NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile financing and leasing, banking,
and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides system integration, consulting, and IT products and services in
exchange for fees from customers.
The
consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2023. 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 as follows:

NOTE
2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. The areas requiring significant estimates are provision for doubtful accounts, provision for taxation, useful life
of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, assumptions used to determine the net present value of operating
lease liabilities, and estimated contract costs. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Cash
includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained within the United States as well as in foreign countries. Certain financial
instruments, which subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist of cash and restricted cash. The Company maintains balances
at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits for the banks located
in the United States. Balances at financial institutions within certain foreign countries are not covered by insurance except balances
maintained in China are insured for RMB 500,000 ($ 68,493 ) in each bank and in the UK for GBP 85,000 ($ 103,659 ) in each bank. The Company
maintains three bank accounts in China and nine bank accounts in the UK. As of September 30, 2023, and June 30, 2023, the Company had
uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $ 15,197,882 and $ 13,524,518 ,
respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
The
Company’s operations are carried out globally. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments of each country and by the general state of the country’s economy.
The Company’s operations in each foreign country are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated
with companies in economically developed nations. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal
environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies
with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of
taxation, among other things.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value
measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively
short maturities. The carrying amounts of the long-term debt approximate their fair values based on current interest rates for instruments
with similar characteristics.
The
three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level
1:
Valuations
consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and has the highest priority.
Level
2:
Valuations
rely on quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the asset or liability.
Level
3:
Valuations
are based on prices or third party or internal valuation models that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement
and are less observable and thus have the lowest priority.

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

from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized
in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer
had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within
those years, and was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2023. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition
and Initial Measurement. ASU 2023-05 provides decision-useful information to a joint venture’s investors and reduces diversity
in practice by requiring that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture,
upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are
consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint ventures with a formation date
on or after January 1, 2025, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its
consolidated financial statements.
All
other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE
3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION
The
Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
●
Identification
of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
●
Identification
of the performance obligations in the contract;
●
Determination
of the transaction price;
●
Allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
●
Recognition
of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The
Company records the amount of revenue and related costs by considering whether the entity is a principal (gross presentation) or an agent
(net presentation) by evaluating the nature of its promise to the customer. Revenue is presented net of sales, value-added and other
taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.
The
Company has two primary revenue streams: core revenue and non-core revenue.
Core
Revenue
The
Company generates its core revenue from the following sources: (1) software licenses, (2) services, which include implementation and
consulting services, and (3) subscription and support, which includes post contract support, of its enterprise software solutions for
the lease and finance industry. The Company offers its software using the same underlying technology via two models: a traditional on-premises
licensing model and a subscription model. The on-premises model involves the sale or license of software on a perpetual basis to customers
who take possession of the software and install and maintain the software on their own hardware. Under the subscription delivery model,
the Company provides access to its software on a hosted basis as a service and customers generally do not have the contractual right
to take possession of the software.
Non-Core
Revenue
The
Company generates its non-core revenue by providing business process outsourcing (“BPO”), other IT services and internet
services.
Performance
Obligations
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under
Topic 606. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance
obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies and tracks the performance
obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract.
The
Company’s contracts which contain multiple performance obligations generally consist of the initial purchase of subscription or
licenses and a professional services engagement. License purchases generally have multiple performance obligations as customers purchase
post contract support and services in addition to the licenses. The Company’s single performance obligation arrangements are typically
post contract support renewals, subscription renewals and services engagements.
For
contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalone selling price (“SSP”)
for any distinct good or service, the Company may be required to allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance
obligation using its best estimate for the SSP.
Software
Licenses
Transfer
of control for software is considered to have occurred upon delivery of the product to the customer. The Company’s typical payment
terms tend to vary by region, but its standard payment terms are within 30 days of invoice.

Subscription
Subscription
revenue is recognized ratably over the initial subscription period committed to by the customer commencing when the product is made available
to the customer. The initial subscription period is typically 12 to 60 months. The Company generally invoices its customers in advance
in quarterly or annual installments and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.
Post
Contract Support
Revenue
from support services and product updates, referred to as subscription and support revenue, is recognized ratably over the term of the
maintenance period, which in most instances is one year. Software license updates provide customers with rights to unspecified software
product updates and patches released during the term of the support period on a when-and-if available basis. The Company’s customers
purchase both product support and license updates when they acquire new software licenses. In addition, most customers renew their support
services contracts annually and typical payment terms provide that customers make payment within 30 days of invoice.
Professional
Services
Revenue
from professional services is typically comprised of implementation, development, data migration, training, or other consulting services.
Consulting services are generally sold on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and can include services ranging from software installation
to data conversion and building non-complex interfaces to allow the software to operate in integrated environments. The Company recognizes
revenue for time-and-materials arrangements as the services are performed. In fixed fee arrangements, revenue is recognized as services
are performed as measured by costs incurred to date, compared to total estimated costs to complete the services project. Management applies
judgment when estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete the services projects. A number of internal and external
factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization and efficiency variances and specification and testing requirement
changes. Services are generally invoiced upon milestones in the contract or upon consumption of the hourly resources and payments are
typically due 30 days after invoice.
BPO
and Internet Services
Revenue
from BPO services is recognized based on the stage of completion which is measured by reference to labor hours incurred to date as a
percentage of total estimated labor hours for each contract. Internet services are invoiced either monthly, quarterly, or half yearly
in advance to the customers and revenue is recognized ratably overtime on a monthly basis.
Disaggregated
Revenue
The
Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by category — core and non-core, as it believes it best depicts how
the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Significant
Judgments
Due
to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements
may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.
Judgment
is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The Company rarely licenses or sells products on a stand-alone
basis, so the Company is required to estimate the range of SSPs for each performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly
observable because the Company does not sell the license, product, or service separately, the Company determines the SSP using information
that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. In making these judgments, the Company analyzes various factors, including
its pricing methodology and consistency, size of the arrangement, length of term, customer demographics and overall market and economic
conditions. Based on these results, the estimated SSP is set for each distinct product or service delivered to customers.
The
most significant inputs involved in the Company’s revenue recognition policies are: The (1) stand-alone selling prices of the Company’s
software license, and the (2) the method of recognizing revenue for installation/customization, and other services.
The
stand-alone selling price of the licenses was measured primarily through an analysis of pricing that management evaluated when quoting
prices to customers. Although the Company has no history of selling its software separately from post contract support and other services,
the Company does have historical experience with amending contracts with customers to provide additional modules of its software or providing
those modules at an optional price. This information guides the Company in assessing the stand-alone selling price of the Company’s
software, since the Company can observe instances where a customer had a particular component of the Company’s software that was
essentially priced separate from other goods and services that the Company delivered to that customer.
The
Company recognizes revenue from implementation and customization services using the percentage of estimated “man-days” that
the work requires. The Company believes the level of effort to complete the services is best measured by the amount of time (measured
as an employee working for one day on implementation/customization work) that is required to complete the implementation or customization
work. The Company reviews its estimate of man-days required to complete implementation and customization services each reporting period.
Revenue
is recognized over time for the Company’s subscription, post contract support and fixed fee professional services that are separate
performance obligations. For the Company’s professional services, revenue is recognized over time, generally using costs incurred
or hours expended to measure progress. Judgment is required in estimating project status and the costs necessary to complete projects.
A number of internal and external factors can affect these estimates, including labor rates, utilization, specification variances and
testing requirement changes.

If
a group of agreements are entered at or near the same time and so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single arrangement,
such agreements are deemed to be combined as one arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. The Company exercises significant judgment
to evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether agreements should be accounted for separately or as a single
arrangement. The Company’s judgments about whether a group of contracts comprise a single arrangement can affect the allocation
of consideration to the distinct performance obligations, which could have an effect on results of operations for the periods involved.
If
a contract includes variable consideration, the Company exercises judgment in estimating the amount of consideration to which the entity
will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer. When estimating variable consideration, the
Company will consider all relevant facts and circumstances. Variable consideration will be estimated and included in the contract price
only when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized will not occur.
Contract
Balances
The
timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables,
contract assets (revenues in excess of billings), or contract liabilities (unearned revenue) on the Company’s Consolidated Balance
Sheets. The Company records revenues in excess of billings when the Company has transferred goods or services but does not yet have the
right to consideration. The Company records unearned revenue when the Company has received or has the right to receive consideration
but has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer.
The
revenues in excess of billings are transferred to receivables when the rights to consideration become unconditional, usually upon completion
of a milestone.
The
Company’s revenues in excess of billings and unearned revenue are as follows:

at the beginning of the period. All other activity in unearned revenue is due to the timing of invoicing in relation to the timing of
revenue recognition.

Revenue
allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied,
or partially unsatisfied, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.
Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $ 29,053,000 as of September 30, 2023, of which the Company estimates
to recognize approximately $ 15,757,000 in revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over an estimated 3 years thereafter. Actual
revenue recognition depends in part on the timing of software modules installed at various customer sites. Accordingly, some factors
that affect the Company’s revenue, such as the availability and demand for modules within customer geographic locations, is not
entirely within the Company’s control. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing,
the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing
terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, and not to
facilitate financing arrangements.
Unearned
Revenue
The
Company typically invoices its customers for subscription and support fees in advance on a quarterly or annual basis, with payment due
at the start of the subscription or support term. Unpaid invoice amounts for non-cancelable license and services starting in future periods
are included in accounts receivable and unearned revenue.
Practical
Expedients and Exemptions
There
are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s
disclosures. The Company has applied the following practical expedients:
●
The
Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the
transfer of the promised items to the customer.
●
The
Company generally expenses sales commissions and sales agent fees when incurred when the amortization period would have been one
year or less or the commissions are based on cashed received. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
●
The
Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue
at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (applies to time-and-material engagements).
Costs
to Obtain a Contract
The
Company does not have a material amount of costs to obtain a contract capitalized at any balance sheet date. In general, the Company
incurs few direct incremental costs of obtaining new customer contracts. The Company rarely incurs incremental costs to review or otherwise
enter into contractual arrangements with customers. In addition, the Company’s sales personnel receive fees that are referred to
as commissions, but that are based on more than simply signing up new customers. The Company’s sales personnel are required to
perform additional duties beyond new customer contract inception dates, including fulfillment duties and collections efforts.

10 - LEASES
The
Company leases certain office space, office equipment and autos with remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years under leases classified
as financing and operating. For certain leases, the Company has options to extend the lease term for additional periods ranging from
one year to 10 years.
The
Company treats a contract as a lease when the contract conveys the right to use a physically distinct asset for a period of time in exchange
for consideration, or the Company directs the use of the asset and obtains substantially all the economic benefits of the asset. These
leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligation liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12
months. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the entirety of the lease term. Lease liabilities
represent the Company’s obligation to make payments over the life of the lease. A ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized
at commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the life of the lease. Initial direct costs are included
as part of the ROU asset upon commencement of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in a lease is generally not readily determinable
for the operating leases, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The incremental
borrowing rate represents the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease
term to obtain an asset of similar value.
The
Company reviews the impairment of ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for the Company’s other long-lived assets. The
Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying
value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the
carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.
The
Company elected the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases (leases with original terms of 12 months or less) from ROU asset
and lease liability accounts.
Lease
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Variable
payments change due to facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time, and do not result
in a re-measurement of lease liabilities. The Company’s variable lease payments include payments for finance leases that are adjusted
based on a change in the Karachi Inter Bank Offer Rate. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any significant residual
value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

The
Company is a lessor for certain office space leased by the Company and sub-leased to others under non-cancelable leases. These lease

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

17– INCOME TAXES
The
current tax provision is based on taxable income for the year determined in accordance with the prevailing law for taxation of income.
The charge for tax on income is calculated at the current rates of taxation as applicable after considering tax credit and tax rebates
available, if any. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate is lower than
the U.S. statutory rate primarily because of more earnings realized in countries that have lower statutory tax rates. Our effective tax
rate in the future will depend on the portion of our profits earned within and outside the United States. Income from the export of computer
software and its related services developed in Pakistan is exempt from tax through June 30, 2025; however, tax at the applicable rates
is charged to the income from revenue generated from other than core business activities.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 121,895 and $ 193,348 , respectively.
The tax is derived from non-core business activities generated from NetSol PK.

Business
Overview
NetSol
Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqCM: NTWK) is a worldwide provider of IT and enterprise software solutions. We believe that our solutions constitute
mission critical applications for clients, as they encapsulate end-to-end business processes, facilitating faster processing and increased
transactions.
Our
primary sources of revenues have been licensing, subscriptions, modification, enhancement and support of our suite of financial applications,
under the brand name NFS Ascent ® for leading businesses in the global finance and leasing space. With constant innovation
being a major part of our DNA, we have enabled NFS Ascent ® deployment on the cloud with several implementations already
live and some underway. This shift to the cloud will enable our new customers to opt for a subscription-based pricing model rather than
the traditional licensing model.
Our
clients include blue chip organizations, Dow-Jones 30 Industrials, Fortune 500 manufacturers, financial institutions, global vehicle
manufacturers and enterprise technology providers, all of which are serviced by our strategically placed support and delivery locations
around the globe.
Founded
in 1997, NetSol is headquartered in Los Angeles County, California. While the Company follows a global strategy for sales and delivery
of its portfolio of solutions and services, it continues to maintain regional offices in the following locations:
●
North
America
Encino,
California and Austin, Texas
●
Europe
London
Metropolitan area and Horsham, Flintshire
●

We
believe that our strong technology solutions offer our customers a return on their investment and allows us to thrive in a hyper competitive
and mature global marketplace. Our solutions are bolstered by our people. We believe that people are the drivers of success; therefore,
we invest heavily in our hiring, training and retention of top-notch staff to ensure not only successful selling, but also the ongoing
satisfaction of our clients. Taken together, this “selling and attentive servicing” approach creates a distinctive advantage
for us and a unique value for our customers. We continue to underpin our proven and effective business model which is a combination of
careful cost arbitrage, subject matter expertise, domain experience, scalability and proximity with our global and regional customers.
Our
primary offerings include the following:
NFS
Ascent ®
Covering
the complete finance and leasing cycle starting from quotation origination through contract settlements, NFS Ascent ® is
designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and can deal with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual, multi-distributor
and multi-manufacturer environments. The solution fully automates the entire financing/leasing cycle for companies of any size, including

lending portfolios, enabling them to thrive in hyper-competitive global markets.

banks, to run their retail and wholesale finance business with ease. With comprehensive domain coverage and powerful configuration engines,
it is well architected to empower finance and leasing companies with a platform that supports their growth in terms of business volume
and transactions.
Our
next generation platform offers a technologically advanced solution for the asset finance and leasing industry. NFS Ascent’s ®
architecture and user interfaces were designed based on our collective experience with blue chip organizations and global Fortune
500 companies over the past 40 years combined with modern UX design concepts. The platform’s framework allows auto captive and
asset finance companies to rapidly transform legacy driven technology into a state-of-the-art IT and business process environment.
Page 31
At
the core of the NFS Ascent ® platform, is a lease accounting and contract processing engine, which allows for an array
of interest calculation methods, as well as robust accounting for multi-billion-dollar lease portfolios in compliance with various regulatory
standards. NFS Ascent ® , with its distributed and clustered deployment across parallel application and high-volume data
servers, enables finance companies to process voluminous data in a hyper speed environment.
Our
premier solution has been developed using the latest tools and technologies and its n-tier SOA architecture allows the system to greatly
improve a myriad of areas including, but not limited to, scalability, performance, fault tolerance and security. NFS Ascent ®
empowers users with:
●
Improvement
in overall productivity within the delivery organization:
○
The
features of the integrated Business Process Manager, Workflow Engine, Business Rule Engine and Integration Hub provide flexibility
to our clients allowing them to configure certain parts of the application themselves rather than requesting customization.
○
The
NFS Ascent ® platform and the SOA architecture allow us to develop portals and mobile applications quickly by utilizing
our existing services.
○
The
n-tier architecture allows us to intelligently distribute processing and eases application maintenance. The loose coupling between
various modules and layers reduces the risk of regression in other parts of the system as a result of changes made in one part of
the system and follows proven and accepted SOA principles.
●
Amplified
customer satisfaction:
○
NFS
Ascent ® and NFS Digital empower not only the finance company and dealerships, but the end customer as well with self-service
digital tools allowing a seamless customer experience throughout the customer journey from origination through contract maturity.

Management
has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.
Positive
trends:
●
According
to S&P Global Mobility, new vehicles sales globally are expected to reach 84 million units in 2023 for a 5.6% increase. U.S.
sales volumes are expected to reach approximately 15 million units, an estimated increase of 8% from the projected 2022 levels.
●
Reduction
of the U.S. inflation rate over the last few months to approximately 3.7% in 2023.
●
The
U.S. market remains strong and resilient for NetSol to continue investing in building local teams for its core offerings.
●
The
Chinese car market is expected to maintain its position as the world’s largest and fastest growing, projecting 10% sales
growth to 25.5 million units, with electric vehicles (EVs) representing nearly 35% of new sales. Government incentives, reduced car
taxes, and preferential financing rates contributed to an 8.8% increase in Chinese auto sales in the first half of 2023, with total
vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, rising by 9.8% to 13.2 million.
●
The
China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) investment, initiated by China, has exceeded $65 billion investment, from the originally
planned $46 billion, in Pakistan energy and infrastructure sectors. Last June, China authorized a new $2.3 billion loan at a discounted
rate to Pakistan as a short-term loan.
●
The
overall size of the mobility market in the Europe and the United States is projected to increase over $425 billion combined, by 2035
or a compound CAGR of 5% from 2022. (Deloitte Global Automotive Mobility Market Simulation Tool).
●
The
global automotive finance market accounted for $245 billion in 2022 and is expected to more than double by 2035 at a CAGR of 7.4%
according to Precedence Research.
Negative
trends:
●
The
conflict escalating in the Middle East region has disturbed the entire area, which could cause higher global inflation amid growing
concerns over sharp rise in oil prices (Guardian, October 18, 2023).
●
The
European Union Real GDP growth is at 0.7% annual growth rate per the World Economic Report October, 2023.
●
General
economic conditions in our geographic markets; inflation, geopolitical tensions, including trade wars, tariffs and/or sanctions in
geographic areas; and, global conflicts or disasters that impact the global economy or one or more sectors of the global economy.
●
A
global recession fear impacts the future expansions and budgets in every country and every sector. The World Bank forecasts that
global growth will slow to 1.7% in 2023, down from 3% forecasted last June.
●
Continued
interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board in 2023 restricting buying power for consumers.
●
Political,
monetary, and economic challenges and higher inflation rate than other regional countries impacting Pakistan exports.
●
Inflation
and higher interest rates globally have greatly increased the cost of doing business, including salaries and benefits worldwide,
affecting profitability.
●
War
and hostility between Russia and Ukraine continue to foster global uncertainty.
●
The
Russell 2000 index, a major benchmark for U.S. stocks, turned negative for the year in late September 2023. The index’s year-to-date
performance is a loss of 0.2%.
●
Working
from the office might not return to pre-pandemic levels which may affect employee collaboration potentially lessening efficiency.
●
The
Pakistan political and economic environment will likely remain unsteady until new elections are called.
●
Continued
tensions between the U.S. and China are causing some American companies to pull out of China and move their supply chain elsewhere.

A
significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions
as described in Note 15 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening
of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also
increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to
foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing
to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing
how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from
one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period
results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported
currency and in constant currency.

reflecting an increase of $10,164 with an increase in constant currency of $76,595.
Gross

The
gross profit was $6,162,067, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with $4,251,997 for the three months ended September

months ended September 30, 2023 also increased to 43.3% from 33.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The cost of sales was
$8,080,164 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $8,454,122 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 for a decrease
of $373,958 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $1,165,567. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased from 66.5%
for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 56.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Salaries
and consultant fees decreased by $128,592 from $6,086,735 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $5,958,143 for the three months
ended September 30, 2023 and on a constant currency basis increased by $962,826. The increase on a constant currency basis is due to
annual salary raises. As a percentage of sales, salaries and consultant expense decreased from 47.9% for the three months ended September
30, 2022 to 41.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

for an increase of $268,022 with an increase in constant currency of $389,142. The increase in travel expense is due to the increase
in travel as countries have been lifting travel restrictions. As a percentage of sales, travel expense increased from 3.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 2022 to 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $140,417. The decrease is primarily attributed to the full amortization of capitalized software costs
in the quarter ending September 30, 2023.
Other
costs decreased to $1,068,671 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,320,993 for the three months ended September

2022 for a decrease of $336,800 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $284,862. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from
48.4% to 40.8%. The increase in operating expenses on a constant currency basis was primarily due to increases in selling and marketing
expenses, salaries and wages, professional services, and provision for doubtful debts, offset by a decrease in other general and administrative
expenses.

Income/Loss
from Operations
Income
from operations was $350,629 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $1,896,191 for the three months ended
September 30, 2022. This represents an increase in income of $2,246,820 with an increase in income of $125,444 on a constant currency
basis for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of sales,
income from operations was 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to loss of 14.9% for the three months ended September

Other
Income and Expense
Other
income was $62,329 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,651,568 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
This represents a decrease of $1,589,239 with a decrease of $1,570,221 on a constant currency basis. The decrease is primarily due to
the foreign currency exchange transactions. The majority of the contracts with NetSol PK are either in U.S. dollars or Euros; therefore,
the currency fluctuations will lead to foreign currency exchange gains or losses depending on the value of the PKR compared to the U.S.
dollar and the Euro. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a loss of $134,253 in foreign currency exchange
transactions compared to gain of $1,315,705 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the three months ended September 30,
2023, the value of the U.S. dollar increased 0.2% and the Euro decreased 2.6%, compared to the PKR. During the three months ended September
30, 2022, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro increased 11.0% and 4.11%, respectively, compared to the PKR.
Non-controlling
Interest
For
the three months ended September 30, 2023, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $260,173, compared to $182,758
for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in non-controlling interest is primarily due to the increase in net income
of NetSol PK.
Net
income (loss) attributable to NetSol
The
net income was $30,890 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $620,729 for the three months ended September
30, 2022. This is an increase in income of $651,619 with an increase in loss of $835,295 on a constant currency basis, compared to the
prior year. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income per share was $0.003 for basic and diluted shares compared to net
loss per share of $0.06 for basic and diluted shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
Regulation
S-K Item 10(e), “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Commission Filings,” defines and prescribes the conditions for use
of non-GAAP financial information. Our measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share meet the definition
of a non-GAAP financial measure.
We
define the non-GAAP measures as follows:
●
EBITDA
is GAAP net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
●
Non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense.
●
Adjusted
EBITDA per basic and diluted share – Adjusted EBITDA allocated to common stock divided by the weighted average shares outstanding
and diluted shares outstanding.
We
use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the business and believe that presenting non-GAAP measures provides useful information to
investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of our ongoing operations as well as useful metrics for monitoring
our performance and evaluating it against industry peers. The non-GAAP financial measures presented should be used in addition to, and
in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.
Management strongly encourages investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure in evaluating the Company.
The
non-GAAP measures reflect adjustments based on the following items:
EBITDA :
We report EBITDA as a non-GAAP metric by excluding the effect of net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization
from net income or loss because doing so makes internal comparisons to our historical operating results more consistent. In addition,
we believe providing an EBITDA calculation is a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating results of our peers.
Stock-based
compensation expense : We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expense from the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA per basic and diluted share calculations. Although stock-based compensation expense is calculated in accordance with
current GAAP and constitutes an ongoing and recurring expense, such expense is excluded from non-GAAP results because it is not an expense
which generally requires cash settlement by NetSol, and therefore is not used by us to assess the profitability of our operations. We
also believe the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides a more useful comparison of our operating results to the operating
results of our peers.
Non-controlling
interest : We add back the non-controlling interest in calculating gross adjusted EBITDA and then subtract out the income taxes, depreciation
and amortization and net interest expense attributable to the non-controlling interest to arrive at a net adjusted EBITDA.

Our
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per basic and diluted share to the most comparable
GAAP measures for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

$44,474 compared to $445,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We are operating in various geographical regions of the world
through our various subsidiaries. Those subsidiaries have financial arrangements from various financial institutions to meet both their
short and long-term funding requirements. These loans will become due at different maturity dates as described in Note 13 of the financial
statements. We are in compliance with the covenants of the financial arrangements and there is no default, which may lead to early payment
of these obligations. We anticipate paying back all these obligations on their respective due dates from its own sources.
We
typically fund the cash requirements for our operations in the U.S. through our license, services, and subscription and support agreements,
intercompany charges for corporate services, and through the exercise of options and warrants. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately
$16.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $15.2 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries.

million is held by our foreign subsidiaries.
We
remain open to strategic relationships that would provide value added benefits. The focus will remain on continuously improving cash
reserves internally and reduced reliance on external capital raise.
As
a growing company, we have on-going capital expenditure needs based on our short term and long-term business plans. Although our requirements
for capital expenses vary from time to time, for the next 12 months, we anticipate needing $2.5 million for APAC, U.S. and Europe new
business development activities and infrastructure enhancements, which we expect to provide from current operations.
