Aira Loite CFO, Member of the Management Board
The Company's non-audited net sales for the second quarter of financial year 2009/10 were 2 066 500 LVL (2 940 365 EUR), representing 90% of the second quarter of the previous financial year.
Sales in Africa represented the largest part of 2nd quarter's turnover (47%). Sales there rose by 78% or 0.43 million LVL (0.61 million EUR) compared with the same quarter of last financial year. The first turn-key projects were successfully completed in this region. Sales in Europe were at the same level on a year-on-year basis, comprising 24% of quarterly sales. Sales volumes in the Americas for the reporting quarter increased by 86% as continuous sales endeavors in North America brought results and new CFIP products were in demand. Although some projects were postponed for Asian clients, sales results in this region were by 0,11 million LVL (0,16 million EUR) better than in the 2nd quarter of the previous financial year. The largest negative revenue impact was from sales in the CIS – a decrease of 98% or by 0,75 million LVL (1,07 million EUR). This region could become more active in the spring of 2010.
In order to meet current and prospective clients, as well as demonstrate the Company's products, SAF Tehnika participated in the regional exhibition "AfricaCom 2009", which took place in Cape Town, South Africa in November 2009. The greatest interest was noted in one of the Company's latest products - CFIP Lumina FODU. Participation was co-funded by the European Regional Development fund.
Chart 1. Quarter 2 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Company's products were sold in 52 countries during the reporting quarter. The number of customers is increasing although average order amounts are smaller showing lack of free resources for investments.
The Company's non-audited net sales for the 6 months of financial year 2009/10 were 3716 966 LVL (5 288 766 EUR) representing a year-on-year revenue decrease of 20%. Africa formed the largest sales portion (34%) comprising 1.22 million LVL (1.73 million EUR). Sales numbers were on an equal level in Asia and Europe – 0.7 million LVL (1 million EUR), although it was a 44% decrease in sales for Europe, but 4 times more for the Asia region on a year-on-year basis. The greatest part of Asian turnover formed deliveries to India in the first quarter of the current financial year. Sales to the CIS decreased by 1.3 million LVL (1.86 million EUR).

Chart 2. 6 months revenue breakdown comparative charts:
The number of CFM and CFQ products sold has decreased substantially. New CFIP products – such as newly introduced CFIP Phoenix, split mount solution, are planned to replace CFM products. The number of CFIP products sold is increasing each quarter and is 88% higher in comparison with the 2nd quarter of the previous financial year.

Chart 3. Quarter 2 and 6 month product sales breakdown.
The net loss of the Company for the second quarter of financial year 2009/10 was 181 388 LVL (258 090 EUR). The net loss of the Company for the 6 months of financial year 2009/10 was 365 022 LVL (519 380 EUR). The net loss mainly reflects lower sales and falling margins due to increasing competition and a lack of funding for investments for SAF Tehnika's clients.
There was no significant change observed during last three months of 2009 in comparison with the first quarter of financial year 2009/10 in the Point to Point (P2P) wireless radio market in which SAF Tehnika operates. Access to financial resources is still very limited and it is one of main constraints for customers in order to start new network development projects. Manufacturers at all levels struggle to maintain the planned revenue and production levels by offering very aggressive pricing and in addition are forced to offer different (further extended) financing schemes for customers. Clients from developing countries give preference to turnkey network development solutions expecting from a provider not only delivery of equipment, but also installation and commissioning services. SAF Tehnika has existing partners for such solutions in selected areas and is working on developing such co-operation further.
SAF Tehnika is closely following market trends and new products for the CFIP product line are developed according to customer needs. The Company is flexible at adapting to the changing environment, keeps ongoing production costs low and maintains an efficient operations strategy. Even taking into account the existing results, the company continues to be financially stable. The management is shifting the company's strategy towards delivering more specialized niche products and looking for cooperation partners and new collaboration forms with vendors who could supplement the current offering to the company's clients. The focus is the full introduction of an extensive CFIP product line and development of customer tailored solutions. The main goal is to make the company's business profitable again.
The Company's net cash flow for the 6 month period of the financial year was a negative -198 871 LVL (-282 968 EUR), but was positive at the operating level. The Company paid dividends of LVL 0.23 (twenty three santims) per share or, LVL 683 141 in December 2009. The Company carried a net cash balance (excluding interest bearing liabilities) of 2 146 028 LVL (3 053 523 EUR) as at December 31, 2009.
On December 31, 2009 the Company employed 134 people. (144 people on December 31, 2008).

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