NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile financing and leasing, banking, and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides system integration, consulting, and IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.

 

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:

 

Wholly owned Subsidiaries

NetSol Technologies Americas, Inc. (“NTA”)

NetSol Connect (Private), Ltd. (“Connect”)

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The areas requiring significant estimates are provision for doubtful accounts, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance. As of March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2018, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $15,525,141 and $20,933,224, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

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

 

The Company does not have any financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019.

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018, were as follows:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total Assets 
Revenues in excess of billing - long term  $-   $-   $1,206,669   $1,206,669 
Total  $-   $-   $1,206,669   $1,206,669

 Balance at March 31, 2019  $-   $-   $- 

 

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

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. It is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as a modification. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective prospectively for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Release No. 33-10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to the Company’s financial reporting is the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity in Rule 3-04 of Regulation S-X to interim periods. The Company adopted this new rule beginning the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Subtopic 985-605 Software - Revenue Recognition. Topic 605 and Subtopic 985-605 are collectively referred to as “Topic 605” or “prior GAAP.” Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, Topic 606 requires enhanced disclosures, including disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

 

The Company adopted Topic 606 on the first day of fiscal 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company evaluated contracts that were in effect at the beginning of fiscal 2019 as if those contracts had been accounted for under Topic 606. The Company did not evaluate individual modifications for those periods prior to the adoption date, but the aggregate effect of all modifications as of the adoption date and such effects are provided below. Under the modified retrospective transition method, periods prior to the adoption date were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical, pre-Topic 606 accounting. A cumulative catch-up adjustment was recorded to beginning accumulated deficit to reflect the impact of all existing arrangements under Topic 606.

 

As a result of adopting ASC 606, the Company recorded a net decrease of $5,795,795 to opening accumulated deficit and $2,957,860 to non-controlling interest as of July 1, 2018 as a cumulative catch-up adjustment for all open contracts as of the date of adoption. The most significant drivers of this adjustment related to the allocation of revenue to certain performance obligations on a stand-alone selling price basis. Specifically, contracts with one customer were required to be aggregated under the guidance of ASC 606, resulting in additional revenue allocated to the maintenance services under these contracts. Under the guidance of ASC 605, the Company had recognized one of these contracts as a stand-alone and separate contract with this customer, which resulted in additional revenue allocated to the license and services that had previously been delivered to this customer.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date of each lease. This ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating its lease portfolio; assessing system needs to support adoption of the new lease standard; and analyzing procedural changes, including updating our lease accounting policy as needed to reflect the new requirements of this standard. The Company continues to evaluate the impact that these changes in methodology will have on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will apply this guidance to applicable impairment tests after the adoption date.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. The ASU was issued to address the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU, among other things, eliminates the need to consider the effects of down round features when analyzing convertible debt, warrants and other financing instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this ASU also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Act is recognized. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740).” This ASU was issued to provide guidance on the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Act and allows for entities to report provisional amounts for specific income tax effects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 was not yet complete, but a reasonable estimate could be determined. A measurement period of one year is allowed to complete the accounting effects under ASC Topic 740 and revise any previous estimates reported. Any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments included in an entity’s financial statements during the measurement period should be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to tax expense in the reporting period the amounts are determined.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 “Compensation — Stock compensation — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update aims to simplify the accounting for share-based payments awarded to non-employees for goods or services acquired. The update specifies that the measurement date is the grant date and that awards are required to be measured at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which is designed to improve the effectiveness of disclosures by removing, modifying and adding disclosures related to fair value measurements. The update is effective for the Company on July 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company on July 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments in this update but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Core Revenue

 

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

 

Non-Core Revenue

 

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

 

Performance Obligations

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Subscription

 

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

Software Licenses

 

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

 

Maintenance

 

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

 

Professional Services

 

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

 

BPO and Internet Services

 

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

 

Disaggregated Revenue

 

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

Significant Judgments

 

More judgments and estimates are required under Topic 606 than were required under Topic 605. Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Contract Balances

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

   As of   As of 
   March 31, 2019   July 1, 2018 
         
Revenues in excess of billings  $13,381,205   $6,956,966 
           
Deferred Revenue  $6,241,741   $6,167,755 

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $1,758,521 and $5,422,772, respectively, which was included in the deferred revenue balance, as adjusted for Topic 606, at the beginning of the period. All other activity in deferred revenue is due to the timing of invoicing in relation to the timing of revenue recognition.

(UNAUDITED)

 

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $76,692,255 as of March 31, 2019, of which the Company estimates to recognize approximately $13,185,913 in revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over an estimated 6 years thereafter. Actual revenue recognition depends in part on the timing of software modules installed at various customer sites. Accordingly, some factors that affect the Company’s revenue, such as the availability and demand for modules within customer geographic locations, is not entirely within the Company’s control. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

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

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. Below is a list of practical expedients the Company applied in the adoption and application of Topic 606:

 

Application

 

  The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.

●   The Company generally expenses sales commissions and sales agent fees when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less or the commissions are based on cashed received. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

●   The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (applies to time-and-material engagements).

 

Modified Retrospective Transition Adjustments

 

●   For contract modifications, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred prior to the adoption date when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations for the modified contract at transition.

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

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

NOTE 12 – LONG TERM INVESTMENT-RELATED PARTY

 

On March 2, 2017, the Company purchased a 4.9% interest in WRLD3D, a non-public company, for $1,111,111. The Company paid $555,556 at the initial closing and $555,555 on September 1, 2017. NetSol PK, the subsidiary of the Company, purchased a 12.2% investment in WRLD3D, for $2,777,778 which will be earned over future periods by providing IT and enterprise software solutions. Per the agreement, NetSol PK is to provide a minimum of $200,000 of services in each three-month period and the entire balance is required to be provided within three years of the date of the agreement. If NetSol PK fails to provide the future services, it may be required to forfeit the shares back to WRLD3D. As of June 30, 2018, the investment earned by NetSol PK was $2,777,778.

 

In connection with the investment, the Company and NetSol PK received a warrant to purchase preferred stock of WRLD3D which included the following key terms and features:

 

  The warrants are exercisable into shares of the “Next Round Preferred”, only if and when the Next Round Preferred is issued by WRLD3D in a “Qualified Financing”.
  The warrants expire on March 2, 2020.
  “Next Round Preferred” is defined as occurring if WRLD3D’s preferred stock (or securities convertible into preferred stock) are issued in a Qualified Financing that occurs after March 2, 2016.
  “Qualified Financing” is defined as financing with total proceeds of at least $2 million.
  The total number of common stock shares to be issued is equal to $1,250,000 divided by the per share price of the Next Round Preferred.
  The exercise price of the warrants is equal to the greater of

 

  a) 70% of the per share price of the Next Round Preferred sold in a Qualified Financing, or
  b) 25,000,000 divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (on a fully-diluted basis, excluding the number of common stock shares issuable upon the exercise of any given warrant).

 

The Company determined that it met the significant influence criteria since the CEO of WRLD3D is the son of the CEO, Najeeb Ghauri, and also an employee of the Company; therefore, the Company accounts for the investment using equity method of accounting.

 

During the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2019, NetSol PK provided services valued at $156,996 and $494,333, respectively, which is recorded as services-related party.

NOTE 18 – CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records the estimated loss. The Company provides disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. The Company bases accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 19 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

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

Founded in 1997, NetSol is headquartered in Calabasas, California. While the Company follows a global strategy for sales and delivery of its portfolio of solutions and services, it continues to maintain regional offices in the following locations:

 

  North America Los Angeles Area
  Europe London Metropolitan area

NetSol’s offerings include its flagship global solution, NFS™. A robust suite of five software applications, it is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and financing cycle, starting from quotation origination through end of contract transactions. 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 for any size company, including those with multi-billion-dollar portfolios.

 

NFS Ascent™

 

NFS Ascent™ is the Company’s next-generation platform, offering a technologically advanced solution for the auto and equipment finance and leasing industry. NFS Ascent’s™ architecture and user interfaces were designed based on the Company’s collective experience with global Fortune 500 companies over the past 30 years. The platform’s framework allows auto captive and asset finance companies to rapidly transform legacy driven technology into a state-of-the-art IT and business process environment. At the core of the NFS Ascent™ platform is a lease accounting and contract processing engine, which allows for an array of interest calculation methods, as well as robust accounting of multibillion dollar lease portfolios under various generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as international financial reporting standards (IFRS). NFS Ascent™, with its distributed and clustered deployment across parallel application and high-volume data servers, enables finance companies to process voluminous data in a hyper speed environment. NFS Ascent™ has been developed using the latest tools and technologies and its n-tier SOA architecture allows the system to greatly improve a myriad of areas including, but not limited to, scalability, performance, fault tolerance and security.

 

NFS Digital

 

NetSol launched NFS digital in 2014. It enables a sales force for the finance and leasing company across different channels such as point of sale, field investigation and auditing, and allows end customers to access their contract details through a self-service mobile application. NFS digital includes mAccount, mPOS, mDealer, mAuditor, and Mobile Field Investigator (mFI).

 

LeasePak

 

In North America, NTA has and continues to develop the LeasePak CMS product. LeasePak streamlines the lease management lifecycle, enabling superior lease and loan portfolio management, flexible financial products (lease or loan terms) and sophisticated financial analysis and management to reduce operating costs and improve profits. It is scalable from a basic offering to a collection of highly specialized add on modules for systems, portfolios and accrual methods for virtually all sizes and varying complexity of operations. It is part of the vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors. It 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. It is also integrated with important partners in the asset-finance ecosystem, such as Vertex Series O.

 

LeasePak-SaaS

 

NTA also offers the LeasePak Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) business line, which provides high performance with a reduced total cost of ownership. SaaS offers a proven deployment option whereby customers only require access to the internet to use the software. With an elastic cloud price, revenue stream predictability and improved return on investment for customers, management believes that its SaaS customers will experience the performance, the reliability and the speed usually associated with a highly scalable private cloud. LeasePak-SaaS targets small and mid-sized leasing and finance companies.

 

LeaseSoft

 

In addition to offering NFS Ascent™ to the European market, NTE has some regional offerings, including LeaseSoft and LoanSoft. LeaseSoft is a full lifecycle lease and finance system aimed predominantly at the UK funder market, including modules to support web portals and an electronic data interchange manager to facilitate integration between funders and introducers. LoanSoft is similar to LeaseSoft, but optimized for the consumer loan market.

Highlights

 

Listed below are a few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in the nine months ended March 31, 2019:

 

  We signed a five-year contract with a tier-one auto captive finance company to implement our NFS Ascent™ platform in China. The five-year contract is valued at approximately $30 million which includes license, services, and maintenance.
  We signed a multi-million-dollar contract with a major American multinational automaker to implement our NFS Ascent™ Retail Platform in China.
  We signed a contract with a leading U.S. power sports finance provider to implement our cloud enabled legacy product (LeasePak) and digital platform (mAccount).
  We signed an additional contract in the U.K. with a notable auto finance company for our LeaseSoft product with a total contract value of approximately $425,000 to be realized over three years.
  We signed a SaaS contract with an automotive leasing company, who covers all of Canada for a key automotive brand, to provide access to the LeasePak Cloud product, and is expected to generate approximately $500,000 in revenues over the contract period.
  We successfully implemented the full suite of NFS Ascent™ modules in China for Daimler Financial Services.
  We successfully implemented our NFS Ascent™ Contract Management System in South Africa for Daimler Financial Services.
  We successfully kicked off the implementation process of our NFS Ascent™ Wholesale module in Japan for Daimler Financial Services.
  We started a data migration project for an existing customer which is expected to generate approximately $500,000 over the next few months.
  We further expanded our outreach in order to pave the way for NFS Ascent™ to effectively cater to the European market by establishing a new subsidiary and setting up an NFS Ascent™ focused office in London.
  We further advanced our “Innovation Lab” initiative by dedicating additional resources to our teams in Pakistan and Thailand.
  We received “First-Rate and Best-Selling Finance and Leasing Solution Provider” Award in China for the sixth consecutive year.

 

Our success, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on our ability to continue to grow revenues and improve profits, adequately capitalize for growth in various markets and verticals, make progress in the North American and European markets and, 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.

 

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

 

Positive trends:

 

Innovation in the auto sectors create opportunities for companies in that space:

 

  Fast changing paradigms in auto sectors indicate encouraging revenue opportunities. An example is car generated data. According to a McKinsey & Company report “Monetizing Car Data” from Advanced Industries September 2016, data generated by, for example autonomous cars, vehicle connectivity and powertrain electrification present an overall revenue opportunity on a global scale of up to USD 450-750 Billion by 2030.
     
  The new business models and ecosystems would be built on technological innovation using IoT, Big Data, and AI over a cryptographically secured decentralized network. According to IoT-now.com in a March 2018 article, amongst many opportunities, the use of these models allows automotive makers to update the vehicle’s firmware, enable premium features, diagnose performance reporting problems and scheduling repairs all through the cloud.
     
   Financial services are using artificial intelligence to gather data in order to provide an underwriting platform, that gives banks, and other credit institutions such as auto finance companies more transparency while cutting losses. According to industry players, auto lenders using machine-learning underwriting cut losses by 23% annually and more accurately predicted risk. See “AI and the bottom line: 14 examples of artificial intelligence in finance” Builtin.com December 4, 2018.

Benefits of having operations in Pakistan:

 

  The IT talent pool in Pakistan is growing with increased quality education and training in science and technology. These efforts are led by notable universities: The National University of Science and Technology (“NUST”), Lahore University of Management Sciences (“LUMS”), and the Foundation for Advancement of Science and Technology (“FAST”). NUST alone has 16,000 enrolled full-time students for undergraduates, post graduates and PHD programs.
     
  In Pakistan, we benefit in the bidding process by offering high-quality programmers, engineers, and developers at a discount compared with U.S. companies.
     
  China investment or CPEC (China Pakistan Economic Corridor) is approximately $62 billion from originally $46 billion in Pakistan on energy and infrastructure projects.
     
  Pakistan’s GDP expected to grow by 3.9% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2020 –according to Asian Development Bank Report. https://www.adb.org/countries/pakistan/economy

 

General business trends:

 

  Volkswagen, the top foreign brand in China, plans to invest about 4 billion euros ($4.5 billion) in the country in 2019 together with partners. While U.S. carmaker, Ford, schedules its production on market demand and works closely with dealers to manage inventory, it does plan to bring five more vehicles for local production this year to further drive its growth in China (Bloomberg News, January 9, 2019).
     
  The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) expects the market to be unchanged in 2019. While demand for gasoline cars wanes, rising sales of electric cars will probably help the overall market to avoid another slump, the association said in its outlook issued December 13, 2018 (Bloomberg News, January 9, 2019).
     
  According to Statista research Pickup truck sales, in the US, continue to grow in 2019 to US$98.328 million which shows the market almost doubled since 2010 (Financialnewsmedia.com February 5, 2019).
     
  Continued interest from Fortune 500 multinational auto captives and global companies in NFS Ascent™.
     
  Continuing interest from existing clients in the NFS™ systems in emerging and developing markets.

 

Negative trends:

 

  Continued Global terrorism and extremism threats in European countries.
     
  Geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and potential terrorism and the disruption risk it creates.
     
  Restricted liquidity and financial burden due to tighter internal processes and limited budgets might cause delays in the receivables from some clients.
     
  Trade negotiations uncertainty between the US and its key trading partners; the impact of Brexit, populism and political uncertainty in key vehicle producing countries and markets.
     
  The threats of conflict between in the Middle Eastern countries could potentially create volatility in oil prices, causing readjustments of corporate budgets and consumer spending slowing global auto sales.
     
  Industry trend towards autonomous cars and its effect on the automotive industry.
     
  Continued devaluation of the Pakistan Rupee.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 19 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

The increase in travel is due to the continuing implementation costs related to the 12-country contract and the implementation of the five-year contract signed with a tier-one auto captive finance company to implement NFS AscentTM in China. As a percentage of sales, travel expense increased from 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The majority of the contracts with NetSol PK are either in U.S. dollars or Euros; therefore, the currency fluctuations will lead to foreign currency exchange gains or losses depending on the value of the PKR compared to the U.S. dollar and the Euro. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a gain of $47,218 in foreign currency exchange transactions compared to $2,550,394 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 0.8% and 1.2%, respectively, compared to the PKR. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 4.5% and 7.5%, respectively, compared to the PKR.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $501,835 and $1,994,869, respectively. The decrease in non-controlling interest is primarily due to the decrease in net income of NetSol PK and NetSol Innovation.

 

Net Income attributable to NetSol

 

Net income was $1,267,560 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared a $2,864,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This is a decrease of $1,596,885 with a change of $1,234,145 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net income per share was $0.11 for basic and diluted shares, respectively, compared to $0.26 and $0.25 for basic and diluted shares, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 19 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

Revenues

 

License fees

 

License fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $13,310,002 compared to $3,210,868 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflecting an increase of $10,099,134 with a change in constant currency of $12,280,782. The increase in license revenue for the fiscal nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2018 is primarily due to the license revenue recognized with the five-year contract that was signed with a tier-one auto captive finance company to implement our NFS AscentTM platform in China and the license revenue recognized with the contract signed with a major American multinational automaker to implement our NFA AscentTM Retail Platform in China.

Maintenance fees begin once a customer has “gone live” with our product. We anticipate maintenance fees to gradually increase as we implement both our NFS legacy product and NFS Ascent™.

 

Maintenance fees – related party

 

Maintenance fees from related party for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 were $370,723 compared to $309,539 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflecting an increase of $61,184 with a change in constant currency of $77,484. The increase was due to the fluctuation in usage of active users.

 

Services

 

Services income for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $25,175,187 compared to $25,450,138 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflecting a decrease of $274,951 with an increase in constant currency of $3,877,133. The services revenue increase on a constant currency basis was due to an increase in services revenue associated with new implementations and change requests. Services revenue is derived from services provided to both current customers as well as services provided to new customers as part of the implementation process.

The increase in research and development cost is due to the new initiatives under the global arrangements of our Innovation Lab.

 

Income (loss) from Operations

 

Income from operations was $5,882,312 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $1,951,923 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This represents an increase of $3,930,389 with an increase of $4,797,021 on a constant currency basis for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2018. As a percentage of sales, income from operations was 11.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 4.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Other income was $2,276,464 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared with $4,875,108 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $2,598,644 with a change of $1,814,445 on a constant currency basis. The decrease is primarily due to the foreign currency exchange transactions. The majority of the contracts with NetSol PK are either in U.S. dollars or Euros; therefore, the currency fluctuations will lead to foreign currency exchange gains or losses depending on the value of the PKR compared to the U.S. dollar and the Euro. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a gain of $2,594,885 in foreign currency exchange transactions compared to $5,304,723 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 15.4% and 10.8%, respectively, compared to the PKR. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 10.4% and 19.3%, respectively, compared to the PKR.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $2,295,736 and $3,210,683, respectively. The decrease in non-controlling interest is primarily due to the increase in net income of NetSol PK offset by a decrease in net income of NetSol Innovation.

 

Net Income attributable to NetSol

 

Net income was $5,085,778 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $3,129,368 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This is an increase of $1,956,410 with an increase of $2,923,278 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, net income per share was $0.44 for basic and diluted shares compared $0.28 for basic and diluted shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

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

 

We define the non-GAAP measures as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Our cash position was $17,014,590 at March 31, 2019, compared to $22,088,853 at June 30, 2018.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $255,382 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2,252,005 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2019, we had current assets of $56,284,483 and current liabilities of $21,322,832. We had accounts receivable of $18,983,809 at March 31, 2019 compared to $16,149,733 at June 30, 2018. We had revenues in excess of billings of $13,443,027 at March 31, 2019 compared to $15,492,447 at June 30, 2018 of which $Nil and $1,206,669 is shown as long term as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The long-term portion was discounted by $238,576 at June 30, 2018, using the discounted cash flow method with interest rates ranging from 3.87% to 4.43% which was NetSol PK’s weighted average borrowing rate.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, our revenues in excess of billings were reclassified to accounts receivable pursuant to billing requirements detailed in each contract. The combined totals for accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings increased by $784,656 from $31,642,180 at June 30, 2018 to $32,426,836 at March 31, 2019. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $6,881,435 and $8,111,332, respectively at March 31, 2019. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $7,873,809 and $8,595,919, respectively at June 30, 2018.

 

The average days sales outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 174 and 274 days, respectively, for each period. The days sales outstanding have been calculated by taking into consideration the average combined balances of accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,711,588 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $1,392,957 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We had purchases of property and equipment of $2,590,302 compared to $1,107,732 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2017, we invested $1,126,500 and $550,000, respectively, in a short-term convertible note receivable from WRLD3D.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $559,667 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1,117,872 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The nine months ended March 31, 2019 included the cash inflow of $85,000 from the exercising of stock options compared to $215,311 for the same period last year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we purchased zero shares of our common stock from the open market compared to 171,074 shares of common stock for $750,714 for the same period last year. The nine months ended March 31, 2019 included the cash inflow of $1,337,092 from bank proceeds compared to $696,936 for the same period last year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we had net payments for bank loans and capital leases of $298,610 compared to $961,901 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. We are operating in various geographical regions of the world through our various subsidiaries. Those subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their short and long-term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates as described in Note 15 of the financial statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, which may lead to early payment of these obligations. We anticipate paying back all these obligations on their respective due dates from its own sources.

 

We typically fund the cash requirements for our operations in the U.S. through our license, services, and maintenance agreements, intercompany charges for corporate services, and through the exercise of options and warrants. As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately $17.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $15.5 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $22.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $20.9 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries.

 

We remain open to strategic relationships that would provide value added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving cash reserves internally and reduced reliance on external capital raise.

 

As a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long-term business plans. Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate needing $2.5 million for APAC, U.S. and Europe new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements, which we expect to provide from current operations.

 

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

Financial Covenants

 

Our UK based subsidiary, NTE, has an approved overdraft facility of £300,000 ($389,610) 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. The Pakistani subsidiary, NetSol PK has an approved facility for export refinance from Askari Bank Limited amounting to Rupees 500 million ($3,557,865) and a running finance facility of Rupees 75 million ($533,694) which requires NetSol PK to maintain a long-term debt equity ratio of 60:40 and the current ratio of 1:1. NetSol PK also has an approved export refinance facility of Rs. 380 million ($2,704,049) and a running finance facility of Rs. 120 million ($853,910) from Samba Bank Limited. During the tenure of loan, these two facilities require NetSol PK to maintain at a minimum a current ratio of 1:1, an interest coverage ratio of 4 times, a leverage ratio of 2 times, and a debt service coverage ratio of 4 times.

 

As of the date of this report, we are in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our 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.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition and multiple element arrangements, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Core Revenue

 

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

 

Non-Core Revenue

 

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

 

 Page 54 
 

 

Performance Obligations

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Subscription

 

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

 

Software Licenses

 

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

 

Maintenance

 

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

 

Professional Services

 

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

 

BPO and Internet Services

 

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

 

 Page 55 
 

 

Significant Judgments

 

More judgments and estimates are required under Topic 606 than were required under Topic 605. Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Contract Balances

 

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

 

 Page 56 
 

 

Deferred Revenue

 

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

 

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

 

There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. Below is a list of practical expedients the Company applied in the adoption and application of Topic 606:

 

Application

 

● The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.

● The Company generally expenses sales commissions and sales agent fees when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less or the commissions are based on cashed received. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

● The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (applies to time-and-material engagements).

 

Modified Retrospective Transition Adjustments

 

● For contract modifications, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred prior to the adoption date when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations for the modified contract at transition.

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

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

 

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.

 

 Page 57 
 

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Our stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and expected term. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model changes significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical experience and our expectations regarding future pre-vesting termination behavior of employees. To the extent our actual forfeiture rate is different from our estimate; stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

 

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 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.

 

 Page 58 
 

 

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 March 31, 2019. 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 March 31, 2019, there was no material weakness in the Company’s internal control 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2019, 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)).
