To the shareholders of AB Panevėžio statybos trestas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AB Panevežio statybos trestas and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2017, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant , colici iss
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2017 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Europan Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities (regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Litbuan a that are relevant to the audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the USBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our our bot bo financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
As disclosed in Note 27 of the consolidated financial statements, on 21 December 2017 the Competition Council ruled that the parent company has breached the competition law regulations when concluding joint activity agreements for participation in certain tenders and imposed the Company a fine of EUR 8.5 million. The management disagrees with the decision of the Competition Council and filed an appeal to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court with the request to cancel the fine imposed and the payment of the fine is currently deferred till the resolution of the case by the
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. Our procedures also included reading the appeal filed by the parent company to the Vilnius Regional Administrative Court as well as reading the external legal advisor's letter responding to our inquiries about this uncertainty. Furthermore, we have

Court. Considering the expected outcome of this uncertainty the management recorded no provision in respect of the fine imposed by the Competition Council in the Group's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2017.
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 a significant management judgement to assess the probable outcome of this uncertainty and consequently the amount of provision to be recorded and contingent liability to be disclosed in the financial statements.
The Group's main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in Notes 2 and 18, the Group recognizes revenue from the customer specific construction contracts in progress as of vear-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.
considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements on this matter.
Our audit procedures included, among others:
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 performed the following procedures, among others:

Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in the financial statements.
The Group has projects under development in its subsidiary ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kaliningrad with the total carrying value of EUR 6 million as of 31 December 2017, which are accounted under inventory in the statement of financial position. Project development costs capitalized as of 31 December 2017 mostly represents cost of acquired land and incurred infrastructure development costs. As disclosed in Note 17 to the 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 in the financial statements by the management in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of related management estimation.
The Group has amounts receivable (including loans granted) with the net carrying value of EUR 0.7 million as of 31 December 2017 from the former subsidiary which is in the bankruptcy process from April 2017. As disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements the management assessed the recoverable amount of 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:
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.
Among other procedures, our audit procedures included discussions with the management of the basis underlying the management's estimate of the recoverability of these receivables, including:

these receivables considering the data received from the bankruptcy administrator about the net assets available to satisfy the claims of the Group and its status in the creditors list. As a result, EUR 0.8 million impairment for these receivables (including loans granted) was recognized in the financial statements by the management in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amount involved and significant assumptions involved in the management estimation.
settlement of the claims of the creditors and discussion with the management about the uncertainties with the recoverability of these net assets;
Consideration of the consistency of the information contained in the letter obtained by us from the external legal advisors of the Group used to assist in the recovery of the receivables with the assumptions used by management;
Consideration of the sensitivity of the management's estimation to change in the assumptions concerning certain uncertainties associated with the ability of OOO Baltlitstroj to recover some of the receivables from its clients to be available for the distribution to its creditors, including the Group.
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in the financial statements.

*In 2017 the Group lost control of AB PST Nordic and OOO Baltlistroj due to their bankruptcy. These former subsidiaries are not consolidated since the loss in control which occurred in 2017. The effect of the bankruptcy of AB PST Nordic and OOO Baltlistroj to the Group is disclosed in Notes 9 and 12.
In 2016 Group made and agreement with limited liability company SIA ARMS GROUP, Gobu iela 1-129, Baloži, Kekavas novads, Latvia, regarding joint control and solidarity responsibility for newly established general partnership enterprise PST Un Arms. According to agreement, 50 % of operating expenses, assets and liabilities of PST Un Arms of the joint operations belongs to the Group. General partnership enterprise PST Un Arms is established for certain project developed in Latvia.
Total amounts as reported by PST un Arms as of 31 December 2017 are: assets - EUR 465 thousand, liabilities - EUR 501 thousand, equity - EUR 35 thousand, revenue - EUR 1 674 thousand and net result – EUR 0 thousand. PST un Arms activity in 2016 was insignificant.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter IFRSs).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings within property, plant and equipment which are measured using the revaluation model, and investment property, which is measured at fair value.
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.
Due to rounding of certain amounts to thousand, figures in the tables may differ. Such rounding bias is immaterial in these financial statements.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions 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:
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);
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 intercompany 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 company, it:
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.
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. 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. These arrangement has the following characteristics:
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:
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.
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, trade payables and other liabilities. The Group has no heldto-maturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of less than 3 months.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus (except for instruments at fair value through profit or loss) any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.
Financial instruments are recognized on the trade date. Financial assets are derecognized if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized if the obligations of the Group specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets and are not quoted in an active market. They are included into current assets except for maturities longer than 12 months. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest 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 and borrowings and other financial liabilities, including trade payables are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Current liabilities are not discounted.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Items of property, plant and equipment except for land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 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 valuators. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The revaluation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land and buildings each year and is transferred directly to retained earnings.
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 decrease 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 3-4 years.
The Group does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful life.
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based 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.
Capitalized costs related to the real estate development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).
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 and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Inventories related with specific ongoing projects are accounted for under inventories caption in the statement of financial position until inventories are used in construction process and further are accounted for as cost of sales. Specific project related inventories' accounting policy is the same as stated above.
Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.
Construction work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognized to date less progress billings and recognized losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group's contract activities based on normal operating capacity.
Construction work in progress is presented as part of trade receivables in the statement of financial position. If payments received from customers exceed the income recognized, then the difference is presented as deferred income in the statement of financial position.
A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period.
Impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.
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 or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. No impairment reversal for goodwill is allowed.
Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
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 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. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
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 company 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.
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.
Finance income comprises interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. Interest expenses are recognized using effective interest rate method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
Income tax expense comprises current and deterred 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 enacted at the reporting date.
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 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.
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.
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.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of proceeds received, less the costs of transaction. They are subsequently carried at amortised cost, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value being recognised in the net profit or loss over the period of the borrowings (except for the capitalized part) using the effective interest method.
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 input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the methods described Note 29. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
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 Accounting Standards specifically requires such off-setting.
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in these financial statements to all periods presented in the financial statements.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRS which have been adopted by the group as of 1 January 2017:
· IAS 12 "Profit taxes": Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses (Amendments)
The objective of the Amendments is to clarify the requirements of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses in order to address diversity in practice in the application of IAS 12 Income Taxes. The specific issues where diversity in practice existed relate to the existence of a deductible temporary difference upon a decrease in fair value, to recovering an asset for more than its carrying amount, to probable future taxable profit and to combined versus separate assessment. The Amendments had no significant impact to the Group as there were no material deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses.
The objective of the Amendments is to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. The Amendments specify that one way to fulfil the disclosure requirement is by providing a tabular reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities, including changes from financing cash flows, changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses, the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in fair values and other changes. The Group has applied the amendments and included mandatory disclosures in the financial statements (Note 31).
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. 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 management of the Group preliminary assessed the effect of this standard on the financial statements of the Group and concluded that it will not have a material effect.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or atter 1 January 2018. IFRS 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. 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). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue; information about performance obligations; changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. Management has assessed the application of the standard and based on the preliminary analysis performed, the Group does not expect significant impact on its Financial Statements (except extended disclosure requirements) as the Group does not have long-term contracts with multi-element arrangements, no take-or-pay agreements, no sales incentives are provided, no material contract costs are generally incurred and contract modifications are rare, etc.
The Clarifications apply for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with earlier application permitted. The objective of the 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" 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. Management has assessed the application of the standard and standard adoption will not have a significant impact for the Group (as described above).
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 has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.
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
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled sharebased 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. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group does not have share based payment transactions and these amendments will not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with earlier application permitted. 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. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.
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. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.
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. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Amendments are not expected to be applicable for the Group.
The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 with earlier application permitted. 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 non-monetary 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. This Interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.
· The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 for IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (adopted by EU in 2018) and on or after 1 January 2018 for IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and for IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Earlier application is permitted for IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. These amendments will not have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those of summarized financial information for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, apply to an entity's interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate that is classified as held for sale, as held for distribution, or as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5.
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: This improvement deletes the short-term exemptions regarding disclosures about financial instruments, employee benefits and investment entities, applicable for first time adopters.
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 investment-by-investment basis, upon initial recognition.
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 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.
The Group plans to adopt the above mentioned standards and interpretations not earlier than their effective date provided they are endorsed by the EU.
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 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:
| 2017 | 2016 |
|---|---|
| 10 776 | 17 243 |
| 0 | 14 |
| 1 722 | 1 000 |

| 10 776 | 17 243 |
In the statement of financial positon, trade receivables (including unbilled accrued receivables in accordance with the stage of completion) are accounted for under trade receivables and other noncurrent assets, as disclosed in Note 18.
Trade receivables according to major customers:
| (in thousand EUR) | 2017 | 0/0 | 2016 | 0/0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client 1 | 1 013 | 9.4 | 3 488 | 20.2 |
| Client 2 | 949 | 8.8 | 1 749 | 10.1 |
| Client 3 | 657 | 6.1 | 714 | 4.1 |
| Client 4 | 523 | 4.9 | 438 | 2.5 |
| Client 5 | 408 | 3.8 | 366 | 2.1 |
| Client 6 | 376 | 3.5 | 311 | 1.8 |
| Client 7 | 328 | 3.0 | 272 | 1.6 |
| Other clients | 7 582 | 70.3 | 12 501 | 72.6 |
| Impairment | (1 060) | (9.8) | (2 596) | (15.0) |
| Total | 10 776 | 100.0 | 17 243 | 100.0 |
Trade receivables according to geographic regions:
| 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| 9 806 | 13 011 | |
| 0 | 3 704 | |
| 970 | 528 | |
| 10 776 | 17 243 | |
Ageing of gross trade receivables as at the reporting date can be specified as follows:
| 2017 | Impairment | 2016 | Impairment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 844 | 12 361 | ||
| 1 110 | 640 | ||
| 691 | 264 | ||
| 1 191 | 1 060 | 6 574 | 2 596 |
| 11 836 | 1 060 | 19 839 | 2 596 |
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 a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experience.
Current other financial assets include term deposits at banks and receivable from the bankrupt subsidiary, which is partly 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 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 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 or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. 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 2017 and 2016 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, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

Sensitivity analysis to changes in foreign exchange rates are not included in these financial statements as based on management estimate it is insignificant as of 31 December 2017 and 2016.
Interest rate risk. All the Group's loans received 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.
The Board's 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 ½ of the authorised capital. As at 31 December 2017 and 2016 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.
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on type of activities and has four reportable segments:
The segment of construction includes operations of AB Panevežio statybos trestas, UAB Vekada, UAB Alinita, OOO Baltlitstroj, AB PST Nordic and PS Trests SIA. The main field of activity is the construction, design and installation of various buildings, constructions, facilities and communications or construction of other objects (electrical installation works, renovation of buildings, installation of plumbing, sewage and fire protection systems, video surveillance systems, security and fire alarm systems) in Lithuania and outside the country.
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 company 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. Panel houses are the main product of the company. About 87% of products are successfully exported to Norway, Sweden, France, Switzerland, Iceland and other countries.
Other activity includes operations of UAB Seškinės projektai, OOO Teritorija, UAB PST investicijos whose main activity is real estate development, and Kingsbud Sp.zo.o., which the main activity is the wholesale trading of building materials.
Construction related operating segments have been aggregated in order to form one construction segment as these separate segments are related with various operations performed at different phases of constructions. No other operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable segments.
Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit from operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Transfer prices between operating segments are based on the prices set by the management, which management considers being similar to transactions with third parties.

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed as at 31 December 2013 based on the consultations on possible market prices of the Company's land and buildings provided by independent valuation company, 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. Significant unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in price per square meter/are.
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 2017 would be equal to EUR 1 437 thousand (31 December 2016: EUR 1 413 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 2017 and 2016).
If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), then 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 was reported under other income.
The identified fair value of the investment property of EUR 1 300 thousand (EUR 1 270 thousand in 2016) was attributed to Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.
At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable lease agreements were the following: EUR 90 thousand receivable in less than one year, EUR 49 thousand receivable between one and five years (31 December 2016: EUR 109 thousand receivable in less than one year, EUR 164 thousand receivable between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2017 amounted to EUR 93 thousand (in 2016: EUR 90 thousand) and was accounted under other income.

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 expert's from CB Richard Ellis LLC (Moscow, Russia), the fair value of the project developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket as at 31 October 2017 amounted to EUR 9 470 thousand. There were no significant changes in real estate market during the last quarter of 2017, based on management assessment and the project was concluded to be not impaired as of 31 December 2017.
Six out of seven of AO ISK Baltevromarket developed land plots were valuated using the market price technique, based on which the value of the land plots are 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 inputs used by the appraiser in the discounted cash flows method could be detailed as follows:
While assessing the fair value, significant not observable input data was used - price per 1 hectare, planned construction cost, discount rate, rent price and exit vield.
The fair value of land plots valuated by market price technique would increase if the price per 1 hectare would be higher and decrease if price per 1 hectare be lower.
If the discount rate would increase by 0.25% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), the fair value of land plot, which was valuated by discounted cash flows method, would decrease by EUR 500 thousand and the carrying value of the project would remain not impaired; if the rent price would decrease by 5%, it would result in fair value decrease by EUR 3 500 thousand, i.e. approx. EUR 50 thousand of net realizable value write-down on the project would occur, and if exit yield would increase by 0.25%, the fair value would decrease by EUR 960 thousand the carrying value of the project would remain not impaired. If cost of construction would increase by 10%, the estimated net realizable value would decrease by EUR 3 060 thousand.
The recoverable value of project developed by UAB "Ateities projektai" was assessed by independent real estate appraiser's "Ober-Haus nekilnojamas turtas" consultation on possible marker price as of 31 December 2017. Market price 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 1 754 to 6 510 EUR/sq. m. (parking lot) and construction cost - 917 EUR/sq. m.

OOO Baltistroj has repaid to the Company EUR 238 thousand during 2017. The management considered the net assets available in this former subsidiary to satisfying the needs of its creditors and based on this assessment recognized an impairment of receivables in the amount of EUR 518 thousand as of 31 December 2017.
In additional, in February 2018 the Company won a case in Saint Petersburg administrative court for EUR 1 752 thousand in relation to OOO Baltlitstroj. However, unstable Russian business environment can negatively impact return of this debt. This impact cannot be evaluated at the moment, due to this management assessment of the impairment of the receivables could significantly change in the future.
The Group has granted a loan to OOO Baltlitstroj which is fully impaired as of 31 December 2017. The total amount of loan granted is equal to EUR 335 thousand.
As at 31 December 2017 the Group had a term deposit bearing a 0.65% interest with original maturity of 12 months (as at 31 December 2016: with original maturity of 12 months 0.9% interest).

The Group 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:
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 already appealed to Vilnius county court asking to cancel the fine set by the Competition Council. On 19th January 2018 the court accepted the Company's claim. The payment term of the fine is suspended until final resolution of the court.
The Group's management based on all know facts and circumstances, believes that this is more likely than not that the Group 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.
In civil case with RUAB "Arno vila" the Group has received a claim to reduce construction price by EUR 304 thousand. At the moment there is court's expert'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 Group initiated criminal proceedings to RUAB "Amo vila" owner A. Stravinskas for EUR 2 609 thousand damages made.
In a civil case with the owners of DNSB Šeškinės str. 4 and 6 the Group has received a claim of EUR 130 thousand for damages compensation. The first instance court accepted the claim of DNSB which subsequently was appealed by the Group's management based on all know facts and circumstances, believes that this is more likely than not that the legal proceedings will end up with the positive outcome for the Group and no provisions related with these legal proceedings were recorded in these financial statements other than the warranty reserve as of 31 December 2017.
Related parties are defined as shareholders, employees, members of the Management Board, their close relatives and companies that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with the Group, provided the listed relationship empowers one of the parties to exercise the control or significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2017 and 2016 at the Group. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Cash represents cash in banks and on hand stated at value equal to the fair value.
The fair value of trade and other receivables and loans granted is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of short-term trade and other receivables with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as discounting effect was determined to be not material.
The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the loans are subject of market level variable interest.
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.

| connected with the company's operation, are duly respected. |
The corporate governance framework strategic guidance of the company, the effective oversight of the company's management bodies, an appropriate balance and distribution of functions between the company's bodies, protection of the shareholders' interests.
| 2.1. Besides obligatory bodies provided for in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania - a general shareholders' meeting and the chief executive officer, it is recommended that a company should set up both a collegial supervisory body and a collegial management body. The setting up of collegial bodies for supervision and management facilitates clear separation of management and supervisory functions in the company, accountability and control on the part of the chief executive officer, which, in its turn, facilitate a more efficient and transparent management process. |
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, and one-person management body, the Managing Director, are set up in the Company. The collegial supervisory body - the 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.3 |
Yes |
l 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 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 essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board (e.g. formation of the committees), should not be applied to 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 officer of the of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the provision of recommendations to the company's chief executive officer; item 4.6 of the Code concerning independence of the collegial body elected by the general meeting from the company's management bodies is applied to the extent it concerns independence from the chief executive officer.
| 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 |
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. |
| procedure should not be easier than the removal procedure for an executive director or a member of the management board. |
||
| 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. |
The order of the formation a collegial body to be elected by 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

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 fact that in the situation where the collegial body 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 | The Board is formed considering the Company's structure and activities, the 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 |

| 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 |
4 The Code does not provide for a concrete numbers to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concee number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the members of the collegial body to comrise the ollegial body. However, having regard to the institution of independent members in Lithunia and potential problems in finding and electing a concete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the ompanies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent mervorsion a ollegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.
5 If 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 majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body shoulded majority shareholders may be considered independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a major supplier or service provider (inclusive of financial, legal, counseling and consulting services), major client or organization receiving significant payments from the company or its group; 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. |

The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial 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 (hereinatter 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. |
7 See Footnote 3.
6 It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the board may be remuserated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Guzette, 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 annual be the only form of the company's compensation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So it seems that the Law contains so probibition to remunerate members of the supervisory 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 elected by 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.
| 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 collegial body should be present in less than a half of the meetings of the collegial body throughout the financial year of the company, shareholders of the company should be notified. |
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. In all meetings of the Board taken place in 2017 there was quorum prescribed by the legislation. The members of the Board participating at the meeting are recorded in the Minutes of the Meeting. 13 meetings of the Board took place in 2017. Three members of the Board participated in all meetings and two members of the Board participated in 12 meetings of the Board. |

| 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. |
9 It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should failure to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the collecial body participated at less than 2/3 1/4 0 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.
| 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 bodies10. 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. 4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a |
Yes No |
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. The collegial body of the Company's management is the Board |

| 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. |
performing the functions of Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committees. The Board chooses 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. The Board selects the candidate for the external audit and provides proposals to the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval. On 21 April 2017 the Audit Committee was elected during the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting. |

11 The Law on Audit of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2008, No 82-53233) determines that an Audit Committee shall be formed in each public interest entity (including, but not limited to, the public companies whose securities are traded in the engulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or any other member state).
| 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. |
Yes/No | See commentary on the recommendation provided in 4.7. The Audit Committee is composed of three members. Two member conform to the requirements for independence. The Audit Committee is elected for the period of one year. |
| 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. |
