In 2014, we established one additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). In 2015, we established oneadditional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Taiwan Ltd (Taiwan). In 2015, we established a 51% majority owned consolidated subsidiary: PronodeTechnologies AB (Sweden). In 2016, we entered into a joint venture: Neoeye AB (Sweden). 4 Strategy and Focus Areas Our customers use touch and gesture enabling technology to grow their businesses, drive efficiencies, and gain competitive advantages. In this interactiveworld, cost effective and robust touch and gesture technology is a strategic asset and is increasingly distributed across an expanding number of products. Weunderstand how touch and gesture features can help deliver the outcomes our customers want to achieve and our strategy is to deliver proven technology so ourcustomers can bring products to market that provide an optimal user experience. Over the past year, we added a new business unit to design, manufacture and sell embedded sensors to our business-to-business customers who integratethem into their products. We previously only offered licensed touch technology designs. An important piece of our new strategy has been the development of anautomated manufacturing and production system that now is in full operation. Our ability to manufacture fully integrated sensor modules reduce our customers’time to market while providing us a path to further growth. Over the past year, we also have added a new business unit to design, manufacture and sell our own branded consumer electronics products. AirBar is ourfirst consumer product. Our goal is to continue to be a leader in touch technology while transitioning current licensing customers into our embedded sensors and expanding tonew markets where touch and gesture interface provides a competitive advantage. We intend to continue innovating through the introduction of next-generationproducts that offer better price and performance and architectural advantages compared to our competitors. We intend to execute on this strategy through portfoliotransformation, internal innovation, and co-development of products with our customers and the building of strategic partnerships. Business Model We derive revenues through technology licensing and selling embedded sensors and consumer products. We operate in the business-to-business andbusiness-to-consumer markets. Licensing As of December 31, 2016, we had forty-one technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Our licensing customer base isprimarily in the automotive, printer, specialized tablet and e-reader markets. Sixteen of our licensing customers are currently shipping products that embed ourtouch and gesture technology. We anticipate other customers will initiate product shipments throughout 2017 and in future years as they complete final productdevelopment and release cycles. Customer product development and release cycles typically take between 6 months to 36 months. We earn our license fees on aper unit basis when our customers ship products using our technology. 5 We also offer engineering consulting services to our licensing customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. Typically, our customers require engineeringsupport during the development and initial manufacturing phase for their products using our technology. In late 2016, we stopped entering into new license agreements with customers. However, we anticipate continuing to earn license fees from our currentlicense customers. Our plan is to transition current customers with license agreements to purchase agreements using our sensor modules. This conversion process isexpected to take several years. Sensor Module In 2015, we completed development on zForce AIR. This optical interactive touch and gesture enabling technology led to the development of a series ofstandardized sensors that provide our customers with an easy to install touch and gesture enabling solution in a senor hardware module. During 2016, we invested in developing a new robotic manufacturing process designed specifically for zForce AIR module optical sensing technologyand in the last quarter of 2016 we started mass production of our first sensor modules. Industry specific standardized sensor modules using a common technologyplatform will allow us to enter and compete in numerous markets without being encumbered with the project specific custom design solutions of our licensingbusiness. We currently have signed development agreements with customers in the automotive market to embed our sensor modules in steering wheels and entrysystem products. We expect the integration of our sensor modules will continue to gain momentum as we expand our product offerings. Over time, we expect themajority of our revenue to be derived from the sale of sensor modules. Consumer Products In 2016, we developed our first consumer product, AirBar. As a plug and play accessory, AirBar enables touch and gesture functionality for notebookcomputers. AirBar is powered by one of our sensor modules. We produce the sensor modules for AirBar at our manufacturing facility in Sweden. Salutica Allied Solutions (“Salutica”) in Malaysia provides the finalproduct assembly, packaging and distribution fulfillment for AirBar. Our strategy has been to focus production of AirBar on Windows-based 15.6 inch display notebook PCs, which is the largest addressable market for non-touch computers. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we started mass production of the 15.6 inch version of AirBar and began initial shipments to customers in theUnited States and Europe. We also are rolling out AirBar versions for 13.3 inch and 14 inch Windows-based notebook PCs and a version for the 13.3 inch AppleMacBook Air. Our plan is to continue to expand our AirBar portfolio to include additional sizes and devices. Markets Automotive The automobile is the latest frontier using interactive and sensing technology to interact with the driver, passengers and other vehicles. The market forsensing technology is growing every year as vehicles become more complex and display sizes become larger and curved. Touch and gesture interface andsensing applications are becoming standard equipment in all vehicles. In 2016, our fourteen automotive OEM customers had a total of thirty-six automobile models using our touch technology in their infotainment systems.The majority of these automobiles are sold in China and include SUVs (Boojun 560 and Haval H6) and two top-selling sedans (Chevrolet Cruze and BuickExcelle). In the fourth quarter of 2014, Volvo launched their new XC90 incorporating a 9.7 inch display using our touch technology. Our touch technology isalso deployed in Volvo models launched in 2016, the S90 and V90. The Volvo V90 Cross Country launched in early 2017 is also equipped with our touchtechnology. The Volvo XC90 and S90 infotainment systems have received awards citing properties such as responsiveness and gloved operation. 6 We believe that our new sensor modules are positioned to make further inroads in the global automotive market by offering simple and easyintegration and ultimately providing brighter, more readable displays, with a full operating temperature range that are easily usable while wearing gloves. We are currently actively engaged with automotive OEM and Tier 1 suppliers to the automotive market in the development of the following: ●Our zForce DRIVE sensor technology enables high fidelity detection of hands and fingers positions on the steering wheel. This helps create a saferand more natural interaction with the automobile’s systems and the driver’s smart phone to decrease driver distraction. In 2015, we entered into anagreement with Autoliv Development AB, a leading supplier of safety products for the automotive industry, to explore and industrialize our zForcetechnology for the steering wheel. Self and assisted driving cars with zForce DRIVE sensors have been publicly displayed at CES 2016 and 2017. ●Our zForce AIR technology is being deployed in door handles and other exterior parts of the automobile to enable keyless entry and automation ofdoor functions. In June 2016, we entered into a joint venture with a Swedish based eye-tracking company SMART EYE AB. By combining our technologies, we planto bring multi-chip modules to the market for the consumer and automotive markets. Consumer Electronics Printers and Office Equipment Photo printers and printers combining printer/scanner/fax functions typically require feature-rich menus and settings to deliver an optimal user experience,and printer OEMs are increasingly replacing mechanical buttons and old style basic resistive touch displays with higher performance touch interactive displays. Wehave signed license agreements with five of the leading global printers and office equipment OEMs including Hewlett Packard (“HP”) and Samsung. HP startedshipping the first consumer printer with our touch technology integrated in early 2014 and today many of their printer models with interactive displays are usingour technology. Samsung and other major customers started shipping printers with our technology in late 2016 and in the first quarter 2017. During 2016, ourcustomers shipped 8.8 million printers. HP has cumulatively shipped over 16 million printers using our touch technology since their first models started shipping inmid-2014. Over the next few years, we expect our printer customers to transition from licensing our touch technology to purchasing and embedding our new sensormodules as new printers are designed and deployed. E-Readers and Tablets Our touch technology is widely used in e-readers. Since 2011, over 26 million e-readers and tablets have been shipped containing our touch technology bycustomers such as Amazon, Kobo, Deutsche Telekom, Barnes & Noble and Sony. During 2016, our customers shipped more than 2.7 million e-readers and tablets. 7 In 2016, we began working with e-reader customers on a new generation low cost touch sensor using our zForce AIR technology. In the first quarter of2017, we received our first order for sensor modules to be embedded in a larger form factor e-reader that is expected to begin production mid-2017. AirBar Our first branded consumer product using our sensor modules is AirBar. AirBar is a plug and play USB connected touch sensor for Windows 8 andWindows 10 notebooks and currently supports 13.3, 14 and 15.6 inch displays. AirBar can also be used with certain Chromebooks. At CES in January 2016, weannounced AirBar for 13.3 inch display MacBook Air. In 2016, we signed distribution agreements with Ingram Micro, the world’s largest technology distribution company to provide inventory and logisticalmanagement for our consumer products. Our agreements cover distribution of our consumer products in the United States, Europe, Asia, and India. Ingram Microprovides inventory and fulfillment services for many of the largest global web-based and brick and mortar technology retailers. End-customers can buy AirBarfrom Amazon.com, Amazon in China, India, Mexico, Canada, Germany and the UK, Best Buy, NewEgg, and Walmart. In the second quarter of 2017, we anticipate expanding the availability of AirBar with direct shipments to Ingram Micro in India to provide service toFlipkart.com and Amazon in India. Dell.com has informed us that it intends to start offering AirBar through its web stores in the United States before expanding toits web stores in Europe and India. We also expect begin shipments to JD.com in China. We plan to implement a marketing plan to increase awareness and building the AirBar brand beginning in the second quarter of 2017. Product Backlog Our AirBar product backlog at March 10, 2017 was approximately $356,000. The product backlog includes orders confirmed for products planned to beshipped within 90 days to Ingram Micro. Our cycle time between order and shipment is generally short and customers occasionally change delivery schedules.Additionally, orders can be canceled without significant penalties. As a result of these factors, we do not believe that our product backlog, as of any particular date,is necessarily indicative of actual product revenue for any future period. Distribution, Sales and Marketing Licensing In our licensing business, we consider OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to be our primary customers. OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers determine the designrequirements and make the overall decision regarding the use of our user interface and touch technology in their products. The use and pricing of our user interfaceand touch technology are governed by a technology licensing agreement. 8 Our licensing agreements historically resulted from sales efforts by our senior management, design engineers, and sales personnel interacting with ourpotential customers’ decision-makers throughout the product development and order process. We stopped marketing and sales of licensing agreements in late 2016. Sensor Modules and Consumer Products In our sensor module business, we consider OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to be our primary customers. Our customers purchase a standardized sensormodule that comes in different sizes with different interfaces. We produce the sensor modules in Sweden by our majority owned subsidiary, Pronode, in anautomated manufacturing process. The sales of our sensors are governed by a product purchase agreement. In our consumer products business, we manufacture the sensors for AirBar in Sweden by Pronode and the final assembly, packaging and distributionfulfillment is performed by Salutica. From the Salutica facility, AirBar is shipped to distributors such as Ingram Micro in various global locations. Our saleschannel is primarily with key web retailers in each of our global markets such as Amazon.com, Amazon in China, India, Mexico, Canada, Germany and the UK,Best Buy, NewEgg, and Walmart. Our sales force and marketing operations are managed out of our office in Stockholm, Sweden. Our current sales force is comprised of sales officeslocated in the United States, Sweden, South Korea, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. Our sales are normally negotiated and executed in U.S. Dollars. Customers As of December 31, 2016, we have entered into forty-one technology license agreements compared to forty and thirty-five license agreements as ofDecember 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The products related to these license agreements include e-readers, tablets, commercial and consumer printers,automotive consoles and GPS devices. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we began selling our new sensor modules to new customers while starting the process to convert our existing licensecustomer to sensor modules. In the initial rollout during the fourth quarter of 2016, we shipped approximately 9,000 AirBar units. Our customers are primarily located in the United States, Europe and Asia. As of December 31, 2016, three customers represented approximately 59% of our consolidated accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015, three customers represented approximately 78% of our consolidated accounts receivable.

Capacitive and Resistive Technology The two dominant types of touch technologies available are capacitive and resistive. A capacitive sensor reacts to a conductive object by sensing thedifference in capacitance between two areas on the sensor surface or between the finger and the ground. Capacitive touch sensors are suitable if the user hasunimpeded contact between the finger and the screen. A resistive touch sensor is pressure-sensitive. Resistive touch sensors are suitable for detailed work and forselection of particular spot on a screen. Resistive technology is not suitable for sweeping gestures or motion, such as zooming in and out. Optical Sensing Technology Our optical technology works by projecting laser beams across a surface, through the air or any other detection area without any need for an extraphysical layer to be added. It can be activated by using any object such as fingers, passive pens or thick gloves. Our optical sensing technology also can bedesigned for waterproof applications and can provide sensing functionality when fully submerged. We believe our optical sensing technology has a number of key advantages over other touch sensing technologies: ●It does not require additional layers that may dilute the image quality of the display or cause unwanted reflections and glare making reading thedisplay difficult. ●It is more responsive than capacitive sensing technology and, as a result, is quicker and less prone to misread. ●It requires no downward pressure on the activation surface in order to select or move items. ●It is cost-efficient due to the lower cost of materials and simple and high yield manufacturing process. ●It enables multiple methods of input, such as continuous tracking of multiple fingers, taps to hit keys, sweeps to zoom in or out, and gestures to writetext or symbols directly on the touch surface. ●It works in all environments and does not require any special properties from the object used. 11 Competition The market for touch technology is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving standards and new product releasesby our competitors. We believe that implementation of resistive touch technologies in consumer devices is declining because of limitations in sweep gestures, limitations onindustrial design, and the negative impact on screen clarity due to film overlays. Neonode is one of few companies that offer optical sensing technology in high volume. Our major competition are companies offering projectedcapacitive (“PCAP”) technologies. PCAP is a prevalent standard in mobiles and tablets offering finger based touch and industrial design flexibility. PCAP hasmany suppliers competing to offer the same solution with price being a major differentiation point. OEMs regularly change PCAP suppliers in order to maintainthe best pricing. Our competitors, and the interface technology we believe they offer, include the following: Company Technology Synaptics Capacitive; In-cell Cypress Capacitive; In-cell Tyco Electronics Capacitive; Resistive; Surface acoustic wave Touch International Resistive; Capacitive We believe that the only current competitor to our AirBar product for PC notebooks is PCAP touch solution embedded during the initial OEMmanufacturing process. We do not believe that there are any competitors currently capable of adding plug and play touch screen functions comparable to AirBarfor non-touch Windows 8 and Windows 10 notebooks. Controller Chips Our licensing customers must use our Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) controllers designed specifically for our optical sensingtechnology. Our sensor modules also utilize ASIC controller chips. The NN1001, the first generation controller ASIC, was developed pursuant to an Analog Device Development Agreement between Neonode and TexasInstruments entered into on February 4, 2011 and effective as of January 24, 2010. The NN1001 began shipping to our licensing customers in 2012. The NN1002, the second generation controller ASIC, was developed pursuant to an Analog Device Development Agreement between Neonode and TexasInstruments entered into on April 25, 2013 effective December 6, 2012. The NN1002 began shipping to our licensing customers in 2015. The NN1003 is the third generation controller ASIC and was developed by ST Microelectronics. The NN1003 is designed for high speed sensingapplications. The NN1003 began shipping in 2016 and is powering the sensor used in AirBar. The NN1001, NN1002, and NN1003 controllers offer numerous design advantages: ●The NN1001 and NN1002 have scanning speeds of 1000 Hz (latency down to 1ms). ●The NN1002 supports advanced power management and enables touch detection even when the device is in sleep or off mode. ●The NN1002 consumes less than 1mW at 100Hz. ●The NN1002 and NN1003 can be synchronized to touch enable larger areas by using multiple chips. ●The NN1002 and NN1003 support simultaneous scanning leading to higher speeds and reduced power consumption. 12 Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect the proprietary rights in our technology.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase, hold, or sell our common stock, you should considercarefully the risks described below in addition to the cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere and the other information contained in this AnnualReport and in our other filings with the SEC, including subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the onlyones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any ofthese known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be seriously harmed.This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Risks Related To Our Business We have limited experience manufacturing products and our entry into the hardware market may not be successful. Our business model in recent years has focused solely on licensing our touch technology. In 2016, we began to transition away from licensing towardmanufacturing sensor touch modules including AirBar. There is no assurance that this entry into hardware will result in market acceptance or meaningful revenues.The success of our sensor modules will depend on customer response and our management’s ability to execute on a new business offering. Our ability tomanufacture sensor modules is subject to numerous risks, including: ●quality and reliability of product components that we source from third-party suppliers; ●our inability to secure product components in a timely manner, in sufficient quantities or on commercially reasonable terms; ●our failure to increase production capacity or volumes to meet demand; ●difficulty identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers for components in a timely manner; and ●establishing and maintaining effective distribution channels. These risks are likely to be exacerbated by our limited experience with the manufacturing processes. As demand for our products increases, we will haveto invest additional resources to purchase components, hire and train employees and enhance our manufacturing processes. If we fail to increase our productioncapacity efficiently, our sales may not increase in line with our expectations and our operating margins could fluctuate or decline. We are dependent on a limited number of customers. Our license revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were earned from sixteen OEM and Tier 1 customers. We also earned AirBar revenues fromone distributor, Ingram Micro and direct sales through our web site www.air.bar. We earned NRE from ten customers for the year ended December 31, 2016.During the year ended December 31, 2016, three customers represented approximately 60% of our consolidated net revenues. Our customer concentration maychange significantly from period-to-period depending on a customer’s product cycle and changes in our industry. In addition, our customer composition maychange as we transition from licensing our technology to selling our technology in embedded sensors. The response of customers to our sensor products, loss of amajor customer, a reduction in net revenues of a major customer for any reason, or a failure of a major customer to fulfill its financial or other obligations due to uscould have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and future revenue stream. 14 We are dependent on the ability of our customers to design, manufacture and sell their products that incorporate our touch technology. We historically generated revenue through technology licensing agreements with companies which must be successful in designing, manufacturing andselling their products that incorporate our touch technology. The majority of our license fees earned in 2016 were from customer shipments of printer products. Themajority of our license fees earned in 2015 and 2014 were from customer shipments of e-reader and tablet products. Although we are transitioning to a businessmodel of selling sensors, we expect to continue to receive licensing revenue from current customers who have products in their development cycle. If ourcustomers are not able to design, manufacture or sell their products, or are delayed in producing their products, our revenues, profitability, and liquidity, as well asour brand image, may be adversely affected. The length of a customer’s product development and release cycle depends on many factors outside of our control and could cause us to incursignificant expenses without offsetting revenues, or revenues that vary significantly from quarter to quarter. The development and release cycle for customer products is lengthy and unpredictable. Our customers often undertake significant evaluation and designin the qualification of our products, which contributes to a lengthy product release cycle. The typical product development and release cycle is six to thirty-sixmonths. The development and release cycle may be longer in some cases, particularly for automotive vehicle products. There is no assurance that a customer willadopt our technology after the evaluation or design phase. The lengthy and variable development and release cycle for products may also have a negative impact onthe timing of our revenues, causing our revenues and results of operations to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. We and our license customers rely upon component suppliers to sell products containing our technology. Under our licensing model, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers manufacture or contract to manufacture controller chips containing our touch technology. As analternative to sourcing controller chips on their own, our customers may opt to use customized optical controller chips developed in collaboration with TexasInstruments or ST Microelectronics designed specifically for our technology. As part of their product development process, our customers must qualify the chipcomponents used in our products. Under our sensor model, we use controller chips supplied by ST Microelectronics or Texas Instruments in our module products.If the controller chips provided by Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics or another supplier experience quality control problems, our technology may bedisqualified by one or more of our customers and our supply chain may be disrupted. The dependence on third parties to supply controller chips with our touchtechnology exposes us to a number of risks including their inability to obtain an adequate supply of components, the failure to meet our customer requirements, ortheir failure to remain in business or adjust to market conditions. If we and our customers are unable to obtain controller chips with our touch technology, we maynot be able to meet demand, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If we fail to develop and introduce new touch technology successfully and in a cost effective and timely manner, we will not be able to competeeffectively 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 touch technologythat our customers and end users choose to buy. If we are unsuccessful at developing new touch technology that are appealing to our customers and end users withacceptable functionality, quality, prices and terms, we will not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer. The development ofnew touch technology is very difficult and requires high levels of innovation and competence. The development process is also lengthy and costly. If we fail toanticipate our end users’ needs or technological trends accurately or if we are unable to complete development in a cost effective and timely fashion, we will beunable to introduce new touch technology into the market or successfully compete with other providers. As we introduce new or enhanced touch technology orintegrate new touch technology into new or existing customer products, we face risks including, among other things, disruption in customers’ ordering patterns,inability to deliver new touch technology to meet customers’ demand, possible product and technology defects, and potentially unfamiliar sales and supportenvironments. Premature announcements or leaks of new products, features, or technologies may exacerbate some of these risks. Our failure to manage thetransition to newer touch technology or the integration of newer technology into new or existing customer products could adversely affect our business, results ofoperations, and financial condition. 15 Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result of our limited operating history and the nature of the markets in which we compete, it is extremely difficult for us to forecast accurately. Webase our current and future expense levels largely on our investment plans and estimates of future events, although certain of our expense levels are, to a largeextent, fixed. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfallin revenues relative to our planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we are subject to the following factors, among others, that may negatively affect and cause fluctuations in our operating results: ●the announcement or introduction of new products or technologies by our competitors; ● our ability to upgrade and develop our infrastructure to accommodate growth; ●our ability to attract and retain key personnel in a timely and cost effective manner; ●technical difficulties; ●the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and ●general economic conditions as well as economic conditions specific to the touchscreen industry. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain pricing, service, or marketingdecisions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Due to the foregoing factors, our revenuesand operating results are and will remain difficult to forecast. We have had a history of losses and may require additional capital to fund our operations, which capital may not be available on commerciallyattractive terms or at all. We have experienced substantial net losses in each fiscal period since our inception. These net losses resulted from a lack of substantial revenues and thesignificant costs incurred in the development and acceptance of our technology. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to implementour business plan. If our operations do not become cash flow positive, we may be forced to seek sources of capital to continue operations. No assurances can begiven that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available when needed on acceptableterms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plan, which could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, and financialcondition. We must significantly enhance our sales and technology development organizations. We will need to improve the effectiveness and breadth of our sales efforts in order to increase market awareness and sales of our technology, especially aswe expand into new market areas. Competition for qualified sales personnel is intense, and we may not be able to hire the kind and number of sales personnel weare targeting. Likewise, our efforts to improve and refine our technology require skilled engineers and programmers. Competition for professionals capable ofexpanding our research and development efforts is intense due to the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills. If we are unable toidentify, hire, or retain qualified sales, marketing, and technical personnel, our ability to achieve future revenue may be adversely affected. We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may be unable to manage our growth effectively. Our failure to manage growth effectively could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Weanticipate that expansion of our organization will be required to address internal growth to handle licensing and research activities. This expansion may place asignificant strain on management, operational, and financial resources. To manage our expected growth, we must both improve our existing operational andfinancial systems, procedures, and controls, and implement new systems, procedures, and controls. Management may be unable to hire, train, retain, motivate, andmanage the necessary personnel, or to identify, manage and exploit existing and potential strategic relationships and market opportunities. We may make acquisitions and strategic investments that are dilutive to existing shareholders, resulting in unanticipated accounting charges orotherwise adversely affect our results of operations. We may decide to grow our business through business combinations or other acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies that allow us tocomplement our existing touch technology offerings, expand our market coverage, increase our workforce or enhance our technological capabilities. If we makeany future acquisitions, we could issue stock that would dilute our shareholders’ percentage ownership or we may incur substantial debt, reduce our cash reservesand/or assume contingent liabilities. Further, acquisitions and strategic investments may result in material charges, adverse tax consequences, substantialdepreciation, deferred compensation charges, in-process research and development charges, and the amortization of amounts related to deferred compensation andidentifiable purchased intangible assets or impairment of goodwill. Any of these could negatively impact our results of operations. 16 We are dependent on the services of our key personnel. Our senior management team consists of two executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer is one of the founders of our Company. The unplanned lossof the services of any member of management could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects. Our revenues and growth are dependent on licensing fees from our intellectual property. 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 with 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 applications for registration may not be allowed, or othersmay challenge the validity or scope of our patents. Even if our patents registrations are issued and maintained, these patents may not be of adequate scope orbenefit to us or may be held invalid and unenforceable against third parties. We may need to expend significant resources to secure and protect our intellectualproperty. The loss of intellectual property rights may adversely impact our ability to generate revenues and expand our business. If third parties infringe upon our intellectual property, we may expend significant resources enforcing our rights or suffer competitive injury. Existing laws, contractual provisions and remedies afford only limited protection for our intellectual property. We may be required to spend significantresources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights. Effective policing of the unauthorized use of our technology or intellectual property is difficult andlitigation 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. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject toinherent uncertainties due to, among other things, the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in assertingour intellectual property rights. Attempts may be made to copy or reverse engineer aspects of our technology or to obtain and use information that we regard asproprietary. We may not be able to detect infringement and may lose competitive position in the market before they do so. In addition, competitors may designaround our technology or develop competing technologies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized thirdparty 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 sellour technology. The laws of foreign countries may not provide protection of our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, whichmay make it more difficult for us to protect our intellectual property. As part of our business strategy, we target customers and relationships with suppliers and original equipment manufacturers in countries with largepopulations and propensities for adopting new technologies. However, many of these countries do not address misappropriation of intellectual property nor deterothers from developing similar, competing technologies or intellectual property. Effective protection of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and otherintellectual property may be unavailable or limited in some foreign countries. In particular, the laws of some foreign countries in which we do business may notprotect 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 inthese regions from infringing our intellectual property rights, which could reduce our competitive advantage and ability to compete in those regions and negativelyimpact our business. We have an international presence in countries and must manage currency risks. A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (the currency in which our consolidated financial statements arereported), primarily the Swedish Krona and, to a lesser extent, the Euro, Japanese Yen, Korean Won and Taiwan Dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2016,our revenues from North America, Asia, and Europe were 57%, 24%, and 19% respectively. We incur a significant portion of our expenses in Swedish Krona,including a significant portion of our research and development expenses 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 notcurrently 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 deemsappropriate. 17 If we are unable to detect material weaknesses in our internal control, our financial reporting and our Company may be adversely affected. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end ofeach fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-Kfor that fiscal year. Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, management’s assessment of our internalcontrols over financial reporting. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our internalcontrols over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, notabsolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls canprovide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud involving a company have been, or will be, detected. The design of any system of controlsis based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goalsunder all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliancewith policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not bedetected. We cannot assure you that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in our internal controls in thefuture. A material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting would require management and our independent registered public accounting firm toconsider our internal controls as ineffective. If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, we may experience a loss of publicconfidence, which could have an adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock. Risks Related to Owning Our Stock Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions that could delay or prevent a change incontrol. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges ofthose 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 adverselyaffected 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 moredifficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Furthermore, certain other provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylawsmay 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 thecompanies issuing the securities. These broad market fluctuations may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. You may not be able to resell yourshares 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 performanceor prospects, and other factors. Some 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 technology; ●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; 18 ●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 technology; ●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 industrygenerally. Future sales of our common stock by our stockholders could negatively affect our stock price. In August 2016, we sold 5,027,352 shares of common stock and 3,600,000 pre-funded warrants to institutional and accredited investors including 427,352shares sold to the chief executive officer and a senior vice president of our company. We also issued warrants to purchase up to 4,313,676 shares of our commonstock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The warrants are exercisable until February 17, 2022. None of the warrants have been exercised as of March 10, 2017.Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by insiders or large stockholders, or the perception that these sales might occur,could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Future sales of our common stock by us could adversely affect its price, and our future capital-raising activities could involve the issuance of equitysecurities, which would dilute your investment and could result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock. Our long-term success is dependent on us obtaining sufficient capital to fund our operations and to develop our touch technology, and bringing ourtechnology to the worldwide market to obtain sufficient sales volume to be profitable. We may sell securities in the public or private equity markets if and whenconditions 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 theperception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. We may issueadditional common stock in future financing transactions or as incentive compensation for our executive management and other key personnel, consultants andadvisors. Issuing any equity securities would be dilutive to the equity interests represented by our then-outstanding shares of common stock. The market price forour common stock could decrease as the market takes into account the dilutive effect of any of these issuances. Furthermore, we may enter into financingtransactions at prices that represent a substantial discount to the market price of our common stock. A negative reaction by investors and securities analysts to anydiscounted sale of our equity securities could result in a decline in the trading price of our common stock. If securities analysts do not publish research or if securities analysts or other third parties publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, theprice of our common stock could decline. The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the research and reports that securities analysts and other third parties choose to publishabout us. We do not control these analysts or other third parties. The price of our common stock could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade ourcommon stock or if one or more securities analysts or other third parties publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us or cease publishing reports about us.

Overview Neonode Inc. develops user interface and optical interactive touch and gesture solutions. Our patented technology offers multiple features including theability to sense an object’s size, depth, velocity, pressure, and proximity to any type of surface. In 2010 we began licensing to Original Equipment Manufacturers(“OEMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers who embed our technology into products they develop, manufacture and sell. Since 2010, our licensing customers have soldapproximately 45 million devices that use our technology. In 2016, we augmented our licensing business and started to manufacture sensor modules that incorporate our technology. We sell these standardizedembedded sensors to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers for use in their products. We also sell Neonode branded products, such as AirBar, through distributors and directlyto consumers. AirBar is a consumer hardware device that connects through a USB port to enable touch functionality for non-touch notebooks. As of December 31, 2016, we had forty-one technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. This compares with forty and thirty-five technology license agreements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we had sixteen customers usingour touch technology in products that were being shipped to their customers. The majority of our license fees earned in 2016, 2015 and 2014 were from customershipments of printers, automobiles and e-readers. As of December 31, 2016, our license customers in the automotive and printer markets have not released all theproducts that are currently in development and that are planned to go into production and market release over the next 12 to 24 months. We anticipate that ourlicense fees will continue to increase during 2017 and 2018 as our current license customers initiate product shipments. In late 2016, we stopped entering into new license agreements. However, we anticipate continuing to earn license fees from our existing licensecustomers. Our plan is to transition current customers with license agreements to purchase agreements using our sensor modules. This conversion process isexpected to take several years. We intend to continue expanding our sensor module product offerings in 2017, including new sensors for delivery to the automotive and consumermarkets in 2017. We expect that over time the sales of sensors modules will constitute the majority of our revenue. 23 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America(“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden), a 51% majorityowned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. The noncontrolling interests are reported below net loss including noncontrolling interests under the heading “Netloss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of operations, below comprehensive loss under the heading “Comprehensive incomeloss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and shown as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in theconsolidated balance sheets. See “Noncontrolling Interests” for further discussion. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated inconsolidation. The consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 include our accounts and those ofour wholly owned subsidiaries, Neonode Technologies AB (Sweden), Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.), Neonode Japan Inc. (Japan), NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.),Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden) and Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). The consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for theyears then ended include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Neonode Technologies AB (Sweden), Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.), NeonodeJapan Inc. (Japan), NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.), Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden), Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea) and Neonode Taiwan Ltd.(Taiwan), as well as Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden), a 51% majority owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. In June 2016, we entered into a Joint Venture (“JV”) with a Swedish based eye-tracking company SMART EYE AB. By combining our technologies, weplan to bring multi-chip modules to the market for the consumer and automotive markets that provide new opportunities for interaction with cars and devices. Thename of this JV is Neoeye AB (“Neoeye”). We use the equity method of accounting to record our investments in the common stock of each entity in which Neonode has the ability to exercisesignificant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest. Under the equity method, our investment is originally included in equity interests at cost, and isadjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee, in our consolidated balance sheets; our share of net income (loss) is reported in ourconsolidated statements of operations according to our equity ownership in each entity. The accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financialstatements. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financialestimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances. The historical experience and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the reported carryingvalues of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differfrom these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following are critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates usedin the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and assumptions that affect, at the date ofthe consolidated financial statements, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts ofrevenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, provisions for uncollectible receivablesand sales returns, warranty liabilities, the achievement of substantive milestones and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for purposes ofrevenue recognition (or deferral of revenue), net realizable value of inventory, recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived assets, the valuationallowance related to our deferred tax assets and the fair value of options and warrants issued for stock-based compensation. 24 Revenue Recognition Licensing Revenues: We derive revenue from the licensing of internally developed intellectual property (“IP”). We enter into IP licensing agreements that generally providelicensees the right to incorporate our IP components in their products with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. Fees under these agreements may includelicense fees relating to our IP and royalties payable following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating the licensed technology. The license forour IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support. We follow U.S. GAAP for revenue recognition as per unit royaltyproducts are distributed or licensed by our customers. For technology license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of theunderlying technology, we recognize technology license revenue when: (1) we enter into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license oftechnology; (2) the customer distributes or licenses the products; (3) the customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significantuncertainties; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Our customers report to us the quantities of products distributed or licensed by them after the end of thereporting period stipulated in the contract, generally 30 to 45 days after the end of the month or quarter. We recognize licensing revenue in the period in whichroyalty reports are received, rather than the period in which the products are distributed or to which the license relates. Explicit return rights are not offered to customers. There were no returns associated with license agreements through December 31, 2016. Engineering Services: We may sell engineering consulting services to our customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. We recognize revenue from these services when all of thefollowing conditions are met: (1) evidence existed of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our services wereperformed and risk of loss passed to the customer; (3) we completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue to which we were entitledwas fixed or determinable; and (5) we believed it was probable that we would be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or moreof these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue. Generally, we recognize revenue as the engineering services stipulated under the contract are completed and accepted by our customers. Engineeringservices are performed under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”) with a customer. The deliverables and payment terms stipulated under the SOW provideguidance on the project revenue recognition. Revenues from contracts that are short-term in nature and related costs that are difficult to estimate are accounted for under the completed contractmethod. Revenues from contracts with substantive defined milestones that we have determined are reasonable, relevant to all the deliverables and payment termsin the SOW that are commensurate with the efforts required to achieve the milestones are recognized under the milestone recognition method. Estimated losses on all SOW projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident. In the years ended December 31, 2015, $165,000 wasrecorded as cost of sales due to expected losses related to two SOW projects. In the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014, no losses were recorded as cost ofsales due to expected losses on SOW projects. 25 Optical Sensor Modules Revenues: We derive revenue from the sales of sensor modules hardware products sold directly to our OEM and Tier 1 customers who embed our hardware intotheir products and from sales of branded consumer products that incorporate our sensor modules sold to distributors or directly to end users. These distributors aregenerally given business terms that allow them to return a portion of inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate in various cooperativemarketing programs. We enter into sales agreements that generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty provisions. U.S. GAAP allowscompanies to make reasonable aggregations and approximations of returns data with regard to returns. Our returns and warranty experience to date has enabled usto make reasonable returns estimates, which are further supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenous transactions. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: ●Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Contracts, commercial agreements, and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine theexistence of an arrangement. ●Delivery has occurred. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. ●The fee is fixed or determinable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction andwhether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. ●Collectibility is reasonably assured. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checksand analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. As ourbusiness and offerings are expected to evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in sellingprices. We make sales to distributors and revenue from distributors is recognized based on a sell-through basis using sales and inventory information provided bythese distributors. Under the sell-through basis, accounts receivable are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment to the distributor as title to theinventory is transferred upon shipment, at which point we have a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. The associated sales and cost of salesare deferred and are included in deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheet. When the related product is sold by our distributors to their end customers, atwhich time the ultimate price we receive is known, we recognize previously deferred revenues as sales and cost of sales. Distributors participate in variouscooperative marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for these programs. If actual credits received bydistributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience, our revenue could be adverselyaffected. A reserve for future sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates. The reserve for future sales returns as of December 31,2016 was $0.1 million and was recorded as a reduction of our revenue and increase of deferred revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from thehistorical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected. Product Warranty The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability (in thousands): Twelve Months Ended December 31,2016 December 31, 2015 Balance at beginning of period $- $- Provisions for warranty issued 11 - Balance at end of period $11 $- We accrue for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales of sensor modules based on estimated costs. Our products are generally covered by a warranty fora period of 12 to 24 months from the customer receipt of the product. 26 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of ourcustomers to make required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. Whereappropriate, we obtain credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining or modifying its credit limits. We regularly evaluate thecollectability of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, we initiate dialogue withthe customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing,deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting its business, we record a specific allowance to reduce therelated 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 anallowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience withcustomers. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is theestimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Any adjustments to reducethe cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. As of December 31, 2016, our inventory consists primarily ofcomponents that will be used in the manufacturing of our first sensor module, AirBar. We segregate inventory for reporting purposes by raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Investment in Joint Venture We invested $3,000, a 50% interest in Neoeye AB. We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investment providesus the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we have an ownership interestin the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors, are considered indetermining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjustedto recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and will also be adjusted bycontributions to and distributions from Neoeye. We are not required to guarantee any obligations of the JV. There have been no operations of Neoeye throughDecember 31, 2016. Neoeye, as an unconsolidated equity investee, will recognize revenue from technology license agreements at the time a contract is entered into, the licensemethod is determined (paid-in-advance or on-going royalty), performance obligations under the license agreement are satisfied, and the realization of revenue isassured, which is generally upon the receipt of the license proceeds. Neoeye may at times enter into license agreements whereby contingent revenues arerecognized as one or more contractual milestones have been met. We review our investment in Neoeye to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.The primary factors we consider in our determination are the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of Neoeye. If a decline in value isdeemed to be other than temporary, we would recognize an impairment loss. Projects in Process Projects in process consist of costs incurred toward the completion of various projects for certain customers. These costs are primarily comprised of directengineering labor costs and project-specific equipment costs. These costs are capitalized on our balance sheet as an asset and deferred until revenue for eachproject is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. There were no costs capitalized in projects in process as of December 31, 2016. Costscapitalized in projects in process were $158,000 as of December 31, 2015. 27 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using thestraight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Estimated useful lives Computer equipment 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 years Equipment 7 years Equipment purchased under a capital lease is depreciated over the term of the lease, if that lease term is shorter than the estimated useful life. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains orlosses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Long-Lived Assets We assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with relevant accounting guidance. If the estimatedundiscounted future cash flow related to these assets decreases or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of theseassets. As of December 31, 2016, we believe there was no impairment of our long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will notchange or sufficient demand for our products and services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. Research and Development Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some externalconsultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements. Stock-Based Compensation Expense We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including share options, based on the estimated fairvalue of the award on the grant date, and recognize the value as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange forthe award, usually the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their estimated fair value. The measurement date for the fair estimated value for the equityinstruments issued is determined at the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached, or (2) the date atwhich the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the estimated fair value of the equity instrumentsis primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. The estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation is periodically re-measured andincome or expense is recognized during the vesting term. When determining stock-based compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrantsusing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Noncontrolling Interests We recognize noncontrolling interests as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent company’s equity. Noncontrollinginterests’ partners have less than 50% share of voting rights at any one of the subsidiary level companies. The amount of net income (loss) attributable tononcontrolling interests is included in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in a parent entity’sownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are treated as equity transactions if the parent entity retains its controlling financial interest.We recognize a gain or loss in net income (loss) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss is measured using the fair value of the noncontrollingequity investment on the deconsolidation date. Additionally, operating losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation creates a deficitbalance for the noncontrolling interest partner. 28 We provide either in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity, if presented, or in the notes to consolidated financial statements, a reconciliationat the beginning and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity (net assets), equity (net assets) attributable to the parent, and equity (net assets)attributable to the noncontrolling interest that separately discloses: (1)Net income or loss (2)Transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners. (3)Each component of other comprehensive income or loss Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and theTaiwan Dollar. The translation from Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won or the Taiwan Dollar to U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheetaccounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during theperiod. Gains or (losses) resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or (losses)resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations andwere $74,000, $62,000 and ($37,000) during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Foreign currency translation gains or (losses) were($217,000), ($103,000) and $138,000 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the years endedDecember 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-averagenumber of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of commonstock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 exclude the potentialcommon stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Our other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses arereflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income. Cash Flow Information Cash flows in foreign currencies have been converted to U.S. Dollars at an approximate weighted-average exchange rate for the respective reportingperiods. The weighted-average exchange rate for the consolidated statements of operations was as follows: Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Swedish Krona 8.55 8.43 6.86 Japanese Yen 108.75 121.03 105.84 South Korean Won 1,157.14 1,130.22 1,050.63 Taiwan Dollar 32.22 31.73 - Exchange rate for the consolidated balance sheets was as follows: Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 Swedish Krona 9.07 8.42 Japanese Yen 116.97 120.36 South Korean Won 1,205.11 1,174.67 Taiwan Dollar 32.28 32.84 Deferred Revenues We defer license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed and royaltyreports are received. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until such time as the engineering work has been completed and accepted by ourcustomers. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of deferred license fee revenue related to prepayments forfuture license fees from four and two customers, respectively. We defer AirBar revenues until distributors sell the AirBar to their end customers. As of December31, 2016, we had $0.1 million of deferred revenue from our AirBar sales. As of December 31, 2015, there was no deferred revenue from AirBar sales. As ofDecember 31, 2016 there were no deferred engineering development fees and a total of $0.4 million of deferred engineering development fee from one customer asof December 31, 2015. 29 New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “ Revenue fromContracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry specificrequirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process forcustomer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanceddisclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include thecapitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variableconsideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as acumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year to December15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date or forreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “ Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure ofUncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ”. The amendments in this update provide guidance in U.S. GAAP about management'sresponsibilities to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.The main provision of the amendments are for an entity's management, in connection with the preparation of financial statements, to evaluate whether there areconditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the datethat the financial statements are issued. Management's evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known or reasonably knowable at thedate the consolidated financial statements are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability tocontinue as a going concern, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the consolidated financial statements to understand all of the following: (1)principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management's plans);(2) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity's ability to meet its obligations; and (3) management's plansthat alleviated substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern or management's plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions orevents that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annualreporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. We adopted this pronouncement effective December 31, 2016 and haveincluded disclosure in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements based upon ASU No. 2014-15. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330)” (“ASU 2015-11”). The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require that an entitymeasure inventory within the scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course ofbusiness, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this update more closely align the measurement ofinventory in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the measurement of inventory in International Financial ReportingStandards. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this update should be appliedprospectively with early application permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11 effectiveSeptember 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), whicheliminates the current requirement for an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified balancesheet. Instead, the ASU requires deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and valuation allowances be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet. ASU2015-17 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption ispermitted. Additionally, this guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. We elected not to early adopt ASU 2015-17and are evaluating the effect of the adoption of this ASU to our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required recognize thefollowing for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease paymentsarising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, aspecified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.Early application is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of theearliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases thatexpired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We have not yet selected a transitionmethod and are currently assessing the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to theEquity Method of Accounting” (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when areporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016. We arecurrently evaluating the impact of this ASU to our consolidated financial statements. 30 In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-BasedPayment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxconsequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for annualreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to ourconsolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments”, (“ASU 2016-13”). The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based onhistorical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements. Results of Operations We develop user interface and optical interactive touch and gesture solutions. Since 2010, under our licensing agreements, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliershave sold approximately 45 million devices that use our technology. In 2016, we augmented our licensing business and started to manufacture and sellstandardized sensor modules that incorporate our technology.

In 2016, we added sales of sensor modules and consumer products to our business model. Ournew sensor modules allow our customers to plug the module directly into their touch console or other device and forgo the complex design and manufacturingphase associated with our licensing model. We now earn revenue from a combination of licensing plus selling our sensor modules and consumer products. We have focused on maintaining our current licensing customers and finalizing their designs for new products expected to be released over the coming 18months. We also made investments finalizing the design of selected sensor modules and setting-up our fully automated manufacturing facility in Sweden. We expect to continue to earn license fees in future years and anticipate these fees increasing in 2017 and into 2018 as customers release new productsthat embed our technology under a license agreement. We plan to convert our license customer to purchasing and embedding our sensor modules. License feeswere the majority of our total revenue in the past three years and increased 18.5% in 2016 as compared to 2015 primarily due to a 64% increase in license feesearned from our printer customers and a 126% increase in license fees earned from our automotive customers which was partially offset by a 49% decrease inlicense fees earned from our e-reader customers. License fees increased 123% in 2015 as compared to 2014 primarily due to a 165% increase in license fees earnedfrom our printer customers, 2,574% increase in license fees earned from our automotive customers and a 67% increase in license fees earned from our e-readercustomers. As of December 31, 2016, we had forty-one technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. This compares with forty and thirty-five technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sixteen of our customers are currentlyshipping products and we anticipate others will initiate product shipments as they complete their final product development and manufacturing cycle throughout2017 and onwards. In 2016, we started mass manufacturing and shipping our first branded consumer product using our sensor module, AirBar, in the United States andEurope. We have sales and distribution agreements with Ingram Micro for targeted markets. We expect sales to continue to increase in 2017 by growing ourmarket share combined with expansion to new markets, primarily India and Asia. We also expect to release additional sizes of AirBar for PC and expand AirBaroffering to certain Apple notebooks in early 2017. This is a new business for us and we may experience difficulties meeting our expectations due to manufacturingyields or through put, supply chain or component issues or lack of expected sales. In 2015, we entered into a joint development and cooperation agreement, with Autoliv to develop a new HMI sensing product for vehicle steering wheelapplications. As part of the agreement, we licensed our zForce DRIVE technology to Autoliv. The agreement required that Autoliv pay us an initial $1.5 millionand an additional $1.5 million in three staggered payments subject to and after achievement of project milestones during a twelve-month period. The initialpayment of $1.5 million was initially recorded as deferred revenue and was amortized to revenue during the twelve-month development period. The additional $1.5million was recognized as revenue as project milestones were completed. As of December 31, 2016, all payments related to completion of project milestones havebeen recognized as revenue. 32 Non-recurring engineering fees (“NRE”) decreased 58% in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to a decline of new license customers and related NRE designprojects. In 2016, 79% of our total NRE fees were earned from automotive project including the last milestone of the original Autoliv steering wheel project. Thesteering wheel project and others continue with our automotive customers. NRE fees increased 157% in 2015 as compared to 2014 primarily due to a 208%increase in NRE fees earned from automotive customers primarily Autoliv related to development of our interactive steering wheel plus a 349% increase in NRErelated to number new printer development projects for our printer customers. We expect to earn minimal NRE fees in 2017 and future years. Gross Margin Our combined total gross margin was 87% in 2016 compared to 66% in 2015. The increase in total gross margin in 2016 as compared to 2015 is primarilydue to license fees with a 100% gross margin are a higher percentage of our total revenue in 2016 compared to 2015. In 2016, license fees accounted for 82% oftotal revenue compared to 63% in 2015. NRE projects had a 25% gross margin in 2016 compared to 7% in 2015. Our cost of revenues for 2015 also included aone-time write-off of $1.2 million related to cost to develop our zForce PLUS platform as we now use zForce AIR in current and future development. The grossmargin is 66% in 2015 compared to 68% in 2014. The slight decrease in total gross margin in 2015 as compared to 2014 is primarily due to license fees are ahigher percentage of our total revenue in 2014 compared to 2015. In 2014, license fees accounted for 67% of total revenue compared to 63% in 2015. NRE projectshad a 5% gross margin in 2014. We began selling AirBar late in 2016 with gross margin of 64%. We expect gross margin for AirBar to range from 40% to 50%over time. Our cost of revenues includes the direct cost of production of certain customer prototypes, costs of engineering personnel, engineering consultants tocomplete the engineering design contract and cost of goods sold for AirBar includes fully burdened manufacturing, outsourced final assembly and componentcosts. Research and Development Product research and development (“R&D”) expenses for 2016 were 69% of total revenue compared to 57% in 2015 and 156% in 2014. R&D in 2016increased 13% over 2015. Included in the research and development expense for 2016 are investments of $1.1 million of pre-production manufacturing start-upcosts and non-recurring expenses of approximately $0.8 million related to final development of the NN1003 ASIC. In addition, the increase is partially related toshifting our engineering resources from customized licensing customer projects under NRE contract to sensor development projects and expensed as incurred. Thedecrease in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily related to significantly lower revenue in 2014 compared 2015 compared to the total R&D costs that included anumber of high costs consultants. We expect to increase our R&D resources as we gain traction with our sensor modules. Prior to 2015, we outsourced all the prototype manufacturing process at a higher cost. R&D costs mainly consist of personnel related costs in addition tosome external consultancy costs, such as testing, certifying and measurements, along with costs related to developing and building new product prototypes. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for 2016 were 28% of total revenue compared to 34% in 2015 and 69% in 2014. Sales and marketing expenses in 2016decreased 24% over 2015. The decrease is primarily related to decrease in salaries related to a reduction in headcount and a reduction in stock option expense. Wehad 6 employees and consultants in our sales and marketing department in 2016 compared to 8 employees in 2015 and 7 employees in 2014. Sales and marketingexpenses in 2015 increased 16% over 2014. The increase in 2015 compared to 2014 is primarily related to and slight increase in employee expenses related toseparation costs for terminated employees. We expect to increase our sales and marketing employee headcount, product marketing expense and travel expenses aswe gain traction with our sensor module hardware. Included in sales and marketing expenses is approximately $150,000 of non-cash stock expense for the yearended December 31, 2016 compared to approximately $296,000 and $353,000 for the same periods in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our sales activities focus on OEM customers who will embed our touch sensor modules into their products. Our OEM customers will then sell and markettheir products incorporating our technology to their customers. We also sell and market our Neonode branded sensor products to customers directly and throughdistribution partners. We expect to expand our sales and marketing activities in 2017 and future years to capture market share in our target markets. General and Administrative General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were 40% of revenue in 2016 compared to 45% in 2015 and 143% in 2014. Total G&A expenses in 2016decreased 18% over 2015. Total G&A expenses in 2015 decreased 27% over 2014. These decreases are primarily related to a decrease in salaries related to areduction in headcount and a reduction in stock option expense. This overall decrease in 2016 as compared to 2015 was primarily related to payroll expenses,professional fees related to patent filings and a decrease in non-cash stock option expense in 2016 related to stock options issued to employees and members of ourBoard of Directors. As of December 31, 2016, we had eight full-time employees in our G&A department fulfilling management and accounting responsibilitiescompared to eight full-time employees and seven full-time employees as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. Included in G&A expenses are approximately $57,000of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the sameperiods in 2015 and 2014, respectively. 33 We expect to add headcount to our accounting and administration groups as we gain traction with our sensor module business globally. Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $47,000 compared to $18,000 and $14,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014,respectively. The interest expense was mainly related to capital leases. Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and theTaiwan Dollar. The translation from Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won or Taiwan Dollar to U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheet accountsusing current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the period. Gainsor (losses) resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or (losses) resulting fromforeign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and were $74,000,$62,000 and ($37,000) during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was (8)% in the year ended December 31, 2016 and (1)% and (1%) in the years ended 2015 and 2014, respectively. We recordedvaluation allowances in 2016, 2015 and 2014 for deferred tax assets related to net operating losses due to the uncertainty of realization. Net Loss As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss of $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $7.8million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Contractual Obligation and 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 orcapital resources other than the operating leases incurred in the normal course of business. A summary of future minimum payments under non-cancellable lease commitments as of December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands): Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years Operating lease obligations $450 $450 $- $- $- Capital lease 1,287 262 519 506 - Total $1,737 $712 $519 $506 $- 34 We have no special purpose or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support.

This increase was offset by repayments of $57,000 on our capital lease obligation during the year ended December 31, 2015. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2014 was the result of net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million from thesale of our common stock and $36,000 received in connection with the exercise of warrants to purchase 11,500 shares of our common stock. These increases wereoffset by repayments of $34,000 on our capital lease obligations during the year ended December 31, 2014. In August 2016, we entered into a the Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional and accredited investors as part of a private placement pursuant towhich we issued a total of 8,627,352 shares of common stock, as described below, and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $7.9 million in net proceeds.The total number of shares included (i) an aggregate of 427,352 shares at $1.17 per share to Thomas Eriksson, Chief Executive Officer of Neonode, and RemoBehdasht, SVP AirBar Devices at Neonode for gross proceeds of approximately $500,000, (ii) an aggregate of 4,600,000 shares at a price of $1.00 per share tooutside investors for gross proceeds of $4,600,000, and (iii) up to 3,600,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) by outsideinvestors for which we received $3,564,000 pre-funded in proceeds and will receive up to $36,000 in proceeds upon future cash exercises. Under the terms of the August 2016 Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued warrants (the “Purchase Warrants”) to all investors in the privateplacement to purchase up to a total of 4,313,676 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The Purchase Warrants became exercisableFebruary 17, 2017 and will expire February 17, 2022. None of the Purchase Warrants have been exercised as of March 10, 2017. If the warrants are fully exercised,we will receive approximately $4.8 million in proceeds. In October 2015, we issued 3,200,000 shares of our common stock as part of a registered equity offering and raised approximately $5.4 million in netproceeds. We may from time to time issue shares of our common stock under an effective shelf registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to beannounced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described ina prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Currently, we have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement that became effective on June 12, 2014. There are 1,800,000 shares remaining forissuance under this shelf registration statement, which will expire on June 12, 2017. We intend to file a new shelf registration statement with the SEC concurrent with the filing of this Annual Report. Upon its effectiveness, this new shelfregistration statement will allow us to offer and sell common stock in one or more offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million. 38 The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and therealization of assets and the repayment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We expect our revenues from license fees, non-recurring engineering feesand AirBar sales will enable us to reduce our operating losses in 2017. We have received purchase orders from our distributors for AirBar and entered into anagreement with an OEM customer for our sensor modules. In addition, we have improved the overall cost efficiency of our operations, as a result of the transitionfrom providing our customers a full custom design solution to providing standardized sensor modules which require limited to no custom design work. We intendto continue to implement various measures to improve our operational efficiencies. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in meeting itsrevenue targets and reducing its operating loss. In the future, we may require sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. If our operations do notbecome cash flow positive, we may be forced to seek equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtainingsuch 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 ourbusiness 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 ofequity 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 ofdebt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions. ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and theTaiwan Dollar 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 SwedishKrona, Japanese Yen or South Korean Won will impact our future operating results. 100% of our consolidated net revenues are denominated in US Dollars andapproximately 74% of our consolidated operating costs are denominated in Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won and Taiwanese Dollar. We do notcurrently enter into forward-exchange contracts to hedge exposure denominated in foreign currencies or any other derivative financial instruments for trading orspeculative purposes. In the future, if our operations change and we determine that our foreign exchange exposure has increased, we may consider entering intohedging transactions to mitigate such risk. 39 ITEM 8.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1.Nature of the Business and OperationsBackground and OrganizationNeonode Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1997 as the parent of Neonode AB, a company foundedin February 2004 and incorporated in Sweden. On December 29, 2008, we entered into a share exchange agreement with AB Cypressen nr 9683 (renamedNeonode Technologies AB), a Swedish engineering company, and Neonode Technologies AB became our wholly owned subsidiary. In 2013, we establishedadditional wholly owned subsidiaries: Neonode Japan Inc. (Japan); Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden); NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.); and NeonodeAmericas Inc. (U.S.). In 2014, we established one additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). In 2015, we established one additionalwholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Taiwan Ltd. (Taiwan). In 2015, we established Pronode Technologies AB, a majority-owned subsidiary of NeonodeTechnologies AB. In 2016, we entered into a joint venture, named Neoeye AB, between SMART EYE AB and our subsidiary Neonode Technologies AB.OperationsNeonode Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries is referred to as “Neonode”, develops and licenses user interfaces and optical touch technology to OriginalEquipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers who embed the Neonode technology into devices that they produce and sell. In 2016, Neonode started tomanufacture and sell standardized embedded sensors that incorporate Neonode technology.ReclassificationsAccrued payroll and employee benefits as of December 31, 2015 is now reported under its own caption, separate from accrued expenses, in theaccompanying consolidated balance sheet, in order to conform to the current period presentation.LiquidityWe incurred net losses of approximately $5.3 million, $7.8 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014,respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $179.0 million as of December 31, 2016. In addition, we used cash in operating activities ofapproximately $6.3 million, $8.1 million and $11.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.In June 2014, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective on June 12, 2014. As of December 31, 2016, there were1,800,000 shares remaining for issuance under this existing shelf registration statement. This shelf registration statement will expire on June 12, 2017.We may from time to time issue shares of our common stock under an effective shelf registration statement in amounts, at prices, and on terms to beannounced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, will be described ina prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, at the time of the offering.We intend to file a new shelf registration statement with the SEC concurrent with the filing of this Annual Report. Upon its effectiveness, this new shelfregistration statement will allow us to offer and sell common stock in one or more offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million. On October 13, 2015, we issued 3,200,000 shares of our common stock from our shelf registration statement to investors in connection with an equityfinancing transaction. We sold the stock at $1.90 per share and raised approximately $6.1 million gross and received approximately $5.4 million in cash, net ofdirect offering costs including underwriting discounts and legal, audit and other regulatory costs of approximately $0.7 million. In August 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional and accredited investors as part of a private placement pursuant towhich we issued a total of 8,627,352 shares of common stock, as described below, and warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $7.9 million in net proceeds.The total number of shares included (i) an aggregate of 427,352 shares at $1.17 per share to Thomas Eriksson, Chief Executive Officer of Neonode, and RemoBehdasht, SVP AirBar Devices at Neonode for gross proceeds of approximately $500,000, (ii) an aggregate of 4,600,000 shares at a price of $1.00 per share tooutside investors for gross proceeds of $4,600,000, and (iii) up to 3,600,000 shares issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) by outsideinvestors for which we received $3,564,000 pre-funded in proceeds and will receive up to $36,000 in proceeds upon future cash exercises. Under the terms of the August 2016 Securities Purchase Agreement, we issued warrants (the “Purchase Warrants”) to all investors in the privateplacement to purchase up to a total of 4,313,676 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.12 per share. The Purchase Warrants became exercisableFebruary 17, 2017 and will expire February 17, 2022. None of the Purchase Warrants have been exercised as of March 10, 2017. If the warrants are fully exercised,we will receive approximately $4.8 million in proceeds.The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations and therealization of assets and the repayment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Management evaluated the significance of the Company’s operating lossand determined that the Company’s current operating plan and sources of capital would be sufficient to alleviate concerns about the Company’s ability to continueas a going concern.We expect our revenues from license fees, non-recurring engineering fees and AirBar sales will enable us to reduce our operating losses in 2017. We havereceived purchase orders from our distributors for AirBar and entered into an agreement with an OEM customer for our sensor modules. In addition, we haveimproved the overall cost efficiency of our operations, as a result of the transition from providing our customers a full custom design solution to providingstandardized sensor modules which require limited to no custom design work. We intend to continue to implement various measures to improve our operationalefficiencies. No assurances can be given that management will be successful in meeting its revenue targets and reducing its operating loss.As described above, upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrants issued in August 2016, we will receive up to approximately $4.8 million in proceeds.These Purchase Warrants are presently exercisable and are “in-the-money.” As also described above, concurrent with the filing of this Annual Report, we intend tofile a new shelf registration statement with the SEC concurrent with the filing of this Annual Report. Upon its effectiveness, this new shelf registration statementwill allow us to offer and sell common stock in one or more offerings with an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million. In the future, we may require sourcesof capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement our strategy. If our operations do not become cash flow positive, we may be forcedto seek equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms,or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negativeeffect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if funds are available, the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible intoequity 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 restrictivecovenants that could impair our ability to engage in certain business transactions. 48 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(“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Neonode Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as Pronode Technologies AB, a 51% majority ownedsubsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. The remaining 49% of Pronode Technologies AB is owned by Propoint AB, located in Gothenburg, Sweden. PronodeTechnologies AB was organized to sell engineering services within the automotive markets. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated inconsolidation. Neonode consolidates entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. We consolidate subsidiaries in which we hold, directly or indirectly, morethan 50% of the voting rights, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which Neonode is the primary beneficiary. In June 2016, we entered into a Joint Venture (“JV”) with a Swedish based eye-tracking company SMART EYE AB to develop multi-chip modules forthe consumer and automotive markets. The name of this JV is Neoeye AB (“Neoeye”). We use the equity method of accounting to record our investments in the common stock of each entity in which Neonode has the ability to exercisesignificant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest. Under the equity method, our investment is originally included in equity interests at cost, and isadjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee, in our consolidated balance sheets; our share of net income (loss) is reported in ourconsolidated statements of operations according to our equity ownership in each entity. The consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 include our accounts and those ofour wholly owned subsidiaries, Neonode Technologies AB (Sweden), Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.), Neonode Japan Inc. (Japan), NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.),Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden) and Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). The consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for theyears then ended include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Neonode Technologies AB (Sweden), Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.), NeonodeJapan Inc. (Japan), NEON Technology Inc. (U.S.), Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden), Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea) and Neonode Taiwan Ltd.(Taiwan), as well as Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden), a 51% majority owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and assumptions that affect, at the date of the financialstatements, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actualresults could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, provisions for uncollectible receivables and sales returns, warrantyliabilities, the achievement of substantive milestones and vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for purposes of revenue recognition (ordeferral of revenue), net realizable value of inventory, recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived assets, the valuation allowance related to ourdeferred tax assets, and the fair value of options and warrants issued for stock-based compensation. Cash We have not had any liquid investments other than normal cash deposits with bank institutions to date. The Company considers all highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of three months of less to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Cash Balance Risks Cash balances are maintained at various banks in the United States, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden. For deposits held with financial institutions in theUnited States the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner. The Swedish governmentprovides insurance coverage up to 100,000 Euro per customer and covers deposits in all types of accounts. The Japanese government provides insurance coverageup to 10,000,000 Yen per customer. The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation provides insurance coverage up to 50,000,000 Won per customer. The CentralDeposit Insurance Corporation in Taiwan provides insurance coverage up to 3,000,000 Taiwan Dollar per customer. At times, deposits held with financialinstitutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided. 49 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of ourcustomers to make required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. Whereappropriate, we obtain credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining or modifying its credit limits. We regularly evaluate thecollectability of our trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, we initiate dialogue withthe customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing,deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting its business, we record a specific allowance to reduce therelated 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 anallowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience withcustomers. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $149,000 and $167,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Projects in Process Projects in process consist of costs incurred toward the completion of various projects for certain customers. These costs are primarily comprised of directengineering labor costs and project-specific equipment costs. These costs are capitalized on our balance sheet as an asset and deferred until revenue for eachproject is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy. There were no costs capitalized in projects in process as of December 31, 2016. Costscapitalized in projects in process were $158,000 as of December 31, 2015. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) and net realizable value. Net realizable value is theestimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Any adjustments to reducethe cost of inventories to their net realizable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s inventory consistsprimarily of components that will be used in the manufacturing of our first sensor module, AirBar. We segregate inventory for reporting purposes by raw materials,work-in-process, and finished goods. Raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods at December 31 are as follows: December 31, 2016 Raw materials $522 Work-in-Process 42 Finished goods 132 Ending inventory $696 Investment in JV We have invested $3,000, a 50% interest in Neoeye AB (see above). We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since theinvestment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if we havean ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee of between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board ofDirectors, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment, originallyrecorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the investee and will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations andwill also be adjusted by contributions to and distributions from Neoeye. The Company is not required to guarantee any obligations of the JV. There have been nooperations of Neoeye through December 31, 2016. Neoeye, as an unconsolidated equity investee, will recognize revenue from technology license agreements at the time a contract is entered into, the licensemethod is determined (paid-in-advance or on-going royalty), performance obligations under the license agreement are satisfied, and the realization of revenue isassured, which is generally upon the receipt of the license proceeds. Neoeye may at times enter into license agreements whereby contingent revenues arerecognized as one or more contractual milestones have been met. We review our investment in Neoeye to determine whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.The primary factors we consider in our determination are the financial condition, operating performance and near term prospects of Neoeye. If a decline in value isdeemed to be other than temporary, we would recognize an impairment loss. 50 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using thestraight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Estimated useful lives Computer equipment 3 yearsFurniture and fixtures 5 yearsEquipment 7 years Equipment purchased under a capital lease is depreciated over the term of the lease, if that lease term is shorter than the estimated useful life. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gains orlosses are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Long-Lived Assets We assess any impairment by estimating the future cash flow from the associated asset in accordance with relevant accounting guidance. If the estimatedundiscounted future cash flow related to these assets decreases or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we may incur charges for impairment of theseassets. As of December 31, 2016, we believe there was no impairment of our long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will notchange or sufficient demand for our products and services will continue, which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future. Foreign Currency Translation and Transaction Gains and Losses The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency, the Swedish Krona, the Japanese Yen, the South Korean Won and theTaiwan Dollar. The translation from Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, South Korean Won or the Taiwan Dollar to U.S. Dollars is performed for balance sheetaccounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for income statement accounts using a weighted average exchange rate during theperiod. Gains or (losses) resulting from translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or (losses)resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations andwere $74,000, $62,000 and ($37,000) during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Foreign currency translation gains or (losses) were($217,000), ($103,000) and $138,000 during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Concentration of Credit and Business Risks Our customers are located in United States, Europe and Asia. As of December 31, 2016, three customers represented approximately 59% of our consolidated accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015, three customers represented approximately 78% of our consolidated accounts receivable. Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2016 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 38% ●Amazon – 11% ●Autoliv – 11% 51 Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 25% ●Autoliv – 21% ●Amazon – 14% Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 24% ●KOBO Inc. – 10% ●Leap Frog Enterprises Inc. – 11% ●Sony Corporation – 10% The Company conducts business in the United States, Europe and Asia. At December 31, 2016, the Company maintained approximately $2,189,000,$1,872,000 and $74,000 of its net assets (liabilities) in the United States, Europe and Asia, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the Company maintainedapproximately $2,533,000, ($909,000) and $209,000 of its net assets (liabilities) in the United States, Europe and Asia, respectively. Revenue Recognition Licensing Revenues: We derive revenue from the licensing of internally developed intellectual property (“IP”). We enter into IP licensing agreements that generally providelicensees the right to incorporate our IP components in their products with terms and conditions that vary by licensee. Fees under these agreements may includelicense fees relating to our IP and royalties payable following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating the licensed technology. The license forour IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support. We follow U.S. GAAP for revenue recognition as per unit royaltyproducts are distributed or licensed by our customers. For technology license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of theunderlying technology, we recognize technology license revenue when: (1) we enter into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license oftechnology; (2) the customer distributes or licenses the products; (3) the customer payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significantuncertainties; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Our customers report to us the quantities of products distributed or licensed by them after the end of thereporting period stipulated in the contract, generally 30 to 45 days after the end of the month or quarter. We recognize licensing revenue in the period in whichroyalty reports are received, rather than the period in which the products are distributed or to which the license relates. Explicit return rights are not offered to customers. There have been no returns through December 31, 2016. Engineering Services: We may sell engineering consulting services to our customers on a flat rate or hourly rate basis. We recognize revenue from these services when all of thefollowing conditions are met: (1) evidence existed of an arrangement with the customer, typically consisting of a purchase order or contract; (2) our services wereperformed and risk of loss passed to the customer; (3) we completed all of the necessary terms of the contract; (4) the amount of revenue to which we were entitledwas fixed or determinable; and (5) we believed it was probable that we would be able to collect the amount due from the customer. To the extent that one or moreof these conditions has not been satisfied, we defer recognition of revenue. Generally, we recognize revenue as the engineering services stipulated under the contract are completed and accepted by our customers. Engineeringservices are performed under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”) with a customer. The deliverables and payment terms stipulated under the SOW provideguidance on the project revenue recognition. 52 Revenues from contracts that are short-term in nature and related costs that are difficult to estimate are accounted for under the completed contractmethod. Revenues from contracts with substantive defined milestones that we have determined are reasonable, relevant to all the deliverables and payment termsin the SOW that are commensurate with the efforts required to achieve the milestones are recognized under the milestone recognition method. Estimated losses on all SOW projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident. In the year ended December 31, 2015, $165,000 wasrecorded as cost of sales due to expected losses related to two SOW projects. In the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2014, no losses related to SOW projectswere recorded. Optical Sensor Modules Revenues: We derive revenue from the sales of sensor modules hardware products sold directly to our OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers who embed our hardwareinto their products and from sales of branded consumer products that incorporate our sensor modules sold to distributors or directly to end users. These distributorsare generally given business terms that allow them to return a portion of inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate in variouscooperative marketing programs. We enter into sales agreements that generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty provisions. U.S.GAAP allows companies to make reasonable aggregations and approximations of returns data with regard to returns. Our returns and warranty experience to datehas enabled us to make reasonable returns estimates, which are further supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenous transactions. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria have been met: ●Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Contracts, Internet commerce agreements, and customer purchase orders are generally used todetermine the existence of an arrangement. ●Delivery has occurred. Shipping documents and customer acceptance, when applicable, are used to verify delivery. ●The fee is fixed or determinable. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction andwhether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. ●Collectibility is reasonably assured. We assess collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checksand analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. In instances where final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. As ourbusiness and offerings are expected to evolve over time, our pricing practices may be required to be modified accordingly, which could result in changes in sellingprices. We make sales to distributors and revenue from distributors is recognized based on a sell-through basis using sales and inventory information provided bythese distributors. Under the sell-through basis, accounts receivable are recognized and inventory is relieved upon shipment to the distributor as title to theinventory is transferred upon shipment, at which point we have a legally enforceable right to collection under normal terms. The associated sales and cost of salesare deferred and are included in deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheet. When the related product is sold by our distributors to their end customers, atwhich time the ultimate price we receive is known, we recognize previously deferred revenues as sales and cost of sales. Distributors participate in variouscooperative marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for these programs. If actual credits received bydistributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience, our revenue could be adverselyaffected. A reserve for future sales returns is established based on historical trends in product return rates. The reserve for future sales returns as of December 31,2016 was $0.1 million and was recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical dataon which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected. 53 Product Warranty The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Balance at beginning of period $- $ - Provisions for warranty issued 11 - Balance at end of period $11 $- The Company accrues for warranty costs as part of its cost of sales of sensor modules based on estimated costs. The Company’s products are generallycovered by a warranty for a period of 12 to 36 months from the customer receipt of the product. Deferred Revenues We defer license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed and royaltyreports are received. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until such time as the engineering work has been completed and accepted by ourcustomers. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of deferred license fee revenue related to prepayments forfuture license fees from four and two customers, respectively. We defer AirBar revenues until distributors sell the AirBar to their end customers. As of December31, 2016, we had $0.1 million of deferred revenue from our AirBar sales. As of December 31, 2015, there was no deferred revenue from AirBar sales. As ofDecember 31, 2016 there were no deferred engineering development fees and a total of $0.4 million of deferred engineering development fee from one customer asof December 31, 2015. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. We will classify any reseller marketing allowances related to AirBar in general as sales expense unless we candefine an identifiable benefit to us from the reseller marketing allowance. Advertising costs amounted to approximately $299,000, $328,000 and $172,000 for theyears ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Research and Development Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs consist mainly of personnel related costs in addition to some externalconsultancy costs such as testing, certifying and measurements. Stock-Based Compensation Expense We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including share options, based on the estimated fairvalue of the award on the grant date, and recognize the value as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide services in exchange forthe award, usually the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their estimated fair value. The measurement date for the estimated fair value for the equityinstruments issued is determined at the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached, or (2) the date atwhich the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the estimated fair value of the equity instrumentsis primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. The estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation is periodically re-measured andincome or expense is recognized during the vesting term. When determining stock-based compensation expense involving options and warrants, we determine the estimated fair value of options and warrantsusing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 54 Noncontrolling Interests The Company recognizes noncontrolling interests as equity in the consolidated financial statements separate from the parent company’s equity.Noncontrolling interests’ partners have less than 50% share of voting rights at any one of the subsidiary level companies. The amount of net income (loss)attributable to noncontrolling interests is included in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in a parententity’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are treated as equity transactions if the parent entity retains its controlling financialinterest. The Company recognizes a gain or loss in net income (loss) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss is measured using the fair value of thenoncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. Additionally, operating losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocationcreates a deficit balance for the noncontrolling interest partner. The Company provides either in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, if presented, or in the notes to consolidated financial statements, areconciliation at the beginning and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity (net assets), equity (net assets) attributable to the parent, and equity(net assets) attributable to the noncontrolling interest that separately discloses: (1)Net income or loss (2)Transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners. (3)Each component of other comprehensive income or loss Income Taxes We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of items that have been included in the consolidated financialstatements 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 andliabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect forthe year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The realization of deferred tax assets is based on historical tax positions and expectations about futuretaxable income. Valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred tax assets when, in our opinion, realization is uncertain based on the “more likely than not”criteria of the accounting guidance. Based on the uncertainty of future pre-tax income, we fully reserved our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. In the event we wereto 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 suchdetermination was made. The provision for income taxes represents the net change in deferred tax amounts, plus income taxes payable for the current period. We follow U.S. GAAP related to uncertain tax positions, which provisions include a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuringuncertain tax positions. As a result, we did not recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had no unrecognized taxbenefits. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the years endedDecember 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-averagenumber of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of commonstock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 exclude the potentialcommon stock equivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive (see Note 14). Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Our comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as aseparate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 55 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 reportingperiods. The weighted-average exchange rate for the consolidated statements of operations was as follows: Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Swedish Krona 8.55 8.43 6.86 Japanese Yen 108.75 121.03 105.84 South Korean Won 1,157.14 1,130.22 1,050.63 Taiwan Dollar 32.22 31.73 - Exchange rate for the consolidated balance sheets was as follows: Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 Swedish Krona 9.07 8.42 Japanese Yen 116.97 120.36 South Korean Won 1,205.11 1,174.67 Taiwan Dollar 32.28 32.84 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,accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and are deemed to approximate fair value due to their short maturities. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “ Revenue fromContracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry specificrequirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process forcustomer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanceddisclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include thecapitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variableconsideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as acumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year to December15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date or forreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “ Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure ofUncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ”. The amendments in this update provide guidance in U.S. GAAP about management'sresponsibilities to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.The main provision of the amendments are for an entity's management, in connection with the preparation of financial statements, to evaluate whether there areconditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the datethat the financial statements are issued. Management's evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known or reasonably knowable at thedate the consolidated financial statements are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability tocontinue as a going concern, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the consolidated financial statements to understand all of the following: (1)principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management's plans);(2) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity's ability to meet its obligations; and (3) management's plansthat alleviated substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern or management's plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions orevents that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annualreporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. We adopted this pronouncement effective December 31, 2016 and haveincluded disclosure in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements based upon ASU No. 2014-15. 56 In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330)” (“ASU 2015-11”). The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require that an entitymeasure inventory within the scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course ofbusiness, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this update more closely align the measurement ofinventory in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the measurement of inventory in International Financial ReportingStandards. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this update should be appliedprospectively with early application permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-11effective September 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), whicheliminates the current requirement for an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts in a classified balancesheet. Instead, the ASU requires deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and valuation allowances be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet. ASU2015-17 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption ispermitted. Additionally, this guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company elected not to early adopt ASU2015-17 and is evaluating the effect of the adoption of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required recognize thefollowing for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease paymentsarising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, aspecified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.Early application is permitted. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of theearliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases thatexpired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We have not yet selected a transitionmethod and are currently assessing the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to theEquity Method of Accounting” (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when areporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016. TheCompany is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-BasedPayment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplified certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income taxconsequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for annualreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASUto its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments”, (“ASU 2016-13”). The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based onhistorical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginningafter December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financialstatements. 57 3.Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expense and other current assets consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2016 2015 Prepaid insurance $125 $119 Prepaid rent 46 52 VAT receivable 247 337 Prepaid inventory 715 - Advances to suppliers 596 - Other 220 239 Total prepaid expenses and other current assets $1,949 $747 4.Property and Equipment Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2016 2015 Computers, software, furniture and fixtures $930 $637 Equipment under capital lease 1,661 428 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (560) (471)Property and equipment, net $2,031 $594 Depreciation and amortization expense was $360,000, $187,000 and $202,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 5.Accrued Expenses Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2016 2015 Accrued returns and warranty $11 $- Accrued consulting fees and other 161 382 Total accrued expenses $172 $382 6.Fair Value Measurements Accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair valuemeasurements. The accounting guidance does not mandate any new fair value measurements and is applicable to assets and liabilities that are required to berecorded at fair value under other accounting pronouncements. There were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in 2016 and 2015. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. We had noLevel 1 assets or liabilities. 58 Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are included in Level 1 observable, either directly orindirectly. We had no Level 2 assets or liabilities. Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurementof the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We had no Level 3 assets or liabilities. 7.Deferred Revenue We defer the license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition as per unit royalty products are distributed and royaltyreports are received. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until such time as the engineering work has been completed and accepted by ourcustomers. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we have $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of deferred license fee revenue related to prepayments forfuture license fees from four and two customers, respectively. We defer AirBar revenues until distributors sell the AirBar to their end customers. As of December31, 2016, we had $0.1 million of deferred revenue from our AirBar sales. As of December 31, 2015, there was no deferred revenue from AirBar sales.

The Pre-Funded Warrants were issued to certain outside investors whose purchase of shares of Neonode common stock would make them the beneficialowners of more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of Neonode. Each of the Pre-Funded Warrants were pre-funded upon closing of the privateplacement at $0.99 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share and have an exercise price of $0.01 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share.

There are no vesting provisions tied to performanceconditions for any options, as vesting for all outstanding option grants was based only on continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of ouroutstanding stock options and restricted stock awards are classified as equity instruments. Stock Options During the year ended 2015, our shareholders approved the Neonode Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) which replaces our 2006 EquityIncentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Under the 2015 Plan, 2,100,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for awards, including nonqualified stock optiongrants and restricted stock grants to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan are set byour compensation committee at its discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2016, 25,000 stock options were granted under the 2015 Plan. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2016, we had two equity incentive plans: ●The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). ●The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). We also had one non-employee director stock option plan as of December 31, 2016: ●The 2001 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”), which expired for new awards in March 2011. 61 The following table summarizes information with respect to all options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding under the 2006 Plan, the 2015Plan and the Director Plan at December 31, 2016: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Price NumberOutstanding at12/31/16 WeightedAverageRemainingContractualLife (years) WeightedAverageExercise Price NumberExercisable at12/31/16 WeightedAverageExercise Price $ 1.44 - $ 3.50 200,000 5.30 $2.85 147,083 $2.78 $ 3.51 - $ 5.00 1,426,000 2.85 $4.23 1,426,000 $4.23 $ 5.01 - $ 6.50 130,000 3.63 $5.98 129,166 $5.98 $ 6.51 - $ 8.21 90,000 0.02 $8.21 90,000 $8.21 1,846,000 3.03 $4.39 1,792,249 $4.43 A summary of the combined activity under all of the stock option plans is set forth below: Options Outstanding Weighted- Average Weighted- Remaining Average Contractual Aggregate Number of Exercise Life Intrinsic Shares Price (in years) Value Options outstanding – January 1, 2014 1,600,583 $5.22 Options granted 405,200 6.31 Options exercised - - Options cancelled or expired (296,383) 5.46 Options outstanding – December 31, 2014 1,709,400 4.92 Options granted 605,000 3.57 Options exercised - - Options cancelled or expired (130,283) 6.03 Options outstanding – December 31, 2015 2,184,117 4.48 Options granted 25,000 1.44 Options exercised - - Options cancelled or expired (363,117) 4.73 Options outstanding – December 31, 2016 1,846,000 $4.39 3.03 $10,000 Options exercisable and expected to vest – December 31, 2016 1,846,000 $4.39 3.03 $10,000 The assumptions used to value stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014are as follows: For the yearended December 31,2016 Annual dividend yield - Expected life (years) 3.5 Risk-free interest rate 0.83%Expected volatility 65.46% 62 For the yearended December 31,2015 Annual dividend yield - Expected life (years) 2.97 Risk-free interest rate 0.47% - 1.41%Expected volatility 60.07% - 72.33% For the year ended December 31,2014 Annual dividend yield - Expected life (years) 3.5 Risk-free interest rate 0.28% - 1.47%Expected volatility 60.68% - 108.75% During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded $0.3 million, $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of compensationexpense related to the vesting of stock options. The estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricingmodel as of the grant date of the stock option. 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 pricesreflecting market value of the shares of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted under the 2006 and 2015 Plans are exercisable over amaximum 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 valueof the shares of common stock on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock to employees with total grant dateestimated fair value of $17,000 computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted duringyear ended December 31, 2016 was $0.67 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we granted options to purchase 515,000 shares of our common stock to employees and an option to purchase90,000 shares of our common stock to four members of our board of directors with total grant date estimated fair value of $0.8 million computed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during year ended December 31, 2015 was $1.24 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we granted options to purchase 395,200 shares of our common stock to employees and an option to purchase10,000 shares of our common stock to a former member of our board of directors with total grant date estimated fair value of $1.3 million computed using theBlack-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during year ended December 31, 2014 was $3.14 per share. 63 Stock-Based Compensation The stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 reflects the estimated fair value of the vested portion ofoptions granted to directors, employees and non-employees. (In thousands) Years ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Research and development $48 $484 $510 Sales and marketing 150 296 353 General and administrative 57 295 866 Stock-based compensation expense $255 $1,075 $1,729 (In thousands) Remainingunrecognizedexpense at December 31,2016 Stock-based compensation $84 The remaining unrecognized expense related to stock options will be recognized on a straight line basis monthly as compensation expense over theremaining vesting period which approximates 1.1 years. 64 The estimated fair value of stock-based awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though this model was developed toestimate 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. Theexpected 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 optionsgranted in such future periods, and could cause volatility in the total amount of the stock-based compensation expense reported in future periods. 10.Commitments and Contingencies Indemnities and Guarantees Our bylaws require that we indemnify each of our executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer ordirector serving in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of futurepayments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, we have a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policythat 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 theseindemnification agreements is minimal and we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. 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 theindemnified party as a result of our activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party’s activities under the agreement. These indemnificationprovisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by us with regard to intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisionsgenerally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under theseindemnification provisions is unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As aresult, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these indemnification provisions as ofDecember 31, 2016 and 2015. Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs On February 4, 2011, we entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement with an effective date of January 24, 2010 (the “NN1001 Agreement”)with Texas Instruments pursuant to which Texas Instruments agreed to integrate Neonode’s intellectual property into an Application Specific Integrated Circuit(“ASIC”).

This is mainly due to our history of operating losses. As of December 31, 2016, wehad federal, state and foreign net operating losses of $56.0 million, $22.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The federal loss carryforward begins to expire in2028, the California loss carryforward begins to expire in 2030 and the foreign loss carryforward is indefinite. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation due to the ownership percentage change limitationsprovided by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating lossesand tax credit carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2016, we had not completed the determination of the amount to be limited under the provision. As of December 31, 2016, we did not recognize $547,000 and $28,000 of federal and state deferred tax assets relating to excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation deductions. Unrecognized deferred tax benefits will be accounted for as a credit to additional paid-in capital when realized through a reductionin income taxes payable. We follow the provisions of accounting guidance which includes a two-step approach to recognizing, de-recognizing and measuring uncertain taxpositions. There were no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. 69 We follow the policy to classify accrued interest and penalties as part of the accrued tax liability in the provision for income taxes. For the years endedDecember 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 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, 2016 and 2015,we had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax matters. As of December 31, 2016, we had no uncertain tax positions that would be reduced as a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Diluted loss per common share is computed bydividing net loss attributable to Neonode Inc. for the relevant period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalentsoutstanding during the year. Potential common stock equivalents of approximately 5.1 million, 13,000 and 0.3 million outstanding stock warrants, 11,000, 11,000 and 11,000 sharesissuable upon conversion of preferred stock, 4,000, 7,000 and 24,000 stock options are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the years endedDecember 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluatedthe 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 December 31,2016. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at areasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under theExchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information isaccumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how welldesigned and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was requiredto apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or arereasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectiveswill be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints. Because of the inherent limitations in all controlsystems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management assessed the effectivenessof our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making their assessment, our management used criteria established in the frameworkon Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon thatassessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by KMJ Corbin & Company LLP, anindependent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report contained on the next page of this Annual Report. 72 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and StockholdersNeonode Inc. We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Neonode Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, based on criteriaestablished in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). TheCompany’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internalcontrol over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is toexpress an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that weplan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that amaterial weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on that risk, and performing such other proceduresas we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Acompany’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded asnecessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and thatreceipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) providereasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a materialeffect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Neonode Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016,based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the TreadwayCommission (COSO). We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets ofNeonode Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equityand cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 and our report dated March 15, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on thoseconsolidated financial statements. /s/ KMJ Corbin & Company LLP Costa Mesa, CaliforniaMarch 15, 2017 ITEM 9B.
