NEWS RELEASE
 
 
NETSOL TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES ONE MILLION SHARE REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION

 
CALABASAS, CA - March 24, 2008 -- NetSol Technologies Inc. (“NetSol”) (NasdaqCM: NTWK), a multinational provider of IT services and enterprise software to the financial services industry, announced today the Company's Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program authorization to buy back up to one million of its issued and outstanding common shares. The stock repurchase plan will be effective March 24, 2008 through September 24, 2008.

NetSol CEO and Chairman Najeeb Ghauri states, “NetSol’s Board of Directors approval of the new share repurchase program reflects the confidence it has in NetSol’s future and the value it sees in the Company’s current share price. While we continue to focus on the strength of our balance sheet to provide financial flexibility to support our global growth initiatives aimed at expanding our IT services and enterprise software offerings, we believe this program offers NetSol the ability to opportunistically repurchase shares when market conditions are favorable. We believe that selectively repurchasing NetSol stock is one of the best investments we can make right now and that today's announcement demonstrates NetSol's commitment to enhancing long-term value for our shareholders.”

Stock repurchases conducted under this program may be made through open market transactions and, from time to time, privately negotiated transactions with third parties, and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases will depend on factors such as the stock price, economic and market conditions, alternative investment opportunities, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other market conditions. Repurchased shares would be returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares of common stock. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase plan has been structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Act of 1934.

As of March 10, 2008 NetSol had approximately 25,238,818 ordinary shares outstanding.
