ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT



ACQUISITION OF MOBOT, INC.

      On February 9, 2006, NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. ("NeoMedia) and Mobot,
Inc. (www.mobot.com) ("Mobot") signed a definitive merger agreement (the
"Agreement") under which NeoMedia acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Mobot in exchange for $3,500,000 cash and $6,500,000 in shares of NeoMedia
common stock. The $6,500,000 cash portion of the purchase price is represented
by 16,931,493 shares of NeoMedia common stock, calculated by dividing $6,500,000
by the volume-weighted average closing price of NeoMedia common stock for the
ten day up to and including February 8, 2006.

      Closing is scheduled to occur on February 16, 2006, or at another date as
agreed by NeoMedia and Mobot. Cash and shares certificates will be exchanged,
and the merger will become effective, at the closing.

      Mobot is a pioneer in visual search and recognition technology designed to
make marketing effective and innovative using mobile devices. Launched in 2004
to help companies cultivate rewarding relationships with the world's 1.5 billion
mobile phone users, Mobot gives marketers, content providers and carriers the
tools to make it easy for any consumer with a camera phone to interact with

      The Agreement is attached hereto as exhibit 16.1. On February 9, 2006,
NeoMedia issued a press release with respect to the Agreement, attached hereto
as Exhibit 16.2.
