BROOKSIDE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Nature of Business
Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (the “Company”) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, the Company acquired all of the stock of Brookside Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Because Brookside Technology Partners was the accounting acquirer in the Share Exchange, management does not believe that it is informative or useful to compare the Company’s historical results of operations with those of Brookside Technology Partners. Instead, below we discuss only Brookside Technology Partners’ results of operations and financial performance.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the “Effective Time”), the Company changed its name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated into Florida. The name change and redomestication were accomplished by merging the Company into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the “Redomestication”). As a result, the Company is now a Florida corporation and its name is Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under a new symbol: BKSD.
Stock Split
Concurrently with the Redomestication and as of the Effective Time:
| • | | Each outstanding share of Cruisestock’s common stock, $0.001 per share, was automatically converted into seven shares of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share; |
|
| • | | Each outstanding share of Cruisestock’s series A preferred stock, $0.001 per share, was automatically converted into one share of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.’s series A preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share; |
|
| • | | The price at which the series A preferred stock converts into common stock was automatically adjusted, on a proportionate basis, to account for the forward split of the common shares by reducing the current conversion price of $0.40 per share to $0.0571428; and |
|
| • | | The number of shares of common stock underlying all of Cruisestock’s outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, and the exercise price of such options and warrants, was automatically adjusted to account for the 7-for-1 common share stock split. |

Note 1 — Nature of Business (continued)
Operations
Currently, the Company serves as a holding company for Brookside Technology Partners and all operations are conducted by Brookside Technology Partners. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Brookside Technology Partners is a provider and global managed service company specializing in selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged Voice over IP (VoIP), data and wireless business communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government organizations of all types and sizes in the United States. Brookside Technology Partners is recognized as one of the leading VoIP resellers and professional services vendors with over 300 BCM installations that have various forms of networked or VoIP functionality.
Potential Acquisitions/Need for Financing
In addition to operating Brookside’s historical business, the Company is exploring certain strategic acquisitions. As previously disclosed, On May 11, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive letter of intent to acquire U.S. Voice and Data, LLC (“USVD”), an Indiana Limited Liability Company, with USVD and its two members. The letter of intent and the closing of the acquisition is subject to, among other things, the completion of due diligence, financing and the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement. There can be no assurances that a successful closing will occur.
Generally, the letter of intent is non-binding. However, the letter of intent does impose certain binding obligations on the parties. Among these is the requirement that, from the date of the letter of intent until August 31, 2007, USVD cease negotiations with any other party regarding the acquisition of USVD and otherwise refrain from taking any action to seek, solicit, or accept any other inquiries, proposals or offers to purchase or otherwise acquire the business or assets of USVD or the membership interests of USVD, whether by merger, consolidation, stock purchase, joint venture or otherwise. In exchange for such exclusivity, we paid to USVD a deposit of $250,000 (the “Deposit”). At closing of the acquisition, should one occur, the Deposit is to be applied to the purchase price for USVD. The Company is required to pay an additional $9,000,000, less the $250,000 at closing.
The Company expects to raise these additional funds through its discussions with several lenders. However, should we, prior to closing, discover that USVD has materially misrepresented its financial condition or should USVD breach its exclusivity obligations, the Deposit is required to be refunded to us. In all other events, should the closing fail to occur, USVD is entitled to retain the Deposit.
The Deposit significantly depleted the Company’s cash. As a result, if the closing of the USVD acquisition fails to occur on a timely basis and should the Company forfeit the Deposit, it will likely need to raise additional funds to meet its working capital needs over the next 12 months. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. If it fails to obtain such financing, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy and may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net losses during the first and second quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004. Its current and past losses raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. See Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended, December 31, 2006.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarters or the year ending December 31, 2007. For accounting purposes, the Exchange Transactions were treated as if Brookside had acquired Cruisestock, and, accordingly, for periods prior to the Exchange Transactions, the financial information contained herein is the historical information of Brookside. The results of operations of Cruisestock have been included in the consolidated financial statements contained herein since the date of the closing of the Exchange Transactions (February 21, 2007). For future information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Cruisestock’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Note 2 — Going Concern Uncertainties
The Company has incurred net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations, raise additional financing through public or private equity financings, or secure other sources of financing to fund operations. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $109,236 and a working capital deficit of $409,435 at June 30, 2007. The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $707,509 during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2007 presentation. During 2007, the Company’s common stock was exchanged for 41.33224 Cruisestock common shares for each Brookside common share. The financial statements have also been changed to reflect the impact of this stock split and the 7-for-1 stock split (as discussed in Note 1) as of January 1, 2006.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted net income per common share is presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128) for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
Below is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the following years:

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(r)”), which revised SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(r) provides additional guidance on determining whether certain financial instruments awarded in share-based payment transactions are liabilities. SFAS 123(r) also requires that the cost of all share-based transactions be measured at fair value and recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The adoption of SFAS 123(r) is expected to increase compensation expense during the period that employees vest in their stock options when granted. In accordance with the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to value all stock options (the “Options”). Compensation for restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Compensation cost for all awards will be recognized in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $915,000 in Employee Stock Compensation Expense.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2,Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements(“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies.The Company adopted FSP EITF 00-19-2 in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of its issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants subject to a registration payment agreement in February 2007. FSP EITF 00-19-2 requires that the contingent obligation to pay liquidated damages under the securities purchase agreement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5 (FASB No. 5),Accounting for Contingencies”. The Company implemented this FSP effective the first quarter of 2007 and recorded a $25,693 liability related to expected liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement. As the issuance of additional warrants under the liquidated damages clause is probable, the value of the 7,819,602 Class A Warrants expected to be issued has been accrued and included in additional paid in capital at June 30, 2007.

Note 12 – Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Exchange Agreement, and Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (continued)
Terms of Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Financing
From February 21, 2007 to April 30, 2007, the Company entered into Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements with a group of accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors purchased 2,175,322 of Cruisestock’s Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), 19,034,071 (2,719,153 pre-split) series A common stock purchase warrants (the “series A warrants”) and 19,034,071 (2,719,153 pre-split) series B common stock purchase warrants (the “series B warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2,141,990 (the “Private Placement”). Of the total purchase price, $235,000 was paid through the cancellation of promissory notes due from Brookside to the investor, as discussed in more detail below. Additionally, Venture Fund II, Inc. elected to convert $250,000 of a cash consulting fee into units in the offering and such amount is included in the total purchase price.
The Preferred Stock has a fixed conversion price of $0.0571428 and the 2,175,322 shares of Preferred Stock issued in the Private Placement are initially convertible into an aggregate of 38,068,135 shares of common stock. In addition, the Preferred Stock pays an annual dividend of 8%, which is payable quarterly, at the option of Cruisestock, either in cash or in shares of common stock at a 10% discount to Cruisestock’s stock price.
The series A warrants have an exercise price of $0.11428 and a term of three (3) years. The series B warrants have an exercise price of $0.22857 and a term of five (5) years.
The conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the warrants are subject to adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by Cruisestock of securities with a lower conversion or exercise price. The Preferred Stock is entitled to vote with the common stockholders on a common stock-equivalent basis.
In addition, Cruisestock and the Investors entered into an Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which Cruisestock agreed to file, within 60 days after the closing, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants. The failure of Cruisestock to meet this schedule and other timetables provided in the Investor Rights Agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated damages. The Company recorded liabilities of $15,010 and $25,693 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, related to liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement effective as of the Exchange Transaction. As the issuance of additional warrants under the liquidated damages clause is probable, the value of the 7,819,602 Class A Warrants expected to be issued has been accrued and included in additional paid in capital at June 30, 2007.
Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, which served as placement agent in connection with the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, received an aggregate placement agent fee of $214,199 in cash and the following common stock purchase warrants:
| (i) | | a series A warrant to purchase 2,664,767 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.1142857, |
|
| (ii) | | a series B warrant to purchase 2,664,767 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22857, and |
|
| (iii) | | a series C warrant (the “series C warrant”) to purchase 5,329,534 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0571428. |

The series C warrant has an exercise price of $0.0571428 and a term of three years. All the placement agent warrants provide for cashless exercise. Midtown Partners & Co., LLC is an NASD registered broker-dealer.
In addition, previously Chris Phillips and an affiliate of his, Apogee Financial Investments, Inc., which is the sole member of Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, each loaned $50,000 to Brookside. In connection with the Exchange Transactions, they converted such bridge loans into the units offered to Investors in the Private Placement at a 25% discount to the price paid by such Investors, which was offered as an incentive for such conversion.
Accordingly, on February 21, 2007, each of Mr. Phillips and Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. received 466,667 shares of Preferred Stock and the following warrants:
| (i) | | a series A warrant issued to Mr. Phillips to purchase 320,831 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.1142857, |
|
| (ii) | | a series B warrant issued to Mr. Phillips to purchase 320,831 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22857, |

In addition, on January 12, 2007, Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. loaned $135,000 to Brookside. In connection with the Exchange Transactions, Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. converted the loan into 135,000 units in the Private Placement. Accordingly, Apogee was issued 945,000 additional shares of Preferred Stock and the following warrants:
| (i) | | a series A warrant issued to Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. to purchase 1,181,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.1142857; and |
|
| (ii) | | a series B warrant issued to Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. to purchase 1,181,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.22857. |
In addition, Apogee Consultants, Inc. received a cash fee of $122,070 for consulting and due diligence services rendered in connection with the transactions. Apogee Consultants, Inc. is not an affiliate of Apogee Financial Investments, Inc.
The conversion price of the Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by Cruisestock of securities with a lower conversion or exercise price. The Series A preferred stock has no voting rights, except as required by law.
Note 13 — Subsequent Events
On August 17, 2007 the Company executed a Term Sheet for the financing to acquire US Voice and Data, LLC (“USVD”). The financing is subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence review and credit approval, of which there can be no assurances. While the lender undertakes its due diligence review, the Company is expected to work towards finalizing the definitive purchase agreement for its acquisition of USVD and the definitive financing agreements related to such acquisition, the completion of which remains uncertain. If successfully acquired, the combined revenues and positive EBITDA of USVD should represent a significant increase in the Company’s revenues and EBITDA.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
The information presented in this section should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes for the periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 included in our Form 10-KSB, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the information contained in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors”of our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, and elsewhere in this report.
General
Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (the “Company”) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, the Company acquired all of the stock of Brookside Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Because Brookside Technology Partners was the accounting acquirer in the Share Exchange, management does not believe that it is informative or useful to compare the Company’s historical results of operations with those of Brookside Technology Partners. Instead, below we discuss only Brookside Technology Partners’ results of operations and financial performance.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the “Effective Time”), the Company changed its name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated into Florida. The name change and redomestication were accomplished by merging the Company into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the “Redomestication”). As a result, the Company is now a Florida corporation and its name is Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under a new symbol: BKSD.
Stock Split
Concurrently with the Redomestication and as of the Effective Time:
| • | | Each outstanding share of Cruisestock’s common stock, $0.001 per share, was automatically converted into seven shares of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share; |
|
| • | | Each outstanding share of Cruisestock’s series A preferred stock, $0.001 per share, was automatically converted into one share of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.’s series A preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share; |
|
| • | | The price at which the series A preferred stock converts into common stock was automatically adjusted, on a proportionate basis, to account for the forward split of the common shares by reducing the current conversion price of $0.40 per share to $0.0571428; and |
|
| • | | The number of shares of common stock underlying all of Cruisestock’s outstanding options and warrants to purchase common stock, and the exercise price of such options and warrants, was automatically adjusted to account for the 7-for-1 common share stock split. |
17
Operations
Currently, the Company serves as a holding company for Brookside Technology Partners and all operations are conducted by Brookside Technology Partners. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Brookside Technology Partners is a provider and global managed service company specializing in selling, designing, analyzing and implementing converged Voice over IP (VoIP), data and wireless business communications systems and solutions for commercial and state/government organizations of all types and sizes in the United States. Brookside Technology Partners is recognized as one of the leading VoIP resellers and professional services vendors with over 300 BCM installations that have various forms of networked or VoIP functionality.
Potential Acquisitions/Need for Financing
In addition to operating Brookside’s historical business, the Company is exploring certain strategic acquisitions. As previously disclosed, On May 11, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive letter of intent to acquire U.S. Voice and Data, LLC (“USVD”), an Indiana Limited Liability Company, with USVD and its two members. The letter of intent and the closing of the acquisition is subject to, among other things, the completion of due diligence, financing and the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement. There can be no assurances that a successful closing will occur.
Generally, the letter of intent is non-binding. However, the letter of intent does impose certain binding obligations on the parties. Among these is the requirement that, from the date of the letter of intent until August 31, 2007, USVD cease negotiations with any other party regarding the acquisition of USVD and otherwise refrain from taking any action to seek, solicit, or accept any other inquiries, proposals or offers to purchase or otherwise acquire the business or assets of USVD or the membership interests of USVD, whether by merger, consolidation, stock purchase, joint venture or otherwise. In exchange for such exclusivity, we paid to USVD a deposit of $250,000 (the “Deposit”). At closing of the acquisition, should one occur, the Deposit is to be applied to the purchase price for USVD. The Company is required to pay an additional $9,000,000, less the $250,000 at closing.
The Company expects to raise these additional funds through its discussions with several lenders. However, should we, prior to closing, discover that USVD has materially misrepresented its financial condition or should USVD breach its exclusivity obligations, the Deposit is required to be refunded to us. In all other events, should the closing fail to occur, USVD is entitled to retain the Deposit.
The Deposit significantly depleted the Company’s cash. As a result, if the closing of the USVD acquisition fails to occur on a timely basis and should the Company forfeit the Deposit, it will likely need to raise additional funds to meet its working capital needs over the next 12 months. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. If it fails to obtain such financing, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy and may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net losses during the first and second quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004. Its current and past losses raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. See Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended, December 31, 2006.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.
18
Three and Six months Ended June 30, 2007 compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006.
Gross Margin
Total revenues from operations for quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $464,062 compared to $1,225,104 reported for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $761,042 or 62.1%. Total revenues from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $1,001,439 compared to $1,639,487 reported for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $639,048 or 39.0%. The overall decrease in revenues is due primarily to the recognition of two very large Texas Department of Information Resources contracts, which totaled $648,287 in the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company was short staffed in outside salespeople through June 30, 2007, down to one salesperson from four, which negatively impacted sales. From May through July, 2007, the Company has since invested in two additional outside sales people to focus on higher margin sales opportunities.
Cost of sales was $239,162 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $591,648 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $352,486 or 59.6%. Cost of sales was $591,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1,034,690 reported for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $443,042 or 42.8%. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in total revenues in 2007 from 2006. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 51.5% and 63.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 59.1% and 63.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is primarily attributable to the decrease in business from the Texas Department of Information Resources in 2007, which has a higher cost of sales as a percentage of revenue, but higher revenues per contract.
Our gross margin was 48.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to 36.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Gross margin was 40.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 36.9% reported for the same period in 2006. The increase in the gross margin percentage is due primarily to a significantly less revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to a significant amount of revenue in for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from the Texas Department of Information Resources, which has less gross profit margin, but higher revenues per contract.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $493,404 and $333,705 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $793,268 and $775,770 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in 2007 was due primarily to the administrative costs associated with being a public company.
Rental expense for operating leases during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $7,952 and $12,782, respectively. Rental expense for operating leases for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $12,883 and $27,159, respectively. The decrease is due to the Company leasing out much less space in 2007 compared to 2006.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $915,000 compared to $0 reported for the same periods in 2006. This expense relates to the stock option agreements entered into with George Pacinelli, our President, and Bryan McGuire, our Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to Mr. Pacinelli’s stock option agreement, we granted to Mr. Pacinelli an option to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.185714 per share (the “Pacinelli Options”). Pursuant to Mr. McGuire’s stock option agreement, we granted to Mr. McGuire an option to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.185714 per share (the “McGuire Options”, the Pacinelli Options and the McGuire Options collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Options”). The Options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and were granted pursuant to our 2007 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which we have reserved 35,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. All of Mr. McGuire’s options are immediately exercisable. One half of Mr. Pacinelli’s options are immediately exercisable and the remainder vest as follows:
19
| | | | |
Number of Shares | | Vesting Date |
2,100,000 | | April 19, 2008 |
1,400,000 | | April 19, 2009 |
The Company recognizes employee stock based compensation in accordance with the adoption of SFAS 123R. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to value all stock options. Compensation for restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. Compensation cost for all awards will be recognized in earnings, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $915,000 in Employee Stock Compensation Expense. The Company has unrecognized stock compensation expense of $305,000 which will be recognized to expense over the remaining 21 month vesting period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $22,406 and $16,738 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest expense was $26,557 and $22,907 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net Profit/Net Loss from Operations
We realized a net loss from operations of ($1,217,050) for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to income from operations of $83,183 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net loss from operations was ($1,345,084) and ($209,778) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This decrease in income from operations is primarily due to the Employee stock compensation expense of $915,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,2007 and $0 reported for the same periods in 2006. Also, this loss from operations is also due to the significant decrease in total revenues and the increase in general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior to the acquisition of Share Exchange on February 21, 2007, Brookside Technology Partners was funded primarily through shareholder loans and from cash provided by its operations. In connection with the Share Exchange, as previously reported, the Company raised funds through a private placement of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Private Placement”). In the Private Placement, the Company received net cash proceeds of $969,943, after the deduction of all expenses and not including the conversion of certain notes payable.
The Company applied most of these funds on general working capital purposes and to date most of these funds have been expended. Further, as discussed above, on May 11, 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive letter of intent to acquire U.S. Voice and Data, LLC (“USVD”), an Indiana Limited Liability Company, with USVD and its two members. In connection therewith, the Company paid to USVD a deposit of $250,000 (the “Deposit”). At closing of the acquisition, should one occur, the Deposit is to be applied to the purchase price for USVD. Further, should the Company, prior to closing, discover that USVD materially misrepresented its financial condition or should USVD breach its exclusivity obligations, the Deposit is required to be refunded to the Company. However, in all other events, should the closing fail to occur, the Company shall forfeit the deposit.
The Deposit significantly depleted the Company’s cash. As a result, if the closing of the USVD acquisition fails to occur on a timely basis and should the Company forfeit the Deposit, it will likely need to raise additional funds to meet its working capital needs over the next 12 months. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. If it fails to obtain such financing, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy and may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred net losses during the first and second quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004. Its
20
current and past losses raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations, raise additional financing through public or private equity financings, or secure other sources of financing to fund operations. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $109,236 and a working capital deficit of $409,435 at June 30, 2007. The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $707,509 during the six months ended June 30, 2007. See Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended, December 31, 2006.
The closing of the acquisition of USVD is subject to, among other things, the completion of due diligence, financing and the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement. The Company hopes to obtain financing for the balance of the $9,000,000 purchase price. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. For a description of those estimates, see Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the explanatory notes to our financial statements contained in this Report. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Revenue Recognition
Brookside derives its revenues primarily from sales of converged VOIP telecommunications equipment and professional services implementation/installation, data and wireless equipment and installation, recurring maintenance/managed service and network service agreements and other services. It recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”), as amended by SAB No. 104. Under SAB 101 and SAB 104, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns.
Brookside’s recognizes revenue from the equipment sales and installation services at the completion of the contract and acceptance by the customer. A majority of equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in advance on a monthly basis based upon the fixed price, and are included both accounts receivable and deferred income on the accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts are deferred until the related revenue is recognized and are included in deferred contract costs on the accompanying balance sheets.
Brookside also provides professional services (maintenance/managed services) on a fixed price basis. These services are billed as bundles and or upon completion of the services.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, the company adopted the provision of FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes–an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 contains a
21
two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company has not changed any of its tax accrual estimates.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement No. 157”). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal quarters. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of Statement No. 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 108”). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“Statement No. 159”). Statement No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. Statement No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of Statement No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2,Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements(“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies.The Company adopted FSP EITF 00-19-2 in the first quarter of 2007 as a result of its issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants subject to a registration payment agreement in February 2007. FSP EITF 00-19-2 requires that the contingent obligation to pay liquidated damages under the securities purchase agreement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5 (FASB No. 5),Accounting for Contingencies”. The Company implemented this FSP effective the first quarter of 2007 and recorded a $25,693 liability related to expected liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the period ended June 30, 2007, the period covered by this 10-QSB. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007 to ensure the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to our company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
