NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile financing and leasing, banking, and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides system integration, consulting, and 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. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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, 2023. 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 as follows:

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. The areas requiring significant estimates are provision for doubtful accounts, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating lease liabilities, and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance except balances maintained in China are insured for RMB 500,000 ($68,493) in each bank and in the UK for GBP 85,000 ($103,659) in each bank. The Company maintains three bank accounts in China and nine bank accounts in the UK. As of September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $15,197,882 and $13,524,518, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out globally. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments of each country and by the general state of the country’s economy. The Company’s operations in each foreign country are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in economically developed nations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt approximate their fair values based on current interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

 

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1: Valuations consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and has the highest priority.
   
Level 2: Valuations rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the asset or liability.
   
Level 3: Valuations are based on prices or third party or internal valuation models that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and are less observable and thus have the lowest priority.

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023, were as follows:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total Assets 
Revenues in excess of billings - long term  $   -   $   -   $724,875   $724,875 
Total  $   -   $   -   $724,875   $724,875 

 

The Company did not have any financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023.

 

The reconciliation from June 30, 2023 to September 30, 2023 is as follows:

 

   Revenues in excess of billings - long term   Fair value
discount
   Total 
Balance at June 30, 2023  $-   $-   $- 
Additions   827,853    (103,958)   723,895 
Amortization during the period   -    6,155    6,155 
Effect of Translation Adjustment   (4,875)   (300)   (5,175)
Balance at September 30, 2023  $822,978   $(98,103)  $724,875 

 

Management analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

 

Recent Accounting Standards:

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years, and was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2023. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. ASU 2023-05 provides decision-useful information to a joint venture’s investors and reduces diversity in practice by requiring that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, and early adoption is permitted.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The Company records the amount of revenue and related costs by considering whether the entity is a principal (gross presentation) or an agent (net presentation) by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. Revenue is presented net of sales, value-added and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.

 

The Company has two primary revenue streams: core revenue and non-core revenue.

 

Core Revenue

 

The Company generates its core revenue from the following sources: (1) software licenses, (2) services, which include implementation and consulting services, and (3) subscription and support, which includes post contract support, of its enterprise software solutions for the lease and finance industry. The Company offers its software using the same underlying technology via two models: a traditional on-premises licensing model and a subscription model. The on-premises model involves the sale or license of software on a perpetual basis to customers who take possession of the software and install and maintain the software on their own hardware. Under the subscription delivery model, the Company provides access to its software on a hosted basis as a service and customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software.

 

Non-Core Revenue

 

The Company generates its non-core revenue by providing business process outsourcing (“BPO”), other IT services and internet services.

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies and tracks the performance obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract.

 

The Company’s contracts which contain multiple performance obligations generally consist of the initial purchase of subscription or licenses and a professional services engagement. License purchases generally have multiple performance obligations as customers purchase post contract support and services in addition to the licenses. The Company’s single performance obligation arrangements are typically post contract support renewals, subscription renewals and services engagements.

 

For contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalone selling price (“SSP”) for any distinct good or service, the Company may be required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate for the SSP.

 

Software Licenses

 

Transfer of control for software is considered to have occurred upon delivery of the product to the customer. The Company’s typical payment terms tend to vary by region, but its standard payment terms are within 30 days of invoice.

Subscription

 

Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the initial subscription period committed to by the customer commencing when the product is made available to the customer. The initial subscription period is typically 12 to 60 months. The Company generally invoices its customers in advance in quarterly or annual installments and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.

 

Post Contract Support

 

Revenue from support services and product updates, referred to as subscription and support revenue, is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which in most instances is one year. Software license updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software product updates and patches released during the term of the support period on a when-and-if available basis. The Company’s customers purchase both product support and license updates when they acquire new software licenses. In addition, most customers renew their support services contracts annually and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.

 

Professional Services

 

Revenue from professional services is typically comprised of implementation, development, data migration, training, or other consulting services. Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and can include services ranging from software installation to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. The Company recognizes revenue for time-and-materials arrangements as the services are performed. In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services are performed as measured by costs incurred to date, compared to total estimated costs to complete the services project. Management applies judgment when estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete the services projects. A number of internal and external factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement changes. Services are generally invoiced upon milestones in the contract or upon consumption of the hourly resources and payments are typically due 30 days after invoice.

 

BPO and Internet Services

 

Revenue from BPO services is recognized based on the stage of completion which is measured by reference to labor hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated labor hours for each contract. Internet services are invoiced either monthly, quarterly, or half yearly in advance to the customers and revenue is recognized ratably overtime on a monthly basis.

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by category — core and non-core, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Significant Judgments

 

Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.

 

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company rarely licenses or sells products on a stand-alone basis, so the Company is required to estimate the range of SSPs for each performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable because the Company does not sell the license, product, or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. In making these judgments, the Company analyzes various factors, including its pricing methodology and consistency, size of the arrangement, length of term, customer demographics and overall market and economic conditions. Based on these results, the estimated SSP is set for each distinct product or service delivered to customers.

 

The most significant inputs involved in the Company’s revenue recognition policies are: The (1) stand-alone selling prices of the Company’s software license, and the (2) the method of recognizing revenue for installation/customization, and other services.

 

The stand-alone selling price of the licenses was measured primarily through an analysis of pricing that management evaluated when quoting prices to customers. Although the Company has no history of selling its software separately from post contract support and other services, the Company does have historical experience with amending contracts with customers to provide additional modules of its software or providing those modules at an optional price. This information guides the Company in assessing the stand-alone selling price of the Company’s software, since the Company can observe instances where a customer had a particular component of the Company’s software that was essentially priced separate from other goods and services that the Company delivered to that customer.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from implementation and customization services using the percentage of estimated “man-days” that the work requires. The Company believes the level of effort to complete the services is best measured by the amount of time (measured as an employee working for one day on implementation/customization work) that is required to complete the implementation or customization work. The Company reviews its estimate of man-days required to complete implementation and customization services each reporting period.

 

Revenue is recognized over time for the Company’s subscription, post contract support and fixed fee professional services that are separate performance obligations. For the Company’s professional services, revenue is recognized over time, generally using costs incurred or hours expended to measure progress. Judgment is required in estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete projects. A number of internal and external factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization, specification variances and testing requirement changes.

If a group of agreements are entered at or near the same time and so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single arrangement, such agreements are deemed to be combined as one arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. The Company exercises significant judgment to evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether agreements should be accounted for separately or as a single arrangement. The Company’s judgments about whether a group of contracts comprise a single arrangement can affect the allocation of consideration to the distinct performance obligations, which could have an effect on results of operations for the periods involved.

 

If a contract includes variable consideration, the Company exercises judgment in estimating the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer. When estimating variable consideration, the Company will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. Variable consideration will be estimated and included in the contract price only when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables, contract assets (revenues in excess of billings), or contract liabilities (unearned revenue) on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records revenues in excess of billings when the Company has transferred goods or services but does not yet have the right to consideration. The Company records unearned revenue when the Company has received or has the right to receive consideration but has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer.

 

The revenues in excess of billings are transferred to receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional, usually upon completion of a milestone.

 

The Company’s revenues in excess of billings and unearned revenue are as follows:

 

   As of   As of 
   September 30, 2023   June 30, 2023 
         
Revenues in excess of billings  $13,733,160   $12,377,677 
           
Unearned revenue  $5,170,335   $7,932,306 

 

The Company’s unearned revenue reconciliation is as follows:

 

   Unearned Revenue 
Balance at June 30, 2023  $7,932,306 
Invoiced   3,266,924 
Revenue Recognized   (5,876,193)
Adjustments   (152,702)
Balance at September 30, 2023  $5,170,335 

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $4,207,000 that was included in the unearned revenue balance at the beginning of the period. All other activity in unearned revenue is due to the timing of invoicing in relation to the timing of revenue recognition.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $29,053,000 as of September 30, 2023, of which the Company estimates to recognize approximately $15,757,000 in revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over an estimated 3 years thereafter. Actual revenue recognition depends in part on the timing of software modules installed at various customer sites. Accordingly, some factors that affect the Company’s revenue, such as the availability and demand for modules within customer geographic locations, is not entirely within the Company’s control. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements.

 

Unearned Revenue

 

The Company typically invoices its customers for subscription and support fees in advance on a quarterly or annual basis, with payment due at the start of the subscription or support term. Unpaid invoice amounts for non-cancelable license and services starting in future periods are included in accounts receivable and unearned revenue.

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. The Company has applied the following practical expedients:

 

  The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.
     
  The Company generally expenses sales commissions and sales agent fees when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less or the commissions are based on cashed received. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
     
  The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (applies to time-and-material engagements).

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

The Company does not have a material amount of costs to obtain a contract capitalized at any balance sheet date. In general, the Company incurs few direct incremental costs of obtaining new customer contracts. The Company rarely incurs incremental costs to review or otherwise enter into contractual arrangements with customers. In addition, the Company’s sales personnel receive fees that are referred to as commissions, but that are based on more than simply signing up new customers. The Company’s sales personnel are required to perform additional duties beyond new customer contract inception dates, including fulfillment duties and collections efforts.

NOTE 10 - LEASES

 

The Company leases certain office space, office equipment and autos with remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years under leases classified as financing and operating. For certain leases, the Company has options to extend the lease term for additional periods ranging from one year to 10 years.

 

The Company treats a contract as a lease when the contract conveys the right to use a physically distinct asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, or the Company directs the use of the asset and obtains substantially all the economic benefits of the asset. These leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligation liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the entirety of the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments over the life of the lease. A ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the life of the lease. Initial direct costs are included as part of the ROU asset upon commencement of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in a lease is generally not readily determinable for the operating leases, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term to obtain an asset of similar value.

 

The Company reviews the impairment of ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for the Company’s other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.

 

The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases (leases with original terms of 12 months or less) from ROU asset and lease liability accounts.

 

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Variable payments change due to facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time, and do not result in a re-measurement of lease liabilities. The Company’s variable lease payments include payments for finance leases that are adjusted based on a change in the Karachi Inter Bank Offer Rate. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

NOTE 17– INCOME TAXES

 

The current tax provision is based on taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing law for taxation of income. The charge for tax on income is calculated at the current rates of taxation as applicable after considering tax credit and tax rebates available, if any. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily because of more earnings realized in countries that have lower statutory tax rates. Our effective tax rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside the United States. Income from the export of computer software and its related services developed in Pakistan is exempt from tax through June 30, 2025; however, tax at the applicable rates is charged to the income from revenue generated from other than core business activities.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $121,895 and $193,348, respectively. The tax is derived from non-core business activities generated from NetSol PK.

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 for multi-billion-dollar lease portfolios in compliance with various regulatory standards. 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.

 

Our premier solution has been developed using the latest tools and technologies and its n-tier SOA architecture allows the system to greatly improve a myriad of areas including, but not limited to, scalability, performance, fault tolerance and security. NFS Ascent® empowers users with:

 

  Improvement in overall productivity within the delivery organization:

 

  The features of the integrated Business Process Manager, Workflow Engine, Business Rule Engine and Integration Hub provide flexibility to our clients allowing them to configure certain parts of the application themselves rather than requesting customization.
     
  The NFS Ascent® platform and the SOA architecture allow us to develop portals and mobile applications quickly by utilizing our existing services.
     
  The n-tier architecture allows us to intelligently distribute processing and eases application maintenance. The loose coupling between various modules and layers reduces the risk of regression in other parts of the system as a result of changes made in one part of the system and follows proven and accepted SOA principles.

 

  Amplified customer satisfaction:

 

  NFS Ascent® and NFS Digital empower not only the finance company and dealerships, but the end customer as well with self-service digital tools allowing a seamless customer experience throughout the customer journey from origination through contract maturity.

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

 

Positive trends:

 

  According to S&P Global Mobility, new vehicles sales globally are expected to reach 84 million units in 2023 for a 5.6% increase. U.S. sales volumes are expected to reach approximately 15 million units, an estimated increase of 8% from the projected 2022 levels.
     
  Reduction of the U.S. inflation rate over the last few months to approximately 3.7% in 2023.
     
  The U.S. market remains strong and resilient for NetSol to continue investing in building local teams for its core offerings.
     
  The Chinese car market is expected to maintain its position as the world’s largest and fastest growing, projecting 10% sales growth to 25.5 million units, with electric vehicles (EVs) representing nearly 35% of new sales. Government incentives, reduced car taxes, and preferential financing rates contributed to an 8.8% increase in Chinese auto sales in the first half of 2023, with total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, rising by 9.8% to 13.2 million.
     
  The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) investment, initiated by China, has exceeded $65 billion investment, from the originally planned $46 billion, in Pakistan energy and infrastructure sectors. Last June, China authorized a new $2.3 billion loan at a discounted rate to Pakistan as a short-term loan.
     
  The overall size of the mobility market in the Europe and the United States is projected to increase over $425 billion combined, by 2035 or a compound CAGR of 5% from 2022. (Deloitte Global Automotive Mobility Market Simulation Tool).
     
  The global automotive finance market accounted for $245 billion in 2022 and is expected to more than double by 2035 at a CAGR of 7.4% according to Precedence Research.

 

Negative trends:

 

  The conflict escalating in the Middle East region has disturbed the entire area, which could cause higher global inflation amid growing concerns over sharp rise in oil prices (Guardian, October 18, 2023).
     
  The European Union Real GDP growth is at 0.7% annual growth rate per the World Economic Report October, 2023.
     
  General economic conditions in our geographic markets; inflation, geopolitical tensions, including trade wars, tariffs and/or sanctions in geographic areas; and, global conflicts or disasters that impact the global economy or one or more sectors of the global economy.
     
  A global recession fear impacts the future expansions and budgets in every country and every sector. The World Bank forecasts that global growth will slow to 1.7% in 2023, down from 3% forecasted last June.
     
  Continued interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board in 2023 restricting buying power for consumers.
     
  Political, monetary, and economic challenges and higher inflation rate than other regional countries impacting Pakistan exports.
     
  Inflation and higher interest rates globally have greatly increased the cost of doing business, including salaries and benefits worldwide, affecting profitability.
     
  War and hostility between Russia and Ukraine continue to foster global uncertainty.
     
  The Russell 2000 index, a major benchmark for U.S. stocks, turned negative for the year in late September 2023. The index’s year-to-date performance is a loss of 0.2%.
     
  Working from the office might not return to pre-pandemic levels which may affect employee collaboration potentially lessening efficiency.
     
  The Pakistan political and economic environment will likely remain unsteady until new elections are called.
     
  Continued tensions between the U.S. and China are causing some American companies to pull out of China and move their supply chain elsewhere. (Business Insider, Aug. 28, 2023).

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 15 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

Other costs decreased to $1,068,671 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,320,993 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 or a decrease of $252,322 and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $45,984.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $5,811,388 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $6,148,188, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for a decrease of $336,800 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $284,862. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from 48.4% to 40.8%. The increase in operating expenses on a constant currency basis was primarily due to increases in selling and marketing expenses, salaries and wages, professional services, and provision for doubtful debts, offset by a decrease in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Selling expenses were $1,708,865 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,762,177, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for a decrease of $53,312 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $155,473.

General and administrative expenses were $3,586,301 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3,725,430 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 or a decrease of $139,129 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $161,886. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, salaries increased by approximately $79,101 and increased $284,266 on a constant currency basis, and other general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $218,230 or decreased by $122,380 on a constant currency basis.

 

Research and development cost was $378,419 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $469,627, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for a decrease of $91,208 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $5,279.

 

Income/Loss from Operations

 

Income from operations was $350,629 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $1,896,191 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This represents an increase in income of $2,246,820 with an increase in income of $125,444 on a constant currency basis for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of sales, income from operations was 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to loss of 14.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Other income was $62,329 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,651,568 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This represents a decrease of $1,589,239 with a decrease of $1,570,221 on a constant currency basis. The decrease is primarily due to the foreign currency exchange transactions. The majority of the contracts with NetSol PK are either in U.S. dollars or Euros; therefore, the currency fluctuations will lead to foreign currency exchange gains or losses depending on the value of the PKR compared to the U.S. dollar and the Euro. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a loss of $134,253 in foreign currency exchange transactions compared to gain of $1,315,705 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the value of the U.S. dollar increased 0.2% and the Euro decreased 2.6%, compared to the PKR. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 11.0% and 4.11%, respectively, compared to the PKR.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $260,173, compared to $182,758 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in non-controlling interest is primarily due to the increase in net income of NetSol PK.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to NetSol

 

The net income was $30,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $620,729 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This is an increase in income of $651,619 with an increase in loss of $835,295 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income per share was $0.003 for basic and diluted shares compared to net loss per share of $0.06 for basic and diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Regulation S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Commission Filings,” defines and prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share meet the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

We define the non-GAAP measures as follows:

 

  EBITDA is GAAP net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense.
  Adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share – Adjusted EBITDA allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average shares outstanding and diluted shares outstanding.

 

We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believe that presenting non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring our performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure in evaluating the Company.

 

The non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

 

EBITDA: We report EBITDA as a non-GAAP metric by excluding the effect of net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization from net income or loss because doing so makes internal comparisons to our historical operating results more consistent. In addition, we believe providing an EBITDA calculation is a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Stock-based compensation expense: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share calculations. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense which generally requires cash settlement by NetSol, and therefore is not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. We also believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Non-controlling interest: We add back the non-controlling interest in calculating gross adjusted EBITDA and then subtract out the income taxes, depreciation and amortization and net interest expense attributable to the non-controlling interest to arrive at a net adjusted EBITDA.

Our reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share to the most comparable GAAP measures for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our cash position was $16,551,677 at September 30, 2023, compared to $15,533,254 at June 30, 2023.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,663,619 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,298,857 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2023, we had current assets of $38,675,408 and current liabilities of $18,268,130. We had accounts receivable of $6,870,956 at September 30, 2023 compared to $11,714,422 at June 30, 2023. We had revenues in excess of billings of $13,733,160 at September 30, 2023 compared to $12,377,677 at June 30, 2023 of which $724,875 and $nil is shown as long term as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The long-term portion was discounted by $98,103 and $nil at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, using the discounted cash flow method with an interest rate of 7.24%. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our revenues in excess of billings were reclassified to accounts receivable pursuant to billing requirements detailed in each contract. The combined totals for accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings decreased by $3,487,983 from $24,092,099 at June 30, 2023 to $20,604,116 at September 30, 2023. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $6,802,879 and $5,756,553, respectively at September 30, 2023. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $6,552,181 and $5,779,510, respectively, at June 30, 2023.

 

The average days sales outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 144 and 165 days, respectively, for each period. The days sales outstanding have been calculated by taking into consideration the average combined balances of accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $370,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $893,994 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We had purchases of property and equipment of $371,630 compared to $1,347,601 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $44,474 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $445,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had net payments for bank loans and finance leases of $44,474 compared to $445,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We are operating in various geographical regions of the world through our 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 as described in Note 13 of the financial statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, 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 typically fund the cash requirements for our operations in the U.S. through our license, services, and subscription and support agreements, intercompany charges for corporate services, and through the exercise of options and warrants. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $16.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $15.2 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $15.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $13.5 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries.

 

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 $2.5 million for APAC, U.S. and Europe new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements, which we expect to provide from current operations.
