Management Report

The Company's non-audited net sales kept an upward trend. Sales for the fourth quarter of financial year 2009/10 were 3 739 199 LVL (5 320 401 EUR), representing an 89% increase compared with the fourth quarter of the previous financial year. This was the best quarterly sales result not only in financial year 2009/10, but the best in the last three financial years.

Starting from the beginning of calendar 2010 the Company's sales organization is arranged into 3 regions – Americas, Europe plus CIS, and the third – Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. Each has similar business potential and distinctive regional characteristics.

Sales in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa represented the largest part of the 4th quarter's turnover (55%). Sales rose there by 165% or 1.26 million LVL (1.81 million EUR) compared with the same quarter of the previous corresponding period. The largest contribution came from a large project for an Indian client and sales in Africa. Sales volumes in the Americas have increased by 81% due to sales increases both in North America and Latin America and formed 18% of total sales in the reporting quarter. Sales in Europe and CIS represented 27% of quarterly sales and were by 23% larger than in the 4th quarter of the previous financial year as sales to the CIS re-commenced. So as to strengthen SAF's brand, the latest products - CFIP Lumina FODU and CFIP PhoeniX Split Mount system were exhibited at the SviazExpo Comm 2010, Moscow, Russia, in May. This is the largest and most prestigious B2B exhibition and conference for Russia and the CIS countries. The decision to withdraw from a joint company in the Russian Federation under the name of SAF Tehnika RUS Ltd (SAF Tehnika Rus OOO) was made as the subsidiary had not started its planned operations.

Chart 1. Quarter 4 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Company's products were sold in 56 countries during the reporting quarter, but 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 non-audited net sales for the 12 months of financial year 2009/10 were 10 226 905 LVL (14 551 575 EUR) representing a 16% increase compared with the 12 months of financial year 2008/09. The best sales results were reached in the Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East region where 88% y-o-y growth was reached, amounting to LVL 5.9 million (EUR 8.48 million) in the 12 months of FY 2009/10 and a 33% increase was recorded in the Americas. Sales in Europe and the CIS region were substantially (by 43%) lower than in the previous financial year. This was mostly impacted by very low sales in the CIS.

Chart 2. 12 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:

Although a sharp decrease in older CFM product interest was expected in 2009/10, there are still regions where CFM products are in demand, keeping sales volumes high. Sales of CFQ products are decreasing although in the fourth quarter were somewhat at the same level as in Q4 2008/09. The highest demand is for the new CFIP products. The number of CFIP products sold is more than 3 times more in comparison with the 12 months period of 2008/9.

Chart 3. Quarter 4 and 12 month product sales breakdown.

The net profit of the Company for the fourth quarter of financial year 2009/10 was 1 234 016 LVL (1 755 848 EUR). The net profit of the Company for the 12 month period of the financial year 2009/10 was 1 476 521 LVL (2 100 900 EUR) which is by 2.71 million LVL (3.86 million EUR) better than the result for the 12 months of the financial year 2008/09. This is a great result and proves that the Company's strategy towards development of a new CF IP 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.

Market overview

Calendar year 2010 finally comes with extensive 3G technology deployment over the world, which is driven by growing demand for high capacity data traffic and increasing demand for Point to Point microwave radio equipment. After the recent 3G and Wimax licence auctions in India it will be again be the main market for telecom infrastructure modernisation and deployment. After a slow down in 2009 the telecom market is recovering very quickly, creating holes in the supply chain due to unexpectedly high demand. Creating technology more accessible has led to growing sales volumes in the microwave radio market. As a result more new players are entering the market. Competition in this segment is growing while major volume is divided between the existing market leaders. As exception we see is that Motorola has left this segment. From a technology perspective we see that sales volumes have finally shifted to high capacity radio, which now takes up more than half of the total market volume.

Guidance

SAF Tehnika continues to pursue its established course, taking into account its stable financial position, control over the production process and CFIP product development. The core focus is the full introduction of an extensive CFIP product line and development of customertailored solutions. The main targets for the company in the coming years are 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 towards sales figures despite outstanding results of the reporting financial year.

The Company's net cash flow for the 12 month period of the financial year was a positive 66 869 LVL (95 146 EUR). Moreover 1 659 889 LVL (2 361 809 EUR) were kept in bank deposits (deposit period more than 90 days), recorded as short-term investment in the balance. 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 683 141 in December 2009. This was on account of surplus funds and favourable taxation conditions at the time. The Company carried a net cash balance (excluding interest bearing liabilities) of 2 407 506 LVL (3 425 572 EUR) as at June 30, 2010. On June 30, 2010 the Company employed 146 people. (143 people on June 30, 2009).

Note 10 Segment information

a) The Group's operations may currently be divided into two major structural units by product type – CFM (PDH) and CFQ (SDH) product lines. The new CFIP products belong to the CFM product type (super PDH). The structural units are used as a basis for providing information about the primary segments of the Group, i.e. business segments. Production, as well as research and development are organised and managed for each product line (CFM, CFQ) separately.

The CFM product line, or plesiochronous digital hierarchy radio equipment, is offered as a digital microwave radio communications system operating over 7, 8, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26, and 38 GHz frequency bands, as well as ensuring wireless point-to-point channels for digitalised voice and data transmission. CFM is available with 4, 8, 16, or 34 Mbps full-duplex data transmission rate.

CFIP radio is capable to provide up to 108Mbps of bit rate to all interfaces combined. This product family provides a perfect solution for a user looking for higher than PDH E3 capacity without need for STM-1 capacity. Apart from the full system capacity of 108Mbps, it is possible to configure the radio to any of 7 MHz, 14 MHz and 28MHz channel bandwidths.

The CFQ product line, or synchronous digital hierarchy radio equipment, is a digital point-to-point radio system providing high capacity (up to 155 Mbps) data transmission over frequency bands from 7 to 38 GHz. The product is generally exported to developed European countries where the demand for high capacity data transmission possibilities dominates.

This note provides information about division of the Group's turnover and balance items by structural units by product type for 12 month of the financial year 2009/10 and financial year 2008/09.
