3 Accounting estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. Future events may occur which may cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.
3.1. COVID-19 impact on key accounting estimates, assumptions and estimation uncertainties
Below is a summary of key areas considered by the Company during the assessment of COVID-19 impact:
Due to the threat of spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Group and the Company reviewed and implemented the following business continuity and preventive measures: appointed employees responsible for monitoring and reporting the situation to the Company's management; identified business units and employees undertaking the critical functions and administrating the main systems; planned technical and substitution measures in case of spread of the virus. The Company continuously reviews its emergency management plan and carries out preparatory works for ensuring continuity of the critical functions.
The quantities of transported gas increased during a 6-month period in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, and accordingly, no decline in revenue was identified due to the impact of COVID-19. In the opinion of the Company, other factors (temperature fluctuations, market prices of natural gas) have a more significant impact on the demand for ordered services than the restrictions imposed as a result of a pandemic and quarantine situation.
No significant adverse effects of COVID-19 were identified during the monitoring of trading on the exchange. Due to colder than normal winters quantities sold in the first half of 2021 was 18 percent higher than in the same period of the last year. It should be noted that the COVID-19 was not affected in the turnover of stock exchange and in 2020, when, in addition to the expanded activities in the Finnish market, the trading turnover in the existing markets (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) increased 1.6 times.
The Group and the Company are assessing and updating on a continuous basis, the impact of factors related to COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's and the Company's performance and results of operations. The Company's management assessed the potential disruptions in cash flows, rendering of regulated services, availability of funding, also the impact on the demand for services, risk of infection of employees fulfilling critical functions and risk of late fulfilment of projects, based on the analysis of information available as at the date of issue of the condensed financial statements about the COVID-19-related threats in the future, and did not identify any material circumstances that might cast doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Net book amount and useful life: property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
According to Company's management assessment no negative impact of COVID-19 has been identified on the results of operations and cash flows, the Company's management believes there are no indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment. Even an adverse change in the results of operations or cash flows in a short term would not cause negative impact on the cash flows and impairment of PP&E in a long-term perspective due to the regulatory mechanism in place.
Expected credit losses: financial assets
Monitoring of the Company's key customers has not resulted in identification of any material negative impact of COVID-19.
The Company projects no liquidity or credit risk issues. The Company's key customers are large companies, which are often regulated and/or included into the list of risk-free companies. Due to the specific nature of the Company's customers, the expected credit losses on amounts receivable are assessed individually with reference to the probability of default by customers. The Company assessed the current and expected economic condition of its key customers, did not identify any significant variances, and the settlements were performed in an ordinary manner. The expected credit losses remained at a similar level as in 2020. The Company plans to update

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF 30 JUNE 2021
its risk assessments regularly, upon changes in an economic environment, and takes measures to strengthen control over payments.
In the opinion of the Company, the outbreak of COVID will have no material impact on the Company's results of operations and cash flows in a short-term perspective. In a long-term perspective, doubtful debt expenses resulting from COVID-19 (if any) will be refunded to the Company (through a regulatory mechanism) and will be compensated during the later regulatory periods for determining the prices of regulated services.
3.2. Provisions for easement and special land use conditions (protected areas)
In the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, a provision was established for non-current liabilities in relation to the commitment to register the special land use conditions (protected areas).
When assessing the amount of the commitment, the expected term of its fulfilment is taken into account. The provision for the commitment to register the protected areas was recognised at a present value of the expected costs of registration of the special land use conditions (the protected areas), discounted over the term of fulfilment of the commitment.
3.3. Recognition of new consumers connection revenue
Preparing the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020, the accounting policy to recognition of revenue from connection of new customers has been changed. Connection fees on connection of new consumers are recognised as revenue over such period that reflects the best estimate of customer relationship, as opposed to the previously applied revenue recognition approach, when connection fees on connection of new consumers were recognised as revenue immediately. In the opinion of the Company's management, revenue from connection fees is linked directly to rendering of transmission service by the Company in future periods when assets created by the Company will be utilised, because the connection to the grid on its own, without future transmission services, does not provide benefit to a customer.
Preparing the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020 for the changes in accounting policy to recognition of revenue from connection fees of new consumers, a retrospective restatement was made for certain line items. As a result of a retrospective restatement, the unamortised part of the connection fee and additional connection fee paid under the contracts that had not been completed as of 1 January 2019 were recognised as a contract liability as at 1 January 2019.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF 30 JUNE 2021
In the Group and the Company, non-current assets are accounted at revalued amount of assets, reducing the grants received for that asset.
In 2020, the construction works of the gas interconnection between Poland and Lithuania were started. The value of the construction works, construction materials and other services acquired during the first half of 2021 for the implementation of the project amounted to EUR 22,362 thousand, and the amount of recognised grants receivable was EUR 9,9801 thousand (the investments during the 2020 year amounted to EUR 76,977 thousand, the amount of recognised grants receivable was EUR 34,437 thousand. The project was reported within the category of construction work in progress.
The amount of the depreciation of the grants in the income statement is reflected by deducting the depreciation costs of the related assets with the grant income, as of 30 June 2021, it stood at EUR 1.534 thousand (as of 30 June 2020 - EUR 1.322 thousand).
6 Construction in progress
The largest objects of construction in progress of the Group and Company as of 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 were as follows:
| Items | At 30 June 2021 | At 31 December 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Implementation of gas interconnection Poland-Lithuania project in the territory of Lithuania | 35,557 | 83,799 |
| Installation of pig launchers/receivers | 5,100 | 4,446 |
| Implementation of operative technological control of gas transmission system | 3,286 | 2,776 |
| Construction of the main gas pipeline Vilnius-Kaunas and interconnection Kaunas-Šakiai | 551 | 551 |
| Other | 2,969 | 1,691 |
| Grants recognised (offsetting against non-current assets) | (20,600) | (40,910) |
| Less: impairment of construction work in progress | (597) | (580) |
| 26,266 | 51,773 |
- Impairment for the Project "Construction of interconnection between the gas transmission pipelines Vilnius-Kaunas and Kaunas-Šakiai (spatial planning and design services)" was made for the amount of EUR 551 thousand because the construction of the pipeline was postponed for later periods and there arose certain uncertainties regarding the resolution of its funding issues and its further development.
7 The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
As described below, the Group and the Company have taken on lease office premises, motor vehicles, and land. Lease periods for premises, motor vehicles and land are 8-9 years, 4 years, and 99 years, respectively. The Group and the Company assessed the probability of exercising the lease extension option when recognising right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and when determining the lease periods. In November 2020, the Company completed the tendering procedures for procurement of lease of new office premises and announced the tenderer who was awarded the contract. The lease of new office premises is expected to start in October 2021. Based on the supported assumptions that the lease extension option will not be exercised, the Company revised the lease period of premises and re-measured the lease liabilities.
