EXPLANATORY NOTE

Neonode Inc. is filing this Form 8-K/A solely to file Item 4.01 to disclose changes in Neonode’s certifying accountant and attach Exhibit 16.1. No other information contained in the Form 8-K is amended by this Form 8-K/A. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K is as of the original filing date of the Form 8-K dated August 10, 2007, and filed on August 13, 2007, and does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than as described above.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Previous Independent Accountant

On August 10, 2007, upon the closing of the merger, the shareholders of Cold Winter became the majority stockholders of Neonode. The merger will be treated as a “reverse acquisition” for accounting purposes and as such, the historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer, Cold Winter, become the historical financial statements of Neonode. Because Cold Winters’s independent registered public accounting firm, Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers AB, or PwC, was different from Neonode’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO Seidman, LLP, or BDO, there has been a change in Neonode’s independent registered public accounting firm as a result of the merger. However, BDO will complete its review of the Neonode’s interim financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2007 and for the nine-month period then ended and will complete its engagement with Neonode upon the filing of Neonode’s Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although PwC effectively became Neonode’s independent registered public accounting firm as of the effective time of the merger, notwithstanding BDO’s continued engagement until the filing of Neonode’s filing of it quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, the audit committee of the board of directors of Neonode is in the process of determining whether it is in the best interest of Neonode and its stockholders to continue engage PwC going forward. If the audit committee or the board of directors of Neonode determines not to continue to engage PwC, Neonode will file a current report on Form 8-K announcing the termination of the engagement and the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm.

BDO’s report on the financial statements of Neonode for each of the past two fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2006, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and 2006, and the interim period from the date of the last audited financial statements to April 30, 2007, (i) there were no disagreements between Neonode and BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The decision to replace BDO was not the result of any disagreement between Neonode and BDO on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or audit procedure.

We furnished BDO with a copy of this report prior to filing this report with the SEC. We also requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made in this report. A copy of BDO’s letter to the SEC is filed with this report as Exhibit 16.1.
