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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Based on current
conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161(ASC 815) to
have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
Page

In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC
approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.
In May
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163(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 Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact
its 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. Management is currently considering
the effect of this EITF on financial statements for the year beginning July 1,
2009.
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
Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial
statements.
NOTE
4 – EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE:
“Earnings
per share” is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128)(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.

The

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.

NOTE
13 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On July
23, 2008, the Company entered into Convertible Notes with three investors with a
total value of $6,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible
Notes mature in 3 years and have an interest rate of 7% per annum that is
payable semi-annually. The note could 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. As of the quarter
ended September 30, 2009, the amount of beneficial conversion feature amortized
was $63,582 and the unamortized portion was $167,187. 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 clause 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 arising of an additional beneficial conversion feature of $715,518. As on
September 30, 2009, total amount amortized for these notes was
$75,086.

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. This conversion reduced the total
principal of the Convertible Notes to $5,300,000.
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 beneficial
conversion feature of $1,428,571 which will be amortized over the life of the
contract. As on September 30, 2009, total amount amortized for these notes was
$199,609. Both of these convertible notes are recorded as net of unamortized
beneficial conversion feature of $2,036,582 at September 30, 2009.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2009, interest was accrued in the amount of
$158,064 on these Convertible Notes and the amount of $25,500 on the 2009

segments are business units located in different global regions. Each business
unit provides similar products and services; license fees for leasing and

Beijing, China; Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, Pakistan; and, Bangkok,

In
today’s highly competitive marketplace, business executives with labor or

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

design centers and campuses located around the world, but also with the

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

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. Its service offerings include IT Consulting &
Services; NetSol Defense Division; Business Intelligence, Information Security,

Consulting; maintenance and support of existing systems; and, project

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

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,
NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. 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:
|
o
|
Reduced
headcount by 140 employees in all three key locations in Pakistan, the
United Kingdom and the US. The Company’s total headcount is now
approximately 720 people.
|
|
o
|
Senior
management compensation, benefits and perquisites were reduced by an
average of 20% across the Company.
|
|
o
|
Earlier
in Fiscal year 2009, the senior management voluntarily forfeited
approximately $400,000 of earned cash bonuses. In addition, senior
officers agreed to the cancellation of option grants awarded by the Board
in 2008 to further reduce expense.
|
|
o
|
In
fiscal 2009, the Company restructured the corporate finance team at the
headquarters by promoting Mr. Boo-Ali Siddiqui, CFO of NetSol
Technologies, Ltd., Pakistan (5 year veteran with NetSol), to global CFO
for NetSol Technologies, Inc. In addition, the parent company added an
experienced controller to support the newly appointed CFO, while each
subsidiary now has a stronger accounting staff in
place.
|
|
o
|
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.
|
|
o
|
The
global delivery model would further streamline the cost base as well as
optimum utilization of NetSol Center of Excellence, CMMi Level 5
technology campus and translate into better and more competitive pricing
modules for our customers.
|
|
o
|
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.
|
|
o
|
In
wake of the severe recession, the global operating headquarters in
Emeryville, California has been moved to a smaller, more appropriate
space. Management continues to work to negotiate with the
former landlord to settle the early termination of the long term
lease. A move to new office space in, beginning in November
2009, will save substantial rent expense. The Company believes that upon
reaching a form of settlement with the landlord of the Emeryville
location, we will be able to realize further cost rationalization on the
long term basis.
|
|
o
|
The
Company appointed Mr. Imran Haider as the new Chief Operating Officer for
NTNA replacing the outgoing Mitch Van Wye. The new COO brings broad
experience and extensive product knowledge as a 7 year veteran with the
NetSol APAC region.
|
|
o
|
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 the 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).
|
|
·
|
NetSol
has formed a joint venture with Grupo Karims, a major commercial business
group in Latin America. The objective is to diversify and expand NetSol
software programming and delivery capabilities in emerging economies of
Latin America.
|
|
·
|
The
acquisition of Ciena Solutions for SAP services, has been effectively
integrated with NetSol’s operation. 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
|
NetSol
marketing activities will continue to:
|
·
|
Encourage
organic revenue growth in the Chinese market in the automobile, banking,
manufacturing and captive leasing
sectors.
|
|
·
|
Expand
the Beijing office with new local Chinese staff and senior business
development and project management

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.

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 unaffected 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 never lost a
product or a license 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.
|
|
·
|
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 the San Francisco Bay Area. London and Beijing are
well staffed and equipped to support the regional clients most
effectively.
|
Page
28
|
·
|
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 creates uncertainty about the
country’s stability.

Net
revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $7,622,073 as compared to
$9,300,967 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. This
reflects a decrease of $1,678,894 or 18% in the current quarter as compared to
the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Revenue from services, which
includes consulting and implementation, decreased from $5,177,425 to
$3,262,764. License revenues grew marginally by 1% over the
comparable quarter in fiscal 2009. The decrease is attributable mostly to the
impact of global recession and financial meltdown which the company is also
facing.
Due to
the revision in our pricing policy, NetSol Financial Suite (formerly known as
LeaseSoft) license value in APAC is in the range of $1.0 to $1.5 million,
without factoring in services maintenance and implementation
fees. Normally, NetSol negotiates 18-20% yearly maintenance contracts
with customers. A number of large leasing companies will be looking
to renew legacy applications. This places NetSol in a very strong
position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these
companies.

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.

quarters ended September 30, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The Company sold
$158,906 as compared to $150,000 of common stock. The quarter ended

The
Company does not anticipate plans to pursue new financing in the upcoming
quarter. We remain open to strategic relationships that would
provide value added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving
cash reserves internally and reduced reliance on external capital
raise.
As a
growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short
term and long term business plans. Although our requirements for
capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate
needing working capital of $5.0 to $7.0 million for US, European and UAE, new
business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.
While
there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising
sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on
terms acceptable to the Company, we will be very cautious and prudent about any
new capital raise given the global market declines. However, the
Company is very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising
equity-based capital.

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

control over financial reporting.

II OTHER
INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
Due to severe cuts in the Company’s Northern California
subsidiary, NetSol Technologies North America, the Company determined it was in
its best interests to terminate its contract for office space rental in that
location. Therefore, after much negotiation with the landlord, the
landlord served a notice to pay or quit on NTNA whereby NTNA promptly returned
the premises to the landlord. NetSol has not been served with a
lawsuit as of yet.
Consequently,
because NTNA is not in need of such a large office space, it is currently
renegotiating with two of its equipment lessors of furniture and equipment to
return the furniture and equipment or repay the remaining debt. As of
this time, there have been no lawsuits filed in connection with these lease
discussions.
In July
2009, the Company issued a total of 2,289,378 shares of restricted common stock
to accredited employees and consultants of the Company. The issuance
was adjusted to the market price on the date preceding each investor’s

conduced from May to July 2009. These shares were issued in reliance on an
exemption from registration available under Regulation D and Regulation S of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In July
2009, a total of 20,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued for
services rendered to the independent members of the Board of Directors as part
of their board compensation. The issuances were approved by both the
compensation committee and the board of directors in May
2008. . These shares were issued in reliance on exemptions
from registration available under Regulation S and D of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
In August

worth of principal from the note into 317,460 shares of common stock all
according to the terms of the original note.

services rendered. These shares were issued in reliance on exemptions
from registration under Regulation S and D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
In August
2009, two employees were issued 12,500 shares each as required according to the
terms of their employment agreements. An additional 25,000 shares of
restricted common stock was issued to another employee as part of his employment
agreement with the Company. Each employee is an accredited

amended.
