Aira Loite COO, Member of the Management Board
The Group's non-audited net sales for the third quarter of financial year 2013/14 were 2.3 million EUR, decreasing by 37% or 1.35 million EUR compared to the third quarter of the previous financial year and being by 19% lower than sales in the previous quarter – Q2 of FY 2013/2014. Not all expected deliveries happened in Q3, mostly due to the fact as agreed prepayments were not received. Besides the Group was forced to cancel some large orders as a customer repeatedly postponed agreed delivery times and agreed price levels turned unprofitable due to unfavorable USD/EUR rate.
Comparing sales results with the third quarter of the financial year 2012/2013, sales were lower in all regions, where the Group delivers. Sales in Europe and CIS formed 42% of turnover amounting to 0.98 million EUR and was by 3% less than in the previous quarter of the current financial year. Sales in Americas formed almost similar portion of turnover. The weakest results were in Asia Pacific, Africa, and Middle East region - 0.38 million EUR decreasing by 42% comparing with the third quarter of previous financial year.
During reporting quarter SAF Tehnika participated at NATE UNITE show (San Diego, USA) where presented our handheld spectrum analyzer and got a lot of positive feedback on the device, exhibited in one of the largest telecom industry events in Europe – CeBit show in Hanover, Germany and at Animal Farm event in Salt Lake City, USA. New next generation high performance point-to-point licensed microwave radio platform Integra product line and microwave spectrum analyzer Spectrum Compact as well as other products, applications and video tutorials were presented.

Chart 1. Quarter 3 revenue breakdown comparative charts:
The Group's products were sold in 57 countries during the reporting quarter.
The largest part of sales represented CFIP products where FreeMile and Lumina were sold the most. The Group received ever more orders for Marathon, 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 9 months of the financial year 2013/14 were 8.56 million EUR representing a year-on-year decrease of 16%. As reasons for the decrease were fierce competition and requirement for ever lower price levels, worsen sales results in all regions - in particular in AsiaPasific, Africa, MiddleEast where sales of 9 months of this financial year were 1.85 million EUR or by 21% lower than in the first 9 months of FY 2012/13, decrease by 22% in sales in Americas. The results in Europe, CIS were more stable due to established customer base and the Groups ability to offer complex solutions especially for low latency data transmission. Chart 2. 9 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Group's expenses were in budget limits. The Group is constantly looking for options to decrease production and other costs with the aim increase competitiveness in the market. Declining USD/ EUR exchange rate impacted negatively the Group's bottom line.
The consolidated net loss of the Group for the third quarter of 2013/14 financial year was - 353 thousand EUR. The consolidated net loss of the Group for the 9 months of 2013/14 financial year was -580 thousand EUR.
The Group's net cash flow for the 9 month period of the financial year was positive – 736 thousand EUR. As of March 31, 2014, the Group carried a net cash balance (excluding interest bearing liabilities) of 3.53 million EUR. It has to be noted that SAF Tehnika received a compensation in March 2014 from the State Guarantee Agency according to an export credit guarantee agreement. Compensation (520 thousand USD) was paid for equipment delivered for 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.
Even though there is clear slowdown on the market in terms of microwave radios consumed to backhaul traffic in mobile/cellular networks - in SAF's opinion other segments on the market do continue to enjoy period steady development. The trend of growing capacity demands is expanding from developed markets in Europe and USA into other regions at increasing pace. Thus the Group cautiously optimistic about growth near to midterm prospects on the radio market.
The main task for the Group is to regain previous sales levels and positive net result. The Group will continue to develop Integra product line and will focus on specific niche products and solutions with the goal to satisfy ever increasing demand for efficient, qualitative, price attractive, high capacity data transmission products in the wide frequency range. Notwithstanding the financial results of the reporting period, the Group remains financially stable and confident to withstand periods of lower business activity. Due to intense competitive pressures, the Board of the Group does not assume any specific predictions of sales and financial results of the next reporting periods.
On March 31, 2014 the Group employed 169 people (163 people on March 31, 2013).
