Aira Loite CFO, Member of the Management Board
The Company's non-audited net sales for the third quarter of financial year 2009/10 were 2 770 740 LVL (3 942 408 EUR), representing a 27% increase compared with the third quarter of the previous financial year and reaching the highest quarterly sales result during the last 7 quarters.
Starting from the beginning of 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 Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa represented the largest part of 3nd quarter's turnover (66%). Sales rose there by 68% or 0.74 million LVL (1.05 million EUR) compared with the same quarter of the previous corresponding period. Sales in Europe and CIS formed 17% of quarterly sales, but were 22% lower than in the 3nd quarter of the previous financial year, which was mainly impacted by ongoing small sales in the CIS. That said, activity has moved ahead from the low point in 2009. Sales volumes in the Americas for the reporting quarter were somewhat less than sales in Europe and CIS, although at the same level on a year-on-year basis and formed the remaining 17% out of total sales in the reporting quarter.
In order to meet current and prospective clients, as well as demonstrate the Company's position as a valued representative of the microwave equipment industry, SAF Tehnika SAF exhibited at CeBIT 2010 which took place in Hannover, Germany from 2nd to 6th of March. Prospective customers showed the most interest in SAF's latest products - CFIP Lumina FODU and CFIP PhoeniX Split Mount system. Participation was co-funded by the European Regional Development fund.

Chart 1. Quarter 3 revenue breakdown comparative charts:
The Company's products were sold in 54 countries during the reporting quarter. The Company has earned customers' confidence and ever larger project supplies have been awarded to SAF Tehnika. In order to satisfy demand for extended payment terms, the Company's offers are supported by Latvian State Export Guarantees.
The Company's non-audited net sales for the 9 months of financial year 2009/10 were 6 487 706 LVL (9 231 174 EUR) representing 95% of the 9 months of financial year 2008/09. Although sales in the Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East have increased by 63% amounting to LVL 3.9 million (EUR 5.6 million) in the 9 months of FY 2009/10 it covers only partially the decrease in sales volumes in Europe and the CIS region. 15% y-o-y growth was reached in the Americas showing growth in both Latin America and North America.
Chart 2. 9 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The number of CFIP products sold is increasing each quarter and is 3 times more in comparison with the 3nd quarter of the previous financial year. The number of CFM and CFQ products sold continues to decrease although there is still high demand in some countries.


Sales results due to extensive sales force endeavors in all regions promoting SAF's products, an increase in demand for CFIP products, cost savings in the production process and operations resulted in an outstanding net result in the third quarter and for 9 months of 2009/10 financial year.
The net profit of the Company for the third quarter of financial year 2009/10 was 607 527 LVL (864 434 EUR). The net profit of the Company for the 9 months of financial year 2009/10 was 242 505 LVL (345 054 EUR) which is by 1.2 million LVL (1. 7 million EUR) better than the result for the 9 months of financial year 2008/09.
After an outstanding telecom sector slowdown during 2009, the market is recovering in 2010, showing double digit growth in companies' involved in the Point to Point (P2P) wireless radio market in which SAF Tehnika operates. General competition in next generation mobile data connectivity has commenced worldwide. Based on product cost advantages and financing capacities offered by government, the manufacturers from China will continue having an advantage over other players from Europe and the US. Furthermore, most of the latter have already moved production to Asia. Features of the existing situation (common to many industrial sectors) are constraints in component supplies and manufacturing capacities, which were significantly lowered during 2009.
In such a changing environment SAF Tehnika has excellent potential to position itself: first of all SAF Tehnika is financially very stable, giving management greater choice to elaborate its chosen strategy. Second - all production is managed by the Company itself giving flexibility and higher quality control compared with other parties. Third – the new product line (CFIP) contains the latest market technologies. In such a situation the right company strategy and implementation can take the company to the next level of development. The focus is the full introduction of an extensive CFIP product line and development of customer tailored solutions. The Company's target is to close 2009/10 financial year with a positive net result.
The Company's net cash flow for the 9 month period of the financial year was a positive 516 437 LVL (734 824 EUR). The cash flow in financing activities was negative due to paid dividends of LVL 0.23 (twenty three santims) per share or, LVL 683 141 in December 2009 due to surplus funds and favorable taxation conditions at the time. The Company carried a net cash balance (excluding interest bearing liabilities) of 2 858 147LVL (4 066 777 EUR) as at March 31, 2010.
On March 31, 2010 the Company employed 137 people. (144 people on March 31, 2009).

Inventories in comparison with March 31 of the previous financial year 2008/09 decreased by 20%. The amount of allowances for slow-moving items has increased as the Company keeps components for all types of products sold in order to provide repair services and to produce older design products still in demand. Current stock levels are deemed appropriate for present production volumes, but as delivery time for components are observed to lengthen the Company is considering an inventory increase in order to ensure committed production times.

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 9 month of the financial year 2009/10 and financial year 2008/09.

Expense reclassification is introduced in this report.
