This Company's and consolidated Group's condensed interim financial information as of 31 March 2014 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim financial reporting').
This condensed interim financial information should be read together with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment loss, and available-for-sale financial assets which are carried at fair value.
These financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2014 are not audited.
The financial year of the Company and other Group companies coincides with the calendar year.
The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the preparation of this condensed interim financial information are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
There are no new standards, amendments and interpretations that are mandatory for the Company and the Group with effect from 2014, and that have a significant impact on the Company's and the Group's financial information.
The preparation of interim financial information in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs and contingencies. The main areas where accounting estimates were used are described below:
According to the IAS 36, the recoverable value of the asset is the higher from the fair value (less cost to sell) and the valuein-use. It is important to note, that there is no possibility to estimate the fair value for the vast majority of the Company's infrastructural asset units. According to the IAS 36, in such case, the recoverable value of the asset is estimated by calculating its value-in-use. The latter is calculated by discounting the future cash flows that would be generated by the asset. The price regulation mechanism for the Company's services that is legally determined by the Commission has a very huge influence for the assessment of the indicators of possible infrastructural assets impairment.
It is important to note that the reliable value-in-use may be calculated as long the regulation is stable and predictable. However, in recent years, the price cap calculation principles were changed frequently (until 2010, the price caps of transmission services were determined according to the value of the assets that is used in the service provider's operations and is set according to the service provider's financial statements; from 2010 the determination of the price caps for electricity transmission services is to include the value of assets used in licensed activities of the service provider, which is equal to the net book value (carrying amount) of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2002 as increased by the amount of capital expenditures implemented and agreed with the Commission and reduced by the depreciation amount calculated pursuant to the procedure stipulated in the Lithuanian Law on Corporate Income Tax. On 12 April 2012 the Commission initiated the development of LRAIC (Long Run Average Incremental Costs) method for the determination of the price caps of transmission services. This method shall be used for the determination of the price caps of transmission services from the beginning of the next regulatory period (2015).
It should be noted that determining the value-in-use of the assets is mostly influenced by the assumptions of transmission service tariffs in the future periods. In case the Company valued the assets assuming that the price cap determination process will remain the same, it is possible that estimated value-in-use of the assets might significantly differ from the carrying amount of the assets. The Company intends to perform value in use calculation and potential estimation of impairment of property, plant and equipment by the end of 2014, because currently too high uncertainties exist in respect of planned implementation of the new method (LRAIC).

Write-offs mainly represent derecognition of replaced part of asset upon its reconstruction.
During the unbundling process that took place in 2010, the Company took over property, plant and equipment from Lietuvos Energija AB. The fair value of property, plant and equipment, depending on the type of asset, of Lietuvos Energija AB as at 31 December 2008 was determined by independent valuers who used either method of comparative prices, or depreciated replacement value, or discounted cash flows methods to determine the fair value of the assets.
Lietuvos Energija AB revised the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment when preparing 2009 financial statements. Having assessed the fall in construction cost indices during the 11 months of 2009 of the relevant categories of assets as published by the Lithuanian Statistics Department, Lietuvos Energija AB reduced the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment. Lietuvos Energija AB applied a 12.27 per cent statistical index in respect of the category of buildings and a 9.68 per cent index in respect of other categories of property, plant and equipment that at 31 December 2008 were revalued based on the depreciated replacement cost method.
According to the Company's accounting policy, periodical revaluation must be performed at least once in a 5-year period. The Company intends to perform the revaluation of property, plant and equipment by the end of 2014, when more information in the regulating environment is available (Note 3.2).
As at 31 March 2014 and 31 December 2013, the Group/Company had significant contractual commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment to be fulfilled in later periods.

The Group/Company analyses operations by geographical areas and types of services provided.
The Group has distinguished the following 6 segments:
The electricity transmission segment is engaged in transmitting electricity over high voltage (330-110 kV) networks from producers to users or suppliers not in excess of the limit established in the contract. The main objective of these activities is to ensure a reliable, effective, high quality, transparent and safe electricity transmission to distributions networks, large network users from power stations and neighbouring energy systems.
Trade in balancing/regulating electricity is a service ensuring the balancing of electricity generation/import and demand/export levels.
Provision of system (capacity reserve) services. In order to ensure a reliable work of the system, the Company purchases from electricity producers the service of ensuring capacity reserve for power generation facilities, reaction power and voltage control, breakdown and disorder prevention and its liquidation and provides capacity reserve services to users. The capacity reserve is required in case of unexpected fall in electricity generation volumes or increase in electricity consumption.
The Company's/Group's services provided under PSO scheme comprise as follows:
Since 2013, the Company's subsidiary BALTPOOL UAB carries out the activities of PSO fund administrator, natural gas, additional security against the fluctuations in electricity prices in power exchange market and biofuel market operator (until 2013, these activities were carried out by the Company). BALTPOOL UAB earns revenue mainly for PSO fund administration.
Repair and maintenance services are carried out by the Company's subsidiary TETAS UAB. These services include reconstruction, repair and technical maintenance of medium voltage transformer substations and distribution stations.

* On 26 September 2013 the Commission has established the price cap for the transmission service via high voltage transmission networks for 2014. According to the decision of the Commission No. 03-139 of 25 September 2011 on Methodology for Setting the Price Cap of the Electricity Transmission Services (amended by the Commission's decision No. O3-255 of 21 September 2012), the calculation of Electricity transmission fee cap for the year 2014 included the consideration of amounts of extra profits earned for the years 2011-2012, including result from balancing/regulating electricity services activity. For the twelve-month period of the year 2013 balancing/regulating electricity services profit was LTL 4,561 thousand. Profit that was received in 2014 from balancing/regulating electricity services may reduce operating profit of the Group and the Company in year 2016.
*Income tax is not allocated between Company's operating segments and is attributed to electricity transmission activity.

Legal claim is filed by the Company against A. Blyskys, B. Černauskiene, A. Černauskas (hereinafter - the defendants) and SEB bankas AB, regarding the application of servitude in relation with construction and maintenance of 330 kV overhead transmission line Klaipėda-Telšiai. The defendants filed a counterclaim demanding the compensation for the application of servitude in the amount of LTL 700 thousand instead of the amount offered by the Company. The case was solved in the court of first instance in favour of the defendants, LTL 650,548 was awarded to the defendants from the Company. The Company has filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal of Lithuania. The sitting is planned on 15 July 2014. It is quite possible that the Court of Appeal of Lithuania will uphold the decision of the court of first instance which orders the Company to pay the awarded amount. In 2013 Company has made a provision of LTL 650,548 for possible loss under other payable caption and increased the respectively the value of the construction in progress.
The civil case initiated by the Company against Achema AB for the claim of debt and related interest amount. The Company has submitted a lawsuit against Achema AB for the collection of debt in the amount of LTL 2,271,108.65 and related interest in the amount of LTL 20,918.25 in accordance with Electricity transmission agreement (hereinafter - the Agreement) signed between the Company and Achema AB for the respective PSO for the period from April to June 2011. The investigation of this case was suspended by the decision of 14 June 2012 of Kaunas County Court until the completion of investigation of the civil case initiated by the claim of Achema AB against LITGRID requesting the recognition of the transaction as null and void and payment of restitution compensation. The later civil case of Achema AB is also suspended until final resolution of the administrative case at the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania (SACL) initiated on the 2 March 2011 by the claim (request) of the group of the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas) members regarding non-compliance of regulations of the Law on Electric Energy of the Republic of Lithuania. The latter case by the claim of the Seimas is also suspended since 30 January 2012 until the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania completes its investigation of the request submitted by 33 members of the Seimas on 14 June 2011 to investigate whether the Paragraph 41 of Article 2 of the Law on Electric Energy of the Republic of Lithuania is not in breach of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania. As at 31 March 2014, the outstanding overdue debt of Achema AB amounted to LTL 10,247 thousand. The outcome of the case will have no impact on the Company's or Group's net profit (loss) because the Company acts as an agent and PSO fees administered by it are recognised only under amounts receivable (payable) caption.
The administrative case was initiated on the basis of Achema AB claim for damages caused by illegitimate actions of the state institutions. Achema AB claims that state institutions acted illegitimately and beyond their competence when they adopted the Law on Electric Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, the provisions of which are in breach of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania and EU legal acts, and regulations that are in breach of legal acts bearing superior power. Achema AB claims that damages incurred by it as a result of allegedly illegitimate actions of state authorities amounted to LTL 3,127,402.11. on 7 December 2011 Vilnius County Administrative Court decided to suspend the investigation of this case until the SACL completes the investigation of the aforementioned case, which is until the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania completes its investigation of the request submitted by the members of the Seimas. The resolution of this case will not have an impact on the net profit (loss) of the Company because the Company acts as an agent and PSO fees administered by it are recognised only as amounts receivable(payable). The management does not believe that these litigations will have any negative impact on the Group's/Company's net profit (loss).

On 10 December 2013 LITGRID AB filed a claim with the Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration to recover a debt of LTL 7,754,569.26 under the Balancing Energy Purchase and Sale Agreement between LITGRID AB and Elektra Visiems UAB. The Court of Appeal of Lithuania decided 6 March 2014 to arrest assets Elektra Visiems UAB in amount of LTL 3,462,372.25. Vilnius District Court's sitting is planned in June 2014;
On 20 December 2013 LITGRID AB filed a claim with the Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration to recover a debt of LTL 14,348,302.54 under the Balancing Energy Purchase and Sale Agreement between LITGRID AB and Sky Energy Group UAB (currently Saurama UAB).

A civil case involving a claim of Energijos Kodas UAB to be awarded LTL 5,621,835 for the loss and the claims of a group of other independent energy suppliers to cover the alleged loss that resulted from the agreement between LITGRID AB and Latvian and Estonian electricity transmission system operators, which supposedly triggered a rise in wholesale electricity prices on the market. Energijos Kodas UAB and a group of other independent energy suppliers claimed that they sustained losses due to an illegitimate agreement (violating the right of competition) with Latvian and Estonian electricity transmission system operators. In the opinion of independent energy suppliers, this agreement restricted competition on the wholesale energy market and subsequently sparked a price rise on the wholesale electricity market. Energijos Kodas UAB and other independent energy suppliers paid the market price for electricity and sold electricity to final consumers at a fixed lower price despite the fact that wholesale electricity prices increased. Energijos Kodas UAB claims that due to this difference in electricity prices it incurred a loss of LTL 5,621,835, for which it seeks compensation. LITGRID AB contests the claim and its statements. Currently the Company is drafting a response to the claim. The independent energy suppliers that submitted claims to LITGRID AB indicated that they will seek an award for sustained losses in court. In its response to these claims LITGRID AB declares that it does not agree with the claims and statements contained in them about the allegedly sustained losses by the independent energy suppliers. According to the management of the Company, after assessing the current situation and facts, these claims are not justified, the requirements are not based on solid evidence and arguments and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the total amount of claims that may arise from this uncertainty. It is also confirmed by investigation performed by Commission. Therefore, no provision relating to this uncertainty were recorded in the financial statements.
Besides, on 6 March 2014 the Company received a detailed ABB AB claim regarding additional payment for the increased bypass reactor capacity in relation to the fulfilment of the agreement No SUT-40-13 of 15 February 2013 for the design and construction of Alytus high-voltage direct current insertion with 400kV switch-gear (the works are one of the Lit-Pol Link implementation stages). According to ABB AB, such increase in the bypass reactor capacity was not provided for in the agreement concluded; therefore, in accordance with the calculations of ABB AB, LITGRID AB should make an additional payment of LTL 3,005 thousand (EUR 870 thousand) for the works. In the opinion of LITGRID AB, the claim is groundless, the required capacity increase was within the scope of the agreement, and the contractor had to allow for that during the procurement procedures; thus, the Company will contest the claim of ABB AB; therefore, no provisions were accounted for in these financial statements in connection with this contingency.
Property, plant and equipment purchase commitments are disclosed in Note 4.
On 7 April 2014 the ordinary general shareholders meeting of the Company decided to pay dividends in the amount of LTL 112,818,930, paying LTL 0.2237 dividends per share.
