The financial statements as of 31 December 2018 of the Group also haven't been audited. For a better understanding of the information presented in these financial statements, these condensed financial statements should be read together with the annual financial statements of 2018 of the Company and Get Baltic. UAB Deloitte Lietuva carried out an audit of Annual Financial Statements for the year that ended on 31 December 2018.The Group's and the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2019 were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group and the Company have been following the same accounting principles as the ones that were followed in the preparation of financial statements for the year 2018.

The statements were prepared based on an acquisition cost, excluding tangible fixed assets, which were presented at revalued amount.

As of 2017, after the Group and the Company changed its accounting policy in accordance with the accounting principles of fixed assets of EPSO-G UAB group companies, assets are accounted at revalued amount deducting accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, whereas grants are accounted for by reducing the carrying amount of the related asset.

The Group and Company applied IFRS 16 starting from 1 January 2019, on initial application of IFRS 16, the lease liability will be initially measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's additional borrowing rate at the date of initial application. The Group and the Company recognizes an asset that is controlled by the right to use with value that is equal to the lease liabilities.

The Company applies the IFRS 16 a modified retrospective method, which means that the comparative figures are not recalculated. The general impact of applying IFRS 16 is recognized in 1 January 2019.

The Group and the Company recognised depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities in the profit (loss) statement; and separate the total amount of cash paid into a principal portion and interest, both presented in separate lines within financing activities in the statement of cash flows.

The only material operating lease agreement relates the Group and the Company to rent of premises and car parking spaces for the registered office of the Company. The Group and the Company holds an option to extend the lease term by up to 3 years. If extended for the full period of the lease term the Company would be end in May 2024, or the GET Baltic end in April 2027. Management estimates that the Group and the Company will use this opportunity and therefore included the period covered by the option into the lease term when measuring the lease liability and right-of-use asset. The summary of the financial impact on adopting IFRS 16 is presented in the table below:

Group Company
31 December 1 January 31 December 1 January
2019 2019 2019 2019
Right-of-use assets 736 749 585 749

Lease liability - non-current portion 585 618 455 618
Expected impact on profit (loss) statement:
Increase of depreciation 151 134
Other changes 30) (30)

The Company also makes payments to municipalities for use of state-owned land, which hosts certain equipment of the Company. Generally, the Company obtains a right to use such land for 99 years with a possibility to extend the term. Amounts to be paid to the state treasury are calculated as a product of a) the cadastral value of land which can be reassessed by municipalities every 3 years, and b) tax rate determined by municipalities. The Company is currently evaluating whether land lease payments to municipalities in substance are variable payments and are not linked to any ratio or index, reflecting changes in any rental market, therefore these agreements aren't in scope of IFRS 16. The Company made total payments of EUR 25 thousand for use of approximately 200 plots of state-owned land in 2018, or during the period ended on 31 December 2019 total payments of EUR 26 thousand.
