By selling a part of the assets of the subdivision Kauno Elektrinė to UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė (hereinafter – KTE) the Company committed in Heat purchase contract of 31 March 2003 to purchase at least 80 per cent of the annual heat demand of Kaunas integrated heating network. The contract is valid for 15 years from the signing day. It was determined in this contract that heat purchase price from KTE will not increase in 5 years from the day of contract signing. Starting from 1 December 2008 a new basic heat prices for each 4 years period are being approved by the Commission for KTE and for the Company according to valid legal acts.
The Company received an official note on the 13th of April, 2012 confirming the decision of Gazprom OAO to sell its shares to the smaller shareholder "Clement Power Venture Inc.", and the provision, that Gazprom OAO as the main shareholder of KTE must ensure that during the term of Heat Energy Purchase agreement, i. e. until the 30th of March, 2018 it will own the main block of shares and adequate (not less than 51 per cent) number of votes in General meeting of shareholders, is confirmed in heat purchase agreement signed in 2003 between the Company and KTE, Company's Management Board decided on the 10th of July, 2012 to approve the selling of all the shares of Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė UAB owned by Gazprom OAO to Clement Power Venture Inc., regularizing terms of change of contracts agreements signed with Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė UAB and seeking the best for the Company from this selling. On 13 March 2013 KTE adduced to Company an evidence, i.e. an extract from securities account, saying that ownership of the shares of KTE owned by Gazprom OAO is transferred to Clement Power Venture Inc. since 7 March 2013. The changes of Agreement on Investments and of Heat Energy Purchase Contract of 31 March 2003 which were signed respectively on 13 August 2012 and 28 September 2012, as well as termination of Contract of Guarantee signed between Company and Gazprom OAO on 13 August 2012 came into force since that date. Following changes of Heat Energy Purchase Contract that came into force, Company's obligation to purchase from KTE at least 80 per cent of produced heat, demanded in Kaunas integrated heat supply network was withdrawn. According to changes of Agreement on Investments it was newly agreed and investments objects were intended for a preliminary sum of EUR 101 million as well as detailed schedule of investments implementation for the years 2013 – 2017. Herewith KTE took the obligations from these investments to finance Company's investments in Company's infrastructure in amount of EUR 3 million, which will be fulfilled during the period of 2012 – 2016. KTE obliged to pay 10 per cent forfeit from the value of unfulfilled
investments. Notwithstanding agreements reached, on 30 April, 2013 KTE placed a claim to Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration. KTE seeks to argue obligations, determined by chapters 2 and 3 of Change of Investments Agreement of 13 August, 2012 by this claim regarding investments in Company heat economy in amount of EUR 3 million and the terms of implementation as well as forfeit (penalties) determined if those investments would not be implemented. According 19th February, 2014 Arbitration decision Company and KTE began negotiations for a peaceful settlement of investment dispute, however on 26th May Company has informed Arbitration court that compromise has not been reached. KTE specified it's claim requisitions in the case, by which alternatively asks Arbitration court to terminate Investment agreement. Arbitration court conjoined this case with the case in which the Company placed a claim seeking that KTE would pay to the Company EUR 0.94 million for inappropriate implementation of its obligations to finance in the years 2012 – 2013 Company's investments according to 31 March 2003 Investment agreement changes, signed on 13 August 2012 and 28 September 2012. The case is still pending and a decision is not taken. As KTE continuously did not implement its obligations, the Company applied to Arbitration on 30 January 2015 with specified requirements to adjudge in addition EUR 652 thousand for non financed Company's investments of the year 2014. Total requirements – EUR 1,593 thousand. On 30 April 2015 KTE offered in written the renewal of negotiations regarding peaceful settlement of the case and the Arbitration continued investigation of the case. Both sides agreed project of peaceful agreement in pursuance of negotiations, considering negotiable guidelines, determined on 11 June, 2015 during the meeting in Kaunas city municipality, in which the Mayor of Kaunas city municipality and Director of Administration took part. On 9 October, 2015 Company's Board decided to approve project of peaceful agreement with KTE regarding termination of Investment agreement of 31 March, 2003 and dismissal of litigation in court. Kaunas City Municipality Council approved by the decision No T-568 of 20 October, 2015 the essential terms of peaceful agreement and dismissal of litigation in court. On 17 December 2015 the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved the project of peaceful agreement with KTE. On 28 December 2015 the Company and KTE signed a peaceful agreement. On 4 January 2016 the Company placed the peaceful agreement with KTE for Arbitration approval. Arbitration approved on 29 January 2016 a peaceful agreement concluded between the Company and KTE on 23 December 2015 by which a litigation in case No. 268 regarding noncompliance of Investment agreement of 31 March 2003 was terminated. The litigation continued since April 2013. Following essential terms of peaceful agreement:
• Investment agreement between both sides is being terminated.
• KTE obliges to pay compensation for the Company in amount of EUR 2,317 thousand following this order: KTE immediately acknowledges sum in amount of EUR 1,593 thousand suspended by the Company as a part of the compensation paid by KTE and resigns any claims and the remaining amount EUR 724 thousand KTE obliges to pay to the Company in equal parts yearly until 28 February 2018. First contribution must be paid until 28 February 2016.
• KTE disposes part of Kaunas critical centralized heat supplies infrastructure to the Company for proprietorship as a non-financial compensation, i.e. immovable property (manifolds building and coherent pipelines) as well as part of technological circuit equipment, necessary to the Company (hereinafter together – the Assets).
• The Company leases technological circuit equipment taken from KTE for KTE for the 25 years period, manifolds building – for 15 years period and subleases land for the 15 year period holding the right for bargain regarding additional term until KTE performs its activity and remains able to pay.
• KTE obliges to make certain a proper maintenance and upkeep of the Assets as well as a proper functioning of the whole centralized heat supplies system in so far as it is coherent to the Assets, and the Company holds the right for modernization of manifolds building and other assets taken at the discretion of its own and at its own expenses, not changing their functionality.
• The Company gains the lease right to the part of land plot, coherent with the Assets taken and (or earlier if KTE will not continue cogeneration activities, or later if the sides will agree regarding additional term of lease of manifolds building and of sublease of the land plot) is able to develop this land plot at the discretion of its own according to the legislation after 15 years period.
Estimating conditionally high price of the heat bought from KTE, which owns a main Kaunas heat production source, and seeking to contribute to the international liabilities of Lithuania to increase usage of renewable energy sources in heat production, and to reduce Lithuania's dependence from imported fossil fuel and to provide the heat energy at a competitive price, the Company initiated in the year 2012 a reconstruction projects of existing boiler-houses, fitting them to work on wooden fuel (wooden chips, waste of deforestation, sawdust).
On 8 September, 2015 the Kaunas city council approved corrected Company's investment plan for the years 2012 – 2015, according to which investments in amount of EUR 92.08 million were intended to invest in Company's assets during the period of the years 2012 – 2015. The Company invested EUR 4,981 thousand in the own assets during the year 2015. EUR 46.46 million were invested during the 2012 – 2015 years period in total.
On 24 May, 2016 the Kaunas city council approved corrected Company's investment plan for the year 2016, according to which investments in amount of EUR 44.536 million were intended to invest in Company's assets during the years 2016. The Company invested EUR 6,757 thousand in own assets during the year 2016.
In order to decrease Company's comparable production expenditures and the service fee of reserved power capacity an acquisition of 20 MW capacity gas burned boiler along with 1.5 MW capacities condensational economizer in Petrašiūnai power-plant is performed. Estimated value of the project is approx. EUR 700 thousand. Implementation of the project is scheduled in the year 2017.
In November 2016 the Company signed an outsourcing contract with the winner of tender regarding equipment of four gas burned boilers at capacity 15 MW each along with 1.5 MW capacity condensational economizers in Pergalė boiler-house. Estimated value of continued project amounts to approx. EUR 2.3 million. Implementation of the project is scheduled in the years 2017 – 2018. Activities are divided into two stages. One boiler together with economizer is scheduled to equip on the first stage and on the second stage – the rest three. The second stage can be discontinued due to the changes in Company's needs, financing capabilities and other circumstances.
On September 28, 2016 the installation of gas burned 15 MW capacity boiler along with 1.5 MW capacity condensational economizer instead of old boiler DKVR No. 2 of 9 MW capacity in Company's Šilkas boilerhouse has been accomplished. The value of the project is EUR 659 thousand. The new boiler and its new equipment are one of the most effective in town. This increases the reliability of heat production and supply; at the same time reduces Company's comparative heat production expenditures and reduce the service fee of reserve power capacity. This implemented project is a continued result of Company's consistent complex investment policy, focused on increase and expansion of heat production, increase of safety of heat supply and reliability and application of good practice.
National Commission for Energy Control and Prices (hereinafter – Commission) approved on 29 September 2015 Company's corrected Investment Plan in which an instalment of biofuel burned water heating boilers in Jurbarkas boiler-house is scheduled. This project is performed in several stages and it is planned to accomplish in the years 2017 – 2018. A 5 MW heat capacity biofuel burned boiler along with pertinent and auxiliary equipment was installed on the first stage of the project and the operation of it was started in November 2016. Approx. 31% of annual heat demand of Jurbarkas city was produced using this newly installed biofuel boiler during 2016. A heat produced using biofuel will amount up to 70 % in total fuel balance after completion of project. Estimating approx. 25 GWh of heat energy will be produced in Jurbarkas boiler-house per year. The investment of the first stage amounts up to EUR 1,0006 thousand of own funds. The second stage of the project will be implemented if EU Structural Funds support is received. Complex renovation of the boiler-house will be implemented then and additional 3 MW capacity biofuel burned heat production equipment along with pertinent will be installed.
The Company accomplished two big projects of reconstruction of main pipelines of Kaunas heat supply network in three sections the year 2016. 1.4 kilometre of 400 mm diameter main pipeline was reconstructed in two sections in Savanorių av. And a 0.3 kilometre of 400 mm diameter main pipeline was reconstructed in Laimos str., Petrašiūnai. Modern polyurethane isolated pipelines were installed instead of old, obsolete pipelines while reconstructing these mains sections.
The Company signed even 9 agreements with the Lithuanian Business Support Agency (LBSA) regarding European Union Structural Funds support for reconstruction of heat supply networks in the end of the year 2016. Up to EUR 5,827 thousand European Union Structural Funds support will be allocated under these
agreements for renovation of Kaunas heat supply networks in the years 2017 – 2018. The support will be allocated under the measure No. 04.3.2-LVPA-K-102 "Modernisation and development of heat supply networks" of the 4 priority "Promoting energy efficiency and production and use of renewable energy" of Operational Programme for the European Union Funds' Investments in 2014-2020. The Company plans to reconstruct main pipelines under signed agreements in Jotvingių str., Šilainiai and Eiguliai catchment, G. Landsbergio – Žemkalnio str,. Kalniečiai catchment, Pramonės av., city centre, P. Lukšio str. and in Akštieji Šančiai catchment. Also, a project in Savanorių av. under one of the agreements signed is already accomplished in the year 2016. The total value of the projects would amount to approx. EUR 11.6 million. A 9.7 km of various diameters main pipelines (up to 900 mm) will be reconstructed in Kaunas. An exceptional project is "Reconstruction of Kaunas city integrated network in Eiguliai catchment". Even 1.4 km long section of 900 mm diameter main pipeline will be reconstructed. A reconstruction of pipelines of so big diameter is particularly difficult.
A heat in operational mode was started to supply to Kaunas Clinical Hospital, situated in Josvainių str. 2 in 2016. Heat supply to this hospital in testing mode was started on December 28, 2015. Hospital's consuming capacity is 6.18 MW. Earlier, a heat for this object was supplied from gas boiler-house, operated by UAB "Litesko". A heat for this object is supplied with no interference for more than a year.
On May 2016 the Company took over heat and hot water supply to three municipal education and training institutions by the initiative of Kaunas city municipality: rowing sport base of Kaunas yachting school Bangpūtys, Kaunas Vaišvydava comprehensive school, and Kaunas special school, situated in Apuolės str. 11. The heating of these institutions was performed from local boiler-houses, burned with coal. The decision on connection of Kaunas special school to the district heating network has been made after assessment of situation and possible need in investments. Heat and hot water supply to this school was started on May 2016. Two pellet burned boilers at capacity of 150 kW and 100 kW at Kaunas Vaišvydava comprehensive school were installed in November 2016. 108 MW of heat were produced with these boilers in the year 2016. A connection of boiler-house to the system of data receiving, monitoring and process management is in progress at the moment. Value of the project is EUR 80 thousand. Rowing sport base is intended to be connected to the gas network.
The certified laboratory of measurement of stationary environment air pollution sources has been launched in June 2016. Probes of quantity of particulates and of gas flow in smoke emitted from boiler houses are performed in this laboratory. The laboratory has the right to perform these measurements in whole Lithuania territory. The Company outsourced this service earlier.
The Company produced a total 583 GWh of heat energy with its own production capacities during the year 2016 (470 GWh of them were produced using biofuel). This is at 11 per cent more than in the year 2015. Usage of biofuel had a significant influence in the heat price reduction for heat and hot water consumers.
The common index of Company's fuel usage during the year 2016 remained the same as in the year 2015 (approx.82 kgne/MWh), i.e. at more than 10 per cent lower than as compared to the index used in a base heat price accounting.
Though Company's annual technological heat losses in the year 2016 were 233 GWh or at 12 GWh (5 per cent) more, than in the year 2015, however due to the increased production comparative heat losses decreased from 16.73 per cent (in 2015) to 16.35 per cent (in 2016). In comparison with the index (280 GWh) used in a base heat price accounting, approx. 47 GWh of heat were saved.
Intensity of operation of biofuel burned water heating boiler-houses in 2016 amounted to more than 90 per cent.
The Company in cooperation with Kaunas city municipality administration performs accumulation of wooden trunks and branches, which are cut during city clearing. It helps the Company to accumulate fuel reserve and thus ensure uninterrupted and stable process of biofuel supply. The Company acquired biofuel chipper in this order. Acquired mechanism chips branches, stumps and trunks of various trees up to 70 cm diameter. Approx. 80 m3 of wood can be chipped per hour using this new aggregate. Investment – EUR 430 thousand. Approx.
450 toe of biofuel were produced with this chipper in 4 months, from the beginning of operation. And there was no need to buy this amount of biofuel in energy resources exchange.
In the year 2016 the Company signed heat selling and purchase agreements with two more independent heat producers (IHP) – UAB "Foksita", which built and started to operate a 34,5 MW heat and 5 MW electric capacity cogeneration power-plant and UAB "SSPC – Taika", which built a 20 MW heat and 5 MW electric capacity cogeneration power-plant. Each of these producers can supply up to 10 per cent of Kaunas integrated network heat demand. Totally the Company purchases heat from eleven IHP. Ten of these producers supply heat produced using biofuel. Total maximum capacity of IHP biofuel boiler-houses amounts to approx. 200 MW.
In the current year, the Goup and the Company has adopted all of the new and revised Standarts and Interpretatios issued by the IASB and IFRIC of the IASB as adopted by the EU that are relevant to the Company and the Group operations.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and interpretations of them. The standards are issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which are stated at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The financial year of the Company and other Group companies coincides with the calendar year.
Items included in the financial statements of the Group and the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the 'functional currency'). The amounts shown in these financial statements are measured and presented in the local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, Euro (EUR) which is a functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiaries and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated.
Starting from 1 January 2015 the local currency of the Republic of Lithuania is Euro, the rate of which in regard of other currencies is set daily by European Central Bank. Starting from 2002 till 31 December 2014 local currency was litas which was pegged to Euro at the rate of 3.4528 LTL for 1 Euro and the exchange rates in regard to other currencies was set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Kauno Energija and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the same accounting principles applied to similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Subsidiary is the company which is directly or indirectly controlled by the parent company. The control is normally evidenced when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 per cent of the voting rights of a company's share capital or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any
difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable IFRS). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
Investments in subsidiaries in the Company's Statements of Financial Position are recognized at cost. The dividend income from the investment is recognized in the profit (loss).
The requirements of IAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group's investment in a subsidiary. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
Intangible assets acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Amounts paid for licenses are capitalised and then amortised over useful life (3 – 4 years).
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits of performance of the existing software systems are recognised as an expense for the period when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
The Group and the Company apply a 'net liability' approach in accounting for the emission rights received. It records the emission allowances granted to it at nominal amount, as permitted by IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Liabilities for emissions are recognised only as emissions are made (i.e. provisions are never made on the basis of expected future emissions) and only when the reporting entity has made emissions in excess of the rights held.
When applying the net liability approach, the Group and the Company have chosen a system that measures deficits on the basis of an annual allocation of emission rights.
The outright sale of an emission right is recorded as a sale at the value of consideration received. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received and its carrying amount is recorded as a gain or loss, irrespective of whether this creates an actual or an expected deficit of the allowances held. When a sale creates an actual deficit an additional liability is recognised with a charge to the profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property, plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the asset recognition criteria are met.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's and the Company's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets (other than freehold land and properties under construction) less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at each year end, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The useful lives are reviewed annually to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items in property, plant and equipment. Depreciation periods were revised as of 1 September 2008, as further described in Note 2.25.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 15 – 50 |
| Structures and machinery | 5 – 70 |
| Vehicles | 4 – 10 |
| Equipment and tools | 4 – 20 |
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The Group and the Company capitalizes property, plant and equipment purchases with useful life over one year and an acquisition cost above EUR 144.81.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the statement of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognized.
Subsequent repair costs are included in the asset's carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease hold improvement expenses related to property under rental and/or operating lease agreements which prolong the estimated useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated during the term of rental and/or operating lease agreements.
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and put into operation.
At each statement of financial position date, the Group and the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group and the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, Group's and Company's assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. 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 which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be significantly less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased significantly to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the
effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL.
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
• such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
• the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group's and the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
• it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the 'other gains and losses' line item in the Statement of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Listed redeemable notes held by the Group and the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value. The Group and the Company also has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as available-for-sale financial assets and stated at fair value (because the directors consider that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's and the Company's right to receive the dividends is established.
The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognized in profit or loss are determined based on the amortized cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset value decreases or it is amortized.
Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For listed and unlisted equity investments classified as AFS, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, including redeemable notes classified as AFS and finance lease receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's and the Company's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 30 days, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset) is derecognised when:
• the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
• the Group and the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full withoutmaterial delay to a third party under a "pass through" arrangement; or
• the Group and the Company has transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Where the Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
The Group and the Company uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year are taken directly to the profit (loss) for the period if they do not qualify for hedge accounting.
The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by the reference to market values for similar instruments.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
The cost of inventories is net of volume discounts and rebates received from suppliers during the reporting period but applicable to the inventories still held in stock.
Provisions are recognized when the Group and the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Cash includes cash on hand, cash at banks and cash in transit. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash with banks, cash in transit, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments.
Contributions to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost, and as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to unrecognized actuarial losses and past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at FVTPL' or 'other financial liabilities'.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
Other financial liabilities (including borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
The Group and the Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group's and the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised as receivables at the amount of the Group's and the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Group's and the Company's net investment outstanding in respect of the leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group and the Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group's and the Company's general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group and the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group and the Company recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group and the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Grants received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of non-current assets are considered as asset-related grants. Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognized as deferred income and is credited to profit or loss in equal annual amounts over the expected useful life of related asset. In the statement of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation.
Assets received free of charge are initially recognised at fair value.
Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
The balance of unutilised grants is shown in the caption Grants (deferred income) in the balance sheet.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Income
tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. In 2016 the income tax applied to the Group and the Company is 15 per cent (2015 – 15 per cent).
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group and the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised outside profit or loss (whether in other comprehensive income or directly in equity), in which case the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary registered shares issued. There are no instructions reducing earnings per share, there is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.
Revenue from sales of heat energy is recognised based on the bills issued to residential and other customers for heating and heating-up of cold water. The customers are billed monthly according to the readings of heat meters.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the Group and the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• the Group and the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
Late payment interest income from overdue receivables is recognised upon receipt.
Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established (provided that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably).
Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.
The Group's and the Company's policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in Note 2.18.
Expenses are recognised on the basis of accrual and revenue and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring income during the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.
The amount of expenses is usually accounted for as the amount paid or due, excluding VAT. In those cases when a long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses is estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities of the Group, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
The presentation currency is Euro (EUR). All transactions made in foreign currency are converted into Euros at the official exchange rate determined daily by the European Central Bank. Financial assets and liabilities are converted into Euros at currency rate of creation day of statements of financial state. Gains and losses arising on exchange are included in profit or loss for the period at the moment of its appearance. Income or expenditures arising on exchange when converting financial assets or liabilities into euros are included in profit or loss.
The applicable rates used for principal currencies were as follows:
| As of 31 December 2016 | As of 31 December 2015 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 EUR | = | 1.0453 USD |
1 EUR | = | 1.09260 | USD |
| 1 EUR | = | 0.8530 GBP |
1 EUR | = | 0.73799 | GBP |
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
• exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings;
• exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks; and
• exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal of the net investment.
The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statements of Financial Position date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
The key assumptions concerning determination the useful life of property, plant and equipment are as follows: expected usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in the services, legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of related leases.
The Group and the Company has considered the actual useful life of property, plant and equipment and increased a depreciation rate for the heating connections from 20 years to 30 years and for the heating stations from 10 years to 15 years respectively starting from 1 September 2008.
Starting from 2011, the management of the Company forms a 100 per cent adjustment to the net realizable value for inventory bought more than one year ago.
In 2009 a new shares issue was paid by contribution in-kind - manifolds situated in Kaunas city: i.e. market value of assets determined upon their transfer by local qualified valuators using depreciated replacement costs method amounted to EUR 39.446 million.
In 2010 a new shares issue was paid by contribution in-kind: i.e. building – boiler-house situated in Kaunas city and by networks system situated in Jurbarkas city. Market value of assets estimated upon their transfer by local qualified valuators by using depreciated replacement costs method amounted to EUR 0.178 million. Building – boiler-house was sold in March 2015.
In 2014 a new shares issue was paid by contribution in-kind: i.e. networks system situated in Kaunas city. Market value of assets estimated upon their transfer by local qualified valuators by using depreciated replacement costs method amounted to EUR 0.122 million.
As of 31 December 2016 carrying value of total contribution in-kind amounted to EUR 35,613 thousand, including the manifolds, which amounted to EUR 35,366 thousand (31 December 2015: EUR 36,190 thousand and EUR 35,933 thousand respectively).
The Group and the Company makes allowances for doubtful accounts receivable. Significant judgment is used to estimate doubtful accounts. In estimating doubtful accounts historical and anticipated customer performance are considered. Changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
The Group and the Company reviews all legal cases for the end of the reporting period and disclose all relevant information in the Note 24.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Post-balance sheet events that provide additional information about the Group's and the Company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-balance sheet events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain IFRS specifically require such set-off.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chiefoperating decision-maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.
The activities of the Group and the Company are organised in one operating segment therefore further information on segments has not been disclosed in these financial statements.
Amortisation expenses of intangible assets are included in the operating expenses in the statement of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income.
As of 31 December 2016 part of the non-current intangible assets of the Group and the Company with the acquisition cost of EUR 1,258 thousand (as of 31 December 2015 – EUR 1,245 thousand) were fully amortised but were still in active use.
The depreciation charge of the Group's and Company's property, plant and equipment as of 31 December 2016 amounts to EUR 6,493 thousand and EUR 6,402 thousand, respectively (as of 31 December 2015 – EUR 6,238 thousand and EUR 6,221 thousand respectively). The amounts of EUR 6,466 thousand and EUR 6,363 thousand (as of 31 December 2015 – EUR 6,201 thousand and EUR 6,201 thousand respectively) were included into operating expenses (under depreciation and amortisation and other expenses lines) in the Group's and the Company's statements of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income. The remaining amounts were included into other activity expenses.
As of 31 December 2016 part of the property, plant and equipment of the Group with acquisition cost of EUR 51,372 thousand (EUR 42,036 thousand as of 31 December 2015) and the Company – EUR 51,210 thousand were fully depreciated (EUR 41,918 thousand as of 31 December 2015), but were still in active use.
As of 31 December 2016 and as of 31 December 2015 the major part of the Group's and Company's construction in progress consisted of reconstruction and overhaul works of boiler-houses equipment and heat supply networks.
As of 31 December 2016 the sum of the Group and the Company contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 15,288 thousand (as of 31 December 2015 – EUR 2,945 thousand).
As of 31 December 2016 property, plant and equipment of the Group with the net book value of EUR 55,788 thousand (EUR 57,556 thousand as of 31 December 2015) and the Company of EUR 51,021 thousand (EUR 57,556 thousand as of 31 December 2015) was pledged to banks as a collateral for loans (Note 11).
The sum of Group's and Company's capitalized interest was equal less than EUR 13 thousand in 2016 (in 2015 –EUR 9 thousand). The capitalization rate varied from 0.95 per cent to 1.29 per cent in 2016 (in 2015 – from 0.15 per cent to 4.51 per cent).
As of 31 December 2016 the Group and the Company accounted for assets, not yet ready for use, amounting to EUR 416 thousand in the category Equipment and tools (EUR 152 thousand as of 31 December 2015).

Long-term loans granted to the employees of the Company for the period from the year 1997 until December 31, 2017 are non-interest bearing. These loans are accounted for at discounted value as of 31 December 2015 using 3.7 per cent interest rate. In 2015 effect of reversed discounting amounted to EUR 1 thousand (in 2014 – EUR 1 thousand).The reversal of discounting is accounted in the change of
depreciation of realisable value of receivables line in the Group's and Company's statements of Profit (loss) and other comprehensive income.
As of 31 December 2016 and as of 31 December 2015 the repayment term of non-current accounts receivable is not yet due and valuation allowance is not determined.

The Group and the Company's principal financial instruments accounted for at amortised cost are trade and other current and non-current receivables, trade and other payables, long-term and short-term borrowings. The net book value of these amounts is similar to their fair value.
Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
• The carrying amount of current trade accounts receivable, current trade accounts payable, other receivables and other payables and current borrowings approximate their fair value.
• The fair value of trade and other payables, long-term and short-term borrowings is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available for borrowings with the same maturity profile. The fair value of non-current borrowings with variable and fixed interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.
