CALABASAS, Calif., July 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetSol
Technologies, Inc. ("NetSol" or "Company") (Nasdaq:NTWK) (Nasdaq
Dubai:NTWK), a U.S. corporation providing global business services and
enterprise application solutions to private and public sector
organizations worldwide, today announced that it has received a
proposal to transfer ownership of its two wholly owned subsidiaries,
NetSol Technologies Europe ("NTE") and NetSol Technologies North
America, Inc. ("NTNA"), to NetSol Technologies Ltd. ("NTPK"), the
Company's majority-owned subsidiary in Pakistan.

NTPK is proposing to purchase the two subsidiaries from its parent
company at a premium to book value in an all-stock transaction. If
approved, the internal sale of both NTE and NTNA would increase
NetSol's ownership stake in NTPK from 58% to 76%. NetSol currently owns
58% of NTPK and 100% of both NTE and NTNA. The total estimated value of
both NTE and NTNA by an independent appraisal firm is approximately $20
million.

Upon completion of the transaction, the subsidiaries will continue to
operate in their present locations, but the reporting of NetSol's three
subsidiaries would be consolidated under one entity, NTPK. Presently,
each subsidiary operates under NetSol, but while the revenue of NTPK is
reported and disclosed as part of NetSol's gross revenues, the bottom
line profitability of NetSol is reduced by the minority interest
ownership in NTPK. As proposed, the transaction will increase NetSol's
ownership in NTPK, thereby reducing its minority interest. Because the
increase in ownership would allow NetSol to recognize a greater portion
of NTPK's revenues and earnings as its own, the Company would expect a
net accretive effect on its earnings per share.

Najeeb Ghauri, Chairman and CEO of NetSol, stated: "If approved by the
NetSol board, the agreement is a win-win situation for our employees,
shareholders and customers worldwide. We expect this transaction to
strengthen the symbiotic relationship between our subsidiaries,
resulting in increased operating efficiency. Furthermore, we expect
NetSol Pakistan's higher margins to result in improved profitability
for the Company. We anticipate that this internal transaction will
improve our bottom line and ultimately enhance value for our
shareholders."

If approved by the board of NetSol Technologies, Inc., the transaction
is expected to take up to six months to complete, pending approval from
the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, NTPK shareholders,
and other relevant regional authorities.
