Starting from the beginning of 2013, the Company has applied certain new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the Consolidated Financial Statements 2012. 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 2012 financial statements. This report is unaudited. QPR Software's business operations consist of software and consulting services sales. The Company reports income for products and services as follows: software license sales, software maintenance services, software rentals, and consulting services. QPR reports the following business segments: Direct and OEM business (software license and rental sales, maintenance and consulting services sales to direct customers and OEM customers) and Resellers (software license and rental sales, maintenance and consulting services sales through resellers and the Russian subsidiary). REVIEW BY THE CEO ”After fast and profitable growth in 2012, the development of QPR Software's business operations has been twofold during the current year. Our new businesses have continued their fast growth, but we have declining net sales in our traditional reseller business that is offering software for performance management. The decline is especially due to lower software license sales than in the previous year. Higher net sales from software rentals have not fully compensated for the decline in license net sales. Our new businesses are software and consulting businesses based on enterprise architecture, and the process analysis business. The combined organic growth for these businesses has been over 20% during this year, and they have grown to represent approximately half of QPR's net sales. The unsatisfactory development in our traditional business and in the demand for technical consulting has, however, led to a slight 4% decline in QPR's total net sales in January-September. The development of our expenses has been moderate in January-September, despite outlays in our growth businesses, which is why our profitability estimate for 2013 remains unchanged in spite of lower estimate for net sales. To detail our estimate with additional information, we expect the full year operating profit margin to be 5 - 8% of net sales. Based on the rapid growth of our new businesses, we estimate that net sales will return to a growth path already next year. Our target is to reach a 15% annual organic and profitable growth in 2014 - 2016, on the average. The Company's strategy has been updated during this fall, according to which we will concentrate on four strategic targets in 2014 - 2016: -- We will expand the international reseller channel for our new software products (QPR EnterpriseArchitect ja QPR ProcessAnalyzer). The customer benefits from these software and related services correspond well to the essential needs of the European organizations, which is our main market. In the current tight economic situation, these needs include especially the capability to streamline business operations, the flexibility to change structures and to manage operations in accordance with developing strategies. -- In Finland, we will continue to grow our enterprise architecture business, especially by focusing on consulting our customer organizations in their operational development. Our expanding customer base in consulting also creates a solid foundation for increasing the sales of our QPR EnterpriseArchitect software. -- In our software offering, we will concentrate on the operational development needs of our customers. We will further integrate our software offering and increase its scalability. We will deepen and widen our service offering especially in enterprise architecture and process analysis consulting. We aim to differentiate ourselves from our competitors especially through our know-how in metrics, process analysis and SAP. -- In the traditional performance management business, we will focus our efforts on developing replicable solutions based on the strengths of our software products. These solutions are offered to our reseller partners to boost the sales of our software.” Jari Jaakkola CEO NET SALES Net sales in the third quarter were EUR 1,961 thousand (2,011) and decreased 2% from the corresponding period of the previous year. Net sales decreased due to a clear decline in software license sales and maintenance services, which was not fully compensated by the continued strong growth in software rental net sales. Approximately one third of the 11% decline in net sales from software maintenance services was due to strengthening of the euro against main export currencies (U.S. dollar, South African rand, and Japanese yen). Net sales in January-September were EUR 6,377 thousand (6,628) and decreased 4% from the corresponding period of the previous year. Net sales by product group EUR in thousands Jul-Sep Jul-Sep Change Jan-Sep Jan-Sep Change Jan-Dec 2013 2012 , % 2013 2012 , % 2012 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Software 163 247 -34 702 1,241 -43 1,797 licenses Software 748 844 -11 2,280 2,447 -7 3,223 maintenance services Software rentals 431 315 37 1,226 866 42 1,221 Consulting 619 605 2 2,170 2,074 5 3,080 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,961 2,011 -2 6,377 6,628 -4 9,321 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New software sales by QPR are increasingly made through software rentals rather than perpetual license sales, which is reflected as decline in software license net sales and increase in software rental net sales. In Finland, clear majority of new sales are made on a rental basis. Internationally, however, the transition is still ongoing. In the third quarter, software license net sales decreased 34%. Net sales from software maintenance services declined 11%, partly due to exchange rate changes. Net sales from consulting services increased 2%. Net sales from enterprise architecture consulting grew strongly, whereas net sales from technical consulting decreased. Total recurring revenue (net sales from software maintenance services and software rentals) grew 2% in the third quarter. The growth in recurring revenues was slowed down by exchange rate changes in maintenance service revenues. The share of recurring revenue of total net sales was 60% (58) in the third quarter. Net sales by product group in January-September developed similarly as in the third quarter.

The growth was especially strong in net sales from software and services aiming at developing enterprise architecture. Net sales from technical consulting decreased. Net sales in the Resellers business decreased 11% in the third quarter, primarily due to decline in software license net sales and exchange rate changes in maintenance service revenues. Net sales in January-September developed similarly as in the third quarter.

Operating profit in the Direct and OEM business declined in the third quarter compared to the previous year, due to continued outlays in the growth businesses. Operating profit in the Resellers business increased, as credit losses of EUR 15 thousand (53) included in the results were lower than in the previous year. The Group's expenses in the third quarter declined 4%, mainly due to lower credit losses. Personnel expenses in the third quarter were on the previous year's level and were 68% of total expenses (65).

The Group's profit before taxes in January-September was EUR 347 thousand (562). Income taxes were EUR 52 thousand (137).

OTHER EVENTS IN JANUARY-SEPTEMBER In March, QPR Software and the German software company JobRouter AG announced a new process analysis service based on QPR ProcessAnalyzer software. The companies have agreed on cooperation, where JobRouter will use QPR ProcessAnalyzer software in fact-based visualizing and analysis of their customers' processes in the JobRouter workflow solution. In April, QPR Software published an agreement with CGI, the leading IT and business process services company, for a new process analysis service based on QPR ProcessAnalyzer software product. With the service, CGI will be able to show their customers the real state of their processes and help support them in reaching operational efficiency. For QPR, the partnership gives the opportunity to bring QPR ProcessAnalyzer to a larger clientele. In April, after a tender competition, Hansel Oy, the central procurement unit of the Finnish Government, elected QPR Software as one of the frame agreement providers of management consulting services for years 2013-2017. The frame agreement enables QPR to offer its professional services in simplified tender competitions by government entities in their operational development and enterprise architecture projects. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 1, 2013, QPR Software released version 4.5 of its QPR ProcessAnalyzer software. The latest version enables continuous process analytics by providing automated ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) functionalities. This supports the transition from one-off analyses to real-time monitoring of process performance that can be used, for example, to optimize order-to-delivery process. Through continuous automated process analysis, companies have good visibility over their process efficiency and operations. On October 8, 2013, QPR Software announced the signing with the Finnish Tax Administration of a frame agreement on management consulting services until the end of 2017. GOVERNANCE The Annual General Meeting on March 14, 2013 resolved that the Board of Directors consists of four (4) ordinary members. The AGM elected the following members to the Board of Directors: Kirsi Eräkangas, Jyrki Kontio, Vesa-Pekka Leskinen and Topi Piela. In its first meeting following the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Vesa-Pekka Leskinen as Chairman of the Board. The AGM elected KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, as QPR Software Plc's auditors, with Kirsi Jantunen, Authorized Public Accountant, acting as principal auditor. The AGM authorized the Board to decide on issuing new shares and repurchasing the Company's own shares. The conditions of all authorizations of the Board and other decisions made by the Annual General Meeting are available in their entirety on the stock exchange release published by the Company on March 14, 2013 and available on the investors section of the Company's web site, www.qpr.com. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Internal control and risk management in QPR Software aims to ensure that the Company operates efficiently and effectively, distributes reliable information, complies with regulations and operational principles, reaches its strategic goals, reacts to changes in the market and operational environment, 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. 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 management's estimate, to some extent increased the credit risk that has earlier remained on a moderate level, and has resulted in increased credit losses. During the current year, however, the amount of credit losses and overdue receivables has been clearly lower than in the previous year. In January-September, EUR 36 thousand (202) of credit losses were recorded. The amount of trade receivables over 60 days past due was 9% (11) of total trade receivables at the end of the quarter. Approximately 65% of Group's trade receivables were in euro at the end of the quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Company had not hedged its foreign currency (non-euro) trade receivables. No significant changes have taken place in the Company's short-term risks and uncertainties during January-September. Risks and risk management related to the Company's business are further described in the Annual Report 2012, pages 14-15 (www.qpr.com/investors/key-figures-and-reports.htm).

Starting from the beginning of 2013, the Company has applied certain new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations as described in the Consolidated Financial Statements 2012.

For all other parts, the accounting and valuation principles are the same as they were in the 2012 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 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 report is unaudited. During the reporting period, the Group did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value.
