Our Services

Information technology services are valuable only if they fulfill the business strategy and project objectives set forth by the customer. NetSol’s expert consultants have the technical knowledge and business experience to ensure the optimization of the development process in alignment with basic business principles.

Business Intelligence (BI) solution providers must have both the capability to service BI customers using its own resources but also service the customers of international affiliates in the APAC region. Typical BI projects run into several years of phased implementation and rely on expensive international resources with a very restricted and limited accessibility. As such, management believes, that NetSol’s competitors compromise on quality by turning BI projects into IT projects, which is a recipe for failure. Our strategy is simple; we identify the business pains of our potential customer and involve our industry domain experts directly with business managers at the client side. This results in ownership of the project with the business group rather than the IT group which is involved in the overall initiative only from a support and facilitation standpoint.

NetSol’s service capability has expanded to Basel II compliance. The Basel II Accord is a mandate by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) requiring banks around the world to introduce processes and systems in their organization that will more effectively control and manage their enterprise wide risk. Basel II has introduced “risk differentiation” by allowing banks to hold capital reserves directly proportional to the amount of credit risk they are taking. In addition, the accord has introduced a capital charge for operational risk. NetSol won a Basel II Consultancy Contract with a leading Bank in Pakistan, the contract covers advisory services concerning conformity to the Basel II Capital Accord Regulatory Framework development by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

An ever growing awareness of highly publicized IT Security problems, coupled with greater demands by international business partners, has led the movement of companies world-wide towards compliance with internationally recognized Information Security Systems standards. Information Systems Security or Information Assurance applies to all systems in all departments of an organization whether on a computer disk, paper or in the heads of employees. Information Security services is provided by NetSol’s INFOSEC Unit. This unit provides services to secure all corporate information and its supporting processes, systems and networks.

NetSol has established partnerships with other global information security consulting companies, including US based Business Automation Consultants, Australia based IT Butler, and Pakistan based NIMIS.

LeaseSoft, a robust suite of four software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and finance cycle starting from quotation origination through end of contract. The Company’s over eight years of effort resulted in over 60 modules grouped in four comprehensive applications.

Each application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
 
The constituent software applications are:
 
· Credit Application Processing System (CAP). 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, and contract management systems and scores the applications against defined scorecards. This automated workflow permits the credit team members to make 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 reduces the probability of a wrong decision thus, again, providing a concrete business value through minimizing the bad debt portfolio. LeaseSoft.CAP is a database independent online system developed in Microsoft's .Net framework. Toyota Leasing Thailand and BMW Financial Services China are the first two clients of LeaseSoft.CAP. It can be run from any PC with normal specifications, which is a key benefit for clients.
 
· 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 provides interfaces with company banks and accounting systems. LeaseSoft.CMS effectively maintains details of all business partners that do business with the company including, but not limited to, customers, dealers, debtors, guarantors, insurance companies and banks. Developed with the input of a number of leasing consultants, this product represents a complete lease and finance product. NetSol’s LeaseSoft.CMS 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. A separate online add-on module, Dealer & Auditor Access System (DAS), allows dealers to view their outstanding limits and current asset-wise balances through an interface with the finance company. LeaseSoft.WFS consists of the following four modules: Credit Request Management Module (CRM); Loan Management Module (LMS); Stock Auditing Module (SAS); and Billing & Settlement Module (B&S).

· Fleet Management System (FMS). LeaseSoft.FMS is designed to efficiently handle all fleet management needs. FMS is easily integrated with LeaseSoft.CMS and WFS as well as with any third party contract management system to ensure a single comprehensive system. FMS’ key features include: a detailed tracking information on every driver and vehicle; customizable reports; periodic reporting on fleet related aspects; internet based access to information; integration with third party software; and, linkage to GPS for real time tracking. Although only recently added, NetSol has already signed an agreement for FMS with a major automotive company in the Asia Pacific region.
 
Implementation Process

The implementation process normally spans three to six months. NetSol derives its 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. In the requirements study/gaps analysis, the NetSol LeaseSoft team goes to the client site to study the client’s business and functional requirements and maps them against the existing functionality available in LeaseSoft. With the maturing of our products, free requirement studies tend to yield few, if any gaps. The development cycle that follows the gaps analysis takes place through our development facility in Lahore. The highly parameterized LeaseSoft solutions are configured to meet the clients’ requirements. This is followed by thorough testing, which takes place at our development facility, while some of these steps may also be carried out at the clients’ locations. Based on successful testing, the system is installed at the client’s site. When required, this involves migration of date from an older system to the LeaseSoft database. Successful installation is followed by user and administration training. Both functional and business users are involved. After training, user acceptance testing is conducted, where client’s nominated staff, along with NetSol consultants, tests the system against business requirements. Upon acceptance, the systems in then considered ready for normal business use. LeaseSoft is a mission critical software, and the entire business operations of our clients hinge on successful performance of the system. Hence in the early days after going live, NetSol consultants remain at the client site to assist the company in smooth operations. After this phase, the regular maintenance and support services phase for the implemented software begins. In addition to the daily rate paid by the customer for each consultant, the customer also pays for all the transportation related expenses, boarding of the consultants, and a living allowance. NetSol’s involvement in all of the above steps is priced to bring value to our customers and increase our profitability from our interactions.

Pricing and Revenue Streams

The company’s LeaseSoft revenue streams occur through the following three main areas: product licensing, implementation related services, and maintenance and support related services. License fees can vary generally between $500,000 up to $1,000,000 per license per module. There are various attributes which determine the level of complexity, a few of which are: number of contracts; size of the portfolio; business strategy of the company; number of business users; and, branch network of the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. However, revenue from sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percent of completion basis. Implementation related services, including gap analysis, user acceptance testing (UAT) and data migration (where required). Maintenance and support related services are then provided on a continued basis. Revenue from software services includes fixed price contracts and is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method using the output measure of “Unit of Work Completed.” 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 yearly basis.

Growth Prospects for LeaseSoft

As a marketing strategy NetSol is preparing a lighter version of LeaseSoft to target companies with simpler business models. LeaseSoft is highly modular. Hence various sets of functionalities can be used against the restricted requirements of the client. The first deployment of this lighter version is currently being carried out in Mauritius, for Mauritius Commercial Bank. NetSol has also provided the option of using its LeaseSoft application on monthly rental basis to those organizations which are small in size or have small turnover. This facility is initially provided to Australian Motor Finance (AMF). AMF is a sub-prime lender in Australia. NetSol has provided them LeaseSoft Proposal Management System and LeaseSoft Contract Management System.

An important component of the growth strategy for LeaseSoft is to extend its customer base to include newer geographic markets. The belief that it is a highly flexible solution for the global markets is borne out by this year’s major breakthrough of the product’s entry into the Middle East market with the signing of a contract with one of the largest leasing companies in the region. Al Amthal Leasing is the latest addition to our impressive customer list. The Company sees this as a first major step in developing a market for LeaseSoft in the Middle East. This will also help our product achieve a greater relevance to this market by incorporating features that correspond to the Islamic/Arab financial requirements.

In its existing markets, LeaseSoft is already establishing itself as a leading product catering to the business needs of major blue chip companies. Its current client base includes Mercedes Benz Financial Services (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, China and Taiwan), Yamaha Motors Finance Australia, Toyota Motors Finance China, Toyota Leasing Thailand, Finlease Commercial Bank of Mauritius, CNH Capital Australia, Fiat Automotive Finance China, Dongfeng Nissan Auto Finance China, BMW Financial Services in China and Al Amthal Leasing Saudi Arabia.

In addition to the confidence of its customers, the product has also won a major regional award, the Asia Pacific ICT Alliance Award for the best financial application for the year 2007. This prestigious award is testimony to the maturity and quality of LeaseSoft.

NetSol maintains a LeaseSoft specific product website www.leasesoft.biz. This product website is also available in the Chinese and Thai languages at http://www.leasesoft.biz/chinese and http://www.leasesoft.biz/thai, respectively.

Our Operations

NETSOL PK

Our off-shore development center, and indeed the center of the Company’s services and software operations, is headed by former President of NetSol and current Chief Executive Officer of NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol PK”) (the Company’s Pakistan subsidiary), Salim Ghauri. The Asian continent, Australia/New Zealand, and the Middle East, from the perspective of LeaseSoft marketing, are targeted by NetSol Technologies from its Lahore subsidiary, its offices in Australia, Thailand and Beijing, China. NetSol PK has continued to grow its service contracts within the local Pakistani public and defense sectors. An important aspect of these contracts is that not all of them focused solely on software development and engineering.

This year, NetSol PK has continued to provide both consultancy services to organizations so as to improve their quality of operations and services and, winning strategically important assignments with the E-Governance domains for organizations of national significance in Pakistan. These clients include private as well as public sector enterprises.

IT Consulting & Services

As part of the Company’s Global Business Services strategy, each subsidiary adheres to the BestShoring provides BestSolutions™ model. While NetSol PK is the center of the Company’s global services offerings, the services provided by NetSol PK further expound on that model and other services unique to NetSol PK. IT Consulting & Services in Pakistan has included a first entrant advantage into the e-government sector for both provincial and federal governments and armed forces automation projects. Over the past four years, NetSol PK has been actively involved in the e-government domain helping Federal & Provincial Governments of Pakistan and other public sector organizations. Major projects include: Electronic Credit Information Bureau; Office Automation of the National Assembly & Senate and Prime Minister’s Secretariat; and such turn-key solutions as the Automation of the Hajj wing, and, Automation of the Karachi Patent Office. The development of solutions for clients has resulted in the development of vertical offerings catering to various industries and accordingly, diversifying NetSol’s offerings. These verticals have been used successfully in Pakistan to provide services for the Motor Transport Management System, Land Record Management System, Legislature, Healthcare, computer based trainings/e-Learning, E Government and Defense.

Products

In addition to LeaseSoft, which has a global reach, NetSol PK has developed several products for use in Pakistan for the purpose of automating the country’s vital processes. While developed for this particular market, the products may be used in other countries or for other customers.

LRMIS

In an agricultural country like Pakistan, land is the primary source of revenue. Land records are currently maintained manually so there is no consistency, accuracy and timely availability of the required record. According to a joint report by National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), Pakistan and World Food Program (WFP), Pakistan, this existing land revenue management system is more than two hundred years old and is not fulfilling the changing demands of time and new local governance system of Devolution properly.

A well planned solution requires easy identification, access, smooth data entry and complete tracking of the entered transactions. With the growth and usage of "e" in contemporary business practices, new challenges have emerged in managing secure access to the authentic data and e-resources, which are scattered across a wide range of internal and external computing systems. This challenge needs quick address in today's competitive economic scenario wherein intellectual and knowledge capital directly translates into exponential growth for the country.

NetSol’s LRMIS is a thin, client web based solution and developed after thorough evaluations of existing manual system and client/user needs, detailed system analysis and process flow definition. It ensures that only authentic employees and individuals can access the application on the privileged areas assigned by the administrator over the internet/Intranet. NetSol has obtained the pilot project for LRMIS, a World Bank funded initiative. There is a major upside in Punjab with implementations in 34 districts. Moreover, opportunities exist in Sindh and Islamabad Capital Territory.

NetSol understands the power of information and complexity of land record system and the user/client needs. For this purpose, NetSol provides its LRMIS by combining technical, operational and domain expertise with proven approaches of analysis, plan, design and implementation to provide an effective solution using IT-enablement in a field where its need its hugely felt.

MTMIS

A few years ago, NetSol PK took the initiative to invest into the Motor Transport domain. Starting with a small implementation, today NetSol has multiple implementations in several parts of the country with ample opportunities available in the future. MTMIS is a customized application envisioned and developed wholly by NetSol as an end-to-end solution of citizens’ vehicles security and information management. Project implementations include the Provinces of Punjab, AJK and NWFP alongside Islamabad Capital Territory. Future opportunities exist in Baluchistan and Sindh for this solution. The system has provision for onsite access to the traffic police records via PDAs and smart cards, onsite verification of any vehicle’s environmental friendly status and road side authorization of driver licenses.

It is significant to note that while in developed countries the elements of the system lie in “islands of data” under the various Authorities and Geographical Domains and have been linked together to create the central data warehouse; the NetSol solution is the first concept and proven practical solution for the Emerging and Developing countries. It enables an approach, which seeks to introduce and implement the different elements or modules as an integrated and total solution, in which modules have been clearly designed to work independently but enmesh and provide the complete management and administration environment.

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM.

The global healthcare industry is growing at a fast rate and is one of the areas that have the most urgent need of automation. NetSol understands this need and has developed a strategic collaboration with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital as part of a long term commitment for IT development in the global Health Sector.

The capability to overlay, analyze, design and reengineer the core of the healthcare processes with a business process management (BPM) suite, encompassing the rules and responsibilities in a manner which facilitates change, new rules, process variations, and scale of deployment, best summarize our combined approach.

NetSol regularly works to fulfill its role as a Technology Partner of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) for a solution that will act as an automated, secure and integrated solution for any hospitals’ clinical, financial and management needs. First implementation is currently underway for a hospital for the armed forces. NetSol’s system includes a clinical module (including outpatient and inpatient management, physician and order management, pharmacy management, radiology, nuclear medicine, pathology and operation theater management); an administrative module; a financial module; and, a research module.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Literacy Program--NetSol has launched a “Literacy Program” to educate low paid illiterate employees of the organization. The main objective of this program is to enable these resources to acquire basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills. The first phase of the plan is nearing completion with astounding accomplishments; the people who could not even write a single word are now able to write complete letters within a span of 6 months. This initiative has been extremely successful and NetSol intends to further support this program.

Noble Cause Fund--A noble cause fund has been established to meet medical and education expenses of the children of the low paid employees. NetSol employees voluntarily contribute a fixed amount every month to the fund and the Company matches the employee subscriptions with an equivalent amount contribution. A portion of this fund is utilized to support social needs of certain institutions and individuals, outside NetSol.

Day Care Facility--NetSol’s human resources are its key assets and thus the company takes numerous steps to ensure provision of maximum comforts. Recently, a Child Day Care facility has been created in close proximity to work premises with all essential staff and equipment. Married female employees are offered opportunity to entrust complete care of their young ones to trained and experienced staff. Child day care allows female employees to pay unhindered focused attention to work requirements while their child remain safe and comfortable. Premises and environment are neat and clean with all basic needs fulfilled to ensure complete care of the children.

Preventative Health Care Program--In addition to the comprehensive out-patient and in-patient medical benefits, preventive health care has also been introduced. This phased program focuses on vaccination of our employees against Hepatitis – A/B, Tetanus, Typhoid and Flu, etc. This is a regular annual immunization program to keep employees healthy.

NetSol Corporate University--This year, NetSol undertook a new initiative by establishing NetSol Corporate University (“NCU”) for developing human resources at NetSol. A need was felt to further develop and retain the talent at hand through strategic learning interventions to respond to growing competition and challenges.

The mission of NCU is:
§
To discover, develop, and deploy the talent at Netsol
§
To nurture leadership in people and processes
§
To explore and develop capable backups for positions critical to organizational continuity

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES NORTH AMERICA, INC.

The operational assets of NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”) were initially integrated into the Company in 2006 as a result of the acquisition of McCue Systems, Inc. The NTNA division has been headed by Mitch Van Wye as Chief Operating Officer since October 2007. The division has been restructured and reorganized both at the management and business levels with several new senior sales and marketing personnel replacing less senior personnel in the third and fourth quarters of 2008. With the formal integration and better positioning into the global market complete, the Burlingame staff is now moving to newly leased offices in Emeryville, California by Fall 2008.

NTNA provides client requirement-based solutions across multiple technology practices, in both the public and private sectors, with the largest practice being the leasing technology vertical. NTNA offers development of Web-enabled and Web-based tools to deliver superior customer service, reduce operating costs, streamline the lease management lifecycle, and support collaboration with origination channel and asset partners. NTNA’s product, LeasePak, can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users. For scalability, NTNA offers LeasePak Editions for systems and portfolios of virtually all sizes and complexities. These solutions provide the equipment and vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors. NetSol customers include such companies as Hyundai, JP Morgan/Chase, KeyCorp Leasing, City National Bank, Terex Corp., National City Capital Corp., ORIX, and Volkswagen Credit.

Services

NTNA has released a full suite of Global Business Services outsourcing services and customized development solutions, initially focused on the North American equipment finance technology market. The services offering will leverage 30 plus years of equipment leasing and lending experience. While the division's Client Consulting Services department has long offered NTNA customers a range of business process engineering services, the new offering package will greatly expand the menu of available services to meet market needs. New services to be offered will include customized application development, a full range of Quality Assurance (QA) services, customized strategic report design, and business intelligence tool development. Leveraging well-established relationships with users of the division's flagship application, the Global Business Services team will market to these existing customers, then to adjacent groups within customer organizations, eventually building out to a full, industry-wide sales and marketing strategy.

In leveraging the Company’s global footprint, blue chip customer base and BestShoring initiatives, we believe NTNA provides an integrated North American presence to our global offering of software and services based solutions to the lease and finance industry. Not only does this provide a U.S. base of operations and footprint for NetSol, but makes NetSol the only company focusing on the commercial and consumer lease/finance marketplace with actual live implementations within nearly every region of the globe, including, U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Far East.

LeasePak

As part of NetSol’s Financial Suite (NFS) of products, NTNA has and continues to develop the LeasePak Productivity modules as an additional companion set of products to operate in conjunction with the LeasePak licensed software. This toolset enables the LeasePak user to leverage the power of the system to streamline originations, integrate the dealer/vendor network, automate documentation, enhance customer service, manage risk, and control infrastructure overhead. In early 2008, LeasePak 6.0b was released for general availability and has gone into production.

The components of the LeasePak Productivity Suite include but not limited to:

Channel IT– A web-based front end origination channel manager, ChannelIT provides a browser-based origination tool for use by the remote sales force as well as the broker/dealer network and vendor partners. Using ChannelIT’s seamless interface to LeasePak, contract originators and operational personnel have instant access to credit information, terms, and conditions, reducing acceptance times and eliminating costly data re-entry.

Link IT– A toolkit of application interfaces to streamline the integration of the LeasePak lease portfolio management system with best-of-breed third-party tools and enterprise applications. Designed to work with web services as well as with the client-server architecture, LinkIT streamlines application integration and reduces version-maintenance overhead.

9


Doc IT– The integrated document generation for LeasePak auto-generates the letters and documents required to book and finalize a deal. Using customer private-label graphics and customer existing document formatting, LeasePak generates letters and documents, delivers them, and archives them for instant access throughout the life of the contract, asset, and customer relationship.

View IT– A complete business intelligence toolset to give the customer the information required to monitor its lease/loan portfolios. ViewIT provides streamlined strategic reporting, easy-to-use ad-hoc reporting, plus a data warehouse and executive dashboard to identify trends, manage risk, and assure compliance for using real-time strategic information.

Serv IT– LeasePak’s customer web portal enables users to offer customers the convenience of web-based account self-management. The lessor benefits from reduced help desk costs as customers use the web to, amongst other tasks, check payments, update account information, and request payoff quotes.

AcquireIT – A powerful data management and business development tool that enhances the ability of LeasePak users to generate business with each other. This add-on allows equipment leasing entities to greatly reduce the overhead in time and resources required to buy and sell aggregated contracts and/or portfolios, giving LeasePak users a competitive advantage over users of other portfolio management systems.

With the release of LeasePak 6.0b, users have new options for navigation and reporting. Additionally, new capabilities have been incorporated into the product: Business Development Module which streamlines the exchange of aggregated finance contract portfolios between LeasePak users; Commercial Lending Module which adds core functionality for the management of commercial loans; and, Asset Focus Module which provides new options for users to enhance asset accounting and reporting options.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES EUROPE, LTD.

Headed by Naeem Ghauri as President and as a director of NetSol, NetSol Technologies Europe, Ltd (“NetSol Europe”) has been an integral part of the Company since February 2005 when NetSol acquired 100% of CQ Systems Ltd., (“NTE”) an IT products and service company based in the UK. As a result of this acquisition, NetSol has access to a broad European customer base using IT solutions complementary to NetSol’s LeaseSoft product. NetSol has leveraged NTE’s knowledge base and strong presence in the Asset Finance market to launch LeaseSoft in the UK and continental Europe. NTE’s strong sales and marketing capability would further help NetSol gain immediate recognition and positioning for the LeaseSoft suite of products.

Product Portfolio

NTE’s recent LeaseSoft win with a major European bank is a strong vindication of our strategy to leverage our global expertise to develop and market regional solutions while successfully servicing our clients’ specific needs. Our LeaseSoft solutions, with enhanced business coverage for the European markets, are geared to provide a quick return on investment to our clients as well as generate a new revenue driver for the group. The new European LeaseSoft multi-product portfolio has gathered strong initial traction, in a relatively short time, and reflects the growing strength of our product and customer presence in Europe.

A part of NTE’s successful integration has included the continued leverage of the Company’s high quality but lower cost resources in its offshore development center in Lahore, Pakistan. This phase of the transition plan has been completed whereby a dedicated team of software engineers and testers have been trained on NTE product suite and most of the quality assurance, documentation and some of the NTE products core software development activities have been transitioned to Lahore. NTE has been able to implement significant productivity and cost improvements which have included realizing the higher level of cost efficiencies of using the Lahore offshore facility for software development and quality assurance.

Like all NetSol companies, NTE has seen its sales and revenues focus increasingly on total client services rather than on a purely, one-off, product based model. Roughly two-thirds of the new sales for NTE came from products which did not exist when the company was purchased by NetSol. The total client services model has seen an expansion from a solely back office based product to a greater front office focus. This front office focus tends to be highly customized as the initial interface for the customer. NTE’s auto decision component was developed sooner than any competitors and together with its web-based portal, is one of the many front ends solutions that NTE has implemented.

10


In addition to offering all NetSol products, NTE products include: LeaseSoft Portal- introduced to support online access to proposals and for the foundation of web-based origination systems; LeaseSoft Document Manager- introduced to facilitate the automation production and distribution of proposal documentation, including indexation and branding of all outboard and inbound documents; LeaseSoft Auto-Decision Engine- developed to provide automation of credit checking and underwriting for standards based financial products; LeaseSoft EDI Manager- introduced to facilitate process automation between business introducers and funders; and, Evolve- launched to provide an entry level software package for own book brokerages and small to medium size funders.

NTE has recently performed significant updates on the Core product and customer systems to ensure compliance with the onerous CCA2006 legislation. NTE has further implemented significant development enhancements, including a major development for the collections module with significant automation of the arrears handling and collections.

Enterprise Services

Following the establishment of NTNA’s recent services offering, NTE launched its Enterprise Services division this year to leverage both its offshore IT and Business Process Outsourcing capabilities. This move into outsourced services is seen as strategic to the future growth of NetSol.

NetSol office in Beijing, China

As part of its growth strategy and in view of the desire to serve its markets better, NetSol established a sales office in Beijing, China. This office is both a sales and marketing location and a liaison office for the Company’s ongoing operations and implementation services for Daimler Financial Services, BMW and other clients in the country. The office is managed by NetSol PK.

NetSol’s office in Bangkok, Thailand 

To further strengthen its presence in the Asia-Pacific market, and to provide exclusive services to its clients, the company has recently established a support office at a prime location in Bangkok, Thailand. The office has a working area of 87 sq. m. Its core responsibilities are to enhance business through targeting potential customers and providing technical support to the company’s existing clients in Thailand.

NetSol Office in Australia

NetSol also maintains a presence in Australia to serve its customers such as Mercedes Benz Financial Services, Yamaha, and few other Fortune 500 auto manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand. Given the potential of this market, and the company’s strategic focus on it, it plans to build a bigger presence through a permanent office space.

NetSol Office in the United Arab Emirates

As a follow to NetSol’s recent listing of its shares of common stock on the Dubai International Financial Exchange (the “DIFX”), NetSol has committed to opening an office in the United Arab Emirates. The office will operate both as sales and support office for the Company’s Middle East customers.

Status of New Products and Services
 
InBanking™

The Company’s banking solution is currently being marketed in the European region by NTE.

With the acquisition of Pearl Treasury System in 2003-2004, whose product offering is now referred to as InBanking™, the Company expands its menu of software into the banking and other financial areas.

The Pearl Treasury System (“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 markets operations. On an internal review of PTS post acquisition, it was decided to re-write the system within .NET technologies, bringing the system into the leading edge n-tier/browser-based environment. The project name for this program is InBanking™.

The tremendous flexibility enabled by the comprehensive data model and multi-tier architectural design of InBanking™ has been fully recognized, identifying the potential to further develop InBanking™ beyond treasury and capital markets. Additionally, InBanking™ is modular and can therefore be implemented as best-of-breed solutions for, as an example, front-office trading, middle office credit or market risk, or back office settlement. InBanking™ can also be implemented to support all these areas, plus others, as a single fully integrated solution.

NetSol Technology Institute

Recently started by the Company, and formerly NetSol Omni, the NetSol Technology Institute (“NTI”) has been started with the goal of playing a vital role in the transition phase of the Pakistan IT industry by creating a pool of skilled IT human resources. NTI is aimed at building a strong educational base, initially as an institute, then branching out either as a wholly owned chain or franchise. NTI offers specialized career oriented trainings and workshops on the latest tools and technologies. The curriculum is based on current and future industry needs and resource requirements. The instructors are industry practitioners sharing their personal experiences during the training. NTI delivers training on different platforms including in-house training and third party arrangements. We hope to enter into collaborations with international industry consortiums such as the American Society for Quality for endorsement of our trainings.

To meet the current supply shortage of IT technicians, NTI has initiated an innovative certification called STC to bridge this divide between demand and supply. STC is a fast track, 1 year certification aimed at producing technicians that can be used by the IT industry.
 
Outsourcing Services-NetSol-Innovation (EI)

In November 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with the Innovation Group (formerly referred to as TiG), (“TiG”) whereby the TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Ltd., now NetSol-Innovation (Pvt) Ltd., (“EI”), a Pakistani company, provides support services enabling TiG to scale solution delivery operations in key growth markets. TiG-NetSol operations are centered in NetSol’s IT Village, Lahore, Pakistan. NetSol owns a majority of the venture. The entities share in the profits of the joint venture on the basis of their shareholding. The outsourcing model between TiG and NetSol involves services pertaining to business analyses, configuration, testing, software quality assurance (SQA), technical communication as well as project management for TiG software. Today, NetSol has developed extensive expertise across the insurance domain and has become a center of excellence.

Initiated with a 10 person outsourcing team in Lahore in February 2005, this arrangement has extended to a 130 person team in June 2008 with the additional resources catering to the increased influx of outsourcing of configuration and testing assignments from Innovation Group. Prominent Innovation Group’s customers being serviced from Lahore include Allstate Insurance Canada, Avis Budget Car Rental Group USA, Norwich Union UK, Hertz UK, Aviva Canada, Erinaceous UK and many others. Backed up by a dedicated 4Mbps fiber optic link and an additional 2Mbps wireless backup link for communication and teleconferencing, this arrangement allows NetSol's human resources to efficiently and effectively respond to additional outsourcing and offshore configuration work.

Growth through Acquisition and Alliance

The acquisitions of CQ Systems, Ltd. in 2005 (now “NTE”) and McCue Systems, Inc. in 2006 (now “NTNA”), finalized the implementation of our mergers and acquisition plan developed in mid-2004. In this plan, NetSol management identified mergers and acquisitions as potential methods of capitalizing on the demand of the Company’s flagship product, LeaseSoft, on infiltrating previously untapped or under-tapped markets, and as a means of launching its treasury banking software systems. The completion of these acquisitions provides NetSol with positioning as the only software supplier in the leasing space with a global footprint of installed customers in each geographic region throughout the world. This, together with the visible turnaround in the services and outsourcing sectors in global markets, led to a growth strategy encompassing both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions.

The Company continues to explore mergers and acquisition opportunities with a focus on strategic acquisitions that provide immediate, strong, bottom line benefits. Management believes that an ideal target will fulfill one or many of these criteria: geographic synergy/providing a foot print in a market; unique and/or complimentary product lines; provide additional, and cost effective development hubs, or complimentary or target customers in a previously untapped market. While there is no guaranty that an acquisition which appears to be sound will ultimately benefit the Company, management continues to analyze the price, value and market of any potential target. The model of targeting well established, profitable product companies, within NetSol’s domain, management believes, has proven successful with our recent acquisitions. Management believes this model can be replicated over the next three years.
 
Growth through Establishing Partner Networks

NetSol is well aware that market reach is essential to effectively market IT products and services around the globe. For this purpose, the Company is looking forward to establishing a network of partners worldwide. These companies will represent NetSol in their respective countries and will develop business for NetSol. Keeping these strategic objectives in view, NetSol has entered into a mutually non-exclusive agreement with Singapore Computer Systems (“SCS”) that allows SCS to market LeaseSoft in the entire Asia Pacific region.

NetSol is a member of the world’s largest equipment leasing association, the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association of North America or ELFA. Boasting more than 1,000 members, the ELFA is a strong presence in the $250 billion North American market.

Daimler Financial Services (“DFS”) Asia Pacific has established an “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 Ltd. Lahore are supporting DFS companies in seven different countries in Asia and this list can increase as other DFS companies from other countries may also opt for LeaseSoft. In July, 2008, the Company entered into a new Frame Agreement with Daimler Financial Services AG (“DFS”) for Asia Pacific and Africa region. This agreement, which serves as a base line agreement for use of the LeaseSoft products by DFS companies and affiliated companies, represents an endorsement of the LeaseSoft product line and the capabilities of NetSol to worldwide DFSentities. This continued 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. This relationship has resulted in new agreements with DFS and has served as a marketing source which has resulted in agreements with companies such as Toyota and BMW.

NTE’s strategic relationship with Field Solutions provided the Company with the opportunity to increase product sales of Evolve, particularly for brokers looking to start their own book. The Field Solutions strategic relationship has now been expanded through collaboration on Sales Pricing Tools to facilitate tax based leasing operations in the middle to big ticket market segment, further extending the regions’ product and market reach.

Technical Affiliations

The Company currently has technical affiliations such as: a MicroSoft Certified GOLD Partner; a member of the Intel Solution blueprint Program; IBM Business Partner and, an Oracle Certified Partner.

Marketing and Selling

The Marketing Program

NetSol management continues its optimism that the Company will experience ever increasing opportunities for its product and services offerings in 2008 and beyond. The Company is aggressively growing the marketing and sales organizations in the United Kingdom, in conjunction with NTE, in Pakistan with NetSol PK and, with NTNA in the Americas. Management believes that the year 2009 will follow 2008 and 2007 as a year for continued growth, the launching of footprints in new markets, such as the Middle East, South and Central America, and penetration of established markets such as North America, Asia Pacific and Europe.

While affiliations and partnering resulted 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, software solutions and business process outsourcing. 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.

A number of new marketing initiatives have either been launched or are in the pipeline. These programs are designed to create brand awareness and to deliver our message directly to our target group. As the company has evolved in the past few years, the number of solutions and service offerings has grown manifolds. The depth and breadth of our products and services would be more effectively marketed by participation in more industry events, advertising, holding seminars, delivering keynote addresses and creating more channel distribution. Our key marketing initiatives have been designed to transition the brand equity built by the NTNA and NTE brands to the Company as a whole.

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.

The Markets

NetSol provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial industries. In the global commercial area, the Company's service offerings are marketed to clients in a wide array of industries including, automotive, chemical, textiles, Internet marketing, software, medical, banks, higher education and telecommunication associations, and, financial services.

By design, NetSol has increased its brand recognition in one of the most vibrant and dynamically growing regions.

Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Performance Overview 

The Company has effectively expanded its development base and technical capabilities by training its programmers to provide customized IT solutions in many other sectors and not limiting itself to the lease and finance industry.

This was accomplished primarily through export of IT services and product licensed to both the domestic and overseas markets.

Technology Campus

Due to the Company’s global growth, the NetSol development infrastructure has required expansion. Management and the Board have approved the construction of a new structure behind the current NetSol tower in Lahore.

The original Technology Campus was completed in May 2004 and the Lahore operations relocated to the facilities in May 2004. The facility was formally inaugurated by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan H.E. Shaukat Aziz on March 4, 2005. The campus has been declared a Software Technology Park by the Government of Pakistan. The Government has also financed the linking of the campus with the high speed fiber optic backbone capable of providing 155 MB internet bandwidth. The Internet bandwidth is effectively utilized to offer state of the art video conferencing and VOIP (Voice over IP) facilities for effective and seamless communication with our global customer base. Encompassing a covered area of more than 55,000 square feet and housing over 600 professionals, this is one of the largest such facilities for IT services in the region. During the current fiscal year, NetSol PK needed to expand its space due to its growth. It has made arrangements with the owner of the adjacent land to build an office to the Company’s specifications and the Company agreed to help pay for the development of the land in exchange for discounted rent for the next three years. In addition, NetSol PK has begun work on building a new building behind the current one. The enhancement of infra-structure is necessary to meet the company’s growth in local and international business. In addition to being the headquarters for NetSol’s subsidiaries in Pakistan, it also serves the NetSol group’s global services and products development facility. The CMMi Level 5 rated facility ensures quality engineering practices to its clients across the globe. 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 & UET. These institutions are also the source of quality IT resources for the Company. Lahore is a modern city with very good communication and solid 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 is the first purpose built software building with state of the art technology and communications infrastructure in Pakistan. The investment made by the company in developing this technology campus is proving to be highly effective in attracting new business not only from global blue chip customers but also from the fast developing Pakistan market.
 
People and Culture

The Company believes it has developed a strong corporate culture that is critical to its success. Its 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 software engineering, project management, business analysis, technical writing, sales and marketing, communication and presentation skills. 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, the Company has 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 IT professionals living overseas.

Management believes it has been successful in capitalizing on the “Reverse Brain Drain” phenomenon whereby it has been able to attract and retain highly qualified and suitably experienced IT and management professionals working overseas and returning to Pakistan. These include senior management as well as software development professionals that directly contribute to the organization’s improvement of various engineering processes and procedures at NetSol.

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 millions of stock options . Management believes that its employees are the most invaluable asset of NetSol.

18


Overall, NetSol as a global IT company has over 20% female employees with the biggest concentration in our development facility in Lahore and in the U.S. headquarters. The Company is an equal opportunity employer. Being a successful company with a well respected name in the business community, NetSol encourages its employees to actively participate and contribute to charitable contributions for catastrophic tragedies anywhere in the globe.

There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to perform the services we offer. The company runs an elaborate training program for different cadre of employees ranging from technical knowledge, business domains as well as communication, management and leadership skills. The Company believes that it has been successful in its 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, 2008, we had 959 full-time employees and 38 part-time employees; comprised of 775 IT project and technical personnel in Pakistan, UK, Australia, and US; and 222 non-IT personnel in Pakistan, UK, Australia and US. The non-IT personnel include 43 employees in management, 51 employees in sales and marketing, 28 employees in accounting, 18 in customer support, and 82 in general and administration. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Our telecom subsidiary NetSol Connect has 78 full time employees based in Karachi, Pakistan, which are included in the total full-time employee count.

Competition

Neither a single company nor a small number of companies dominate the IT market in the space in which the Company competes. 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.

In the LeaseSoft business space, the barriers to entry are getting higher. The products are getting more cutting edge and richness in functionality is paramount. Older companies have prolonged the life of their legacy products by creating web-based front ends, while the core of the systems has not been re-engineered.

In the case of LeaseSoft, we compete chiefly against leading suppliers of IT solutions to the financial industry, including names such as Fimasys, International Decision Systems (IDS), Data Scan, CHP Consulting, 3i Infotech, Finnone and Nucleus Software. In the LeaseSoft business space, the barriers to entry are getting higher. The products are getting more cutting-edge, and richness in functionality is paramount. Older companies have prolonged the life of their legacy products by creating web-based front ends, while the core of the systems has not been re-engineered.

In the IT based business services areas, we compete with both smaller local firms and many global IT services providers, including names such as Wipro, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway, HCL and TCS (Tata Consulting).

Our competition mostly are based in high cost locations in the US, UK and Europe as opposed to NetSol with its facility in Lahore. NetSol is now the only company in the leasing and finance solution space that provides regional solutions in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. In addition, it is the only company in this space that is publicly listed and provides an offshore development infrastructure with CMMi level 5 accreditation.
 
Some of the competitors of the Company are International Decisions Systems, EDW, Data Scan, AIPAC, CHP, KPMG, LMK Resources, Systems Innovation (Si3), Bearing Point, Kalsoft, Systems Limited, Oratech Pakistan, TechAccess Pakistan a few others. 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.

This year, NetSol, has gone a step further by providing consultancy services to organizations so as to improve their quality of operations and services in addition to winning strategically important assignments within the E-Governance domain for organizations of national significance in Pakistan, including the Ministry of Health and Establishment Division. Also, Netsol was able to secure a major defense sector hospital for its HMIS solution. Its clients include private as well as public sector enterprises.

The other 30% of development is conducted in the Proximity Development Center or "PDC" in Horsham, UK and the U.S. development facility located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. This signifies the newly launched ‘BestShoring’ model by providing the best services at the most efficient pricing model. The marketing effort is shared and coordinated between the primary divisions operating at NetSol PK. in Lahore, Pakistan; NetSol UK, NTE in the UK; and NTNA in the U.S. US marketing operations are conducted through the parent and NTNA. These are the core operating companies engaged in developing and marketing IT solutions and software development and marketing. An initiative is underway to unify the look and feel of all advertising, branding and marketing material.

NetSol UK, together with NTE, services and supports the clients in the UK and Europe. NetSol PK services and supports the customers in the Asia Pacific and South Asia regions. NTNA, together with the parent, supports all of the North American customers.

NetSol has initiated the launch of Dubai based presence to promote and market its business in one of the most vibrant and dynamic regions. The rationale of approaching the Dubai-Mid East market is to leverage NetSol’s global footprint and brand recognition. There is apparent appetite and loyalty of Middle East businesses with Pakistan based IT resources and NetSol expects to see strong traction in coming years.

Despite numerous challenges facing Pakistan in 2008 due to political unrest and economic pressure, according to reports from World Bank ranking, most rank Pakistan as the 60th country in the ease of doing business ahead of both China and India.

The IT and telecommunication sector is the fastest growing sector in Pakistan mostly due to growing privatization, relaxed policies and a 15 year tax holiday on IT exports of services and products. These policies have strongly encouraged companies, like NetSol, to enhance its infrastructure and develop a solid and formidable team of IT professionals.

The Company has seen noticeable demand from APAC and UAE region to use NetSol PK development infrastructure that offers competitive price and technology advantage to serve its customers.

A few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in 2008 were:
 
*
Adding 5 new clients in China in the last 18 months, continuing its status as the Company’s biggest single market
*
A turnaround in our Australian market adding new names such as CNH Australia
*
Launch of Thailand office
*
Robust growth of NetSol’s joint venture with Innovation Group, over 130 programmers dedicated
 
*
Continued addition of blue chip customers such as Terex Corp, Fiat, Toyota Financial, blue chip names in the US and Investec

From the point of view of the interests of our foreign partners and customers in NetSol, Pakistan remains a safe place to do business. The specific successes achieved from the acquisitions of CQ Systems (NTE) and McCue Systems (NTNA) endorses the fact that Pakistan is a safe place to do business when compared to many other troubled spots in the globe. Our best and proven business case is the NetSol - Innovation Group joint venture. This represents the best example of not only NetSol’s capabilities but the ability of a Pakistan based company to achieve off shore business model success for a Western based company. This joint venture provides the major US and UK customers of Innovation Group in the UK with world class service from NetSol Pakistan, enhancing the client’s productivity at much more attractive prices. Under any geo-political challenges, the Company is quite prepared in any contingency to use alternate development facilities located in Beijing (China), Horsham (UK), Emeryville (USA) and Adelaide (Australia). These locations mitigate any underlying risk due to any geopolitical crises.

Organization

NetSol Technologies, Inc. (formerly NetSol International, Inc.) was founded in 1997 and is organized as a Nevada corporation. The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation on March 20, 2002 to change its name to NetSol Technologies, Inc.

The success of the Company, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on the Company's ability to: (a) continue to grow revenues and improve profits, (b) raise funds for continued operations and growth; (c) make a major entry in the US market and, (d) streamline sales and marketing efforts in the Asia Pacific region, Europe, the Middle East, 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, the Company anticipates to be able to continue to improve operating results at its core by reducing costs and improving gross margins. Management has effectively achieved a seamless transition and integration of NTE and NTNA with NetSol front end and back end operations.

Intellectual Property

The Company relies upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, as well as common law trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect its proprietary rights. The Company enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, generally requires its consultants and clients to enter into these agreements, and limits access to and distribution of its proprietary information. The NetSol logo and name, as well as the LeaseSoft logo and product name have been copyrighted and trademark registered in Pakistan. The Company intends to trademark and copyright its intellectual property as necessary and in the appropriate jurisdictions.

21


Governmental Approval and Regulation

Current Company 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 the Company maintains subsidiaries and conducts operations. Pakistani law allows a tax exemption on income from exports of IT services and products up to 2016. While foreign based companies may invest in Pakistan, repatriation of their investment, in the form of dividends or other methods, requires approval of the State Bank of Pakistan. 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.

Research and Development 
In anticipation of an upcoming World Bank funded program, NetSol Pakistan has been proactively undertaking a Research and Development exercise to develop a proof of concept for “computerization of Land Records Management Information System (LRMIS)”. NetSol’s LRMIS is developed after thorough evaluations of existing manual system and client/user needs, detailed system analysis and process flow definition. It automates various land record management registers and is programmed to generate key reports on multiple parameters. Overall it provides the benefits of timely data availability, data transparency and accuracy, cost effectiveness, easy transaction tracking and better decision making using IT-enablement in a field where its need is hugely felt. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has invested approximately $1,044,389 on this project.

Title to this facility is held by NetSol Technologies Ltd. and is not subject to any mortgages. The Company 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 has invested nearly 10 million Rupees (approximately $150,000) to install fiber optic lines and improve the bandwidth for the facility. In order to cater for future business expansion and taking advantage of depressing real estate market, the company purchased two new cottages adjacent to its main building. Total covered area of these cottages is 4,900 sq feet and it cost was approximately $250,000.

ITEM 6 - 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, 2008.
 
Forward Looking Information

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to NetSol that is based on the beliefs of 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 inaccurate, 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 is built. NetSol does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Management has set the following new goals for NetSol for the next 12 months:

 
·
Expand sales and marketing activities in China. In addition to the Beijing office, we anticipate launching new sales and support offices in at least 1-2 more cities in China.

·
Globalization and diversification of development and programming capabilities, not limited to Southeast Asia but exploration of emerging economies in Central and South America to support the NTNA business.
 
·
Most strategic goal in 2009 is to establish the NTNA business by expanding the existing operations. The move from a smaller office in Burlingame to a much larger office in Emeryville will be a major event in NetSol history. This strategy has strong potential of ramping up global business and valuation for Netsol consistent with our stated vision.

In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol is frequently assessed to maintain its CMMi Level 5 quality certification. We believe that the CMMi standards achievement is a key reason in NetSol’s demand surge worldwide. We remain convinced that this trend will continue for all NetSol offerings promoting further beneficial alliances and increasing the number and quality of our global customers. The quest for quality standards is a key to NetSol overall sustainability and success. In 2008 NetSol PK became ISO 27001 certified, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security Management

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL

NetSol has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol

Positive trends:

 
·
Robust worldwide shift towards cost redundancies, economies of scale and labor arbitrage.
 
·
The global economic pressures has shifted IT processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions providers, to control the costs and improve ROIs.
 
·
New trends in the most emerging and newest markets. There has been a noticeable new demand of leasing and financing solutions as a result of new buying habits and patterns in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central America.
 
·
The overall leasing and finance industry in North America has steadily grown to over $260 billion despite the subprime crises, partly due to the resulting lack of cash liquidity.
 
·
The levy of Indian IT sector excise tax of 35% (NASSCOM) on software exports is very positive for NetSol. In Pakistan there is a 15 year tax holiday on IT exports of services. There are 10 more years remaining on this tax incentive.
 
·
Cost arbitrage, labor costs still very competitive and attractive when compared with India. Pakistan is significantly under priced for IT services and programmers as compared to India.
 
·
Pakistan is one of the fastest growing IT destinations from emerging and new markets.
 
·
Chinese market is burgeoning and wide open for NetSol’s ‘niche’ products and services. NetSol is gaining a strong foothold in this market.

Negative trends:

 
·
The disturbance in Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan borders. Due to 9/11 events and global war on terrorism, the travel advisory of Americans travel restrictions to Pakistan continue. In addition, travel restrictions to the US and more stringent immigration laws are causing delays in travel to the US.
 
·
Negative perception and image created by extremism and terrorism in the South Asian region.
 
·
Overall slump in world markets, curtailing IT and spending budgets.
 
·
Unstable economic and political environment in Pakistan and the current volatility of Pakistan’s capital markets.
 
·
Worry of an expanding and unending credit crunch in the world economies due to financial and banking sector failures.
 
·
Overall decline of auto sales due to higher oil prices and inflationary pressure.

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.

29

 

VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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

INCOME TAXES

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets generated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced in part by a valuation allowance. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.

CASH RESOURCES
We were successful in improving our cash position by the end of our fiscal year, June 30, 2008 with $6.2 million in cash worldwide. In addition, $3.3 million was injected by the exercise of options and warrants in 2008 and $1.5 million was injected from a sale of restricted common stock in a private placement.

CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board of Directors

At the 2008 Annual Shareholders Meeting a seven member board was elected. The shareholders voted for the following slate of directors: Mr. Najeeb U. Ghauri, Mr. Salim Ghauri, Mr. Eugen Beckert, Mr. Naeem U. Ghauri, Mr. Shahid Burki, Mr. Mark Caton and Mr. Alexander Shakow.

The total consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2008 was $36,642,175 compared to $29,282,086 in fiscal year 2007. This is a nearly 25% increase in revenue. Maintenance fee revenue increased 16% from $5,441,339 to $6,306,321. Revenue from services, which includes consulting and implementation, increased 26% from $14,052,481 to $17,650,815. The increase is attributable mostly to growth in services business, several new license sales of LeaseSoft in China, growing outsourcing business of NetSol-TIG (JV) and additional maintenance work. In addition, several new verticals have been formed in Lahore and are now producing revenues. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. NetSol in Pakistan has been pre-qualified to participate in several public sector projects. The most significant is the World Bank funded Land Record Management Information Systems or LRMIS. This project has a World Bank grant of $300 million in Pakistan and NetSol was given two pilot projects in the province of Punjab in 2007, and a recent one in Islamabad. NetSol anticipates winning key projects in this area in next few quarters.

The fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was a very busy and exciting period for NetSol worldwide. The activity for NetSol’s new license sales for LeaseSoft is increasingly on the rise. The current pipeline boasts over 30 plus captive auto manufacturers and non-captives globally at an advance stage of closing or decision making.

Several new major customers were added in 2008 in APAC and the European markets. The most significant license customers included Nissan in China, BMW in Hong Kong, a major Italian auto manufacture in China, and a major European bank. Several domestic projects and contracts were signed during the year.

Due to the revision in our pricing policy, LeaseSoft license value in APAC is in the range of $1.0 to $2.0 million, without factoring in services maintenance and implementation fees. Normally, NetSol negotiates 18-20% yearly maintenance contracts with customers. A number of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies. As the Company continues to sell more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 60%.

During the current year, our APAC division successfully implemented its LeaseSoft product suite for two major automotive captives in Hong Kong and China. NetSol has signed a contract with one of the largest leasing companies in Saudi Arabia for LeaseSoft and this contract marks NetSol’s entry into the lucrative Middle East region. In addition, a contract with a leading automobile manufacturer in Australia was signed for the LeaseSoft product. NetSol won a contract with a leading bank in Pakistan for Basel II advisory services this opportunity for NetSol represents a new business sector vertical for the Company. A contract was signed with a major public sector hospital in Pakistan to design and implement an IT system. This represents a new vertical for NetSol in developing Hospital Management Systems. In addition, NetSol has launched a new information security management initiative in Pakistan, called “Secure Pakistan”. The project aims to secure critical information, while in storage or transfer, from theft.

NetSol signed a new frame agreement with Mercedes Benz Financial Services AG Germany, to service their needs in the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific regions. The frame agreement outlines the implementation of basic and general provisions, regulations, and processes of existing and all future individual agreements for the development and delivery of software or services to Mercedes Benz Financial Services.

During the current year, NetSol, lead by the North American division has launched Global Services to bring our competencies in delivering IT services to the global market and especially in North America. A new business model, “BestShoring” was developed to deliver the best solution to the market using both on-shore and off-shore resources.

The North American division has introduced “consulting selling” to it market whereby the clients requirements are being accessed, with requirements workshops, and providing the best solution to meet the client’s needs with LeasePak and/or LeaseSoft. North America is introducing the LeaseSoft product suite to its market.

Our joint-venture, NetSol-Innovation continues to grow overall. The total programmer strength is over 130 people dedicated to the joint-venture projects. In addition, two new projects in the United States of America were signed and Innovation Group’s release management of five different countries has recently been given to our Extended Innovation (“EI”) division which works with the joint-venture.

Our EMEA division (“NTE”) had two customers “go-live” during the current fiscal year and had several contracts for data transfers as the market in Europe consolidated. There were three new customers contracts signed during the current fiscal year, using the full co-operation of the UK and Pakistan teams for the implementation, with the UK staff doing the customer facing activities while Lahore provided the technical and development input; a win for our “BestShoring” model.

The gross profit was $20,918,031 for year ended June 30, 2008 as compared with $15,587,575 for the same period of the previous year. This is a 34% increase. The gross profit percentage was 57% for the current fiscal year and 53% in the prior year. The cost of sales was $15,724,144 in the current year compared to $13,694, 511 in the prior year. Although salaries and consultant fees increased $1,258,730 from $8,812,934 in the prior year to $10,071,664, as a percentage of sales, it decreased 3% from 30% in the prior year to 27% in the current year. The gross profit margin is expected to continue to improve as the integration of both the operations in Horsham, UK and Burlingame, US are fully integrated and cost savings are achieved. The Company has invested heavily in its infrastructure, both in people and equipment during the current fiscal year as it situated itself for increased growth organically.

Operating expenses were $13,708,812 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $12,940,707 for the year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of only 6% from the prior year. The increase is mainly attributable to increased selling and marketing activities, additional employees and an increase in overall activities due to our increased marketing efforts. As a percentage of sales it decreased 7% from 44% to 37%. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $1,939,502 and $1,846,790 for the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Combined salaries and wage costs were $3,703,836 and $3,696,501 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of only $7,335 from the corresponding period last year.

General and administrative expenses were $3,447,113 and $2,977,917 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of $469,196 or 16%. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 9% in the current year compared to 10% in the prior year. The increase in costs is due to the three new sales offices in Pakistan, the sales office in China, increased board fees, increased travel and other expenses that supporting a large workforce entail. As of June 30, 2008, we had 997 employees world-wide.

Selling and marketing expenses increased to $3,722,470 for the year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $3,161,924 for the year ended June 30, 2007, reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 10.1% in the current year compared to 10.8% in the prior year. The Company wrote-off, as uncollectible, bad debts of $58,293 and $189,873, during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The income from operations in fiscal year 2008 was $7,209,219 compared to $2,646,868 in fiscal year 2007. This represents an increase of $4,562,351 or 172%. As a percentage of sales, net income from operations was 19.7% in the current year compared to 9.0% in the prior period.

Net income in fiscal year 2008 was $4,813,683 compared to a loss of $6,012,283 in fiscal year 2007 or an increase of $10,825,966. During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company was required to pay a dividend to the preferred stockholders of $178,541 and $237,326. The current fiscal year amount includes a net reduction for the minority interest in earnings of $5,038,115 compared to a reduction of $2,832,985 in the prior year for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect and NetSol-Innovation, and the 41.32/39.42% minority interest in NetSol PK. The current fiscal year includes a net gain on the sale of some of the Parent’s shares in NetSol PK on the open market of $1,240,808. In the prior year, the Company recognized non-recurring expenses including $2,208,334 expense for the beneficial conversion feature on notes payable, $2,803,691 of amortized costs of debt, and $180,890 of liquidation damages, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded an expense of $68,411 for the fair market value of warrants granted for the year ended June 30, 2007. The net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.20 and $0.19 in 2008 compared to net loss, basic and diluted, of $0.33 in 2007.

The net EBITDA income was $9,095,319 compared to loss of $2,355,561 after amortization and depreciation charges of $3,354,472 and $2,641,272, income taxes of $121,982 and $160,306, and interest expense of $626,640 and $617,818 respectively. The EBITDA earnings per share, basic was $0.38 and diluted was $0.35 compared to a loss of $0.13, basic and diluted. For the year ended June 30, 2007, with the addition of the non-cash charge for the amortized costs of debt of $2,803,691 and the beneficial conversion feature expense of $2,208,334 the adjusted pro forma EBITDA income would be $2,656,464 and the adjusted pro forma EBITDA earnings per share, basic and diluted, would be $0.15. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance, we are providing it because we believe it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other financial measures calculated and presented, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. It may not be indicative of the Company’s historical operating results nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash position was $6,275,238 at June 30, 2008 compared to $4,010,164 at June 30, 2007.
 
The Company’s current assets, as of June 30, 2008, totaled $30,723,575 and were 48.17% of total assets, an increase of 1.25% from $23,237,058 or 46.92% as of June 30, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $17,036,631 compared to $11,449,252 as of June 30, 2007, an increase of $5,587,379. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had $11.0 million in accounts receivable and $11.0 million in revenues in excess of billings.

36

 
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $3,772,041 for the year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to used in $45,888 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The increase is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable and other assets offset by an increase in accounts payable as well as an increase in operating income. The increase in sales has resulted in an increase in accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings. We expect to receive payments on these accounts within the next fiscal year.
 
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $10,153,779 for the year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $7,639,916 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the increase in intangible assets capitalized as well as an increase in purchases of fixed assets. The Company had purchases of property and equipment of $4,435,755 compared to $2,420,470 for the comparable period last fiscal year.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $8,556,215 and $9,095,915 for years ended June 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The current fiscal year included the cash inflow of $1,500,000 from the sale of common stock and $3,282,827 from the exercising of stock options and warrants, compared to $1,030,093 and $1,008,250 in the prior year, respectively. In the current fiscal year, the Company had $5,441,870 in proceeds from bank loans, and net capital leases payments of $3,409,496 as compared to proceeds of $2,359,017 in the comparable period last year. In addition, during the current fiscal year, the Company sold shares it held of its subsidiary in Pakistan on the open market and had $1,765,615 in proceeds from the sale.
 
The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and strengthen marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts.

As a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long term business plans. Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we have the following capital needs:

 
·
Working capital of $5.0 to $7.0 million for US, European and Pakistan business expansion, new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.

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

The methods of raising funds for capital needs may differ based on the following:

 
·
Stock volatility due to market conditions in general and NetSol stock performance in particular. This may cause a shift in our approach to raising new capital through other sources such as secured long term debt.

 
·
Analysis of the cost of raising capital in the U.S., Europe or emerging markets. By way of example only, if the cost of raising capital is high in one market and it may negatively affect the company’s stock performance, we may explore options available in other markets.

Should global or other general macro economic factors cause an adverse climate, we would defer new financing and use internal cash flow for capital expenditures.

Dividends and Redemption

It has been the Company's policy to invest earnings in the growth of the Company rather than distribute earnings as common stock dividends. This policy, under which common stock dividends have not been paid since the Company's inception and is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors.

During the year ended June 30, 2008, we issued 114,588 shares of common stock as dividends due under the terms of the Preferred Stock; the dividends were issued in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation which was approved by the board of directors.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting has been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, at June 30, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 9. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the Company's directors and executive officers and persons owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on copies of such forms furnished as provided above, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of its Common Stock were complied with.

ITEM 10-EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance at or above established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.
 
 
Management develops our compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data in the media services and technology industries. We believe that the practices of these groups of companies provide us with appropriate compensation benchmarks, because these groups of companies are in similar businesses and tend to compete with us for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, we typically review the compensation data we have collected from these groups of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees as the Company. For purposes of determining executive compensation, we have not engaged consultants to help us analyze this data or to compare our compensation programs with the practices of the companies represented in the compensation data we review.
 
Based on management's analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to establish base salaries and total executive compensation (taking into consideration the executive's experience and abilities) that are competitive with those companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data we review.
 
We work within the framework of this pay-for-performance compensation philosophy to determine each component of an executive's initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:
 
• the individual's particular background, track record and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience;

• the individual's role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that we review;

• the demand for individuals with the individual's specific expertise and experience;

• performance goals and other expectations for the position; and,

 uniqueness of industry skills.

41

 
The terms of each executive officer's compensation are derived from employment agreements negotiated between the Company and the executive. Each executive's employment agreement is generally negotiated to cover a one to three-year period, and prescribes the base salary and other annual payments, if any, to the executive. Employment agreements for all executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. Employment agreements for other executives are approved by the Company's Chief Executive Officer.
 
2008 Executive Compensation Components
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the principal components of compensation that our named executive officers were eligible to receive were:
 
 Base salary;
 Long Term Equity Incentive Compensation;
 Performance-based incentive compensation (discretionary bonus); and,
 Perquisites and other personal benefits.
 
Base Salary
 
An executive's base salary is evaluated together with components of the executive's other compensation to ensure that the executive's total compensation is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy.
 
The base salaries were established in arms-length negotiations between the executive and the Company, taking into account their extensive experience, knowledge of the industry, track record, and achievements on behalf of the Company.
 
Base salaries are adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee.
 
Annual Bonus
 
 
During our fiscal year ended 2008, Mr. Najeeb Ghauri was awarded a cash bonus of $0. Ms. Gilger was awarded a cash bonus of $15,000. Ms. McGlasson was awarded a cash bonus of $5,000. Mr. Salim Ghauri was awarded a cash bonus of $0 and Mr. Naeem Ghauri was awarded a cash bonus of $0.
 
Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation
 
We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by our executives in equity-based awards. Our various Employee Stock Option Plans allow us to grant stock options to employees. We currently make initial equity awards of stock options to new executives and certain non-executive employees in connection with their employment with the Company. Annual grants of options, if any, are approved by the Compensation Committee.
 
Equity Incentives.    Executives, certain non-executive employees, and directors who join us may be awarded stock awards and/or stock option grants after they join the Company. These grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Such awards are intended to provide the executive with incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The size of the stock option award is also reviewed in light of the executive's track record, base salary, other compensation and other factors to ensure that the executive's total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy. A review of all components of compensation is conducted when determining equity awards to ensure that total compensation conforms to our overall philosophy and objectives.
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
We provide named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to executive officers.

42

 
 
Termination Based Compensation
 
Upon termination of employment, all executive officers are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve, and as part of the process of setting the terms of, such severance arrangements, the Compensation Committee recognizes that executives and officers often face challenges securing new employment following termination. Further, the Committee recognizes that many of the named executives and officers have participated in the Company since its founding and that this participation has not resulted in a return on their investments. Termination and Change in Control Payments considered both the risk and the dedication of these executives’ service to the Company.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer, CEO of NetSol Technologies, Ltd. and CEO of Netsol Technologies Europe, Ltd. have employment agreements that provide, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the third anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
The CFO of the Company has an employment agreement that provides, if she is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, she is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of six months of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for her and her family until the end of the employment term and through the end of six months following the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
The Secretary of the Company has an employment agreement that provides, if she is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, she is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for her and her family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.
 
Tax and Accounting Implications
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
 
As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. We believe that compensation paid under the management incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
 
Beginning on July 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including awards under our Employee Stock Option Plans, in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or SFAS 123(R).

(“Tail Wind”) may be deemed to beneficially own a total of 4,352,073 shares of Common Stock, including: 1,268,740 shares of Common Stock held by Tail Wind,; 1,060,606 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of $1,750,000 in liquidation preference of the Company’s Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“the Preferred Stock”); 303,030 sshares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants issued to Tail Wind on June 29, 2007; 303,030 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants issued to Tail Wind on October 29, 2007 (together with the warrants issued on June 29, 2007, the “Warrants”); and, 1,416,667 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of $4,250,000 in principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes due July 31, 2011 issued to Tail Wind on July 23, 2008 (the “Notes”). .

The aggregate fees billed by Kabani & Co. for the annual audit and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB or services that are normally provided by Kabani & Company that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $120,000, and for the year ended June 30, 2007 was $105,000.
 
Audit Related Fees 
 
 The aggregate fees billed by Kabani & Co. during fiscal 2008 including assurance and related audit services not covered in the preceding paragraph was $37,500. These “Audit Related Fees” were primarily for services in connection with the review of quarterly financial statements.. The aggregate fees billed by Kabani & Company during fiscal 2007 including assurance and related audit services not covered in the preceding paragraph was $52,500. These “Audit Related Fees” were primarily for services in connection with the review of quarterly financial statements and the Company’s filing of a Registration Statement and amendments thereto on Form S-3.
 
Tax Fees 
 
Tax fees for fiscal year 2008 were $4,500 and consisted of the preparation of the Company’s federal and state tax returns for the fiscal years 2007. Tax fees for fiscal year 2007 were $12,500 and consisted of the preparation of the Company’s federal and state tax returns for the fiscal year 2006.
 
All Other Fees 
 
There were no other fees billed by Kabani & Co. or services rendered to NetSol during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, other than as described above.
 
Pre-Approval Procedures 
 
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors and for approving, in advance, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee maintains a policy for the engagement of the independent auditors that is intended to maintain the independent auditor’s independence from NetSol. In adopting the policy, the Audit Committee considered the various services that the independent auditors have historically performed or may be needed to perform in the future. The policy, which is to be reviewed and re-adopted at least annually by the Audit Committee:

(i)
Approves the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of service (principally audit-related and tax), subject to restrictions in some cases, based on the Committee’s determination that this would not be likely to impair the independent auditors’ independence from NetSol;

(ii)
Requires that management obtain the specific prior approval of the Audit Committee for each engagement of the independent auditors to perform other types of permitted services; and,

(iii)
Prohibits the performance by the independent auditors of certain types of services due to the likelihood that their independence would be impaired.
 
Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chairman of the Committee in office at the time, or by any other Committee member to whom the Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditors to any member of management.
 
The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of an engagement of the independent auditors is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefore and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditors’ independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable professional standards. Relevant considerations include, but are not limited to, whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of NetSol’s financial statements; whether the independent auditors would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would enhance NetSol’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would increase efficiency because of their familiarity with NetSol’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable to the independent auditors in the period that is for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditors’ ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Board of Directors
NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries
Calabasas, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006. 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 conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, 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, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 22, the Company restated its financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

(“NTNA”), NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”), NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies, Ltd.(“NetSol PK”), NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (“Connect”), TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited (“NetSol-TIG”), and NetSol Omni (Private) Limited (“Omni”). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
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.

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.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 revenues recognized under the percentage of completion method. As the customer is billed under the terms of their contract, the corresponding 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.

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.

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.

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. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”) and The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” and Accounting Research Bulletin 45 (ARB 45) “Long-Term Construction Type Contracts.” The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:

License Revenue: The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibilty is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45 and SOP 81-1. 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. An output measure of “Unit of Work Completed” is used to determine the percentage of completion which measures the results achieved at a specific date. Units completed are certified by the Project Manager and EVP IT/ Operations.

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.

Unearned Revenue: Unearned Revenue is broken down into three main categories; a) annual maintenance contracts whereby the annual fee is collected at the beginning of the service period and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contract, b) service revenue connected to those contracts which the implementation and development segments are recognized on the percentage of completed method; and c) customized development projects for existing customers to modify their version of the product to better meet their individual needs which are recognized on the percentage of completion method. As of June 30, 2008, unearned revenues were $3,293,728.

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, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $781,709 and $643,081 and $593,811 respectively.

EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE - RESTATED: 
 
“Earnings per share” is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

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.

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 first quarter of fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

United States of America 
 
Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets may be recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future periods and for loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company established a full valuation allowance as management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future. The valuation allowance decreased by $5,513,447 for the year ended June 30, 2008 mainly due to reporting a deferred tax liability related to acquired intangibles and adjusting the Company's net operating losses. To the extent a benefit is realized from reducing the valuation allowance on acquired deferred income tax assets, the benefit will be credited to goodwill.

At June 30, 2008, federal and state net operating loss carry forwards were $22,223,241 and $4,983,979 respectively. Federal net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2020, while state net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2012. Due to both historical and recent changes in the capitalization structure of the Company, the utilization of net operating losses may be limited pursuant to section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The impact of the Company’s reassessment of its tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have an effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. As of June 30, 2008, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the federal and state jurisdictions for the years ending June 30, 2004 through 2007. The Company does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that the Company intends to permanently invest and upon which no deferred US income taxes have been provided is $20,107,651 as of June 30, 2008. The additional US income tax on unremitted foreign earnings, if repatriated, would be offset in part by foreign tax credits. The extent of this offset would depend on many factors, including the method of distribution, and specific earnings distributed.

Pakistan

As of June 30, 2008 the Company’s Pakistan subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards which can be carried forward for six years to offset future taxable income. The deferred tax assets for the Pakistan subsidiaries at June 30, 2008 consists mainly of net operating loss carry forwards and were fully reserved as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

The following table sets forth the significant components of the net deferred tax assets for operation in Pakistan as of June 30, 2008 and 2007.

As of June 30, 2008 the Company’s UK subsidiaries had net operating loss carry forwards which can be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income. The deferred tax assets for the UK subsidiaries at June 30, 2008 consists mainly of net operating loss carry forwards and were fully reserved as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

The following table sets forth the significant components of the net deferred tax assets for operation in the UK:

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 events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of reporting unit goodwill is evaluated based on a comparison of the reporting unit’s carrying value to the implied fair value of the reporting unit. Conditions that indicate that an impairment of goodwill exists include a sustained decrease in the market value of the reporting unit or an adverse change in business climate.

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 (see Note 17).

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:

2. The date that adoption is required
3. The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.

The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is currently in the process of evaluating the expected effect of FIN 48 on our results of operations and financial position.

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

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

Reclassifications:

For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.

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

The beneficial conversion feature expense was based on the net value of the loan after reducing the proceeds by the value of the warrants issued and was $2,208,334 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The common stock shares issued under this financing agreement, including warrants, were to be registered within 120 days after closing (or October 19, 2006). If the Company did not meet the registration requirement, the Company was to pay in cash as liquidated damages for such failure and not as a penalty to each Holder an amount equal to one percent (1%) of such Holder's Purchase Price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each thirty (30) day period until the applicable Event has been cured. The registration statement became effective on January 19, 2007. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company accrued $168,667 as liquidation damages due and has paid the full amount. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $12,223 in liquidation damages during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This amount is included in “Accrued Liabilities” as of June 30, 2008.

As part of the agreement, the investors received warrants to purchase 1,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 and expire in five years. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model at $2,108,335 and were capitalized as a contra-account against the note balance. These costs were being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan was converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $2,022,363 was amortized and recorded as “amortization of debt discount” for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The Black-Scholes pricing model used the following assumptions:

Under the agreement, any future financing whereby warrants are issued at an exercise price lower than the exercise price of the warrants in the agreement, an adjustment to the exercise price is to be made. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a financing was completed which included the issuance of warrants at an exercise price of $1.65. Following the formula set out in the agreement, it was determined that the adjusted exercise price was $1.93 per share. As a result, the Company revalued the warrants for the adjusted exercise price using the Black-Scholes model at $2,120,000 and recorded an expense of $11,667 for the repricing of the warrants during the year ended June 30, 2007. The Black-Scholes pricing model used the same assumptions as for the original valuation of the warrants.

In connection with this financing, the Company paid $474,500 in cash for placement agent fees and legal fees. These costs were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan is converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $454,729 of these costs were amortized and recorded as “amortization of capitalized cost of debt” during the year ended June 30, 2007.

As part of the financing, warrants to purchase 266,666 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the placement agent as part of its fee. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.65 and expire in two years. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model at $340,799 and were capitalized. These costs were being amortized over the life of the loan or a pro-rata basis as the loan was converted into common or preferred stock. As the loans were converted on October 30, 2006, the balance of $326,599 of these costs were amortized and recorded as “amortization of capitalized cost of debt” during the year ended June 30, 2007.

Options:

The company adopted SFAS No. 123-R effective July 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense recognized in the six months ended December 31, 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards vested during the six months ended December 31, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123-R.

During the year ended June 30, 2006, 3,848,413 options were granted to employees of the company and are fully vested and expire ten years from the date of grant unless the employee terminates employment, in which case the options expire within 30 days of their termination. The exercise price of these options ranges between $1.65 and $3.00. No expense was recorded for the granting of these options.

In compliance with FAS No. 148, the Company had elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation plan as defined by APB No. 25 and has made the applicable disclosures below.

Had the Company determined employee stock based compensation cost based on a fair value model at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS 123, the Company's net earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts for year ended June 30, 2006 as follows:

2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

In May 2008, the shareholders approved the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) which provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or performance share awards or any other right or interest relating to shares or cash, to eligible participants. The aggregate number of shares reserved and available for award under the 2008 Plan is 1,000,000 (the Share Reserve). The 2008 Plan contemplates the issuance of common stock upon exercise of options or other awards granted to eligible persons under the 2008 Plan. Shares issued under the 2008 Plan may be both authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company. Upon termination or expiration of an unexercised option, stock appreciation right or other stock-based award under the 2008 Plan, in whole or in part, the number of shares of common stock subject to such award again become available for grant under the 2008 Plan. Any shares of restricted stock forfeited as described below will become available for grant. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any one participant in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture.

a)
Stock Options.    Options granted under the 2008 Plan are not generally transferable and must be exercised within 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon termination of the option holder's employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's term. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (except in connection with the assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (a Ten Percent Shareholder) must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant and must not be exercisable for longer than five years.  Options become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the 2008 Plan is ten years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder must have a term not exceeding five years.
b)
Performance Awards.    Under the 2008 Plan, a participant may also be awarded a "performance award," which means that the participant may receive cash, stock or other awards contingent upon achieving performance goals established by the Committee. The Committee may also make "deferred share" awards, which entitle the participant to receive our stock in the future for services performed between the date of the award and the date the participant may receive the stock. The vesting of deferred share awards may be based on performance criteria and/or continued service with our Company. A participant who is granted a "stock appreciation right" under the Plan has the right to receive all or a percentage of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right minus the grant price of the stock appreciation right determined by the Committee (but in no event less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant). Finally, the Committee may make "restricted stock" awards under the 2008 Plan, which are subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines and as are set forth in the award agreement related to the restricted stock.

As of June 30, 2008, no options or other awards have been made under this plan.

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

NOTE 22 – RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
On November 5, 2008, the management of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, and a review of the pertinent facts, that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Company's annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 should not be relied upon due primarily to computational errors in connection with the allocation of appropriate amounts to minority interest in the statement of income (operations) and calculation of minority interest ownership.

Our management, in consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, has determined that the financial statements included therein overstated amount of our reported net income for the year ended June 30, 2008 and understatement of losses for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, by approximately $2,229,824, $897,396 and $201,063, respectively.

Below is a comparative presentation of the balance sheet and income statement as of and for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 as restated in this report and as reported in the Company’s Reports on Form 10KSB previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
