Independent auditor's report on the review of condensed interim financial information to the shareholders of AB LITGRID

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of AB LITGTID, a public limited liability company registered in the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter the Company), and the consolidated condensed interim statement of financial position of AB LITGRID and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group), as of 30 June 2013 and the related Company's and consolidated condensed interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Company's and consolidated condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

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 Note 3.2 and Note 4 to the acompanying condensed interim financial information, the amendments 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 the regulatory environment in the nearest future, the Company's and the Group's management decided not to reassess the fair values of the property, plant and equipment with the carrying amounts of LTL 1952 million and LTL 1954 million in the separate and in the consolidated statement of financial position, respectively as of 30 June 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 Company's and consolidated condensed interim financial information.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our review, except for the possible effect of the matter discussed in section Basis for Qualified Conclusion, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Company's and Group's interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting").

This condensed interim financial information should be read together with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

This condensed interim financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment loss, and available-for-sale financial assets which are carried at fair value.

The condensed interim financial information for the 6 month period ended 30 June was reviewed, not audited.

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

3. Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this condensed interim financial information, except for the ones described in the section New standards, amendments and interpretations bellow, are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

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; $\bullet$
  • IAS 19 Employee Benefits $\bullet$
  • $\bullet$ IAS 32 Financial instruments: Presentation;
  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; $\bullet$
  • IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

The adoption of these amendments did not have significant impact on the financial position as of 30 June 2013 and/or performance of the Group and the Company.

3.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)

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 of the date of authorisation of these financial statements for issue, but which are not yet effective:

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 11 and 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. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.

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. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this amendment.

Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and 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 implementation 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 IAS 36 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.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2015, once 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.

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 areas 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 the implementation 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 are joint 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.

3.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations (continued)

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, investments 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 this standard.

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

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 and the Company.

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

This interpretation addresses the accounting for levies imposed by governments. Liability to pay a levy is recognized in the financial statements when the activity that triggers the payment of the levy occurs. The Group and the Company have not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this interpretation.

The Group and the Company plans to adopt the above mentioned standards and interpretations on their effectiveness date provided they are endorsed by the EU.

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 they do not apply hedge accounting.

3.2. Critical accounting estimates and uncertainties

The preparation of condensed interim financial information in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the account policy and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs and contingencies. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Preparing this interim financial information, significant decisions of the management regarding the application of the accounting policy and the main uncertainties were as follows:

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

According to the IAS 36, the recoverable value of the asset is the higher from the net realizable value and the valuein-use. It is important to note, that there is no possibility to calculate the realizable value for the vast majority of the Company's infrastructural asset units. According to the IAS 36, in such case, the recoverable value of the asset is estimated by calculating its value-in-use. The latter is calculated by discounting the future cash flows that would be generated by the asset. The price regulation mechanism for the Company's services that is legally determined by the Commission has a very huge influence for the assessment of the indicators of possible infrastructural assets impairment.

It is important to note that the reliable value-in-use may be calculated as long the regulation is stable and predictable. However, in recent years, the price cap calculation principles were changed frequently (until 2010, the price caps of transmission services were determined according to the value of the assets that is used in the service provider's operations and is set according to the service provider's financial statements; from 2010 the determination of the price caps for electricity transmission services is to include the value of assets used in licensed activities of the service provider, which is equal to the net book value (carrying amount) of property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2002 as increased by the amount of capital expenditures implemented and agreed with the Commission and reduced by the depreciation amount calculated pursuant to the procedure stipulated in the Lithuanian Law on Corporate Income Tax. On 12 April 2012 the Commission initiated the development of LRAIC (Long Run Average Incremental Costs) method for the determination of the price caps of transmission services. This method shall be used for the determination of the price caps of transmission services from the beginning of the next regulatory period (2015).

It should be noted that determining the value-in-use of the assets is mostly influenced by the assumptions of transmission service tariffs in the future periods. In case the Company valued the assets assuming that the price cap determination process will remain the same, it is possible that estimated value-in-use of the assets might significantly differ from the carrying amount of the assets. The Company intends to perform value in use calculation and potential estimation of impairment of property, plant and equipment by the end of 2013, because currently too high uncertainties exist in respect of planned implementation of the new method (LRAIC).

4. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

During the unbundling process that took place in 2010, the Company took over property, plant and equipment from Lietuvos Energija AB. The fair value of property, plant and equipment, depending on the type of asset, of Lietuvos Energija AB as at 31 December 2008 was determined by independent valuers who used either method of comparative prices, or depreciated replacement value, or discounted cash flows methods to determine the fair value of the assets.

Lietuvos Energija AB revised the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment. Having assessed the fall in construction cost indices during the 11 months of 2009 of the relevant categories of assets as published by the Lithuanian Statistics Department, Lietuvos Energija AB reduced the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment. Lietuvos Energija AB applied a 12.27 per cent statistical index in respect of the category of buildings and a 9.68 per cent index in respect of other categories of property, plant and equipment that at 31 December 2008 were revalued based on the depreciated replacement cost method.

According to the Company's accounting policy, periodical revaluation must be performed at least once in a 5-year period. The Company intends to perform the revaluation of property, plant and equipment by the end of 2013, when more information in the regulating environment is available (Note 3.2).

As of 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012, the Group/Company had significant contractual commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment to be fulfilled in the upcoming periods.

  • electricity transmission;
  • trade in balancing/regulating electricity;
  • provision of capacity reserve services; $\bullet$
  • provision of services under PSO (public service obligation) scheme;
  • activities of the market operator;
  • repair and maintenance activities.

The electricity transmission segment is engaged in transmitting electricity over high voltage (330-110 kV) networks from producers to users or suppliers not in excess of the limit established in the contract. The main objective of these activities is to ensure a reliable, effective, high quality, transparent and safe electricity transmission to distributions networks, large network users from power stations and neighbouring energy systems.

Trade in balancing/regulating electricity is a service ensuring the balancing of electricity generation/import and demand/export levels.

15. Segment information (cont'd)

Provision of capacity reserve services. In order to ensure a reliable work of the system, the Company purchases from electricity producers the service of ensuring capacity reserve for power generation facilities, reaction power and voltage control, breakdown and disorder prevention and its liquidation and provides capacity reserve services to users. The capacity reserve is required in case of unexpected fall in electricity generation volumes or increase in electricity consumption.

The Company's/Group's services provided under PSO scheme comprise as follows:

  • development and implementation of strategic projects for the improvement of energy security, installing interconnections between the electricity transmission systems abroad and (or) connecting the electricity transmission systems in the Republic of Lithuania with the electricity transmission systems in foreign countries (interconnections Lithuania-Sweden and Lithuania-Poland, connection of the Lithuanian electric energy system to continental Europe networks);
  • connection of power generation facilities that use the renewable energy resources to transmission networks; optimisation, development and/or reconstruction of transmission networks ensuring the development of power generation that uses the renewable energy resources.
  • balancing of electricity generated using the renewable energy resources:

Since 2013, the Company's subsidiary BALTPOOL UAB carries out the activities of PSO fund administrator, natural gas, additional security against the fluctuations in electricity prices in power exchange market and biofuel market operator (until 2013, these activities were carried out by the Company).

Litigations

Legal claim is filed by the Company against A. Blyskys, B. Černauskiene, A. Černauskas (hereinafter - the defendants) and SEB bankas AB, regarding the application of servitude in relation with construction and maintenance of 330 kV overhead transmission line Klaipėda-Telšiai. The defendants filed a counterclaim demanding the compensation for the application of servitude in the amount of LTL 700 thousand instead of the amount offered by the Company. Currently, the case is analysed in the first instance court. Taking into account the current situation and the Court experts' findings, it is probable that the maximum compensation granted to the defendants might approximate LTL 356,800 or less.

The civil legal case initiated by the Company against AB Achema for the claim of debt and related interest amount. The Company has submitted a lawsuit against AB Achema for the collection of debt in the amount of LTL 2 271 108.65 and related interest in the amount of LTL 20 918.25 in accordance with Electricity transmission agreement (hereinafter - the Agreement) signed between the Company and AB Achema for the respective public service obligations (hereinafter - PSO) for the period from April to June 2012. The investigation of this case was suspended by the decision of 14 June 2012 of Kaunas County Court until the completion of investigation of the civil case initiated by the claim of AB Achema against LITGRID requesting the recognition of the transaction as null and void and payment of restitutional compensation. The later civil case of AB Achema is also suspended until the final resolution of the administrative case at the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania (SACL) initiated on the 2 March 2011 by the claim (request) of the group of the Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas) members regarding noncompliance of post-legislative acts with the Lithuanian Law on Electric Energy. The latter case by the claim of the Lithuanian Parliament is also suspended since 30 January 2012 until the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania completes its investigation of the request submitted by the members of the Lithuanian Parliament to investigate whether the provisions of the Lithuanian Law on Electric Energy are not in breach of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania. As at 31 December 2012, the outstanding overdue debt of AB Achema amounted to LTL 7,445 thousand (31 December 2011: LTL 5,121 thousand). The outcome of the case may affect the balance of PSO fees administered by the Company, however, it will have no impact on the Company's net profit (loss) because the Company acts as an agent and PSO fees administered by it are recognised only as amounts receivable(payable).

The administrative case was initiated on the basis of Achema AB claim for damages caused by illegitimate actions of the state authorities. Achema AB claims that the state authorities acted illegitimately and beyond their competence when they adopted the Lithuanian Law on Electric Energy, the provisions of which are in breach of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania and EU legal acts, and post-legislative acts that are in breach of legal acts bearing superior power. Achema AB claims that damages incurred by it as a result of allegedly illegitimate actions of state authorities amounted to LTL 3 127 402. The Vilnius County Administrative Court on 7 December 2011 decided to suspend the investigation of this case until the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania completes the investigation of the aforementioned case, which is until the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania completes its investigation of the request submitted by the members of the Lithuanian Parliament. The resolution of this case will not have an impact on the net profit (loss) of the Company because the Company acts as an agent and PSO fees administered by it are recognised only as amounts receivable(payable). The management does not believe that these litigations will have any negative impact on the Group's/Company's financial statements.

18. Contingent liabilities (cont'd)

Legal claim filed by the Company against AB Achema regarding the debt and interests for the January 2013 services and obligation to sign the PSO fee collecting agreement. The Company demands from AB Achema to pay outstanding PSO fees for January 2013 in amount of LTL 1,304,306.51 (interest included). Currently, the claim is in the preparation for analysis stage using the documentary process. It is important noting that since 2013, the Company acts as a PSO fee collector only. According to the agreement with PSO fee administrator Group's company BALTPOOL UAB, in case the Company's customers do not pay PSO fees in 3 consecutive months, the Company has the right to reduce the funds transferrable to BALTPOOL UAB (which acts as an agent and PSO fees administrated by it are recognized only as amounts receivable(payable)) in the amount equal to the uncollected PSO fees. Taking this into consideration, Court's either favorable or unfavorable decision with respect to the Company, will not have any financial impact on the Company and the Group.

Legal claim filed by the Company against AB LIFOSA regarding the debt and interests for the January 2013 services and obligation to sign the PSO fee collecting agreement. The Company demands from AB LIFOSA to pay outstanding PSO fees for January 2013 in amount of LTL 362 517.6 (interest included). Currently, the claim is in the preparation for analysis stage using the documentary process. It is important noting that since 2013, the Company acts as a PSO fee collector only. According to the agreement with PSO fee administrator Group's company BALTPOOL UAB, in case the Company's customers do not pay PSO fees in 3 consecutive months, the Company has the right to reduce the funds transferrable to BALTPOOL UAB (which acts as an agent and PSO fees administrated by it are recognized only as amounts receivable(payable)) in the amount equal to the uncollected PSO fees. Taking this into consideration, Court's either favorable or unfavorable decision with respect to the Company, will not have any financial impact on the Company and the Group.

Legal claim filed by the Company against AB ORLEN Lietuva regarding the debt and interests for the January 2013 services and obligation to sign the PSO fee collecting agreement. The Company demands from AB ORLEN Lietuva to pay outstanding PSO fees for January 2013 in amount of LTL 1366 856.42 (interest included). Currently, the claim is in the preparation for analysis stage using the documentary process. It is important noting that since 2013, the Company acts as a PSO fee collector only. According to the agreement with PSO fee administrator Group's company BALTPOOL UAB, in case the Company's customers do not pay PSO fees in 3 consecutive months, the Company has the right to reduce the funds transferrable to BALTPOOL UAB (which acts as an agent and PSO fees administrated by it are recognized only as amounts receivable(payable)) in the amount equal to the uncollected PSO fees. Taking this into consideration, Court's either favorable or unfavorable decision with respect to the Company, will not have any financial impact on the Company and the Group.

Legal claim filed by A. Žilinskio ir Ko UAB against the Company demanding to declare the one-sided set-off invalid and also decide in favor of payment for construction works and related overdue interest fee. According to the contract signed on 2 July 2010, A. Žilinskio ir Ko UAB was obliged to complete the construction of the 110 kV transmission line Nemunas-Murava no later than 18 November 2011. However, the construction was ended only on 30 January 2013. LITGRID AB charged A. Žilinskio ir Ko UAB the forfeit in the amount of LTL 880.187.45 which the Company setted-off with the amount payable to A. Žilinskio ir Ko UAB and recognised as overdue interest income in 2012. A. Žilinskio ir Ko UAB demands to declare the set-off invalid, repay the set off amount and adjudge the overdue interest. Currently, the case is analysed by the first instance court. The Company did not account for the provision in amount of potentially returnable forfeit and adjusted overdue interest, because in it's opinion at the moment of preparation of this condensed interim financial information, it is impossible to reliably estimate the outcome of the case.

LITGRID AB (hereinafter referred to as "Litgrid" or "the Company") Public limited liability company 2010-11-16, Register of Legal Persons of the Republic of Lithuania 302564383 A. Juozapavičiaus g. 13, LT-09311, Vilnius +370 5 278 2777 +370 5 272 3986 [email protected]; www.litgrid.eu

Activities of Litgrid

Litgrid, the Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator that maintains stable operation of the country's power system, controls power flows, and facilitates conditions for the electricity market functioning. Litgrid is also in charge of the integration of the Lithuanian power system into the European electricity infrastructure and a common European electricity market. While implementing strategic projects of international power links NordBalt (Lithuania-Sweden) and LitPol Link (Lithuania-Poland), in order to secure the country's energy independence, we foster a culture of responsibility, resourcefulness and dialogue.

Mission of Litgrid: ensure reliable transmission of electricity and enable competition in the open electricity market.

Vision of Litgrid: full integration of the Lithuanian electricity system into the European electricity infrastructure and the common electricity market.

Values of Litgrid: responsibility, highest professional standards, cooperation, proactiveness, respect.

Litgrid strategy: responsibility to control national electricity system

Lithuania is an independent state for more than twenty years and a member of the European Union for nearly a decade. Its electricity system, however, remains part of a non-European electricity system centrally controlled from a neighbouring Eastern state. The Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia) are still isolated from the continental European electricity transmission grids. Litgrid, which is the backbone of the Lithuanian electricity sector, is responsible for ensuring reliable operation of the national electricity system and its integration into the European grids and systems. in addition to such responsibilities as maintaining the electricity consumption and generation balance and securing a reliable electricity transmission. The main lines of activities of Litgrid in the process of implementation of the National Energy Strategy are as follows:

Integration of the national power system into Europe

After Lithuania becomes a full-fledged member of the European electricity system, the European management standards will be implemented in the Lithuanian electricity sector, control of electricity flows based on the market principles will be introduced, and participation in the system frequency maintenance will be ensured. The aim is to achieve synchronous operation of the Baltic States with the European Continental Network.

Common European electricity market

Integration of the Lithuanian electricity market into the Baltic and Nordic markets, and later into the common European electricity market, will secure transparent prices for electricity, competition and freedom of choice to all market players as well as electricity trade with the neighbouring European states on equal rights. Being part of a large electricity market will lead to a most effective use of the network and generation infrastructure and to ensuring security of the electricity supply.

Integration of the electricity transmission network into the European electricity infrastructure

Lithuania has a strong electricity transmission network; now it is well connected with the electricity transmission infrastructure of the neighbours in the East and, upon completion of construction of the links with Sweden (NordBalt) and Poland (LitPol Link), connections with the North and West European networks will be ensured. While development of the interconnection links will enable electricity trade between different energy systems, optimal investment in the national grid will ensure the integration of new power generators, secure transmission of electricity, and reliable operation of the national system. Lithuania will become, jointly with Latvia and Estonia, a well-developed region with reliable links.

Major events in the implementation of the strategic and other energy sector projects in the first half of 2013

Implementation of the intersystem electricity interconnection LitPol Link.

On 15 February 2013, a design and contract agreement was signed with ABB AB on Alytus HVDC back-to-back converter station with a 400 kV switchyard.

On 19 March 2013, public procurement procedures for reconstruction of a 330 kV Alytus transformer substation, and on 12 April 2013, public procurement procedures for construction of a 400 kV overhead line from Alytus transformer substation to the Lithuanian-Polish border were launched.

On 3 April 2013, a permit for reconstruction of a 330 kV switchyard of Alytus transformer substation according to the previously drawn and approved technical design was obtained.

On 10 May (for Lazdijai District) and on 13 May (for Alytus District) 2013, permits for construction of a 400 kV overhead line from Alytus transformer substation to the Lithuanian-Polish border according to the previously drawn and approved technical design were obtained.

On 17 May 2013, an agreement with Poyry Swedpower AB was signed on technical and contract consulting in the course of development and implementation of a technical design of Alytus HVDC back-to-back converter station with a 400 kV switchyard.

Implementation of the intersystem electricity interconnection NordBalt

In the first half of 2013, manufacture of a subsea cable for the NordBalt link in Sweden continued. About 220 km cable was produced by the end of June 2013. 900 km cable in total will be produced, it will be laid on the seabed in 2014 -2015.

In March 2013, development of a working and detail design of the HVDC converter substation was launched.

In May 2013, the final building permit for the NordBalt was obtained. 4 permits in total were obtained in first half of 2013: for HVDC converter substation in Klaipeda District Municipality and cable construction in Klaipeda City Municipality, Klaipeda City Municipality and Seaside zone (Curonian Spit) together with the territorial waters of the Republic of Lithuania and exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea.

Reconstruction of Klaipeda transformer substation and construction of a 330 kV line Klaipeda-Telsiai (a building permit for construction works in Klaipeda District was obtained) continued. The substation reconstructions is planned to be completed in autumn 2014, while completion of the construction of the line Klaipeda-Telsiai is planned for winter 2014.

Development of Lithuanian electricity market

On 15 March 2013, transmission system operators of the Baltic States: Litgrid (Lithuania). Augstsprieguma Tikls (Latvia), and Elering (Estonia) signed an agreement on the use of cross-border capacities for electricity market, which includes rules on establishing cross-border capacity trade for the Baltic transmission system operators, rules for calculation of intersystem capacities with third countries and internal rules on establishing intersystem capacities between the Baltic transmission system operators. The document stipulates establishment and distribution of power transmission capacities for power trade between the Baltic States and third countries. The agreement is important for the successful integration of the Baltic electricity markets. Since 3 June 2013, all the electricity transmission capacity between Estonia and Latvia and between Latvia and Estonia is transmitted to the Nord Pool Spot which ensures its optimum distribution between the Baltic States. This ensures maximum advantages for the electricity markets players in the Baltic States.

On 3 June 2013, when Latvia joined the Nord Pool Spot, Lithuanian bidding area was no longer isolated from other bidding areas, electricity market liquidity improved, exchange prices give more reliable reflection of the situation on the market. Since all three Baltic States joined the common electricity market of the Baltic and Scandinavian countries. more effective use of electricity transmission capacities is achieved in the Baltic States

In the first half of 2013, volumes of electricity imported into Lithuania from Russia continued decreasing and electricity volumes imported from Estonia continued growing. Since trade in wind energy was launched on the market on 8 January 2013, its share in the total power generation of Lithuania increased from 8% in January up to 17% in May.

Once the Estonian-Finnish link Estlink 2 is put into operation in 2014, and Lithuanian-Swedish link NordBalt in the end of 2015, conditions for diversification of power sources will be created. In the absence of a possibility for diversification of power supply sources, trend of fluctuation in electricity prices was observed in the Lithuanian bidding area of the Nord Pool Spot in the 1st half of 2013. The average electricity price in the first six months of 2013 was 45.92 EUR/MWh (158.55 LTL/MWh). Similar electricity price was recorded also in the first half of 2012.

Integration of Lithuanian electricity system into the European Continental Network

In the first half of 2013, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian electricity transmission system operators and Swedish company Gothia Power AB completed half of the feasibility study on the integration of the Baltic States' energy sector into the European network. The study which is planned to be completed by 30 September 2013 will analyse the technical conditions and opportunities for the integration of Baltic energy systems into the European Continental Network.

Other significant events

On 17 January 2013, the new version of the Energy Law took effect. It establishes the legal basis regulating issue of permits for electricity producers with electricity generation capacities under 10 kW. On 26 April 2013, the National Control Commission for Energy and Prices held a meeting, at which it adopted a decision that separation of Litgrid transmission activities comply with the clauses laid down in Paragraphs 2, 3 and 6, Article 53 and Paragraph 8, Article 15 of the Energy Law and can be appointed as transmission system operator.

Since May 2013, Litgrid is a member of the Central European Energy Partners (CEEP). The over-riding goal of this organisation is support integration of the energy sector of new Member States of the European Union (Central and Eastern European countries) within the framework of a common EU energy and energy security policy.

In June 2013, Litgrid completed the plan on the development of the grids of the Lithuanian electricity system until 2022 and submitted it to the National Control Commission for Energy and Prices. A plan drawn on a yearly basis contains forecasts for energy demands, capacities of power plants, electricity market, information about electricity transmission system, its development plan, projected investments.

On 6 June 2013, a an updated website of Litgrid www.litgrid.eu was launched. It contains conveniently structured useful information about electricity, electricity transmission, its trade and management of the whole energy system. Strategic electricity projects - electricity links with Sweden NordBalt and Poland LitPol Link are presented under separate columns. As an overview of all the projects of electricity transmission system development, main details and work schedules of the objects under construction, such as new electricity lines or transformer substations, are presented. A new information section for land owners provides information about high-voltage electricity lines constructed in Lithuania, lines protection zones established. Web users can also find information there about electromagnetic fields radiated from high-voltage power lines. The new website contains a special platform for monitoring Lithuanian electricity system data designed for a professional user of electricity information. Automatically updated system data diagrams and tables contain information on the volumes of electricity generated and consumed in Lithuania, cost of electricity bought from the market and comparison of prices with previous periods.

Litarid is a member of ENTSO-E (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity). Established in 2008, this organisation has 34 members – electricity transmission system operators of European states.

Electricity transmission

The transmission service consists of the transmission of electricity via high-voltage (330-110 kilovolt, kV) installations. The electricity transmission system operator (TSO) forwards electricity from generators to customers or suppliers. Transmission of electricity is a regulated activity. Prices of electricity services are regulated, the price caps are determined by the National Control Commission for Energy and Prices. Performance of Litgrid is directly determined by the latter decisions.

The main purpose of a TSO is to manage a high-voltage power transmission network and to ensure a reliable, efficient, transparent and secure electricity transmission of high quality.

System (power reserving) services

In order to secure reliable operation of the system, Litgrid purchases the service of reserve power in the power generation facilities, services of managing reactive power and voltage, service of preventing accidents, interruptions and liquidating them and provides the system (power reserving) services to customers. A power reserve is required in those cases when power generation decreases or power consumption increases suddenly and unexpectedly.

Trade in balancing and regulatiion power

Litgrid is responsible for ensuring a balance between electricity generation and consumption in the country. Balancing energy is the electricity consumed/generated not according to the consumption/generation schedules. Litgrid organises trading in balancing energy, buys and sells balancing energy necessary to ensure the balance between electricity generation and consumption in the country.

Regulating energy is the electricity bought and/or sold as instructed by TSO for the purposes of balancing generation and consumption. Litgrid organises auction trade in the regulating energy. Participants in the auction include suppliers of the regulating energy and those TSOs of other countries which are in a position to effectively change the generation and consumption regimes and which have entered into a relevant agreement with Litgrid.

Enhancing IT competences

Efficient IT solutions are becoming increasingly important for the company: information technologies have become an integral part of the electricity system planning and control as well as equipment control and maintenance. In line with

LitGRID

the provisions of the EU Third Energy Package, which requires separation of the electricity generation, transmission and distribution activities, Litgrid has assessed the need for independent management of its activities in the information technologies and communications (ITC) area. Until June 2013, all IT services were provided to Litgrid by Technologiju ir inovacijų centras UAB; however, having decided to develop the in-house IT competences and to meet the legal requirements set for a transmission system operator, formation of an IT division commenced in June 2013, by taking over the ownership, development and servicing of the main IT systems of the transmission system operator. It will ensure the continuity of Litgrid's IT solutions, security control and transparency of operations.

Corporate social responsibility

Litgrid's activities are based on the principles of social responsibility, sustainable development, transparency and advanced protection of the environment. The work performed by Litgrid is a precondition for successful functioning of the national economy, while the corporate long-term objectives and the strategic energy projects underway contribute significantly to the securing and consolidating the energy independence of the country.

The scope and significance of the projects implemented by the company encourage its management and employees to take guidance from the highest professional and ethical standards and to contribute to the process of increasing awareness and responsibility of the public as well as promoting the public welfare.

Our social responsibility policy is focused mainly on securing fair and motivating working conditions, enhancing responsibility and public spirit, providing thorough help for the society, in which we carry out our operations, to grow bigger and stronger.

We assign our efforts and resources to promote society's economic growth, to support communities, with which we work, to ensure motivating and improvement-promoting conditions for people working with us, to protect nature providing us with resources. We implement strategic projects of great value and historic significance, therefore we understand that great works bring great responsibility. Maintaining and encouraging a quality dialogue with society, for which and in which we operate, is the crucial priority of the daily activities of Litgrid.

Building greater social support and trust in the strategic electricity projects implemented by Litgrid, the company organised 36 meetings with Lithuanian population in the first half of 2013, which were attended by nearly 2 thousand people from various communities, including cities and the most remote rural areas. Promoting young generation's interest in energy engineer's profession, 6 target meetings with senior class students were held.

Environmental protection

Environmental impact assessment/screening procedures are carried out for the electricity transmission lines and transformer substations being designed. Conclusions drawn upon completion of these procedures are taken into consideration in the technical designs. Environmental protection requirements are set for the designing of new or reconstruction of existing electricity transmission infrastructure facilities. The aim is to minimise the impact upon the environment. In all tendering procedures there is a requirement that contractors have an environmental management system according to LST EN ISO 14001 in place; contractors are obligated to manage waste generated during construction and to provide documents proving such management activities.

Litgrid operates in accordance with the waste and wastewater management regulations as well as regulations governing the safe use of chemical substances; environmental requirements are established for both new facilities and facilities under reconstruction.

Responsibility for the management of waste generated during operation of energy facilities (transformer oils and waste related to the use of such oils, batteries etc.) lies with contractors that operate such facilities under contracts. Litgrid has taken out civil liability insurance for the damage to the environment in case of emergencies or equipment failure.

Information on research and development activities of the Group

Litgrid formulates its annual research and development programmes aimed at the development of the electricity system and at increasing the transmission network's efficiency. Energy facilities are being reconstructed, with old facilities replaced by new ones and with modern relay protection, system automation, control, data capture and transmission systems implemented. Facilities' construction and reconstruction plans are drawn up based on scientific research and studies and are updated on an annual basis.

Seeking to become an equal part of the European electricity system, the Baltic States not only coordinate their efforts in implementing the synchronisation-related strategic projects, but also see immense benefits of collaboration in the fields of research and development.

Risks

Political risk

Electricity sector has vital importance for the economy and profound influence over the national political and economic interests. The structure and management of the electricity sector and the activities of enterprises operating in the sector are governed by the Republic of Lithuania Law on the Electricity System and the related regulations. Any amendments to the relevant national laws or the European Union energy legislation can affect the operating results of the Litgrid Group.

Financial risks

Companies of Litgrid Group face financial risks in their operations such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including currency exchange risk, interest rate risk and securities' price risk). By managing these risks the companies seek to minimise the effects of such risks on the Group's financial results. Risk management is performed by the Financial Planning and Analysis Division of the Company, acting in accordance with the Treasury Management Procedure approved by the Litgrid Board.

Information about financial risks and their management is presented in Note 33 to the Consolidated and the Company's Financial Statements for 2012.

Technical risk

The Lithuanian energy system is interrelated with the neighbouring energy systems by a number of connecting lines. The available means to manage capacities and energy balances are limited, whereas the power and energy control itself is a complicated task.

About 50% of the equipment in the TSO's 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 breakdowns of the main facilities used by Litgrid in its operations can have a negative impact on the Company's financial results.

Environmental risk

Companies of the Group work in accordance with the environmental regulations that provide for appropriate marking, use and storage of dangerous materials and ensure that all the equipment used meet the requirements set for them.
