NETSOL
TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 amended annual report on
Form 10-KSB/A 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 Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd.
(“NetSol Abraxas”), NetSol USA, NetSol Technologies UK, Ltd. (“NetSol UK”), and
CQ Systems Ltd.(“CQ Systems”), as well as the subsidiaries in which the Company
owns a controlling percentage, NetSol CONNECT (PVT), Ltd. (now, NetSol Akhter
Pvt. Ltd.) (“Connect”), and TiG-NetSol (Pvt) Ltd. (“NetSol-TiG”). 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:
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
December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires
companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value
of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS
No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2006.
The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its
financial statements.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of
Non-monetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to
eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets
and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of
this standard will have no material impact on its 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.

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, 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 4 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.

With
these goals in mind, the Company entered in to the following significant and new
strategic alliances and relationships:
CQ
Systems Ltd. On
January 19, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CQ Systems Ltd., a company
organized under the laws of England and Wales. The acquisition closed in
February 2005. CQ Systems’ business model complements the Company’s growth
strategy. CQ Systems’ product offering is synergistic to that of the Company, as
it has an established and balanced mix of recurring revenue flow form the
European marketplace, and a strong foothold with a comparable target audience.
The Company believes the acquisition will facilitate considerable growth within
the European marketplace as we blend and expand our product offering by
leveraging our offshore technology infrastructure to contain costs and improve
margins.
TiG
Joint Venture. In
December 2004, NetSol forged a new and a strategic relationship with a UK based
public company TIG Plc. A new Joint Venture was signed by the two companies to
create a new company, TiG NetSol Pvt Ltd., with 50.1% ownership by NetSol
Technologies, Inc. and 49.9% ownership by TiG. The creation of this joint
venture would provide new revenues for NetSol as TiG plans to outsource the
development load to NetSol through this joint venture. According to recent
figures of TiG, they have approximate revenue of over $120 million of which
approximately $50 million of that revenue is generated from technology business.
Both companies anticipate much of TiG’s technology business to be outsourced to
NetSol’s offshore development facility in the next few years. Both companies,
according to this agreement, would invest a total of $1 million or $500, 000
each in next few months for infrastructure, dedicated personnel and system in
the NetSol IT campus in Lahore. At least two floors in the campus are being
dedicated for this partnership in Lahore. The joint-venture began operations
during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
LeaseSoft
Distributors. NetSol
is also very active in appointing key distributors in South East 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. Since the
signing of global frame agreement in summer 2004, NetSol has sold a few new
Leasesoft licenses to some new markets and new customers such as Toyota Leasing
Thailand and Mauritius Commercial Bank. The pipeline for new sales of Lease soft
is very healthy in all these markets
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.
Funding
and Investor Relations.
· |
The
Company’s current positive cash flow based primarily on the addition of CQ
Systems and continued organic growth. The Company’s aim is to continue to
further strengthen the balance sheet and cash reserves in order to attract
large customers world wide. |
· |
The
Company continues to explore various means and most cost efficient methods
to inject new capital for the growth it is experiencing. With this in
mind, and pursuant to an agreement with AKD Securities, the Company has
proceeded with the IPO of the shares of common stock of NetSol
Technologies Ltd., its subsidiary located in Lahore, Pakistan on the
Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). Over $1.5 million was raised in the pre-IPO
private placement which will be followed by the Initial Public Offering
which is anticipated to raise approximately $4.5 million.
|
· |
Infuse
new capital from potential exercise of outstanding investor warrants and
employees options for business development and enhancement of
infrastructures. |
· |
NetSol
has engaged Westrock Advisors LLC, in New York for new investor relations
and company coverage |
· |
NetSol’s
continued profitability has permitted the Company to develop opportunities
to introduce the Company to small cap funds and institutions in the U.S.
Market. This effort is assisted and coordinated by its investment advisor,
Maxim Group LLC, our investor relations consultant, McCloud Communications
and, newly hired consultants, SGI
International. |
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. |
· |
Consistently
improving quality standards and work to achieve CMMi Level 5 standard by
sometime in 2006. |
· |
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. |
· |
Further
consolidating the subsidiaries by combining and integrating operating
units. |
· |
Effectively
and efficiently integrate both back end and front end operations of CQ
Systems with NetSol. This would improve margins, reduce fixed costs of
developments and simply introduce newer cost efficiencies based on both
companies strengths of processes and good business
practices |
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 4
assessment in December 2004. 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 4. Now, as a result of achieving CMM level 4, the Company is
experiencing a growing demand for its products and alliances from blue chip
companies worldwide. NetSol is now aiming for CMM level 5, the highest CMM
level, potentially as early as 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, Asian markets in general 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. |
· |
The
stability in economic, political and business fronts in Pakistan has
opened numerous new opportunities particularly in the telecom and private
sectors. |
· |
Steady
increase in foreign direct investments in Pakistan and new entry of many
large technology companies in Pakistan. |
Negative
trends:
· |
The
disturbance in Middle East and rising terrorist activities post 9/11
worldwide have resulted in issuance of travel advisories in some of the
most opportunistic markets. In addition, travel advisories issued to U.S.
Citizens for travel to Pakistan and other regions, 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
budgets 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 $1,490,144 or 87.62% in the current quarter as compared
to the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase is attributable to new orders
of licenses, an increase in services business, including additional maintenance
work, and the addition of two new subsidiaries in the current quarter. 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. The
impressive growth in revenue is also attributed to several domestic contracts
won in the last nine months in Pakistan. Specifically in the last quarter,
NetSol’s relationship with Toyota Leasing Thailand has grown through sale of new
licenses and services.
Our
telecom company, NetSol Akhter, added its 50th new
corporate customer in Pakistan whose customers include, but are not limited to:
AKD Securities, Reuters and, Marriot Hotels. The subsidiary is now EBITDA
positive and made a net profit along with very strong and consistent bottom-line
of the main subsidiary NetSol Technologies, Ltd.
The U.S.
subsidiary has been fully integrated with the parent company to reduce costs.
NetSol USA had been managing several projects with Seattle based Capital Stream
since November 2003. While the Capital Stream project generated strong revenue
since its inception, it was completed in January 2005. To control costs and
improve efficiency the NetSol USA office is being merged into the parent office
in California. The Company plans to launch Leasesoft and other services in the
US market by hiring senior sales executives in North America. It also plans to
explore new partnerships, such as but not limited to joint ventures similar in
structure to the TiG joint venture and through North American mergers and
acquisitions.
The
successful completion of CQ Systems in February 2005 has positively aided the
topline and bottomline growth in the third quarter of 2005. Approximately
$750,000 of revenue of CQ was consolidated in this quarter.
The
creation of TiG NetSol joint venture has already created a revenue of over
$150,000 with a profit of nearly $50,000. This joint venture required NetSol to
hire over 30 new programmers in Lahore to work on TiG projects from UK. This
relationship is expected to grow tremendously in next 12 months. TiG presently
generates over $40 million of business in technology of which the majority may
potentially be outsourced to the TiG-NetSol joint venture.
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 $1,848,702 in the quarter ending March 31, 2005 as compared with
$1,005,951 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of
$842,751. The gross profit percentage has increased to approximately 58% in the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to approximately 59% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004. In comparison to the prior quarter ended December 31, 2004, the
cost of sales increased approximately $502,829, revenues increased $467,691, and
an overall increase of 6% in gross profit.
Operating
expenses were $1,632,525 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 as compared to
$1,396,974, for the corresponding period last year. The increase is selling and
marketing expenses and salaries is due to the expansion of our selling efforts
and the addition of our two new subsidiaries. The Company has streamlined its
operations by consolidation, divestment and enhanced operating efficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $384,649 and $294,486 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 and, 2004, respectively. The increase is due to the
acquisition of CQ Systems. Combined salaries and wages costs were $453,226 and
$408,840 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $5,242 from
the corresponding period last year.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $219,399 and $49,690, in the quarter ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, 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 $59,821 for the comparable prior period in the prior year.
Professional services expense increased to $112,830 in the quarter ended March
31, 2005, from $70,701 in the corresponding period last year.
Income
from operations was $216,177 compared to a loss of $391,023 for the quarters
ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This represents a decrease of
$607,200 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 $134,194 compared to net losses of $295,885 for the quarters ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This is an increase of 145% compared to
the prior year. The add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect
owned by another party was $(2,495) compared to $71,049 and the add-back for the
49.9% minority interest in NetSol-TiG was $27,500 for a total of $(29,994).
During the current quarter, the Company also recognized an expense of $7,500 for
the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debentures and a gain of
$49,865 from the settlement of debts. Net income per share, basic and diluted,
was $0.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared with a loss per share
of $0.04 for the corresponding period last year.
The net
EBITDA income was $519,843 compared to loss of $1,399 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $384,649 and $294,486 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

This
reflects an increase of $4,090,719 or 105.38% in the current nine months as
compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The increase is attributable
to new orders of licenses and an increase in services business, including
additional maintenance work, and the addition of two new subsidiaries. The
Company’s biggest revenue growth was achieved in all three of its Pakistan based
subsidiaries and its UK based subsidiary, 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.
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. The
acquisition of CQ Systems is, thus far, proves to be a success, and management
anticipates that it will make a sizable contribution to NetSol earnings going
forward. NetSol has been 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.
The gross
profit was $5,028,579 for the nine months ending March 31, 2005 as compared
with $2,236,195 for the same period of the previous year. The gross profit
percentage has increased 5.47% to 63.07% in the current fiscal year from 57.61%
for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit
margins is due to repeat sales of some licenses to new customers and to existing
customers.
Operating
expenses were $4,153,323 for the nine months ending March 31, 2005 as
compared to $3,828,498, for the corresponding period last fiscal year for an
increase of $364,839. The increase is mainly due to the increased sales
activities of the Company and the addition of two new subsidiaries. The Company
has streamlined its operations by consolidation, divestment and enhanced
operating efficiencies. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to
$986,755 and $903,182 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, the increase is due to the acquisition of CQ Systems. Combined
salaries and wage costs were $1,248,447 and $1,003,289 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or an increase of $245,158 from the
corresponding period last year.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $474,099 and $96,377 for the nine months ended March
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This reflects the Company’s expanding sales and
marketing efforts. The Company wrote-off as uncollectible bad debts of $0 and
$153,327 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Professional services expense increased to $368,135 in the nine months ended
March 31, 2005, from $310,403 in the corresponding period last year.
Income
from continued operations was $875,256 compared to loss of $1,592,303 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This represents an
increase of $2,467,559 for the nine-month period compared to the prior year.
This is directly due to increased sales, reduction of operational expenses,
improved gross margins, and the addition of two new subsidiaries.
Net
income was $429,218 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to
net loss of $1,515,077 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. This is an
increase of 128% compared to the prior year. The add-back for the 49.9% minority
interest in NetSol Connect owned by another party was $11,764 compared to
$164,387 and the add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol-TiG was
$27,500 for a total of $(15,735). During the current nine months, the Company
also recognized an expense of $239,416 for the beneficial conversion feature on
convertible debentures, an expense of $249,638 for the fair market value of
warrants issued and a gain of $239,506 from the settlement of debts. Net income
per share was $0.04, basic and $0.03 diluted, for the nine months ended March
31, 2005 as compared with a loss per share, basic and diluted, of $0.18 for
the corresponding period last year.
The net
EBITDA income was $1,415,973 compared to loss of $611,895 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $986,755 and $903,182 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 $1,596,031 at March 31, 2005 compared to $449,047 at
March 31, 2004. In addition the Company had $1,083,450 in certificates of
deposit. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was
$2,679,481 as of March 31, 2005.
Net cash
used for operating activities amounted to $1,848,719 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005, as compared to $3,325,515 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in net income as well as an
increase in prepaid expenses and accounts receivable. In addition, the Company
experienced a decrease of $394,862 in its accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash
used by investing activities amounted to $6,002,848 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2005, as compared to $855,492 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The difference lies primarily in the purchase of subsidiary which
increased intangible assets and the purchase property and equipment during the
current fiscal year. The Company had net purchases of property and equipment of
$804,115 compared to $372,594 for the comparable period last fiscal year. During
the current fiscal year, an additional $287,797 and $250,006 was infused into
the Company’s minority interest in the Company’s subsidiaries NetSol Connect and
NetSol-TiG.
Net cash
provided by financing activities amounted to $8,540,262 and $4,385,750 for the
nine months ended March 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The current fiscal
period included the cash inflow of $1,512,000 compared to $1,102,049 from
issuance of equity and $999,224 compared to $1,215,575 from the exercising of
stock options and warrants. In the current fiscal period, the Company received
$1,589,974 of additional capital from the sale of NetSol PK Tech stock through
private placement leading to an IPO in Pakistan and had net proceeds on loans
and capital leases of $4,490,768 as compared to net proceeds of $868,126 in the
comparable period last year. The increase in loans is from the acquisition of CQ
Systems and new loans entered into during the current period.
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. During the
current fiscal period, 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 additional 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.
|
· |
The
final payment to former CQ Systems shareholders of the remaining
consideration. The amount due is based on the earnings of CQ Systems
during the period of March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006 and will be paid in
cash, equity or a combination of both. The initial consideration, which
was based on revenues for the period ending March 31, 2005, total
approximately $3.5 million and was paid in cash and restricted shares of
common stock. While the agreement permits the final consideration to be
paid, in part, in restricted shares of common stock, management believes
that improving net cash position of CQ and Company strongly improves the
potential of meeting this obligation without raising new capital.
|
· |
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. |
· |
Final
note payments of $875,000 due in 12 months that was received from three
separate investors to close the CQ acquisition in February 2005. These
investors, who have long standing relationships with the Company, permit
the extension of the maturity date upon the agreement of these investors.
|
While
there is no guarantee that we will have sufficient funds to meet our capital
needs or that even if available that such funds will be on terms acceptable to
the Company. We may 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.
