Internal control over consolidated financial statements. When preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company combines the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary line-by-line,
by summing up the items of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses. Afterwards, it eliminates: the book value of the Company's investment into the subsidiary and the Company's share of equity in the subsidiary; balance sheet balances, transactions, income and expenses inside the group. For this purpose, it prepares a reconciled report of all transactions, income and expenses for the period; difference in depreciation of contribution in kind measured at market value as compared to its book value.
For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements of the group, the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiary are prepared as of and for the same date.
The Company's and the subsidiary's accounting policy is checked to determine whether it is the same when accounting for similar transactions.
The subsidiary's income and expenses are included into the consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition.
On 5th of July, 2012 the Supervisory Board of the Company discussing 1st issue of agenda of the meeting No 2012-5 "Information on the issue of the sale of shares of UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė" approved in essence the sale of the shares of UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė to Clement Power Venture Inc., reaching the optimum for AB Kauno Energija from this sale and determined the main guidelines for negotiations.
The Managing Board of AB Kauno Energija decided to approve the sale of all the shares of UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė owned by OAO Gazprom to Clement Power Venture Inc., at the meeting which has been held on 10th of July, 2012, coordinating change of conditions of agreements signed with UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė and reaching the optimum for AB Kauno Energija from this sale.
By the initiative of the main shareholder of the Company – Kaunas city municipality and by the decision of the Managing Board of 24th of July, 2012 the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company has been convened on 17th of August, 2012. The issue "Regarding AB Kauno Energija permission for OAO Gazprom to transfer shares of UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė and to exempt from obligations terms of undertakings agreement" will be discussed.
Investments create a strong potential for the sustained business development and profitability. The aim of the Group's and the Company's investment program for the year 2012 is to further develop the Company's heat production, transmission and distribution through increase of use of bio-fuel for heat production, heat supply reliability, expansion of maintenance services of engineering systems and improvement of services quality.
The major part of investments planned in the year 2012 for the equipment of bio-fuel cogeneration power plants in Inkaras and Noreikiškės boiler-houses and for reconstruction of biomass burned boiler in Petrašiūnai power plant was transposed to the year 2013. Corrected investment plan for the year 2012 was approved on 12th of July, 2012 in Kaunas city council.
Significant funds are appropriated for the modernisation and repair of heat supply networks. After the Company signed the agreements on financial support from European Union Structural Funds in 2011, the following projects were started to implement in the 1st half of the year 2012: (1) "Modernization of Kaunas city integrated network Dainava main (1T)". The total value of investment amounts to LTL 3.432 million, the EU's financial support contracted for LTL 1.560 million; (2) "Modernization of Pramonė main (1Ž)". The project value amounts to LTL 4.859 million, the EU's financial support contracted for LTL 2.00 million.
Beyond above-mentioned projects, further implementation of Company's investment program continues in 2012. It involves: further modernization of boiler-houses owned by the Company, automation of production process, mounting of condensing economizers; reconstruction of heat supply networks, replacement of heat meters, repairs of underground collectors and other important works. The implementation of these measures
will allow to reduce heat production, transmission and selling losses and to perform optimization of heat supply to the consumers.
Implementing the provisions of National Renewable Energy Development Strategy action plan, and seeking to implement key objectives of the Company and attitudes of National Energy Strategy related with heat sources and heat supply network security technical requirements, which guarantee the quality of heat supply to consumers, the applications for the projects "Installation of bio-fuel cogeneration power plant in Inkaras boiler house" and "Biomass burning boiler with up to 44 MW heat with 16 MW power steam turbine projection and reconstruction in Petrašiūnai Power Plant" were prepared according to the measure of Operational Programme for Promotion of Cohesion "The use of renewable energy sources for energy production". The financing for these projects has been accepted at the meeting No 14 of the Committee of Projects Selection of Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania on 16th of July, 2012 (support in amount of LTL 6 million has been assigned for each project, order of Minister of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania of the 24th of July, 2012, No 4-740). Consultations with AB Lietuvos Energija regarding corporate implementation of reconstruction project of Petrašiūnai power plant are in progress.
The new applications for support from Lithuanian Environmental Investment Fund were prepared in the 1st half of the year 2012 under the measure "Installation of bio-fuel boilers at the capacity from 500 kW to 5 MW for central heat supply in municipalities with the population less than 100 thousand". Financing under these applications has been allocated on 30th of May, 2012 by the order of Minister of Environment of Lithuania No D1-461. The support will be used for the projects "The reconstruction of Ežerėlis boiler-house by installing a bio-fuel powered boiler at the capacity of 3.5 MW" (support allocated is LTL 1.791 million), "The reconstruction of Noreikiškės boiler-house by installing a bio-fuel powered boiler at the capacity of 4 MW" (support allocated is LTL 2.299 million).
However, it is important to note that the large flow of investment funds targeting acquisition the heat using bio-fuels sources, could lead to ambiguous results (especially if investments are financed with borrowed funds) because there is a real possibility in future increases in demand for bio-fuel and rising prices. Otherwise an unstable geopolitical situation may cause fossil fuel prices growth scenarios. It is clear that the increasingly expensive fossil fuels will increase the heat production costs (currently in the futures markets prices increase of crude oil and natural gas is observed), and at the same time increase the price for purchased heat. In order to maintain an optimal balance in planning and implementing investment projects the Group pays a great attention to political and market trend forecasting and analysis.
It is planned that the Group's sales revenue in 2012 compared to 2011 will be higher and a quantity of heat sold to consumers in 2012 will remain in the similar level. The Group's revenue and expenses will be mostly affected by changes in fuel price and heat purchase price, since the heat price is recalculated every month as prescribed by relevant regulatory legislation. The Group's profit is expected to be less compared to 2011. However, such forecasts may be affected by changes in heat demand, i.e. consumption level, which depends mostly on the average outdoor temperature, also the scope of investments by consumers into the renovation of the blocks of flats, heat saving and rational consumption, as well as the changes of economic situation in Lithuania.
In 2007, the Lithuanian Energy Institute accomplished its research project The Strategy of AB Kauno Energija for the Development of Heat Supply System during the Period from 2007 to 2020.
