48% of the quarterly turnover (1.7 million euros) is made by sales in North/Latin Americas. Because of implementation of various projects, the turnover of the region is 21% up compared to corresponding quarter of previous financial year. In the mean time projects will be entirely fulfilled in the third quarter.
The turnover in the European and CIS region was 41% or 1.4 million euros, which is equivalent to the average regional turnover. However, it is 35% lower than in second quarter of the previous financial year which had a successful result related to development of data transmission sulutions tailored to specific customer needs.
In the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region, the turnover was 11% or 0.4 million euros from the Q2 turnover. Compared to the turnover in the same quarter of the previous financial year, the region's turnover has decreased by 40%. Also the successful result of the region during the second quarter of the previous financial year was related to individual, much larger project.
During period from October to December this financial year SAF Tehnika took part in various important exhibitions in different regions. Two most outstanding are GITEX Technology week in Dubai, UAE, which is the most significant technology show in the Middle East, as well as AfricaCom in Cape Town, South Africa, which is the largest exhibition in Africa for telecommunication industry. The latest product line ARANET was exhibited in one of the most significant local technology shows RigaCom.

In October issue of Mictowave Journal had an article which announced the latest addition to Spectrum Compact product line – V-Band Spectrum Compact.

During the reporting quarter, the Group sold its products in 49 countries.
Group`s unaudited consolidated result of 6-month period of financial year 2017/2018 was 7.5 million euros, which is 8% less compared to income volume of the same period last year. The fluctuation of the turnover is a result of increasing share of projects in it.
6-month period income in North/Latin Americas compose 56% of the Groups turnover and is 4.2 million euros, which is 3% up compared to first half year of the previous financial year. 35% of total turnover is income in European and CIS region, which has decreased by 19% or 625 thousand euros comparing to the previous year. The successful result of the previous year in the region was linked to development of data transition equipment that was adjusted to specific customer needs. Income from AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region has gone down by 17% or 140 thousand euros and forms 9% of the Groups total 6-month turnover.
Comparative charts of sales volumes (within 6 months) by regions:
The Group's costs did not exceeded the planned levels but were generally higher than during the same period a year ago due to investments in sales promotion in existing and new markets.
The Group closed Q2 of the FY 2017/2018 with loss of 258 thousand euros (unaudited). USD/EUR exchange rate continues to negatively affect the Group's net results.
The unaudited consolidated result for the 6-month period of the financial year is 131 thousand euros profit. That is 694 thousand less (from it 400 thousand is affect from USD/EUR exchange rate) compared to 825 thousand euro profit that was the 6-month result of the previous financial year.
The financial year of SAF Tehnika does not match the calendar year. Therefore, for the purpose of calculating corporate income tax, the company prepares a financial (interim) statement and a tax return. Deferred tax assets have been revalued.
During the 6-month period of the financial year the Group had a negative net cash flow equaling to 1.9 million euros. In December 2017 dividends of 0.67 euros (sixty seven euro cents) per share or 1.990 million euros in total were paid.
As of the end of the reporting period, the net cash balance of the Group was EUR 4.5 million.
In the second quarter of the financial year 2017/2018, 67 thousand euros were invested in acquisition of fixed assets.
The microwave radio market has not experienced any rapid changes over the past quarter, and we believe no such changes are expected in the near future.
There is still an increase in demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data transmission rate and can be enhanced and updated in order to improve data usage.
SAF Tehnika is the company with the long-term competence in development and production of microwave radios.
The Group continues to explore market requirements and problematic issues in order to be able to provide necessary product modifications. The Group is financially stable.
The goal of the Company is to stabilize sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term. The Board of SAF Tehnika maintains cautious optimism, but cannot provide a sales and performance forecast.
On 31 December 2017, the Group numbered 193 employees (there were 184 employees on 31 December, 2016).
