NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking, healthcare, and financial services industries worldwide.  The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”), NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”), NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”), NTPK (Thailand) Co. Ltd (“NT Thai”) and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies, Ltd. (“NetSol PK”), NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (“Connect”), NetSol Innovation (Pvt) Limited (“EI”), and NetSol Omni (Private) Limited (“Omni”). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.
 
NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860 (previously SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”) , which requires additional information regarding transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810 (previously SFAS No. 167) for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. This Statement shall be effective for reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which is now part of ASC 105-10, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC 105-10) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168),  establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 105-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective from October 1, 2009, and do not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On December 15, 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition that will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 4 – EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
 
“Earnings per share” is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128)(ASC 260), “Earnings per share.”  Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

NOTE 5 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & FOREIGN CURRENCY
 
SFAS 130 (ASC 220) requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available for sale securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension liability, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders’ equity, to be included in other comprehensive income.  The accounts of NetSol UK and NTE use the British Pound; NetSol PK, Connect, Omni, and EI use Pakistan Rupees; Abraxas uses the Australian Dollar, and NT Thai use the Baht as the functional currencies.  NetSol Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary, NTNA, use the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the period. Accumulated translation losses, classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, were $8,193,790 and $6,899,397 as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, comprehensive gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations included translation loss of $(1,294,393) and $(4,036,926), respectively.

NOTE 9 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill.  The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows.  Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.  Potential impairment of goodwill has been evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142(ASC 350).
 
As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86 (ASC 985), “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.”  Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established.  Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.  Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
 
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product.  If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.  Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
 
Product licenses and customer lists were comprised of the following:

In 2008, the Company’s North American subsidiary, NTNA, had acquired an office space in Emeryville on a long term lease. However, due to the unprecedented recession in the year 2009, the company decided to cut costs by vacating the Emeryville office in October 2009 by terminating the lease. According to the requirements of SFAS 146 (ASC 420), the Company accounted for lease abandonment charge of $1,076,347 in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. However, as the vacated space has been leased by another company in the current quarter, an adjustment of $208,765 is made in the lease abandonment charge already provided in December 2009 resulting in reduction of the liability to $867,583 as of March 31, 2010.
 
Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of certain instruments held by the Company.  ASC Topic 820 et. seq., defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
·

NOTE 15 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

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

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

The Convertible Notes entered into by and between the Company and the Holders includes certain conditions.  Specifically, the Convertible Notes do not permit interest to be paid in shares of common stock if, at the time the interest is due the Equity Conditions, as defined therein, are not met, or there has been an Event of Default.  In such instances, the Company must make cash interest payments.  So long as the principal is due, the Company may not, without prior approval of 75% of the Holders, incur indebtedness senior to the Holders.  A failure to follow this covenant would result in an Event of Default.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any of the Notes, the Holder may declare all of the then outstanding principal amount of this note and all other notes held by the Holder, including any interest due thereon, to be due and payable immediately.  In the event of such acceleration, the Notes held by the Holder (plus all accrued and unpaid interest, if any) and (2) the product of (A) the highest closing price for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Holder’s acceleration and (B) the Conversion Ratio.  In either case, the Company shall pay interest on such amount in cash at the Default Rate to the Holder if such amount is not paid within 7 days of the Holder’s request.  The remedies under this Note shall be cumulative.  Failure to comply with the terms of the Note, the Purchase Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement may result in an Event of Default hereunder.  These notes carry anti-dilution clauses and, due to the issuance of $2,000,000 notes at a conversion price of $0.63 in August 2009, the conversion price of these notes was also adjusted downwards to $0.63 resulting in an additional BCF of $715,518. As of March 31, 2010, the total amount amortized for these notes was $341,645.

On August 14, 2009, one of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the terms therein to convert $200,000 worth of principal value of the notes into 317,460 shares of common stock.  This conversion reduced the total principal of the Convertible Notes to $5,800,000.  On October 12, 2009, three of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the terms therein, to convert principal and interest due thereon into a total of 809,393 shares of common stock.  On December 21, 2009, one of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the terms therein, to convert principal and interest due thereon into a total of 822,077 shares of common stock.  This conversion reduced the total principal of the Convertible Notes to $4,800,000.  On February 19, 2010, one of the Holders of the Convertible Notes elected, pursuant to the terms therein, to convert principal and interest due thereon into a total of 400,606 shares of common stock.  This conversion reduced the total principal of the Convertible Notes to $4,550,000.

On August 11, 2009, the Company entered into Convertible Notes with a principal value of $2,000,000, bearing interest at 9% per annum and convertible in one year at an initial conversion price of $0.63 per share (the “2009 Convertible Notes”).  The 2009 Convertible Notes are with the same two accredited investors who were the remaining Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stockholders.  The proceeds of the 2009 Convertible Notes were used exclusively for the redemption of the Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stockholders. The Company accounted for a BCF of $1,428,571 which will be amortized over the life of the contract.

 As on March 31, 2010, the total amount of BCF amortized for these notes was $1,253,582. Both of these convertible notes are recorded as net of unamortized BCF of $982,610 at March 31, 2010. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2010, interest was accrued in the amount of $620,186 on these Convertible Notes.

From March 10 to March 23, 2010, the Company entered into convertible promissory notes with five accredited non-U.S. investors.  These investors had pre-existing investor relationships with the Company.  The notes bear a total principal value of $1,500,000 and are due in full on the anniversary of each note.  The notes are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.15 per share and interest at the rate of 8% per annum payable at maturity.  The maturity date of the notes may be extended an additional year at the holders' and Company’s agreement. The fair market value of the shares at the date of signing was $0.90; therefore, no BCF expense was recorded on the transaction. These notes are classified as current maturity in the balance sheet.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, only unregistered shares of stock were sold at a discount from the market price as of the board approval date of $0.20 per share.  The agreements were subsequently amended to adjust the issue price at the closing bid price on the date before the agreement is fully executed with each employee. To accomplish this, the employees who had already purchased the shares were given the option to either adjust the consideration by decreasing the number of shares purchased to match the adjusted issue price, or by paying more money.  As a result of the adjustment a total of $1,866,100 would be due based on the shareholders elected adjustment.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company continues its efforts to both reduce redundancy and cohesively present services and product operations on a global basis. This consolidation enables the Company to coordinate and streamline product, service and marketing while taking further advantage of the cost arbitrage offered by our highly trained, highly productive, Pakistani resources.  This consolidation follows the successful integration of the operations acquired in the United Kingdom and the San Francisco Bay Area in California and facilitates the use of these regional offices as platforms for presenting an expanding services offering, relying on the experience and resources in Pakistan and our product offerings in North America and Europe.
 
The Company maintains offices in Alameda, California for North America and the parent headquarters in Calabasas, California; Horsham, United Kingdom, for Europe; and, our “center of excellence” operation in Lahore, Pakistan for Asia Pacific.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Management undertook major steps to counter the deep effect of global recession and in anticipation of economic recovery, such as:

 
Downsized the NTNA office in both cost and size by moving from Emeryville to Alameda, California. This annual reduction in rent would save an estimated $5 million over five years.
 
 
Implemented further cost rationalization in every subsidiary by further improving cost efficiencies and economies of scale.
 
 
Improved NetSol Financial Suite™ (NFS™)–NetSol’s suite of products, in its flexibility, robustness and compatibility to become a leading-edge solution for global markets. The new generation of NFS to be beta tested and rolled out regionally in North American markets.
 
Increased capital investment in main infrastructure to support the positive turn around in global economy for next two years. This will position NetSol strategically to manage the growth in 2011 and thereafter.

 
In fiscal 2009, the Company restructured the corporate finance team at the headquarters by promoting Mr. Boo-Ali Siddiqui, CFO of NetSol PK (a 5 year veteran with NetSol), to global CFO for NetSol Technologies, Inc. In addition, the Company added an experienced controller to support the newly appointed CFO.
 
 
The concept of Global Delivery model was successfully implemented in 2009 with local delivery and clients support in each major market. This model has further matured and streamlined in 2010 resulting in improved gross margins as well as effective training and transfer of domain expertise and knowledge. In essence the concept of BestShoring model is effectively being executed.
 
 
Revamped sales organization from several departments into one group. The newly created global sales organization under one president of global sales, centrally headquartered in the UK, provides much improved visibility and traction in all key markets worldwide. In addition to achieving critical mass and visibility, regional sales heads have been created to directly report to President Group Sales.
 
 
The Company appointed Mr. Imran Haider as the new Chief Operating Officer for NTNA  The new COO brings broad experience and extensive product knowledge as an 8 year veteran in the NetSol APAC region. Mr. Haider is one of the most senior and accomplished business executive with NetSol.
 
 
While some marketing and new project activities were slowed down due to the poor economy, the Company’s new product research and development activities have increased. Management’s vision is that a one product, global solution, will place NetSol in the next level of critical mass solutions providers.
 
 
Marketing and sales efforts are now accelerated to effectively generate new leads and ramp up business going into 2011.

Business Development Activities:

 
·
Earlier in 2009, NetSol signed a joint venture agreement with a major Saudi Arabian business conglomerate representing a major break-through for the Company.  The joint venture is a relationship between NetSol Technologies, Inc. and the Atheeb Group (“Atheeb”) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”). NetSol owns 51% and Atheeb Trading Company owns 49% of the newly created Atheeb NetSol Saudi Company, Ltd.  based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Atheeb has been in operation since 1985 and has major businesses in defense, public works, telecom, financial, transportation and agriculture. By partnering with Atheeb through a joint venture, NetSol gains access to not only major local projects in key sectors but also to regional economies in the Gulf States, Central Asia and Africa. The influence and reputation of Atheeb in the KSA and regional markets is compelling, and NetSol expects to benefit handsomely in coming years. The joint venture will fully utilize NetSol PK’s Lahore based center of excellence, CMMi Level 5 technology campus. The first IT project was awarded to NetSol by Atheeb Group pending finalization of the formation of Atheeb NetSol Saudi Company Limited (ANSCL). The formation of ANSCL was complete in March 2010 and is expected to begin business activities in the region.

·
The ANSCL management team is led by Mr. Abdulaziz Alabad as CEO who was appointed along with senior operational management from NetSol and Atheeb. A seven member board was installed with three members each from NetSol and Atheeb, while the HRH Prince Abdulaziz B. Abdulaziz, CEO of Atheeb Group has been appointed as Chairman of ANSCL. The new company has already started the business development activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by participating in various public and private sector projects.

 
·
The acquisition of Ciena Solutions for the inclusion of SAP services has been effectively integrated with NetSol’s operations. Our new SAP services and offerings are being marketed to our existing US based clients and new markets to establish a key new vertical.   The US clients list includes a major energy utility company in California. Additionally, we believe a majority of NetSol global clients could benefit from SAP services and solutions. The Company has conducted beta testing of its product, smartOCI™, a search engine to expand its SAP product portfolio. The practice was recently awarded SAP PartnerEdge status as an SAP services partner. Smart OCI will be launched and demonstrated in Sapphire exposition in Orlando, Florida in May 16-19, 2010.

 
·
By expanding into the Americas, NetSol sees a strong opportunity to establish its brand recognition and create critical mass in the Americas.   Despite the recession and consolidations in the U.S., NetSol has embarked on an aggressive strategy to reposition and rebrand NetSol for the U.S markets. For example, NetSol is strategically rolling out offerings of the NetSol Financial Suite™ to our global auto manufacturers, whether captive or non-captive, in the North and South American markets.   NetSol sees a new market in Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica and many countries in Latin America as both mature and emerging markets are ripe for our flagship NFS™ applications. NetSol added two new global customers to the Americas in Nissan’s North America and Mexican operations.

 
·
NetSol’s recent successes in China are proof of management’s anticipation of major growth in the Chinese market as China continues to have the strongest economic indicators amongst the major industrial countries. China is the third largest economic power and its auto and banking sectors are growing at a dynamic pace, unlike the western markets. The small presence of NetSol in Beijing, China has started to grow to nearly 20 staff with hiring of both local and non-local personnel. Our current five multi-national customers in China have begun to expand their relationship with NetSol. We recently signed new deals with a multinational auto companies and with Minsheng Bank, one of the largest in China.   Management anticipates that the NFS™ products will demonstrate a noted break through with Chinese companies in coming months. While we are witnessing a surge for NFS™, the pipeline is growing very impressively with more than 9 major customers now.  Delivery and implementation for Minsheng Bank is expected in late May 2010.  Management believes this provides an excellent reference point to the large  banking sector in China.

 
·
NetSol has further expanded its footprint in South East Asia by growing its office and staff in the Bangkok office. Due to the growing demand of NFS™ in the region, the Company has formalized the registration of a NTPK (Thailand) Ltd., (NT Thai) to specifically cater to these growing opportunities in Thailand and the region.

 
·
After a slump in sales in UK and European markets, NTE recently won new contracts in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Although the NTE team has been effectively scaled down, we are encouraged with new enhancements and services requests by NTE’s existing clients in UK.

 
·
Launching successfully in Business Intelligence and Information Security verticals, as new practices. We foresee sound new revenues in this very lucrative market worldwide. NetSol is experiencing serious interest from Chinese companies for BI solutions.

 
·
Increased activity in some high valued public sectors projects in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan. NetSol PK has created a focused and dedicated team in Karachi and Islamabad to effectively participate in major IT and services related projects through public tendering process. As a highly regarded IT company in Pakistan, NetSol PK has been invited, on a prequalified basis, to bid on these high value contracts.

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

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

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

Positive trends:

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

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

 
·
China has become the third largest economy and has grown to over 9% GDP while other industrial nations have declined or grown marginally.

 
·
China’s automobile and banking sectors have been less affected by the global meltdown and in fact have outgrown all other economies with their recent automobile sales statistics.

 
·
According to a recent article in the Economist (November 2009), China's GDP has increased by 10.7% annual rate in the 4th quarter of 2009 and the overall rate of growth for the year was 8.7%. China has passed Germany to become the world's largest trading nation, and is anticipated in the first quarter of 2010 to overtake Japan as the world's second largest economy.

 
·
The surviving IT companies, such as NetSol, with price advantage and a global presence, will gain further momentum as economic indicators turn positive. The bigger customers and targeted verticals are much more cost conscious and are seeking a better rate of return on investments in IT services. NetSol has an edge due to its BestShoring® model and proven track record of delivery and implementations worldwide.

 
·
NetSol survived the most challenging economic times in 2008-2009 because of its product demands and dependency of customers. The Company has well maintained 100% delivery execution for years and has never lost a product customer.

 
·
The 30 year long term strategic planning to transform the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia into a most developed and diversified nation in the Middle East region, offers infinite opportunities. The KSA is one of the most well capitalized nations, with a massive cash surplus.

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

 
·
The surge of joint ventures in emerging markets is growing and is beneficial for both parties, representing strengths with core competencies without any overlap. Thus, mitigating the risk of starting fresh in untested territories with modest investments.

 
·
The aid and support of trade in Pakistan from countries like the US, China, Saudi Arabia and other western and friendly countries seems to be growing recently. This will positively affect NetSol, local employees and customers worldwide. Pakistan has every potential to rise up as the plans for energy, power, agriculture and infrastructures (including 12 new dams to be built by Chinese companies) creates a much better outlook and growth for Pakistan.

 
Page 34               

 

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

 
·
The recently passed Kerry-Lugar Aid Law, providing $7.5 billion in aid to Pakistan for improving security, education, infrastructure and law and order, will further help local and foreign companies operating in Pakistan.

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

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

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

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

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

Negative trends/Risk Factors:

 
·
A potential domino effect of the Greek debt crisis prolonging the recession in the European economy.

 
·
Continued liquidity crunch and credit restrictions for consumers, resulting in corporate spending on IT budgets being curtailed or delayed and elongating decision making cycles.

 
·
Corporate earnings losses and liquidity crunch causing delays in the receivables from customers and partners.

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

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

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

 
·
Pakistan’s struggle with militants and extremists as well as the domestic political unrest amongst the three major parties is a major challenge creating uncertainty about the country’s stability

 
·
Our customer, Toyota’s recall of several million vehicles and the likely negative effect of this recall on their projected sales in the coming months.

 
·
We cannot predict the impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business and operating results.

CASH RESOURCES
We were successful in maintaining our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2009, with $4.4 million in cash worldwide. As of March 31, 2010, our cash position was $4.27 million worldwide.

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired.  As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of” which requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset.  The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.

INCOME TAXES

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method.  Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets generated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced in part by a valuation allowance.  We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.

Net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $8,932,956 as compared to $5,023,021 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This reflects an increase of $3,909,935, or 78%, in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and implementation, increased 17% from $3,033,684 to $3,548,348. License revenues increased 1022% from $324,845 to $3,644,809. Maintenance revenues grew by 5% over the comparable quarter in fiscal 2009.

The gross profit was $5,477,017 in the quarter ending March 31, 2010, as compared with $539,386 for the same quarter of the previous year, an increase of 915% or $4,937,631. The gross profit percentage for the quarter increased to 61.31% from 10.74% in the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The cost of sales was $3,455,939 in the current quarter compared to $4,483,635 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2009.  The steep rise of gross margins is the result of increase in new license sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased from 89.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to 38.69% in the current quarter.  Salaries and consultant fees decreased by $474,712, from $2,629,081 in the prior comparable quarter, to $2,154,369, and as a percentage of sales, it decreased from 52.34%, in the prior comparable quarter, to 24.12% in the current quarter.

Operating expenses were $2,896,038 for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, as compared to $4,796,878, for the corresponding period last year for a decrease of $1,900,840. The decrease of operating expenses in this period is mostly due to a bad debt  provision expense of $1,772,188 which was taken in the same period of last year, while salaries and wages slightly reduced by approximately $27,661 in the quarter. The operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased from 96% to 32%.

Page 41               

 

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 have the following capital needs:

 
·
Working capital of $4.0 to $6.0 million for U.S, China, Thailand and Saudi Arabia new business development activities.

While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to the Company, we would be prudent to explore raising capital through equity based financing, bank financing, and warrant and option exercises. We plan to use some of our internal cash flow to meet certain obligations as mentioned above.  However, the Company is very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.
