NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile financing and leasing, banking, and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides system integration, consulting, and IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.

 

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:

 

Wholly owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies Americas, Inc. (“NTA”)
NetSol Connect (Private), Ltd. (“Connect”)
NetSol Technologies Australia Pty Ltd. (“Australia”)
NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”)
NTPK (Thailand) Co. Limited (“NTPK Thailand”)

NetSol Technologies (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (“NetSol Beijing”)

NetSol Technologies (GmbH) (“NTG”)

 

Majority-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies, Ltd. (“NetSol PK”)
NetSol Innovation (Private) Limited (“NetSol Innovation”)
NetSol Technologies Thailand Limited (“NetSol Thai”)

Virtual Lease Services Holdings Limited (“VLSH”)
Virtual Lease Services Limited (“VLS”)
Virtual Lease Services (Ireland) Limited (“VLSIL”)

 

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

 

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance. As of March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2016, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $6,786,368 and $7,640,095, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2017

(UNAUDITED)

 

The Company’s operations are carried out globally. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments of each country and by the general state of the country’s economy. The Company’s operations in each foreign country are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in economically developed nations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K.) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (E.U.), commonly referred to as “Brexit”. As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the U.K. and E.U. countries and perhaps increased regulatory complexities. These changes may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial results.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. It is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company maintains restricted cash balances and, upon adoption of this standard, the Company will show restricted cash as part of cash and restricted cash equivalents.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption to have any significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company will apply this guidance to applicable impairment tests after the adoption date.

NetSol PK, the subsidiary of the Company, purchased a 12.2% investment in eeGeo, for $2,777,778 which will be earned over future periods by providing IT and enterprise software solutions. Per the agreement, NetSol PK is to provide a minimum of $200,000 of services in each three-month period and the entire balance is required to be provided within three years of the date of the agreement. If NetSol PK fails to provide the future services, it may be required to forfeit the shares back to eeGeo. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, NetSol PK provided services valued at $286,449 and $836,070, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, NetSol PK paid $350,000 to eeGeo to buy out a portion of the services requirement. As of March 31, 2017, the accumulated balance of services provided was $1,000,864 which is recorded as investment.

 

In connection with the investment, the Company and NetSol PK received a warrant to purchase preferred stock of eeGeo which included the following key terms and features:

 

The warrants are exercisable into shares of the “Next Round Preferred”, only if and when the Next Round Preferred is issued by eeGeo in a “Qualified Financing”.
   
The warrants expire on March 2, 2020.
   
“Next Round Preferred” is defined as occurring if eeGeo’s preferred stock (or securities convertible into preferred stock) are issued in a Qualified Financing that occurs after March 2, 2016.
   
“Qualified Financing” is defined as financing with total proceeds of at least $2 million.
   
The total number of common stock shares to be issued is equal to $1,250,000 divided by the per share price of the Next Round Preferred.
   
The exercise price of the warrants is equal to the greater of

 

  a) 70% of the per share price of the Next Round Preferred sold in a Qualified Financing, or
     
  b) $25,000,000 divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (on a fully-diluted basis, excluding the number of common stock shares issuable upon the exercise of any given warrant).

NOTE 15 – CONTINGENCIES

 

As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of its current or former officers and/or directors, which have been consolidated under the caption Rand-Heart of New York, Inc. v. NetSol Technologies, Inc., et al. , Case No. 2:14-cv-05787 PA (SHx). Plaintiffs subsequently filed consolidated amended complaints, which asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the Company’s motions, the Court dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims except those related to the scope of the Company’s release of its next generation product, NFS Ascent™, during the narrow, proposed class period of October 24, 2013 to November 8, 2013. The Company filed an answer and affirmative defenses denying the remaining claims. On February 26, 2016, the parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement to fully resolve the consolidated class action lawsuit, and filed a motion seeking the Federal Court’s approval of the settlement. On March 28, 2016, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and providing for notice to class members. Following class notice and hearing, the Court issued an order granting the motion for final approval of the settlement and plan of allocation and motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and case expenses on July 1, 2016. The Court’s Judgment approving the settlement on the terms set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement was signed on July 2, 2016. The cost of the settlement was covered by the Company’s insurers.

 

On October 27, 2015, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the California state court entitled McArthur v Ghauri, et al. , Case No. BC599020 (Los Angeles, Cty.), naming current and former members of the Company’s board of directors as defendants. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties based on the same alleged factual premise as the pending federal securities class action described above. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only and no damages are sought from it. On March 16, 2016, the parties in the California lawsuit reached an agreement-in-principle providing for the settlement of that case. The proposed settlement is on the terms and conditions set forth in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”).

On December 30, 2015, a virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in Nevada state court, Paulovits v. Ghauri, et al. , Case No. CV15-02470 (Washoe Cty.). The Nevada complaint names the same defendants and is based on the same alleged facts as the earlier-filed California case. On April 29, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or stay the Nevada proceeding on multiple grounds, including that is it duplicative of the first-filed California action. On May 23, 2016, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Nevada court ordered that matter to be stayed for a period of one year.

 

On June 15, 2016, the parties in the California and the Nevada cases jointly executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement of Derivative Claims, which is intended to fully resolve both cases. Pursuant to the stipulation and subject to the court’s approval, the Company has agreed to adopt or maintain certain corporate governance measures, and has agreed to cause its insurers to pay plaintiff counsel’s fees and expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175,000. On June 16, 2016, the California plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the derivative settlement. The motion for approval of the settlement was continued by the California court until December 14, 2016. Effective January 9, 2017, the California Court issued a preliminary order approving the settlement. A final approval hearing was scheduled for April 6, 2017. At the April 6, 2017 hearing, the Court continued the hearing for at least 60 days. A hearing date has not yet been set.

 

NOTE 16 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

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

NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES

 

The current tax provision is based on taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing law for taxation of income. The charge for tax on income is calculated at the current rates of taxation as applicable after considering tax credit and tax rebates available, if any. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily because of more earnings realized in countries that have lower statutory tax rates. Our effective tax rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside the United States. Income from the export of computer software and its related services developed in Pakistan is exempt from tax up to 2019; however, tax at the applicable rates is charged to the income from revenue generated from other than core business activities.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $61,604 and $440,363, respectively resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.8% and 27.8%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded income tax provision of $106,209 and $454,707, respectively resulting in an effective tax rate of 8.4% and 14.4% respectively.

 

NOTE 19 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

During the preparation of the Company's Form 10-Q for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, misstatements were identified in the previous financial statements relating to the recording of revenue in the proper period. The Company determined that the Company's quarterly financial statements for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015, September 31, 2016 and December 31, 2016 should no longer be relied upon.

 

On August 31, 2015, the Company signed a consulting services agreement by which the Company would provide a model office at the customer’s data center which would include a base installation of the Company’s NFS Ascent product, along with certain agreed upon services. The Company received €1,800,000, approximately $2,024,000, as a non-refundable fee, which was received in two equal payments. The Company then entered into a 10-year contract with the same customer on December 21, 2015. The Company recorded the revenue for the model office in the periods that the cash was received. However, since the two contracts were with the same customer and signed within a short period of time, and both contracts stipulate an offset of payments made for services provided for the model office, the two contracts should have been combined and accounted for as a single contract. Revenue was recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-35 for this arrangement. As a result, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, license revenue was overstated by $591,119 and for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 license revenue was understated by $406,146.

 

On December 21, 2015, the Company signed a 10 year contract for a 12 country installation of its NFS Ascent product which included a perpetual license, continued maintenance on the existing product and then maintenance on NFS Ascent upon installation. The Company did not appropriately apply the percentage-of-completion method for this arrangement in accordance with ASC 605-35. As a result, for quarter ended September 30, 2016, license revenue was understated by $1,953,935 and for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, license revenue was overstated by $1,580,529.

 

The Company charges maintenance revenue on the license value plus any additional customization that the customer may require. For one customer, the Company did not increase the maintenance fee for the additional customization that was performed during the year. This resulted in an understatement of maintenance revenue of $88,888, $96,085, and $120,976 for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, December 31, 2015, and September 30, 2016, respectively. Maintenance revenue was overstated by $198,797 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company that is based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to its management. When used in this report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The Company’s realization of its business aims could be materially and adversely affected by any technical or other problems in, or difficulties with, planned funding and technologies, third party technologies which render the Company’s technologies obsolete, the unavailability of required third party technology licenses on commercially reasonable terms, the loss of key research and development personnel, the inability or failure to recruit and retain qualified research and development personnel, or the adoption of technology standards which are different from technologies around which the Company’s business ultimately is built. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

 

Business Overview

 

NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqCM: NTWK) is a worldwide provider of IT and enterprise software solutions. We believe that our solutions constitute mission critical applications for our clients as they encapsulate end-to-end business processes, facilitating faster processing and increased transactions.

 

The Company’s primary source of revenue is the licensing, customization, enhancement and maintenance of its suite of financial applications under the brand name NFS™ (NetSol Financial Suite) and NFS Ascent TM for leading businesses in the global lease and finance industry.

 

NetSol’s clients include Dow-Jones 30 Industrials and Fortune 500 manufacturers and financial institutions, global vehicle manufacturers, and enterprise technology providers, all of which are serviced by NetSol delivery locations around the globe.

 

Founded in 1997, NetSol is headquartered in Calabasas, California. While the Company follows a global strategy for sales and delivery of its portfolio of solutions and services, it continues to maintain regional offices in the following locations:

 

North America San Francisco Bay Area
Europe London Metropolitan area
Asia Pacific Lahore, Karachi, Bangkok, Beijing, Jakarta and Sydney

 

The Company maintains services, solutions and/or sales specific offices in the USA, England, Germany, Pakistan, Thailand, China and Australia.

 

NetSol’s offerings include its flagship global solution, NFS™. A robust suite of five software applications, it is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and financing cycle, starting from quotation origination through end of contract transactions. The five software applications under NFS™ have been designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and are capable of dealing with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual, multi-distributor and multi-manufacturer environments. Each application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing/financing cycle for any size company, including those with multi-billion dollar portfolios.

NFS Ascent™

 

NFS Ascent™ is the Company’s next-generation platform, offering a technologically advanced solution for the auto and equipment finance and leasing industry. NFS Ascent’s™ architecture and user interfaces were designed based on the Company’s collective experience with global Fortune 500 companies over the past 30 years. The platform’s framework allows auto captive and asset finance companies to rapidly transform legacy driven technology into a state-of-the-art IT and business process environment. At the core of the NFS Ascent™ platform is a lease accounting and contract processing engine, which allows for an array of interest calculation methods, as well as robust accounting of multibillion dollar lease portfolios under various generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as international financial reporting standards (IFRS). NFS Ascent™, with its distributed and clustered deployment across parallel application and high volume data servers, enables finance companies to process voluminous data in a hyper speed environment. NFS Ascent™ has been developed using the latest tools and technologies and its n-tier SOA architecture allows the system to greatly improve a myriad of areas including, but not limited to, scalability, performance, fault tolerance and security.

 

NFS Mobility

 

NetSol launched NFS mobility in 2014. It enables a sales force for the finance and leasing company across different channels such as point of sale, field investigation and auditing, and allows end customers to access their contract details through a self-service mobile application. NFS Mobility includes mAccount, mPOS, mDealer, mAuditor, and Mobile Field Investigator (mFI).

 

LeasePak

 

In North America, NTA has and continues to develop the LeasePak Productivity modules as an additional companion set of products to operate in conjunction with the LeasePak base system licensed software. LeasePak streamlines the lease management lifecycle, while maintaining customer service and reducing operating costs. It is web-enabled and can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users. It is scalable from a basic offering to a collection of highly specialized add on modules for systems, portfolios and accrual methods for virtually all sizes and varying complexity of operations. It is part of the vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors. It handles every aspect of the lease or loan lifecycle, including credit application origination, credit adjudication, pricing, documentation, booking, payments, customer service, collections, midterm adjustments, and end-of-term options and asset disposition. It is also integrated with Vertex Series O.

 

The LeasePak solution includes the LeasePak Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) business line, which provides an enhanced performance, while reducing the overall cost of ownership. SaaS offers a new deployment option whereby customers only require access to the internet and web browser to use the software. LeasePak-SaaS targets small and mid-sized leasing and finance companies.

 

NTA has updated the LeasePak’s technology set to .Net. The most recent upgrade includes faster performance, new features, improved security, and compatibility with the latest hardware. LeasePak.Net takes full advantage of the existing business functionality of LeasePak.

 

LeaseSoft

 

In addition to offering NFS Ascent™ to the European market, NTE has some regional offerings, including LeaseSoft and LoanSoft. LeaseSoft is a full lifecycle lease and finance system aimed predominantly at the UK funder market, including modules to support web portals and an electronic data interchange manager to facilitate integration between funders and introducers. LoanSoft is similar to LeaseSoft, but optimized for the consumer loan market.

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol’s financial position and results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. It should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included herein.

Highlights

 

Listed below are a few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in the nine months ended March 31, 2017:

 

The first implementation of our contract with a long-standing customer to upgrade to NFS Ascent™ in 11 countries and implement NFS Ascent™, in one new country, was recently completed in Australia and New Zealand. The first implementation phase continues in China, Korea, and South Africa.
   
Sold LeasePak license valued at $500,000 to Korean based automotive captive for their U.S. operations.
   
NetSol PK signed a collaboration agreement to provide technology services to eeGeo, an interactive 3D mapping company based in the United Kingdom. The eeGeo platform enables businesses to easily visualize complex data sets and location-based services in a 3D mobile experience. This agreement is progressing well as per joint agreements with NetSol and eeGeo.
   
Went live with a major implementation of our NFS legacy system with Tri Petch Isuzu Leasing in Thailand.
   
Went live with NFS legacy system in China.
   
A restructuring of the Company’s efficiencies, initiated in December 2016, is expected to result in approximately $4 million in savings spread over the next year.
   
Teamed up with Microsoft Pakistan to foster innovation, encourage entrepreneurship and provide senior mentorship to promising new start-ups as part of the NSPIRE program.
   
NetSol PK signed an agreement with Microsoft North Africa, East Mediterranean & Pakistan to further support the Pakistan technological start-ups.

 

Our success, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on the Company’s ability to continue to grow revenues and improve profits, adequately capitalize for growth in various markets and verticals, make progress in the North American and European markets and, continue to streamline sales and marketing efforts in every market we operate. However, management’s outlook for the continuing operations, which has been consolidated and has been streamlined, remains optimistic.

 

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

 

Positive trends:

 

Improving U.S. economy generally, and particularly in the auto and banking markets.
   
China to invest $55 billion in Pakistan on energy and infrastructure projects.
   
NFS legacy Solutions and Ascent’s largest auto finance market remains robust and resilient in China.
   
According to Business Insider, US auto manufactures hit a record 18.4 million units of new car sales in 2016 up from 17.5 million in 2015.
   
New emerging markets and IT destinations in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia.
   
According to a Bloomberg December 2016 report, China’s car sales have been on a 26-year Record Streak fueled by tax break to consumers.
   
According to a KPMG report, global car sales are rising and forecast to exceed 91 million by 2017.
   
Continued interest from multinational auto captives, global companies and existing clients in NetSol Ascent™.
   
As noted by Bloomberg, an improved economic environment, major foreign investment and improved security in Pakistan should restore business confidence and increase foreign travel.

 

Negative trends:

 

The disruption risk of geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and the global threat of terrorist attacks.
   
Restricted liquidity and financial burden due to tighter internal processes and limited budgets might cause delays in the receivables from some clients.
   
Uncertainty in European countries due to Brexit.
   
Continued concerns about absorbing refugees and associated security risks in Europe.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 16 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Regulation S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Commission Filings,” defines and prescribes the conditions for use of non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share meet the definition of a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

Page 46
 

 

We define the non-GAAP measures as follows:

 

EBITDA is GAAP net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
   
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA less stock-based compensation expense.
   
Adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share – Adjusted EBITDA allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average shares outstanding and diluted shares outstanding.

 

We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believe that presenting non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring our performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should be used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure in evaluating the Company.

 

The non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:

 

EBITDA : We report EBITDA as a non-GAAP metric by excluding the effect of net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization from net income or loss because doing so makes internal comparisons to our historical operating results more consistent. In addition, we believe providing an EBITDA calculation is a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Stock-based compensation expense : We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share calculations. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense which generally requires cash settlement by NetSol, and therefore is not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. We also believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.

 

Non-controlling interest : We add back the non-controlling interest in calculating gross adjusted EBITDA and then subtract out the income taxes, depreciation and amortization and net interest expense attributable to the non-controlling interest to arrive at a net adjusted EBITDA.

 

Our reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share to the most comparable GAAP measures for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our cash position was $8,450,115 at March 31, 2017, compared to $11,557,527 at June 30, 2016.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,018,592 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1,130,801 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, we had current assets of $47,196,113 and current liabilities of $17,168,622. We had accounts receivable of $14,716,584 at March 31, 2017 compared to $15,382,407 at June 30, 2016. We had revenues in excess of billings of $20,988,640 at March 31, 2017 compared to $11,297,264 at June 30, 2016. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, our revenues in excess of billings were reclassified to accounts receivable pursuant to billing requirements detailed in each contract. The combined totals for accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings increased by $9,025,553, from $26,679,671 at June 30, 2016, to $35,705,224 at March 31, 2017. The increase is due to recognition of revenue according to progress of contracts. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $7,404,181 and $5,650,475, respectively at March 31, 2017.

 

The average days sales outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were 165 and 165 days, respectively, for each period. The days sales outstanding have been calculated by taking into consideration the average combined balances of accounts receivable and revenue in excess of billings.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,110,932 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $3,290,538 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. We had purchases of property and equipment of $1,315,922 compared to $2,523,865 for the comparable period last fiscal year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company purchased a 2.5% interest in eeGeo, Inc. for $555,555 increasing its investment to 4.9%.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,104,321, compared to $1,408,254 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The nine months ended March 31, 2017 included the cash inflow of $785,479 from the exercising of stock options and warrants compared to $728,699 for the same period last year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we had net receipts from bank loans and capital leases of $1,233,122 compared to $597,880 for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. We are operating in various geographical regions of the world through its various subsidiaries. Those subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their short and long term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates as described in Note 12 of the financial statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, which may lead to early payment of these obligations. We anticipate paying back all these obligations on their respective due dates from its own sources.

 

We typically fund the cash requirements for our operations in the U.S. through our license, services, and maintenance agreements, intercompany charges for corporate services, and through the exercise of options and warrants. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $8.45 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $6.79 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $11.56 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $7.64 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. We intend to permanently reinvest these funds outside the U.S., and therefore, we do not anticipate repatriating undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. operations. If funds from foreign operations are required to fund U.S. operations in the future, and if U.S. tax has not previously been provided, we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.

 

We remain open to strategic relationships that would provide value added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving cash reserves internally and reduced reliance on external capital raise.

 

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 anticipate needing $3 million for APAC, U.S. and Europe new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements, which we expect to provide from current operations.

 

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 us, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market uncertainties. However, we are very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.

 

Financial Covenants

 

The Pakistani subsidiary, NetSol PK has an approved facility for export refinance from Askari Bank Limited amounting to Rupees 400 million or approximately $3.86 million which requires NetSol PK to maintain a long-term debt equity ratio of 60:40 and the current ratio of 1:1.

 

As of the date of this report, we are in compliance with the financial covenants associated with our borrowings. The maturity dates of the borrowings of respective subsidiaries may accelerate if they do not comply with these covenants. In case of any change in control in subsidiaries, they may have to repay their respective credit facilities.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition and multiple element arrangements, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company derives revenues from the following sources: (1) software licenses, (2) services, which include implementation and consulting services, and (3) maintenance, which includes post contract support.

 

Page 49
 

 

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. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon electronic transfer of the license key that provides immediate availability of the product to the purchaser. Determining whether and when some of these criteria have been satisfied often involves assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue the Company reports.

 

If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, then new software license revenue is generally recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed contract method. Contract accounting is applied to any arrangements: (1) that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software; (3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the software license contract without additional charge or are substantially discounted; or (4) where the software license payment is tied to the performance of consulting services.

 

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, typically one year.

 

Multiple Element Arrangements

 

The Company may enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a number of different combinations of software licenses, consulting services, maintenance and support, as well as training and development.

 

Vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for each element is based on the price for which the element is sold separately. The Company determines the VSOE of fair value of each element based on historical evidence of the Company’s stand-alone sales of these elements to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When VSOE of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which such VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. The only exception to this guidance is when the only undelivered element is maintenance and support or other services, then the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

 

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

 

Costs incurred to internally develop computer software products or to enhance an existing product are recorded as research and development costs and expensed when incurred 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.

 

Page 50
 

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Our stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option pricing model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including expected volatility and expected term. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model changes significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on historical experience and our expectations regarding future pre-vesting termination behavior of employees. To the extent our actual forfeiture rate is different from our estimate; stock-based compensation expense is adjusted accordingly.

 

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements and the impact of these pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks.

 

None.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

In connection with the restatement discussed in Note 19 - “Restatement of Previously Issued Interim Financial Statements” management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design operation of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017 and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management has the responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our external financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

Due to inherent limitations of any internal control system, management acknowledges that there are limitations as to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and therefore recognize that only reasonable assurance can be gained from any internal control system. Accordingly, our internal control system may not detect or prevent material misstatements in our financial statements and 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.

 

Under the supervision and participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017. This assessment was based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of our assessment, the Company has determined that as of March 31, 2017, there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

As of March 31, 2017, we did not maintain an effective control environment attributable to our interpretation of the revenue recognition criteria as it applied to the 10-year contract for a 12-country installation of our product. The weakness was related to when the timing of the revenue should have been realized.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f)).

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of its current or former officers and/or directors, which have been consolidated under the caption Rand-Heart of New York, Inc. v. NetSol Technologies, Inc., et al. , Case No. 2:14-cv-05787 PA (SHx). Plaintiffs subsequently filed consolidated amended complaints, which asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the Company’s motions, the Court dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims except those related to the scope of the Company’s release of its next generation product, NFS Ascent™, during the narrow, proposed class period of October 24, 2013 to November 8, 2013. The Company filed an answer and affirmative defenses denying the remaining claims. On February 26, 2016, the parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement to fully resolve the consolidated class action lawsuit, and filed a motion seeking the Federal Court’s approval of the settlement. On March 28, 2016, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and providing for notice to class members. Following class notice and hearing, the Court issued an order granting the motion for final approval of the settlement and plan of allocation and motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and case expenses on July 1, 2016. The Court’s Judgment approving the settlement on the terms set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement was signed on July 2, 2016. The cost of the settlement was covered by the Company’s insurers.

 

On October 27, 2015, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the California state court entitled McArthur v Ghauri, et al. , Case No. BC599020 (Los Angeles, Cty.), naming current and former members of the Company’s board of directors as defendants. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties based on the same alleged factual premise as the pending federal securities class action described above. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only and no damages are sought from it. On March 16, 2016, the parties in the California lawsuit reached an agreement-in-principle providing for the settlement of that case. The proposed settlement is on the terms and conditions set forth in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”).

 

On December 30, 2015, a virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in Nevada state court, Paulovits v. Ghauri, et al. , Case No. CV15-02470 (Washoe Cty.). The Nevada complaint names the same defendants and is based on the same alleged facts as the earlier-filed California case. On April 29, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss or stay the Nevada proceeding on multiple grounds, including that is it duplicative of the first-filed California action. On May 23, 2016, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Nevada court ordered that matter to be stayed for a period of one year.

 

On June 15, 2016, the parties in the California and the Nevada cases jointly executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement of Derivative Claims, which is intended to fully resolve both cases. Pursuant to the stipulation and subject to the court’s approval, the Company has agreed to adopt or maintain certain corporate governance measures, and has agreed to cause its insurers to pay plaintiff counsel’s fees and expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175,000. On June 16, 2016, the California plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the derivative settlement. The motion for approval of the settlement was continued by the California court until December 14, 2016. Effective January 9, 2017, the California Court issued a preliminary order approving the settlement. A final approval hearing was scheduled for April 6, 2017. At the April 6, 2017, hearing the Court continued the hearing for at least 60 days. A hearing date has not yet been set.
