PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
     from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by
     the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
     thereof?
                                                       [X]Yes   []No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
     and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
     estimate of the results cannot be made.

               The registrant has attached hereto a discussion of its results of
               operations and its liquidity and capital resources.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000

          REVENUES

          Product Sales -- Revenues from product sales were $32,374 in the three
     months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $346,501 in the three months
     ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase of $314,127. The
     increase in revenues from product sales was due to increased orders and the
     fulfillment of orders that we were previously unable to install due to our
     pre-initial public offering cash constraints.

          Revenue Sharing Arrangements -- Our revenue from revenue sharing
     arrangements was $110,587 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
     $92,521 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, representing a
     decrease of $18,066, or 16%. The decrease in revenue from revenue sharing
     arrangements was due primarily to the transfer of Refreshment Centers to
     RSi BRE, Inc., an unconsolidated, wholly owned subsidiary. Because RSi BRE
     is not consolidated, the related revenues are not included in our financial
     statements. Rather, we record our equity in RSi BRE's income for each
     respective period. The revenue sharing revenue for these units was
     recognized as revenue sharing income during the three months ended
     September 30, 1999, and accordingly was not recognized for the three months
     ended September 30, 2000.

          Maintenance Fee Revenues -- Our maintenance fee revenues were $60,288
     for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $21,543 for the three
     months ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $38,745, or
     64%, from the three months ended September 30, 1999 to the three months
     ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was due primarily to the expiration
     of maintenance contracts representing 753 units and the transfer of
     Refreshment Centers to RSi BRE. Because RSi BRE is not consolidated, the
     related revenues are not included in our financial statements. Rather, we
     record our equity in RSi BRE's income for each respective period.

          COST OF REVENUE


          Cost of Product Sales Revenue -- Our cost of product sales revenue for
     the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $26,479 compared to $202,835
     for the three months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $176,356, or
     66%. The increase was due to the sale of 280 Refreshment Centers during the
     three months ended September 30, 2000. The gross margin percentage on
     revenue from product sales revenue was 18% in the three months ended
     September 30, 1999 and 41% in the three months ended September 30, 2000.
     The increase in gross margin percentage on product sales revenue resulted
     from efficiencies obtained in increased production volume.


                                      A-1
<PAGE>

          Cost of Revenue Sharing Revenue -- Our cost of revenue sharing revenue
     was $52,662 during the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $27,799
     during the three months ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease
     of $24,863, or 47%. The decrease in the cost of revenue sharing revenue was
     due to the transfer of Refreshment Centers to RSi BRE. The gross margin
     percentage on revenue sharing revenue was 52% in the three months ended
     September 30, 1999 and 70% in the three months ended September 30, 2000.
     The increase in gross margin percentage on revenue sharing revenue from the
     three months ended September 30, 1999 to the three months ended September
     30, 2000 resulted from the transfer to RSi BRE of Refreshment Centers that
     had more extensive service requirements.

          Cost of Maintenance Revenue -- Our cost of maintenance revenue was
     $59,428 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $66,861 in the
     three months ended September 30, 2000 representing an increase of $7,433,
     or 13%. The gross margin percentage on maintenance revenues was 1% in the
     three months ended September 30, 1999 and (210%) in the three months ended
     September 30, 2000. The increase in our cost of maintenance revenue and the
     decrease in gross margin percentages from the three months ended September
     30, 1999 to the three months ended September 30, 2000 was primarily due to
     the expense associated with the repair of a third party manufacturing
     defect, which expense may be recoverable.

          OPERATING EXPENSES

          Selling, General and Administrative -- Selling, general and
     administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash compensation expense, were
     $487,909 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $901,183 in the
     three months ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase of
     $413,274, or 84%. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented
     240% of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
     196% of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2000.
     The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses from the
     three months ended September 30, 1999 to the three months ended September
     30, 2000 was primarily due to the increased payroll and advertising expense
     in anticipation of increased sales activities. In addition, we experienced
     an increase in legal and investor relations expenses in the three months
     ended September 30, 2000.

          Research and Development Expenses -- Research and development expenses
     were $69,314 in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $83,544 in
     the three months ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase of
     $14,230, or 21%. Research and development expenses represented 34% of our
     total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 18% of our
     total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
     research and development expenses resulted from the reorganization of the
     research and development department in an effort to maximize the efficiency
     of its operation.

          Non-Cash Compensation Expense -- Non-cash compensation expense was $0
     in the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $9,366 in the three months
     ended September 30, 2000. The non-cash compensation expense recorded in the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted from options and warrants
     issued.

          OTHER EXPENSE, NET

          Other expense was $304,465 in the three months ended September 30,
     1999 and $891,906 in the three months ended September 30, 2000,
     representing a increase of $587,441, or 193%. The increase is due primarily
     to the increase in interest due to increased borrowings and the write-off
     of a stockholder receivable from $390,000 to $0. The stockholder receivable
     is currently a part of the bankruptcy estate of the stockholder.


                                      A-2
<PAGE>

          LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

          We incurred losses attributable to common stockholders of $879,969 and
     $5,180,910 during the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
     respectively. The $4,300,941 increase in the loss attributable to common
     stockholders was due primarily to decreased gross profit margin, increased
     selling, general and administrative expenses, increased interest expense,
     the write-off of a $390,000 stockholder receivable and increased dividends
     related to convertible preferred stock. We have continued to incur losses
     subsequent to September 30, 2000 and, as a result, have experienced an
     increase in accumulated deficit. We believe that we will continue to incur
     losses for a period of time.

     COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 2000

          REVENUES

          Product Sales -- Our revenue from product sales was $32,374 in
     revenues from product sales in the nine months ended September 30, 1999
     compared to $2,012,788 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
     representing an increase of 1,980,414. The increase in revenues from
     product sales was due to increased orders and the fulfillment of orders
     that we were previously unable to install due to our pre-initial public
     offering cash constraints.

          Revenue Sharing Arrangements -- Our revenue from revenue sharing
     arrangements was $260,422 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
     $155,156 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing a
     decrease of $105,266, or 40%. The decrease in revenue from revenue sharing
     arrangements was due primarily to the transfer of Refreshment Centers to
     RSi BRE. Because RSi BRE is not consolidated, the related revenues are not
     included in our financial statements. Rather, we record our equity in RSi
     BRE's income for each respective period. The revenue sharing revenue for
     these units was recognized as revenue sharing income during the nine months
     ended September 30, 1999, and accordingly was not recognized for the nine
     months ended September 30, 2000.

          Maintenance Fee Revenues -- Our maintenance fee revenue was $222,303
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $110,400 for the nine
     months ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $111,903, or
     50%, from the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000. The decrease from the nine months ended September 30,
     1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was due primarily to the
     expiration of maintenance contracts representing 753 units and the transfer
     of Refreshment Centers to RSi BRE. Because RSi BRE is not consolidated, the
     related revenues are not included in our financial statements. Rather, we
     record our equity in RSi BRE's income for each respective period.

          COST OF REVENUE

          Cost of Product Sales Revenue -- Our cost of product sales revenue
     during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $26,479 compared to
     $1,468,891 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of
     $1,442,412. The increase was due to the sale of 1,624 Refreshment Centers
     and 907 eRoomSafes during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
     gross margin percentage on revenue from product sales revenue was 27% in
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 18% for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1999. The increase in gross margin percentage on
     product sales revenue resulted from efficiencies obtained in increased
     production volume.

          Cost of Revenue Sharing Revenue -- Our cost of revenue sharing revenue
     was $143,245 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $36,136
     during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease of
     $107,109, or 75%. The decrease in the cost of revenue sharing revenue was
     due to the transfer of Refreshment Centers to RSi BRE. The gross margin
     percentage on revenue sharing revenue was 45% in the nine months ended
     September 30, 1999 and 77% in the nine months


                                      A-3
<PAGE>

     ended September 30, 2000. The increase in gross margin percentage on
     revenue sharing revenue from the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted from the transfer to RSi
     BRE of Refreshment Centers that had more extensive service requirements.

          Cost of Maintenance Revenue -- Our cost of maintenance revenue was
     $95,590 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $74,762 in the nine
     months ended September 30, 2000 representing a decrease of $20,808, or 22%.
     The gross margin percentage on maintenance revenues was 57% in the nine
     months ended September 30, 1999 and 32% in the nine months ended September
     30, 2000. The decrease in our cost of maintenance revenue from the nine
     months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 2000
     was mainly due to the expiration of contracts representing 1,058 units. The
     decrease in gross margin percentage from the nine months ended September
     30, 1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was primarily due to
     the expense associated with the repair of a third party manufacturing
     defect that may be recoverable.

          OPERATING EXPENSES

          Selling, General and Administrative -- Selling, general and
     administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash compensation expense, were
     $1,252,404 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $2,066,595 in
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing an increase of
     $814,181, or 65%. Selling, general and administrative expenses represented
     243% of our total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
     91% of our total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The
     increase in selling, general and administrative expenses from the nine
     months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 2000
     was primarily due to the increased payroll and advertising expense in
     anticipation of increased sales activities. In addition, the Company
     experienced an increase in legal and investor relations expenses in the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000.

          Research and Development Expenses -- Research and development expenses
     were $206,530 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $187,932 in
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing a decrease of
     $18,598, or 9%. Research and development expenses represented 40% of our
     total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 8% of our
     total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in
     research and development expenses resulted from the reorganization of the
     research and development department in an effort to maximize the efficiency
     of its operation.

          Non-Cash Compensation Expense -- Non-cash compensation expense was $0
     in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $503,676 in the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000. The non-cash compensation expense recorded in the
     nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted from options and warrants
     issued.

          OTHER EXPENSE, NET

          Other expense was $956,893 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999
     and $1,590,673 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000, representing an
     increase of $633,780, or 66%. The increase is due primarily to interest
     expense and the write-off of a stockholder receivable from $390,000 to $0.

          LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

          We incurred losses attributable to common stockholders of $2,320,017
     and $9,254,252 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
     respectively. The $6,934,235 increase in the loss attributable to common
     stockholders was due primarily to increased selling, general and
     administrative expenses, the non-cash compensation expense discussed above,
     increased interest expense, the write-off of a $390,000 stockholder
     receivable and a $5,449,956 increase in dividends related to convertible
     preferred stock. We have continued to incur losses subsequent to September
     30, 2000 and, as a result,


                                      A-4

     have experienced an increase in accumulated deficit. We believe that we
     will continue to incur losses for a period of time.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          On August 9, 2000, we consummated our initial public offering for
     1,800,000 shares of common stock (the "IPO"). The Company received gross
     proceeds of $11.7 million and, after deducting the underwriting discounts
     and commissions and the offering expenses, net proceeds of approximately
     $9.86 million. The Company has also registered 270,000 shares of common
     stock pursuant to the same registration statement as part of an
     over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. The underwriters had 30
     days from the effective date of the registration statement, or until
     September 1, 2000, to exercise the over-allotment option, but did not do
     so. The net offering proceeds have been and will be used for funding the
     production and installation of our products and services, the repayment of
     a substantial portion of our outstanding indebtedness and related accrued
     interest, the payment of cash dividends on our Series A and Series C
     convertible preferred stock, our advertising and promotional expenses,
     additional research and development to improve our existing products and
     services and to develop our future products and services, and general
     corporate purposes and working capital.

          As of September 30, 2000, we had cash of $5,427,460 and working
     capital of $4,712,819 compared to cash of $113,252 and a working capital
     deficit of $2,650,616 at December 31, 1999. The increases in cash and
     working capital were the result of cash provided by the IPO, net of cash
     being used in operations, investment in RSi BRE, increases in inventories
     and decreases in deferred offering and financing costs. These uses of cash
     were offset, in part, by the proceeds from our Series C convertible
     preferred stock offering and the proceeds from the issuance of promissory
     notes. Our stockholders' equity improved from a deficit of $23,852 at
     December 31, 1999 to stockholders' equity of $7,652,722 at September 30,
     2000. The improvement in stockholders' equity primarily resulted from
     proceeds of the IPO, net of the net loss for the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000. Our accumulated deficit increased from $13,684,041 at
     December 31, 1999 to $22,938,292 at September 30, 2000. The increase in
     accumulated deficit resulted primarily from the triggering of a beneficial
     conversion feature at the time of the IPO and the net loss from operations.
     We anticipate that our accumulated deficit will continue to increase for a
     period of time.

          We believe that our current cash on hand and the funds from our
     long-term equipment financing arrangement will be sufficient to meet our
     capital expenditures and working capital requirements, including those from
     our planned expansion, for at least the next twelve months. However, we may
     need to raise additional funds to support more rapid expansion, respond to
     competitive pressures, invest in our new technology offerings and other
     product offerings or respond to unanticipated requirements. We cannot
     assure you that additional financing will be available to us in amounts or
     on terms acceptable to us. If sufficient funds are not available or are not
     available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our expansion, take
     advantage of additional product development opportunities, develop or
     enhance our products or services, or otherwise respond to competitive
     pressures could be significantly limited.

          Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000 was $2,217,450. Cash used in operating activities was
     primarily attributable to a net loss of $3,650,321, excluding non-cash
     compensation expense of $503,676. Our net cash used in operating activities
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $527,271. Cash used in
     operating activities was primarily attributed to increases in inventory and
     offset by increases in accrued liabilities.

          Our primary investing activities have historically consisted of
     expenditures relating to our revenue sharing program and for property and
     equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,868,620 and
     $972,794 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000,
     respectively. Investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
     2000 consisted of an increase of


                                      A-5
<PAGE>

     refreshment centers placed in service, purchases of property and equipment
     and additional investments in RSi BRE. Investing activities for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1999 consisted of additions to refreshment
     centers in service and purchases of property and equipment. We expect our
     investing activity to continue to increase in the fourth quarter of 2000
     due to an increased placement of our products under our revenue sharing
     program. Additionally, we anticipate that we will experience an increase in
     our capital expenditures and lease commitments for property and equipment
     consistent with anticipated growth in operations, infrastructure and
     personnel.

          Our financing activities provided $8,504,452 of cash for the nine
     months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2,500,697 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
     cash provided from financing activities consisted of $2,164,169 from
     borrowings, $685,831 received from the sale of preferred stock and warrants
     and $9,217,231 received from the IPO. For the nine months ended September
     30, 1999, cash provided from financing activities consisted of $504,806
     received from the sale of notes payable to officers and stockholders and
     $2,391,755 received from the sale of preferred stock and warrants.

          As of September 30, 2000, our debt, secured by our assets, consisted
     of $120,000 in notes issued in a 1996 private debt offering, $127,500 in
     notes issued in a 1997 private debt/equity offering, a $100,000 note
     payable to an individual and $67,795 in notes issued in a 2000 private
     debt/equity offering. As of September 30, 2000, our unsecured debt
     consisted of $7,468 in notes payable to a bank and secured by vehicles, a
     $6,062 note due to an individual and $60,007 of capital lease obligations.
     As of September 30, 2000, we paid off a significant portion of our debt
     obligations.

          With respect to our material commitments, we have entered into
     operating leases for our facilities and equipment and have entered into
     employment agreements with certain officers and key employees. We operate
     our facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with
     future minimum rental payments of $132,886, $119,836 and $104,030 for the
     years ending December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The future
     minimum lease payments on capitalized leases are calculated to be $35,728,
     $35,728 and $27,776 for the years ending December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002,
     respectively. Under our current agreements with our officers and key
     employees, we will pay base salaries of $829,592, $951,500 and $192,500 for
     the years ending December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The
     decrease in base salaries for the year ended December 31, 2002 relates to
     the expiration of a substantial number of our current agreements with our
     officers and key employees during such period. In addition, the Company
     intends to hire an executive vice president of sales and marketing at an
     anticipated annual base salary of $120,000.

     QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

          Our products require a limited amount of assembly at our facility in
     the United States. We purchase refrigerators from suppliers in Mexico,
     Italy and China on a purchase order basis in U.S. Dollars. All other
     components for our products are purchased from suppliers based in the
     United States. Our products are primarily marketed in the United States,
     the Bahamas and Brazil, and we intend to further expand our marketing to
     the international lodging market and to other industries domestically and
     internationally. As a result, our financial results could be affected by
     weak economic conditions in foreign markets. Because all of our revenues
     will be denominated in U.S. Dollars, a strengthening of the dollar could
     make our products less competitive in foreign markets.

          As we expand operations internationally, we will continue to evaluate
     our foreign currency exposures and risks and develop appropriate hedging or
     other strategies to manage those risks. We have not revised our current
     business practices to conform to Europe's conversion to the Euro.
