The above table does not include future obligations associated with a new lease agreement we entered into for our corporate headquarters in Boulder, Colorado on February 19, 2014. The agreement provides for a five year lease of 2,303 square feet expiring on March 31, 2019 with estimated rent and monthly rent payments over the term of $5,689.  We intend to sublease certain portions of the lease that are unused by us.  Additionally, we entered into an amended lease arrangement for NeoMedia Europe GmbH’s office lease in February 2014 to reduce the rented area to approximately 125 square meters with the same lease expiration date and reduced monthly rent of approximately $1,400. The amended NeoMedia Europe GmbH lease is also not reflected in the above table.
 
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. If the resolution of ongoing legal actions is not in our favor, our financial position and operating results could be materially adversely impacted.
