Management Report

The Company's non-audited net sales for the third quarter of financial year 2010/11 were 2 771 775 LVL (3 943 881 EUR) reaching the same sales result compared with the third quarter of the previous financial year.

Sales volumes in the two regions – the Americas and Europe, CIS were similar. Each of those regions represented 36% of the 3nd quarter's turnover. Sales rose by 114% or 531 thousand LVL (757 thousand EUR) in the Americas due to sales increases both in North America and Latin America compared with the same quarter of the previous corresponding period. All currently available SAF's product lines were on demand in the Americas region. Equal sales increase - by 111% or the same 531 thousand LVL (757 thousand EUR) was recorded in Europe, CIS region. Sales in Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East represented 28% of quarterly sales and were by 58% less than in the 3nd quarter of the previous financial year. The decrease in demand from Asian customers and decline in number of projects for SAF Tehnika products in Africa were main reasons for the comparative decrease in this region. So as to strengthen SAF's brand, to promote SAF's products and solutions and meet current and potential customers the Company participated in several events such as Animal Farm 2011, held in Salt Lake City, USA; ExpoComm in Rome, Italia and CeBIT 2011 in Hannover, Germany. It should be noted that two new CFIP product line products were launched in the reporting quarter - the first long-haul point-to-point microwave system for industrial applications - CFIP Marathon and CFIP PhoeniX M - a cost effective split mount, powerful and interference free microwave solution for telecoms. The Company's products were sold in 50 countries during the reporting quarter.

Chart 1. Quarter 3 revenue breakdown comparative charts:

The Company's non-audited net sales for 9 months of the financial year 2010/11 were 8 900 904 LVL (12 664 845 EUR) representing a year-on-year increase of 37%. Sales in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa represented the largest part - 40% of 9 months revenues although it was by 354 thousand LVL (504 thousand EUR) or 9% less than in 9 months of previous financial year. The sales decrease in the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa was compensated by results in other regions - sales increased by 125% or 1.8 million LVL (2.6 million EUR) in CIS and Europe region and a 86% increase was recorded in the Americas amounting an increase by 945 thousand LVL (1.35 million EUR).

CFIP and CFM product sales represented 75% out of all sales in 9 months of financial year amounting to 6.7 million LVL (9.5 million EUR) showing increase by 2.7 million LVL (3.9 million EUR). At the same time CFQ products were sold by 0.6 million LVL (0. 86 million EUR) less and thus pointing CFIP products dominance in customers' orders. It is expected that both - licensed CFIP products (Lumina, PhoeniX, Marathon, CFIP 108) and newly developed cost effective un-licensed CFIP FreeMile will be main sources of income for this and next year. Chart 3. Quarter 3 and 9 months product sales breakdown.

Highly apprizing contribution of the Company's employees in the financial result the Company is paying bonuses for its employees on quarterly bases.

It should be noted that the customer who delayed payments substantially due to its liquidity problems (see information in the Company's Interim report for 6 months FY 2010/11) started to repay its debt in Q3 that allowed decreasing an allowance for doubtful debtors.

The net profit of SAF Tehnika for the third quarter of financial year 2010/11 was 317 654 LVL (451 982 EUR) being by 48% less compared with the third quarter of the previous financial year, but by 8% more than the previous reporting quarter of this financial year.

The net profit of SAF Tehnika for the 9 months of financial year 2010/11 was 888 081 LVL (1 263 625 EUR) which is by 366% or 645 576 LVL (918 572 EUR) better than the result for the 9 months of financial year 2009/10.

The Company's net cash flow for the 9 month period of the financial year was a negative -272 273 LVL (-387 410 EUR). It has to be taken in to account that the company has deposited 1 416 035 LVL (2 014 836 EUR) (deposit period more than 90 days), recorded as a short-term investment in the balance sheet on March 31, 2011. Besides, the Company paid dividends of LVL 0.23 (twenty three santims) per share or, 683 141 LVL (972 022 EUR) in November 2010.

Market overview

This year has begun with two remarkable deals, reflecting changes in the industry and leaving a strong mark on the telecom business.

The first one is that Ceragon acquired Nera Networks. The transaction has lifted Ceragon close to top players in the microwave radio market and could accelerate Ceragon's strategic plans fully capitalise on global opportunities.

The second is the acquisition of Motorola Solutions by Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) . This deal reinforces NSN`s position as one of the world's largest wireless infrastructure and services provider.

In our opinion, the main driver of these changes is a long term competition from rapidly growing telecommunication giants based in China - Huawei and ZTE which are challenging others to obtain the leadership in the telecom market.

From a technological point of view, the main discussion in the industry is on LTE implementation. Some estimates show that globally there will be 16 million LTE subscribers by the end of this year. Besides LTE base station strategies, an idea of short distance IP solutions have emerged. It could give a priority to the e-Band radio – a new ultra high capacity short distance point-to-point microwave solution.

Guidance

The beginning of 2011 showed that the majority of microwave vendors are shifting towards a full outdoor solution to meet the growing demand for total network cost reduction. In this situation, the Company benefits as the one of the pioneers, due to the accumulated knowhow and vast experience with full outdoor radio technology.

General economic recovery as well as consolidation of telecommunication equipment vendors are providing new opportunities for SAF Tehnika as independent and stable market player, shown by increasing growth of sales this year.

To allocate the required resources to maintaining successful development, SAF will move from the regional approach towards country based operations. Joint venture foundation in Saudi Arabia is supposed to be followed by another foundation in other countries in the next quarters.

SAF has also an opportunity to enter new customer segments with our latest products such as CFIP Marathon and SAF FreeMile, thus enhancing SAF brand awareness as well as increasing the Company's competitiveness.

On March 31, 2011 the Company employed 168 people. (137 people on March 31, 2010).

Note 10 Segment information

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 3 notable 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.

All CFIP radios are offered in most widely used frequency bands from 6 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 'all-in-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 is still offering a popular CFQ radio, still widely used due to an ability to reconfigure the terminal to provide widest range of interfaces in any SAF system.

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 2010/11 and financial year 2009/10.
