Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(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. (“Beacon” or the “Company”), which was originally formed in the State of Indiana on June 6, 2007 and combined with Suncrest Global Energy Corp. (“Suncrest”), a Nevada corporation, on December 20, 2007 in a share exchange transaction accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Beacon.

     The Company is a unified, single source information technology and telecommunications enterprise that provides professional services and sales of information technology and telecommunications products to commercial enterprises, state and local government agencies, and educational institutions.

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the three and nine month periods then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2009, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 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 periods presented. The results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2009 or for any future interim period. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Beacon’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Beacon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on January 13, 2009.

Principles of Consolidation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly Suncrest) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries the original Beacon formed in Indiana in June 2007 and BH Acquisition Corp. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

     The Company applies the revenue recognition principles set forth under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 with respect to all of its revenue. Accordingly, the Company

7


recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is probable.

      Business Telephone System and Computer Hardware Product Revenues - The Company requires its hardware product sales to be supported by a written contract or other evidence of a sale transaction that clearly indicates the selling price to the customer, shipping terms, payment terms (generally 30 days) and refund policy, if any. Since the Company’s hardware sales are supported by a contract or other document that clearly indicates the terms of the transaction, and the selling price is fixed at the time the sale is consummated, the Company records revenue on these sales at the time at which it receives a confirmation that the goods were tendered at their destination when shipped “FOB destination,” or upon confirmation that shipment has occurred when shipped “FOB shipping point.”

     For product sales, the Company applies the factors discussed in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issue 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent,” (“99-19”), in determining whether to recognize product revenue on a gross or net basis. In a substantial majority of these transactions, the Company acts as principal because the Company: (i) has latitude in establishing selling prices; (ii) takes title to the products; and (iii) has the risks and rewards of ownership, including the risk of loss for collection, delivery or returns. For these transactions, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amounts billed to customers.

      Professional Services Revenue - The Company generally bills its customers for professional telecommunications and data consulting services based on hours of time spent on any given assignment at its hourly billing rates. As it relates to delivery of these services, the Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements as the work is completed and the customer has indicated their acceptance of services by approving a work order milestone or completion order. For certain engagements, the Company enters into fixed bid contracts, and recognizes revenue as phases of the project are completed and accepted by the client. We generated approximately $909,000 and $1,042,000 of professional services revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We generated approximately $2,644,000 and $2,075,000 of professional services revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

      Time and Materials Contracts – Time and materials contracts, which generally include product sales and installation services, are billed when services are completed based on fixed labor rates plus materials or based on the terms and conditions of the contract. A substantial majority of the Company’s services in this category are completed in short periods of time. The Company may, on occasion, enter into long-term contracts in which it would be appropriate to recognize revenue using long-term contract accounting such as the percentage of completion method. We generated revenue of approximately $2,101,000 and $1,314,000 from short-term time and materials contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We generated revenue of approximately $4,378,000 and $1,964,000 from short-term time and materials contracts for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

      Maintenance Contracts – The Company, as a representative of various original equipment manufacturers, sells extended maintenance contracts on equipment it sells and also acts as an authorized servicing agent with respect to these contracts. These contracts, which are sold as separate agreements from other products and services, are individually negotiated and are generally not bundled with other products and services. For maintenance contract sales, the Company applies the factors discussed in EITF 99-19 in determining whether to recognize product revenue on a gross or net basis. Maintenance contracts are typically manufacturer maintenance contracts that are sold to the customer on a reseller basis. Based on an analysis of the factors set forth in EITF 99-19, the Company has determined that it acts as an agent in these situations, and therefore recognizes revenue on a net basis. The Company’s share of revenue that it earns from originating these contracts is deferred and recognized over the life of the contract. Material and labor is charged for any service calls under these maintenance contracts on a time and materials basis which is charged to either the customer or manufacturer. We recognized approximately $29,000 and $9,000 of net maintenance revenue during both the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recognized approximately $95,000 and $35,000 of net maintenance revenue during both the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, revenue of approximately $0 and $166,000 was recorded related to certain contracts for which the customer requested the Company bill and hold materials to secure the price of the materials from further price increases related to inflation in commodities underlying the materials.

      Sales Tax - 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.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of the 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially 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. As of June 30, 2009, our reserve for bad debt was approximately $130,000 and our reserve for obsolete inventory was approximately $97,000. As of June 30, 2009, management believes the reserve balances are sufficient. These reserves are included in accounts receivable, net and Inventory, net in the accompanying June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

     Beacon accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

     Our amortizable intangible assets include customer relationships and covenants not to compete. These costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 15 and 2 years, respectively. In accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we review the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

     Management considered the Company’s loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as part of an evaluation of the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 and has determined that no impairment charges are necessary at this time.

Share-Based Payments

     We account for stock-based compensation using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires measurement of compensation cost for all share based payment awards based on their fair values on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures and restatement of prior periods is not required. The fair value of restricted stock is determined based on the number of shares granted and the fair value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant.

Net Loss Per Share

     Net loss per share is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share.” (“SFAS 128”) Under SFAS 128, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss 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 reflects 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 months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

     Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of potentially dilutive securities at June 30, 2009 are as follows:

          Total
  Stock      Common    Common
  Options and   Stock   Stock
    Warrants     Equivalents     Equivalents
 
 
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 2,666,666   5,527,484   8,194,150
Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock 533,333   1,180,620   1,713,953

  15,534,315   9,416,436   24,881,025
 
 
 

     Subsequent to June 30, 2009, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 163,708 shares of our common stock referred to as Common Stock Offering Warrants, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 35,050 shares of our common stock referred to as Placement Agent Warrants, warrants to purchase 66,666 shares of our common stock as compensation for an Equity Financing Arrangement and issued options to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock. Additionally 25,000 warrants were issued in conjunction with the August 2009 Bridge Note.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a market based framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). The guidance in SFAS 159 “allows” reporting entities to “choose” to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective underlying the development of this literature is to improve financial reporting by providing reporting entities with the opportunity to reduce volatility in reported earnings that results from measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions, using the guidance in SFAS 133, as amended. The provisions of SFAS 159 are applicable to all reporting entities and are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins subsequent to November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2007, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits on Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 addresses share-based payment arrangements with dividend protection features that entitle employees to receive (a) dividends on equity-classified nonvested shares, (b) dividend equivalents on equity-classified nonvested share units, or (c) payments equal to the dividends paid on the underlying shares while an equity-classified share option is outstanding, when those dividends or dividend equivalents are charged to retained earnings under SFAS 123R and result in an income tax deduction for the employer. A realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings are paid to employees for equity-classified nonvested shares, nonvested equity share units, and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as an increase in additional paid in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid-in capital for the realized income tax benefit from dividends on those awards should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements prospectively. SFAS 160 will have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non wholly-owned businesses after the effective date of this pronouncement

     In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

11


     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The effective date for SFAS No. 162 is November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of and accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This FASB was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has complied with the requirements of FASB 165.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Requiring Adoption in Future Periods

     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will have an impact on the accounting for any businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any noncontrolling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to the stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied

     In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 provides guidance on a plan sponsor’s disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. Required disclosures include information about categories of plan assets, fair value measurements of plan assets, and significant concentrations of risk, as well as investment policies and strategies. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. Except for additional disclosures, we do not expect the adoption of FSP132(R)-1 to have an impact on our financial statements

     In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (FSP 115-2 and 124-2). FSP 115-2 and 124-2 amends the guidance on other-than-temporary impairment for debt securities and modifies the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact of FSP 115-2 and 124-2 on our financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 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 additional guidance for estimating fair value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, when there is an inactive market

12


or the market is not orderly. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact of FSP 157-4 on our financial statements.

     In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1 and 28-1). This FSP requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments in interim periods, as well as annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 and 28-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. We are evaluating the impact of this FSP on our financial statements.

     In February 2008, SFAS 157 was amended by FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157: Fair Value Measurements” (“FSP 157-2”). As such, SFAS 157 (as amended) is partially effective for measurements and disclosures of financial assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is fully effective for measurement and disclosure provisions on all applicable assets and liabilities for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 157-2 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. This issue addresses the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which is the first part of the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Statement 133. This issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of EITF 07-5 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 to improve the reporting for the transfer of financial assets resulting from 1) practices that have developed since the issuance of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that Statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company will review the requirements of FASB No. 166 and comply with its requirements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company will review the requirements of FASB No. 167 and comply with its requirements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. Under the Statement, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. In the FASB’s view, the issuance of this Statement and the Codification will not change GAAP, except for those nonpublic nongovernmental entities that must now apply the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Inquiry Service Section 5100, “Revenue Recognition,” paragraphs 38–76. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

     We incurred a net loss of approximately ($4,050,000) and used approximately ($3,400,000) of cash in our operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit amounted to approximately ($13,819,000). We had cash of $548,205 and a working capital deficit of approximately $767,000 at June 30, 2009.

     We experienced certain conditions that compressed our gross profit margins during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 principally related to competition and price pressure due to external market conditions and our efforts to expand the business.

     As widely reported, the financial markets have been experiencing significant disruption in recent months, including, among other things, volatility in securities prices, diminished liquidity and credit availability and declining valuations. Among other risks we face, the current tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future, including, if necessary, to fund strategic acquisitions, and/or refinance our debt as it comes due.

     Our financing transactions to date include:

     On July 25, 2008, we engaged a registered broker-dealer (the “ Placement Agent ”) in a private placement ( $.80 per unit) (the “July Common Offering”) of up to 3,750,000 units (the “ Common Units ”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised 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 ”). During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 we sold 367,099 units for net proceeds of $239,290 (gross proceeds of $293,679 less offering costs of $54,389).

     On October 29, November 17 and November 19, 2008, Beacon and Midian Properties, LLC, entered into short term credit facilities in the amounts of $100,000, $120,000 and $70,000 that the Company repaid as of March 31, 2009. On March 27, 2009, Beacon and Midian, entered into a short term credit facility in the amount of $53,000, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 1% origination fee. The credit facility has been fully repaid.

     On November 12, 2008, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $3.0 million of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $450,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. At May 27, 2009 we closed the private placement at $3.4 million in gross proceeds.

     On January 7, 2009, we entered into a note payable with a principal amount of $200,000 payable on or before December 31, 2009, bearing interest at 12% per annum with one of our directors. The director concurrently authorized us to issue 300 shares of preferred stock in exchange for this note and an additional $100,000 note issued prior to December 31, 2008. We completed our administrative issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock on February 16, 2009, at which time we and the director agreed that we shall be permitted, but not required, to redeem these shares at a 1% per month premium beginning 30 days from the date of their issuance at our discretion.

     On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one-time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise additional equity capital in private offerings, described above, and terminating upon completion of equity financing of $2.2 million, upon mutual agreement or on January 1, 2010. On May 13, 2009, the director agreed to increase the equity financing arrangement to $1.8 million available in exchange for a continuation of the ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month which is all available on August 11, 2009. Subsequently on August 10, 2009 an agreement was made to increase to $3.0 million.

     On January 22, 2009, Beacon entered into $500,000 of convertible notes payable with a group of private investors (the “Notes”) facilitated by a broker/dealer. On July 15, 2009 $53,000 was repaid to a holder of the convertible notes payable upon their request.

     On March 31, 2009, we executed an extension of our demand note with First Savings Bank, the terms of which are substantially the same as the original agreement, with payments due May 15 and June 15, 2009 in the amount of $50,000 each plus accrued interest. On July 24, 2009 an addition extension was executed through August 31, 2009.

     On June 5, 2009, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $600,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $400,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. As of June 30, 2009 we sold 1,316,201 units for net proceeds of $891,200 (gross proceeds of $1,054,419 less offering costs of $163,219).

     On July 9, 2009 we opted to increase the offering to $2.5 million. On July 17, 2009 we issued an additional 327,416 units under the offering for net proceeds of $235,740 (gross proceeds of $261,933 less offering costs of $26,193).

     We believe that our currently available cash, the proceeds of our equity financing activities, the equity financing arrangement, further debt financing and refinancing, and funds we expect to generate from operations will enable us to effectively operate our business and pay our debt obligations as they become due through April 1, 2010. However, we will require additional capital in order to execute our business plan. If we are unable to raise additional capital, 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. We have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time, 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 29, 2008, Beacon and First Savings Bank refinanced a short term line of credit that had matured and was converted into a demand note in the amount of $100,000. The Note was originally due in two payments of $50,000 each on January 15, 2009 and February 15, 2009 and bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. On March 31, 2009, we executed an extension of this note due in two payments of $50,000 each on May 15, 2009 and June 15, 2009. On July 24, 2009 the remaining $50,000 balance of this note was extended until August 31, 2009.

     Interest expense on short term debt and lines of credit amounted to approximately $1,700 and $0 of which we paid approximately $2,000 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense on short term debt and lines of credit amounted to approximately $17,500 and $0 of which we paid approximately $6,000 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

     On October 29, November 17 and November 19, 2008, Beacon and Midian Properties, LLC, entered into short term credit facilities in the amounts of $100,000, $120,000 and $70,000, respectively, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 0.5% origination fee. These amounts were paid back in full. On March 27, 2009, Beacon and Midian, entered into a short term credit facility in the amount of $53,000, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 1% origination fee. This credit facility has been fully repaid.

18


Term Debt

     During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Beacon paid approximately $398,000 and $495,000 in principal payments on our term debt. We recorded interest expense of approximately $85,000 and $7,600 for our term loans and paid approximately $19,000 and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Bridge Notes

     During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the Bridge note holders agreed not to demand repayment of these Bridges Notes prior to June 30, 2010. The aggregate principal balance of these notes amounts to $700,000 as of June 30, 2009. Accordingly, the Bridge Notes are presented as current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2009.

     We recorded contractual interest expense of approximately $5,700 and $6,240 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recorded contractual interest expense of approximately $18,400 and 21,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Further, we recorded aggregate accretion of the discount on these Bridge Notes which relates to warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes of approximately $23,930 and $15,999 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We recorded aggregate accretion of the discount on these notes which relates to warrants and the beneficial conversion feature of the notes of approximately $71,790 and $24,533 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The unamortized discount relating to the beneficial conversion feature amounts to $57,051 as of June 30, 2009.

     The Bridge Notes contained a provision to earn additional warrants to purchase Beacon common stock during the term the note holder refrained from demanding repayment until the maturity of the notes. As the note holders have agreed unconditionally not to demand payment of the notes before June 30, 2010 and that date is after the original maturity of the Bridge Notes, these warrants are deemed to have been fully earned as of June 30, 2009. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 we recorded non-cash interest expense of $56,840 for warrants earned in connection with the Bridge Notes as follows:

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 $500,000 in the aggregate of which the broker/dealer received a cash commission of $50,000 and a non-accountable expense reimbursement of $25,000. The proceeds were used to repay certain other short term credit obligations and for working capital purposes. The Notes have a maturity date of July 21, 2009 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 12.5% due monthly. The Notes have been extended by Beacon to January 21, 2010 and as such bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15% from the original maturity date to the extended maturity date due monthly along with principal payments of 16.67% of the principal due monthly from the original maturity date through the extended maturity date until paid in full. The Notes can be prepaid at any time on or after March 21, 2009 in whole or in part upon 30 days prior written notice to the holders without penalty. The holder may convert the Notes into shares of Beacon Common Stock, par value $0.001, at the rate of $0.75 per share in minimum increments of $5,000. Each of note holders also received a five-year warrant to purchase one share of Beacon Common Stock (the “Note Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share per $10 of note principal (50,000 shares in the aggregate). The Notes contain certain provisions in the event of default that could result in acceleration of payment of the entire balance including accrued and unpaid interest. Acceleration of the Note in the event of default would also result in the interest rate increasing by 0.4166% per event. On July 15, 2009 $53,000 of the outstanding Convertible Notes was repaid.

19


     The fair value of the Note Warrants which amounted to approximately $20,500, was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions relating to the estimated fair value of the Note Warrants are as follows: fair value of common stock of $.80 on the commitment date of January 22, 2009; risk-free interest rate of 1.61%; expected dividend yield of zero percent; expected life of 1,825 days through January 30, 2014; and current volatility of 66.34%. Accordingly, we recorded aggregate discounts of $74,334 to the face value of the Notes which includes the relative fair value of the warrants in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” (“APB 14”) and the effects of a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price is $.72 per share calculated in accordance with the guidelines of EITF 00-27. The discount is being accreted over the estimated life of the Notes of 6 months from the date of issuance on January 22, 2009. Accretion amounted to $65,710 through June 30, 2009 and is included as a component of interest expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

     We evaluated the conversion options embedded in the Notes to determine (in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19) whether they should be bifurcated from their host instruments and accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments. We determined that the debt is conventional debt as that term is defined in EITF 05-2. Accordingly the conversion feature is being accounted for as an embedded conversion option in accordance with EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27.

NOTE 5 – 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, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $22,500 and $6,000 respectively, and $88,000 and $44,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is partly deferred and partly included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

     On May 15, 2008, subsequently amended on August 19, 2008, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $3,000,000 of additional funding, terms of which provided for issuance of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share per month for the period the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five-year term. The equity financing arrangement expired on December 31, 2008. Accordingly, we recognized $82,166 of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 based on the fair value of the warrants as they were earned. The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

     On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided a commitment up to $2.2 million of additional funding. This arrangement superseded the existing equity financing arrangement between the same director and the Company that had been entered into on May 15, 2008 and amended August 19, 2008. Under the terms of this equity financing arrangement, under certain circumstances the Company may sell shares of its common stock to this director at the same price per share and other terms as the most recent sale of shares of its Common Stock to a third party in a transaction intended to raise capital. On May 13, 2009, the director agreed to increase the equity financing arrangement to $1.8 million available in exchange for a continuation of the ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month during the term of the agreement. The financing available under this agreement will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis by the amount of the proceeds of the ongoing private placements of the Company’s securities or any additional placements of equity financing.

     This arrangement will terminate upon the earliest of: April 1, 2010; the date on which an aggregate of $1.8 million of proceeds from the ongoing private placements of the Company’s securities has been raised; acceleration of indebtedness of, or a judgment against, the Company in an amount greater than $25,000; the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; or the mutual consent of the Company and the director.

     In addition, in the event that the equity financing arrangement is drawn upon by the Company, then the director will have the right to purchase shares of common stock from two of the founding stockholders at a purchase price of $0.001 per share.

     We recognized $64,969 and $127,303 of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 based on the fair value of the warrants as they were earned. The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Placement Agent Warrants

     Pursuant to a consulting agreement with a placement agent, we committed to issue warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.50 per share. As the business of the placement agent is in transition, we are uncertain as to the distribution of these warrants to the parties involved. Accordingly, we have not issued these warrants as of June 30, 2009 and are uncertain as to whether any services will be provided to us under this agreement or the timing of the issuance of any warrants at this time.

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 and fund managers. In exchange for providing such services, the firm will receive $10,000 per month for the duration of the agreement, 10,000 shares of our restricted common stock per month for the first six months and 15,000 shares of our restricted common stock per month for the remaining six months for an aggregate of 150,000 shares of restricted stock. Through June 30, 2009 we paid $50,000 and issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock, with aggregate fair value of $43,800, under the terms of this agreement. The common stock issued under this agreement was recorded as professional fees expense using the measurement principles enumerated under EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”). The contract has a 12 month term and can be terminated upon 30 days notice.

     On June 5, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized us to issue an additional 150,000 shares of common stock to the same investor relations firm subject to the attainment of certain performance conditions, to be performed within a six month time period ending November 5, 2009. On June 30, 2009, 10,000 shares with an aggregate fair value of $13,700 were deemed to have been earned as of the date of issuance. The common stock issued was recorded as professional fees expense using the measurement principles enumerated under EITF 96-18.

On March 13, 2009, we engaged an investor relations firm to further 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 and fund managers. In exchange for providing such services, the firm will receive $10,000 per month for the duration of the agreement. Concurrent with executing the agreement, we paid $10,000 and issued 200,000 shares of fully vested and non-forfeitable restricted common stock with a fair value of $80,000 on date of grant recorded as professional fees expense using the measurement principles enumerated under EITF 96-18. The term of the agreement is 12 months, terminable upon 30 days notice after 6 months.

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 Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at any time, at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $.75 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, dilutive issuances and other anti-dilution provisions, including circumstances in which we, at our discretion, issue equity securities or convertible instruments that feature prices lower than the conversion price specified in the Series A and A-1 preferred shares, subsequently adjusted to $.80 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time, at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $.90 per share. The Series A, A-1 and B are also automatically convertible into shares of our common stock, at the then applicable conversion price upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock yielding aggregate proceeds of not less than $20 million or under certain other circumstances when the trading volume and average trading prices of the stock attain certain specified levels. 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.

Cumulative contractual dividends with respect to all preferred shares amounted to $521,117, $88,999, and $21,354 as of June 30, 2009 for the Series A, A-1, and B preferred, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 dividends of $489,413 and $85,465 were paid in additional preferred shares for the Series A and A-1 respectively. The net result consists of accrued but unpaid dividends in the amounts of $31,704, $3,534 and $21,354 for the Series A, A-1, and B preferred. Contractual dividends recorded as an increase to the net loss available to the common stockholders amounted to $160,264 and $411,416 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

     The Series A, A-1 and B Preferred Stock designation contains certain restrictive covenants including restrictions against: the declaration of dividend distributions to common stockholders; certain mergers, consolidations and business combinations; the issuance of preferred shares with rights or provisions senior to each of the Series A, A-1, and B Preferred Stock; and restrictions against incurring or assuming unsecured liabilities or indebtedness unless certain minimum performance objectives are satisfied. The Series A Preferred Stock is senior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and the Series A and A-1 are senior to the Series B Preferred Stock.

23


     The Series A, A-1 and B Preferred Share also feature a right of redemption in the event of liquidation or change in control. The redemption feature provides for payment of 125% of the face value and 125% of any accrued unpaid dividends in the event of bankruptcy, change of control, or any actions to take the Company private. The amount of the liquidation preference was amounted to $5,221,646, $1,111,248, and $902,068 for the Series A, A-1, and B preferred shares, respectively, as of June 30, 2009.

     The Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may designate additional series of Preferred Stock (“blank check preferred stock”) and to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon such blank check preferred stock, and the number of shares constituting any such series of such blank check preferred stock. The rights, privileges and preferences of any such blank check preferred stock shall be subordinate to the rights, privileges and preferences to the existing Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was issued as “blank check preferred stock” and as such is subordinate to the rights, privileges and preferences of the Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

     The Board of Directors may also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series (other than the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series A-1 Preferred Stock), prior or subsequent to the issue of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.

     As described in Note 1, the Company applies the classification and measurement principles enumerated in EITF Topic D-98 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. The board of directors is then required to submit proposals to enter into these types of transactions to its stockholders for their approval by majority vote. The preferred stockholders do not currently (i) control or have representation on the Company’s Board of Directors and/or (ii) have sufficient voting rights to control a redemption of these shares by either of these events. In addition the effectuation of any transaction or series of transactions resulting in a more than 50% change in control can be made only by the Company in its sole discretion. Based on these provisions, we classified the Series A, A-1, and B preferred shares as permanent equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet because the liquidation events are deemed to be within the Company’s sole control in accordance with the provisions of EITF Topic D-98. We evaluate our convertible preferred stock at each reporting date for appropriate balance sheet classification.

     On May 8, 2009 the Series B Preferred Shareholder relinquished his right to full ratchet dilution in exchange for a reduction of the contractual conversion price from $.90 to $.80 per common share. This conversion price adjustment resulted in a beneficial conversion feature deemed dividend in the amount of $87,500, which was recognized in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009.

     Additionally, the Company agreed to adjust the exercise price of the Series B warrants from $1.20 to $1.00 per share, for which the company recorded an additional deemed dividend in the amount of $11,865 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

24


Preferred Stock Dividend

     On October 7, 2008, January 9, 2009 and April 9, 2009, the Company elected to pay the contractual dividends due the Series A, A-1, and B preferred stock holders in additional shares of preferred stock. The Company follows the guidelines of EITF 00-27 when accounting for pay-in-kind dividends that are settled in convertible securities with conversion features. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded deemed dividends of $0 and $87,774, respectively for the beneficial conversion features and dividends paid in kind. The deemed dividends represent the difference between the conversion price of the conversion option of $0.75 per share and the fair value of the common stock of $1.24 per share on the date of election which is considered the commitment date. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 no deemed dividends were recorded because the conversion price of $0.75 per share was equal to or greater than the fair value of the commons stock on the date of election. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009 the following shares were issued in settlement of the accrued dividends: 489 Series A and 85.465 Series A-1 shares.

Preferred Stock Conversion to Common Stock

     On January 29, 2009, holders of our Preferred Stock elected to convert 343.8 shares of Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock into 458,397 shares of our common stock.

Offerings of Common Stock

     On July 25, 2008, we engaged a registered broker-dealer (the “ Placement Agent ”) in a private placement( $.80 per unit) (the “July Common Offering”) of up to 3,750,000 units (the “ Common Units ”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised 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 ”).

     On November 12, 2008, we engaged the Placement Agent in a private placement (the “November Common Offering”) of up to 3,750,000 Common Units for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000, with each Common Unit comprised of (i) one share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase one-half share of $ .80 per unit Common Stock (each, an “ Common Offering Warrant ”). For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 an anti-dilution provision of the stock offering of resulted in a requirement to issue an additional 148,929 and 285,139 shares of common stock at par value $0.001 or $285.14.

     On June 10, 2009 Beacon issued a Private Placement Memorandum of up to $600,000 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, an “ Common Offering Warrant ”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per share (collectively the “ Common Offering ”).

     The Common Offering Warrants 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. All of the warrants issued in the June 2008, November 2008 and June 2009 private placements feature standard anti dilution provisions for stock splits, stock dividends and similar types of recapitalization events. These warrants also feature weighted average price protection for subsequent issuances of equity securities at prices more favorable than the exercise price stipulated in these warrants. In addition, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement for the resale of any all shares issued and shares underlying common stock purchase warrants issued in these private placements. 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.

     During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we sold an aggregate of 5,960,350 Common Units, under all of these offerings, to accredited investors for net proceeds of $3,772,955 (gross proceeds of $4,769,738 less offering costs of $996,783). Offering costs included fees paid to the placement agent of $769,745, a fee for the successful completion of the placement of $135,548 paid to a consultant and $91,490 legal and related fees in addition to warrants to purchase 2,975,466 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share with a 5 year term. We used the proceeds of the Common Offering to provide working capital.

25


Exchange of Notes for Series B Preferred Stock

     On January 7, 2009, we entered into a note payable with a principal amount of $200,000 payable on or before December 31, 2009, bearing interest at 12% per annum with one of our directors. The director concurrently authorized us to issue 300 shares of preferred stock in exchange for this note and an additional $100,000 note issued prior to December 31, 2008. We completed our administrative issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock on February 16, 2009, at which time we and the director agreed that we shall be permitted, but not required to redeem these shares at a 1% per month premium beginning 30 days from the date of their issuance at our discretion.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

     As of September 30, 2008, we had incurred net operating losses since inception totaling $3,504,977 which expire in 2023 through 2028. After considering all available evidence, we fully reserved for our deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that the benefits of such deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. The acquired net operating losses are subject to internal revenue code section 382 and similar state income tax regulations, which could result in limitations on the amount of such losses that could be recognized during any taxable year.

     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which we adopted effective June 6, 2007 (date of inception). FIN 48 requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest, and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 we had no material uncertain tax positions. Significant tax jurisdictions that we file income tax returns in include the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the state of Ohio. We record penalties and interest if it is more likely than not of being sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. We record penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest as interest expense.

NOTE 9 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Stock Options and Other Equity Compensation Plans

     In March 2008, our Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, subject to shareholder approval, referred to as the 2008 Incentive Plan. The 2008 Incentive Plan was approved by the shareholders on April 16, 2009. We reserved 1,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2008 Incentive Plan and for other compensatory equity grants for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights and performance awards, pursuant to which certain options will be granted. The terms and conditions of such awards are determined at the sole discretion of our board of directors or a committee designated by the Board to administer the plan. Previously unissued shares of our common stock are provided to a participant upon a participant’s exercise of vested options. Of the 1,000,000 shares authorized, 950,000 are available for future grants as of June 30, 2009.

26


     On October 7, 2008, January 9, 2009, May 8, 2009 and June 5, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized Beacon to grant employee stock options to purchase 25,000 and 285,000 and 2,500,000 and 50,000 shares of common stock, respectively, of which the 50,000 issued on June 5, 2009 were issued under the provisions of our Long Term Incentive Plan.

     In accordance with SFAS 123(R), we recognized non-cash share-based compensation expenses as follows:

     We determine the fair value of our 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 Company’s common stock. The expected life of options granted are based on historical data, which, as of June 30, 2009 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.

     The fair values of options granted and outstanding were estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

     The closing price of the Company’s common stock was $1.65 per share on June 30, 2009. The Company has 108,967 fully vested stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $.90 per share and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $92,000 as of June 30, 2009. The weighted average exercise of options granted during the nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $1.15 per share in each reporting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding amounts to approximately $1,400,000 as of June 30, 2009.

     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, 2009, there was approximately $2,187,905 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 2.3 years. Options to purchase an aggregate of 115,300 shares of common stock were vested at June 30, 2009. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, no shares were forfeited and no options were exercised.

27


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 $666,873 to our 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. We recognized $45,101 and $44,610 of share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in connection with this grant. We recognized $134,320 and $221,593 of share-based compensation expense during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, in connection with this grant. Unamortized compensation under this arrangement amounted to $266,192 as of June 30, 2009 and will be amortized over the remaining vesting period through December 20, 2010. The shares vest immediately upon our termination without cause or the Executive’s resignation if in response to certain defined actions taken by us adverse to Executive’s employment which constitute good reason as defined in the Executive’s employment agreement. In the event of termination for cause, or resignation without good reason, we have the right to repurchase any unvested shares for nominal consideration.

Beacon Solutions 401(k) Plan

     During the three months ended December 31, 2007, we established a retirement benefits plan, referred to as the Beacon Solutions 401(k) Plan, intended to meet the requirements of section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under the Beacon Solutions 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to the maximum allowable under federal law, and we will match up to 100% of the first 1% contributed by the employee and up to 50% of the next 5% contributed by the employee, in cash subject to a vesting schedule based on years of service. As of November 30, 2008, we adopted a profit sharing match and terminated the automatic matching contribution. Our board of directors or the compensation committee will determine the match based on previously defined operating targets. All employees are eligible to enroll on date of hire. Employees are automatically enrolled at 3% employer contribution but can change their election at any time.

     Total contributions under the Beacon Solutions 401(k) Plan, recorded as salaries and benefits expense, totaled approximately $0 and $36,900 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. Total contributions under the Beacon Solutions 401(k) Plan, recorded as salaries and benefits expense, totaled $36,883 and $77,918 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 29, 2009, Beacon, through its wholly owned subsidiary BESG Ireland Ltd., acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of SymbioTec Solution AG, a professional services company located in Switzerland, in exchange for 400,000 shares of Beacon Common Stock with a fair value of $1.19 per share or $476,000 in the aggregate based on the July 29, 2009 closing price. In addition to the consideration provided at closing, the sellers, who will continue to manage the business on a day to day basis, have the opportunity to earn up to an additional 400,000 shares of Beacon Common Stock if the continuing operations achieve certain performance targets measured in pre-tax income during the two years following the anniversary of the transaction. SymbioTec Solution AG has performed services for several of our large customers providing instant synergies. The acquisition provides Beacon with a base of operations for our customers located throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa, commonly referred to as EMEA.

     On July 24, 2009, an additional extension was executed through August 15, 2009 to pay the remaining balance on a short term line of credit with First Savings Bank that had matured and was converted into a demand note in the amount of $100,000. The Note was originally due in two payments of $50,000 each on January 15, 2009 and February 15, 2009 and bears interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. On March 31, 2009, we executed an extension of this note due in two payments of $50,000 each on May 15, 2009 and June 15, 2009. On July 24, 2009 the remaining $50,000 balance of this note was extended until August 31, 2009.

Overview

     We were 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 “MBE Market”). Our business strategy is to acquire companies that will allow us to serve the MBE Market on an integrated, turnkey basis from system design, procurement and installation through all aspects of providing network service and designing and hosting network applications.

     Beacon was a development stage enterprise with no operating history until the completion of the share exchange transaction in which the shareholders of Beacon become the majority owners of Suncrest (“Share Exchange Transaction”) completed on December 20, 2007. Concurrent with the Share Exchange Transaction, we also completed the acquisition of four complementary information technology and telecommunications businesses (the “Phase I Acquisitions”) described below.

Acquisition Growth Strategy

     Phase I Acquisitions have been integrated into a single organization with a cohesive internal infrastructure to scale the business. Consistent with our operating plan, upon our successful integration of these operations and the development of organic growth described below, we expect to pursue our phase II acquisition strategy, financed by additional debt or equity financings, by exploring acquisition targets to build around our three state operating hub to grow Beacon into a national and international information technology and telecommunications provider.

Infrastructure Management Services

     Our Infrastructure Management Services are becoming an emerging revenue generator for our business. Infrastructure management services is the management of a customer’s physical layer or Layer 1 in the Open Systems Interconnection (“OSI”), and are defined by the combination and integration of our infrastructure design, installation, telecommunications, and information technology management services. By combining the integrated disciplines into one service, we are able to maintain, manage and document the complete low voltage infrastructure of our customer’s, a value added service that we believe reduces their cost of these services by up to 30% or more.

32


     One of the offerings under this program is our Innovative, Intelligent, Installation, Moves, Adds, and Changes, or I3MAC Services, which is an internally developed system that supports our network infrastructure management service offering including: Physical layer assessment; Network design and engineering; Bid specification; Materials, labor and logistics; Documentation, implementation and ongoing management of the physical network including all moves, adds, and changes. Today companies are asked to achieve more with fewer resources than ever before.

     We have signed a contract to provide our I3MAC Services to one of the world’s premier pharmaceutical and consumer health products companies, headquartered in New Jersey, and operating over 250 businesses. Under the terms of the contract, we provide, as requested, all moves, adds and changes for low voltage infrastructure, including cabling, at the manufacturer’s companies across North America, Canada and Puerto Rico.

     As we ramp up our operations to provide services to this client, we hope to establish a national presence to leverage with other national customers who may be able to take advantage of the savings we expect to provide with this value added service. In addition, we are exploring strategic partnerships with other OSI Layer 1 service providers to expand our operations internationally.

Results of Operations

     For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

     Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, was approximately $3,039,000 and $2,365,000 respectively, consisting of approximately $2,100,600 and $1,314,000 of business telephone system installations and time and materials services for system maintenance, $29,000 and $9,000 of maintenance contracts related to the installations and $909,000 and $1,042,000 of engineering and design and customer specific application design services.

     Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $2,118,000, and $1,445,000, respectively and consisted of approximately $1,117,000 and $846,000 of equipment and materials used in business telephone systems installations and parts used in services, $517,000 and $363,000 of direct labor, $99,000 and $1,700 of direct project related costs, and $385,000 and $227,000 of subcontractor fees incurred in providing all of our services. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Cost of goods amounted to approximately $4,826,000, and $2,319,000, respectively and consisted of approximately $2,548,000 and $1,147,000 of equipment and materials used in business telephone systems installations and parts used in services, $1,432,000 and $808,000 of direct labor, $279,000 and $123,000 of direct project related costs, and $568,000 and $241,000 of subcontractor fees incurred in providing all of our services

     For the three months ended June 30, 2009 we experienced an increase in sales of $674,000. This growth was across all service lines however, our gross profit margin contracted by of 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus 2008 principally due to increases in material costs of $360,000 and the use of subcontractor resulting in additional costs of $158,000.

33


     We believe that the conditions compressing our gross profit margins during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were a result of the rapid sales ramp up and expansion. Going forward we expect gross profit margins to stabilize as service mix becomes fully developed and entrenched.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net cash used in operating activities of approximately $3,399,000 and $1,844,000 consisted primarily of a net loss of approximately ($4,050,000) and ($3,160,000) and was impacted by an increase in accounts receivables of approximately $1,033,000 and $759,000 and an increase decrease in other current assets of $4,000 and ($110,000) and customer deposits of $56,000 and $193,000 for 2009 and 2008 respectively. These amounts were offset by increases in cash due to an increase in account payable and accrued expenses of $745,000 and $1,160,000. Finally, cash used in operations was impacted by non-cash depreciation and amortization of $455,000 and $386,000, non-cash interest of $429,000 and $171,000, share based payments of approximately $456,000 and $447,000 and other non-cash activities of $178,000 and $70,000.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, cash used in investing activities of approximately $119,000 and $2,256,000 consisted of purchases of fixed assets of $119,000 and $69,000 and acquisition of a business of $0 and $2,187,000.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3,938,000 and $4,165,000 was derived primarily from approximately $3,773,000 and $0 of net proceeds from the sale of common stock (gross proceeds of approximately $4,770,000 and $0 less placement costs of approximately $997,000 and $0) raised in our common stock offerings, proceeds of $300,000 and $3,876,000 from conversion of preferred shares to common, net proceeds of $150,000 and $200,000 of lines of credit and $0 and $422,000 from proceeds of issuance of bridge notes, repayments of debt of approximately ($334,000) and $(675,000) and payments of capital lease obligations of ($12,000) and ($8,000), additional proceeds from issuance of convertible notes of $500,000 and $0 with payment of referral finance costs of $(75,000) and $0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

     On October 29, November 17 and November 19, 2008, Beacon and Midian Properties, LLC, entered into short term credit facilities in the amounts of $100,000, $120,000 and $70,000, respectively, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 0.5% origination fee. Should the holder declare the notes in default, the notes shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date of default until paid in full. The notes were not declared in default at any time and the principal has been paid back from time to time from November 20, 2008 through January 28, 2009 when the amounts were paid back in full. On March 27, 2009, Beacon and Midian, entered into a short term credit facility in the amount of $53,000, the principal of which was due and payable to the holder within seven (7) days of issuance along with a 1% origination fee. Should the holder declare the notes in default, the notes shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the date of default until paid in full. On November 12, 2008, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $3.0 million of equity financing. At May 27, 2009 we closed the private placement at $3.4 million in gross proceeds.

On June 5, 2009, Beacon engaged a registered broker-dealer in a private placement of Common Stock and Warrants to raise $600,000 of equity financing with an option to raise an additional $400,000 if the offering is oversubscribed. As of August 11, 2009 we have received approximately $1.0 million in gross proceeds. On July 9, 2009 we opted to increase the offering to $2.5 million.

35


     On January 7, 2009, we entered into a note payable with a principal amount of $200,000 payable on or before December 31, 2009, bearing interest at 12% per annum with one of our directors. The director concurrently authorized us to issue 300 shares of preferred stock in exchange for this note and an additional $100,000 note issued prior to December 31, 2008. We completed our administrative issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock on February 16, 2009, at which time we and the director agreed that we shall be permitted, but not required to redeem these shares at a 1% per month premium beginning 30 days from the date of their issuance at our discretion.

     On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one-time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise additional equity capital in private offerings, described above, and terminating upon completion of equity financing of $2.2 million, upon mutual agreement or on January 1, 2010. On May 13, 2009, the director agreed to increase the equity financing arrangement to $1.8 million available in exchange for a continuation of the ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month which is all available as of the day of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 $500,000 in the aggregate of which the broker/dealer received a cash commission of $50,000 and a non-accountable expense reimbursement of $25,000. The net proceeds were used to pay off certain short term debts with the balance used as working capital. The Notes have a maturity date of July 21, 2009 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 12.5% due monthly. The Notes can be extended by Beacon to January 21, 2010 and, upon extension, will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 15% from the original maturity date to the extended maturity date due monthly along with principal payments of 16.67% of the principal due monthly from the original maturity date through the extended maturity date until paid in full. The Notes can be prepaid at any time on or after March 21, 2009 in whole or in part upon 30 days prior written notice to the holders without penalty. The holder may convert the Notes into shares of Beacon Common Stock, par value $0.001, at the rate of $0.75 per share in minimum increments of $5,000. The holder received a five-year warrant to purchase one share of Beacon Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share per $10 of Note balance. The Notes contain certain provisions in the event of default that could result in acceleration of payment of the entire balance including accrued and unpaid interest. Acceleration of the Note in the event of default would also result in the interest rate increasing by 0.4166% per event. On August 7, 2009, we entered into a non-interest bearing Bridge Note arrangement with one of our directors in the amount of $500,000 with a payment date of September 6, 2009 and a commitment fee of $25,000 paid on August 10, 2009. The Bridge Note also contained 25,000 warrants immediately exercisable into common shares at $1.00.

     As widely reported, the financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption in recent months, including, among other things, extreme volatility in securities prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. Among other risks we face, the current tightening of credit in financial markets may adversely affect our ability to obtain financing in the future, including, if necessary, to fund our organic growth strategy or a strategic acquisition, and/or ability to refinance our debt as it comes due.

36


     We believe that our currently available cash, the proceeds of our equity financing activities, the equity financing arrangement, further debt financing and refinancing, and funds we expect to generate from operations will enable us to effectively operate our business and pay our debt obligations as they become due within the next twelve months through July 1, 2010. We require additional capital in order to execute our current business plan. If we are unable to raise additional capital, 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. We have not secured any commitments for new financing at this time, 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.

      Contractual Obligations as of June 30, 2009

     The following is a summary of our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009:

                Payment Due by Period

(1)      Interest obligations assume Prime Rate of 3.25% at June 30, 2009. 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 and disclosed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13 “Accounting for Leases,” as may be modified or supplemented. These amounts are not recorded as liabilities of the current balance sheet date.

     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 $545,000 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 $750,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010 and can be curtailed based on actual results of operations.

37


Working Capital

     As of June 30, 2009, our current liabilities exceed current assets by approximately $767,000. Certain vendors have agreed to defer payment or agreed to payment plans. Our working capital deficit has increased by approximately $27,000 and $556,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in our efforts to negotiate favorable terms with our vendors.

Client Base

     Through the Phase I Acquisitions, Beacon acquired a client base that consisted of approximately 4,000 customers, which were predominantly MBEs with 25-2,500 end users each, as well as approximately 50 larger customers. We expect that most of our revenue will be derived from our I 3 MAC Services offering.

Competitors

     Beacon has numerous competitors in each one of its four service areas, many of which are substantially better capitalized, have more employees, have a longer operating history and are better known in the industry. However, management is not aware of any direct competitor in the middle-market service space that can provide all of these services without significant outsourcing or reselling, although IBM Global and others do present these services by relying upon outside consultants. Beacon believes that its integration of these services, particularly of its systems and software design and engineering capabilities, provides a distinct competitive advantage.

     On May 15, 2008, subsequently amended on August 19, 2008, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $3,000,000 of additional funding, the terms of which provided for issuance of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share per month for the period the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five-year term. The equity financing arrangement expired on December 31, 2008. Accordingly, we recognized $82,166 of interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 based on the fair value of the warrants as they were earned. The fair values were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

     On January 9, 2009, we entered into an equity financing arrangement with one of our directors that provided up to $2.2 million of additional funding, the terms of which provide for compensation of a one-time grant of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share and ongoing grants of warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share each month that the financing arrangement is in effect. The warrants have a five year term. The commitment will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis as we raise additional equity capital in private offerings, described above, and terminating upon completion of equity financing of $2.2 million, upon mutual agreement or on January 1, 2010. As of August 11, 2009, approximately $330,000 was available under this financing arrangement.

The Bridge Note also contained 25,000 warrants immediately exercisable into common shares at $1.00.

ITEM 4(T). 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 March 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer, who acts in the capacity of principal executive officer and our Chief Accounting 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, 2009, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

39


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 Accounting 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, 2008, we had identified certain matters that constituted material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. Although we have strengthened and unified our internal controls, we continue to improve our controls and eliminate material weaknesses including inadequate internal accounting information systems and limited qualified accounting staff. Our systems and personnel were insufficient to support the complexity of our financial reporting requirements. Since September 30, 2008, we have taken certain steps to correct these material weaknesses that include undertaking a review of our systems and engaging a consultant to assist in the upgrade of our accounting systems and implementation of additional controls. We have hired an additional accounting resource to assist in completion of our internal control matrix and further strengthen our controls. Although we believe that these steps will result in significant improvements to our internal controls and expect to correct our material weaknesses, additional time is still required to fully document our systems, implement control procedures and test their operating effectiveness.

     Specifically, we have engaged a firm to assist us with migrating from our current unified accounting system to Microsoft Dynamics GP including the modules that assist with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Additionally, we have implemented a control matrix and software to identify our critical internal accounting controls and measure compliance on a month to month basis to ensure our controls are effective. In addition, we have implemented further controls to aid and improve our inventory systems to ensure they are operating effectively and added controls over revenue recognition to ensure appropriate compliance with current accounting standards. Finally, we have hired an additional accounting resource, bringing the number of Certified Public Accountants on our staff to three, to assist in the day to day accounting functions. We believe that our internal controls risks are partially mitigated by the fact that our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting 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 primarily to the fact that we are an emerging business with limited personnel. Our Chief Accounting Officer was our only employee with SEC reporting experience as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     Except as discussed above, 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.

Exhibit 4.1

THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc.

STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Warrant No.
Dated:

     Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [INVESTOR NAME] or his registered assigns (the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [NO. SHARES] shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company (each such share, a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares issuable under the warrants, the “ Warrant Shares ”) at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “ Exercise Price ”), at any time and from the date hereof and through and including the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance hereof (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ Warrants ” and the holders thereof along with the Holder named herein, the “ Holders .”

     1. Definitions . In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

     2. Registration of Warrant . The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

     3. Registration of Transfers . The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new


warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

     4. Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

          (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

          (b) A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice only if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

          (c) Exercise Disputes . In the case of any dispute with respect to the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via fax (or, it the Holder has not provided the Company with a fax number, by overnight courier) within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Holder’s election to purchase Warrant Shares. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree as to the determination of the Purchase Price within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall in accordance with this Section, submit via facsimile the disputed determination to an independent reputable accounting firm of national standing, selected jointly by the Company and the Holder. The Company shall cause such accounting firm to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results as promptly as possible from the time it receives the disputed determinations of calculations. Such accounting firm’s determination shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. The Company shall then on the next Business Day issue certificate(s) representing the appropriate number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock in accordance with such accounting firm’s determination and this Section. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of all fees and expenses of such determination and calculation.

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares .

2


          (a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. For the purposes hereof, the term “Trading Day” means (a) any day on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and traded on its primary trading market, (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted and traded on any trading market, then a day on which trading occurs on the Nasdaq Global Market (or any successor thereto), or (c) if trading ceases to occur on the Nasdaq Global Market (or any successor thereto), any Business Day.

          (b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

          (c) Intentionally Omitted.

          (d) The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

     6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

3


     7. Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

     8. Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, 100% of the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9 , if any). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

     9. Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

          (a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

          (b) Distributions Made Prior to Exercise . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of the holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, a “ Distribution ”), then in each such case any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a

4


fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the Weighted Average Price 1 of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date.

          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 9(b) above, if the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, makes a Distribution to the holders of Common Stock, then in each such case the Holder shall have the option to receive such Distribution which would have been made to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such Warrant Shares on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution; provided, however, if the Holder elects to receive such Distribution, it will not be entitled to receive the adjustment to the Exercise Price specified in clause (b) above.

          (d) Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time during the term of this Warrant, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation) another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions; provided, however, that for avoidance of doubt, the granting of a lien on all or substantially all of the Company’s assets as collateral shall not be deemed a Fundamental Transaction hereunder, (iii) allow another Person to make a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of either the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the Person or Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the Persons making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), (iv) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon


1 “Weighted Average Price” means, for any security as of any date, the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on NASDAQ during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York Time (or such other time as NASDAQ publicly announces is the official open of trading), and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time (or such other time as NASDAQ publicly announces is the official close of trading) as reported by Bloomberg (means Bloomberg Financial Markets) through its “Volume at Price” functions, or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York Time (or such other time as such Principal Market publicly announces is the official open of trading), and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time (or such other time as such market publicly announces is the official close of trading) as reported by Bloomberg, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Weighted Average Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Weighted Average Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company in good faith. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (d) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

          (e) Weighted Average Anti-Dilution Price Protection . The Exercise Price of Warrant Shares (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:

     (1) “New Securities” shall mean any Common Stock or preferred stock of Company issued during the term of this Warrant, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase said Common Stock or preferred stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into said Common Stock or preferred stock (including but not limited to convertible debt or any other instrument exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock); provided, however, that “New Securities” does not include (i) any securities issued or issuable pursuant to any of the notes, options, warrants or other securities outstanding as of the date of the closing of the offering pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, including all Warrants; (ii) the issuance or sale of any shares of capital stock, or the grant of options exercisable therefor, issued or issuable after the date of this Warrant, to directors, officers, employees, advisers and consultants of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to any incentive or non-qualified stock option plan or agreement, stock purchase plan or agreement, stock restriction agreement or restricted stock plan, employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), consulting agreement, stock appreciation right (SAR), stock depreciation right (SDR), bonus stock arrangement, or such other similar compensatory options, issuances, arrangements, agreements or plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of capital stock or the grant of warrants or options (or the exercise thereof) as consideration for mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances and other commercial transactions, other than in connection with a financing transaction or (iv) shares of Company's Common Stock issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, or recapitalization by Company.

6


     (2) In the event that Company issues New Securities for a consideration of less than the Exercise Price (as adjusted per this Section 9 hereof), or if the Exercise Price shall have been adjusted hereunder, and the Company issues New Securities for a purchase price below the adjusted Exercise Price, then the then-current Exercise Price shall be adjusted downward to a price determined by dividing

     i. the sum of (w) the Exercise Price in effect before the issuance of such New Securities multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding and (x) the consideration, if any, received by or deemed to have been received by the Company on the issue of such New Securities by:

     ii. the sum of (y) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such New Securities and (z) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued in the issuance of such New Securities.

     (3) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid.

     (4) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Company’s board of directors consistent with its fiduciary duties irrespective of any accounting treatment.

     (5) The Company will not by reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, or otherwise, avoid or seek to avoid observance or performance of any of the terms of this Section 9 , but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out and performance of all provisions of this Section 9 in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

          (f) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, as applicable, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased, as applicable, number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

          (g) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

          (h) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant

7


Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

          (i) Notice of Corporate Events . If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

     10. Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds (a “cash exercise”); provided, however, that if at any time after the date that is six (6) months after the date of this Warrant (the “ Required Effective Date ”) a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares is not effective on the Exercise Date, or no current prospectus under such Registration Statement is available, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

          X = Y [(A-B)/A]
  where:    
      X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
 
      Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this
      Warrant is being exercised (prior to cashless exercise).
 
      A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days
      immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
 
      B = the Exercise Price.

     For purposes of this Section 10, “Closing Prices” for any date, shall mean the closing price per share of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the primary trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

     For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant

8


Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

     11. Limitation on Exercise . 2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the limitation referred to in this Section shall be suspended (and shall not terminate or expire notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof) until such time, if any, as such shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such limitation, but in no event later than the Expiration Date. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section or increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage specified in such notice, but (i) any such waiver or increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such waiver or increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of Warrants.

     12. Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

     13. Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in the Purchase Agreement on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

     14. Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent

shall be a party shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

     15. Registration of Warrant Shares . The Warrant Shares shall be entitled to “piggyback” registration rights as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

     16. Miscellaneous .

          (a) Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.

          (b) The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, seek to call or redeem this Warrant or avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares, free from all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances, preemptive or similar rights and charges of stockholders (other than those imposed by the Holders), on the exercise of the Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

          (c) Remedies; Specific Performance . The Company acknowledges and agrees that there would be no adequate remedy at law to the Holder of this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant and accordingly, the Company agrees that, in addition to any other remedy to which the Holder may be entitled at law or in equity, the Holder shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Warrant, the Company shall not raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by the Holder hereof in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any such breach shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies shall be cumulative.

10


          (d) Amendments and Waivers . The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, (i) make any changes or corrections in this Agreement that are required to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or (ii) add to the covenants and agreements of the Company for the benefit of the Holders (including, without limitation, reduce the Exercise Price or extend the Expiration Date), or surrender any rights or power reserved to or conferred upon the Company in this Agreement; provided that, in the case of (i) or (ii), such changes or corrections shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of then outstanding Warrants in any material respect. This Warrant may also be amended or waived with the consent of the Company and the Holder. Further, the Company may, with the consent, in writing or at a meeting, of the Holders (the “ Required Holders ”) of the then outstanding Warrants exercisable for a majority or greater of the Common Stock eligible under such Warrants, amend in any way, by supplemental agreement or otherwise, this Warrant and/or all of the outstanding Warrants; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment by its express terms shall adversely affect any Holder differently than it affects all other Holders, unless such Holder consents thereto, and (ii) no such amendment concerning the number of Warrant Shares or Exercise Price shall be made unless any Holder who will be affected by such amendment consents thereto. If a new warrant agent is appointed by the Company, it shall at the request of the Company, and without need of independent inquiry as to whether such supplemental agreement is permitted by the terms of this Section 16(d) , join with the Company in the execution and delivery of any such supplemental agreements, but shall not be required to join in such execution and delivery for such supplemental agreement to become effective.

          (e) GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS STOCKHOLDERS. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE COMPANY AND HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY HOLDER HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN, AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY HOLDER, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY

11


LAW. THE COMPANY AND HOLDERS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

          (f) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

          (g) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

Garden State Securities, Inc.
Parkway 109 Office Center
328 Newman Springs Road
Red Bank, New Jersey 07701
Attn.: Ernest Pellegrino, Director of Investment Banking

Re: Proposed Private Placement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Nevada (the “ Company ”), proposes to offer for sale (the “ Offering ”) in a private offering pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”) an aggregate amount of up to $600,000 (the “ Offering Amount ”) of units (each a “ Unit ,” and, collectively, the “ Units ”) at a price of $0.80 per Unit (the “ Offering ”). Each Unit consists of (i) one share of the Company Common Stock (the “ Company Common Stock ”) and (ii) a five (5) year warrant (the “ Investor Warrants ”) to purchase 0.50 shares of the Company Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. The Company reserves the right to increase the Offering Amount by 500,000 Units or $400,000 of gross proceeds in its discretion. The Units, Company Common Stock and Investor Warrants are sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Securities ”). This letter agreement shall confirm our agreement concerning Garden State Securities, Inc. acting as a non-exclusive selling agent (the “ Selling Agent ” or “ Garden State ”) in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

     1. Appointment of Selling Agent.

     On the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby appoints Garden State as a non-exclusive selling agent during the offering period (as defined below) and grants to Garden State the right to offer, as its agent, the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. On the basis of such representations and warranties, and subject to such conditions, Garden State hereby accepts such appointment and agree to use its reasonable best efforts to secure subscribers to purchase subscriptions for the Securities. The Selling Agent may engage other FINRA member broker-dealer firms as sub-selling agents, and each such sub-selling agent shall be entitled to such compensation for its efforts as shall be determined between the Selling Agent and such sub-selling agent. The Company understands that the Selling Agent is being retained to obtain subscriptions for the Securities on a “best efforts” basis and has not guaranteed the sale of any Securities and is not purchasing any of the Securities for its own account. The Selling Agent shall have the right, at its option, to obtain subscriptions for a minimum of $300,000 of gross proceeds in the Offering.


     2. Terms of the Offering.

          (a) The Offering is being made on a “best efforts” basis with no minimum offering amount of subscriptions. In the event a subscription is not accepted by the Company or Garden State, such rejected subscription funds will be returned to the subscriber without interest or deduction.

          (b) The Company has prepared a Private Placement Offering Memorandum dated as of June 12, 2009 (together with its exhibits the “ PPM ”), a form of Warrant and Subscription Agreement to be delivered to all prospective investors. The PPM, form of Warrant and Subscription Agreement, including all supplements, exhibits, schedules and appendices thereto and other documents delivered therewith, are referred to herein as the “ Offering Documents ” and shall include any supplements or amendments in accordance with this Agreement. The Offering shall commence on the date hereof, and shall expire at 3:00 p.m., New York time, on June 30, 2009, unless extended in the sole discretion of the Company to a date not later than August 31, 2009. Such period, as same may be so extended, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “ Offering Period .”

          (c) Each prospective investor (a “ Prospective Investor” ) who desires to purchase Securities shall deliver to the Selling Agent the Subscription Agreement and other Offering Documents required to be executed by the investor and immediately available funds in the amount necessary to purchase the amount of Securities such Prospective Investor desires to purchase. The Selling Agent shall not have any obligation to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in any Offering Documents or the authenticity, sufficiency, or validity of any check delivered by any Prospective Investor in payment for Securities. Purchasers in the Offering shall be “accredited investors” as determined in accordance with Regulation D ( “Regulation D” ) as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). The Selling Agent and the Company shall be entitled to rely upon the statements made by the Prospective Investors in the Offering Documents executed by them. Prospective Investors whose subscriptions are accepted are sometimes referred to herein as “ Subscribers ”.

     3. Closing/Release of Funds.

          (a) Each closing (a “ Closing ”) shall be held at such time as the conditions as provided in the Offering Documents have been satisfied. References herein to the actual closing date thereof shall be referred to as a “ Closing Date .” The parties confirm that there is no minimum amount of Securities to be sold in the Offering.

          (b) All subscription funds shall be placed in a non interest bearing escrow account at Signature Bank located at 261 Madison Avenue in New York, New York pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into by and among the Company and Signature Bank as escrow agent. The Company shall be responsible for the fee of the escrow agent in the amount of $3,500.

          (c) Prior to or at each closing, the Company shall deliver to the Selling Agent the Securities to be issued to each Subscriber and the Selling Agent whose subscription has been accepted at each such closing and the Selling Agent Warrants (as defined in Section 5 below) issuable to the Selling Agent. The Selling Agent and the Company shall execute such closing documents as are

2


customary and usual, including, without limitation, an escrow release notice, an officers’ certificate and a subscription acceptance.

     4. Representations and Warranties of the Selling Agent.

     The Selling Agent represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

          (a) The Selling Agent is duly incorporated and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation.

          (b) The Selling Agent is, and at the time of each Closing will be, a duly registered broker-dealer pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ 1934 Act ”) and any applicable state statute where sales of the Securities will be made, and a member in good standing of FINRA.

          (c) Offers and sales of Securities by the Selling Agent will be made only in accordance with this Selling Agreement, the Selling Agent shall not engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising that is prohibited by Regulation D in connection with the Offering, or take any action that might reasonably be expected to jeopardize the availability for the Offering of the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 under Regulation D, and the Selling Agent will furnish to each investor a copy of the Offering Documents prior to accepting any subscription for the Securities.

     5. Compensation.

          (a) The Selling Agent shall be entitled, on the Closing Date, as compensation for its services as Selling Agent under this Agreement, to (i) selling Commissions payable in cash equal to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Securities sold by Selling Agent in the Offering and (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 3% of the gross proceeds of the Securities sold by Selling Agent in the Offering.

          (b) In addition to the compensation payable to the Selling Agent set forth in clause (a) above, the Company shall grant the Selling Agent (or its assigns, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section) warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (x) included in the Units sold by Selling Agent and (y) issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants sold by Selling Agent (the “ Selling Agent Warrants ”). The Agent Warrant will have a cashless exercise provision, contain certain anti-dilution provisions, have the same exercise price as the Investor Warrant and have the same registration rights as the securities underlying the Units. The Company shall not include the underlying shares in any registration statement without the prior written consent of the Selling Agent. The Selling Agent Warrants may be issued to employees and/or affiliates of the Selling Agent in such amounts as the Selling Agent shall notify in writing the Company prior to or after the Closing.

          (c) In addition, the Company shall also pay the legal expenses of the Selling Agents of $15,000, payable on the first Closing Date.

     6. Representations and Warranties of the Company.

          (a) The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Selling Agent that:

               (i) No Offering Documents or information provided by the Company to the Subscribers, including, without limitation the SEC Reports (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), contains or shall contain, or, in the case of the SEC Reports, contained at the time such reports were filed with the SEC, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of circumstances made therein not misleading.

               (iii) As of the date hereof, except as disclosed in the Offering Documents or the SEC Reports, there is no, and as of each Closing Date there shall not be any, litigation, arbitration, claim, governmental or other proceeding (formal or informal), or investigation pending or to the Company’s knowledge threatened, with respect to the Company, or its respective operations, businesses, properties, or assets, except which individually or in the aggregate do not now have and will not in the future have a material adverse effect upon the operations, business, properties, or assets of the Company.

               (iv) The Company is not in violation or breach of, or in default with respect to, any material term of its articles of incorporation or by-laws, as amended, as in effect as the date hereof and as of each Closing Date.

All necessary corporate proceedings of the Company have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Offering Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

               (vi) The Securities and the Selling Agent’s Warrants, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms hereof shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non assessable, without any personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof solely by being such holder and shall not have been issued in violation of any preemptive rights of stockholders.

          (viii) The Selling Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties contained in the Offering Documents on the same basis as if the representations and warranties have been made hereunder to the Selling Agent, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Company may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon giving five (5) business days’ prior notice thereof to Selling Agent, provided, however, that in the event that Selling Agent does not perform any obligation under this Agreement or any representation and warranty of Selling Agent hereunder is incomplete or inaccurate in any respect, this Agreement and all of the obligations of the Company hereunder may be immediately terminated by the Company by notice thereof to Selling Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Selling Agent shall be entitled to all compensation otherwise payable to it pursuant to Section 5 hereunder with respect to any subscription accepted by the Company.

     10. Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Agent, its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, and counsel, and sub selling agent and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Agent and sub selling agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever (which shall include, for all purposes of this Section 10, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and any and all expense whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) as and when incurred arising out of, based upon, or in connection with (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offering Documents, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company as stated in Section 10(b) with respect to the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Offering Documents or (ii) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement. The foregoing agreement to indemnify shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have, including liabilities arising under this Agreement.

     If any action is brought against the Selling Agent or any of its officers, directors, partners, employees, agent, or counsel, or and any sub selling agent and any controlling persons of the Selling Agent (an “indemnified party”), in respect of which indemnify may be sought against the Company pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, such indemnified party or parties shall promptly notify the Company (the “indemnifying party”) in writing of the institution of such action (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may have other than pursuant to this Section 10(a)) and the indemnifying party shall promptly assume the defense of such action, including

8


the employment of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties) and payment of expenses. Such indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such action or the indemnifying party shall not have promptly employed counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party or parties to have charge of the defense of such action or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it or them or to other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to one or more of the indemnifying parties, in any of which events such reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties. Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent. The Company agrees to promptly notify the Selling Agent of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers or directors in connection with the sale of the Securities or the Offering Documents.

          (b) The Selling Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and counsel, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Selling Agent in Section 10(a), with respect to any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, and expense whatsoever (which shall include, for all purposes of this Section 10, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and any and all expense whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation) as and when incurred arising out of, based upon, or in connection with (i) statements or omissions, if any, made in the Offering Documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company with respect to the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Offering Documents, and (ii) or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Selling Agent contained in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified based on the Offering Documents and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Selling Agent pursuant to this Section, the Selling Agent shall have the rights and duties given to the indemnifying party, and the Company and each other person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to the indemnified parties, by the provisions of Section 10(a) hereof.

          (c) To provide for just and equitable contribution, if (i) an indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) or 10(b) hereof but it is found in a final judicial determination, not subject to further appeal, that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though this Agreement expressly provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) any indemnified or indemnifying party seeks contribution under the Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, then the Company (including for this purpose any contribution made by or on behalf of any officer, director, employee, agent, or counsel of the Company, or any controlling person of the Company), on the one hand, and the Selling Agent (including for this purpose any contribution by or on behalf of an indemnified party), on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses whatsoever to which any of them may be subject, in such proportions as are appropriate to

9


reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent, on the other hand; provided, however, that if applicable law does not permit such allocation, then other relevant equitable considerations such as the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Agent in connection with the facts which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses shall also be considered. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total proceeds from the Offering (net of compensation payable to the Placement Agent pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof but before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and (y) the compensation received by the Selling Agent pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof.

     The relative fault, in the case of an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission, or alleged omission, shall be determined by, among other things, whether such statement, alleged statement, omission, or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Selling Agent, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, alleged statement, omission, or alleged omission. The Company and the Selling Agent agree that it would be unjust and inequitable if the respective obligations of the Company and the Selling Agent for contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation of the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages, and expenses or by any other method of allocation that does not reflect the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 10(c). In no case shall the Selling Agent by responsible for a portion of the contribution obligation in excess of the compensation received by it pursuant to Section 5(a) hereof. No person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 10(c), each person, if any, who controls the Selling Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, partners, employee, agent, and counsel of the Selling Agent, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Selling Agent, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent, and counsel of the Company, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the provisions of this Section 10(c). Anything in this Section 10(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, no party shall be liable for contribution with respect to the settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent.

     11. Non-Solicitation.

     The Company agrees that, for a period of 12 months from the date hereof (the “ Non-Solicitation Period ”), it shall not solicit any offer to buy from or offer to sell to any of the persons (individuals and/or entities) introduced to the Company by the Selling Agent in connection with the Offering (whether or not such persons invest in the Offering), any securities of the Company or of any affiliate, with any selling agent, placement agent, broker or dealer, other than Garden State. In the event that during the Non-Solicitation Period, the Company or any of its affiliates, directly or indirectly, solicits, offers to buy from or offers to sell to any such persons any such securities from any other, placement agent, securities broker or dealer or selling agent other than Garden State, the Company shall pay to the Selling Agent the same compensation payable to the Selling Agent as described under Section 5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Non-Solicitation Period, the Company shall not give the names of the subscribers to any other broker dealer or selling or placement agent; provided, however, it shall not be a violation of this Section if the Company includes

10


the names of the persons who decide to invest in the Offering in any public filing made by the Company including but not limited to filings that the Company makes with SEC. Upon receipt of written request by the Selling Agent, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Selling Agent the names of any persons with whom the Company completes a subsequent financing within 12 months from the date of the Closing Date. This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     12. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

     All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements at the Closing Date and, such representations and warranties shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Selling Agent or any indemnified person, or by or on behalf of the Company or any person or entity which is entitled to be indemnified under Section 10, and shall survive for a period of three (3) years from the date hereof. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing and any election hereunder or any termination of this Agreement, and whether or not the terms of this Agreement are otherwise carried out, the provisions of Section 10 shall survive for a period of five (5) years from the date hereof.

     13. Notices.

     All communications hereunder, except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be in writing and shall be either (i) mailed by first class mail in which case delivery shall be deemed to be made three days following deposit in the United States mail; or (ii) sent by overnight courier service in which case delivery shall be deemed to be made upon delivery, to: Garden State Securities, Inc.

     14. Parties.

     This Agreement shall inure solely to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Selling Agent and the Company and the persons and entities referred to in Section 10 who are entitled to indemnification or contribution, and their respective successors, legal representatives, and assigns (which shall not include any purchaser, as such, of Securities), and no other person shall have or be construed to have any legal or equitable right remedy, or claim under or in respect of or by virtue of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

     15. Construction; Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

The parties hereto hereby: (i) waives any objection which they may now have or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (ii) irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the New York Supreme Court, County of New York, and the United

     17. No Fiduciary Relationship.

     The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the offering and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Prospective Investors; (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to the Offering, the Selling Agent is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company; (iii) the Selling Agent has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the Offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including any negotiation related to the pricing of the Securities; and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate in connection with this Agreement and the Offering.

     Section 8. Inventions and Patents . Executive acknowledges that all inventions, innovations, improvements, know how, plans, development, methods, designs, analyses, specifications, software, drawings, reports and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable or reduced to practice) which relate to any of the Company’s actual or proposed business activities and which are created, designed or conceived, developed or made by Executive during Executive’s past or future employment by the Company, or any Subsidiary, or any predecessor thereof (“ Work Product ”) belong to the Company, or its Subsidiaries, as applicable. Any copyrightable work falling within the definition of Work Product shall be deemed a “work made for hire” and ownership of all right title and interest shall rest in the Company.

The Company and Executive agree that if, at any time a court holds that anything stated in any Section of this Agreement is unreasonable under circumstances then existing, then the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. Because Executive’s services are unique and because Executive has access to information of the type described in Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof, the Company and Executive agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof. Therefore, in the event of a breach of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof, the Company and any Subsidiary thereof may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions of Section 6, 7 or 8 hereof.
