LATEST NEWS!! Hays County, TX Contracts With Brookside to Implement New Communications System Technology TAMPA, FL, Jul 13, 2010 -- Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: BKSD) is pleased to announce that the government offices of Hays County, Texas, have recently agreed to deploy an all new communications technology system in a partnership with Brookside's Southwest Regional office, Austin-based Brookside Technology Partners. This decision comes after several months of identifying opportunities to significantly improve the County's existing 17-year-old systems, researching and comparing available options, and ultimately choosing a networked system of Mitel platforms throughout the eight buildings that serve most of the County's 850 employees who engage with a population base expected to exceed 150,000 based on the 2010 Census. Among the needs for a change in provider and equipment were the excessive monthly costs for outdated technology, the inability of the various offices to communicate internally in a cost-efficient manner, and the desire to update the complex directory of county officials to make the system infinitely more accessible to County residents. "After learning much about the deficiencies, pain points, and needs of Hays County, Brookside, in conjunction with Mitel, architected a comprehensive solution that addressed each of these concerns," said George Pacinelli, President of Brookside. Pacinelli continued, "Ultimately, these efforts will deliver a cost effective, feature rich communication solution that both the employees and residents of Hays County deserve." "What I want to emphasize is that with this action, we are going to save the County money -- big dollars -- and get better service for all County employees, while at the same time, making it easier for the citizens of Hays County to phone the right County officials," Hays County Precinct 2 Commissioner Jeff Barton (D-Kyle) said recently. "So it really is a 'three-for,' in that sense. We'll be (1) saving money, (2) getting more productivity in the long run, and (3) making it easier for the citizens of Hays County to get information and services from their County government. I believe Brookside refers to that as 'Telefficiency(TM).'" About Brookside Technology Holdings Corp.

LATEST NEWS!! Jackson Hewitt Reports Fiscal 2010 Annual Results 2010 Fiscal Year Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.26 PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 14, 2010 -- Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. (NYSE: JTX), today reported results for the 2010 fiscal year ended April 30, 2010. Jackson Hewitt reported a net loss of $272.3 million, or $9.52 per basic and diluted share for the 2010 fiscal year, versus net income of $19.5 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted share for the 2009 fiscal year. On an adjusted basis, Jackson Hewitt's net income in the 2010 fiscal year was $7.5 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, versus adjusted net income of $29.0 million, or $1.02 per basic and diluted share for the 2009 fiscal year. Jackson Hewitt's 2010 fiscal year reported results reflect the impact of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $274.1 million, and a non-cash tax valuation charge of $11.5 million. A schedule entitled Adjusted Results of Operations, which reconciles the reported and adjusted results, accompanies this earnings release. "The 2010 tax season was a challenging one for Jackson Hewitt, as the loss of 50% of our refund anticipation loan ("RAL") product created an impediment that we could not fully overcome," said Harry W. Buckley, Jackson Hewitt's president and chief executive officer. "Despite the solid efforts of our dedicated employees and franchisees and cost control measures implemented during the year, the RAL issue, coupled with a soft economy, high unemployment and increased competition, resulted in a year of declining tax returns prepared, revenues and earnings." "The 2010 fiscal year is behind us and we are squarely focused on the future," continued Buckley. "We have already completed a new Strategic Plan aimed at improving our operating and financial performance beginning in 2011. Over the past couple of months, representatives from our franchise community, along with Jackson Hewitt corporate staff and field operations personnel, have worked diligently and collaboratively to develop our plan. The plan spells out several critical must have actions for the 2011 tax season, including reduced costs, resolution of our RAL product issue and the completion of a new franchise agreement renewal program, as well as several foundational and growth initiatives that can drive enhanced operational and financial performance in this upcoming tax season. Consistent with our plan, we began the 2011 fiscal year in May by announcing an organizational restructuring, which will incrementally reduce our 2011 fiscal year pre-tax expenses by approximately $5 million, while increasing our overall efficiency and accountability." "Underpinning all that we do going forward will be a continued emphasis on overall client satisfaction. Specifically, that emphasis will be on delivering the products, services and value that will improve client retention and attract new clients to the Jackson Hewitt brand," concluded Buckley. 2010 Full Year Consolidated Results Total reported revenues for the 2010 fiscal year were $213.8 million, consistent with previous guidance and versus $248.3 million for the 2009 full year. The 13.9% revenue decline resulted from a lower number of tax returns prepared and reduced financial product fees in connection with the limited RAL program, offset in part by slightly higher average revenue per return. As previously reported, Jackson Hewitt's national network of franchised and company-owned offices prepared 2.530 million tax returns in 2010, a decline of 14.4% compared to 2.955 million tax returns prepared in the prior fiscal year. Average revenues per tax return across all of Jackson Hewitt's operations were $208.14, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 1.0%. The network facilitated 2.191 million financial products, a decrease of 20.3% versus the prior year, primarily as a result of the smaller RAL program. Financial products facilitated include refund anticipation loans, assisted refunds and Gold Guarantee(R) products. Royalties and Marketing and Advertising revenues for the 2010 fiscal year were $89.0 million, versus $104.6 million in the 2009 fiscal year, due primarily to the decline in tax returns prepared by franchisees in connection with the RAL program issue, slightly offset by higher average revenue per return. Financial product fees for the 2010 fiscal year were $46.3 million, versus $59.9 million in the prior year, a decline of 22.6%, which resulted from lower aggregate economics with Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, given that they were not providing the RAL product, and the effect of somewhat lower overall negotiated economics with our bank product providers in 2010. Other revenues were $5.1 million in the 2010 fiscal year, down from $6.2 million a year ago due to lower revenues from the sales of new territories and lower electronic filing fees resulting from the decline in the number of tax returns prepared. Service revenues from company-owned office operations were $73.3 million in 2010, versus $77.7 million in 2009, due primarily to the loss of 50% of the RAL program and its impact on the number of tax returns prepared. Total reported expenses for the 2010 fiscal year were $465.6 million, including the effect of a 2010 third quarter non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $274.1 million, and compared to total reported expenses of $202.4 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Excluding the expense related adjustments detailed in the Adjusted Results of Operations schedule in the attached financial tables, total expenses would have been $181.1 million in fiscal 2010, versus $186.3 million in the 2009 fiscal year, a decline of $5.2 million, or 2.8%. The year-over-year decline in adjusted expenses resulted from a reduced overall headcount, as well as improved expense controls in both marketing and company-owned operations. Total debt outstanding at year-end was $274 million. Under Jackson Hewitt's Amended and Restated Credit Facility, debt now consists of a $200 million term loan, a $70 million non-revolving credit commitment and a $105 million revolving credit facility, which had $4 million drawn down at April 30, 2010. This facility has monthly borrowing limits, which generally track off season cash funding requirements. The entire $105 million revolving credit facility will be available to us by January 2011. The complete Amendment was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2010 as an 8-K attachment. Consolidated 2010 Fiscal Year Metrics: RAL Markets Versus Non-RAL Markets In Jackson Hewitt markets where the RAL product was available, total tax returns prepared in 2010 were down 8% in the 2010 tax season, and customer retention improved by approximately 1 percentage point to approximately 58%, versus last year. Correspondingly, in Jackson Hewitt markets where the RAL product was unavailable, total tax returns prepared were down 21% in the 2010 tax season, and customer retention declined by over 5 percentage points to approximately 51%, versus the prior year, reflecting the uneven competitive landscape with respect to RALs. 2010 Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results For the 2010 fourth quarter, total revenues were $125.6 million, versus $141.2 million in the 2009 fourth quarter, reflecting a decline of 11.0% due primarily to the loss of 50% of the RAL program and its resulting reduction in the number of tax returns prepared versus last year's fourth quarter, offset in part by increased revenues per tax return. The 2010 fourth quarter reported net income was $48.1 million, reflecting reported diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $1.67, versus reported net income of $41.3 million and reported diluted EPS of $1.45 in the 2009 fourth quarter. On an adjusted basis, the 2010 fourth quarter diluted EPS were $1.14, versus $1.69 in the 2009 fourth quarter, as reflected in attached schedule entitled Adjusted Results of Operations. Franchise Operations Franchise operations revenues for the 2010 fiscal year were $140.4 million, versus $170.7 million in the prior year. The 17.8% revenue decline resulted primarily from the limited RAL program and its resulting effect on the number of tax returns prepared, which declined 15.4%, offset in part by increased revenues per tax return versus the prior year. Royalty revenues decreased by $10.8 million to $61.8 million and Marketing and Advertising revenues decreased by $4.8 million to $27.2 million. The average royalty, marketing and advertising rate was 19.63% in the 2010 fiscal year, versus 19.65% in the prior year. Financial product fees were $46.3 million, versus $59.9 million in the prior year, reflecting decreased financial product counts resulting from the limited RAL program, as well as the aforementioned lower revenue associated with products offered through Santa Barbara Tax Products Group, given their inability to provide RALs, and the effect of somewhat lower overall negotiated economics with our bank product providers in 2010. Other revenues declined by $1.1 million, to $5.1 million in fiscal 2010, reflecting lower fees generated from the sale of territories during the year, as well as reduced electronic filing fees collected from franchisees given the fewer number of tax returns prepared. In the 2010 fiscal year, Jackson Hewitt recorded sales of 164 new territories, versus 70 new territory sales in the same period a year ago. The majority of new territory sales in 2010 was related to Jackson Hewitt's Walmart expansion activities and was completed under a special lower cost incentive program. Territory sales are reported in the "Other" revenue line item. Cost of franchise operations expenses were $37.8 million in fiscal 2010, versus $35.1 million in the prior year. Marketing and advertising expenses were $28.4 million, versus $36.6 million in the prior year. The 2010 fiscal year loss before income taxes was $160.8 million, including the effect of a 2010 third quarter $223.7 million goodwill impairment charge, as compared to income before income taxes of $86.8 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Excluding the effect of expenses reflected in the attached schedule entitled Adjusted Results of Operations, the franchise operations income before income taxes in the 2010 fiscal year would have been $63.5 million, versus adjusted income before income taxes of $92.3 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Company-Owned Office Operations Service revenues from company-owned office operations were $73.3 million in the 2010 fiscal year, a decline of $4.3 million, or 5.6%, versus the prior year. This revenue decline resulted primarily from the limited RAL program, which further resulted in a 7.6% year-over-year reduction in the number of tax returns prepared, offset in part by increased revenues per tax return versus the prior year. Total reported expenses in the company-owned office operations were $121.9 million, including a 2010 third quarter pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $50.4 million, versus total reported expenses of $84.6 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Loss before income taxes for the 2010 fiscal year was $48.6 million, including the effect of the goodwill impairment charge, versus a loss of $6.9 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Excluding the effect of expenses reflected in the attached schedule entitled Adjusted Results of Operations, the company-owned office operations income before income taxes in the 2010 fiscal year would have been $2.8 million, versus adjusted income before income taxes of $0.7 million in the 2009 fiscal year. Corporate and Other Reported loss before income taxes was $62.0 million in fiscal 2010, versus a loss of $46.9 million in the 2009 fiscal year. The increased 2010 fiscal year reported corporate and other loss included $2.6 million of non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with certain corporate advisory fees and our efforts to find alternative RAL funding prior to the 2010 tax season, as well as increased non-recurring employee termination and related expenses of $4.3 million, and increased interest expense of $7.6 million, versus the prior year. Excluding the effect of expenses reflected in the attached schedule entitled Adjusted Results of Operations, the corporate and other loss before income taxes in the 2010 fiscal year would have been $53.3 million, versus an adjusted loss before income taxes of $44.0 million in the 2009 fiscal year.
