Basis for preparation of financial statements

Statement of compliance

These separate financial statements (financial statements or separate financial statements) of AB Vilkyškių Pieninė have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

The Company also prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

The management of the Company is authorized to issue the separate financial statements of the Company after they are approved by the general shareholders meeting, which must be convened by 30 April 2012 as prescribed by the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania.

Notes to the financial statements Basis for preparation of financial statements (continued)

Basis of measurement

Financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for:

• derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value;
• buildings that are a part of property, plant and equipment and are measured at fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Functional and presentation currency

These separate financial statements are presented in Litas (LTL), which is the official currency of the Republic of Lithuania and the Company"s functional currency. All financial information presented in Litas has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Litas at the foreign currency exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the statement of financial position date are translated into Litas at the exchange rate ruling at that date. All transactions made in Euro have been translated to Litas at the exchange rate of 1 Euro=3.4528 Litas as fixed by the Central Bank of Lithuania.

Foreign currency exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into Litas at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the values were determined. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Summary of significant accounting policies and practices

The accounting policies of the Company, set out below, have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements, except for those which changed due to the changes in amended standards and the new IFRSs as explained below in the section "Effect on financial statements of application of new standards and amendments and new interpretation to standards".

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment, including assets under finance lease terms, but excluding buildings, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes costs incurred when acquiring the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour costs and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the costs of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Buildings are recognized at revalued amounts, being the estimated fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which is determined using fair value at the statement of financial position date. The fair value of the buildings is determined by appraisals undertaken by certified independent appraisers. The depreciation of buildings is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of assets. The revaluation reserve for buildings is being reduced in conformity with depreciation of certain assets.

In the event of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of an asset is lower than its carrying amount, the latter is immediately reduced to the fair value and the impairment is deducted from the previous revaluation increases recognised in the revaluation reserve, to the extent it does not exceed the amount of such increases. Any excess of impairment is recognized as an expense in the profit and loss.

In the case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of an asset is higher than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of this asset is increased to the amount of fair value and such increase is recorded through other comprehensive income into the revaluation reserve of property, plant and equipment under the equity. Depreciation is calculated on the amount which is equal to the acquisition cost/revaluated amount net of residual value of the asset.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings	10-40 years
Machinery and equipment	5-15 years
Other assets	3-7 years

The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed annually to ensure that the period of depreciation and other estimates are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant and equipment.

Leased assets

Leases under the terms of which the Company assume substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased property acquired by way of finance lease is capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with a finite useful life that are acquired by the company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 3 years.

Investment in subsidiaries

Investment in subsidiaries is measured at acquisition cost less impairment losses, if any.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-tomaturity financial assets, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities classified in this category are designated by management on initial recognition when the following criteria are met:

• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis; or
• the assets and liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or
• the financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are closely related to the risk of the host contract or the embedded derivative has been separately accounted from the host financial instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Related gains or losses on revaluation are charged directly to the income statement. Interest income and expense and dividends on such investments are recognized as interest income and dividend income or interest expenses, respectively.

Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortized cost using an effective interest method less any impairment losses. The effective interest method is based on estimated cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instruments at the date the instrument is recognized. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the investments are derecognized or impaired.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired.

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 of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses, except impairment losses, being recognized as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognized at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement.

Fair value

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the reporting date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument, which is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

Interest-bearing borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs on loans used for acquisition of property, plant and equipment are recognized as part of the asset acquisition costs and are accordingly added to the cost of property, plant and equipment.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The carrying value of trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short maturity.

Financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Derivative financial instruments

Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of the derivative, and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value though profit and loss.

Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value: attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit and loss when incurred. Subsequently to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

Hedging from cash flow risk

Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated as hedging against cash flow risks are recognised directly in equity to the extent this hedging is effective. When the hedging is not effective, the fair value changes are recognised in profit or loss.

When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or excercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

Separable embedded derivatives

Changes in the fair value of separable embedded derivatives are recognized in profit or loss.

Other non-trading derivatives

When a derivative financial instrument is not held for trading, and is not designated in a qualifying hedge relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

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; or
• the Company has transferred their 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.

Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

Where 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, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments.

Impairment

Financial assets

Financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, whenever it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, an impairment or bad debt loss is recognized in the income statement. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognized is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be justified by an event occurring after the write-down. Such reversal is recorded in the income statement. However, the increased carrying amount is only recognized to the extent it does not exceed the amortized cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

In relation to trade and other receivables impairment loss is recognized when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the Company"s receivables carried at amortized cost is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate (i.e., the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition of these financial assets). Receivables with a short duration are not discounted.

Impairment (continued)

Calculation of recoverable amount (continued)

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversal of impairment losses

An impairment loss in respect of receivables carried at amortized cost is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset"s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss has been recognized.

Non-financial assets

Non-financial assets, except for inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed for possible indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the "cash-generating unit, or CGU").

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement. Impairment losses recognized in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is accounted in the same caption of the income statement as the impairment loss. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as a current expense in the period when employees render the services. These include salaries and wages, social security contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other benefits. There are no long-term employee benefits.

Finance and operating leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

The Company as a lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant period rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are reflected in profit or loss.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

Operating lease payments are recognized as expenses in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability for the period in which they are declared.

Government grants

Grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognized as revenue in the income statement on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are incurred.

Grants that compensate the Company for the cost of an asset are amortized over the same period as the asset for which the grant has been received. Amortization costs are included in production cost or administrative costs as well as in depreciation of property, plant and equipment for which the grant has been received.

Revenue

Revenue from sales of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognized in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Transfer of risks and rewards vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale.

Cost of sales

Cost of production comprises direct and indirect costs including depreciation and wages incurred in order to obtain the turnover for the year.

Distribution and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses comprise expenses of transportation, administrative staff, management, office expenses, etc. including depreciation and amortization.

Other operating income and costs

Other operating income and charges comprise gain or loss from disposal of non-current assets, gain or loss from intercompany transactions as well as other income and costs not related to the primary activity.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses comprise interest receivable and payable, realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses regarding debtors and creditors denominated in foreign currencies.

Interest income is recognized in the income statement using effective interest method. The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognized in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.

Income tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized through other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Standard profit tax rate applied to the companies in the Republic of Lithuania is 15%, in 2010 - 15%. Tax losses can be carried forward for an indefinite period if the Company does not change its activities due to which these losses incurred, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.

Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.

Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets have been recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Earnings per share

The Company provides information on basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the company by the weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. During the financial year the Company did not issue any potential ordinary shares.

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company"s other components. All operating segments" operating results are reviewed regularly by the Company"s General Director to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Effect on financial statements of application of new standards and amendments and new interpretations to standards

The accounting policies applied by the Company coincide with the accounting policies of the previous year, except that the Company has implemented those new/revised standards and their interpretations, which are mandatory for financial periods starting on or before1 January 1 January 2011 and which are relevant to the Company"s activity:

• Revised IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosure" is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The amendment exempts a government-related entity from the disclosure requirements in relation to related party transactions and outstanding balances, including commitments, with (a) a government that has control, joint control or significant influence over the reporting entity; and (b) another entity that is a related party because the same government has control, joint control or significant influence over both the reporting entity and the other entity. The Company has no relationship with the state institutions, therefore the amendments to the Standard are not relevant to the Company"s financial statements.

• Amendment to IFRIC 14 / IAS 19 "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction" is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The amendment of IFRIC 14 addresses the accounting treatment for prepayments made when there is also a minimum funding requirements (MFR). Under the amendments, an entity is required to recognize certain prepayments as an asset on the basis that the entity has a future economic benefit from the prepayment in the form of reduced cash outflows in future years in which MFR payments would otherwise be required. The amendments to IFRIC 14 are not relevant to the Company"s financial statements as the Company does not have any defined benefit plans with minimum funding requirements.

Approved, but not yet effective standards and interpretations

A number of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards and their interpretations have been issued, which will become mandatory for the Company's financial statements in accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2012. The Company has decided not to apply the amendments and new standards and interpretations early. Below is the estimate of the Company's management regarding the potential effect of the new and revised standards and interpretations upon their first-time application:

Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures - Transfers of Financial Assets, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011 and to be applied prospectively. The Amendments require disclosure of information that enables users of financial statements: to understand the relationship between transferred financial assets that are not derecognised in their entirety and the associated liabilities; and to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity"s continuing involvement in derecognised financial assets. The amendment to IFRS 7 is not relevant to the Company"s financial statements as the Company does not have any transferred financial assets.

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.

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

Subsequent events

Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Company"s position at the statement of financial position date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Use of judgements and estimates (continued)

Fair value of derivatives

The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Company and counterparty when appropriate.

Determination of an effective hedge

On initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with teh methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Company makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value of cashf flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80% - 125%.

Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease

At inception of an arrangement the Company determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. This will be the case if the following two criteria are met:

• 1) The fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of the specific asset or assets and;
• 2) The arrangement contains a right to use the asset (s).

At inception or on reassessment of the arrangement, the Company separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Company concludes for a finance lease that is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Company"s incremental borrowing rate.

Impairment losses on property, plant and equipment

The carrying amounts of the Company's property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit).

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable value.

Use of judgements and estimates (continued)

Valuation of buildings

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties related to valuation of buildings is included in Note 10 "Property, plant and equipment".

Impairment losses on receivables

The Company reviews its receivables to assess impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Company makes judgments as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of receivables before the decrease can be identified with an individual receivable in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of debtors, national or local economic conditions that influence the Company of the receivables.

The management evaluates probable cash flows from the debtors based on historical loss experience related to the debtors with a similar credit risk. Methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

Useful lives for property, plant and equipment

Asset useful lives are assessed annually and changed when necessary to reflect current thinking on their remaining lives in light of technological change, prospective economic utilization and physical condition of the assets concerned.

Financial risk management

The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

• credit risk,
• liquidity risk,
• market risk,
• operational risk,
• capital management risk.

This note presents information about the Company"s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company"s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company"s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

Risk management framework

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company"s risk management framework. The Company"s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company"s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Financial risk management (continued)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company"s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

The Company manages foreign exchange risk by minimizing the net exposure to open foreign currency position. Further exposure to foreign exchange risk is disclosed in Note 26 Financial instruments and risk management.

The Company"s income and operating cash flows are in general independent of changes in market interest rates The Company use derivative instruments to hedge the interest rate risk (refer to Note 23). The Company does not have significant interest-bearing assets.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Company"s processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. Operational risks arise from all of the Company"s operations.

The Company"s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the Company"s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.

The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management. This responsibility is supported by the development of standards for the management of operational risk in the following areas:

• requirements for appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorization of transactions
• requirements for the reconciliation and monitoring of transactions
• compliance with regulatory and other legal requirements
• documentation of controls and procedures
• requirements for the periodic assessment of operational risks faced, and the adequacy of controls and procedures to address the risks identified
• requirements for the reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action
• development of contingency plans
• training and professional development
• ethical and business standards
• risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective

The note "Financial instruments and risk management" presents information about the Company"s exposure to each of the credit, liquidity and capital management risks, the Company"s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company"s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are also included throughout these annual financial statements.

1 Segment reporting

The Company has several reportable segments, as prescribed below.

Reportable segments are different product groups, which are managed separately because they require different technology and marketing strategies. For each of the product groups, the General Director reviews internal management reports on at least monthly basis.

The following summary describes the products in each of the Company"s reportable segments:

• Cheese and cheese products. Includes cheese and cheese products produced by the Company;
• Other products. Includes other products (except cheese) produced by the Company;
• Other dairy products. Includes other dairy products acquired for resale.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment gross profit, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the General Director. Segment gross profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results.

Segments results for the year ended 31 December 2011 are as follows:

Thousand Litas	Cheese and cheese products produced by the Company	Other products	Other dairy products acquired for resale	Total
Sales	109,719	98,486	80,722	288,927
Cost of sales	-105,187	-90,683	-78,202	-274,072

Pledges

To secure bank loans, the Company has pledged its property, plant and equipment with a book value of 30,083 tLTL as at 31 December 2011 (2010 : 33,036 tLTL) (refer to note 19).

Acquisition cost of depreciated property, plant and equipment in use amounts to 13,203 tLTL as at 31 December 2011 ( 2010 : 9,539 tLTL).

Leased property, plant and equipment

The Company has acquired cars, machinery and equipment, constructions and other equipment by way of finance lease. The carrying amount of the leased assets amounted to 3,513 tLTL as at 31 December 2011 (2010 : 3,381 tLTL). The leasing liabilities are secured by pledging the leased assets (note 19).

Revaluation

Buildings are recognized at revalued amounts, being the estimated fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Last revaluation was done in December 2010 by independent appraisals.

During 2011 there were no significant changes in the real estate market and the management is of the opinion that there was no need to perform an evaluation of the buildings at the end of 2011 and to make any adjustments to the value of the buildings presented in the financial statements for 2011.

If the buildings were carried at cost model, the carrying amount recognized as at 31 December 2011 would be 9,517 tLTL (2010 : 9,976 tLTL).

Sensitivity analysis

The functional currency of the Company is Litas (LTL). As the exchange rate of LTL to EUR is fixed at 3.4528 LTL / EUR, the Company a faces foreign currency risk on purchases and sales that are denominated in currencies other than EUR. The main part of the Company"s transactions in 2011 year are denominated in LTL and EUR, therefore the Company did not expose to significant foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company"s borrowings bear variable interest rates related to EURIBOR/LIBOR + margin. The average effective interest rate in 2011 was close to the interest rate actually paid during 2011.

If the effective interest rate applied on the Company"s borrowings with variable interest rates increases (or decreases) by 1 percent, the interest costs for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the profit for the year would decrease (or increase) by approximately 330 tLTL (2010 : 277 tLTL).

The Company has entered into three interest rate swap agreement with a bank, by which it by which it partially hedges its exposure to significant interest rate fluctuations. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, amounting to 1,397 tLTL (2010 : 31 tLTL) is included in the item of derivative financial instruments.

At the reporting date the interest rate profile of the Company"s interest-bearing financial instruments was as follows:

Thousand Litas	Carrying amount
	2011	2010
Fixed rate financial instruments
AB Kelmės Pieninė loan	2,600	2,600
	2,600	2,600

According to the agreement, the loan from AB Kelmės Pieninė bears a fixed interest rate. Therefore, changes in interest rates would not have influence on profit or loss at the reporting date.

In such a case, the supervisory board is responsible for the effective monitoring of the functions performed by the company"s chief executive officer.	No	The company does not follow this recommendation, where a company chooses to form only one collegial body, as Management Board is the one collegial body. The company does not follow the Recommendation 2.3 of the Governance Code – at present the only collegial body of the company is a management body, not a supervisory one. The management body of the company implements the supervisory functions as well.
2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected by the general shareholders" meeting should be set up and should act in the manner defined in Principles III and IV. Where a company should decide not to set up a collegial supervisory body but rather a collegial management body, i.e. the board, Principles III and IV should apply to the board as long as that does not contradict the essence and purpose of this body.1	Yes	Management Board ellects and recalls the chief executive officer, sets his remuneration, other working conditions, approves Staff Regulations, induces him and imposes penalties.
2.5. Company"s management and supervisory bodies should comprise such number of board (executive directors) and supervisory (non executive directors) board members that no individual or small group of individuals can dominate decision-making on the part of these bodies.2	Yes	At present, in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Management Board of the company is composed of 6 members who are appointed for the period of four years. The number of members of the collegial body is sufficient to dominate decision-making.
2.6. Non-executive directors or members of the supervisory board should be appointed for	Yes	In accordance with the Articles of Association, the members of the Management Board are appointed for the

¹ Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders" meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body that is essentially formed to ensure oversight of the company"s board and the chief executive officer and to represent the company"s shareholders. However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board, should not be applied to the board, as the competence and functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) are different. For instance, item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive officer of the company, but not of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the provision of recommendations to the company"s chief executive officer; item 4.4 of the Code concerning independence of the collegial body elected by the general meeting from the company"s management bodies is applied to the extent it concerns independence from the chief executive officer.

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

specified terms subject to individual re-election, at maximum intervals provided for in the Lithuanian legislation with a view to ensuring necessary development of professional experience and sufficiently frequent reconfirmation of their status. A possibility to remove them should also be stipulated however this procedure should not be easier than the removal procedure for an executive director or a member of the management board.		period of four years without limiting the number of their terms of office. The Articles of Association provides the company with the possibility to withdraw the whole Management Board or any of its members. The withdrawal of a member of the Management Board should be based on the legislation.
2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting may be a person whose current or past office constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent and impartial supervision. Where a company should decide not to set up a supervisory board but rather the board, it is recommended that the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company should be a different person. Former company"s chief executive officer should not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting. When a company chooses to departure from these recommendations, it should furnish information on the measures it has taken to ensure impartiality of the supervision.	No	The company does not follow the Recommendation 2.7 because the chairman of the Management Board is Director General of the Company. The independence of supervision is guaranteed by other five members of the Management Board.

Principle III: The order of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders" meeting

The order of the formation a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders" meeting should ensure representation of minority shareholders, accountability of this body to the shareholders and objective monitoring of the company"s operation and its management bodies.³

3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders" meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the "collegial body") should ensure objective and fair monitoring of the company"s management bodies as well as representation of minority shareholders.	Yes	While electing the collegial body of the company, the shareholders may take the cognizance of comprehensive information about the candidates early enough before the meeting of the shareholders and during it as well.
3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to become members of a collegial body, information about their education, qualification, professional background, positions taken and potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed early enough before the general shareholders" meeting so that the shareholders would have sufficient time to make an informed voting decision. All factors affecting the candidate"s independence, the sample list of which is set out in Recommendation 3.7, should be also disclosed. The collegial body should also be informed on any subsequent changes in the provided information. The collegial body should, on yearly basis, collect data provided in this item on its members and disclose this in the company"s annual report.	Yes	The company follows all provisions that are indicated in this recommendation, moreover, the company could additionally mention the document (such as the operating regulation of that body), if any, which determines the specific order of data exchange among the member of that collegial body. The company accumulates and discloses the entire information about the members of collegial body, their professional education, qualification and conflicts of interest, following the order set out in these recommendations.

³ Attention should be drawn to the fact that in the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the board, it is natural that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single-person body of management, i.e. the company"s chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.

3.3. Should a person be nominated for members of a collegial body, such nomination should be followed by the disclosure of information on candidate"s particular competences relevant to his/her service on the collegial body. In order shareholders and investors are able to ascertain whether member"s competence is further relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual report, disclose the information on its composition and particular competences of individual members which are relevant to their service on the collegial body.	Yes	The company could comprehensively comment the implemented practice (for instance, prior to the announcement of company"s annual report to the shareholders, each member of collegial body informs the collegial body about the in-service trainings, relevant to their service on the collegial body, which she/he has attended within the last accounting year). During the meetings of the shareholders, curriculum vitae of candidates to become members of the Management Board are presented, which include such information as their education, professional background, etc. Information about the composition of the Management Board is set out in the reports of the company.
3.4. In order to maintain a proper balance in terms of the current qualifications possessed by its members, the collegial body should determine its desired composition with regard to the company"s structure and activities, and have this periodically evaluated. The collegial body should ensure that it is composed of members who, as a whole, have the required diversity of knowledge, judgment and experience to complete their tasks properly. The members of the audit committee, collectively, should have a recent knowledge and relevant experience in the fields of finance, accounting and/or audit for the stock exchange listed companies. At least one of the members of the remuneration committee should have knowledge of and experience in the field of remuneration policy.	Yes	The company follows the recommendations set out in this clause. The members of the Management Board of the company have required diversity of knowledge, judgment and experience to complete their tasks properly. The members of Audit Committee have relevant experience and a recent knowledge in the fields of accounting and audit.
3.5. All new members of the collegial body should be offered a tailored program focused on introducing a member with his/her duties, corporate organization and activities. The collegial body should conduct an annual review to identify fields where its members need to update their skills and knowledge.	Yes	Members of the Management Board constantly take part in various refresher courses and seminars where they are provided with the information about the essential changes in legislation that regulates the activity of the company. Moreover, in case of necessity, the members of the Management Board either individually or during the meetings of the Management Board are also informed about the other changes, which have an impact on the activity of the company.
3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest related with a member of the collegial body are resolved properly, the collegial body should comprise a sufficient4 number of independent5 members.	No	The company does not follow the Recommendation 3.6 of the Governance Code as the company neither has defined the independence criteria of a member of the Management Board nor has discussed the content of "sufficiency" concept of independent members.
3.7. A member of the collegial body should be	No	The company has not defined the independence criteria of

⁴ The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to the novelty of the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

⁵ It is notable that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes of the majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body elected by the majority shareholders may be considered independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

a member of the Management Board.

considered to be independent only if he is free of any business, family or other relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder or the management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all cases when member of the collegial body is likely to become dependent are impossible to list, moreover, relationships and circumstances associated with the determination of independence may vary amongst companies and the best practices of solving this problem are yet to evolve in the course of time, assessment of independence of a member of the collegial body should be based on the contents of the relationship and circumstances rather than their form. The key criteria for identifying whether a member of the collegial body can be considered to be independent are the following:

• 1) He/she is not an executive director or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the supervisory board) of the company or any associated company and has not been such during the last five years;
• 2) He/she is not an employee of the company or some any company and has not been such during the last three years, except for cases when a member of the collegial body does not belong to the senior management and was elected to the collegial body as a representative of the employees;
• 3) He/she is not receiving or has been not receiving significant additional remuneration from the company or associated company other than remuneration for the office in the collegial body. Such additional remuneration includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations);
• 4) He/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);
• 5) He/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated company within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a major supplier or service provider (inclusive of financial, legal, counseling and consulting services), major client or organization receiving significant payments from the company or its group;

6) He/she is not and has not been, during the last three years, partner or employee of the current or former external audit company of the company or associated company; 7) He/she is not an executive director or member of the board in some other company where executive director of the company or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the supervisory board) is non-executive director or member of the supervisory board, he/she may not also have any other material relationships with executive directors of the company that arise from their participation in activities of other companies or bodies; 8) He/she has not been in the position of a member of the collegial body for over than 12 years; 9) He/she is not a close relative to an executive director or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the supervisory board) or to any person listed in above items 1 to 8. Close relative is considered to be a spouse (common-law spouse), children and parents. 3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body may decide that, despite a particular member meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, he cannot be considered independent due to special personal or company-related circumstances.	Not applicable	The company has not defined the independence criteria of a member of the Management Board.
3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial body has come to in its determination of whether a particular member of the body should be considered to be independent should be disclosed. When a person is nominated to become a member of the collegial body, the company should disclose whether it considers the person to be independent. When a particular member of the collegial body does not meet one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code, the company should disclose its reasons for nevertheless considering the member to be independent. In addition, the company should annually disclose which members of the collegial body it considers to be independent.	No	The company has not implemented the practice of evaluation and disclosure of independence criteria of a member of the Management Board.
3.10. When one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code has not been met throughout the year, the company should disclose its reasons for considering a particular member of the collegial body to be independent. To ensure accuracy of the information disclosed in relation with the independence of the members of the collegial body, the company should require independent	No	The company has not implemented the practice of evaluation and disclosure of independence criteria of a member of the Management Board.

members to have their independence
periodically re-confirmed.
3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial body for their work and participation in the meetings of the collegial body, they may be remunerated from the company"s funds.6. The general shareholders" meeting should approve the amount of such remuneration.	Yes	Members of the Management Board are paid tantjems for their service on the Management Board.
		Principle IV: The duties and liabilities of a collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting
The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring7 of the company"s management bodies and protection of interests of all the company"s shareholders.
4.1. The collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the "collegial body") should ensure integrity and transparency of the company"s financial statements and the control system. The collegial body should issue recommendations to the company"s management bodies and monitor and control the company"s management performance.8	Yes	The Management Board ensures the integrity and transparency of the company"s financial statements and the control system, evaluates the project of company"s annual financial statements and the project of profit (loss) distribution and submits them to the general shareholders" meeting.
4.2. Members of the collegial body should act in good faith, with care and responsibility for the benefit and in the interests of the company and its shareholders with due regard to the interests of employees and public welfare. Independent members of the collegial body should (a) under all circumstances maintain independence of their analysis, decision-making and actions (b) do not seek and accept any unjustified privileges that might compromise their independence, and (c) clearly express their objections should a member consider that decision of the collegial body is against the interests of the company. Should a collegial body have passed decisions independent member has serious doubts about, the member should make adequate conclusions. Should an independent member resign from his office, he should explain the reasons in a letter addressed to the collegial body or audit committee and, if necessary, respective company-not-pertaining body (institution).	Yes	Basing on company"s data, the members of the Management Board act in good will with regard to the company, follow the interests of the company, not the interests of their own or of the third parties, act in conformity with the principles of fairness and prudence, under an obligation of confidentiality and with due responsibility, thus they aim at maintaining the independence of decision-making.
4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time	Yes	In the year 2011 the members of the Management Board

⁶It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) provides that members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in the supervisory board or the board by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by Article 59 of this Law, i.e. from the company"s profit. The current wording, contrary to the wording effective before 1 January 2004, eliminates the exclusive requirement that annual bonuses (tantiems) should be the only form of the company"s compensation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So it seems that the Law contains no prohibition to remunerate members of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either. 7 See Footnote 3.

⁸ See Footnote 3. In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the board, it should provide recommendations to the company"s single-person body of management, i.e. the company"s chief executive officer.

and attention to perform his duties as a member of the collegial body. Each member of the collegial body should limit other professional obligations of his (in particular any directorships held in other companies) in such a manner they do not interfere with proper performance of duties of a member of the collegial body. In the event a member of the collegial body should be present in less than a half9 of the meetings of the collegial body throughout the financial year of the company, shareholders of the company should be notified.		held the meetings of the Management Board (each meeting had the proper quorum) and each member devoted sufficient time to perform her/his duties as a member of the Management Board.
4.4. Where decisions of a collegial body may have a different effect on the company"s shareholders, the collegial body should treat all shareholders impartially and fairly. It should ensure that shareholders are properly informed on the company"s affairs, strategies, risk management and resolution of conflicts of interest. The company should have a clearly established role of members of the collegial body when communicating with and committing to shareholders.	Yes	The management bodies of the company, prior to making material decisions, discuss their impact on shareholders and seeking to ensure that all shareholders are properly informed on the company"s affairs, strategies, risk management, announce the main information about the company"s activity in the periodical reports.
4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except insignificant ones due to their low value or concluded when carrying out routine operations in the company under usual conditions), concluded between the company and its shareholders, members of the supervisory or managing bodies or other natural or legal persons that exert or may exert influence on the company"s management should be subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed adopted only provided the majority of the independent members of the collegial body voted for such a decision.	Yes	The management bodies of the company enter into transactions following the legislation and approved Articles of Association, for the attainment of benefit and welfare to the company.
4.6. The collegial body should be independent in passing decisions that are significant for the company"s operations and strategy. Taken separately, the collegial body should be independent of the company"s management bodies10. Members of the collegial body should act and pass decisions without an outside influence from the persons who have elected it. Companies should ensure that the collegial body and its committees are provided with sufficient administrative and financial resources to discharge their duties, including the right to obtain, in particular from employees of the company, all the necessary information or to seek independent legal, accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining to the competence of	Yes	In all senses the Management Board makes decisions on the interest of the company. The Management Board of the company and its committees are provided with entire resources that are necessary to exercise their functions. Under the necessity, the employees of the company take part in the meetings of the Management Board and committees and present all the necessary information that is relevant to the issues under discussion. Remuneration committee ensures that consultants and specialists, who provides information on market standards for remuneration systems, do not at the same time advise the human resources departments of the company, members of executive and management bodies on the issues related with company.

⁹ It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should be informed about failure to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the collegial body participated at less than 2/3 or 3/4 of the meetings. Such measures, which ensure active participation in the meetings of the collegial body, are encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

¹⁰ In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders" meeting is the board, the recommendation concerning its independence from the company"s management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the independence from the company"s chief executive officer.

the collegial body and its committees. When using the services of a consultant with a view to obtaining information on market standards for remuneration systems, the remuneration committee should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at the same time advise the human resources department, executive directors or collegial management organs of the company concerned.
4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organised in a manner that independent members of the collegial body could have major influence in relevant areas where chances of occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be considered as highly relevant are issues of nomination of company"s directors, determination of directors" remuneration and control and assessment of company"s audit. Therefore when the mentioned issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish nomination, remuneration, and audit committees11. Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to the nomination, remuneration, and audit committees are carried out. However they may decide to merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three different committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise small number of members, the functions assigned to the three committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition requirements advocated for the committees and that adequate information is provided in this respect. In such case provisions of this Code relating to the committees of the collegial body (in particular with respect to their role, operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a whole.	Yes	Vilkyskiu pienine AB has 2 committees: Nomination and Remuneration Committee and Audit Committee. The Management Board forms the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. General Meeting of Shareholders approves the members and the regulations of activity of the Audit committee.
4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase efficiency of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring that decisions are based on due consideration, and to help organize its work with a view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free of material conflicts of interest. Committees should exercise independent judgement and integrity when exercising its functions as well as present the collegial body with recommendations concerning the decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on creation of committees is not intended, in principle, to constrict the competence of the collegial body or to remove the matters considered from the purview of the collegial body itself, which remains fully	Yes	The key objective of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to provide the bodies of the company and persons, who nominate or elect members of the management bodies and executive officers of the company, with recommendations and to ensure the transparent policy, principles and order of the settlement of remuneration to members of the management bodies and executive officers. The Committee provides the Management Board with help while supervising (i) election and nomination of the chief executive office and other executive officers, (ii) the settlement of remuneration to the members of the Management Board, to the chief executive office and to other executive officers. Audit Committee exercises independent judgement and integrity when exercising its functions. Its key objective is to observe the preparation process of financial statements, to supervise performance of audit of financial

¹¹ The Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Audit (Official Gazette, 2008, No 82-53233) determines that an Audit Committee shall be formed in each public interest entity (including, but not limited to public companies whose securities are traded in the regulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or any other member state).

responsible for the decisions taken in its field of competence.		accountability of the company, to supervise how Audit Company keeps to the principles of independency and objectivity, and to supervise the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems. The Committee provides the Management Board of the company with help while supervising (i) disclosure quality and consistency of financial, accounting and other relevant documents, (ii) the qualification of an independent auditor, his/her independency and proper performance of his/her office, (iii) the implementation of internal control.
4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should normally be composed of at least three members. In companies with small number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally be composed of two members. Majority of the members of each committee should be constituted from independent members of the collegial body. In cases when the company chooses not to set up a supervisory board, remuneration and audit committees should be entirely comprised of non-executive directors.	Yes	Each committee of the company is composed of 3 members.
Chairmanship and membership of the committees should be decided with due regard to the need to ensure that committee membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is not placed on particular individuals.
4.10. Authority of each of the committees should be determined by the collegial body. Committees should perform their duties in line with authority delegated to them and inform the collegial body on their activities and performance on regular basis. Authority of every committee stipulating the role and rights and duties of the committee should be made public at least once a year (as part of the information disclosed by the company annually on its corporate governance structures and practices). Companies should also make public annually a statement by existing committees on their composition, number of meetings and attendance over the year, and their main activities. Audit committee should confirm that it is satisfied with the independence of the audit process and describe briefly the actions it has taken to reach this conclusion.	Yes	The activity of Nomination and Remuneration Committee is regulated by Regulations Statute Rules approved by the Management Board. The Regulations of Activity of Audit Committee is approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders. Both committees on a regular basis inform the collegial body on their activities and performance.
4.11. In order to ensure independence and impartiality of the committees, members of the collegial body that are not members of the committee should commonly have a right to participate in the meetings of the committee only if invited by the committee. A committee may invite or demand participation in the meeting of particular officers or experts. Chairman of each of the committees should have a possibility to maintain direct communication with the shareholders. Events when such are to be performed should be specified in the regulations for committee activities.	Yes	If necessary, the employees of the company, who are responsible for the spheres of activity that are discussed by the committee, participate in the meetings of the committees and provide the committees with entire required information.

4.12. Nomination Committee. 4.12.1. Key functions of the nomination committee should be the following:	Yes	The functions of nomination committee, which are set out in this recommendation, basically are carried out by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the
1) Identify and recommend, for the approval of the collegial body, candidates to fill board vacancies.

4.13. Remuneration Committee. 4.13.1. Key functions of the remuneration committee should be the following: 1) Make proposals, for the approval of the collegial body, on the remuneration policy for members of management bodies and executive directors. Such policy should address all forms of compensation, including the fixed remuneration, performance-based remuneration schemes, pension arrangements, and termination payments.
