These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, those listed under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "proposed," "intended," or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other "forward-looking" information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this prospectus could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The following summary contains basic information about NetSol and this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. For a more complete understanding of the risks associated with investing in us, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "Risk Factors" starting on page 4. We are an end-to-end information technology ("IT") and business consulting services provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries. We operate on a global basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, East Asia and Asia Pacific. We help our clients identify, evaluate, and implement technology solutions to meet their most critical business challenges and maximize their bottom line. Our products include sophisticated software applications for the asset-based lease and finance industry. By utilizing our worldwide resources, we believe we are able to deliver high quality, cost-effective IT services, ranging from consulting and application development to systems integration and outsourcing. We have achieved the ISO 9001 and SEI (Software Engineering Institute) Capable Maturity Model ("CMM") Level 3 certifications. Additionally, through our IP Backbone, located in Karachi, Pakistan, we offer a package of wireless broadband services, which include high-speed Internet access, support and maintenance. Our subsidiary, Network Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a Pakistan Limited Company, ("NetSol PK"), develops the majority of our software. NetSol PK was the first company in Pakistan to achieve the ISO 9001 and SEI CMM Level 4 software development assessment. As maintained by the SEI, maturity levels measure the maturity of a software company's methodology that in turn ensures enhanced product quality resulting in faster project turn-a-round and a shortened time to market. During recent years, we have focused on developing software applications for the leasing and financial service industries. In late 2002, we launched a new suite of software products under the name LeaseSoft. The LeaseSoft suite is comprised of four major integrated asset based leasing/financing software applications. The suite, consisting of a Credit Application Creation System (LeaseSoft.CAC), a Credit Application Processing System (LeaseSoft.CAP), a Contract Activation & Management System (LeaseSoft.CAM) and a Wholesale Finance System (LeaseSoft.WFS), whether used alone or together, provides the user with an opportunity to address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle from the credit approval process through the tracking of the finance contract and asset. 1 In February 2005, We acquired 100% of CQ Systems Ltd., an IT products and service company based in the UK. As a result of this acquisition, we have access to a broad European customer base using IT solutions complementary to NetSol's LeaseSoft product. We plan to leverage CQ Systems' knowledge base and strong presence in the Asset Finance market to launch LeaseSoft in the UK and continental Europe. CQ's strong sales and marketing capability would further help us gain immediate recognition and positioning for the LeaseSoft suite of products. CQ provides sophisticated accounting and administrative software, along with associated services, to leasing and finance companies located in Europe, Asia and Africa. The products include software modules for asset finance, consumer finance, motor finance, general finance and insurance premium finance. The modules provide an end-to-end contractual solution - from underwriting, contract administration and accounting, through asset disposal and remarketing. Customers include notable European companies such as Scania Finance GB, DaimlerChrysler Services, Broadcastle PLC, Bank of Scotland Equipment Finance and Deutsche Leasing Ltd. The acquisition closed on February 22, 2005 based on March 31, 2004 financial statements of CQ Systems Ltd. with the payment of approximately $1.7 million in cash and 675,292 shares of Company common stock based on a $2.46 per share cost basis. The final payment of consideration will be made after the completion of CQ's March 31, 2006 fiscal year end. With the acquisition of Pearl Treasury System, whose product offering is now referred to as InBanking(TM), we expand our menu of software into the banking and other financial areas. PTS was originally developed on two tier client server technologies and was designed to provide full process automation and decision support in the front, middle and back offices of treasury and capital markets operations. On an internal review of PTS post acquisition, it was decided to re-write the system within .NET technologies, bringing the system into the leading edge n-tier/browser-based environment. The project name for this program is InBanking(TM), and the Phase One deliverables are nearing completion. InBanking(TM) has more than 70 person years of development effort and $4 million already invested. We market our software products worldwide to companies primarily in the automobile finance, leasing and banking industries. In February 2003, we successfully implemented our LeaseSoft.CAM for Daimler Chrysler Singapore and received a fee in excess of $2 million. Some of our other customers include: Mercedes Benz Finance - Japan; Yamaha Motors Finance - Australia; Tung-Yang Leasing Company Taiwan; Debis Portfolio Systems - UK; DaimlerChrysler Services - Australia; DaimlerChrysler Leasing - Thailand; DaimlerChrysler Services - Korea; UMF Leasing Singapore; and, DaimlerChrysler Services New Zealand. In addition, NetSol provides offshore development and customized I/T solutions to blue chip customers such as Citibank Pakistan, DCD Holding UK and Habib Allied Bank UK. With the acquisition of Altvia Technologies, Inc. (now NetSol USA) in June 2003, we believe we acquired, as clients, some of the most well known higher education and telecommunications associations based on the east coast of the United States. We are also a strategic business partner for DaimlerChrysler Services AG, which consists of a group of many companies, including some of the ones referred to above. We have recently added a few new customers such as TIG of the United Kingdom, AMF of Australia, Capital Stream from the United States and a few other in the US and Asia. Additionally, new strategic relationships were formed with Intel Pakistan and Hyundai IT of Korea We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 18, 1997. Our principal executive offices are located at 23901 Calabasas Road, Suite 2072, Calabasas, California 91302. Our telephone phone number is (818) 222-9195 and our website address is http://www.netsoltek.com.

Of the total amount offered, 645,161 shares of common stock are issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures sold by NetSol in a private placement in March 2004 and 322,581 shares of common stock are issuable to such selling stockholders upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with that placement; 386,362 shares of common stock were issued in a private placement which closed in May 2004, and 193,182 shares of common stock are issuable to the selling stockholders upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the private placement. Maxim Group LLC served as NetSol's placement agent in connection with such private placements and, its nominee, Maxim Partners, was issued warrants to purchase up to 74,545 shares of common stock in connection with their services. 50,000 shares of common stock were acquired by an individual non-U.S. resident investor in exchange for the payment of a tax liability owed by our Pakistani subsidiary. 45,195 shares of common stock were acquired by a selling stockholder in a settlement agreement between NetSol and the selling stockholder entered into in October 2003. The shares of our common stock are being registered to permit the selling stockholders to sell the shares from time to time in the public market. The selling stockholders will determine the timing and amount of any sale. Common Stock We had 14,093,711 shares of common stock issued and outstanding outstanding as of December 16, 2005. Use of We will not receive any of the proceeds from sale of shares of Proceeds common stock offered by the selling stockholders. Trading Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market Market under the trading symbol "NTWK." Risk Factors Investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus as well as other information set forth in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes. 3 RISK FACTORS An investment in our securities is extremely risky. You should carefully consider the following risks, in addition to the other information presented in this prospectus, before deciding to buy our securities. If any of the following risks actually materialize, our business and prospects could be seriously harmed and, as a result, the price and value of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are intended to be the material risks that are specific to us and to our industry. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS We May Have Difficulty Raising Needed Capital in the Future, Which Could Significantly Harm Our Business. We will require additional financing in order to support further expansion, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. Our ability to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business performance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of our securities, control of NetSol may change and stockholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and remain in business. We Will Require Additional Financing; We May Not Achieve Profitability; We Anticipate Continued Losses; Current Liabilities Exceed Current Assets. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, we had a positive working capital of $410,991 and $3,458,300. We have current short-term bank notes of $389,089 due within six months. We had a net loss of $2,137,506 in fiscal 2003, a net loss of $2,577,058 in fiscal 2004, and a net income of $663,325 for the year ended June 30, 2005. In addition, we continue to operate at a deficit on a monthly basis, which is not expected to change in the foreseeable future, even with the implementation of our current business plan. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations" on page 30 of this prospectus for further information about our current business plan. Notwithstanding that we raised $2,050,000 in March through May 2004, we may need to raise additional funds in the amount of at least $2.0 million to continue operations and to expand and invest in the growth of our business for the next year. Additionally, we required a minimum of $2,000,000 to close the acquisition of CQ Systems Ltd. We cannot assure you that we can sustain or increase profitability. If revenues grow slower than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. Although we have improved our financials steadily in last few quarters, no assurance can be given that we will continue to improve our financial condition. We May Not Be Able To Realize The Benefits Of Our Strategic Plan. As discussed in "Description of Business" starting on page 39, after the restructuring undertaken in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, we have undertaken a business plan designed to optimize this restructuring. Although our management is confident about our ability to realize some benefits from the restructuring, the level of benefits to be realized could be affected by a number of factors including, without limitation: (a) our ability to raise sufficient funds; (b) our ability to continue to operate as planned without further stockholder hostile takeover attempts; (c) our ability to prosper given the current uncertainty in the US technology industry; and, (d) our ability to react effectively to the global political and business effects of the political events around the world and particularly in Pakistan. We Depend Heavily On A Limited Number Of Client Projects And The Loss Of Any Such Projects Would Adversely Affect Our Operating Results. As of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we derived approximately 35%, of our net revenues from DaimlerChrysler (which consists of a group of companies and clients). DaimlerChrysler consists of a number of companies, each of which are uniquely different customers and none of which represents greater than 10% of our net revenues. We continue to enhance our relationship with DaimlerChrysler to provide software and support services to them on a global basis. This may increase our reliance on DaimlerChrysler as a revenue source. We also have other significant clients whose business is critical to our success. The loss of any of our principal clients for any reason, including as a result of the acquisition of that client by another entity, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 4 If Any Of Our Clients Terminate Their Contracts With Us, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected. Many of our clients have the ability to cancel certain of their contracts with us with limited advance notice and without significant penalty. Any such termination could result in a loss of expected revenues related to that client's project. A cancellation or a significant reduction in the scope of a large project could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If We Are Unable To Protect Our Proprietary Software, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected. Our success as a company depends, in part, upon our work product being deemed proprietary software, along with other intellectual property rights. While both the LeaseSoft and NetSol trade names and marks are copyrighted and trademarked in Pakistan, and we have filed an application for the registration of the inBanking trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, we have not registered any trademarks or filed any copyrights in any other jurisdictions. We rely on a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, and common law intellectual property, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect our proprietary rights. As a matter of course, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, and require that our consultants and clients enter into similar agreements. We also limit access to our proprietary information. There can be no assurance that these steps will be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. In addition, although we believe that our services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that infringement claims will not be asserted against us in the future, or that if asserted, any such infringement claim will be successfully defended. The cost of defending any such suit will have a negative impact, even if ultimately successful. A successful claim against us could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If NetSol cannot protect its proprietary information, others could copy our software and compete with us in providing both software and services. We May Not Have The Right To Resell Or Reuse Software Developed For Specific Clients. A portion of our business involves the development of software for specific client engagements. Ownership of these solutions is the subject of negotiation and is frequently assigned to the client, although we may retain a license for certain uses. Some clients have prohibited us from marketing the software developed for them for specified periods of time or to specified third parties. There can be no assurance that our clients will not demand similar or other restrictions in the future. Issues relating to the ownership of and rights to use our software solutions can be complicated and there can be no assurance that potential disputes will not affect our ability to resell or reuse these software solutions. While we have not incurred such expense in the past, limitations on our ability to resell or reuse software solutions could require us to incur additional expenses to develop new solutions for future projects. International Expansion Of Our Business Could Result In Financial Losses Due To Changes In Foreign Political And Economic Conditions Or Fluctuations In Currency And Exchange Rates. We expect to continue to expand our international operations. As well as the two offices in the United States, we currently have offices in Pakistan, the UK and Australia. Additionally, we have entered into an agreement to acquire CQ Systems Ltd., a company organized and located in England. In fact, approximately 90% of our revenue is generated by non-U.S. sources. Our international operations are subject to other inherent risks, including: o political uncertainty in Pakistan and the Southeast Asian Region, particularly in light of the United States' war on terrorism and the Iraq war; o recessions in foreign countries; o fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly the weakness of the U.S. dollar and the effect this may have on U.S. off-shore technology spending; o difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations; 5 o reduced protection for intellectual property in some countries; o political instability or changes in regulatory requirements or the potential overthrowing of the current government in certain foreign countries; o U.S. imposed restrictions on the import and export of technologies; and, o U.S. imposed restrictions on the issuances of business and travel visas to foreign workers primarily those from Middle Eastern or East Asian countries. We Are Controlled By and Are Dependent On Our Key Personnel. Our management is currently controlled and operated by various members of the Ghauri family. Our success will depend in large part upon the continued services of those individuals including Messrs. Salim Ghauri, Najeeb Ghauri and Naeem Ghauri. The death or loss of the services of any one of them or of any one or more of our other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have key man life insurance on these individuals. In addition, if one or more of our key employees resigns to join a competitor or to form a competing company, the loss of such personnel and any resulting loss of existing or potential clients to any such competitor could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of the loss of any key personnel, there can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge, practices or procedures by such personnel. We entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Salim, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri effective January 1, 2004, for a period of three (3) years. Messrs. Salim, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri have non-competition and anti-raid clauses in their employment agreements with us. Certain Of Our Management Team Have Relationships Which May Potentially Result In Conflicts Of Interests. In fiscal year 2002, certain of our management team loaned approximately $141,893 to our Pakistani subsidiary company for operating costs. This loan accrued interest at the rate of 18% per annum and was to be repaid at such time as the Company could afford to repay the loan or through other methods that did not require a cash outlay by the Company, such as the exercise of options by the management team. Also, since 2002 our management team has, in the interest of improving the cash flow of the Company, elected to take only a portion of their salaries, deferring the remainder. In November 2003, the management team exercised options totaling $200,973 the consideration of which was offset against funds due to the Company as repayment of the loan and as due but deferred compensation. In March 2004, the management team exercised options totaling $75,000 of which all but $24,512 was paid for with due but deferred compensation. The remaining $24,511 was paid through the officers' normal salary deferral by the end of August 2004. In December 2004, the officers exercised options to acquire shares for which the officers mistakenly believed sufficient deferred compensation existed to pay for these exercises. When it was discovered that there was not sufficient deferred compensation, the shares were cancelled by the agreement of the Company and the officers. While these transactions were approved by the Board of Directors, which believes such transactions to be fair in their terms, and such transactions have not resulted in the management team choosing personal gain over Company gain, such transactions may have constituted a potential conflict of interest between our management members' personal interest and the interest of the Company in that management could be motivated to repay debts owed to the management team rather than using that money for the Company's growth. This, however, did not occur. Nevertheless, the errors related to the March 2004 and December 2004 transactions may constitute violations of Section 13(k)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") by the Company and/or the named officers. A possible violation of Section 13(k)(1) of the Exchange Act may result in an investigation by the SEC which may have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Violations of Section 13(k) (1) of the Exchange Act may expose the Company and the named officers to possible civil and criminal penalties.See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" on page 39 for information about relationships between our officers and/or directors which could result in a Conflict of Interest. 6 Certain Option Exercises May Result in a Violation of Section 13(k)(1) As stated in the risk factor, "Certain of Our Management Team Have Relationships Which May Potentially Result in Conflicts of Interest", officers of the Company have routinely either loaned funds to or deferred the receipt of consideration due to them at such times as the Company was in need of cash. These officers have frequently used these funds due to them to exercise options to acquire common stock of the Company. In March 2004, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri exercised options to acquire shares of common stock of the Company. At the time of the exercise, they mistakenly believed that sufficient funds were due to them from the Company and compensation deferral to pay for these options. However, there was a deficit between the amount of funds due to the officers from the Company and the exercise price of the options. This deficit was repaid through the normal salary deferral to the Company by the end of May, in the case of Mr. Naeem Ghauri and, the end of August 2004, in the case of Mr. Najeeb Ghauri. In December 2004, certain officers exercised options against salary deferrals due to them. Upon discovering that sufficient liabilities were not available to offset the monies due for the exercise, these shares were immediately cancelled by the Company. See Certain Relationships and Related Transactions on page 57. Section 13(k)(1) of the Exchange Act prohibits companies from making loans to officers. The SEC may view the difference between the exercise price due and the amounts credited as a prohibited loan to these officers. The errors related to the March 2004 and December 2004 transactions may constitute violations of Section 13(k)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") by the Company and/or the named officers. A possible violation of Section 13(k)(1) of the Exchange Act may result in an investigation by the SEC which may have a materially adverse effect on the Company. Violations of Section 13(k)(1) of the Exchange Act may expose the Company and the named officers to possible civil and criminal penalties. We Face Significant Competition In Markets That Are New And Rapidly Changing. The markets for the services we provide are highly competitive. We principally compete with strategy consulting firms, Internet professional services firms, systems integration firms, software developers, technology vendors and internal information systems groups. Many of the companies that provide services in the markets we have targeted have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, have greater name recognition and generate greater revenues. Potential customers may also have in house employees that can compete with or replace us. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into these markets and we expect to continue to face competition from new entrants into these same markets. We believe that the principal competitive factors in these markets include: o our ability to integrate strategy, experience modeling, creative design and technology services; o quality of service, speed of delivery and price; o industry knowledge; o sophisticated project and program management capability; and, o Internet technology expertise and talent. We believe that our ability to compete also depends on a number of competitive factors outside our control, including: o ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate professional staff; o development by others of Internet services or software that is competitive with our solutions; and o extent of our competitors' responsiveness to client needs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in these markets. RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN THIS OFFERING Our Stock Price Has Historically Been Volatile; Our Stock Price After This Offering Will Be Subject To Market Factors. The trading price of our common stock has historically been volatile. The future trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to: o quarterly variations in operating results and achievement of key business metrics; o changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts, if any; o any differences between reported results and securities analysts' published or unpublished expectations; 7 o announcements of new contracts or service offerings by NetSol or competitors; o market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by NetSol or competitors; o demand for our services and products; o changes of shares being sold pursuant to Rule 144 or upon exercise of the warrants; and, o general economic or stock market conditions unrelated to NetSol's operating performance. Potential Future Sales Pursuant To Rule 144 May Have A Depressive Effect On The Trading Price Of Our Securities. Certain shares of common stock presently held by officers, directors and certain other stockholders are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a one year holding period, may, under certain circumstances sell within any three month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, including a two-year holding period, the sale of shares by a person without any quantity limitation. Such holding periods have already been satisfied in many instances. Therefore, actual sales or the prospect of sales of such shares under Rule 144 in the future may depress the prices of our common stock. Provisions of Our Bylaws Hinder Change in Control. Our bylaws contain provisions that prevent actions being taken by shareholders by written consent. Shareholders actions may only be taken at special meetings called in accordance with our bylaws. Our bylaws limit the manner and timing of calling such meetings by shareholders. These provisions may effectively prevent shareholders from changing board composition and or management in a swift manner. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering of common stock for sale by the selling stockholders. Proceeds received by us as a result of the exercise of the warrants by the selling stockholders will be used for working capital purposes. 8 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table and notes set forth the name of each selling stockholder, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship, if any, which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with NetSol or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of shares of NetSol common stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, the amount to be offered for the stockholder's account and the amount to be owned by such selling stockholder upon completion of the offering.

Certain selling stockholders shall receive their shares upon conversion of convertible debentures which were offered to such stockholders in a private placement of Series A 10% Convertible Debentures in March 2004. This private placement resulted in the issuance of convertible debentures with a principal value of $1,200,000. The debentures bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable in common stock or cash, which at the option of NetSol will be paid in cash upon conversion. The debentures are convertible at the rate of $1.86 principal value per share. Each debenture holder also received a warrant to purchase fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of common stock issuable at conversion at the exercise price of $3.30 per share. These warrants may be exercised until May 2009. Certain of the selling stockholders received their shares in a private placement of shares of common stock and warrants to acquire common stock in May 2004 in which we sold 386,362 shares at $2.20 per share and warrants to acquire up to 193,182 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.30 per share.

Such option was available until March 17, 2005 and requires such warrant holders to provide both the exercise notice and the full exercise price to the Company prior to that date. Any warrants not exercised by that date reverted to the $3.30 per share exercise price. Only 20,162 warrants were exercised at the reduced price. The remaining warrants have reverted back to the $3.30 per share exercise price. 11 Pursuant to the placement agent agreements by and between NetSol and Maxim Group LLC, Maxim Partners LLC, as nominee of Maxim Group LLC, received, as part of the compensation for their services, warrants to purchase up to 74,545 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.20 per share.

The terms of the settlement agreement required NetSol to issue to ACB shares of common stock of the Company equal in value to $100,000 plus interest as of the effective date of the agreement. The complaint was dismissed by virtue of this settlement on November 3, 2003. On December 16, 2003, 34,843 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $100,000 were issued pursuant to the terms of the agreement. On February 6 2004, NetSol issued an additional 10,352 shares valued at $35,135 as interest due under the settlement agreement. The terms of the settlement agreement require NetSol to register ACB Ltd's shares herein. Because the selling stockholders may, under this prospectus, sell all or some portion of their NetSol common stock, only an estimate can be given as to the amount of NetSol common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon completion of the offering. In addition, the selling stockholders identified above may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their NetSol common stock after the date on which they provided information regarding their shareholdings. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION Selling stockholders may offer and sell, from time to time, the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus. The term selling stockholders includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders may sell their securities by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods: o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o an over-the-counter sale; o in privately negotiated transactions; and, o in options transactions. The shares of our common stock will be listed, and may be traded, on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market under the symbol "NTWK". In addition, the selling stockholders may sell pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration. We have received confirmation from all selling stockholders that they do not have any short positions and have reviewed Regulation M. 12 To the extent required, we may amend or supplement this prospectus to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with those transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and redeliver the securities to close out their short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that require the delivery to the broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities the broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect the transaction. The selling stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, the broker-dealer or other financial institution, may affect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect the transaction. In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be treated as "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions. The selling stockholders and any other person participating in a distribution will be subject to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling stockholders and other participating persons. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular security being distributed for a period of up to five business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. This may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities. We have informed the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, including Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, may apply to their sales in the market. Additionally, we have informed the selling stockholders involved in the private placements, through the offering documents of the following Telephone Interpretation in the SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (July 1997): A.65. Section 5 An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock, which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock "against the box" and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date. The selling stockholder have represented and warranted that he/she/it had complied with all applicable provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including Regulation M, and the applicable state securities laws. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the NASDAQ Small Cap Market pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including those arising under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the selling stockholders may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. 13 At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On July 26, 2002, NetSol was served with a Request for Entry of default by Surrey Design Partnership Ltd. ("Surrey"). Surrey's complaint for damages sought $288,743.41 plus interest at the rate of 10% above the Bank of England base rate from January 12, 2002 until payment in full is received, plus costs. The parties agreed to entry of a Consent Order whereby NetSol agreed to make payments according to a payment schedule. NetSol made payments up to May of 2002 but was unable to make payments thereafter. On September 25, 2002, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Adrian Cowler ("Cowler"), a principal of Surrey, and Surrey. The Company agreed to pay Cowler (pound)218,000 or approximately $320,460 including interest, which the Company has recorded as a note payable in the consolidated financial statements. The agreement called for monthly payments of (pound)3,000 per month until March 2004 and then (pound)4,000 per month until paid. As of June 30, 2004, the balance was $146,516. During the six months ended December 31, 2004, we paid (pound)12,000 or $21,997. In December 2004, the Company reached an agreement to pay the balance in one lump-sum payment. Cowler agreed to accept (pound)52,000 or $103,371 as payment in full. On July 31, 2002, Herbert Smith, a law firm in England, which represented NetSol in the Surrey matter filed claim for the sum of approximately $248,871 (which represents the original debt and interest thereon) in the High Court of Justice Queen's Bench Division. On November 28, 2002, a Consent Order was filed with the Court agreeing to a payment plan, whereby we paid $10,000 on execution, $4,000 a month for one year and $6,000 per month thereafter until the debt is paid. The balance owing at March 31, 2005 was $143,321. In April 2005, an agreement was reached with Herbert Smith whereby they accepted $135,000 as payment in full. This final installment of this compromised amount was paid in May 2005. On March 3, 2004 Uecker and Associates, Inc. as the assignee for the benefit of the creditors of PGC Systems, Inc. formerly known as Portera Systems, Inc. filed a request for arbitration demanding payment from NetSol for the amounts due under a software agreement in the amount of $175,700. A settlement was reached by and between the Company and Portera on November 11, 2004 whereby Portera agreed to a settlement of any and all issues related to the claim in exchange for one time payment of $75,000 which was paid by December 3, 2004. 14 DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS The following table sets forth the names and ages of the current directors and executive officers of NetSol, the principal offices and positions with NetSol held by each person and the date such person became a director or executive officer of NetSol.

(f/k/a NetSol International, Inc.) ("NetSol") is an end-to-end information technology ("I/T") and business consulting services provider for the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries. Since we were founded in 1997, we have developed enterprise solutions that help clients use I/T more efficiently in order to improve their operations and profitability and to achieve business results. Our focus has remained the lease and finance, banking and financial services industries. We operate on a global basis with locations in the U.S., Europe, East Asia and Asia Pacific. By utilizing our worldwide resources, we believe we have been able to deliver high quality, cost-effective I/T services. NetSol Technologies Pvt. Ltd. ("NetSol PK") develops the majority of the software for us. NetSol PK was the first company in Pakistan to achieve the ISO 9001 accreditation. NetSol PK was the first software company in Pakistan to achieve ISO 9001 accreditation in 1998 and was again the first software company in Pakistan to obtain Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute ("SEI") Capable Maturity Model ("CMM") Level 4 assessment in 2004. . COMPANY BUSINESS MODEL NetSol now offers a broad spectrum of I/T products and I/T services which management believes deliver a high return on investment for its customers. NetSol has perfected its delivery capabilities by continuously investing in its software development and Quality Assurance ("QA") processes. NetSol believes its key competitive advantage is its ability to build high quality enterprise applications using its offshore development facility in Lahore, Pakistan. A major portion of NetSol's revenues are derived from exports in general and LeaseSoft in particular. The use of the facility in Pakistan as the basis for software development, configuration and professional services represents a cost-effective and economical cost arbitrage model that is based on the globally acclaimed advantages of outsourcing and offshore development. NetSol management believes that the use of this model will only further benefit the Company in its penetration of European, developed and developing country markets. Achieving Software Maturity and Quality Assurance. NetSol, from the outset, invested heavily in creating a state of the art, world-class software development capability. A series of QA initiatives have delivered to NetSol the ISO 9001 certification as well as the CMM level 4 assessment. Achieving this CMM level 4 required dedication at all our corporate levels. SEI's CMM, which is organized into five maturity levels, has become a de facto standard for assessing and improving software processes. Through the CMM, SEI and the software development community have established an effective means for modeling, defining, and measuring the maturity of the processes used by software professionals. The CMM for software describes the principles and practices underlying software process maturity and is intended to help software organizations improve the maturity of their software processes in terms of an evolutionary path from ad hoc, chaotic processes to mature, disciplined software processes. Mature processes meet standardized software engineering methods and integrable into a customer's system. Mature processes ensure enhanced product quality resulting in faster project turn around and a shortened time-to-market. In short, a mature process would, ideally, have fewer bugs and integrate better into the customer's system. We have always strived to improve quality in every aspect of our business. This quality drive, based on our vision, trickles from the top to the lowest levels in the organization. We believe that it is this quality focus that enabled our software development facility to become the first ISO 9001 certified software development facility in Pakistan in 1999. This accomplishment marked the beginning of the Company's continuing long term program towards achieving the higher challenges of SW-CMM. Thanks to the dedication of the Company's employees, it was the first to reach CMM level 4 in Pakistan 19 Professional Services. We offer a broad array of professional services to clients in the global commercial markets and specialize in the application of advanced and complex I/T enterprise solutions to achieve its customers' strategic objectives. Our service offerings include bespoke software development, software analysis and design, testing services, off shore as well as onsite quality assurance services, consultancy in quality engineering and process improvement including assistance in implementation of ISO and CMM quality standards, Business Process Reengineering, Business Process Outsourcing systems reengineering, maintenance and support of existing systems, technical research and development, project management, market research and project feasibilities. Outsourcing involves operating all or a portion of a customer's technology infrastructure, including systems analysis, system design and architecture, change management, enterprise applications development, network operations, desktop computing and data center management. Systems integration encompasses designing, developing, implementing and integrating complete information systems. I/T and management consulting services include advising clients on the strategic acquisition and utilization of I/T and on business strategy, operations, change management and business process reengineering. The experience gained by us through its own software quality endeavors, has enabled us to offer consultancy services in the areas of Software Quality, Process Improvement, ISO Certification and SW-CMM Implementation. ISO certification and CMM services include, but are not limited to GAP Analysis against the standard ISO/CMM; Orientation Workshops; Guiding the Implementation of the plan developed after the GAP Analysis; Training on Standard Processes; Process implementation support off-site and on-site; assessment training; and assistance through the final assessment (Certification Audit for ISO). NetSol has been chosen by the Pakistan Software Export Board under the direction of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication to provide consultancy to local software houses. Management believes this demonstrates that NetSol has not only led the way in setting standards for the IT industry in Pakistan, but is instrumental in assisting local companies to achieve quality standards. LeaseSoft We also develop advanced software systems for the asset based lease and finance industries. We have developed "LeaseSoft" a complete integrated lease and finance package. LeaseSoft, a robust suite of four software applications, is an end-to-end solution for the lease and finance industry. The four applications under LeaseSoft 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. LeaseSoft is a result of more than six years of effort resulting in over 60 modules grouped in four comprehensive applications. These four applications are complete systems in themselves and can be used independently to exhaustively address specific sub-domains of the leasing/financing cycle. And, if used together, they fully automate the entire leasing / financing cycle. The constituent software applications are: o LeaseSoft Electronic Point of Sale (LeaseSoft ePOS). LeaseSoft.ePOS is a web-based point of sale system for the use of dealers, brokers, agents and sales officers to initiate credit applications. It is a web-based system and, though it can be used with equal efficiency on an intranet, the real ability is to harness the power of the Internet to book sales. LeaseSoft.ePOS users create quotations and financing applications (Proposals) for their customers using predefined financial products. The application is submitted to the back office system [such as LeaseSoft.CAP] for approval. After analysis, the application is sent back to the LeaseSoft.ePOS system with a final decision. o Credit Application Processing System (CAP Formally known as Proposal Management System, PMS). LeaseSoft.CAP provides companies in the financial sector an environment to handle the incoming credit applications from dealers, agents, brokers and the direct sales force. LeaseSoft.CAP automatically gathers information from different interfaces like credit rating agencies, evaluation guides, contract management systems and scores the applications against defined scorecards. All of this is done in a mechanized workflow culminating with credit team members making their decisions more quickly and accurately. Implementation of LeaseSoft.CAP dramatically reduces application-processing time in turn resulting in greater revenue through higher number of applications finalized in a given time. LeaseSoft.CAP is also an excellent tool to reduce probability of a wrong decision thus again providing a concrete business value through minimizing the bad debt portfolio. 20 o Contract Management System (CMS). LeaseSoft.CMS provides comprehensive business functionality that enables its users to effectively and smoothly manage and maintain a contract with the most comprehensive details throughout its life cycle. It also provides interfaces with company banks and accounting systems. LeaseSoft.CAM also effectively maintains details of all business partners that do business with NetSol including, but not limited to, customers, dealers, debtors, guarantors, insurance companies and banks. A number of leasing consultants have provided their business knowledge to make this product a most complete lease and finance product. NetSol's LeaseSoft.CAM provides business functionality for all areas that are required to run an effective, efficient and customer oriented lease and finance business. o Wholesale Finance System (WFS). LeaseSoft.WFS automates and manages the floor plan/bailment activities of dealerships through a finance company. The design of the system is based on the concept of one asset/one loan to facilitate asset tracking and costing. The system covers credit limit, payment of loan, billing and settlement, stock auditing, online dealer and auditor access and ultimately the pay-off functions. Typically, NetSol's sales cycle for these products ranges between two to five months. We derive our income both from selling the license to use the products as well as from related software services. The related services include requirement study/gap analysis, customization on the basis of gaps development, testing, configuration, installation at the client site, data migration, training, user acceptance testing, supporting initial live operations and, finally, the long term maintenance of the system. Any changes or enhancement done is also charged to the customer. In the requirements study/gaps analysis, the NetSol LeaseSoft team goes to the client site to study the client's business and functional requirements and maps them against the existing functionality available in LeaseSoft. LeaseSoft has now reached a stage where hardly, if any gaps, are identified as a result of such a study. In the customization phase, the gaps are made part of LeaseSoft through a development cycle. This development takes place in Lahore, Pakistan. Then the new as per requirement system is thoroughly tested. This phase also takes place in Pakistan. LeaseSoft is a highly parameterized configurable application and hence it is able to be configured according to the business of the customer. This phase can take place both onsite as well as in Lahore but is usually at least partially done in Lahore. Next, follows the installation of the system at client site. If the customer was using some other system and already has data in electronic form, then NetSol's data migration team migrates this data from the old system to the LeaseSoft database. Data migration is a mix of both client site and Lahore based work. The client is also imparted training in the areas of business user training, functional business training and system administration training. Training is followed by user acceptance testing (UAT) where client nominated staff and NetSol consultants test the system against the customer business requirements. After UAT, the system is put in normal business use. LeaseSoft is a mission critical software, and the whole business operations, from the asset side of a finance/leasing company, hinge upon the performance of the system. Hence in the early days after going live, NetSol consultants remain at the client site to assist the company in smooth operations. After this phase, the regular maintenance and support services phase for the implemented software begins. In addition to the daily rate paid by the customer for each consultant, the customer also pays for all the transportation related expenses, boarding of the consultants, and a living allowance. These practices enable NetSol to increase marginal revenue in a proportion larger than the marginal cost incurred. License fees can vary generally between $100,000 up to $1,000,000 per license depending upon the size of the customer and the complexity of the customer's business. There are various attributes which determine the level of complexity, a few of which are: number of contracts; size of the portfolio; business strategy of the company; number of business users; and, branch network of the customer. 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 collectibility is probable. However, revenue from sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on percent of completion basis. Revenue from software services includes fixed price contracts and is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method using the output measure of "Unit of Work Completed." The annual maintenance fee, which usually is an agreed upon percentage of overall monetary value of the implementation, then becomes an ongoing revenue stream realized on a yearly basis. As a marketing strategy NetSol is preparing a lighter version of LeaseSoft to target companies with simpler business models. LeaseSoft is highly modular. Hence various sets of functionalities can be used against the restricted requirements of the client. The first deployment of this lighter version is currently being carried out in Maritius for Mauritius Commercial Bank. 21 Acquisition of CQ Systems Ltd., UK. In February 2005, NetSol acquired 100% of CQ Systems Ltd., an IT products and service company based in the UK. As a result of this acquisition, NetSol has access to a broad European customer base using IT solutions complementary to NetSol's LeaseSoft product. NetSol plans to leverage CQ Systems' knowledge base and strong presence in the Asset Finance market to launch LeaseSoft in the UK and continental Europe. CQ's strong sales and marketing capability would further help NetSol gain immediate recognition and positioning for the LeaseSoft suite of products. NetSol has an active plan to gradually move some of the software production activities at CQ Systems to its offshore development center in Lahore. This transition is expected to last about twelve months, during which time most of the quality assurance, documentation and some of the CQ products core software development activities would transition to Lahore. While it is expected that a gradual reduction in costs on a like for like basis at CQ Systems will occur during the twelve month transition period, the expected growth in CQ Systems business over the next eighteen months, may result in a personnel growth at CQ Systems during that same period. NetSol will continue to manage LeaseSoft pre-sales support and deliveries by having two specialized pools of resources for each of the four products under LeaseSoft. One group focuses on software development required for customization and enhancements. The second group comprises of LeaseSoft consultants concentrating on implementation and onsite support. Both groups are being continually trained in the domain of finance and leasing, system functionality, communication skills, organizational behavior and client management. The Asian continent, Australia and New Zealand, from the perspective of LeaseSoft marketing, are targeted by NetSol Technologies from its Lahore subsidiary and its newly opened offices in Beijing. NetSol UK, both through its base in London and its CQ Systems Ltd. offices located in Horsham, United Kingdom, focuses on the European market. NetSol UK has also appointed a representative in Denmark to further focus on Denmark as well as the neighboring countries. The marketing for LeaseSoft in USA and Canada is carried out directly by the Company. NetSol Technologies (Pvt.) Limited services and NetSol UK market whenever and wherever required. NetSol has established a strategy to aggressively market LeaseSoft in various regions of the world. As part of the strategy, NetSol is forming alliances with reputable IT companies and has already appointed distributors in Singapore and Japan. NetSol has entered into a mutually non-exclusive agreement with Singapore Computer Systems (SCS) that allows SCS to market LeaseSoft in the entire Asia Pacific Region. Furthermore, NetSol is looking forward to developing partner networks all across the world with reputable companies. Launch of NetSol CQ office in Beijing, China As part of the same strategy and focus on marketing LeaseSoft, NetSol has recently established a new sales office in Beijing, China, which will act not only as the sales and marketing front for NetSol in the People's Republic of China but also act as the liaison office for its ongoing operations and implementation services for DaimlerChrysler Services and other clients in the country. The new Asia Pacific office is jointly managed by NetSol Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned U.K. subsidiary, CQ Systems Ltd. Management believes that LeaseSoft has begun to be recognized as a unique, world-class product offering. This belief is based on the following instances: o Breakthrough with Toyota in Thailand and China o Breakthrough in non-captive finance as evidenced by agreement with Mauritius Commercial Bank in Mauritius o It has been recognized as a Solution Blueprint by Intel Corporation. Intel has very stringent technical and market potential criteria for designating a solution as a "solution blueprint" o Frame Agreement with DaimlerChrysler Services AG (DCS) 22 NetSol's Frame Agreement with DCS short lists LeaseSoft as a preferred software provider for managing the wholesale and retail side of leasing and finance business of DCS. DCS supports the sales of DaimlerChrysler vehicles through financial services. The current LeaseSoft client base includes DaimlerChrysler Services (Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, China and Taiwan), Yamaha Motors Finance Australia, Toyota Motors Finance China, Mercedes Benz Finance Japan, Toyota Leasing Thailand and Mauritius Commercial Bank. NetSol also maintains a LeaseSoft specific product website www.leasesoft.biz Status of New Products and Services inBanking(TM) With the acquisition of Pearl Treasury System, whose product offering is now referred to as InBanking(TM), the Company expands its menu of software into the banking and other financial areas. In 2003, NetSol acquired the intellectual property rights ("IPR") of Pearl Treasury System ("PTS"). PTS was developed to 70% completion in the late 1990s, led by its system designer who had 30 plus years in banking through positions as Trader and Head of Trading, Treasury, Risk, Operations and IT for banks such as Bankers' Trust and Mitsubishi Trust & Banking. PTS was originally developed on two tier client server technologies and was designed to provide full process automation and decision support in the front, middle and back offices of treasury and capital market operations. On an internal review of PTS post-acquisition, it was decided to re-write the system with in the .NET technologies, bringing the system into the n-tier/browser based environment. The project name for this program is inBanking(TM), and the Phase One deliverables are nearing completion. InBanking(TM) has more than 70 person years of development effort and $4 million already invested. The tremendous flexibility enabled by the comprehensive data model and multi-tier architectural design of InBanking(TM) has been fully recognized, identifying the potential to further develop InBanking(TM) beyond treasury and capital markets. Additionally, inBanking(TM) is modular and can therefore be implemented as solutions for, example, front office trading, middle office credit or market risk, or back office settlement. InBanking(TM) can also be implemented to support all these areas, plus others, as a single fully integrated solution. InBanking(TM) provides NetSol with the significant opportunity to gain a sizable share of the treasury, capital markets and wholesale banking systems markets. Following a lull in the banking solution purchase market, caused by Y2K and disasters such as 9/11, market analysts, such as Celent and IBS Publishing, are forecasting significant system replacement activity over the next few years, particularly in the area of treasury management. NetSol is currently and actively seeking a small number of banks and financial institutions to be pilot development partners for the final stage of the Phase One development program, implementing InBanking(TM) to support their specific requirements. TiG-NetSol In November 2004, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with The Innovation Group ("TiG") whereby the TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Ltd., a Pakistani company, now called Extended Innovation, provides support services enabling TiG to scale solution delivery operations in key growth markets. TiG-NetSol operations are centered in NetSol's IT Village in Lahore, Pakistan, with a back up facility in Bangalore, India. NetSol owns 50.5 percent of the new venture, with TiG owning the remaining 49.5 percent. The entities share equally in the revenues of the joint venture. The outsourcing model between TiG and NetSol involves services pertaining to business analyses, configuration, testing, software quality assurance (SQA), as well as, technical communication for TiG software. Initiated with a 10 person outsourcing team in Lahore in February 2005, this arrangement has extended to a 35 person team in July 2005 with the additional resources catering to the increased influx of outsourcing of configuration and testing assignments from TiG. Backed up by a dedicated 4Mbps fiber optic link for communication and teleconferencing, this arrangement will allow NetSol's human resources to efficiently and effectively respond to additional outsourcing and offshore configuration work. 23 Growth through Acquisition and Alliances In Mid-2004, NetSol management identified mergers and acquisitions as potential methods of capitalizing on the demand of the Company's flagship product, LeaseSoft and assisting the Company in launching its treasury banking software systems. This, together with the visible turnaround in the services and outsourcing sectors in global markets, led to a growth strategy encompassing both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions. While the calendar year 2004, focused on capitalizing on organic growth and investing in building up the Company's marketing and sales organization, the early part of 2005 saw a renewed focus on mergers and acquisitions. In February 2005, the Company closed the acquisition of CQ Systems Ltd., a UK based company. With a client network reaching across Europe, CQ Systems provides a platform for the Company's LeaseSoft products in the UK and continental Europe. The Company continues to explore mergers and acquisition opportunities, both in the USA and Europe. Management believes that great value can be added to the Company by completing a series of acquisitions over the next five years. The model of targeting well established, profitable product companies, within NetSol's domain, management believes, has proven successful with the CQ acquisition. Management believes this model can be replicated over the next five years. Growth through Establishing Partners Network NetSol is well aware that market reach is essential to effectively market IT products and services around the globe. For this purpose, the Company is looking forward to establishing a network of partners worldwide. These companies will represent NetSol in their respective countries and will develop business for NetSol. Keeping these strategic objectives in view, NetSol has entered into a mutually non-exclusive agreement with Singapore Computer Systems (SCS) that allows SCS to market LeaseSoft in the entire Asia Pacific region. Strategic Alliances LeaseSoft is recognized as Solution Blueprint by Intel Corporation. Intel has very stringent technical and market potential criteria for marking a solution as solution blueprint. The document is also available online from Intel's website http://www.intel.com/business/bss/solutions/blueprints/industry/finance/ index.htm NetSol and Intel Corporation have a strategic relationship that would potentially permit NetSol to market its core product, `LeaseSoft', through Intel websites. In a joint press release made earlier in 2004, by both NetSol and Intel, both companies would deliver a new Solution Blueprint for its core leasing solution. With the collaboration to create a world-class blueprint for the leasing and finance industry, deployment should become even faster and smoother for our customers. Intel's website defines Intel's Solution Blueprints as detailed technical documents that define pre-configured, repeatable solutions based on successful real-world implementations. Built on Intel(R) architecture and flexible building block components, these solutions help deliver increased customer satisfaction, lower operating costs, and better productivity. DaimlerChrysler Services Asia Pacific has established "Application Support Center (ASC)" in Singapore to facilitate the regional companies in LeaseSoft related matters. This support center is powered by highly qualified technical and business personnel. ASC LeaseSoft in conjunction with NetSol Technologies (Pvt.) Ltd. Lahore are supporting DCS companies in seven different countries in Asia and this list can increase as other DCS companies from other countries may also opt for LeaseSoft. In June 2004, the Company entered into a Frame Agreement with DaimlerChrysler AG. This agreement, which serves as a base line agreement for use of the LeaseSoft products by DaimlerChrysler Services AG companies and affiliated companies, represents what management believes to be an endorsement of the LeaseSoft product line and the capabilities of NetSol to worldwide DaimlerChrysler Financial Services (DCFS) entities. This endorsement has had a tremendous impact on our perspective customers, it has helped our sales and Business Development personnel to market and sell our LeaseSoft solution to blue chip customers around the world. This relationship has resulted in new agreements with DCFS and has served as a marketing source which has resulted in agreements with companies such as Toyota With the recent deregulation of Pakistan's telecommunications sector and the government's desire to attract investors to the country, while experiencing an unprecedented increase in exports, Pakistan is keen to build a solid technology infrastructure to support the growth expected over the next several years. The areas within Pakistan expected to receive major information technology investments by the government are education, public sector automation, railways and the country's armed forces. 24 As compared to the previous year, NetSol (Pvt) Ltd. was able to materialize a number of service contracts within the local Pakistani public and defense sectors. An important aspect of these contracts is that not all of them focused solely on software development and engineering. This year, NetSol has gone a step further by providing both consultancy services to organizations so as to improve their quality of operations and services and, wining strategically important assignments with the E-Governance domains for organizations of national significance in Pakistan including, but not limited to, the Prime Minister's office and the lower and upper houses of Parliament. These clients include private as well as public sector enterprises. Also, NetSol was successful in consolidating its standing as one of the preferred solutions providers for the Military sector and Defense organizations. The service offerings of NetSol has now diversified into a comprehensive supply chain of end to end services and solutions catering to private and public sectors, consultancies, applications development, systems engineering integration as well as other supporting processes for turnkey projects. NetSol Akhter Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company with ownership of 50.1% by the Company and 49.9% by Akhter Group, is a company capitalizing on the high growth of the telecommunications market in Pakistan. NetSol Akhter provides ISP services to clients in the three major cities of Pakistan and is looking to expand its service offerings. NetSol management took this strategic step to maintain its focus in the core business of software development and IT services. As a direct result of a delay in the PTCL privatization, the state owned telecommunications monopoly, NetSol-Akhter has faced delays in finalizing cross network pricing and infrastructure rollout. However, the recent completion of the PTCL privatization process would provide some much needed impetus to the rollout plans. A giant UAE based telecom group (Eitesalat) has acquired 26% of PTCL for $2.6MN and will be taking over the management control of this state owned telecom giant of Pakistan. Technical Affiliations We currently have technical affiliations as: a MicroSoft Certified Partner; a member of the Intel Early Access Program; and, an Oracle Certified Partner. MARKETING AND SELLING The Marketing Program NetSol management is optimistic that the Company will experience ever increasing opportunities for its products offerings in 2006. The Company is aggressively growing the marketing and sales organizations in the United Kingdom in conjunction with CQ Systems Ltd., in Pakistan and the USA. Management believes that the year 2006 will follow 2005 as a year for continued growth, the launching of footprints in new markets, while penetrating in the established markets such as Asia Pacific and Europe. While affiliations and partnering result in potential growth for the Company, marketing and selling remain essential to building Company revenue. The objective of the Company's marketing program is to create and sustain preference and loyalty for NetSol as a leading provider of enterprise solutions, e-services consulting and software solutions. Marketing is performed at the corporate and business unit levels. The corporate marketing department has overall responsibility for communications, advertising, public relations and the website and also engineers and oversees central marketing and communications programs for use by each of the business units. Our dedicated marketing personnel within the business units undertake a variety of marketing activities, including sponsoring focused client events to demonstrate our skills and products, sponsoring and participating in targeted conferences and holding private briefings with individual companies. We believe that the industry focus of our sales professionals and our business unit marketing personnel enhances their knowledge and expertise in these industries and will generate additional client engagements. As the US technology market gradually improves, NetSol marketing teams are concentrating on the markets overseas with cautious entry into the US market. The Markets NetSol provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial industries. In the global commercial area, our service offerings are marketed to clients in a wide array of industries including, automotive: chemical; tiles/ceramics; Internet marketing; software; medical; banks; U.S. higher education and telecommunication associations and, financial services. 25 Geographically, NetSol has operations on the West Coast of the United States, Central Asia, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions. During the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2005, NetSol's revenue mix by major markets was as follows: 2005 2004 ---- ---- North American (NetSol USA) 2% 12% Europe (CQ Systems Ltd., NetSol Technologies, UK Ltd.) 24% 6% Other International (Abraxas, NetSol Technologies Pvt. Ltd., 74% 82% NetSol Pvt., Ltd., NetSol Connect) Total Revenues 100% 100% Fiscal Performance Overview We have effectively expanded our development base and technical capabilities by training our programmers to provide customized I/T solutions in many other sectors and not limiting ourselves to the lease and finance industry. NetSol Technologies PVT Ltd. Our subsidiary in Pakistan continues to perform strongly and has enhanced its capabilities and expanded its sales and marketing activities. In May 2004, NetSol inaugurated its newly built Technology Campus in Lahore, Pakistan. This was followed by a formal inauguration on March 4, 2005, by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shaukat Aziz. This state of the art, purpose-built and fully dedicated IT and software development facility, is the first of its kind in Pakistan. NetSol also signed a strategic alliance agreement with the IT ministry of Pakistan to convert the technology campus into a technology park. By this agreement, the IT ministry has invested nearly 10 million Rupees (approximately $150,000) to install fiber optic lines and improve the bandwidth for the facility. This facility currently houses over 400 employees and thus has become the backbone of the NetSol business model providing world class IT talent and a cost arbitrage that is attractive to its western customers. The Lahore operation supports our worldwide customer base of the LeaseSoft suite of products and all other product offerings. NetSol has continued to lend support to the Lahore subsidiary to further develop its quality initiatives and infrastructure. The major initiative in this area is the final stage of phase 1 of the development of the technology campus. The development facility in Pakistan, being the engine, which drives NetSol, continues to be the major source of revenue generation. The Pakistan operation has contributed nearly 53% of 2005, with $6.6 million in revenues for the current year. This was accomplished primarily through export of I/T Services and product licensed to the overseas markets. The total revenue of NetSol Pakistan, including the Pakistan domestic market, was $6.55 million with profit of $3.3 million. Seeking to take further advantage of the bourgeoning Pakistani markets, including the capital markets, the Company listed NetSol Technologies Ltd. on the Karachi Stock Exchange ("KSE") in August 2005. The initial public offering of stock, of NetSol Technologies Ltd., together with the pre-initial public offering private placement, raised over $5.83 million. NetSol Technologies Ltd. is listed on the KSE under the symbol "NETSOL". Trading of `NETSOL' on the KSE commenced on August 26, 2005. The successful listing of the subsidiary in this emerging capital markets, has increased visibility in Pakistan capturing the interest of both public and private sectors for new business opportunities. Furthermore, NetSol expects to leverage its position as one of the most reputed software developer's in Pakistan with a much improved balance sheet to attract major new projects and customers. While available to support its product and services base on a world-wide basis, NetSol Tecnologies PVT Ltd.'s selling and marketing efforts are focused on Asia. Using the distribution channels in Lahore, Beijing and many client sites, we are consolidating the Australian office and merging it with the Lahore facility. The existing senior management from Australia will now be directed by the Lahore operation which will serve the Australian-New Zealand markets. The Company expects to save nearly $250,000 by this initiative. NetSol has signed on new customers for LeaseSoft as well as bespoke development services. For LeaseSoft the following new projects were earned by the Company: 26 o DaimlerChrysler Auto Finance China- Licensing and customization of LeaseSoft CAP, CMS & WFS. o Toyota Leasing Thailand (TLT) - Licensing, customization and implementation of LeaseSoft CAP (formerly PMS), CMS & WFS. o TLT is a volume leader in captive finance companies in Thailand. NetSol considers it a big strategic break as delivering successfully in Thailand will position NetSol to target Toyota Finance companies around the world. o Mercedes Benz Finance Japan-Licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft WFS. o Toyota Motor Finance China- Licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft WFS. o Mauritius Commercial Bank, Mauritius- Licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft CMS and LeaseSoft CAP. o CMM Evaluation Consultancy Services for the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). As a part of Ministry of Information Technology's efforts for the process improvements in the operations of Pakistani software houses, NetSol, under the auspices of PSEB, is actively undertaking exercises for these consultancy services for different software companies. The key aspects of these services would be CMM1 introduction, gap analyses for ISO 9001:2000 compliant procedures, CMM Level 2/3 pre-assessments, consultancies, evaluations and tracking/analyses of such improvements. The clientele for these NetSol professional services includes: DPS Islamabad, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) Lahore, ProSol Islamabad, GeoPac Islamabad, yEvolve Karachi, and Avanza Solutions, Karachi. Management believes that NetSol has been identified as a premium IT company in Pakistan and with its matured products and services, local demand is surging. A few of the recently signed agreements in the private and public sectors are: o Pakistan Administrative Staff College o Government of Punjab (Motor Transport Management) o Pakistan Software Export Board o Ministry of Defense (multiple projects) o All Pakistan Textiles Processing Mills Association (APTPMA) o National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan (Electronic Government Directorate) o Prime Minister of Pakistan's Secretariat (Electronic Government Directorate) o Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry There is a growing domestic business in Pakistan for the IT and IT enabled services, as stated above, and NetSol is strategically positioned to support a very stable and economically beneficial pipeline to win many more and major new projects in the public and private sectors. NetSol will continue to strengthen its position as a dominant IT solutions provider in this explosive growth market. NetSol IT Matrix (NITM) for Information Security and related services. NetSol has entered into a joint venture agreement with IT Matrix, Saudi Arabia, for the provision of information security and related consultancy services for the growing IT services market in Pakistan. Realizing the already established potential of information security strength of NetSol in Pakistan and the capability/experience of IT Matrix Saudi Arabia, the organizations agreed to form a new business entity in Pakistan (NITM) to jointly pursue the information security business. IT Matrix is among the few companies in the region which has built its Information Security solutions integrating hardware, software and services. It is currently the leading Information Security solutions provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with corporate offices in Riyadh and one branch office in Al-Khobar (Easter Province). The company has partnerships with a number of leading information security vendors in the world and is the first company in the region to have built its IT security technologies with 100% local development in Saudi Arabia. The business objectives of the joint venture will be to: develop intellectual capital in the form of information security technologies; information security professional consultancy services; methodologies for implementation and maintenance; information security training and educational material with delivery mechanism and sales of information security consulting services; NITM developed information security technologies; support services for information security technology (people and processes); information security training and education; and, 24x7 security surveillance centers. 27 NetSol Technologies UK Ltd NetSol Technologies Limited, the Company's UK subsidiary, was formed in Fiscal 2003. Located in the heart of the City of London, one of the world's major banking and finance centers, the company is resourced with experts from the financial services industry, including its chairman, Ed Holmes, with experience such as Group Executive Europe and chairman/CEO of Citibank International Plc.. The UK subsidiary is responsible for the Company's activities in the UK, Europe and Middle East and includes the spearheading of the sales and marketing efforts for InBanking(TM), NetSol's treasury and wholesale banking solution; plus ongoing marketing and sales of the LeaseSoft portfolio of leasing solutions and NetSol's range of on and off-shore IT services. With the acquisition of CQ Systems, Ltd., which is managed by NetSol UK, the Company has added a complimentary suite of leasing products. CQ Systems Ltd. was established in 1986 and provides robust, powerful, scalable and safe contract management and accounting solutions for the installment credit, motor finance and asset finance markets. The modules provide an end-to-end contractual solution - from underwriting, contract administration and accounting through to asset disposal and re-marketing. Today CQ has more than 55 banking, independent and captive finance house clients in the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia. The revenue generated by CQ Systems from the date of acquisition (Feb 21 to June 30, 2005) was $2.3 million, or 18% of the Company's total revenues. The net income before tax reported for the same period was about $432,000. In terms of CQ Systems stand alone revenues for year 2004-2005, the revenues exceeded $6 million. Subsequent to the CQ Systems acquisition, it was decided to use NetSol UK as a marketing arm of the Lahore subsidiary and mergers and acquisition arm of the Company. Depending solely upon organic growth, the UK company produced $688,000 in revenue for the current fiscal year or 5.53% of the Company's total revenues. The net income was reported approximately $159,900. The main focus of this entity is to market the array of banking and leasing solutions in the heart of the financial district in London and the rest of Europe. Depending solely upon organic growth, the UK company produced $688,000 in revenue for the current fiscal year or 5.53% of the Company's total revenues. Net income of approximately $159,900 was reported. The main focus of this entity is to market the array of banking and leasing solutions in the heart of the financial district in London and the rest of Europe. NetSol TIG, Joint Venture As disclosed before, the newly formed outsourcing joint ventures of NetSol with a UK based IT solutions provider TIG, Plc. contributed approximately $448,000 in revenue in just five months or 3.6% of the Company's revenues. The total net profit was $250,000 before adjusting the minority interest; NetSol owns 51% while TIG owns 49% of the JV. NetSol Connect In August 2003, NetSol entered into an agreement with United Kingdom based Akhter Group PLC (Akhter). Under the terms of the agreement, Akhter Group acquired 49.9% of the Company's subsidiary; Pakistan based NetSol Connect Pvt Ltd., an Internet service provider (ISP) in Pakistan. As part of this Agreement, NetSol Connect changed its name to NetSol Akhter. A change in the ownership structure in September 2003 and the consolidation and readjustment of the revenue model caused revenue reduction in fiscal year 2004 as compared to the fiscal year 2003. During the current fiscal year, NetSol Connect steadily grew its presence in three cities (Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad) by acquiring a small Internet online company called Raabta Online in early 2004. This created a national presence for wireless broadband business in key markets that have experienced explosive growth.. NetSol Akhter with its new laser and wireless technologies has a potential to become a major brand in Pakistan. The partnership with Akhter Computers is designed to rollout the services of connectivity and wireless to the Pakistani national market. Akhter, one of the oldest established computer companies in the UK, is well recognized as a provider of managed Internet services, integrated networks, both local area networks and wide area networks, as well as metropolitan area networks within the UK. Akhter owned proprietary broadband technologies and solutions will provide NetSol Connect a technologically strong platform for strengthening its telecommunications infrastructure within Pakistan with a goal of becoming a leading provider of broadband Internet access to both residential and commercial users. 28 The initial stage of the agreement provides NetSol with an investment of up to $1 million in cash to launch a broadband infrastructure in Karachi, the largest business hub in Pakistan. The initial infrastructure will provide a 155MB backbone and a 5MB broadband to customer premises using a proprietary broadband technology and an infrastructure consisting of 20 hubs. After the successful launch of the initial six-month beta program to Karachi's residential and commercial customers, additional rollouts of the hubs are scheduled in Lahore and Islamabad within a 12-month period. The second investment into the program could provide up to $20 million to create the first Terabit backbone in Pakistan. This will allow NetSol to provide data, voice, video and other multi-media services to major cities within Pakistan. NetSolConnect Pvt Ltd. will continue to aggressively seek revenues to growth. The revenue contribution for NetSolConnect was $1.14 million or about 9.2% of 2005 revenues. The total net loss was $27,422 before adjusting the minority interest. NetSol USA In February 2005, NetSol USA operations were merged with the parent company. NetSol USA managed the successful completion and implementation of projects for a Seattle based software company, Capital Stream. This contract was awarded at the end of 2003 and was completed in the middle of fiscal year 2005. With NetSol USA focusing on consulting services in areas not necessarily compatible with the NetSol products and services base, and the completion of the Capital Stream project the Company elected to consolidate the Maryland office into the Company's headquarters in Calabasas, California. NetSol USA was responsible for $295,000 in revenues or 2.4% of total revenues to the Company. The downsizing of NetSol USA office would contribute to over $250,000 of annual savings. LeaseSoft Sales LeaseSoft received a major recognition when DaimlerChrysler Services (DCS) AG, Germany signed a global frame agreement with NetSol for LeaseSoft. Under terms of the open-ended global frame contract, LeaseSoft is named as one of the strategic, asset-based, finance software solutions for DCS. Within the DCS locations, the Global Frame Agreement was responsible for the following additional sales of LeaseSoft in the year ended June 30, 2005: licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft PMS, CMS and WFS for DaimlerChrysler Auto Finance China; and, Licensing and Implementation of LeaseSoft WFS for Mercedes Benz Finance Japan. Other than DCS, NetSol was also successful in entering into agreements with new customers in the region. A major breakthrough was Toyota Leasing Thailand allowing NetSol to offer and provides services to another leader in the region's automotive markets. This arrangement was later extended to a second Toyota client in China (Toyota Motors Finance China (TMFCN)). New customers included: licensing and implementation of WFS, CMS and PMS for Toyota Leasing Thailand; licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft for Toyota Motors Finance China; and, licensing and implementation of LeaseSoft PMS and CMS for Mauritius Commercial Bank, Mauritius. Technology Campus We broke ground for our Technology Campus in January 2000 with a three-phase plan of completion. Initially, we anticipated the completion of Phase One by fall 2001, but due to the delay in financing, and other challenges we faced, the completion was delayed. The Technology Campus was completed in May 2004 and the Lahore operations relocated to the facilities in May 2004. By relocating the entire Lahore operation from its previously leased premises to the Campus, the Company saves approximately $150,000 annually. The campus is currently capable of housing over 2,500 IT professionals in approximately three acres of land. The campus site is located in Pakistan's second largest city, Lahore, with population of six million. An educational and cultural center, the city is home to most of the leading technology oriented academia of Pakistan including names like LUMS, NU-FAST & UET. These institutions are also the source of quality IT resources for the Company. Lahore is a modern city with very good communication infrastructure and road network. The Technology campus is located at about a 5-minute drive from the newly constructed advanced and high-tech Lahore International Airport. This campus is the first purpose built software building with state of the art technology and communications infrastructure in Pakistan. The Company has made this investment to attract contracts and projects from blue chip customers from all over the world. 29 Employees We believe we have developed a strong corporate culture that is critical to our success. Our key values are delivering world-class quality software, client-focused timely delivery, leadership, long-term relationships, creativity, openness and transparency and professional growth. The services provided by NetSol require proficiency in many fields, such as computer sciences, programming, mathematics, physics, engineering, and communication and presentation skills. Almost every one of our software developers is proficient in the English language. English is the second most spoken language in Pakistan and is mandatory in middle and high schools. To encourage all employees to build on our core values, we reward teamwork and promote individuals who demonstrate these values. NetSol offers all of its employees the opportunity to participate in its stock option program. Also, we have an intensive orientation program for new employees to introduce our core values and a number of internal communications and training initiatives defining and promoting these core values. We believe that our growth and success are attributable in large part to the high caliber of our employees and our commitment to maintain the values on which our success has been based. NetSol worldwide is an equal opportunity employer. NetSol attracts professionals not just from Pakistan, where it is very well known, but also I/T professionals living overseas. Management believes it has been successful in capitalizing on the "Reverse Brain Drain" phenomenon whereby it has been able to attract and retain highly qualified and suitably experienced IT and management professionals working overseas and returning to Pakistan. These include senior management as well as software development professionals that shall directly contribute to the organization improvement of various engineering processes and procedures at NetSol. NetSol believes it has gathered, over the course of many years, a team of very loyal, dedicated and committed employees. Their continuous support and belief in the management has been demonstrated by their further investment of cash. Most of these employees have exercised their stock options during very difficult times for us. Management believes that its employees are the most valuable asset of NetSol. The Company's survival in the most challenging times is due, in part, to their dedication towards continuous achievement of highest quality standards and customer satisfaction. With each acquisition, NetSol is able to combine both work forces. For example, NetSol and CQ Systems have effectively and swiftly integrated the culture, systems and processes creating an environment satisfactory for its employees. Overall, NetSol as a global IT company has over 25% female employees with the biggest concentration in our development facility in Lahore. The Company is an equal opportunity employer. Being a successful company with a well respected name in the business community, NetSol encourages its employees to actively participate and contribute to charitable contributions for catastrophic tragedies such as Tsunami disaster and the Gulf Coast disaster caused by Katrina Hurricane in the US. There is significant competition for employees with the skills required to perform the services we offer. We believe that we have been successful in our efforts to attract and retain the highest level of talent available, in part because of the emphasis on core values, training and professional growth. We intend to continue to recruit, hire and promote employees who share this vision. As of June 30, 2005, we had 530 employees; comprised of 410 IT project personnel in Pakistan, UK and Australia and 125 non-IT personnel in Pakistan, UK, Australia and US. This includes 40 employees in sales and marketing and 85 in general and administration. There are a total of five part-time employees and the rest are full time-employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Our telecom subsidiary NetSolConnect has over 99 full time employees based in Karachi, Pakistan Competition Neither a single company nor a small number of companies dominate the I/T market in the space in which we compete. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those offered by NetSol. Some of these are large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and computer consulting firms that have greater financial resources than NetSol and, in some cases, may have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by NetSol. 30 Some of our competitors are International Decisions Systems, Inc., McCue Systems, EDW, Data Scan, Inc., AIPAC, CHP, KPMG, LMK Resources, Systems Innovations (Si3), Bearing Point, Kalsoft, Systems Limited, Oratech Pakistan, Tech Access Pakistan and a few others These companies are scattered worldwide geographically. In terms of offshore development, we are in competition with some of the Indian companies such as Wipro, HCL, TCS, InfoSys, Satyam Infoway and others. Many of the competitors of NetSol have longer operating history, larger client bases, and longer relationships with clients, greater brand or name recognition and significantly greater financial, technical, and public relations resources than NetSol. Existing or future competitors may develop or offer services that are comparable or superior to ours at a lower price, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Customers Some of the customers of NetSol include: DaimlerChrysler Services AG; DaimlerChrysler Asia Pacific - Singapore; Mercedes Benz Finance - Japan; Yamaha Motors Finance - Australia; Debis Portfolio Systems - UK; DaimlerChrysler Services - Australia; DaimlerChrysler Leasing - Thailand; DaimlerChrysler Services - Korea; UMF Leasing Singapore; MCB Mauritius; Toyota Leasing Thailand; Toyota Motors Finance, China; and, DaimlerChrysler Services New Zealand. In addition, NetSol provides offshore development and customized I/T solutions to blue chip customers such as Citibank Pakistan, DCD Holding UK, TIG Plc in UK and, Habib Allied Bank UK. NetSol is also a strategic business partner for DaimlerChrysler Services (which consists of a group of many companies), which accounts for approximately 20% of our revenue. No other individual client represents more than 10% of the revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. As compared to the previous year, NetSol (Pvt.) Ltd. was able to materialize a number of services contracts within the local Pakistani public and defense sectors. An important aspect of these contracts is that not all of them were solely focusing on software development and engineering. This year, NetSol, has gone a step further by providing consultancy services to organizations so as to improve their quality of operations and services in addition to winning strategically important assignments within the E-Governance domain for organizations of national significance in Pakistan, including, Prime Minister's office and the lower and upper houses of Parliament These clients include private as well as public sector enterprises. Also, NetSol was successful in consolidating its standing as one of the preferred solutions providers for the Military sector and Defense organizations. The service offering portfolio of NetSol has now diversified into a comprehensive supply chain of end to end services and solutions catering to BPR, consultancies, applications development, engineering as well as other supporting processes New Local Customers are as follows: o Pakistan Administrative Staff College o Government of Punjab (Motor Transport Management) o Pakistan Software Export Board o Ministry of Defense (multiple projects) o All Pakistan Textiles Processing Mills Association (APTPMA) o Prime Minister of Pakistan's Secretariat (Electronic Government Directorate) o National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan (Electronic Government Directorate) o Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry The Internet We are committed to regaining and extending the advantages of our direct model approach by moving even greater volumes of product sales, service and support to the Internet.

More details can be found on http://www.netsolhelp.com. 31 Operations Our headquarters are in Calabasas, California. Nearly 80% of the production and development is conducted at NetSol PK in Lahore, Pakistan. The other 20% of development is conducted in the Proximity Development Center or "PDC" in Horsham, UK to cater to the UK and continental European customers. The majority of the marketing is conducted through NetSol Technologies, Pvt Ltd in Lahore, Pakistan, NetSol UK, CQ Systems in the UK, and NetSol CQ in Beijing, China These are the core operating companies engaged in developing and marketing IT solutions and software development and marketing. NetSol UK, together with CQ Systems Ltd., services and supports the clients in the UK and continental Europe. NetSol PK services and supports the customers in the Asia and South Asia regions. A significant portion of our software is developed in Pakistan. Despite global unrest, due to the Iraq war and international terrorism, as well as economic pressure due to skyrocketing oil prices, the economy of Pakistan has made a positive turn around. The economy of Pakistan has grown to over 8.6% in 2005 and it is expected to sustain the same trend for years. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, the foreign exchange reserve has exceeded $13.0 billion in comparison with just below $2.0 billion in 2000. There has been a massive surge in FDI or foreign direct investments in Pakistan by foreigners. These investments have been in many sectors, to name a few: industrial infrastructure, telecom, oil & gas, stock market and real estate. The stock market in Pakistan is the most bullish in the Asia Pacific region with market growth over 600% year to date (Karachi Stock Exchange on October 18, 2001 was at 1,103 points vs. about 7,700 in recent times). Pakistan, now a close US ally, is recognized by the western world as becoming very conducive and attractive for foreign collaboration and investments. The breakthrough `thawing' of relationships between Pakistan and its biggest democratic neighbor, India, has stabilized the South East Asia region. This environment has raised the comfort and confidence of foreign investors and major US and European corporations to enhance their businesses in Pakistan. Due to many strategic measures and decisions by the government of Pakistan, the telecom sector has been privatized. Several new foreign telecom giants have made some serious investments in Pakistan. The biggest example is an U.A.E. based Telecom giant `EITESALAAT' which acquired 26% or management control of `PTCL' a government owned telecom company. This reflects a true potential and tremendous growth opportunities in Pakistan. The Company is in an extremely strong position to continue to use this offshore model, which includes competitive price advantage to serve its customers. Due to all major improvements economically, politically and regionally, Pakistan's perception is improving drastically in recent months. A few major names such as Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Tata Consulting Services (India) and many other major names have recently signed agreements for collaboration and alliances with Pakistani companies. NetSol's few major successes achieved in 2005 were: * A successful acquisition of CQ systems of UK * A successful JV of NetSol and TIG to use offshore development model * A global frame agreement with Daimler Credit Services * Adding blue chip customers such as Toyota Leasing Thailand. Just recently Moody's International assessed Pakistan as less vulnerable than many countries in the Asia Pacific region. Also, Standard & Poors rating on Pakistan has been improved to positive. The present government has taken major bold steps to attract new foreign investment and bolster the local economy. The confidence of the local investors and foreign investors has been undoubtedly enhanced resulting in stronger demand of new listing in the stock markets. Also recently the telecom sector received a boost when the IT ministry was able to successfully auction two new mobile phones licenses for a total of $592 million to two European Telecom conglomerates. This was a landmark development and it simply underscores the confidence and growing interest of foreign companies in investing in Pakistan. Organization NetSol Technologies, Inc. (formerly NetSol International, Inc.) was founded in 1997 and is organized as a Nevada corporation. We amended our Articles of Incorporation on March 20, 2002 to change our name to NetSol Technologies, Inc. 32 Our success, in the near term, will depend, in large part, on our ability to: (a) continue to grow revenues and improve profits, (b) raise funds for continued operations and growth; (c) make a major entry in the US market and, (d) streamline sales and marketing efforts in the Asia Pacific region, Europe, Japan and Australia. However, management's outlook for the continuing operations, which has been consolidated and has been streamlined, remains optimistic and bullish. With continued emphasis on a shift in product mix towards the higher margin consulting services, the Company anticipates to be able to continue to improve operating results at its core by reducing costs and improving gross margins. Management is very excited and positive about a seamless transition and integration of CQ Systems with NetSol front end and back end operations. Intellectual Property We rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, as well as common law trade secret, copyright and trademark laws to protect our proprietary rights. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, generally require our consultants and clients to enter into these agreements, and limits access to and distribution of our proprietary information. The NetSol logo and name, as well as the LeaseSoft logo and product name have been copyrighted and trademark registered in Pakistan. An application has been filed in the US Patent and Trademark Office for the trademark "inBanking". Governmental Approval and Regulation Our current operations do not require specific governmental approvals. Like all companies, including those with multinational subsidiaries, we are subject to the laws of the countries in which we maintain subsidiaries and conduct operations. Pakistani law allows a tax exemption on income from exports of IT services and products up to 2016. While foreign based companies may invest in Pakistan, repatriation of their investment, in the form of dividends or other methods, requires approval of the State Bank of Pakistan. The present Pakistani government has effectively reformed the policies and regulations effecting foreign investors and multinational companies thus, making Pakistan an attractive and friendly country in which to do business. 33 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS The following discussion is intended to assist in an understanding of NetSol's financial position and results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Initiatives and Investment to Grow Capabilities o Achieve CMM Level 5 Accreditation in 2005. o Enhance Software Design, Engineering and Service Delivery Capabilities by increasing investment in training. o Enhance and invest in R&D or between 7-10% of yearly budgets in financial, banking and various other domains within NetSol's core competencies. o Aggressively expand the sales and marketing organizations in all key locations by hiring senior and successful personnel. o Recruiting additional senior level managers in Lahore, China and, UK offices to be able to support potential new customers from the North American, Asian Pacific and European markets. o Aggressively exploit the booming Chinese market by strengthening NetSol's presence in China. o Launch its marketing presence in the US markets through M&A activities in the domain of our core competencies. o Embark on a program of recruiting the best available talent in Project and Program Management o Increase Capex, to enhance Communications and Development Infrastructure. Roll out a second phase of construction of technology Campus in Lahore to respond to a growth of new orders and customers. o Launch new business development initiatives in hyper growth economies such as China and Eastern Europe. o Create new technology partnership with Oracle and strengthen our relationship with Intel in Asia Pacific and in the USA. o Aggressively market LeaseSoft especially in Asia Pacific, Europe and globally. o Forge a partnership with a US based telecom company for its telecom division to fully exploit the explosive market potential in Pakistan. Top Line Growth through Investment in marketing organically and by mergers and acquisition ("M&A") activities: o Launch LeaseSoft into new markets by assigning new, well established companies as distributors in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America. o Aggressive marketing in China for LeaseSoft and related services. o Expand relationships with key customers in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. o Product Positioning through alliances and partnership. 34 o Joint Ventures. o Direct Marketing of Services. o Embark on roll up strategy by broadening M&A activities broadly in the software development domain. o Enhance the sales and marketing organization by hiring new key executives in the US, UK and Asia. o Effectively position and marketing campaign for `Inbanking' or PTS. This is a potentially big revenue generator in the banking domain for which NetSol has already invested significant time and resources towards completing the development of this application. o Explore new diversified opportunities in the areas of Business process Outsourcing. Funding and Investor Relations: o Raise new capital from emerging markets without or limited usage of NetSol securities to further strengthen the balance sheet and capital resources. o Attract long term institutional investors and partners both in the US and in Asia. o Infuse new capital from potential exercise of outstanding investors' warrants and employees options for business development and enhancement of infrastructures. o Continuing to efficiently and prudently manage cash requirements and raise capital from the markets only as it deems absolutely necessary to execute the growth strategy. o Enhance the visibility of company's stock to US based institutional investors, funds and research analysts. Improving the Bottom Line: o Continue to review costs at every level to consolidate and enhance operating efficiencies. o Grow process automation. o Profit Centric Management Incentives. o More local empowerment and P&L Ownership in each Country Office. o Improve productivity at the development facility and business development activities. o Cost efficient management of every operation and continue further consolidation to improve bottom line. o Integrate and centralize the US headquarters and Australian operations and improve the costs and bottom line. Management believes that NetSol is in a position to derive higher productivity based on current capital employed. 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. Management believes that further leverage was provided by the development `engine' of NetSol, which became CMM Level 2 in early 2002. In a quest to continuously improve its quality standards, NetSol reached CMM Level 4 assessment in December 2004. According to the website of SEI of Carnegie Mellon University, USA, only a few software companies in the world have announced their assessment of level 4. Now, as a result of achieving CMM level 4, the Company is experiencing a growing demand for its products and alliances from blue chip companies worldwide. NetSol is now aiming for CMM level 5, the highest CMM level, potentially as early as 2005. NetSol plans to further enhance its capabilities by creating similar development engines in other Southeast Asian countries with CMM levels quality standards. This would make NetSol much more competitive in the industry and provide the capabilities for development in multiple locations. Increases in the number of development locations with these CMM levels of quality standards will provide customers with options and flexibility based on costs and broader access to skills and technology. MATERIAL TRENDS AFFECTING NETSOL NetSol has identified the following material trends affecting NetSol Positive trends: o Outsourcing of services and software development is growing worldwide. o The Global IT budgets are estimated to exceed $1.2 trillion in 2004, according to the internal estimates of Intel Corporation. About 50% of this IT budget would be consumed in the U.S. market alone primarily on the people and processes. 35 o Cost arbitrage, labor costs still very competitive and attractive when compared with India. o Overall economic expansion worldwide and explosive growth in the merging markets specifically. o Regional stability and improving political environment between Pakistan and India. o Economic turnaround in Pakistan including: a steady increase in gross domestic product; much stronger dollar reserves, which is at an all time high of over $13 billion; stabilizing reforms of government and financial institutions; improved credit ratings in the western markets, and elimination of corruption at the highest level. o Stronger ties between the US and Pakistan creating new investment and trade opportunities. o Robust growth in outsourcing globally and investment of major US and European corporations in the developing countries. o Chinese economic boom leading to new market opportunities. Negative trends: o The disturbance in Middle East and rising terrorist activities post 9/11 worldwide have resulted in issuance of travel advisory in some of the most opportunistic markets. In addition, travel restrictions and new immigration laws provide delays and limitations on business travel. o Negative perception and image created by extremism and terrorism in the South Asian region. o Skyrocketing oil prices and unfortunate affects of Hurricane Katrina on US economy. o Continuous impact of Iraq war on US and global economy. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in the external disclosures of NetSol including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. Management believes our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. Valuations based on estimates are reviewed for reasonableness and conservatism on a consistent basis throughout NetSol. Primary areas where our financial information is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions and the application of judgment include our evaluation of impairments of intangible assets, and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, which must be assessed as to whether these assets are likely to be recovered by us through future operations. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. VALUATION OF LONG-LIVED AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS The recoverability of these assets requires considerable judgment and is evaluated on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. As it relates to definite life intangible assets, we apply the impairment rules as required by SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Assets to Be Disposed Of" which requires significant judgment and assumptions related to the expected future cash flows attributable to the intangible asset. The impact of modifying any of these assumptions can have a significant impact on the estimate of fair value and, thus, the recoverability of the asset. INCOME TAXES We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for tax able temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance based upon historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, we estimated the allowance on net deferred tax assets to be one hundred percent of the net deferred tax assets. 36 CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chief Financial Officer In July 2005, Mr. Najeeb Ghauri resigned from his position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company retaining his position as Chairman of the Board under an Executive capacity. Ms. Tina Gilger a CPA and formerly the Company's controller was appointed by the board of directors to replace Mr. Ghauri. Board of Directors At the 2005 Annual Shareholders Meeting a seven member board was elected. The shareholders voted in an overwhelming majority for the new slate of directors. The board now consists of Mr. Najeeb U. Ghauri, Mr. Jim Moody, Mr. Salim Ghauri, Mr. Eugen Beckert, Mr. Naeem U. Ghauri, Mr. Shahid Burki, and Mr. Irfan Mustafa. Mr. Shabir Randeree did not stand for reelection. Mr. Randeree's refusal to stand for reelection is not of the result of any disagreement with NetSol relating to our operations, policies or practices. Effective May 2, 2005, Mr. Mustafa resigned from the board of directors. Mr. Mustafa will continue to serve on the board of the Company's Pakistani subsidiary. Mr. Mustafa's decision to resign from the board was due to personal conflicts and was not the result of any disagreement with NetSol relating to our operations, policies or practices. Effective April 27, 2005, Mr. Derek Soper was appointed to fill the vacancy in the board left by Mr. Randeree's departure. Committees The Audit committee is made up of Mr. Jim Moody as chairman, Mr. Burki and Mr. Beckert as members. The Compensation committee currently consists of Mr. Burki as its chairman. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Mr. Beckert as chairman and Mr. Moody as members. Additional members of the Compensation committee will be appointed at the next board of directors meeting. 37 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) The following unaudited Pro-Forma Statement of Financial Conditions and Statement of Operations have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of NetSol Technologies, Inc.

Net revenues are broken out among the subsidiaries as follows: 2005 % 2004 % ----------- ---------- Netsol USA $ 295,725 2.38% $ 676,857 11.77% Netsol Tech (1) 6,557,031 52.73% 3,190,049 55.49% Netsol Private (2) 776,572 6.24% 483,788 8.42% Netsol Connect 1,143,616 9.19% 778,598 13.54% Netsol UK 687,620 5.53% 356,215 6.20% Netsol-Abraxas Australia 217,470 1.75% 263,555 4.58% CQ Systems 2,311,345 18.58% -- 0.00% Netsol-TiG 448,274 3.60% -- 0.00% ----------- ------ ---------- ------ Total Net Revenues $12,437,653 100.00% $5,749,062 100.00% =========== ====== ========== ====== (1) Refers to NetSol Technologies (Pvt.) Limited (2) Refers to NetSol (Private) Limited The total consolidated net revenue for fiscal year 2005 was $12,437,653 compared to $5,749,062 in fiscal year 2004. This is a nearly 116% increase in revenue. The increase is attributable to increased sales, the acquisition of CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG. The fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was a very busy and exciting period for NetSol worldwide. The Company added a few major new customers such as DaimlerChrysler in China, Japan, and New Zealand and Toyota Leasing Thailand and China. In addition, many new customers were added in Pakistan in both the public and private sectors. NetSol signed many new alliances and partnerships in fiscal year 2005. The most significant of all was the joint venture with a UK based company, The Innovation Group ("TiG"). NetSol owns 51% of this new entity while TIG owns 49%. The partnership is designed to outsource the global IT projects of TiG to NetSol in Pakistan. NetSol made a significant move by acquiring 100% of a UK based software company CQ Systems Ltd. in February 2005. The acquisition of CQ Systems has provided NetSol a very strong and seasoned management team with a mature, profitable, business. NetSol's global frame agreement with DaimlerChrysler Services ("DCS") qualifies NetSol as a preferred vendor to DCS in 40 plus countries where DCS operates. As a direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems with DaimlerChrysler and the signing of the global frame agreement, we are noticing a significant increase in demand for LeaseSoft. Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a 100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe, North America and Pakistan. In fiscal year 2005, NetSol raised the pricing of its LeaseSoft licenses significantly due primarily to a surge in demand. In spring of 2005, one complete system was sold to Toyota Leasing Thailand ("TLT") for nearly $2.3 million that includes over $1.2 million for license fees. A number of large leasing companies will be looking to renew legacy applications. This places NetSol in a very strong position to capitalize on any upturn in IT spending by these companies. NetSol is well positioned to sell several new licenses in fiscal year 2006 that could potentially increase the sales and bottom line. As the Company sells more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices of these products vary from $100,000 to an excess of $1,000,000 with additional charges for customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year. 50 The gross profit was $7,682,904 for year ended June 30, 2005 as compared with $3,049,387 for the same period of the previous year. This is a 152% increase. The gross profit percentage was 62% for the current fiscal year and 53% in the prior year. While the cost of sales and the cost of delivery of projects have both been reduced in the current year, the Company maintained all its delivery commitments and has won new business from existing and new customers. While management is striving to negotiate better pricing on new agreements, the Company has been required to react to overall general economic factors in determining its present pricing structure. The gross profit margin was also improved due to improved quality standards such as achieving the assessment of CMM Level 4 in 2004. Operating expenses were $6,618,199 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $5,757,405 for the year ended June 30, 2004. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company issued 188,972 and 48,613 restricted common shares in exchange for services rendered, respectively. The Company recorded this non-cash compensation expense of $246,650 and $48,240 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Total professional service expense, including non-cash compensation, was $604,192 and $464,332 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $1,564,562 and $1,240,792, included in this increase is the addition of the completion of the Lahore facility. Salaries and wages expenses were $2,022,183 and $1,493,252 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, or an increase of $528,931 or 35%. The addition of the new subsidiary, CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG, as well as an increase in development, sales and administration employees resulted in the increase. Approximately 250 new employees were added throughout the Company during the current fiscal year. General and administrative expenses were $1,588,456 and $1,759,607 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, a decrease of $171,151. This decrease is due to consolidation of US offices, streamlining of corporate overheads and reduction of operating expenses in the Lahore facility due to elimination of building rent. In the prior year, the general and administrative expense included non-recurring expenses for moving both the headquarters office and the Pakistan companies into the new facility, $105,608 in costs for placing the convertible debenture and $122,500 for settlement of legal disputes. Also, the Company had to incur extra costs for the annual shareholders meeting including proxies mailing and other administrative related costs and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased to $782,488 for the year ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $253,701 for the year ended June 30, 2004, reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company and the addition of the new subsidiary, CQ Systems and the joint-venture, NetSol-TIG. The Company wrote-off, as uncollectible, bad debts of $13,118 and $219,909, during the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The income from operations in fiscal year 2005 was $1,064,705 compared to a net loss from operations of $2,708,018 in fiscal year 2004. Included in these amounts are non-cash charges of depreciation and amortization of $1,564,562 and $1,240,792, settlement expenses of $43,200 and $122,500 and bad debt expense of $13,118 and $219,909, respectively. Net income in fiscal year 2005 was $663,325 compared to a net loss of $2,577,058 in fiscal year 2004 or 125.74% decrease. The current fiscal year amount includes a net reduction of $111,073 compared to an add-back of $273,159 in the prior year for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect and NetSol-TiG owned by another party. The Company also recognized non-recurring expenses including $209,848 and $137,230 expense for the beneficial conversion feature on notes payable and convertible debenture, a gain of $0 and $104,088, from writing off a note payable in one of the subsidiaries that had been paid through the issuance of stock by the parent in the prior year and, a gain of $404,136 and $216,230 from the settlement of a debt, respectively. In addition, during the current fiscal year, the Company recorded an expense of $255,130 for the fair market value of options and warrants granted. The net income per share was $0.06 in 2005 compared to a loss of $0.33 in 2004. The total weighted average of shares outstanding basic was 11.6 million and diluted was 14.8 million against basic and diluted 7.9 million in 2004. The net EBITDA income for fiscal 2005 was $2,454,164 compared to loss for fiscal 2004 of $1,029,751 after amortization and depreciation charges of $1,564,562 and $1,240,792, income taxes of $10,416 and $76,638, and interest expense of $215,861 and 229,877, respectively. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their decision-making process. Liquidity And Capital Resources The Company's cash position was $1,371,727 at June 30, 2005 compared to $871,161 at June 30, 2004. In addition the Company had $205,480 compared to $391,403 in certificates of deposit. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was $1,577,207 as of June 30, 2005 compared to $1,262,564 as of June 30, 2004. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $243,872 for the year ended June 30, 2005, as compared to used for $1,770,591 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable and other assets offset by an increase in accounts payable. 51 Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $4,697,488 for the year ended June 30, 2005, as compared to providing $3,406,964 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the purchase of CQ Systems and the related increase in intangible assets acquired. During the prior fiscal year, the Company had proceeds of $210,000 from the sale of a minority interest in the Company's subsidiary NetSol Connect, whereas in the current fiscal year the Company received $178,521 of additional capital from the minority interests. In addition, the Company had net purchases of property and equipment of $1,468,499 compared to $2,861,754 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The majority of this reflects the capitalized costs of the Lahore facility of approximately $1.37 million and $2.32 million, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4,826,927 and $5,774,256 for years ended June 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The current fiscal year included the cash inflow of $1,512,000 from the sale of common stock and $1,260,057 from the exercising of stock options and warrants, compared to $1,848,750 and $1,445,392 in the prior year, respectively. In the current fiscal year, the Company had net proceeds from loans of $1,247,351 as compared to $1,301,571 in the comparable period last year. The Company also obtained a $1,200,000 convertible debenture during the prior fiscal year. The short term notes acquired during the current fiscal year were utilized to execute the acquisition of CQ Systems. As of June 30, 2005 the Company's working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $3,458,302 compared to $410,991 as of June 30, 2004, a increase of $3,047,311. In the current fiscal year, the Company sold a total of $1,512,000 of its common stock in private placements. In fiscal 2004, the Company raised capital from financing with Maxim Group of $1.85 million, net of expenses. In addition, $1.2 million in convertible debentures were issued during the prior fiscal year and approximately $487,000 from the exercising of warrants. The Company has over $3.9 million in accounts receivable and $1.96 million in revenues in excess of billings. The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and beef up marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers, largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts. Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of investor warrants and employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. The Company has consistently improved its cash position in last four quarters through investors' exercise of warrants, employee options exercised, private placements and the signing of new business. We anticipate this trend to continue in the current and future quarters, further improving the cash resources and liquidity position. Management is committed to implementing the growth business strategy that was ratified by the board of directors in July 2005. The company would continue to inject new capital towards expansion, grow sales and marketing and further enhancement of delivery capabilities. NetSol's Technology Campus in Lahore was completed in May 2004 and the staff was relocated into this new building. The Phase One will easily hold up to 500 programmers, engineers and other related staff. NetSol has already experienced a very positive response to this move from the business community, our existing customers and prospective new customers worldwide. The completion of technology campus is a major milestone for NetSol, employees, customers and the shareholders. Due to its recent growth, management has already started the planning of constructing a new phase by erecting another structure behind the current building. 52 QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AS COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004: Net revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $4,469,985 as compared to $2,058,305 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Net revenues are broken out among the subsidiaries as follows: 2005 2004 ------------ ------------- Netsol USA $ -- $ 170,134 Netsol Tech 1,662,351 1,113,859 Netsol Private 477,186 302,809 Netsol Connect 252,337 268,334 Netsol-TiG 345,705 - Netsol UK 238,672 172,261 CQ Systems 1,406,011 - Netsol-Abraxas Australia 87,723 30,908 ------------ ------------- Total Net Revenues $4,469,985 $2,058,305 ============ ============= This reflects an increase of $2,411,680 or 117% in the current quarter as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The increase is attributable mostly to growth in services business, a full quarter of revenues attributed by the newly acquired CQ Systems in UK, growing outsourcing business of NetSol-TIG (JV) and additional maintenance work. The Company's biggest revenue growth was achieved in all three of its Pakistan based subsidiaries, which generated sales both domestically and internationally. The Company has experienced solid and consistent demand for IT services in the domestic sectors of Pakistan. NetSol made a significant move by acquiring 100% of a UK based software company CQ Systems Ltd. in February 2005. The acquisition of CQ Systems has provided NetSol a very strong and seasoned management team with a mature, profitable, business. The Company added a few major new customers such as DaimlerChrysler in China, Japan, and New Zealand and Toyota Leasing Thailand and China. In addition, many new customers were added in Pakistan in both the public and private sectors. NetSol signed many new alliances and partnerships in fiscal year 2005. The most significant of all was the joint venture with a UK based company, The Innovation Group ("TiG"). NetSol owns 51% of this new entity while TIG owns 49%. The partnership is designed to outsource the global IT projects of TiG to NetSol in Pakistan. NetSol's global frame agreement with DaimlerChrysler Services ("DCS") qualifies NetSol as a preferred vendor to DCS in 40 plus countries where DCS operates. As a direct result of the successful implementations of some of our current systems with DaimlerChrysler and the signing of the global frame agreement, we are noticing a significant increase in demand for LeaseSoft. Although the sales cycle for LeaseSoft is rather long, we are experiencing a 100% increase in product demonstration, evaluation and assessment by blue chip companies in the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe, North America and Pakistan.

NetSol is well positioned to sell several new licenses in fiscal year 2006 that could potentially increase the sales and bottom line. As the Company sells more of these licenses, management believes it is possible that the margins could increase to upward of 70%. The license prices of these products vary from $300,000 to an excess of $1,000,000 with additional charges for customization and maintenance of between 20%-30% each year. The gross profit was $2,802,635 in the quarter ending September 30, 2005 as compared with $1,296,037 for the same quarter of the previous year for an increase of $905,082. The gross profit percentage remains at approximately 63% in the quarter ended September 30, 2005. In comparison to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2005, the cost of sales decreased approximately $143,528 and revenues increased $4,782 or an overall increase of 3% in gross profit. 53 Operating expenses were $2,130,429 for the quarter ending September 30, 2005 as compared to $1,153,971, for the corresponding period last year. The increase is mainly attributable to increased selling and marketing activities, additional employees and an increase in overall activities due to our increased marketing efforts. Depreciation and amortization expense amounted to $552,531 and $295,537 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting the intangible assets purchased from the CQ Systems acquisition in February 2005. Combined salaries and wage costs were $536,376 and $347,237 for the comparable periods, respectively, or an increase of $189,139 from the corresponding period last year. The addition of the new subsidiary, CQ Systems and the forming of the joint-venture with TiG, as well as an increase in development, sales and administration employees resulted in the increase. Approximately 250 new employees were added throughout the Company during the last fiscal year. Selling and marketing expenses were $318,864 and $119,348, in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting the growing sales activity of the Company. Professional services expense increased slightly to $123,158 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, from $114,334 in the corresponding period last year. Income from operations was $672,206 compared to $142,066 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This represents an increase of $530,140 or 373% for the quarter compared with the comparable period in the prior year. This is directly due to improved sales activity. Net income was $203,745 compared to $139,733 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This is an increase of $151,786 or 45.81% compared to the prior year. The current fiscal quarter amount includes a net reduction of $367,213 compared to an add-back of $15,068 in the prior period for the 49.9% minority interest in NetSol Connect and NetSol-TiG owned by another party, and the 28.13% minority interest in NetSol PK. During the current quarter, the Company also recognized an expense of $6,569 compared to $37,500 for the beneficial conversion feature on convertible debentures, an expense of $9,489 compared to $28,024 for the fair market value of warrants issued and a gain of $3,641 compared to $50,274 from the settlement of a debt. Net income per share, basic and diluted, was $0.01 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The net EBITDA income was $897,407 compared to $458,359 after amortization and depreciation charges of $552,531 and $295,537, income taxes of $62,108 and $1,514, and interest expense of $79,023 and $21,575, respectively. Although the net EBITDA income is a non-GAAP measure of performance we are providing it for the benefit of our investors and shareholders to assist them in their decision-making process. The increase in amortization and depreciation is mostly attributed to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the purchase of CQ Systems LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash position was $1,469,154 at September 30, 2005 compared to $204,850 at September 30, 2004. In addition the Company had $2,487,577 in certificates of deposit in the form of short-term investment accounts. The total cash position, including the certificates of deposits, was $3,956,731 as of September 30, 2005. Net cash used for operating activities amounted to $1,106,844 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $1,062,227 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The increase is mainly due to an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $3,220,571 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to provided by $236,614 for the comparable period last fiscal year. The difference lies primarily in the increase in net purchases of certificates of deposits in the current fiscal year of $2,282,097 compared to net proceeds of $250,000 in the prior year. In addition, the Company had net purchases of property and equipment of $726,630 compared to $127,002 for the comparable period last fiscal year. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4,410,299 and $137,329 for the quarters ended September 30, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The quarter ended September 30, 2005 included the cash inflow of $0 compared to $220,000 from issuance of equity and $288,062 compared to $0 from the exercising of stock options and warrants. In the current fiscal period, the Company had net proceeds on loans and capital leases of $91,236 as compared to net payments of $30,967 in the comparable period last year. In addition, the Company received net proceeds of $4,031,001 from the sale of a subsidiary's common stock in an IPO on the Karachi Stock Exchange. 54 The Company plans on pursuing various and feasible means of raising new funding to expand its infrastructure, enhance product offerings and beef up marketing and sales activities in strategic markets. The strong growth in earnings and the signing of larger contracts with Fortune 500 customers largely depends on the financial strength of NetSol. Generally, the bigger name clients and new prospects diligently analyze and take into consideration a stronger balance sheet before awarding big projects to vendors. Therefore, NetSol would continue its effort to further enhance its financial resources in order to continue to attract large name customers and big value contracts. Management feels that a major requirement of institutional investors is a much stronger balance sheet and a healthy cash position. Management expects to continue to improve its cash position in the current and future quarters due to the new business signed up in the last quarter. In addition, the Company anticipates additional exercises of employee stock options in the current and subsequent quarters. The Company has consistently improved its cash position in last four quarters through employees' exercise of options, the IPO of the Pakistani subsidiary, private placements, and the signing of new business. We anticipate this trend to continue in the current and future quarters, further improving the cash resources and liquidity position. Management is committed to implementing the growth business strategy that was ratified by the board of directors in July 2005. The company would continue to inject new capital towards expansion, grow sales and marketing and further enhancement of delivery capabilities. 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 have the following capital needs: o In next 6 months the final payment of CQ Systems would be due based on the formula of 'earn out'. This could be in the range of $1.0MN to $3.7MN o Notes payable for approximately $800,000 o Working capital of $1.0 million for UK business expansion, 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 consider raising capital through the following methods: equity based financing; warrant and option exercises. We would, however, use some of our internal cash flow to meet certain obligations as mentioned above. The methods of raising funds for capital needs may differ based on the following: o Stock volatility due to market conditions in general and NetSol stock performance in particular. This may cause a shift in our approach to raise new capital through other sources such as secured long term debt. o Analysis of the cost of raising capital in the U.S., Europe or emerging markets. By way of example only, if the cost of raising capital is high in one market and it may negatively affect the company's stock performance, we may explore options available in other markets. Should global or other general macro economic factors cause an adverse climate, we would defer new financing and use internal cash flow for capital expenditures. Dividends and Redemption It has been the Company's policy to invest earnings in the growth of the Company rather than distribute earnings as dividends. This policy, under which dividends have not been paid since the Company's inception and is expected to continue, but is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors. 55 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Company Facilities Our corporate headquarters in California consists of approximately 1,706 rentable square feet and a monthly rent of $4,317.75.

Lahore Technology Campus The newly built Technology Campus was inaugurated in Lahore, Pakistan in May 2004. This facility consists of 40,000 square feet of computer and general office space. This facility is state of the art, purpose-built and fully dedicated for IT and software development; the first of its kind in Pakistan. Title to this facility is held by NetSol Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and is not subject to any mortgages. The Company also signed a strategic alliance agreement with the IT ministry of Pakistan to convert the technology campus into a technology park. By this agreement, the IT ministry has invested early 10 million Rupees (approximately $150,000) to install fiber optic lines and improve the bandwidth for the facility. NetSol has currently over 400 employees in this new facility. 56 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS In 2002, Najeeb, Naeem and Salim Ghauri loaned $141,893 to the Company's Pakistani subsidiary for business operations at the Pakistani subsidiary, including but not limited to payroll and other office related expenses. At the time of this loan, the Company was unable to borrow funds from any third party. The loan accrues interest at 18% per annum and was understood to be due at such time as the Company was able to repay it. The principal and accrued interest of $57,776 was paid in full by offsetting funds due from the lenders as a result of option exercises in the amount of $200,973 in November 2003. Since 2002, Najeeb, Naeem and Salim Ghauri have deferred portions of their salaries, receiving lower cash pay-outs. These deferred amounts have been used by the officers to offset funds due for option exercises. In January 2004, we entered into employment agreements with Najeeb Ghauri, Naeem Ghauri, and Salim Ghauri. These agreements were amended effective April 1 2005. Despite this amendment, which resulted in salary increases to all three named employees, the employees have elected to defer the portion of the salary due for option exercises. These agreements are discussed in the section entitled "Executive Compensation" beginning on page 59. In March 2004, Najeeb and Naeem Ghauri exercised options to acquire shares of common stock of the Company. At the time of the exercise, they mistakenly believed that sufficient funds were due to them from the Company and compensation deferral to pay for these options. Upon the exercise, Mr. Najeeb Ghauri owed $30,851.54 and Mr. Naeem Ghauri owed $7,249.30 to the Company. The funds due were repaid through the normal salary deferral to the Company by the end of May, in the case of Mr. Naeem Ghauri and, the end of August 2004, in the case of Mr. Najeeb Ghauri In December 2004, Najeeb, Naeem and Salim Ghauri exercised options to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. At the time of the exercise, they mistakenly believed that sufficient funds were due to them from compensation deferral to pay for these options. Upon discovering that sufficient liabilities were not available to offset the monies due for the exercise, these shares were immediately cancelled by the Company. In March 2005, Najeeb Ghauri executed notes dated November 28, 2003 for $80,417 and March 31, 2004 for $25,000 for the benefit of the Company to memorialize funds due to the Company for option exercises made on November 28, 2003 and March 31, 2004. In March 2005, Mr. Naeem Ghauri executed a note dated November 28, 2003 in the amount of $48,335 to memorialize funds due to the Company for option exercises made on that date. In March 2005, Mr. Salim Ghauri executed a note dated November 28, 2003 in the amount of $72,221 to memorialize funds due to the Company for option exercises made on November 28, 2003. Messrs. Ghauri executed these notes on the mistaken belief that these funds were due to the Company for these option exercises. A subsequent review of funds loaned by the officers to the Company and due to the officers for deferred compensation and bonuses demonstrated that the amounts represented by these notes were not due by these officers. Accordingly, as the notes do not reflect the amount owed, if any, and are based on a mistaken belief of both the officers and the Company, these notes have been voided effective July 2005. In July 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved compensation for service on the Board. This compensation is discussed in the sections entitled "Executive Compensation" and "Compensation of Directors" beginning on pages 53 and 56 respectively. In July 2005, the Board also approved compensation for service on the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. This compensation is discussed in sections entitled "Compensation of Directors" beginning on page 56. In July 2005, the independent members of the Board of directors awarded a performance bonus of $50,000 each to Messrs. Najeeb, Naeem and Salim Ghauri in connection with the Company's performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Company's management believes that the terms of these transactions were no less favorable to us than would have been obtained from an unaffiliated third party in similar transactions. Certain of the transactions, such as the exercise of options by Company employees against salary and other funds due are unavailable to unaffiliated third parties. However, the Company believes that such transactions are favorable to the Company in that the Company, which has traditionally been in a cash poor position, has not been required to use cash resources to pay salaries, expense reimbursements or loans. All future transactions with affiliates will be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties, and will be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors. Nevertheless, the errors related to the March 2004 and December 2004 transactions may constitute violations of Section 13(k)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") by the Company and/or the named officers. A possible violation of Section 13(k)(1) of the Exchange Act may result in an investigation by the SEC. Violations of Section 13(k) (1) of the Exchange Act may expose the Company and the named officers to possible civil and criminal penalties. 57 MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION - Common stock of NetSol Technologies, Inc. is listed and traded on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the ticker symbol "NTWK."

See accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 and financial services industries worldwide. The Company also provides consulting 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-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2005. The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports. Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol (Pvt), Limited ("PK Private"), NetSol Technologies Limited ("UK"), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. ("Abraxas"), NetSol Altvia, Inc. ("USA"), CQ Systems Limited ("CQ"), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies (Pvt), Ltd.("PK Tech"), NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. ("Connect"), and TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited ("TIG"). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, 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 December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period's financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: "Earnings per share" is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". Basic net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 NET INCOME SHARES PER SHARE - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share: $ 203,745 13,897,883 $ 0.01 Net income available to common shareholders Effect of dilutive securities Stock options 347,064 Warrants 1,667 ---------- ---------- --------- Diluted earnings per share $ 203,745 14,246,614 $ 0.01 ========== ========== ========= - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 NET INCOME SHARES PER SHARE - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per share: $ 139,733 9,504,789 $ 0.01 Net income available to common shareholders Effect of dilutive securities Stock options 1,852,277 Warrants 708,668 ---------- ----------- --------- Diluted earnings per share $ 139,733 12,065,734 $ 0.01 ========== =========== =========

NetSol Technologies, Inc., and subsidiary NetSol USA, Inc., use the U.S. dollars as the functional currencies. 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.

Pro forma information using the Black-Scholes method at the date of grant based on the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 3.25% Expected life 10 years Expected volatility 54% - 57% Dividend yield 0% During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, one debenture holder converted their note into common stock. As part of the conversion, warrants to purchase a total of 13,441 common shares were issued to the note holder. The warrants expire in five years and have an exercise price of $3.30 per share. The warrants were valued using the fair value method at $9,489 or $0.71 per share and recorded the expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Black-Scholes option pricing model used the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 3.25% Expected life 5 years Expected volatility 56% Dividend yield 0% NOTE 9 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill. The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 has been evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense 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 by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value.

F-11 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NetSol Technologies (Pvt), Ltd.("PK Tech"), NetSol (Pvt), Limited ("PK Private"), NetSol Technologies Limited ("UK"), NetSol-Abraxas Australia Pty Ltd. ("Abraxas"), NetSol Altvia, Inc. ("USA"), CQ Systems Limited ("CQ"), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, NetSol Connect (Pvt), Ltd. ("Connect"), and TIG-NetSol (Pvt) Limited ("TIG"). All material inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Company name change: Effective February 8, 2002, the Company changed its name from NetSol International, Inc. to NetSol Technologies, Inc. The name change was approved by a majority of shareholders at the Company's annual shareholders meeting held on January 25, 2002. Business Activity: The Company designs, develops, markets, and exports proprietary software products to customers in the automobile finance and leasing industry worldwide. The Company also provides consulting services in exchange for fees from customers. 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. Effective April 1, 2001, the management determined that the remaining useful life of all its acquired intangible assets to be approximately five years, and accordingly, accelerated the amortization of these intangibles. This change in estimate increased the depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $700,000 for the year ended June 30, 2002 and $400,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2001. Due to impairment losses recognized to intangibles, the remaining net intangible balance of approximately $6,860,000 (including goodwill of $1,950,000) at the date of change in estimation in 2001 has been amortized over the remaining life of 57 months. The Company evaluates, on on-going basis, the accounting effect arising from the recently issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles" which became effective to the Company's financial statements beginning July 1, 2002. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations. Concentration The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. F-12 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounts Receivable: The Company's customer base consists of a geographically dispersed customer base. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Revenues in excess of billings: "Revenues in excess of billings" represent the total of the project to be billed to the customer over the life of the project. As each phase is completed and billed to the customer, the corresponding percentage of completion amount is transferred from this account to "Accounts Receivable." Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation is computed using various methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. The Company accounts for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The Company capitalizes costs of materials, consultants, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees incurred in developing internal-use computer software. These costs are included with "Computer equipment and software." Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are charged to general and administrative expense. Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of product licenses, renewals, enhancements, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, customer lists and goodwill. The Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 is being evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to the financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002. As part of intangible assets, the Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense 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. F-13 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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. Statement of Cash Flows: In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows," cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") and The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, SOP 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts," and Accounting Research Bulletin 45 (ARB 45) "Long-Term Construction Type Contracts." The Company's revenue recognition policy is as follows: License Revenue: 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 collectibilty is probable. Revenue from the sale of licenses with major customization, modification, and development is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Revenue from the implementation of software is recognized on a percentage of completion method, in conformity with Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 45 and SOP 81-1. Any revenues from software arrangements with multiple elements are allocated to each element of the arrangement based on the relative fair values using specific objective evidence as defined in the SOPs. An output measure of "Unit of Work Completed" is used to determine the percentage of completion which measures the results achieved at a specific date. Units completed are certified by the Project Manager and EVP IT/ Operations. Services Revenue: 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. Fair Value: Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate carrying values of such amounts. Advertising Costs: The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $127,602 and $37,801, respectively. F-14 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Net Loss Per Share: Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share." Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the year ended June 30, 2005 Net Income Shares Per Share - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basic earnings per share: $ 663,325 11,597,625 $0.06 Net income available to common shareholders Effect of dilutive securities Stock options 2,515,114 Warrants 663,584 ---------- ---------- ----- Diluted earnings per share $ 663,325 14,776,323 $0.04 ========== ========== =====
The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted loss per share is the same in these financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2004 since the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. Reverse stock split: On August 18, 2003, the Company affected a 1 for 5 reverse stock-split for all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All historical share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the 5:1 reverse stock split. Other Comprehensive Income & Foreign Currency Translation: SFAS 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available for sale securities, currency translation adjustments, and minimum pension liability, which prior to adoption were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. The accounts of NetSol UK and CQ Systems use British Pounds; NetSol Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., NetSol Private, NetSol Connect, and TiG-Netsol use Pakistan Rupees; NetSol Abraxas uses the Australian dollar as the functional currencies. NetSol Technologies, Inc., and NetSol Altvia, Inc., uses U.S. dollars as the functional currencies. 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. During the year ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, comprehensive income included net translation loss of $282,129 and $387,859, respectively. Other comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in the stockholders' equity section amounted to $520,691 as of June 30, 2005. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation: The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which applies the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with this standard, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 44 (Interpretation 44), "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." Interpretation 44 provides criteria for the recognition of compensation expense in certain stock-based compensation arrangements that are accounted for under APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Interpretation 44 became effective July 1, 2000, with certain provisions that were effective retroactively to December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000. Interpretation 44 did not have any material impact on the Company's financial statements. F-15 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had net federal and state operating loss carry forwards expiring in various years through 2025. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the valuation allowance increased by $651,617; primarily due to the application of the current year net loss for the US companies to the net operating loss carry forward. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. A summary at June 30, 2005 is as follows:
Federal State Total ------------ ------------ ------------ Net operating loss carry forward - June 30, 2004 $ 22,479,286 $ 9,503,419 Net loss 3,245,957 3,245,957 ------------ ------------ Net operating loss carry forward - June 30, 2005 25,725,243 12,749,376 Effective tax rate 32% 8% ------------ ------------ Deferred tax asset 8,232,078 1,019,950 9,252,028 Valuation allowance (6,672,078) (629,950) (7,302,028) ------------ ------------ ------------ Net deferred tax asset 1,560,000 390,000 1,950,000 Deferred tax liability arising from non-taxable business combinations 1,560,000 390,000 1,950,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Net deferred tax liability $ (0) $ 0 $ (0) ============ ============ ============

SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow and foreign currency hedges and establishes respective accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. After adoption, the Company is required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The Company has complied with the requirements of SFAS 133, the effect of which was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations as the Company does not participates in such activities. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of: Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. For goodwill not identifiable with an impaired asset, the Company establishes benchmarks at the lowest level (entity level) as its method of assessing impairment. In measuring impairment, unidentifiable goodwill is considered impaired if the fair value at the lowest level is less than its carrying amount. The fair value of unidentifiable goodwill is determined by subtracting the fair value of the recognized net assets at the lowest level (excluding goodwill) from the value at the lowest level. The amount of the impairment loss is equal to the difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the fair value of goodwill. In the event that impairment is recognized, appropriate disclosures are made. Goodwill of a reporting unit is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of reporting unit goodwill is evaluated based on a comparison of the reporting unit's carrying value to the implied fair value of the reporting unit. Conditions that indicate that an impairment of goodwill exists include a sustained decrease in the market value of the reporting unit or an adverse change in business climate. On June 30, 2004, the Company evaluated the valuation of goodwill based upon the performance and market value of NetSol USA. The Company determined the goodwill was impaired and recorded the impairment of $203,312 at June 30, 2004, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Reporting segments: Statement of financial accounting standards No. 131, Disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information (SFAS No. 131), which superceded statement of financial accounting standards No. 14, Financial reporting for segments of a business enterprise, establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. The Company allocates its resources and assesses the performance of its sales activities based upon geographic locations of its subsidiaries (see note 12). F-17 NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS New Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting in Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however, the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company is evaluating the effects adoption of SFAS 123R will have on its financial statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior period's financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements. Reclassifications: For comparative purposes, prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with report classifications of the current year.
