In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and their consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania that are relevant to the audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Below is the description of each key audit matter and our response to it. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 1. Fine imposed by the Competition Council As disclosed in Note 27 of the financial statements, on 3 June 2020 the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the parent of the Group against the decision of the Competition Council and as a consequence, the Group has recognized in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8.5 million EUR and related interest charge amounting to EUR 1.4 million. The Group is discussing with the State Tax Inspectorate the interest and execution costs. They are seeking for payment period extension This matter was significant for our audit because the payment of the fine and interest charge significantly affect the Cash Flow of the Group. Accounting & Outsourcing Audit & Assurance Legal advisory Tax Financial consulting Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures, among others, included the following: - Reading the ruling issued by the Supreme Administrative Court. - The Group is discussing with the State Tax Inspectorate the interest and execution costs. They are seeking for payment period extension. - Analysis of responses in the external legal advisor‘s letter to our inquiries. - Consideration of the outcome of the respective prior year management’s estimate, including assessment of potential management bias. Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 27 of the financial statements on this matter. 2. Revenue recognition for constructions contracts in progress The Group’s main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in Notes 2, 3.13 and 18, the Group recognizes revenue from the customer specific construction contracts in progress as of the year-end based on the estimated stage of completion of the projects, which is assessed by reference to the proportion of total costs incurred through the reporting date compared to total costs of the contract estimated by management. This matter was significant to our audit because recognition of revenue for the reporting year is highly dependent on the judgment exercised by the management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete the construction contract and changes in these judgments and related estimates throughout a contract life can result in material adjustments to revenue and margin recognised on contracts, which can be either positive or negative. Our audit procedures, among others, included the following: - Updating our understanding of the Group’s revenue recognition process, including the model used for the revenue recognition in relation to the contracts in progress, and controls in relation to long-term construction contracts. We also assessed how the management makes the accounting estimate (determines the stage of completion of the projects) and the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data on which it is based as further described below. - Testing the Group’s key controls over allocation of revenues and costs to a specific contract. - Consideration of the accuracy of management’s forecasts for potential management bias by comparing the historical financial performance of selected contracts completed in 2021 with the total cost estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as of 31 December 2020. - Considering whether all material loss making contracts were properly identified and accounted for; - Selecting a sample of contracts with the greatest potential impact on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, considering both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique in their nature, for additional testing as outlined below. How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit For the sample of contracts selected, we have considered the adequacy of the management’s estimate on the amount of revenue to be recognized in the financial statements by performing the following procedures, among others: - comparing the contracts signed with customers against the total contract value estimates included in the management’s calculations; - considering the management’s estimated costs required to complete the contracts by reference to our understanding of the contract scope and the management’s contracts’ cost budgets and our inquiries of contract managers; Accounting & Outsourcing Audit & Assurance Legal advisory Tax Financial consulting Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd - tracing costs incurred up to date as per management’s estimation of the stage of completion to the costs included in the statement of comprehensive income, considering also whether they are reflective of the actual progress of the work and are eligible items; - considering the reasonableness of the margins recognised by the Group for the projects in progress taking into account our understanding of the contract scope and the historical performance of the Group; - and tracing actual contract revenues accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income to the estimation of the management of the amounts of revenue to be recognized for the contracts in progress based on the assessment of their stage of completion. Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in Notes 2, 3.13 ir 18 of the financial statements. 3. Fair value assessment of the investment property The Group accounts for investment properties in the financial statements at fair value (IAS 40). The significant increase under Investment property caption as of 31 December 2020 is related to the change in the fair value of the business centre project developed UAB Šeškinės projektai. Gain arising from changes in fair value is recognised the statement of comprehensive income. The fair value of the Group’s investment property is based on the valuations performed by independent appraisers. The valuations are dependent on certain key assumptions which requires significant judgements. Details of the valuation methodology and key inputs used in the valuations are disclosed in Notes 2 and 16. This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of related management estimation. How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit - We gained an understanding of how the management estimates the fair value of the investment property (including methods and assumptions). We considered the following: - Considerations about the independent external appraiser’s competence, capabilities and objectivity; - Understanding the methods used by the external appraiser to estimate market values; - Consideration of the accuracy and relevance of the input data provided by management to the external appraiser where discounted cash flows method was used. We considered the key assumptions used by the management in the discounted cash flows, including discount rates, owner related expenses, and market rent price level, vacancy rates and other; - Consideration of the level of market prices used where comparable market prices method was used. Finally, we considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures on the matter in Notes 2 and 16 of the financial statements. 4. Impairment of trade accounts receivable and contract assets As at 31 December 2021, the Group had non-current and current trade accounts receivable and contract assets balance amounting to EUR 0.03 million and EUR 18.48 million respectively, reported in the statement of financial position, as disclosed in Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements. The estimation of the expected credit losses (ECL) as required by IFRS 9 Financial instruments involves significant management judgement. As disclosed in Note 2, specific factors management considers include analysis of the historical credit losses, consideration of economic developments and other subjective risk factors related to the specific debtor or debtors’ group. Accounting & Outsourcing Audit & Assurance Legal advisory Tax Financial consulting Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd This matter is significant to our audit due to materiality of the amounts as these receivables constitute over 21% of the total assets of the Group in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 and high level of management judgement involved in the assessment of their impairment. How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures, among others, included the following: - We gained an understanding of the management’s process of estimation of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets. This included the consideration whether the model used to develop the estimate is appropriate and assessment whether the impairment accounting policy applied by the Company is in line with the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial instruments. We also assessed how the management made the accounting estimate and the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data on which it is based as follows: - For receivables and contract assets assessed by the management for impairment individually, we have discussed with the management selected individual balances, including management’s analysis of expected recoverability of these balances, and also considered independently the indications of potential understatement of ECL by assessing the ageing of the receivables and amounts collected after the date of the statement of financial position. - For receivables assessed by the management using the expected credit loss rate matrix, we have assessed the key estimates made by the management in developing the ECL matrix, including historical default rate information and forward-looking information as of 31 December 2021. We tested the correctness of aging of the receivables by agreeing the date to the invoices issued for selected items and verified the arithmetical accuracy of the management’s calculation of impairment. Furthermore, we have assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements on this matter (Notes 2 and 18). Other matters The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, were audited by another auditor expressed an unmodified opinion on the Company’s financial statements on 2 April 2021. Other Information The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement, Remuneration Report and Corporate Social Responsibility Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information presentation. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as specified below. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Group’s Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether the Group’s Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements. In our Accounting & Outsourcing Audit & Assurance Legal advisory Tax Financial consulting Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd opinion, based on the work performed in the course of the audit of the consolidated financial statements, in all material respects: • The information given in the Group’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the consolidated financial statements; and • The Group’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Consolidated Financial Reporting by Groups of Undertakings. It is also our responsibility check whether the Consolidated Corporate Social Responsibility Report has been provided. If we identify that the Consolidated Corporate Social Responsibility Report has not been provided, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s consolidated financial reporting process. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or taken together, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up Accounting & Outsourcing Audit & Assurance Legal advisory Tax Financial consulting Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the decision made by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 29 July 2021, we have been chosen to carry out the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the first time. Our appointment to carry out the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the decision made by the General Meeting of Shareholders is renewed every two years and the period of total uninterrupted engagement is one year.

Throughout our audit engagement period we have not provided any other services except for the audit of the Company's separate and Group consolidated financial statements and also translation services of the aforementioned financial statements. Report on the Compliance of the Format of Consolidated Financial Statements with the Requirements of the European Single Electronic Format We have been engaged as part of our audit engagement letter by the Management of the Company to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of the single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, including the consolidated annual report, in a single electronic reporting format (hereinafter the “single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements”).

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an assurance engagement conducted in accordance with ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Summary of the work performed Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material errors or omissions.

Basis of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings measured using the revaluation model and investment property measured at fair value. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 18 2 Basis of preparation (continued) Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in the national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, euro (EUR), which is the Parent company’s functional currency as well as of subsidiaries operating in Lithuania and Latvia. The functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries are the respective foreign currencies of the country of residence. Items included in the financial statements of these subsidiaries are measured using their functional currency. The principles of functional currency translation into the currency of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.1. Due to rounding of certain amounts to thousand, figures in the tables may differ. Such rounding bias is immaterial in these financial statements. Judgements and estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements and have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next financial year is included in the following notes: • Note 4. Classification of the fine imposed by the Competition Council. As described in Note 4, the management determined that the liability must be classified in the Group’s financial statements as current. • Note 13: deferred taxes recognition. Deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences could be utilised. • Note 14: Fair value of land and buildings which are measured using the revaluation model, useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The Group verifies economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year – (Note 3.3). Revaluations are carried out regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from their fair values as at reporting date: when preparing these financial statements, the management has assessed that no periodic revaluation is needed for the property, plant and equipment carried at revalued amount as there are no internal or external indications of material change in the fair values as at 31 December 2021 since the last revaluation performed and accounted for in the financial statements in 2018. • Note 16: Fair value of investment property. The Group engaged external appraisers to estimate the fair values of these assets. • Note 17: Measurement of net realizable value of inventories. A key factor in estimating the net realizable value of inventories is the recoverability of ongoing construction projects. Therefore, the Group engaged external appraisers to estimate the fair values of these projects based on discounted cash flow or comparable price technique, the Company also relied on the Purchase and Sale Agreement signed with a third party after the reporting date and related information. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 19 2 Basis of preparation (continued) • Note 18: Impairment of trade receivables and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers as well as contract assets and contract liabilities based on the stage of completion of the construction contracts. The accurate recognition of revenue on contracts in progress is highly dependent on judgement exercised by the management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of the overall costs of the project (estimates) as it is the key assumption in the assessment of the stage of completion of the contracts in progress. Estimating the recoverable amounts of receivables is a process, which requires significant management judgement and estimates, particularly those that are related to expected credit losses assessment based on the analysis of the historical credit losses, considerations of future factors and other subjective risk factors related to the specific debtor or debtors’ group. Estimates were applied in assessing the amounts to be collected and their timing. • Note 24: Warranty provision is calculated by the Group on a monthly basis based on monthly revenue. Warranty provision is being calculated by taking into account revenue, actual warranty expenses incurred in previous periods, its proportion against actual sales, legal term of warranty and historical information. • Note 27: The management judgements are to predict the outcome of litigations. Provisions are not recognised in the financial statements as based on the management judgement it is more likely than not, that the Group will win the legal disputes mentioned in the Note 27, or it is not possible to assess reliably the possible outcome of the contingency at the moment. Impact of COVID-19: In 2021, the construction industry was still one of the industries most affected by the pandemic. The Group of companies Panevėžio Statybos Trestas sought solutions and options for the problems, operational challenges and risks that emerged during COVID-19 pandemic, was able to adapt to the dramatic changes in the operating environment and behaviour of market participants. The Group of companies tried to maintain a moderate pace of activities rather than delaying decisions to calmer post-quarantine times. Management monitors and evaluates the current situation responsibly (especially with regard to customer billing, shortages of supplies, execution of orders), responds promptly and makes appropriate decisions to safeguard the going concern. Basis of consolidation The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year, using consistent accounting policies. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has: - The power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); - The right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; - The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. All intergroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions among the Group companies have been eliminated. The equity and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, are shown separately in the statement of financial position and the statement of comprehensive income. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 20 The losses of subsidiaries are attributable to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance on the non-controlling interest. Acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interest by the Group are accounted as equity transaction: the difference between the carrying value of the net assets acquired from/disposed to the non-controlling interests in the Group’s financial statements and the share purchase/sale prices are accounted directly in equity. Change of ownership share in the subsidiary when control is retained, is accounted for as equity transaction. If the Group loses control of the subsidiary, the Group takes the following actions: • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary; • Derecognises the carrying amount of non-controlling interest, if any; • Derecognises accumulated currency exchange differences accounted for in equity; • Accounts for consideration received at fair value; • Accounts for retained investment at fair value; • Accounts for arising surplus or deficit in the profit or loss; • Reclassifies the components previously recognized in other comprehensive income and attributable to the parent company to the statement of comprehensive income or retained earnings respectively. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9: in either in profit/loss or as a change in other comprehensive income. If contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer’s equity interest previously held in the acquiree is measured at fair value at the acquisition date through statement of comprehensive income. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment is assessed annually. Accounted impairment is not restated. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, assigned to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 21 A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. These arrangement has the following characteristics: • The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement. • The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. The Group has a joint arrangement that is a joint operation. As a joint operator the Group recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: • its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; • its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; • its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and • its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. (A) Application of new and/or changed IFRS and interpretations issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) During the reporting period, the Group adopted new standards and amendments to existing standards and their interpretations, which are relevant to the activities and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. (a) Standards, their amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. Amendments to IFRS 16 – Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021(issued on 31 March 2021 with effective date of 1 April 2021) These amendments extend the scope of the 2020 amendments by increasing the eligibility period for the application of practical expedient from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022. On 28 May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued COVID-19- Related Rent Concessions, which amended IFRS 16 Leases. The 2020 amendment permitted lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and, instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. Among other conditions, the 2020 amendment permitted lessees to apply the practical expedient only to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. If a rent concession reduces lease payments both before and after 30 June 2021, IFRS 16 does not permit the practical expedient to be applied to that concession. These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. In the management’s opinion, these amendments do not have a material impact on these financial statements as no significant concessions/discounts were received during the reporting period and are not expected to be received in subsequent periods. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments) (issued on 27 August 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2021) The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients: • A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. • Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. • Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 22 These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021. The management assessed that these amendments has no material impact on these financial statements. Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (issued on 27 August 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2021 and must be applied retrospectively) Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 bring to a conclusion phase two which is focused on issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). These amendments will have no impact on these financial statements. (b) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted and their amendments New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not mandatory for reporting period beginning on 1 January 2021 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial statements are presented below: IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments) (all issued on 14 May 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2022) The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows: • IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous. • Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The management is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on financial statements. IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: the Deferral of Effective Dates of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for Insurers (Amendments) (issued on 25 June 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU). The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim at helping companies implement the Standard. Overall, the amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the standard; make it easier to explain financial performance; and ease transition by deferring the effective date of the standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS 17 for the first time. The amendments to IFRS 4 change the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The management has assessed that these amendments will not have any impact on the Company’s and the Group’s financial statements. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 23 IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU). The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with earlier application permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have also been applied. In its March 2020 meeting the Board decided to defer the effective date to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. This IFRS will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and Company as insurance services are not provided. IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments) (issued on 7 May 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU) Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU) The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (issued on 23 January 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 24 IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it is adopted by the EU). The amendments effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. 3.1 Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate by the European Central Bank ruling at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognised in statement of financial position. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The effect of translation is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss. 3.2 Financial instruments Financial instrument: a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement At initial recognition, financial asset is classified as either measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price identified under IFRS 15. Financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, where cash flows arising from financial asset are solely payments of AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 25 principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is known as the SPPI test and is performed for each financial instrument. The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will be generated by collecting contractual cash flows, by selling this financial asset or by using both options. A regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at: At amortised cost (debt instruments). At fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (debt instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020; At fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020; At fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020. Financial asset at amortised cost (debt instruments) The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: (i) The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and (ii) Contractual terms and conditions of financial asset allow for obtaining cash flows, on certain dates, which are solely the payments of the principal or the interest on the outstanding principal. Financial assets measured at amortised cost are subsequently accounted for by applying the effective interest method (EIR) less impairment losses. Gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables and loans granted. Impairment of financial assets Following IFRS 9, in common case scenario, the Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12- month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. (a) Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 26 Based on assessment of the Management, trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component and accordingly their impairment is assessed by applying a simplified approach, i.e. for material individual customers the management performs an assessment of specifically expected credit losses, taking into account the customer’s credit history as well as forward looking factors and risk factors specific to the debtor. For all other receivables the Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. (b) Estimation of the impairment of loans granted The Group is granting loans under the agreements with defined repayment terms. For assessment of impairment of loans granted the expected 12-months credit losses are assessed and accounted upon issue of the loan. In subsequent periods, given the absence of significant increase in the credit risk associated with the debtor, the Group re-assesses the 12-months ECL balance based on the loan amount still outstanding as of the date of the re-assessment. If it is determined that the financial position of the debtor has significantly deteriorated in comparison with the position when the loan was issued, the Group accounts for ECL over the remaining life of the loan. Loans subject to assessment of lifetime ECLs are considered to be credit-impaired financial assets. The Group considers that the debtor has defaulted on the obligations associated with the financial assets, if the contractual payments are overdue more than 90 days or when there are indications that the debtor, or the group of debtors, are facing significant financial difficulties, default on the payments of principal amount or interest, and there is a probability that bankruptcy or reorganization procedures will be initiated, as well as when observable data indicates that the decrease of expected future cash flows is likely, e.g. change in the overdue days or change in the economic factors that correlate with the defaults on the obligations. ECLs for loans and trade receivables is accounted for through profit/loss using allowance for doubtful debts. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans received and payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans received and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, including bank overdrafts and finance lease liabilities. Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below. Loans received and other payables After initial recognition, loans and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised or amortised. Amortised cost is calculated by reference to the discount or premium on acquisition, as well as taxes or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortization is included in financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. Offsetting of financial instruments AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 27 Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, i.e. to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s statement of financial position) when: (i) the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or (ii) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the financial asset. When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained. The Group involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay (amount of the guarantee). Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired. When a present financial liability is swapped with other liability to the same lessor, although, upon other conditions or when the present liability terms are substantially changed, this change is recognized as initial derecognition and establishment of a new liability. The difference between respective balance values is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 3.3 Property, Plant and Equipment Items of property, plant and equipment except for land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Land and buildings are carried at revalued amount which is their fair value as at the revaluation date less subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from their fair values as at reporting date. The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified independent real estate appraisers. The revaluation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land and buildings each year and is transferred directly to retained earnings or loss. In case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of the assets exceeds their residual value, the residual value is increased to the fair value and the amount of increase is included into revaluation AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 28 reserve of property, plant and equipment as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such increase in revaluation is recognised as income to the extent it does not exceed the decrease of previous revaluation recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated from the depreciable amount which is equal to acquisition cost or revaluated amount less residual value of an asset. The accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Upon disposal or recognising regular depreciation charge, any revaluation surplus relating to the particular asset being depreciation or sold is transferred to retained earnings. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of the Group’s self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are capitalised. When components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing component of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The residual value of the replaced component is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the assets are the following: • Buildings and structures 8–40 years • Plant and equipment 5–10 years • Vehicles 5–10 years • Fixtures and fittings 3–6 years Depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the residual value of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income or expenses. When revalued assets are sold or reclassified, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings. Software and other intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life is 3 years. The Group does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful life. 3.5 Investment Property Investment property of the Group consists of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production, or supply of goods, or services or for administration purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 29 Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment property are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of raw materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, as well as the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are capitalised. 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. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the profit or loss in the period of derecognition. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use. 3.6 Leased assets and lease liabilities A. Group as a lessee At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group (as a lessee) applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. The Group had only few assets (cars) lease contracts that are insignificant at the beginning of 2020, however, a long-term lease agreement for 21 car was effective at the end of 2021. Right of use assets The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: • Cars 3 years If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 30 value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the estimates of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group apply the short-term lease recognition exemption to its non-current-asset (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). 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. B. The Group is a lessor The Group’s buildings that are leased under operating lease agreements are accounted in the statement of financial position as investment property. Lease income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease period. 3.7 Inventories Capitalised costs related to the real estate development projects for sale in the usual activities of the Group, are classified as inventories and carried at lower of the cost or net realisable value (NRV). Capitalised costs include land, construction, sub-contracting and other project development costs. Other inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out (FIFO) principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off. 3.8 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and cash at banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of 3 months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 31 For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank accounts, as well as deposits in bank with original term equal to or less than 3 months. 3.9 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognised in profit or loss. However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Such an impairment loss on a revalued asset reduces the revaluation surplus for that asset. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognised. 3.10 Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. 3.11 Provisions A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to their present value at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying construction services are sold (assurance type warranty), as the Group does not provide additional warranties to customers. The provision is based on historical warranty costs data and probabilities. 3.12 Employee benefits The Group does not have any defined contribution and benefit plans and has no share based payment schemes. Post-employment obligations to employees retired on pension are borne by the State. Based on the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, each employee leaving the Group at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment in the amount of 2- month salary. The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of changes in terms of AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 32 benefits (curtailment or settlement) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Current year cost of employee benefits is recognised as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income. The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. Obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of these benefits on the preparation date of the statement of financial position. Present value of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the discount rate which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar maturity as the employment benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income as incurred. Short-term employee benefits are recognised as a current expense in the period when employees render the services. These include salaries and wages, social security contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other benefits. 3.13 Revenue Revenue from contracts with customers The majority of the Group’s revenue comes from the construction of buildings, structures, equipment and networks, and the production and assembly of wooden panel houses. In addition, as described in Note 5, the Group earns revenue from the design and manufacturing of metal structures. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services or goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or goods. Generally, the Group has no material variable price components in its contracts with customers. The Group has concluded that generally it is the principal in its construction services contracts even when the subcontractors are used in the implementation of the projects, because: - controls the goods and services before transferring them to the customer; - is responsible for the overall performance of the contract with the customer and is exposed to the risk of default; - the entity has discretion in establishing the price. Performance obligations arising from the construction contracts with customers’, contracts for the assembly of wooden panel houses and the design and production of metal structures are fulfilled over time and respectively revenue from these contracts and installation services are recognized over time if any of the following criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs; (b) the Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. When the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, for each contract, the Group recognizes revenue and expenses based on the stage of completion. The stage of completion is assessed based on the proportion of the costs incurred in fulfilling the contract up to date over to the total estimated costs of the contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably (for example, in the early stages of a contract), only the portion of the contract costs incurred that is expected to be recovered is recognised as revenue. Contract modification (scope or price or both) are accounted for as a separate contract if the scope of the contract increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct and the price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the Group’s stand-alone selling prices of the additional promised goods or services in the circumstances of the particular contract. Otherwise the contract modification is accounted as (a) termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 33 from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification, or (b) part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. The effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the Group’s measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification. Provisions for loss making contracts are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) to complete the construction contract for the third party for the price that is lower than the total estimated cost to perform the contract as of the date of the financial statements. The difference between the contract price and the total estimated cost of delivery under the contract is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income at the reporting date. When contract costs are likely to exceed contract revenue, a loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. When fulfilling the contracts, the Group can receive short term prepayments from its customers. Applying the practical expedient, the Group is not adjusting the price allocation by the financing component, if at the inception of the contract it is expected that the time period from the customer payment for goods/services till the delivery of these goods/services will not exceed one year. Contract balances Contract assets Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before the Group’s right to amount of consideration is unconditional, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration, except any amounts that are recognized as receivables. Receivables Trade receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Receivables are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 (Note 3.2). Contract liability A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. Income from other services or sales of goods is recognised when the control over service/goods is transferred to the customer, although such transactions are relatively not material. 3.14 Finance Income and Expense Finance income comprises mainly interest income and other similar income. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Financial costs comprise interest expense and other financial expenses. All borrowing costs are recognised using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis in profit or loss. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 3.15 Income Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 34 Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date. Each company of the Group is taxed individually, irrespective the consolidated Group’s results. Most of the Group’s activities are carried out in Lithuania, where income tax rate of 15% applies. Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method. The deferred tax reflects temporary difference between the accounting value of assets and liabilities, and net tax influence of their tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the statement of financial position. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Starting from 1 January 2014, the tax loss carried forward cannot exceed 70% of the taxable profit of current financial year 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. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the company changes its activities due to which these losses were incurred except when the entity does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and can only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. 3.16 Earnings per Share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to employees. The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share. 3.17 Segment Reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker of the Group to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Segment results that are reported to management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 3.18 Determination of Fair Values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non- performance risk. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 35 When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods and assumptions described Note 14, 16 and 29. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 3.19 Off-setting When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses are not set off except for the cases where the International Financial Reporting Standards specifically require such off-setting. 4 Financial Risk Management Overview The Group has exposure to the following financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of these risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contract liabilities. This risk arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, contract assets and the balance of cash and cash equivalents. The Group controls credit risk by credit policies and procedures. The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed for creditworthiness before the standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Customers that fail to meet the benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 36 The measure of credit risk is the maximum credit risk for each class of financial instruments, which is equal to their carrying amount. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk in relation to particular classes corresponds to their carrying amount. The maximum exposure to credit risk is set out below: (EUR thousand) 2020 2020 Trade receivables and contract assets 18,512 12,211 Loans granted 6 11 Cash and cash equivalents 11,888 9,410 Total 30,406 21,632 Trade receivables and contract assets: (EUR thousand) 2020 2020 Municipalities and state institutions 3,305 605 Legal persons 15,207 11,606 Total trade receivables and contract assets 18,512 12,211 In the statement of financial position, trade receivables and contract assets (i.e. accrued income on the stage of completion) are accounted for under the caption “Non-current and current trade receivables and contract assets”, as disclosed in Note 18.

The main components of this allowance are specific losses that relate to individually significant accounts receivable and expected credit losses recognised using ELCs method. Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experienced. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank (only reliable banks are selected); therefore, the related credit risk is relatively low. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operating expenses, including the servicing of borrowings. Payment maturities of financial liabilities as at 31 December 2021 (undiscounted) as to the agreements, are presented below: (EUR thousand) Carrying amount Contractual undiscounted cash flows Up to 6 months More than 6 months Liabilities Loans and lease liabilities 2,0257 22,220 417 21,803 Trade payables 15,660 15,660 15,660 0 Fine payable under the decision of the Competition Council 8,542 8,542 8,542 0 Total 44,459 46,422 24,619 21,803 * The entire amount of the penalty is presented as payable during 6 months because as describe above the management while preparing these financial statements made a judgement that the Company has not yet an unconditional and contractual right to defer the payment when there is no signed the agreement with the Tax Authority and currently the Company pays the penalty in equal parts for a period of eight years (without additional interest). Payment maturities of financial liabilities as at 31 December 2020 (undiscounted) as to the agreements, are presented below: (EUR thousand) Carrying amount Contractual undiscounted cash flows Up to 6 months More than 6 months Liabilities Loans and lease liabilities 15,529 15,677 15,137 540 Trade payables 9,888 9,888 9,888 0 Fine payable under the decision of the Competition Council 9,808 9,808 9,808 0 Total 35,225 35,373 34,833 540 Interest rate applied for calculation of contractual net cash flows: 2021 2020 Loans and lease liabilities 1.95–2.7% 1.95–6.0% On 14 December 2017, an overdraft agreement was signed with bank with the limit of EUR 15 million. Overdraft with the repayment term of 14 June 2021 was used for the development of real estate project of Šeškinės Projektai UAB on 31 December 2020.To refinance the loan, UAB Šeškinės projektai signed a credit agreement with OP Corporate Bank PLC and AB Citadele for EUR 20,000 thousand in 2021. The contractual maturity date is 1 July 2026. On 17 June 2021, an overdraft agreement was signed with bank with the limit of EUR 5 million. As at 31 December 2021 overdraft limit was not used (Note 23). AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 38 Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates will affect the results of the Group. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Group did not use any derivatives. Currency risk. The Group is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency rates on sales and receivables, purchases payables and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. During the year, currency exchange rates in respect of the euro were as follows: 2021 As at 31 December Average 2021 2020 As at 31 December Average 2020 1 SEK = 0.0976 0.0984 0.0994 0.0953 1 RUB = 0.0118 0.0115 0.0109 0.0121 1 NOK = 0.1003 0.0984 0.0948 0.0932 The Group’s analysis of monetary balance sheet items by currency can be specified as follows: As at 31 December 2021 (EUR thousand) EUR NOK PLN RUB Deferred tax assets 390 Trade receivables and contract assets 18,487 1 24 Excess VAT, prepaid income tax 726 14 38 Cash and cash equivalents 11741 59 74 14 Deferred tax liability (875) Loans and borrowings (20,319) Trade payables (15,491) (40) (43) (24) Provisions (1,113) Income tax (82) (37) (1) Other liabilities (17,192) (231) (185) (17) Total exposure (23,728) (249) (140) 35 As at 31 December 2020 (EUR thousand) EUR NOK SEK RUB Deferred tax assets 531 Trade receivables and contract assets 12,211 Excess VAT 727 Cash and cash equivalents 8,950 374 31 55 Deferred tax liability (555) Loans and borrowings (15,529) Trade payables (9,882) (6) Provisions (1,176) Other liabilities (13,442) (341) Total exposure (18,165) 27 31 55 The following table presents the Group’s income before tax sensitivity to expected currency rate fluctuations, considering all other variables as constants (in accordance with changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities). The effect of Euro on Russian subsidiary: Increase/(decrease) in currency rate Impact on profit before tax 2021 EUR +15.00 % (2 012) EUR -15.00 % 2 012 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 39 Increase/(decrease) in currency rate Impact on profit before tax 2020 EUR +15.00 % (1 900) EUR -15.00 % 1 900 Interest rate risk. All the Group’s loans received and granted, and other borrowings are subject to variable interest rates linked to EURIBOR. No financial instruments are used to manage the risk. With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 December 2021, the Group’s net profit would decrease by approximately EUR 102 thousand due to loans received (as at 31 December 2020: net profit would decrease by EUR 76 thousand). Capital management The Boards policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital and proposes the level of dividends based on the Group’s financial results and strategic plans. The Board also aims to keep balance between higher return, which could be available if there was higher level of borrowed “funds” and security, which is provided by higher level of equity. The Group adheres to the requirement set in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania under which the equity of the entity must not be less than ½ of the issued capital. As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Group was in line with this regulation. The Group’s capital management policy did not change during the year. For capital management purpose, capital consists of share capital, retained earnings, revaluation reserve and legal reserve. 5 Segments For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on type of activities and has four reportable segments: • Construction; • Steel structures; • Wooden panel houses; • Other activity.

The last external revaluation was performed as at 31 December 2018 based on the consultations on possible market prices of the Group’s land and buildings provided by independent appraisers, having appropriate recognized professional qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain category. The valuation was performed using the comparable price method (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). Significant unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in price per square meter/are. For the purpose of financial statements, the management considers if there are any indications that the carrying value of land and buildings is significantly different from the market value on an annual basis. To verify management assessment, every five years external valuation report by appraiser is performed. If the buildings and land were stated at cost model, their residual value as at 31 December 2021 would be equal to EUR 1,670 thousand (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 1,811 thousand). As at 31 December 2021, the acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted to EUR 2,660 thousand, (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 2,228 thousand). As at 31 December 2021, land and buildings, including investment property, with the net carrying amount of EUR 31,400 thousand were pledged to the banks (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 30,002 thousand).

Intangible Assets (continued) Amortisation is accounted for in the following way: EUR 13 thousand is included under cost of sales, EUR 33 thousand – administrative expenses (in 2020: EUR 21 thousand – under cost of sales, EUR 18 thousand – administrative expenses). The goodwill is related to the subsidiary Alinita UAB (construction: conditioning work CGU). The management has estimated that value in use is higher than the carrying amount; therefore; no impairment was recognized for the goodwill. As at 31 December 2021, acquisition cost of fully amortised intangible assets (but still in use) amounted to EUR 90 thousand, (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 116 thousand). 16.

The Company has no detailed plans regarding the use of the remaining part of the building yet; however, the building is not planned to be further used in the Company’s activities; therefore, the whole building is classified as an investment property. The fair value measurement has been determined by valuation of the building carried out by the independent property appraisers UAB Ober-Haus, having appropriate professional qualification and relevant valuation experience. The discounted cash flow method was used in the valuation (discount rate – 9%, exit yield – 7%, occupation rate 80–90%; the same assumptions were used in 2020 and 2019). If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), then investment property fair value would decrease approximately by EUR 100 thousand and if exit yield would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed) fair value of investment property would decrease by EUR 90 thousand. The identified fair value of the above investment property of EUR 1,420 thousand (in 2020: EUR 1,350 thousand) was attributed to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable lease agreements were the following: EUR 123 thousand in less than one year, EUR 165 thousand between one and five years (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 91 thousand in less than one year, EUR 64 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from the hotel premises rent in 2021 amounted to EUR 102 thousand (in 2020: EUR 99 thousand) and was accounted for under other income (see Note 10). The Group reclassified the operational buildings, storages and other premises to investment property that are rented for third parties. Estimated fair value of these buildings as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 262 thousand, which was evaluated in accordance with the reports of independent real estate appraisers and a percentage of rented space. The assessment of assets was carried out by UAB Corporation Matininkai. Assets were evaluated using comparable and income methods, with regard to the larger value. An average discount rate of 11.91% was applied to income method in accordance with weighted average cost of capital. The management assessed that the fair value of the investment property did not change significantly in 2021 and 2020. Expected rental receivables of this investment property under non-cancellable contracts as at 31 December 2021 amounted to: EUR 62 thousand in less than one year, EUR 120 thousand – between one and five years (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 64 thousand in less than one year, EUR 129 thousand – between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2021 amounted to EUR 60 thousand (in 2020: EUR 63 thousand) and was accounted under other income. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 51 16.

Following reclassification of certain assets, accounted for as assets used in Group of companies, the fair value of remaining investment property as at 31 December 2021 was estimated at EUR 29,895 thousand. N 2021, these assets were measured at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy on investment property, and an increase in value of EUR 2,433 was accounted for under other income (note 11). The management considered the consultation of the independent appraiser (Ober-Haus Nekilnojamas Turtas) on the fair value of the project as of 30 November 2021, and the management’s estimation of the changes in the fair value during December when determining the fair value of this project. Key assumptions used by the management in the estimation of the recoverable value of investment as of 31 December 2021 were as follows: discount rate – 8% (pre-tax), lease of premises – 84%, and leasing cost – 12.20–15.00 EUR/sq. m. per month. At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable lease agreements for office premises were as follows: EUR 1,676 thousand in less than one year, EUR 4,801 thousand between one and five years (in 2020: EUR 1,044 thousand in less than one year, EUR 5,206 thousand between one and five years).In 2021, lease income comprised EUR 1,093 thousand and was accounted under sales revenue (in 2020: EUR 444 thousand). As at 31 December 2021, the total fair value of the investment property was estimated at EUR 31,400 thousand (in 2020: EUR 28,335 thousand) and was attributed to Level 3 in fair value hierarchy. 17.

In addition, the Group has guarantees issued by insurance companies for the amount of EUR 13,417 thousand, which are also related to liabilities in the construction contracts (in 2020: EUR 15,046). The guarantees expire in the period from 1 January 2022 to 17 December 2024. No additional liabilities are recorded in respect of these guarantees in the financial statements other than estimated warranty reserve (Note 24). Property with a carrying amount of EUR 35,975 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (EUR 30,002 thousand as at 31 December 2020) has been pledged to banks for the guarantee limit issued and guarantees issued by bank. The guarantee limit amounts to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount as at 31 December 2021 is EUR 8,013 thousand. The guarantee limit agreement is effective until 30 June 2023 with the possibility to issue guarantees until 30 June 2023 that would be valid for 3 years following their date of issue. Guarantees are valid for 5 years following their date of issue if the amount does not exceed EUR 1,500 thousand. As at 31 December 2020, the guarantee limit amount was EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 7,842 thousand. Legal contingencies The Group is involved in below described material legal cases: (1) The Competition Council has made a decision as of 20 December 2017 „Regarding Irdaiva UAB and PST AB actions in joint participation in public tenders of buildings renovation and modernization works meeting the requirements of 5th article of the Competition law of the Republic of Lithuania”. Based on the Competition Council decision, joint activity agreement signed between the Company and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders organised by UAB Vilniaus Vystymo Kompanija intended to limit competition and violated the requirements of Article 5.1 of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania. A fine was set to the Company in total amount of EUR 8,514 thousand. The Company disputed the decision of the Competition Council regarding the fine imposed and based on the assessment of the management of all know facts and circumstances when preparing the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, the management believed that it is more likely than not that the Company will receive a positive decision and did not account for any provision related to the decision made by the Competition Council as at 31 December 2019. On 3 June 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the Company against the decision of the Competition Council. As a consequence, the Company recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8,514 thousand (Note 8) and related interest charge amounting to EUR 1,385 thousand (Note 11), and the bailiff enforcement fee amounting to EUR 396 thousand (Note8). The Company recognised the full amounts of fine, interest and enforcement fees in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, however the management took additional legal actions to reduce the interest and the enforcement fee amounts, as further AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 58 described below. The final outcome of the dispute over the size of interest expenses cannot be reasonably determined at this stage. The Tax Authority informed the participants involved in the enforcement process by the letter No 21915 (individual administrative act) of 12 August 2020 on the decision to set the payment of fines and interest imposed on the Company in equal parts for a period of eight years. The Tax Authority also stated that the bailiff's enforcement fees should not be included in the payment schedule. A draft settlement agreement for implementation in the enforcement process is currently being submitted to the Tax Authority for approval. The Tax Authority informed the Company that it had applied to the European Commission for notification of state aid. The European Commission’s decision is expected in the spring of this year. Upon receipt of a positive decision of the European Commission, the Company will have to agree the final terms of the settlement agreement with the State Tax Authority, and the settlement agreement signed by the parties will have to be approved by the court. Meanwhile the Company fulfils its obligations and pays the fine imposed by the Competition Council in line with the 8-year fine payment schedule, although the Tax Authority has left a right to change the schedule if changes in circumstances appear. Also the Company’s assets with the residual value of EUR 3,057 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (EUR 3,578 thousand as at 31 December 2020) was arrested as a guarantee for fulfilment of the obligations. Additionally, one civil cases is currently pending in the courts regarding interest charge and enforcement fees, as described further. In relation to the claim regarding interests in the amount of EUR 1,385 thousand, the Company believes that the amount of the calculated interest and time limits for its calculation had to be specified in the enforcement order, i.e. the decision of the Competition Council of 9 June 2020. In addition, statutory interest must be calculated in accordance with Article 39(2) of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania, i.e. interest must be accrued until the fine is paid to the state budget and no longer than 180 days. In this case, interest shall amount to EUR 252 thousand. The bailiff's order regarding the enforcement fees in amount of EUR 396 thousand is also disputed in the court. In the Company’s view, the enforcement fees are clearly excessive. In the disputes concerning interest and enforcement fees, the court has granted interim measures, i. e. the recovery of interest and enforcement fees has been suspended. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-8648-452/2020 [2YT-230- 452/2021] regarding the bailiff’s orders by which the interest payable and the enforcement fees were calculated under the Decision No 2S-11(2017) of 20 December 2017 of the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dismissed the appeal by an order of 13 January 2021. This order was appealed by bringing a separate appeal on 20 January 2021. By order of 20 April 2021, the Panevėžys Regional Court upheld the decision of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court unchanged. This decision was appealed in cassation. The hearing will be held at the Supreme Court of Lithuania on 14 April 2022.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Group to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments not carried at fair value: Cash Cash represents cash at banks and on hand stated at value equal to the fair value. Receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables and loans granted is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of short-term trade and other receivables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial. The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as discounting effect was determined to be not material. AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Consolidated Financial Statements 61 29 Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the loans are subject of market level variable interest. Accounts payable, loans and borrowings, and lease liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of current trade payables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial. The fair value of other current payables including fine imposed by the Competition Council is considered to approximate to their carrying value due to short contractual maturity term. The fair value of borrowings (overdraft) was estimated to approximate carrying value as it is subject to variable market interest rates. 30 Non-Controlling Interest As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas held 95.6%, 68.3% and 87.5% ordinary registered shares of subsidiaries UAB Vekada, UAB PST Investicijos, the Group subsidiary OOO Teritorija, respectively, and is considered a controlling shareholder of the subsidiaries.

Increased geopolitical tensions in the region and in the European Union (EU) following Russia’s attack on Ukraine undoubtedly affect the construction and real estate sector. Today it is very difficult to predict the impact of the situation on the construction sector. Ukraine is a significant supplier of raw materials, therefore the war in Ukraine has a significant impact on the material supply chain and price increases. Having assessed the risk, the Group ceased ordering raw materials from third countries, including Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, however, a significant part of reinforcing bars, crude steel, wood and silicon blocks were imported from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. To ensure timely supply of materials, the Group companies are looking for alternative sources of supply and reorganizing the supply chain to import raw materials from other countries. The construction sector and other Group companies are also heavily influenced by the increased energy costs. It is likely that disturbances in the financial market, rising prices of raw materials and energy, will encourage customers to review or hold back investments with some projects being suspended or delayed. This may weaken the construction output. The Group thoroughly monitors and evaluates the ongoing processes in the market in order to ensure a seamless continuation of activities. AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas and Group of companies will look for solutions to cushion the negative impact of war on the Group’s activities and will seek to ensure the optimisation of costs of implemented projects, ongoing investments and routine activities.

This digital model is used in the tender preparation and preparation for construction stages, delivering supplies to the site, monitoring the progress of planned and completed activities. 13. Operation plans and forecasts of the Company and the Group The economy that has not been able to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will face a difficult period again in 2022. The increased geopolitical tension in the region and the European Union (EU) following the Russia's invasion of Ukraine are undoubtedly affecting the construction and real estate sectors. Thus far, it is very difficult to forecast the impact of the situation on the construction sector. As Ukraine is a major supplier of raw materials, the war currently taking place in Ukraine has a significant impact on the supply chain of materials and price increase. The Group has considered the risks and does not order materials from any third countries, including Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. However, most of the Lithuanian suppliers from which the Group purchases materials, imported most of reinforcement bars, raw steel, timber and silicate blocks from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. To ensure the timely delivery of materials, the Company and the companies of the Group are looking for alternatives and reorganizing the supply chain of materials to other countries. The rise in energy prices also has a significant impact on the construction sector and the companies of the Group. It is likely that due to the turmoil in the financial markets, rising prices for raw materials and energy, clients may review or suspend investments resulting in suspension or delay of some projects. This might mean reduction in the volume of construction. The Group and the Company responsibly monitors and assesses the processes ongoing in the market to ensure the smooth continuity of operations. Panevezio statybos trestas AB and the companies of the Group will search for solutions to absorb the negative effects of the war on the operations of the Group, seek to ensure that the costs of the projects in progress as well as investments and operating activities are optimal. In 2022, the Company and the Group will make every effort to assess and manage the risks that have arisen, find new markets and increase the cost-effectiveness of new projects. The Company and the Group will continue developing real estate in order to achieve a return on investments. 79 14.

Information on extent of risk and risk management Risk management is a part of strategic management and integral to the day-to-day operations of the Group. In managing risks, the main objective of the Group is to identify higher and significant risks and manage them in the optimal way. The following financial risks are faced within the Group: credit, liquidity, market and operational. The Board is responsible for setting up and maintaining the risk management structure. The risk management policy of the Group is aimed at identifying and analysing the risks faced by the Group, introduction and maintenance of appropriate limits and controls. The risk management policy and risk management systems are reviewed at regular intervals to reflect changes in market conditions and operation of the Group. The Group seeks to create a disciplined and constructive environment for risk management where all employees know their roles and responsibilities. Based on the credit risk policy established by the Group, standard payments and terms are only offered after credit standing of each new client has been assessed. The potential credit risk for the clients of the Group and the Company is managed through continuous monitoring of outstanding balances. The aim to ensure that the services are provided to reliable clients and do not exceed the permissible credit risk limit is continuously maintained. The clients failing to meet the established limit may only make purchases with the Group after paying prepayments. The Group manages liquidity risk to ensure, as far as possible, sufficient liquidity, which allows fulfilling its obligations under both normal and complex conditions without incurring unacceptable losses and without facing the risk to lose reputation of the Group. The Company and the Group strives to maintain sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents or secure of appropriate credit instruments so as to fulfil their obligations. The market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, for example, changes in exchange rates and interest rates will affect the result of the Group or the value of available financial instruments. The purpose of the market risk management is to manage open positions of risk in order to optimize returns. 82 Business risk is related to the Group's entry into new markets, segments, management of available inventories and investments, and execution of construction contracts. One of the peculiarities related to construction activities is that the fulfilment of concluded construction contracts is a long-term process, which makes the sector inert to changes in the economic environment. For this reason, both positive and negative changes reach the economic environment in the construction sector with considerable delay. In order to manage business risk, the Company and the Group seek to diversify their sources of revenue. To this end, orders are being sought and contracts are being concluded in both private and public sectors, and markets are being searched not only in Lithuania but in other countries as well. The companies of the Group operate in different sectors, such as construction, real estate development, production and engineering network installation.

The Company implements construction projects for industrial, engineering, environmental and residential buildings. Before starting new projects, the Company and the companies of the Group make a thorough analysis of the project specifics and only after are confident that the environment is sufficiently stable and a competent team is collected, final decisions are made. The accounts of the Company are kept and financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for application in the EU. The annual financial statements are audited by the independent auditors selected by the General Meeting of Shareholders. This procedure ensures relevance and transparency of the data provided in the financial statements.

For the purposes of operational risk management, the Group implements appropriate measures to ensure functioning of the internal control system and appropriate co-operation with relevant third parties. The main elements of internal control applied in the Group are control of operations and accounting, limits of decision-making powers and their control, separation of business decision-making and control functions, etc. The aim is to minimize the risk of legal compliance and ensure that the activities carried out comply with the applicable legislation.

As every year, in 2021 the Company monitored the EMS indicators and performed measurements: amount of waste, amount of hazardous chemicals used, incidents related to soil pollution with oil products, rainwater pollution, emissions from internal combustion engines, air pollution with particulate matter, noise, indoor dust, street pollution with dirt/dust, consumption of electricity, water, fuel, etc. The use of hazardous chemicals in construction sites is being reduced by replacing them with less hazardous ones. In its operation the company uses only green electricity produced from renewable energy sources. Panevezio statybos trestas AB has a responsible approach on the issues of climate change and is not only a consumer of electricity, but also a producer. Panevezio statybos trestas AB operates a 200 kW solar power plant generating approximately 190 thousand kWh of the electric power annually, which makes about 30 per cents of the electric power consumed by the production facilities. In addition to that, the Company operates three power plants of 30 kW each, together they generate about 80,000 kWh of renewable electric power, which is supplied to the electric grid. In 2021, a new 150 kW solar power plant was installed and started in one of the companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB. It is planned that it will produce about 80 – 90 per cents of the electric power required for production facilities. The amount of green electric power generated from the renewable electric sources over the year 2021 totalled 263.549 thousand kWh (24.9 thousand kWh in 2020), which prevented 1028.79 t of CO2 emissions (97.2 t of CO 2 in 2020). 89 In 2021, the company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB, installed and started using a bioboiler for heating of premises. 30 per cents of the biofuel required for operation of this boiler is obtained from production timber waste, which does not need to be disposed of. The MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex400 MC Wheel Washing System has been successfully in use. The closed-cycle wheel washing system not only reduces street pollution with dirt, prevents contaminated water from entering urban sewage networks, but also does not interfere with other road users when cleaning roads and is an alternative to sweeping brooms that cause dust and particulate matter spread in the city. The accounting of generated waste is performed in the GPAIS module: https://www.gpais.eu. The Group sorted out the following quantities of waste for recycling and reuse, as well as secondary raw materials: 2021 2020 Group incl. Company Group incl.

Where possible, environmentally friendly building materials are used. The changed climatic conditions are taken into account in the construction process of the new buildings. As the temperature conditions change, the needs for indoor ventilation, heating and cooling also change. Therefore, new technological and architectural solutions are being implemented. The construction sector uses very unsustainable CO 2 -neutral materials: steel, cement, glass, etc., therefore solutions are being sought to make the construction process more environmentally friendly, i. e. use of organic materials. Designers apply the highest standards for design and construction of a building, contributing to environmental sustainability and healthy work environment. In the design process much attention is paid to ensuring indoor air quality, intelligent lighting in accordance with good international practices, sound resistance that retains external noise. The B2EAM New Construction Very Good certificate confirming the above measures has been awarded to the Business Centre U219. This certificate also acknowledges the responsible approach of developers to the environment and human health, and guarantees long-term returns. The report has been prepared based on the Communication from the European Commission - Guidelines on Non-Financial Reporting (2017-C 215-01). 90 Taxonomy Overview Regulation (EU) 2020/852, also known as the Taxonomy Regulation, establishes a common nomenclature for the classification of sustainable economic activities and analysis of investments to be considered as contributing to environmental objectives. The main activity of the Company is the construction and design of various buildings, structures, equipment and communications and other objects. The Company carries out work on the basis of detailed designs approved by the clients and does not directly affect any sustainable economic activities set out in the regulation. As the Group will be obliged to provide information in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation, we have carried out a preliminary assessment of whether/how the activities contribute to one of the six environmental objectives set. 1. The new buildings construction of which is currently started by the Company are of the A++ energy efficiency class. The buildings of the A ++ energy efficiency class use almost no thermal energy, which contributes to the climate change mitigation. 2. In its operations the Company uses only green electric power generated from renewable electric power sources. A part of the consumed electric power is produced by the Company itself, and another part is purchased from the suppliers of green electric power. operates a 200 kW solar power plant generating approximately 190 thousand kWh of the electric power annually, which makes about 30 per cents of the electric power consumed by the production facilities. In addition to that, the Company operates three power plants of 30 kW each, together they generate about 80,000 kWh of renewable electric power, which is supplied to the electric grid. A new 150 kW solar power plant was installed and started in one of the companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB.

These are renewable energy sources, which allow significantly reducing the use of fossil fuels and contribute to reduction of the greenhouse effect. 3. For construction of new buildings, sustainable materials are used more often. After the life cycle of the building these materials could be reused for a new life cycle or be environmentally friendly and do not result in pollutions by means of recycling. One such material is timber. Skydmedis UAB, the company of the Group, uses timber panels for the construction of houses. 4. Renewable car fleet. We give up old polluting cars by adding new, less polluting cars to the fleet. 30 per cents of the vehicles owned by the Group comply with the requirements of the Euro 6 emission standard.
