We expect to have that division substantially integrated into the NetSol organization and leveraging our superior offshore capabilities by the end of this fiscal year."

Our pipeline of orders for commercial finance products, particularly in the Chinese market and in Europe, indicate that this trend will continue. Moreover, our pipeline of business in Pakistan is stronger than ever. As a result, we continue to believe we can deliver revenues of approximately $30 million and improved operating profitability for fiscal year 2007."
