Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Data Storage Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Data Storage Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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. 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 Data Storage Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
Note 1- Nature of Business
Basis of presentation, organization and other matters
Data Storage Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on August 29, 2001. Data Storage Corporation is a provider of data backup services. The Company specializes in secure off-site, disk-to-disk data backup for disaster recovery, business continuity, and regulatory compliance.
Data Storage Corporation derives its revenues from the sale of solutions that provide businesses protection of critical electronic data. Primarily, these services consist of data duplication for disaster recovery and business continuity. The Company has Data Centers in Westbury, New York and maintains equipment in a co-location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to provide redundant data protection.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity or remaining maturity at the time of purchase, of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of credit risk and other risks and uncertainties
Financial instruments and assets subjecting the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained at major U.S. financial institutions. Deposits in these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
The Company's customers are primarily concentrated in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, historical trends and other information.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the estimated accounts receivable that will not be collected due to credit losses and customer returns and allowances. Provisions for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable are made for individual accounts based upon specific facts and circumstances including criteria such as their age, amount, and customer standing. Provisions are also made for other accounts receivable not specifically reviewed based upon historical experience.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
