PART I Overview Our business focus is a combination of licensing our touchscreen technology to other companies and developing and selling our own products using our technology in mobile device markets. The cornerstone of our business is our innovative patent pending touchscreen solutions. We believe that in the future keyboards and keypads with moving parts will become obsolete and that our touchscreen solutions and technologies will be at the forefront of a new wave of input technologies that will be able to run everything from small mobile devices to large industrial applications. We believe our current product, the Neonode N2, is the world’s smallest touchscreen mobile phone handset. The N2 fits in the palm of your hand and is designed to allow the user to navigate the menus and functions with simple finger based taps and sweeps. The N2 incorporates our patent pending touchscreen and other proprietary technologies to deliver a mobile phone with a completely unique user experience that doesn’t require keypads, buttons or other moving parts. The first model of our touchscreen multimedia mobile phone, the N1, was released in November 2004. The N1 was primarily a concept phone that was sold in limited quantities from late 2004 to early 2006. The N2 is our first production-quality product. We began shipping the N2 to customers in mid-July 2007 and have shipped approximately 31,000 units from July 2007 through December 31, 2007. We believe, the N2 is the smallest touchscreen multimedia mobile phone in the world that works on any GSM based mobile phone network. The N2 features include : • A touchscreen mobile multimedia phone that is also an MP3 and video player; • Innovative design, including the N2’s small size, a variety of available colors, and an attractive look and feel; • Fast, flexible and easy software downloads through the internet and SD cards; and • Large storage capacity for media content, with up to 32 Gigabytes available storage. According to the Gardner Group there were approximately 1.2 billion cell phones sold globally in 2007 and the growth of cell phone market is expected be more than 10% in both 2008 and 2009. Some of the key growth categories are smart phones and multimedia devices which is where the Neonode N2 competes. Both these categories are expected to grow dramatically in the coming years. We believe the Neonode N2 and our ongoing product developments will benefit from key market developments and trends, including: • Production capacity and scalability; ITEM 1. BUSINESS 2 • Increased availability of off the shelf technology; • Increased focus on enhancing the user experience, demonstrated by the popularity of designer phones such as the iPhone • Convergence of multiple applications in a single device, including games, videos, music and cameras. • Increased popularity of Touchscreen based devices such as the iPhone and HTC Touch. History Neonode, formerly known as SBE, Inc., was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 4, 1997. On January 11, 2007, SBE, Inc. entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets with One Stop Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of industrial-grade computing systems and components (One Stop), pursuant to which it sold all of the assets associated with its embedded hardware business (excluding cash, accounts receivable and other excluded assets specified in the asset purchase agreement) to One Stop for approximately $2,200,000 in cash plus One Stop’s assumption of the lease of SBE, Inc.’s corporate headquarters building and certain equipment leases. On August 10, 2007, Cold Winter Acquisition Corporation (Cold Winter Acquisition Sub), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of SBE, Inc., consummated a merger and reorganization where Cold Winter Acquisition Sub was merged with and into Neonode Inc. a Delaware Corporation (Old Neonode) with Old Neonode continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBE, Inc. (Merger). SBE, Inc.’s name was subsequently changed to “Neonode Inc.” in connection with the completion of the Merger. Old Neonode was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2006 and is the parent of Neonode AB, a company founded in February 2004 and incorporated in Sweden. After the Merger with Cold Winter Acquisition Sub, Old Neonode changed its name to Cold Winter, Inc. (Cold Winter). The stockholders of SBE, Inc. approved the transaction in a special meeting of stockholders held on August 10, 2007. Following the closing of the Merger, the business and operations of Cold Winter prior to the Merger became the primary business and operations of the newly-combined company. The newly-combined company’s headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “Neonode” refer to Private Neonode prior to the Merger, and Neonode Inc. (formally known as SBE, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after the Merger. The Neonode Principle Our product design goal is to deliver a user experience that is faster, easier, more enjoyable than comparable products. To achieve that goal, we focus on enhancing the user experience between the user and device in four key areas: • Durable, precise and fast touchscreen technology; • Fast, fun and easy user interface; • Innovative design and ergonomics • Variety of useful accessories and ease of usability We believe that for both professionals and consumers the mobile device, particularly the mobile phone, is positioned to become the center of an evolving digital lifestyle by integrating with and enhancing the utility of advanced digital devices such as phone, voice and text mail, digital music, digital video and still cameras, television, personal digital assistants, web browsing and other digital devices, into a single mobile handheld computing and communication device. The attributes of the mobile device that enable this functionality include a high-quality user interface, easy access to relatively inexpensive data storage, the ability to run complex applications, and the ability to connect easily to a wide variety of other digital devices and to the Internet. We provide the functionality and ease of integration with a personal computer (PC) or other media devices along with a uniquely differentiated touchscreen user interface that positions us to offer innovative integrated digital lifestyle solutions. Strategy Our overall strategy is to develop innovative differentiated touchscreen hardware and software technologies. Our business model combines the licensing of our technology to other companies who develop mobile devices along with developing and selling our own Neonode branded touchscreen mobile media products. Our Neonode brand of products is currently targeting consumers in the middle to high middle segment of the mobile multimedia phone market who value style combined with innovative technology. Our mobile phone handset is not locked into any individual mobile telephone operator’s network and can be used on any Global System for Mobile (GSM) phone network in the world, thereby allowing the end users to select the network and calling plans. We may develop future mobile phone handsets that are tailored for specific mobile network operator’s needs. 3 Together with a network of third party partners such as Sykes and TRS who provide our first line product support and product delivery logistics, we are focused on building a large-scale product development and customer support infrastructure. We are building a sales channel with an initial focus on European distributors and now plan to expand our marketing distribution to Asia, Latin America and the United States. We also sell our products through our web site to areas where we do not have a distributor or reseller presence. We have an agreement with a provider of call center, customer technical support and credit card payment processing for our web sales. Neonode USA Neonode USA is our affiliated company formed in early 2008 together with Distribution Management Consolidators LLC (DMC), a sales channel development and supply chain management company. Neonode USA, exclusively markets and sells our innovative products within North America, Latin America and China ("Neonode USA Territory") and is the exclusive worldwide licensor of our intellectual property to third parties. The Neonode USA’s main office is located in New York, USA. As Neonode USA is a venture between us and another company, DMC, there is a risk that in the event that DMC was to terminate its participation in Neonode USA, or Neonode USA was to reach an impass as to as to a key strategic decision, the marketing and sales efforts in the Neonode USA Territory would materially suffer. Products We developed a series of touchscreen multimedia mobile phones that convert the functionality of a desktop computer to a mobile phone interface. We began shipping our latest mobile phone, the N2, to customers in July 2007. In addition to connecting to any GSM supported cellular telephone network in the world, our N2 multimedia mobile phone is based on an open platform Windows CE technology that provides simplicity in connecting to any personal computer for updating contact information, calendars and downloading of media files via Bluetooth or USB connections. It also allows users to watch movies or music videos in full screen, play music, take pictures with a two mega-pixel camera and play video games, all with internet pod casting capabilities. The Windows CE environment allows third party software developers and individual users to develop customized software applications and video games for use on our N2 phone. Our N2 mobile phone is based on a patent pending user interface that incorporates one-hand on screen navigation with a simple user interface that recognizes gestures rather than defined keys. As a result, our interface features a large display without physical buttons using what we believe is the smallest touchscreen handset in the mobile phone industry. Our standard N2 phone incorporates a standard one gigabyte SD memory card which is currently expandable to eight gigabytes with what we expect to be future expandability to 32 gigabytes. The SD memory card has the storage capacity for thousands of songs and pictures and several movies. Our multimedia mobile phone has battery life of approximately six hours of music and video playback time. In addition, standby time is estimated to be 200 hours with a talk-time of approximately four hours. We also license our patent pending touchscreen hardware and software designs to third party companies for incorporation into diverse products that incorporate touchscreen technology such as MP3 and video players, digital cameras, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and alarm system touch pads. In 2005, we entered into a license agreement with a major Asian mobile telephone manufacturer where we licensed our touch screen technology for use in a mobile phone to be included in their product assortment. The original license agreement was for a two-year period and was exclusive. Upon expiration of the exclusive period in July 2007, we extended the license agreement on a non-exclusive basis for an additional year. We may also provide consulting services related to the implementation of our software. The fees for these consultancy services may vary from hourly rates to monthly rates and will be based on reasonable market rates for such services. Our technology and product designs are based on our patent pending zForce ™ and Neno™ hardware and software technology. zForce™ is our optical touchscreen technology that supports one-handed navigation allowing the user to operate the functionality with finger gestures passing over the screen and Neno™ is our software based user interface. zForce™ was patented in several countries by Neonode in 2002 and has a patent pending in the US. It uses infrared light that is projected as a grid over the screen. The infrared light pulses 120 times a second so the grid is constantly being refreshed. Coordinates are being produced on the screen and are then converted into mathematical algorithms when your fingers move across the screen. This input method is unique for Neonode and is enabled by the zForce™ Technology. 4 Currently there are two core touchscreen technologies available in the market today - capacitive and resistive. Capacitive technology is the technology that the Apple iPhone uses and resistive technology is what you find on most stylus based PDAs. Resistive technology is pressure sensitive technology and requires a stylus to activate. Best used for detailed work and selection of a particular spot on a screen but not for sweeping or motion, such as zooming in and out. Capacitive technology is what is used on a laptop computer mouse pad. It is very good for sweeping gestures and motion. The screen actually reacts to the tiny electric impulses of your finger. Capacitive touchscreens work if you have unimpeded contact between your finger and the screen. Our zForce™ has a number of key advantages over each of these technologies including: zForce™ incorporates some of the best functionalities of both the capacitive and resistive touch screen technologies but at a much lower cost. It works in all climates and, unlike the competing technologies, can be used with gloves. In addition, zForce™ allows for waterproofing. Because of its uniqueness and flexibility, we believe that our zForce™ technology presents a tremendous licensing opportunity for Neonode. The market is vast given the current rapid increase in touchscreen based devices such as cell phones, PCs, media players and GPS navigation devices. Our software user interface Neno™ runs on Windows CE and is completely unique. Neno™ is designed to operate complex and full feature applications on a small screen. It allows for a number of input methods and is designed to deliver high precision, fast response and ease of use on a complex device. Neno™ includes the following features: Intellectual Property We believe that innovation in product engineering, sales, marketing, support, and customer relations, and protection of this proprietary technology and knowledge will impact our future success. In addition to certain patents that are pending, we rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, trade secret laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect the proprietary rights in our products. We have applied for patent protection of our invention named “On a substrate formed or resting display arrangement” in six countries through a patent cooperation treaty (PCT) application and in 24 designated countries through an application to the European Patent Office (EPO). We applied for a patent in Sweden relating to a mobile phone and have also applied for a patent in the United States regarding software named “User Interface.” • There are no additional layers added to the screen that dilutes the screen resolution and clarity. Layering technology is required to activate the capacitive and resistive technologies and can be very costly; • The zForce™ grid technology is more responsive than the capacitive screens and as result is quicker and less prone to misreads. It allows movement and sweeping motions as compared to the point sensitive stylus based resistive screens; • zForce™, an abbreviation for zero force necessary, means that you do not have to use any force to select or move items on the screen like you would with a stylus; • zForce™ is cost efficient due to the lower cost of materials and extremely simple manufacturing process when compared to the expensive layered capacitive and resistive screens; and • zForce™ allows multiple methods of input such as simple finger taps to hit keys, sweeps to zoom in our out and gestures to write text or symbols directly on the screen. • Media players for streaming video, movies and music that supports all the standard applications, including WMA,WMV, MP3,WAV,DivX and AVI MPEG¼; • Internet explorer 6.0 browser; • Image viewer with camera preview and capture; • Organizer with calendar and task with Microsoft Outlook synchronization; • Calendar, alarm, calculator and call list; • Telephony manager for voice calls; • Messaging manager for SMS, MMS, IM and T9; • File manager; • Task manager for switching between applications; • Notebook; and • Games. 5 We have been granted design protection in Sweden for the design of a mobile phone, and have applied for design protection in Sweden for a new a design of our mobile phone. We have been granted trademark protection for the word NEONODE in the European Union (EU), Sweden, Norway, and Australia. In addition, we have been granted protection for the figurative mark NEONODE in Sweden. Additional applications for the figurative trademark are still pending in Switzerland, China, Russia and the United States. Our “User Interface” may also be protected by copyright laws in most countries, especially Sweden and the EU (which do not grant patent protection for the software itself), if the software is new and original. Protection can be claimed from the date of creation. We also license technologies from third parties for integration into our products. We believe that the licensing of complementary technologies from third parties with specific expertise is an effective means of expanding the features and functionality of our products, allowing us to focus on our core competencies. Consistent with our efforts to maintain the confidentiality and ownership of our trade secrets and other confidential information and to protect and build our intellectual property rights, we require our employees and consultants and certain customers, manufacturers, suppliers and other persons with whom we do business or may potentially do business to execute confidentiality and invention assignment agreements upon commencement of a relationship with us and typically extending for a period of time beyond termination of the relationship. Distribution, Sales and Marketing We are building a network of distributors covering Europe, India and Asia and planning to expand our network to the remaining countries in Europe, the United States, Asia and Latin America in 2008. We currently have seven distributors selling our products in 13 European countries. Our products are customizable for each country or region using the GSM standard. Our phone supports all local languages and a number of well known carriers such as Vodafone, Tim, Telia and Telenor have included our phone in their core product assortment and are selling it with carrier subsidies where the carrier provides incentives to the customer if they sign up for calling plans. In addition to the distributor sales channel, we are using the Neonode.com web store as a direct sales channel to sell our products and third-party products in countries where we do not have a sales presence. Our internal sales and marketing organization supports our channel marketing partners by providing sales collateral, such as product data sheets, presentations, and other sales/marketing resource tools. Our sales staff solicits prospective customers, provides technical advice with respect to our products and works closely with marketing partners to train and educate their staff on how to sell, install, and support our product lines. Our sales are normally negotiated and executed in U.S. Dollars or Euros. Our direct sales force and marketing operations are based out of our corporate headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. Research and Development We continue to invest in research and development of current and emerging technologies that we deem critical to maintaining our competitive position in the mobile multimedia telecommunications markets. Many factors are involved in determining the strategic direction of our product development focus, including trends and developments in the marketplace, competitive analyses, market demands, business conditions, and feedback from our customers and strategic partners. In fiscal years 2007 and 2006 we spent $4.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, on research and development activities. A critical part of our research and development is focused on touch screen technology. We believe there is strong potential for zForce™ but understand the need for constant development and enhancement of the technology to keep our leading position in the market in relation to finger based touch screens. 6 We carefully monitor innovations in other technologies and are constantly seeking new areas for application of zForce™. We have developed a technology roadmap that we believe will ensure a steady stream of new innovations and areas of use. Our research and development is predominantly in-house but also done in close collaboration with external partners and specialists. Our development areas can be divided into the following areas: • Software • Optical • Mechanical • Electrical Our product development efforts are focused principally on our strategic product lines, including a new touch screen phone with additional functionality. Manufacturing We do not engage in any manufacturing operations. We have a strong relationship with our manufacturing partner Balda AG and their manufacturing plant in Malaysia. Together, we believe we have the ability to increase production volumes to meet the demands from the markets and our expansion plans. Competition Competition in the mobile computing device market is intense and characterized by rapid change and complex technology. The principal competitive factors affecting the market for our mobile computing devices are access to sales and distribution channels, price, styling, usability, functionality, features, operating system, brand, marketing, availability of third-party software applications and customer and developer support. Our devices compete with a variety of mobile devices, including pen-and keyboard-based devices, mobile phones and converged voice/data devices. Our principal competitors include: mobile handset and Smartphone manufacturers such as Apple, High Tech Computer (HTC), Palm, Motorola, Nokia, Research in Motion, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson and Hewlett-Packard; hand held devices made by consumer electronics companies such as Garmin, NEC, Sharp Electronics and Yakumo; and a variety of early-stage technology companies. Some of these competitors, such as HTC, produce multimedia phones as carrier-branded devices in addition to their own branded devices. In addition, our devices compete for a share of disposable income and enterprise spending on consumer electronics, telecommunications and computing products such as MP3 players, Apple’s iPods, media/photo views, digital cameras, personal media players, digital storage devices, handheld gaming devices, GPS devices and other such devices. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and are well established. Competition within the communications market varies principally by application segment. Backlog On December 31, 2007, we did not have any firm order backlog of product orders from our customers. Employees On December 31, 2007, we had 42 full-time employees and augment our staffing needs with consultants as needed. Our employees are located in our corporate headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden and branch offices located in Portugal, Hong Kong, Shanghai, China and the United States. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have experienced no work stoppages. We believe our employee relations are positive. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 7 In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, stockholders or prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors: Risks Related To Our Business Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern opinion on our financial statements, questioning our ability to continue as a going concern. Due to our need to raise additional financing to fund our operations and satisfy obligations as they become due, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements regarding their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. This may have a negative impact on the trading price of our common stock and adversely impact our ability to obtain necessary financing. We will require additional capital in the future to fund our operations, which capital may not be available on commercially attractive terms or at all. We will require sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. In March 2008 we closed an aggregate of $4.5 million of private equity financing. If our operations do not become cash flow positive as projected we will 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. We have never been profitable and we anticipate significant additional losses in the future . Neonode was formed in 2006 as a holding company owning and operating Neonode AB, which was formed in 2004 and has been primarily engaged in the business of developing and selling mobile phones. We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies in the early stages of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Our success will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to: • the growth of mobile telephone usage; • the efforts of our marketing partners; • the level of competition faced by us; and • our ability to meet customer demand for products and ongoing service. In addition, we have experienced substantial net losses in each fiscal period since our inception. These net losses resulted from a lack of substantial revenues and the significant costs incurred in the development of our products and infrastructure. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional funds and implement our business plan. Our limited operating history and the emerging nature of our market, together with the other risk factors set forth in this report, make prediction of our future operating results difficult. There can also be no assurance that we will ever achieve significant revenues or profitability or, if significant revenues and profitability are achieved, that they could be sustained. If we fail to develop and introduce new products and services successfully and in a cost effective and timely manner, we will not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer . We operate in a highly competitive, rapidly evolving environment, and our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products and services that our customers and end users choose to buy. If we are unsuccessful at developing and introducing new products and services that are appealing to our customers and end users with acceptable quality, prices and terms, we will not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer. The development of new products and services is very difficult and requires high levels of innovation. The development process is also lengthy and costly. If we fail to anticipate our end users’ needs or technological trends accurately or we are unable to complete the development of products and services in a cost effective and timely fashion, we will be unable to introduce new products and services into the market or successfully compete with other providers. 8 As we introduce new or enhanced products or integrate new technology into new or existing products, we face risks including, among other things, disruption in customers’ ordering patterns, excessive levels of older product inventories, inability to deliver sufficient supplies of new products to meet customers’ demand, possible product and technology defects, and a potentially different sales and support environment. Premature announcements or leaks of new products, features or technologies may exacerbate some of these risks. Our failure to manage the transition to newer products or the integration of newer technology into new or existing products could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are dependent on third parties to manufacture and supply our products and components of our products. Our products are built by a limited number of independent manufacturers. Although we provide manufacturers with key performance specifications for the phones, these manufacturers could: • manufacture phones with defects that fail to perform to our specifications; • fail to meet delivery schedules; or • fail to properly service phones or honor warranties. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services, which, in turn, could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and liquidity, as well as our brand image. We may become highly dependent on wireless carriers for the success of our products. Our business strategy includes significant efforts to establish relationships with international wireless carriers. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in establishing new relationships, or maintaining such relationships, with wireless carriers or that these wireless carriers will act in a manner that will promote the success of our multimedia phone products. Factors that are largely within the control of wireless carriers, but which are important to the success of our multimedia phone products, include: For example, flat data rate pricing plans offered by some wireless carriers may represent some risk to our relationship with such carriers. While flat data pricing helps customer adoption of the data services offered by carriers and therefore highlights the advantages of the data applications of its products, such plans may not allow its multimedia phones to contribute as much average revenue per user to wireless carriers as when they are priced by usage, and therefore reduces our differentiation from other, non-data devices in the view of the carriers. In addition, if wireless carriers charge higher rates than consumers are willing to pay, the acceptance of our wireless solutions could be less than anticipated and our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected. Wireless carriers have substantial bargaining power as we enter into agreements with them. They may require contract terms that are difficult for us to satisfy, which could result in higher costs to complete certification requirements and negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, we may not have agreements with some of the wireless carriers with whom they will do business and, in some cases, the agreements may be with third-party distributors and may not pass through rights to us or provide us with recourse or contact with the carrier. The absence of agreements means that, with little or no notice, these wireless carriers could refuse to continue to purchase all or some of our products or change the terms under which they purchase our products. If these wireless carriers were to stop purchasing our products, we may be unable to replace the lost sales channel on a timely basis and our results of operations could be harmed. • testing of our products on wireless carriers’ networks; • quality and coverage area of wireless voice and data services offered by the wireless carriers; • the degree to which wireless carriers facilitate the introduction of and actively market, advertise, promote, distribute and resell our multimedia phone products; • the extent to which wireless carriers require specific hardware and software features on our multimedia phone to be used on their networks; • timely build out of advanced wireless carrier networks that enhance the user experience for data centric services through higher speed and other functionality; • contractual terms and conditions imposed on them by wireless carriers that, in some circumstances, could limit our ability to make similar products available through competitive carriers in some market segments; • wireless carriers’ pricing requirements and subsidy programs; and • pricing and other terms and conditions of voice and data rate plans that the wireless carriers offer for use with our multimedia phone products. 9 Wireless carriers could also significantly affect our ability to develop and launch products for use on their wireless networks. If we fail to address the needs of wireless carriers, identify new product and service opportunities or modify or improve our multimedia phone products in response to changes in technology, industry standards or wireless carrier requirements, our products could rapidly become less competitive or obsolete. If we fail to timely develop products that meet carrier product planning cycles or fail to deliver sufficient quantities of products in a timely manner to wireless carriers, those carriers may choose to emphasize similar products from our competitors and thereby reduce their focus on its products which would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Carriers, who control most of the distribution and sale of, and virtually all of the access for, multimedia phone products could commoditize multimedia phones, thereby reducing the average selling prices and margins for our products which would have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if carriers move away from subsidizing the purchase of mobile phone products, this could significantly reduce the sales or growth rate of sales of mobile phone products. This could have an adverse impact on our business, revenues and results of operations. As we build strategic relationships with wireless carriers, we may be exposed to significant fluctuations in revenue for our multimedia phone products . Because of their large sales channels, wireless carriers may purchase large quantities of our products prior to launch so that the products are widely available. Reorders of products may fluctuate quarter to quarter, depending on end-customer demand and inventory levels required by the carriers. As we develop new strategic relationships and launch new products with wireless carriers, our revenue could be subject to significant fluctuation based on the timing of carrier product launches, carrier inventory requirements, marketing efforts and our ability to forecast and satisfy carrier and end-customer demand. We do not have a history of selling to wireless carriers and as a result do not have do not have a basis for estimating what the potential fluctuations in our revenue will be from the sale of our multimedia phones. The mobile communications industry is highly competitive and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources to engage in product development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing. The mobile communications industry, in which we are engaged, is a highly competitive business with companies of all sizes engaged in business in all areas of the world, including companies with far greater resources than we have. There can be no assurance that other competitors, with greater resources and business connections, will not compete successfully against us in the future. Our competitors may adopt new technologies that reduce the demand for our products or render our technologies obsolete, which may have a material adverse effect on the cost structure and competitiveness of our products, possibly resulting in a negative effect on our revenues, profitability or liquidity. Our future results could be harmed by economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international sales and operations. Because we sell our products worldwide and most of the facilities where our devices are manufactured, distributed and supported are located outside the United States, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, such as: • changes in foreign currency exchange rates; • the impact of recessions in the global economy or in specific sub economies; • changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in emerging markets; • changes in international relations; • trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; • changes in tax laws; • compliance with a wide variety of laws and regulations which may have civil and/or criminal consequences for them and our officers and directors who they indemnify; • difficulty in managing widespread sales operations; and • difficulty in managing a geographically dispersed workforce in compliance with diverse local laws and customs. 10 In addition, we are subject to changes in demand for our products resulting from exchange rate fluctuations that make our products relatively more or less expensive in international markets. If exchange rate fluctuations occur, our business and results of operations could be harmed by decreases in demand for our products or reductions in margins. While we sell our products worldwide, one component of our strategy is to expand our sales efforts in countries with large populations and propensities for adopting new technologies. We have limited experience with sales and marketing in some of these countries. There can be no assurance that we will be able to market and sell our products in all of our targeted international markets. If our international efforts are not successful, our business growth and results of operations could be harmed. We must significantly enhance our sales and product development organizations. We will need to improve the effectiveness and breadth of our sales operations in order to increase market awareness and sales of our products, especially as we expand into new markets. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense, and we may not be able to hire the kind and number of sales personnel we are targeting. Likewise, our efforts to improve and refine our products require skilled engineers and programmers. Competition for professionals capable of expanding our research and development organization is intense due to the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills. If we are unable to identify, hire or retain qualified sales, marketing and technical personnel, our ability to achieve future revenue may be adversely affected. We are dependent on the services of our key personnel. We are dependent on our current management for the foreseeable future. The loss of the services of any member of management could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and prospects. If third parties infringe our intellectual property or if we are unable to secure and protect our intellectual property, we may expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury. Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology and other intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Our intellectual property, particularly our patents, may not provide us a significant competitive advantage. If we fail to protect or to enforce our intellectual property rights successfully, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our results of operations. Our pending patent and trademark applications for registration may not be allowed, or others may challenge the validity or scope of our patents or trademarks, including patent or trademark applications or registrations. Even if our patents or trademark registrations are issued and maintained, these patents or trademarks may not be of adequate scope or benefit to them or may be held invalid and unenforceable against third parties. We may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. Effective policing of the unauthorized use of our products or intellectual property is difficult and litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Intellectual property litigation is not only expensive, but time-consuming, regardless of the merits of any claim, and could divert attention of our management from operating the business. Despite our efforts, we may not be able to detect infringement and may lose competitive position in the market before they do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technology or develop competing technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market share. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, existing laws, contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to, among other things, the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in asserting intellectual property claims. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third party copying or use. The unauthorized use of our technology or of our proprietary information by competitors could have an adverse effect on our ability to sell our products. We have an international presence in countries whose laws may not provide protection of our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, which may make it more difficult for us to protect our intellectual property. 11 As part of our business strategy, we target customers and relationships with suppliers and original distribution manufacturers in countries with large populations and propensities for adopting new technologies. However, many of these countries do not address misappropriation of intellectual property or deter others from developing similar, competing technologies or intellectual property. Effective protection of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. In particular, the laws of some foreign countries in which we do business may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. As a result, we may not be able to effectively prevent competitors in these regions from infringing our intellectual property rights, which would reduce our competitive advantage and ability to compete in those regions and negatively impact our business. If we do not correctly forecast demand for our products, we could have costly excess production or inventories or we may not be able to secure sufficient or cost effective quantities of our products or production materials, and our revenues, cost of revenues and financial condition could be adversely impacted. The demand for our products depends on many factors, including pricing and channel inventory levels, and is difficult to forecast due in part to variations in economic conditions, changes in consumer and enterprise preferences, relatively short product life cycles, changes in competition, seasonality and reliance on key sales channel partners. It is particularly difficult to forecast demand by individual variations of the product, such as the color of the casing or size of memory. Significant unanticipated fluctuations in demand, the timing and disclosure of new product releases or the timing of key sales orders could result in costly excess production or inventories or the inability to secure sufficient, cost-effective quantities of our products or production materials. This could adversely impact our revenues, cost of revenues and financial condition. We rely on third parties to sell and distribute our products and we rely on their information to manage our business. Disruption of our relationship with these channel partners, changes in their business practices, their failure to provide timely and accurate information or conflicts among its channels of distribution could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The distributors, wireless carriers, retailers and resellers who sell or distribute our products also sell products offered by our competitors. If our competitors offer our sales channel partners more favorable terms or have more products available to meet their needs or utilize the leverage of broader product lines sold through the channel, those wireless carriers, distributors, retailers and resellers may de-emphasize or decline to carry our products. In addition, certain of our sales channel partners could decide to de-emphasize the product categories that we offer in exchange for other product categories that they believe provide higher returns. If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with these sales channel partners or to expand our distribution channels, our business will suffer. Because we intend to sell our products primarily to distributors, wireless carriers, retailers and resellers, we are subject to many risks, including risks related to product returns, either through the exercise of contractual return rights or as a result of its strategic interest in assisting them in balancing inventories. In addition, these sales channel partners could modify their business practices, such as inventory levels, or seek to modify their contractual terms, such as return rights or payment terms. Unexpected changes in product return requests, inventory levels, payment terms or other practices by these sales channel partners could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will rely on distributors, wireless carriers, retailers and resellers to provide us with timely and accurate information about their inventory levels as well as sell-through of products purchased from us. We will use this information as one of the factors in our forecasting process to plan future production and sales levels, which in turn will influence our public financial forecasts. We will also use this information as a factor in determining the levels of some of our financial reserves. If we do not receive this information on a timely and accurate basis, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted. Distributors, retailers and traditional resellers experience competition from Internet-based resellers that distribute directly to end-customers, and there is also competition among Internet-based resellers. We also sell our products directly to end-customers from our Neonode.com web site. These varied sales channels could cause conflict among our channels of distribution, which could harm our business, revenues and results of operations. If our multimedia phone products do not meet wireless carrier and governmental or regulatory certification requirements, we will not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer. 12 We are required to certify our multimedia phone products with governmental and regulatory agencies and with the wireless carriers for use on their networks. The certification process can be time consuming, could delay the offering of our products on carrier networks and affect our ability to timely deliver products to customers. As a result, carriers may choose to offer, or consumers may choose to buy, similar products from our competitors and thereby reduce their purchases of our products, which would have a negative impact on our products sales volumes, our revenues and our cost of revenues. We depend on our suppliers, some of which are the sole source and some of which are our competitors, for certain components, software applications and elements of our technology, and our production or reputation could be harmed if these suppliers were unable or unwilling to meet our demand or technical requirements on a timely and/or a cost-effective basis. Our multimedia products contain software applications and components, including liquid crystal displays, touch panels, memory chips, microprocessors, cameras, radios and batteries, which are procured from a variety of suppliers, including some who are our competitors. The cost, quality and availability of software applications and components are essential to the successful production and sale of our device products. For example, media player applications are critical to the functionality of our multimedia phone devices. Some components, such as screens and related integrated circuits, digital signal processors, microprocessors, radio frequency components and other discrete components, come from sole source suppliers. Alternative sources are not always available or may be prohibitively expensive. In addition, even when we have multiple qualified suppliers, we may compete with other purchasers for allocation of scarce components. Some components come from companies with whom we competes in the multimedia phone device market. If suppliers are unable or unwilling to meet our demand for components and if we are unable to obtain alternative sources or if the price for alternative sources is prohibitive, our ability to maintain timely and cost-effective production of our multimedia phone will be harmed. Shortages affect the timing and volume of production for some of our products as well as increasing our costs due to premium prices paid for those components. Some of our suppliers may be capacity-constrained due to high industry demand for some components and relatively long lead times to expand capacity. If we are unable to obtain key technologies from third parties on a timely basis and free from errors or defects, we may have to delay or cancel the release of certain products or features in our products or incur increased costs. We license third-party software for use in our products, including the operating systems. Our ability to release and sell our products, as well as our reputation, could be harmed if the third-party technologies are not delivered to customers in a timely manner, on acceptable business terms or contain errors or defects that are not discovered and fixed prior to release of our products and we are unable to obtain alternative technologies on a timely and cost effective basis to use in our products. As a result, our product shipments could be delayed, our offering of features could be reduced or we may need to divert our development resources from other business objectives, any of which could adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations. Our product strategy is to base our products on software operating systems that are commercially available to competitors. Our multimedia phone is based on a commercially available version of Microsoft’s Windows CE. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain this licensing agreement with Microsoft and that Microsoft will not grant similar rights to our competitors or that we will be able to sufficiently differentiate our multimedia phone from the multitude of other devices based on Windows CE. In addition, there is significant competition in the operating system software and services market, including proprietary operating systems such as Symbian and Palm OS, open source operating systems, such as Linux, other proprietary operating systems and other software technologies, such as Java and RIM’s licensed technology. This competition is being developed and promoted by competitors and potential competitors, some of which have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have, such as Access, Motorola, Nokia, Sony-Ericsson and RIM. These competitors could provide additional or better functionality than we do or may be able to respond more rapidly than we can to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements. Competitors in this market could devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services and the third-party developer community, which could attract the attention of influential user segments. If we are unable to continue to differentiate the operating systems that we include in our mobile computing devices, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected. The market for multimedia phone products is volatile, and changing market conditions, or failure to adjust to changing market conditions, may adversely affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition, particularly given our size, limited resources and lack of diversification. 13 We operate in the multimedia phone market which has seen significant growth during the past years. We cannot assure you that this significant growth in the sales of multimedia devices will continue. If we are unable to adequately respond to changes in demand for our products, our revenues and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, as our products mature and face greater competition, we may experience pressure on our product pricing to preserve demand for our products, which would adversely affect our margins, results of operations and financial condition. This reliance on the success of and trends in our industry is compounded by the size of our organization and our focus on multimedia phones. These factors also make us more dependent on investments of our limited resources. For example, Neonode faces many resource allocation decisions, such as: where to focus our research and development, geographic sales and marketing and partnering efforts; which aspects of our business to outsource; and which operating systems and email solutions to support. Given the size and undiversified nature of our organization, any error in investment strategy could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our products are subject to increasingly stringent laws, standards and other regulatory requirements, and the costs of compliance or failure to comply may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our products must comply with a variety of laws, standards and other requirements governing, among other things, safety, materials usage, packaging and environmental impacts and must obtain regulatory approvals and satisfy other regulatory concerns in the various jurisdictions where our products are sold. Many of our products must meet standards governing, among other things, interference with other electronic equipment and human exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Failure to comply with such requirements can subject us to liability, additional costs and reputational harm and in severe cases prevent us from selling our products in certain jurisdictions. For example, many of our products are subject to laws and regulations that restrict the use of lead and other substances and require producers of electrical and electronic equipment to assume responsibility for collecting, treating, recycling and disposing of our products when they have reached the end of their useful life. In Europe, substance restrictions began to apply to the products sold after July 1, 2006, when new recycling, labeling, financing and related requirements came into effect. Failure to comply with applicable environmental requirements can result in fines, civil or criminal sanctions and third-party claims. If products we sell in Europe are found to contain more than the permitted percentage of lead or another listed substance, it is possible that we could be forced to recall the products, which could lead to substantial replacement costs, contract damage claims from customers, and reputational harm. We expect similar requirements in the United States, China and other parts of the world. As a result of these new European requirements and anticipated developments elsewhere, we are facing increasingly complex procurement and design challenges, which, among other things, require us to incur additional costs identifying suppliers and contract manufacturers who can provide, and otherwise obtain, compliant materials, parts and end products and re-designing products so that they comply with these and the many other requirements applicable to them. Allegations of health risks associated with electromagnetic fields and wireless communications devices, and the lawsuits and publicity relating to them, regardless of merit, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. There has been public speculation about possible health risks to individuals from exposure to electromagnetic fields, or radio signals, from base stations and from the use of mobile devices. While a substantial amount of scientific research by various independent research bodies has indicated that these radio signals, at levels within the limits prescribed by public health authority standards and recommendations, present no evidence of adverse effect to human health, we cannot assure you that future studies, regardless of their scientific basis, will not suggest a link between electromagnetic fields and adverse health effects. Government agencies, international health organizations and other scientific bodies are currently conducting research into these issues. In addition, other mobile device companies have been named in individual plaintiff and class action lawsuits alleging that radio emissions from mobile phones have caused or contributed to brain tumors and the use of mobile phones pose a health risk. Although our products are certified as meeting applicable public health authority safety standards and recommendations, even a perceived risk of adverse health effects from wireless communications devices could adversely impact use of wireless communications devices or subject them to costly litigation and could harm our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause unexpected fluctuations in and adversely affect our reported results of operations. 14 Any change in financial accounting standards or practices that cause a change in the methodology or procedures by which we track, calculate, record and report our results of operations or financial condition or both could cause fluctuations in and adversely affect our reported results of operations and cause our historical financial information to not be reliable as an indicator of future results. Wars, terrorist attacks or other threats beyond its control could negatively impact consumer confidence, which could harm our operating results. Wars, terrorist attacks or other threats beyond our control could have an adverse impact on the United States, Europe and world economy in general, and consumer confidence and spending in particular, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Risks Related to Owning Our Stock If we continue to experience losses, we could experience difficulty meeting our business plan and our stock price could be negatively affected. If we are unable to gain market acceptance of our mobile phone handsets, we will experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flow from our operations. Any failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the market price of our common stock. We anticipate that we will continue to incur product development, sales and marketing and administrative expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant quarterly revenues if we are to achieve and maintain profitability. A substantial failure to achieve profitability could make it difficult or impossible for us to grow our business. Our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. Any failure to significantly increase revenues would also harm our ability to achieve and maintain profitability. If we do achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our common stock is at risk for delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we fail to maintain minimum listing maintenance standards. If it is delisted, our stock price and your liquidity may be impacted. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol NEON. In order for our common stock to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy various listing maintenance standards established by Nasdaq. Among other things, as such requirements pertain to us, we are required to have stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million or market capitalization of $35 million and public float value of at least $1.0 million and our common stock must have a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share . Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change in control. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be materially adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Furthermore, certain other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or management, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. Our stock price has been volatile, and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value. There has been significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity securities, which is unrelated to the financial performance of the companies issuing the securities. These broad market fluctuations may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. You may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you pay for those shares due to fluctuations in the market price of our common stock caused by changes in our operating performance or prospects and other factors. Some specific factors that may have a significant effect on our common stock market price include: • actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or future prospects; • our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of new products; 15 Future sales of our common stock could adversely affect its price and our future capital-raising activities could involve the issuance of equity securities, which would dilute your investment and could result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock. We may sell securities in the public or private equity markets if and when conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. We may issue additional common stock in future financing transactions or as incentive compensation for our executive management and other key personnel, consultants and advisors. Issuing any equity securities would be dilutive to the equity interests represented by our then-outstanding shares of common stock. The market price for our common stock could decrease as the market takes into account the dilutive effect of any of these issuances. Furthermore, we may enter into financing transactions at prices that represent a substantial discount to the market price of our common stock. A negative reaction by investors and securities analysts to any discounted sale of our equity securities could result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock. If registration rights that we have previously granted are exercised, then the price of our common stock may be adversely affected. We have agreed to register with the SEC the shares of common issued to former Neonode stockholders in connection with the merger and to participants in a private placement funding we completed on March 4, 2008. In addition, we have granted piggyback registration rights to the investors who participated in our March private placement. In the event these securities are registered with the SEC, they may be freely sold in the open market, subject to trading restrictions to which our insiders holding the shares may be subject from time to time. In the event that we fail to register such shares in a timely basis, we may have liabilities to such stockholders. We expect that we also will be required to register any securities sold in future private financings. The sale of a significant amount of shares in the open market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or become highly volatile. Not applicable. On October 22, 2007, our subsidiary Neonode AB entered into a lease agreement with NCC Property G AB for 9,500 square feet office space at Warfvingsesvag 41, Stockholm, to be used as the corporate headquarters. The lease period began on April 1, 2008 and expires on March 31, 2013. The annual payment for these premise equates to approximately $288,000 per year and is indexed to the consumer price index in Sweden. As an incentive to enter into the agreement as one of the firs tenants to occupy the building, the NCC Property G AB has given Neonode AB discounts amounting to approximately $120,000 allocated over the first eight months of the leasing period. Prior to taking occupancy of this new facility, during fiscal year 2007 through March 31, 2008, we occupied 6,000 square feet of office space in Stockholm under a lease which has now expired. • the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC; • strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings; • new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; • changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles; • changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates; • developments regarding our patents or proprietary rights or those of our competitors; • our inability to raise additional capital as needed; • concern as to the efficacy of our products; • changes in financial markets or general economic conditions; • sales of common stock by us or members of our management team; and • changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding our common stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS ITEM 2. PROPERTIES 16 On October 21, 2007, Neonode AB also entered into a lease agreement with NCC Property G AB for 10 parking spaces located at Warfvingsesvag 41, Stockholm. The lease period begins on April 1, 2008 and expires on March 31, 2013. The annual payment for these premise amounts to $28,000 per year and is indexed to the consumer price index in Sweden. Neonode AB has the right to terminate the lease on March 31, 2011 if notice of termination is given by Neonode AB at least 9 months prior to March 31, 2011. In addition, we lease 2,000 square feet of office space in San Ramon, California on a month-to-month basis at cost of $5,000 per month. We have occupied this space since March 2007 under a lease with One Stop Systems, Inc. In connection with the sale of the SBE, Inc hardware business, on March 29, 2007, SBE signed a definitive agreement providing for the assumption of the lease of the prior SBE San Ramon headquarters office space for 22,000 square feet that was effective with the closing of the sale of the hardware business transaction. As the result of the merger with SBE, we will continue to be secondary guarantor on the lease for the term of the San Ramon lease which terminates in March 2010. We may from time to time become a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2007, we had no known material current, pending, or threatened litigation. A special meeting of stockholders was held on Tuesday, December 18, 2007, at the offices of DavenportMajor Executive Search, located at 12770 High Bluff Drive, Suite 320, San Diego, California 92130. The stockholders approved the following six items: (i) The election of Mikael Hagman to the Board of Directors (ii) The election of John Reardon to the Board of Directors (iii) The approval of an amendment to the Neonode’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 75,000,000.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA 18 The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements reflect our analysis only as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update these statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related notes included therein. Overview We believe our current product, the Neonode N2, is the world’s smallest touchscreen mobile phone handset. The N2 fits in the palm of your hand and is designed to allow the user to navigate the menus and functions with simple finger based taps and sweeps. The N2 incorporates our patent pending touchscreen and other proprietary technologies to deliver a mobile phone with a completely unique user experience that doesn’t require any keypads, buttons or other moving parts. The first model of our touchscreen multimedia mobile phone, the N1, was released in November 2004. The N1 was primarily a concept phone that was sold in limited quantities from late 2004 to early 2006. The N2 is our first production-quality product. We began shipping the N2 to customers in mid-July 2007 and have shipped approximately 31,000 units from July 2007 through December 31, 2007. Our business focus is a combination of licensing our touchscreen technology to other companies and developing and selling our own products using our technology in mobile device markets. The cornerstone of our business is our innovative patent pending touchscreen solutions. We believe that in the future keyboards and keypads with moving parts will become obsolete and that our touchscreen solutions and technologies will be at the forefront of a new wave of input technologies that will be able to run everything from small mobile devices to large industrial applications. Neonode was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2006 to be the parent of Neonode AB, a company founded in February 2004 and incorporated in Sweden. In a February 2006 corporate reorganization, Neonode issued shares and warrants to the stockholders of Neonode AB in exchange for all of the outstanding stock and warrants of Neonode AB. Following the reorganization, Neonode AB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neonode. Since there was no change in control of the group, the reorganization was accounted for with no change in accounting basis for Neonode AB and the assets and liabilities were accounted for at historical cost in the new group. The consolidated accounts comprise the accounts of the combined companies as if they had been owned by Neonode throughout the entire reporting period. We have incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $58.7 million. We expect to incur additional losses and may have negative operating cash flows through the end of 2008. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm in respect of the 2007 fiscal year, included elsewhere in this annual report includes an explanatory going concern paragraph which raises substantial doubt to continue as a going concern, which indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. Although we have been able to fund our operations to date, there is no assurance that our capital raising efforts will be able to attract the additional capital or other funds needed to sustain our operations. Our long-term success is dependent on obtaining sufficient capital or operating cash flows to fund our operations and development of our products, bringing such products to the worldwide market. To achieve these objectives, we may be required to raise additional capital through public or private financings or other arrangements. It cannot be assured that such financings will be available on terms attractive to us, if at all. Such financings may be dilutive to stockholders and may contain restrictive covenants. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 19 We are subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages of development. See “Risk Factors” above. Principal risks include uncertainty of growth in market acceptance for our products, history of losses since inception, ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies, costs to defend, as well as risks of losing patent and intellectual property rights, reliance on limited number of suppliers, reliance on outsourced manufacture of our products for quality control and product availability, ability to increase production capacity to meet demand for our products, concentration of our operations in a limited number of facilities, uncertainty of demand for our products in certain markets, ability to manage growth effectively, dependence on key members of our management and development team, limited experience in conducting operations internationally, and ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations. Background The merger (Merger) of Old Neonode with our wholly-owned acquisition subsidiary closed on August 10, 2007. For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger with Old Neonode as the accounting acquirer. Thus, the historical financial statements of Old Neonode have become our historical financial statements and the results of operations of our company (formally known as SBE, Inc.) are included in the results of operations presented elsewhere and discussed herein only from August 10, 2007. Thus the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 below reflect Old Neonode’s stand-alone consolidated operations. The audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 appearing below include the results of operations of formerly SBE, Inc only from August 10, 2007. Our consolidated financial statements include Old Neonode’s accounts, those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Neonode AB, and, from August 10, 2007, SBE, Inc’s accounts and the accounts of SBE, Inc’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cold Winter, Inc. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of our financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its subsidiary based in Sweden, Neonode AB. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following are some of the more critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition Our policy is to recognize revenue for product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of products to our customers. We estimate expected sales returns and record the amount as a reduction of revenues and cost of sales at the time of shipment. Our policy complies with the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We recognize revenue from the sale of our mobile phones when all of the following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our products have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (3) we have completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue to which we are entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) we believe it is probable that we will be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized until we have determined that collectibility is reasonably assured. To date, our revenues have consisted primarily to distributors located in various 13 regions. We may allow, from time to time, certain distributors price protection subsequent to the initial product shipment. P rice protection may allow the distributor a credit (either in cash or as a discount on future purchases) if there is a price decrease during a specified period of time or until the distributor resells the goods. Future price adjustments are difficult to estimate since we do not have sufficient history of making price adjustments. We, therefore, defer recognition of revenue (in the balance sheet line item “deferred revenue”) derived from sales to these customers until they have resold our products to their customers. Although revenue recognition and related cost of sales are deferred, we record an accounts receivable at the time of initial product shipment. As standard terms are generally FOB shipping point, payment terms are enforced from shipment date and legal title and risk of inventory loss passes to the distributor upon shipment. 20 For products sold to distributors with agreements allowing for price protection and product returns, we recognize revenue based on our best estimate of when the distributor sold the product to its end customer. Our estimate of such distributor sell-through is based on information received from our distributors. Revenue is not recognized upon shipment since, due to various forms of price concessions, the sales price is not substantially fixed or determinable at that time. Revenue from products sold directly to end-users though our web sales channels is generally recognized when title and risk of loss has passed to the buyer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Reserves for sales returns are estimated based primarily on historical experience and are provided at the time of shipment. We derive revenue from license of our 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 will 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 sale 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. Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes revenue from the sales of our first mobile phone, the N1 and current product, the N2 multimedia mobile phones and revenue from a licensing agreement with a major Asian manufacturer. In July 2005, we entered into a licensing agreement with a major Asian manufacturer whereby we licensed our touchscreen technology for use in a mobile phone to be included in their product assortment. In this agreement, we received approximately $2.0 million in return for granting an exclusive right to use our touchscreen technology over a two year period. The exclusive rights do not limit our right to use our licensed technology for our own use, nor to grant to third parties rights to use our licensed technology in devices other than mobile phones. Another component of the agreement provides for a fee of approximately $2.65 per telephone if the Asian manufacturer sells mobile phones based on our technology. In July 2007, we extended this license agreement on a non-exclusive basis for an additional term of one year. As of March 31, 2008, the Asian manufacturer had not sold any mobile telephones using our technology. The net revenue related to this agreement has been allocated over the term of the agreement, amounting to $463,000 in 2007 and $851,000 in 2006, respectively. The contract also includes consulting services to be provided by Neonode on an “as needed basis.” The fees for these consultancy services vary from hourly rates to monthly rates and are based on reasonable market rates for such services. To date, we have not provided any consulting service related to this agreement. Generally, our customers are responsible for the payment of all shipping and handling charges directly with the freight carriers. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. Where appropriate, we obtain credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining or modifying their credit limits. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, we initiates dialogue with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting their business, we record a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount we expect to recover. Should all efforts fail to recover the related receivable, we will write-off the account. We also record an allowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers. Warranty Reserves Our products are generally warranted against defects for 12 months following the sale. We have a 12 month warranty from the manufacturer of the mobile phones. Reserves for potential warranty claims not covered by the manufacturer are provided at the time of revenue recognition and are based on several factors, including current sales levels and our estimate of repair costs. Shipping and handling charges are expensed as incurred. Research and Development 21 Research and Development (R&D)costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs Research and development costs consists mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements. Long-lived Assets We assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . If the estimated undiscounted cash flow related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of these assets. The impairment is based on the estimated discounted cash flow associated with the asset. Stock Based Compensation Expense We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R) . We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services , which require that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value and the unvested portion is re-measured each reporting period. When determining stock based compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Accounting for Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants We account for debt issued with stock purchase warrants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) opinion 14, Accounting for Convertible Debts and Debts issued with stock purchase warrants, if they meet equity classification . We allocate the proceeds of the debt between the debt and the detachable warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants themselves. Derivatives We do not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, we enter into contracts that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but that include embedded derivative features. Such embedded derivatives are assessed at inception of the contract and, depending on their characteristics, are accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments pursuant to SFAS 133 , Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (together, SFAS 133. We account for these derivatives under SFAS 133. SFAS 133 requires that we analyze all material contracts and determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives. Any such derivatives are then bifurcated from their host contract and recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations. Income taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. We estimate income taxes based on rates in effect in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred tax assets where, in our opinion, realization is uncertain based on the “not more likely than not” criteria of SFAS 109. Based on the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such a determination was made. The provision for income taxes represents the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus income taxes payable for the current period. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , which provisions included a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and a decrease in the related reserve of the same amount. Therefore upon implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of December 30, 2007, unrecognized tax benefits approximated $0. 22 New Accounting Pronouncements The following are expected effects of recent accounting pronouncements. We are required to analyze these pronouncements and determined the effect, if any, the adoption of these pronouncements would have on our results of operations or financial position. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after 15 December 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2009. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. The standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The statement is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2009. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP SFAS 157-2) that deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement 115, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value has been elected will be reported in earnings. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 , as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our financial position, and we will make all necessary disclosures upon adoption, if applicable. Results of Operations On August 10, 2007, SBE announced the completion of the previously announced merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cold Winter Acquisition Corporation, with and into Neonode Inc., pursuant to which Neonode changed its name to “Cold Winter, Inc.” and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Following the closing of the merger transaction, the Company was renamed “Neonode Inc.” The newly-combined Company’s headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden. SBE issued approximately 20.4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for 5.8 million outstanding shares of Neonode Inc. common stock and the assumption of outstanding options and warrants to purchase an additional 7.9 million shares of Neonode Inc. common stock. The Company’s common stock started trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 13, 2007 under the new ticker symbol “NEON.” 23 For accounting purposes, the Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger with Old Neonode as the accounting acquirer. This transaction was treated as a recapitalization. Thus, the historical financial statements of Old Neonode have become our historical financial statements and the results of operations of our company (formally known as SBE, Inc.) are included in the results of operations presented elsewhere and discussed herein only from August 10, 2007. Thus the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 below reflect Old Neonode’s stand-alone consolidated operations. The audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 appearing below include the results of operations of formerly SBE, Inc. only from August 10, 2007. Our consolidated financial statements include Old Neonode’s accounts, those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Neonode AB, and, from August 10, 2007, SBE, Inc.’s accounts and the accounts of SBE, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Cold Winter, Inc. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales, certain statements of operations data for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These operating results are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future period. Net Sales Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $3.1 million, an approximately 94% increase from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes $2.7 million and $793,000 revenue from the sales of our multimedia mobile phones, respectively. In addition, license revenue in 2007 and 2006 amounted to $463,000 and $851,000. License revenue was received from a July 2005 licensing agreement with a major Asian manufacturer whereby we licensed our touchscreen technology for use in a mobile phone to be included in their product assortment. In this agreement, we received an initial payment of approximately $2.0 million plus will receive $2.65 for each device manufactured using our technology in return for granting an exclusive right to use our touchscreen technology for a mobile phone handset for a period that expired in July 2007. We extended the contract for an additional one year period until July 2008 without the exclusive rights. The increase in Net Sales is attributable to the launch of the N2 model of our multimedia mobile phone in mid-February 2007. The N2 phone represents our first general release mobile phone handset and we began shipping to our first European customers in July of 2007. 2007 2006 Net sales 100 % 100 % Cost of sales 74 % 79 % Gross profit 26 % 21 % Operating expenses: Research and development 142 % 135 % Sales and marketing 100 % 45 % General and administrative 162 % 112 % Total operating expenses 404 % 292 % Operating loss (379 %) (272 %) Other income (expense): Interest income and other, net (9 %) (14 %) Interest expense (9 %) (14 %) Charges related to debt extinguishments and debt discounts (125 %) (12 %) Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants (1,024 %) 1 % Total other expense (1,167 %) (39 %) Net loss (1,547 %) (311 %) Non-cash inducement charge related to corporate reorganization February 28, 2006 - 6 % Net loss attributable to common shareholders (1,547 %) (318 %) 24 We sell our products through a direct sales force that supports our distributors. In 2007, we concentrated our sales efforts on the European and Indian markets. In 2008, we plan an expansion into the North American, South American and Chinese markets through Neonode USA, a joint venture between Neonode Inc and Distribution Management Consolidators Worldwide, LLC (DMC). We depend on a limited number of customers for substantially all revenue to date. Failure to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments in our industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and cash flows. Gross Profit Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 26% and 21% in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Our cost of sales include the direct cost of production of the phone plus the cost of our internal production department and accrued estimated warranty costs. The primary reason for the increase in gross profit is a result of the fact that our cost of sales includes write-downs of obsolete inventory relating to the N1 phones of $565,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $0 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007. We began producing and shipping our commercially available N2 mobile phone handsets in the second half of 2007. The cost of sales for 2007 reflects the cost to produce the N2 mobile phone handsets and a limited number of N1 and N1m mobile phone handsets delivered in the first quarter of 2007. The start-up production runs of the new N2 mobile phone handsets had higher costs of production due to the price of purchasing components in lower volumes. We expect our gross profit to increase in 2008 as we begin to produce and sell our N2 mobile phone handsets in larger quantities. Our target range for gross profit is between 28% and 30% once we increase production volumes. Product Research and Development Product research and development (R&D) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $4.4 million, a 100% increase over $2.2 million for the same period ending December 31, 2006. The main factors that contributed to the increase in R&D costs are as follows: We plan to continue to increase expenditures on critical R&D projects and have planned increases in both the headcount of our engineering department and the purchase of critical design and testing technology. We have a product roadmap of future mobile phone handsets and technologies and expects to increase our R&D budgets in order to develop these products and technologies to meet market demands. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $3.1 million compared to $746,000 for the same period in 2006, an increase of 329%. The increase in 2007 over 2006 is primarily related to increases in product marketing activities such as advertising agency fees as well as an 80% increase in sales and marketing headcount . During 2007, we launched our N2 model phone handset at the 3GSM trade show in Barcelona, Spain. In addition, the sales force was strengthened for the product rollout on the European market. Sales and marketing programs are focused on design wins with new customers and, therefore, as new customer sales increase, sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase as we position the Company to take advantage of new market opportunities for our N2 and future mobile phone handsets and participate in more sales lead generation and branding initiatives, such as, industry trade events, public relations and direct marketing. Our target range for sales and marketing expense is between 12% and 15% of total sales once we increase production volumes. • an increase in the headcount of our engineering department from 10 to 14 amounting to an increase of $509,000 along with significant increases in external consultancy costs of $741,000. In 2007, in order to recruit, retain and motivate employees, we began to increase employee’s salaries to market levels. Prior to 2007, Neonode’s employee’s salaries were below market level; and • an increase in engineering expenditures in the late stage processes of bringing the N2 into commercial production amounting to $280,000. 25 General and Administrative General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $5.1 million, a 183% increase from $1.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in 2007 over 2006 is primarily related to: We expect the basic general and administrative expense to continue to increase due to increasing demands on legal, accounting, insurance and other costs, including compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley regulations, associated with being a public company as a result of the merger with SBE. However, the absence of one-time costs incurred in 2007 associated with the merger with SBE should mitigate some of this increase so that total G&A should not continue to increase at the same rate as in 2007. Interest Expense and Other Expense Interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $295,000 million as compared to $229,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The $66,000 increase is due to a combination of a increase in interest bearing debt outstanding during 2007 and an increase in the interest rate. Charges related to debt extinguishments and debt discounts Charges related to debt extinguishments and debt discounts for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 amounted to $3.9 million compared to $200,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The $3.7 million increase is due a combination of debt extinguishment costs related to the conversion of senior secured notes and bridge notes of $1.9 million, the debt discount amortization and the write-off of excess debt discounts related to the bridge notes and September 26, 2007 financing amounting to $1.6 million and $210,000 related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. Non-Cash Charges for Conversion Feature and Warrants On August 10, 2007, all the senior secured notes, loan from Petrus and Almi and accrued interest totalling $14.3 million were converted to 10,096,197 shares of our common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase 5,048,095 shares of our common stock at $2.83 per share. We computed the fair value of the conversion option related to the notes using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the day of the conversion to common stock and warrants and compared the computed fair value to the recorded value of the notes and related accrued interest. The $32.1 million in the non-cash charges for conversion feature and warrants is comprised of $35.6 million increase in the computed fair value of the embedded conversion features related to convertible debt and a $1.5 million benefit related the valuation of warrants recorded as a liability. These net charges were recorded as a non-cash valuation charge in the statements of operations pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (EITF) 03-7 , Accounting for the Settlement of the Equity-Settled Portion of a Convertible Debt Instrument that Permits or Requires the Conversion Spread to Be Settled in Stock , and APB 26, Early Extinguishment of Debt. Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 0% in the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We recorded valuation allowances in 2007 and 2006 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 • approximately $1.5 million in legal and accounting costs associated with bringing our accounting and reporting up to US GAAP standards in preparation for the merger with SBE in August 2007; and • an increase in headcount and general overhead expense including the personnel additions from the August 10, 2007 merger with SBE amounting to $1.3 million. 26 As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of $48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss available to shareholders of $5.2 million in the comparable period in 2006. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources other than the operating leases. We have no special purpose or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support; or engage in leasing, hedging, research and development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our liquidity is dependent on many factors, including sales volume, operating profit and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity will be affected by, among other things: • actual versus anticipated sales of our products; • our actual versus anticipated operating expenses; • the timing of our product shipments; • the timing of payment for our product shipments; • our actual versus anticipated gross profit margin; • our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary; and • our ability to secure credit facilities, if necessary. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm in respect of the 2007 fiscal year, included elsewhere in this annual report includes an explanatory going concern paragraph which raises substantial doubt to continue as a going concern, which indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. Although we have been able to fund our operations to date, there is no assurance that our capital raising efforts will be able to attract the additional capital or other funds needed to sustain our operations. The going concern qualification from our auditors may make it more difficult for us to raise funds. If we are unable to obtain additional funding for operations, we may not be able to continue operations as proposed, requiring us to modify our business plan, curtail various aspects of our operations or cease operations. In such event, investors may lose a portion or all of their investment. Our cash is subject to interest rate risk. We invest primarily on a short-term basis. Our financial instrument holdings at December 31, 2007 were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined by net present values. In our sensitivity analysis, the same change in interest rate was used for all maturities and all other factors were held constant. If interest rates increased by 10%, the expected effect on net loss related to our financial instruments would be immaterial. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is the applicable local currency, the Swedish krona, and is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any increase or decrease in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Swedish krona will impact Neonode’s future operating results. Certain of Neonode loans are in Swedish kronor and fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar compared to the Swedish krona will impact both the interest and future principal payments associated with these loans. In January 2008, we offered our customers a design modification for the N2 phones held in their inventory. We expect the cost of the modification program to be approximately $200,000 As part of the modification program we offered to transport the inventory to our manufacturing partner (Balda Malaysia) and provide the modifications at no cost to our customers. As a result, certain of our customers are withholding payment of amounts due us until the modifications are completed and the inventory is returned to them. At December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.8 million (with $5.7 million held as restricted cash), as compared to $369,000 at December 31, 2006. In the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007, $11.1 million of cash was used in operating activities, primarily as a result of our net loss reduced by the following non-cash items (in thousands): 27 We provided bank guaranties totaling $5.7 million as collateral for the performance of our obligations under our agreement with our manufacturing partner. The outstanding bank guaranties expired at December 29, 2007 and the funds were released by our bank to cash on January 2, 2008. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, we sold a combination of convertible notes and equity for cash totaling $17.2 million. Adjusted working capital (current assets less current liabilities not including non-cash liabilities related to warrants and embedded derivatives) was $5.8 million at December 31, 2007, compared to an adjusted working capital deficit of $5.7 million at December 31, 2006. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, we purchased $437,000 of fixed assets, consisting primarily of manufacturing tooling, computers and engineering equipment. On February 12, 2007, we completed a $5.0 million convertible senior secured note financing with interest at 4% per annum and on June 15, 2007, we completed an additional $3.0 million convertible senior secured note financing with interest at 4% per annum. On August 10, 2007, all the senior secured notes, loan from Petrus, and Almi 1 and related accrued interest totaling $14.3 million were converted to 10,096,197 shares of our common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase 5,048,095 shares of our common stock at $2.83 per share. On August 8, 2007, we completed a $3.2 million offering of convertible notes (the Bridge Notes) bearing 8% interest, due December 31, 2007, and convertible into a combination of shares of our common stock, warrants and convertible debt. We also issued an option to invest $750,000, at the same terms and conditions as the Bridge Notes, to a particular investor. On September 26, 2007, the August Bridge Notes’ maturity date was extended to June 30, 2008 and the conversion period was pushed back to no earlier than March 15, 2008 and before June 30, 2008. In consideration, we issued 219,074 additional warrants to the Bridge Note holders. On March 31, 2008, the expiration of the option was extended until June 30, 2008. On September 26, 2007, $450,000 of the $3.2 million was converted to 75,817 shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase 105,612 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share and a $227,450 promissory note under the same terms as conditions as the September 2007 private placement, described below. The note holders of the remaining $2.8 million of unconverted notes have the right to convert their notes to equity and debt securities anytime between March 15, 2008 and June 30, 2008 under the same terms as the September 26, 2007 private placement financing. On September 26, 2007, we sold $5.7 million of securities in a private placement, comprised of $2.9 million of three-year promissory notes bearing the higher of LIBOR plus 3% or 8% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 952,499 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 1,326,837 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share. During 2007 we provided bank guaranties totalling $5.7 million as collateral for the performance of our obligations under our agreement with our manufacturing partner. The outstanding bank guaranties expired at December 29, 2007 and the funds were released by our bank to cash on January 02, 2008. The cash restricted from withdrawal by our bank to secure the obligations of the bank guaranty is shown as restricted cash within current assets as of December 31, 2007. On March 4, 2008, we sold $4.5 million in securities in a private placement to accredited investors. We sold 1,800,000 shares of our common stock for $2.50 per share. After placement agent fees and offering expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $4 million. The majority of our cash for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was provided by borrowings from senior secured notes and bridge notes that have been or are convertible into shares of our common stock. Unless we are able to increase our sales to reach cash breakeven or increase our secured lines or credit or enter into new lines of credit, we may have to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of preferred stock or debt, these securities could have rights, privileges or preferences senior to those of common stock, and debt covenants could impose restrictions on our operations. The sale of equity or debt could result in additional dilution to current stockholders, and such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Index to the Financial Statements Page Financial Statements Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 30 Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2007 and 2006 31 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 32 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 33 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 34 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 35 Financial Statement Schedule Schedule II — Valuation and Qualifying Accounts 61 29 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Board of Directors and Stockholders Neonode Inc. Stockholm, Sweden We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Neonode Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited the schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neonode Inc. at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As discussed in Note 2, to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Liquidity section of Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has a working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome from this uncertainty.

Nature of the business and operations Neonode Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2006 as the parent of Neonode AB, a company founded in February 2004 and incorporated in Sweden. In February 2004, Neonode AB acquired the assets, including intangible assets, relating to the current business, in exchange for cash of $168,000 and the assumption of a loan of $141,000. The Company allocated the consideration to intangible assets in the amount of $284,000 and to equipment in the amount of $25,000 based on relative fair values. In February, 2006, a corporate reorganization was effected by issuing all of the shares of Neonode Inc. to the stockholders of Neonode AB based upon the number and class of shares owned by each in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of Neonode AB. Following the reorganization, Neonode AB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neonode Inc. The reorganization was accounted for with no change in accounting basis for Neonode AB, since there was no change in control of the Group. The consolidated accounts comprise the accounts of the Companies as if they had been owned by the Company throughout the entire reporting period. In connection with the reorganization, the Company commenced borrowing from a group of new investors. Our business focus is a combination of licensing our touchscreen technology to other companies and developing and selling our own products using our technology in mobile device markets. We design, develop and sell multimedia mobile phones with a focus on unique design and user experience. Our first model, the N1, was released in November 2004. Our next generation multimedia mobile phone, the Neonode N2, was launched in February 2007 with first customer shipments of the phone mid-July 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, our customers are primarily located in 13 Europe and India regions. Liquidity The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have incurred net operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. As of December 31, 2007, we had an accumulated deficit of $58.7 million and adjusted working capital (current assets less current liabilities not including non-cash liabilities related to warrants and embedded derivatives) of $5.8 million. Our operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of operations. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, technical and quality problems in new products, ability to raise additional funds, credit risks and costs for developing new products. The ability to generate revenues in the future will depend substantially on success of resolving quality problems, raising additional funds through debt or equity, and entering customer contracts with customers that are financially stable. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to secure additional funding and stockholders, if required, do not approve such financing, we would have to curtail certain expenditures which we consider necessary for optimizing the probability of success of developing new products and executing on our business plan. If we are unable to obtain additional funding for operations, we may not be able to continue operations as proposed, requiring us to modify our business plan, curtail various aspects of our operations or cease operations. In March 2008, we completed a private placement offering of $4.5 million of our common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recovery of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Merger On August 10, 2007, SBE announced the completion of the previously announced merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cold Winter Acquisition Corporation, with and into Neonode Inc., pursuant to which Neonode changed its name to “Cold Winter, Inc.” and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Following the closing of the merger transaction, the company was renamed “Neonode Inc.” The newly-combined company's headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden. SBE issued approximately 20.4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for 5.8 million outstanding shares of Neonode Inc. common stock and the assumption of outstanding options and warrants to purchase an additional 7.9 million shares of Neonode Inc. common stock. The Company’s common stock started trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 13, 2007 under the new ticker symbol “NEON.” 35 For accounting purposes, the merger is considered a recapitalization of Neonode with the issuance of stock for cash, other assets and the assumption of liabilities by Neonode under which Neonode is considered to be acquiring SBE. Accordingly, the fair value of the assets and liabilities of SBE are combined with Neonode as of August 10, 2007 while the historical results of Neonode are reflected in the results of the combined company. The consolidated financial statements include SBE’s operations from August 10, 2007. Neonode shareholders exchanged each share of Neonode common stock for 3.5319 shares of SBE common stock (exchange ratio) in the recapitalization. Each Neonode warrant and stock option that was outstanding on the closing date has been converted into SBE warrants and stock options by multiplying the Neonode stock options by the same exchange ratio described above. The new exercise price was also determined by dividing the old exercise price by the same exchange ratio. Each of these warrants and options is subject to the same terms and conditions that were in effect for the related Neonode warrants and options. Neonode stockholders and employees own approximately 28.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock or instruments convertible into common stock, or 90.6% of the fully diluted capitalization, including warrants and options, of the combined company. The following table is the number of shares of common stock, warrants and stock options outstanding immediately following the consummation of the merger, on August 10, 2007: Adjustment to Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding The number of shares of Neonode common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2006 and presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets has been adjusted to reflect the number of shares of SBE, Inc. issued to Neonode shareholders in conjunction with the recapitalization that culminated on August 10, 2007. Neonode Shareholders exchanged each share of Neonode common stock for 3.5319 shares of SBE common stock (exchange ratio). 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its subsidiary based in Sweden, Neonode AB. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Please refer to the Merger section above for description of our reverse merger with SBE, Inc. that was completed on August 10, 2007. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires making estimates and assumptions that affect, at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include but are not limited to collectibility of accounts receivable, carrying value of inventory, estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, recoverable amounts and fair values of intangible assets, and the fair value of securities such as options and warrants issued for stock-based compensation and in certain financing transactions. On August 10, 2007 SBE Neonode Total Common Stock 2,295,529 20,378,251 22,673,780 Warrants to purchase common stock 232,000 5,965,397 6,197,397 Employee stock options 437,808 2,117,332 2,555,140 Total 2,965,337 28,460,980 31,426,317 December 31, 2006 Historical shares of common stock outstanding 2,911,217 Adjusted shares of common stock outstanding 10,282,127 36 Cash We have not had any liquid investments other than normal cash deposits with bank institutions to date. Restricted Cash We have provided bank guaranties totalling $5.7 million as collateral for the performance of our obligations under our agreement with our manufacturing partner. The outstanding bank guaranties expired at December 29, 2007 and the funds were released by our bank to cash on January 02, 2008. The cash restricted from withdrawal by our bank to secure the obligations of the bank guaranty is shown as restricted cash within current assets. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our net 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 their credit limits. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, we initiates dialogue with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting their business, we record a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount we expect to recover. Should all efforts fail to recover the related receivable, we will write-off the account. We also record an allowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method, or market. Our policy is to establish inventory reserves when conditions exist that suggest that our inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon our assumptions about future demand for our products and market conditions. Machinery and Equipment Machinery 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 ranging from one to five years as follows: Equipment purchased under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation on such assets are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in the statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consists of patents, with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is generally five years for our patents. Estimated useful lives Tooling 1 year Computer equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years 37 Long-lived Assets We assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . If the estimated undiscounted cash flow related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of these assets. The impairment is based on the estimated discounted cash flow associated with the asset. To date, we have not had any impairment of long-lived assets. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary is the applicable local currency, the Swedish krona. The translation from Swedish krona 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. Gains or losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other income (expense). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses which are included in other income and (expense) were $362,000 and $265,000 during the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Liability for Warrants and Embedded Derivatives We do not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, we enter into contracts that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety but that include embedded derivative features. Such embedded derivatives are assessed at inception of the contract and every reporting period, depending on their characteristics, are accounted for as separate derivative financial instruments pursuant to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , as amended (together, SFAS 133), if such embedded conversion features, if freestanding, would meet the classification of a liability. SFAS 133 requires that we analyze all material contracts and determine whether or not they contain embedded derivatives. Any such embedded conversion features that meet the above criteria are then bifurcated from their host contract and recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations as an increase or decrease to Non-cash charges for conversion features and warrants. Similarly, if warrants meet the classification of liabilities in accordance with EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock , then the fair value of the warrants are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair values, and any changes in such fair values are recorded each period in the consolidated statements of operations as an increase or decrease to Non-cash charges for conversion features and warrants. Revenue Recognition Our policy is to recognize revenue for product sales when title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of products to our customers. We estimate expected sales returns and record the amount as a reduction of revenues and cost of sales at the time of shipment. Our policy complies with the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We recognize revenue from the sale of our mobile phones when all of the following conditions have been met: (1) evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our products have been delivered and risk of loss has passed to the customer; (3) we have completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue to which we are entitled is fixed or determinable; and (5) we believe it is probable that we will be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or more of these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized until we have determined that collectibility is reasonably assured. To date, our revenues have consisted primarily to distributors located in various 13 regions. We may allow, from time to time, certain distributors price protection subsequent to the initial product shipment. P rice protection may allow the distributor a credit (either in cash or as a discount on future purchases) if there is a price decrease during a specified period of time or until the distributor resells the goods. Future price adjustments are difficult to estimate since we do not have sufficient history of making price adjustments. We, therefore, defer recognition of revenue (in the balance sheet line item “deferred revenue”) derived from sales to these customers until they have resold our products to their customers. Although revenue recognition and related cost of sales are deferred, we record an accounts receivable at the time of initial product shipment. As standard terms are generally FOB shipping point, payment terms are enforced from shipment date and legal title and risk of inventory loss passes to the distributor upon shipment. 38 For products sold to distributors with agreements allowing for price protection and product returns, we recognize revenue based on our best estimate of when the distributor sold the product to its end customer. Our estimate of such distributor sell-through is based on information received from our distributors. Revenue is not recognized upon shipment since, due to various forms of price concessions, the sales price is not substantially fixed or determinable at that time. Revenue from products sold directly to end-users though our web sales channels is generally recognized when title and risk of loss has passed to the buyer, which typically occurs upon shipment. Reserves for sales returns are estimated based primarily on historical experience and are provided at the time of shipment. We derive revenue from license of our 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 will 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 sale 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. Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 includes revenue from the sales of the N1 and N2 multimedia mobile phones and revenue from a licensing agreement with a major Asian manufacturer. In July 2005, we entered into a licensing agreement with a major Asian manufacturer whereby we licensed our touchscreen technology for use in a mobile phone to be included in their product assortment. In this agreement, we received approximately $2.0 million in return for granting an exclusive right to use our touchscreen technology over a two year period. Another component of the agreement provides for a fee of approximately $2.65 per telephone if the Asian manufacture sells mobile phones based on our technology. In July 2007, we extended this license agreement on a non-exclusive basis for an additional term of one year. As of March 31, 2008, the Asian manufacturer had not sold any mobile telephones using our technology. The net revenue related to this agreement has been allocated over the term of the agreement, amounting to $463,000 in 2007 and $851,000 in 2006, respectively. The contract also includes consulting services to be provided by Neonode on an “as needed basis”. The fees for these consultancy services vary from hourly rates to monthly rates and are based on reasonable market rates for such services. To date, we have not provided any consulting service related to this agreement. Generally, our customers are responsible for the payment of all shipping and handling charges directly with the freight carriers. Warranty Reserve Our products are generally warranted against defects for twelve months following the sale. We have a twelve month warranty from the manufacturer of the mobile phones. Reserves for potential warranty claims not covered by the manufacturer are provided at the time of revenue recognition and are based on several factors, including current sales levels and an estimate of repair costs. Shipping and handling charges are expensed as incurred. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. External advertising costs amounted to $661,000 and $157,000 for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Research and Development Research and Development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs consists mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some external consultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable with customers. Since we are in the process of getting our product to market, our first customers will comprise over 15 percent of revenue and we will need to rely on a smaller customer base as we grow. In addition, we usually sell to customers with either prepayment, letter of credit or bank guarantees. Our customers are generally distributors of telecommunications equipment. We will maintain allowances for potential credit losses, if necessary. 39 Risk and Uncertainties Our long-term success is dependent on obtaining sufficient capital to fund our operations and development of our products, bringing such products to the worldwide market, and obtaining sufficient sales volume to be profitable. To achieve these objectives, we will be required to raise additional capital through public or private financings or other arrangements. It cannot be assured that such financings will be available on terms attractive to us, if at all. Such financings may be dilutive to our stockholders and may contain restrictive covenants. We are subject to certain risks common to technology-based companies in similar stages of development. Principal risks include uncertainty of growth in market acceptance for our products; history of losses since inception, ability to remain competitive in response to new technologies, costs to defend, as well as risks of losing patent and intellectual property rights, reliance on limited number of suppliers, reliance on outsourced manufacture of our products for quality control and product availability, ability to increase production capacity to meet demand for our products, concentration of our operations in a limited number of facilities, uncertainty of demand for our products in certain markets, ability to manage growth effectively, dependence on key members of our management and development team, limited experience in conducting operations internationally, and ability to obtain adequate capital to fund future operations. Since we are in the process of launching a new generation of our product, the first customers may comprise over 15 percent of revenue and we will need to rely on a smaller customer base as we grow. In addition we will produce telephones through an agreement with a production partner. This exposes us to the risk that the partner may not fulfil contracted volumes or deliveries. Even the sources of components used in our product could cause delays in production and deliveries. We are exposed to a number of economic and industry factors that could result in portions of our inventory becoming either obsolete or in excess of anticipated usage, or subject to lower of cost or market issues. These factors include, but are not limited to, technological changes in our markets, our ability to meet changing customer requirements, competitive pressures in products and prices, and the availability of key components from our suppliers. A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (the currency in which its financial statements are reported), primarily the Swedish krona and, to a lesser extent, the Euro. We incur a significant portion of our expenses in Swedish kronor, including a significant portion of our product development expense and a substantial portion of our general and administrative expenses. As a result, appreciation of the value of the Swedish krona relative to the other currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, could adversely affect operating results. We do not currently undertake hedging transactions to cover our currency exposure, but we may choose to hedge a portion of our currency exposure in the future as it deems appropriate. Our future success depends on market acceptance of our products as well as our ability to introduce new versions of our products to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Stock Based Compensation Expense Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R, which establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services , primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share based payment transactions. SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including share options, based on the fair value of the award on the grant date, and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R supersedes our previous accounting under APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related interpretations for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 relating to SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method as permitted under SFAS 123R. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portions of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, we used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB 25 and thus recognized no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. 40 We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services , which require that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value and the unvested portion is re-measured each reporting period. When determining stock based compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Accounting for Debt Issued with Detachable Stock Purchase Warrants We account for debt issued with stock purchase warrants in accordance with APB opinion 14, Accounting for Convertible Debts and Debts issued with Stock Purchase Warrants , if such warrants meet equity classification. We allocate the proceeds of the debt between the debt and the detachable warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants themselves, if the warrants are equity instruments. Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. We estimate income taxes based on rates in effect in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about future taxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred tax assets where, in our opinion, realization is uncertain based on the “not more likely than not” criteria of SFAS 109. Based on the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such a determination was made. The provision for income taxes represents the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus income taxes payable for the current period. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes , which provisions included a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore upon implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of December 31, 2007, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share amounts have been computed in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share . For each of the periods presented, basic loss per share amounts were 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, are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted average numbers of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, excluded the potential common stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Comprehensive Loss We apply SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income , which establishes standards for reporting and displaying all changes in equity other than transaction with owners in their capacity as owners. Our comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation gains and losses reflected in equity. We have reported the components of comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. 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 was 6.759 and 7.377 Swedish Krona to one U.S. Dollar for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The weighted average exchange rate for the consolidated Balance Sheets was 6.4675 and 6.8725 Swedish Krona to one U.S. Dollar as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 41 Fair Value of Financial Instruments We disclose the estimated fair values for all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables and current portions of long-term debt are deemed to approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations are also deemed to approximate their fair values. Since no quoted market prices exist for certain of our financial instruments, the fair values of such instruments have been derived based on our assumptions, the estimated amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates. Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements The following are expected effects of recent accounting pronouncements. We are required to analyze these pronouncements and determined the effect, if any, the adoption of these pronouncements would have on our results of operations or financial position. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after 15 December 2008, and will be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2009. We do not believe that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements . The standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The statement is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2009. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP SFAS 157-2) that deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. We have not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on our results of operations or financial position. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilitie s-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement 115, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value has been elected will be reported in earnings. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests in partially owned subsidiaries. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 , as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. . We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact on our financial position, and we will make all necessary disclosures upon adoption, if applicable. 42 3. Inventories At December 31, 2007 and 2006, inventories consisted of parts, materials and finished products as follows (in thousands): Parts and materials consist of components purchased by us in order to reduce the production lead time of our products. Finished products consist of N1 phones and accessories located at our manufacturing partner or with our web sales partner. Finished goods held at customer locations consists of N2 phones that have been shipped to distributors but remain in their inventories at the end of the period for which revenue has been deferred. During 2006 we took write-down charges of $565,000 related to components and spare parts of the N1 phones. In 2006 management made a decision to stop further production of the N1 phone and deemed the component and spare parts inventories not to be of any use in the coming production of the N2 mobile phone. 4. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses consist of the following (in thousands): The prepayment to supplier is to our production partner and is for the sourcing of component inventories relating to the new N2 mobile telephone launched in 2007. The deferred financing fees consist of legal fees, advisor fees and the value of detachable warrants issued to advisors relating to the issuance of debt financing. 5. Other Current Assets Other current assets consist of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2007 2006 Parts and materials $ 247 $ - Finished products 1,243 - Finished goods held at Balda 5,120 - Total inventories $ 6,610 $ - December 31, 2007 2006 Prepayment to supplier $ - $ 350 Deferred financing fees 819 149 Prepaid rent 87 83 Prepaid interest 70 - Prepaid insurance 16 - Other 89 39 Total prepaid expenses $ 1,081 $ 621 December31, 2007 2006 Value added tax receivable $ - $ 116 Receivable from Balda for components 648 1 Other 2 - Total other current assets $ 650 $ 117 43 6. Machinery and Equipment Machinery and equipment consists of the following (in thousands): 7. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands): We have not recorded any further investment in our patents since 2004. The change in the carrying value of intangibles is due to balance sheet currency fluctuations between the U.S. Dollar and the Swedish krona (SEK), since the patents are held by the Swedish subsidiary with a functional currency in SEK. The amortization of patents for future years, 2008 and 2009 is estimated at approximately $71,000, and $24,000, respectively. 8. Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands): For a description of the legal settlement see note 18. December 31, 2007 2006 Tooling $ 341 $ - Furniture and equipment 102 31 Computers 228 93 less accumulated depreciation (296 ) (59 ) Machinery and equipment, net $ 375 $ 65 Depreciation expense $ 231 $ 29 December 31, 2007 2006 Patents $ 349 $ 328 less accumulated amortization (254 ) (173 ) Patents, net $ 95 $ 155 Amortization expense $ 67 $ 61 December 31, 2007 2006 Legal settlement $ - $ 291 Earned salary, vacation and benefits 359 164 Accrued pension premiums 233 21 Accrued Interest expense 106 161 Accrued legal, audit and consulting fees 425 255 Other costs 268 1 Total accrued expenses $ 1,391 $ 893 44 9. Other Liabilities Other liabilities consist of the following (in thousands): 10. Deferred Revenue We may allow, from time to time, certain distributors price protection and pricing adjustments subsequent to the initial product shipment. Since we only recently began shipping products, any future price concessions are difficult to reliably estimate. Therefore, we defer recognition of revenue (in the balance sheet line item “deferred revenue”) derived from sales to these customers until they have resold our products to their customers or the price protection period ends. Although revenue recognition and related cost of sales are deferred, we record an accounts receivable at the time of initial product shipment. As standard terms are generally FOB shipping point, payment terms are enforced from shipment date and legal title and risk of inventory loss passes to the distributor upon shipment. In addition, where revenue is deferred upon shipment and recognized on a sell-through basis, we may offer price adjustments to our distributors to allow the distributor to price our products competitively for specific resale opportunities. As of December 31, 2007, we have $3.0 million of deferred revenue that will be recognized as our customers sell our products and the applicable price protection ends. 11. Liability for Warrants and Embedded Derivatives (in thousands): 12. Convertible Debt and Notes Payable Our convertible debt and notes payable consists of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2007 2006 VAT payable $ 187 $ - Customer pre-payments - 145 Warranty reserve 92 - Employee withholding taxes 111 65 Social security fees 160 52 Accrued liability to suppliers 120 - Other 4 51 Total other liabilities $ 674 $ 313 December 31, 2007 2006 Liability for warrants to purchase common stock $ 5,971 $ - Embedded derivative of convertible debt $ 3,536 $ 124 December 31, 2007 2006 Senior Convertible Secured Notes August (face value $2,800) $ 2,634 $ - Pre-merger Convertible Secured Notes (face value $5,000) - 5,000 Senior Convertible Secured Notes September (face value $3,085) 1,112 - Pre-merger Convertible Loan - Petrus Holding SA - 780 Loan - Almi Företagspartner 2 120 201 Pre-merger Convertible Loan - Almi Företagspartner 1 - 94 Capital lease 72 5 Total fair value of notes outstanding 3,938 6,080 Unamortized debt discount 3,746 114 Total debt, net of debt discount 192 5,966 Less: short-term portion of long-term debt 132 5,112 Long-term debt $ 60 $ 854 45 Future maturities of notes payable (in thousands): The short-term portion of the unamortized debt discounts amounts to $2.6 million. Future lease payments related to capital leases are as follows (in thousands): Pre-Merger Notes Convertible Loan Agreement - Petrus Holding SA (Petrus) On December 22, 2004, Neonode AB entered into a Loan agreement with Petrus, a company incorporated under the laws of Luxemburg. The funds under this loan agreement were received in January 2005. In this loan arrangement, Petrus granted a loan denominated in Swedish krona (SEK) amounting to SEK 5,000,000, or approximately $758,000 U.S. Dollars, to Neonode AB at an interest rate of 5% per annum. The loan shall be repaid no later than December 22, 2009. The Petrus loan is subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of Neonode to Almi Företagspartner Stockholm AB.

The credit period for the loan is expected to be 44 months starting April 29, 2004 with an annualized interest rate of 9.75%. Neonode was not required to make any repayments of principle for the first 14 months, after which the loan should be repaid with quarterly principle payments of SEK 91,000. or approximately $12,400 U.S. Dollars. We have the right to redeem the loan at any time prior to expiration subject to a prepayment penalty of $14,000. A floating charge (chattel mortgage) of SEK 1,000,000, or approximately $136,000 U.S. Dollars, is pledged as security. Almi 2 On April 6, 2005, Neonode AB entered into a second loan agreement with Almi in the amount of SEK 2,000,000, or approximately $257,000 U.S. Dollars, with 40,000 detachable warrants in Neonode AB (corresponding to 72,000 warrants when converted into Neonode Inc. shares). The loan has an expected credit period of 48 months with an annualized interest rate of 2%. We were not required to make any repayments of principle for the first nine months. Quarterly repayments of principle thereafter amounted to SEK 154,000, or approximately $19,800 U.S. Dollars. We have the right to redeem the loan at any time prior to expiration subject to a prepayment penalty of 1%, on an annualized basis, of the outstanding principle amount over the remaining term of the loan. A floating charge (chattel mortgage) of SEK 2,000,000, or approximately $257,000 U.S. Dollars, is pledged as security. The warrants have a term of five years with a strike price of $10.00. The warrants may be called by us for $0.10 should the price of the Company's common stock trade over $12.50 on a public exchange for 20 consecutive days. The warrants were analyzed under EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock , and were determined to be equity instruments. In accordance with APB 14, because the warrants are equity instruments, we have allocated the proceeds of the second Almi loan between the debt and detachable warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt security without the warrants and the warrants themselves. To calculate the debt discount related to the warrants, the fair market value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of five years, volatility of 30% and interest rate of 4.50%.The aggregate debt discount amounted to $42,000 and was amortized over the expected term of the loan agreement. Convertible Senior Secured Notes On February 28, 2006, we commenced borrowing from a new group of investors (AIGH). The senior secured notes issued under the note purchase agreement bear interest at 4% and have a maturity date of August 28, 2007. At December 31, 2006, we had drawn down $5.0 million ($4.0 million in February 2006 and an additional $1.0 million in November 2006) out of the total amount of $5.5 million available. The senior secured notes were collateralized by the common stock shares of Neonode AB and are subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of Neonode AB to Almi. In addition, our Board of Directors Chairman and two founders, Per Bystedt, Thomas Ericsson and Magnus Goertz pledged their beneficial holdings in Neonode Inc. as collateral for the senior secured notes. The senior secured notes were convertible under three scenarios: (i) In the event of a successful initial public offering on or before August 28, 2007, the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, including without limitation all accrued interest and other obligations under the notes, shall automatically convert without any action of the holder into units in the Company at a price of $5 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Company common stock and 0.5 five-year warrant, each exercisable to purchase one share at $10 per share. These warrants may be called by us for $0.10 should the price of the Company’s common stock trade over $12.50 on a public exchange for 20 consecutive days. (ii) The Convertible Senior Secured Notes may be prepaid without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, on 20 days notice; provided that the bridge note investors shall have the opportunity, prior to such prepayment, to convert the amounts borrowed under the bridge notes into common stock of the Company at a ratio equal to the outstanding debt and interest divided by $5. (iii) In the event that we fail to complete a registered public offering with gross proceeds in excess of $5,500,000 by August 28, 2007, the Convertible Senior Secured Notes shall be converted into common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the fair market value of such shares as determined by negotiation. The number of shares to be issued as a result of such a negotiation cannot be less than the amounts borrowed including accrued interest under the bridge notes divided by $5. Derivatives 47 The senior secured notes issued on February 28, 2006 and November 20, 2006 contained an embedded derivative instrument (conversion feature) with three triggers. Pursuant to SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, this conversion feature was considered an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the debt host, and is included in “Embedded derivates of convertible debt” at fair value each reporting period. This was because there were an indeterminable number of shares the senior secured notes could convert into, and the embedded conversion feature met a definition of a derivative. If the feature was freestanding, it would meet the definition of a liability. Accordingly, bifurcation was required from the debt host instrument. At the time of issuance of the $4.0 million senior secured notes on February 28, 2006, the fair value of the conversion feature was $125,000, which was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the senior secured notes. An additional $24,000 was added to the fair value of the conversion feature on November 20, 2006 upon issuance of an additional $1.0 million in senior secured notes. Changes in the fair value of the conversion feature are recorded in “Non-cash charges for conversion features and warrants.” During 2006, we recorded $72,000 of interest expense associated with the amortization of the debt discount along with a reduction of $25,000 associated with the changes in the fair value of the conversion feature liability. Debt Modifications In March 2006 the Almi 1 loan with an outstanding balance of SEK 646,000, approximately $83,000 U.S. Dollars, was amended to provide for conversion rights as defined in the provisions for the senior secured notes as described in (i) above under the Convertible Senior Secured Notes and a waiver of further principle payments until the conversion date. In addition, the Almi 2 loan was amended to state that in the event the related 40,000 warrants are called by Neonode Inc., Almi is entitled to make payment for the securities issued by reducing the par value of the outstanding balance of the Almi 2 loan. For accounting purposes, the change in terms was accounted for as a modification of the Almi 1 loan. On October 26, 2006 the Petrus loan agreement was amended to include accrued interest to May 31, 2006 in the loan amount, which increased the loan amount to SEK 5,353,000, approximately $758,000 U.S. Dollars, and instated the same conversion rights as the senior secured notes as defined under scenario (i) above. For accounting purposes, the change in terms was accounted for as a modification. Additional Issuances of Convertible Senior Secured Notes In February 2007, we completed an additional $5.0 million convertible senior secured note financing. The note bears interest at 4% per annum and has a maturity date of September 30, 2007. The terms and conditions of these notes are substantially the same as for the existing senior secured notes, as amended on January 19, 2007. Pursuant to SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, the conversion feature valued at $135,000 was considered an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the debt host, and is included in “Embedded derivatives of convertible debt” at fair value each reporting period. Prior to the consummation of the merger, the related debt discount was amortized to interest expense and the loan was converted on August 10, 2007. On May 18, 2007, the maturity date for all outstanding senior secured notes was extended from September 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007. All other terms remained the same. For accounting purposes, the change in terms was accounted for as a modification of the debt in accordance with EITF 96-19. On June 15, 2007, we completed an additional $3.0 million convertible senior secured note financing. The note bears interest at 4% per annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2007. The terms and conditions of these notes are substantially the same terms and conditions as the existing senior secured notes. Pursuant to SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, this conversion feature amounting to $114,000 was considered an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation from the debt host, and is included in “Embedded derivatives of convertible debt” at fair value each reporting period. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense. Prior to the consummation of the merger, the loan was converted on August 10, 2007. Conversion of Outstanding Pre-Merger Convertible Debt On August 10, 2007, just prior to the consummation of the reverse merger, all the above convertible debt and accrued interest were converted to 2,858,574 shares of Neonode Inc. common stock and warrants to purchase 1,429,286 shares of Neonode Inc. common stock. Immediately prior to the conversion of the pre-merger convertible debt, the embedded conversion feature of such convertible debt became much more valuable, due to the fact that a reverse merger with SBE was imminent. 48 Immediately prior to the conversion, we determined the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of these notes and loans to be $35.6 million, using SBE’s share price as of August 10, 2007. The expense associated with the valuation of the embedded conversion feature was the result of the fixed exchange ratio of pre-merger Neonode common stock to that of SBE common stock. The change in the fair value of the loan conversion feature was recorded as a non-cash valuation charge in the statement of operations. We then compared the total value of the common stock and warrants to be issued upon conversion to the book value of the loans and the updated fair value of the related conversion feature, resulting in a non-cash charge of $376,000. The fair value of the common stock issued upon conversion amounted to $49.5 million and was recorded under stockholders equity. The fair value of the detachable warrants issued upon conversion amounted to $404,000, which was computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The warrants were classified as a liability in accordance in EITF 00-19, as the warrants met the liability classification due to the underlying shares required to be registered and maintained effectiveness without any penalties to the Company. Maintaining effectiveness is not within our control, and accordingly, the warrants were classified as a liability. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of five years, volatility of 116% and interest rate of 4.20%. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2007, non-cash charges amounting $32.1 million were recorded to the statement of operations relating the changes in valuations of the above conversion feature. The conversion of the notes were accounted for using extinguishment accounting based on the guidance in APB 26, Early Extinguishment of Debt. To account for the conversion of the senior secured notes when an embedded conversion feature has been bifurcated as a liability, the following steps were taken: The extinguishment accounting of the conversion of the senior secured notes resulted in a charge totaling $376,000, which is included “Charges related debt extinguishments and debt discounts.” The securities issued in the merger have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. On August 10, 2007, in conjunction with the reverse merger with SBE accounted for as a recapitalization, all the pre-merger Neonode Inc. common stock and warrants was exchanged into 10,096,197 shares of our (SBE) common stock and warrants to purchase 5,048,095 shares of our (SBE) common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.83 per share and expire on August 10, 2012. The warrants may be called by us for $0.10 should the price of the Company's common stock trade over $3.54 on a public exchange for 20 consecutive days. Senior Convertible August Bridge Notes On August 8, 2007, we made an offering of convertible notes pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement (August Bridge Notes or Bridge Notes), dated as of July 31, 2007, amended August 1, 2007 and September 26, 2007. We received $3,250,000 from the Bridge Note offering and issued an option to invest $750,000, at the same terms and conditions as the Bridge Notes, to one of the Bridge Note investors/financial advisor as part of a longer range financing plan. The August Bridge Notes and the option to invest $750,000 expires on June 30, 2008. The fair value of the $750,000 option to invest at a future date was $716,000 as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of issue. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.39 years, volatility of 99% and interest rate of 4.16%. The fair value was recorded as a deferred financing fee to be allocated to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the nine month term of the notes with the offset recorded as other current liability. At December 31, 2007, this option was extended to March 31, 2008 as part of debt negotiations in a private placement that closed in March 2008. On March, 31, 2008, the expiration of the option was extended until June 30, 2008. The value of the extension of this option was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amounted to $474,000. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.39 years, volatility of 33% and interest rate of 4.16%. The $474,000 warrants were recorded as a liability with the corresponding amount recorded as a deferred financing fee, which is being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the August Bridge Notes. Such warrants met the liability classification—see below. • Update the valuation of the bifurcated derivative to the legal conversion date (August 10, 2007). • Adjust the carrying value of the host debt instrument to reflect accretion of any premium or discount on the host debt instrument up to the date of legal conversion (August 10, 2007). • Amortize debt issue costs to the date of legal conversion (August 10, 2007). • Ensure that the book basis in the host debt instrument considered all components of book value, including the unamortized portion of any premiums or discounts on the debt host recorded as an adjustment to the debt host and any unamortized debt issue costs recorded as deferred charges. • Calculate the difference between the re-acquisition price and net carrying amount of the debt by comparing the fair value of the securities (warrants and common stock) issued upon conversion to the updated net carrying value of the sum of the bifurcated embedded derivative liability and the debt host. Record any difference as an extinguishment gain or loss in the income statement and statement of cash flows. 49 The Bridge Notes were convertible into the same rights and terms of any future financing occurring by December 31, 2007, if such financing was greater than $5 million. On September 26, 2007, we sold $5.7 million of securities (see next section). As a result, all Bridge Notes became convertible into September 26, 2007 units which consist of common stock, warrants and convertible debt. On September 26, 2007, certain holders of the Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $454,900 of debt and accrued interest. The conversion was accounted for as an extinguishment as described above and resulted in a charge amounting to $608,000. We converted these Bridge Notes into the following components based on their fair values at conversion: We registered these shares related to the September 26, 2007 conversion pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective on December 3, 2007. The remaining $2.8 million of Bridge Notes, after the September 26, 2007 conversion, are due June 30, 2008, bear 8% per annum interest and are convertible into purchase units that are made up of a combination of shares of our common stock, debt and warrants. The note holders have a right to convert their notes anytime before June 30, 2008 into a total of 933.33 purchase units. Each purchase unit of $3,000 is comprised of one $1,500 three-year promissory note bearing the higher of LIBOR plus 3% or 8% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 600 shares of our common stock and 5 year warrants to purchase 696.5 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share. For accounting purposes the embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a derivative, and if freestanding, was a liability. This was because the holder of the notes could convert debt and accrued interest, where interest is at the greater of 8% or LIBOR plus 3%, and therefore, total number of shares the instrument could be convertible into were not fixed. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated from the debt host instrument and booked as a liability, pursuant to the guidance in SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, with the offset to debt discount. The related warrants were also recorded as a liability, due to the same reason. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature related to the Bridge Notes was calculated at September 26, 2007 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amounted to $3.3 million. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.76 years, volatility of 99% and interest rate of 4.16%. The $3.3 million was recorded as “Embedded derivatives of convertible debt” and a debt discount. The debt discount exceeded the amount of recorded debt, which resulted in a charge of $654,000 for the difference between the debt discount and the value of the debt. The remaining debt discount balance is allocated to interest expense based on the effective interest rate method, with such interest rate of 7,330%, over the nine-month term of the notes. The value of the embedded conversion feature is revalued at each period-end and the liability is adjusted with the offset recorded as “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” The liability of the embedded conversion feature amounted to $2.1 million at December 31, 2007 which is a decrease of $1.2 million from September 30, 2007. Simultaneously with the conversion, in exchange for three year warrants to purchase up to 219,074 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share, the holders of the remaining $2.8 million of unconverted Bridge Notes agreed to extend the term of their notes from December 31, 2007 until June 30, 2008. In addition, the Bridge Note holders agreed to delay the right to convert their Bridge Notes until after March 15, 2008 and until June 30, 2008. The fair value of the warrants issued to the holders of the $2.8 million of Bridge Note was calculated at September 26, 2007 as $706,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These warrants were also classified as a liability due to the same reason as above. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.76 years, volatility of 116% and interest rate of 4.16%. As a result of the extension of the loan maturity period, the agreement to delay conversion of the bridge notes and the issuance of additional warrants, the modifications were significant enough to trigger debt extinguishment accounting resulting in a debt extinguishment charge amounting to $540,000.The fair value was recorded as a debt issuance cost to be allocated to interest expense based on the effective interest rate method over the nine month term of the notes with the offsetting entry to a liability. The liability is revalued at each period-end and the change in the liability is recorded as “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” The revalued liability amounted to $608,000 at December 31, 2007 resulting in an decrease from September 30, 2007 in “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants” of $98,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007. • $227,450 three-year promissory notes bearing the higher of LIBOR plus 3% or 8% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, • 75,817 shares of our common stock, • 5 year warrants to purchase 105,612 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share. • The fair value of the 5 year warrants totaled $340,000 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 5 years, volatility of 33% and interest rate of 4.2%. The warrants are recorded as other current liability ( see below) and will be fair valued at each period end as long as they are outstanding; and, • The fair value of the embedded conversion feature related to the convertible notes amounting to $152,000, was bifurcated from the host instrument (see below) and was recorded as “Embedded derivatives of convertible debt” and a debt discount. 50 September 2007 Financing Transaction (Senior Convertible September Secured Notes) On September 26, 2007, we sold $5.7 million of securities in a private placement, comprised of $2.9 million of three-year promissory notes bearing the higher of LIBOR plus 3% or 8% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 952,499 shares of our common stock, and 5 year warrants to purchase 1,326,837 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.92 per share. The embedded conversion feature in the debt host met the definition of a derivative and liability classification in accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. This was because the holder of the notes could convertible debt and accrued interest, where interest is at the greater of 8% or LIBOR plus 3%, and therefore, total number of shares the instrument could be convertible into were not fixed. Accordingly, t the embedded conversion features are revalued on each balance sheet date and marked to market with the adjusting entry to “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” We allocated the proceeds first to the warrants based on their fair value with the remaining balance allocated between debt, $771,000, and equity, $669,000, based on their relative fair values. The warrants met the definition of a liability for the same reason as the embedded conversion feature described above. The fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with issuance of shares of our common stock and convertible debt totaled $4.3 million on its issue date and was recorded as a liability pursuant to the provisions of EITF No. 00-19 . The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 5 years, volatility of 33% and interest rate of 4.2%. The value of these warrants at December 31, 2007 decreased to $3.7 million and the offsetting amount of $593,000 was recorded in “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” The fair value of the conversion feature related to the September 26, 2007 convertible notes totaled $1.9 million at September 26, 2007. The debt discount exceeded the amount allocated to the debt, including $227,000 from conversion of Bridge Notes, which resulted in a charge of $902,000 for the difference between the debt discount and the value of the debt. The fair value was recorded as a debt discount and is allocated to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the three year term of the notes. The liability of the embedded conversion feature decreased to $1.4 million at December 31, 2007 with the offset of $470,000 recorded in “Non-cash charges for conversion features and warrants.” As part of the September 2007 Private Placement, we incurred cash and non-cash transaction expenses amounting to $1.2 million. Empire Asset Management Company (Empire) acted as financial advisor in the private placement. We agreed to pay Empire a fee of $479,000 in cash and issue 142.875 unit purchase warrants. Each unit purchase warrant has a strike price of $3,250 and is comprised of a $1,500 three-year promissory note, bearing the higher of LIBOR plus 3% or 8% interest per annum, convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $3.50 per share, 500 shares of our common stock and a 5 year warrant to purchase 696.5 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $3.92 per share. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the unit purchase warrants issued to Empire totaled $614,000. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 5 years, volatility of 99% and interest rate of 4.2%. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the unit purchase warrants issued to Empire decreased to $509,000 with the adjusting offset of $105,000 recorded in “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” Transaction costs were allocated based on the relative fair values of the individual components in the financing transaction. $431,000 of transaction costs allocated to the warrants were expensed immediately. The note portion of $433,000 was recorded as a deferred financing fee to be allocated to interest expense using the effective interest rate method, with such rate equaling 624% over the 3 year term of the notes. The equity portion of $376,000 was recorded as an offering expense and included as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Outstanding Warrants as of December 31, 2007 Description Issue Date Exercise Price Shares Expiration Date Merger Investor Warrants 8/10/2007 $ 2.83 5,863,678 8/10/2012 Bridge Note Warrants 9/26/2007 $ 3.92 219,073 9/26/2010 September 2007 Unit Warrants 9/26/2007 $ 3.92 1,432,449 9/27/2012 SBE Investor Warrants (pre-merger warrants) 6/27/2003 $ 7.50 11,000 6/27/2008 SBE Investor Warrants (pre-merger warrants) 6/27/2003 $ 8.75 5,000 6/27/2008 SBE Investor Warrants (pre-merger warrants) 6/27/2003 $ 10.00 10,000 6/27/2008 SBE Investor Warrants (pre-merger warrants) 7/26/2005 $ 16.65 206,000 7/26/2010 Total warrants outstanding 7,747,200 51 Derivatives As discussed above the senior secured, bridge and promissory notes issued above contain embedded conversion features. Pursuant to SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 the conversion features are considered embedded derivatives and are included in “Embedded derivative of convertible debt.” At the time of issuance of the senior secured notes, the fair value of the conversion feature was recorded as a debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the senior secured notes using the effective interest rate method. Changes in the fair value of the conversion feature are recorded in “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants.” During the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $441,000 and $71,000 of interest expense associated with the amortization of the debt discounts along with $33.6 million and ($24,000) associated with the changes in the fair value of the conversion feature liability. 13. Stockholders’ Equity On January 8, 2007, we engaged Griffin Securities, Inc. (Griffin) to act as our financial advisor. Under the terms of the agreement, upon the completion of a merger transaction, we agreed to pay a fee of $250,000 in cash and issue 229,573 unit purchase warrants to Griffin. Each unit purchase warrant is convertible into one share of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.42 per share and a warrant to purchase one-half share of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.83 per share. We amended the Griffin agreement to allow the unit purchase warrants to be granted subsequent to May 18, 2007. The unit purchase warrants were issued to Griffin on June 29, 2007. The fair value of the unit purchase warrants issued to Griffin totals $158,000 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 5 years, volatility of 50% and interest rate of 4.875%. The fair value was recorded as a prepaid expense and was allocated to merger costs at the completion of the merger and is included in “Non-cash charges for conversion features & warrants” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 29, 2007, the exercise deadline for 101,719 employee warrants to purchase our common stock was extended from June 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007. In December 2007, the employee warrants were exercised pursuant to the warrant net exercise provisions and resulted in the issuance of 55,818 shares of our common stock by forfeiting the remaining 45,901 shares of common stock. The stock based compensation cost associated with the extension of these warrants totalled $7,000 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model were a term of 0.51 years, volatility of 50% and interest rate of 4.88%. On August 10, 2007 in conjunction with the merger transaction accounted for as a recapitalization, Neonode shareholders exchanged each share of Neonode common stock for 3.5319 shares of SBE common stock (exchange ratio). Each Neonode warrant and stock option that was outstanding on the closing date has been converted into SBE warrants and stock options by multiplying the Neonode stock options by the same exchange ratio described above. The new exercise price was also determined by dividing the old exercise price by the same exchange ratio. Each of these warrants and options is subject to the same terms and conditions that were in effect for the related Neonode warrants and options. Immediately following the consummation of the merger, Neonode stockholders and employees own approximately 28.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock or instruments convertible into common stock, or 90.6% of the fully diluted capitalization, including warrants and options, of the combined company. 52 The following table is the number of shares of common stock, warrants and stock options outstanding immediately following the consummation of the merger. The securities issued in the merger have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. We completed a private placement of our debt and equity securities on September 26, 2007 and in consideration, we agreed to delay the filing a registration statement to register for resale the shares of the common stock issued to the Neonode shareholders plus all the shares underlying the warrants to purchase common stock and employee stock options until after March 3, 2008; except that up to 600,000 such shares sold in a simultaneous private placement by certain officers were registered on December 3, 2007. 14. Stock-Based Compensation We have several approved stock option plans for which stock options and restricted stock awards are available to grant to employees, consultants and directors. All employee and director stock options granted under our stock option plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for any options, as vesting for all outstanding option grants was based only on continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards are classified as equity instruments. Stock Options As of December 31, 2007, we had four equity incentive plans: We also had one non-employee director stock option plan as of December 31, 2007: The following table details the outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock pursuant to each plan at December 31, 2007: As of August 10, 2007 SBE Neonode Total Common Stock 2,295,529 20,378,251 22,673,780 Warrants to purchase common stock 232,000 5,965,397 6,197,397 Employee stock options 437,808 2,117,332 2,555,140 Total 2,965,337 28,460,980 31,426,317 • The 1996 Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan), which expired in January 2006; • The 1998 Non-Officer Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan) ; • The 2007 Neonode Stock Option Plan (the Neonode Plan), we will not grant any additional equity awards out of the Neonode Plan; and • The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). • The 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the Director Plan).

The 1996 Plan terminated effective January 17, 2006 and although we can no longer issue stock options out of the plan, the outstanding options at the date of termination will remain outstanding and vest in accordance with their terms. Options granted under the Director Plan vest over a one to four-year period, expire five to seven years after the date of grant and have exercise prices reflecting market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 1996, 1998 and 2006 and are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, vest in various installments over a one to four-year period and have exercise prices reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The Neonode Plan has been designed for participants (i) who are subject to Swedish income taxation (each, a “Swedish Participant”) and (ii) who are not subject to Swedish income taxation (each, a “Non-Swedish Participant”). We will not grant any additional equity awards out of the Neonode Plan. The options issued under the plan to the Non-Swedish Participant are five year options with 25% vesting immediately and the remaining vesting over a three year period. The options issued to Swedish participants are vested immediately upon issuance.

The fair value of stock-based compensation related to the employee and director stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date of the underlying stock options. Salary expense for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 includes a stock compensation charge relating to the above issuance of Swedish Participant and Non-Swedish Participant options. The fair value of the options at the date of issuance of the Swedish options was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These calculations assumed risk free interest rates ranging from 4.5% to 4.875%, a volatility of 50% and a share prices ranging from $4.69 to $4.78. The fair market value of the options was allocated to the vested and unvested options. The amount allocated to the unvested portion is amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining vesting period. The stock compensation expense reflects the fair value of the vested portion of options for the Swedish and Non-Swedish participants at the date of issuance, the amortization of the unvested portion of the stock options, less the option premiums received from the Swedish participants. Employee and director stock-based compensation expense related to stock options in the accompanying condensed statements of operations is as follows (in thousands): The remaining unamortized expense related to stock options will be recognized on a straight line basis monthly as compensation expense over the remaining vesting period which approximates 3 years. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.54 and $4.52, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $42,766 and $16,798, respectively. The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though this model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from our stock options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term and forfeiture rate of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior, as well as expected behavior on outstanding options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock price. These factors could change in the future, which would affect fair values of stock options granted in such future periods, and could cause volatility in the total amount of the stock-based compensation expense reported in future periods. Twelve months ended December 31, 2006 Twelve months ended December 31, 2007 Remaining unamortized expense at December 31, 2007 Stock based compensation $ 0 $ 408 $ 964 Options granted in years ended December 31 2007 2006 Expected life (in years) 4.27 5.12 Risk-free interest rate 5.55% 4.71% Volatility 114.42% 104.47% Dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 55 15. Warranty Obligations and Other Guarantees The following is a summary of our agreements that we have determined are within the scope of FIN 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others -- an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FIN 34. Our products are generally warranted against defects for twelve months following the sale. We generally have a twelve month warranty from the manufacturers of our products. Our estimate of costs to service our warranty obligations is based on expectation of future conditions. To the extent we estimate warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, a warranty accrual will be created and may increase or decrease from time to time, resulting in increases or decreases in gross margin. In January 2007, we offered our customers a design modification for the N2 phones held in their inventory. We expect the cost of the modification program to be approximately $200,000. 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. 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 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 December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We are the secondary guarantor on the building lease assumed by One Stop Systems, Inc. as part of the sale of the SBE, Inc hardware business on March 30, 2007. This lease commitment expires in September 2010. 16. Income Taxes Loss before income taxes was distributed geographically as follows (in thousands): We had no provision (benefit) for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate for the following reasons: Twelve Months Ended Dec. 31, Twelve Months Ended Dec. 31, 2007 2006 Domestic $ (39,608 ) $ (1,359 ) Foreign (8,833 ) (3,759 ) Total $ (48,441 ) $ (5,118 ) Twelve Months Ended Dec. 31, Twelve Months Ended Dec. 31, 2007 2006 Amount at standard tax rates (35 %) (35 %) Non-deductible loss on revaluation of embedded conversion features and extinguishment of convertible debt 30 % 0 Increase in valuation allowance for deferred tax asset 5 % 35 % Effective tax rate 0 % 0 % 56 Significant components of the deferred tax balances are as follows (in thousands): Valuation allowances are recorded to offset certain deferred tax assets due to management’s uncertainty of realizing the benefits of these items. Management applies a full valuation allowance for the accumulated losses of Neonode Inc, and its subsidiary Neonode AB, since it is not determinable using the “more likely than not” criteria that there will be any future benefit of our deferred tax assets. This is mainly due to our history of operating losses and due to the competitive character of the hand-held media device/mobile telephone market. The main components of our deferred tax benefits are the accumulated net operating loss carry-forwards, which are almost entirely related to the operations of Neonode AB in Sweden. Currently, under Swedish tax law these benefits do not expire and may be carried forward and utilized indefinitely. Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48 which includes a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore upon implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 is as follows: We adopted a policy to classify accrued interest and penalties as part of the accrued FIN 48 liability in the provision for income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we did not recognize any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. Our continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, we had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax matters. December 31, 2007 2006 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 5,703 $ 2,850 Amortization 1,305 314 Other 210 - Total deferred tax assets $ 7,218 $ 3,164 Valuation allowance (7,218 ) (3,164 ) Total net deferred tax assets $ - $ - Balance at January 1, 2007 $ 0 Additions for tax positions of prior years --- Reductions for tax position of prior years --- Additions based on tax positions related to the current year --- Decreases - Settlements --- Reductions - Settlements --- Balance at December 31, 2007 $ 0 57 By the end of 2007, we had no uncertain tax positions that would be reduced as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. We do not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change to our financial position. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California and Sweden. The 1994 through 2007 tax years are open and may be subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions. We are not currently under federal, state or foreign income tax examination. 17. Employee Benefit Plans We participate in a number of individual defined contribution pension plans for our employees in Sweden. Contributions relating to these defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $237,000 and $26,000 respectively. 18. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings During 2006, a reserve was recorded for a dispute that developed between us and a supplier. Neonode AB contracted with a supplier for the production and delivery of telephones during 2005. Neonode AB believes that the supplier did not deliver the telephones in accordance with its obligations under the contract, which entitled Neonode AB to terminate the contract. Neonode AB terminated the contract in June 2006. Since the contract was terminated due to the supplier’s breach of contract, we believed that the supplier had no right to payment in excess of what had already been paid for telephones delivered. The invoices for the produced but not delivered telephones amounted to $860,000. We and the supplier came to agreement in a settlement in December 2006 where Neonode AB should pay the supplier $410,000 in three instalments for three shipments of 500 phones each, after which none of the parties will have any claims on the other party except for warranty claims. The first instalment of $119,000 was paid in December 2006, the remainder in 2007. Since we are not certain that any telephones received in this settlement will be sellable in the future, due to newer models currently being introduced, the cost for the settlement has been expensed in 2006. There were no legal proceedings at December 31, 2007. Operating Leases We lease our office facilities in Sweden under a non-cancellable operating lease agreement. On October 22, 2007, our subsidiary Neonode AB entered into a lease agreement with NCC Property G AB for 9,500 square feet office space at Warfvingsesvag 41, Stockholm, to be used as the corporate headquarters. The lease period began on April 1, 2008 and expires on March 31, 2013. The annual payment for these premise equates to approximately $288,000 per year and is indexed to the consumer price index in Sweden. As an incentive to enter into the agreement as one of the firs tenants to occupy the building, the NCC Property G AB has given Neonode AB discounts amounting to approximately $120,000 allocated over the first eight months of the leasing period. Prior to taking occupancy of this new facility, during fiscal year 2007 through March 31, 2008, we occupied 6,000 square feet of office space in Stockholm under a lease which has now expired. The future minimum lease payments under this non-cancellable operating lease are as follows as of December 31, 2007 (in thousands): Total rent expense under the leases was $343,000 and $270,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 19. Concentration of Credit and Business Risks Future minimum payments on operating leases Year Ending December 31, 2008 $ 207 2009 317 2010 317 2011 317 2012 317 Thereafter 106 Total future minimum lease payments $ 1,581 58 Our trade accounts receivable are concentrated among a small number of customers, principally located in Europe and India. Two customers accounted for 68% of our outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 compared to two customers who accounted for more than 41% of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2006. Ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and, generally, no collateral is required. Sales to individual customers in excess of 15% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007 included sales to My Phone located in Greece of $992,000, or 32% of net sales and Brightpoint located in Sweden and Norway of $749,000, or 24% of net sales. Sales to individual customers in excess of 15% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006 included sales to a major Asian manufacturer located in Korea of $851,000, or 52% of net sales and sales to a Russian distributor of $740,000, or 45% of net sales. All sales were executed in Euros or U.S. dollars. We depend on a limited number of customers for substantially all revenue to date. Failure to anticipate or respond adequately to technological developments in our industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements or changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products or services, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and cash flows. Substantially all of our manufacturing process is subcontracted to one independent company. The chipsets used in our mobile phone handset product are currently available from single source suppliers. The inability to obtain sufficient key components as required, or to develop alternative sources if and as required in the future, could result in delays or reductions in product shipments or margins that, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. 20. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was computed by dividing the net loss for the relevant period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. However, common stock equivalents of approximately 404,000 and 0 stock options and 7.7 million and 0 warrants to purchase common stock are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect. (in thousands, except per share amounts) Years ended December 31, 2007 2006 Basic Earnings Per Share: Net loss available to common shareholders $ (48,441 ) $ (5,224 ) Number of shares for computation of earnings per share 15,400 10,119 Basic loss per share $ (3.15 ) $ (0.52 ) Diluted Earnings Per Share: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year 15,400 10,119 Assumed issuance of stock under warrant plus stock issued the employee and non-employee stock option plans (a ) (a ) Number of shares for computation of earnings per share 15,400 10,119 Diluted loss per share $ (3.15 ) $ (0.52 ) (a) In loss periods, common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share and therefore have been excluded. 59 21. Segment Information We have one reportable segment, as defined in SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information . We currently operate in one industry segment: the development and selling of multimedia mobile phones. To date, we have carried out substantially all of our operations through our subsidiary in Sweden, although we do carry out some development activities together with our manufacturing partner in Malaysia. We intend to manage our future growth on a geographic basis and our management will evaluate the performance of our segments and allocate resources to them based upon income (loss) from operations. During 2007, substantially all of our phones were sold in European countries. In 2006 we discontinued our N1 phone. We sold limited amounts of the N1 without any right of return. Over 90% of our phone revenues for 2006 were from Russia. In addition to phone sales, revenues included license revenue from an Asian manufacturer amounting to $463,000 and $851,000 for 2007 and 2006, respectively. 22. Related Party Transactions Petrus Holding, Iwo Jima SARL and Spray AB are companies where the Chairman of the Board and a significant shareholder of Neonode Inc., Per Bystedt, owns or has significant influence. All three companies have invested in senior secured notes that were convertible in our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock. All the convertible senior secured notes were converted to our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock just prior to the merger with SBE on August 10, 2007 (see Notes 1 and 12). 23. Subsequent Events Effective March 4, 2008, we sold $4.5 million in securities in a private placement to accredited investors (“Investors”) pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, dated March 4, 2008 (“Subscription Agreement”). We sold 1,800,000 shares (“Investor Shares”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), for $2.50 per share. After placement agent fees and offering expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $4,000,000. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, we granted the Investors piggyback registration rights in respect to the Investor Shares and we are obligated to include the Investor Shares in the next registration statement we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), subject to limited exceptions. In addition, we issued an aggregate of 207,492 shares of Common Stock to investors who participated in the September 2007 private placement pursuant to anti-dilution provisions contained. Empire Asset Management, Inc. acted as financial advisor in the private placement and received compensation in connection with the private placement of approximately $450,000 and 120,000 shares of Common Stock. In January 2008, we offered our customers a design modification for the N2 phones held in their inventory. We expect the cost of the modification program to be approximately $200,000. As part of the modification program we offered to transport the inventory to our manufacturing partner (Balda Malaysia) and provide the modifications at no cost to our customers. As a result, certain of our customers are withholding payment of amounts due us until the modifications are completed and the inventory is returned to them. 60 Neonode Inc.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the December 31, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons described below. During the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, management determined that we had certain material weaknesses relating to our revenue recognition policies and our accounting for certain financing transactions, including convertible debt and derivative financial instruments. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During mid-2007 we began shipping products to customers and initially recorded revenue as products were shipped. After evaluation of contracts and actual sell through, we determined that the proper revenue recognition methods would be “sell through.” This change resulted in certain accounting adjustments during our year-end audit. In addition, we entered into several complex financing transactions (including convertible debt, derivatives, bifurcation and complex valuation and measurement activities) that resulted in accounting adjustments during our year-end audit. Because these material weaknesses as to internal control over financial reporting also bear upon our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were unable to conclude our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The factors described below under “Internal Control of Financial Reporting” related to the integration and consolidation of the Swedish operating subsidiary we acquired on August 10, 2007 further contributed to the conclusion of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Despite the conclusion that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of period covered by this report, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the financial statements and other information contained in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations. Internal Control over Financial Reporting This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm. As discussed elsewhere in this report, the merger between SBE and Neonode on August 10, 2007 represented a significant change in our business and financial operations. Having occurred in the final third of the fiscal year, the merger left management with insufficient time to finalize integration and consolidate operations to fully assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our new operating subsidiary was not previously subject to Commission reporting standards, including those relating to internal control over financial reporting. The merger resulted in new employees, systems, and processes at fiscal year-end that were significantly different from those in place for the majority of the fiscal year. We also experienced a change in most members of senior management and the board of directors upon the merger. As a result, our management believed it was impracticable to fully and appropriately assess our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Even if our management had provided their conclusion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, it would not have been subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm due to temporary rules of the Commission that would permit us to provide only management’s assessment in this annual report. Comparable to a newly public company and consistent with public guidance from the Commission, we believe that having the benefit of a full fiscal year of consolidated business and financial operations, we expect our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will be positioned to provide the assessment of internal control over financial reporting as part of the annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 62 As of the period ended December 31, 2007, we undertook the following changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting: As we move towards complete integration and consolidation of business and financial operations of SBE and Neonode, we expect to take additional steps to both remedy the material weaknesses described above and facilitate our management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting in accordance the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Commission rules. Our planned steps include: On October 22, 2007, our subsidiary Neonode AB entered into a lease agreement with NCC Property G AB for 9,500 square feet office space at Warfvingsesvag 41, Stockholm, to be used as the corporate headquarters. The lease period began on April 1, 2008 and expires on March 31, 2013. The annual payment for these premise equates to approximately $288,000 per year and is indexed to the consumer price index in Sweden. As an incentive to enter into the agreement as one of the firs tenants to occupy the building, the NCC Property G AB has given Neonode AB discounts amounting to approximately $120,000 allocated over the first eight months of the leasing period. On October 21, 2007, Neonode AB also entered into a lease agreement with NCC Property G AB for 10 parking spaces located at Warfvingsesvag 41, Stockholm. The lease period begins on April 1, 2008 and expires on March 31, 2013. The annual payment for these premise amounts to $28,000 per year and is indexed to the consumer price index in Sweden. Neonode AB has the right to terminate the lease on March 31, 2011 if notice of termination is given by Neonode AB at least 9 months prior to March 31, 2011. PART III The identification of our executive officers is provided above at the end of Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal officers. The code of ethics has been posted on our internet website found at www.neonode.com. We intend to satisfy disclosure requirements regarding amendments to, or waivers from, any provisions of its code of ethics on our website. The other information required by this Item is incorporated by reference to “Election of Directors,” “Board of Directors Committees and Corporate Governance” and “Additional Information - Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance” in our definitive proxy statement for our 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be filed within 120 days of the end of our December 31, 2007 fiscal year (the “2008 Proxy Statement”). • We implemented corporate governance policies, including an employee code of conduct and whistleblower provisions, so that employees of our operating subsidiary would be aware of our compliance duties and responsibilities; and • We purchased new management reporting system software, and retained a consultant to oversee its implementation, to better enable us to consolidate our accounting and budgeting systems across different international locations and functional currencies. • adding personnel to our financial department, consultants, or other resources (including those with public company reporting experience) to enhance our policies and procedures, including those related to revenue recognition; • exploring the suitability of further upgrades to our accounting system to complement the new management reporting system software described above; • modifying the documentation and testing programs SBE was developing prior to the merger to appropriately apply to the new Neonode; and • engaging a qualified consultant in 2008 to perform an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and assist us in implementing appropriate internal controls on weaknesses determined, if any, documenting, and then testing the effectiveness of those controls.

Neonode Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies as follows: 1. The current name of the Corporation is Neonode Inc. The name under which the Corporation was originally incorporated is SBE (Delaware), Inc. and the date of the filing of the original Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware is September 4, 1997. 2. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as the same heretofore has been amended, supplemented or restated (the "Certificate of Incorporation") currently authorizes the issuance of 42,000,000 shares of all classes, which are divided into (i) 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which no series have been designated, and the Corporation wishes to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 75,000,000 shares. 3. The amendment and the restatement of the restated Certificate of Incorporation herein certified have been duly adopted by the stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 242 and of Section 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and integrates and further amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, so as to read in its entirety as follows: ARTICLE I. The name of this Corporation is Neonode Inc. ARTICLE II. The address of the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, and the name of the registered agent of the corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is the The Corporation Trust Company. ARTICLE III. The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. ARTICLE IV. A. This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares which the corporation is authorized to issue is Seventy-Seven Million (77,000,000) shares, of which Seventy-Five Million (75,000,000) shares will be Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Two Million (2,000,000) shares will be Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. B. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, by filing a certificate (a "Preferred Stock Designation") pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, to fix or alter from time to time the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and to establish from time to time the number of shares constituting any such series or any of them; and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares of any series is decreased in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the shares constituting such decrease will resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. ARTICLE V. For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the corporation, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that: A. (1) The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the corporation will be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors that will constitute the whole Board of Directors will be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. (2) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Directors will be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class I directors will expire and Class I directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class II directors will expire and Class II directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class III directors will expire and Class III directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, each director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director. (3) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director will be removed without cause. Subject to any limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors (the "Voting Stock"). (4) Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors will, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships will be filled by the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director's successor has been elected and qualified. (5) In the event that Section 2115(a) of the California Corporations Code is applicable to this corporation, then the following will apply: (a) Every stockholder entitled to vote in any election of directors of this corporation may cumulate such stockholder's votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which the stockholder's shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder's votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder thinks fit; - 2 - (b) No stockholder, however, may cumulate such stockholder's votes for one or more candidates unless (A) the names of such candidates have been properly placed in nomination, in accordance with the Bylaws of the corporation, prior to the voting, (B) the stockholder has given advance notice to the corporation of the intention to cumulative votes pursuant to the Bylaws, and (C) the stockholder has given proper notice to the other stockholders at the meeting, prior to voting, of such stockholder's intention to cumulate such stockholder's votes; and (6) If any stockholder has given proper notice, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes of the shares entitled to be voted for them up to the number of directors to be elected by such shares shall be declared elected. B. (1) Subject to paragraph (h) of Section 43 of the Bylaws, the Bylaws may be altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted by the affirmative vote of sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the then outstanding shares of the Voting Stock. The Board of Directors will also have the power to adopt, amend, or repeal Bylaws. (2) The directors of the corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide. (3) Following the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Agreement and Plan of Merger effecting the merger between the corporation and SBE, Inc., a California corporation, no action will be taken by the stockholders of the corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the Bylaws. (4) Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (A) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (B) the Chief Executive Officer, or (C) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption) or (D) by the holders of the shares entitled to cast not less than sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the votes at the meeting, and will be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors fix therefor. (5) Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation must be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the corporation. ARTICLE VI. A. A director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended. B. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI will be prospective and will not affect the rights under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification. - 3 - ARTICLE VII. A. The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, except as provided in paragraph B. of this Article VII, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation. B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or any Preferred Stock Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the then outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, will be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI, and VII. 4. This certificate is filed pursuant to Section 242 and 245 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, as amended.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting or, in the event public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the corporation fewer than seventy (70) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary will set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (3) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (4) any material interest of the stockholder in such business and (5) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), in his capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholder’s meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business will be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (b). The chairman of the annual meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and, if he should so determine, he will so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting will not be transacted. (c) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (c) will be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, will be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 5. Such stockholder’s notice will set forth (1) as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director: (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder, and (E) any other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (2) as to such stockholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election as a director will furnish to the Secretary of the corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person will be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). The chairman of the meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he will so declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination will be disregarded. (d) For purposes of this Section 5, “public announcement” will mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS. (a) Special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by (1) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (2) the Chief Executive Officer, (3) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption) or (4) by the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of the votes at the meeting, and will be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors, will fix. (b) If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request will be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and will be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors will determine the time and place of such special meeting, which will be held not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request will cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. If the notice is not given within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may set the time and place of the meeting and give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph (b) will be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held. 7. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders will be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, date and hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting will be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. 8. QUORUM. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business will be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action taken by the holders of a majority of the vote cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present will be valid and binding upon the corporation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast, including abstentions, by the holders of shares of such class or classes or series will be the act of such class or classes or series. 9. ADJOURNMENT AND NOTICE OF ADJOURNED MEETINGS. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares casting votes, excluding abstentions. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. 10. VOTING RIGHTS. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, will be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote will have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy will be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. 11. JOINT OWNERS OF STOCK. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting will have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the General Corporation Law of Delaware, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) will be a majority or even-split in interest. 12. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. The Secretary will prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place will be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list will be produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. 13. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. No action will be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action will be taken by the stockholders by written consent. 14. ORGANIZATION. (a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, will act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the President, will act as secretary of the meeting. (b) The Board of Directors of the corporation will be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it will deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting will have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman will permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders will not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure. ARTICLE IV DIRECTORS 15. NUMBER AND TERM OF OFFICE. The authorized number of directors of the corporation will be fixed in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation. If for any cause, the directors will not have been elected at an annual meeting, they may be elected as soon thereafter as convenient at a special meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose in the manner provided in these Bylaws. 16. POWERS. The powers of the corporation will be exercised, its business conducted and its property controlled by the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. 17. CLASSES OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors will be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Directors will be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class I directors will expire and Class I directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class II directors will expire and Class II directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the adoption and filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term of office of the Class III directors will expire and Class III directors will be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, each director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will shorten the term of any incumbent director. 18. VACANCIES. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, will unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships will be filled by stockholders, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence will hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor will have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors will be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director. 19. RESIGNATION. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it will be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors will resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, will have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations will become effective, and each Director so chosen will hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the Director whose place will be vacated and until his successor will have been duly elected and qualified. 20. REMOVAL. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director will be removed without cause. Subject to any limitations imposed by law, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation, entitled to vote at an election of directors (the “Voting Stock”). 21. MEETINGS. (a) ANNUAL MEETINGS. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors will be held immediately before or after the annual meeting of stockholders and at the place where such meeting is held.

(f) WAIVER OF NOTICE. The transaction of all business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, however called or noticed, or wherever held, will be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present will sign a written waiver of notice. All such waivers will be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. 22. QUORUM AND VOTING. (a) Unless the Certificate of Incorporation requires a greater number and except with respect to indemnification questions arising under Section 43 hereof, for which a quorum will be one-third of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, a quorum of the Board of Directors will consist of a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, at any meeting whether a quorum be present or otherwise, a majority of the directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting.

ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and such writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. 24. FEES AND COMPENSATION. Directors will be entitled to such compensation for their services as may be approved by the Board of Directors, including, if so approved, by resolution of the Board of Directors, a fixed sum and expenses of attendance, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors and at any meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors. Nothing herein contained will be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise and receiving compensation therefor. 25. COMMITTEES. (a) EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Board of Directors may by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors appoint an Executive Committee to consist of one (1) or more members of the Board of Directors.

Such other committees appointed by the Board of Directors will consist of one (1) or more members of the Board of Directors and will have such powers and perform such duties as may be prescribed by the resolution or resolutions creating such committees, but in no event will such committee have the powers denied to the Executive Committee in these Bylaws.

The Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of subsections (a) or (b) of this Bylaw may at any time increase or decrease the number of members of a committee or terminate the existence of a committee. The membership of a committee member will terminate on the date of his death or voluntary resignation from the committee or from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time for any reason remove any individual committee member and the Board of Directors may fill any committee vacancy created by death, resignation, removal or increase in the number of members of the committee. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee, and, in addition, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. (d) MEETINGS. Unless the Board of Directors will otherwise provide, regular meetings of the Executive Committee or any other committee appointed pursuant to this Section 25 will be held at such times and places as are determined by the Board of Directors, or by any such committee, and when notice thereof has been given to each member of such committee, no further notice of such regular meetings need be given thereafter.

The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, determine the method and designate the signatory officer or officers, or other person or persons, to execute on behalf of the corporation any corporate instrument or document, or to sign on behalf of the corporation the corporate name without limitation, or to enter into contracts on behalf of the corporation, except where otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, and such execution or signature will be binding upon the corporation. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board of Directors or otherwise required by law, promissory notes, deeds of trust, mortgages and other evidences of indebtedness of the corporation, and other corporate instruments or documents requiring the corporate seal, and certificates of shares of stock owned by the corporation, will be executed, signed or endorsed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or any Vice President, and by the Secretary or Chief Financial Officer. All other instruments and documents requiring the corporate signature, but not requiring the corporate seal, may be executed as aforesaid or in such other manner as may be directed by the Board of Directors. All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries on funds to the credit of the corporation or in special accounts of the corporation will be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors will authorize so to do. Unless authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee will have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount. 33. VOTING OF SECURITIES OWNED BY THE CORPORATION. All stock and other securities of other corporations owned or held by the corporation for itself, or for other parties in any capacity, will be voted, and all proxies with respect thereto will be executed, by the person authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of such authorization, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, or any Vice President. ARTICLE VII SHARES OF STOCK 34. FORM AND EXECUTION OF CERTIFICATES. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates unless the Board of Directors shall, by resolution, provide that some or all of any class or series of stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by certificate until the certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Certificates for the shares of stock of the corporation will be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the corporation will be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or any Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer or assistant financial officer or the Secretary or assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate will have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue. Each certificate will state upon the face or back thereof, in full or in summary, all of the powers, designations, preferences, and rights, and the limitations or restrictions of the shares authorized to be issued or will, except as otherwise required by law, set forth on the face or back a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the corporation will send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this section or otherwise required by law or with respect to this section a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series will be identical. 35. LOST CERTIFICATES. A new certificate or certificates will be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it will require or to give the corporation a surety bond in such form and amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed. 36. TRANSFERS. (a) Transfers of record of shares of stock of the corporation will be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, upon compliance with the customary procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form or upon surrender of a properly endorsed certificate or certificates for a like number of shares (b) The corporation will have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the General Corporation Law of Delaware. 37. FIXING RECORD DATES. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date will not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date will not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders will be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders will apply to any adjournment of the meeting; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. 38. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The corporation will be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it will have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware. ARTICLE VIII OTHER SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION 39. EXECUTION OF OTHER SECURITIES. All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the corporation, other than stock certificates (covered in Section 34), may be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or any Vice President, or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, and the corporate seal impressed thereon or a facsimile of such seal imprinted thereon and attested by the signature of the Secretary or an assistant secretary, or the Chief Financial Officer or assistant financial officer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate security will be authenticated by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate security will be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, will be signed by the Chief Financial Officer or assistant financial officer of the corporation or such other person as may be authorized by the Board of Directors, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who will have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature will appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, will have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested will have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature will have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the corporation. ARTICLE IX DIVIDENDS 40. DECLARATION OF DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the Board of Directors pursuant to law at any regular or special meeting. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation. 41. DIVIDEND RESERVE. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board of Directors will think conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. ARTICLE X FISCAL YEAR 42. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the corporation will be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors. ARTICLE XI INDEMNIFICATION 43. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, OTHER OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. (a) DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The corporation will indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article XI, “executive officers will have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the corporation will not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d). (b) OTHER OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. The corporation will have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. (c) EXPENSES. The corporation will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or executive officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance will be made by the corporation to an executive officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph will not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. (d) ENFORCEMENT. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Bylaw will be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or executive officer will be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (1) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (2) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation will be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation will be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise will be on the corporation. (e) NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw will not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law. (f) SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. (g) INSURANCE. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw. (h) AMENDMENTS. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw will only be prospective and will not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation. (i) SAVING CLAUSE. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof will be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation will nevertheless indemnify each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that will not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. (j) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Bylaw, the following definitions will apply: (1) The term “proceeding” will be broadly construed and will include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. (2) The term “expenses” will be broadly construed and will include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding. (3) The term the “corporation” will include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, will stand in the same position under the provisions of this Bylaw with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. (4) References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the corporation will include, without limitation, situations where such person is serving at the request of the corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. (5) References to “other enterprises” will include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” will include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” will include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan will be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this Bylaw. ARTICLE XII NOTICES 44. NOTICES. (a) NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS. Whenever, under any provisions of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, it will be given in writing, timely and duly deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to his last known post office address as shown by the stock record of the corporation or its transfer agent. (b) NOTICE TO DIRECTORS. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a), or by facsimile, telex or telegram, except that such notice other than one which is delivered personally will be sent to such address as such director will have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office address of such director. (c) AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, will in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained. (d) TIME NOTICES DEEMED GIVEN. All notices given by mail, as above provided, will be deemed to have been given as at the time of mailing, and all notices given by facsimile, telex or telegram will be deemed to have been given as of the sending time recorded at time of transmission. (e) METHODS OF NOTICE. It will not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all directors, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others. (f) FAILURE TO RECEIVE NOTICE. The period or limitation of time within which any stockholder may exercise any option or right, or enjoy any privilege or benefit, or be required to act, or within which any director may exercise any power or right, or enjoy any privilege, pursuant to any notice sent him in the manner above provided, will not be affected or extended in any manner by the failure of such stockholder or such director to receive such notice. (g) NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person will not be required and there will be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which will be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful will have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate will state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful. (h) NOTICE TO PERSON WITH UNDELIVERABLE ADDRESS. Whenever notice is required to be given, under any provision of law or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, to any stockholder to whom (i) notice of two consecutive annual meetings, and all notices of meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a meeting to such person during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (ii) all, and at least two, payments (if sent by first class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period, have been mailed addressed to such person at his address as shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person will not be required. Any action or meeting which will be taken or held without notice to such person will have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person will deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth his then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such person will be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to this paragraph. ARTICLE XIII AMENDMENTS 45. AMENDMENTS. Subject to paragraph (h) of Section 43 of the Bylaws, the Bylaws may be altered or amended or new Bylaws adopted by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock.

The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors will approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these Bylaws will be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute. NEONODE, INC.

The Senior Secured Notes provide for amendment by action of the Required Holders (defined in the Senior Secured Notes as “the holders of at least 50.1% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes”), and this Amendment effects such an amendment. The Company sold senior secured notes, due September 30, 2007, in aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to SBE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ SBE ”), pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated as of May 18, 2007, of which one note in the principal amount of $500,000 is outstanding (the “ SBE Notes ”).

By their respective execution of this Amendment, the Company and the undersigned Bridge Investors agree that the Senior Secured Notes shall be extended and shall be due and payable on December 31, 2007. 2. The term Required Holders is hereby redefined, effective after the date hereof, to include all of New Notes, if any are issued, as Senior Secured Notes; accordingly, actions that can be taken by the Required Holders under the Senior Secured Notes will, after the effective date hereof, require the action of holders of at least 50.1% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes and New Notes. 3. The Amendment shall be effective to extend the term of all Senior Secured Notes and shall bind all the Bridge Investors when executed and delivered by the Company and the Required Holders. 4. Except as expressly provided herein, the Senior Secured Notes and SBE Notes shall continue in full force and effect.

In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord coincidentally with such next due Base Rent an amount equal to (A) one-twelfth (112th) of the Prior Year’s Increase, if any, multiplied by (B) the number of months or partial months (including the then current month) then elapsed in the current calendar year, less (C) the aggregate of any Operating Cost Payments made by Tenant for such current calendar year.

The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were at such time in satisfactory condition unless within ten (10) days after such date Tenant shall give Landlord written notice specifying in reasonable detail the respects in which the Premises or the Building were not in satisfactory condition. 6.3 Uses Prohibited .

If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for Tenant’s unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, so long as such award to Tenant does not decrease the value of the award that would otherwise be made to Landlord in such taking or condemnation. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the part of Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking, and Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall restore the Premises remaining to an architectural whole with the Base Rent reduced in proportion to what the area taken bears to the Premises prior to the taking. No temporary taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant’s rights therein or under this Lease shall give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of Rent thereunder. Any award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking where Landlord does not terminate this Lease shall belong entirely to Tenant so long as said award does not diminish Landlord’s award. 15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 15.1 Landlord’s Consent Required . Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein (each a “Transfer”), and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Please Initial Tenant ( ) Landlord ( ) 15 15.2 Reasonable Consent . (a) If Tenant complies with the following conditions, Landlord sail not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease.

Within ten (10) business days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify Tenant whether it approves such assignment or subletting or if it elects to proceed under Paragraph 15.8 below. (b) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (i) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the Transferee’s reputation or creditworthiness or the character of the business to be conducted by the Transferee at the Premises, (ii) the assignment or subletting would increase the burden on the Building services or the number of people occupying the Premises, or (iii) Landlord otherwise determines that the assignment or sublease would have the effect of decreasing the value of the Project or increasing the expenses associated with operating the Project. In no event may Tenant publicly advertise or offer all or any portion of the Premises for assignment or sublease at a rental less than that then sought by Landlord for comparable space in the Project. 15.3 Excess Consideration . If Landlord consents to the assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive as additional Rent hereunder 50% of any consideration paid by the Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, 50% of the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant over the amount of Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments payable hereunder applicable to the subleased space. 15.4 No Release of Tenant . No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting, and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of Rent (or that portion applicable to the subleased space in the case of a sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of the Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant and any such Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer. 15.5 Attorneys’ Fees . Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $500.00) incurred in connection with reviewing any proposed assignment or sublease. Please Initial Tenant ( ) Landlord ( ) 16 15.6 Transfer of Ownership Interest . If Tenant is a business entity, any direct or indirect transfer of 50 percent or more of the ownership interest of the entity (whether all at one time or over the term of the Lease) shall be deemed a Transfer. 15.7 Effectiveness of Transfer . No permitted assignment by Tenant shall be effective until Landlord has received a counterpart of the assignment and an instrument in which the assignee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease arising on or after the date of assignment. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases. 15.8 Landlord’s Right to Space . Notwithstanding any of the above provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Landlord, in lieu of consenting to such assignment or sublease, may elect to terminate this Lease (in the case of an assignment or a sublease of the entire Premises), or to terminate this Lease as it relates to the space proposed to be subleased by Tenant (in the case of a sublease of less than the entire Premises). In such event, this Lease (or portion thereof) will terminate on the date the assignment or sublease was to be effective, and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the prospective Transferee identified by Tenant. 15.9 No Net Profits Leases . Anything contained in the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Tenant, nor any other person having an interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises, shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for the use, occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the premises leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises. 16. SUBORDINATION 16.1 Subordination . Except as provided in the next sentence, or as the Tenant and the mortgagee or trustee of any “First Mortgage” (as defined below) may otherwise agree, this Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting all or any part of the Project, and to the lien of any first mortgages or first deeds of trust (each a “First Mortgage”) in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the Land or Building, Landlord’s interest or estate therein, or any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination, If any mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its First Mortgage or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such First Mortgage or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said First Mortgage or ground lease or the date of the recording thereof. Please Initial Tenant ( ) Landlord ( ) 17 16.2 Junior Liens . Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any present or future mortgages or deeds of trust that are junior to any First Mortgage. 16.3 Subordination Agreements .

Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, to execute and deliver any such agreements, instruments, releases or other documents. 16.4 Attornment . If this Project is transferred to any purchaser pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings to enforce any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease (collectively, “Encumbrance”), and this Lease is either prior to such Encumbrance or the mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor of the Project elects to have this Lease survive such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser and recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease, and this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such purchaser and Tenant. 17. QUIET ENJOYMENT Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the Rent and performing its other covenants and conditions under this Lease, Tenant shall have the quiet possession of the Premises for the term of this Lease as against any persons or entities lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease and of any Encumbrance. 18.

If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession in writing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or regulation providing for recovery of damages for such breach, including but not limited to the following: (1) The reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; plus (2) The reasonable cost of removing Tenant’s alterations, trade fixtures and Above-Standard Improvements; plus (3) All unpaid Rent due or earned hereunder prior to the date of termination, less the proceeds of any resetting or any rental received from subtenants prior to the date of termination applied as provided in subsection (a) above, together with interest at the Default Rate, on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus (4) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments as reasonably estimated by Landlord, from the date of termination until the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, together with interest at the Default Rate on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus (5) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, for the remainder of the then term, after the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); plus (6) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. Please Initial Tenant ( ) Landlord ( ) 20 (c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and remove all Tenant’s personal property, and trade fixtures from the Premises. If Landlord removes such property from the Premises and stores it at Tenant’s risk and expense, and if Tenant fails to pay the cost of such removal and storage after written demand therefor and/or to pay any Rent then due, after the property has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more Landlord may sell such property at public or private sale, in the manner and at such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion deems commercially reasonable following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses for removal and storage of the property, preparation for and conducting such sale, and attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and the balance shall be applied as provided in subsection (a) above.

Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent or Operating Costs Payments is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the date such amount shall be due, or if any installment of other Rent is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee on or before the date such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. 18.4 Interest . In addition to the late charges referred to above which are intended to defray Landlord’s costs resulting from late payments, any late payment of Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to the date the same is paid at the Default Rate, provided, however, that if Landlord imposes a late charge on any overdue payment, such overdue payment shall not begin to bear interest under this Paragraph 18.4 until thirty (30) days after the due date thereof.

If Tenant so notifies Landlord, Landlord at its option may withdraw its relocation notice, in which event this Lease shall continue and Tenant shell not be relocated, or accept Tenant’s termination notice, in which event this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date the relocation was to be effective, Please Initial Tenant ( ) Landlord ( ) 22 21.

Minor adjustments are understood to mean that the office and conference rooms that are shown on the outline plan may be moved to elsewhere in the premises as well as a maximum of 2 office rooms may be added. The adjustments may only be effected if they are technically uncomplicated in respect of the property’s technical installations. The Landlord and Tenant shall, in accord, find the most suitable solution.

If the Tenant does not provide such a basis for final planning the Landlord shall undertake final planning and provide the premises with a point of departure taken in the basis that exists and in accordance with the documents that relate to this present leasing agreement. Changes to the layout may be expected during the forthcoming detailed planning stage. Irrespective of the layout and state of the premises according to annexes 2 and 4, the Landlord is entitled to carry out such changes that are imperative for construction reasons or that are imposed by the appropriate authorities. In this respect reasonable consideration shall be given to the Tenant’s wishes.

Index clause The annual rent stated in the leasing contract shall, during the lease term, be recalculated on the basis of the changes to the Statistics Sweden consumer price index (total index with 1980 as the base year) in accordance with the following bases. The basic rent shall constitute 100 % of the rent amount stated in the contract. During the lease term a supplement to the rent amount shall be made, on the basis of the changes to the consumer price index (total index with 1980 as the base year), by a certain percent of the basic rent, in accordance with what is stated in the following. The basic rent is regarded as being established in line with the index figure for October 2007 (the basic figure). This figure is currently unknown. Should the index figure at any subsequent October have risen in relation to the basic figure, then a supplement shall be payable at the percentage figure by which the index figure has altered in relation to the basic figure. A supplement shall henceforth be payable in relation to the index changes, whereby the rent changes shall be calculated on the basis of the percentage change between the basic figure and the index figure for the respective October. In the event of the index figure for any October falling in relation to the index figure that applied at the last time that the rent was adjusted in accordance with this clause, the preceding index supplement shall be payable without change. Appendix 1 - Special Provisions 2(6) Appendix 1 NCC Special Provisions Payable rent shall never be set lower than the rent amount stated in the contract. The rent change always takes place from and including 1 January following the October that has given rise to the recalculation. 5. Heating, ventilation, cooling plant, water The Tenant shall, at the same time as the rent and in addition to it, effect payment corresponding to the Landlord’s prime costs (consumption including network charges) for that part of the Landlord’s fixed and variable costs for heating, cooling plant and ventilation of the property, that relate to the premises. The Landlord does not intend to install separate metering equipment for the premises whereupon the charging shall be based on the consumption in the building and a calculated apportionment between the relevant premises, when the apportionment shall be undertaken by the Landlord. The Tenant shall effect payment quarterly on account in a sum that originally amounts to SEK 125 per m2/year. The amount on account shall be adjusted annually on the basis of the actual outcome. Settlement against actual calculated consumption shall be made no later than 1 July of the following year. The Tenant shall be entitled to install his own meters at his own cost. Included in the rent is the cost of water for normal consumption for office premises. The Tenant shall pay the cost of water consumption over and above what is normal for the office space, such as for cooling plant, machinery belonging to the operation or other special apparatuses. Where appropriate the Tenant shall acquire and install water meters for measuring the consumption for which the Tenant is liable. 6.

The Tenant shall additionally compensate for the increased operation VAR and investment VAT that becomes a consequence of the Tenant’s action. Appendix 1 - Special Provisions 3(6) Appendix 1 NCC Special Provisions 9. Garage places The Tenant has the right to rent 10 garage places in the property. The rent shall be SEK 18 000 per place and year and shall also be index adjusted under the same conditions that are stated in this present agreement. A separate rent agreement shall be concluded. The Tenant shall notify within one month of the leasing agreement being concluded, whether he wishes to rent the places. If the Tenant chooses not to rent the places the Landlord has the right to rent them out to someone else. 10. Security for the rent As security for the Tenant’s fulfilment of all obligations in accordance with the leasing contract and in accordance with the law, the Tenant shall provide the Landlord with a bank guarantee for 6 months rent.

No rent is payable for the period 28-03-2008 to 31-03-2008. The above-stated Day of Taking Possession (28-03-2008) presupposes e.g. that the Tenant keeps to the times regarding his part of the programme work and instruction timetable in accordance with clause 1 “the arrangement of the premises”. The Tenant is aware about, and accepts, that there may be construction work in the premises that is not completed on The Day of Taking Possession. The Tenant shall, however, be able to conduct his business in an acceptable manner and also the work shall be concluded within two weeks of the time that the tenant has taken possession of the premises. 12.

At other times as well as on holidays, the tenant may himself extend the operating time via manual adjustment. 13. Assignment of leasing rights The Tenant is not, without the Landlord’s prior written consent, entitled to wholly or partly assign the leasing rights to the premises. Such consent shall not be refused if the Landlord does not have justified cause to oppose the assignment. The Tenant is not, without the Landlord’s prior written consent, entitled to wholly or partly give up the leasing rights to the premises as sub-letting. The above stated restrictions to the Tenant’s right to assign and/or give up the premises shall not apply to assignment/giving up to another company or another association within the Tenant’s corporate group, or to such assignment in connection with the transfer of business as referred to in the land law (1990:994) chapter 12, § 36. 14. Environmental responsibility If the Tenant conducts environmentally dangerous activity he shall be required to obtain the requisite permits for the conducting of the activity from the Landlord, authorities, courts or other determining instance. The Tenant is responsible for following the current environmental legislation and to conduct the environmentally dangerous activity in a manner that in all respects minimises any inconveniences for the Landlord, other tenants in the property as well as third parties. The Tenant is financially liable and, in all other respects, for the consequences of the conducted activity in relation to the Landlord, other tenants, third parties and the involved authorities or similar instances as well as, where appropriate, the courts. In the event of the Landlord being subjected to financial liability for the environmentally dangerous activity that the Tenant conducts or has conducted, the Landlord is entitled to claim full compensation for this from the Tenant. The Tenant shall consult with the Landlord in matters regarding choice of materials and technical equipment for fixed installations, reconstructions etc. that take place under the auspices of the Tenant, and shall also provide the Landlord with the requisite environmental information. The Tenant is responsible for the cooling media installations that the Tenant employs at any given time in his activity, meeting all the requirements that are imposed in accordance with current environmental legislation. 15.

The Tenant is further responsible for otherwise taking the measures within the premises that are necessary in order to prevent fire and in order to prevent or restrict damage as a result of fire. The Landlord has a responsibility for documenting the fire protection within the building. The Tenant is therefore obliged, no later than two months after the date of taking possession, as well as each year on 31 January, to hand over to the Landlord a written documentation of the Tenant’s fire protection. The Tenant’s documentation shall have the content as laid down by the Swedish Rescue Services Agency’s general advice and comments on systematic fire protection work, SRVFS 2004:3. Appendix 1 - Special Provisions 5(6) Appendix 1 NCC Special Provisions The Tenant is responsible for providing the Landlord within two weeks of a written request, with the details that the Landlord requires in order to be able to discharge his obligation to provide a written account of the fire protection in the building to the municipality in accordance with the Act (2003:775) on Protection Against Accidents.

Liability for damage to the property The Tenant is liable for damage to the property that occurs as a result of, or as a consequence of, criminal attack against the Tenant, the Tenant’s business or premises, e.g. attempted burglary, arson or causing explosions.

The Tenant’s payment obligation for damage of the type referred to in this paragraph is limited to what is not compensated through the Landlord’s insurance, e.g. own risk. 17. Reconstructions and changes during the lease term The Tenant is only entitled to cause reconstruction and fixtures & fittings work to be undertaken in the premises following written agreement with the Landlord. The Tenant shall thereupon obtain the requisite permits from the authorities. The Tenant shall, prior to undertaking such reconstruction and fixtures & fittings work, hand over drawings and descriptions to the Landlord for examination and approval. The Tenant shall appoint consultants and contractors approved by the Landlord. The Tenant is responsible for such reconstruction and fixtures & fittings work not damaging the building or giving rise to increased costs for the Landlord.

Signs The Tenant has set up a sign programme for the property. The Tenant has the right to set up a sign by the entrance that is normal for the activity as well as one (1) sign on the facade in accordance with the outline in annexe 5, on condition that the Tenant follows the sign programme and has obtained the requisite permits from the authorities concerned. The sign proposal shall be approved by the Landlord before application for planning permission for the sign is submitted, whereupon it shall be noted that the Landlord shall have acceptable reasons for not approving the sign. The Tenant shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the sign. Appendix 1 - Special Provisions 6(6) Appendix 1 NCC Special Provisions Upon the Landlord’s maintenance of the facade the Tenant shall, if necessary, take down the sign during the requisite time. Upon moving out it is incumbent upon the Tenant to restore the house facade to an acceptable condition. 19. Right to reduction The Tenant has no right to reduction of rent for obstacles or detriment in respect of the right of use as a consequence of the Landlord causing normal maintenance and normal reconstructions to be made in respect of the leased premises or the property in general. It is, however, incumbent upon the Landlord to notify the Tenant in good time with regard to the nature and scope of the work as well as when and for how long the work is to be carried out. 20. Interruptions in the property The Tenant is aware, and accepts, that after moving in construction work may be undertaken in other premises in the building. The Landlord shall, however, give due consideration to the Tenant’s activity and, as far as possible, limit any negative effect. 21. Reservation The leasing contract is first binding when both parties have signed the contract and both parties have each received their copies of the signed contract. 22. Interpretation precedence In the event of conflict between provisions in the Swedish Property Federation’s form for leasing contracts and these special provisions, interpretation precedence applies to these special provisions.
