Venture Finance Implements NetSol's LeaseSoft Suite to Manage New Block Discounting Portfolio

CALABASAS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/21/08 -- NetSol Technologies Inc. ("NetSol") (NASDAQ: NTWK), a worldwide Solutions provider of global business services and enterprise software, today announced the successful implementation of its LeaseSoft solution for the portfolio management of Venture Finance's new block discounting division through NetSol Technologies Europe (NTE), the Company's UK division.

Venture Finance, an award-winning invoice finance and asset based lender for small and medium enterprises (SME) to multi-national corporations in the UK, required a flexible software solution to manage its recently launched block discounting division in the areas of credit application processing, contract management, receivables management, accounting and management reporting. Venture Finance required a tried and tested credit facility system from an IT services partner that understands the complex block discounting market. This was seen as crucial to allow for a fast and efficient start to the division's new business line.

The flexibility of the LeaseSoft solution allows Venture Finance to configure their requirements without the need for software customisation. This allows for a rapid implementation timetable and a significant reduction in the project risks normally associated with business critical software projects.

Richard Miller, Project Manager at Venture Finance, commented, "In LeaseSoft we saw a solution that could support our core business and future growth aspirations." Mr. Miller further added, "We value NetSol Technologies as an experienced software partner and their industry knowledge of the block discounting domain adds much value to our business."

"It is very rewarding to see Venture Finance invest in LeaseSoft for their new block discounting division. Many organizations look for a short-term solution and then have to undergo the disruption of system migration projects later. With LeaseSoft, Venture Finance has invested in a robust solution that will grow and expand with their business for 'life,'" stated Graham Tarrant, Product Director of NetSol Technologies Europe.

NetSol Technologies' LeaseSoft solutions are a premium suite of software modules that improve business processes by providing rapid and convenient solutions, capable of dealing with multi-asset, multi-currency and multi-lingual environments. LeaseSoft solutions are available for customers in motor finance, asset finance, consumer finance, real estate finance and loan finance.
