NTWK Thrives Despite Economic Turbulence
When NetSol Technologies announced recently that it had secured $3 million from a major international automotive maker’s captive finance company in the Asia-Pacific region, it was just one more reflection of the very real difference between NetSol and so many other companies in the enterprise software business. In the midst of the most challenging period in that industry, perhaps since its inception, NetSol has been able to leverage its unsurpassed reputation for quality, its strong relationship with SAP technology, and its expanding worldwide connections to survive and grow. It’s this very unusual mix of strengths that make NetSol such an important investment consideration.
NetSol is a global provider of financial and other enterprise software solutions and business services to a variety of industries, including financial, healthcare, insurance, energy, and technology markets. It is one of only about 100 companies in the world to achieve ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and SEI (Software Engineering Institute) CMMI (Capability Maturity Model) Maturity Level 5 assessments. In other words, it has a major certification of quality and trust every time it walks in the door. In an industry that is all too often known for its history of customer complaints, this is a critical and hard-won badge, especially in global environments that base relationships on personal integrity and reputation.
NetSol’s signing of a combined $3 million Asia-Pacific agreement comes on the heels of an agreement with a Chinese finance company partnered with a major European bank and a multi-billion dollar Chinese financial services group. NetSol’s global perspective, including growing contacts in Asia and the Middle East, has allowed it to weather regional storms, taking advantage of stronger world opportunities. It has also worked to develop a number of strategic global alliances, such as the recent Atheeb NetSol venture with the Atheeb Group of Saudi Arabia. It’s a fundamental strategy that allows the company to better penetrate new geographical markets and industries, and to grow technologically.
As parts of the world economy start to improve, NetSol’s well planned and long cultivated mix of attributes, the same qualities that have kept it going while so many others have been buried by the recession, should allow it to flourish.
All of this is backed up by the most recent financial results, covering the company’s third quarter ended March 31, 2010. Quarterly revenues were reported as $8.9 million, up 77.8% from the $5 million reported for the same period last year, headed by a 100% sequential growth in core NetSol Financial Suite (NFS) TM license sales. Total net revenue from license fees was $3.64 million, an increase of 1,022% over the same period last year. Operating income increased to $2.58 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.26 million for the same period last year. EBITA totaled $1.9 million, or $.05 per diluted share, versus an EBITA loss of $3.5 million, or a loss of ($.013) per diluted share for the same period last year. Net income per share totaled $.02, versus a loss ($.19) for the same period a year ago. In addition, revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, were up 33%, to $26.1 million, over the same nine-month period last year.
NetSol Chairman and CEO, Najeeb Ghauri, commented on the impressive numbers. “We are very pleased with our performance in the third fiscal quarter, highlighted by a 78% increase in our sales versus the same period a year ago and a return to quarterly profitability for the first time in six quarters. It is our aim to finish the year completely profitable on the fiscal year analysis. Our financial results continue to deliver material improvements in every major metric of financial health, and we are optimistic about future outlook.”
He concluded, “Our efforts to invest in our core NetSol Financial Suite (NFS)TM throughout the global economic downturn has well positioned the company to leverage the upturn in customer activity that we continue to see, particularly in China and APAC region in general. We enter the end of our fiscal year 2010 with the most positive momentum in the company’s recent history and we see increased interest among our major customers as well as new potential partners in the sector. Additionally, we see excellent opportunities for collaboration and strategic initiatives as we head to the conclusion of the fiscal year 2010.”

NTWK Offers Full Credit Bureau Capabilities with Web-Based Product
NetSol Technologies Inc., a leading global enterprise software company, offers among its many products and services one of the most advanced credit automation systems available anywhere in the world. Its name is Electronic Credit Information Bureau (e-CIB) and it allows any commercial or governmental operation to fully automate the functionalities of a credit bureau. Completely web-based, the system provides the user direct and immediate online access to borrower financial data. It’s an end-to-end solution for credit bureaus, banks, and other commercial and government users.
e-CIB is state-of-the-art, incorporating Oracle and Java, with a secure interface made possible through the use of the latest SSL and VPN networking technologies, and also includes XML based integration. It’s a highly scalable system, able to handle an estimated increase from around 100,000 to 3 million credit information requests per month, and can easily grow with the user.
System capabilities are divided into three major components:
• Data Capture (data collection) – e-CIB greatly reduces the data entry and consolidation burden, decreasing associated errors, and is designed to minimize data upload time for fast operation.
• Back Office (credit profile generation) – The system provides easy and secure data storage and tracking, and can easily deal with large transaction volumes.
• Data Inquiry (customer service) – It can handle many concurrent users, with consistently quick and reliable credit application processing.
The bottom line is that e-CIB is a unique product, allowing users to more efficiently identify and monitor credit risk, and thus helps the user better approach potential customers by providing fast and accurate information regarding their credit rating and debt burden.
It’s a good example of why NetSol is always able to stay ahead of the crowd with leading edge offerings. The fact that the company is also one of only 100 companies around the world to have achieved ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and SEI (Software Engineering Institute) CMMI (Capability Maturity Model) Maturity Level 5 assessments, dramatically backs up e-CIB and all of their other products.

HRH Prince Abdulaziz Bin Ahmed Bin Abdulaziz AlSaud hailed the new joint venture as a unique and amazing strategic opportunity for both companies to realize substantial revenue generation in what is “one of the strongest economies in the world”, projecting the clear vision of creating a “CMMI level 5 model company” and tackling mid- to large-sized IT projects the kingdom and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets.
The Prince confirmed the fully operational status of the new joint venture for meeting outsourced IT services/software development regionally, and expressed excitement about the potential of this partnership for seizing a dominant market footprint.
Mr. Najeeb U. Ghauri thanked the Prince on behalf of the global NTWK team of professionals and expressed how honored the Company is to have the opportunity to partner with a premier Middle Eastern diversified conglomerate like Atheeb, and how reassuring it is to have the Prince’s dynamic and visionary leadership to oversee infrastructural expansion into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the most capitalized and opportunity-rich markets in the world.

NTWK Stands Above The Crowd
There was a day when all a business needed to do in order to enter the computer age was buy an IBM computer and a hire a local programmer to grind out a handful of simple custom programs. Once the accounting and inventory clerks were taught how to use it, a business was on its way.
Today, with the exponential growth of IT technology, it has become increasingly unrealistic for individual businesses, both small and large, to develop and manage the countless aspects of a modern IT operation by themselves. There are simply too many variables and too many decisions for most companies to successfully deal with. The resulting worldwide need for IT support, help that is both trusted and competent, has made NetSol Technologies Inc. one of the most successful enterprise IT management services in the world.
Just choosing a support service is challenging enough for most businesses. There is an endless line of IT consulting firms that are quick to claim they can do whatever needs to be done, and for less money than the next guy. Businesses often discover their limitations and shortcomings only after they’ve been hired. That’s why NetSol has taken remarkable steps to demonstrate clearly that it is not part of that crowd. Specifically, they’re one of the only companies in the entire world to carry a Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CMMI Maturity Level 5 rating for process design, along with ISO 9001 and 27001 certifications, offering a level of trust that few can even come close to.
But NetSol offers a lot more than trust. It has a long history of proven competency and front-to-back services, ensuring that there will be no loose ends. In addition, the company is technologically unbiased, able to tap the product and service components that best meet client requirements.
Solutions include:
• Acceptance Testing Services and Management
• Application Lifecycle Management
• Application Support and Maintenance
• Content Management Systems
• Custom Application Development
• Data Warehousing and Disaster Recovery
• Database Administration
• Development Infrastructure and Environment
• Enterprise Asset Management
• Enterprise Security Management
• Information and Records Management
• Managed Hosting
• Network Infrastructure and Design
• Online Libraries
• Portals
• Process Improvement
• Product and Process Quality Assurance
• RAID Services
• Systems Integration
• Telecommunications Infrastructure and Design
• Virtualization
• Web Services
All of this is why NetSol is still strongly in the game, while the economy has taken out so many others.

NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NTWK) – The Changing World Of Business Services
The business services and enterprise software industry is facing more challenges than ever before. Several years of global financial pressure, along with intensifying competition and acquisitions, has changed the industry skyline, leaving once strong and independent companies either gone or gobbled up. Nevertheless, it’s the hope of many that all of the pain now being experienced will ultimately result in more efficient, cost effective, and technologically creative system and service offerings.
The primary reason for the existence of business service and enterprise software companies is the increasing complexity of the environment in which businesses must operate. Gone are the days when all it took to compete was a good product and a collection of dedicated people adding up the monthly results with pencil and paper. Businesses today must deal with a world where an increasing number of variables are related electronically, made possible by a dizzying array of hardware and software options. The complexity, of course, is not limited to office number crunching. It can take the form of sophisticated production and control operations, advanced communication networks, and a seemingly infinite collection of industry-specific systems and equipment.
The expertise required to sort through and implement all of the possibilities has become almost impossible for all but the biggest companies to consider handling in-house. Nearly everyone else has begun turning to outside services with the technical knowledge and connections to analyze the requirements and put together a workable answer, sometimes continuing with the implementation and management of the solution. This growing need has transformed the business services industry into a leviathan, generating hundreds of billions of dollars annually.
But the global recession, together with dramatic new technologies and approaches such as cloud computing, have challenged all but the strongest. Below are just a few of the large and small business services and enterprise software companies that continue to hold their own in an increasingly competitive environment.
• IBM (NYSE: IBM) – The granddaddy of business computing, IBM services virtually every industry and government application worldwide, and continues to drive new technologies.
• SAP (NYSE: SAP) – Considered the world’s leading provider of business software. With customers in more than 120 countries, SAP is known for enterprise resource planning and related applications such as supply chain management, customer relationship management, product life-cycle management, and supplier relationship management.
• Tata Consultancy Services (BOM: TCS) – Operating in the U.S, Europe, and India, the principal activity of TCS is providing information technology and business process outsourcing services, for such industries as banking and financial services, insurance, manufacturing, telecommunications, retail and transportation.
• Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) – Industry leader Oracle provides what it considers to be the most complete, open, and integrated business software and hardware systems in the world.
• Wipro Technologies (NYSE: WIT) – Wipro Technologies is a global IT services company that provides Consulting, Business Process Outsourcing, Business Technology Services, Enterprise Application Services, Infrastructure Management, Testing, Product Engineering, Engineering Design and Product Support, with services spread across a range of strategic domains.
• Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) – Offering the world’s leading open source application platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Red Hat also offers consulting to help businesses migrating to its unique platform.
• QAD Inc. (NASDAQ: QADI) – An international manufacturing software company, QAD focuses on supply chain collaboration.
• RightNow Technologies (NASDAQ: RNOW) – RightNow offers cloud-based customer sales, service, and analytics, part of the growing trend toward cloud computing.
An obvious strength for any company attempting to present itself as an overall business solution provider is its ability to represent and work with a wide range of technologies and industries. One of the best examples of this is NetSol Technologies (NASDAQ: NTWK). Based outside of Los Angeles, NetSol has become a global leader in innovative customized systems management solutions for manufacturing, equipment distribution and usage in the field, as well as financing and retailing. Their suite of products and services include credit and finance portfolio management systems, hospital/healthcare information management systems (HIMS), SAP consulting and services, custom development, systems integration, and technical services. In short, they’ve grown by being able to tap a range of technologies and expertise. And today, that’s what business services is all about.
A push at EOD to bring back NetSol over .90. Good volume, too, not just a few hundred dollars, so those who bought under .90 may have had a bargain.

No, I've not followed this very long.
I think it's through QS posts that I got acquainted with NetSol.
I have not seen much of any discussion on this board and other boards are also relatively quiet.
NTWK does look as if it could break out. At least, the retracing did not go back to the .80's either.
I have some but not that much, more from lack of enough funds...
GLTY too, (I do not think we'll need much luck here!)
g.p.
I agree with your view on this stock and chart wise this looks to be ready to break out. I have also been loading up a nice position. Wondering if you have followed NTWK long and is there ever any discussion on this board? GLTY, sagedono

NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NTWK) Goes Public
As a worldwide provider of global business services and enterprise application solutions, one of the strengths of NetSol Technologies Inc. is that it has been successful in servicing a remarkably wide range of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, energy and utilities, health and life sciences, and even real estate. Less known is that the company also serves a broad spectrum of public sector agencies:
• School districts, colleges, and universities
• Libraries, museums, and zoos
• Nonprofits and NGOs
• Transit, transportation, ports, and airports
• Infrastructure, public utilities, and public works
• Law enforcement and fire departments
• Clinics, hospitals, and health services
• Elected offices, administrative services, and other agencies
Although public agencies require a number of special considerations, NetSol still regards its top-down commitment to the highest ethical principles and quality standards as the key to this market. They’re one of the few companies in the world to carry a Software Engineering Institute (SEI) CMMI Maturity Level 5 rating for process design and ISO 9001 and 27001 certifications.
NetSol, by employing a global network of senior project managers and technical professionals to complete the necessary design, development, implementation, and support, has penetrated just about every aspect of public sector operations:
• Enterprise Resource Planning
• Human Resource Management
• Information and Records Management
• Data Access and Change Control
• Enterprise Security Management
• Product Lifecycle Management
• Supplier Relationship Management
• Supply Chain Management
• Scanning and Tracking Support Software
• Customer Relationship Management
• Financial Management
• Enterprise Asset Management
• Applications Management
• Process and Product Quality Assurance
• Process Improvement
• Risk Analysis
• Business Intelligence
• Portals
• Online Libraries
• Web-Based Learning
In addition, the company maintains a strict adherence to applicable public sector regulations, such as Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Taken together, these attributes have made NetSol one of the strongest competitors in the public sector.
Been building a position in the last week, 7700 shares so far and I'm still hungry. Forward guidance looks outstanding, looks like this will be much higher in 2010.Luck to all who found NTWK, a gem in the rough IMO. sagedono
Of course, QS, sorry I kind of forgot.
Actually, that PR is part of the reason I'm in and
probably will accumulate a little too.
Good revenues, higher than expected and positive return,
what else would one need?
