Our Services

Global Business Services ("GBS")

Netsol's GBS include IT consulting & services; business intelligence, independent system review (ISR); information security, outsourcing services and software process improvement consulting; maintenance and support of existing systems; and project management.

As part of the Company’s GBS strategy, each subsidiary adheres to the BestShoring® provides BestSolutions™ model.  Each subsidiary expounds on that model by providing IT Consulting services unique to their client base.  The development of solutions for clients has resulted in the development of vertical offerings catering to various industries and accordingly, diversifying NetSol’s offerings.

Business Intelligence (BI) solution providers must have both the capability to service BI customers using its own resources but also service the customers’ international affiliates.  Typical BI projects run into several years of phased implementation and rely on expensive international resources with a very restricted and limited accessibility.    Our strategy is simple; we identify the business needs of our potential customer and involve our industry domain experts directly with business managers at the client side.  This results in ownership of the project with the business group rather than the IT group which is involved in the overall initiative only from a support and facilitation standpoint.

Independent System Review (ISR) delivers high quality independent review of software systems running, or under deployment, at client sites. NetSol leverages its rich quality assurance experience in customization and implementation, as well as application development in finance and other domains.  It employs a range of automated quality assurance tools in providing independent assurance to customers regarding the reliability and performance of their new software systems.  The actual testing may be performed both onsite and offsite for the clients.

Our Products

NetSol Financial Suite™

The Company develops advanced software systems for the lease and finance industries. Like our 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”)™, 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 Company’s over eight years of effort has resulted in over 60 modules grouped in five comprehensive applications.  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. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
 
The constituent software applications are:
 
·           Point of Sale (POS).  POS is a front office processing system for companies in the financial sector.  It provides a quotation system which also incorporates a simulation for all kinds of financial products using a built-in loan calculator.   POS includes a proposal module which gathers all the required information from the customer in order to create finance or leasing contracts.  POS boasts a document management module which manages all the documents required in making the contract, such as bank statements and identity information.  POS incorporates a workflow engine that ensures smooth transition of tasks and streamlines the processes. It can work as an independent web-based system for all types of financial institutions including, but not limited to banks and finance companies.

·           Credit Application Processing System (CAP). CAP provides companies in the financial sector an environment to handle the incoming credit applications from dealers, agents, brokers and the direct sales force. LeaseSoft. CAP automatically gathers information from different interfaces like credit rating agencies, evaluation guides, and contract management systems and scores the applications against defined scorecards. This automated workflow permits the credit team members to make their decisions more quickly and accurately. Implementation of CAP dramatically reduces application-processing time in turn resulting in greater revenue through higher number of applications finalized in a given time. CAP reduces the probability of a wrong decision thus, again, providing a concrete business value through minimizing the bad debt portfolio. CAP is a database independent online system developed in Microsoft's .Net framework. It can be run from any PC with normal specifications, which is a key benefit for clients.
 
·           Contract Management System (CMS).  CMS provides comprehensive business functionality that enables its users to effectively and smoothly manage and maintain a contract with the most comprehensive details throughout its life cycle. It provides interfaces with company banks and accounting systems. CMS effectively maintains details of all business partners that do business with the company including, but not limited to, customers, dealers, debtors, guarantors, insurance companies and banks. Developed with the input of a number of leasing consultants, this product represents a complete lease and finance product. NetSol’s CMS provides business functionality for all areas that are required to run an effective, efficient and customer oriented lease and finance business.
 
·           Wholesale Finance System (WFS).  WFS automates and manages the floor plan/bailment activities of dealerships through a finance company. The design of the system is based on the concept of one asset/one loan to facilitate asset tracking and costing. The system covers credit limit, payment of loan, billing and settlement, stock auditing, online dealer and auditor access, and ultimately the pay-off functions.  A separate online add-on module, Dealer & Auditor Access System (DAS), allows dealers to view their outstanding limits and current asset-wise balances through an interface with the finance company.  WFS consists of the following four modules:  Credit Request Management Module (CRM); Loan Management Module (LMS); Stock Auditing Module (SAS); and Billing & Settlement Module (B&S).
 
·           Fleet Management System (FMS).  FMS is designed to efficiently handle all fleet management needs.  FMS is easily integrated with CMS and WFS as well as with any third party contract management system to ensure a single comprehensive system.  FMS’ key features include: a detailed tracking information on every driver and vehicle; customizable reports; periodic reporting on fleet related aspects; internet based access to information; integration with third party software; and, linkage to GPS for real time tracking.

Implementation Process

Implementation is a process which starts after the delivery of license to the customer. NetSol signs separate agreements for services, if required by the customers, which is independent of the license agreement. The implementation process can span from three to six months. NetSol’s software is a pre-developed solution for the leasing and finance industry. Customers with in-house abilities tend to take care of the implementation with their internal resources. The implementation process includes related software services such as configuration, data migration and any other additional third party interfaces. After the delivery of the license, customers seek enhancements and additions to improve their business processes. NetSol charges these efforts in man-day rate. If required, the services also involve migration of data from client’s older system to the NFS™ database. NFS™ provides mission critical software solutions, and the entire business operations of our clients hinge on successful performance of the system. Hence in the early days after going live, NetSol consultants remain at the client site to assist the company in smooth operations. After this phase, the regular maintenance and support services phase for the implemented software begins. In addition to the daily rate paid by the customer for each consultant, the customer also pays for all the transportation related expenses, boarding of the consultants, and a living allowance. NetSol’s involvement in all of the above steps is priced to bring value to our customers and increase our profitability from our interactions.

Pricing and Revenue Streams

The Company’s NFS™ revenue streams occur through the following three main areas:  product licensing, implementation related services, and maintenance and support related services.  License fees can vary generally between $100,000 for SaaS minimal modules to over $2,000,000 for more robust multiple module implementations.  There are various attributes which determine the level of complexity, a few of which are: number of contracts; size of the portfolio; business strategy of the customer; number of business users; and branch network of the customer. 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.  However, revenue from sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percent of completion basis.  Implementation related services, including configuration, data migration and third party interfaces are recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method.  Maintenance and support related services are then provided on a continued basis.  Revenue from software services includes fixed price contracts and is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method using the output measure of “Unit of Work Completed.”  The annual maintenance fee, which usually is an agreed upon percentage of overall monetary value of the license, then becomes an ongoing revenue stream realized on yearly basis.

Growth Prospects for NFS™

Growth prospects for NFS™ are linked to the maturing of the product portfolio and its growing customer base across different geographic and product markets. With a next generation solution ready for testing at customer sites, NetSol is eyeing key international markets for growth in sales. Its sales strategy now carefully balances expansion into new geographic markets, including North and South Americas, and further penetration of our already leading position in Asia Pacific.

Growth in North America is expected to come from the huge potential market for replacement of legacy systems. The next generation version of NFS™ is aimed at providing a highly flexible solution based on latest technology and advanced architecture for the North American customers looking to replace their legacy systems.

On the other hand, growth in NetSol’s traditionally strong base in Asia Pacific is expected through diversification across market segments, to include new customers in related banking and commercial lending areas. At the same time, the existing customer base is tapped for increased service and maintenance revenues by offering enhanced features and new solutions to emerging customer needs.

NetSol has been working for nearly two years to build its name in the Japanese market for our core business. The recently announced alliance with Abeam Consulting, a major consulting group in Japan, signifies our growth positioning in a very rich and mature market. The captive auto finance and banking sectors offer hosts of new opportunities for NetSol’s ‘niche’ product line in the large Japanese market.

In China, NetSol is the de facto leader in the leasing and finance enterprise solution domain.  With this position, NetSol continues to enjoy demand for the current NFS™ solution, as well as the next generation. NetSol will continue strengthening its position within existing multinational auto manufacturers, as well as, local Chinese

captive finance and leasing companies.
 
In Thailand, NetSol has established an alternate delivery center in Bangkok. The first successful implementation of NFS™ from NetSol Thai in Bangkok was carried out for Mercedes Benz Finance in India. Our operation in Bangkok serves a very robust and growing market for leasing companies and regional banks. NetSol shall continue its strategic growth vision in Thailand; as we enhance our delivery and sales infrastructure.

NetSol’s growth strategy through joint ventures and partnerships will provide an important thrust to the overall Company growth strategy. Our joint venture with Atheeb Holdings in Saudi Arabia was formed to establish NetSol as an IT partner with a major business group there. The scope of IT business for NetSol is not limited to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but also offers tremendous new opportunities in the Gulf Cooperation Council nations in the Middle East. Atheeb NetSol Saudi Company Ltd., is a fully operational business unit based in Atheeb Group’s headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With a team of nearly 10 employees, this entity is very active in branding NetSol in the region.

Besides the growth in revenues expected through its next generation solution, NetSol expects to continue selling its current version to businesses looking for a mature and globally tested solution. Future growth will therefore involve increased revenues from both the current version and the next generation of NFS™.

LeasePak
 
While the new generation of NFS™ is designed to be a truly global solution ready for customization in any market, the Company has historically provided products tailored to the various markets.  In North America, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”) has and continues to develop the LeasePak Productivity modules as an additional companion set of products to operate in conjunction with the LeasePak base system licensed software.  LeasePak handles every aspect of the lease or loan lifecycle, including credit application origination, credit adjudication, pricing, documentation, booking, payments, customer service, collections, midterm adjustments, and end-of-term options and asset disposition.
 
LeasePak’s tracking modules manage critical stages of the lifecycle, allowing users to process work using fully customizable task queues. LeasePak also includes an extensive collection of reports including origination and portfolio management, accounting, and asset financial management reports.
 
Additionally, NTNA offers LeasePak users a comprehensive toolkit of application interfaces to streamline portfolio management system with best-of-breed, third-party tools and enterprise applications. Designed to work with web services as well as with the client-server architecture, Link IT streamlines application integration and reduces version-maintenance overhead.  The integrated document generation for LeasePak, Doc IT, auto-generates the letters and documents required to book and finalize a deal. Using private-label customer templates, Doc IT generates letters and documents, delivers them, and archives them for instant access throughout the life of the contract, asset, and customer relationship.
 
This complete and integrated toolset enables the LeasePak user to leverage the power of the system to streamline originations, integrate the dealer/vendor network, automate documentation, enhance customer service, manage risk, and control infrastructure overhead.
 
During 2011, the NTNA development team released LeasePak version upgrade 6.4. This set of technical and functional enhancements was successfully released for general availability and have gone into daily use by the company’s various clients. With the release of versions 6.4, LeasePak users have new options in wide array of business functions. The new modules and major improvements in functionality are listed below:
 
·  
Batch General Ledger Adjustment (New Module) - Allows the user to submit a batch file to process General Ledger Adjustment transactions to balance adjustments for General Ledger accounts. Module provides an option to preload a batch file and also checks for the existing records before preloading. This enhances automation and delivers productivity gains.
 
·  
Batch Asset Sales (New Module) - Provides an option to preload a batch file to process batch sale of asset transactions. It also checks for the existing records before preloading batch file and provides an option to delete the existing records if the records are not required. The module processes these records from LeasePak RBA table and creates both an exception and audit report once processing of records is completed.  Module processes a batch file to reverse the sale of assets from inventory.
 
·  
Security Roles Module (New Module) - Allows the user to create and maintain user Roles where a single role can be assigned to a number of individuals. This update allows the user to specify an assigned role for any individual security record.  This update modifies user security records assigned to a role when a change is made to the Role by updating only the values that were changed on Role. Provides extensive time saving to system administrator.

·  
Pool ID (New Module) - Allows the user to group a lease in one more general ledger pools. This grouping allows the general ledger transaction reporting to occur by pool instead of by PCRO. This enhancement also enhances the functionality of LeasePak to add all the matching transactions for GL Pool accounts to their corresponding appropriate pool IDs. Changes to the pool ID will appear on the Non-Monetary Archive Report. Batch updates of pool IDs on booked leases can take place through a Web Service API update.
 
·  
Enhanced IDC/IDR (New Module) - Separates the Enhanced IDC/IDR functionality from the LeasePak Vehicle Module into a separate module.  The IDC/IDR fees entered will be tracked during the life of the lease, as well as provide an Amortization Schedule based on the accrual methods used when the lease was booked.
 
LeasePak-SaaS
 
LeasePak Software-As-A-Service offers a new deployment option whereby customers just need public internet and web browser to use the software. Customers pay for the use of the system through a monthly subscription fee. The LeasePak-SaaS targets small and mid-sized leasing and finance companies. The product dramatically reduces the customer’s IT spend by minimizing the cost of acquiring and maintaining expensive IT infrastructure and related administrative staff.
 
NFS™ - WFS
 
NFS™ - WFS enables finance companies and dealers to manage Floor plan Financing. This software has been doing very well in the Asia Pacific region and is the market leader in the Floor plan financing space in The People’s Republic of China. In 2009-2010, NetSol successfully launched NFS-WFS software in North America. Its first implementation went live at Nissan Renault Finance Mexico in November 2009. As part of the project, and after being put in production, NetSol also enhanced the software in many areas to address North American requirements. With the first NFS-WFS site up and successfully running, NetSol will be eagerly marketing and selling this new offering in North and South America.

For this purpose, the Company is looking forward to establishing a network of partners worldwide. These companies will represent NetSol in their respective countries and will develop business for NetSol. Keeping these strategic objectives in view, NetSol has entered into a mutually non-exclusive agreement with Singapore Computer Systems (“SCS”) that allows SCS to market LeaseSoft in the entire Asia Pacific region.

In Japan, NetSol has partnered with a leading systems integrator in the Japanese asset finance and leasing industry to grow its business in Japan’s lending market. The partnership will facilitate NetSol’s product offerings and consulting services to clients operating in Japan, while also enabling Japanese lending companies to expand their business operations to other, high growth Asia Pacific markets. The relationship will enable NetSol and its partner to mutually leverage their respective strengths in the asset finance and leasing space with NetSol’s multi-country experience and the partner’s rich Japanese market expertise.

The Company remains willing to explore mergers and acquisition opportunities with a focus on strategic acquisitions that provide immediate, strong, bottom line benefits.  Management believes that an ideal target will fulfill one or many of these criteria:  geographic synergy/providing a foot print in a market; unique and/or complimentary product lines; provide additional, and cost effective development hubs, or complimentary or target customers in a previously untapped market.  While there is no guaranty that an acquisition which appears to be sound will ultimately benefit the Company, management continues to analyze the price, value and market of any potential target.  The model of targeting well established, profitable product companies, within NetSol’s domain, management believes, has proven successful with our recent acquisitions.  Management believes this model can be replicated over the next three years.

This support center is powered by highly qualified technical and business personnel. ASC NFS in conjunction with our Asia Pacific Region are supporting DFS companies in seven different countries in Asia and this list can increase as other DFS companies from other countries may also opt for NFS.  In July 2008, the Company entered into a Frame Agreement with Daimler Financial Services AG (“DFS”) for the Asia Pacific and Africa region.  This agreement was renewed in October 2010 for an additional 3 year term.  The agreement, which serves as a base line agreement for use of the NFS products by DFS companies and affiliated companies, represents an endorsement of the NFS product line and the

capabilities of NetSol to worldwide DFS entities. This continued endorsement has had a tremendous impact on our perspective customers, it has helped our sales and Business Development personnel to market and sell our NFS solution to blue chip customers around the world.  This relationship has resulted in new agreements with DFS and has served as a marketing source which has resulted in agreements with companies such as Toyota and BMW.

NTE's strategic relationship with Neptune Software plc has provided the Company with the opportunity to further develop its business in Africa. Neptune has a number of Banking clients in Africa whose interest in Leasing and Asset Finance is demonstrably increasing, this being drive by a number of fiscal factors and the desire in the region to mechanise agricultural production in particular.

Technical Affiliations

The Company currently has technical affiliations such as: a Microsoft Certified GOLD Partner; a member of the Intel Solution blueprint Program; IBM Business Partner and, an Oracle Certified Partner.

Marketing and Selling

NetSol management continues its optimism that the Company will experience ever increasing opportunities for its product and services offerings in 2013 and beyond.  The Company is aggressively growing the marketing and sales organizations in its regions.  The objective of the Company's marketing program is to create and sustain preference and loyalty for NetSol as a leading provider of enterprise solutions, e-services consulting, software solutions and business process outsourcing.  Marketing is performed at the corporate and business unit levels. The corporate marketing department has overall responsibility for communications, advertising, public relations and the website and, also engineers and oversees central marketing and communications programs for use by each of the business units.

Our dedicated marketing personnel, within the regions, undertake a variety of marketing activities, including sponsoring focused client events to demonstrate our skills and products, sponsoring and participating in targeted conferences and holding private briefings with individual companies. We believe that the industry focus of our sales professionals and our business unit marketing personnel enhances their knowledge and expertise in these industries and will generate additional client engagements.

The Markets

NetSol provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial industries. In the global commercial area, the Company's service offerings are marketed to clients in a wide array of industries including, automotive, chemical, textiles, Internet marketing, software, medical, banks, higher education and telecommunication associations, and, financial services.

Geographically, NetSol has operations on the West Coast of the United States, Central Asia, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. NetSol took the initiative as the first US NASDAQ listed company to dual list on the NASDAQ Dubai exchange in Dubai. Although UAE markets suffered the impact of recession, this move was primarily to introduce NetSol to the potential of the most capitalized Middle Eastern countries. By design, NetSol has increased its brand recognition in one of the most vibrant and dynamically growing regions.

The Asian continent including, Australia and New Zealand, from the perspective of marketing, are targeted by the Asia Pacific Region from its Bangkok, Beijing and Lahore facilities.  The marketing for our core offerings in the Americas and Europe is carried out from our San Francisco Bay Area and London Metropolitan area offices.

People and Culture

The Company believes it has developed a strong corporate culture that is critical to its success. Its key values are delivering world-class quality software, client-focused timely delivery, leadership, long-term relationships, creativity, openness and transparency and professional growth. The services provided by NetSol require proficiency in many fields, such as software engineering, project management, business analysis, technical writing, sales and marketing, communication and presentation skills.

To encourage all employees to build on our core values, we reward teamwork and promote individuals who demonstrate these values. NetSol offers all of its employees the opportunity to participate in its stock option program. Also, the Company has an intensive orientation program for new employees to introduce our core values and a number of internal communications and training initiatives defining and promoting these core values. We
 
 
11

 
believe that our growth and success are attributable in large part to the high caliber of our employees and our commitment to maintain the values on which our success has been based.  NetSol worldwide is an equal opportunity employer.

NetSol believes it should give back to the community and employees as much as possible.  Certain of our subsidiaries are located in regions where basic services are not readily available.  Where possible, NetSol acts to not only improve the quality of life of its employees but the standard of living in these regions.  Examples of such programs are:

·  
Humanitarian Relief:  We are all aware of the devastation that can be wrought by natural disasters.  NetSol has historically supported earthquake and flood relief where the need is the greatest.  As recently as last year, the company established a fund raising effort on a worldwide basis to encourage outside and employee contributions to relief efforts.

·  
Literacy Program-- launched to educate low paid illiterate employees of the organization. The main objective of this program is to enable these resources to acquire basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills. The first phase of the plan was completed with astounding accomplishments; the people who could not even write a single word are now able to write complete letters within a span of 6 months. This initiative has been extremely successful and NetSol intends to further support this program.

·  
Noble Cause Fund--A noble cause fund has been established to meet medical and education expenses of the children of the low paid employees. NetSol employees voluntarily contribute a fixed amount every month to the fund and the Company matches the employee subscriptions with an equivalent amount contribution. A portion of this fund is utilized to support social needs of certain institutions and individuals, outside NetSol.

·  
Day Care Facility--NetSol’s human resources are its key assets and thus the Company takes numerous steps to ensure the provision of basic comforts to its employees. In Pakistan, the provision of outside pre-school child care is a rarity.  Keeping in view this requirement, a Child Day Care facility has been created in close proximity to the work premises equipped with the necessary essential staff and equipment. Married female employees are offered the opportunity to entrust complete care of their young ones to a trained and experienced staff. Child day care allows female employees to pay unhindered focused attention to work requirements while their child remains safe and comfortable. The premises and environment are neat and clean with all basic needs fulfilled to ensure complete care of the children.

·  
Preventative Health Care Program--In addition to the comprehensive out-patient and in-patient medical benefits, preventive health care has also been introduced. This phased program focuses on vaccination of our employees against Hepatitis – A/B, Tetanus, Typhoid and Flu, etc. This is a regular annual immunization program to keep employees healthy.

·  
NetSol Corporate University-- NetSol Corporate University (“NCU”) was established for developing human resources at NetSol. A need was felt to further develop and retain the talent at hand through strategic learning interventions to respond to growing competition and challenges.

Overall, NetSol as a global IT company has over 25% female employees with the biggest concentration in our development facility in Lahore and in the U.S. headquarters. The Company is an equal opportunity employer. Being a successful company with a well respected name in the business community, NetSol encourages its employees to actively participate and contribute to charitable contributions for catastrophic tragedies anywhere in the globe.

There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to perform the services we offer. The company runs an elaborate training program for different cadre of employees ranging from technical knowledge, business domains as well as communication, management and leadership skills.  The Company believes that it has been successful in its efforts to attract and retain the highest level of talent available, in part because of the emphasis on core values, training and professional growth. We intend to continue to recruit, hire and promote employees who share this vision.

As of June 30, 2012, we had 854 full-time employees and 3part-time employees; comprised of 657 IT project and technical personnel; and 197 non-IT personnel.  The non-IT personnel include 23 employees in management, 35 employees in sales and marketing, 27 employees in accounting, 18 in customer support, and 94 in general and administration.  None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Competition

Neither a single company, nor a small number of companies, dominates the IT market in the space in which the Company competes. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those offered by NetSol. Some of these are large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and computer consulting firms that have greater financial resources than NetSol and, in some cases, may have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by NetSol.

In the NFS™ business space, the barriers to entry are getting higher. The products are getting more cutting edge while richness in functionality is paramount. Older companies have prolonged the life of their legacy products by creating web-based front ends, while the core of the systems has not been re-engineered.  In the case of NFS™, we compete chiefly against leading suppliers of IT solutions to the financial industry, including names such as White Clarke< Fimasys, International Decision Systems (IDS), Data Scan, CHP Consulting, 3i Infotech, Finnone and Nucleus Software.

In the IT based business services areas, we compete with both smaller local firms and many global IT services providers, including names such as Wipro, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway, HCL and TCS (Tata Consulting).

Our competition is based primarily in high cost locations in the US, UK and other parts of Europe as opposed to NetSol with its facility in Bangkok and Lahore. NetSol is now the only company in the leasing and finance solution space that provides regional solutions in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.  In addition, it is the only company in this space that is publicly listed and provides an offshore development infrastructure with CMMI level 5 accreditation.
 
Many of the competitors of NetSol have longer operating history, larger client bases, and longer relationships with clients, greater brand or name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, and public relations resources than NetSol. Existing or future competitors may develop or offer services that are comparable or superior to ours at a lower price, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Toyota Motors (which consists of a group of many companies in different countries) accounts for 2.62% of our revenues.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
 
We have yet to remedy the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and accordingly in our disclosure controls and procedures.  this failure to remedy these weaknesses may result in a lack of confidence in our financial reporting and negatively affect our stock price and financial viability.
 
Beginning with our 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2011, our management concluded that our core accounting staff do not have sufficient U.S GAAP experience and training.  This lack of sufficient U.S. GAAP expertise in core accounting staff led to the management’s conclusion that this is a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting and, accordingly, in our disclosure controls and procedures.  We have actively sought a U.S. CPA candidate to act as interim or permanent CFO but have yet to identify a candidate that meets the needs and requirements of a multi-national company.  To date we have not identified a suitable candidate with the ability to travel to Pakistan due to geopolitical unrest as a permanent CFO. While our current CFO is seeking to acquire his U.S. CPA credentials, there is no guarantee that he will be awarded the CPA.  While we will continue our efforts to remedy the weakness, there is no guarantee that we will be able to remedy the weakness in the near term.

ITEM 7- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol’s financial position and results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2012.  It should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 A few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in 2011-2012 were:

•  
NetSol Technologies Pakistan signed multi-million dollar agreements to implement NFS™ solution, for a major European Bank in China and, an automobile manufacturer in Thailand.
•

•  
NetSol Technologies and ABeam Consulting Ltd. entered into a strategic partnership agreement to jointly develop and support business in the asset finance and leasing industry in Japan, as well as cooperating in other key markets to serve Japanese corporations operating throughout the Asia Pacific region.

•  
Won a major contract in the area of ‘Information Security’ with a leading Telecom in Pakistan.
 
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.

This plan is designed to:
 
·  
Achieve 15-25% annual revenue growth for the next 5 years
·  
Achieve 60-65% gross margins in 2013 and average 70% for next three years.
·  
Result in enhanced organic growth
·  
Build a strong new ecommerce vertical under Vroozi platform
·  
Continue to enhance delivery and service capabilities in China, Thailand, USA and UK.
·  
Strengthen NetSol brand and market shares in APAC markets
·  
Consistently hire the best available talent to develop the next line of managers for our growing demand
 
 
20

 
The plan contemplates the following enhanced activities and initiatives will accomplish these goals:
 
o  
Continued expansion in the Chinese market which offers ever growing new opportunities in the auto, banking and lending sectors for NFS™.
 
o  
NetSol is positioning China to become a dominant market for lending enterprise solutions for captive multinationals and local Chinese companies, including equipment finance, big ticket leasing markets and the banking industry. In the lease and finance domain NetSol can claim the de facto leadership position in the rapidly growing Chinese market.
 
o  
Further augmentation of NTPK Thailand. The office space in Bangkok has been enhanced with new hires of local and international staff to address and support a very rapidly growing market. The pipeline of new customers is growing from the markets in Japan, South Korea, Australia, India and other regional markets. These markets will be serviced and supported from the Thailand office with strong sales and client support team. The Bangkok facility is intended to become an alternate delivery and implementation center for global customers and partners in Asia Pacific.
 
o  
The new and fast growing manifestations of e-commerce, such as cloud computing, are being utilized by some of our offerings and will be further explored by us for other offerings. Our e-commerce division’s smartOCI® has been demonstrated and presented to major fortune 500 companies in the US as an on-demand, catalogue content management system. The demand of e-procurement search engine seems robust and attractive. Continued new license sales activities are in the pipeline for Vroozi, Inc. Presently smartOCI® is the main asset in this entity while we explore other channels of growth in e-commerce and search engine space. There has been a surge of interest amongst fortune 500 corporations for demos and workshops for smartOCI® in recent months. To date, ten new US based major corporations have been signed up for smartOCI®.
 
o  
Europe continues to experience a severe recession coupled with regional debt crises.  NetSol Europe’s operations have maintained modest growth in sales while the Company has further rationalized overall operating overheads.    Despite the sluggish economy in Europe, our relationship with existing clientele is very strong and we expect to generate new revenues from these customers in this fiscal year. The integration of VLS in conjunction with Investec Bank as a JV partner should bolster growth in services sectors complementing core solutions and augmenting overall market share in the UK.
 
o  
The market of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is robust, rich and well capitalized, offering vast opportunities for NetSol through our joint venture. Recently, there have been a few new local IT contracts awarded but our vision is based on long term and high value projects in the defense, public, infrastructure and multinational auto captive markets. In order to be equal partners with a major conglomerate, Atheeb Group, a $2 billion group in revenue, we need to have the serious financial wherewithal and resources to bid on major projects exceeding $100 million each in value. Currently, the joint venture has 10 employees based in Riyadh with direct delivery and implementation support from NetSol PK. Recently ANSCL has signed four new contracts both in defense and private sector to provide IT services and consulting in the key areas that are valued to over $2.0MN. This is just a beginning as we see very exciting new developments as we close new contracts.
 
o  
Our NFS™ suite of products is currently undergoing a major initiative towards developing the next generation of solutions. The Company believes that this would change the landscape for NetSol and increase both demand and the market. We are in the middle of developing a comprehensive sales and marketing plan requiring new personnel, markets and investment. However, the demand for current NFS has been very robust with some global clients and many new fortune 500 captive finance companies in China, Thailand and Japan.
 
 
21

 
o  
In order to maximize the market and product potential of our SAP and Ecommerce line, highlighted by our smartOCI® product, we spun this line off into its own operational entity.  We believe this will better enhance product and market development by providing a dedicated management and fulfillment staff.
 
●           Growth – New Alliances, Mergers & Acquisition

o The markets in the US and UK offer a host of complementary companies with impressive client bases to expand the distribution channels for NFS™ and its new generation product line.  There are   established small sized Companies, with relatively low valuations, which can become part of NetSol on an affordable basis. It is important to seek out these companies in order to grow our customer base, revenue and net margins by leveraging our delivery and implementation model.

Funding and Investor Relations:

The fundamental challenge constantly facing the management is to achieve sustainable growth with a healthy balance sheet, without too much dilution. In light of global opportunities for organic growth and through alliances and mergers and acquisitions, the Company raised cash through a public offering of shares of common stock in 2012.  We are using this cash infusion to support sales and marketing, Vroozi, infrastructure, and operations and capital investment in the newly formed Chinese subsidiary, NetSol Beijing.  Going forward any new capital raise would depend on new opportunities to accelerate growth organically and/or through M&A.
 
We are using proceeds from the last offering of shares to the public on:
 
·  
Expansion in China, Thailand and other emerging markets.
 
·  
Expanding the North American operation to roll out NetSol new generation solutions and enter Cloud Computing Solutions including building Vroozi.
 
·  
Build Vroozi as a winning name in the E-Commerce space.
 
·  
Support larger IT related public and defense sectors projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with our joint venture partner.
 
·  
Capital Expenditures for our next generation products, technology and infrastructure.
 
·  
Hiring and training of programmers, engineers, sales and marketing to create a bigger bench for technical team to cater to bigger volume new contracts.
 
Investor Relations efforts will include:
 
·  
Working to grow our institutional investor base.
 
·  
Sharing the NetSol story with sell side analysts, funds, portfolio managers and the financial media.
 
·  
Aggressively positioning NetSol in front of major investors’ conferences and road shows to be organized by our IR consultants and investment bankers.
 
·  
Utilizing US mainstream media to highlight NetSol’s image and ‘niche’ business offering.
 
·  
Founding management continued investment in the Company in the open market reaffirming their commitment to the potential and the future of the Company.
 
Improving the Bottom Line:
 
Management believes that these measures will improve the bottom line on an ongoing basis:
 
·  
Improve pricing, sales volume and fee structures.
 
·  
Continue consolidation and reevaluating operating margins as ongoing activities.
 
·  
Streamline further cost of goods sold to improve gross margins to historical levels over 60%, as sales ramp up.
 
·  
Generate higher revenues per employee, enhance productivity and lower cost per employee.
 
·  
Optimize the utilization of NetSol’s best talent and resources, infrastructure, processes and disciplines to maximize the bottom-line and fully leverage the cost arbitrage.
 
·  
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.
 
·  
Cost efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation to improve bottom line.
 
 
22

 
·  
Create more visibility and predictability by implementing SaaS model in mature markets. Retire Debt to reduce the interest cost significantly and to make every effort to avoid any one time charges.
 
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.  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:
 
·  
The global economic uncertainty 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.
 
·  
Global economic pressures and the recession have shifted users of IT processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions providers, to control costs and improve ROIs.
 
·  
Serious interest in NetSol’s next generation solution has been expressed by a few global companies.  Demos and workshops with key global clients and partners of have been very well received. Hence, the new generation solution, while not completely ready, is gaining momentum.
 
·  
First successful implementation of NextGen – NFS™ solution with a Thai bank is a very positive indicator for new deals.
 
·  
China has become the world’s second largest economy, continuing to grow by over 8% a year while growth in other industrial nations has declined or grown only marginally.
 
·  
China’s automobile and banking sectors have been unaffected by the global meltdown and   their recent automobile sales statistics have outperformed all other economies.
 
·  
Growing interest in Japan for IT services and NFS applications within banking, equipment finance and general leasing industries.
 
·  
As reported by the Associated Press, China surpassed the US as the number one automobile market in auto sales.  JD Powers & Associates anticipated further strong growth in future auto sales.  It is anticipated that this market opportunity will result in further penetration by NetSol into China’s burgeoning leasing and finance market.
 
·  
E-Commerce, new technologies, innovations and online activities are gaining momentum in many verticals.   New areas for diversification are opening for NetSol. The B2B market has never been stronger in the US market alone thereby offering a potentially huge opportunity to grow Vroozi offerings.
 
·  
Strong entry in e-commerce space by way of developing and marketing a new IP and winning series of fortune 500 US customers.
 
·  
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.
 
·  
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is investing billions in healthcare, education, defense, cyberspace securities, IT, infrastructure and many other new sectors. This makes it one of the most promising markets for the Atheeb NetSol joint venture.
 
·  
The dependency of our blue chip clients on NetSol solutions has further deepened; creating new enhancements, new modules, and services orders in the US.
 
·  
Improved outlook and earnings of bellwether technology companies in USA, reflecting the turnaround of this sector after recession.
 
 
23

 
·  
Global opportunities requiring NetSol to diversify its delivery capabilities to Bangkok and such other new emerging economies that offer geopolitical stability and low cost IT resources, thereby reducing dependency upon the Lahore technology campus.
 
·  
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 5 more years remaining on this tax incentive.
 
Negative trends:
 
·  
Geopolitical unrest due to extremism in the regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
 
·  
Continued strains in US-Pakistan relations.
 
·  
The emergence of many smaller players offering IT solutions in China has resulted in greater price competition.
 
·  
The fear of renewed recession in the US and a continued sluggish European market, could adversely affect our business in North America and Europe.
 
·  
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.
 
·  
Restricted liquidity and financial burden due to tighter internal processes and limited budgets might cause delays in the receivables from some clients.
 
·  
Anticipated worsening US deficit and a rise in inflation in coming years would put further stress on consumers and business spending.
 
·  
Volatility in oil prices, Euro zone in European markets and uncertainty overall in global economies could deter the growth and GDP in the US.
 
·  
Unrest and growing war in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional challenges.
 
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.
 
 
24

 
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, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.

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
 
 
 
25

 
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.
 
The company does impairment testing of the goodwill on an annual basis at the balance sheet date i.e., June 30th. In addition to our annual internal impairment testing, the Company retains the services of an independent valuation specialist to validate our findings.
 
The source of the Company’s goodwill relates to the acquisition of three companies namely NetSol PK Tech, CQ Systems, UK, VLS, UK and McCue Systems, USA. NetSol PK Tech operates in the Asia Pacific region; CQ Systems (currently NetSol Technologies Europe Limited) and VLS both operate in Europe; and McCue Systems (currently NetSol Technologies North America, Inc.) operates in the North American region. All these geographies are considered as different reporting units (segments). Goodwill arising from the acquisition of these companies has been allocated to their respective geographical segments to which they relate. While identifying reporting units/ segments, the Company takes into consideration the reports reviewed by the CEO (chief operating decision maker). As our financial reports are analyzed on this regional basis, we have defined this as segment reporting for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. Reporting unit detail of goodwill as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 is given below:

     Total

There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. A number of factors are taken into consideration while calculating the fair value of the reporting units. These factors include the projected after tax earnings of the reporting unit, industry price earnings ratio and a reasonable discount rate to arrive at the actual fair value of the reporting unit.

The Company has maintained its estimated revenue projections despite severe global economic challenges. Total consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2012, increased 8.83% from $36,547,574 in fiscal year 2011, to $39,775,524, in fiscal year 2012. This increase included a 5.06% growth in maintenance fee revenue, from $7,488,388 to $7,866,930 and a 4.3% growth in service revenue from $17,774,714 to $18,538,893, including consulting and implementation services. The increase in consolidated net revenue is mainly attributed to approximately a 18.48% rise in license revenue from $11,284,472 in 2011 to $13,369,701 in 2012. This increase in license revenue shows confidence of the customers in our flagship product NetSol Financial Suite.

The Company is well-positioned for revenue growth and has invested heavily in the development of its next generation product, which is expected to be completed during the calendar year 2013. Globally, our target customers are still using old systems for maintaining their lease and finance portfolios and are now planning to replace their legacy systems. NetSol, being a trusted name in this field, is in a good position to tap new business from these companies. The completion of this next generation software will provide the Company the capability to enter into a much larger market. We note that this product-conversion may negatively impact our license fee revenue until which point the new product gains traction in the marketplace.

The gross profit was $21,497,501 for year ended June 30, 2012, as compared with $21,743,448 for the same period of the previous year.  This is a slight decrease of 1.13%.  The gross profit percentage was 54.05% for the current fiscal year and 59.49% in the prior year.   The cost of sales was $18,278,023 in the current year compared to $14,804,126 in the prior year. The increase in cost of sales is mainly due to increase in salaries of the technical staff, increased travel to implement the software at client sides, increase in depreciation and amortization expense and some inflationary factors affecting global economy.

Operating expenses were $14,232,919 for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to, $11,578,628 for the year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 22.92% from the prior year.  The increase is mainly attributable to reversal of lease abandonment charges upon final settlement with the lessor last year increase in salaries and wages as well as in general and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $1,113,758 and $1,180,226 for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Combined salaries and wage costs were $4,191,593 and $3,347,896 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $843,697 from the corresponding period last year. One of the main reasons for this increase is the acquisition of another subsidiary which salaries are consolidated for the first time. General and administrative expenses were $4,679,840 and $3,719,796 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $960,044 or 25.81%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 11.75% in the current year compared to 10.18% in the prior year. The increase in cost is also attributable to the first time consolidation of the new subsidiary acquired in UK.

Selling and marketing expenses slightly increased to $3,130,379 for the year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $3,016,402 for the year ended June 30, 2011.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 7.86% in the current year compared to 8.25% in the prior year.  The Company provided for certain doubtful debts of $124,291 and $367,064, during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income from operations in fiscal year 2011 was $7,264,582 as compared to $10,164,821 in fiscal year 2011. As a percentage of sales, net income from operations was 18.26% in the current year as compared to 27.81% in the prior period.

Net income in fiscal year 2012 was $2,446,545 as compared to $5,728,088 in fiscal year 2011.    The current fiscal year amount includes a net reduction for the minority interest in earnings of $4,202,726 compared to a reduction of $3,974,882 in the prior year for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Innovation, the 39.48% minority interest in NetSol PK and the 49% minority interest in VLS. The net earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $0.39 in 2012 as compared to $1.18 and $1.16 in 2011.

The net EBITDA income was $7,885,561 as compared to $10,845,992 after amortization and depreciation charges of $4,641,987 and $4,288,512, income taxes of $55,384 and $120,542, interest expense of $823,684 and $863,707 and interest income of $82,039 and $154,856 respectively.  The EBITDA income per share, basic & diluted was 1.27 and $1.26 as compared to $2.23 and $2.19 in the year ago period. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of income, 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.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $13,757,637 million in accounts receivable and $12,131,329 million in revenues in excess of billings.  Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $8,112,715 for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $13,922,191 for the year ended June 30, 2011.

The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in accounts receivable and net profits of the company, accounts receivable.  The average collection cycle for accounts receivables ranges between three to six months from the date of invoicing. Payments are usually received within the due dates. The average days sales outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2012, were 127 days as compared with 150 days in fiscal year 2011.
 
We note that net cash used in investing activities amounted to $11,407,346 for the year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $17,795,596 for the year ended June 30, 2011. The difference is primarily a result of the less capitalization of intangible assets and decrease in purchases of fixed assets. Please note that the Company had purchases of property and equipment of $4,912,322 compared to $9,085,148 for the comparable period last fiscal year.
 
We note that net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $9,091,751 and $4,266,782 for years ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.  The current fiscal year included the cash inflow of $5,743,300 from the sale of common stock and $728,500 from the exercising of stock options and warrants, compared to $4,099,250 and $1,615,050 in the prior year, respectively.  As of June 30, 2012 the convertible notes payable, net of the associated beneficial conversion feature amounted to $3,745,457 out of which 75% could be payable in fiscal 2013 at the option of lender.
 
In the current fiscal year, the Company had $4,250,308 in proceeds from bank loans, and net capital leases payments of $8,089,139 as compared to $2,969,146 in proceeds from bank loans, and net capital leases payments of $3,118,344 in the comparable period last year.  The Company operates in a range of geographical regions of the world through its various subsidiaries. These 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. 12 of the annexed financial statements. The Company and all of its subsidiaries are in compliance with our financial covenant arrangements. The Company’s subsidiary, NetSol PK, has a term finance facility from Askari Bank to finance the construction of a new building. The total amount of the facility is Rs. 162,500,000 or approximately $1,719,577 which is secured by way of first charge of Rs. 580 million of land, building, and equipment of the Company. The Company has used only Rs. 100 million ($1,058,201 approximately) of this facility as on June 30, 2012 and the balance of Rs. 62.5 million is available depending upon the financial requirements of the Company.
 
The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to: expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and strengthen marketing and sales activities in strategic markets.   A strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts.
 
As a growing and dynamic company, we will continue our organic growth strategy in selective markets. While we have scaled down any major capital expenditures, there will be 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 having the need for working capital of $4.0 to $6.0 million for overall expansion plans that would involve continued R&D, new product development, business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.

Management intends to further improve the accounts receivable collections process from our customers. In addition, we expect that significant executive and employee stock options exercises as a substantial amount of these options are in the money. The Company will explore injections of new capital from strategic investors, as the most feasible and viable source of new capital.  Some of the joint ventures partners could be amongst the strategic investors to

strengthen our balance sheet. Management is very aware of the need to continue to reduce both short term and long term liabilities while continuously improving cash flow and net cash position. Management remains very committed and focused to strengthening overall assets and will employ all of the above mentioned tools and such others as may become available to achieve these goals.

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 362.5 million ($3,835,979) which requires NTPK to maintain a long term debt equity ratio of 60:40 and the current ratio of 1:1.

As of the date of this report, the Company and all its subsidiaries are in compliance with the financial covenants associated with its borrowings. The maturity dates of the borrowings of respective subsidiaries may accelerate if they do not comply with these covenants. In case of any change in control in subsidiaries, they may have to repay their respective credit facilities.

Dividends and Redemption

It has been the Company's policy to invest earnings in the growth of the Company rather than distribute earnings as common stock dividends. This policy, under which common stock dividends have not been paid since the Company's inception and is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors.

ITEM 7A.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
 
Economic Exposure
 
We transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international revenues, as well as costs denominated in foreign currencies. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Since majority of the operations of the company are based in the Asia Pacific region where Pak Rupee is continuously losing its value against the US Dollar and we don’t have any imports, therefore, we believe it is counter-productive to hedge this exposure. Devaluation of Pak rupee results in foreign exchange gain to the company.
 
Transaction Exposure
 
Our exposure to foreign currency transaction gains and losses is the result of certain net receivables due from our foreign subsidiaries and customers being denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary, primarily the Euro, Yuan, Baht and Pak Rupee. Our foreign subsidiaries conduct their businesses in local currency. Since majority of the operations of the company are based in the Asia Pacific region where Pak Rupee is continuously losing its value against the US Dollar and we don’t have any imports, therefore, we believe it is counter-productive to hedge this exposure.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Except as noted in Item 9A, Kabani & Company, Inc.’s report on NetSol’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Also except as noted in Item 9A below, In connection with the audit of NetSol's financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 there were no disagreements, disputes, or differences of opinion with Kabani & Company on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Kabani & Company would have caused Kabani & Company to make reference to the matter in its report.

ITEM 9A.  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 Annual Report on Form 10-K.   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 June 30, 2012. 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 June 30, 2012, 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 its core accounting staff do not have necessary technical accounting knowledge and 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 June 30, 2012.   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.

Management is committed to remediating the material weakness as quickly as possible and we will continue to encourage our current accounting staff to both further their continuing education and to sit for the Certified Public Accountant exam in the United States. Company is also focusing to hire additional accounting staff with necessary experience and training with respect to US GAAP.

Kabani & Company, Inc., our independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, 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 11-EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
NetSol Technologies’ Named Executive Officers, a group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary and General Counsel in the 2011-2012 fiscal year are the following individuals:
 
 Najeeb Ghauri  Chief Executive Officer
 Boo Ali  Chief Financial Officer
 Patti L. W. McGlasson  Secretary and General Counsel
                                                                                 
   
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance at or above established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.

Setting Executive Compensation
 
Management develops our compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data in the media services and technology industries. We believe that the practices of these groups of companies provide us with appropriate compensation benchmarks, because these groups of companies are in similar businesses and tend to compete with us for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, we typically review the compensation data we have collected from these groups of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees as the Company. For purposes of determining executive compensation, as of the period covered by this report, we have not engaged consultants to help us analyze this data or to compare our compensation programs with the practices of the companies represented in the compensation data we review.  However, the compensation committee has determined to utilize the services of a consultant for purposes of comparing our compensation program with similarly situated companies in like industries.  The recommendations of these consultants will be utilized by the Committee in determining the appropriate compensation packages.  While these consultants may make general recommendations about the size and components of compensation, we anticipate our philosophy to continue on the basis of a pay-for-performance philosophy.
 
Based on management's analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to establish base salaries and total executive compensation (taking into consideration the executive's experience and abilities) that are competitive with those companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data we review.
 
We work within the framework of this pay-for-performance compensation philosophy to determine each component of an executive's initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:
 
 The individual's particular background, track record and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;

 The individual's role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that we review;

• The demand for individuals with the individual's specific expertise and experience;

 Performance goals and other expectations for the position; and,
 
Uniqueness of industry skills.
 
The terms of each executive officer's compensation are derived from employment agreements negotiated between the Company and the executive. Each executive's employment agreement is generally negotiated to cover a one to three-year period, and prescribes the base salary and other annual payments, if any, to the executive. Employment agreements for all executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. Employment agreements for other executives are approved by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
 
2012 Executive Compensation Components
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the principal components of compensation that our named executive officers were eligible to receive were:
 
 Base salary;
Long Term Equity Incentive Compensation;
Performance-based incentive compensation (discretionary bonus); and,
 Perquisites and other personal benefits.
 
Base Salary
 
An executive's base salary is evaluated together with components of the executive's other compensation to ensure that the executive's total compensation is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy.
 
 
40

 
The base salaries were established in arms-length negotiations between the executive and the Company, taking into account their extensive experience, knowledge of the industry, track record, and achievements on behalf of the Company.
 
Base salaries are adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee.  As of June 30, 2011, the annual review had not been completed and annual adjustments had not occurred.
 
Annual Bonus
 
Our compensation program includes eligibility for bonuses as rewarded by the Compensation Committee. All executives are eligible for annual performance-based cash bonuses in accordance with Company policies. The compensation committee takes into consideration the executive’s performance during the previous year to determine eligibility for discretionary bonuses.  Further, the compensation committee will review, if applicable, the performance criteria set forth in an executive’s previous year’s agreement and will determine if the executive has met such criteria in order to achieve the bonus.  The Company’s bonus criteria at the executive management level, is typically based on a gross revenue and per share profit targets.
 
During our fiscal year ended 2012, none of the named executives were awarded cash bonuses.
 
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
 
We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by our executives in equity-based awards. Our various Employee Stock Option Plans allow us to grant stock options to employees. We currently make initial equity awards of stock options to new executives and certain non-executive employees in connection with their employment with the Company. Annual grants of options, if any, are approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
Equity Incentives.    Executives, certain non-executive employees, and directors who join us may be awarded stock awards and/or stock option grants after they join the Company. These grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Such awards are intended to provide the executive with incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The size of the stock option award is also reviewed in light of the executive's track record, base salary, other compensation and other factors to ensure that the executive's total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy.  A review of all components of compensation is conducted when determining equity awards to ensure that total compensation conforms to our overall philosophy and objectives.
 
Equity incentives provided to executives are determined by the Fair Market Value of our common stock on the grant date were provided to the executives as an adjustment of their overall compensation while taking in to account the need to continue to incentivize the executive to build value in the organization. Each executive’s stock award was based on an analysis of the Compensation Committee of an appropriate overall cash compensation for each individual taking into account their position and compensation at similarly situated companies.  Each executive’s stock award was based on a desired overall compensation cash value less the base salary as approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
We provide named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to executive officers.
 
We maintain benefits and perquisites that are offered to all employees, including health insurance and dental insurance.   Benefits and perquisites may vary in different country locations and are consistent with local practices and regulations.

Termination Based Compensation
 
Upon termination of employment, all executive officers with a written employment agreement are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve, and as part of the process of setting the terms of, such severance arrangements, the Compensation Committee recognizes that executives and officers often face challenges securing new employment following termination.  Further, the Committee recognizes that many of the named executives and officers have participated in the Company since its founding and that this participation has not resulted in a return on their investments.  Termination and Change in Control Payments considered both the risk and the dedication of these executives’ service to the Company.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer has an employment agreement that provides, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination.  Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued.  These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
Our Chief Financial Officer has an employment agreement that provides, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the second month of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the two months from the date of termination.  Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued.  These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
The Secretary of the Company has an employment agreement that provides, if she is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, she is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for her and her family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination.  Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued.  These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
Tax and Accounting Implications
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
 
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. We believe that compensation paid under the management incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
Commencing on July 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including awards under our Employee Stock Option Plans, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R).
 
Summary Compensation
 
The following table shows the compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, earned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer who is our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, and others considered to be executive officers of the Company.

Pre-Approval Procedures
 
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors and for approving, in advance, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee maintains a policy for the engagement of the independent auditors that is intended to maintain the independent auditor’s independence from NetSol. In adopting the policy, the Audit Committee considered the various services that the independent auditors have historically performed or may be needed to perform in the future. The policy, which is to be reviewed and re-adopted at least annually by the Audit Committee:
 
 
(i)
Approves the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of service (principally audit-related and tax), subject to restrictions in some cases, based on the Committee’s determination that this would not be likely to impair the independent auditors’ independence from NetSol;

 
(ii)
Requires that management obtain the specific prior approval of the Audit Committee for each engagement of the independent auditors to perform other types of permitted services; and,

 
(iii)
Prohibits the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of services due to the likelihood that their independence would be impaired.
 
Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chairman of the Committee in office at the time, or by any other Committee member to whom the Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditors to any member of management.
 
The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of an engagement of the independent auditors is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefore and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditors’ independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable professional standards. Relevant considerations include, but are not limited to, whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of NetSol’s financial statements; whether the independent auditors would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would enhance NetSol’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would increase efficiency because of their familiarity with NetSol’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable to the independent auditors in the period that is for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditors’ ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
 
NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries
 
Calabasas, California
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (The “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive losses,  equity and cash flows for each of years in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its consolidated operations and comprehensive loss, equity and cash flows for each of years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 5, 2012 expressed an adverse opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
NetSol Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries
Calabasas, California
 
We have audited NetSol Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. The Company did not maintain effective controls over ensuring that accounting staff and the Company’s CFO had sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to U.S. GAAP financial reporting. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2012 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated September 5, 2012 on those consolidated financial statements.
 
In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, NetSol Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(A)  
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:
 
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”)
NTPK (Thailand) Co. Limited (“NTPK Thailand”)

The Company consolidates any variable interest entities of which it is the primary beneficiary. Equity investments through which we exercise significant influence over but do not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities are accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(B)  
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
(C)  
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.
 
(D)  
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Concentrations
 
For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
(E)  
Restricted Cash
 
The Company has certificates of deposits (“CD”s) in various configurations and maturity dates with Habib American Bank. A portion of these CDs are restricted as collateral to secure outstanding balances on an existing line of credit, and become unrestricted to the extent that they are not required for collateralization purposes. As of June 30, 2012 the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $51,231, with a corresponding restriction to the CD balances. The line of credit has a maximum available balance of $2,000,000.
 
In addition the company has also placed $90,000 in saving account with HSBC as collateral against standby letter of credit issued in by the bank in favor of land lord of new office space.
 
One of Company’s subsidiary also has certificates of deposits with Habib American Bank. These CDs are restricted as collateral to secure outstanding balances on an existing line of credit, and become unrestricted to the extent that they are not required for collateralization purposes. As of June 30, 2012 the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $Nil, with a corresponding restriction to the CD balances. The line of credit has a maximum available balance of $500,000.
 
(F)  
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had recorded allowance for doubtful accounts of $977,933 and $2,717,745, respectively.

(G)  
Revenues in Excess of Billings
 
Revenues in excess of billings represent the total of the project to be billed to the customer over the revenues recognized under the percentage of completion method. As the customer is billed under the terms of their contract, the corresponding amount is transferred from this account to “Accounts Receivable.”
 
(H)  
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to ten years.
 
The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.” Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense as incurred.
 
(I)  
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
 
(J)  
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.
 
(K)  
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.
 
 
F-13

 
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
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, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
 
(L)  
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.
 
(M)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
 
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheet. This is primarily attributed to the short maturities of these instruments.

(N)  
Revenue Recognition
 
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.
 
(O)  
Multiple Element Arrangements
 
We 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.
 
Net revenues by our various products and services provided for the year ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
 Licensing Fees
  $ 13,369,701     $ 11,284,472  
 Maintenance Fees
    7,866,930       7,488,388  
 Services
    18,538,893       17,774,714  
 Total
  $ 39,775,524     $ 36,547,574  
 
(P)  
Unearned Revenue
 
Unearned revenue represents billings in excess of revenue earned on contracts and are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contract. Unearned revenue was $2,704,661 and $2,653,460 as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 respectively.
 
(Q)  
Advertising Costs
 
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $225,870 and $246,254 respectively.

(R)  
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award (generally four to five years) using the straight-line method.
 
(S)  
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.
 
(T)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Assets and liabilities recorded in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded to other comprehensive income.
 
(U)  
Statement of Cash Flows
 
The Company's cash flows from operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
 
(V)  
Segment Reporting
 
The Company defines operating segments as components about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based on geographic locations of its subsidiaries (see Note 20).
 
(W)  
Reclassifications
 
Certain 2011 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation.
 
(X)  
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance on offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities. Entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013.
 
 
F-16

 
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present either a continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued a deferral of certain portion of this guidance.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend the accounting and disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The new guidance limits the highest-and-best-use measure to nonfinancial assets, permits certain financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risks to be measured at a net basis, and provides guidance on the applicability of premiums and discounts. Additionally, the new guidance expands the disclosures on Level 3 inputs by requiring quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions, as well as description of the valuation processes and the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

At June 30, 2012, federal and state net operating loss carry forwards were $29,028,547 and $3,114,464 respectively. Federal net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2020, while state net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2015. Due to both historical and recent changes in the capitalization structure of the Company, the utilization of net operating losses may be limited pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
 
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the federal and state jurisdictions for the years ending June 30, 2009 through 2012. The Company does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
 
The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that the Company intends to
 
permanently invest and upon which no deferred US income taxes have been provided is $32,403,645 as of June 30, 2012. The additional US income tax on unremitted foreign earnings, if repatriated, would be offset in part by foreign tax credits. The extent of this offset would depend on many factors, including the method of distribution, and specific earnings distributed.

The aggregate number of shares reserved and available for award under the 2011 Plan is 500,000 (the Share Reserve). The 2011 Plan contemplates the issuance of common stock upon exercise of options or other awards granted to eligible persons under the 2011 Plan. Shares issued under the 2011 Plan may be both authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company. Upon termination or expiration of an unexercised option, stock appreciation right or other stock-based award under the 2011 Plan, in whole or in part, the number of shares of common stock subject to such award again becomes available for grant under the 2011 Plan. Any shares of restricted stock forfeited as described below will become available for grant. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any one participant in any calendar year may not exceed 50,000 shares. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture.

Stock Options
 
Options granted under the 2011 Plan are not generally transferable and must be exercised within 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon termination of the option holder's employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's term. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (except in connection with the assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (a Ten Percent Shareholder) must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant and must not be exercisable for longer than five years. Options become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the 2011 Plan is ten years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder must have a term not exceeding five years.
 
Performance Awards
 
Under the 2011 Plan, a participant may also be awarded a "performance award," which means that the participant may receive cash, stock or other awards contingent upon achieving performance goals established by the Committee. The Committee may also make "deferred share" awards, which entitle the participant to receive our stock in the future for services performed between the date of the award and the date the participant may receive the stock. The vesting of deferred share awards may be based on performance criteria and/or continued service with our Company. A participant who is granted a "stock appreciation right" under the Plan has the right to receive all or a percentage of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right minus the grant price of the stock appreciation right determined by the Committee (but in no event less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant). Finally, the Committee may make "restricted stock" awards under the 2011 Plan, which are subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines and as are set forth in the award agreement related to the restricted stock. As of June 30, 2012, 9,450 shares have been issued under this plan to non- officers employees.

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 operational issues and strategies unique to their particular regional location. We account for intercompany sales and expenses as if the sales or expenses were to third parties and eliminate them in consolidation.
