NEONODE INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
1. Interim Period Reporting

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full 2014 fiscal year.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by us, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally contained in financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Operations

Neonode Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”), develops and licenses touch user interfaces and optical multi-touch solutions to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) who embed Neonode technology into devices that they produce and sell.

Reclassifications

Projects in process as of December 31, 2013 are now reported under their own caption, separate from prepaid expenses and other current assets, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and as a separate component of cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013, in order to conform to the current period presentation.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2014 (unaudited) and December 31, 2013 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013  include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Neonode Technologies AB (“NTAB”), Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.) (“NAI”), Neonode KK (Japan) (“NJK”), NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.) (“NTI”) and Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden) (“NUIAB”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and assumptions that affect, at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, collectibility of accounts receivable, recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived assets, the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets and the fair value of options and warrants issued for stock-based compensation.

Concentration of Cash Balance Risks
 
Cash balances are maintained at various banks in the U.S., Japan and Sweden. At times, deposits held with financial institutions in the U.S. may exceed the amount of insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner. The Swedish government provides insurance coverage up to 100,000 euro per customer and covers deposits in all types of accounts. The Japanese government provides insurance coverage up to 10,000,000 Yen per customer. As of March 31, 2014, we had approximately $5.8 million in excess of insurance limits.
 
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

Our accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. Where appropriate, we obtain credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining or modifying its credit limits. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, we initiate dialogue with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting its business, we record a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount we expect to recover. Should all efforts fail to recover the related receivable, we will write-off the account. We also record an allowance based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers.  We determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Projects in Process

Projects in process consist of costs incurred toward the completion of various projects for certain customers. These costs are primarily comprised of direct engineering labor costs and project-specific equipment costs. These costs are capitalized on our balance sheet as an asset and deferred until revenue for each project is recognized in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Estimated useful lives

Computer equipment
3 years
Furniture and  fixtures
5 years

Equipment purchased under capital leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
 
Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Long-lived Assets

We assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with relevant accounting guidance. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flow related to these assets decreases or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of these assets.  As of March 31, 2014, we believe there is no impairment of our long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or sufficient demand for our products and services will materialize, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona and Japanese Yen. The translation from Swedish Krona and Japanese Yen to U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the period. Foreign currency translation gains were $35,000 and $13,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and were $26,000 and $(37,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Licensing Revenues:

We derive revenue from the licensing of internally developed intellectual property (“IP”). We enter into IP licensing agreements that generally provide licensees the right to incorporate our IP components in their products with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. The IP licensing agreements generally include a nonexclusive license for the underlying IP. Fees under these agreements may include license fees relating to our IP and royalties payable following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating the licensed technology. The license for our IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support. We follow U.S. GAAP for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed or licensed by our customers.  For technology license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying technology, we recognize technology license revenue when: (1) we enter into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of technology; (2) the customer distributes or licenses the products; (3) the customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Our customers report to us the quantities of products distributed or licensed by them after the end of the reporting period stipulated in the contract, generally 30 to 45 days after the end of the month or quarter.  Effective October 16, 2013, we determined it was appropriate to recognize licensing revenue in the period in which royalty reports are received from customers. Prior to October 16, 2013, we recognized licensing revenue in the period in which the products were distributed by our customers.  The effect of this change is $0.7 million of license revenues related to products shipped or distributed by our customers in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Explicit return rights are not offered to customers. There have been no returns through March 31, 2014.

Engineering Services:
 
We may sell engineering consulting services to our customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. We recognize revenue from these services when all of the following conditions are met: (1) evidence existed of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our services were performed and risk of loss passed to the customer; (3) we completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue to which we were entitled was fixed or determinable; and (5) we believed it was probable that we would be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue.  Generally, we recognize revenue as the engineering services stipulated under the contract are completed and accepted by our customers.  Engineering services performed under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”) with a customer are accounted for under the completed contract method, as these SOW’s are short-term in nature and our total contract costs are difficult to estimate. Estimated losses on SOW projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident.

Deferred Revenue

From time-to-time we receive pre-payments from our customers related to future services or future license fee revenues. We defer the license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed or licensed by our customers and the engineering development fee revenue until such time as the engineering work has been completed and accepted by our customers.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $106,000 and $124,000, respectively.

Product Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the fair value of the award on the grant date, and recognize the value as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.
 
 We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their fair value. The measurement date for the fair value for the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached, or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instruments is primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. The fair value of the stock-based compensation is periodically re-measured and expense is recognized during the vesting term.

When determining stock-based compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. We estimate income taxes based on rates in effect in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred tax assets when, in our opinion, realization is uncertain based on the “more likely than not” criteria of the accounting guidance.

Based on the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. The provision for income taxes represents the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus income taxes paid or payable for the current period.

We follow U.S. GAAP related to uncertain tax positions, which provisions include a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.  As a result, we did not recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no unrecognized tax benefits.
 
Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 exclude the potential common stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive (See Note 8).

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Our comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation gains and losses.  The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income.

Cash Flow Information

Cash flows in foreign currencies have been converted to U.S. dollars at an approximate weighted-average exchange rate for the respective reporting periods. The weighted-average exchange rate for the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss was 6.46 and 6.43 Swedish Krona to one U.S. Dollar for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The exchange rate for the consolidated balance sheets was 6.5 and 6.48 Swedish Krona to one U.S. Dollar as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The weighted-average exchange rate for the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss was 102.82 and 92.19 Japanese Yen to one U.S. Dollar for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The exchange rate for the consolidated balance sheet was 102.80 and 94.16 Japanese Yen to one U.S. Dollar as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” ASU 2013-11 provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with an option for early adoption. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2014, and did not determine there is any impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. Deferred Revenue

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of deferred license fee revenue related to prepayments for future license fees from three customers and a total of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of deferred engineering development fees from twenty-three and twenty-one customers, respectively. We defer the license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed or licensed by our customers and the engineering development fee revenue until such time as the engineering work has been completed and accepted by our customers.

4.  Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, warrant holder’s exercised warrants to purchase 17,000 shares of common stock using the cashless net exercise provision allowed in the warrant and received 10,053 shares of our common stock. In addition, warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 11,500 shares of common stock and paid a cash exercise price of $3.13 per share for total cash proceeds of approximately $36,000.

The holders of shares of Series B Preferred stock are entitled to participate with the holders of our common stock with respect to any dividends declared on the common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred stock held by them.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our operations, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of the Series B Preferred stock and Senior Preferred stock, shall be entitled to receive, after any distribution to the holders of senior preferred stock and prior to and in preference to any distribution to the holders of common stock, $0.001 for each share of Series B Preferred stock then outstanding.

Voting

The holders of shares of Series B Preferred stock have one vote for each share of Series B Preferred stock held by them.
 
Conversion

 Initially, each share of Series B Preferred stock was convertible into one share of our common stock.   On March 31, 2009, our stockholders approved a resolution to increase the authorized share capital, and to increase the conversion ratio to 132.07 shares of our common stock for each share of Series B Preferred stock.

5. Stock-Based Compensation
 
The stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflects the fair value of the vested portion of options and warrants granted to employees, directors and eligible consultants. Stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations is as follows (in thousands):

The remaining unamortized expense related to stock options and warrants will be recognized on a straight line basis monthly as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period, which approximates 2.0 years.
 
The fair value of stock-based awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though this model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from our stock options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term and forfeiture rate of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior, as well as expected behavior on outstanding options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price. These factors could change in the future, which would affect fair values of stock options granted in such future periods, and could cause volatility in the total amount of the stock-based compensation expense reported in future periods.

Stock Options

We have adopted equity incentive plans for which stock options and restricted stock awards are available to grant to employees and directors. All employee and director stock options granted under our stock option plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for any options, as vesting for all outstanding option grants is based only on continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards are classified as equity instruments.

We had two equity incentive plans as of March 31, 2014:
 
 
·
The 1998 Non-Officer Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), which expired in June 2008; and
 
·
The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, including and the Swedish Sub-Plan to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, (the “2006 Plan”).
 
We also had one non-employee director stock option plan as of March 31, 2014:
 
 
·
The 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”), which expired in March 2011.
 
A summary of the combined activity under all of the stock option plans is set forth below:

On March 11, 2013, our Board of Directors amended the 2006 Plan to increase of the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance by 2 million shares to an aggregate of 4,052,000 shares.  On May 6, 2013, our stockholders approved the amendment.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the 1,935,583 stock options that are outstanding, vested and expected to vest as of March 31, 2014 was $1.9 million.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded $1.1 million and $576,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options. The fair value of the stock-based compensation was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of grant of the stock option.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we granted options to purchase 325,000 shares of our common stock to employees and an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock to a member of our board of directors with a grant date fair value of $1.2 million computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $3.46 per share.

The 1998 Plan terminated effective June 15, 2008 and the Director Plan terminated effective March 2011. Although we can no longer issue stock options out of the plans, the outstanding options at the date of termination will remain outstanding and vest in accordance with their terms. Options granted under the Director Plan vested over a one to four-year period, expire five to seven years after the date of grant and have exercise prices reflecting market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 1998 and 2006 Plans are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, vest in various installments over a one to four-year period and have exercise prices reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant.

Warrants

The fair value of stock-based compensation related to the issuance of warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date of the underlying warrant.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnities and Guarantees

We have agreed to indemnify each of our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that should enable us to recover a portion of future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal and have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

We enter into indemnification provisions under our agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, customers and landlords. Under these provisions we generally indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of our activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party’s activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by us with regard to intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs

 Neonode and Texas Instruments Inc. (“TI”) entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement on February 4, 2011 and effective as of January 24, 2010 (the “NN1001 Agreement”) pursuant to which TI integrated Neonode’s intellectual property into an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) developed by TI.  The NN1001 ASIC only can be sold by TI exclusively to licensees of Neonode. Under the terms of the NN1001 Agreement, we will reimburse TI up to $500,000 of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) development costs based on shipments of the NN1001.  Under the terms of the NN1001 Agreement, we will reimburse TI an NRE fee of $0.08 per unit for each of the first one million units sold and $0.05 for the next eight million units sold.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, $31,000 and $217,600, respectively of NRE expense related to the NN1001 Agreement is included in research and development in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Through March 31, 2014, we had made total payments of $338,000 under the NN1001 Agreement.
 
Neonode and TI entered into an additional Analog Device Development Agreement on April 25, 2013 effective December 6, 2012 (the “NN1002 Agreement”) pursuant to which TI will integrate Neonode’s intellectual property into an ASIC developed by TI. The NN1002 ASIC only can be sold by TI exclusively to licensees of Neonode.  Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement, we will reimburse TI up to $500,000 of NRE costs based on shipments of the NN1002.  Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement we will reimburse TI an NRE fee of $0.25 per unit for each of the first two million units sold.  The NN1002 is currently in development and has not been released to mass production.  As a result, through March 31, 2014, we had made no payments under the NN1002 Agreement.

8. Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was computed by dividing the net loss for the relevant period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.
 
Potential common stock equivalents of approximately 481,000 and 309,000 outstanding stock options, 497,000 and 2.8 million outstanding stock warrants under the treasury stock method and 11,000 and 11,000 shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

9. Subsequent Events

On May 9, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share (the “Investor Shares”) and a warrant (the “Investor Warrant”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 in gross proceeds.  Under the terms of the Investor Warrant, the holder is entitled to exercise the Investor Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,964,636 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.09 per share for a period of 18 months from the issuance date.  Cash exercise of the Investor Warrant will result in the Company receiving up to $10,000,000 in gross proceeds.  Closing of the investment pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is expected to occur by May 15, 2014 and is subject to certain closing conditions described therein.
 
In connection with Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC relating to the offer and sale by the holder of the Investor Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrant (the “Investor Warrant Shares”).  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company is obligated to file the registration statement within 30 days of closing and to use best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days of closing.  Failure to meet those and related obligations, or failure to maintain the effective registration of the Investor Shares and Investor Warrant Shares will subject the Company to payment for liquidated damages.
 
In connection with the sale of the Investor Shares, the Company has agreed to pay a fee to a placement agent of $600,000, and has further agreed to pay a fee to the placement agent of up to $600,000 in connection with the exercise of the Investor Warrant.  In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the placement agent a warrant, subject to the same terms as the Investor Warrant, to acquire 117,879 shares of common stock.
 
Copies of the securities purchase agreement, the registration rights agreement, and the form of warrant are included as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, and Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 12, 2014, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Neonode Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, is referred to in this Form 10-Q as “Neonode”, “we”, “us”, “our”, the “registrant”, or the “Company”) develops and licenses user interfaces and optical infrared touch technology.  Our patented technology offers multiple features including the ability to sense an object’s size, depth, velocity, pressure, and proximity to any type of surface. We license our multi-touch technology to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) who incorporate it into devices that they produce and sell.  OEMs and ODMs use our touch technology in controller chips we developed in collaboration with Texas Instruments designed specifically for our touch technology.  Our technology licensing model allows us to focus on the development of solutions for touchscreens and touch-enabled surfaces.  We do not manufacture products or components.

As of March 31, 2014, we had thirty-six technology license agreements with global OEMs and ODMs. Twelve of our customers are currently shipping products and we anticipate other customers will initiate product shipments as they complete their final product development and release cycle throughout 2014 and 2015.  In addition, we are currently developing prototype products and are engaged in product engineering design discussions with numerous global OEMs and ODMs who are in the process of qualifying our touch technology for incorporation in various products such as laptop computers, all-in-one computers and stand-alone monitors running Microsoft Windows 8 and Google Chrome operating systems, printer products, GPS devices, e-Readers, tablets, touch panels for automobiles, household appliances, mobile phones, wearable electronics, games and toys. The development and release cycle for these products typically takes six to thirty-six months.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.0 million compared to $548,000 for the same period in 2013.  Our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included $896,000 from technology license fees related to product shipments by nine customers plus $118,000 in fees for engineering design services related to our touch screen solution for other customers. Our net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included $539,000 from technology license fees related to product shipments by six customers plus $9,000 in fees for engineering design services related to our touch screen solution for other customers.
 
Prior to October 16, 2013, we recognized licensing revenue in the period in which the products were distributed by our customers.  The effect of this change is $0.7 million of license revenues related to products shipped or distributed by our customers in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Of this amount, 37% is related to one customer who began shipping products in the third quarter of 2013.
 
 
Gross Margin

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $848,000 compared to $532,000 for the same period in 2013. Our cost of revenues includes the direct cost of production of certain customer prototypes, costs of engineering employees and consultants to complete the engineering design contract. The gross margin related to our license fees is 100% and when license fees as a percentage of our total revenue increase our gross margin will increase.

Product Research and Development

 Product research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $1.8 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2013.  R&D costs mainly consist of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements along with costs related to developing and building new product prototypes. We continue to pursue and expand R&D expenditures on the development of our touch technologies. As of March 31, 2014, our R&D department has thirty-six full time employees compared to twenty-nine for the same period 2013. Included in R&D expenses are approximately $268,000 of non-cash stock option and warrant expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately $60,000 for the same period in 2013.

Sales and Marketing

  Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $1.0 million compared to $805,000 for the same period in 2013. This increase in 2014 as compared to 2013 is primarily related to an increase in overall marketing and trade show expense and travel.  Included in S&M expenses are approximately $175,000 of non-cash stock option and warrant expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to approximately $196,000 for the same period in 2013. Our sales activities focus primarily on OEM customers who will integrate our touch technology into their products. Our OEM customers will then sell and market their products incorporating our technology to their customers.

General and Administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $2.0 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2013. This increase in 2014 as compared to 2013 is primarily related to an increase in stock option expense. There was an increase in non-cash stock option expense in 2014 related to stock options issued to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2014.  Included in G&A expenses are approximately $629,000 of non-cash stock option and warrant expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $330,000 for the same period in 2013.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 0% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  We recorded valuation allowances for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 for deferred tax assets related to net operating losses due to the uncertainty of realization. In the event of future taxable income, our effective income tax rate in future periods could be lower than the statutory rate as such tax assets are realized.

Net Loss

As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss of $4.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the same period in 2013.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources other than operating leases. We have no special purpose or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support.  We do not engage in leasing, hedging, research and development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
 
Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs

Neonode and Texas Instruments Inc. (“TI”) entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement on February 4, 2011 and effective as of January 24, 2010 (the “NN1001 Agreement”) pursuant to which TI integrated Neonode’s intellectual property into an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) developed by TI.  The NN1001 ASIC only can be sold by TI exclusively to licensees of Neonode. Under the terms of the NN1001 Agreement, we will reimburse TI up to $500,000 of non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) development costs based on shipments of the NN1001.  Under the terms of the NN1001 Agreement, we will reimburse TI an NRE fee of $0.08 per unit for each of the first one million units sold and $0.05 for the next eight million units sold.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, $31,000 and $217,600, respectively of NRE expense related to the NN1001 Agreement is included in research and development in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Through March 31, 2014, we had made total payments of $338,000 under the NN1001 Agreement.

Neonode and TI entered into an additional Analog Device Development Agreement on April 25, 2013 effective December 6, 2012 (the “NN1002 Agreement”) pursuant to which TI will integrate Neonode’s intellectual property into an ASIC developed by TI. The NN1002 ASIC only can be sold by TI exclusively to licensees of Neonode.  Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement, we will reimburse TI up to $500,000 of NRE costs based on shipments of the NN1002.  Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement we will reimburse TI an NRE fee of $0.25 per unit for each of the first two million units sold.  The NN1002 is currently in development and has not been released to mass production.  As a result, through March 31, 2014, we had made no payments under the NN1002 Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity is dependent on many factors, including sales volume, operating profit and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity will be affected by, among other things:
 
 
·
our actual versus anticipated licensing of our technology;
 
·
our actual versus anticipated operating expenses;
 
·
the timing of our OEM customer product shipments;
 
·
the timing of payment for our technology licensing agreements;
 
·
our actual versus anticipated gross profit margin;
 
·
our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary; and
 
·
our ability to secure credit facilities, if necessary.
 
As of March 31, 2014, we had cash of $6.2 million, as compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2013.

Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $3.1 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to working capital of $6.0 million at December 31, 2013.
 
Net cash used in operating activities of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of (i) a net loss of approximately $4.0 million and (ii) approximately $0.3 million in net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable. Cash used to fund net losses is reduced by approximately $1.1 million in non-cash operating expenses, comprised of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation.

Accounts receivable decreased approximately $314,000 as of March 31, 2014 compared with December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of success in collecting cash from net revenues to our customers in accordance with our standard payment terms. 
 
Deferred revenue increased approximately $48,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of additional license technology agreements and engineering projects entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Net cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily the result of (i) a net loss of approximately $3.6 million and (ii) approximately $1.3 million in net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable. Cash used to fund net losses is reduced by approximately $0.6 million in non-cash operating expenses, comprised of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation.
 
Accounts receivable decreased approximately $1.3 million as of March 31, 2013 compared with December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of a decrease in net revenues from approximately $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to approximately $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we were successful in collecting cash from net revenues to our customers in accordance with our standard payment terms. 

 Deferred revenue increased approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared with December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of additional license technology agreements and engineering projects entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2014, we purchased $46,000 of property and equipment, primarily computers and test equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was the result of net proceeds of $36,000 received in connection with the exercise of warrants to purchase 11,500 shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

We believe we have sufficient cash to operate for 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, additional private equity investment or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if funds are available, the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity could dilute the value of shares of our common stock and cause the market price to fall, and the issuance of debt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions.

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries in Sweden is the Swedish Krona and in Japan is the Japanese Yen. They are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any increase or decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Swedish Krona or Japanese Yen will impact Neonode’s future operating results.
 
May 2014 Purchase Agreement

On May 9, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor pursuant to which we agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share (the “Investor Shares”) and a warrant (the “Investor Warrant”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 in gross proceeds.  Under the terms of the Investor Warrant, the holder is entitled to exercise the Investor Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,964,636 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.09 per share for a period of 18 months from the issuance date.  Cash exercise of the Investor Warrant will result in us receiving up to $10,000,000 in gross proceeds.  Closing of the investment pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is expected to occur by May 15, 2014 and is subject to certain closing conditions described therein.
 
In connection with Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC relating to the offer and sale by the holder of the Investor Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrant (the “Investor Warrant Shares”).  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we are obligated to file the registration statement within 30 days of closing and to use best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days of closing.  Failure to meet those and related obligations, or failure to maintain the effective registration of the Investor Shares and Investor Warrant Shares will subject us to payment for liquidated damages.
 
In connection with the sale of the Investor Shares, we have agreed to pay a fee to a placement agent of $600,000, and have further agreed to pay a fee to the placement agent of up to $600,000 in connection with the exercise of the Investor Warrant.  In addition, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent a warrant, subject to the same terms as the Investor Warrant, to acquire 117,879 shares of common stock.
 
Copies of the securities purchase agreement, the registration rights agreement, and the form of warrant are included as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, and Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 12, 2014, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summaries of each of the three transaction documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to such documents. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Item 3.               Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona or the Japanese Yen, and is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk.  Any increase or decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Swedish Krona or Japanese Yen will impact our future operating results. The majority of our consolidated net revenues 84% are denominated in U.S. dollars and approximately 54% of our consolidated costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not believe changes in foreign currency exchange rates will be material to our financial position or results of operations. We do not currently enter into forward-exchange contracts to hedge exposure denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In the future, if our operations change and we determine that our foreign exchange exposure has increased, we may consider entering into hedging transactions to mitigate such risk.
