To the Shareholders of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements (hereinafter "the financial statements") of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, set out on pages 5-47.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
×.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2015, and of their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
We draw attention to Note 6 of the financial statements, which describes that low oil and gas prices, geopolitical tensions and ongoing international sanctions worsened Russia's economy performance in 2015, which together with other events described in Note 6 may have an adverse effect on the performance and financial position of the Group. Currently, the extent of such effect cannot be estimated. Therefore, significant uncertainty exists that future business development in Russia may differ from the management's assessments.
Furthermore, we have read the consolidated annual report of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas for the year ended 31 December 2015, set out on pages 48-99 of the financial statements, and have not identified any material inconsistencies between the financial information included in the consolidated annual report and the consolidated financial statements of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas for the year ended 31 December 2015.

As a result, AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas converted its financial accounting to euros as from 1 January 2015. The consolidated financial statements for the current year were prepared and presented in euro. The comparative information of the previous financial year was converted into euro using the official exchange rate of LTL 3.4528 to EUR 1.
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:
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Parent Company. Control exists when the Parent Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that currently are exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries have been prepared for the same reporting year, using the same accounting policies. Intra-group income and expenses, amounts receivable and payable and any unrealized results (if losses are not absorbed by majority) are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are reversed only if no impairment indications appears.
Comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to non-controlling interest even if this results in a negative balance of non-controlling interest. Change of ownership share in the subsidiary when control is retained, is accounted for as equity transaction. If the Group loses control of the subsidiary company, it:
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.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits.
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 day of the transaction. 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.
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.
The Group has no derivative financial instruments.
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 valuers. 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 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 are capitalized in assets that comply with capitalisations requirements.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items 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 | 8–40 years |
|---|---|---|
| • | Plant and equipment | 5–15 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.
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets of the acquirees. When the excess is negative (negative goodwill), it is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
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.
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.
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.
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 impaired. An 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. Impairment losses are 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. For that purpose, the asset's recoverable amount is measured.
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). Property, plant and equipment is allocated to two cash-generating units: Construction and Real estate development, part of assets is not allocated.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
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 future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying construction services are sold. 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 borne by the State.
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. There are no long-term employee 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 probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a 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.
Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income from other property is recognised as other income.
Finance income comprises interest income. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense. 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 deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
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.
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.
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 highest managing body 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 highest managing body of the Group include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Information about geographical areas is provided in the financial statements. In 2015 and 2014 the Group has three identified geographical areas: Lithuania, Russia and Norway.
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.
Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in these financial statements to all periods presented in these financial statements.
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2015.
The following amendments to standards with effective date of 1 January 2015 did not have any impact on these consolidated financial statements:
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
A number of new standards, amendments and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group as well as management's judgements regarding the possible impact of initial application of new and revised standards and interpretations are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these amendments, standards and interpretations early.
(i) IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)
These Amendments require business combination accounting to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a joint operation that constitutes a business. Business combination accounting also applies to the acquisition of additional interests in a joint operation while the joint operator retains joint control. The additional interest acquired will be measured at fair value. The previously held interests in the joint operation will not be remeasured.
The Group is not a party to any joint arrangements.
(ii) IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)
The Amendments to include the five, narrow-focus improvements to the disclosure requirements contained in the standard.
The Group expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on the presentation of the financial statements of the Group.
(iii) IAS 19 – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015)
The amendments are relevant only to defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties meeting certain criteria. When these criteria are met, a company is permitted (but not required) to recognise them as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.
The Group does not expect the amendment to have any impact on the financial statements since it does not have any defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties.
(iv) IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)
The amendments allow an entity to use the equity method in its separate financial statements to account for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
The Group prepares consolidated financial statements; therefore, the amendment will not have any impact on the financial statements.
(v) Annual Improvements to IFRSs
The improvements introduce ten amendments to ten standards and consequential amendments to other standards and interpretations. These amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after either 1 February 2015 or 1 January 2016, with earlier adoption permitted.
None of these amendments are expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.
The Group has exposure to the following 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 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 analyze 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 to a financial instrument 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 analyzed 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 maximum exposure to credit risk can be specified as follows:

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are 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.
Issued loans are receivable from the related parties and on 31 December 2015 were not impaired.
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 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 2015 and 2014 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 euro.
During the year, currency exchange rates in respect of the euro were as follows:
| 31 | 31 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

The Group has significant business interest in Russia. Low oil and gas prices, geopolitical tensions and ongoing international sanctions deepened Russia's economic crisis for the year 2015. The significant drop down of rubble against the euro, the double digit inflation rate led to a fall in real Russian's wages and to higher import prices, thus hurting household spending. As a result, reduced consumer demand also hurt the consumer-oriented sectors of the economy. The continuing instability in the Russian business environment may have an adverse effect on the performance and financial position of the Group. Currently, the extent of such effect cannot be estimated. These consolidated financial statements reflect the management's current assessment of the impact of the Russia's business environment on the performance and financial position of the Group. Future business environment may differ from the management's assessments. No adjustments have been made in these consolidated financial statements in view of the effect of the events in Russia and other countries after the date of these consolidated financial statements.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2015 and 2014 at the Group.
.
Cash represents cash on hand stated at value equal to the fair value.
The fair value of trade and other receivables and term deposits is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of trade and other receivables with outstanding maturities shorter than six months 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. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.
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 the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease 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.
Fair values are categorised within different levels in a fair value hierarchy, which disclosed the significance of initial inputs used in the valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy consists of these levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – original inputs other than quoted prices included within 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 – original inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable original inputs).
The Group has no financial assets and liabilities stated at fair value.
The main financial instruments of the Group which are not measured at fair value include trade and other receivables, term deposits, trade and other payables, current and non-current borrowing funds. As to the Group's management, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values, as borrowings costs are related to interbank borrowing interest rate EURIBOR, while other financial assets and liabilities are current; therefore, the changes in their fair values are insignificant.

When preparing the financial statements, a mistake was found in the measurement of deferred tax assets, resulting from operations in Russia. The financial statements were adjusted by reducing the deferred tax assets resulting from operations in Russia. The management reassessed the situation and decided to recognize impairment to reflect the uncertainties and risk arising from the Russian market, where the Group has projects. The decision was taken to correct the error retrospectively. It was corrected by restating all items of the consolidated financial statements for the previous financial year related to the error. The table below presents the effect of error correction on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Panevezio statybos trestas AB keeps on maintaining the position of one of the largest construction companies in Lithuania. The year 2015 was not easy for the company. The challenging competitive environment remained unchanged in the construction market. The still tense economic and geopolitical situation in the East had effect on the activities and financial results of the company. A number of Lithuanian companies are selling their services in the Scandinavian and neighbouring countries Latvia and Poland; therefore, the export trends of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group are undergoing changes. In 2015 the branch in Kaliningrad Region and the representative office in Cherepovets were closed down. Over the reporting year the company started exporting to Sweden. The subsidiary company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB, PST Nordic AB, signed the construction contract with Åke Sundvall Byggnads AB.
Activities of the PST companies have significant effect on development of the infrastructure in the country, the implemented unique orders of national importance contribute to strengthening of the image of a responsible company among clients and business partners. The clients trust PST and value it as a builder experienced in large in scope and technologically complicated projects.
In 2015 construction of Sludge Treatment Plant to be used to treat waste water and utilise all sludge from Taurage Region was completed in Taurage District. Construction activities were successfully completed in Klaipeda County Police Headquarters. The project covered a new building of the headquarters together with a detention facility. The contracts awarded and signed in the year 2015 (construction of a new packaging production building for Smurfit Kappa Baltic UAB in Savanoriu Avenue, Vilnius, construction of a storage building with a garage and administration facilities in the area of Vilnius Airport for Litcargus UAB, reconstruction of the National M.K. Ciurlionis School of Art at T. Kosciuskos Street 11A, Vilnius, expansion of the shopping and leisure centre Mega and area landscaping for Baltic Shopping Centres AB, construction of a new storage building with offices at Liepkalnio Street 188, Vilnius for Wirtgen Lietuva UAB) let us hope that PST will keep on working with stable profit and at the same time maintain the high quality standard.
In the yearly competition Lithuanian Product of the Year organized by the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialist the company was awarded the gold medal for construction of Sludge Treatment Plant in Taurage.
In 2015 the following branches continued their operation in the structure of the company: Gerbusta, focusing on construction of engineering networks and landscaping, Pastatu apdaila, carrying out indoor and outdoor finishing works, Betonas, Konstrukcija, Stogas where production capacities were concentrated, Vilnius branch Genranga, performing general contracting activities and project management in Vilnius Region, and Klaipstata, performing general contracting activities and project management in Klaipeda Region.

| PRINCIPLES/ RECOMMENDATIONS | YES/NO NOT APPLICABLE |
COMMENTARY |
|---|---|---|
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
The overriding objective of a company should be to operate in common interests of all the shareholders by optimizing over time shareholder value.
| 1.1. A company should adopt and make public the company's development strategy and objectives by clearly declaring how the company intends to meet the interests of its shareholders and optimize shareholder value. |
Yes | The Company's strategy and objectives are made public on the website http//www.pst.lt and in the notifications for the Vilnius Stock Exchange, periodic notifications to the BNS news agency, notifications in the newspapers and at the press conferences. |
|---|---|---|
| 1.2. All management bodies of a company should act in | Yes | |
| furtherance of the declared strategic objectives in view of | ||
| the need to optimize shareholder value. | ||
| 1.3. A company's supervisory and management bodies | Yes | The Board of the Company is responsible not only for the |
| should act in close co-operation in order to attain maximum | strategic management of the Company but also analyses and | |
| benefit for the company and its shareholders. | evaluates the material on all issues of the Company activities | |
| presented by the managers: implementation of activity strategy, activity arrangement, financial status, etc. |
||
| 1.4. A company's supervisory and management bodies | Yes | |
|---|---|---|
| should ensure that the rights and interests of persons other | ||
| than the company's shareholders (e.g. employees, creditors, | ||
| suppliers, clients, local community), participating in or | ||
| connected with the company's operation, are duly respected. | ||
The corporate governance framework should ensure the 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 | with principle complies this in Company The recommendation, though only one collegial management body, the Board, is set up, however the authority assigned to the Board by the Articles of Association essentially matches the authority assigned to the Supervisory Board. |
| 2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected by the general shareholders' meeting should be set up and should act in the manner defined in Principles III and IV. Where a company should decide not to set up a collegial supervisory body but rather a collegial management body, i.e. the board, Principles III and IV should apply to the board as long as that does not contradict the essence and purpose of this body. 1 |
Yes |
<sup>1 Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders' meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body that is essentially formed to ensure supervision of the company's board and the chief executive officer and to represent the company's shareholders. However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board (e.g. formation of the committees), should not be applied to the board, as the competence and functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) are different. For instance, item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive officer of the company, but not of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the extent it relates 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 procedure should not be easier than the removal procedure for an executive director or a member of the management board. |
No | As the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania provides for the possibility to elect only one either collegial supervision or management body, the collegial management body, the Board, is set up in the Company. The Supervisory Board is not set up. |
| 2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting may be a person whose current or past office constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent and impartial supervision. Where a company should decide not to set up a supervisory board but rather the board, it is recommended that the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company should be a different person. Former company's chief executive officer should not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting. When a company chooses to departure from these recommendations, it should furnish information on the measures it has taken to ensure impartiality of the supervision. |
Yes | The Chairman of the Board represents the main shareholder and has never been the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. |
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
| 3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a collegial body to | Yes | Though there are no independent members of the Board at the |
|---|---|---|
| be elected by a general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in | Company, the Board ensures objective and fair monitoring of | |
| this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should | the Company's management bodies as well as representation | |
| ensure objective and fair monitoring of the company's | of minority shareholders. | |
| management bodies as well as representation of minority | ||
| shareholders. |
<sup>2 Definitions 'executive director' and 'non-executive director' are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.
<sup>3 Attention should be drawn to the fact that in the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it is natural that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.
| 3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to become members of a collegial body, information about their education, qualification, professional background, positions taken and potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed early enough before the general shareholders' meeting so that the shareholders would have sufficient time to make an informed voting decision. All factors affecting the candidate's independence, the sample list of which is set out in Recommendation 3.7, should be also disclosed. The collegial body should also be informed on any subsequent changes in the provided information. The collegial body should, on yearly basis, collect data provided in this item on its members and disclose this in the company's annual report. |
Yes/No | 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 properly, the collegial body should comprise a sufficient 4 number of independent 5 members. |
No | Historically the Company exhibits the situation that the sufficiency of the independent members has not been considered. As the trading of the Company shares takes place actively and the minority shareholders take an active part in the management of the Company, the Company will seek implementation of this principle. |
|---|---|---|
| 3.7. A member of the collegial body should be considered to be independent only if he is free of any business, family or other relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder or the management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all cases when member of the collegial body is likely to become dependant are impossible to list, moreover, relationships and circumstances associated with the determination of independence may vary amongst companies and the best practices of solving this problem are yet to evolve in the course of time, assessment of independence of a member of the collegial body should be based on the contents of the relationship and circumstances rather than their form. The key criteria for identifying whether a member of the collegial body can be considered to be independent are the following: 1) he/she is not an executive director or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory board) of the company or any associated company and has not been such during the last five years; he/she is not an employee of the company or some 2) 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 $\alpha$ representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1); |
No | All five members of the Board are related to the largest shareholder - Panevėžio keliai AB. The candidates to become the members of the Board are proposed to the Shareholders' Meeting by Panevėžio keliai AB, which holds 49.78 per cent of the authorised capital of the Company. |
<sup>4 The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to the novelty of the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.
<sup>5 It should be noted that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes of the majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body elected by the majority shareholders may be considered independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.
| 7) | 5) he/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated company within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a 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; 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. |
N o | 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. |
|---|---|---|
| 3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial body for their work and participation in the meetings of the collegial body, they may be remunerated from the company's funds. 6 . The general shareholders' meeting should approve the amount of such remuneration. |
Yes | The Shareholders' Meeting approves the amount of tantiemes allocated to the members of the Board. Referring to the International Accounting Standards, tantiemes for the members of the Board are attributed to operating expenses of the Company. |
The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring7 of the company's management bodies and protection of interests of all the company's shareholders.
| 4.1. The collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure integrity and transparency of the company's financial statements and the control system. The collegial body should issue recommendations to the company's management bodies and monitor and control the company's management performance. 8 |
Yes | Once a quarter the Board hears out the report of the Chief Executive Officer and the Finance Director of the Company, analyses their activities, evaluates its effectiveness and provides recommendations, if required. 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.
<sup>6 It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) provides that members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in the supervisory board or 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 bonuses (tantiems) should 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 no prohibition to remunerate members of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either.
<sup>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 9 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 2015 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 2015. Three members of the Board participated in all meetings of the Board and two members of the Board participated in 12 meetings. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
<sup>9 It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should be informed about failure to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the collegial body participated at less than 2/3 or 3/4 of
the meetings. Such measures, which ensure active participation in the meetings o 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 bodies 10 . Members of the collegial body should act and pass decisions without an outside influence from the persons who have elected it. Companies should ensure that the collegial body and its committees are provided with sufficient administrative and financial resources to discharge their duties, including the right to obtain, in particular from employees of the company, all the necessary information or to seek independent legal, accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining to the competence of the collegial body and its committees. When using the services of a consultant with a view to obtaining information on market standards for remuneration systems, the remuneration committee should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at the same time advice the human resources department, executive directors or collegial management organs of the company concerned. |
Yes | The collegial management body, which to a wide extent is dependent on the main shareholder acting in a 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. |
|---|---|---|
| 4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a manner that independent members of the collegial body could have major influence in relevant areas where chances of occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be considered as highly relevant are issues of nomination of company's directors, determination of directors' remuneration and control and assessment of company's audit. Therefore when the mentioned issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish nomination, remuneration, and audit committees 11 . 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.
