From: NetSol Technologies, Inc.
Published: Tue Mar 22 2005


Calabasas, CA – March 22, 2005 – NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTWK), a developer of proprietary software applications and provider of information technology (IT) services, today announced that its recently acquired, wholly-owned subsidiary, CQ Systems Ltd., has successfully implemented its enterprise insurance premium finance (IPF) solution, Aapex, at Aascent Finance Company Ltd. The contract is valued at more than $650,000, with additional support and maintenance revenue in coming years.

"We are pleased to announce our month-old acquisition of CQ Systems is already creating tremendous value for NetSol," said Najeeb U. Ghauri, chairman for NetSol Technologies, Inc. "We have hit the ground running with this first successful implementation of Aapex. Not only has the acquisition begun adding to top line growth, but has provided an instant foray into the billion dollar insurance industry software and IT services market."

Aascent, which specializes in the commercial insurance premium finance market, selected CQ Systems to implement their Enterprise IPF Solution, known as Aapex, to deliver front-to-back office automated processing for their insurance premium finance products.

"This enhanced, customized system will enable us to focus on client satisfaction and business generation in the knowledge that the power, flexibility and security provided by our systems have produced unlimited business growth opportunity and superior customer service," said Edward Ferrell, Aascent Director and Project Sponsor. "The Aapex Enterprise Solution is a solution truly in line with our strategy to be ‘above the rest.’"

The customized version of Aapex was built for expanded flexibility and service required from Aascent’s front- to-back office systems, allowing for new products to be introduced quickly with minimal supplier assistance, scalable to meet the projected rapid business growth, and powerful enough to expand the business without adding administration staff. This required a new solution to reflect Aascent’s highly professional service and provide their brokers with a comprehensive, fully integrated, web-based, point of sale, on-line 24/7 system. Aascent also required a fully automated loan management solution. The final solution provides direct information entry, quotation, financial modeling, client enquiry, management and business reporting.

In February of 2005, NetSol announced it has completed the acquisition of U.K.-based CQ Systems Ltd., a well-known provider of asset based financial solutions in the U.K. market, ahead of schedule.
