The delivery of an electronic tolling system has been delayed beyond the initially estimated project completion in mid-2013, as customer and project-specific requirements have proven to demand system adaptations that have been unfeasible within the currently established timelines. A decision to consider alternative options required termination of the existing tolling systems contract.

RMS and Q-Free has a long-standing business relationship and continues the cooperation on other contracts including tag deliveries and tolling system service and maintenance agreements.

It is too early for Q-Free to assess the financial implications of the termination. Since the project start-up, Q-Free has recognized revenues of approximately NOK 18 million related to the project, of which approximately NOK 15 million in 2013. Q-Free’s liabilities under the contract are capped to the contract value of NOK 33 million.
