Report of the Board

Type of activity

SAF Tehnika (the "Company") is a designer, producer and distributor of wireless microwave data transmission equipment. The Company offers comprehensive and cost-effective hybrid 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.

Activity of the Company in the reporting year

The Company's net sales for the financial year 2010/2011 were LVL 10.9 million (EUR 15.5 million) representing a 7% increase compared with the previous financial year's net sales. The aggregate exports for the reporting period was LVL 10.51 million (EUR 14.96 million) comprising 96.51% from total net sales. The Company exported its products to 76 countries all over the world, and 4 out of 76 were new markets.

Sales in Pacific Asia, Africa, Middle East represented the largest part of annual year's turnover (37%) comprising LVL 4.05 million (EUR 5.76 million) although it was 32% less than previous financial year 2009/2010. Sales have increased year-on-year both in Americas, Europe and CIS regions. There was 68% sales increase in Americas reaching 3 million LVL (4.3 million EUR) and 55% increase was recorded for Europe, CIS amounting to 3.8 million LVL (5.5 million EUR).

SAF Tehnika had been successful in replacing region-based sales approach with country-based business operations which were adapted according to specific character of business environment in target countries. In order to strengthen presence in the strategic growth markets, opening of local offices was considered and the first joint venture SAF Tehnika Middle East Ltd., founded together with NAJAHAT Development & Investment Company (Saudi Arabia), has recently started its operations.

Another strategic decision was to start production of CFIP Lumina outside Latvia in Curitiba (Brazil) with the aim to facilitate the Company's product availability in Brazil, one of the largest and fastest growing telecommunication markets in South America. Full Outdoor Technology developed by SAF engineers has been especially tailored for manufacturing purposes at the SIEMENS Communications factory in Brazil and local partner wi2be Tecnologia S.A. will take care of sales and marketing activities as well as distribution and local support. The CFIP Lumina inauguration event with attendance of Vice President of Brazil and the Prime Minister of Latvia has helped to raise the Company's visibility in Latvia as well as build and reinforce brand recognition in South America. It is planned that mass production of CFIP Lumina will be commenced in autumn, 2011.

In order to strengthen SAF brand internationally, meet current and potential clients and exhibit the latest products and solutions, the Company participated in several important international and regional exhibitions such as NigeriaCom 2010 (Lagos, Nigeria), AfricaCom 2010 (Cape Town, Republic of South Africa), CeBIT 2011 (Hannover, Germany), SVIAZ-ExpoComm 2011 (Moscow, Russia) and CommunicAsia 2011 (Singapore). During this financial year the Company also started to focus on smaller local exhibitions and conferences participating together with local partners.

As earnings in the first three quarters of the financial year had exceeded the targets, SAF Tehnika had paid out the bonuses to employees, thus appraising their input. Sales in the fourth quarter dropped substantially as various long-term projects were finalized in the third quarter and there were no similar scale projects in Q4. Moreover, net result was impacted by substantial provisions made for doubtful accounts receivables as payment delays for two Africa customers outrun accepted delay limits. Representatives of both customers explained delays with temporal liquidity problems.

Net profit of the Company for the financial year 2010/2011 was LVL 801 thousand (EUR 1.14 million) representing 52% of the net profit of previous financial year 2009/2010.

Report of the Board (continued)

Activity of the Company in the reporting year (continued)

SAF Tehnika's financial position remains stable. Although, the Company's net cash flow for the 12 month period of the financial year was negative LVL -307 thousand (EUR 436 thousand), cash generated from operating and investing activities was positive. A negative cash flow from financing activities was due to the payment of dividends of LVL 0.23 (twenty three santimes) per share or, LVL 683 thousand in November 2010.

During the reporting year the Company had invested LVL 171 thousand (EUR 244 thousand) where the largest part - LVL 118 thousand (EUR 169 thousand) or 69% were invested in production equipment and IT infrastructure thus improving production capacity, quality and the Company's overall efficiency, but 25% or LVL 43 thousand (EUR 61 thousand) were invested in product certification.

Moreover, the Company was supported by Latvia State and European Regional Development fund as during reporting year co-financing amounting to LVL 106 thousand (EUR 151 thousand) was granted for purchase of production equipment, support for product development and participation in international exhibitions.

Research and development

During the reporting financial year new products like low frequency point-to-point microwave system CFIP Marathon, unlicensed All Outdoor radio SAF FreeMile and new modular split mount system CFIP PhoeniX M were launched by the Company. CFIP Marathon 1.4 GHz Full Indoor unit is an ideal solution for industrial applications while SAF FreeMile is unlicensed All Outdoor radio for Ethernet packet data and E1 voice transmission. The new modular split mount system CFIP PhoeniX M due to the XPIC technology and built-in add-drop functionality is the best solution for high-capacity data, voice and video transmission - mobile and fixed telecoms as well as for all ISPs.

With the aim to attract EU funds for research and development within the sphere of electronics and electrical engineering, the Company, together with other members of the Latvian Electrical Engineering and electronic Industry Association (LETERA), co-founded a limited liability company "LEO kompetences centrs"(LEO) in summer 2010. The expected co financing was granted by Europe Regional and Development Fund in late spring 2011 and already in June 2011 two research projects initiated by the Company has started. We see LEO as an valuable complementary resource for industrial research, new product and technology development.

The Company has recently completed a long-term product development strategy as well and is going to introduce new products in licensed and non-licensed frequencies. .

As demand for CFQ products has decreased substantially, it has been decided to phase out the entire CFQ product line, providing the CFQ basic functionality with CFIP PhoeniX M split mount system. The clients' requirements will be covered by full spectrum of CFIP and CFM products.

Report of the Board (continued)

Future prospects

SAF Tehnika`s resources are strongly focused on product development in Hybrid Microwave field, product quality, client satisfaction and improvement of management processes in that way building a platform for sustainable revenue growth, efficiency and profitability. Diversified sales strategies will be a competitive advantage in attracting new clients and satisfying existing ones.

The Company is planning to penetrate new markets using niche products and individual sales approach, providing more specialized services in cooperation with local partners. In order to establish presence in regions and run the local business activities more efficiently opening of local offices is under consideration.

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.

Distribution of profit proposed by the Board

The Board is proposing to retain 15% of current year's profits in order to preserve the Company's financial stability and to pay out remaining 85% as dividends.

"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. In August 2010 the company was liquidated.

With the aim to attract EU funds for research and development within the sphere of electronics and electrical engineering, the Company, together with other members of the Latvian Electrical Engineering and Electronic Industry Association (LETERA), co-founded a limited liability company "LEO pētījumu centrs" (LEO) investing 500 LVL (711 EUR) in its equity capital and becoming the owner of 10% of its share capital.

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 26 October 2011.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

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.

A Basis of preparation

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. In cases reclassification not affecting the equity and results of prior periods is performed, the reclassified items are duly disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

A Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Certain IFRSs became effective for the Company from 1 July 2010. Listed below are those or amended standards or interpretations which are relevant to the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 June 2011.

Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions - Amendments to IFRS 2, Sharebased 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.

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.

IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective 1 October 2008, but EU endorsed for use periods beginning or after 1 July 2010).

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.

Amendment to IFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (and consequential amendments to IFRS 1) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The amendment clarifies that an entity committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary would classify the subsidiary's assets and liabilities as held for sale. The revised guidance should be applied prospectively from the date at which the entity first applied IFRS 5.

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 1, First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, revised in December 2008 (effective for the first IFRS financial statements for a period beginning on or after 1 July 2009; restructured IFRS 1 as adopted by the EU is effective for annual periods beginning after 31 December 2009). The revised IFRS 1 retains the substance of its previous version but within a changed structure in order to make it easier for the reader to understand and to better accommodate future changes.

A Basis of preparation (cont'd)

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.

IFRIC 19, Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010).

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.

Limited exemption from comparative IFRS 7 disclosures for first-time adopters - Amendment to IFRS 1 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). Existing IFRS preparers were granted relief from presenting comparative information for the new disclosures required by the March 2009 amendments to IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures'. This amendment to IFRS 1 provides first-time adopters with the same transition provisions as included in the amendment to IFRS 7.

The International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (issued in July 2009) is a self-contained standard, tailored to the needs and capabilities of smaller businesses.

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.

Certain new standards and interpretations have been published that become effective for this accounting periods beginning after 1 July 2011for which the Company has not chosen to apply early adoption and thus have no effect on these financial statements.

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 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013; not yet adopted by the EU). IFRS 9 issued in November 2009 replaces those parts of IAS 39 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 was further amended in October 2010 to address the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. Key features are as follows:

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

A Basis of preparation (cont'd)

  • Financial assets are required to be classified into two measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost. The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.
  • An instrument is subsequently measured at amortised cost only if it is a debt instrument and both (i) the objective of the entity's business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows, and (ii) the asset's contractual cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest (that is, it has only "basic loan features"). All other debt instruments are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.
  • All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial recognition, to recognise unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. There is to be no recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as long as they represent a return on investment.
  • Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.

Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement – Amendment to IFRIC 14 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011). 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. It removes an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14 related to voluntary pension prepayments when there is a minimum funding requirement.

Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards, issued in May 2010 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011; not yet adopted by the EU). The improvements consist of a mixture of substantive changes and clarifications in the following standards and interpretations: IFRS 1 was amended (i) to allow previous GAAP carrying value to be used as deemed cost of an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset if that item was used in operations subject to rate regulation, (ii) to allow an event driven revaluation to be used as deemed cost of property, plant and equipment even if the revaluation occurs during a period covered by the first IFRS financial statements and (iii) to require a first-time adopter to explain changes in accounting policies or in the IFRS 1 exemptions between its first IFRS interim report and its first IFRS financial statements; IFRS 3 was amended (i) to require measurement at fair value (unless another measurement basis is required by other IFRS standards) of noncontrolling interests that are not present ownership interest or do not entitle the holder to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation, (ii) to provide guidance on acquiree's share-based payment arrangements that were not replaced or were voluntarily replaced as a result of a business combination and (iii) to clarify that the contingent considerations from business combinations that occurred before the effective date of revised IFRS 3 (issued in January 2008) will be accounted for in accordance with the guidance in the previous version of IFRS 3; IFRS 7 was amended to clarify certain disclosure requirements, in particular (i) by adding an explicit emphasis on the interaction between qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature and extent of financial risks, (ii) by removing the requirement to disclose carrying amount of renegotiated financial assets that would otherwise be past due or impaired, (iii) by replacing the requirement to disclose fair value of collateral by a more general requirement to disclose its financial effect, and (iv) by clarifying that an entity should disclose the amount of foreclosed collateral held at the reporting date and not the amount obtained during the reporting period; IAS 1 was amended to clarify that the components of the statement of changes in equity include profit or loss, other comprehensive income, total comprehensive income and transactions

with owners and that an analysis of other comprehensive income by item may be presented in the notes; IAS 27 was amended by clarifying the transition rules for amendments to IAS 21, 28 and 31 made by the revised IAS 27 (as amended in January 2008); IAS 34 was amended to add additional examples of significant events and transactions requiring disclosure in a condensed interim financial report, including transfers between the levels of fair value hierarchy, changes in classification of financial assets or changes in business or economic environment that affect the fair values of the entity's financial instruments; and IFRIC 13 was amended to clarify measurement of fair value of award credits.

Disclosures—Transfers of Financial Assets – Amendments to IFRS 7 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). The amendment requires additional disclosures in respect of risk exposures arising from transferred financial assets. The amendment includes a requirement to disclose by class of asset the nature, carrying amount and a description of the risks and rewards of financial assets that have been transferred to another party yet remain on the entity's balance sheet. Disclosures are also required to enable a user to understand the amount of any associated liabilities, and the relationship between the financial assets and associated liabilities. Where financial assets have been derecognised but the entity is still exposed to certain risks and rewards associated with the transferred asset, additional disclosure is required to enable the effects of those risks to be understood.

Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets – Amendment to IAS 12 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012; not yet adopted by the EU). The amendment introduces an exception to the existing principle for the measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on investment property measured at fair value.

Severe hyperinflation and removal of fixed dates for first-time adopters – Amendment to IFRS 1 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011; not yet adopted by the EU). The amendments will provide relief for first-time adopters of IFRSs from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of transition to IFRSs, and guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resume presenting IFRS financial statements or to present IFRS financial statements for the first time.

The adoption of the above Standards and Interpretations did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.

B Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

B Foreign currency translation (cont'd)

(b) Transactions and balances

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:

30.06.2011. 30.06.2010.
LVL LVL
1 USD 0.489000 0.573000
1 EUR 0.702804 0.702804

C Property, plant and equipment

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.

D Intangible assets other than goodwill

(a) Trademarks and licenses

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.

(b) Software

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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

E Research and development

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.

F Impairment of assets

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).

G Segments

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.

H Government grants

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.

I Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable 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 workin-progress include cost of materials.

J Receivables

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised 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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

K Cash and cash equivalent

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.

L Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged against the share premium account.

M Borrowings

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.

N Deferred tax

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, non- 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 realised 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 utilised.

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.

O Employee benefits

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.

P Revenue recognition

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.

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

P Revenue recognition (cont'd)

(b) Rendering of services

Revenue is recognised in the period when the services are rendered.

R Leases

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.

S Dividend payment

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.

T Consolidation

The Company does not prepare consolidated accounts for the year ended 30 June 2011. 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.

3. Financial risk management

(1) Financial risk factors

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:

  • (a) Foreign currency risk;
  • (b) Credit risk;
  • (c) Liquidity risk.
  • (d) Cash flow interest rate risk

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.

(a) Foreign currency risk

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.

Net open position 1 616 881 1 075 912 1 625 232 3 780 065

(b) Credit risk

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 or State Export Guarantees purchased. 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 2011, the Company's credit risk exposure to a single customer amounted to 38.07 % of the total short and long-term receivables (30.06.2010: 15.11%). 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 5 657 647 or 58.52% to total assets (30.06.2010: LVL 7 272 428 or 71.62% to total assets).

(c) Liquidity risk

The company follows a prudent liquidity risk management and hence maintain a sufficient quantity of money.

The Company's management monitors liquidity reserves for the operational forecasting, based on estimated cash flows. Most of the Company's liabilities are short term. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to be generated from operating activities.

(d) Cash flow interest rate risk

As the Company does not have significant interest bearing liabilities, thus the Company's cash flows are largely independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company's cash flows from interest bearing assets are dependent on current market interest rates.

(2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments

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.

3. Financial risk management (cont'd)

(2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments (cont'd)

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.

(3) Fair value

The carrying amounts of all financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value.

4. Management of the capital structure

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:

Net debt to equity ratio 0% 4% 0% 4%

5. Key estimates and assumptions

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:

the Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. The management of the Company uses their judgment in estimating useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Their assumptions may change and new amounts calculated;

Notes to the financial statements (cont'd)

5. Key estimates and assumptions (cont'd)

  • the Company reviews property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recoverability 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. The Company does not believe that any material adjustments due to impairment of the Company's assets are needed at the balance sheet date considering the planned production and sales levels;
  • Upon valuation of inventories, the management relies on its best knowledge taking into consideration historical experience, general background information and potential assumptions and conditions of future events. In determining the impairment of inventories, the sales potential as well as the net realisable value of inventory is taken into consideration;
  • the Company estimates allowance for impairment of receivables. The Company believes that impairment allowances recorded in the financial statements correctly reflects net present value of expected future cash flows from these receivables and estimate is made based on the best available information.

17. Segment information and sales

a) The Company's operations may be divided into two major structural units by product lines – CFM (Hybrid/ PDH radio) and CF IP (Hybrid/ super PDH system) as the first structural unit and CFQ (SDH) as the second unit. These structural units are used as a basis for providing information about the primary segments of the Company, i.e. business segments. Production, as well as research and development are organised and managed for each structural units (CFM, CFIP and CFQ) separately.

CFM microwave radio product line has been the main type of radio SAF has been supplying to the market over many years, yet it is still demanded and popular as ever. Such medium capacity, simple yet extremely reliable and feature rich radio forms the basis of many new deployments in the areas of rapid development of telecom networks.

CFIP - a new and growing product line is represented by 4 respectable models,

  • a split mount Phoenix hybrid radio system with Gigabit Ethernet + 20 E1 interfaces;
  • Lumina high capacity Full Outdoor all-in-one radio with Gigabit Ethernet traffic interface;
  • CFIP-108 entry level radio perfect for upgrade of E1 networks into packet data networks.
  • Marathon FIDU low frequency low capacity system for servicing rural and industrial applications

All CFIP radios are offered in most widely used frequency bands from 1.4 to 38 GHz, thus enabling the use of CFIP radios all across the globe.

Phoenix radio represents the type of microwave radio which is taking the commanding role on the market at present.

Full Outdoor units of Lumina and 108 modifications are of growing and developing radio type 'allin-one' which has biggest potential as part of future data/packet networks.

SAF Tehnika was one of the first companies offering Full Outdoor radios from 2003, thus is well positioned to use the past experience for development of next generation product.

Even though mentioned CFIP products are set to carry SAF Tehnika's fortunes into the future, SAF offered CFQ radio, still widely used due to an ability to reconfigure the terminal to provide widest range of interfaces in any SAF system.

As demand for CFQ products has decreased substantially, it has been decided to phase out the entire CFQ product line starting from summer 2011, providing the CFQ basic functionality with CFIP PhoeniX M split mount system. The clients' requirements will be covered by full spectrum of CFIP and CFM products.
