Transaction Valuation
  Amount of Filing Fee
See Note 1   $31
(1)
As of December 4, 2001, the "transaction valuation" was calculated on the basis of the Black-Scholes option valuation model, and assumes that all eligible existing options to purchase 1,367,855 shares of common stock of eRoomSystem Technologies, Inc. will be tendered and cancelled pursuant to this offer, which may or may not occur. The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals 1/50 of one percent of the transaction valuation. The transaction valuation set forth above was calculated for the sole purpose of determining the filing fee, and should not be used or relied upon for any other purpose. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of publicly traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, the Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility and expected life of the options. Because our employee stock options differ significantly from traded options, and because changes in assumptions can materially affect the results of the Black-Scholes calculation, we believe that the Black-Scholes model does not provide a reliable measure of the value of the existing employee stock options covered by this offer. Because on the date of this filing most of these options have exercise prices that are substantially higher than the current trading price of our common stock, we believe these options have little or no current value.
