ID Interactive's strengths in the business-to-business and consumer mobile content space are synergistic with our core strategy of providing custom outsourced software application development. Following a comprehensive due diligence, we believe this moderate upfront investment looks to provide further diversification of NetSol's software development business and would position our two companies to favorably leverage the worldwide growth of customized interactive mobile content and data services."

Azmat Mohammed, ID Interactive Chief Executive Officer, stated, "ID Interactive has created technology that is truly innovative and, as we look to take our services worldwide, we embrace the prospect of working with NetSol Technologies, a company with a like-minded vision and a global footprint.

With its intuitive graphical user interface we are just scratching the surface of its potential and believe, with the help of NetSol Technologies, our wireless platform and our other innovations will become market leaders."

Under the terms of the agreement, compensation for the majority stake in ID Interactive to its founders will be calculated through a performance based, multi-year earn out formula related to annual revenue and earnings growth.
