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 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.

(all amounts are in euro thousand unless stated otherwise)

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 option, 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
30 September 2019 1 January 2019 30 September 2019 1 January 2019
Right-of-use assets 786 749 618 749
Lease liability – current portion 144 131 131 131
Lease liability – non-current portion 642 618 487 618

- Other changes 151 - (29) -

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. Taking into account the right of municipalities to recalculate the rent, changing the specified amounts with a period of 3 years, the lease of land has features of variable payments that are not related to the intensity of use of the property. Also, these payments generally do not reflect the market rate for rent of similar land. The Company made total payments of EUR 25 thousand for use of approximately 200 plots of state-owned land in 2018, or during the first nine months of 2019 total payments of EUR 23 thousand. The Company is currently evaluating whether these agreements are in scope of IFRS 16 or whether they are effectively a form of land tax.
