The audited financial statements for our company for the fiscal years June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus are reliant on the reports of Kabani & Company, Inc., independent certified public accountants, as stated in their reports therein, upon the authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Patti L. W. McGlasson, Esq., General Counsel for our Company, has passed on the validity of the securities being offered hereby.

Kabani & Company, Inc. was not hired on a contingent basis, nor will it receive a direct or indirect interest in the business of the issuer. Neither Kabani & Company, Inc. nor its principals are, or will be, a promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee of NetSol. Patti L. W. McGlasson is an officer and employee of NetSol. She has received, as part of her compensation with NetSol, options to purchase and grants of shares of common stock. As of September 23, 2014, Ms. McGlasson is the holder of 39,550 shares of common stock of NetSol and options to purchase 1,000 shares at the exercise price of $16.50 per share which expire on July 7, 2015; and, 1,000 options to purchase shares of common stock at the exercise price of $16.00 which expire on July 23, 2017.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We are required by our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person that we are permitted to indemnify. Our Bylaws it to indemnify such parties to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

Nevada corporation law permits us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees, or agents against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred in relation to any action, suit, or proceeding brought by third parties because they are or were directors, officers, employees, or agents of the corporation. In order to be eligible for such indemnification, however, our directors, officers, employees, or agents must have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In addition, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer, director, employee, or agent must have had no reason to believe that the conduct in question was unlawful.

In derivative actions, we may only indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a suit, and only if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. Indemnification is not permitted in the event that the director, officer, employee, or agent is actually adjudged liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the action was brought so determines.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our controlling directors, officers, or persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
