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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).

$946,350 and $601,680 for the comparable year earlier period. The increase in
direct costs as a percentage of hospitality revenue is primarily related to
management's decision to increase monthly recurring revenue through the
execution of agreements such as the Hyatt MSA. Additionally, the Company
wrote-off approximately $51,000 to direct costs and operating expenses related
to obsolete inventory.
Our Hospitality segment includes hotel and meeting rooms in the following

was $2,981,642 and $899,716 respectively, an increase of $2,081,926, or

expenses described below.
Our operations department expense increased $438,030 to $628,638 in the three
months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This

the Hyatt MSA and approximately $26,000 of office rent.
Our product development department expense increased $161,683 to $312,076 in the

not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from
their use and eventual disposition. This loss resulted in the write-down of
approximately $920,000 of property and equipment, $146,000 of inventory and
$46,000 of property receivables.
Our operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was

consistent with the increase in our line of credit and an increase in financing
costs of $37,598 associated with debt discount expense on warrants issued
pursuant to draws against our line of credit.
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

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.

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.
