NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
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.

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.

CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The Company leases various fixed assets under capital lease arrangements expiring in various years through 2014.  The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are depreciated over the lesser of their related lease terms or their estimated useful lives and are secured by the assets themselves. Depreciation of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Following is the aggregate minimum future lease payments under capital leases as of December 31, 2009:

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.

Organized into specialized practices, these product and services offerings include portfolio management systems for the financial services industry, consulting, custom development, systems integration, and technical services for the global healthcare, insurance, real estate, and technology markets. NetSol's commitment to quality is demonstrated by its achievement of the ISO 9001, ISO 279001, and SEI (Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, USA) CMMi (Capability Maturity Model) Level 5 assessments, a distinction shared by fewer than 100 companies worldwide. NetSol’s clients include Fortune 500 manufacturers, global automakers, financial institutions, technology providers, and governmental agencies.

Founded in 1996, NetSol is headquartered in Calabasas, California. NetSol also has operations and/or offices in: Horsham, United Kingdom; Alameda, California, USA; Beijing, China; Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, Pakistan; and, Bangkok, Thailand.

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, business executives with labor or services-centric budgetary responsibilities are not just encouraged but, in fact, obliged to engage in “Make or Buy” decision process when contemplating how to support and staff new development, testing, services support and delivery activities.  The Company business offerings are aligned as a BestShoring® solutions strategy.  Simply defined, BestShoring® is NetSol Technologies’ ability to draw upon its global resource base and construct the best possible solution and price for each and every customer.  Unlike traditional outsourcing offshore vendors, NetSol draws upon an international workforce and delivery capability to ensure a “BestShoring® delivers BestSolution™” approach.

NetSol combines domain expertise, not only with lowest cost blended rates from its development  centers  located around the world, but also with the guarantee of localized program and project management while minimizing any implementation risk associated with a single service center.  Our BestShoring® approach, which we consider a unique and cost effective global development model, is leading the way into the 21st century, providing value added solutions for Global Business Services™ through a win-win partnership, rather than the traditional outsourced vendor framework.  Our focus on “Solutions” serves to ensure the most favorable pricing while delivering in-depth domain experience.  NetSol currently has locations in Bangkok, Beijing, Lahore, London and Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area to best serve its clients and partners worldwide.  By having regional proximity development centers, we are able to provide interface and interaction with our local clients and partners. This provides NetSol customers with the optimum balance of subject matter expertise, in-depth domain experience, and cost effective labor, all merged into a scalable solution.  In this way, “BestShoring® delivers BestSolution™”.

Information technology services are valuable only if they fulfill the business strategy and project objectives set forth by the customer. NetSol’s expert consultants have the technical knowledge and business experience to ensure the optimization of the development process in alignment with basic business principles.  The Company offers a broad array of professional services to clients in the global commercial markets and specializes in the application of advanced and complex IT enterprise solutions to achieve its customers' strategic objectives.

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 support collaboration with origination channel and asset partners.  LeasePak can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users.  In terms of 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 solutions provide the equipment and vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading 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 through our European operations; LeasePak 6.0b of our NFS™ product suite; enterprise wide information systems, such as or LRMIS, MTMIS and Hospital Management Systems; Accounting Outsourcing Services, and, NetSol Technology Institute, our specialized career and technology program in 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:
 
·
SAP R/3 System deployments
 
·
NetWeaver
 
·
Exchange Infrastructure Portals
 
·
MySAP Business Suite
 
·
Supplier Relationship Management Module
 
·
Client Relationship Management Module
 
·
SAP/Business Objects Products and related Services

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 a slump in sales in UK and European markets, NTE recently won new contracts in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Although the NTE UK team has been effectively scaled down, we still see noticeable improvements as existing and new clients are indicating a wish to acquire our solutions.

 
·
Launching successfully in Business Intelligence and Information Security verticals, as new practices. We forsee sound new revenues in this very lucrative market worldwide.

·
While consolidating the development and sales teams, further build and expand in the North America market.  As the most mature and largest market for the Company’s solutions, North America will remain key to new revenue in the coming years.  NetSol’s existing product line including LeasePak and its modules will remain as a primary offering to support our existing customers.
 
·
NetSol SAP practice will enhance the revenue and add new customers for SAP consulting service, staffing & proprietary bolt-on software offerings.

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.

·
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.

·
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.

 
·
We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business and operating results.

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 31

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
