INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This Report on Form 10-Q for Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (we, us, or the Company) may
contain forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words
such as may, will, expect, intend, anticipate, believe, estimate, and continue or
similar words. Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed
future business success or financial results. You should read statements that contain these words
very carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of
future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. We
believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors. However, there may
be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Accordingly, we do
not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new
information becomes available or other events occur in the future.
The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties including those set forth under Risk Factors in our Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and any
other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, to the
extent that this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial
condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of the Company, please be
advised that the Companys actual financial condition, operating results and business performance
may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in its forward-looking
statements.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 Nature of Business (continued)
Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (Cruisestock) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of
Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant
operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, Cruisestock acquired all of the stock of Brookside
Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside
Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of Cruisestock (the
Share Exchange). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cruisestock. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the
acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Redomestication
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the Effective Time), Cruisestock changed its
name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated in Florida. The name change and
redomestication were accomplished by merging Cruisestock into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned
subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the Redomestication).
The Companys common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under
the symbol: BKSD.
US Voice & Data, LLC
The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, US Voice & Data, LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability
Company (USVD). USVD, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with offices in Lexington, Kentucky
and Indianapolis, Indiana, is a leading regional provider of telecommunication services, including
planning, design, installation and maintenance for converged voice and data systems.
Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC
On September 23, 2008, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions,
Inc. (Acquisition Sub), acquired Standard Tel Networks, LLC (STN), an independent distributor
of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business communications products and services
headquartered in Huntington Beach, CA, and having other California offices in the San Francisco Bay
Area, Sacramento, and San Diego. This acquisition 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). Trans-West, a holding company with no operations, owned eighty percent (80%) of the
membership interest of STN and ProLogic owned the other twenty percent (20%), and, accordingly, the
Company now controls one hundred percent (100%) of STN. Collectively, the forgoing transactions are
referred to in these financial statements as the STN Acquisition. Prior to the STN Acquisition,
the Company did not have any relationships with the Seller Parties.
Operating results from the acquired business, STN, are included in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations from the date of acquisition (September 23, 2008). Accordingly, the three
and six months ended June 30, 2008 have no operation activity related to STN.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2 Liquidity and Capital Resources
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of obligations in the normal course of
business. The Company generated significant net losses in the prior three fiscal years.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $1,087,872 at June 30, 2009. Additionally, effective
August 13, 2009, the Company and its senior creditor, Chatham Credit Management III, LLC
(Chatham) further updated its letter agreement dated May
29, 2009 pursuant to which, among other things,
Chatham agreed, for the
period July 31, 2009 through June 30, 2010 to suspend the
Companys
compliance
of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio contained in the credit
agreement.
The Company is in full compliance with its financial covenants under this agreement.
Additionally, effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and the Companys
largest preferred stockholder (Vicis), pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000
in the Company and the Company issued to Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The Company sustained a loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 of
approximately $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and has a retained deficit of
approximately $19.9 million. These losses were primarily due to the amortization expense related
to the accounting treatment of warrants issued in connection with the debt raised to fund the USVD
acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had net cash used in operations
of approximately, $1 million. Historically, the Company has relied on borrowings and equity
financings to maintain its operations. The Company believes it has enough cash to operate for the
coming year with its cash on hand, cash to be generated from operations and the borrowing
availability on its credit lines. However, the recent economic downturn could have a material
effect on its business operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts
or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
Management is focused on managing costs in line with estimated total revenues for the balance of
fiscal 2009 and beyond, including contingencies for cost reductions if projected revenues are not
fully realized. However, there can be no assurance that anticipated revenues will be realized or
that the Company will successfully implement its plans. Additionally, the Company is in discussions
with its senior and subordinated lender regarding obtaining additional financing to execute its
business plan.
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and to the practices within the telecommunications industry. There have been no
significant changes in the Companys significant accounting policies during the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report
on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, certain of which are Brookside Technology Partners, Inc., US
Voice & Data, LLC, an Indiana Limited Liability Company, Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc a
California Corporation, Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc, a California Corporation and Standard
Tel Networks, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements, to be cash
equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes its estimates of allowance for
doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and the fair value of stock options and warrants, as further
discussed below, to be the most sensitive estimates impacting financial position and results of
operations.
Financial Instruments and Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk include cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from customers. Cash is deposited in
demand accounts in federally insured domestic institutions to minimize risk. Accounts receivable
and unbilled receivables are generally unsecured. With respect to accounts receivable and unbilled
receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and generally does not
require collateral.
Receivables are concentrated with a small number of customers. The Company maintains reserves for
potential credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. There were no allowances for
credit losses at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued
liabilities are considered to approximate their market values based on comparable market
information available at the respective balance sheet dates and their short-term nature. The
Company believes that the notes payable fair values approximate their notional value at June 30,
2009.
Inventory Reserves
Each quarter, the Company evaluates its inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.
Inventories that are considered obsolete are written off. Remaining inventory balances are adjusted
to approximate the lower of cost or market value. The valuation of inventories at the lower of cost
or market requires the use of estimates as to the amounts of current inventories that will be sold.
These estimates are dependent on managements assessment of current and expected orders from the
Companys customers.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The
Companys allowance for doubtful accounts is managements best estimate of losses resulting from
the inability of the Companys customers to make their required payments. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on a variety of factors, including historical experience,
length of time receivables are past due, current economic trends and changes in customer payment
behavior. Also, the Company records specific provisions for individual accounts when management
becomes aware of a customers inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, such as
in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customers operating results or financial
position. If circumstances related to a customer change, the Companys estimates of the
recoverability of the receivables would be further adjusted
Convertible Securities With Beneficial Conversion Features
Warrant Valuation and Beneficial Conversion Feature
. The Company calculates the fair value of
warrants issued with convertible securities (preferred stock or debt) using the Black Scholes
valuation method. The total proceeds received in the sale of preferred stock or debt and related
warrants is allocated among these financial instruments based on their relative fair values. The
debt discount arising from assigning a portion of the total proceeds to the warrants issued is
recognized as interest expense from the date of issuance to the earlier of the maturity date of the
debt or the conversion dates using the effective yield method. Additionally, when issuing
convertible debt, including convertible debt issued with detachable warrants, the Company tests for
the existence of a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) No. 98-5,
Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios
, and
FASB EITF No. 00-27,
Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (EITF No.
00-27)
. The Company records the amount of any beneficial conversion feature (BCF), calculated in
accordance with these accounting standards, whenever it issues convertible debt that has conversion
features at fixed rates that are in the money using the effective per share conversion price when
issued. The calculated amount of the BCF is accounted for as a contribution to additional paid-in
capital and as a debt discount that is recognized as interest expense from the date of issuance to
the earlier of the maturity date of the debt or the conversion dates using the effective yield
method. The maximum amount of BCF that can be recognized is limited to the amount that will reduce
the net carrying amount of the debt to zero.
Under EITF No. 00-27, the Company considered the effect of a beneficial conversion feature of the
Series A Stock issued in the December 2007 private placement and subsequently issued to Vicis
during 2008. During 2008, the Company has attributed a beneficial conversion feature of $1,983,607
to the Series A Stock based upon the difference between the relative fair value assigned to costs
in Series A Stock and the discount assigned to the warrants and zero (minimum basis). The amount
attributable to the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a dividend to the holders of
the Series A Stock during the year ended December 31, 2008. Since the redemption requirement of the
Series A Stock is contingent on the occurrence of future events, the Company is not accreting the
carrying value of the Series A Stock to redemption value and will not do so until the occurrence of
any one of those future events becomes probable.
The Companys Series A Stock is redeemable under certain conditions, including:
o
|
|
The Company effecting a merger or consolidation with another entity
|
|
o
|
|
The Company sells all or substantially all of the Companys assets
|
|
o
|
|
The Companys shareholders approve a tender or exchange offer, or
|
|
o
|
|
The Companys holders of the common stock exchange their shares for securities or cash
|
Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any one of these events, the Series A Stock will become
redeemable and the Company will accrete the carrying value of the Series A Stock to redemption
value at that time.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Goodwill and Intangibles
Goodwill represents the acquisition costs in excess of the fair value of net tangible and
intangible assets of the businesses purchased. This premium paid for the acquisitions is based on
managements belief that the acquired technologies, businesses and engineering talent were of
strategic importance in the Companys growth strategy. Intangible assets consist primarily of the
value of intellectual property, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks and
goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment, or earlier if indications of impairment
exist. The determination as to whether or not goodwill or other intangible assets have become
impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used
to determine the value of the reporting units. Changes in operating strategy and market conditions
could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of
intangible assets.
The Company has adopted a policy to review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment
using a discounted cash flow approach that uses forward-looking information regarding market share,
revenues and costs for the reporting unit as well as appropriate discount rates. As a result,
changes in these assumptions could materially change the outcome of the reporting units fair value
determination in future periods, which could require a further permanent write-down of goodwill.
The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles, that are not deemed indefinite, over their
estimated useful lives. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on
undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted
cash flows, appraised values or other market-based information.
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 collectability 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 elements 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 the
Company installs are sold as a stand-alone contract and treated according to the terms of the
contractual arrangements then in effect. Revenue from this service is generally recognized over the
term of the subscription period or the terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. A
majority of equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in advance on a monthly
basis based upon the fixed price, and are included both accounts receivable and deferred income on
the accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts are deferred until the
related revenue is recognized and are included in deferred contract costs on the accompanying
balance sheets.
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.

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Warranty Reserves
Reserves are provided for estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The costs of
warranty obligations are estimated based on warranty policy or applicable contractual warranty,
historical experience of known product failure rates and use of materials and service delivery
charges incurred in correcting product failures. Specific warranty accruals may be made if
unforeseen technical problems arise. If actual experience, relative to these factors, adversely
differs from these estimates, additional warranty expense may be required. At June 31, 2009 and
2008, the Company has accrued $188,108 and $0, respectively. The Companys warranty accrual takes
into account the telecommunications equipment covered by original equipment manufacturer
warranties. Prior to December 31, 2008, warranty costs not covered by the original equipment
manufacturer warranty were not considered material to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers
all expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in
the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred assets when it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the
benefit or that future deductibility is not probable. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax
assets depends on the Companys ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Accordingly,
establishment of the valuation allowance requires the Companys management to use estimates and
make assumptions regarding significant future events.
The Company evaluates its tax positions under FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
. Accordingly, the Companys management first determines whether it is
more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical
merits of the position. Any tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the condensed consolidated financial
statements. Each identified tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is
greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. No such tax positions were
identified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that options,
warrants and other instruments convertible into common stock are included in the calculation of
diluted net income (loss) per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For
instruments in which consideration is to be received for exercise, such as options or warrants,
dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants
are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of actual issuance, if
later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market
price during the period. Cumulative dividends on the Companys cumulative convertible preferred
stock, although not declared, constitute a preferential claim against future dividends, if any, and
are treated as an incremental decrease in net income from continuing operations or increase in net
loss from continuing operations for purposes of determining basic and diluted net income (loss)
from continuing operations per common share.
At June 30, 2009, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding consisting of Series A
Stock, warrants, and stock options issued to employees. The potential shares would be anti-dilutive
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and as such, have not been considered
in the calculation of earnings per share. At June 30, 2009, the number of potentially dilutive
shares that are anti-dilutive consisted of 19,200,000 stock option shares, 13,191,716 Series A
Stock (exercisable into 1,319,171,600 common shares), and 745,800,996 common shares purchase
warrants (which would be net share settled). At June 30, 2008, there were potentially dilutive
securities outstanding consisting of Series A Stock, convertible debt, warrants, and stock options
issued to employees of 14,000,000.
Derivatives
A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from an underlying instrument or index such
as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar
characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (embedded
derivatives) and for hedging activities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not invest in
separable financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, complex transactions
that the Company entered into in order to finance its operations and acquisitions, and the
subsequent restructuring of such debt transactions, involved financial instruments containing
certain features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives or containing
embedded derivatives. The Company may engage in other similar complex equity or debt transactions
in the future, but not with the intention to enter into derivative instruments. Derivatives and
embedded derivatives, if applicable, are measured at fair value and marked to market through
earnings, as required by SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended
(SFAS 133). However, such new and/or complex instruments may have immature
or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation often incorporate
significant estimates and assumptions, which may impact the level of precision in the financial
statements.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in
accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment.
The cost is
measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as
an expense over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity
award). The Company recorded $7,420 and $0 for stock compensation cost for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recorded $24,364 and $0 for stock compensation
cost for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No 157 (FSP
FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date for SFAS 157 for certain non-financial assets
and non-financial liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets. The Companys
adoption of FSP FAS 157-2 in first quarter 2009 did not have a material effect on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows
used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 was effective for first quarter 2009. The Company does
not expect FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the accounting for future acquisitions or
renewals of intangible assets, but the potential impact is dependent upon the acquisitions of
intangible assets in the future.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides guidance on (1)
estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the
asset or liability have significantly decreased and (2) identifying transactions that are not
orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FSP 157-4, but does not expect it to have a
material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 requires disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as
well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 is effective for interim periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FSP 107-1, but does not
expect it to have a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 168), effective for financial periods ending
after September 15, 2009. SFAS 168 states that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification will
become the authoritative source of U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and
will supersede all then existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Company plans to
adopt SFAS 168 in the third quarter of 2009 and does not expect adoption to have a material effect
on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events
(SFAS 165), effective for financial
periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 established principles and requirements for subsequent
events, including the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity shall evaluate events for potential disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances that warrant disclosure, and the specific disclosure requirements for transactions
that occur after the balance sheet date. The Company has adopted SFAS 165 in the second quarter of
2009. The implementation of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on the Companys results of
operations and financial position. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred
after June 30, 2009 up through August 11, 2009, the date it issued these financial statements.
During this period we did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF No. 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities
(FSP EITF 03-6-1). This FSP
provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends
or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and should be
included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. The Company has
adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 in the first quarter of 2009. The implementation of FSP EITF 03-6-1 does not have a material
impact on the calculation or reporting of the Companys earnings per share.

Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(R)). SFAS
141(R) established requirements for an acquirer to record assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
any related noncontrolling interest related to the acquisition of a controlled subsidiary, measured
at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company has adopted SFAS 141(R) in the first quarter
of 2009. The implementation of SFAS 141(R) did not have a material effect on the Companys results
of operations and financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements
(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51 to establish accounting
and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, SFAS 160 clarifies that noncontrolling interests in
a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has
adopted SFAS 160 in the first quarter of 2009. Implementation of SFAS 160 did not have a material
effect on the Companys results of operations and financial position.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and the SEC did not or
are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Liquidated Damages Under Registration Payment Arrangements
The Company has accrued $154,400 which is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets for June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 related to expected
liquidated damages that will be paid in cash or by issuance of additional common shares or warrants
for common shares under various registration rights agreements related to common shares, conversion
rights and warrants for preferred shares.
Litigation
As previously disclosed, in 2007, the Company purchased USVD from the Michael P. Fischer
Irrevocable Delaware Trust and the M. Scott Diamond Irrevocable Delaware Trust (the USVD Sellers)
pursuant to a Membership Purchase Agreement between the Company and the USVD Sellers, dated
September 26, 2007 (the USVD Agreement). The original purchase price was $15,429,242. As of June
30, 2009, the Company has paid to the USVD Sellers a total of $14,533,690, representing 94% of all
sums payable under the USVD Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the acquisition of USVD, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond were provided
employment agreements, pursuant to which they held the positions of CEO and COO, respectively at
USVD. The employee agreements provided Messrs. Fischer and Diamond with annual base salaries of
$105,000 and $145,000, respectively. As a result, until recently, the Company relied on Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond to continue to operate USVD.
However,
on May 12, 2009, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond notified the
Company that they considered their
employment to be constructively terminated as a result of the Company having failed to pay them,
collectively, an EBITDA earn-out payment of approximately $289,000 they claim they were due on
April 30, 2009. Since such time, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond have not shown up to work and they
have ceased performing any employment duties.
As discussed further under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis, USVDs revenues
while under the direction of Messrs. Fischer & Diamond, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were
approximately $2,700,000 lower than its revenues in the same period in 2008. This decrease
adversely impacted the Companys liquidity and subsequently the Companys largest equity investor,
Vicis, provided an additional capital infusion. Also, the Company and its primary lender, Chatham,
have made modifications to the Companys credit facility.
Fortunately,
USVDs first quarter decreased earnings were offset by increased earnings provided by
STN, as well as increased earnings at USVD for the second quarter under the direction of Brookside
Technology Holdings Corps management and other existing USVD and STN senior managers, discussed
further under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis. However, while the Company may
have this offset from these combined strong earnings, Messrs. Fischers and Diamonds earn-outs
were to be based solely on USVDs EBITDA. Given USVDs performance under Messrs. Fischers and
Diamonds stewardship prior to May 12, 2009, it is presently unclear whether they would have earned
any future earn-out payments subsequent to their alleged constructive terminations.
In addition to their alleged constructive termination, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond claim that their
Restrictive Covenant Agreement entered into as part of their Employment Agreements signed with the
Company at the time of the USVD acquisition are now null and void and that, accordingly, they are
free to compete with the Company and USVD, and to solicit USVD employees. Subsequent to the
departures of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, on May 26, 2009, several USVD employees, mostly sales
personnel, entered the USVD premises unescorted and removed Company and personal belongings in
connection with their resignations from USVD and their new employment with a new company, which the Company believes is owned by Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and/or some of their family members,
either directly or indirectly.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
In response to the actions of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and certain former USVD employees, the
Company has worked diligently to secure USVD and its assets, employees, vendors, partners and
customers. USVDs employees, vendors, partners and customers have reconfirmed their support and
loyalty to USVD, despite the fact that many of them have been solicited by Unified Technologies.
On July 17, 2009, the USVD Sellers filed a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County,
Kentucky, alleging that the Company breached the USVD Agreement by failing to pay the previously
mentioned $289,000 EBITDA earn-out payment they claim they was due on April 30, 2009, in addition
to $1,750,000 of other future payments they claim they are entitled to accelerate as a result of
such alleged breach. The lawsuit calls for an acceleration of all money owed to the USVD Sellers
including: the $850,000 Seller Note, the $289,000 accrued EBITDA earn-out and an additional $900,000
in Minimum Cash Payments (as defined by the employment agreements of
Messrs. Fischer and Diamond) in connection with future estimations of earn-outs yet to be earned. The
Company has a note payable USVD Sellers included in its long-term debt of $850,000 as well as an
accrual for the $289,000 accrued 2008 earn-out payment that the USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and
Diamond, claim is due to them.
The Company is currently analyzing the forgoing civil action and, since their departures, has been
aggressively investigating the actions undertaken by of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, as well as the
former USVD employees, both before and after their resignations. The litigation is in its early
stages, and it is premature to project its outcome. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
Circuit Court action and to pursue all available defenses, claims and counter claims against the
USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, and certain former USVD employees.
Risk Management
The Company maintains various forms of insurance that the Companys management believes are
adequate to reduce the exposure to property and general liability risks to an acceptable level.
Note 8 Related Party Transactions
The Company has notes payable to officers and shareholders of the Company. The balance of these
notes payable was $964,927 and $1,732,305 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Note 9 Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001
per share. The Companys preferred stock may be divided into such series as may be established by
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of the shares of any series established.
The conversion price of the Series A Stock and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to
adjustment in certain instances, including the issuance by the Company of securities with a lower
conversion or exercise price, which occurred as part of the USVD financings and STN financings and
acquisition. The Series A Stock has voting rights equivalent to the 1,319,171,600 shares of common
stock into which it can convert. The Series A stockholders also must approve any change to the
Companys Articles of Incorporation.

Note 9 Series A 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (continued)
Effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis Capital
Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and the Companys largest preferred
stockholder (Vicis), pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000 in the Company and
the Company issued to Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per
share. Pursuant to this event, all the outstanding warrants have been re-priced to $0.01 and all
conversion prices on the Series A Stock have been reduced to $0.01.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
involuntary, the holders of the shares of Series A Stock shall be paid, before any payment shall be

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, a warrant holder converted through a cashless
exercise of the warrants held, to 3,857,455 shares of common stock.
The Company has warrants, common stock options and Series A Stock that could potentially convert to
2,230,829,698 shares of common stock. Currently, the Company has 1,000,000,000 shares authorized.
EITF 00-19: Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in,
a Companys Own Stock addresses issues relating to financial instruments that must be settled in
with the Companys common stock. In some circumstances if the Company does not have enough
authorized shares, outstanding common stock warrants could be classified as liabilities. The
Company has continued to classify all warrants and Series A stock as permanent equity. The
Companys Board of Directors have stated their intention to increase the number of authorized
shares by December 31, 2009. This would require approval of the shareholders of the Company who
own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock, and Series A Stock, voting
as a single class on a converted basis. Currently, Vicis owns the majority of the voting shares.
The Company has obtained
representation from Vicis that it will support the increase in authorized shares and will not
convert its Series A Preferred shares to common stock until such time the Company has sufficient
authorized shares available. As such, the Company believes that it can settle all remaining
convertible securities by settlement (including net share settlement) within the currently
authorized shares.

appearing in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our

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-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008, and elsewhere in this report.
General

Background/Name Change/Redomestication
Cruisestock, Inc, (Cruisestock) was incorporated in September 2005 under the laws of the State of
Texas. Immediately prior to February 21, 2007, it was a shell corporation with no significant
operations or assets. On February 21, 2007, Cruisestock acquired all of the stock of Brookside
Technology Partners, a Texas corporation, in a transaction where the shareholders of Brookside
Technology Partners exchanged all of their shares for shares of common stock of Cruisestock (the
Share Exchange). As a result, Brookside Technology Partners became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cruisestock. However, from an accounting perspective, Brookside Technology Partners was the
acquirer in the Share Exchange.
Subsequent to the Share Exchange, on July 6, 2007 (the Effective Time), Cruisestock changed its
name to Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. and redomesticated in Florida. The name change and
redomestication were accomplished by merging Cruisestock into a newly-formed, Florida wholly-owned
subsidiary, with the subsidiary being the surviving entity (the Redomestication).
The Companys common stock is quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the
symbol: BKSD.
25
Acquisition of USVD
On September 26, 2007, the Company acquired all of the membership interest of US Voice & Data, LLC,
an Indiana Limited Liability Company (USVD). USVD, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with
offices in Lexington, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana, is a leading regional provider of
telecommunication services, including planning, design, installation and maintenance for converged
voice and data systems.
Increase in Authorized Shares
On August 4, 2008, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the
Amendment) with the Florida Department of State increasing the number of shares of common stock
that the Company has the authority to issue from Two Hundred and Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares
to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares.
Vicis Equity Infusion
On July 3, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Vicis Agreement)
with Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust (Vicis),
pursuant to which Vicis acquired (a) 2,500,000 shares of Series A Stock; and (b) a warrant (the
Warrant) to purchase 250,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at $0.03 per share (the
Exercise Price), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (Vicis Equity Infusion).
Furthermore, pursuant to the Vicis Agreement, all of the 3,000,000 shares outstanding of the
Companys Series B Stock) previously owned by Vicis were converted into 3,000,000 shares of Series
A Stock. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any outstanding shares of Series B Stock. The
Exercise Price is subject to a price adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain
events set forth in the Warrant.
The Company accounted for these two transactions as one event for accounting purposes. The
$5,500,000 ($2,500,000 in cash and $3,000,000 of principal of Series B Stock) was considered for
investment in 5,500,000 shares of Series A Stock and 250,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock.
Initially the $5,500,000 was allocated based on the relative fair value of the Series A Stock and
the warrants issued. The value assigned to the Series A Stock was reduced to zero as a result of a
beneficial conversion feature.
Vicis also purchased and assumed from Hilco Financial, LLC (Hilco), and Hilco assigned to Vicis,
all credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which Hilco had loaned money to the
Company. The Company consented to such assignments. In connection with such assignments, Hilco
transferred to Vicis its warrants to purchase 61,273,835 shares of common stock of the Company. In
addition, Vicis purchased and assumed from Dynamic Decisions (DD), and DD assigned to Vicis, all
credit agreements, loans and promissory notes under which DD had loaned money to the Company. The
Company consented to such assignments.
All Warrants and Series A Stock each contain provisions that limit their holders ability to
exercise and convert, as applicable, the Warrant and Series A Stock to the extent that, after such
conversion/exercise, the sum of the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the
holder would result in beneficial ownership by any holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of
the outstanding shares of common stock.
As a result of Vicis equity infusion described above, the exercise price of all of the Companys
outstanding warrants, including the warrants transferred to Vicis from Hilco, has been reset to
$0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of those warrants. Additionally, the conversion
price of all outstanding shares of Series A Stock, including those previously owned by Vicis, has
been reset to $0.03 pursuant to the price protection provisions of the Series A Stock.
Acquisition of Standard Tel Networks, LLC
On September 23, 2008, Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (the Company), through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Standard Tel Acquisitions, Inc. (Acquisition Sub), acquired Standard Tel Networks,
LLC (STN), an independent distributor of high quality, turnkey converged voice and data business
communications products and services with California offices in the San Francisco Bay Area,
Sacramento, San Diego and headquartered in Huntington Beach. The acquisition was conducted pursuant
to a previously-disclosed Stock and Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated July 17, 2008, and
was structured as the acquisition of (a) all of the stock of Trans-West Network Solutions, Inc.
(Trans-West) from the shareholders of Trans-West (the Trans-West Shareholders) and (b) all of
the membership interest of STN owned by
26
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.
Effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vicis,
pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000 in the Company and the Company issued to
Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to
purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should
be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included herewith. This
discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily
continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of
actual operating results in the future.
Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Margins
Total revenues from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $4,544,051 compared to
$4,533,447 reported for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $10,604. This
increase in revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of STN,
which added $2,096,017 to the Companys total revenues for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from
USVD and Brookside Technology Partners. While the Company believes that a portion of this decrease
in earnings may be due to general market and economic conditions, as discussed further
under Legal Proceedings, the Company is aggressively investigating the actions of certain former
employees of USVD undertaken both before and after their resignations
from USVD. Since the departure of the former USVD employees, the Company has
successfully hired sales and sales management personnel and
transitioned USVD operations and
administrative management to the Companys
management team.
Total revenues from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $9,545,350 compared to
$8,741,513 reported for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $803,837, or 9%. This
increase in revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of STN, which
added $4,281,956 to the Companys revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2009. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from
USVD and Brookside Technology Partners. While the Company believes that a portion of this decrease
in earnings may be due to general market and economic conditions, as discussed further
under Legal Proceedings, the Company is aggressively investigating the actions of certain former
employees of USVD undertaken both before and after their resignations from USVD. In addition,
during the first quarter of 2009, USVDs Kentucky region experienced ice storms and other harsh
weather which caused lengthy power outages for two weeks, which impacted recurring and new sales
business that resulted in less business activity for USVD and will
not be recovered. Since the departure of the former USVD employees, the
Company has successfully hired sales and sales management personnel
and transitioned USVD
operations and administrative management to the Companys management team.
Cost of sales was $1,696,552 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2,250,924 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $554,372 or 25%. This decrease was due to less cost of
sales associated with the decrease in revenues for USVD and Brookside Technology Partners discussed
above. The decrease in cost of sales was partially offset by the increase in cost of sales, in
conjunction with the increased revenues due to the acquisition of STN, which experienced an
increase in cost of sales of $777,881. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 37% and 50% for
the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to
increased profit margin realized on sales consummated in the second quarter 2009 versus the
comparative period in 2008. This improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is
primarily attributable to the Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, TeleficiencyTM, a universal focus on higher margin, application specific value added business and technology
solutions.
Cost of sales was $3,972,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $4,480,805 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $508,073 or 11%. The decrease was due to less cost of
sales associated with the decrease in revenues for USVD and Brookside Technology Partners discussed
above. The decrease in cost of sales was partially offset by the increase in cost of sales, in
conjunction with the increased revenues due to the acquisition of STN, which accounted for
$1,591,607 of the increase. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 42% and 51% for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to increased
profit margin realized on sales consummated in the first six months of 2009 versus the comparative
period in 2008. This improvement in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is
27
primarily attributable to the Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, TeleficiencyTM, a universal focus on higher margin, application specific value added business and technology
solutions.
Our gross margin was 63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to 50% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales is due primarily to the
Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, TeleficiencyTM , a universal focus on higher
margin, application specific value added business and technology solutions.
Our gross margin was 58% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 49% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2008. The significant improvement in gross margin percentage is due primarily to the
Companys multi-faceted and differentiated approach, TeleficiencyTM , a universal focus on higher
margin, application specific value added business and technology solutions.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $2,840,295 and $2,116,496 for the quarters ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively. This represented an increase of $723,799 or 34%. This increase in
general and administrative expenses in 2009 was due primarily to the acquisition of STN, which
accounted for $1,113,732 of the increase. This was partially offset by the decrease in general and
administrative expenses at USVD and Brookside Technology Partners of $295,797 due to
organizational sizing and direct cost cutting to reduce general and administrative expenses, and
the decrease in stock compensation expense of $91,136.
General and administrative expenses were $5,950,392 and $3,860,986 for the six months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This represented an increase of $2,089,406 or 54%. This increase
in general and administrative expenses in 2009 was due primarily to the acquisition of STN, which
accounted for $2,323,884 of the increase, partially offset by the decrease in general and
administrative expenses at USVD and Brookside Technology Partners of $234,478.
Amortization Expense
The Company recognized $516,713, and $1,348,200 of amortization expense for the quarters ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to the accounting treatment of the warrants issued and
amortization of intangible assets associated with the USVD and STN acquisitions. The decrease in
amortization expense of $831,487 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 versus the comparative period
in 2008, is primarily due to the amortization of the warrants issued in conjunction with the USVD
acquisition being fully amortized as of September 26, 2008.
The Company recognized $993,387 and $2,670,524 of amortization expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to the accounting treatment of the warrants issued
and amortization of intangible assets associated with the USVD and STN acquisitions. The decrease
in amortization expense of $1,677,137 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 versus the comparative
period in 2008, is primarily due to the amortization of the warrants issued in conjunction with the
USVD acquisition being fully amortized as of September 26, 2008.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $479,446 and $664,130 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This decrease of $184,684 was due primarily to the debt restructuring incurred with
the USVD acquisition to Series A Stock. This decrease was partially offset by the additional debt
incurred with the acquisition of STN.
Interest expense was $912,255 and $1,339,583 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This decrease of $427,328 was due primarily to the debt restructuring incurred with
the USVD acquisition to Series A Stock. This decrease was partially offset by the additional debt
incurred with the acquisition of STN.
Net Profit/Net Loss from Operations
We realized a net loss from operations of $1,032,224 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared
to a net loss from operations of $1,875,236 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This represents
a decrease in the net loss from operations of $843,012. This decrease in net loss from operations
is primarily due to the decrease in amortization expense of $831,487, the
28
increase in gross profit of $564,976 and the decrease in interest expense, partially offset by the
increase in general and administrative expense of $723,799.
We realized a net loss from operations of $2,360,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2009
compared to a net loss from operations of $3,673,323 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This
represents a decrease in the net loss from operations of $1,313,121. This decrease in net loss
from operations is primarily due to the decrease in amortization expense of $1,677,137, the
decrease in interest expense of $427,328, and the increase in gross profit of $1,311,910 and
partially offset by the increase in general and administrative expense of $2,089,406.
We realized a net loss of $1,032,224 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to a net loss
from operations of $1,327,978 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This represents a decrease in
the net loss from operations of $295,754. This decrease in net loss from is primarily due to
decrease in general and administrative expenses of $269,802 and the increase in gross profit of
$122,380. Although revenues decreased from the first quarter 2009 to the second quarter by
$457,248, the Company experienced a decrease in net loss. This was due primarily to the Companys
multi-faceted and differentiated approach, TeleficiencyTM , a universal focus on higher margin,
application specific value added business and technology solutions, as well as organizational
sizing and direct cost cutting reduced general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $1,087,872 at June 30, 2009. Additionally, effective
August 13, 2009, the Company and its senior creditor, Chatham Credit Management III, LLC
(Chatham),
further updated its letter agreement dated May 29, 2009 pursuant to
which, among other things, Chatham agreed, for the period July 31,
2009 through June 30, 2010 to suspend the Companys compliance
of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum leverage ratio contained in the credit
agreement.
The Company is in full compliance with its financial covenants under this agreement.
Additionally, effective June 1, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Vicis Capital Master Fund, a sub-trust of Vicis Capital Series Master Trust, and the Companys
largest preferred stockholder (Vicis), pursuant to which Vicis invested an additional $1,000,000
in the Company and the Company issued to Vicis 1,000,000 shares of the Companys Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The Company sustained a loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 of
approximately $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, sustained losses in 2008 and 2007 and
has a retained deficit of approximately $19.7 million. These losses were primarily due to the
amortization expense related to the accounting treatment of warrants issued in connection with the
debt raised to fund the USVD acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had
net cash used in operations of $1,032,626. Historically, the Company has relied on borrowings and
equity financings to maintain its operations. The Company believes it has enough cash to operate
for the coming year with its cash on hand, cash to be generated from operations and the borrowing
availability on its credit lines. However, the recent economic downturn could have a material
effect on its business operations.
The Company intends to acquire other similar companies and will require additional funds either
through borrowings or by raising additional equity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements
contained in this Report. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related
to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, and impairment of long-lived assets. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however,
we believe that our estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable.

Revenue Recognition
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 elements relative fair
value, if determinable, and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition criteria for each
element are fulfilled. The Companys 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 according to the terms of the contractual
arrangements then in effect. Revenue from this service is generally recognized over the term of the
subscription period or the terms of the contractual arrangements then in effect. A majority of
equipment sales and installation services revenues are billed in advance on a monthly basis based
upon the fixed price, and are included both accounts receivable and deferred income on the
accompanying balance sheets. Direct costs incurred on such contracts are deferred until the
related revenue is recognized and are included in deferred contract costs on the accompanying
balance sheets. 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of
Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not
required to provide the information requested by this Item 3.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), has 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, 2009, the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer
have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2009
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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company has hired accounting consultants to augment
its accounting staff and accounting and reporting capabilities. Management believes these are
material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As previously disclosed, in 2007, the Company purchased USVD from the Michael P. Fischer
Irrevocable Delaware Trust and the M. Scott Diamond Irrevocable Delaware Trust (the USVD Sellers)
pursuant to a Membership Purchase Agreement between the Company and the USVD Sellers, dated
September 26, 2007 (the USVD Agreement). The original purchase price was $15,429,242. As of June
30, 2009, the Company has paid to the USVD Sellers a total of $14,533,690, representing 94% of all
sums payable under the USVD Agreement.
In addition, in connection with the acquisition of USVD, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond were provided
employment agreements, pursuant to which they held the positions of CEO and COO, respectively at
USVD. The employee agreements provided Messrs. Fischer and Diamond with annual base salaries of
$105,000 and $145,000, respectively. As a result, until recently, the Company relied on Messrs.
Fischer and Diamond to continue to operate USVD.
However,
on May 12, 2009, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond notified the
Company that they considered their
employment to be constructively terminated as a result of the Company having failed to pay them,
collectively, an EBITDA earn-out payment of approximately $289,000 they claim they were due on
April 30, 2009. Since such time, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond have not shown up to work and they
have ceased performing any employment duties.
As discussed further above under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis, USVDs
revenues, under the direction of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, for the six months ended June 30,
2009 were approximately $2,700,000 lower than its revenues in the same period in 2008. This
decrease adversely impacted the Companys liquidity and subsequently the Companys largest equity
investor, Vicis, provided an additional capital infusion. Also, the Company and its primary lender,
Chatham, have made modifications to the Companys credit facility.
Fortunately,
USVDs first quarter decreased earnings were offset by increased earnings provided by
STN, as well as increased earnings at USVD for the second quarter under the direction of Brookside
Technology Holdings Corps management and other existing USVD and STN senior managers, discussed
further above under Business and Managements Discussion and Analysis. However, while the
Company may have this offset from these combined strong earnings, Messrs. Fischers and Diamonds
earn-outs were to be based solely on USVDs EBITDA. Given USVDs performance under Messrs.
Fischers and Diamonds stewardship prior to May 12, 2009, it is presently unclear whether they
would have earned any future earn-out payments subsequent to their alleged constructive
terminations.
In addition to their alleged constructive termination, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond claim that their
Restrictive Covenant Agreement entered into as part of their Employment Agreements signed with the
Company at the time of the USVD acquisition are now null and void and that, accordingly, they are
free to compete with the Company and USVD, and to solicit USVD employees. Subsequent to the
departures of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, on May 26, 2009, several USVD employees, mostly sales
personnel, entered the USVD premises unescorted and removed Company and personal belongings in
connection with their resignations from USVD and their new employment with a new company, which the Company believes is owned by Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and/or
some of their family members, either directly or indirectly.
In response to the actions of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond and certain former USVD employees, the
Company has worked diligently to secure USVD and its assets, employees, vendors, partners and
customers. USVDs employees, vendors, partners and customers have reconfirmed their support and
loyalty to USVD, despite the fact that many of them have been solicited by Unified Technologies.
On July 17, 2009, the USVD Sellers filed a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County,
Kentucky, alleging that the Company breached the USVD Agreement by failing to pay the previously
mentioned $289,000 EBITDA earn-out payment they claim they was due on April 30, 2009, in addition
to $1,750,000 of other future payments they claim they are entitled to accelerate as a result of
such alleged breach. The lawsuit calls for an acceleration of all money owed to the USVD Sellers
including: the $850,000 Seller Note, the $289,000 accrued EBITDA
earn-out and an additional $900,000 of
Minimum Cash Payments (as defined by the employment agreements of
Messrs. Fischer and Diamond) in connection with future estimations of earn-outs yet to be earned. The
Company has a note
31
payable USVD Sellers included in its long-term debt of $850,000 as well as an accrual for the
$289,000 accrued 2008 earn-out payment that the USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, claim is
due to them.
The Company is currently analyzing the forgoing civil action and, since their departures, has been
aggressively investigating the actions undertaken by of Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, as well as the
former USVD employees, both before and after their resignations. The litigation is in its early
stages, and it is premature to project its outcome. The Company intends to vigorously defend the
Circuit Court action and to pursue all available defenses, claims and counter claims against the
USVD Sellers, Messrs. Fischer and Diamond, and certain former USVD employees.
