2 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The interim condensed financial statements for the 6 months ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2021.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except adoption of new Standards and Interpretations as of 1 January 2022, noted below.

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period:

− 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).

The amendments to existing standards are not relevant to the Group.

3 Investment properties

During 1st Half Year of 2022 and 2021 the Group has not acquired investment properties. In March 2022 the Group sold 17.2882 ha land for EUR 450 thousand to UAB Mantinga. In 1st Half year of 2022 was recognised profit of EUR 350 thousand from the sale. It should be noted that the difference between the sale price and carrying amount of the land is based on the fact that the buyer of the land does not plan to use the land according to its agricultural purpose. Therefore, the transaction does not have impact to fair value of other land, owned by the Group. During 1st Half year of 2021 the Group has not sold any investment properties.

Investment properties are stated at fair value and are valued by accredited valuer UAB korporacija Matininkai using sales comparison method. The valuation was performed in December 2021. There were no significant changes in the market since the end of 2021 that could have an effect on the value of those investment properties, therefore the updated valuation was not performed as at 30 June 2022.

On 1 May 2014 changes to the Agricultural Land Acquisition temporary law entered into force, providing restrictions of the purchase of agricultural land (including restriction of purchase of shares in the legal entity owning agricultural land). These restrictions mean that the Group cannot purchase additional agricultural land and/or acquire shares in entities owning agricultural land. As a result of restrictions, the land sale market in Lithuania became less liquid.

There were no other restrictions on the realisation of investment properties or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposals during 1st Half Year of 2022 and 2021. No contractual obligations to purchase investment properties existed at the end of the period.

Compared to May 2022, in June the prices of consumer products and services increased by 2.2 percent, according to preliminary data. Taking into account consumer price development trends and the updated technical assumptions of the European Commission regarding the development of oil prices, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania predicts that in 2022 the average annual inflation in the country will be 15.8 percent, that is 6 percentage points more than projected in March.

In 2021, Lithuania's gross domestic product (GDP), according to the data provided by the Department of Statistics, amounted to EUR 55.3 billion at current prices. Compared to 2020, the real change in GDP, after excluding the effects of the season and the number of workdays, was 4.8 percent (without excluding it was 4.9 percent). In the first quarter of 2022, the GDP at the prices of that time reached EUR 14.1 billion . Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, the real change in GDP, after excluding the effects of the season and the number of workdays, was positive and amounted to 1 percent. Based on the production method, in the first quarter of 2022, the results of industrial, construction, wholesale and retail trade, professional, scientific and technical, administrative and service companies had the greatest positive influence on the GDP change. While assessing GDP by using the expenditure method, it was identified that in the first quarter of 2022, compared to the previous quarter, the household final consumption expenditures decreased by 0.3 percent, the government final consumption expenditures also decreased by 0.3 percent, and gross fixed capital formation increased by 2.5 percent. Export of goods and services increased by 3.8 percent, import of goods and services – by 3.1 percent.

According to Bank of Lithuania analysts, Russia's military actions in Ukraine and the renewed pandemic in China are inhibiting the development of the world economy. The war, through rising commodity prices, supply chains and geopolitical uncertainty, has affected not only countries with close trade and financial ties to Russia and Ukraine, but also many other countries around the world. Although these factors primarily slow down the growth of economies, they also contribute significantly to the increasing inflationary pressure in the world. In the developed economies of the world, inflationary pressure is also increased due to the tense situation in the labour market, more active increases in wages and high domestic demand. Around the world, rapidly rising prices are forcing central banks in many countries to tighten their monetary policies, which will tighten financial conditions for households and businesses as well. All this affects economic activity and price development in Lithuania through international trade and financial relations.

According to the Bank of Lithuania, three months after the start of Russia's war against Ukraine, the country's economy shows great resilience. Data on the turnover of companies in the largest sectors of the economy – industry, construction, trade and services – published monthly in March-April did not show significant signs of decrease in turnover. From the number of persons insured by all types of social insurance, which is updated daily by Sodra, it can also be seen that there has been no correction in the number of employed persons so far. The changes in the sentiments of the population and companies are quite small. Compared to previous crises, the currently observed trends in economic confidence indicators are more similar to those observed in 2014, when Russia imposed an embargo on part of the goods produced in the European Union, than to those observed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic or during the global financial crisis. Although a more significant economic decline in 2022 is unlikely for now, supply chain disruptions caused by the war and the pandemic and rising inflationary pressures have meant that household consumption in the first quarter of 2022 was slightly lower than at the end of 2021. On the other hand, the development of investment and exports of goods and services was relatively strong, taking into account supply disruptions, rising raw material prices and other negative factors that hindered the implementation of investment projects in both the public and private sectors.

In the statement of the Bank of Lithuania published in June 2022, it is predicted that the development of the state's economy in the coming years will be most influenced by the course of Russia's war against Ukraine, the management of the global pandemic situation and disruptions in supply chains. The nature of these factors means that currently the forecasts of the country's economy are surrounded by extremely high uncertainty. The constantly changing situation in Ukraine and expanding sanctions against Russia, which lead to a significant increase in the prices of raw materials, will suppress the economic growth of both Lithuania and its main trading partners. It is anticipated that the demand for Lithuanian goods and services in foreign markets in 2022 will decrease and, although it is expected that from the beginning of 2023 it will start to recover, yet it should reach the level before the Russian invasion of Ukraine only at the end of 2023. Such a development of external demand will contribute the most to a slower export development, which will also be suppressed by the transport sector, which is facing challenges while exporting services. The less favorable development of the exporting sector is one of the most important factors leading to a lower than previously expected investment development, especially in 2022. However, the expected significant increase in government investments and the accelerated housing market will create conditions for investment growth this year, and in 2023 recovery of private sector investments is also expected. Although nominal wages will continue to rise rapidly, due to increased inflation, real wages in 2022 will decrease for the first time in a decade. This, together with the expected tightening of monetary policy, leading to an increase in interest rates, will be the main factors limiting the growth of Lithuanian household consumption. It is true that due to the package adopted by the Government to reduce the consequences of inflation and the growth of incomes other than wages, the real disposable income of households will increase slightly this year as well, and next year, when inflation will decrease, it will grow faster again. This, together with the falling savings rate, will create opportunities to support relatively rapid growth in consumption. All these

factors should lead to the growth of the Lithuanian economy in the coming years. It is predicted that the real GDP of Lithuania in 2022 will increase by 2.1, and in 2023 – by 3.4 percent.

In April 2022, the European Commission submitted its comments on Lithuania's Strategic Plan for Agriculture and Rural Development 2023-2027. It envisages allocating almost EUR 4 billion from the European Union's support for Lithuanian agriculture and rural development and about EUR 276.5 million of the national budget funds. For direct payments and sectoral measures, EUR 3.2 billion of the European Union funds and around EUR 2.8 million of national funding are anticipated, while EUR 977.5 million of the European Union funds and EUR 273.7 million of national funding are planned for rural development interventions. The European Commission, having assessed Lithuania's Strategic Plan for Agriculture and Rural Development 2023-2027, proposes to take greater account of the risks to food security caused by the war in Ukraine, as well as to focus more on green sector policies, more sustainable production methods, rural viability, digitalisation, and farmers' consulting. The direct payment limits in the Strategic Plan are welcomed, with "a threshold" of EUR 100,000 and a reduction of 85 percent of payments above EUR 60,000. The final version of Lithuania's strategic plan must be approved by the end of 2022.

The growth of prices of agricultural land in the past years was significantly affected by the consistently improving national economy, the growing incomes of the market players and the activity of the market players in more expensive territories provided with welldeveloped communications and road and services infrastructure. The prices of plots of agricultural land are also affected by the high profitability of agricultural activities supported by EU grants for agriculture as well as the increase in the sizes of farms resulting from acquisition or lease of additional agricultural land. The supply of plots of agricultural land in Lithuania is fairly active, but the selection of land plots suitable for farming is becoming scarce. Major farmers increase their facilities by purchasing small land plots, but the supply of these shrinks each year. Fertile land plots are sold very quickly.

The restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land enforced in Lithuania and the consistently growing purchase price of plots of agricultural land raise the demand for leased land and the lease rates. Young farmers, farmers with large farm areas and agricultural companies are very interested in the lease of land plots since after plots of agricultural land are leased a higher probability to subsequently purchase them appears in case land owners wish to sell their land plots.

More stringent amendments to the Provisional Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective in May 2014. These amendments do not allow related parties to acquire more than 500 hectares of land from the State or other persons. A new wording of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective on 1 January 2018. The wording of the law enforced prior to 2018 only permitted the purchase of agricultural land to a person that has professional skills and competence, i.e. satisfies the eligibility requirements prescribed by the law. The new wording of the law enforced from 1 January 2018 does not contain any eligibility requirements. The list of persons that have the pre-emptive right to purchase private agricultural land was adjusted in the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land. The new wording of the law ensures the right to purchase land for persons engaged in agricultural activities. The new wording of the law provides for the prohibition to land plot owners to set the condition of sale of a land plot providing that a person that enjoys the pre-emptive right only may avail of it if it acquires the land plot together with the other land plots offered for sale. This provision is no longer effective when land plots offered for sale have adjacent borders. The new wording of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land effective from 1 January 2018 provides that agreements of purchase and sale of land may only be executed with payments made via bank transfers. The new wording of the law also provides that related parties that manage in the Lithuanian territory by right of ownership agricultural land plots with an area greater than specified in the law (300 hectares, in certain cases 500 hectares) may conclude agreements of transfer of agricultural land plots with each other provided that the total area of the agricultural land acquired by such related parties does not increase as a result of such agreements and that the area of the agricultural land of each of these related parties does not exceed 500 hectares.

INVL Baltic Farmland owns 100% of the shares of 18 private joint-stock companies, which, taken together, have purchased an approximately 3,000 hectares of agricultural land in Lithuania.

Starting from 30 June 2015, when the simple administration agreement was signed with INVL Farmland Management, a company managed by Invalda INVL (the largest investment management and life insurance groups in the Baltic countries), the administration of land plots was assigned to this company. On 28 December 2020, an amendment to the Simple Property Administration Agreement No 20150630/01 was executed, on the basis of which the term of the agreement for property administration was extended until 31 December 2025.

The enforced more stringent requirements for the acquisition of land have resulted in that companies of the INVL Baltic Farmland group are no longer able to directly invest in agricultural land in Lithuania and are unable to overtake the control of companies that manage agricultural land.

INVL Baltic Farmland is seeking to earn in the long run from the increase in land rent and from the growth of the value of land. According to the data of the property valuation conducted in Q4 2021, the value of the land plots has increased in the course of the year by 8.2% and reached EUR 16.62 million. One hectare is valuated on average at EUR 5.36 thousand (divided by the total amount).
