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 condensed consolidated 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, 2013. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:
Wholly-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies Americas, Inc. (“NTA”) formerly NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (NTNA)

For comparative purposes, prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For example, an entity should not evaluate whether the deferred tax asset expires before the statute of limitations on the tax position or whether the deferred tax asset may be used prior to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled. The amendments in this update do not require new recurring disclosures. ASU Topic No. 2013 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential, common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants, convertible notes payable and stock awards.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS
The Company has identified three global regions or segments for its products and services; North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Our reportable segments are business units located in different global regions. Each business unit provides similar products and services; license fees for leasing and asset-based software, related maintenance fees, and implementation and IT consulting services. Separate management of each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different operational issues and strategies due to their particular regional location. We account for intra-company sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminate them in the consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation
The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the quarter ending September 30, 2013.
Forward-Looking Information
This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that is based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to its management. When used in this report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The Company’s realization of its business aims could be materially and adversely affected by any technical or other problems in, or difficulties with, planned funding and technologies, third party technologies which render the Company’s technologies obsolete, the unavailability of required third party technology licenses on commercially reasonable terms, the loss of key research and development personnel, the inability or failure to recruit and retain qualified research and development personnel, or the adoption of technology standards which are different from technologies around which the Company’s business ultimately is built. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqCM: NTWK) (NasdaqDubai: NTWK) is a worldwide provider of IT and enterprise application solutions. NetSol Technologies, Inc. executes its mission of focusing technology on the operational needs of its clients. NetSol’s services and solutions enable businesses to streamline their operations and compete more effectively.
The Company is organized into two main revenue areas, consisting of enterprise solutions – NetSol Financial Suite (NFS™) – for the global financing, leasing and lending industry, and a portfolio of managed services, including customized application development, systems integration, and business process engineering. In addition, NetSol’s solutions portfolio includes the smartOCI®, e-Procurement search engine for SAP SRM users.
NetSol’s clients include Dow-Jones 30 Industrials and Fortune 500 manufacturers and financial institutions, global vehicle manufacturers, and enterprise technology providers, all of which are serviced by NetSol delivery locations across the globe.
Founded in 1997, NetSol is headquartered in Calabasas, California. While the Company follows a global strategy for sales and delivery of its portfolio of solutions and services, it continues to maintain regional offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, for North America; the London Metropolitan area for Europe; and Bangkok, Thailand, Beijing, China and Lahore, Pakistan for Asia Pacific. The Company continues to maintain services, solutions and/or sales specific offices in Australia, China, Pakistan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and through alliances in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Japan.
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 with competitive cost blended rates from its “center of excellence” delivery center in Pakistan and other global centers located in the USA, UK, Thailand and China, Our model also provides localized programs in key markets 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, providing value added solutions for Global Business Services™ through a win-win partnership, rather than the traditional outsourced vendor framework. Our global locations provide 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. Its service offerings include IT consulting and services; business intelligence, information security, independent system review, outsourcing services and software process improvement consulting; maintenance and support of existing systems; and, project management.
Page 20
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.
On October 24, NetSol announced the introduction and global release of NFS Ascent™, the company’s next generation platform, offering the most technologically advanced solution for the auto and equipment finance and leasing industry. NFS Ascent™’s architecture and user interfaces were designed based on the company’s collective experience with global Fortune 500 companies over the past 30 years. The platform’s framework allows auto captive and asset finance companies to rapidly transform legacy dependent information technology into a state-of-the-art IT and business process environment. At the core of the NFS Ascent™ platform is a lease accounting and contract processing engine, which allows for an array of interest calculation methods, as well as robust accounting of multi-billion dollar lease portfolios under various types of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as international financial reporting standards (IFRS). NFS Ascent™, with its distributed and clustered deployment across parallel application and high volume data servers, enables finance companies to process voluminous data in a hyper speed environment.
NFS Ascent™ has been developed using the latest tools and technologies and its n-tier SOA architecture allows the system to dramatically improve in various areas like scalability, performance, fault tolerance and security to name a few. We are excited about the transition from R1 to NFS Ascent™ for the following reasons:
·
|
Improvement in overall productivity throughout the delivery organization:
|
o
|
The new architecture and design of the system allows the delivery team to deliver more with less i.e. deliver more projects in a given financial year thereby increasing the revenue generation capacity of our organization.
|
o
|
The modules like Business Process Manager, Workflow Engine and Business Rule Engine will provide flexibility to our clients allowing them to configure certain parts of the application themselves rather than requesting for customization.
|
o
|
The powerful NFS Ascent™ platform and the SOA architecture allow us to develop Portals and Mobile applications rather quickly by utilizing our existing services. Integration with other systems will also be very easy and quick as we can expose our services to the external world for consumption.
|
o
|
The n-tier architecture allows us to better distribute the tasks among various team members and because of the lose coupling between various modules and layers, the risk of regression in other parts of the system as a result of changes made in one part of the system is reduced tremendously.
|
·
|
Improvement in talent acquisition and retention:
|
o
|
Because NFS Ascent™ has been developed using the latest technologies and tools available in the market, it is helping us in attracting the top engineers and keeping them motivated compared to when we had to hire people for older technologies.
|
·
|
Better customer satisfaction:
|
o
|
As a result of the powerful NFS Ascent™ platform and improvement in the talent acquisition and retention, the quality of our deliverables has increased.
|
Page 21
NFS™ 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 solutions 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.
NetSol’s IP, smartOCI®, now part of Vroozi®, Inc., develops innovative e-commerce solutions for all business sizes and industry verticals which help companies search, source, negotiate, and order goods and services from suppliers electronically optimizing organization’s procurement and supply chain operations. Vroozi’s business to business search engine, collaborative commerce, and electronic marketplace applications are deployed On Demand and can integrate seamlessly with major ERP vendor systems such as SAP or deployed independently on the Internet.
Vroozi’s first product to market is smartOCI® a new search engine technology and buy-side content marketplace provider which enables corporate buyers and shoppers a simple and intuitive user interface to search multiple supplier catalogs simultaneously within the SAP procurement application. The smartOCI® technology was officially released to the market in 2011 at the SAP SAPPHIRE Conference in Orlando, Florida, and has strengthened NetSol’s presence in the global SAP Services market.
NetSol global operation is broken down into three regions: North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. All of the subsidiaries are seamlessly integrated to function effectively in terms of global delivery capabilities, cross selling to multinational captives’ finance companies, centralized marketing organization and a network of employees connected across the globe to support local and global customers and partners.
The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol’s financial position and results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2013. It should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

|
·
|

|
The success of the Company, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on the Company's ability to: (a) continue to grow revenues and improve profits; (b) adequately capitalize for growth in various markets and verticals; (c) make progress in the North American markets and, (d) continue to streamline sales and marketing efforts in every market we operate. However, management's outlook for the continuing operations, which has been consolidated and has been streamlined, remains optimistic.

Marketing and Business Development Activities
Management has developed, and the board of directors has ratified, an aggressive 3-5 year growth strategy aimed at increasing competitiveness and financial strength.
A focus of the marketing plan centers around the Global Launch of NFS Ascent™, the next generation of NFS that the company has been developing for nearly four years. Announced on October 24, 2013, NetSol has commenced a soft, regional launch with selected customers in APAC to test the readiness for the global markets. A formal launch of the global marketing plan is expected for all of our key markets of North America, Europe and APAC.
This plan is designed to:
·
|
Achieve double digit revenue growth for the next 5 years
|
·
|
Achieve 50% to 55% gross margins in 2015 and maintain 60% or better for the next three years
|
·
|
Ramp up license revenues for NFS Ascent™
|
The plan contemplates the following enhanced activities and initiatives to accomplish these goals:
·
|
Grow delivery and sales capacity in APAC and the USA from approximately 600 NFS™ domain experts to over 1,000 within 18 months.
|
·
|
Continue to build the delivery capacity. NetSol has hired over 250 new personnel in the first half of 2014 so as to train and develop them to meet the long term growth outlook. This activity will continue until an optimum level of 1,000 NFS domain experts is achieved. Currently we have 670 employees dedicated solely to NFS Ascent™.
|
·
|
Continue to advance infrastructure and systems in Lahore and Bangkok.
|
·
|
Strengthen the NetSol brand in the Americas and penetration in APAC markets such as China, Europe, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and South Africa.
|
·
|
Hire and retain the best available talent to develop the next line of managers for our growing demand.
|
·
|
Develop the sales and delivery capabilities for the Americas markets, in particular the growth in the US auto and banking sectors. A shift in revenue contribution from the Americas market would improve both gross and net operating margins due to the volume and size of US contracts
|
·
|
Further position NetSol to deliver and support the new growth and technology dimensions in IT services, maintenance, mobile apps and cloud based solutions.
|
Management continues to be focused on scaling up its delivery capability and has achieved key milestones in that respect. Key projects are being delivered on time and on budget, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal processes. 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. As required, NetSol was reassessed in 2010 and was successfully recertified as CMMI Level 5. While we believe this quality certification will be renewed, our current reassessment due for August 2013 is currently pending. 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.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL
Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.
Positive trends:
·
|
Improving sales trends in US auto and banking sectors.
|
·
|
Miliken Institute projects global economic growth in excess of 3% globally, 8% GDP growth for China, 2% GDP growth for the US over the next two years.
|
·
|
Much improved economic environment in the UK and major European economies.
|
·
|
New emerging markets and IT destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, and some African nations.
|
·
|
Global Launch of NetSol Ascent™.
|
·
|
Continued robustness of China’s automobile and banking sectors. China’s passenger vehicle sales rose 49% in December 2012, while China’s total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, are projected to accelerate this year and surpass 20 million for the first time according to Bloomberg News, February 7, 2013.
|
·
|
Growing interest in Japan for IT services and NFS™ applications within banking, equipment finance and general leasing industries.
|
·
|
The dependency of our blue chip clients on NetSol solutions has further deepened; creating new enhancements, new modules, and services orders in the US.
|
Negative trends:
·
|
Geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and in regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
|
·
|
Continued strains in US-Pakistan relations despite efforts of newly elected government, security issues continue in Pakistan, causing concern for western customers, investors and media.
|
·
|
The delays of CBRC licenses at least for another year in China.
|
·
|
Emergence of smaller players offering IT solutions in China resulting in greater price competition.
|
·
|
Tightened liquidity and credit restrictions in consumer spending has either delayed or reduced spending on business solutions and systems, squeezing IT budgets and extending decision making cycles.
|
·
|
The threats of conflict between the US and other nations and Syria could potentially create volatility in oil prices causing readjustments of corporate budgets and consumer spending slowing global auto sales.
|
·
|
Continued conflicts in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional challenges
|
·
|
Our relatively low trading share volume makes the Company’s stock price susceptible to market fluctuations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition and multiple element arrangements, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.
REVENUE RECOGNTION
The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method.
Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.
MULTIPLE ELEMENT ARRANGEMENTS
We may enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a number of different combinations of software licenses, consulting services, maintenance and support, as well as training and development (multiple element arrangements).
VSOE of fair value for each element is based on the price for which the element is sold separately. We determine the VSOE of fair value of each element based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When VSOE of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which such VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. The only exception to this guidance is when the only undelivered element is maintenance and support or other services, then, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs incurred to internally develop computer software products or to enhance an existing product are recorded as research and development costs and expensed when incurred 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 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.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Our stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and expected term. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model changes significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical experience and our expectations regarding future pre-vesting termination behavior of employees. To the extent our actual forfeiture rate is different from our estimate; stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.

Net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 were $8,708,002, as compared to $11,807,669 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. This reflects a decrease of $3,099,667, or 26.25% in the current quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Year over year, revenue from license income decreased by $3,050,231. The company has recently launched its next generation platform “NFS Ascent™” and some of the deals in pipeline for the legacy product have been delayed as the customers are now looking for the next generation. Revenue from the license sales of our legacy product “NetSol Financial SuiteTM as well as services associated with the new sales have been impacted in the current quarter. Management is expecting sales of the legacy product to remain under pressure for at least two to three quarters until the time that we begin recognizing revenues for NFS Ascent™. Services revenue, which also includes consulting and implementation, decreased to $5,385,191, as compared to $5,637,009 last year. Maintenance fees increased by $202,382, to $2,867,195 in the current quarter, as compared to $2,664,813 in the comparable period. The increase in maintenance fees is due to re-negotiation of rates with some of the customers.

The gross profit was $2,740,139, in the quarter ending December 31, 2013 as compared with $6,725,429 for the same quarter of the previous year. This is a decrease of 56.96% or $3,985,290. The gross profit percentage for the quarter also decreased to 31.47% from 56.96% in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 mainly due to reduction in total revenues. The cost of sales was $5,967,863 in the current quarter compared to $5,082,240 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2013. As a percentage of sales it increased from 43.04% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to 68.53% in the current quarter. Salaries and consultant fees increased by $331,433; from $2,916,378, in the prior comparable quarter, to $3,247,811. As a percentage of sales, it increased from 24.70% in the prior comparable quarter to 37.30% in the current quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $1,240,715 compared to $1,024,007 in the corresponding quarter last year or an increase of $216,708.
Operating expenses were $4,343,681 for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 as compared to $3,805,781, for the corresponding period last year or an increase of 14.13% or $537,900. As a percentage of sales, it increased from 32.23% to 49.88%. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $430,947 and $333,435 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $1,458,343 and $1,192,787 for the comparable periods, respectively. As a percentage of sales, these costs increased from 10.10% to 16.75%. The combined salaries and wages also include non-cash expense on exercise of options. General and administrative expenses were $1,546,266 and $1,348,349 for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $197,917 or 14.68%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 17.76% in the current quarter compared to 11.42% in the comparable quarter.
Selling and marketing expenses were $908,125 and $931,210, in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We are marketing our products in different geographies of the world and have hired more professional resources for business development. Also the aggressive marketing of smartOCI® and other Vroozi® products in North America and Europe has increased the sales and marketing expenses.
Loss from operations was $1,603,542, compared to income of $2,919,648, for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This represents a decrease of $4,523,190 for the quarter compared with the comparable period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, net loss from operations was 18.41% in the current quarter compared to income of 24.73% in the prior period.
Net loss was $1,626,908, compared to income of $2,222,983, for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This is a decrease of $3,849,891 compared to the prior year. Included in this loss is foreign currency exchange gain of $96,039 compared to $504,738 in the same reporting period last year, mainly due to appreciation of the USD, Euro and Pound in the prior period against the Pakistan Rupee. Also included in the net loss is the share of net loss of $175,840 from an associated company as compared to net income of $484,487 in the corresponding period. The current fiscal quarter amount includes a net addition of $313,905, compared to net reduction of $1,465,500 in the prior period, for the 49.9% non-controlling interest in NetSol Innovation owned by other parties, the 36.17% non-controlling interest in NetSol PK, 49% non-controlling interest in VLS and 9.09% non-controlling interest in Vroozi®. Interest expense was $45,036 in the current quarter as compared to $179,932 in the comparable period. The reduction in interest expense is due to conversion of all the convertible notes into equity. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.18 as compared to net income $0.28 for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The net EBITDA income was $79,129 compared to $3,726,192 for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, after amortization and depreciation charges of $1,671,662 and $1,357,442, income taxes of $29,270 and $(2,548), interest expense of $45,036 and $179,932, and interest income of $39,931 and $31,617 respectively. The EBITDA earning per share, basic and diluted was $0.01 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $0.47 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. As a percentage of revenues, EBITDA was 1.46% compared to 31.56% for the quarters ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 our historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results.

Net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2013 were $17,765,138, as compared to $22,879,569 for the six months ended December 31, 2012. This reflects a decrease of $5,114,431, or 22.35% in the current six months as compared to the corresponding six months last year. Year over year, revenue from license income decreased by $4,039,165. The company has recently launched its next generation platform “NFS Ascent™” and some of the deals in pipeline for the legacy product have been delayed as the customers are now looking for the next generation. Revenue from the license sales of our legacy product “NetSol Financial SuiteTM as well as services associated with the new sales have been impacted in the current quarter. Management is expecting sales of the legacy product to remain under pressure for at least two to three quarters until the time that we begin recognizing revenues for NFS Ascent™. Services revenue, which also includes consulting and implementation, decreased to $9,809,351, as compared to $11,421,702 last year. Maintenance fees increased by $537,085, to $5,247,604 in the current period, as compared to $4,710,519 in the comparable period.

As a percentage of sales, it increased from 27.43% in the prior comparable period to 37.42% in the current period. The increase in salaries is due to hiring of new technical employees at key locations including Pakistan, Thailand, China and North America. Depreciation and amortization expense also increased to $2,287,384 compared to $1,982,158 in the corresponding half year or an increase of $305,226. The Company has certain intangible assets under development and as soon as an asset is ready for market, its amortization is started, hence this increase.
Operating expenses were $9,264,180 for the six months ending December 31, 2013 as compared to $7,619,048, for the corresponding period last year or an increase of 21.59% or $1,645,132.

Interest expense was $114,253 in the current six months as compared to $472,321 in the comparable period. The reduction in interest expense is due to conversion of all the convertible notes into equity. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, was $0.30 as compared to income per share basic $0.41 and diluted $0.40 for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The net EBITDA income was $502,794 compared to $6,237,687 for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, after amortization and depreciation charges of $3,144,948 and $2,657,594, income taxes of $40,401 and $11,448, interest expense of $114,253 and $472,321 and interest income of $72,785 and $55,784 respectively.

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.

In the current fiscal period, we had net payments on account of bank loans and capital leases of $781,756 as compared to $723,936 in the comparable period last year. We are operating in various geographical regions of the world through its various subsidiaries. Those subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their short and long term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates the detail of which is given in Note No. 13 of the annexed financial statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, whatsoever, which may lead to early payment of these obligations. We anticipate paying back all these obligations on their respective due dates from its own sources.
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 $2.5 to $3.5 million for US, Europe 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 us, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market uncertainties. However, we are very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.
Financial Covenants
Our UK based subsidiary, NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (NTE) has an approved overdraft facility of £200,000 which requires that the aggregate amount of invoiced trade debtors (net of provisions for bad and doubtful debts and excluding intra-group debtors) of NTE, not exceeding 90 days old, will not be less than an amount equal to 200% of the facility. NTE had been granted another credit facility of £1,000,000 for the acquisition VLS. This facility requires that NTE’s adjusted tangible net worth would not be less than £600,000. For this purpose, adjusted tangible net worth means shareholders’ funds less intangible assets plus non-redeemable preference shares. In addition, NTE’s cash debt service coverage would not fall below 150% of the aggregate debt service cost. The Pakistani subsidiary, NetSol Technologies Limited (NTPK) has an approved facility for both export refinance and term finance from Askari Bank Limited amounting to Rupees 312.5 million ($3,097,126) which requires NTPK to maintain a long term debt equity ratio of 60:40 and the current ratio of 1:1.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has the responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our external financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Due to inherent limitations of any internal control system, management acknowledges that there are limitations as to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and therefore recognize that only reasonable assurance can be gained from any internal control system. Accordingly, our internal control system may not detect or prevent material misstatements in our financial statements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. This assessment was based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of our assessment, the Company has determined that as of December 31, 2013, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, while in the performance of this assessment, management identified that some of its accounting staff does not have necessary technical accounting training relating to accounting for complex U.S. GAAP matters. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding the existence of such material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
On September 9, 2013, the Company appointed Roger Almond, C.P.A. to act as Chief Financial Officer of NetSol. Management believes that Mr. Almond’s appointment as CFO results in the requisite technical accounting knowledge and training relating to accounting for complex U.S. GAAP matters. Management believes that Mr. Almond’s appointment and oversight of the accounting staff will result in the removal of the material weakness in subsequent quarters.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f)).

Item 5. Other Information
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission notified the Company that it is conducting an investigation and requested the voluntary production of certain documents related to Salim Ghauri, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and an officer of the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary NetSol Technologies, Ltd., and the Company’s policies covering reporting obligations and disclosure of securities holdings under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company promptly engaged outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the potential issues and to respond to the SEC. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s investigation. On February 13, 2014, Salim Ghauri authorized the filing of a Form 4 that sets forth certain previously unreported securities transactions by him in the Company’s stock during the period of May 10, 2011 to July 12, 2013, which had not been previously disclosed to the Company. Pursuant to a settlement agreement between the Company and Salim Ghauri dated February 12, 2014, he has paid to the Company the short swing profits recoverable under Section 16(b) of the Act in the amount of $33,197, which includes interest.
In connection with the investigation, we evaluated the filing requirements for all reporting persons. In that context, we determined that at various points in time prior to May 2013, Najeeb, Naeem and Salim Ghauri should have filed Schedules 13D as their beneficial holdings in the Company stock reached or exceeded 5%. While Schedules 13D were not filed, the percentages of their beneficial ownership were disclosed to the investing public as part of the Company’s timely-made Form 10-K and proxy statement filings. Currently, the beneficial ownership by each of them is below 5% so no Schedule 13D filing is currently required.
