Complementing our significant financial progress, we recently launched our new BestShoring(TM) strategic initiative that represents our best practices approach to delivering our customers the BestSolution(TM). Unlike traditional outsourcing offshore vendors, BestShoring(TM) reflects our ability to draw upon NetSol's global delivery infrastructure, expertise, and workforce to construct the best possible solution at the best possible price.

"Additionally, during the quarter we made key strategic investments in our North American operations to strengthen and expand our presence in the region, a critical market for NetSol's future growth. To support this effort we made several key North American management appointments, including Greg Brinton as head of sales and Morgan Rees as senior vice president of marketing, working under the leadership of Mitch Van Wye, our chief operating officer in the region. We see these additions to NetSol's management, as well as our investments in infrastructure, as critical to supporting our long-term growth throughout the Americas, as well as supporting our new globally-focused BestShoring(TM) customer solutions. We are offering BestShoring(TM) enterprise solutions and global business services to both new clients in various vertical markets and our 35 plus existing clients in North America.

"As a global enterprise, it is NetSol's goal to progress with our operational objectives for each division while sustaining profitability and delivering excellent financial results.
