During the year ended June 30, 2011, NETW investment banking fees for the year were $293,799 a decrease of $950,984 or 76.4%, and its investment advisory consulting fees for the year ending June 30, 2011 were $411,775 a decrease of $237,684 or 36.6% versus the fiscal year ending June, 30 2010. In the same period, we had commission income and trading profits of $1,269,563 or an increase of $320,576 or 33.8% over the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The decrease in investment banking fees was attributable to fewer large private placements and the decrease in advisory consulting fees was due to lower fees paid by companies seeking our services. The increase in commissions earned in NETW’s daily transaction business was due primarily to adding more retail registered representatives which resulted in an increase in activity from NETW’s retail clients. The increase in trading profits was due to increased market volatility. Overall, NETW experienced an increase in losses in the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year.
