NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing, banking, healthcare, and financial services industries worldwide.  The Company also provides system integration, consulting, IT products and services in exchange for fees from customers.
 
The consolidated condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these consolidated condensed 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, 2010.  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 NetSol Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as follows:
 
Wholly-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies North America, Inc. (“NTNA”)
NetSol Technologies Limited (“NetSol UK”)
NetSol Connect (Private), Ltd. (“Connect)
NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. (“Abraxas”)
NetSol Technologies Europe Limited (“NTE”)
NTPK (Thailand) Co. Limited (“NTPK Thailand”)
 
Majority-owned Subsidiaries
NetSol Technologies, Ltd. (“NetSol PK”)
NetSol Innovation (Private) Limited (“NetSol Innovation”)
 
For comparative purposes, prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current year.
 
NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES:
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
 
In October 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to revenue recognition that will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB amended guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In December 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to fair value measurements and Disclosures, which was effective beginning the 2nd quarter of the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, December 31, 2009. These amendments prescribe new disclosures and clarify certain existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The objective of the amendments was to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
In February 2010, the FASB amended guidance related to disclosure of subsequent events, which was effective upon issuance. These amendments prescribe that entities that are SEC filers are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE:
 
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, warrants, and stock awards.
 
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

As there is a loss, these securities are anti-dilutive.  The basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the three months ended September 30, 2009
             
NOTE 5 – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & FOREIGN CURRENCY:
 
The accounts of NetSol UK and NTE use the British Pound; NetSol PK, Connect, and NetSol Innovation use Pakistan Rupees; and Abraxas uses the Australian dollar as the functional currencies.  NetSol Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary, NTNA, use the U.S. dollar as the functional currency.  Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and operating results are translated at the average exchange rate throughout the period.  Accumulated translation losses are classified as an item of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet were $8,665,100 and $8,396,086 as of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 respectively.

WARRANTS
 
During the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company amended the terms of warrant agreements associated with common stock issued in October, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the exercise price was reduced to $0.31 from $0.63, resulting in a corresponding increase in the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants by 3,274,682. The above holders opted cashless exercise of 600,000 warrants and as a consequence 466,571 shares were issued.
 
(B) EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
In May 2008, the shareholders approved the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) which provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards or performance share awards or any other right or interest relating to shares or cash, to eligible participants. The aggregate number of shares reserved and available for award under the 2008 Plan is 1,000,000 (the Share Reserve). The 2008 Plan contemplates the issuance of common stock upon exercise of options or other awards granted to eligible persons under the 2008 Plan. Shares issued under the 2008 Plan may be both authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company. Upon termination or expiration of an unexercised option, stock appreciation right or other stock-based award under the 2008 Plan, in whole or in part, the number of shares of common stock subject to such award again become available for grant under the 2008 Plan. Any shares of restricted stock forfeited as described below will become available for grant. The maximum number of shares that may be granted to any one participant in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares. All options issued pursuant to the Plan are nontransferable and subject to forfeiture.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
Options granted under the 2008 Plan are not generally transferable and must be exercised within 10 years, subject to earlier termination upon termination of the option holder's employment, but in no event later than the expiration of the option's term. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (except in connection with the assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Incentive stock options granted to any participant who owns 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock (a Ten Percent Shareholder) must have an exercise price equal to or exceeding 110% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant and must not be exercisable for longer than five years. Options become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the 2008 Plan is ten years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder must have a term not exceeding five years.
 
PERFORMANCE AWARDS
 
Under the 2008 Plan, a participant may also be awarded a "performance award," which means that the participant may receive cash, stock or other awards contingent upon achieving performance goals established by the Committee. The Committee may also make "deferred share" awards, which entitle the participant to receive our stock in the future for services performed between the date of the award and the date the participant may receive the stock. The vesting of deferred share awards may be based on performance criteria and/or continued service with our Company. A participant who is granted a "stock appreciation right" under the Plan has the right to receive all or a percentage of the fair market value of a share of stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right minus the grant price of the stock appreciation right determined by the Committee (but in no event less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant). Finally, the Committee may make "restricted stock" awards under the 2008 Plan, which are subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines and as are set forth in the award agreement related to the restricted stock. As of September 30, 2010, 789,500 shares have been issued under this plan.

NetSol combines domain expertise, not only with lowest cost blended rates from its design centers and campuses located around the world, but also with the guarantee of localized program and project management while minimizing any implementation risk associated with a single service center.  Our BestShoring® approach, which we consider a unique and cost effective global development model, is leading the way, providing value added solutions for Global Business Services™ through a win-win partnership, rather than the traditional outsourced vendor framework.  Our focus on “Solutions” serves to ensure the most favorable pricing while delivering in-depth domain experience.  NetSol currently has locations in Bangkok, Beijing, Lahore, London, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Adelaide to best serve its clients and partners worldwide.  This provides NetSol customers with the optimum balance of subject matter expertise, in-depth domain experience, and cost effective labor, all merged into a scalable solution.  In this way, “BestShoring® delivers BestSolution™”.

In addition to services, our product offerings are fashioned to provide a Best Product for Best Solution model.  Our offerings include our flagship global solution, NetSol Financial Suite (NFS™). NFS™, a robust suite of five software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry covering the complete leasing and finance cycle starting from quotation origination through end of contract. The five software applications under NFS™ have been designed and developed for a highly flexible setting and are capable of dealing with multinational, multi-company, multi-asset, multi-lingual, multi-distributor and multi-manufacturer environments.  Each application is a complete system in itself and can be used independently to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle.  NFS™ is a result of more than eight years of effort resulting in over 60 modules grouped in five comprehensive applications. These five applications are complete systems in themselves and can be used independently to exhaustively address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. When used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle.
 
The NetSol Financial Suite™ also includes LeasePak.  LeasePak provides the leasing technology industry with the development of Web-enabled and Web-based tools to deliver superior customer service, reduce operating costs, streamline the lease management lifecycle, and support collaboration with origination channel and asset partners.  LeasePak can be configured to run on HP-UX, SUN/Solaris or Linux, as well as for Oracle and Sybase users.  In terms of scalability, NetSol Technologies North America offers the basic product as well as a collection of highly specialized add on modules for systems, portfolios and accrual methods for virtually all sizes and complexities of operations. These solutions provide the equipment and vehicle leasing infrastructure at leading Fortune 500 banks and manufacturers, as well as for some of the industry’s leading independent lessors.

To further bolster NetSol’s Solutions capabilities, in October 2008, NetSol acquired Ciena Solutions, a preferred SAP and Business Objects integration firm. The Ciena Solutions practice is now integrated into our wholly owned subsidiary, NetSol Technologies North America, Inc.  This acquisition expanded NetSol’s domain and subject matter expertise to include integration and consulting services for:
 
 
·
SAP R/3 System deployments
 
·
NetWeaver
 
·
Exchange Infrastructure Portals
 
·
MySAP Business Suite
 
·
Supplier Relationship Management Module
 
·
Client Relationship Management Module
 
·
SAP/Business Objects Products and related Services
 
In addition to this expansion of SAP-centric integration consulting and services, this practice has developed proprietary intellectual property in the form of designs and source code focused on enhancing SAP-centric procurement activities.
 
The introduction of a major new product, smartOCI™, has emerged from this integration.  smartOCI™ is a new search engine technology developed by NetSol which provides corporate buyers and shoppers a simple and intuitive user interface to search multiple supplier catalogs simultaneously within the SAP SRM application.  The launch of smartOCI™ at the SAP SAPPHIRE Conference in Orlando, Florida, targeting approximately 1,000 SAP SRM platform customers has the strengthened NetSol’s presence in the global SAP Services market.
 
The Company continues its efforts to reduce redundancy and cohesively present services and product operations on a global basis. This consolidation enables the Company to coordinate and streamline product, service and marketing while taking further advantage of the cost arbitrage offered by our highly trained, highly productive, Pakistani resources.  This consolidation follows the successful integration of the operations acquired in the United Kingdom and the San Francisco Bay Area in California and facilitates the use of these regional offices as platforms for presenting an expanding services offering, relying on the experience and resources in Pakistan and our product offerings in North America and Europe.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
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 San Francisco Bay area, California for North America and the parent headquarters in Calabasas, California; Horsham, United Kingdom, for Europe; and, our “center of excellence” operation in Lahore, Pakistan for Asia Pacific. The Company continues to maintain services or products and specific sales offices in Australia, China, Thailand, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and in any other country on an as needed basis.
 
Marketing and Business Development Activities:
 
Management undertook major steps to sustain growth in the global markets:
 
 
o
In 2009-2010, to enhance productivity and cost efficiencies, the concept of Global Delivery Model was implemented.   Without moving the source codes of US products or UK products to Lahore, Pakistan, we have integrated the local developers / engineers / programming resources with PK technology group teams. This model would eventually create much stronger band width for customers worldwide but also have the same interfacing local management available for regional clients. In essence, the concept of BestShoring® model is effectively being executed.
 
 
o
The global delivery model would further streamline the cost base as well as optimum utilization of NetSol Center of Excellence, CMMI Level 5 technology campus and translate into better and more competitive pricing modules for our customers.

 
o
The remarkable success and demand of NFS™ in China has led to long term planning to expand in the Chinese market. The overall steady economic growth in China and historic transformation of the auto sector (China outsold cars against the United States in number of units in 2009) combined with growing consumer spending, warrants the hire of additional local Chinese staff and infrastructure improvement. Management is poised to create a ‘proximity development center’ or PDC and clients support team to better serve our growing customers base.
 
 
o
In addition to further penetrating auto captive market in China, NetSol has entered a new segment of big ticket leasing with the successful implementation of NFS™ at Minsheng Financial leasing. Minsheng is the 4th largest big ticket leasing company in China. The three major sectors of focus in China will be banking, auto finance and equipment finance.
 
 
o
Thailand is a new emerging market for banking and auto finance. NetSol has a modest presence in Bangkok and is operating under NetSol Thai, a recently formalized wholly owned subsidiary of NTI. The management has started to grow the region by adding a few Thai nationals as staff members and experienced business executives from within NetSol. The pipeline of new customers is growing from the markets in Japan, South Korea and India. These markets will be serviced and supported from the Thailand office.
 
 
o
NetSol North American operation has taken critical steps to further enhance the service levels of the local technical team with effective integration of the NetSol PK center of excellence.  This strategy has impressively added accretive revenue and interest from current major customers. While the overall market is still going through consolidation and correction, the NetSol team in the US is successfully executing on efforts to grow from its existing client base.
 
 
o
NetSol in North America has effectively established a relationship with senior management in SAP to build smartOCI™, a new search engine procurement technology for major corporations. In addition, NetSol is pursuing major alliances to grow the NFS™ business through this relationship in various global markets.

 
o
Marketing and branding efforts will be resumed to generate new leads and demand of NetSol offerings in both matured and emerging markets. During the recession in 2008-2009, most of these activities were abandoned.

Improving the Bottom Line:
 
These measures will improve the bottom line ongoing basis:
 
 
·
Improve pricing, sales volume and fee structures.
 
·
Continue consolidation and reevaluating operating margins as ongoing activities.
 
·
Streamline further cost of goods sold to improve gross margins to historical levels over 70%, as sales ramp up.
 
·
Generate higher revenues per employee, enhance productivity and lower cost per employee.
 
·
Optimize the utilization of NetSol PK resources, infrastructure, processes and disciplines to maximize the bottom-line and fully leverage the cost arbitrage.
 
·
Grow process automation and leverage the best practices of CMMI level 5. Global delivery concept and integration will further improve both gross and net margins.
 
·
Cost efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation to improve bottom line.
 
·
Retire Debt to reduce the interest cost significantly and to make every effort to avoid any one time charges.
 
Management continues to be focused on building its delivery capability and has achieved key milestones in that respect.  Key projects are being delivered on time and on budget, quality initiatives are succeeding, especially in maturing internal processes.
 
In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, CMMI level companies are reassessed every three years by independent consultants under the standards of the Carnegie Mellon University to maintain its CMMI Level 5 quality certification.  As required, NetSol was reassessed in 2010 and was successfully recertified as CMMI Level 5.  We believe that the CMMI standards are a key reason in NetSol’s demand surge worldwide. We remain convinced that this trend will continue for all NetSol offerings promoting further beneficial alliances and increasing the number and quality of our global customers.  The quest for quality standards is imperative to NetSol’s overall sustainability and success.  In 2008, NetSol became ISO 27001 certified, a global standard and a set of best practices for Information Security Management.
 
MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL
 
Management has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol.
 
Positive trends:
 
 
·
The global recession and consolidations have opened doors for low cost solution providers such as NetSol. The BestShoring® model of NetSol is a catalyst in today’s environment.
 
 
·
The global economic pressures and recession has shifted IT processes and technology to utilize both offshore and onshore solutions providers, to control the costs and improve ROIs.
 
 
·
China has become the second largest economy and has grown to over 9% GDP a year while other industrial nations have declined or grown marginally.
 
 
·
China’s automobile and banking sectors have been unaffected by the global meltdown and in fact have outgrown all other economies with their recent automobile sales statistics.
 
 
·
As reported by the Associated Press, China surpassed the US as the number one automobile market in auto sales.  JD Powers & Associates anticipated further strong growth in auto sales for the upcoming years.  It is anticipated that this market opportunity will result in further penetration by NetSol into China’s burgeoning leasing and finance market.
 
 
·
The surviving IT companies, such as NetSol, with price advantage and a global presence, will gain further momentum as economic indicators turn positive. The bigger customers and targeted verticals are much more cost conscious and are seeking a better rate of return on investments in IT services. NetSol has an edge due to its BestShoring® model and proven track record of delivery and implementations worldwide.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
 
·
NetSol has never lost a product customer despite the recent severe recession. The dependency of our blue chip clients on NetSol solutions has further elevated new enhancements and services orders in the US.
 
 
·
Improved outlook and earnings of bell weather technology companies in USA, reflecting the turnaround of this sector after recession.
 
 
·
The aid and support of trade in Pakistan from countries like the US, China, Saudi Arabia and other western and friendly countries seems to be growing recently. This will positively affect NetSol, local employees and customers worldwide. Pakistan has every potential to rise up as the plans for energy, power, agriculture and infrastructures (including 12 new dams to be built by Chinese companies) create a much better outlook and growth for Pakistan.

 
·
US AID and many other western agencies are diligently assisting the Pakistani people to improve literacy, education, poverty alleviation and healthcare programs. These initiatives will necessarily result in more graduates in science and technology areas.
 
 
·
Global opportunities to diversify delivery capabilities in new emerging economies that offer geopolitical stability and low cost IT resources reducing dependency upon Lahore technology campus.
 
 
·
Our global multi-national clients have continued to pursue deeper relationships in newer regions and countries. This reflects our customers’ dependencies and satisfaction with our NetSol Financial Suite of products.
 
 
·
The levy of Indian IT sector excise tax of 35% (NASSCOM) on software exports is very positive for NetSol. In Pakistan there is a 15 year tax holiday on IT exports of services. There are 7 more years remaining on this tax incentive.
 
Negative trends:
 
 
·
Geo political unrest due to extremism in the regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
 
·
The flooding disaster in Pakistan, due to heavy monsoon rainfall, has affected more than 20 million people. The rebuilding of the affected areas will distract the government of Pakistan and major resources will be diverted to deal with the aftermath of this disaster. Accordingly, management expects delays in major public and defense projects.
 
·
The emergence of many smaller players offering IT solutions in China has resulted in competition in pricing.
 
·
The sluggish European market, due to debt crisis, could lead to our European business suffering.
 
·
Dramatic and deep global recession has created a serious decline in business spending causing significant budget cuts for many of the Company’s target verticals.
 
·
Tightened liquidity and credit restrictions in consumer spending has either delayed or reduced spending on business solutions and systems squeezing IT budgets and elongating decision making cycles.
 
·
Tighter internal processes and budgets will cause delays in the receivables from few clients.
 
·
Challenged US auto sectors, banking and retail sectors, thus resulting in longer sales and closing cycles.
 
·
Anticipated worsening US deficit and rise in inflation in coming years would further put stress on consumers and business spending.
 
·
Unrest and growing war in Afghanistan could increase the migration of both refugees and extremists to Pakistan, thus creating domestic and regional challenges.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition and multiple element arrangements, intangible assets, software development costs, and goodwill.

NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
 
REVENUE RECOGNTION
 
The Company recognizes revenue from license contracts without major customization when a non-cancelable, non-contingent license agreement has been signed, delivery of the software has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method.
 
Revenue from consulting services is recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts. Revenue from training and development services is recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from maintenance agreements is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement, which in most instances is one year.
 
MULTIPLE ELEMENT ARRANGEMENTS
 
We enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a number of different combinations of software licenses, consulting services, maintenance and support, as well as training and development (multiple-element arrangements).
 
VSOE of fair value for each element is based on the price for which the element is sold separately. We determine the VSOE of fair value of each element based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When VSOE of fair value does not exist for any undelivered element, revenue is deferred until the earlier of the point at which such VSOE of fair value exists or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. The only exception to this guidance is when the only undelivered element is maintenance and support or other services, then, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, and customer lists. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life and are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.
 
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
Costs incurred to internally develop computer software products or to enhance an existing product are recorded as research and development costs and expensed when incurred until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, all software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers.
 
The Company makes on-going evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized and purchased computer software development costs are being amortized ratably based on the projected revenue associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization.
 
GOODWILL
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase businesses combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.

The Company does not anticipate plans to pursue new financing in the upcoming quarter.   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 working capital of $5.0 to $7.0 million for US, European and UAE, new business development activities and infrastructure enhancements.
 
While there is no guarantee that any of these methods will result in raising sufficient funds to meet our capital needs or that even if available will be on terms acceptable to the Company, we will be very cautious and prudent about any new capital raise given the global market declines.  However, the Company is very conscious of the dilutive effect and price pressures in raising equity-based capital.
