six months ago and a profit of just £320,000 in
Q2.

Speaking exclusively to Leasing Life,
Najeeb Ghauri, NetSol chairman and chief
executive, said:
“We have bounced back because of new orders
and license sales to asset-based leasing and financial companies
using our NetSol Financial Suite, many of them captives of auto
manufacturers. Business is improving in the auto and banking
sectors and our pipeline is very strong.
“In the fiscal third quarter NetSol saw
strength across each business line and in all geographic
regions.
“We believe that the business has regained its
footing and that our growth initiatives are building momentum.
“Given the relative strength of the third
quarter and our current insights into the balance of the year, we
are increasingly confident the company will deliver a much stronger
second half than first-half 2012.”
NetSol currently expects revenue growth of 30% to 40% for the
second half of the fiscal year compared with the first half of the
year. The company also said that it expects to report profit for
the full 2012 fiscal year.
