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.
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.
The
following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted earnings per share computations:

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.
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.

licenses and customer lists were comprised of the following:

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

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 months ended September 30, 2007 should be
restated. The net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was
overstated by $877,188.

Management
continues to be focused on building its delivery capability and has achieved
key
milestones in that respect. Key projects are being delivered on time and on
budget, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal
processes.
In
a
quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol is frequently
assessed to maintain its CMMi Level 5 quality certification. We believe that
the
CMMi standards achievement is a key reason in NetSol’s demand surge worldwide.
We remain convinced that this trend will continue for all NetSol offerings
promoting further beneficial alliances and increasing the number and quality
of
our global customers. The quest for quality standards is a key to NetSol overall
sustainability and success. In 2008 NetSol PK became ISO 27001 certified, a
global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security
Management.
MATERIAL
TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL
NetSol
has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol
Positive
trends:
·
|
Robust
worldwide shift towards cost redundancies, economies of scale and
labor
arbitrage.
|
·
|
The
most challenging global economic pressures and recession has shifted
IT
processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions
providers, to control the costs and improve
ROIs.
|
·
|
New
trends in the most emerging and newest markets. There has been a
noticeable new demand of leasing and financing solutions as a result
of
new buying habits and patterns in the Middle East, Eastern Europe
and
Central America.
|
·
|
The
overall leasing and finance industry in North America has steadily
grown
to over $260 billion despite the subprime crises, partly due to the
resulting lack of cash liquidity.
|
·
|
The
levy of Indian IT sector excise tax of 35% (NASSCOM) on software
exports
is very positive for NetSol. In Pakistan there is a 15 year tax holiday
on
IT exports of services. There are 10 more years remaining on this
tax
incentive.
|
·
|
Cost
arbitrage, labor costs still very competitive and attractive when
compared
with India. Pakistan is significantly under priced for IT services
and
programmers as compared to India.
|
·
|
Chinese
market is strong and wide open for NetSol’s ‘niche’ products and services.
NetSol is gaining a solid traction in this
market.
|
Negative
trends:
.
·
|
Overall
slump in world markets, curtailing IT and spending
budgets.
|
·
|
Worry
of an expanding and unending credit crunch in the world economies
due to
financial and banking sector
failures.
|
·
|
Overall
decline of auto sales due to higher oil prices and inflationary
pressure.
|
·
|
The
disturbance in Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan borders. Due
to 9/11
events and global war on terrorism, the travel advisory of Americans
travel restrictions to Pakistan continue. In addition, travel restrictions
to the US and more stringent immigration laws are causing delays
in travel
to the US.
|
·
|
Negative
perception and image created by extremism and terrorism in the South
Asian
region.
|
·
|
Unstable
economic and political environment in Pakistan and the current volatility
of Pakistan’s capital markets.
|
·
|
Global
recession and slowed economic environment across is tangibly affecting
almost every sector and industry.
|
·
|
Resulting
auto sales decline worldwide and most challenging times for credit
and
finance related business has caused curtailed spending and revised
budgets.
|
·
|
Lack
of liquidity in practically every market and economy has shaken up
the
confidence of consumers, thus less
spending.
|
·
|
An
economic turnaround may take 2 years or more
worldwide.

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.
.
VALUATION
OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The
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 September 30, 2008 were $9,300,967 as compared
to
$8,653,237 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. This reflects an increase
of $647,730 or 7.5% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 2007. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and
implementation, increased from $5,166,265to $5,177,425. License revenues grew
a
healthy 33% over the comparable quarter in fiscal 2008. The increase is
attributable mostly to growth in services business, several new license sales
of
LeaseSoft in China, growing outsourcing business of NetSol-Innovation (JV)
and
sales in North America. In addition, several new verticals have been formed
in
Lahore and are now producing revenues. 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 a recent one in 2008
in Islamabad. NetSol anticipates winning key projects in this area in next
few
quarters and is awaiting the final decision

The
activities for NetSol new license sales - LeaseSoft is increasingly on the
rise.
The current pipeline boasts many captive auto manufacturers globally at an
advance stage of closing or 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 to upward of 60%.
During
the current fiscal quarter, NetSol PK signed a multi-million dollar contract
with one of the leading leasing companies in Korea for LeaseSoft.CMS. An
existing customer signed an agreement for licensing and implementation of
LeaseSoft.WFS. In the local Pakistan market, NetSol PK won an information
security consulting contract from a large local bank for the provision of
services to strengthen the InfoSec regime in the bank.
During
the prior fiscal year, NetSol, lead by the North American division launched
Global Services to bring our competencies in delivering IT services to the
global market and especially in North America. A new business model,
“BestShoring” was developed to deliver the best solution to the market using
both on-shore and off-shore resources.
The
North
American division has introduced “consulting selling” to it market whereby the

joint-venture.
During
the current fiscal quarter, NetSol Europe, in concert with NetSol PK, signed
an
agreement with a Cyprus based company in which they will gradually outsource

accounting outsourcing business of our company.

its
infrastructure, both in people and equipment as it situated itself for increased
growth organically as indicated in the increase in depreciation and amortization

services expense increased 81% to $306,886 in the quarter ended September 30,

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.

added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving cash reserves
internally and reduced reliance on external capital raise.
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 US, European and UAE, new business
development activities and infrastructure
enhancements.
|
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 be very cautious and prudent about
any
new capital raise given the global market declines. However, the Company is
very
conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based
capital.
