SQS wins Contract with HVG

SQS Software Quality Systems AG (AIM:SQS.L), the global leader in independent software testing and quality management services, is
pleased to announce a new contract win with Hausztliche Vertragsgemeinschaft eG (HVG), the organisation that manages the contracts for the
German Association of General Practitioners.

This is a four year contract establishing SQS as the exclusive entity to certify software for HVG and, in its initial phase, will be
limited to the German state of Baden-Wemberg.

In accordance with the health insurer AOK Baden-Wemberg, HVG has entrusted SQS to act as a neutral examining authority to certify
software products used by general practitioners. This, therefore, is a very high-profile affirmation of the importance of independence in
providing thorough and effective software testing solutions.

The value of the contract cannot be confirmed as it will comprise of many small projects going forward. However, the cumulative value of
these over the next four years is expected to be of significance.

Rudolf van Megen, Chief Executive Officer of SQS commented, "I am delighted to announce the contract win with HVG which is a powerful
justification of the key element of the SQS offering, namely our independence, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship."
