Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of AB Snaige

Report on the Parent Company's and Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of AB Snaige ("the Company"), which comprise the separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the separate statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 5–56. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AB Snaige and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 5-56.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate and consolidated financial statements (hereinafter "the financial statements) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of these financial statements that are from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

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 whether these financial statements are free of 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 our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of these financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's and Group's preparation and fair presentation of these 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 Company's and Group's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Company's and Group's 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 qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

As disclosed in Note 29, as at 31 December 2013 the Group and the Company had trade receivables from Ukrainian customers amounting to 9,130 thousand Litas, from which approximately 3,500 thousand Litas were overdue as at 31 December 2013. The management of the Group expected to recover the above mentioned overdue amounts and therefore no estimation of recoverable value had been prepared for those receivables as at 31 December 2013. IAS 39 Financial Instruments requires that, when any impairment indications exist, management prepares an estimate of the recoverable value of receivables and any impairment loss is recognized immediately. The management has prepared such estimate when preparing the financial statements as at 31 December 2014 and recognized impairment loss of 2,913 thousand Litas relating to the above mentioned receivables from Ukrainian customers as at 31 December 2014. In our view, given the events and conditions that existed as at 31 December 2013, there were indications that receivables from Ukrainian customers were impaired already as at 31 December 2013; however, no estimation of recoverable value has been made for these receivables in 2013. Due to this matter, we modified our auditor's report dated 16 April 2014 on the financial statements as at and for the year ended modified be addition on the current year's financial statements is also modified because of the potential effect of this matter on the retained earnings (loss) as at 31 December 2013 and net profit (loss) for the year ended 31 December 2014.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion, except for the effect of the matter referred to in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the unconsolidated financial position of AB the separate in necessor and of its unconsolidated financial performance and unconsolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

In our opinion, except for the effect of the matter referred to in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of AB Snage and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2014, and of the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Emphasis of Matter

Without further qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements Commitments and Contingencies, which presents the information on the Company's suretyship agreements with the bank, based on which the Company is jointly and severally liable for the loans of OAO Polair amounting to 40,874 thousand Litas as at 31 December 2014. Should the Company become obliged to fulfil its liabilities as to the above mentioned suretyship agreements, this could cause significant uncertainty regarding the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Furthermore, we have read the consolidated annual report of AB Snaige for the year ended 31 December 2014, set out on pages 57-108 of the financial statements, and have not identified any material inconsistencies between the financial information included in the annual report and the financial statements of AB Snaige for the year ended 31 December 2014.

2 Accounting principles

2.1. Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter "the EU").

These are separate Company's and consolidated AB Snaige Group financial statements. These financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis.

Changes in accounting policies

The Group and the Company have adopted the following new standards and amendments including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2014.

IFRS 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (i)

IFRS 12 brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity's interest in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. As a result of IFRS 12, the Group has expanded its disclosures about its interests in subsidiaries (Note 1).

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements also became first applicable in 2014; however, it is not applicable to the Company as the Company does not participate in joint arrangements.

(ii) IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements

As a result of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over and consequently whether it consolidates its investees. IFRS 10 (2011) introduces a new control model that focuses on whether the Group has power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and ability to use its power to affect those returns.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)

2 Accounting principles (cont'd)

2.1. Basis of preparation (cont'd)

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10 (2011), the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees at 1 January 2014. The Group concluded that there are no changes in control assessment as a consequence of new rules introduced by IFRS 10 (2011).

Other amendments to standards (iii)

The following amendments to standards with effective date of 1 January 2014 did not have any impact on these financial statements:

  • IAS 27 (2011) Separate Financial Statements;
  • IAS 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures;
  • Amendments to IAS 32 on Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities;
  • Amendments to IAS 27 on Investment Entities;
  • Amendments to IAS 36 on Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets;
  • Amendments to IAS 39 on Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting.

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

A number of new standards, amendments and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group and the Company 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 and the Company do not plan to adopt these amendments, standards and interpretations early.

(i) 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. Namely that they are:

  • set out in the formal terms of the plan;
  • linked to service; and
  • independent of the number of years of service.

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 and the Company do not expect the Amendment to have any impact on the financial statements since they do not have any defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties.

(ii)

The Interpretation provides guidance as to the identification of the obligating event giving rise to a liability, and to the timing of recognising a liability to pay a levy imposed by government. In accordance with the Interpretation, the obligating event is the activity that triggers the payment of that levy, as identified in the relevant legislation and as a consequence, the liability for paying the levy is recognised when this event occurs. The liability to pay a levy is recognised progressively if the obligating event occurs over a period of time. If the reaching of a minimum activity threshold, the corresponding liability is recognised when that minimum activity threshold is reached. The Interpretation sets out that an entity cannot have a constructive obligation to pay a levy that will be triggered by operating in a future period as a result of the entity being economically compelled to continue to operate in that future period. It is expected that the Interpretation, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on the financial statements, since it does not result in a change in the Group's and the Company's accounting policy regarding levies imposed by governments.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs (iii)

The improvements introduce eleven amendments to nine standards and consequential amendments to other standards and interpretations. Amendments to five of these standards are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015, with earlier adoption permitted. Another four standards are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier adoption permitted.

Accounting principles (cont'd) 2

2.1. Basis of preparation (cont'd)

None of these amendments are expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.

a. IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

The amendment clarifies that in its first IFRS financial statements, a first-time adopter is permitted but not required to apply a new or revised IFRS that is not yet mandatory but is available for early application.

b. IFRS 2 Share-based Payment

IFRS 2 has been amended to clarify the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining 'performance condition' and 'service condition.'

IFRS 3 Business Combinations c

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (with consequential amendments to other standards) clarifies that when contingent consideration is a financial instrument, its classification as a liability or equity is determined by reference to JAS 32, rather than to any other standard. It also clarifies that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability shall be measured at fair value at each reporting date.

IFRS 3 has also been amended to clarify that the standard does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangements in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements – i.e. including joint operations – in the financial statements of the joint arrangements themselves.

IFRS 8 Operating Segments ರ

IFRS 8 has been amended to explicitly require the disclosure of judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria. The disclosures include a brief description of the operating segments that have been aggregated, and the economic indicators that have been assessed in determining that the operating segments share similar economic characteristics.

In addition, this amendment clarifies that a reconciliation of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets is required only if this information is regularly provided to the entity's chief operating decision maker. This change aligns the disclosure requirements with those for segment liabilities.

e. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The IASB has clarified that, in issuing IFRS 13 and making consequential amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 9, it did not intend to prevent entities from measuring short-term receivables and payables that have no stated interest rate at their invoiced amounts without discounting, if the effect of not discounting is immaterial.

The scope of the IFRS 13 portfolio exception – whereby entities are exempted from measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting risk positions on a net basis if certain conditions are met - has been aligned with the scope of IAS 39 and IFRS 9.

IFRS 13 has been amended to clarify that the portfolio exception potentially applies to contracts in the scope of IAS 39 and IFRS 9 regardless of whether they meet the definition of a financial liability under IAS 32 – e.g. certain contracts to buy or sell non-financial items that can be settled net in cash or another financial instrument.

f. IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets

IAS 16 and IAS 38 have been amended to clarify that, at the date of revaluation:

  • the gross carrying amount:
    • is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset e.g. le "driation" in "a manner" a change in the carrying amount or by reference to observable market data; and
    • the accumulated depreciation (amortisation) is adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated impairment losses; or
  • · the accumulated depreciation) is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.

g. IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures

The definition of a 'related party' is extended to include a management entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity, either directly or through a group entity.

IAS 40 Investment Property h.

IAS 40 has been amended to clarify that an entity should assess whether an acquired property is an investment property under IAS 40; and perform a separate assessment under IFRS 3 to determine whether the acquisition of the investment property constitutes a business combination.

Entities will still need to use judgement to determine whether the acquisition of an investment property is an acquisition of a business under IFRS 3.

2.2. Going concern

These financial statements for the year 2014 have been prepared based on the assumption that the Group and the Company will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of not less than 1 year.

2.3. Presentation currency

The Group's financial statements are presented in local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, litas (LTL), which is the Company's functional and the Group's and the Company's presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. All differences are included in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date.

The functional currency of a foreign entity TOB Snaige Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH). As at the reporting date, the r research of this subsidiary are / were translated into the presentation currency of AB Snaige (LTL) at the rate of exchange at the statement of financial position date and their items of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at the average monthly exchange rates for the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are stated in other comprehensive income. On a foreign entity, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in the shareholders' equity caption relating to that particular foreign operation is transferred to profit or loss. The performance results of the subsidiaries the control of which is lost are presented in the consolidated financial statements only for the period when control belonged to the Group.

Lithuanian litas is pegged to euro at the rate of 3.4528 litas for 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania. The applicable exchange rates of the functional currencies as at the 31 December 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

31 December
2014
31 December
2013
RUB 0.0502 0.0767
UAH 0.1794 0.3046
usp 2.8387 2.5098

All amounts in these financial statements are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated.

On 1 January 2015 the national currency of the Republic of Lithuania litas was replaced by the euro. The currency translation was done at the exchange rate approved by the Bank of Lithuania, i.e. 3.4528; therefore, it will not have any impact on the Company's operations.

2.4. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Snaige and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year, using consistent accounting policies.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which effective control is transferred to the Company and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions among the Group companies have been eliminated. The equity and net result attributable to non-controlling interest are shown separately in the statement of financial position and profit or loss. Acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interest by the Group are accounted as equity transaction: the difference between the carrying value of the net assets acquired from/disposed to the non-controlling interests in the Group's financial statements and the acquisition price/proceeds from disposal is accounted directly in equity.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
  • Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
  • · Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity;
  • · Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
  • · Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
  • · Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
  • · Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Incurred comprehensive expenses related to acquisition are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least once a year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment of its carrying amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

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

2 5 Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries in the Company's statement of financial position are accounted at cost less impairment.

Investment cost is equal to the fair value of the consideration given. The investment is tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount of the investment. If such indications exist, the Company makes an estimate of the investment's recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount (higher of the two: fair value less costs to sell and value in use). Impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as finance costs for the period.

Profit (loss) from disposal of investments is accounted for in profit or loss under financing activities.

2.6. Intangible assets, except for goodwill

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic inkingible access are measure will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (1-8 years).

The useful lives and amortisation method are reviewed annually to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in intangible assets other than goodwill.

Research and development

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on individual projects is recognised as an intangible asset when the Group and the Company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intengible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, their intention to complete and their ability to use or sell the asset so that the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.

Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset r ollowing million of the mortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit. Amortization periods from 1 to 8 years are applied. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

Licenses

Amounts paid for licences are capitalised and amortised over their validity period.

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 that the Group and the Company expect from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.

The Company and the Group have no intangible assets with indefinite useful lifetime.

Accounting principles (cont'd) 2

2.7. Property, plant and equipment and investment property

Property, plant and equipment, including investment property, are assets that are controlled by the Group and the Company, which are expected to generate economic benefits in the future periods with the useful life exceeding one year, and which acquisition (manufacturing) cost could be reliably measured. Property, plant and equipment and investment property is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost of replacing part of such assets when that cost is incurred if the asset recognition criteria are met. Replaced parts are written off.

An item of property, plant and equipment and investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

The carrying amounts of property, plant and investment property are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, whenever estimated. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings and structures (including investment property) 15-63 years,
Machinery and equipment 5-15 years,
Vehicles 4-6 years,
Other property, plant and equipment 3-8 years.

The asset's carrying amounts, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Construction in progress is stated at cost less accumulated impairment. 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.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of non-current assets are capitalised, otherwise - expensed as incurred. No borrowing costs were capitalised in 2014 and 2013,

2.8. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Property, plant and equipment once classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

If the Group and the Company have classified an asset as held for sale, but the above mentioned criteria are no longer met, the Group and the Company cease to classify the asset as held for sale and measure a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale at the lower of: its carrying amount before the asset was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation or revaluations that would have been recognised had the asset not been classified as held for sale, and its recoverable amount at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. The adjustment to the carrying amount of a non-current asset that ceases to be classified as held for sale is recorded in profit or loss in the period in which the criteria are no longer met.

2.9. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after write-down of obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.

2.10. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturiies 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, deposits at current accounts, and other short-term highly liquid investments.

2.11. Financial assets

According to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" the Group's financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans above and available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. Financial assets are initially recognised at acquisition cost which is equal to the fair value of the consideration paid, including (except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) any transaction costs.

The Group and the Company determine the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluate this designation at each financial year end.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the Group and the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation in the market.

The Group and the Company did not have financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments or available-for-sale financial assets as at 31 December 2014 and 2013.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impaiment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Allowance for receivables and loans is evaluated when the indications that receivables will not be recovered exist and the carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts and receivables are derecognised (written-off) when they are assessed as uncollectible.

The effective interest 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 payments through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

2.12. Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities.

The Group has no financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including loans) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method in subsequent periods.

Convertible bonds are separated into liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract (if applicable).

On issuance of the convertible bonds, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption.

The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion is not remeasured in subsequent years. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bonds based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.

2.13. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

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

Where the Group and the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from an asset and have neither transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's and the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

2.14. Finance lease and operating lease

Finance lease - the Group and the Company as lessee

Leases in terms of which the Group and the Company assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases

The Group and the Company recognise finance leases as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at amounts equal at the inception of the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The rate of discount used when calculating the present value of minimum payments of finance lease is the nominal interest rate of finance lease payment, when it is possible to determine it, in other cases, the Group's and the Company's composite interest rate on borrowings is applied. Directly attributable initial costs are included into the asset value. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

The depreciation is accounted for finance lease assets and it also gives rise to financial costs for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are owned. The leased assets cannot be depreciated over the period longer than the lease term, unless the Group and the Company according to the lease contract get transferred their ownership after the lease term is over.

If the result of sales and lease back transactions is finance lease, any profit from sales exceeding the book value is not recognised as income immediately. It is deferred and amortised over the finance lease term.

Operating lease - the Group and the Company as lessee

Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The gains from discounts provided by the lessor are recognised as a decrease over the period of the lease using the straight-line method.

If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The loss is then deferred and it is amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.

2.15. Grants and subsidies

Grants and subsidies (hereinafter "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 (mainly received from the EU and other structural funds). Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognised in the financial statements as used in parts according of the assets associated with this grant. In profit or loss, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation.

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 incomerelated 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.

2.16. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the provisions are reviewed at each date of the statement of financial positions and adjusted in order to present the most reasonable current estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is equal to the expenses, which are expected to be incurred to settle the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expenses.

2.17. Non-current employee benefits

According to the collective agreement, each employee leaving the retirement age is entitled to a onetime payment. Employee benefits are recognised in the statement of financial position and reflect the present value of future payments at the date of the statement of financial position. The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. Present value of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar maturity as the employee benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.

The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis in profit or loss immediately after the assessment of such liability. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of curtailment are recognised as incurred.

2.18. Income tax

Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the respective country's tax legislation.

In Lithuania in 2014 and 2013 income tax rate is 15%.

Tax losses can be carried for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. Such carrying forward if the Company changes its activities due to which these losses were incurred except when the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. From 2014 tax losses uilised shall not exceed 70 percent of the taxable profit of a taxable period according to Lithuanian laws.

The standard income tax rate in Ukraine in 2014 and 2013 was 18% and 19% respectively.

Tax losses in Ukraine can be carried forward for 10 consecutive years.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the statement of financial position.

Deferred tax assets have been recognised in the statement of financial position to the extent the Group's and Company's management believes they will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)

Accounting principles (cont'd) 2

Revenue recognition 2.19.

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when delivery has taken place and transfer of risks and rewards has been completed.

Revenue from services is recognized on accrual basis when services are rendered and are stated in profit or loss,

In Group's consolidated financial statements intercompany sales are eliminated.

2.20. Impairment of assets

Financial assets

Financial assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, whenever it is probable that the Group and the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, impairment or losses of bad debts are recognised in profit or loss. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognised is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be justified by an event occurring after the write-down. Such reversal is recorded in profit or loss. However, the increased carrying amount is only recognised to the extent it does not exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Other assets

Other assets, except for goodwill, deferred tax and inventories, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is accounted for in the same caption in profit or loss as the impairment loss.

The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm's length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less inevitable costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group and the Company are not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset's performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The value in use is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

2.21. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements requires the Group's and the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of estimation of these financial statements relate to the going concern assumptions, depreciation (Notes 2.7. and 14), amortisation (Notes 2.6. and 13), provisions, non-current employee benefits, evaluation of impairment for accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment (Notes 2.16, 2.17, 2.20, 14, 16, 17, 23 and 24), evaluation of deferred income tax asset recognition (Note 12). Future events may occur which may cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.

2 Accounting principles (cont'd)

2.22. 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 or economic benefits are probable.

Subsequent events 2.23.

Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Group's and the Company's position at the date of the statement of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

Offsetting and comparative figures 2.24.

When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when a certain International Financial Reporting Standard specifically requires such set-off.

2.25. Segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group and the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating results are reviewed regularly by management of the Group and the Company 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 management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

2.26. Earnings per share

The Group and the Company present 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 and the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

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

2.27. Fair value measurement

A number of the Group's and the Company'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 and the Company have access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group and the Company use market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised within different levels in a fair value hierarchy based 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 inous).

Accounting principles (cont'd) 2

Fair value measurement (cont'd) 2.27.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised within 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 and the Company recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

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

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2014 and 2013, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, consequently, the Group's and the Company's management considers that its maximum exposure is reflected by the amount of loans receivable from related parties, trade and other receivables, net of impairment allowance, and the amount of cash and cash equivalents recognised at the statement of financial position. Credit risk or risk that a counterparty will not fulfil its obligations, is controlled by credit terms and monitoring procedures, using services of external credit insurance and debt recovery agencies.

As at 31 December, the credit risk was related to:

As at 31 December 2014 and 2013 the main part of the loans granted consists of the loan granted to related company OOO Polair. This company is the largest and a well-known producer and seller of refrigerating equipment in Russia.

In 2014, Russia's economic situation worsened as a result of geopolitical tensions, imposed sanctions and drop of global energy commodity prices. This country faced decreasing investments accompanied by the slowing growth of consumption. The national currency of Russia, the rouble, faced significant devaluation, and international credit rating agencies have recently decreased the country's credit rating. Further developments of geopolitical situation and energy commodity prices are difficult to predict; however, this might further adversely affect Russia's economy and accordingly increase non-settlement risk related to receivables from Russian companies,

In 2014, 13% and 13% of the Group's and the Company's sales were to Ukraine (in 2013, 33% and 34% sales respectively). The Group's and the Company's receivables after impairment allowance from goods sold in Ukraine as at 31 December 2014 amounted to LTL 1,934 thousand (31 December 2013: LTL 9,130 thousand).

Ukraine's political and economic situation has deteriorated significantly since the Government's decision not to sign the Association Agreement and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the European Union in late November 2013. Political and social unrest combined with rising regional tensions has deepened the ongoing economic crisis and has resulted in a widening of the state budget deficit and a depletion of the National Bank of Ukraine's foreign currency reserves and, as a result, a further downgrading of the Ukrainian sovereign debt credit ratings. In February 2014, following the devaluation of the National Bank of Ukraine introduced certain administrative restrictions on currency conversion transactions and also announced a transition to a floating foreign exchange rate regime. The final resolution and the effects of the political and economic crisis are difficult to predict but may have further severe effects on the Ukrainian economy.

A continuation of the current unstable business environment negatively affected the Group's and the Company's results and financial position. As at 31 December 2014, having assessed the risks, the Group and the Company recognized impairment allowance of LTL 2,922 thousand for receivables from goods sold in Ukraine (as at 31 December 2013, no impairment allowance was recognized).

The Group's and the Company's management believes that the maximum risk equals to trade receivables, less recognised impairment losses at the reporting date. The Group and the Company do not provide guarantees for obligations of other parties, except for those disclosed in Note 30.

The credit policy is implemented by the Group and credit risk is constantly controlled. Credit risk assessment is applied to all clients willing to get a payment deferral.

Trade receivables from the Group in the amount of LTL 11,377 thousand as at 31 December 2014 (LTL 11,041 thousand as at 31 December 2013) were insured with credit insurance by Atradius Sweden Kreditförsäkring Lithuanian branch. Trade receivables from Ukraine, Moldova, Russia and other CIS countries were not insured.

30 Commitments and contingencies (cont'd)

The Company has entered into suretyship agreements with OAO Petrokomerc Bank; based on the agreements, the Company assumes joint and several liability for the loans of OAO Polair amounting to LTL 40,874 thousand as at 31 December 2014 (31 December 2013: LTL 69,307 thousand). The loan maturity is 20 October 2017, LTL 1,809 thousand shall be repaid during 2015. Based on the terms of the loan agreements, OAO Polair has to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. For the non-compliance with the mentioned covenants the bank has a right to apply the contractual sanctions (increase in loan interest rate) or may require loan repayment before the set maturities. Based on the preliminary unaudited financial information, as at 31 December 2014 OAO Polair did not comply with the financial covenants. As at the date of these financial statements, OAO Petrokomerc Bank has not exercised the mentioned right and did not require early loan repayment. Should the bank exercise this right and if OAO Polair were unable to fulfil the mentioned liability, the bank, based on the suretyship agreements, could require that the Company fulfil the liability of OAO Polair jointly and severally. In such case, the Company would be obliged to fulfil its liabilities under the suretyship agreements within 4 calendar days. As at the financial statements, no notifications were received from the bank regarding failure of OAO Polair to fulfil the liabilities under the loan agreements; therefore, no provision for potential liabilities under the suretyship agreements was formed in the financial statements of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2014. Should the Company become obliged to fulfil its liabilities as to the above mentioned suretyship agreements, this could cause significant uncertainty regarding the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As at the date of these financial statements, the Group and the Company had insufficient information to assess whether OAO Polair is in compliance with ban covenants to be met with regard to the above mentioned ban agreement and whether any doubts exist on the ability of OAO Polair to fulfil loan obligations to OAO Petrokomerc Bank in 2015.

In 2013 the Company had a heating power purchase agreement, the Company is obliged, for the 10-year period, to purchase 6,000 Kwh of heating power each year. If the Company fails to purchase the agreed quantity of power or in case of agreement termination, the fine from LTL 2,000 thousand in the first year of the agreement to LTL 200 thousand in the tenth year of the agreement shall be imposed.

The tax authorities may at any time perform investigation of the Company's accounting registers and records for the period of five years preceding the accounting tax period, as well as calculate additional taxes and peralties, Management of the Company is not aware of any circumstances which would cause calculation of additional significant tax liabilities.

SNAIGE

Managing Director Review

Dear all,

AB Snaige and many other Lithuanian companies will probably remember the year 2014 as the year affected by a geopolitical situation. The situation resulted in the markets within war or embargo zones, and lost income due to the devaluation of local currencies. After such year, businesses are usually happy to minimize their losses instead of gaining larger profits. Those who could turn their activities towards another direction, reorganize and bravely make new and unconventional decisions, were the winners in the game.

I am very glad that AB Snaige is one of these companies.

Irrespective of the loss of Ukraine as one of our largest and most profitable markets, we mostly managed to compensate for the loss with our achievements in other countries. Except for the sales of our Company grew by 18%.

I am proud of my team's ability to react promptly to the changing circumstances and to reorient our Company towards more beneficial directions.

The efforts of AB Snaige to maintain stability in sales by selling more in other markets were fruitful. Compared to the previous year, the Company's sales in France grew by 39%, in Poland by 31% and in Germany by 14%.

The sales of AB Snaige also increased considerably in Lithuania (up by 46% compared to the previous year). I am glad that Snaige refrigerators are marketable not only in France, Germany, Portugal and other European countries but also in the Lithuanian market. Today, Snaige is the second best-selling refrigerator brand in Lithuania. Some of our products are real best-sellers, maintaining top positions in the list of best-selling refrigerators for months.

AB Snaige introduced several new products last year: the most economical Class A++ refrigerator with extremely low power consumption, a new and larger freezer, and a higher power-saving class of refrigerator with a frost-free refrigerating system "No Frost". The latter product was awarded with a gold medal as a Lithuanian Product of the Year.

According to the audited consolidated data of 2014, AB Snaige reached LTL 4.3 million EBITDA. This is 3 times more than in 2013. The Company's consolidated turnover exceeded LTL 145 million and was 16% lower if compared to the previous year.

Based on the audited consolidated data, AB Snaige incurred a loss of LTL 2.6 million, i.e. 4 times lower than in the previous year. The loss was incurred as a result of provisions formed for potential write-offs of debts of some customers in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. The situation in their country forced them activities.

The year 2015 is not expected to be fasier. The effects of political instability and currency exchange rates fluctuation will continue to affect our results. However, I am sure that we will manage to overcome all challenges, achieve our goals and continue pleasing our customers with new products.

Managing Director of AB Snaige, Gediminas Ceika

4.8 Risk factors related to the business of the Issuer

Macroeconomic Risk. With the growth of the Lithuanian economy, further growth of private consumption and domestic demand is expected in 2015, which will be mainly influenced by the decreasing political uncertainties, increasing trust in the state and growth of real disposable income. The shift of export markets to the West as a result of the crisis in Ukraine occurred already in 2014; therefore, the external demand will be driven by recovering Western economy. Upside risk is associated with global commodity prices: fluctuations are expected that would mostly affect the nutside prices in Lithuania (food, fuel and administration prices). At present both Lithuanian and global markets feel the effects of the economic and consumption recuperation, which could affect the demand for the Company's products and the Company's business prospects. Foreign currency exchange risk is minimized by balancing purchases and sales in different currencies (mainly EUR and USD).

Credit Market Risk. Currently there is more activity and better credit availability on both Lithuanian and global markets. Internal financial resources of the Company are limited, operations rely on external credit financing, too. In light of the global credit market recovery, it can be presumed that this recovery will have a positive impact on the Company's financial situation, the Company will have possibility to take short and long term credits for its operations.

The Company's Financial Accounting Accuracy Risk. On 13 April 2015 the Company's auditor expressed a qualified audit opinion on the Company's separate and consolidated financial statements.

International Trade Restrictions Risk. The Company exports a portion to third countries (outside the European Union). There is a risk that changes in foreign trade policies of third countries could aggravate export conditions to those countries. Any such change would negatively impact export opportunities for the Company and its financial situation. In 2014 the Company, to compensate for decreasing sales in Ukraine, successfully increased sales in the West, the Baltic and the Central Asian markets.

Market Risk. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of a variety of commercial and household refrigerators and freezers and their sale. Investors assume the risk that the Company may suffer losses aggravating financial situation of the Company in the event of negative changes in product markets of raw materials needed in production processes.

Policy Risk. The Company is engaged in manufacturing activities which generate chemical substances harmful to the environment. Environmental matters both at Lithuanian and European Union levels are policy-regulated. There is a risk that in the event of changes in existing environments and restrictions the Company might need additional investments to ensure compliance of production processes with new requirements. However, such investments should not negatively affect the financial situation of the Company.

5.3.1 Recent publicly disclosed information

2015-02-27

AB Snaige EBITDA grew 11 times and the loss decreased by 4 times in 2014

Based upon unaudited consolidated data, AB Snaige achieved an EBITDA of LTL 6.1 million (EUR 1.8 million) in 2014, which is 11 times more than in 2013.

The Company's unaudited consolidated turnover exceeded LTL 146 million (EUR 42.3 million), which is 17 per cent lower than last year.

This was mostly influenced by the developments in the Ukrainian market and general adverse situation in Russia and in its areas of influence.

Gediminas Čeika, the Managing Director of AB Snaige, assesses the 2014 results and activities positively, "Irrespective of the loss of Ukraine as one of our largest and most profitable markets, we mostly managed to compensate for the loss with our achievements in other countries", said G. Čeika. "Except for the downfall in Ukraine, the sales of our Company grew by 18%.

I am proud of my team's ability to react promptly to the changing circumstances and to reorient our Company towards more beneficial directions."

The efforts of AB Snaige to maintain stability in sales by selling more in other markets were fruitful. Compared to the previous year, the Company's sales in France grew by 39%, in Poland by 31% and in Germany by 14%.

The sales of AB Snaige also increased considerably in Lithuania (up by 46% compared to the previous year). "I am glad that Snaige refrigerators are marketable not only in France, Germany, Portugal and other European countries but also in the Lithuanian market", said Gediminas Čeika, "Today, Snaige is the second best-selling refrigerator brand in Lithuania. Some of our products are real best-sellers, maintaining top positions in the list of best-selling refrigerators for months."

AB Snaige introduced several new products last year: the most economical Class A+++ refrigerator with extremely low power consumption, a new and larger freezer, and a higher power-saving class of refrigerator with a frost-free refrigerating system "No Frost".

The latter product was awarded with a gold medal as a Lithuanian Product of the Year.

According to the unaudited consolidated data, AB Snaige incurred a loss of LTL 2.2 million (EUR 0.7 million) (which is 4 times lower comparing to the last year). The loss was incurred as a result of provisions for potential write-offs of debts of some customers in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. The situation in their country forced them to suspend their activities.

5.3.2. Important events at the Company's business

2014-11-28

AB Snaige remains profitable despite of recent events in Ukraine

AB Snaige achieved an unaudited consolidated EBITDA of LTL 6.2 million within nine months of the year 2014. The turnover of the Company exceeded LTL 115 million (according to unaudited financial results) and was 18% lower compared to the same period of the previous year.

According to Gediminas Čeika, the Managing Director of AB Snaige, the reduction was driven by decreased sales in the Ukrainian market. "Ukraine was one of the largest and most profitable markets for us," said Mr Ceika. "However, we largely managed to compensate for the lost sales in Ukraine in our other markets. Now the Ukrainian part of our sales is significantly reduced and no longer affects the steady development of the Company."

The efforts of AB Snaige to maintain stable sales volumes by selling more in other markets were fruitful: compared to the same period of the previous year, the Company's sales in France grew by 48%, in Poland – 62% and in Germany - 20%.

The Company also achieved excellent results in Lithuania where sales increased by 44% compared to the same period of the previous year. "I am glad that Snaige refrigerators are marketable not only in France, Germany, Portugal and other European countries but also in the Lithuanian market", says Mr. Čeika. "Today, Snaige is the second bestselling refrigerator brand in Lithuania. Some of our products are real best-sellers, maintaining top positions in the list of best-selling refrigerators for months."

During the first nine months, the Company introduced its newest products: the most economical Class A+++ refrigerator with extremely low power consumption, a new and larger freezer, and a higher power-saving class of refrigerator with a frost-free refrigerating system "No Frost".

Despite the decline in sales in the strategic market, AB Snaige remained profitable, and within nine months of this year consolidated unaudited profit amounted to LTL 1.26 million.

2014-08-29

AB Snaige remains profitable in the 1st half despite of recent events in Ukraine

AB Snaige achieved an EBITDA of LTL 3.3 million in the first half of 2014 despite the fact that turnover was LTL 74.4 million (according to unaudited financial results) caused by the dramatic events in Ukraine. This is a decrease in sales of 18% compared to the same period of the previous year.

According to Gediminas Čeika, the Managing Director of AB Snaige, the result was driven by decreased sales in the Ukrainian market. "Ukraine is one of the largest and most profitable markets for us," said Mr Čeika. "We were only partially able to compensate for the lost sales in Ukraine in our other markets."

The Company's efforts to maintain stable sales via increases in other markets were very effective with sales increasing by almost 3 times in Portugal, sales up by 71% in Central Asia, in Poland by 52%, and in Germany by 6% compared to the same period of the previous year. Mr Čeika was particularly pleased by growth in the Lithuanian market. "During the first half of the year AB Snaige sales grew by 74% compared with the same period of the previous year," stated Mr Ceika. "I am very glad that Lithuanians choose Lithuanian refrigerators more often."

In the first half of the year the Company also introduced its newest product, the A+++ energy class refrigerator that is the most economical class of refrigerator consuming very little electricity.

Despite the decline in sales in the strategic market, AB Snaige remained profitable, and in the 1st half of this year consolidated unaudited profit amounted to LTL 24 thousand.

2014-05-30

AB Snaige sales grew by 18% in the first quarter with EBITDA's increase by nine times

AB Snaige turnover reached LTL 33.6 million in the first quarter of this year, according to unaudited data; which is 18% higher than the turnover of the same period last year.

According to Mr Čeika, the Managing Director of AB Snaige, the Company managed to maintain sales growth despite a significant decline in exports to Ukraine is very important for us because it is one of our major markets, and a decrease in sales in this country could be damaging so I am very happy that the we have been able not only to make up the loss suffered in the first quarter in Ukraine by developing sales in other markets but have also experienced steady growth," said Mr Čeika. "For many years, we have worked with more than 30 countries, and we are used to balancing the risky, profitable eastern markets and the stable but less profitable western markets. This strategy has worked very well so far, as can be perfectly demonstrated by the Company's performance results for the first quarter".

As a result, in Q1 the Company sold substantially more of its products to France (136% more), Germany (40% more), and the Central Asian countries (51%), compared with the same period last year. A large part of AB Snaige sales portfolio (13%) was devoted to Poland, where the Company sells its products to Amica, a large manufacturer of home appliances. Significantly, by almost four times, the Company's sales also grew in Lithuania. Although it is a small market, the growth is very rewarding that the local manufacturer's products, which are sold worldwide, are also appreciated in its home country.

The unconsolidated unaudited EBITDA during the 1st quarter reached LTL 1.1 million, which is nine than during the same period last year.

AB Snaige 2013 Strong Results are adjusted by Sales of Russian Subsidiary's Real Estate

According to unaudited consolidated data, AB Snaige achieved a turnover of LTL 176 million in 2013 (i.e. 18% more r the same period of the year 2012). Unaudited consolidated loss before tax of the Company in 2013 reached LTL (8.6) million. However, unaudited consolidated EBITDA for core activities reached LTL 14 million which was 22% ahead of the same period of the year 2012.

This negative result is caused by losses related to sales of real estate belonging to the Company's subsidiary Techprominvest. According to AB Snaige CEO Gediminas Čeika, these are losses unrelated to the core activities of the Company. "Unaudited consolidated profit exceeded LTL 5.5 million which is 5 times more than the same period of the orevious year." - says G. Čeika. "We are satisfied that this loss was the last one associated with Techorominvest. Having not operated the plant for several years meant unnecessary expenses for its maintenance and that now the Company will use its resources in more effective way."

Chibetantial 18% turnover growth was achieved due to the Company's successful exports. The most remarkable gowth the Company achieved in Poland (+12 times), Central Asia (+156%), France (+104%), Baltic countries (+99%), Bulgaria (+29%) vs. the same period of the year 2012. The main markets for the Company remained the same: Ukraine, Central Asia, France and Germany. According to Gediminas Čeika, CEO of Snaige AB those countries reflect the structure of the entire sales portfolio of the Snaige Company, i.e., balancing between risky and profitable East, and less profilable, but stable west. Such portfolio diversification allows the Company to compensate sales if some difficulties occur in certain markets.

In Lithuania this year was particularly good for the Company. Successful marketing and sales strategies improved the Company's turnover by 78%. Snaige refrigerators are among the best-selling refrigerators in the country.

According to the CEO of the Company Gediminas Čeika, one of the most important reasons for growth of sales is r constant and diligent improvement of technologies and creation of new products. "In 2013 AB Snaige was recognized as the Innovative Enterprise of Lithuania and awarded the Prize for Innovation," – says G. Čeika. "This award is given to companies which have introduced new products, significantly improved the existing ones, or significantly improved to companiou which have navithin the span of 3 years. AB Snaige has met all of the criteria: in the last three years the Company has created and brought to the market 8 completely new products and 14 modifications of existing products.'

In 2013 alone the Company introduced consumers to a refrigerator and freezer combination with glass surface doors, RF34NF refrigerator with frost free cooling system, highly energy efficient refrigerator of the A+++ class as well as new 163 cm high freezer.

roo onling to Gediminas Čeika, AB Snaige faces a difficult year in 2014. Because of the events in Ukraine sales in this rountry, one of the most important markets for the Company, are expected to decline. "We are not dramatizing the situation for now and hope to be able to balance our sales portfolio by increasing product sales in other countries," says G. Ceika.

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.
Yes The collegial management body - the board
is elected by shareholders.
Upon the decision of the shareholders since
May 2006 the Supervisory Board is not
formed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Board of the Company is responsible for
the formation of the Company's operational
strategy, organization of the enforcement
thereof, the representation and the protection
of the shareholder's interest.

supervisory body, i.e. the supervisory board. In such
a case, the supervisory board is responsible for the
effective monitoring of the functions performed by
the company's chief executive officer.
NO The Board is formed in the Company (upon
the shareholders' decision of May 2006).
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

not contradict the essence and purpose of this
body.1

extent they do not contradict the essence and
the purpose of the Board.

bodies should comprise such number of board
(executive directors) and supervisory (non-executive

supervisory board should be appointed for specified
terms subject to individual re-election, at maximum
intervals provided for in the Lithuanian legislation

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.
NOT
APPLICABLE
Upon the decision of the shareholders since
May 2006 the Supervisory Board is not
formed.

1Provisions 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 oversight 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 4.4 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.

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.

Principle III: The order of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders' meeting

The order of the formation a collegial body 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

body to be elected by a general shareholders'
meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as
the 'collegial body') should ensure objective and fair

members have the opportunity to decide
about the candidates competence and
suitability to represent shareholders interests.
In the Company's annual report the
competency (education, work experience,
work positions) of board chairman and the
composition of the board is published.

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.

3.4. 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 Company's board and Audit Committee
members have sufficiency of experience and
skills, sufficiency of knowledge to perform
their duties appropriately. Shareholders
decision to elect them as the board of
directors or audit committee members is
made after their readiness and competence
is evaluated.
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.
I YES The Company makes opportunity for the
Company's Board members to take a look to
the Company's activity, thus newly elected
members of the Board is provided a
sufficiency of knowledge and information.
Board members' skills and knowledge are
constantly updated while they perform their
functions, during Board meetings or
individually.
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 sufficient4 number of independent5
members.
NO Until now the independence of the Members
of the Board has not been assessed, and the
contents of the concept of "adequacy" of the
independent members of the Board have not
been discussed. The Company has not taken
any decision concerning the implementation
of these provisions in the future.

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 institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent on indoper the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number montant members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

5 It is notable 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 helshe meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

cases when member of the collegial body is likely to
become dependent are impossible to list, moreover,
relationships and circumstances associated with the
determination of independence may vary amongst
companies and the best practices of solving this
problem are yet to evolve in the course of time,
assessment of independence of a member of the
collegial body should be based on the contents of
the relationship and circumstances rather than their
form. The key criteria for identifying whether a
member of the collegial body can be considered to
be independent are the following:
1) He/she is not an executive director or
member of the board (if a collegial body
elected by the general shareholders'
meeting is the supervisory board) of the
company or any associated company and
has not been such during the last five
years;
2) He/she is not an employee of the company or
some any company and has not been such
during the last three years, except for
cases when a member of the collegial body
does not belong to the senior management
and was elected to the collegial body as a
representative of the employees;
3) He/she is not receiving or has been not

payments for the previous office in the
company (provided that such payment is
no way related with later position) as per
pension plans (inclusive of deferred
compensations);
4) He/she is not a controlling shareholder or
representative of such shareholder (control
as defined in the Council Directive
83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);

SHAIGE

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, counselling and consulting services),
major client or organization receiving
significant payments from the company or
its group;
6) He/she is not and has not been, during the
last three years, partner or employee of the
current or former external audit company of
the company or associated company;
7) He/she is not an executive director or
member of the board in some other
company where executive director of the
company or member of the board (if a
collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting is the supervisory
board) is non-executive director or member
of the supervisory board, he/she may not
also have any other material relationships
with executive directors of the company
that arise from their participation in
activities of other companies or bodies;
8) He/she has not been in the position of a
member of the collegial body for over than
12 years;
9) He/she is not a close relative to an executive
director or member of the board (if a
collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting is the supervisory
board) or to any person listed in above
items 1 to 8. Close relative is considered to
be a spouse (common-law spouse),
children and parents.
3.8. The determination of what constitutes
independence is fundamentally an issue for the
collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body
may decide that, despite a particular member meets
all the criteria of independence laid down in this
Code, he cannot be considered independent due to
special personal or company-related circumstances.
NO The Board has not defined the concept of
independence.
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 Such practice does not exist.

3.10. When one or more criteria of independence
set out in this Code has not been met throughout the
year, the company should disclose its reasons for
considering a particular member of the collegial
body to be independent. To ensure accuracy of the
information disclosed in relation with the
independence of the members of the collegial body,
the company should require independent members
to have their independence periodically re-
confirmed.
NO Such practice does not exist.
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.
NOT
APPLICABLE
The remuneration to members of collegial
body was approved by shareholders during
ordinary meeting in 2012, but such practice
has not been applied yet.

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

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

4.1. The collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in this Principle
referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure
integrity and transparency of the company's financial
statements and the control system. The collegial
body should issue recommendations to the
company's management bodies and monitor and
control the company's management performance.8
YES These functions are performed by the Board
elected by the general meeting of
shareholders. The Board shall approve and
general meeting
of
submit
to the
shareholders the annual report on the
activities of the Company, financial
statements, evaluate the results of the
business activities of the Company and
assess the performance of the Manager of
the Company.
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 In performing their duties the members of the
Board are guided by the interests of the
Company and act for the benefit of
Shareholders.

6 It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board of 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 Guistics, 2000, no 120 001 product by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by the 50 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 formal has increasing has incr computy of emunerate members of the supervisory board or their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either.

7 See Footnote 3.

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

4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time and
attention to perform his duties as a member of the
collegial body. Each member of the collegial body
should limit other professional obligations of his (in
particular any directorships held in other companies)
in such a manner they do not interfere with proper
performance of duties of a member of the collegial
body. In the event a member of the collegial body
should be present in less than a half of the meetings
of the collegial body throughout the financial year of
the company, shareholders of the company should
be notified.
YES Members of the Board act in accordance with
the Rules of Procedure of the Board and
allocate sufficient time for the performance of
their duties.
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 There haven't been any cases of the conflict
of interests between the shareholders and
the Board. The Board seeks to act fairly.
The Company has put in place the procedure
of the provision of information to the
shareholders in accordance with the Law on
Companies, and this has been provided in
the Articles of Association of the Company.
4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except Yes
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.

conclude and approve transactions according
to the legislative requirements of the
Republic of Lithuania and the Articles of
Association of the Company.
4.6. The collegial body should be independent in YES
passing decisions that are significant for the
company's operations and strategy. Taken
separately, the collegial body should be independent
of the company's management bodies10. Members of
the collegial body should act and pass decisions
without an outside influence from the persons who
have elected it. Companies should ensure that the
collegial body and its committees are provided with
sufficient administrative and financial resources to
discharge their duties, including the right to obtain,
in particular from employees of the company, all the
necessary information or to seek independent legal,
accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining
to the competence of the collegial body and its
committees. When using the services of a
consultant with a view to obtaining information on
market standards for remuneration systems, the
remuneration committee should ensure that the
consultant concerned does not at the same time
advice the human resources department, executive
directors or collegial management organs of the
company concerned.

Board is elected by the general meeting of
shareholders, in its decision making function
the Board is independent from the manager

management ensures that the collegial body

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 bo mornion about lailers than 2/3 or 3/4 of the meetings. Such measures, which ensure active participation in the meetings of the collegial body, are encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

go of the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, the recommendation concerning its independence from the company's management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the independence from the company's chief executive officer.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT 2014 SNAIGE
4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be
organized in a manner that independent members of
the collegial body could have major influence in
relevant areas where chances of occurrence of
conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be
considered as highly relevant are issues of
nomination of company's directors, determination of
directors' remuneration and control and assessment
of company's audit. Therefore when the mentioned
issues are attributable to the competence of the
collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial
body should establish nomination, remuneration,
and audit committees11. Companies should ensure
that the functions attributable to the nomination,
remuneration, and audit committees are carried out.
However they may decide to merge these functions
and set up less than three committees. In such case
a company should explain in detail reasons behind
the selection of alternative approach and how the
selected approach complies with the objectives set
forth for the three different committees. Should the
collegial body of the company comprise small
number of members, the functions assigned to the
three committees may be performed by the collegial
body itself, provided that it meets composition
requirements advocated for the committees and that
adequate information is provided in this respect. In
such case provisions of this Code relating to the
committees of the collegial body (in particular with
respect to their role, operation, and transparency)
should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body
as a whole.
YES The Audit Committee was elected in 2009.
The Company's directors nomination and
remuneration committees are not formed.
The functions pointed in this item still are
implemented by the Board within its
jurisdiction.
If the shareholders adopt the decision to
establish such committees or it is required by
the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, the
committees would be established.
4.8. The key objective of the committees is to YES
increase efficiency of the activities of the collegial
body by ensuring that decisions are based on due
consideration, and to help organize its work with a
view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free
of material conflicts of interest. Committees should
exercise independent judgement and integrity when
exercising its functions as well as present the
collegial body with recommendations concerning the
decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the
final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body.
The recommendation on creation of committees is
not intended, in principle, to constrict the
competence of the collegial body or to remove the
matters considered from the purview of the collegial
body itself, which remains fully responsible for the
decisions taken in its field of competence.
Company's collegiate
bodies are

decisions not influenced by any conflicts of

Committee shall be formed in each public interest entity (including, but not limited to public companies whose securities are traded in the regulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or any other member state ).

4.9. Committees established by the collegial body YES
should normally be composed of at least three
members. In companies with small number of
members of the collegial body, they could
exceptionally be composed of two members. Majority
of the members of each committee should be
constituted from independent members of the
collegial body. In cases when the company chooses
not to set up a supervisory board, remuneration and
audit committees should be entirely comprised of
non-executive directors. Chairmanship and
membership of the committees should be decided
with due regard to the need to ensure that committee
membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is

them and inform the collegial body on their activities
and performance on regular basis. Authority of every
committee stipulating the role and rights and duties
of the committee should be made public at least once
a year (as part of the information disclosed by the
company annually on its corporate governance
structures and practices). Companies should also
make public annually a statement by existing
committees on their composition, number of
meetings and attendance over the year, and their
main activities. Audit committee should confirm that it
is satisfied with the independence of the audit
process and describe briefly the actions it has taken
to reach this conclusion.
The practice of committees is being formed.
4.11. In order to ensure independence and
impartiality of the committees, members of the
collegial body that are not members of the committee
should commonly have a right to participate in the
meetings of the committee only if invited by the
committee. A committee may invite or demand
participation in the meeting of particular officers or
experts. Chairman of each of the committees should
have a possibility to maintain direct communication
with the shareholders. Events when such are to be
performed should be specified in the regulations for
committee activities.
