Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – General
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,” “NeoMedia,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terms), a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. We have positioned ourselves to lead the development of 2D mobile barcode technology and infrastructure solutions that enable the mobile barcode ecosystem world-wide. NeoMedia harnesses the power of the mobile phone in innovative ways with state-of-the-art mobile barcode technology solutions. With this technology, mobile devices with cameras become barcode scanners, enabling a range of practical applications including mobile marketing and mobile commerce. In addition, we offer licensing of our extensive intellectual property portfolio.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We believe these statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NeoMedia and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We operate as one reportable segment. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.
Change in Estimates – For the three month period ended March 31, 2014 fair value accounting of the derivative financial instruments and debentures payable, we reassessed the valuation techniques used to estimate the liability fair values. Based on the assessment, including discussions with the third-party valuation firm assisting us with the calculation, we determined that the valuation technique should be modified to consider the potentially dilutive impact on the stock price resulting from the issuance of additional shares of common stock upon the conversion of the instruments as well as the resulting value in comparison to our market capitalization. The change in estimate from the valuation technique modification had the following impact on the financial instruments as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):
Decrease in liability | Gain from change in fair value | |||||||
Derivative financial instrument - warrants | $ | 20 | $ | 20 | ||||
Derivative financial instrument - Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock | 23,278 | 23,278 | ||||||
Debentures payable - carried at fair value | 219,136 | 219,136 |
Page 6 |
The modification of the valuation technique represents a change in accounting estimate as discussed in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250-10-45-17, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The impact from the modification in valuation technique has therefore been reflected in the period of change and will be reflected in future periods. See Note 3 – Financing for additional discussion.
Going Concern – We have historically incurred operating losses, and we may continue to generate negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that our continuing efforts to execute our business plan will be successful and that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern given fair value accounting related to our debentures. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $242.6 million as compared to $9.0 million, respectively, including $242.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of net gains related to our financing instruments.
Net cash provided by operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $27,000 as compared to net cash used in operations of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, we have an accumulated deficit of $236.9 million. We also have a working capital deficit of $41.3 million, including $39.2 million in current liabilities for our derivative and debenture financing instruments.
We currently do not have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain our operations for the next twelve months if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. Our plan is to develop new client and customer relationships and substantially increase our revenue derived from our products/services and IP licensing. If our revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, we may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, we cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and we may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The convertible debentures and preferred stock used to finance the Company, which may be converted into common stock at the sole option of the holders, have a highly dilutive impact when they are converted, greatly increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding. During 2013, there were 2,879 million shares of common stock issued for these conversions. We cannot predict if or when each holder may or may not elect to convert into shares of common stock.
Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Revisions to 2013 Interim Reporting – In connection with the completion of our third quarter 2013 and first quarter 2014 reporting, we identified certain errors associated with our first quarter 2013 interim reporting. We assessed the impact of these errors and concluded that the errors did not result in a material misstatement. To correct the errors, we have revised the three months ended March 31, 2013 reporting as discussed below. Our assessment considered the guidance provided by ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and ASC Topic 250-10-S99-1, Assessing Materiality. Based on our conclusion that the errors were not material individually or in aggregate to any of the prior reporting periods, we determined amendments to previously filed financial statement reports were not required in accordance with the applicable ASC guidance. We also concluded that the revisions applicable to prior periods should be reflected herein and will be reflected in future filings containing such information.
The condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 originally reported a loss from change in fair value of hybrid financial instruments of $299,000 but should have reflected a gain of $6,774,000. Additionally, the Company reported a gain from change in fair value of derivative liability – Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock and debentures of $6,774,000 but should have reflected a loss of $299,000. The errors were due to clerical transposing of the amounts and have been revised herein to reflect the proper amounts. The foreign currency translation adjustment within comprehensive income (loss) originally reflected a $111,000 loss but should have reflected a $111,000 gain. The reporting has been revised herein to reflect the proper amounts. Additionally, the fully diluted net income per share was reflected as $0.003 but should have been $0.000. The reporting has been revised herein to reflect the proper amount.
Page 7 |
The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 overstated net cash used in operating activities and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash by approximately $113,000. The revised net cash used in operating activities was approximately $547,000 and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was negative $2,000. The amounts have been revised herein to reflect the proper amounts.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share – The components of basic and diluted income per share attributable to the Company’s common stock shareholders were as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Basic income per common share | $ | 0.049 | $ | 0.003 | ||||
Diluted income per common share | $ | 0.001 | $ | 0.000 |
We excluded approximately 1,173,000 and 1,883,833,000 dilutive securities from the calculation of diluted income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, because inclusion of these securities would be antidilutive.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Note 3 – Financing
At March 31, 2014, financial instruments arising from our financing transactions with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”), an accredited investor, included shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued in February 2006, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued in January 2010, a series of six consolidated secured convertible debentures (the “Consolidated Debentures”) issued July 1, 2013 and various warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. All of our assets are pledged to secure our obligations under the debt securities. At various times, YA Global has assigned or distributed portions of its holdings of these securities to other holders, including persons who are officers of YA Global and its related entities, as well as to other holders who are investors in YA Global’s funds.
Page 8 |
Secured Debentures – We had originally entered into financing transactions with YA Global, which included a series of twenty-seven secured convertible debentures issued between August 2006 and July 2012. Effective July 1, 2013, the terms of the debentures held by YA Global were modified to consolidate the principal and interest amounts outstanding under all of the outstanding secured convertible debentures previously issued by us to YA Global, such that, upon the issuance of the Consolidated Debentures and cancellation of the prior debentures, the amount of outstanding debentures issued to YA Global decreased from twenty-seven to six debentures. The maturity dates of these secured convertible debentures were also extended from August 1, 2014 to August 1, 2015.
The underlying agreements for each of the Consolidated Debentures are very similar in form. The Consolidated Debentures are convertible into our common stock, at the option of the holder, at the lower of a fixed conversion price per share or a percentage of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for a specified number of days prior to the conversion (the “look-back period”). The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 9.99% ownership of the outstanding common stock, unless the holder waives their right to such limitation. All of the debentures are secured according to the terms of a Security Pledge Agreement dated August 23, 2006, which was entered into in connection with the first convertible debenture issued to YA Global and which provides YA Global with a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The debentures are also secured by a Patent Security Agreement dated July 29, 2008. On August 13, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary, NeoMedia Europe GmbH, became a guarantor of all outstanding financing transactions between us and YA Global, through pledges of their intellectual property and other movable assets. As security for our obligations to YA Global, all of our Pledged Property, Patent Collateral and other collateral is affirmed through the several successive Ratification Agreements executed in connection with each of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 financings. The 2013 modification and consolidation of the outstanding secured convertible debentures as well as the execution of an Amended and Restated Patent Security Agreement in 2013 reaffirmed the Pledged Property, Patent Collateral and other collateral pledged as security for our obligations to YA Global.
We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion features of the Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and the Consolidated Debentures were not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to their variable conversion rates. The contracts have no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable, so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Accordingly, either the embedded derivative instruments, including the conversion option, must be bifurcated and accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities or, as permitted by ASC 815-15-25-4, Recognition of Embedded Derivatives, the instruments may be carried in their entirety at fair value.
At inception, we elected to bifurcate the embedded derivatives related to the Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, while electing the fair value option for the Consolidated Debentures. ASC 825, Financial Instruments, allows us to elect the fair value option for recording financial instruments when they are initially recognized or if there is an event that requires re-measurement of the instruments at fair value, such as a significant modification of the debt.
On February 4, 2013, we entered into a Debenture Extension Agreement with YA Global to extend the maturity dates of the secured convertible debentures to August 1, 2014. Because the effect of the extension did not exceed a significance threshold relative to cash flows prescribed by ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, extinguishment accounting was not applicable. On July 1, 2013, in addition to consolidating the secured debentures into six Consolidated Debentures, the maturity date was extended to August 1, 2015. Four of the Consolidated Debentures are non-interest bearing while the remaining two Consolidated Debentures accrue interest at 9.5% as outlined in further detail below. Debentures assigned to other investors by YA Global were also modified effective July 1, 2013 to extend the maturity date to August 1, 2015. We evaluated the impact of the modification on the accounting for the Consolidated Debentures in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-6 through 12 to determine whether extinguishment accounting was appropriate. Because the effect of the extension did not exceed a significance threshold relative to cash flows prescribed by ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, extinguishment accounting was not applicable.

We bifurcate the compound embedded derivatives related to the Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and carry these financial instruments as liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. Election to carry the instruments at fair value in their entirety is not available since their terms have not been modified. Significant components of the compound embedded derivative include (i) the embedded conversion feature, (ii) down-round anti-dilution protection features and (iii) default, non-delivery and buy-in puts, all of which were combined into one compound instrument that is carried at fair value as a derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative liability are recorded within income each period.
Conversions and Repayments – Our preferred stock and convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock. Upon conversion of any of the convertible financial instruments in which the compound embedded derivative is bifurcated, the carrying amount of the instrument and the related derivative liability are credited to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued and no gain or loss is recognized. For instruments that are recorded in their entirety at the fair value of the hybrid instrument, the fair value of the hybrid instrument converted is credited to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued and no gain or loss is recognized. The trading market price of our common stock (and the conversion price) has been less than its par value from time to time. We are limited to issuing shares of common stock at no less than the par value, and all shares of our common stock issued in those conversions were issued at par value. However, the methodology used to estimate the number of shares of convertible debentures and preferred stock converted during this time are based upon the value received for the shares issued, with the difference between that value and the par value recorded as a deemed dividend.
The following table provides a summary of the preferred stock conversions that have occurred since inception and the number of common shares issued upon conversion.

Warrants – YA Global holds warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that were issued in connection with the convertible debentures and the Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The warrants are exercisable at a fixed exercise price which, from time to time, has been reduced due to anti-dilution provisions when we have entered into subsequent financing arrangements with a lower price. The exercise prices may be reset again in the future if we subsequently issue stock or enter into a financing arrangement with a lower price. In addition, upon each adjustment in the exercise price, the number of warrant shares issuable is adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the warrant exercise price in effect prior to the adjustment by the number of warrant shares issuable prior to the adjustment divided by the warrant exercise price resulting from the adjustment.
The warrants issued to YA Global do not meet all of the established criteria for equity classification in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and accordingly, are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each period.
Effective February 1, 2013, 1.4 billion of the 1.9 billion warrants held by YA Global were cancelled and the remaining 500 million had their exercise price reduced to $0.0001 per share. These changes resulted in a decrease in fair value of the warrants of approximately $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2013 as reflected in the gain from change in fair value of derivative liabilities - warrants.
Fair value disclosures for Series C and D Bifurcated Embedded Derivative Instruments – For financings in which the embedded derivative instruments are bifurcated and recorded separately, the compound embedded derivative instruments are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation methodology because that model embodies certain relevant assumptions (including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, and conversion/redemption privileges) that are necessary to value these complex derivatives.
Assumptions used in calculating the preferred share values as of March 31, 2014 included remaining equivalent term of 1.34 years, annualized volatility of 187%, stated dividend of 8%, equivalent credit-risk adjusted rate of 13.0% and conversion price of $0.000194. Equivalent amounts reflect the net results of multiple modeling simulations that the Monte Carlo Simulation methodology applies to underlying assumptions. We modified the valuation technique to consider the potentially dilutive impact on the stock price resulting from the issuance of additional common shares upon the conversion of the preferred shares and convertible debentures. Approximately $23.3 million of the gain from change in fair value of derivative liability – Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock and debentures was attributable to the change in valuation technique for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company determined inclusion of the impact from potentially dilutive shares in the valuation technique to be a change in accounting estimate as discussed in ASC Topic 250-10-45-17, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and is therefore reflected in the period of change and will be reflected in future periods.
The following table reflects the face value of the instruments and the fair value of the separately-recognized compound embedded derivative, as well the number of common shares into which the instruments are convertible as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The terms of the embedded conversion features in the convertible instruments presented above provide for variable conversion rates that are indexed to our quoted common stock price. As a result, the number of indexed shares is subject to continuous fluctuation. For presentation purposes, the number of shares of common stock into which the embedded conversion feature of the Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 was calculated as face value plus assumed dividends (if declared), divided by the lesser of the fixed rate or the calculated variable conversion price using the 125 day look-back period.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instrument liabilities related to the bifurcated embedded derivative features of the convertible instruments are reported as Gain (loss) from Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability – Series C and Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Debentures in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Hybrid Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value – At inception, the March 2007, August 2007, April 2008, May 2008 and April 2012 convertible debentures were recorded in their entirety at fair value as hybrid instruments in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4 with subsequent changes in fair value charged or credited to income each period. As of May 25, 2012, we elected the fair value option for all other convertible debentures held by YA Global upon a re-measurement date that was triggered by significant modifications of the financial instruments. The convertible debentures continued to be recorded in their entirety at fair value upon their consolidation into six Consolidated Debentures effective July 1, 2013. The conversion price in each of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment for down-round, anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if we sell common stock or common share indexed financial instruments below the stated or variable conversion price of the debenture, the conversion price adjusts to that lower amount.
Because these debentures are carried in their entirety at fair value, the value of the embedded conversion feature is embodied in those fair values. We estimate the fair value of the hybrid instrument as the present value of the cash flows of the instrument, using a risk-adjusted interest rate, enhanced by the value of the conversion option, valued using a Monte Carlo model. This method was considered by our management to be the most appropriate method of encompassing the credit risk and exercise behavior that a market participant would consider when valuing the hybrid financial instrument. Inputs used to value the hybrid instruments as of March 31, 2014 included: (i) present value of future cash flows for the debentures using an effective market interest rate of 13.0%, (ii) remaining term of 1.34 years, (iii) annualized volatility of 187%, and (iv) anti-dilution adjusted conversion prices ranging from $0.00018 - $0.00019. We also modified the valuation technique to consider the potentially dilutive impact on the stock price from the issuance of common shares upon the conversion of the debentures. An approximately $219.1 million gain from change in fair value of hybrid financial instruments was attributable to the change in valuation technique for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company determined inclusion of the impact from potentially dilutive shares in the valuation technique to be a change in accounting estimate as discussed in ASC Topic 250-10-45-17, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and is therefore reflected in the period of change and will be reflected in future periods.
The following table reflects the face value of the financial instruments, the fair value of the hybrid financial instrument and the number of shares of common stock into which the instruments are convertible as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The warrants are valued using a binomial lattice option valuation methodology because that model embodies all of the significant relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions used in this model as of March 31, 2014 included an expected life equal to the remaining term of the warrants, an expected dividend yield of zero, estimated volatility ranging from 165% to 194%, and risk-free rates of return ranging from 0.14% to 1.04%. For the risk-free rates of return, we use the published yields on zero-coupon Treasury Securities with maturities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and volatility is based upon our expected common stock price volatility over the remaining term of the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is currently $0.0001, which was also estimated to be the exercise price for purposes of the valuation technique. The anti-dilution provisions of the warrants allow for the fixed exercise price to be reset to the lowest price of any subsequently issued common share indexed instruments with a conversion price below the current exercise price of the warrant. However, the likelihood of the Company issuing additional equity below the current strike price was deemed impractical and as a result, the anti-dilutive protection was not factored into the calculation. We also modified the valuation technique to consider the potentially dilutive impact on the stock price from the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants on the fair value estimate of the warrants. We estimated that the exercise of the warrants would result in 7.6% decline in the stock price and a corresponding decline in the fair value of the warrants of approximately $20,000 as compared to the fair value assuming no dilution. The Company determined inclusion of the impact from potentially dilutive shares in the valuation technique to be a change in accounting estimate as discussed in ASC Topic 250-10-45-17, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and is therefore reflected in the period of change and will be reflected in future periods.

Reconciliation of changes in fair value – Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Our derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, valuation techniques are sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high estimated historical volatility. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Other – On February 21, 2014, the Company received a correspondence (the “Delta Notice”) from Delta Capital Partners LLC (“Delta”), asserting a claim for certain amounts owed under a secured convertible debenture. The principal amount outstanding and conversion rights under such instrument had been assigned to Delta by YA Global (the “Assignment”), several years subsequent to the original issuance of the instrument by the Company to YA Global. The Company’s understanding is that pursuant to the terms of the Assignment, YA Global, as collateral agent, retained all rights in connection with the enforcement of any claims under Delta’s secured convertible debenture. YA Global has indicated that it does not intend to assert any of the claims described by Delta in the Delta Notice.

Note 8 – Plan of Merger
On February 21, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Qode Services Corporation (“Qode”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Qode will be merged into the Company and will cease to exist upon the completion of certain conditions. The Company shall continue as the surviving corporation.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s charter shall be amended to provide for an increase in the amount of common stock authorized shares, and each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to merger shall continue to remain outstanding and remain unchanged, except that (i) the par value shall change from $0.001 per share to no par value per share, and (ii) each fifteen (15) shares of common stock issued and outstanding shall be combined and converted into one (1) share of common stock. Upon the consummation of the merger and reverse stock split effected thereunder, the amount of authorized shares of common stock shall be increased from 5 billion to 7.5 billion shares.
The Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Merger Agreement was the only option available to avoid default after the holder of a majority of the outstanding secured convertible debentures communicated its intent to foreclose on all of the Company’s assets in the event that the Company’s share reserves were not sufficient to honor conversions under such instruments (a potential default thereunder). Further, the holder of the secured convertible debentures agreed to enter into amendments to the secured convertible debentures to decrease the aggregate amount of debt by $5.0 million if the Company resolved the issue.
The Company anticipates closing the merger on May 11, 2014.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events
On April 25, 2014, the Company entered into a Reaffirmation and Ratification Agreement with YA Global. Under the terms of the agreement, YA Global agreed to reduce the outstanding principal for certain of the Consolidated Debentures by $5.0 million. The agreement also summarizes and affirms all principal amounts presently outstanding and owed by the Company to YA Global under all of the outstanding financing documents and debentures issued by the Company to YA (the “Financing Documents”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company (i) ratified the terms of the Financing Documents and agreed that they remain in full force and effect, (ii) confirmed that the collateral rights granted to YA Global under the Financing Documents secure the obligations created thereunder, (iii) confirmed that the occurrence of an “event of default” under any of the Financing Documents would constitute an “event of default” under all of the Financing Documents, and (iv) agreed to execute and deliver to YA Global all such additional documents as reasonably required by YA Global to correct any document deficiencies, or to vest or perfect the Financing Documents and the collateral granted therein, and authorized YA Global to file any financing statements and take any other actions necessary to perfect YA Global’s security interests in any such collateral.
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
NeoMedia has positioned itself to lead the world in mobile barcode technology and solutions that enable the mobile ecosystem. NeoMedia harnesses the power of the mobile device in innovative ways with state-of-the-art mobile barcode technology. With this technology, mobile devices with cameras become barcode scanners, enabling a range of practical applications including mobile marketing and mobile commerce. In addition, we offer licensing of our extensive intellectual property portfolio. We are focusing our activities primarily in the United States and Europe, although we are also active in other markets via partners or our self service products.
Our key focus areas are to: 1) maximize our patent portfolio through IP licensing monetization and enforcement; 2) provide service to enterprises, brands and retailers to maximize the reach of our barcode creation and reader solutions; and, 3) partner with key mobile marketing entities to expand the depth of our offering to provide full end-to-end solutions for our customers.
NeoMedia has been active in, and strives to be an innovator in, the mobile barcode field since the mid-1990s, and during that time has spearheaded the development of a robust IP portfolio. In September 2011, we announced an agreement with Global IP Law Group to help further monetize our patent portfolio, focusing on the US market. During the first quarter of 2014, we closed nine (9) new IP agreements bringing the total quantity of deals closed to approximately fifty (50).
On the product side of our business, our barcode management solutions include our barcode reader (NeoReader) as well as our barcode creation solutions (NeoSphere and QodeScan). Mobile barcodes continue to be an increasingly important activation element for brands and marketers and we continue to see growth in terms of new customer additions and traffic across our network.
We believe that NeoMedia remains strong and consistent in its approach to market and that we will continue to differentiate ourselves on the basis of our high quality product and service offerings, our responsive customer service and support organization, our customizable and full service solutions and our robust intellectual property portfolio.
NeoReader has experienced continued growth particularly in enterprise implementations. NeoReader continues to be pre-installed on Sony Mobile devices and is available for download from the key “app stores” including Apple App Store™, Google Play™, Nokia Ovi Store, BlackBerry App World™, Windows® Marketplace, Facebook and Amazon. Our barcode reader now has approximately 50+ million installations world-wide. Our reader is offered to consumers free of charge, leveraging an ad supported model, and we anticipate the growth in consumer utilization will continue as barcodes continue to be utilized for a wide variety of vertical applications. We also offer NeoReader SDK for enterprise opportunities. Our research suggests that we are one of the few providers in the global ecosystem to offer Aztec code support, in addition to QR, Data Matrix, Code 39, PDF417 and a variety of 1D symbologies.
In 2013, we launched QodeScan, our low cost self-service barcode creation product. QodeScan is for those users who don’t have high scan volumes but would like the insight into analytics that a managed service provides. In addition to QodeScan, we continue to offer our NeoSphere product intended for enterprises, agencies and other large volume users. We have many Fortune 500 brands using our NeoSphere product in their global barcode operations. Our QR creation services utilize an indirect methodology for our customer, which is also embodied in our intellectual property.

Legal costs continue to be high for us. The costs to maintain our public company status, our IP licensing initiatives, satisfy our investor obligations as well as participate in an unexpected arbitration catapulted our legal fees to approximately thirty percent (30%) of total operating expenses for us in 2013. We expect the significant legal expenditures to continue in 2014. Unfortunately, this has meant that funds earmarked for sales and marketing investment were spent on legal fees.

Revenues – Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $1,003,000 and $602,000, respectively, an increase of $401,000, or 67%. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the quantity of IP licensing agreements executed in the current quarter as compared to the same prior year quarter.
Cost of Revenues – Cost of revenues was $158,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $127,000 or 410%. Cost of revenues primarily relate to third-party professional fees incurred in connection with the sale of our IP licenses. The increase in the costs are due to the corresponding increase in IP licensing revenues.
Sales and Marketing – Sales and marketing expenses were $15,000 compared to $61,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing a decline of approximately $46,000 or 75%. The decline in costs was primarily due to less press and investor relations activities associated with cost reduction efforts.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses were $603,000 and $857,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $254,000 or 30%. The decline in expenses was primarily due to lower general legal expenses as well as a decline in amortization expenses associated with certain intangible assets that became fully amortized in the prior year.
Research and Development – Research and development costs were $177,000 and $212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reflecting a decrease of approximately $35,000, or 17%. Research and development expenses decreased due to cost containment efforts and were primarily focused on the research and development activities in Germany.

Other Income (Expense)
The following table sets forth certain data derived from our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
(revised) | ||||||||
Gain from change in fair value of hybrid financial instruments | $ | 218,656 | $ | 6,774 | ||||
Gain from change in fair value of derivative liability - warrants | 437 | 3,122 | ||||||
Gain (loss) from change in fair value of derivative liability - Series C and D preferred stock and debentures | 23,447 | (299 | ) | |||||
Total other income | $ | 242,540 | $ | 9,597 |
Gain from Change in Fair Value of Hybrid Financial Instruments – We record our debentures at fair value, in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-25, and do not separately account for the embedded conversion feature. The change in the fair value of these liabilities includes changes in the value of the accrued interest due under these instruments, as well as changes in the fair value of the common stock underlying the instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $218.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to a change in our valuation technique used to estimate the liability and resulted in an approximately $219.1 million gain. See the Change in Estimates discussion within Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional description. The additional changes reflected in each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were due to the impact on the fair value determination of the hybrid financial instruments from fluctuations in our stock price as well as the accrued interest and present value of the face amount of the debentures.
Gain from Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities – Warrants – We account for our outstanding common stock warrants that were issued in connection with our preferred stock and our debentures, at fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the liability related to the securities fluctuated resulting in a gain of $0.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of the decline in our stock price during the period, and the gain during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily the result of the cancellation of approximately 1.5 billion warrants in February 2013.
Gain (loss) from Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities – Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock and Debentures – For our Series C and D Convertible Preferred Stock, and certain of our historical debentures, we account for the embedded conversion feature separately as a derivative financial instrument. We carry these derivative financial instruments at fair value. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $23.4 million as compared to a loss of $0.3 million, respectively. The gain for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to a change in our valuation technique used to estimate the liability and resulted in approximately $23.3 million of the total gain. See the Change in Estimates discussion within Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional description. The additional gain and loss for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were primarily due to fluctuations in our stock price and the impact of those fluctuations on the fair value determination of the hybrid financial instruments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, we had $266,000 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $267,000 as of December 31, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities was $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $547,000 used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The improvement in cash flows from operations is primarily due to improved operating results from higher revenues and reduced expenses.
Payments on short-term notes payable within cash flows from financing activities reflects disbursements for opportunistic low interest rate borrowings that occurred in 2013 in order to pay annual insurance premiums.
Page 20 |
Going Concern – We have historically incurred operating losses, and we may continue to generate negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that our continuing efforts to execute on our business plan will be successful and that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern given fair value accounting related to our debentures. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $242.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, including $242.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of net gains related to our financing instruments.
Net cash provided by operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $27,000 as compared to net cash used in operations of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, we have an accumulated deficit of $236.9 million. We also have a working capital deficit of $41.3 million, including $39.2 million in current liabilities for our derivative and debenture financing instruments.
We currently do not have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain our operations for the next twelve months if we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations. Our plan is to develop new client and customer relationships and substantially increase our revenue derived from our products/services and IP licensing. If our revenues do not reach the level anticipated in our plan, we may require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan. If additional financing is required, we cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and we may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The convertible debentures and preferred stock used to finance the Company, which may be converted into common stock at the sole option of the holders, have a highly dilutive impact when they are converted, greatly increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding. During 2013, there were 2,879 million shares of common stock issued for these conversions. We cannot predict if or when each holder may or may not elect to convert into shares of common stock.
Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The significant accounting policies set forth in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as updated by Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of our critical accounting policies and estimates, the disclosure with respect to which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and are not required to provide information under this item.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Page 21 |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, both as claimant and defendant. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, we believe the eventual resolution of any ongoing legal actions is unlikely to have a material impact on our financial position or operating results.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information under this item.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

MERGER AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
BETWEEN QODE SERVICES CORPORATION
(a Delaware corporation),
AND
NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(a Delaware corporation)
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of February 21, 2014, between Qode Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Subsidiary"), and Neomedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
WHEREAS, Parent is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Subsidiary and the Board of Directors of Parent deem it advisable to merge Subsidiary with and into Parent so that Parent is the surviving corporation on the terms provided herein (the "Merger");
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
MERGER
Section 1.1. The Merger.
After satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger, and subject to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), Subsidiary will merge with and into Parent and Parent shall file a
1 |
Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary of State") in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State or at such later time as may be provided for in such Certificate of Merger (the "Effective Time"). Upon the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Subsidiary shall cease and Parent shall be the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation").
Section 1.2. Conditions to the Merger.
The respective obligation of each party to effect the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (except as provided in this Agreement) of the following conditions:
(a) This Agreement shall have been adopted by the sole stockholder of Subsidiary, in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Subsidiary; and
(b) This Agreement shall have been adopted by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of Parent in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL and the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Parent.
Section 1.3. Transfer, Conveyance and Assumption.
At the Effective Time, Parent shall continue in existence as the Surviving Corporation and, without further transfer, succeed to and possess all rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Subsidiary, and all of the assets and property of whatever kind and character of the Subsidiary shall vest in Parent, as the Surviving Corporation, without further deed; thereafter, Parent, as the Surviving Corporation, shall be liable for all of the liabilities and obligations of Subsidiary, and any claim or judgment against Subsidiary may be enforced against Parent, as the Surviving Corporation, in accordance with Section 259 of the DGCL.
Section 1.4. Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Parent shall be the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation provide that Article IV thereof shall be amended in its entirety as follows:

2 |

The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting power of all shares of capital stock of the Company, without a separate class vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock irrespective of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the terms of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock which solely affects the rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, powers or restrictions of such series of Preferred Stock.

No fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock to which any stockholder is entitled, such stockholder shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled by (b) the per share closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reported on the OTC Markets Bulletin Board.”

(b) Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock"), each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to remain outstanding as one share of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation and remain unchanged, except that (i) the par value shall change from $0.001 per share to no par value per share, and (ii) each fifteen (15) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”).

(d) Upon the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any outstanding share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the "Parent Series D Preferred Stock"), each share of Parent Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain unchanged and continue to remain outstanding as one share of Parent Series D Preferred Stock of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 2.2. Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Parent held by a person (a "Dissenting Stockholder") who shall not have voted or consented in writing to adopt this Agreement and who properly demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL ( "Dissenting Shares") shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such Dissenting Stockholder's shares of capital stock of Parent shall no longer be considered Dissenting Shares for the purposes of this Agreement.
4 |
Section 2.3. No Fractional Shares.
As a result of and in connection with the Reverse Split, no fractional shares shall be issued and, in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock to which any stockholder is entitled, such stockholder shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the fraction to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled by (b) the per share closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Effective Time, as reported on the OTC Markets Bulletin Board.
