§ IV·SE-Cluster Issuer Brief

Filing language.

Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.

Our comprehensive loss includes foreign currency translation gains and losses as a result of consolidation. The cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.

10-KFY2012

We hired seven PyX engineers and will continue to hire additional engineering resources, particularly software engineers and engineering support personnel to continue to develop the iSCSI storage software and VoIP products.

10-KFY2005

The acquisition enabled us to obtain iSCSI software which we consider to be complementary to our business.

10-KFY2005

All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our accounting policies affecting our financial condition and results of operations are more fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates, which inherently contain some degree of uncertainty. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The historical experience and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the reported carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses that may not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following are some of the more critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

10-KFY2010

Our 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), wholly owned subsidiary of Neonode Technologies AB, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interests are reported below net loss including noncontrolling interests under the heading “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of operations, below comprehensive loss under the heading “Comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and shown as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. See “Noncontrolling Interests” below for further discussion. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
