`10 A. Well, formally I'm employed by Neonode
`11 Technologies AB, which is the daughter company of
`12 Neonode, Inc. The reason for that is that I'm located
`13 in Sweden.
`14 Q. Okay. So is -- are the statements in
`15 Paragraph 3 of your declaration correct?
`16 A. Yes, I'm a representative of Neonode, Inc.,
`17 but I'm formally employed in Sweden by the daughter
`18 company which is hundred percent owned by Neonode.
`19 Q. Okay. So we'll take that piece by piece.
`20 But currently, you're employed by Neonode, Inc. as
`21 executive vice president of operations, correct?
`22 A. Yes, I am, but employed in Sweden by the
`23 daughter company.
`24 Q. Are you employed by both companies?

`1 citizens, I cannot be employed by an American company.
`2 Q. So may -- this may feel pedantic, but are you
`3 employed -- are you currently employed by Neonode,
`4 Inc. or the -- a different Swedish entity?
`5 A. I'm employed by the Swedish entity. The --
`6 at the -- the -- the company office of Neonode, Inc.
`7 which is also the Swedish address that we are.
`8 Q. So you are -- you are technically not an
`9 employee of Neonode, Inc.?
`10 A. No, not formal employee because as I said,
`11 I'm a Sweden citizen. I cannot be employed in -- in a
`12 US company. I need to be employed in the Swedish.
`13 And all management is employed in the Swedish company,
`14 in -- in Neonode.
`15 Q. Okay. So if we look at Paragraph 3, it says
`16 that you were a director of manufacturing from
`17 September 2006 through December 2008. Do you see
`18 that?
`19 A. Yeah. And that was in the former company.
`20 Q. And which company was that?
`21 A. Because at that time, the company was Neonode
`22 AB. And that company was bankrupt in 2008.
`23 Q. So you served as the director of

`5 Q. And currently you serve -- well, from
`6 September 2012 to the present, you served as the
`7 executive vice president of operations for Neonode
`8 Technologies AB?
`9 A. And also Neonode, Inc. in this case because
`10 Inc. is -- is what you can call a shell company and
`11 the -- the basic all -- all employees are in Neonode
`12 AB in this case.
`13 Q. Okay.
`14 A. Neonode Technologies AB, sorry.
`15 Q. Okay. And what do -- what do you mean when
`16 you said that Neonode, Inc. is a shell company?
`17 A. No, it's -- that is the -- the American
`18 company that is listed on NASDAQ. But all management
`19 is -- is employed -- employed in Sweden. So that --
`20 from that point of view, all executive -- or the
`21 executive office is also here in Sweden at Karlavägen.
`22 Q. And you also stated that your job functions
`23 include being the company's custodian of record; is
`24 that right?

`1 that -- that -- because there have also been the IT
`2 manager and set up the structure for IT, which means
`3 that I also have control over all our documentation in
`4 the company.
`5 Q. How long have -- has your responsibilities
`6 included the role of custodian of records?
`7 A. Well, it has been from -- from -- I joined --
`8 when I joined in 2012 because then I also set up the
`9 IT structure and set up also the -- the -- the -- the
`10 structure for documentation and everything.
`11 Q. Okay. And when you say you -- you -- you
`12 serve as the company's custodian of record, when you
`13 use the word company, you're referring to Neonode
`14 Technologies AB?
`15 A. In this case, it's Neonode, Inc. because we
`16 have all documentations stored on servers here in
`17 Sweden.
`18 Q. But you're not actually an employee of
`19 Neonode, Inc.?
`20 A. No.
`21 Q. Okay. And then in Paragraph 4, you have a
`22 list of exhibits you attached to your declaration,
`23 correct?

`
`1 these -- these exhibits, these documents are accurate
`2 and reliable?
`3 A. Yes, that's my understanding.
`4 Q. And when they were created by Neonode,
`5 they -- they sought to capture complete and correct
`6 information?
`7 A. So far as I know because most of these
`8 documents are created in the old company that went
`9 into bankrupt -- bankruptcy in 2008. So what I've
`10 been doing is really to search for documentation that
`11 we can find from that.
`12 Q. So moving on to -- to Paragraph 5. These are
`13 the same exhibits, A through F, that you mentioned in
`14 Paragraph 4?
`15 A. Yes.
`16 Q. Did you create any of these exhibits
`17 yourself?
`18 A. No.
`19 Q. Okay. Were you employed by Neonode when any
`20 of these exhibits were created?
`21 A. I think most of -- yes, I think the -- th3
`22 spreadsheet because that covers the years 2007, 2008.
`23 Then I was the employee, but I was -- the -- the
`24 documents before September 2006, then I was not the
`25 employee of Neonode.

`
`1 Q. So just so we're clear. Exhibit F was likely
`2 created while you were an employee at Neonode?
`3 A. Yes, that's correct.
`4 Q. And Exhibits A, B, C, D and E were likely
`5 created before you were an employee of Neonode?
`6 A. Yes, that's correct.
`7 Q. And you didn't -- sorry. Asking this again,
`8 but you didn't help create any of these documents?
`9 A. No.
`10 Q. Do you know who created any of Exhibits A, B,
`11 C, D or E?
`12 A. I don't know for sure who does -- who did it,
`13 but it was created by the management at that time, and
`14 basic I would say, it was created by -- by the
`15 founders, Mr. Goertz and Mr. Ericsson. Thomas
`16 Ericsson and Magnus Goertz.
`17 Q. And --
`18 A. They -- at least they -- no, of course not
`19 because I was not present in the company at that time.
`20 Q. Okay. And then for Exhibit F, do you know
`21 who created that Excel spreadsheet?
`22 A. That is -- that I found in the -- in the
`23 filings cabinet that we had and that that -- it's
`24 probably created by our CFO at that time.
`25 Q. But again, you --

`
`1 A. But I don't know for sure -- I don't know for
`2 sure either.
`3 Q. Thank you.
`4 And again, going back to the companies.
`5 In -- in Paragraph 5, you say that these records were
`6 produced by Neonode officers and employees. Which
`7 Neonode entity are we talking about?
`8 A. Well, it's -- as I said before, the -- the
`9 company was -- Neonode Inc. was formally founded in, I
`10 think, 2006, 2007, something like that. And that
`11 was -- was really because their work was a demand from
`12 the investors at that time to -- to -- to have an
`13 American company listed on NASDAQ. It was what you
`14 call a backward -- backdoor registration on NASDAQ by
`15 a company called S -- American Company called SBE.
`16 And up to that from -- up to that, the
`17 company was Neonode AB and a number of other companies
`18 during that time. And then Neonode AB was -- was a
`19 daughter company then to Neonode, Inc. And that means
`20 that the management and all of those -- before
`21 Neonode, Inc. was founded, then of course it was
`22 Neonode AB and -- and the management of Neonode AB.
`23 And then after that, it was the management of Neonode,
`24 Inc. basically working from -- from the platform of --
`25 of Sweden in Neonode AB.

`

`
`1 Q. And so Exhibits A, B, C, D and E were created
`2 before Neonode, Inc. existed; is that right?
`3 A. Yes, if I remember correctly because they
`4 were -- they were created up to 2006. And that was
`5 before Neonode Inc. was -- was -- was created.
`6 Q. And again, just making sure I understand the
`7 companies. When it says that they were intended to be
`8 relied upon by Neonode and third parties, which
`9 Neonode entity are we talking about that would have
`10 used these documents?
`11 A. Up to 2006 before -- before Neonode was then
`12 incorporated in Neonode, Inc., it would have been
`13 Neonode AB which was the Swedish company.
`14 Q. And in Paragraph 6, you -- you -- you mention
`15 that you've actually reviewed Exhibit F yourself,
`16 correct?
`17 A. Yes.
`18 (Exhibit 3 marked)

`2 Q. So that --
`3 A. And before we start, I would also say that I
`4 have relooked into this document again because this is
`5 the document that is covering the sales on Neonode
`6 between 2007 and 2008. And when you look more into
`7 detail in this, you can see that it's not only phones.
`8 So when you look at the -- the -- the --
`9 the -- the sum at the end that says that it's
`10 something like 2000 -- 26,000 or something like that
`11 of units that from this document of N2 phones. Let's
`12 see what it says. It says 26-991. That is the
`13 complete sell -- sale of the -- and when I looked more
`14 into this, it's the complete sale of -- of all
`15 components, not just the phones. So I want to make a
`16 correction in this, and the phone sold -- phones sold
`17 in this is 9,640.
`18 Q. And so parsing through that. In Paragraph 6
`19 of your declaration, you said the Excel spreadsheet
`20 document sales of 26,991 units of the Neonode N2
`21 phone, right?
`22 A. Yeah.
`23 Q. And you're correcting that number to now be
`24 9,640 units?
`25 A. That's correct.

`
`1 Q. Okay. Going back to -- to Exhibit F that
`2 we -- we introduced. The first column, I believe it's
`3 cut off. But does the first column of this table
`4 reference the customer country?
`5 A. Probably. I mean, I have not created this,
`6 but my -- yes, that should be the -- the -- the -- the
`7 country that the units have been sold in. So that's
`8 the first column. And so that my -- that is my
`9 interpretation of this also.
`10 Q. And these records seem to be divided or
`11 sorted by country, right?
`12 A. Yes. And my -- my -- my guess is that -- and
`13 I -- that I don't know either, but my guess is,
`14 this -- this is extracted out -- out of the financial
`15 system that was used at that time in Neonode AB.
`16 Q. And the next column, the second column is
`17 customer name. What is that?
`18 A. In this case, it's either the -- and the --
`19 the -- those are names of the persons that have bought
`20 phones or -- or parts in this case which is also part
`21 of this.
`22 Q. And what does the column Customer Company
`23 Name refer to?
`24 A. My interpretation of that is that that is
`25 the -- the -- the company that the people have been

`
`1 working in.
`2 Q. And then skipping over several columns, what
`3 does the column Ship Date refer to?
`4 A. Well, my interpretation of that is that that
`5 is the date when the units were shipped to the
`6 customer.
`7 Q. Okay. And the next column, Order Status, I
`8 believe, what does that refer to?
`9 A. Yeah, that is -- order status is -- is
`10 referring to, I guess, that it's paid or not --
`11 Q. Okay.
`12 A. -- in this case.
`13 Q. And what is the column SKU Description show?
`14 A. SKU is in this case the -- the -- a
`15 description of what is sold. What -- what component
`16 is sold.
`17 Q. And so we see the very first row says, N2
`18 Black EU.
`19 Do you see that?
`20 A. Yeah.
`21 Q. What does that -- what does that --
`22 A. That N2 is the phone. The --
`23 Q. Okay.
`24 A. -- I mean, because this is only for sales for
`25 the N -- Neonode N2s. And then it's black, and

`
`1 it's -- the -- it's for EU in this case.
`2 Q. Okay. And so if we go about six lines,
`3 there's a -- there's a record that shows charger EU?
`4 A. Yeah.
`5 Q. Is that one of those records you mentioned
`6 earlier that is not for an N2 phone?
`7 A. Yes.
`8 Q. Okay.
`9 A. Those -- those have been taken out because
`10 those are spare parts and other things, and I missed
`11 that when -- when I sent in this document.
`12 Q. And then the next column is line quanti -- or
`13 line QTY. What does that refer to?
`14 A. That is probably how many units were -- were
`15 shipped on -- on that -- on that order line.
`16 Q. And then the last column, Line Gross. What
`17 does that refer to?
`18 A. Good question. Don't know really. But it
`19 seems like it is -- it is money.
`20 Q. But you don't know?
`21 A. No, because I've not created the document
`22 that was -- so this is just a document that I found
`23 when I tried to see what documentation do we have on
`24 sales that we can find on -- on Neonode servers.
`25 Q. Right.

`
`1 Going back to your -- your declaration
`2 real quick. In Paragraph 6, you state that Neonode
`3 sold 8,000 units to a network operator in India. Do
`4 you see that?
`5 A. Yep, that's correct.
`6 Q. Right. Are those 8,000 units captured in
`7 Exhibit F?
`8 A. No, it's not.
`9 Q. Okay. And then you also say that Neonode
`10 sold approximately 5,000 units of the N1 phone, right?
`11 A. Yeah --
`12 Q. And are --
`13 A. -- but that is -- that is an estimate because
`14 we're looking at -- I've tried to find all sales
`15 documentation from the N1 side. And we're looking
`16 into what has been described in different documents
`17 and so on. So this is -- it's a rough estimate of how
`18 many were sold of -- of all the preorders that -- that
`19 they have at that time.
`20 Q. And are those -- that estimate, is it
`21 documented in Exhibit F?
`22 A. No, it's not.
`23 Q. Okay. And so while we're at it. This last
`24 sentence, Neonode's records presently available
`25 document approximately sales of approximately 40,000

`
`1 N1 and N2 phones.
`2 That statement is no longer correct,
`3 right?
`4 A. That's correct because if you sum those, it
`5 will be less, of course.
`6 Q. Okay.
`7 A. Because the first -- the first -- the
`8 first is -- it was wrong.
`9 Q. I'd like to go back to Exhibit F real quick.
`10 Particularly if we can look at the -- the second major
`11 table for the -- the country of Belgium. Let me know
`12 once you kind of have that in front of you.
`13 A. Yeah, I have it in front of me. Yeah.
`14 Q. And in the second line of -- of that table
`15 for Belgium, we see an SKU description for N2 black
`16 EU, right?
`17 A. Yeah.
`18 Q. And that's for a Neonode N2 phone?
`19 A. Yes.
`20 Q. And then in the line Gross Column, there's a
`21 zero.
`22 A. Yeah.
`23 Q. What does that -- what does that zero refer
`24 to for that order?
`25 A. Don't know.

`
`1 Q. And so did that -- did that fact that the
`2 line Gross Column is zero have any impact on whether
`3 you included that record in your final total of units
`4 sold?
`5 A. No. Because in this case, I've looked into
`6 units shipped which is -- and then what -- what
`7 agreements has been between the customers and the
`8 Neonode. That I have no clue of.
`9 Q. So just to zero to be clear. Should your
`10 number -- when you're talking about the number of
`11 sales in Paragraph 6 shown in Exhibit F, should that
`12 be corrected to -- to describe the number of units
`13 shipped?
`14 A. That might be the case because I have no idea
`15 of units. I only know what -- this document shows
`16 what units have been shipped to different customers.
`17 And -- yeah, and that -- that is what -- what I know
`18 in this case.
`19 Q. And you have no idea whether any of these
`20 units were actually paid for?
`21 A. No, not really because I was not involved
`22 in -- in -- in that process.
`23 Q. But for your -- the purposes of your
`24 declaration, you've included the records for N2 phones
`25 that have a zero in the line --

`11 disclose the content of any communications either
`12 verbal or in, you know, written form with counsel.

`14 are -- are you going to -- to abide by your attorney's
`15 instructions?
`16 A. As always, I will do that.
`17 MR. LONEY: For the record, Counsel.
`18 Given Mr. Martensson's testimony, we would request
`19 that those updated numbers that he provided be
`20 produced, as well as his -- his rationale for how
`21 he -- he filtered and calculated them.

`2 MR. LONEY: We understand. Obviously,
`3 we disagree, and we -- we can talk about it more
`4 off-line, I think.
`5 MR. GRAVES: All right.
`6 Q. (BY MR. LONEY) Mr. Martensson, were you
`7 involved in the sales department at all during --
`8 from -- from your time at Neonode from 2006 to 2008?
`9 A. My responsibility at that time was to -- to
`10 set up the production of the N2 phones. And also, of
`11 course, my -- my role as responsible for supply was
`12 to -- to see that we -- we shipped to the cus -- to
`13 the customers and produced at the factory in Malaysia.
`14 But I was not involved in -- in the sales department.
`15 Q. I think you just mentioned that your factory
`16 was in Malaysia; is that right?
`17 A. That's correct.
`18 Q. Can we go to Page 12 through 13 of Exhibit F?
`19 Let me know when you're there.
`20 A. Page 12. Hang on. Let's go back to it.
`21 Yes.
`22 Q. And I believe most of the records in the
`23 Malaysia table have been removed from your final
`24 calculations based on your earlier statements, right?
`25 A. Yes, because those are spare parts.
