QPR SOFTWARE PLC   STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE   5 APRIL 2013 at 3.00 PM

QPR SOFTWARE´S PRELIMINARY Q1 RESULTS ESTIMATE AND OUTLOOK FOR 2013

QPR Software estimates its first quarter net sales to be close to EUR 2.1
million (January-March 2012: EUR 2.2 million). New software sales by QPR are
increasingly made through software rentals rather than perpetual license sales,
which in January-March was resulted in clear and stronger than expected decline
in software license net sales. Software rental net sales continued to show
strong growth in January-March, but this growth did not fully compensate the
decrease in license net sales. According to our preliminary estimate, operating
profit in January-March is expected to be slightly negative (January-March
2012: EUR +0.2 million). 

Outlook 2013 (revised)

QPR estimates its net sales in 2013 to remain on the same level or to grow
slightly compared to previous year (2012: EUR 9.3 million). Especially net
sales from software rentals and enterprise architecture services are expected
to grow, but license net sales to decrease. Operating profit is likely to be
smaller than in previous year (2012: EUR 0.9 million), but to improve
significantly from the level in January-March 2013. 

QPR Software will publish its 2013 first quarter interim report on 25 April,
2013.
