Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence manola eateficient of the Republic of Limiania and the I.SBA Code. We list for our opinion.

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 carrent period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements and in period. These matters were addressed in the context of fur audit of the context opinion on these matters.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation of relation of the adult including our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our to the risks of material misclaid misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the procedules performly

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Uncertainty related to the fine imposed by the Competition Council

As disclosed in Note 27 of the consolidated financial 21 December 2017 the Competition Council ruled that AB Panevėžio statybos trestas has breached the competition Jaw regulations when concluding joint activity agreements for participation in certain tenders and imposed a fine of EUR 8.5 million. The management disagrees with the decision of the Competition Council and filed an appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania with the request to cancel the fine imposed after the unfavourable decision taken by Vilnius Regional

Among other procedures, our audit procedures included discussions with the management and the management's external legal advisor about the facts and circumstances concerning the Competition Council decision and the arguments underlying the management's assessment of the potential outcome of the lawsuit and resulting management's disclosure of the contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures also included reading the appeal filed by the Group to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court, discussing with the external legal

The key audit matter

Administrative Court on this matter, and the payment of the fine is currently deferred till the resolution of the case by the Court. Considering the expected outcome of this uncertainty the management recorded no provision as of 31 December 2018 and 2017 in respect of the fine imposed by the Competition Council in the Group's consolidated financial statements.

This matter was significant for our audit because an adverse outcome of this lawsuit would have a material effect on the financial statements of the Group and it involves significant management judgement to assess the probable outcome of this uncertainty and consequently the amount of provision to be recorded and/or contingent liability to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition for constructions contracts in progress

The Group's main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in Notes 2, 3.13 and 18, the Group recognizes revenue from the customer specific construction contracts in progress as of year-end based on the estimated stage of completion of the projects, which is assessed by reference to the proportion of total costs incurred through the reporting date compared to total costs of the contract estimated by management.

This matter was significant to our audit because recognition of revenue for the reporting year is highly dependent on the judgment exercised by management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete the construction contract and changes in these judgments and related estimates throughout a contract life can result in material adjustments to revenue and margin recognised on contracts, which can be either positive or negative.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

advisor of the Group the progress of the case since our last year's audit procedures as well as reading the external legal advisor's letter responding to our inquiries about this uncertainty. Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 27 of the consolidated financial statements on this matter.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

  • Analysing the Group's assessment of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers implementation.
  • Testing the Group's controls over the recognition of revenue from construction contracts, including allocation of revenues and costs to a specific contract.
  • Retrospective consideration of the accuracy of management's management bias by comparing the historical financial performance of selected contracts completed in 2018 with the total cost estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as of 31 December 2017.
  • Considering whether all loss making contracts were properly identified and accounted for.
  • Selecting a sample of contracts with greatest potential impact on the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, considering both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique in their nature, for additional testing as outlined below.

For the sample of contracts selected, we have considered the adequacy of the management's estimate on the amount of revenue to be recognized in the financial statements by performing the following procedures, among others:

  • comparing the contracts signed with customers against the total contract value estimates included in the management's calculations;
  • considering the management's estimated costs required to complete the contracts by reference to our understanding of the contract scope and the management's contracts' cost budgets and our inquiries of contract managers;

The key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in the audit

  • tracing costs incurred up to date as per management's estimation of the stage of completion to the costs included in the statement of comprehensive income, considering also whether they are reflective of the actual progress of the work and only take into account eligible items;
  • considering the reasonableness of the margins recognised by the Group for the projects in progress taking into account our understanding of the contract scope and the historical performance of the Group;
  • and tracing actual contract revenues accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income to the estimation of the management of the amounts of revenue to be recognized for the contracts in progress based on the assessment of their stage of completion.

Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in the financial statements.

Assessment of impairment of projects under development in Kaliningrad

The Group has projects under development in its subsidiary ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kaliningrad with the total carrying value of EUR 5.4 million as of 31 December 2018, which are accounted under inventory in the statement of financial position. Project development costs capitalized as of 31 December 2018 mostly represent cost of acquired land and incurred infrastructure development costs. As disclosed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements certain impairment risk factors indicate that the value of these projects might be impaired and the management assessed the net realizable value to the reference of the estimated market prices of real estate projects, considering the valuations of land used in the development projects performed by independent valuator. As a result no impairment was recognized by the management in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of related management estimation.

Among other procedures, we involved a valuation specialist to assist us with the assessment of external independent valuations used by the management in the estimation of the recoverable value of these projects under development. Our considerations, among others, included:

  • Considerations about the independent external appraiser's competence, capabilities and objectivity;
  • Understanding the methods used by the external appraiser to estimate market values;
  • Consideration of the accuracy and relevance of the input data provided by management to the external appraiser where discounted cash flows method was used. We considered the key assumptions used by the management in the discounted cash flows, including discount rates, cost of construction, market rent price level, vacancy rates and other;
  • Consideration of the reasonableness of the level of market prices used were comparable market prices method was used.

Finally, we considered the Group's analysis of the sensitivity of the impairment tests' results to changes in key assumptions and the adequacy of the Group's disclosures in the financial statements.

Uncertainty related to customer claim

As disclosed in Note 27 of the consolidated financial statements, the subsidiary of the Group has received a significant claim from the customer. The management disagrees with the claim and has taken defensive actions. Considering the expected outcome of this

Among other procedures, our audit procedures included discussions with the management and the receipt of responses from the management's external legal advisors about the facts and circumstances concerning the claim, reading the Board meeting

The key audit matter

uncertainty the management recorded no provision in respect of the claim received in the Group's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018.

This matter was significant for our audit because an adverse outcome of this claim would be material to the Group and it involves a significant management judgement to assess the probable outcome of this uncertainty and consequently the amount of provision required and/or contingent liability to be disclosed as of 31 December 2018.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

minutes held on the matter, reading communication with the insurance entity and the customer on this matter to the extent provided to us by the management and considering the arguments underlying the management's assessment of the potential outcome of the claim.

Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in the Note 27 on this matter.

2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter IFRSs).

Basis of measurement

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings which are measured using the revaluation model, and investment property, which is measured at fair value.

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, euro (EUR), which is the Parent company's functional currency as well as of subsidiaries operating in Lithuania and Latvia. The functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries are the respective foreign currencies of the country of residence. Items included in the financial statements of these subsidiaries are measured using their functional currency. The principles of functional currency exchange to the currency of the Group's financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.1.

Due to rounding of certain amounts to thousand, figures in the tables may differ. Such rounding bias is immaterial in these financial statements.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • · Note 13 deferred taxes recognition. Deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences could be utilized.
  • · Note 13 fair value of land and buildings, accounted at revalued amount, useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The Group verifies economic useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year - (Note 3.3).
  • · Note 16 fair value of investment property. The Group approached independent appraisers so that they would evaluate the fair values of these assets.
  • · Note 17 measurement of net realizable value of inventories. A key factor in estimating the net realizable value of inventories is the recoverability of ongoing construction projects. Therefore, the Group engaged external appraisers to estimate the fair values of these projects based on discounted cash flow or comparable price technique.
  • · Note 18 impairment of trade receivables and estimation of stage of completion of construction contracts, contract assets and liabilities. The accurate recording of revenue on contracts in progress is highly dependent on judgment exercised by management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of forecasted costs as it is the key assumption in the assessment of the stage of completion of the contracts in progress. Estimating recoverable amounts of receivables is a process, which requires significant management judgement and estimates, particularly those that are related to future cash flows. The judgment was applied in estimating the amounts to be collected and their timing.
  • · Note 24 warranty provision is calculated by the Group on a monthly basis based on monthly revenue. Warranty provision is being calculated by taking into account revenue, actual warranty expenses incurred in previous periods, its proportion against actual sales and historical information.
  • · Note 27 contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements as based on the management judgement it is more likely than not, that the Group will win the legal disputes mentioned in the note, or it is not possible to assess reliably the possible outcome of the contingency at the moment.

Significant accounting policies 3.

Basis of consolidation

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if. and only if, the Group has:

Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. All intergroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions among the Group companies have been eliminated. The equity and net income attributable to non-controlling interests, if any, are shown separately in the statement of financial position and the statement of comprehensive income.

Total comprehensive income of a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

Acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interest by the Group are accounted as equity transaction: the difference between the carrying value of the net assets acquired from/disposed to the non-controlling interests in the Group's financial statements and the acquisition price/proceeds from disposal is accounted directly in equity.

Change of ownership share in the subsidiary when control is accounted for as equity transaction. If the Group loses control of the subsidiary Group, it:

  • · Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
  • · Derecognises the carrying amount of non-controlling interest, if any;
  • · Derecognises accumulated currency exchange differences accounted for in equity;
  • · Accounts for consideration received at fair value;
  • · Accounts for retained investment at fair value;
  • · Accounts for arising surplus or deficit in the profit or loss under finance activity;
  • · Reclassifies the components previously recognized in other comprehensive income and attributable to the parent company to the statement of comprehensive income or retained earnings respectively.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through statement of comprehensive income.

Basis of consolidation (cont'd)

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Impairment is assessed annually. Accounted impairment is not restated. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. This arrangement has the following characteristics:

  • · The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement.
  • · The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement.

The Group has a joint arrangement that is a joint operation.

As a joint operator the Group recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

  • · its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;
  • · its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
  • · its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
  • · its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and
  • · its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2018:

· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

The final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. The Group applied IFRS 9 prospectively, with an initial application date of 1 January 2018, no practical expedients have been used. Adoption of the standard had no impact on the Group's financial statements (therefore there is no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of 1 January 2018), except for the presentation of the required additional disclosures described in accounting policy (Note 3.2). The Group has not restated the comparative information, which continues to be reported under IAS 39.

· IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related Interpretations and it applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard's requirements will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property, plant and equipment or intangibles). 15 establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract. In addition, the standard requires extensive additional disclosures, which are presented in these financial statements as relevant.

The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2018. According to the modified approach, the standard can be initially applied either to all contracts on 1 January 2018 or only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application. The Group applied it to the contracts not yet completed as of 1 January 2018, no practical expedients have been used, except as disclosed in Note 3.13.

The adoption of IFRS 15 had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group (therefore there is no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of 1 January 2018), except for the presentation of the required additional disclosures described in accounting policy in Note 3.13 and Note 18. The comparative information was not restated and continues to be reported under IAS 11, IAS 18 and related Interpretations.

IFRS 15 had an effect on the presentation of the following line items in the statements of financial position and comprehensive income as of 31 December 2018 and for the year then ended:

As at 31 December 2018 In accordance with
THRIS 15
According to previous
TFRSs
Received prepayments 0 875
Other liabilities 875 ()
2018
Income from contracts with clients 104 861
Sales income 1 104 861

In addition, as described in Notes 18 and 25 as a result of adoption of IFRS 15 accrued income as of 31 December 2017 is presented as contract assets as of 31 December 2018, while deferred income and prepayments received as of 31 December 2017 are presented as contract liabilities as of 31 December 2018.

· IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Clarifications)

The objective of the Clarifications is to clarify the IASB's intentions when developing the requirements in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, particularly the accounting of identifying performance obligations amending the wording of the "separately identifiable" principle, of principal versus agent considerations including the assessment of whether an entity is a principal or an agent as well as applications of control principle and of licensing providing additional guidance for accounting of intellectual property and royalties. The Clarifications also provide additional practical expedients for entities that either apply IFRS 15 fully retrospectively or that elect to apply the modified retrospective approach. As described above, the application of the standard and standard adoption did not have a significant impact for the Group.

· IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share based Payment Transactions (Amendments)

The Amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and nonvesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations and for modifications to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The Group does not have share based payment transactions and these amendments did not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

· IAS 40: Transfers to Investment Property (Amendments)

The Amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The Amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. Amendments had no material impact on the Group's financial statements.

· IFRIC INTERPETATION 22: Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The Interpretation covers foreign currency transactions when an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or a non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration before the entity recognizes the related asset, expense or income. The Interpretation states that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the nonmonetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Interpretation had no material impact on the Group's financial statements.

The LASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. Management has adopted improvements and they had no impact on the Group's financial statements.

· IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: The amendments clarify that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investmentby-investment basis, upon initial recognition.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group has not applied the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued but not vet effective:

IFRS 16: Leases

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their financial statements. Lessees will have a single accounting model for all leases, with certain exemptions. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged. The Group's management has made an evaluation of standard adoption impact and considers it not significant as the Group only has a few lease contracts that are insignificant.

· Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.

· IFRS 9: Prepayment features with negative compensation (Amendment)

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract (so that, from the perspective of the holder of the asset there may be 'negative compensation'), to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment

· IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments)

The Amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments relate to whether the measurement, in particular impairment requirements, of long term interests in associates and joint ventures that, in substance, form part of the 'net investment' in the associate or joint venture should be governed by IFRS 9, IAS 28 or a combination of both. The Amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, before it applies IAS 28, to such long-term interests for which the equity method is not applied. In applying IFRS 9, the entity does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying amount of long- term interests that arise from applying IAS 28. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.

· IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments require entities to use updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement has occurred. The amendments also clarify how the accounting for a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement affects applying the asset ceiling requirements. The Amendments are not expected to be applicable for the Group.

· IFRIC INTERPETATION 23: Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The Interpretation provides guidance on considering uncertain tax treatments separately or together, examination by tax authorities, the appropriate method to reflect uncertainty and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances. This Interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this interpretation.

· IFRS 3: Business Combinations (Amendments)

The IASB issued amendments in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The Amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period, with earlier application permitted. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.

· IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of 'material' (Amendments)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied. The new definition states that, 'Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity'. In addition, the explanations acGrouping the definition have been improved. The Amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.

  • · The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015 2017 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. These annual improvements have not yet been endorsed by the EU. It is not expected that the application of these amendments will have significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
    • IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

    • IAS 12 Income Taxes: The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognized according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits has been recognized.

    • IAS 23 Borrowing Costs: The amendments clarify paragraph 14 of the standard that, when a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, and some of the specific borrowing related to that qualifying asset remains outstanding at that point, that borrowing is to be included in the funds that an entity borrows generally.

Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards

The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on 29 March 2018. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. IASB also issued a separate grouping documents to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

The Group plans to adopt the above mentioned standards and interpretations not earlier than their effective date provided they are endorsed by the EU.

3.1 Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rates of the European Central Bank ruling at the reporting date. The foreign currency gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognized in statement of financial position. Currency exchange gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Effect of translation is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

3.2 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

A regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at:

  • a) Amortised cost (debt instruments);
  • b) Fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (debt instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2018 and 2017;
  • c) Fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2018 and 2017;
  • d) Fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2018 and 2017.

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial i) assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • ii) are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables, loans granted and contract assets.

Impairment of financial assets

Following IFRS 9, in common case scenario, the Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. BCLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

(a) Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets

Based on assessment of the Management, trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component and accordingly their impairment is assessed by applying a simplified approach, i.e. for material individual customers the management performs an assessment of specifically expected credit losses, taking into account the customer's credit history as well as forward looking factors and risk factors specific to the debtor. For all remaining receivables the Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss

experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

(b) Assessment of impairment of loans granted

The Group is granting loans under the agreements with defined repayment terms. In a common case scenario the expected 12-months credit losses are assessed and accounted upon issue of the loan. In subsequent periods, given the absence of significant increase in the credit risk associated with the debtor, the Group re-assesses the 12-months ECL balance based on the loan amount still outstanding as of the date of the re-assessment. If it is determined that the financial position of the debtor has significantly deteriorated in comparison with the position when the loan was issued, the Group accounts for ECL over the remaining life of the loans subject to assessment of lifetime ECL is considered to be credit-impaired financial assets.

The Group considers that the debtor has defaulted on the obligations associated with the financial assets, if the contractual payments are overdue more than 90 days or when there are indications that the debtor, or the group of debtors, are facing significant financial difficulties, default on the payments of principal amount or interest, and there is a probability that bankruptcy or reorganization procedures will be initiated, as well as when observable data indicates that the decrease of expected future cash flows is likely, e.g. change in the overdue days or change in the economic factors that correlate with the defaults on the obligations.

Impairment losses on trade receivables and loans granted are recognized in profit (loss) using contra-asset accounts. Financial assets are derecognized when there is no reasonable expectation to recover contractual cash flows.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings and payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables. Ioans received, including bank overdrafts and finance lease liabilities.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below.

Loans received and other payables

After initial recognition, loans and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the statement of comprehensive income.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, i.e. to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

IFRS 9 adoption impact as of 1 January 2018

The classification and measurements of IFRS 9 did not have a significant impact to the Group. Trade receivables and other non-current financial assets classified as Loans and receivables as at 31 December 2017 are held to collect contractual cash flows and give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest. These are classified and measured as Debt instruments at amortised cost beginning 1 January 2018. The Group had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value under IAS 39. There are no changes in classification and measurement for the Group's financial liabilities.

As described above, the adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed accounting for impairment losses for financial assets by replacing IAS 39's incurred loss approach with a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach. IFRS 9 requires the Group to recognize an allowance for ECLs for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss and contract assets. Upon adoption of IFRS 9 the Group recognized additional impairment on the trade receivables in the amount of EUR 83 thousand in 2018 and as additional impairment was not material as of 1 January 2018, the Group has not adjusted the opening retained earnings balance in equity upon adoption of the IFRS 9. IFRS 9 adoption had no material effect on the impairment of the loans granted and other financial assets, as in accordance to the management estimate considering the Group's clients creditworthiness and amounts repayment, estimated potential credit losses are immaterial or are not present at all.

Financial instrument accounting until 1 January 2018

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, loans and other financial borrowings, trade and other payables. The Group had no held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial instruments are recognized on the trade date. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, if any. Current receivables are not discounted.

Allowance for doubtful receivables is evaluated when the indications leading to the impairment of accounts receivable are noticed and the carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognised (written off) when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Loans, financial borrowings and other financial liabilities, including trade payables, are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Current liabilities are not discounted.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group's statement of financial position) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or i)
  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has ii) assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Group involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay (amount of the guarantee).

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment except for land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Land and buildings are carried at revalued amount which is their fair value as at the revaluation date less subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from their fair values as at reporting date. The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified independent real estate valuation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land and buildings each year and is transferred directly to retained earnings.

In case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of the assets exceeds their carrying value, the carrying value is increased to the fair value and the amount of increase is included into revaluation reserve of property, plant and equipment as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such increase in revaluation is recognized as income to the extent it does not exceed the weres of previous revaluation recognized in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated from the depreciable amount which is equal to acquisition cost or revaluated mount less residual value of an asset.

3.3 Property, plant and equipment (cont'd)

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of the Group's self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are capitalized.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is written off. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are the following:

· Buildings and structures 8-40 years
· Plant and equipment 5-10 years
· Vehicles 5-10 years
· Fixtures and fittings 3-6 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

3.4 Non-current intangible assets

Software and other intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life is 3 years.

The Group does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful life.

3.5 Investment property

Investment properties of the Group consist of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production, or supply of goods, or services or for administration purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

3.5 Investment property (cont'd)

Acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of raw materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs are capitalized in assets that comply with capitalisations requirements.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.

3.6 Leased assets

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a leased on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. All other leases are treated as operating leases and leased assets are not capitalized.

The Group's buildings that are leased according to operating lease agreements are accounted in the statement of financial position as investment property. Lease income is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease period.

3.7 Inventories

Capitalized costs related to the real estate development projects for sale in the usual activities of the Group, are classified as inventories and carried at lower of the cost or net realisable value (NRV).

Capitalised costs include land, construction, sub-contracting and other project development costs,

Other inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.

3.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank accounts as well as deposits in bank with original term equal to or less than 3 months and tax bank accounts.

3.9 Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit).

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognised in profit or loss. However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Such an impairment loss on a revalued asset reduces the revaluation surplus for that asset.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.10 Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

3.11 Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying construction services are sold (assurance type warranty). The provision is based on historical warranty data and probabilities.

3.12 Employee benefits

The Group does not have any defined contribution and benefit plans and has no share based payment schemes. Post-employment obligations to employees retired on pension are borned by the State.

According to the requirements of Lithuanian Labour Code, each employee leaving Group at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment in the amount of 2 month salary.

The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of curtailment and/or settlement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. The past service costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in other comprehensive income as incurred. The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. Obligation is recognized in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of these benefits on the preparation date of the statement of financial position. Present value of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the discount rate which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar maturity as the employment benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in statement of other comprehensive income as incurred.

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as a current expense in the period when employees render the services. These include salaries and wages, social security contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other benefits.

3.13 Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers (since 1 January 2018)

The majority of the Group's revenue comes from the construction of buildings, construction, equipment and networks, and the production and assembly of panel houses. In addition, as described in Note 5, the Group earns revenue from the design and manufacturing of metal structures. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services or goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or goods. Generally the Group has no material variable price components in its contracts with customers.

The Group has concluded that generally it is the principal in its construction services contracts even when the subcontractors are used in the implementation of the projects, because:

  • · The Group controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer;
  • The Group is primarily responsible for the general completion of the contract with the customer and bears risk of non-performance;
  • The Group has latitude in establishing price.

Significant management judgments made in relation to revenue recognition from the contracts with customers are disclosed in Note 2.

Performance obligations arising from the construction contracts with customers' contracts for the assembly of panel houses and the design and production of metal structures are fulfilled over time and respectively revenue from these contracts and installation services are recognized over time if any of the following criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs; (b) the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

When the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, the Group recognizes revenue and expenses in relation to each construction contract over time, based on the progress of performance. The progress of performance is assessed based on the proportion of the costs incurred in fulfilling the contract up to date over to the total estimated costs of the contract.

3.13 Revenue (cont'd)

When the Group is not be able to reasonably measure the outcome of a performance obligation (for example, in the early stages of a contract), but the entity expects to recover the costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligation, the Group recognizes revenue only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation. When it is determined that the costs of the contract are expected to exceed the revenue, the entire estimated loss amount is recognized in profit (loss).

Contract modification (scope or price, or both) is accounted for as a separate contract with customer, if the scope of the contract increases because of the addition of promised goods on services that are distinct and the price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the Group's stand-alone selling prices of the additional promised goods or services in the circumstances of the particular contract. Otherwise the contract modification is accounted as (a) termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification or (b) part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. The effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the Group's measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification.

Provisions for loss making contracts are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) to complete the construction contract for the third party for the price that is lower than the total estimated cost to perform the contract as of the financial statements. The difference (loss) between the contract price and the total estimated cost of delivery under the contract is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

When fulfilling the contracts the Group can receive short term prepayments from its customers. Applying the practical expedient, the Group is not adjusting the price allocation by the financing component, if at the inception of the contract it is expected that the time period from the customer payment for goods/services till the delivery of these goods/services will not exceed one year.

Contract balances

Contract assets

Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration, except any amounts that are recognized as receivables.

Trade receivables

Trade receivable represents the Group's right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Receivables are accounted in accordance with IFRS 9 (Note 3.2).

Contract liability

A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.

Income from other services or sales of goods is recognized when the control over service/goods is transferred to the customer, although such transactions are relatively not material.

3.13 Revenue (cont'd)

Income from sales (until 1 January 2018)

Construction contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work and other payments to the extent that it is highly probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a customer specific construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is assessed by proportion of actual cost incurred and the budgeted cost of construction contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Revenue from services is recognised when service is provided.

Onerous contracts provision is recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) to complete a construction work to a third party for a price lower than its cost of sales at the reporting date. The difference between the value of the contract and its selling price at the reporting date is charged to cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income.

If receivables from customers are bigger than recognised income under unfinished construction contracts, the difference is presented in the statement of financial position as deferred income. Prepayments for construction contracts not yet started in the statement of financial position as received prepayments. If receivables from customers are lower than recognised income under unfinished construction contracts, the difference is presented in the statement of financial position as accrued income.

3.14 Finance income and costs

Finance income comprises interest income and dividends. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized on the date that the right to receive payment is established. Finance costs comprise interest expense and other financial expenses. Interest expenses are recognized using effective interest rate method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.

3.15 Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates from the overall results of the Group enacted at the reporting date. Each Company of the Group is taxed individually, irrespective the consolidated Group's results.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method. Deferred tax is recognized, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Starting from 1 January 2014 the tax loss carried forward cannot exceed 70% of the taxable profit of current financial year in Lithuania. Tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the company changes its activities due to which these losses were incurred except when the company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the company itself. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.

3.16 Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share.

3.17 Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker of the Group to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment results that are reported to the chief operating decision maker of the Group include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

3.18 Determination of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its nonperformance risk. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level imput that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods and assumptions described Note 14, 16 and 29. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

3.19 Off-setting

When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses are not set off except for the cases where the International Financial Reporting Standards specifically requires such off-setting.

এ... Financial risk management

Overview

The Group has exposure to the following financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of these risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included in other notes to these consolidated financial statements.

The Board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers.

The Group controls credit risk by credit policies and procedures. The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed for creditworthiness before the standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Customers that fail to meet the benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis.

The measure of credit risk is the maximum credit risk for each class of financial instruments, which is equal to their carrying amount. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk in relation to particular classes corresponds to their book value.

The maximum exposure to credit risk can be specified as follows:

Ageing of gross trade receivables as at the reporting date can be specified as follows:

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are specific losses that relate to individually significant accounts receivable and expected credit losses recognised using ELCs method (after applying the requirements of IFRS 9). Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experience.

Current other financial assets as at 31 December 2017 include term deposits at banks and receivable from the bankrupt subsidiary, which is impaired (Note 19).

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank; therefore, the related credit risk is minimum.

Although collection of loans and receivables could be influenced by economic factors, the management believes that there is no significant risk of loss to the Group beyond the impairment already recorded.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. Typically, the Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates will affect the results of the Group. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. As at 31 December 2018 and 2017 the Group did not use any derivative financial instruments.

Currency risk. The Group is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency rates on sales and receivables, purchases payables and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

During the year, currency exchange rates in respect of the euro were as follows:

31 31
December Average December Average
2018 2018 2017 2017
1 SBK = 0.0973 0.0975 0.1016 0.1038

The following table presents the Group's income before tax sensitivity to expected currency rate fluctuations, considering all other variables as constants (in accordance with changes in fair value of financial asset and liability).

The effect of obligations denominated in Euro in Russian subsidiary:

Increase (decrease)
in currency rate

EUR +15,00 % (1 920)
EUR -15,00 % 1 920
2017
EUR +15,00 % (1 842)
EUR -15,00 % 1 842

Interest rate risk. All the Group's loans received and granted, and other borrowings are subject to variable interest rates linked to EURIBOR. No financial instruments are used to manage the risk. Taking into consideration the current level of issued and received loans, the likely change of interest rate would not have a material effect.

Capital management

The Boards of directors policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board of directors monitors the return on capital and proposes the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders based on the Group's financial results and strategic plans.

The Board of directors also aims to keep balance between bigger return which could be available if there was higher level of borrowed assets and security which is provided by higher level of equity. The Group adheres to the requirement set in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania under which the equity of the entity must not be less than 1/2 of the authorised capital. As at 31 December 2018 and 2017 the Group was in line with this regulation. The Group's capital management policy did not change during the year.

For capital management purpose, capital consists of share capital, retained earnings, revaluation reserve and legal reserve.

5. Segments

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on type of activities and has four reportable segments:

  • 0 Construction;
  • Steel structures;
  • Panel houses; .
  • Other activity. ●

The segment of construction includes operations of AB Panevėžio statybos trestas, UAB Vekada, UAB Alinita and PS Trests SIA.

The segment of steel structures includes operation of UAB Metalo meistrai. The main field of activity is designing and fabrication of steel structures for construction purposes. The Group also supplies steel structures for other companies where steel items are required.

The segment of panel houses includes operation of UAB Skydmedis. The main field of activity is production, construction and outfit of pre-fabricated timber panel houses.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Deferred tax asset of impairment of a part of accounts receivable and tax differences in foreign jurisdictions has not been recognized due to uncertainty of realisation.

The tax loss carried forward as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 1 193 thousand (as at 31 December 2017: EUR 227 thousand). Tax loss carry forward can be utilised indefinitely.

Group's deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been netted-off to the extent to which they are related to the same tax authority and the same taxable entity.

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed as at 31 December 2018 based on the consultations on possible market prices of the Group's land and buildings provided by independent valuation Group, having appropriate recognized professional qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain category. The valuation was performed using the market comparison technique (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). Significant unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value would increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in price per square meter/are. Management considers, if there are any indications that the carrying value of land and buildings is significantly different from the market value on an annual basis for financial reporting purposes. To verify management assessment, every five years external valuation report by valuation expert is performed. If the buildings were stated at cost model, their carrying amount as at 31 December 2018 would be equal to EUR 1 374 thousand (31 December 2017: EUR 1 437 thousand).

As at 31 December 2018, acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted to EUR 9 782 thousand (as at 31 December 2017, EUR 9 095 thousand).

During the year 2015, the Group acquired a 14-floor hotel Panevėžys in Panevėžys, 16.73 % of which is rented out to third parties, and the rest of the hotel is not used. The Group has no detailed plans regarding the use of the remaining part of the building yet; however, the building is not planned to be used in the Group's activities; therefore, the whole building is classified as an investment property.

The fair value measurement of the property has been determined by valuation of the building carried out by the independent property appraisers UAB Ober-Haus, having appropriate professional qualification and relevant valuation experience. While carrying out the valuation the discounted cash flows method was used (discount rate - 9%, exit yield - 7%, occupation rate of first and second floor 80-90%; the same assumptions were used in 2018 and 2017).

If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), then this investment property fair value would decrease approximately by EUR 90 thousand and if exit yield would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed) fair value of investment property would decrease by EUR 80 thousand. The change in fair value, if any, is reported under other income.

At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable for hotel premises under non-cancellable lease agreements were the following: EUR 87 thousand receivable in less than one year, EUR 35 thousand receivable between one and five years (31 December 2017: EUR 90 thousand receivable in less than one year. EUR 49 thousand receivable between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2018 amounted to EUR 99 thousand (in 2017: EUR 93 thousand) and was accounted under other income.

In addition, as at 31 December 2018, the Group reclassified rented for third parties operational buildings, storages and other premises to investment property. Estimated fair value of these buildings as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 262 thousand, which was evaluated in accordance with the reports of independent real estate appraisers and a percentage of rented space. The assessment of assets was carried out by UAB Corporation Matininkai. Assets were evaluated using comparable and income methods, with regard to their bigger value. An average discount rate of 11.91% was applied to income method in accordance with equity and loan portion weight.

Expected rental receivables of this investment property under uncancellable contracts as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 45 thousand in less than a year, and EUR 172 thousand within one to five years. In 2018, rental income comprised EUR 45 thousand and was accounted under other income

The fair value of the investment property amounted to EUR 1 562 thousand (in 2017, EUR 1 300 thousand) and was attributed to Level 3 in fair value hierarchy.

To support the net realizable value of the project developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kaliningrad, the Group has obtained a fair value estimate prepared by an independent property appraiser. According to the evaluation of the real estate experts from Valtus Ltd (Moscow, Russia), the fair value of the project developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket as at 30 November 2018 amounted to EUR 9 700 thousand. There were no significant changes in the real estate market during the last month of 2018, therefore, based on the management's assessment, the capitalised cost value as at 31 December 2018 was not impaired.

17. Inventories (cont'd)

Six out of seven of ZAO ISK Baltevromarket developed land plots for commercial purposes were valuated using the comparable value method, based on which the value of the land plots are EUR 5 700 thousand; remaining land plot was valuated using the discounted cash flows method, based on which the value of the land plot is EUR 4 000 thousand. The key inputs used by the valuator in the discounted cash flows method could be detailed as follows:

  • · discount rate 25%;
  • Disposal of land plot 71 EUR/sq. m;
  • · Significant unmonitored data used to determine fair value price for 1 sq. m, planned project management cost, discount rate.

The fair value of the land plots evaluated using comparable value method would increase if the price per 1 sq. m. was higher and would decrease if price per 1 sq. m. was lower. If the disposal price of this type of land plots decreased by 5 %, fair value would decrease by approximately EUR 390 thousand.

If the discount rate of land plot for residential purposes, which was evaluated using discounted cash flows method, increased by 0.25% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), the fair value of land plot would decrease by EUR 33 thousand, if the land plot disposal price decreased by 5%, it would result in fair value decrease by EUR 271 thousand. If project management cost increased by 5%, the estimated net realizable value would decrease by EUR 36 thousand.

As at 31 December 2017 six out of seven of AO ISK Baltevromarket developed land plots were valuated using the comparable value method, based on which the value of the land plots were EUR 2 343 thousand; remaining land plot was valuated using the discounted cash flows method, based on which the value of the land plot is EUR 7 130 thousand. The key imputs used by the appraiser in the discounted cash flows method could be detailed as follows:

  • discount rate 20%;
  • · exit yield 11.5%;
  • · shopping centre area: annual rent prices from 45 to 372 EUR/sq. m., occupancy rate - from 70% in the first year to 95% in the last year of the model for different premises.

The recoverable value of project developed by UAB "Ateities projektai" was assessed based on independent real estate appraiser's "Ober-Haus nekilnojamas turtas" consultation on possible market price as of 31 December 2018. Comparable prices technique was used. Fair value would increase if price per 1 hectares would be higher and decrease if price per hectares would be lower for land plot.

Key assumptions used in valuation of real estate project developed by UAB Šeškinės Projektai are: profit on cost ratio - 20 %, sales prices - from 1 961 to 3 189 EUR/sq. m. and construction cost - 1 046 EUR/sq. m. The key assumptions used in the valuation of the year 2017 were as follows: profit on cost ratio - 20 %, sales prices - from 1 754 to 6 510 EUR/sq. m. (parking lot) and construction cost - 917 EUR/sq. m.

Legal contingencies

The Company is involved in several legal cases. Based on management assessment, they will not have a significant impact for the financial statements, except below mentioned cases:

1) The Competition Council has made a decision as of 21 December 2017 ,,regarding UAB Irdaiva and AB PST actions in joint participation in public tenders of buildings renovation and modernization works meeting the requirements of 5th article of the Competition law of the Republic of Lithuania". Based on the Competition Council decision joint activity agreement signed between the Company and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders organized by UAB Vilniaus vystymo kompanija intended to limit competition and violated the requirements of 5th article 1p of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania. A fine was set to the Company in total amount of EUR 8 514 thousand. The Company's management does not agree with the decision of the Competition Council and argues it in full extent, having the position that cooperation with UAB Irdaiva was incorrectly considered as agreement with intention to limit competition. The Company has provided a claim to Vilnius county court asking to cancel the fine set by the Competition Council, and after ruling in favour of the opponent, the Company appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania. The court has not made a decision yet. Legal maturity of the fine is suspended until the final decision of the court.

The management based on all know facts and circumstances, believes that this is more likely than not that the Company will receive a positive decision and did not account for any provision related with the decision made by the Competition Council described above in these financial statements.

2) In civil case with RUAB "Arno vila" the Company has received a claim to reduce construction price by EUR 330 thousand. At the moment there is court's assessment of the construction works taking place.

Management assessed the arguments of the claim and believes in positive result of the claim. In addition, the Company initiated criminal proceedings to RUAB "Arno vila" owner A. Stravinskas for EUR 2 609 thousand damages made.

  • 3) On 24 October 2018, the Thirteenth Court of Commercial Arbitration of the Russian Federation annulled the Kaliningrad region decision of Arbitration Court and satisfied the demand of one of the creditors of the subsidiary OOO Baltlitstroj for AB Panevėžio statybos trestas to repay back the returned loan of RUB 75 million to OOO Baltlitstroj (~ EUR 945 thousand). This decision is appealed in cassation. Having evaluated all the known circumstances, the management recognized additional impairment of receivable amount from the subsidiary in the financial statements of 2018 (Note 19) and believes that, considering expected outcome of this uncertainty, no additional provision has to be accounted in these financial statements.
  • 4) A subsidiary of the Group has received a claim with the initial amount of EUR 2 million from one of its clients. The management has performed its own technical examination and does not agree with the claim. At the moment, the matter in question is still being processed with the client and the final amount of the claim is still not clear as the subsidiary has not started any legal procedures. In these financial statements, as at 31 December 2018, the Group's management has not accounted for any provisions related to the received claim as, based on the management's assessment, the client's claim is unjustified and the Group is expecting a favorable decision.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2018 and 2017 at the Group. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Group to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments not carried at fair value:

Cash

Cash represents cash in banks and on hand stated at value equal to the fair value.

29. Fair value of financial instruments (cont'd)

Receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of short-term trade and other receivables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as discounting effect was determined to be not material.

The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the loans are subject of market level variable interest.

Loans and borrowings, finance lease

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases and loans the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease and loans agreement. Fair value of shorter term financial liabilities with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Key events of the reporting period

10 January 2018. Panevezio statybos trestas AB has lodged an appeal to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court against the decision No. 2S-11(2017) of the Competition Council dated 20 December 2017, whereby Panevezio statybos trestas AB had been imposed a fine in the amount of 8,513,500 EUR for an agreement presumptively restricting competition.

Risk factors related to the company's activities:

In performance of business, both the Company and the Group face various types of risks: legal regulation, severe competition, shortage of qualified labour, variation in the value of the Russian Rouble, cyclical nature of economy, macroeconomic factors, damping. However, only a few of them may have significant impact on the performance results of the Group and the Company. The main factors that create business risk for the Company and the Group are competition in the construction market and changes in the demand for construction services. The demand for construction services also depends heavily on the volume of investments and financing received from the EU structural funds. Increase and variation of material and service prices make the process of the project budgeting and possibility to complete the already started projects based on the planned costs more difficult. This results in extra risk for performance of fixed price construction contracts and reduces profitability of projects.

Furthermore, activity of the Company and the Group is influenced by the economic situation (economic cycles) in Lithuania and the countries where the Group companies operate. Although the economy has practically recovered after the economic crisis, there is still some uncertainty about the trends in global economic development as well as regional and global crisis in future.

Information on the types of financial risks and risk management is provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 4) and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 4).

Supervisory Board is not set up.
2.2. A collegial management body is responsible for the strategic
management of the company and performs other key functions of
corporate governance. A collegial supervisory body is responsible
for the effective supervision of the company's management bodies.
Yes The supervision of the Company's activities
and the responsibility and control of the Chief
Executive Officer are ensured by the Board,
which analyses and evaluates the material on all
items of the Company operation presented by
the Chief Executive Officer.
2.3. Where a company chooses to form only one collegial body, it
is recommended that it should be a supervisory body, i.e. the
supervisory board. In such a case, the supervisory board is
responsible for the effective monitoring of the functions performed
by the company's chief executive officer.
No The Company in principle complies with this
recommendation, though only one collegial
management body, the Board, is set up,
however the authority assigned to the Board by
the Articles of Association essentially matches
the authority assigned to the Supervisory
Board.
2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected by the general
shareholders' meeting should be set up and should act in the
manner defined in Principles III and IV. Where a company should
decide not to set up a collegial supervisory body but rather a
collegial management body, i.e. the board, Principles III and IV
should apply to the board as long as that does not contradict the
essence and purpose of this body.1
Yes

1 Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders' meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body that is essentially formed to ensure supervision of the company's board and the chief executive officer and to represent the company's shareholders. However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board (e.g. formation of the committees), should not be applied to the board, as the competence and functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) are different. For instance, item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive

2.5. Company's management and supervisory bodies should
comprise such number of board (executive directors) and
supervisory (non-executive directors) board members that no
individual or small group of individuals can dominate decision-
making on the part of these bodies.2
Yes The Board consists of 5 members and this
number is considered to be sufficient.
2.6. Non-executive directors or members of the supervisory board
should be appointed for specified terms subject to individual re-
election, at maximum intervals provided for in the Lithuanian
legislation with a view to ensuring necessary development of
professional experience and sufficiently frequent reconfirmation of
their status. A possibility to remove them should also be stipulated
however this procedure should not be easier than the removal
procedure for an executive director or a member of the
management board.
No As the Law on Companies of the Republic of
Lithuania provides for the possibility to elect
only one either collegial supervision or
management body, the collegial management
body, the Board, is set up in the Company. The
Supervisory Board is not set up.
2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting may be a person whose current or past office
constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent and impartial
supervision. Where a company should decide not to set up a
supervisory board but rather the board, it is recommended that the
chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company
should be a different person. Former company's chief executive
officer should not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the
collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting. When
a company chooses to departure from these recommendations, it
should furnish information on the measures it has taken to ensure
impartiality of the supervision.
Yes The Chairman of the Board represents the main
shareholder and has never been the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company.
Principle HI: The order of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders' meeting
The order of the formation a collegial body a general shareholders' meeting should ensure representation
of minority shareholders, accountability of this body to the shareholders and objective monitoring of the company's
operation and its management bodies.3
3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a collegial body to be
elected by a general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in this
Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure
objective and fair monitoring of the company's management bodies
as well as representation of minority shareholders.
Yes Though there are no independent members of
the Board at the Company, the Board ensures
objective and fair monitoring of the Company's
management bodies as well as representation of
minority shareholders.

2 Definitions 'executive director' and 'non-executive director' are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.

3 Attention should be drawn to the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it is natural that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.

3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to become members of
a collegial body, information about their education, qualification,
professional background, positions taken and potential conflicts of
interest should be disclosed early enough before the general
shareholders' meeting so that the shareholders would have
sufficient time to make an informed voting decision. All factors
affecting the candidate's independence, the sample list of which is
set out in Recommendation 3.7, should be also disclosed. The
collegial body should also be informed on any subsequent changes
in the provided information. The collegial body should, on yearly
basis, collect data provided in this item on its members and disclose
this in the company's annual report.
Yes Information on the positions taken by the
members of the board or their participation in
other companies' operation is continuously
collected and compiled, and at the end of every
year it is revised and presented in the reports
prepared by the Company.
3.3. Should a person be nominated for members of a collegial body,
such nomination should be followed by the disclosure of
information on candidate's particular competences relevant to
his/her service on the collegial body. In order shareholders and
investors are able to ascertain whether member's competence is
further relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual report,
disclose the information on its composition and particular
competences of individual members which are relevant to their
service on the collegial body.
Yes The information on the composition of the
Board is provided in the semi-annual and
annual reports prepared by the Company.
3.4 In order to maintain a proper balance in terms of the current
qualifications possessed by its members, the desired composition
of the collegial body shall be determined with regard to the
company's structure and activities, and have this periodically
evaluated. The collegial body should ensure that it is composed of
members who, as a whole, have the required diversity of
knowledge, judgment and experience to complete their tasks
properly. The members of the audit committee, collectively, should
have a recent knowledge and relevant experience in the fields of
finance, accounting and/or audit for the stock exchange listed
companies. At least one of the members of the remuneration
committee should have knowledge of and experience in the field of
remuneration policy.
Yes considering

the
structure and activities, the
Company's
experience of its members, diversity of
knowledge related to the Company activities
allow doing the work properly.
3.5. All new members of the collegial body should be offered a
tailored program focused on introducing a member with his/her
duties, corporate organization and activities. The collegial body
should conduct an annual review to identify fields where its
members need to update their skills and knowledge.
Yes The new members are introduced with the
Company and the regulations of the Board. The
members of the Board constantly participate at
various refresher courses and seminars where
they collect information about the essential
changes in the legislation regulating the
Company's activities.
3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest related
with a member of the collegial body are resolved properly, the
collegial body should comprise a sufficient number of
independent5 members.
No Historically the Company exhibits the situation
that the sufficiency of the independent
members has not been considered. As the
trading of the Company shares takes place

4 The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

5 It should be noted that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes of the majority shareholders. But even a member of the collegial

actively and the minority shareholders take an
active part in the management of the Company,
the Company will seek implementation of this
principle.
3.7. A member of the collegial body should be considered to be
independent only if he is free of any business, family or other
relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder or the
management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to
impair his judgment. Since all cases when member of the collegial
body is likely to become dependant are impossible to list,
moreover, relationships and circumstances associated with the
determination of independence may vary amongst companies and
the best practices of solving this problem are yet to evolve in the
course of time, assessment of independence of a member of the
collegial body should be based on the contents of the relationship
and circumstances rather than their form. The key criteria for
identifying whether a member of the collegial body can be
considered to be independent are the following:
1) he/she is not an executive director or member of the board
(if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders'
meeting is the supervisory board) of the company or any
associated company and has not been such during the last
five years;
2) he/she is not an employee of the company or some any
company and has not been such during the last three years,
except for cases when a member of the collegial body does
not belong to the senior management and was elected to the
collegial body as a representative of the employees;
3) he/she is not receiving or has been not receiving significant
additional remuneration from the company or associated
company other than remuneration for the office in the
collegial body. Such additional remuneration includes
participation in share options or some other performance
based pay systems; it does not include compensation
payments for the previous office in the company (provided
that such payment is no way related with later position) as
per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations);
4) he/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of
such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive
83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);
5) he/she does not have and did not have any material business
relations with the company or associated company within
the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or
superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A
subject is considered to have business relations when it is a

Code.

6} he'she is not and has not been, during the last three years,
partner or employee of the current or former external audit,
company of the company or associated company;
7) he/she is not an executive director or member of the board
in some other company where executive director of the
company or member of the board (if a collegial body elected
by the general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory
board) is non-executive director or member of the
supervisory board, he/she may not also have any other
material relationships with executive directors of the
company that arise from their participation in activities of
other companies or bodies;
8) he/she has not been in the position of a member of the
collegial body for over than 12 years;
9) he/she is not a close relative to an executive director or
member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the
general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory board) or to
any person listed in above items 1 to 8. Close relative is
considered to be a spouse (common-law spouse), children
and parents.
3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is
fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine.
The collegial body may decide that, despite a particular member
meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, he
cannot be considered independent due to special personal or
company-related circumstances.
Not
applicable
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not
complied with.
3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial body has
come to in its determination of whether a particular member of the
body should be considered to be independent should be disclosed.
When a person is nominated to become a member of the collegial
body, the company should disclose whether it considers the person
to be independent. When a particular member of the collegial body
does not meet one or more criteria of independence set out in this
Code, the company should disclose its reasons for nevertheless
considering the member to be independent. In addition, the
company should annually disclose which members of the collegial
body it considers to be independent.
No The practice of independence assessment and
disclosure for the members of the Board is not
applied at the Company.
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not
complied with.
3.10. When one or more criteria of independence set out in this
Code has not been met throughout the year, the company should
disclose its reasons for considering a particular member of the
collegial body to be independent. To ensure accuracy of the
information disclosed in relation with the independence of the
members of the collegial body, the company should require
independent members to have their independence periodically re-
confirmed.
No The practice of independence assessment of
and disclosure for the members of the Board is
not applied at the Company.
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not
complied with.

Principle IV: The duties and liabilities of a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting

The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring ? of the company's management bodies and protection of interests of all the company's shareholders.

4.1. The collegial body elected by the general shareholders'
meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the 'collegial
body') should ensure integrity and transparency of the company's
financial statements and the control system. The collegial body
should issue recommendations to the company's management
bodies and monitor and control the company's management
performance.8
Yes The Board hears the information on the
economic activities of Company presented by
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Accountant. It analyses their performance,
evaluates its efficiency and, if required, makes
recommendations. The Board analyses,
evaluates the draft Annual Financial Statement
and draft Profit (Loss) Statement of the
Company, and presents them to the General
Shareholders' Meeting.
4.2. Members of the collegial body should act in good faith, with
care and responsibility for the benefit and in the interests of the
company and its shareholders with due regard to the interests of
employees and public welfare. Independent members of the
collegial body should (a) under all circumstances maintain
independence of their analysis, decision-making and actions (b) do
not seek and accept any unjustified privileges that might
compromise their independence, and (c) clearly express their
objections should a member consider that decision of the collegial
body is against the interests of the company. Should a collegial
body have passed decisions independent member has serious
doubts about, the member should make adequate conclusions.
Should an independent member resign from his office, he should
explain the reasons in a letter addressed to the collegial body or
audit committee and, if necessary, respective company-not-
pertaining body (institution).
Yes Though historically the Company exhibits the
situation that the sufficiency of the independent
members has not been considered, based on the
data available to the Company, all members of
the Board act in good will in respect of the
Company, they are guided by the interests of the
Company and not those of their own or any third
parties, the principles of good faith and
reasonableness.
4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time and attention to
perform his duties as a member of the collegial body. Each member
of the collegial body should limit other professional obligations of
his (in particular any directorships held in other companies) in such
a manner they do not interfere with proper performance of duties
of a member of the collegial body. In the event a member of the
Yes The members of the Board participated at the
meetings of the Board and each of them devoted
sufficient time to perform the duties as a member
of the Board.
There were 13 (thirteen) meetings of the Board
convened in 2018, two of them failed due to

6 It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the board may be remunerated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) provides that members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in the board by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by Article 59 of this Law, i.e. from the company's profit. The current wording, contrary to the wording effective before 1 January 2004, eliminates the exclusive requirement that amual bouuses (tantiems) should be the only form of the compansation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So it seems that the Law contains no prohibition to remuners of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either.

8 See Footnote 3. In the event the collegial body the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it should provide recommendations to the company's single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer.

absence of quorum. All members of the Board
participated in eleven meetings.
The members of the Board participating at the
meeting are recorded in the Minutes of the
Meeting. Three members of the Board failed to
participate in two meetings of the Board.
The Chairman participates in all the Meetings of
Shareholders convened.
4.4. Where decisions of a collegial body may have a different effect
on the company's shareholders, the collegial body should treat all
shareholders impartially and fairly. It should ensure that
shareholders are properly informed on the company's affairs,
strategies, risk management and resolution of conflicts of interest.
The company should have a clearly established role of members of
the collegial body when communicating with and committing to
shareholders.
Yes The management bodies of the Company follow
the principles of communication with the
shareholders established by the laws.
4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except insignificant ones
due to their low value or concluded when carrying out routine
operations in the company under usual conditions), concluded
between the company and its shareholders, members of the
supervisory or managing bodies or other natural or legal persons
that exert or may exert influence on the company's management
should be subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision
concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed
adopted only provided the majority of the independent members of
the collegial body voted for such a decision.
Not
applicable
Transactions with the members of managing
bodies are not concluded.
Only usual activity transactions are concluded
with the main shareholder.
4.6. The collegial body should be independent in passing decisions
that are significant for the company's operations and strategy.
Taken separately, the collegial body should be independent of the
company's management bodies16. Members of the collegial body
should act and pass decisions without an outside influence from the
persons who have elected it. Companies should ensure that the
collegial body and its committees are provided with sufficient
administrative and financial resources to discharge their duties,
including the right to obtain, in particular from employees of the
company, all the necessary information or to seek independent
legal, accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining to the
competence of the collegial body and its committees. When using
the services of a consultant with a view to obtaining information on
market standards for remuneration systems, the remuneration
committee should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at
the same time advice the human resources department, executive
directors or collegial management organs of the company
concerned.
Yes The collegial management body, which to a
wide extent is dependent on the main
shareholder acting in the similar business, passes
decisions considering the interests only of the
Company. The Company provides the Board
with sufficient resources required for their
function performance, and the employees of the
Company who are responsible for the areas of
operation under discussion participate at the
meeting of the Board and present all necessary
information.

9 It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should be informed about failure to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the collegial body participated at less than 2/3 or 3/4 of the meetings. Such measures, which ensure active participation in the meetings of the collegial body, are encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

10 In the event the collegial body the general shareholders' meeting is the board, the recommendation concerning its independence from the company's management bodies applies to the independence from the company's chief executive officer.

4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a
manner that independent members of the collegial body could have
major influence in relevant areas where chances of occurrence of
conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be considered as
highly relevant are issues of nomination of company's directors,
determination of directors' remuneration and control and
assessment of company's audit. Therefore when the mentioned
issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is
recommended that the collegial body should establish nomination,
remuneration, and audit committees11. Companies should ensure
that the functions attributable to the nomination, remuneration, and
audit committees are carried out. However they may decide to
merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In
such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the
selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach
complies with the objectives set forth for the three different
committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise
small number of members, the functions assigned to the three
committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided
that it meets composition requirements advocated for the
committees and that adequate information is provided in this
respect. In such case provisions of this Code relating to the
committees of the collegial body (in particular with respect to their
role, operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant, to
the collegial body as a whole.
No The collegial body of the Company's
management is the Board performing the
functions of Nomination Committee and the
Remuneration Committees. The Board selects
and approves the candidacy of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company - Managing
Director, and agrees with the candidacies of
Directors of the Company proposed by the
Managing Director. It continuously evaluates
their experience, professional capabilities and
implementation of the Company's strategic
goals, hears out their reports. Company's Audit
Committee provides recommendation to the
Board for the external auditor/audit firm
appointment and the Board selects the candidate
provides proposals to the General
and
Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
On 27 April 2018 the Audit Committee was
elected during the Annual General Shareholders'
Meeting.
4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase efficiency
of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring that decisions are
based on due consideration, and to help organize its work with a
view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free of material
conflicts of interest. Committees should exercise independent
judgement and integrity when exercising its functions as well as
present the collegial body with recommendations concerning the
decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall
be adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on creation
of committees is not intended, in principle, to constrict the
competence of the collegial body or to remove the matters
considered from the purview of the collegial body itself, which
remains fully responsible for the decisions taken in its field of
competence.
Yes/No See commentary on the recommendation
provided in 4.7.
The recommendation is implemented to the
extent it is related to the activities of the Audit
Committee in the Company.
4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should normally
be composed of at least three members. In companies with small
number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally
be composed of two members.
Majority of the members of each committee should be constituted
from independent members of the collegial body. In cases when the
company chooses not to set up a supervisory board, remuneration
and audit committees should be entirely comprised of non-
executive directors. Chairmanship and membership of the
committees should be decided with due regard to the need to ensure
that committee membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is
not placed on particular individuals. Chairmanship and
membership of the committees should be decided with due regard
to the need to ensure that committee membership is refreshed and
that undue reliance is not placed on particular individuals.

4.10. Authority of each of the committees should be determined by
the collegial body. Committees should perform their duties in line
with authority delegated to them and inform the collegial body on
their activities and performance on regular basis. Authority of
every committee stipulating the role and rights and duties of the
committee should be made public at least once a year (as part of the
information disclosed by the company annually on its corporate
governance structures and practices). Companies should also make
public annually a statement by existing committees on their
composition, number of meetings and attendance over the year, and
their main activities. Audit committee should confirm that it is
satisfied with the independence of the audit process and describe
briefly the actions it has taken to reach this conclusion.
Yes See commentary on the recommendation 4.7.
The authority, rights and duties of the Audit
Committee are determined by the Rules of the
Audit Committee following the applicable
legislation, and the authority, rights and duties of
the Audit Committee are approved by the
General Shareholders' meeting.
The authority, rights and duties of the Audit
Committee do not differ from those determined
by the legislation.
The approved rules of the Audit Committee are
made public on the Company's website.
4.11. In order to ensure independence and impartiality of the
committees, members of the collegial body that are not members
of the committee should commonly have a right to participate in
the meetings of the committee only if invited by the committee. A
committee may invite or demand participation in the meeting of
particular officers or experts. Chairman of each of the committees
should have a possibility to maintain direct communication with
the shareholders. Events when such are to be performed should be
specified in the regulations for committee activities.

4.12.1. Key functions of the nomination committee should be the
following:
1) identify and recommend, for the approval of the collegial body,
candidates to fill board vacancies. The nomination committee
should evaluate the balance of skills, knowledge and experience on
the management body, prepare a description of the roles and
capabilities required to assume a particular office, and assess the
time commitment expected. Nomination committee can also
consider candidates to members of the collegial body delegated by
the shareholders of the company;
2) assess on regular basis the structure, size, composition and
performance of the supervisory and management bodies, and make
recommendations to the collegial body regarding the means of
achieving necessary changes;
3) assess on regular basis the skills, knowledge and experience of
individual directors and report on this to the collegial body;
4) properly consider issues related to succession planning;
5) review the policy of the management bodies for selection and
appointment of senior management.
4.12.2. Nomination committee should consider proposals by other
parties, including management and shareholders. When dealing
with issues related to executive directors or members of the board

4.13.1. Key functions of the remuneration committee should be the
following:
1) make proposals, for the approval of the collegial body, on the
remuneration policy for members of management bodies and
executive directors. Such policy should address all forms of
compensation, including the fixed remuneration, performance-
based remuneration schemes, pension arrangements, and
termination payments. Proposals considering performance-based
remuneration schemes should be accompanied with
recommendations on the related objectives and evaluation criteria,
with a view to properly aligning the pay of executive director and
members of the management bodies with the long-term interests of
the shareholders and the objectives set by the collegial body;
2) make proposals to the collegial body on the individual
remuneration for executive directors and member of management
bodies in order their remunerations are consistent with company's
remuneration policy and the evaluation of the performance of these
persons concerned. In doing so, the committee should be properly
informed on the total compensation obtained by executive directors
and members of the management bodies from the affiliated
companies;

other staff members of the company;
4) periodically review the remuneration policy for executive
directors or members of management body, including the policy
regarding share-based remuneration, and its implementation;
5) make proposals to the collegial body on suitable forms of

related information disclosure (in particular the remuneration
policy applied and individual remuneration of directors);
7) make general recommendations to the executive directors and
members of the management bodies on the level and structure of
remuneration for senior management (as defined by the collegial
body) with regard to the respective information provided by the
executive directors and members of the management bodies.
4.13.2. With respect to stock options and other share-based
incentives which may be granted to directors or other employees,
the committee should:
1) consider general policy regarding the granting of the above
mentioned schemes, in particular stock options, and make any
related proposals to the collegial body;
