NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking, healthcare, and financial services industries worldwide.  The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”), NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”), NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies, Ltd. (“NetSol PK”), NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (“Connect”), NetSol-Innovations (Pvt) Limited (“EI”), and NetSol Omni (Private) Limited (“Omni”).  All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.
 
NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (ASC 815). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 as amended (ASC 815); and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB Statement No. 161(ASC 815) achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161(ASC 815) to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
Page 7


In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163(ASC 944), “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

EITF Issue No. 07-5(ASC 815), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5) was issued in June 2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or features were indexed to an entity’s own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6(ASC 815), “The Meaning of “Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 01-6) (ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the first part of the paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also applicable to any freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an entity's own stock, regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF 00-19(ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards within the scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)). However, an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish a market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not within the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC 815).

The guidance is applicable to existing instruments and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently considering the effect of this EITF on financial statements for the year beginning July 1, 2009.

On January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01(ASC 325), “Amendment to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20(ASC 325), “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115(ASC 320), “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively.  Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE:
 
“Earnings per share” is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128)(ASC 260), “Earnings per share”.  Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

NOTE 5 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & FOREIGN CURRENCY:
 
SFAS 130(ASC 220) requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available for sale securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension liability, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders’ equity, to be included in other comprehensive income.  The accounts of NetSol UK and NTE use the British Pound; NetSol PK, Connect, Omni, and EI use Pakistan Rupees; and Abraxas uses the Australian dollar as the functional currencies.  NetSol Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary, NTNA, use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the period.  Accumulated translation losses are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet were $7,215,261 and $6,899,397 as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009 respectively.

NOTE 8 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
 
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill.  The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows.  Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.  Potential impairment of goodwill has been evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142(ASC 350).
 
As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86(ASC 985), “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established.  Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.  Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
 
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product.  If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.  Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.

NOTE 13 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On July 23, 2008, the Company entered into Convertible Notes with three investors with a total value of $6,000,000 (the “Convertible Notes”).  The Convertible Notes mature in 3 years and have an interest rate of 7% per annum that is payable semi-annually.  The note could be converted into common shares at a conversion rate of $3.00 per share.  The fair market value of the shares at the date of signing was $2.90; therefore, no beneficial conversion feature expense was recorded on the transaction.  No warrants were issued in connection with this note.  The Convertible Note contains full-ratchet anti-dilution protection.  However, despite this protection, at no time shall the Company issue shares as part of a conversion or other event contained in the Convertible Note where the resulting issuance would require issuance in violation of Nasdaq rules.

In January 2009, the Company entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver”) with holders of the Convertible Notes (the “Holders”) to modify the terms and conditions of the original note.  Under the Waiver, Holders waived their right to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection as to strategic investors only for a period of 18 months from the date of the Waiver and permanently waived participation in future financings in consideration of a new conversion rate of $0.78 per common share and four equal quarterly cash installment payments from the Company of $250,000 each, beginning on January 2009.  Since this was an extinguishment of the existing contract, the Company accounted for beneficial conversion feature of $230,769 which is being amortized over the remaining life of the contract.  As of the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the amount of beneficial conversion feature amortized was $63,582 and the unamortized portion was $167,187. The Company accrued $1,000,000 under the Waiver as loss on extinguishment of debt in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

The Convertible Notes entered into by and between the Company and the Holders includes certain conditions.  Specifically, the Convertible Notes do not permit interest to be paid in shares of common stock if, at the time the interest is due the Equity Conditions, as defined therein, are not met, or there has been an Event of Default.  In such instances, the Company must make cash interest payments.  So long as the principal is due, the Company may not, without prior approval of 75% of the Holders, incur indebtedness senior to the Holders.  A failure to follow this covenant would result in an Event of Default.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the Notes, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding Principal amount of this note and all other notes held by the Holder, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately.  In the event of such acceleration, the Notes held by the Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A) the highest closing price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio.  In either case, the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within 7 days of the Holder’s request.  The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.  Failure to comply with the terms of the Note, the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement may result in an Event of Default hereunder.  These notes carry anti-dilution clause and due to issuance of $2,000,000 notes at a conversion price of $0.63 in August 2009, the conversion price of these notes was also adjusted downwards to $0.63 resulting in arising of an additional beneficial conversion feature of $715,518. As on September 30, 2009, total amount amortized for these notes was $75,086.

These five applications are complete systems in themselves and can be used independently to exhaustively address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.  NetSol recently added LeaseSoft Fleet Management System (FMS) and a Point of Sale (POS) system.  The Company is expanding NFS™ from an asset based solution to also include a comprehensive lending based solution.  Management believes this will open up a broader and more lucrative global market opportunity to the Company.
 
Beyond LeaseSoft, the NetSol Financial Suite™ also includes LeasePak.  LeasePak provides the leasing technology industry with the development of Web-enabled and Web-based tools to deliver superior customer service, reduce operating costs, streamline the lease management lifecycle, and support collaboration with origination channel and asset partners.  LeasePak can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users.  In terms of scalability, NetSol Technologies North America offers the basic product as well as a collection of highly specialized add on modules for systems, portfolios and accrual methods for virtually all sizes and complexities of operations. These solutions provide the equipment and vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors.

Our product offerings and services also include: LeaseSoft Portals and Modules through our European operations; LeasePak 6.0b of our NFS™ product suite; enterprise wide information systems, such as or LRMIS, MTMIS and Hospital Management Systems; Accounting Outsourcing Services, and, NetSol Technology Institute, our specialized career and technology program in Pakistan.

To further bolster NetSol’s Solutions capabilities, in October 2008, NetSol acquired Ciena Solutions, a preferred SAP and Business Objects integration firm. The Ciena Solutions practice is now integrated into our wholly owned subsidiary, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc.  This acquisition expanded NetSol’s domain and subject matter expertise to include integration and consulting services for:
 
·
SAP R/3 System deployments
 
·
NetWeaver
 
·
Exchange Infrastructure Portals
 
·
MySAP Business Suite
 
·
Supplier Relationship Management Module
 
·
Client Relationship Management Module
 
·
SAP/Business Objects Products and related Services

In additional to this expansion of SAP-centric integration consulting and services, this practice has developed proprietary intellectual property in the form of designs and source code focused on enhancing SAP-centric procurement activities.
 
The Company continues its efforts to both reduce redundancy and cohesively present services and product operations on a global basis. This consolidation enables the Company to coordinate and streamline product, service and marketing while taking further advantage of the cost arbitrage offered by our highly trained, highly productive, Pakistani resources.  This consolidation follows the successful integration of the operations acquired in the United Kingdom and the San Francisco Bay Area in California and facilitates the use of these regional offices as platforms for presenting an expanding services offering, relying on the experience and resources in Pakistan and our product offerings in North America and Europe.

While the Company is no longer divided into groups and regions, the Company will continue to maintain regional offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, California for North America and the parent headquarters in Calabasas, California; Horsham, United Kingdom, for Europe; and, our “center of excellence” operation in Lahore, Pakistan for Asia Pacific. The Company continues to maintain services or products and specific sales offices in China, Thailand and Pakistan and in any other country on an as needed basis.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Management undertook major steps to counter the deep effect of global recession, such as:
 
o
Reduced headcount by 140 employees in all three key locations in Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the US.  The Company’s total headcount is now approximately 720 people.

 
o
Senior management compensation, benefits and perquisites were reduced by an average of 20% across the Company.

 
o
Earlier in Fiscal year 2009, the senior management voluntarily forfeited approximately $400,000 of earned cash bonuses. In addition, senior officers agreed to the cancellation of option grants awarded by the Board in 2008 to further reduce expense.

 
o
In fiscal 2009, the Company restructured the corporate finance team at the headquarters by promoting Mr. Boo-Ali Siddiqui, CFO of NetSol Technologies, Ltd., Pakistan (5 year veteran with NetSol), to global CFO for NetSol Technologies, Inc. In addition, the parent company added an experienced controller to support the newly appointed CFO, while each subsidiary now has a stronger accounting staff in place.

 
o
In 2009, to enhance productivity and cost efficiencies, the concept of Global Delivery Model has been implemented.   Without moving the source codes of US products or UK products to Lahore, Pakistan, we have integrated the local developers / engineers / programming resources with PK technology group teams. This model would eventually create much stronger band width for customers worldwide but also have the same interfacing local management available for regional clients. In essence, the concept of BestShoring® model is effectively being executed.

 
o
The global delivery model would further streamline the cost base as well as optimum utilization of NetSol Center of Excellence, CMMi Level 5 technology campus and translate into better and more competitive pricing modules for our customers.

 
o
Revamped sales organization from several departments into one group. The newly created global sales organization under one president of global sales, centrally headquartered in the UK, provides much improved visibility and traction in all key markets worldwide. In addition to achieving critical mass and visibility, regional sales heads have been created to directly report to President Group Sales.

 
o
In wake of the severe recession, the global operating headquarters in Emeryville, California has been moved to a smaller, more appropriate space.  Management continues to work to negotiate with the former landlord to settle the early termination of the long term lease.  A move to new office space in, beginning in November 2009, will save substantial rent expense. The Company believes that upon reaching a form of settlement with the landlord of the Emeryville location, we will be able to realize further cost rationalization on the long term basis.

 
o
The Company appointed Mr. Imran Haider as the new Chief Operating Officer for NTNA replacing the outgoing Mitch Van Wye. The new COO brings broad experience and extensive product knowledge as a 7 year veteran with the NetSol APAC region.

 
o
While some marketing and new project activities were slowed down due to the poor economy, the Company’s new product research and development activities have increased. Management’s vision is that a one product, global solution, will place NetSol in the next level of critical mass solutions providers.

Business Development Activities:

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

 
·
NetSol has formed a joint venture with Grupo Karims, a major commercial business group in Latin America. The objective is to diversify and expand NetSol software programming and delivery capabilities in emerging economies of Latin America.

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

 
·
By expanding into the Americas, NetSol sees a strong opportunity to establish its brand recognition and create critical mass in the Americas.   Despite the recession and consolidations in the U.S., NetSol has embarked on an aggressive strategy to reposition and rebrand NetSol for the U.S markets. For example, NetSol is strategically rolling out offerings of the NetSol Financial Suite™ to our global auto manufacturers, whether captive or non-captive, in the North and South American markets.   NetSol sees a new market in Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica and many countries in Latin America as both mature and emerging markets are ripe for our flagship NFS™ applications. NetSol added two new global customers to the Americas in Nissan’s North America and Mexican operations.
     
 
·
NetSol’s recent successes in China is proof of managements anticipation of major growth in the Chinese market as China continues to have the strongest economic indicators amongst the major industrial countries. China is the third largest economic power and its auto and banking sectors are growing at a dynamic pace, unlike the western markets. The small presence of NetSol in Beijing, China has started to grow to nearly 20 staff with hiring of both local and multi-national personnel. Our current five multi-national customers in China have begun to expand their relationship with NetSol. We recently signed new deals with a multinational auto companies and with Minsheng Bank, one of the largest in China.   Management anticipates that the NFS™ products will demonstrate a noted break through with Chinese companies in coming months. While we are witnessing a surge for NFS™ the pipeline is growing very impressively with more than 9 major customers now.

NetSol has further expanded its footprint in South East Asia by growing its office and staff in the Bangkok office. Due to the growing demand of NFS™ in the region, the Company has initiated steps towards establishing a new entity in Thailand to specifically cater to these growing opportunities in Thailand and the region.

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

NetSol marketing activities will continue to:

 
·
Encourage organic revenue growth in the Chinese market in the automobile, banking, manufacturing and captive leasing sectors.
 
·
Expand the Beijing office with new local Chinese staff and senior business development and project management teams.
 
Page 26

 
 
·
Further penetrate the Asia Pacific markets by selling NetSol offerings in the key and robust markets of Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and, Japan.
 
·
Expand Thailand operations with the aim of making it a second hub, after China. A few senior business development teams have been mobilized and relocated in Thailand to support the new business development efforts in the APAC region.
 
·
While consolidating the development and sales teams, further build and expand in the North America market.  As the most mature and largest market for the Company’s solutions, North America will remain key to new revenue in the coming years.  NetSol’s existing product line including LeasePak and its modules will remain as a primary offering to support our existing customers.
 
·
NetSol SAP practice will enhance the revenue and add new customers for SAP consulting service, staffing & proprietary bolt-on software offerings.
 
·
Expand and support the new and innovative road map of more capable and robust solutions to the existing 30 plus US customers.
 
·
Expand marketing as selling efforts in Europe and Africa through local resellers, joint ventures and alliances.
 
·
Expand and win new customers in the Middle Eastern markets through a recently formed joint venture with Atheeb Group in the KSA. This will include sectors in leasing, banking, defense and public areas.
 
·
Optimize Lahore’s center of excellence in emerging and growing markets in Middle East.
 
·
Grow new revenues in public and defense sectors in Pakistan.
 
·
Expand and penetrate in e-government and automation in various sectors in Pakistan.
 
·
As the global economy is bouncing back, we will improve our accounts receivable collections and new revenues by signing new customers worldwide.

Investor Relations efforts will include:

 
·
Initiated series of investor relations campaigns by attending several investor conferences including Rodman & Renshaw’s annual conference in September 2009 and the Bourse Dubai Investment Conference in fall 2009.
 
·
Reaching out to new small cap funds, sell side analysts and institutions. Continue aggressively in various investors conferences to attract new institutional investors.
 
·
Injecting new capital into NTI by timely monetizing NetSol PK, while maintaining majority holding.
 
·
Seeking the participation of strategic value added business partners, such as joint venture partners, to invest in the Company and support their long term relationship with the Company.
 
·
Creating value propositions for strategic ownership by joint venture partners in the Middle East and China.

Improving the Bottom Line:

 
·
Further improve daily service and rate of delivery.
 
·
Carefully enhance pricing of NetSol solutions offerings worldwide.
 
·
Continue consolidation and reevaluating operating margins as an ongoing activity.
 
·
Streamline further cost of goods sold to improve gross margins to historical levels over 50%, as sales ramp up.
 
·
Generate higher revenues per employee, enhance productivity and lower cost per employee.
 
·
Consolidate subsidiaries and integrate and combine entities to reduce overheads and employ economies of scale.
 
·
Grow process automation and leverage the best practices of CMMi level 5. Global delivery concept and integration will further improve both gross and net margins.
 
·
Scale back a few marketing plans until the US economy begins to show a steady sign of recovery.
 
·
Cost efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation to improve bottom line.
 
·
Reduced General and Administrative expense and expenses of marketing programs.

Management continues to be focused on building its delivery capability and has achieved key milestones in that respect.  Key projects are being delivered on time and on budget and, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal processes.

In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, CMMi level companies are reassessed every three years by independent consultants under the standards of the Carnegie Mellon University to maintain its CMMi Level 5 quality certification.  NetSol will be reassessed beginning of 2010 to further improve its processes and internal procedures. We believe that the CMMi standards are a key reason in NetSol’s demand surge worldwide. We remain convinced that this trend will continue for all NetSol offerings promoting further beneficial alliances and increasing the number and quality of our global customers.  The quest for quality standards is imperative to NetSol’s overall sustainability and success.  In 2008, NetSol became ISO 27001 certified, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security Management.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

Positive trends:

 
·
The global recession and consolidations have opened doors for low cost solution providers such as NetSol. The BestShoring® model of NetSol is a catalyst in today’s environment.

 
·
The global economic pressures and recession has shifted IT processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions providers, to control the costs and improve ROIs.

 
·
China has become the third largest economy and has grown to over 8% GDP while other industrial nations have declined or grown marginally.

 
·
China’s automobile and banking sectors have been unaffected by the global meltdown and in fact have outgrown all other economies with their recent automobile sales statistics.
     
 
·
 
The surviving IT companies, such as NetSol, with price advantage and a global presence, will gain further momentum as economic indicators turn positive. The bigger customers and targeted verticals are much more cost conscious and are seeking a better rate of return on investments in IT services. NetSol has an edge due to its BestShoring® model and proven track record of delivery and implementations worldwide. 
 
 
·
NetSol survived the most challenging economic times in 2008-2009 because of its product demands and dependency of customers. The Company has never lost a product or a license customer.

 
·
There has been a noticeable new demand of leasing and financing solutions as a result of new buying habits and patterns in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central America.

 
·
The surge of joint ventures in emerging markets is growing and is beneficial for  both parties, representing strengths with core competencies without any overlap. Thus, mitigating the risk of starting fresh in untested territories with modest investments.
     
 
·
The aid and support of trade in Pakistan from countries like the US, China, Saudi Arabia and other western and friendly countries seems to be growing recently. This will positively affect NetSol, local employees and customers worldwide. Pakistan has every potential to rise up as the plans for energy, power, agriculture and infrastructures (including 12 new dams to be built by Chinese companies) creates a much better outlook and growth for Pakistan.

 
·
US AID and many other western agencies are diligently assisting the Pakistani people to improve literacy, education, poverty alleviation and healthcare programs. These initiatives should result in more graduates in science and technology areas.

 
·
Global opportunities to diversify delivery capabilities in new emerging economies that offer geopolitical stability and low cost IT resources reducing dependency upon Lahore technology campus.

 
·
NetSol has transformed into a true sense global IT company. In addition to Lahore Center of Excellence, there are three regional delivery and support centers to minimize the dependency on Lahore technology campus. Presently the locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. London and Beijing are well staffed and equipped to support the regional clients most effectively.
 
Page 28

 
 
·
Positive growth and resiliency indicators of domestic economy in Pakistan (a cash based economy) will lead to renewed optimism for growth in local public and private sectors.

 
·
Our global multi-national clients have continued to pursue deeper relationships in newer regions and countries. This reflects our customers’ dependencies and satisfaction with our NetSol Financial Suite of products.

 
·
The levy of Indian IT sector excise tax of 35% (NASSCOM) on software exports is very positive for NetSol. In Pakistan there is a 15 year tax holiday on IT exports of services. There are 7 more years remaining on this tax incentive.

Negative Trends/Risk Factors:

 
·
Dramatic and deep global recession has created a serious decline in business spending causing significant budget cuts for many of the Company’s target verticals.
 
 
 
 
·
Tightened liquidity and credit restrictions in consumer spending has either delayed or reduced spending on business solutions and systems squeezing IT budgets and elongating decision making cycles.

 
·
Corporate earnings losses and liquidity crunch causing delays in the receivables from few clients.

 
·
Challenged US auto sectors, banking and retail sectors, thus resulting in longer sales and closing cycles.

 
·
Anticipated worsening US deficit and rise in inflation in coming years would further put stress on consumers and business spending.

 
·
Unrest and growing war in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional challenges.

 
·
Pakistan’s struggle with militants and extremists creates uncertainty about the country’s stability.

CASH RESOURCES
 
We were successful in improving our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2009, with $4.4 million in cash worldwide. As of September 30, 2009, our cash position was $4 million worldwide.

Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $7,622,073 as compared to $9,300,967 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.   This reflects a decrease of $1,678,894 or 18% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  Revenue from services, which includes consulting and implementation, decreased from $5,177,425 to $3,262,764.  License revenues grew marginally by 1% over the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009. The decrease is attributable mostly to the impact of global recession and financial meltdown which the company is also facing.

Due to the revision in our pricing policy, NetSol Financial Suite (formerly known as LeaseSoft) license value in APAC is in the range of $1.0 to $1.5 million, without factoring in services maintenance and implementation fees.  Normally, NetSol negotiates 18-20% yearly maintenance contracts with customers.  A number of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications.  This places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies.

The Company does not anticipate plans to pursue new financing in the upcoming quarter.   We remain open to strategic relationships that would provide value added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving cash reserves internally and reduced reliance on external capital raise.
 
As a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long term business plans.  Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate needing working capital of $5.0 to $7.0 million for US, European and UAE, new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.

While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to the Company, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market declines.  However, the Company is very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.

PART II         OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Due to severe cuts in the Company’s Northern California subsidiary, NetSol Technologies North America, the Company determined it was in its best interests to terminate its contract for office space rental in that location.  Therefore, after much negotiation with the landlord, the landlord served a notice to pay or quit on NTNA whereby NTNA promptly returned the premises to the landlord.  NetSol has not been served with a lawsuit as of yet.

Consequently, because NTNA is not in need of such a large office space, it is currently renegotiating with two of its equipment lessors of furniture and equipment to return the furniture and equipment or repay the remaining debt.  As of this time, there have been no lawsuits filed in connection with these lease discussions.
