NetSol Technologies, Inc., a developer of proprietary software applications, today reported net revenues for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2003, of $914,259, an increase of seven percent as compared to revenues of $854,979 for the same calendar quarter of 2002.

The company reported a pro forma loss for the third quarter ended March 31, 2003, of $52,647, or a loss per share of $0.02, a significant improvement when compared to a pro forma loss of $649,103, or a loss per share of $0.07, for the prior year's comparable quarter. According to NetSol's CEO Naeem Ghauri, increases in software license sales with greater margins produced gross profits of $504,648, an 83 percent increase when compared to gross profit of $275,095 for the comparable quarter.

"Results in the third quarter were in line with our expectations," commented NetSol Chairman Najeeb U. Ghauri. "During the quarter, operating expenses were reduced by approximately 28 percent when compared to the third quarter of 2002. This included a reduction of approximately 56 percent in salaries and associated costs, along with a 28 percent reduction of expenses for professional and general and administrative services. We will continue to contain our operational costs, while investing into product enhancements and expanding our sales and marketing efforts throughout the remainder of the year and into fiscal 2004."

The company strengthened its balance sheet with significant improvements in cash and cash equivalents. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, NetSol reported cash and cash equivalents of approximately $500,000, an 858 percent increase when compared to approximately $52,000 for the third quarter of 2002. Net Stockholder equity for the period was approximately $5.1 million.

"We have an impressive pipeline of new business within our Asia Pacific, U.S. and European markets," noted Naeem Ghauri. "The war in Iraq, the geo-political situation in general, and the SARS scare delayed closing of several new contracts. We expect to have these contracts signed over the next two quarters.

"Software companies that have survived during the last 18- to 24-month technology slowdown are those with viable business models, strong delivery processes and a sound strategic business plan," continued Naeem Ghauri. "NetSol has survived and has overcome tremendous challenges due to every NetSol employee's sheer commitment to succeed. We are well positioned to take advantage of the improving trends within the business community and are firmly committed to grow revenue and become a profitable company."

"I believe it is evident to our stockholders that NetSol is in a growth mode," commented Najeeb Ghauri. "While there are still significant challenges within the U.S. and international business community, our team is battle-hardened and poised to aggressively pursue new opportunities within the IT services arena."
