Interim Report • 1 January – 30 September 2018
THQ NORDIC AB (PUBL) REG NO.: 556582-6558 INTERIM REPORT • 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2018 EBIT INCREASED 278% TO SEK 90.8 MILLION We had another stable quarter with continued momentum. The strategy of diversification is paying off. Net sales increased by 1,403% to a record SEK 1,272.7 million in the quarter. EBITDA increased by 521% to SEK 214.8 million and EBIT increased by 278% to SEK 90.8 million compared to the same period last year. The gross margin percentage decreased due to a large share of net sales with lower margin within Partner Publishing. Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was SEK –740.1 million, mainly due to the decision to replace forfaiting of receivables with bank debt within Koch Media. Both THQ Nordic and Koch Media contributed to the group’s EBIT during the quarter. Net sales in the THQ Nordic business area were up 47% to SEK 124.2 million. This was driven by the release of Titan Quest, Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered and This is the Police 2, in addition to continued performance of Wreckfest. Net sales of Deep Silver were SEK 251.8 million, driven by the release of Dakar 18 and a good performance of Pathfinder Kingmaker at the end of the quarter. The digital net sales of the back-catalogue in both business areas continued to have solid performances. Our Partner Publishing business area had a strong quarter driven by significant releases from our business partners Codemasters, SquareEnix and Sega. During the quarter, we acquired several strong IPs such as Alone in the Dark, Kingdoms of Amalur and Time- splitters. -

NPS Strategic Plan Final (1).Pdf
National Police Service “Service with Dignity” Strategic Plan 2013/14 -2017/18 National Police Service 2013 -2018 Strategic Plan iii Foreword It is with great pleasure that I release this strategic plan which will deliver the continued police reforms and transformation of the National Police Service. The plan articulates strategies that are being deployed over five (5) years towards a holistic transformation of the Service. In particular, it will strengthen the establishment of various institutions like Internal Affairs Unit, County Policing Authorities and Community Policing Committees as service delivery organs. Other areas of the strategy include provision of leadership and command to realise harmonisation of component Services, specifically Kenya Police and Administration Police. This will be achieved through collaboration and development of common programmes like training, use of standardised Service Standing Orders, and other administrative systems and approaches. To ensure a sustained reform agenda articulated in reform legislation, the reforms proposed in legislation and by various stakeholders will be implemented over the next five years. A Reforms Directorate will be established, which will link with reform champions across the Services. The reforms will focus primarily on the policing style, service delivery, modernisation of facilities and use of technology as a thrift to modern policing. This plan proposes establishment of strategic linkages with diverse stakeholders locally and internationally. NPS will target to benchmark and learn from the best police services in the world. This will ensure that NPS builds momentum towords achieving her grand vision of becoming; “A World-class Police Service.” The plan envisages strengthening of the institutional capacity that encompasses extensive training of officers, creating a condusive working environment and implementing a performance and quality management system. -

1 Thomas Feltes the Use of Force, Especially in Firearms, in Police
Thomas Feltes The use of force, especially in firearms, in police actions Lecture Seminário Internacional Qualidade da Atuaçao do Sistema de Defesa Social Belo Horizonte, Brazil, 23. ‐ 24.11.2009 1. Introduction During the opening session of the first Meeting of Public Security Ministers of the Americas, held in October 2008, the secretary general of the Organization of American States emphati‐ cally claimed that “security‐related issues have become one of the principal threats to stabili‐ ty, the strengthening of democracy, and the development potential of our region.”1 This statement highlighted the fundamental role that citizen security plays in the consolida‐ tion of Latin America’s democracies – and as a consequence of that, the role police has to play in this context. One of the most basic obligations of any democratic state is to guarantee the security of its population and preserve public order within a framework of respect for due process, univer‐ sally recognized human rights, and the rule of law. The lack of citizen security affects quality of life, opportunities for development, and rights as diverse as the right to freedom from harm and the right to property. In most of our countries, especially poor and lower class people suffer from crime on one side, but also target of police violence on the other side. This will widen the gap between the police and the people. But a police force can only be as strong and as successful as their cooperation with the people and the local citizens are. A “war on crime”, as declared by US‐Presidents years ago, is like the “war on drugs” a war against our own children, youngsters and looser in our society.
