Convertible Debenture and Warrants - August 2006
 
On August 24, 2006, we sold to Cornell Capital Partners 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance with a face value of $5,000,000. At any time until August 24, 2008, Cornell Capital Partners has the right to convert the secured convertible debentures, in whole or in part, into NeoMedia common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the trading stock price, as follows: $0.15 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The debentures are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
In connection with the secured convertible debentures, we issued to Cornell warrants to purchase shares of our common stock as follows: 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, 25,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.15 per share, 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, and 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The exercise prices of all warrants, other than the 50,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 per share, were subsequently repriced to $0.04 in connection with a convertible debenture financing in December 2006. Up to 100,000,000 shares underlying these warrants are being registered hereunder.
 
NeoMedia is currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on August 24, 2006, as amended by a Master Amendment Agreement entered into on March 27, 2007 in connection with the March 2007 convertible debenture. As a result, Cornell Capital Partners has certain rights with respect to the financing arrangement, specifically, (i) the full face value of each instrument is callable in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000, (ii) up to 417,000,000 warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners with exercise prices between $0.04 - $0.06 can be exercised on a cashless basis, and (iii) NeoMedia is responsible for liquidated damages amounting to 2% of the principal per month, not to exceed $1,000,000. We paid $430,000 of accrued liquidated damages on March 27, 2007 relating to this debenture.
 
Up to 100,000,000 shares underlying this debenture are being registered hereunder.
 
Acquisition Consideration Shares
 
During February and March 2006, NeoMedia completed the acquisitions of Gavitec and 12Snap. The aggregate purchase price for Gavitec was $7,187,000, consisting of $1,800,000 cash, $114,000 acquisition-related costs, and $5,273,000 fair value of 13,660,511 shares issued as consideration. The aggregate purchase price for 12Snap was $22,036,000, consisting of $2,500,000 cash, $114,000 acquisition-related costs, and $19,422,000 fair value of 49,294,581 shares issued as consideration.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the sale and purchase agreements with each company, in the event that NeoMedia’s stock price at the time the consideration shares issued in connection with each acquisition are saleable was less than the price at which they were valued for purposes of the merger agreement ($0.389 per share with respect to Gavitec and $0.3956 per share with respect to 12Snap), NeoMedia was obligated to compensate the sellers in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and the price the shares were valued for purposes of the merger agreement.

On January 23, 2007, we entered into an agreement with the former shareholders of Gavitec, whereby this purchase price obligation was satisfied through the payment by NeoMedia of $1,800,000 in cash, and 61,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock. We also agreed to pay interest accrued on the purchase price in the amount of $481,000 and reimburse $100,000 of costs related to the acquisition to the primary former shareholder of Gavitec. NeoMedia issued the shares and made cash payments of $2,113,000 during March 2007. 55,204,235 shares related to the acquisitions are being registered hereunder.
 
On February 22, 2007, the shares issued in connection with the acquisition of 12Snap became eligible for resale under Rule 144. The actual calculated purchase price obligation to NeoMedia based on the volume weighted average closing price of NeoMedia stock for the ten days up to and including February 22, 2007 was $16,233,000. During March 2007, we issued 197,620,948 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of a portion of the purchase price obligation totaling $9,427,000. During April 2007, an additional $1,760,000 of the obligation was retired in connection with the sale of 12Snap. In addition, we have made cash payments against the liability totaling $362,000. The balance on the purchase price obligation as of June 30, 2007 was $4,684,000.
 
On April 4, 2007, we reached an agreement with Bernd Michael, a private investor and former shareholder of 12Snap prior to our acquisition of 12Snap, pursuant to which Bernd Michael acquired from us 90% of the shares of 12Snap, subject to the following material terms and conditions:
 
 
·
$1,100,000 was paid in cash at closing, of which $1,015,000 was applied toward amounts owed to silent partners of 12Snap
 
 
·
$500,000 was placed into an escrow account for 90 days to secure warranty claims;
 
 
·
The buyer waived his portion of the purchase price guarantee obligation in the amount of $880,000;
 
 
·
The buyer returned to NeoMedia 2,525,818 NeoMedia shares previously issued to him;
 
 
·
12Snap management waived their portion of the purchase price guarantee obligation in the amount of $880,000;
 
 
·
12Snap management returned to NeoMedia 5,225,039 shares of NeoMedia common stock previously issued to 12Snap management;
 
 
·
We retained a 10% ownership in 12Snap, subject to an option agreement pursuant to which we have the right to sell, and the buyer has the right to acquire, the remaining 10% stake held by NeoMedia for a purchase price of $750,000 after December 31, 2007; and
 
 
·
We will execute a cooperation agreement pursuant to which 12snap will remain NeoMedia preferred partner and enjoy most favored prices, and 12snap will perform certain research and development functions for NeoMedia.
 
Under this prospectus we are registering 12,650,000 shares of our common stock underlying previously issued warrants issued to Thornhill Capital, LLC, William Fritz, Charles Fritz, and David Kaminer.

NeoMedia (www.neom.com) is a pioneer in mobile enterprise and marketing technology, bridging the physical and electronic world with innovative direct-to-mobile-Web technology solutions. NeoMedia's flagship qode® service links users to the wireless, electronic world. NeoMedia is headquartered in Fort Myers, Florida, with an office in Aachen, Germany.

During the first quarter of 2006, NeoMedia acquired subsidiaries 12Snap AG of Munich, Sponge Ltd. of London, Gavitec AG of Aachen, Germany, Mobot, Inc. of Lexington, Massachusetts, and BSD Software, Inc. of Calgary, Canada. During August 2006, NeoMedia announced that it was selling its Micro Paint Repair business, acquired in February 2004. During the fourth quarter of 2006, NeoMedia divested of its Mobot and Sponge subsidiaries. During January 2007, NeoMedia made the strategic decision with respect to its corporate structure in 2007 and beyond, deciding to shed its remaining non-core 12Snap and NTS business units to focus on the area that management believes will deliver the most value - the core code-reading business. During April 2007, NeoMedia sold the 12Snap business.

As a result of the divestitures of 12Snap, Mobot and Sponge, and the proposed divestitures of NMPR and NeoMedia Telecom Services, beginning in the first quarter of 2007 NeoMedia began evaluating its business as one consolidated business, focusing on its core code-reading business and related intellectual property.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information included in this registration statement, including the matters addressed in “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding whether to buy our common stock. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
 
Risks Related to NeoMedia’s Business
 
NeoMedia Has Historically Lost Money And Losses May Continue
 
NeoMedia has incurred substantial operating losses since inception, and could continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. NeoMedia reported net losses of $14,096,000, $68,406,000, $9,147,000 and $7,230,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. NeoMedia's accumulated losses were $175,026,000, $160,930,000 and $92,524,000 as of June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and 2005, NeoMedia had a working capital deficit of $67,306,000, $69,048,000 and $2,065,000, respectively. NeoMedia had stockholders' equity/(deficit) of $(52,605,000), $(54,132,000) and $4,227,000 as of June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. NeoMedia generated revenues from continuing operations of $1,023,000, $10,309,000, $877,000, and $973,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2007 (unaudited), and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, NeoMedia recorded negative cash flows from continuing operations of $5,264,000, $9,958,000, $4,883,000, and $3,937,000, respectively. To succeed, NeoMedia must develop new client and customer relationships and substantially increase its revenue derived from improved products and additional value-added services. NeoMedia has expended, and to the extent it has available financing, NeoMedia intends to continue to expend, substantial resources to develop and improve its products, increase its value-added services and to market its products and services. These development and marketing expenses must be incurred well in advance of the recognition of revenue. As a result, NeoMedia may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

NeoMedia's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Have Added Going Concern Language To Their Report On NeoMedia's Consolidated Financial Statements, Which Means That NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Continue Operations
 
The report of Stonefield Josephson, Inc., NeoMedia's independent registered public accounting firm, with respect to NeoMedia's consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, indicates that, at the date of their report, NeoMedia had suffered significant recurring losses from operations and its working capital deficit raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. NeoMedia's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
 
NeoMedia Will Need to Raise Additional Funds to Continue Its Operations

NeoMedia had cash balances in continuing operations of $151,000 and $2,813,000 as of June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006, respectively. NeoMedia could receive additional cash at future dates from the following sources: (i) sale of its non-core business units NeoMedia Micro Paint Repair and NeoMedia Telecom Services, (ii) from the exercise of stock options, to the extent that the exercise price of such stock options is less than the market price of NeoMedia's common stock, and (iii) from the exercise of stock warrants, to the extent that the warrants become registered for resale and the exercise price of such stock warrants is less than the market price of NeoMedia's common stock at the time of exercise, and to the extent that the holder of such warrants does not elect to perform a “cashless” exercise, in which case NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds from the exercise. However, none of these events is contractually obligated. In order to satisfy its obligations that are currently due and that will come due, and maintain its operations in the absence of a material increase in revenues, NeoMedia will need to either generate from the sale of its non-core businesses, or raise additional cash from outside sources. The most likely source of cash in the short term is from the sale of the Micro Paint Repair and/or Telecom Services business unit.
 
In the event that (i) NeoMedia is unsuccessful in divesting of its remaining non-core business units in a timely fashion, (ii) NeoMedia's stock price does not increase to levels where it can force exercise of enough of its outstanding warrants to generate material operating capital, (iii) the market for NeoMedia's stock will not support the sale of shares underlying such warrants or other funding sources, or (iv) NeoMedia does not realize a material increase in revenue during the next 12 months, NeoMedia will have to seek additional cash sources. There can be no assurances that such funding sources will be available. If necessary funds are not available, NeoMedia's business and operations would be materially adversely affected and in such event, NeoMedia would be forced to attempt to reduce costs and adjust its business plan, and could be forced to sell certain of its assets.

If NeoMedia Fails to Remediate the Material Weaknesses in Its Internal Control over Financial Reporting, NeoMedia May Be Unable to Accurately Report Its Financial Results or Prevent Fraud which Could Result in a Loss of Investor Confidence in NeoMedia’s Financial Reports and Have an Adverse Effect on NeoMedia’s Business, Operating Results, and Stock Price

Management has assessed the effectiveness of NeoMedia’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, using the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO criteria). Based on its assessment of the design and related testing of NeoMedia’s internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that NeoMedia did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. Based on the COSO criteria, management identified certain control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses in NeoMedia’s controls over financial reporting identified as of December 31, 2006, as well as certain remediation efforts, are more fully disclosed under Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” of NeoMedia’s 2006 Form 10−K. As of June 30, 2007, management has remediated three of the control deficiencies identified in NeoMedia’s 2006 Form 10−K. Management is currently dedicating staffing and other resources to remediate the remaining control deficiencies.
 
NeoMedia Has Guaranteed The Value Of Stock Issued In Connection With Recent Mergers Through The Registration Of The Shares, Which Could Result In A Material Cash Liability
 
Pursuant to the terms of the original purchase agreement, in the event that NeoMedia’s stock price at the time the consideration shares are saleable (either upon effectiveness of a registration statement containing the shares, or under Rule 144) was less than $0.3956, NeoMedia was obligated to compensate 12Snap shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.3956. On February 22, 2007, the shares became eligible for resale under Rule 144. The actual calculated purchase price obligation to NeoMedia based on the volume weighted average closing price of NeoMedia stock for the ten days up to and including February 22, 2007 was $16,233,000. Because the amount of the purchase price guarantee became measurable and highly probable of occurrence beyond a reasonable doubt, as of December 31, 2006, NeoMedia reduced the fair value of the initial stock consideration by the amount of the contingency. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, NeoMedia issued 197,620,948 shares of its common stock in satisfaction of a portion of the purchase price obligation totaling $9,427,000, made cash payments against the liability totaling $372,000, accrued interest of $8,000, and retired an additional $1,760,000 of the obligation in connection with the sale of 12Snap. The balance on the purchase price obligation as of June 30, 2007 was $4,684,000. NeoMedia does not currently have sufficient cash resources to meet this obligation.
 
All Of The Company's Assets Are Pledged To Secure Certain Debt Obligations, Which The Company Could Fail To Repay
 
Pursuant to secured convertible debentures, dated as of March 27, 2007, August 24, 2006 and December 29, 2006, in the principal amount of $7,459,000, $5,000,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, issued to Cornell Capital Partners, LP, the Company was required to secure such secured convertible debentures' repayment with substantially all of its assets. In the event the Company is unable to repay the secured convertible debentures, it could lose all of its assets and be forced to cease its operations. If the Company is found to be in default under the debentures, the full principal amount of the debentures, together with interest and other amounts owing, may become immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in default of a covenant contained in the financing agreements due to the Company's failure to have a registration statement registering certain of the underlying shares of the convertible instruments declared effective by the specified date. NeoMedia is also in default of Series C convertible preferred stock with a face value of $22,000,000. As a result of the default, the holder of the securities could redeem the convertible debentures and preferred stock for cash at their discretion, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. Additionally, as a result of the default, Cornell Capital Partners currently has the right to exercise on a cashless basis 335,000,000 of the warrants they hold, and NeoMedia may not receive any cash proceeds from such exercises.

There Is Limited Information Upon Which Investors Can Evaluate NeoMedia's Business Because The Physical-World-To-Internet Market Has Existed For Only A Short Period Of Time
 
The physical-world-to-Internet market in which NeoMedia operates is a recently developed market. Further, NeoMedia has conducted operations in this market only since March 1996. Consequently, NeoMedia has a relatively limited operating history upon which an investor may base an evaluation of NeoMedia's primary business and determine NeoMedia's prospects for achieving its intended business objectives. To date, NeoMedia has had limited sales of its physical-world-to-Internet products. NeoMedia is prone to all of the risks inherent to the establishment of any new business venture, including unforeseen changes in its business plan. An investor should consider the likelihood of NeoMedia's future success to be highly speculative in light of its limited operating history in its primary market, as well as the limited resources, problems, expenses, risks, and complications frequently encountered by similarly situated companies in new and rapidly evolving markets, such as the physical-world-to-Internet space. To address these risks, NeoMedia must, among other things:

 
·
maintain and increase its client base;

 
·
implement and successfully execute its business and marketing strategy;

 
·
continue to develop and upgrade its products;

 
·
continually update and improve service offerings and features;

 
·
respond to industry and competitive developments; and

 
·
attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.

NeoMedia may not be successful in addressing these risks. If NeoMedia is unable to do so, its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
 
NeoMedia's Future Success Depends On The Timely Introduction Of New Products And The Acceptance Of These New Products In The Marketplace.

Rapid technological change and frequent new product introductions are typical for the markets NeoMedia serves. NeoMedia's future success will depend in large part on continuous, timely development and introduction of new products that address evolving market requirements. To the extent that NeoMedia fails to introduce new and innovative products, it may lose market share to its competitors, which may be difficult to regain. Any inability, for technological or other reasons, to successfully develop and introduce new products could materially and adversely affect NeoMedia's business.
 
NeoMedia's Common Stock Is Deemed To Be “Penny Stock,” Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements
 
NeoMedia’s common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These requirements may reduce the potential market for NeoMedia’s common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in NeoMedia’s common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause NeoMedia’s stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock:
 
 
·
with a price of less than $5.00 per share;

 
·
that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange;

 
·
whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or

 
·
in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6 million for the last three years.
 
11

 
Broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor.
 
Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution When Certain Investors Convert Their Preferred Stock to Common Stock, Convert Outstanding Convertible Debentures, Or When the Investors Exercise Their Warrants and Receive Common Stock Shares Under The Investment Agreement With The Investors

The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of Series C convertible preferred stock, the conversion of convertible debentures, or the exercise of warrants pursuant to NeoMedia's transactions with Cornell Capital Partners will have a dilutive impact on NeoMedia's stockholders. As a result, NeoMedia's net income or loss per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of its common stock could decline.  In addition, the lower NeoMedia's stock price is, the more shares of common stock NeoMedia will have to issue pursuant to the conversion of preferred stock or the convertible debentures.  If NeoMedia's stock price is lower, then existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. 
 
Due To The Accounting Treatment Of Certain Convertible Preferred Stock And Convertible Debenture Instruments Issued By NeoMedia, A Fluctuation In NeoMedia's Stock Price Could Have A Material Impact On NeoMedia's Results Of Operations
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (unaidited), and the year ended December 31, 2006, NeoMedia recognized (expense) income in the amount of ($2,386,000), $15,794,000, and $12,677,000, respectively, resulting from adjustments recorded to reflect the change in fair value from revaluation of warrants and embedded conversion features in connection with its Series C convertible preferred shares and its convertible debentures. NeoMedia will adjust the carrying value of its derivative instruments to market at each balance sheet date. As a result, NeoMedia could experience significant fluctuations in its net income (loss) in future periods from such charges based on corresponding movement in NeoMedia's share price.
 
NeoMedia Is Uncertain Of The Success Of Its NeoMedia Mobile Business Unit And The Failure Of This Unit Would Negatively Affect The Price Of NeoMedia's Stock
 
NeoMedia provides products and services that provide a link from physical objects, including printed material, to the mobile Internet. NeoMedia can provide no assurance that:
 
 
·
its NeoMedia Mobile business unit will ever achieve profitability;
 
 
·
its current product offerings will not be adversely affected by the focusing of its resources on the physical-world-to-Internet space; or
 
 
·
the products NeoMedia develops will obtain market acceptance.
 
In the event that the NeoMedia Mobile business unit should never achieve profitability, that NeoMedia’s current product offerings should so suffer, or that NeoMedia’s products fail to obtain market acceptance, NeoMedia’s business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.
 
A Large Percentage Of NeoMedia's Assets Are Intangible Assets, Which Will Have Little Or No Value If NeoMedia's Operations Are Unsuccessful 
 
At June 30, 2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 36%, 27% and 39%, respectively, of NeoMedia's total assets were intangible assets and goodwill used in continuing operations, consisting primarily of rights related to NeoMedia's patents, other intellectual property, and excess of purchase price over fair market value paid for Gavitec. If NeoMedia's operations are unsuccessful, these assets will have little or no value, which would materially adversely affect the value of NeoMedia's stock and the ability of NeoMedia's stockholders to recoup their investments in NeoMedia's capital stock.
 
NeoMedia reviews its amortizable intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. NeoMedia may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in its financial statements during the period in which any impairment of NeoMedia's goodwill or amortizable intangible assets is determined, resulting in an impact on results of operations.
 
12

 
Certain Of NeoMedia's Emerging Products And Services Have Limited History And May Not Result In Success
 
To date, NeoMedia has conducted limited marketing efforts directly relating to its emerging technology products, consisting primarily of the qode® suite of products, and certain products of recent acquisition of Gavitec. Many of NeoMedia's marketing efforts with respect to these emerging technologies have been largely untested in the marketplace, and may not result in materially increased sales of these emerging products and services. To penetrate the emerging markets in which it competes, NeoMedia expects that it will have to exert significant efforts to create awareness of, and demand for, its emerging products and services. To the extent funding is available, NeoMedia intends to continue to expand its sales and marketing resources as the market continues to mature. NeoMedia's failure to further develop its sales and marketing capabilities and successfully market its emerging products and services would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
NeoMedia's Internally Developed Systems Are Inefficient And May Put NeoMedia At A Competitive Disadvantage
 
NeoMedia uses internally developed technologies for a portion of its systems integration services, as well as the technologies required to interconnect its clients' and customers' physical-world-to-Internet systems and hardware with its own. As NeoMedia develops these systems in order to integrate disparate systems and hardware on a case-by-case basis, these systems are inefficient and require a significant amount of customization. Such client and customer-specific customization is time consuming and costly and may place NeoMedia at a competitive disadvantage when compared to competitors with more efficient systems.
 
NeoMedia Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel
 
NeoMedia's future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract, train, and retain additional highly skilled executive level management, creative, technical, and sales personnel. Competition is intense for these types of personnel from other technology companies and more established organizations, many of which have significantly larger operations and greater financial, marketing, human, and other resources than NeoMedia has. NeoMedia may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. NeoMedia's failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
NeoMedia Depends Upon Its Senior Management And Their Loss Or Unavailability Could Put NeoMedia At A Competitive Disadvantage
 
NeoMedia's success depends largely on the skills of certain key management and technical personnel, including William J. Hoffman, the Company’s CEO since June 2007, Dr. Christian Steinborn, managing director of NeoMedia's Gavitec AG - mobile digit subsidiary in Germany and head of NeoMedia's mobile division in Europe and Asia, and Charles W. Fritz, NeoMedia's founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The loss of the services of these individuals could materially harm NeoMedia's business because of the cost and time necessary to replace and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. NeoMedia does not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on any of these key individuals. During December 2006, Charles T. Jensen, NeoMedia's former President and Chief Executive Officer, Martin N. Copus, NeoMedia's former Chief Operating Officer and the head of its NeoMedia Mobile business unit, and William E. Fritz, outside director, each resigned their positions. During April 2007, Roger Pavane, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, resigned his position. During June 2007, David A. Dodge, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, resigned his position.
 
NeoMedia May Be Unsuccessful In Integrating Its Gavitec Acquisition With Its Current Business
 
The success of the acquisition of Gavitec could depend on the ability of NeoMedia's executive management to integrate the business plan of Gavitec with NeoMedia's overall business plan. Failure to properly integrate the business could have a material adverse effect on the expected revenue and operations of the acquisition, as well as the expected return on investment for NeoMedia. During the first quarter of 2006, NeoMedia acquired three businesses, 12Snap, Mobot and Sponge, each of which was has been sold as of the date of this filing. In addition, during February 2007 NeoMedia decided to attempt to sell its wholly owned subsidiary NeoMedia Telecom Services, which was acquired during the first quarter of 2006.
 
NeoMedia May Be Unable To Protect Its Intellectual Property Rights And May Be Liable For Infringing The Intellectual Property Rights Of Others
 
NeoMedia's success in the physical-world-to-Internet market is dependent upon its proprietary technology, including patents and other intellectual property, and on the ability to protect proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights. In addition, NeoMedia must conduct its operations without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. NeoMedia also intends to rely upon unpatented trade secrets and the know-how and expertise of its employees, as well as its patents. To protect its proprietary technology and other intellectual property, NeoMedia relies primarily on a combination of the protections provided by applicable patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws as well as on confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements. Although NeoMedia believes that it has taken appropriate steps to protect its unpatented proprietary rights, including requiring that its employees and third parties who are granted access to NeoMedia's proprietary technology enter into confidentiality agreements, NeoMedia can provide no assurance that these measures will be sufficient to protect its rights against third parties. Others may independently develop or otherwise acquire patented or unpatented technologies or products similar or superior to NeoMedia's.
 
13

 
NeoMedia licenses from third parties certain software tools that are included in NeoMedia's services and products. If any of these licenses were terminated, NeoMedia could be required to seek licenses for similar software from other third parties or develop these tools internally. NeoMedia may not be able to obtain such licenses or develop such tools in a timely fashion, on acceptable terms, or at all. Companies participating in the software and Internet technology industries are frequently involved in disputes relating to intellectual property. NeoMedia may in the future be required to defend its intellectual property rights against infringement, duplication, discovery, and misappropriation by third parties or to defend against third party claims of infringement. Likewise, disputes may arise in the future with respect to ownership of technology developed by employees who were previously employed by other companies. Any such litigation or disputes could result in substantial costs to, and a diversion of effort by, NeoMedia. An adverse determination could subject NeoMedia to significant liabilities to third parties, require NeoMedia to seek licenses from, or pay royalties to, third parties, or require NeoMedia to develop appropriate alternative technology. Some or all of these licenses may not be available to NeoMedia on acceptable terms or at all, and NeoMedia may be unable to develop alternate technology at an acceptable price or at all. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
NeoMedia Is Exposed To Product Liability Claims And An Uninsured Claim Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On NeoMedia's Business, Prospects, Financial Condition, And Results Of Operations, As Well As The Value Of NeoMedia's Stock
 
Many of NeoMedia’s projects are critical to the operations of its clients’ businesses. Any failure in a client’s information system could result in a claim for substantial damages against NeoMedia, regardless of NeoMedia’s responsibility for such failure. NeoMedia could, therefore, be subject to claims in connection with the products and services that it sells. NeoMedia currently maintains product liability insurance. There can be no assurance that:
 
 
·
NeoMedia has contractually limited its liability for such claims adequately or at all; or
 
 
·
NeoMedia would have sufficient resources to satisfy any liability resulting from any such claim.
 
The successful assertion of one or more large claims against NeoMedia could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
NeoMedia Will Not Pay Cash Dividends And Investors May Have To Sell Their Shares In Order To Realize Their Investment
 
NeoMedia has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. NeoMedia intends to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and marketing of NeoMedia's products and services. As a result, investors may have to sell their shares of common stock to realize their investment.
 
Some Provisions Of NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation And bylaws May Deter Takeover Attempts, Which May Limit The Opportunity Of NeoMedia's Stockholders To Sell Their Shares At A Premium To The Then-Current Market Price
 
Some of the provisions of NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire NeoMedia, even if doing so might be beneficial to NeoMedia's stockholders by providing them with the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium to the then-current market price. On December 10, 1999, NeoMedia's Board of Directors adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a non-taxable dividend of one right to acquire Series A Preferred Stock of NeoMedia, par value $0.01 per share, on each outstanding share of NeoMedia's common stock to stockholders of record on December 10, 1999 and each share of common stock issued thereafter until a pre-defined hostile takeover date. The stockholder rights plan was adopted as an anti-takeover measure, commonly referred to as a “poison pill.” The stockholder rights plan was designed to enable all stockholders not engaged in a hostile takeover attempt to receive fair and equal treatment in any proposed takeover of NeoMedia and to guard against partial or two-tiered tender offers, open market accumulations, and other hostile tactics to gain control of NeoMedia. The stockholders rights plan was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of NeoMedia at the time of adoption. This stockholders rights plan may have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, discouraging, preventing, or rendering more costly an acquisition of NeoMedia or a change in control of NeoMedia. Certain of NeoMedia's directors, officers and principal stockholders, Charles W. Fritz, William E. Fritz and The Fritz Family Limited Partnership and their holdings were exempted from the triggering provisions of NeoMedia's “poison pill” plan, as a result of the fact that, as of the plan's adoption, their holdings might have otherwise triggered the “poison pill”.
 
14

 
In addition, NeoMedia's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to designate and issue preferred stock, in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights, including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion, redemption rights, and sinking fund provisions.
 
NeoMedia is authorized to issue a total of 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The issuance of any preferred stock could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of NeoMedia's common stock, and, therefore, could reduce the value of shares of NeoMedia's common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict NeoMedia's ability to merge with, or sell NeoMedia's assets to, a third party. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, discouraging, preventing, or rendering more costly an acquisition of NeoMedia or a change in NeoMedia's control.

Risks Relating To NeoMedia's Industry
 
The Security Of The Internet Poses Risks To The Success Of NeoMedia's Entire Business
 
Concerns over the security of the Internet and other electronic transactions, and the privacy of consumers and merchants, may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions, which may have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet business.
 
NeoMedia Will Only Be Able To Execute Its Physical-World-To-Internet Business Plan If Internet Usage and Electronic Commerce Continue To Grow
 
NeoMedia's future revenues and any future profits are substantially dependent upon the widespread acceptance and use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones. If use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones does not continue to grow or grows more slowly than expected, or if the infrastructure for the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones does not effectively support the growth that may occur, or does not become a viable commercial marketplace, NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet business, and therefore NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, could be materially adversely affected. Rapid growth in the use of, and interest in, the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones is a recent phenomenon, and may not continue on a lasting basis. In addition, customers may not adopt, and continue to use mobile telephones as a medium of information retrieval or commerce. Demand and market acceptance for recently introduced services and products over the mobile Internet are subject to a high level of uncertainty, and few services and products have generated profits. For NeoMedia to be successful, consumers and businesses must be willing to accept and use novel and cost efficient ways of conducting business and exchanging information.
 
In addition, the public in general may not accept the use of the Internet and camera devices on mobile telephones as a viable commercial or information marketplace for a number of reasons, including potentially inadequate development of the necessary network infrastructure or delayed development of enabling technologies and performance improvements. To the extent that mobile phone Internet usage continues to experience significant growth in the number of users, their frequency of use, or in their bandwidth requirements, the infrastructure for the mobile Internet may be unable to support the demands placed upon them. In addition, the mobile Internet and mobile interactivity could lose its viability due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols required to handle increased levels of mobile Internet activity, or due to increased governmental regulation. Significant issues concerning the commercial and informational use of the mobile Internet, and online networks technologies, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use, and quality of service, remain unresolved and may inhibit the growth of Internet business solutions that utilize these technologies. Changes in, or insufficient availability of, telecommunications services to support the Internet, the Web or other online services also could result in slower response times and adversely affect usage of the Internet, the Web and other online networks generally and NeoMedia's physical-world-to-Internet product and networks in particular.
 
NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Adapt As The Internet, Physical-World-To-Internet, And Customer Demands Continue To Evolve
 
NeoMedia may not be able to adapt as the mobile Internet and physical-world-to-Internet markets and consumer demands continue to evolve. NeoMedia’s failure to respond in a timely manner to changing market conditions or client requirements would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. The mobile Internet and physical-world-to-Internet markets are characterized by:
 
 
·
rapid technological change;
 
 
·
changes in user and customer requirements and preferences;
 
 
·
frequent new product and service introductions embodying new technologies; and
 
 
·
the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render proprietary technology and hardware and software infrastructure obsolete.

NeoMedia’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to:
 
 
·
enhance and improve the responsiveness and functionality of its products and services;
 
16

 
 
·
license or develop technologies useful in its business on a timely basis;

 
·
enhance its existing services, and develop new services and technologies that address the increasingly sophisticated and varied needs of NeoMedia’s prospective or current customers; and

 
·
respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis.
 
NeoMedia May Not Be Able To Compete Effectively In Markets Where Its Competitors Have More Resources
 
While the market for physical-world-to-Internet technology is relatively new, it is already highly competitive and characterized by an increasing number of entrants that have introduced or developed products and services similar to those offered by NeoMedia. NeoMedia believes that competition will intensify and increase in the near future. NeoMedia's target market is rapidly evolving and is subject to continuous technological change. As a result, NeoMedia's competitors may be better positioned to address these developments or may react more favorably to these changes, which could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Some of NeoMedia's competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, longer relationships with clients, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and public relations resources than NeoMedia. NeoMedia may not successfully compete in any market in which it conducts or may conduct operations. NeoMedia may not be able to penetrate markets or market its products as effectively as NeoMedia's better-funded more-established competitors.
 
In The Future There Could Be Government Regulations And Legal Uncertainties Which Could Harm NeoMedia's Business
 
Any new legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to NeoMedia's business, or the application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and other online services, could have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, the Web and other online services, federal, state, and local governments may adopt laws and regulations, or amend existing laws and regulations, with respect to the Internet or other online services covering issues such as taxation, user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and quality of products and services. The growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws to impose additional burdens on companies conducting business online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease the growth of the Internet, the Web or other online services, which could, in turn, decrease the demand for NeoMedia's services and increase NeoMedia's cost of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on NeoMedia's business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the relevant governmental authorities have not resolved the applicability to the Internet, the Web and other online services of existing laws in various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership and personal privacy and it may take time to resolve these issues definitively.

Certain of NeoMedia's proprietary technology allows for the storage of demographic data from NeoMedia's users. In 2000, the European Union adopted a directive addressing data privacy that may limit the collection and use of certain information regarding Internet users. This directive may limit NeoMedia's ability to collect and use information collected by NeoMedia's technology in certain European countries. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission and several state governments have investigated the use by certain Internet companies of personal information. NeoMedia could incur significant additional expenses if new regulations regarding the use of personal information are introduced or if NeoMedia's privacy practices are investigated.

Risks Specific To This Offering
 
As of August 1, 2007, we had 900,699,016 shares of common stock outstanding, and options and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 548,419,744 shares of common stock. We currently have Series C Convertible preferred stock with a face value of $21,377,000, and convertible debentures with a face value of $14,959,000 outstanding. These instruments are convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts as high as 10% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. Up to 100,000,000 common shares underlying the convertible debentures and 112,650,000 shares underlying warrants , are being registered hereunder.
 
Existing Shareholders Will Experience Significant Dilution When Certain Investors Convert Their Preferred Stock or Convertible Debentures to Common Stock, or When the Investors Exercise Their Warrants and Receive Shares Of Common Stock Under the Investment Agreement with the Investors

The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or secured convertible debentures pursuant to our transactions with Cornell Capital Partners and the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. As a result, our net income or loss per share could decrease in future periods, and the market price of our common stock could decline.  In addition, the lower our stock price is, the more shares of common stock we will have to issue pursuant to the conversion of our preferred stock.  If our stock price is lower, then our existing stockholders would experience greater dilution. 
 
The Market Price Of Our Securities May Be Volatile
 
As a result of the emerging and evolving nature of the markets in which we compete, as well as the current nature of the public markets and our current financial condition, our operating results may fluctuate materially, as a result of which quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful. If in some future quarters, whether as a result of such a fluctuation or otherwise, our results of operations fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely be materially and adversely affected. An investor should not rely on our results of any interim period as an indication of our future performance. Additionally, our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Factors that may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate include, among others:
 
 
·
the ability to retain existing clients and customers;
 
 
·
the ability to attract new clients and customers at a steady rate;
 
 
·
the ability to maintain client satisfaction;
 
 
·
the ability to motivate potential clients and customers to acquire and implement new technologies;
 
 
·
the extent to which our products gain market acceptance;
 
 
·
the timing and size of client and customer purchases;
 
 
·
introductions of products and services by competitors;
 
 
·
price competition in the markets in which we compete;
 
 
·
the pricing of hardware and software that we resell or integrate into our products;
 
 
·
the level of use of the mobile Internet and online services, as well as the rate of market acceptance of physical-world-to-Internet marketing;
 
 
·
the ability to upgrade and develop our systems and infrastructure in a timely and effective manner;
 
 
·
the ability to attract, train, and retain skilled management, strategic, technical, and creative professionals;
 
18

 
 
·
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure;
 
 
·
unanticipated technical, legal, and regulatory difficulties with respect to use of the Internet; and
 
 
·
general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to Internet technology usage and electronic commerce.
 
Our common stock has traded as low as $0.01 and as high as $0.722 between January 1, 2003 and August 1, 2007. Since February 9, 2006, NeoMedia’s stock has been subject to dramatic price volatility. Between February 9, 2006 and August 1, 2007, NeoMedia’s stock has traded as low as $0.02 per share and as high as $0.42 per share. From time to time after this offering, the market price of our common stock may experience significant volatility. Our quarterly results, failure to meet analysts’ expectations, announcements by us or our competitors regarding acquisitions or dispositions, loss of existing clients, new procedures or technology, changes in general conditions in the economy, and general market conditions could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many technology companies. These price and volume fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies.
 
You May Suffer Significant Additional Dilution If Outstanding Options And Warrants Are Exercised
 
As of August 10, 2007, we had outstanding stock options and warrants to purchase 548,419,744 shares of common stock, some of which have exercise prices at or below the price of our common shares on the public market. To the extent such options or warrants are exercised, there will be further dilution. In addition, in the event that any future financing should be in the form of, be convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities, and upon the exercise of options and warrants, investors may experience additional dilution.
 
19

 
Future Sales Of Common Stock By Our Stockholders Could Adversely Affect Our Stock Price And Our Ability To Raise Funds In New Stock Offerings
 
The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market as a result of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. The potential aggregate dilutive effect on stockholders of financing and acquisition arrangements in place as of August 1, 2007, assuming various stock prices at the time of the transactions, are as follows:

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management’s plans and objectives for future operations including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this Prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under “About NeoMedia Technologies, Inc.” as well as in this Prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will in fact occur.
 
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change in conditions in our business, that demand for our products will significantly increase, that our executive officers will remain employed as such, that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business or in governmental regulations affecting us or our manufacturers and/or suppliers. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the “Risk Factors” section of this Prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Growth in absolute and relative amounts of cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this Prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
 
Some of the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statement in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a “forward-looking statement” Further, when we use the words “ may”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek”, “estimate”, “internal”, and similar words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward-looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed below. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described under “Risk Factors” below or elsewhere in this Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In such a case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling security holders. We will, however, receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants held by the selling security holders.
 
For illustrative purposes, we have set forth the potential proceeds to be received from the exercise of warrants being registered hereunder. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $50,000.

A significant portion of the potential proceeds relate to warrants that were not in-the-money based on a stock price of $0.02, which was the last sale price on August 1, 2007. As a result, for informational purposes we have shown the total proceeds from warrants that were in-the-money as of August 1, 2007.
 
On February 17, 2006, in connection with the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock sale, we issued “A” warrants, “B” warrants and “C” warrants to purchase 20,000,000, 25,000,000, and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, exercisable in three separate traunches at a price of $0.50, $0.40 and $0.35, respectively, per share. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. As an inducement to enter into subsequent financing arrangements related to Cornell Debentures, the warrants were repriced on December 29, 2006 to $0.04 per share, subject to all the original terms and conditions of the respective warrant agreements. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. None of the shares underlying these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder.
 
On August 24, 2006, in connection with the $5 million Secured Convertible Debenture, Cornell Capital Partners also received “A” warrants, “B” warrants, “C” warrants and “D” warrants to purchase 25,000,000, 50,000,000, 50,000,000, and 50,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively, exercisable in four separate traunches at a price of $0.15, $0.05, $0.20, and $0.25, respectively, per share. As an inducement to enter into subsequent financing arrangements related to Cornell Debentures, 125,000,000 of the warrants priced above $0.05 per share were repriced on December 29, 2006 to $0.04 per share, subject to all the original terms and conditions of the respective warrant agreements. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. None of the shares underlying these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder.
 
On December 29, 2006, in connection with the $2.5 million Secured Convertible Debenture, we issued to Cornell Capital Partners issued a warrant to purchase 42,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.06 per share. The warrant has a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 10 consecutive trading days. None of the shares underlying these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder.
 
On March 27, 2007, in connection with the $7.5 million Secured Convertible Debenture, we issued to Cornell Capital Partners issued a warrant to purchase 125,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $0.04 per share. The warrant has a five-year contractual life. The warrant does not contain a forced exercise clause. None of the shares underlying these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder.

It is important to note that the warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners contain a provision that, if NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a “cashless” exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead to withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a “cashless” exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. NeoMedia is currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on February 17, 2006 (as amended by a Master Amendment Agreement entered into on March 27, 2007 in connection with the March 2007 convertible debenture), which called for a registration statement containing the shares underlying the secured convertible debentures to be filed by June 1, 2006; and the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on August 24, 2006 in connection with the secured convertible debentures, which called for the shares underlying the secured convertible debentures to be registered by November 22, 2006. Such a default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreements constitutes an event of default under all of the warrant agreements. As a result, Cornell Capital Partners currently has the right to exercise on a cashless basis 417,000,000 of the warrants they hold.
 
NeoMedia expects to use any proceeds from warrant exercises for general working capital purposes.

DILUTION
 
NeoMedia’s net tangible book value as of June 30, 2007 (including tangible assets and liabilities held for sale in connection with the sale of our 12Snap, Micro Paint Repair, and Telecom Services businesses) was $(46,477,000) (unaudited) or $(0.0516) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible book value (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Our net tangible book value will be impacted by the common stock to be issued upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures, as well as upon conversion of certain warrants for which the underlying shares are being registered hereunder. Because the secured convertible debentures convert at a discount to the market price of NeoMedia stock at the time of conversion, the amount of dilution will depend on NeoMedia’s share price at the time that the secured convertible debentures are converted. In addition, we expect that certain warrants being registered hereunder will not be exercised if the market price of our common stock is less than the exercise price of the warrants. The following example shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $0.02 per share (net of applicable discount to Cornell Capital Partners at conversion).
 
If we assume (i) Cornell Capital Partners converted its secured convertible debentures into the maximum number of common shares being registered hereunder (100,000,000 shares) at an assumed offering price of $0.02 per share (net of applicable discounts), and (ii) all in-the-money warrants being registered hereunder were converted, then net of offering expenses of $50,000, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2007 would have been ($44,702,000) or ($0.0446) per share. Such an offering would represent an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $0.0070 per share and an immediate dilution to new stockholders of $0.0646 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution:

Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 900,699,016 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 1, 2007, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of August 1, 2007, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 1, 2007, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The common stock is the only outstanding class of equity securities of NeoMedia.

Cornell Capital Partners, LP holds (i) 21,377 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 97% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.50; (ii) $5,000,000 face value secured convertible debenture that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 90% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.15; (iii) $2,500,000 face value secured convertible debenture that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 90% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.06; (iv) $7,458,651 face value secured convertible debenture that is convertible into shares of NeoMedia common stock at the lesser of 90% of the lowest closing bid price for the 30 trading days immediately prior to conversion, or $0.05, (v) warrants to purchase up to 335,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share; (vi) warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share; and (vii) warrants to purchase up to 42,000,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share. The Series C convertible preferred stock, the secured convertible debentures, and certain of the warrant agreements contain provisions whereby Cornell Capital Partners may not own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of NeoMedia, and beneficial ownership is therefore limited to 4.99% of NeoMedia's outstanding shares. Shares being registered hereunder include 100,000,000 shares underlying secured convertible debentures and 100,000,000 shares underlying warrants issued in connection with the $5 million secured convertible debenture in August 2006.

Material Transactions With Selling Stockholders

Cornell Capital Partners

Securities Purchase Agreement - Series C Convertible Preferred Stock - February 2006
 
We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 17, 2006 (the “Series C Agreement”) with Cornell Capital Partners LP, an accredited investor (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Series C Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock to be fully converted three (3) years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $22,000,000, consisting of cash of $14,066,000, marketable securities with a purchase value of $2,000,000, commitment and structuring fees paid to the Purchaser in the amount of $2,725,000, and the extinguishment of $3,209,000 of preexisting indebtedness owed by us to the Purchasers. The marketable securities received consisted of 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Pickups Plus, Inc. (“PUPS”) and various promissory notes payable by PUPS to the holder with a face value of $1,365,000. The aggregate fair value of the PUPS common shares and notes was determined to be $579,000 as of February 17, 2006. NeoMedia was previously party to a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a subsidiary of PUPS for a combination of cash and stock. NeoMedia’s Micro Paint Repair business unit (currently subject to a pending sale) also acts as a distributor for certain of PUPS’ products in China.

The Series C Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The Series C Agreement also called for the purchasers to acquire an additional $5,000,000 of Series C convertible preferred stock on the date a registration statement filed by us was declared effective by the SEC. The requirement to fund this additional $5,000,000 was subsequently waived in connection with a secured convertible debenture entered into between us and the purchaser in August 2006.

In connection with the Series C Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers that requires us to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness by December 1, 2006, and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require us to incur liquidated damages amounting to 1% of the outstanding amount of Series C preferred stock per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidated damages exceed $1,200,000. On March 27, 2007, we paid $882,000 of liquidated damages from the proceeds of a secured convertible debenture entered into on that date. On March 27, 2007, we also entered into a Master Amendment Agreement that changed the filing and effectiveness deadlines for shares underlying the Series C Convertible preferred Stock to April 12, 2007 and May 10, 2007, respectively. We accrued additional liquidated damages relating to the Series C Agreement of up to $318,000.

On February 17, 2006, we issued the Purchasers $22,000,000 in aggregate amount of such 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock. At any time from the closing date until February 17, 2009, the Purchasers have the right to convert the preferred stock, in whole or in part, into our common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to our trading stock price, as follows: $0.50 per share, or 97% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversions are limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The limitation will terminate under any event of default.

The Series C convertible preferred stock, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchasers anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the Series C preferred stock instruments are outstanding, we offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible preferred stock shares shall be reduced to the lower price. In case of any such adjustment in the effective conversion price for the convertible preferred shares, this could significantly dilute existing investors.
 
Under the Series C Agreement, the Purchasers also received “A” warrants, “B” warrants and “C” warrants to purchase 20,000,000, 25,000,000, and 30,000,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, exercisable in three separate traunches at a price of $0.50, $0.40 and $0.35, respectively, per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. As an inducement to enter into subsequent financing arrangements related to Cornell Debentures, the warrants were repriced on December 29, 2006 to $0.04 per share, subject to all the original terms and conditions of the respective warrant agreements. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. All 75,000,000 of these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder. It is important to note that the warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners contain a provision that, if at the time of exercise, NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a “cashless” exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead to withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a “cashless” exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. NeoMedia is currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on February 17, 2006 (as amended by the Master Amendment Agreement dated March 27, 2007). Such a default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement constitutes an event of default under the warrant agreements issued in connection with the Series C convertible preferred stock. As a result, Cornell Capital Partners currently has the right to exercise on a cashless basis the 75,000,000 warrants that were issued in connection with the Series C convertible preferred stock.
 
28

 
The fair value of net proceeds received by NeoMedia in the transaction was $17,854,000, and the balance of $4,146,000 was afforded to the Purchasers as a discount. The discount afforded to the Purchasers, including the fair value of warrants granted, is substantial and could have a negative effect on current and future stockholders due to additional dilution shareholders may experience if and when the Purchasers exercise such warrants.
 
On November 29, 2006, the Purchaser exercised the conversion of 378 shares of the Series C convertible preferred stock for 6,631,579 shares of NeoMedia’s common stock, leaving a balance of 21,622 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock outstanding.

The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock contains consequences in case of an event of default. Events of default which could subject the Company to penalties and liabilities as specified in the Series C Agreement include:
 
 
·
Any case or action of bankruptcy or insolvency commenced by us or any subsidiary, against us or adjudicated by a court against us for the benefit of creditors;
 
 
·
Any default in our obligations under a mortgage or debt in excess of $100,000;
 
 
·
Any cessation in the eligibility of our stock to be quoted on a trading market;
 
 
·
Failure to timely file the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, or failure to make the registration statement effective timely.
 
 
·
Any lapse in the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, the warrants as described and transacted in the Series C Agreement and accompanying documents;
 
 
·
Any failure to deliver certificates within the specified time; and
 
 
·
Any failure by us to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a buy-in or failure to pay any amounts owed on account on account of an event of default within 10 days of the date due.
 
Other provisions included in the Series C Agreement include the following:
 
 
·
The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible into common stock, at the option of the Purchaser, at any time after the effective date.
 
 
·
Conversions can be made in increments and from time to time.
 
 
·
The 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock has voting rights on an “as converted” basis, meaning the Purchaser is entitled to vote the number of shares of common stock into which the 8% cumulative Series C convertible preferred stock was convertible as of the record date for a meeting of shareholders
 
 
·
As promptly as practicable after any conversion date, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing the converted shares, free of any legends and trading restrictions for the number of shares converted;
 
 
·
We will reserve and keep available authorized and unissued registered shares available to be issued upon conversion;
 
29

 
 
·
Purchaser will not be responsible for any transfer taxes relative to issuance of shares;
 
 
·
If we offer, sell or grant stock at an effective per share price less than the then Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the effective conversion, exchange or purchase price for such common stock or common stock equivalents;
 
Due to the current default status, the Purchaser has certain material additional rights in this financing arrangement that did not exist prior to default. Specifically,
 
 
·
The full fair value of the Series C convertible preferred stock is now callable in the amount of $21,657,000;
 
 
·
The warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis as described above; and
 
 
·
NeoMedia is responsible for liquidated damages as described above.
 
$5 Million Secured Convertible Debenture - August 2006
 
We entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 24, 2006, (the “August Debenture Agreement”) with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the August Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000. The August Debenture Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In connection with the August Debenture Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers that requires us to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness within a stated period and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require us to incur liquidated damages amounting to 2% of the principal per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidated damages exceed $1,000,000. We paid $490,000 of the accrued liquidated damages on March 27, 2007, from the proceeds of a secured convertible debenture entered into on that date. On March 27, 2007, we also entered into a Master Amendment Agreement that changed the filing and effectiveness deadlines for shares underlying the Series C Convertible preferred Stock to April 12, 2007 and May 10, 2007, respectively. The debentures are secured by substantially all of our assets.

On August 24, 2006, we issued the Purchasers $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of such convertible debentures. At any time from the closing date until August 24, 2008, the Purchasers have the right to convert the convertible debenture into our common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to our trading stock price, as follows: $0.15 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership, unless the holders waive their right to such limitation. The limitation will terminate under any event of default.

The convertible debenture, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchasers anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the convertible debenture is outstanding, we offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible debenture shall be reduced to the lower price. In case of any such adjustment in the effective conversion price for the convertible debenture, this could significantly dilute existing investors.
 
Under the August Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers also received “A” warrants, “B” warrants, “C” warrants and “D” warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 175,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable in four separate traunches at a price of $0.15, $0.25, $0.20 and $0.05 respectively per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.10 greater than the exercise price of any of the warrants for 15 consecutive trading days. All 175,000,000 of these warrants are being registered for resale hereunder. It is important to note that the warrants held by Cornell Capital Partners contain a provision that, if at the time of exercise, NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a “cashless” exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead to withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a “cashless” exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. NeoMedia is currently in default of: the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on August 24, 2006 (as amended by the Master Amendment Agreement dated March 27, 2007) in connection with the secured convertible debentures. Such a default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement constitutes an event of default under the warrant agreements. As a result, Cornell Capital Partners currently has the right to exercise on a cashless basis 175,000,000 of the warrants they hold that were issued in connection with the secured convertible debenture.
 
30

 
Additionally, effective as of September 8, 2006, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate all further obligations of Cornell Capital Partners to fund an additional $5,000,000 in the form of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, as contemplated by the Series C Agreement dated February 17, 2006.

The convertible debenture contains consequences in case of default. Events of default which could subject the Company to penalties, liabilities, and foreclosure upon the assets of the Company as specified in the Agreement include:
 
 
·
Any case or action of bankruptcy or insolvency commenced by the Company or any subsidiary, against the Company or adjudicated by a court against the Company for the benefit of creditors;
 
 
·
Any default in its obligations under a mortgage or debt in excess of $100,000;
 
 
·
Any cessation in the eligibility of the Company’s stock to be quoted on a trading market;
 
 
·
Failure to timely file the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, or failure to make the registration statement effective timely (NeoMedia is in default of this provision);
 
 
·
Any lapse in the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, the warrants as described and transacted in the securities purchase agreement and accompanying documents;
 
 
·
Any failure to deliver certificates within the specified time; and
 
 
·
Any failure, by the Company, to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a buy-in or failure to pay any amounts owed on account on account of an event of default within 3 days of the date due.
 
Other provisions included in the Agreement include the following:
 
 
·
The convertible debenture is convertible into common stock, at the option of the Purchaser, at any time after the effective date;
 
 
·
As promptly as practicable after any conversion date, and subject to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing the converted shares, free of any legends and trading restrictions for the number of shares converted;
 
 
·
The Company will reserve and keep available authorized and unissued registered shares available to be issued upon conversion;
 
 
·
Purchaser will not be responsible for any transfer taxes relative to issuance of shares;
 
 
·
If the Company offers, sells or grants stock at an effective per share price less than the then Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the effective conversion, exchange or purchase price for such common stock or common stock equivalents;
 
 
·
Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debenture agreement between NeoMedia and Cornell signed in connection with the convertible debenture sale, without Cornell’s consent NeoMedia cannot
 
 
·
issue or sell any shares of Common Stock or preferred stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance,
 
31

 
 
·
issue or sell any preferred stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire common stock for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance,
 
 
·
enter into any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any of its assets of, or
 
 
·
file any registration statements on Form S-8.
 
 
·
Pursuant to a security agreement between NeoMedia and the Purchaser signed in connection with the convertible debenture, the Purchaser has a security interest in all of NeoMedia’s assets.
 
NeoMedia is currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on August 24, 2006, in connection with the secured convertible debenture, because the registration statement to register the shares underlying the secured convertible debenture was not declared effective by the specified date. Due to the current default status, the Purchaser has certain material additional rights in this financing arrangement that did not previously exist. Specifically,
 
 
·
The full fair value of the secured convertible debenture is now callable in the amount of $5,000,000;
 
 
·
The warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis as described above; and
 
 
·
NeoMedia is responsible for liquidated damages; NeoMedia has accrued $999,000 as the expected fair value of liquidated damages relating to the secured convertible debenture as of March 31, 2007, and paid $490,000 of the accrued liquidated damages as of March 31, 2007.
 
$2.5 Million Secured Convertible Debenture - December 2006
 
We entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 29, 2006, (the “December Debenture Agreement”) with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the December Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers agreed to purchase 10% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $2,500,000. The December Debenture Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchasers, at no additional cost to the purchasers, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In connection with the December Debenture Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers that requires us to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture and the exercise of the warrants, (ii) achieve effectiveness within a stated period and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require us to incur liquidated damages amounting to 2% of the principal per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidated damages exceed $500,000. The debentures are secured by substantially all of our assets.

On December 29, 2006, we issued the Purchasers $2,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of such convertible debentures. At any time from the closing date until December 29, 2008, the Purchasers have the right to convert the convertible debenture into our common stock at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to our trading stock price, as follows: $0.06 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership

The convertible debenture, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchasers anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the convertible debenture is outstanding, we offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible debenture shall be reduced to the lower price. In case of any such adjustment in the effective conversion price for the convertible debenture, this could significantly dilute existing investors.
 
Under the December Debenture Agreement, the Purchasers also received a warrant to purchase up to 42,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. NeoMedia can force exercise of the warrants if the closing bid price of NeoMedia stock is more than $0.16 for ten consecutive trading days. No shares underlying the December Debenture Agreement or the 42,000,000 warrants issued in connection with the December Debenture Agreement are being registered for resale hereunder.

The convertible debenture contains consequences in case of default. Events of default which could subject the Company to penalties, liabilities, and foreclosure upon the assets of the Company as specified in the Agreement include:
 
 
·
Any case or action of bankruptcy or insolvency commenced by the Company or any subsidiary, against the Company or adjudicated by a court against the Company for the benefit of creditors;

Any failure, by the Company, to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a buy-in or failure to pay any amounts owed on account on account of an event of default within 3 days of the date due.
 
Other provisions included in the Agreement include the following:
 
 
·
The convertible debenture is convertible into common stock, at the option of the Purchaser, at any time after the effective date;

As promptly as practicable after any conversion date, and subject to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing the converted shares, free of any legends and trading restrictions for the number of shares converted;

The Company will reserve and keep available authorized and unissued registered shares available to be issued upon conversion;
 
 
·
Purchaser will not be responsible for any transfer taxes relative to issuance of shares;

The warrant amendments each contain a stipulation whereby, for a period of six months, NeoMedia shall have the right to redeem the warrants on a cashless basis at an effective price of $0.12 per share.

$7.5 Million Secured Convertible Debenture - March 2007

We entered into an additional Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2007, (the “March Debenture Agreement”) with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the March Debenture Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase 13% secured convertible debentures maturing two years from the date of issuance in the aggregate amount of $7,459,000. NeoMedia received cash proceeds from the transaction of $5,000,000, net of $781,000 fees paid to the Purchaser, and $1,678,000 payment of accrued interest and liquidated damages related to previous financings with Purchaser. The Agreement also provided for the issuance to the Purchaser, at no additional cost to the Purchaser, warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the March Debenture Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchaser that requires the Company to (i) file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debenture and the exercise of the warrants within 30 days of receipt of a request for filing from the Purchaser, (ii) achieve effectiveness within 120 days of receipt of a request for filing from the Purchaser, and (iii) maintain effectiveness of the registration statement. Failure to meet these requirements will require the Company to incur liquidated damages amounting to 2% of the principal per month, but in no event shall consideration paid as liquidated damages exceed $1,790,000.

The Debentures are secured according to the terms of a pledge and security agreement dated August 24, 2006 and entered into in connection with a previous $5 million secured convertible debenture with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide to Purchaser a security interest in its assets to secure the Company's obligations under the financing transaction. The Debentures are additionally secured by a patent security agreement entered into on March 27, 2007.

At any time from the closing date until March 27, 2009, the Purchaser has the right to convert the convertible debenture into common stock of the Company at the then effective conversion price, which varies relative to the Company’s trading stock price, as follows: $0.05 per share, or 90% of the lowest closing bid price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The conversion is limited such that the holder cannot exceed 4.99% ownership.

The convertible debenture, at the option of the holder, affords the Purchaser anti-dilution protection should, at any time while the convertible debenture is outstanding, the Company offer, sell or grant any option to purchase or offer, sell or grant any right to re-price its securities, or otherwise dispose of or issue any common stock or common stock equivalents, entitle any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than the then effective conversion price (excluding employee stock options), as calculated by the formula described above; then, in such instance, the conversion price for the convertible debenture shall be reduced to the lower price.
 
Under the terms of the agreement, the Purchaser also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 125,000,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.04 per share, subject to adjustment, included under anti-dilution protection similar to that described above. The warrants have a five-year contractual life. The warrants do not contain a forced exercise attribute similar to previously issued warrants. It is important to note that the warrants contain a provision that, if at the time of exercise, NeoMedia is in default of the warrant agreement, the holder can perform a “cashless” exercise of the warrants and in lieu of making payment of the exercise price in cash, elect instead to withhold shares as consideration for the exercise price. In the event of such a “cashless” exercise, NeoMedia would not receive any cash proceeds upon the exercise of such warrants. NeoMedia is currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on March 27, 2007, due to a pre-existing default on its previous financing arrangements with the Buyer. Such a default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement constitutes an event of default under the warrant agreements issued in connection with the secured convertible debenture. As a result, Cornell Capital Partners currently has the right to exercise on a cashless basis the 125,000,000 of warrants they hold that were issued in connection with the secured convertible debenture.
 
34

 
The convertible debenture contains consequences in case of default. Events of default which could subject us to penalties, liabilities, and foreclosure upon our assets as specified in the Agreement include:
 
 
·
Any case or action of bankruptcy or insolvency commenced by us or any subsidiary, against us or adjudicated by a court against us for the benefit of creditors;
 
 
·
Any default in its obligations under a mortgage or debt in excess of $100,000;
 
 
·
Any cessation in the eligibility of our stock to be quoted on a trading market;
 
 
·
Failure to timely file the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, or failure to make the registration statement effective timely;
 
 
·
Any lapse in the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares related to the conversion option, the warrants as described and transacted in the securities purchase agreement and accompanying documents;
 
 
·
Any failure to deliver certificates within the specified time; and
 
 
·
Any failure by us to pay in full the amount of cash due pursuant to a buy-in or failure to pay any amounts owed on account on account of an event of default within 3 days of the date due.
 
Other provisions included in the Agreement include the following:
 
 
·
The convertible debenture is convertible into common stock, at the option of the Purchaser, at any time after the effective date;
 
 
·
As promptly as practicable after any conversion date, and subject to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration we shall cause its transfer agent to deliver a certificate representing the converted shares, free of any legends and trading restrictions for the number of shares converted;
 
 
·
We will reserve and keep available authorized and unissued registered shares available to be issued upon conversion;
 
 
·
Purchaser will not be responsible for any transfer taxes relative to issuance of shares;
 
 
·
If we offer, sell or grant stock at an effective per share price less than the then Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the effective conversion, exchange or purchase price for such common stock or common stock equivalents;
 
 
·
Pursuant to the terms of the convertible debenture agreement between us and Cornell signed in connection with the convertible debenture sale, without Cornell’s consent we cannot
 
 
·
issue or sell any shares of common stock or preferred stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance,
 
 
·
issue or sell any preferred stock, warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire common stock for consideration per share less than the closing bid price immediately prior to its issuance,
 
35

 
 
·
enter into any security instrument granting the holder a security interest in any of its assets of, or
 
 
·
file any registration statements on Form S-8.
 
 
·
In addition, pursuant to a security agreement between us and the Purchaser signed in connection with the convertible debenture, the Purchaser has a security interest in all of NeoMedia’s assets.
 
We are currently in default of the Investor Registration Rights Agreement entered into on March 27, 2007, in connection with the secured convertible debenture, because the registration statement to register the shares underlying the secured convertible debenture issued on August 24, 2006 was not declared effective by the specified date. Due to the current default status, the Purchaser has certain material additional rights in this financing arrangement that did not previously exist. Specifically,
 
 
·
The full fair value of the secured convertible debenture is now callable in the amount of $7,459,000;
 
 
·
The warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis as described above; and
 
 
·
We are responsible for liquidated damages of 2% of the principal per month up to a maximum of $1,790,000.

Standby Equity Distribution Agreements

On February 11, 2003, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into an Equity Line of Credit Agreement under which Cornell Capital Partners agreed to purchase up to $10 million of NeoMedia’s common stock over a two-year period, with the timing and amount of the purchase at the Company’s discretion. The maximum amount of each purchase was $150,000 with a minimum of seven days between purchases. The shares were valued at 98% of the lowest closing bid price during the five-day period following the delivery of a notice of purchase by NeoMedia. The Company paid 5% of the gross proceeds of each purchase to Cornell Capital Partners.

On October 27, 2003, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into a $20 million Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2003 SEDA”). The agreement provides for a maximum “draw” of $280,000 per week, not to exceed $840,000 in any 30-day period, and Cornell Capital Partners will purchase up to $20 million of our common stock over a two-year period. The SEDA became effective during January 2004, and expired after a two-year term in January 2006. The following table summarizes shares issued to, and funding received from, Cornell Capital Partners during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003:

On March 30, 2005, NeoMedia and Cornell Capital Partners entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2005 SEDA”) under which Cornell Capital Partners agreed to purchase up to $100 million of NeoMedia common stock over a two-year period, with the timing and amount of the purchase at NeoMedia’s discretion. The maximum amount of each purchase would be $2,000,000 with a minimum of five business days between advances. The shares would be valued at 98% of the lowest closing bid price during the five-day period following the delivery of a notice of purchase by NeoMedia, and NeoMedia would pay 5% of the gross proceeds of each purchase to Cornell Capital Partners. Based on NeoMedia’s current market capitalization and other outstanding securities, NeoMedia does not believe that the 2005 SEDA is currently a viable source of financing.

As a commitment fee for Cornell Capital Partners to enter into the 2005 SEDA, NeoMedia issued 50 million warrants to Cornell Capital Partners with an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a term of three (3) years, and also paid a cash commitment fee of $1 million. During 2006, Cornell Capital Partners exercised 40,000,000 of the warrants, generating cash proceeds of $8,000,000 to NeoMedia. During December 2006, in connection with a convertible debenture, NeoMedia repriced the remaining 10,000,000 warrants to an exercise price of $0.04 per share. NeoMedia also issued 4 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.227 to a consultant as a fee in connection with the 2005 SEDA, which have not been exercised. NeoMedia recorded the $13,256,000 fair value of the warrants to “Deferred equity financing costs” at inception. This amount was written off during the year ended December 31, 2006, because the Company believes that it can no longer consider the 2005 SEDA a viable financing source due to the utilization of the preferred stock financing and the debenture financing.

On August 1, 2003, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $200,000 before discounts and fees. The note was repaid in full during 2003.

On September 2, 2003, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $200,000 before discounts and fees. The note was repaid in full during 2003.

On September 11, 2003, we received funding in the form of a promissory note from Cornell Capital Partners in the gross amount of $500,000 before discounts and fees. The note was repaid in full during 2003.

On January 20, 2004, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $4,000,000 before discounts and fees. Of the $4,000,000 funding, $2,500,000 was used to fund the acquisition of CSI International, Inc. during February 2004. Cornell Capital Partners withheld a $315,000 retention fee related to the issuance of stock to pay off the debt in the future. We paid this note in full during 2004.

We also granted to Cornell Capital Partners 40,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of our stock with an exercise price of $0.05 per share during January 2004. In April 2004, we filed a Form SB-2 to register 40 million shares underlying warrants granted to Cornell Capital Partners (and subsequently transferred by Cornell Capital Partners to Stone Street Asset Management LLC) in connection with a promissory note issued by the Company to Cornell Capital Partners. In May 2004, the Form SB-2 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $5,000,000. In accordance with APB 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, we have compared the relative fair values of the warrants and the face value of the notes, and has allocated a value of $2.5 million to the warrants. Of the $2.5 million, $2 million was allocated to the $4 million note issued in January 2004 and $0.5 million against the $1 million note in April 2004. The $2.5 million was recorded as a discount against the carrying value of the note. The $2.5 million that was allocated to the notes is considered a discount on the promissory notes, and therefore was amortized over the life of the notes using the effective interest method, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 77, Topic 2.A.6, “Debt Issue Costs” of SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, we recorded an amortization of discount of $2,500,000 related to the warrants during the year ended December31, 2004. Stone Street Asset Management LLC exercised the warrants during November 2004, resulting in net funds to us of $2 million.

On April 8, 2004, we borrowed from Cornell Capital Partners the gross amount of $1,000,000 before discounts and fees. Cornell Capital Partners withheld a $76,000 retention fee related to the issuance of stock to pay off the debt in the future. We paid this note in full during 2004.

Cornell Capital Partners withheld structuring and escrow fees of $68,000 related to the note. The note accrued interest at 8% per annum on any unpaid principal and was secured by all of our assets other than patents and patent application. We paid this note in full during the first quarter of 2006.

Thornhill Capital, LLP

On September 3, 2003, we issued 10 million warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 to Thornhill Capital LLP as a fee for negotiating and structuring the 2003 SEDA, of which 1 million were exercised in 2004 and 9 million during 2006. As of January 9, 2007, Thornhill Capital held 800,000 shares resulting from this warrant exercise.

On January 29, 2004, we entered into a consulting agreement with Thornhill Capital LLP that pays Thornhill Capital LLP $15,000 per month for assistance in connection with potential acquisitions transactions, and corporate strategy planning. The contract has a term of two years and automatically renews for successive one-year periods if not cancelled by either party. On July 22, 2005, the agreement was amended to pay Thornhill $19,500 per month and the term was extended until July 22, 2007.

On February 22, 2007, the shares issued in connection with the acquisition of 12Snap became eligible for resale under Rule 144.

During the three months ended March 31, 2007, NeoMedia issued 197,620,948 shares of its common stock in satisfaction of a portion of the purchase price obligation totaling $9,427,000. During April 2007, an additional $1,760,000 of the obligation was retired in connection with the sale of 12Snap. In addition, we have made cash payments against the liability totaling $372,000 plus accrued interest of $8,000. The balance on the purchase price obligation as of June 30, 2007 was $4,684,000.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected directly to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the OTC Bulletin Board or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the OTC Bulletin Board or in any other market on which the price of our shares of common stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of common stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
 
Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $50,000. The offering expenses consist of: printing and engraving expenses of $5,000, accounting fees of $20,000, legal fees of $20,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $5,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however, receive the exercise price upon exercise of warrants for which the underlying shares are being registered hereunder. If all warrants being registered hereunder were exercised, we would receive proceeds of $5,990,700 (net of registration fees). However, the exercise price of a significant number of the warrants is higher than the current stock price. If only in-the-money warrants were exercised, we would receive proceeds of $25,000, which are less than the registration fees.
 
The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the SEC.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description of our capital stock and certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws is a summary. For additional information, please refer to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws.
 
Common Stock
 
On June 28, 2006, our shareholders voted to increase our number of shares of authorized common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from 1,000,000,000 to 5,000,000,000. As of August 10, 2007, 900,699,016 common shares were outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than one half of our outstanding shares of common stock, subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, can elect all of our directors, if they choose to do so. In this event, the holders of the remaining shares of common stock would not be able to elect any directors. Subject to the prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably, dividends when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. The outstanding common stock is duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. In the event we were to elect to sell additional shares of common stock following this offering, investors in this offering would have no right to purchase additional shares. As a result, their percentage equity interest in us would be diluted.
 
Except as otherwise permitted by Delaware law, and subject to the rights of the holders of preferred stock, all stockholder action is taken by the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted as a single class present at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum consisting of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is present in person or proxy.
 
Preferred Stock 
 
NeoMedia is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company may issue preferred stock in one or more series and having the rights, privileges, and limitations, including voting rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rights and preferences and redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by the Board of Directors. Preferred stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings, or other matters, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. In the event that the Company determines to issue any shares of preferred stock, a certificate of designation containing the rights, privileges, and limitations of this series of preferred stock shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The effect of this preferred stock designation power is that the Board of Directors alone, subject to Federal securities laws, applicable blue sky laws, and Delaware law, may be able to authorize the issuance of preferred stock which could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of NeoMedia without further action by its stockholders, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Company’s common stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

During December 1999, the Board of Directors approved a Certificate of Resolutions Designating Rights and Preferences of Preferred Stock, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 20, 1999.

The right to receive mandatory cash dividends equal to the greater of $0.001 per share or 100 times the amount of all dividends (cash or non-cash, other than dividends of shares of common stock) paid to holders of the common stock, which dividend is payable 30 days after the conclusion of each calendar quarter and immediately following the declaration of a dividend on common stock;

The right to receive an amount, in preference to the holders of common stock, equal to the amount per share payable to holders of common stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, and following payment of 1/100th of this liquidation preference to the holders of each share of common stock, an additional amount per share equal to 100 times the per share amount paid to the holders of common stock.

Since inception of the 2003 Stock Option Plan through August 10, 2007, approximately 28,000,000 options have been exercised, 48,000,000 have been forfeited and placed back into the pool of options available for grant, and 109,000,000 remained outstanding as of August 10, 2007.

Anti-Takeover Effects Of Provisions Of The Certificate Of Incorporation
 
On December 10, 1999, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a non-taxable dividend of one right on each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record on December 10, 1999 and each share of common stock issued prior to the rights plan trigger date. The stockholder rights plan was adopted as an anti-takeover measure, commonly referred to as a “poison pill.” The stockholder rights plan was designed to enable all stockholders to receive fair and equal treatment in any proposed takeover of the corporation and to guard against partial or two-tiered tender offers, open market accumulations and other hostile takeover tactics to gain control of NeoMedia. The stockholders rights plan, which is similar to plans adopted by many leading public companies, was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire control of NeoMedia at the time of adoption. Certain of the Company’s directors, officers and principal stockholders, Charles W. Fritz, William E. Fritz and The Fritz Family Limited Partnership and their holdings were exempted from the triggering provisions of the Company’s “poison pill” plan, as a result of the fact that, as of the plans adoption, their holdings might have otherwise triggered the “poison pill”.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the number of shares of our common stock to be issued as consideration was calculated using a share price of $0.3956, which was the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the ten days up to and including February 9, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the sale and purchase agreement, in the event that our stock price at the time the consideration shares became saleable (either upon effectiveness of a registration statement containing the shares, or under Rule 144) was less than $0.3956, we were obligated to compensate 12Snap shareholders in cash for the difference between the price at the time the shares become saleable and $0.3956.

On February 1, 2007, we instituted a stock option repricing plan as a retention tool to align our employees with the new vision of NeoMedia. Under the Plan, we repriced 50,148,750 stock options held by current employees, contractors, and directors.

On February 23, 2006, NeoMedia and Gavitec completed the closing requirements and the acquisition became effective.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), we have included in our Certificate of Incorporation a provision to eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach or alleged breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to NeoMedia or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the rights of NeoMedia and our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of NeoMedia) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of NeoMedia or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s duty of care. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.
 
The Certificate of Incorporation and the bylaws of NeoMedia provide that it is required and permitted to indemnify our officers and directors, employees and agents under certain circumstances. In addition, if permitted by law, we are required to advance expenses to our officers and directors as incurred in connection with proceedings against them in their capacity as a director or officer for which they may be indemnified upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. At present, we are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or agent of NeoMedia in which indemnification would be required or permitted.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of NeoMedia pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS 
 
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
 
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement.
 
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(i) each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of a registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness and the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
II-10

 
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
 
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
 
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
 
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provision described under Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise (other than insurance), the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it or them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
