Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

Business – NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NeoMedia”, and also referred to herein as “us”, “we” and “our”), was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado. We have pioneered 2D mobile barcode technology and infrastructure solutions that enable the mobile barcode ecosystem world-wide. NeoMedia strives to harness the power of the mobile phone in innovative ways with state-of-the-art mobile barcode technology. With this technology, mobile phones with cameras become barcode scanners and this enables a range of practical applications including mobile marketing and advertising as well as mobile couponing. In addition, we offer barcode management and infrastructure solutions, reader solutions and intellectual property licensing.

NeoMedia has been involved in, and has strived to be an innovator in, the mobile barcode field since the mid-1990s, and during that time has spearheaded the development of a robust IP portfolio that encompasses many preferred mobile implementations. We believe that our extensive IP portfolio differentiates us from the competition.

Going Concern – We have historically incurred net losses from operations and we expect that we will continue to have negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that our continuing efforts to execute our business plan will be successful and that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. Net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was ($21.9) million and $12.4 million, of which $(23.0) million and $18.9 million, respectively, were non-cash net income/(loss) related to our financing instruments. Net cash used by operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, we have an accumulated deficit of $267.2 million. We also have a working capital deficit of $80.9 million, of which $78.7 million is related to our financing instruments, including $76.3 million related to the fair value of warrants and those debentures that are recorded as hybrid financial instruments, and $2.4 million related to the amortized cost carrying value of certain of our debentures and the fair value of the associated derivative liabilities. Historically, the Company’s working capital deficit included a continuing purchase price guarantee obligation of $4.5 million associated with an acquisition of a business in 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, this liability was derecognized as the state of Delaware statute of limitations has passed.

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

We currently do not have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. We will require additional revenue and/or financing in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern. Our management’s plan is to attempt to attain financial self-sufficiency from our operations as quickly as possible, but if that is not successful, we will be required to secure additional funding to support our patent licensing and barcode ecosystem businesses. We cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form and we may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or that we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Should our lender, YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA Global”) choose not to provide us with continued financing, or if we do not find alternative sources of financing to fund our operations or if we are unable to generate significant product revenues, we may not have sufficient funds to sustain our current operations. Our debenture obligations to YA Global currently mature on August 1, 2013.

The Convertible Debentures and preferred stock used to finance the Company, which may be converted into common stock at the sole option of the holders, have a highly dilutive impact when they are converted, greatly increasing the number of common shares outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were 1,105,940,395 shares of common stock issued for these conversions. The Company cannot predict if and when each holder may or may not elect to convert into common shares.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and Rule 8.03 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to our financial statements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for the years then ended, including notes thereto, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates, which are recorded in the period in which they become known.

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

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reported net income per share and included dilutive instruments in the fully diluted net income per share calculation.

Goodwill –Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for NeoMedia Europe over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities acquired, based on an independent appraisal of the assets and liabilities acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment, at least annually, by applying the recognition and measurement provisions of FASB ASC 350, which requires that we first assess qualitative factors in our evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test of a reporting unit.

Note 3 – Financing

At September 30, 2012, financial instruments arising from our financing transactions with YA Global, an accredited investor, included shares of our Series C preferred stock issued in February 2006, Series D preferred stock issued in January 2010, a series of thirty-three secured convertible debentures issued between August 2006 and July 2012 and various warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. All of our assets are pledged to secure our obligations under the debt securities. At various times, YA Global has assigned or distributed portions of its holdings of these securities to other holders, including persons who are officers of YA Global and its related entities, as well as to other holders who are investors in YA Global’s funds.

Secured Debentures - The underlying agreements for each of the thirty-three debentures are very similar in form, except in regard to the interest rate, conversion prices, and the number of warrants that were issued in conjunction with each of the debentures. The debentures are convertible into our common stock, at the option of the holder, at the lower of a fixed conversion price per share or a percentage of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for a specified number of days prior to the conversion (the “look-back period”). The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 9.99% ownership of the outstanding common stock, unless the holder waives their right to such limitation. All of the debentures are secured according to the terms of a Security Pledge Agreement dated August 23, 2006, which was entered into in connection with the first convertible debenture issued to YA Global and which provides YA Global with a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The debentures are also secured by a Patent Security Agreement dated July 29, 2008. On August 13, 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary, NeoMedia Europe GmbH, became a guarantor of all outstanding financing transactions between us and YA Global, through pledges of their intellectual property and other movable assets. As security for our obligations to YA Global, all of our Pledged Property, Patent Collateral and other collateral is affirmed through the several successive Ratification Agreements which have been executed in connection with each of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 financings.

All debentures with YA Global contain provisions for acceleration of principal and interest upon default. Certain debentures also contain default interest rates and conversion prices, as reflected in the table below.

We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion features of the Series C and Series D preferred stock and the Debentures were not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to their variable conversion rates. The contracts have no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Accordingly, either the embedded derivative instruments, including the conversion option, must be bifurcated and accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities or, as permitted by FASB ASC 815-15-25-4, Recognition of Embedded Derivatives, the instruments may be carried in their entirety at fair value.

At inception, we elected to bifurcate the embedded derivatives related to the Series C and Series D preferred stock and certain debentures, while electing the fair value option for the March 2007, August 2007, April 2008, May 2008 and April 2012 Debentures. FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, allows us to elect the fair value option for recording financial instruments when they are initially recognized or if there is an event that requires re-measurement of the instruments at fair value, such as a significant modification of the debt.

On May 25, 2012, the terms of the debentures held by YA Global were modified to extend the stated maturity dates to August 1, 2013 and reduce the interest rates to 9.5% per year, with interest being payable on the maturity date in cash or, provided certain equity conditions are satisfied, in shares of our Common Stock at the applicable conversion price. Because the effect of the modifications exceeded a significance threshold relative to cash flows prescribed by ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the modifications of the amounts due under these arrangements were accounted for as extinguishments, whereby the existing debentures are considered to be retired and new debentures issued. The existing instruments were first adjusted to fair value as of May 25, 2012 using the interest rate and maturity date prior to the amendment. The fair value of the new instruments was then calculated using the modified interest rate and maturity date to determine the fair value of the instrument subsequent to the amendment. The differences in the fair values before and after the amendment were recorded as an extinguishment loss of approximately $27.5 million in the accompanying statements of operations.

As of the date of the modification, we have elected to carry all modified debentures at the fair value of the hybrid instrument with changes in the fair value of the debentures charged or credited to income each period.

The following table summarizes the significant terms of each of the debentures for which the entire hybrid instrument is recorded at fair value as of September 30, 2012:

For the portion of the debentures held by investors other than YA Global (which debentures were not modified on May 25, 2012) and for the Series C and Series D preferred stock, we continue to bifurcate the compound embedded derivatives related to the Series C and Series D preferred stock and these debentures and carry these financial instruments as liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet. Significant components of the compound embedded derivative include (i) the embedded conversion feature, (ii) down-round anti-dilution protection features and (iii) default, non-delivery and buy-in puts, all of which were combined into one compound instrument that is carried at fair value as a derivative liability. Changes in the fair value of the compound derivative liability are charged or credited to income each period.

The table below summarizes the significant terms of the debentures that are carried at their amortized cost and for which the compound embedded derivative is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability as of September 30, 2012:

Conversions –Our preferred stock and convertible debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock. Upon conversion of any of the convertible financial instruments in which the compound embedded derivative is bifurcated, the carrying amount of the debt, including any unamortized premium or discount, and the related derivative instrument liability are credited to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued and no gain or loss is recognized. For instruments that are recorded in their entirety at the fair value of the hybrid instrument, the fair value of the hybrid instrument converted is credited to the capital accounts upon conversion to reflect the stock issued and no gain or loss is recognized.

Warrants - YA Global holds warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that were issued in connection with the convertible debentures and the Series C and Series D preferred stock. The warrants are exercisable at a fixed exercise price which, from time to time, has been reduced due to anti-dilution provisions when the Company has entered into subsequent financing arrangements with a lower price. The exercise prices may be reset again in the future if we subsequently issue stock or enter into a financing arrangement with a lower price. In addition, upon each adjustment in the exercise price, the number of warrant shares issuable is adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the warrant exercise price in effect prior to the adjustment by the number of warrant shares issuable prior to the adjustment divided by the warrant exercise price resulting from the adjustment.

The warrants issued to YA Global do not meet all of the established criteria for equity classification in FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and accordingly, are recorded as derivative liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the warrants are charged or credited to income each period.

2012 Financing Transactions – During 2012, we entered into Agreements to issue and sell six debentures to YA Global in the aggregate principal amount of $2,650,000. The debentures are convertible, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 95% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the 60 trading days preceding the date of conversion. Except for the June 1, 2012 and July 20, 2012 debentures, at inception, all the debentures had an interest rate of 14% per year and had a maturity date of July 29, 2012. Subsequent to the May 25, 2012 modification, all the debentures bear interest at 9.5% and mature on August 1, 2013. We have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the debentures at a redemption premium of 10%, plus accrued interest. We also issued warrants to YA Global in conjunction with the debentures. The warrants were issued with an initial fixed exercise price of $0.15 per share; however, as a result of the anti-dilution protection in these warrants, the issuance of subsequent debentures for a lower price resets the fixed exercise price of the warrants to the lower price and adjusts the number of warrant shares issuable. All warrants issued during 2012 have a term of five years.

The following table provides a summary of the allocation of the components of the new debentures and warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The hybrid debt instruments were valued as the present value of the cash flows, enhanced by the fair value of the conversion option valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation method. The warrants were valued using a binomial lattice option valuation method. Significant assumptions used to value the hybrid debt instruments and warrants as of inception of the financings are also provided in the table below.

Bifurcated Embedded Derivative Instruments – Series C and Series D preferred stock and Convertible Debentures held by investors other than YA Global - For financings in which the embedded derivative instruments are bifurcated and recorded separately, the compound embedded derivative instruments are valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation methodology because that model embodies certain relevant assumptions (including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, and conversion/redemption privileges) that are necessary to value these complex derivatives.

The conversion price in each of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment for down-round, anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if we sell common stock or common share indexed financial instruments below the stated or variable conversion price of the debenture, the conversion price adjusts to that lower amount.

The assumptions included in the calculations are highly subjective and subject to interpretation. Assumptions used as of September 30, 2012 included exercise estimates/behaviors and the following other significant estimates: (i) Preferred Stock: remaining term of 0.84 years, equivalent volatility of 133%, equivalent interest rate of 8%, equivalent credit-risk adjusted rate of 6.9% and anti-dilution adjusted conversion price of $0.005238, (ii) Convertible Debentures: Anti-dilution adjusted conversion price of $0.00486. Equivalent amounts reflect the net results of multiple modeling simulations that the Monte Carlo Simulation methodology applies to underlying assumptions.

Due to the variability of the conversion prices, fluctuations in the trading market price of our common stock may result in significant variations to the calculated conversion price. For each debenture, we analyze the ratio of the conversion price (as calculated based on the percentage of VWAP for the appropriate look-back period) to the trading market price for a period of time equal to the term of the debenture to determine the average ratio for the term of the note. Each quarter, the ratio in effect on the date of the valuation is compared with the average ratio over the term of the debenture to determine if the calculated conversion price is representative of past trends or if it is considered unrepresentative due to a large fluctuation in the Common Stock price over a short period of time. If the calculated conversion price results in a ratio that deviates significantly from the average ratio over the term of the agreement, the average ratio of the conversion price to the trading market price is then multiplied by the current trading market price to determine the variable conversion price for use in the fair value calculations. This variable conversion price is then compared with the fixed conversion price and, as required by the terms of the debentures, the lower of the two amounts is used as the conversion price in the Monte Carlo Simulation model used for valuation purposes. On September 30, 2012, the fixed conversion price for each of the debentures was equal to or higher than the calculated variable conversion price. Accordingly, the variable conversion price was used in the Monte Carlo Simulation model. This analysis is performed each quarter to determine if the calculated conversion price is reasonable for purposes of determining the fair value of the embedded conversion features (for instruments recorded under FASB ASC 815-15-25-1) or the fair value of the hybrid instrument (for instruments recorded under FASB ASC 815-15-25-4).

The following table reflects the face value of the instruments, their amortized carrying value and the fair value of the separately-recognized compound embedded derivative, as well the number of common shares into which the instruments are convertible as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The terms of the embedded conversion features in the convertible instruments presented above provide for variable conversion rates that are indexed to our quoted common stock price. As a result, the number of indexed shares is subject to continuous fluctuation. For presentation purposes, the number of shares of common stock into which the embedded conversion feature of the Series C and Series D preferred stock was convertible as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was calculated as face value plus assumed dividends (if declared), divided by the lesser of the fixed rate or the calculated variable conversion price using the 125 day look-back period. The number of shares of common stock into which the embedded conversion feature in the convertible debentures was convertible as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was calculated as the face value of each instrument divided by the variable conversion price using the appropriate look-back period.

As discussed above, on May 25, 2012, the terms of the debentures held by YA Global were modified to extend the stated maturity dates to August 1, 2013 and those debentures are now accounted for as hybrid instruments and are carried in their entirety at fair value. The debentures outstanding at September 30, 2012 of $53,000 shown above represent a portion of the debentures issued to YA Global which had previously been transferred by YA Global to other parties. These debentures were not modified and continued to mature on July 29, 2012. At September 30, 2012 the debentures had not yet been converted or repaid.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instrument liabilities related to the bifurcated embedded derivative features of convertible instruments not carried at fair value are reported as “Gain (loss) from change in fair value of derivative liability – Series C and Series D preferred stock and debentures” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Hybrid Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value –- Since inception, the March 2007, August 2007, April 2008, May 2008 and April 2012 convertible debentures have been recorded in their entirety at fair value as hybrid instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-25-4 with subsequent changes in fair value charged or credited to income each period. As of May 25, 2012, we elected the fair value option for all other convertible debentures held by YA Global upon a re-measurement date that was triggered by significant modifications of the financial instruments.

Because these debentures are carried in their entirety at fair value, the value of the embedded conversion feature is embodied in those fair values. At inception, the March 2007, August 2007, April 2008 and May 2008 debentures were valued using the common stock equivalent approach. For the April 26, 2012 debenture and, effective May 25, 2012 for all other debentures, the Company changed its method of estimating the fair value of the hybrid instrument to consider the present value of the cash flows of the instrument, using a risk-adjusted interest rate, enhanced by the value of the conversion option, valued using a Monte Carlo model. This method was considered by our management to be the most appropriate method of encompassing the credit risk and exercise behavior that a market participant would consider when valuing the hybrid financial instrument. Inputs used to value the hybrid instruments as of September 30, 2012 included: (i) present value of future cash flows for the debenture using a risk adjusted interest rate of 6.92%, (ii) remaining term of 0.84 years, (iii) equivalent volatility of 133%, equivalent interest rate of 9.5%, equivalent credit-risk adjusted rate of 6.92% and anti-dilution adjusted conversion prices ranging from $0.00432- $0.00513.

The following table reflects the face value of the financial instruments, the fair value of the hybrid financial instrument and the number of common shares into which the instruments are convertible as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The warrants are valued using a binomial lattice option valuation methodology because that model embodies all of the significant relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. Significant assumptions used in this model as of September 30, 2012 included an expected life equal to the remaining term of the warrants, an expected dividend yield of zero, estimated volatility ranging from 99% to 186%, and risk-free rates of return of 0.10% to 0.62%. For the risk-free rates of return, we use the published yields on zero-coupon Treasury Securities with maturities consistent with the remaining term of the warrants and volatility is based upon our expected Common Stock price volatility over the remaining term of the warrants. As a result of the anti-dilution provisions, the fixed exercise price of the warrants has been reset equal to the lowest price of any subsequently issued common share indexed instruments with a conversion price below the previously stated exercise price of the warrant.

Changes in the fair value of the warrants are reported as "(Gain) loss from change in fair value of derivative liability - warrants" in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The changes in the fair value of the warrants were as follows:

Reconciliation of changes in fair value – Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Our derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following represents a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs and changes in the fair value of hybrid instruments carried at fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, valuation techniques are sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high estimated historical volatility. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Subsequent events

Subsequent to September 30, 2012, holders of convertible debentures have converted $469,940 of principal and accrued interest on those debentures into 96,835,097 shares of our common stock.

We obtained two short term loans for operating capital during the three months ended September 30, 2012 for a total of $110,421 from YA Global, which are included in Notes payable at September 30, 2012. These loans were repaid in full on October 1, 2012.

We repaid a total of $565,000 of principal and interest of our Debenture Obligations to YA Global during October and November of 2012 out of operating cash flow.

Note 5 – Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consist of the following as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2012		2011
	(in thousands)

Accruals for disputed services	$	-	$	2,318

Accrued payroll related expenses		4		130
Accrued interest		20		7,677
Total	$	446	$	12,135

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we derecognized $8.3 million of previously accrued expenses and other obligations that we are no longer obligated to fulfill because the statute of limitations has passed. Of this amount, $2.3 million was associated with accruals for disputed services from years prior to 2005, $1.5 million was derecognized related to other accruals from years prior to 2005 and $4.5 million was derecognized for an accrued purchase price guarantee related to a 2006 acquisition..

Note 6 – Contingencies

We are involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, both as claimant and defendant. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, it is the opinion of management that the eventual resolution of the following legal actions is unlikely to have a material effect on our financial position or operating results.

William Klawonn v. Y.A. Global Investments, L.P. and NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. – On April 28, 2010, William Klawonn, a shareholder of NeoMedia, filed a derivative action, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, against YA Global and us claiming trading activities that violated section 15 U.S.C. § 78p(b). On July 8, 2010, an order was granted in the case stipulating that the plaintiff had agreed that we have no liability in the action. The order also stipulated that we will be considered a nominal party to the action, and as such we remain subject to the discovery rights and obligations of the action. On December 6, 2010, an order was granted in the case to dismiss for the plaintiff’s failure to state a valid claim for relief, without prejudice. However the order also allowed the plaintiff 45 days to amend the complaint. On January 20, 2011, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On February 4, 2011, a further order was granted in the case again stipulating that the plaintiff had agreed that we have no liability in the action. The order also again stipulated that we will continue to be considered a nominal party to the action, and as such we remain subject to the discovery rights and obligations of the action. On March 24, 2011, YA Global filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint and on May 9, 2011, plaintiff filed a memorandum of law in opposition to YA Global’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On June 8, 2011, YA Global filed a reply memorandum of law in further support of its motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court heard oral argument on the motion on August 4, 2011. On August 10, 2011, the Court issued an opinion and order granting the motion to dismiss as to some claims and denying it as to others. We are not able to predict with any certainty the outcome of this litigation, including the merits or value of the amended complaint. There is no new status on this case to report.

SpyderLynk, LLC – On April 9, 2012, we filed a complaint against SpyderLynk, LLC in the District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint asserts infringement of two NeoMedia patents related to our mobile barcode resolution technology. Specifically the complaint asserts infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,199,048, and U.S. Patent No. 8,131,597. The complaint seeks to enjoin SpyderLynk from using NeoMedia’s patented technology and to recover damages caused by the infringement. SpyderLynk has filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims seeking to have the patents declared invalid, not infringe, and unenforceable. NeoMedia filed a motion to dismiss certain of the counterclaims. The motion to dismiss is pending. Discovery in the case is on-going.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

NeoMedia has positioned itself to pioneer 2D mobile barcode technology and infrastructure solutions that enable the mobile barcode ecosystem world-wide. We believe that our extensive intellectual property portfolio differentiates us from the competition. We strive to harness the power of the mobile phone in innovative ways with state-of-the-art mobile barcode technology. With this technology, mobile phones with cameras become barcode scanners and this enables a range of practical applications including mobile marketing and advertising as well as mobile couponing. We offer barcode management and infrastructure solutions, barcode reader solutions and IP licensing.

According to the Nellymoser, QR style mobile codes in magazines get higher response rates than other printed direct marketing tools and approximately 10 percent of magazine advertising pages contained a QR code or other activation mechanism in the second quarter of 2012, up from 5 percent a year ago. As companies of all sizes continue to recognize the potential of mobile barcodes, we continue to focus our efforts to take part in this rapidly expanding marketplace. We are focusing our sales and marketing activities primarily in the United States and Europe.

From a sales strategy perspective, we are focused in two key areas: the first is the maximization of our patent portfolio through IP licensing, and the second is our two tiered sales approach on partnering with brands and agencies directly as well as partnering with key mobile marketing organizations to maximize the reach of our barcode management and infrastructure solutions.

NeoMedia has been active in, and strived to be an innovator in, the mobile barcode field since the mid-1990s, and during that time has spearheaded the development of a robust IP portfolio. In September 2011, we announced an agreement with Global IP Law Group to help further monetize our patent portfolio and lead the licensing of our IP, focusing on the US market. We have closed three new licensing agreements in Q3-2012, including one with Microsoft. We are hopeful that our IP licensing activities will generate new licensees in the fourth quarter of 2012 and beyond. We have established a rate card for IP licensing which we anticipate will help to expedite the licensing opportunities currently underway. We intend to continue to vigorously pursue or defend, as applicable, claims affecting the business interests and intellectual property of the Company including litigation activities, where appropriate. Thus far, we have successfully caused two companies in the United States to cease and desist in its mobile barcode operations that infringed upon our IP rights. Legal fees have been a significant expense for us.

Our barcode management and infrastructure solution includes both our barcode reader (NeoReader) as well as our barcode infrastructure solutions (NeoSphere). Mobile barcodes continue to be an increasingly important engagement tool for brands and marketers. Our platform has generated more than 77,000 mobile barcodes for use in marketing and advertising campaigns worldwide and continues to climb. In Q3-2012, we saw scan activity from 193 countries with the top three countries for scanning traffic being the USA, Spain and Germany.

In 2012, we officially closed our hardware operations and will no longer be pursuing the sales of EXIO2, XELIA and MSS products. We will, however, continue to support existing customers who have these products.

We continue to be faced with downward price pressure in the market given the fragmented competitive environment for mobile barcode solutions as well as the ‘battle’ between free and fee based solutions. We believe that NeoMedia will continue to differentiate itself on the basis of its high quality product and service offerings, customizable and full service solutions and our robust intellectual property portfolio. The sales process for mobile barcodes is a consultative sales process and our research suggests that in most cases, organizations are seeking an end-to-end solution, including mobile websites, rich media, etc. Accordingly, NeoMedia has extended its partner relationships to offer its customers a full service solution. Given the consultative sale, the sales cycles tend to be longer and more resource intensive.

NeoMedia continues to promote an open and interoperable approach to the market to empower the mobile ecosystem – and deploys a partial indirect (also called managed direct or DNS prefixed) solution for our customers. Our research suggests we are one of the few providers in the global ecosystem to offer Aztec code support, in addition to QR, Datamatrix and a variety of 1D symbologies.

NeoReader has also experienced continued growth in Q3-2012. With pre-install agreements with Sony Mobile and Samsung Electronics Italy, as well as being downloadable via our own website, http://get.neoreader.com, and from the key “app stores” including Android, Apple, Blackberry, Nokia and Ovi, our reader now has over 27 million installations. Our reader is offered to consumers free of charge and we anticipate the growth in consumer utilization will continue and help encourage brand adoption of mobile barcodes. NeoMedia also offers NeoReader Enterprise and SDK for enterprise opportunities.

We have had a significant reduction in operating expenses over the past nine months and final cost reduction activities related to departing personnel will be completed by January 2013. We are focusing on continuing to grow the business and revenue to achieve self-sustainability, which continues to take paramount importance and we hope to achieve it by December 31, 2012.

Management Changes

There were two changes to the management team during the three months ended September 30, 2012. On August 27, 2012, Colonel Baer resigned from the position of Chief Financial Officer and retained his position as Corporate Secretary. On the same date, Mr. Jeff Huitt was appointed as Chief Financial Officer.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Results of Operations

We continue to focus on growing our IP licensing and barcode management and infrastructure business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our operating losses were $2.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Our net income/(loss) was $(21.9) million and $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our net loss includes gains and losses from the change in fair value of our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures. We incur these gains and losses principally as a result of changes in the market value of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we reported losses on our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures, totaling $23.0 million and during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we reported gains on our hybrid financial instruments, warrants and debentures, totaling $18.9 million. Due to the volatility of our Common Stock price, changes in the fair value of our derivative liabilities have a material impact on our overall net loss which makes quarter and annual comparisons difficult.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were $680,000 and $528,000, an increase of $152,000, or 29%. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $1.9 million and $1.7 million, an increase of $200,000, or 12%. The bulk of our revenues come from two business lines, IP licensing and 2D Core (NeoSphere and NeoReader).

Revenue is recognized only as earned, in the period in which it is earned. For IP licensing revenue, we amortize the value of the license over the shorter of the life of the agreement or the underlying life of the patent or patents licensed by the customer. Revenue from IP licensing that has not yet been recognized as result of this methodology is recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues was $639,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $324,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $315,000 or 97%. Cost of revenues was $667,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $799,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $132,000 or 17%. The variability is tied to the timing and amount of commissions and fees directly related to the sale of IP license rights. These expenses are recognized in full when they are incurred. However, as discussed above, a portion of the associated revenue may be deferred. As a result, our gross margin may vary significantly from period to period.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses were $112,000 and $217,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $105,000, or 48%. Sales and marketing expenses were $532,000 and $838,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $306,000 or 37% as a result of cost containment and closure of our hardware business. We expect, however, that our sales and marketing expense will increase as we continue to promote our business strategy.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses were $313,000 and $830,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $517,000, or 62%. General and administrative expenses were $2.2 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease o $300,000 or 12%. G&A expenses decreased due to ongoing cost reduction activities partially offset by associated legal fees and IP enforcement activities.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses were $195,000 and $481,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $286,000, or 59%. Research and development expenses were $788,000 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of $523,000 or 40%. Research and development expenses continue to decrease as we optimize our team for 2D Core and eliminate the resources for our hardware operation.

Loss from Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, our loss from operations was $579,000 and $1.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, our loss from operations was $2.3 million and $3.7 million. This improvement was primarily the result of increased revenue and gross profit combined with ongoing expense reductions.

25

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. On May 25, 2012, the terms of debentures issued by us and held by YA Global were modified to extend the stated maturity dates from July 29, 2012 to August 1, 2013 and to revise the interest rates to 9.5% per year. Because the effect of these modifications exceeded a significance threshold relative to cash flows prescribed by ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishments, the modifications of the amounts due under these arrangements were accounted for as extinguishments, whereby the existing debentures are considered to be retired and new debentures issued. The instruments were first adjusted to fair value as of May 25, 2012 using the interest rate and maturity date prior to the amendment. The fair value of the instrument was then calculated using the modified interest rate and maturity date to determine the fair value of the instrument subsequent to the amendment. The differences in the fair values before and after the amendment were recorded as an extinguishment loss of approximately $27.5 million.

Gain (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Hybrid Financial Instruments . We carry certain of our debentures at fair value, in accordance with FASB ASC 815-15-25, and do not separately account for the embedded conversion feature. The change in the fair value of these liabilities includes changes in the value of the accrued interest due under these instruments, as well as changes in the fair value of the common stock underlying the instruments. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $6.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $12.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

Gain (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities – Warrants. We account for our outstanding common stock warrants that were issued in connection with our preferred stock and our debentures, at fair value. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to these instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $4.9 million and $568,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to warrants fluctuated resulting in a gain of $5.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Gain (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities – Series C and D Preferred Stock and Debentures. For our Series C and D preferred stock, and certain of our debentures, we account for the embedded conversion feature separately as a derivative financial instrument. We carry these derivative financial instruments at fair value. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to these hybrid instruments fluctuated, resulting in a gain of $1.0 million and $43.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the liability related to the derivative instruments embedded in the Series C and D preferred stocks and these debentures fluctuated, resulting in a loss of $13.3 million and a gain of $12.5 million, respectively.

The changes in the fair values of our hybrid financial instruments and our derivative liabilities were primarily the result of fluctuations in the value of our common stock during the period. Because our Common Stock price has been volatile and because many of our derivative financial instruments include relatively low fixed conversion or exercise prices, it is possible that further fluctuations in the market price of our common stock could cause the fair value of these instruments to increase or decrease significantly in future periods. The fair values of these instruments are subject to volatility so long as the preferred stock, debentures and warrants are outstanding. These instruments will no longer be volatile upon their conversion or exercise into common stock.

Interest Expense Related to Convertible Debt - Interest expense related to debentures that are carried at amortized cost and which are not carried as hybrid financial instruments at fair value was $10,000 and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest expense related to debentures that are carried at amortized cost and which are not carried as hybrid financial instruments at fair value was $4.4 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These fluctuations in interest expense were primarily the result of increased debenture financing outstanding during 2012 compared with 2011. Following the May 25, 2012 modification of the debentures, which extended their due date, the debentures are no longer carried at amortized cost but are carried as hybrid financial instruments at fair value. As a result, the interest on these debentures subsequent to May 25, 2012 is reported as part of the Gain (Loss) from Change in Fair Value of Hybrid Financial Instruments and is no longer separately reported as interest expense.

Net Income (Loss) - As a result of the above, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we experienced net income of $19.5 million and $59.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we experienced a net loss of $21.9 million and net income of $12.4 million, respectively. These changes resulted primarily from gains in the fair value of our hybrid and derivative instruments during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, we had $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents compared with $30,000 as of December 31, 2011.

Cash used by operating activities decreased to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $3.5 million used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing decreased operational expenses and increased cash received.

Cash used in investing activities was $5,000 and $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, representing the purchase of equipment.

26

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.6 million, reflecting gross proceeds of $2,650,000 from six Secured Debentures issued to YA Global, net of $150,000 in structuring and due diligence fees and two bridge loans totaling $110,421.

Conversions of our debentures into common stock have a positive effect on our future liquidity by reducing the amount we will have to repay. During the year ended December 31, 2011, investors converted 3,250 shares of Series C preferred stock, 11,050 shares of Series D preferred stock, and $2,099,689 of principal and accrued interest on the convertible debentures. These conversions reduced the carrying value of the debentures and the Series C and D preferred stock and the associated derivative financial instruments, and the debentures payable carried at fair value, and as a result, strengthened our balance sheet. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, investors converted $2.1 million of principal and accrued interest on the convertible debentures and during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, investors converted a total of $5.5 million of principal and accrued interest on the convertible debentures.. These conversions have reduced the carrying value of the Series C and D preferred stock and the associated derivative liabilities and the debentures payable carried at fair value, and as a result, have continued to strengthen our balance sheet.

Going Concern – We have historically incurred net losses from operations and we expect that we will continue to have negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that our continuing efforts to execute our business plan will be successful and that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. Net income/(loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was ($21.9) million and $12.4 million, of which $(23.0) million and $18.9 million, respectively, were non-cash net income/(loss) related to our financing instruments. Net cash used by operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2012, we have an accumulated deficit of $267.2 million. We also have a working capital deficit of $80.9 million, of which $78.7 million is related to our financing instruments, including $76.3 million related to the fair value of warrants and those debentures that are recorded as hybrid financial instruments, and $2.4 million related to the amortized cost carrying value of certain of our debentures and the fair value of the associated derivative liabilities. Historically, the Company’s working capital deficit included a continuing purchase price guarantee obligation of $4.5 million associated with an acquisition of a business in 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, this liability was derecognized as the state of Delaware statute of limitations has passed.

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

We currently do not have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain our operations for the next twelve months. We will require additional revenue and/or financing in order to execute our operating plan and continue as a going concern. Our management’s plan is to attempt to attain self-sufficiency from our operations as quickly as possible, but if that is not successful, we will be required to secure additional funding to support our patent licensing and barcode ecosystem businesses. We cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form and we may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that these financing sources do not materialize, or that we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues and profits, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay our debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In the past we have entered into financing and investment agreements with YA Global. Should YA Global choose not to enter into any further financing arrangements with us as they have in the past, or if we do not find alternative sources of financing to fund our operations or if we are unable to generate significant revenues, we may not have sufficient funds to sustain our current operations. Our debenture obligations to YA Global currently mature on August 1, 2013.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and reclassification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Sources of Cash and Projected Cash Requirements – As of September 30, 2012, our cash balance was $1.3 million. NeoMedia’s past financing agreements with YA Global have certain ramifications that could affect future liquidity and business operations. For example, pursuant to the terms of the debenture agreements between us and YA Global, without YA Global’s consent we cannot (i) issue or sell any shares of our Common Stock or our preferred stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance, (ii) issue or sell any preferred stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire our Common Stock for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance, (iii) enter into any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any of our assets or (iv) file any registration statements on Form S-8. In addition, pursuant to security agreements between us and YA Global, YA Global has a security interest in all of our assets. Such covenants could severely harm our ability to raise additional funds from sources other than YA Global, and would likely result in a higher cost of capital in the event we secured funding. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement between us and YA Global in connection with our Series C preferred stock, we cannot (i) enter into any debt arrangements in which we are the borrower, (ii) grant any security interest in any of our assets or (iii) grant any security below market price.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, have 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 the end of the period covered by this report.

These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012 at a reasonable assurance level, because of material weaknesses with respect to entity level controls over financial reporting, identified as of December 31, 2011, which we are in the process of remediating. Such weaknesses were:

— Our senior management did not establish and maintain proper oversight as to internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Specifically, our senior management was unable, due to time constraints, to completely address the control weaknesses brought to their attention through the audit process. The management of the Company continues to enhance internal controls within the time and resource constraints of the Company.

— We, through our senior management, did not maintain formalized accounting policies and procedures as of December 31, 2011. As they are being implemented, the policies and procedures will provide guidance to accounting personnel in the proper treatment and recording of financial transactions, as well as proper internal controls over financial reporting.

— Senior management did not consistently ensure that recurring and non-recurring journal entries were subject to proper review and approval prior to posting to the general ledger. Although our review did not disclose any materially incorrect or improper entries, proper review and approval of all general ledger transactions should occur.

As noted, we believe that we have made considerable progress in addressing the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and, while we consider our remediation efforts substantially complete, the above material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our new controls over financial reporting are operating effectively for an appropriate period of time.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, we believe that our consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10−Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the end of the period covered herein.

Inherent Limitations - Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.

28

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - We made changes (including hiring a full time CFO, the monthly reconciliation of accounts, the implementation of regular management reviews, and journal entry approval) in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2012 which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, both as claimant and defendant. Although it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, it is the opinion of management that the eventual resolution of such legal actions is unlikely to have a material effect on our financial position or operating results.

Other than the SpyderLynk, LLC complaint described in the paragraph below, the Company has not been involved in any new legal proceedings, or experienced any material developments in ongoing proceedings, during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

SpyderLynk, LLC – On April 9, 2012, we filed a complaint against SpyderLynk, LLC in the District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint asserts infringement of two NeoMedia patents related to our mobile barcode resolution technology. Specifically, the complaint asserts infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,199,048, and U.S. Patent No. 8,131,597. The complaint seeks to enjoin SpyderLynk from using NeoMedia’s patented technology and to recover damages caused by the infringement. SpyderLynk has filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims seeking to have the patents declared invalid, not infringe, and unenforceable. NeoMedia filed a motion to dismiss certain of the counterclaims. The motion to dismiss is pending. Discovery in the case is on-going.
