We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 financial position of Standard Tel Networks, LLC as of September 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Standard Tel Networks, LLC
Notes To Financial Statements
September 30, 2008 and 2007
Note 1 — Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of business —Standard Tel Networks, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, (the “Company”), is engaged in the sale, installation, and service of telephone communications systems in California. Sales and installation take place principally under fixed priced contracts. The length of the contracts vary but are typically less than three months. The Company is headquartered in Huntington Beach, California and has additional offices in San Diego, Sacramento and Dublin, California. The Company operates on a fiscal year, beginning October 1 and ending September 30.
Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents— For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers short-term investments, which may be withdrawn at any time without penalty, and restricted cash, which will become available within one year from the date of the financial statements, to be cash equivalents.
Revenue recognition —The Company derives its revenues primarily from sales of converged VOIP telecommunications equipment and professional services implementation/installation, data and wireless equipment and installation, recurring maintenance/managed service and network service agreements and other services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”), as amended by SAB No. 104 “Revenue Recognition, Corrected Copy” (“SAB 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.
The Company primarily applies the percentage-of-completion method and generally recognizes revenue based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs. Profits expected to be realized on such contracts are based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Provision for anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses become evident.
Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method are accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each element’s relative fair value, if determinable, and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition criteria for each element are fulfilled. The Company recognizes revenue from the equipment sales and installation services using the percentage of completion method. The services for maintaining the systems we install are sold as a stand-alone contract and treated

Note 1 — Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
according to the terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. Revenue from this maintenance service is generally recognized over the term of the subscription period or the terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. A majority of equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in advance on a monthly basis based upon the fixed price, and are included both in accounts receivable and billings in excess of revenues on the accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts are deferred until the related revenue is recognized and are included in inventory on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company also provides professional services (maintenance/managed services) on a fixed price basis. These services are billed as bundles and or upon completion of the services.
Trade accounts and contracts receivable —Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, and generally collateral is not required. Management estimates an allowance for uncollectible trade accounts and contracts receivable through specific identification of known collection problem accounts based on past due status and through the utilization of historical trend information. Trade accounts and contracts receivable are charged-off when management has exhausted collection attempts and concludes the amounts are uncollectible. Trade accounts and contract receivables are considered past due based on invoice or contract terms, as applicable. Management believes all trade accounts and contracts receivable as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 are fully collectible; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded.
Inventory —Inventory consists of telecommunications equipment and related purchased parts. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
Property and equipment —Net property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided for using the straight-lined method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.
Deferred Income —Deferred income arises in the ordinary course of business from advance maintenance payments required under maintenance contracts. The maintenance contracts are typically for a one-year period, are billed and collected in advance of the maintenance period, and are non-cancelable. There are no refunds given against these contracts even if the customer ceases business or chooses another vendor prior to contract expiration. Revenue from maintenance contracts is earned ratably over the contract term.
Warranty expense —The Company provides customers a variety of warranties covering workmanship and performance on certain products. Warranty costs are charged to operations in the year in which the warranty claim is made. If a warranty reserve method was used, it would not have a material effect on the financial statements. Warranty expense totaled approximately $111,000 and $138,000 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs —Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of contract revenue in the accompanying statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs totaled approximately $46,000 and $70,000 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Advertising expense —The Company charges all advertising expenses to operations when incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $14,000 and $29,000 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income taxes —The Company has elected under the Internal Revenue Service to be taxed as a partnership. Accordingly, no Federal income taxes are paid by the Company since the taxable income or loss is reported by the members on their individual income tax returns. California and local income taxes are provided for in the accompanying statements of operations.

September 30, 2008 and 2007
Note 6 — Concentrations, risks and uncertainties
Historically, the Company has purchased a significant portion of its inventory from one supplier, Mitel. Mitel manufactures and supplies telephone equipment under the brand names Mitel and Inter-tel. Management believes other suppliers would provide similar items on comparable terms. A change in its current relationship with this supplier, however, could cause a delay in customer service and a possible loss of sales, which could present significant adverse financial consequences to the Company. However, the Company’s management feels a relationship with a similar supplier could be developed in a timely manner to minimize any potential adverse financial impact to the Company.
Historically the Company maintains cash deposits at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2008, cash deposits totaled approximately $507,000 in excess of federally insured limits.
Revenues are concentrated in the telecommunications industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect operating results.
During the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 sales and net receivables (receivables billed, plus unbilled receivables, less billings in excess of revenues) by customers with more than 10% of revenue or the total of accounts and unbilled receivables balances were as follows:
2007
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Customer | | Revenues | | Receivables |
| | |
Customer A | | Less than 10% | | $ | 216,703 | | | | 15.8 | % |
Customer B | | Less than 10% | | $ | 249,428 | | | | 18.1 | % |
2007

Customer | | Revenues | | Receivables |
| | |
Customer C | | Less than 10% | | $ | 130,227 | | | | 11.1 | % |
Note 7 — Related Party Transactions

Note 10 — Acquisition by Brookside Technology Holdings Corp
On September 23, 2008, Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (“Brookside Holdings”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions, LLC (“Acquisition Sub”), acquired the Company. The acquisition was conducted pursuant to a Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and was structured as the acquisition of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc. (“Trans-West”) from the shareholders of Trans-West (the “Trans-West Shareholders”) and (b) all of the membership interest of the Company owned by ProLogic Communication, Inc. (“ProLogic” and collectively with the Trans-West Shareholders, the “Seller Parties”). Trans-West, a holding company with no operations, owns eighty percent (80%) of the membership interest of the Company and ProLogic owned the other twenty percent (20%), and, accordingly, Acquisition Sub now owns (directly, in part, and indirectly through Trans West, in other part) one hundred percent (100%) of the Company. Prior to the acquisition, Brookside Holdings did not have any relationship with the Seller Parties.
At the closing of the acquisition, Brookside Holdings issued to the Seller Parties 40,843,376 shares of Brookside Holdings’s common stock and paid to the Seller Parties $3,209,263 in cash. However, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, one-half of such shares and $500,000 of the cash payment are being held in escrow subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations.
In connection with the acquisition, Brookside Holdings entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements with the Seller Parties, pursuant to which the Seller Parties, subject to certain limited exceptions, agree not to use or disclose confidential information belonging to Brookside Holdings or the Company and not to compete with Brookside Holdings nor to solicit its customers or employees. Additionally, Brookside Holdings caused the Company to enter into an Employment Agreement with Michael Promotico, with an initial term of three years, pursuant to which he will serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”).
The Employment Agreement contains standard terms and provisions, including non-competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to early termination and constructive termination, and provides for an annual base salary, performance incentives, certain standard benefits and stock options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the closing date.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Consolidated Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory entries present how the combined financial statements of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (“Brookside” or the “Company”), Standard Tel Networks, LLC (“STN”) and U.S. Voice & Data, LLC (“USVD”) have been combined as of September 30, 2008 (with respect to the balance sheet) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the year ended December 31, 2007 (with respect to the statement of operations) had the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of each period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information shows an impact on the merger of the Brookside, STN and USVD on the financial position and results of operations under the purchase method of accounting with Brookside treated as the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of STN and USVD are recorded by Brookside at the estimated fair values as of the date the merger is completed. Amounts reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 were slightly different than the amounts reported in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. Such differences are considered immaterial.
On September 23, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), acquired Standard Tel Networks, LLC (“STN”), an independent distributor of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and services with California offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, San Diego and headquartered in Huntington Beach. The acquisition was conducted pursuant to a previously-disclosed Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008 (the “Purchase Agreement”), and was structured as the acquisition of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc. (“Trans-West”) from the shareholders of Trans-West (the “Trans-West Shareholders”) and (b) all of the membership interest of STN owned by ProLogic Communication, Inc. (“ProLogic” and collectively with the Trans-West Shareholders, the “Seller Parties”). As previously reported, Trans-West, a holding company with no operations, owns eighty percent (80%) of the membership interest of STN and ProLogic owned the other twenty percent (20%), and, accordingly, the Company now owns (directly, in part, and indirectly through Trans West, in other part) one hundred percent (100%) of STN. Collectively, the forgoing transactions are referred to in this Current Report as the “STN Acquisition.” Prior to the STN Acquisition, the Company did not have any relationship with the Seller Parties.
At the closing of the STN Acquisition, the Company issued to the Seller Parties 40,843,376 shares of the Company’s common stock and paid to Seller Parties $3,209,262.70 in cash. However, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, one-half of such shares and $500,000 of the cash payment are being held in escrow subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification obligations.
In connection with the STN acquisition, the Company entered into Restrictive Covenant Agreements with the Seller Parties, pursuant to which the Seller Parties, subject to certain limited exceptions, agree not to use or disclose confidential information belonging to the Company or STN and not to compete with the Company nor to solicit its customers or employees. Additionally, the Company caused STN to enter into an Employment Agreement with Michael Promotico, with an initial term of three years, pursuant to which he will serve as STN’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement contains standard terms and provisions, including non-competition and confidentiality provisions and provisions relating to early termination and constructive termination, and provides for an annual base salary, performance incentives, certain standard benefits and stock options at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the closing date.
The Acquisition of the Company was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair market value. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair values assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact net income. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The value of assets and liabilities was estimated based on purchase price and future intended use.
