| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We have chosen the Group's and Company's equity as the benchmark because, in our view, it is an appropriate measure of underlying performance and the benchmark against which the performance of the Group, the Company and other companies in this industry is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.

As at 31 December 2019 the number of employees of the Group and the Company was 2 and 1, respectively. As at 31 December 2018 the number of employees of the Group and the Company was 2 and 1, respectively.
According to the Law on Companies of Republic of Lithuania, the annual financial statements prepared by the Management are authorised by the General Shareholders' meeting. The shareholders hold the power not to approve the annual financial statements and the right to request new financial statements to be prepared.
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 are as follows:
The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Group/Company has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2019:
The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, that are continued to be applied by the Group. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, because the Group and the Company are not party to any agreements as lessee. The Group and the Company did not need to make any adjustments to the accounting for assets held as lessor under operating leases as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. The revised accounting policy for lease income recognition is disclosed in Note 2.13 and revised disclosures is presented in Note 6.
All other amendments adopted as of 1 January 2019 had no impact on the Group's and Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Other amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are adopted by the EU, but not yet effective, are not relevant to the Group and the Company.
Amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are not yet adopted by the EU, are not relevant to the Group and the Company.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.
When the group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.
From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The financial statements are prepared in euro (EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is the Company's and the Group's functional and presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania.
As these financial statements are presented in euro thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.
Land that is held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation is classified as investment properties.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within "Net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property" in the year of retirement or disposal.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Under the equity method, the investment in the subsidiary is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets of the subsidiary. Goodwill relating to a subsidiary is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The statement of comprehensive income reflects the share of the results of operations of the subsidiary. Where there has been a change recognised in the other comprehensive income of the subsidiary, the Company recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the other comprehensive income. Company's share in the changes in the net assets of the subsidiary that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (OCI) of the subsidiary, are recognised in equity. Unrealised gains and losses (unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of asset transferred) resulting from transactions between the Company and the subsidiary are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the subsidiary.
The reporting dates of the subsidiary and the Company are identical and the subsidiary's accounting policies conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss of the Company's investment in its subsidiaries. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in subsidiary is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as being the difference between the recoverable amount of the subsidiary and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the statement of comprehensive income. When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the subsidiary.
Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or financial assets measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
As the business model for the Group's and the Company's financial assets are held to collect contractual cash flows and they are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group and the Company have only financial assets measured at amortised cost. They comprised trade and other receivables, loans granted, cash and cash equivalents. The Group and the Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Financial assets are recognised when the Group/the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group/the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
At initial recognition, the Group/the Company 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 that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and presented as "interest income" in the statement of comprehensive income. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income.
From 1 January 2018, the Group/the Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
The Group/the Company follows a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables:
Loans granted are considered to be low credit risk when they have a low risk of default and the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.
The financial assets are considered as credit-impaired, if objective evidence of impairment exist at the reporting date. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Financial assets are written off, in whole or in part, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.
For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3:
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of rent over a period of 36 months before reporting date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the tenants to settle the receivable. Such forward-looking information would include:
Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank account as well as deposit in bank with an original maturity of three months or less.
The Group recognises a financial liability when it first becomes a party to the contractual rights and obligations in the contract.
All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). Financial liabilities included in trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group's company are classified as operating leases. Payments, including pre-payments, received under operating leases (net of any incentives granted to the lessee) are credited to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group account for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.
See Note 2.13 for the recognition of lease income.
Revenue includes lease income, interest income and other income. Other income includes penalties from tenants for overdue payments.
Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognised as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The Group elected to recognise lease income for variable payment that depends on an index or a rate in the periods in which changes of index or rate occur. Variable lease payments that do not depends on an index or a rate are recognised as lease income in the periods in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. When the Group provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of the incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straightline basis, as a reduction of lease income.
At the commencement date, the Group assesses whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise, or not to exercise, the option, including any expected changes in facts and circumstances from the commencement date until the exercise date of the option.
In the first quarter rental fee, except variable part related to land tax, is invoiced to the tenants. In the fourth quarter variable part of the rent related to land tax is invoiced to the tenants, when State tax authorities provide an estimate of the land tax and land tax expenses are recognised.
Lease income arising from operating leases of land is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. When the Group provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of lease income.
According to agreements land rent consists of two parts – a fixed rent for a year and a variable part equal to land tax paid to the State for the year. In the first quarter fixed rental fee is invoiced to the tenants. In the fourth quarter variable part of the rent is invoiced to the tenants, when State tax authorities provide an estimate of the land tax and the lease income equal to the variable rent amount as well as land tax expenses are recognised.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions. All financial information, including the measure of profit, total assets and total liabilities, is analysed as single reporting segment - agricultural land segment, therefore is not further disclosed in these financial statements.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised directly in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in Lithuania where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The standard income tax rate in Lithuania was 15 % in 2018 and 2019. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be recovered entirely through sale.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Following the provisions of Law on Corporate Income Tax the sale of shares of an entity, registered or otherwise organised in a state of the European Economic Area or in a state with which a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation has been concluded and brought into effect and which is a payer of corporate income tax or an equivalent tax, to another entity or a natural person shall not be taxed where the entity transferring the shares held more than 10% of voting shares in that entity for an uninterrupted period of at least two years. If mentioned condition is met or is expected to be met by the management of the Company, no deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with carrying amounts of these investments.
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 incurred except when the Company 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 only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. From 1 January 2014 current year taxable profit could be decreased by previous year tax losses only up to 70%.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and included in payroll expenses.
The Company and the Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group's position as at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has not made any judgements, which has most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.
Fair value of investment properties was based on the market approach by reference to sales in the market of comparable properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogues transactions in the market. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as land size and productivity.
The fair value of the investment properties as at 31 December 2019 was EUR 14,719 thousand (as at 31 December 2018 – EUR 13,922 thousand) (described in more details in Note 10).
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks and legal risks and managed on an overall Group level by the Management Board. After signing land administration agreement most of operational and legal risks, as well as credit risk are managed by the third party UAB INVL Farmland Management. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks. To limit operational risk, annual documentation reviews are held. This helps to limit legal risks as well in case a dispute arises and all the documentation is in place and of appropriate quality and can be used to prove the rights. Legal risk is limited as well by the fact that counterparties do not grant guarantees on each other.
The Group's and the Company's principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's and the Company's operations. The Group and the Company have various financial assets such as trade and other receivables, loans granted and cash which arise directly from their operations. The Company and the Group have not used any derivative instruments and borrowings so far, as management considered that there is no necessity for them.
The main risks arising from the financial instruments are market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The risks are identified and disclosed below.
Credit risk is the risk one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables and loans granted. As at 31 December 2019 the Group had a significant concentration of credit risk related to two tenants. The balance of trade receivable from tenant A comprise approximately 46% of the Group's total trade receivables, gross (before write off and provision). Impairment loss of EUR 106 thousand for the trade receivable from tenant A was recognised as at 31 December 2019 (approximately 81% of the receivable). The balance of trade receivable from tenant B comprise approximately 27% of the Group's total trade receivables, gross (before write off and provision). The trade receivable from tenant B is secured by pledge of land plots. As at 31 December 2018 the Group had a significant concentration of credit risk related to tenant A, for which the balance of trade receivable accounted for comprise approximately 44% of the Group's total trade receivables, gross (before write off and provision). 70% (EUR 52 thousand) of the receivable from tenant A was provided for in 2018. The credit risk is managed by the third party UAB INVL Farmland Management according to the agreement (Note 7). The third party seeks to ensure that lease contracts are entered into only with lessees with an appropriate credit history.
The maximum exposure to credit risk, impairment of financial assets is disclosed in Notes 12 and 13. In Note 13 is also disclosed credit risk exposure of trade receivable. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania.
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents the Group's and the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
According to the European deposit insurance scheme, cash, cash equivalents and deposits of up to EUR 100 thousand of every legal entity in each bank are covered with insurance. All the Group's and the Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents are covered with the insurance. Therefore, all cash balances have a low credit risk at the reporting date and the impairment loss determined on 12-month expected credit losses is resulted in an immaterial amount.
The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the banks:

Market risk
The Group has no borrowings and loans granted. The Company has loans granted to its subsidiaries with fixed interest rates for one year. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk.
The Group and the Company holds assets and liabilities denominated only in the euro. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.
The Group is not exposed to price risk of financial instruments as it does not hold any equity securities or commodities.
The Group's and the Company's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents. The liquidity risk of the Group and the Company is controlled on an overall Group level. The Group and the Company have not been facing any liquidity issues so far. The proceeds from rent and cash balances are sufficient to settle all liabilities.
The Group's liquidity ratio (total current assets / total current liabilities) as at 31 December 2019 was approximately 2,29 (1,47 as at 31 December 2018). The Company's liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2019 was approximately 0,79 (1,51 as at 31 December 2018).

The primary objective of the capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company maintain a strong credit health and healthy capital ratios in order to support their business and maximise shareholder value. The Company's management supervises the investments so that they are in compliance with requirements applied to the capital, specified in the appropriate legal acts, as well as provide the Group's management with necessary information.
The Group's and the Company's capital comprises share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group and the Company manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions and specific risks of their activity. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year 2019 and 2018.
The Company is obliged to keep its equity ratio at not less than 50 % of its share capital, as imposed by the Law on Companies of Republic of Lithuania. The Company and the subsidiaries complied with this requirement as at 31 December 2019 and 2018, except one dormant subsidiary as at 31 December 2018 and 2019. There are no plans yet to rectify the situation.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total balance | |

There were no transfers of assets between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2019 and 2018.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group's and the Company's statements of financial position.
The Group's and the Company's principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans granted, trade and other payables.
The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2019 and 2018 reasonably approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.
The carrying amount of loans granted by the Company approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted in line with market rates changes. Their fair value is based on cash flows discounted using 4.5 % interest rate as at 31 December 2019 and 2018 It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

Management of the Company has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. All financial information, including the measure of profit, total assets and total liabilities, is analysed as a single reporting segment - agricultural land segment, therefore is not further disclosed in these financial statements. The Company and its subsidiaries are domiciled in Lithuania. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania. Therefore, the management has neither analysed revenue, nor other financial indicators by geographical areas. All revenue of the Group is received from one type of service – rent of land. Therefore, the Group has not disclosed any breakdown of revenue by product and services type and by geographical areas.
In 2019 is one customer from which the Group has received approximately 10% of its revenue. In 2018 is two customers from which each the Group has received approximately 11% of its revenue.
The Group has entered into leases of the Group's investment properties under operating lease agreements with rentals payable yearly in two parts. First part of rent is payable until 1 April according to the most Group's lease agreements. Second part of rent related to land tax is payable in November – December. Most of the agreements have remaining terms of between 1 and 5 years. The most Group's lease agreements have clause for indexation on consumer price index or unilaterally right to increase rent by notice. Approximately 50% of land plots is leased with clause of agreement that lessee could have to pay surcharge that depends on milling wheat futures price change. Although the Group is exposed to changes in the residual value at the end of the current leases, the Group typically enters into new operating leases and therefore will not immediately realise any reduction in residual value at the end of these leases. Expectations about the future residual values are reflected in the fair value of the land.
Cancellable lease agreements can be cancelled under the following terms:
In 2019 lease income relating to variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate was EUR 29 thousand (2018: EUR 25 thousand).

| Group | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||

| Unrealised gains and losses for the period included within 'Net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property' in the statement of comprehensive income |

Investment properties are stated at fair value and are valued by accredited valuer UAB korporacija Matininkai using sales comparison method, except land plots, which would be taken for the public needs (more described below). The valuations were performed in December 2019 and in December 2018.
The fair value represents the price that would be received selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An investment property's fair value was based on the market approach by reference to sales in the market of comparable properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogues transactions in the market. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as land plot size and productivity. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per hectare.
There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period.
In January 2017 the Group received letters from Ministry of Transport and Communications informing about possibility to take for the purpose of Rail Baltica project 6 land plots owned by the Group. The Group had no right to sell, pledge, restructure or in any other way restrict rights to those land plots. The Group was informed that 11.23 ha of above mentioned land plots would be taken for the public needs. The ownership of these land plots was transferred to the State in first half-year of 2019. The Ministry engaged a qualified valuer who valued the land plots at amount of EUR 62 thousand, which was recognised on the Group's statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018. The Group had no objections to the results of valuation of four out of six land plots, whereas for the remaining land plots (with the carrying value of EUR 18 thousand) the Group is litigated valuation and finally agreed on valuation of EUR 23 thousand.
In 2nd Quarter 2019 the Group received letters from Ministry of Transport and Communications informing about possibility to take for the purpose of construction and reconstruction of local roads, related to project of Rail Baltica, 8 land plots owned by the Group (77.2 ha, with the carrying amount of EUR 403 thousand). The Group has no right to sell, pledge, restructure or in any other way restrict rights to those land plots. The Group was informed that 6.56 ha of above mentioned land plots would be taken for the public needs (the value of the land plots in the Group's statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019 was EUR 36 thousand).The Republic of Lithuania plans to finalize procedures of land redemption for public needs in the first half year of 2020. Only after the procedures have been finalized will be clear the size of the compensation received by the Group.
On 1 May 2014 changes to the Agricultural Land Acquisition temporary law entered into force, providing restrictions of the purchase of agricultural land (including restriction of purchase of shares in the legal entity owning agricultural land). These restrictions mean that the Group cannot purchase additional agricultural land and/or acquire shares in entities owning agricultural land. As a result of restrictions the land sale market in Lithuania became less liquid.
There were no other restrictions on the realisation of investment properties or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposals during 2019 and 2018. No contractual obligations to purchase investment properties existed at the end of the period.

The contractual maturity of loans granted to subsidiaries is 31 December 2019 according to the agreements, but the Company classifies them as long term, because intends to prolong them on maturity date. Effective interest rate of loans is 4.5 %. At each year end maturity of the loans granted is prolonged for one extra year and new market interest rate is determined.
While the loans granted to the subsidiaries are the main liabilities of the subsidiaries and the fair values of investment properties owned by the subsidiaries are approximately 2 – 5.5 times higher than the carrying amounts of the loans granted, they were considered as low credit risk financial assets at the reporting date. This is because even if loans granted were covered in the case of forced sale of investment properties, the Company considers that the loss given default would amount to zero. As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company's loans granted were neither overdue nor impaired and they had no history of counterparty defaults. The Company's policy is to grant loans only to the subsidiaries controlled by it. The maximum credit risk as at the financial reporting date is the carrying amount of each category of amounts receivable as indicated above. The Company does not hold any collateral, but investment properties owned by the subsidiaries are not pledged to any other party and in fact secure loans granted.
The carrying amount of loans granted by the Company approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed at the end of each year and adjusted when market rates change. Their value is based on cash flows discounted using 4.5 % and interest rate as at 31 December 2019 and 2018. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland was established on 29 April 2014 on the basis of a part of assets splitoff from one of the leading asset management groups in the Baltic region Invalda INVL. INVL Baltic Farmland manages shares of 18 companies investing into agricultural land that are owning about 3 thousand hectares of agricultural land in Lithuania. More than 98% of land is rented to farmers and agricultural companies.
Shares of INVL Baltic Farmland are listed on Nasdaq Vilnius stock exchange since 4 June 2014.
The administration of the INVL Baltic Farmland group owned land, according to the basic property administration agreement signed on 30 June 2015, is transmitted to the owned company INVL Farmland Management. Management fees paid for INVL Farmland Management are 7 percent of annual rental income of the companies - land owners as well as 0.5 percent of INVL Baltic Farmland market capitalization. Moreover there is a success fee which becomes valid only when consolidated equity of companies - land owners annual growth is higher than 5 percent plus inflation (High-Water Mark principle is applicable). Success fee is 20 percent of the consolidated equity in excess of the above mentioned benchmark.
As the company has signed the property administration agreement it employs a minimum number of people.
It is prohibited for one person to have more than 500 hectares of land in Lithuania since 2014. That's why INVL Baltic Farmland development is limited and the generated funds are directed to the payment of dividends to shareholders.
Investments into agricultural land are classified as long term and are recommended for investors who are satisfied with the return on rent and possible income from increase of agricultural land prices.
INVL Baltic Farmland has 100% in 18 companies owning about 3 thousand hectares of agricultural land in the most fertile regions of Lithuania. Companies - land owners and joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland, whose shareholder is Invalda INVL – one of the leading asset management groups in the Baltic region, on 30 June 2015 have signed a basic property administration agreement with INVL Farmland Management which administrates agricultural land owned by the companies in order to ensure steady growth of income for the shareholders and the value of the land.

*As of 2019 gross salary was increased by 1.289 times - according to the law of the Republic of Lithuania, the employer taxes was shifted to the employee.

According to data from the Department of Statistics, in December 2019, the annual inflation rate in Lithuania was 2.7%; this figure was 1.9% in December 2018. Despite the fact that the overall annual inflation rate in Lithuania remains relatively stable, its constituent parts have changed in 2019. Comparison of the two years (2018 and 2019) shows that a greater price growth was recorded in 2019. The changes in the prices were significantly affected by the prices of vegetables that increased in the spring and summer, which growth was likely due to the weather conditions unfavourable for agricultural activities. In 2019, the average annual inflation rate was recorded in all EU countries (2019, compared to 2018). The figure was 1.5% for the EU and 1.2% for the eurozone.
In 2019, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) at the prices of that period totalled EUR 48.3 billion, the Lithuanian Department of Statistics reported. Compared to 2018, the real change of the GDP, following elimination of the effect of seasons and the number of business days, was 3.9%. In Q4 2019, the GDP at the prices of that period totalled EUR 12.6 billion, the Lithuanian Department of Statistics reported. Compared to Q3 2019, the real change of the GDP, following elimination of the effect of seasons and the number of business days, was 1.3%. The greatest positive effect on the change of the GDP was due to the added value created by industrial and service companies. The economic growth in 2019 was somewhat more rapid compared to 2018, and the growth of the GDP was 4.3% in Q1, 4.0% in Q2, 3.7% in Q3 and 3.7% in Q4.
According to the Bank of Lithuania, despite the continuing fairly rapid growth of the Lithuanian economy, certain signs of a slowdown are evident. It is currently forecast that the Lithuanian economy, which grew by 3.7% in 2019, will grow by 2.5% next year. The European Commission forecasts that the economic growth in Lithuania will slow down in 2020 due to the slow development of the economies of key export partners and that the GDP will increase by up to 2.5%. The main risks to the country's economy still include the growing tension related to international trade and the slowdown of economic growth among some of Lithuania's key foreign trade partners. As noted by the Bank of Lithuania, the activity of the country's economy is likely to decrease further. The poor and disappointing global economic development result in the cautious planning of investments in the open economic sector. Despite the fact that, to date, exports have grown more than foreign markets did, the uncertainty as to whether the occupied export market shares will continue to rapidly increase or not persists. A more moderate growth of both investments and exports (and the real economic indicators that have increased the most in the past year) is expected next year. There is also the assumption that the less active use of EU support funds will also affect the scope of investments.
In 2019, agricultural products worth EUR 2.619 billion were produced in Lithuania. The value of agricultural produce at the prices of that period increased by 14.8%. The value of the plant breeding produce increased by 22.9%, and that of the animal husbandry produce increased by 2.8%. This was affected by the 18.5% increase in the volume of the plant growing produce and the 5% increase in the purchase prices of the plant growing products. The volume of the animal husbandry produce decreased by 0.1%, but the purchase prices of this produce increased by 3.1%. The purchase prices increased the most for fruits and vegetables (33.2%), potatoes (31.6 %) and pigs (17.3%) and decreased the most for rye (5.4%) and cattle (5.2%).
Analysis of the long-term trends shows that the situation in the agricultural sector is improving, and the performance in this field is improving throughout the country. The fertility rate for grain has nearly doubled in the past ten years. The added value created by the sector has also increased considerably. All these developments encourage investments in the agricultural equipment, increase of farm sizes, and development and application of expertise and new technology intended for the upgrade of agricultural sector. Considerable support from the EU structural funds has been allocated to the agricultural and food sector and rural development in the past decade. The increase in the volume of the provided support normally results in the increase of land prices and land rents.
The growth of prices of agricultural land in the past years was significantly affected by the consistently improving national economy, the growing incomes of the market players and the activity of the market players in more expensive territories provided with well-developed communications and road and services infrastructure. The prices of plots of agricultural land are also affected by the high profitability of agricultural activities supported by EU grants for agriculture as well as the increase in the sizes of farms resulting from acquisition or lease of additional agricultural land. The supply of plots of agricultural land in Lithuania is fairly active, but the selection of land plots suitable for farming is becoming scarce. Major farmers increase their facilities by purchasing small land plots, but the supply of these shrinks each year. Fertile land plots are sold very quickly.
The restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land enforced in Lithuania and the consistently growing purchase price of plots of agricultural land raise the demand for leased land and the lease rates. Young farmers, farmers with large farm areas

and agricultural companies are very interested in the lease of land plots since after plots of agricultural land are leased a higher probability to subsequently purchase them appears in case land owners wish to sell their land plots.
More stringent amendments to the Provisional Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective in May 2014. These amendments do not allow related parties to acquire more than 500 hectares of land from the State or other persons. A new wording of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective on 1 January 2018. According to the State Enterprise Agricultural Information and Rural Business Centre, the amendments to the law were aimed to deal with the problem of land purchase and concentration that is encountered both in the EU and globally. In the new wording of the law, the legislator has set as one of the objectives of the law the restriction on land purchase and concentration and land price speculations and the assurance of the transparency of land purchase agreements. The wording of the law enforced prior to 2018 only permitted the purchase of agricultural land to a person that has professional skills and competence, i.e. satisfies the eligibility requirements prescribed by the law. The new wording of the law enforced from 1 January 2018 does not contain any eligibility requirements. The list of persons that have the pre-emptive right to purchase private agricultural land was adjusted in the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land. The new wording of the law ensures the right to purchase land for persons engaged in agricultural activities. A complex sale of land was one of the ways to diverge from the earlier Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land. The new wording of the law provides for the prohibition to land plot owners to set the condition of sale of a land plot providing that a person that enjoys the pre-emptive right only may avail of it if it acquires the land plot together with the other land plots offered for sale. This provision is no longer effective when land plots offered for sale have adjacent borders. The new wording of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land effective from 1 January 2018 provides that agreements of purchase and sale of land may only be executed with payments made via bank transfers. The aim of this provision is to exclude bad faith agreements and transactions. The new wording of the law also provides that related parties that manage in the Lithuanian territory by right of ownership agricultural land plots with an area greater than specified in the law (300 hectares, in certain cases 500 hectares) may conclude agreements of transfer of agricultural land plots with each other provided that the total area of the agricultural land acquired by such related parties does not increase as a result of such agreements and that the area of the agricultural land of each of these related parties does not exceed 500 hectares.
INVL Baltic Farmland owns 100% of the shares of 18 private joint-stock companies, which, taken together, have purchased a total of more than 3,000 hectares of agricultural land in Lithuania.
Starting from 30 June 2015, when the simple administration agreement was signed with INVL Farmland Management, a company managed by Invalda INVL (one of the largest asset management group in the Baltic countries), the administration of land plots was assigned to this company. The term of validity of the simple administration agreement referred to above will expire on 31 December 2020.
The enforced more stringent requirements for the acquisition of land have resulted in that companies of the INVL Baltic Farmland group are no longer able to directly invest in agricultural land in Lithuania and are unable to overtake the control of companies that manage agricultural land.
INVL Baltic Farmland is seeking to earn in the long run from the increase in land rent and from the growth of the value of land. According to the data of the property valuation conducted in Q4 2019, the value of the land plots has increased in the course of the year by 6.2% and reached EUR 14.72 million. One hectare is valuated on average at EUR 4,740.

INVL Baltic Farmland, AB did not deliver major researches and expansion projects in 2019.
Agricultural land prices in Lithuania are among the lowest in the European Union, and much lower than in neighbouring Poland. This is caused by increased land fragmentation and other reasons.
After recent market turmoil, investors are paying more and more attention on capital preservation. Investment in agricultural land is backed by assets which has only a small possibility of devaluation. Historical data shows that land, in the long term, is characterized by strong core capital preservation features. Unlike investments in exhaustible metals, oil and gas resources, a well-managed agricultural land is a completely renewable resource, which remains productive forever.
Agricultural land, as an asset class, has a positive correlation with inflation. Historically, agricultural land values rose faster than inflation, therefore agricultural land is an effective insurance against inflation and a capital preservation tool. It may be attractive to investors, who are worried about governments' inflationary policies.
Unlike other popular insurance against inflation measures, such as precious metals, land provides a regular income to the investor, which, in the low interest environment, is often higher than the deposit or bond interest. Although land investment does not bring the highest income in the real estate sector, not depreciating assets with strong price growth potential and close to 100 % occupation (unlike commercial real estate, high-quality agricultural land demand is always high, regardless of the economic environment) generate the income.
By placing agricultural land in a diversified portfolio, investors can reduce the risk of income shortage at a time when other assets generate little or no income. While the long-term rise in agricultural commodity prices positively affect the value of land, short-term fluctuations in the price of production are assumed by the farmer rather than the landowner.
In developed countries agricultural land had higher profits than other asset classes, including equities, bonds and commercial real estate, despite the lower risk (measured as the standard deviation of the annual return).
Agricultural land yield has a low or even negative correlation with traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds, and a small positive correlation with residential and commercial real estate. These features make farmland an attractive diversification tool that can reduce the impact of general market fluctuations on diversified portfolio.
Investment in agricultural land is classified as a real estate, but has unique features. This allowed agricultural land to protect itself from extreme falls in the value of assets, which were experienced by residential and commercial property during the crisis.

Information, provided in this section, should not be considered complete and covering all aspects of the risk factors associated with the activity and securities of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland invests in agricultural land in Lithuania through its owned private companies. In 1 January 2014 changes to the Agricultural Land Acquisition temporary law (No. IX-1314) entered into force, providing restrictions of the purchase of agricultural land (including restriction of purchase of shares in the legal entity owning agricultural land). This law was changed from 1 January 2018 by Agricultural Land Acquisition law (No. XIII-801). These restrictions mean that the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland and its owned private companies will not be able to purchase agricultural land in Lithuania additionally and/or acquire shares in companies owning agricultural land.
Prohibition stated in the law can reduce the amount of buyers of agricultural land, owned by subsidiaries of the public jointstock company INVL Baltic Farmland, and thus the liquidity and price of the asset.
The value of the investment in agricultural land can vary in the short term, depending on the harvest, prices of agricultural products, local demand and supply fluctuations, competition between farmers and financial situation. Investment in agricultural land should be carried out in the medium and long term, so that investor can avoid the short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is connected with the long-term risks. After failure of investments or under other ill-affected circumstances (having been unable to pay for the creditors) the bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.
Agricultural products and other commodities prices are historically characterized by very large fluctuations, on which, in many cases, depends the price of agricultural land. The main factor affecting profitability of agricultural business is the price of the crop (wheat, canola, etc.), but fuel, labor, fertilizers' and other commodity prices also affect the cost of agricultural activity, therefore their increase lowers profit margins and reduces the ability to pay higher prices for agricultural land leases. If high fuel, fertilizer and labor costs coincide with the fall of agricultural output prices, farmers and investors in the agricultural sector may suffer a loss.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will seek to lease its owned agricultural land to farmers and agricultural companies for the highest price possible. Factors that could adversely affect the agricultural sector may be: weather conditions (floods, droughts, heavy rains, hail, frost, weeds, pests, diseases, fire, climate change related worsening conditions and others). Any of these factors, together or separately, could have a negative impact on farmers' incomes and farmland values. Part of the risks, not all, can be insured, but the insurance costs reduce agricultural profitability, thus not all Lithuanian farmers do it.
Lithuanian and the European Union farmers' activities and profits are highly dependent on the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - EU and national subsidies for agricultural activities. Recent changes to the CAP are valid for the period 2014 – 2020.
Elimination of direct payments could have a negative impact on agricultural land rents and values.
Investments in agricultural land under certain market conditions are relatively illiquid, thus finding buyers for these lands can take time. Investors may consider the investment in agricultural land only if they do not have needs for the sudden liquidity.

Lithuanian law, the European Union directives and other legislative changes may affect the income of farmers and agricultural land rents. For example, changes affecting agricultural products price controls, export restrictions, customs entry or withdrawal, more stringent environmental restrictions could adversely affect the profitability of agriculture.
Tax laws change may lead to a greater taxation of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland and its group companies, which in turn may reduce the profits and assets of the company.
It is likely that during its operational period the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will face both inflation and deflation risks as investments in agricultural land are long term. If the profit from the agriculture land rent will be less than the inflation rate, it will result in loss of purchasing power. It is estimated that investment in agricultural land profitability is highly correlated with inflation.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will seek to lease agricultural land plots in the highest price possible to farmers in Lithuania and agricultural companies. There is a risk that tenants of the land will not fulfil their obligations - it would adversely affect the profit of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland. Large parts of liabilities not fulfilled in time may cause disturbances in activities of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland, there might be a need to seek additional sources of financing, which may not always be available.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland also bears the risk of holding funds in bank accounts or investing in short-term financial instruments.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland may be faced with a situation where it will not be able to settle with suppliers and other creditors in time. The company will seek to maintain adequate liquidity levels or secure funding in order to reduce this risk.
Interest rate risk mainly includes loans with a variable interest rate. The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland plans to use very small amount of debt. Rising interest rates worldwide may adversely affect the values of property - agricultural land.
Three shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland together with related parties hold more than 60 percent of shares and their voting will influence the election of the Members of the Boards of company, essential decisions regarding management of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland, operations and financial position. There is no guarantee that the decisions made by the major shareholders' will always coincide with the opinion and interest of the minority shareholders. Large shareholders have the right to block the proposed solutions of other shareholders.
Shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland bear the risk of incurring losses due to adverse changes in the market price of the shares. The stock price drop may be caused by negative changes in assets value and profitability of the company, general stock market trends in the region and the world. Trading of shares of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland may depend on comments of the brokers and analysts and published independent analyzes of the company and its activities. The unfavorable analysts' outlook of the shares of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland may adversely affect the market price of the shares. Non-professional investors assessing the shares are advised to seek the assistance of intermediaries of public trading or other experts in this field.

If demand for shares decreases or they are deleted from the stock exchange, investors will face the problem of realization of shares. If the financial situation of the public joint-stock company's INVL Baltic Farmland deteriorates, the demand for company's shares may drop, which will lead to fall in share price.
Dividend payment to the shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland is not guaranteed and will depend on the profitability, investment plans and the overall financial situation of the company.
Changes in the equity-related legislation or state tax policy can change shares attractiveness of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland. This may reduce the liquidity of the shares of the company and/or price.
When inflation increases, the risk, that the stock price change may not offset the current rate of inflation, appears. In this case, the real returns from capital gain on market shares for traders may be less than expected.

INVL Baltic Farmland had revenue of EUR 645 thousand in 2019 and earned unaudited net profit of EUR 1,136 thousand for the year. Profit was forecasted under the assumption that the value of agricultural land holdings in the balance sheet would not change and the change in the value of trade receivables by the buyers was not assessed, but a valuation conducted by the company Matininkai showed that land holding value had increased by 6.2% to EUR 14.72 million compared to previous year, or EUR 4.74 thousand per hectare. In addition, EUR 46 thousand impairment of trade receivables was recognized and due to overdue debts at the end of the year the administration fee was reduced by EUR 95 thousand. Excluding these nonestimated factors and the related income tax expense, INVL Baltic Farmland's profit would be EUR 395 thousand. Therefore it can be stated that INVL Baltic Farmland has accomplished the calculated profit forecasts for 2019.
INVL Baltic Farmland will continue focusing on enhancing the quality of owned land and environmental sustainability.
Taking into consideration the lease agreements, total income should be around EUR 652 thousand in 2020. Net profit for the year is expected to be around EUR 390 thousand. These predictions are based on the assumption that there will be no changes in land value in 2020, no land sale/acquisition transactions will be made and not predicting the changes in provision for impairment of trade receivables and the influence of trade receivables on the amount of the administration fee.
INVL Baltic Farmland's dividend policy stipulates that dividend payments to shareholders should be no less than EUR 0.10 per share, in case net profit of the reporting period is larger than previously described share of the profit attributable for dividends, the Board of the Company taking into consideration a need for investments and working capital as well as market conditions, projected cash flows and other in the opinion of the Board significant conditions can propose to the General Shareholders Meeting to pay as dividends higher share of the profit than described earlier.
