INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This Report on Form 10-Q for Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (we, us, or the Company) may
contain forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words
such as may, will, expect, intend, anticipate, believe, estimate, and continue or
similar words. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed
future business success or financial results. You should read statements that contain these words
very carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of
future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. We
believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors. However, there may
be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Accordingly, we do
not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new
information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties including those set forth under Risk Factors in our Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and any
other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, to the
extent that this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial
condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of the Company, please be
advised that the Companys actual financial condition, operating results and business performance
may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in its forward-looking
statements.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Brookside Technology
Holdings Corp., a Florida corporation (the Company), have been prepared in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The financial statements
and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Companys Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and
which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010
and December 31, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarters ended March
31, 2010 and 2009. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Nature of Business (continued)
Redomestication
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.
US Voice & Data, LLC
The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, 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.
Standard Tel Networks, LLC
In 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
headquartered in Huntington Beach, CA, and having other California offices in Sacramento and San
Diego. In this acquisition, the Company also acquired a 100% interest in Trans-West Network
Solutions, Inc.
Note 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources
These unaudited condensed 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 generated significant net losses in the prior three fiscal years.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $95,090 at March 31, 2010. Additionally, effective
April 12, 2010, Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and
the Companys largest preferred shareholder (Vicis), invested an additional $3 million in equity
and converted its subordinated promissory note, in the original principal amount of $1.5 million
plus accrued interest of $237,083, into 4,737,083 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock of
the Company and a warrant to purchase 473,708,300 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share. The warrant includes a redemption right, payable in cash upon the future
occurrence of a change in control. The warrant also includes a put provision inherent in the
redemption provision; therefore, the warrant is 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. As such, the Company recorded a derivative financial
instrument at fair value of $4,336,103 in connection with this transaction in April 2010.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
Additionally, the Company entered into a loan amendment with its senior lender, Chatham Credit
Management III LLC, the Companys senior lender (Chatham Capital), which restructured the
Companys senior credit facility to, among other things, waive of all prior defaults, extend the
term of the senior loan to September 23, 2012, and eliminate and/or modified certain financial
covenants.
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of approximately $1.3
million and $650,000, respectively, and has a retained deficit of approximately $24.3 million as of
March 31, 2010. The current period net loss was primarily the result of the decrease in revenues
of $1.3 million in the first quarter ending March 31, 2010 versus the comparable period in 2009.
This decrease is due primarily to the uncertainty in the market due to the poor economy. For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had net cash used in operations of approximately
$229,000. Historically, the Company has relied on borrowings and equity financings to maintain its
operations. With the additional $3 million equity
investment on April 12, 2010, 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, if the recent economic downturn continues then it could have a material
effect on its business operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 the balance of
fiscal 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.
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. There have been no
significant changes in the Companys significant accounting policies during the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes its estimates
of allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, deferred taxes, and the fair value of stock
options and warrants, as further discussed below, to be the most sensitive estimates impacting
financial position and results of operations.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 March 31,
2010.
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 Series A Stock is not presently redeemable and has been classified in equity in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Warrants
In 2009, the Company 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.
The Company was unable to classify 3,990,635 warrants in equity because they embodied anti-dilution
protections that did not achieve the fixed-for-fixed definition.
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 net present value of discounted cash flow method, with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
The Companys impairment assessment involves estimating the future cash flows of its intangible
assets including its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount
by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The Company conducts
impairment testing annually, unless information during the year becomes available that requires an
earlier evaluation of impairment. 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $11,659,254. The Company
determined that no additional impairment of goodwill exists at March 31, 2010.
The Company acquired other intangible assets from the acquisitions of USVD and STN 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 concluded that its other
intangible assets were not impaired and all of the other intangible assets were fully amortized as
of December 31, 2009.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 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 periods ended March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
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 March 31, 2010, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of Series A
Stock, warrants, and stock options issued to employees. At March 31, 2010, the number of
potentially dilutive shares consisted of 31,760,000 stock option shares, 13,106,716 Series A Stock
(exercisable into 1,310,671,600 common shares), and 1,124,975,474 common shares purchase warrants.
At December 31, 2009, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of Series A
Stock, convertible debt, warrants, and stock options issued to employees of 1,303,281,724.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measures
Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company adopted revised accounting guidance for the
fair value measurement and disclosure of its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17 which establishes authoritative guidance permitting
use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development arrangements that
contain payment provisions or consideration contingent on the achievement of specified events. This
guidance is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010
and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted.
Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the
Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 to improve disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASU 2010-06 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 2010-06 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements when it becomes effective on January 1, 2011. Early adoption is
permitted.

Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
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.
USVDs revenues until May 12, 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 to meet working capital needs. Also, the Company and
its primary lender, Chatham, have made modifications to the Companys credit facility as a result
of decreased revenues.
However, 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.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
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.
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 Related Party Transactions
The Company has notes payable to officers and shareholders of the Company. The balance of these
notes payable was $964,927 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. These notes consist of (i) a

Note 9 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.
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.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 9 Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)
In June 2009, the Company evaluated the issuance of 5,500,000 shares of Series A Stock for
$5,500,000 ($2,500,000 in cash and $3,000,000 in reclassification of principal on the Series B
Stock to 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.

Valuation Assumptions
The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on past turnover data. The rate used in the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was minimal. Forfeiture rate is the estimated
percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or cancelled on an annual basis
before becoming fully vested.
The assumptions used for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the resulting
estimates of weighted-average fair value per share of options granted and shares purchased
during these periods were as follows:

In estimating the expected term, the Company used ten years. The annual risk free rate of return
was based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates with similar terms to the expected term
of the stock option awards. The Company based the determination of expected volatility on the
Companys historical stock price volatility over the expected term.

Note 15 Derivative Financial Instruments at Fair Value (continued)
The above amounts have been classified as 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, whereby 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. Changes
in warrant liabilities for 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

The determination of fair value includes significant estimates by management including volatility
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.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 16 Segment Information
The Company conducts business nationally and is primarily managed on a geographic basis through its
two primary wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Companys management makes financial decisions and
allocates resources based on the information it receives from its internal management system. Sales
are attributed to either STN, USVD or BTP based on the order placement.
Based on the Companys organization, the Company operates in three business segments: STN, USVD and
BTP/BKSD. STN is headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, and has offices in Sacramento and
San Diego. USVD is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and serves the Kentucky and Southern
Indiana markets, operating out of offices in Louisville, Lexington and Indianapolis. BTP is located
in Austin, Texas and BKSD, the Companys corporate office, is headquartered in Clearwater, Florida.
The Companys chief operating decision makers utilize both revenue and income (loss) before income
taxes, in assessing performance and making overall operating decisions and resource allocations.
The BTP/BKSD segment represents corporate selling, general and administrative expenses and interest
expense for the Company, as well as the results of operations for BTP, Inc. The Company does not
allocate general corporate sales and marketing, or general and administrative expenses to USVD and
STN in this internal management system because management does not include the information in its
measurement of the performance of the operating segments. In addition, the Company does not
allocate amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, share-based compensation expense,
and certain other items to the net income (loss) for USVD and STN because management does not
include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies (Note 3). Information about the Companys segments is as
follows (in thousands):

General
DESCRIPTION OF BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.S BUSINESS
Operations
Brookside Technology Holdings Corp., (the Company) is the holding company for Brookside

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).
Our common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol:
BKSD.
28
Acquisition of USVD
On September 26, 2007, we 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 our shares entitled to vote at a
meeting executed and delivered to us written consents in lieu of a meeting approving an increase in
our 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, we 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 our common stock 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 our
balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative guidance. We are 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, we 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, we 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 us. We
consented to such assignments. In connection with such assignments, Hilco transferred to Vicis its
warrants to purchase 61,273,835 shares of our common stock. In addition, Vicis purchased and
assumed from Dynamic Decisions (DD), and DD assigned to Vicis, all credit, loans and promissory
notes under which DD had loaned money to us. We consented to such assignments.
All Warrants and Series A Stock 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 our 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, we now own (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, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis, pursuant to
which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000 in the Company and we issued to Vicis 1,000,000
shares of our 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 our balance sheet in
accordance with the current authoritative guidance. We are 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,
we 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, we recorded a derivative financial instrument
at fair value of $898,756 in connection with this transaction.
Additionally, effective April 12, 2010, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis,
pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $3,000,000 in the Company and we issued to Vicis
3,000,000 shares of our 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 our balance sheet in accordance with
the current authoritative guidance. We are 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, we
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, we recorded a derivative financial instrument
at fair value of $4,336,103 in connection with this transaction in April 2010.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should
be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated 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.
Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Margins
Total revenues from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $3,672,075 compared
to $5,001,299 reported for the same period in 2009, a decrease of `$1,329,224 or 26.6%. This
decrease in revenues is primarily due to the decreased sales activity experienced in all of our
subsidiary entities in 2010 versus the comparable period in 2009. This is due primarily due to
general market and economic conditions being unfavorable in 2010.
Cost of sales was $1,560,663 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,276,180
reported for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $715,517 or 31.4%. 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 42.6% and 45.5% for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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 $2,111,412 or 57.5% as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March
31, 2010 compared to $2,725,119 or 54.4% as a percentage of revenue reported for the same period in
2009. The increase in the gross margin as a
percentage of revenue is due primarily to our multi-faceted and differentiated approach,
Teleficiency, a universal focus on higher margin, approach specific, value added business and
technology solutions.
30
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $2,844,914 and $3,110,097 for the three months ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, representing an decrease of $265,183. The decrease in 2010 was due
primarily due to organizational sizing and direct cost cutting to reduce general and administrative
expenses. Our management continues to evaluate expenses in line with revenues to determine
additional cost cutting.
Rental expense for operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $230,518
and $175,513 respectively, representing an increase of $55,005. The increase is primarily due to
the increase in leased vehicles.
Amortization Expense
We recognized $243,338 and $476,674 of amortization expense for the three months ending March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. This represented a decrease of $233,336. The decrease is due
primarily to the full amortization in 2009 of customer contracts purchased with the STN acquisition
and classified as intangible assets.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $442,981 and $432,809 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. This increase of $10,172 is due primarily to the interest charged on the increasing
debt balance with Chatham in 2010.
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Financial Instruments
Gain on change in fair market value of derivative financial instruments was $167,639 and $677,902
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This is a decrease in gain of
$510,263. 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 our common stock.
Loss on Impairment of Goodwill
We performed an analysis to ascertain the potential impairment to the current carrying value of
goodwill at December 31, 2009. Management considered an analysis based on discounted cash flow and
a market based approach to be the most applicable. This analysis was based on projected cash flows
for the three months 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, we added an assumption for an initial investment of
$1,000,000 in 2010.
Based on these assumptions, we 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
three months ended March 31, 2010.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $22,214 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This expense relates to state income tax due for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively.
Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, we 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, we have not changed any of our tax accrual estimates. We file U.S.
federal and U.S. state tax returns. For state tax returns, we are generally no longer subject to
tax examinations for years prior to 2006.
31
Net (Income) Loss
Net loss was $1,313,216 and $650,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. This represents an increase in net loss of $663,140. This increase is primarily due
to the decrease in revenues discussed above and the decrease in gain on change in fair value of
derivative financial instruments of $510,263.
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, we did not
generate sufficient revenues from our commercial operations associated with product sales.
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.
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.
We had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of approximately $1.3 million and have
an accumulated deficit of approximately $24.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2010,
we had net cash used in operations of approximately $239,000. Historically, we have relied on
borrowings and equity financings to maintain our operations. We believe we have enough cash to
operate for the coming year with our cash on hand, cash to be generated from operations and the
borrowing availability with our lenders. However, the recent economic downturn could have a
material effect on our business operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 we 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 we will successfully
implement our plans.

and financing activities:

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, 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.
32
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 three months ended March 31, 2010 was
$238,874, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $59,417 during the same period for
2009, an increase in the use of cash for operating activities of $179,457 (302.03%). The increase
in the use of cash is due to: (i) a decrease in revenue of $1,340,459, partially offset by a
decrease in cost of sales of $715,523 and (ii) also partially offset by a net increase in
components of operating assets and liabilities of $784,138.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 and $401,968 for the three months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. This represents a decrease of $401,968. This was due to the decrease
in net cash generated from restricted cash in the amount of $516,666, partially offset by purchases
of fixed assets of 53,064 for fiscal 2009, versus 2010.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $137,540 for the three months ended March
31, 2010 and $(513,601) for the comparable period in 2009, or an increase of $651,141 (126.8%).
This is primarily due to payments on long-term debt of $798,854 made during the three months ended
March 31, 2009 versus $0 for the comparable period in 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents decreased the three months ended March 31, 2010 by $101,334 (79%).
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 $228,301, and (ii) cash provided by financing
activities of $126,967.
At March 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $3,648,764, compared with a working capital
deficit of $8,427,175 at December 31, 2009, a decrease in working capital deficit of $4,778,411
(56.4%). For the three months ended March 31, 2010, overall current assets decreased $554,666,
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 activities outlined above. Our revenue generating activities
during the period, as in previous year, have not produced sufficient funds for profitable
operations, and we have incurred operating losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and the
year ended December 31, 2009. 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.
33
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
We derive our 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. We
recognize 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.
We primarily apply 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. We recognize revenue from the equipment sales and
installation services using the percentage of completion method. The services for maintaining the
systems we install 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. We also provide 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
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.
34
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, we 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of
Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not
required to provide the information requested by this Item 3.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
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 our 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 we should continue the following
activities: (a) additional education and professional development for our accounting
35
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
Our management 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).
Our 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 our 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. Our 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.
Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our 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, our management has
concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our 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 our balance sheet in accordance with the current authoritative guidance
including EITF 00-19. In accordance with provisions of SFAS 133, we are 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
36
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 three months ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, as well as the balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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 March 31, 2010.
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 March 31, 2010, 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there have been no material changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act).

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As previously disclosed, in 2007, we 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, we
have 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, we relied on Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond to continue to operate USVD.
However, on May 12, 2009, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond notified us that they considered their
employment to be constructively terminated as a result of we 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 our liquidity and subsequently our largest equity investor, Vicis,
provided an additional capital infusion. Also, the Company and its primary lender, Chatham, have
made modifications to our 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 we 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 us
at the time of the USVD acquisition are now null and void and that, accordingly, they are free to
compete with us 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 we believe 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, we
have 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
38
connection with future estimations of earn-outs yet to be earned. We have 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, we 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.
