Background and Organization Neonode Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1997 as the parent of Neonode AB, a company founded in February 2004 and incorporated in Sweden. On December 29, 2008, we entered into a share exchange agreement with AB Cypressen nr 9683 (renamed Neonode Technologies AB), a Swedish engineering company, and Neonode Technologies AB became our wholly owned subsidiary. In 2013, we established additional wholly owned subsidiaries: Neonode Japan Inc. (Japan); Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden); NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.); and Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.). In 2014, we established one additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). In 2015, we established one additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Taiwan Ltd. (Taiwan). In 2015 we established Pronode Technologies AB, a majority-owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. Operations Neonode Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries, is referred to as “Neonode”, develops and licenses user interfaces and optical touch technology to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) who embed the Neonode technology into devices that they produce and sell. Reclassifications Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 is now reported under its own caption, separate from other expense, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, in order to conform to the current period presentation. Liquidity We incurred net losses of approximately $7.8 million, $14.2 million and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $173.7 million as of December 31, 2015. In addition, we used cash in operating activities of approximately $8.1 million, $11.8 million and $8.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In June 2014, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective on June 12, 2014. We may from time to time issue shares of our common stock under our shelf registration in amounts, at prices, and on terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described in a prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement will expire on June 12, 2017. On October 13, 2015, we issued 3,200,000 shares of our common stock from our shelf registration statement to investors in connection with an equity financing transaction. We sold the stock at $1.90 per share and raised approximately $6.1 million gross and received approximately $5.4 million in cash, net of direct offering costs including underwriting discounts and legal, audit and other regulatory costs of approximately $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2015, there were 1,800,000 shares remaining for issuance under our existing shelf registration statement. We believe that, based upon our current operating plan, our existing cash and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. We expect that our revenues from license fees and non-recurring engineering fees will enable us to reduce, or eliminate, our operating losses in 2016. We also have undertaken steps to reduce operating expenses, including (i) termination of consulting contracts associated with our research and development operations, and (ii) improving overall cost efficiency of our operations. Depending on our cash flow, we intend to continue to implement various measures to improve our financial condition, such as reducing further expenses to conserve cash and pursuing strategic transactions and relationships with third parties. While there is no assurance that the Company can meet its projected cash flows, management anticipates that it can continue operations for at least the next twelve months. In the future, we may require sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. If our operations do not become cash flow positive, we may be forced to seek credit line facilities from financial institutions, equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if funds are available, the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and cause the market price to fall, and the issuance of debt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions.
