To the Shareholders of AB Snaige
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

In 2013, the Group sold subsidiaries OOO Liga Servis and OOO Techprominvest and liquidated the subsidiary OOO Moroz Trade. The results of discontinued operations are presented in Note 3.
As at 31 December 2014 the number of employees of the Group was 722 and the number of employees at the Company was 642 (as at 31 December 2013 - 746 and 666 respectively).
The Group's and the Company's management authorised these financial statements on 13 April 2015. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not approve them and require the management to prepare a new set of financial statements.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the Group's financial statements for 2014 are as follows:
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.
Except for the changes below, the Group and the Company have consistently applied the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to all periods presented in these consolidated and separate financial statements.
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 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.
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)
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).
The following amendments to standards with effective date of 1 January 2014 did not have any impact on these financial statements:
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.
The amendments are relevant only to defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties meeting certain criteria. Namely that they are:
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.
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.
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.
CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
None of these amendments are expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.
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.
IFRS 2 has been amended to clarify the definition of 'vesting condition' by separately defining 'performance condition' and 'service condition.'
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 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.
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.
IAS 16 and IAS 38 have been amended to clarify that, at the date of revaluation:
(all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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 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.
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.
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.
CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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:
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.
CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
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 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.
Amounts paid for licences are capitalised and amortised over their validity period.
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.
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,
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.
CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
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.
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 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.
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 (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.
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
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.
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.
(all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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, 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.
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.

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

The Group and the Company have exposure to the following risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Group's and the Company's exposure to each of these risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework, The Group's and Company's risk management policies are established to identify and malyse the risks faced by the Group and the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and control risks' and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's and the Company's activities. The Group aim to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
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 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.

The Group's liquidity (total current liabilities) and quick ((total current assets - inventory) / total current liabilities) ratios as at 31 December 2014 were 1.20 and 0.74 respectively (1.03 and 0.65 as at 31 December 2013 respectively). The Company's liquidity and quick ratios as at 31 December 2014 were 1.18 and 0.73 respectively (1.02 and 0.65 as at 31 December 2013, respectively).
The purpose of the Group's and the Company's liquidity risk management policy is to maintain the ratio between continuous financing and flexibility in using overdrafts, bank loans, bonds, and lease agreements.

The interest payments on variable interest rate loans in the table above are calculated based on the average market interest rates at the period end, and these amounts may change as market interest rates change.
As disclosed in Note 25, in January 2015 the Group and the Company reached an agreement with the bank on the amendments of the loan repayment schedule. Based on the revised repayment schedule, the Group and the Company shall repay LTL 2,935 thousand during 2015 (under original schedules, LTL 12,038 thousand had to be repaid in 2015). The information on the guarantees and sureties issued is disclosed in Note 30.
The Group's and the Company's borrowings are subject to variable interest rates related to EURIBOR.
As at 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Group and the Company did not use any financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group's and the Company's profit before tax to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's and the Company's equity, other than impact on the net result.

The Group and the Company manage share capital, share premium, legal reserves, foreign currency translation reserve and retained earnings as capital. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company comply with the externally imposed capital requirements and to maintain appropriate capital ratios in order to ensure their business and to maximise the shareholders' benefit.
The Group and the Company manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it in the light of changes in the economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and the clividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
A Company is obliged to keep its equity not lower than 50% of its share capital, as imposed by the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania. As at 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Group and the Company complied with this requirement.
The carrying amounts of the main Group's and the Company's financial assets and liabilities not stated at fair value, i.e. non-current and current receivable loans, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, non-current and current borrowings, approximate their fair values.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
UAB Vaidana and AB Šiaulių Bankas have signed a financial guarantee agreement, in accordance to which UAB Vaidana collateralized 4,584 thousand held shares of AB Snaige thus transferring the non-pecuniary right of the shareholders retaining the right to dividends.
By the suretyship agreement No 2012-02-12 the Company guarantees proper fulfilment of UAB Vaidana financial obligations with all its present and future assets in favour of UAB Šiaulių Bankas in relation to received loan of LTL 4 million with the repayment term postponed until 27 March 2017 (the initial repayment term was 27 March 2017), The fair value of the suretyship as at 31 December 2014 and 2013 was immaterial.
CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.

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

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.
Business Continuity Risk. Business continuity presumptions are disclosed in detail under Note 2.2 of the consolidated audited financial statements of 2014.
Operational Risk. This is the risk that includes both direct losses resulting from improper or inoperative internal processes, systems or technologies, actions by staff and agents, and external factors. Constituent part of the operational risk is legal risk, i.e. risk of losses potentially occurring as a result of the Company's present or past obligations under various contracts and agreements, legal actions or laws, non-performance or improper performance.
Technical and Technological Factors. This includes physical and moral depreciation of a variety of technical means. Risk factors of this type could affect operations of the Company both directly. Technological factors can affect the Company directly through physical and moral depreciation of technical base.
More detailed disclosures of the Company's risk management and interest rate, exchange rate, credit and liquidity risks can be found under Note 29 of the consolidated financial statements.
The Audit Committee supervises preparation of the consolidated financial statements, systems of internal control and financial risk management and how the Company follows legal acts that regulate preparation of consolidated financial statements.

"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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

The Board of the Company monitors and assesses the activity of Company and the Company's Manager by analysing the financial statement submitted by the Company's Manager, also the organization of the activities, data on the changes in equity. |
The corporate governance framework should ensure the strategic guidance of the effective oversight of the company's management bodies, an appropriate balance and distribution of functions between the company's bodies, protection of the shareholders' interests.
| 2.1. Besides obligatory bodies provided for in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania - a general shareholders' meeting and the chief executive officer, it is recommended that a company should set up both a collegial supervisory body and a collegial management body. The setting up of collegial bodies for supervision and management facilitates clear separation of management and supervisory functions in the company, accountability and control on the part of the chief executive officer, which, in its turn, facilitate a more efficient and transparent management process. |
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. |
|---|---|---|
| 2.3. Where a company chooses to form only one collegial body, it is recommended that it should be a supervisory body, i.e. the supervisory board. In such a case, the supervisory board is responsible for the effective monitoring of the functions performed by the company's chief executive officer. |
NO | The 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 IV should apply to the board as long as that does not contradict the essence and purpose of this body.1 |
YES | These principles apply to the Board to the extent they do not contradict the essence and the purpose of the Board. |
| 2.5. Company's management and supervisory bodies should comprise such number of board (executive directors) and supervisory (non-executive directors) board members that no individual or small group of individuals can dominate decision-making on the part of these bodies.2 |

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.
2 Definitions 'executive director' and 'non-executive director' are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.

The Chairman of the Company's Board is not 2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the | YES and never was the manager of the Company. general shareholders' meeting may be a person whose current or past office constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent and impartial supervision. Where a company should decide not to set up a supervisory board but rather the board, it is recommended that the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company should be a different person. Former company's chief executive officer should not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting. When a company chooses to departure from these recommendations, it should furnish information on the measures it has taken to ensure impartiality of the supervision.
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
| 3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure objective and fair monitoring of the company's management bodies as well as representation of minority shareholders. |
YES | The collegial management body - the Board is elected in the general meeting of shareholders according the laws of the Republic of Lithuania. Besides the candidates to the Members of the Board introduce themselves to the shareholders, providing information of the positions they hold in other companies and their professional qualifications. |
|---|---|---|
| 3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to become members of a collegial body, information about their education, qualification, professional background, positions taken and potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed early enough before the general shareholders' meeting so that the shareholders would have sufficient time to make an informed voting decision. All factors affecting the candidate's independence, the sample list of which is set out in Recommendation 3.7, should be also disclosed. The collegial body should also be informed on any subsequent changes in the provided information. The collegial body should, on yearly basis, collect data provided in this item on its members and disclose this in the company's annual report. |
YES | The Shareholders at a General Shareholders' Meeting (when Board members are elected) are introduced with work experience, education, the other important information of the candidates for the Board which company gets about Board members. |
| 3.3. Should a person be nominated for members of YES a collegial body, such nomination should be followed by the disclosure of information on candidate's particular competences relevant to his/her service on the collegial body. In order shareholders and investors are able to ascertain whether member's competence is further relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual report, disclose the information on its composition and particular competences of individual members which are relevant to their service on the collegial body. |
As candidates for the Board members introduce themselves for the shareholders, the shareholders while electing the board 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.

P
| Until now the independence of the Members 3.7. A member of the collegial body should be NO of the Board has not been assessed, and the considered to be independent only if he is free of contents of the concept of "adequacy" of the any business, family or other relationship with the independent members of the Board have not company, its controlling shareholder or the been discussed. The Company has not taken management of either, that creates a conflict of any decision concerning the implementation interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all of these provisions in the future. 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 significant additional receiving company or from the remuneration other than associated company remuneration for the office in the collegial remuneration additional Such body. includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations); 4) He/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1); |
||
|---|---|---|
| 5) He/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated 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.

| 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 |

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.

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. |
Since the collegial management body - the Board is elected by the general meeting of shareholders, in its decision making function the Board is independent from the manager Company. Company's The of the management ensures that the collegial body and its committees will be provided with sufficient resources to carry out their duties. |
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.

| 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. |

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 l he independent and make self-contained decisions not influenced by any conflicts of interest and remain fully responsible for decisions which are awarded in limits of their competence. |
