Beacon was formed for the purpose of acquiring and consolidating regional telecom businesses and service platforms into an integrated, national provider of high quality voice, data and VOIP communications to small and medium-sized business enterprises (the “SME Market”). The Company’s business strategy isCompany was originally formed to acquire companies that willwould allow it to serve the SME Market on an integrated, turn-key basis from system design, procurement and installation through all aspects of providing network service and designing and hosting network applications.

In response to identification of a significant unserved market, our business strategy has shifted to become a leading provider of global, international and regional telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure services, encompassing a comprehensive suite of consulting, design, installation, and infrastructure management offerings, while continuing to provide managed information technology and telecommunications services in selected local markets.

Share Exchange Transaction

and Phase I Acquisitions

Until December 20, 2007, Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Beacon (IN))” was a development stage enterprise with no operating history until the completion of the share exchange in which the shareholders of Beacon (IN) became the majority owners of Suncrest Global Energy Corp. (“Suncrest”), a Nevada corporation. Suncrest was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 22, 2000. Prior to the Share Exchange Transaction, Suncrest was a publicly-traded corporation with nominal operations of its own.

Pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement, Suncrest acquired all of the outstanding no par value common stock of Beacon (IN) on December 20, 2007. Suncrest, in exchange for such Beacon (IN) common stock issued 1 share of its own $0.001 par value common stock directly to Beacon (IN)’s stockholders for each share of their common stock (the “Share Exchange Transaction”). Following the Share Exchange Transaction, the existing stockholders of Suncrest retained 1,273,121 shares of Suncrest’s outstanding common stock and Beacon’s stockholders became the majority owners of Suncrest. Beacon paid a $305,000 fee to the stockholders of Suncrest in connection with completing the Share Exchange Transaction which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

After the Share Exchange Transaction, Suncrest was the surviving legal entity and Beacon was its wholly-owned subsidiary. Suncrest changed its name to Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. on February 15, 2008 and continued to carry on the operations of Beacon (IN). The Share Exchange Transaction

has been accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization transaction in which the original Beacon is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Beacon (IN), adjusted to give retroactive effect to the recapitalization of Beacon (IN) into Suncrest.

Business Combinations

Phase I Acquisitions

On December 20, 2007, Beacon acquired the substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Advance Data Systems, Inc., CETCON Inc., and Strategic Communications, Inc. under the terms of three separate asset purchase agreements. In

addition, Beacon acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Bell-Haun Systems Inc. in a stock purchase agreement. These acquisitions are referred to as the “Phase I Acquisitions.”

     Since December 20, 2007,

During the year ended September 30, 2008, Beacon has focused on the consolidation of various operational elements of the Phase I Acquisitions into a single core infrastructure. Beacon merged the four distinct payroll systems of the Phase I Acquisitions into one payroll system; launched a company-wide intranet and human resource information system; centralized the Company’s marketing, advertising and promotional programs; and introduced a company-wide Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. We have also hired new sales executives in our primary markets; launched a network circuit sales group; rebranded our customer facing sales and support material; merged five financial systems into one unified financial system; and attempted to capitalize on cross-selling opportunities among our different product and service groups. In addition, we refinanced certain outstanding financial obligations of the Phase I Acquisitions into a new, single five year note payable. Finally, in addition to moving into three centralized office, merging two of the offices into a single location, we reorganized our service and installation operations with our sales organizations to provide greater cross selling opportunities to our diverse customer base.

Advance Data Systems, Inc.

     On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ADSnetcurve Agreement”), our acquisition of Advance Data Systems, Inc. (“ADSnetcurve”) became effective. The ADSnetcurve Agreement was entered into between us, ADSnetcurve and the shareholders of ADSnetcurve, whereby Beacon acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of ADSnetcurve. Contemporaneously with the acquisition of ADSnetcurve, certain employees of ADSnetcurve entered into employment agreements with us, effective upon the closing of the acquisition.

     ADSnetcurve technology solutions. Specifically, these services include web application development, IT management and hosting services (for scalable infrastructure solutions); and support services. The Company acquired ADSnetcurve because the business provides the software development and support infrastructure that is needed to develop custom applications for clients’ information technology systems, and to provide management, hosting and technical support services with respect to those systems. For further information regarding this acquisition,these acquisitions, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Operations
Services
Beacon provides professional, construction and management services to clients who require a global reach, proven experience and resources, and the consistent, predictable results that can only be offered by a single global company. Today’s global and international client and international enterprises demand the competitive advantage obtained through outsourcing, without the additional cost, internal overhead and multiple points of failure that come from bidding for siloed services from small regional professional services firms or contractors. Beacon offers these global, multi-national or regional companies a competitive, single-source advantage for consulting, design, implementation, program management, project management and managed services regardless of the location. By overcoming the native barriers to entry found in the telecommunications and technology systems channels, Beacon is offering the Fortune 1,000 client a vehicle to more fully integrate global enterprise standards, reduce internal pressure on scarce IT and Facilities resources, reduce the risk that comes with multiple points of failure and increase operating income through the efficiencies that accompany true global strategic sourcing. The question is no longer whether to outsource a capability or activity, but rather how to source any activity in the value chain. Beacon offers this sourcing capability to our clients on a global, multi-national and regional basis.
Management Services.  In addition to offering consulting, design, engineering and installation of telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure, Beacon offers our clients infrastructure management services to address planning, moves, adds and changes to their telecommunications and technology systems. This service effectively bundles together all Beacon infrastructure services and offer them to clients under a global, multi-national or regional umbrella agreement. To protect client investments and reduce total cost of ownership; global, multi-national or regional infrastructure management is designed to: (i) reduce internal cost and complexity for obtaining engineering, installation or management related expenses, (ii) facilitate enterprise-wide standardization, (iii) eliminate duplicated effort, (iv) protect warranties, and (v) reduce costs associated with moves, adds and changes. The previously unavailable data which may be extracted from the Beacon management system can provide strategic planning insight and empirical data for management decisions, including the viability of new enterprise initiatives. Infrastructure management services also allow the telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure to be maintained by a planned and budgeted continuum, rather than as a reaction to a series of disconnected projects. Although Beacon clients may begin by using one of our discrete, project-oriented services (described below), the business model indicates that they will frequently evolve into a global, multi-national or regional infrastructure management client.
Design, Engineering & Construction Services.  The increasing economic, regulatory and environmental issues facing executives, IT and Facilities professionals mean that there are an increasing number of complex technical and operational issues that need to be solved for each customer. In order to address these issues, Beacon has moved beyond the expected baseline of technical and educational requirements (Professional

Bell-Haun Systems Inc.


     On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Bell-Haun Agreement”

Engineer, RCDD, PMP, CPP, CISSP, etc.), our acquisition of Bell-Haun Systems, Inc. (“Bell-Haun”) became effective. The Bell-Haun Agreement was entered into between Beacon, BH Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Acquisition Sub”), Bell-Haun and Thomas Bell and Michael Haun, whereby, Bell-Haun merged with and into a new paradigm of cross-disciplinary business and technical professionals who understand the Acquisition Sub,benefit of standardization, predictability and consistency when provided within a process-driven solution. Companies can no longer rely on ownership of the internal capabilities to contract for a wide variety of services from a pool of subcontractors, but now must develop a smaller number of global or regional relationships that allow them to control and make the most of critical capabilities, whether or not they reside on the corporate balance sheet. Beacon provides each client with access to world-class engineering, design and installation resources, but offers them within a manner designed to permit a reduction in bottom line expenditures while reducing the Acquisition Sub survivingworkload of scarce internal resources. This contrasts the merger.

     Bell-Haun specialized intraditional bid mentality where clients lose any cost-benefit gained from the installation, maintenance and ongoing support of business telephone systems, wireless services, voice messaging platforms and conference calling services to businesses throughout its region. The Company acquired Bell-Haun because the business provided it with (i) a customer base and presence in the greater Columbus, Ohio region and (ii) an established presence in the market for products and servicesbid or proposal process, through increased pressure on internal resources needed to design telecommunications infrastructures and implement such design plans and systems. For further information regarding this acquisition, please see Note 4maintain the corporate standard while controlling the cost of administration of multiple vendors for identical tasks across a global enterprise.

CETCON, Inc.

     On December 20, 2007, pursuantdramatic changes in world markets — geopolitical, macroeconomics, and technology, is to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CETCON Agreement”), our acquisitionmake business capability portable by providing the processes needed to make services delivery available on a global, multi-national or regional basis.

Special Services.  There are two vertical markets in FY 2010 that allow Beacon to leverage existing areas of CETCON, Inc. (“CETCON”) became effective. The CETCON Agreement was entered into betweeninternal expertise and as such will qualify for designation as a Beacon CETCONSpecial Service. They are data centers and smart (intelligent) buildings/campuses/cities. Data Center Special Services rely on existing expertise in consulting, design, project management, bid management and construction of data centers. Service delivery for data centers range from one or more compartmentalized professional services up to acting as the shareholders of CETCON, whereby we acquired substantially allprime contractor for the construction or retrofit of the assetsentire data center. The approach to smart or intelligent buildings/campuses/cities is primarily an engineering or design service, but can involve design/build projects. Enabled by the increasing availability of Internet compatible building systems, with demand created by pressure on building developers and assumed certainmanagers to become more sensitive to energy management and reduction of carbon footprint for the built environment, the experience and knowledge required to design the infrastructure for the more than 15 low-voltage systems found in most offices are escalating in demand. Beacon has this ability internally and offers these services in higher demand areas such as the Middle East, Europe and some areas of the liabilities of CETCON. Contemporaneously with acquisition of CETCON, certain employees of CETCON entered into employment agreements with us, effective upon the closing of the acquisition.

     CETCON provided engineering consulting servicesPacific Rim.

Managed Information Technology and Telecommunications Services. Beacon continues to commercial and government entities with respect to the design and implementation of their voice, data, video, and security infrastructures and systems. The Company acquired CETCON because the business provided systems design and engineering services that include evaluating information technology needs (including voice, data, video, and security needs) and also designed and engineered systems (i.e., hardware) and infrastructure (i.e., cabling and

connectivity) to meet those needs at the enterprise level. For further information regarding this acquisition, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Strategic Communications, Inc.

     On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Strategic Agreement”), our acquisition of selected assets of Strategic Communications, LLC (“Strategic”) became effective. The Strategic Agreement was entered into between Beacon, Strategic and the members of Strategic, whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Strategic. Contemporaneously with the Strategic Agreement, Beacon, RFK Communications, LLC (“RFK”) (co-owner of Strategic Communications, Inc.) and the members of RFK entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of RFK.

     Strategic was a voice, video and data communication systems solutions provider. Strategic specifically provided procurement for carrier services (including voice, video, data, Internet, local and long distance telephone applications), infrastructure services (including cabling and equipment); routers, servers and hubs; telephone systems, voicemail, general technology products and maintenance support. The Company acquired certain Strategic assets because the business provided it with a customer base and presence in the greater Louisville, Kentucky region and an established presence in the market for products and services needed to design and implement these types of systems. For further information regarding this acquisition, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Operations

     Services

     Beacon providesprovide information technology and telecommunications services from software developmenton a managed services basis in select local markets. These services are typically not portable and infrastructure designdo not scale in the same manner as our Professional, Construction and Management Services as the customer base is largely middle market businesses with localized needs. We typically target medium sized businesses with limited information technology resources and offer high margin, value added services that allow the customer to interconnect voice/data and systems integration. We employ industry experts whoconcentrate on their business while we provide design and implementation ofthe tools necessary to supply their information technology and telecommunications systems. Our RCDD’s, LAN specialists, network engineers, project managers, AutoCAD specialists, software developersneeds. While profitable, we expect these services will diminish as a percentage of our overall business.

Customers
Because Beacon provides infrastructure management services to global and technicians, are certifiedmulti-national clients, the primary target clients can be defined as the Fortune 1000, or the broader Forbes Global 2000. Global clients may also elect to use Beacon’s services in an arraya la carte fashion, typically using Design & Engineering services which are more portable when used outside of technologiesan infrastructure managed services contract vehicle. The business model for global, multi-national and platforms, provide custom solutionsregional clients who use one or more unbundled services allows for migration to a fully managed services offering where all services are offered under a single contractual umbrella. At the beginning of FY 2010, Beacon unveiled a regional branch business model that allowed larger local companies, especially those with multiple sites to leverage the same consulting, design, contracting, project management or even infrastructure management services offered to our customers. We employglobal clients. This regional branch model allows smaller companies who have no interest in global managed infrastructure services, or who want to sample Beacon’s services to do so with minimal risk associated with a good, better, bestlong term contract. Further, this regional branch model allows Beacon to increase the depth of resources across a given country or region, adding scalability to global and multi-national service delivery, while providing an intake vehicle for future global clients.

Suppliers
Beacon establishes manufacturer, distributor and subcontract relationships from the global perspective. The lack of competitors offering strategy thatinfrastructure management services with a global reach provides our customersBeacon with multiple options to fulfill their telecommunications and information technology requirements at prices that meet their budgeting requirements to achieve returns on investment that, in many cases, pay for themselves through cost savings that provide positive returns on investment. We also offer leasing options through several lease and/or finance company partnerships.

     We provide procurement and professional services in eighta distinct disciplines including: Voice Systems and Services, Structured Wiring Services, Physical Security Services, Infrastructure Audio/Video Services, Application Development Services, IT Management – Hosting Services, Infrastructure Design Services, and Network Services. Beacon partners with technology and telecommunications manufacturers and vendors to offer the solution the best solution for the customer within our good, better, best strategy. We partner with Cisco, Altigen, Microsoft, Iwatsu, Commscope and NEC to provide the appropriate solution to the customer at price points that meet their needs. Beacon has entered into authorized supplier agreements with those partners that require such agreements.

advantage. In addition, the global managed services business model provides an exclusive client relationship which is also attractive to offering procurement and installation of new systems, we provide repair and maintenance services for a wide range of technology and telecommunications systems. Many customers have systems that are perfectly adequate today and represent significant investment that has not been fully depreciated. We will maintain their systems on a contract basis or on a time and materials basis as needed. While we maintain the system we are able to better understand the needs of the customer and determine when a system replacement is either necessary or would provide a significant improvement in capabilities that would allow the customer to reap a return on investment from improved productivity through implementing newer technology. At the same time, we continue to seek additional opportunities each customer through the potential of providing additional services to the customer from our diverse menu of service offerings. Currently the majority of our repairs and maintenance calls are performed on a time and materials basis with a limited number of service contracts. We plan on expanding our contract service offerings through a focus on selling a contract with every installation and incentive programs for our service personnel to identify such opportunities with customers not already under contract.

     Customers

     Through the Phase I Acquisitions, Beacon acquired a client base that consisted of approximately 4,000 customers, which were predominantly small and medium sized business enterprises with 25-2,500 end users each, as well as approximately 50 larger customers. Beacon has not concentrated on specific industries as every industry requires the services that we offer. Our customers include small and medium sized enterprises, non-profits, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Our service offerings are not geographically restricted. Although our small and medium sized business enterprise and non-profit customers generally fall within our geographic footprint of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, we provide services to multi-national companies and provide international services based on the needs of our customers.

     Suppliers

Such products are typically available from more than one supplier and we routinely review our supplier relationships to determine the suppliers with the most responsive or least expensive source.attractive footprint, logistics offerings and volume-based pricing. We use multiple criteria to evaluate our suppliers and purchase with those that provide us with the best service. We manage our vendor relationships withThe majority of Beacon’s services delivery is accomplished using internal resources. Fromtime-to-time there is a need to engage the professional or construction-related services of contracted firms. The qualification and selection of these firms’ uses the same care we provide our customers. Although we have significant outstanding balances with a number of vendors, we have been successful in negotiating payment plansstringent background, chemical screening (where permissible by law) and concessions from our vendors to continue the flow of materials to support our customers and we believe this will continue. However, we can give no assurance that we will be successful in our negotiationstechnical assessments used in the future.

     Seasonality

     Our business typically followshiring of employees. Contractors are held to the capital expenditure budgetssame high levels of our customers. Our First Fiscal Quarter ended December 31 is typically a very good quarter as customersservice delivery, knowledge of customer and industry standards, and compliance with Beacon and industry best practices. Contractors are utilizingonly used with customer knowledge and consent, and in those cases when geographical challenges or special skills are needed and cannot be overcome with internal resources.

Seasonality
Due to the remaining balancebreadth of their capital expenditure budgetservices offered to Beacon clients, seasonality issues are minimal. Some seasonality deltas are noted between professional and construction services, however the volume core services and infrastructure management services tend to mitigate the seasonal differences for the year. The Second Fiscal Quarter ended March 31 is not as strong asunbundled services offered on a global or regional basis.
Customer Concentration
For the other quarters of the year as capital budgets are being reviewed and developed for the year but we typically will be in the process of completing projects that begun prior to the calendar year end. The Third and Fourth Fiscal Quarters are typically better than the Second. However, we continue to add recurring revenue streams from various sources to support the overall business with revenue streams that are more consistent throughout the year such as our Network Services commissions from reselling data and voice circuits.

     Working Capital

     Beacon has operated in a working capital deficit position during the yearyears ended September 30, 2008. We have raised operating capital through private offerings in order to provide working capital for the business as we ramp up our revenue to achieve a cash flow positive position. Our net working capital deficiency was approximately ($1.1) million as of September 30, 2008, an improvement of approximately $0.4 million from the December 31, 2007 working capital deficiency.

     On June 14, 2007, we signed a non-exclusive engagement agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (“Laidlaw”) in which Laidlaw agreed to provide us with certain corporate finance advisory services including (i) raising capital under the Private Placement transaction; (ii) structuring our Share Exchange Transaction; and (iii) assisting us with identifying the public company in the Share Exchange Transaction. These transactions were completed on December 20, 2007. We raised $4.0 million in the private placement in three separate closings on December 20, 2007, January 15, 2008 and February 12, 2008 and an additional $0.8 million on or about March 7, 2008 in a follow-on placement resulting from an oversubscription of the original private placement.

     We received $500,000 of gross proceeds ($278,000 prior to September 30, 2007 and $222,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2007) under a bridge financing facility furnished by two of our founding stockholders, who are also members of the Board of Directors. We also raised $200,000 of additional capital through the issuance of bridge notes in a second bridge note transaction completed on November 15, 2007. These bridge notes, recorded in current liabilities, are convertible into common stock and the note agreements provide for vesting of additional warrants to purchase shares of common stock should the holders continue to hold the debt and immediate vesting of the additional warrants upon conversion.

     On December 28, 2007, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with two of our directors that provided up to

6


$300,000 of additional funding, the terms of which provided each for compensation of warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share, the period the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five-year term. The financing arrangement was terminated by Beacon in conjunction with the final close of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Private Placement offering and the two directors each earned warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share under the financing arrangement.

     On March 14, 2008, Beacon and Integra Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $600,000 at a 6.25% annual interest rate with monthly payments of $11,696 over a 60 month term that matures on March 12, 2013. The first payment is due in April, 2008. The proceeds of the note were used to repay the three previously outstanding notes assumed in the Phase I Acquisitions, two of which were in default due to change in control provisions.

     On May 15, 2008, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $500,000 of additional funding, the terms of which provided for compensation of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share, the period the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five-year term. On August 19, 2008 this equity financing arrangement was increased to $3.0 million in exchange for additional warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share, the commitment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise additional equity capital in private offerings, described below, and terminating upon completion of equity financing of $3 million, upon mutual agreement or December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, we raised $1.3 million in equity financing reducing the obligation under the equity financing arrangement to $1.7 million.

     On June 11, 2008, Beacon and Integra Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $200,000 at a 6.00% annual interest rate the principal and interest of which were due and payable on August 11, 2008. The proceeds of the note were used to pay certain ongoing expenses with the balance used for working capital. The note was paid in full on the due date.

     On July 25, 2008, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants and raised approximately $1.6 million prior to terminating the offer on October 24, 2008.

     On November 12, 2008, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $3.0 million of equity financing. As of January 5, 2009, we have raised $620,000 pursuant to this offer.

     As widely reported, financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption in recent months, including, among other things, extreme volatility in securities prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. Among other risks we face, the current tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future, including, if necessary, to fund a strategic acquisition, and/or ability to refinance our debt as it comes due.

     On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise additional equity capital in private offerings, described above, and terminating upon completion of equity financing of $2.2 million, upon mutual agreement or on January 1, 2010.

     The Company believes that its currently available cash, the proceeds of its equity financing activities, the equity financing arrangement and funds it expects to generate from operations will enable it to effectively operate its business and pay its debt obligations as they become due within the next twelve months through October 1, 2009. We require additional capital in order to execute its current business plan. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing its business development activities, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will raise additional capital. The Company has not secured any commitments for new financing at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on acceptable terms, if at all.

Customer Concentration

     For the year ended September 30, 2008, our largest customer accounted for approximately 19% and 25% of sales. Although we expect we will continue to have a high degree of customer concentration our customer engagements are typically covered by multi-year contracts or master service agreements under which we and our predecessor companies have been operating for a number of years. In addition, current economic conditions could harm the liquidity ofand/or financial position of our customers or suppliers, which could in turn cause such parties to fail to meet their contractual or other obligations to us.

Backlog

     Backlog

Competition
Beacon’s service delivery offerings, and therefore its competitors, can be divided into two broad categories. First, services that are offered individually, generally in response to the client needs for a single service within a single project and secondly, services that are offered as a single source package (managed services and outsourcing) and delivered as part of September 30, 2008 was approximately $2.3 million. Backlog represents signed contractsa regional, national, multi-national or global contract, generally with a specified window of time vs. for work that will occur within the next twelve months.

Competition

     While Beacon will encountera single project or task. When offering a single service in response to a single project, there are numerous competitors. These mid to small-sized competitors in our service areas, many of which willtend to be substantially better capitalized, have more employees, have a longer operating historysingle site or confined to small geographic regions and generally aggressively compete for private or publicly announced work. Further, they typically specialize in and are better knowngood at only one service out of the 5 or 6 that the client may actually need. These smaller, single service competitors are generally viewed as being commoditized. Beacon’s Branch model allows us to successfully leverage the bigger managed services offering and introduce scalability by allowing our clients the option to expand the number of services offered and the geography over which the service is delivered. By removing the business risk associated with having only a single service to offer to new and existing clients, it further allows Beacon to differentiate itself by offering a higher level of service with a more predictable price. So by leveraging the multi-service, global capabilities of Beacon, this provides a significant competitive edge for the first category of competitors, but reduces the pool of competitors for the full-spectrum managed infrastructure services offered across broad geographic areas. There are several national infrastructure firms, such as Black Box and Netversant that have the size and possibly the funding to become direct competitors, but by nature of their size and current business models they would experience significant internal resistance to change. Their past successes in the industry, we are not awarenarrowly focused

services arena, combined with their size would provide internal and external barriers to entry, and may well convert many potential competitors into clients as the value of any other single operatorthe expanded Beacon managed services model gains wider recognition and market share.

Risks Relating to the Business

In this discussion of the “Risks Relating to the Business,” unless otherwise noted or required by the context, references to “us,” “we,” “our,” “Beacon” and similar terms refer to Beacon, as defined above, which is comprised of the operating business of Beacon, as described above, after the consummation of the Share Exchange.

Beacon has had a history of losses.

Beacon has incurred losses since its inception. While we expect to achieve a positive cash flow basis after the consolidationfull integration of our acquired operations, there can be no assurance that this will occur. Our ability to operate profitably is dependent upon our ability to operate the businesses in the Phase I Acquisitions and the


7


new services offerings, i.e. Infrastructure Management Services, in an economically successful manner but, no assurances can be given that we will be able to do this. Our prospects must be considered in light of the numerous risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in the intensely competitive and high risk telecommunications and IT services industry, as well as the risks generally inherent in the acquisition of companies and successfully integrating them. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve sustained recurring revenue and profitability on a consistent and growing basis.

Beacon’s success depends upon making and integrating acquisitions.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, negotiating, closing, integrating and adding value with respect to any further acquisitions. Failure to either augment the revenue and profit of companies acquired or acquire new companies on an accretively valued basis would constitute a failure of our business plan and could mean that investors will fail to realize any return of their investment in Beacon.

Beacon will require additional financing.

Beacon will require substantial additional capital to implement its long-term business plan and make further acquisitions. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to Beacon or, if it is, that it will be available on terms and at a valuation that would be accretive to the interests of current stockholders. In this regard, failure by Beacon to secure additional financing on favorable terms could have severe adverse consequences relative to Beacon’s ability to grow Beacon substantially through the additional acquisitions it contemplates, which ultimately could mean that Beacon may not be viable.

Rapid technological change and obsolescence could adversely affect Beacon’s business.

Our business is subject to rapid technological innovation, with old technologies superseded by innovative ones. Such developments could adversely affect the business and operations of Beacon in the future.

Beacon’s success depends upon agreements with third parties.

Our proposed business plan contemplates working with third party vendors in multiple aspects of the business. The success of our plan assumes successful relationships with third party vendors for network access as well as hardware and software products and services which Beacon seeks to offer and sell. If Beacon is unable to attract competent corporate partners, or if such partners’ efforts are inadequate, Beacon’s business could be harmed.
Beacon has operations outside the United States.
Part of our growth strategy relies on further development of operations outside the United States; such international operations are subject to additional risks, including:
• local political or economic instability;
• changes in governmental regulation;
• changes in import/export duties;
• trade restrictions;
• lack of experience in foreign markets;
• difficulties and costs of staffing and managing operations in certain foreign countries;
• work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions;
• difficulties in collecting accounts receivables on a timely basis or at all; and
• adverse tax consequences or overlapping tax structures.


8


We plan to continue to market and sell our products internationally to respond to customer requirements and market opportunities. Establishing operations in any foreign country or region presents risks such as those described above as well as risks specific to the particular country or region. In addition, until a payment history is established over time with customers in a new geography or region, the likelihood of collecting receivables generated by such operations could be less than our expectations. As a result, there is a greater risk that reserves set with respect to the collection of such receivables may be inadequate. If our operations in any foreign country are unsuccessful, we could incur significant losses and we may not achieve profitability.
In addition, changes in policies or laws of the United States or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, changes in regulations and the approval process, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on fund transfers or the expropriation of private enterprises, could reduce the anticipated benefits of our international expansion. If we fail to realize the anticipated revenue growth of our future international operations, our business and operating results could suffer
Beacon does not manufacture the equipment that it relies upon.

Beacon does not and will not have any of its own equipment or manufacturing capacity and must rely on agreements with third parties to supply all products used in Beacon’s business. An interruption in the supply of such equipment could harm the business of Beacon.

Beacon’s business is subject to inherent risks including those arising from customer acceptance, lost customers, market competition, customer liability and increasing expenses.

Customer AcceptanceAcceptance..  Beacon’s intended customers may be unfamiliar with the services and technologies offered by Beacon for any number of reasons and therefore hesitant to use Beacon’s products and services. As a result, the sales cycle involved in obtaining

9


new customers could be slower and more expensive than initially budgeted. Beacon will need to educate customers as to the benefits of its products and services, which education is costly and time consuming. Thus, Beacon cannot accurately forecast the timing and recognition of revenue from marketing of its products and services to new customers. Delays in market acceptance of Beacon’s products and services could harm Beacon.

Lost CustomersCustomers..  There is no guarantee that customers will continue to use the products and services of Beacon. The business is inherently very competitive on a price and service basis and there can be no assurance that Beacon, as a new entrant, will be successful with its business model in attracting and retaining customers.

CompetitionCompetition..  There are many companies operating in certain areas of Beacon’s basic market niche that have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing, sales, or other resources when compared to Beacon. While Beacon intends to enter into relationships with third parties to offset these competitive factors, there is no guarantee that Beacon will respond more effectively than its competitors to new or emerging products or changes in customer requirements. Increased competition, either from individual firms or collaborative ventures may harm Beacon’s ability to sell products and services on favorable terms, which in turn could lead to price cuts, reduced gross margins, or loss of market share. These factors could seriously harm Beacon’s business.

LiabilityLiability..  Beacon’s business involves providing customers with mission-critical communications products and services on a 24/7 basis. Failure by Beacon to maintain delivery of these services could place Beacon at risk of litigation and judgments for consequential and punitive damages.

ExpenseExpense..  Beacon plans to grow the businesses it acquires, which will involve incurring increased costs. Beacon will, as a result of such expansion, incur significant expenses arising from multiple necessary activities including attending marketing trade shows and conferences, hiring full-time professional sales and marketing management, consultants, attorneys, and expandingday-to-day operations. There can be no assurance that the incurrence of these costs will have the desired result of increasing revenue to the degree needed to achieve and maintain profitability.


9


Beacon depends on its key employees.

Beacon is highly dependent on certain officers and employees. The loss of any of their services or Beacon’s inability to attract and retain other qualified employees or consultants would have an adverse impact on Beacon’s business and its ability to achieve its objectives. Beacon currently intends to attempt to enter into employment and non-compete agreements with all key personnel. These agreements however will permit the employee to resign without cause at any time. There can be no assurance that Beacon will be able to retain existing employees or that it will be able to find, attract and retain other skilled personnel on acceptable terms.

Beacon has no patent protection for its products and services.

None of Beacon’s products or services is proprietary to Beacon and, as a result, Beacon enjoys no patent protection. As a result, Beacon has a limited ability to protect what it does against infringement by others, including competitors who are larger and better capitalized than Beacon.

Economic conditions could materially adversely affect us.

Our operations and performance depend significantly on national and worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about current national and global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial newsand/or declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services. Other factors that could influence demand include continuing increases in fuel and other energy costs, conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our financial condition and operating results.

The current financial turmoil affecting the banking system and financial markets and the possibility that financial institutions may consolidate or go out of business have resulted in a tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many

10


financial markets, and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency and equity markets. There could be a number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis and current economic environment on our business, including insolvency of key customers and suppliers and the inability for us to raise additional working capital to support the growth of our operations.

Changes in regulations, the laws or court rulings could adversely affect Beacon.

Our telecommunications and IT products and services are highly regulated and subject to governmental actions at myriad levels. Changes to laws affecting the telecommunications industry or the economic climate for telecommunications businesses could have a material adverse effect on Beacon’s ability to conduct business.

Beacon’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly and will be difficult to predict.

Our results of operations will fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of a number of factors, including our product development timeline and the rate at which customers accept our products. Accordingly, our future operating results are likely to be subject to variability from quarter to quarter and could be adversely affected in any particular quarter. It is possible that our operating results will be below the expectations of investors. As indicated above, Beacon has incurred losses since its inception.

Past activities of Suncrest Global Energy Corp. and its affiliates may lead to future liability for Beacon.

Before the Share Exchange, Suncrest Global Energy Corp. engaged in businesses unrelated to that of Beacon’s new operations. Any liabilities relating to such prior business may have a material adverse effect on Beacon. We have performed a review of in connection with our FIN 48 compliance and identified no material uncertain tax positions (Please refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements). Although we have not identified or been notified of any such liabilities as of December 17, 2008,10, 2009, we can give no assurances as to the existence of any such liabilities.


10


Catastrophic events or geo-political conditions may disrupt our business.

A disruption or failure of our systems or operations in the event of a major earthquake, weather event, cyber-attack, terrorist attack, or other catastrophic event could cause delays in completing sales, providing services or performing other mission-critical functions. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information technology systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and our operating results. Abrupt political change, terrorist activity, and armed conflict pose a risk of general economic disruption in affected countries, which may increase our operating costs. These conditions also may add uncertainty to the timing and budget for technology investment decisions by our customers.

Risks Relating to Ownership of Beacon Common Stock

No Assurances of a Public Market; Restrictions on Resale.

Although Beacon Common Stock is eligible for quotation on the NASD Bulletin Board, there is not and has never been a trading market for the Beacon Common Stock. There can be no assurances that any trading market will ever develop in the Beacon Common Stock at any time in the future. Investors must be prepared to bear the economic risk of holding the securities for an indefinite period of time.

Significant number of outstanding convertible notes, options and warrants could interfere with Beacon’s ability to raise capital.

Beacon has outstanding convertible notes, options and warrants that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock. To the extent that outstanding options or warrants are exercised, dilution to the percentage ownership of Beacon’s shareholders will occur. In addition, the terms on which Beacon will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected if the holders of outstanding options and warrants exercise them at a time when Beacon is able to obtain additional capital on terms more favorable to Beacon than those provided in the outstanding options and warrants.

11


The price of Beacon Common Stock may fluctuate significantly.

Stock of public companies can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or out of proportion to the operating performance of such companies. Beacon expects its stock price to be similarly volatile. These broad market fluctuations may continue and could harm Beacon’s stock price. Any negative change in the public’s perception of the prospects of Beacon or companies in Beacon’s industry could also depress Beacon’s stock price, regardless of Beacon’s actual results. Factors affecting the trading price of Beacon’s common stock may include:

»• variations in operating results;
 
 
»• announcements of technological innovations, new products or product enhancements, strategic alliances or significant agreements by Beacon or by competitors;
 
 
»• recruitment or departure of key personnel;
 
 
»• litigation, legislation, regulation or technological developments that adversely affect Beacon’s business; and
 
 
»• market conditions in Beacon’s industry, the industries of their customers and the economy as a whole.

Further, the stock market in general, and securities of microcap companies in particular, can experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of the Beacon Common Stock, which could cause a decline in the value of Beacon Common Stock. You should also be aware that price volatility might be worse if the trading volume of the Beacon Common Stock is low.


11


Although our Common Stock is currently quotedtraded on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC.BB”), trading may be extremely sporadic. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop.

The SEC may limit the number of shares of Beacon Common Stock that may be registered for resale at any one time.

The Federal securities laws distinguish between a primary offering made by an issuer and a secondary offering made by an issuer on behalf of a selling shareholder. Recently, the SEC has made public statements indicating the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance will question the ability of issuers to register shares for resale in a secondary offering where the number of shares offered exceed an estimated one-third of the total number of shares held by non-affiliates prior to the underlying private transaction. Although this position is not written or settled law, it is possible the SEC staff will view any resale offering by investors as an offering by Beacon and deem it a primary offering if the number of shares Beacon seeks to register exceeds the estimated one-third threshold. Even if the number of shares Beacon seeks to register is below the estimated one-third threshold, the SEC staff may still take the position that the offering is a primary offering rather than a secondary offering. In that event, Beacon may seek to register only a portion of its Common Stock at any one time and will only be able to register additional Common Stock after the passage of time and the sale of substantially all of the Registrable Securities subject to the previous registration statement.

Beacon Common Stock may be subject to Penny Stock Rules, which could affect trading.

Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to exceptions. The rules require that a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in connection with the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer must make a special

12


written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. If the Beacon Common Stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, holders of Beacon Common Stock or other Beacon securities may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

Beacon’s operation as a public company subjects it to extensive corporate governance and disclosure regulations that will result in additional operating expenses.

As a public company, Beacon will incurincurs significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Beacon will incurincurs costs associated with its public company reporting requirement and certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Like many smaller public companies, Beacon faces a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. Beacon is currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated timeframe. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm Beacon’s operating results, cause it to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessment of its internal control over financial reporting or its independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding management’s


12


assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in Beacon’s reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on its stock price.

If Beacon fails to maintain the adequacy of our internal control, our ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be impaired, which could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.

     Beacon has taken and will continue to take measures to address and improve its financial reporting and compliance capabilities and it is in the process of instituting changes to satisfy its obligations in connection with joining a public company, when and as such requirements become applicable to it. Beacon plans to obtain additional financial and accounting resources to support and enhance its ability to meet the requirements of being a public company.

Beacon will need to continue to improve its financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If Beacon’s financial and managerial controls, reporting systems or procedures fail, it may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of Beacon’s internal controls or its ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of Beacon common stock to decrease substantially.

Dividends

We have not paid cash dividends on shares of our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Overview

We were formed for the purpose of acquiring and consolidating regional telecom businesses and service platforms into an integrated, national provider of high quality voice, data and VOIP communications to small and medium-sized business enterprises (the “MBE Market”). Our business strategy isThe Company was originally formed to acquire companies that willwould allow usit to serve the MBESME Market on an integrated, turnkeyturn-key basis from system design, procurement and installation through all aspects of providing network service and designing and hosting network applications.

In response to identification of a significant un-served market, our business strategy has shifted to become a leading provider of global, international and regional telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure services, encompassing a comprehensive suite of consulting, design, installation, and infrastructure management offerings, while continuing to provide managed information technology and telecommunications services in selected local markets.

Beacon was a development stage enterprise with no operating history until the completion of the share exchange transaction in which the shareholders of Beacon become the majority owners of Suncrest (“Share Exchange Transaction”) completed on December 20, 2007. Concurrent with the Share Exchange Transaction, we also completed the acquisition of four complementary information technology and telecommunications businesses (the “Phase I Acquisitions”) described below.

Phase I Acquisitions

On December 20, 2007, Beacon acquired the substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Advance Data Systems, Inc., CETCON Inc., and Strategic Communications, LLCInc. under the terms of three separate asset purchase agreements. In addition, Beacon acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Bell-Haun Systems Inc. in a stock purchase agreement. These acquisitions are referred to as the “Phase I Acquisitions.”

     Since December 20, 2007,

During the year ended September 30, 2008, Beacon has focused on the consolidation of various operational elements of the Phase I Acquisitions into a single core infrastructure. For further information regarding these acquisitions, please see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition Growth Strategy
We are continuing to pursue mergers and acquisitions for a portion of our growth.
On July 30, 2009 we completed the acquisition of Symbiotec Solutions AG located outside Zurich Switzerland. This has been renamed Beacon mergedSolutions AG, relocated to a new facility in Altendorf, and engaged in a number of projects supporting our global accounts.
A key component of our growth strategy is through strategic acquisitions. These potential acquisition candidates must meet specific criteria including the four distinct payroll systems of the Phase I Acquisitions into one payroll system; launched a company-wide intranet and human resource information system; centralized the Company’s marketing, advertising and promotional programs; and introduced a company-wide Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. following;
• Accretive to earnings in the first year.
• Strategic locations throughout the US and Europe where we have significant concentrations of demand for our service offerings.
• Highly trained technical staff that can meet our internal requirements and the requirements of our Global customers.
We have also hired new sales executivesmay not continue to be successful in our primary markets; launched a network circuit sales group; rebrandedsearch for potential acquisition candidates that are acceptable for our customer facing sales and support material; merged five financial systems into one unified financial system; and attemptedbusiness model, or we may not be successful in our attempts to capitalize on cross-selling opportunities among our different product and service groups. In addition,acquire new businesses that we refinanced certain outstanding financial obligations of the Phase I Acquisitions into a new, single five year note payable. Finally, in addition to moving into three centralized offices, merging two of the offices into a single location, we reorganized our service and installation operations with our sales organizations to provide greater cross selling opportunities to our diverse customer base.

Acquisition Growth Strategy

     We will continue to integrate these operations into a single integrated organization and to develop the internal infrastructure to scale the business. Consistent with our operating plan, upon our successful integration of the Phase I Acquisitions and the development of organic growth described below, we expect to pursue our phase IIhave identified as attractive acquisition strategy, financed by additional debt or equity financings, by exploring acquisition targets to build around our three state operating hub to grow Beacon into a large regional telecommunications provider with a strong Southeast/Midwest concentration and focus.

candidates.

Organic Growth Strategy

With respect to our plans to increase revenue organically, we have identified, and are currently pursuing, several significant customer opportunities including an international design/service contract with an existing Fortune 100 client, a domestic service contract with an existing Fortune 500 client and several hardware/services contracts with the United States military. We believe these opportunities resulted, in part, from our ability to provide fully integrated voice and data communication services. In addition, subject

to securing additional capital, we intend to implement a Cisco-centric expansion strategy for a portion of our business. We have assessed the current market environment for the growth of our Cisco-centric business and believe that we can expand our Cisco business more efficiently and economically through organic growth rather than through acquisitions. Collectively, these opportunities could increase our annual revenue to over $25 million.

Our Cisco-centric initiative would have three elements:

     Following the creation of a Cisco technology lab, we would intend to offer similar Microsoft demonstration capabilities centered on Office Communications Server 2007 and Sharepoint. We believe the need for the Microsoft lab is driven by the future of “voice” within the Microsoft roadmap. Ultimately, we expect that voice will become an application that rides atop the MS Exchange environment and will not be a separate technology deployed as with a separate phone system.

     By developing and housing these two “showcase” labs, we hope to establish a distinct competitive advantage within our primary markets and be at the forefront of Cisco’s and Microsoft’s efforts to reshape business communications.

     Although our focus in the Cisco and Microsoft areas of our business will be on organic growth, we may explore Cisco-centric Microsoft-centric acquisition candidates in the future.

strategies;

• The first strategy is to expand the a la carte services offered to existing major national, multi-national and global clients who have not already signed an infrastructure managed services agreement. This has been initiated by the hiring of branch level account managers focused on the sale of individual infrastructure services and the global managed services offering. With reorganization of the professional services team structure, it permits Beacon to accommodate branch level services delivery to potential global clients.
• The second strategy is to continue to add regional branches to the existing branches in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky and Raritan, NJ. The additional branches will be strategically located to provide regional coverage and depth of resources to support global client demand.
• The third strategy is to add regional and major account sales resources in each new branch. This will facilitate the introduction of Fortune 1000, Global 2000 and qualifying multi-national firms. We refer to these current and future clients as Fortune 10000.

We completed our administrative issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock on February 16, 2009, at which time we and the director agreed that we shall be permitted, but not required, to redeem these shares at a 1% per month premium beginning 30 days from the date of their issuance at our discretion.

On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one timeone-time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment will bewas reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raiseraised additional equity capital in various private offerings, described above,placements On May 13, 2009, the director agreed to renew the commitment and terminating upon completionincrease the available financing under the arrangement to $1.8 million in exchange for a continuation of the ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share through August 11, 2009. On August 10, 2009 the facility was renewed to increase the available financing to $3.0 million through July 1, 2010 on substantially the same terms but has since been reduced on a dollar for dollar basis to zero availability as additional equity capital has been raised from financing transactions.
On January 22, 2009, Beacon entered into $500,000 of convertible notes payable with a group of private investors (the “Notes”) facilitated by a broker/dealer. During the period ended September 30, 2009, we repaid $202,000 of the convertible notes.
On March 31, 2009, we executed an extension of our $100,000 demand note with First Savings Bank, the terms of which are substantially the same as the original agreement, with payments initially due May 15 and June 15, 2009 in the amount of $50,000 each plus accrued interest. We paid $50,000 of this note. On July 24, 2009 an additional extension was executed through August 31, 2009, and further extended on October 29, 2009 through December 30, 2009.
On June 5, 2009, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $600,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $400,000 if the offering was oversubscribed. On July 9, 2009, we opted to increase this offering to $2.5 million. As of


19


August 31, 2009, we sold 1,846,847 units for net proceeds of $2.2$1,212,620 (gross proceeds of $1,479,930 less offering costs of $267,310) when we completed this offering.
On September 28, 2009, we engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $3,000,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $1,000,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. As of December 15, 2009, we sold 4,090,000 units for net proceeds of $2,673,480 (gross proceeds of $3,272,000 less offering costs of $598,520) when we completed the offering.
On October 19, 2009, we announced an authorization to proceed with providing global network infrastructure services to one of our Fortune 100 customers under a three year agreement worth approximately $27 million upon mutual agreement or on January 1, 2010.

     As widely reported, financial marketsin revenue, of which we have been experiencing extreme disruption in recent months, including, among other things, extreme volatility in securities prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgradesreceived a customer deposit of certain investments and declining valuationsapproximately $0.4 million related to initiation of others. Among other risks we face, the current tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect our ability to obtain financingproject that began early in the future, including, if necessary,fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

On November 11, 2009, we announced a $24.8 million data center construction management engagement beginning immediately with the first phase, worth approximately $13.0 million in revenue, due to complete on or before September 30, 2010. As of December 10, 2009, we have received customer deposits of approximately $3.7 million to fund the project.
We completed our acquisition of Symbiotec AG (Note 4), on July 29, 2009, subsequently executing certain commercial agreements that we believe represent significant miletstones in the execution of our business plan. As a strategic acquisition, and/or abilityresult we anticipate being able to refinancegenerate positive cash flows in our debt as it comes due.

     Weoperating activities during the year end September 30, 2010.

Based on the recent progress we made in the execution of our business plan, we believe that our currently available cash, the proceeds fromof our equity financing the equity financing arrangementactivities, and funds we expect to generate from operations will enable us to effectively operate our business and payrepay our debt obligations as they become due within the next twelve months through October 1, 2009.2010. However, we will require additional capital in order to execute our current business plan. If we are unable to raise additional capital, or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing our business development activities, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that we will raise additional capital. We have not secured any commitments for

20


new financing at this time, nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have three operating lease commitments for real estate used for office space and production facilities.

Dividends on Series A andA-1 Preferred Stock are payable quarterly at an annual rate of 10% and Series B Preferred Stock are payable quarterly at an annual rate of 6% in cash or the issuance of additional shares of Series A,A-1 and B Preferred Stock, at our option. If we were to fund dividends accruing during the year ending September 30, 20092010 in cash, the total obligation would be $504,000$370,000 based on the number of shares of Series A,A-1 and B Preferred Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2008.

2009.

We currently anticipate the cash requirements for capital expenditures, operating lease commitments and working capital will likely be funded with our existing fund sources and cash provided from operating activities. In the aggregate, total capital expenditures are not expected to exceed $500,000 for the year ended September 30, 20092010 and could be curtailed should we experience a shortfall in expected financing.

Working Capital

As of September 30, 2008,2009, our current liabilities exceed current assets by approximately $1.1($1.5) million. The bridge notes recorded in non-currentcurrent liabilities are convertible into common stock and the note agreements provide for vesting of additional warrants to purchase shares of common should the holders continue to hold the debt and immediate vesting of the additional warrants upon conversion. During the year ended September 30, 2008 we refinanced the line of credit obligation and a note payable that were in default as of December 31, 2007 that we assumed in the Phase I Acquisitions. In addition, certain vendors have agreed to defer payment or agreed to payment plans or to accept common stock in exchange for settlement of their outstanding balance. We have reduced our working capital deficit by approximately $0.4 million during the nine months since December 31, 2007. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in our efforts to negotiate favorable terms with our vendors.

To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc.

Inc

1311 Herr Lane, Suite 205
Louisville, KY 40222

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit 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 Company’s 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc.Inc and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 20072008 and 2008,2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the period of June 6, 2007 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2007 and for the yearyears then ended September 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Thesefuture, including, if necessary, to fund strategic acquisitions,and/or refinance our debt as it comes due.

Financing transactions werewe completed on December 20, 2007. We raised $4.0 million in the private placement in three separate closings on December 20, 2007, January 15, 2008, and February 12, 2008. We closed on an additional $0.8 million follow-on placement referred to herein as the “Series A-1 Placement,” completed on March 11, 2008. We assumed approximately $405,000 of debt obligations in which the sellers of one of the acquired businesses described in Note 4 triggered an acceleration of principal under certain change of ownership provisions that constituted an event of default under those agreements which was subsequently refinanced on March 14, 2008 (Note 10).

     As described in Note 10, Beacon received $500,000 of gross proceeds ($278,000 prior to September 30, 2007 and $222,000 during the year endedending September 30, 2008) under a bridge financing facility furnished by two of its founding stockholders, who are also members of2009 include the Board of Directors. We also raised $200,000 of additional capital through the issuance of bridge notes in a second bridge note transaction completed on November 15, 2007. The Bridge Noteholders agreed to defer payment of the principal to June 30, 2010. On August 20, 2008, Beacon entered into an open ended loan for $100,000 from one of our directors. On September 4, 2008, Beacon and First Savings Bank entered into a line of credit for $100,000 originally due September 29, 2008 but extended through February 2009. In addition, we entered into a $200,000 short-term note on June 11, 2008 due August 11, 2008 collateralized by certain fully executed contracts which was paid in full on its due date. following:

On July 25, 2008, we engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement ($.80 per unit) (the “July Common Offering”) of up to complete3,750,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock. During the year ended September 30, 2009 we sold 367,099 units for net proceeds of $239,290 (gross proceeds of $293,679 less offering costs of $54,389).
On October 29, November 17 and November 19, 2008, Beacon and Midian Properties, LLC, entered into short term credit facilities in the amounts of $100,000, $120,000 and $70,000 that the Company repaid. On March 27, 2009, Beacon and Midian, entered into a short term credit facility in the amount of $53,000, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 1% origination fee. The credit facility has been fully repaid.
On November 12, 2008, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants under ato raise $3.0 million of equity financing transaction in which we raised approximately $1.0 million through September 30, 2008 andwith an additional $0.6 million through October 24, 2008 at which time the offering expired. Beacon engaged a broker dealer on November 12, 2008option to raise an additional $450,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. As of May 27, 2009 we sold 4,277,050 units for net proceeds of $2,642,465 (gross proceeds of $3,421,640 less offering costs of $779,175).
On January 7, 2009, we entered into a note payable with a principal amount of $200,000 payable on or before December 31, 2009, bearing interest at 12% per annum with one of our directors. The director concurrently authorized us to issue 300 shares of preferred stock in exchange for this note and an additional $100,000 note issued prior to December 31, 2008. We completed our administrative issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock on February 16, 2009, at which time we and the director agreed that we shall be permitted, but not required, to redeem these shares at a 1% per month premium beginning 30 days from the date of their issuance at our discretion.
On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one-time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment was reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raised additional equity capital in various private placements On May 13, 2009, the director agreed to renew the commitment and increase the available financing under the arrangement to $1.8 million available in exchange for a continuation of the ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share through August 11, 2009. On August 10, 2009 the facility was renewed to increase the available financing to $3.0 million through July 1, 2010 on substantially the same terms but has

since been reduced on a dollar for dollar basis to zero availability based on additional equity capital raised in financing transactions.
On January 22, 2009, Beacon entered into $500,000 of convertible notes payable with a group of private investors (the “Notes”) facilitated by a broker/dealer. During the period ended September 30, 2009, we repaid $202,000 of the outstanding principal balance was repaid to the holders of the convertible notes.
On March 31, 2009, we executed an extension of our $100,000 demand note with First Savings Bank, the terms of which are substantially the same as the original agreement, with payments due May 15 and June 15, 2009 in the amount of $50,000 each plus accrued interest. We repaid $50,000 of this note. On July 24, 2009 an additional extension was executed through August 31, 2009, and further extended on October 29, 2009 through December 30, 2009.
On June 5, 2009, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a new private placement of Common Stock and Warrants under whichto raise $600,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $400,000 if the offering was oversubscribed. On July 9, 2009, we have raised $620,000opted to increase this offering to $2.5 million. As of September 30, 2009, we sold 1,846,847 units for net proceeds of $1,212,620 (gross proceeds of $1,479,930 less offering costs of $267,310) when we completed this offering.
On September 28, 2009, we engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrant to raise $3,000,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $1,000,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. As of December 15, 2009, we sold 4,090,000 units for net proceeds of $2,673,480 (gross proceeds of $3,272,000 less offering costs of $598,520) when we completed the offering. Of the units sold, 362,500 of these shares were sold as of January 5, 2009.

the year ended September 30, 2009 for net proceeds of $252,300 (gross proceeds of $290,000 less offering costs of $37,700).

We completed our acquisition of Symbiotec AG (Note 4), on July 29, 2009, subsequently executing certain commercial agreements that we believe represent significant miletstones in the execution of our business plan. As a result we anticipate being able to generate positive cash flows in our operating activities during the year end September 30, 2010.
Based on the recent progress we made in the execution of our business plan, we believe that our currently available cash, the proceeds of our equity financing activities, and funds we expect to generate from operations will enable us to effectively operate our business and payrepay our debt obligations as they become due within the next year through October 1, 2009.2010. However, we will require additional capital in order to execute our current business plan. Although we commenced the private placement described above, we have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time other than a $2.2 million equity financing arrangement entered into with one of our directors on January 9, 2009. In addition, the availability of credit and/or the potential to raise capital in general has been adversely affected by the current national and global economic crisis. We are therefore unable to determine the duration of time it may take to raise additional capital in this environment. If we are unable to raise additional capital, or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing our business development activities, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that we will raise additional capital. We have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time, nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

NOTE 3 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Suncrest) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries the original Beacon formed in Indiana in June 2007, and BH Acquisition Corp.Corp, BESG Ireland Ltd. and Beacon Solutions AG. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued as purchase consideration in business combinationsand/or in financing transactions and in share based payment arrangements, accounts receivable reserves, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, allocating the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations (including separately identifiable intangible assets and goodwill) and estimating the fair values of long lived assets to

29


assess whether impairment charges may be necessary. Certain of our estimates, including accounts receivable and inventory reserves and the carrying amounts of intangible assets could be affected by external conditions such as the current national and global economic crisis.economicdownturn. It is at least reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. We intend to re-evaluate all of our accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments, when necessary; however, we are currently unable to determine whether adjustments due to changes in our estimates would be material.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Beacon applies the revenue recognition principles set forth under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 with respect to all of our revenue. Accordingly, we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the vendor’s fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is probable. We generated approximately $6.0 million and $11.1 million of revenue during the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 representing approximately nine months of results of operations of the consolidated Phase I Acquisitions. During the period from the Date of Inception to September 30, 2007 we were a development stage company and did not generate any revenue.

Business Telephone System and Computer Hardware Product Revenues -Beacon requires our hardware product sales to be supported by a written contract or other evidence of a sale transaction that clearly indicates the selling price to the customer, shipping terms, payment terms (generally 30 days) and refund policy, if any. Since our hardware sales are supported by a contract or other document that clearly indicates the terms of the transaction, and the selling price is fixed at the time the sale is consummated, we record revenue on these sales at the time at which we receive a confirmation that the goods were tendered at their destination when shipped “FOB destination,” or upon confirmation that shipment has occurred when shipped “FOB shipping point.”

     For product sales, we apply the factors discussed in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issue 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent,” (“99-19”), in determining whether to recognize product revenues on a gross or net basis. In a substantial majority of these transactions, we act as principal because; (i) we have latitude in establishing selling prices; (ii) we take title to the products; and (iii) we have the risks and rewards of ownership, including the risk of loss for collection, delivery or returns. For these transactions, we recognize revenues based on the gross amounts billed to customers.

Professional Services Revenue -We generally bill our customers for professional telecommunications and data consulting services based on hours of time spent on any given assignment at its hourly billing rates. As it relates to delivery of these services, we recognize revenue under these arrangements as the work is completed and the customer has indicated their acceptance of services by approving a work order milestone or completion order. For certain engagements, we enter into fixed bid contracts, and recognize revenue as phases of the project are completed and accepted by the client. We generated approximately $2.9 million of professional services revenue during the year ended September 30, 2008.

2009, respectively.

Time and Materials Contracts Revenues from time and materials contracts, which generally include product sales and installation services, are billed when services are completed based on fixed labor rates plus materials. A substantial majority of our services in this category are completed in short periods of time. Under the terms of our time and materials contracts, we generally bifurcate materials from installation services as elements of our contracts that have stand alone value. We bill our customers for material purchases under these contracts at the time of delivery, at which time our customers take title to the goods and assume the risk of loss. We bill our customers for installation services over the term of the project following the completion of contractually delivered milestones. We may, on occasion, enter into long-termlonger-term contracts in which it would be appropriate to recognize revenue using long-term contract accounting such as the percentage of completion method. We generated revenues of approximately $3.1 million$3,100,000 and $6,700,000 from short-term time and materials contracts for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008.

Maintenance Contracts –2008 and 2009 respectively. Beacon warranties all phone system installations for 1 year, for which we have accrued $47,000 and $65,000 as a representative of various original equipment manufacturers, sells extended maintenance contractsthe years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

Professional Services Revenue —We generally bill our customers for professional telecommunications and data consulting services based on equipmenthours of time spent on any given assignment at our hourly billing rates. As it relates to delivery of these services, we sellrecognize revenue under these arrangements as the work is completed and also acts as an authorized servicing agent with respect to these contracts. These contracts, which are sold as separate agreements from other products and services, are individually negotiated and are generally not bundled with other products and services. For maintenance contract sales, we apply the factors discussed in “EITF” 99-19 in determining whether to recognize product revenues on a gross or net basis. Maintenance contracts are typically manufacturer maintenance contracts that are sold to the customer onhas indicated their acceptance of services by approving a reseller basis. Based on an analysiswork order milestone or completion order. We may, from time to time, enter into fixed bid contracts, and recognize revenue as phases of the factors set forth in EITF 99-19, we have determined that we act as an agent in these situations,project are completed and therefore recognize revenues on a net basis. Our shareaccepted by the client. We generated approximately $2,900,000 and $4,200,000 of revenue that we earn from originating these contracts is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. Material and labor is charged for any service calls under these maintenance contracts on a time and materials basis which is charged to either the customer or manufacturer. We recognized less than $0.1 million of maintenanceprofessional services revenue during the yearyears ended September 30, 2008.2008 and 2009 respectively.

We account for sales taxes collected on behalf of government authorities using the net method. Pursuant to this method, sales taxes are included in the amounts receivable and a payable is recorded for the amounts due to the government agencies.

Foreign Currency Reporting
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Accordingly, the Company’s subsidiary, Beacon AG uses the local currency (Swiss Francs) as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation adjustments of $0 and $9,862 were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 and 2009.
Customer Concentration

For the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, our largest customer accounted for approximately 19% and 25% of sales.

sales, respectively. Although we expect we will continue to have a high degree of customer concentration our customer engagements are typically covered by multi-year contracts or master service agreements under which we and our predecessor companies have been operating for a number of years. In addition, current economic conditions could harm the liquidity and financial condition of our customers or suppliers, which could in turn cause such parties to fail to meet their contractual or other obligations to us.

Advertising Expense

Advertising expense iscosts are expensed immediately as incurred. Advertising expense amounted to approximately $42,000 and $50,000 for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008. We did not incur any advertising costs during the prior period of June 6, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2007.

2008 and 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Beacon considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Due to their short-term nature, cash equivalents, when they are carried, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable include customer billings on invoices issued by us after the service is rendered or the revenue earned. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of our customer’s financial condition and advance payment for services is generally required for many of our services. Credit losses have been provided for in the financial statements and are within management’s expectations.

We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts as an estimate of potential credit risk due to current market conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluation of our customers’ financial condition when we deem appropriate and we typically require no collateral from our customers.a deposit of 50% of the value of the contract for long term time and material agreements. Many of our contracts allow for the filing of a mechanics lien on equipment delivered and installed should the customer become delinquent in payment but we rarely are required to exercise this right.payment. Beacon has a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on ourits best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses based on, among other things, historical collection experience, a review of the current aging status of customer receivables, a review of specific information for those customers deemed to be higher risk and other external factors including the current economic environment and how the current crisisconditions in the credit markets could affect the ability of our customers to make payments. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts onaccount at least a quarterly basis.quarterly. Unfavorable changes in economic conditions might impact the amounts ultimately collected from our customers and therefore maycould result in changes to the estimated allowance and future results of operations

could be materially affected. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible or otherwise settled with a customer are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Historically, the companies acquired in the business combinations described in Note 4 have experienced minimal credit losses. We currently believe the majority of our receivables are collectible due to the nature of the industry and the substantial customer deposits initially received at contract inception. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $50,000 and $173,000 as of September 30, 2008.

2008 and 2009.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists of business telephone systems and associated equipment and parts, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in,(first-in, first-out method) or market. In the case of slow moving items, we may write down or calculate a reserve to reflect a reduced marketability for the item. The actual percentage reserved will depend on the total quantity on hand, its sales history, and expected near term sales prospects. When we discontinue sales of a product, we will write down the value of inventory to an amount equal to

31


its estimated net realizable value less all applicable disposition costs. Slow moving items include spare parts for older phone systems that we use to repair or upgrade customer phone systems. A portion of these items, which are stated at their net realizable value, are likely to be used after the next year and are therefore presented as non-current inventory in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. A portion of the inventory on hand at September 30, 2008 and 2009 includes goods acquired in the business combinations completed on December 20, 2007. These goods are stated at the net realizable value established using the purchase method of accounting (Note 4) less a reserve for obsolete inventory as phone systems for which we carry spare parts are discontinued and diminish in the marketplace.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, including any cost to place the property into service, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which currently range from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash accounts at high quality financial institutions with balances, at times, in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2008,2009, we had no deposits in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our deposits are financially sound and therefore pose minimal credit risk.

Start Up Costs

     All expenses incurred in connection with our formation and related start up activities have been expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Start up costs, which principally include professional fees and other administrative costs amounted to approximately $127,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “GoodwillASC 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142Other. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations (Note 4). SFAS 142,GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units,


34


BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIIONS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Beacon operates a single reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair valueand/or goodwill impairment.

We reviewed our singlegoodwill for each of our two reporting unitunits, which are the same as our segments for possible goodwill impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the nettheir respective assets. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, no goodwill impairment is deemed to exist. If the fair valuevalues of each of the reporting unitunits does not exceed the carrying valuevalues of nettheir respective assets, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its implied value if it is determined to be impaired. Based on a review of the fair value of our business,reporting units, no impairment is deemed to exist as of September 30, 2008.2008 or 2009. Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the potential impact on the Company’s business, if forecasted revenue and margin growth rates of our reporting unitunits are not achieved, it is at least

32


reasonably possible that triggering events could arise that would require us to evaluate the carrying amount of our goodwill for possible impairment prior to the next annual review that we would perform as of September 30, 2009.2010. If a triggering event causes an impairment review to be required before the next annual review, it is not possible at this time to determine if an impairment charge would result or if such charge would be material.

Our amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships and covenants not to compete. These costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated fair values and useful lives of the customer relationships and non-compete agreements were originally recorded based on preliminary estimates that we made following the completion of our Phase I Acquisitions. As of September 30, 2008, we have completed our valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Phase I Acquisitions and have determined that the differences between the preliminary values we recorded for amortizable intangible assets and the final amounts derived from our valuations are insignificant. We are amortizing customer relationships on a straight line basis over a 15 year estimated useful life andlife. The covenants not to compete have been amortized on a straight line basis over a twelvetwenty four month estimated useful life. Amortization expense for the year ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 was approximately $0.5 million.

     In accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we$500,000 and $461,000. We review the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment was deemed to exist as of September 30, 2008.2008 and 2009. We intend to re-evaluate the carrying amounts of our amortizable intangibles at lease quarterly to identify any triggering events, including those that could arise from the current national and global economic crisisdownturn that would require us to conduct an impairment review. As described above, if triggering events require us to undertake an impairment review, it is not possible at this time to determine whether it would be necessary to record a charge or if such charge would be material.

Preferred Stock

We apply the guidance enumerated in SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of bothASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities andfrom Equity” and EITF Topic D-98 “Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities,” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS 150. All other issuances of preferred stock are subject to the classification and measurement principles of EITF Topic D-98. Accordingly wevalue. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classify our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Our preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders control or conditional redemption features not within our control as of September 30, 2008.2008 and 2009. Accordingly all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of consolidated stockholders’ (deficiency) equity.equity (deficit).

Convertible Instruments

We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative InstrumentsASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”) and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”).

     SFAS 133 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. These threeaccording to certain criteria. The criteria includeincludes circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of SFAS 133. SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 also provide aninstrument.

under applicable GAAP.

We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with the provisions of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features” (“EITF 98-5”) and EITF 00-27, “Application of EITF 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF 00-27”). Accordingly, weas follows. We record, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. We also record, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

We evaluated the conversion option featured in the Bridge Financing Facility and Bridge Notes that are more fully described in Note 10. These conversion options provided the noteholders,note-holders, of whom three are also founding stockholdersand/or directors of Beacon, with the right to convert any advances outstanding under the facility, into shares of our common stock at anytime upon or after the completion of the entire Series A Private Placement described in Note 14. The conversion options embedded in these notes would not have been exercisable unless and until we raised the full $4,000,000 of proceeds stipulated in the Series A Private Placement that was commenced during the three months ended December 31, 2007 and completed during the year ended September 30, 2008.

     We had deemed the completion of the entire Private Placement to be an event that was not within our control.

As described in Note 10, we completed our Private Placement on February 12, 2008 at which time the conversion options embedded in the Notes became exercisable at the option of the holders. Accordingly, we recorded a $72,000 discount to the face value of the Bridge Notes based on the relative fair values of the Bridge Warrants and the Notes measured as of the commitment date on November 15, 2007 and an additional $128,000 discount related to the beneficial conversion feature that is being accreted to interest expense over the contractual term of the Notes.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

We account for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-19. Based on the provisions of EITF 00-19, we classify as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii)gives us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

Our free standing derivatives consist of warrants to purchase common stock that werewe issued to three founding stockholders/directors and one independent qualified investor in connection with the Bridge

We determined that the common stock purchase warrants do not feature any characteristics permitting net cash settlement at the option of the holders. Accordingly, these instruments have been classified in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 20072008 and 2008.

Share-Based Payments

We account for stock-based compensation using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123(R)”), as amended,share based payments in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Payments which results in the recognition of compensation

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method, whichunder applicable GAAP and requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-basedshare based payment awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. TheWe calculate the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuationoption pricing model. The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of our common stock on date of grant.

The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Incomein accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. SFAS 109 additionally requiresWe also record a valuation allowance to be established when we determine that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Furthermore, SFAS 109 provides thatUnder applicable GAAP it is difficult to conclude that a valuation allowance is not needed when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Therefore, cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. Accordingly, we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. In addition, we expect to provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to utilize the assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests our ability to utilize such assets. We will continue to reassessre-assess our reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.

     Effective June 6, 2007 (Date of Inception),

We also periodically evaluate whether we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertaintyhave any uncertain tax positions requiring accounting recognition in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in theour financial statements. Under FIN 48, weapplicable GAAP, companies may recognize thea tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48Applicable GAAP also provides guidance on the de-recognition of income tax liabilities, classification of interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting for uncertain tax positions in interim period financial statements. Our policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as a component of our income tax expense.

As described in Note 15, we completed our preliminary assessment of uncertain tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 duringfor the period of June 6, 2007 throughyears ended September 30, 20072008 and for the year September 30, 2008,2009, including the effects of the Share Exchange Transaction described in Note 1 and business combinations completed as described in Note 4. Based on this preliminary assessment, we have determined that we have no material uncertain income tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in accordance with FIN 48.for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements for cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the bridge notes, long-term debt and capital lease obligations approximate fair value because the contractual interest rates or the effective yields of such instruments, which includes the effects of contractual interest rates taken together with the concurrent issuance of common stock purchase warrants, are consistent with current market rates of interest for instruments of comparable credit risk.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     In September 2006,

The FASB, in June 2009, issued new accounting guidance that established the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”Accounting Standards Codification, (“SFAS 157”Codification” or “ASC”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market based framework as the single source of authoritative GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, except for measuring fair valuethe rules and expands disclosureinterpretive releases of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 appliesthe SEC under other accounting pronouncements that requireauthority of federal securities laws, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or permit fair value measurementsEmerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates.

     In February 2008, SFAS 157 was amended by FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157: Fair Value Measurements” (“FSP 157-2”). As such, SFAS 157 (as amended)2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). Thenew accounting guidance, in SFAS 159 “allows” reporting entities to “choose” to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective underlying the development of this literature is to improve financial reporting by providing reporting entities with the opportunity to reduce volatility in reported earnings that results from measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions, using the guidance in SFAS 133, as amended. The provisions of SFAS 159 are applicable to all reporting entities and are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins subsequent to November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material effectunder ASC Topic 805 on our consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits on Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 addresses share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under SFAS 123R and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings are paid to employees for equity-classified nonvested shares, nonvested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”),business combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R establishesestablished principles and requirements for determiningas to how an enterprise recognizesacquirers recognize and measuresmeasure in these financial statements the fair value of certainidentifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests and liabilitiesgoodwill acquired in athe business combination including noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies.

     In December 2007, the SEC staff issued SAB No. 110 (“SAB 110”), “Share-Based Payment,” which amends SAB 107, “Share-Based Payment,” to permit public companies, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in SAB 107 for employee option grants after December 31, 2007. Use of the simplified method after December 2007 is permitted only for companies whose historical data about their employees’ exercise behavior does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term of the options. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 260 on earnings per share, related to the determination of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. This guidance clarifies that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or other standards-setting bodies that doafter December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have an affect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to this pronouncement, we expect to reclassify approximately $3.9 million from Accumulated deficit to a liability as of October 1, 2009. However, this liability will have neither an effect on cash flow nor tangible net worth of the company.

In November 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 323 on investments— equity method and joint ventures, relating to the accounting for equity method investments. This guidance addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how it should be tested for impairment, and how changes in classification from equity method to cost method should be treated. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on its accounting for any future business acquisitions.
In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 855 on subsequent events, which sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 —BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Advance Data Systems, Inc.

On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ADSnetcurve Agreement”), our acquisition of Advance Data Systems, Inc. (“ADSnetcurve”) became effective. The ADSnetcurve Agreement was entered into between us, ADSnetcurve and the shareholders of ADSnetcurve, whereby Beacon acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of ADSnetcurve. Contemporaneously with the acquisition of ADSnetcurve, certain employees of ADSnetcurve entered into employment agreements with us, effective upon the closing of the acquisition.

ADSnetcurve is a global information technology company that provides technology solutions. Specifically, these services include web application development, IT management and hosting services (for scalable infrastructure solutions); and support services. We acquired ADSnetcurve because the business provides the software development and support infrastructure that is needed to develop custom applications for clients’ information technology systems, and to provide management, hosting and technical support services with respect to those systems.

The aggregate purchase price paid by Beacon, inclusive of direct transaction expenses, in connection with the ADSnetcurve acquisition amounted to an adjusted $1,647,548, including 700,000 shares of common stock valued at $.85 per share, $666,079 of cash, a $220,000 secured promissory note (“ADS Note”) as adjusted from an original principal balance of $300,000,, and estimated direct transaction expenses of $172,345 net of $5,876 of cash acquired.

The ADS Note (Note 10) has a term of 48 months, bearing interest at the prime rate, and is secured by the assets acquired by Beacon from ADSnetcurve. The ADS Note provides for monthly principal and interest payments of $7,219. The ADS Note also contains a pre-payment provision such that, following theour initial Private Placement, we are required to make additional principal payments equal to 3.2% of the net amount received by us from any equity capital raised, in excess of $1,000,000, after the closing date until such time as the ADS Note has been paid in full. As of September 30, 2009 no additional payments have been made. During the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, we made payments of $74,568 and $80,302 on this

note representing $63,383 and $75,695 of principal and $11,185 and 4, 607 of interest, including principal payments made pursuant to our equity capital raises.

The ADSnetcurve agreement stipulated that if from the closing date to the first anniversary of the closing of this transaction, the annual revenue generated by ADSnetcurve amounts to less than $1,800,000, then the balance due under the ADS Note would be reduced by up to 60% of its principal amount but would not be less than $120,000. Based on information available at the time of the acquisition, we recorded the ADS Note at its full principal amount of $300,000 since attainment of the performance target was deemed to be probable,probable; however, based on current economic conditions and current trends, ADSnetcurve willthe performance target was not attain the revenue threshold stipulated under the acquisition agreement.achieved. Accordingly, we have reduced the ADS Note balance and goodwill by $80,000 as ofduring the year ended September 30, 2008. We are currently in negotiations to settle a portion of the remaining balance of the note for a share-based payment to be determined, however, no agreement has been reached at this time.

as of September 30, 2009.

The agreement was subject to a net working capital adjustment that was initially measured and later adjusted as of December 20, 2007. Based on the initial net working capital measurement, $116,049 of the purchase price was placeplaced in escrow on December 20, 2007. On January 15, 2008, based on the final determination of net working capital, $66,079 was released to the sellers (included in cash consideration above) and the remaining balance was returned to us from escrow.

Beginning December 21, 2007, the day immediately following the effective date of the transaction, the financial results of ADSnetcurve were consolidated with those of our business. The acquisition was accounted for underusing the purchase method of

As of September 30, 2008, the valuation of the purchase price allocation has been finalized. The excess of the purchase price over net assets acquired amounted to $524,396 and was recorded as goodwill. Other separately identifiable intangibles consisting of customer relationships and non-compete agreements amounted to an aggregate of $962,027. Based on final valuations and the resolution of the performance targets related to the ADS Note, the purchase consideration has been adjusted to $1,647,548.

Bell-Haun Systems Inc.

On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Bell-Haun Agreement”), our acquisition of Bell-Haun Systems, Inc. (“Bell-Haun”) became effective. The Bell-Haun Agreement was entered into between Beacon, BH Acquisition Sub, Inc. (the “Acquisition Sub”), Bell-Haun and Thomas Bell and Michael Haun, whereby, Bell-Haun merged with and into the Acquisition Sub, with the Acquisition Sub surviving the merger.

Bell-Haun specializes in the installation, maintenance and ongoing support of business telephone systems, wireless services, voice messaging platforms and conference calling services to businesses throughout its region. The Company acquired Bell-Haun because it believes the business provides it with (i) a customer base and presence in the greater Columbus, Ohio region and (ii) an established presence in the market for products and services needed to design telecommunications infrastructures and implement such design plans and systems.

The aggregate purchase price paid by Beacon, inclusive of direct transaction expenses, in connection with the Bell-Haun acquisition amounted to $794,100, including 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $.85 per share, $155,048 of cash, notes payable (the “Bell-Haun Notes”) in the amount $119,000, and future payments in the amount of $50,000 related to non-compete agreements that are included in the direct transaction costs of $95,052.

The Bell-Haun Notes are payable over 60 months in installments of $2,413 including interest at 8% per annum with the first payment due and payable on January 19, 2009 (Note 10). During the year ended

BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIIONS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
September 30, 2009, we made payments $81,554 on this note representing $75,015 of principal and $6,539 of interest, including principal payments made pursuant to our equity capital raises.
The Bell-Haun Agreement also provides for the payment of up to $480,374 of additional purchase consideration upon the attainment of certain earnings milestones based on gross profit earned over the twelve months following the anniversary of the closing. These payments are being accounted for as contingent consideration that would be recorded as an increase to goodwill at December 20, 2008, the measurement date of the milestone if such milestones are attained. We currently do not expect to pay any additional purchase consideration to the sellers of Bell-Haun since it is not probable that the performance targets stipulated under the acquisition agreement will be met.

Beginning December 21, 2007, the day immediately following the effective date of the transaction, the financial results of Bell-Haun Systems Inc. were consolidated with those of our business. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, whereby a preliminary valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was performed as of December 20, 2007. The aggregate amount of the purchase price which amounted to $794,100 plus the amount of the net liabilities assumed which amounted to $599,520 (grand total of $1,393,620), was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill initially amounted to approximately $520,000, but was subsequently adjusted to approximately $451,000 as of September 30, 2008, upon the completion of our valuation. Separately identifiable intangibles consisting of customer relationships and non-compete agreements amounted to an aggregate of $873,760.

As described in Notes 2 and 10, we assumed approximately $405,000 of debt obligations in this transaction that were in default as of the closing due to certain change of control restrictions that the sellers breached upon the transfer or their shares to us. These debt obligations were refinanced on March 14, 2008.

CETCON, Inc.

On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “CETCON Agreement”), our acquisition of CETCON, Inc. (“CETCON”) became effective. The CETCON Agreement was entered into between Beacon, CETCON and the shareholders of CETCON, whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of CETCON.

39


Contemporaneously with the acquisition of CETCON, certain employees of CETCON entered into employment agreements with us, effective upon the closing of the acquisition.

CETCON provides engineering consulting services to commercial and government entities with respect to the design and implementation of their voice, data, video, and security infrastructures and systems. Beacon acquired CETCON because the business provides systems design and engineering services that include evaluating information technology needs (including voice, data, video, and security needs) and also designs and engineers systems (i.e., hardware) and infrastructure (i.e., cabling and connectivity) to meet those needs at the enterprise level.

The aggregate purchase price paid by Beacon, inclusive of direct transaction expenses, in connection with the CETCON acquisition amounted to $2,158,111, including 900,000 shares of common stock valued at $.85 per share, $700,000 of cash, a $600,000 secured promissory note (the “CETCON Note”) and direct transaction costs of $235,519 net of cash acquired of $142,407.

The CETCON Note (Note 10) has a term of 60 months, bearing interest at 8% per annum. The CETCON Note provides for monthly principal and interest payments in the amount of $12,166 and is secured by the assets acquired by us in this transaction (subordinate only to existing senior debt of $194,947 assumed in the acquisition which was repaid from proceeds of a new credit facility entered into on March 14, 2008 (Note 10)). If, from the closing date to October 31, 2008, the revenue generated from CETCON is less than $2,000,000, the principal amount of the CETCON Note will be reduced by the percentage of the actual revenue divided by $2,000,000. The minimum revenue of $2,000,000 provided for in the CETCON Note for which there would be

consideration payable was achieved. Accordingly, the full principal amount of the CETCON Note was included in the purchase consideration paid to the seller as of the closing date of the acquisition. During the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, we made payments of $118,493 and $133,823 on this note representing $84,373 and $99,222 of principal and $34,120 and $34,601 of interest.

We may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the CETCON Note. The CETCON Note contains a pre-payment provision such that, following the initial Private Placement, we are required to make additional principal payments equal to 3% of the net amount received by us from any equity capital raised, in excess of $1,000,000, after the closing date until such time as the CETCON Note is paid in full. Such amounts are included in the principal payments referred to in the previous paragraph.

Beginning December 21, 2007, the financial results of CETCON, Inc. were consolidated with those of our business. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141, whereby a preliminary valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired business was performed as of December 20, 2007. Pursuant to our final valuation, the excess of the purchase price over net tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets acquired amounted to $994,007 and was recorded as goodwill. Other separately identifiable intangibles consisting of customer relationships and non-compete agreements amounted to an estimated aggregate fair value of $1,127,887.

Strategic Communications, LLC

On December 20, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Strategic Agreement”), our acquisition of selected assets of Strategic Communications, LLC (“Strategic”) became effective. The Strategic Agreement was entered into between Beacon, Strategic and the members of Strategic, whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Strategic. Contemporaneously with the Strategic Agreement, Beacon, RFK Communications, LLC (“RFK”) (co-owner(co- owner of Strategic Communications, Inc.) and the members of RFK entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, whereby we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of RFK.

Strategic was a voice, video and data communication systems solutions provider. Strategic specifically provided procurement for carrier services (including voice, video, data, Internet, local and long distance telephone applications), infrastructure services (including cabling and equipment); routers, servers and hubs; telephone systems, voicemail, general technology products and maintenance support. The Company acquired certain Strategic assets because it believes the business provides it with a customer base and presence in the greater Louisville, Kentucky region and an established presence in the market for products and services needed to design and implement these types of systems.

The aggregate purchase price paid by Beacon, inclusive of direct transaction expenses, in connection with the Strategic

40


acquisition amounted to $2,208,526, including 1,125,000 shares of common stock valued at $.85 per share, $220,500 of cash, a $562,500 secured promissory note (the “Strategic Secured Note”), a $342,000 promissory note (the “Strategic Escrow Note”) and direct transaction expenses of $127,276.

We delivered the $342,000 Strategic Escrow Note (Note 10) and a stock certificate for 200,000 shares of the common stock conveyed to the members of Strategic as purchase consideration to be held in escrow (the “Strategic Escrow Shares”) for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations of members of Strategic. The specific indemnity secured a commitment on the part of the sellers in this transaction to hold Beacon harmless from its previously existing liabilities, including a $313,000 tax delinquency, since Beacon agreed to assume only $500,000 of liabilities in the transaction. The escrow agreement was to terminate and the Strategic Escrow Note and Strategic Escrow Shares were to be released to the sellers upon confirmation and to the extent that Strategic has settled the liabilities specified under such indemnification. If necessary, the amounts escrowed can be used to settle such liabilities. As discussed below, since we entered into an

BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIIONS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
arrangement with the Internal Revenue Service to pay the tax obligations of Strategic, the obligations under the Strategic Escrow Note shall be deemed discharged by such payments.

The Strategic Secured Note (Note 10) has a term of 60 months, bearing interest at 8% per annum. The Strategic Secured Note provides for monthly principal and interest payments of $11,405. If, from the closing date to the first anniversary of the closing of this transaction, the revenue generated from Strategic is less than $4.5 million, the principal amount of the Strategic Secured Note will be reduced by percentage of the actual revenue divided by the minimum threshold. At the time the Strategic Amendment became effective, we believed that the minimum threshold provided for in the Strategic Secured Note for which there would be consideration payable was probable. Due to diversion of the efforts of Richard Mills, our president and a former owner of Strategic Communications, LLC, to other opportunities in the best interest of Beacon, the Strategic Secured Note principal will remain unchanged. We may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the Strategic Secured Note. During the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, we made payments of $102,649 and $131,404 on this note representing $73,883 and $102,611 of principal and $28,766 and $28,793 of interest.

The Strategic Escrow Note bears interest at the Federal short term rate (5% as of September 30, 2008) and matures on the earlier of the final round of equity financing (as that term is defined in the Strategic Escrow Note) or December 31, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the entire principal and accrued interest will be due and payable. We may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the Strategic Escrow Note. In addition, we have agreed to pay interest and penalties that Strategic incurs related to a tax liability it incurred prior to the acquisition. At the time the acquisition was executed, the acquired assets were believed to be encumbered by an aggregate of $313,000 of tax liens as of the time of the closing of this transaction; however Strategic, as the seller in this transaction, is still the primary obligor of this liability and is still therefore primarily liable for payment of the entire balance, including penalties and interest. As described in Note 17, the remaining amount of the liens of approximately $281,000 was settled on July 1, 2008 pursuant to an agreement by and among Strategic Communications LLC, Beacon, and the Internal Revenue Service.

On July 1, 2008, we entered into an installment payment plan (“Installment Agreement”) by and among the former owners of Strategic and the Internal Revenue Service to settle the Strategic tax liens. The agreement requires us to pay $50,000 upon signing and $50,000 the 15thof each month beginning in July until the approximate $281,000 balance is paid in full along with any further interest and penalties that accrue during the term of the agreement. Based on estimates provided by the Internal Revenue Service, the remaining interest and penalties that have not been accrued to date will amount to approximately $12,000. The Company does not deem this amount to be significant to the original acquisition transaction and is therefore expensing such penalties and interest over the remaining term of the agreement as incurred. During the year ended September 30, 2008, we paid and settled $412,449 of obligations to taxing authorities on behalf of Strategic Communications, its former owners and principals to settle state and local tax liens, as well as payments to settle portions of the outstanding federal tax obligations payable at the time of the acquisition. Amounts paid in settlement include $54,119 paid directly from closing proceeds and $358,330 as a reduction of Notes. The remaining balance due under the Installment Agreement, including interest and penalties accrued to date, was $85,960 and $0 as of September 30, 2008. Based on communication with the Internal Revenue Service the remaining estimated interest2008 and penalties that will accrue prior to the last payment will be approximately $4,000.

2009. Since the aggregate tax liens were in excess of the $313,000 originally estimated, concurrently with the execution of the Installment Agreement, pursuant to our right of offset between the Strategic Escrow Note and Strategic Secured Note, we entered into an amendment to the Strategic Secured Note reducing the balance by $89,000 and increasing the balance of the Strategic Escrow Note

to compensate for the difference between the remaining balance of tax liens due the Internal Revenue Service. The Company will continue to pay the Strategic Secured Note payments of $11,405 per month, the effect of which will result in a shortened pay-off period.

the note being repaid ahead of its scheduled maturity.

Beginning December 21, 2007, the day immediately following the effective date of the transaction, the financial results of Strategic were consolidated with those of our business. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS 141, whereby a preliminary valuation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was performed as of December 20, 2007. Based on the final valuation, the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets acquired amounted to $723,509 and was recorded as goodwill, subsequently adjusted to $821,994 as of September 30, 2008, upon final review of the estimated fair values of the assets purchased and

liabilities assumed in the transaction. Other separately identifiable intangibles consisting of customer relationships and non-compete agreements amounted to an estimated aggregate fair value of $1,340,400.

Business Combination Accounting — Phase 1 Acquisitions

Beacon accounted for the acquisitions of ADSnetcurve, Bell-Haun, CETCON and Strategic using the purchase method of accounting prescribed under SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.”which was then the effective standard of accounting for business combinations completed prior to January 1. 2009. Under the purchase method, the acquiring enterprise records any purchase consideration issued to the sellers of the acquired business at their fair values. The aggregate of the fair value of the purchase consideration plus any direct transaction expenses incurred by the acquiring enterprise is allocated to the assets acquired (including any separately identifiable intangibles) and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of cost of the acquired entities over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill and other intangible assets.goodwill. The results of operations for each of the acquired companies following the dates of each of the business combination (which was December 20, 2007) are included in our consolidated results of operations for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008.2008 and 2009. We evaluated each of the aforementioned transactions to identify the acquiring entity as required under SFAS 141 for business combinations effected through an exchange of equity interests. Based on such evaluation we determined that we were the acquiring entity in each transaction (and cumulatively for all transactions) as (1) the larger portion of the relative voting rights in each of the acquired business and in the combined business as a whole was retained by the existing Beacon stockholders, (2) there are no significant minority interests or organized groups of interests carried over from the acquired entities that could exercise significant influence over the operating policies or management decisions of the combined entity, (3) the sellers in each of these transactions have no participation on the board of directors nor are they involved in any corporate governance functions of the combined entity and (4) a majority of the Senior Management positions in the combined entity, including those of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Accounting Officer, were retained by officers of Beacon both prior and subsequent to the business combination. Thecombination .The following table provides a breakdown of the purchase prices of each of the acquired businesses including the fair value of purchase consideration issued to the sellers of the acquired business and direct transaction expenses incurred by us in connection with consummating these transactions:

The fair value of common stock issued to the sellers as purchase consideration was determined to be $.85 per share based on the selling prices of equity securities issued by Beacon in the Private Placement Transaction described in Note 14. The fair value of note obligations issued to the sellers as purchase consideration is considered to be equal to their principal amounts because such notes feature interest rates that are deemed to be comparable for instruments of similar credit risk. Transaction expenses, which include legal fees and transaction advisory services directly related to the acquisitions, amounted to approximately $630,000. Such fees included legal, accounting and business broker fees paid in cash.

Beacon also evaluated all post combination payments payable or potentially payable to the sellers of the acquired business as either contingent consideration or compensation under applicable employment agreements

to determine their proper characterization

in accordance with EITF 95-8 “Accounting for Contingent Consideration Issued in a Purchase Business Combination.”characterization. We determined that potential contingent consideration payable to certain sellers of the acquired businesses upon the attainment of certain pre-defined financial milestones should be accounted for as additional purchase consideration because there are no future services required on the part of such sellers in order for them to be entitled to those payments. In addition, we deem these payments to be a component of the implied value of the acquired businesses for which payment would be made based on financial performance. Conversely, any payments to be made to certain sellers of the acquired businesses under their respective employment agreements are deemed to be compensation for post combination services because such payments, which management believes are comparable to amounts for similar employment services, require the continuation of post-combination employment services.

Purchase Price Allocation — Phase 1 Acquisitions

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total preliminary purchase price was allocated to each of the acquired entities, net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of December 20, 2007. The final allocation of the purchase price for these four acquisitions is set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill.

We considered our intention for future use of the acquired assets, analyses of the historical financial performance of each of the acquired businesses and estimates of future performance of each acquired businesses’ products and services in deriving the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Our final determination of the purchase price allocation resulted in changes to the amounts reflected in our preliminary estimate and estimated useful lives of acquired assets. However, none of the adjustments were significant.

Symbiotec Solutions AG
On July 29, 2009, BESG Ireland Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Beacon, acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Symbiotec Solution AG (Symbiotec) in exchange for 400,000 shares of Beacon common stock issued as of the date of the acquistion, plus contingent consideration consisting of an additional 400,000 shares of Beacon common stock and up to $145,189 of cash subject to the attainment of certain contractually defined earnings targets. We recorded the contingent consideration as part of the purchase price on the date of the acquisition since it is probable that the acquired businesss will meet its earnings targets over the one year measurement period. Beacon acquired Symbiotec as an integral part of our plan to establish a presence in Europe where we are currently serving a significant customer. For the period July 29, 2009 to September 30, 2009, we recognized revenue of approximately $1.0 million and net income of approximately $0.4 million, which is included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2009.

Beacon also evaluated all post combination payments payable or potentially payable to the sellers of the acquired business as either contingent consideration or compensation under applicable employment agreements to determine their proper characterization. We determined that potential contingent consideration payable to sellers of the acquired businesses upon the attainment of certain contractually defined earnings targets should be accounted for as additional purchase consideration because there are no future services required on the part of the sellers in order for them to be entitled to those payments. In addition, we deem these payments to be a component of the implied value of the acquired businesses for which payment would be made based on financial performance.

The above noted intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. Customer relationships had beenare being amortized over a 1015 year useful life, contracts not to compete had been amortized over a 2 year useful life and tradenames had been amortized over a 5 year useful life, based on the estimated economic benefit. Upon completion of our valuation of the Phase I Acquisitions we determined that the Tradenames would not have any future economic benefit, adjusted the customer relationships and contracts not to compete accordingly and will adjust the amortization periods prospectively to a 15 year useful life for customer relationships and a 1 year useful life for covenants not to compete. The final determination of the values of definite lived intangible assets were not significantly different, in the aggregate, from our preliminary estimates. Amortization expense for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 was $501,357.

$501,357 and $460,993.

Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the potential impact of these conditions on our business, if forecasted revenue and margin growth rates of the reporting unit are not achieved, it is reasonably possible that an impairment review may be triggered for goodwill and amortizable intangible assets prior to the next annual review.

Lines of Credit
On June 11, 2008, Beacon and Integra Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $200,000 at a 6.00% annual interest rate with principal due on August 11, 2008. The proceeds of the note were used as short term working capital collateralized by certain customer accounts receivables balances. The credit facility plus interest of $2,033 was paid in full on August 11, 2008.
On August 20, 2008, Beacon and one of our directors, entered into a credit facility under which we borrowed $100,000 at a 12.00% annual interest rate the principal of which is not due on any specific date. We also paid a 1.00% origination fee upon initiation of the credit facility. The proceeds of the credit facility were used as short term working capital collateralized by our accounts receivable. We have accrued $2,400 of interest expense related to this credit facility during the year ended September 30, 2008 which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. The principal balance due under this note amounted to $100,000 at September 30, 2008. This credit facility was fully repaid during the year ended September 30, 2009.
On September 4, 2008, Beacon and First Savings Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $100,000 at a 5.00% annual interest rate the principal of which was payable on September 29, 2008. The term of the credit facility was extended to December 29, 2008. On December 29, 2008 the note was converted into an installment obligation due in two payments of $50,000 each on January 15, 2009 and February 15, 2009 with interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. On March 31, 2009, we executed a further extension of this note due in two payments of $50,000 each on May 15, 2009 and June 15, 2009. We repaid $50,000 of the note on May 15, 2009. On July 24, 2009 the maturity date of the remaining $50,000 balance of this note was extended through August 31, 2009. On October 29, 2009 the maturity date of the remaining $50,000 balance was further extended through December 30, 2009. We recorded $891 and $2,337 of interest expense related to this credit facility during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
On October 29, November 17 and November 19, 2008, Beacon and Midian Properties, LLC, entered into short term credit facilities in the amounts of $100,000, $120,000 and $70,000, respectively, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 0.5% origination fee.

These amounts were paid back in full. On March 27, 2009, Beacon and Midian, entered into a short term credit facility in the amount of $53,000, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 1% origination fee. This credit facility has been fully repaid.
On August 7, 2009, we entered into a non-interest bearing note with one of our directors in the amount of $500,000 in exchange for a commitment fee of $25,000, recognized as interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2009, paid on August 10, – NOTE PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT2009. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, we exercised a contractual right to convert the note into a demand obligation that would become payable within a 5 day period following written notice of such demand. We paid a fee equal to $87,500 in cash and issued an additional 112,500 common stock purchase warrants exercisable for $1.00 per share to the lender upon the occurrence of this event.
Convertible Notes Payable
On January 22, 2009, Beacon entered into convertible notes payable with a group of private investors (the “Notes”) facilitated by a broker/dealer. Proceeds of the Notes were $500,000 in the aggregate of which the broker/dealer received a cash commission of $50,000 and a non-accountable expense reimbursement of $25,000. The proceeds were used to repay certain other short term credit obligations and for working capital purposes. The Notes have a maturity date of July 21, 2009 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 12.5% due monthly. The Notes have been extended to January 21, 2010 and as such bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15% from the original maturity date to the extended maturity date due monthly along with principal payments of 16.67% of the principal due monthly from the original maturity date through the extended maturity date until paid in full. The Notes can be prepaid at any time on or after March 21, 2009 in whole or in part upon 30 days prior written notice to the holders without penalty. The holders may convert these notes into shares of Beacon Common Stock, par value $0.001, at the rate of $0.75 per share in minimum increments of $5,000. Each of the note holders also received a five-year warrant to purchase one share of Beacon Common Stock (the “Note Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share per $10 of note principal (50,000 shares in the aggregate). The Notes contain certain provisions in the event of default that could result in acceleration of payment of the entire balance including accrued and unpaid interest. Acceleration of these note in the event of default would also result in the interest rate increasing by 0.4166% per event. We repaid $202,001 in principal and recognized $42,958 of interest expense and $75,000 of non-cash interest expense for accretion of the discount related to the broker fee and non-accountable expense reimbursement during the year ended September 30, 2009.
The fair value of the Note Warrants which amounted to approximately $20,500, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions relating to the estimated fair value of the Note Warrants are as follows: fair value of common stock of $.80 on the commitment date of January 22, 2009; risk-free interest rate of 1.61%; expected dividend yield of zero percent; expected life of 1,825 days through January 30, 2014; and current volatility of 66.34%. Accordingly, we recorded aggregate discounts of $74,334 to the face value of the Notes based upon the relative fair values of the notes and the warrants and the effects of a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price is $.72 per share calculated in accordance with the guidelines of ASC 470. The discount is being accreted over the life of the Notes of 6 months from the date of issuance on January 22, 2009. Accretion amounted to $74,334 through September 30, 2009 and is included as a component of interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
We evaluated the conversion options embedded in the Notes to determine whether they should be bifurcated from their host instruments and accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments. We determined that the debt is conventional debt. Accordingly the conversion feature is being accounted for as an embedded conversion option.

Bridge Financing Transactions

On July 16, 2007, Beacon entered into a $500,000 Bridge Financing Facility provided by two of our founding stockholders who are also twodirectors of our directors.Company. The terms of the facility provideprovided for the founding stockholders/directors to make up to $500,000 of advances to us on a discretionary basis at any time prior to the closing of an equity offering in which gross proceeds are at least $4,000,000 (the “Qualified Offering”). As of September 30, 2008, the entire facility had been drawn down of which $278,000 of the proceeds were received prior to September 30, 2007 and the remaining $222,000 of proceeds were received during the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Advances under this facility bear interest at the Prime Rate (5.00% as of September 30, 2008) per annum and were to originally mature (i) in the event a Qualified Offering did not occur on or prior to December 31, 2007, on December 31, 2007; or (ii) in the event a Qualified Offering occurred prior to December 31, 2007, on demand at any time following the completion of the offering but not more than twenty-four (24) months after the date of the closing of the Qualified Offering. Certain warrants described below that we issued to the note holders would vest for each month repayment iswas deferred. In December 2007, we were informed that only a portion of the Private Placement described in Note 14 (which would have satisfied the requirement to complete a Qualified Offering) would be completed by December 31, 2007. Based on this development, the note holders agreed, on December 28, 2007, not to demand repayment of the notes before the completion of the Private Placement or December 31, 2008, whichever came first. On May 15, 2008, the noteholders agreed not to demand repayment of the notes before the completion of an offering in which we raise at least $3 million of additional equity financing or April 1, 2009, whichever comes first. On November 20, 2008, the noteholders agreed unconditionally not to demand repayment of the notes before June 30, 2010. Accordingly, the notes are included in non-current liabilities at September 30, 2008.

     As

The effectiveness of September 30, 2008,the conversion option in the notes arewas contingent on the completion of the qualified offering, which occurred February 12, 2008. The notes immediately became convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $.60 per share, or into the number and type of such equity securities into which the shares otherwise issuable upon such conversion are converted or exchanged under the terms of a merger, exchange or reorganization consummated by us prior to or at the time of a Qualified Offering. Unpaid principal is payable in cash or stock at the option of the holder if the conversion option is effected and all unpaid accrued interest is payable in cash only.

We evaluated the conversion option stipulated in the Bridge Financing Facility to determine whether it requires immediate accounting recognition and whether under SFAS 133, such conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a free standing derivative in accordance with EITF 00-19.derivative. In performing this analysis, we determined that the conversion option, which is fixed and therefore conventional, under EITF 05-2, provides the founding stockholders/directors with the right to convert any advances outstanding under the Bridge Financing Facility into shares of our common stock at anytime upon or after the completion of a Qualified Offering. The Private PlacementQualified offering was completed on February 12, 2008. The conversion option wasout-of-the-money, having a fair value of common stock $0.002 per share (as compared to an exercise price of $0.60 per share) as of the commitment date of July 16, 2007 and thereforewhich is not considered beneficial.

In connection with the issuance of the Bridge Financing Facility, we issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants allow the holders to purchase up to 865,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, of which 625,000 are immediately exercisable. The remaining 240,000 Warrants (the “Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants”) vest and become exercisable at a rate of 10,000 shares on the 15th15th of each month from the date of a Qualified Offering until the maturity date of the Bridge Financing Facility for each month that the demand for payment is deferred. Upon full conversion of the advances into shares of Beacon common stock or upon the final maturity date, all remaining unvested Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants will automatically vest and become exercisable. If the founding stockholders/directors require prepayment of the advances after the completion of a Qualified Offering but prior to the final maturity date, all remaining unvested Warrants will be forfeited and canceled. The Warrants

expire on June 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2008, 80,000 Warrants had vested under the terms of the Bridge Financing Facility.

The fair value of the Warrants, exercisable into 625,000 share of common stock, which amounted to $0, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions relating to the estimated fair value of the Warrants are as follows: fair value of common stock of $.002 on the commitment date of July 16, 2007; risk-free interest rate of 4.95%; expected dividend yield of zero percent; life of five years; and current volatility of 66.34%.

The final closing of the Private Placement was completed on February 12, 2008. Accordingly, the founding stockholders/directors have the right to demand repayment of these notes in cash at any time after February 12, 2008. From the date of the final closing of the Private Placement on February 12, 2008, the founding stockholders/directors may also (at their option) convert the outstanding principal into 833,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share and receive cash payment of accrued and unpaid interest. In addition to the above, vesting commenced on the Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants on February 12, 2008. We recorded $55,700 of non-cash interest expense related to the remaining 80,000 Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants that vested and became exercisable during the year ended September 30, 2008.2008, All Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants became fully vested on November 20, 2008, the date in which the holders agreed to not demand repayment prior to June 30, 2010. The aggregate charge for Contingent Bridge Facility warrants vested during the year ended September 30, 2009 amounted to $40,600. The fair value of the vested Contingent Bridge Facility Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model as detailed in the following table:

Bridge Financing Facility exercised their right to convert the entire amount of the principal due under these notes into 833,334 shares of common stock.

On November 15, 2007, we issued $200,000 of convertible notes payable (the “Bridge Notes”) in a separate debt financing. Of this amount, $100,000 of the Bridge Notes was issued to one of the directors of Beacon. These Bridge Notes were issued under terms substantially identical to the terms stipulated under the Bridge Financing Facility described above. The holders of the Bridge Notes also agreed, on December 28, 2007, not to demand repayment of these notes before the completion of the Private Placement described in

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Note 14 or December 31, 2008, whichever came first. On March 15, 2008, the noteholders agreed not to demand repayment of the notes before the completion of an offering in which the Company raises at least $3 million of additional equity financing or April 1, 2009, whichever comes first. On November 20, 2008, the noteholders agreed unconditionally not to demand repayment of the notes before June 30, 2010. Accordingly, the notes are included in non-current liabilities at September 30, 2008. The effect of the change in the maturity dates of these notes was insignificant to our financial results.

We evaluated the conversion option stipulated in the Bridge Notes (which has terms identical to the conversion option featured in the Bridge Financing Facility described above) to determine whether it requires immediate accounting recognition and whether under SFAS 133, such conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a free standing derivative in accordance with EITF 00-19.. In performing this analysis, we determined that the conversion option, which is fixed and therefore conventional, under EITF 05-2, providesprovided the founding stockholders/directors with the right to convert any advances outstanding under the Bridge Notes into shares of our common stock at anytime upon or after the completion of the Qualified Offering on February 12, 2008.

In connection with the issuance of the Bridge Notes, we also issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Note“Bridge Note Warrants”). The Note Warrants allow the holders to purchase up to 346,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, of which 250,000 are immediately exercisable. The remaining 96,000 Note Warrants (the “Contingent Bridge Note Warrants”) vest and become exercisable at a rate of 4,000 shares per month from the date of a Qualified Offering (if completed) until the maturity date of the Bridge Notes for each month that the demand for repayment of the principal balance is deferred. Upon full conversion of the principal into shares of our common stock or upon the final maturity date, all remaining unvested Note Warrants will automatically vest and become exercisable. If the note holders require prepayment of the principal after the completion of a Qualified Offering but prior to the final maturity date, all remaining unvested Note Warrants will be forfeited and canceled. The Warrants expire on June 30, 2012.

The fair value of the Bridge Note Warrants, exercisable into 250,000 shares of common stock, which amounted to $112,500, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions relating to the estimated fair value of the Warrants are as follows: fair value of common stock of $.85 on the commitment date of November 15, 2007; risk-free interest rate of 3.71%; expected dividend yield of zero percent; expected life of 1,689 days through June 30, 2012; and current volatility of 66.34%. Accordingly, we discountedrecorded a $72,000 discount to the face value of the Bridge Notes and corresponding increase to $128,000 and recorded an attributable equity value of $72,000additional paid in capital based upon the original issuancerelative fair values of the Bridge Notes in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” (“APB 14”).the Note Warrants. The discount related to the Bridge Note Warrants is being accreted over the estimated lifecontracted term of the Bridge Notes of 2.27 years from the date of issuance on November 15, 2007.

The effectiveness of the conversion option embedded in the Bridge Notes was contingent upon the completion of a Qualified offering. The final closing of the Private Placement was completed on February 12, 2008. Accordingly, the holders of the Bridge Notes have the right to demand repayment of these notes in cash at any time after February 12, 2008 or convert, at their option, the outstanding principal into 333,333 shares of our common stock and receive cash payment of accrued and unpaid interest. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the Bridge Notes was determined to be approximately $0.47 per share or an aggregate of $156,169 representing more than 100% of the remaining undiscounted face value of the Bridge Notes. Accordingly, an additional discount of $128,000 to the face value of the Bridge Notes was recorded for the beneficial conversion feature of the Bridge Notes. The discount related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Bridge Notes will beis being accreted over the two-yearremaining contractual term of the Notes. In addition, vesting commenced on the Contingent Bridge Note Warrants on February 12, 2008.

We recorded contractual interest expense of $10,156 and $6,900 for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 under this arrangement which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. In addition, we recorded

accretion of the Bridge Note Warrant discount to fair value of $30,628 for the year ended September 30, 2008.2009. We recorded accretion of the discount of the remaining value of the Bridge Notes related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Bridge Notes of $40,532$30,628 and $95,717 for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008.2008 and 2009, respectively which is classified as a component of interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.

Lines of Credit

     On June 11, 2008, Beacon and Integra Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $200,000 at a 6.00% annual interest rate with principal due on August 11, 2008. The proceeds of the note were used as short term working capital collateralized by certain customer engagements and the receivables expected to be generated there from. Cash collections related to the collateralized customer engagements were used to repay the note. The credit facility plus interest of $2,033 was paid in full on August 11, 2008.

     On August 20, 2008, Beacon and one of our directors, entered into a credit facility under which we borrowed $100,000 at a 12.00% annual interest rate the principal of which is not due on any specific date. We also paid a 1.00% origination fee upon initiation of the credit facility. The proceeds of the credit facility were used as short term working capital collateralized by our accounts receivable. We have accrued $2,400 of interest expense related to this credit facility during the year ended September 30, 2008 which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements.

     On September 4, 2008, Beacon and First Savings Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $100,000 at a 5.00% annual interest rate the principal of which was payable on September 29, 2008. The term of the credit facility has been extended between First Savings Bank and us with no specific termination date. The proceeds of the note were used as short term working capital collateralized by our accounts receivable.

Integra Bank

On March 14, 2008, Beacon and Integra Bank entered into a credit facility, under which we borrowed $600,000 at a 6.25% annual interest rate with monthly payments of $11,696 over a 60 month term that matures on March 12, 2013. The first payment was made on April 14, 2008. The proceeds of the note were used to repay the three previously outstanding notes assumed in the acquisitions, two of which were in default due to change in control provisions. We also used a portion of the proceeds from the new installment obligation to refinance $195,000 of previously outstanding indebtedness due to the same creditor. The effect of having refinanced the previous indebtedness with this same creditor was insignificant to our consolidated financial statements and therefore iswas not deemed to be a constructive extinguishment of the previous balance in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.”balance. Accordingly, no gain or loss has been recognized. During the year ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 we paid $70,178 and $140,415, respectively of which $51,938 and $109,220 represented principal payments and $18,240 and $31,195 represented interest. We recognized $19,930 and $31,216 of interest expense related to this obligation of which $1,690 and $1,811 was in accrued expenses at September 30, 2008.

As described in Note 3, we evaluated the conversion options embedded in the Series A securities to determine (in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19)ASC 815) whether they should be bifurcated from their host instruments and accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments. We determined in accordance with SFAS 133, that the risks and rewards of the common shares underlying the conversion feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host instrument. Accordingly the conversion features are being accounted for as embedded conversion options in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27.options. During the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, based on an evaluation of the beneficial conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Shares, we recorded deemed dividends of $2,483,715.$2,483,715 and $157,655. The table below lists the detailed fair value of the warrants issued in each of the three closings of the Series A Preferred Stock Private Placement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
As described in Note 3, we apply the classification and measurement principles enumerated in EITF Topic D-98ASC 815 with respect to accounting for our issuances of the Series A preferred stock. We are required, under Nevada law, to obtain the approval of our board of directors in order to effectuate a merger, consolidation or similar event resulting in a more than 50% change in control or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The board of directors is then required to submit proposals to enter into these types of transactions to our stockholders for their approval by majority vote. The preferred stockholders do not currently (i) control or have representation on our Board of Directorsand/or (ii) have sufficient voting rights to control a redemption of these shares by either of these events. In addition the effectuation of any transaction or series of transactions resulting in a more than 50% change in control can be made only by us in our sole discretion. Based on these provisions, we classified the Series A preferred shares as permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet because the liquidation events are deemed to be within our sole control in accordance with the provisions of EITF Topic D-98.

We evaluate the Series A convertible preferred stock at each reporting date for appropriate balance sheet classification.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock Placement

On March 7 and 11, 2008, we issued, in two closing of a Private Placement transaction, an aggregate of 800 shares of ourSeries A-1 convertible preferred stock and 533,333 five year common stock purchase warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share for net proceeds of $599,850 (gross proceeds of $800,000 less offering costs of $200,150). Offering costs included fees paid to the placement agent of $104,000, a fee for the successful completion of the placement of $60,000 paid to a related party and $36,150 in legal and related fees in addition to warrants to purchase 208,000 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share with a 5 year term. TheSeries A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time, at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $.75 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, dilutive issuances and other anti-dilution provisions, including circumstances in which we, at our discretion, issue equity securities or convertible instruments that feature prices lower than the conversion price specified for shares ofSeries A-1 Preferred Stock. TheSeries A-1 Preferred Stock is also automatically convertible into shares of our common stock, at the then applicable conversion price upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock yielding aggregate proceeds of not less than $20 million or under certain other circumstances when the trading volume and average trading prices of the stock attain certain specified levels.

For the year ended September 30, 2009, 159 shares ofSeries A-1 with a stated value of $158,598 were converted to 211,464 of common stock. Additionally 111 shares ofSeries A-1, with a stated value of $110,945 were issued aspaid-in-kind dividends.
As described in Note 3, we evaluated the conversion options embedded in theSeries A-1 securities to determine (in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19)ASC 815) whether they should be bifurcated from their host instruments and accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments. We determined in accordance with SFAS 133, that the risks and rewards of the common shares underlying the conversion feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host instrument. Accordingly the conversion features are being accounted for as embedded conversion options in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27.options. During the year ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, based on an evaluation of the beneficial conversion feature of theSeries A-1 Preferred Shares, the Company recorded deemed dividends of $1,411,882.

The director concurrently authorized us to issue 300 shares of preferred stock in exchange for this note and an additional $100,000 note issued prior to December 31, 2009.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Series A Private Placement,Series A-1 Private Placement and Series B Private Placement, we agreed to file with the SEC as soon as is practicable after completion of the offering a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) and use our best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective not later than June 30, 2008. The Registration Statement would register for resale (i) the shares of our common stock underlying the units sold in the Private Placement (the “Units”) and (ii) the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issued to the investors and agents in these Private Placements. We agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to have such “resale” Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than June 30, 2008 and to pay penalties for failure to have the Registration Statement declared effective at that date. On April 18, 2008, the Placement Agent waived the registration right and potential penalty subject to consent of 60% of the holders of the Series A,Series A-1 and Series B Preferred Stock which was subsequently obtained.

Completion of Share Exchange Transaction

     On December 20, 2007, pursuant to the Share Exchange transaction between Suncrest and Beacon (IN), Beacon (IN) exchanged 9,194,900 shares of Beacon (IN) common stock and 2,433.9 shares of Beacon (IN) Series A preferred stock for 9,194,900 shares of Suncrest common stock and 2,433.9 shares of Suncrest Series A preferred stock. The shareholders of Suncrest, prior to the recapitalization, held 3,003,847 shares of which they returned 1,730,726 for cancellation and retained 1,273,121 shares of the recapitalized company. Immediately following the Share Exchange transaction, there were 10,468,121 shares of common stock outstanding, including 9,194,900 shares held by Beacon (IN)’s existing stockholders and 1,273,121 shares held by the stockholders of Suncrest. As described in Note 1, the Share Exchange has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Beacon (IN) into Suncrest because the existing Beacon (IN) stockholders retained a majority interest in the combined enterprise. We paid a $305,000 fee to the stockholders of Suncrest in connection with completing the Share Exchange Transaction which is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Restricted Stock Grant

On December 5, 2007, we issued 782,250 shares of restricted common stock with an aggregate fair value of $666,873 to our president in exchange for $156. Immediately upon the sale 150,000 shares vested with the remaining shares vesting in quantities of 210,750 shares on each of December 20, 2008, 2009 and 2010. We account for share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,ASC 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires us to expense the fair value of grants made under the share based compensation programs over the vesting period of each individual agreement. Awards granted are valued and non-cash share-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). We recognize non-cash share-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period which generally equals the vesting period of awards, adjusted for expected forfeitures. We recognized $266,693 and $179,422 of non-cash share-based compensation expense during the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, in connection with such grants. Unamortized compensation under this arrangement amounted to $400,024 and $220,602 as of September 30, 2008 and 2009 and will be amortized over the remaining vesting period of 3 years.period. The shares vest immediately upon our termination without cause or the Executive’s resignation if in response to certain defined actions taken by us adverse to Executive’s employment which constitute good reason as defined in the Executive’s employment agreement. In the event of termination for cause, or resignation without good reason, we have the right to repurchase any unvested shares for nominal consideration.

Compensatory Warrants Issuance

On March 26, 2008, Beacon issued warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share with a five-year term to one of our directors. Accordingly, we recognized $219,000 of share-based compensation expense for the year ended September 30, 2008 based on the fair value of the warrants on the grant date. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

SaleSales of Common Stock and Warrants

On July 25, 2008, we engaged a registered broker-dealer (the “Placement Agent”) in a private placement of up to 3,750,000 units (the “Common Units”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock (each, an “Common Offering Warrant”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (collectively the “Common Offering”). In the event that the Common Offering is oversubscribed, we may sell and issue up to an additional 562,500 Common Units.

BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIIONS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Common Offering Warrants each have a five year exercise period and an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, payable in cash on the exercise date or cashless conversion if a registration statement or current prospectus covering the resale of the shares underlying the Common Offering Warrants is not effective or available at any time more than six months after the date of issuance of the Common Offering Warrants. The exercise price is subject to adjustment upon certain occurrences specified in the Common Offering Warrants.

As of September 30, 2008, we have sold 1,625,000 Common Units to accredited investors for net proceeds of $1,063,726 (an aggregate purchase price of $1,300,000 less direct offering costs of $264,784)$236,784). Direct offering costs included placement agent commissions of $130,000, non-accountable placement agent expenses of $36,500, legal expenses of $47,965, success fees of $39,000 payable to one of our founders, and printing and blue sky fees of $11,319, We have used the proceeds of the Common Offering to

provide working capital. In addition, the Placement Agent has earned warrants to purchase an aggregate of 243,750 shares of Common Stock.

On November 12, 2008, we engaged the Placement Agent in a private placement (the “November Common Offering”) of up to 3,750,000 Common Units for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of $ .80 per unit Common Stock (each, an “Common Offering Warrant “). For the year ended September 30, 2009 an anti-dilution provision of the stock offering resulted in a requirement to issue an additional 285,139 shares of common stock at par value $0.001 or $285.14.
On June 10, 2009 Beacon commenced a Private Placement of up to $600,000 of common units at a price of $.80 per unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock (each, an “Common Offering Warrant”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (collectively the “Common Offering”).
On September 18, 2009 Beacon commenced a Private Placement of up to $3,000,000 of common units at a price of $.80 per unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock (each, an “Common Offering Warrant”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (collectively the “Common Offering”).
The Common Offering Warrants each have a five year exercise period and an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, payable in cash on the exercise date or cashless conversion if a registration statement or current prospectus covering the resale of the shares underlying the Common Offering Warrants is not effective or available at any time more than six months after the date of issuance of the Common Offering Warrants. All of the warrants issued in the June 2008, November 2008 and June 2009 private placements feature standard anti dilution provisions for stock splits, stock dividends and similar types of recapitalization events. These warrants also feature weighted average price protection for subsequent issuances of equity securities at prices more favorable than the exercise price stipulated in these warrants. In addition, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement for the resale of any all shares issued and shares underlying common stock purchase warrants issued in these private placements. These registration rights do not provide for the Company to incur any penalties for its failure to file, cause or maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements; however, the Company is subject to a penalty in the amount of 2% of the gross proceeds per month in the event it fails to maintain compliance with the Exchange Act reporting requirements. The Company believes it is probable that it will not incur any such penalties.
During the year ended September 30, 2009, we sold an aggregate of 6,853,497 Common Units, under all of these offerings, to accredited investors for net proceeds of $4,346,675 (gross proceeds of $5,485,249 less offering costs of $1,138,574). Offering costs included fees paid to the placement agent of $859,146, a fee for the successful completion of the placement of $156,987 paid to a consultant and $122,441 legal and related

Stock Options and Other Equity Compensation Plans

In March 2008, our Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to shareholderstockholder approval, referred to as the 2008 Incentive Plan. The 2008 Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 16, 2009. We reserved 1,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2008 Incentive Plan and for other compensatory equity grants for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and performance awards, pursuant to which certain options will be granted. The terms and conditions of such awards are determined at the sole discretion of our board of directors or a committee designated by the Board to administer the plan. Previously unissued shares of our common stock are provided to a participant upon a participant’s exercise of vested options.

     Effective December 20, 2007, we account for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,”carry a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and superseding APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which requires us to expense the fair value of grants made under the stock option program over the vesting period of each individual option agreement. Awards that are granted after the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) are valued and non-cash share-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). No non-vested awards were granted before the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R). We recognize non-cash share-based compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period which generally equals the vesting period of options, adjusted for expected forfeitures.

     In accordance with SFAS 123(R), we recognized non-cash share-based compensation expenses as follows:

 Year ended

Share-Based Compensation Expense

ten year contractual term.
We calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In determining the expected term, we separate groups of employees that have historically exhibited similar behavior with regard to option exercises and post-vesting cancellations. The option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, such as those listed below.included in the table above. The volatility rates are based on historical stock prices of similarly situated companies and expectations of the future volatility of our common stock. The expected life of options granted areis based on historical data, which, asupon the average of September 30, 2008 is a partial option life cycle, adjusted for the remaining option life cycle by assuming ratable exercise of any unexercised vested options over the remainingvesting and contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The total expense to be recorded in future periods will depend on several variables, including the number of share-based awards.

The weighted average grant date fair valuesvalue of options we granted were estimated onduring the date of grant using the following assumptions:years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 amounted to $0.70 and $0.75 per share respectively.

Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280 “Segment Reporting,” our operating segments are those components of our business for which separate and discreet financial information is available and is used by our chief operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how we allocate resources and assess performance.
Prior to our acquisition of Symbiotec (Note 4) we operated as a single segment. In accordance with ASC 280, the Company reports two operating segments, as a result of having complete the Symbiotec acquisition on July 29, 2009. The Company’s chief decision-makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and operating profit each year by operating segment. This information is used for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment data includes segment revenue, segment operating profitability, and total assets by segment. Shared corporate operating expenses are reported in the U.S. segment.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated and communicated to our executive officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 30, 2008,2009, our Chief Executive Officer, who acts in the capacity of principal executive officer and our Chief Accounting Officer who acts in the capacity of principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers 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 the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated 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.

In connection with the preparation of our annual consolidated financial statements, management has undertaken an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 20082009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.

Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2008.

2009.

Beacon is the successor to Suncrest Global Energy Corp.’s obligation to provide management’s report on internal controls in accordance with Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We were a privately owned company with no operations when we merged with Suncrest Global Energy Corp. on December 20, 2007 in a transaction that was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization. We simultaneously

completed the acquisition of four privately owned businesses that are not subject to the 404a assessment. Notwithstanding the timing and structure of these transactions, the acquired business, which comprised 100% of our revenues, were integrated into our businessoperations, and wereare therefore included in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

     This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Disclosure controls are designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported and our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, including all applicable SEC regulations.

As of December 31, 2007,September 30, 2008, we had identified certain matters that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. Pursuant to the closing of the Phase I Acquisitions on December 20, 2007, we acquired four businesses with distinctly separate internal control structures. These internal control structures have been combined and streamlined to correct certain existingreporting, specific material weaknesses including lack ofinclude the fact that we have limited segregation of duties inadequate internaland have experienced difficulty in applying complex accounting information systemsprinciples including those related to stock based compensation, stockholders equity accounting, income taxes and limited qualified accounting staff. As ofbusiness combinations.. Since September 30, 2008, we were also still experiencing problems recording our inventory as a result of having to combine data from the legacy systems of acquired businesses. Accordingly our systems and personnel were insufficient to support the complexity of our financial reporting requirements. Since December 31, 2007, we have taken certain steps in an effort to correct these material weaknesses thatwhich include consolidatingundertaking a review of our systems and engaging a consultant to assist in the upgrade of our accounting functions on a single unified Accounting Information Technology Solutionsystems and undertaking a coordinatedimplementation of additional controls. We have hired an additional accounting and operating policy documentation processresource to fully implement controls and procedures. During this process, our compensatory controls include having our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer perform detailed reviewsassist in completion of our accountsinternal control matrix and financial statement disclosures to ensure the accuracy and completeness offurther strengthen our financial reports.controls. Although we believe that these steps have enabled us to improve our internal controls, and our ability to correct material weaknesses, additional time is still required to fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness.

effectiveness before we can definitively conclude that we have remediated our more significant deficiencies.

We have migrated our accounting systems to Microsoft Dynamics GP including the modules that assist with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Additionally, we have implemented a control matrix and software to identify our critical internal accounting controls and measure compliance on a month to month basis to ensure our controls are effective. In addition, we have implemented further controls to aid and improve our inventory systems to ensure they are operating effectively and added controls over revenue recognition to ensure appropriate compliance with current accounting standards. Finally, we have hired an additional accounting resource, bringing the number of Certified Public Accountants on our staff to three, to assist in the day to day accounting functions. We believe that our internal controlscontrol risks are partially mitigated by the fact that our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer review and approve substantially all of our major transactions and we have, when needed, hired outside experts to assist us with implementing complex accounting principles.principles such as income tax accounting, stock holders equity and business combinations. We believe that our weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls relate primarily to the fact that we are an emerging business with limited personnel. Our Chief Accounting Officer was our only employee with SEC reporting experience at the time of the close of the Phase I Acquisitions. We have employed an additional Certified Public Accountant as our Director of Financial Reporting who has limited SEC reporting experience. In addition,Finally, we have implemented disclosure controls and an internal control framework including software assisted compliance controls as of the date of this Annual Report onForm 10-K.

This annual report onForm 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Item 11. Executive Compensation


Item 11.Executive Compensation
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In this section, we will give an overview and analysis of our compensation program and policies, the material compensation decisions we have made under those programs and policies, and the material factors that we considered in making those decisions. Later in this Part III under the heading “Additional Information Regarding Executive Compensation,” you will find tables containing specific information about the compensation earned by, and equity awards granted to, the following individuals, whom we refer to as our “named executive officers”:

68


• Bruce Widener, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Director
• Richard C. Mills, President
• Robert Mohr, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary
The discussion below is intended to help you understand the detailed information provided in those tables and put that information into context within our overall compensation program.

Overview of Compensation Philosophy

The goal of our compensation program for our named executive officers is the same as our goal for operating Beacon  to create long-term value for our stockholders. Toward this goal, we have designed and implemented our compensation programs for our named executive officers to reward them for sustained financial and operating performance and leadership excellence, to align their interests with those of our stockholders and to encourage them to remain with us for long and productive careers. Most of our compensation elements simultaneously fulfill one or more of our performance, alignment and retention objectives, as described below. These elements consist of salary, annual bonus and share-based incentive compensation. In deciding on the type and amount of compensation for each named executive, we focus on both current pay and the opportunity for future compensation. We combine the compensation elements for each named executive in a manner we believe optimizes the executive’s contribution to us.

Overview of Compensation Objectives

Performance.

The amount of compensation for each named executive officer reflects his superior management experience, continued high performance and exceptional career of service to us. Key elements of compensation that depend upon the named executive officer’s performance include:

• Base salary, which provides fixed compensation based on competitive market practice and in accordance with the terms of the executive’s employment agreement.
• Bonus, which is discretionary and payable in cash or equity incentives based on an assessment of each executives’ performance against pre-determined quantitative and qualitative measures within the context of our overall performance.
• Equity incentive compensation in the form of stock optionsand/or restricted stock subject to vesting schedules that require continued service with us.
• Our matching contributions to our named executive officers who participate in our 401(k) plan.
• Other benefits.
Base salary and bonus are designed to reward annual achievements and be commensurate with the executive’s scope of responsibilities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and management experience and effectiveness. Share-based compensation is focused on motivating and challenging the executive to achieve superior, longer-term, sustained results.


78


Alignment.

We seek to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders, and provide them with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in us, by evaluating executive performance on the basis of key financial measurements, which we believe closely correlate to long-term stockholder value, including revenue, operating profit and cash flow from operating activities. Key elements of compensation that align the interests of the named executives with stockholders include equity incentive compensation, which links a significant portion of compensation to stockholder value because the total value of those awards corresponds to stock price appreciation that correlates strongly with meeting company performance goals.

Retention.

Due to extensive management experience, our senior executives are oftenon occasion presented with other professional opportunities, including ones at potentially higher compensation levels. We attempt to retain our executives by using continued service as a determinant of total pay opportunity. Key elements of compensation that require continued service to receive any, or maximum,

69


payout include the vesting terms in our equity-based compensation programs, including stock option and restricted stock awards.

Implementing Our Objectives

Determining Appropriate Pay Levels.

We compete with many other companies for experienced and talented executives. As such, market information regarding pay practices at peer companies (as provided in the public reports filed by such companies with the SEC) is reviewed and considered in assessing the reasonableness of compensation and ensuring that compensation levels remain competitive in the marketplace.

We rely upon our subjective judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing our performance and carefully evaluating an executive’s performance during the year against established goals, leadership qualities, operational performance, business responsibilities, such individual’s career with us, current compensation arrangements and long-term potential to enhance stockholder value. Specific factors affecting compensation decisions for our named executive officers include:

• Key financial measurements such as revenue, operating profit and cash flow from operating activities.
• Strategic objectives such as acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures.
• Promoting commercial excellence by launching new or continuously improving services, and attracting and retaining customers.
• Achieving specific operational goals for us including improved productivity, simplification and risk management.
• Achieving excellence in their organizational structure and among their employees.
We generally do not adhere to rigid formulas or necessarily react to short-term changes in business performance in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements. Although we consider competitive market compensation paid by other companies, we do not attempt to maintain a certain target percentile within a peer group or otherwise rely on those data to determine executive compensation. We incorporate flexibility into our compensation programs and in the assessment process to respond to and adjust for the evolving business environment.

Allocation of Compensation

There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation of compensation, other than the employment agreements as previously referenced. We strive to achieve an appropriate mix between equity incentive awards and cash payments in order to meet our objectives. Any apportionment goal is not applied rigidly and does not control our compensation decisions; we use it as another tool to assess an executive’s total pay opportunities and whether we have provided the appropriate incentives to accomplish our compensation objectives. Our mix


79


of compensation elements is designed to reward recent results and motivate long-term performance through a combination of cash and equity incentive awards. We believe the most important indicator of whether our compensation objectives are being met is our ability to motivate our named executive officers to deliver superior performance and retain them on a cost-effective basis.

Timing of Compensation

As discussed elsewhere, compensation (including salary base adjustments, stock options and restrictive stock awards, incentive plan eligibility, incentive plan goal specifications and incentive plan payments, for our named executive officers) are typically reviewed annually.

Minimum Stock Ownership Requirements

We do not have any minimum stock ownership guidelines. All of our named executive officers, however, currently beneficially own either one, or a combination, of shares of common stock, shares of our restricted stock, or stock options to purchase our common stock.

Role of Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee of our Board has primary responsibility for assisting the Board in developing and evaluating potential candidates for executive positions, including the CEO, and for overseeing the development of executive succession plans. As part of this responsibility, the Compensation Committee oversees the design, development and implementation of the compensation program for the CEO and the other named executive officers. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the CEO and determines CEO compensation in light of the goals and objectives of the compensation program.

Role of Executive Officers in Determining Compensation

The CEO and the Compensation Committee together assess the performance of the other named executives and determine their compensation, based on initial recommendations from the CEO. Our CEO assists the Compensation Committee in reaching compensation decisions with respect to the named executives other than the CEO. The other named executives do not play a role in their own compensation determination, other than discussing individual performance objectives with the CEO. Our CEO is not involved with any aspect of determining his own compensation. The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for our CEO. Although our CEO assists the Compensation Committee in reaching compensation decisions with respect to the other named executive officers, the Compensation Committee has final discretionary authority to approve compensation of all named executive officers, including our CEO.

Role of Compensation Consultant.

The Compensation Committee did not use the services of a compensation consultant to establish the compensation program for named executive officers for fiscal year 2008.2008 but did engage a consultant to assist in fiscal year 2009 compensation consideration. In the future, the Compensation Committee may engage or seek the advice of compensation consultants to provide insight on compensation trends along with general views on specific compensation programs.

Equity Grant Practices.

The exercise price of each stock option awarded to our named executive officers, as non-qualified stock options or under our long-term incentive plan, is equal to the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has no pre-set schedule as to when, or if, such grants shall occur.


80


Annual Compensation Objectives

Base Salary.

Base salaries for our named executive officers depend on the scope of their responsibilities, their performance, and the period over which they have performed those responsibilities. Decisions regarding salary increases take into account the executive’s current salary and the amounts paid to the executive’s peers within and outside Beacon. Base salaries are reviewed periodically, but are not automatically increased if the Compensation Committee believes that other elements of compensation are more appropriate in light of our stated objectives. This strategy is consistent with our primary intent of offering compensation that is contingent on the achievement of performance objectives.

Beacon entered into employment agreements with three of its key executives with no specific expiration dates that provide for aggregate annual compensation of $480,000$540,000 and up to $120,000$1,020,000 of severance payments for termination without cause. We discuss the terms and conditions of these agreements elsewhere in this Part III under “Additional Information Regarding Executive Compensation—Compensation — Employment Agreements.”

Bonus.

Each September, the CEO reviews with the Compensation Committee our estimated full-year financial results against the financial, strategic and operational goals established for the year, and our financial performance in prior periods. Based on that review, the Compensation Committee determines on a preliminary basis whether each named executive officer has achieved the objectives upon which the bonus is evaluated. After reviewing the final full-year results, the Compensation Committee approves total bonuses to be awarded. Bonuses will be approved subject to the results of our year-end financial audit and paid shortly thereafter.

The Compensation Committee, with input from the CEO with respect to the other named executive officers, uses discretion

71


in determining the current year’s bonus for each named executive officer. It evaluates our overall performance, the performance of the business unit or function that the named executive officer leads and an assessment of each executive officer’s performance against expectations, which is reviewed at the end of the year. The bonuses also reflect (and are proportionate to) the consistently increasing and sustained annual financial results of Beacon. We believe that the annual bonus rewards the executives who drive these results and incentivizes them to sustain this performance.

Whether or not a bonus is in fact earned by an executive is based on both an objective analysis (predetermined operating profit targets based on budgeted operating revenues) and a subjective analysis (based on the individual’s contribution to us or the business unit), The financial objective for each named executive officer for fiscal year 2008 isand 2009 are discussed below. In making the subjective determinations, the Compensation Committee does not base its determination on any single performance factor nor does it assign relative weights to factors, but considers a mix of factors, including evaluations of superiors, and evaluates an individual’s performance against such mix in absolute terms in relation to our other executives.

The salaries paid and the annual bonuses awarded to the named executive officers for fiscal yearyears 2008 and 2009 are discussed below and disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Equity Awards

Our equity incentive compensation program is designed to recognize scope of responsibilities, reward demonstrated performance and leadership, motivate future superior performance, align the interests of the executive with our stockholders and retain the executives through the vesting period established for the awards. All of our officers and key employees (including our named executive officers) and our directors are eligible for grants of stock options and other stock-based awards (including restricted stock). We consider the grant size and the appropriate combination of stock options, common stock and restricted stock when making award decisions. Equity incentive compensation granted for fiscal 2008 and 2009 is discussed below and disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. Existing ownership levels are not a factor in award determination, as we do not want to discourage executives from holding our stock.


81


We have expensed stock option grants under SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) since December 20, 2007, and adopted SFAS 123R beginning at that time.grants. When determining the appropriate combination of stock options and restricted stock, our goal is to weigh the cost of these grants with their potential benefits as a compensation tool. We believe that providing combined grants of stock options and restricted stock effectively balances our objective of focusing the named executive officers on delivering long-term value to our stockholders, with our objective of providing value to the executives with the equity awards. Stock options only have value to the extent the price of our stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price on the grant date, and thus are an effective compensation element only if the stock price grows over the term of the award. In this sense, stock options are a motivational tool. Unlike stock options, restricted stock offers executives the opportunity to receive shares of our stock on the date the restricted stock vests. In this regard, restricted stock serves both to reward and retain executives, as the value of the restricted stock is linked to the price of our stock on the date the restricted stock vests.

401(k) Plan

We have a 401(k) Savings Plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which is available to all our employees on date of hire. Employees may contribute their salary up to the statutory to the plan through voluntary salary deferred payments. We matched 100% of the first 1% and 50% of the next 5% of each employee’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s salary until November 9, 2008 at which time the Board of Directors voted to revise the matching contribution to a performance based, profit sharing match.

72


Eligible named executive officers participated in the 401(k) Plan in fiscal year 2008 and 2009 and received matching contribution from us under the 401(k) Plan for the year ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 as follows:

Compensation for Named Executive Officers in Fiscal 2008

and 2009 Strength of company performance.The specific compensation decisions made for each of the named executive officers for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 reflect our performance against key financial and operational measurements. A more detailed analysis of our financial and operational performance is contained in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis contained elsewhere in this Annual Report onForm 10-K. Revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 fell below expectations. However, we achieved several of our key priorities in combining and integrating the four acquisitions and transitioning to a publicly traded company.company during Fiscal 2008 and obtaining significant increases in business as we launched our Infrastructure Management Services and launching international operations in Fiscal 2009.

CEO Compensation.In determining Mr. Widener’s compensation for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Compensation Committee considered his performance against financial, strategic and operational goals for this year as follows:

Financial Objectives

2008 and 2009.

Strategic and Operational Goals

We successfully integrated the four companies into a single business providing the comprehensive services contemplated under the original plan.

Retain Excellent Team

Mr. Widener continued to attract and retain a strong management expertise at all levels of the organization.

Launched Foreign OperationsMr. Widener successfully launched foreign operations through the acquisition of Symbiotec Solution AG.

Acquisitions and unpaid retro-pay of $32,308 related to an increase received during the year, respectively.

Other Named Executive Officers’ Compensation.In determining the compensation of Messrs. Mills Kerr and Mohr for the yearyears ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Compensation Committee compared their achievements against the performance objectives established

73


for each of them at the beginning of the year and discussed with each individual at the beginning of the year by the CEO. The Compensation Committee evaluated our overall performance and the contributions of each of the other named executive officers to that performance, as well as the performance of the departments that each individual leads when relevant. Each of the other named executive officers has an employment agreement which defines their base salaries. Mr. Mohr earned a bonus forduring the year ended September 30, 2008 for timely delivery of reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on our shortfall from our planned revenue and EBITDA, the base salaries will remainremained the same as in Fiscal 2008 for Fiscal 2009 but will bewere evaluated based on achieving specific goals for the fiscal year 2009.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) ofRegulation S-K.

On May 15, 2008, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $500,000 of additional funding, the terms of which provided for issuance of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share per month for the period the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five-year term. The financing arrangement terminates upon the close of a $3,000,000 equity financing event. On August 19, 2008, we modified the agreement to increase the commitment to $3,000,000 of additional funding that decreases on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise capital in subsequent equity financing transactions up to $3,000,000, upon mutual agreement of our director and us, or on December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, $1,700,000 remained available under this equity arrangement. In consideration for this financing arrangement, we agreed to issue a five year warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in addition to the ongoing warrants earned under the original agreement. In addition, contingent upon the exercise of any part of the equity financing commitment, two of our founding stockholders would earn the right to purchase up to 1,655,425 shares of their stock owned by the investors for a purchase price of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, we recognized $176,999 and $288,945 of interest expense for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2009
