NOTE 14 – CONTINGENCIES

 

As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and three of its current or former officers and/or directors, which have been consolidated under the caption Rand-Heart of New York, Inc. v. NetSol Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-05787 PA (SHx). Plaintiffs subsequently filed a consolidated complaint, which asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 premised on allegedly false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s next generation product, NFS AscentTM, and business prospects during the proposed class period of November 12, 2009 to November 8, 2013. On March 19, 2015, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On March 31, 2015, plaintiffs filed a further amended complaint that contains similar but more narrow allegations than the predecessor complaint. The Company’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint is scheduled to be heard on June 8, 2015.

 

The Company continues to believe the amended allegations are meritless and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. The Company has engaged counsel and has liability insurance. Given the early stage of the litigation, however, at this time the Company is unable to form a professional judgment that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and it is not possible to assess whether or not the outcome of these proceedings will or will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
