NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“NeoMedia” or the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and which are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of NeoMedia as of September 30, 2006, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $27,094,000, which includes a gain from the change in fair value from revaluation of warrants and embedded conversion features of $6,523,000 and a charge for the write-off of the deferred equity financing costs of $13,256,000. NeoMedia also reported net losses of $9,147,000 and $7,230,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $119,618,000 and a working capital deficit of $30,222,000 as of September 30, 2006.

In addition, NeoMedia has material liquidity events that could adversely affect its ability to continue as a going concern, primarily:

·  In the event that NeoMedia’s stock price at the time the consideration shares issued in connection with the acquisitions of Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, and 12Snap become saleable is less than the contractual price (between $0.3839 and $0.3956), NeoMedia is obligated to compensate the sellers in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and the relevant contractual price. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.10, which was the last sale price on October 23, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $32.7 million relating to the guarantees.

·  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, NeoMedia made cash payments totaling $2.1 million to silent partners of 12Snap, as partial payment under silent partner agreements entered into by 12Snap prior to the acquisition of 12Snap by NeoMedia. The agreements call for additional cash payments of approximately $2.5 million on or before December 31, 2006.

If the Company’s financial resources are insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and reclassification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

During August 2006, NeoMedia announced its intent to sell its Micro Paint Repair business unit. NeoMedia expects to receive cash proceeds from the sale of the division, which will be used to fund the operations and growth of the NeoMedia Mobile and NeoMedia Telecom Services businesses.

Should these financing sources fail to materialize, management would seek alternate funding sources such as the sale of common and/or preferred stock, the issuance of debt, or the sale of its marketable assets. Management’s plan is to secure adequate funding to bridge the profitability from the NeoMedia Mobile and NeoMedia Telecom Services businesses.

Nature of Business Operations

Historically, NeoMedia has been structured and evaluated by its Board of Directors and management as three distinct business units: NeoMedia Internet Switching Software (NISS), NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair (NMPR), and NeoMedia Consulting and Integration Services (NCIS).

NCIS is the original business line upon which the Company was founded. This unit resells client-server equipment and related software, and general and specialized consulting services. Because of decreased demand for systems integration products, and increased consolidation and competition in the industry in general, during 2005 resources allocated to the NCIS business unit were increasingly used in sales and business development efforts associated with the NISS business unit. During February 2006, NeoMedia’s Board of Directors elected to formally wind down the NCIS business unit. As a result, during February 2006, NeoMedia closed its Lisle, Illinois facility out of which the NCIS business unit was based. NeoMedia does, however, plan to continue servicing existing contracts and customers. 

During the first quarter of 2006, following the completion of the acquisitions of 12Snap AG (“12Snap”), Sponge Ltd. (“Sponge”), Gavitec AG (“Gavitec”), Mobot, Inc. (“Mobot”), and BSD Software, Inc. (“BSD”), as well as the winding down of the NCIS business unit, NeoMedia restructured into the following three business units:

- NeoMedia Mobile (NMM) - encompassing NeoMedia’s physical-world-to-internet and mobile marketing technologies branded under Qode®, 12Snap, Sponge, Gavitec and Mobot. During the second quarter of 2006, NeoMedia rebranded its PaperClick suite of products under the brand name Qode®.

- NeoMedia Telecom Services (NTS) - encompassing the billing, clearinghouse and information management services of Triton Global Business Services, the operating subsidiary of BSD Software, which was acquired in March 2006

- NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair (NMPR) - encompassing the micro paint and auto aftermarket accessories manufactured and distributed by NeoMedia

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 of New York City. The letter of intent calls for completion of the transaction on or before November 24, 2006.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2005 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation, most notably, “License revenue” and “Resales of software and technology equipment and service fees”, which were formerly reported as separate line items on NeoMedia’s consolidated statement of operations, are now condensed into the category entitled, “Technology license, service & products.” This is primarily due to the winding down of the former NCIS business unit and consolidation of revenues relating to the NCIS unit into the NMM unit, as well as the addition of new revenue streams from Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, 12Snap, and BSD that fall into the same general category.

In addition, due to the pending sale of the Micro Paint Repair business unit, results of operations from this unit have been reclassified to restate into the caption “Net loss from Micro Paint business to be sold” for all periods shown, and assets and liabilities relating to this unit are combined into the captions “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale,” respectively. Additionally, the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 has been restated to exclude the cash flows of the discontinued Micro Paint Repair business unit.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As a result of the addition of the operations of Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, 12Snap and BSD, and the issuance of the Series C convertible preferred stock and a convertible debenture during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, NeoMedia is presenting certain significant accounting policies that were not applicable as of the filing of its last annual report for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Stock-based Compensation

Beginning January 1, 2006, NeoMedia began to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected dividends. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model on the date of grant. This option valuation model requires input of highly subjective assumptions. Because NeoMedia’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of fair value of its employee stock options.

Fair Value of Derivatives

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. However, certain other financial instruments, such as warrants and embedded conversion features that are indexed to the Company’s common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not within the control of the Company. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting, even when the terms of the underlying contracts do not provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value through a change to earnings at the close of each reporting period.

The caption “Derivative Financial Instruments” consists of (i) the fair values associated with derivative features embedded in the Series C convertible preferred stock, (ii) the fair values of the detachable warrants that were issued in connection with the preferred stock and the convertible debenture financing arrangements, and (iii) the fair value of detachable warrants that were outstanding prior to the issuance of the preferred stock and the convertible debenture financing arrangements.

Sales Taxes Payable

Sales taxes payable represents amounts collected on behalf of specific regulatory agencies that require remittance on a specified date. These amounts are collected at the time of sales and are detailed on invoices provided to customers. At September 30, 2006 sales taxes payable were $1,178,000, of which $851,000 were delinquent sales taxes assumed by NeoMedia in connection with its acquisitions, certain of which are subject to payment plans. In compliance with the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus on issue number 06-03, NeoMedia accounts for sales taxes on a net basis.

Revenue Recognition 

NeoMedia derives  revenues from the following  sources:  (1) license revenues relating to patents and internally-developed software, (2) hardware, software, and service revenues related to mobile marketing campaign design and implementation, and (3) sale of its proprietary Micro Paint Repair solution.

              (1)   Technology license fees, including Intellectual Property licenses, represent revenue from the licensing of NeoMedia’s proprietary  software  tools and  applications products.  NeoMedia licenses its  development  tools and  application  products pursuant to non-exclusive and  non-transferable  license agreements.  The basis for license fee revenue recognition is substantially governed by American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants  ("AICPA")  Statement of Position 97-2 "Software Revenue  Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), as amended, and Statement of Position 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions”.  License revenue is recognized if persuasive evidence of an agreement  exists,  delivery has occurred, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable.  The Company defers revenue related to license fees for which amounts have been collected but for which revenue has not been recognized in accordance with the above, and recognizes the revenue over the appropriate period.


(2)  Technology service & product revenue, which includes sales of software and technology equipment, service fee and telecom revenue attributed primarily fees for processing Canadian and U.S. terminated call records for telecommunication companies.  These revenue generating items are recognized  based on guidance  provided in  SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  (“SAB”) No. 104,  "Revenue  Recognition  in Financial Statements,"  as amended (SAB 104).  Software and technology equipment resale revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable, delivery of the service has occurred and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Service revenues including maintenance fees for providing system updates for software products, user documentation and technical support are recognized over the life of the contract.  Software  license revenue  from  long-term  contracts  has  been  recognized  on a  percentage  of completion  basis,  along with the  associated  services being  provided.  Telecom revenues are recognized at the time that calls are accepted by the clearing house for billing to customers.  The Company’s recently acquired subsidiaries BSD, Mobot and Gavitec follow this policy. The Company defers revenue related to technology service & product revenue for which amounts have been invoiced and or collected but for which the requisite service has not been provided. Revenue is then recognized over the matching service period.

(3)   Technology service also includes mobile marketing services to its customers which mobile marketing projects are recognized after the completion of the project and accepted by the customer.  All response and messaging based revenues are recognized at the time such responses are received and processed and the Company recognizes its premium messaging revenues on a gross basis based on guidance provided in Emerging Issues Task Force Issues No. 99-19 (EITF 99-19), “Reporting Revenue Gross as Principal or Net as an Agent,” and No. 01-09 (EITF 01-09) “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.”  However, pursuant to EITF 01-09, the Company offsets any consideration given to its customers against revenue. Consulting and management revenues and revenues for periodic services are recognized as services are performed.  NeoMedia uses  stand-alone  pricing to determine an element's  vendor  specific  objective  evidence  (“VSOE”) in order to allocate an arrangement  fee amongst various pieces of a  multi-element  contract.  The Company’s recently acquired subsidiaries 12Snap and Sponge follow this policy. The Company defers revenue related to mobile marketing service fees for which amounts have been invoiced and/or collected but for which revenue has not been recognized. Revenue is then recognized over the matching service period.

8

 
(4)   Revenue for licensing and exclusivity on NeoMedia’s Micro Paint Repair systems is recognized equally over the term of the contract, which is currently one year.  A portion of the initial fee paid by the customer is allocated to licensing, training costs and initial products sold with the system. Revenue is recognized upon completion of training and shipment of the products, provided there is VSOE in a multiple element arrangement.  Ongoing product and service revenue is recognized as products are shipped and services performed.  The Company defers revenue related to micro paint repair licensing for which amounts have been invoiced and/or collected and revenue is then recognized over the estimated contract period, which is currently one year.

In December 2003, the SEC issued SAB 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the “FAQ”) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact NeoMedia’s consolidated financial statements.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, NeoMedia completed acquisitions of Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, 12Snap, and BSD.

Acquisition of Mobot

On February 9, 2006, NeoMedia and Mobot signed a definitive merger agreement, subject to closing conditions, under which NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of Mobot in exchange for $3,500,000 cash and 16,931,493 shares of NeoMedia common stock (2,604,845 of which are being held in escrow for a period of one year from the closing date for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations outlined in the purchase agreement). On February 17, 2006, NeoMedia and Mobot completed the closing requirements and the acquisition became effective. In addition to cash and stock, at closing NeoMedia forgave notes payable totaling $1,500,000 due from Mobot. This amount is considered other additional consideration in the purchase price allocation. 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 between NeoMedia and Mobot also contained a provision that, in the event that NeoMedia’s stock price at the time the consideration shares become saleable is less than $0.3839, NeoMedia 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 $0.10, which was the last sale price on October 23, 2006, NeoMedia would have had a cash liability of $4.8 million resulting from this clause.

Mobot is a pioneer in visual search and recognition technology designed to make marketing effective and innovative using mobile devices. Launched in 2004 to help companies cultivate rewarding relationships with mobile phone users, Mobot gives marketers, content providers and carriers the tools to make it easy for any consumer with a camera phone to interact with their offerings. Mobot’s customers include, amongst others, ELLEgirl magazine, for which Mobot “turned on” advertisements throughout the magazine that linked to content and customer loyalty promotions on the mobile Internet; The Light Agency, who distributes Mobot’s visual search and recognition technology to the U.K. grocery sector through its award-winning mobile phone-based loyalty program with the Sainsburys-owned convenience store chain Jackson’s; and Warner Music Group’s U.S. sales and retail marketing company WEA Corp., running a snap-and-enter contest in music stores for music fans to win tailored offers, samples and discounts.

NeoMedia completed the acquisitions of Mobot, Sponge, Gavitec, and 12Snap in an effort to gain entry into the rapidly evolving global mobile marketing industry.

The actual purchase price was based on cash paid, the fair value of NeoMedia stock around the date of the Mobot acquisition, and direct costs associated with the combination. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Acquisition of Sponge

On February 20, 2006, NeoMedia and Sponge signed a definitive share purchase agreement, subject to closing conditions, under which NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of Sponge in exchange for $6,141,000 cash and 33,097,135 shares of NeoMedia common stock (3,400,490 of which are being held in escrow for a period of one year from the closing date for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations outlined in the purchase agreement). The agreement also calls for Sponge to earn an additional £2,500,000 (approximately $4.4 million) in the form of NeoMedia common stock if, during the two-year period beginning at closing, the Sponge business earns in excess of £1,300,000 (approximately $2.3 million) in net profits. On February 23, 2006, NeoMedia and Sponge 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 $0.384, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the ten days up to and including February 8, 2006. In the event that NeoMedia’s stock price (at the time the consideration shares are saleable) is less than $0.384, NeoMedia is obligated to compensate Sponge shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.384. Assuming a stock price at the time the shares become saleable of $0.10, which was the last sale price on October 23, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $9.4 million resulting from this clause.

Founded in 2001, Sponge has grown to become a U.K. market leader in providing mobile applications to agencies and media groups, and gain recognition as one of Europe’s top independent developers of mobile applications and content. Today, Sponge counts more than 40 agencies, including WPP, Aegis and BBH, as clients, and supplies services for over 100 world-class brands, including Coca Cola®, Heineken® and Diageo. Sponge also supplies a range of mobile services to media groups, including News International, Trinity Mirror, Endemol and IPC. For Walker’s (Frito-Lay) potato chips, Sponge enabled a promotion that offered consumers of Walker’s -- the U.K.’s largest snack brand -- to win an iPod every 5 minutes for 4 weeks, by texting a unique code found on-pack into the Sponge platform. More than 5% of the total U.K. population participated in the campaign, which has been expanded to Belgium and the Netherlands on the basis of its success in the U.K. A total of 23% of the U.K. population interacted with Sponge applications in 2005.

Goodwill was not assigned a life and will be tested for impairment as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

The purchase agreement calls for the management of Sponge to earn an additional £2,500,000 (approximately $4.4 million) in the form of NeoMedia common stock if, during the two-year period beginning on February 23, 2006, the Sponge business earns in excess of £1,300,000 (approximately $2.3 million) in net profits, plus £1 of NeoMedia common stock for each £1 that earnings exceed £1,300,000 during the two-year period. No shares are to be issued pro rata if the earnings target is not met.

At the end of the two-year measurement period (February 22, 2008), if the earnings target is met, the financial impact on NeoMedia of the issuance of additional shares would be a proportionate increase of approximately $4.4 million in the long-term assets acquired from Sponge, with a corresponding increase in depreciation expense from the point of issuance forward. If the earnings target is not met, no additional shares would be issued and there would be no financial impact to NeoMedia. Pursuant to SFAS 141, NeoMedia has not allocated a value to the contingent consideration in the initial purchase price. Accordingly the final purchase price will not be determined until the conclusion of this contingency.

The accompanying consolidated statement of operations presented herein for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, contains the results of operations for Sponge for the period from February 24, 2006, through September 30, 2006. The accompanying consolidated statement of operations presented herein for the three months ended September 30, 2006, contains the results of operations for Sponge for the entire three month period. Pro-forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are presented at the end of this Note 3.
 
Acquisition of Gavitec

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 (1,366,051 of which are being held in escrow until December 31, 2006 for the purpose of securing the indemnification obligations outlined in the purchase agreement). 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 $0.389, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the ten days up to and including February 16, 2006. 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 $0.10, which was the last sale price on October 23, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $3.9 million resulting from this clause.

Acquisition of 12Snap

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. 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, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the ten days up to and including February 9, 2006. 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 $0.10, which was the last sale price on October 23, 2006, NeoMedia would have a cash liability of $14.6 million resulting from this clause.

Acquisition of BSD

On March 21, 2006, NeoMedia completed its acquisition of BSD Software, Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, Canada for 7,123,698 shares of NeoMedia common stock. 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 $0.3467, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the five days preceding March 21, 2006. BSD owns 90% of the outstanding shares of Triton Global Business Services, Inc., a provider of live and automated operator calling services and e-business support, including billing, clearinghouse and information management services, to companies in the telecommunications industry.

NeoMedia completed the acquisitions of BSD for the purpose of increasing its revenue and profit through establishment of a Telecom Services business unit, as well as gaining access to the Canadian telecom industry in order to penetrate that market with the products of the NeoMedia Mobile division.

The actual purchase price was based on cash paid, the fair value of NeoMedia stock around the date of the BSD acquisition, and direct costs associated with the combination. The purchase price has been allocated as follows:

(A) - Adjustment to back out the operations of each subsidiary, which were included in NeoMedia’s consolidated operations for the entire three month period ended September 30, 2006

(B) - Adjustments are to reflect operations of each acquisition from the closing date through September 30, 2006 and amortization of intangible assets for the period January 1, 2006 through the respective closing dates. Results of operations for each acquisition from its respective closing date through September 30, 2006 are included in NeoMedia's operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Closing dates for each acquisition were: Mobot (February 17, 2006); Sponge and Gavitec (February 23, 2006); 12Snap (February 28, 2006); and BSD (March 21, 2006).

(C) - Adjustment for shares that would have been issued in connection with acquisitions if they had occurred on January 1, 2006. Using the stock price around January 1, 2006, the pro forma number of shares that would have been issued was:

The adjustment between the reported and the pro forma number of weighted average shares outstanding is caused by (i) the weighting of the pro forma shares for the entire nine month period ended September 30, 2006, whereas in the reported number the shares were only outstanding from the closing date through September 30, 2006, and (ii) the number of pro forma shares being higher than the actual shares issued due to a lower stock price on the pro forma date of issuance.

Tax Implications of Acquisitions

For income tax purposes, amounts assigned to particular assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combinations are different than amounts used for financial reporting. The differences in assigned values for financial reporting and tax purposes result in temporary differences. In applying SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company is required to recognize the tax effect of these temporary differences and, accordingly, a deferred tax liability has been recognized. The Company determined that its pre-existing and acquired deferred tax assets, and those acquired, including those subject to limitations, were more likely than not to be realized to the extent of the deferred tax liability. The reduction in the valuation allowance resulting in an asset was used to offset the deferred tax liability arising from the business combinations, pursuant to SFAS 109.

In addition, the acquisitions of Sponge, Gavitec, 12Snap, and BSD involve a change of control of foreign entities, and as a result any net operating loss carryforward in existence prior to the acquisition may have limited or no use for NeoMedia.

Letter of Intent to Acquire Hip Cricket

On August 24, 2006, NeoMedia terminated a non-binding letter of intent to acquire HipCricket, Inc. (“HipCricket”), 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 letter of intent, 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, subject to due diligence and signing of a mutually agreeable definitive purchase agreement by both parties.
 
In addition to signing the letter of intent, 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. 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 letter of intent. Due to the termination of the letter of intent, 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 on November 22, 2006. In the event the Notes are not repaid by November 22, 2006, the notes will convert into shares of HipCricket common stock using a valuation of $4.5 million for HipCricket.
