In accordance with Basware's risk management policy, risks are divided into six categories: risks related to business operations, products, personnel as well as legal, financial and data security risks.

Market forecasts updated in March-April 2010 expect the software purchases to increase by 7.2 percent globally and 8.3 percent in US in 2010. The entire IT services market is expected to grow by 5.6 percent globally and by 5.4 percent in US in 2010.
The global economic uncertainty continues, which might decrease companies' investment willingness to invest also in the future. This might have an unfavorable impact on the development of the company's net sales and profitability.
Previously in times of economic uncertainty, the demand for the company's products and services has remained more positive than the general market, as the company's software solutions generate cost savings.
The depression has generally increased companies' delinquency entries and the number of bankruptcies. Typically, companies may also prolong the times of payments in order to free up working capital. Basware has intensified its management of sales receivables, and business management regularly monitors the payment of sales receivables as part of the management of customer accounts.
The Group's main currency is Euro, accounting for approximately 61 percent of net sales in 2009 (approximately 67% in 2008). The significance of exchange rate fluctuations between the euro and other currencies will increase hand in hand with the share of international operations. The company did not realize hedging for exchange rate fluctuations during the financial period as the foreign-currency-denominated cash flow in the subsidiaries did not exceed the set annual foreign-currency-specific limit for hedging measures.
Basware's objective is to become the world's leading company in e-invoicing. E-invoicing and the supporting Connectivity also target suppliers and buyers outside Basware's existing customer base, which increases the customer potential. The company's long-term objective is annual growth of more than 50 percent in SaaS, Basware Connectivity and e-invoicing business. SaaS, Basware Connectivity and e-invoicing are scalable business models with a high business potential. The realization of this growth potential requires a new operating model as well as active and continuous development of competencies because of the strong growth of the number of customers and transaction volumes. These include sales and commissioning as well as customer support and product development.
In other respects, no significant changes have taken place in Basware's short-term risks and uncertainties during the financial period.
Basware Board of Directors approved in its meeting on April 13 subscription of total of 130 100 shares subscribed with Basware Warrant Programs. The share subscriptions were based on the Warrant Program 2006 series B warrants (56 400 shares) and Warrant Program 2007 series D warrants (73 700 shares).
Market forecasts updated in March-April 2010 expect the software purchases to increase by 7.2 percent globally and 8.3 percent in US in 2010. The entire IT services market is expected to grow by 5.6 percent globally and by 5.4 percent in US in 2010.
Basware's direct competitors are primarily locally operating and often smaller companies. In North America in particular, the company has also larger competitors, especially in the field of procurement management. Developers of document management, scanning and recycling systems compete with Basware, particularly with regard to purchase invoice management solutions. Competing solutions also include customized solutions integrated into ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
The software still offers a competitive edge, thanks to the integrated offering consisting of new added value products and the products. Automation services, a new concept in the portfolio, will have a positive impact on the competitiveness.
Automation services increase the predictability and transparency of a company's net sales and profitability. In 2009, revenue from continuous services (including maintenance) accounted for more than 40 percent of the company's total revenue. In order to support the sales of invoice automation solutions, Basware will launch a mid-market SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. The solution will be launched during the second quarter in North America and thereafter in select markets.
Basware also aims to become a leading company in e-invoicing worldwide. E-invoicing and supporting Connectivity Services are targeted to connect suppliers and buyers also outside of Basware's existing software customer base, leading into a higher potential.
The company's long-term target is to grow annually more than 50% in Automation Services. SaaS, Connectivity Services and e-invoicing are scalable models and offer an increasing profit potential in the long run. A growth investment program of Basware Automation Services (SaaS, Connectivity and e-invoicing) has been launched at the beginning of 2010, and it is expected to promote the positive development of operations and order backlog.
The Company's international growth is based on efforts of its own sales and marketing activity as well as the reseller channel. Development of the indirect distribution channel continues in Europe, Russia and Asia. In North America, the focus will be on developing the Company's own sales channel. In Scandinavia, the focus is on profitability, and moderate growth is supported by the Company's expanded product portfolio and the development
Basware has complemented its organic growth with acquisitions. The Company will continue to review possible acquisition targets during 2010. In particular, possible acquisitions will aim at supporting Automation Services and expanding the Company's distribution channel in international markets.
The Group's number of personnel will increase the most in Automation Services and product development during the year. The number of personnel will increase the most in India, which facilitates growth with a more moderate increase in costs.
Additional growth related investments will be made moderately during the year, provided that the operating profit and net sales develop as expected.
Basware expects its net sales for 2010 to develop positively on the level of 2009. Operating profit (EBIT) for 2010 is expected to be from 10 to 15 percent of net sales.
