The Company
Mirage Holdings Inc. through its subsidiaries Network Solutions (Pvt.) Ltd. and Netsol UK provides leasing software solutions and services Internationally for the independent lease and finance subsidiaries of Mercedes Benz (NYSE:DCX) United Kingdom (Several Countries) Australia, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan and Imperial Chem. Inds. Plc. (NYSE:ICI), the chemical giant of Great Britain. MGHI through these subsidiaries has already proven it has what it takes to succeed in this competitive software industry.
In our talks with current CEO Najeeb Ghauri, the company is on target to meeting the ' 99 estimate of $5 mil. in revenues, having currently earned $2.6 mil revenues so far since fiscal year began on 7/1/98. He also stated that with the completed acquisition expected this March for the remaining 49% of Network Solutions and 57% of Netsol, MGHI would meet all Nasdaq listing requirements except for the current share price. NASDAQ requires that a company must trade at $4 or more for 30 days along with the other financial requirements to gain listing on its exchange. Once MGHI is successful in obtaining NASDAQ status it will open the door to major brokerages being allowed to make a market in the stock and recommend it to their clients. T A P believes it is just matter of time that these events transpire based on the performance of MGHI and its management thus far.
Network Solutions is "the first software house in Pakistan to achieve the prestigious certification of ISO 9001. This distinction was awarded by AOQC MOODY International LTD, UK on February 12th, 1999, Mr. David Ember, Regional Manager (Singapore) Asia Pacific AOQC MOODY International LTD personally presented ISO 9001 certificate to Mr. Salem Ghauri, President/CEO of Network Solutions (Pvt.) Ltd. (Netsol) in a prestigious ceremony in Lahore, Pakistan." Netsol also is a Microsoft Certified Solution Provider' MCSP. "Netsol received this certification after a group of Netsol developers and system engineers became MCP/MCSE certified. Now Netsol is a part of a worldwide network of companies delivering high-quality, Microsoft-based solutions (MSFT). The demand for these solutions is growing every day and this will translate into profitability and success for Netsol.
Mr. Salim Ghauri, the CEO of Netsol International was quite jubilant in these certifications as he commented "I am very excited to see that our company is meeting all the quality standards and certifications which are second to none. This further validates the fact that Netsol and its team is ready to face the challenge of development, research, quality assurance and implementation to achieve customer satisfaction. Being awarded both of these certifications, ISO 9001 and MCSP, demonstrates the progress Netsol is making towards its goal of becoming a major player in the global IT industry."

Mirage Prospects
The recent merger of Daimler Benz with Chrysler provides an enormous opportunity for MGHI. The newly formed Daimler-Chrysler Finance Company already has $81 billion in assets, and is expanding. In an article titled "Daimler-Chrysler Unveils Big Plans For Financial-Services Division.", it stated that the Daimler Benz financial services division has now absorbed the Chrysler Financial Corporation.
"With a portfolio of $81 billion, the newly created Daimler-Chrysler Financial Services said it now ranks as the fourth largest financial institution in the world outside of the banking and insurance sectors....."
The article also stated that Daimler-Chrysler's capital services unit would be based in Norwalk, CT. Former Mercedes-Benz Credit Corp President George Bauer will be responsible for Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia/Pacific. This development is a huge opportunity for MGHI, of which, management has already acted upon.
Network Solutions (Pvt.) Ltd. has headquarters and is registered in Pakistan a 100%
Tax-free zoned country for software exporters. This is a major incentive for software developers to increase their exports and grow the information technology offshore software development business. Software products are developed in Pakistan, where labor costs are just 10% of comparable U.S. software engineers. This competitive edge, combined with an experienced sales and service organization in the United Kingdom, has been successfully organized to generate multiple sources of revenue growth.
These include sales of software systems, consulting and project management. The recent recognition for its product lines and its ability to sell into international markets and plans to expand in the U.S. market place leads T A P to the conclusion that MGHI is currently undervalued at current level. T A P is glad to have the opportunity to add Mirage Holdings Inc. to our portfolio of stocks that has already out performed the top Market Funds and Market Indexes with an average return of approximately 593% so far this year.
