Management Report

The Group's non-audited net sales for the fourth quarter of financial year 2013/14 were 3.46 million EUR, increasing by 4% or 0.12 million EUR compared to the fourth quarter of the previous financial year and being by 1.14 million EUR more than sales in the previous quarter – Q3 of FY 2013/2014. This was the best quarter in terms of sales for the reporting financial year. Although number of orders had increased the Group was able produce and deliver SAF's products in competitive terms. Besides additional revenues were generated developing specific functions for SAF Tehnika products on particular customer's requests and providing technical consultations for network planning and building.

Sales in Americas formed the largest part - 55% of the turnover in Q4, amounted to 1.9 million EUR and was 52% more than in Q4 of previous financial year. Sales in Europe and CIS region increased by 26% comparing with the 4th quarter of the previous financial year and formed 39% of the quarterly sales. The large fall in the quarterly sales comparing year-to-year was from sales in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa region where sales dropped by 73% or by 597 thousand EUR. The Group is looking for the most appropriate sales strategies for particular countries in order to regain previous sales levels.

The Group actively worked on promotion of SAF Tehnika products - in particular for new next generation high performance point-to-point licensed microwave radio platform Integra product line, microwave spectrum analyzer Spectrum Compact and CFIP series radios As main events RF Technology Days in Mechelen, Belgium, NAB 2014 in Las Vegas, USA should be mentioned. Besides SAF North America organized six roadshows across the US to present and promote the Integra.

Chart 1. Quarter 4 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Group's products were sold in 54 countries during the reporting quarter.

The largest part of sales in FY 2013/14 represented CFIP products where FreeMile, Lumina and Marathon were sold the most. Upward trend was seen for Spectrum compact, low latency repeaters and new Integra products. The Group continued to develop Integra product line by widening frequency range and adding new features with reference to market demands and technology developments.

The Group's consolidated non-audited net sales for the 12 months of the financial year 2013/14 were 12.03 million EUR representing a year-on-year decrease of 9.86%. Europe and CIS region sales were by 2% higher than previous year, but this increase did not compensate 34% decrease in sales in Asia, Middle East and Africa countries where competition in the wireless backhaul equipment market remains fierce and vendors are squeezed by price wars. Americas result was by 0.3 million or 6% worse than year before.

Chart 2. 12 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Group is constantly looking for options to decrease product, production and other costs with the aim to increase competitiveness in the market.

Should be noted that the Group's participation in several international exhibitions and product development partially were co- financed by EU "Europe regional development fund". The total assigned co-financing amounts to 298 thousand EUR for the reporting financial year.

The Group's unaudited consolidated net profit for the 12 months of 2013/14 financial year was 119 thousand EUR.

The Group's net cash flow for the 12 month period of the financial year was positive – 1.27 million EUR. As of June 30, 2014, the Group carried a net cash balance (excluding interest bearing liabilities) of 4.07 million EUR. Cash flow was positively impacted by compensation received in March 2014 from the State Guarantee Agency according to an export credit guarantee agreement. Compensation (520 thousand USD) was paid for equipment delivered to Brazilian partner, who purchased SAF's equipment for implementation of the Brazilian TV broadcast network building project and has not paid for it. SAF's equipment was purchased in December 2012.
