Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 7, 2006, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of Neoware, Inc. (the “Company”) approved annual bonuses for its executive officers under the Company’s Senior Officer Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). The Company did not achieve 100% of the operating income performance goal for fiscal 2006 that had been established in accordance with the Plan, which was previously approved by the Compensation Committee and disclosed by the Company on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 31, 2006. In its discretion, the Compensation Committee granted bonuses based on percentages of base salaries that were less than 100% of each individual’s target bonus percentage in accordance with the Plan, after taking into consideration the Company’s performance during fiscal 2006 and such individual’s contribution to that performance.

The Compensation Committee approved cash bonuses under the Plan for each of the following executive officers: Michael Kantrowitz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Eric Rubino, Chief Operating Officer, and Keith Schneck, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, were awarded bonuses equal to 40% of their target bonus percentages; and Peter Bolton, Executive Vice President-Europe, Middle East and Asia, and Wei Ching, Executive Vice President, Asia, were awarded bonuses equal to 33% of their target bonus percentages.

All summaries or descriptions of the Plan are qualified in their entireties by the Plan filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 31, 2006.
