BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all amounts in 000s except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented are those of Beacon Enterprise
Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to as the
Company, Beacon, we, us, or ours.
Beacon provides global, international and regional telecommunications and technology systems
infrastructure services, encompassing a comprehensive suite of consulting, design, installation,
and infrastructure management offerings. Beacons portfolio of infrastructure services spans all
professional and construction requirements for design, build and management of telecommunications,
network and technology systems infrastructure. Professional services offered include consulting,
engineering, program management, project management, construction services and infrastructure
management services. Beacon offers these services under either a comprehensive contract option or
unbundled to some global and regional clients.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and
2009 and for the three and nine months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and on the same basis as the annual audited
consolidated financial statements. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June
30, 2010, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity for nine months ended
June 30, 2010 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which Beacon considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
operating results and cash flows for the period presented. The results for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year
ending September 30, 2010 or for any future interim period. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Beacons consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in Beacons Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on
December 29, 2009.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Beacon Enterprise
Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Beacon
Solutions AG acquired on July 29, 2009 (see Note 4), BESG Ireland Ltd and Beacon CZ, which began
operations November 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010, respectively. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
7
Discontinued Operations
For purposes of determining discontinued operations, the Company has determined Beacon AG,
included with our European segment, is a component of the Company within the context of ASC 205-20
Discontinued Operations. A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be
clearly distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the
Company (see Note 4).
Revenue and Cost Recognition
Beacon applies the revenue recognition principles set forth under the Securities and Exchange
Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 with respect to all of our revenue. Accordingly,
we recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has
occurred, (iii) the vendors fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably
assured. Accordingly, it is our policy to determine the method of accounting for each of our
contracts at the inception of the arrangement and account for similar types of contracts using
consistent methodologies of accounting within the GAAP hierarchy. A discussion of our specific
revenue recognition policies by category is as follows:
Construction Type Contracts
On November 6, 2009 we entered into an approximately $25,000 fixed price construction type
contract, pursuant to which we have been engaged to act as the general contractor in the
construction of a data center that we expect to complete in two phases through October 2010. The
contract provides for a contingent penalty of 0.3% per month if the contract is not completed by an
agreed upon date, not to exceed 10% of the total contract price. We evaluated this contract at the
inception of the arrangement to determine the proper method of accounting based on the highest
level of literature within the GAAP hierarchy. We determined that the nature of our work under this
contact falls within the scope of a construction type contract for which revenue would most
appropriately be recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 we recognized approximately $2,447 and
$16,647 of revenues under the aforementioned contract, which is reported as discontinued operations
in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Note 4. We measured our
progress on this contract through June 30, 2010 under the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting in which the estimated sales value is determined on the basis of physical completion to
date (the total contract amount multiplied by percent of performance to date less sales value
recognized in previous periods). We adopted this method of measurement because management considers
this method the most objective measurement of progress in this circumstance.
8
When applicable we also record losses on contracts in progress during the period in which it
is determined that a loss would be incurred on a construction type contract.
Two vendors providing materials to us under this contract requested that we direct our
customer to remit payments for these materials, which amount to approximately $4,553 directly to
them. Notwithstanding this arrangement, we are still the primary obligor to our customer and have
general inventory risk for such purchases, which are being made under our purchase orders.
Accordingly, we are recording all revenues under this contract gross as a principal.
Time and Materials Contracts
Our time and materials type contracts principally include business telephone and data system
installation contracts completed in time frames of several weeks to 60 or 90 days. Under these
types of contracts, we generally design the system using in-house engineering labor, provide
non-proprietary materials supplied by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and install the
equipment using in-house or subcontracted labor. We occasionally sell extended warranties on
certain OEM supplied equipment; however the OEM is the primary obligor under such warranty coverage
and the amount of revenue we receive from such warranties is insignificant to the arrangements. Our
contracts clearly specify deliverables, selling prices and scheduled dates of completion. We also
generally require our customers to provide us with a 70% deposit that we initially record as a
liability and apply to subsequent billings. Title and risk of loss on materials that we supply to
our customers under these arrangements is transferred to the customer at the time of delivery. Our
contracts are cancelable upon 60 days notice by either party; however, completion of the work we
perform under these contracts, which occurs in a predictable sequence, is within our control at all
times. Amounts we bill for delivered elements are not subject to concession or contingency based
upon the completion of undelivered elements specified in our contracts.
We account for voice and data installation contracts as multipledeliverable revenue
arrangements. Prior to October 1, 2009 we accounted for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements
using the relative fair value method of accounting, which requires companies to have vendor
specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value in order for deliverables to be considered a
unit of accounting and to use the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration to
undelivered elements. We recognize revenue for delivered elements under these arrangements based on
the amount of arrangement considered allocated to the delivered element once all of the criteria
for revenue recognition have been met.
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2009-13
Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a consensus of the
FASB EITF 00-21-1 (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13, requires the use of the relative selling price
method of allocating arrangement consideration to units of accounting in a multiple-deliverable
revenue arrangement and eliminates the residual method. This new accounting principle establishes a
hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating arrangement consideration to
deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE), (ii)
third-party evidence of selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price
(ESP). ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010; however, companies may elect to apply
this guidance retrospectively or early adopt this guidance subject to the transition and disclosure
guidelines specified in ASC 605-25-65-1.
9
Effective October 1, 2009, we elected to early adopt ASU No. 2009-13 for all multiple-element
revenue arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2009. Using this method, we designate
deliverables within the arrangement as units of accounting when they are (a) deemed to have stand
alone value and (b) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered
item, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in
our control. ASU No. 2009-13 no longer requires companies to have VSOE of fair value in order for a
deliverable to be considered a unit of accounting. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 has not had a
material effect on the manner in which we designate units of accounting or allocate arrangement
consideration to such units because the selling prices of our deliverables, which is the principal
factor that differentiates the two accounting standards, generally approximates fair value.
We recognized approximately $167 and $580 from multiple element arrangements for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, we recognized approximately $390
and $1,274 from multiple element arrangements for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
We recognized $1,401 and $1,550 from time and material contacts that did not included
multiple-element arrangements for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2009, respectively.
Additionally, we recognized $4,519 and $3,200 from time and material contacts that did not included
multiple-element arrangements for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2009, respectively.
Professional Services Revenue
We generally bill our customers for professional telecommunications and data consulting
services based on hours of time spent on any given assignment at our hourly billing rates. As it
relates to delivery of these services, we recognize revenue under these arrangements as the work is
performed and the customer has indicated their acceptance of services by approving a completion
order. We generated approximately $1,980 and $909 of professional services revenue during the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We generated
approximately $4,780 and $2,644 of
professional services revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company accounts for sales taxes collected on behalf of government authorities using the
net method. Pursuant to this method, sales taxes are included in the amounts receivable and a
payable is recorded for the amounts due to the government agencies.
Warranties
Beacon warranties all phone system installations for 1 year. We have a low rate of claims with
respect to warranties. Accordingly we have accrued $34 and $47 as of June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity
securities and derivative financial instruments issued as purchase consideration in business
combinations and/or in financing transactions and in share based payment arrangements, accounts
receivable reserves, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances,
allocating the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
business combinations (including separately identifiable intangible assets and goodwill) and
estimating the fair values of long lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may be
necessary. Certain of our estimates, including accounts receivable and inventory reserves and the
carrying amounts of intangible assets could be affected by external conditions including those
unique to our industry and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these
external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ
from our estimates. We re-evaluate all of our accounting estimates at least quarterly based on
these conditions and record adjustments, when necessary.
10
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of
our short term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these
obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as
concurrent issuance of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of
returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance
of ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820
also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes
three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that
are observable
Level 3 inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on
assumptions)
Foreign Currency Reporting
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars in
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Accordingly, the Companys subsidiaries, BESG
Ireland Ltd, Beacon AG and Beacon CZ use the local currency (Euros, Swiss Francs and Czech Crowns,
respectively) as their functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange
rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expense accounts are translated at
average exchange rates during the period. Resulting translation adjustments of ($148) and ($47)
were recorded in comprehensive loss in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share available to common
stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and excludes
any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that
would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock. The
computation of loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 805 on business
combinations, which established principles and requirements as to how acquirers recognize and
measure in these financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed,
non-controlling interests and goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a
bargain purchase. This guidance is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on
or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009, which will have an impact on the
Companys accounting for any future business acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 810 on
consolidations, which establishes the accounting for non-controlling interests in a subsidiary and
the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance requires (a) the ownership interest in the
subsidiary held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the
consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parents equity, (b) the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be
clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and (c)
changes in a parents ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial
interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. Entities must provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the
interests of the non-controlling owners. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009 will have an impact on the Companys
accounting for any future business acquisitions involving non-controlling interest and
deconsolidation of subsidiaries.
In December 2008, the FASB issued ASC 815-40 Contracts in Entitys own Equity. This issue
addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an
entitys own stock. This issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under this
guidance, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative
instruments. The effects of having adopted this pronouncement effective October 1, 2009 are
discussed in Note 6.
12
In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 260 on earnings per
share, related to the determination of whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities. This guidance clarifies that all outstanding unvested
share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in
undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating
securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be
applied. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on
or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 323 on
investments equity method and joint ventures, relating to the accounting for equity method
investments. This guidance addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment
should be determined, how it should be tested for impairment, and how changes in classification
from equity method to cost method should be treated. This guidance is effective on a prospective
basis in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company expects this guidance to have an impact on its accounting for any future
investments in joint ventures or other investments using the equity method of accounting.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This Accounting Standards Update amends
Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Overall, to provide guidance on the fair
value measurement of liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 is not expected to have a material
impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-17, Revenue
Recognition Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. This standard
provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for
revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about
whether the milestones will be achieved. Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires
judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement. To meet the definition of a
substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be
commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement
in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3)
should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement. No
bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an
arrangement. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after
June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have
a material impact on the Companys condensed consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB and SEC and/or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENTS PLANS
For
the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of
$15,677 which includes a
loss from discontinued operations of $7,180 (see Note 4 for more details), a mark to market
adjustment on the fair value of common stock purchase warrants of $4,373, and cash used in
continuing operations of approximately $4,693 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Our
accumulated deficit amounted to approximately $36,807. We had cash and cash equivalents of $411 at
June 30, 2010 and a working capital deficit of $4,661.
The
results for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 contain nine months of results from our
European operations which generated sales of $2,237 with a gross
margin of 64%. The European margin
increased from 16% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 due to separation of the low margin
discontinued operations and is more reflective of continuing operations as we narrow our European
focus on core business.
13
While North American net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was only marginally
ahead of the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the gross margin grew to 44% from 31%. This margin
gain can be attributed to changing our product mix away from material and labor intensive services,
to higher margin telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure and managed services
which involve a higher level of professional services and significantly reduced material
requirements. This change is represented by a decrease in costs of goods sold of 61% and an
increase in cost of services of 56% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the nine
months ended June 30, 2009.
On August 16, 2010, one or our
directors agreed to provide us with a four million dollar credit
facility. The term is up to 18 months with an annual interest
rate of 7.73% on any outstanding balance and a facility fee of the
greater of forty thousand dollars or 1% on any unused balance. In
addition, this director will receive fifteen thousand warrants (five
year term at $1.00 per share) per month for each month the facility
is outstanding. The facility is secured by a pledge of common stock
held by our Chief Executive Officer.
Based on the recent progress we made in the execution of our business plan, we believe that
our currently available cash, the funds we expect to generate from operations and the proceeds of
our equity financing activities will enable us to effectively operate our business and repay our
debt obligations as they become due through June 30, 2011. However, we will require additional
capital in order to execute our long term business plan. If we are unable to raise additional
capital, or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we
will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not
necessarily be limited to, curtailing our business development activities, suspending the pursuit
of our business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that we
will raise additional capital,
nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if
at all.

Lines of Credit and Short-Term Notes
On December 16, 2009, we repaid the remaining principal balance of $50 due under a line of
credit with a maturity date previously extended through December 30, 2009.
On August 7, 2009, we entered into a non-interest bearing note with one of our directors in
the amount of $500 with a due date of September 9, 2009. The note contained a provision requiring
written demand for repayment on or after the maturity date. As of June 30, 2010 no written demand
was received. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 we exercised a contractual right to
convert the note into a demand obligation that would become payable within a 5 day period following
written notice of such demand. We paid a fee equal to $88 in cash and issued an additional 112,500
common stock purchase warrants exercisable for $1.00 per share to the lender/director upon the
occurrence of this event, for which we recognized non-cash interest of $64 for the fair value of
the warrants. The note was paid in full on December 17, 2009.
On February 26, 2010, we received $500 in loan proceeds and issued a related short-term,
non-interest bearing promissory note, which is secured but subordinate to all existing senior debt
outstanding. Terms of the note include a principal payment of $250 on March 31, 2010 with the
balance of $250, in addition to a $10 origination fee, to be paid on April 30, 2010. In agreement
with the note holder, the March 31, 2010 payment was extended through and paid on April 1, 2010.
The remaining $250 plus $10 origination fee was paid on April 30, 2010.
Convertible Notes Payable
On January 22, 2009, Beacon entered into convertible notes payable with a group of private
investors (the Notes) facilitated by a broker/dealer. Proceeds of the Notes were $500 in the
aggregate. The Notes had an original maturity date of July 21, 2009 with interest payable at a
fixed annual rate of 12.5% due monthly. The maturity date of the Notes was extended to January 21,
2010 with interest payable at a fixed annual rate of 15% per annum on the unpaid balance due on the
note, which amounted to $298 at September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 we
repaid the remaining principal and recognized $1 of interest expense.
Bridge Notes
On November 15, 2007, we issued $200 of convertible notes payable (the Bridge Notes) in a
separate debt financing. Of this amount, $100 of the Bridge Notes was issued to one of our
directors. The holders of the Bridge Notes pursuant to three separate amendments completed through
November 20, 2008, agreed unconditionally not to demand repayment of the notes before June 30,
2010. On March 31, 2010, the non-director Bridge Note holder elected to convert the unpaid
principal and accrued interest of $110 to 183,620 common shares. Accordingly, the remaining $100
note is presented as a current liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2010.
17
We recorded contractual interest expense of approximately $0 and $6 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recorded contractual interest expense of approximately $4
and $19 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Further, we recorded
aggregate accretion of the discount on these notes of approximately $0 and $24 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively which is classified as a component of interest expense
in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. We recorded aggregate
accretion of the discount on these notes of approximately $33 and $72 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively which is classified as a component of interest expense in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The discount relating to a beneficial
conversion feature was recorded upon the original issuance of these notes and is fully amortized.
Term Debt
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, Beacon paid approximately $388 of principal due on
our term debt. We recorded interest expense of approximately $17 and $47 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We recorded interest expense of approximately $58 and $85
for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE 4 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As previously disclosed in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 12,
2009, Beacon Solutions AG, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beacon, entered into a project management
services agreement with Interxion for the design and construction of a data center in Zurich,
Switzerland. Phase 1 of the agreement relates to the first 2,500 square feet of the facility and
the Company maintains that Phase 1 was completed in June 2010. Phase 2 of the agreement relates to
the completion of the data center and was valued to the Company at approximately $10,000 in
revenue. Beacon Solutions AGs operations consist solely of the Interxion contract and have
previously been presented in the Companys European operating segment.
In June 2010, Interxion notified the Company that it was terminating the agreement due to
breach and cancelling Phase 2. Interxion and the Company entered into negotiations regarding the
possible continuation of the agreement, but as of the date of the filing of this report, the
negotiations to continue the agreement have ceased. Therefore, the Company is presenting the
results of operations of Beacon Solutions AG as discontinued operations.
The net loss from discontinued operations is a result of non-payment for services the Company
performed before the cancellation; the Company is pursuing various avenues to attempt to remedy the
non-payment for services. Revenue and expenses associated with Beacon Solutions AG have been
reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Engagement of Investor Relations Firm
On January 20, 2009, we engaged an investor relations firm to aid us in developing a marketing
plan directed at informing the investing public as to our business and increasing our visibility to
FINRA registered broker/dealers, the investing public and other institutional investors and fund
managers. On June 5, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized us to issue 150,000 shares of common
stock to the same investor relations firm subject to the attainment of certain performance
conditions. The performance based arrangement supersedes the previous agreement entered into on
January 20, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 no shares were deemed to have been
earned as of the date of issuance. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 50,000 shares with an
aggregate fair value of $45 were deemed to have been earned as of the date of issuance. The common
stock issued under this agreement was recorded as professional fees expense using the measurement
principles enumerated under ASC 505 Equity-Based Payment to Non-Employee.
On December 17, 2009, we engaged another investor relations firm for a twenty four month
period, the commitment date being November 1, 2009, providing for compensation payable in 50,000
shares of fully vested non-forfeitable common stock with an aggregate fair value of $45. For the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $11 and $15 of investor
relations expense related to this agreement.
Consulting Agreement
On December 1, 2009, we entered into two 36 month consulting agreements, which were
subsequently extended to 60 months in April 2010, issuing an aggregate of 2,500,000 consulting
warrants. The warrants, issued on December 1, 2009 were fully vested upon issuance and have a fair
value of $915, as determined using the Black Scholes model with assumptions indicated in the table
below, as of December 1, 2009 of which we will recognize investor relations expense ratably over a
60 month term. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded approximately $45 and
$107 investor relation expense related to these agreements.

NOTE 7 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Authorized Capital
The Company is currently authorized to issue up to 70,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
which three series have been designated: 4,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
1,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and 4,000 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock.
Preferred Stock
Each share of Series A, Series A-1 and Series B preferred has voting rights equal to an
equivalent number of common shares into which it is convertible. The holders of the Series A and
Series A-1 are entitled to receive contractual cumulative dividends in preference to any dividend
on the common stock at the rate of 10% per annum on the initial investment amount commencing on the
date of issue. The holders of the Series B are entitled to receive contractual cumulative dividends
in preference to any dividend on the common stock (but subject to the rights of the Series A and
Series A-1) at the rate of 6% per annum on the initial investment amount commencing on the date of
issue. Such dividends are payable on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year.
Dividends accrued but unpaid on June 30, 2010 are $43 for Series A, $27 for Series A-1 and $63 for
Series B, respectively.
The Series A, A-1 and B Preferred Stock also contains a right of redemption in the event of
liquidation or a change in control. The redemption feature provides for payment of 125% of the face
value plus any accrued unpaid dividends in the event of bankruptcy, change of control, or any
actions to take the Company private. The amount of the redemption preference is $92, $423 and $954
for the Series A, A-1, and B preferred, respectively, as of June 30, 2010.
The Company applies the classification and measurement principles enumerated in ASC 815 with
respect to accounting for its issuances of the Series A, A-1, and B preferred stock. The Company is
required, under Nevada law, to obtain the approval of its Board of Directors in order to effectuate
a merger, consolidation or similar event resulting in a more than 50% change in control or a sale
of all or substantially all of its assets.
We evaluate convertible preferred stock at each reporting date for appropriate balance sheet
classification.
Preferred Stock Dividend
We follow the guidelines of ASC 505 Dividends and Stock Splits when accounting for pay-in-kind
(PIK) dividends that are settled in convertible securities with beneficial conversion features.
Therefore, we recorded $24 and $0 as deemed dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively, related to the conversion feature based on the difference between the effective
conversion price of the conversion option and the fair value of the common stock on the PIK
election dates. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recorded $93 and $187,
respectively as deemed dividends related to the conversion feature based on the difference between
the effective conversion price of the conversion option and the fair value of the common stock on
the election dates.
Preferred Stock Conversions to Common Stock
For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, holders of our Preferred Stock elected to convert
1,993 shares of Series A and 462 shares of A-1 Preferred Stock into 3,286,372 shares of our common
stock.
Completion of Common Stock and Warrant Offering
On September 18, 2009, Beacon commenced a Private Placement of up to $3,000 of common units at
a price of $.80 per unit. Each Unit consists of (I) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year
warrant to purchase one-half share of Common Stock (each, a Common Offering Warrant) at a
purchase price of $1.00 per share (collectively the Common Offering). In the event that the
Common Offering is oversubscribed, we may sell and issue up to an additional 1,250,000 Common
Units.
The September Common Offering expired on December 15, 2009. During the nine months ended June
30, 2010, we sold 3,795,295 Common Units to accredited investors for net proceeds of $2,398 (gross
proceeds of $2,983, less offering costs of $585). We issued to certain agents who represented us in
sales of the units, warrants to purchase 448,500 shares of our common stock.
The Common Offering Warrants issued to agents and investors in this transaction each have a
five year exercise period and an exercise price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, payable in cash
on the exercise date or cashless conversion if a registration statement or current prospectus
covering the resale of the shares underlying the Common Offering Warrants is not effective or
available at any time more than six months after the date of issuance of the Common Offering
Warrants. The warrants feature standard anti-dilution provisions for stock splits, stock dividends
and similar types of recapitalization events. These warrants also featured weighted average price
protection for subsequent issuances of equity securities at prices more favorable than the exercise
price stipulated in these warrants. This provision was rescinded during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, for additional information see the Derivative Financial Instruments
disclosure below. In addition, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a
registration statement for the resale of any shares issued and shares underlying common stock
purchase warrants issued in these private placements.
21
These registration rights do not provide for the Company to incur any penalties for its
failure to file, cause or maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements; however, the
Company is subject to a penalty in the amount of 2% of the gross proceeds per month in the event it
fails to maintain compliance with the Exchange Act reporting requirements. The Company believes it
is probable that it will not incur any such penalties.
Cashless Warrant Conversions
For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 holders of 1,597,007 Common Stock Warrants elected to
exercise the cashless conversion options thereby redeeming 450,072 shares, including 432,259 shares
issued upon the exercise of 1,512,907 warrants as described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As described in Note 1, we were required to adopt certain changes in the derivative accounting
rules that required us to (i) reclassify certain common stock purchase warrants we issued in

fair value as of October 1, 2009, (ii) record all new issuances of derivatives that do not have
fixed settlement provisions as liabilities and (iii) mark to market all such derivatives to fair
value through March 30, 2010, which immediately precedes the date on which the removal of
anti-dilution provisions in our derivative financial instruments became effective.
Effective October 1, 2009, the Company reclassified the fair value of all common stock
purchase warrants issued prior to October 1, 2009 from equity to liabilities at their aggregate
fair value of $4,628. We recorded a corresponding charge to the accumulated deficit to recognize
the cumulative effects of having adopted this accounting policy. We calculated the adoption date
fair values for these derivatives using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions:

We also performed a classification assessment of the common stock warrants issued to
investors and agents in the common units offering described above on their respective dates of
issuance. We determined that the common stock purchase warrants, as originally issued, did not
contain fixed settlement provisions because the strike price was subject to adjustment in the event
we subsequently issued equity securities or equity linked securities with exercise prices lower
than the exercise price of these warrants. Accordingly, we allocated $1,094 of the offering
proceeds to the fair value of the warrants on their respective dates of issuance and recorded them
as liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet through the date on which the removal of
anti-dilution provisions in our derivative financial instruments became effective. We calculated
the issuance date fair values of these derivatives using the Black-Scholes option pricing model

On March 8, 2010, the Company announced an offer to the holders of its warrants
that contain anti-dilution protection providing them with the option of (i) exercising their
warrants for cash at discount of $0.10 off the contractual exercise price, (ii) exercising their
warrants pursuant to a cashless exercise provision at the contractual exercise price (which
results in a net share settlement) , or (iii) consent to the elimination of the anti-dilution
protection clause that caused the warrants not to be indexed to the Companys own stock. As of
March 31, 2010, a required majority of warrant holders consented to the removal of anti-dilutions
provisions which resulted in the elimination of such anti-dilution provisions.

On March 30, 2010, immediately prior to the completion of our offer to the warrant holders, we
marked all remaining derivative financial instruments to fair value, including the warrants
exercised for cash at a discount of $0.10 off the contractual exercise price. The aggregate fair
value of all such warrants amounted to $10,095. We calculated the fair values these derivatives
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

On March 31, 2010, we reclassified the warrant liability on our balance sheet to
stockholders equity. The difference between the aggregate fair value of the warrants reclassified
to liabilities on October 1, 2009, which amounted to $10,095, and the total fair value of warrants
reclassified to liabilities as of October 1, 2009 and additional
warrants issued between October 1, 2009 and March 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $4,373 and is reflected as the change in fair value of
warrants in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months
ended June 30, 2010.
As of June 30, 2010, pursuant to this offer, the Company issued 4,738,966 shares of common
stock. Those warrant holders who elected to exercise these instruments for cash at a $0.10
discount from the contractual exercise price. Net proceeds from these exercises amounted $3,626
(gross proceeds of $4,331 less costs of $705). The Company also issued 423,331 net shares of
common stock to warrant holders electing to exercise 1,481,965 warrants pursuant to the cashless
exercise alternative.
Issuance of non-employee compensatory options
In consideration for services, we have granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of Common
Stock vesting ratably over a 36 month period. We calculated the fair value of the options using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: Stock price $.54,
Volatility 66.34%, Risk free interest rate 2.09%, Expected life 120 months and Dividend
yield 0.00%, resulting in a fair value determination of $188, to be recognized over a 36
month period. For the three and nine months ending June 30, 2010, we recognized share based
compensation expense of approximately $16 and $19 respectively, related to these options.

NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
We calculate our interim tax provision in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-270,
Income Taxes; Interim Reporting. For interim periods, we estimate our annual effective income tax
rate and apply the estimated rate to our year-to-date income or loss before income taxes. We also
compute the tax provision or benefit related to items we report separately and recognize the items
net of their related tax effect in the interim periods in which they occur. We also recognize the
effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.
In computing the annual estimated effective tax rate we make certain estimates and judgments,
such as estimated annual taxable income or loss, the nature and timing of permanent and temporary
differences between taxable income for financial reporting and tax reporting, and the
recoverability of deferred tax assets. Our estimates and assumptions may change as new events
occur, additional information is obtained, or as the tax environment changes.
As of September 30, 2009, we have approximately $10,600 of federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards, available to offset future taxable income, if any. These carryforwards expire
in 2023 through 2029. Deferred tax liabilities represent the difference between the financial
reporting and income tax bases of the tax deductible goodwill, which is an asset with an indefinite
life and therefore cannot be used to offset net deferred tax assets for purposes of establishing a
valuation allowance.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a net income tax
expense of $44 comprised of
the following:

For Beacon North America we did not recognize a tax benefit due to the related valuation
allowance.
The tax charge for Beacon North America represents an increase in the deferred tax liability
for tax deductible goodwill, which has an indefinite life and is therefore not being netted against
other deferred tax assets with finite lives.
NOTE 9 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Options and Other Equity Compensation Plans
On November 12, January 22, February 5 and March 22, 2010, our Board of Directors authorized
the Company to grant employee stock options to purchase 100,000, 60,000, 200,000 and 25,000 shares
of common stock respectively. We calculated the fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions:

We value stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In determining the expected
term, we separate groups of employees that have historically exhibited similar behavior with regard
to option exercises and post-vesting cancellations. The option-pricing model requires the input of
subjective assumptions, such as those listed below. The volatility rates are based on historical
stock prices of similarly situated companies and expectations of the future volatility of the
Companys common stock. The expected life of options granted are based on historical data, which to
date is a partial option life cycle, adjusted for the remaining option life cycle by assuming
ratable exercise of any unexercised vested options over the remaining term. The risk-free interest
rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The total expense to
be recorded in future periods will depend on several variables, including the number of share-based
awards.
Shares granted vest 33% annually as of the anniversary of the grant through 2011 and carry a
ten year contractual term. As of June 30, 2010, 1,908,462 shares were vested. As of June 30, 2010,
there was approximately $1,774 in non-cash share-based compensation cost related to non-vested
awards not yet recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This cost is
expected to be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of 4.4 years.
Richard C. Mills, the president of the Company, resigned effective May 15, 2010. Pursuant to
the separation agreement with the Company, 210,750 additional shares of restricted common stock
granted on December 5, 2007 were vested and the options granted on May 8, 2009 became exercisable
with respect to 500,000 shares of common stock for a five year period beginning on the effective
date of the termination. The modification resulted in an expense of $93 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2010.
26
Restricted Stock
Prior to adoption of the 2008 Incentive Plan, on December 5, 2007, we issued 782,250 shares of
restricted common stock with an aggregate fair value of $667 to our then president in exchange for
$156. Immediately upon the sale, 150,000 shares vested with the remaining shares vesting in
quantities of 210,750 shares on each of December 20, 2008, 2009 and 2010. As of May 2010 upon the
presidents termination of employment, the remaining non-vested shares immediately vested and the
expense recognized. We recognized $166 and $45 of share-based compensation expense during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with this grant. We
recognized $221 and $135 of share-based compensation expense during the nine months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively, in connection with this grant.
Note 10 Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280 Segment Reporting, our operating segments are those components of
our business for which separate and discrete financial information is available and is used by our
chief operating decision makers, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how we allocate
resources and assess performance.
In accordance with ASC 280, the Company reports three operating segments, as a result of
having completed the Symbiotec acquisition on July 29, 2009 and opening the BESG Ireland Ltd
office. Prior to the Symbiotec Solutions AG acquisition, we operated as a single segment. The
Companys chief decision-makers review financial information presented on a consolidated basis,
accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and operating profit each year by operating
segment. This information is used for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial
performance.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies. Segment data includes segment revenue, segment operating
profitability, and total assets by segment. Shared corporate operating expenses are reported in the
United States (U.S.) segment.
The Company is organized primarily on the basis of operating units which are segregated by
geography in the U.S. and Europe. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 our segment results,
net of Discontinued Operations (see Note 4 for more details) are as follows:

Overview
Beacon was formed for the purpose of acquiring and consolidating regional telecom businesses
and service platforms into an integrated, national provider of high quality voice, data and VOIP
communications to small and medium-sized business enterprises (the SME Market). The Company was
originally formed to acquire companies that would allow it to serve the SME Market on an
integrated, turn-key basis from system design, procurement and installation through all aspects of
providing network service and designing and hosting network applications. In response to
identification of a significant un-served market, our business strategy has shifted to become a
leading provider of global, international and regional telecommunications and technology systems
infrastructure services, encompassing a comprehensive suite of consulting, design, installation,
and infrastructure management offerings, while continuing to provide managed information technology
and telecommunications services in selected local markets.
Acquisition Growth Strategy
We
are continuing to pursue mergers and acquisitions for a portion of
our growth.
A key component of our growth strategy is through strategic acquisitions. These potential
acquisition candidates must meet specific criteria including the following;
|
|
|
Accretive to earnings in the first year. |
|
|
|
|
Strategic locations throughout the US and Europe where we have significant concentrations of demand for our service
offerings. |
|
|
|
|
Highly trained technical staff that can meet our internal requirements and the requirements of our Global customers. |
We may not be successful in our search for potential acquisition candidates that are
acceptable for our business model, or we may not be successful in our attempts to acquire new
businesses that we have identified as attractive acquisition candidates.
30
Organic Growth Strategy
With respect to our plans to increase revenue organically, we have identified, and are currently
pursuing, several significant strategies;
|
|
|
The first strategy is to expand the a la carte services
offered to existing major national, multi-national and
global clients who have not already signed an
infrastructure managed services agreement. This has been
initiated by the hiring of branch level account managers
focused on the sale of individual infrastructure services
and the global managed services offering. With
reorganization of the professional services team
structure, it permits Beacon to accommodate branch level
services delivery to potential global clients. |
|
|
|
|
The second strategy is to add regional branches to the
existing branches in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio,
Louisville, Kentucky and Raritan, NJ. The additional
branches will be strategically located to provide regional
coverage and depth of resources to support global client
demand. |
|
|
|
|
The third strategy is to add regional and major account
sales resources in each new branch. This will facilitate
the introduction of Fortune 1000, Global 2000 and
qualifying multi-national firms. We refer to these current
and future clients as Fortune 10000. |

Net of the Discontinued Operations (see Note 4 for more details), our expansion into Europe,
which began in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, has generated net
sales of approximately $781 for the three months ended June 30,
2010 consisting of approximately $728
of professional services, and $53 of time and material services. Net of the Discontinued
Operations (see Note 4 for more details), for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 our European
operations have generated net sales of approximately $2,327
consisting of approximately $2,201 of
professional services, and $126 of time and material services.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2010 amounted to approximately $15 and
consisted primarily of subcontractor costs. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, cost of goods
sold amounted to $844 and consisted primarily of subcontractor costs of approximately $352, direct
project related costs of $363 and materials costs of $129. Salaries and benefits of approximately
$174 and $713 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 consisted of salaries and related
benefits.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
approximately $342, including approximately $48 of accounting and professional fees primarily
related to the organization of the European operations, $112 of travel related expenses, $31 of
outside services, $17 of rent and other office related supplies, $27 of telecommunications and data
related expenses, depreciation and amortization of $30 and $7 of miscellaneous other expenses
incurred to establish operations. Additionally a corporate royalty of $70 charged to the European
business for administrative functions provided by the North American corporate office is recorded
and eliminated upon consolidation. Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months
ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $916, including approximately $258 of accounting and
professional fees, $160 of travel related expenses, $43 of recruiting expenses, $49 of rent and
other office related supplies, $51 of telecommunications and data related expenses, depreciation
and amortization of $63 and $89 of miscellaneous other expenses incurred to establish operations.
Additionally a corporate royalty of $203 charged to the European business for administrative
functions provided by the North American corporate office is recorded and eliminated upon
consolidation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For
the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of
$15,677, which includes a
loss from discontinued operations of $7,180 (see Note 4 for more details), a mark to market
adjustment on the fair value of common stock purchase warrants of $4,373, and cash used in
operations of approximately $4,693 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. Our accumulated deficit
amounted to approximately $36,807. We had cash and cash equivalents of $411 at June 30, 2010 and a
working capital deficit of $4,661.
The results for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 contain nine months of results from our
European operations which generated sales of $2,237 with a gross
margin of 64%. The European margin
increased from 16% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 due to separation of the low margin
discontinued operations and is more reflective of continuing operations as we narrow our European
focus on core business.
While North American net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was only marginally
ahead of the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the gross margin
grew to 44% from 31%. This margin
gain can be attributed to changing our product mix away from material and labor intensive services,
to higher margin telecommunications and technology systems infrastructure and managed services
which involve a higher level of professional services and significantly reduced material
requirements. This change is represented by a decrease in costs of goods sold of 61% and an
increase in cost of services of 56% for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the nine
months ended June 30, 2009.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities of $4,693
consisted primarily of a net loss of approximately $15,677, $7,180 of which was attributable to
discontinued operations, an increase in accounts receivables of $1,109 and a decrease in accrued
expenses and account payable of $1,907 and $365, respectively. Additionally, a mark to market
adjustment on the fair value of common stock purchase warrants of $4,373, non-cash share based
compensation increase of $1,131 and cash provided by discontinued operations of $843 offset the
cash usage.
Cash used in investing activities of $504 consisted of capital expenditures of $321 related to
our overall continuing operations and $183 of capital expenditures related to the discontinued
operations.
Cash provided by financing activities of $5,293 was derived primarily from approximately
$2,398 of net proceeds from the sale of common stock, net proceeds from warrant conversions of
$3,631, proceeds of $500 from issuance of short term notes, and offset by repayments of bridge,
convertible and note payables of $1,236.
On August 16, 2010, one or our
directors agreed to provide us with a four million dollar credit
facility. The term is up to 18 months with an annual interest
rate of 7.73% on any outstanding balance and a facility fee of the
greater of forty thousand dollars or 1% on any unused balance. In
addition, this director will receive fifteen thousand warrants (five
year term at $1.00 per share) per month for each month the facility
is outstanding. The facility is secured by a pledge of common stock
held by our Chief Executive Officer.
Based on the recent progress we made in the execution of our business plan, we believe that
our currently available cash, the funds we expect to generate from operations and the proceeds of
our equity financing activities will enable us to effectively operate our business and repay our
debt obligations as they become due through June 30, 2011. However, we will require additional
capital in order to execute our long term business plan. If we are unable to raise additional
capital, or encounter unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on our capital resources, we
will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not
necessarily be limited to, curtailing our business development activities, suspending the pursuit
of our business plan, and controlling overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that we
will raise additional capital,
nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, if
at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have four operating lease commitments for real estate used for office space and production
facilities.

Interest obligations assume Prime Rate of 3.25% at June
30, 2010. Interest rate obligations are presented
through the maturity dates of each component of
long-term debt. |
|
(2) |
|
Operating lease obligations represent payment
obligations under non-cancelable lease agreements
classified as operating leases. |
Dividends on Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock are payable quarterly at an annual rate of 10%
and Series B Preferred Stock is payable quarterly at an annual rate of 6%, in cash or the issuance
of additional shares of Series A, A-1, and B Preferred Stock, at our option. If we were to fund
dividends accruing during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 in cash, the total obligation would
be $545 based on the number of shares of Series A, A-1 and B Preferred Stock outstanding as of June
30, 2009.
We currently anticipate the cash requirements for capital expenditures, operating lease
commitments and working capital will likely be funded with our existing fund sources and cash
provided from operating activities. In the aggregate, total capital expenditures are not expected
to exceed $750 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and can be curtailed based on actual
results of operations.
Customers
Because Beacon provides infrastructure management services to global and multi-national
clients, the primary target clients can be defined as the Fortune 1000, or the broader Forbes
Global 2000. Global clients may also elect to use Beacons services in an a la carte fashion,
typically using Design & Engineering services which are more portable when used outside of an
infrastructure managed services contract vehicle. The business model for global, multi-national and
regional clients who use one or more unbundled services allows for migration to a fully managed
services offering where all services are offered under a single contractual umbrella. At the
beginning of FY 2010, Beacon unveiled a regional branch business model that allowed larger local
companies, especially those with multiple sites to leverage the same consulting, design,
contracting, project management or even infrastructure management services offered to our global
clients. This regional branch model allows smaller companies who have no interest in global managed
infrastructure services, or who want to sample Beacons services to do so with minimal risk
associated with a long term contract. Further, this regional branch model allows Beacon to increase
the depth of resources across a given country or region, adding scalability to global and
multi-national service delivery, while providing an intake vehicle for future global clients.
35
Competition
Beacons service delivery offerings, and therefore its competitors, can be divided into two
broad categories. First, services that are offered individually, generally in response to the
client needs for a single service within a single project and secondly, services that are offered
as a single source package (managed services and outsourcing) and delivered as part of a regional,
national, multi-national or global contract, generally with a specified window of time vs. for a
single project or task. When offering a single service in response to a single project, there are
numerous competitors. These mid to small-sized competitors tend to be single site or confined to
small geographic regions and generally aggressively compete for private or publicly announced work.
Further, they typically specialize in and are good at only one service out of the 5 or 6 that the
client may actually need. These smaller, single service competitors are generally viewed as being
commoditized. Beacons Branch model allows us to successfully leverage the bigger managed services
offering and introduce scalability by allowing our clients the option to expand the number of
services offered and the geography over which the service is delivered. By removing the business
risk associated with having only a single service to offer to new and existing clients, it further
allows Beacon to differentiate itself by offering a higher level of service with a more predictable
price. So by leveraging the multi-service, global capabilities of Beacon, this provides a
significant competitive edge for the first category of competitors, but reduces the pool of
competitors for the full-spectrum managed infrastructure services offered across broad geographic
areas. There are several national infrastructure firms, such as Black Box and Netversant that have
the size and possibly the funding to become direct competitors, but by nature of their size and
current business models they would experience significant internal resistance to change. Their past
successes in the narrowly focused services arena, combined with their size would provide internal
and external barriers to entry, and may well convert many potential competitors into clients as the
value of the expanded Beacon managed services model gains wider recognition and market share.
Employees
Beacon currently employs approximately 98 people, 92 in the Columbus, OH, Louisville, KY,
Raritan, NJ and Cincinnati, OH markets. Beacon currently employs 6 in Prague, Czech Republic. None
of Beacons employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Facilities
Beacons executive offices are located at 1311 Herr Lane, Suite 205, Louisville, KY 40222 in
2,142 square feet of office space leased through March 30, 2010, extended thereafter on a month to
month basis. Additionally, we have offices in Louisville, KY consisting of 8,150 square feet of
office space leased through December 31, 2010, Cincinnati, OH consisting of 3,675 square feet of
office space leased through October 31, 2010, Columbus, OH consisting of 7,018 square feet leased
through December 31, 2014, and Prague, Czech Republic consisting of approximately 2,109 square feet
leased through July 31, 2011. We believe our facilities are adequate for the continuing operations
of our existing business.
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions
The Company has obtained insurance through an agency owned by one of its founding
stockholders/directors. Insurance expense paid through the agency for the three months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $46 and $23, respectively, and $123 and $88 respectively for
the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and is included in selling, general and
administrative expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Under a marketing agreement with a company owned by the spouse of Beacons former president,
we provide procurement and installation services as a subcontractor. We earned net sales of
approximately $109 and $424 for procurement and installation services provided under this marketing
agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the nine months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively we earned net sales of approximately $164 and $817 for
procurement and installation services provided under this marketing agreement. As of June 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively, we had accounts receivable of approximately $133 and $467 with respect to
this marketing agreement.
36
Filing Status
Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation has in the past filed reports
with the SEC and will continue to do so as Beacon. You can read and copy any materials we file with
the SEC at its Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. You can obtain
additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at
1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains
reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the Commission, including us.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is
accumulated and communicated to our executive officers to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. As of June 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer, who acts in the capacity of principal
executive officer and our Chief Financial Officer who acts in the capacity of principal financial
officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of June 30, 2010, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required
by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
Disclosure controls are designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable
assurance that our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported and our assets are
safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, including all applicable
SEC regulations.
As of September 30, 2009, management of our Company had reported at previous dates of
assessment that we identified various deficiencies in our accounting processes and procedures that
constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and disclosure
controls. We took certain steps during the year ended September 30, 2009 to correct previously
reported material weaknesses that include, among other things, consolidating all legacy systems
into a single unified accounting system, hiring additional personnel and undertaking the process of
documenting our controls; however, we still need to make substantial progress in these areas before
we can definitively conclude that we have remediated our material weaknesses.
Management has specifically observed that the Companys accounting systems and current
staffing resources in the Companys finance department are currently insufficient to support the
complexity of our financial reporting requirements. The Company has in the past, and is continuing
to experience difficulty in (i) closings its books and records at quarterly and annual reporting
periods on a timely basis, (ii) generating data in a form and format that facilitates the timely
analysis of information needed to produce financial reports and (iii) applying complex accounting
and financial reporting disclosure rules as required under various aspects of GAAP and SEC
reporting regulations such as those relating to accounting for business combinations, stockholders
equity transactions, derivatives and income taxes. The Company also has limited segregation of
duties and it is becoming increasingly necessary for the Company to divide certain custodial,
recordkeeping and authorization functions between its Chief Financial Officer, Controller, and
supporting staff to mitigate the risk of material misstatements.
37
We believe that our internal control risks are sufficiently mitigated by the fact that our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer review and approve substantially all of our
major transactions and we have, when needed, hired outside experts to assist us with implementing
complex accounting principles. We believe that our weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting and our disclosure controls relate in part to the fact that we are an emerging business
with limited personnel. Management and the audit committee of the Board of Directors believe that
the company must allocate additional human and financial resources to address these matters.
Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 the Company began the process of monitoring
its current reporting systems and its personnel and hired a corporate controller to support the
Company in its compliance process. The Company intends to continue making necessary changes until
its material weaknesses are remediated.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal
quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control
over financial reporting.
