independent accountants in accordance with Rule 10-01(d) of the Securities and

we are able to pay our registered independent accountants for their
review.

Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Due
to our current lack of cash resources, we were unable to obtain a review of the
interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009, by our registered independent accountants in accordance with Rule 10-01(d)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. We plan to obtain such
a review as soon as we are able to pay our registered independent accountants
for their review.
1.
Interim Period Reporting
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet of Neonode Inc. (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2008 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. The
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are
not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full 2009 fiscal
year.
The
accompanying financial data as of September 30, 2009 and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, and 2008 has been prepared by us, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
contained in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes contained in our audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
Liquidity
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the ordinary course of business. The report of our independent registered
public accounting firm in respect of the 2008 fiscal year includes an
explanatory going concern paragraph which raises substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern, which indicates an absence of obvious or
reasonably assured sources of future funding that will be required by us to
maintain ongoing operations. We have incurred net operating losses and negative
operating cash flows since inception. As of September 30, 2009, we had an
accumulated deficit of $78.2 million and working capital deficit (current assets
less current liabilities, not including non-cash warrant liability) of $807,000.
Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties frequently
encountered by companies in the early stages of operations. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, technical and quality problems in
new products, ability to raise additional funds, credit risks and costs for
developing new products. Our ability to generate revenues in the future will
depend substantially on our ability to enter into customer contracts with
customers and to raise additional funds through debt or equity. In December 2008, we
completed a private placement offering of $1.1 million of our preferred stock.
During the period from August 25, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we completed
a private placement of convertible notes and stock purchase warrants totaling
$837,000. We received an additional $122,000 in cash proceeds related to the
private placement of convertible notes and stock purchase warrants in October
2009 for a total $959,000 cash receipts as of October 14, 2009.
There is
no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on
acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to secure additional funding
and/or our stockholders, if required, do not approve such financing, we would
have to curtail certain expenditures which we consider necessary for optimizing
the probability of success of developing new products and executing our business
plan. If we are unable to obtain additional funding for operations, we may not
be able to continue operations as proposed, requiring us to modify our business
plan, curtail various aspects of our operations or cease operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of
assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue as a going concern.
September
30, 2009 Convertible Debt Financing Transaction
During
the period from August 25, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we completed a
private placement of convertible notes totaling $837,000 that can be converted,
at the holder’s option, into 41,843,200 shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.02 per share. The convertible note holders have the right
to have the conversion price adjusted to equal the lower stock price if we issue
stock or convertible notes at a lower conversion price than $0.02 during the
period that the notes are outstanding. These convertible notes are due on
December 31, 2010 and bear an annual interest rate of 7%, payable on June 30 and
December 31 of each year that the convertible notes are outstanding. In addition
we issued 20,921,600 three-year warrants to the convertible note holders with an
exercise price of $0.04 per share. The warrants may be exercised and converted
to common stock, at the warrant holder’s option, beginning on the six-month
anniversary date of issuance until the warrant expiration date. We are not
obligated to register the common stock related to the convertible debt or the
warrants.
December
31, 2008 Refinancing and Capital Raising Transaction
Series A Preferred
Stock:
On
December 31, 2008, we issued 112,190.40 shares of Series A Preferred stock that
at the date of issuance had a conversion rate of one share of common stock for
each share of Series A Preferred stock to investors in a private placement
transaction that raised $1,121,904. On March 31, 2009, our
shareholders approved a resolution to increase the conversion ratio to 480.63
shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. As of
September 30, 2009, investors in the private placement transaction exchanged
103,000 of the 112,190.40 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to them and
were issued 49,504,890 shares of our common stock.
On
December 31, 2008, we issued 244,265.56 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that
at the date of issuance had a conversion rate of one share of common stock for
each share of Series A Preferred Stock to holders of $6.2 million of convertible
and promissory notes in exchange for the surrender of the Convertible Notes by
the note holders. As of September 30, 2009, convertible debt holders exchanged
171,380.62 of the 244,265.56 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to them
and were issued 82,370,667 shares of our common stock.
On
December 31, 2008, we acquired AB Cypressen nr 9683 (Cypressen) (renamed Neonode
Technologies AB) by issuing 495,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock that at
the date of issuance had a conversion rate of one share of common stock for each
share of Series A Preferred stock to the related party stockholders of AB
Cypressen: Iwo Jima SARL, Wirelesstoys AB, and Athemis Ltd. (the
Cypressen Stockholders). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement,
upon the closing of the transaction, Neonode Technologies AB became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of September 30, 2009, the prior
owners of Neonode Technologies AB exchanged all 484,596.96 of the 495,000 shares
of Series A Preferred stock issued to them and were issued 232,911,837 shares of
our common stock.
In
addition, on December 31, 2008, we issued 4,067.02 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to Ellis International LP (Ellis) as full consideration for certain
services supplied by Ellis to the Company. Upon conversion, the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock will convert into 1,954,732 shares of our
common stock. As of September 30, 2009, Ellis has not exchanged the Series A
Preferred stock.
Series
B Preferred Stock:
On December 31, 2008, we exchanged
outstanding warrants to purchase 12,255,560 shares of our common stock by waving
the warrant exercise price and issuing 92,795.22 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to warrant holders. At the date of issuance, these warrants had a
conversion rate of one share of common stock for each share of Series B
Preferred Stock. On March 31, 2009, our shareholders approved a resolution to
increase the conversion ratio to 132.07 shares of common stock for each share of
Series B Preferred stock. As of September 30, 2009, the holders of the Series B
Preferred stock exchanged 75,528.92 of the 92,795.22 shares of Series
B Preferred stock issued to them and were issued 9,975,104 shares of our common
stock.

On April
24, 2009, we initiated the process of allowing the shareholders of our preferred
stock to convert the Series A and B Preferred stock to shares of our common
stock. In order to convert the preferred stock to common stock each preferred
stock shareholder is required to submit the preferred stock certificate to our
transfer agent and request conversion to common stock. The conversion to common
stock is not mandatory and shareholders who own preferred stock may chose not to
convert their preferred stock to shares of our common stock.
Neonode
AB Bankruptcy
On
December 9, 2008, Neonode AB, our former wholly owned subsidiary located in
Sweden, filed for liquidation under the bankruptcy laws in Sweden. Under Swedish
bankruptcy law, effective with the bankruptcy filing we no longer have an
ownership interest in Neonode AB, and as such, we are no longer responsible for
the liabilities of Neonode AB and we no longer have title or an ownership
interest in the assets of Neonode AB. The Swedish bankruptcy court appointed a
Swedish legal firm as receiver with the expressed duty to liquidate all the
assets of Neonode AB and enter into final settlements with the creditors of
Neonode AB.
We
account for our investment in Neonode AB in accordance with the AICPA Statement
of Position, SOP 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code,
and Accounting Research Bulletin, ARB 51, Consolidate Financial
Statements. ARB 51 precludes consolidation of a majority-owned
subsidiary where control does not rest with the majority owners, for instance,
where the subsidiary is in bankruptcy. Accordingly, we deconsolidated
Neonode AB from our consolidated financial statements on the date it filed for
bankruptcy, December 9, 2008. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008 include the accounts of Neonode AB. Our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets do not include the accounts of Neonode AB
at December 31, 2008 or September 30, 2009.
2. Summary of significant accounting
policies
Fiscal
Year
Our
fiscal year is the calendar year.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and Neonode AB. The Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the accounts of
Neonode Inc. and Neonode Technologies AB. The Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 include the accounts of
Neonode Inc. and Neonode Technologies AB. All inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires making estimates and assumptions that affect, at
the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Significant estimates include but are not limited to collectibility
of accounts receivable, estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and the fair
value of securities such as options and warrants issued for stock-based
compensation and in certain financing transactions.
Segment
information
We have
one reportable segment. The segment is evaluated based on consolidated operating
results. We currently operate in one industry segment; the development of touch
screen technology. In 2008 we also operated in the development and selling of
multimedia mobile phones. To date, we have carried out substantially all of our
operations through our subsidiary in Sweden.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
The
following are the expected effects of recent accounting pronouncements. We are
required to analyze these pronouncements and determine the effect, if any, that
the adoption of these pronouncements would have on our results of operations or
financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new
standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling
interests in partially owned subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive
adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The adoption
of this standard did not have an impact on the financial results of the Company
on the date of adoption.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133, as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures
about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative
instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more
complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the
derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives
during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced
disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and its related
interpretations (together SFAS 133), and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15,
2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on our
financial position.
In April
2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-05, Determining whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock, (EITF 07-05).
EITF 07-05 provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or
embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered
indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criterion of
the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133. EITF 07-05 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and early application is not permitted. The adoption of EITF 07-05
did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as
the fair value of any financial instruments and related conversion features are
not significant.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. SFAS 162 is effective on November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS
162 did not have any financial impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt
and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires retrospective application for all periods presented.
The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a significant impact on our financial
position and operating results, as the embedded conversion features of our
convertible debt instruments had been accounted for as a
derivative.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP 115-2 and 124-2”). This FSP
changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment of debt
securities is other-than-temporary. The FSP requires other-than-temporary
impairments to be separated into the amount representing the decrease in cash
flows expected to be collected from a security (referred to as credit losses),
which is always recognized in earnings, and the amount related to other factors
(referred to as noncredit losses), which may be either recognized in other
comprehensive income or earnings, depending on facts and circumstances. The
noncredit loss component of the impairment may only be classified in other
comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the
holder of the security concludes that it does not intend to sell the security,
and (b) the holder concludes that it is more likely than not that the
holder will not be required to sell the security before the security recovers
its value. If these conditions are not met, the noncredit loss must also be
recognized in earnings. When adopting the FSP, an entity is required to assess
and, if necessary, to record a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning
of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit loss component of a
previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from retained earnings to
accumulated other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 are effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 115-2
and 124-2 as of July 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did
not have any financial impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP
157-4”). This FSP provides additional guidance on estimating fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly
decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. The
FSP also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a
transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 157-4 as of July 1,
2009, and its application did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 (“FSP 107-1”) and APB
28-1 (“APB 28-1”), Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which enhances
consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value
disclosures. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 107-1 and APB
28-1 on July 1, 2009 and its application did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements
are issued, and specifically requires the disclosure of the date through which
an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS 165
is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, or
for our quarter ended September 30, 2009, and will be applied
prospectively.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM
and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162 (“SFAS 168”) (the “Codification”). The Codification, which
was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and
related literature. The Codification eliminates the GAAP hierarchy contained in
SFAS No. 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other
literature is considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. We will adopt the Codification for our quarter ending December 31,
2009. There will be no change to our consolidated financial statements due to
the implementation of the Codification.

Senior
Convertible Secured Notes
At
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had $139,000 of three-year
promissory notes maturing on August 31, 2010, bearing the greater of 8% or LIBOR
plus 3% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $3.50 per share. The Senior Convertible Secured Notes are
due August 26, 2010 and are classified as a current liability on our balance
sheet as of September 30, 2009.
September
30, 2009 Convertible Debt Financing Transaction
During
the period from August 25, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we completed a
private placement of convertible notes totaling $837,000 that can be converted,
at the holder’s option, into 41,843.200 shares of our common stock at a
conversion price of $0.02 per share. The convertible note holders have the right
to have the conversion price adjusted to equal the lower stock price if we issue
common stock or convertible notes at a lower conversion price than $0.02 during
the period that the notes are outstanding. These convertible notes are due on
December 31, 2010 and bear an annual interest rate of 7%, payable on
June 30 and December 31 of each year that the convertible notes are outstanding.
In addition, we issued 20,921,600 three year warrants to the
convertible note holders with an exercise price of $0.04 per share. The warrants
may be exercised and converted to common stock, at the warrant holder’s option,
beginning on the six month anniversary date of issuance until the warrant
expiration date. Mr. Per Bystedt, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
a company controlled by Mr. Bystedt invested a total of $116,000 of the $837,000
raised in the private placement financing transaction. Mr. Bystedt and a company
controlled by Mr. Bystedt received a total of 2,892,300 warrants to purchase our
common stock and the convertible notes can be converted into a total of
5,784,600 shares of our common stock. We are not obligated to register the
common stock related to the convertible debt or the warrants.
Accounting
for Debt Issued with Detachable Stock Purchase Warrants
We
account for debt issued with stock purchase warrants in accordance with APB
Opinion 14, Accounting for
Convertible Debts and Debts issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, if the
warrants meet equity classification. We allocated the proceeds of the debt
between the debt and the detachable warrants based on the relative fair values
of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants themselves, if the
warrants are equity instruments. At each balance sheet date we make a
determination if these warrants instruments are classified as liabilities or
equity. The warrants were classified as equity pursuant to the
guidance provided in paragraph 17 of EITF 00-19. The warrants were recorded
among “Common Stock Additional Paid in Capital” and are valued at fair value at
the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
As of September 30, 2009, all of the 20,921,600 outstanding warrants issued in
conjunction with the September 30, 2009 convertible debt financing transaction
were classified as equity.
At
September 30, 2009, the fair value of the warrants to purchase 20,921,600 shares
of our common stock issued pursuant to the September 30, 2009 convertible debt
financing transaction at a price of $0.04 per share amounted to $794,000 and is
included on our balance sheet in “Common Stock Additional Paid in Capital” and
as a “Debt Discount.” The “Debt Discount” is an offset to “Long Term Notes
Payable and Leases.” The $794,000 debt discount will be amortized to interest
expense over the 15 month term of the September 30, 2009 convertible debt using
the effective interest rate method, beginning October 1, 2009. Recording the
reduction to the debt discount each period will increase the interest expense
and accrete the Notes Payable to the $837,000 face value of the notes on the
notes due date of December 31, 2010. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes
option pricing model at September 30, 2009 were a term of 3 years, volatility of
226.79% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.00%.
Accounting
for Debt Issued with an Embedded Conversion Feature
The
embedded conversion feature of the convertible debt issued on September 30, 2009
meets the definition of a derivative financial instrument and is classified as a
liability in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The note holders have the
right to convert the debt into shares of our common stock, and the notes include
price protection whereby these notes are protected for 15 months or as long as
the notes remain outstanding against future private placements made at lower
share prices, and therefore, the total number of shares of our common stock that
the convertible notes can be convertible into is not fixed. The embedded
conversion features are revalued on each balance sheet date and marked to market
with the adjusting entry to “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants ” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
The fair
value of the embedded conversion feature of the debt issued in conjunction with
the September 30, 2009 convertible debt financing transaction is $1,568,000 at
September 30, 2009 and is included in “Non-cash items related to debt
discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion features
and warrants” on our Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and is include on our Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009
in “Embedded Derivatives of Notes.” The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes
option pricing model at September 30, 2009 were a term of 1.27 years, volatility
of 299.5% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.0%.
Senior
Convertible Secured August Bridge Notes
(All
of the Senior Convertible Secured August Bridge Notes were converted to share of
our Series A Preferred Stock on December 31, 2008)
On August
8, 2007, we made an offering of convertible notes pursuant to a Note Purchase
Agreement (August Bridge Notes or Bridge Notes), dated as of July 31, 2007,
amended most recently on March 24, 2008. The August Bridge Notes were originally
convertible into the units described below. We received $3,250,000 from the
August Bridge Note offering. The August Bridge Notes originally matured on
December 31, 2007; however, the maturity date of these notes was extended to
December 31, 2008.
The
August Bridge Notes were due December 31, 2008, and bore 8% per annum interest
and were convertible into purchase units that are made up of a combination of
shares of our common stock, convertible debt and warrants. The note holders had
a right to convert their notes plus accrued interest anytime before December 31,
2008 into purchase units. Each purchase unit of $3,000 is comprised of one
$1,500 three-year promissory note bearing the higher of 8% or LIBOR plus 3%
interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion
price of $3.50 per share, 600 shares of our common stock and 5 year warrants to
purchase 696.5 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.27 per share. Prior
to the conversion of the Bridge Notes into shares of our Series A Preferred
stock on December 31, 2008, for accounting purposes, the embedded conversion
feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative and was recorded
as liability. This was because the holder of the notes could convert debt and
accrued interest, where interest is at the greater of 8% or LIBOR plus 3%, and
therefore, the total number of shares into which the instrument could be
convertible was not fixed. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature was
bifurcated from the debt host instrument and treated as a liability, with the
offset to debt discount. The related warrants were also recorded as a liability
for the same reason.
The
revalued liability of the embedded conversion feature related to the August
Bridge Notes amounted to $1.2 million at September 30, 2008 which is an increase
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 of $16,000 and a decrease of $0.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The value of the embedded
conversion feature was revalued at each period-end and the liability is adjusted
with the change recorded as “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The assumptions
used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model at September 30, 2008 were a
term of 0.25 years, volatility of 131% and a risk-free interest rate of
0.9%.
On
December 31, 2008, all of the August Bridge Notes plus accrued interest were
converted into 123,641 shares of our Series A Preferred stock. The
liability related to the embedded conversion feature was extinguished on
December 31, 2008 when the August Bridge Notes were converted to
equity.
August
Bridge Notes Extension Warrants
(All
of the Senior Convertible Secured August Bridge Notes Extension Warrants were
converted to share of our Series B Preferred Stock on December 31,
2008)
1st
Extension Warrants
On
September 26, 2007, the August Bridge Note holders were given three year
warrants to purchase up to 219,074 shares (1st
Extension Warrants) of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share in
exchange for an agreement to extend the term of their notes from the original
date of December 31, 2007 until June 30, 2008. The 1 st
Extension Warrants were classified as a liability pursuant to the guidance
provided in paragraph 17 of EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own
Stock. Prior to the conversion of the 1st
Extension Warrants into shares of our Series B Preferred stock on December 31,
2008, the fair value of the 1 st
Extension Warrants was recorded as a debt issuance cost and was allocated to
interest expense based on the effective interest rate method over the nine month
term of the notes with the offsetting entry to a liability. The liability for
the 1st
Extension Warrants issued to the August Bridge Note holders was revalued at the
end of each reporting period and the change in the liability is recorded as
“Non-cash items
related to debt discounts and deferred financing fee and the valuation of
conversion features and warrants.”
On
December 31, 2008, all of the 1st
Extension Warrants related to the Bridge Notes were exchanged into 1,659 shares
of our Series B Preferred stock. The liability related to the 1 st
Extension Warrants was extinguished on December 31, 2008 when the Extension
Warrants were converted to equity.
At
September 30, 2008, the revalued liability related to the Bridge Notes 1 st
Extension Warrants to purchase up to 219,074 shares of our common stock at a
price of $3.92 per share amounted to $6,000 resulting in a decrease of $15,000
and $602,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008,
respectively, and is included in “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fee and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants.”
The value of the 1st Extension Warrants was revalued at
each period-end and the liability was adjusted with the change recorded as
“Non-cash
items related to debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of
conversion features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. The assumptions used for the
Black-Scholes option pricing model when calculating the value of the
1st Extension Warrants at September 30,
2008 were a term of 2.0 years, volatility of 169.71% and a risk-free interest
rate of 2.0%.
2nd
Extension Warrants
On May
21, 2008, the August Bridge Note holders that had not converted their debt were
given additional three year warrants (2nd
Extension Warrants) to purchase up to 510,294 shares of our common stock at a
price of $1.45 per share in exchange for an agreement to extend the term of
their notes from June 30, 2008 until December 31, 2008. The 2nd
Extension Warrants were classified as a liability pursuant to the guidance
provided in paragraph 17 of EITF 00-19. The liability for the 2nd
Extension Warrants issued to the August Bridge Note holders was revalued at the
end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and
the change in the liability is recorded as “Non-cash
financing items.”
At
September 30, 2008, the liability of the 2nd Extension Warrants
amounted to $695,000 resulting in a $1,000 increase and a $147,000 decrease for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and is included
in “Non-cash financial items.” The assumptions used for the
Black-Scholes option pricing model when calculating the value of the 2nd
Extension Warrants at September 30, 2008 were a term of 2.6 years, volatility of
156.01% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.2%.
On
December 31, 2008, all of the 2nd
Extension Warrants related to the Bridge Notes were exchanged for 3,864 shares
of our Series B Preferred stock. The liability related to the 2nd
Extension Warrants was extinguished on December 31, 2008 when the Extension
Warrants were converted to equity.
Option
to Invest in August Bridge Notes
(All
of the Option to Invest in August Bridge Notes Warrants were converted to share
of our Series B Preferred Stock on December 31, 2008)
In
conjunction with the issuance of the August Bridge Notes, we issued an investor
an option to invest up to $750,000 under the same terms and conditions as the
August Bridge Notes. The initial fair value of the option to invest was recorded
as a deferred financing fee was allocated to interest expense using the
effective interest rate method over the term of the Bridge Notes with the offset
recorded as other current liability. The liability for the option to purchase
additional August Bridge Notes was revalued at the end of each reporting period
and the change in the liability is recorded as “Non-cash items relating to debt
discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion features
and warrants.”
The fair
value of the option to purchase $750,000 of the August Bridge Notes originally
issued on August 8, 2007 and due to expire on December 31, 2007 was extended in
conjunction with a proposed financing transaction until March 15, 2008 and
revalued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used
when calculating the fair value of the extended option to invest were a term of
0.21 years, volatility of 99% and interest rate of 3.36%. The fair value of the
extension totaled $475,000 and was recorded as a deferred financing fee and was
to be allocated to interest expense using the effective interest rate method
over the 12 month remaining term of the August Bridge Notes with the offset
recorded as other current liability. When this proposed financing transaction
was abandoned in February 2008, the $475,000 value of the revalued option
recorded as deferred financing fees was charged to “Financing fees and other
non-cash financing items.”
On March,
31, 2008, the expiration date of the option was extended again to June 30, 2008.
The value of the extension of this option was calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and amounted to $43,000. The assumptions used for the
Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.27 years, volatility of 72%
and interest rate of 1.24%. The $43,000 fair value of the warrants was recorded
as a liability with the corresponding amount recorded as a non-cash finance
expense.
On April
17, 2008, the option holder exercised $375,000 of the original $750,000 option
amount and was issued a note, at the same terms and conditions as the August
Bridge Notes. The option to invest the $375,000 unexercised portion was extended
until December 31, 2008 in conjunction with the May 2008
financing. The fair value of the unexercised option to purchase
$375,000 of the August Bridge Notes was revalued based on the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The assumptions used when calculating the fair value of
the extended option to invest were a term of 0.5 years, volatility of 107% and
interest rate of 1.23%. The fair value of the extension totaled $324,000 and was
recorded as a deferred financing fee to be allocated to interest expense using
the effective interest rate method over the six months remaining term of the
August Bridge Notes with the offset recorded as other current liability. The
exercise of $375,000 of the original $750,000 option reduced the liability for
the option by $314,000.
On May
21, 2008, as part of the May 21, 2008 warrant repricing financing transaction,
the $375,000 of Bridge Note debt was cancelled and was converted into
295,275 shares common stock and 590,550 5-year warrants at an exercise price of
$1.45 per share. The fair value of the 5-year warrants totaled $1.1 million and
was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions
used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 5 years,
volatility of 110.28% and interest rate of 3.09%. The warrants were recorded
among “Liability for warrants to purchase common stock” and are valued at fair
valued at the end of each reporting period.
On
December 31, 2008, all of the 590,550 5-year warrants were exchanged for 4,471
shares of our Series B Preferred stock. The option to invest the remaining
unexercised $375,000 of the original $750,000 option to invest terminated on
December 31, 2008 without the option holder exercising the remaining unexercised
portion of the option. The liability related to the five-year warrants was
extinguished on December 31, 2008 when the five-year warrants were converted to
equity.
Senior
Convertible Secured Notes September 26, 2007 Financing
Convertible
Notes
(All of the Senior Convertible
Secured Notes, except for $139,000, were converted to shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock on December 31, 2008)
On
September 26, 2007, we sold $5.7 million of securities in a private placement,
comprised of $2.9 million of three-year promissory notes bearing the greater of
8% or LIBOR plus 3% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common
stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 952,499 shares of our common
stock, and 5-year warrants to purchase 1,326,837 shares of our common stock at a
price of $3.92 per share.
In
addition, on September 26, 2007, certain holders of the August Bridge Notes
converted an aggregate of $454,900 of debt and accrued interest into units
offered in the September 26, 2007 financing. The debt holders of the August
Bridge Notes that were converted received (i) $227,450 three-year promissory
notes bearing the higher of 8% or LIBOR plus 3% interest per annum, convertible
into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, (ii)
75,817 shares of our common stock, and (iii) 5-year warrants to purchase 105,612
shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share. The fair
value of the 5-year warrants totaled $340,000 and was calculated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The total
issuance of securities and debt on September 26, 2007 to investors and Bridge
Note holders who converted was (i) $3.1 million of three-year promissory notes
bearing the higher of 8% or LIBOR plus 3% interest per annum, convertible into
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, (ii)
1,028,316 shares of our common stock, and (iii) 5-year warrants to purchase
1,432,449 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share.
The
embedded conversion feature of the convertible debt issued on September 26, 2007
met the definition of a derivative financial instrument and was classified as a
liability in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. The note holders had the
right to convert the debt and accrued interest and the interest rate is
calculated at the greater of 8% or LIBOR plus 3%, and therefore, the total
number of shares of our common stock that the convertible notes can be
convertible into was not fixed. Prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes
into shares of our Series A Preferred stock on December 31, 2008, the embedded
conversion features were revalued on each balance sheet date and marked to
market with the adjusting entry to “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
The
liability of the embedded conversion feature of the debt issued in conjunction
with the September 26, 2007 financing was $0 at September 30, 2008, because the
company’s right to repurchase the notes expired on September 25, 2008, resulting
in a $1,000 and $1.4 million decrease for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008, compared to the fair value of the embedded conversion
feature at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
On
December 31, 2008, $3.1 million of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes plus
accrued interest were converted into 120,624 shares of our Series A Preferred
stock. After conversion, $139,000 of the Senior Secured convertible Notes, due
August 31, 2010, remain outstanding. The liability, except for the $139,000 that
remains outstanding related to the Senior Secured Convertible Notes, was
extinguished on December 31, 2008 when the Senior Secured Convertible Notes were
converted to equity.
Warrants
(All of the Warrants, except for
5,804, related to the Senior Convertible Secured Notes were converted to shares
of our Series B Preferred Stock on December 31, 2008)
The
5-year warrants to purchase 1,432,449 shares of our common stock at a price of
$3.92 per share issued in conjunction with the September 26,
2007 financing met the definition of a liability pursuant to the provisions of
EITF No. 00-19. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the conversion of the Warrants into
shares of our Series B Preferred stock on December 31, 2008, the fair value of
the Warrants was recorded as a liability. The liability for the Warrants issued
to Senior Convertible Secured Notes from September 2007 was revalued at the end
of each reporting period and the change in the liability is recorded as “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” for the three and nine months ending September 30,
2008.
The fair
value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the September 26, 2007
financing at September 30, 2008 increased to $1.5 million compared to $1.4
million and $4.0 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively, and the offsetting amount of $51,000 and $2.5 million was recorded
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 in “Non-cash
charges for conversion features and warrants.” The assumptions used for the
Black-Scholes option pricing model at September 30, 2008 were a term of 4.0
years, volatility of 138.87% and a risk-free interest rate of 2.6%.
All of
the warrants, except for warrants to purchase 5,804 shares of our common stock,
related to the Senior Convertible Secured Notes from September 2007 were
exchanged for 8,994 shares of our Series B Preferred stock at December 31, 2008.
The liability related to the Senior Secured Convertible Notes
Warrants was extinguished on December 31, 2008 when the Senior
Secured Convertible Notes Warrants were converted to equity.
At
December 31, 2008, The remaining outstanding 5,804 warrants no longer met the
classification of liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19 since the
anti-dilution feature related to September 26, 2007 financing expired when the
face value of the remaining outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Notes dropped
below $2,000,000. The fair value of the warrants was measured at year
end and the change in the fair value is included in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations in the “Non-cash items related to debt discounts and deferred
financing fees and the valuation of conversion features and warrants.” The fair
value of $174.00 is included in equity as of December 31, 2008.
Placement
Agent Warrants
(All of the Placement Agent Warrants
related to the Senior Convertible Secured Notes were converted to shares of our
Series B Preferred Stock on December 31, 2008)
As part
of the September 26, 2007 Private Placement, we issued 142.875 unit purchase
warrants to Empire Asset Management Company (“Empire”) for financial advisory
services provided in connection with the placement. Each unit purchase warrant
has a strike price of $3,250 and is comprised of a $1,500 three-year promissory
note, bearing the higher of 8% or LIBOR plus 3% interest per annum, convertible
into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 500
shares of our common stock and a five-year warrant to purchase 696.5 shares of
our common stock at a purchase price of $3.92 per share. At the date of issuance
the unit purchase warrants met the definition of a liability pursuant to the
provisions of EITF No. 00-19. The fair value of the warrants was calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the conversion of certain
of the Warrants into shares of our Series B Preferred stock on
December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Warrants was recorded as a liability.
The liability for the Warrants issued to Empire were revalued at the end of each
reporting period and the change in the liability is recorded as “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants.”
At
September 30, 2008, the fair value of the unit purchase warrants issued to
Empire decreased to $124,000 from $132,000 and $509,000 at June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, with the adjusting offset of $8,000
and $385,000 recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 in
“Non-cash items
related to debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of
conversion features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing
model at September 30, 2008 were a term of 4.0 years, volatility of 114% and a
risk-free interest rate of 2.63%.
On
December 31, 2008, all of the placement agent unit purchase warrants related to
the Senior Convertible Secured Notes were exchanged for 5,990 shares, at no
exercise price, of our Series B Preferred stock. The liability related to the
placement agent unit purchase warrants was extinguished on December 31, 2008
when the unit purchase warrants were converted to equity.
Anti-Dilution
Feature and Price Protection
Common
Stock
The
September 26, 2007 financing agreement contains anti-dilution features for each
of the common stock, convertible debt and the warrants whereby these instruments
were protected separately for 18 months against future private placements made
at lower share prices. On March 4, 2008, we issued 1,800,000 shares of common
stock to investors of a private placement at a price of $2.50 per shares. The
issuance of these shares triggered the anti-dilution feature related
to common stock issued in the September 26, 2007 financing
transaction. As a result we were required to issue an additional
207,492 shares of our common stock to investors in the September 26, 2007
financing. The fair value of the anti-dilution feature was calculated at
September 30, 2008 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions
used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.5
years, volatility of 215.28% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.6%. The value of
the anti-dilution feature at September 30, 2008 increased to $2.9 million
compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2008 and $1.5 million at March 31, 2008,
respectively, and the offsetting amount of $0.3 million and $1.4 million was
recorded in “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008. Because we reduced the outstanding Senior Secured Convertible
Notes to less than $2.0 million, the anti-dilution features contained in the
financing agreement are no longer outstanding as of December 31,
2008.
Warrants
The
2,118,599 of the outstanding warrants related to prior financing transactions
contain price protection whereby these instruments are protected separately for
the life of the warrants. Under the price protection clause, if we issue
warrants, with certain exceptions, at a lower exercise price than the remaining
outstanding warrants, the exercise price of such warrants would be reduced to
the lower price. The warrant holders would not be entitled to additional shares
of common stock, only the reduction in the exercise price. At December 31, 2008,
the fair value of the warrants totaled $67,000 and is included in
equity. In September 2009, we issued stock purchase warrants to
investors in the September 2009 convertible debt financing transaction at $0.04
per share and this issuance triggered the price protection provision related to
the 2,118,599 previously outstanding price protected warrants, and as such, we
reduced the exercise price of the 2,118,599 warrants to $0.04 per
share.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt
and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires retrospective application for all periods
presented.
FASB also
issued EITF 07-05, Determining
Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own
Stock, which addresses the first part of paragraph 11A of APB
14-1 as to whether or not a derivative is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This EITF is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires
retrospective application for all periods presented. EITF 07-05 requires that
warrants with downside ratchet to be accounted for as liabilities that
previously had been accounted for as equity under SFAS 133. Prior to EITF
07-05, these ratchet provisions were only evaluated under EITF 00-19, and
because these ratchet provisions are generally within the company’s control,
they did not trigger liability or derivative accounting. Now under EITF
07-05 they do.
On
January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP APB 14-1 and EITF 07-05. We
determined that the 2,118,599 outstanding warrants that include anti-dilution
features fall under the guidance of EITF 07-05 and the fair value of the
warrants must be recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each reporting
period with the changes in the fair value recorded as income/expense in the
statement of operations.
At
September 30, 2009, the fair value of the outstanding warrants is $2.2 million
and has been recorded as a liability recorded in “Embedded derivatives of
warrants” with the corresponding reduction in the previously recorded liability,
net of $67,000, that was previously recorded in equity, recorded in “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a
decrease in liability related to the fair value of the outstanding warrants of
$676,000 and $695,000, respectively. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes
option pricing model at September 30, 2009 were a term of 3.6 years, volatility
of 205.77% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.0%.
5. Stockholders’
Equity
On
September 4, 2008, we received a summons to appear in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York because one of our investors in
previous private placements transactions, Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”),
alleged that we failed to issue certain stock certificates pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the September 2007 investment subscription agreements. Alpha
asked the court to award them $734,650 in damages plus attorneys fees. Although
we believed the claim had no merit, we signed a definitive settlement agreement
on January 21, 2009 and issued Alpha 1,096,997 shares of our common stock as
settlement in full. On February 13, 2009, a notice was sent to the Court by
Alpha’s legal counsel requesting dismissal of the action. The fair
value of the common stock issued to Alpha totaled $54,000 and was
accrued as a legal settlement expense and a liability at December 31, 2008. On
January 21, 2009, we issued the common stock to Alpha and the $54,000 accrued
liability was reclassified to common stock additional paid in capital
..
We
converted approximately $53,000 of our accounts payable to 792,912 shares of our
common stock on January 26, 2009. The fair value of the shares of common stock
issued to settle the accounts payable was $23,000 based on our stock price on
January 26, 2009. We recorded $23,000 as common stock additional paid in capital
and the difference of $30,000 is include in “Gain on Conversion and
Forgiveness of Accounts Payable” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations.
Series
A Preferred Stock
On
December 31, 2008, we issued 112,190.40 shares of Series A Preferred stock that
at the date of issuance had a conversion rate of one share of common stock for
each share of Series A Preferred stock to investors in a private placement
transaction that raised $1.1 million. On March 31, 2009, our
shareholders approved a resolution to increase the conversion ratio to 480.63
shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. As of
September 30, 2009, investors in the private placement transaction exchanged
103,000 of the 112,190.40 shares of Series A Preferred stock that had been
issued to them and were issued 49,504,840 shares of our common stock. We
reclassified $103,000 of the amount included in Series A Preferred stock in the
Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to Common
Stock and Common Stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and we
reclassified $181,000 of the amount included in Series A Preferred stock in the
Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to Common
Stock and Additional Paid In Capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
The fair
value of the conversion of the 244,265.56 shares of Series A Preferred shares
issued to the convertible debt holders that will be converted to a total of
117,401,356 shares of our common stock was $4.7 million based on our stock price
on March 31, 2009, the date our shareholders approved the increased conversion
ratio. On December 31, 2008, the $2.4 million fair value of the
Series A preferred issued prior to the shareholder approval was included in
Series A Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets. On March 31, 2009, we recorded the $2.3 million
increase in the fair value as an increase in Common Stock Additional Paid In
Capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a Deemed Dividend to
Preferred Stockholders on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009,
convertible debt holders exchanged 171,380,62 of the 244,265.56 shares of Series
A Preferred stock that had been issued to them and were issued 82,370,667 shares
of our common stock. We reclassified $1.7 million of the amount included in
Series A Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets to Common Stock Additional Paid In Capital on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The fair
value of the conversion of the 495,000 shares of Series A Preferred shares
issued to the related parties to acquire Cypressen that will be converted to a
total of 237,911,185 shares of our common stock was $9.5 million based on our
stock price on March 31, 2009, the date our shareholders approved the
increased conversion ratio. On December 31, 2008, the $12,000 fair
value of the Series A preferred issued to the related parties prior to the
shareholder approval is included in Series A Preferred stock in the
Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets . The
ownership of the stock vests on a straight line basis over 18 months. The $9.5
million fair value of the common stock that will be issued upon conversion is
amortized to compensation expense at the rate of $1.6 million per quarter for
six quarters beginning January 1, 2009. For the three and nine months ending
September 30, 2009, $1.6 and $4.8 million, respectively, is included in Common
Stock Additional Paid In Capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
and as compensation expense included in our General and
Administrative expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

the 495,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock that had been issued to them and
were issued 232,911,837 shares of our common stock. We reclassified $8,000 of
the amount included in Series A Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to Common Stock Additional Paid In
Capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30,
2009.
Series
B Preferred Stock:
On
December 31, 2008, we issued 92,795.94 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to
warrant holders to convert their warrants to equity. On March 31, 2009, our
shareholders approved a resolution increasing the conversion ratio from
one-to-one to 132.07 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred
Stock. Upon conversion, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into
a total of 12,255,560 shares of our common stock.
The fair
value of the conversion of the 92,795.94, shares of Series B Preferred shares
issued to the warrant holders that will be converted to12,255,560 shares of our
common stock at a later date was $490,000 based on our stock price on March 31,
2009, the date our shareholders approved the increased conversion
ratio. On December 31, 2008, the $2,000 fair value of the Series B
preferred issued prior to the shareholder approval is included in Series B
Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets . We recorded the $488,000 million increase in the fair value as
an increase in Common Stock Additional Paid In Capital on the Condensed

on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the holders of the Series B
Preferred stock exchanged 75,528.92 of the 92,795.22 shares of Series B
Preferred stock that had been issued to them and were issued 9,975,104 shares of
our common stock. We reclassified $75.00 of the amount included in Series B

B Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets to Additional Paid In Capital on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2009.
Employee
Stock Purchase Warrants
We
granted 15,660,000 stock purchase warrants to employees or members of our Board
during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The stock purchase
warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.02 per share, which was the market
price on the date of grant, August 25, 2009. These stock purchase
warrants have a seven-year term and are vested on the date of grant. The stock
underlying the stock purchase warrants granted to employees or members of our
Board has not been registered for resale. The $615,000 fair value of the stock
purchase warrants granted to employees or members of our Board is calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is included in stock based
compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Common
Stock Additional Paid In Capital as of September 30, 2009.
Investor
Stock Purchase Warrants
At
September 30, 2009, the fair value of the warrants to purchase 20,921,600 shares
of our common stock issued pursuant to the September 30, 2009 convertible debt
financing transaction at a price of $0.04 per share amounted to $794,000 and is
included in our Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets as “Common Stock Additional Paid In Capital” and as a ”Debt Discount” as
of September 30, 2009.
6. Fair Value Measurement of Assets and
Liabilities
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
which became effective for us on January 1, 2008. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not
mandate any new fair-value measurements and is applicable to assets and
liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value under other
accounting pronouncements. Implementation of this standard did not have a
material effect on our results of operations or consolidated financial
position.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)
FAS No. 157-1,
Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its
Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing
Transactions (FSP 157-1), which became effective for the
company on January 1, 2008. This FSP excludes FSAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases,
and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements from the provisions of
FAS 157.
Also in
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, which delayed our application of SFAS 157 for certain
nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. In this regard,
the major categories of assets and liabilities for which we will not apply the
provisions of FAS 157 until January 1, 2009, are long-lived assets
that are measured at fair value upon impairment and liabilities for asset
retirement obligations.
Our
implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on
January 1, 2008, had no effect on our existing fair-value measurement
practices but requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs we use to
value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are
described as follows:
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities. We had no level 1 assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or
indirectly. We had no level 1 assets or liabilities.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs. We valued our the fair value of warrants and the Series A
and Series B Preferred stock that all were without observable market values and
the valuation required a high level of judgment to determine fair value (level 3
inputs).
The
following table shows the classification of our liabilities and equity at
September 30, 2009 that are subject to fair value measurements and the
roll-forward of these liabilities and equity from December 31,
2008:

7.Stock-Based
Compensation
We have
several approved stock option plans for which stock options and restricted stock
awards are available to grant to employees, consultants and directors. All
employee and director stock options granted under our stock option plans have an
exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the
grant date. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for
any options, as vesting for all outstanding option grants was based only on
continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of our outstanding
stock options and restricted stock awards are classified as equity
instruments.
Stock
Options
As of
September 30, 2009, we had four equity incentive plans:

The 1996
Plan terminated effective January 17, 2006 and the 1998 Plan terminated
effective June 15, 2008, and although we can no longer issue stock options out
of the plans, the outstanding options at the date of termination will remain
outstanding and vest in accordance with their terms. Options granted under the
Director Plan vest over a one to four-year period, expire five to seven years
after the date of grant and have exercise prices reflecting market value of the
shares of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the
1996, 1998 and 2006 Plans are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from
the date of grant, vest in various installments over a one to four-year period
and have exercise prices reflecting the market value of the shares of common
stock on the date of grant.
The
Neonode Plan has been designed for participants (i) who are subject to Swedish
income taxation (each, a “Swedish Participant”) and (ii) who are not subject to
Swedish income taxation (each, a “Non-Swedish Participant”). We will not grant
any additional equity awards out of the Neonode Plan. The options issued under
the plan to the Non-Swedish Participant are five year options with 25% vesting
immediately and the remaining vesting over a three year period. The options
issued to Swedish participants are vested immediately upon
issuance.
We did
not grant any stock options to employees or members of our Board of Directors
(Board) during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2009. We did not
grant any options to employees or members of our Board during the three months
ended September 30, 2008. We granted options to purchase 570,000 shares of our
common stock to employees or members of our Board during the nine month periods
ending September 30, 2008. The fair value of stock-based compensation related to
the employee and director stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model as of the grant date of the underlying stock
options.
We
granted 15,660,000 stock purchase warrants to employees or members of our Board
during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The stock purchase
warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.02 per shares, which was the market
price on the date of grant, August 25, 2009. These stock purchase
warrants have a seven-year term and are vested on the date of grant. The stock
underlying the stock purchase warrants granted to employees or members of our
Board has not been registered for resale. The $615,000 fair value of the stock
purchase warrants granted to employees or members of our Board is calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is included in stock based
compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009.
Salary
expense for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2009 and
2008 includes a stock compensation charges relating to the above
issuance of employee and director stock options and stock purchase warrants. The
fair value of the options at the date of issuance of the Swedish options was
calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The amount allocated to
the unvested portion is amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining
vesting period.
The stock
compensation expense reflects the fair value of the vested portion of options
for the Swedish and Non-Swedish participants at the date of issuance, the
amortization of the unvested portion of the stock options, less the option
premiums received from the Swedish participants. Employee and director
stock-based compensation expense related to stock options in the accompanying
condensed statements of operations is as follows (in thousands):

No

The fair
value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, even though this model was developed to estimate the fair
value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting
restrictions, which differ significantly from our stock options. The
Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock
price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the
calculated values. The expected term and forfeiture rate of options granted is
derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment
termination behavior, as well as expected behavior on outstanding options. The
risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the
corresponding period of grant. The expected volatility is based on the
historical volatility of our stock price. These factors could change in the
future, which would affect fair values of stock options granted in such future
periods, and could cause volatility in the total amount of the stock-based
compensation expense reported in future periods.
8. Warranty
Obligations and Other Guarantees:
The
following is a summary of our agreements that we have determined are within the
scope of FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others.
We have agreed to indemnify each of our
executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences
arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacity. The
term of the indemnification period is for the officer's or director's lifetime.
The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make
under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that should enable us to recover a portion of future
amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the
estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and have no
liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008, respectively.
We enter
into indemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in the
ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors,
customers and landlords.
Under these provisions we generally indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified
party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of
our activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party's
activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include
indemnifications relating to representations made by us with regard to
intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive
termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future
payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is
unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle
claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the
estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no
liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008, respectively.
On
December 9, 2008, Empire Asset Management (“Empire”), a broker dealer that acted
as the Company’s financial advisor and exclusive placement agent in previous
private placement transactions, initiated a law suit against the Company in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Company misrepresented
the success of its business to induce Empire’s customers to invest in the
Company. Empire is seeking compensatory damages in an unspecified
amount for the harm allegedly suffered. The Company believes that the
action has no merit and intends to defend vigorously against the action. The
Company’s Directors and Officer (D&O) insurance provider has extended
coverage and will cover the costs of legal representation, subject to payment by
the Company of the retention amount. Our D&O insurance policy has a $150,000
retention provision and we have recorded a liability related to the potential
payment of the retention under our D&O insurance policy totaling $150,000 at
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
On May
11, 2009, Mr. David Berman initiated a law suit against the Company in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Corporation
misrepresented the success of its business to induce Mr. Berman to invest in the
Company. Mr. Berman, who was a client of Empire, invested $549,860 in the
Company’s private placement offerings on March 4, 2008 and May 16, 2008 and
purchased an additional 162,900 shares totaling $251,082 in the aftermarket. The
Company believes that the action has no merit and intends to defend vigorously
against the action. The Company’s D&O insurance provider has extended
coverage and will cover the costs of legal representation, subject to payment by
the Company of the retention amount.
We are the secondary guarantor on the sublease of our
previous headquarters until March 2010. We believe we will have no liabilities
on this guarantee and have not recorded a liability at September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively.
9. Net Loss Per
Share
Basic net
loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 was computed by dividing the net loss for the relevant period by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.
However,
common stock equivalents of approximately 0 and 0 stock options and 38.7 million
and 13.3 million warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the diluted
earnings per share calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.
Common
stock equivalents of approximately 0 and 13,041 stock options and 38.7 million
and 13.3 million warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the diluted
earnings per share calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

10. Segment
Information
We have
one reportable segment, as defined in SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. Prior to December 9, 2008, the date
Neonode AB filed for bankruptcy, we operated in one industry segment: the
development of intellectual property related to optical infrared touchscreen and
the sale of associated products and licenses that encompass this technology. In
December 2008, prior to our subsidiary, Neonode AB, filing for bankruptcy, we
transferred the patents, copyrights and all technology intellectual property to
Neonode Inc. pursuant to an intercompany debt pledge agreement and we continue
to develop and license our touchscreen technology. We had carried out
substantially all of our operations through our subsidiary Neonode AB located in
Sweden, although we did carry out some development activities together with our
manufacturing partner in Malaysia. The majority of the sales of our mobile
phones were concentrated in Europe.
We did
not have any sales to individual customers in excess of 15% of net sales for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.
11. Subsequent Events
Subsequent
to September 30, 2009, we received and additional $122,000 in cash
proceeds related to the private placement of convertible notes and stock
purchase warrants that can be converted, at the holder’s option, into 6,105,951
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share and
3,052,976 stock purchase warrants that have an exercise price of $0.04 per
share. The convertible note holders have the right to have the conversion price
adjusted to equal the lower stock price if we issue stock or convertible notes
at a lower conversion price than $0.02 during the period that the notes are
outstanding. These convertible notes are due on December 31, 2010 and bear an
annual interest rate of 7%, payable on June 30 and December 31 of
each year that the convertible notes are outstanding. The warrants may be
exercised and converted to common stock, at the warrant holders option,
beginning on the six month anniversary date of issuance until the warrant
expiration date. We are not obligate to register the common stock related to the
convertible debt or the warrants.
Item 2. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward
Looking Statements
The
following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are
not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Readers are
cautioned that the forward-looking statements reflect our analysis only as of
the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update these
statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from the
results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that
might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those risks and
uncertainties set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" below.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1of
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Overview
We
specialize in user-friendly touchscreen interface solutions for hand-held
devices, based on our innovative optical technology and products, which we refer
to as zForce™, ClearTouch™ and SAT™. Our mission is to make the easiest
(to use and integrate), best (functionality and design) and most cost effective
touch screen solution for handheld and small devices such as Digital
Picture Frames (DPF), Mobile Internet Devices (MID), eBook readers, Personal
Navigation Devices (PND) or Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Mobile Phones and
Notebook PC’s to name a few. We work with Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEM’s) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODM’s) to embed our touch screen
solutions into their products. These OEM’s and ODMs
license our touch screen technology on a volume based per unit royalty basis. We
assist the OEM’s and ODM’s to install and test our touch screen solution in
their products. The OEM’s and ODM’s are responsible for final overall
development, manufacturing and selling of their branded products that
use our touch screen technology.
Through
our former wholly owned subsidiary, Neonode AB, we developed our touchscreen
technology and an optical touchscreen mobile phone product, the Neonode N2, that
provided a unique user experience that did not require any keypads, buttons or
other moving parts. On December 1, 2008, we transferred the Neonode AB
intellectual property including patents, copyrights and trademarks from Neonode
AB to Neonode Inc. pursuant to an intercompany debt pledge agreement. On
December 9, 2008, Neonode AB filed for liquidation under the Swedish bankruptcy
laws. Neonode AB had a total of approximately 10,000 N2 mobile phones
in inventory at the time of its bankruptcy filing. Effective with Neonode AB’s
bankruptcy filing on December 9, 2008, Neonode Inc. is no longer in the mobile
phone business and there are no known financial obligations related to the
accounts payable or other debts of Neonode AB for which Neonode Inc. has
responsibility. The Swedish bankruptcy court continues to pursue sales
opportunities for Neonode AB’s remaining inventory of N2 mobile phones. Although
we may be the beneficiary of a portion of any sales proceeds from such sales,
the majority of any future sales proceeds from the sale of the N2s in Neonode
AB’s inventory will be distributed to the creditors of Neonode AB by the Swedish
bankruptcy court.
We have
not generated sufficient cash from the sale of our products or licensing of our
technology to support our operations and have incurred significant losses. The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm in respect of the
2008 fiscal year includes an explanatory going concern paragraph which raises
substantial doubt to our ability to continue as a going concern, and which
indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding
that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. We have incurred net
operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. During the
twelve months ended December 31, 2008, we raised approximately $9.6 million net
cash though the sale of our securities, most recently $1.1 million on December
31, 2008. During the period from August 25, 2009 through September
30, 2009, we completed a private placement of convertible notes and stock
purchase warrants totaling $837,000. We received an additional $122,000 in cash
proceeds related to the private placement of convertible notes and stock
purchase warrants in October 2009 for a total $959,000 cash receipts as of
October 14, 2009. Unless we are able to increase our revenues and decrease
expenses substantially in addition to securing additional sources of financing,
we will not have sufficient cash to support our operations through the end of
2009.
Our
success is dependent on our obtaining sufficient capital or operating cash flows
to fund our operations and to development of our technology and products, and on
our bringing such technology and products to the worldwide market. To achieve
these objectives, we will be required to raise additional capital through public
or private financings or other arrangements. It cannot be assured that such
financings will be available on terms attractive to us, if at all. Such
financings may be dilutive to stockholders and may contain restrictive
covenants.
In
addition to the immediate risks relating to our ability to continue as a going
concern and to obtain funding under the current market conditions, we are
subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages
of development. See “Risk Factors” in our Form 10K for the year ended December
31, 2008. Principal risks include risks relating to the uncertainty of growth in
market acceptance for our technology, a history of losses since inception, our
ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies, the costs to
defend, as well as risks of losing, patents and intellectual property rights, a
reliance on our future customers’ ability to develop and sell products that
incorporate our technology, the concentration of our operations in a limited
number of facilities, the uncertainty of demand for our technology in certain
markets, our ability to manage growth effectively, our dependence on key members
of our management and development team, our limited experience in conducting
operations internationally, and our ability to obtain adequate capital to fund
future operations.
Background
We
account for our investment in Neonode AB in accordance with the AICPA Statement
of Position, SOP 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code,
and Accounting Research Bulletin, ARB 51, Consolidate Financial
Statements. ARB 51 precludes consolidation of a majority-owned
subsidiary where control does not rest with the majority owners, for instance,
where the subsidiary is in bankruptcy. Accordingly, we deconsolidated
Neonode AB from our consolidated financial statements on the date it filed for
bankruptcy, December 9, 2008. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2008 include the accounts of Neonode AB. Our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets do not include the accounts of Neonode AB
at December 31, 2008 or September 30, 2009.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and Neonode AB. The Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the accounts of
Neonode Inc. and Neonode Technologies AB. The Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 include the accounts of
Neonode Inc. and Neonode Technologies AB. All inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue
Recognition
Neonode
AB Mobile Phone Business and Licensing of Our Intellectual
Property:
We
recognize revenue from product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has
passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of products to our
customers. We estimate expected sales returns and record the amount as a
reduction of revenues and cost of sales at the time of shipment. Our policy
complies with the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We
recognize revenue from the sale of our mobile phones when all of the following
conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement with the
customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our products
have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (3) we have
completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue
to which we are entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) we believe it is
probable that we will be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To
the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer
recognition of revenue. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit
worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is
not recognized until we have determined that collectibility is reasonably
assured.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our revenues generated by the
sale of Neonode AB’s mobile phones have consisted primarily of sales to
distributors. From time to time, we allowed certain distributors price
protection subsequent to the initial product shipment. Price protection may
allow the distributor a credit (either in cash or as a discount on future
purchases) if there is a price decrease during a specified period of time or
until the distributor resells the goods. Future price adjustments are difficult
to estimate since we do not have a sufficient history of making price
adjustments. Therefore, we deferred recognition of revenue (in the balance sheet
line item “deferred revenue”) derived from sales to these customers until they
resold our products to their customers. Although revenue recognition and related
cost of sales were deferred, we recorded an accounts receivable at the time of
initial product shipment. As standard terms were generally FOB shipping point,
payment terms were enforced from the shipment date, and legal title and risk of
inventory loss passed to the distributor upon shipment.
For
products sold to distributors with agreements allowing for price protection and
product returns, we recognized revenue based on our best estimate of when the
distributor sold the product to its end customer. Our estimate of such
distributor sell-through was based on information received from our
distributors. Revenue was not recognized upon shipment since, due to various
forms of price concessions, the sales price was not substantially fixed or
determinable at that time.
Revenue
from products sold directly to end-users though our web sales channels were
generally recognized when title and risk of loss has passed to the buyer, which
typically occurs upon shipment. Reserves for sales returns are estimated based
primarily on historical experience and were provided at the time of
shipment.
Generally,
our customers were responsible for the payment of all shipping and handling
charges directly with the freight carriers.
Hardware
Product:
We may
from time-to-time develop custom hardware products for our customers that
incorporate our touchscreen technology. Our policy is to recognize revenue from
hardware product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the
customer, which is generally upon shipment of our hardware products to our
customers. We will defer and recognize service revenue over the contractual
period or as services are rendered. We will estimate expected sales returns and
record the amount as a reduction of revenue and cost of hardware and other
revenue at the time of shipment. Our policy complies with the guidance provided
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
No. 104, Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit
worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is
not recognized until we have determined that collectibility is reasonably
assured. Our sales transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars or Euros. The
software component of our hardware products is considered
incidental. Therefore, we do not recognize software revenue related
to our hardware products separately from the hardware product sale. To date, we
have not sold any hardware products.
When
selling hardware, we expect our agreements with OEMs to incorporate clauses
reflecting the following understandings:
-
|
all
prices are fixed and determinable at the time of
sale;
|
-
|
title
and risk of loss pass at the time of shipment (FOB shipping
point);
|
-
|
collectibility
of the sales price is probable (the OEM is creditworthy, the OEM is
obligated to pay and such obligation is not contingent on the ultimate
sale of the OEM’s integrated
solution);
|
-
|
the
OEM’s obligation to us will not be changed in the event of theft or
physical destruction or damage of the
product;
|
-
|
we
do not have significant obligations for future performance to directly
assist in the resale of the product by the OEMs;
and
|
-
|
there
is no contractual right of return other than for defective
products.
|
Software
Products:
We may
derive revenues from the following sources: (1) software, which includes our
touch screen, Neno™ software licenses and (2) engineering services, which
include consulting. We will account for the licensing of software in accordance
with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of
Position (SOP) 97-2, Software
Revenue Recognition. SOP 97-2 requires judgment, including whether a
software arrangement includes multiple elements, and if so, whether
vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists for those
elements. These documents include post delivery support, upgrades, and similar
services. To date, we have not sold or licensed any software
products.
For
software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or
customization of the underlying software, we will recognize new software license
revenue when: (1) we enter into a legally binding arrangement with a customer
for the license of software; (2) we deliver the products; (3) customer payment
is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant
uncertainties; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. We will initially defer
all revenue related to the software license and maintenance fees until such time
that we are able to establish Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) for
these elements of our software products. Revenue deferred under these
arrangements will be recognized to revenue over the expected contract term. We
will also continue to defer revenues that represent undelivered post-delivery
engineering support until the engineering support has been completed and the
software product is accepted.
Engineering
Services:
We may
sell engineering consulting services to our customers on a flat rate or hourly
rate basis. We will recognize revenue as the engineering services stipulated
under the contact are completed and accepted by our customers. To date, we have
not sold any engineering services.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Our
policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to make required payments. Credit limits are
established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability
of each customer. Where appropriate, we obtain credit rating reports and
financial statements of our customers when determining or modifying their credit
limits. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivable
balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance
becomes past due, we initiates dialogue with the customer to determine the
cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its
financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration
in the customer’s operating results or financial position, or other material
events impacting its business, we record a specific allowance to reduce the
related receivable to the amount we expect to recover. Should all efforts fail
to recover the related receivable, we will write-off the account. We also record
an allowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the
length of time the receivables are past due and our historical collection
experience with customers.
Research
and Development
Research
and Development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are
accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 2, Accounting for
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs consists
mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy costs
such as testing, certifying, and measurements.
Long-lived
Assets
We assess
any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in
accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. If the estimated undiscounted cash flow
related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter
than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of these assets.
The impairment is based on the estimated discounted cash flow associated with
the asset.
Stock
Based Compensation Expense
We
account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with
SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R). We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in
accordance with SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments
that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services, which require that such equity instruments be
recorded at their fair value and the unvested portion is re-measured each
reporting period. When determining stock based compensation expense involving
options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and
warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Accounting
for Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants
We
account for debt issued with stock purchase warrants in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and
Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants, if they meet equity
classification. We allocate the proceeds of the debt between the debt and the
detachable warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt security
without the warrants and the warrants themselves. Certain warrants are
classified as a liability pursuant to the guidance provided in paragraph 17 of
EITF 00-19. The warrants were recorded among “Liability for warrants to purchase
common stock” and are valued at fair valued at the end of each reporting period
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As of December 31, 2008, all of
the outstanding warrants are classified as equity. As of September 30, 2009, the
20,921,600 stock purchase warrants issued in conjunction with the September 2009
Convertible Debt financing transaction had a fair value of $794,000 and this
amount is included in equity as “Common Stock Additional Paid in
Capital.”
Liability for
Warrants and Embedded Derivatives
We do not
enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation.
However, from time to time, we enter into contracts that are not
considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but that include
embedded derivative features. Such embedded derivatives are assessed at
inception of the contract and every reporting period, depending on their
characteristics, and are accounted for as separate derivative financial
instruments pursuant to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (together, SFAS 133), if
such embedded conversion features, if freestanding, would meet the
classification of a liability. SFAS 133 requires that we analyze all material
contracts and determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives. Any
such embedded conversion features that meet the above criteria are then
bifurcated from their host contract and recorded on the consolidated balance
sheet at fair value and the changes in the fair value of these derivatives
are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations as an
increase or decrease to Non-cash charges for conversion features and
warrants.
Similarly,
if warrants meet the classification of liabilities in accordance with EITF
00-19, Accountingfor Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock , then the
fair value of the warrants is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at
their fair values, and any changes in such fair values are recorded each period
in the consolidated statements of operations as an increase or decrease to
“Non-cash charges for conversion features and warrants.”
In May
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt
and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires retrospective application for all periods
presented.
FASB also
issued EITF 07-05, Determining
Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own
Stock, which addresses the first part of paragraph 11A of APB
14-1 as to whether or not a derivative is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF 07-05
requires Warrants with downside ratchet to be accounted for as liabilities that
previously had been accounted for as equity under SFAS 133. Prior to EITF
07-05, these ratchet provisions were only evaluated under EITF 00-19, and
because these ratchet provisions are generally within the company’s control,
they did not trigger liability or derivative accounting. Now under EITF
07-05 they do.
On
January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP APB 14-1 and EITF 07-05. We
determined that the 2,124,403 outstanding warrants that include anti-dilution
features fall under the guidance of EITF 07-05 and the fair value of the
warrants must be recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each reporting
period with the changes in the fair value recorded as income/expense in the
statement of operations.
Income
taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. We estimate income taxes based on rates in
effect in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the
financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax
positions and expectations about future taxable income. Valuation allowances are
recorded against net deferred tax assets where, in our opinion, realization is
uncertain based on the “not more likely than not” criterion of SFAS
109.
Based on
the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax
assets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. In the event we were to
determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the
future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the
period such a determination was made. The provision for income taxes represents
the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus income taxes payable for the
current period.
Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes , which provisions included a two-step approach to recognizing,
de-recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance
with SFAS 109. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no
increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a decrease in the
related reserve of the same amount. Therefore upon implementation of FIN 48, we
recognized no material adjustment to the January 1, 2007 balance of
retained earnings. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had no
unrecognized tax benefits.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
The
following are expected effects of recent accounting pronouncements. We are
required to analyze these pronouncements and determined the effect, if any, the
adoption of these pronouncements would have on our results of operations or
financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new
standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling
interests in partially owned subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive
adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The adoption
of this standard did not have an impact on the financial results of the Company
on the date of adoption.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133, as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures
about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative
instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more
complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the
derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives
during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced
disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and its related
interpretations (together SFAS 133), and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15,
2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on our
financial position.
In April
2008, the FASB issued EITF 07-05, Determining whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock, (EITF 07-05).
EITF 07-05 provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or
embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered
indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the
scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of FAS 133. EITF 07-05 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and early application is not permitted. The adoption of EITF 07-05 did not have
a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as the fair value
of any financial instruments and related conversion features are not
significant.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. SFAS 162 is effective on November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS
162 did not have any financial impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt
and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires retrospective application for all periods presented.
The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a significant impact on our financial
position and operating results, as the embedded conversion features of our
convertible debt instruments had been accounted for as a
derivative.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP 115-2 and 124-2”). This FSP
changes existing guidance for determining whether an impairment of debt
securities is other-than-temporary. The FSP requires other-than-temporary
impairments to be separated into the amount representing the decrease in cash
flows expected to be collected from a security (referred to as credit losses),
which is always recognized in earnings, and the amount related to other factors
(referred to as noncredit losses), which may be either recognized in other
comprehensive income or earnings, depending on facts and circumstances. The
noncredit loss component of the impairment may only be classified in other
comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met: (a) the
holder of the security concludes that it does not intend to sell the security,
and (b) the holder concludes that it is more likely than not that the
holder will not be required to sell the security before the security recovers
its value. If these conditions are not met, the noncredit loss must also be
recognized in earnings. When adopting the FSP, an entity is required to assess
and, if necessary, to record a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning
of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit loss component of a
previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from retained earnings to
accumulated other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 are effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 115-2
and 124-2 as of July 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did
not have any financial impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the
Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (“FSP
157-4”). This FSP provides additional guidance on estimating fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly
decreased in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability. The
FSP also provides additional guidance on circumstances that may indicate that a
transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 157-4 as of July 1,
2009, and its application did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 107-1 (“FSP 107-1”) and APB
28-1 (“APB 28-1”), Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which enhances
consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value
disclosures. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted FSP 107-1 and APB
28-1 on July 1, 2009 and its application did not have a material impact on
our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS
165”) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events
that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are
issued, and specifically requires the disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS 165 is
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, or for
our quarter ended September 30, 2009, and will be applied
prospectively.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM
and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162 (“SFAS 168”) (the “Codification”). The Codification, which
was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and
related literature. The Codification eliminates the GAAP hierarchy contained in
SFAS No. 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other
literature is considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. We will adopt the Codification for our quarter ending December 31,
2009. There will be no change to our consolidated financial statements due to
the implementation of the Codification.
Results
of Operations
On
December 9, 2008, our former wholly owned Swedish subsidiary, Neonode AB, filed
for liquidation under the bankruptcy laws of Sweden. Pursuant to the Swedish
bankruptcy laws, we are no longer responsible for the debt and liabilities nor
do we have any ownership interest in the assets of Neonode AB as of the
effective date of the bankruptcy filing, December 9, 2008. The Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows appearing elsewhere in this
Periodic Report on Form 10-Q and the discussion of our financial condition and
results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
appearing below include the results of operations of our former wholly owned
subsidiary, Neonode AB, only from January 1, 2008 through September 30, 2008.
This is in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position, SOP 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code, and Accounting Research
Bulletin, ARB 51, Consolidate
Financial Statements. ARB 51 precludes consolidation of a
majority-owned subsidiary where control does not rest with the majority owners,
for instance, where the subsidiary is in bankruptcy. Accordingly, we
deconsolidated Neonode AB from our consolidated financial statements on the date
it filed for bankruptcy, December 9, 2008.
On
December 29, 2008, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with AB Cypressen
nr 9683 (“Cypressen”) (renamed Neonode Technologies AB), a Swedish engineering
company, and the stockholders of Cypressen: Iwo Jima SARL,
Wirelesstoys AB, and Athemis Ltd. (the Cypressen Stockholders), pursuant to
which we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cypressen
in exchange for the issuance of 495,000 shares of Neonode Inc. Series A
Preferred Stock to the Cypressen Stockholders. Pursuant to the
terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the closing of the transaction,
Neonode Technologies AB (nee: Cypressen) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. Neonode’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its new
wholly owned subsidiary, Neonode Technologies AB. The Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations and Cash Flows appearing elsewhere in this Periodic
Report on Form 10-Q and the discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 appearing
below include the results of operations of our new wholly owned subsidiary,
Neonode Technologies AB, only from January 1, 2009 through September 30,
2009.
Net
Sales
We did
not have any net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009. Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 were $2.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Our revenue for the three
and nine months ending September 30, 2008 were related to the sell-through of
the N2 phones that were shipped to our customer in prior periods. We have no current plans
to build more inventory of the N2 mobile phone. Our future
revenue is entirely dependent on our success in licensing our touch screen
technology to OEM’s and ODM’s which will embed our touch screen solution in
their products. These OEMs and ODMs are responsible for manufacturing and
selling their products. We will not receive substantial licensing revenue unless
our future customers are successful in developing and selling products that
include our touch screen solutions.
Prior to
December 2008, we sold our mobile phone products through a direct sales force
that supported our distributors.
Gross
Loss
We did
not have any revenues or cost of goods for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009. Our gross loss was $3.2 million and $11.4 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Our cost of goods
included the direct cost of production of the N2 phone plus indirect costs such
as the cost of our internal production department and accrued estimated warranty
costs. In the three months and nine ended September 30, 2008, our cost of sales
includes an inventory write-down charge of $2.1 million and $9.8 million
respectively. We experienced limited success in selling our N2 mobile phone
since introduction in 2007 and reevaluated our selling efforts and
the potential markets for the N2. Based upon this reevaluation, we decided that
it was probable that we would have to reduce the selling price of our N2 phones
and/or offer our customers substantial incentives in order to sell the N2. As a
result of our revaluation, we recorded a write-down, which represented the
estimated realizable value of our inventory at September 30, 2008. In
addition, our low sales volumes have been unable to efficiently
absorb the cost of our internal production department.
Product
Research and Development
Product research and
development (R&D) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009
were $168,000 compared to $582,000 for the same period in 2008. R&D expenses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $603,000 compared to $3.2
million for the same nine month period in 2008. Concurrently with the
bankruptcy of Neonode AB on December 9, 2008 we terminated all employees. We
reorganized the Company on December 29, 2008 under Neonode Technologies AB and
hired R&D staff beginning January 22, 2009. The primary factor that
contributed to the decrease in R&D costs is the fact that in 2008 we
employed 14 engineers compared to 6 in 2009. In addition, in
2008 we employed numerous external consultants related to the further
development of the N2 as well as early stage development of successor products.
In 2009 we only employed limited external engineering resources.
Sales
and Marketing
Sales and
marketing expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 were $121,000 compared to $878,000 for the same
period in 2008. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 were $257,000 compared to $3.8 million for the
same nine month period in 2008. This decrease in 2009 as
compared to 2008 is primarily related to decreases in product marketing
activities such as advertising agency fees and marketing co-op expenses as well
as an decrease in sales and marketing headcount. Concurrently with the
bankruptcy of Neonode AB on December 9, 2008 we terminated all employees. We
reorganized the Company on December 29, 2008 under Neonode Technologies AB and
hired one sales consultant. The expense for sales and marketing for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were comprised of the costs to attend
one trade show, travel to customer locations and the costs related to the sales
consultant.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were
$798,000 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2008. General and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 were $1.5 million compared to $4.2 million for the same nine
month period in 2008. The general and administrative expense
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
includes $651,000 and 721,000 of stock option and stock warrant based
non-cash expense compared to $164,000 and $860,000 for the same periods in 2008.
Concurrently with the bankruptcy of Neonode AB on December 9, 2008 we terminated
all the employees. After reorganization we have one full time CFO and one
part-time accounting consultant compared to six accounting personnel prior to
reorganization. In addition, our CEO is working without salary. The decrease in
2009 as compared to 2008 is primarily related to decreases in accounting and
administrative headcount, legal and accounting fees, rent and travel expenses.
Amortization of
Fair Value of Stock Issued to Related Parties for Purchase of Neonode
Technologies AB
Amortization
of fair value of
stock issued to related parties for purchase of Neonode Technologies AB
totals $1.6 million and $4.8 million of non-cash amortization of compensation
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respective,
related to the $9.5 million fair value of the common stock issued to related
parties to acquire Neonode Technologies AB. The $9.5 million fair value of the
stock issued to
related parties for purchase of Neonode Technologies AB is amortized to
compensation expense over six quarters at the rate of $1.6 million per quarter,
beginning January 1, 2009.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $14,000 and
$6,000 as compared to $20,000 and $93,000 for the same periods ended
September 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to the conversion of
substantially all the outstanding debt to equity on December 31,
2008. $139,000 of the convertible debt at December 31, 2008 remains
outstanding with a future quarterly interest expense of $3,000 until the note
due date on August 31, 2010. We completed a $837,000, convertible
debt offering in September 2009 with an annual interest rate of 7%.
Non-cash
items related to debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of
conversion features and warrants
Charges
related to debt extinguishments and debt discounts
Charges
related to debt discounts and deferred financing fees for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 amounted to $791,000. We recorded a charge related to debt
discounts and deferred financing fees for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 totaling $2.2 million. All debt, except for $139,000, was converted to
equity on December 31, 2008. As a result there are no charges related to debt
discounts and deferred financing fees for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
Non-Cash
valuation for Conversion Features and Warrants
Due to
various financing arrangement as described in the notes to the financial
statements, prior to the conversion of outstanding debt to equity on December
31, 2008, we carried certain warrants as liabilities on our balance sheet. In
addition, we recorded the value of the conversion features in outstanding debt
as liabilities in our financial statements. These warrants and the value of the
conversion features were valued at the end of each reporting period and marked
to market. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded changes
in the value of the warrants and conversion features amounting to a benefit of
$123,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded changes
in the value of the warrants and conversion features amounting to a benefit of
$4.6 million. All liabilities related to warrants and conversion features were
converted to equity or terminated on December 31, 2008.
In May
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that
may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt
and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP
specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the
liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, and requires retrospective application for all periods
presented.
FASB also
issued EITF 07-05, Determining
Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own
Stock, which addresses the first part of paragraph 11A of APB
14-1 as to whether or not a derivative is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This EITF is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires
retrospective application for all periods presented. EITF 07-05 requires that
warrants with downside ratchet to be accounted for as liabilities that
previously had been accounted for as equity under SFAS 133. Prior to EITF
07-05, these ratchet provisions were only evaluated under EITF 00-19, and
because these ratchet provisions are generally within the company’s control,
they did not trigger liability or derivative accounting. Now under EITF
07-05 they do.
On
January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP APB 14-1 and EITF 07-05. We
determined that the 2,118,599 outstanding warrants that include anti-dilution
features fall under the guidance of EITF 07-05 and the fair value of the
warrants must be recorded as a liability and marked-to-market each reporting
period with the changes in the fair value recorded as income/expense in the
statement of operations.
At
September 30, 2009, the fair value of the outstanding warrants is $2.2 million
and has been recorded as a liability recorded in “Embedded derivatives of
warrants” with the corresponding reduction in the previously record liability,
net of $67,000 that had been previously recorded in equity, recorded in “Non-cash items related to
debt discounts and deferred financing fees and the valuation of conversion
features and warrants” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a
decrease in liability related to the fair value of the outstanding warrants
$676,000 and $695,000, respectively. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes
option pricing model at September 30, 2009 were a term of 3.6 years, volatility
of 205.77% and a risk-free interest rate of 1.0%.
Gain
on conversion and forgiveness of accounts payable
We
converted approximately $53,000 of our accounts payable to 792,912 shares of our
common stock on January 26, 2009. The fair value of the shares of common stock
issued to settle the accounts payable was $23,000 based on our stock price on
January 26, 2009. We recorded $23,000 as “Common Stock Additional Paid in
Capital” and the difference of $30,000 is included in “Gain on Conversion and
Forgiveness of Accounts Payable” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Deemed
Divided to Preferred Stockholders
On March
31, 2009, our shareholders approved a resolution increasing the conversion ratio
from one-to-one to 480.63 shares of common stock for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock. Upon conversion, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will
convert into 411,190,010 shares of our common stock.
The fair
value of the conversion of the 244,265.56 shares of Series A Preferred shares
issued to the convertible debt holders that will be converted to 117,401,356
shares of our common stock was $4.7 million based on our stock price on March
31, 2009, the date of shareholder approval. On September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the $2.4 million fair value of the Series A preferred issued
prior to the shareholder approval is included in “Series A Preferred
Stock” in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
.. On March 31, 2009, we recorded the $2.3 million increase in the
fair value as an increase in “Common Stock Additional Paid In Capital” on the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is included as a “Deemed Divided to
Preferred Stockholders” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
On
December 31, 2008, we issued 92,795.94 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to
warrant holders to convert their warrants to equity. On March 31, 2009, our
shareholders approved a resolution increasing the conversion ratio from
one-to-one to 132.07 shares of common stock for each share of Series B Preferred
Stock. Upon conversion, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will convert into
12,255,560 shares of our common stock.
The fair
value of the conversion of the 92,795.94, shares of Series B Preferred shares
issued to the warrant holders that will be converted to12,255,560 shares of our
common stock was $490,000 based on our stock price on March 31,
2009. On December 31, 2008, the $2,000 fair value of the Series B
preferred issued prior to the shareholder approval is included in Series B
Preferred stock in the Shareholders’ Equity on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. On March 31, 2009, we recorded the $488,000 million increase in
the fair value as an increase in “Common Stock Additional Paid In Capital” on
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is included as a “Deemed Divided to
Preferred Stockholders” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Income
Taxes
Our
effective tax rate was 0% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively. We recorded valuation allowances as of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 for deferred tax assets related to net
operating losses due to the uncertainty of realization. In the event of future
taxable income, our effective income tax rate in future periods could be lower
than the statutory rate as such tax assets are realized.
Net
Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
As a
result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $3.7 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to a net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $7.7 million and $31.8 million in the
comparable periods in 2008.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated
entities that are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources
other than the operating leases noted above. We have no special purpose or
limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or
market or credit risk support, or engage in leasing, hedging, research and
development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is
not reflected on the face of the financial statements
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our
liquidity is dependent on many factors, including sales volume, operating profit
and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity will be
affected by, among other things:
|
· actual
versus anticipated licensing of our
technology;
|
|
· our
actual versus anticipated operating
expenses;
|
|
· the
timing of our OEM customer product
shipments;
|
|
· the
timing of payment for our technology licensing
agreements;
|
|
· our
actual versus anticipated gross profit
margin;
|
|
· our
ability to raise additional capital, if necessary;
and
|
|
· our
ability to secure credit facilities, if
necessary.
|
The
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization
of assets and repayment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm in respect of the
2008 fiscal year includes an explanatory going concern paragraph which raises
substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
and which indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of
future funding that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations.
Although we have been able to fund our operations to date, there is no assurance
that cash flow from our operations or our capital raising efforts will be able
to attract the additional capital or other funds needed to sustain our
operations. The going concern qualification from our auditors may make it more
difficult for us to raise funds. If we are unable to obtain additional funding
for operations, we may not be able to continue operations as proposed, requiring
us to modify our business plan, curtail various aspects of our operations or
cease operations. In such event, investors may lose a portion or all of their
investment.
On
December 31, 2008, we completed certain refinancing and capital raising
transactions, acquired Neonode Technologies AB, and began operations with a
primary focus on licensing our touchscreen technology to third party OEM and ODM
customers. We currently have prospective customers designing prototype products
integrating our touch screen solution but the products have not been released to
the market as of September 30, 2009. In most circumstances our target customers
will have to successfully integrate our technology into their products and then
sell those products to their customers before we will receive any cash from

Our cash
is subject to interest rate risk. We invest primarily on a short-term basis. Our
financial instrument holdings at September 30, 2009 were analyzed to determine
their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments
were determined by net present values. In our sensitivity analysis, the same
change in interest rate was used for all maturities and all other factors were
held constant. If interest rates increased by 10%, the expected effect on net
loss related to our financial instruments would be immaterial. The functional
currency of our foreign subsidiary is the applicable local currency, the Swedish
Krona, and is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any increase or
decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Swedish Krona
will impact Neonode’s future operating results.
At
September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $309,000 as compared to
$17,000 at December 31, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $1.1
million of cash was used in operating activities, primarily as a result of our
net loss increased by the following non-cash items (in thousands):

Working
capital deficit was $807,000 (current assets less current liabilities, not
including non-cash warrant liability) at September 30, 2009, compared to working
capital deficit of $962,000 at December 31, 2008.
In the
nine months ended September 30, 2009, we purchased $17,000 of fixed assets,
consisting primarily of computers and engineering equipment.
In
January and February 2009, we collected cash of $989,000, net of $133,000 in
legal costs and amounts collected in December 2008, from a private placement
financing transaction entered into on December 30, 2008 where we issued
112,190.40 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to the investors for a total
investment of $1,121,904.
During
the period from August 25, 2009 through September 30, 2009, we
completed a private placement of convertible notes totaling $837,000 that can be
converted, at the holder’s option, into 41,843.200 shares of our common stock at
a conversion price of $0.02 per share. The convertible note holders have the
right to have the conversion price adjusted to equal the lower stock price if we
issue stock or convertible notes at a lower conversion price than $0.02 during
the period that the notes are outstanding. These convertible notes are due on
December 31, 2010 and bear an annual interest rate of 7%, payable on June 30 and
December 31 of each year that the convertible notes are outstanding. In addition
we issued 20,921,600 three-year warrants to the convertible note
holders with an exercise price of $0.04 per share. The warrants may be exercised
and converted to common stock, at the warrant holders option, beginning on the
six month anniversary date of issuance until the warrant expiration
date.
Subsequent
to September 30, 2009, we received and additional $122,000 in cash
proceeds related to the private placement of convertible notes and stock
purchase warrants that can be converted, at the holder’s option, into 6,105,951
shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share and
3,052,976 stock purchase warrants that have an exercise price of $0.04 per
share. The convertible note holders have the right to have the conversion price
adjusted to equal the lower stock price if we issue stock or convertible notes
at a lower conversion price than $0.02 during the period that the notes are
outstanding. These convertible notes are due on December 31, 2010 and bear an
annual interest rate of 7%, payable on June 30 and December 31 of
each year that the convertible notes are outstanding. The warrants may be
exercised and converted to common stock, at the warrant holders option,
beginning on the six month anniversary date of issuance until the warrant
expiration date.
The
majority of our cash has been provided by borrowings from senior secured notes
and bridge notes that have been or are convertible into shares of our common
stock or from the sale of our common stock and common stock purchase warrants to
private investors. We have been able to convert approximately $6.1 million of
the $6.3 million outstanding convertible debt to equity. The $139,000
convertible note that was not converted into equity is due in August 2010 and
the $959,000 convertible note from the September 2009 private placement is due
December 31, 2010. We will require sources of capital in addition to
cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. Our
operations are not cash flow positive and we may be forced to seek credit line
facilities from financial institutions, additional private equity investment or
debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in
obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate
funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to
adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if funds
are available, the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into
equity could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and cause the market
price to fall, and the issuance of debt securities could impose restrictive
covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business
transactions.
A. Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009 to ensure that the
information required to be disclosed in our filings pursuant to Rule 13a-15
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the period ending
September 30, 2009 for the reasons described below.
During
the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2008, management determined that we had certain material weaknesses relating
to our accounting for certain financing transactions, including convertible debt
and derivative financial instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a
Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. In addition, we entered into several complex
financing transactions (including conversion of convertible debt, derivatives,
conversion of warrants, bankruptcy of Neonode AB and complex valuation and
measurement activities) that resulted in accounting adjustments during our
year-end audit. Because these material weaknesses as to internal control over
financial reporting bear upon our disclosure controls and procedures and have
not been fully remedied, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
were unable to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective for the year ending December 31, 2008.
Despite
the conclusion that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
the end of period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer believe that the financial statements and other information
contained in this interim report present fairly, in all material respects, our
business, financial condition and results of
operations. Nevertheless, because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
B. Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting in the third
quarter of 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to
materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Nevertheless,
as we move towards complete integration and consolidation of business and
financial operations of Neonode Technologies AB and Neonode Inc., we expect to
take steps to both remedy the material weaknesses described above and facilitate
our management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting in
accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Commission rules. Our planned steps
include:
|
·
|
adding
personnel to our financial department, consultants, or other resources
(including those with public company reporting
experience) to enhance our policies and procedures, including those
related to revenue recognition;
|
|
·
|
exploring
the suitability of further upgrades to our accounting system to complement
the new management reporting system
software described above; and
|
|
·
|
engaging
a qualified consultant in 2009 to perform an assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting and assist us in implementing appropriate internal controls on
weaknesses determined, if any, documenting,
and then testing the effectiveness of those
controls.

PART
II. Other Information
On
December 9, 2008, Empire Asset Management (“Empire”), a broker dealer that acted
as the Company’s financial advisor and exclusive placement agent in previous
private placement transactions, initiated a law suit against the Company in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Corporation
misrepresented the success of its business to induce Empire’s customers to
invest in the Company. Empire is seeking compensatory damages in an
unspecified amount for the harm allegedly suffered. The Company
believes that the action has no merit and intends to defend vigorously against
the action. The Company’s Directors and Officer (D&O) insurance provider has
extended coverage and will cover the costs of legal representation, subject to
the payment by the Company of the retention amount. Our D&O insurance policy
has a $150,000 retention provision and we have recorded a liability related to
the potential payment of the retention under our D&O insurance policy
totaling $150,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively.
On May
11, 2009, Mr. David Berman initiated a law suit against the Company in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York alleging that the Corporation
misrepresented the success of its business to induce Mr. Berman to invest in the
Company. Mr. Berman, who was a client of Empire, invested $549,860.00 in
the Company’s private placement offerings on March 4, 2008 and May 16, 2008 and
purchased an additional 162,900 shares totaling $251,081.69 in the aftermarket.
The Company believes that the action has no merit and intends to defend
vigorously against the action. The Company’s D&O insurance provider has
extended coverage and will cover the costs of legal representation, subject to
the payment by the Company of the retention amount..
