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. 
 
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 and its subsequent amendment. 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. In addition, as we communicated in a Periodic Report on Form 8-K on July 29, 2014, we are restating certain of our financial statements by filing amendments to our previously filed Form 10-K for December 31, 2013 (and interim periodic reports on Form 10-Q).   We and the SEC have concluded that certain modifications in the Company’s valuation methodology, deemed as accounting estimates by the Company, contained errors with respect to the valuation of convertible debentures issued by the Company, in that such methodology did not capture the debentures’ potentially dilutive effect upon their conversion into common stock.  Please see the disclosure immediately below entitled “Restatement to 2014 and 2013 Interim Reporting and of the December 31, 2013 Balance Sheet” for further information as these changes in valuation methodology has affected our previously filed interim report on Form 10-Q for March 31, 2014.
