The principal accounting principles applied in the preparation of the Company's and the Group's financial statements for the period of twelve months ended 31 December 2022 are set out below:

2.1 Basis of preparation

These condensed interim consolidated and separate financial statements, including the statements of financial position and statement of profit or loss, statements of comprehensive income, cash flow statement and the statements of changes in equity for the period of twelve months ended 31 December 2022 have not been audited. The consolidated and separate financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021 have been audited and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted in European Union.

For a better understanding of the information presented in these financial statements, these condensed financial statements should be read together with the annual consolidate and separate financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021. PricewatehouseCoopers UAB carried out an audit of Consolidated and separate Financial Statements for the period ended on 31 December 2021.

The Group's and separate condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2022 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 2021.

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

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 financial year of the Group and the Company coincides with the calendar year.

2.2 Presentation currency

All amounts in these financial statements have been measured and presented in the euros (EUR), which is an official currency of the Republic of Lithuania. These financial statements are presented in EUR '000 unless otherwise stated.

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 Sale of the shares of subsidiary

Compiling the financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2022, the investment in the subsidiary Get Baltic that is singles out as separate operating segment were reclassified into the asset held for sale as the following criteria were met: (1) all necessary approvals for the proposed share transfer transaction have been obtained, i.e. the boards of the Group and the Company approved the initial conditions for the sale of shares and initiation of the process; (2) the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition and to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups; (3) an active sales have been initiated (potential buyer that have been selected submitted the initial offers; (4) the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year; (5) the asset (disposal group) can be sold in the market at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions required to complete the sale plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale plan will be made or that the sale will be withdrawn.

The disposal group that is classified as asset held for sale is carried out at a carrying amount that is lower than its fair value.

The disposal group does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, as the subsidiary is not considered a major (significant) line of business or geographical area of operation, so the impact of discontinued operations is not disclosed in the profit (loss) and cash flow statements.

The company's transactions with Get Baltic will be carried out even after the sale date, therefore, in the consolidated reports, mutual transactions are eliminated from the disposal group.

3.2 Accounting principles applying to system user's balancing

Under the Regulation establishing a Network Code on Gas Balancing of Transmission Networks (hereinafter – Regulation) the system users are responsible to balance their inflow and outflow volumes. If system users do not adjust the quantities of natural gas at the entry and exit points, the Company is authorized to perform the balancing actions provided in the Regulation. In accordance with the Regulation, the Company performs system user balancing actions each reporting month when imbalance occurs at the transmission system.

Revenue from balancing is recognised for each reporting month when a negative imbalance is caused by the transmission system user, that occurs a shortage of natural gas in the transmission system. Expense from balancing is recognised for each reporting month when a positive imbalance is caused by the transmission system user, that occurs an excess of natural gas in the transmission system. In order to comply with the principle of profit neutrality from the 1 March 2022 Company calculates a neutrality charge for each reporting month. The neutrality charge is a charge paid by or to the transmission system operator for the balancing of the transmission system. This charge consists of the difference between the transmission system operator's costs and the revenue from balancing activities. Neutrality charges can be both positive and negative. In the event of a negative

neutrality charge, the transmission system operator pays the neutrality charge to the system users. In the event of a positive neutrality charge, the transmission system operator receives a neutrality charge from the system users. The purpose of neutrality charge is to ensure the transmission system operators financial neutrality.

In the assessment of the Company's management due to the changes in balancing regulation, the Company acts as an agent and presents the net result of balancing activity in the financial statements. The "net" principle for balancing income and expenses is applied from 1 March 2022.

3.3 The impact of the Russia's invasion of Ukraine on financial statements

Whereas the Group and the Company does not have any significant transactions in the affected markets and has no subsidiaries in the affected markets, no negative impact on financial results and cash flows was identified.

As of 1 April 2022, Lithuania has completely switched away from Russian gas in order to achieve full energy independence from Russian gas, in response to Russia's energy blackmail in Europe and to the war in Ukraine, thus Lithuania's gas transmission system operates without Russian gas imports. Lithuania's entire gas demand is met through the Klaipėda Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal. Gas continues to be transported in transit through Lithuania for the needs of Karaliaučius region, but under a different technical regime from the usual one, ensuring the transmission of only the volume of gas needed for transit. From 1 May 2022, the gas market participants can use the GIPL gas interconnection, which are resulting in commercial gas flows between Lithuania and Poland. The Group expects that this interconnection will become of regional importance and will have a greater-than-expected impact on revenue growth.

The events in Ukraine and the high prices of natural gas influenced the decrease of natural gas consumption in the Baltic countries and the Finnish region by about 40 percent as at 2022. Accordingly, about 7 TWh of natural gas, or 13 percent less compared to 2021 (as at 2021 - about 8 TWh) was traded in the natural gas exchange managed by the Company. However, the share of the volume traded on the GET Baltic exchange, when assessed on a regional scale, increased and accounted for about 17% of the total demand of the Baltic-Finland region (as at 2021 - 12%). The Company's activities were stable and operated under normal market conditions, no cyber attacks directed at the Company's managed trading platforms were observed.

Under the influence of the war the value of some investment projects increased as a result of contractors no longer using materials or parts imported from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

4 Information by segments

The Group singles out 2 operating segments: 1) natural gas transmission operations and 2) natural gas exchange operator activities (disposal group).

As a part of intangible assets there are the provision for the commitment to register and the right to use the third party's land areas under the land use conditions in amount of EUR 2,179 thousand. The provision and related intangible assets were established under the amendments to the Regulations of the Real Property Cadastre, which were necessary for the establishment of a commitment to form a register of protected areas, as set out in the Lithuanian Law on Special Land Use Conditions, by the year 2023, and based on the Description of the procedure for preparation and approval of the protected areas, approved under the Lithuanian Energy Minister's Order No. 1-339 of 13 October 2020. Discounting of the provision was based on a discount rate of 0.62 percent. As at 31 December 2022 the Company reassessed the value of the intangible asset and the liability over the expected term of fulfilment of the obligation using a discount rate of 1.24 percent. Due to clearer legal regulation, the scope of protection zone registration services has been reduced. Also, relevant services for the actions necessary for the determination and registration of protection zones and area classes, were purchased through public procurement, the sum of the contract values of which was lower than the preliminary value used in the assumptions of provisioning, therefore the value of the provision and related intangible assets were reduced by EUR 889 thousand.

22 Commitments and contingencies

Litigations

Currently, the Company has one ongoing civil case against AB Achema regarding the award of the LNG terminal funds. The Company acts as an administrator of LNG terminal funds only, and transfers LNG terminal funds to their beneficiaries only after it collects them from buyers, therefore it does not incur any credit risk for the amount in dispute. The above civil case is still pending at first instance before the Kaunas Regional Court.

By its ruling of 20 January 2022, the Kaunas Regional Court suspended the part of the case concerning the claims for EUR 4,463,155.98 of the LNG terminal funds and EUR 53,359.95 in interest on late payment arising under the natural gas transmission service contract of 22 December 2014, pending the decision of the European Commission on the compatibility of the LNG terminal funds collected for the period from 1 January 2016 to 31

December 2018 with the state aid rules under the European Union law. By its ruling of 17 March 2022, the Court of Appeal of Lithuania upheld the ruling of the Kaunas Regional Court of 20 January 2022.

The other part of the case for late payment interest of EUR 763,119.55 under the natural gas transmission service contract of 21 December 2012 and the counterclaim, whereby AB Achema seeks to declare actions of the Company in calculating late payment interest under the 21 December 2012 natural gas transmission service contract and in allocating the payments received on the basis of this contract from AB Achema for the purpose of setting off of the late payment interest unlawful and invalid, Kaunas District Court with the ruling of 20 June 2022 also suspended until the decision of the European Commission would be adopted regarding the LNG terminal funds, which have been applied for the period from 1 January 2016 until 31 December 2018, in compliance with the state aid rules provided for in European Union law. The Company, disagreeing with the 20 June 2022 decision of the Kaunas District Court, submitted a separate complaint regarding the annulment of this order. The Lithuanian Court of Appeal, examined the Company's separate complaint on 8 September 2022, adopted a ruling by which leaved the ruling of Kaunas District Court's at 20 June 2022 unchanged.

Also, the Company on 6 September 2022 applied to the court with a statement regarding the issuance of a court order for EUR 69.8 thousand damages for inadequate quality goods, 6 percent annual interest and court costs. On 7 September 2022 the court accepted the Court's order in favor of the Company awarding EUR 69.8 thousand debt, 6 percent annual interest and litigation costs. The court order was handed over to the bailiffs for execution.
