NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1 - General

Business NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NeoMedia”, and also referred to herein as “us”, “we” and “our”), is an innovator and a global market leader in 2D mobile barcode technology and solutions that enable the mobile barcode ecosystem world-wide.  NeoMedia strives to harness the power of the mobile phone with state-of-the art mobile barcode technology. With this technology, mobile phones with cameras become barcode scanners and this enables a range of applications including consumer oriented marketing and advertising, mobile ticketing and couponing, and business-to-business commercial track and trace solutions.

As a technology pioneer in the global mobile barcode industry, our suite of products, services and IP portfolio allows us to offer a comprehensive end-to-end mobile barcode solution. We offer barcode management and infrastructure technology solutions, barcode reader solutions and IP licensing, as well as mobile couponing and ticketing products and services. NeoMedia has been a pioneer in the mobile barcode field since the mid 1990s, and during that time has spearheaded the development of a robust IP portfolio that encompasses many preferred mobile barcode implementations. We have an IP portfolio currently consisting of over sixty issued and pending patents.

Going Concern – We have historically incurred net losses from operations and we expect that we will continue to have 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was $12.4 million and $41.5 million, of which $18.9 million and $47.6 million, respectively, were net gains related to our financing instruments. Net cash used by operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $3.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively. At September 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $232.0 million. We also have a working capital deficit of $65.0 million, of which $47.2 million is related to our financing instruments, including $18.3 million related to the fair value of warrants and those debentures that are recorded as hybrid financial instruments, and $28.9 million related to the amortized cost carrying value of certain of our debentures and the fair value of the associated derivative liabilities. We also have a continuing purchase price guarantee obligation of $4.5 million associated with an acquisition of a business in 2006, which we subsequently sold in 2007.

The items discussed above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We currently do not have sufficient cash or commitments for financing, to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. We will require additional financing in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern.  Our management’s plan is to attempt to secure adequate funding to bridge the commercialization of our patent licensing and barcode ecosystem businesses. 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 these financing sources do not materialize, 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 as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Should our lender, YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) choose not to provide us with continued financing, or if we do not find alternative sources of financing to fund our operations or if we are unable to generate significant product revenues, we only have sufficient funds to sustain our current operations through approximately December 8, 2011.
 
The 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.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and Rule 8.03 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to our financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and for the years then ended, including notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  We operate as one reportable segment.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.

Stock-Based Compensation - FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the grant date fair value of the award.  We account for modifications of the terms of existing option grants as exchanges of the existing equity instruments for new instruments.  The fair value of the modified option at the grant date is compared with the value at that date of the original option immediately before its terms are modified.  Any excess fair value of the modified option over the original option is recognized as additional compensation expense.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reported net income per share and included dilutive instruments in the fully diluted net income per share calculation. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported a net loss per share, and as such, basic and diluted loss per share were equivalent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we reported net income per share and included dilutive instruments in the fully diluted net income per share calculation.

Note 3 – Financing

At September 30, 2011, our financing transactions with YA Global, an accredited investor, included shares of our Series C preferred stock issued in February 2006, Series D preferred stock issued in January 2010, a series of twenty eight secured convertible debentures issued between August 2006 and September 2011 and various warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. All of our assets are pledged to secure our obligations under these 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. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $1,862,500 has been assigned or distributed by YA Global to other holders, which represents approximately 5% of YA Global’s holdings.

Conversions –Our preferred stock and convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock. However, the conversion of each of these securities is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 9.99% beneficial ownership of our common stock, unless the holder waives their right to such limitation. Cumulatively, as of September 30, 2011, the holders of our Series C preferred stock have converted 16,567 shares of the original 22,000 shares of Series C preferred stock into 204,815,226 shares of common stock and holders of our Series D preferred stock have converted 1,399 shares of the original 25,000 shares of Series D preferred stock into 10,938,232 shares of common stock. YA Global has converted $888,000 of principal and accrued interest on those debentures into 76,334,719 shares of our common stock.  Holders, other than YA Global, converted $1,399,759 of principal and accrued interest on the debentures into 114,224,052 shares of common stock.

Debenture Interest Payments– On December 23, 2010 and again on February 18, 2011, we made payments of $1.0 million each of accrued interest, related to the March 27, 2007 debenture, to YA Global.
 
Secured Debentures - The underlying agreements for each of the twenty eight debentures issued to YA Global are essentially the same, except in regard to the interest rate, varying conversion prices per share, and the number of warrants that were issued in conjunction with each of the debentures. The 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, 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 which have been executed in connection with each of the 2010 and 2011 financings.

2011 Financing Transactions - Between January 10, 2011and September 15, 2011 we entered into seven Securities Purchase Agreements to issue and sell nine debentures to YA Global in the aggregate principal amount of $3,950,000. The debentures are convertible, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 95% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the 60 trading days preceding the date of conversion. The debentures bear interest at 14% and mature on July 29, 2012. The debentures provided net proceeds of $3,685,000 after payment of $265,000 in fees. We have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the debentures at a redemption premium of 10%, plus accrued interest.  In connection with the six debentures issued prior to June 30, 2011, we also issued warrants to YA Global to purchase 1,250,000, 1,250,000, 1,000,000, 1,000,000, 1,000,000 and 3,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively.  In addition, we issued warrants to YA Global to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock on September 15, 2011. The warrants issued from January 2011 through April 2011 initially had an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and the warrants issued subsequently, an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  However, as a result of the anti-dilution protection in these warrants, the subsequent issuance of additional debentures to YA Global reset the exercise price of the warrants to 95% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the 60 days preceding the issuance date of the debentures. All warrants issued during 2011 have a term of five years.

All debentures with YA Global contain provisions for acceleration of principal and interest upon default. Certain debentures also contain default interest rates and conversion prices, as reflected in the table above.
 
In our evaluation of these financing transactions, we concluded that the conversion features were not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to the variable conversion rate, and they did not otherwise meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Because equity classification was not available for the conversion features, we elected to bifurcate the compound derivatives, and carry them as derivative liabilities, at fair value. Each compound derivative consists of (i) the embedded conversion feature, (ii) down-round anti-dilution protection features, and (iii) default, non-delivery and buy-in puts which were combined into one compound instrument that is carried as a component of derivative liabilities.

Fair Value Considerations - In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we determined that the conversion features of the Series C and Series D preferred stock, and the Debentures met the criteria of embedded derivatives and that the conversion features of these instruments required bifurcation and accounting as derivative instrument liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative liability, including the embedded conversion option, are charged or credited to income each period. As permitted by FASB ASC 815-15-25-4, Recognition of Embedded Derivatives, we elected not to bifurcate the embedded derivatives in the March 2007, August 2007, April 2008 or May 2008 Debentures and accordingly, these convertible instruments are being carried in their entirety at their fair values, with the changes in the fair value of the debentures charged or credited to income each period.

Derivative financial instruments arising from the issuance of convertible financial instruments are initially recorded, and continuously carried, at fair value. Upon conversion of any of the convertible financial instruments, the carrying amount of the debt, including any unamortized premium or discount, and the related derivative instrument liability are credited to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued and no gain or loss is recognized.

Bifurcated Embedded Derivative Instruments – Series C and Series D preferred stock and Convertible Debentures - For financings recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-25-1, 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.

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 in the agreement, the conversion price adjusts to that lower amount.

The assumptions included in the calculations are highly subjective and subject to interpretation.  Assumptions used as of September 30, 2011 included exercise estimates/behaviors and the following other significant estimates:

Equivalent amounts reflect the net results of multiple modeling simulations that the Monte Carlo Simulation methodology applies to underlying assumptions.

Due to the variable component of the conversion price, rapid fluctuations in the trading market price may result in significant variations to the calculated conversion price. For each debenture, we analyze the ratio of the conversion price (as calculated based on the percentage of VWAP for the appropriate look back period) to the trading market price for a period of time equal to the term of the debenture to determine the average ratio for the term of the note. Each quarter, the ratio in effect on the date of the valuation is compared with the average ratio over the term of the debenture to determine if the calculated conversion price is representative of past trends or if it is considered unrepresentative due to a large fluctuation in the stock price over a short period of time. If the calculated conversion price results in a ratio that deviates significantly from the average ratio over the term of the agreement, the average ratio of the conversion price to the trading market price is then multiplied by the current trading market price to determine the variable conversion price for use in the fair value calculations. This variable conversion price is then compared with the fixed conversion price and, as required by the terms of the debentures, the lower of the two amounts is used as the conversion price in the Monte Carlo Simulation model used for valuation purposes. On September 30, 2011, the fixed conversion price for each of the debentures was equal to or higher than the calculated variable conversion price. Accordingly, the variable conversion price was used in the Monte Carlo Simulation model. This analysis is performed each quarter to determine if the calculated conversion price is reasonable for purposes of determining the fair value of the embedded conversion features (for instruments recorded under FASB ASC 815-15-25-1) or the fair value of the hybrid instrument (for instruments recorded under FASB ASC 815-15-25-4).

Hybrid Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value – 2007 and 2008 Convertible Debentures - The March 2007, August 2007, April 2008 and May 2008 convertible debentures are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-25-4 and the entire hybrid instrument was initially recorded at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value charged or credited to income each period. These financial instruments are valued using the common stock equivalent approach. The common stock equivalent is calculated using the shares indexed to the debentures valued at the market price of our stock and the present value of the coupon.

The shares indexed to the debentures are calculated using the variable conversion price based on the 125 day look-back period and the present value of the coupon from inception of the debentures to the revised maturity date of July 29, 2012.

Current Period Valuations - On January 5, 2010, the terms of all of the debentures issued prior to that date were modified to increase the look-back period used to calculate the variable conversion price per share for all debentures to a period of 125 days and to extend the stated maturity date to July 29, 2012, which increased our future anticipated cash flows related to those instruments.  Because that increase exceeded the threshold prescribed by FASB ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the modification of the amounts due under these instruments was accounted for as an extinguishment. Accordingly, the original convertible debentures were considered extinguished and the revised convertible debentures were recorded at their fair value, resulting in an extinguishment loss of approximately $5.6 million.
 
For our Series C and Series D preferred stock and our convertible debentures, the following table reflects the face value of the instruments and, as appropriate, either their amortized cost carrying value and the fair value of the separately-recognized compound embedded derivative or, for those debentures recorded in their entirety at fair value, their fair value, as well as for each of the instruments the number of common shares (in thousands) into which the instruments are convertible as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
