Legal Regulations

Operations of the Company are regulated by the Heating Law No. IX-1565 of 20 May 2003 of the Republic of Lithuania. Starting from 1 January 2008, the Law amending the Heating Law No. X-1329 of 20 November 2007 of the Republic of Lithuania came in to force. Starting from 1 November, 2011 the change in Heating Law came in to force. It determines that heating and hot water systems as well as heat points of blocks of flats must be supervised by the supervisor unrelated to the supplier of heat and hot water, who must be chosen by

inhabitants of this block of flats, without reference to ownership of these heat points. This prohibition, provided by the law, is not applied to the maintenance of heating and hot water systems of buildings which appear in populated localities with less than 50,000 inhabitants according to the data of the Lithuanian Department of Statistics, if the municipal council doesn't make a different decision. Starting from November 1, 2011 any expenses, related to maintenance of the heat points are not included in a heat price since that date.

According to the Heating Law of the Republic of Lithuania, the Company's activities are licensed and regulated by the State Price Regulation Commission of Energy Resources (hereinafter the Commission). On 26 February 2004 the Commission granted the Company the heat distribution license. The license has indefinite maturity, but is subject to meeting certain requirements and may be revoked based on the respective decision of the Commission. The Commission also sets price cap for the heat supply. On the 14 December 2012 the Commission determined by its decision No. O3-413 a new basic heat rates force components for the period from 1 January 2013 till 31 December 2016.

Operational Activity

Company's generation capacities include Petrašiūnai power plant, 4 boiler-houses in Kaunas integrated network, 7 district boiler-houses in Kaunas district, 1 regional boiler-house in Jurbarkas city, 13 boiler-houses in isolated networks and 28 local gas burned boiler-house in Kaunas city and 8 water heating boiler-houses in Sargėnai catchment.

Total installed heat generation capacities amount to 564.476 MW (including 37.5 MW of condensing economizers). Electricity generation capacities amount up to 8.75 MW. 294.8 MW of heat generation capacities (including 16 MW condensing economizer) and 8 MW of electricity generation capacities are located in Petrašiūnai power plant. 29.8 MW of heat generation capacities (including 2.8 MW condensing economizer) are located in Jurbarkas city. Total Company's power generation capacities amount to 573.226 MW (including 37.5 MW of condensing economizers).

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 percent 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 percent) 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 percent 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 22 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. Further progress of the case is described in Note 26.

In 2015 the average number of employees at the Group was 543 (554 employees in 2014). In 2015 the average number of employees at the Company was 540 (551 employees in 2014).

Strategic Decisions

In the year 2012 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, to reduce Lithuania's dependence from imported fossil fuel and to provide the heat energy at a competitive price, the Company initiated reconstruction projects of existing boilerhouses, fitting them to work on wood 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 4,979 thousand in the own assets during the year 2015. EUR 46.46 million were invested during the 2012 – 2015 years period in total.

On April 2015 the Company accomplished the project of reconstruction of Petrašiūnai power-plant performing the installation of two biofuel water heating boilers at capacity of 12 MW each and combined condensational economizer at capacity of 6 MW. Total value of the project with the support from LBSA (EUR 1.52 million) is EUR 6.30 million. 191 GWh of heat energy were produced with this new equipment in the year 2015.

On April 2015 the Company accomplished the second stage of reconstruction of Šilkas boiler-house where the new biofuel burned 8 MW capacity water heating boiler and 4 MW capacity condensational economizer, common for boilers No. 5 and No. 6, were installed instead of old 9 MW capacity water heating boiler DKVR 10-13 No 5. The total value of the project with the support from LBSA (EUR 1.15 million) is EUR 2.33 million.

On 10 December 2015 a new biofuel burned 9 MW capacity boiler was installed in Company's Šilkas boilerhouse instead of DKVR type boiler No. 6. It was connected to the biofuel burned furnace, built in the year 2013. New boiler will be 10 per cent more effective that the old one. Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania assigned support in amount of EUR 141 thousand from Lithuanian Environmental Investment Fund for the project of replacement of biofuel burned boiler No. 6. Total value of the project is EUR 691 thousand. Šilkas boiler-house produced 76 GWh of heat energy in the year 2015.

On September 2015 the Company started procedures of purchase of project of instalment of 15 MW capacity gas burned boiler No 2 with 1,5 MW capacity condensational economizer in Šilkas boiler-house. Estimated value of the purchase is EUR 579.

Performing replacement of used fuel to biofuel the Company accomplished on April 2015 a reconstruction project of Inkaras boiler-house installing here two biofuel burned water heating boilers at capacity of 8 MW each along with furnaces and combined condensational economizer at capacity of 4 MW. Total value of the project with the support from LBSA (EUR 1.74 million) is EUR 5.71 million. 140 GWh of heat energy were produced in Inkaras boiler-house in the year 2015.

National Commission for Energy Control and Prices (hereinafter – Commission) approved on 29 September 2015 corrected Company's Investment Plan. The Company plans to install a 5 MW capacity biofuel burned water heating boiler together with 1 MW capacity condensational economizer in Jurbarkas boiler-house for more than EUR 2.1 million. Technical project for EUR 54 thousand is already prepared and agreed. The project will be implemented in several stages and it is planned to accomplish in the year 2016. The heat will be generated using biofuel will amount up to 60 % in total fuel balance after the reconstruction. It is planned that approximately 34 GWh of heat energy will be produced in Jurbarkas boiler-house per year.

A reconstruction of nine heat supplies pipelines in Kaunas city is being planned in 2016 – 2018 according to Investment Plan agreed with Commission as well. Heat energy supplies to consumers will be more reliable and qualitative after the reconstruction of these pipelines; new possibilities of connecting new consumers to centralized heat supplies network will be created. A total of EUR 16 million are being planned for these purposes. A part of necessary funds are being anticipated from European Union Structural Funds.

The Company renewed a total of 3 km of own main pipelines of integrated network using its own funds in 2015.

On 1 September 2015 tha Company, Kaunas city municipality and UAB Litesko signed a triangular agreement on acquisition of Sargėnai heat economy. UAB Litesko sold to the Company 8 completely automated gas burned water heating boiler-houses, installed in the year 1998, located in Sargėnai catchment according to this agreement. Total power capacity of these boiler-houses is 4,083 MW. They serve to 14 houses and an average of 4.40 GWh of heat is being produced in them per year. Starting from 1 October 2015 the Company started to perform a heat and hot water supplies activity in Sargėnai following the legislation.

On 5 October 2015 the Company concluded a heat supplies agreement for a three years period after winning a public tender for heat supplies of Kaunas Clinical Hospital. The Company started heat supplies for this – one of the biggest consumers in the city on 30 December 2015. The Company plans to supply approximately a 5 GWh of heat energy for this consumer per year.

The Company produced a total of 522 GWh of heat energy with its own production capacities during the year 2015 (426 GWh were produced using biofuel). This is a 79 per cent more than in the year 2014 respectively (292 GWh (80 GWh of them were produced using biofuel)). Usage of biofuel had a significant influence in the heat price reduction for heat and hot water consumers.

In the year 2015 the common index of Company's fuel usage was 81.65 kgne/MWh, i.e. at 6.85 kgne/MWh lower than in the year 2014 and at 9.45 kgne/MWh lower than as compared to the index (91.1 kgne/MWh) used in a base heat price accounting. The Company saved 4,933 tne of fuel during the year producing 522 GWh of heat.

Company's annual technological heat losses in centralized heat supplies network in the year 2015 were at 221 GWh or at 23 GWh (10 per cent) lower than in the year 2014. As compared to the index (280 GWh) used in a base heat price accounting, approximately 59 GWh of heat were saved.

Company's annual water consumption for technological purposes in the year 2015 was 177 thousand tons or at 78 thousand tons (30.5 per cent) lower than in the year 2014. Compared to the index (518 thousand tons) used in a base heat price accounting, approximately 341 tons of water were saved.

Effectiveness of biofuel burned water heating boiler-houses, installed in the year 2015 reached approximately 90 per cent.

On March 2015 after UAB Ekopartneris biofuel burned boiler house with total capacity of 17.5 MW was connected to Company's heat supply network the total maximum capacity of biofuel burned boiler houses of all independent heat producers (hereinafter – IHP) amounts to 153 MW. In total AB Kauno Energija purchases heat from nine IHP (eight of them sell heat, produced using biofuel).

The Company has applications from 11 potential IHP at the moment (with total capacity of approximately 500 MW) for connection of their equipment to Company's integrated heat supply network. Together with coming of IHP, new issues arose, such as network management and balancing of IHP capacities in the case of emergency stop, maintaining of optimum working parameters, regulation of order of heat purchase from IHP and its vicissitude and appliance.

Responding to Lietuvos Energija, UAB invitation to put forward proposals of cooperation on implementation of projects of cogeneration plants, the Company placed an application on 22 July 2014 regarding participation in contest, announced by Lietuvos Energija, UAB, named Cooperation For Implementation of Modernization Projects of Heat Economies of Vilnius and Kaunas Cities, By Equipping Cogeneration Power-plants, Using Local and Renewable Energy Sources. On March 2015 Company's application has been recognized as suitable. On 20 May 2015 Lietuvos Energija, UAB signed a contract with UAB Fortum Heat Lietuva regarding development of a project of new cogeneration power-plant in Kaunas. It is anticipated in contract that except UAB Fortum Heat Lietuva, the shares of new power-plant can be offered for purchasing to the Company.

Company's implemented projects, effective and rational development of production sources as well as the competition between heat producers made an impact on decrease of heat price for consumers. Heat price for consumers in December 2015 decreased by 22.4 per cent as compared to the heat price in December 2014.

On 2 October 2015 the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of AB Kauno Energija made the decision to purchase Palemonas settlement heat economy, which is situated in the territory of Kaunas city municipality for the price, bargained with UAB Fortum Heat Lietuva and the other terms of acquisition and to accomplish procedures of acquisition of Palemonas settlement heat economy, after the additional approval from the main shareholder of AB Kauno Energija – Director of Kaunas City Municipality Administration will be obtained.

2. Accounting principles

2.1. Adoption of new and/or amended IFRS

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.

2.2. Statement of Compliance

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).

2.3. Basis of the preparation of financial statements

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.

2.4. Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

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 percent 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 existing subsidiaries

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.

2.5.Investments in subsidiaries

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.

2.6.Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

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.

Derecognition of intangible assets

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.

Licenses

Amounts paid for licenses are capitalised and then amortised over useful life (3 – 4 years).

Software

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.

2.7.Accounting for emission rights

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.

2.8.Property, plant and equipment

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.

2.9.Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding goodwill

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.

2.10. Financial assets

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.

Effective interest rate method

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 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:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; or
  • on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group and the Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

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 (AFS financial assets)

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

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.

Impairment of financial assets

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:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
  • it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organization; or
  • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.

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.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group and the Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group and the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group and the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group and the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group and the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.

2.11. Derivative financial instruments

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.

2.12. Inventories

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.

2.13. Provisions

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.

2.14. Cash and cash equivalents

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.

2.15. Employee benefits

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.

2.16. Borrowing costs

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.

2.17. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification as debt or equity

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.

Equity instruments

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

Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities 'at FVTPL' or 'other financial liabilities'.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

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

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.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

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.

2.18. Leasing

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.

The Group and the Company as lessor

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.

The Group and the Company as lessee

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.

2.19. Grants (deferred income)

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.

2.20. Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

Income tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. In 2015 the income tax applied to the Group and the Company was 15 percent (2014 – 15 percent).

Deferred tax

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.

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.

2.21. Basic and diluted earnings per share

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.

2.22. Revenue recognition

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;

  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the Company; and
  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

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 below.

2.23. Expense recognition

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.

2.24. Foreign currencies

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. Nonmonetary 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 2015 As of 31 December 2014
1 EUR = 1.09260 USD 1 EUR = 1.2141 USD
1 EUR = 0.73799 GBP 1 EUR = 0.7789 GBP
1 EUR = 3.4528 LTL

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.

2.25. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

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.

Estimates and assumptions

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:

Property, plant and equipment – useful life

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.

Realisable value of inventory

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.

Carrying value of non-current assets received as a contribution in kind

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 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 2015 carrying value of total contribution in-kind amounted to EUR 36,190 thousand, including the manifolds, which amounted to EUR 35,933 thousand (31 December 2014: EUR 36,741 thousand and EUR 36,461 thousand respectively).

Allowances for accounts receivable

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 Asset

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.

Litigations

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.

2.26. Contingencies

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.

2.27. Subsequent events

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.

2.28. Offsetting and comparative figures

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.

2.29. Segments

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.

3. Intangible assets

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 2015 part of the non-current intangible assets of the Group and the Company with the acquisition cost of EUR 1,245 thousand (as of 31 December 2014 – EUR 1,346 thousand) were fully amortised but were still in active use.

4. Property, plant and equipment

The depreciation charge of the Group's and Company's property, plant and equipment for the half ended as of 31 December 2015 amounts to EUR 6,238 thousand and EUR 6,221 thousand, respectively (as of 31 December 2014 – EUR 5,542 thousand and EUR 5,533 thousand respectively). The amounts of EUR 6,201 thousand and EUR 6,201 thousand (as of 31 December 2014 – EUR 5,509 thousand and EUR 5,509 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 2015 part of the property, plant and equipment of the Group with acquisition cost of EUR 42,036 thousand (EUR 33,288 thousand as of 31 December 2014) and the Company – EUR 41,918 thousand were fully depreciated (EUR 33,251 thousand as of 31 December 2014), but were still in active use.

As of 31 December 2015 and as of 31 December 2014 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 2015 the sum of the Group's and the Company's contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 2,945 thousand (as of 31 December 2014 – EUR 14,712 thousand).

As of 31 December 2015 property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company with the net book value of EUR 57,556 thousand (EUR 42,914 thousand as of 31 December 2014) was pledged to banks as a collateral for loans (Note 11).

The sum of Group's and Company's capitalized interest was equal to EUR 9 thousand in 2015 (in 2014 – EUR 49 thousand). The capitalization rate varied from 0.15 percent to 4.51 percent in 2015 (in 2014 – from 1.01 percent to 2.87 percent).

The Group and the Company considers that maximum risk is equal to the sum of receivables from buyers and other receivables, less recognized impairment losses as of the date of balance sheet (note 8).

The Group and the Company do not guarantee obligations of the other parties in 2015 and in 2014.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group and the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial investments, the Group's and the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

Interest rate risk

All of the borrowings of the Group and the Company, except those loans signed with Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, are at variable interest rates. Therefore the Group and the Company faces an interest rate

risk. In the year 2015 and as at 31 December 2014 the Group and the Company had not been entered into valid interest rate swap agreements in order to manage variable rate risk.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (increase and decrease in basis points was determined based on Lithuanian economic environment and the Group's and the Company's historical experience), with all other variables held constant, of the Group's and the Company's profit before tax (estimating debts with floating interest rate). There is no impact on the Group's and the Company's equity, other than current year profit impact.

Fair value of financial instruments

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.
