"Our LeaseSoft license sales are now consistently driving revenue, as evidenced by a recent contract for $2.1 million from a top five automotive finance company," continued Ghauri. "These recent LeaseSoft license agreements and exponential growth in our services business have resulted in a significant sales backlog. It is important to note that each LeaseSoft licensing agreement produces a recurring, high-gross-margined revenue stream for an average of five years."

"We fully expect our NetSol-TiG joint venture, which began operations in March 2005, along with our telecommunications subsidiary, NetSol-Akhter, and the newest member of the NetSol family, CQ Systems, to assist in propelling our robust revenue growth well into fiscal 2006, as the company executes on global marketing and sales initiatives and continues to leverage its strategic partnerships to drive a significant increase in sales," said NetSol Chairman Najeeb U. Ghauri.

Ghauri noted, "The traction in the market from our LeaseSoft product line will be augmented by CQ Systems’ complementary product line and aggressive sales team. Our inBanking™ product has been significantly enhanced utilizing the n-Tier Architecture standard and is progressing well as a development-stage product. Based on our marketing information, we believe this product has the potential to be as successful, if not more so, than our flagship LeaseSoft product. We look forward to the commercialization of our inBanking product in late 2005."
