Telephone service is provided through traditional, analog "twisted pair" lines, as well as digital voice over internet protocol ("VoIP") Analog phone service is typically provided via an interconnection agreement with CenturyLink, Inc.

Wholesale methods exist when the Company owns and controls the internet circuit and resale methods exist when the Company uses an affiliated third party to provide the internet circuit.

The Company generates revenue through: Network design and installation services Delivery of telephone service (billed monthly) Delivery of Internet service (billed monthly) Delivery of television service (billed by the satellite provider with monthly commissions paid to the Company) Management fees for the management of affiliated communication systems Trends and Business Outlook Our goal is to be the leading provider of in-room entertainment, programming, and internet connectivity to the hospitality industry. Accordingly, we have developed a menu of product offerings that differentiate us from other market participants in terms of usability, technical innovation and breadth of offerings. Organizationally, we are building the scale, capacity, and reach to respond to our customers' needs quickly. Over the past year we have taken significant steps towards these goals, and in the first quarter of 2012 we signed a master service agreement with Hyatt Corporation. We anticipate installing up to 60,000 Hyatt hotel rooms through March 2014. As a result, management's focus has shifted to operations in order to execute on the Hyatt master service agreement.

Where and how people communicate and access content is continuously changing, and this change has been documented by hotels when reviewing their guests' habits. Hotel guests are accessing content from the internet or alternative mobile sources such as laptops and smartphones. Our Interactive TV ("iTV") platform was developed to embrace these changing habits and allow guests easy access to their content, work files, and the internet via the in-room flat panel LCD television screen. The majority of our business growth is the result of our development of platforms that meet the hotel guests' expectations for accessibility to content and the value that it brings to the hotel owner. Guest usage rates of iTV are higher at our current hotel installations than with traditional systems. Our objective is to monetize the greater usage by guests of our iTV services as we increase our base of installed hotel rooms. Consequently, we are investing in sales and marketing and customer support capabilities. In addition we will continue to invest in the development and enhancement of the iTV platform as a differentiation from competitors.

Although our results demonstrate the initial success of our efforts, general economic conditions and market uncertainty may negatively impact our financial results in future periods. We anticipate that the rate of new orders may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition our ability to complete installations of our iTV system in a timely and efficient manner may be negatively impacted by our internal operating capabilities as we build the internal structure and capabilities necessary to meet customer demands. Consequently, if anticipated sales and shipments in any quarter do not occur when expected, expenses and inventory levels could be disproportionately high, and our operating results for that quarter and future quarters may be adversely affected. Further, given the lag between the incurrence of expenses in connection with sales "wins" and the resulting revenue stream, we anticipate that, while we will see organic growth that positions us for future profitability, our costs of sales and other operating expenses will exceed our revenues in the near term. We have incurred operating losses since our inception and the financial resources available to us may not be sufficient to exploit all sales opportunities or to allow us to continue to adequately invest in the efforts described above.

17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and property and equipment valuation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

The Company enters into contractual arrangements to provide multiple deliverables which may include some or all of the following - systems installations and a variety of services related to high speed internet access, free-to-guest programming, video on demand, and iTV as well as residential phone, internet and television. Each of these elements must be identified and individually evaluated for separation. The term "element" is used interchangeably with the term "deliverable" and the Company considers the facts and circumstances as it relates to its performance obligations in the arrangement and includes product and service elements, a license or right to use an asset, and other obligations negotiated for and assumed in the agreement. Analyzing an arrangement to identify all of the elements requires the use of judgment, however, once the deliverables have been identified, the Relative Fair Value of each Element was determined under the concept of Relative Selling Price (RSP) for which the Company applied the hierarchy of selling price under ASU Topic 650.

The effect of application of this standard may be to defer revenue recognition for installations across the service period of the contract and to re-allocate and/or defer revenue recognition across various service arrangements.

In order to promote the Interactive TV platform, Roomlinx has agreed to provide certain customers with direct sales-type lease financing to cover the cost of installation. These transactions result in the recognition of revenue and associated costs in full upon the customer's acceptance of the installation project and give rise to a lease receivable and unearned income.

We estimate the collectability of our trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including analysis of historical collection rates and the current credit-worthiness of significant customers.

Inventory includes materials on-hand at our warehouses as well as the cost of hardware, software, and labor which has been incurred by us for installation at our customer's property, but has not been accepted by the customer.

Since inception, we have accumulated substantial net operating loss carry forwards for tax purposes. There are statutory limitations on our ability to realize any future benefit from these potential tax assets and we are uncertain as to whether we will ever utilize the tax loss carry forwards. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax asset.

The Company provides compensation costs for our stock option plans determined in accordance with the fair value based method to estimate the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provide for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.

18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS On March 12, 2012, Roomlinx and Hyatt Corporation entered into a Master Services and Equipment Purchase Agreement (hereinafter the "Hyatt MSA") pursuant to which Roomlinx agreed to provide in-room media and entertainment solutions, including its proprietary Interactive TV (or iTV) platform, high speed internet, free-to-guest, on-demand programming and related support services, to Hyatt-owned, managed or franchised hotels that are located in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Roomlinx's iTV system may be provided in the "full option" (Interactive TV), the "mid option" (SmartTV) or the "lite option" (Video on Demand).

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reported a net loss of $2,547,486, compared to a net loss of $516,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2012 we had $2,930,993 in cash and cash equivalents. That amount, in addition to the credit facility provided by Cenfin, LLC, is sufficient to fund operating activities, new product installations, and to continue investing in our new media and entertainment product through September 30, 2013. Working capital at September 30, 2012 was $2,895,728, an increase of approximately $1.2 million compared to December 31, 2011. The increase primarily reflects the proceeds from the sale of equity.

We minimize borrowings under the credit facility by requiring customers to pay a 50% deposit prior to commencement of installation activities. In addition we obtained trade credit from suppliers for a significant portion of installation materials presently held in inventory. Customer deposits and trade credit are significant sources of liquidity. Should the Company be unable to obtain sufficient amounts of trade credit to finance inventory or should delays in installations result in payments under trade lines occurring sooner than deployment of the underlying inventory, borrowings under the credit facility will increase.

Operating Activities Net cash used by operating activities was $1,823,677 and $1,593,086 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in cash used in operations of $230,591 was attributable to the increase in net loss of $3,573,007 less the increase cash provided by operations of $3,342,416. Cash provided by operations included (i) an increase of $1,195,170 in non-cash expenses due to a $1,112,470 loss on asset impairment and other recurring non-cash adjustments such as stock based compensation and the amortization of debt discount, and (ii) an increase of $2,147,246 from the fluctuation in changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting from the Company requiring a 50% deposit at the time of hotel agreement execution and obtaining favorable vendor terms related to significant equipment purchases.

22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities was $395,071 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $207,750 used in investing activities during the same period in 2011. The increase in cash provided by investing activities of $602,821 consists of (i) an increase in cash receipts against leases receivable of $185,724, and (ii) a savings of $469,168 resulting from a reduction in equipment installation lease financing provided to customers in 2012 versus 2011, less an increase in capital expenditures of $52,071.

Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $3,980,787 and $1,945,276 respectively. The increase in cash of $2,035,512 is primarily attributable to the sale of common stock as a result of the Company having entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("SPA") on May 4, 2012 with certain investors (collectively, the "Investors"), which resulted in proceeds of $2,993,311 after transaction costs, pursuant to which the Investors purchased Units from Roomlinx for a purchase price of $2.50 per Unit, defined as one share of common stock plus a warrant to purchase one-half share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.75. See Note 7 for further details. As a result of the SPA to fund operations, the Company was able to reduce its need to borrow against its line of credit over the same nine month period by $880,000.
