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 and financial services
industries worldwide. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange
for fees from customers.
The
consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.
These
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the
information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 2004. 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 (PVT), Ltd. (“PK
Tech”), NetSol (PVT), Limited (“PK Private”), NetSol CONNECT (PVT), Ltd. (now,
NetSol Akhter Pvt. Ltd.) (“Connect”), NetSol Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd., NetSol
USA and NetSol Technologies UK, Ltd. All material inter-company accounts have
been eliminated in 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:
On May
15, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement
No. 150 (FAS 150), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. FAS 150 changes the accounting
for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, could be
classified as equity or "mezzanine" equity, by now requiring those instruments
to be classified as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) in the
statement of financial position. Further, FAS 150 requires disclosure regarding
the terms of those instruments and settlement alternatives. FAS 150 affects an
entity's classification of the following freestanding instruments: a)
Mandatorily redeemable instruments b) Financial instruments to repurchase an
entity's own equity instruments c) Financial instruments embodying obligations
that the issuer must or could choose to settle by issuing a variable number of
its shares or other equity instruments based solely on (i) a fixed monetary
amount known at inception or (ii) something other than changes in its own equity
instruments d) FAS 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial
instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. The guidance in FAS 150 is
generally effective for all financial instruments entered into or modified after
May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. For private companies, mandatorily
redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of FAS 150 for
the fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No.
150 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations or cash flows.
In
December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R).
FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of
consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves
comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those
activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does
not hold any variable interest entities.
In March
2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No.
03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to
Certain Investments.” The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that
should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether
that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment
loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under
SFAS No. 115, “ACCOUNTING IN CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES.”
EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition
of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about
unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary
impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for
investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of
EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual
reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company will evaluate the impact of EITF
03-01 once final guidance is issued.
In April
of 2004, the EITF reached consensus on the guidance provided in EITF Issue No.
03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS No. 128
Earnings Per Share” (“EITF 03-6”). EITF 03-6 clarifies whether a security should
be considered a “participating security” for purposes of computing earnings per
share (“EPS”) and how earnings should be allocated to a “participating security”
when using the two-class method for computing basic EPS. The adoption of EITF
03-6 does not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
In May of
2004, the FASB revised FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 106-1, “Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003” and issued FSP No. 106-2, “Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003” (“FSP No. 106-2”). FSP 106-2 provides accounting
guidance to the employers who sponsor post retirement health care plans that
provide prescription drug benefits; and the prescription drug benefit provided
by the employer is “actuarially equivalent” to Medicare Part D and hence
qualifies for the subsidy under the Medicare amendment act. The adoption of FSP
106-2 does not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 105, “APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO LOAN
COMMITMENTS,” summarizes the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to loan commitments
accounted for as derivative instruments. SAB No.105 provides that the fair value
of recorded loan commitments that are accounted for as derivatives under SFAS
No. 133, “ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES,” should
not incorporate the expected future cash flows related to the associated
servicing of the future loan. In addition, SAB No. 105 requires registrants to
disclose their accounting policy for loan commitments. The provisions of SAB No.
105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are
entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of this accounting standard does
not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE
4 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:
Net loss
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting
standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. Basic net loss
per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net loss 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
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 after July 1, 2002 has been evaluated in accordance with SFAS
No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to the financial statements of
the Company beginning July 1, 2002.
As part
of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software
development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred
internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to
an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and
development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product
is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and
reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value.
Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general
release to customers.
The
Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized
software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the
estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that
the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the
Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development
costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software
development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue
associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three
years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.

NOTE
10 - LITIGATION:
On March
3, 2004 Uecker and Associates, Inc. as the assignee for the benefit of the
creditors of PGC Systems, Inc. formerly known as Portera Systems, Inc. filed a
request for arbitration demanding payment from NetSol for the amounts due under
a software agreement in the amount of $175,700. On March 31, 2004, the Company
filed an answering statement to the request of Uecker & Associates denying
each and every allegation contained in the Claim filed by Uecker &
Associates and stating NetSol’s affirmative defenses. The claim is being settled
by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The
parties selected an arbitrator in April 2004; however, due to demands to her
schedule, in August 2004, AAA requested that the parties select another
arbitrator. The parties have selected a new arbitrator. A preliminary hearing
was set with the new arbitrator on September 29, 2004. Discovery deadlines and
motion deadlines were set by the new arbitrator. Dates for the arbitration
hearing have been set for November 15 and 16, 2004. NetSol intends to vigorously
defend this action.
NOTE
11 - GOING CONCERN:
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2004, the
Company had net working capital of $1,092,079, and an accumulated deficit of
$30,775,441. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management
recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to
continue operations. In the current period, the Company realized a significant
increase in net revenues. Management is taking steps to continue comparable
revenue increases in the upcoming periods. Management is also continuing to
pursue cost cutting measures at every entity level. Additionally, management’s
plans include the sale of additional equity securities and debt financing from
related parties and outside third parties. However, of course, no assurance can
be guaranteed that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital
or continue the current growth trend in net revenues. Further, there can be no
assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional equity, that the
Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow.

Company has recorded this as a contra-account against the loan balance and is
amortizing the beneficial conversion feature over the life of the loan. The net
balance at September 30, 2004, is $825,000.
Under the

October 2004, a private placement was made for the purchase of 200,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock for $200,000 cash.
NOTE
17- RESTATEMENT
Subsequent
to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the three months ended
September 30, 2004, the Company determined that certain transactions and
presentation in the financial statements had not been accounted for properly in
the Company's financial statements. Specifically, the amount of impairment of
goodwill was over-recorded.
The
Company has restated its financial statements for these adjustments as of
September 30, 2004 and 2003.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis Or Plan Of
Operation
The
following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company's
financial position and results of operations for the quarter and three months
ending September 30, 2004.
Forward-Looking
Information.
This
report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to
the Company that is based on the beliefs of its management as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to its management. When
used in this report, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect",
"intend", "plan", and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements reflect management's current view of the Company with respect to
future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The Company's
realization of its business aims could be materially and adversely affected by
any technical or other problems in, or difficulties with, planned funding and
technologies, third party technologies which render the Company's technologies
obsolete, the unavailability of required third party technology licenses on
commercially reasonable terms, the loss of key research and development
personnel, the inability or failure to recruit and retain qualified research and
development personnel, or the adoption of technology standards which are
different from technologies around which the Company's business ultimately is
built. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking
statements.
INTRODUCTION
NetSol is
an end-to-end information technology (“IT”) and business consulting services
provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries.
Operating on a global basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, India, East Asia
and Asia Pacific, the Company helps its clients identify, evaluate, and
implement technology solutions to meet their most critical business challenges
and maximize their bottom line. The Company’s products include sophisticated
software applications for the asset-based lease and finance industry, and with
the acquisition of Pearl Treasury Systems, the “PTS System” designed to
seamlessly handle foreign exchange and money market trading for use by financial
institutions and customers.
The
Company’s IP backbone, located in Karachi, Pakistan at our subsidiary, Network
Technologies Pvt. Ltd., develops the majority of the Company’s software and has
achieved the ISO 9001 and Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity
Model Level 3 software development assessment. The economies of scale presented
by our Pakistani operations have permitted the Company to capitalize on the
upward trend in information technology outsourcing. Economic pressures have
driven more companies to outsource major elements of their IT operations,
particularly application development and technology consulting. NetSol has
capitalized on this market trend by providing an off-shore development model at
costs well below those of companies located in India, Europe and the United
States.
Together
with this focus on providing an outsourcing, off-shore solution to existing and
new customers, NetSol has also adopted a dynamic growth strategy through
accretive acquisitions.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Management
has set the following new goals for the Company’s next 12 months.
Initiatives

aggressively market its products and services with its strong
infrastructure, brand name and resources in this
region. |
· |
Aggressive
new business development activities in UK and European markets through
organic growth, new alliances and mergers and
acquisition. |
Top Line

markets. |
With
these goals in mind, the Company entered in to the following significant and new
strategic alliances and relationships:
LeaseSoft
Distributors. NetSol
is also very active in appointing key distributors in Japan, Asia and in Europe
for its LeaseSoft products. As soon we have signed these agreements, the
shareholders will be notified through press releases.
DaimlerChrysler. NetSol
signed a global frame agreement with DaimlerChrysler, Germany for LeaseSoft
products and services that now expands the marketing reach to over 60 countries.
DaimlerChrysler as a group represent the largest customers for
NetSol.
Intel
Corporation. NetSol
forged what management believes to be a very important and strategic alliance
with Intel Corporation to develop a blueprint that would give broader exposure
and introduction to NetSol’s LeaseSoft products to a global market. NetSol
recently attended major events in China and in San Francisco through its Intel
relationship, which was designed to connect and introduce the Company to Intel
partners worldwide.
Investment
Banking Relations. The
relationship with Maxim Group, LLC, NetSol’s investment banker located in New
York, continues to grow as the bank has effectively raised new capital and has
been assisting the Company in executing its M&A and growth strategy. NetSol
UK, the Company’s wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary, has engaged The Altra
Group, a local M&A company to assist it in identifying opportunities in the
European markets.
Launch
of Indian Subsidiary. On March
17, 2004, NetSol announced that it
has launched a wholly-owned subsidiary, NetSol International Pvt. Ltd., in
Bangalore, India. NetSol established this subsidiary as a service delivery base
for legacy systems migration, IT consultancy and certain software engineering
skills that are more readily available in India. The Indian IT-enabled services
business produces over $12 billion in export earnings and is growing at over 20%
annually. By establishing the Indian subsidiary, NetSol hopes to tap into the
growing Indian market.
Funding
and Investor Relations.
· |
The
Company is exploring various means and most cost efficient methods to
inject new capital for the explosive growth it is experiencing. Our focus
is in emerging capital markets, UK and USA.
|
· |
Continue
to raise capital at attractive terms through private placements offering
restricted securities, convertible debt debentures and, as needed, new
public offerings, for its many initiatives and programs. Several of the
Company’s current institutional investors based in the UK and USA have
regularly participated through new private placement transactions or by
exercising their warrants or converting their notes into NetSol restricted
common shares. |
· |
Infuse
new capital from potential exercise of outstanding investor warrants and
employees options for business development and enhancement of
infrastructures. |
· |
Continuing
to efficiently and prudently manage cash requirements and raise capital
from the markets only as it deems absolutely necessary to execute the
growth strategy. |
· |
NetSol
has engaged a brokerage house in New York for new investor relations and
company coverage. Just recently they initiated and distributed research
coverage of NetSol with a ‘buy’ rating. |
Improving
the Bottom Line.
· |
Continue
to review costs at every level and take appropriate steps to further
reduce operating overheads. |
· |
Discontinue
any programs, projects or offices that are not producing desirable and
positive results. |
· |
Grow
process automation. |
· |
Profit
Centric Management Incentives. |
· |
More
local empowerment and P&L Ownership in each Country
Office. |
· |
Improve
productivity at the development facility and business development
activities. |
· |
Cost
efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation
to improve bottom line. |
· |
Improve
prices of all our product offerings, yet maintain the competitiveness.
This will further improve gross margins across the
board. |
After
streamlining key operations, Management believes that NetSol is in a position to
derive higher productivity based on current capital employed. Nonetheless, as
the business ramps up, management anticipates the need to hire additional
personnel.
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, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal
processes. Management believes that further leverage was provided by the
development ‘engine’ of NetSol, which became CMM Level 2 in early 2002. In a
quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol reached CMM Level 3
assessment in July 2003. According to the website of SEI of Carnegie Mellon
University, USA, only a few software companies in the world have announced their
assessment of level 3. As a result of achieving CMM level 3, the Company is
experiencing a growing demand for its products and alliances from blue chip
companies worldwide. NetSol is now aiming for CMM level 4 in 2004 and
potentially CMM level 5, the highest CMM level, in 2005. NetSol plans to further
enhance its capabilities by creating similar development engines in other
Southeast Asian countries with CMM levels quality standards. This would make
NetSol much more competitive in the industry and provide the capabilities for
development in multiple locations. Increases in the number of development
locations with these CMM levels of quality standards will provide customers with
options and flexibility based on costs and broader access to skills and
technology.
MATERIAL
TRENDS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
NetSol
has identified the following material trends affecting the Company
Positive
trends:
· |
Outsourcing
of services and software development is growing
worldwide. |
·
|
The
Global IT budgets are estimated to exceed $1.2 trillion in 2004, according
to the internal estimates of Intel Corporation. About 50% of this IT
budget would be consumed in the U.S. market alone primarily on the people
and processes. |
·
|
Burgeoning
Chinese markets and economic boom. |
·
|
Overall
economic expansion worldwide and explosive growth in the merging markets
specifically. |
·
|
Regional
stability and improving political environment between Pakistan and
India. |
·
|
Economic
turnaround in Pakistan including: a steady increase in gross domestic
product; much stronger dollar reserves, which is at an all time high of
over $13 billion; stabilizing reforms of government and financial
institutions; improved credit ratings in the western markets, and strong
stock markets. |
·
|
Pakistan’s
continuous fight against extremism and terrorism in the region, boosting
confidence of foreign investors and
companies. |
·
|
Major
turnarounds in the telecom sector as new opportunities are arising due to
privatization, new incentives, reduction of bandwidth prices and
tariffs. |
Negative
trends:
·
|
The
disturbance in Middle East and rising terrorist activities post 9/11
worldwide have resulted in issuance of travel advisory in some of the most
opportunistic markets. In addition, travel restrictions and new
immigration laws provide delays and limitations on business travel.
|
·
|
The
potential impact of higher U.S. interest rates including, but not limited
to, fear of inflation that may drive down IT budges and spending by U.S.
companies. |
·
|
Higher
oil prices worldwide may slow down the global economy causing delays in
new orders and reduction in budgets. |
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our
financial statements and related public financial information are based on the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and
subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the
assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also
affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the
Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial
condition. Management believes our use of estimates and underlying accounting
assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied.
Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism
on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where our financial
information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application
of judgment include our evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the
recoverability of deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether
these assets are likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ
materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We
continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our
financial statements.
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. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” 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. 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 fiscal year 2004-2005, we estimated the allowance on net
deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax
assets.

This
reflects an increase of $1,085,693 or 111.63% in the current quarter as compared
to the quarter ended September 30, 2003. The increase is attributable to new
orders of licenses and an increase in services business, including additional
maintenance work. The Company’s biggest revenue growth was achieved in all three
of its Pakistan based subsidiaries, which generated sales both domestically and
internationally. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT
services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. The export licenses of LeaseSoft
and maintenance related services surged primarily due to the most recent
endorsement by our biggest customer DaimlerChrysler of Germany. NetSol and
DaimlerChrysler signed a global frame agreement that added new revenues and
assisted in acquiring new customers such as Toyota Leasing Thailand and
Mauritius Commercial Bank.
Our
telecom company, NetSol Akhter, added its 50th new
corporate customer in Pakistan which customers include, but are not limited to:
AKD Securities, Reuters and, Marriot Hotels.
Its U.S.
subsidiary, NetSol Altvia, has created a growing niche in the “not-for-profit”
business space in the Washington D.C. area. The Washington D.C. area office
continues to sign new business for both its Knowledge Base Product and
professional services. NetSol USA has been managing several projects with
Seattle based Capital Stream since November 2003. Overall, NetSol USA has
generated revenue in excess of $600,000 with margins exceeding 40%.
NetSol UK
continues its business development activities and has seen good traction in its
sales pipeline. NetSol UK added a very strategic new customer TiG (“The
Innovation Group”), a publicly listed UK company. We believe our relationship
with TiG will yield significant new recurring revenues to the subsidiary. NetSol
UK has ongoing relationships with Habib Allied Bank and DCD Group. These
relationships are bringing recurring revenues and are expected to continue in
the near term.
As a
direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems
with DaimlerChrysler, we are noticing an increasing demand for LeaseSoft.
Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a
100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip
companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe and Pakistan. The crown jewel of
our product line “CMS’ (“Contract Management System”) which was sold to three
companies of DaimlerChrysler Asia Pacific Region in 2001 for a combined value in
excess of two million dollars was implemented and delivered to customers in
2003. Based on ELA, (Equipment and Leasing Association of N. America) the size
of the world market for the leasing and financing industry is in excess of $500
billion of which the software sector represents over a billion dollars. A number
of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This
places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT
spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell several new
licenses in fiscal year 2005 that could potentially increase the sales and
bottom line. As the Company sells more of these licenses, management believes it
is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices
of these products vary from $100,000 to $500,000 with additional charges for
customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year. The Company, in
parallel, has developed banking applications software to boost its product line
and these systems were sold to Citibank and Askari Banks in Pakistan in 2002.
New customers in the banking sector are also growing and the Company expects
substantial growth in this area in the coming year.
The gross
profit was $1,306,658 in the quarter ending September 30, 2004 as compared with
$512,235 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of 794,423.
The gross profit percentage has increased to approximately 63% in the quarter
ended September 30, 2004 from approximately 53% for the quarter ended September
30, 2003. In comparison to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2004, the cost of
sales decreased approximately $259,194 and revenues increased $190,974, an
overall increase 52% in gross profit.
Operating
expenses were $1,164,592 for the
quarter ending September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,234,667 for the
corresponding period last year. The increase is selling and marketing expenses
and salaries was offset by a similar decrease in general and administrative
expenses and professional fees. The Company has streamlined its operations by
consolidation, divestment and enhanced operating efficiencies. Depreciation and
amortization expense amounted to $306,158 and
$305,135 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Combined salaries and
wage costs were $347,237 and $315,540 for the comparable periods, respectively,
or an increase of $31,697 from the corresponding period last year.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $119,348 and $19,222, in the quarter ended September
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflecting the growing sales activity of the
Company. The Company wrote-off as uncollectible bad debts of $0 in the current
quarter compared to $52,318 for the comparable prior period in the prior year.
Professional services expense increased to $114,334 in the quarter ended

year.
Income
from operations was $142,066 compared

respectively. This represents a decrease of $972,164 for the
quarter compared with the comparable period in the prior year. This is directly
due to reduction of operational expenses and improved gross
margins.
Net
income was $142,024 compared to net losses of $722,432 for the quarters ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This is a reduction of 120% compared
to the prior year. The add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol
Connect owned by another party was $15,068 compared to $35,309. During the
current quarter, the Company also recognized an expense of $37,500 for the
beneficial conversion feature on convertible debentures, an expense of $28,024
for the fair market value of warrants issued and a gain of $50,274 from the

The net
EBITDA income was $448,182 compared to loss of $455,549 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $306,158 and $305,135 respectively. Although the net
EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the
benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their
decision-making process.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company's cash position was $204,850 at September 30, 2004 compared to $292,528
at September 30, 2003. In addition the Company had $141,403 in certificates of
deposit, of which $121,163 is being used as collateral for the financing of the
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. In October 2004, the balance of
the loan for the insurance was paid off and the certificate released. The total
cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was $346,253 as of
September 30, 2004.
Net cash
used for operating activities amounted to $1,062,227 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004, as compared to $1,086,059 for the comparable period last
fiscal year. The increase is mainly due to an increase in prepaid expenses and
accounts receivable. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease of $564,159
in its accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash
provided by investing activities amounted to $236,614 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004, as compared to using $268,004 for the comparable period last
fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the net proceeds of $250,000 in
certificates of deposits in the current fiscal year compared to purchases of
$520,000 in the prior year. During the current fiscal year, an additional
$191,606 was infused into the Company’s minority interest in the Company’s
subsidiary NetSol Connect. In addition, the Company had net purchases of
property and equipment of $127,002 compared to net sales of $51,996 for the
comparable period last fiscal year.
Net cash
provided by financing activities amounted to $137,329 and $1,491,711 for the
quarters ended September 30, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The quarter ended
September 30, 2004 included the cash inflow of $220,000 compared to $1,112,050
from issuance of equity and $0 compared to $238,250 from the exercising of stock
options and warrants. In the current fiscal period, the Company had net payments
on loans and capital leases of $30,967 as compared to net proceeds of $141,411
in the comparable period last year.
The
management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and
future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In
addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of investor warrants and
employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. The cash position
has declined in the last quarter as compared with quarter ended in June 30,
2004. This was primarily due to new capital raised in the quarter ended in June
30, 2004. During the current quarter, management reduced the current liabilities
significantly by paying down these obligations. Management anticipates receiving
proceeds from option exercises in the coming months and will continue to explore
the best possible means and terms to raise new capital . Management is confident
of being able to strengthen its cash position and further improve the liquidity
position. Management is committed to implementing the growth business strategy
that was ratified by the board of directors in December 2003. The Company would
continue to inject new capital towards expansion, growing sales and marketing
and further enhancement of delivery capabilities. However, management is
committed to ensuring the most efficient and cost effective means of raising
capital and utilization.
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 next 12 months, we have following capital
needs:
· |
Injection
of new capital of up to $500,000 in a strategic joint-venture of
NetSol-TiG. This partnership serves to outsource TiG’s software
development business to our offshore-based development facility.
|
· |
New
capital requirement for NetSol Akhter, the telecom division in an amount
up to $2.0 million as required by the agreement with
Akhter. |
· |
Working
capital of $1.0 million for debts payments, new business development
activities and infrastructure enhancements. |
While
there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising
sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on
terms acceptable to the Company, we will consider raising capital through the
following methods: equity based financing; warrant and option
exercises.
The
methods of raising funds for capital needs may differ based on the following:
· |
stock
volatility due to market conditions in general and NetSol stock
performance in particular. This may cause a shift in our approach to raise
new capital through other sources such as secured long term
debt. |
· |
Analysis
of the cost of raising capital in the U.S., Europe or emerging markets. By
way of example only, if the cost of raising capital is high in one market
and it may negatively affect the company’s stock performance, we may
explore options available in other markets.
|
Should
global or other general macro economic factors cause an adverse climate, we
would defer new financing and use internal cash flow for capital
expenditures.

1. Legal Proceedings
On March
3, 2004 Uecker and Associates, Inc. as the assignee for the benefit of the
creditors of PGC Systems, Inc. formerly known as Portera Systems, Inc. filed a
request for arbitration demanding payment from NetSol for the amounts due under
a software agreement in the amount of $175,700. On March 31, 2004, we filed an
answering statement to the request of Uecker & Associates denying each and
every allegation contained in the Claim filed by Uecker & Associates and
stating NetSol’s affirmative defenses. The claim is being settled by binding
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA). The parties
selected an arbitrator in April 2004; however, due to demands to her schedule,
in August 2004, AAA requested that the parties select another arbitrator. The
parties selected a new arbitrator. A preliminary hearing was set with the new
arbitrator on September 29, 2004. The Parties entered into a Settlement
Agreement in November 2004, whereby NetSol is to pay a one time payment of

prejudice on this matter.
