UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS 2011

QPR SOFTWARE'S NET SALES ROSE CLOSE TO 9% IN 2011, OPERATING MARGIN 10% OF NET
SALES 

Summary

Year 2011:

  -- Net sales EUR 7,539 thousand (2010: 6,937), growth 8.7%
  -- Operating profit EUR 755 thousand (752), growth 0.4%
  -- Operating profit margin 10.0% (10.8) of consolidated net sales
  -- Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 1,261 thousand (864), growth
     45.9%
  -- Earnings per share EUR 0.04 (0.04)
  -- The Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting that the
     company would pay dividend for the financial year 2011, EUR 0.03 per share.

October - December 2011:

  -- Net sales EUR 2,215 thousand (October - December 2010: 1,920), growth 15.4%
  -- Operating profit EUR 267 thousand (273), decrease 2.2%
  -- Operating profit margin 12.1% (14.2) of consolidated net sales
  -- Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 215 thousand (102), growth
     110.8%
  -- Earnings per share EUR 0.01 (0.02)

Net sales and operating profit showed a positive development towards the end of
the year. Quarterly net sales were highest in the fourth quarter which led
operating margin to reach 12.1%. Despite the growth in net sales, the Company´s
operating profit was on the same level as last year, which was mainly due to
increase in personnel costs and outlays in development of new software product
QPR ProcessAnalyzer. 

Net sales in Finland grew 29.5% in 2011 due to good development in software
sales and professional service business, as well as consolidation of Nobultec
Ltd into QPR Software Group as of 1 August 2011. The growth in operating profit
in Business Operations Finland was also strong. The majority of new software
sales in Finland was subscription sales. This year the revenue to be recognized
for software subscription agreements made in 2011 is significant (approximately
EUR 0.6 million), which forms a solid foundation for net sales growth in
Finland. 

The Group´s international net sales in 2011 decreased 5.9%, which was mainly
due to a decrease in software license sales. This, in turn, was partly
influenced by gradual initiation of subscription based software sales in QPR´s
international sales channel. This has a negative impact on revenue recognition
from the new contracts, but on the other hand will provide a steady increase in
net sales in the future. As a result of lower net sales, operating profit from
international operations decreased, but remained clearly profitable. 

The Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting on 22 March, 2012
that the company would pay a EUR 0.03 per share dividend for the financial year
2011. The dividend shall be paid to a shareholder that has been entered into
the company's shareholders' register on the record date of the dividend payment
on 27 March, 2012. The Board of Directors proposes that the dividend shall be
paid on 3 April, 2012. 

Outlook 2012:

QPR Software estimates the consolidated net sales 2012 to show significantly
faster growth than in the previous year (growth in year 2011: 8.7%) and
operating profit to remain on the same level as in the previous year, or to
improve slightly. The Company expects significant growth especially in software
subscription net sales, SAP consulting, process analysis business and
enterprise architecture services sales. 

In 2012, QPR aims to place significant investments in the development of its
new software product QPR ProcessAnalyzer and related services. This will, in
short term, have a negative impact on profitability. The Company believes that
these outlays are well justified, since the QPR ProcessAnalyzer business,
launched in February 2011, has started well and the leading market analysts are
forecasting strong demand growth for process analysis products and services.
QPR aims at strong international software sales growth and significant market
share in this new category.

NET SALES

QPR Software Group´s net sales in 2011 were EUR 7,539 thousand (6,937) and grew
8.7% compared to the previous year. The growth was mainly attributable to good
performance in professional service net sales and consolidation of Nobultec Ltd

represented 49.1% and international operations 50.9% of net sales. 

The growth in net sales accelerated towards the end of the year. In October -

Net sales in Finland grew 29.5% in 2011 and were EUR 3,703 thousand (2,860).
Organic growth was 16.2%. Net sales growth in Finland was due to good
performance in both software sales and professional service business. The
growth in professional service business was due to service business expansion
to enterprise architecture consulting and process analysis consulting, as well
as due to consolidation of Nobultec Ltd into QPR Software Group. 

The majority of new software sales in Finland was subscription sales. This year
the revenue to be recognized for software subscription agreements made in 2011
is significant (approximately EUR 0.6 million), which forms a solid foundation
for net sales growth in Finland. 

In October - December net sales in Finland grew 40.9%, thanks to consolidation
of Nobultec and strong organic growth. The Finnish Ministry of Finance decided
in November to acquire the public sector enterprise architecture and process
modeling service from QPR Software. Acquisition period is 2011 - 2014. The
decision includes options for increasing the number of users as well as scope
of services and to expand the acquisition to cover also years 2015 and 2016.
The value of the acquisition is at minimum EUR 780,000 in 2011-2014, and
including the both option years at minimum EUR 1,030,000. 

International net sales were EUR 3,836 thousand (4,077). The decrease in net
sales (-5.9%) was due to lower software license sales than in the previous
year. This, in turn, was partly influenced by gradual initiation of
subscription based software sales in QPR´s international sales channel. This
has a negative impact on revenue recognition from the new contracts, but on the
other hand will provide a steady increase in net sales in the future.
Furthermore, the reflections of the increased uncertainty in general economic
situation extended the sales cycles in several markets. 

International net sales showed a positive development towards the end of the
year and quarterly net sales were highest in the fourth quarter. However, net
sales in October - December decreased 3.2% compared to the equivalent period
last year. 

In Finland, the Company delivered software and professional services in the
reporting period, among others, to Carea, Certia, Central Finland Healthcare
District, City of Espoo, City of Helsinki, City of Imatra, CRH Finland, DNA
Oyj, Elisa Corporation, Helsinki University, Kemira Corporation, Kesko
Corporation, Lassila & Tikanoja, Medbit, Metso Paper, The Finnish National
Board of Education, Nordic Investment Bank, Onninen Group, Outotec Corporation,

SOK, SRV, Tekla Corporation, Teollisuuden Voima, Tuko, Terveystalo, Vacon, City
of Varkaus, Vaisala Corporation, Oy Woikoski Ab, the Ministry of Finance and
the Ministry of Education. 

The largest markets outside Finland in the reporting period were Russia, South
Africa, Sweden, Belgium, Japan and Great Britain. The Company delivered
software, among others, to Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company in United Arab
Emirates, Anglo Platinum and Real People in South Africa, The Bosch Group in
Korea, City of Antwerp and Sibelco in Belgium, City of Malmö in Sweden, City of
Moscow, IRKUT, OGUP Pharmacies, TNK-BP and Sibur in Russia, The Ministry of
Health in Lithuania, The Ministry of Justice in Lithuania, Millard Filters in
Spain, Millennium Bank in Romania, United Chemical Company in Kazakhstan,
Vattenfall in Sweden and to Aramark in the United States of America. 

PROFIT DEVELOPMENT

QPR Software's consolidated operating profit in 2011 was EUR 755 thousand
(752). Operating profit in Finland business operations increased due to
increased net sales, but decrease in channel net sales had an adverse impact on
profitability in international operations. 

Despite the growth in net sales, the Company´s operating profit was on the same
level as last year, which was mainly due to increase in personnel costs and
outlays in development of new software product QPR ProcessAnalyzer. Operating
margin reached 10.0% (10.8).  Operating profit includes a contribution of EUR
79 thousand (44) from Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation for
the development of the new QPR ProcessAnalyzer software. Depreciation and
amortization grew slightly to EUR 572 thousand (532). EUR 221 thousand of this
is amortization of acquisition cost of companies or businesses. 

QPR Software's consolidated operating profit October - December was also on
previous year´s level and EUR 267 thousand (273). Costs rose 14.9% from the
previous year. Majority of this increase is due to consolidation of Nobultec
into QPR Software Group and personnel increase in process analysis business.
Depreciation and amortization grew to EUR 151 thousand (101). The figures show
strong growth, but it is mainly attributable to the impact a correction made in
the fourth quarter 2010 has in the comparison figure.

and earnings per share were EUR 0.04 (0.04). 

Profit before taxes in October - December was EUR 243 thousand (307). Net
financial costs were EUR 24 thousand (income 34). Profit after taxes was EUR
161 thousand (241) and earnings per share were EUR 0.01 (0.02). 

FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS

Cash flow from operating activities in the reporting period was EUR 1,261
thousand (864).  Strong growth in software subscription sales in the reporting
period had a positive effect in cash flow from operating activities. 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of reporting period were EUR 1,020
thousand (1,703). 

The Group's investments totaled to EUR 1,478 thousand (350). The largest
investment was acquisition of Nobultec Ltd. The total acquisition cost
(including transaction costs and provisional purchase price, subject to
reaching targets set for financial results in 2011 and 2012) was EUR 979
thousand. The targets set for 2011 were not reached, which lowered the
acquisition cost to EUR 904 thousand. EUR 402 thousand of the total acquisition
cost was allocated into Nobultec´s customer relationships and will be amortized
in 5 years. A goodwill of EUR 512 thousand arising on the acquisition will be
regularly tested. 

Furthermore, investments include payments of a total of EUR 165 thousand  for
business operations bought from QPR´s Russian resellers in November 2009. The
purchase price for these operations was set at EUR 272 thousand, including
transaction costs. The price was set according to the terms agreed in purchase
agreement and the financial results of the acquired operations between 1 March
2010 and 28 February 2011. The price is compensation for business operations
that were transferred into QPR CIS Oy. As part of the purchase price, the

ProcessAnalyzer software product. The software executes automatically visual
process analysis from depository data in business applications. 

Additional resources were allocated into the development of QPR ProcessAnalyzer
software, published in February 2011. In the review period, QPR developed a new
process analysis solution aimed at efficiency increases in SAP systems,
especially in order-to-cash processes. Several large enterprises and public
organizations are users of this solution. In November 2011, the Company
published a cloud-based version of QPR ProcessAnalyzer. The software is based
on technologies that utilize Microsoft´s cloud services. It has been used in
streamlining of order-to-cash processes in SAP systems, in improvement of sales
processes supported by CRM systems and in analysing call center activities. 

In early 2011, QPR introduced a solution for public sector enterprise
architecture, based on Finnish public sector JHS 179 recommendation. Several
project deliveries based on this solution were made in the review period.

shares of its co-operation partner Nobultec Oy. The transaction took place on
August 1, 2011. Nobultec Oy is a service company that specializes in business
process development in SAP system environments. As the transaction took place,
Nobultec became QPR Software Plc's 100% owned subsidiary. QPR has paid the base
consideration, EUR 840 thousand, to the sellers in August and September. The
payments were made in cash and QPR Software Plc´s shares. 

QPR Software's Board of Directors approved in March a new share-based incentive
plan for the Group's executive management team. The plan aims to align the
objectives of shareholders and key employees to increase shareholder value, to
commit key employees to the company and to offer them a competitive reward plan
based on ownership of shares in the company. 

The plan includes three one-year earning periods, which are the calendar years
2011, 2012 and 2013. The company's Board of Directors will decide on the
earning criteria and the targets to be established for them at the beginning of
each earning period. Bonus for the earning period 2011 was  based on QPR
Software's consolidated net sales growth and operating profit targets. The
earnings criteria were not met in 2011 and thus no bonuses for the year will be
paid. 

The integration of QPR´s and Nobultec´s service offering and transition to
process organization in Finland business operations were initiated in December.
The new operating model is planned to be operational in the summer. 

GOVERNANCE

of four (4) ordinary members. The Annual Shareholders' Meeting elected the
following members to the Board of Directors: Aino-Maija Gerdt, Jyrki Kontio,
Vesa-Pekka Leskinen and Asko Piekkola. In its first meeting immediately

exchange release published by the Company on 18 March, 2011 and available on
the investors section of the company's web site, www.qpr.com. 

SHORT-TEM RISK 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 continuity of its business. 

QPR has identified the following three groups of risks related to its
operations: risks related to business operations (country, customer, net sales
forecasting process, personnel, legal, financial and related to  business
acquisitions), risks related to information and products (QPR products, IPR,
data security) and risks related to financing (foreign currency, bad debt).
Property, operational and liability risks are covered by insurance. QPR
monitors country, customer, personnel and finance risks also in the Russian
subsidiary OOO QPR Software. 

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 management of QPR estimates that the
company´s credit loss risk is on a customary and reasonable level. 

At the end of the reporting period, the Company had not hedged its foreign
currency (non-Euro) trade receivables. 

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 2010, page 15 onwards
(www.qpr.com/annual-reports.html). 

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Board of Directors decided on 16 February 2012 to commence preparations for
merging StrongDocs Oy, QPR Software Plc´s subsidiary, into the parent company.
The merger does not have any effect on consolidated results or balance sheet in
2012. 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Market forecasts published in the beginning of 2012 estimate that the value of
global software sales will increase approximately 6% and global professional
services sales will increase approximately 3% in 2012 compared to 2011. 

QPR Software estimates the consolidated net sales in 2012 to show significantly
faster growth than in the previous year (growth in year 2011: 8.7%) and
operating profit in Euro to remain on the same level as in the previous year,
or to improve slightly. The Company estimates that especially software
subscription net sales, SAP consulting net sales, process analysis net sales
and enterprise architecture service net sales to grow significantly from the
previous year. 

In 2012, QPR aims to place significant investments in the development of its
new software product QPR ProcessAnalyzer and related services. This will, in
short term, have a negative impact on profitability. The Company believes that
these outlays are well justified, since the QPR ProcessAnalyzer business,
launched in February 2011, has started well and the leading market analysts are
forecasting strong demand growth for process analysis products and services.
QPR aims at strong international software sales growth and significant market
share in this new category. 

The Company also aims to recruit new channel partners especially for its QPR
ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect software products and to develop
replicable solutions for its present channel partners. 

Seasonality of large software deals can affect significantly net sales and
profit of one individual quarter.

APPENDIX

ACCOUNTING PRICIPLES OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This report complies with accounting and valuation principles of IFRS, but in
preparations not all the requirements of IAS 34-standard have been considered.
The accounting and valuation principles are the same as they were in 2010
financial statements. This report is not audited. 

Upon closing of consolidated financial statements, the Group makes estimates
and assumptions regarding the future and makes considerations on the adoption
of accounting principles, which means that the actual results may differ from
those reported. 

The amounts presented in the income statement and balance sheet are
consolidated figures. 

The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of individual
figures may differ from the sum reported.
