PART I
ITEM I. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.S BUSINESS
Operations
Brookside Technology Holdings Corp., (the Company) is the holding company for Brookside
Technology Partners, Inc, a Texas corporation (Brookside Technology Partners), US Voice & Data,
LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company (USVD), Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc., a California
Corporation (Acquisition Sub), Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc., (Trans-West), a California
Corporation and Standard Tel Networks, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (STN). All
operations are conducted through these (five) wholly owned subsidiaries.
Collectively, the subsidiary companies are providers of converged business communications products
and services from Mitel, Inter-tel (owned by Mitel), Nortel and NEC. The Company, is the
2
nd
largest MITEL dealer in the United States, and is recognized by Mitel as a Platinum
ELITE Partner. The Company combines technical expertise in a range of communications products,
including IP-enabled platforms, wired and wireless IP and digital endpoints and leading edge
communications applications to create converged voice, video and data networks that help businesses
increase efficiency and optimize revenue opportunities, critical for success in todays competitive
business environment. Specializing in selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged
Voice over IP (VoIP), data and wireless business communications systems and solutions for
commercial and state/government organizations of all types and sizes in the United States, the
Company has offices that provide a national footprint. Headquartered in Huntington Beach,
California, STN has offices in the Sacramento, and San Diego. Headquartered in Austin, Texas,
Brookside Technology Partners serves the Texas market. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USVD
serves the Kentucky and Southern Indiana markets, operating out of offices in Louisville, Lexington
and Indianapolis. Combined, new implementations represent approximately 70% of the Companys
revenues with the remaining 30% generated by service, support, maintenance and other recurring
revenues from our existing customer base.
Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (Cruisestock) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of
Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant
operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, Cruisestock acquired all of the stock of Brookside
Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside
Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of Cruisestock (the
Share Exchange). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cruisestock. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the
acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the Effective Time), Cruisestock changed its
name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated in Florida. The name change and
redomestication were accomplished by merging Cruisestock into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned
subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the Redomestication).
The Companys common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under
the symbol: BKSD.
Acquisition of USVD
On September 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the membership interest of US Voice & Data, LLC,
an Indiana Limited Liability Company (USVD). USVD, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with
offices in Lexington, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana, is a leading regional provider of
telecommunication services, including planning, design, installation and maintenance for converged
voice and data systems.

Increase in Authorized Shares
On November 19, 2009, shareholders representing a majority of the Companys shares entitled to vote
at a meeting executed and delivered to the Company written consents in lieu of a meeting approving
an increase in the Companys authorized shares of common stock from one billion (1,000,000,000)
shares to ten billion (10,000,000,000) shares.
Vicis Equity Infusion
On July 3, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Vicis Agreement)
with Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust (Vicis),
pursuant to which Vicis acquired (a) 2,500,000 shares of Series A Stock; and (b) a warrant (the
Warrant) to purchase 250,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.03 per share (the
Exercise Price), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (Vicis Equity Infusion). The
warrant included a put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant
agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at
estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative
guidance. The Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants to its fair
value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a
component of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants the company used the
Black-Scholes model. The warrant included a redemption right, payable in cash upon the future
occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial instrument
at fair value of $2,162,879 in connection with this transaction.
Vicis also purchased and assumed from Hilco Financial, LLC (Hilco), and Hilco assigned to Vicis,
all credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which Hilco had loaned money to the
Company. The Company consented to such assignments. In connection with such assignments, Hilco
transferred to Vicis its warrants to purchase 61,273,835 shares of common stock of the Company. In
addition, Vicis purchased and assumed from Dynamic Decisions (DD), and DD assigned to Vicis, all
credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which DD had loaned money to the Company. The
Company consented to such assignments.
All Warrants and Series A Stock each contain provisions that limit their holders ability to
exercise and convert, as applicable, the Warrant and Series A Stock to the extent that, after such
conversion/exercise, the sum of the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the
holder would result in beneficial ownership by any holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of
the outstanding shares of common stock.
As a result of Vicis equity infusion described above, the exercise price of all of the Companys
outstanding warrants, including the warrants transferred to Vicis from Hilco, has been reset to
$0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of those warrants. Additionally, the conversion
price of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock, including those previously owned by Vicis, has
been reset to $0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of the Series A Stock.
Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC
On September 23, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions,
Inc. (Acquisition Sub), acquired Standard Tel Networks, LLC (STN), an independent distributor
of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and services
with California offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego and headquartered in
Huntington Beach. The acquisition was conducted pursuant to a previously-disclosed Stock and
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008, and was structured as the acquisition
of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc. (Trans-West) from the shareholders
of Trans-West (the Trans-West Shareholders) and (b) all of the membership interest of STN owned
by ProLogic Communication, Inc. (ProLogic and collectively with the Trans-West Shareholders, the
Seller Parties). As previously reported, Trans-West, a holding company with no operations, owns
eighty percent (80%) of the membership interest of STN and ProLogic owned the other twenty percent
(20%), and, accordingly, the Company now owns (directly, in part, and indirectly through Trans
West, in other part) one hundred percent (100%) of STN.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Recent Financings
Effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis,
pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued to
Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to
purchase 100,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrant
included a put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant agreements
and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at estimated fair
value on the
3
Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. The Company is
required to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants to its fair value at each balance sheet
date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a component of other expense or
income. In valuing the above warrants the company used the Black-Scholes model. The warrant
included a redemption right, payable in cash upon the future occurrence of a change in control. As
Such, the Company recorded a derivative financial instrument at fair value of $898,756 in
connection with this transaction.
Additionally, effective April 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Vicis, pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $3,000,000 in the Company and the
Company issued to Vicis 3,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Stock and a warrant to purchase
300,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrant included a
put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant agreements and recorded
at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at estimated fair value on the
Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. In accordance with
the authoritative guidance, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above
warrants to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior
balance sheet date as a component of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants, the
Company used the Black-Scholes model. The warrant included a redemption right, payable in cash upon
the future occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial
instrument at fair value of $4,336,103 in connection with this transaction in April 2010.
Industry Overview
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, operates in a highly specialized market of
providing turnkey converged voice and data solutions for companies of all sizes and types. We
believe this market is currently evolving. This coupled with the de-franchising and customer
abandonment in the small to medium size market place as a result of numerous mergers by traditional
operating companies such as Southwestern Bell, AT&T, Verizon and Bellsouth has created a
significant opportunity for expert convergence companies. We believe Voice over IP (VoIP) is one
of the most promising advancements in the telecommunications industry in the past 10 years. This
technology uses Internet Protocol or IP to support two-way transmission of voice traffic over IT
networks rather than traditional separate phone networks. Setting voice on an IP network allows
service providers and businesses to combine both voice and data services over a single network. Key
benefits to VoIP are:
|
|
|
Network cost reduction
|
|
|
|
|
Cost-effective remote user applications
|
|
|
|
|
New, simplified features and functionality for users
|
|
|
|
|
Shared infrastructure resources
|
|
|
|
|
Improved inter-company WAN communications
|
Products and Services
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary companies, is a provider of converged business
communications products and services from Mitel, Inter-tel (owned by Mitel), Nortel and NEC. The
Company, as the 2
nd
largest MITEL dealer and as a Platinum ELITE Partner, combines
technical expertise in a range of communications products, including IP-enabled platforms, wired
and wireless IP and digital endpoints and leading edge communications applications to create
converged voice, video and data networks that help businesses increase efficiency and optimize
revenue opportunities, critical for success in todays competitive business environment.
Specializing in selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged VoIP, data and wireless
business communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government organizations of
all types and sizes in the United States, the Company has offices that provide a national
footprint. Headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, STN has offices in the San Francisco Bay
Area, Sacramento, and San Diego. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Brookside Technology Partners
serves the Texas market. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USVD serves the Kentucky and
Southern Indiana markets, operating out of offices in Louisville, Lexington and Indianapolis.
Combined new implementations represent approximately 70% of the Companys revenues with the
remaining 30% generated by service, support, maintenance and other recurring revenues from our
existing customer base.
Through our growth strategy, which is discussed below, we hope to offer a complete line of emerging
communications technology and service support coverage to the national marketplace.

Our Business Strategy
Management believes that our future growth will be based upon a continued concentration on the core
aspects of our business: targeted sales/marketing activities with broader geographic coverage and
product offerings, expanded domestic and international OEM/VAR relationships, sourcing new product
innovations designed to enhance the VoIP solution, exceptional professional services. We believe
there is a growing customer demand for a nationally authorized and certified distributor
specializing in converged VoIP technologies. We hope to acquire synergistic
small to medium size VoIP convergence distributors in an effort to develop a national
telecommunications company focused on VoIP. Potential acquisition candidates would include
wholesalers and re-marketers of business telephones systems and telecommunications equipment
components and other companies that would complement the various technologies that are part of a
converged voice, data, and wireless network. Such companies would include those that provide point
of sale, wireless ISP, data networking professional services, web development and hosting
technologies and services. Management believes there will be a number of significant advantages
derived from combining and merging such small and medium sized companies, including:
|
|
|
Expanded product offering
|
|
|
|
|
Increased product volume discounts
|
|
|
|
|
Centralized accounting and administration
|
|
|
|
|
National market presence
|
|
|
|
|
Accreditations and Certifications for complete product offering(s)

|
|
|
|
National professional services capabilities
|
|
|
|
|
Improved management focus and direction
|
|
|
|
|
Institutional training and skill development

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully acquire and integrate such companies
into its business. See Risk Factors.
See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation.
Marketing and Distribution
Through our 8 district offices, we employ advanced technical experts and provide unparalleled
service in converged voice, data and video markets. We have also established a standard sales
process in all of our district offices as well as company-wide tracking of the sales process by
specific sales person in order to properly manage and track sales activity. We have demonstration
facilities for our products in all offices.
We target businesses with 25-500 employees as well as certain vertical markets such as multi
location banks, law firms, medical centers and professional offices that have embraced our value
proposition, which includes the delivery and installation of the hardware at competitive pricing ,
as well as hardware and software maintenance and service contracts, and competitive financing.
These targeted efforts have been accelerated though the use of certain lead-generating databases we
have developed and have purchased. Our prospecting approach and sales process revolves around our
proprietary promise of value through our Telefficiency program. This process includes
telemarketing, email, and face-to-face activities to identify prospective customers. We practice a
5 STEP Sales/Assessment process to identify where and how our products and services align with our
prospects goals and objectives. The effects of Telefficiency for our customers include increased
top and bottom line and improvements in employees productivity and efficiency. Our proprietary
Telefficiency Program bundles into one payment the technology, warranty, care/support, as well as
protection against obsolescence.
Competition
The converged voice and data solutions market is highly competitive, and is characterized by
continuously developing technology (hardware and software products) and frequent introductions of
new products and features. As we continue to grow, we will have greater market presence and
resources to compete with any national providers of like products and services. Management believes
that its three primary competitors are equipment manufacturers, professional service firms and
hosted-solution providers within the premise based and hosted solution environments. We expect
competition to
5
increase as other companies introduce additional and more competitive products in the VoIP market
and as we develop additional capabilities and source new product offerings and new technological
solutions.
Equipment Manufacturers.
Some traditional phone manufacturers and VoIP equipment manufacturers
(Cisco, Mitel, Siemens, Avaya, etc.) possess professional service organizations that sell and
deploy VoIP solutions. The companies have vast resources and large sales forces and represent the
primary competitive threat to us. The equipment manufacturers in conjunction with software
companies and even academic institutions are attempting to develop sophisticated communication
solutions in regards to VoIP.
Professional Service Firms.
The professional service category is one of the fastest growing IT
service market segments due to the rapid pace of VoIP deployments. The firms in this category range
from individual contractors that service local communities to large IT organizations wanting to
enter the VoIP market.
Hosted Solutions Firms.
A hosted VoIP system is a phone system that is available over the Internet
or a secure network through which the supplier houses telecom equipment and features are delivered
remotely. Hosted telecom services are gaining in popularity because they require less capital and
expense commitment, can be implemented quickly, require less in-house technical expertise, and are
also very scalable. A premise based solution refers to environments where equipment, which provides
the functionality for the phone system, resides at the site/office building of the company. This
equipment (typically systems called PBXs) and related software systems are housed in a central
location near the IT network equipment. These solutions allow companies greater control of the
equipment, customization capability for their environments and the ability to develop
back-up/redundant systems for critical path applications (e.g. call centers). Premise based
solutions typically require higher-level IT staff or outside contractors to manage, large capital
investments and long implementation/upgrade times. Companies such as Voxpath, PointOne and Vonage
are competitors now, but the larger threats in this category come from the cable companies (Time
Warner, AT&T, etc.) and the traditional phone companies (SBC, Verizon). Both entities have
marketing muscle and sophisticated networks but, we believe, currently lack specific VoIP
knowledge. This is rapidly changing as companies are making large investments on equipment,
personnel and service organizations in order to ride the VoIP wave.
Government Regulation
Various aspects of our business are subject to regulation and ongoing review by a variety of
federal, state, and local agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission, the United States Post
Office, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, Food and
Drug Administration, various States Attorneys General and other state and local consumer
protection and health agencies. The statutes, rules and regulations applicable to our operations,
and to various products marketed by it, are numerous, complex and subject to change.
Employees
We have 121 employees as of March 31, 2010, consisting of six executive officers, 40 salespeople,
55 technicians and 19 administrative staff. None of our employees is a party to a collective
bargaining agreement and we believe our relationship with our existing employees is good. We may
also employ certain consultants and independent contractors to assist in the completion of
projects.
Our principal corporate office is located at 15500 Roosevelt Blvd, Suite 101, Clearwater, FL 33760,
and our telephone number is (727) 535-2151. We are a Florida corporation.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the risks described below and other information contained in this report before deciding
to invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company.
Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently consider immaterial may also
adversely affect our company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case,
the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your
investment.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding to invest in or maintain
your investment in our Company. The risks described below are not intended to be an all-inclusive
list of the potential risks relating to an investment in our securities. If any of the following
or other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results and the
trading price or value of our securities could be materially adversely affected.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS:
Our Chatham Senior Loan may not provide adequate cash flow to finance our operations.
The Chatham Credit Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants that
require the Company, on a consolidated basis, to maintain at the end of each month: (1) a fixed
charge coverage ratio for the 12 months then ended of at least 1.75:1; and (2) a leverage ratio as
of the last day of such fiscal month and for the 12 months then ended of not more than 3:1, in each
case calculated as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Although the Company was in compliance with
all of its covenants at December 31, 2008, the Company is currently not in compliance with the
leverage ratio. There can be no assurances that we will generate sufficient availability under this
arrangement to provide adequate financing to fund our business strategy. Failure to do so will
have a severe adverse affect on the Company. In April 2010, Chatham waived all existing defaults
and the Company is now in full compliance with its financial covenants under this agreement.
We have very limited liquidity from operations.
The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $2,363,407 and $332,352 during the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Failure to improve the Companys cash from
operations could have a severe adverse affect on the Company.
We may not be able to undertake our growth strategy.
In addition to operating Brookside Technology Partners, USVDs and STNs historical businesses,
our growth strategy calls for undertaking strategic acquisitions over the next 12 months. See
Description of Business Growth Strategy. since our liquidity issues caused us to enter into a
default situation with Chatham, this will limit our access to capital. As such, we may not be able
to implement our acquisition strategy.
We may not be able to manage our anticipated growth.
Our growth plan calls for the acquisition of other businesses. As a result of the USVD and STN
acquisitions, our management team has greater experience in negotiating, closing and integrating
acquisitions into our core business. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to
successfully acquire or integrate other business. Additionally, our growth strategy is anticipated
to place significant demands on our managerial and operational resources. Our failure to manage our
growth efficiently may, among other things, divert managements attention from the operation of our
core business and negatively impact our business.
As a result of our being a reporting public company, our expenses increase proportionately.
Our ongoing expenses have increased significantly, including expenses in compensation to our
officers, ongoing public company expenses, including increased legal and accounting expenses as a
result of our status as a reporting company and the requirement that we register the shares
underlying the preferred stock and warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, expenses
incurred in complying with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and
obligations incurred in connection with the acquisition of USVD and STN. Our failure to generate
sufficient revenue and gross profit could result in reduced profits or increased losses as a result
of the additional expenses.
Fluctuations in our operating results and announcements and developments concerning our business
affect our stock price.
Our quarterly operating results, the number of stockholders desiring to sell their shares, changes
in general economic conditions and the financial markets, the execution of new contracts and the
completion of existing agreements and other developments affecting us, could cause the market price
of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
Our officers and directors are involved in other businesses which may cause them to devote less
time to our business.
Our officers and directors involvement with other businesses may cause them to allocate their
time and services between us and other entities. Consequently, they may give priority to other
matters over our needs, which may materially cause us
7
to lose their services temporarily, which could affect our operations and profitability. We also
rely heavily on Michael Promotico, CEO of STN. The loss of any of these individuals would
adversely impact us.
We are dependent upon third party suppliers to provide our products, and the loss of these
suppliers or a disruption or interruption in the supply chain may adversely affect our business.
We do not manufacture any of our products. We purchase our products from third parties. The loss of
one or more of our suppliers could cause a significant disruption or interruption in the supply
chain and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Nortel, one of our major third
party suppliers, filed for bankruptcy protection on January 14, 2009. The Company does not believe
that the Nortel bankruptcy will material impact its future revenues or results from operation. As
a percentage of total sales, Nortel represents the least amount of products sold. Only Brookside
Technology Partners, Inc., the Companys subsidiary in Texas, sells Nortel. Further, Nortel
products remain available to the Company notwithstanding the bankruptcy. Additionally, while
Brookside Technology Partners, Inc has and will continue to support Nortel customers with Nortel
products, it can transition new and future customers to Mitel and NEC products.
Our success depends, in part, on the quality of our products.
Our success depends, in part, on the quality of our products. If our products are found to be
defective or unsafe, or if they otherwise fail to meet our customers standards, our relationships
with our customers could suffer, our brand appeal could be diminished, and we could lose market
share and/or become subject to liability claims, any of which could result in a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is dependent on our relationship with certain strategic partners
.
We are a Mitel Platinum Elite Partner, a Nortel Premium Advantage Partner and a NEC dealer. As
such, we provide Mitel, Nortel and NEC certified System Design and Support professionals for
pre-sales system design, implementation, and project management. We specialize in selling,
designing, analyzing and implementing converged Voice over IP (VoIP), data and wireless business
communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government organizations of all types
and sizes in the United States. These platforms are the backbone of our business, typically
accounting for approximately 65% of the Companys revenue. A loss of any of these relationships
could have a material adverse effect on our business.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING ARRANGEMENT:
There are a large number of shares underlying our Series A Stock and various classes of warrants
held by Chatham and Vicis that may be available for future sale and the sale of these shares may
depress the market price of our common stock.
We have very light trading volume and a lot of shares available for sale. We have issued shares of
Preferred Stock that are convertible into 1,310,671,600 shares of common stock, along with warrants
that are convertible into a total of 737,612,003 shares of common stock. Included in this amount
is an additional warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of common stock to Vicis, issued on June 1,
2009. We have agreed to register the resale of all the shares of common stock underlying the
Preferred Stock and the warrants. The sale of any of the foregoing shares of common stock may
adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We havent experienced a significant amount
of trading volume. As a result, if you purchase any shares of common stock, such shares may be
relatively illiquid and you may lose your entire investment. Further, if we fail to timely file or
maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement in violation of our contractual
obligations to register the shares, we may incur additional liquidated damages. Through December
31, 2009, the Company has incurred a liability totaling $154,400. Penalty warrants in the amount
of 2,523,919 were issued in connection with the late registration of the shares underlying the
Series A Stock and warrants issued in the Private Placement. The liability incurred in connection
with the Private Placement therefore totaled $25,693 and were included in additional paid-in
capital as it was considered possible at the time the Series A Stock were issued. The liability
incurred as a result of the late filing of the Series B Stock (classified as debt) and the USVD
Sellers was 720,000 additional warrants issued and 105,000 common shares to be issued with a
calculated liability of $154,400 at December 31, 2008. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes
model to determine the fair value of its warrants.
8
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK:
Maintaining and improving our financial controls and the requirements of being a public company may
strain our resources, divert managements attention and affect our ability to attract and retain
qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of the OTCBB. The
requirements of these rules and regulations will increase our legal, accounting and financial
compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly, and may also place
undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to
do. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management oversight will
be required. We have a substantial effort ahead of us as we implement the appropriate processes,
document the system of internal control over relevant processes, assess their design, remediate any
deficiencies identified, and test their operation. As a result, managements attention may be
diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting related costs.
We are not required to maintain a board of directors with a majority of independent directors. To
the extent we become required to do so, we expect these rules and regulations may make it more
difficult and more expensive for us to maintain directors and officers liability insurance, and
we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to maintain
coverage. If we are unable to maintain adequate directors and officers insurance, our ability to
recruit and retain qualified directors, especially those directors who may be considered
independent and officers will be significantly curtailed.
We are not required to meet or maintain any listing standards for our common stock to be quoted on
the OTC Bulletin Board, which could affect our stockholders ability to access trading information
about our stock.
OTCBB Market is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ Stock Market and any national stock exchange,
such as the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange. Although the OTC Bulletin
Board is a regulated quotation service operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers
(NASD) that displays real-time quotes, last sales prices, and volume information in
over-the-counter (OTC) equity securities like our common stock, we are not required to meet or
maintain any qualitative or quantitative standards for our common stock to be quoted on the OTCBB.
Our common stock does not presently meet the minimum listing standards for listing on the NASDAQ
Stock Market or any national securities exchange, which could affect our stockholders ability to
access trading information about our common stock.
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC
Bulletin Board, which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the
ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under
Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail
to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board.
As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by
limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to
sell their securities in the secondary market.
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 21% of our common stock; their
interests could conflict with yours; significant sales of stock held by them could have a negative
effect on our stock price; stockholders may be unable to exercise control.
As of March 31, 2009, our executive officers, directors and affiliated persons beneficially owned
approximately 21% of our common stock. As a result, our executive officers, directors and
affiliated persons will have significant influence to:
|
|
|
elect or defeat the election of our directors;
|
|
|
|
|
amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws;
|
9
|
|
|
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and
|
|
|
|
|
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote.
|
As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers collectively are
able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election
of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant
amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales,
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Managements stock ownership may
discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from
realizing a premium over our stock price.
Because we may be subject to the penny stock rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common
stock.
If our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SECs penny stock
rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that
sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors.
The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock
and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own. According to the SEC, the market
for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns
include:
|
|
|
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are
often related to the promoter or issuer;
|
|
|
|
|
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and
false and misleading press releases;
|
|
|
|
|
Boiler room practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic
price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
|
|
|
|
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling
broker-dealers; and
|
|
|
|
|
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable
collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
|
As an issuer of penny stock the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to
forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a
public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not
available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock company, we will not
have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material
provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect
because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and
stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our
operating results could be harmed. We may be required in the future to document and test our
internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires increased control over financial reporting requirements,
including annual management assessments of the effectiveness of such internal controls and a report
by our independent certified public accounting firm addressing these assessments. Failure to
achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are
required to maintain such controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously disclosed, in 2007, the Company purchased USVD from the Michael P. Fischer
Irrevocable Delaware Trust and the M. Scott Diamond Irrevocable Delaware Trust (the USVD Sellers)
pursuant to a Membership Purchase Agreement between the Company and the USVD Sellers, dated
September 26, 2007 (the USVD Agreement). The original purchase price was $15,429,242. As of
September 30, 2009, the Company has paid to the USVD Sellers a total of $14,533,690, representing
94% of all sums payable under the USVD Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the acquisition of USVD, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond were provided
employment agreements, pursuant to which they held the positions of CEO and COO, respectively, at
USVD. The employee agreements provided Messrs. Fischer and Diamond with annual base salaries of
$105,000 and $145,000, respectively. As a result, until recently, the Company relied on Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond to continue to operate USVD.
However, on May 12, 2009, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond notified the Company that they considered
their employment to be constructively terminated as a result of the Company having failed to pay
them, collectively, an EBITDA earn-out payment of approximately $289,000 they claim they were due
on April 30, 2009. Since such time, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond have not shown up to work and they
have ceased performing any employment duties.
As discussed further above under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis, USVDs
revenues, under the direction of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, for the six months ended June 30,
2009 were approximately $2,700,000 lower than its revenues in the same period in 2008. This
decrease adversely impacted the Companys liquidity and subsequently the Companys largest equity
investor, Vicis, provided an additional capital infusion. Also, the Company and its primary lender,
Chatham, have made modifications to the Companys credit facility.
Fortunately, USVDs first quarter decreased earnings were offset by increased earnings provided by
STN, as well as increased earnings at USVD for the second quarter under the direction of Brookside
Technology Holdings Corps management and other existing USVD and STN senior managers, discussed
further above under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis. However, while the
Company may have this offset from these combined strong earnings, Messrs. Fischers and Diamonds
earn-outs were to be based solely on USVDs EBITDA. Given USVDs performance under Messrs.
Fischers and Diamonds stewardship prior to May 12, 2009, it is presently unclear whether they
would have earned any future earn-out payments subsequent to their alleged constructive
terminations.
In addition to their alleged constructive termination, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond claim that their
Restrictive Covenant Agreement entered into as part of their Employment Agreements signed with the
Company at the time of the USVD
11
acquisition are now null and void and that, accordingly, they are free to compete with the Company
and USVD, and to solicit USVD employees. Subsequent to the departures of Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond, on May 26, 2009, several USVD employees, mostly sales personnel, entered the USVD premises
unescorted and removed Company and personal belongings in connection with their resignations from
USVD and their new employment with a new company, which the Company believes is owned by Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond and/or some of their family members, either directly or indirectly.
In response to the actions of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and certain former USVD employees, the
Company has worked diligently to secure USVD and its assets, employees, vendors, partners and
customers. USVDs employees, vendors, partners and customers have reconfirmed their support and
loyalty to USVD, despite the fact that many of them have been solicited by Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond and certain former USVD employees.
On July 17, 2009, the USVD Sellers filed a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County,
Kentucky, alleging that the Company breached the USVD Agreement by failing to pay the previously
mentioned $289,000 EBITDA earn-out payment they claim they was due on April 30, 2009, in addition
to $1,750,000 of other future payments they claim they are entitled to accelerate as a result of
such alleged breach. The lawsuit calls for an acceleration of all money owed to the USVD Sellers
including: the $850,000 Seller Note, the $289,000 accrued EBITDA earn-out and an additional
$900,000 of Minimum Cash Payments (as defined by the employment agreements of Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond) in connection with future estimations of earn-outs yet to be earned. The Company has a
note payable USVD Sellers included in its long-term debt of $850,000 as well as an accrual for
the $289,000 accrued 2008 earn-out payment that the USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond,
claim is due to them.
On October 8, 2009 filed an answer and counter-claim to the USVD Sellers civil action discussed
above. This answer and counter-claim outlines, among other things, the Companys arguments for
defense as well as the Companys claims of breaches of fiduciary duty and other common law,
contractual, quasi-contractual, and statutory claims against former employees of USVD. During their
periods of employment, various employees of USVD who are now employees of a competitor, engaged in
a variety of acts and omissions in breach of their legal duties to USVD and Brookside, including
but not limited to (1) failure of the CEO and COO to fulfill their contractual duties under their
Employment Agreements; (2) acts by these and other employees with fiduciary duties to act in the
best interests of the company as opposed to their individual self-interests or the interests of
third parties, in company matters; (3) destruction and/or seizure of proprietary documents and
information belonging to USVD for the benefit of a competitor; and (4) failure by sales personnel
to reimburse USVD for funds advanced on sales on behalf of USVD which were not consummated prior to
their departures. The Company is continuing to analyze the forgoing civil action and continues to
aggressively investigate the actions undertaken by of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, as well as the
former USVD employees, both before and after their resignations. The litigation is in its early
stages, and it is premature to project its outcome. The Company continues to vigorously defend the
Circuit Court action and to pursue all available defenses, claims and counter claims against the
USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, and certain former USVD employees.

Dividend Policy
The Company has not paid or declared any dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to keep future earnings, if
any, to finance the expansion of the Companys business, and the Company does not anticipate that
any cash dividends will be paid in the near future. The Companys financing facility prohibits the
payment of any dividends on its common stock. The Companys future payment of dividends will depend
on the Companys earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other
relevant factors.
The Series A Stock pays an annual dividend of 8%, which is payable quarterly, at the option of
the Company, either in cash or in shares of registered common stock at a 10% discount to the
Companys stock price. Effective July 3, 2008, all of the Series B Stock previously owned by Vicis
was converted into Series A Stock. Accordingly the Company no longer has any outstanding shares of
Series B Stock. The Series B Stock paid an annual dividend of 16%, payable quarterly, classified
as interest expense. The accrued interest of $371,945 was also converted to Series A Stock on July
3, 2008.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words
such as may, will, expect, anticipate, believe, estimate and continue, or similar
words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
|
|
|
discuss our future expectations;
|
|
|
|
|
contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
condition; and
|
|
|
|
|
state other forward-looking information.
|
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the
future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual
results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Risk
Factors, Business and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Plan of Operation
Introduction
Our company, Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (formerly Cruisestock, Inc.), is headquartered
in Clearwater, Florida and was incorporated in September, 2005 under the laws of the State of
Texas. On February 21, 2007, through a series of transactions (the Share Exchange), we acquired
Brookside Technology Partners, Inc. (Brookside Technology Partners), which was incorporated in
December 2001 under the laws of the State of Texas. Prior to the Share Exchange, we were a
development stage company and had not realized any revenues from our operations. As a result of the
Share Exchange, (i) Brookside Technology Partners became our wholly-owned subsidiary, (ii) the
former stockholders of Brookside Technology Partners obtained, collectively, the majority ownership
of the outstanding common stock of our company and (iii) we succeeded to the business of Brookside
Technology Partners as our sole business. From an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology
Partners was the acquirer in the Share Exchange. Because of the forgoing, management does not
believe that it is informative or useful to compare Cruisestocks results of operations with those
of Brookside Technology Partners. Instead, below we discuss Brookside Technology Partners results
of operations and financial performance. See Note 1 to our Financial Statement contained herein.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Brookside Technology Partners is a provider and global managed
service company specializing in selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged VoIP, data
and wireless business communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government
organizations of all types and sizes in the United States. Brookside is recognized a leading VoIP
resellers and professional services vendors with over 300 BCM installations that have various forms
of networked or VoIP functionality.
Additionally, on September 14, 2007, we acquired all of the membership interest of USVD from The
Michael P. Fischer Irrevocable Delaware Trust under Agreement dated April 5, 2007, and The M. Scott
Diamond Irrevocable Delaware Trust under Agreement dated April 23, 2007 (the Sellers), pursuant
to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement closed on such date (the Purchase Agreement).
Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USVD is a leading regional provider of telecommunication
services including planning, design, installation and maintenance for the converged voice and data
systems. USVD serves the Kentucky and Southern Indiana markets, operating out of offices in
Louisville, Lexington and Indianapolis. USVD combines technical expertise in a range of
communications products, including IP-enabled platforms, wired and wireless IP and digital
endpoints and leading edge communications applications to create converged voice, video and data
networks that help businesses increase efficiency and optimize revenue opportunities, critical for
success in todays competitive business environment. The sale of new systems, built on either
Inter-Tel or NEC platforms, is the backbone of USVDs business, typically accounting for
approximately 65% of USVDs revenue. The purchase price of approximately $15,400,000 was paid
through a combination of common stock, cash at closing and a seller note. Additionally, the
Purchase Agreement provides the Sellers with the opportunity to earn additional stock or cash
consideration in the form of a three-year performance based earn-out.
16
Additionally, the Company caused USVD, its new subsidiary, to enter into employment agreements with
Michael P. Fischer and M. Scott Diamond, with initial terms of three years, pursuant to which they
will serve as USVDs CEO and COO, respectively. The employment agreements contain standard terms
and provisions, including non competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to
early termination and constructive termination, and provide for an annual base salary and certain
standard benefits. These employee agreements are attached as an exhibit to this prospectus.
Additionally, on September 23, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tel
Acquisitions, Inc. (Acquisition Sub), acquired Standard Tel Networks, LLC (STN), an independent
distributor of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and
services with California offices in the San Francisco Bay area, Sacramento, San Diego and
headquartered in Huntington Beach. The Company caused STN, its new subsidiary, to enter into an
employment agreement with Michael Promotico, with an initial term of three years, pursuant to which
he will serve as STNs Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement contain standard terms and
provisions, including non competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to
early termination and constructive termination, and provide for an annual base salary and certain
standard benefits. This employee agreement is attached as an exhibit to this prospectus.
On July 3, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Vicis Agreement)
with Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust (Vicis),
pursuant to which Vicis acquired (a) 2,500,000 shares of Series A Stock; and (b) a warrant to
purchase 250,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.03 per share (the Exercise
Price), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (Vicis Equity Infusion). Furthermore,
pursuant to the Vicis Agreement, all of the 3,000,000 shares outstanding of the Companys Series B
Stock previously owned by Vicis were converted into 3,000,000 shares of Series A Stock.
Accordingly, the Company no longer has any outstanding shares of Series B Stock. The Exercise Price
is subject to a price adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events set forth
in the Warrant.
Vicis also purchased and assumed from Hilco Financial, LLC (Hilco), and Hilco assigned to Vicis,
all credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which Hilco had loaned money to the
Company. The Company consented to such assignments. In connection with such assignments, Hilco
transferred to Vicis their warrants to purchase 61,273,835 shares of common stock of the Company.
In addition, Vicis purchased and assumed from Dynamic Decisions (DD), and DD assigned to Vicis,
all credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which DD had loaned money to the Company.
The Company consented to such assignments.
All Warrants and Series A Stock each contain provisions that limit their holders ability to
exercise and convert, as applicable, the Warrant and Series A Stock to the extent that, after such
conversion/exercise, the sum of the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the
holder would result in beneficial ownership by any holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of
the outstanding shares of common stock.
As a result of Vicis equity infusion described above, the exercise price of all of the Companys
outstanding warrants, including the warrants transferred to Vicis from Hilco, has been reset to
$0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of those warrants. Additionally, the conversion
price of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock, including those previously owned by Vicis, has
been reset to $0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of the Series A Stock.
In connection with the closing of the STN Acquisition and the Chatham Financing, Vicis and the
Company entered into, and closed upon, a Securities Purchase and Loan Conversion Agreement, dated
September 23, 2008, pursuant to which the Company, in full satisfaction of the Vicis Debt: (i) paid
$2,250,000 in cash to Vicis; (ii) delivered to Vicis a subordinated note in the principal amount of
$1,500,000, bearing interest at 10% and maturing on April 15, 2010; and (iii) converted the balance
of the Vicis Debt (assumed from Hilco and DD), including all accrued interest of $676,384, in the
combined aggregate amount of $5,026,384, into 5,026,384 shares of the Companys Series A Stock.
Vicis entered into a subordination agreement with Chatham, wherein Vicis agreed to subordinate the
Vicis Subordinated Note to the Loans. As a result, all Prior Credit Documents have been terminated
effective September 23, 2008.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Brookside should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements included herewith. This discussion should not
be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future,
or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in
the future.
17
HISTORICAL RESULTS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008.
Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Margins
Total revenues from operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $17,542,252 compared to
$21,709,607 reported for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $4,167,355 or 19.2%. This decrease
in revenues is primarily due to the decreased sales activity at USVD experienced in 2009 versus the
comparable period in 2008. This decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of STN, which
added $7,216,474 to the Companys total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009. While the
Company believes that a portion of this decrease in earnings may be due to general market and
economic conditions, however, as discussed further under Legal Proceedings, the Company has taken
action and continues to aggressively investigate the actions of certain former employees of USVD
undertaken both before and after their resignations from USVD. Since the departure of the former
USVD employees, the Company has successfully hired sales and sales management personnel and
transitioned USVD operations and administrative management to the Companys management team.
Cost of sales was $7,151,826 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $11,160,248 reported
for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $4,008,422 or 35.9%. Total cost of sales decreased due
to decreased revenues discussed above while cost of sales decreased as a percentage of total sales.
As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 40.8% and 51.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively. This improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is primarily
attributable to the Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, Teleficiency, a
universal focus on higher margin, approach specific, value added business and technology solutions.
Gross margin was $10,390,426 or 59.2% as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31,
2009 compared to $10,549,359 or 48.6% as a percentage of revenue reported for the same period in
2008. The increase in the gross margin as a percentage of revenue is due primarily to the
Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, Teleficiency, a universal focus on higher
margin, approach specific, value added business and technology solutions.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $11,974,143 and $8,851,632 for the year ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively, representing an increase of $3,122,511. The increase in 2009 was due
primarily to the full year of operations for STN in 2009 versus only a partial year in 2008. This
accounted for $3,534,247 of the increase. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in
general and administrative expenses due to organizational sizing and direct cost cutting to reduce
general and administrative expenses. The Companys management continues to evaluate expenses in
line with revenues to determine additional cost cutting.
Rental expense for operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $672,875 and
$504,693 respectively, representing an increase of $168,182. The increase is primarily due to the
full year of operations of STN which accounted for $157,226 of the increase.
On July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a 31 month lease for its Austin operations under a lease
classified as an operating lease. Effective September 26, 2007, the Company assumed current
operating leases for the three offices leased by USVD. On October 15, 2007, the Company entered
into a 60 month lease for its headquarters in Clearwater, Florida effective December 1, 2007. On
June 15, 2009, the Company entered into a new lease for its Sacramento operations for 28 months
under a lease classified as an operating lease. On September 7, 2009 the Company extended the
lease for its San Diego operations for 60 months under a lease classified as an operating lease.

Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $77,733 compared to $165,237
reported for the same period in 2008. The 2009 expense relates to the stock option agreements
entered into with Sara Hines. Pursuant to Ms.
18
Hines stock option agreement, we granted to Ms. Hines an option to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares
of our common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share (the Sara Hines options). The 2008
expense relates to the stock option agreements entered into with Dan Parker, Bonnie Parker, Michael
Promotico, and the cancellation and re-issuance in 2008 of the stock options originally issued to
Bryan McGuire and George Pacinelli in 2007. Pursuant to Mr. Parkers stock option agreement, we
granted to Mr. Parker an option to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $0.05 per share (the Dan Parker Options). Pursuant to Ms. Parkers stock
option agreement, we granted to Ms. Parker an option to purchase up to 200,000 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share (the Bonnie Parker Options). Pursuant to Mr.
Promoticos stock option agreement, we granted to Mr. Promotico an option to purchase up to
4,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share (the Promotico
Options). Additionally, in 2008 we cancelled the options originally issued to Bryan McGuire and
George Pacinelli in 2007 (discussed in the previous paragraph) and re-issued to Mr. Pacinelli an
option to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per
share (the Pacinelli Options) and re-issued to Mr. McGuires an option to purchase up to
7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share (the McGuire
Options) (the Sara Hines Options, the Dan Parker Options, the Bonnie Parker Options, the Promotico
Options, the Pacinelli Options and the McGuire Options collectively hereinafter referred to as the
Options). The Options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and were granted pursuant to our 2007
Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which we have reserved 35,000,000 shares of common stock for
issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The Options vest as follows:

The Company recognizes employee stock based compensation in accordance with the authoritative
guidance. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to value all stock options.
Compensation for restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on
the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Companys common stock.
Compensation cost for all awards will be recognized in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company recognized $77,733 and $165,237 in Employee Stock Compensation Expense,
respectively. The Company has unrecognized stock compensation expense of $97,223 which will be
recognized to expense over the remaining vesting period.
Amortization Expense
The Company recognized $1,705,064 and $5,602,861 of amortization expense for the years ending
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This represented a decrease of $3,897,797. The
amortization expense was related to the accounting treatment of the warrants issued and allocation
of beneficial conversion in connection with the debt financing for the acquisition of USVD and the
acquisition of STN. The amortization expense also includes amortization related to deferred
financing costs and intangible assets. The decrease is due primarily to the full amortization in
2008 of the warrants issued with the Hilco financing.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $2,125,740 and $2,041,393 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This increase of $84,347 is due primarily to the interest charged on the increasing
debt balance with Chatham in 2009.
Finance Expense on Derivatives
Finance expense on derivatives was $3,811,803 and $4,156,069 for the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively. The $4,156,069 in 2008 was due to the valuation of the Vicis warrants
issued in connection with the STN acquisition financing. The $3,811,803 in 2009 was due to the
valuation of the Vicis warrants of $925,571 issued in connection with the $1,000,000 financing and
$2,886,232 for the series A, B and C warrants issued with the initial Series A Stock transactions
which took place in 2007, which was previously classified in equity. This expense is the amount by
which the fair value of the derivative liability exceeds the proceeds received. These valuations
were based on the Black-Scholes model.
19
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
Gain on change in fair market value of derivative financial instruments was $10,390,719 and
$5,245,207 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This is an increase in
gain of $5,145,512. This is due to the decrease in fair market value of the warrants pursuant to
valuation using the Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of the derivative liability decreased as a
result of a decline in the market price of the Companys common stock.
Loss on Impairment of Goodwill
The Company performed an analysis to ascertain the potential impairment to the current carrying
value of goodwill. Management considered an analysis based on discounted cash flow and a market
based apporach to be the most applicable. This analysis was based on projected cash flows for the
years ended 2010 through 2013, with a residual value of 4.5 times the earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). This multiple approximates the actual negotiated
average purchase price of STN and USVD by the Company, negotiated at arms-length. In order to
achieve these future cash flows, the Company added an assumption for an initial investment of
$1,000,000 in 2010.
Based on these assumptions, the Company calculated the value of goodwill to be $11,659,254. Since
the carrying value of goodwill was $16,980,029, an adjustment for impairment of long-lived assets
of $5,320,775 was made at December 31, 2009. There was no loss for impairment of goodwill for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $28,062 and $164,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This expense relates to state income tax due for the year ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.
Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, the Company adopted the authoritative
guidance regarding the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The authoritative guidance
contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step
is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence
indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including
resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the
tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company has not changed any of its tax
accrual estimates. The Company files U.S. federal and U.S. state tax returns. For state tax
returns the Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2006.
Net (Income) Loss
Net loss was $4,325,188 and $4,986,482 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This represents a decrease in net loss of $661,294. This decrease is primarily due
to the increase in gain on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments of $10,390,719
and the decrease in amortization expense of $3,897,797, partially offset by the loss on impairment
of goodwill of $5,320,775.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Additional Capital
To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of our equity or equity-related
securities of our subsidiaries, the issuance of our securities could result in dilution to our
stockholders. No assurance can be given that we will have access to the capital markets in the
future, or that financing will be available on terms acceptable to satisfy our cash requirements,
implement our business strategies, and meet the restrictive requirements of the debenture financing
described above. If we are unable to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable financing,
our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. We
may be required to raise substantial additional funds through other means. In 2009 and 2008 we
did not generate sufficient revenues from our commercial operations associated with product salse.
Management will seek to raise additional capital through one or more equity or debt financings or
have discussions with certain investors with regard thereto. We cannot assure our stockholders
that our revenues will be sufficient to fund our operations.
20
In April 2010 we obtained an additional $3 million in equity financing, which we believe will
be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months. However if our revenues
continue to be insufficient and if adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to
curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with
collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to sell certain of our
technologies or products.
The Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $4.3 million and
has an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009,
the Company had net cash used in operations of approximately $2.4 million. Historically, the
Company has relied on borrowings and equity financings to maintain its operations. The Company
believes it has enough cash to operate for the coming year with its cash on hand, cash to be
generated from operations and the borrowing availability with its lenders. However, the recent
economic downturn could have a material effect on its business operations. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is focused on managing costs in line with estimated total revenues for 2010 and beyond,
including contingencies for cost reductions if projected revenues are not fully realized. However,
there can be no assurance that anticipated revenues will be realized or that the Company will
successfully implement its plans. Additionally, the Company is in discussions with its senior and
subordinated lender regarding obtaining additional financing to execute its business plan. See
Risk Factors.

In 2009 and 2008 we did not have sufficient revenues to cover our incurred expenses. Our management
recognizes that we must generate additional resources to enable us to pay our obligations as they
come due, and that we must ultimately successfully implement our business plan and achieve
profitable operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these activities.
Should any of these events not occur, our financial condition will be materially adversely
affected.
The time required for us to become profitable from operations is highly uncertain, and we cannot
assure you that we will achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate sufficient cash flow
to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements. If
required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many
factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our
business. The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on
terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain
additional financing to meet scheduled debt payments and financial covenants. If we fail to make
any required payment under the agreements and related documents governing our indebtedness or fail
to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in them, we would be in default. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities, which
may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Net Cash Used in Operations
Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was $2,363,407,
compared with net cash used in operating activities of $332,352 during the same period for 2008, an
increase in the use of cash for operating activities of $2,031,055 (611.11%). The increase in the
use of cash is due to: (i) higher operating and general and administrative expenses of $3,122,511
(153.7%), including but not limited to a decrease in revenue of $4,167,355 (205.2%), partially
offset by a decrease in cost of sales of $4,008,422 (197.4%) and (ii) also partially offset by a
net increase in components of operating assets and liabilities of $1,198,094 (58.9%).
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used provided by investing activities of $1,252,321 was generated primarily from our
restricted cash in the amount of $1,366,666, partially offset by purchases of fixed assets for
fiscal 2009. This compares with net cash used for the same activities of $4,862,410 for 2008, or an
increase of $6,114,731, or 125.8%.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net proceeds from financing activities were $471,985 for fiscal 2009, compared with $5,842,441 for
the same period in 2008, or a decrease of $5,370,456 (91.9%). Of the 2009 proceeds from financing
activities, $930,000 (197.0%) was from the issuance of a new equity financing, and $952,175
(201.7%) from the issuance of short-term loans. The decrease in the net cash provided by financing
activities is due to (i) a reduction of $1,570,000 (62.8%) from the issuance of new equity
financings, and (ii) a reduction of $13,145,280 (93.2%) for proceeds from short-term loans from
related parties. Management is seeking, and expects to continue to seek to raise additional
capital through equity or debt financings or bank borrowings, including through one or more equity
or debt financings or bank borrowings to fund its operations, repay or repurchase its debentures,
and pay amounts due to its creditors and employees. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise such additional equity or debt financing or obtain such bank
borrowings on terms satisfactory to the Company or at all.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents decreased during fiscal 2009 by $639,101 (76%). As outlined above,
the decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the current fiscal period was the result of; (i) cash
used in operating activities of $2,363,407, (ii) cash provided by investing activities of
1,252,321, and (iii) cash provided by financing activities of $471,985.

At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $8,230,751, compared with a positive
working capital at December 31, 2008 of $1,261,466, a decrease in working capital deficit of
$9,492,217 (115.3%). For Fiscal 2009, overall
current assets decreased $3,277,946, including decreases in cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, receivables, and deferred contract costs with specific increases in current liabilities of
trade payables due to a shortage in working capital and current portion of long-term debt. The
decrease in cash is the net result of our operating, investing and financing
22
activities outlined
above. Our revenue generating activities during the period, as in previous years, have not produced
sufficient funds for profitable operations, and we have incurred operating losses in 2009 and 2008.
Accordingly, we have continued to utilize the cash raised in our financing activities to fund our
operations. In addition to raising cash through additional financing activities, we have
supplemented, and expect to continue to supplement, our future working capital needs through the
extension of trade payables and increases in accrued expenses. In view of these matters,
realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our
continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financial
requirements, raise additional financing, and the success of our future operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
For a description of those estimates, see Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the
explanatory notes to our financial statements contained in this Report. On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation
allowance, and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and
on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those
for the above described items, are reasonable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from sales of converged VoIP telecommunications
equipment and professional services implementation/installation, data and wireless equipment and
installation, recurring maintenance/managed service and network service agreements and other
services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Under
the authoritative guidance, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an
arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable,
and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and
returns.
The Company primarily applies the percentage-of-completion method and generally recognizes revenue
based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs. Profits expected to be
realized on such contracts are
based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including
warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised
periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such
revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Provision for anticipated losses on
uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses become evident.
Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each elements
relative fair value, if determinable, and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition
criteria for each element are fulfilled. The Company recognizes revenue from the equipment sales
and installation services using the percentage of completion method. The services for maintaining
the systems the Company installs are sold as a stand-alone contract and treated according to the
terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. Revenue from this service is generally
recognized over the term of the subscription period or the terms of the contractual arrangements
then in effect. A majority of equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in
advance on a monthly basis based upon the fixed price, and are included both accounts receivable
and deferred income on the accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts
are deferred until the related revenue is recognized and are included in deferred contract costs on
the accompanying balance sheets. The Company also provides professional services
(maintenance/managed services) on a fixed price basis. These services are billed as bundles and or
upon completion of the services.
Stock-Based Compensation.
We adopted on January 1, 2006, the provisions of ASC 718-10, which
requires recognition of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair
value. ASC 718-10, Share-Based Payment
defines fair value-based methods of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments.
This method measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and
recognizes that cost over the service period. We also consider ASC 505-50, Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
23
Conjunction with Selling,
Goods, or Services (ASC 505-50), establishes the measurement principles for transactions in
which equity instruments are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services. We rely upon
the guidance provided under ASC 505-50 to determine the measurement date and the fair value
re-measurement principles to be applied. We recognize compensation costs, net of an estimated
forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of
each award. We consider voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option
forfeitures when estimating the forfeiture rate.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangibles.
We evaluate the carrying value of
long-lived assets for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset within the scope of ASC 360-10, Accounting of the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets may not be recoverable. Our assessment for impairment of assets
involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its
eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, and considers year-end the date
for its annual impairment testing.
In 2007 and 2008, the Company completed the acquisitions of USVD and STN. These transactions were
accounted for as a business combination. The purchase price for these assets and liabilities
assumed were allocated to acquired intangible assets (e.g., purchased contracts) and goodwill.
Impairment of Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired.
We follow the provisions of ASC
805-10, Business Combinations and ASC 350-10, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. These
statements establish financial accounting and reporting standards for acquired goodwill.
Specifically, the standards address how acquired intangible assets should be accounted for both at
the time of acquisition and after they have been recognized in the financial statements. Pursuant
to ASC 350-10, goodwill must be evaluated for impairment and is not amortized. Excess of purchase
price over net assets acquired (goodwill) represents the excess of acquisition purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets acquired. To the extent possible, a portion of the excess
purchase price is assigned to identifiable intangible assets. We determine impairment by comparing
the fair value of the goodwill, using primarily the undiscounted cash flow method, with the
carrying amount of that goodwill. Impairment is tested annually or whenever indicators of
impairment arise. Based on a net realizable value analysis as of December 31, 2009, it was
determined that the asset was fully partially impaired and we took an approximately $5.3 million
write-off for the impairment of goodwill.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other
relationships with unconsolidated entities as of December 31, 2009, and 2008.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures
(Topic 820)- Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). These standards
require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair
value measurements. The standards also require new disclosures of activities, including purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard also
clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs
and valuation techniques. These new disclosures are effective beginning with the first interim
filing in 2010. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are required for
the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The Company does not believe this standard will
impact their financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05,
Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosures (Topic 820)
(ASU 2009-05). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures Overall
, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05
provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for
the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value
using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a
liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other
inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU
2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical
liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as
an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required for
Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the
Companys results of operations or financial condition.
24
In May 2009, ASC 855, Subsequent Events (ASC 855) was issued. ASC 855 requires the Company to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that date is the
date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be
issued. ASC 855 is effective for financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted
ASC 855 beginning with their interim report dated June 30, 2009. The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through April 15, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued.
In June 2008, ASC 470-20-65, Transition Guidance for Conforming Changes to Accounting for
Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion
Ratios (ASC 470-20-65) was issued. ASC470-20-65 is effective for years ending after December 15,
2008. The overall objective of ASC 470-20-65 is to provide for consistency in application of the
accounting for convertible securities. The Company has computed and recorded a beneficial
conversion feature in connection with certain of its prior financing arrangements and does not
believe that ASC 470-20-65 has a material effect on that accounting.
In June 2008, ASC 815-40, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an
Entitys Own Stock (ASC 815-40) was issued. The objective of ASC 815-40 is to provide guidance
for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to
an entitys own stock and it applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature
that has all the characteristics of a derivative in ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, for purposes of determining whether that instrument or embedded feature
qualifies for the first part of the scope exception as noted in ASC 815. ASC 815-40 also applies to
any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entitys own stock. The
Company has determined ASC 815-40 has not materially impacted on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May 2008, ASC 470-20-25, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in
Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (ASC 470-20-25) was issued. ASC
470-20-25 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
conversion (including partial cash settlement) should separately account for the liability and
equity components in a manner that will reflect the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate
when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. ASC 470-20-25 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within
those fiscal periods; early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the
provisions of ASC 470-20-25 have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Other ASUs that have been issued or proposed by the FASB ASC that do not require adoption until a
future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company (the Certifying Officers) conducted evaluations of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the term disclosure controls and
procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure the
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including the Certifying Officers,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers determined that, as of the end of the period
covered by this Report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the Reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Although the Certifying Officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective, management continues to believe that refinement to our disclosure controls and
procedures is an ongoing progress. The Audit Committee believes the Company should continue the
following activities: (a) additional education and professional development for the Companys
accounting and other staff on new and existing applicable SEC filing requirements, certain
applicable SEC disclosure requirements, and the timing of the filing thereof, and (b) reviewing
Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K disclosure requirements, SEC staff guidance and interpretations
related thereto.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Brookside Technology Corp. (including its subsidiaries) (the Company) is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, and under the
supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing
similar functions, and effected by the Companys board of directors, management and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America. The Companys internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
26
Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer, the Companys management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) and guidance provided by SEC Staff on internal controls. Based on this
assessment, the Companys management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
We evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2009 to determine whether they were effective in ensuring that we disclose the required information
in a timely manner and in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, and the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management,
including our principal financial officer, supervised and participated in the evaluation. Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded based on their review that:
We had previously not treated the valuation of the put provision in some of our warrants properly.
We concluded that it was necessary to record a liability for derivative financial instruments
because of the put provisions inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant
agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at
estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative
guidance including EITF 00-19. In accordance with provisions of SFAS 133, the Company is required
to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants to its fair value at each balance sheet date and
recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a component of other expense or income.
Our review was concluded in November 2009 after the filing of our 10-K/A for the 2008 fiscal year
and after the filings of our 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, but
before the filing of our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. As a result of our
evaluation, we concluded that our year-end financial statements for 2008 and 2007 did require
restatement adjustments to correct for the establishment of a Derivative financial instruments at
fair value liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of $12,016,463 and $7,605,601 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the related Finance expense on derivatives of
$4,156,069 and $12,348,466 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an
addition to Amortization expense of $1,244,830 and $414,943 for the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively and Gain on change in fair value of derivative financial instruments of
$5,245,207 and 10,402,865 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively on the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following discussions regarding the matter with our
independent auditors and our audit committee, the amounts of the adjustment were deemed material
based on quantitative factors. However, in order to provide the utmost transparency with respect
to our financial statements we decided to restate voluntarily our financial results for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
In order to correct for this misstatement for future issuance of warrants, we have established an
additional more thorough review process of the warrants and the accounting treatment of such with
our third party consultant and our internal accounting staff and management. This review will
carefully examine and review the language in the warrant agreement, with a clear understanding of
the accounting ramifications of such language.
Based upon the corrective action taken, our restatement of our 2008 and 2007 financial results
through the filing of a report on Form 10-K/A, our principal executive officer, and principal
financial officer were able to conclude that our financial statements for our years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008, as included in our report on this Form 10-K, fairly present in all material
respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Brookside Technology
Holdings Corp.
In accordance with the internal control reporting requirements of the SEC, management completed an
assessment of the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control
Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
and the SECs guide entitled Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404: A Guide for Small Business. As a result
of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework and SEC guidance, management has
concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was
ineffective. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered
independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered
independent public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
27
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of year ended December 31, 2009 we identified the following significant deficiencies in our
internal controls over financial reporting:
Audit Committee composition: Our audit committee is composed of both members of the board of
directors who are also both executives of the Company. We are in the process of strengthening our
audit committee composition and expect to add at a minimum of one independent audit committee
member in 2010.
Information Technology: During 2009 we did not complete sufficient documentation and testing of our
processes and controls relating to our information technology systems. We are in the process of
completing the documentation and expect to complete the documentation and testing during 2010.
The Company is in the process of establishing a whistleblower contact as its on-going effort to
improve controls relating to compliance. We expect to have this in place in 2010.
As a result of acquisition (STN) made during 2008, we currently do not have standard processes and
internal controls which are consistent across the company for some of our critical applications. We
are in the process of establishing consistent processes and internal controls for all our
operations and expect to have consistent internal controls by end of 2010 for all our locations and
critical applications.
There were no other significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred in the last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are
currently in the process of performing a comprehensive review of our existing internal controls and
expect to make some changes to these internal controls in 2010 so that they are consistent across
all our geographic locations.

Mr. McGuire serves as the Chief Financial Officer and a director of Brookside
Technology Holdings Corp. He has over 18-years experience in executive finance specializing in
growing companies. From 2000 to 2006, Mr. McGuire was the Chief Financial Officer for Kers
WingHouse where revenue grew from $12,000,000 to $50,000,000 during his tenure. From 1997 to 2000,

CPAs.
Michael Promotico.
Mr. Promotico serves as Chief Executive Officer of Standard Tel Networks, LLC.
Mr Promotico began his 22 year career in the telecommunications business while working towards a
Bachelors Degree in Economics at San Diego State University. After just two years in the business,
Mr. Promotico was named a Principal and Executive Vice President of INet Corp., a San Diego based
Telecommunications Company. Over the next 15 years, he helped to grow that company into one of the
largest Mitel resellers in North America. Also during that time, Mr. Promotico founded Horizon
Communications, to fill the need for a reliable source for pre-owned communications equipment. He
also co-founded Technology Assurance Group, a national organization of telecommunication companies
that researches and provides to its members valuable insight into the best business practices
currently in use in the telecommunication industry. In 2000, he assisted in the successful sale of
INet to publicly traded Pac West Telecom (PACW), and subsequently served as a Vice President and
Member of the Board. Two years later, he co-founded Trans-West Network Solutions, California. In
October 2004, this company was named the 3rd Fastest Growing Privately Held Company by the San
Diego Business Journal, with more than $10 million dollars in revenue. In October, 2005, he was
instrumental in the merger with Standard Tel to form Trans-West Network Solutions, (dba Standard
Tel), and again in June, 2006 in the merger with Prologic Communications Inc. of Northern
California to form Standard Tel Networks, LLC.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among the individuals comprising our board of directors,
management and other key personnel.
Board Committees
The Board may appoint such persons and form such committees as are required to meet the corporate
governance requirements imposed by the national securities exchanges, although such requirements
currently do not apply to us. Michael Nole serves as the chairman of the Companys audit committee,
which is comprised of all members of the board of directors. Until further determination by the
Board, the full Board will undertake the duties of the compensation committee and nominating
committee.
Audit Committee
The board of directors has not established an audit committee nor adopted an audit committee
charter, rather, the entire board of directors serves the functions of an audit committee. Mr.
Michael Nole was appointed as chairman of the audit committee. In light of the prior errors in our
financial statements and the restatements thereof, management believes that an audit committee
would be desirable; however, we do not currently possess the resources required to establish an
audit committee or to offer the incentives necessary to induce independent directors who would
constitute the committee to join our Company. The board of directors cannot state with any
certainty whether management will have the necessary resource in the future to establish an
independent audit committee.
Employment Agreements
On September 23, 2008, the Company caused STN , its new subsidiary, to enter into an employment
agreement with Michael Promotico, with an initial term of three years, pursuant to which he will
serve as STNs Chief Executive Officer . The employment agreement contain standard terms and
provisions, including non-competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to
early termination and constructive termination, and provide for an annual base salary and certain
standard benefits.

Compensation of Directors
There are presently no arrangements providing for payments to directors for director or
consulting services. We expect to establish these arrangements shortly upon increased business
activities.
Code of Ethics
We have formally adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our board of directors, principal
executive officer, principal financial officer and employees. See Item 13.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation of Directors
There are presently no arrangements providing for payments to directors for director or consulting
services. We expect to establish these arrangements shortly upon increased business activities.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Until March 1, 2007, we had not paid any compensation to our executive officers in light of
Brookside Technology Holdings Corps cash position and status as a start up company. Since the
closing of the Share Exchange, we have been rounding out our management team and we have begun to
compensate our executive officers. Our board of directors reviews, modifies, and approves, as
necessary, our executive compensation policies in light of our current status as a new operating
company and working capital (deficit) positions. This review is and will be conducted with the goal
of compensating our executives so as to maximize their, as well as our, performance.
In connection with the appointments of the following executive officers, we entered into stock
option agreements with George Pacinelli and Bryan McGuire. In 2008, we cancelled and re-issued the
stock options originally issued to Bryan McGuire and George Pacinelli in 2007. Additionally, we
cancelled the options originally issued to Bryan McGuire and George Pacinelli in 2007 and re-issued
to Mr. Pacinelli an option to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise
price of $0.025 per share (the Pacinelli Options) and re-issued to Mr. McGuires an option to
purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.025 per share (the
McGuire Options) (the Pacinelli Options and the McGuire Options collectively hereinafter referred
to as the Executive Options). The Executive Options are intended to qualify as incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
were granted pursuant to our 2007 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which we have reserved 35,000,000
shares of common stock for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The Executive Options
vest as follows:

directors performing equivalent functions. Instead the entire board of directors performed the
function of compensation committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009.
Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Nature of Business
Operations
Brookside Technology Holdings Corp., (the Company), is the holding company for Brookside
Technology Partners, Inc, a Texas corporation (Brookside Technology Partners), US Voice & Data,
LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company (USVD), Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc, a California
Corporation (Acquisition Sub), Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc., (Trans-West), a California
Corporation and Standard Tel Networks, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (STN). All
operations are conducted through these (five) wholly owned subsidiaries.
Collectively, the subsidiary companies are providers of converged business communications products
and services from Mitel, Inter-tel (owned by Mitel), Nortel and NEC. The Company, as the
2
nd
largest MITEL dealer recognized as a Platinum ELITE Partner, combines technical
expertise in a range of communications products, including IP-enabled platforms, wired and wireless
IP and digital endpoints and leading edge communications applications to create converged voice,
video and data networks that help businesses increase efficiency and optimize revenue
opportunities, critical for success in todays competitive business environment. Specializing in
selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged Voice over IP (VoIP), data and wireless
business communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government organizations of
all types and sizes in the United States, the Company has offices that provide a national
footprint. Headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, STN has offices in the San Francisco Bay
Area, Sacramento, and San Diego. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Brookside Technology Partners
serves the Texas market. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, USVD serves the Kentucky and
Southern Indiana markets, operating out of offices in Louisville, Lexington and Indianapolis.
Revenues are generated from new implementations and from service, support, maintenance and from our
existing customer base.
Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (Cruisestock) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of
Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant
operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, Cruisestock acquired all of the stock of Brookside
Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside
Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of Cruisestock (the
Share Exchange). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cruisestock. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the
acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Because Brookside Technology Partners was the accounting acquirer in the Share Exchange, management
does not believe that it is informative or useful to compare Cruisestocks historical results of
operations with those of Brookside Technology Partners.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the Effective Time), Cruisestock changed its
name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated in Florida. The name change and
redomestication were accomplished by merging Cruisestock into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned
subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the Redomestication).
Acquisition of USVD
On September 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the membership interest of US Voice & Data, LLC,
an Indiana Limited Liability Company (USVD). USVD, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with
offices in Lexington, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana, is a leading regional provider of
telecommunication services, including planning, design, installation and maintenance for
converged voice and data systems.

BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Nature of Business (continued)
Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC
On September 23, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions,
Inc. (Acquisition Sub), acquired Standard Tel Networks, LLC (STN), an independent distributor
of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and services
with California offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego and headquartered in
Huntington Beach. The acquisition was conducted pursuant to a previously-disclosed Stock and
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008 (the Purchase Agreement), and was
structured as the acquisition of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc.
(Trans-West) from the shareholders of Trans-West (the Trans-West Shareholders) and (b) all of
the membership interest of STN owned by ProLogic Communication, Inc. (ProLogic and collectively
with the Trans-West Shareholders, the Seller Parties). As previously reported, Trans-West, a
holding company with no operations, own eighty percent (80%) of the membership interest of STN and
ProLogic owned the other twenty percent (20%), and, accordingly, the Company now owns (directly, in
part, and indirectly through Trans West, in other part) one hundred percent (100%) of STN.
Collectively, the forgoing transactions are referred to in this Current Report as the STN
Acquisition. Prior to the STN Acquisition, the Company did not have any relationships with the
Seller Parties.
The Companys common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under
the symbol: BKSD.
Increase in Authorized Shares
On August 4, 2008, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the
Amendment) with the Florida Department of State increasing the number of shares of common stock
that the Company has the authority to issue from two hundred and fifty million (250,000,000) shares
to one billion (1,000,000,000) shares. On November 19, 2009, shareholders representing a majority
of the Companys shares entitled to vote at a meeting executed and delivered to the Company written
consents in lieu of a meeting approving an increase in the Companys authorized shares of common
stock from one billion (1,000,000,000) shares to ten billion (10,000,000,000) shares.
Note 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of obligations in the normal course of
business.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $196,424 at December 31, 2009. Additionally,
effective August 13, 2009, the Company and its senior creditor, Chatham Credit Management III, LLC
(Chatham), further updated its letter agreement dated May 29, 2009 pursuant to which, among other
things, Chatham agreed, for the period July 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010 (Agreement
Period) to suspend the Companys compliance of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum
leverage ratio contained in the credit agreement. The Company and Chatham agreed to a temporary
minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization covenant (Modified EBITDA
Covenant) for this Agreement Period. At December 31, 2009, the Company is not in compliance with
this Modified EBITDA Covenant under this agreement. As a result, all principal due to Chatham has
been reclassified as a current liability.

BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
Additionally, effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and the Companys
largest preferred stockholder (Vicis), pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000
in the Company and the Company issued to Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Stock and
a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The warrant included a put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant
agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at
estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative
guidance. In accordance with the authoritative guidance, the Company is required to adjust the
carrying value of the above warrants to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any
change since the prior balance sheet date as a component of other expense or income. In valuing the
above warrants, the Company used the Black-Scholes model. The warrants included a redemption right,
payable in cash upon the future occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a
derivative financial instrument at fair value of $898,756 in connection with this transaction.
Additionally, effective April 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Vicis, pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $3,000,000 in the Company and the
Company issued to Vicis 3,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Stock and a warrant to purchase
300,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrant included a
put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant agreements and recorded
at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at estimated fair value on the
Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. In accordance with
the authoritative guidance, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above
warrants to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior
balance sheet date as a component of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants, the
Company used the Black-Scholes model. The warrant included a redemption right, payable in cash upon
the future occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial
instrument at fair value of $4,336,386 in connection with this transaction in April 2010.
The Company had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $1.4 million and
has an accumulated deficit of approximately $19.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2009,
the Company had net cash used in operations of approximately $2.4 million. Historically, the
Company has relied on borrowings and equity financings to maintain its operations. The Company
believes it has enough cash to operate for the coming year with its cash on hand, cash to be
generated from operations and the borrowing availability with its lenders. However, the recent
economic downturn could have a material effect on its business operations. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might
result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management is focused on managing costs in line with estimated total revenues for 2010 and beyond,
including contingencies for cost reductions if projected revenues are not fully realized. However,
there can be no assurance that anticipated revenues will be realized or that the Company will
successfully implement its plans. Additionally, the Company is in discussions with its senior and
subordinated lender regarding obtaining additional financing to execute its business plan.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and to the practices within the telecommunications industry. The following
summarizes the more significant of these policies.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, certain of which are Brookside Technology Partners, Inc., US
Voice & Data, LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company, Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc a
California Corporation, Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc, a California Corporation and Standard
Tel Networks, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers short-term investments,
purchased with a remaining maturity at purchase of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash and deposits in the cash collateral account are not considered to be cash
equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The following table shows
estimated useful lives of property and equipment:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company periodically evaluates the estimated useful lives used to depreciate its assets and the
estimated amount of assets that will be abandoned or have minimal use in the future. While the
Company believes its estimates of useful lives are reasonable, significant differences in actual
experience or significant changes in assumptions may affect future depreciation expense.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major expenditures for
additions, replacements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or fully
depreciated, the cost, reduced by the related amount of accumulated depreciation, is removed from
the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized as income or expense.
Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from customers. Cash is deposited in
demand accounts in federally insured domestic institutions to minimize risk. Accounts receivable
and unbilled receivables are generally unsecured. With respect to accounts receivable and unbilled
receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and generally does not
require collateral.
Receivables are concentrated with a small number of customers. The Company maintains reserves for
potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. The allowances for credit
losses were $126,496 and $0 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Financial Instruments
The amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued
liabilities are considered to approximate their market values based on comparable market
information available at the respective balance sheet dates and their short-term nature. The
Company believes that the notes payable fair values approximate their notional value at December
31, 2009.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised primarily of telephone systems ordered for installations, and spare parts
or common parts used in telephone system installations and are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first out) or market through the use of an inventory valuation allowance. In order to
assess the ultimate realization of inventories, the Company is required to make judgments as to
future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Allowance
requirements generally increase as the projected demand requirement decreases due to market
conditions, technological and product life cycle changes. Due to some slow moving parts in the
inventory, the Company established a valuation reserve of $133,831 and $0 for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Redeemable Securities
The authoritative guidance requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some
circumstances) certain classes of freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for
the issuer. The Company classified Series B Stock as a liability in the balance sheet and related
accretion being charged to interest expense in the statement of operations. On July 3, 2008,
pursuant to the Vicis Agreement, Vicis agreed to convert this Series B Stock to Series A Stock.
The Series A Stock is not presently redeemable and has been classified in equity in the
consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Convertible Securities With Beneficial Conversion Features
Under authoritative guidance, the Company considered the effect of a beneficial conversion feature
of the Series A Stock issued in the December 2007 private placement and subsequently issued to
Vicis during 2008. Since the redemption requirement of the Series A Stock is contingent on the
occurrence of future events, the Company is not accreting the carrying value of the Series A Stock
to redemption value and will not do so until the occurrence of any one of those future events
becomes probable.
Derivative Financial Instruments at Fair Value
. Amounts have been classified as derivative
financial instruments because of the put provisions inherent in the redemption provision included
in the Hilco and Vicis warrant agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative
financial instruments at estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in accordance with
the current authoritative guidance. In accordance with provisions of this authoritative guidance,
the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants to its fair value at
each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a component
of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants, the Company used the Black-Scholes
model.
The Companys Series A Stock is redeemable under certain conditions, including:
|
|
o
The Company effecting a merger or consolidation with another entity
|
|
|
|
o
The Company sells all or substantially all of the Companys assets
|
|
|
|
o
The Companys shareholders approve a tender or exchange offer, or
|
|
|
|
o
The Companys holders of the common stock exchange their shares for securities or cash
|
Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any one of these events, the Series A Stock will become
redeemable and the Company will accrete the carrying value of the Series A Stock to redemption
value at that time.
Warrants
In 2009, we also adopted the requirements of ASC 815
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
that revised the definition of indexed to a companys own stock for purposes of continuing
classification of derivative contracts in equity. Derivative contracts may be classified in equity
only when they are both indexed to a companys own stock and meet certain conditions for equity
classification. Under the revised definition, an instrument (or embedded feature) would be
considered indexed to an entitys own stock if its settlement amount will equal the difference
between the fair value of a fixed number of the entitys equity shares and a fixed monetary amount.
We were unable to classify 3,990,635 warrants in equity because they embodied anti-dilution
protections that did not achieve the fixed-for-fixed definition.
With the adoption of the new guidance in ASC 815-15 discussed above that revised the definition of
indexed to a companys own stock, the Company determined that warrants issued in prior years must
be reclassified from equity to a liability to conform to the new accounting standard. This
adjustment resulted in additional finance expense on derivatives of $2,886,233 to recognize the
fair value of these warrants as a liability in 2009.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Goodwill and Intangibles
The Company follows ASC 350, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in
accordance with ASC 350. ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The determination as to whether or
not goodwill or other intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of
judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the reporting
units. Changes in operating strategy and market conditions could significantly impact these
judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. The Company determines
impairment by comparing the fair value of the goodwill, using a combination of approaches including
the undiscounted cash flow method, with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Companys
assessment for impairment of assets does involve estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to
result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset, and considers year-end the date for its annual impairment testing, unless information during
the year becomes available that requires an earlier evaluation of impairment testing. Based on a
net realizable value analysis for the year ended December 31, 2009, goodwill from the acquisitions
of USVD and STN was determined to be partially impaired. Therefore, an impairment of goodwill in
the amount of $5,320,775 was recognized in 2009. The balance of goodwill at December 31, 2009 and
2008 was $11,659,254 and $16,918,396, respectively.
The Company acquired intangible assets consisting of purchased contracts and non-compete contracts.
Under ASC 350 other intangible assets acquired including purchased contracts are considered to have
a finite life. Management has estimated the useful life to be one year and amortized such costs on
a straight-line basis over this period. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization
continually to determine whether later events or circumstances require revised estimates of useful
lives. The Company prepared this analysis and concluded that these other intangible assets are not
impaired.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and
used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair market value less costs to sell.
Extinguishment of Debt
Extinguishments of debt, unless the extinguishment is a troubled debt restructuring or a conversion
by the holder pursuant to conversion privileges contained in the original debt issue, require the
difference between the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt and the reacquisition price of
the extinguished debt to be recognized currently in income of the period of extinguishment. The
reacquisition price of the extinguished debt is to be determined by the value of the common or
preferred stock issued or the value of the debtwhichever is more clearly evident.
The extinguishment of convertible debt does not change the character of the security as between
debt and equity at that time. Therefore, a difference between the cash acquisition price of the
debt and its net carrying amount shall be recognized currently in income in the period of
extinguishment as a loss or gain.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from sales of converged VoIP telecommunications
equipment and professional services implementation/installation, data and wireless equipment and
installation, recurring maintenance/managed service and network service agreements and other
services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Under
the authoritative guidance, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an
arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable,
and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and
returns.
The Company primarily applies the percentage-of-completion method and generally recognizes revenue
based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs. Profits expected to be
realized on such contracts are
based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including
warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised
periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such
revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Provision for anticipated losses on
uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses become evident.
Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the
percentage-of-completion method are accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each elements
relative fair value, if determinable, and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition
criteria for each element are fulfilled. The Company recognizes revenue from the equipment sales
and installation services using the percentage of completion method. The services for maintaining
the systems the Company installs are sold as a stand-alone contract and treated according to the
terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. Revenue from this service is generally
recognized over the term of the subscription period or the terms of the contractual arrangements
then in effect. A majority of equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in
advance on a monthly basis based upon the fixed price, and are included both accounts receivable
and deferred income on the accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts
are deferred until the related revenue is recognized and are included in deferred contract costs on
the accompanying balance sheets. The Company also provides professional services
(maintenance/managed services) on a fixed price basis. These services are billed as bundles and or
upon completion of the services.
Warranty Reserves
Reserves are provided for estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The costs of
warranty obligations are estimated based on warranty policy or applicable contractual warranty,
historical experience of known product failure rates and use of materials and service delivery
charges incurred in correcting product failures. Specific warranty accruals may be made if
unforeseen technical problems arise. If actual experience, relative to these factors, adversely
differs from these estimates, additional warranty expense may be required. At December 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company has accrued $154,440 and $231,906, respectively. The Companys warranty accrual
takes into account the telecommunications equipment covered by original equipment manufacturer
warranties. Prior to December 31, 2008, warranty costs not covered by the original equipment
manufacturer warranty were not considered material to the financial statements
Advertising
The Company recognizes advertising expenses as incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation.

Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in
the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred assets when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the
benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax
assets depends on the Companys ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Accordingly,
establishment of the valuation allowance requires the Companys management to use estimates and
make assumptions regarding significant future events.
The Company evaluates its tax positions under the authoritative guidance. Accordingly, the
Companys management first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will
be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Any tax position that
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit
to recognize in the financial statements. Each identified tax position is measured at the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. No
such tax positions were identified during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company
files tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that options,
warrants and other instruments convertible into common stock are included in the calculation of
diluted net income (loss) per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For
instruments in which consideration is to be received for exercise, such as options or warrants,
dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants
are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of actual issuance, if
later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market
price during the period. Cumulative dividends on the Companys cumulative convertible preferred
stock, although not declared, constitute a preferential claim against future dividends, if any, and
are treated as an incremental decrease in net income from continuing operations or increase in net
loss from continuing operations for purposes of determining basic and diluted net income
(loss) from continuing operations per common share.
At December 31, 2009, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of Series A
Stock, warrants, and stock options issued to employees. At December 31, 2009, the number of
potentially dilutive shares consisted of 21,200,000 stock option shares, 13,106,716 Series A Stock
(exercisable into 1,310,671,600 common shares), and 1,303,281,724 common shares purchase warrants.
At December 31, 2008, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of Series A
Stock, convertible debt, warrants, and stock options issued to employees of 19,200,000. On November
19, 2009, shareholders representing a majority of the Companys shares entitled to vote at a
meeting executed and delivered to the Company written consents in lieu of a meeting approving an
increase in the Companys authorized shares of Common Stock from 1,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Convertible Instruments
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity securities for indications requiring
bifurcation, and separate accounting, for the embedded conversion feature. Guidelines of ASC
815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Companys Own Stock, public companies that are required, or that could be required, to deliver
shares of common stock as part of a physical settlement or a net-share settlement, under a
freestanding financial instrument, are required to initially measure the contract at fair value (or
allocate on a fair value basis if issued as part of a debt financing), and report the value in
permanent equity. However, in certain circumstances (e.g. the company could not ascertain whether
sufficient authorized shares exist to settle the contract), permanent equity classification should
be reassessed. The classification of the contract as permanent equity should be reassessed at each
balance sheet date and, if necessary, reclassified as a liability on the date of the event causing
the reclassification. If a reclassification occurs from permanent equity to a liability, the fair
value of the financial instrument should be removed from permanent equity as an adjustment to
stockholders equity. Any portion of the contract that could be net-share settled as of the
balance sheet date would remain classified in permanent equity. Subsequent to the initial
reclassification event, changes in fair value of the instrument are charged to expense until the
conditions giving rise to the reclassification are resolved. When a company has more than one
contract subject to reclassification, it must determine a method of reclassification that is
systematic, rational, and consistently applied. The Company adopted a reclassification policy that
reclassifies contracts with the latest inception date first. The warrants issued inconjunction with
the financings had reset provisions which required liability classification and the the increase or
decrease in the fair value of the warrants is charged or credited to interest expense. To the
extent the equity instruments relate to other transactions (e.g. consulting expense), the increases
or decreases are charged or credited based on the nature of the transaction.
Derivatives
A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from an underlying instrument or index such
as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar
characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (embedded
derivatives) and for hedging activities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not invest in
separable financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, complex transactions
that the Company entered into in order to finance its operations and acquisitions, and the
subsequent restructuring of such debt transactions, involved financial instruments containing
certain features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives or containing
embedded derivatives. The Company may engage in other similar complex equity or debt transactions
in the future, but not with the intention to enter into derivative instruments. Derivatives and
embedded derivatives, if applicable, are measured at fair value and marked to market through
earnings, as required by the authoritative guidance. However, such new and/or complex instruments
may have immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation often
incorporate significant estimates and assumptions, which may impact the level of precision in the
financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718-10 Share-Based Payment, which requires recognition
of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments based on fair value. ASC 718-10,
defines fair value-based methods of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments,
which measures compensation costs based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes
that cost over the service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). ASC 505-50,
Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods, or Services (ASC 505-50), establishes the measurement
principles for transactions in which equity instruments are issued in exchange for the receipt of
goods or services. The Company has relied upon the guidance provided under ASC 505-50 to determine
the measurement date and the fair value re-measurement principles to be applied. The Company
recognizes compensation costs, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, on a pro rata basis over the
requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option valuation model in estimating the fair value of options or warrants.
The Company recorded $77,733 and $165,237 for stock compensation cost for the years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2009, the Codification was released, changing the way accounting standards are organized
from a standards-based model (with thousands of individual standards) to a topically based model
(with roughly 90 topics). The 90 topics are organized by ASC number and are updated with an
Accounting Standards Update (ASU). The ASU will replace accounting changes that historically were
issued as FASB Statements, FASB Interpretations, FASB Staff Positions, or other types of FASB
standards. The FASB considers the ASU an update to the Codification but not as authoritative in its
own right. The Codification serves as the single source of nongovernmental authoritative U.S. GAAP
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, all accounting
references included in this report are provided in accordance with the Codification.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-6, effective for reporting periods ending after
September 15, 2009, to provide implementation guidance to ASC 740 on accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes and related disclosures for nonpublic entities. The adoption of the guidance and
disclosures in ASU 2009-6 did not have a material impact on the Companys income tax disclosure and
consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-5, effective for reporting periods beginning after
October 1, 2009, to revise ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the fair value
measurement of liabilities when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is
not available. The adoption of the guidance in ASU 2009-5 did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB amended ASC 855, Subsequent Events, effective for reporting periods ending
after June 15, 2009, to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events
that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB amended ASC 820, effective for reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009, to provide guidance on (i) estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and (ii) identifying
whether a transaction is distressed or forced. The adoption of the amendment did not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB amended ASC 320, effective for reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009, to provide guidance on measuring other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities and
improving the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity
securities in financial statements. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
F-16
BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In April 2009, the FASB amended ASC 825, Financial Instruments, effective for reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009, requiring companies to provide qualitative and quantitative information
about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at
fair value in interim and annual financial statements. The adoption of the amendment did not have a
material impact on the Companys disclosures about the fair values of financial instruments.
In March 2008, the FASB amended ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, effective for statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, to expand the disclosure
requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The adoption of the amendment on
January 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Companys disclosures about derivative
instruments and hedging activities.
In February 2008, the FASB amended ASC 820 to delay the effective date of fair value measurements
for non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The
adoption of fair value measurements for non-financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009 did
not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB amended ASC 810 relating to noncontrolling interests, effective for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, to improve the relevance,
comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in
its consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the amendment on January 1, 2009 did not
have a material impact on the Companys financial statements; however, it impacted the presentation
and disclosure of noncontrolling interest on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 to improve disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASU 2010-6 clarifies certain existing disclosures and requires new disclosure regarding significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of fair value measurements and the reasons for the
transfer. The amendments in ASU 2010-06 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal periods. The Company believes that
ASU 2010-6 will not have a material impact on its fair value measurements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 to amend ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The
amendments in this update change the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both
tangible products and software elements. The amendments in ASU 2009-14 will be effective for us
beginning January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact these amendments will have on its consolidated financial statements when they become
effective.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 amending ASC 605 related to revenue arrangements with
multiple deliverables. Among other things, ASU 2009-13 provides guidance for entities in
determining the selling price of a deliverable and clarifies that the allocation of revenue is
based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a marketplace participant. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2009-13 will have on its consolidated financial
statements when it becomes effective on January 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.
In June 2009 and December 2009, the FASB amended ASC 810 changing certain consolidation guidance
and requiring improved financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities
(VIE). The amendments provide guidance in determining when a reporting entity should include the
assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated
financial statements. The amendments to ASC 810 are effective for the first annual reporting period
that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period,
and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact these revisions will have on its consolidated financial statements for future reporting.
Other ASUs that have been issued or proposed by the FASB ASC that do not require adoption
until a future date and are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption.

10% and maturing on April 15, 2010; and (iii) converted the balance of the Vicis Debt (assumed from
Hilco and DD), including all accrued interest of $676,384, in the combined aggregate amount of
$5,026,384, into 5,026,384 shares of the Companys Series A Stock. Vicis entered into a

Note 6 Long Term Debt (continued)
The Company concluded that the cash and the Series A Stock exchanged for equal amounts of debt
would result in no gain or loss on the extinguishment. The Company determined that the remaining
$1,500,000 of debt at 15% per annum market rate had a fair value of $151,619 less than the new debt
of $1,500,000 at 10% per annum actual rate due to the difference in interest rates. Therefore, the
Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of $151,619. The Company determined that the new
debt should be carried at its appropriate fair value and the difference to the old debts carrying
value at exchange is a gain or loss on extinguishment.

Long-term Debt Acquisition of STN
Concurrently with the closing of the STN Acquisition, the Company and its five subsidiaries (U.S.
Voice and Data, LLC, Brookside Technology Partners, Inc., Acquisition Sub, Trans-West and STN
(hereinafter, the Company and its five subsidiaries collectively are referred to as the
Borrowers) entered into a Credit Agreement (the Chatham Credit Agreement) with Chatham
Investment Fund III, LLC, Chatham Investment Fund III QP, LLC and Chatham Credit Management III,
LLC (Chatham), pursuant to which Chatham agreed to provide a $7,000,000 term loan and a
$2,000,000 revolving line of credit (collectively the Loans). The Loans are evidenced by a Term
Note and a Revolving Note. As a condition precedent to the extension of the Loans: (a) the
Borrowers entered into a Pledge Agreement, dated September 23, 2008, pursuant to which the
Borrowers pledged the stock of each subsidiary owned by it as collateral to secure payment of the
Loans; (b) the Borrowers granted to Chatham a Warrant to purchase an aggregated of 140,930,835
shares of Borrowers Common Stock (Chatham Warrants); and (c) the Borrowers entered into a
Warrant Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 23, 2008, pursuant to which,
among other things, the Borrowers agreed to register the resale of the shares underlying the
Chatham Warrants upon demand by Chatham. The Loans have a term of three years and bear interest, at
the following rates: (i) with respect to the Revolving Note, LIBOR plus 4.00% per annum, and (ii)
with respect to the Term Loan, LIBOR Rate plus 9.00% per annum. Additionally, the Chatham Credit
Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants that require the Borrowers,
on a consolidated basis, to maintain at the end of each month: (1) a fixed charge coverage ratio
for the 12 months then ended of at least 1.75:1; and (2) a leverage ratio as of the last day of
such fiscal month and for the 12 months then ended of not more than 3:1, in each case calculated as
set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Borrowers have not been in compliance with either ratio
since December 31, 2008. In December 2009, Chatham placed the Company in default. As such, the
Company reclassified the Chatham debt as current at December 31, 2009. Prior to the closing of the
Chatham Financing, the Borrowers did not have any relationship with Chatham. In April 2010,
Chatham waived all exiting defaults and agreed to suspend compliance with the minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio (see Note 21).

Litigation
As previously disclosed, in 2007, the Company purchased USVD from the Michael P. Fischer
Irrevocable Delaware Trust and the M. Scott Diamond Irrevocable Delaware Trust (the USVD Sellers)
pursuant to a Membership Purchase Agreement between the Company and the USVD Sellers, dated
September 26, 2007 (the USVD Agreement). The original purchase price was $15,429,242. As of
September 30, 2009, the Company has paid to the USVD Sellers a total of $14,533,690, representing
94% of all sums payable under the USVD Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the acquisition of USVD, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond were provided
employment agreements, pursuant to which they held the positions of CEO and COO, respectively at
USVD. The employee agreements provided Messrs. Fischer and Diamond with annual base salaries of
$105,000 and $145,000, respectively. As a result, until recently, the Company relied on Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond to continue to operate USVD.
However, on May 12, 2009, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond notified the Company that they considered
their employment to be constructively terminated as a result of the Company having failed to pay
them, collectively, an EBITDA earn-out payment of approximately $289,000 they claim they were due
on April 30, 2009. Since such time, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond have not shown up to work and they
have ceased performing any employment duties.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
As discussed further under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis, USVDs revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while under the direction of Messrs. Fischer & Diamond,
were approximately $2,700,000 lower than its revenues in the same period in 2008. This decrease
adversely impacted the Companys liquidity and subsequently the Companys largest equity investor,
Vicis, provided an additional capital infusion. Also, the Company and its primary lender, Chatham,
have made modifications to the Companys credit facility.
Fortunately, USVDs first quarter decreased earnings were offset by increased earnings provided by
STN, as well as increased earnings at USVD in the months subsequent to the departure of Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond under the direction of Brookside Technology Holdings Corps management and
other existing USVD and STN senior managers, discussed further under Business and Managements
Discussion and Analysis. However, while the Company may have this offset from these combined
earnings, Messrs. Fischers and Diamonds earn-outs were to be based solely on USVDs EBITDA. Given
USVDs performance under Messrs. Fischers and Diamonds stewardship prior to May 12, 2009, it is
presently unclear whether they would have earned any future earn-out payments subsequent to their
alleged constructive terminations.
In addition to their alleged constructive termination, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond claim that their
Restrictive Covenant Agreement entered into as part of their Employment Agreements signed with the
Company at the time of the USVD acquisition are now null and void and that, accordingly, they are
free to compete with the Company and USVD, and to solicit USVD employees. Subsequent to the
departures of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, on May 26, 2009, several USVD employees, mostly sales
personnel, entered the USVD premises unescorted and removed Company and personal belongings in
connection with their resignations from USVD and their new employment with a new company, which the
Company believes is owned by Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and/or some of their family members,
either directly or indirectly.
In response to the actions of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and certain former USVD employees, the
Company has worked diligently to secure USVD and its assets, employees, vendors, partners and
customers. USVDs employees, vendors, partners and customers have reconfirmed their support and
loyalty to USVD, despite the fact that many of them have been solicited by Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond and certain former USVD employees.
On July 17, 2009, the USVD Sellers filed a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County,
Kentucky, alleging that the Company breached the USVD Agreement by failing to pay the previously
mentioned $289,000 EBITDA earn-out payment they claim they was due on April 30, 2009, in addition
to $1,750,000 of other future payments they claim they are entitled to accelerate as a result of
such alleged breach. The lawsuit calls for an acceleration of all money owed to the USVD Sellers
including: the $850,000 Seller Note, the $289,000 accrued EBITDA earn-out and an additional
$900,000 in Minimum Cash Payments (as defined by the employment agreements of Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond) in connection with future estimations of earn-outs yet to be earned. The Company has a
note payable USVD Sellers included in its long-term debt of $850,000, as well as an accrual for
the $289,000 accrued 2008 earn-out payment that the USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond,
claim is due to them.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
On October 8, 2009 filed an answer and counter-claim to the USVD Sellers civil action discussed
above. This answer and counter-claim outlines, among other things, the Companys arguments for
defense as well as the Companys claims of breaches of fiduciary duty and other common law,
contractual, quasi-contractual, and statutory claims against former employees of USVD. During their
periods of employment, various employees of USVD who are now employees of a competitor, engaged in
a variety of acts and omissions in breach of their legal duties to USVD and Brookside, including
but not limited to (1) failure of the CEO and COO to fulfill their contractual duties under their
Employment Agreements; (2) acts by these and other employees with fiduciary duties to act in the
best interests of the company as opposed to their individual self-interests or the interests of
third parties, in company matters; (3) destruction and/or seizure of proprietary documents and
information belonging to USVD for the benefit of a competitor; and (4) failure by sales personnel
to reimburse USVD for funds advanced on sales on behalf of USVD which were not consummated prior to
their departures. The Company is continuing to analyze the forgoing civil action and continues to
aggressively investigate the actions undertaken by of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, as well as the
former USVD employees, both before and after their resignations. The litigation is in its early
stages, and it is premature to project its outcome. The Company continues to vigorously defend the
Circuit Court action and to pursue all available defenses, claims and counter claims against the
USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, and certain former USVD employees.
Risk Management
The Company maintains various forms of insurance that the Companys management believes are
adequate to reduce the exposure to property and general liability risks to an acceptable level.
Note 8 Concentrations
Revenues are concentrated in the telecommunications industry, which is highly competitive and
rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or
the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect
operating results. The Company is also dependent on a limited number of suppliers for
telecommunications equipment.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 sales and net receivables (receivables billed,
plus unbilled receivables, less billings in excess of revenues) by customers with more than 10% of
revenue or the total of accounts and unbilled receivables balances were as follows:

The Company has notes payable to officers and shareholders of the Company. The balance of these
notes payable was $964,927 and $1,732,305 at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Note 10 Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001
per share. The Companys preferred stock may be divided into such series as may be established by
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of the shares of any series established.
The conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to
adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by the Company of securities with a lower
conversion or exercise price, which occurred as part of the USVD financings and STN financings and
acquisition. The Series A Stock has voting rights equivalent to the 1,310,671,600 shares of common
stock into which it can convert. The Series A stockholders also must approve any change to the
Companys Articles of Incorporation.
On July 3, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Vicis Agreement)
with Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust (Vicis),
pursuant to which Vicis acquired (a) 2,500,000 shares of Series A Stock; and (b) a warrant (the
Warrant) to purchase 250,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.03 per share (the
Exercise Price), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (Vicis Equity Infusion). The
warrant included a put provision inherent in the redemption provision included in the warrant
agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability for Derivative financial instruments at
estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative
guidance. The Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants to its fair
value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet date as a
component of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants the company used the
Black-Scholes model. The warrant included a redemption right, payable in cash upon the future
occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial instrument
at fair value of $2,162,879 in connection with this transaction.

BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 10 Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)
Effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis Capital
Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and the Companys largest preferred
stockholder (Vicis), pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000 in the Company and
the Company issued to Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Stock and a warrant to
purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Pursuant to
this event, all the outstanding warrants have been re-priced to $0.01 and all conversion prices on
the Series A Stock have been reduced to $0.01. The warrant included a put provision inherent in
the redemption provision included in the warrant agreements and recorded at issuance as a liability
for Derivative financial instruments at estimated fair value on the Companys balance sheet in
accordance with the current authoritative guidance. In accordance with provisions of the
authoritative guidance, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value of the above warrants
to its fair value at each balance sheet date and recognize any change since the prior balance sheet
date as a component of other expense or income. In valuing the above warrants the Company used the
Black-Scholes model. The warrant included a redemption right, payable in cash upon the future
occurrence of a change in control. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial instrument
at fair value of $898,756 in connection with this transaction.
Pursuant to the Vicis Agreement, all the outstanding warrants have been re-priced to $0.01 and all
conversion prices on the Series A Stock have been reduced to $0.01.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of the shares of Series A Stock shall be paid, before any payment shall be
paid to the holders of common stock, or any other stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Series
A Stock, an amount for each share of Series A Stock held by such holder equal to the sum of (1) the
Stated Value thereof and (2) an amount equal to dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, computed to
the date payment thereof is made available.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, certain Series A stockholders converted 110,000 shares of
Series A Stock to 11,653,750 shares of the Companys common stock. During the year ended December
31, 2008, certain Series A stockholders converted 484,990 shares of Series A Stock to 11,484,939
shares of the Companys common stock.
The Company evaluated the issuance of the $5,500,000 ($2,500,000 in cash and $3,000,000 in
principal on the Series B Stock) for the 5,500,000 shares of Series A Stock and 250,000,0000
warrants to purchase common stock and assigned the values to the Series A Stock and the warrants
based on the relative fair values. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation
model, 0.0% dividend yield, a risk free rate of return of 4.21%, volatility of 181.04% and a five
year term. The Company considered the effect of a beneficial conversion feature of the Series A
shares issued and the conversion of the Series B Stock to Series A Stock. The Company has
attributed no beneficial conversion feature to the Series A Stock because the fair value of the
warrants issued were recorded as a derivative liability. The carrying value of the Series A Stock
was reduced to zero. Since the redemption requirement of the Series A Stock is contingent on the
occurrence of future events, the Company is not accreting the carrying value of the Series A Stock
to redemption value and will not do so until the occurrence of any one of those future events
becomes probable.
Additionally, Vicis purchased and assumed from Hilco, the Companys prior senior lender, and from
DD, the Companys prior mezzanine lender, all their credit agreements, loans and promissory notes
under which Hilco and DD had loaned to the Company representing an aggregate of $8,100,000 (Vicis
Debt). In connection with the closing of the STN Acquisition and the Chatham Financing, Vicis and
the Company entered into, and closed upon, a Securities Purchase and Loan Conversion Agreement,
dated September 23, 2008, pursuant to which the Company, in full satisfaction of the Vicis Debt:
(i) paid $2,250,000 in cash to Vicis; (ii) delivered to Vicis a subordinated note in the principal
amount of $1,500,000, bearing interest at 10% and maturing on April 15, 2010; and (iii) converted
the balance of the Vicis Debt (assumed from Hilco and DD), including all accrued interest of
$676,384, in the combined aggregate amount of $5,026,384, into 5,026,384 shares of the Companys Series A Stock.
Vicis entered into a subordination agreement with Chatham, wherein Vicis agreed to subordinate the
Vicis Subordinated Note to the Loans. As a result, all Prior Credit Documents have been terminated
effective September 23, 2008.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 11 Income Taxes
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in
the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred assets when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the
benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax
assets depends on the Companys ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Accordingly,
establishment of the valuation allowance requires the Companys management to use estimates and
make assumptions regarding significant future events.
The Company evaluates its tax positions under the authoritative guidance. Accordingly, the
Companys management first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will
be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Any tax position that
meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit
to recognize in the financial statements. Each identified tax position is measured at the largest
amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. No
such tax positions were identified during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 consists of the

carryforwards totaling approximately $8.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. These federal
and state net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2029 and 2028. The Company files a U. S.
federal income tax return and income tax returns in various state and local tax jurisdictions. The
Company reduces its jurisdictional tax liabilities to the extent net operating loss carryforwards
are available. Where state or local tax jurisdiction net operating loss carryforwards are not
available or are limited, the Company pays income taxes. Tax returns for all years are subject to
future examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Note 14 Employee Benefit Plan
USVD, the Companys subsidiary, has a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the Plan) and other employee
health and benefit plans. The Plan allows all eligible employees to defer a portion of their income
on a pretax basis through contributions to the Plan.
The Company has made 401(k) matching contributions of $76,443 and $142,783 for the years December
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The Company provides group health and other benefits to its employees through plans that cover all
employees that elect to be covered. The Companys share of group health care costs was

Note 15 Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC
On September 23, 2008, the Company, through its Acquisition Sub, acquired STN, an independent
distributor of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and
services with California offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego and
headquartered in Huntington Beach. The acquisition was conducted pursuant to a previously-disclosed
Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008 (the Purchase Agreement),
and was structured as the acquisition of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc.
(Trans-West) from the shareholders of Trans-West (the Trans-West Shareholders) and (b) all of
the membership interest of STN owned by ProLogic Communication, Inc. (ProLogic and collectively
with the Trans-West Shareholders, the Seller Parties). As previously reported, Trans-West, a
holding company with no operations, owns eighty percent (80%) of the membership interest of STN and
ProLogic owned the other twenty percent (20%), and, accordingly, the Company now owns (directly, in
part, and indirectly through Trans West, in other part) one hundred percent (100%) of STN.
Collectively, the forgoing transactions are referred to in this Current Report as the STN
Acquisition. Prior to the STN Acquisition, the Company did not have any relationships with the
Seller Parties.
At the closing of the STN Acquisition, the Company issued to the Seller Parties 40,843,376 shares
of the Companys common stock and paid to the Seller Parties $3,209,263 in cash. However, pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, one-half of such shares are being held in escrow subject to certain
post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations. On January 8, 2009, the
Company and the Seller Parties completed the analysis of post closing adjustments. This resulted
in a cash reduction of the purchase price of $247,059. As a result of the decrease in purchase
price, the resulting goodwill has been adjusted down by the cash portion of this amount. The stock
portion will be analyzed further subject to additional purchase price adjustments and
indemnification obligations due September 23, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 15 Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC (continued)
In connection with the STN acquisition, the Company entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements
with the Seller Parties, pursuant to which the Seller Parties, subject to certain limited
exceptions, agree not to use or disclose confidential information belonging to the Company or STN
and not to compete with the Company nor to solicit its customers or employees. Additionally, the
Company caused STN to enter into an Employment Agreement with Michael Promotico, with an initial
term of three years, pursuant to which he will serve as STNs Chief Executive Officer (the
Employment Agreement). The Employment Agreement contains standard terms and provisions, including
non-competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to early termination and
constructive termination, and provides for an annual base salary, performance incentives, certain
standard benefits and stock options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
shares on the closing date.
A summary of the acquisition is as follows:
The Acquisition of STN was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting that requires that
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their
respective fair market value. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair values assigned
to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially
impact net income. Additional adjustments may be made to the purchase price based on EBITDA and net
assets estimated at the time of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition.
An initial preliminary allocation has been made to intangible assets as of the December 31, 2008.
Management will determine the proper value of intangible assets acquired from STN and allocate any
additional adjustments of the goodwill to intangible assets within the twelve months after the
acquisition date.
Operating results from the acquired business is included in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations from the date of acquisition. A summary of the purchase price allocation is as

Amortization expense for 2009 related to these intangible assets was $731,710 and $645,822 for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization expense is included in
amortization expense of loan discount and intangibles in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations.
Goodwill
The Company performed several tests as to the potential impairment to the current carrying value of
goodwill. Management considered an analysis based on discounted cash flow to be the most
applicable. This analysis was based on projected cash flows for the years ended 2010 through 2013,
with a residual value of 4.5 times the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA). This multiple approximates the actual negotiated average purchase price
of STN and USVD by the Company, negotiated at arms-length. In order to achieve these future cash
flows, the Company added an assumption for an initial investment of $1,000,000 in 2010.
Based on these assumptions, the Company calculated the value of goodwill to be $11,659,254. Since
the carrying value of goodwill was $16,980,029, an adjustment for impairment of long-lived assets
of $5,320,775 was made at December 31, 2009.

of the Companys common stock, interest rates, and the probability of redemption or a future
dilutive financing transaction among other items. The recorded value of the derivative financial
instrument can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the fair value of the Companys
common stock, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation
and the term remaining for exercise of these warrants. The fluctuation in estimated fair value may
be significant from period to period which in turn may have a significant impact on reported
financial condition and results of operations.
