Thank you, Patti, and good morning, everyone. Today I'm calling in from NETSOL's campus, [indiscernible] campus in Lahore, Pakistan. I'm very pleased to state that the operations have returned to normalcy in the current post pandemic era, including the broader return to work and increased opportunities to meet face-to-face with current and prospective clients. Undoubtedly during the past two and half fiscal years, from the later half of 2020 through fiscal 2022, NETSOL faced the same micro and macroeconomic challenges as the rest of the world. NETSOL was not immune to the adverse impact of this game changing experience without global employees, our customers and our shareholders. Happily, we are seeing a sea change as business moves back to normal. Following the removal of localized restrictions, we were able to implement a back office working environment in every global location, including our technology delivery center in Lahore, Pakistan. The return to the office has been positively received by our global employees. While we choose to emphasize our pleasure, that this return to normalcy we should note that our ability and capability to support our deliveries to our customers was never impacted by remote work. The return to normalcy has allowed key sales and delivery teams to travel to North America, Europe and the majority of the Asia Pacific region. This travel has enabled our teams to connect with current and potential customers, increasing the ability to meaningfully compete for new global opportunities. While most of the Asia Pacific has resumed full opening, China continues to enforce stringent quarantine rules. The Chinese requiring that all visitors quarantined for at least seven days that impacted our ability to meet face-to-face, the field level executives and key decision makers of potential new and existing Chinese customers. Nonetheless, our local Chinese team has continued to build new relationships and remain connected with customers in our largest revenue market. While our global sales delivery and senior executive teams continued to use alternate leading tools to engage virtually. This is all to achieve best outcomes. Analyzing revenue growth. We are seeing a modest, modestly steady growth in the first few months of the new fiscal year, while the last half of fiscal year 2022 fell short of our expectation full year revenue growth. This was due to delays in expected new revenue in the second half of fiscal year 2022 that was pushed back to this current fiscal year 2023. However, a big positive is that annual recurring revenue our ARR increased to almost 28% from a 20% expectation, while our top-line grew by 4.2%. One of the key dynamics facing businesses worldwide, because they run out of overall operating expenses during and following the strictest time of the pandemic era. High inflation is not only the U.S. but globally has increased costs and everything from salaries, travel, utilities, and general operating expenses. Our salaries and G&A increased mostly due to the hiring of over 330 employees in Pakistan, China, U.K. and U.S. and the impact of course of living increases from most employees, except senior management. Generally speaking, hiring worldwide is to position NETSOL for aggressive growth in North America, China and Europe. Additional resources were required to support new verticals, investing in our new AWS professional services, and bidding for high value contract for our flagship Ascent offering in the U.S. and Canada. All supporting the growth, we see in the leasing and finance sector, mobility and other new areas just mentioned. I'll now turn the call over to Roger Almond for an overview of the financials. Roger?

Thanks, Najeeb. Turning to our fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results for the period ended June 30. Our total net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 were 13.5 million, compared to 15.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in total net revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in total license fees of 587,000, a decrease in services of 1.8 million offset by an increase in subscription and support revenue of 523,000. For all of fiscal 2022, total net revenues were 57.3 million, compared to 54.9 million in fiscal 2021. The increase in total net revenues was primarily due to an increase in subscription and support revenues at 6.1 million offset by a decrease in license revenues of 1.7 million and a decrease in services revenue of 2.1 million. Total license fees in Q4 were 952,000 compared to 1.5 million in the prior year period. For the full year total license fees were 4.5 million compared to 6.2 million in fiscal 2021. The decrease in license fees for both the quarter and year was primarily due to the decrease in revenue being recognized from contracts to implement our NFS Ascent retail platform. Total subscription and support revenues in Q4 were 6.1 million, compared to 5.6 million in the prior year period. For the year, total subscription and support revenues were 28.3 million compared to 22.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase in total subscription and support revenues for the year was primarily due to the recording of approximately 3.5 million as a one-time cumulative catch up due to an amendment to our 10-year contract with Daimler Financial Services, and other customers going live with our product. Moving forward, we anticipate subscription and support revenue to gradually increase as we implement both our NFS Legacy Product and NFS Ascent. Total services revenue for the quarter were 6.5 million, compared to 8.2 million in the prior year period. For the full year total services revenue were 24.4 million compared to 26.4 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in services revenue for the quarter and the year was a result of reduced implementation services for DFS and BMW as they go live with our product. Services revenue is derived from services provided to both current customers as well as services provided to new customers as part of the implementation process. Total cost of revenues was 8.7 million for the fourth quarter and increase of 863,000 from 7.9 million in the fourth quarter 2021. For fiscal year 2022, cost of revenues was 33.5 million an increase from 28.6 million in fiscal 2021. The increase in cost of sales for the quarter were primarily due to increases in salaries and consultant fees at 671,000 and other costs of 256,000. The increase in costs of sales for the year were primarily due to increases in salaries and consultant fees of 3.6 million, travel expenses of 373,000 and other costs of 1.1 million. Gross profit for the fourth quarter fiscal 2022 was 4.8 million or 35.6% in net revenues compared to 7.5 million or 48.8% of net revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Gross profit for fiscal 2022 decreased to 23.7 million or 41.5% of net revenues compared to 26.4 million, or 48% of net revenues in fiscal 2021. The decrease in gross profit for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in net revenues of 1.8 million, an increase in cost of sales of 863,000. The decrease in gross profit for the year was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales of 4.9 million offset by an increase in revenues of 2.3 million. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter remained flat at 6.4 million for Q4 of fiscal year 2022 and 2021. However, it's a percentage of sales increased from 41.4% for Q4 of fiscal year 2021 to 47% for the current quarter. Operating expenses for fiscal 2022 increased to 24.8 million or 43.4% in net revenues from 23.6 million or 43% of net revenues in fiscal 2021. The Q4 increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was due to the decrease in revenue in Q4 of 2022 compared to our Q4 of 2021. The increase in operating expenses for the year was primarily due to an increase in selling and marketing expenses of 665,000 and research and development cost of 668,000. Net loss from operations was 1.6 million for the fourth quarter compared to net income from operations of 1.1 million in Q4 last year. Net loss from operations for the full year was 1.1 million compared to net income from operations to 2.7 million for fiscal year 2021. Other income and expenses include significant amounts for both the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. For Q4 2022, we recognized a foreign currency exchange gain of 1.6 million compared to gain of 918,000 for Q4 2021. For the year ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a foreign currency exchange gain of 4.3 million compared to a loss of 597,000 for 2021. The increase in the recognized gain for both the quarter and the year was primarily due to the weakening of the fact [indiscernible] compared to the U.S. dollar and the euro. In Q4 2022, the share of net loss from equity investments was 1.7 million, compared to a loss of 21,000 for Q4 2021. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the share of net loss from equity investment was 2 million compared to a loss of 254,000 for the year ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the quarter and the year is due to the impairment charge of 1.6 million that was recorded for the investments in WRLD3D and Drivemate. Our GAAP loss attributable to NETSOL for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled 2.2 million or $0.19 per diluted share. This compared to GAAP net income of 1.9 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of last year. GAAP net loss attributable to NETSOL for fiscal 2022 totaled 851,000 or $0.08 per diluted share compared to net income of 1.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share for fiscal 2021. The decrease in GAAP net income attributable to NETSOL for both the quarter and year was primarily due to increases in the cost of goods sold. Moving to our non-GAAP metrics, our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled a negative 1.4 million or negative $0.12 per diluted share compared with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of 2.9 million or $0.26 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of last year. For the full fiscal year 2022 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA totaled 1.8 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with 5.4 million or $0.47 per diluted share in fiscal 2021. Please see the reconciliation schedules contained in our earnings release for our revised calculations of adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Turning to our balance sheet, at quarter end, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately 24 million, or approximately $2.13 per diluted common share, which was down from 33.7 million or approximately $2.93 per diluted common share at June 30, 2021. That concludes my prepared remarks. I'll now turn the call back over to the Najeeb. Najeeb?

Thank you, Roger. From a high level, I like to outline the fundamental components of our growth strategy. First, after two years of top-line decline, we grew by 4.2% in fiscal year 2022 as compared with fiscal year 2021. Second, we have continued to focus on organic growth within the core business, subscription and support revenue reached $28.3 million of fiscal 2022 nearly 28% increase over the prior year, due in large part to a one-time catch up of $3.5 million on Daimler contract, with a $24 million plus run rate of recurring subscription and support revenue projected over the coming 12 months. With each new customer, we finally add to our recurring revenue which drives both the top and the bottom-line. As we layer on post contract support through larger traditional enterprise contracts, and increase our SaaS based footprint, we expect to build this base over time, which provides more predictable revenues with a more attractive margin profile. Finally, we have cautiously optimistic about fiscal 2023 revenues as we have several high value new opportunities for our flagship Ascent solution in discussion stages with a few North American based Tier-1 captive finance companies. Let me provide a little more information on our geographic regions. Starting with the U.S. and Canada, we're establishing a few new verticals such as AWS, certified partners, and professional services. These are building new growth area for us, hopefully, resulting in a new revenue flow in the U.S. We have hired a few U.S. and Canada based sales executives to build this segment. We remain optimistic about Ascent in North America after encouraging progress with multiple new major auto captive finance companies. Also our many anywhere adoption have grown to over 24 mini dealerships in the U.S. as of June 30, 2022, plus 76 more adaption since then, a very positive sign of our platform acceptance in the retail site. This has provided a new market opportunity in the auto dealership segment for which we are expecting over a million-dollar new revenue in the U.S. in fiscal 2023. We are committed to and excited about the overall market opportunities in North America and NETSOL scored business offerings. These include Ascent potential upgrades for our legacy product to Ascent as well as new implementation of our legacy product for new customers. To achieve this, we continue to invest in new local talent to broaden our sales and marketing efforts and to build strong business offerings in North American markets. Overall, we remain committed to the U.S., which is the most attractive and busy market for NETSOL with a record strong pipeline. In Europe, we have added a few new clients in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, a major and a very large European retail business, we have completed the discovery phase and are proceeding with the [documentation] [ph] phase of this agreement for multiple countries. Our European team is a very tightly run operation, and we are participating in several new RFPs for our core offerings. The pipeline is healthy and robust and encouraging and includes continued interest in the cloud version of Ascent. In Asia Pacific region, our overall stability has returned to most of our markets such as Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and others. I mentioned earlier, China continues to experience local challenges, both COVID-related and its economy overall. Despite these challenges, we are happy to report our clients appear to continue to be stable and actively engaged with NETSOL. Our newly established hyper localized Chinese team is positioned to unlock new and local Chinese markets and the auto and truck sectors. The hurdle remains the seven-day quarantine period to visitors to China, necessarily restricting face-to-face meeting with senior management of new prospects. However, we are optimistic that the efforts of our President of our Chinese subsidiary Ms. Amanda Lee will lead to better results during this and following fiscal years. China remains our largest revenue region with very satisfied long-term clients, such as Daimler, BMW, Ford, Fiat, Volvo and GAC [indiscernible] to name a few. Our core business and underlying technology assets that drive have not changed. What has changed though our underlying industry dynamics, we're finding new ways to future proof our business and adopting a next generation digital strategy and one of those is by accelerating our transition to the cloud. We continue to note the automotive industry significant push towards digital transformation in the retail space, marked by various announcements of newly formed partnership, major acquisition and ecommerce pilots [indiscernible] racing to meet the consumers evolving expectation for online shopping options, including for traditionally in person big ticket items. In summary, we are welcoming the return to normal thing and have developed a comprehensive strategy globally to target high value customers in key geographies and new formats. After a challenging few years, we are entering fiscal 2023 focused on a return to growth with a plan to get there. And with that, I like to open call for questions operator.
