NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Condensed Financial Statements - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements are condensed and, therefore, do not include all disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In particular, the Company's organization, nature of operations and significant accounting principles were presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in that annual report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid debt investments with original maturities of three months or less, readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and dilutive potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. For the years presented, all convertible securities are anti-dilutive.

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	For The Three Months Ended September 30,					For The Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010		2011			2010
Net loss	$	(22,823	)	$	45,694	$	(24,041	)	$	13,989
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding		23,982,865			23,907,865		23,947,151			23,865,283
Effect of dilutive securities
Stock options and warrants		-			44,056		-			35,294
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding		23,982,865			23,951,921		23,947,151			23,900,577
Basic loss per share	$	-		$	-	$	-		$	-
Diluted loss per share	$	-		$	-	$	-		$	-

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 2,175,344 and 2,037,844 respectively of potential common stock equivalents from options and warrants that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance that required the Company to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). This guidance became effective during the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income from that of current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Upon adoption, the Company will present its consolidated financial statements under this new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENTS

Investment in Equity Securities Available for Sale – As discussed further in Note 4, the Company was issued 50,000 shares of stock in Blackbird Corporation in July 2008. On June 7, 2010, Blackbird entered into a share exchange with RPID later renamed Spot Mobile International Ltd (“Spot Mobile”). The 50,000 shares of common stock of Blackbird were exchanged for 1,700,000 restricted shares of common stock of Spot Mobile. The Spot Mobile shares were reverse split in October 2010 to 56,667 shares. Spot Mobile’s common stock is publicly traded and had a post-split market value of $0.05 per share on June 30, 2011. The Company recorded an $42,500 unrealized gain on the investment in Spot Mobile at December 31, 2010. The Company recorded a $39,667 unrealized loss on the investment in Spot Mobile during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which is included in other comprehensive loss.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Aprecia, Inc. to zero through a $50,000 charge to other comprehensive loss. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company determined that Aprecia, Inc. was no longer an operating company, that the decline in value of this investment was other than temporary and recognized the $50,000 loss in operations.

Investments in equity securities as of September 30, 2011 are summarized below:

Equity Securities		Cost Basis				Unrealized Gains				Unrealized Losses				Fair Value
Spot Mobile		$	-			$	2,833			$	-			$	2,833

At September 30, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted solely of the unrealized holding loss from the investment in Spot Mobile.

Investment in Real Property Tax Liens – During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company purchased an additional $3,001 in real property tax liens from a municipality in New Jersey for total purchases of $126,654. Through September 30, 2011, the Company collected $97,051 in tax lien settlements. The New Jersey municipal tax liens are receivable from the real property owners and are secured by a first priority lien on the related real property. Upon foreclosure, the Company would obtain ownership of the real property. The tax lien receivables accrue interest up to 18% per annum, accrue penalties at 2% to 6% per annum and are also increased by the amount of any collection expenses incurred. The investment in the real property tax liens are accounted for as an investment in troubled debts and are carried at cost. Collection of interest, penalties and expense reimbursements is not certain and is recognized upon being realized.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORY

The Company maintains an inventory of product that is sold in the refreshment centers in a number of hotels. The inventory is purchased as finished goods. In addition, the Company maintains an inventory of minibars which are purchased as finished goods and held in a warehouse until deployment in a hotel.

NOTE 4 - NOTE RECEIVABLE

On July 24, 2008, the Company extended a loan in the amount $500,000 to BlackBird Corporation (“BlackBird”). The loan is evidenced by a 10% senior secured convertible promissory note made by BlackBird in favor of the Company (the “Secured Note”). In addition, BlackBird issued 50,000 shares of its common stock to the Company. On the date of issuance, the fair value of BlackBird’s common stock was not determinable and the shares were valued at zero. As further described in Note 2, the BlackBird common shares were exchanged for Spot Mobile common shares. The Secured Note was extended to June 30, 2011 and the interest rate increased to 18% after December 31, 2008, with interest payable quarterly on the last business day of each quarter. BlackBird did not pay its interest payments for the second quarter of 2011 in a timely fashion. In an agreement on November 3, 2011, the Company agreed to reduce the interest rate on the note to 10% retroactive to April 1, 2011 and to not foreclose on BlackBird’s assets if BlackBird remains in compliance with the terms of the agreement. As part of this agreement, BlackBird agreed to pay all outstanding interest due on the loan by November 11, 2011. BlackBird also agreed to make monthly interest payments within 10 days after the end of each month. The outstanding accrued interest of $25,069 as of September 30, 2011, was paid in full by Blackbird on November 10, 2011, in accordance with this agreement.

The note receivable is evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. If projections were to indicate that the carrying value of the promissory note was not recoverable, the carrying value would be reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the projected discounted cash flows. The BlackBird promissory note was evaluated for impairment as of September 30, 2011 and although Blackbird did not meet its obligation to make payment on the note and therefore is in default of its obligations under the note, no impairment was deemed necessary. The evaluation was based on the projected discounted cash flows of Blackbird, determined by the liquidation value of the underlying collateral. The Company has determined that the value of the underlying collateral is sufficient that upon foreclosure the Company would be able to realize the carrying value of the note. If BlackBird fails to comply with the terms of the agreement dated November 3, 2011, the Company plans on foreclosing on the underlying collateral to collect on the note. The net carrying value of the note has been reclassified to non-current assets.

NOTE 5 - PURCHASE OF ASSETS

On June 17, 2009, the Company purchased the assets of Kooltech SPE from Cardinal Pointe Capital (“CPC”), which assets consisted of automated minibars installed in six hotels, automated baskets and product inventory. The Company formed a subsidiary, eFridge, LLC (“eFridge”) for the purpose of this purchase. The purchase price was an amount equal to 30% of eFridge’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and 30% of eFridge’s cash flow related to any related new equipment purchased. Payment of the purchase price was payable by eFridge to CPC on a monthly basis within twenty days after the end of each month. In addition, the Company agreed that in the event eFridge or any other subsidiary of the Company purchases any new Kooltech equipment from the manufacturers thereof or brokers the sale of new Kooltech equipment or equipment materially similar to Kooltech’s to third parties, the Company would pay to CPC an amount equal to $30 per mini-bar and $15 per automated basket so purchased or brokered. The Company paid CPC, under the agreement, $5,613 for any liability incurred through March 31, 2011.

On June 29, 2011, the Company reached a final settlement of any and all obligations under the original agreement with payment of $20,000 to CPC. Payment of which was accounted for as an expense in June, 2011.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, a hierarchy has been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company uses fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis when fair value is the primary measure for accounting. Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to measure certain assets when applying lower of cost or market accounting or when adjusting carrying values. Fair value is also used when evaluating impairment on certain assets, including goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at September 30, 2011.

Investment in Equity Securities Available for Sale – The investment in equity securities available for sale is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial assets measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investment in Equity Securities
Available for Sale	$	2,833	$	-	$	-	$	2,833

Total Assets Measured at Fair Value	$	2,833	$	-	$	-	$	2,833

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On June 4, 2010, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to its Board of Directors in recognition of services rendered. These shares were valued at $11,250 ($0.15 per share). On May 10, 2011, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to its Board of Directors and a consultant in recognition of services rendered. These shares were valued at $10,500 ($0.14 per share).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock to an employee for services rendered. These options, which vested immediately, have an exercise price of $0.18 per share and are exercisable through March 22, 2015. These options were valued at approximately $0.15 per share, or $1,101, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 2.65%, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 115% and expected life of 5 years. These options expired when the employee left the Company in July 2010. No options to purchase shares of common stock were issued in 2011.

Our core business is the development and installation of an intelligent, in-room computer platform and communications network, or the eRoomSystem, for the lodging industry. The eRoomSystem is a computerized platform and processor-based system designed to collect and control data. The eRoomSystem supports our fully automated and interactive eRoomServ refreshment centers, eRoomSafes, eRoomEnergy products, and the eRoomTray. In 2005, we commenced our diversification strategy of investing in third party emerging growth companies. In 2009, we purchased Kooltech refreshment centers that were installed in various hotels from CPC. We may make additional investments in promising emerging growth companies, and potentially acquire an operating company if the opportunity arises.

On July 24, 2008, we provided a secured loan to BlackBird Corporation, a Florida corporation (“BlackBird”), an unrelated entity. The funding of the loan took place on completion of a transaction by BlackBird to acquire an unrelated company, USA Datanet Corporation. The acquisition took place on July 24, 2008. The loan is evidenced by a 10% senior secured convertible promissory note, made by BlackBird (the “Secured Note”). The Secured Note matured on June 30, 2009 and the interest rate increased to 18% annually as of January 1, 2009, with interest payable quarterly on the last business day of each quarter. An extension to the note was provided through June 30, 2011 at an interest rate of 18%. Blackbird is presently in default of its obligations under the note due to non-payment. In light of BlackBird’s inability to make payments as due, the Company agreed to lower the interest rate on the Secured Note to 10%.

On June 17, 2009, the Company purchased the assets of Kooltech SPE which had been acquired by Cardinal Pointe Capital (“CPC”). CPC sold the minibars, baskets and stock owned by Kooltech SPE to the Company. The Company formed a subsidiary, eFridge, LLC (“eFridge”) for the purposes of this purchase. The purchase price was an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of eFridge’s EBITDA and an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of New Equipment Cash Flow. Payment of the Purchase Price was to be made by eFridge to CPC on a monthly basis within twenty days after the end of each month, based on the eFridge’s EBITDA for the month then ended. On June 29, 2011, the Company reached a final settlement of any and all obligations under the agreement.

Our existing products interface with the hotel's property management system through our eRoomSystem communications network. The hotel's property management system posts usage of our products directly to the hotel guest's room account. The solutions offered by our eRoomSystem and related products have allowed us to install our products and services in several premier hotel chains, including Marriott International, Hilton Hotels and Carlson Hospitality Worldwide, in the United States and internationally.

Table of Contents

One of the byproducts of our technology is the information we have collected since our first product installation. To date, we have collected several million room-nights of data. Through our eRoomSystem, we are able to collect information regarding the usage of our products on a real-time basis. We use this information to help our customers increase their operating efficiencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $2,248,259 of cash and working capital of $2,387,381, as compared to $2,145,709 of cash and working capital of $2,971,373 at December 31, 2010. In addition, our stockholders' equity was $3,042,810 at September 30, 2011, compared to stockholders' equity of $3,096,018 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $53,208. The increase in cash primarily reflects the decrease of accounts receivable and payment on some tax liens.

Our accumulated deficit increased from $31,129,700 at December 31, 2010 to $31,153,741 at September 30, 2011. The $24,041 increase in accumulated deficit resulted directly from the net loss realized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Cash flow provided in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $72,916 as compared to $14,810 provided in the same period ended September 30, 2010.

Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 provided net cash of $29,634, compared to $265,210 of net cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

There were no financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Results of Operations

Description of Revenues

Historically, we have received most of our revenues from the sale or placement under a revenue-sharing program of our products in hotels. More recently we have purchased minibars and baskets already placed in hotels and setup a turnkey solution at these hotels. In these hotels we receive most of the revenues for the product sold in the minibars and baskets. We provide 3-5% of revenues to some of the hotels. We expect that these revenues will account for a substantial majority of our revenues for the foreseeable future. We also generate revenues from maintenance and support services relating to our existing installed products.

Our dependence on the lodging industry, including its guests, makes us extremely vulnerable to downturns in the lodging industry caused by the general economic environment. Such a downturn could result in fewer purchases by hotel guests of goods and services from our products installed in hotels, and accordingly lower revenues where our products are placed pursuant to a turnkey agreement. Time spent by individuals on travel and leisure is often discretionary for consumers and may be particularly affected by adverse trends in the general economy. The success of our operations depends, in part, upon discretionary consumer spending and economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, wages and salaries, business conditions, interest rates, and availability of credit and taxation.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 have decreased as our largest hotel customer is undergoing renovations and is no longer using our minibars or services.

In 2005 we commenced our diversification strategy to invest in emerging growth companies. We continue to explore opportunities and perform due diligence on third parties with respect to potential investments. At this time, we have not reached a definitive agreement to make further investments. In addition, we may acquire an operating company in the future if the opportunity arises. The timing and return on such investments, however, cannot be assured.

Revenue Recognition

Equipment sales revenue from our products is recognized upon completion of installation and acceptance by the customer. Sales revenue for product in the minibars that we sell under a turnkey solution is recognized upon completion of the sale.

Table of Contents

We have entered into installation, maintenance and license agreements with most of our existing hotel customers. Installation, maintenance and license revenues are recognized as the services are performed, or pro rata over the service period. We defer all revenue paid in advance relating to future services and products not yet installed and accepted by our customers.

Our installation, maintenance and license agreements stipulate that we collect a maintenance fee per eRoomServ refreshment center per day, payable on a monthly basis. Our objective is to generate gross profit margins of approximately 50% from our maintenance-related revenues. We base this objective on our historical cost of maintenance of approximately $0.04 per unit per day and, pursuant to our maintenance agreements, our projected receipt of generally not less than $0.08 per unit per day. There can be no assurance that such costs will not increase and that our objective will be met.

Description of Expenses

Cost of product sales consists primarily of cost of goods and labor as well as remaining basis on sale of old refreshment centers. We capitalize the production, shipping, installation and sales commissions related to the eRoomServ refreshment centers, eRoomSafes, eRoomTrays and eRoomEnergy management products placed under revenue-sharing agreements. Cost of maintenance fee revenues primarily consists of expenses related to customer support and maintenance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of general and administrative expenses including professional fees, salaries and related costs for accounting, administration, finance, human resources, information systems and legal personnel

Research and development expenses consist of payroll and related costs for hardware and software engineers, quality assurance specialists, management personnel, and the costs of materials used by our consultants in the maintenance of our existing installed products as well as research and development for new products. Research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $69,628 and $54,449, respectively.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility in the form of a working model has been established. Internally generated capitalizable software development costs have not been material to date. We have charged our software development costs to research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
