Management Report

Line of business

A/S "SAF Tehnika" and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the Group) is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of digital microwave communication equipment. The Group provides end-to-end and cost-effective wireless broadband connection solutions for digital voice and data transmission to fixed and mobile operators and data service providers both in the public and private sectors as an alternative to cable networks.

In the financial year (FY) 2015/2016, the Group's net turnover was 13.71 million EUR, which is EUR 854 thousand or 6.6% more as compared to the previous FY 2014/2015. The net turnover of the Parent company was EUR 12.14 million in FY 2015/2016, which is by EUR 115 thousand less than in the previous FY 2014/2015.

In the reporting year, the Group continued to work at the research and identification of customer-specific needs by developing and improving the offer of niche products. Additional revenue was drawn from the development of specific customer required functionality of A/S "SAF Tehnika" products. There remains an increased demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data transmission rate and can be enhanced and updated in order to improve data usage. This tendency increasingly determines the direction of new product development both for A/S "SAF Tehnika" and across the markets.

In the American region, where we keep accounting records of sales in the countries of both North, South, and Central Americas, the turnover was 10% higher than in the previous year and made up to 52% of the annual turnover of the Group. The US subsidiary company "SAF North America" LLC made a significant contribution to the product marketing and sales in USA and Canada. It also provides services of product warehousing and logistics. Sales / Turnover? in the European and CIS region dropped by 4% due to structural changes of sales volumes. This, in turn, secured a 29% increase in the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region in the reporting year, where the competition in the market of wireless data communication equipment is still highly intense. The turnover increase was related to the development of data transmission solutions and products tailored to specific customer needs.

Exports made 99.14% of the Group's (99.11% of the Parent company's accordingly) turnover and amounted to EUR 13.6 million (EUR 13.02 million, accordingly). During the reporting year, the Group exported its products to 76 countries worldwide.

In order to promote the recognition of SAF brand and to introduce SAF products and solutions to the existing and potential clients, the Group continued to actively participate in the most significant trade shows across Europe, America and Asia, with a special focus on the Spectrum Compact product line and next generation of INTEGRA products.

Export activities of the Group were supported by the Investment and Development Agency of Latvia (LIAA), which cofunded the Group's participation in some of the industry exhibitions.

In the reporting period, CFIP products were in the highest demand and the best-selling products were Integra, Lumina, FreeMile, and Marathon. There is an increasing demand for newer products of the Spectrum Compact line – measuring equipment for data network engineers.

At the end of the year, the Group's (Parent company's) net cash funds balance was EUR 5.91 million (EUR 5.67 million accordingly). The Group's (Parent company`s) net cash flow was EUR 1 591 thousand (EUR 1 909 thousand accordingly) for the period of 12 months of the reporting year.

During the reporting year, the Group invested EUR 456 thousand into IT infrastructure, production and research equipment, purchase of software and licenses, as well as product certification.

The Group (Parent company) closed the FY 2015/2016 with profit of EUR 926 thousand (EUR 889 thousand accordingly), which is by EUR 353 thousand (EUR 334 thousand accordingly) less than in previous FY. The difference was largely made by lower revenues from currency fluctuations.

Research and Development

The Group's long-term prerequisite for the existence and a success factor is its ability to ensure continuous product development. During the financial year, the Group continued to develop the INTEGRA product line by extending the offer in various frequency ranges, as well as finding solutions to enhance the functionality, improve performance and reduce production costs. The next generation of INTEGRA products was announced. Understanding the customers' desire to reduce installation time and costs for data communication equipment, as well as identifying the shortage of easy-to-use auxiliarydevices on the market, the Group continued its work at the development of new versions of its spectrum analyzer – Spectrum Compact. A unique pocket-sized e-band microwave spectrum analyzer was put on the market. This device allows adjusting, troubleshooting and monitoring microwave data communication equipment in the frequency band between 70GHz and 87GHz.

Designs of new products are in progress. In the reporting period, the Latvian electrical and optical equipment industry competence center "LEO Pētījumu centrs" SIA provided EUR 345 thousand in co-funding to the Group's product development projects.

Notes to the financial statements

1. General information

The core business activity of A/S "SAF Tehnika" (hereinafter – the Parent company) and its subsidiaries (together hereinafter referred to as the Group) is the design, production and distribution of microwave radio data transmission equipment thus offering an alternative to cable channels. The Group offers products to mobile network operators, data service providers (such as Internet service providers and telecommunications companies), as well as state institutions and private companies.

Promotion of the Parent company's products and services, marketing, market research, attraction of new clients and technical support in North America is provided by a 100% subsidiary "SAF North America" LLC. The said company is registered in the USA and operates in Aurora, Colorado.

In August 2012 another company began operations in North America – "SAF Services" LLC, in which the Parent company held 50% shares (joint venture arrangement). The objective of establishing "SAF Services" LLC was to provide local clients with services connected with the creation, long-term maintenance and management of data transmission networks. The test network set up by "SAF Services" LLC using the equipment of A/S "SAF Tehnika" was a success and the client recognised it to be compliant with the defined requirements but no cooperation agreement was signed and "SAF Services" LLC was unable to generate any income from its investments. Consequently, any further development of this business in the USA was suspended and the founder and holder of 50% shares, "STREAMNET" OU, discontinued cooperation. In April 2015 the Parent company became the sole owner of "SAF Services" LLC.

The Parent company is a public joint stock company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Latvia. Its legal address is Ganību dambis 24a, Riga, LV-1005, Latvia.

The shares of the Parent company are listed on "Nasdaq Riga" AS Stock Exchange, Latvia.

These separate financial statements of A/S "SAF Tehnika" and consolidated financial statements of A/S "SAF Tehnika" and its subsidiaries (hereinafter – financial statements) were approved by the Parent company's Board on 26 October 2016. The financial statements will be presented for approval to the shareholders' meeting. The shareholders have the power to reject the financial statements prepared and issued by management and the right to request that new financial statements be issued.

2. Summary of accounting principles used

These financial statements are prepared using the accounting policies and valuation principles set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The previous financial statements were prepared for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 and are available at the Parent company's headquarters on Ganību dambis 24a, Riga, Republic of Latvia and at the Parent company's website: www.saftehnika.com.

A Accounting principles

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention less impairment.

New Standards and interpretations

Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that for the first time are applicable to financial statements for year ended 30 June 2016.

(i) New IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts"

This standard does not apply to the Group and thus affects neither the Group's nor the Parent company's financial statements

(ii) Amendment to IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible assets" on depreciation and amortisation

The amendment provides additional guidance on how the depreciation or amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets should be calculated. It is clarified that a revenue based method is not considered to be an appropriate manifestation of consumption. The amendments do not have any impact on the Group or Parent company as they don't use a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.

(iii) Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" and IAS 41 "Agriculture" regarding bearer plants

Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41Agriculture. Instead, IAS 16 will apply. The amendments do not have any impact on the Group or Parent company as they do not have any bearer plants.

New Standards and Interpretations (continued)

(iv) Amendments to IAS 27 "Separate financial statements" on the equity method

The amendments allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. These amendments do not have impact on the separate financial statements of the Parent company since the company continue to apply historical cost method when accounting for its investments in subsidiaries.

Annual improvements for 2012 – 2014 cycle

(v) IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations"

Since the Group does not have non-current assets held for sale, then these improvements do not impact either the Group or the Parent company.

(vi) IFRS 7 "Financial instruments: Disclosures"

Improvements relate to condensed interim financial statements and servicing contracts that includes a fee that may constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group or Parent company.

IAS 19 "Employee benefits"

The amendments clarify how to account for employment related payments into defined benefit plans. Since there are no such payments within the Group, the amendments do not impact either the Group or the Parent company.

(vii) IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting"

The amendments clarifies disclosure requirements for the interim financial reporting. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group or Parent company.

(viii) Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

The amendments clarify, rather than change, existing IAS 1 requirements. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group or Parent company.

(ix) Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28

The amendments clarify applying the investment entities exception. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group or parent company.

(x) IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests in other entities"

IFRS 12 is a consolidated disclosure standard about the entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. This standard does not have material impact on the Group's or the Parent company's financial statements.

B Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Subsidiary was established; therefore acquisition accounting was not applied.

(b) Investment in equity-accounted investees

Investment in equity-accounted investees was an investment in a joint venture, which became a subsidiary after the acquisition of additional shares in 2015. Joint venture is a structure over which the Group has joint control ensuring that the Group is entitled to net assets of this structure rather than has rights with regard to assets and obligations with regard to liabilities. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for on equity basis. Investments are disclosed at cost including directly attributable transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the share of the Group in the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of joint venture until the joint control ends.

Subsidiaries and joint ventures controlled by the Parent company:

In April 2015 the Parent company became the sole owner of "SAF Services" LLC. At the end of the reporting year "SAF Services" LLC is a dormant entity.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed when necessary in order to ensure consistency with those of the Group.

(c) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Internal transactions, account balances and unrealized gains from transactions between the Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized gains are also eliminated unless objective evidence exists that the asset involved in the transaction has impaired. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with a joint venture are also eliminated.

C Foreign currency revaluation

(a) Functional and reporting currency

Items included in the financial statements of each structural unit are measured using the currency of the economic environment in which the structural unit operates (the functional currency).

Financial accounting of the Group and the Parent company is carried out in euro and the financial statements are prepared and presented in euro.

(b) Transactions and balances

All amounts in these financial statements are expressed in the Latvian official currency – euro (EUR). Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the reference exchange rate set by the European Central Bank as at the transaction date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the reporting date exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement of the respective period.

All monetary asset and liability items were revalued to the functional currency of the Group (Parent company) according to the reference exchange rate of the European Central Bank on the reporting date. Non-monetary items of assets and liabilities are revalued to the functional currency of the Group in accordance with the reference exchange rate set by the European Central Bank on the transaction date.

(c) Group companies

The results of operations and the financial position of the Group companies (none of which are operating in hyperinflation economics) that operate with functional currencies other than the reporting currency are translated to the reporting currency as follows:

(i) Assets and liabilities are converted according to exchange rate as at the date of statement of financial position;

(ii) Transactions of the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are revalued according to exchange rate as at the date of transaction; and

(iii) All currency exchange differences are recognized as a separate item of equity.

2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)

D Fixed assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenses directly related to acquisition of fixed assets. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such fixed asset if the asset recognition criteria are met.

Leasehold improvements are capitalized and disclosed as fixed assets. Depreciation of these assets is calculated over the shorter of the leasehold period or the estimated useful life on a straight line basis.

Where an item of fixed assets has different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of fixed assets.

The cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group (Parent company) and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of fixed assets is recognised in the profit or loss statement as incurred.

Current maintenance costs of tangible assets are recognized in the profit and loss statement as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the entire useful lives of the respective fixed asset to write down each asset to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life using the following rates:

% per year
Equipment 25
Vehicles 20
Other equipment and machinery 20 – 50

Capital repair costs on leased fixed assets are written off on a straight line basis during the shortest of the useful lifetime of the capital repairs and the period of lease.

The assets residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount (see Note G).

Profit and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the respective carrying amount and included in the profit or loss statement.

E Intangible assets

(a) Trademarks and licences

Trademarks and licenses have a definite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis to allocate the costs of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful life, which usually is 3 years.

(b) Software

The acquired software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the purchase and installation costs. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of 4 years.

F Cost of research and development activities

Research costs are recognized in profit and loss statement as incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development expenditure on an individual project is recognized only when the Group (Parent company) can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intentions to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, and when the Group (Parent company) can demonstrate how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Following the initial recognition of the development expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Any expenditure capitalized is amortized over the period of the expected future sales from the related project.

2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)

G Impairment of long term investments

Intangible assets that are not put in use or have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.

Moreover, the carrying amounts of the Group's (Parent Company's) fixed assets and intangible assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation and other non-current assets except for inventory and deferred tax asset are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in relation to which the future cash flows have not been adjusted.

All Group's (Parent Company's) assets are allocated to two cash generating units that are identified as Group's (Parent Company's) operating segments (see Note 18). There have been no impairment indicators noted.

In respect of non-current assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

H Segments

Information on the Group's (Parent company's) operating segments is disclosed in Note 18. Segment results that are reported to the Chief Executive Officer of the Group (Parent company) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Group's (Parent Company's) headquarters), head office expenses, and tax assets and liabilities.

I Government grants

Government grants are recognized where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Government grants are systematically recognized as income in the respective periods in order to balance them with compensated expenses thus recognizing receivables. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the profit or loss statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

Within the framework of the contract signed between A/S "SAF Tehnika" and "LEO Pētījumu centrs" SIA a cooperation project on a "Competence centre for the Latvian industry of manufacturing electrical and optical devices" was implemented till 31 December 2015, regarding which "LEO Pētījumu centrs" SIA had signed a contract with State Agency Latvian Investment and Development Agency in order to obtain financing from the European Regional Development Fund. As part of the above project, A/S "SAF Tehnika" was conducting three individual research activities to develop new products. In order to implement projects under these activities, co-financing was provided to cover remuneration of project staff and other costs related to the specific projects. Co-financing received related to expense items recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and thus was recognized as income in order to compensate the costs incurred.

On May 2016 a new contract between A/S "SAF Tehnika" and "LEO Pētījumu centrs" SIA was signed for implementation of the project on a "Support for development of new products and technologies within the competence centers". The project was started in June 2016.

In case the co-financing is granted, however the cash is not yet received, respective receivables are recognized in Statement of Financial Position under Other receivables.

2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)

J Stock

Stock is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is measured based on the first in – first out (FIFO) method. Costs of finished goods and work-in-progress include cost of materials, personnel and depreciation.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Groups (Parent companys) business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimating the net sales value of inventory, the carrying amount is reduced in relation to the slow-moving inventory. Slow-moving inventory is the inventory which movement in 12, 9 or 6-month period respectively has been less than 30% comparing with the amount at beginning of period. Provisions for slow-moving inventory are made according to the following rates:

The time interval where has not been movement Provisions rate %
6 to 8 months 20
9 to 11 months 50
12 months and more 100

K Financial Instruments

The Group's (Parent company's) financial instruments consist of trade receivables, equity-accounted investees, investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, investments in other companies' equity, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, trade payables and other payables and derivatives. All other financial assets except for equity-accounted investees and derivatives are classified as loans and receivables but liabilities – as liabilities at amortised cost. Financial instruments of the Group (Parent company) except for derivatives are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group (Parent company) has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognized if the Group's (Parent company's) obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Loans, receivables and other debts

Loans, receivables and other debts are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, other than held for trading. Loans and receivables are stated at their amortized cost after deducting allowance for estimated irrecoverable amounts. Amortized cost is determined using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group (Parent company) estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments. An allowance for impairment of loans and receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group (Parent company) will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the loan or trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss statement. When a loan, receivables and other debts are uncollectible, it is written off.

Available for sale financial investments

Financial investments available-for-sale are acquired to be held for an indefinite period of time. Financial investments, whose market value is not determined in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are carried at acquisition cost less impairment. All other financial investments available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Profit or losses resulting from the change in fair value of financial investments available-for-sale, except for impairment losses, are recognised in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is derecognised; thereafter, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.

Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

For the description of accounting policy for derivatives see Note 3 (2).

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)

L Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise current bank accounts balances and deposits, and short term highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

M Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged against the share premium account.

N Corporate income tax and deferred tax

Corporate income tax comprises current and deferred tax.

The calculated current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred taxation arising from temporary differences between carrying amounts for accounting purposes and for tax purposes is calculated using the liability method. However, if the deferred tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business acquisition that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting, non- taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted by the financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Income taxes are recognized through profit or loss unless they relate to items recognized directly in equity.

O Employee benefits

The Group (Parent company) makes social insurance contributions under the State's health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the statutory rates in force during the year, based on gross salary payments. The Group (Parent company) will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the statutory fund cannot settle their liabilities towards the employees. Social insurance and pension plan contributions are included in the expenditures in the same period as the related salary cost.

P Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the goods and services sold, net of value-added tax and discounts. Revenue is recognized as follows:

(a)Sales of goods

Sale of goods is recognised when a Group (Parent company) has passed the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, i.e. delivered products to the customer and the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the contract terms, and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group (Parent company).

(b) Provision of services

Revenue is recognized in the period when services are provided.

(c) Provision of extended warranty service

The Group (Parent company) provides extended warranty service of three to five years in addition to standard one to five years period depending from product. Revenue is recognized over the warranty extension period.

Q Lease

Leases of fixed assets in which the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases (lease). Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss statement on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)

R Payment of dividends

Dividends payable to the shareholders are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders.

S Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest receivable on funds invested and foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest method. The interest expenses of finance lease payments are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:

  • (a) foreign currency risk;
  • (b) credit risk;
  • (c) liquidity risk:
  • (d) interest rate risk.

The Group's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise its potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. The responsibility for risk management lies with the Finance Department.

(a) Foreign currency risk

The Group operates in the international market and is subject to foreign currency risk arising primarily from USD fluctuations.

Foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency different from the Group's functional currency. To manage the foreign currency risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Group uses forward foreign currency contracts. The Finance Department analyses the net open position in each foreign currency. The Group might decide to enter to forward foreign currency contracts or to maintain borrowings (in form of credit line) in appropriate currency and amount.

The Group (including Parent company) has significant exposure of credit risk with its customers. The Group's policy is to ensure that wholesale of products is carried out with customers having appropriate credit history. If the customers are residing in countries with high credit risk, then Letters of Credit issued by reputable credit institutions are used as credit risk management instruments. In situations where no Letters of Credit can be obtained from reputable credit institutions, the prepayments from the customers are requested or State Export Guarantees purchased. Customers' financial position is monitored on regular basis and assigned credit limits has been changed based on credit history and customer's paying behaviour.

As at 30 June 2016, the Group's credit risk exposure to a single customer amounted to 16.76% of the total short and long-term receivables and 9.24% from total net sales (30.06.2015.: 12.52% and 5.64.% accordingly), and Parent company's credit risk exposure to a single customer amounted to 15.50% and 10.29% from total net sales (30.06.2015: 9.39% and 5.91% accordingly). With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from the default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure amounts to EUR 8 120 666 or 50.87% of total assets (30.06.2015.: EUR 8 090 941 or 59.29% of total assets), and Parent company's maximum credit risk exposure amounts to EUR 7 999 218 or 61.35% of total assets. For more information on the Group's and Parent company's exposure to credit risk please refer to Note 9.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group follows a prudent liquidity risk management and hence maintain a sufficient quantity of liquid funds. The Group's current liquidity ratio is 6.25 (30.06.2015: 5.8), quick liquidity ratio is: 4.09 (30.06.2015: 3.7), and Parent company's current liquidity ratio is 6.89 (30.06.2015: 6.6), quick liquidity ratio is: 4.55 (30.05.2015: 4.2).

The Group's management monitors liquidity reserves for the operational forecasting, based on estimated cash flows. Most of the Group's liabilities are short term. Management believes that the Group will have sufficient liquidity to be generated from operating activities and does not see significant exposure to liquidity risk. For more information on the Group's and Parent company's exposure to liquidity risk please refer to note 15.

(d) Interest rate risk

As the Group does not have significant interest bearing liabilities, thus the Group's cash flows and net results are largely independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group's cash flows from interest bearing assets are dependent on current market interest rates; however, as the Group and Parent company mainly has short- term interest-bearing liabilities, the exposure is not significant.

(2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which derivative contract is entered to and are subsequently re- measured at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.

Any profit or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives that do not qualify as hedge accounting are taken directly to profit or loss for the year.

As at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2015 the Group and parent company did not have any open derivative financial instruments agreements.

(3) Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of liabilities represent default risk. When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. Fair value is classified in various levels in the fair value hierarchy according to data used in measurement methods:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognizes reclassification among fair value hierarchy levels in the end of the reporting period in which the reclassification was performed.

Level 1 includes cash and its equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets with maturities below 3 months. The Group believes that the fair value of these financial assets correspond to their initial nominal value and carrying amount at any of the subsequent dates.

The Group does not have financial assets and liabilities included in Level 2.

Level 3 include trade receivables, other debts, other financial assets, trade payables and other payables, loans and other financial liabilities. These financial assets and liabilities usually mature within 6 months, therefore the Group believes that the air value of these financial assets correspond to their initial nominal value and carrying amount at any of the subsequent dates.

4. Management of the capital structure

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure indicator of the Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed in Note 16, cash and cash equivalents and equity, comprising issued capital, retained earnings and share premium. The gearing ratio at the year-end was as follows:

Group Parent company
30/06/2016 30/06/2015 30/06/2016 30/06/2015
EUR EUR EUR EUR
Liabilities 1 984 205 2 088 757 1 726 387 1 830 282

5. Key estimates and assumptions

The management of the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Recoverable amount and impairment of non-current assets

When the events and circumstances indicate a potential impairment, the Group performs impairment tests for items of fixed and intangible assets. According to these tests assets are written down to their recoverable amounts, if necessary. When carrying out impairment tests management uses various estimates for the cash flows arising from the use of the assets, sales, maintenance, and repairs of the assets, as well as in respect of the inflation and growth rates. If the situation changes in the future, either additional impairment could be recognised, or the previously recognised impairment could be partially or fully reversed. See also Note 2G.

At the reporting date there are no indications of impairment of fixed and intangible assets. The Group's cash flows from operating activities in the reporting year amount to EUR 1 155 thousand (2014/2015: EUR 2 575 thousand), and the Parent company's cash flows from operating activities in the reporting year amount to EUR 1 458 thousand (2014/2015: EUR 2 004 thousand). The Group will continue pursuing its strategy to develop competitive wireless data transmission products and solutions for new export markets, and maintain the current sound financial position and control over the production process with the aim to increase sales and profitability.

Useful lives of fixed assets

Management estimates the useful lives of individual fixed assets in proportion to the expected duration of use of the asset based on historical experience with similar fixed assets and future plans. Depreciation of fixed assets is charged to the profit or loss statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Depreciation of fixed assets is calculated over the shortest period – lease term or over the useful life. No depreciation is calculated for land. See also Note 2D.

Impairment of loans and receivables

The Group recognizes allowances for doubtful loans and receivables. In order to set unrecoverable amount of receivables, management estimates the basis of which is the historical experience are used. Allowances for doubtful debts are recognized based on an individual management assessment of recoverability of each receivable. See also Note 2K.

Net sales value of the inventory

The Group (Parent company) makes provisions in for slow-moving inventories. Inventories net realizable value are recognized, reducing inventory costs for the total amount of provisions. See also Note 2 J.

Provisions and accruals

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required from the Group to settle the obligation, and the amount of obligation can be measured reasonably. If the Group foresees that the expenses required for recognizing an allowance will be partly or fully repaid, for example, within an insurance contract, the recovery of such expenses is recognized as a separate assets only when it is certain that such expenses will be recovered. Expenses connected with any provisions are recognized in the profit or loss statement less recovered amounts.

As at the reporting date, the following provisions and accruals were recognized:

  • provisions for potential warranty expenses are recognized based on the management assessment of the risk of expected warranty repairs relating to the concluded contracts. The standard warranty period is one to five years depending from product;
  • accrued liabilities for unused vacations are calculated in accordance with the number of vacation days unused as at 30 June 2016 and the average remuneration during the last six months of the reporting year.

Deferred tax asset

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax amounts are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. See also Note 2N.

"SAF North America" LLC is a 100% subsidiary of the Parent Company that operates in Denver, USA, that started active operations in the spring of 2012 and promotes the Group`s products and services, performs marketing, market research, attraction of new clients and provides technical support in North America. Since 1 October 2014 the subsidiary is engaged in the distribution of goods in the North American region. As at 30 June 2016 the share capital of the subsidiary amounted to EUR 32 893 (30.06.2015.: EUR 32 893). 100% participation ensures absolute control of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities.

In August 2012, a joint of the Parent Company, "SAF Services" LLC began operations in North America and the Company invested in it EUR 65 420 which was a 50% holding. The objective of establishing "SAF Services" LLC was to provide local clients with services connected with the creation, long-term maintenance and management of data transmission networks. Joint control was established through equal voting rights and contractual arrangement. The test network set up by "SAF Services" LLC using the equipment of SAF Tehnika AS was a success and the client recognised it to be compliant with the defined requirements but no cooperation agreement was signed and "SAF Services" LLC was unable to generate any income from its investments. Consequently, any further development of this business in the USA was suspended and the founder, holder of 50% shares, "STREAMNET" OU, discontinued cooperation. In April 2015 the Parent company became the sole owner of "SAF Services" LLC. During 2014/2015 the Parent company's investment in "SAF Services" LLC share capital was increased by EUR 132 and as at 30 June 2016 its gross value amounted to EUR 65 552 (30.06.2015.: EUR 65 552). 100% participation ensures absolute control of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities. As at 30 June 2016 "SAF Services" LLC equity is negative, therefore the Parent company has made 100% provision for residual value impairment.

"Zinātnes parks" SIA is a limited liability company founded in April 2015 by the leading companies of electronics, telecommunications and optics industry. The aim of Zinātnes parks is to commence creating infrastructure for the next decade research, innovations and knowledge economics in cooperation with the industry's association and competence centres. The Parent company has invested EUR 960 in its share capital and has become the owner of 24% of its shares.

In September 2012, the Parent company acquired the shares of "LEITC" SIA (Latvijas Elektronikas iekārtu testēšanas centrs) and became the owner of 16.75% shares through an investment of EUR 477. The mission of LEITC is to support research of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and educational projects that aim to expand the knowledge base, the range of equipment and to set up a group of specialists capable of addressing today's and future EMC issues.

"LEO Pētījumu centrs" is a limited liability company established in 2010 by the members of the Latvian Electrical Engineering and Electronic Industry Association (LETERA) and the company's objective is to attract EU funding for research and development of new products in the sphere of electronics and electrical engineering.
