SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of
the statements under "Prospectus Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation," and
"Description of Business" in this prospectus are forward-looking statements.
These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other
factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity,
performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, those
listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
In some
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may,"
"will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"predicts," "potential," "proposed," "intended," or "continue" or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that
contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our
future operating results or our future financial condition or state other
"forward-looking" information. There may be events in the future that we are not
able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you
should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk
factors and elsewhere in this prospectus could substantially harm our business,
results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of
any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you
could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance,
or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to
actual results.
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
following summary contains basic information about NetSol and this prospectus.
Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you
should consider before investing in our securities. For a more complete
understanding of the risks associated with investing in us, you should read the
entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” starting on page
4.
We are an
end-to-end information technology (“IT”) and business consulting services
provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries.
We operate on a global basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, East Asia and
Asia Pacific. We help our clients identify, evaluate, and implement technology
solutions to meet their most critical business challenges and maximize their
bottom line. Our products include sophisticated software applications for the
asset-based lease and finance industry. By utilizing our worldwide resources, we
believe we are able to deliver high quality, cost-effective IT services, ranging
from consulting and application development to systems integration and
outsourcing. We have achieved the ISO 9001 and SEI (Software Engineering
Institute) Capable Maturity Model (“CMM”) Level 3 certifications. Additionally,
through our IP Backbone, located in Karachi, Pakistan, we offer a package of
wireless broadband services, which include high-speed Internet access, support
and maintenance.
Our
subsidiary, Network Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a Pakistan Limited Company, (“NetSol
PK”), develops the majority of our software. NetSol PK was the first company in
Pakistan to achieve the ISO 9001 and SEI CMM Level 4 software development
assessment. As maintained by the SEI, maturity levels measure the maturity of a
software company’s methodology that in turn ensures enhanced product quality
resulting in faster project turn-a-round and a shortened time to market.
During
recent years, we have focused on developing software applications for the
leasing and financial service industries. In late 2002, we launched a new suite
of software products under the name LeaseSoft. The LeaseSoft suite is comprised
of four major integrated asset based leasing/financing software applications.
The suite, consisting of a Credit Application Creation System (LeaseSoft.CAC), a
Credit Application Processing System (LeaseSoft.CAP), a Contract Activation
& Management System (LeaseSoft.CAM) and a Wholesale Finance System
(LeaseSoft.WFS), whether used alone or together, provides the user with an
opportunity to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle from
the credit approval process through the tracking of the finance contract and
asset.
We
recently acquired Pearl Treasury System Ltd., a United Kingdom company. Pearl
Treasury Systems has developed the PTS system for use by financial institutions
and customers. The system is designed to seamlessly handle foreign exchange and
money market trading, trading in derivative products, risk management, credit
control, pricing and various interfaces for rate feeds, with one system
platform. The system platform, modular in design, also allows financial
institutions to purchase only the modules they require. The PTS system was
developed over five years with a $4 million investment by a group of visionaries
in the U.K. This group completed nearly 80% of the product and needed a stronger
development and business partner who could take over completion and marketing.
With the acquisition, NetSol believes we have become that partner. The PTS, now
called “TRAPEZE,” is nearing completion and we expect a demonstration prototype
to be launched in August 2004. In anticipation of this launch, we have hired a
senior sales executive and other sales staff to plan the marketing efforts in
the United Kingdom.
On
January 27, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of CQ Systems Ltd., a company organized under the laws of
England and Wales (“CQ”). CQ provides sophisticated accounting and
administrative software, along with associated services, to leasing and finance
companies located in Europe, Asia and Africa. The products include software
modules for asset finance, consumer finance, motor finance, general finance and
insurance premium finance. The modules provide an end-to-end contractual
solution - from underwriting, contract administration and accounting, through
asset disposal and remarketing. Customers include notable European companies
such as Scania Finance GB, DaimlerChrysler Services, Broadcastle PLC, Bank of
Scotland Equipment Finance and Deutsche Leasing Ltd. The acquisition of CQ is
subject to certain closing conditions including our receipt of $2.0 million in
funding to pay the cash portion of the purchase price. The
acquisition closed on February 22, 2005 based on March 31, 2004 financial
statements of CQ Systems Ltd. with the payment of approximately $1.7 million in
cash and 675,292 shares of Company common stock based on a $2.46 per share cost
basis. Consideration will be adjusted when March 31, 2005 financials are
received. The final payment of consideration will be made after the completion
of CQ’s March 31, 2006 fiscal year end.
We market
our software products worldwide to companies primarily in the automobile
finance, leasing and banking industries. In February 2003, we successfully
implemented our LeaseSoft.CAM for Daimler Chrysler Singapore and received a fee
in excess of $2 million. Some of our other customers include: Mercedes
Benz Finance - Japan; Yamaha Motors Finance - Australia; Tung-Yang Leasing
Company Taiwan; Debis Portfolio Systems - UK; DaimlerChrysler Services -
Australia; DaimlerChrysler Leasing - Thailand; DaimlerChrysler Services - Korea;
UMF Leasing Singapore; and, DaimlerChrysler Services New Zealand. In addition,
NetSol provides offshore development and customized I/T solutions to blue chip
customers such as Citibank Pakistan, DCD Holding UK and Habib Allied Bank UK.
With the acquisition of Altvia Technologies, Inc. (now NetSol USA) in June 2003,
we believe we acquired, as clients, some of the most well known higher education
and telecommunications associations based on the east coast of the United
States. We are also a strategic business partner for DaimlerChrysler Services
AG, which consists of a group of many companies, including some of the ones
referred to above. We have recently added a few new customers such as TIG of the
United Kingdom, AMF of Australia, Capital Stream from the United States and a
few other in the US and Asia. Additionally, new strategic relationships were
formed with Intel Pakistan and Hyundai IT of Korea
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 18, 1997. Our
principal executive offices are located at 23901 Calabasas Road, Suite 2072,
Calabasas, California 91302. Our telephone phone number is (818) 222-9195 and
our website address is http://www.netsoltek.com.

prospectus relates to the offering for resale of NetSol Technologies, Inc.
common stock by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, who will use

acquired by the selling stockholders in private placements and, those shares of
common stock underlying warrants issued to the placement agent as compensation
for services provided to NetSol in the aforementioned private placements, shares
of common stock issued to a shareholder as settlement of litigation against
NetSol, and shares issued to a selling stockholder who was issued shares in
exchange for the settlement of a tax liability owed by our subsidiary located in
Pakistan.. We will
not receive any proceeds from sales of our common stock by the selling
stockholders. For further information about the selling stockholders, see
“Selling Stockholders.”
THE

was issued warrants to purchase up to 74,545 shares of common stock in
connection with their services. 50,000 shares of common stock were
acquired by an individual non-U.S. resident investor in exchange for the
payment of a tax liability owed by our Pakistani subsidiary. 45,195 shares
of common stock were acquired by a selling stockholder in a settlement

Risk
Factors |
Investment
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully consider the information set forth in the "Risk Factors"
section of this prospectus as well as other information set forth in this
prospectus, including our financial statements and related
notes. |
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities is extremely risky. You should carefully consider
the following risks, in addition to the other information presented in this
prospectus, before deciding to buy our securities. If any of the following risks
actually materialize, our business and prospects could be seriously harmed and,
as a result, the price and value of our securities could decline and you could
lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below
are intended to be the material risks that are specific to us and to our
industry.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We
May Have Difficulty Raising Needed Capital in the Future, Which Could
Significantly Harm Our Business.
We will
require additional financing in order to support further expansion, develop new
or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures, acquire
complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of unanticipated
opportunities. Our ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend
in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business
performance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts
to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. If additional financing
is raised by the issuance of our securities, control of NetSol may change and
stockholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not
available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take
advantage of opportunities, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and
remain in business.
We
Have Received A “Going Concern” Footnote From Our Auditors Indicating That There
Is Substantial Doubt As To Whether We Can Remain In
Business.
In a
footnote to our audit report dated June 30, 2004, Kabani & Company,
Certified Public Accountants, our auditors, indicated that there was substantial
doubt as to our ability to continue as a “going concern.” Our ability to
continue as a “going concern” is attributable to the Company’s historical
operating losses and the amount of capital which we project we need to satisfy
liabilities existing at that time and in order to achieve profitable operations.
For the year ended June 30, 2004, we continued to experience a negative cash
flow from consolidated operations, and projected that we will need certain
additional capital to enable us to continue operations at our current level
beyond the near term. Effective February 8, 2005, our auditors indicated their
intention to no longer include the going concern footnote in our financial
statements. Our auditors cited the increased revenues as the reason for
excluding the footnote. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to
generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient funds to continue our
operations, or that our auditors will not issue another “going concern” opinion.
Our failure to raise sufficient additional funds, either through additional
financing or continuing operations, will have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial condition and we may be forced to curtail
operations.
We
Will Require Additional Financing; We May Not Achieve Profitability; We
Anticipate Continued Losses; Current Liabilities Exceed Current
Assets.
As of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we had a negative working capital of $10,400
and as of December 31, 2004, we had a positive working capital of $3,026,718. We
have current short-term bank notes of $392,699 due within six months. We had a
net loss of $2,137,506 in fiscal 2003, a net loss of $2,969,975 in fiscal 2004,
and a net income of $44,334 for the six months ended December 31,
2004.
In
addition, we continue to operate at a deficit on a monthly basis, which is not
expected to change in the foreseeable future, even with the implementation of
our current business plan. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of
Operations” on page 30 of this prospectus for further information about our
current business plan. Notwithstanding that we raised $2,050,000 in March
through May 2004, we may need to raise additional funds in the amount of at
least $2.0 million to continue operations and to expand and invest in the growth
of our business for the next year. Additionally, we will require a minimum of
$2,000,000 to close the acquisition of CQ Systems Ltd. We cannot assure you that
we can sustain or increase profitability. If revenues grow slower than we
anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be
adjusted accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial
condition will be materially and adversely affected. Although we have improved
our financials steadily in last few quarters, no assurance can be given that we
will continue to improve our financial condition.
We
May Not Be Able To Realize The Benefits Of Our Strategic
Plan.
As
discussed in “Description of Business” starting on page 39, after the
restructuring undertaken in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, we have
undertaken a business plan designed to optimize this restructuring. Although our
management is confident about our ability to realize some benefits from the
restructuring, the level of benefits to be realized could be affected by a
number of factors including, without limitation: (a) our ability to raise
sufficient funds; (b) our ability to continue to operate as planned without
further stockholder hostile takeover attempts; (c) our ability to prosper given
the current uncertainty in the US technology industry; and, (d) our ability to
react effectively to the global political and business effects of the political
events around the world and particularly in Pakistan.
We
Depend Heavily On A Limited Number Of Client Projects And The Loss Of Any Such
Projects Would Adversely Affect Our Operating Results.
As of the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, and the six months ended December 31,
2004,
we
derived approximately 20% and 18%, respectively, of our net revenues from
DaimlerChrysler (which consists of a group of companies and clients).
DaimlerChrysler consists of a number of companies, each of which are uniquely
different customers and none of which represents greater than 10% of our net
revenues. We continue to enhance our relationship with DaimlerChrysler to
provide software and support services to them on a global basis. This may
increase our reliance on DaimlerChrysler as a revenue source. We also have other
significant clients whose business is critical to our success. The loss of any
of our principal clients for any reason, including as a result of the
acquisition of that client by another entity, could have an adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If
Any Of Our Clients Terminate Their Contracts With Us, Our Business Could Be
Adversely Affected.
Many of
our clients have the ability to cancel certain of their contracts with us with
limited advance notice and without significant penalty. Any such termination
could result in a loss of expected revenues related to that client’s project. A
cancellation or a significant reduction in the scope of a large project could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
If
We Are Unable To Protect Our Proprietary Software, Our Business Could Be
Adversely Affected.
Our
success as a company depends, in part, upon our work product being deemed
proprietary software, along with other intellectual property rights. While both
the LeaseSoft and NetSol trade names and marks are copyrighted and trademarked
in Pakistan, and we have filed an application for the registration of the
inBanking trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, we have not
registered any trademarks or filed any copyrights in any other jurisdictions. We
rely on a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, and
common law intellectual property, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to
protect our proprietary rights. As a matter of course, we generally enter into
confidentiality agreements with our employees, and require that our consultants
and clients enter into similar agreements. We also limit access to our
proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these steps will be
adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be
able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our
intellectual property rights. In addition, although we believe that our services
and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others,
there can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted against
us in the future, or that if asserted, any such infringement claim will be
successfully defended. The cost of defending any such suit will have a negative
impact, even if ultimately successful. A successful claim against us could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations. If NetSol cannot protect its proprietary information, others could
copy our software and compete with us in providing both software and
services.
We
May Not Have The Right To Resell Or Reuse Software Developed For Specific
Clients.
A portion
of our business involves the development of software for specific client
engagements. Ownership of these solutions is the subject of negotiation and is
frequently assigned to the client, although we may retain a license for certain
uses. Some clients have prohibited us from marketing the software developed for
them for specified periods of time or to specified third parties. There can be
no assurance that our clients will not demand similar or other restrictions in
the future. Issues relating to the ownership of and rights to use our software
solutions can be complicated and there can be no assurance that potential
disputes will not affect our ability to resell or reuse these software
solutions. While we have not incurred such expense in the past, limitations on
our ability to resell or reuse software solutions could require us to incur
additional expenses to develop new solutions for future projects.
International
Expansion Of Our Business Could Result In Financial Losses Due To Changes In
Foreign Political And Economic Conditions Or Fluctuations In Currency And
Exchange Rates.
We expect
to continue to expand our international operations. As well as the two offices
in the United States, we currently have offices in Pakistan, the UK and
Australia. Additionally, we have entered into an agreement to acquire CQ Systems
Ltd., a company organized and located in England. In fact, approximately 90% of
our revenue is generated by non-U.S. sources. Our international operations are
subject to other inherent risks, including:
|
• |
political
uncertainty in Pakistan and the Southeast Asian Region, particularly in
light of the United States’ war on terrorism and the Iraq
war; |
|

We
Are Controlled By and Are Dependent On Our Key Personnel.
Our
management is currently controlled and operated by various members of the Ghauri
family. Our success will depend in large part upon the continued services of
those individuals including Messrs. Salim Ghauri, Najeeb Ghauri and Naeem
Ghauri. The death or loss of the services of any one of them or of any one or
more of our other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have key man
life insurance on these individuals. In addition, if one or more of our key
employees resigns to join a competitor or to form a competing company, the loss
of such personnel and any resulting loss of existing or potential clients to any
such competitor could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. In the event of the loss of any key
personnel, there can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge, practices or
procedures by such personnel. We entered into employment agreements with Messrs.
Salim, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri effective January 1, 2004, for a period of three
(3) years. Messrs. Salim, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri have non-competition and
anti-raid clauses in their employment agreements with us.
Certain
Of Our Management Team Have Relationships Which May Potentially Result In
Conflicts Of Interests.
In fiscal
year 2003, certain of our management team loaned funds to our company for
operating costs. Similar transactions occurred in fiscal year 2004. While these
transactions were approved by the board of directors, and we deem such
transactions to be fair in their terms, and such transactions have not resulted
in the management team choosing personal gain over company gain, such
transactions constitute a potential conflict of interest between our management
members’ personal interest and the interest of our company in that
management could be motivated to repay debts owed to the management team rather
than using that money for NetSol growth. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" on page 39 for information about relationships between our
officers and/or directors which could result in a Conflict of
Interest.
We
Face Significant Competition In Markets That Are New And Rapidly
Changing.
The
markets for the services we provide are highly competitive. We principally
compete with strategy consulting firms, Internet professional services firms,
systems integration firms, software developers, technology vendors and internal
information systems groups. Many of the companies that provide services in the
markets we have targeted have significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources than we do, have greater name recognition and generate
greater revenues. Potential customers may also have in house employees that can
compete with or replace us. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to
entry into these markets and we expect to continue to face competition from new
entrants into these same markets. We believe that the principal competitive
factors in these markets include:
|
• |
our
ability to integrate strategy, experience modeling, creative design and
technology services; |
|
• |
quality
of service, speed of delivery and price; |
|
• |
sophisticated
project and program management capability; and, |
|
• |
Internet
technology expertise and talent. |
We
believe that our ability to compete also depends on a number of competitive
factors outside our control, including:
|
• |
ability
of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate professional
staff; |
|
• |
development
by others of Internet services or software that is competitive with our
solutions; and |
|
• |
extent
of our competitors’ responsiveness to client
needs. |
There can
be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in these
markets.
RISKS
RELATED TO INVESTING IN THIS OFFERING
Our
Stock Price Has Historically Been Volatile; Our Stock Price After This Offering
Will Be Subject To Market Factors.
The
trading price of our common stock has historically been volatile. The future
trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in
response to:
|
• |
quarterly
variations in operating results and achievement of key business
metrics; |
|
• |
changes
in earnings estimates by securities analysts, if
any; |
|
• |
any
differences between reported results and securities analysts’ published or
unpublished expectations; |
|
• |
announcements
of new contracts or service offerings by NetSol or
competitors; |
|
• |
market
reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments
announced by NetSol or competitors; |
|
• |
demand
for our services and products; |
|
• |
changes
of shares being sold pursuant to Rule 144 or upon exercise of the
warrants; and, |
|
• |
general
economic or stock market conditions unrelated to NetSol’s operating
performance. |
Potential
Future Sales Pursuant To Rule 144 May Have A Depressive Effect On The Trading
Price Of Our Securities.
Certain
shares of common stock presently held by officers, directors and certain other
stockholders are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144,
promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are
aggregated) who has satisfied a one year holding period, may, under certain
circumstances sell within any three month period a number of shares which does
not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or
the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such
sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, including a two-year
holding period, the sale of shares by a person without any quantity limitation.
Such holding periods have already been satisfied in many instances. Therefore,
actual sales or the prospect of sales of such shares under Rule 144 in the
future may depress the prices of our common stock.
Provisions
of Our Bylaws Hinder Change in Control.
Our
bylaws contain provisions that prevent actions being taken by shareholders by
written consent. Shareholders actions may only be taken at special meetings
called in accordance with our bylaws. Our bylaws limits the manner and timing of
calling such meetings by shareholders. These provisions may effectively prevent
shareholders from changing board composition and or management in a swift
manner.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We will
not receive any of the proceeds from the offering of common stock for sale by
the selling stockholders. Proceeds received by us as a result of the exercise of
the warrants by the selling stockholders will be used for working capital
purposes.

Certain
selling stockholders shall receive their shares upon conversion of convertible
debentures which were offered to such stockholders in a private placement
of Series
A 10% Convertible Debentures in March 2004. This private placement resulted in
the issuance of convertible debentures with a principal value of $1,200,000. The
debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable in common stock or
cash, which at the option of NetSol will be paid in cash upon conversion. The
debentures are convertible at the rate of $1.86 principal value per share. Each
debenture holder also received a warrant to purchase fifty percent (50%) of the
number of shares of common stock issuable at conversion at the exercise price of
$3.30 per share. These warrants may be exercised until May 2009.
Certain
of the selling stockholders received their shares in a private placement of
shares of common stock and warrants to acquire common stock in May 2004 in which
we sold 386,362 shares at $2.20 per share and warrants to acquire up to 193,182
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share. The warrants may
be exercised until May 2009.
The
Company has offered, to each of the warrant holders who acquired their warrants
in the Debenture offering and in the May 2004 private placement, the opportunity
to exercise such warrants at the reduced price of $2.00 per share. Such option
is available until March 17, 2005 and requires such warrant holders to provide
both the exercise notice and the full exercise price to the Company prior to
that date. Any warrants not exercised by that date shall revert to the $3.30 per
share exercise price. As of March 21, 2005, only 20,162 warrants were exercised
at the reduced price. The remaining warrants have reverted back to the $3.30 per
share exercise price.
Pursuant
to the placement agent agreements by and between NetSol and Maxim Group LLC,
Maxim Partners LLC, as nominee of Maxim Group LLC, received, as part of the
compensation for their services, warrants to purchase up to 74,545 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $2.20 per share. These warrants may be
exercised until May 2009.
Mr.
Mohammed Iqbal received his shares pursuant to a share purchase agreement in
March 2004 whereby he paid $100,000 to the Pakistani taxing authorities to
satisfy the tax liability of our Pakistan subsidiary.
ACB,
Ltd., formerly, Arab Commerce Bank, received its shares as part of a settlement
of a complaint against NetSol. The complaint sought damages for breach of a note
purchase agreement and note. The terms of the settlement agreement required
NetSol to issue to ACB shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to
$100,000 plus interest as of the effective date of the agreement. The complaint
was dismissed by virtue of this settlement on November 3, 2003. On December 16,
2003, 34,843 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $100,000 were issued
pursuant to the terms of the agreement. On February 6 2004, NetSol issued an
additional 10,352
shares valued at $35,135 as
interest due under the settlement agreement. The terms of the settlement
agreement require NetSol to register ACB Ltd’s shares herein.
Because
the selling stockholders may, under this prospectus, sell all or some portion of
their NetSol common stock, only an estimate can be given as to the amount of
NetSol common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon
completion of the offering. In addition, the selling stockholders identified
above may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of
their NetSol common stock after the date on which they provided information
regarding their shareholdings.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
Selling
stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, the shares of our common
stock covered by this prospectus. The term selling stockholders includes donees,
pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling securities
received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift,
pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling
stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to
the timing, manner and size of each sale. Sales may be made on one or more
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under
terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or
in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may sell their securities
by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
|
• |
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
|
• |
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits
purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
• |
|
an
over-the-counter sale; |
|
• |
|
in
privately negotiated transactions; and, |
|
• |
|
in
options transactions. |
The
shares of our common stock will be listed, and may be traded, on the NASDAQ
Small Cap Market under the symbol “NTWK”. In addition, the selling stockholders
may sell pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an
exemption from registration. We have received confirmation from all selling
stockholders that they do not have any short positions and have reviewed
Regulation M.
To the
extent required, we may amend or supplement this prospectus to describe a
specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the
securities or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection
with those transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may
engage in short sales of shares of our common stock in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may
also sell shares of our common stock short and redeliver the securities to close
out their short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that
require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of
securities offered by this prospectus, which securities the broker-dealer or
other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus, as
supplemented or amended to reflect the transaction. The selling stockholders may
also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and,
upon a default, the broker-dealer or other financial institution, may affect
sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or
amended to reflect the transaction.
In
effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders
may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents
may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders
in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In
offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and
any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be treated
as “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of
any broker-dealer may be treated as underwriting discounts and
commissions.
The
selling stockholders and any other person participating in a distribution will
be subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which
may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the
selling stockholders and other participating persons. In addition, Regulation M
may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the
securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular
security being distributed for a period of up to five business days prior to the
commencement of the distribution. This may affect the marketability of the
securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the securities. We have informed the selling
stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, including Regulation M
promulgated under the Exchange Act, may apply to their sales in the market.
Additionally,
we have informed the selling stockholders involved in the private placements,
through the offering documents of the
following Telephone Interpretation in the SEC Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations (July 1997):

stock, which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do
a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with
registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the
short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes
effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at
the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5
if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.
The
selling stockholder have represented and warranted that he/she/it had complied
with all applicable provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
by the SEC thereunder, including Regulation M, and the applicable state
securities laws.
We will
make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the
purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the NASDAQ Small Cap
Market pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. We have agreed to
indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including those
arising under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the selling
stockholders may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The selling
stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions
involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the
time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus
supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities
being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any
underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any
discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount,
commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the
proposed selling price to the public.

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
NetSol
Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a NetSol International, Inc.) ("NetSol") is an
end-to-end information technology ("I/T") and business consulting services
provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries.
Since we were founded in 1997, we have developed enterprise solutions that help
clients use I/T more efficiently in order to improve their operations and
profitability and to achieve business results. Our focus has remained the lease
and finance, banking and financial services industries. We operate on a global
basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, East Asia and Asia Pacific. By
utilizing our worldwide resources, we believe we have been able to deliver high
quality, cost-effective I/T services. NetSol Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ("NetSol
PK") develops the majority of the software for us. NetSol PK was the first
company in Pakistan to achieve the ISO 9001 accreditation. In 2004, we also
obtained the Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute (“SEI”) Capable
Maturity Model (“CMM”) Level 4 assessment. According to the SEI website, the CMM
is a model for judging the maturity of the software process of an organization
and for identifying the key practices that are required for the maturity of
these processes. The software CMM has been developed by the software community
with stewardship by the SEI. There are only a few software companies worldwide
that have achieved SEI CMM Level 3 as of April 2003. NetSol obtained SEI CMM
Level 2 assessment in 2002. According to the SEI website, www.sei.cmu/sema/pdf/sw-cmm/2003apr.pdf, the CMM
levels developed by SEI in conjunction with the software industry are the
highest levels of recognition for quality and best practices a software company
can achieve.
COMPANY
BUSINESS MODEL
Our
business model has evolved over the past six years. NetSol now offers a broad
spectrum of I/T products and I/T services that deliver a high return on
investment for its customers. NetSol has perfected its delivery capabilities by
continuously investing in 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. In fact, over 80% of NetSol’s revenue is generated in US
Dollars and 80% of its overhead is incurred in Rupees, providing NetSol with a
distinct cost arbitrage business model.
Achieving
Software Maturity and Quality Assurance.
NetSol,
from the outset, invested heavily in creating a state of the art, world-class
software development capability. A series of QA initiatives have delivered to
NetSol the ISO 9001 certification as well as the CMM level 4 assessment.
Achieving this CMM level 4 required dedication at all our corporate levels.
SEI’s
CMM, which is organized into five maturity levels, has become a de facto
standard for assessing and improving software processes. Through the CMM, SEI
and the software development community have established an effective means for
modeling, defining, and measuring the maturity of the processes used by software
professionals. The CMM for software describes the principles and practices
underlying software process maturity and is intended to help software
organizations improve the maturity of their software processes in terms of an
evolutionary path from ad hoc, chaotic processes to mature, disciplined software
processes. Mature processes meet standardized software engineering methods and
integrable into a customer’s system. Mature processes ensure enhanced product
quality resulting in faster project turn around and a shortened time-to-market.
In short, a mature process would, ideally, have fewer bugs and integrate better
into the customer’s system.
We have
always strived to improve quality in every aspect of our business. This quality
drive, based on our vision, trickles from the top to the lowest levels in the
organization. We believe that it is this quality focus that enabled our software
development facility to become the first ISO 9001 certified software development
facility in Pakistan in 1999. This accomplishment marked the beginning of our
3-year program towards achieving the higher challenges of CMM (Software
Engineering Institute).
The first
step of the program was to launch a dedicated “Quality Engineering” team
mandated with software process improvement and achieving CMM ratings. The
department was provided every facility, from overseas training to complete
commitment of higher management, to enable it to achieve the desired goals. Our
management also made sure that everybody in NetSol was committed to achieving
CMM. The whole organization went through a comprehensive transformation cycle.
The process included, but was not limited to, the hiring and training of key
personnel in the U.S. and Pakistan, and following the standards and processes
designed and instituted by the SEI. The extreme focus and a major team effort
resulted in a CMM level 2 assessment in March 2002. We were the first in
Pakistan to achieve this distinction. While proud of this accomplishment, all
our levels continued to strive towards CMM level 3. The quality-engineering
department in specific, and we in general, started implementing Level 3 Key
Processes Areas (“KPAs”) in a methodical and structured manner. There were
training programs conducted by in-house personnel, local experts and foreign
consultants on various topics related to defining goals, processes, interpreting
KPAs and implementing them. This focus and commitment resulted in us achieving
the CMM Level 3 in 16 months compared to the world average of 21 months. Upon
passing the rigorous, nearly two week final assessment, conducted by Rayney
Wong, SEI CMM Lead Assessor from Xerox Singapore Software Centre, Fuji Xerox
Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., our development facility was granted the CMM Level 3.
This is notable in that, according to SEI CMM-CBA IPI and SPA Appraisal Results,
Maturity Profile April 2003, there are only 164 software development facilities
in the world with software -CMM Level 3 ratings. In December 2004, we achieved
SEI CMM level 4 certification. The Company’s intention is to pursue CMM Level 5
(SEI’s hightest maturity level) by 2006.

LeaseSoft
We also
develop advanced software systems for the asset based lease and finance
industries. We have developed “LeaseSoft” a complete integrated lease and
finance package. LeaseSoft, a robust suite of four software applications, is an
end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry. The four 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.
LeaseSoft
is a result of more than six 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. And, if used together, they
fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
The
constituent software applications are:
· LeaseSoft
Electronic Point of Sale (LeaseSoft ePOS).
LeaseSoft.ePOS is a web-based point of sale system for the use of dealers,
brokers, agents and sales officers to initiate credit applications. It is a
web-based system and, though it can be used with equal efficiency on an
intranet, the real ability is to harness the power of the Internet to book
sales. LeaseSoft.ePOS users create quotations and financing applications
(Proposals) for their customers using predefined financial products. The
application is submitted to the back office system [such as LeaseSoft.CAP] for
approval. After analysis, the application is sent back to the LeaseSoft.ePOS
system with a final decision.
· Credit
Application Processing System (CAP Formally known as Proposal Management System,
PMS). LeaseSoft.CAP provides companies in the financial sector an
environment to handle the incoming credit applications from dealers, agents,
brokers and the direct sales force. LeaseSoft.CAP automatically gathers
information from different interfaces like credit rating agencies, evaluation
guides, contract management systems and scores the applications against defined
scorecards. All of this is done in a mechanized workflow culminating with credit
team members making their decisions more quickly and accurately. Implementation
of LeaseSoft.CAP dramatically reduces application-processing time in turn
resulting in greater revenue through higher number of applications finalized in
a given time. LeaseSoft.CAP is also an excellent tool to reduce probability of a
wrong decision thus again providing a concrete business value through minimizing
the bad debt portfolio.
· Contract
Management System (CMS).
LeaseSoft.CMS provides comprehensive business functionality that enables its
users to effectively and smoothly manage and maintain a contract with the most
comprehensive details throughout its life cycle. It also provides interfaces
with company banks and accounting systems. LeaseSoft.CAM also effectively
maintains details of all business partners that do business with NetSol
including, but not limited to, customers, dealers, debtors, guarantors,
insurance companies and banks. A number of leasing consultants have provided
their business knowledge to make this product a most complete lease and finance
product. NetSol’s LeaseSoft.CAM provides business functionality for all areas
that are required to run an effective, efficient and customer oriented lease and
finance business.
· Wholesale
Finance System (WFS).
LeaseSoft.WFS automates and manages the floor plan/bailment activities of
dealerships through a finance company. The design of the system is based on the
concept of one asset/one loan to facilitate asset tracking and costing. The
system covers credit limit, payment of loan, billing and settlement, stock
auditing, online dealer and auditor access and ultimately the pay-off
functions.
Typically,
NetSol’s sales cycle for these products ranges between two to five months. We
derive our income both from selling the license to use the products as well as
from related software services. The related services include requirement
study/gap analysis, customization on the basis of gaps development, testing,
configuration, installation at the client site, data migration, training, user
acceptance testing, supporting initial live operations and, finally, the long
term maintenance of the system. Any changes or enhancement done is also charged
to the customer.
License
fees can vary generally between $100,000 up to $1,000,000 per license depending
upon the size of the customer and the complexity of the customer’s business. The
revenue for the license and the customization flows in several phases and could
take from six months to two years before its is fully recognized as income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The annual maintenance
fee which usually is an agreed upon percentage of overall monetary value of the
implementation then becomes an ongoing revenue stream realized on a yearly
basis.
NetSol
manages this sale cycle by having two specialized pools of resources for each of
the four products under LeaseSoft. One group focuses on software development
required for customization and enhancements. The second group comprises of
LeaseSoft consultants concentrating on implementation and onsite support.
NetSol
also maintains a LeaseSoft specific product website www.leasesoft.biz
Status
of New Products and Services
Effective
October 14, 2003, we acquired Pearl Treasury System Ltd., in exchange for the
issuance of up to 60,000 shares of common stock of NetSol. With this
acquisition, we have expanded our menu of software into banking and other
financial areas.
Pearl
Treasury System (PTS)- inBanking™
PTS was
originally developed on two tier client server technologies and was designed to
provide full process automation and decision support in the front, middle and
back offices of treasury and capital market operations. On internal review of
PTS by its founder, Noel Thurlow and NetSol’s banking specialists post
acquisition, it was decided to re-write the system with in the .NET
technologies, bringing the system into the n-tier/browser based environment. 70%
of the Phase One deliverable is completed. This multi-tier architectural design
enables PTS, now inBanking™ to permit further development beyond treasury and
capital markets. inBanking™ is modular and can therefore be implemented as
solutions for, example, front office trading, middle office credit or market
risk, or back office settlement. In the
past, NetSol has developed and marketed smaller banking solutions to Citibank in
Pakistan. While there are no assurances, Management hopes to couple the
sophistication of PTS with its own experience in developing and marketing
banking solutions to our advantage.
CQ
Systems
On
January 17, 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire CQ Systems Ltd., a
private company organized under the laws of England and Wales and located
outside London. CQ Systems provides sophisticated accounting and administrative
software, along with associated services, to leasing and finance companies
located in Europe, Asia and Africa. The products include software modules for
asset finance, consumer finance, motor finance, general finance and insurance
premium finance. The modules provide an end-to-end contractual solution - from
underwriting, contract administration and accounting, through asset disposal and
remarketing. Customers include notable European companies such as Scania Finance
GB, DaimlerChrysler Services, Broadcastle PLC, Bank of Scotland Equipment
Finance and Deutsche Leasing Ltd. The
acquisition closed on February 22, 2005 based on March 31, 2004 financial
statements of CQ Systems Ltd. with the payment of approximately $1.7 million in
cash and 675,292 shares of Company common stock based on a $2.46 per share cost
basis. Consideration will be adjusted when March 31, 2005 financials are
received. The final payment of consideration will be made after the completion
of CQ’s March 31, 2006 fiscal year end. There is
no guaranty that the acquisition will benefit NetSol or that NetSol will be able
to make the final consideration payment in after March 31, 2006. NetSol has
expended substantial management time in this transaction and shall continue to
incur costs related to the integration of the operations including audit costs
both of which could otherwise be used to benefit NetSol. Consummation of the
transaction could result in dilution to existing stockholders.
Like the
above-identified acquisition, we will continue to explore merger and acquisition
opportunities, which will benefit us by providing market opportunities or
economies of scale.
Strategic
Alliances
LeaseSoft
is recognized as Solution Blueprint by Intel Corporation. Intel has very
stringent technical and market potential criteria for marking a solution as
solution blueprint. The document is also available online from Intel’s website
http://www.intel.com/business/bss/solutions/blueprints/industry/finance/index.htm
NetSol
and Intel Corporation have a strategic relationship that would potentially
permit NetSol to market its core product, ‘LeaseSoft’, through Intel websites.
In a joint press release made earlier in 2004, by both NetSol and Intel, both
companies would deliver a new Solution Blueprint for its core leasing solution.
With the collaboration to create a world-class blueprint for the leasing and
finance industry, deployment should become even faster and smoother for our
customers. Intel's website defines Intel’s Solution Blueprints as detailed
technical documents that define pre-configured, repeatable solutions based on
successful real-world implementations. Built on Intel® architecture and flexible
building block components, these solutions help deliver increased customer
satisfaction, lower operating costs, and better productivity. Through this
strong relationship, NetSol has been invited by Intel in China and in San
Francisco to present and introduce the company’s core product line to a global
market.
DaimlerChrysler
Services Asia Pacific has established “Application Support Center (ASC)” in
Singapore to facilitate the regional companies in LeaseSoft related matters.
This support center is powered by highly qualified technical and business
personnel. ASC LeaseSoft in conjunction with NetSol Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd.
Lahore are supporting DCS companies in seven different countries in Asia and
this list can increase as other DCS companies from other countries may also opt
for LeaseSoft.
With the
recent deregulation of Pakistan's telecommunications sector and the government's
desire to attract investors to the country, while experiencing an unprecedented
increase in exports, Pakistan is keen to build a solid technology infrastructure
to support the growth expected over the next several years. The areas within
Pakistan expected to receive major information technology investments by the
government are education, public sector automation, railways and the country's
armed forces.
NetSol
Connect, Pvt. Ltd., a wholly owned IP backbone and broadband subsidiary of the
Company, has recently forged a partnership with UK based computer company,
Akhter Computers of U.K. Pursuant to this agreement, NetSol has retained control
of the Company with ownership of 50.1% to Akhter’s 49.9%. This alliance is
designed to permit NetSol to benefit from the potentially high growth of the
telecommunications market by bringing in new technology, new resources and
capital while permitting NetSol to focus on its core competencies of developing
and marketing software. NetSol Akhter acquired, for cash, another small internet
connectivity business named Raabta Online in Pakistan. This acquisition expands
the presence of NetSol Akhter’s connectivity business to at least three major
cities of Pakistan.
In June
2004, the Company entered into a Frame Agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG. This
agreement, which serves as a base line agreement for use of the LeaseSoft
products by DaimlerChrysler Services AG companies and affiliated companies,
represents an endorsement of the LeaseSoft product line and the capabilities of
NetSol to worldwide DaimlerChrysler entities. This endorsement has had a
tremendous impact on our perspective customers, it has helped our sales and
Business Development personnel to market and sell our LeaseSoft solution to blue
chip customers around the world.
In
November 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with The
Innovation Group (“TiG”) whereby the TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Ltd., a Pakistani company,
provides support services enabling TiG to scale solution delivery operations in
key growth markets. TiG-NetSol will build a “Center Of Excellence” in NetSol’s
IT Village in Lahore, Pakistan, with a full back up facility in Bangalore,
India. NetSol owns 50.5 percent of the new venture, with TiG owning the
remaining 49.5 percent.
Technical
Affiliations
We
currently have technical affiliations as: a MicroSoft Certified Partner; a
member of the Intel Early Access Program; and, an Oracle Certified Partner.
MARKETING
AND SELLING
The
Marketing Program
The
Marketing Program
The
Company is aggressively growing the marketing and sales organizations in the
United Kingdom, Australia, Pakistan and the USA. Management believes that the
year 2005 will be a year for growth and the launching of footprints in new
markets, while penetrating in the established markets such as Asia Pacific and
Europe.
While
affiliations and partnering result in potential growth for the Company,
marketing and selling remain essential to building Company revenue. The
objective of the Company's marketing program is to create and sustain preference
and loyalty for NetSol as a leading provider of enterprise solutions, e-services
consulting and software solutions. Marketing is performed at the corporate and
business unit levels. The corporate marketing department has overall
responsibility for communications, advertising, public relations and the website
and also engineers and oversees central marketing and communications programs
for use by each of the business units.
Our
dedicated marketing personnel within the business units undertake a variety of
marketing activities, including sponsoring focused client events to demonstrate
our skills and products, sponsoring and participating in targeted conferences
and holding private briefings with individual companies. We believe that the
industry focus of our sales professionals and our business unit marketing
personnel enhances their knowledge and expertise in these industries and will
generate additional client engagements. With the US technology market slow down,
NetSol marketing teams are concentrating on the overseas markets with gradual
and cautious entry into the US market.
The
Company generally enters into written commitment letters with clients at or
around the time it commences work on a project. These commitment letters
typically contemplate that NetSol and the client will subsequently enter into a
more detailed agreement, although the client's obligations under the commitment
letter are not conditioned upon the execution of the latter agreement. These
written commitments and subsequent agreements contain varying terms and
conditions and the Company does not generally believe it is appropriate to
characterize them as consisting of backlog. In addition, because these written
commitments and agreements often provide that the arrangement can be terminated
with limited advance notice or penalty, the Company does not believe the
projects in process at any one time are a reliable indicator or measure of
expected future revenues. However, there is a very small probability of
cancellation since the client thoroughly scrutinizes the products and only signs
the contract once they are confident that it meets their requirements. In
addition, Netsol has very little past history of termination once the commitment
letter has been signed.
The
Markets
NetSol
provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial industries. In
the global commercial area, our service offerings are marketed to clients in a
wide array of industries including, automotive: chemical; tiles/ceramics;
Internet marketing; software; medical; banks; U.S. higher education and
telecommunication associations and, financial services.
Geographically,
NetSol has operations on the West and East Coast of the United States, Central
Asia, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions.
During
the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, NetSol's revenue mix by major

Fiscal
Performance Overview
We have
effectively expanded our development base and technical capabilities by training
our programmers to provide customized I/T solutions in many other sectors and
not limiting ourselves to the lease and finance industry. We believe that the
offshore development concept has been successful as evidenced by several
companies in India, which according to the recent statistics by the Indian I/T
agency, NASSCOM, showed software exports exceeding $11 billion in 2003-2004 and
$9.5 billion in the year 2002-2003 as opposed to $7 billion in 2001.
NetSol
Technologies PVT Ltd.
Our
subsidiary in Pakistan continues to perform strongly and has enhanced its
capabilities and expanded its sales and marketing activities. In May 2004,
NetSol inaugurated its newly built Technology Campus in Lahore, Pakistan. This
is state of the art, purpose-built and fully dedicated IT and software
development facility, is first of its kind in Pakistan. NetSol also signed a
strategic alliance agreement with the IT ministry of Pakistan to convert the
technology campus into a technology park. By this agreement, the IT ministry
would invest nearly Rs 10.0MN (approximately $150,000) to install fiber optic
lines and improve the bandwidth for the facility. NetSol has relocated its
entire staff of over 250 employees into this facility. As a result of the TiG
joint venture, space in the facility is being developed for a dedicated use to
this project.
The
Lahore operation supports our worldwide customer base of the LeaseSoft suite of
products and all other product offerings. NetSol has continued to lend support
to the Lahore subsidiary to further develop its quality initiatives and
infrastructure. The major initiative in this area is the final stage of phase 1
of the development of the technology campus. The development facility in
Pakistan, being the engine, which drives NetSol, continues to be the major
source of revenue generation. The Pakistan operation has contributed nearly 55%
of 2004, with $3,190,000 in revenues for the current year. This was accomplished
primarily through export of I/T Services and product licensed to the overseas
markets. The total revenue of NetSol Pakistan, including the Pakistan domestic
market, was $3.67 million with profit of $1.63 million.
NetSol
has signed on new customers for LeaseSoft as well as bespoke development
services. For LeaseSoft the following new projects were earned by the
Company:
DaimlerChrysler
Leasing Thailand (DCLT) - Licensing and customization of
LeaseSoft.CMS
This was
the significant break since CMS is the largest of the four applications from the
LeaseSoft suit. DCLT till now had been using other products under LeaseSoft but
now with implementation of CMS, end to end assets side business of DCLT will be
on LeaseSoft.
Toyota
Leasing Thailand (TLT) - Licensing, customization and implementation of
LeaseSoft.CAP
TLT is a
volume leader in captive finance companies in Thailand and it has chosen
NetSol’s LeaseSoft.CAP to automate the credit evaluation process. The project is
currently under way and looking at the NetSol expertise in Leasing and Finance
TLT has also shown very keen interest in NetSol’s LeaseSoft.WFS to power its
wholesale finance business. NetSol also considers it a big strategic break as
once delivering successfully in Thailand NetSol will be in a very good position
to target Toyota Finance companies around the world.
CMM
Evaluation Consultancy Services for PSEB.
As a part
of Ministry of Information Technology’s efforts for the process improvements in
the operations of Pakistani software houses, NetSol, under the auspices of
Pakistan Software Export Board, would be undertaking an exercise for these
consultancy services for different software companies. The key aspects of these
services would be CMM introduction, gap analyses for ISO 9001:2000 compliant
procedures, CMM Level 2 pre-assessments, evaluations and tracking/analyses of
such improvements.
NetSol
has been identified as a premium I/T company in Pakistan. With its matured
products and services, local demand is surging. A few of the recently signed
agreements in the private and public sectors are:
· |
Software
Process Improvement Services for NADRA. (National Database Registration
Authority of Pakistan) |
· |
MM
Training Workshops as consultants for PSEB (Pakistan Software Export Board
). |
· |
Credit
MIS & FIS for PRSP (Punjab Rural Support
Program) |
· |
Electronic
Credit Information Bureau for State Bank of
Pakistan |
· |
Consultancy
& Automation of Pakistan Administrative Staff
College |
The
growing domestic business in Pakistan, as stated above is valued over tens of
millions rupees or hundreds of thousands of US dollars. NetSol has a very strong
pipeline to win many more and major new projects in the public and private
sectors. NetSol will continue to strive to become the most dominant IT solutions
providers in this explosive growth market.
NetSol
Technologies UK Ltd
We
launched our United Kingdom subsidiary in Fiscal 2003. The UK subsidiary is
responsible for the Company’s activities in the UK, Europe and Middle East and
include the spearheading of the sales and marketing efforts for inBanking™,
NetSol’s new treasury and wholesale banking solution; plus ongoing marketing and
sales of the LeaseSoft portfolio of leasing solutions and NetSol’s range of on
and off-shore I/T services.
Depending
solely upon organic growth, the UK company produced $356,000 in revenue for the
current fiscal year or 6% of the Company’s total revenues. The main focus of
this entity is to market the array of banking and leasing solutions in the heart
of the financial district in London and the rest of Europe. In May 2004, NetSol
announced the signing of an agreement to develop new software programs for The
Innovation Group (“TiG”), a provider of profit improvement solutions to the
insurance industry. This relationship was further bolstered by the relationship
consummated in November 2004 with TiG to form TiG-NetSol Pvt.
Most
recently, the UK operations entered into agreements with DCD Group UK, TiG and
Habib Allied Bank in the UK. The revenue contribution for NetSol UK was $357,000
or about 6.2% of the revenues of 2004.
While
there is no guaranty that the transaction with be consummated, the proposed
acquisition of CQ Systems Ltd. with further provide a platform for the LeaseSoft
suite of products in the UK and Europe.
NetSol-Abraxas
The
Australian market continues to be active as NetSol maintains its customers such
as Yamaha Motors, GMAC Australia, St. George Bank, DaimlerChrysler Finance in
New Zealand, and Volvo Australia. We continue to pursue new customers and new
business from its existing customers for its core product lines.
We
recently signed an agreement with Australian Motor Finance Pty Ltd., which
provides credit to automobile consumers with either very little credit history
or minor credit problems. Under the terms of this agreement, NetSol will design
and implement a point of sale system for AMF’s wholesale funding initiatives and
permits NetSol to participate in transaction-based revenue sharing. We signed
Yamaha Motors in Australia and DaimlerChrysler Finance in New Zealand as new
customers of the LeaseSoft suite. There are a number of new prospects that are
in varying degrees of the decision-making process. The Australian subsidiary
contributed 5% of our revenues in fiscal year 2004, with $264,000 in revenues.
NetSol
CONNECT-NetSol Akhter
In August
2003, NetSol entered into an agreement with United Kingdom based Akhtar Group
PLC (Akhtar). Under the terms of the agreement, Akhtar Group acquired 49.9
percent of our subsidiary, Pakistan based NetSol Connect PTV Ltd., an Internet
service provider (ISP) in Pakistan. As part of this Agreement, NetSolCONNECT
changed its name to NetSol Akhter. As part of this Agreement, NetSolCONNECT
changed its name to NetSol Akhter. A change in the ownership structure in
September 2003 and the consolidation and readjustment of the revenue model
caused revenue reduction in fiscal year 2004 from as compared to the fiscal year
2003. However, of late, NetSol Connect has steadily grown its presence in tri
cities (Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.) The company acquired a small internet
online company called Raabta Online in early 2004. This created a national
presence for wireless broadband business in key markets that have experienced
explosive growth. The telecom sector in Pakistan has a potential market size
exceeding $100Million. NetSol Connect with its new laser and wireless
technologies has a potential to become a major brand in Pakistan.
NetSol
CONNECT was launched in early 2000 in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city. Prior to
NetSol CONNECT's technology being brought to Karachi, the concept of high speed
"ISP" backbone infrastructure was new in Pakistan. NetSol was the first company
to turn such concept into reality. In the past two years, NetSol CONNECT has
become the second largest high speed and fast access ISP in Karachi. NetSol
believes the ISP space is still in its infancy and the growth prospects are
extremely good. By the end of Fiscal year 2002, the direct membership was over
40,000 subscribers. The main competitor of NetSol CONNECT has a subscriber base
in the range of 40,000-50,000 in Karachi and has been in business for over 7
years. The partnership with Akhtar Computers is designed to rollout the services
of connectivity and wireless to the Pakistani national market. This subsidiary
contributed 14% of the revenues in fiscal year 2004, with $779,000 in
revenues.
Akhtar,
one of the oldest established computer companies in the UK, is well recognized
as a provider of managed Internet services, integrated networks, both local area
networks and wide area networks, as well as metropolitan area networks within
the UK. Akhter’s proprietary broadband technologies and solutions will provide
NetSol CONNECT a technologically strong platform for strengthening its
telecommunications infrastructure within Pakistan with a goal of becoming a
leading provider of broadband Internet access to both residential and commercial
users.
The
initial stage of the agreement provides NetSol with an investment of up to $1
million in cash to launch a broadband infrastructure in Karachi, the largest
business hub in Pakistan. The initial infrastructure will provide a 155MB
backbone and a 5MB broadband to customer premises using a proprietary broadband
technology and an infrastructure consisting of 20 hubs. After the successful
launch of the initial six-month beta program to Karachi's residential and
commercial customers, additional rollouts of the hubs are scheduled in Lahore
and Islamabad within a 12-month period. The second investment into the program
could provide up to $20 million to create the first Terabit backbone in
Pakistan. This will allow NetSol to provide data, voice, video and other
multi-media services to major cities within Pakistan.
NetSol
Akhter Pvt Ltd. shall continue to aggressively seek revenues to
growth.
NetSol
USA
In May
2003, NetSol acquired the assets of Altvia Technologies, Inc. (“Altvia”). Altvia
provided NetSol an experienced management team familiar with the offshore
software development model. From 2000-2003, Altvia maintained an offshore
development team in Islamabad, Pakistan. Altvia’s clients included major
member-based higher education and telecommunications trade associations in the
Washington, D.C. and Baltimore area. The acquisition allows NetSol to extend its
business presence in the United States, specifically in the high-growth,
greater-Washington, D.C. market. NetSol USA functions as the service provider
for the US based customers both in the consulting services area as well as
project management. The office provides greater access to the emerging East
Coast markets.
In the
last fiscal year, NetSol USA signed agreements with Capital Stream, a Washington
based software developer specializing in software to financial sectors. The
revenue generated in fiscal year 2004 from Capital Stream and other US based
customers was in excess of $675,00. NetSol USA represented 12% of total, or
$677,000, 2004 revenues.
LeaseSoft
Sales
LeaseSoft
received a major recognition when DaimlerChrysler Services (DCS) AG, Germany
signed a global frame agreement with NetSol for LeaseSoft. Under terms of the
open-ended global frame contract, LeaseSoft is named as one of the strategic,
asset-based, finance software solutions for DCS. In addition to its LeaseSoft
product suite, NetSol could also provide DCS with a range of fixed-rate,
contractual professional and IT services, which are also covered by the frame
agreement. NetSol's professional services will include product customization,
implementation, technical support, ongoing maintenance and upgrades. The
company's technology and consulting services will include project management,
systems analysis and business process reengineering.
LeaseSoft
is establishing itself as a dependable and preferred system in the niche market
of asset based lease and finance. In 2003-2004, NetSol was able to sell a number
of LeaseSoft licenses in Asia, details of which are as follows:
LeaseSoft.CAP
DaimlerChrysler Leasing Thailand (“DCLT”). DCLT
was already using LeaseSoft.WFS for managing their wholesale finance business
and as soon as they decided to aggressively follow retail side leasing in
Thailand they opted for NetSol’s Credit Application Processing System.
LeaseSoft.CAP was successfully implemented at DCLT and is enabling DCLT to
process larger numbers of applications per given period of time while
simultaneously providing the functionalities to reduce the probability of
default per approved loan. After the successful implementation of LeaseSoft.CAP,
DCLT has opted for LeaseSoft.CMS to power their complete operations on retail
side financing.
LeaseSoft.CAP
at Toyota Leasing Thailand (TLT). Toyota
Leasing Thailand opted for LeaseSoft.CAP to automate the credit approval cycle
through an objective point score based approval system implemented through a
highly intensive workflow. TLT is a volume leader in Captive Finance companies
in Thailand and getting TLT as LeaseSoft customer means that NetSol has best of
both worlds in Thailand, i.e., DaimlerChrysler Leasing Thailand serving the
Elite and prestige class as well as TLT the volume leaders in the country. This
implementation is based on Oracle and Linux and was completed in January 2005.
After the successful implementation of LeaseSoft.CAP, TLT has opted for a
customized LeaseSoft module for use in Thailand.
LeaseSoft.WFS
Version upgrade at DaimlerChrysler Leasing Thailand (DCLT). .DCLT
was using LeaseSoft.WFS version 3.2. However, the new 4.1 version had enhanced
features and to make use of the new functionality set DCLT upgraded their
version to the latest one.
NetSol
also completed the on going implementation of LeaseSoft.WFS at DaimlerChrysler
Services Korea. A peculiar aspect of this implementation is that it is an off
site implementation where by the users sit and use the system in Korea where as
the system in reality is hosted in Singapore.
Technology
Campus
We broke
ground for our Technology Campus in January 2000 with a three-phase plan of
completion. Initially, we anticipated the completion of Phase One by fall 2001,
but due to the delay in financing, and other challenges we faced, the completion
was delayed. However, Phase One is complete and the Lahore operation began
moving into the Technology Campus in May 2004. By relocating the entire Lahore
operation from its current leased premises to the Campus, we will save
approximately $150,000 annually. As the only technology campus of its size in
Pakistan, NetSol’s move into its Campus received statewide news coverage. Once
fully operational and completed, the campus is expected to house over 2,500 I/T
professionals in approximately three acres of land. The campus site is located
in Pakistan's second largest city, Lahore, with a population of six million. An
educational and cultural center, the city is home to most of the leading
technology oriented academia of Pakistan including names like LUMS, NU-FAST and
UET. These institutions are also the source of quality I/T resources for us.
Lahore is a modern city with very good communication infrastructure and road
network, The Technology campus is located at about a 5-minute drive from the
newly constructed advanced and high-tech Lahore International Airport. This
campus will be the first purpose built software building with state of the art
technology and communications infrastructure in Pakistan. We have made this
investment to attract contracts and projects from blue chip customers from all
over the world.
Employees
We
believe we have developed a strong corporate culture that is critical to our
success. Our key values are delivering world-class quality software,
client-focused timely delivery, leadership, long-term relationships, creativity,
openness and transparency and professional growth. The services provided by
NetSol require proficiency in many fields, such as computer sciences,
programming, mathematics, physics, engineering, and communication and
presentation skills. Almost every one of our software developers is proficient
in the English language. English is the second most spoken language in Pakistan
and is mandatory in middle and high schools.
To
encourage all employees to build on our core values, we reward teamwork and
promote individuals who demonstrate these values. NetSol offers all of its
employees the opportunity to participate in its stock option program. Also, we
have an intensive orientation program for new employees to introduce our core
values and a number of internal communications and training initiatives defining
and promoting these core values. We believe that our growth and success are
attributable in large part to the high caliber of our employees and our
commitment to maintain the values on which our success has been based. NetSol
worldwide is an equal opportunity employer. NetSol attracts professionals not
just from Pakistan, where it is very well known, but also I/T professionals
living overseas.
NetSol
believes it has gathered, over the course of many years, a team of very loyal,
dedicated and committed employees. Their continuous support and belief in the
management has been demonstrated by their further investment of cash. Most of
these employees have exercised their stock options during very difficult times
for us. Management believes that its employees are the most valuable asset of
NetSol.
There is
significant competition for employees with the skills required to perform the
services we offer. We believe that we have been successful in our efforts to
attract and retain the highest level of talent available, in part because of the
emphasis on core values, training and professional growth. We intend to continue
to recruit, hire and promote employees who share this vision.
As of
June 30, 2004, we had 294 full-time employees; comprised of 195 I/T project
personnel, 55 employees in general and administration and 44 employees in sales
and marketing. There are 8 employees in the United States, 270 employees in
Pakistan, 6 in Australia and 10 in the United Kingdom. None of our employees are
subject to a collective bargaining agreement.
Competition
Neither a
single company nor a small number of companies dominate the I/T market in the
space in which we compete. A substantial number of companies offer services that
overlap and are competitive with those offered by NetSol. Some of these are
large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and computer consulting
firms that have greater financial resources than NetSol and, in some cases, may
have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by NetSol.
Some of
our competitors are International Decisions Systems, Inc., McCue Systems, EDW,
Data Scan, Inc., KPMG, CresSoft Pvt Ltd., Kalsoft, Systems Limited, Cybernet
Pvt. Ltd. and SouthPac Australia. These companies are scattered worldwide
geographically. In terms of offshore development, we are in competition with
some of the Indian companies such as Wipro, HCL, TCS, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway
and others. Many of the competitors of NetSol have longer operating history,
larger client bases, and longer relationships with clients, greater brand or
name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, and public
relations resources than NetSol. Existing or future competitors may develop or
offer services that are comparable or superior to ours at a lower price, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Customers
Some of
the customers of NetSol include: DaimlerChrysler Services AG; DaimlerChrysler
Asia Pacific - Singapore; Mercedes Benz Finance - Japan; Yamaha Motors Finance -
Australia; Tung-Yang Leasing Company Taiwan; Debis Portfolio Systems - UK;
DaimlerChrysler Services - Australia; DaimlerChrysler Leasing - Thailand;
DaimlerChrysler Services - Korea; UMF Leasing Singapore; and, DaimlerChrysler
Services New Zealand. In addition, NetSol provides offshore development and
customized I/T solutions to blue chip customers such as Citibank Pakistan, DCD
Holding UK, TIG Plc in UK and, Habib Allied Bank UK. With the Altvia
acquisition, NetSol has acquired, as clients, some of the most well known higher
education and telecommunications associations based in the United States. NetSol
is also a strategic business partner for DaimlerChrysler Services (which
consists of a group of many companies), which accounts for approximately 20% of
our revenue. No other individual client represents more than 10% of the revenue
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004.
As
compared to the previous year, NetSol (Pvt.) Ltd. was able to materialize a
number of services contracts within the local Pakistani public and defense
sectors. An important aspect of these contracts is that not all of them were
solely focusing on software development and engineering. This year, NetSol, has
gone a step further by providing Quality Assurance, Business Process
Re-engineering and CMM consultancy services to organizations so as to improve
their quality of operations and services. These clients include private as well
as public sector enterprises. Also, NetSol was successful in consolidating its
standing as one of the preferred solutions providers for the Military sector and
Defense organizations. The service offering portfolio of NetSol has now
diversified into a comprehensive supply chain of end to end services and
solutions catering to BPR, consultancies, applications development, engineering
as well as other supporting processes

The
Internet
We are
committed to regaining and extending the advantages of our direct model approach
by moving even greater volumes of product sales, service and support to the
Internet. The Internet provides greater convenience and efficiency to customers
and, in turn, to us. We receive 150,000 hits per month to www.netsoltek.com. We also
maintain a product specific website for LeaseSoft at www.leasesoft.biz.
Through
our Web sites, customers, potential customers and investors can access a wide
range of information about our product offerings, can configure and purchase
systems on-line, and can access volumes of support and technical information
about us.
Operations
Our
headquarters are in Calabasas, California. Nearly 90% of the production and
development is conducted at NetSol PK in Lahore, Pakistan. The other 10% of
development is conducted in the Proximity Development Center or "PDC" in
Adelaide, Australia. The majority of the marketing is conducted through NetSol
USA, NetSol Abraxas Australia, and NetSol UK. These are the core operating
companies engaged in developing and marketing IT solutions and software
development and market.
NetSol UK
services and supports the clients in the UK and Europe. NetSol PK services and
supports the customers in the Asia and South Asia regions.
A
significant portion of our software is developed in Pakistan. Despite global
unrest, regional tension and downturn in the US markets, the economy of Pakistan
is bouncing back. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, the foreign
exchange reserve has exceeded $13.0 billion in comparison with just below $2.0
billion in 2000. The stock market in Pakistan is the most bullish in the Asia
Pacific region with market growth over 300% year to date (Karachi Stock Exchange
on October 18, 2001 was at 1,103 points vs. 5,500 points on May 20, 2004).
Pakistan, now a close US ally, is recognized by the western world as becoming a
very conducive and attractive country for foreign collaboration and investments.
We believe that we are in a strong position to continue to use this offshore
model, which includes competitive price advantage, to serve our customers. Just
recently Moody’s International assessed Pakistan as less vulnerable than many
countries in the Asia Pacific region. Also, Standard & Poor’s rating on
Pakistan has been improved to positive. The present government has taken major
bold steps to attract new foreign investment and bolster the local economy.
Foreign Direct Investment exceeded $900 million, a record high, in 2004. The
trend continues to grow steadily. The US dollar reserves of State Bank of
Pakistan have shot up over $13 billion from less than $1 billion in 2000.
Overall, the economy of Pakistan is experiencing substantial growth as
demonstrated by the record high 6.1% growth of the gross domestic product in
2004. The confidence of the local investors and foreign investors has been
undoubtedly enhanced resulting in stronger demand of new listing in the stock
markets. Most recently the telecom sector received a boost when the I/T ministry
was able to successfully auction two new mobile phones licenses for a total of
$592 million to two European Telecom conglomerates. This was a landmark
development and it simply underscores the confidence and growing interest of
foreign companies in investing in Pakistan.
NetSol
USA functions as the service provider for US based customers both in the
consulting services area as well as in the project management. In addition, the
Maryland office provides greater access to the emerging markets on the East
Coast. NetSol USA is exploring opportunities for marketing alliances with local
companies to further enhance its marketing capabilities.
Organization
NetSol
Technologies, Inc. (formerly NetSol International, Inc.) was founded in 1997 and
is organized as a Nevada corporation. We amended our Articles of Incorporation
on March 20, 2002 to change our name to NetSol Technologies, Inc.
Our
success, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on our ability to: (a)
minimize additional losses in our operations; (b) raise funds for continued
operations and growth; and, (c) enhance and streamline sales and marketing
efforts in the United States, Asia Pacific region, Pakistan, Europe, Japan and
Australia. However, management's outlook for the continuing operations, which
has been consolidated and has been streamlined, remains optimistic and bullish.
With continued emphasis on a shift in product mix towards the higher margin
consulting services, we anticipate to be able to continue to improve operating
results at its core by reducing costs and improving gross margins.
Intellectual
Property
We rely
upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, as well
as common law trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect our
proprietary rights. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees,
generally require our consultants and clients to enter into these agreements,
and limits access to and distribution of our proprietary information. The NetSol
logo and name, as well as the LeaseSoft logo and product name have been
copyrighted and trademark registered in Pakistan. An application has been filed
in the US Patent and Trademark Office for the trademark
“inBanking”.
Governmental
Approval and Regulation
Our
current operations do not require specific governmental approvals. Like all
companies, including those with multinational subsidiaries, we are subject to
the laws of the countries in which we maintain subsidiaries and conduct
operations. Pakistani law allows a 15-year tax holiday on exports of I/T
products and services. There are no State Bank restrictions on profits and
dividends repatriation. Accordingly, foreign-based companies are free to invest
safely in Pakistan and at the same time transfer their investment out of
Pakistan without any approvals or notices. The present Pakistani government has
effectively reformed the policies and regulations effecting foreign investors
and multinational companies thus, making Pakistan an attractive and friendly
country in which to do business.
MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol's
financial position and results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2004
and the quarter and six months ending December 31, 2004.
Forward-Looking
Information.
This
report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to
NetSol that is based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions
made by and information currently available to its management. When used in this
report, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend",
"plan", and similar expressions as they relate to NetSol or its management, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect
management's current view of NetSol with respect to future events and are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should any of these
risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this
report as anticipated, estimated or expected. NetSol's realization of its
business aims could be materially and adversely affected by any technical or
other problems in, or difficulties with, planned funding and technologies, third
party technologies which render NetSol's technologies obsolete, the
unavailability of required third party technology licenses on commercially
reasonable terms, the loss of key research and development personnel, the
inability or failure to recruit and retain qualified research and development
personnel, or the adoption of technology standards which are different from
technologies around which the Company's business ultimately is built. NetSol
does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Management
has set the following new goals for NetSol’s next 12 months.
Initiatives
and Investment to Grow Capabilities
· |
Enhance
Software Design, Engineering and Service Delivery Capabilities by
increasing investment in training. |
· |
Enhance
and invest in R&D or between 5-7% of yearly budgets in financial,

Effectively
position and marketing campaign for inBanking. This is a potentially big
revenue generator in the banking domain for which NetSol has already
invested significant time and resources towards completing the development
of this application. |
With
these goals in mind, we have entered in to the following
arrangements:
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 on
February 22, 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 from 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 strategic relationship with a UK based
public company, TiG Plc. A joint venture was formed by the two companies to
create a new company, TiG NetSol Pvt. Ltd., with 50% ownership by the Company
and 49.9% ownership by TiG. The creation of this joint venture will provide new
revenues for NetSol as TiG plans to outsource its 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 a
significant size 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, will invest a total of $1 million or $500,000 each 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.
LeaseSoft
Distributors. NetSol is
also very active in appointing key distributors in South East Asia and in Europe
for its LeaseSoft products. As soon as we have signed these agreements, the
shareholders will be notified through press release.
DaimlerChrysler.
NetSol
signed a global frame agreement with DaimlerChrysler, Germany, for LeaseSoft
products and services that now expands the market to over 60 countries.
DaimlerChrysler as a group represents the largest customer for NetSol. Since the
signing of the 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.
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 NetSol to Intel
partners worldwide.
Funding
and Investor Relations.
|
· |
We
continue to explore various means and the most cost efficient methods to
inject new capital for the explosive growth we are experiencing. With this
in mind, the Company has entered into an agreement with AKD Securities to
conduct a pre-IPO and IPO of the shares of common stock of NetSol
Technologies Ltd., its subsidiary located in Lahore, Pakistan on the
Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). |
|
· |
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. |
Improving
the Bottom Line.
|
· |
Continue
to review costs at every level. |
|
· |
Discontinue
any programs, projects or offices that are not producing desirable and
positive results. |
|
· |
Consistently
improving quality standards and work to achieve CMM Level 5 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 to improve gross margins while
maintaining competitiveness. |
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.. 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 NETSOL
NetSol
has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol
Positive
trends:
|
· |
Outsourcing
of services and software development is growing
worldwide. |
|
· |
Burgeoning
Chinese markets and economic boom. |
|
· |
Overall
economic expansion worldwide and explosive growth in the merging markets
specifically. |
|
· |
Regional
stability and improving political environment between Pakistan and
India. |
|
· |
Economic
turnaround in Pakistan including: a steady increase in gross domestic
product; much stronger dollar reserves, which is at an all time high of
over $13 billion; stabilizing reforms of government and financial
institutions; improved credit ratings in the western markets, and
elimination of corruption at the highest level. |
|
· |
Stronger
ties between the US and Pakistan creating new investment and trade
opportunities. |
|
· |
Major
turnarounds in the telecom sector as new opportunities are arising due to
privatization, new incentives, reduction of bandwidth prices and
tariffs. |
Negative
trends:
|
· |
The
disturbance in Middle East and rising terrorist activities post 9/11
worldwide have resulted in issuance of travel advisory in some of the most
opportunistic markets. In addition, travel restrictions and new
immigration laws provide delays and limitations on business travel.
|
|
· |
The
potential impact of higher U.S. interest rates including, but not limited
to, fear of inflation that may drive down IT 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 budges. |
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 tax able temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amount of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. 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. 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 estimate the
allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net
deferred tax assets.
CHANGE
IN MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Board of
Directors
At the
2005 Annual Shareholders Meeting a seven member board was elected. The
shareholders voted in an overwhelming majority for the new slate of directors.
The board now consists of Mr. Najeeb U. Ghauri, Mr. Jim Moody, Mr. Salim Ghauri,
Mr. Eugen Beckert, Mr. Naeem U. Ghauri, Mr. Shahid Burki, and Mr. Irfan Mustafa.
Mr. Shabir Randeree did not stand for reelection. Mr. Randeree’s refusal to
stand for reelection is not of the result of any disagreement with NetSol
relating to our operations, policies or practices.
Committees
The Audit
committee is made up of Mr. Jim Moody as chair, Mr. Mustafa and Mr. Beckert as
members. The Compensation committee currently consists of Mr. Burki as its
chairman and Mr. Mustafa as its member. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee currently consists of Mr. Beckert as chairman and Mr. Moody as
members. Replacements for Mr. Randeree on the Compensation and Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committees will be made at the next board of directors
meeting.

PRO-FORMA
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,
2004
(UNAUDITED)
The
following unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of
Operations have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements

NETSOL
TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
PRO-FORMA
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,
2003
(UNAUDITED)
The
following unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of
Operations has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements
of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (“NetSol”) as of June 30, 2003 and the audited
financial statements of CQ Systems Limited (a UK corporation) (“CQ Systems”) as
of March 31, 2003. The unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and
Statement of Operations reflect the 100% acquisition of CQ Systems by NetSol
under a stock purchase agreement. The Company has accounted for the acquisition
under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. These
pro-forma statements assumes the acquisition was consummated as of July 1, 2002,
the beginning of NetSol Technologies fiscal year.
The
estimated purchase price is £3,561,094 or $6,677,052 of which one-half is due in
cash and shares of NetSol’s common stock at closing. The other half is due
within one year, no interest accrues on the outstanding balance. The estimated
purchase price is based on the March 31, 2004 audited financial statements of CQ
Systems. The final purchase price will be adjusted either up or down when the
audited March 31, 2005 financial statements are completed.
The
Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of NetSol,
related Notes to the financial statements, and the Financial Statements of CQ
Systems. The Pro-Forma statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations would actually have been if the
acquisition of CQ Systems had occurred on the date indicated or to project the
Company’s results of operations for any future period or date. The Pro-Forma
adjustments, as described in the accompanying data, are based on available
information and the assumptions set forth in the notes below, which management
believes are reasonable.

PRO-FORMA
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
The
following unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of
Operations have been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial
statements of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (“NetSol”) for the six months ending
December, 2004 and the unaudited financial statements of CQ Systems Limited (a
UK corporation) (“CQ Systems”) for the nine months ending December 31, 2004. The
unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of
Operations reflect the 100% acquisition of CQ Systems by NetSol under a stock
purchase agreement. The Company has accounted for the acquisition under the
purchase method of accounting for business combinations. These pro-forma
statements assumes the acquisition was consummated as of July 1, 2003, the
beginning of NetSol Technologies fiscal year.
The
estimated purchase price is £3,561,094 or $6,677,052 of which one-half is due in
cash and shares of NetSol’s common stock at closing. The other half is due
within one year, no interest accrues on the outstanding balance. The estimated
purchase price is based on the March 31, 2004 audited financial statements of CQ
Systems. The final purchase price will be adjusted either up or down when the
audited March 31, 2005 financial statements are completed.
The
Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of NetSol,
related Notes to the financial statements, and the Financial Statements of CQ
Systems. The Pro-Forma statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations would actually have been if the
acquisition of CQ Systems had occurred on the date indicated or to project the
Company’s results of operations for any future period or date. The Pro-Forma
adjustments, as described in the accompanying data, are based on available
information and the assumptions set forth in the notes below, which management
believes are reasonable.

The total
consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2004 was $5,749,062 as compared to
$3,745,386 in fiscal year 2003. This is a nearly 53% increase in revenue. The
increase is attributable to new orders of licenses and an increase in services
business, including additional maintenance work. 70% of
the increase is attributable to new licenses orders and 30% to an increase in
services business. Management believes that the increase in licensing revenue
and the increase in services business is attributable to the overall surge in
demand of NetSol products. The achievement of CMM level 4 quality standard in
2004 is also a contributing factor of global and rising demand of NetSol
software applications. In addition, NetSol entered into frame agreement with
DaimlerChrysler Services in Germany that pre-qualified NetSol to participate in
providing software and services to many new countries.
NetSol
has made significant progress in new customer acquisition. All of the Company’s
owned subsidiaries have signed contracts with new customers. In the current
quarter, NetSol, as a group, has signed five new customers. All of the new
relationships would add to the top line over the next six months as well as
contributing to revenue growth. The Company added a few new customers such as,
Capital Stream in USA, Cal Portland Cement in USA, Habib Allied Bank, DCD Group,
enhancement in the Yamaha Motors project, DaimlerChrysler New Zealand and a few
local customers in the Pakistan region. NetSol continues to nurture and grow its
relationship with its existing customers, both in sales of new product licenses
and professional services.
The
decrease in NetSolConnect’s revenue in 2004 as compared to 2003 was attributable
to a change in overall management team and strategy. NetSol Connect sold off 49%
of the business to a UK based Company, Akhter Computers in September 2003. This
resulted, as expected, in a modification in business strategy focusing on high
margins which correspondingly had a lower immediate revenue.
Its U.S.
subsidiary, NetSol USA, has created a growing niche in the “not-for-profit”
business space in the Washington D. C. area. The Washington D.C. area office
continues to sign new business for both its Knowledge Base Product and
Professional services.
NetSol UK
continues its business development activities and has seen good traction in its
sales pipeline. The UK office recently signed a major new customer in the
insurance business. The relationship with this publicly traded UK company has
the potential to bring significant new recurring revenues to the subsidiary.
NetSol UK has ongoing relationships with Habib Allied Bank and DCD Group. These
relationships are bringing recurring revenues and are expected to continue in
the near term.
As a
direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems
with DaimlerChrysler, we are noticing an increasing demand for LeaseSoft.
Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a
100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip
companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe and Pakistan. The crown jewel of
our product line “CMS’ (“Contract Management System”) which was sold to three
companies of DaimlerChrysler Asia Pacific Region in 2001 for a combined value in
excess of two million dollars was implemented and delivered to customers in
2003. 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 I/T spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell
several new licenses in fiscal year 2004 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 $3,092,685 for year ended June 30, 2004 as compared with $1,966,393
for the same period of the previous year. This is a 57% increase. The gross
profit percentage has increased modestly to approximately 54% in the current
fiscal year from approximately 53%. While the cost of sales and the cost of
delivery of projects have both been reduced in the current year, the Company
maintained all its delivery commitments and has won new business from existing
and new customers. While management is striving to negotiate better pricing on
new agreements, the Company has been required to react to overall general
economic factors in determining its present pricing structure. The gross profit
margin was also improved due to improved quality standards such as achieving the
assessment of CMM Level 3 in 2003.
Operating
expenses were $5,800,703 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to
$4,434,643 for the year ended June 30, 2003. During the years ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, the Company issued 48,613 and 93,400 restricted common shares in
exchange for services rendered, respectively. The Company recorded this non-cash
compensation expense of $48,240 and $39,200 for the years ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, respectively. Total professional service expense, including non-cash
compensation, was $464,332 and $272,447 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company
recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $1,284,090 and $1,183,502,
included in this increase is the addition of the completed Lahore facility.
Salaries and wages expenses were $1,493,252 and $934,383 for the years ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, or an increase of $558,869 or 60%. The
addition of new management level employees and consultants from the Altvia
acquisition and new employees at our UK subsidiary, as well as an increase in
sales and administration employees resulted in the increase. In addition, key
officers were given a pay raise effective January 1, 2004, the first in
company’s history. Two of the officers have agreed to take the incremental
compensation against exercising options granted to them. General and
administrative expenses were $1,759,607 and $956,644 for the years ended June
30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, an increase of $802,963. In the current year,
the general and administrative expense includes non-recurring expenses for
moving both the headquarters office and the Pakistan companies into the new
facility, $105,608 in costs for placing the convertible debenture and $122,500
for settlement of legal disputes. Also, the Company had to incur extra costs for
executing the reverse split of its common stock through the proxy process,
annual shareholders meeting including proxies mailing and other administrative
related costs and travel expenses increased by approximately $105,934.
Selling
and marketing expenses increased to $253,701 for the year ended June 30, 2004 as
compared to $76,136 for the year ended June 30, 2003, reflecting the growing
sales activity of the Company. The Company wrote-off, as uncollectible, bad
debts of $219,909 and $415,384, during the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. In addition, the Company evaluated the goodwill value of certain
of its subsidiaries and recorded an impairment of $203,312 and $393,388 during
the years ended June 30, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
The loss
from operations in fiscal year 2004 was $2,708,018 which is a 9.71% increase
from $2,468,250 in fiscal year 2003. Included in this amount is are non-cash
charges of depreciation and amortization of $1,284,090, settlement expenses of
$122,500, impairment of assets of $203,302 and bad debt expense of $219,909. Net
losses from continued operations in fiscal year 2004 was $2,785,369 compared to
$2,615,851 in fiscal year 2003 or 6.48% increase. The current fiscal year amount
includes $273,159 add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect
owned by another party. The Company also recognized non-recurring expenses
including $137,230 expense for the beneficial conversion feature on notes
payable and convertible debenture, a gain of $104,088, from writing off a note
payable in one of the subsidiaries that had been paid through the issuance of
stock by the parent in the prior year and a gain of $216,230 from the settlement
of a debt, and placement fees for the debenture of $105,608. The net loss per
share was $0.32 in 2004 compared to $0.47 in 2003. The total weighted average of
shares outstanding basic and diluted was 7.9 million against 4.5 million in
2003.
The
Company's cash position was $871,161 at June 30, 2004 compared to $214,490 at
June 30, 2003. In addition the Company had $391,403 in certificates of deposit,
of which $121,163 is being used as collateral for the financing of the
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The total cash position, including
the certificates of deposits, was $1,260,000 million as of June 30,
2004.
Management
expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future
quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In addition, the
Company anticipates additional exercises of investor warrants and employee stock
options in the current and subsequent quarters. The Company has consistently
improved its cash position in last four quarters through investors’ exercise of
warrants, employee options exercised, private placements and the signing of new
business. We anticipate this trend to continue in the current and future
quarters, further improving the cash resources and 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, grow 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.

This
reflects an increase of $1,514,882 or 125.37% in the current quarter as compared
to the quarter ended December 30, 2003. The increase is attributable to new
orders of licenses and an increase in services business, including additional
maintenance work. The Company’s biggest revenue growth was achieved in all three
of its Pakistan based subsidiaries, which generated sales both domestically and
internationally. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT
services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. The export licenses of LeaseSoft
and maintenance related services surged primarily due to the most recent
endorsement by our biggest customer DaimlerChrysler of Germany. NetSol and
DaimlerChrysler signed a global frame agreement that added new revenues and
assisted in acquiring new customers such as Toyota Leasing Thailand and
Mauritius Commercial Bank. The impressive growth in revenue is also attributed
to several domestic contracts won in the second half of 2004 in
Pakistan.
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 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 has been managing several projects with Seattle based Capital Stream
since November 2003. While the Capital Stream project generated strong revenue
since its inception, it is now at the final stage of completion.
NetSol UK
continues its business development activities and has seen good traction in its
sales pipeline. NetSol UK added a very strategic new customer TiG (“The
Innovation Group”), a publicly listed UK company. We believe our relationship
with TiG will yield significant new recurring revenues to the subsidiary. NetSol
UK has ongoing relationships with Habib Allied Bank and DCD Group. These
relationships are bringing recurring revenues and are expected to continue in
the near term.
As a
direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems
with DaimlerChrysler, we are noticing an increasing demand for LeaseSoft.
Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a
100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip
companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe and Pakistan. The crown jewel of
our product line “CMS’ (“Contract Management System”) which was sold to three
companies of DaimlerChrysler Asia Pacific Region in 2001 for a combined value in
excess of two million dollars was implemented and delivered to customers in
2003. Based on ELA, (Equipment and Leasing Association of N. America) the size
of the world market for the leasing and financing industry is in excess of $500
billion of which the software sector represents over a billion dollars. A number
of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This
places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT
spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell several new
licenses in fiscal year 2005 that could potentially increase the sales and
bottom line. As the Company sells more of these licenses, management believes it
is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices
of these products vary from $100,000 to $500,000 with additional charges for
customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year. The Company, in
parallel, has developed banking applications software to boost its product line
and these systems were sold to Citibank and Askari Banks in Pakistan in 2002.
New customers in the banking sector are also growing and the Company expects
substantial growth in this area in the coming year.
The gross
profit was $1,894,254 in the quarter ending December 31, 2004 as compared with
$718,009 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of
$1,176,245. The gross profit percentage has increased to approximately 69% in
the quarter ended December 31, 2004 from approximately 59% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003. In comparison to the prior quarter ended September 30, 2004,
the cost of sales increased approximately $77,326, revenues increased $664,922,
and an overall increase of 6% in gross profit.
Operating
expenses were $1,377,241 for the quarter ending December 31, 2004 as compared to
$1,196,858, for the corresponding period last year. The increase is selling and
marketing expenses and salaries is due to the expansion of our selling efforts.
The Company has streamlined its operations by consolidation, divestment and
enhanced operating efficiencies. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted
to $316,983 and $303,562 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $447,984 and $278,909 for
the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $169,075 from the
corresponding period last year.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $135,352 and $27,465, in the quarter ended December
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, reflecting the growing sales activity of the
Company. The Company wrote-off as uncollectible bad debts of $0 in the current
quarter compared to $41,188 for the comparable prior period in the prior year.
Professional services expense increased to $140,971 in the quarter ended
December 31, 2004, from $84,288 in the corresponding period last
year.
Income
from operations was $517,013 compared to a loss of $478,849 for the quarters
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents a decrease of
$995,862 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 $152,000 compared to net losses of $458,509 for the quarters ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This is an increase of 108% compared
to the prior year. The add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol
Connect owned by another party was $(809) compared to $58,029. During the
current quarter, the Company also recognized an expense of $194,416 for the
beneficial conversion feature on convertible debentures, an expense of $221,614
for the fair market value of warrants issued and a gain of $139,367 from the
settlement of a debt. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.01 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2004 as compared with a loss per share of
$0.06 for the corresponding period last year.
The net
EBITDA income was $468,983 compared to loss of $154,947 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $316,983 and $303,562 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.

profit percentage has increased 10.53% to 66.94% in the current fiscal year from
56.41% for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The
increase in gross profit margins is due to repeat sales of some licenses to new

for the six-month period ending December 31, 2004 as compared to
$2,431,525, for the corresponding period last fiscal year for an increase of

and marketing expenses increased to $254,700 in the six-month period ended
December 31, 2004 as compared to $46,687 in the six-month period ended

$93,506 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Professional services expense increased to $255,305 in the six-month period

year.
Income from continued operations was $659,079
compared
to loss of $1,201,281
for the
six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents
an increase of $1,860,360 for the six-month period compared to the prior year.
This is directly due to reduction of operational expenses and improved gross
margins.
Net
income was $294,024
for the six months ended December 31, 2004 compared to net loss of
$1,219,193 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. This is an increase of
124% compared to the prior year. The add-back for the 49.9% minority interest in
NetSol Connect owned by another party was $14,259compared to $93,338. During the
current six months, the Company also recognized an expense of $231,916 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 $189,641 from the
settlement of a debt. Net income per share, was $0.03, basic and $0.02
diluted,for the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared with a loss per
share of $0.20 for the corresponding period last year.
The net
EBITDA income was $917,165 compared to loss of $610,496 after amortization and
depreciation charges of $623,141 and $608,697 respectively. Although
the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it
for benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their
decision-making process.
Going
Concern Qualification
Our
independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on
the June 30, 2004 consolidated financial statements discussing issues which
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a "going concern." The
going concern qualification is attributable to our historical operating losses,
and the amount of capital which we project our needs to satisfy existing
liabilities and achieve profitable operations. In positive steps, we have closed
down our loss generating businesses, and continue to evaluate and implement cost
cutting measures at every entity level. For the year ended June 30, 2004, we
continued to experience a negative cash flow from consolidated operations, and
projects that it will need certain additional capital to enable it to continue
operations at its current level beyond the near term. We believe that certain of
this needed capital will result from the successful collection of our accounts
receivable balances as projects are completed during the coming fiscal year. We
believe we can raise additional funds though private placements of its common
stock. Effective February 8, 2005, our auditors informed us that they would no
longer include a going concern explanatory paragraph in our financials. This
decision was based on the improved financials of the Company during the first
two quarters of the 2004-2005 fiscal years.
Liquidity
And Capital Resources
We were
successful in improving our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June
30, 2004. In addition, $957,892 was injected by the exercise of options by
several employees in 2004.
The
Company's cash position was $488,110 at December 31, 2004 compared to $557,206
at December 31, 2003. In addition the Company had $550,000 in certificates of
deposit. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was
$998,110 as of December 31, 2004.
Net cash
used for operating activities amounted to $1,464,697 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004, as compared to $1,920,238 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 $763,065 in its accounts payable and accrued
expenses.
Net cash
used by investing activities amounted to $550,877 for the six months ended
December 31, 2004, as compared to $62,696 for the comparable period last fiscal
year. The difference lies primarily in the purchase of property and equipment
during the current fiscal year. The Company had net purchases of property and
equipment of $380,598 compared to net sales of $14,380 for the comparable period
last fiscal year. During the current fiscal year, an additional $287,797 was
infused into the Company’s minority interest in the Company’s subsidiary NetSol
Connect.
Net cash
provided by financing activities amounted to $1,573,593 and $2,339,910 for the
six months ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively. The current fiscal
period included the cash inflow of $1,512,000 compared to $1,102,049 from
issuance of equity and $343,900 compared to $814,350 from the exercising of
stock options and warrants. In the current fiscal period, the Company had net
payments on loans and capital leases of $230,603 as compared to net proceeds of
$423,511 in the comparable period last year.
The
management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and
future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In
addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of investor warrants and
employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. 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 new capital of up to $500,000 in a strategic joint-venture of
NetSol-TiG. This partnership serves to outsource TiG’s software
development business to our offshore-based development facility.
|
· |
New
capital requirement for NetSol Akhter, the telecom division in an amount
up to $2.0 million as required by the agreement with
Akhter. |
· |
Loan
payments of $750,000 due by February 2006. These loans was taken to pay
for the purchase of CQ Systems. |
· |
Working
capital of $1.0 million for debts payments, new business development
activities and infrastructure
enhancements. |
While
there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising
sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on
terms acceptable to the Company.
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
Dividends
and Redemption
It has
been our policy to invest earnings in the growth of NetSol rather than
distribute earnings as dividends. This policy, under which dividends have not
been paid since our inception and is expected to continue, but is subject to
regular review by the Board of Directors.

$150,000) to install fiber optic lines and improve the bandwidth for the
facility. NetSol has relocated its entire staff of over 250 employees into this
new facility.

uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
NetSol
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries
Calabasas,
California
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of NetSol Technologies, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30,
2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the
financial statements of Network Technologies (PVT) Limited, NetSol (PVT) Limited
and NetSol Connect (PVT) Limited, whose statements reflect combined total assets
of approximately $7,173,282 as of June 30, 2004 and combined total net revenues
of $4,452,435 and $2,766,174 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have
been furnished to us, and in our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for Network Technologies (PVT) Limited for the years ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit report and the report of the other
auditors provide a reasonable bassi for our opinion.
In our
opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and the results of its consolidated operations
and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial
statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, has negative cash flows from
operations, and has a net working capital deficit. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.
As discussed in note 16, the financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 2004 have been restated.

NOTE
1 - BUSINESS AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
NetSol
Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"), formerly known as NetSol
International, Inc. and Mirage Holdings, Inc., was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Nevada on March 18, 1997. During November of 1998,
Mirage Collections, Inc., a wholly owned and non-operating subsidiary, was
dissolved.
During
April 1999, February 2000 and March 2000, the Company formed NetSol USA, Inc.,
NetSol eR, Inc. and NetSol (PVT), Limited, respectively, as wholly owned
subsidiaries.
Business
Combinations Accounted for Under the Purchase Method:
Network
Solutions PVT, Ltd. and NetSol UK, Limited
On
September 15, 1998 and April 17, 1999, the Company purchased from related
parties, 51% and 49%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of Network
Solutions PVT, Ltd., a Pakistani Company, and 43% and 57% of the outstanding
common stock of NetSol UK, Limited, a United Kingdom Company, for the issuance
of 938,000 restricted common shares of the Company and cash payments of
$775,000, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.9 million. These
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the date of
acquisition, which approximated $300,000. Included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements are other assets acquired at fair m arket
value consisting of product licenses, product renewals, product enhancements,
copyrights, trademarks, trade names and customer lists. At the date of
acquisition, the management of the Company allocated approximately $6.3 million
to these assets, based on independent valuation reports prepared for the
Company. The excess of the purchase prices over the estimated fair values of the
net assets acquired, was recorded as goodwill, and was being amortized by using
the straight-line method from the date of each purchase. Effective April 1,
2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all its
acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly,
accelerated the amortization of these intangibles. During June 2001, the
management decided to close its operations in the United Kingdom, and
accordingly, the Company recognized a loss from impairment of various intangible
assets related to NetSol UK, as recoverability of these assets (measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset) seemed highly unlikely. On March 18, 2002, the
final Winding-up Order was made relating to the liquidation of for NetSol UK on
the petition of a creditor in respect of services supplied presented to the
Court.
Mindsources,
Inc.

restricted common shares of the Company for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1,260,000. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting under APB Opinion No. 16, and accordingly, the purchase
price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based upon
their estimated fair values as determined by management on the date of
acquisition, which approximated $900,000. The management of the Company
allocated the entire purchase price to customer lists acquired, and is being
amortized by using the straight-line method from the date of acquisition. The
excess of the purchase prices over the estimated fair values of the net assets
acquired, approximately $360,000, was recorded as goodwill and is being
amortized using the straight-line method from the date of purchase. Effective
April 1, 2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all
its acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly,
accelerated the amortization of these intangibles.

Network
Solutions Group Limited and Subsidiaries
On August
18, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Network
Solutions Group Limited and Subsidiaries, a United Kingdom Company, through the
issuance of 31,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted common shares of the Company
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $940,000. This acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under APB Opinion No. 16,
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and

amortized by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life from
the date of acquisition. Effective April 1, 2001, the management determined that
the remaining useful life of all its acquired intangible assets to be
approximately five years, and accordingly, accelerated the amortization of these
intangibles. During June 2001, the management decided to close its operations in
the United Kingdom, and accordingly, the Company recognized a loss from
impairment of various intangible assets related to these entities, as
recoverability of these assets (measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset)
seemed highly unlikely.

Corporation
During
March 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
Intereve Corporation for an aggregate purchase price of $245,000. This
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under APB

$30,000 of the purchase price to customer lists & $23,688 to property and
equipment. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
the net assets acquired of $203,312, was recorded as goodwill.
Pearl
Treasury System Ltd
On
October 14, 2003, the Company executed an agreement to acquire the Pearl
Treasury System Ltd, a United Kingdom company ("Pearl"). This acquisition
required the Company to issue up to 60,000 shares of common stock to the

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use
of Estimates:
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Effective
April 1, 2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all
its acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly,
accelerated the amortization of these intangibles. This change in estimate
increased the depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $700,000
for the year ended June 30, 2002 and $400,000 during the three months ended June
30, 2001. Due to impairment losses recognized to intangibles, the remaining net
intangible balance of approximately $6,860,000 (including goodwill of
$1,950,000) at the date of change in estimation in 2001 has been amortized over
the remaining life of 57 months. The Company evaluates, on on-going basis, the
accounting effect arising from the recently issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangibles" which becomes effec tive to the Company’s financial
statements beginning July 1, 2002.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents:
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which
are not securing any corporate obligations.
Concentration
The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.
Accounts
Receivable:
The
Company’s customer base consists of a geographically dispersed customer base.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts
receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and
analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to
evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a
specific identification basis.
Revenues
in excess of billings:
“Revenues
in excess of billings” represent the total of the project to be billed to the
customer over the life of the project. As each phase is completed and billed to
the customer, the corresponding percentage of completion amount is transferred
from this account to “Accounts Receivable.”
Property
and Equipment:
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are
capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of,
the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is
computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
ranging from three to seven years.
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The
Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and
payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer
software. These costs are included with "Computer equipment and software." Costs
incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are
charged to general and administrative expense.
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 is being 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 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.
Going
Concern:
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2004, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of $30,917,465 and a working capital deficit of
approximately $10,400. Without realization of additional capital, it would be
unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. This factor raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Management
recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to
continue operations. In the current year, the Company realized a significant
increase in net revenues of nearly 53%. Management is taking steps to continue
comparable revenue increases in the next fiscal year. Management also continuing
to pursue cost cutting measures at every entity level. Additionally,
management’s plans also include the sale of additional equity securities and
debt financing from related parties and outside third parties. However, of
course, no assurance can be guaranteed that the Company will be successful in
raising additional capital or continue the current growth trend in net revenues.
Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises
additional equity, that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash
flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected
significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not
be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease
operations.
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement
of Cash Flows:
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement
of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based
upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and
liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree
with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue
Recognition:
The
Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange
Commissions ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") and The American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2,
"Software Revenue Recognition," as amended as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9.
The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
License
Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts when a
non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, the software
product has been delivered, no uncertainties exist surrounding product
acceptance, fees from the agreement are fixed and determinable and collection is
probable. Any revenues from software arrangements with multiple elements are
allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values
using specific objective evidence as defined in the SOPs. If no such objective
evidence exists, revenues from the arrangements are not recognized until the
entire arrangement is completed and accepted by the customer. Once the amount of
the revenue for each element is determined, the Company recognizes revenues as
each element is completed and accepted by the customer. For arrangements that
require significant production, modification or customization of software, the
entire arrangement is accounted for by the percentage of completion method, in
conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 45 and SOP
81-1.
Services
Revenue. Revenue
from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for
time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is
recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is
recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most
instances is one year.
Fair
Value:
Unless
otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities,
which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading
purposes, approximate carrying values of such amounts.
Advertising
Costs:
The
Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the
years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $253,701 and $76,136,
respectively.
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.
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per
share is the same in these financial statements since the effect of dilutive
securities is anti-dilutive.
Reverse
stock split:
On August
18, 2003, the Company affected a 1 for 5 reverse stock-split for all the issued
and outstanding shares of common stock. All historical share and per share
amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated
to reflect the 5:1 reverse stock split.
Other
Comprehensive Income & Foreign Currency Translation:
SFAS 130
requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available for sale
securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension liability,
which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders’ equity, to be
included in other comprehensive income. The accounts of NetSol UK, Limited use
British Pounds, NetSol Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., NetSol (Pvt), Ltd., and NetSol
Connect Pvt, Ltd. use Pakistan Rupees, NetSol Abraxas Australia Pty, Ltd. uses
the Australian dollar as the functional currencies. NetSol Technologies, Inc.,
and NetSol Altvia, Inc., uses U.S. dollars as the functional currencies. Assets
and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date,
and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the
period. During the year ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, comprehensive income
included net translation loss of $299,507 and $380,978, respectively. Other
comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
in the stockholders’ equity section amounted to $150,210 as of June 30,
2004.
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which applies the
fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In
accordance with this standard, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation
in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees.
In March
2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation
No. 44 (Interpretation 44), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation." Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the recognition of
compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation arrangements that are
accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Interpretation 44 became effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that
were effective retroactively to December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000.
Interpretation 44 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
Income
Taxes:
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 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.
As of
June 30, 2004, the Company had net federal and state operating loss carry
forwards expiring in various years through 2024. During the year ended June 30,
2004, the valuation allowance increased by $1,186,800; primarily due to the net
operating loss carry forward. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net
operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the opinion of
management, utilization is not reasonably assured.

Derivative
Instruments:
In June
1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as amended by
SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS
No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides
criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow
and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards for
reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. After
adoption, the Company is required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in
the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to
be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The
Company has complied with the requirements of SFAS 133, the effect of which was
not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the
Company does not participates in such activities.

Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of:
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations
for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates
the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with
SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the
long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in
a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of
disposal.
For
goodwill not identifiable with an impaired asset, the Company establishes
benchmarks at the lowest level (entity level) as its method of assessing
impairment. In measuring impairment, unidentifiable goodwill is considered
impaired if the fair value at the lowest level is less than its carrying amount.
The fair value of unidentifiable goodwill is determined by subtracting the fair
value of the recognized net assets at the lowest level (excluding goodwill) from
the value at the lowest level. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the
difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the fair value of
goodwill. In the event that impairment is recognized, appropriate disclosures
are made.
Goodwill
of a reporting unit is reviewed for impairment if event or changes in
circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of its goodwill or intangible
assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of reporting unit goodwill is valuated
based on a comparison of the reporting unit's carrying value to the implied fair
value of the reporting unit. Conditions that indicate that impairment of
goodwill includes a sustained decrease in the market value of the reporting
unit or an adverse change in the business climate.
As of
June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company evaluated the valuation of goodwill
based upon the performance and market value of NetSol USA and NetSol UK,
respectively. The Company determined the goodwill is impaired and recorded the
impairment of $203,312 and $393,388 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reporting
segments:
Statement
of financial accounting standards No. 131, Disclosures about segments of an
enterprise and related information (SFAS No. 131), which superceded statement of
financial accounting standards No. 14, Financial reporting for segments of a
business enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim
financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its
resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based upon
geographic locations of its subsidiaries (Note 13).
New
Accounting Pronouncements:
In March
2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure." This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
Company does not expect to adopt SFAS No. 123. The proforma information
regarding net loss and loss per share, pursuant to the requirements of FASB 123
for the year end June 30, 2004 has been presented in Note 9.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In May
2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, ("SFAS No. 150"). SFAS No.
150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measurers in its
statement of financial position certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with SFAS No. 150,
financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer are required to be
classified as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 shall be effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise shall be
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 does not have a material effect on the earnings
or financial position of the Company.
In
December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revised
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R).
FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest
entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of
consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves
comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those
activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does
not hold any variable interest entities
For
comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current
year.

exercise price of $5.00 per share which expire six months from the conversion
date. The convertible debenture was issued in reliance on an exemption available
from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Litigation
Herbert
Smith, a former attorney representing the Company, commenced a collection
proceeding against the Company in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench
Division, on July 31, 2002, claiming the Company owed a sum certain to it. The
Company had signed an engagement letter dated October 18, 2000. Herbert Smith
("HS") was hired to proceed against Surrey Design Partnership Ltd. HS claimed
the Company owed 171,733 pounds sterling or approximately $248,871 USD. This sum
includes interest in the amount of 8% per annum and has been recorded as a note
payable on the accompanying consolidated financial statements (see note 8). On
November 28, 2002, a Consent Order was filed with the Court agreeing to a
payment plan, whereby the Company is to pay $10,000 USD upon signing of the
agreement, $4,000 USD a month for one year and $6,000 USD, per month thereafter
until the debt is paid. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 the
Company paid $73,000 and $26,000, respectively on this note.
On May
23, 2002, Allied Interstate Inc. filed a lawsuit for breach of contract, open
book account, account stated, and reasonable value against the Company. Allied
was assigned the claim from SuperNet AG, a subsidiary of NetSol which was
acquired from Florian Zgunea and Leonard Metcsh in Frankfurt Germany in May
2000. After almost two years, SuperNet failed to produce any revenues and the
Company’s board of directors agreed with the management to sell back SuperNet to
Florian and Leonard and divest itself from the ISP business in Germany. The
price of $120,000 was agreed upon and $40,000 was wired to Florian and Leo.
Subsequently, the proxy battle with Shareholders Group LLC ensued whereby a
Receiver was in place until August 2001. Once the Company’s management was
placed back in control, discussion with Florian and Leo commenced. Again, the
Company agreed to make four payments of $80,000 and a promise to cooperate by
providing all the books and records of SuperNet to the Company. In August 2001,
the Company sent another payment of $20,000 as agreed upon. However, soon
thereafter, the Company received an electronic correspondence from Florian that
if the Company wanted all the books and records full payment was to be made. The
Company did not make full payment and obtained books and records from alternate
sources. Allied’s position is that the Company breached its agreement with
Florian and Leo, the Company’s position is that because they refused to provided
access to the books and records, they breached a covenant of the Agreement. The
parties agreed on a settlement and on May 5, 2003, Florian and Leo were issued
160,000 and 40,000, respectively, shares of the Company’s restricted Rule 144
stock, with a total value of $50,000 in settlement of this claim.
On
January 29, 2002, the Company reached a settlement with Adrian Cowler and The
Surrey Design Partnership Limited, the former owners of Network Solutions Group
Limited ("NSGL"). The settlement had the following terms; I) NetSol to pay
50,000 pounds sterling; II) 3,000 pounds sterling to be paid for 24 months
beginning 31, March 2002; III) 4,000 pounds sterling to be paid for 24 months
beginning March 31, 2004; IV) NetSol to release 155,000 shares in escrow; V)
650,000 144 shares to be issued to Surrey Design. NetSol made some of the
payments and issued all the shares. On June 11, 2002, Plaintiff filed an
enforcement of judgment in California Superior Court of Los Angeles to enforce
the judgment. A request for Entry of Default was filed on July 30, 2002. On
September 10, 2002 NetSol filed its Opposition to Plaintiff’s request for Entry
of Judgment and on September 16, 2002, Plaintiff filed its Motion to Strike
NetSol’s Opposition. On September 25, 2002, the Company and Surrey Design
entered into an Agreement to Stay Enforcement of Judgment. The terms of the
Agreement included (i) NetSol to pay 25,000 pounds sterling upon execution of
this Agreement; (ii) By February 20, 2003, NetSol to pay an addition 25,000
pounds sterling; (iii) From October 31, 2002 to February 28, 2003, NetSol to pay
3,000 pounds sterling; and (iv) from March 31, 2003 for a period of 24 months,
NetSol to pay 4,000 pounds sterling. The settlement amount has been recorded in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a note payable (see Note
8). During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid $86,857 and

collect the amount sought, the complaint requested that NetSol repay the
principal sum of the Note of $100,000 and interest at the rate of 9% per annum
based on the maturity date of December 10, 2000. This matter has been settled
pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement whereby NetSol agreed to issue

NOTE
15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August
18, 2004, two holders of the convertible debenture gave the Company notice they
were converting their notes into the Company’s common stock. A total of $100,000
in notes were converted into 53,764 shares of the Company’s common stock and
26,882 warrants were issued.
NOTE
16 - RESTATEMENT
Subsequent
to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the year ended June
30, 2004, the Company determined that certain transactions and presentation in
the financial statements had not been accounted for properly in the Company's
financial statements. Specifically, the amount of impairment of goodwill was
over-recorded and the expense due to issuance of warrants in connection with the
PIPE financing was not adjusted against the equity.
The
Company has restated its financial statements for these adjustments as of June
30, 2004.

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 annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 2004. The Company follows the same accounting
policies in preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the
interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies (PVT), Ltd. (“PK
Tech”), NetSol (PVT), Limited (“PK Private”), NetSol CONNECT (PVT), Ltd. (now,
NetSol Akhter Pvt. Ltd.) (“Connect”), NetSol Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd., NetSol
USA and NetSol Technologies UK, Ltd. All material inter-company accounts have
been eliminated in consolidation.
For
comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current
year.
NOTE
2 - USE OF ESTIMATES:
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE
3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
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 Nonmonetary
Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the
exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it
with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary 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.

(“Connect”), an Internet service provider (“ISP”), in Pakistan through the
issuance of additional Connect shares. As part of this Agreement, Connect

During
the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the funds were received by Connect and a
minority interest of $200,000 was recorded for Akhter’s portion of the
subsidiary. During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, Akhter paid an
additional $10,000 to the Company for this purchase. Per the agreement, it was
envisaged that Connect would require a maximum $500,000 for expansion of its
business from each partner. Akhter was to meet the initial financial
requirements of the Connect until November 1, 2003. As of December 31, 2004,
both NetSol and Akhter had injected the majority of their committed cash to meet
the expansion requirement of the company. As of December 31, 2004, a total of
$751,356 had been transferred to Connect.
For the
six months ended December 31, 2004, the subsidiary had net losses of $28,575, of
which $14,259 was recorded against the minority interest. The balance of the
minority interest at December 31, 2004 was $99,752.
NOTE
13 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On March
24, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with several investors to
acquire Series A Convertible Debentures (the “Bridge Loan”) whereby a total of
$1,200,000 in debentures were procured through Maxim Group, LLC. The Company
received a net of $1,049,946 after placement expenses. In addition, the
beneficial conversion feature of the debenture was valued at $300,000. The
Company has recorded this as a contra-account against the loan balance and is
amortizing the beneficial conversion feature over the life of the loan. During
the six months ended December 31, 2004, the Company amortized $225,000. The
unamortized balance at December 31, 2004 was $37,500
During
the six months ended December 31, 2004, nineteen of the convertible debenture
holders elected to convert their notes into common stock. The total of the notes
converted was $1,050,000 and the Company issued 564,519 shares of its common
stock to the note holders. The net balance at December 31, 2004, is
$112,500.
Under the
terms of the Bridge Loan agreements, and supplements thereto, the debentures
bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis in
common stock or cash at the election of the Company. The maturity date is 24
months from the date of signing, or March 26, 2006. The debentures are to be
converted at the rate of $1.86 and are automatically convertible as of August 6,
2004. The Company recorded interest expense on the debentures in the amount of
$79,252.
NOTE
14 - GAIN ON SETTLEMENT OF DEBT
In
September 2004, the Company transferred 24,004 of its treasury shares valued at
$45,965 to Brobeck Phleger & Harrison, Llp, in exchange of debt, as part of
a settlement agreement . The Company recorded a gain of $8,285 on the
settlement.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2004, the Company evaluated the liabilities of
its discontinued operations and determined that $41,989 was no longer payable.
The Company recorded a gain of $41,989 as a result of the write-off of these
liabilities from its financial statements.
In
October 2004, the Company reached an agreement with a vendor to settle the
amounts owing. The vendor agreed to accept $29,642 as payment in full. As a
result, the Company recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of
$11,029.
In
December 2004, the Company reached an agreement with Cowler to pay the balance
owing on the loan in one lump-sum payment (see Note 7). Cowler agreed to accept
£52,000 or $103,371 as payment in full. As a result, the Company recorded a gain
on forgiveness of debt of $21,148.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2004, a former officer of Abraxas, the Company’s
Australian subsidiary, agreed to forgive amounts accrued to him for long-term
service leave prior to the Company’s acquisition in 1999. The amounts accrued
were during the period of 1984 to 1999. As a result, the Company recorded a gain
on forgiveness of debt of $107,190.
NOTE
15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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 is projected to
close February 22, 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 the Company blend and expands the
product offering by leveraging the Company's offshore technology infrastructure
to contain costs and improve margins.
According
to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of
the issued and outstanding shares of CQ from CQ’s current shareholders, whose
identity is set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (the “CQ Shareholders”) at
the completion date in exchange for a purchase price consisting of: a) 50.1% of
CQ’s total gross revenue for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2005 after
an adjustment for any extraordinary revenue, i.e. non-trading revenue (“LTM
Revenue”) multiplied by 1.3 payable: (i) 50% in shares of restricted common
stock of the Company at a per share cost basis of $2.313 and as adjusted by the
exchange rate of U.S. Dollar to British Pound (at the spot rate for the purchase
of sterling with U.S. dollars certified by NatWest Bank plc as prevailing at or
about 11:00 a.m.) on January 19, 2005 and, (ii) 50% in cash; and b) 49.9% of
CQ’s LTM Revenue for the period ending March 31, 2006 multiplied by 1.3 payable,
at the Company’s discretion: (i) wholly in cash; or (ii) on the same basis and
on the same terms as the initial payment provided, however that the cost basis
of the Company’s common stock shall be based on the 20 day volume weighted
average of the Company’s shares of common stock as traded on NASDAQ 20 days
prior to March 31, 2005 and, provided that under no circumstances shall the
total number of shares of common stock issued to the CQ Shareholders exceed 19%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, less treasury shares, of
the Company at January 19, 2005.
The
estimated purchase price is £3,576,335 or $6,677,051, of which one-half is due
at closing payable in cash and stock and the other half is due in one-year. On
the closing date, $1.7 million was paid and 681,965 shares were issued to the
shareholders of CQ. The purchase price has been allocated as

NOTE
16- RESTATEMENT
Subsequent
to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the six months ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company determined that certain transactions and
presentation in the financial statements had not been accounted for properly in
the Company's financial statements. Specifically, the amount of impairment of
goodwill was over-recorded and classified as amortization expense.
The
Company has restated its financial statements for these adjustments as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003.
The
effect of the correction of the error is as follows:

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for
each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that
period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors are
required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them
consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless
it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in
business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of
the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for
safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
AUDITORS
The auditors, CMB Partnership, will be proposed for re-appointment in
accordance with Section 385 of the Companies Act 1985.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CQ SYSTEMS LIMITED
(EXEMPT FROM REQUIREMENT TO PREPARE GROUP ACCOUNTS)
"We have audited the financial statements of CQ Systems Limited for the year
ended 31 March 2004 on pages five to eleven. These financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller
Entities (effective June 2002), under the historical cost convention and the
accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance
with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to
state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work,
for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS
As described on page two the company's directors are responsible for the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with
relevant legal and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing
Standards.
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the Report of the Directors is
not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper
accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations
we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding
directors' remuneration and transactions with the company is not disclosed.
We read the Report of the Directors and consider the implications for our report
if we become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
BASIS OF AUDIT OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test
basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and
judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements,
and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's
circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
OPINION
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2004 and of its profit for the year then
ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CQ SYSTEMS LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CQ Systems, as of 31 March
2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income and retained earnings,
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We draw
attention to the note on page 1 in that the original accounts were prepared in
accordance with United Kingdom accounting and auditing standards. We have been
requested to report on the financial statements prepared under US GAAP. The
scope of our work for the purpose in US GAAP financial statements did not
include examining or dealing with events after the date of the Audit Report on
the United Kingdom GAAP accounts.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CQ Systems Limited, as of 31
March 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

CQ SYSTEMS LIMITED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (US GAAP) and are stated in United Kingdom
sterling.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is
required 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 consolidated balance sheet
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
a. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the group and its subsidiary. The group's subsidiary
is Custom Quest Limited, a dormant company that has not traded since
31 May 2001 in which the group has a 100% direct holding in the
voting rights. The net assets of the subsidiary company since
cessation of trade is (pound)nil.
b. TURNOVER
Licence revenue is recognised where orders have been signed and the
product is delivered. In contracts with multiple elements revenues
are allocated to each element based on the fair value on completion,
delivery and acceptance by the customer. For other services related
activity, revenue is recognised on a percentage of completion basis.
c. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write
off each asset over its useful life;
Computer software 50% straight line
Office furniture and fittings 15% straight line
Computer equipment 33.33% straight line
Automobiles 25% straight line
The group evaluates tangible fixed assets for impairment losses at
least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or is
greater than its fair value.
d. DEFERRED TAX
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that
have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. These
reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
at the balance sheet date and their respective tax bases.

CQ SYSTEMS LIMITED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
E. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year
in which it is incurred. Development costs on computer software that
is to be sold relates to bespoke work undertaken for particular
customers as and when requested. Under these circumstances, these
costs are written off as incurred rather than capitalised and
amortised, as they relate solely to the individual customers
specifications rather than being available for general release to
customers.
f. ADVERTISING
The company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
G. HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the
balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful estimated lives.
The interest element of these obligations are charged to the
statement of income and retained earnings over the lease term. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as liability.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of
income and retained earnings on a straight line basis.
H. PENSIONS
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.
Contributions payable for the year are charged in the statement of
income and retained earnings.
I. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand.
2. SECURED CREDITORS
The amounts owed under hire purchase contracts totalling (pound)61,698
(2003 - (pound)37,428) are secURed on the assets acquired. The bank also
holds securities over any bank borrowings ((pound)nil at the balance SHeet
date.)
3. CORPORATION AND DEFERRED TAXES
Provision is made for United Kingdom corporation tax payable on the
group's taxable net income. This is provided for at the rate of tax
prevailing at that time. The current standard corporation tax rate in the
United Kingdom is 30%. Deferred tax is provided using the standard rate.
4. COMMITMENTS
The group is committed to making operating lease payments of (pound)82,500
in the forthcoming year.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CQ SYSTEMS LIMITED
"We have audited the financial statements of CQ Systems Limited for the year
ended 31 March 2003 on pages four to eleven. These financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller
Entities (effective June 2002), under the historical cost convention and the
accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance
with Section 235 of the Companies Act 1985. Our audit work has been undertaken
so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to
state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work,
for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
As described on page two the company's directors are responsible for the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with
relevant legal and regulatory requirements and United Kingdom Auditing
Standards.
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the Report of the Directors is
not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper
accounting records, if we have not received all the information and explanations
we require for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding
directors' remuneration and transactions with the company is not disclosed.
We read the Report of the Directors and consider the implications for our report
if we become aware of any apparent misstatements within it.
Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom Auditing Standards
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test
basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and
judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements,
and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the company's
circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2003 and of its profit for the year then
ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
1985".

Independent Auditors' Report
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CQ Systems Limited, as of 31
March 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of income and retained earnings,
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We draw
attention to the note on page 1 in that the original accounts were prepared in
accordance with United Kingdom accounting and auditing standards. We have been
requested to report on the financial statements prepared under US GAAP. The
scope of our work for the purpose in US GAAP financial statements did not
include examining or dealing with events after the date of the Audit Report on
the United Kingdom GAAP accounts.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of CQ Systems Limited, as of 31
March 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (US GAAP) and are stated in United Kingdom sterling.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required
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 consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
a. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the group and its subsidiary. The group's subsidiary
is Custom Quest Limited, a dormant company that has not traded since
31 May 2001 in which the group has a 100% direct holding in the
voting rights. The net assets of the subsidiary company since
cessation of trade is (pound)nil.
b. Turnover
Licence revenue is recognised where orders have been signed and the
product is delivered. In contracts with multiple elements revenues
are allocated to each element based on the fair value on completion,
delivery and acceptance by the customer. For other services related
activity, revenue is recognised on a percentage of completion basis.
c. Tangible Fixed Assets
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write
off each asset over its useful life;
Computer software 50% straight line
Office furniture and fittings 15% straight line
Computer equipment 33.33% straight line
Automobiles 25% straight line
The group evaluates tangible fixed assets for impairment losses at
least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or is
greater than its fair value.
d. Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that
have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. These
reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
at the balance sheet date and their respective tax bases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
e. Research and Development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year
in which it is incurred. Development costs on computer software that
is to be sold relates to bespoke work undertaken for particular
customers as and when requested. Under these circumstances, these
costs are written off as incurred rather than capitalised and
amortised, as they relate solely to the individual customers
specifications rather than being available for general release to
customers.
f. Advertising
The company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
g. Hire Purchase and Leasing Commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the
balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful estimated lives.
The interest element of these obligations are charged to the
statement of income and retained earnings over the lease term. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as liability.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of
income and retained earnings on a straight line basis.
h. Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.
Contributions payable for the year are charged in the statement of
income and retained earnings.
i. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand.
2. SECURED CREDITORS
The amounts owed under hire purchase contracts totalling (pound)37,428
(2002 - (pound)78,636) are secured on the assets acquired. The bank also
holds securities over any bank borrowings ((pound)nil at the balance sheet
date.)
3. CORPORATION AND DEFERRED TAXES
Provision is made for United Kingdom corporation tax payable on the
group's taxable net income. This is provided for at the rate of tax
prevailing at that time. The current standard corporation tax rate in the
United Kingdom is 30%. Deferred tax is provided using the standard rate.
4. COMMITMENTS
The group is committed to making operating lease payments of (pound)82,500
in the forthcoming year.
INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
We are
required by our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation to indemnify, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, each person that we are permitted to indemnify.
Our Bylaws it to indemnify such parties to the fullest extent permitted by
Nevada law.
Nevada
corporation law permits us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees, or
agents against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred in relation to any action,
suit, or proceeding brought by third parties because they are or were directors,
officers, employees, or agents of the corporation. In order to be eligible for
such indemnification, however, our directors, officers, employees, or agents
must have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, our best interests. In addition, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, the officer, director, employee, or agent must have had no
reason to believe that the conduct in question was unlawful.
In
derivative actions, we may only indemnify our officers, directors, employees,
and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of a suit, and only if they acted in good faith and in
a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best
interests. Indemnification is not permitted in the event that the director,
officer, employee, or agent is actually adjudged liable to the corporation
unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action was brought
so determines.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Act”) may be permitted to our controlling directors, officers, or persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
Expenses
of Issuance and Distribution
The
following is an estimate of the expenses that we expect to incur in connection
with this registration. We will pay all of these expenses, and the selling
stockholders will not pay any of them.

Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file,
during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) To include
any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933.
(ii) To reflect in
the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a
fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and
notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include
any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2) For purposes
of determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
offering.
(3) To file a
post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that
remains unsold at the end of the offering.

to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that
