Najeeb Ghauri, NetSol Technologies chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "Our fiscal second quarter 2010 financial results marked our third consecutive quarter of double-digit sequential revenue growth, highlighted by an 81% increase in sales versus the year ago period. NetSol also delivered material improvements in gross margin, operating income, GAAP net income, and EBITDA results versus the year ago period. These performance gains highlight the significant improvement in NetSol's core business as we continue to successfully convert our business pipeline to customer wins. Revenues from license fees resumed a pre-recession trajectory growing over 400% year-over-year as global customers began to further unlock spending and resume the purchase of large strategic software solutions, particularly in the automotive and financial sectors. Additionally, we continue to implement efficiency measures aimed at increasing our long-term profitability. Our efforts to continuously rationalize operating expenses included the relocation of our global and operating headquarters in the U.S., now under the leadership of Mr. Imran Haider, the recently appointed Chief Operating Officer of NetSol North America, Inc., to Alameda which is expected to save the company an estimated $5 million over a 5 year period.

"As NetSol continued to invest in its core NetSol Financial Suite (NFS)™ throughout the global economic downturn the company is well positioned to leverage the upturn in customer activity we continue to see, particularly in China, as NetSol begins the second half of its fiscal year 2010 with continued positive momentum. We are continuing to see increased interest among major customers as well as potential partners in the sector and see excellent opportunities for collaboration and strategic initiatives as we look ahead to the second half of our fiscal year 2010," concluded Mr. Ghauri.

NetSol reported consolidated revenues of $9.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, representing an 81% increase as compared to the same period a year ago.

U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net loss applicable to common shareholders for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was approximately $0.4 million, or a loss of $0.01 per diluted share, which compares to GAAP net loss of applicable to common shareholders of $3.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the same period a year ago. U.S. GAAP net loss applicable to common shareholders for the second quarter fiscal year 2010 was primarily attributable to $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in expense related to the relocation of NetSol's headquarters in California and the $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in expense related to the beneficial conversion feature of convertible securities. The relocation of NetSol's global and U.S. corporate headquarters to Alameda, California is projected to provide savings of $5 million over a five year period.
