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 ($76,220) in each bank and in the UK for GBP 85,000 ($116,438) in each bank. The Company maintains two bank accounts in China and six bank accounts in the UK. As of March 31, 2021, and June 30, 2020, the Company had uninsured deposits related to cash deposits in accounts maintained within foreign entities of approximately $28,713,152 and $18,210,378, 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 convertible note receivable and the long-term debt approximate their fair values based on current interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics.

 

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021, were as follows:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total Assets 
Revenues in excess of billings - long term  $-   $-   $946,184   $946,184 
Total  $-   $-   $946,184   $946,184 

 

The Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020, were as follows:

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total Assets 
Revenues in excess of billing - long term  $-   $-   $1,300,289   $1,300,289 
Total  $-   $-   $1,300,289   $1,300,289 

 

The reconciliation from June 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

   Revenues in excess of billings - long term

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.

 

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted by the Company:

 

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 introduced a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets and held-to-maturity debt securities, which requires the Company to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 also expands disclosure requirements.

 

The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies for trade and other receivables, contract assets and convertible notes receivable. Based on the results of the Company’s evaluation, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 resulted in a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment through retained earnings of $6,784,300 to increase its allowance for credit losses related to the convertible notes receivable, interest receivable, accounts receivable, revenues in excess of billings, and other receivables.

 

The following table presents the impact of adopting ASC Topic 326 as of July 1, 2020:

 

   Adjustment 
   to Adopt 
Asset Classification  ASC Topic 326 
Allowance for credit losses - accounts receivable  $109,486 
Allowance for credit losses - accounts receivable - related party   1,282,505 
Allowance for credit losses - revenue in excess of billings - related party   8,163 
Allowance for credit losses - convertible notes receivable - related party   4,250,000 
Allowance for credit losses - other current assets   1,134,146 
   $6,784,300 

 

Accounts receivable includes trade accounts receivables from the Company’s customers, net of an allowance for credit risk. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Revenue in excess of billings, relates to services performed which were not billed, net of an allowance for credit risk. As customers are billed under the terms of the contract, the corresponding amount is transferred to accounts receivable. In establishing the required allowance, management regularly reviews the composition of and analyzes customer credit worthiness, customer concentrations, current economic trends, changes in customer payment patterns, the project status and assesses individual unbilled contract assets over a specific aging and amount. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

The convertible notes receivable represents loans provided to WRLD3D. The allowance for credit risk for the convertible notes is established based on various quantitative and qualitative factors including customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

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 subscription revenue and post contract customer 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 maintenance and services in addition to the licenses. The Company’s single performance obligation arrangements are typically maintenance 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 and Support

 

Subscription

 

Revenue from subscriptions 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.

 

Support

 

Revenue from support services and product updates, referred to as post contract customer 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, maintenance releases 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, a majority of 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.

 

The Company’s disaggregated revenue by category is as follows:

 

   For the Three Months   For the Nine Months 
   Ended March 31,   Ended March 31, 
   2021   2020   2021   2020

Total net revenue  $13,783,996   $13,530,837   $39,552,834   $42,793,272 

 

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 customer 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 recognized 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 customer 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.

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 (deferred 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 deferred 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 deferred revenue are as follows:

 

   As of   As of 
   March 31, 2021   June 30, 2020 
         
Revenues in excess of billings  $10,748,231   $18,506,733 
           
Deferred Revenue  $5,728,790   $4,095,472 

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $364,835 and $4,154,955, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period. All other activity in deferred 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 $46,352,850 as of March 31, 2021, of which the Company estimates to recognize approximately $14,216,398 in revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder over an estimated 5 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.

 

Deferred 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 deferred 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. Below is a list of practical expedients applied by the Company:

 

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 fulfilment duties and collections efforts.

NOTE 11 - 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 used the incremental borrowing rate on July 1, 2019 for all leases that commenced prior to that date. For finance leases, the Company used the incremental borrowing rate implicit in the lease.

 

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.

NOTE 18 – CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business including tax assessments. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. When (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records the estimated loss. The Company provides disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred that would be material to the financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred and whether such liability is reasonably estimable. The Company bases accruals on the best information available at the time, which can be highly subjective. The final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 19 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

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

NOTE 21 – 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 and nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $133,156 and $642,884, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of (15.8%) and 90.3%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $218,351 and $1,067,099, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.9% and 129.8%, respectively.

Page 36
 

 

Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.

 

Positive trends:

 

  NFS Ascent® SaaS offering is gaining traction in mid-size auto captives in the North American and European markets.
  Mobility and digital transformation are the new norm showing acceleration in every sector particularly in auto and banking.
  On Cloud demand for our solution is on the rise.
  COVID-19 has created new dynamics for businesses and corporations with employees and executives working from home. Essentially, the decreased office and maintenance costs, as well as the sharply reduced travel expenses, should positively impact our financials.
  COVID-19 is creating new opportunities for our R&D teams to expand and monetize mobile and digital solutions in our space and complementary sectors.
  In developing markets, new interests are emerging from existing clients for upgrades and mobility platforms.
  Growing opportunities and dynamics of shared car ownership either through ride hailing and car sharing encouraging our innovation and development tools.
  OTOZ platform is showing positive trajectory of interest from existing and new auto leasing and Tier 1 companies in all of our markets, including China, the US and Europe.
  Improved stability in U.S. and Pakistan relationship boosting confidence and trade relations.
  The China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a Chinese investment initiative, has exceeded $62 billion investment from the originally planned $46 billion on Pakistan energy and infrastructure sectors.
  China auto sector remains strong as our customers are constantly demanding ‘Change Requests’ or additional services and reflects resilience.
  Car dealerships in the U.S. reported record profits in 2020 even with reduced staff and a national recession.

 

Negative trends:

 

  The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our future business globally, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain, including but not limited to the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the availability, adoption and efficacy of vaccines, government responses and other actions to mitigate the spread of and to treat COVID-19, and when and to what extent normal business, economic and social activity and conditions resume.
  We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic impacts our customers and other partners and their financial conditions, but adverse effects on these parties could also adversely affect us.
  Most OEMs and auto sectors are experiencing a major slowdown due to lockdowns and health concerns.
  The C-level decision making to acquire new systems or even upgrade will be elongated due to uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus.
  Due to travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, it is increasingly difficult to conduct face to face meetings for global clients and new prospects removing the personal connection essential to some decision making.
  The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected live industry conferences and events, such as those held by the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA), reducing leads and market exposure.
  Working from the office poses its own risk of virus spread until it vanishes completely.
  Political actions, including trade protection and national security policies of the U.S. and Chinese governments, such as tariffs or bans could in the future limit or prevent companies from transacting business with China and aggravate the global business environment.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 19 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

This represents a decrease of $3,367,739 with a decrease of $3,453,699 on a constant currency basis. The decrease is primarily due to the interest income and foreign currency exchange transactions. We did not accrue any interest income on the convertible notes receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $96,217 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. 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.

A significant portion of our business is conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We operate in several geographical regions as described in Note 19 “Operating Segments” within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of increasing our revenues but also increasing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Similarly, strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currency exchange rates generally has the effect of reducing our revenues but also reducing our expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We plan our business accordingly by deploying additional resources to areas of expansion, while continuing to monitor our overall expenditures given the economic uncertainties of our target markets. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the changes in results from one period to another period using constant currency. In order to calculate our constant currency results, we apply the current period results to the prior period foreign currency exchange rates. In the table below, we present the change based on actual results in reported currency and in constant currency.

Revenues

 

License fees

 

License fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 were $4,710,942 compared to $2,733,998 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 reflecting an increase of $1,976,944 with a change in constant currency of $1,760,804. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized approximately $2,410,000 related to a new agreement with an existing tier one finance company in China to upgrade to our NFS Ascent® Retail and Wholesale platforms and approximately $2,100,000 related to an agreement with an existing tier one finance company in Thailand.

Subscription and support

 

Subscription and support fees for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 were $16,571,441 compared to $14,864,804 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 reflecting an increase of $1,706,637 with a change in constant currency of $1,798,851. The increase in subscription and support fees is due to going live with several markets related to the DFS contract and going live with the BMW contract. Subscription and support fees begin once a customer has “gone live” with our product. Subscription and support fees are recurring in nature, and we anticipate these fees to gradually increase as we implement both our NFS legacy products and NFS Ascent®.

 

Services

 

Services income for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $18,270,451 compared to $24,992,271 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 reflecting a decrease of $6,721,820 with a decrease in constant currency of $6,438,497. The decrease in services revenue is due to the decrease in implementation revenue associated with customers who have gone live with our products. Services revenue is derived from services provided to both current customers as well as services provided to new customers as part of the implementation process.

 

Services – related party

 

Services income from related party for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was $Nil compared to $202,199 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 reflecting a decrease of $202,199 with a change in constant currency of $202,199. The decrease in related party service revenue is due to a decrease in service revenue related to services performed for WRLD3D.

 

Gross Profit

 

The gross profit was $18,849,332, for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared with $19,934,826 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This is a decrease of $1,085,494 with a change in constant currency of $1,219,820. The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 increased to 47.7% from 46.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The cost of sales was $20,703,502 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $22,858,446 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 for a decrease of $2,154,944 and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $1,861,221. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased from 53.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to 52.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Salaries and consultant fees increased by $1,262,339 from $13,931,274 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to $15,193,613 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and on a constant currency basis increased $1,469,590. The increase is due to annual salary raises and the hiring of additional personnel to fulfill delivery requirements. As a percentage of sales, salaries and consultant expense increased from 32.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to 38.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Travel expense was $414,001 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $3,967,591 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 for a decrease of $3,553,590 with a decrease in constant currency of $3,571,101. The decrease in travel expense is due to the travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $2,180,766 compared to $2,191,654 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 or a decrease of $10,888 and on a constant currency basis an increase of $65,186.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses were $17,264,054 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $20,033,108, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 for a decrease of 13.8% or $2,769,054 and on a constant currency basis a decrease of 12.7% or $2,541,918. As a percentage of sales, it decreased from 46.8% to 43.7%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to decreases in selling and marketing expenses, professional services, research and development and general and administrative expenses.

 

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $426,187 or 8.2% and on a constant currency basis decreased $399,596 or 7.7%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses based on constant currency is due to a decrease in travel expenses and business development costs to market and sell NFS Ascent® globally.

General and administrative expenses were $11,353,933 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $12,638,797 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 for a decrease of $1,284,864 or 10.1% and on a constant currency basis a decrease of $1,081,337 or 8.6%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction of approximately $320,000 related to a withholding tax on dividends paid by NetSol PK, approximately $351,000 of reduced travel expenses, approximately $92,000 of reduced professional services, approximately $302,000 related to the decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts and approximately $104,000 reduction in rent expense offset by an increase in salaries of approximately $113,000.

 

Income/Loss from Operations

 

Income from operations was $1,585,278 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a loss of $98,282 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This represents an increase of $1,683,560 with an increase of $1,322,098 on a constant currency basis for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2020. As a percentage of sales, income from operations was 4.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a loss of 0.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Other expense was $873,275 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to other income of $920,151 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This represents a decrease of $1,793,426 with a decrease of $1,926,494 on a constant currency basis. The decrease is primarily due to the interest income and foreign currency exchange transactions. We did not accrue any interest income on the convertible notes receivable for the nine months ended March 31, 2021compared to $275,704 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a loss of $1,515,327 in foreign currency exchange transactions compared to a gain of $71,765 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the value of the U.S. dollar and the Euro decreased 8.0% and 1.9%, respectively, compared to the PKR. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the value of the U.S. dollar increased 2.0% and the value of the Euro decreased 1.3%, respectively, compared to the PKR.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $216,900, compared to a loss of $4,065 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. 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 loss was $147,781 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a net loss of $241,565 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This is a decrease in the net loss of $93,384 with an increase in the net loss of $412,673 on a constant currency basis, compared to the prior year. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, net loss per share was $0.01 for basic and diluted shares compared to $0.02 for basic and diluted shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

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 and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10,387,344 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $411,119 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, we had current assets of $55,561,592 and current liabilities of $25,564,816. We had accounts receivable of $12,176,722 at March 31, 2021 compared to $11,414,257 at June 30, 2020. We had revenues in excess of billings of $10,748,231 at March 31, 2021 compared to $18,506,733 at June 30, 2020 of which $946,184 and $1,300,289 is shown as long term as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The long-term portion was discounted by $75,727 and $41,286 at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, using the discounted cash flow method with interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 6.25% at March 31, 2021, and an interest rate of 4.35% at June 30, 2020. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, our revenues in excess of billings were reclassified to accounts receivable pursuant to billing requirements detailed in each contract. The combined totals for accounts receivable and revenues in excess of billings decreased by $6,996,037 from $29,920,990 at June 30, 2020 to $22,924,953 at March 31, 2021. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $6,156,782 and $12,634,914, respectively at March 31, 2021. Accounts payable and accrued expenses, and current portions of loans and lease obligations amounted to $5,680,837 and $9,139,561, respectively at June 30, 2020.

 

The average days sales outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were 183 and 201 days, respectively, for each period.

We had purchases of property and equipment of $2,109,058 compared to $1,011,285 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we invested $Nil and $600,000, respectively, in a short-term convertible note receivable from WRLD3D. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we invested $155,500 and $Nil, respectively, in DriveMate.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $488,572 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $18,080, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we purchased 603,688 shares of our own stock for $2,064,800 compared to $Nil for the same period last year. The nine months ended March 31, 2021 included the cash inflow of $2,109,572 from bank proceeds compared to $2,312,968 for the same period last year. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we had net payments for bank loans and finance leases of $533,344 compared to $422,051 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. 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 15 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 March 31, 2021, we had approximately $30.6 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $28.7 million is held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $20.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of which approximately $18.2 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 million for APAC, U.S. and Europe new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements, which we expect to provide from current operations.

 

While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to us, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market uncertainties. However, we are very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared applying certain critical accounting policies. The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies require numerous estimates and strategic or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or subject to variations and may significantly affect our reported results and financial position for the period or in future periods. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on our future financial condition and results of operations. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they conform to general practices in our industry. We apply critical accounting policies consistently from period to period and intend that any change in methodology occur in an appropriate manner. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies and estimates as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
