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-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. 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”), NetSol-Innovations (Pvt) Limited (“EI”), 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 March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (ASC 815). 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, as amended (ASC 815); and, how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. FASB Statement No. 161(ASC 815) 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 information. The adoption of SFAS
161 (ASC 815) did not impact the Company’s financial statements.
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 adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the Company’s
financial statements.

In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163 (ASC 944) “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 adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the
Company’s financial statements.
EITF
Issue No. 07-5(ASC 815) “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded Feature)
is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5) was issued in June 2008 to
clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or features were indexed to
an entity’s own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6(ASC 815), “The Meaning of
“Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 01-6) (ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815)
applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded feature) that has
all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes
of determining whether that instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the
first part of the paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also applicable to any
freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that
is potentially settled in an entity's own stock, regardless of whether it has
all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes
of determining whether to apply EITF 00-19(ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not
apply to share-based payment awards within the scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based
Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)). However, an equity-linked financial instrument
issued to investors to establish a market-based measure of the fair value of
employee stock options is not within the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is
subject to EITF 07-5(ASC 815). The
guidance is applicable to existing instruments and is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement
did not impact the company’s financial statements.
On
January 12, 2009, FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01 (ASC 325), “Amendment to the
Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment
guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325), “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 (ASC 320), “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
adoption of this pronouncement did not impact the Company’s financial
statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become
effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption
permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software
elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to
the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of
the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will
now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the
FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are
outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new
guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for
deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the
selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement
consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes
new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price
method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption
of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our 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)(ASC 260), “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.

5 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & FOREIGN CURRENCY
SFAS 130
(ASC 220) requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available for
sale securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension
liability, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders’
equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. The accounts of
NetSol UK and NTE use the British Pound; NetSol PK, Connect, Omni, and EI use
Pakistan Rupees; and Abraxas uses the Australian Dollar as the functional
currencies. NetSol Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary, NTNA, use the
U.S. Dollar as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are
translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results
are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the
period. Accumulated translation losses are classified as an
item of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section
of the consolidated balance sheet were $7,754,102 and $6,899,397 as of December
31, 2009, and June 30, 2009, respectively. During the six months ended December

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 (ASC 350).
As part
of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software
development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86 (ASC 985), “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.

Fair Value
Measurements
ASC Topic
820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 820 et. seq.,
defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for
fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are
defined as follows:
·
|
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
·
|
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
·
|
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to
the fair value measurement.
|
The
Company’s Lease Abandonment Liability is carried at fair value totaling
$1,076,347 and zero as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009,
respectively. The Company used Level 2 inputs for its valuation
methodology for this liability, as their fair values were determined based on
various assumptions.

NOTE
12 – DIVIDEND PAYABLE
PREFERRED
SHAREHOLDERS
The
Company had issued Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock under
which dividends were payable (see Note 14). The dividend is to be
paid quarterly, either in cash or stock at the Company’s election. On
August 18, 2009, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock
(1,920 shares).
NOTE
13 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On July
23, 2008, the Company entered into a Convertible Note with three investors with
a total value of $6,000,000. The note matures in 3 years and has an interest
rate of 7% per annum that is payable semi-annually. The note can be converted
into common shares at a conversion rate of $3.00 per share. The fair market
value of the shares at the date of signing was $2.90; therefore, no beneficial
conversion feature expense was recorded on the transaction. No warrants were
issued in connection with this note. The Convertible Note contains full-ratchet
anti-dilution protection. However, despite this protection, at no
time shall the Company issue shares as part of a conversion or other event
contained in the Convertible Note where the resulting issuance would
require issuance in violation of Nasdaq rules.
In
January 2009, the Company entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver”) with
holders of the Convertible Notes (the “Holders”) to modify the terms and
conditions of the original note. Under the Waiver, Holders waived
their right to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection as to strategic investors
only for a period of 18 months from the date of the Waiver and permanently
waived participation in future financings in consideration of a new conversion
rate of $0.78 per common share and four equal quarterly cash installment
payments from the Company of $250,000 each, beginning on January
2009. Since this was an extinguishment of the existing contract, the
Company accounted for beneficial conversion feature of $230,769 which is being
amortized over the remaining life of the contract. The Company accrued
$1,000,000 under the Waiver as loss on extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2009.
The
Convertible Notes entered into by and between the Company and the Holders
includes certain conditions. Specifically, the Convertible Notes do
not permit interest to be paid in shares of common stock if, at the time the
interest is due the Equity Conditions, as defined therein, are not met, or there
has been an Event of Default. In such instances, the Company must
make cash interest payments. So long as the principal is due, the
Company may not, without prior approval of 75% of the Holders, incur
indebtedness senior to the Holders. A failure to follow this covenant
would result in an Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing with respect to any of the Notes, the Holder may declare all
of the then outstanding Principal amount of this note and all other notes held
by the Holder, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable
immediately. In the event of such acceleration, the Notes held by the
Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A)
the highest closing price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding
the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio. In either
case, the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate
to the Holder if such amount is not paid within 7 days of the Holder’s
request. The remedies under this Note shall be
cumulative. Failure to comply with the terms of the Note, the
Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement may result in an Event of
Default hereunder. These notes carry anti-dilution clauses and, due
to issuance of $2,000,000 notes at a conversion price of $0.63 in August 2009,
the conversion price of these notes was also adjusted downwards to $0.63
resulting in the additional beneficial conversion feature of $715,518. As of
December 31, 2009, the total amount amortized for these notes was
$235,137.
On August
14, 2009, one of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the
terms therein to convert $200,000 worth of principal value of the notes into
317,460 shares of common stock. This conversion reduced the total
principal of the Convertible Notes to $5,800,000. On October 12,
2009, three of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the
terms therein to convert principal and interest due thereon into a total of
809,393 shares of common stock. On December 21, 2009, one of the
Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the terms therein, to
convert principal and interest due thereon into a total of 822,077 shares of
common stock. This conversion reduced the total principal of the
Convertible Notes to $4,800,000.
On August
11, 2009, the Company entered into Convertible Notes with a principal value of
$2,000,000, bearing interest at 9% per annum and convertible in one year at an
initial conversion price of $0.63 per share (the “2009 Convertible
Notes”). The Convertible Notes are with the same two accredited
investors who were the remaining Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stockholders. The proceeds of the 2009 Convertible Notes were used
exclusively for the redemption of the Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stockholders. The Company accounted for a beneficial conversion
feature of $1,428,571 which will be amortized over the life of the contract. As
on December 31, 2009, the total amount amortized for these notes was $559,687.
Both of these convertible notes are recorded as net of unamortized beneficial
conversion feature of $1,441,368 at December 31, 2009. During the six month
period ended December 31, 2009, interest was accrued in the amount of $418,975
on these Convertible Notes.

From
April to July 11, 2009, the Company sold a total of 5,309,929 shares to
unrelated employees under the Employee Stock Purchase Agreement approved by the
Board on April 9, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
only unregistered shares of stock were sold at a discount from the market price
as of the board approval date of $0.20 per share. The agreements were
subsequently amended to adjust the issue price at the closing bid price on the
date before the agreement is fully executed with each employee. To accomplish
this, the employees who had already purchased the shares were given the option
to either adjust the consideration by decreasing the number of shares purchased
to match the adjusted issue price, or by paying more money. As a
result of the adjustment a total of $1,866,100 would be due based on the
shareholders elected adjustment.
BUSINESS
COMBINATIONS
On
October 31, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the
member shares of Ciena Solutions, LLC, a California limited liability
corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid a
deposit of $350,000 to the two members for the purchase with the full purchase
price to be determined based on the performance of the business unit over
the next four years. No assets or liabilities were acquired by the
Company at the acquisition, excluding the rights to the existing
contracts. As the effects of this transaction are insignificant to
the consolidated financial statements, no pro forma information has been
provided. Ciena Solutions, LLC has been merged into NTNA.
The total
purchase price is comprised of the Initial Consideration and the Deferred
Consideration. The Initial Consideration was Three Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($350,000). The Deferred Consideration is to be paid
in four (4) annual installments, to be calculated based upon future earnings and
certain other factors, however, that under no circumstances may the total number
of NetSol Shares issued to Sellers (including those shares issued as
part of the Initial Consideration and those shares issued which would be
considered aggregated with those issued pursuant to the purchase agreement
according to NASDAQ rules) exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of NetSol, less treasury shares, on the date of the
Closing. In the event NetSol is not permitted to issue as part of the
Deferred Consideration, shares of common stock equal in value to 50% of the
Deferred Consideration, NetSol may issue such amount as is permitted and the
remainder in cash. Each Fiscal Year shall be measured from July 1 to

NOTE
15 - SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The
Company has identified three global regions or segments for its products and
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
information for the six months ended December 31, 2009:

In
addition to services, our product offerings are fashioned to provide a Best
Product for Best Solution model. Our offerings include our flagship
global solution, NetSol Financial Suite (NFS)™. NFS™, a robust suite of five
software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance
industry covering the complete leasing and finance cycle starting from quotation
origination through end of contract. The five software applications under NFS™
have been designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and are capable
of dealing with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual,
multi-distributor and multi-manufacturer environments. Each
application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to
address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. NFS™ is
a result of more than eight years of effort resulting in over 60 modules grouped
in five comprehensive applications. These five applications are complete systems
in themselves and can be used independently to exhaustively address specific
sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully
automate the entire leasing / financing cycle. NetSol recently added
LeaseSoft Fleet Management System (FMS) and a Point of Sale (POS)
system. The Company is expanding NFS™ from an asset based solution to
also include a comprehensive lending based solution. Management
believes this will open up a broader and more lucrative global market
opportunity to the Company.
Beyond
LeaseSoft, the NetSol Financial Suite™ also includes
LeasePak. LeasePak provides the leasing technology industry with the
development of Web-enabled and Web-based tools to deliver superior customer
service, reduce operating costs, streamline the lease management lifecycle, and

scalability, NetSol Technologies North America offers the basic product as well
as a collection of highly specialized add on modules for systems, portfolios and
accrual methods for virtually all sizes and complexities of operations. These

Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s
leading independent lessors.
Our
product offerings and services also include: LeaseSoft Portals and Modules

enterprise wide information systems, such as or LRMIS, MTMIS and Hospital
Management Systems; Accounting Outsourcing Services, and, NetSol Technology

Pakistan.
To
further bolster NetSol’s Solutions capabilities, in October 2008, NetSol
acquired Ciena Solutions, a preferred SAP and Business Objects integration firm.
The Ciena Solutions practice is now integrated into our wholly owned subsidiary,
NTNA. This acquisition expanded NetSol’s domain and subject matter
expertise to include integration and consulting services for:

In
additional to this expansion of SAP-centric integration consulting and services,
this practice has developed proprietary intellectual property in the form of
designs and source code focused on enhancing SAP-centric procurement
activities.
The
Company continues its efforts to both reduce redundancy and cohesively present
services and product operations on a global basis. This consolidation enables
the Company to coordinate and streamline product, service and marketing while
taking further advantage of the cost arbitrage offered by our highly trained,
highly productive, Pakistani resources. This consolidation follows
the successful integration of the operations acquired in the United Kingdom and
the San Francisco Bay Area in California and facilitates the use of these
regional offices as platforms for presenting an expanding services offering,
relying on the experience and resources in Pakistan and our product offerings in
North America and Europe.
While the
Company is no longer divided into groups and regions, the Company will continue
to maintain regional offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, California for North
America and the parent headquarters in Calabasas, California; Horsham, United
Kingdom, for Europe; and, our “center of excellence” operation in Lahore,
Pakistan for Asia Pacific. The Company continues to maintain services or
products and specific sales offices in China, Thailand and Pakistan and in any
other country on an as needed basis.

PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
Management
undertook major steps to counter the deep effect of global recession, such
as:
|
●
|
Moved
the NTNA office from Emeryville to a much smaller office space in Alameda,
California. The decision to give up the long term office lease and
downsize to a new office location conserves cash at an estimated $5
million over five years.
|
|
●
|
Enforced
consistent execution of cost rationalization in every part of the Company
by further improving cost efficiencies and economies of
scale.
|
●
|
Improved
NetSol Financial Suite™ ‘NFS™’ –NetSol’s suite of products, in its
flexibility, robustness and compatibility to become a leading
edge solution for global
markets.
|
●
|
Organically
grew business both in products and services through new joint ventures in
major economies such as Europe and North.
America.
|
●
|
Increased
capital investment in main infrastructure to support the positive turn
around in global economy for next two years. This will position NetSol
strategically to manage the growth in 2011 and
thereafter.
|
|
●
|
In
fiscal 2009, the Company restructured the corporate finance team at the
headquarters by promoting Mr. Boo-Ali Siddiqui, CFO of NetSol PK (a 5 year
veteran with NetSol), to global CFO for NetSol Technologies, Inc. In
addition, the Company added an experienced controller to support the newly
appointed CFO, while each subsidiary now has a stronger accounting staff
in place.
|
|
●
|
In
2009, to enhance productivity and cost efficiencies, the concept of Global
Delivery Model has been implemented. Without moving the
source codes of US products or UK products to Lahore, Pakistan, we have
integrated the local developers/engineers/programming resources with PK
technology group teams. This model would eventually create much stronger
band width for customers worldwide but also have the same interfacing
local management available for regional clients. In essence, the concept
of BestShoring® model is effectively being
executed.
|
|
●
|
Revamped
sales organization from several departments into one group. The newly
created global sales organization under one president of global
sales, centrally headquartered in the UK, provides much improved
visibility and traction in all key markets worldwide. In addition to
achieving critical mass and visibility, regional sales heads have been
created to directly report to President Group
Sales.
|
|
●
|
Initiated
recruitment of sales and business development personnel in the US and APAC
region to capitalize on emerging and new opportunities stemming
from the economic downturn.
|
|
●
|
The
Company appointed Mr. Imran Haider as the new Chief Operating Officer for
NTNA replacing the outgoing, Mr. Mitch Van Wye. The new COO
brings broad experience and extensive product knowledge as an 8 year
veteran in the NetSol APAC region. Mr. Haider is one of the most senior
and accomplished sales executive with
NetSol.
|
●
|
While
some marketing and new project activities were slowed down due to the poor
economy, the Company’s new product research and
development activities have increased. Management’s vision is that a one
product, global solution, will place NetSol in the next level of critical
mass solutions providers.

Business
Development Activities:

Earlier
in 2009, NetSol signed a joint venture agreement with a major Saudi
Arabian business conglomerate representing a major break-through for the
Company. The joint venture is a relationship between NetSol
Technologies, Inc. and the Atheeb Group of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
(“KSA”). NetSol owns 51% and Atheeb owns 49% of the newly created Atheeb
NetSol, Ltd. to be based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Atheeb has been in
operation since 1985 and has major businesses in defense, public works,
telecom, financial, transportation and agriculture. By partnering with
Atheeb through a joint venture, NetSol gains access to not only major
local projects in key sectors but also to regional economies in Gulf
states, Central Asia and Africa. The influence and reputation of Atheeb in
the KSA and regional markets is compelling, and NetSol expects to benefit
handsomely in coming years. The joint venture will fully utilize NetSol
PK’s Lahore based center of excellence, CMMi Level 5 technology campus.
The first IT project was awarded to NetSol by Atheeb Group pending
finalization of the formation of Atheeb NetSol Limited (ANL). The
formation of the new entity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Atheeb NetSol
Limited (“ANL”) is nearly complete and is expected to begin business
activities in the region.

The
acquisition of Ciena Solutions for the inclusion of SAP services, has been
effectively integrated with NetSol’s operations. Our new SAP services and
offerings are being marketed to our existing US based clients and new
markets to establish a key new vertical. The US clients
list includes a major energy utility company in California. Additionally,
we believe a majority of NetSol global clients could benefit from SAP
services and solutions. The Company is beta testing its product, SMART
OCI™, a search engine to expand its SAP product portfolio. The practice
was recently awarded SAP PartnerEdge status as an SAP services
partner.

|
By
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. For example, NetSol is strategically
rolling out offerings of the NetSol Financial Suite™ to our global auto
manufacturers, whether captive or non-captive, in the North and South
American markets. NetSol sees a new market in Mexico,
Brazil, Costa Rica and many countries in Latin America as both mature and
emerging markets are ripe for our flagship NFS™ applications. NetSol added
two new global customers to the Americas in Nissan’s North America and
Mexican operations.

|
·
|
NetSol’s
recent successes in China is proof of managements anticipation of major
growth in the Chinese market as China continues to have the strongest
economic indicators amongst the major industrial countries. China is the
third largest economic power and its auto and banking sectors are growing
at a dynamic pace, unlike the western markets. The small presence of
NetSol in Beijing, China has started to grow to nearly 20 staff with
hiring of both local and multi-national personnel. Our current five
multi-national customers in China have begun to expand their relationship
with NetSol. We recently signed new deals with a multinational auto
companies and with Minsheng Bank, one of the largest in
China. Management anticipates that the NFS™ products will
demonstrate a noted break through with Chinese companies in coming months.
While we are witnessing a surge for NFS™ the pipeline is growing very
impressively with more than 9 major customers
now.
|
·
|
NetSol
has further expanded its footprint in South East Asia by growing its
office and staff in the Bangkok office. Due to the growing demand of NFS™
in the region, the Company has initiated steps towards establishing a new
entity in Thailand to specifically cater to these growing opportunities in
Thailand and the region.

After

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 and, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing
internal processes.
In a
quest to continuously improve its quality standards, CMMi level companies are
reassessed every three years by independent consultants under the standards of
the Carnegie Mellon University to maintain its CMMi Level 5 quality
certification. NetSol will be reassessed beginning of 2010 to further
improve its processes and internal procedures. We believe that the CMMi
standards are 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 imperative to NetSol’s
overall sustainability and success. In 2008, NetSol became ISO 27001
certified, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information
Security Management.
MATERIAL
TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL
Management
has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.
Positive
trends:
|
·
|
The
global recession and consolidations have opened doors for low cost
solution providers such as NetSol. The BestShoring® model of NetSol is a
catalyst in today’s environment.
|
|
·
|
The
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.
|
|
·
|
China
has become the third largest economy and has grown to over 8% GDP while
other industrial nations have declined or grown
marginally.
|
|
·
|
China’s
automobile and banking sectors have been less affected by the global
meltdown and in fact have outgrown all other economies with their recent
automobile sales statistics.
|
|
·
|
According
to a recent article in the Economist (November 2009), China's GDP has
increased by 10.7% annual rate in the 4th quarter of 2009 and the overall
rate of growth for the year was 8.7%. China has passed Germany to become
the world's largest trading nation, and is anticipated in the first
quarter of 2010 to overtake Japan as the world's second largest
economy.
|
|
·
|
The
surviving IT companies, such as NetSol, with price advantage and a global
presence, will gain further momentum as economic indicators turn positive.
The bigger customers and targeted verticals are much more cost conscious
and are seeking a better rate of return on investments in IT services.
NetSol has an edge due to its BestShoring® model and proven track record
of delivery and implementations
worldwide.
|
|
·
|
NetSol
survived the most challenging economic times in 2008-2009 because of its
product demands and dependency of customers. The Company has well
maintained 100% delivery execution for years and has never lost a product
customer.
|
|
·
|
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
surge of joint ventures in emerging markets is growing and is beneficial
for both parties, representing strengths with core competencies without
any overlap. Thus, mitigating the risk of starting fresh in untested
territories with modest
investments.
|
|
·
|
The
aid and support of trade in Pakistan from countries like the US, China,
Saudi Arabia and other western and friendly countries seems to be growing
recently. This will positively affect NetSol, local employees and
customers worldwide. Pakistan has every potential to rise up as the plans
for energy, power, agriculture and infrastructures (including 12 new dams
to be built by Chinese companies) creates a much better outlook and growth
for Pakistan.
|
|
·
|
US
AID and many other western agencies are diligently assisting the Pakistani
people to improve literacy, education, poverty alleviation and healthcare
programs. These initiatives should result in more graduates in science and
technology areas.
|
|
·
|
The
recently passed, Kerry Lugar Aid Bill, providing $7.5 billion
in aid to Pakistan for improving security, education,
infrastructure and law and order, will further help local and foreign
companies operating in Pakistan.
|
|
·
|
Global
opportunities to diversify delivery capabilities in new emerging economies
that offer geopolitical stability and low cost IT resources reducing
dependency upon Lahore technology
campus.
|
Page
30
|
·
|
NetSol
has transformed into a true sense global IT company. In addition to Lahore
Center of Excellence, there are three regional delivery and support
centers to minimize the dependency on Lahore technology campus. Presently
the locations in San Francisco. London and Beijing are well staffed and
equipped to support the regional clients most
effectively.
|
|
·
|
Positive
growth and resiliency indicators of domestic economy in Pakistan (a cash
based economy) will lead to renewed optimism for growth in local public
and private sectors.
|
|
·
|
Our
global multi-national clients have continued to pursue deeper
relationships in newer regions and countries. This reflects our customers’
dependencies and satisfaction with our NetSol Financial Suite of
products.
|
|
·
|
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 7 more years remaining on this tax
incentive.
|
Negative
trends/Risk Factors:
|
·
|
Dramatic
and deep global recession has created a serious decline in business
spending causing significant budget cuts for many of the Company’s target
verticals.
|
|
·
|
Tightened
liquidity and credit restrictions in consumer spending has either delayed
or reduced spending on business solutions and systems squeezing IT budgets
and elongating decision making
cycles.
|
|
·
|
Corporate
earnings losses and liquidity crunch causing delays in the receivables
from few clients.
|
|
·
|
Challenged
US auto sectors, banking and retail sectors, thus resulting in longer
sales and closing cycles.
|
|
·
|
Anticipated
worsening US deficit and rise in inflation in coming years would further
put stress on consumers and business
spending.
|
|
·
|
Unrest
and growing war in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both
refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional
challenges.
|
|
·
|
Pakistan’s
struggle with militants and extremists as well as the domestic political
unrest amongst the three major parties is a major challenge creating
uncertainty about the country’s
stability

Our
customer, Toyota’s recall of several million vehicles and the effect of
this recall on their projected sales in the coming
months.

CASH
RESOURCES
We were
successful in improving our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June
30, 2009, with $4.4 million in cash worldwide. As of December 31, 2009, our cash
position was $5.21 million worldwide.
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.
Page

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 half years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
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, 2009 were $9,519,808 as compared to
$5,271,009 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This reflects an increase of
$4,248,799 or 81% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended
December 31, 2008. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and
implementation, increased 42% from $3,109,737 to $4,420,535. License
revenues increased by a massive 412% from $647,979 to
$3,318,936. Maintenance revenues grew by 18% over the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2009. The increase is primarily due to increasing
demand for our product NetSol Financial Suite™ in the Asia Pacific region.
Services revenues are also associated with the new license sales. As the license
sale increases, these will also have an increasing trend. 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.

62% from 27% in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This increase is
mainly associated with the reduction in salaries and consultant fees, repair and
maintenance and insurance expense which decreased by 16%, 32% and 39%
respectively in the current quarter when compared with the same period last
year. The cost of sales was $3,598,418 in the current quarter compared to
$3,843,724 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2009. As a percentage
of sales, it decreased from 73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 to 38%
in the current quarter. Salaries and consultant fees decreased by
$377,032 from $2,382,877, in the prior comparable quarter, to $2,005,845. And,
as a percentage of sales, it decreased from 45%, in the prior comparable
quarter, to 21% in the current quarter.
Operating
expenses were $4,230,898 for the quarter ending December 31, 2009, as compared
to $4,244,321, for the corresponding period last year for a decrease of
$13,423. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from 81% to 44%. Main
reasons for this reduction are decrease in selling and marketing expenses,
salaries and wages and the professional services which directly improved the
operating income of the company. The company has charged a provision for bad
debt of $212,840 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 whereas in the
corresponding quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company took a provision of
$648,470 in the financial statements for bad debts. Depreciation and
amortization expense amounted to $418,023 and $494,834 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were
$743,970 and $944,520 for the comparable periods, respectively, or a decrease of
$200,550 from the corresponding period last year. As a percentage of
sales, these costs decreased from 18% to just 8%. General and
administrative expenses were $1,042,172 and $962,711 for the quarters ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $79,461 or
8%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 11% in the current
quarter compared to 18% in the comparable quarter. The Company has accounted for
lease abandonment charges amounting to $1,076,347 on the early termination of
the NTNA office lease. This one time cost has reduced the
profitability for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $526,751 and $880,846, in the quarter ended December
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This reflects a 40% decrease or $354,095 and as
a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased to 6% from
17%. Professional services expense decreased 33% to $210,795 in the
quarter ended December 31, 2009, from $312,940 in the corresponding period last
year.
Income
from operations was $1,690,492 compared to loss from operations of $2,817,036
for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This
represents an increase of $4,507,527 for the quarter compared with the
comparable period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, income
(loss) from operations was 18% in the current quarter compared to (53)% in the
prior period.
Interest
expense increased by $75,695 to $372,273 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009,
compared with $296,578 in the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This increase is
mainly associated with the new $2 million convertible note which closed in
August 2009 and further financing facilities availed by various
subsidiaries of the company. Beneficial conversion feature accounted for in the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $595,215 whereas no beneficial conversion
feature was charged in the corresponding period ended December 31, 2008.
Beneficial conversion feature is a non-cash expense which is charged on the
downward adjustment of the conversion price of convertible notes. Net loss was
$447,878 compared to net loss of $3,266,516 for the quarters ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. This is a reduction in net loss by
$2,818,638 compared to the prior year. The current fiscal quarter
loss includes a net reduction of $1,028,917 compared to $32,062 in the prior
period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect, and EI owned by
another party, and the 42.04% minority interest in NetSol PK. Net loss per
share, basic and diluted, was $0.01 as compared to net loss per share, basic and
diluted of $0.12 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
respectively.
The net
EBITDA income was $948,211 compared to a loss of $1,857,944 after amortization
and depreciation charges of $991,290 and $1,027,263, income taxes of $32,526 and
$50,855, and interest expense of $372,273 and $296,578,
respectively. The EBITDA income per share basic and diluted was $0.03
for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to EBITDA loss per share, basic
and diluted, of $0.07, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Company’s EBITDA
has increased mainly due to reduction in the net loss of the Company. 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, 2009 were $17,141,881 as compared
to $14,571,976 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This
reflects an increase of $2,569,905 or 18%. Revenue from services,
which includes consulting and implementation, decreased 7% from $8,287,162 to
$7,683,299. License revenues increased 85% from $3,177,787 to
$5,870,529. Maintenance revenues grew by 15% over the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2008. The increase is primarily due to increasing demand of
our product, NetSol Financial Suite™ in the Asia Pacific region. Services
revenues are also associated with the new license sales. As the license sale
increases, these will also have an increasing trend. 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.

The gross
profit was $9,984,378 in the six months ending December 31, 2009 as compared
with $6,159,706 for the same period of the previous year for an increase of 62%
or $3,824,672. The gross profit percentage for the six months increased to 58%
from 42% in the six months ended December 31, 2008. This increase is mainly
associated with the reduction in salaries and consultant fees and travel costs
which decreased by 20% and 45%, respectively, in the current half year if
compared with the same period last year. The cost of sales was $7,157,503 in the
current period compared to $8,412,270 in the comparable period of fiscal
2008. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from 58% for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 to 42% in the current period. Salaries
and consultant fees decreased by $1,003,992, from $5,023,590 in the prior
comparable period, to $4,019,598; as a percentage of sales, it decreased from
34%, in the prior comparable period, to 23% in the current period.
Operating
expenses were $7,147,701 for the six months ending December 31, 2009 as compared
to $7,848,304, for the corresponding period last year for a decrease of
$700,603. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from 54% to 42%. The
main reasons for this reduction are decrease in selling and marketing expenses,
salaries and wages and the professional services. The provision for bad debt was
$212,840 in the half year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $648,470 in the
corresponding half year ended December 31, 2008. Depreciation and amortization
expense amounted to $930,384 and $975,042 for the six months ended December 31,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $1,468,665

administrative expenses were $2,132,183 and $1,830,828 for the six months ended

16%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 12% in the current
period compared to 13% in the comparable period last fiscal year. The Company
has accounted for lease abandonment charges amounting to $1,076,347 on the early
termination of the NTNA office lease. This one-time cost has reduced
the profitability of the Company during the quarter ended December 31,
2009.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $1,020,381 and $1,850,364, in the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This reflects a 45%
decrease or $829,983. As a percentage of sales these expenses decreased to 6%
from 13%. Professional services expense decreased 50% to $306,901 in
the six months ended December 31, 2009, from $619,826 in the corresponding
period last year.
Income
from operations was $2,836,677, compared to loss from operations of $1,688,598,
for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. This represents an increase of $4,525,275, for the six
months, compared with the comparable period in the prior year. As a
percentage of sales, income from operations was 17% in the current quarter
compared to loss from operations of 12% in the prior period.
Interest
expense increased by $340,417 to $840,887 in the half year ended December 31,
2009 compared with $500,470 in the half year ended December 31, 2008. This
increase is mainly associated with the increase in convertible note during the
current period by $2 million and further financing facilities availed by various
subsidiaries of the Company. Beneficial conversion feature accounted for in the
half year ended December 31, 2009 amounted to $893,214 whereas no beneficial
conversion feature was charged in the corresponding period ended December 31,
2008. Beneficial conversion feature is a non-cash expense which is charged on
the downward adjustment of the conversion price of convertible notes. Net loss
was $711,795 compared to net loss of $2,243,550 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This represents a reduction
in net loss by $1,531,754 compared to the prior year. The current
fiscal period loss includes a net reduction of $2,137,892 compared to $1,661,823
in the prior period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect,
and EI owned by another party, and the 42.04%/41.32% minority interest in
NetSol PK. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.02 as
compared to net loss, basic and diluted of $0.08, for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.
The net
EBITDA income was $2,168,791 compared to $441,505 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $2,002,156 and $2,058,796, income taxes of $37,543 and
$58,037, and interest expense of $840,887 and $500,470,
respectively. The EBITDA earning per share was basic $0.07 and
diluted $0.06 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to EBITDA
earnings per share, basic and diluted of $0.02, for the six months ended
December 31, 2008. 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 $5,211,674 at December 31, 2009 compared to
$5,416,302 at December 31, 2008.
Net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $4,374,822 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009, as compared to $510,333 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The major change was the increase 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.

Net cash
used in investing activities amounted to $3,976,108 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009, as compared to $5,742,451 for the comparable period last
fiscal year. The Company had net purchases of property and equipment
of $1,085,787 compared to $1,551,217 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The increase in intangible assets which represents amounts
capitalized for the development of new products was $3,118,094 and $3,023,777
for the comparable periods.
Net cash
provided by financing activities amounted to $554,399 and $4,620,878 for the six
months ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, respectively. In the
current period, the Company issued $2,000,000 in convertible notes and borrowed
$2,727,657 from banks. The six months ended December 31, 2008,
included $ 5,849,306 from convertible notes and $3,618,590 proceeds from bank
loans.
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 anticipate
requiring working capital needs 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 this method 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,
2009). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and

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 2010 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
