RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks which may materially harm our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Before purchasing our shares of
common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below in
addition to the other information in this prospectus. If any of these risks or
uncertainties actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, and
results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case,
the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or
part of your investment.
RISKS SPECIFIC TO NEOMEDIA
WE HAVE CURRENTLY PENDING LEGAL ACTIONS INVOLVING OUR CRITICAL INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY
On September 6, 2001, AirClic, Inc. ("AirClic") filed suit against us
in the Court of Common Pleas, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, seeking, among
other things, the accelerated repayment of a $500,000 loan it advanced to us
pursuant to the terms of a Secured Promissory Note made on July 11, 2003 and a
non-binding Letter of Intent dated July 3, 2001 between AirClic and us. The note
was secured by substantially all of our intellectual property, including the
core physical world-to-Internet technologies. In the suit, we acknowledged our
obligations under the note but filed a counterclaim against AirClic seeking
damages for fraud, negligent misrepresentation and promissory estoppel.
On October 3, 2003, we paid AirClic the principal plus interest in the
approximate amount of $610,000, and transferred an additional amount of money to
our Pennsylvania attorney to pay any costs including attorney fees that we may
be required to pay AirClic for its enforcement of the note. On November 3, 2003,
we reached a settlement agreement with AirClic which will end the suit. The
parties are currently drafting the release document and expect the suit to be
dismissed by the end of the month.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY LOST MONEY AND LOSSES MAY CONTINUE
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception, and anticipate
incurring substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred a loss of
$1,855,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2003, $7,421,000 in the year ended
December 31, 2002, $25,469,000 in the year ended December 31, 2001, and
$5,409,000 in the year ended December 31, 2000. Our accumulated losses were
approximately $72,620,000 as of June 30, 2003, $70,765,000 as of December 31,
2002, and $63,344,000 as of December 31, 2001. We had a working capital deficit
of approximately $8,872,000 as June 30, 2003, $8,985,000 as of December 31,
2002, and $5,163,000 as of December 31, 2001. We had shareholders' deficit of
$6,006,000, $6,026,000, and $263,000 at June 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, respectively. We generated revenues of $1,548,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2003, $9,399,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002,
$8,142,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, and $27,565,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2000. In addition, cash flows used in operating activities
totaled $939,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, $598,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2002, $5,202,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001,
and $6,775,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. To succeed, we must develop
new client and customer relationships and substantially increase our revenue
derived from improved products and additional value-added services. To the
extent we have available financing, we intend to expend substantial resources to
develop and improve our products, increase our valued-added services and to
market our products and services. These development and marketing expenses must
be incurred well in advance of the recognition of revenue. As a result, we may
not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FINANCE OPERATIONS
On October 27, 2003, we entered into a $20 million Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners L.P. Under the terms of the
agreement, Cornell Capital Partners has agreed to purchase up to $20 million of
our common stock over the next two years at our discretion. The maximum amount
of purchases in any 7-day period is $280,000, not to exceed $840,000 in any
30-day period. For each share of common stock purchased under the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners will pay 98% of the lowest
closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board during the five-day
period following the delivery of a notice by NeoMedia. We will pay 5% of the
gross proceeds of each purchase to Cornell Capital Partners as a commission, and
$500 of escrow fees for each advance.
