Thanks Canuck44
Any merger would need full disclosure whether Scanbuy merged into NEOM or NEOM merged into Scanbuy.
Where's Clawmann when we need him?
I would love for this to be a backdoor way for Scanbuy to go public.
Howard
I like the change. It certainly adds credibility to NEOM and Laura, by natural inclination, seems to be more forthcoming with information then any CEO we've had for many years.
Lets see how the market reacts.
GLTA,
Howard
Yes, you're losing your MING!
(Is that something that Flash Gordon loses?)
Howard
Jeff, you and I both feel the same pain but I'm treating NEOM like my girlfriend from the summer of 1958. Everything was so good that I remember worrying that the bad days would return with those "other girls."
The bad days never returned---I'm married to the "summer of '58 girl" for 49 years June 19th.
Always enjoy hearing from you,
Howard
Jeff, I think we're on the right side at the right time!
Jeff, a little objectivity, please.,,you're sounding like a spurned lover. The last 6 stocks I purchased because of insider buying are now torched. For insiders, buying can be "everything to lose and nothing to gain." especially when they already have been given scads of shares.
How excited am I?
Mildly to medium. We're HERE and good things seem to be happening. Volume is rising but has a long way to go. The pps is slowly moving up. The industry is forging ahead and I expect that we'll see some interesting campaigns for the holiday season.
It was predicted that we would immediately drop to sub-pennies after the split---we haven't, in fact, we've built a base right where we are.
One day our stock will get noticed and "baby, bar the door!"
Jeff, good luck to you and all,
Howard
You just spelled out exactly wht I believe is happening. Only fools would badger the regulatory agencies and YA is definitely not a fool.
GLTA,
Howard
Vero, you're 100% right and you'll be 100% right at $.50 and $1.00
and even $5.00!
My point is, this is definitely not a stock for calculations NOW.
One day, when YA gets taken care of and the earnings begin to materialize THEN price-earning ratios, etc. WILL work but what will NEOM be selling for THEN?!
Regards,
Howard
You CAN dilute by more than 100% but I think you're trying to say "increase the outstanding by a factor of 13.63 but I don't understand why."
Anyway, good luck with your equations,
h
This is not meant to stop you in any way from connecting dots.
Diluting 22 million shares by 92% gives you 42,240,000 not 300 million.
h
SL, I agree. Europe will lead the way...as they have on most new technology. It's my opinion that any interview will be couched in very conservative terms because of YA's SEC situation. Considering that, I felt that IM's interview had some real bright spots for shareholders.
IMO the in-direct method will be used by a lot of businesses--more than enough to make NEOM profitable.
With all of the averaging down I look for most of the old time NEOM stockholders to be making money at $3 to $5 a share. This stock is wound so tightly that substantle news (YA out, reaching profitability, etc.) could pop the stock to that range over a 3 month period.
...am I dreamin'? We'll see...
Regards,
Howard
No sellers at $.22 and no buyers at $1.01.
h
I get it, nothing short of an accountant's report showing profits is important to you.
h
Not even that we’re running campaigns all the time now?
H
Not even that people like Nokia in Europe use our technology on a routine basis to place barcodes?
h
Not even the fact that Neustar inked 10 partners?
h
JP, I'm anxious to hear your comments on the GO-MO interview--see my last post.
h
IMPORTANT TO READ! IMPORTANT TO READ!
success622 posted it--I added some color to sections that I consider extra important. Thank you, Jen.

NeoMedia CEO Iain McCready talks barcodes, IP and shareholders
http://www.gomonews.com/neomedia-ceo-iain-mccready-talks-barcodes-ip-and-shareholders/
Published on Wednesday, August 11th by Cian
NeoMedia is one of the major patent holders in the field of mobile barcodes, and it has been no stranger to controversy over the years. In response to requests from GoMo News readers, NeoMedia CEO Iain McCready answered some questions about licensing and shareholder concerns.
First of all, congratulations on the Buongiorno announcement earlier this week (see report)
The fit between the companies is very good. Buongiorno has very good reach – it’s a positive sign that a company of that size has signed a deal like this. It shows that the demand is their from their customers to make mobile barcodes part of their ongoing campaigns.
Many of our readers have been wondering what NeoMedia is doing to enforce its IP?
We take our patent portfolio very seriously. We’ve spent millions developing it, and spend further millions maintaining it around the world. Our American licensing partner, Neustar, is currently signing its tenth partner or so, so there has been a large amount of activity on the IP side as well as the platform side.
Patent infringement is a very treacherous area. If you point your finger at a large company and say “you’ve infringed our patent” you had better have a lot of years and money ready to get through that process. A lot of the big players have their own technology, so we are talking to a range of them about IP licenses – obviously those are all under non-disclosure agreements. People who don’t know a lot about IP or IP infringements can look at something that looks like a system that NeoMedia uses, and think there’s an infringement there. It’s an extremely complex process, and it has to be approached very carefully.
Are there many technological solutions that can be used to work around NeoMedia IP?
No, there aren’t. We’re unusual in that we hold 60 different patents. Most companies only have 1 or 2. We deliberately built a portfolio to protect from all sorts of different angles. A lot of people talk about the 048 patent that was re-examined 18 months ago… but that was just 1 of 60. Even if that had been overturned, we’d have got them with another patent. We continue to update our portfolio – this year alone we’ve made a number of new applications.
NeoMedia’s attitude towards licensing and IP has been very good for the mobile barcode industry at large. But there’s a lot of anger from NeoMedia shareholders who feel shortchanged. What would you say to them?
I completely understand their frustration. Some of these investors got involved 5 to 7 years ago, long before many of the mobile barcode players even did. This technology has taken a long time to even approach going mainstream. It hasn’t quite reached it yet, but it’s getting there, as you can see from the activity in the space.
I think the only way we can bring value to the shareholders is by doing big business and big deals, and earning good revenue. Two years ago, we didn’t have any partners or deals – we were stuck doing one-off trials. We’re still a small organisation with a small direct sales team; what we’re trying to do is sign big players like Neustar and Sony Ericsson who can bring real scale to the industry.
Do you have other big deals in the works?
There are a lot of deals being worked on internationally. The companies we sign with have a lot of connections. People like Nokia in Europe use our technology on a routine basis to place barcodes. We provide the technology that allows other companies to use barcodes, from placement and management through to content delivery. But NeoMedia is not a creative agency. We don’t do that – we’re a technology provider. So we’re not on the front line – you won’t hear see our name in most press releases. But these companies are using our IP and our platform to create on-going campaigns. We’re running campaigns all the time now.
A lot of shareholders are still upset and angry about the Yorkville Advisors move over Christmas (see report). When will they see a return on their investment?
That’s a very difficult question to answer. The truth is that if Yorkville hadn’t supported NeoMedia, I believe it would have gone out of business and those investments would be worth zero now. I know that doesn’t satisfy the long-term shareholders, and I’m sorry it doesn’t. But Yorkville has supported this company tremendously over the years, and invested at a time when other people weren’t willing to invest.
As for time scale, you have to remember that it takes a long time to do a big deal with a company the size of Buongiorno. We were talking to them for months and months and months. They had to do their diligence, and get the legal things in place to move it through their organisations. As a public company, we are simply not allowed to discuss deals until they have been finalised. So things that we are working very hard on now often won’t come to light for a very long time. Whereas a private company can release PR whenever it wants, often with very little behind it.
I know that won’t satisfy some of our more passionate shareholders – they want more facts. Unfortunately, as a public company, we simply can’t do that.
I agree. Two negative stickey notes doesn't make sense.
Phoenix69 is 100% correct. I don't see it as our job to warn possible investors "AWAY" or "TO" Neom. Anyone is invited to dig through the posts and decide for themselves.
Where did they come from? We didn't have them for years and then suddenly they appeared.
Proper use? Conference calls, meetings of any kind, deadlines, etc. Nothing that is biased FOR or AGAINST.
Regards to all, better times are coming...
Howard
Thanks, Krays.
Very nice of you to keep us informed.
Howard
"5 billion shares still allowed scares away investors."
I don't agree--nobody cares about the authorized.
h
Krays, I appreciate that you're keeping up with the patent situation for us.
Are you back in yet?
Howard
I've been lurking for the past several months. I have been reading every post and I'm starting to get a warm feeling in the area where my wallet resides.
I have a strong feeling that positive things are happening. I congratulate Klawmann for his initiative for pushing things in the right direction.
Additionally, I like the action in the stock. I think there is some accumulation happening and I see a base being formed.
NEOM's common stock is so "thin" right now that any solid news will really give the price a boost.
All in my opinion.
Regards to the rational and very patient oldtimers
here at I-HUB,
Howard
PS: Remember, we've seen .001---this is 100% better!
"but now we bozo's posting here."
I don't think of you as a bozo.
Regards,
Howard
Geeze, Winthorpe, thanks for registering 3 days ago just to bring us that information. You sound like a real "in-the-know" guy sharing your expertise with us.
Tell us what Scottrade or etrade has to say when you call them to short the stock.
Thanks again,
Howard
YOU WISH IT WAS .36
You forgot some zeros.
h
I would say it has something to do with TIMES A HUNDRED.
h
Did neom have any other avenues for financing besides YA?
This management (NEW) or the one from 6 years ago (OLD)? Old management--YES,
New management-NO
If neom did have other options, why didn't they go that route?
Old--DUMB. New--no options.
Was neom mgmt that blind when jumping into bed with these guys?
Old--YES. New--no options.
Was this the only option for neom to survive?
NEW--yes.
Was the move to YA strictly job survival and a paycheck for neom
mgmt without any regard to shareholders?
OLD-dumb is dumb. NEW--no options.
ALL IMO.
Howard
YJ, a public company must register all shares before selling them into the market.
h
NEOMD is trading .20 bid .24 asked 47,783 shares. Scottrade Last trade a few minutes ago.
Howard
YOUR COST BASIS IS WHAT YOU PAID AT THE VERY BEGINNING NOT WHAT IT WAS THE DAY OF THE R/S. ACCORDING TO YOUR ACCOUNTANT, YOU ORIGINALLY PAID AROUND $3000 FOR THE 750,000 shares or .004 per share.
DID YOU?
Howard
I do.
h
Why do I not have that unbridled happiness that usually accompanies a 286% move to the upside?
Howard
I'm a strong buyer---as soon as there are shares to buy.
Howard
Thank you, Cloud. I believe our patience is about to be rewarded.
Regards,
Howard
I've bet on NEOM going up and your analogy makes me more certain tha ever that I'm right. Besides, I'm not sophisticated enough to short a stock that could quadruple overnight.
Regards,
Howard
I just made my last NEOM purchase, 52,100 shares to even up one of my accounts for the r/s.
I can't wait for the split to become live...I'm still optimistic that this will work out.
Regards and good luck to all,
Howard
