in the company&rsquo;s operations, the FSU and CEE regions contribute the largest share of revenues. This was also the case in Q3 2012, although the company grew significantly in all other major regions of operations. Revenues derived from the FSU region grew by 18.45% in Q3 2012 and 16.48% in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the corresponding periods of 2011. As a result, the contribution of this region to total revenues grew to 41.64% in Q3 2012 and 40.78% for the first nine months of 2012. Revenues derived in the CEE region grew by 28.29% in Q3 2012 and 17.67% for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the corresponding periods of 2011. In both Q3 2012 and in the first nine months of 2012 the company also recorded significant growth in the Middle East and Africa (+2.17% and 15.41% respectively) and in Western Europe (+31.88% and 12.96% respectively). Strong growth in all these regions allowed the company to produce major growth in revenues in Q3 2012, at +20.62%, which resulted in 16.46% growth for the first nine months of 2012. This positive trend is expected to continue, since Q4 is traditionally the strongest period of the year, assuming no major negative changes in the overall market situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&ldquo;Our strategy is to focus on our main markets, constantly refine our product portfolio and generate sales with good margins<\/em><em>,&rdquo;<\/em>commented
