The shareholders hold the power not to approve the annual financial statements and the right to request new financial statements to be prepared.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 are as follows:
The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties and investments in subsidiaries that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. Since 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Group and the Company has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2022:
− Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 cycle (amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments , IFRS 16 Leases and IAS 41 Agriculture) and narrow scope amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and IFRS 3 Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022).
All amendments adopted as of 1 January 2022 had no impact on the Group's and Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
IAS 1 was amended to require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendment provided the definition of material accounting policy information. The amendment also clarified that accounting policy information is expected to be material if, without it, the users of the financial statements would be unable to understand other material information in the financial statements. The amendment provided illustrative examples of accounting policy information that is likely to be considered material to the entity's financial statements. Further, the amendment to IAS 1 clarified that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. However, if it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting policy information. To support this amendment, IFRS Practice Statement 2, 'Making Materiality Judgements' was also amended to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures. The Group and the Company is currently revisiting their accounting policy information disclosures to ensure consistency with the amended requirements.
Amendments to IAS 8: Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
The amendments to IAS 8 clarified how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements.
Other amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are adopted by the EU, but not yet effective, are not relevant to the Group and the Company.
Amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are not yet adopted by the EU, are not relevant to the Group and the Company.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The financial statements are prepared in euro (EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is also the local currency of the Republic of Latvia. Euro is the Company's and the Group's functional and presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania. As these financial statements are presented in EUR thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree, and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances, and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. The Group and the acquiree may have a pre-existing relationship or other arrangement before negotiations for the business combination began, or they may enter into an arrangement during the negotiations that is separate from the business combination. In either situation, the Group identifies any amounts that are not part of what the Group and the acquiree (or its former owners) exchanged in the business combination. The Group recognises as part of applying the acquisition method only the consideration transferred for the acquiree, and the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the exchange for the acquiree.
The Group identifies any pre-existing relationships to determine which ones have been effectively settled. Typically, a pre-existing relationship will be effectively settled, since such a relationship becomes an "intercompany" relationship upon the acquisition and is eliminated in the post-combination financial statements. If the pre-existing relationship effectively settled is a debt financing issued by the acquiree to the Group, the Group effectively is settling a receivable. The Group recognises a gain or loss if there is an effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship. When there is more than one contract or agreement between the parties with a pre-existing relationship or more than one pre-existing relationship, the settlement of each contract and each pre-existing relationship is assessed separately. Settlement gains and losses from noncontractual relationships are measured at fair value on the acquisition date.
Where the acquisition involves a group of assets and liabilities, the Company identify and recognise the individual assets acquired and liabilities. The cost of the transaction is allocated to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase. No goodwill arises on the transaction.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day to day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Depreciation is calculated using the straightline method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 6 years.
The asset residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant, and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of comprehensive income within "other income" in the year the asset is derecognised.
Properties that are held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation are classified as investment properties. Where the Group and the Company owns the buildings, but not the land on which they are built, land is leased from the municipality under operating lease. Land held under operating leases is classified and accounted for by the Group and the Company as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. The fair value of investment property is determined annually by qualified independent valuers (Note 11).
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within "Net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property" in the year of retirement or disposal.
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill are assessed to be finite. Intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives of 3 years.
Intangible assets not yet available for use, such as technical development projects where the related property is not built, are tested annually for impairment and whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
The business model of the Company is to manage investment into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries as one portfolio and evaluate their performance on a combined fair value basis. On this basis information on portfolio is provided to the Management Company and the Investment Committee. Therefore, the portfolio is neither held to collect contractual cash flows nor held both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets. Consequently, such portfolio of financial assets is measured at fair value through profit or loss. If the Company grants short-term loans to subsidiaries for the purpose not related with investment activities they are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost, because they are solely payments of principal and interest and are held to collect contractual cash flows.
At initial recognition, the Group and the Company measures portfolio of investment into subsidiaries at its fair value. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed through profit or loss.
If the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, it is recognised at fair value and '1 day gain' is recognised only if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. In all other cases the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price is deferred. For loans granted measured at fair value through profit or loss this difference is recognised using the straight-line method over the estimated maturity of financial asset.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or financial assets measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
As the business model for the Group's and the Company's other financial assets (except financial assets described in Note 2.8) is held to collect contractual cash flows and they are solely payments of principal and interest, other financial assets are measured at amortised cost. They comprised short-term loans granted, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents. The Group and the Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Financial assets are recognised when the Group and the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
At initial recognition, the Group and the Company measures financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and presented as "other income" in the statement of comprehensive income. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income.
From 1 January 2018, the Group and the Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
The Group and the Company follows a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables:
The financial assets are considered as credit-impaired, if objective evidence of impairment exist at the reporting date. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Financial assets are written off, in whole or in part, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3:
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before the balance sheet date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the tenants to settle the receivable. Such forward-looking information would include:
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Deposits with original maturity of more than three months are classified as deposits on the statement of financial position.
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank account as well as deposit in bank with an original maturity of three months or less.
The Management Fee is remuneration paid to the Management Company for management of the assets of the Company, which is payable for each quarter of a calendar year and is 0.375% of the quarterly weighted average capitalisation of the Company, calculated according to the Articles of Association. From 1 January 2018 the rate of the Management Fee was changed to 0.25% of the quarterly weighted average capitalisation of the Company.
The quarterly payable Management Fee is recorded as financial liability and is accounted for at amortised cost.
The Performance Fee depends on the return earned by the Company, which is calculated for the whole Company rather than for an individual shareholder and is based on internal rate of return. The Performance Fee amounts to 20% of return in excess of the annual internal rate of return of 8% (a high water-mark principle is applied). The Performance Fee is paid to the Management Company on a quarterly basis if both conditions are met - the internal rate of return and the stock price growth (including dividends) exceed 8% annually.
The Performance Fee is accounted as a provision on a quarterly basis until the conditions, as described above, for the payment of the Performance Fee are satisfied, when payable part of the Performance Fee is recorded as financial liability and is further accounted for at amortised cost.
The first period for the calculation of the Performance Fee started from 30 November 2016 according to the Articles of Association of the Company, where initial amount for calculation of internal rate of return is net assets value of the Company as at 30 November 2016 (it is amounted to the equity of the Group as at 30 November 2016). If, after that date, the capitalisation of the Company (market value of the issued shares of the Company) is more than net assets value of the Company and internal rate of return calculated on the basis of net assets value is more than 8%, then payable Performance Fee is calculated based on net assets value of the Company. If the capitalisation of the Company is less than net assets value of the Company and internal rate of return calculated on the basis of capitalisation is more than 8%, then payable Performance Fee is calculated based on the capitalisation of the Company. After the Performance Fee becomes payable, the new period for calculating of the Performance Fee starts, where initial amount for calculation of internal rate of return is the capitalisation of the Company or net asset value of the Company as at the end of previous period - depends on which based on these amounts payable part of the Performance Fee is calculated.
More detailed requirements are set out in the Articles of Association of the Company.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Group and the Company recognises a financial liability when it first becomes a party to the contractual rights and obligations in the contract.
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). Financial liabilities included in trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group and the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. A provision for onerous lease contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group and the Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
The Company is obliged to pay the Performance Fee to the Management Company (Note 2.12). There is an obligation to pay the Performance Fee, which becomes payable only in the event of outperformance of the benchmark when both conditions are met as described in Note 2.12 and the Company's Articles of Association.
As services are provided over time, the obligating past event arises and a provision for the Company's management services needs to be recognised. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the retained earnings. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group and the Company as the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments, including pre-payments, received under operating leases (net of any incentives granted to the lessee) are credited to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Any changes in the scope or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease, for example, rent concessions given which were not contemplated as part of the original terms and conditions of the lease, are accounted for as lease modifications.
The Group and the Company accounts for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, recognising the remaining lease payments, including any amounts recorded as prepaid or accrued lease payments at the time of the modification, as income on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
Property leased out under operating leases is included in investment property in the statement of financial position (Note 11). See Note 2.17 for the recognition of rental income.
From 1 January 2019, leases where the Group and/or the Company are lessees, are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company and the Group.
The right-of-use asset is measured at its cost which includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date (less any lease incentives received), any initial direct costs incurred by the Group and/or the Company. The lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the lease payments.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Company and the Group, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security, and conditions.
The Company and the Group are exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The Group and the Company applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Operating lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The Group and the Company elected to recognise lease income for variable payment that depends on an index or a rate in the periods in which changes of index or rate occur. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as lease income in the periods in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. When the Group and the Company provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of the incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of lease income.
Revenue from utilities and other services is recognised in the accounting period in which control of the services are passed to the customer, which is when the service is rendered.
Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contract. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of variable consideration and payments to customers, which are not for distinct services, this consideration may include discounts, trade allowances, rebates.
A receivable is recognised when services are provided as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Management Company and the Investment Committee that makes strategic decisions.
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
From 1 January 2018 all income of Collective Investment Undertakings is not subject to taxation.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised directly in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The standard income tax rate in Lithuania was 15 % in 2022 and 2021. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred within Lithuania at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
In Lithuania tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. In Lithuania such carrying forward is disrupted if entity changes its activities due to which these losses incurred except when entity does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on entity itself. In Lithuania the losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. From 1 January 2014 current year taxable profit could be decreased by previous year tax losses only up to 70% in Lithuania.
From 1 January 2018 according to the new Corporate Income Tax Act of Latvia the annual profit is not taxed. Corporate income tax would be paid on distributed profit, including conditional distributed profit as for example: expenditure not related to economic activities, some loans granted to related parties, some provisions for doubtful debts. The tax rate on (net) distributed profit would be 20/80. From 1 January 2018 tax losses incurred before 31 December 2017 can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years to reduce up to 50% of tax base of distributed profit in Latvia. From 1 January 2018 the tax base would be reduced by the gain on sale of shares, if the shares were held for an uninterrupted period of at least 36 months. The excess gain can be transferred and utilized in the future periods. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group/Company pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and included in payroll expenses.
The Company and the Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements:
The management has concluded that the Group acts as a principal in relation to utility and other services. Although the most of services rendered to the tenants is performed by other parties, the Group has a right to a service to be performed by the other party, which gives the Group the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity's behalf. From tenant perspective the Group combines the services provided by other parties in providing the specified service to them. According to the management the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide services and has discretion in establishing the price for the services.
Purchases of investment property are generally treated as acquisitions of assets. According to the management, there are no business combinations if the real estate object has individual tenants, the Company does not acquire other assets or rights in addition to the real estate object and does not hire former employees. The Company does not acquire the business process management know-how of a real estate object but manages all acquired objects centrally. The same premise is applicable for acquisition of investment property through entity acquisition.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group and the Company base its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group and the Company.

The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.
Fair value of investment properties was based either on the market approach by reference to sales in the market of comparable properties or the income approach by reference to rentals obtained from the subject property or similar properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogue's transactions in the market. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size, location. Discounted cash flow projections in the income approach are based on estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and by external evidence such as current (at the date of the statement of financial position) market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows. The future rental rates were estimated depending on the actual location, type, and quality of the properties, and taking into account market data and projections at the valuation date.
The Company's investment properties located in Lithuania have to be valued twice a year by qualified independent valuer in accordance with the Lithuanian Law on Collective Investment Undertakings. In the process of valuation, the Management has discussions with the qualified independent valuer about significant unobservable inputs.
The fair value of the investment properties of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022 was EUR 36,427 thousand and EUR 26,444 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 29,616 thousand and EUR 20,797 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 11).
The fair values of investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily discounted cash flows. The fair value of these investments was measured at the fair value of their net assets, including loans granted by the Company. The main assets of subsidiaries are investment properties, which are measured at fair value using the income or market approach. The main liabilities of subsidiaries are borrowings from external financial institutions, which are measured using an income approach, such as a present value technique. The models used to determine fair values are periodically reviewed and compared against historical results to ensure their reliability.
The fair value of the investments in subsidiaries as at 31 December 2022 was EUR 11,176 thousand (as at 31 December 2021 – EUR 9,801 thousand) (described in more details in Note 5).
The amount of provision for the Performance Fee represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The provision is calculated on the basis of the net assets value of the Company, which equals to the equity of the Group. The Performance Fee would become payable only if the stock price growth (including dividends) exceeded 8% annually. As described in Note 2.12, the payable Performance Fee could be based on net assets value or on the capitalisation of the Company. The Company cannot control stock price of the Company shares, therefore the timing and the amount of the Performance Fee payable in future are uncertain.
As at 31 December 2022 provision was calculated as an amount equal to 20% of return in excess of the annual internal rate of return of 8% for period from 30 June 2021 till 31 December 2022. For this period internal rate of return based on net assets value of the Company amounted to 23.23% Initial amount for calculation of internal rate of return for this period was capitalisation of the Company as at 30 June 2021.
As at 31 December 2021 provision was calculated as an amount equal to 20% of return in excess of the annual internal rate of return of 8% for period from 30 June 2021 till 31 December 2021. For this period internal rate of return based on net assets value of the Company amounted to 20.38%. Initial amount for calculation of internal rate of return for this period was capitalisation of the Company as at 30 June 2021, as internal rate of return for period from 31 March 2020 till 30 June 2021 based on the capitalisation of the Company amounted to 36.33% and exceeded 8%, but the capitalisation was less than net assets value of the Company as at 30 June 2021.
As at 31 December 2022 the Company recognised non-current provision for the Performance Fee of EUR 900 thousand (as at 31 December 2021 - EUR 219 thousand) (Note 7).

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks, and legal risks. On an overall Group level strategical risk management was executed by the Management Company. Operational risk management is carried out at each entity level by directors. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks.
The Group's and the Company's principal financial liabilities comprise borrowings, trade, and other payables. The main purpose of the borrowings is to raise finance for the Group's and the Company's operations. The Group and the Company have various financial assets such as trade and other receivables, loans granted and cash which arise directly from its operations. The Company and the Group have not used any derivative instruments so far, as management considered that there is no necessity for them.
The main risks arising from the financial instruments are market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The risks are identified and disclosed below.
Credit risk is the risk one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits, credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables and loans granted. The Group/Company seeks to ensure that rental contracts are entered into only with lessees with an appropriate credit history, from some of lessees advance lease payments are required.
The maximum exposure to credit risk and impairment of trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 13. The maximum exposure to credit risk for loans granted to subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss are their carrying amounts (Note 5). In Note 13 is also disclosed credit quality of trade receivable. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania and Latvia.
As at 31 December 2022 and 2021 the Group and the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and deposits the Group's and the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
According to the European deposit insurance scheme, cash, cash equivalents and deposits of up to EUR 100 thousand of every legal entity in each bank are covered with insurance. All the Group's balance of cash and cash equivalents are covered with the insurance, except for the Company's cash and cash equivalents, because the Company is a collective investment undertaking. The insured amounts of cash placed on AS "SEB banka" accounts were exceeded by EUR 476 thousand and insured amounts of cash placed on AB Šiaulių bankas accounts were exceeded by EUR 212 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (by EUR 113 thousand and by EUR 188 thousand, respectively, as at 31 December 2021).
All cash balances have a low credit risk at the reporting date and the impairment loss determined on 12-month expected credit losses is resulted in an immaterial amount.
The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the banks:
| Group | Company | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moody's short-term ratings | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 |

The Group's and the Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the debt obligations with floating interest rates.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in floating interest rates (EURIBOR), with all other variables held constant, of the Group's and the Company's profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's and the Company's equity other than current year profit impact.
| Increase in basis points | Group | Company | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | |||
| EUR | +300 bps | (383) | (383) |
| -100 bps | 128 | 128 | |
| 2021 | |||
| EUR | +50 bps | (46) | (46) |
As at 31 December 2022 the Group and the Company had two loans with floating interest rates (6 month EURIBOR). As at 31 December 2021 EURIBOR were negative and according to borrowings agreements was equalled to zero.
The Group and the Company holds assets and liabilities denominated only in the Euro, which is functional and presentation currency of the Group. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
The Group's and the Company's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet their commitments at a given date in accordance with strategic plans. The liquidity risk of the Group's operation in Lithuania and the Company is controlled on an overall Group level. The liquidity risk of the Group's operation in Latvia is controlled on an entity level. The Group's and the Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans. The liquidity risk management is divided into long-term and short-term risk management.
The aim of the short-term liquidity management is to meet daily needs for funds. Short-term liquidity for the Group and the Company is controlled through monthly monitoring of the liquidity status and needs of funds.
Long-term liquidity risk is managed by analysing the predicted future cash flows taking into account the possible financing sources. Before approving the new investment projects the Group and the Company evaluate the possibilities to attract needed funds.
The Group's liquidity ratio (total current assets / total current liabilities) as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 was approximately 0.95 and 0,79, respectively. The Company's liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 was approximately 0.43 and 0.56.
As at 31 December 2022 the current assets were lower than current liabilities by EUR 101 thousand in the Group and EUR 969 thousand in the Company. The management of the Group and the Company forecasted the cash flows of the Group and the Company for 2023 and the forecast indicates that the Group and the Company will have sufficient funds to cover liabilities, which fall due in 2023. The Group and the Company could use additional liquidity source - overdraft up to EUR 1,000 thousand available according to borrowing agreement with AB Šiaulių Bankas to meet its liabilities.

The primary objective of the capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company maintain a strong credit health and healthy capital ratios in order to support their business and maximise shareholder value. The Company's management supervises the investments so that they are in compliance with requirements applied to the capital, specified in the appropriate legal acts, as well as provide the Group's management with necessary information.
The Group's and the Company's capital comprises share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group and the Company manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions and specific risks of their activity. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
The Company is obliged to keep its equity ratio at not less than 50 % of its share capital, as imposed by the Law on Companies of Republic of Lithuania. The Company and the Group complied with this requirement as at 31 December 2022 and 2021, except for one subsidiary in 2022 and two subsidiaries in 2021. There are no plans yet to rectify the situation in Lithuania. Pursuant to the Latvian Commercial Law the authorised share capital of a private limited liability company must be not less than EUR 2,800. As of 31 December 2022 and 2021, all Latvian subsidiaries complied with this requirement.
Starting from 2022 the Company has the right to pay dividends without bank consent if the ratio of EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) plus inflows and outflows from subsidiaries (dividends or repayment of granted loan and new granted loans) plus change for provision for the Performance Fee minus payable Performance Fee divided by the sum of debt service costs (interest and principal repayments) and dividends would be higher than 1.1. In addition, on 9 April 2020 the Ordinary General Meeting of the Company changed dividend payment policy by setting the minimum amount of dividends at EUR 0.09, if the legal and contractual requirements do not restrict the payment of dividends.

There were no transfers of assets between the Level 1 and Level 2 and between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during 2021.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group's and the Company's statements of financial position.
Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value
The Group's and the Company's principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position are cash and cash equivalents, deposits, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, non-current and current borrowings, provision for onerous contract.
The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, deposits, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.
The carrying amount of borrowings of the Group and the Company and provision for onerous contract as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 approximated their fair value. Bank borrowings have floating interest rate and were renegotiated recently, therefore their interest rate represents the current market rate. The interest rates of borrowings from related party are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted in line with market rates changes, therefore it was concluded that their fair value approximates carrying amount. The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current interest rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

Management of the Company has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Investment Committee of the Management Company that are used to make strategic decisions. The Investment Committee analyses performance of the Group on property-by-property basis of owned premises. Performance is evaluated based on net operating income. Net operating income is calculated by deducting from revenue premises rent costs (excluding provision for onerous contract), utilities expenses, repair and maintenance expenses, property management and brokerage costs, taxes on property and insurance costs. Segment assets and liabilities are not reported to the Investment Committee. Management of the Company has determined the following reportable segments:

Last year has been extremely successful for the Company in achieving long-term operational results.
INVL Baltic Real Estate's consolidated net operating income from its own properties in 2022 amounted to 2.03 million euros or 26 per cent more than in 2021 (1.6 million euros). INVL Baltic Real Estate's consolidated income in 2022 comprised 3.4 million euros or 25 per cent more than in 2021 (2.7 million euros), the consolidated rental income from own property increased by 13 per cent to 1.9 million euros.
Last year was the third year of operation of the co-working space Talent Garden Vilnius managed by the company, which was extremely successful and again allowed to significantly improve the Company's results. We are glad that Talent Garden Vilnius managed to maintain the maximum level of occupancy of the space for the third year in a row and constantly improve financial results. Thanks to the successful operation of Talent Garden Vilnius and other lease agreements signed in previous periods, in 2022, the net rental income of premises on Palangos g. 4 / Vilniaus g. 33, compared to 2021, increased by 17 per cent and amounted to 1.3 million euros.
The group's net profit in 2022 reached 4.2 million euros, the value of assets under management increased by 6.8 million euros in 2022, and at the end of the year amounted to 36.4 million euros. The value of equity at the end of the year reached 23.54 million euros. The equity value per share was 2.92 euros and increased by 21 per cent (after assessing the dividends paid in 2022) during the year.
Last year, we made significant progress in the design of the reconstruction of the buildings located at the capital's intersection of Palangos and Vilniaus streets. At the beginning of last year, we presented to the public the reconstruction design proposals of the project, which were later approved by the Vilnius City Municipality issuing the design conditions for the reconstruction of the buildings. Currently, together with Viltekta design company, we are preparing a technical project for the reconstruction of buildings. We expect that following reconstruction, the surface area of the complex should increase by approximately 3,600 sq. m.
Last year, it was possible to achieve essential goals in the development of the premises on Vilniaus g. 37 – the building survey was completed and the valuable properties of the building were specified, which allowed the preparation of the management works project and the planning of the building management works, the permit for the performance of which was received in February 2023. We plan to start management work on the building in April 2023. After the completion of the design, reconstruction and management works of the building, the Company will offer to the market about 2,200 sq. m. of leased area on the second and third floors of the highest class office building and catering facilities on the ground floor.
In 2022, the premises managed by INVL Baltic Real Estate were characterised by a high occupancy rate and improving operating results.

The commercial real estate market welcomed 2022 with relatively positive expectations, which were encouraged by the increasing occupancy of business centres and logistics centres, buyers returning to stores and price trends favourable to lessors. When it seemed that the balance could be established in the market, the war and rapid inflation disturbed the future plans. Rising borrowing costs will undoubtedly have a significant impact on returns from leveraged commercial property. The development of new commercial real property objects is limited by increased construction costs, which will ultimately be passed on to tenants, as well as the threat of recession, which can curtail the formation of new demand. On the other hand, there need for new projects is real – vacancy in business and logistics centres is decreasing, and the condition of old buildings and insufficient energy efficiency in the environment of increasing prices of these resources further highlights the gap between new facilities and those built decades ago. The storage segment remained attractive in the first half of 2022 in all three regions of major Lithuanian cities, while the perspectives of business centres differed. In Vilnius, the environment for development in terms of demand is quite favourable, in Kaunas – it becomes somewhat unnecessary, and in Klaipėda – potential, but risky.
In 2022, the supply of business centres in Vilnius increased to over 100,000 sq.m. of leased area. The same amount is under construction and will enter the market in 2023 or early 2024. Twice the amount is in the early stages of development. The territory of the Central Business District (CBD) both in the northern part of Žvėrynas and north of Konstitucijos Avenue is currently attracting a lot of attention. Business centres and residential complexes are planned to be developed in the strip of Krokuvos and Lvivo streets. This development can change the image of this part of the city: increase its multifunctionality, add more greenery and life not only during the day but also during the evening.
Although the forms of corporate work organisation (in-offices\ or remotely) are likely to remain much more diverse than they were before the pandemic, it is clear that business centre parking lots are filling up, as are public transport stops. Employees are returning to offices, and unless something drastic happens in the management of the pandemic, this process will continue and the demand for office space will increase. The vacancy rate of business centres decreased during half a year. Class A business centre vacancy
shrank from 3.5% to 3 %, B1 – from 10% to 6%, B2 – from 11% to 6%. Single-digit vacancy rates create an attractive environment for the development of new business centres. Equally important is the fact that development of business centres is not limited to the CBD alone. Its urban geography is quite extensive: Žirmūnai, Naujamiestis, Viršuliškės, Vilkpėdė, Naujininkai, Lazdynai and Pašilaičiai. A significant number of these neighbourhoods were characterised by the dominance of the residential function. Their attractiveness was less prominent, compared to the territories of Vilnius, where new housing and commercial real property projects are being developed. The increasing multifunctionality of residential districts has many advantages. As the number of employees in the service sector grows, it becomes possible to choose housing closer to the workplace, reduce traffic jams on the streets and save time. These factors that increase urban sustainability are no less important than the energy efficiency of buildings.
The inflation that started in 2021 and accelerated in 2022, the supply of new projects and the decrease in the choice of vacant premises contributed to the increase in rental prices. The price of class A office premises was 15-18 EUR/sq m in the middle of the year, class B1 – 12-15 EUR/sq m, class B2 – 8-11 EUR/sq m.
In Kaunas, the slowed down development of business centres and the passing effects of the pandemic are reducing the vacancy of premises. In half a year, it decreased from approximately 9% in class A Kaunas business centres to 5%, in class B1 – from 8% to 4%. The vacancy rate for class B2 premises increased from 4% to 6%. This allows us to make assumptions about favourable conditions for the development of new projects. The occupancy of new business centres should be shaped not only by the general trend, but also by the rising prices of energy resources, which will continue to highlight the differences between old and new construction buildings. The nominal rental prices of business centres in Kaunas did not change significantly. In class A centres, premises can be rented for 12-14.5 EUR/sq m , in class B1 premises – for 9-11 EUR/sq m. The B2 segment is characterised by the lowest prices, thus, against the background of significant inflation, the lower price ceiling has increased somewhat, and the rental price of premises now reaches 7-9 EUR/sq m. As the impact of the pandemic continues to decrease and businesses refine their forms of activity, little by little, the lack of premises is starting to become apparent, which, together with inflation, can gradually increase rental prices in all segments.
The situation in the Klaipėda business centre market is similar to the housing segment of this port city. Intensive development is in the plans, and in 2022, only one new business centre was opened, where companies providing medical services are located.
On the other hand, the decreasing amount of vacant premises is at least somewhat encouraging. At the end of 2020, over 12,000 sq m of premises were available to tenants, in the middle of 2021 – approx. 10,500 sq m, in the middle of 2022 – approx. 9,000 sq m. It is true that the relatively small number of offices leads to extremely uneven vacancy in different classes of business centres. Class A business centres have the highest vacancy rate – about 25% (has not changed in half a year), while vacant class B premises are decreasing. In the middle of the year, the vacancy of B1 premises decreased to 2% (six months ago – 3%), and in B2 premises – up to 4% (six months ago – 6.5%). Small changes in development and employment also freeze rental prices. Class A premises can currently still be rented for 9-12 EUR/sq m, rental prices of B1 class premises amount to 7-11 EUR/sq m, and in the B2 segment – to 5-7 EUR/sq m. This price level is attractive to tenants only at first glance, because increased development costs and existing rental prices limit the pursuit of operational profitability and keep delaying the development of new projects. Developers are being forced to take more risks in order to find out whether rental prices are being held back by supply that is unacceptable to tenants, or whether there is simply no demand for new projects after all.
In Riga, the demand for logistics and storage facilities remains stable. Due to relatively few new completed construction projects, the vacancy rate in 2022 remains around the 1 per cent level. Rental prices range between 4.2 and 5.2 EUR/sq m.

* Net asset value per share and allocated dividends are recalculated considering the changed nominal value per share (EUR 1.45).
** Initial net asset value per share: EUR 2.1014, revaluated by the nominal value per share being EUR 1.45.
*** Considering resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting of the Company that was held on 9 April 2020 on repurchase of own shares of the Company due to material changes in the incorporation documents of the Company, the net asset value as of 30 April 2020 is announced. According to the published net asset value, the shares of the Company were repurchased from the shareholders of the Company who did not vote at the Meeting regarding material changes in the incorporation documents of the Company and express their wish to do so.
**** If the Company's net asset value on 30 September 2020 were calculated using the redeemable share liability calculated on the basis of the number of shares actually redeemed and not on the total number of redemption shares submitted, the net asset value would be EUR 28,143,520 or EUR 2.1567 per share.
***** According to the 23 December 2020 Company's announcement of the convocation of the General Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, which was hold on 14 January 2021, if the shareholders of the Company make the decisions provided in the agenda of the Meeting, the process of buy-back of shares of Company due to material changes in the incorporation documents of the Company should take place. Therefore, the Company announced the Company's 30 November 2020 net asset value, according to which, the shares of the Company are repurchased from the shareholders of the Company who wish so and who did not vote at the Meeting regarding the material changes in the incorporation documents of the Company.
! The Company's Management Company performing the usual operational control measures, determined that in determining the value of the Company's net assets of 30 November 2020 and 31 December 2020, the error occurred. Accordingly, the adjusted values of the Company's net assets are presented: (i) the Company's net asset value as of 30 November 2020 was EUR 28,765,348, or EUR 2.2043 per share. The difference from the previously announced net asset value is 0.27 percent.(ii) the Company's net asset value as of 31 December 2020 was EUR 28,832,682, or EUR 2.2095 per share. The difference from the previously announced net asset value is 0.13 percent. This discrepancy in the value of the Company's net assets did not have any negative consequences for the Company's shareholders. The Company's share buy-back, which ran from 25 January 2021 to 25 March 2021 (inclusive), was carried out based on a net asset value of 30 November 2020, that value was 0.27 percent higher than the above revised net asset value of 30 November 2020. The difference between the incorrect and the net asset value applied during the share buy-back process will be compensated by the Management Company.

16. Information on the Issuer's payable management fee, the amounts calculated by the Issuer, other assets transferred and guarantees granted to the Company's bodies and company providing accounting services
After the Bank of Lithuania issued the closed-ended type investment company operating license for INVL Baltic Real Estate on 22 December 2016, the rights and duties of the Board and the head of the Company are implemented by the Management Company INVL Asset Management.
The management fee payable to the Management Company (hereinafter – Management Fee) is the remuneration for management of the assets of the Company, which shall be payable for each quarter of a calendar year. By the decision of the General Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on 29th December 2017, the Management Fee was reduced from 1.5% to 1.0%, the Management Fee for a calendar year shall be 0.25% for the quarter of the year of the weighted average capitalization of the Company. The Performance Fee shall be additionally paid to the Management Company under the procedure set in the Articles of Association. During the reporting period the Management fee payable to the Management Company was EUR 176 thousand and EUR zero success fee payable (in 2021 EUR 209 thousand and EUR 1,516 thousand success fee payable, in 2020 the Management fee to the Management Company amounted to EUR 315 thousand and EUR 1,382 thousand success fee payable, in 2019 the Management fee to the Management Company amounted to 331 thousand EUR and 238 thousand EUR success fee).
The Members of the Board and the Members of the Investment Committee of the Management Company do not receive remuneration for these duties. They are paid the salary according to the employment contract with the Management Company. According to Article 23 (3) of the Law on Financial Statements of Enterprises of the Republic of Lithuania, the Company must publish the Remuneration Report from the year 2021. As the Company does not have any employees, in the appendix no. 5 the Company discloses the remuneration of the General Manager of the Management Company, members of Board of the Management Company and members of the UTIB Investment Committee appointed by the Management Company (hereinafter - the Management). The remunerations of the General manager and Board members of the Management Company are calculated on the basis of the proportion of the Management Company's management income (including management and success fee revenues) received from the Company within the total income of the Management Company. The remunerations of the members of the Investment Committee of the Company are calculated in accordance with the part of the time actually allocated to the Company's management (for more details see Appendix 5 to the Annual Report).
According to the decision of the General Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company held on 29 April 2021 it was set the hourly remuneration of the elected independent member of the Supervisory Board at EUR 145 per hour. The other Members of the Supervisory Board do not receive remuneration for these duties.
During the reporting period the Members of the Board of the Management Company and the Members of the Investment Committee were paid EUR 918 of dividends, net of tax. There were no assets transferred, no guarantees granted, no bonuses paid and no
special payouts made by the Company to its managing bodies. The managing bodies were not granted with bonuses by other companies of INVL Baltic Real Estate group.
During the reporting period INVL Baltic Real Estate Group and the Company for Invalda INVL, AB - the company providing accounting services – respectively paid EUR 43 thousand and EUR 25 thousand during the reporting period (in 2021 respectively EUR 25 thousand and EUR 13 thousand, in 2020 - EUR 15 thousand and EUR 7 thousand during the reporting period, in 2019 – respectively paid EUR 15 thousand and EUR 7 thousand).
Invalda INVL, AB and INVL Asset Management, UAB provide accounting services and preparation of the documents related with bookkeeping for INVL Baltic Real Estate according to an accounting services agreement.
INVL Baltic Real Estate has signed these agreements with the following intermediaries:
INVL Baltic Real Estate has no branches or representative offices.
Information, provided in this document, should not be considered complete and covering all aspects of the risk factors associated with public company's INVL Baltic Real Estate activity and securities. There are only basic risks and their descriptions provided in this report. Detailed descriptions of the risks are published on the Company's website.
The value of an investment into real estate can fluctuate in the short-term depending on the general economic situation, real estate lease and sale prices, demand and supply fluctuations. Investments into real estate should be made for a medium or long period in order that the investor could avoid the risk of short-term price fluctuations. Investments into real estate are related to higher-thanaverage risk. If investments are not profitable or in case of other unfavourable circumstances (inability to pay creditors in time), bankruptcy proceedings can be instituted against the Company. Redemption of the Shares is limited, i.e., a shareholder cannot demand that the Company or the Management Company, which took over its management, would redeem the Shares. But a shareholder will have a possibility to sell Shares in the secondary market.
Real estate projects developed by the Company can take longer than planned or cost more than planned and return on investments of the Company may decrease for this reason. Managing this risk, the Company will assign sufficient resources for control over the budgets and performance terms of real estate development projects.
There is a risk that in case of inflation the value of a Share will grow slower than the inflation, which would result in the return lower than inflation. In such a case, the real return earned by persons who sold the Shares of the Company in the market from increase in the value of the Shares can be smaller than expected. In case of deflation, there would be a risk that the value of the Company's investments will decrease by reason of the drop of the general price level.
Real estate development tends to follow the general developments in the macroeconomic environment. Interest rates, unemployment, inflation, private consumption, capital expenditure and other macroeconomic indicators have significant influence on real estate developments and hence the operations and the potential profitability of the Group.
Favourable developments in the macroeconomic environment increase demand for real properties, allow the real estate companies to increase rent rates of properties and other prices related to activities of the Group. Adverse developments increase pressure on real estate prices, rent rates and yields. Hence the Group's results are dependent on general macroeconomic environment and adverse developments in the environment might lead to reconsideration of some of the Group's development plans, negative pressure on prices and rents of the Group's properties or other changes in relation to the Group's properties that might have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and profitability.
Real estate development is a cyclical sector. The number of real estate related transactions fluctuates significantly depending on the stage of the real estate cycle. In the Baltic countries has been relatively high lately as a fast growth in prices fuelled by availability of cheap financing was followed by a steep decline as a result of financial crisis. In the future the Baltic real estate market might regain the lost momentum, again inflating the price levels, which might be followed by overheating of the market and downward pressure on the prices, thus, starting the next real estate cycle.
The success of the Company's investments will largely depend on decisions taken by persons in the Management Company who are responsible for management of the Company and on experience and capabilities of the said persons. There is no guarantee that the same persons will always remain responsible for management of the Company, however efforts will be used that activities of the Company would always be taken care of by properly qualified persons.
The Group's cash inflows currently are sufficient to finance operating cash outflows and to pay monthly instalments of repayments and interests' payments of bank borrowings. However, further development of the Group's activities will require substantial amounts of capital to fund capital expenditures. For this reason, failure to secure adequate levels of external financing might limit the Group's growth plans and place it at competitive disadvantage as compared to well-capitalized peers. Failure to obtain external financing may lead to forced sale of assets at unfavourable prices or even cause insolvency which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation or financial condition and may destroy the shareholders' value.
The Group's lease agreements may be divided into two categories: non-cancellable fixed-term lease agreements and cancellable lease agreements entered for an unspecified term. For the cancellable lease agreements, tenants must notify the administrator 1- 6 months in advance if they wish to cancel the rent agreement.
The Group seeks to use both types of agreements, depending on the market situation and the properties in question. Lease agreements entered for an unspecified term involve nevertheless a risk that many such agreements may be terminated within a short period of time. The Group aims at renewing the fixed term lease agreements flexibly in cooperation with its tenants. There are, however, no guarantees that the Group will be successful in this. To prevent tenants from terminating the lease agreements, the Group may also be forced to agree on the reduction of rent fees. The reduction of rent fees payable to the Group under a large number of lease agreements and/or concurrent termination of a large number of lease agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.
On 2 January 2013 the Company has entered into an agreement with a third party for property management and administration services on part of Company's asset portfolio. An agreement was terminated on 1 January 2018, after the Company's subsidiary Proprietas, UAB and the Company signed a property management and administration agreement. The detailed list of buildings, administered, based on this agreement is provided in Section 2.3. of the Company's consolidated annual report "Information about the Issuer's group of companies". Under this agreement the third party, as an administrator of the property, is committed to increase Company's value and maintain high quality of service for buildings' tenants and employees. In case of change in administrative prices in the market, new contracts under less favourable conditions can be entered into with administrator, which may directly influence the increase in Company's costs.
There is a risk that in case of fast recovery of the global economy or increase in inflation, central banks will increase interest rates and it will be more expensive to service loans in connection with the Company's investments, therefore, the value of the Company's investments can decrease. To avoid this risk, the Management Company shall seek that the Company would get most of its loans at fixed interest rates. If it seems necessary, the Company shall hedge against interest rate risk when entering relevant transactions.
Rising interest rates will increase the Group's debt service costs, which will reduce the return on investment. If considered necessary, the Group will manage interest rate risk by entering financial derivatives' contracts.
Leverage risk is related to possible depreciation of real estate objects acquired with borrowed money. The bigger the leverage, the higher probability of this risk is.
The Company has given and may have given loans to other companies, therefore, in case of deterioration of the financial condition of those companies, there is a risk that the Company will not get back all the loans granted by it.
This is a risk to incur losses due to low liquidity of the market when it becomes difficult to sell assets at the desired time at the desired price. In management of this risk, the Company will regularly monitor the real estate market, will get ready for the property sale process in advance, in this way reducing the liquidity risk. Acquiring Shares, the shareholders also assume the risk of securities liquidity – in case of a drop in demand for Shares or delisting them from the stock exchange, investors would find it difficult to sell
them. In case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, the demand for Shares, as well as their price may decrease. Liquidity risk also covers the cash flow disruption risk incurred by the Company due to late payments and/or full default on monetary obligations by insolvent tenants.
The value of the investment in real estate can vary in the short term, depending on the general economic conditions, rent and purchase prices of real estate, demand and supply fluctuations, etc. Investment in real estate should be carried out in the medium and long term, so that the investor could avoid short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is related to higher than medium risks. Failure of investments of the Group or under other ill-affected circumstances (having been unable to pay for the creditors) can have a significant adverse effect on the Group's performance and financial situation or in the worst-case scenario bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.
This is a risk that one bad investment can have a significant effect on the results of the Company. To reduce this risk, the Company will have a sufficient number of different real estate objects in its portfolio, in this way maintaining the proper diversification level.
The Company will seek to let real estate objects at as high prices as possible. Though currently the rent is paid in time (overdue obligations of tenants are very small and are not significant for activities of the Company), there is a risk that upon change (deterioration) of the economic situation the tenants will default on their obligations – this would have a negative impact on the profit and cash flows of the Company. In case of late performance of a large part of obligations, the ordinary business of the Company may be disrupted, it may be necessary to search for additional sources of financing, which may be not always available. The Company, in case of failure to earn planned income from lease or to maintain a high percentage of occupation of the buildings, can face the problem of costs that are not compensated by permanent tenants. This risk may manifest itself in case of big increase in the supply of rented premises and reduction in demand, drop-in rental fees. In case of a failure to let the premises at planned prices or in planned scopes, also in case current tenants terminate their lease agreements, the income of the Company could decrease, whereas fixed costs would remain the same. Accordingly, the profit of the Company would decrease.
The assets of the Company will be evaluated according to the main rules set in the Articles of Association and the Accounting Policy of the Management Company. Valuation of individual assets held by the Company shall be performed by the independent appraiser, however such valuation of assets shall be only determining the value of the assets, which does not automatically mean the exact sale price of an investment held by the Company, which depends on many circumstances, for example, economic and other conditions, which cannot be controlled. Thus, the sale price of investments held by the Company can be higher or lower than the value of assets determined by a property appraiser.
The Company, investing into investment objects, will compete with other investors, including, without limitation, with other investment companies or real estate investment funds. Thus, there is a risk that competition with other investors will demand that the Company would conduct transactions at less favourable conditions than it would be possible in other cases.
Acquisition of Shares entails the risk to incur losses due to unfavourable changes in the Share price in the market. A drop in the price of the Shares can be caused by negative changes in the value of assets and profitability of the Company, general share market trends in the region and in the world. Trade in Shares can depend on comments of financial brokers and analysts and announced independent analyses about the Company and its activities. If the analysts give an adverse opinion about prospects of the Shares, this can also have a negative effect on the price of Shares in the market. In assessing Shares, non-professional investors are advised to address intermediaries of public trading or other specialists in this field for help.
Though the Company has approved its dividend payment policy, payment of dividend to Shareholders is not guaranteed and will depend on profitability of activities, investments plans and the general financial situation.
It may be possible that in case an investor wants to urgently sell the Issuer's securities (especially a large number of them), demand for them on the exchange will not be sufficient. Therefore, sale of shares can take some more time, or the investor may be forced to sell shares at a lower price. Analogous consequences could appear after the exclusion of the Company's Shares from the Secondary List of Nasdaq. Besides, in case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, demand for the Shares of the Company and, at the same time, their price may decrease.
2022 ANNUAL REPORT | 97
In 2022 the most important risk factor was Interest rate risk. A description of the risk factor and a brief commentary:
In the year 2022 the Company was operating in the face of high inflation. To stabilize and lower inflation, central banks started to raise base interest rates. The Company pays variable interest rates for credits linked to Euribor, as a result of which its increase in 2022 increased the amount of interest paid by the Company, which had a negative impact on the results.
There is a risk that in case of fast recovery of the global economy or increase in inflation, central banks will increase interest rates and it will be more expensive to service loans in connection with the Company's investments, therefore, the value of the Company's investments can decrease. To avoid this risk, the Management Company shall seek that the Company would get most of its loans at fixed interest rates. If it seems necessary, the Company shall hedge against interest rate risk when entering relevant transactions.
Rising interest rates will increase the Group's debt service costs, which will reduce the return on investment. If considered necessary, the Group will manage interest rate risk by entering financial derivatives' contracts.

**Other members of the Management did not receive remuneration from other companies of the Group of the Company.
As a rule, the bonus is paid in money. The Management Company, in accordance with the principle of proportionality, does not apply the requirement regarding the mandatory payment of the bonus in financial instruments. The managers of the Company are not granted shares of the Company, nor are there any share options for the Company's shares with them. In accordance with the Policy of the Management Company in force in the Company, the portion of the variable remuneration allocated to the employee of the Management Company (all or part of it) may be allocated in the options of AB Invalda INVL. Their pro rata payment is realised through the assignment of shares (i.e. the grant or obtaining of the right to acquire the relevant quantities of shares at different terms) under the procedures and conditions laid down in the option agreements.
Due to the fact that the management of the Company is delegated to the Management Company and its management bodies are not formed, and the Company itself does not have employees, the annual changes in remuneration and the full-time equivalent changes in average remuneration, based on the employees of the Company who are not members of the management bodies, cannot be compared. It is also not possible to provide information on the annual changes in the remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board and the average remuneration, as the members of the Supervisory Board do not receive remuneration.
Since only the remunerations of the members of the Investment Committee of the Company are calculated on the basis of the actual part of the time allocated to the management of the Company and their remunerations depend on the performance of the Management Company related to the activities of the Company, therefore, the table below reflects only the remunerations of the members of the Investment Committee and the financial results of the Company.
