SAF Tehnika JSC (the "Company") is a designer, producer and distributor of digital microwave data transmission equipment. The Company offers comprehensive, cost‐effective PDH, SDH and IP broadband wireless connectivity solutions for digital voice and data transmission to fixed and cellular network operators, data service providers, governments and private enterprises as an alternative to cable communications channels.
The Company's net sales for the financial year 2009/2010 were LVL 10.23 million (EUR 14.55 million) representing a 16% increase compared with the previous financial year's net sales. The best sales results were achieved in the Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East region where 88% y‐o‐y growth was reached, amounting to LVL 5.96 million (EUR 8.48 million) in the 12 months of FY 2009/10 and represented the largest part of the turnover (58%). Sales volumes in the Americas have increased by 33% and formed 18% of total sales. Sales in Europe and the CIS region represented 24% of financial year's sales and were substantially (by 42%) lower than in the previous financial year. This was mostly impacted by very low sales in the CIS in the calendar year 2009 which were re‐commenced in 2010.
The number of countries where the Company has delivered its products in 2009/10 amounted to 79 in total. Five out of 79 are new markets. The recent customer survey lists product price, quality and customer support as the key features for choosing SAF Tehnika as partner.
The Company's aggregate export sales for the reporting period slightly increased and were LVL 10.03 million (EUR 14.27 million) comprising 98.08% from total net sales.
The net profit of the Company for the financial year 2009/2010 is LVL 1.487 million (EUR 2.116 million). This is an excellent result and proves that the Company's strategy towards development of a new CFIP product line, expansion of direct sales, investments into product marketing, cost savings into production and operations was right and has provided SAF Tehnika a more stable position with positive perspectives. The invaluable work and loyalty of the Company's employees also has to be mentioned as a key to success.
The Company's net cash flow for the 12 month period of the financial year was a positive LVL 66 thousand LVL (EUR 95 thousand). Moreover LVL 1.66 million (EUR 2.36 million) were kept in bank deposits (deposit period more than 90 days). This explains the negative cash flow from investing activities. The cash flow in financing activities was negative due to the payment of dividends of LVL 0.23 (twenty three santims) per share or, LVL 683 thousand in December 2009. This was on account of surplus funds and favourable taxation conditions at the time.
During the reporting year the Company invested LVL 99 thousand (EUR 141 thousand) in product certification, development and production software, production equipment and IT.
So as to strengthen SAF's brand, meet current and potential customers and exhibit the latest products ‐ CFIP Lumina FODU and CFIP PhoeniX Split Mount system the Company participated in several IT&T events; among them the most significant were the AfricaCom 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa, CeBIT in Hannover, Germany at SviazExpo Comm 2010, Moscow, Russia. Participation was co‐funded by the European Regional Development fund and Latvian state.
SAF Tehnika's R&D is as busy as ever with many notable development projects. The main direction was and is a further development of radios from the Company's flagship CFIP product line. A lot of work has to be invested in deliver for somewhat conflicting demands from the market:
‐ for low to medium capacity and affordable, but highly spectrally efficient entry level systems to developing regions and
‐ for feature rich high capacity premium grade radio systems to regions with already developed telecommunication infrastructure.
Developments to maintain CFQ and CFM product lines are ongoing in order to continue production, decrease product costs.
SAF Tehnika continues to pursue its established course, taking into account its stable financial position, control over the production process and CFIP product development. There will be ongoing attention to the reduction of production expenses by means of more efficient product design and improvement of internal processes. The core focus is the full introduction of an extensive CFIP product line and development of customer‐tailored solutions. The main target for the Company in the coming years is to achieve steady growth, maintaining high production quality and customer satisfaction levels. As uncertainty in the global telecommunication market continues, the Board of the Company cannot provide certain prognosis for sales figures despite positive results of the reporting financial year.
The Board is proposing to retain 54% of current year's profits in order to preserve the Company's financial stability and to pay out remaining 46% as dividends.

Vents Lācars Chairman of the Supervisory Council Riga, 7th October 2010


The Company is defined by its employees. At SAF Tehnika all efforts are invested into providing the employees with a wealth of opportunities to reach their full potential. Professional employees at the Company who apply their knowledge and skills to reach the set targets represent the key to success.
The global economic crisis has also had an impact on SAF Tehnika to some extent, and the Company had to make certain optimization activities that affected almost all employees. The workload of manufacturing department was decreased in November, 2009, instead of firing employees and without negative effect on the Company's highly skilled employees. Due to this decision the loyalty of employees was stimulated and the Company was able to resume the full‐time work instantly with the financial results improvement in April 2010.
At the beginning of the financial year 143 employees worked for SAF Tehnika. At the end of the year the number reached 150 employees, which indicates that the Company managed to surmount the crisis and was able to successfully continue growth and development of business.
This development is achievable eminently by the presence of the strong Company core which is formed by specialists and highly qualified personnel.
SAF Tehnika is particularly interested in attracting people with innovative and productive ideas, and it constantly seeks for new professionals to boost production capacity and quality. In order to attract young and talented students as potential employees, SAF Tehnika cooperates with professional schools and universities offering internship for the students. By the end of the internship period, the candidates who have demonstrated good results are offered a permanent job at the Company. The experience shows that the most effective method for providing proper education and training to required specialists is by performing these activities directly within the Company and working environment.
The business philosophy of SAF Tehnika is closely linked with the corporate values stimulating the development of the Company, enhancing its competitiveness and cultivating the internal corporate culture.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements on pages 28 to 64 of JSC SAF TEHNIKA which comprise the balance sheet as of 30 June 2010 and the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for 12 months period then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted by the Latvian Association of certified auditors. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of JSC SAF TEHNIKA as of 30 June 2010, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the 12 month period then ended in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The financial statements on pages 29 to 65 were approved by the Board.



The core business activity of SAF Tehnika JSC (hereinafter – the Company) comprises the design, production and distribution of microwave radio data transmission equipment offering an alternative to cable channels. The Company offers approximately 200 products to mobile network operators, data service providers (such as Internet service providers and telecommunications companies), as well as state and private companies.
The Company owned 100% subsidiary "SAF Tehnika Sweden" AB until November 2008 when it was sold to "SAF Tehnika Sweden" AB management.
A joint company in the Russian Federation under the name of "SAF Tehnika RUS" Ltd (САФ Техника РУС OOO) with a Russian company named "Мобильные технологии" (Mobile Technology) OOO as its co‐founder was established in the November 2008. "SAF Tehnika" A/S owned 51% of the shares of "SAF Tehnika RUS" Ltd. The decision to withdraw from a joint company in the Russian Federation was made as the subsidiary had not started its planned operations. The decision of the Board was approved by the Council on July 21, 2010.
The Company is a public joint stock company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Latvia. The address of its registered office is Ganību dambis 24a, Riga, Latvia.
The shares of the Company are listed on NASDAQ OMX Riga Stock Exchange, Latvia.
These financial statements were approved by the Board on 5 October 2010.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS as adopted by the EU). Due to the European Union's endorsement procedure, the standards and interpretations not approved for use in the European Union are presented in this note as they may have impact on financial statements of the Company in the following periods if endorsed.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those. Significant accounting estimates are described in the relevant notes to the financial statements.
Certain IFRSs became effective for the Company from 1 July 2009. Listed below are those or amended standards or interpretations which are relevant to the preparation of the Company's financial statements.
The main change in IAS 1 is the replacement of the income statement by a statement of comprehensive income which includes all non‐owner changes in equity, such as the revaluation of available‐for‐sale financial assets. Alternatively, entities are allowed to present two statements: a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The Company has elected to present a separate income statement and a statement of comprehensive income. The revised IAS 1 also introduces a requirement to present a statement of financial position (balance sheet) at the beginning of the earliest comparative period whenever the entity restates comparatives due to reclassifications, changes in accounting policies, or corrections of errors. The revised IAS 1 had an impact on the presentation of the Company's financial statements but had no impact on the recognition or measurement of specific transactions and balances.
The main change is the removal of the option of immediately recognizing as an expense borrowing costs that relate to assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that is not carried at fair value and that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale (a qualifying asset) form part of the cost of that asset, if the commencement date for capitalization is on or after 1 January 2009. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense using the effective interest method. The amendment did not have an impact on these financial statements.
The standard applies to entities whose debt or equity instruments are traded in a public market or that file, or are in the process of filing, their financial statements with a regulatory organization for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market. IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments, with segment information presented on a similar basis to that used for internal reporting purposes. The adoption of IFRS 8 has not resulted in change of the number of reportable segments presented.
The following new and amended IFRSs and interpretations became effective on 1 July 2009 or later, but are not relevant for the Company's operations and did not have an impact on these financial statements
The amendment requires classification as equity of some financial instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities.
The amendment clarified that only service conditions and performance conditions are vesting conditions. Other features of a share‐based payment are not vesting conditions. The amendment specifies that all cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment.
The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk. The entity is required to disclose an analysis of financial instruments using a three‐level fair value measurement hierarchy. The amendment (a) clarifies that the maturity analysis of liabilities should include issued financial guarantee contracts at the maximum amount of the guarantee in the earliest period in which the guarantee could be called; and (b) requires disclosure of remaining contractual maturities of financial derivatives if the contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. An entity will further have to disclose a maturity analysis of financial assets it holds for managing liquidity risk, if that information is necessary to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and extent of liquidity risk.
The amendments clarify that on reclassification of a financial asset out of the 'at fair value through profit or loss' category, all embedded derivatives have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for.
IFRIC 13 clarifies that where goods or services are sold together with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the arrangement is a multiple‐element arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the arrangement using fair values.
This interpretation provides guidance on assessing the limit in IAS 19, 'Employee benefits', on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an asset. It also explains how the pension asset or liability may be affected by a statutory or contractual minimum funding requirement.
IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009, EU endorsed from annual periods beginning on or after 31 October 2009).
The interpretation clarifies the accounting for transfers of assets from customers, namely, the circumstances in which the definition of an asset is met; the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial recognition; the identification of the separately identifiable services (one or more services in exchange for the transferred asset); the recognition of revenue, and the accounting for transfers of cash from customers.
The revised IAS 27 will require an entity to attribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non‐controlling interests (previously "minority interests") even if this results in the non‐controlling interests having a deficit balance (the current standard requires the excess losses to be allocated to the owners of the parent in most cases). The revised standard specifies that changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the loss of control must be accounted for as equity transactions. It also specifies how an entity should measure any gain or loss arising on the loss of control of a subsidiary. At the date when control is lost, any investment retained in the former subsidiary will have to be measured at its fair value.
Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate—IFRS 1 and IAS 27 Amendment, issued in May 2008 (issued in May 2008, effective from periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The amendment allows first‐time adopters of IFRS to measure investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates at fair value or at previous GAAP carrying value as deemed cost in the separate financial statements. The amendment also requires distributions from pre‐acquisition net assets of investees to be recognised in profit or loss for the year rather than as a recovery of the investment.
Eligible Hedged Items—Amendment to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective with retrospective application for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations.
IFRS 3, Business Combinations (revised January 2008; effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The revised IFRS 3 will allow entities to choose to measure non‐controlling interests using the existing IFRS 3 method (proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets) or at fair value. The revised IFRS 3 is more detailed in providing guidance on the application of the purchase method to business combinations. The requirement to measure at fair value every asset and liability at each step in a step acquisition for the purposes of calculating a portion of goodwill has been removed. Instead, in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer will have to remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition‐date fair value and recognize the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss for the year. Acquisition‐related costs will be accounted for separately from the business combination and therefore recognised as expenses rather than included in goodwill. An acquirer will have to recognize at the acquisition date a liability for any contingent purchase consideration. Changes in the value of that liability after the acquisition date will be recognised in accordance with other applicable IFRSs, as appropriate, rather than by adjusting goodwill. The revised IFRS 3 brings into its scope business combinations involving only mutual entities and business combinations achieved by contract alone.
IFRIC 12, 'Service concession arrangements' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 30 March 2009 for companies that prepare financial statements based on the IFRS as adopted by the EU).
This interpretation applies to contractual arrangements whereby a private sector operator participates in the development financing, operation and maintenance of infrastructure for public sector services, for example, under private finance initiative contracts (PFI) contracts. Under these arrangements, assets are assessed as either intangible assets or finance receivables.
IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non‐Cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The interpretation clarifies when and how distribution of non‐cash assets as dividends to the owners should be recognised. An entity should measure a liability to distribute non‐cash assets as a dividend to its owners at the fair value of the assets to be distributed. A gain or loss on disposal of the distributed non‐cash assets will be recognised in profit or loss for the year when the entity settles the dividend payable.
Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in May 2008).
In 2008, the International Accounting Standards Board decided to initiate an annual improvements project as a method of making necessary, but non‐urgent, amendments to IFRS. The amendments consist of a mixture of substantive changes, clarifications, and changes in terminology in various standards. The substantive changes relate to the following areas: classification as held for sale under IFRS 5 in case of a loss of control over a subsidiary; possibility of presentation of financial instruments held for trading as non‐current under IAS 1; accounting for sale of IAS 16 assets which were previously held for rental and classification of the related cash flows under IAS 7 as cash flows from operating activities; clarification of definition of a curtailment under IAS 19; accounting for below market interest rate government loans in accordance with IAS 20; making the definition of borrowing costs in IAS 23 consistent with the effective interest method; clarification of accounting for subsidiaries held for sale under IAS 27 and IFRS 5; reduction in the disclosure requirements relating to associates and joint ventures under IAS 28 and IAS 31; enhancement of disclosures required by IAS 36; clarification of accounting for advertising costs under IAS 38; amending the definition of the fair value through profit or loss category to be consistent with hedge accounting under IAS 39; introduction of accounting for investment properties under construction in accordance with IAS 40; and reduction in restrictions over manner of determining fair value of biological assets under IAS 41. Further amendments made to IAS 8, 10, 18, 20, 29, 34, 40, 41 and to IFRS 7 represent terminology or editorial changes only, which the IASB believes have no or minimal effect on accounting.
Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (issued in April 2009; amendments to IFRS 2, IAS 38, IFRIC 9 and IFRIC 16 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The improvements consist of a mixture of substantive changes and clarifications in the following standards and interpretations:
Certain new standards and interpretations have been published that are mandatory for the Company's accounting periods beginning after 1 July 2009 or later periods and which the Company has not chosen for early adoption.
Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (amendments to IFRS 5, IFRS 8, IAS 1, IAS 7, IAS 17, IAS 36 and IAS 39 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010, EU endorsed from annual periods beginning on or after March 2010).
The improvements consist of a mixture of substantive changes and clarifications in the following standards and interpretations:
Certain new standards and interpretations have been published that become effective for this accounting periods beginning after 1 July 2009 or later periods which are not relevant to the Company or are not yet endorsed by EU.
Group Cash‐settled Share‐based Payment Transactions ‐ Amendments to IFRS 2, Share‐based Payment (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010, EU endorsed from annual periods beginning on or after March 2010).
The amendments provide a clear basis to determine the classification of share‐based payment awards in both consolidated and separate financial statements. The amendments incorporate into the standard the guidance in IFRIC 8 and IFRIC 11, which are withdrawn.
Eligible Hedged Items—Amendment to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective with retrospective application for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations.
Amendment to IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures (issued in November 2009 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011).
IAS 24 was revised in 2009 by: (a) simplifying the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies; and by (b) providing a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government‐ related entities.
Classification of Rights Issues ‐ Amendment to IAS 32 (issued 8 October 2009; effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010).
The amendment exempts certain rights issues of shares with proceeds denominated in foreign currencies from classification as financial derivatives. The Company is currently assessing what impact this interpretation will have on the financial statements.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments Part 1: Classification and Measurement IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and replaces those parts of IAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets.
The standard requires that financial assets are classified into two measurement categories: those to be measured at fair value, and those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. While adoption of IFRS 9 is mandatory from 1 January 2013, earlier adoption is permitted.
.
IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (effective 1 January 2009, but EU endorsed for use 1 January 2010).
The interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors, and provides guidance for determining whether agreements for the construction of real estate are within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. It also provides criteria for determining when entities should recognise revenue on such transactions.
The interpretation explains which currency risk exposures are eligible for hedge accounting and states that translation from the functional currency to the presentation currency does not create an exposure to which hedge accounting could be applied. The IFRIC allows the hedging instrument to be held by any entity or entities within a group except the foreign operation that itself is being hedged. The interpretation also clarifies how the currency translation gain or loss reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit or loss is calculated on disposal of the hedged foreign operation. Reporting entities apply IAS 39 to discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when their hedges do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting in IFRIC 16.
This amendment will have a limited impact as it applies only to companies that are required to make minimum funding contributions to a defined benefit pension plan.
This interpretation clarifies the accounting when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt with the result that the liability is extinguished through the debtor issuing its own equity instruments to the creditor. A gain or loss is recognised in the profit and loss account based on the fair value of the equity instruments compared to the carrying amount of the debt.
Additional Exemptions for First‐time Adopters ‐ Amendments to IFRS 1, First‐time Adoption of IFRS (not yet endorsed by EU). The amendments exempt entities using the full cost method from retrospective application of IFRSs for oil and gas assets and also exempt entities with existing leasing contracts from reassessing the classification of those contracts in accordance with IFRIC 4, 'Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease' when the application of their national accounting requirements produced the same result.
Many of the principles of full IFRS for recognising and measuring assets, liabilities, income and expense have been simplified, and the number of required disclosures have been simplified and significantly reduced.
The adoption of the above Standards and Interpretations did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in lats (LVL), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. According to the requirements of Riga Stock Exchange, all balances are also stated in euros (EUR). For disclosure purposes, the currency translation has been performed by applying the official currency exchange rate determined by the Bank of Latvia (BOL), i.e. EUR 1 = LVL 0.702804.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year‐end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. The following BOL Exchange rates were effective as at balance sheet dates:
| 30.06.2010. | 30.06.2009. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| LVL | LVL | ||
| 1 USD | 0.573000 | 0.501000 | |
| 1 EUR | 0.702804 | 0.702804 |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such plant and equipment if the asset recognition criteria are met.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Current repairs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets to allocate their cost less the estimated residual values by applying the following depreciation rates:
| % per annum | |
|---|---|
| Mobile phones | 50 |
| Technological equipment | 33.33 |
| Transport vehicles | 20 |
| Other fixtures and fittings | 25 |
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight‐line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of leasehold improvement and the term of lease.
The assets residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year‐ end. 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 F).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the respective carrying amount and included in the income statement.

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.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the purchase and installation costs. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of three years.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. An intangible asset arising from the development expenditure on an individual project is recognized only when the 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, 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 any accumulated impairment losses. Any expenditure capitalized is amortized over the period of the expected future sales from the related project.
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. Assets that are subject to amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less selling costs and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows (cash‐generating units).
A geographical segment provides products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and benefits different from those of components operating in other economic environments. A business segment is a group of assets and operations providing products or services that are subject to risks and benefits different from those of other business segments.
Government grants are recognized where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a deferred income account and is released to the income statement over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is stated on a first‐in, first‐out (FIFO) basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of finished goods and work‐in‐progress include cost of materials.
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Allowance for impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the full amount due according to the original terms. The amount of the allowance is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. Change in allowance is recognised in the income statement.
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.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged against the share premium account.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company is entitled to postpone the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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, nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized 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 utilized.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The 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 Company will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the statutory fund cannot settle their liabilities towards the employees. The cost of these payments is included into the income statement in the same period as the related salary cost.
Revenue comprises the fair value of the goods and services sold, net of value‐added tax and discounts. Revenue is recognised as follows:
(a) Sale of goods
Sale of goods is recognised when a Company entity 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 Company
(b) Rendering of services
Revenue is recognised in the period when the services are rendered.
Leases of property, plant and equipment in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight‐line basis over the lease period.
Dividends payable to the Company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.
The Company does not prepare consolidate accounts for the year ended 30 June 2010, as its subsidiary is dormant. There have been no actual investments in the operations of the subsidiary and the Board of the Company has taken the decision to dispose of the investment (See Note 7). The last set of consolidated accounts was prepared for the year ended 30 June 2009, which was the period when disposal of the subsidiary SAF Tehnika Sweden AB was completed.
At the date of authorization of these financial statements the following Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective:
• IAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). According to this amendment borrowing costs, that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and production of a qualifying asset, should form part of the cost of that asset;

The Company anticipates that adoptions of the above Standards and Interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:
The Company's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise its potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
The responsibility for risk management lies with the Finance Department. The Finance Department identifies and evaluates risks and seeks for solutions to avoid financial risks in close co‐operation with other operating units of the Company.
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk mainly arising from U.S. dollar fluctuations.
Foreign currency risk primarily arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets – cash and trade receivables and liabilities – accounts payables and borrowings. To manage the foreign currency risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Company uses forward foreign currency contracts. The foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency different from the entity's functional currency. The Finance Department analyses the net open position in each foreign currency. The Company might decide to enter to forward foreign currency contracts or to maintain borrowings (in form of credit line) in appropriate currency and amount.
The following schedule summarizes net open positions for currencies other than LVL as at balance sheet date:
| 30/06/2010 USD expressed in LVL |
30/06/2009 USD expressed in LVL |
30/06/2010 EUR expressed in LVL |

The Company has significant exposure of credit risk with its customers. The Company'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. Customers' financial position is monitored on regular bases and assigned credit limits has been changed based on credit history and customer's paying behaviour.
As at 30 June 2010, the Company's credit risk exposure to a single customer amounted to 15.11 % of the total short and long‐term receivables (30.06.2009: 17.00%). With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and derivatives, the Company'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 Company's maximum credit risk exposure amounts to LVL 7 272 428 or 71.62% to total assets (30.06.2009: LVL 4 263 696 or 55.71% to total assets).
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through short‐ term borrowings secured by the Letters of Credit terms. Due to the dynamic nature of the core operations, the Finance Department aims to maintain flexibility in funding by obtaining available credit lines. During the reporting period 1 million EUR multi‐currency credit line was assigned by Nordea bank Finland plc Latvia branch. The assigned credit line facility has not been used for last 2 years. Evaluating available funds, current and future cash flow it was decided not to prolong credit line agreement starting from April, 2010. (see Note 16 Borrowings).
As the Company does not have significant interest bearing assets, the Company's income and cash flows are largely independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company's cash flows from interest bearing liabilities are dependent on current market interest rates.
The Company 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 remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains 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.
The fair value of forward currency contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.
The carrying amounts of all financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company 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 of the Company 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:
| 30/06/2010 LVL |
30/06/2009 LVL |
30/06/2010 EUR |
30/06/2009 EUR |

| Net debt to equity ratio | 4% | ‐20% | 4% | ‐20% |
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and the legislation of the Republic of Latvia require that in preparing the financial statements, the management of the Company make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of off‐balance sheet assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following are the critical judgements and key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
