NetSol Technologies Ranked Number 19 in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for Los Angeles
The Company Attributes Record Demand for LeasePak, LeaseSoft and IT Services to Its 422% Revenue Growth
NetSol Technologies, Inc. ("NetSol") (NASDAQ: NTWKstock forums), a multinational provider of IT services and enterprise solutions,
has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Los
Angeles, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media,
telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte &
Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services
organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over
five years from 2002 to 2006.
NetSol's chairman and CEO Najeeb Ghauri attributes the Company's aggressive
global strategy with the Company's 422 percent revenue growth from 2002 to
2006. Mr. Ghauri commented on the occasion, stating, "We are delighted to
be named in Deloitte's Fast 50 list as being one of the region's fastest
growing companies. We have recently experienced record revenue and
exceptional growth, fueled by demand for our LeaseSoft and LeasePak
solutions, which experienced a 137 percent jump in license revenue
year-over-year in fiscal 2007."
NetSol Technologies' increase in revenues of 422 percent from 2002 to 2006
resulted in ranking 19th in the Technology Fast 50 for Los Angeles.
Tony Buzzelli, Vice Chairman and Regional Managing Partner, Deloitte &
Touche LLP, stated, "Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an
exceptional accomplishment. We commend NetSol Technologies for making the
commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity.
We are proud to welcome NetSol Technologies to Deloitte's Technology Fast
50."

technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a
significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a
