Management Report

The Group's non-audited net sales for the second quarter of financial year 2013/14 were 1.99 million LVL (2.84 million EUR), decreasing by 25.8% compared to the second quarter of the previous financial year and being by 17% lower than sales in the previous quarter – Q1 of FY 2013/2014. The sales were substantially lower than planned as deliveries of several large orders were postponed to year 2014.

Comparing sales results with the second quarter of the financial year 2012/2013, sales were lower in all regions, where the Group delivers. Sales in Americas formed almost half (46%) of turnover amounting to 0.92 million LVL (1.13 million EUR) and was by 12% more than in the previous quarter of the current financial year. Both - sales of standard CFIP products and deliveries of custom made solutions formed results in Europe and CIS region, which accounted 36% out of all quarterly sales. The largest decrease in sales (by 44%) was in Asia Pacific, Africa, and Middle East region, substantially impacted by postponed deliveries of produced orders.

During reporting quarter, SAF Tehnika continued its Europe roadshow for current and potential customers, presenting latest products Integra and Spectrum Compact , and organizing similar seminars for CIS clients as well. In order to meet clients, maintain presence and present the Group's product offering, SAF Tehnika participated in regional exhibitions such as "WISPAPALOOZA", (Las Vegas, USA), "AfricaCom 2013"(Cape Town, South Africa), "CNX7"(Frankfurt, Germany). Following the latest trends in design and accessibility the Group redesigned its website (www.saftehnika.com), which now is more concise, easy to navigate. The Group continued to develop video tutorials presenting application of SAF Tehnika products.

Chart 1. Quarter 2 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Group's products were sold in 55 countries during the reporting quarter.

While the sales volume for CFIP product line slightly shrunk, it still represents largest part of the total sales of the reporting quarter, strengthening its position as the main product line in SAF

portfolio. FreeMile product line is on demand mostly in Europa and USA. Ever increasing demand was observed for Spectrum Compact and Marathon. The Group still receives orders for the oldest CFM line products, thus affirming that the product line is still popular among the customers.

One of the main events in the reporting period was beginning of commercial production of Integra product line. A mission of production in following months will be securing scheduled delivery times for ever increasing number of Integra orders.

The Group's consolidated non-audited net sales for the 6 months of the financial year 2013/14 were 4.4 million LVL (6.25 million EUR) representing a year-on-year decrease of 5%. The main reasons for the decrease were: weakness in AsiaPasific, Africa, MiddleEast where sales of the first 6 months of this financial year were 1.04 million LVL (1.48million EUR) or 13% lower than in the first half of FY 2012/13, and slowing sales in Americas – a decrease of 11%, while Europe, CIS showed 10% growth over the year due to more intensive sales endeavors.

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/ LVL exchange rate impacted negatively the Group's bottom line.

The consolidated net loss of the Group for the second quarter of 2013/14 financial year was - 251 thousand LVL (-357 thousand EUR), which is by 81 thousand LVL (115 thousand EUR) larger loss compared with the same quarter in the previous financial year.

Market overview

In opinion of SAF Tehnika the market conditions have not changed from previous reporting period to any significant degree. The drive for higher capacity of radio connections is slowly leading to wider adoption of equipment based on upcoming generation of modem technology. Radio frequency band wise - market is still dominated by product operating in spectrum bands between 6 to 40GHz, adoption of E- and V- band radios is happening slower than predicted few years ago.

Guidance

The Group is financially stable. The Group's main tasks stays unchanged – development of the Integra product line and working 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. The Group has set tasks to strengthen sales team, enlarge customer base in a strategic markets and regain higher sales and profitability. Meanwhile the further company's sales results largely depend on external factors such as availability of production components and financing allocation in customer's organization, therefore the Board of the Group would like to avoid being specific in predictions of sales and financial result projections.

On December 31, 2013 the Group employed 167 people (166 people on December 31, 2013).
