Outlook 2012 In July, based on good first half of the year, QPR Software upgraded its estimate for 2012. Now the Company keeps this estimate intact and forecasts its net sales to grow approximately 18 - 24% in 2012. Software license net sales in the current quarter will determine the exact growth inside the given forecast range. QPR's software rental and professional service net sales are estimated to show continued strong growth, especially in enterprise architecture services. The Company estimates its operating profit in euros to improve slightly from the previous year (2011: EUR 755 thousand), despite increasing outlays in its growth businesses. 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.

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. This interim report is unaudited. QPR Software's business operations consist of software sales and professional services sales. The Company reports income for products and services as follows: software license sales, software maintenance services, software rentals and professional services. QPR reports the following business segments: Software Sales International (software license and rental sales, maintenance and professional services sales outside of Finland) and Business Operations Finland (software license and rental sales, maintenance and professional services sales in Finland). NET SALES QPR Software's consolidated net sales in July - September were EUR 2,011 thousand (1,772) and grew 13.5% compared to the equivalent period in the previous year. Organic net sales growth was 10.6%. Net sales growth was accelerated especially by software rentals offered by QPR (+99.4%) and professional services (+25.8%). New software sales are increasingly made through software rentals rather than perpetual license sales, which in July-September was reflected as clear decline in software license sales. Business operations in Finland represented 60.0% and international operations 40.0% of net sales. Consolidated net sales in January - September were EUR 6,628 thousand (5,324), and grew 24.5%. Organic business growth was 14.0%, and in addition the growth was accelerated by the consolidation of Nobultec Ltd. Business operations in Finland represented 58.1% and international operations 41.9% of net sales.

Growth was mainly due to organic growth, which was 26.0%. 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 - September, net sales in Finland rose 50.2% compared to the equivalent period in the previous year. Strong growth was due to organic business growth in QPR's software and professional services net sales and the consolidation of Nobultec Ltd as of August 2011. Fastest sales growth was achieved in software aimed at process and enterprise architecture development and in related professional services. International net sales decreased in July - September by 4.9% from the previous year, which was mainly due to decrease in software license net sales in international channel sales. The number of new license deals through channel partners was on the same level as last year, but the average deal size was smaller. In January - September, international net sales increased by 0.6%. Business did not develop in the same way in different markets. Net sales grew significantly in many markets, such as Germany and Far Eastern countries, but developed unfavorably in Southern Europe and Russia.

New software sales are increasingly made through subscription based rentals, rather than perpetual license sales. Furthermore, software license sales were negatively affected by the weak new sales development in Southern Europe. Recurring revenue (including net sales from software maintenance services and software rentals) in July-September grew 23.7%. New software subscriptions received by QPR showed strong increase compared to the equivalent period last year. Professional service net sales increased by 25.8%. The growth in professional service net sales was due to good success in enterprise architecture service sales. Software license net sales decreased slightly (-1.3%) in January - September, but the other product groups showed increase in net sales. Software rental net sales (+101.9%) and professional service net sales (+63.7%) grew fastest. The consolidation of Nobultec accelerated professional service net sales growth. Recurring revenue (including net sales from software maintenance services and software rentals) grew 18.3%.

QPR has, in line with its strategy, increased outlays into its new software products and growth businesses, which led to a 14.6% increase in the Group's expenses. Majority of the increase is personnel expenses. The Company has recruited new personnel especially into its Finnish service business, product development and QPR ProcessAnalyzer business development. Operating profit in Finland decreased slightly, which was due to outlays according to the Company's strategy. Operating profit in the international business grew from last year, thanks to lower level of expenses. Depreciation and amortization grew to EUR 174 thousand (157), which was mainly due to the consolidation of Nobultec Ltd and increase in the amortization of capitalized product development expenses. 38.5% of the Group's depreciation and amortization arise from corporate and business acquisitions made in 2008 - 2011. January - September Group operating profit increased to EUR 594 thousand (488). Operating profit in Business Operations Finland was higher than in the previous year, and was on a very high level especially at the beginning of the reporting period. Personnel recruitments made in the spring and in the summer have increased the level of expenses in Finland as planned. Operating profit in QPR's international business was negatively impacted by EUR 202 thousand (87) of credit losses. Despite this, operating profit in the international operations increased slightly, thanks to successful cost control. Depreciation and amortization grew to EUR 510 thousand (421). This was due to same reasons as in July - September. The Group's expenses increased by 24.9%, mainly due to the consolidation of Nobultec and outlays in growth businesses. Net financial expenses in January - September were EUR 32 thousand (26), of which net interests costs were EUR 11 thousand (19). Currency losses of EUR 21 thousand were the main reason for increased net financial expenses. Profit before taxes was EUR 562 thousand (462). Income taxes were EUR 137 thousand (102). Profit for the period was EUR 425 thousand (360) and earnings per share were EUR 0.03 (0.03). FINANCE AND INVESTMENTS Cash flow from operating activities developed very favorably in the reporting period January - September and was EUR 1,862 thousand (1,046). Strong growth was due to accelerated turnover of receivables, good development in software subscription sales (software rentals) and improved financial results. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period were EUR 1,797 thousand (913). The Group's investments in the reporting period January - September totaled EUR 398 thousand (1,170). The majority of the investments were made in product development. Interest-bearing liabilities decreased and were EUR 340 thousand (566) at the end of the reporting period.

The authorizations are in force until the next Annual General Meeting. On March 22, 2012, the Company issued a stock exchange release on the Board of Directors' decision to start acquiring own shares through public trading in NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. PRODUCT AND SERVICE DEVELOPMENT Product development expenses in the reporting period January - September were EUR 1,217 thousand (1,011), representing 18.4% (19.0) of consolidated net sales. Product development expenses do not include amortization of capitalized product development expenses. In the reporting period, product development expenses have been capitalized for a total amount of EUR 296 thousand (250). The amortization period for capitalized product development expenses is four years. The amortization of capitalized product development expenses in the reporting period was EUR 207 thousand (149). Product development employed 26 persons at the end of the reporting period, which corresponds to 32.5% of the total personnel (20.5). In the reporting period, product development activities focused on the development of a new version of the QPR product family, released in October 2012. Product development activities are especially focused on the QPR ProcessAnalyzer and QPR EnterpriseArchitect products. In its new process analysis business, the Company has adopted a more active IPR strategy than previously. As a result of this, QPR filed patent applications in respect of five separate inventions in Finland and the USA in the first quarter. The inventions relate to automated business process discovery based on processing event data. The Company aims to significantly increase 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.

The maximum annual bonus of executive management team, including the CEO, is 40%. Long-term remuneration of the executive management team consists of a share-based incentive plan. In 2011, the Board of Directors of QPR Software resolved on a new share-based incentive plan for management in years 2011 - 2013. 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.

OTHER EVENTS IN THE REPORTING PERIOD In the beginning of the reporting period, QPR started the integration of Nobultec Ltd's business into its Finnish business operations. In connection with the integration, the Group's service offering, consulting and sales resources have been strengthened and a process driven operating model, suitable for the requirements of growing business, has been adopted. The integration advanced as planned and was finalized in the second quarter. In June, Jaakko Riihinen was appointed Senior Vice President, Products & Technology and member of the executive management team. Mr Riihinen began his work on 13 August, 2012. He moved to QPR from Nokia Siemens Networks, where he since 2008 worked as Head of Research & Development at OSS Business Line as well as in the company's restructuring program. Prior to this, in 2001-2008, he worked as Director, Enterprise Architecture in Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks. Jaakko Salminen started in August as acting VP and member of the executive management team, responsible for international resellers and Russian business. Jaakko Salminen has previously worked as CEO of Finnish Software Entrepreneurs, Managing Director of Ravensoft and in several other management positions in technology companies. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD In the beginning of October, Mr. Pauli Leppänen was appointed Chief Financial Officer at QPR Software Plc as of 7 January, 2013. He moves to QPR from Sagacitas Finance Partners Oy, where he has worked as a Partner. In addition, he has worked as SVP, Head of Corporate Control and acting CFO at TeliaSonera AB (2003-2010), and in financial management and leadership positions in Sonera Corporation (1998-2002) and Outokumpu Oyj (1994-1997). The current CFO, Mrs. Päivi Martti, will continue in her position until 7 January, 2013. After this, from her own initiative, she takes up new tasks at QPR. QPR Software and ProcessGold, a German pioneer in process mining, announced on 17 October that the two companies have signed a strategic partnership agreement. The goal of the co-operation is to pave way for Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD) by using QPR ProcessAnalyzer software product. The partnership involves resale rights of QPR ProcessAnalyzer for ProcessGold, sharing of best practices and other co-operation initiatives. Combined, both companies have over 200 commercial process analysis projects under their belt making them the ultimate ABPD pioneers. GOVERNANCE The Annual General Meeting on 22 March, 2012 resolved that the Board of Directors consists of four (4) ordinary members. The Annual General Meeting elected the following members to the Board of Directors: Kirsi Eräkangas, Jyrki Kontio, Vesa-Pekka Leskinen and Topi Piela. In its first meeting immediately following the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Vesa-Pekka Leskinen as Chairman of the Board. KPMG Oy Ab, Authorized Public Accountants, continues as QPR Software Plc's auditors. 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 22, 2012 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 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 management's estimate, to some extent increased the credit risk that has remained on a moderate level in recent years. In the reporting period January - September, EUR 202 thousand (87) of 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 11.1% (26.1) of total trade receivables. 70% of Group's trade receivables are in euro. 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. In 2013, the value of global software sales is estimated to grow approximately 7% and global professional services sales to grow close to 6%. In July, based on good first half of the year, QPR Software upgraded its estimate for 2012. Now the Company keeps this estimate intact and estimates its net sales to grow approximately 18 - 24% in 2012. Software license net sales in the current quarter will determine the exact growth inside the given forecast range. QPR's software rental and professional service net sales are estimated to show continued strong growth, especially in enterprise architecture services. The Company estimates its operating profit in euros to improve slightly from the previous year (2011: EUR 755 thousand), despite increasing outlays in its growth businesses. 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. In the beginning of September, the Company established a Global OEM Business team to speed up the international growth for QPR ProcessAnalyzer and to search for OEM partners who will include QPR's products as part of their software or services. The Company also increases significantly its personnel 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.

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.
