TAMPA FL, Feb 28, 2007- Cruisestock, Inc. (“Cruisestock” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: CSSK) and Brookside Technology Partners, Inc. (“Brookside”) announced today that they have closed a series of transactions as a result of which Cruisestock has acquired Brookside, Brookside has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cruisestock and the former shareholders of Brookside have acquired 7 million of the total 11 million shares of Cruisestock common stock outstanding as of the closing of the transactions.

Upon completion of those transactions, Michael Nole was elected to serve as Chief Executive Officer and was named as a director of Cruisestock. Mr. Nole has extensive industry experience in the industry, having been both a private consultant and holding various executive management positions with Executone Information Systems, Inc., which later became Executone Business Solutions, Claricom, and Staples Communications, which was, in turn, acquired by NextiraOne, LLC.

Also in conjunction with the transaction, Cruisestock has concluded a private placement with accredited investors in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. The Company issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Warrants, and Series B Warrants to the investors. Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“Midtown Partners”) acted as the sole placement agent in this transaction.

Details of both the above transactions can be found on the Company’s simultaneously filed SEC Form 8k.

Michael Nole, Chief Executive Officer of Cruisestock, stated "We are excited the initial transaction is completed and believe being public should allow us to execute our business model as a consolidator of small to medium size convergent technology companies.” Nole went on to say, “With my 18 year telephony background, five as an independent consultant to many smaller companies in this specific niche, it is our goal to grow the Company both organically and through additional accretive acquisitions. Although there can be no assurances, we hope to close four to six acquisitions over the next 24 months.”

Cruisestock Management feels the time is ripe for consolidation in turnkey converged voice and data solutions industry because, among other things:

• Enterprise spending on IP phone systems is expected to reach $4.2bb in 2007;
• The value of the hosted solutions market is predicted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 137% over the next six years;
• 90% of the enterprises with multiple locations is expected to start switching to IP systems for voice over the next five years; and
• IP Telophony equipment by 2007 is expected to account for 97% of all business telephony sales.

Michael Dance, President of Brookside, said. “Five years ago, my partners and I started Brookside with a $5,000 investment having identified the opportunity to provide business to business VoIP convergence solutions and to fill the void left by the consolidation of Major Telecom Companies now only chasing the major blue chip corporate accounts and abandoning the small to medium size business (under 500 desktops). Today, with the additional leadership and experience of Mike Nole together with the support of Investment Banking Firms like Midtown Partners, as a major shareholder of Cruisestock, I see a very bright future from both a business and long term equity participation view."
