NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to
customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking, healthcare, and
financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides
system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees
from customers.
The
consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.
These
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the
information contained therein. It is suggested that these
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2008. The
Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim
reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not
indicative of annual results.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies North America,
Inc. (“NTNA”), NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”), NetSol-Abraxas
Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”), NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”), and
its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies, Ltd.(“NetSol PK”), NetSol
Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (“Connect”), TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited (“NetSol-TIG”), and
NetSol Omni (Private) Limited (“Omni”). All material inter-company
accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
For
comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current
year.
NOTE
2 - USE OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE
3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It
clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership
interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the
consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s
fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This
Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the
acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase
method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be
identified for each business combination. This Statement also
establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b)
recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a
gain from a bargain purchase; and, c) determines what information to disclose to
enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the
Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS
No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will
be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30,
2009.

In March,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB Statement
No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values
of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It
also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring
disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it
requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users
to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect
the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC
approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the
statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact
its financial statements.
On
December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation
No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for
certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public
not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of
public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral.
Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and
disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial
statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for
the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
On
January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment
Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in
EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on
Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held
by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent
determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The
FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary
impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied
prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim
or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
NOTE
4 – EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
“Earnings
per share” is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial
accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per
share”. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on
the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were
converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury
stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to
be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if
later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at
the average market price during the period.

NOTE
8 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible
assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights,
trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill. The Company
evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for
impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its
estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets,
other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book
value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets,
considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets,
economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net
book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset
is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill has been evaluated
in accordance with SFAS No. 142.
Page

As part
of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software
development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs
incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an
enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as
research and development expense until technological feasibility for the
respective product is established. Thereafter, all software
development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost
or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or
enhancement is available for general release to customers.
The
Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized
software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the
estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations
indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net
realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized
software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized
and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably
based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a
straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level
of amortization.

price to be determined based on the performance of the new entity over the next
four years. No assets or liabilities will be picked up by the Company

In
September 2008, 1,800,000 stock options were granted to certain employees on the
basis of achieving certain performance conditions related to the Company’s
revenues and earnings. A non-cash stock compensation charge of
$117,300 was recorded for the three month period ended September 30,
2008. Subsequently to the issuance of its annual report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year 2008, the Company restated its financial statements
(see Note 17). As a result, performance targets achieved prior to the
restatement became null and void and the stock options were forfeited by the
employees. The non-cash stock compensation expense previously
recorded in the amount of $117,300 was therefore reversed in the three month
period ended December 31, 2008, in accordance with SFAS 123R paragraph
A50.

NOTE 15 - SEGMENT
INFORMATION
The

services; North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our reportable
segments are business units located in different global regions. Each
business unit provides similar products and services; license fees for leasing
and asset-based software, related maintenance fees, and implementation and IT
consulting services. Separate management of each segment is required
because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and
strategies due to their particular regional location. We account for
intercompany sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third
parties and eliminate them in the consolidation. The following table
presents a summary of operating information and certain balance sheet

NOTE
17 - RESTATEMENT
On
November 5, 2008, the management of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”)
concluded after reviewing the pertinent facts, that the previously issued
financial statements contained in the Company's annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 2008 should be restated due primarily to computational
errors in connection with the allocation of appropriate amounts to minority
interest in the statement of operations and calculation of minority interest
ownership.
Our
management determined that the financial statements included therein overstated
amount of our reported net income for the year ended June 30, 2008 by
approximately $2,229,824.
The
Company filed its restated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2008. As a result of
the restatement, the Company determined that the previously issued interim
financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 should
be restated. The net income for the three and six month periods ended December
31, 2007 was overstated by $49,002 and $109,018, respectively.

PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Management
has set the following new goals for NetSol for the next 12 months:
●
|
Consolidate
and rationalize costs at every level and location. The global economy has
dramatically shifted causing deep recession. To counter these challenges
NetSol has aggressively initiated a company wide effort to reduce cost by
up to 20% in fiscal 2009. The senior most executives have
voluntarily offered to cut back salaries by up to 15% commencing in the
third quarter of 2009. Additionally, the cash bonuses, of nearly $400,000,
and options earned by the CEO and two divisional presidents were
voluntarily forfeited to avoid the expenses to the Company and, as a
gesture of solidarity with the Company’s employees. These critical steps
to reduce salaries and other compensation have significantly reduced
costs. Each subsidiary has embarked on intensified cost controls and
enhanced efficiencies. This includes personnel downsizing by as much as
10-15%, reducing and/or freezing salaries and reducing general and
administrative expenses.
|
Page
26
●
|
Aggressively
expanding into new verticals such as SAP services through the acquisition
of Ciena Solutions and efforts to expand into the healthcare sector in the
US. We anticipate impressive growth in this sector within the next few
years through NetSol’s proven software solutions which we have already
commenced marketing in the U.S. Realizing its investment in the
U.S. infrastructure and office space by repositioning its Emeryville
office as the Company’s San Francisco based global headquarters.
Management plans to combine its current Calabasas, California corporate
headquarters with the operating
headquarters.
|
●
|
Expanding
into the Americas. NetSol sees a strong opportunity to
establish its brand recognition and create critical mass in the
Americas. Despite the recession and consolidations in the
U.S., NetSol has embarked on an aggressive strategy to reposition and
rebrand NetSol for the U.S markets. Strategically rolling out offerings of
the NetSol Financial Suite to our global auto manufacturer, whether
captive or non-captive, in the North and South American
markets. NetSol believes these are matured but ripe
markets for its flagship LeaseSoft
applications.
|
●
|
Grow
NetSol in the UAE and Gulf States region. In 2009, NetSol anticipates
strong penetration in the Gulf countries including the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, the UAE and other developing economies. The Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia has been largely unaffected by the global
recession. Accordingly, this country is an ideal target both
for potential customers and potential partners for NetSol. Our focus has
been on forging joint ventures with major conglomerates to meet their
programming and services needs from NetSol’s Center of Excellence
technology campus in Lahore. We expect to sign off on several new joint
ventures that would create visible, dependable and continuous revenue
streams with stronger operating
margins.
|
●
|
Appoint
local partners to further penetrate the Chinese market. While
we are experiencing some slowdown, our multi-national customers are
continuously expanding their relationship with NetSol. We plan to
aggressively promote our NFS product offering into this growing economy by
appointing local partners.
|
●
|
Consolidations
in Europe. The European economy has shown serious decline and
the severe impact of consolidation and budget cuts have started to
intensely affect our business there. However, NTE proactively started cost
cuts in the second quarter of fiscal 2008-2009 while refocusing their
strategy in new verticals and
segments.
|
●
|
Actively
exploring both opportunistic and synergistic alliances and partnerships in
the Americas, Asia, and the Middle
East.
|
●
|
Improve
the quality of hiring of senior management personnel in key locations.
Further build a stronger middle management resource pool to deliver and
execute the growth and earnings envisioned by the
management.
|
●
|
Grow
into new business verticals including healthcare, insurance, and banking
in the US and European markets. The launch of Global Business Services
through these verticals is an important goal in
2009.
|
●
|
NetSol’s
technology campus to become much more cost efficient, enhancing
productivity and services to global clients and
partners.
|
●
|
Globally
expand and diversify development capabilities in other emerging markets
that offer similar cost arbitrage and quality of IT resources. This will
reduce the dependencies on the Lahore campus and will be a strong risk
mitigation approach.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments
and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on
the assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These
estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external
disclosures of NetSol including information regarding contingencies, risk and
financial condition. Management believes our use of estimates and
underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and
conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed
for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout
NetSol. Primary areas where our financial information is subject to
the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include our
evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the recoverability of
deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether these assets are
likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base our
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may
differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during
the preparation of our financial statements.

recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated
on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that
the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible
assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, “Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of” which
requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future
cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of
modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate
of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.

INCOME
TAXES
We
recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability
method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary
differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets generated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating
losses are reduced in part by a valuation allowance. We regularly
review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation
allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the
expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary
differences. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we
estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of
the net deferred tax assets.

Net
revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 were $5,271,009 as compared to
$8,406,470 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007. This
reflects a decrease of $3,135,461 or 37.3% in the current quarter as compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 2007. Revenue from services, which
includes consulting and implementation, decreased 23% from $4,049,287 to
$3,109,737. License revenues decreased 77% from $2,866,807 to
$647,979. Maintenance revenues grew by 1.5% over the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2008. The decline in overall revenues is primarily
a result of the delay of purchasing decisions for high value software licenses
or business services, related to the global economic slowdown. The
Company had hoped to close at least two major service contracts in Pakistan
(with an approximate value of $3 million). This is now expected to
occur in within the next few quarters. NetSol in Pakistan has been
pre-qualified to participate in several public sector projects. The
most significant is the World Bank funded Land Record Management Information
Systems or LRMIS. This project has a World Bank grant of $300 million
in Pakistan and NetSol was given two pilot projects in the province of Punjab in
2007, and one in 2008 in Islamabad, and we anticipate winning key projects in
this area in the next few quarters.

The
activities for NetSol new license sales of its suite of financial
products continue despite the global economic slowdown. The current pipeline
contains financial institutions and captive auto manufacturers globally at
various stages of decision making.
Due to
the revision in our pricing policy, LeaseSoft license value in APAC is in the
range of $1.0 to $2.0 million, without factoring in services maintenance and
implementation fees. Normally, NetSol negotiates 18-20% yearly
maintenance contracts with customers. A number of large leasing
companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This places
NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by
these companies. As the Company continues to sell more of
these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could
increase accordingly.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, NetSol acquired Cienna Solutions LLC,
bringing SAP consulting services into the NetSol Solutions
portfolio. NetSol was awarded a major consulting services contract
with a leading commercial bank located in the United Arab Emirates to provide
consultancy services in the area of information security and quality
engineering. NetSol signed a Business Processing Outsourcing
agreement with the AJK Group to provide accounting services to the companies,
trusts and foundations under the administration of AJK.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2007, in our APAC division, a major automotive
captive in Hong Kong went live with our LeaseSoft Solution. NetSol
also won a contract to design and implement an IT system for a major public
sector hospital. This opportunity for NetSol represents a new business sector
vertical for the Company, focused on the development and implementation of
Hospital Management Systems (HMS). NetSol will be collaborating on
this project with a partner organization that specializes in process automation
for the healthcare sector and related services through its indigenously
developed software applications. Due to the political crises in
Pakistan that surged in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, NetSol’s local
business slowed down. But in spite of this there was no disruption in
our development technology campus as we delivered our services unhindered;
however we did experience some decline in new business activity in the local
market.
The gross
profit was $1,427,285 in the quarter ending December 31, 2008 as compared with
$4,786,670 for the same quarter of the previous year a decrease of 70% or
$3,359,385. The gross profit percentage for the quarter
decreased to 27% from 57% in the quarter ended December 31,
2007. The cost of sales was $3,843,724 in the current quarter
compared to $3,619,800 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2008. As a
percentage of sales, it increased from 43% for the quarter ended December 31,
2007 to 73% in the current quarter. Salaries and consultant fees
decreased slightly by $18,114 from $2,400,991 in the prior comparable quarter to
$2,382,877, and as a percentage of sales, it increased from 29% in the prior
comparable quarter to 45% in the current quarter. The gross profit
margin may improve as the operations in Horsham, UK and Emeryville, CA, US
continue to be fully integrated and cost savings are achieved. The
Company has invested heavily in its infrastructure, both in people and equipment
during the current fiscal year as it has situated itself for increased growth
organically as indicated in the increase in depreciation, amortization and other
expenses in cost of revenues of $369,237.
Operating
expenses were $4,244,321 for the quarter ending December 31, 2008 as compared to
$3,338,814, for the corresponding period last year for an increase of
$905,507. As a percentage of sales it increased from 40% to
81%. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $494,834 and
$479,904 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $944,520 and
$815,771 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $128,749
from the corresponding period last year. As a percentage of sales,
these costs increased 10% to 18%. General and
administrative expenses were $962,711 and $826,033 for the quarters ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $ 136,678 or
17%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 18% in the current
quarter compared to 10% in the comparable quarter.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $880,846 and $1,086,729, in the quarter ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Although this reflects a19%
decrease or $205,883, the percentage of sales increased to 17% from
13%. Professional services expense increased 142% to $312,940 in the
quarter ended December 31, 2008, from $129,539 in the corresponding period last
year.
Loss from
operations was $2,817,036 compared to income from operations of $1,447,856 for
the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This
represents an decrease of $4,264,892 for the quarter compared with the
comparable period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, income
(loss) from operations was (53%) in the current quarter compared to 17% in the
prior period.
Net loss
was $3,266,516 compared to net income of $433,503 for the quarters ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This is a decrease in net
income of $3,700,019 compared to the prior year. The current fiscal
quarter amount includes a net reduction of $32,062 compared to $977,248 in the
prior period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect, and NetSol-TiG
owned by another party, and the 41.32%/39.42% minority interest in NetSol
PK. Interest expense was $296,578 in the current quarter as
compared to $189,142 in the comparable period. Net loss per share,
basic and diluted, was $0.12 as compared to net income per share, basic of $0.02
and diluted of $0.02 for the quarters ended December 31, 2008 and
2007.

The net
EBITDA loss was $1,857,944 compared to income of $1,412,382 after amortization
and depreciation charges of $1,027,263 and $751,633, income taxes of $50,855 and
$(1,483), and interest expense of $296,578 and $189,142,
respectively. The EBITDA loss per share, basic and diluted was $0.07
for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and the EBITDA earnings per share, basic
and diluted, was $0.06 and $0.05, respectively, for the quarter ended December
31, 2007. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of
performance, we are providing it because we believe it to be an important
supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by securities
analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in our industry. It should not be considered as an alternative to net
income, operating income or any other financial measures calculated and
presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
measure of our liquidity. It may not be indicative of the Company’s
historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential
future results.

Net
revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008 were $14,571,976 as compared
to $17,059,707 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This
reflects a decrease of $2,487,731 or 15%. Revenue from services,
which includes consulting and implementation, decreased 10% from $9,215,552 to
$8,287,162. License revenues decreased 33% from $4,770,359 to
$3,177,787. Maintenance revenues grew by 1.1% over the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2008. The decline in overall revenues is primarily
a result of the delay of purchasing decisions for high value software licenses
or business services, related to the global economic slowdown. The
Company had hoped to close at least two major service contracts in Pakistan
(with an approximate value of $3 million). This is now expected to
occur within the next few quarters. NetSol in Pakistan has been
pre-qualified to participate in several public sector projects. The
most significant is the World Bank funded Land Record Management Information
Systems or LRMIS. This project has a World Bank grant of $300 million
in Pakistan and NetSol was given two pilot projects in the province of Punjab in
2007, and one in 2008 in Islamabad, and we anticipate winning key projects in
this area in the next few quarters.

live with our LeaseSoft Solution. A major contract was signed with
one of the largest Leasing companies in Saudi Arabia for
LeaseSoft. This contract marks NetSol’s entry into the lucrative
Middle East region. NetSol also won a contract to design and implement an IT
system for a major public sector hospital. This opportunity for NetSol
represents a new business sector vertical for the Company, focused on the
development and implementation of Hospital Management Systems
(HMS). NetSol will be collaborating on this project with a partner
organization that specializes in process automation for the healthcare sector
and related services through its indigenously developed software
applications.

margin may improve as the operations in Horsham, UK and Emeryville, CA, US

Company has invested heavily in its infrastructure, both in people and equipment
during the current fiscal year as it has situated itself for increased growth
organically as indicated in the increase in depreciation, amortization and other

and marketing expenses were $1,850,364 and $1,919,222, in the six months ended

The net
EBITDA income was $441,505 compared to $3,333,633 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $2,058,796 and $1,491,703, income taxes of $58,037 and

share, basic and diluted, was $0.15 and $0.14, respectively, for the six months
ended December 31, 2007. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP
measure of performance, we are providing it because we believe it to be an
important supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by
securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation
of companies in our industry. It should not be considered as an
alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures
calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities as a measure of our liquidity. It may not be indicative of
the Company’s historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive
of potential future results.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company's cash position was $5,416,302 at December 31, 2008 compared to
$8,543,109 at December 31, 2007.
Net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $510,333 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008, as compared to $2,583,642 for the comparable
period last fiscal year. The major change was the decrease in
accounts receivable, the increase in other current assets, which includes the
“Revenues in excess of billings” due to several large contracts signed and
progress on the contracts is over the amount that can be billed per the contract
terms and the decrease in accounts payable which includes the Unearned Revenues
representing the increase in maintenance contracts.
Net cash
used by investing activities amounted to $5,742,451 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008, as compared to $3,898,847 for the comparable period last
fiscal year. The Company had net purchases of property and equipment
of $1,551,217 compared to $1,556,424 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The increase in intangible assets which represents amounts
capitalized for the development of new products was $3,023,777 and $1,479,492
for the comparable periods.
Net cash
provided by financing activities amounted to $4,620,878 and $5,825,214 for the
six months ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively. In the
current period, the Company issued $5,849,306 in convertible notes and borrowed
$3,618,590 from banks. The six months ended December 31, 2007,
included $2,707,167 from the exercise of stock options, $2,702,454 borrowed from
banks, and $1,500,000 sale of common stock .
The
Company currently has no specific plans to complete a significant new financing
in the upcoming quarter. We remain open to strategic relationships
that provide added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously
maximizing and improving cash reserves internally and reduced reliance on
external capital raising activities.
As a
growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short
term and long term business plans. Although our requirements for
capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we have the
following capital needs:
|
·
|
Working
capital of $5.0 to $7.0 million for U.S., European and UAE new business
development activities and infrastructure
enhancement.
|
While
there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising
sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on
terms acceptable to the Company, we will consider raising capital through equity
based financing, bank financing, and warrant and option exercises. We would,
however, use some of our internal cash flow to meet certain obligations as
mentioned above. However, the Company is very conscious of the
dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based
capital.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report (December 31,
2008). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording,
processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
In
preparing the Company’s quarterly report on form 10Q for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2009, it was determined that the financial statements for the
periods ending June 30, 2006, June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008 were required to
be restated. As a result of the restatement, Management initiated an
additional level of financial statement review designed to materially strengthen
the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
