Najeeb Ghauri, NetSol Technologies chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "NetSol delivered a truly outstanding performance in fiscal 2008, complemented by a strong fourth quarter, as we delivered record revenue, GAAP net income and EBITDA results, all meeting or exceeding our projected full year financial guidance. These exceptional financial results were supported by our ability to execute on our strategic product and growth objectives while further strengthening our global client servicing and delivery platform. The strength of our core NetSol financial suite of products helped drive double-digit annual growth in license, service and maintenance revenues. This was complemented by the rollout of our new BestShoring(TM) business model and Global Business Services platform which reflect our continued focus on meeting our international clients' needs for local expertise matched with high quality offshore delivery capabilities. Our success in executing during fiscal 2008 was highlighted by rising average deal sizes as well as the expansion or penetration of business verticals such as finance, e-government and healthcare. We continue to diversify our revenue streams geographically as well as by customer focus as we expand NetSol's presence globally, while also meeting our financial growth objectives.

"We are reiterating our fiscal year 2009 financial guidance and believe that our current business backlog, strong pipeline, expanded product and service offerings, combined with our 2009 strategic growth initiatives, will provide a solid platform to meet these ambitious goals. From a strategic perspective, we are continuing to invest in our sales and marketing resources to support our core operating divisions, particularly in North America where we recently announced the opening of our new global operating headquarters, while penetrating new growth markets such as the Middle East as well as Central and South America. Overall, we continue to focus on diversifying our customer base and client delivery centers to support our global growth initiatives. I am extremely pleased with our fiscal 2008 performance and believe NetSol has never been better positioned as we look to leverage the opportunities we are seeing in the international markets for fiscal 2009," concluded Mr. Ghauri.

NetSol reported record consolidated revenues of $10.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, a 23% increase compared to the $8.6 million in revenues reported for the same period a year ago. Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter was approximately $5.8 million, or 55% of total revenues.

U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 was approximately $2.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, which compares to GAAP net income of $1.3 million or $0.07 per diluted share, in the same period of fiscal year 2007. NetSol reported EBITDA of $3.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 compared to EBITDA of $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the year ago period.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company uses EBITDA as a measure of the Company's operating trends. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or of financial performance under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The EBITDA numbers presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
