Sales in Europe and the CIS region represented the largest part of the 2nd quarter's turnover (46%). Sales there rose by 68% or 0.68 million EUR compared with the same quarter of last financial year due to the Group's ability to provide products and solutions specific for particular customer needs – like low latency data transmission, industrial applications where fiber is not available and others. CIS part is still small in the region's sale. Sales in Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East represented 10% of quarterly sales and were 29% less than in the 2nd quarter of the previous financial year, but 23% more than in the Q1 of current financial year. Regaining previous sales level in Africa countries is one of challenges for next periods. Sales in the North and Latin America formed 44% of total sales. Due to increasing demand for SAF Tehnika products in North America market and with the aim to serve this market better several initiatives were realized during reporting quarter - such as enlarged stock levels in USA "SAF North America" stock available for fast deliveries on immediate demand and sales to North America customers were commenced from "SAF North America" as of October 1, 2014 (before this date all sales worldwide were done from the Parent).
In order to maintain international recognition and introduce SAF Tehnika products, especially newest – spectrum analyzer Spectrum Compact and Integra product line, present various applications of Spectrum Compact the Group successfully participated in several international exhibitions – such as AfricaCom 2014 (Cape Town, South Africa), EUTC 2014 in Monacco, WISPAPALOOZA in Las Vegas, USA, European Microwave Week (Rome, Italy). The Group continued to release video tutorials for its equipment users and customers (available in www.youtube.com and www.saftehnika.com).

The Groups continued to research market demand and problematic issues in order to provide necessary product modifications.
The Group's expenses did not exceed planned levels and in total was less than year before in the same period. Similarly as in the first quarter – Q2 result was positively impacted by favorable EUR/ USD exchange rate. It should be noted that deferred income from not earned profit from not sold Group's products kept in "SAF North America" stock was recorded, besides Income tax liability for deferred income from internal Group sales was calculated and recorded according to Latvia tax legislation. The Group's task for the next quarter is to optimize necessary stock levels and stock rotation indicators in "SAF North America" stock.

From SAF's perspective market conditions were relatively stable during reporting period. We experienced steady demand for both our existing products and services. There is definite interest in SAF's new developments, aiming to address growing demand of channel capacity from a single radio systems.
In 2015 there are no changes in the Group's main focus on developing excellent quality microwave data transmission equipment with competitive price and functionality balance, besides the Group is researching new niches to explore its microwave competence. Sales resources will be targeted to regions with highest potential. The Group is financially stable. The goal is to regain sales levels which ensures positive net result in a long-term. Due to intense competitive pressure the Board of the SAF Tehnika cannot provide certain prognosis for sales figures and operational results.
