Independent auditor's report

To the shareholders of INVL Technology UTIB

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Our opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of INVL Technology UTIB ("the Company") as at 31 December 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.

What we have audited

The Company's financial statements comprise:

  • the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018;
  • the statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
  • the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
  • the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
  • the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

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 financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on the Audit of Financial Statements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Republic of Lithuania. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on the Audit of Financial Statement.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that we did not provide non-audit services to the Company in 2018. We also declare that we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 considering the exemptions of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 endorsed in the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on the Audit of Financial Statements.

Our audit approach

Overview
Materiality Our materiality: € 280 thousand.
Key audit matters Valuation of investments.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including, among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Company materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.

Overall Company materiality € 280 thousand (2017: € 231 thousand).
How we determined it 1% of total equity.
Rationale for the materiality
benchmark applied
We chose the equity as the benchmark because, in our view, it
is an appropriate measure of the size of the entity, and
changes in it indicate the performance of the Company.
Therefore the value of equity and changes in it are commonly
utilised by stakeholders of investment companies, and they
are generally accepted benchmarks. The key driver of the
business and determinant of the Company's value is the value
of investments into various IT businesses. For this reason, the
key area of focus in the audit of the financial statements was
the valuation of investments.
We chose 1%, which is within the range of acceptable
quantitative materiality thresholds.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above € 28 thousand, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of investments (financial assets at fair value through profit or loss)

Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements.

The Company is an investment entity and classifies its investments in equity securities, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Management estimated the fair value of the financial assets to be € 24 229 thousand as at 31 December 2018, as compared to € 20,808 thousand as at 31 December 2017. The net change in fair value of financial assets was recorded as a gain of € 3,421 thousand in the statement of comprehensive income.

The valuation of investments was based on the values determined by independent valuers.

The Company's investments in subsidiaries are not traded in an active market and the fair value is determined by using discounted cash flows method.

Given the significant carrying value of investments, the revaluation to fair value has a significant impact on the financial statements. We focused on this area as the fair values are dependent upon significant estimates involved in performing the valuation, and they are very sensitive to the inputs and assumptions underlying those valuations. In particular, the most significant estimates relate to discount rates, long-term growth rate and free cash flow forecasts made by the management for the period of 5 years. Free cash flows were calculated as operating profit after tax plus depreciation, adjusted by change in working capital and decreased by capital expenditure.

For the above-mentioned reasons, due to existence of significant estimation uncertainty, we determined this area as a key audit matter.

Our procedures in relation to management's valuation of investments included as follows:

• evaluation of the independent external valuers' competence, capabilities and objectivity;

• assessment of the methodologies used and appropriateness of key assumptions and inputs based on our knowledge of IT industry;

• testing, on a sample basis, whether specific information supplied to the valuers reflected the underlying information on financial performance of investments held by the Company;

• testing the data inputs underpinning the valuation for a sample of investments, including sales, profitability ratios, capital expenditure, by agreeing them back to the supporting documentation.

Because of the subjectivity involved in determining the value of investments and existence of alternative assumptions and valuation methods, we have reviewed the sensitivity analysis of the fair value of investments to changes in key assumptions, which was prepared by the independent valuer.

We also considered whether or not there was bias in determining individual values.

We also considered the adequacy of disclosures in Note 4.

Reporting on other information including the annual report

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual report, including the corporate governance report (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, including the annual report.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

With respect to the annual report, we considered whether the annual report includes the disclosures required by Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Financial Reporting by Undertakings implementing Article 19 of Directive 2013/34/EU.

Based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:

  • the information given in the annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, for which the financial statements are prepared, is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Financial Reporting by Undertakings.

In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the annual report which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company'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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 Company'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 Company'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 financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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 have communicated 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 General information

1.1

INVL Technology UTIB (company code 300893533, hereinafter "the Company") is a closed-ended type investment company registered in the Republic of Lithuania. The Company's registered office address is Gynėjų g. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania.

On 14 July 2016 the Company has been issued a closed-ended type investment company (UTIB) license by the Bank of Lithuania. Under the company's Articles of Association, INVL Technology UTIB will operate until 14 July 2026, with extension possible for further two years. With the status of an investment entity, the Company's activities are supervised by the Bank of Lithuania, thereby providing additional security to the investors.

NRD companies continue to belong to the business climate improvement and e-government group, the cyber security group covers NRD CS, whereas the IT services and software group is formed by joining the areas of IT infrastructure and IT intensive industries' solutions. At the end of the nine months of 2018 INVL Technology portfolio consists of 17 operating companies. The major investments of INVL Technology are currently in businesses based in Lithuania, Estonia, Norway, Moldova, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Bangladesh.

The Company has an agreement on depository services with SEB Bankas which acts depository of the Company's assets.

The Management Company manages the portfolio of investment instruments of the Company following principles of diversification set in the Articles of Association (the conformity of the portfolio of investment instruments of the Company to those principles shall be achieved within four years from the date the Bank of Lithuania issued a permission to certify Company's incorporation documents and to choose the Depository).

2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

1.1

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The Company meets the definition criteria of an investment entity under IFRS 10. The Company has no subsidiaries that provide services related to the Company's investment activities – therefore no subsidiaries to be consolidated – therefore the Company does not prepare consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in EUR thousands, and all the amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current circumstances, events or actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations

The Company has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2018:

  • − IFRS 9 Financial Instruments effective 1 January 2018;
  • − IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments effective 1 January 2018;
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle effective 1 January 2018 (changes to IFRS 1 and IAS 28);
  • − IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 4 Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (effective, depending on the approach, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 for entities that choose to apply temporary exemption option, or when the entity first applies IFRS 9 for entities that choose to apply overlay approach).

The principal effects of these changes are as follows:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

Key features of the new standard are:

  • − Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
  • − Classification for debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI condition.
  • − Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.
  • − Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.
  • − IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables.
  • − Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

IFRS 9 has been applied retrospectively by the Company and did not result in a change to the classification or measurement of financial instruments as outlined in note 2.5. The Company's investment portfolio continues to be classified as fair value through profit or loss and other financial assets which are held for collection continue to be measured at amortised cost. There was no material impact on adoption from the application of the new impairment model.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

1.1

Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.

The amendments do not change the underlying principles of the standard but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; how to determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new standard.

The adoption of the standard did not have monetary impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 as the main revenue of the Company is interest income and dividends, that are not in scope of IFRS 15. All revenue is recognised at a point in time.

All other amendments adopted as of 1 January 2018 had no impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Standards endorsed by the EU that are not yet effective and that have not been early adopted by the Company

IFRS 16 Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 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. 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 Company does not expect the impact of the application of the standard to be significant because the Company has not entered into contracts as a lessee.

Other amendments to the standards and the new standards approved for application in the EU but not yet in force are not relevant to the Company.

Standards not yet adopted by the EU

Amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are not yet adopted by the EU, are not relevant to the Company.

2.2 Investment entity and consolidated financial statements

Investment entity

1.1

The Company has multiple unrelated investors. The Company has multiple investments. Ownership interests in the Company are in the form of equity securities issued by the Company – ordinary registered shares. In accordance with IFRS, the Company meets all the requirements for an investment entity:

  • (i) The Company obtains funds from investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services.
  • (ii) The Company commits to investors that its business purpose is to invest for capital appreciation, investment income or both;
  • (iii) The management measures and evaluates its investments and makes investment decisions on a fair value basis as a key criterion.

Subsidiaries

The Company meets the definition of an investment entity as defined by IFRS 10 and is required to account for the investments in its subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss. The fair value of subsidiary investments is determined on a consistent basis as described in the Note 4.

Where the Company is deemed to control an underlying portfolio company, whereby the control is exercised via voting rights or indirectly through the ability to direct the relevant activities in return for access to a significant portion of the variable gains and losses derived from those relevant activities, the underlying portfolio company and its results are also not consolidated and are instead reflected at fair value through profit or loss.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentation currency is euro after Lithuania adopted euro as its official currency with effect from 1 January 2015.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the year end. All translation differences are accounted for in profit or loss. All non-monetary items carried at historical cost and denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of original transactions. All non-monetary items carried at fair value and denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of fair value measurement.

As all amounts in these financial statements have been presented in EUR thousands, individual amounts have been rounded up. Due to the rounding effects, the totals in the tables may not add up.

2.4 Fair value estimation

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. The fair value of investments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques. Such valuation techniques may include the most recent transactions in the market, the market price for similar transactions, discounted cash flow analysis or any other valuation models.

At the end of each reporting period fair values for unlisted equity securities are determined by the external qualified valuer using valuation techniques. Such valuation techniques may include earnings multiples (based on the budget earnings or historical earnings of the issuer and earnings multiples of comparable listed companies) and discounted cash flows (based on the expected future cash flows discounted at an appropriate discount rate). The Company adjusts the valuation model as deemed necessary for factors such as non-maintainable earnings, seasonality of earnings, market risk differences in operations relative to the peer multiples etc. The valuation techniques also consider the original transaction price and take into account the relevant developments since the acquisition of the investments and other factors pertinent to the valuation of the investments, with reference to such rights in connection with realisation, recent third-party transactions of comparable types of instruments, and reliable indicative offers from potential buyers. In determining fair value, the Company may rely on the financial data of investee portfolio companies and on estimates by the management of the investee portfolio companies as to the effect of future developments. Although the external qualified valuer uses its best judgement, and cross- references results of primary valuation models against secondary models in estimating the fair value of investments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation techniques. Whilst the fair value estimates presented herein attempt to present the amount the Company could realise in a current transaction, the final realisation may be different as future events will also affect the current estimates of fair value. The

effect of such events on the estimates of fair value, including the ultimate liquidation of investments, could be material to the financial statements.

Where portfolio investments are held through subsidiary holding companies, the net assets of the holding company are added to the value of the portfolio investment being assessed to produce the fair value of the holding company held by the Company.

2.5 Financial assets

1.1

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

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.

The Company classifies its investments in equity securities as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the income statement under "Net change in fair value of financial assets". Dividends on investments are recognized in the income statement under "dividend income" when the right to pay dividends is established. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if the payment is settled within 12 months; otherwise, it is recorded as non-current assets.

As the business model for the Company's bonds, other receivables and loans granted and cash and cash equivalents is held to collect contractual cash flows and they are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company classifies these financial assets as measured at amortised cost.. The Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Financial assets are recognised when 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 Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

Financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset, contractual rights to exchange financial instruments with another party under favorable terms and equity instruments issued by other entities and contracts that will or may be settled by the Company's own equity instruments. Company's Financial assets are measured and Classified in accordance with IFRS 39 Financial Instruments.

The Company allocates financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose of the acquisition of the financial asset. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs (except for the financial assets or the financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss).

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

All ordinary purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the settlement date. All regular purchases and sales are purchases and sales of financial assets that require delivery of the asset over a period of time set in the regulations or convention in the marketplace.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Company classifies its investments in equity securities, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

  • (i) Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separable embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or financial guarantee contracts.
  • (ii) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Company's documented investment strategy. The Company's policy requires the Board of Directors to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information. This

sub-category includes unconsolidated subsidiaries that are part of the Company's investment portfolio. During the periods presented in these financial statements, all the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss have been designated to that category.

Profit (loss) is recognized as:

1.1

  • gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss;
  • changes in the interest rate charged on debt securities measured at fair value using the effective interest rate;
  • dividends on investment when the right to pay dividends is established.

Gains or losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit and loss within "Net changes in fair value of financial assets". Interest on debt securities at fair value through profit or loss is recognised within "Interest income" based on the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as "Dividend income" when the right of payment has been established. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through amortisation process. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Company's loans and receivables are recorded within 'Trade and other receivables', 'Loans granted' and 'Cash and cash equivalents' in the statement of financial position.

2.6 Impairment of financial assets

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

From 1 January 2018, 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 Company follows a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables:

  • − Stage 1 balances, for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, or that have low credit risk at the reporting date. For these assets, 12-month expected credit losses ('ECL') are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset (that is, without deduction for credit allowance). 12-month ECL are the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It is not the expected cash shortfalls over the 12-month period but the entire credit loss on an asset weighted by the probability that the loss will occur in the next 12 months;
  • − Stage 2 comprises balances for which there have been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (unless they have low credit risk at the reporting date) but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognised, but interest revenue is still calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument. Expected credit losses are the weighted average credit losses with the probability of default ('PD') as the weight;
  • − Stage 3 comprises balances with objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the net carrying amount (that is, net of credit allowance).

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 is 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 other receivables, the Company 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:

  • − Stage 2 comprises receivables for which there the simplified approach was applied to measure the expected lifetime credit losses, except for certain trade receivables classified in Stage 3;
  • − Stage 3 comprises trade receivables which are overdue more than 90 days or individually identified as impaired.

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.

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

Assets carried at amortised cost

1.1

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The Company assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. When financial asset is assessed as uncollectible the impaired asset is derecognised.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the expected decrease in the value of the asset is calculated as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (estimating the present value of future cash flows future events that will affect cash flows are taken into account as well), discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

2.7 Trade and other receivables

In the case of trade receivables and other receivables, the Company applies the Standard IFRS 9. The application is described in Note 2.6.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

2.9 Success fee and Management fee

The Management Fee is the remuneration paid to the Management Company for management of the assets of the Company, which is payable for each quarter of a calendar year and is 0,5 percent of the weighted average capitalisation of the Company, calculated according to the Articles of Assocation. The Management Fee during Investment Period for a full quarter is 0,625 percent (Investment Period is five years after obtaining a license for the Company (Note 1). The Management Fee for the Investment Period is disbursed according to the following rules:

  • − 80 percent of the Management Fee is paid not later than 5 Business Day after the last day of the quarter of a calendar year;
  • − 20 percent of the Management Fee (total amount cannot exceed EUR 750 thousand) is disbursed with the first disbursement of Success Fee; if Success Fee is not disbursed, this portion of Management Fee is not payable.

After Investment Period Management Fee is payable for each quarter of a calendar year and is 0,5 percent of the weighted average capitalisation of the Company, calculated according to the Articles of Assocation.

The Success Fee depends on the return earned by the Company, which shall be calculated for the whole Company but not for an individual shareholder and is based on internal rate of return. The Success Fee is disbursed after annual internal rate return of disbursements reaches annual rate of 8 percent during lifetime of the Company. The basis of calculation of annual internal rate of return is initial net assets value of the Company as of 13 July 2016 and is equal EUR 23,906,150.

After internal rate of return reaches 8 percent, excess return earned is allocated as the Success Fee until total return on investment is distributed according to the proportion of 80/20 (20 percent of the return is the Success Fee payable to the Management Company). Any amounts exceeding aforementioned return are disbursed to the shareholders after 20 percent deduction as the Success Fee payable to the Management Company.

The Success Fee shall be disbursed to the Management Company only after the Shareholders are paid their initial investment) with average annual return of 8 percent. Until then, the Success Fee shall be accumulated and reflected in financial statements as a liability to the Management Company according accounting policy. The Success Fee shall be disbursed to the Management Company each time when funds are disbursed to Shareholders if the condition provided above is satisfied (Note 2.10).

2.10 Financial liabilities

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

The Company recognises a financial liability when it first becomes a party to the contractual rights and obligations in the contract.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Trade payables

1.1

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.

Management fee

Non-contingent Management Fee payable quarterly is recorded as a financial liability and is measured at amortised cost.

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, other financial liabilities, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on the group to which the financial liabilities are assigned.

The fair value of financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss is determined using the measurement methods described in the Company's net asset value calculation methodology approved by the Management Company.

Other financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are carried at amortized cost.

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Trade payables

1.1

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). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Management fee and Success Fee

Non-contingent Management Fee payable quarterly is recorded as a financial liability and is measured at amortised cost.

2.11 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.12 Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes sales revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow and certain criteria are met for each of the Company's activities as described below.

The following criteria also apply to income recognition:

Income from investment transfer

Investment gains / losses are recognized when the significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership of the investment is transferred to the buyer. Gains / losses on investments are disclosed in conjunction with changes in the fair value of investments.

Sale of services

Revenue from the sale of services is recognized in that period when the service is rendered, depending on the level of execution of each transaction, which is determined on the basis of the ratio between the volume of services actually rendered and the service to be provided.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate that is used to discount accurately the estimated future cash inflows over the expected useful life of the financial instruments to their net carrying amount.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized in the period in which the Company's right to receive payment is established.

2.13 Share capital

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 share premium.

The financial instrument (shares of the Company) include legal obligation for the issuing entity to deliver pro rata share of its net assets upon liquidation, which is certain to occur as the Company has finite life (Note 1). However, the shares of the Company meet the following conditions thus shares of the Company are treated as equity:

  • − It entitles the holder to a pro rata share of the entity's net assets in the event of the entity's liquidation. The entity's net assets are those assets that remain after deducting all other claims on its asset;
  • − The instrument is in the class of instruments that is subordinate to all other classes of instruments.

2.14 Net Asset Value

1.1

Net asset value is non-IFRS financial measure disclosed by the Company and means the difference between the carrying amount of the total assets owned by the Company reduced by the long-term and current liabilities of the Company, i.e. residual interest in the entity by the shareholders and equals to the total equity of the Company.

2.15 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Investment Committee of the Management Company that makes strategic decisions. All financial information, including the measure of profit, total assets and total liabilities, is analysed as a single operating segment – investments in information technology businesses, therefore, it is not further disclosed in these financial statements.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

Following the provisions of the Lithuanian Law on Corporate Income Tax, investment income of closed-end investment companies operating in accordance with the Lithuanian Law on Collective Investment Undertakings shall not be subject to income tax.

2.17 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Provisions for success fee and part of management fee

The Company is obliged to pay success fee and part of the management fee to the management company under certain circumstances (note 2.9).

As management services are provided during the period, provision for success and part of management fee should be recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event (the annual return of the Company exceeds hurdle rate of 8%). The amount to be recognized equals the best estimate of economic resources needed to cover the obligation. The management company has changed the Company's accounting policy for success fee classification and measurement in 2018 with the aim to harmonise accounting policy for success fee among all alternative investments management by the management company. The success fee classification and measurement policy was changed from financial liability at fair value to provision. As the success fee liability is zero if calculated according to the previous and new accounting policy, the change in this accounting policy had no impact on these financial statements. The change in accounting policy is applied retrospectively.

3 Accounting estimates and judgements

3.1 Judgements

1.1

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements:

Investment entity status

The management periodically reviews whether the Company meets all the definition criteria of an investment entity. In addition, the management assesses the Company's business objective (Note 1), investment strategy, origin of income and fair value valuation techniques. According to the management, the Company met all the definition criteria of an investment entity throughout all the periods presented in these financial statements.

3.2 Accounting estimates and assumptions

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 Company based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the 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 Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements is discussed below.

Fair value of investments that are not traded in an active market

Fair values of investments in subsidiaries that are not traded in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily discounted cash flows. The valuation techniques used to determine fair values are periodically reviewed and compared against historical results to ensure their reliability. Details of the inputs and valuation models used to determine Level 3 fair value are provided in Note 4.

4 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

  • − Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • − Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;
  • − Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

The Company's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss included assets attributed to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company has no Level 1 or Level 2 instruments.

The Company conducts an independent valuation of its investments in subsidiaries when preparing the annual financial statements. As at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017, the valuation was carried out by Deloitte Verslo Konsultacijos UAB using the income approach. In the opinion of the management, the fair value of investments was determined appropriately using the inputs and ratios properly selected and reasonably reflecting the investments. The fair value of investments was determined in compliance with the International Valuation Standards approved by the International Valuation Standards Council. For the income approach, the discounted cash flow method was used. It was based on free cash flow forecasts made by management for the period of 5 years. Free cash flows were calculated as net operating profit after tax plus depreciation and minus change in working capital and capital expenditure.

The fair values of the Company's unconsolidated subsidiaries were as follows:

The fair value was based on discounted cash flow method, which was selected by the external valuator as the best representation of the company specific development potential, except for FINtime UAB where net assets value method was used. Different method was selected as at the current moment the entities do not expect to generate significant free cash flows. Due to the limited number of comparable companies and transactions, lack of reliability of the market data and limited comparability of peers, the results of the guideline public companies and transaction methods were used as a supplementary analysis and were provided only for illustrative purposes in valuation report.

Cash flow projections made by Company management for the period of 5 years (2019-2023) were used as a basis in the income method. Free cash flows were calculated as operating profit after tax plus depreciation/amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, plus or minus changes in working capital and minus capital expenditure. The resulting value was adjusted by discount for lack of marketability and the amount of surplus assets/liabilities. As part of the valuation process, valuator had analysed items presented on the balance sheet of each company and had identified assets and liabilities, which can be treated as surplus assets (e.g. net working capital above normalised level, non-operating cash balances, loans to related parties) and debt/debt like items; all of which were adjusted when arriving at equity value of the company.

In the opinion of the management, the fair value was determined appropriately using the inputs and ratios properly selected and reasonably reflecting the investments.

Different method was selected as at the current moment the entity does not expect to generate significant free cash flows. Sensitivity is not appliable as no variable inputs were used. Due to the limited number of comparable companies and transactions, lack of reliability of the market data and limited comparability of peers, the results of the guideline public companies and transaction methods were used as a supplementary analysis and were provided only for illustrative purposes in valuation report.

Cash flow projections made by Company management for the period of 5 years (2018-2022) were used as a basis in the income method. Free cash flows were calculated as operating profit after tax plus depreciation/amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, plus or minus changes in working capital and minus capital expenditure. The resulting value was adjusted by discount for lack of marketability and the amount of surplus assets/liabilities. As part of the valuation process, valuator had analysed items presented on the balance sheet of each company and had identified assets and liabilities, which can be treated as surplus assets (e.g. net working capital above normalised level, non-operating cash balances, loans to related parties) and debt/debt like items; all of which were adjusted when arriving at equity value of the company.

1.1

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, outstanding balances of trade and other receivables, and outstanding balances of loans granted.

With respect to trade and other receivables neither past due nor impaired, there were no indications as at the reporting date that the debtors will fail to fulfil their liabilities in due time, since the Company constantly reviews the balances of receivables. The Company has no significant transactions in a country other than the countries of domicile of the subsidiaries and their investments. All receivables of the Company are from subsidiaries, and their settlement terms are set by the Company itself. With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Company (consisting of cash and cash equivalents), the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty. The maximum exposure to credit risk was equal to the carrying amount of these instruments:

Assets with no credit rating assigned At 31 December 2018 At 31 December 2017
Dividends and other receivables 456 39
Bonds 1,235 -
Cash and cash equivalents 2,230 5,030
Total current assets 3,921 5,069

The Company accepts the services from the banks and the financial institutions which (or the controlling financial institutions of which) have been assigned a high credit rating by an independent rating agency. As at 31 December 2018 the Company's cash balances were held in the financial institutions which have not been assigned individual credit ratings, but the controlling financial institutions of which have been assigned "Prime-1" rating by Moody's agency.

Interest rate risk

In 2017 September AB LUMINOR granted 1,953 thousand EUR to the Company loan. Bank loan margin is 3.5%; Interest is variable, calculated and paid each month last day.

In 2018 the Company had bonds in total EUR 1,235 thousand. Bonds interests is within the range 10,5% - 12% , calculated each month last day. As interest rates on bonds are fixed and bonds are accounted at amortised cost, the company did not have interest rate risk related to acquired bonds.

Price risk

The Company's investments are susceptible to price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investments that are not traded in an active market. To manage the price risk, the Investment comittee reviews the performance of the portfolio companies at least on a quarterly basis, and keep regular contact with the management of the portfolio companies for business development and day-to-day operation matters.

As at 31 December 2018, the fair value of the Company's investments exposed to price risk was EUR 24,229 thousand (31 December 2017: EUR 20,808 thousand).

Liquidity risk

The Company's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet its commitments at a given date in accordance with the strategic plans.

Liquidity risk of the Company is managed by the Management company. The liquidity risk management is divided into long-term and short-term risk management.

The aim of the short-term liquidity risk management is to meet the day-to-day needs for funds. Each subsidiary is independently planning its internal cash flows. Short-term liquidity of the Company is managed through monthly monitoring of the liquidity status at the Company.

Long-term liquidity risk is managed by analysing the cash flow projections by taking into account the potential sources of financing. Before approving a new investment project, the Company evaluates the possibilities to attract the required funding. Based on monthly reports, the Company makes projections of monetary income and expenses over the next one year, thereby ensuring an effective planning of the Company's funding.

The Company's financial liabilities based on undiscounted contractual payments consisted of:

Up to 3
months
4 - 12 months 2 to 5 years Over 5
years
Total
Loans to credit institutions with interest - - - - -
Other current liabilities 125 - - - 125
At 31 December 2018 125 - - - 125
Loans to credit institutions with interest 17 292 1,810 - 2,119
Other current liabilities 112 - - - 112
At 31 December 2017 129 292 1,810 - 2,231

The company has no liquidity problems and there are no expectations that they will arise in the foreseeable future.

Foreign exchange risk

1.1

The Company has no material exposures or transactions in currencies other than euro, therefore it is not exposed to foreign currency risk.

21.2 Fair value estimation

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. The Company carries investments in subsidiaries at fair value, please refer to Note 4 for more details.

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, as well as trade and other payables.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, as well as trade and other payables of the Company as at 31 December 2018 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.

21.3 Capital management

The Company's primary objective when managing capital is to safeguard that the Company will be able to maintain a strong credit health and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise returns for shareholders. The Company's capital management is conducted through supervision of activities of individual subsidiaries to ensure that their capital is sufficient to continue as a going concern. Management of entities oversee to ensure that the subsidiaries are in compliance with the capital requirements defined in relevant legal acts and loan contracts, and that they provide the Company's management with the necessary information.

The Company's capital comprises share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and risks specific to its activity. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares, reduce share capital, and adjust the dividend payment to shareholders.

During 2018, no changes were introduced in the objectives of capital management, policies or processes.

The Company is obliged to keep its equity ratio at not less than 50 % of its share capital, as imposed by the Lithuanian Law on Companies. As at 31 December 2018 the Company complied with this requirement.

22 Events after the reporting period

There were no events after the period ended, 31 December 2018, that could influence the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements.

Foreword of the Managing Partner of INVL Technology

INVL Technology had equity of EUR 28 million at the end of 2018, or EUR 2.3 per share. Equity per share increased by 17 per cent during the year.

INVL Technology Managing Partner

INVL Technology had equity of EUR 28 million at the end of 2018, or EUR 2.3 per share. Equity per share increased by almost 18 per cent during the year. The company's net profit for 2018, taking into account a revaluation of financial assets, was EUR 4.2 million.

The share of the fast-growing IT segment of cybersecurity and financial technology companies in the value of the full portfolio of businesses increased from 27 per cent in 2017 to 33 per cent in 2018.

Unconsolidated revenue of the portfolio companies grew 18 per cent compared to 2017 to EUR 32.7 million in 2018, with total profit for the year up 17 per cent to EUR 13.6 million in 2018 (versus EUR 11.6 million in 2017). The aggregate EBITDA increased from EUR 1.97 million in 2017 to EUR 2.32 million in 2018.

The businesses got more than 6 per cent of revenue from new products introduced to the market. Growth of the companies' revenue and value was also ensured by the strengthening of strategic partnerships, international operations and consolidation which was undertaken.

In 2018, the cyber security company NRD Cyber Security (NRD CS) became one of the seven partners of Oxford University's Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre for assessing the cybersecurity maturity of countries, and in February 2019 – one of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) cybersecurity competence centres for the European region.

In 2018, INVL Technology companies carried out projects in 23 countries, of which 7 were for the first time. This year the companies will give more attention to the expansion of operations in European countries, especially the Balkans, and in Central Asia.

In 2019, we will continue to form 3 groups of companies from the 18 currently managed businesses: NRD Companies, Novian and a cyber security company. Last year, part of the business was separated from Estonian Andmevara AS into a newly established company Andmevara Services OÜ. The restructuring of NRD companies is currently being finalized. In 2019-2020, Novian will consolidate companies belonging to the IT services and software group.

In 2019, NRD Companies will give priority to modernization of national systems and development of financial technology products, NRD Cyber Security - to further development and sale of its cyber security products, and the Novian group –to consolidation and growth in value. We believe that the complex services offered by the group will give the companies a competitive advantage in the Baltics, and that larger companies will be attractive to investors.

Although planned acquisitions in the second half of 2018 have slowed down due to sellers' expectations and uncertain situation in the financial markets, INVL Technology has been working with several companies and expects to implement new acquisitions in 2019. The company is interested in specialized IT companies working in robotics, analytics and other fields. INVL Technology will seek to implement new investments through its currently managed companies.

5. Estimation of Issuer's and Group's activity last year and activity plans and forecasts

EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF GOALS FOR 2018

In 2018, INVL Technology gave priority to development of the managed companies and increasing their value. The classification of companies into 4 areas of activity, as used previously, was replaced by 3 new functional groups: business climate improvement and e-government, IT services and software, and cyber security.

The share of the fast-growing IT segment of cybersecurity and financial technology companies in the value of the full portfolio of businesses increased from 27 per cent in 2017 to 33 per cent in 2018. Moreover, the businesses got more than 6 per cent of revenue from new products introduced to the market.

Reviewing the results achieved by the managed companies, growth of the companies' revenue and value was also ensured by the strengthening of strategic partnerships, international operations and consolidation which was undertaken. In 2018, the cyber security company NRD Cyber Security (NRD CS) became one of the seven partners of Oxford University's Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre for assessing the cybersecurity maturity of countries, and in February 2019 – one of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) cybersecurity competence centres for the European region.

ACTIVITY PLANS AND FORECASTS

In 2019, it is planned to continue forming 3 groups of companies from the 18 currently managed businesses: NRD Companies, Novian and a cyber security company. In 2019, NRD Companies will give priority to modernization of national systems and development of financial technology products, NRD Cyber Security - to further development and sale of its cyber security products, and the Novian group –to consolidation and growth in value. We believe that the complex services offered by the group will give the companies a competitive advantage in the Baltics, and that larger companies will be attractive to investors.

INVL Technology has been working with several companies and expects to implement new acquisitions in 2019. The company is interested in specialized IT companies working in robotics, analytics and other fields. INVL Technology will seek to implement new investments through its currently managed companies.

18. A description of the principal advantages, risks and uncertainties

The document provides information on risk factors related to INVL Technology activities and securities.

Information provided in this document shall not be considered complete and covering all the aspects of the risk factors associated with the activity and securities of INVL Technology.

General risk factors in the business field where the Company and its portfolio companies operate Risk factor, related to the change of the legal status of the Company

After the issuance of the approval by the Bank of Lithuania on 14 July 2016, the Company started to operate not only according to the Law on Companies and Law on Securities and other related legal acts, as it was until obtaining a status of the closed-end investment company, but also under the Law on Collective Investment Undertakings and other related legal acts, which establish certain specific obligations in respect of the protection of Company's shareholders and certain operating restrictions, e.g. the Company is entitled to invest the managed funds following the requirements of the investment strategy of the Company, certain limitations of the applicable laws are applied to the Company with regards its investments, their diversification, management thereof, etc. Furthermore, the Company's operating expenses might be increased because of the requirements to conduct periodic property's assessment, protect the Company's property in the Depository and other.

It should also be noted that investments into Shares of the Company (holding a status of the closed-end investment company) are related to higher than average, long-term risk. The Company cannot guarantee that the shareholders will get invested funds back.

Risk of changes in the market of technologies

The business of information technologies and the market related to information technologies change particularly quickly. Therefore, there is a risk that due to unforeseen changes in the market the value of investments of the Company or the investment return from investment objects of the Company can decrease, the development of companies acquired by the Company will take longer and/or will cost more than planned, therefore, the Company's investments will not be profitable and/or their value will decrease.

The recent global sovereign debt crisis could result in higher borrowing costs and more limited availability of credit

Due to on-going recession and financial disturbance in Europe the availability of capital can be limited and therefore the cost of borrowing can increase. Poor economic situation in Greece, Spain, Cyprus and some other EU member states might further negatively affect the commercial situation of many banks operating in Europe. In addition, the risk of lower consumer confidence can have an adverse impact on financial markets and economic conditions in the EU and throughout the world and, in turn, the market's anticipation or reflection of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and/or its Portfolio Companies in a variety of ways:

  • difficulty or inability to acquire capital for further acquisitions by the Company and/or its Portfolio Companies and to cover financial obligations of current debt;
  • increased risk of weak financial condition of the debtors of the Company and/or its Portfolio Companies resulting from current economic situation, etc.

Risk of inflation and deflation

There is a risk that in case of inflation the value of a Share will grow slower than the inflation, which would result in the return lower than inflation. In such a case, the real return earned by persons who sold the Shares of the Company in the market from increase in the value of the Shares can be smaller than expected. In case of deflation, there would be a risk that the value of the Company's investments will decrease by reason of the drop of the general price level.

Geopolitical risk

There is a risk that geopolitical changes can have an effect on activities of the Company and for this reason the investment value of the Company can decrease or it may be impossible to sell the Company's investments at the desired time for the desired price.

Risk factors characteristic of Company and its portfolio companies

General risk

The value of investments into the Company can fluctuate significantly in the short term, depending on the situation in the market. Investments into the Company should be made for a long term in order that the shareholder could avoid the risk of short-term price fluctuations.

Redemption of the Shares of the Company is limited, i.e. a shareholder cannot demand that the Company or the Management Company, which took over its management, would redeem the Shares. But a shareholder of the Company has a possibility to sell Shares of the Company in the secondary market as it is indicated in Articles 82 – 84 of the Articles of Association, incorporated by reference to this Prospectus.

Risk of the management and human resources

The success of the Company's investments will largely depend on heads of companies managed by the Company (directly or indirectly), also on decisions taken by persons in the Management Company who are responsible for management of the Company and on experience and capabilities of the said persons. There is no guarantee that the same employees will continue managing companies managed by the Company (directly or indirectly), as well as the Management Company throughout the whole Term of Activities of the Company.

Transactions with related parties

There are quite a few transactions with related parties among the Company and its Portfolio Companies. Detailed information about such transactions is presented in Section 4.13 of the Prospectus and in the set of financial statements for 2018. Following applicable taxation legislation, transactions with related parties must be conducted at arm's length (i.e. independent and on an equal footing). In spite of the fact that the Management uses all efforts in order to ensure the conformity with the above-mentioned standard, a theoretical taxation risk remains here, i.e. the risk that applicable taxes will be calculated according to prices applicable at arm's length in case it was determined that certain transactions were conducted disregarding this principle, also the risk that relevant fines and default interest will be imposed. Besides, neither the Company nor its Portfolio Companies have approved their pricing policy.

Success of former, current and future investment projects

The Company carried out investment projects of large scope in the past and can carry them out in the future. Though the Management Company and its employees, as well as the employees of companies managed by the Company (directly or indirectly), when forecasting investments, rely on all the information and analytical resources they have, there is no guarantee that all the information, which was relied on when planning investments, was full and correct. Besides, there is no guarantee that investment plans and investments will earn the expected or planned return or that the investment will not cost more than planned. If the investment projects which are being carried out or planned investment projects turn out to be worse than expected, if the return on these projects is less than planned or if their price turns out to be more than planned, this can have a significant adverse effect on the Issuer's activities, its financial situation and performance.

Also, there is no guarantee that the current investment projects related to increase of the Portfolio companies' capacities, introduction of new products and/or technologies will meet the needs of the Portfolio companies' customers.

Issuer's business can be adversely affected by loss of major customers

Though the Company is not dependent on any one major customer or their group, still loss of one or several of them and inability to substitute other similar customers for the lost ones can have an adverse effect on the Issuer's controlled Portfolio Companies' business, financial situation or performance.

Interest rate risk

There is a risk that in case of fast recovery of the global economy or increase in inflation, central banks will increase interest rates and it will be more expensive to service loans in connection with the Company's investments, therefore, the value of the Company's investments can decrease.

Currency risk

The Operational Companies enter into a large portion of non-EUR denominated agreements in foreign markets, whereas some of their performance costs are incurred in EUR, therefore a drop in the rate of respective currencies can have a negative effect on profitability of the managed companies. A large part of computers and other equipment is purchased from foreign manufactures where payments are also made in non-EUR currencies. Besides, having in mind that the Operational Companies operates in many states, there is a risk that the attractiveness or profitability of the Company's investments will decrease also due to fluctuations in rates of other currencies.

Credit risk

There is a risk that buyers of products and services of companies (directly or indirectly) owned by the Company will fail to fulfil their obligations in time – this would have a negative effect on the profit of the Company and/or companies (directly or indirectly) managed by it. In case of late performance of a large part of obligations, the ordinary business of the Company and/or companies (directly or indirectly) owned by it may be disrupted, it may be necessary to search for additional sources of financing, which may be not always available. The Company also incurs the risk of keeping funds in bank accounts or investing into short-term financial instruments.

Risk of liquidity of investments

There is a risk that investments into Operational Companies will be relatively illiquid and finding buyers for such companies can take some time. Furthermore, financing conditions can become worse due to deteriorating economic condition of the world, a region or a country, where the Operational Company is acting. Therefore, sale of the Company's investments can take longer than planned or their return may be less than planned. When investing into Operational Companies, securities issued by which (shares, bonds and other financial instruments) are not admitted to trading on regulated markets, there is a probability of facing a situation when sale of securities, due to absence of demand or other conditions in the market, can take longer than planned or not be as profitable as planned or may even cause losses.

Liquidity risk

There is a risk that due to deteriorating economic condition of the world, a region or a country it will become difficult/expensive for the Company (managed by the Management Company) to obtain new loans for acquisition of investment objects or to refinance old loans, therefore the value of the Company's investments can decrease. In order to reduce this risk, the Management Company will seek to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity in the Company or will seek to organise timely financing from financial institutions or other parties.

Acquiring Shares of the Company, the shareholders assume the risk of securities liquidity – in case of a drop in demand for Shares or delisting them from the stock exchange, investors would find it difficult to sell them. In case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, the demand for Shares of the Company, as well as their price may decrease.

Risk of investments by Operational Companies

Operational Companies can control/acquire companies in countries other than those indicated in Article 18 of the Articles of Association and that shall not be considered as performance of the Company's activities beyond the limits of the countries indicated in Article 18 of the Articles of Association. However, there is a risk that companies acquired/controlled by Operational Companies will be relatively illiquid and finding buyers for such companies can take some time.

Furthermore, financing conditions can become worse due to deteriorating economic condition of the world, a region or a country. Therefore, there is a probability of facing a situation when, due to activities of companies managed by an Operational Company or sale of companies managed by an Operational Company, the Operational Company will suffer losses, which will be reflected in the Net Asset Value of the Company.

The Portfolio Companies are party to public sector contracts, which may be affected by political and administrative decisions, and the success and profitability of such contracts may be influenced by political considerations

Public sector customers account for a significant portion of revenues of the Portfolio Companies. The extent and profitability of public sector business of the Portfolio Companies may be influenced by political considerations. It may also be affected by political and administrative decisions concerning levels of public spending. In certain cases, due to applicable regulations, such as European Union tender rules, certain terms of public sector contracts, such as pricing terms, contract period, use of business partners and ability to transfer receivables under contract, provide the Portfolio Companies with less flexibility than comparable private sector contracts do. Moreover, decisions to decrease public spending may result in the termination or downscaling of public sector contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Portfolio Companies.

Contracts in the public sector are also subject to review and monitoring by authorities to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including those prohibiting anti-competitive practices. The Management believes that it complies with these laws and regulations. However, regulatory authorities may nevertheless deem a Portfolio Company to be in violation of such laws or regulations, and the relevant Portfolio Company could be subject to fines, penalties and other sanctions, including exclusion from participation in tenders for public contracts. Any such event would have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and reputation of the Portfolio Company or some of them.

The Company could be subject to information technology theft or misuse, which could result in third party claims and harm its business, reputation, results and financial condition

The Company could face attempts by other persons to gain unauthorised access to the Company's information technology systems, which could threaten the security of the Company's information and stability of its systems. These attempts could arise from industrial or other espionage or actions by hackers that may harm the Company or its customers. The Company may be not successful in detecting and preventing such theft and attacks. Theft, unauthorised access and use of trade secrets or other confidential business information as a result of such an incident could disrupt the Company's business and adversely affect its reputation and competitive position, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operation or financial condition.

Risk of insolvency of Operational Companies

Operational Companies, in performance of their activities, can face insolvency problems (go bankrupt, undergo restructuring, etc.). Accordingly, such situations can have a negative effect on the price of the Shares or result in insolvency of the Company itself.

Risk of insolvency of the Company

In case of realisation of one or several of the risks, which would have a negative effect on the value and/or liquidity of Operational Companies, this can result in the Company's solvency problems, when the Company will be incapable of fulfilling its obligations. In such a case, shareholders of the Company can lose all their funds invested into the Company.

Risk factors related to the Company's shares (investments thereto)

Past performance risk

The past performance of the Company and its investments is not a reliable indication of the future performance of the investments held by the Company.

No guarantee of return

The shareholders and investors of the Company should be aware that the value of an investment in the Company is subject to normal market fluctuations and other risks inherent in investing in securities. There is no assurance that any appreciation in the value of the Shares will occur or that the investment objectives of the Company will be achieved. The value of investments and the income derived therefrom may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested in the Company.

Market risk

Acquisition of Shares of the Company entails the risk to incur losses due to unfavourable changes in the Share price in the market. A drop in the price of the Shares can be caused by negative changes in the value of assets and profitability of the Company, general share market trends in the region and in the world. Trade in Shares of the Company can depend on comments of financial brokers and analysts and announced independent analyses about the Company and its activities. If the analysts give an adverse opinion about prospects of the Shares of the Company, this can also have a negative effect on the price of Shares in the market. In assessing shares, non-professional investors are advised to address intermediaries of public trading or other specialists in this field for help.

Turmoil in emerging markets could cause the value of the Shares to suffer

Financial or other turmoil in emerging markets has in the recent past adversely affected market prices in the world's securities markets for companies operating in the affected developing economies. There can be no assurance that renewed volatility stemming from future financial turmoil, or other factors, such as political unrests that may arise in other emerging markets or otherwise, will not adversely affect the value of the Shares even if the Lithuanian economy remains relatively stable.

The market value of Shares may be adversely affected by future sales or issues of substantial amounts of Shares

All the Shares of the Company may be provided for sale without any restrictions (except for certain limited restrictions, described in Section 5.9 of the Prospectus) and there can be no assurance as to whether or not they will be sold on the market.

The Company cannot predict what affect such future sales or offerings of Shares, if any, may have on the market price of the Shares. However, such transactions may have a material adverse effect, even if temporary, on the market price of the Shares. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Shares will not decrease due to subsequent sales of the Shares held by the existing shareholders of the Company or a new Share issue by the Company.

The marketability of the Shares may decline and the market price of the Shares may fluctuate disproportionately in response to adverse developments that are unrelated to the Company's operating performance

The Company cannot assure that the marketability of the Shares will improve or remain consistent. Shares listed on regulated markets, such as Nasdaq, have from time to time experienced, and may experience in the future, significant price fluctuations in response to developments that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of the Shares may fluctuate widely, depending on many factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include, amongst other things, actual or anticipated variations in operating results and earnings by the Company and the Portfolio Companies and/or their competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, market conditions in the industry and in general the status of the securities market, governmental legislation and regulations, as well as general economic and general market conditions, such as recession. These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for the Shares to fluctuate substantially and any such development, if adverse, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Shares which may decline disproportionately to the operating performance of the Company and/or the Portfolio Companies. The market price of the Shares is also subject to fluctuations in response to further issuance of Shares by the Company, sales of Shares by the Company's existing shareholders, the liquidity of trading in the Shares and capital reduction or purchases of Shares by the Company as well as investor perception.

Dividend payment risk

There is a risk that the Company will not pay dividend. A decision on payment of dividend will depend on profitability of activities, cash flows, investments plans and the general financial situation and other circumstances.

Liquidity of the Issuer's Shares is not guaranteed

It may be possible that in case an investor wants to urgently sell the Issuer's securities (especially a large number of them), demand for them on the exchange will not be sufficient. Therefore, sale of shares can take some more time or the investor may be forced to sell shares at a lower price. Analogous consequences could appear after the exclusion of the Company's Shares from the Secondary List of Nasdaq. Besides, in case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, demand for the Shares of the Company and, at the same time, their price may decrease.

Risk of conflicts of interest

There is a risk that there will be situations when interests of the Management Company (or persons related to it) and the Company or shareholders will differ or interests of individual shareholders will differ, i.e. there will be a conflict of interest. When it is impossible to avoid a conflict of interest, the Management Company must ensure that shareholders are treated fairly. Employees of the Management Company and other persons related to the Management Company and persons, directly or indirectly related to the Management Company by relationship of control, must immediately, as soon as they become aware of such information, notify the Investment Committee about a potential or existing conflict of interest. The Investment Committee, approving of investment decisions, shall take into account the information presented to it about potential or existing conflicts of interest. The Investment Committee shall immediately inform the head and the Board of the Management Company about conflicts of interest it is aware of.

Following legal acts regulating organisation of activities of collective investment undertakings, the Management Company has implemented appropriate measures for avoiding conflicts of interest, which enable to perform the activities of managing the risk of conflicts of interest and managing conflicts of interest independently, in order to avoid/reduce the risk of conflicts of interest or properly manage a conflict of interest when it occurs.

Risk related to forward looking statements (statements in the future tense)

The Prospectus includes some forward looking statements, are based on estimate, opinion, expectations and forecasts regarding future events and financial trends that will possibly have an effect on the activities of the Company. Forward looking statements include information about possible or presumable results of the Company's activities, investment strategy, contractual relationships, borrowing plans, investment conditions, effect of future regulation and other information. The Company cannot assure that the forward looking statements will reflect future events and circumstances fully and correctly. The Company, the Management Company and their employees do not undertake to adjust or modify the forward looking statements, except to the extent required by laws and the Articles of Association.

Risk of valuation of the Company's assets

The assets of the Company will be evaluated according to the main rules set in the Articles of Association, incorporated by reference to this Prospectus and the accounting policy of the Management Company. Valuation of individual assets held by the Company shall be performed by a property appraiser, however, such valuation of assets shall be only determining the value of the assets, which does not automatically mean the exact sale price of an investment held by the Company, which depends on many circumstances, for example, economic and other conditions, which cannot be controlled. Thus, the sale price of investments held by the Company can be higher or lower than the value of assets determined by a property appraiser.

Competition risk

The Company, investing into Operational Companies, competes with other investors, including, without limitation, with other investment companies or private capital investment funds. Thus, there is a risk that competition with other investors will demand that the Company would conduct transactions at less favourable conditions than it would be possible in other cases.

Risk related to the duty to redeem shares of the Company

Legal acts provide for a duty of the Company in certain circumstances to redeem its Shares from the shareholders that requested such redemption (for more information please see Article 90 of the Articles of Association). Accordingly, if the Company becomes subject to the duty to offer to the shareholders redemption of its own Shares and if such a redemption is requested by the shareholders holding a significant number of Shares, the Company can be forced to sell its investments urgently, which can significantly reduce the return earned by the Company from sale of its investments. This risk is planned to be managed by means stipulated in Article 97 of the Articles of Association.

Legal and taxation risk factors

Risk of changes in laws and regulations

There is a risk that upon changes in legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania or the states where assets of the Company are invested or where Operational Companies, into which the Company invests, operate, such changes in legal acts can have a negative effect on the protection of the Company's investments, the activities, profitability and value of the Operational Companies or such changes in legal acts can have a negative effect on rights and interests of the Company otherwise.

Risk related to possible liability of the Company

There is a risk that the activities of the Company and the general performance results of the Company can be negatively affected by demands and claims regarding non-disclosed or non-identified obligations and/or violations in connection with investments acquired by the Company, which may result in the Company's liability for such obligations and/or violations and for this reason the value of the Company's investments and, at the same time, the price of the Shares can significantly decrease.

It should be also noted that, the Company after the reorganisation – the merger of Former parent company with the Company (previous name – BAIP grupe AB), which continues its activities after the reorganisation, took over all the assets, equity and liabilities of the Former parent company. For any and all the obligations of the Former parent company after the reorganisation, the Company took responsibility.

Tax risk

Lithuanian tax legislation which was enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period may be subject to varying interpretations. Consequently, tax positions taken by management and the formal documentation supporting the tax positions may be successfully challenged by relevant authorities. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years preceding the year of review. Management is not aware of any circumstances that could lead to significant tax charges and penalties in the future that have not been provided for or disclosed in these financial statements. Uncertain tax positions of the Company and of the Portfolio Companies are reassessed by management at the end of each reporting period. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than

on income are recognized based on management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period.

There is also a risk that upon changes in economic conditions, political situation in the country or due to any other reasons,

new taxes on shareholders of the Company, the Company or the Operational Companies will appear or the rates of current taxes will increase, therefore the price, liquidity and/or attractiveness of the Shares or the value of investments of the Company may decrease.

19. The main indications about internal control and risk management systems related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The Audit Committee supervises preparation of the financial statements, systems of internal control and financial risk management and how the company follows legal acts that regulate preparation of consolidated financial statements.

20. Significant investments made during the reporting period

The company is interested in specialized IT companies working in robotics, analytics and other fields. INVL Technology will seek to implement new investments through its currently managed companies

Taking
due
account
of
the
company-related

remuneration and audit committees12
5.1.2.

committees. In such case companies should explain in detail why
they have chosen the alternative approach, and how the chosen
approach corresponds with the objectives set for the three different

performance on a regular basis. The authority of each committee
defining its role and specifying its rights and duties should be made
public at least once a year (as part of the information disclosed by
the company on its governance structure and practice on an annual
basis). In compliance with the legal acts regulating the processing
of personal data, companies should also include in their annual
reports the statements of the existing committees on their

5.1.6.

of the committees, the members of the collegial body who are not
members of the committees should normally have a right to
participate in the meetings of the committee only if invited by the
committee. A committee may invite or request that certain
employees of the company or experts would participate in the
meeting. Chair of each committee should have the possibility to
maintain direct communication with the shareholders. Cases where
such practice is to be applied should be specified in the rules
regulating the activities of the committee.

experience in the management body, prepare a description of the
functions and capabilities required to assume a particular position
and assess the time commitment expected;
2) assess, on a regular basis, the structure, size and composition of
the supervisory and management bodies as well as the skills,
knowledge and activity of its members, and provide the collegial
body with recommendations on how the required changes should
be sought;

not formed due to the
nature of the Company's
management
and
the
absence of employees.

collegial body who have employment relationships with the
company and the heads of the administration, the manager of the
company should be consulted by granting him/her the right to
submit proposals to the Nomination Committee.
NO Appointment committee is
not formed due to the
nature of the Company's
management
and
the
absence of employees.
