BKSD BluePrint Technologies Inc (CE)

Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: BKSD), a provider of converged VoIP, data, video and wireless business communications systems, today announced financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Michael Nole, Chairman and CEO of Brookside, commented, "We are pleased to report total revenues from operations were $4,544,051 compared to $4,533,447 reported for the same period in 2008, representing an increase of $10,604. While it's certainly been a challenging first half to 2009, we are seeing indicators that have us encouraged as we move forward. During the second quarter, we recognized positive results attributed to our company focus and initiatives to manage costs in line with estimated revenues. Evidence of this is displayed in our financial results. While second quarter revenue was ahead of revenue for the same period in 2008, it was slightly less compared to first quarter revenue. However, net loss of $1,032,224 in the second quarter 2009 decreased $295,754 from $1,327,978 in the first quarter 2009. These net losses include a significant amount of non-cash expenses such as amortization of warrants, loan discounts, deferred finances charges and intangibles of $619,003 for the second quarter 2009 and $606,928 for the first quarter 2009."

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure whereby interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization are added back to the net loss to approximate cash flow, improved from ($383,363) for quarter ended March 31, 2009 to ($334) for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Brookside makes use of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as a financial measure because it believes it is a useful performance indicator. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/loss or net cash provided by operating activities. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss is set forth below:

Mr. Nole continued, "With the market improving, positive organizational changes, continued management of our costs, financial support from our lenders and our customers further recognizing the intrinsic value of VoIP communications, we see this as a time to help our customers leverage technology to render maximum results with minimum effort, expense and waste. Our multifaceted and differentiated Telefficiency(TM) approach combines a strategic mix of consultation and technology solutions to improve business performance from enhancing customer service, increasing sales, and controlling operating costs."

Mr. Nole concluded, "With an updated amendment to our Chatham Senior Credit Agreement, the Company has the support from both Chatham and Vicis, the Company's largest shareholder, to continually develop its business plan as a industry consolidator and provider of converged Voice over IP (VoIP), data, video, and wireless (Wi-Fi) business communications systems."
