NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held September 6, 2006
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Special Meeting of Stockholders, including any adjournments or postponements thereof, of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), will be held on September 6, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. local time at the offices of the Company located at 23901 Calabasas Road, Suite 2072, Calabasas, CA 91302 for the following purposes:
| 1. | To consider and vote upon a proposal, to approve the full issuance and exercise of: (i) shares of common stock underlying convertible notes; (ii) shares of common stock underlying shares of preferred stock; (iii) shares of common stock as a dividend payable or redemption under the terms of the preferred stock; (iv) and, shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants in full without any limitations on the number of shares to be issued, all issued as part of a financing in the amount of $5.5 million (the “Financing”). The financing, consisting of convertible notes, which are in an aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million and bear interest at the rate of 12%, were issued on June 15, 2006 and are due on June 15, 2007; |
| 2. | To consider and vote on the amendment of our articles of incorporation to permit the board of directors to designate the rights and privileges of the Company’s authorized preferred stock by resolution; and |
| 3. | To consider such other matters as may properly come before the Special Meeting. |
The proceeds of the Financing were used to fund the initial payment of the McCue Systems, Inc. acquisition; to fund the final cash portion of the payment to former CQ Systems, Ltd. shareholders as part of the acquisition of CQ Systems, Ltd. (now NetSol-CQ) by the Company; and, for working capital. The Company is not seeking approval of either the McCue Systems, Inc. or CQ Systems, Ltd. acquisition in this proxy. However, a detailed discussion of McCue Systems, Inc. and NetSol-CQ is contained in the proxy beginning on pages 42 and 60 respectively.
In connection with the Financing, we seek approval from the shareholders of an issuance of common stock which exceeds 20% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of May 5, 2006. Should stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes and preferred stock and exercise of the warrants not be obtained, the convertible notes would only be converted into and the exercise of warrants would only be permitted to the extent that such conversion and exercise would not, when aggregated with the McCue Systems, Inc. transaction, result in an issuance of 20% or more of the issued and outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares, of common stock as of May 5, 2006.
Only stockholders of record as shown on the books of the Company at the close of business on July 7, 2006, the record date and time fixed by the Board of Directors, will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof.

The purpose of the Special Meeting and the matters to be acted on there are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders.
The Special Meeting has been called for the purpose of the following:

These materials are expected to be first mailed to stockholders on or about August 7, 2006. The cost of making the solicitation includes the cost of preparing and mailing the Notice of Special Meeting, Proxy Statement, proxy card and the payment of charges made by brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding documents to stockholders. In certain instances, directors and officers of the Company may make special solicitations of proxies either in person, telephone or by mail.

Tail Wind Advisory & Management Ltd., a UK corporation authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority of Great Britain (“TWAM”), is the investment manager for The Tail Wind Fund Ltd., and David Crook is the CEO and controlling shareholder of TWAM.

In accordance with the Ownership Limitation, Tail Wind, based upon 16,169,982 shares of common stock outstanding, beneficially owns 2,500,001 shares of Common Stock and disclaims beneficial ownership of 899,173 shares of Common Stock.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director of executive officer holds a substantial interest, either directly or indirectly, in any matter to be acted upon.
VOTING AT THE MEETING
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July 7, 2006 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on the matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast on matters to be considered at the Special Meeting, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Special Meeting, it is deemed to be present for all other matters. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. "Broker nonvotes" are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Under applicable Nevada law, the effect of broker nonvotes on a particular matter depends on whether the matter is one as to which the broker or nominee has discretionary voting authority. Under applicable Nevada law, as it applies to the proposals presented to stockholders at this special meeting, Broker non-votes shall be treated as an abstention and such Broker non-votes shall be included in the total shares voted for the purpose of quorum requirements and determining whether a majority of stockholders have approved the transactions. A majority of votes in favor must be acquired in order for the proposals to be approved. Broker non-votes have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for proposal 1or proposal 2.
RETURNED PROXY CARDS WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
Proxies that are signed and returned will be voted in the manner instructed by a stockholder. If you sign and return your proxy card with no instructions, the proxy will be voted "For" with respect to the item set forth in the Proposal.
SHARES HELD IN “STREET NAME”
If your shares are held in “street name”, your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions provided by your broker.
CHANGING YOUR VOTE
You may revoke your proxy at any time before the proxy is voted at the Special Meeting. In order to do this, you must:
- send us written notice, stating your desire to revoke your proxy, or
- send us a signed proxy that bears a later date than the one you intend to revoke, or
- attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. In this case, you must notify the Inspector of Elections or Secretary of the Company that you intend to vote in person.
A list of those stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for a period of ten days prior to the Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder at the Company's principal executive offices, 23901 Calabasas Road, Suite 2072, Calabasas, CA 91302, and at the Special Meeting.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MATTERS SUBJECT TO VOTE
What is being voted on?
The issuance of shares of common stock of the Company upon the conversion notes, and upon the conversion of preferred stock into which the convertible notes may convert, to investors in the Financing; the issuance of shares of common stock as payment of dividends, at the Company’s discretion, and on redemption under the anticipated terms of the convertible preferred shares; and, to approve the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants in full without any limitations on the number of shares to be issued, issued to these same investors. Assuming the stockholders approve this proposal, the Company would be required to issue 5,500 shares of Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock which, upon issuance, would represent 100% of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company. The Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted, based on an initial conversion price, into approximately 3,333,333 shares of common stock, which, based on the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on July 6, 2006, when issued would represent 17.09% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Assuming the cumulative dividend is paid entirely in shares of common stock and that the preferred shares are converted within one year, the Company estimates that it could issue 251,249 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 1.27% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the company at July 6, 2006, to the investors in the Financing as payment of the 7% cumulative dividend. The Company has also issued warrants to the investors in the Financing to acquire up to 1,666,668 shares of common stock, representing, upon issuance and based on the issued and outstanding shares of common stock at July 6, 2006 and the issuance of the common stock into which the preferred stock is convertible, 7.87% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
The amendment of our articles of incorporation to permit the board of directors to designate the rights and privileges of the Company’s authorized preferred stock pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.1955.
Why are we seeking approval for the issuance of the shares of common stock?
As a result of being listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, issuances of our common stock are subject to the NASD Marketplace Rules, such as Rule 4350. For example, under rule 4350(i)(1)(D) stockholder approval must be sought when in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable into common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock.
The terms of the Financing provide anti-dilution protection to the investors which may result in common stock being issued to the investors at less than the market value of the stock on the Financing issuance date. Additionally, the common stock which would be issued if the Convertible Notes were to be converted into convertible preferred stock and such preferred stock was converted into common stock, dividends owed to the preferred stockholders were paid in common stock, the preferred stock were redeemed by the issuance of common stock and the warrants were exercised would constitute the issuance of more than 20% of the common stock issued and outstanding on the Financing date. Further the percentage of the Financing used to fund the purchase of McCue Systems, Inc. aggregated using Nasdaq rules with the shares of common stock issued to the McCue Systems, Inc. shareholders in the acquisition exceeds 20% of the issued and outstanding shares, excluding treasury stock, on the date in which we entered into the stock purchase agreement with the McCue Systems, Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, stockholder approval is required for the issuance of shares of common stock contemplated by the Financing. However, the Convertible Notes are due in one year and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Should stockholder approval of the common stock issuance not be obtained, we will pay the principal and interest on the note per their terms.
Why are we seeking to amend our articles of incorporation?
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5 million shares of preferred stock.
In a Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 20, 2002, the articles of incorporation were amended to permit the board of directors to designate by resolution the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the preferred stock.
In a Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 12, 2003, filed for the purpose of accomplishing a reverse stock split, the provision of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation providing such powers to the board of directors was inadvertently omitted.
We propose to amend the articles of incorporation to return these powers back to the board of directors thus permitting the board of directors to designate by resolution the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock contemplated to be issued if shareholder approval of proposal number one and two is acquired.

(Proposal No. One)
APPROVAL TO ISSUE THE AMOUNT OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF THE PREFERRED SHARES; AS DIVIDENDS OR REDEMPTION UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES; ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS.
The discussion in this proxy statement of the terms of the financing dated June 15, 2006, by and between the Company and the investors is contained in the stock purchase agreement, the convertible note, the warrant, the investor rights agreement and the certificate of designation (collectively referred to as the “Financing Documents”). A copy of the form of the Financing Documents is attached as Annex A-E to this proxy statement and is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference. To assist you with your understanding of the Financing’s affects on the Company, we have included, after the Description of the Financing, a discussion of NetSol’s business including but not limited to NetSol’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 and the quarter ended March 31, 2006, a discussion of McCue’s business and financial statements, including pro forma financial information and a discussion of NetSol-CQ’s business and financial statements, including pro forma financial information.
Introduction
The purpose of Proposal 1 is to obtain the stockholder approval necessary under applicable Nasdaq Stock Market rules to allow for the full issuance and exercise of: (i) shares of Common Stock underlying Convertible Notes; (ii) underlying shares of preferred stock; (iii) as dividends and/or redemption under the terms of the preferred shares; and, (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company to the investors in the Financing. In the event that stockholder approval of this proposal is not acquired, the investors in the Financing may convert that portion of the Convertible Note and exercise that portion of the Warrants that when issued will not result in a violation of NASD Marketplace rules. Additionally, if stockholder approval of this proposal is not acquired, the Company will pay the principal and interest due under the Convertible Notes according to its terms.
Description of the Financing
On June 15, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with 5 accredited investors whereby the Company issued 5 convertible notes for an aggregate principal value of $5,500,000. These notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and are due in full one year from the issuance date or on June 15, 2007 (the “Financing”). In connection with the Financing, the Company entered into the following documents: A Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”)(Attached to this proxy statement as Annex A), 12% Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”)(Attached to this proxy statement as Annex B), Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrants”)(Attached to this proxy statement as Annex C), Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA”)(Attached to this proxy statement as Annex D) and agreed to a form of 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”)(Attached to this proxy statement as Annex E).
The proceeds of the Financing are being used by the Company to: (i) pay the initial cash consideration due to McCue shareholders as part of the acquisition of McCue Systems, Inc. by the Company; (ii) pay the final cash consideration due to former CQ Systems Inc. shareholders as part of the acquisition of CQ Systems, Ltd. (now NetSol-CQ); and, (iii) as working capital. The initial cash consideration due to McCue shareholders is $2,117,864 and represents 38.51% of the total proceeds raised. The final cash consideration due to former CQ Systems, Inc. shareholders is £1,064,369 (which represents $1,936,200.17 at the exchange rate of British pounds sterling into U.S. Dollars at June 28, 2006). The CQ payment represents 35.20% of the total funds raised in the Financing. The remaining funds are being used to pay fees due under the terms of the Financing and as working capital.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, each purchaser received a Convertible Note in the amount of their investment and a Warrant in an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate principal value of the Notes divided by the conversion value (currently $1.65 per share). Based on an aggregate principal value of $5,500,000, the investors were entitled to Warrants to acquire up to 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price per warrant of $2.00. The Warrants may be exercised at any time, to the extent that such conversion does not violate Nasdaq Market Place rules, and in full at such time after our stockholders approve the issuance of shares underlying such warrants until five years from the issuance date of the warrants, or June 15, 2011.
The Convertible Notes may immediately convert into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion value (initially set at one share per $1.65 of principal dollar) to the extent that such conversion does not violate Nasdaq Market Place rules. To date, no shares of common stock have been issued to the investors in the Financing. Also, under the terms of the Financing, the Convertible Notes will convert into shares of Preferred Stock upon the approval of this proposal by the stockholders.
The Preferred Stock (which certificate of designation is attached to Annex E and which will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State only upon approval of the Proposals set forth in this Proxy) are convertible into shares of common stock at such time and at such value as is set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The initial conversion value shall be $1.65. The conversion value is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 7% per annum from the date of issuance of each share of preferred stock until paid. The dividends may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or in shares of common stock in arrears on the first business day of each calendar quarter of each year. The Company may force a conversion of the Preferred Stock in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than 200% of the conversion value. If any shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding on June 15, 2009, the Company shall redeem such shares for an amount in cash equal to the liquidation preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Anti-dilution protection is afforded to the holders by providing for an adjustment of the conversion price in certain circumstances. The conversion price is adjusted for dividends subdivisions, combinations, distributions and issuances of shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of the Company issued at an effective Per Share Selling Price which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Conversion Value, then in each such case the Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Value then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Conversion Value, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Preferred Stock bears voting rights in an amount equal to the conversion value of the preferred stock into common stock, without giving effect to any anti-dilution provisions of the Preferred Stock. Conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to beneficial ownership caps of from 4.9% to 9.9% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.
The IRA requires the Company to register, on a registration statement to be filed with the SEC within 8 business days of the special shareholders’ meeting, such number of shares of common stock into which the Preferred Stock is convertible, such number of shares of that represent 150% of the shares of common stock for issuance upon the conversion of the preferred stock or notes, as the case may be and 100% of the shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of the warrants.
Description of Securities
The Convertible Notes may convert into our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. We only have one class of common stock. Our capital stock consists of 45,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at annual or special stockholders meetings.
The Convertible Notes will convert into the Preferred Stock following stockholder approval. No shares of preferred stock have been issued. We are seeking your approval to amend the articles of incorporation to permit the board of directors to designate the rights and privileges of the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock (which certificate of designation is attached to Annex E and which will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State only upon approval of the proposals set forth in this Proxy) are convertible into shares of common stock at such time and at such value as is set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The initial conversion value shall be $1.65. The conversion value is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 7% per annum from the date of issuance of each share until paid. The dividends may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or in shares of common stock in arrears on the first business day of each calendar quarter of each year. The Company may force a conversion of the Preferred Stock in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than 200% of the conversion value. If any shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding on June 15, 2009, the Company shall redeem such shares for an amount in cash equal to the liquidation preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Anti-dilution protection is afforded to the holders by providing for an adjustment of the conversion price in certain circumstances. The conversion price is adjusted for dividends subdivisions, combinations, distributions and issuances of shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of the Company issued at an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock as traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market the Trading Day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Conversion Value, then in each such case the Conversion Value in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Value then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Conversion Value, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Preferred Stock bears voting rights in an amount equal to the conversion value of the preferred stock into common stock, without giving effect to any anti-dilution provisions of the Preferred Stock. Conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to beneficial ownership caps of from 4.9% to 9.9% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding.
The terms of the warrant agreements permit exercise for a period of five years and contain standard weighted average anti-dilution protections. The anti-dilution protections contained in the warrant mirror those provided in the Preferred Stock.
On May 6, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of McCue Systems, Inc., a California corporation located at 111 Anza Blvd., Suite 310, Burlingame, California 94010; telephone number is (650) 348-0650.

With common customers and common goals, we believe the acquisition of McCue provides a complimentary North American presence to our global offering of software and services to the lease and finance industry.
The stock purchase agreement was filed as part of our current report on form 8-K filed on May 9, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, as consideration for the shares of McCue Systems, Inc., we shall pay the following:
(a) an amount equal to 50% of McCue’s total revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005, after an adjustment, if necessary, for any revenue occurring outside McCue’s ordinary scope of operations, multiplied by 1.5 of which 50% shall be paid in shares of restricted common stock of NetSol at the 30 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for each of the 30 trading days prior to the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement or at the VWAP for each of the 30 trading days prior to November 30, 2005 whichever is greater. VWAP shall be calculated by taking the closing price of NetSol’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market under the symbol NTWK (“NetSol Shares”) for each of the 30 trading days used in the VWAP calculation multiplied by the daily volume for each of the 30 trading days used in the VWAP calculation, the product of the preceding calculation is divided by 30 and then divided by the average of the daily volume for each of the 30 trading days used in the VWAP calculation and 50% payable in U.S. Dollars payable at Closing;
(b) an amount equal to 25% of McCue’s total revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 after an adjustment for Extraordinary Revenue multiplied by 1.5 of which 50% is payable in cash and 50% is payable in shares of restricted common stock of NetSol payable by June 30, 2007; and,
(c) an amount equal to 25% of McCue’s total revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 after an adjustment for Extraordinary Revenue multiplied by 1.5 of which 50% is payable in cash and 50% is payable in shares of restricted common stock of NetSol payable by June 30, 2008.
Under no circumstances shall the total number of shares of common stock issued to the McCue Shareholders or to others as part of the cash portion of the consideration exceed 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, less treasury shares, of the Company at May 6, 2006.
McCue’s total revenues for December 31, 2005 were $5,647,637. Multiplying that total by the multiple of 1.5 results in total consideration of $8,471,456 of which 50% was paid at closing on June 30, 2006, or $4,235,728. Of this consideration, $2,117,864 is payable in cash and $2,117,864 is payable in restricted shares of common stock of the Company. The price per share was determined based on the VWAP calculations set forth above to be $2.21 per share, resulting in a total of 958,213.5 shares being due at closing.
The next payment is due on June 30, 2007 and is based on the McCue revenue for the year ending December 31, 2006. The final payment is due on June 30, 2008 and is based on the McCue revenue for the year ending December 31, 2007. Assuming that the revenues remain constant over the next two years, the Company would issue as consideration an additional 958,213.5 shares for a total shares issuance of 1,916,427. While the number of shares issuable to McCue may increase or decrease over the pay-out schedule, the stock purchase agreement contains a provision which prohibits the issuance of any shares in excess of 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares as of May 5, 2006. Excess consideration will be paid in cash.
As of May 5, 2006, there were 15,148,292 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding, less treasury shares. Accordingly, the current calculation of shares to be issued to McCue shareholders constitute 12.65% of the issued and outstanding shares at that date.
In accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market rules, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company: (i) in the McCue transaction and (ii) upon conversion of that portion of the Financing attributable to the McCue transaction (collectively, the “Aggregated Shares”), shall not exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 5, 2006 (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of that number of Aggregated Shares that would result in the issuance of an amount in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance (the “Overage Amount”) shall first be approved by the Company’s stockholders.
The CQ Systems Ltd. Acquisition
On January 19, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CQ Systems Ltd., a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“CQ”), now NetSolCQ Ltd. (the “CQ SPA”). Established in 1986 as CQ Systems Ltd., and now part of the NetSol Technologies, Inc. group, NetSolCQ provides software and services to the financial services industry. NetSolCQ is a provider of software solutions to the asset, motor, consumer, wholesale and premium finance sectors with 75 banking, independent and captive finance house clients in the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia.
According to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CQ from CQ’s former shareholders, whose identity is set forth in the CQ SPA (the “CQ Shareholders”) at the completion date in exchange for a purchase price consisting of: a) 50.1% of CQ’s total gross revenue for the twelve month period ending 31st of March, 2005 after an adjustment for any extraordinary revenue, i.e. non-trading revenue (“LTM Revenue”) multiplied by 1.3 payable: (i) 50% in shares of restricted common stock of the Company at a per share cost basis of $2.313 and as adjusted by the exchange rate of U.S. Dollar to British Pound (at the spot rate for the purchase of sterling with U.S. dollars certified by NatWest Bank plc as prevailing at or about 11:00 a.m.) on January 19, 2005 and, (ii) 50% in cash; and b) 49.9% of CQ’s LTM Revenue for the period ending 31st March 2006 multiplied by 1.3 payable, at the Company’s discretion: (i) wholly in cash; or (ii) on the same basis and on the same terms as the initial payment provided, however that the cost basis of the Company’s common stock shall be based on the 20 day volume weighted average of the Company’s shares of common stock as traded on NASDAQ 20 days prior to March 31, 2006 and, provided that under no circumstances shall the total number of shares of common stock issued to the CQ Shareholders exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, less treasury shares, of the Company at January 19, 2005. It was the intention of the Company, when executing the CQ SPA to pay the cash portion of the consideration by incurring short term debt. Short term debt was used to finance the initial cash payment. When the final cash consideration was due in June 2006, approximately 15 months after the initial closing, the Company determined that the terms of the Convertible Notes were better terms to finance the final cash payment.
The acquisition closed on February 21, 2005 based on March 31, 2004 financial statements of CQ Systems Ltd. with the payment of approximately $1.7 million in cash and 675,292 shares of Company common stock based on a $2.46 per share cost basis. The final share consideration of 884,536 shares of common stock of NetSol were issued on June 2, 2006. The final cash consideration due to former CQ Systems, Inc. shareholders was £1,064,369 (which represents $1,966,954 at the exchange rate of $1.848). The CQ payment represents 35.20% of the total funds raised in the Financing.
With common customers and common goals, we believe the acquisition of CQ Systems has provided a complimentary European presence to our global offering of software and services to the lease and finance industry.
The CQ SPA and related financial information was filed as part of our current report and amendments thereto on form 8-K filed on October 3, 2005 and January 25, 2005.
Nasdaq Listing Requirements and the Necessity of Stockholder Approval
The terms of the Financing provide anti-dilution protection to the investors which may result common stock being issued to the investors at less than the market value of the stock on the Financing issuance date. Additionally, the common stock which would be issued if the Convertible Notes were to be converted into the Preferred Stock and the Preferred Stock was converted into common stock, dividends owed to the preferred stockholders were paid in common stock, the preferred stock were redeemed by the issuance of common stock and the Warrants were exercised would constitute the issuance of more than 20% of the common stock issued and outstanding on the Financing date. Further the percentage of the Financing used to fund the purchase of McCue Systems, Inc. aggregated using Nasdaq rules with the shares of common stock issued to the McCue Systems, Inc. shareholders in the acquisition exceeds 20% of the issued and outstanding shares, excluding treasury stock, on the date in which we entered into the stock purchase agreement with the McCue Systems, Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, stockholder approval is required for the issuance of shares of common stock contemplated by the Financing. However, the Convertible Notes are due in one year and bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Should stockholder approval of the common stock issuance not be obtained, we will pay the principal and interest on the note per their terms.
As of May 5, 2006, there were 15,148,292 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding, less treasury shares. Accordingly, the current estimate of the number of shares to be issued to McCue shareholders constitutes 12.65% of the issued and outstanding shares at May 5, 2006.
Approximately 38.51% of the funds raised in the Financing, specifically $2,117,864, are being used to pay the initial cash portion of the McCue acquisition. The notes are convertible into preferred shares which convert into common stock at the per share price of $1.65 per share. The certificate of designation of the Preferred Stock provides a 7% dividend. If the entire cash portion of the McCue acquisition were to be converted into common stock, the number of shares being issued at $1.65 per share would be equal to 1,283,554 shares. As part of the financing, warrants to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share were issued. 38.51% of the warrants could be exercised to acquire 641,833 shares of common stock. Assuming that the stockholders approval of the common stock related to the Convertible Notes, we would issue approximately 3,841,814 shares of common stock related to the McCue acquisition. This number represents 25.36% of the issued and outstanding shares, less treasury stock, as of May 5, 2006. Assuming that the Nasdaq Stock Market Staff will aggregate the shares of common stock to be issued to former McCue Systems, Inc. shareholders together with the common stock to be issued upon conversion of that portion of the Convertible Notes and Warrants attributable to the McCue transaction, (a total potential of 3,841,814) as having been issued as part of the same transaction, such amount is in excess of 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on May 5, 2006.
We are also assuming that the Nasdaq Staff shall further take the position that, as a result of the weighted average anti-dilution protection afforded to the investors under the Financing, there is a potential that shares of common stock into which the Convertible Notes could convert and the Warrants could be exercised could be issued at less than the market value of the Common Stock on June 15, 2006 and, therefore, the Nasdaq 20% Financing Rule is implicated.
The Company’s stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance to the investors in the Financing of the allow for the full issuance and exercise of: (i) shares of Common Stock underlying Convertible Notes; (ii) of shares of common stock underlying shares of Preferred Stock; (iii) as dividends and/or redemption under the terms of the Preferred Stock; and, (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company to the investors in the Financing.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is necessary for approval of the issuance of: (i) shares of Common Stock underlying Convertible Notes; (ii) shares of Common Stock underlying shares of Preferred Stock; (iii) as dividends and/or redemption under the terms of the preferred shares; and, (iv) upon exercise of the Warrants issued by the Company to the investors in the Financing.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF THE PREFERRED SHARES; AS DIVIDENDS OR REDEMPTION UNDER THE TERMS OF THE PREFERRED SHARES; AND, ON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS.

INTRODUCTION
NetSol is an end-to-end information technology (“IT”) and business consulting services provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services sectors. We operate on a global basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, East Asia and Asia Pacific. We help our clients identify, evaluate, and implement technology solutions to meet their most critical business challenges and maximize their bottom line. Our products include sophisticated software applications for the asset-based lease and financial institutions. By utilizing our worldwide resources, we believe we are able to deliver high quality, cost-effective IT services, ranging from consulting and application development to systems integration and outsourcing. We have achieved the ISO 9001 and SEI (Software Engineering Institute) Capable Maturity Model (“CMM”) Level 4 certifications in 2005 and CMMi Level 5 was achieved in August 2006. Additionally, through our Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) Backbone, located in Karachi, Pakistan, we offer a package of wireless broadband services, which include high-speed Internet access, support and maintenance.
Our subsidiary, NetSol Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a Pakistan Limited Company, (“NetSol PK”), develops the majority of our software. NetSol PK was the first company in Pakistan to achieve the ISO 9001 and SEI CMM Level 4 software development assessment. As maintained by the SEI, maturity levels measure the maturity of a software company’s methodology that in turn ensures enhanced product quality resulting in faster project turn-a-round and a shortened time to market. In August 2005, NetSol PK completed a listing of its shares on the Karachi Stock Exchange.
During recent years, we have focused on developing software applications for the leasing and financial service sectors. In late 2002, we launched a suite of software products under the name LeaseSoft. The LeaseSoft suite is comprised of four major integrated asset-based leasing/financing software applications. The suite, consisting of a Credit Application Creation System (LeaseSoft.CAC), a Credit Application Processing System (LeaseSoft.CAP), a Contract Activation & Management System (LeaseSoft.CAM) and a Wholesale Finance System (LeaseSoft.WFS), whether used alone or together, provides the user with an opportunity to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle from the credit approval process through the tracking of the finance contract and asset.
In February 2005, we acquired 100% of CQ Systems Ltd., an IT products and service company based in the UK. As a result of this acquisition, we have access to a broad European customer base using IT solutions complementary to NetSol’s LeaseSoft product. We plan to leverage CQ Systems’ knowledge base and strong presence in the Asset Finance market to launch LeaseSoft in the UK and continental Europe. CQ’s strong sales and marketing capability would further help us gain immediate recognition and positioning for the LeaseSoft suite of products. CQ provides sophisticated accounting and administrative software, along with associated services, to leasing and finance companies located in Europe, Asia and Africa. The products include software modules for asset finance, consumer finance, motor finance, general finance and insurance premium finance. The modules provide an end-to-end contractual solution - from underwriting, contract administration and accounting, through asset disposal and remarketing. Customers include notable European companies such as Scania Finance GB, DaimlerChrysler Services, Broadcastle PLC, Bank of Scotland Equipment Finance and Deutsche Leasing Ltd.
Together with this focus on providing an outsourcing, off-shore solution to existing and new customers, NetSol has also adopted a dynamic growth strategy through aggressive acquisitions. In October 2005, NetSol-CQ as a combined company launched an aggressive marketing campaign under the banner of LeaseSoft for the European market. Just recently NetSol-CQ signed a multi million dollar new contract with a major banking institution in London.

Management has set the following new goals for NetSol’s next 12 months.

Management believes that NetSol is in a position to derive higher productivity based on current capital employed.
Management continues to be focused on building its delivery capability and has achieved key milestones in that respect. Key projects are being delivered on time and on budget, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal processes. Management believes that further leverage was provided by the development ‘engine’ of NetSol, which became CMM Level 2 in early 2002. In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol reached CMM Level 3 assessment in July 2003. According to the website of SEI of Carnegie Mellon University, USA, only a few software companies in the world have announced their assessment of level 3. As a result of achieving CMM level 4, NetSol is experiencing a growing demand for its products and alliances from blue chip companies worldwide. NetSol is now aiming for CMM level 5, the highest CMM level in the next year. NetSol plans to further enhance its capabilities by creating similar development engines in other Southeast Asian countries with CMM levels quality standards. This would make NetSol much more competitive in the industry and provide the capabilities for development in multiple locations. Increases in the number of development locations with these CMM levels of quality standards will provide customers with options and flexibility based on costs and broader access to skills and technology.
MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
NetSol has identified the following material trends affecting the Company.
Positive trends:
| · | Continued positive EBITDA trends of NetSol attracting funds and institutions globally. |
| · | Outsourcing of services and software development is growing worldwide. |
| · | The Global IT budgets are estimated to exceed $1.2 trillion in 2004 and beyond, according to the internal estimates of Intel Corporation. About 50% of this IT budget would be consumed in the US market alone primarily on the people and processes. |
| · | Cost arbitrage, labor costs still very competitive and attractive when compared with India. |
| · | Regional stability and improving political environment between Pakistan and India. |
| · | Economic turnaround in Pakistan including: a steady increase in gross domestic product; much stronger dollar reserves, which is at an all time high of over $13 billion; stabilizing reforms of government and financial institutions; improved credit ratings in the western markets, and elimination of corruption at the highest level. |
| · | Stronger ties between the US and Pakistan creating new investment and trade opportunities. |
| · | Robust growth in outsourcing globally and investment of major US and European corporations in the developing countries. |
| · | Chinese economic boom leading to new market opportunities. |
| · | Improved perception of Pakistan economy in the western media casting positive impact on NetSol future outlook. |
Negative trends:
| · | Continued political and geographical conflicts in the Middle East and South-East Asia are creating challenging times for economic development. In addition, the existence of religious, extremism, and radical elements are causing tensions in the region. |
| · | The disturbance in Middle East and rising terrorist activities post 9/11 worldwide have resulted in issuance of travel advisory in some of the most opportunistic markets. In addition, travel restrictions and new immigration laws provide delays and limitations on business travel. |
| · | The devastating earthquake in northern parts of Pakistan may slow growth for local business in the short run. |
| · | Skyrocketing oil prices caused by the unfortunate hurricanes, tensions in the Middle East and Iran, and the surge in global demand for oil could affect the US and global economy. |

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. Management believes our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where our financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include our evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether these assets are likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.
INCOME TAXES
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. During fiscal year 2005-2006, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.

This reflects an increase of $1,854,909 or 58.13% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase is attributable to new orders of licenses, an increase in services business, the integration of the revenues contributed by the subsidiary CQ Systems in UK acquired February 2005, the growing outsourcing business of NetSol-TiG (JV) and additional maintenance work. The Company’s biggest revenue growth was achieved in the two UK operations and the new joint-venture with TiG, which generated sales both domestically and internationally. The Company experienced a modest increase in domestic business in Pakistan as the country began recovering from the earthquake on October 8, 2005. The demand for the Company’s IT services in Asia Pacific and Europe is consistent and solid.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the parent company managed several projects with Seattle based Capital Stream generating modest revenues. The projects call for outsourcing of software development services taking advantage of our off-shore development facility in Lahore. In addition, in February 2006, the Parent company signed a master consulting agreement with McCue Systems, Inc. (“McCue”), a California corporation to assist in customer implementations, quality assurance and off-shore software development. To date, no revenues have been generated from this agreement as the programmers are in the process of becoming familiar with McCue’s LeasePak system.
NetSol made a significant move by acquiring 100% of a UK based software company, CQ Systems Ltd., in February 2005. The acquisition of CQ Systems has provided NetSol a very strong and seasoned management team with a mature, profitable, business. The acquisition of CQ Systems provided tremendous new business opportunities for NetSol in the European markets. We have experienced a seamless integration at every level of both companies. In November 2005, we launched the combined company as NetSol-CQ and the LeaseSoft brand in European market. Just recently NetSol-CQ signed off a multi-million dollar LeaseSoft agreement with a major financial institution. Due to confidentiality agreement with our new client we are not able to disclose the name of the client.
NetSol has been actively pursuing a few target companies in USA and in Europe for acquisitions. A lot of effort has been made in pursuing the US based IT products based company, McCue Systems, Inc., in Burlingame, California. With both external and internal due diligence and with the assistance of our management and our mergers and acquisitions professionals, Maxim Group, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of McCue Systems. This agreement was signed May 6, 2006. The company expects to complete the transaction by June 30, 2006. This acquisition would effectively launch NetSol in the US leasing and finance markets and will provide a solid footprint in North America. This will be all accretive revenue for NetSol that will be reported and consolidated from July 2006. The company will continue to explore new M&A opportunities that are synergistic and grow our business exponentially and accretively.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our Asia Pacific region signed off new implementations of LeaseSoft at ORIX Leasing Singapore, a new implementation of LeaseSoft at Daimler Chrysler Auto Finance, China, Mercedes - Benz Finance Co, Japan and in Daimler Chrysler Leasing Thailand. In addition, NetSol completed several implementations of LeaseSoft with our major customers in Asia Pacific markets. NetSolCQ signed a new contract with a large banking institution in the UK that was valued at over $1 million. The UK operations since the acquisition of CQ Systems in 2005, continues to enhance market penetration in UK markets and generate new business. As a result, several new customers were signed up as the awareness and brand acceptance of NetSolCQ as combined company gains momentum.
Our majority owned subsidiary, NetSol Technologies Ltd., in Lahore has experienced major new business development activities in both the Pakistani public and private sectors. While we have signed several new contracts in the public sector, these agreements are confidential and are not allowed to be disclosed as these contracts involve some sensitive IT solutions and project managements within the government ministries. NetSol sees a very robust and high volume new business environment in Pakistan as the economy continues to grow over 8% each year. NetSol is an extremely enviable position to leverage from its name and reputation.
NetSol’s Global Frame Agreement signed in early 2005 with DaimlerChrysler Services (“DCS”) qualifies NetSol as a preferred vendor to DCS in 40 plus countries where DCS operates. As a direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems with DaimlerChrysler and the signing of the global frame agreement, we are noticing a significant increase in demand for LeaseSoft. Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a 100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe, North America and Pakistan. In fiscal year 2005, NetSol raised the pricing of its LeaseSoft licenses significantly due primarily to a surge in demand. In spring of 2005, one complete system was sold to Toyota Leasing Thailand (“TLT”) for nearly $2.3 million that includes over $1.2 million for license fees.
A number of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell several new licenses in fiscal year 2006-2007 that could potentially increase the sales and bottom line. As the Company continues to sell more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices of these products vary from $300,000 to an excess of $1,000,000 with additional charges for customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year.
The gross profit was $2,727,298 in the quarter ending March 31, 2006 as compared with $1,848,702 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of $878,596. The gross profit percentage decreased slightly to approximately 54% in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to approximately 58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This is mainly due to the increase in direct costs of hiring new technology personnel as the Company gears up for the increased demand in its products and services. Our main technology campus in Lahore hired over 90 new developers and programmers in the last four months. In comparison to the prior quarter ended December 31, 2005, the cost of sales increased approximately $341,495, revenues increased $521,454, and an overall increase of 3% in gross profit.
Operating expenses were $2,458,199 for the quarter ending March 31, 2006 as compared to $1,632,525, for the corresponding period last year. The increase is mainly attributable to increased selling and marketing activities, additional employees and an increase in overall activities due to our increased marketing efforts. Also contributing to the higher costs was the full integration of CQ Systems and the joint-venture NetSol-TiG. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $594,385 and $384,649 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and, 2005, respectively, reflecting the intangible assets purchased from the CQ Systems acquisition in February 2005, the addition of the new building in Lahore in the prior year and new computer equipment purchased to gear up for the increased demand in our products and services. Combined salaries and wages costs were $597,636 and $453,226 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $144,410 from the corresponding period last year. Salaries, as a percentage of sales, were 12% for the current quarter as compared to 14% in the prior period. The addition of the subsidiary, CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG, as well as an increase in development, sales and administration employees resulted in the increase.
Selling and marketing expenses were $444,472 and $219,399, in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $225,073 reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company, including the launch of NetSol-CQ as a combined entity to the European market. Advertising expense was $144,163 for the current quarter. The Company is in a growth phase and is increasing its overall sales and marketing activities. Sales and marketing was 9% of sales for the current quarter as compared to 7% in the corresponding period last year. The Company wrote-off as uncollectible bad debts of $19,561 in the current quarter compared to $0 for the comparable prior period in the prior year. Professional services expense increased slightly to $126,806 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, from $112,830 in the corresponding period last year.
Income from operations was $269,099 compared to a loss of $216,177 for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This represents an increase of $52,922 or 24.48% for the quarter compared with the comparable period in the prior year.
Net income was $21,819 compared to $126,858 for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This is a decrease of $105,039 or 82.8% compared to the prior year. The current fiscal quarter amount includes a net reduction of $187,127 compared to $29,994 in the prior period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect, NetSol-TiG, and Talk Trainers owned by another party, and the 28.13% minority interest in NetSol PK. For the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, the Company recognized an expense of $2,628 and $3,941 for the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debentures and a gain of $1,318 and $49,865 from the settlement of debts and $12,016 and $0 expense for the fair value of options and warrants issued. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $0.01 for the corresponding period last year.
The net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, ( “EBITDA”) income was $715,299 compared to $617,650 or an increase of 15.81% after amortization and depreciation charges of $594,385 and $384,649, income taxes of $24,080 and $58,787, and interest expense of $75,015 and $47,356, respectively. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their decision-making process.
Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 2005:

Total Net Revenues | | $ | 14,040,185 | | | 100.00 | % | $ | 7,972,450 | | | 100.00 | % |
This reflects an increase of $6,067,735 or 76.11% in the current nine months as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The increase is attributable to new orders of licenses and an increase in services business, including additional maintenance work, and the addition of two new subsidiaries.

In addition, the Company as a whole contributed over $92,000 to charity organizations for the Earthquake Relief for Northern Pakistan. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased 3% to 49% from 52% in the prior nine-month period.

This represents an increase of $353,334 or 40.37% for the nine-month period compared to the prior year. This is directly due to increased sales, reduction of operational expenses, improved gross margins, and the addition of two new subsidiaries.
Net income was $350,601 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $445,238 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005. This is a decrease of $94,637 or 21.26% compared to the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash position was $2,390,245 at March 31, 2006 compared to $1,596,031 at March 31, 2005. In addition the Company had $2,098,003 as compared to $1,083,450 in certificates of deposit, respectively. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was $4,488,248 and $2,679,481 as of March 31, 2006 and 2005.
The Company’s current assets as of March 31, 2006 were 54.27% of total assets, an increase of 10.82% from 43.45% as of March 31, 2005. In addition, our working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $10,232,494.
Net cash used for operating activities amounted to $737,357 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $733,409 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in net income as well as an increase in prepaid expenses and accounts receivable.
Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $4,568,666 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $3,764,574 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the purchase of subsidiary which increased intangible assets and the purchase property and equipment during the current fiscal year. The Company had purchases of property and equipment of $2,063,284 compared to $804,115 for the comparable period last fiscal year. During the prior fiscal year, an additional $287,797 and $250,006 was infused into the Company’s minority interest in the Company’s subsidiaries NetSol Connect and NetSol-TiG.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $6,232,741 and $5,186,675 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006, and 2005, respectively. The current fiscal period included the cash inflow of $1,400,000 compared to $1,512,000 from issuance of equity and $384,062 compared to $999,224 from the exercising of stock options and warrants. In addition, the Company received net proceeds of $4,031,001 from the sale of a subsidiary’s common stock in an IPO on the Karachi Stock Exchange as compared to $1,589,974 in the prior year. In addition the Company and had net proceeds on loans and capital leases of $417,678 as compared to $1,137,181 in the comparable period last year.
The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and beef up marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts. Management feels that a major requirement of institutional investors is a much stronger balance sheet and a healthy cash position.
Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. Since our newly listed subsidiary on the Karachi Stock Exchange (“KSE”) has performed much better than our own expectation i.e. the stock has more than doubled from its IPO price, we have another vehicle to meet the growing needs of new capital. Any new capital raise would depend on future M&A initiatives. Management would exercise its best judgment in choosing the most viable option for financing. In addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. The Company has consistently improved its cash position in last four quarters through employees’ exercise of options, the IPO of the Pakistani subsidiary, private placements, and the signing of new business. We anticipate this trend to continue in the current and future quarters, further improving the cash resources and liquidity position. Management is committed to implementing the growth business strategy that was ratified by the board of directors in July 2005. The company would continue to inject new capital towards expansion, grow sales and marketing and further enhancement of delivery capabilities.
As a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long term business plans. Although our requirements for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we have the following capital needs:
| · | In next three months the final payment of CQ Systems would be due based on the formula of ‘earn out’. This could be in the range of $1.0MN to $3.6MN. |
| · | Notes payable for approximately $800,000. |
| · | Working capital of $1.0 million for US business expansion, new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements. |
| · | In the next three months the first installment for the purchase of McCue Systems would be due of approximately $2.0 MN. |
While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to the Company, we will consider raising capital through equity based financing and, warrant and option exercises. We would, however, use some of our internal cash flow to meet certain obligations as mentioned above.
The methods of raising funds for capital needs may differ based on the following:
| · | Stock volatility due to market conditions in general and NetSol stock performance in particular. This may cause a shift in our approach to raising new capital through other sources such as secured long term debt. |
| · | Analysis of the cost of raising capital in the U.S., Europe or emerging markets. By way of example only, if the cost of raising capital is high in one market and it may negatively affect the company’s stock performance, we may explore options available in other markets. |
Should global or other general macro economic factors cause an adverse climate, we would defer new financing and use internal cash flow for capital expenditures.

The total consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2005 was $12,437,653 compared to $5,749,062 in fiscal year 2004. This is a nearly 116% increase in revenue. The increase is attributable to increased sales, the acquisition of CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG.
The fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was a very busy and exciting period for NetSol worldwide. The Company added a few major new customers such as DaimlerChrysler in China, Japan, and New Zealand and Toyota Leasing Thailand and China. In addition, many new customers were added in Pakistan in both the public and private sectors. NetSol signed many new alliances and partnerships in fiscal year 2005. The most significant of all was the joint venture with a UK based company, The Innovation Group (“TiG”). NetSol owns 51% of this new entity while TIG owns 49%. The partnership is designed to outsource the global IT projects of TiG to NetSol in Pakistan.
NetSol made a significant move by acquiring 100% of a UK based software company CQ Systems Ltd. in February 2005. The acquisition of CQ Systems has provided NetSol a very strong and seasoned management team with a mature, profitable, business. NetSol’s global frame agreement with DaimlerChrysler Services (“DCS”) qualifies NetSol as a preferred vendor to DCS in 40 plus countries where DCS operates.
As a direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems with DaimlerChrysler and the signing of the global frame agreement, we are noticing a significant increase in demand for LeaseSoft. Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a 100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe, North America and Pakistan. In fiscal year 2005, NetSol raised the pricing of its LeaseSoft licenses significantly due primarily to a surge in demand. In spring of 2005, one complete system was sold to Toyota Leasing Thailand (“TLT”) for nearly $2.3 million that includes over $1.2 million for license fees.
A number of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell several new licenses in fiscal year 2006 that could potentially increase the sales and bottom line. As the Company sells more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices of these products vary from $100,000 to an excess of $1,000,000 with additional charges for customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year.
The gross profit was $7,682,904 for year ended June 30, 2005 as compared with $3,049,387 for the same period of the previous year. This is a 152% increase. The gross profit percentage was 62% for the current fiscal year and 53% in the prior year. While the cost of sales and the cost of delivery of projects have both been reduced in the current year, the Company maintained all its delivery commitments and has won new business from existing and new customers. While management is striving to negotiate better pricing on new agreements, the Company has been required to react to overall general economic factors in determining its present pricing structure. The gross profit margin was also improved due to improved quality standards such as achieving the assessment of CMM Level 4 in 2004.
Operating expenses were $6,618,199 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $5,757,405 for the year ended June 30, 2004. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company issued 188,972 and 48,613 restricted common shares in exchange for services rendered, respectively. The Company recorded this non-cash compensation expense of $246,650 and $48,240 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total professional service expense, including non-cash compensation, was $604,192 and $464,332 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $1,564,562 and $1,240,792, included in this increase is the addition of the completion of the Lahore facility. Salaries and wages expenses were $2,022,183 and $1,493,252 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or an increase of $528,931 or 35%. The addition of the new subsidiary, CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG, as well as an increase in development, sales and administration employees resulted in the increase. Approximately 250 new employees were added throughout the Company during the current fiscal year. General and administrative expenses were $1,588,456 and $1,759,607 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $171,151. This decrease is due to consolidation of US offices, streamlining of corporate overheads and reduction of operating expenses in the Lahore facility due to elimination of building rent. In the prior year, the general and administrative expense included non-recurring expenses for moving both the headquarters office and the Pakistan companies into the new facility, $105,608 in costs for placing the convertible debenture and $122,500 for settlement of legal disputes. Also, the Company had to incur extra costs for the annual shareholders meeting including proxies mailing and other administrative related costs and travel expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses increased to $782,488 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $253,701 for the year ended June 30, 2004, reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company and the addition of the new subsidiary, CQ Systems and the joint-venture, NetSol-TIG. The Company wrote-off, as uncollectible, bad debts of $13,118 and $219,909, during the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The income from operations in fiscal year 2005 was $1,064,705 compared to a net loss from operations of $2,708,018 in fiscal year 2004.

Net income in fiscal year 2005 was $663,325 compared to a net loss of $2,577,058 in fiscal year 2004 or 125.74% decrease. The current fiscal year amount includes a net reduction of $111,073 compared to an add-back of $273,159 in the prior year for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect and NetSol-TiG owned by another party. The Company also recognized non-recurring expenses including $209,848 and $137,230 expense for the beneficial conversion feature on notes payable and convertible debenture, a gain of $0 and $104,088, from writing off a note payable in one of the subsidiaries that had been paid through the issuance of stock by the parent in the prior year and, a gain of $404,136 and $216,230 from the settlement of a debt, respectively. In addition, during the current fiscal year, the Company recorded an expense of $255,130 for the fair market value of options and warrants granted. The net income per share was $0.06 in 2005 compared to a loss of $0.33 in 2004. The total weighted average of shares outstanding basic was 11.6 million and diluted was 14.8 million against basic and diluted 7.9 million in 2004.
The net EBITDA income for fiscal 2005 was $2,454,164 compared to loss of $1,029,751 in fiscal 2004 after amortization and depreciation charges of $1,564,562 and $1,240,792, income taxes of $10,416 and $76,638, and interest expense of $215,861 and 229,877, respectively. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their decision-making process.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
The Company's cash position was $1,371,727 at June 30, 2005 compared to $871,161 at June 30, 2004. In addition the Company had $205,480 compared to $391,403 in certificates of deposit. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was $1,577,207as of June 30, 2005 compared to $1,262,564 million as of June 30, 2004.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $243,872 for the year ended June 30, 2005, as compared to used for $1,770,591 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable and other assets offset by an increase in accounts payable.
Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $4,697,488 for the year ended June 30, 2005, as compared to providing $3,406,964 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the purchase of CQ Systems and the related increase in intangible assets acquired. During the prior fiscal year, the Company had proceeds of $210,000 from the sale of a minority interest in the Company’s subsidiary NetSol Connect, whereas in the current fiscal year the Company received $178,521 of additional capital from the minority interests. In addition, the Company had net purchases of property and equipment of $1,468,499 compared to $2,861,754 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The majority of this reflects the capitalized costs of the Lahore facility of approximately $1.37 million and $2.32 million, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4,826,927 and $5,774,256 for years ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The current fiscal year included the cash inflow of $1,512,000 from the sale of common stock and $1,260,057 from the exercising of stock options and warrants, compared to $1,848,750 and $1,445,392 in the prior year, respectively. In the current fiscal year, the Company had net proceeds from loans of $1,247,351 as compared to $1,301,571 in the comparable period last year. The Company also obtained a $1,200,000 convertible debenture during the prior fiscal year. The short term notes acquired during the current fiscal year were utilized to execute the acquisition of CQ Systems.
As of June 30, 2005 the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $3,458,302 compared to $410,991 as of June 30, 2004, an increase of $3,047,311. In the current fiscal year, the Company sold a total of $1,512,000 of its common stock in private placements. In fiscal 2004, the Company raised capital from financing with Maxim Group of $1.85 million, net of expenses. In addition, $1.2 million in convertible debentures were issued during the prior fiscal year and approximately $487,000 from the exercising of warrants. The Company has over $3.9 million in accounts receivable and $1.96 million in revenues in excess of billings. The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and beef up marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers, largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts.
Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of investor warrants and employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. The Company has consistently improved its cash position in last four quarters through investors’ exercise of warrants, employee options exercised, private placements and the signing of new business. We anticipate this trend to continue in the current and future quarters, further improving the cash resources and liquidity position. Management is committed to implementing the growth business strategy that was ratified by the board of directors in July 2005. The company would continue to inject new capital towards expansion, grow sales and marketing and further enhancement of delivery capabilities.
NetSol’s Technology Campus in Lahore was completed in May 2004 and the staff was relocated into this new building. The Phase One will easily hold up to 500 programmers, engineers and other related staff. NetSol has already experienced a very positive response to this move from the business community, our existing customers and prospective new customers worldwide. The completion of technology campus is a major milestone for NetSol, employees, customers and the shareholders. Due to its recent growth, management has already started the planning of constructing a new phase by erecting another structure behind the current building.
Dividends and Redemption
It has been the Company's policy to invest earnings in the growth of the Company rather than distribute earnings as dividends. This policy, under which dividends have not been paid since the Company's inception and is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
McCue Systems has identified the following material trends affecting the Company.
Positive trends:
| § | Continued recovery of the equipment leasing industry. |
| § | Continued growth in capital equipment sales across industries. |
| § | We anticipate that our biggest competitors (IDS / Oracle / SAP) will continue to face serious challenges in this vertical. |
| § | A number of large leasing companies, manufacturers, and bank equipment leasing operations will be looking to replace legacy and aging systems. This places McCue Systems in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies. |
| § | McCue Systems will continue to enjoy the benefits of its highly effective marketing efforts and industry presence. The presence of CEO John McCue on the Board of Directors of the dominant equipment leasing trade association in the US, the Equipment Leasing Association, and his anticipated election to the Board of Trustees of The Equipment Leasing and Finance Foundation will continue to bolster the dominance of the McCue Systems brand. |
Negative trends:
| § | McCue Systems will continue to face challenges in expanding the delivery capacity of its Development Department, as a result of the expense of qualified software engineers and the expense of training of new technical resources. |
| § | McCue Systems will continue to be capital-restrained, as a result of its policy to limit it capital spending to self-generated capital funds. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. Management believes our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where our financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include our evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether these assets are likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.
INCOME TAXES
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. During fiscal year 2005-2006, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the Three Months Ended March31, 2005:
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $1,133,862 and $1,206,183, respectively. This reflects a decrease of $72,321 or 6% in the current year as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease is mainly attributable to the lower license fees and consulting fees. License fees decreased $77,834 or 32% and consulting fees decreased $182,374 or 39%. However, maintenance fees increased $113,885 or 242% and we added a new model during the prior year for using our leasing software, the application provider service (“ASP”) which contributed $76,011 and $0, respectively. Designed for entry-level customers, the solution can be deployed in under 60 days, with cost structures scaling commensurately with the customers operational needs. The ASP offering provides monthly hosting fees along with an initial implementation fee. The ASP solution is co-managed with Lease Dimensions of Portland Oregon.

The gross profit percentage decreased to approximately 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to approximately 49% for the comparable period in the prior year. The total cost of revenues only increased $7,349 or 1.2%. The lower gross profit is a result of lower revenues.
Operating expenses were $642,819 and $509,499 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This reflects an increase of $133,320 or 26%. The increase is mainly attributable to increased selling and marketing expenses and professional fees. Selling and marketing expenses were $156,271 and $112,801, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $43,470. Professional services expense increased $80,826 to $85,296 in the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $4,470 in the comparable period in the prior year, included in the current year expense is $15,000 for audit fees not previously incurred.

Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their decision-making process.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
McCue Systems’ cash position was $886,714 at March 31, 2006 compared to $542,415 at March 31, 2005.
The Company’s current assets as of March 31, 2006 were 85.36% of total assets, a 3% decrease from 88.68% as of March 31, 2005.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $85,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $47,558 for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase is mainly due to increased accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities for the purchase of property and equipment was $13,344 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
For the short term, McCue Systems continues to pursue its strategy of self-funding growth through its own retained earnings and cash reserves. This has been the company’s operating philosophy since 1989 and we have been able to operate within these constraints through a variety of economic conditions. This philosophy, while limiting growth, appears to management to be the most viable considering that there are limited funding alternatives for a private company of our size in our focused vertical market.
Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to both closely managing expenses as well as generating ongoing revenues from its maintenance agreements, backlog of revenue to be delivered, Application Service Provider revenues as well as new license sales.

The gross profit percentage increased to approximately 56% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to approximately 51% for previous year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
McCue Systems’ cash position was $814,868 at December 31, 2005 compared to $494,857 at December 31, 2004.
The Company’s current assets as of December 31, 2005 were 85.39% of total assets, a 2% decrease from 87.38% as of December 31, 2004.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $537,342 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $550,097 for the previous year. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in net income as well as decrease in unearned revenues and the one-time settlement charge for litigation of $350,000.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $153,210 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $194,579 for the previous year.

The Company had purchases of property and equipment of $34,785 compared to $55,379 for the prior year.
Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $64,121 and $128,722 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for the payment on loans.

The Company has accrued $350,000 at year-end as a reserve for the potential settlement of on-going litigation.
Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to both closely managing expenses as well as generating ongoing revenues from its maintenance agreements, backlog of revenue to be delivered, Application Service Provider revenues as well as new license sales and sales of additional seats and modules to existing customers.

MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING THE COMPANY
CQ Systems has identified the following material trends affecting the Company.
Positive trends:
| · | CQ Systems position within the specialized UK market continues to build and improve. The company is recognized as a leading supplier of quality-driven software solutions and respected for its deliver capabilities. |
| · | Multiple Country installations in DaimlerChrysler have proven our ability to deliver on a broad geographic basis with integrity and on schedule. |
| · | Although the UK market continues to consolidate and would be considered mature, the company’s position within it is well received and recognized. |
| · | CQ Systems manpower base consists of experienced staff with specific leasing expertise and enjoys minimal wastage allowing us to maximize skills and efficiency leverage. |
| · | CQ Systems can expand into rapidly growing Asian markets by building on existing customer links and experience. This is not an unknown market for us. |
Negative trends:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated US GAAP financial information contained in CQ Systems audited statements represent historical information, which previously was reported in accordance with United Kingdom GAAP and has been restated in accordance with US GAAP. The restatement to US GAAP has been performed at the request of the Directors of the company.
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of the Company including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. Management believes our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout the Company. Primary areas where our financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include our evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether these assets are likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Nine Month Period Ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the Nine Month Period Ended December 31, 2003:
Net revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were £1,813,546 and £2,014,630, respectively. This reflects a decrease of £201,084 or 9.98% in the current nine months as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2003. During the nine months ended December 31, 2003 CQ Systems Limited secured a substantial contract with Cattles Commercial Finance to deliver a £0.5million solution which was delivered during the year. This project was complemented by the completion of a major installation at Singer and Friedlander Insurance Finance.
The first nine months of fiscal 2004 the Company secured several installation contracts with CHS, Aascent Finance, Orix Leasing and Kenya Commercial Bank. The phasing of these projects, some of which are expected to continue through fiscal 2005, has resulted in a decrease in revenue for the period, compared to the same period in fiscal 2003. CQ Systems Ltd expects the next quarter to supply higher revenues as installations are substantially progressed and that the annual revenue for the year ended March 31, 2005 should exceed the previous year.
The gross profit was £1,713,974 for the nine months ending December 31, 2004 as compared with £1,059,661 for the same period of the previous year. The gross profit percentage increased to 94.51% in the current fiscal year from 52.60% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. This is mainly due to decreases in revenue and cost of sales.
The first nine months of 2004 the Company secured several installation contracts with CHS, Aascent Finance, Orix Leasing and Kenya Commercial Bank. The phasing of these projects, some of which are expected to continue through 2005, has resulted in a decrease in revenue for the period, compared to the same period in 2004. CQ Systems Ltd expects the next quarter to supply higher revenues as installations are substantially progressed and that the annual revenue to 31 March 2005 should exceed the previous year.
The decrease in cost of revenue is attributable to the accounting policy of CQ Systems at this time. At December 31, 2004 cost of revenue was comprised of purchases directly on the customers’ behalf and third party suppliers. Staff remuneration and benefits were defined as operating expenses, pending year end analysis of direct costs.
Operating expenses were £1,675,748 for the nine months ending December 31, 2004 as compared to £605,361, for the corresponding period last fiscal year for an increase of £1,070,387. The increase in operating costs is attributable to the accounting policy of CQ Systems at this time. At December 31, 2004 cost of revenue comprises purchases directly on the customers’ behalf and third party suppliers. Staff remuneration and benefits are defined as operating expenses, pending year end analysis of direct costs.
Income from operations was £38,225 compared to £454,300 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents a decrease of £416,075 or 92% for the nine-month period compared to the prior year. This is directly due to a decrease in revenue over the two periods and is a reflection of the project phasing during the year. It is anticipated that by the end of next quarter ( March 31, 2005) net revenue should exceed the previous year if projects remain on schedule. Also, third party supplier costs in relation to Aascent Finance installation were a significant additional cost above those of the previous period.
Net income was £42,972 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to £381,047 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. This is a decrease of £338,075 or 89% compared to the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash position was £540,732 at December 31, 2004 compared to £562,326 at December 31, 2003.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to £14,993 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, as compared to £291,331 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in net income as well as an increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Net cash used by investing activities for the purchase of equipment amounted to £144,999 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, as compared to £71,427 for the comparable period last fiscal year.
Net cash used by financing activities for the distribution of dividends amounted to £138,750 and £105,714 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
CQ Systems Limited will make use of a loan facility with its bank should further funds be required, but does not anticipate requiring working capital beyond that provided by its bank balances and debtors for its plans for the financial year ending 31 March 2005.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Year Ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2003:
Net revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were £2,739,303 and £2,471,477, respectively. This reflects an increase of £267,826 or 10.84% in the current year as compared to the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase is attributable to increases in license and maintenance revenues of £143,000 and £174,000 respectively.
CQ Systems Limited has been successful in delivering a major installation at Insurance Premium Finance provider Singer and Friedlander Insurance Finance over the two years, representing a total £ 1.4 million in revenue in equal proportions across the periods in question.
During fiscal 2003 the company also completed the final installation in a major multi-country installation with DaimlerChrysler Capital Services as well as implementing two further Enterprise systems at Broadcastle PLC and Hanover Finance.
During fiscal 2004 CQ Systems secured a major contract with Cattles Commercial Finance to deliver a £0.5million solution which was delivered within the year.
Additionally, the company saw a significant increase of 25% in maintenance revenue (£ 175,000) for all products in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. This reflected an increase in the number of major installations and upgrades in the two years.
The gross profit was £1,656,726 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared with £1,401,503 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The gross profit percentage increased 3.77 % to 60.48% in the current fiscal year from 56.71% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit over the two years is comprised of increases in license and maintenance revenues while the cost of sales has increased only marginally over the two years.
Operating expenses were £1,119,171 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 as compared to £1,302,176, for the corresponding period last fiscal year for a decrease of £183,005. Operating expenses were comprised of the following for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:
· | Directors salaries and fees | 2004: £ 271,826 | 2003: £ 391,587 |
| | | |
· | Operating salaries and pensions | 2004: £ 209,809 | 2003: £ 258,448 |
| | | |
· | Advertising and Marketing | 2004: £ 52,754 | 2003: £ 26,532 |
| | | |
· | Depreciation | 2004: £ 70,992 | 2003: £ 98,513 |
| | | |
· | Other operating costs | 2004: £ 248,230 | 2003: £ 250,618 |
The decrease in directors’ salaries and fees and operating salaries of £168,400 is mainly attributable to a change in remuneration policy for shareholders to a performance related dividend basis.
Income from operations was £537,554 compared to £99,326 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This represents an increase of £438,228. This is directly due to an increase in gross profit over the two years comprising increased in license and maintenance together with a decrease in directors salaries and fees and operating salaries of £168,400, mainly attributable to a change in remuneration policy for shareholders to a performance related dividend basis.
Net income was £410,750 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 compared to £76,977 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This is an increase of £333,773 compared to the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash position was £809,488 at March 31, 2004 compared to £448,136 at March 31, 2003.
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to £673,458 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, as compared to £105,959 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase is mainly due to an increase in net income as well as a decrease in accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Net cash used by investing activities for the purchase of equipment amounted to £97,106 and £27,462 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Net cash used by financing activities for the distribution of dividends amounted to £215,000 and £0 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
CQ Systems Limited will make use of a loan facility with its bank should further funds be required, but does not anticipate requiring working capital beyond that provided by its bank balances and debtors for its plans for the financial year ending 31 March 2005.
Changes In And Disagreements With Accountants On Accounting And Financial Disclosure
CMB Parntership’s report on CQ Systems, Ltd.’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of CQ Systems, Ltd’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 there were no disagreements, disputes, or differences of opinion with CMB Partnership on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CMB Partnership would have caused CMB Partnership to make reference to the matter in its report.
(Proposal No. Two)
APPROVAL TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY TO PERMIT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO DESIGNATE BY RESOLUTION ACCORDING TO NEVADA REVISED STATUTES 78.1955 THE POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE RIGHTS OF PREFERRED STOCK AND QUALITIFCATIONS, LIMITATIONS
AND RESTRICTIONS THEREOF
The articles of incorporation of the Company authorize the issuance of up to 5 million shares of preferred stock.
Nevada Revised Statutes section 78.1955 states in pertinent part that “. . .If the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of any class or series of stock have been established by a resolution of the board of directors pursuant to a provision in the articles of incorporation, a certificate of designation setting forth the resolution and stating the number of shares for each designation must be signed by an officer of the corporation and filed with the Secretary of State. A certificate of designation signed and filed pursuant to this section must become effective before the issuance of any shares of the class or series. . .”
In a Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 20, 2002, the articles of incorporation were amended to permit the board of directors to designate by resolution the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the preferred stock.
In a Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 12, 2003, the provision of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation providing such powers to the board of directors was inadvertently omitted.
The grant of such powers is necessary to permit the board of directors to by resolution assign the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the Series A 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock contemplated to be issued if shareholder approval of proposal number one is acquired.
The Convertible Notes will convert into the preferred stock following stockholder approval (the “Preferred Stock”). To date, no shares of the Company’s preferred stock have been issued. We are seeking your approval to amend the articles of incorporation to permit the board of directors to designate the rights and privileges of the preferred stock. The Preferred Stock contemplated to be issued in the Financing (which certificate of designation is attached to Annex E and which will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State only upon approval of the proposals set forth in this Proxy) are convertible into shares of common stock at such time and at such value as is set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The initial conversion value shall be $1.65. The conversion value is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 7% per annum from the date of issuance of each share until paid. The dividends may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or in shares of common stock in arrears on the first business day of each calendar quarter of each year. The Company may force a conversion of the Preferred Stock in the event that the market price of the Company’s common stock is greater than 200% of the conversion value. If any shares of the Preferred Stock remain outstanding on June 15, 2009, the Company shall redeem such shares for an amount in cash equal to the liquidation preference plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Anti-dilution protection is afforded to the holders by providing for an adjustment of the conversion price in certain circumstances. The conversion price is adjusted for dividends subdivisions, combinations, distributions and issuances of shares, or securities convertible into shares, of common stock of the Company issued at an effective per share selling price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the trading day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the conversion value, then in each such case the conversion value in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the conversion value then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or conversion value, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on June 15, 2006, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Preferred Stock bears voting rights in an amount equal to the conversion value of the preferred stock into common stock, without giving effect to any anti-dilution provisions of the Preferred Stock. Conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to beneficial ownership caps of from 4.9% to 9.9% of the total number of shares of common stock of the Company then issued and outstanding
The Company proposes to amend Article III of the Articles of Incorporation to add the following provisions:
“The board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is expressly authorized to provide for issuance of all or any shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such series and as may be permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes (as amended from time to time, the “NRS”), including, without limitation, the authority to provide that any such class or series may be (i) subject to redemption at any time or times and at such price or prices: (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions, and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or any other series; (iii) entitled to such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Corporation; (vi) entitled to vote separately or together with any other series or class of stock of the Corporation; or (v) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock, of the Corporation at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments; all as may be stated in such resolution or resolutions.”
The amendment of the articles requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares represented and voting, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCLUDE THE POWER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BY RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE THE RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF THE PREFERRED STOCK AS PROVIDED FOR BY NEVADA REVISED STATUTES 78.1955.
Other Matters
The Board of Directors of the Company does not intend to present any business at the Special Meeting other than the matters specifically set forth in this Proxy Statement and knows of no other business to come before the Special Meeting. However, on all matters properly brought before the Special Meeting by the Board or by others, the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment.
It is important that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting, whether or not you plan to attend. Accordingly, we respectfully request that you sign, date and mail your Proxy in the enclosed envelope as promptly as possible.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange for fees from customers.
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s amended annual report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies (PVT), Ltd. (“PK Tech”), NetSol (PVT), Limited (“PK Private”), NetSol Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“NetSol Abraxas”), NetSol Technologies UK, Ltd. (“NetSol UK”), and CQ Systems Ltd.(“CQ Systems”), as well as the subsidiaries in which the Company owns a controlling percentage, NetSol CONNECT (PVT), Ltd. (now, NetSol Akhter Pvt. Ltd.) (“Connect”), TiG-NetSol (Pvt) Ltd. (“NetSol-TiG”), and Talk Trainers (Private) Limited (“Talk Trainers”). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.
NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
| 1. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. |
| 2. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
| 3. | Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
| 4. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
| 5. | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER SHARE:
Net income per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
| | | | | | | |
For the nine months ended March 31, 2006 | | Net Income | | Shares | | Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share: | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTE 10 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill. The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 has been evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to the financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002.
As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
Product licenses and customer lists were comprised of the following as of March 31, 2006:

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company determined that certain transactions and presentation in the financial statements had not been accounted for properly in the Company's financial statements. Specifically, the amount of impairment of goodwill was over-recorded and classified as amortization expense, and the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture was overstated and loans to officers hadn’t been properly reflected on the financial statements and the exercise of options against these loans had been recorded as receivables as of June 30, 2004.

At the date of acquisition, the management of the Company allocated approximately $6.3 million to these assets, based on independent valuation reports prepared for the Company. The excess of the purchase prices over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, was recorded as goodwill, and was being amortized by using the straight-line method from the date of each purchase. Effective April 1, 2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all its acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly, accelerated the amortization of these intangibles. During June 2001, the management decided to close its operations in the United Kingdom, and accordingly, the Company recognized a loss from impairment of various intangible assets related to NetSol UK, as recoverability of these assets (measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset) seemed highly unlikely.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies (Pvt), Ltd.(“PK Tech”), NetSol (Pvt), Limited (“PK Private”), NetSol Technologies Limited (“UK”), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”), NetSol Altvia, Inc. (“USA”), CQ Systems Limited (“CQ”), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. (“Connect”), and TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited (“TIG”). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Company name change:
Effective February 8, 2002, the Company changed its name from NetSol International, Inc. to NetSol Technologies, Inc. The name change was approved by a majority of shareholders at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting held on January 25, 2002.
Business Activity:
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing industry worldwide. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange for fees from customers.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effective April 1, 2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all its acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly, accelerated the amortization of these intangibles. This change in estimate increased the depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $700,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 and $400,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2001. Due to impairment losses recognized to intangibles, the remaining net intangible balance of approximately $6,860,000 (including goodwill of $1,950,000) at the date of change in estimation in 2001 has been amortized over the remaining life of 57 months. The Company evaluates, on on-going basis, the accounting effect arising from the recently issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” which became effective to the Company’s financial statements beginning July 1, 2002.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.
Concentration
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company’s customer base consists of a geographically dispersed customer base. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
Revenues in excess of billings:
“Revenues in excess of billings” represent the total of the project to be billed to the customer over the life of the project. As each phase is completed and billed to the customer, the corresponding percentage of completion amount is transferred from this account to “Accounts Receivable.”
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years.
The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.” Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense.
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill. The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 is being evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to the financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002.
As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
Statement of Cash Flows:
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) and The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” and Accounting Research Bulletin 45 (ARB 45) “Long-Term Construction Type Contracts.” The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
License Revenue: The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibilty is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45 and SOP 81-1. Any revenues from software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective evidence as defined in the SOPs. An output measure of “Unit of Work Completed” is used to determine the percentage of completion which measures the results achieved at a specific date. Units completed are certified by the Project Manager and EVP IT/ Operations.
Services Revenue: Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.
Fair Value:
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate carrying values of such amounts.
Advertising Costs:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $127,602 and $37,801, respectively.
Net Loss Per Share:
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share.” Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
| |
For the year ended June 30, 2005 | | Net Income | | Shares | | Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share: | | $ | 663,325 | | | 11,597,625 | | $ | 0.06 | |
Net income available to common shareholders | | | | | | | | | | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | | | | | | | | |
Stock options | | | | | | 2,515,114 | | | | |
Warrants | | | | | | 663,584 | | | | |
Diluted earnings per share | | $ | 663,325 | | | 14,776,323 | | $ | 0.04 | |
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same in these financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004 since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.
Reverse stock split:
On August 18, 2003, the Company affected a 1 for 5 reverse stock-split for all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All historical share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the 5:1 reverse stock split.
Other Comprehensive Income & Foreign Currency Translation:
SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s available for sale securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension liability, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders’ equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. The accounts of NetSol UK and CQ Systems use British Pounds; NetSol Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., NetSol Private, NetSol Connect, and TiG-Netsol use Pakistan Rupees; NetSol Abraxas uses the Australian dollar as the functional currencies. NetSol Technologies, Inc., and NetSol Altvia, Inc., uses U.S. dollars as the functional currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the period. During the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, comprehensive income included net translation loss of $282,129 and $387,859, respectively. Other comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders’ equity section amounted to $520,691 as of June 30, 2005.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which applies the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with this standard, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation arrangements that are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Interpretation 44 became effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that were effective retroactively to December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000. Interpretation 44 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Income Taxes:
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net federal and state operating loss carry forwards expiring in various years through 2025. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the valuation allowance increased by $651,617; primarily due to the application of the current year net loss for the US companies to the net operating loss carry forward. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured.
A summary at June 30, 2005 is as follows:
| | Federal | | State | | Total | |
Net operating loss carry forward - June 30, 2004 | | $ | 22,479,286 | | $ | 9,503,419 | | | | |
Net loss | | | 3,245,957 | | | 3,245,957 | | | | |

Derivative Instruments:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. After adoption, the Company is required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The Company has complied with the requirements of SFAS 133, the effect of which was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company does not participates in such activities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of:
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
For goodwill not identifiable with an impaired asset, the Company establishes benchmarks at the lowest level (entity level) as its method of assessing impairment. In measuring impairment, unidentifiable goodwill is considered impaired if the fair value at the lowest level is less than its carrying amount. The fair value of unidentifiable goodwill is determined by subtracting the fair value of the recognized net assets at the lowest level (excluding goodwill) from the value at the lowest level. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the fair value of goodwill. In the event that impairment is recognized, appropriate disclosures are made.
Goodwill of a reporting unit is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of reporting unit goodwill is evaluated based on a comparison of the reporting unit’s carrying value to the implied fair value of the reporting unit. Conditions that indicate that an impairment of goodwill exists include a sustained decrease in the market value of the reporting unit or an adverse change in business climate.
On June 30, 2004, the Company evaluated the valuation of goodwill based upon the performance and market value of NetSol USA. The Company determined the goodwill was impaired and recorded the impairment of $203,312 at June 30, 2004, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reporting segments:
Statement of financial accounting standards No. 131, Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information (SFAS No. 131), which superceded statement of financial accounting standards No. 14, Financial reporting for segments of a business enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based upon geographic locations of its subsidiaries (see note 12).
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting in Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

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

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
McCue Systems, Incorporated, a California corporation, (the “Company”) is a software development firm specializing in lease accounting and asset management applications for the financial services, automotive and high-tech industries. The Company is located in Burlingame, California and was incorporated in 1981. The Company’s product, LeasePak and its suite of modules, is a fully scalable, open architecture system available on multiple platforms. The Company also provides implementation, development, systems integration, and customization services for its clients.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity:
The Company designs, develops, and markets, proprietary software products to primarily equipment and vehicle lessors in the financial services, automotive finance and high-tech industries in the United States. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange for fees from customers.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.
Concentration
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing accounts which may exceed the maximum amount covered by depository insurance. The Company’s policy is to place its cash on deposit in high credit quality instruments in financial institutions in the United States.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years.
The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.” Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense.
Intangible Assets:
The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) and The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” and Accounting Research Bulletin 45 (ARB 45) “Long-Term Construction Type Contracts.” The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
License Revenue: The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibilty is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45 and SOP 81-1. Any revenues from software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective evidence as defined in the SOPs. An output measure of “Unit of Work Completed” is used to determine the percentage of completion which measures the results achieved at a specific date. Units completed are certified by the Project Manager.
Services Revenue: Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.
Fair Value:
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, at the approximate carrying values of such amounts.
Advertising Costs:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 were $35,669 and $52,028, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share:
Net income/(loss) per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share.” Basic net income/loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
| | | | | | | |

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which applies the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with this standard, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation arrangements that are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Interpretation 44 became effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that were effective retroactively to December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000. Interpretation 44 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract.
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value.
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications:
For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.

Litigation
On July 27, 1999, two former employees of the Company, Mohamad Rashedi and Gregory Saylor, and the company formed by the former employees (Integrated Support Services, a general partnership "IS") filed a complaint in the Superior Court of San Mateo County alleging damages for unfair competition, defamation, restraint of trade and prevention of employment. A counter-suit was filed by the Company against the plaintiffs alleging misappropriation of proprietary materials.

The terms of the Settlement and Release Agreement call for the Company to pay the two former employees $625,000 upon the execution of the Settlement and Release Agreement and $75,000 within 90 days of the execution of the Settlement and Release Agreement. The Company's insurance carrier paid half of the settlement cost directly to the two former employees upon the signing of the settlement agreement.

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (unaudited)
On May 6, 2006 the stockholders voted in favor of the Company being acquired by NetSol Technologies, Inc. (“NetSol”), a publicly listed corporation on the NASDAQ exchange, (NTWK). Under the agreement, NetSol will purchase 100% of the outstanding stock of McCue. The estimated purchase price based on the December 31, 2005 revenues is $8.5 million dollars. The agreement calls for a closing date on or about June 30, 2006.
According to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, NetSol is to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of McCue from McCue’s current shareholders, whose identity is set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement (the “McCue Shareholders”) at the completion date in exchange for a purchase price consisting of: a) 50% of McCue’s total gross revenue for the audited twelve month period ending December 31, 2005 after an adjustment for any revenue occurring outside of the company’s ordinary scope of operations as defined by US GAAP multiplied by 1.5 payable: (i) 50% in shares of restricted common stock of NetSol at the 30 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP) for each of the 30 trading days prior to the execution date of this agreement or at the VWAP for each of the 30 trading days prior to November 30, 2005 whichever is the greater VWAP; and, (ii) 50% in cash; b) 25% of McCue’s total gross revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006 multiplied by 1.5 payable, at NetSol’s discretion: (i) wholly in cash; or (ii) on the same basis and on the same terms as the initial payment provided that under no circumstances shall the total number of shares of common stock issued to the McCue Shareholders exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, less treasury shares, of NetSol at May 6, 2006; and c) 25% of McCue’s total gross revenue for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 multiplied by 1.5 payable, at the Company’s discretion: (i) wholly in cash; or (ii) on the same basis and on the same terms as the initial payment provided that under no circumstances shall the total number of shares of common stock issued to the McCue Shareholders exceed 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, less treasury shares, of NetSol at May 6, 2006.
The initial payment will consist of approximately $2.1 million in cash and 985,213 shares of NetSol’s restricted common stock.
During May and June 2006, 281,908 options were exercised for a total of $230,276 of which $4,020 was received in cash and the remaining amount of $226,356 was recorded as a receivable. The amount due from the shareholders will be withheld from any funds due to them at the close of the acquisition by NetSol. In addition, the option holders were granted a loan from the Company of $0.33 per share to help defray any tax consequence of the option exercise. This loan is to be repaid from the proceeds of the second and third installment of the purchase price of the acquisition by NetSol.
During May and June 2006, 323,682 warrants were exercised. Of these, 281,540 were exercised under a cashless exercise provision of $0.85 per share and 238,735 shares were issued as a result. $1,542 was received in cash and a receivable for $28,800 was recorded. The receivable will be withheld from any funds due to them at the close of the acquisition by NetSol.
On June 12, 2006 the Company paid the remaining balance of $75,000 due on the settlement agreement (See Note 14). On June 22, 2006 a dismissal of the case was filed with the court.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS
McCue Systems, Incorporated, a California corporation, (the “Company”) is a software development firm specializing in lease accounting and asset management applications for the financial services, automotive and high-tech industries. The Company is located in Burlingame, California and was incorporated in 1981. The Company’s product, LeasePak and its suite of modules, is a fully scalable, open architecture system available on multiple platforms. The Company also provides implementation, development, systems integration, and customization services for its clients.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity:
The Company designs, develops, and markets, proprietary software products to primarily equipment and vehicle lessors in the financial services, automotive finance and high-tech industries in the United States. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange for fees from customers.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.
Concentration
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing accounts which may exceed the maximum amount covered by depository insurance. The Company’s policy is to place its cash on deposit in high credit quality instruments in financial institutions in the United States.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years.
The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use.” The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with “Computer equipment and software.” Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense.
Intangible Assets:
The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”) and The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts,” and Accounting Research Bulletin 45 (ARB 45) “Long-Term Construction Type Contracts.” The Company’s revenue recognition policy is as follows:
License Revenue: The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibilty is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45 and SOP 81-1. Any revenues from software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective evidence as defined in the SOPs. An output measure of “Unit of Work Completed” is used to determine the percentage of completion which measures the results achieved at a specific date. Units completed are certified by the Project Manager.
Services Revenue: Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.
Fair Value:
Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, at the approximate carrying values of such amounts.
Advertising Costs:
The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 were $151,290 and $139,625, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share:
Net income/(loss) per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share.” Basic net income/loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
| | | | | | | |
For the year ended December 31, 2005 | | Net Income | | Shares | | Per Share | |
Basic earnings per share: | | | | | | | | | | |
Net income available to common shareholders | | $ | 646,218 | | | 669,539 | | $ | 0.97 | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | | | | | | | | |
Stock options | | | | | | 46,721 | | | | |
Warrants | | | | | | - | | | | |
Diluted earnings per share | | $ | 646,218 | | | 716,260 | | $ | 0.90 | |
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same in these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which applies the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with this standard, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44), “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation.” Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation arrangements that are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Interpretation 44 became effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that were effective retroactively to December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000. Interpretation 44 did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Income Taxes:
No provision was made for income tax for the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, since the Company had significant net operating loss carry forwards. During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company incurred net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $57,000 and ($663,000), respectively. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company had total federal net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $2,099,000 and $1,436,000, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry forwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2025. As of December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company had total state net operating losses for tax purposes of approximately $1,832,000 and $1,169,000, respectively. The state net operating loss carry forwards may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2009. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock. The provision for income taxes consists of the state minimum tax imposed on corporations.
The gross deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 was approximately $877,000 and $1,143,000, respectively. A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets, as the utilization of the loss carry forwards cannot reasonably be assured.
The components of the net deferred tax asset are summarized below:
| | December 31, 2004 | | December 31, 2005 | |
| | | | | |
Deferred tax assets | | | | | |

Derivative Instruments:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. After adoption, the Company is required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The Company has complied with the requirements of SFAS 133, the effect of which was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company does not participates in such activities.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be disposed of:
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period’s financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
| 6. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. |
| 7. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
| 8. | Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
| 9. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |

| | 2004 | | 2005 | |
Net income (loss) - as reported | | $ | (71,794 | ) | $ | 646,218 | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Summary of significant accounting policies |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and are stated in United Kingdom sterling.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| a. | Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary. The group’s subsidiary is Custom Quest Limited, a dormant company that has not traded since 31 May 2001 in which the group has a 100% direct holding in the voting rights. The net assets of the subsidiary company since cessation of trade is £nil.
The group recognises its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No 104 “Revenue recognition in Financial Statements”.
Licence revenue is recognised where orders have been signed and the product is delivered. In contracts with multiple elements revenues are allocated to each element based on the fair value on completion, delivery and acceptance by the customer. For other services related activity, revenue is recognised when earned and billed using the time and material basis.
| c. | Automobiles and equipment |
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write off each asset over its useful life;
Computer software | 50% straight line |
Office furniture and fittings | 15% straight line |
Computer equipment | 33.33% straight line |
Automobiles | 25% straight line |
The group evaluates tangible fixed assets for impairment losses at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or is greater than its fair value.
Long-lived assets
Effective January 1 2002, the group adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 144 “Accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets” (“SFAS 144”) which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The group has evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets held in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when indicators of impairment are present where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Based on its review, the group believes that as of March 31 2004 and 2003, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. These reflect the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and their respective tax bases.
| e. | Research and Development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. Development costs on computer software that is to be sold relates to bespoke work undertaken for particular customers as and when requested. Under these circumstances, these costs are written off as incurred rather than capitalised and amortised, as they relate solely to the individual customers specifications rather than being available for general release to customers.
The company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
| g. | Hire Purchase and Leasing Commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over their useful estimated lives.
The interest element of these obligations are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings over the lease term. The capital element of the future payments is treated as liability.
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of income and retained earnings on a straight line basis.
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are charged in the statement of income and retained earnings.
| i. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash at bank and in hand.
| j. | Foreign currency transactions |
Accounting principles generally require that recognised revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements however require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as a gain or loss on a foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Cumulative translation adjustments were insignificant in both the year and preceding year.
The amounts owed under hire purchase contracts totaling £111,833 (2003 - £61,698) are secured on the assets acquired.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Provision is made for United Kingdom corporation tax payable on the group’s taxable net income. This is provided for at the rate of tax prevailing at that time. The current standard corporation tax rate in the United Kingdom is 30%. Deferred tax is provided using the standard rate.
The UK corporation and deferred tax charge is stated below:-

Corporation tax | | | 10,080 | | | 82,833 | |
| | | 10,080 | | | 82,833 | |

| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
The following unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations have been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of NetSol Technologies, Inc. (“NetSol”) for the six months ending December, 2004 and the unaudited financial statements of CQ Systems Limited (a UK corporation) (“CQ Systems”) for the nine months ending December 31, 2004. The unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations reflect the 100% acquisition of CQ Systems by NetSol under a stock purchase agreement. The Company has accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The pro-forma Statement of Financial Conditions assumes the acquisition was consummated as of December 31, 2004, and the pro-forma Statements of Operations assumes the acquisition was consummated as of July 1, 2003, the beginning of NetSol Technologies fiscal year.
The purchase price is £3,576,335 or $6,730,382 of which one-half is due in cash and shares of NetSol’s common stock at closing. The other half is due after the audited March 31, 2006 financial statements have been prepared. The initial purchase price is based on the March 31, 2005 audited financial statements of CQ Systems. The final purchase price will be adjusted either up or down when the audited March 31, 2006 financial statements are completed.
The Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of NetSol, related Notes to the financial statements, and the Financial Statements of CQ Systems. The Pro-Forma statements do not purport to represent what the Company’s financial condition and results of operations would actually have been if the acquisition of CQ Systems had occurred on the date indicated or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future period or date. The Pro-Forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying data, are based on available information and the assumptions set forth in the notes below, which management believes are reasonable.
