Independent auditor's report to the shareholders of AB Litgrid

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AB Litgrid, a public limited liability company registered in the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter "the Company"), and the consolidated financial statements of AB Litgrid and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Group"), which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes (comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information).

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as set forth by the International Federation of Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the rnal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

According to the Company's and the Group's accounting policy, property, plant and equipment should be carried at revaluated amounts (being their fair values as of the date of revaluation less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses) and are subject to an impairment test when impairment indications exist. As explained in Notes 3.27 and 5 to the stand alone and consolidated financial statements, to the legislation may have had a significant adverse impact on the fair value and recoverable amount of the Company's and the Group's assets. Since further significant changes are expected in regulatory environment in the nearest future, the Company's and the Group's management decided not to reassess fair values of the property, plant and equipment with the carrying amounts of LTL 1 972 million and LTL 1 974 million in the separate and in the consolidated statement of financial position, respectively as of 31 December 2013 (LTL

1 975 million and LTL 1 977 million, respectively, as of 31 December 2012) and not to carry out an impairment test. Consequently we are unable to determine if any adjustments are required to the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment reported in the stand alone and consolidated financial statements.

Qualified Opinion

Based on our audit, except for the possible effect of the matter discussed in section Basis for Qualified Opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2013, and their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Furthermore, we have read the accompanying consolidated Management Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2013 and have not noted any material inconsistencies between the financial information included in it and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

2. Basis of preparation

The Company's separate and the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.

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 financial assets which are carried at fair value.

The financial year of the Company and other Group companies coincides with the calendar year.

Accounting policies 3.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements, except for the section New standards, amendments and interpretations bellow, are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the prior year.

3.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations

During this reporting period the Group and the Company have adopted the following IFRS amendments:

  • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). This amendment changes the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or 'recycled') to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation only and has no impact on the Group's and the Company's financial position or performance. The Group and the Company have no significant OCI items.
  • · Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits. There are numerous amendments to IAS 19; they range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. These amendments had no effect on the Group's and the Company's financial statements, as the Group and the Company have no significant payment plans set.
  • Amendmet to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Offsetting Financial Liabilities The amendment introduces common disclosure requirements. These disclosures would provide users with information that is useful in evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's financial position. This amendment had no effect on the Group's and the Company's financial statements, as the Group and the Company have no offsetting agreements.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)

  • · IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The main reason of issuance of IFRS 13 is to reduce complexity and improve consistency in application when measuring fair value. It does not change when an entity is required to use fair value but, rather, provides guidance on how to measure fair value is required or pequired or permitted by IFRS. This amendment had no significant effect on the figures presented in the Group's and the Company's financial statements, but, based on its requirements, additional information was disclosed (see Note 3.28).
  • · IFRIC Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine. This interpretation only applies to stripping costs incurred in surface mining activity during the production phase of the mine ('production stripping costs'). This IFRIC will not have an impact on the consolidated and the Group's and the Company's financial statements as the Group and the Company are not engaged in mining activities.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The Group and the Company have not applied the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued as at the date of signing of these financial statements but are not yet effective:

IAS 19 Employee benefits (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, once endorsed by the EU)

These amendments indicate how employee contributions to the set payment plans should be accounted for. As the Group's and the Company's employees do not make such contributions, application of this amendment will have no effect on the Group's and the Company's financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

As a result of the new standards IFRS 10, IFRS 12 this standard was amended to contain accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements requires an entity preparing separate financial statements to account for those investments at cost or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Application of this amendment will have no effect on the Company's financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

As a result of the new standards IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 this standard was renamed and addresses the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. Application of this amendment will have no effect on the Group's and the Company's financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Liabilities (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

This amendment clarifies the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off" and also clarifies the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems (such as central clearing house systems) which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the impact of the impact of the of this amendment.

Amendment to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014, once endorsed by the EU)

This amendment adds a few additional disclosure requirements about the fair value measurement when the recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal and removes an unintended consequence of IFRS 13 to disclosures. The amendment will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and the Company, however may result in additional disclosures.

Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014, once endorsed by the EU)

The amendment provides relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The amendment will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and the Company, since the Group and the Company do not apply hedge accounting.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (currently no effective date, the standard is not yet endorsed by the EU)

IFRS 9 will eventually replace IAS 39. The IASB has issued the first two parts of the standard, establishing a new classification and measurement framework for financial assets and requirements on the accounting for financial liabilities. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities, including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgment to determine which entities are controlled and, therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent. Examples of significant judgment include evaluating de facto control, potential voting rights or whether a decision maker is acting as a principal or agent. IFRS 10 replaces the part of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements related to consolidated financial statements and replaces SIC 12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. The Group has not yet evaluated the impact of this amendment.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

IFRS 11 eliminates proportionate consolidation of jointly controlled entities. Under IFRS 11, jointly controlled entities, if classified as joint ventures (a newly defined term), must be accounted for using the equity method. Additionally, jointly controlled assets and operations under IFRS 11, and the accounting for those arrangements will generally be consistent with today's accounting. That is, the entity will continue to recognize its relative share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.

IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

IFRS 12 combines the disclosure requirements for an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements in associates and structured entities into one comprehensive disclosure standard. A number of new disclosures also will be required such as disclosing the judgments made to determine control over another entity. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these changes.

IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016, once endorsed by the EU)

This is an interim standard that permits an entity which is a first-time adopter of IFRS to continue to account, with some limited changes, for 'regulatory deferral account balances' until IASB completes a comprehensive accounting project for such assets and liabilities. Application of this standard will have no effect on the Group and the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 - Investment Entities (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014)

The amendments apply to entities that qualify as investment entities. The amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements of IFRS 10 by requiring investment entities to measure their subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The implementation of this amendment will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Improvements to IFRSs (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2014, once endorsed by the EU)

In December 2013 IASB issued a joint document for the amendments to following standards that are reguired but not urgent:

  • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS:
  • IFRS 2 Share-based Payment;
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations: .
  • IFRS 8 Operating Segments;
  • IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement;
  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment;
  • IAS 24 Related party Disclosures; .
  • IAS 38 Intangible Assets;
  • IAS 40 Investment Property.

Due to these amendments, there may be changes in the Company's accounting policies, but they will not have any effect on the Group's and the Company's financial position or performance.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.1 New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)

Interpretation of IFRIC 21 Levies (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2014, once endorsed by the EU)

This interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for a levy imposed by a government. A liability to pay a levy is accounted for in the financial statements when the company is engaged in operations subject to levies. The Group and the Company have not yet assessed the impact of the application of this interpretation.

The Group and the Company plan to start application of the above standards and their interpretations as of their effective date, once endorsed by the European Union.

3.2 Principles of consolidation

Subsidiary is an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Company. Control is the power the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include LITGRID AB and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared for the same reporting periods, using uniform accounting policies.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from which effective control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions among the Group companies are eliminated.

3.3 Business combinations between entities under common control and mergers involving entities under common control

Business combinations between entities under common control

IFRS 3, 'Business combinations' is not applied to business combinations between entities under common control, therefore such business combinations are accounted for using of interest method of accounting. The Group does not restate assets and liabilities to their fair value as at the acquisition date, instead the Group combines the acquired assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts. No goodwill arises and the excess of the carrying amount of net assets transferred over the consideration received or the carrying amount of net assets acquired is recorded directly in the acquiree's financial statements. Business combinations between entities under common control are accounted for prospectively from the date on which the business combination occurred.

Mergers involving entities under common control

Mergers are accounted for using of interest method of accounting. The merged assets and liabilities are not restated to their fair value; instead assets and liabilities are combined at their carrying amounts. The amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of entities merged are combined retrospectively, i.e. for all the periods presented in the financial statements.

3.4 Investments in subsidiaries in the Company's separate financial statements

In the parent company's statement of financial position investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment, where the investment's carrying amount in the parent's statements exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

3.5 Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities

An associate is an entity over which the Group/Company has significant influence but no control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control over those policies. Significant influence generally accompanies a shareholding of 20% of the voting rights. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control (the venturers).

In the consolidated financial statements associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates or jointly controlled entities are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the investee after the date of acquisition.

The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in profit (loss), and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of investment.

The Group's investment in associate and jointly controlled entity includes goodwill determined as at the date of acquisition.

Losses of an associate or jointly controlled entity in excess of the Group's interest in that associate/jointly controlled entity, including any other unsecured receivables, are not recognized, unless the Group had incurred legations or made payments on behalf of the associate/jointly controlled entity.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.5 Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities (continued)

Unrealized gain on transactions between the Group and associates and jointly controlled entities is eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associate or jointly controlled entity. Unrealized loss is also eliminated, unless it provides evidence of an impairment of assets transferred.

If the Group's ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

Gain or loss on decrease in the Group's ownership interest in an associate is recognized as profit or loss.

In the parent company's statement of financial position investments in associates and jointly controlled entities are stated at cost less impairment losses, where the investment's carrying amount in the parent's statement of financial position exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

3.6 Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Assets with the useful life over one year are classified as property, plant and equipment.

All property, plant and equipment is shown at revalued amounts, based on periodic (at least every 5 years) valuations performed by independent valuers, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at the date of revaluation are eliminated against gross carrying amount of the asset and net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the assets.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on the first revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to revaluation reserve directly in equity and decreases are recognized in the profit and loss account. Decreases in the carrying amount arising on the subsequent revaluation of property, plant and equipment are offset previous increases of the same asset, are charged against revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the profit and loss account. Revaluation increases in property, plant and equipment value that offset previous decreases are taken to the profit and loss account. All other increases in the carrying amount arising on subsequent revaluations of property, plant and equipment are credited to revaluation reserve. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings taking into account the effect of deferred income tax.

Construction in progress represents non-current fixed assets under construction. The cost of such assets includes design, construction works, plant and equipment being installed, and other directly attributable costs.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. Intangible assets are recognized only if they are expected to provide economic benefit to the Group and the Company in future periods and their cost can be measured reliably.

Subsequently, intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any (the Group/Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives).

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation (amortization) of property, plant and intangible assets, except land and construction in progress, is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the estimated useful lives, resident values and depreciation/amortization method are reviewed at each year-end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from these assets. The effect of changes if any, is accounted for on a prospective basis. Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are as follows:

Categories of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Useful lives (in years)

Plant and machinery, whereof:
- Constructions of transformer substations
30
- Structures, machinery and equipment, whereof:
- 330, 110, 35 kV electricity transmission lines
40 - 55
- 330, 110, 35, 6-10 kV electricity distribution equipment

3 - 10
- inventory, tools
4 - 10
Intangible assets
3 - 4

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.6 Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (continued)

Gain or loss on disposal of non-current assets is calculated as the difference between the proceeds from sale and the book value of the disposed asset and is recognized in the profit or loss.

Subsequent repair costs are included in the asset's carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized as expenses in the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

3.7 Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

At each reporting date, the Group and the Company review the carrying amounts of their property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there are any indications that those suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to their present value using the discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the inpairment loss is treated as a decrease of revaluation reserve.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase (without exceeding the amount of previous impairment).

3.8 Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans granted and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification of financial assets is determined at initial recognition.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date - the date on which the Group or the Company commits to purchase or sell the assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus, in the ase of investments not carried at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's/Group's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits, trade and other accounts receivable, and investments in securities.

The subsequent accounting for financial assets depends on their classification as follows.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any other categories. Such assets are recognized as non-current assets, except where the term of investment expires or management have an intention to sell it within 12 months after the date of preparation of the financial statements.

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When available-for-sale financial assets are disposed or impaired, the related accumulated fair value revaluation previously recognized directly in equity is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as profit or loss.

After initial recognition available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value based on available market prices or quotes of brokers closest to the financial statements where there is no active market, fair proacy is determined using valuation techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis. The result of revaluation of available-for-sale securities is recognized in revaluation reserve of financial assets, reported under equity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013 (All amounts in LTL thousands unless otherwise stated)

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.8 Financial assets (continued)

Held-to-maturity financial assets.

Financial assets with fixed or deterninable payments and fixed maturity, quoted in an active market, are classified as held-tomaturity when an entity has a positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After intial recognition, such financial assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method (except for current receivables when the recognition of interest income would be immaterial), less any recognized impairment, which reflects irrecoverable accounts. Gains and losses are recognized in the profit or loss when the loans and recrivale, are derecognized, impaired or amortized.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash at banks, demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments (up to 3 months original maturity) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances in bank accounts, deposits in current accounts and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.

Effective interest rate method

Effective interest rate method is used to calculate mortised cost of financial liabilities and allocate interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date the Group and the Company assess whether there is an indication that financial assets may be impaired. A financial asset is deemed to be impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets. Evidence of include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the problem they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. For ficancial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, estimated using the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is directly reduced by the amount of estimated impairment loss, except for trade receivables, for which impairment is recorded through allowance accounts receivable are written-off when they are assessed as uncollectible.

If; in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment. Ioss is reversed through the statement of profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the reversal date that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

Derecognition of financial assets

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

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • the Group/Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset is reconised to the extent of the Group's and the Company's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the arrying amount of the ances and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group and the Company could be required to repay.

Inventories are initially recorded at acquisition cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Acquisition cost of inventories includes acquisition price and related taxes, and costs associated with bringing inventory into their current condition. Cost is determind on the first-in , first-in , first-in , first-in , first-in , first-in , first-in , first-in , first-i realizable value is the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

3.10 Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair variue lees costs to sell.

3.11 Trade payables and other financial liabilities, borrowings

Financial liabilities, borrowings

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are recognized initially at fair value, less transaction costs.

After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method as disclosed in parage to the financial statements.

If a financing agreement concluded before the date of the statement of financial position proves that the liability was noncurrent as of the date of the statement of financial position, that financial liability is classified as non-current.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the liability is settled, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective amounts of financial liabilities is recognized in the statement of the profit or loss.

Trade pavables

Trade payables represent the commitments to pay for goods and services acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business.

Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the term of their settlement is no longer than one year; otherwise they are included in non-current liabilities.

3.12 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's and the Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

3.13 Foreign currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). In the consolidated financial storements , results of operations and financial position of each entity of the Group are presented in the litas, which is the functional currence of the Company and the presentation currency of the consolidated Group's financial information presented in Litas has been rounded to the nearest thousands, except when otherwise indicated. Some of the amounts in the tables may not coincide due to rounding.

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions as established by the Bank of Lithuania. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the exchange rate prevaling at the date of preparation of financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of the profit or loss of the reporting period.

With effect from 2 February 2002, Lithuanian litas has been pegged to the rate of 3.4528 litas to 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.14 Grants

Asset-related grants

Government and the European Union grants received in the form of property, plant and equipment or intended for the purchase of property, plant and equipment are considered as asset-related grants. Grants are initially recorded as liability at fair value of the asset received and subsequently recognized as income, reducing the depreciation charge of related asoet over the expected useful life of the asset.

Public service obligation (hereinafter "PSO") service fees allocated to the Company for the development and implementation of strategic plans are recognized as asset-related grants.

3.15 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group/Company has a legal obligation or irrevocable commitment 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 obligation. If the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is discounted using the effective pre-tax discount rate set based on the interest rates for the period and taking into account specific risks associated with the provision as appropriate. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance costs.

3.16 Employee benefits

(a) Social security contributions

The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local requirements. A defined contribution in a plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognized as expenses on an accrual included in payroll expenses.

(b) Bonus plans

The Company and the Group recognize a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

(c) Payments to employees of retirement age

Each employee of retirement age who terminates his/her employment with the Group and the Company upon retirement is entitled to receive a payment equal to 2 monthly salaries as stipulated in the Lithuanian laws. A liability for puch rayenente is recognized in the balance sheet and it reflects the present value of the date of the financial statements. It he aforementioned non-current liability for payments to employees at the financial statements is estimated with reference to actuary valuations using the projected relative unit method. The present value of the defined non-current liability for payments to employees is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the effective internet as set for government debentures denominated in a currency in which payments to employees are expected to be made and with maturity similar to that of the related liability.

3.17 Leases

Lease is recognized as financial lease, when all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased item are transferred to the lessee. Operating lease is the lease that cannot be classified as finance lease.

The Group and the Company as a lessor

Operating lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group and the Company as a lessee

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.18 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board that makes strategic decisions.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.19 Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that the economic benefits associated with a transaction will flow to the Group/Company and the amount of reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax and discounts. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Revenue from electricity transmission, capacity reserve services and trade in balancing/regulating electricity

Revenue from electricity transmission, capacity reserve services and trade in balancing/regulating electricity is recognized after services have been rendered or electricity has been sold, i.e. all risks and rewards associated with the transaction have been transferred to the buyer.

The Group does not recognize revenue and expenses from electricity trading in power exchange, administered by the subsidiary BALTPOOL UAB until 18 June 2012, with respect to those transactions in which it acts as an agent.

Tariffs regulation

Tariffs for the electricity transmission services are regulated by the National Control Commission for Prices and Energy (hereinafter "the Commission") by establishing the upper limit of the transmission service. Specific prices and tariffs for the transmission services are established by the service within the limits approved by the Commission.

Tariffs of electricity sold by the producers and independent suppliers as well as tariffs for capacity reserves are not regulated except the cases when the producer or supplier holds more than 25 per cent of the market. In latter case, the tariff setting is supervised by the Commission.

The Group purchases a capacity reserve service from electricity suppliers in accordance with capacity reserve agreements and subsequently renders this service to the distribution system operators and electricity consumers using a tariff established by the Commission. The Group recognizes gross revenue as it acts as a principal in the provision of these services.

Connection of new consumers and producers to electricity transmission network

From 2010 (applicable to assets received from customers on or after 1 July 2009) to the date of spir-off, Lietuvos Energija AB, later on the Company, recognizes fees received for connection of new consumers to the electricity network as income immediately upon the connection of a new consumer or provided the price for electricity payable in future by the newly connected consumer or producer for the services rendered /purchased by the Company/Group does not differ from that payable by other consumers or producers who had not paid such connection fees.

Before 1 July 2009, fees received by Lietuvos Energija AB for connection of new consumers and producers to the network were initially recognized as deferred income and subsequently recognized as income on a proportionate basis over the reams period during which the related costs of asset construction were recognized. The related costs comprising the acquisition cost of property, plant and equipment and other capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets capitalized.

Repair service income

Income under individual contracts/projects with customers, for instance for repair services, is recognized using the stage of completion method estimated based on project costs actually incurred in proportion to total estimated project costs. The probable change in profitability is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when such change is established. The projects are reviewed regularly and the provisions are established when it is determined that the project will result in a loss.

Other income

Interest income is recognized on accrual basis considering the outstanding balance of debt and the est rate. Interest received is recorded in the statement of cash flows from investing activities.

Gain from sale and lease of property, plant and equipment is recognized by the Group and the Company as other revenue.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividend payment is established.

Recognition of expense

Expenses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred by the accrual method.

Recognition of income and expenses from PSO services

Under the PSO scheme approved by Order No. 1-283 of 8 October 2010 of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania, the Company acts as an administrator of PSO service fees, i.e. only collects and disburses PSO service funds.

PSO service fund/ fees are the fees paid to the suppliers of electricity under the public service obligations scheme, with the list of such suppliers established by the Lithuanian Government or other institution authorized by it. The annual quantities of PSO service fees are established by the National Control Commission for Prices and Energy (the Commission). These fees are collected from electricity consumers, using the tariff for PSO services established by the Commission as a difference between PSO service fees collected and disbursed by the Company/Group during the previous calendar year.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.19 Revenue and expense recognition (continued)

The Company/Group recognizes as revenue from PSO services the following:

  • · PSO service fees allocated by the Company/Group for the connection of power generation facilities, using wind, biomass, solar energy or hydro energy in the process of power generation, to transmission networks, for optimization, development and/or reconstruction of transmission networks in relation to acceptance and transmission of electric power from producers using the renewable energy resources;
  • · PSO service fees allocated by the Commission for balancing electricity produced from the renewable energy resources;
  • · PSO service fees allocated by the Company/Group to cover administration costs of PSO service fees.

All other PSO service fees collected by the Company/Group are not recognized as income.

3.20 Accounting policy for PSO services fees when the Company/Group acts as an administrator of PSO service fees

In performing PSO-related activities the Company/Group acts only as an agent on behalf of the Commission/Government and these activities do not generate revenue/profit for the Company/Group in the normal course of business. A resolution has been passed by the Lithuanian Government which stipulates that the Company/Group acts only as an administrator/agent and the Company/Group and the Commission have separate systems to tracks these transactions.

Seeking to improve the accuracy of presentation of the Company's/Group's financial result and cash flows and to reflect the actual substance of PSO administration activities the Company/Group recognizes as revenue only the items described in Note 3.19 and recognizes the difference between collected and disbursed PSO service fees being administered as receivables(payables).

Given that the Company/Group acts only as an agent on behalf of the Commission/Government, revenues from the collection of tariffs from customers are netted against the disbursements to the electricity generators in the statement of comprehensive income. Only the amount of PSO service fees as approved by the Government in advance that is received for PSO services rendered and for PSO administration services is recognized as income by the Company/Group. A difference between PSO service fees received and disbursed in other accounts receivable/other accounts payable as "difference etween roo PSO service fees received and disbursed". Since 1 Januray 2013 the Company is no longer an administrator of PSO service fees (as described in note 1), receivables for PSO were reclassified from trade receivables to other accounts receivable, and payables for PSO were reclassified from trade payable. Receivables for electricity sold in the power exchange, where the Group acted as an agent, were reclassified from trade receivables to other accounts receivable, whereas payables for electricity purchased in the power exchange, where the group acted as an agent, were reclassified from trade payables to other accounts payable.

3.21 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the production, getting ready for use or sale of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to produce, get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the nost until the asset is ready for use or sale in full. Interest income on the temporary investment of borrowed funds until they will be used for the acquisition of the asset is deducted from the cost of the asset.

Other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the statement of come during the period when they are incurred.

3.22 Income tax

Income tax expense for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Income tax

Current tax charges are calculated on current profit before tax, as adjusted for certain non-deductible expenses/non-taxable income. Income tax is calculted using the tax rate effective as at the financial statements, Increado rate of 15% was used in 2013 and 2012.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is accounted for using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all temporary differences that will increase the taxable profit in future, whereas deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that in prohble to reduce the taxable proft in future. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting, nor become por fit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each date of the financial statements and if it is not probable that the Group and the Company will generate sufficient taxable profit to realize these assets, they are reduced to an amount which is likely to reduce the taxable profit in future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are estimated using the tax rather when a calculating income tax for the year when the related temporary differences are to be realized or settled.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.22 Income tax (continued)

Starting from 1 January 2014 the tax loss carry forward that is deductible cannot exceed 70% of the current financial year taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where they relate to income tax assessed by the same fiscal authority or where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities.

Current income tax and deferred income tax

Current income tax and deferred income tax are recognized as income or expenses and included in net profit or loss for the reporting period, except for the cases when tax arises from a transaction or event that is recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case taxes are also recorded in equity and other comprehensive income respectively.

3.23 Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit for the period attributed to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. When the number of shares changes and such change does not result in change of economic resources, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted in proportion to change in the number of shares as if that change had occurred in the beginning of the previous period.

The Company has no dilutive potential shares; therefore its basic earnings per share are the same as dilutive earnings per share.

3.24 Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognized 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 recognized in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of income or economic benefits is probable.

3.25 Subsequent events

Subsequent events that provide additional information on the Group's financial position at the date of the financial statements (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in notes to the financial statements, provided their effect is material.

3.26 Offsetting

For the purpose of the financial statements, assets and liabilities, income and expenses are not offset, except for the cases when such offsetting is specifically required by an individual standard.

3.27 Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International 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 when preparing these financial statements are described below:

Tax audits

The tax authorities may at any time inspect the books and records within 5 years subsequent to the reported tax year, and may impose additional tax assessments and penalties. The Company's and Group's management is not aware of any circumstances which may give rise to a potential material liability in this respect.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

According to the IAS 36, the recoverable value of the higher from the fair value (less cost to sell) and the value-inuse. 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.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.27 Critical accounting estimates (continued)

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 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 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).

Investment impairment

As the shares of the Company's subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are not publically traded, the management of the Company estimates the recoverable value of these investments considering the valuations prepared by the independent valuators, in case such valuations are prepared, discounted future cash flows based on the financial forecasts for several upcoming years and information on similar transactions indirectly available in the market.

The recoverable value of investment in Duomenų Logistikos Centras UAB amounting to LTL 15,581 thousand as of 31 December 2013 was estimated based on the independent valuator's report dated 27 February 2014. According to the management the fair value of the investment did not change significantly from 31 December of LTL 1,281 thousand was accounted for this investment as at 31 December 2013. 10.5 percent discount rate and 3.3 percent terminal growth rate assumptions were used.

To determine the recoverable value of investment in TETAS UAB the independent valuator's report dated 10 October 2012 was used and according to the management of the Company the fair value of this investment has not significantly changed and no impairment was recognized. Nevertheless, the valuation is sensitive to the assumptions used, and the most sensitive of which is forecasted EBITDA margin. The 10 percentage points change in EBITDA margin would result in LTL 3,000 thousand decrease in valuation results. The decrease of 10 percentage points in this assumption would result in impairment of LT, 1,000 thousand. The change in discount rate does not have significant influence for the valuation result.

The recoverable amounts of other investments were determined based on the information indirectly obtained in the market.

3.28 Fair value measurement

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 is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: in the asset or liability, or in the albseace of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • · Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • · Level 2 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
  • · Level 3 Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)

3.28 Fair value measurement (continued)

For assets and labilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group/ Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Valuations are performed by the Company's management at each reporting date. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Group/ Company did not have significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or not recurring basis in the financial statements, except for the available-for-sale financial assets (Notes 3.27 and 7) and property, plant and equipment (Notes 3.6 and 5). Assets and liabilities for which fair value is discosed in the financial statements comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables and borrowings. The management assessed that the fair value of the borrowings as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 are approximating their carrying value as they are subject to variable interest rates and that fair value of other mentioned assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments as at 31 December 2013 and 2012.

* 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 Electricty Transmission Services (amended by the Commission's decision No. 03-255 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 electricty services activity. For the twelve-month period of the year 2013 balancing/regulating electricity services profit was LTL 9,205 thousand. Profit that was received in 2013 from balancing/regulating electricity services may reduce operating profit of the Group and the Company in year 2015.

According to the Methodology for Setting the Price of the Electricity System Services, approved by decision No. 03-200 of 27 July 2012, while setting prices for the coming year of electricity system services the Commission is taking into consideration the difference between the planned and the actual costs and income from provision of the previous year. For the twelve months of 2013 this difference (profit) was equal to LTL 20,905 thousand. The profit received from the provision of system services in 2013 will decrease the operating profit of the Group and the Company in 2015.

** Income tax and financing-investment activities are not allocated between the Company's operating segments, i.e.

electrictly transmission, balancing/ regulating, provision of system services and PSO services, and are attributed to electricity transmission operations.

Market risk

a) Interest rate risk

The Group's and the Company's income, expenses and cash flows from operating are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group has non-current borrowings and the overdraft subject to interest rate which is linked with VILIBOR and EURIBOR. If interest rate would be shifted +/- 0.1%, the impact of interest rate of the Group's borrowings on profit before tax would be LTL 181 thousand as at 31 December 2013.

b) Foreign exchange risk

In order to manage the foreign exchange risk, the Group and the Company enter into purchase/sale contracts only in euros or litas. With effect from 2 February 2002, the litas has been pegged to the fixed exchange rate, therefore, there is no foreign exchange risk in substance.

32. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group's and the Company's principal financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value are trade receivables and other accounts receivable, time deposits, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, trade payables and other accounts payable and held to maturity investments.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

  • · The carrying amount of current trade and other accounts receivable, held-to-maturity financial assets, time deposits, cash and cash equivalents, current borrowings, current trade and other accounts payable approximates their fair value.
  • · The fair value of non-current borrowings is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available for borrowings with the same maturity profile. The fair value of non-current borrowings with variable interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.
  • The fair value of held to maturity investments is determined based on the estimated fair value of bonds in which the Company invested. The fair value determined is classified in the category of valuation models which are based on indirectly available in the market data (2 level).

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 electricity branciniss incomissions of the operators. In the opinion of independent energy suppliers, this agreement restricted competition on the wholesale enecy 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 to final consumers at a fixed lower price despite the fact that wholesale electricity prices increased. Energijos Kodas UAB claims that due to this due to this due 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 the opinion of LITGRID AB, the claim is groundless, the required capacity increase was within the scope of the agreement, and to allow for than 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.

Litgrid's operations

Litgrid, Lithuania's electricity transmission system operator (hereinafter referred to as the 'TSO'), maintains stable operation of the country's electricity system, manages electricity flows, and enables competition in the open electricity market. Litgrid is responsible for the integration of Lithuania's electricity system into Europe's electricity infrastructure and the common market for electricity. The Company is implementing the strategic NordBall (Lithuania - Sweden) and LitPol Link (Lithuania - Poland) power link projects. In seeking to enhance the country's energy independence, we foster a culture of responsibility, rational creativeness, and dialogue.

Litgrid's mission is to ensure the reliable electricity transmission and enable competition in the open electricity market.

Litgrid's vision is the total integration of Lithuania's electricity system into Europe's electricity infrastructure and the common market for electricity.

Litgrid's values are cooperation, respect, responsibility, professionalism, and initiative.

Litgrid's strategy is the responsibility to manage the country's electricity system

As the backbone of the Lithuanian electricity sector, Litgrid is not only responsible for the maintenance of the balance of the electricity consumed and produced in the reliable transmission of electricity but also implements strategic Lithuanian electricity projects, with its vision and strategic operating guidelines based on the long-term goals identified in the National Energy Independence Strategy. The Lithuanian TSO's most important operational areas and responsibilities are the maintenance of the country's electricty infrastructure and its integration with the Western and Northern European electricity infrastructure, development of the electricity market and participation of a common Baltic and European electricity market, and the integration of the Lithuanian and continental European electricity systems for synchronous operations.

Litgrid's operating plans and forecasts

Litgrid works actively and responsibly in the following key directions:

Integration of the country's electricity system into Europe

Once Lithuania becomes a full-fledged participant of the European electricity system, European system management standards will be introduced in the electricity sector, and electricity flow management based on market principles and participation in maintaining the system's frequency will be ensured. The desired result is the Baltic countries' synchronous operation in continental European grids.

A common European market for electricity

The integration of the Lithuanian electricity market into the Baltic and Nordic electricity market and, later, the common European electricity market will ensure transparent wholesale electricity prices, competition, and freedom of choice for all market participants as well as equitable trade in electricity with neighbouring European states. Being a part of a large electricity market will allow for the most effective use of networks and generation infrastructure and for ensuring electricity transmission security.

Integration of the transmission grid into Europe's electricity infrastructure

literid

Lithuania's electricity transmission grid is strong and well connected with the electricity transmission infrastructure of the neighbouring Eastern states; by the power links to be established with Sweden (NordBalt) and Poland (LitPol Link) by 2015, it will be connected to the electricity grids of Northern and Western Europe. The development of inter-system links will create opportunities to sell electricity between different energy systems, and optimal investment into the country's grid will ensure the integration of new electricity generators, the safe transmission of electricity, and the reliability of the system's operations.

A modern organization that rationally takes advantage of technological and management innovations

Litgrid is a pro-European project-oriented company whose operations are based on modern management principles and responsible operations. In implementing large-scale energy projects of strategic significance that are important to the entire country's economy, the company cultivates these essential competencies: system management and reliable electric transmission, maintaining the country's electricity balance, maintaining infrastructure, and project management. In planning the development of the transmission grid, electricity market, and energy system, Litgrid's peoplespecialists and managers of the highest competency-orient themselves toward innovations that further smart grid development, formulate technical transmission grid policies, cooperate with Lithuania's institutions of higher education, and participate in the activities of international organizations that are responsible for the planning of electricity infrastructure, markets, and the system.

In implementing strategic projects that help ensure the country's energy independence and working in a strict regulative environment, Litgrid makes every effort to rationally and effectively use existing financial resources and European Union support while contributing to increasing the country's economic compettiveness and improving consumer welfare. In 2007-2013, LTL 103 million of European Union funds were allocated to 18 electricity transmission grid investment projects carried out by Litgrid, the transmission system operator.

The most important activities of 2013 in implementing strategic projects and other electricity sector projects

In November 2013, reconstruction of the Alytus transformer substation's 330 kV switchyard began.

In December 2013, building permits were obtained for the Alytus HVDC back-to-back converter with a 400 kV switchyard.

The NordBalt inter-system power link project implementation activities

In 2013, more than a third of the NordBalt submarine cable was manufactured.

In March 2013, the Government of the Republic of Lithuania approved the laying of the NordBalt cable in a stretch of Lithuanian coastline and the exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea.

In March 2013, detailed design work for the direct current converter substation began.

In May 2013, the final building permit was obtained for the NordBalt power link. In total, four building permits were obtained during the first half of 2013: for the back-to-back converter substation in the Klaipeda District Municipality, cable construction in the Klaipeda District Municipality, Klaipeda city municipality, and the coastal stretch (Curonian Spit) along with the Republic of Lithuania's territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea.

In July-November 2013, preparatory work was conducted for the NordBalt power link cable in the territory of the municipality of Klaipeda and the Curonian Spit: temporary access roads were built, horizontal drilling work was performed, and cable tubes were put down.

In 2013, reconstruction of the Klaipeda transformer substation and the 330 KV Klaipeda-Telšiai electricity transmission line continued. During the year, more than two thirds of the electricity line was built.

Lithuanian electricity market development work

In January 2013, Litgrid began providing market participants with forecasts of the scope of electricity produced by wind turbines for trade on the electricity market. Based on this forecast, electricity sales offers are submitted in the Nord Pool Spot electricity exchange's Lithuanian trade zone.

On 10 December 2013, an additional mean of electricity trading began operating in the Lithuanian trade zone: the Elbas intraday market. Through it, trading electricity up to an hour before its delivery is possible. The intraday market allows market participants to more effectively manage risk in wholesale electricity trading and balance the trading of electricity produced from renewable resources.

The opening of the intraday market of the Nord Pool Spot exchange, which operates in all of the Baltic States, in Lithuania is a part of the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) initiated by the European Commission. Operating under identical principles, the common electricity market ensures transparent wholesale electricity prices and trading, the opportunity to buy cheaper electricity produced in other countries, and identical trading conditions for all market participants.

Project implementation work for integrating the Lithuanian electricity system into continental European electricity grids

In October 2013, a feasibility study was prepared on the Baltic States into the European Union's internal electricity market and the installation of possible connections. The study's authors examined technical, legal, and socioeconomic aspects of connecting energy systems. The conducted tests make it possible to determine the technical requirements for the development of the continental European synchronous zone and the connection of energy systems. In seeking to connect the Baltic States' electricity systems with continental Europe's electricity grids for synchronous mode operations, the expected synchronization costs were calculated. The study concluded that connecting the electricity systems of the Baltic States and continental Europe for synchronous mode operations is a complex yet feasible-both in terms of technological and legal aspects-project.

Other important developments

In January 2013, Litgrid updated one of Vilnius' most important electrical junctions by renovating the 110 kV Viršuliškės transformer substation. The substation's renovation, which cost LTL 2.2 million, was completed in less than a year.

On 6 May 2013, Litgrid's updated website, www.litgrid.eu, was launched. It convently provides useful information about electric power, electricity transmission, electricity trading, and management of the entire electricity system. The web site publishes the main data and project work calendars for sites-new electricity lines and transformer substations-that are under construction. Various pages provide information about strategic projects such as the electricity links with Poland and Sweden, and a new section has been created for landowners about high voltage electricity transmission lines in Lithuania and their established safety zones. For the professional user of information about electricity, a special Lithuanian electricity system data monitoring platform has been created. Automatically updated system data graphics and tables provide information about how much electricity has been produced in Lithuania, how much has been consumed, how much electricity costs, how much is bought on the exchange, and price comparisons with earlier time periods.

In June 2013, Litgrid prepared the Lithuanian electricity system grid development plan through 2022 and submitted it to the National Commission for Energy Control and Prices. The plan, prepared annually, presents forecasts about electricity needs, power plant capacities, and the electricity market as well as information about the electricity transmission grid, its development plan, and planned investments.

In August 2013, the certification procedure for Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator, was successfully completed. The National Commission for Energy Control and Prices stated that the separation of Litgrid's transmission operations from electricity production and delivery companies under the Electricity Law has been suitably implemented and the company was designated a transmission system operator. Litgrid was issued a transmission operations license for an indefinite period.

In October 2013, Litgrid and the Police Department signed a cooperation agreement for close and constructive work in ensuring the security of strategically important electricity sites. The agreement provides for comprehensive cooperation in organizing preventative measures, introducing safety systems, exchanging information about the criminological situation, and assessing possible threats to energy sites in the case of extreme events.

In December 2013, reorganization of the Litgrid system's management was completed, a single electricity system management centre encompassing all of Lithuania was established in Vilnius, and the main working tool of the dispatchers working in the system management system-the video wall-was renovated.

Litgrid membership in international organizations

In May 2013, Litgrid became a member of the Central European Energy Partners (CEEP). CEEP's main objective is to support the integration of the energy sector of new European Union member states (Central and Eastern Europe) in the common EU energy and energy security policy context.

Litgrid is a member of ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity). The organization, established in 2008, unifies electricity transmission system operators from 34 European states. Litgrid actively participates in the association's activities in planning and implementing Lithuanian electricity infrastructure development projects and electricity market interconnection system integration system integration plans.

Services rendered by Litgrid Group of companies

Litgrid, the electricity transmission system operator, renders the following services:

  • Electricity transmission;
  • System services (capacity reserve);
  • Trading in balance and regulation electricity;
  • · Public service obligation services (hereinafter referred to as PSO);
  • · Maintenance and repairs of the electricity grid.

Electricity transmission

Electricity transmission services are the transmission of electricity over high voltage (330-110 kilovots, KV) equipment. The transmission system operator sends electricity from producers to consumers who are connected to the transmission grid and to distribution network operators. Electricity transmission is regulated.

The main objective of TSO operations is to manage the high voltage electricity transmission grid and ensure reliable, effective, high-quality, transparent, and safe electricity transmission.

Electricity demand in Lithuania remained similar in 2013 to previous years; last year a total of 9.6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity was consumed. Industrial and agricultural electricity demand grew slightly, while household consumers consumed almost two per cent less electricity than last year ..

A total of 4.4 TWh of electricity were produced in Lithuania in 2013. As much as 15 % of the electricity used in Lithuania last year was produced from renewable resources. Wind energy production increased by a tenth, while electricity produced by hydroelectric power plants grew by about 13 %. The scope of generated solar energy grew more than 20 times. A new type of electricity producer using renewable resources also emerged; a power plant in the Klaipeda Free Economic Zone that burns waste supplied 76 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the grid.

The production of Lithuanian power plants declined by 6 % in 2013, year-on-year. Some larger companies' power plants did not produce electricity for almost half a year. It is likely that the main reason for lower local generation is not only the warm end of the year but also high prices for imported fuel.

2013 Lithuanian national electricity production and consumption balance data

Final electricity consumption is electricity produced in Lithuania and imported into the country minus electricity exports, electricity needed to activate the Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant, and electricity necessary for electricity transmission and distribution grid technological needs.

System (capacity reserve) services

In order to maintain reliable system operations, Litgrid purchases electricity production equipment capacity reserve assurance, reactive capacity and voltage management, and accident and breakdown prevention and elimination services from energy producers and offers consumers system (capacity reserve) services. Capacity reserves are needed when electricity production suddenly and unexpectedly falls or its consumption increases.

Trading in balance and regulation electricity

Litgrid ensures the country's electricity production and consumption balance electricity that is consumed or produced outside of established electricity consumption schedules. Litgrid organizes trading in balance electricity and buys and sells balance electricity that is necessary to ensure the country's electricity production and consumption balance.

Regulation electricity is electricity bought and/or sold at the direction of the TSO that is necessary to perform the country's electricity consumption and production balancing function. Litgrid organizes trading in regulation electricity at auction. Those participating in the auction are regulation energy suppliers and other country's transmission system operators who have the technical means to quickly change electricity production and consumption modes and have signed corresponding contracts with Litgrid.

Public service obligation services

Public service obligations in the electricity sector are services that ensure and increase national energy security and the integration and usage of electricity produced from renewable resources. The list of public service obligations, their providers, and provisioning procedures are approved by the Republic of Lithuania or its authorized institution in accordance with public interests in the electricity sector. PSO funds are funds paid to PSO service providers.

Litgrid provides these PSO services:

  • Preparation and implementation of strategic projects related to increasing energy security (the Lithuania-Sweden and Lithuania–Poland international electricity links and integration of the Lithuanian electricity system into continental European grids);
  • · Connection of electricity production equipment that use wind, biomass, or solar energy or hydroelectric power to the transmission grid and transmission grid optimization, development, and/or renovation related to the reception and transmission of electricity producers who use renewable natural resources;
  • · Balancing of electricity produced using renewable energy resources.

By Resolution No. 1338 of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania of 7 November 2012, UAB Baltpool has been designated a PSO fund administrator effective 1 January 2013.

PSO provisioning procedures are established by the Public Service Obligation Procedure Description, ratified by Resolution No. 916 of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania of 18 July 2012. PSO fund administration procedures are established by the Public Service Obligation Procedure Description, ratified by Resolution No. 1157 of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania of 19 September 2012. The PSO provisioning description provides that public service obligation funds are collected and transferred to the public service obligation fund administrator under procedures and conditions established by the Public Service Obligation Fund Administration Procedure Description. As the transmission system operator, Litgrid collects PSO funds from grid users whose electricity production and/or consumption equipment is connected to the electricity transmission grid and transfers them to the public service obligation fund administrator.

Environmental protection

For electricity transmission lines and transformer substations planned to be constructed, environmental impact assessment or selection procedures are carried out, the conclusions of which are evaluated when preparing technical designs. When designing new or remodelling existing transmission infrastructure structures, environmental protection requirements are determined. In all cases, efforts are made to select equipment that is less harmful to the environment. When purchasing services, it is required that contractors have introduced environmental management

Like BiD

systems according to the LST EN ISO 14001 standard, and contractors are obligated to clean up waste that results during construction and submit documents confirming this.

In August-September 2013, when large flocks of birds were preparing to migrate, Litgrid shut down four electricity transmission lines for planned repairs. When planning new electricity transmission lines or repairing them, efforts are made to reduce possible inconveniences to residents' economic activities and to not harm nature or the environment.

In September 2013, overhead lines began to be marked with special reflectors in seeking to reduce incidents of passing birds crashing into electricity lines.

In cooperation with the National Public Health Surveillance Laboratory, Litgrid participated in preparing the Electricity Transmission Line Electromagnetic Field Emissions Evaluation and Management Model.

During a reorganization of electricity sector companies in 2009-2010, based on the experiences of other countries' TSOs, decisions were made in seeking to return certain relay protection and automation, diagnostics, and technological network maintenance and control functions to the TSO as well as information technology and telecommunications functions that are necessary for the main TSO operations.

A collective bargaining agreement signed in 2013 between Litgrid and its labour union defines and ensures honest compensation policies and regulates social and economic relations between the employer and employees.

Litgrid social responsibility activities

Litgrid operations are based on principles of social responsibility, sustainable development, transparency, and advanced environmental protection. The company's operations are an inseparable condition of the successful functioning of the country's economy, while its long-term strategic electricity projects contribute to the goal of ensuring the country's energy independence.

Literid

The scope and importance of the projects it is implementing encourage the company, its employees, and its management to rely on the highest professional and ethical standards, accepting responsibility in nurturing and developing consciousness, responsibility, and the desire to actively participate in creating the country's well-being among society and its various groups. In our social responsibility policy, we devote the most attention to ensuring conscientious and motivating work conditions, cultivating responsibility and helping society in places where we operate develop and grow stronger in multidimensional ways.

In order to further cooperation between separate Litgrid units and encourage employees to get involved in horizontal processes taking place that encompass multiple units, various projects have been initiated whose goal is to get employees to not only perform tasks directly related to their work functions but also become involved in activities unrelated to work. Such activities foster organizational values, expand people's horizons, encourage professional and individual development, and foster the desire to contribute to seeking the results, increasing the prestige of energy- and engineering-related professions, and taking pride in the company and the hugely significant projects it carries out.

In seeking to ensure that specialists with important duties are easily replaceable, Litgrid conducts the Young Specialists Program and works with institutions of higher education. In order to encourage the youth and schoolchildren in higher grades to study engineering, the company's specialists often visit schools and make presentations there.

We devote our energy and resources to help society in areas where we operate grow economically, support the communities with which we work, ensure motivating conditions that encourage self-improvement for the people who work with us, and protect nature, which provides us with resources. We implement strategic, high-value, and historically important projects, so we understand that great responsibility. Maintaining and encouraging high-quality dialogue with the society for whom we work is a cornerstone of Ligrid's daily operations.

In developing greater support and trust among society for the strategic electricity projects that Litgrid carries out, approximately 100 meetings with Lithuanian residents were organized in 2013, with almost 3,000 people participating from various communities in residential areas far removed from the meetings, community relations with the residents of regions where high-voltage electricity transmission lines are being laid were established. maintained, and strengthened. In 2013, Litgrid is laying or plans to lay high-voltage electricity transmission lines in Alytus, Lazdijai, Klaipėda, Kretinga, Plungė, Telšiai, Neringa, Prienai, and Kaišiadorys districts. During the meetings with Litgrid specialists or people recognized by society, it is sought to inform local residents about the projects being implemented in their surroundings as much as possible, and the creation of a culture of dialogue is encouraged. Meeting topics vary from discussions of public and private interests and political news to informal activities that help achieve significant results and advertise Lithuania in the world. Such activities encourage to understand the value of living and working in Lithuania, the significance of cultivating patriotism, and the use of maintaining Lithuania's all-around independence.

In order to encourage the younger generation to be interested in energy-related professions, in 2013 Litgrid organized 30 meetings with high school and university students and participated in the National Career Week organized by the Why That's Necessary initiative.

About Litgrid Group's development and research activities

Litgrid annually implements development and research programmes aimed at expanding the electricity system and enhancing the efficiency of the transmission grid.

Revenue

In 2013 the Litgrid group's revenue was LTL 613.9 million, an increase of 20.8 % compared to 2012.

Revenue for electricity transmission increased 3.5 % compared to 2012 to LTL 227.2 million, which made up 37 % of the group's revenue. In 2013, Litgrid's high-voltage electricity transmitted 9,300 million kilowatt-hours of electricity for the country's needs, or 0.7 % more than was transmitted in 2012.

8.261 billion kWh were delivered to Lesto, the distribution grid operator, or 1.1 % less than last year, while 1.039 billion kWh were delivered to other users, or 17.3 % more than in 2012. This resulted from greater electricity demand from the transmission grid among other users due to reduced private electricity production.

Sales revenue of balancing and regulation electricity increased 71.7 % to LTL 186.8 million. The increase resulted from balancing energy suppliers buying a 48 % greater quantity of balancing energy in 2013 than in 2012, i.e., the balancing energy provided by the TSO satisfied a greater share of its consumers' needs. Revenue from system (capacity reserve) services increased 45.2 % to LTL 93.8 million, with the increase resulting from higher prices for system services. The fee for electricity imported to or exported from countries not belonging to the EU (ITC revenue (ITC revenue, or revenue from participation in the European transmission system operator transit compensation mechanism) was LTL 9.7 million. PSO revenues were LTL 10.8 million. Other revenue related to electricity: reactive energy, transit, and new user connection revenue equalled LTL 13 million.

Design, maintenance, repair work, and investment project income fell 6.1 % to LTL 65.4 million, while other revenue fell 12 % to LTL 7.2 million.

Risks

Political risks

Power sector is a vitally important sector of the economy. It exerts considerable influence over political and economic interests. The structure and management of the power sector and the operation of the companies in the energy sector are governed by the Republic of Lithuania Law on Electricity and the relevant regulations. Any amendments to national or European Union energy legislation can have an impact on the results of Litgrid Group.

Prices for energy services are regulated, with the price cellings set by the State Commission on Prices and Energy Control. Operating results of Litgrid are directly dependent on these decisions.

Management of financial risks

Companies in Litgrid Group encounter financial risk in their operations such as credit risk and market risk (currency exchange risk, interest rate risk). In managing this risk, the Group's companies seek to minimise the effects of factors that can have an adverse impact on the Group. Risk management is conducted by the Company's Financial Planning and Analysis Division in accordance with the Procedure for Treasury Management at Litgrid Group approved by the Board of Litgrid.

Information about financial risk faced by the Group and its management is provided in Note 31 of the Consolidated and Company Financial Statements of Litgrid, AB for 2013.

Technical risks

Lithuania's energy system has a number of connecting lines with the neighbouring energy systems. The available power and energy balance control means are limited and the power and energy balance control process is complicated.

About 50% of equipment in the TSO transformer substations is older than 25 years. 35% of all 110 KV overhead lines and 24% of all 330 kV overhead lines are older than 45 years. Failures or faults in the main process equipment can have a negative impact on Litgrid's operations and financial results.

Environmental risks

Companies of the Group comply with the environmental regulations providing for appropriate labelling, use and storage of any hazardous materials used, ensuring that equipment operated by the companies meet the requirements set for them. At facilities that pose an increased risk to the environment due to pollutants or waste, work is organised according to the conditions set out in the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Permits issued by regional environmental protection departments.

3.6. In order to ensure proper resolution of any conflicts of interests
of members of a collegiate body, the body should contain sufficient
number of independent members.
NO There
are
no

3.7. A member of a collegiate body should be considered to be
independent only if is not linked with the company, its controlling
shareholder or administration of the company/shareholder by any
business, kinship or other relations which give or could give rise to
a conflict of interest and which could influence the member's views.
As it is impossible to list all the cases when a member of a
collegiate body may lose independence, in addition, relations and
circumstances relate to the determination of independence may
differ from company to company, and the best practice of resolution
of the problem may form in time, an assessment of independence
of the member should be based on the content and not the form of
the relations and circumstances.
Main criteria on which determination of the member's
independence should be based:
1) he may not be executive director or member of the board of the
company or an associated company (if the collegiate body elected
by the general meeting of shareholders is a supervisory council)
and may not have occupied such position during the past five
years);
2) he may not be employee of the company or an associated
company and may not have occupied such position during the past
three years except for cases when the member of the collegiate
body is not part of top management and was elected to the body as
a representative of employees;
3) he must not be receiving or received significant additional
remuneration from the company or an associated company except
for remuneration received as a member of a collegiate body. Such
additional remuneration includes participation in share options or
other remuneration systems based on the operating results; this
does not include compensation benefits under a pension plan
(including deferred compensations) for previous work in the
company (on condition that such benefit is not related in any way to
subsequent positions);
4) he may not be a controlling shareholder and may not represent
such shareholder (control is determined according to Article 1(1) of
Council Directive 83/349/EEC);
5) he may not have or have had in the previous years any
significant business relations with the company or an associated
company directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or senior
manager of an entity having such relations. An entity is considered
to be having business relations if it is an important supplier of
goods or services (including financial, legal, advisory and
consulting services), significant customer or organisations receiving
significant payments from the company or the group to which the
company belongs;
6) he may not be and may not have been in the past three years a
partner or employee of the current or previous external auditor of
the company or an associated company;
7) he may not be executive director or member of the board of
another company in which the executive director or member of the
company (in case of a supervisory council elected by the general
meeting of shareholders) is a consulting director or member of a
supervisory council, an may not have other significant relations with
the company's executive directors that arise in the process of
participation in the activities of other companies or bodies;
8) he may not have occupied the position of a member of a
collegiate body longer than 12 years;
9) he may not be a member of the closest family of the executive
director or a member of the board (in case of a supervisory council

collegiate body is proposed, the company should announce
whether the member is considered independent. Where a member
of the body does not meet any independence criteria set in this
code, the company should announce reasons why it still considers
that member independent. In addition, the company should state in
every annual report which members of the collegiate body are
considered independent.

Principle IV: Duties and responsibilities of a collegiate body elected by the general meeting of shareholders
The corporate governance system should ensure that the collegiate body elected by the general meeting of
shareholders functions properly and effectively and the rights granted to the body should endure effective
supervision over the corporate management bodies and protection of the shareholders' interests
4.1. The collegiate body elected by the general meeting of
shareholders ("the collegiate body") should ensure integrity and
transparency if the financial accounting and control system of the
company. The collegiate body should constantly make
recommendations to the company's management bodies and
supervise and control their activities in the area of management of
the company.
YES The Supervisory Council of the

4.3. Each member of a collegiate body should devote sufficient YES
time and efforts to the performance of his duties in a collegiate
body. Each member of a collegiate body should undertake to limit
his other professional obligations (in particular the duties of a
director of another company) so that they do not hinder the
performance of his duties as a member of the collegiate body. If a
member has attended less than one half of the meetings of the
collegiate body during the company's financial year, the
shareholders should be notified thereof.

meetings of the collegiate body and
devote sufficient time for the
performance of their functions as
Members of the collegiate body.
The participants in the meetings
are recorded in the minutes.
4.4. Where decisions by the collegiate body may have different YES
effects on different shareholders, the collegiate body must treat all
the shareholders in good faith and without bias. It should ensure
that the shareholders are duly informed about the company's
affairs, strategies, risk management and resolution of conflicts of
interest. The company must have clearly defined the role of the
members of the collegiate body in the relations with shareholders
and in their obligations to the shareholders.
The shareholders are
informed
about the Company's strategies,
risk management and resolution of
conflicts of interests according to
the procedure established by the
law.
The role of the Supervisory Council
Members in the communication

and
to the

according to provisions of the Law
on Companies and the Articles of
Association.
4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except low value
transactions or transactions concluded in the normal course of
business of the company) between the company and its
shareholders or members of supervisory or managerial bodies or
other natural or legal persons that may have influence over the
company's management should be certified by a collegiate body.
Decision on the approval of such transactions should be deemed to
be adopted only if the majority of the independent members of the
collegiate body vote for it.

4.6. The collegiate body should be independent in adopting
decisions that are significant for the company's activities and
strategies. In addition, the collegiate body should be independent
from management bodies of the company. Work and decisions by
the collegiate body should not be influenced by the persons that
elected it.
NO There

The company should ensure that the collegiate body and its
committees are provided with sufficient resources (including
financial) necessary for the performance of their duties including
the right to obtain - in particular from the employees of the
company - all the requisite information and the right to approach
external law, accounting or other professionals for advice on the
matters falling within the scope of competence of the collegiate
body and its committees.

services in order to get information about market standards on NO
setting of remuneration rates, must ensure that the same
consultant would not provide consulting on personnel division or
executive director or members of management bodies of a related
company at the same time.
No Remuneration Committee has
been formed by the Company.
4.7. Work of the collegiate body should be organised in such a way
that independent members of the collegiate body would have
significant influence in the most important areas with a high
potential of conflicts of interest. Such areas include issues related
to the appointment of directors, setting of remuneration to directors,
and audit control over the company.
NO Independence of the Supervisory
Council Members is not assessed.
Therefore, in the case where these issues fall within the scope of
competence of a collegiate body, it is recommended that the
collegiate body forms committees on appointment, remuneration
and audit. The company should ensure that functions assigned to
the appointments, remuneration and audit committees are
performed, however, they may be combined and less than three
committees may be formed. In such a case the company must
provide a detailed explanation why an alternative approach was
selected and how it complies with the objectives of the three
individual committees. Where the collegiate body has a small
number of members, the functions of the three committees may be
performed by the collegiate body itself, provided that it meets the
composition requirements set for the committees and the requisite
information on this issue is disclosed. In such a case the provisions
of this Code related to the said committees of the collegiate body
(in particular, to their role, activities and transparency) should apply
to the collegiate body as whole, where applicable.
YES No Remuneration Committee or
Appointment Committees have
been formed.
In the opinion of the Company, the
work of the Supervisory Council is
and well organised,
effective
therefore, the Supervisory Council
can properly perform all the
functions of the Remuneration and
Appointment Committees.
4.8. The main purpose of the committees is to increase efficiency
of work of the collegiate body to ensure that decisions are adopted
upon proper consideration and to assist in the organisation of work
so that conflicts of interest do not influence decisions adopted by
the collegiate body. The committees should act in an independent
manner and adhere to their principles and provide to the collegiate
body recommendations on decision-adoption by the collegiate
body, however, the final decision shall be adopted by the collegiate
body itself.
The recommendation on the formation of committees is not aimed
at narrowing the scope of competence of the collegiate body or
delegate it to the committees. The collegiate body remains fully
responsible for the decisions adopted within the scope of its
competence.
NO No Remuneration Committee or
Appointment Committees have
been formed.
4.9. Committees formed by the collegiate body should normally
consist of at least three members.
In companies whose collegiate body has a small number of
members a committee may be formed of two persons by way of
exception. The majority of the members of any committees should
consist of independent members of the collegiate body. In case if
no supervisory council is formed in the company, the salaries
committee and the audit committee should be formed exclusively of
consulting directors. In deciding on the chairman and members of a
committee, account should be taken of the fact that membership of
committees should be renewed and excessive trust should not be
placed on any person.
YES The Audit Committee consists of
three members, two of whom are
independent members.
4.10. Authorisations of any committee should be established by the
collegiate body. Committees should perform their duties within the
scope of their authorisations and inform the collegiate body about
its activities and results on a regular basis. Authorisations of each
committee, with the roles, rights and responsibilities defined,
should be published at least once in a year (as part of the
information that the company publishes on its management
structure and practices every year). The annual report of the
company should also include notices of published by the
committees stating information about their composition, number of
meetings and attendance by members during the past year as well
as about main lines of activities. The audit committee should certify

4.11. In order to ensure independence and objectivity of
committees, members of the collegiate body that are not members
of the committees should normally have the right to attend the
meetings of the committee only subject to invitation by the
committees, The committee may invite or demand that certain
employees or experts attend the meetings. Chairman of each
committee should be enabled to maintain direct relations with the
