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. The areas requiring significant estimates are provision for doubtful accounts, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 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 September 30,December 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $6,768,138$8,463,863 and $11,564,343, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt approximate their fair values based on current interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

 

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:Valuations consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and has the highest priority.

Level 2:Valuations rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3:Valuations are based on prices or third party or internal valuation models that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and are less observable and thus have the lowest priority.

The Company’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,December 31, 2017, are as follows:

 

 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets  Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets 
Revenue in excess of billing - long term $-  $-  $5,225,260  $5,225,260  $-  $-  $6,668,854  $6,668,854 
Total $-  $-  $5,225,260  $5,225,260  $-  $-  $6,668,854  $6,668,854 

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, were as follows:

 

  Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total Assets 
Revenue in excess of billing - long term $-  $-  $5,173,538  $5,173,538 
Total $-  $-  $5,173,538  $5,173,538 

 

The reconciliation from June 30, 2017 to September 30,December 31, 2017 is as follows:

 

 Revenue in excess

 Total  Revenue in excess of billing - long term Fair value discount Total 
Balance at June 30, 2017 $5,483,869  $(310,331) $5,173,538  $5,483,869  $(310,331) $5,173,538

Balance at December 31, 2017 $6,953,248  $(284,394) $6,668,854 

 

The Company applied the discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value and used NetSol PK’s weighted average borrowing rate, which was 3.96%ranging from 3.93% to 4.43%.

 

Management analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480,“Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”and ASC 815,“Derivatives and Hedging.”Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which changes how deferred taxes are classified on the balance sheet and is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance simplifies accounting for share-based payments, most notably by requiring all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded as income tax benefits or expense in the income statement and by allowing entities to recognize forfeitures of awards when they occur. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and may be adopted prospectively or retroactively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Accounting Standards Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted by the Company:

 

In May 2014, the (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year, which will make it effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01), which requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases, which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, at the commencement date of each lease. This ASU requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments of this update should be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

(UNAUDITED)

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 will show restricted cash as part of cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

 

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.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as a modification. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard will be effective prospectively for the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11,“Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception”. The ASU was issued to address the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The ASU, among other things, eliminates the need to consider the effects of down round features when analyzing convertible debt, warrants and other financing instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption to have any significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants, and stock awards.

NOTE 17 – TAXES

U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act significantly revises the future ongoing U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U. S. corporate income tax rates and implementing a territorial tax system. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years.

There are also certain transitional impacts of the Tax Act. As part of the transition to the new territorial tax system, the Tax Act imposes a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the provisional undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were $22.8 million which the Company anticipates being able to offset fully with net operating loss carry forwards. In addition, the modified territorial tax system includes a new anti-deferral provision, referred to as global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), which subjects certain foreign income to current U.S. tax.

The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the above estimate, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries.

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. Under SAB 118, companies are able to record a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Reform Act if one is able to be determined and report it as a provisional amount during the measurement period. The measurement period is not to extend beyond one year from the enactment date. Impacts of the Tax Reform Act that a company is not able to make a reasonable estimate for should not be recorded until a reasonable estimate can be made during the measurement period.

We currently anticipate finalizing and recording any resulting adjustments by the end of our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

NOTE 18 – CONTINGENCIES

 

On April 7, 2017, Conister Bank Limited filed a complaint in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division, as claim no. HC-2017-001045 against our subsidiary, Virtual Lease Services Limited (“VLS”). The complaint alleges that VLS was in willful default of their agreements with Conister Bank Limited by failing to fulfill its obligations under the agreements with Conister. The complaint alleges damages in excess of £200,000 (approximately $266,667)$270,270). VLS has responded to the complaint and its expenses are currently covered by available insurance. VLS denies all claims and intends to vigorously defend the action.

 

NOTE 1819 – 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.

The restated financial statements for the periods affected were disclosed in Note 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the nine months ended March 31, 2017.

 

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 $120,976 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and an overstatement of maintenance revenue of $198,797 for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

 

The following tables present the restated financial statements for the quarterthree and six months ended September 30,December 31, 2016.

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.

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 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 AscentTM 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 Los Angeles Area
 Europe London Metropolitan area
 Asia Pacific Lahore, Karachi, Bangkok, Beijing, Jakarta and Sydney

The Company continues to maintain services, solutions and/or sales specific offices in the USA, England, Pakistan, Thailand, China, Indonesia 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 dollarmulti-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 Digital

 

NetSol launched NFS digital 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 digital includes mAccount, mPOS, mDealer, mAuditor, and Mobile Field Investigator (mFI).

 

LeasePak

 

In North America, NTA has and continues to develop the LeasePak CMS product. LeasePak streamlines the lease management lifecycle, enabling superior lease and loan portfolio management, flexible financial products (lease or loan terms) and sophisticated financial analysis and management to reducing operating costs and improve profits. 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 important partners in the asset-finance ecosystem, such as Vertex Series O.

 

LeasePak-SaaS

 

NTA also offers the LeasePak Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) business line, which provides high performance with a reduced total cost of ownership. SaaS offers a proven deployment option whereby customers only require access to the internet to use the software. With an elastic cloud price, revenue stream predictability and improved return on investment for customers, management believes that its SaaS customers will experience the performance, the reliability and the speed usually associated with a highly scalable private cloud. LeasePak-SaaS targets small and mid-sized leasing and finance companies.

 

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.

 

Highlights

 

Listed below are a few of NetSol’s major successes achieved in the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2017:

 

 We amended the 12 countyNFSAscent™ contract securing 7.7€7.7 million Euros (approximately $9.06$9.3 million) in future revenues in addition to what was previously projected from the customer. The revenue will be recognized over the contract term as the support services are performed.
 Pursuant to the 12 countryNFSAscent™ contract, we successfully implemented the Loan Origination System and the Wholesale Financial System in Thailand and Korea, respectively.
 Pursuant to the 12 countryNFSAscent™ contract, we delivered the first major release of NFS Ascent™ to China.

 

Page 2931

 

 

 An increase in software modification requests from some of our existing customers spread across the various regions contributed reasonably to the revenues for the quarter. A trend which is believed will be continued in the following quarters.
 We signed a chargeable proof of concept agreement with one of the oldest and largest banks in Australia. The proof of concept project will add to our revenues and assist us in making further progress in the selection process for our NFS Ascent™ product.
 Mizhou Balimore, a Japanese bank in Indonesia, went live with the first phase of its NFS Ascent™ digital solution.
 Our existing customer, an auto finance company of a leading bank in Indonesia, kicked off its leasing project. We believe that this is likely to help increase revenues in the following quarters of the current fiscal year. This kick off has further strengthened our relationship with this Indonesian business partner paving the way for further success in the market. Additionally, all the branches of the same business partner successfully went live with NFS Ascent™ during the first quarter of the current fiscal year culminating into a maturing and long-standing delivery commitment.
 NFS Ascent™ and Ascent Digital continue to generate interest across all major regions and industries as some significant new prospects have come through the pipeline, further strengthening projections and forecasts. Revenue willcould also be boosted as customization requests grow in addition to new business volume.

 

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.

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 1819 “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.

License fees

 

License fees for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2017 were $326,066$235,932 compared to $5,453,795$3,769,557 for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2016 reflecting a decrease of $5,127,729$3,533,625 with a change in constant currency of $5,127,729.$3,556,109. The decrease in license revenue for the fiscal three months ended September 30,December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily due to the decrease of license revenue recognized for the 12 country NFS Ascent™ contract. During the current quarter, we had license revenues through sales of our regional offerings in the U.S. and the U.K.

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 19 “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.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 5.63% and 10.77%, respectively, compared to the PKR. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro decreased 0.69% and 5.93%, respectively, compared to the PKR.

Non-controlling Interest

For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $1,215,814 and $1,560,878, respectively. The decrease in non-controlling interest is primarily due to the decrease in net income of NetSol Innovation.

Net Income / Loss attributable to NetSol

Net income was $264,923 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to a loss of $2,554,505 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. This is an increase of $2,819,428 with an increase of $2,851,849 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2017, net lossincome per share was $0.03$0.02 for basic and diluted shares compared to $0.04a loss of $0.24 for basic and diluted shares for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2016.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Page 40

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.

 

Page 34

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 six months ended September 30,December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

We are operating in various geographical regions of the world through itsour various subsidiaries. Those subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their short and long termlong-term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates as described in Note 14 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 September 30,December 31, 2017, we had approximately $8.55$10 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $6.77$8.46 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $14.17 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $11.56 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. We intend to permanently reinvest these funds outsideThe Tax Act, which was passed on December 22, 2017, imposes a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the U.S., and therefore, we do not anticipate repatriatingprovisional undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. operations. If funds fromof foreign operations are requiredsubsidiaries were $22.8 million which we anticipate being able 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.offset fully with net operating loss carry forwards.

 

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 termlong-term business plans. Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate needing $2 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.

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’smanagement��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.

 

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.

 

Page 37

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.

Page 44

 

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.

 

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.

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.

 

The material weakness relates to the lack of qualified Internal Audit resources dedicated to documenting and testing legacy accounting systems and Corporate functions.

 

The Company is in the process of remediating the material weakness, including, but not limited to, by continuing the implementation of a leading cloud-based global ERP system, as approved by the Company’s Board in fiscal year 2016, which is already live in certain locations, and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2018. Further, the Company engaged an internal audit consulting firm to advise and assist with the remediation and internal control improvements, including to assist with the expansion and training of the Company’s internal audit function, and to augment corporate oversight and internal audit coverage.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except for progress made in the remediation actions described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonablyreasonable 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)).
