Series C Convertible Preferred Stock On February 17, 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners 8% cumulative Series C convertible perefrered stock with a face value of $22,000,000. At any time until February 17, 2009, the holders have the right to convert the preferred stock, in whole or in part, into NeoMedia common stock of at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the trading stock price, as follows: $0.50 per share, or 97% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. In connection with the Series C convertible perefrered stock, we issued to Cornell Capital Partners warrants to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: 20,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and 30,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The exercise prices of these warrants were subsequently repriced to $0.10, $0.15, and $0.10, respectively, in connection with a convertible debenture financing in August 2006. The fair value of net proceeds received by NeoMedia in the transaction was $17,854,000, and the balance of $4,146,000 was afforded to the Purchasers as a discount. The discount afforded to the Purchasers, including the fair value of warrants granted, is substantial and could have a negative afffect on current and future stockholders due to additional dilution shareholders may experience if and when the Purchasers exercise such warrants. Convertible Debentures On August 24, 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance with a face value of $5,000,000. At any time until August 24, 2008, the holders have the right to convert the secured convertible debentures, in whole or in part, into NeoMedia common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the trading stock price, as follows: $0.15 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. In connection with the secured convertible debentures, we issued to Cornell warrants to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. In addition, NeoMedia repriced warrants perviously isseud to Cornell as follows: 10,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.20 to $0.10, 20,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.50 to $0.10, 25,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.40 to $0.15, and 30,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.30 to $0.10. 1 Acquisition Consideration Shares During February and March 2006, NeoMedia completed the acquisitions of Gavitec and 12Snap. The aggregate purchase price for Gavitec was $7,187,000, consisting of $1,800,000 cash, $114,000 acquisition-related costs, and $5,273,000 fair value of 13,660,511 shares issued as consideration. The aggregate purchase price for 12Snap was $22,036,000, consisting of $2,500,000 cash, $114,000 acquisition-related costs, and $19,422,000 fair value of 49,294,581 shares issued as consideration. Pursuant to the terms of the sale and purchase agreements with each company, in the event that NeoMedia's stock price at the time the consideration shares issued in connection with each acquisition are saleable is less than the price at which they were valued for purposes of the merger agreement ($0.389 per share with respect to Gavitec and $0.3956 per share with respect to 12Snap), NeoMedia is obligated to compensate the sellers in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and the price the shares were valued for purposes of the merger agreement. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisitions and through November 24, 2006, NeoMedia's stock has closed as low as $0.06 per share. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $20.9 million resulting from these clauses. During November and December 2006, NeoMedia eliminated similar obligations to Sponge Limited and Mobot, Inc., both of which were also acquired during the first quarter of 2006, through the divestiture of each business. It is important to note that of the 753,616,533 shares being registered, 671,277,650, or 89%, are being registered on behalf of one shareholder, Cornell Capital Partners.

If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. Risks Related to NeoMedia's Business NeoMedia Has Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue NeoMedia has incurred substantial operating losses since inception, and anticipates continuing to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $27,094,000 (unaudited), which includes a $6,523,000 gain from the change in fair value from revaluation of warrants and embedded conversion features associated with the preferred stock and convertible debenture financing and a $13,256,000 charge to write off deferred equity financing costs associated with the 2005 SEDA. NeoMedia also reported net losses of $9,147,000 and $7,230,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. NeoMedia's accumulated losses were approximately $119,618,000 (unaudited) and $92,524,000 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, NeoMedia had a working capital deficit of approximately $30,222,000, $4,874,000 and $2,597,000, respectively. NeoMedia had stockholders' equity of $40,854,000 (unaudited), $4,227,000 and $4,392,000 (unaudited) as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. NeoMedia generated revenues of $14,129,000 (unaudited), $762,000 (unaudited), $2,156,000 and $1,700,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, NeoMedia recorded negative cash flows from continuing operations of $8,381,000 (unaudited), $4,323,000 (unaudited), $6,509,000 and $4,650,000, respectively. To succeed, NeoMedia must develop new client and customer relationships and substantially increase its revenue derived from improved products and additional value-added services. NeoMedia has expended, and to the extent it has available financing, NeoMedia intends to continue to expend, substantial resources to develop and improve its products, increase its value-added services and to market its products and services. These development and marketing expenses must be incurred well in advance of the recognition of revenue. As a result, NeoMedia may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability. NeoMedia's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Have Added Going Concern Language To Their Report On NeoMedia's Consolidated Financial Statements, Which Means That NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Continue Operations The report of Stonefield Josephson, Inc., NeoMedia's independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to NeoMedia's consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, indicates that, at the date of their report, NeoMedia had suffered significant recurring losses from operations and its working capital deficit raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. NeoMedia's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. NeoMedia Has Guaranteed The Value Of Stock Issued In Connection With Recent Mergers Through The Registration Of The Shares, Which Could Result In A Material Cash Liability Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreements with Gavitec and 12Snap, in the event that NeoMedia's stock price at the time the consideration shares issued in connection with each acquisition are saleable is less than the price at which they were valued for purposes of the merger agreement ($0.389 per share with respect to Gavitec and $0.3956 per share with respect to 12Snap), NeoMedia is obligated to compensate the sellers in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and the price the shares were valued for purposes of the merger agreement. Subsequent to the closing of the acquisitions and through November 24, 2006, NeoMedia's stock has closed as low as $0.06 per share. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $20.9 million resulting from these clauses. As a result, NeoMedia is attempting to negotiate for payment of the purchase price guarantees in another non-cash form, including additional shares of common stock. There is no guarantee that NeoMedia will be successful in negotiating such an agreement with any or all of the parties involved. 4 All Of The Company's Assets Are Pledged To Secure Certain Debt Obligations, Which The Company Could Fail To Repay Pursuant to secured convertible debentures, dated as of August 24, 2006 in the principal amount of $5,000,000 issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP, the Company was required to secure such secured convertible debentures' repayment with substantially all of its assets. In the event the Company is unable to repay the secured convertible debentures, it could lose all of its assets and be forced to cease its operations. If the Company is found to be in default under the debentures, the full principal amount of the debentures, together with interest and other amounts owing, may become immediately due and payable. NeoMedia Has Contractual Commitments To Pay Silent Partners Resulting from the acquisition of 12 Snap, NeoMedia has a commitment to pay approximately $2.1 million plus accrued interest and penalties of approximately $0.4 million, at the end of 2006 to the Silent Partners of 12Snap. If NeoMedia's financial resources are insufficient, NeoMedia may require additional financing in order to meet this obligation. There is no guarantee that NeoMedia will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital to meet this obligation on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, NeoMedia may be unable to repay this obligation when it becomes due. NeoMedia Could Identify Material Internal Control Weaknesses As Part Of Its Sarbanes-Oxley Internal Control Review For Its Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006, The regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Company's independent auditors will be required to confirm in writing whether management's assessment of the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects, and separately report on whether they believe management maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. As part of the assessment of our internal controls in connection with the process required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management intends to continue to review, evaluate and strengthen our controls and processes. Management cannot state that material weaknesses in internal controls will not be determined. Management also cannot state that the process of evaluation and the auditor's attestation will be completed on time. If a material weakness is discovered, corrective action may be time consuming, costly and further divert the attention of management. The disclosure of a material weakness, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market's confidence in the Company's financial statements and harm the Company's stock price, especially if a restatement of financial statements for past periods is required. There Is Limited Information Upon Which Investors Can Evaluate NeoMedia's Business Because The Physical-World-To-Internet Market Has Existed For Only A Short Period Of Time The physical-world-to-Internet market in which NeoMedia operates is a recently developed market. Further, NeoMedia has conducted operations in this market only since March 1996. Consequently, NeoMedia has a relatively limited operating history upon which an investor may base an evaluation of NeoMedia's primary business and determine NeoMedia's prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. To date, NeoMedia has had limited sales of its physical-world-to-Internet products. NeoMedia is prone to all of the risks inherent to the establishment of any new business venture, including unforeseen changes in its business plan. An investor should consider the likelihood of NeoMedia's future success to be highly speculative in light of its limited operating history in its primary market, as well as the limited resources, problems, expenses, risks, and complications frequently encountered by similarly situated companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, such as the physical-world-to-Internet space. To address these risks, NeoMedia must, among other things: o maintain and increase its client base; o implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy; o continue to develop and upgrade its products; o continually update and improve service offerings and features; o respond to industry and competitive developments; and o attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. 5 NeoMedia may not be successful in addressing these risks. If NeoMedia is unable to do so, its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. NeoMedia's Future Success Depends On The Timely Introduction Of New Products And The Acceptance Of These New Products In The Marketplace. Rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions are typical for the markets NeoMedia serves. NeoMedia's future success will depend in large part on continuous, timely development and introduction of new products that address evolving market requirements. To the extent that NeoMedia fails to introduce new and innovative products, it may lose market share to its competitors, which may be difficult to regain. Any inability, for technological or other reasons, to successfully develop and introduce new products could materially and adversely affect NeoMedia's business. NeoMedia's Common Stock Is Deemed To Be "Penny Stock," Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements NeoMedia's common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These requirements may reduce the potential market for NeoMedia's common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in NeoMedia's common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause NeoMedia's stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock: o with a price of less than $5.00 per share; o that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; o whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or o in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6 million for the last three years. Broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution When Certain Investors Convert Their Preferred Stock to Common Stock, Convert Outstanding Convertible Debentures, Or When the Investors Exercise Their Warrants and Receive Common Stock Shares Under The Investment Agreement With The Investors The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of Series C convertible preferred stock or the conversion of convertible debentures pursuant to our transactions with Cornell Capital Partners will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income or loss per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue pursuant to the conversion of our preferred stock or the convertible debentures. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. Due To The Accounting Treatment Of Certain Convertible Preferred Stock And Convertible Debenture Instruments Issued By NeoMedia, A Fluctuation In NeoMedia's Stock Price Could Have A Material Impact On NeoMedia's Results Of Operations During the three months ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006, and September 30, 2006, NeoMedia recognized income (expense) in the amount of $4,768,000, $11,026,000, and ($9,271,000), respectively, from adjustments recorded to reflect the change in fair value from revaluation of warrants and embedded conversion features in connection with its Series C convertible preferred shares and its convertible debenture. NeoMedia will adjust the carrying value of its derivative instruments to market at each balance sheet date. As a result, NeoMedia could experience significant fluctuations in its net income (loss) in future periods from such charges based on corresponding movement in NeoMedia's share price. 6 NeoMedia Is Uncertain Of The Success Of Its NeoMedia Mobile Business Unit And The Failure Of This Unit Would Negatively Affect The Price Of NeoMedia's Stock NeoMedia provides products and services that provide a link from physical objects, including printed material, to the mobile Internet. NeoMedia can provide no assurance that: o its NeoMedia Mobile business unit will ever achieve profitability; o its current product offerings will not be adversely affected by the focusing of its resources on the physical-world-to-Internet space; or o the products NeoMedia develops will obtain market acceptance. In the event that the NeoMedia Mobile business unit should never achieve profitability, that NeoMedia's current product offerings should so suffer, or that NeoMedia's products fail to obtain market acceptance, NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. A Large Percentage Of NeoMedia's Assets Are Intangible Assets, Which Will Have Little Or No Value If NeoMedia's Operations Are Unsuccessful At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and 2004, approximately 81%, 48% and 49%, respectively, of NeoMedia's total assets were intangible assets, consisting primarily of rights related to NeoMedia's patents, other intellectual property, and excess of purchase price over fair market value paid for Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, 12Snap, BSD, and CSI International, Inc. If NeoMedia's operations are unsuccessful, these assets will have little or no value, which would materially adversely affect the value of NeoMedia's stock and the ability of NeoMedia's stockholders to recoup their investments in NeoMedia's capital stock. NeoMedia reviews its amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. NeoMedia may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in its financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, resulting in an impact on results of operations. Certain Of NeoMedia's Emerging Products And Services Have Limited History And May Not Result In Success To date, NeoMedia has conducted limited marketing efforts directly relating to its emerging technology products, consisting primarily of the Qode suite of products, and certain products of recent acquisition of Gavitec. Many of NeoMedia's marketing efforts with respect to these emerging technologies have been largely untested in the marketplace, and may not result in materially increased sales of these emerging products and services. To penetrate the emerging markets in which it competes, NeoMedia expects that it will have to exert significant efforts to create awareness of, and demand for, its emerging products and services. To the extent funding is available, NeoMedia intends to continue to expand its sales and marketing resources as the market continues to mature. NeoMedia's failure to further develop its sales and marketing capabilities and successfully market its emerging products and services would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. NeoMedia's Internally Developed Systems Are Inefficient And May Put NeoMedia At A Competitive Disadvantage NeoMedia uses internally developed technologies for a portion of its systems integration services, as well as the technologies required to interconnect its clients' and customers' physical-world-to-Internet systems and hardware with its own. As NeoMedia develops these systems in order to integrate disparate systems and hardware on a case-by-case basis, these systems are inefficient and require a significant amount of customization. Such client and customer-specific customization is time consuming and costly and may place NeoMedia at a competitive disadvantage when compared to competitors with more efficient systems. NeoMedia Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel NeoMedia's future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract, train, and retain additional highly skilled executive level management, creative, technical, and sales personnel. Competition is intense for these types of personnel from other technology companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, marketing, human, and other resources than NeoMedia has. NeoMedia may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. NeoMedia's failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. 7 NeoMedia Depends Upon Its Senior Management And Their Loss Or Unavailability Could Put NeoMedia At A Competitive Disadvantage NeoMedia's success depends largely on the skills of certain key management and technical personnel, including Charles T. Jensen, NeoMedia's President and Chief Executive Officer, Charles W. Fritz, NeoMedia's founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Martin N. Copus, NeoMedia's Chief Operating Officer and head of the NMM business unit, and David A. Dodge, NeoMedia's Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of Messrs. Jensen, Fritz, Copus, or Dodge could materially harm NeoMedia's business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. NeoMedia does not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Messrs. Jensen, Fritz, Copus, or Dodge. NeoMedia May Be Unsuccessful In Integrating Its Recently Completed and Pending Acquisitions With Its Current Business The success of the acquisitions of 12Snap, Gavitec, and BSD could depend on the ability of NeoMedia's executive management to integrate the business plan of each company with NeoMedia's overall business plan. Failure to properly integrate the business could have a material adverse effect on the expected revenue and operations of the acquisitions, as well as the expected return on investment for NeoMedia. NeoMedia May Be Unable To Protect Its Intellectual Property Rights And May Be Liable For Infringing The Intellectual Property Rights Of Others NeoMedia's success in the physical-world-to-Internet market is dependent upon its proprietary technology, including patents and other intellectual property, and on the ability to protect proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights. In addition, NeoMedia must conduct its operations without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. NeoMedia also intends to rely upon unpatented trade secrets and the know-how and expertise of its employees, as well as its patents. To protect its proprietary technology and other intellectual property, NeoMedia relies primarily on a combination of the protections provided by applicable patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws as well as on confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements. Although NeoMedia believes that it has taken appropriate steps to protect its unpatented proprietary rights, including requiring that its employees and third parties who are granted access to NeoMedia's proprietary technology enter into confidentiality agreements, NeoMedia can provide no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to protect its rights against third parties. Others may independently develop or otherwise acquire patented or unpatented technologies or products similar or superior to NeoMedia's. NeoMedia licenses from third parties certain software tools that are included in NeoMedia's services and products. If any of these licenses were terminated, NeoMedia could be required to seek licenses for similar software from other third parties or develop these tools internally. NeoMedia may not be able to obtain such licenses or develop such tools in a timely fashion, on acceptable terms, or at all. Companies participating in the software and Internet technology industries are frequently involved in disputes relating to intellectual property. NeoMedia may in the future be required to defend its intellectual property rights against infringement, duplication, discovery, and misappropriation by third parties or to defend against third party claims of infringement. Likewise, disputes may arise in the future with respect to ownership of technology developed by employees who were previously employed by other companies. Any such litigation or disputes could result in substantial costs to, and a diversion of effort by, NeoMedia. An adverse determination could subject NeoMedia to significant liabilities to third parties, require NeoMedia to seek licenses from, or pay royalties to, third parties, or require NeoMedia to develop appropriate alternative technology. Some or all of these licenses may not be available to NeoMedia on acceptable terms or at all, and NeoMedia may be unable to develop alternate technology at an acceptable price or at all. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. 8 NeoMedia Is Exposed To Product Liability Claims And An Uninsured Claim Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On NeoMedia's Business, Prospects, Financial Condition, And Results Of Operations, As Well As The Value Of NeoMedia's Stock Many of NeoMedia's projects are critical to the operations of its clients' businesses. Any failure in a client's information system could result in a claim for substantial damages against NeoMedia, regardless of NeoMedia's responsibility for such failure. NeoMedia could, therefore, be subject to claims in connection with the products and services that it sells. NeoMedia currently maintains product liability insurance. There can be no assurance that: o NeoMedia has contractually limited its liability for such claims adequately or at all; or o NeoMedia would have sufficient resources to satisfy any liability resulting from any such claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against NeoMedia could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. NeoMedia Will Not Pay Cash Dividends And Investors May Have To Sell Their Shares In Order To Realize Their Investment NeoMedia has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. NeoMedia intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and marketing of NeoMedia's products and services. As a result, investors may have to sell their shares of common stock to realize their investment. Some Provisions Of NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation And bylaws May Deter Takeover Attempts, Which May Limit The Opportunity Of NeoMedia's Stockholders To Sell Their Shares At A Premium To The Then-Current Market Price Some of the provisions of NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire NeoMedia, even if doing so might be beneficial to NeoMedia's stockholders by providing them with the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium to the then-current market price. On December 10, 1999, NeoMedia's Board of Directors adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a non-taxable dividend of one right to acquire Series A Preferred Stock of NeoMedia, par value $0.01 per share, on each outstanding share of NeoMedia's common stock to stockholders of record on December 10, 1999 and each share of common stock issued thereafter until a pre-defined hostile takeover date. The stockholder rights plan was adopted as an anti-takeover measure, commonly referred to as a "poison pill." The stockholder rights plan was designed to enable all stockholders not engaged in a hostile takeover attempt to receive fair and equal treatment in any proposed takeover of NeoMedia and to guard against partial or two-tiered tender offers, open market accumulations, and other hostile tactics to gain control of NeoMedia. The stockholders rights plan was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of NeoMedia at the time of adoption. This stockholders rights plan may have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, discouraging, preventing, or rendering more costly an acquisition of NeoMedia or a change in control of NeoMedia. Certain of NeoMedia's directors, officers and principal stockholders, Charles W. Fritz, William E. Fritz and The Fritz Family Limited Partnership and their holdings were exempted from the triggering provisions of NeoMedia's "poison pill" plan, as a result of the fact that, as of the plan's adoption, their holdings might have otherwise triggered the "poison pill". In addition, NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to designate and issue preferred stock, in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights, including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights, and sinking fund provisions. NeoMedia is authorized to issue a total of 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The issuance of any preferred stock could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of NeoMedia's common stock, and, therefore, could reduce the value of shares of NeoMedia's common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict NeoMedia's ability to merge with, or sell NeoMedia's assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, discouraging, preventing, or rendering more costly an acquisition of NeoMedia or a change in NeoMedia's control thereby preserving control by the current stockholders. 9 Risks Relating To NeoMedia's Industry The Security Of The Internet Poses Risks To The Success Of NeoMedia's Entire Business Concerns over the security of the Internet and other electronic transactions, and the privacy of consumers and merchants, may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions, which may have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet business. NeoMedia Will Only Be Able To Execute Its Physical-World-To-Internet Business Plan If Internet Usage and Electronic Commerce Continue To Grow NeoMedia's future revenues and any future profits are substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones. If use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, or if the infrastructure for the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones does not effectively support the growth that may occur, or does not become a viable commercial marketplace, NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet business, and therefore NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, could be materially adversely affected. Rapid growth in the use of, and interest in, the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones is a recent phenomenon, and may not continue on a lasting basis. In addition, customers may not adopt, and continue to use mobile telephones as a medium of information retrieval or commerce. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services and products over the mobile Internet are subject to a high level of uncertainty, and few services and products have generated profits. For NeoMedia to be successful, consumers and businesses must be willing to accept and use novel and cost efficient ways of conducting business and exchanging information. In addition, the public in general may not accept the use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones as a viable commercial or information marketplace for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that mobile phone Internet usage continues to experience significant growth in the number of users, their frequency of use, or in their bandwidth requirements, the infrastructure for the mobile Internet may be unable to support the demands placed upon them. In addition, the mobile Internet and mobile interactivity could lose its viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of mobile Internet activity, or due to increased governmental regulation. Significant issues concerning the commercial and informational use of the mobile Internet, and online networks technologies, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use, and quality of service, remain unresolved and may inhibit the growth of Internet business solutions that utilize these technologies. Changes in, or insufficient availability of, telecommunications services to support the Internet, the Web or other online services also could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet, the Web and other online networks generally and NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet product and networks in particular. NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Adapt As The Internet, Physical-World-To-Internet, And Customer Demands Continue To Evolve NeoMedia may not be able to adapt as the mobile Internet and physical-world-to-Internet markets and consumer demands continue to evolve. NeoMedia's failure to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The mobile Internet and physical-world-to-Internet markets are characterized by: o rapid technological change; o changes in user and customer requirements and preferences; o frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies; and o the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render proprietary technology and hardware and software infrastructure obsolete. NeoMedia's success will depend, in part, on its ability to: o enhance and improve the responsiveness and functionality of its products and services; 10 o license or develop technologies useful in its business on a timely basis; o enhance its existing services, and develop new services and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of NeoMedia's prospective or current customers; and o respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Its Competitors Have More Resources While the market for physical-world-to-Internet technology is relatively new, it is already highly competitive and characterized by an increasing number of entrants that have introduced or developed products and services similar to those offered by NeoMedia. NeoMedia believes that competition will intensify and increase in the near future. NeoMedia's target market is rapidly evolving and is subject to continuous technological change. As a result, NeoMedia's competitors may be better positioned to address these developments or may react more favorably to these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Some of NeoMedia's competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than NeoMedia. NeoMedia may not successfully compete in any market in which it conducts or may conduct operations. NeoMedia may not be able to penetrate markets or market its products as effectively as NeoMedia's better-funded more-established competitors. In The Future There Could Be Government Regulations And Legal Uncertainties Which Could Harm NeoMedia's Business Any new legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to NeoMedia's business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and other online services, could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, the Web and other online services, federal, state, and local governments may adopt laws and regulations, or amend existing laws and regulations, with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues such as taxation, user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of products and services. The growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws to impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, the Web or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for NeoMedia's services and increase NeoMedia's cost of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the relevant governmental authorities have not resolved the applicability to the Internet, the Web and other online services of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership and personal privacy and it may take time to resolve these issues definitively. Certain of NeoMedia's proprietary technology allows for the storage of demographic data from NeoMedia's users. In 2000, the European Union adopted a directive addressing data privacy that may limit the collection and use of certain information regarding Internet users. This directive may limit NeoMedia's ability to collect and use information collected by NeoMedia's technology in certain European countries. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and several state governments have investigated the use by certain Internet companies of personal information. NeoMedia could incur significant additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are introduced or if NeoMedia's privacy practices are investigated. 11 Risks Specific To This Offering As of November 24, 2006, we had 630,296,966 shares of common stock outstanding, and options and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 390,376,761 shares of common stock. During February 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners $22,000,000 of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock that is convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of (i) 97% of the lowest closing bid prices of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, or (ii) $0.50 per share. During August 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners a $5,000,000 Secured Convertible Debenture that is convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of (i) 90% of the lowest closing bid prices of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, or (ii) $0.15 per share. Up to 335,000,000 common shares underlying the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and an additional 76,277,650 common shares underlying the Secured Convertible Debenture are being registered hereunder. On March 30, 2005, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, whereby Cornell Capital Partners agreed to purchase up to $100 million of our common stock over a two-year period, with the timing and amount of the purchase at our discretion. No shares underlying the 2005 Standby Equity Distribution Agreement are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution When Certain Investors Convert Their Preferred Stock or Convertible Debentures to Common Stock, or When the Investors Exercise Their Warrants and Receive Shares Of Common Stock Under the Investment Agreement with the Investors The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or Secured Convertible Debentures pursuant to our transactions with Cornell Capital Partners and the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income or loss per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue pursuant to the conversion of our preferred stock. If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. The Market Price Of Our Securities May Be Volatile As a result of the emerging and evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result of which quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarters, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. An investor should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others: o the ability to retain existing clients and customers; o the ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate; o the ability to maintain client satisfaction; o the ability to motivate potential clients and customers to acquire and implement new technologies; o the extent to which our products gain market acceptance; o the timing and size of client and customer purchases; o introductions of products and services by competitors; o price competition in the markets in which we compete; o the pricing of hardware and software that we resell or integrate into our products; 12 o the level of use of the mobile Internet and online services, as well as the rate of market acceptance of physical-world-to-Internet marketing; o the ability to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure in a timely and effective manner; o the ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management, strategic, technical, and creative professionals; o the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; o unanticipated technical, legal, and regulatory difficulties with respect to use of the Internet; and o general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to Internet technology usage and electronic commerce. Our common stock has traded as low as $0.01 and as high as $0.722 between January 1, 2003 and November 24, 2006. Since February 9, 2006, NeoMedia's stock has been subject to dramatic price volatility. Between February 9, 2006 and November 24, 2006, NeoMedia's stock has traded as low as $0.06 per share and as high as $0.42 per share. From time to time after this offering, the market price of our common stock may experience significant volatility. Our quarterly results, failure to meet analysts' expectations, announcements by us or our competitors regarding acquisitions or dispositions, loss of existing clients, new procedures or technology, changes in general conditions in the economy, and general market conditions could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These price and volume fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. You May Suffer Significant Additional Dilution If Outstanding Options And Warrants Are Exercised As of November 24, 2006, we had outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 390,376,761 shares of common stock, some of which have exercise prices at or below the price of our common shares on the public market. To the extent such options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution. In addition, in the event that any future financing should be in the form of, be convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities, and upon the exercise of options and warrants, investors may experience additional dilution. 13 Future Sales Of Common Stock By Our Stockholders Could Adversely Affect Our Stock Price And Our Ability To Raise Funds In New Stock Offerings The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market as a result of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. The potential aggregate dilutive effect on stockholders of financing and acquisition arrangements in place as of the date of this filing, assuming various stock prices at the time of the transactions, are as follows:

(1) Outstanding options and warrants include 260 million warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners that were issued in connection with the Series C convertible preferred stock and convertible debenture financings. These warrants are not included in the pro forma share calculation for conversion of convertible preferred shares or the convertible debenture shares, or for the draw-down of $100 million SEDA balance. (2) Convertible preferred shares convert into common shares at 97% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30-day period prior to conversion. (3) Convertible debenture shares convert into common shares at 90% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30-day period prior to conversion. (4) This table reflects the number of shares that would be issued to satisfy current financing and acquisition transactions to which NeoMedia is a party at different prices of NeoMedia stock at the time the transaction is effected. The last sale price of NeoMedia common stock on November 24, 2006 was $0.063. Amounts are shown for pro forma informational purposes only. Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. All 630,296,966 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 24, 2006, are, or upon effectiveness of this registration statement will be, freely tradable without restriction, unless held by our "affiliates." 14 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management's plans and objectives for future operations including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this Prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under "About NeoMedia Technologies, Inc." as well as in this Prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in this Prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will in fact occur. The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change in conditions in our business, that demand for our products will significantly increase, that our executive officers will remain employed as such, that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business or in governmental regulations affecting us or our manufacturers and/or suppliers. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the "Risk Factors" section of this Prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Growth in absolute and relative amounts of cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this Prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. Some of the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statement in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a "forward-looking statement" Further, when we use the words " may", "expect", "anticipate", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "internal", and similar words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward-looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed below. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described under "Risk Factors" below or elsewhere in this Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In such a case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. 15 USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling securityholders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants held by the selling security holders. For illustrative purposes, we have set forth below our intended use of proceeds for the net proceeds to be received upon exercise of warrants being registered hereunder. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $50,000.

(1) A significant portion of the potential proceeds relate to warrants that were not in-the-money based on a stock price of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006. As a result, for informational purposes we have shown the total proceeds from warrants that were in-the-money as of November 24, 2006. It is important to note that the warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners contain a provision that, if at the time of exercise, the shares underlying the warrant are not subject to an effective registration statement or if NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a "cashless" exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a "cashless" exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. NeoMedia expects to use any proceeds from warrant exercises for general working capital purposes, or in the event it is required, to meet obligations arising from the purchase price guarantees relating to 12Snap and Gavitec and the silent partner agreements of 12Snap. 16 DILUTION NeoMedia's net tangible book value as of September 30, 2006 was $(6,280,000) or $(0.0096) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the tangible book value of NeoMedia (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Our net tangible book value will be impacted by the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Secured Convertible Debenture, as well as upon conversion of warrants for which the underlying shares are being registered hereunder. Because the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Secured Convertible Debenture convert at a discount to the market price of NeoMedia stock at the time of conversion, the amount of dilution will depend on NeoMedia's share price at the time that the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or the Secured Convertible Debenture are converted. In addition, we expect that certain warrants being registered hereunder will not be exercised if the market price of our common stock is less than the exercise price of the warrants. The following example shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $0.10 per share (net of 3% discount to Cornell Capital Partners). If we assume that Cornell Capital Partners had converted all 22,000 of its Series C Convertible Preferred shares and its Secured Convertible Debenture at an assumed offering price of $0.10 per share (net of 3% and 10% discount to Cornell Capital Partners relative to the Series C Convertible Preferred shares and its Secured Convertible Debenture, respectively), and all in-the-money warrants being registered hereunder were converted, less offering expenses of $50,000, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2006 would have been ($725,000) or ($0.0007) per share. Such an offering would represent an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.0089 per share and an immediate dilution to new stockholders of $0.1007 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution: Assumed public offering price per share $0.1000 Net tangible book value per share before this offering ($0.0096) Increase attributable to new investors $0.0089 -------- Net tangible book value per share after this offering ($0.0007) Dilution per share to new stockholders $0.1007 -------- The offering price of our common stock is based on the then-existing market price. In order to give prospective investors an idea of the dilution per share they may experience, we have prepared the following table showing the dilution per share at various assumed offering prices: Assumed Dilution per Offering No. of Shares Share to Price to Be Issued (1) New Investors - -------- ---------------- ------------- $0.20 318,589,099 $0.1864 $0.15 306,389,786 $0.1440 $0.10 336,409,680 $0.1007 $0.05 567,269,358 $0.0526 - ---------- (1) Represents the number of shares of common stock that would be issued at the given market price, assuming (i) the entire $22 million Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding is converted at a price equal to 97% of the applicable price, (ii) the entire $5 million Convertible Debenture is converted at a price equal to 90% of the applicable price, and (iii) all in-the-money warrants being registered hereunder are converted at their respective exercise price. 17 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholders.

- ---------- * Indicates less than 1%. (1) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 630,296,966 shares of common stock outstanding as of November 24, 2006, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of November 24, 2006, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of November 24, 2006, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The common stock is the only outstanding class of equity securities of NeoMedia. (2) Cornell Capital Partners, LP holds (i) 22,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 97% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.50; (ii) $5,000,000 face value secured convertible debenture that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 90% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.15; (iii) warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share; (iv) warrants to purchase up to 60,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share; (v) warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share, (vi) warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and (vii) warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The Series C convertible preferred stock, the convertible debenture, and certain of the warrant agreements contain provisions whereby Cornell Capital Partners may not own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of NeoMedia, and beneficial ownership is therefore limited to 4.99% of NeoMedia's outstanding shares.

Pursuant to the Series C Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock to be fully converted three (3) years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $22,000,000, consisting of cash of $14,066,000, marketable securities with a purchase value of $2,000,000, commitment and structuring fees paid to the Purchaser in the amount of $2,725,000, and the extinguishment of $3,209,000 of preexisting indebtedness owed by us to the Purchasers. The marketable securities received consisted of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Pickups Plus, Inc. ("PUPS") and various promissory notes payable by PUPS to the holder with a face value of $1,365,000. The aggregate fair value of the PUPS common shares and notes was determined to be $579,000 as of February 17, 2006. NeoMedia was previously party to a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a subsidiary of PUPS for a combination of cash and stock. NeoMedia's Micro Paint Repair business unit (currently subject to a pending sale) also acts as a distributor for certain of PUPS' products in China. The Series C Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The Series C Agreement also called for the purchasers to acquire an additional $5,000,000 of Series C convertible preferred stock on the date a registration statement filed by us was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The requirement to fund this additional $5,000,000 was subsequently waived in connection with a secured convertible debenture entered into between us and the purchaser in August 2006. In connection with the Series C Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers that requires us to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness by December 1, 2006, and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require us to incur liquidating damages amounting to 1% of the outstanding amount of Series C preferred stock per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidating damages exceed $1,200,000. On February 17, 2006, we issued the Purchasers $22,000,000 in aggregate amount of such 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock. At any time from the closing date until February 17, 2009, the Purchasers have the right to convert the preferred stock, in whole or in part, into our common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to our trading stock price, as follows: $0.50 per share, or 97% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The limitation will terminate under any event of default. The Series C convertible preferred stock, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchasers anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the Series C preferred stock instruments are outstanding, we offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible preferred stock shares shall be reduced to the lower price. In case of any such adjustment in the effective conversion price for the convertible preferred shares, this could significantly dilute existing investors. Under the Series C Agreement, the Purchasers also received "A" warrants, "B" warrants and "C" warrants to purchase 20,000,000, 25,000,000, and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, exercisable in three separate traunches at a price of $0.50, $0.40 and $0.35, respectively, per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. As an inducement to enter into subsequent financing arrangements related to Cornell Debentures, the warrants were repriced on August 24, 2006 to $0.10, $0.15, and $0.10, respectively, subject to all the original terms and conditions of the respective warrant agreements. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. All 75,000,000 of these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder. It is important to note that the warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners contain a provision that, if at the time of exercise, the shares underlying the warrant are not subject to an effective registration statement or if NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a "cashless" exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a "cashless" exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. 21 The fair value of net proceeds received by NeoMedia in the transaction was $17,854,000, and the balance of $4,146,000 was afforded to the Purchasers as a discount. The discount afforded to the Purchasers, including the fair value of warrants granted, is substantial and could have a negative effect on current and future stockholders due to additional dilution shareholders may experience if and when the Purchasers exercise such warrants. The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock contains consequences in case of an event of default. Events of default which could subject the Company to penalties and liabilities as specified in the Series C Agreement include: o Any case or action of bankruptcy or insolvency commenced by us or any subsidiary, against us or adjudicated by a court against us for the benefit of creditors; o Any default in our obligations under a mortgage or debt in excess of $100,000; o Any cessation in the eligibility of our stock to be quoted on a trading market; o Failure to timely file the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, or failure to make the registration statement effective timely. o Any lapse in the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, the warrants as described and transacted in the Series C Agreement and accompanying documents; o Any failure to deliver certificates within the specified time; and o Any failure by us to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a buy-in or failure to pay any amounts owed on account on account of an event of default within 10 days of the date due. Other provisions included in the Series C Agreement include the following: o The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible into common stock, at the option of the Purchaser, at any time after the effective date. o Conversions can be made in increments and from time to time. o The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock has voting rights on an "as converted" basis, meaning the Purchaser is entitled to vote the number of shares of common stock into which the 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock was convertible as of the record date for a meeting of shareholders o As promptly as practicable after any conversion date, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing the converted shares, free of any legends and trading restrictions for the number of shares converted; o We will reserve and keep available authorized and unissued registered shares available to be issued upon conversion; o Purchaser will not be responsible for any transfer taxes relative to issuance of shares; o If we offer, sell or grant stock at an effective per share price less than the then Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the effective conversion, exchange or purchase price for such common stock or common stock equivalents; We filed the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option beyond the date stipulated in the investor registration rights agreement. As such, we accrued $161,000 of liquidated damages relating to the Series C convertible stock during the three months ended September 30, 2006. 22 Secured Convertible Debenture We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 24, 2006, (the "Debenture Agreement") with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000. The Debenture Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In connection with the Debenture Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers that requires us to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness within a stated period and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require us to incur liquidating damages amounting to 2% of the principal per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidating damages exceed $1,000,000. The debentures are secured by substantially all of our assets. On August 24, 2006, we issued the Purchasers $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such convertible debentures. At any time from the closing date until August 24, 2008, the Purchasers have the right to convert the convertible debenture into our common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to our trading stock price, as follows: $0.15 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The limitation will terminate under any event of default. The convertible debenture, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchasers anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the convertible debenture is outstanding, we offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible debenture shall be reduced to the lower price. In case of any such adjustment in the effective conversion price for the convertible debenture, this could significantly dilute existing investors. Under the Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers also received "A" warrants, "B" warrants, "C" warrants and "D" warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 175,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable in four separate traunches at a price of $0.15, $0.25, $0.20 and $0.05 respectively per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. All 175,000,000 of these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder. Additionally, effective as of September 8, 2006, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate all further obligations of Cornell Capital Partners to fund an additional $5,000,000 in the form of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Series C Agreement dated February 17, 2006. 23 Standby Equity Distribution Agreements On February 11, 2003, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into an Equity Line of Credit Agreement under which Cornell Capital Partners agreed to purchase up to $10 million of NeoMedia's common stock over a two-year period, with the timing and amount of the purchase at the Company's discretion. The maximum amount of each purchase was $150,000 with a minimum of seven days between purchases. The shares were valued at 98% of the lowest closing bid price during the five-day period following the delivery of a notice of purchase by NeoMedia. The Company paid 5% of the gross proceeds of each purchase to Cornell Capital Partners. On October 27, 2003, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into a $20 million Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the "2003 SEDA"). The agreement provides for a maximum "draw" of $280,000 per week, not to exceed $840,000 in any 30-day period, and Cornell Capital Partners will purchase up to $20 million of our common stock over a two-year period. The SEDA became effective during January 2004, and expired after a two-year term in January 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we sold 751,880 and 14,257,025 shares of our common stock to Cornell Capital Partners pursuant to the 2003 SEDA. The following table summarizes funding received from Cornell Capital Partners during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003:
Nine Months Ended September 30, Years Ended December 31, ---------------------- ---------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2005 2004 2003 -------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Number of shares sold to Cornell 751,880 19,337,119 26,435,512 112,743,417 98,933,244 Gross Proceeds from sale of shares to Cornell $234,000 $ 7,058,000 $ 9,527,000 $ 10,123,000 $ 9,565,000 Less: discounts and fees* (24,000) (863,000) (1,022,000) (1,967,000) (6,772,000) Net Proceeds from sale of shares to Cornell $210,000 $ 6,195,000 $ 8,505,000 $ 8,156,000 $ 2,793,000
* Pursuant to the terms of the 2003 SEDA, stock is valued at 98% of the lowest closing bid price during the week it was sold. On March 30, 2005, NeoMedia and Cornell entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the "2005 SEDA") under which Cornell agreed to purchase up to $100 million of NeoMedia common stock over a two-year period, with the timing and amount of the purchase at NeoMedia's discretion. The maximum amount of each purchase would be $2,000,000 with a minimum of five business days between advances. The shares would be valued at 98% of the lowest closing bid price during the five-day period following the delivery of a notice of purchase by NeoMedia, and NeoMedia would pay 5% of the gross proceeds of each purchase to Cornell. Based on NeoMedia's current market capitalization and other outstanding securities, NeoMedia does not believe that the 2005 SEDA is currently a viable source of financing. As a commitment fee for Cornell to enter into the 2005 SEDA, NeoMedia issued 50 million warrants to Cornell with an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a term of three (3) years, and also paid a cash commitment fee of $1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Cornell exercised 40 million of the warrants, generating cash proceeds of $8 million to NeoMedia. During August 2006, in connection with the Convertible Debenture, NeoMedia repriced the remaining 10 million warrants to an exercise price of $0.10 per share. These remaining 10 million warrants are being registered for resale hereunder. NeoMedia also issued 4 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.227 to a consultant as a fee in connection with the 2005 SEDA, which have not been exercised. NeoMedia recorded the $13,256,000 fair value of the warrants to "Deferred equity financing costs" at inception. This amount was written off during the three months ended September 30, 2006 because the Company believes that it can no longer consider the SEDA a viable financing source due to the utilization of the preferred stock financing and the debenture financing. 24 Promissory Notes Payable to Cornell Capital Partners On May 27, 2003, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $245,000 before discounts and fees. The note was repaid in full during 2003. On June 24, 2003, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $400,000 before discounts and fees. The note was repaid in full during 2003.

The note was repaid in full during 2003. On January 20, 2004, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $4,000,000 before discounts and fees. Of the $4,000,000 funding, $2,500,000 was used to fund the acquisition of CSI International, Inc. during February 2004. Cornell Capital Partners withheld a $315,000 retention fee related to the issuance of stock to pay off the debt in the future. We paid this note in full during 2004. We also granted to Cornell Capital Partners 40,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of our stock with an exercise price of $0.05 per share during January 2004. In April 2004, we filed a Form SB-2 to register 40 million shares underlying warrants granted to Cornell Capital Partners (and subsequently transferred by Cornell Capital Partners to Stone Street Asset Management LLC) in connection with a promissory note issued by the Company to Cornell Capital Partners. In May 2004, the Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $5,000,000. In accordance with APB 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants", we have compared the relative fair values of the warrants and the face value of the notes, and has allocated a value of $2.5 million to the warrants. Of the $2.5 million, $2 million was allocated to the $4 million note issued in January 2004 and $0.5 million against the $1 million note in April 2004. The $2.5 million was recorded as a discount against the carrying value of the note. The $2.5 million that was allocated to the notes is considered a discount on the promissory notes, and therefore was amortized over the life of the notes using the effective interest method, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 77, Topic 2.A.6, "Debt Issue Costs" of SFAS 141, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, we recorded an amortization of discount of $2,500,000 related to the warrants during the year ended December31, 2004. Stone Street Asset Management LLC exercised the warrants during November 2004, resulting in net funds to us of $2 million. On April 8, 2004, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $1,000,000 before discounts and fees.

The note accrued interest at 8% per annum on any unpaid principal and was secured by all of our assets other than patents and patent application. We paid this note in full during the first quarter of 2006. Thornhill Capital On September 3, 2003, we issued 10 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 to Thornhill as a fee for negotiating and structuring the 2003 SEDA, of which 1 million were exercised in 2004 and 9 million during 2006. On January 29, 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with Thornhill Capital LLP that pays Thornhill $15,000 per month for assistance in connection with potential acquisitions transactions, and corporate strategy planning. The contract has a term of two years and automatically renews for successive one-year periods if not cancelled by either party.

Former Shareholders of Gavitec AG On February 17, 2006, NeoMedia and Gavitec signed a definitive sale and purchase agreement, subject to closing conditions, under which NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of Gavitec in exchange for $1,800,000 cash and 13,660,511 shares of NeoMedia common stock, being registered hereunder. On February 23, 2006, NeoMedia and Gavitec completed the closing requirements and the acquisition became effective. In the event that NeoMedia's stock price at the time the consideration shares are saleable is less than $0.389, NeoMedia is obligated to compensate Gavitec shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.389. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $4.5 million resulting from this clause. Former Shareholders of 12Snap AG On February 10, 2006, NeoMedia and 12Snap signed a definitive sale and purchase agreement, subject to closing conditions, under which NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of 12Snap in exchange for $2,500,000 cash and 49,294,581 shares of NeoMedia common stock, being registered hereunder. On February 28, 2006, NeoMedia and 12Snap completed the closing requirements and the acquisition became effective. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the number of shares of NeoMedia common stock to be issued as consideration was calculated using a share price of $0.3956. In the event that NeoMedia's stock price at the time the consideration shares are saleable is less than $0.3956, NeoMedia is obligated to compensate 12Snap shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.3956. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $16.4 million resulting from this clause. Prior to the acquisition of 12Snap by NeoMedia, 12Snap entered into three silent partnership arrangements with principal borrowing amounts totaling EUR 3,500,000 (approximately $4.2 million as of February 28, 2006, the date of closing of the acquisition of 12Snap by NeoMedia). Silent partnerships are a common form of investment in Germany. The purpose of a silent partnership was to financially support the company in its efforts to research, design and develop its product and services, while allowing the lenders not to become a legal owner of the company and thus not become liable for the obligation of the company. The lenders are not involved in the management of 12Snap, but significant business decisions such as changes in the articles of incorporation, mergers and acquisitions or significant contractual matters are subject to their approval. 26 The partnership agreements were scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2008 and 2009. However, due to the acquisition of all shares of 12Snap by NeoMedia, an early termination has been agreed on for all silent partnership agreements. Those silent partnerships have thus terminated as of February 28, 2006. According to the termination agreements EUR 1,750,000 (approximately $2.1 million at the time of payment in March 2006) were repaid to the silent partners in March 2006. Another installment amounting to EUR 1,750,000 (approximately $2.1 million as of September 30, 2006) plus interest will be due as of December 31, 2006. In addition, one of the silent partners initiated arbitration proceedings during 2006 claiming the amount of EUR 353,000 (approximately $443,000 as of September 30, 2006) plus interest of 5% per annum since March 1, 2006 arising out of a change in control clause of the silent partnership agreement. The matter was subject to German arbitration proceedings, and the parties settled under the condition that 12Snap pay EUR 240,000 (approximately $320,000 as of the date hereof), of which EUR 120,000 (approximately $160,000 as of the date hereof) was due and paid by October 31, 2006 and EUR 120,000 (approximately $160,000 as of the date hereof) is due by December 31, 2006. Former Debtholders of BSD Software, Inc. On March 21, 2006, NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of BSD Software, Inc. Subsequent to the acquisition, NeoMedia retired debt owed by BSD to Guy Fietz, the former CEO of BSD and current Vice President and General Manager of the NeoMedia Telecom Services business unit, and Wayside Solutions, a shareholder in BSD. NeoMedia retired the debt through issuance of 1,512,093 shares of common stock to Guy Fietz and 3,721,698 shares to Wayside Solutions. 27 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the OTC Bulletin Board or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the OTC Bulletin Board or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000. The offering expenses consist of: printing and engraving expenses of $5,000, accounting fees of $20,000, legal fees of $20,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $5,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive the exercise price upon exercise of warrants for which the underlying shares are being registered hereunder. If all warrants being registered hereunder were exercised, we would receive proceeds of $40,565,700 (net of registration fees). However, the exercise price of a significant number of the warrants is higher than the current stock price. If only in-the-money warrants were exercised, we would receive proceeds of $2,551,500 (net of registration fees). The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 28 DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws is a summary. For additional information, please refer to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws. Common Stock On June 28, 2006, our shareholders voted to increase our number of shares of authorized common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from 1,000,000,000 to 5,000,000,000. As of November 24, 2006, 630,296,966 common shares were outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than one half of our outstanding shares of common stock, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, can elect all of our directors, if they choose to do so. In this event, the holders of the remaining shares of common stock would not be able to elect any directors. Subject to the prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably, dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. The outstanding common stock is duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. In the event we were to elect to sell additional shares of common stock following this offering, investors in this offering would have no right to purchase additional shares. As a result, their percentage equity interest in us would be diluted. Except as otherwise permitted by Delaware law, and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, all stockholder action is taken by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted as a single class present at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum consisting of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is present in person or proxy. Preferred Stock NeoMedia is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company may issue preferred stock in one or more series and having the rights, privileges, and limitations, including voting rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rights and preferences and redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board of Directors. Preferred stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings, or other matters, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In the event that the Company determines to issue any shares of preferred stock, a certificate of designation containing the rights, privileges, and limitations of this series of preferred stock shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The effect of this preferred stock designation power is that the Board of Directors alone, subject to Federal securities laws, applicable blue sky laws, and Delaware law, may be able to authorize the issuance of preferred stock which could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of NeoMedia without further action by its stockholders, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the Company's common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Company's common stock, including the loss of voting control to others. Series A Preferred Stock. During December 1999, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Resolutions Designating Rights and Preferences of Preferred Stock, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 20, 1999. By this approval and filing, 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were designated. Series A Preferred carries the following rights: o The right to receive mandatory cash dividends equal to the greater of $0.001 per share or 100 times the amount of all dividends (cash or non-cash, other than dividends of shares of common stock) paid to holders of the common stock, which dividend is payable 30 days after the conclusion of each calendar quarter and immediately following the declaration of a dividend on common stock; o One hundred votes per each share of Series A Preferred on each matter submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders; 29 o The right to elect two directors at any meeting at which directors are to be elected, and to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors previously filled by a director appointed by the Series A Preferred holders; o The right to receive an amount, in preference to the holders of common stock, equal to the amount per share payable to holders of common stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, and following payment of 1/100th of this liquidation preference to the holders of each share of common stock, an additional amount per share equal to 100 times the per share amount paid to the holders of common stock. o The right to exchange each share of Series A Preferred for 100 times the consideration received per share of common stock in connection with any merger, consolidation, combination or other transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other property. o The right to be redeemed in accordance with the Company's stockholders rights plan. While accrued mandatory dividends are unpaid, we may not declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, repurchase or reacquire, shares of any class or series of junior or parity stock. The Series A Preferred was created in connection with the Company's stockholders rights plan. No shares of Series A Preferred were outstanding as of November 24, 2006. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On June 19, 2001, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designations to create 500,000 shares of a Class of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 20, 2001. By this approval and filing, 47,511 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and remain to be issued.. The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, has the following rights: o Series A Convertible Preferred is convertible into shares of common stock at a one-to-one ratio, subject to proportional adjustments in the event of stock splits or combinations, and dividends or distributions of shares of common stock, at the option of the holder; shares are subject to automatic conversion as determined in each agreement relating to the purchase of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred; o Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred is entitled to receive a liquidation preference equal to the original purchase price of such share in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; o Upon merger or consolidation, or the sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, shares of Series A Convertible Preferred are automatically convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the common stock into which it is convertible would have been entitled; o Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred are entitled to one vote per share, and vote together with holders of common stock. In June 2001, 452,489 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred were issued to About.com, Inc. pursuant to a certain Agreement for Payment in Common Stock, in lieu of cash payment to About.com for online advertising services. On January 2, 2002, such shares were converted into 452,489 shares of common stock. Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. On January 16, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B 12% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 28, 2002. By this approval and filing, 100,000 shares were designated as Series B 12% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock.

No shares of the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock have been issued or are currently outstanding. Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 22, 2006, NeoMedia filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. By the approval and filing, 27,000 shares were designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

We have no present agreements relating to or requiring the designation or issuance of additional shares of preferred stock. 31 Warrants And Options As of November 24, 2006, we had outstanding options and warrants to purchase 116,051,761 and 274,325,000 shares of NeoMedia's common stock, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $0.01 to $6.00. The number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise prices of the warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of certain events such as stock dividends, splits and combinations, capital reorganization and with respect to certain warrants, issuance of shares of common stock at prices below the then exercise price of the warrants. On March 30, 2005, NeoMedia issued 50 million warrants to Cornell Capital Partners with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and a term of three years, as a commitment fee for Cornell Capital Partners to enter into a $100 million Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with NeoMedia, of which 40 million were exercised. On February 17, 2006, in connection with the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock transaction, NeoMedia issued to Cornell Capital Partners 20 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, 25 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and 30 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share. On August 24, 2006, NeoMedia entered into a $5 million Secured Convertible Debenture arrangement with Cornell Capital Partners, pursuant to which NeoMedia repriced all outstanding warrants held by, and issued new warrants to, Cornell Capital Partners, as follows: Shares Original New Underlying Exercise Exercise Original Issue Date Warrant Price Price - ------------------- ---------- -------- -------- March 30, 2005 10,000,000 $0.20 $0.10 February 17, 2006 20,000,000 $0.50 $0.10 February 17, 2006 25,000,000 $0.40 $0.15 February 17, 2006 30,000,000 $0.35 $0.10 August 24, 2006 25,000,000 $0.15 n/a August 24, 2006 50,000,000 $0.25 n/a August 24, 2006 50,000,000 $0.20 n/a August 24, 2006 50,000,000 $0.05 n/a In addition to repricing the warrants held by Cornell prior to the $5 million Secured Convertible Debenture arrangement, NeoMedia also issued to Cornell Capital Partners new warrants as follows: 25 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 50 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, 50 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and 50 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share. On September 24, 2003, NeoMedia's shareholders approved the 2003 Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, NeoMedia is authorized to grant to employees, directors, and consultants up to 150,000,000 options to purchase shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2006, NeoMedia had issued approximately 153,000,000 options under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, of which approximately 26,000,000 had been exercised, and 10,000,000 had been forfeited and placed back into the pool of options available for grant. On December 16, 2005, NeoMedia's shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, NeoMedia is authorized to grant to employees, directors, and consultants up to 60,000,000 options to purchase shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2006, NeoMedia not had issued any options under the 2005 Stock Option Plan. Anti-Takeover Effects Of Provisions Of The Certificate Of Incorporation On December 10, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a non-taxable dividend of one right on each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record on December 10, 1999 and each share of common stock issued prior to the rights plan trigger date. The stockholder rights plan was adopted as an anti-takeover measure, commonly referred to as a "poison pill." The stockholder rights plan was designed to enable all stockholders to receive fair and equal treatment in any proposed takeover of the corporation and to guard against partial or two-tiered tender offers, open market accumulations and other hostile takeover tactics to gain control of NeoMedia. The stockholders rights plan, which is similar to plans adopted by many leading public companies, was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of NeoMedia at the time of adoption. Certain of the Company's directors, officers and principal stockholders, Charles W. Fritz, William E. Fritz and The Fritz Family Limited Partnership and their holdings were exempted from the triggering provisions of the Company's "poison pill" plan, as a result of the fact that, as of the plans adoption, their holdings might have otherwise triggered the "poison pill". 32 LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby as to their being fully paid, legally issued and non-assessable will be passed upon for NeoMedia by Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham LLP.

On February 17, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mobot in exchange for $3,500,000 cash and 16,931,493 shares of NeoMedia common stock, plus forgiveness of notes payable totaling $1,500,000 due from Mobot. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the number of shares of NeoMedia common stock that were issued as stock consideration was calculated using a share price of $0.3839, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the ten days up to and including February 8, 2006. The merger agreement with Mobot also contained a provision that, in the event that our stock price at the time the consideration shares become saleable is less than $0.3839, we would be obligated to compensate Mobot shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.3839. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.063, which was the last sale price on November 24, 2006, we would have had a cash liability of $5.4 million resulting from this clause. On December 6, 2006, NeoMedia and FMS Group, Inc. ("FMS"), a group consisting of former shareholders of Mobot, completed a transaction pursuant to which we divested of a material portion of our ownership interest in Mobot. The material terms of the transaction are as follows: o we transferred 100% of our ownership interest in Mobot to FMS, and in return received 18% ownership in FMS, which will operate the Mobot business; o All obligations under the original merger agreement, including the Purchase Price Guarantee Obligation, were terminated; o we contributed $67,000 cash to FMS at closing, and entered into a promissory note for an additional $200,000 payable to FMS at the earlier of the sale of our Micro Paint Repair business unit or December 31, 2006; o we received 16,931 preference shares in FMS that can be redeemed to reacquire the 16,931,493 original consideration shares originally issued to acquire Mobot. Each preference share can be redeemed for 1,000 shares of the NeoMedia common stock at our discretion within 15 months of the closing of this transaction. After 15 months, the preference shares can be redeemed upon a liquidation event of FMS, for either 1,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock each, or for the current cash equivalent of the shares, at FMS' discretion; o we entered into a license agreement with Mobot, pursuant to which we received a license to use the Mobot image recognition service for barcode-related applications. The license is exclusive in the Americas, Europe and Australia, restricted in Japan, Korea, and Singapore, and non-exclusive in other areas of the world. The exclusivity is subject to our meeting certain minimum transaction volume requirements or making minimum cash payments; and o we entered into a mutual release with each of the former Mobot shareholders in which the parties released each other from the terms of the original Mobot merger agreement, and the former Mobot shareholders consented to the release of the pending legal action against us. Separation of Sponge Ltd. On February 20, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Sponge in exchange for (i) approximately $6 million cash, (ii) 33,097,135 shares of NeoMedia common stock with a fair market value at the time of acquisition of approximately $13.1 million, and (iii) approximately $4.4 million contingent consideration in the form of NeoMedia common stock if, during the two-year period beginning at closing, the Sponge business earned in excess of approximately $2.3 million in net profits. Pursuant to the terms of the original merger agreement, the number of shares of NeoMedia common stock to be issued as consideration was calculated using a share price of $0.384, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the ten days up to and including February 8, 2006. The merger agreement stipulated that, in the event that our stock price at the time the consideration shares became saleable was less than $0.384, we would have been obligated to compensate Sponge shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares became saleable and $0.384. On November 14, 2006, NeoMedia and Sponge signed a definitive share purchase and settlement agreement, pursuant to which we divested of a material portion of our ownership interest in Sponge. The material terms of the share purchase and settlement agreement are as follows: (i) we returned 92.5% of our ownership interest in Sponge, retaining 7.5% ownership of Sponge, (ii) we relinquished our Board of Directors positions at Sponge, (iii) the 33,097,135 shares of NeoMedia common stock that were issued as consideration to acquire Sponge were returned to us and retired; (iv) all obligations under the original merger agreement, including the purchase price guarantee obligation, were terminated, and (v) Sponge returned $100,000 cash (net of attorney fees) to NeoMedia at closing and $150,000 cash to NeoMedia on March 7, 2007. 34 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock On February 17, 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners 8% cumulative Series C convertible perefrered stock with a face value of $22,000,000. At any time until February 17, 2009, the holders have the right to convert the preferred stock, in whole or in part, into NeoMedia common stock of at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the trading stock price, as follows: $0.50 per share, or 97% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Except in the event of a default, the conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. In connection with the Series C convertible perefrered stock, we issued to Cornell Capital Partners warrants to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: 20,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share, 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 per share, and 30,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The exercise prices of these warrants were subsequently repriced to $0.10, $0.15, and $0.10, respectively, in connection with a convertible debenture financing in August 2006. The fair value of net proceeds received by NeoMedia in the transaction was $17,854,000, and the balance of $4,146,000 was afforded to the Purchasers as a discount. The discount afforded the Purchasers, including the fair value of warrants granted, is substantial and could have a negative effect on current and future stockholders due to additional dilution shareholders may experience if and when the Purchasers exercise such warrants. Convertible Debenture On August 24, 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners LP 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance with a face value of $5,000,000. At any time until August 24, 2008, the holders have the right to convert the secured convertible debenture, in whole or in part, into NeoMedia common stock of at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the trading stock price, as follows: $0.15 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Except in the event of a default, the conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. In connection with the secured convertible debentures, we issued to Cornell warrants to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. In addition, NeoMedia repriced warrants perviously isseud to Cornell as follows: 10,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.20 to $0.10, 20,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.50 to $0.10, 25,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.40 to $0.15, and 30,000,000 warrants were repriced from $0.30 to $0.10. Lawsuit On June 8, 2006, Mark Freitas ("Plaintiff"), a former Mobot shareholder, filed a complaint in Massachusetts state court against NeoMedia alleging that NeoMedia breached the merger agreement between NeoMedia and Mobot by failing to file a registration statement with the SEC that included his shares by May 9, 2006. Plaintiff's complaint requested that the Court issue a preliminary injunction prohibiting NeoMedia from (1) causing its charter to be amended so as to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock in excess of one billion shares; (2) entering into any contract, agreement, or other undertaking in which NeoMedia shares are used as payment; (3) issuing a warrant or option to acquire NeoMedia common stock with an exercise price of less than $0.3839; and (4) filing a registration statement with the SEC that does not include the Mobot shareholder's shares. Plaintiff also seeks costs and attorney's fees. A hearing on the request for preliminary injunctive relief was held on June 21, 2006. During the hearing, Plaintiff changed his request for relief by asking that the Court enjoin NeoMedia from amending the Registration Statement it filed on June 21, 2006 to add any additional shares or from filing any further registration statements until the one filed on June 21, 2006 becomes effective. On June 26, 2006, the Court issued a Memorandum of Decision and Order on Plaintiff's Request for Preliminary Injunction and denied Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction. 35 On December 6, 2006, NeoMedia and FMS completed a transaction whereby NeoMedia transferred the majority of its ownership in Mobot to FMS, which is a group consisting of former Mobot shareholders. In connection with the transaction, the former Mobot shareholders entered into releases with NeoMedia in which the parties released each other from the terms of the original Mobot merger agreement, and the former Mobot shareholders consented to the release of this legal action against NeoMedia. Termination of Non-binding Letter of Intent to Acquire Hip Cricket, Inc. On August 24, 2006, NeoMedia terminated a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") to acquire HipCricket, Inc. ("HipCricket") of Essex, CT (www.hipcricket.com), due to an inability of the parties to come to terms on a definitive purchase price. On February 16, 2006, NeoMedia and Hip Cricket signed the LOI, under which NeoMedia intended to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Hip Cricket in exchange for $500,000 cash and $4,000,000 of NeoMedia common stock. The LOI was subject to due diligence and signing of a mutually agreeable definitive purchase agreement by both parties. In addition to signing the LOI, NeoMedia loaned HipCricket the principal amount of $500,000 in the form of a) a promissory note, dated February 16, 2006, in the amount of $250,000 and (b) that certain promissory note, dated March 20, 2006, in the amount of $250,000 (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The notes were to be applied toward the cash portion of the purchase price upon signing of a definitive purchase agreement for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of HipCricket by NeoMedia, as contemplated in the LOI. Due to the termination of the LOI, and pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the face amount of the Notes, plus any and all interest accrued thereon, will become payable and due within ninety (90) days from the date the Parties terminated negotiations on the definitive purchase agreement. In the event the Notes are not repaid within 90 days of the termination, NeoMedia has the right to convert the notes into shares of HipCricket common stock assuming a valuation of $4.5 million for HipCricket. Letter of Intent to Sell Micro Paint Repair Business Unit On August 30, 2006, NeoMedia signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell its Micro Paint Repair business unit to Jose Sada, a technology partner of NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair, backed by Global Emerging Markets Group ("GEM") of New York City. The letter of intent calls for execution of a definitive purchase agreement by October 27, 2006, with closing on or before November 24, 2006. The transaction has not been completed as of the date hereof. GEM is a $1.8B private investment group specializing in control, minority, and public market investing. Its activities are both domestic and international, spanning a diverse array of industries and transactional structures. GEM has offices in New York, London and Paris. 12Snap Arbitration Settlement During 2006, one of the silent partners of 12Snap initiated arbitration proceedings claiming the amount of EUR 353,000 (approximately $443,000 as of September 30, 2006) plus interest of 5% per annum since March 1, 2006 arising out of a change in control clause of the silent partnership agreement. The matter was subject to German arbitration proceedings, and the parties settled under the condition that 12Snap pay EUR 240,000 (approximately $320,000 as of the date hereof), of which EUR 120,000 (approximately $160,000 as of the date hereof) was due and paid by October 31, 2006 and EUR 120,000 (approximately $160,000 as of the date hereof) is due by December 31, 2006. 36 WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other documents with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), we have included in our Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to NeoMedia or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of NeoMedia and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of NeoMedia) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of NeoMedia or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws. The Certificate of Incorporation and the bylaws of NeoMedia provide that it is required and permitted to indemnify our officers and directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances. In addition, if permitted by law, we are required to advance expenses to our officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them in their capacity as a director or officer for which they may be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of NeoMedia in which indemnification would be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of NeoMedia pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

II-7 ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: (i) each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of a registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and (ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness and the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; II-8 (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provision described under Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise (other than insurance), the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it or them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-9 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Ft.

EX-5.1 2 v059815_ex5-1.txt December 7, 2006 NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. 2201 Second Street, Suite 402 Fort Myers, Florida 33901 Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the issuance by the Company of 753,616,533 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), which consists of (i) 168,188,883 shares of common stock previously issued by the Company (the "Issued Shares"); (ii) 335,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the conversion of previously issued shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"); (iii) 76,277,650 shares of common stock underlying the conversion of previously issued secured convertible debentures (the "Debenture Shares"); and (iv) 274,150,000 shares underlying the exercise of previously issued warrants (the "Warrant Shares"). The Issued Shares, the Preferred Shares, the Debenture Shares and the Warrant Shares shall be referred to collectively as the "Shares". You have requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement. For purposes of rendering that opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) and bylaws, the corporate action of the Company that provided for the issuance of the above referenced securities and we have made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have examined and relied upon certificates of public officials and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinion, we have also relied on a certificate of an officer of the Company. In rendering our opinion, we also have made the assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind. We have not verified any of these assumptions. Our opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Preferred Shares, the Debenture Shares and the Warrant Shares are duly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when issued and paid for as described in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and that the Issued Shares previously issued by the Company were duly authorized for issuance, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable when issued.

CORRESP 11 filename11.txt December 7, 2006 Barbara C. Jacobs Assistant Director United States Securities and Exchange Commission Mail Stop 4-6 Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed September 11, 2006 File No. 333-137227 Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2005 Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 File No. 0-21743 Dear Ms. Jacobs: This letter has been prepared in response to your request for NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. to respond to the staff's comments in the letter dated October 11, 2006 with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed September 11, 2006 by NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. Form S-3 General Comment 1: Please provide us with an analysis as to your eligibility to use Form S-3 for this transaction. In this regard, we note that you do not meet Transaction Requirement of General Instruction I.B.3, as your securities are neither listed and registered on a national securities exchange nor quoted on an automated quotation system of a national securities association. If you are relying on interpretation H.56 or our Telephone Interpretations date July 1997, please provide us with an explanation of how you calculated the float test of General Instruction I.B.1., and provide us with the specific numbers used in your calculation. -1- Response: We are relying on interpretation H.56 of SEC Telephone Interpretations dated July 1997, which allows issuers meeting the float test in General Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3 to make secondary offerings on Form S-3, even though the securities to be issued are not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an automated quotation system of a national securities association. The float test rule in General Instruction I.B.3 requires that the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the issuer is greater than $75 million as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of filing. We filed our From S-3 on September 11, 2006. For illustration purposes, the calculation below is shown as of July 31, 2006, which is a date within 60 days prior to filing: Shares outstanding on July 31, 2006 638,380,778 Less affiliate shares outstanding on July 31, 2006: William E. Fritz (9,640,766) Charles W. Fritz (47,110,944) James J. Keil (2,342,619) Martin N. Copus (1,500) A. Hayes Barclay (5,000) Charles T. Jensen (182,186) (59,283,015) -------------- ---------------- Public float on July 31, 2006 (no. of shares) 579,097,763 Last sale price on July 31, 2006 x $0.190 ---------------- Public Float on July 31, 2006 (dollars) $110,028,575 ================
Comment 2: Given the nature and size of the transaction being registered, advise us of your basis for determining that the transaction is appropriately characterized as a transaction that is eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(l)(i). Response: As calculated in Response No. 1 above, the Company was eligible to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to cover the resale of the shares of common stock held by the selling shareholders described in the registration statement. The shares of common stock being registered in the Form S-3 were obtained by the selling shareholders through completed private placement transactions with the Company. The Company believes that shares being registered are appropriately characterized as transactions that are eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415. -2- Calculation of Registration Fee Table Comment 3: According to your disclosure on page 21, you are registering 1,433,623 shares underlying options assumed by NeoMedia upon the acquisition of Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, and 12Snap. Please revise your fee table to indicate that these shares are not currently outstanding or update the disclosure on the cover page and in your prospectus. Response: The footnotes to the selling shareholders table indicate that for Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, and 12Snap, there were a total of 1,433,623 shares underlying currently exercisable options included in the column labeled "Shares Beneficially Owned Before Offering." These shares are not included in the column labeled "Shares to Be Sold in the Offering" and are not being registered hereunder. We have revised the footnote language in the amendment to more clearly disclose that the shares underlying currently exercisable options are not being registered hereunder. Summary, page 1 Comment 4: As previously requested in comment 1 of our letter dated July 13, 2006 relating to your prior registration statement on Form S-3 (file no. 333-135175), Please revise your summary to describe the significant terms of the Series C convertible preferred stock, including a concise description of the conversion terms, and the terms of the various warrants. Please also revise to concisely describe the terms of the $5 million convertible debenture, specifically the conversion terms. You should also include disclosure that greater than 80% of the shares being offered in this registration statement are to be sold be a single group of shareholder, Cornell Capital Partner and it affiliates. Finally, revise to state the total purchase price of each of the acquisitions referenced. Response: We have revised the disclosure accordingly. Comment 5: We note your response to prior comment 3 for our letter, dated July 13, 2006, relating to your prior registration statement on Form S-3 (file no. 333-135175) and disagree with your summary of the staff's position therein. Please note that informal oral guidance provided by the staff does not set forth the official views of the Commission or the five Commissioners. Please also note that form eligibility addresses only part of the concern raised by the staff position set forth in the Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Outline Quarterly Update, dated March 31, 2001: whether you may rely on Rule 415 for registration of the transaction. You have not addressed our concern as to whether Cornell's ownership of securities that are convertible at a market sensitive rate calls into question the completion of the SEDA transaction, when you choose to register the shares underlying the SEDA in what we presume will be a resale registration statement. Please note that we require a completed private placement prior to the registration of shares for resale. Therefore, as previously requested, please modify your references to the "2005 SEDA" or "100 million" equity line arrangement in the prospectus so that such reference is accompanied by text that prominently informs investors that the arrangement is not a viable source of financing for NeoMedia. See, for example, your discussion on page 26. Please make similar revision to your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. -3- Response: We have revised all discussions of the 2005 SEDA in the registration statement, as well as in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, to prominently disclose that the arrangement is not a viable source of financing for NeoMedia. Selling Stockholders, page 19 Comment 6: We note the disclosure in your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, that during the six months ended June 30, 2006, Cornell Capital exercised 40 million warrants, generating cash proceeds of $8 million. However, it does not appear that the shares are shown in this table as beneficially owned by Cornell Capital. Please revise or advise. We note that your registration statement on Form S-3 (file no. 333-135239), declared effective February 28, 2006, registers 50 million shares of common stock underlying warrants held be Cornell Capital. However, we also note your current report on Form 8-K, filed August 30, 2006, states that a warrant to purchase 50 million shares of common stock issued March 15, 2005 was amended to reduce the exercise price to $0.10 per share. Therefore. It is unclear whether the shares of common stock underlying the warrants exercised by Cornell Capital were restricted or registered securities and whether Cornell currently owns the shares exercised or whether they have been resold. Response: Cornell Capital exercised warrants as follows during 2006: 20,000,000 on February 9, 2006 and 20,000,000 on March 29, 2006. Both exercises were against the warrant dated March 30, 2005, which had an exercise price of $0.20 per share at the time the warrants were exercised. Total proceeds to NeoMedia were $8,000,000. The shares issued upon exercise of the warrant were subsequently sold by Cornell and were not held by Cornell as of September 11, 2006, the date of the filing of the S-3, and therefore were not reflected in the selling shareholder table. The shares were sold by Cornell pursuant to the effective S-3 under which they were previously registered (SEC File No. 333-135239, declared effective February 8, 2006), in which NeoMedia registered a total of 50,000,000 shares underlying this warrant. -4- Subsequent to the exercise of the warrants described above, on August 24, 2006, NeoMedia restated the exercise price of the remaining 10,000,000 shares underlying this warrant from $0.20 to $0.10 in connection with its secured convertible debenture financing. These remaining 10,000,000 warrants have not been exercised and the shares underlying the warrants are being registered hereunder. Material Transactions with Selling Stockholders, page 23 Comment 7: Your disclosure regarding the Securities Purchase Agreement for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock states that net consideration from this agreement was $14,066,000 cash, "marketable securities" with a fair value of $579,000 and a purchase value of $2,000,000, and the extinguishment of $3,209,000 of preexisting indebtedness. Revise to disclose what types of "marketable securities" were received. Based on the disclosure in your Form 8-K filed February 21, 2006, it appears that these are the assignment of promissory notes and common stock of Pick Ups Plus, Inc. In your revision, please also disclose your relationship with Pick Ups Plus, Inc. Additionally, please explain how you derived the net consideration amount, as your numbers do not seem to add up. Response: We have updated the disclosure to clarify these issues. Comment 8: Tell us the net proceeds received in connection with the sale of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the amount of fees or other discounts provided to Cornell as part of this transaction. Given the consideration received, it appears that Cornell Capital received a considerable discount on the securities purchased. Revise here and elsewhere in the prospectus, as appropriate, to disclose the discount afforded to Cornell Capital and the impact of such discount on current and future stockholders. Response: The fair value of net proceeds received in connection with the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was $17,854,000, consisting of: (i) $14,066,000 cash, (ii) retirement of a promissory note payable dated March 30, 2005 from NeoMedia to Cornell with a principal value of $2,790,000 plus accrued interest of $419,000, for a total fair value of $3,209,000, and (iii) marketable securities, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Pickups Plus Inc. with a fair value of $200,000 and various promissory notes payable from Pickups Plus Inc. to the holder with a face value of $1,365,000 and a calculated fair value of $379,000. Cornell's discount is therefore $4,146,000, consisting of $2,725,000 cash fees paid to Cornell and $1,421,000 difference between the face value and calculated fair value of the Pickups Plus, Inc. securities received. -5- In connection with the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, NeoMedia also issued warrants to Cornell Capital as follows: (i) a warrant to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share, (ii) a warrant to purchase 25,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.40 per share, and (iii) a warrant to purchase 30,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.35 per share. These warrants were subsequently repriced to $0.10, $0.15, and $0.10 per share, respectively, on August 24, 2006 in connection with the secured convertible debenture financing with Cornell Capital. We have revised the disclosures in the prospectus to quantify the discount afforded to Cornell Capital, as well as explain the impact of such discount on current and future stockholders. Comment 9: Please clarify whether the 75,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the "A" warrants, "B" warrants, and "C" warrants issued in connection with the Series C convertible preferred stock purchase agreement are being registered on this registration statement. Response: The 75,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the "A" warrants, "B" warrants, and "C" warrants issued in connection with the Series C convertible preferred stock purchase agreement are being registered on this registration statement. We have revised the disclosure to more clearly reflect this fact. Comment 10: It appears that the warrants held by Cornell Capital have cashless exercise features. If true, please revise your disclosure to prominently disclose this feature and to indicate in all applicable sections of the prospectus that such feature could result in certain circumstances in no further cash payments being made to the NeoMedia in connection with these securities. Response: The warrants held by Cornell Capital do have a cashless exercise feature. We have revised the disclosure in the "Material Transactions with Selling Shareholders" section and elsewhere where the warrants are discussed to reflect this fact. -6- Former Shareholders of 12Snap AG, page 28 Comment 11: Revise your disclosure to discuss the obligations to certain silent partnerships terminated as of February 28, 2006 referenced on page 5, which arose from your acquisition of this entity. Response: We have revised the disclosure accordingly. Information We Incorporate By Reference, page 39 Comment 12: Please also ensure that all current reports on Form 8-K filed since the beginning of your current fiscal year have been specifically incorporated by reference. It appears that several current reports were filed on the same day, but the multiple reports are not specifically referenced. Please also note that you should incorporate by reference both current reports and amended reports separately, as both reports were filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Response: We have updated the disclosure to appropriately reflect all current reports on Form 8-K. Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2006 Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2006..., page 49 Comment 13: There are many instances where two or more sources of a material change have been identified, but the dollar amounts for each source that contributed to the change were not disclosed. For instance, your disclosure of changes in net sales, technology, service, product and licenses sales , cost of technology service, product and licenses, gross profit, sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development between periods does not quantify each source that contributed to the change. The disclosure should quantify each source that contributed to a material change. See Section III. D of SEC Release 33-6835. In addition, your disclosure should remove vague terms such as "primarily" in favor of specific quantifications. Your disclosure should also address changes in the results of operations of your organic operations separately from changes caused by acquisitions in the first quarter of 2006. Please revise. This comment also applies to your disclosure regarding results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006. -7- Response: We have revised the disclosure in our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as filed on November 9, 2006. Comment 14: We also note your disclosure such as you "could realize a material increase in revenue over the next 12 months" in your various segments due to acquisitions and/or other factors. Revise to provide the specific basis for such statements. You should indicate the factors that will impact such increases in net sales and other material information necessary for investors to evaluate such statements. Response: We have revised the disclosure in our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as filed on November 9, 2006. Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 53 Comment 15: We note the going concern opinion expressed by your independent auditors. Expand this section to state the minimum period of operations you are able to fund using your current capital resources as well as any additional contractually committed capital you are entitled to receive. Indicate whether your current capital resources plus additional capital contractually committed to you is sufficient to fund your planned operations for a period of no less than twelve months from the date of the prospectus. In this regard, we note that most of your outstanding warrants have an exercise price greater than your current closing bid price and it is, therefore, unlikely you will be able to force the exercise of such warrants. Moreover, please note from comment 5 above our position that your $100 million equity line arrangement is not viable source of financing at this time. Please revise the discussion of the SEDA accordingly. Disclose the current rate at which you are using capital in operations and describe how you plan to address any deficiency. Response: We have revised the disclosure in our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as filed on November 9, 2006 Comment 16: Also, expand your disclosure to discuss in quantitative terms how your plans to "implement an aggressive growth campaign focusing on expansion through... acquisition and globalization" compare to your operations in the most recent financial statement period. To the extent you do not have sufficient capital to fund your planned operations and expansions for the twelve-month period, disclose the minimum amount of additional capital that must be obtained to fund any portion of twelve months of operations from the effective date. -8- Response: We have revised the disclosure in our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as filed on November 9, 2006 Comment 17: Specifically address the potential cash payments due to the former stockholder of your recently acquired business. Tell us the status of your negotiations with such former stockholders and how you intend to raise sufficient capital to pay any cash consideration due to those investors. Response: We have revised the disclosure in our 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, as filed on November 9, 2006, to address the potential cash payments. Additionally, on November 14, 2006 and December 6, 2006, NeoMedia completed transactions to divest of the majority of its interests in Sponge Limited and Mobot, Inc., respectively. These transactions each call for, among other things, the termination of the purchase price guarantee. As a result, NeoMedia is no longer required to fulfill this obligation as it relates to Sponge and Mobot. These transactions are described in detail in the S-3 registration statement. With respect to the former shareholders of Gavitec AG, NeoMedia has proposed to pay the purchase price guarantee in restricted shares of NeoMedia common stock, to be valued at a discount to market price at the time of issuance. The Gavitec shareholders' representative has issued a counterproposal pursuant to which the new shares would carry a guarantee of their value, similar to the original purchase price obligation, such that any decrease in value from the time of their issuance through the time they are able to be sold would be guaranteed by NeoMedia. We will continue to attempt to negotiate a settlement that is acceptable to both parties. With respect to the former shareholders of 12Snap AG, NeoMedia has proposed to pay the purchase price guarantee in restricted shares of NeoMedia common stock, to be valued at a discount to market price at the time of issuance. We are continuing to attempt to negotiate a settlement for payment in restricted stock that is acceptable to both parties. Very truly yours, /S/ Charles T. Jensen Charles T.
