In these years peak price to sales ratio was in December 2003 4.24. The price to sales ratio (PS ratio) is calculated by dividing stock price by the revenue per share. It is most useful for comparing companies within a sector or industry because "normal" values for this ratio vary from industry to industry. In general, low price to sales ratios are more appealing because they suggest that a company is undervalued.

The price to earnings ratio (PE Ratio) is the measure of the share price relative to the annual net income earned by the firm per share. PE ratio shows current investor demand for a company share. A high PE ratio generally indicates increased demand because investors anticipate earnings growth in the future. The PE ratio has units of years, which can be interpreted as the number of years of earnings to pay back purchase price.

Cash on hand is cash or cash equivalents that a company possesses at any given time. Examples of cash equivalents are: money market accounts, treasury bills, and short term government bonds. Cash and cash equivalents are a business' most liquid assets. Cash on hand results from a positive cash flow statement. Investors look at cash on hand as a reflection of a company's solvency and liquidity.
4. Profit Margin
Profit margin ratio was 14.17% June 2010 and was 6.59% in March 2010. Profit margin represents the percentage of revenue that a company keeps as profit after accounting for fixed and variable costs. It is calculated by dividing net income by revenue. The profit margin is mainly used for internal comparisons, because acceptable profit margins vary between industries. In general, narrow profit margins indicate increased volatility. For companies with significant fixed costs, wide profit margins reduce the risk that a decline in sales will cause a net profit loss. For example, if a company has a profit margin of 43%, the company keeps $.43 of each dollar of revenue.

In June and September 2010 its EPS was .04 Dollars and it was .02 Dollars in March 2010. Earnings per share (EPS) the amount of income that "belongs" to each share of common stock. An important tool for investors, EPS is often used in determining the value of a stock. The average number of shares outstanding (the denominator of the EPS formula) is usually calculated by averaging the number of shares at the beginning of the earning period and the number of shares at the end of the period. For example, if a company earned $1 million in 2009 and had 900,000 shares at the beginning of 2009 and 1.1 million shares at the end of 2009, the 2009 EPS would be $1 million/[(.9 million shares + 1.1 million shares)/2] = $1/share.

Market CAP in 27/12/2010 was 78.81 Million. In September 2010 it was 64.74 Million, 26.48 Million in June 2010 and in March 2010 it was 30.89 Million. It is now its peak as compare to its previous ten years. Market Capitalization (Market Cap) is a measurement of business value based on share price and number of shares outstanding. It generally represents the market's view of a company's stock value and is a determining factor in stock valuation. For example, if a company has 1.5 million shares outstanding at a share price of $25, its market cap is $37.5 million (1.5 million x $25). Companies can be categorized based upon the size of their market capitalization. There are five basic groups: mega-cap (market cap over $200B), large-cap ($10B $200B), mid-cap ($2B$10B), small-cap ($300M$2B), and micro-cap ($50M-$300M). Market cap is not always an accurate indication of value because it does not account for debt and other factors.
7. Revenue
Its revenue on June 2010 was 10.71 Million and it was 8.93 Million in March. And now it is on its peak as compare to its previous ten years. Income that a company gains from business activities, calculated before any expenses are subtracted. Includes all sales and other increases in owner's equity.

Gross profit margin is the difference between sales and the cost of goods sold divided by revenue. It expresses the relationship between gross profit (sales - cost of goods sold) and sales revenue. More specifically, gross profit margin represents the percentage of each dollar of a company's revenue that is available to cover fixed costs after paying for the goods or services that were sold. If a company produces widgets and earns $32 million in sales but pays $24 million for the items sold, then the company's gross profit margin would be ($32m $24m)/$32m = %25.
9. EPS Growth
On September 2010 its EPS Growth was 500% on June 2010 it was 233.33% and on March 2010 it was 110.53%.

EPS growth (earnings per share growth) illustrates the growth of earnings per share over time. EPS growth rates help investors identify stocks that are increasing or decreasing in profitability. If a company has an EPS of $5.00 in 2008 and EPS of $6.00 in 2009, the company has an EPS growth rate of $6.00/$5.00 - 1 = 20% during fiscal year 2009.
10.
On June 2010 it was .58, on March 2010 it was .73 and it was on its peak on March 2004 2.92. The price to book value is a financial ratio used to compare a company's book value to its current market price. Book value is an accounting term denoting the portion of the company held by the shareholders at accounting value (not market value). In other words, book value is the company's total tangible assets less its total liabilities. In theory, if you purchased stock with a price to book value less than 1 and the company immediately went bankrupt, you would gain money on your investment. In reality, this may not be true since there are times when liquidation value, or the price at which a company's assets can be sold, is less than the book value of those assets.
11.
Current Ratio
18
On June 2010 its Current Ratio was 1.65 and on March 2010 it was 1.64. On march 2008 it was on its peak 3.06. The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term debts and other current liabilities (financial obligations lasting less than one year) by comparing current assets to current liabilities. Current assets are cash and any assets expected to be converted into cash within the next year. The ratio illustrates a company's ability to remain solvent. A current ratio of 1 means that book value of current assets is exactly the same as book value of current liabilities.
12.

INVESTMENT CONCLUSION
We believe that NTWK merits a Strong Buy recommendation. Not only is it grossly undervalued according to most metrics, but there are a variety of plausible scenarios that would result in the Company surpassing expectations by an enormous margin. Especially compelling evidence of the Companys value was provided on May 14 when the Ghauris collectively purchased 1,034,383 shares of NTWK stock for 87 cents each through a private transaction, Najeeb buying 375,000, Salim 350,000, and Naeem 309,383. Not only is this a solid showing of confidence in the Company being exhibited by those who know it best, but it is also confirmation of the alignment between management and shareholder interests.
