Among the factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: ? the failure of the Company to consummate the Merger with Signal Point ? the continued suspension of certain obligations of the Company and Hyatt pursuant to the MSA or the removal of such obligations from the MSA and the restructure or release of the obligations of certain Hyatt hotels to install the Company's iTV product; ? the Company's successful implementation of new products and services (either generally or with specific key customers); ? the Company's ability to satisfy the contractual terms of key customer contracts; ? the risk that we will not achieve the strategic benefits of the acquisition of Canadian Communications; ? demand for the new products and services, the volume and timing of systems sales and installations, the length of sales cycles and the installation process and the possibility that our products will not achieve or sustain market acceptance; ? unexpected changes in technologies and technological advances and ability to commercialize and manufacture products; ? the timing, cost and success or failure of new product and service introductions, development and product upgrade releases; ? the Company's ability to successfully compete against competitors offering similar products and services; ? the ability to obtain adequate financing in the future; ? the Company's ability to establish and maintain strategic relationships, including the risk that key customer contracts may be terminated before their full term; ? general economic and business conditions; ? errors or similar problems in our products, including product liabilities; ? the outcome of any legal proceeding that has been or may be instituted against us and others and changes in, or failure to comply with, governmental regulations; ? our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; ? maintaining our intellectual property rights and litigation involving intellectual property rights; ? legislative, regulatory and economic developments; ? risks related to third-party suppliers and our ability to obtain, use or successfully integrate third-party licensed technology; ? breach of our security by third parties; and ? those factors discussed in "Risk Factors" in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

19 We make these statements under the protection afforded by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Hyatt Master Services Agreement: On March 12, 2012, Roomlinx and Hyatt Corporation entered into a Master Services and Equipment Purchase Agreement (the "MSA") pursuant to which Roomlinx has 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. Under the agreement, Hyatt will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its managed hotels to order the installation of the Company's iTV product in a minimum number of rooms in Hyatt hotels within certain time frames.

In December 2012, Roomlinx and Hyatt mutually agreed to suspend certain Hyatt obligations under the MSA that had not been met, including the suspension of the obligations of Hyatt to cause a certain number of rooms in both Hyatt owned and managed properties to place orders for Roomlinx's iTV products within certain time frames. At the time of the December 2012 suspension of these Hyatt obligations, the Company had installed certain services and products in approximately 19,000 rooms (including approximately 9,000 installs of its iTV product) in Hyatt hotels. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company completed the installation of approximately 1,000 additional rooms. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deposits received on statements of work for Hyatt properties are recorded as customer deposits in the accompanying balance sheet in the amount of approximately $1,262,000 and $1,295,000, respectively.

See risk factors for discussion of potential effect on Company.

Trends and Business Outlook We believe there has been a fundamental shift in the way people communicate and from where they get their content. This shift is affecting guest habits within the hotel room. Hotel guests are getting their content from the internet or alternative mobile sources, such as laptops and smartphones. Roomlinx developed the Interactive TV platform to embrace these changing habits and allow guests easy access to their content, work, and the internet via the in-room flat panel LCD. The majority of Roomlinx' growth in 2013 recurring revenues can be attributed to sales of our Interactive TV product, high speed internet services and free-to-guest TV programming. We have seen strong usage of the Interactive TV platform at our current hotel installations and we believe there is even greater ability to monetize our Interactive TV platform as we increase hotel penetration and usage. We believe our Interactive TV platform creates a true differentiation for Roomlinx and we will continue to invest in product enhancements and Interactive TV sales and marketing efforts.

23 Although our current results demonstrate the success of our initial efforts, general economic conditions, aged hotel infrastructure, and market uncertainty may still negatively affect our financial results in future periods. We anticipate that the rate of installations will become more predictable however may vary from quarter to quarter. Consequently, if anticipated installations 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 hotel installations, we anticipate that, while we will see organic growth that positions us for future profitability, our costs of sales and other operating expenses may exceed our revenues in the near term. We have incurred operating losses since our inception.

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.

24 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.

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.

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements: The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company's financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its consolidated financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company's consolidated financial statements properly reflect the change.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts from Customers," which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)," and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of potential goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to the exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard and assessing the potential impact on its operations and financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company measures its performance and recurring revenue trend based on the number of revenue generating units ("RGUs") in service. Regarding the hospitality sector, a hotel room may have one or more RGUs. An RGU is defined as a product or service for which we invoice the hotel monthly, including interactive television, video on demand, free to guest programming, and high speed internet access. Residential properties may also have more than one RGU, which includes telephone, internet and television. As of June 30, 2014 the Company was servicing approximately 63,000 RGUs within the hospitality sector representing a net decrease of 600 RGUs or 1%, within the hospitality sector over the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, and 16 residential communities and small businesses, representing an additional 3,200 RGUs.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company realized a loss on discontinued operations related to the determination to cancel hospitality contracts serviced by Cardinal Hospitality, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary (see note 7 of the financial statements) as of December 20, 2013. The cancellation of these contracts was based on an analysis by the Company whereby it was determined that the continuing decline of recurring revenues associated with the CHL VOD product were generating losses at the individual property level. Accordingly the Company determined to eliminate these contracts. Under ASC 360-10, the consolidated comprehensive statement of loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 has been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

25 Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $1,896,412 and $2,343,810 respectively, a decrease of $447,398 or 19%, reflecting an increase in hospitality recurring service revenue of approximately $120,000, or 10%, a decrease in product and installation revenue of approximately $536,000 of 58%, and a decrease in residential recurring revenue of approximately $32,000, or 15%. The increase in hospitality recurring revenue was attributable to the increase in higher recurring revenue installs over the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. We believe the decline in residential recurring revenue relates to a reduction in use of traditional phone lines and increased competition.

Direct costs exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation ("direct costs") for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $1,183,156 and $1,722,675 respectively, a decrease of $539,519 or 31%. Direct costs of hospitality decreased approximately $516,000 or 33%, primarily related to the reduction in the installation of equipment. Direct costs of residential services had a net decrease of approximately $24,000.

Hospitality The hospitality segment includes hotel and meeting rooms in the following geographic segments: United States and Foreign. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, Foreign included Canada, Mexico and Aruba. The products offered under our hospitality segment include the installation of, and the support and service of, high-speed internet access, interactive TV services, free to guest programming, and on-demand programming, as well as advertising and e-commerce products. Effective December 20, 2013, substantially all Canadian and Aruba hospitality contracts serviced by CHL were cancelled by Roomlinx, as more fully discussed in note 7 of the financial statements.

United States: US hospitality revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,697,670 and $1,961,059 respectively, a decrease of $263,389 or 13%. This decrease consists of a decrease in installation revenue of approximately $399,000 or 50%, offset by an increase in recurring service revenue of approximately $136,000, or 12%.

Foreign: Foreign hospitality revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $12,698 and $164,912, respectively, a decrease of $152,214 or 92%. This decrease is primarily due to approximately $137,000 of installation revenue in 2013 compared to none in 2014. The remaining decrease is attributable to the cancelation of service contracts related to VOD revenues which the Company determined were no longer profitable.

Residential Our residential segment includes multi-dwelling unit and business customers in the United States. The products offered include the installation of, and the support and service of, telephone, internet, and television services.

Residential revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $186,044 and $217,839 respectively, a decrease of $31,795 or 15%. We believe the decline in recurring revenue relates to a reduction in use of traditional phone lines and increased competition.

Operational Expenses Total operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $922,432 and $1,205,651, a decrease of $283,219 or 23%. This decrease is primarily due to a cost reduction and containment program wherein the Company realized a 9% decrease in personnel, reducing payroll and related costs approximately $240,000, and a net decline in various operating expenses of approximately $6,000.

Our operations department expense decreased $20,936, or 8%, to $250,729 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in personnel, reducing payroll and related costs approximately $26,000 and an increase of approximately $5,000 in various operating costs.

26 Our product development department expense decreased $59,962, or 31%, to $135,295 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to same period in 2013. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in personnel, reducing payroll and related costs approximately $64,000 and an increase of approximately $4,000 in various operating costs.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $189,074 or 28% to $485,219 in the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to approximate fluctuations as follows: (i) payroll and related costs, including stock based compensation decreased $150,000, (ii) professional fees decreased $42,000, and (iii) marketing costs decreased $23,000; offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $59,000.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $51,189 and $64,436 respectively.

Our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $209,176 and $584,516 respectively, a decrease of $375,340 or 64%. This decrease is primarily attributable to cost savings achieved through the Company's 2013 cost reduction and containment program. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, continuing operational expenses, which consist of operating, product development, and selling, general and administrative costs, decreased 24% as a percentage of recurring revenue to 58% in 2014 compared to 81% in 2013.

Non-Operating For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our non-operating income was $95,821 and $48,234 respectively. The increase of $47,587 is primarily due to a gain recorded on the settlement of previously recorded liabilities and a decline in interest income earned on lease receivables as a result of (i) less properties under lease as of June 30, 2014 as compared to June 30, 2013 and (ii) under the imputed interest method, the recognition of interest income declines over time.

Our non-operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $146,326 and $144,064 respectively, an increase of $2,262. Non-operating expenses are primarily interest expense and the fluctuation is attributable to the maturity of various notes and capital lease obligations in 2013.

Discontinued operations are the result of the termination of all CHL contracts on December 20, 2013. Under ASC 360-10, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been reclassified for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, to identify a loss on discontinued operations of $46,657 and $38,744 respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we reported a net loss of $306,338, compared to a net loss of $719,090 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a reduction of net loss of $412,752, or 57%. This decrease is primarily attributable to cost savings achieved through the Company's 2013 cost reduction and containment program as discussed under Operational Expenses above and the elimination of the increased loss from discontinued operations approximating $8,000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company realized a loss on discontinued operations related to the determination to cancel hospitality contracts serviced by Cardinal Hospitality, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary (see note 7 of the financial statements) as of December 20, 2013. The cancellation of these contracts was based on an analysis by the Company whereby it was determined that the continuing decline of recurring revenues associated with the CHL VOD product were generating losses at the individual property level. Accordingly the Company determined to eliminate these contracts. Under ASC 360-10, the consolidated comprehensive statement of loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 has been reclassified to be consistent with the presentation for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $3,526,569 and $4,356,135 respectively, a decrease of $829,566 or 19%, reflecting an increase in hospitality recurring service revenue of approximately $189,000, or 8%, a decrease in product and installation revenue of approximately $957,000, or 65%, and a decrease in residential recurring revenue of approximately $61,000, or 14%. The increase in hospitality recurring revenue was attributable to the increase in higher recurring revenue installs over the twelve months ended June 30, 2014. We believe the decline in residential recurring revenue relates to a reduction in use of traditional phone lines and increased competition.

27 Direct costs exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation ("direct costs") for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $2,234,973 and $3,355,935 respectively, a decrease of $1,120,962 or 33%.

Foreign: Foreign hospitality revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $26,450 and $208,101, respectively, a decrease of $181,651 or 87%. This decrease is primarily due to approximately $137,000 of installation revenue in 2013 compared to none in 2014. The remaining decrease is attributable to the cancelation of service contracts related to VOD revenues which the Company determined were no longer profitable.

Our product development department expense decreased $193,862, or 41%, to $279,687 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to same period in 2013. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in personnel, reducing payroll and related costs approximately $191,000.

Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $384,486 or 27% to $1,030,248 in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Non-Operating For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our non-operating income was $137,524 and $100,960 respectively. The increase of $36,564 is primarily due to a gain recorded on the settlement of previously recorded liabilities and a decline in interest income earned on lease receivables as a result of (i) less properties under lease as of June 30, 2014 as compared to June 30, 2013 and (ii) under the imputed interest method, the recognition of interest income declines over time.

This decrease is primarily attributable to cost savings achieved through the Company's 2013 cost reduction and containment program as discussed under Operational Expenses above and the elimination of the reduced loss from discontinued operations approximating $61,000.
