ITEM 1.BUSINESS Our Company develops optical touch and gesture control solutions for human-machine interface (“HMI”) with devices and remote sensing solutions fordriver and cabin monitoring features in automotive and other application areas. We offer our touch and gesture control technology under the brand name “zForce”. Our main business model is to license our technology to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Tier 1 system suppliers who embed ourtechnology into systems and products they develop, manufacture and sell. Our customers have to date sold approximately 73 million systems and products that useour technology. In addition to our licensing business, we design and manufacture sensor modules that incorporate our zForce AIR technology. We sell our sensorsmodules to OEMs, Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers for use in their systems and products. We also sell our Neonode branded AirBarproduct that incorporates one of our sensor modules through distributors. Our Organization Neonode Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 4, 1997. Our principal executive office is located in Stockholm, Sweden. Ouroffice in the United States is located in San Jose, California. In 2008, we established a wholly owned subsidiary Neonode Technologies AB (Sweden) to develop and license touchscreen technology. In 2013, weestablished wholly owned subsidiaries: Neonode Japan Inc., (Japan); Neno User Interface Solutions AB (Sweden) (sold in December 2018); NEON TechnologyInc. (U.S.) (dissolved November 19, 2018); and Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.) (dissolved November 19, 2018). In 2014, we established an additional whollyowned subsidiary: Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). In 2015, we established an additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Taiwan Ltd (Taiwan). In 2015, weestablished a 51% majority owned consolidated subsidiary: Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden). In 2016, we entered into a joint venture, Neoeye AB (Sweden). Strategy and Focus Areas Our customers use touch, gesture and remote sensing technology to grow their businesses, drive efficiencies, and seek competitive advantages. Ourstrategy is to deliver value-adding HMI and remote sensing solutions and products that allow the customers to achieve these targets. Our strategy is further to offerspecialized engineering services related to the integration of our solutions and products into customer systems and products to ensure that optimal functionality andperformance is achieved. Our goal is to continue to be a leader in optical touch and gesture control technology and pursue opportunities with both our licensing business and ourproduct sales business while expanding to new markets where our type of touch and gesture control features provide a competitive advantage. We are alsocontinuing to develop our remote sensing business. We are innovating and will introduce the next-generation products that offer better price and performance andarchitectural advantages compared to our current offers and our competitors. We intend to execute on this strategy through portfolio transformation, internalinnovation, and co-development of products with our customers and the building of strategic partnerships. 1 Business Model We derive revenues through technology licensing, selling embedded sensor modules and engineering consulting services. We mainly operate in the B2Bmarkets. Licensing As of December 31, 2019, we have entered into forty-two technology license agreements with global OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Our licensing customer base is primarily in the automotive and printer segment. Sixteen of our licensing customers are currently shipping products thatembed our touch and gesture technology. We anticipate current and new customers will initiate product shipments throughout 2020 and in future years as theycomplete final product development and release cycles. Customer product development and release cycles typically take between 6 months to 36 months. Wenormally earn our royalties on a per unit basis when our customers ship products using our technology. Our licensing customers must use our Application Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) controllers designed specifically for our optical sensingtechnology. These ASICs are developed together with and sold by Texas Instruments and ST Microelectronics, respectively, under special agreements. 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. Product Sales Our zForce AIR sensor modules enabless touch interaction, gesture control and object detection and can be used to create value-adding and user-friendlysolutions using a compact hardware component. We utilize a manufacturing process designed specifically for the zForce AIR sensor modules. Industry specific sensor modules with a commontechnology platform provides hardware touch, gesture control and object sensing solutions that, paired with our technology licensing platform, gives us a full rangeof options to enter and compete in key markets. Our offerings include a consumer product, AirBar, a plug and play accessory, that enables touch and gesture functionality for notebook computers. We currently sell our sensor modules to business customers in the medical, automotive and aeronautic markets. Over time, we expect a significant portionof our revenues will be derived from sales of sensor modules. Markets Automotive Sensors are a key enabler to developing new vehicles that become more interactive in every generation. Our solutions and product offerings addresschallenges when the driver, the passengers, or other vehicles or infrastructure interact with the vehicle. The need for new touch, gesture control and remote sensingsolutions is growing rapidly as new concepts develop into automobiles ready for mass production. Automotive OEMs are supported by a series of Tier 1 suppliers who to large extent design and manufacture the different systems which the OEMsintegrate into their vehicles to create competitive products. In this market we act as a Tier 2 component supplier and we have license agreements with several Tier1 suppliers who deliver infotainment systems to automotive OEMs. We are also in discussions and active development co-operations regarding other touch andgesture control and remote sensing solutions. During 2019, our customers shipped approximately 0.9 million products compared to approximately 1.1 million in 2018. Printers and Office Equipment Multi-function printers typically require feature-rich menus and settings to deliver an optimal user experience and printer OEMs are increasinglyreplacing mechanical buttons and older resistive touch displays with higher performance touch displays. We have operational license agreements with three of theleading global printers and office equipment OEMs. During 2019 our customers shipped approximately 5 million printers and cumulatively they shippedapproximately 37 million printers using our touch technology since mid-2014. Other Markets Other markets we serve in our three business areas include, but are not limited to, medical technology, industrial control systems and avionics. In all thesemarkets we see interesting opportunities for our optical touch and gesture control solutions and products and we have existing customer relations and ongoingdevelopment projects in several cases. We also see a large and increasing demand for remote sensing solutions in several other markets besides automotive, forinstance avionics and in different industrial applications. 2 Product Backlog Our zForce AIR sensor module product backlog at February 26, 2020 was approximately $56,000. The product backlog includes orders confirmed forproducts planned to be shipped within 60 days to two customers. Our cycle time between order and shipment is generally short and customers occasionally changedelivery schedules. Additionally, orders can be cancelled without significant penalties. As a result of these factors, we do not believe that our product backlog, asof 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, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers to be our primary customers. OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers determine thedesign requirements and make the overall decision regarding the use of our touch and gesture control and remote sensing technologies in their products. The useand pricing of our user interface and touch technology are governed by a technology licensing agreement, which typically have an initial term of three years withautomatic one-year renewal periods. During the development and launch phases of the customers’ products we also have an opportunity to sell engineeringservices which generates additional NRE revenues. 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. Product Sales In our sensor module business, we consider OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers to be our primary customers. Our customers purchase sensor modules thatcome in different sizes with different interfaces and we offer engineering consulting to customize hardware and/or firmware to meet specific requirements. Wemanufacture the sensor modules in Sweden by our majority-owned subsidiary Pronode. The sales of our sensors are governed by a product supply agreement. Inaddition, our customers may request engineering services which will generate NRE revenues. Our sales force and marketing operations are managed out of our office in Stockholm, Sweden. Our current salaried sales force is comprised of salesoffices located in the United States, Sweden, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. We also market and sell our products through external sales representatives, value-add partners and distributors in the United States, EU, Japan and China. Our sales are normally negotiated and executed in U.S. Dollars. Customers As of December 31, 2019, we have entered into forty-two technology license agreements compared to forty-one license agreements as of December 31,2018. Sixteen of our licensing customers are currently shipping products that embed our touch and gesture technology. The products related to these licenseagreements include e-readers, tablets, commercial and consumer printers, automotive consoles and GPS devices. Our customers are primarily located in the United States, Europe and Asia. As of December 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 72% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues. As of December 31, 2018, four customers represented approximately 67% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues. Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 38% ●Epson – 16% ●Alpine – 15% Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 35% ●Epson – 14% ●Canon – 12% 3 Customers by Market The following table presents our revenues by market as a percentage of total revenues for the years ended December 31: 2019 2018 Automotive 28% 19%Consumer electronics 62% 74%Sensor modules 8% 3%NRE 2% 4%Total 100% 100% Geographical Data The following table presents our revenues by geographic region as a percentage of total revenues for the years ended December 31: 2019 2018 U.S. 48% 50%Japan 32% 34%China 5% 3%Germany 9% 9%Other 6% 4%Total 100% 100% The following table presents our total assets by geographic region for the years ended December 31 (in thousands): 2019 2018 U.S. $2,898 $2,828 Sweden 4,430 10,308 Asia 108 106 Total $7,436 $13,242 Competition There are various technologies for touch and gesture control solutions available and competing with our optical, infrared (“IR”)-based technologies thatwe develop, market and sell. The competing technologies have differing profiles such as performance, power consumption, level of maturity and cost. For touchsolutions the main competition comes from resistive and capacitive touch solutions. For touch displays the projective capacitive technology is the prevalentstandard in mobile phones and tablets and therefore an important competing technology to ours that many suppliers offer with price being a major differentiationpoint. This means we must continuously develop our technology and improve our offers to defend and grow our market share. For gesture control the maincompetition comes from other optical technologies and from both ultrasonic and radar technologies. Detection range and resolution plus cost are the maindifferentiators. 4 Intellectual Property We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual provisions to establish and protect the proprietary rights in our technology. Thenumber of our issued and pending patents and patents filed in each jurisdiction as of December 31, 2019 is set forth in the following table: Jurisdiction No. of Issued Patents No. of PatentsPendingUnited States 59 9Europe 11 5Japan 11 0China 8 0South Korea 12 0Canada 2 0Australia 1 0Singapore 2 0Patent Convention Treaty Not Applicable 2Total: 106 16 Our patents cover five main categories: user interfaces, optics, controller integrated circuits, drivers, and applications. Our user interface software may also be protected by copyright laws in most countries, including Sweden and the European Union, which do not grantpatent protection for the software itself, if the software is deemed new and original. Protection can be claimed from the date of creation. 5 In 2019 we filed eight new patent applications, while abandoning certain patents that were no longer in our product plans. On May 6, 2019, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Aequitas Technologies LLC by which we assigned a portfolio of patents to Aequitas.The patents in the portfolio relate to sweep gestures and touchscreen devices. The portfolio contains two patent families comprising nine U.S. patents, five non-U.S. patents and three pending U.S. patent applications as listed in the agreement (the “Assigned Patents”). Pursuant to the agreement, Aequitas will plan, manage,and enforce all efforts to license or otherwise monetize the Assigned Patents. As part of the agreement, Aequitas granted to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free,perpetual license to use the Assigned Patents in our products. In consideration for the assignment, we have the right to receive 50% of net proceeds generated byAequitas as a result of its efforts to monetize the Assigned Patents. We have the right to terminate the agreement during the 30-day period after one year from itseffective date if Aequitas has not met certain milestones towards monetizing the Assigned Patents. In the event of termination, our agreement provides thatAequitas will assign the Assigned Patents back to us. The duration of our patent protection for utility patents is generally 20 years. The duration of our patent protection for design patents varies throughout theworld between 10 and 25 years, depending on the jurisdiction. We believe the duration of our intellectual property rights is adequate relative to the expected livesof our products. We also protect and promote our brand by registering trademarks in key markets around the world. Our trademarks include: Neonode (21 registrations),the Neonode logo (14 registrations), zForce (9 registrations), zForce AIR (1 registration), AlwaysON (5 registrations), Multisensing (5 registrations), Touch InEverything (1 registration), AirBar (worldwide registrations) and the AirBar logo (1 registration) as well as a pending trademark application for the mark zForceDRIVE. Research and Development In fiscal years 2019 and 2018, we spent $5.2 million and $5.3 million, respectively, on research and development activities. Our research anddevelopment is predominantly in-house, but may also be performed in collaboration with external partners and specialists. Employees On December 31, 2019, we had forty-six employees and fourteen full-time consultants. There were a total of nine employees in our general andadministrative group, six in our sales and marketing group, twenty-seven in our engineering group, and four in our production group. We have employees orconsultants located in the United States, Sweden, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. None of our employees is represented by a labor union. We have experienced nowork stoppages. We believe our employee relations are positive. Additional Information We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and we file or furnish reports,proxy statements, and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The reports and other information filed by us with the SEC areavailable free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Our website is www.neonode.com.

Our website also includes corporate governance information,such as our Code of Business Conduct (including a Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers) and our Board of Directors’Committee Charters. We are not including the information contained on our website as part of, nor incorporating it by reference into, this Annual Report. 6 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 had a history of losses and may require additional capital to fund our operations, which may not be available on commercially attractiveterms 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 are dependent on a limited number of customers. Our license revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 were earned from sixteen OEM, ODM and Tier 1 customers. We earned NRE revenues fromthree customers for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 72% of ourconsolidated net revenues. Our customer concentration may change significantly from period-to-period depending on a customer’s product cycle and changes inour industry. In addition, our customer composition may change as we transition to selling sensor modules in parallel to our licensing business. The response ofcustomers to our sensor products, loss of a major customer, a reduction in net revenues of a major customer for any reason, or a failure of a major customer tofulfill its financial or other obligations due to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and future revenue stream. We rely 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 that must design, manufacture and sell their productsincorporating our touch technology. The majority of our license fees earned in 2019 and 2018 were from customer shipments of printer products and automotiveinfotainment systems. Although we have broadened our business model to selling sensors in addition to licensing our technology, we expect to continue to receivelicensing revenue from current and new customers who have products in their development cycle. If our customers are not able to design, manufacture or sell theirproducts, or are delayed in producing their products, our revenues, profitability, and liquidity, as well as our 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 eighteen to sixtymonths. 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. 7 We and our license customers rely upon component suppliers to sell products containing our technology and limited availability of components,including due to coronavirus, may adversely affect our and our customers’ business. Under our licensing model, OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers manufacture or contract to manufacture products including Neonode ASICs and suitablemicrocontrollers containing our touch technology. The ASICs as well as the microcontrollers are sourced by our customers from Texas Instruments and/or STMicroelectronics. As part of their product development process, our customers must qualify these components for use in the products, thus making the componentsdifficult to replace. Under our sensor model, we use similar components supplied by Texas Instruments or ST Microelectronics in our module products. If thecomponents provided by Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics or other suppliers experience quality control or availability problems, our technology may bedisqualified by one or more of our customers and our supply chain may be disrupted. Global events such as the corona-virus COVID-19 outbreak emanating fromChina at the beginning of 2020 that has resulted in extended shutdown of certain businesses in the region may result in delays in the supply of components. Ashortage of supply may cause delays or the cost of components to increase and harm our and customers’ ability to manufacture and sell products on a cost-effectivebasis. The dependence on third parties to supply core components with our touch technology exposes us to a number of risks including their inability to obtain anadequate supply of components, the failure to meet our customer requirements, or their failure to remain in business or adjust to market conditions. If we and ourcustomers are unable to obtain ASICs and microcontrollers with our touch technology, we may not be able to meet demand, which could have a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. It can be difficult for us to verify royalty amounts owed to us under licensing agreements, and this may cause us to lose potential revenue. Our license agreements typically require our licensees to document the sale of licensed products and report this data to us on a quarterly basis. Althoughour standard license terms give us the right to audit books and records of our licensees to verify this information, audits can be expensive, time consuming,incomplete and subject to dispute. From time to time, we audit certain of our licensees to verify independently the accuracy of the information contained in theirroyalty reports in an effort to decrease the likelihood that we will not receive the royalty revenues to which we are entitled under the terms of our licenseagreements, but we cannot give assurances that these audits will be effective. We have limited experience in manufacturing products and our entry into the hardware market may not be successful. Our business model has focused on licensing touch technology. In recent years, we began to manufacture and sell sensor touch components. There is noassurance that our hardware manufacturing and sales will result in market acceptance or meaningful revenues. The success of our sensor modules will depend oncustomer response and our management execution. The success of our sensor modules is subject to numerous risks, including: ●the quality and reliability of product components that we source from third-party suppliers; ●our ability to secure product components in a timely manner, in sufficient quantities or on commercially reasonable terms; ●our ability to increase production capacity or volumes to meet demand; ●our ability to identify and qualify alternative suppliers for components in a timely manner; and ●our ability to establish and maintain effective sales channels. In addition, if demand for our products increases, we will have to invest additional resources to purchase components, hire and train employees andenhance our manufacturing processes. If we fail to increase our production capacity efficiently, our sales may not increase in line with our expectations and ouroperating margins could fluctuate or decline. 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 technologies that are appealing to our customers and end users,with acceptable functionality, quality, prices and terms, we will not be able to compete effectively and our ability to generate revenues will suffer. Thedevelopment of new touch technology is very difficult and requires high levels of innovation and competence. The development process is also lengthy and costly.If we fail to anticipate 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 be unable to introduce new touch technology into the market or successfully compete with other providers. As we introduce new or enhanced touchtechnology or integrate 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 salesand support environments. Premature announcements or leaks of new products, features, or technologies may exacerbate some of these risks. Our failure to managethe transition to newer touch technology or the integration of newer technology into new or existing customer products could adversely affect our business, resultsof operations, and financial condition. 8 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 the unpredictability in our customer product development and the nature of the markets in which we compete, it is extremely difficult for usto forecast accurately. We base our current and future expense levels largely on our investment plans and estimates of future events, although certain of ourexpense levels are, to a large extent, fixed. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues relative to our planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on our business, results ofoperations 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 ●economic conditions specific to the touchscreen industry; and ●general economic conditions including the spread of the corona-virus (COVID-19) and its potential adverse impact on our global sales. 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 must enhance our sales and technology development organizations. We continually monitor and enhance the effectiveness and breadth of our sales efforts in order to increase market awareness and sales of our technology,especially as we 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 salespersonnel we are targeting. Likewise, our efforts to improve and refine our technology require skilled engineers and programmers. Competition for professionalscapable of expanding our research and development efforts is intense due to the limited number of people available with the necessary technical skills. If we areunable to identify, hire, or retain qualified sales, marketing, and technical personnel, our ability to achieve future revenue may be adversely affected. We may make acquisitions and strategic investments that are dilutive to existing stockholders, 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 stockholders’ 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. We are dependent on the services of our key personnel. Our senior management team consists of two executive officers, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. On June 1, 2019, Maria Ekbecame our new Chief Financial Officer. On January 1, 2020, Urban Forssell became our new Chief Executive Officer. Changes in our management and theunplanned loss of the services of any member of management could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects. 9 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. We may not be successful in our strategic efforts around patent monetization. Our success depends in part on our ability to effectively utilize our intellectual property. From time to time, we explore opportunities to monetize ourpatents. On May 6, 2019, we assigned a portfolio of certain patents to Aequitas Technologies LLC to license or otherwise monetize those patents. If in the futurewe may enter into additional alternative patent monetization strategies, including the sale of patents. Our patent monetization strategies may negatively impact ourfinancial condition, revenue and results of operations. No assurance can be given that we will enter into agreements related to our patent portfolio or that we will besuccessful in any strategic efforts around patent monetization. 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, 2019,our revenues from North America, Asia, and Europe were 48%, 38%, and 13% 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. Security breaches and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure could interfere with our operations, compromise confidentialinformation, and expose us to liability which could materially adversely impact our business and reputation. In the normal course of business, we rely on information technology networks and systems to process, transmit, and store electronic information, and tomanage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Additionally, we collect and store certain data, including proprietary business information andcustomer and employee data, and may have access to confidential or personal information in certain of our businesses that is subject to privacy and security laws,regulations, and customer-imposed controls. Despite our cybersecurity measures, our information technology networks and infrastructure may be vulnerable todamage, disruptions, or shutdowns due to attack by hackers or breaches, employee error or malfeasance, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication orutility failures, systems failures, natural disasters, or other catastrophic events. Any such events could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or penaltiesunder privacy laws, disruption in operations, and damage to our reputation, which could materially adversely affect our business.10 Third parties that maintain our confidential and proprietary information could experience a cybersecurity incident. We rely on third parties to provide or maintain some of our information technology and related services. We do not exercise direct control over thesesystems. Despite the implementation of security measures at third party locations, these services are also vulnerable to security breaches or other disruptions.Despite assurances from third parties to protect this information and, where we believe appropriate, our monitoring of the protections employed by these thirdparties, there is a risk the confidentiality of data held by us or by third parties may be compromised and expose us to liability for such breach. 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. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’sobjectives 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 beconsidered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controlissues and instances of fraud involving a company have been, or will be, detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptionsabout the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Overtime, controls may become ineffective because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of theinherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We cannot assure you that we or ourindependent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in our internal controls in the future. A material weakness in our internalcontrols over financial reporting would require management and our independent registered public accounting firm to consider our internal controls as ineffective.If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, we may experience a loss of public confidence, which could have an adverse effect onour business and on the market price of our common stock. Risks Related to Owning Our Stock 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. We currently have fewer than 300 stockholders of record and, therefore, are eligible to terminate the registration of our common stock under theExchange Act and cease being a U.S. public company. Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act allows for the registration of any class of securities to be terminated after a company files a certification with theSEC that the number of holders of record of such class of security is fewer than 300 persons. As of March 2, 2020, there were approximately 150 stockholders ofrecord of our common stock as determined by counting our record holders and the number of participants reflected in a security position listing provided to us bythe Depository Trust Company. Accordingly, we are eligible to deregister our common stock under the Exchange Act. Upon the effectiveness of the termination ofregistration under Section 12 and the applicability of other provisions of the U.S. federal securities law, we would not be required to comply with certain U.S.public company disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, including, but not limited to, annual and quarterly report filings, proxy statement filings andfilings by insiders to disclose the acquisition and disposition of our securities. If our common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could beadversely affected, and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired. On December 27, 2017, we received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, for 30 consecutive days, the bid price for our common stockhad closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Although we regained compliance, there can be noassurance that we will be able to elect or maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Any delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of ouroutstanding shares of common stock, reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our common stock trades, and increase thetransaction costs inherent in trading such shares. The listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stockholm may adversely affect the liquidity and trading prices for our common stock. Our Board of Directors has announced it is evaluating whether to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Stockholm. There is no assurance that ourcommon stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, or that if listed, an active market for trading there will develop. Although we believe a significant numberof our stockholders already are located in Sweden, a listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm may cause changes in the composition of our stockholder base and ourCompany’s future direction. Any listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm may adversely affect liquidity and trading prices for our common stock on the NasdaqStockholm or the Nasdaq Stock Market or both.11 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; ●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 insiders could negatively affect our stock price. Two members of our Board of Directors each beneficially own approximately 18% of the shares of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number ofshares 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 ofour common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. A limited number of stockholders, including directors, hold a significant number of shares of our outstanding common stock. Our two largest stockholders, who both are members of our Board of Directors, hold approximately one-third of the shares of our outstanding votingstock. This concentration of ownership could impact the outcome of stockholder votes, including votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption oramendment of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, and the approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. These factorsmay also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our management or our voting control. 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. 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 may 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 be negatively impacted by insufficient analyst coverage or ifone or more analysts or other third parties publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us. 12 ITEM 1B.UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2.PROPERTIES As of December 31, 2019, we leased office facilities of approximately 7,000 square feet for our corporate headquarters in Stockholm. We also leasedoffice facilities in the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. In addition, our majority subsidiary Pronode Technologies AB leases a workshop ofapproximately 9,000 square feet in Kungsbacka, Sweden. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodateour operations if needed. ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims, andlitigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, employee, customer and vendor disputes. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. 13 PART II ITEM 5.MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OFEQUITY SECURITIES Market Information Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol NEON. Holders As of March 2, 2020, there were approximately 150 stockholders of record of our common stock as determined by counting our record holders and thenumber of participants reflected in a security position listing provided to us by the Depository Trust Company. Because such “DTC participants” are brokers andother institutions holding shares of our common stock on behalf of their customers, we do not know the actual number of unique “street name” stockholdersrepresented by these record holders. Dividends There are no restrictions on our ability to pay dividends. It is currently the intention of the Board of Directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in ourbusiness and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the payment of dividends will depend, amongother factors, upon our earnings, capital requirements, operating results and financial condition. ITEM 6.SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Not Applicable 14 ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto includedelsewhere in this Annual Report. 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 sold approximately 73 million devices that use our technology. In October 2017, we augmentedour licensing business and started to manufacture and ship sensor modules that incorporate our technology. We sell these embedded sensors to OEMs, ODM’s andTier 1 suppliers for use in their products. As of December 31, 2019, we had entered into forty-two technology license agreements with global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. This compares withforty-one technology license agreements as of December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we had sixteen customers using our touchtechnology in products that were being shipped to their customers. The majority of our license fees earned in 2019 and 2018 were from customer shipments ofprinters. As of December 31, 2019, our license customers in the automotive and printer markets have not released all the products that are currently in developmentand that are planned to go into production and market release over the next 12 to 24 months. We now offer our technology to our current and new customers under either a license agreement or a supply agreement, where we sell them amanufactured embedded sensor module that has been customized for use in their products. As of December 31, 2019, we entered into three supply agreements topurchase our embedded sensor modules with global OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers. In addition to direct shipments to our customers, we distribute ourembedded sensor modules through DigiKey. As of December 31, 2019, DigiKey sold and shipped 740 sensor module development kits. We anticipate our revenuewill be generated by a combination of royalties from our existing and new license customers plus sales of our sensor modules. We intend to continue expanding our sensor module product offerings in 2020, including new sensors for delivery to the automotive and other keymarkets in 2090. We expect that over time the sales of sensor modules may constitute the majority of our revenue. In the fourth quarter of 2016, we started selling AirBar, a Neonode branded consumer product incorporating one of our sensor modules, throughdistributors and directly to consumers. We have no current plans to develop new Neonode branded products for the consumer markets. 15 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 non-controlling interests are reported below net loss including non-controlling interests under the heading“Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statements of operations, below comprehensive loss under the heading “Comprehensiveincome loss attributable to non-controlling interests” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and shown as a separate component of stockholders’equity in the consolidated balance sheets. See “Non-controlling Interests” for further discussion. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminatedin consolidation. The consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for theyears ending 2019 and 2018 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as Pronode Technologies AB (Sweden). 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 financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and judgments 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 and judgments. Significant estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction ofperformance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and transaction prices and assessing transfer of control; measuring variableconsideration and other obligations such as product returns and refunds, and product warranties; provisions for uncollectible receivables; determining the netrealizable value of inventory; recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived asset; for leases, determining whether a contract contains a lease, allocatingconsideration between lease and non-lease components, determining incremental borrowing rates, and identifying reassessment events, such as modifications; thevaluation allowance related to our deferred tax assets; and the fair value of options issued for stock-based compensation. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when control of products is transferred to our customers, and when services are completed and accepted by our customers; theamount of revenue we recognize reflects the consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. Our contracts with customers may includecombinations of products and services, for example, a contract that includes products and related engineering services. We structure our contracts such that distinctperformance obligations, such as product sales or license fees, and related engineering services, are clearly defined in each contract. 16 Sales of license fees and AirBar and sensor modules are on a per-unit basis; therefore, we generally satisfy performance obligations as units are shipped toour customers. Non-recurring engineering service performance obligations are satisfied as work is performed and accepted by our customers. We recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.We treat all product shipping and handling charges (regardless of when they occur) as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods, therefore we treat allshipping and handling charges as expenses. Licensing Revenues: We earn revenue from licensing our 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 to us following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating the licensed technology. The licensefor our IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support. For technology license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying technology, we recognize technologylicense revenue when the license is made available to the customer and the customer has a right to use that license. At the end of each reporting period, we recordunbilled license fees, using prior royalty revenue data by customer to make accurate estimates of those royalties. Explicit return rights are not offered to customers. There have been no returns through December 31, 2019. Engineering Services: For technology license or sensor module contracts that require modification or customization of the underlying technology to adapt that technology tocustomer use, we determine whether the technology license or sensor module, and engineering consulting services represent separate performance obligations. Weperform our analysis on a contract-by-contract basis. If there are separate performance obligations, we determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of eachseparate performance obligation to properly recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. We provide engineering consulting services to ourcustomers under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”). Deliverables and payment terms are specified in each SOW. We generally charge an hourly rate forengineering services, and we recognize revenue as engineering services specified in contracts are completed and accepted by our customers. Any upfront paymentswe receive for future non-recurring engineering services are recorded as unearned revenue until that revenue is earned. 17 We believe that recognizing non-recurring engineering services revenues as progress towards completion of engineering services and customeracceptance of those services occurs best reflects the economics of those transactions, because engineering services as tracked in our systems correspond directlywith the value to our customers of our performance completed to date. Hours performed for each engineering project are tracked and reflect progress made on eachproject and are charged at a consistent hourly rate. Revenues from engineering services contracts that are short-term in nature are recorded when those services are complete and accepted by customers. Revenues from engineering services contracts with substantive defined deliverables for which payment terms in the SOW are commensurate with theefforts required to produce such deliverables are recognized as they are completed and accepted by customers. Estimated losses on all SOW projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident. In the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no lossesrelated to SOW projects were recorded. Sensor Modules Revenues: We earn revenue from sales of sensor modules hardware products to our OEM, ODM and Tier 1 supplier customers, who embed our hardware into theirproducts, and from sales of branded consumer products that incorporate our sensor modules sold through distributors or directly to end users. These distributors aregenerally given business terms that allow them to return unsold inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate in various cooperativemarketing programs. Our sales agreements generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty provisions. The timing of revenue recognition related to AirBar modules depends upon how each sale is transacted - either point-of-sale or through distributors. Werecognize revenue for AirBar modules sold point-of-sale (online sales and other direct sales to customers) when we provide the promised product to the customer. Because we generally use distributors to provide AirBar and sensor modules to our customers, however, we analyze the terms of distributor agreements todetermine when control passes from us to our distributors. For sales of AirBar and sensor modules sold through distributors, revenues are recognized when ourdistributors obtain control over our products. Control passes to our distributors when we have a present right to payment for products sold to distributors, thedistributors have legal title to and physical possession of products purchased from us, and the distributors have significant risks and rewards of ownership ofproducts purchased. Distributors participate in various cooperative marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for theseprograms. If actual credits received by distributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience,our revenue could be adversely affected. Under U.S. GAAP, companies may make reasonable aggregations and approximations of returns data to accurately estimate returns. Our AirBar returnsand warranty experience to date has enabled us to make reasonable returns estimates, which are supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenoustransactions. The reserve for future sales returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue and was insignificant as of December 31, 2019and 2018. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our accounts receivable is stated at net realizable value. Our policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of ourcustomers to make required payments. 18 Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) valuation method. 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. In 2018, after a comprehensive evaluation of our AirBarbusiness we recorded a $0.4 million write-down for obsolete or slow moving AirBar component and finished goods inventory which is included in our cost ofgoods sold. In 2019, we wrote down advance payments for a module component and an additional reservation of slow moving AirBar components bought from aproducing partner which together amounted to $0.3 million, which is included in our cost of goods. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s inventory consists primarily of components that will be used in the manufacturing of our sensor modules. Wesegregate 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. We are not required to guarantee any obligations of the JV and there have been nooperations of Neoeye through December 31, 2019. 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. Costs capitalized in projects in process were $8,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2019 and2018, respectively. 19 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 finance 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 flows 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, 2019, 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. 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. Non-controlling Interests We recognize any non-controlling interest, also known as a minority interest, as a separate line item in equity in the consolidated financial statements. Anon-controlling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly owned subsidiary not attributable to us. Generally, any interest that holdsless than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a non-controlling interest; however, there are other factors, such as decision-making rights, that areconsidered as well. We include the amount of net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of theconsolidated statements of operations. 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 non-controlling 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; and (3)Each component of other comprehensive income or loss. 20 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 $105,000 and $(58,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Foreign currency translation (losses) were $(183,000) and$(357,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018. All shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents in the calculations used to determine weighted average number of shares of commonstock outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split for all periods presented. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts fromcommon stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstandingduring the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share foryears ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 exclude the potential common 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 loss. 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 rates for the consolidated statements of operations were as follows: Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 Swedish Krona 9.46 8.70 Japanese Yen 109.01 110.43 South Korean Won 1,165.70 1,100.50 Taiwan Dollar 30.90 30.15 21 Exchange rates for the consolidated balance sheets were as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2018 Swedish Krona 9.34 8.87 Japanese Yen 108.66 109.69 South Korean Won 1,154.56 1,113.63 Taiwan Dollar 30.00 30.61 Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues consist primarily of prepayments for license fees, and other products or services for which we have been paid in advance, and earn therevenue when we transfer control of the product or service. Deferred revenues may also include upfront payments for consulting services to be performed in thefuture, such as non-recurring engineering services. We defer license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition, which is when a license is made available to a customer andthat customer has a right to use the license. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until engineering services have been completed and accepted byour customers. We defer AirBar and sensor modules revenues until distributors sell the products to their end customers Under U.S. GAAP, companies may make reasonable aggregations and approximations of returns data to accurately estimate returns. Our AirBar andsensor module returns and warranty experience to date has enabled us to make reasonable returns estimates, which are supported by the fact that our product salesinvolve homogenous transactions. The reserve for future sales returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue and was insignificant as ofDecember 31, 2019 and 2018. The following table presents our deferred revenues by source (in thousands); Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 Deferred license fees revenues $28 $- Deferred NRE revenues 20 - Deferred AirBar revenues 6 59 Deferred sensor modules revenues 13 16 $67 $75 22 New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02 (and subsequent accountingstandards updates), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a leaseliability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset thatrepresents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The effective date of the new lease standard (ASC 842) was January 1, 2019, and we adopted the new standard on that date. We used the modifiedretrospective approach, which allowed us to make any necessary transition adjustments at January 1, 2019. We elected the optional transition method, whichallowed us to continue to use disclosures required by the prior standard during 2019, the year of adoption. There were also several practical expedients available tomake the transition more efficient and cost-effective for companies. We elected the package of three practical expedients available to us; doing so allowed us to notreassess existing leases. We currently have a limited number of leased capital assets, all of which were classified as finance leases under the new lease standard. We maintain alease inventory for those assets; they are currently reported on our consolidated balance sheets under the new standard. We analyzed our operating leases, andincluded two material operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets beginning January 1, 2019. Because of the small number of assets we lease, we did notneed to make systems changes to comply with the new standard. We continue to track leased assets outside of our accounting systems. We did not experiencematerial changes in financial ratios, leasing practices, or tax reporting. In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments”, (“ASU 2016-13”), supplemented by subsequent accounting standards updates. The new standard requires entities to measure all expected creditlosses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 andthe subsequent accounting standards updates were scheduled to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoptionpermitted. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to delay implementation of the new credit losses standard for smaller reporting companies, among otherorganizations, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In the future, we will evaluate the impact ASU 2016-13 (and subsequent accounting standardsupdates) will have on our consolidated financial statements, specifically regarding our trade receivables; however, we do not expect any significant impact fromimplementation of the new standard. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Tax, which simplifies theaccounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We arecurrently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements. 23 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 73 million devices that use our technology. In December 2017, we augmented our licensing business and started to manufacture and sellsensor modules that incorporate our technology. A summary of our financial results for the years ended December 31, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages): 2019 2018 Variance in Dollars Variance in Percent Revenue: License Fees $5,966 $7,954 $(1,988) (25.0)%Percentage of revenue 89.8% 93.2% Sensor Modules 560 227 333 146.7%Percentage of revenue 8.4% 2.7% NRE 120 357 (237) (66.4)%Percentage of revenue 1.8% 4.2% Total Revenue $6,646 $8,538 $(1,892) (22.2)% Cost of Sales: Sensor Modules $499 $638 $(139) (21.8)%Percentage of revenue 7.5% 7.5% NRE 184 283 (99) (35.0)%Percentage of revenue 2.8% 3.3% Total Cost of Sales $683 $921 $(238) (25.8)% Total Gross Margin $5,963 $7,617 $(1,654) (21.7)% Operating Expense: Research and Development $5,239 $5,278 $(39) (0.7)%Percentage of revenue 78.8% 61.8% Sales and Marketing 2,158 1,995 163 8.2%Percentage of revenue 32.5% 23.4% General and Administrative 4,296 4,221 75 1.8%Percentage of revenue 64.6% 49.4% Total Operating Expenses $11,693 $11,494 $199 1.7%Percentage of revenue 175.9% 134.6% Operating Loss $(5,730) $(3,877) $(1,853) 47.8%Percentage of revenue (86.2)% (45.4)% Other Expenses (34) (52) 18 (34.6)%Percentage of revenue (0.5)% (0.6)% Net Loss attributable to Neonode Inc. $(5,298) $(3,060) $(2,238) 73.1%Percentage of revenue (79.7)% (35.8)% Net Loss attributable to Neonode Inc.

The following table presents revenues by market and NRE for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): 2019 Amount Percentage Revenues from Automotive $1,839 28%Revenues from Consumer electronics 4,127 62%Revenues from Sensor modules 560 8%Revenues from NRE 120 2%Total $6,646 100% 2018 Amount Percentage Revenues from Automotive $1,627 19%Revenues from Consumer electronics 6,327 74%Revenues from Sensor modules 227 3%Revenues from NRE 357 4%Total $8,538 100% We have historically licensed our technology to OEMs, ODM’s and Tier 1 suppliers who embed it in their products based upon our custom designs andwe charge these customers a non-recurring fee to offset our engineering costs. We sell a Neonode branded consumer product, AirBar and in October 2017 weadded sales of embedded sensor modules to our business model. Our sensor modules provide a hardware-based technology solution, which allows our customers away to use our zForce AIR technology while forgoing the complex design and manufacturing phase associated with our licensing model. We now earn revenuefrom a combination of licensing plus selling our embedded sensor modules and AirBar. During 2019 and 2018 we continued to focus our efforts on maintaining our current licensing customers and achieve design wins for new products bothwith current and future customers. We made investments enhancing the design of selected embedded sensor modules and setting-up partner networks for sales anddistribution. As of December 31, 2019, we had entered into forty-two technology license agreements with global OEMs, ODMs and Tier 1 suppliers and sixteen of ourcustomers are currently shipping products. This compares with forty-one technology license agreements with global OEMs, ODM’s and Tier 1 suppliers as ofDecember 31, 2018. We expect to continue to earn license fees in future years and anticipate our customers will continue to release new products that embed our technologyunder a license agreement. License fees were the majority of our total revenue in the past three years and decreased by 25% in 2019 as compared to 2018, primarilydue to a 87% decrease in license fees earned from our e-reader customers and 27% decrease in license fees earned from our printer customers partially offset by a13% increase in license fees from our automotive customers. In addition to license fees, a portion of our revenues is attributable embedded sensor modules which we began selling in October 2017. We are focusingour efforts on markets such as medical technology, industrial control systems and avionics. During 2017, we entered into a U.S. distribution agreement with Digi-Key and they currently have a range of sensor modules and development kits for sale. We currently have supply agreements for sensor modules with threecustomers. We sold $560,000 and $227,000 of sensor modules in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenues from license fees and sensor module sales may be negatively impacted in 2020 due to the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19). Many ofour customers source their components from suppliers in China. Uncertainty about the availability of these components, or the future demand for products due to anegative economic impact from the global spread of the coronavirus, may cause our customers to alter their purchasing decisions and reduce demand for theirproducts, thereby adversely affecting our future results of operations. 25 Non-recurring engineering fees (“NRE”) decreased 66% in 2019 as compared to 2018 due to a decline of new license customers and related NRE designprojects. In 2019 and 2018, 0% and 80% of our total NRE fees were earned from automotive projects. In 2019, 62% of total NRE fees were earned from avionicscompared to 0% in 2018. We expect to continue to earn NRE fees in 2020 and future years in all our three business areas. Gross Margin Our combined total gross margin was 90% in 2019 compared to 89% in 2018. The slight increase in total gross margin in 2019 as compared to 2018 isprimarily due to higher margin on sales of sensor modules which was partially offset by an increase in valuation reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventoryand lower gross margins on our NRE projects in 2019. In 2019, we wrote down an advance payment for module components and reserved 100% of AirBar components bought from a producing partner. Thesetwo transactions amount to $0.3 million. License fees accounted for 90% of total revenue in 2019 compared to 93% in 2018, with a 100% gross margin. NRE projects had a (53)% gross margin in2019 compared to 21% in 2018 mainly due to investment of time in customer projects in new markets. Our cost of revenues includes the direct cost of production of certain customer prototypes, costs of engineering personnel, engineering consultants tocomplete the engineering design contracts and cost of goods sold for sensor modules includes fully burdened manufacturing costs, outsourced final assembly costs,and component costs of sensor modules. Research and Development Product research and development (“R&D”) expenses for 2019 were 79% of total revenue compared to 62% in 2018. R&D in 2019 decreased 1%compared to 2018 primarily currency related. There were twenty-seven employees and seven consultants in our Research and Development department in 2019compared to twenty-four employees and three consultants in 2018. Our R&D groups are primarily tasked with developing technology and software platforms to support our sensor modules and our customer integrationactivities for both our sensor hardware and license agreements. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expenses for 2019 were 32% of total revenue compared to 23% in 2018. Sales and marketing expenses in 2019 increased 8.2%compared to 2018 primarily related to investment in a new partner program including marketing and sales promotion in the U.S. We had six employees and sixconsultants in our sales and marketing department in 2019 compared to six employees and three consultants in 2018. There is no stock-based compensationexpense included in sales and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to approximately $6,000 for the year ended December 31,2018. Our sales activities focus on OEM, ODM and Tier 1 customers who will license our technology or purchase and embed our touch sensor modules intotheir products. Our customers will then sell and market their products incorporating our technology to their customers. We expect to expand our licensing andsensor module sales and marketing activities in 2020 and future years to capture market share in our target markets. General and Administrative General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were 65% of revenue in 2019 compared to 49% in 2018. Total G&A expenses in 2019 increased 2% from2018. The increase is primarily related to a write down of prepaid prototype work. As of December 31, 2019, we had nine full-time employees and one consultantin our G&A department fulfilling management and accounting responsibilities compared to ten full-time employees and one consultant as of December 31, 2018.There is no non-cash stock-based compensation included in G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to approximately $23,000 for the yearended December 31, 2018. 26 Interest Expense Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $34,000 compared to $49,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The interest expensewas mainly related to finance 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 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 $105,000 and $(58,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Foreign currency translation gains or (losses) were $(183,000)and $(357,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 0% in the year ended December 31, 2019 and 0% in the year ended 2018. We recorded valuation allowances in 2019 and 2018for 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, 2019, compared to a net loss of $3.1million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Contractual Obligation and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have a bank guarantee in favor of a manufacturing partner of $210,000 for AirBar packaging material. We do not have any other transactions,arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources other than the operating leasesincurred in the normal course of business. 27 We have no special purpose or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support. We do notengage in leasing, hedging, research and development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of the consolidatedfinancial statements.

The implicit interest rate of the lease is currently approximately 1.5% per annum. Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs On April 25, 2013, we entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement with an effective date of December 6, 2012 (the “NN1002 Agreement”)with Texas Instruments (“TI”) pursuant to which TI agreed to integrate our intellectual property into an ASIC. Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement, weagreed to pay TI $500,000 of non-recurring engineering costs at the rate of $0.25 per ASIC for each of the first 2 million ASICs sold. As of December 31, 2019,we had made no payments to TI under the NN1002 Agreement. On December 4, 2014, we entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement (the “NN1003 Agreement”) with STMicroelectronics InternationalN.V. (“STMicro”) pursuant to which STMicro agreed to integrate our intellectual property into an ASIC. The NN1003 ASIC only can be sold by STMicroexclusively to our licensees. Under the terms of the NN1003 Agreement, we agreed to reimburse STMicro up to $835,000 of non-recurring engineering costs. Asof December 31, 2019 we paid a total of $835,000 of the non-recurring engineering costs. 29 Liquidity and Capital Resources Our liquidity is dependent on many factors, including sales volume, operating profit and the efficiency of asset use and turnover. Our future liquidity willbe affected by, among other things: ●actual versus anticipated licensing of our technology; ●actual versus anticipated purchases of our sensor products, including AirBar; ●actual versus anticipated operating expenses; ●timing of our OEM customer product shipments; ●timing of payment for our technology licensing agreements; ●actual versus anticipated gross profit margin; and ●ability to raise additional capital, if necessary. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $2.4 million, as compared to $6.6 million as of December 31, 2018. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) was $2.4 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to working capital of $8.2 million as ofDecember 31, 2018. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $3.5 million was primarily the result of a net loss including noncontrollinginterests of approximately $5.8 million. Cash used to fund net losses is offset by approximately $1.8 million in non-cash operating expenses, mainly comprised ofdepreciation, amortization and write-offs. Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues decreased by approximately $397,000 as of December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. Inventory decreased by approximately $124,000 as of December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased approximately $454,000 as of December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. 30 Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $2.9 million was primarily the result of (i) a net loss includingnoncontrolling interests of approximately $3.9 million and (ii) approximately $40,000 in net cash provided in changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarilyaccounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenues. Cash used to fund netlosses is offset by approximately $1.0 million in non-cash operating expenses, mainly comprised of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. Accounts receivable decreased approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2018 compared with December 31, 2017. During 2018, we weresuccessful in collecting cash from sales to our customers substantially in accordance with our standard payment terms to those customers. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased approximately $41,000 as of December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. Deferred revenue decreased approximately $0.9 million during 2018 mainly related to recognition of prepaid license fees from two customers during2018. Net cash used by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 of $0.5 million was mainly the result of principal payments on financeleases. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 was the result of net proceeds of approximately $4.6 million from thesale of our common stock. This increase was offset by principal payments on finance leases of $0.6 million. In the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we purchased $89,000 and $236,000, respectively of fixed assets, consisting primarily of leasingequipment and engineering equipment. On December 28, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with foreign investors as part of a non-brokered private placement pursuant towhich we issued a total of 2,940,767 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share for a purchase price of $4.6 million in net proceeds. The common stock issued inthe private placement was not registered for resale and we are not required under the Securities Purchase Agreement to register the issued stock for resale. Thepurchasers in the private placement included Neonode directors, Ulf Rosberg and Andreas Bunge, and members of management and certain employees of theCompany, including former Chief Executive Officer Hakan Persson and former Chief Financial Officer Lars Lindqvist. The Neonode directors and members ofmanagement and employees individually purchased an aggregate of approximately $2 million of common stock as part of the private placement. In addition, majorshareholder and now director Peter Lindell also purchased shares. Mr. Lindell and Mr. Rosberg are each a beneficial owner of approximately 18% of Neonodecommon stock. 31 In March 2017, we filed a $20 million shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective on March 24, 2017. Subject to the availability ofsufficient shares of authorized common stock, we may from time to time issue shares of our common stock under our shelf registration in amounts, at prices, andon terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, willbe described in a prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement will expire on March 24,2020. On September 27, 2018, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its restated certificate of incorporate with the state of Delaware to effect areverse stock split, effective October 1, 2018. The Company also filed a certificate of amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the state ofDelaware to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares. The filing did not affect the number of authorizedpreferred stock of 1,000,000 shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one share of common stock, withoutany change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued, therefore shareholders entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the reversestock split received a cash payment instead. There was no financial impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All shares and per shareinformation in this Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split, including reclassifying any amount equalto the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. Effective June 11, 2019, the Company further amended its restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of commonstock to 15,000,000 shares. 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 aim to grow our revenues in all business areas and continue to implement various measures to improve our operational efficiencies. No assurancescan be given that management will be successful in meeting its revenue 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. Historically, we have been able to access the capital marketsthrough sales of common stock and warrants to generate liquidity. Our management believes it could raise capital through public or private offerings if needed toprovide us with sufficient liquidity. 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 notavailable on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to adequately fund our business plans and it could have a negative effect on our business, results ofoperations and financial condition. In addition, no assurance can be given that stockholders will approve an increase in the number of our authorized shares ofcommon stock. If funds and sufficient authorized shares are available, the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity could dilute the value ofshares of our common stock and cause the market price to fall, and the issuance of debt securities could impose restrictive covenants that could impair our abilityto engage in certain business transactions.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Neonode Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31,2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the periodended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financialstatements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and itscash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidatedfinancial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required tohave, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding ofinternal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, andperforming procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in theconsolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ KMJ Corbin & Company LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

F-7 NEONODE INC. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1.Nature of the Business and Operations Background and Organization Neonode Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1997 as the parent of Neonode AB, a company 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) (sold December 27, 2018); NEON TechnologyInc. (U.S.) (dissolved November 19, 2018); and Neonode Americas Inc. (U.S.) (dissolved November 19, 2018). In 2014, we established one additional whollyowned subsidiary: Neonode Korea Ltd. (South Korea). In 2015, we established one additional wholly owned subsidiary: Neonode Taiwan Ltd. (Taiwan). In 2015,we established Pronode Technologies AB, a majority-owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB. In 2016, we entered into a joint venture, named Neoeye AB,between SMART EYE AB and our subsidiary Neonode Technologies AB. Operations Neonode Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries is referred to as “Neonode”, develops optical touch and gesture control solutions for human interactionwith devices (“HMI”) and remote sensing solutions for driver monitoring and cabin monitoring features in automotive and other applications. Neonode’s main business model is to license the technology to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Tier 1 system suppliers who embed thetechnology into systems and products they develop, manufacture and sell. In addition, Neonode designs and manufactures sensor modules that incorporate our zForce AIR technology and sells the embedded sensors to OEMs,Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) and Tier 1 suppliers for use in their systems and products. Neonode began shipping sensor modules in October 2017. Neonode also manufactures and sells through distributors, a Neonode branded AirBar product that incorporates one of the sensor modules. Liquidity We incurred net losses of approximately $5.3 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and had anaccumulated deficit of approximately $190.5 million as of December 31, 2019. In addition, we used cash in operating activities of approximately $3.5 million and$2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In March 2017, we filed a $20 million shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective on March 24, 2017. Subject to the availability ofsufficient shares of authorized common stock, we may from time to time issue shares of our common stock under our shelf registration in amounts, at prices, andon terms to be announced when and if the securities are offered. The specifics of any future offerings, along with the use of proceeds of any securities offered, willbe described in a prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, at the time of the offering. Our shelf registration statement will expire on March 24,2020. F-8 December 2018 Private Placement On December 28, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with foreign investors as part of a non-brokered private placement pursuant towhich we issued a total of 2,940,767 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share for net proceeds of $4.6 million. The common stock issued in the privateplacement is not registered for resale and we are not required under the Securities Purchase Agreement to register the issued stock for resale. The purchasers in theprivate placement included Neonode directors, Ulf Rosberg and Andreas Bunge, and members of management and certain employees of the Company, includingthe former Chief Executive Officer, Hakan Persson, and the former Chief Financial Officer, Lars Lindqvist. The Neonode directors and members of managementand employees individually purchased an aggregate of approximately $2 million of common stock as part of the private placement. In addition, major shareholderand now director, Peter Lindell, also purchased shares. Mr. Lindell and Mr. Rosberg are each a beneficial owner of approximately 18% of Neonode commonstock. 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, sensor modules, non-recurring engineering fees and AirBar sales will enable us to reduce our operating lossesin coming years. In addition, we intend to continue to implement various measures to improve our operational efficiencies. No assurances can be given thatmanagement will be successful in meeting its revenue 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. F-9 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 it has a controlling financial interest. We consolidate subsidiaries in which we hold, directly or indirectly, morethan 50% of the voting rights. The consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders equityand cash flows for the years ended 2019 and 2018 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries as well as Pronode Technologies AB. Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires making estimates and judgments 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 and judgments. Significant estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction ofperformance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, and transaction prices and assessing transfer of control; measuring variableconsideration and other obligations such as product returns and refunds, and product warranties; provisions for uncollectible receivables; determining the netrealizable value of inventory; recoverability of capitalized project costs and long-lived asset; for leases, determining whether a contract contains a lease, allocatingconsideration between lease and non-lease components, determining incremental borrowing rates, and identifying reassessment events, such as modifications; thevaluation allowance related to our deferred tax assets; and the fair value of options issued for stock-based compensation. Cash and Cash Equivalents 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 U.S., Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Sweden. For deposits held with financial institutions in the U.S., theU.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner. The Swedish government provides insurancecoverage up to 100,000 Euro per customer and covers deposits in all types of accounts. The Japanese government provides insurance coverage up to 10,000,000Yen per customer. The Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation provides insurance coverage up to 50,000,000 Won per customer. The Central Deposit InsuranceCorporation in Taiwan provides insurance coverage up to 3,000,000 Taiwan Dollar per customer. At times, deposits held with financial institutions may exceed theamount of insurance provided. F-10 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable is 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. Should allefforts fail to recover the related receivable, we will write off the account. We also record an allowance for all customers based on certain other factors includingthe length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately$85,000 and $149,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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. Costs capitalized in projects in process were $8,000 as of December 31, 2019. There wereno costs capitalized in projects in process as of December 31, 2018. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) valuation method. 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. Due to the low sell-through of our AirBar products, management has decided to fully reserve work-in-process for AirBar components, as well as AirBarrelated raw materials. Management has further decided to reserve for a portion of AirBar finished goods, depending on type of AirBar and in which location it isstored. The AirBar inventory reserve was $0.8 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In order to protect our manufacturing partners from losses in relation to AirBar production, we agreed to secure the value of the inventory with a bankguarantee. Since the sale of AirBars has been lower than expected, a major part of the inventory at the partner remained unused when the due date of the bankguarantee neared and Neonode therefore agreed that the partner should keep inventory for the production of 20,000 AirBars and the rest be purchased by us. Theinventory value of these purchases has been fully reserved. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s inventory consists primarily of components that will be used in the manufacturing of our sensor modules. Wesegregate inventory for reporting purposes by raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods. Raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods are as follows (in thousands): December 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Raw materials $396 $246 Work-in-process 186 220 Finished goods 448 753 Ending inventory $1,030 $1,219 Investment in Joint Venture We invested $3,000 for a 50% interest in Neoeye AB. We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting since the investmentprovides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. We are not required to guarantee any obligations of the joint venture.There have been no operations of Neoeye through December 31, 2019. F-11 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 finance 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. Right-of-Use Assets A right-of-use asset represents a lessee’s right to use a leased asset for the term of the lease. Our right-of-use assets generally consist of operating leasesfor buildings. Right-of-use assets are measured initially at the present value of the lease payments, plus any lease payments made before a lease began and any initialdirect costs, such as commissions paid to obtain a lease. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, adjusted for incentives, prepaid or accrued rent, andany initial direct costs not yet expensed. 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, 2019, 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 (losses)resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations andwere $105,000 and $(58,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Foreign currency translation gains or (losses) were $(183,000)and $(357,000) during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Concentration of Credit and Business Risks Our customers are located in United States, Europe and Asia. As of December 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 72% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues. As of December 31, 2018, four customers represented approximately 67% of our consolidated accounts receivable and unbilled revenues. Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 38% ●Epson – 16% ●Alpine – 15% F-12 Customers who accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows. ●Hewlett-Packard Company – 35% ●Epson – 14% ●Canon – 12% The Company conducts business in the United States, Europe and Asia. At December 31, 2019, the Company maintained approximately $2,637,000,$1,148,000 and $62,000 of its net assets in the United States, Europe and Asia, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the Company maintained approximately$2,537,000, $7,187,000 and $72,000 of its net assets in the United States, Europe and Asia, respectively. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when control of products is transferred to our customers, and when services are completed and accepted by our customers; theamount of revenue we recognize reflects the consideration we expect to receive for those products or services. Our contracts with customers may includecombinations of products and services, for example, a contract that includes products and related engineering services. We structure our contracts such that distinctperformance obligations, such as product sales or license fees, and related engineering services, are clearly defined in each contract. License fees for products and sales of AirBar and sensor modules are on a per-unit basis; therefore, we generally satisfy performance obligations as unitsare shipped to our customers. Non-recurring engineering service performance obligations are satisfied as work is performed and accepted by our customers. We recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.We treat all product shipping and handling charges (regardless of when they occur) as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods, therefore we treat allshipping and handling charges as expenses. Licensing Revenues: We earn revenue from licensing our 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 to us following the distribution by our licensees of products incorporating the licensed technology. The licensefor our IP has standalone value and can be used by the licensee without maintenance and support. For technology license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying technology, we recognize technologylicense revenue when the license is made available to the customer and the customer has a right to use that license. At the end of each reporting period, we recordunbilled license fees, using prior royalty revenue data by customer to make accurate estimates of those royalties. Explicit return rights are not offered to customers. There have been no returns through December 31, 2019. Engineering Services: For technology license or sensor module contracts that require modification or customization of the underlying technology to adapt that technology tocustomer use, we determine whether the technology license or sensor module, and engineering consulting services represent separate performance obligations. Weperform our analysis on a contract-by-contract basis. If there are separate performance obligations, we determine the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of eachseparate performance obligation to properly recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. We provide engineering consulting services to ourcustomers under a signed Statement of Work (“SOW”). Deliverables and payment terms are specified in each SOW. We generally charge an hourly rate forengineering services, and we recognize revenue as engineering services specified in contracts are completed and accepted by our customers. Any upfront paymentswe receive for future non-recurring engineering services are recorded as unearned revenue until that revenue is earned. F-13 We believe that recognizing non-recurring engineering services revenues as progress towards completion of engineering services and customeracceptance of those services occurs best reflects the economics of those transactions, because engineering services as tracked in our systems correspond directlywith the value to our customers of our performance completed to date. Hours performed for each engineering project are tracked and reflect progress made on eachproject and are charged at a consistent hourly rate. Revenues from engineering services contracts that are short-term in nature are recorded when those services are complete and accepted by customers. Revenues from engineering services contracts with substantive defined deliverables for which payment terms in the SOW are commensurate with theefforts required to produce such deliverables are recognized as they are completed and accepted by customers. Estimated losses on all SOW projects are recognized in full as soon as they become evident. In the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no lossesrelated to SOW projects were recorded. Optical Sensor Modules Revenues: We earn revenue from sales of sensor modules hardware products to our OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers, who embed our hardware into theirproducts, and from sales of branded consumer products that incorporate our sensor modules sold through distributors or directly to end users. These distributors aregenerally given business terms that allow them to return unsold inventory, receive credits for changes in selling prices, and participate in various cooperativemarketing programs. Our sales agreements generally provide customers with limited rights of return and warranty provisions. The timing of revenue recognition related to AirBar modules depends upon how each sale is transacted - either point-of-sale or through distributors. Werecognize revenue for AirBar modules sold point-of-sale when we provide the promised product to the customer. Because we generally use distributors to provide AirBar and sensor modules to our customers, however, we analyze the terms of distributor agreements todetermine when control passes from us to our distributors. For sales of AirBar and sensor modules sold through distributors, revenues are recognized when ourdistributors obtain control over our products. Control passes to our distributors when we have a present right to payment for products sold to distributors, thedistributors have legal title to and physical possession of products purchased from us, and the distributors have significant risks and rewards of ownership ofproducts purchased. Distributors participate in various cooperative marketing and other incentive programs, and we maintain estimated accruals and allowances for theseprograms. If actual credits received by distributors under these programs were to deviate significantly from our estimates, which are based on historical experience,our revenue could be adversely affected. Under U.S. GAAP, companies may make reasonable aggregations and approximations of returns data to accurately estimate returns. Our AirBar returnsand warranty experience to date has enabled us to make reasonable returns estimates, which are supported by the fact that our product sales involve homogenoustransactions. The reserve for future sales returns is recorded as a reduction of our accounts receivable and revenue and was insignificant as of December 31, 2019and 2018. If the actual future returns were to deviate from the historical data on which the reserve had been established, our revenue could be adversely affected. The following table presents disaggregated revenues by market for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2019 Year ended December 31, 2018 Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Net license revenues from automotive $1,839 28% $1,627 19%Net license revenues from consumer electronics 4,127 62% 6,327 74%Net revenues from sensor modules 560 8% 227 3%Net revenues from non-recurring engineering 120 2% 357 4% $6,646 100% $8,538 100% F-14 Significant Judgments Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer, particularly when one of our customerscontracts with us for a product and related engineering services fees for customizing that product for our customer. Determining whether products and services areconsidered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment. Judgment may also be required to determinethe SSP for each distinct performance obligation identified, although we generally structure our contracts such that performance obligations and pricing for eachperformance obligation are specifically addressed. We currently have no outstanding contracts with multiple performance obligations; however, we recentlynegotiated a contract that may include multiple performance obligations in the future. Judgment is also required to determine when control of products passes from us to our distributors, as well as the amounts of product that may be returnedto us. Our products are sold with a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives to our customers, which could result in variability whendetermining the amount of revenue to recognize. At the end of each reporting period, we use product returns history and additional information that becomesavailable to estimate returns and credits. We do not recognize revenue if it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue would occur. Finally, judgment is required to determine the amount of unbilled license fees at the end of each reporting period. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when we have an unconditional right toreceive future payments from customers, and we record unearned deferred revenue when we receive prepayments or upfront payments for goods or services fromour customers. The following table presents accounts receivable, unbilled revenues and deferred revenues as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands): December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues $1,324 $1,830 Deferred revenues 67 75 The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled revenues (contract assets), and customeradvances and deposits or deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition,resulting in contract assets; contract assets are generally classified as current. The Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers beforerevenue is recognized, which are reported as contract liabilities and are generally classified as current. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidatedbalance sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. F-15 We do not anticipate impairment of our contract asset related to license fee revenues, given the creditworthiness of our customers whose invoicescomprise the balance in that asset account. We will continue to monitor the timeliness of receipts from those customers, however, to assess whether the contractasset has been impaired. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowancebased on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Payment terms and conditions vary by the type of contract; however, payments generally occur 30-60 days after invoicing for license fees and sensormodules to our resellers and distributors. Where revenue recognition timing differs from invoice timing, we have determined that our contracts do not include asignificant financing component. Our intent is to provide our customers with consistent invoicing terms for the convenience of our customers, not to receivefinancing from our customers. Costs to Obtain Contracts We record the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset, if we expect the benefit of those costs to cover a period greater thanone year. We currently have no incremental costs that must be capitalized. We expense as incurred costs of obtaining a contract when the amortization period of those costs would have been less than or equal to one year. Product Warranty The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability (in thousands): Years ended December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Balance at beginning of period $17 $35 Provisions for warranty issued 7 (18)Balance at end of period $24 $17 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. F-16 Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues consist primarily of prepayments for license fees, and other products or services for which we have been paid in advance, and earn therevenue when we transfer control of the product or service. Deferred revenues may also include upfront payments for consulting services to be performed in thefuture, such as non-recurring engineering services. We defer license fees until we have met all accounting requirements for revenue recognition, which is when a license is made available to a customer andthat customer has a right to use the license. Engineering development fee revenues are deferred until engineering services have been completed and accepted byour customers. The following table presents our deferred revenues by source (in thousands); As ofDecember 31, 2019 2018 Deferred license revenues $28 $- Deferred NRE revenues 20 - Deferred AirBar revenues 6 59 Deferred sensor modules revenues 13 16 $67 $75 Contracted revenue not yet recognized was $67,000 as of December 31, 2019; we expect to recognize approximately 100% of that revenue over the nexttwelve months. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $75,000 and $1.2 million, for 2019 and 2018 respectively, related to contract liabilitiesoutstanding at the beginning of the year. 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 $82,000 and $120,000 for the years endedDecember 31, 2019 and 2018, 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. We account for equity instruments issued to non-employees at their estimated fair value. 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. F-17 Noncontrolling Interests We recognize any noncontrolling interest, also known as a minority interest, as a separate line item in equity in the consolidated financial statements. Anoncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly owned subsidiary not attributable to us. Generally, any interest that holdsless than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a noncontrolling interest; however, there are other factors, such as decision-making rights, that areconsidered as well. We include the amount of net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net income (loss) on the face of theconsolidated statements of operations. 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; and (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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018. We effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on October 1, 2018. All shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalentsin the calculations used to determine weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the reverse stocksplit for all periods presented. Net loss per share, assuming dilution amounts from common stock equivalents, is computed based on the weighted-average numberof shares of common stock and potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted-average number of shares of common stock andpotential common stock equivalents used in computing the net loss per share for years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 exclude the potential common stockequivalents, as the effect would be anti-dilutive (see Note 14). Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Our 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 loss. 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, 2019 2018 Swedish Krona 9.46 8.70 Japanese Yen 109.01 110.43 South Korean Won 1,165.70 1,100.50 Taiwan Dollar 30.90 30.15 F-18 Exchange rate for the consolidated balance sheets was as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2018 Swedish Krona 9.34 8.87 Japanese Yen 108.66 109.69 South Korean Won 1,154.56 1,113.63 Taiwan Dollar 30.00 30.61 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02 (and several subsequent accountingstandards updates), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a leaseliability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset thatrepresents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The effective date of the new lease standard (ASC 842) was January 1, 2019, and we adopted the new standard on that date. We used the requiredmodified retrospective approach, which allowed us to make any necessary transition adjustments at January 1, 2019. We elected the optional transition method,which allowed us to continue to use disclosures required by the prior standard during 2019, the year of adoption. There were also several practical expedientsavailable to make the transition more efficient and cost-effective for companies. We elected the package of three practical expedients available to us; doing soallowed us to not reassess existing leases. We currently have a limited number of leased capital assets, all of which were classified as finance leases under the new lease standard. We maintain alease inventory for those assets; they are currently reported on our consolidated balance sheets under the new standard. We analyzed our operating leases, andincluded two material operating leases on our consolidated balance sheets beginning January 1, 2019 which resulted in recording operating lease right-of-use assetsand operating lease obligations of approximately $0.9 million. We did not have any equity adjustment related to our implementation of the new standard, and wewill continue to provide disclosures related to leases. Because of the small number of assets we lease, we did not need to make systems changes to comply with thenew standard. We continue to track leased assets outside of our accounting systems. We did not experience material changes in financial ratios, leasing practices,or tax reporting. F-19 In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on FinancialInstruments”, (“ASU 2016-13”), supplemented by ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815,Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, (“ASU 2019-04”), ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, (“ASU2019-05”), and ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”, (“ASU 2018-19”), and ASU 2019-11,“Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“ASU 2019-11”). The new standard requires entities to measure all expectedcredit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 and the subsequent accounting standards updates were scheduled to become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoptionpermitted. On October 16, 2019, the FASB voted to delay implementation of the new credit losses standard for smaller reporting companies, among otherorganizations, until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In the future, we will evaluate the impact ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 andASU 2018-19 will have on our consolidated financial statements, specifically regarding our trade receivables; however, we do not expect any significant impactfrom implementation of the new standard. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Tax, which simplifies theaccounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We arecurrently evaluating the impact ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements. F-20 3.Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets Prepaid expense and other current assets consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2019 2018 Prepaid insurance $223 $168 Prepaid rent 4 41 VAT receivable 211 176 Prepaid inventory - 120 Advances to suppliers 51 155 Other 226 230 Total prepaid expenses and other current assets $715 $890 4.Property and Equipment Property and equipment consist of the following (in thousands): As of December 31, 2019 2018 Computers, software, furniture and fixtures $1,406 $1,407 Equipment under capital lease 3,348 3,525 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (3,171) (2,448)Property and equipment, net $1,583 $2,484 Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows: Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. We had noLevel 1 assets or liabilities. Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. We had no Level 2 assets or liabilities. Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which inputs are unobservable, and those inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value ofthe assets or liabilities. We had no Level 3 assets or liabilities. There were no assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in 2019 and 2018. 7.Stockholders’ Equity Common Stock On September 27, 2018, the Company filed the certificate of amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the state of Delaware to effect areverse stock split, effective October 1, 2018. The Company also filed a certificate of amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation with the state ofDelaware to reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares. The filing did not affect the number of authorizedpreferred stock of 1,000,000 shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one share of common stock, withoutany change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued, therefore stockholders entitled to receive a fractional share in connection with the reversestock split received a cash payment instead. There was no financial impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. All shares and per shareinformation in this Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split, including reclassifying any amount equalto the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. On December 28, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with foreign investors, as part of a non-brokered private placement pursuant towhich a total of 2,940,767 shares of common stock were issued. See Note 1 for more information. Effective June 11, 2019, the Company further amended its restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of commonstock to 15,000,000 shares. Warrants and Other Common Stock Activity During the year ended December 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 360,000 shares of common stock were exercised for proceeds of $36,000. No warrantswere exercised during 2018. F-22 A summary of all warrant activity is set forth below: Outstanding and exercisable Warrants WeightedAverageExercise Price WeightedAverage RemainingContractualLife January 1, 2018 1,116,368 $10.18 3.68 Issued - - - December 31, 2018 1,116,368 $10.18 2.68 Issued - - - Expired/forfeited - - - Exercised (360,000) 0.10 - Outstanding and exercisable, December 31, 2019 756,368 $14.98 1.47 Outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock as of December 31, 2019: Description Issue Date Exercise Price Shares Expiration Date August 2016 Purchase Warrants 08/17/16 $11.20 431,368 02/17/22August 2017 Purchase Warrants 08/08/17 $20.00 325,000 08/08/20Total Warrants Outstanding 756,368 Preferred Stock During the year ended December 31, 2019, the only shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding were Series B Preferred Stock. Effective July 1,2019, as described below, all outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock were converted into shares of our common stock. The terms of our Series BPreferred Stock were as follows: Dividends and Distributions The holders of shares of Series B Preferred stock are entitled to participate with the holders of our common stock with respect to any dividends declaredon the common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred stock held by them. Liquidation Preference In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our operations, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of the Series B Preferredstock and Senior Preferred stock, shall be entitled to receive, after any distribution to the holders of senior preferred stock and prior to and in preference to anydistribution to the holders of common stock, $0.001 for each share of Series B Preferred stock then outstanding. F-23 Voting The holders of shares of Series B Preferred stock have one vote for each share of Series B Preferred stock held by them. Conversion Initially, each share of Series B Preferred stock was convertible into one share of our common stock. On March 31, 2009, our stockholders approved aresolution to increase the authorized share capital, and to increase the conversion ratio to 132.07 shares of our common stock for each share of Series B Preferredstock. In November 2018, a holder of 1 share of Series B Preferred stock converted into 132 shares of our common stock. On April 10, 2019, a holder of 2 shares of Series B Preferred stock converted into 264 shares of our common stock. Effective July 1, 2019, the Company implemented a conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. Eachshare of Series B Preferred Stock was automatically converted into 132.07 shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued. In lieu of any fractionalshares, the resulting number of shares of common stock was rounded up to the nearest whole number. Accordingly, 80 shares of Series B Preferred Stock wereconverted into 10,577 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were no shares of series B Preferred Stock outstanding. 8.Stock-Based Compensation We have adopted equity incentive plans for which stock options and restricted stock awards are available to grant to employees, consultants and directors.Except for certain options granted to certain Swedish employees, all employee, consultant and director stock options granted under our stock option plans have anexercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. There are no vesting provisions tied to performance conditions for anyoptions, as vesting for all outstanding option grants was based only on continued service as an employee, consultant or director. All of our outstanding stockoptions and restricted stock awards are classified as equity instruments. Stock Options During the year ended December 31, 2015, our stockholders approved the Neonode Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) which replaced our2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). Although no new awards can be made under the 2006 Plan, it is still operative for previously granted awards. Underthe 2015 Plan, 210,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for awards, including nonqualified stock option grants and restricted stock grants to officers,employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan are set by our compensation committee at its discretion. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019, we had two equity incentive plans: ●The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”). ●The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). F-24 The following table summarizes information with respect to all options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding under the 2006 Plan and the 2015Plan at December 31, 2019: Options OutstandingRange of Exercise Price NumberOutstandingandexercisable at12/31/19 WeightedAverageRemainingContractualLife (years) WeightedAverageExercise Price $ 0 - $ 15.00 32,500 0.90 $14.95 $ 15.01 - $ 30.40 8,000 0.33 $30.40 $ 30.40 - $ 62.10 12,000 0.14 $59.60 52,500 1.37 $27.51 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, 2018 175,600 $41.99 2.18 $ - Options granted 30,000 15.00 - Options exercised - - - Options cancelled or expired (105,800) 41.36 - Options outstanding – December 31, 2018 99,800 $34.55 1.41 - Options granted - - - Options exercised - - - Options cancelled or expired (47,300) 42,35 - Options outstanding and vested – December 31, 2019 52,500 $27.51 1.37 $- F-25 No stock options were granted during the year ended December 31, 2019. There were 30,000 stock options granted in 2018. The assumptions used tovalue stock options granted to directors, employees and consultants during the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows: For the yearended December 31,2018 Annual dividend yield - Expected life (years) 1.5 Risk-free interest rate 2.19%Expected volatility 71.12% During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $0 and $29,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the vesting of stockoptions. The estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date of the stockoption. Stock options granted under the 2006 and 2015 Plans are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant, vest in variousinstallments over a one to four-year period and have exercise prices reflecting the market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. Stock-Based Compensation The stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 reflects the estimated fair value of the vested portion of optionsgranted to directors, employees and non-employees. Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 (In thousands) Sales and marketing $- $6 General and administrative - 23 Stock-based compensation expense $ - $29 There is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options as of December 31, 2019. F-26 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 risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the corresponding period of grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatilityof our stock price. These factors could change in the future, which would affect fair values of stock options granted in such future periods and could causevolatility in the total amount of the stock-based compensation expense reported in future periods. 9.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, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018. One of our manufacturing partners has previously purchased material for the final assembly of AirBars. To protect the manufacturer from losses inrelation to AirBar production, we agreed to secure the value of the inventory in a bank guarantee. The initial guarantee was for $345,000 and valid until December31, 2019. Since the sale of AirBars has been lower than expected, a major part of the inventory at the manufacturer remained unused when the due date of the bankguarantee neared. In November 2019, we agreed to purchase the excess AirBar inventory for approximately $141,000 and in conjunction with this, the bank guarantee wasdecreased to $210,000 and is valid until December 31, 2020. Management’s judgment is that the bank guarantee is a contingent guarantee and management will record a liability when it is probable we will have topurchase the inventory. As of March 11, 2020, management’s judgment is that we will sell the remaining AirBars during 2020 and thereby purchase thecomponents and the assembly service from the manufacturing partner throughout the year. No liability has therefore been recorded for the period ended December31, 2019. Patent Assignment On May 6, 2019, the Company assigned a portfolio of patents to Aequitas Technologies LCC. The portfolio contains two patent families comprising nineU.S. patents, five non-U.S. patents and three pending U.S. patent applications. The assignment provides the Company the right to share potential proceedsgenerated from a licensing and monetization program. Non-Recurring Engineering Development Costs On April 25, 2013, we entered into an Analog Device Development Agreement with an effective date of December 6, 2012 (the “NN1002 Agreement”)with Texas Instruments (“TI”) pursuant to which TI agreed to integrate our intellectual property into an ASIC. Under the terms of the NN1002 Agreement, weagreed to pay TI $500,000 of non-recurring engineering costs at the rate of $0.25 per ASIC for each of the first 2 million ASICs sold. As of December 31, 2019,we had made no payments to TI under the NN1002 Agreement. F-27 10.Leases We have operating leases for our corporate offices and our manufacturing facility, and finance leases for equipment. Our leases have remaining leaseterms of one year to three years, and our two primary operating leases include options to extend the leases for one to three years; those operating leases also includeoptions to terminate the leases within one year. Future renewal options that are not likely to be executed as of the balance sheet date are excluded from right-of-useassets and related lease liabilities. Our operating leases represent building leases for our Stockholm corporate offices and our Kungsbacka manufacturing facility. Our corporate office leaseis automatically renewed at a cost increase of 2% on a yearly basis, unless we provide written notice nine months prior to expiration date. We report operating leased assets, as well as operating lease current and noncurrent obligations on our consolidated balance sheets for the right to usethose buildings in our business. Our finance leases represent manufacturing equipment; we report the manufacturing equipment, as well as finance lease currentand noncurrent obligations on our consolidated balance sheets for our manufacturing equipment. Generally, interest rates are stated in our leases for equipment. When no interest rate is stated in a lease, however, we review the interest rates implicit inour recent finance leases to estimate our incremental borrowing rate. We determine the rate implicit in a lease by using the most recent finance lease rate, or othermethod we think most closely represents our incremental borrowing rate. The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands): For the year ended December 31, 2019 Operating lease cost (1) $588 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets $623 Interest on lease liabilities 34 Total finance lease cost $657 (1)Includes short term lease costs of $122,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

This is mainly due to our history of operating losses. As of December 31, 2019, wehad federal, state and foreign net operating losses of $63.8 million, $20.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The federal loss carryforward begins to expire in2028, and the California loss carryforward begins to expire in 2030. The foreign loss carryforward, which is generated in Sweden, does not expire. 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, 2019, we had not completed the determination of the amount to be limited under the provision. We follow the provisions of accounting guidance which includes a two-step approach to recognizing, derecognizing and measuring uncertain taxpositions. There were no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 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, 2019 and 2018 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, 2019 and 2018,we had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax matters. F-31 As of December 31, 2019, 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. The 2008 through 2018 tax years areopen and may be subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions. We are not currently under any federal, state or foreign income tax examinations. 13.Employee Benefit Plans We participate in a number of individual defined contribution pension plans for our employees in Sweden. We contribute five percent (5%) of theemployee’s annual salary to these pension plans. For the Swedish management we contribute up to fifteen percent (15%) of the employee’s annual salary.Contributions relating to these defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $395,000 and $413,000, respectively. We matchU.S. employee contributions to a 401(K) retirement plan up to a maximum of six percent (6%) of an employee’s annual salary. Contributions relating to thematching 401(K) contributions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $6,000 and $6,000, respectively. In Taiwan, we contribute six percent (6%)of the employee’s annual salary to a pension fund which agrees with Taiwan’s Labor Pension Act. Contributions relating to the Taiwanese pension fund for theyears ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $3,000 and $4,000, respectively. 14.Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Neonode Inc. forthe relevant period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. 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 0 and 350,000 outstanding stock warrants, 0 and 11,000 shares issuable upon conversion ofpreferred stock and 0 and 0 stock options are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,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 our Chief Financial Officer, weevaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as ofDecember 31, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls andprocedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reportsthat we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, andthat such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate,to allow timely decisions regarding 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, 2019 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 our Chief Financial Officer, our management assessed theeffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making their assessment, our management used criteria established in theframework on Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Based upon that assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019. This report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financialreporting in accordance with applicable SEC rules that permit us to provide only management´s report in this report.

(“we”, “our” and “us”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of1934, as amended: common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“common stock”). The following description of our common stock summarizes certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation as amended, our bylaws, andcertain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The description is intended as a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restatedcertificate of incorporation as amended and our bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. General Under our restated certificate of incorporation as amended, we have the authority to issue 15 million shares of common stock. The rights, preferences, andprivileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock wemay issue in the future. Common Stock Voting Rights. Holders of our common stock possess exclusive voting rights in us, except to the extent that shares of preferred stock issued in the futuremay have voting rights. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of ourstockholders. Dividend Rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legallyavailable therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights that may attach to preferred stock that we may issue in the future. The current policy of the Board ofDirectors, however, is to retain earnings, if any. Liquidation Rights. In the event we are liquidated or dissolved, each holder of our common stock would be entitled to receive, after payment of all ourdebts and liabilities, a pro rata portion of all of our assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock. If we have issued any preferred stock, theholders thereof may have a priority in liquidation or dissolution over the holders of our common stock. Other Characteristics. Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights with respect to any additional shares of common stock that we mayissue in the future. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of our common stock. Cumulative voting in the election of directorsis not permitted. The transfer agent for shares of our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, and Delaware Law. Some provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation as amended, our bylaws, and Delaware General Corporation Law contain provisions thatcould make the following transactions more difficult: acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; orremoval of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions thatstockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market priceof our shares. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are alsodesigned to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection ofour potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouragingthese proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms. Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stockwith voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect ofdeferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company. Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect tostockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of our Board of Directors or acommittee of our Board of Directors. Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the right of stockholders to act by written consentwithout a meeting. Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which prohibits persons deemed “interestedstockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interestedstockholders. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determinationof interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale,or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect totransactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors.
