The mission of the Company - profitable and competitive Kaunas region energy production, supply and distribution company with which it's consumer will have no problems. The Company - modern, effective and friendly to the environment technology and management, positive Company's public image.
The strategic aim of the Group is to maintain current position in the market and to expand it. Special attention to the consumer, high work quality are the main values and aims on which the Group's employees are based. In order to remain competitive in the market and to offer high quality services for the constantly to improve quality and efficiency of services of heat supply and maintenance of buildings engineering systems, to improve reliability of heat supply and to increase efficiency of energy generation.
External risk factors influencing the Group are inflation, economical crisis, unfavourable governmental laws and orders, local self-government decisions, price policy.
Economic factors. Company covers the main heat supplier position. In order to maintain it, it is important to adapt to the changing energy supply conditions, to further implement modern and efficient technologies, to provide quality service to the consumers.
The sales of the Company depend on the heat energy consumption which directly depends on the outside temperature during heating season, on development speed of heat sales market and on investments of consumers into heat energy efficiency improvement. During the connection of new consumers attention is paid to the heat supply development possibilities. The heat insulation of buildings and reconstruction of heating systems will reduce heat demand of buildings and consumers because of rational the temperature of rooms can reduce heat consumption. On the other conditions can influence increased consumption of heat
Currently economical situation influences the increase in purchasing power of population. Commercial and service sector grows. The worsening of economical situation would influence the results of heat supply and buildings supervision services.
For the energy generation the main used fuel is natural gas. Increasing prices of the heat and electric energy production cost price and to the purchased from the closed-end company Kauno Termofikacinė Elektrinė (Kaunas Power Plant).
The competition of gas and electricity supply companies with the Company is displayed by the disconnections of the consumers from the district heating system (during 2007 - 1.46 MW) and by the choosing of alternative heat source (gas, electricity or other fuel). The choice of the fuel kind is regulated by the Kaunas city council decision 'Order of the heat consument recomections from the heat supply system and lodgings or building heating way change'.
Essentially the management of the Group and the Company was restructured in 2004.
The activity of the Group and the Company is cyclic. During heating season (October - April) the biggest income is being received; during non heating season the production facilities of the Company are used partially and during this period income is the lowest, but during it the Group and the Company have to prepare for the heating season (reconstruction and maintenance works are being implemented in the heat supply networks and boiler-houses, engineering systems of the buildings).
Political factors. Kaunas city municipality has the control package of the Company's shares and in accordance with the Lithuanian Republic laws can set certain obligatory works, heat energy supply conditions and orders to the the Group and the Company. According to the heat energy price calculation project prepared by the Company the base price of the Group's and the Company's supplied heat energy is deternined by the State Prices and Energy Control Commission and the Council of Municipality in compliance with the base price determined by the Commission sets the price for heat supplied through the base price is recalculated annually according to activity efficiency increase index supplier and to the correction coefficients set by the Commission: inflation correction coefficient, fuel prices changes correction coefficient of change in sold heat, other factors correction oefficient. If the recalculated heat price does not differ from the valid heat prices by more than 1 % then it is possible not to change the valid price. The main shareholde for the election of the members of the Supervisory Board which control the management of the Company.
Social factors. The activity of the Group is significant to many residents and companies of the Kaunas region. Mostly the Group gets claims for the value of bills, services of low quality, insufficient attention to the customers.
Technical-technological factors. The most inside risk is caused by the heat supply systems and their current condition. Insufficient automatisation level in the heat production infrastructure causes large need of hand work. Heat supply systems maintained by the Company are reconstructed using the most advanced technologies (poliurethane-foam isolated pipes, for which there is no need for ferroconcrete channels, simpler drainage system) and equipments aiming to increase the efficiency of those systems.
The Country's valid standards and acts which the European Union standards and acts in the field of regulation of qualitative and technical data of heat supply to make large investments into modernization of Company's asset. The economical status of the Group and the Company still condition insufficient into reconstruction of heat supply networks. renovation and rehabilitation of the equipment of the Group and the Company.
Ecological factors. The Group and the requirements of the Helsinki Commission (HELCOM) and the Helsinki Convention for environmental limitations of combustion products. The main pollution sources are the pollution of the atmosphere - organic fuel burning, water pollution. The Company pays taxes for the atmosphere and water pollution every quarter. According to the Lithuanian Republic laws fines are paid if the allowable norms of permitted pollutions and yearly limits have been exceeded. The main aims of the Group and the Company for the reduction of pollutants emission of the heat transfer losses through the installation of pipes with the polius inplementation of the new technological equipment and improvement of existing ones, the use of more environmental friendly fuel and constant monitoring of the pollution (in the balance of the fiel natural gas dominates - 70 %, heavy fuel oil - 17 %, peat - 7 %, biogas - 4 %, wood residues - 2 %).

| 3.7. A member of the collegial body should be 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 dependant 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: · 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; · 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; · 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.

The Company's management approved these financial statements on 29 February 2008. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve the financial statements after the Company's management approves these financial statements.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter EU).
The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations during the year. Adoption of these revised standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial performance or position of the Group. They did, however, give rise to additional disclosures:
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. This standard requires that enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the significance of the Group's financial instruments and extent of risks arising from those financial instruments. The new disclosures are included throughout the financial statements. While there has been no effect on the financial position or results, comparative information has been revised where needed.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This amendment requires the Group to make new disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the Group's objectives, policies and processes for managing capital.
IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies". This interpretation provides guidance on how to apply the requirements of IAS 29 in a reporting period in which an entity identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency, when that economy was not hyperinflationary in the prior period. The interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2. This interpretation requires IFRS 2 to be applied to any arrangements in which the entity cannot identify specifically some or all of the goods received, in particular where equity instruments are issued for consideration which appears to be less than fair value. As equity instruments are not issued to employees, the interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. IFRIC 9 states that the date to assess the existence of an embedded derivative is the date that an entity first becomes a party to the contract, with reassessment only if there is a change to the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows. The interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. The Group adopted IFRIC Interpretation 10 as of 1 January 2007, which requires that an entity must not reverse an impairment loss recognised in a previous interim period in respect of goodwill or an investment in either an equity instrument or a financial as et carried at cost. As the Group had no impairment losses previously reversed, the interpretation had no impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
CONSOLIDATED AND PARENT COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR 2007 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Group has not applied the following IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
CONSOLIDATED AND PARENT COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR 2007 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Group and the Company expect that the adoption of the pronouncements listed above will have no significant impact on the Group's financial statements in the period of initial application, except for IFRS 8 Operating IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Revised, IAS 23 Borrowing Costs – Revised and IFRIC 12 Service Concession Agreements.
This standard requires disclosure of information about the Group's operating segments and replaced the requirement to determine primary (business) and secondary (geographical) reporting segments of the Group has preliminary assessed that the operating segments were the business segments identified under IAS 14 Segment Reporting.
This standard sets out new requirements on the statement of changes in equity and introduces a new statement of comprehensive income that combines all tems of income and expense recognised in profit or loss together with "other comprehensive income" and requires a separate disclosure of all items reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit and loss as well as disclosure of the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. Also, requirements related to the presentation of the financial statements in a case of their retrospective restatement are amended and new terminology, replacing "balance sheet" with "statement of financial position" and "cash flow statement" with "statement of cash flows", although the titles are not obligatory, is introduced. The Group is still evaluating the impact of the adoption of this revision.
Accordingly, borrowing costs will be capitalised on qualifying assets with a commencement date after 1 January 2009. No changes will be made for borrowing costs incurred to this date that have been expensed. The Group cannot currently quantify the effect of this change.
This interpretation applies to service concession operators and explains how to account for obligations undertaken and rights received in service concession agreements. The Group is still evaluating the impact of this interpretation.
The Group will apply new standards and interpretations when they are effective
The amounts shown in these financial statements are measured in the local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, litas (LTL).
Starting from 2 February 2002, Lithuanian litas is pegged to EUR at the rate of 3.4528 litas for 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Kauno Energija and it's subsidiary. The control is normally evidenced when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 % of the voting rights of a company's share capital and/or is able to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities. The equity and net income attributable to minority shareholders' interests are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement.
The purchase method of accounting is used for acquired businesses. The Company accounts for the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities of another company at their fair value at acquisition date. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the business combination over the Group's share in the net fair value of the of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The goodwill is stated at cost, less in the financial statements. Negative goodwill is recognised as income statement for the reporting period. The goodwill is presented in the stand alone financial statements of the Company in the same line as the investment into the acquired company. In the consolidated financial statements goodwill related subsidiaries is presented under the intangible assets caption.
The goodwill is not amortised, however the impairment loss is evaluated every year and is recognised as expenses for the period, when occurred. The impairment of goodwill in future periods is not reversed.
Companies acquired or sold during a year are included into the financial statements from the date of acquisition or until the date of sale.
Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits and losses, are eliminated on consolidation.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the same accounting principles applied to similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances
In separate financial statements of the Company investments into subsidiaries and associated companies are accounted for applying the cost method.
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (3 - 4 years).
Amounts paid for licenses are capitalised and then amortised over useful live (3 - 4 years)
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits of performance of the existing software systems are recognised as an expense for the period when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
The Group and the Company apply a 'net liability' approach in accounting for the emission rights received. It records the emission allowances granted to it at nominal amount, as permitted by IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Liabilities for emissions are recognised only as emissions are made (i.e. provisions are never made on the basis of expected future emissions) and only when the reporting entity has made emissions in excess of the rights held.
When applying the net liability approach, the Group and the Company have chosen a system that measures deficits on the basis of an annual allocation of emission rights.
The outright sale of an emission right is recorded as a sale at the value of consideration received. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received and its carrying amount is recorded as a gain or loss, irrespective of whether this creates an actual or an expected deficit of the allowances held. When a sale creates an actual deficit an additional liability is recognised with a charge to the income statement.
Property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
When assets are sold or retired, their cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment are eliminated from the accounting records, and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the income statement.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the income statement in the period the costs are incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 7 - 50 |
| Structures and machinery | 5 - 60 |
| Vehicles | 3 - 10 |
| Equipment and tools | 2 - 20 |
| Other non-current assets | 2 - 30 |
The useful lives are reviewed annually to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items in property, plant and equipment.
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and other directly attributable costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and put into operation.
Assets temporarily not in use in the Company's operations are accounted for under the other property, plant and equipment caption. Some of these assets are leased for their depreciation. Depreciation for assets that are not in use is calculated.
According to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables-forsale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not af fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The category 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' includes financial as held for trading Financial assets are classified as held for trading if the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in income.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group and the Company have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in income when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
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 amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in income when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
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 and gain or losses from foreign currencies exchange) being recognised as a separate component of equity until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the income statement. The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation technique includes 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.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after impairment evaluation for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Technological fuel is accounted for using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable costs. Unrealisable inventory is written off.
Cash includes cash on hand, cash at banks and cash in transit. 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, cash in transit, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, less the costs of transaction. They are subsequently carried at amortised cost, the difference between the value at the inception value being recognised in the net profit or loss over the period of the borrowings.
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 fuffillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of specific asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Leases where the Group and the Company transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as finance leases. The Group and the Company recognise lease receivables at the net investment in the lease, starting from the date of commencement of the lease term. Finance income is based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding. Initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of the lease receivables
Leases where the Group and the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The Group presents assets subject to operating leases in the balance sheets according to the nature of the asset. Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term as other income. Initial direct costs incurred specifically to earn revenues from an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset.
The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with the Group's depreciation policy for similar assets, and depreciation is calculated in accordance with the accounting policies, used for the property, plant and equipment.
Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line base term.
The gains from discounts provided by the lessor are recognised as a decrease over the period of the lease using the straight-line method.
If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The profit is then deferred and amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.
Grants received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of noncurrent assets are considered as asset-related grants. Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognized as deferred income in equal annual amounts over the expected useful life of related asset. In the income statement, a relevant is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation.
Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.
The balance of unutilised grants is shown in the caption "Grants (deferred income)" in the balance sheet.
Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the Lithuanian tax legislation.
Standard income tax rate applied to the Company is 15%. On 1 January 2006 the Provisional Social Tax Law came into effect in the Republic of Lithuania, which stipulates that along with the corporate income tax, for one financial year beginning on 1 January 2006, companies had to pay an additional 4% tax calculated based on the income tax principles, and for the following year a 3% tax starting from 1 January 2007. After the year 2007 the income tax applied to the companies in the Republic of Lithuania will be standard, i.e. 15%.
Tax losses can be carried for 5 consecutive years, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and (or) derivative financial instruments that can be carried forward for 3 consecutive years. The losses from disposal of securities and (or) derivative financial instruments can only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets have been recognised in the balance sheet to the Group's and the Company's management believes it will be realised in the foreseable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.
Income from overdue interest is recognised upon receipt.
Expenses are recognised on the basis of accrual and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.
The amount of expenses is usually accounted for as the amount paid or due, excluding VAT. In those cases when a long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses is estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.
CONSOLIDATED AND PARENT COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR 2007 (all amounts are in LTL thousand unless otherwise stated)
Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevalling at the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and lighilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are recognised in the income statement. Such balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at period-end exchange rates.
Financial assets are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, whenever it is probable that the Group and the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, an impairment or bad debt loss is recognised in the income statement. The reversal of impairment losses previously 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 recognised to the extent it does not exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit or loss. Reversals of impairments are reversed through profit or loss, if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.
In relation to trade and other receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of 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 derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.
Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. Reversal is accounted for in the same caption of income statement as impairment losses. For evaluation of impairment of assets the entire Company is considered one cash generating unit.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
In the process of applying the Group's and the Company's accounting policies, management has made the following judgment, apart from those involving estimations, which has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:
The Group and the Company has entered into leases contracts on vehicles. The Group and the Company has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these prooerties and so accounts for the contracts as finance leases.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
The key assumptions concerning determination the of property, plant and equipment are as follows: expected usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in the services, legal or similar limits on the use of the expiry dates of related leases. Further details are given in Note 2.
The Group and the Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at each reporting date. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Further details are contained in Note 20.
The activities of the Group and the Company are organised in one major business and geographical segment.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits is probable.
Post-balance sheet events that provide additional information about the Group's and the Company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-balance sheet events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain IFRS specifically require such set-off.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to correspond to the presentation of the current year.

The Group and the Company do not have any credit concentration risk because it works with a large number of customers.
The Group and the Company do not guarantee obligations of the other parties.
With respect to trade receivables and other receivables that are neither impaired nor past due, there are no indications as of the reporting date that the debtors will not meet their payments obligations since receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis . The Group and the Company consider that its maximum exposure is reflected by the amount of trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts recognised at the balance sheet date (Note 8).
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial investments, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.
All of the Group's and the Company's borrowings are at variable interest rates, therefore the Group and the Company faces an interest rate risk. In 2007 the Group and the Company did not have financial instruments for managing the interest rate risk.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (increase and decrease in basis points was determined based on Lithuanian economic environment and the Company's historical experience), with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's equity, other than current year profit impact.
