Outlook 2012
Based on good first half of the year, QPR Software updates its estimate for
2012. Earlier, the Company estimated its consolidated net sales 2012 to show
significantly faster growth than in the previous year (growth in year 2011:
8.7%). Now the Company estimates its net sales to grow approximately 18 - 24%
in 2012. The Company´s growth businesses, especially enterprise architecture
software and service sales, are showing strong performance. However, the
increased economic uncertainty in the euro area to some extent weakens the
visibility for the remainder of the year.
The Company estimates its operating profit in euros to improve slightly from
the previous year (2011: EUR 755 thousand), despite the increasing outlays in
its growth businesses. Earlier, the Company estimated its operating profit in
euros to remain on the same level as in the previous year, or to improve
slightly.
In 2012, QPR aims to make significant investments in the development of its new
software products QPR ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect, as well as
related services. This will, in the short term, have a negative impact on
profitability. The Company believes that these outlays are well justified,
since these businesses have good growth prospects.
The Company focuses on recruiting new channel partners especially for its QPR
ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect software products and also
increases significantly its personnel resources for service offering
development in 2012. Through service offering development the Company aims to
grow its local business in Finland, and to accelerate its international
software sales by offering complementary service concepts and solutions to its
channel partners.

QPR Software´s net sales in Finland rose 62.0% in April - June. Strong growth
was due to organic growth in QPR´s software and professional services sales and
the consolidation of Nobultec Ltd as of August 2011. Net sales were strong
especially in software aimed at process and enterprise architecture
development, and in related professional services. QPR continued to strengthen
its personnel resources in these businesses during the reporting period.
In January - June, net sales in Finland rose 61.6% compared to the equivalent
period in the previous year. The sources for growth were the same as in April -
June.
International net sales increased in April - June by 9.9% from the previous
year, which was due to good success in international channel net sales. Net
sales developed very well in software aimed at process development.
In January - June, international net sales increased by 3.0%. Growth was
negatively impacted by net sales decrease in QPR´s Russian subsidiary.

April - June
QPR Software's consolidated operating profit in the second quarter grew by
28.5%, due to strong growth in net sales, and was EUR 230 thousand (179).
Operating profit was negatively affected by increased credit losses, amounting
to EUR 119 thousand (21) in April - June. After this, the amount of trade
receivables over 60 days past due is on a low level and was at the end of the
reporting period 9.8% (29.5%) of total trade receivables.
Depreciation and amortization grew to EUR 168 thousand (134), which was mainly
due to the consolidation of Nobultec Ltd and increase in the amortization of
capitalized product development expenses. 39.7% of the Group's depreciation and
amortization arise from corporate and business acquisitions made in 2008 -
2011.
Operating profit in both Business Operations Finland and in Software Sales
International increased year-on-year due to growth in net sales. Group expenses
grew 36.2%, which was mainly due to the consolidation of Nobultec and outlays
into the Company´s growth businesses.
January - June
Group operating profit increased to EUR 429 thousand (336), thanks to strong
profitable growth in Business Operations Finland. Operating profit in Software
Sales International decreased slightly, mainly due to increased credit losses.

Depreciation and amortization grew to EUR 335 thousand (264). Group expenses
increased by 30.0%. Sources for growth in depreciation and amortization and
expenses were the same as in April - June. Personnel resources were added in

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Internal control and risk management in QPR Software Plc aims to ensure that
the Company operates efficiently and effectively, distributes reliable
information, complies with regulations and operational principles, reaches its
strategic goals, and ensures the continuity of its business.
QPR has identified the following four groups of risks related to its
operations: risks related to business operations (country, customer, service
delivery, personnel, legal and financial risks as well as risks related to the
Company´s resellers), risks related to information and products (QPR products,
IPR, data security), risks related to financing (foreign currency, bad debt),
and risks related to new businesses (growth of new business, product
development investments in new business). The Company has an insurance policy
for property, operational and liability risks. The Company monitors country,
customer, personnel and finance risks also in the Russian subsidiary OOO QPR
Software.
QPR has not paid the remaining purchase price of EUR 99 thousand, recognized in
its balance sheet, for the business operations of Trodos Consulting and United
Project and Services Group to their sellers. In QPR´s opinion, the sellers have
not fulfilled the terms set in defining the purchase price. The Company has
previously paid a consideration of EUR 165 thousand to the sellers. QPR and the
sellers have differing opinions on the purchase price and the employment
relationships between the sellers and QPR. QPR seeks to find a solution on the
matter primarily through negotiations, and secondarily through arbitration in
accordance with the Rules for Expedited Arbitration of the Arbitration
Institute of the Central Chamber of Commerce of Finland in Helsinki by a sole
arbitrator, as agreed in the Co-operation Agreement signed by QPR and the
sellers.
Financial risks include reasonable credit risk concerning individual business
partners, which is characteristic to any international business. QPR seeks to
limit this credit risk by continuous monitoring of standard payment terms,
receivables and credit limits. The escalated economic crisis in the euro area
has, according to the Management´s estimate, to some extent increased the
credit risk that has remained on a moderate level in recent years. In the
reporting period, EUR 149 thousand (68) credit losses were recorded. After
this, the amount of trade receivables over 60 days past due is on a low level
and was at the end of the reporting period 9.8% (30 June 2011: 29.5%, 31 Dec
2011: 11.0%) of total trade receivables.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company had not hedged its foreign
currency (non-euro) trade receivables.
No other significant changes have taken place in QPR's short-term risks and
uncertainties during the reporting period. Risks related to the Company's
business are further described in the Annual Report 2011, page 16 onwards
(www.qpr.com/annual-reports.html).
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Recent forecasts published by market research firms estimate that the value of
global software sales will increase approximately 6% and global professional
services sales will increase almost 5% in 2012 compared to 2011.
Based on good first half of the year, QPR Software updates its estimate for
2012. Earlier, the Company estimated its consolidated net sales 2012 to show
significantly faster growth than in the previous year (growth in year 2011:
8.7%). Now the Company estimates its net sales to grow approximately 18 - 24%
in 2012. The Company´s growth businesses, especially enterprise architecture
software and service sales, are showing strong performance. However, the
increased economic uncertainty in the euro area to some extent weakens the
visibility for the remainder of the year.
The Company now estimates its operating profit in euros to improve slightly
from the previous year (2011: EUR 755 thousand), despite the increasing outlays
in its growth businesses. Earlier the Company estimated its operating profit in
euros to remain on the same level as in the previous year, or to improve
slightly. The timing of large software deals can significantly affect net sales
and profit for individual quarters.
In 2012, QPR aims to make significant investments in the development of its new
software products QPR ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect, as well as
related services. This will, in the short term, have a negative impact on
profitability. The Company believes that these outlays are well justified,
since these businesses have good growth prospects.
The Company focuses on recruiting new channel partners especially for its QPR
ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect software products and also
increases significantly its personnel resources for service offering
development in 2012. Through service offering development the Company aims to
grow its local business in Finland, and to accelerate its international
software sales by offering complementary service concepts and solutions to its
channel partners.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING PRICIPLES
This interim report complies with requirements of IAS 34 ”Interim Financial
Reporting”. Starting from the beginning of the reporting period, the Group has
applied certain new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as
described in the Consolidated Financial Statements 2011. The implementation of
these new and revised requirements have not materially impacted the reported
figures. For all other parts, the accounting and valuation principles are the
same as they were in the 2011 financial statements.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions regarding the future and to consider the
appropriate application of accounting principles, which means that actual
results may differ from those estimated.
All amounts presented in this interim report are consolidated figures, unless
otherwise noted.
The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of individual
figures may differ from the sum reported. This interim report is unaudited.
