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 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, 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, 2007. 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”), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies, Ltd.(“NetSol PK”), NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (now, NetSol Akhter Pvt. Ltd.) (“Connect”), TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited (“TIG”), 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 September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
 

Page 7
 
1.
A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
2.
The date that adoption is required
3.
The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.
 
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), “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.

NOTE 8 - 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.
 
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.

In addition, as part of the agreement, the investors were granted 378,788 warrants with an exercise price of $1.65 and expires in five years.

Services

In October 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant whereby the Company agreed to issue a total of 40,000 of the Company’s restricted stock, to be paid at the end of each quarter of service. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded as “Stock to Be Issued” 10,000 shares valued at $15,000 or $1.50 per share under this agreement. In October 2007, these shares were issued. As the consultant hasn’t provided the service contracted on a timely basis, the shares are only due to the consultant upon performance of the service, therefore, during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, an additional 10,000 shares valued at $15,000 or $1.50 per share have been recorded as “Stock to be Issued”.

 NOTE 14 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

NOTE 16 - CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

On June 15, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with five accredited investors whereby the Company issued five convertible notes payable for an aggregate principal value of $5,500,000. These notes bore interest at the rate of 12% per annum and were due in full one year from the issuance date or on June 15, 2007 (the “Financing”).  The Convertible Notes could have immediately converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion value (initially set at one share per $1.65 of principal dollar) to the extent that such conversion did not violate Nasdaq Market Place rules.  Due to the limitation rule, none of the note was convertible as of September 30, 2006. Upon the approval of the stockholders, to the extent not already converted into common shares, the Convertible Notes Payable would be immediately converted into shares of Preferred Stock. On October 18, 2006, the shareholders approved the issuance of the shares and on October 30, 2006 the notes were converted into 5,500 shares of Preferred Stock. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, $167,489 of interest was accrued. As of September 30, 2006, a total of $194,989 in accrued interest had been recorded on the notes and was added to the principal of the notes. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, $251,167 of interest was accrued. On December 13, 2006, the note holders agreed to accept shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of the interest owed to them. In addition, the note holders required the Company to issue a total of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $88,201 as a premium to receive payment in shares rather than cash. This amount is included in “interest expense” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 

Page 19
 
The beneficial conversion feature expense based on the net value of the loan after reducing the proceeds by the value of the warrants issued was $2,208,334.

The common stock shares issued under this financing agreement, including warrants, were to be registered within 120 days after closing (or October 19, 2006). If the Company did not meet the registration requirement, the Company was to pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to each Holder an amount equal to one percent (1%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each thirty (30) day period until the applicable Event has been cured. The registration statement became effective on January 19, 2007. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company accrued $168,667 as liquidation damages due and has paid the full amount. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $12,223 in liquidation damages during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This amount is included in “Accrued Liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As part of the agreement, the investors received warrants to purchase 1,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 and expire in five years. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model at $2,108,335 and have been capitalized as a contra-account against the note balance in these consolidated financial statements. These costs are being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan is converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $2,022,363 was amortized and recorded as “amortization of debt discount” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Black-Scholes pricing model used the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate
6.00%
Expected life
5 years
Expected volatility
100%
Dividend yield
0%
 
Under the agreement, any future financing whereby warrants are issued at an exercise price lower than the exercise price of the warrants in the agreement, an adjustment to the exercise price is to be made. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a financing was completed which included the issuance of warrants at an exercise price of $1.65 (see Note 13). Following the formula set out in the agreement, it was determined that the adjusted exercise price was $1.93 per share. As a result, the Company revalued the warrants for the adjusted exercise price using the Black-Scholes model at $2,120,000 and recorded an expense of $11,667 for the repricing of the warrants. The Black-Scholes pricing model used the same assumptions as for the original valuation of the warrants.

In connection with this financing, the Company paid $474,500 in cash for placement agent fees and legal fees. These costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan is converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $454,729 of these costs were amortized and recorded as “amortization of capitalized cost of debt” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As part of the financing, warrants to purchase 266,666 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the placement agent as part of its fee. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.65 and expire in two years. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model at $340,799 and have been capitalized in these consolidated financial statements. These costs are being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan is converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $326,599 of these costs were amortized and recorded as “amortization of capitalized cost of debt” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Black-Scholes pricing model used the following assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate
6.00%
Expected life
2 years
Expected volatility
100%
Dividend yield

Based on the earn-out formula in the purchase agreement, $1,807,910 was due in cash and stock. On June 27, 2007, 397,700 shares of the 408,988 shares due of the Company’s restricted common stock were issued to the former shareholders of McCue. The balance represents former shareholders of McCue that haven’t been located as of this date. In July and August 2007, $450,000 and $429,007 of the cash portion was paid to the shareholders. As a result of the second payment the Company recorded an addition of $1,615,595 to goodwill.

The Company also delivers managed IT services ranging from consulting and application development to systems integration and development outsourcing. NetSol’s commitment to quality is demonstrated by its achievement of both ISO 9001 and SEI (Software Engineering Institute) CMMi (Capability Maturity Model) Level 5 assessment, a distinction shared by only 94 companies worldwide. The Company’s clients include global automakers, financial institutions, technology companies and governmental agencies. NetSol’s largest customers, DaimlerChrysler Services and Toyota, rank the Company as a preferred vendor in more than 40 countries. Founded in 1996, NetSol is headquartered in Calabasas, California. NetSol Technologies also has operations and/or offices in: Horsham, United Kingdom; the San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA; Adelaide, Australia; Beijing, China; Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Karachi, Pakistan; and, Bangkok, Thailand.

NetSol offers a broad spectrum of IT products and IT services which management believes deliver a high return on investment for its customers. NetSol has nearly perfected its delivery capabilities by continuously investing in maturing its software development and Quality Assurance (“QA”) processes. NetSol believes its key competitive advantage is its ability to build high quality enterprise applications using its offshore development facility in Lahore, Pakistan while also utilizing our facility in Beijing, China. A major portion of NetSol’s revenues are derived from exports in general and LeaseSoft in particular. The use of the facility in Pakistan as the basis for software development, configuration and professional services represents a cost-effective and economical cost arbitrage model that is based on the globally acclaimed advantages of outsourcing and offshore development. In the areas of professional services, the Company is now changing its focus from just being a custom development facility to offering high end services like systems integration and technology consulting services. NetSol management believes that the use of this model will only further benefit the Company in its penetration of US, European, developed and developing country markets.

Information technology services are valuable only if they fulfill the business strategy and project objectives set forth by the customer. NetSol’s expert consultants have the technical knowledge and business experience to ensure the optimization of the development process in alignment with basic business principles. The Company offers a broad array of professional services to clients in the global commercial markets and specializes in the application of advanced and complex IT enterprise solutions to achieve its customers' strategic objectives. Its service offerings include IT Consulting & Services; NetSol Defense Division; Business Intelligence, Information Security, Outsourcing Services and Software Process Improvement Consulting; maintenance and support of existing systems; and, project management.

In addition to services, our offerings include our flagship product, LeaseSoft. LeaseSoft, a robust suite of four software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and finance cycle starting from quotation origination through end of contract. The four software applications under LeaseSoft have been designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and are capable of dealing with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual, multi-distributor and multi-manufacturer environments. Each application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. NetSol recently added LeaseSoft Fleet Management System (FMS). The Company has already signed an agreement for FMS with a major automotive company in the Asia Pacific region.
 
LeaseSoft is a result of more than eight years of effort resulting in over 60 modules grouped in four comprehensive applications. These four applications are complete systems in themselves and can be used independently to exhaustively address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
 
Beyond LeaseSoft, our product offerings include LeasePak. LeasePak provides the leasing technology industry with the development of Web-enabled and Web-based tools to deliver superior customer service, reduce operating costs, streamline the lease management lifecycle, and support collaboration with origination channel and asset partners. LeasePak can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users. And for scalability, NetSol North America offers the LeasePak Bronze, Silver and Gold Editions for systems and portfolios of virtually all sizes and complexities. These solutions provide the equipment and vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors.

New product offerings and services include: inBanking, which provides full process automation and decision support in the front, middle and back offices of treasury and capital markets operations; LeaseSoft Portals and Modules through our European operations; LeasePak 6.0a of our LeasePak product suite; and, NetSol Technology Institute, our specialized career and technology program in Pakistan.
 
The Company is continuing with its consolidation of operating units, placing up to 60% of all service and product operations under the direct control of its center of excellence, in Lahore, Pakistan. 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 Burlingame, California and should facilitate the use of these regional offices as platforms for launching an expanding services offering, relying on the experience and resources in Pakistan and our product offerings in North America and Europe.
 
While the company will no longer be divided into groups and regions, the Company will continue to maintain regional offices in Burlingame and Calabasas, California for North America; in Horsham, the United Kingdom, for Europe and; our flagship operations in Lahore, Pakistan for Asia Pacific. The Company will continue to maintain country and/or services or products specific offices in Beijing, China; Adelaide, Australia; Bangkok, Thailand; and, additional offices in Pakistan.

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 CMMi Level 2 in early 2002. In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol reached CMMi Level 5 on August 11, 2006; the Company is expecting a growing demand for its products and alliances from blue chip companies worldwide. NetSol plans to further enhance its capabilities by creating similar development engines in other Southeast Asian countries with CMMi 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 CMMi levels of quality standards will provide customers with options and flexibility based on costs and broader access to skills and technology. NetSol PK has already launched implementation of ISO 27001, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security Management. NetSol PK was certified as an ISO 27001 company in January 2008. In December 2007, NetSol’s flagship LeaseSoft solution received the Best Financial Industry Application Award for 2007 by the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance (APICTA) located in Singapore.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL

NetSol has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol

Positive trends:

 
·
Outsourcing of services and software development is growing worldwide.
 
·
The leasing and finance industry in North America has increased to about $260 billion and $700 billion worldwide.
 
·
A December 17, 2007, seven page supplement in USA TODAY featuring Pakistan highlighted NetSol Technologies, Inc. as a leading IT company in Pakistan with focused growth in the US and continued success in the Chinese, European and emerging markets.
 
·
The influx of US companies and investors in addition to investors from all other parts of the world to Pakistan.
 
·
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 10 more years remaining on this tax incentive.
 
·
Cost arbitrage, labor costs are still very competitive and attractive when compared with India. Pakistan is significantly under priced for IT services and programmers as compared to India.
 
·
Pakistan is one of the fastest growing IT destinations from emerging and new markets.
 
·
Chinese market is burgeoning and wide open for NetSol’s ‘niche’ products and services. NetSol is gaining a strong foothold in this market.
 
·
Only a handful of IT solutions providers in the world offer a global distribution network, complete end-to-end solution, and presence in the world’s key and strategic markets.
 
·
One of the few global IT companies in the leasing and finance domain with gold standard CMMI level 5 accreditation.
 
·
NetSol and NetSol PK are both listed in one of the most visible stock indexes in their respective markets.
 
·
NetSol majority owned subsidiary NetSol PK listed on KSE (Karachi Stock Exchange) has traded at record price of Pkr. 160 in October 2007 with bonus shares of 37% combined in last three quarters. The IPO price was Pkr. 25 in August 2005; in December 2007 it traded at a high of Pkr. 141. Despite the turbulent times in Pakistan, the KSE as a whole and NetSol shares in particular have maintained their robust trading patterns.
 
·
Overall economic expansion worldwide and explosive growth in the emerging markets specifically.
 
·
Continuous improvement of US and Indian relationships with Pakistan.

Robust growth in outsourcing globally and investment of major US and European corporations in the developing countries.

Both Pakistan and China are in the forefront.

Negative trends:
.
 
·
The recent assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has caused recent political disturbances in Pakistan.
 
·
The political instability of Pakistan until its elections are held on February 18, 2008, will most likely negatively impact the region.

Negative perception and image created by extremism and terrorism in the South Asian region.
 
·
Instability of oil prices and uncertainty about the geo-political landscape in the Middle East.
 
·
Continuous impact of Iraq war on US and global economy.

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 NetSol 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 NetSol. 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. 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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 December 31, 2007 were $8,406,470 as compared to $7,227,121 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. This reflects an increase of $1,179,349 or 16.3% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and implementation, increased 29% from $3,149,087 to $4,049,287. License and maintenance revenues both grew between 5-10% over the comparable quarter in fiscal 2007. The increase is attributable mostly to growth in services business, several new license sales of LeaseSoft in China, growing outsourcing business of NetSol-TIG (JV) and additional maintenance work. In addition, several new business divisions have been formed in Lahore and are now producing revenues. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. However, the political unrest in Pakistan combined with more holidays this quarter has affected the services revenues as these are dependent upon man-hours and a few of the public sector projects in Pakistan have slowed. The Company had hoped to close at least two major service contracts in Pakistan (with an approximate value of $3 million). This is now expected to occur in within the next two quarters. NetSol in Pakistan has been pre-qualified to participate in several public sector projects. The most significant is the World Bank funded Land Record Management Information Systems or LRMIS. This project has a World Bank grant of $300 million in Pakistan and NetSol was given two pilot projects in the province of Punjab in 2007, and we anticipate winning key projects in this area in next few quarters.

The activities for NetSol new license sales - LeaseSoft is increasingly on the rise. The current pipeline boasts over 30 plus captive auto manufacturers globally at an advance stage of closing or decision making.

NetSol made a significant move by acquiring 100% of a US based software company McCue Systems Inc., (now “NetSol Technologies North America”) (“NTNA”) in June 2006. The acquisition of NTNA has provided the Company with a very strong and seasoned management team with a mature, profitable, business which contributes strongly to our top and bottom lines. During the current quarter several modules and user upgrades were sold to existing clients. The integration of a dedicated offshore team into NTNA Development Department is continuing, with ongoing projects and management processes in place. This effort has resulted in a balanced use of onshore and offshore resources, with the Development Team now staffed 45% onshore and 55% offshore. Offshore resources are now making significant contribution throughout the development lifecycle. In addition, the entire NTNA team is working to increase customer satisfaction and improve the quality of the product which will have an effect of increasing sales to existing customers and greater referrals. A new IT services division is set to launch in the next quarter.

Due to the revision in our pricing policy, LeaseSoft license value in APAC is in the range of $500,000 to $1.5 million, without factoring in services maintenance and implementation fees. Normally, NetSol negotiates 25-30% yearly maintenance contracts with customers. 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 the second half of fiscal year 2007 that could potentially increase the sales and bottom line. As the Company continues to sell more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 60%.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, in our APAC division, a major automotive captive in Hong Kong went live with our LeaseSoft Solution. NetSol also won a contract to design and implement an IT system for a major public sector hospital. This opportunity for NetSol represents a new business sector vertical for the Company, focused on the development and implementation of Hospital Management Systems (HMS). NetSol will be collaborating on this project with a partner organization that specializes in process automation for the healthcare sector and related services through its indigenously developed software applications. Due to the political crises in Pakistan that surged in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, NetSol’s local business slowed down. But in spite of this there was no disruption in our development technology campus as we delivered our services unhindered; however we did experience some decline in new business activity in the local market.

Our joint-venture, NetSol-TiG continues to grow overall with the exception of a reduction in billing days due to excessive holidays in Pakistan due to Eid celebrations and extraordinary events. The total programmer strength is over 120 people dedicated to the joint-venture projects. In addition, two new projects in the United States of America were signed and Innovation Group’s release management of five different countries has recently been given to our Extended Innovation (“EI”) division which works with the joint-venture.

The gross profit was $4,786,670 in the quarter ending December 31, 2007 as compared with $3,630,132 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of 32% or $1,156,538. The gross profit percentage for the quarter increased approximately 7% to 57% from 50% in the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The cost of sales was $3,619,800 in the current quarter compared to $3,596,989 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2007. As a percentage of sales, it decreased 7% from 49.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to 43.06% in the current quarter. Salaries and consultant fees decreased slightly by $40,733 from $2,441,724 in the prior comparable quarter to $2,400,991, as a percentage of sales, it decreased 5% from 34% in the prior comparable quarter to 29% in the current quarter. The Company has added several new business divisions in Pakistan hiring the best talent in these specialized areas. It takes between 18-24 months for these new business units to fully develop their offerings and begin generating revenues. A few of these units are now producing revenues, the rest of the divisions are anticipated to start generating revenues in the next two quarters. The gross profit margin is expected to continue to improve as the integration of both the operations in Horsham, UK and Burlingame, US are fully integrated and cost savings are achieved. The Company has invested heavily in its infrastructure, both in people and equipment during the current fiscal year as it situated itself for increased growth organically and from the acquisitions of NTE in February 2005 and NTNA in June 2006.

Operating expenses were $3,338,814 for the quarter ending December 31, 2007 as compared to $3,252,654, for the corresponding period last year for a slight increase of $86,160. As a percentage of sales it decreased 5% from 45% to 40%. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $479,904 and $456,529 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $815,771 and $1,000,835 for the comparable periods, respectively, or a decrease of $185,064 from the corresponding period last year. As a percentage of sales, these costs decreased 4% from 14% to 9%. General and administrative expenses were $826,033 and $722,336 for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $103,697 or 14%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 10% in the current quarter compared to 10% in the comparable quarter.

Selling and marketing expenses were $1,086,729 and $762,290, in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company. Although this reflects a 43% increase or $324,439, as a percentage of sales the increase was only 2% to 13% from 11%. Professional services expense decreased 50% to $129,539 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, from $258,974 in the corresponding period last year.

Income from operations was $1,447,856 compared to $377,478 for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This represents an increase of $1,070,378 for the quarter compared with the comparable period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, net income from operations was 17% in the current quarter compared to 5% in the prior period.

Net income was $1,068,232 compared to net loss of $4,652,612 for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This is an increase of $3,546,101 compared to the prior year. The current fiscal quarter amount includes a net reduction of $382,887 compared to $558,571 in the prior period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect, and NetSol-TiG owned by another party, and the 37.21% minority interest in NetSol PK. In the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $0 and $2,069,033 of amortized costs of debt, respectively. Interest expense was $189,142 in the current quarter as compared to $211,615 in the comparable period. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.04 as compared to net loss per share, basic of $0.33 and diluted of $0.32 for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

The net EBITDA income was $2,007,524 compared to loss of $3,747,126 after amortization and depreciation charges of $751,633 and $677,730, income taxes of $(1,483) and $16,141, and interest expense of $189,142 and $211,615, respectively. With the addition of the non-cash charge for the amortized costs of debt of $2,069,033 and the beneficial conversion feature expense of $2,208,334 the adjusted income would be $530,241 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The EBITDA earning per share, basic and diluted was $0.08 and $0.07 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and the adjusted pro forma EBITDA earnings per share, basic and diluted, was $0.03 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance, we are providing it because we believe it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. It may not be indicative of the Company’s historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results.

Net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2007 were $17,059,707 as compared to $13,089,681 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. This reflects an increase of $3,970,026 or 30% in the current period as compared to the period ended December 31, 2006. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and implementation, increased 50% from $6,138,271 to $9,215,552. License and maintenance revenues both grew between 11 - 16% over the comparable period in fiscal 2007. The increase is attributable mostly to growth in services business, several new license sales of LeaseSoft in China, growing outsourcing business of NetSol-TIG (JV) and additional maintenance work. In addition, several new business divisions have been formed in Lahore and are now producing revenues. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. The Company had hoped to close at least two major service contracts in Pakistan (with an approximate value of $3 million). This is now expected to occur in within the next two quarters.

As the Company continues to sell more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 60%.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007, NetSol PK was awarded the contract for the implementation of the Motor Vehicle Registration System (MVRS) for all the 34 districts of the province of Punjab, Pakistan. Within this quarter, implementation has been successfully completed in 16 districts of the Province. In addition, a major automotive captive in Australia signed a contract to license LeaseSoft’s Retail Finance Solution, which comprises of Credit Application Processing System (CAP) and Contract Management System (CMS), as well as its Wholesale solution, Wholesale Finance System (WFS). In addition to these modules, NetSol PK will provide software customization, system implementation, and ongoing maintenance and support services to this client. In addition, a major automotive captive in Hong Kong went live with our LeaseSoft Solution. A major contract was signed with one of the largest Leasing companies in Saudi Arabia for LeaseSoft. This contract marks NetSol’s entry into the lucrative Middle East region. NetSol also won a contract to design and implement an IT system for a major public sector hospital. This opportunity for NetSol represents a new business sector vertical for the Company, focused on the development and implementation of Hospital Management Systems (HMS). NetSol will be collaborating on this project with a partner organization that specializes in process automation for the healthcare sector and related services through its indigenously developed software applications.

Our joint-venture, NetSol-TiG continues to grow. During the current period ten new resources were added for a total of 130 dedicated to the joint-venture projects. In addition, two new projects in the United States of America were signed and Innovation Group’s release management of five different countries has recently been given to our Extended Innovation (“EI”) division which works with the joint-venture.

We have added the following new business divisions in Pakistan to expand our operations:

 
·
BI Consulting: a consulting division with the initial objective of targeting the banking industry. The implementation of the new International Basel II Accord by local banks has created a huge demand for solutions that allow banks to accurately quantify their risks of incurring losses. This is a predictive capability offered by business intelligence software; and, for that purpose we’ve aligned ourselves with the largest financial services software company, SunGard, which is also among the top ten software companies globally.
 
·
Information Security (INFOSEC): in recognition of the ever growing awareness of highly publicized IT Security problems, NetSol has established a new business unit. The unit will provide services to secure all corporate information and their supporting processes, systems and networks. INFOSEC is designed to ensure "The right information to the right people at the right time".

A few of these units are now producing revenues, the rest of the divisions are anticipated to start generating revenues in the next two quarters. The gross profit margin is expected to continue to improve as the integration of both the operations in Horsham, UK and Burlingame, US are fully integrated and cost savings are achieved.

It should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. It may not be indicative of the Company’s historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results.

The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and strengthen marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts. The company attracted 5 new institutional investors in 2006 that invested $5.5 million, raising its institutional investor base to over 15%. There are over 7.1 million employees and officers options unexercised and over 3 million investor warrants remaining to be exercised.

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:

 
·
The third and final payment of NTNA will be due in July 08 based on the earn-out formula. This could be in the range of $1.5 million to $2.0 million in cash and common stock. This is based on an earn out structure and the Company expects to fund it through internal cash flow;
 
·
Notes payable and related interest for approximately $3,017,773, including the payoff of the AMZ debt;
 
·
Working capital of $2.0 million for US and UK business expansion, 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 equity based financing and, warrant and option exercises. We would, however, 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.

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 raising 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.
