The conditions of all authorizations of the Board are available in their entirety on the investors section of the company's web site, and on the stock exchange release, published by the company on March 12, 2009. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE QPR Software Plc complies with the NASADAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd's Guidelines for Insiders issued on June 2, 2008 and the Corporate Governance Code, including its transitional provisions, effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company's Corporate Governance Statement is available in the Investor section of the Company's website, www.qpr.com. Also, available in the investor section is further information, such as, administration of insiders register, public insiders register, list of major shareholders, articles of association, charter of the Board, description of how internal control and internal audit is organized, introductions of the members of the Board and Executive Management Team, and the information published by the company in the review period. 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 to regulations and operational principles, reaches its strategic goals and ensures continuity of its business. It is the duty of the Board of Directors to monitor the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of risk management and internal control in QPR Software Group. The Board of Directors also monitors that the Company has defined operational principles for internal control and that the Company monitors the effectiveness of internal control. Property, operational and liability risks are covered by insurance. Reasonable credit risk concerning individual business partners 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 management of QPR estimates that the company´s credit loss risk is on customary and reasonable level. External business environment changes, such as economic fluctuations, are included in the Company´s market and customer risks. General decline in business activity has been exceptionally abrupt since autumn 2008, and this has created economic unrest in all markets. The general economic uncertainty, continuation of negative development or deepening of such a development may have a negative impact on software market and thus, also to QPR´s business operations. QPR´s market and customer risks are mitigated by the following factors: the Company conducts business in over 50 countries, both in public and private sector as well as in several different business verticals. In addition, the customer benefits produced by QPR´s products and solutions are related to optimization and streamlining of operations, strategy implementation as well as risk management and compliance. QPR believes, based on its earlier experiences from cyclical fluctuations that demand for these customer benefits remains relatively strong even in recession. No significant changes have taken place in QPR's short-term risks and uncertainties during the financial period. Risks related to QPR Software´s business are further described in the Annual Report 2008, page 23 (www.qpr.com/annual-reports.html). FUTURE OUTLOOK Market forecasts published in the first half of 2009 estimate that total corporate IT investments will decrease in 2009. The estimated decrease varies, and is usually between 3 and 10%, depending on the publisher of the forecast and its timing. Based on current software market growth forecasts, QPR´s own forecasts and resellers' forecasts, QPR Software estimates that its operating profit in the second half of 2009 will remain on the level achieved in the first half of 2009 (January - June 2009: EUR 0.327 million), but the full year operating profit 2009 is likely to be somewhat lower than in 2008 (EUR 0.893 million). The nature of the software license business of the QPR Group is seasonal. Seasonality of large software deals can affect significantly net sales and profit of one individual quarter. QPR SOFTWARE PLC'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN 2009 In 2009, QPR Software Plc will publish its financial information as follows: Interim Report January - September 2009: Thursday, October 22, 2009.
