Consolidated annual report for 2012 (reviewed by auditors)
1.7. A WORD FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR
Žilvinas Lapinskas,
AB City Service General Director
The year 2012 for City Service group of companies has been very active both in Lithuania and foreign markets. Since we became a public company, it is the first time when we expanded the geography of our activities into new markets – in Poland.
The acquisition of Zespół Zarządców Nieruchomości WAM Sp. z o.o. (ZZN) company in Poland completed at the end of the year became the most important event. ZZN is the largest manager of residential buildings in Poland. The annual turnover of the company is PLN 100 million, the area of its maintained buildings covers about 8 million square metres, and the company has 22 offices all over Poland. It is an excellent platform for further expansion in this market, participation in facility maintenance tenders and for offering services to other market segments.
This transaction has become the largest business acquisition in the history of City Service. Thanks to it, the area of the buildings maintained by the Group has grown by 26.6% from 18.8 million square metres up to 23,8 million square metres.
Last year in Russia we disposed of ООО Жилкомсервис № 2 Невского района company that was failing to meet our criteria. Companies of the Group operate profitably in this market, and their results are some of the best from the beginning of our activity in Russia.
In the first half of the last year, AB City Service was reorganized. The Company became the holding company, and transferred all shares of companies and its activities in Lithuania to subsidiary UAB City Service LT. In middle of the year, the subsidiary was renamed into UAB Mano Bustas LT and rebranding process followed in Lithuania. This decision is related to inner qualitative growth of the Group in the past few years, which is orientated to service and communication improvement in Lithuania.
Actions in Lithuania, acquisition in Poland and disposal of the company in Russia had a non-recurring negative impact on the annual results as the costs amounted to LTL 10.1 million. Nevertheless, we rank results of 2012 positively: the Company's revenue amounted to LTL 534.554 million, EBITDA to LTL 43.014 million, and profit – to LTL 16.248 million.

We will concentrate on improving performance by continuous implementation of the operational efficiency increasing activities. City Service is already in its third year of implementation of LEAN initiative. This successful efficiency boost strategy engages increasingly higher number of employees. Currently, 100% of the top executives, as well as 55% of mid level, and 32% of the primary level executives are involved in LEAN implementation. This is reflected in cost savings: in 2011, savings totaled LTL 0.5 million, and in 2012 – LTL 2 million.
LEAN initiatives are already known not only in Lithuania – the efficiency boosting projects are now being implemented in the Group's companies in Russia, Latvia and Poland.
This year, we will seek to expand in the Polish, Latvian and Russian markets, where we see a great potential. Moreover, we have interest in the markets of other countries where we are not yet engaged in these activities.

Mano büstas has started modernization of 20 residential buildings
2. Activities in Lithuania
2.1. APARTMENT BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Apartment building maintenance remains the key area of activities of the Group in the Lithuanian market, where it continues to improve the service quality.
A new motivational system for facility managers was launched throughout Lithuania, based on volume of additional sales. This system has previously been tested in one of the companies of the Group, where additional services sales doubled over the year.
Houses maintained by the Group continue to implement heat-saving measures, named “5 step heat saving program”. The program seeks to reduce heat loss both inside apartments and in common areas. More than 400 apartment buildings additionally joined the program during the heating season of 2012–2013.
In order to improve the communication with customers, and increase awareness and quality improvement of the services, the Group’s companies have implemented a unified branding strategy. On July 9, the main company of the Group in Lithuania, City Service LT, has changed its name to Mano Bustas LT. Services are now provided using Mano Bustas brand (translated as My Home).
Mano Bustas was the first in Vilnius to implement residential housing renovation projects under the JESSICA program. In November, it has fully renovated first building and started modernisation of another 20 buildings. In 2013, the company plans to engage actively in renovation project development.
While improving communication with clients and forming client database, a personal visiting program was launched last year. Facility managers have visited 40% of clients in residential housing.

In virtual environment they can conveniently manage utility bills, view charge and fee reports, find detailed information about the work planned around the house and in the area, have direct contacts with a manager servicing the house. By mid-2013, the access to the new portal will be available to all customers in Lithuania.

In total, there are about 7000 lifts equipped in Lithuanian apartment houses.
Šiaulių Liftas installed 49 lifts of own production as well as 10 lifts from foreign manufacturers in public and commercial buildings.
According to LEAN initiative Šiaulių Liftas has thoroughly reviewed the product specifications and reduced the cost of production materials by 21 per cent. Meanwhile, the standard product manufacturing process was reduced by as much as 30 per cent.
In 2013 the companies will further expand its commercial segment, while modernization and replacement of old lifts in residential buildings will remain a major task. It is expected that at least 20 lifts will be replaced or renovated in 2013.
2.5. WASTE MANAGEMENT
A subsidiary of Ecoservice, member of the Group, has acquired the waste management company SKT Environmental Services Klaipėda, which provides waste salvage and sorting. Due to this acquisition Ecoservice has strengthened waste sorting capacity in this region.
Secondary raw material collection service from individual holdings was started in Pakruojis district. Vilnius sorting facility began sorting municipal waste by separating the biodegradable fraction. The aim is to reduce the amount of waste disposed to landfills.
Ecoservice has introduced and began using the sophisticated remote order management and service control system based on GPS and RFID technology. The new system allows to capture coordinates of each container location, and display them on the map. Ecoservice containers are marked with special magnetic codes and, when the garbage transporter lifts the container, the system identifies it. Each lifted and emptied container is automatically marked in the system, preventing potential errors or abuses. All data are stored in the database.

3. Activities in foreign markets
3.1. POLAND
After privatization procedures that lasted more than six months, City Service successfully acquired the largest residential building management services provider in Poland – Zespół Zarządców Nieruchomości WAM Sp. z o.o. (ZZN).
ZZN provides residential building management services, and is engaged in heat production and supply in the territory of Poland. ZZN maintains over 7.7 million square meters of building area, and has 22 offices in major cities in Poland.

There are also about 3,700 cooperatives with buildings covering 150 million square meters.
ZZN has ambitious development plans, including an active search for new customers, participation in public tendering in Poland, development of technical services and commercial facilities management segment.
In 2013, in Poland acquisition of other residential and commercial construction and maintenance enterprises is possible.
3.2. RUSSIA
In 2012, attention was paid to business performance improvement. In order to meet criteria of the Group, ООО Жилюмсервис № 2 Невского Района was disposed of. Remaining Group members in Russia operate efficiently and activities of the Group were profitable in 2012, excluding non-recurring negative impact of the mentioned disposal. Currently, the total area of buildings managed by the Group is more than 4.2 million square meters.
In September 2012, Russia has introduced the new rules on municipal services, requiring apartment owners to pay for utility resources according to meter readings. In addition, the new rules require them to pay for heating only during the heating season. According to the applicable procedures, until now consumers had to pay for heating in equal instalments throughout the calendar year. The Group's companies have successfully adapted to the new requirements and applied them on time in their accounting and in billing.
In order to maximise the use of internal resources, reduce costs and improve the process management, the Group's companies began to apply the performance optimisation experience acquired during the development of LEAN projects. Performance optimization techniques in Russia help to implement the estimate flow control system, to optimize data transfer and supply purchase and storage processes necessary for technical projects, as well as encouraging employees to share ideas.
In 2013, in St. Petersburg the Group's companies will focus on the expansion, and will make efforts to increase the number of serviced apartment houses. Much attention will be paid to existing and new business areas such as the maintenance of utility metering devices, lifts and commercial buildings.
3.3. LATVIA
In 2012 Riga City Service, a member of the Group based in Latvia, strengthened its public sector facility management segment and continued to expand in the commercial facility management sector. The area of the facilities managed by Riga City Service has almost doubled over the year and now is 500 thousand square meters, while the landscaped area covers 2.8 million square meters.
Two important contracts we signed – the company started maintenance of 32 retail chain Maxima shops was signed, also the company began to serve the Lukoil gas station network, the second largest in Latvia.
Also the company started managing facilities of state objects. The contracts were signed with the State Military Facilities Centre, with the Judicial Administration, and with the National Armed Forces for the management 78 objects in total.
One of the main goals this year is to start the management residential buildings, the majority of which are currently being managed by municipal enterprises.

4. Increasing of performance effectiveness
In 2010, the Group began to introduce LEAN performance optimization system which was further developed in various branches in 2012. A great deal of attention was paid to the involvement of employees of various profiles in the performance improvement process. Not only top executives but also employees in the lower chain of command actively participated in them, their involvement being 50% and 20%, respectively. The Group will aim to involve employees in all companies in the performance optimisation processes by 2013.
In order to substantially improve the operational performance of all companies in the Group, it continued to pursuit the goals set in 2011: optimisation of work of facility managers, conversion of specialized technicians to the versatile employees, creation of a “one stop” system for transmission of information, optimisation of operations of estimate accountants, cleaning, emergency, maintenance and repair crews, creation of an effective training, in-service training system.
Previously, the Group began to apply the business optimization tools, such as the customer service and communication model in central offices and customer service areas, and the call centre administration reform that has yielded tangible results. Due to these decisions, much work has been done at lower costs while additional work sales rose by 30%.
The Group of companies successfully optimized the lift manufacturing, sales and service process. Therefore, the production rate increased by 5 times, and the number of maintained installations grew by 50%.
A model of versatile technician is successfully implemented further in other divisions of the Group. This model aims for the technician to become a versatile member of the staff – to maintain fewer buildings, yet solving most of the problems. Widespread use of this model with a smaller number of employees enabled the improvement of the work performance by 35%.
Success of LEAN implementation is reflected in cost savings: in 2011, savings totaled LTL 0.5 million, and in 2012 – LTL 2 million.
In 2013, the Group will continue to implement the LEAN system. Performance optimization initiatives, showing success in Lithuania, will be applied in Poland, Russia, and Latvia.

This year, another 50 managers are planned to be trained under this programme. The project embraces everything, including all managerial levels from vision, values, strategy communication training to business assessment, continuous learning, talent management and internal coach training.
When implementing the building administration managers and technicians' training programme, matrix of competences was developed. Its purpose is to establish every manager's salary according to competences of a specific employee. This project was implemented in the residential buildings management unit and is further successfully adapted in other units of the Group.

7. Key risk activity types and uncertainties
In 2012 the market was stable, prices and purchasing power did not decline, in comparison with 2011. Due to heavy competition in facility management market the Company had to concentrate on further efficiency of activities. Building administration tariffs have not changed significantly in a course of the year. Improving customer climate and active sales led to rapid increase in additional services sales volume.
The risks remain similar to last year's: inflation, customers' ability to pay, competition-influenced stricter demands from commercial and residential clients, supply of qualified personnel in the market.
The scope of residential apartment building administration and maintenance services, the essential requirements for service providers, and the tariff calculation procedure are set and regulated in detail by the national and local authorities. Local authorities are empowered to set maximum tariffs for such services, together with the relevant inspectorates control the proper implementation by service providers of the administration and maintenance requirements set out in legislation, and to impose sanctions for failure to comply with the set requirements. Any claims concerning the services provided may be presented to the authorities or service providers by individual owners as well. Taking into account the aforementioned, additional risk factors in the field of apartment building administration and maintenance include any possible amendments to the enforced legislation, the frequency of adoption of such amendments, resolutions passed by central or local authorities which provide for additional obligations of service providers, and the results of controls carried out by various inspectorates and local authorities. Timely and correct indexation of the set maximum tariffs is also a risk factor which has an impact on the Group's activities in the field of residential apartment building administration and maintenance.
On the 1st of January, 2013 the amendments of the Civil code of Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter - the Civil Code) regarding to the apartment building regulation have came into force. The amendments of Civil code clearly
state that the majority of the apartments and other premises owners have the right to select the company for the apartment building maintenance (the administrator). Although the similar derivative right the owners of the apartments and other premises had under the previous Civil code, these amendments highlighted such right and expressed it directly in Civil code. Obvious possibilities to replace existing administrator establish more competitive environment for the companies of the Group. After the amendments of Civil code have come into force, the Government is preparing bylaws, although at the time of preparation of this Annual Report there is no final drafts of definite legislation.
There were no other material changes in the legal regulation of the area of administration and maintenance of apartment buildings in 2012, and neither were there any decisions providing for significant additional obligations for service providers; supervising institutions did not identify any major deficiencies in the provision of the services or inconsistencies with the legislative requirements.
The main risks of the Company's financial activities and uncertainties are reflected in the Notes to the 2012 Consolidated Annual Financial Statements (Notes No. 29 and 30).

| Principle II: The corporate governance framework
The corporate governance framework should ensure the strategic guidance of the company, the effective oversight of the company's management bodies, an appropriate balance and distribution of functions between the company's bodies, protection of the shareholders' interests. | | |
| 2.1. Besides obligatory bodies provided for in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania – a general shareholders' meeting and the chief executive officer, it is recommended that a company should set up both a collegial supervisory body and a collegial management body. The setting up of collegial bodies for supervision and management facilitates clear separation of management and supervisory functions in the company, accountability and control on the part of the chief executive officer, which, in its turn, facilitate a more efficient and transparent management process. | No | There is one collegiate managing body in the Company – Board of 4 (four) members. The Supervisory Board is not formed. |
| 2.2. A collegial management body is responsible for the strategic management of the company and performs other key functions of corporate governance. A collegial supervisory body is responsible for the effective supervision of the company's management bodies. | Yes | The Board is responsible for strategic management of the Company. The Supervisory Board is not formed. |
| 2.3. Where a company chooses to form only one collegial body, it is recommended that it should be a supervisory body, i.e. the supervisory board. In such a case, the supervisory board is responsible for the effective monitoring of the functions performed by the company's chief executive officer. | Not applicable | In this period of activities of the Company, the Board is, beside its functions of strategic management, able to properly perform the supervision of implementation of adopted strategic decisions as well as the control of management of the Company; therefore, there is no objective need for forming the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board may be formed in the future, if needed. |
| 2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected by the general shareholders' meeting should be set up and should act in the manner defined in Principles III and IV. Where a company should decide not to set up a collegial supervisory body but rather a collegial management body, i.e. the board, Principles III and IV should apply to the board as long as that does not contradict the essence and purpose of this body. 1 | Yes | The order stipulated in III and IV principles is currently followed. The essential requirements provided for in the principles are not violated. |
| 2.5. Company's management and supervisory bodies should comprise such number of board (executive directors) and supervisory (non-executive directors) board members that no individual or small group of individuals can dominate decision-making on the part of these bodies.2 | No | The Board of the Company is formed from 4 (four) members. The Board adopts the decisions with a majority vote; therefore, the votes of two members of the Board import on, whether the certain decisions will be adopted, or not. |
| 2.6. Non-executive directors or members of the supervisory board should be appointed for specified terms subject to individual re-election, at maximum intervals provided for in the Lithuanian legislation with a view to ensuring necessary development of professional experience and sufficiently frequent reconfirmation of their status. A possibility to remove them should also be stipulated however this procedure should not be easier than the removal procedure for an executive director or a member of the management board. | Not applicable | The Supervisory Board is not formed in the Company. |
| 2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting may be a person whose current or past office constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent and impartial supervision. Where a company should decide not to set up a supervisory board but rather the board, it is recommended that the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company should be a different person. Former company's chief executive officer should not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting. When a company chooses to departure from these recommendations, it should furnish information on the measures it has taken to ensure impartiality of the supervision. | Yes | The Chairman of the Board of the Company and the head of the Company – General Manager are different persons. The Chairman of the Board of the Company has not been the head of the Company. The Chairman of the Board of the Company is not related to the daily activities of the Company. |
1 Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders' meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body that is essentially formed to ensure oversight of the company's board and the chief executive officer and to represent the company's shareholders. However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board, should not be applied to the board, as the competence and functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 113-557a) are different. For instance, item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive officer of the company, but not of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the provision of recommendations to the company's chief executive officer; item 4.4 of the Code concerning independence of the collegial body elected by the general meeting from the company's management bodies is applied to the extent it concerns independence from the chief executive officer.
2 Definitions 'executive director' and 'non-executive director' are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.

| 3.2.

Information about Company's Board member's education and work experience is disclosed in the Company's interim information and annual reports. |
| 3.3. Should a person be nominated for members of a collegial body, such nomination should be followed by the disclosure of information on candidate's particular competences relevant to his/her service on the collegial body. In order shareholders and investors are able to ascertain whether member's competence is further relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual report, disclose the information on its composition and particular competences of individual members which are relevant to their service on the collegial body. | Not applicable | Detail information is provided in Clause 3.2. |

| 3.5. All new members of the collegial body should be offered a tailored program focused on introducing a member with his/her duties, corporate organization and activities. The collegial body should conduct an annual review to identify fields where its members need to update their skills and knowledge. | Not applicable | No event occurred in the Company, with the member of the Board becoming the person not familiar with the activities, structure as well as strategic objectives of the Company. Skills as well as knowledge of the members of the Board are continuously updated and enhanced, with the members performing their functions in the Board. |
| 3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest related with a member of the collegial body are resolved properly, the collegial body should comprise a sufficient number of independent members. | No | The issue on the independent members and their sufficient number in the collegiate managing body maybe discussed in the future. |
3 Attention should be drawn to the fact that in the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it is natural that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.
4 The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete number of independent members (e.g. at least 1) or 2) of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to the novelty of the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.
5 It is notable that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes of the majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body elected by the majority shareholders may be considered independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

| 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: | ||
| 1. 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; | ||
| 2. 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; | ||
| 3. 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. Such additional remuneration includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations); | ||
| 4. He/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1); | ||
| 5. He/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated company within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a major supplier or service provider (inclusive of financial, legal, counseling and consulting services), major client or organization receiving significant payments from the company or its group; | ||
| 6. He/she is not and has not been, during the last three years, partner or employee of the current or former external audit company of the company or associated company; | ||
| 7. He/she is not an executive director or member of the board in some other company where executive director of the company or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory board) is non-executive director or member of the supervisory board, he/she may not also have any other material relationships with executive directors of the company that arise from their participation in activities of other companies or bodies; | ||
| 8. He/she has not been in the position of a member of the collegial body for over than 12 years; | ||
| 9. He/she is not a close relative to an executive director or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory board) or to any person listed in above items 1 to 8. Close relative is considered to be a spouse (common-law spouse), children and parents. | Not applicable | According to the comment of Clause 3.6., it is still not relevant. |
| 3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body may decide that, despite a particular member meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, he cannot be considered independent due to special personal or company-related circumstances. | Not applicable | According to the comment of Clause 3.6., it is still not relevant. |

| 3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial body has come to in its determination of whether a particular member of the body should be considered to be independent should be disclosed. When a person is nominated to become a member of the collegial body, the company should disclose whether it considers the person to be independent. When a particular member of the collegial body does not meet one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code, the company should disclose its reasons for nevertheless considering the member to be independent. In addition, the company should annually disclose which members of the collegial body it considers to be independent. | Not applicable | According to the comment of Clause 3.6., it is still not relevant. |
| 3.10. When one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code has not been met throughout the year, the company should disclose its reasons for considering a particular member of the collegial body to be independent. To ensure accuracy of the information disclosed in relation with the independence of the members of the collegial body, the company should require independent members to have their independence periodically re-confirmed. | Not applicable | According to the comment of Clause 3.6., it is still not relevant. |
| 3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial body for their work and participation in the meetings of the collegial body, they may be remunerated from the company's funds^{6}. The general shareholders' meeting should approve the amount of such remuneration. | Not applicable | According to the comment of Clause 3.6., it is still not relevant. |
| Principle IV. The duties and liabilities of a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting | ||
| The corporate government represents should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring^{7} of the company's management bodies and protection of interests of all the company's shareholders. | ||
| 4.1. The collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure integrity and transparency of the company's financial statements and the control system. The collegial body should issue recommendations to the company's management bodies and monitor and control the company's management performance.^{8} | Yes | The member of the Board of the Company, who is responsible for the finance supervision of the Company, continuously maintains the contact and regularly meets with the Chief Accountant of the Company to discuss the financial state of the Company as well as the last occurred essential financial changes, if any. |
| The Chairman of the Board of the Company continuously maintains the contact and regularly meets with the General Director of the Company to discuss the changes occurred or occurring in the activities of the Company, essential issues of organization of activities, development of activities of the Company. | ||
| The Board of the Company analyzes and assesses the material about the activities and finance of the Company, received from the General Manager as well as Chief Accountant of the Company, if necessary, gives recommendations and suggestions. | ||
| 4.2. Members of the collegial body should act in good faith, with care and responsibility for the benefit and in the interests of the company and its shareholders with due regard to the interests of employees and public welfare. Independent members of the collegial body should (a) under all circumstances maintain independence of their analysis, decision-making and actions (b) do not seek and accept any unjustified privileges that might compromise their independence, and (c) clearly express their objections should a member consider that decision of the collegial body is against the interests of the company. Should a collegial body have passed decisions independent member has serious doubts about, the member should make adequate conclusions. Should an independent member resign from his office, he should explain the reasons in a letter addressed to the collegial body or audit committee and, if necessary, respective company-not-pertaining body (institution). | Yes | The Members of the Board of the Company act responsibly as well in goodwill in favour of the Company as well as shareholders, seek to retain their independence in adopting the decisions and taking into account the interests of the third persons. |
-
It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5374) provides that members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in the supervisory board or the board by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by Article 59 of this Law, i.e. from the company's profit. The current wording, contrary to the wording effective before 1 January 2004, eliminates the exclusive requirement that annual bonuses (tantiems) should be the only form of the company's compensation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So it seems that the Law contains no prohibition to remunerate members of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either.

See Footnote 3.

See Footnote 3. In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it should provide recommendations to the company's single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer.

| 4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time and attention to perform his duties as a member of the collegial body. Each member of the collegial body should limit other professional obligations of his (in particular any directorships held in other companies) in such a manner they do not interfere with proper performance of duties of a member of the collegial body. In the event a member of the collegial body should be present in less than a half^{9} of the meetings of the collegial body throughout the financial year of the company, shareholders of the company should be notified. | Yes | The members of the Board of the Company, each individually and all collectively, pay sufficient time and attention to have the function attributed to the competence of the Board duly performed. The members of the Board take part in the sessions, the time of which is agreed among the members so that all members of the Board could take part in the session. |
| 4.4. Where decisions of a collegial body may have a different effect on the company's shareholders, the collegial body should treat all shareholders impartially and fairly. It should ensure that shareholders are properly informed on the company's affairs, strategies, risk management and resolution of conflicts of interest. The company should have a clearly established role of members of the collegial body when communicating with and committing to shareholders. | Yes | The Board of the Company seeks, in its work, to conduct in good faith and impartially with all shareholders of the Company, and according to the data available in the Company, there has been no case, so far, that it were vice versa. The Chairman of the Board of the Company is, by adjusting as well as coordinating the interactions with the General Manager of the Company, obliged and authorized to, in the name of the Board, communicate with the shareholders, inform the shareholders about the activities, strategy, other essential matters of the Company; also to give official binding clarifications. |
| 4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except insignificant ones due to their low value or concluded when carrying out routine operations in the company under usual conditions), concluded between the company and its shareholders, members of the supervisory or managing bodies or other natural or legal persons that exert or may exert influence on the company's management should be subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed adopted only provided the majority of the independent members of the collegial body voted for such a decision. | Yes | All transactions specified in this recommendation, if they are not insignificant due to the low value, are concluded upon the decisions of the Board which may be adopted only in case of the required quorum and majority and following the provisions of the Company's Articles of Association that complies with the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania. |
| 4.6. The collegial body should be independent in passing decisions that are significant for the company's operations and strategy. Taken separately, the collegial body should be independent of the company's management bodies^{10}. Members of the collegial body should act and pass decisions without an outside influence from the persons who have elected it. Companies should ensure that the collegial body and its committees are provided with sufficient administrative and financial resources to discharge their duties, including the right to obtain, in particular from employees of the company, all the necessary information or to seek independent legal, accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining to the competence of the collegial body and its committees. When using the services of a consultant with a view to obtaining information on market standards for remuneration systems, the remuneration committee should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at the same time advice the human resources department, executive directors or collegial management organs of the company concerned. | Yes | The Board of the Company adopts the decisions, following only the interests of the Company; therefore, the independence of the members in adopting the decisions significant to the activities and strategy of the Company, shall be assessed according to the interests of the Company and its shareholders. The members of the Board are provided with all possibilities and they have the right to all resources necessary to duly perform the obligations, including the possibilities to apply to the independent external legal, accounting or other specialists. The General Manager of the Company ensured that the managers or employees of the separate fields of the Company provide directly the Board or through the General Manager with the required information to the members of the Board, so that they could duly perform their functions and deal with the issues attributed to their competence. |
| 4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a manner that independent members of the collegial body could have major influence in relevant areas where chances of occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be considered as highly relevant are issues of nomination of company's directors, determination of directors' remuneration and control and assessment of company's audit. Therefore when the mentioned issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish nomination, remuneration, and audit committees^{11}. Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to the nomination, remuneration, and audit committees are carried out. However they may decide to merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three different committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise small number of members, the functions assigned to the three committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition requirements advocated for the committees and that adequate information is provided in this respect. In such case provisions of this Code relating to the committees of the collegial body (in particular with respect to their role, operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a whole. | Yes | The recommendation is implemented partly. The Audit Committee was established by implementing the decision adopted in the General Meeting of Shareholders on 30 April 2009. The Audit Committee was established in order to comply with the requirements of the Law on Audit and to this Code. According to the existing scopes of the activities of the Company, results as well as objective needs, and to the fact that the Board of the Company consists of 4 (four) members, the Company in not in need of the establishment other committees, but the establishment of nomination and remuneration committees shall be considered in the future. |
9 It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should be informed about failure to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the collegial body participated at less than 2/3 or 3/4 of the meetings. Such measures, which ensure active participation in the meetings of the collegial body, are encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.
-
In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, the recommendation concerning its independence from the company's management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the independence from the company's chief executive officer.

The Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Audit (Official Gazette, 2008, No 82-53235) determines that an Audit Committee shall be formed in each public interest entity (including, but not limited to public companies whose securities are traded in the regulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or any other member state).

| 4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase efficiency of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring that decisions are based on due consideration, and to help organize its work with a view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free of material conflicts of interest. Committees should exercise independent judgement and integrity when exercising its functions as well as present the collegial body with recommendations concerning the decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on creation of committees is not intended, in principle, to constrict the competence of the collegial body or to remove the matters considered from the purview of the collegial body itself, which remains fully responsible for the decisions taken in its field of competence. | Yes | The Audit Committee operates in accordance with the Regulations approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company. The Audit Committee in accordance with the need provides the Company's Board with recommendations. |
| 4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should normally be composed of at least three members. In companies with small number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally be composed of two members. Majority of the members of each committee should be constituted from independent members of the collegial body. In cases when the company chooses not to set up a supervisory board, remuneration and audit committees should be entirely comprised of non-executive directors. Chairmanship and membership of the committees should be decided with due regard to the need to ensure that committee membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is not placed on particular individuals. | Yes | The Audit Committee consists of three members elected for the term of office of four years. One of the members is independent. The composition and the term of office of the Audit Committee is approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders. Audit Committee composition and their terms ensure the nature of aims and objectives of the Company and its shareholders. |

Companies should also make public annually a statement by existing committees on their composition, number of meetings and attendance over the year, and their main activities. Audit committee should confirm that it is satisfied with the independence of the audit process and describe briefly the actions it has taken to reach this conclusion. | Yes | Under the regulations of the Audit Committee of the Company the Audit Committee presents the report about its activity to the Board of the Company no less than one time per year. |
| 4.11.

A committee may invite or demand participation in the meeting of particular officers or experts. Chairman of each of the committees should have a possibility to maintain direct communication with the shareholders. Events when such are to be performed should be specified in the regulations for committee activities. | Yes | The regulations of the Company's Audit Committee shall grant the right for the Audit Committee members to convene to the Audit Committee meetings the Board members and the other employees of the Company. |

| 4.14. Audit Committee. | Yes | The Company has the Audit Committee in place. The composition and Regulations of the Audit Committee were approved in the General Meeting of Shareholders on 30 April 2009. The Audit Committee consists of three members elected for the term of office of four years. One of the members is independent. The Audit Committee was established under the requirements for Audit Committees approved on 13 August, 2008 by the Securities Commission of Lithuanian Republic. In accordance with Article 52(3) of the Law on Audit, the functions of the Company's Audit Committee are as follows: 1) to monitor the process of drawing up financial statement; 2) to monitor the effectiveness of the systems of corporate internal control, risk management and internal audit, if any; 3) to monitor the process of carrying out audit; 4) to monitor how the auditor and the audit firm adhere to the principles of independence and objectivity. The principal objective of the Audit Committee is to generate higher added value to the Company. With a view to achieving the set objective, the Audit Committee operates in accordance with the Regulations approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company. The Audit Committee follows in its activities the requirements of effective legal acts and seeks overall implementation of the recommendations of this Code. |
| 4.14.1. Key functions of the audit committee should be the following: • Observe the integrity of the financial information provided by the company, in particular by reviewing the relevance and consistency of the accounting methods used by the company and its group (including the criteria for the consolidation of the accounts of companies in the group); • At least once a year review the systems of internal control and risk management to ensure that the key risks (inclusive of the risks in relation with compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and reflected in the information provided; • Ensure the efficiency of the internal audit function, among other things, by making recommendations on the selection, appointment, reappointment and removal of the head of the internal audit department and on the budget of the department, and by monitoring the responsiveness of the management to its findings and recommendations. Should there be no internal audit authority in the company, the need for one should be reviewed at least annually; • Make recommendations to the collegial body related with selection, appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditor (to be done by the general shareholders' meeting) and with the terms and conditions of his engagement. The committee should investigate situations that lead to a resignation of the audit company or auditor and make recommendations on required actions in such situations; • Monitor independence and impartiality of the external auditor, in particular by reviewing the audit company's compliance with applicable guidance relating to the rotation of audit partners, the level of fees paid by the company, and similar issues. In order to prevent occurrence of material conflicts of interest, the committee, based on the auditor's disclosed inter alia data on all remunerations paid by the company to the auditor and network, should at all times monitor nature and extent of the non-audit services. Having regard to the principals and guidelines established in the 16 May 2002 Commission Recommendation 2002/590/EC, the committee should determine and apply a formal policy establishing types of non-audit services that are (a) excluded, (b) permissible only after review by the committee, and (c) permissible without referral to the committee; • Review efficiency of the external audit process and responsiveness of management to recommendations made in the external auditor's management letter. | ||
| 4.14.2. All members of the committee should be furnished with complete information on particulars of accounting, financial and other operations of the company. Company's management should inform the audit committee of the methods used to account for significant and unusual transactions where the accounting treatment may be open to different approaches. In such case a special consideration should be given to company's operations in offshore centers and/or activities carried out through special purpose vehicles (organizations) and justification of such operations. | ||
| 4.14.3. The audit committee should decide whether participation of the chairman of the collegial body, chief executive officer of the company, chief financial officer (or superior employees in charge of finances, treasury and accounting), or internal and external auditors in the meetings of the committee is required (if required, when). The committee should be entitled, when needed, to meet with any relevant person without executive directors and members of the management bodies present. | ||
| 4.14.4. Internal and external auditors should be secured with not only effective working relationship with management, but also with free access to the collegial body. For this purpose the audit committee should act as the principal contact person for the internal and external auditors. | ||
| 4.14.5. The audit committee should be informed of the internal auditor's work program, and should be furnished with internal audit's reports or periodic summaries. The audit committee should also be informed of the work program of the external auditor and should be furnished with report disclosing all relationships between the independent auditor and the company and its group. The committee should be timely furnished information on all issues arising from the audit. |
| Principles / Recommendations | Yes / No / Not applicable | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 4.14.6. The audit committee should examine whether the company is following applicable provisions regarding the possibility for employees to report alleged significant irregularities in the company, by way of complaints or through anonymous submissions (normally to an independent member of the collegial body), and should ensure that there is a procedure established for proportionate and independent investigation of these issues and for appropriate follow-up action. | ||
| 4.14.7. The audit committee should report on its activities to the collegial body at least once in every six months, at the time the yearly and half-yearly statements are approved. | ||
| 4.15. Every year the collegial body should conduct the assessment of its activities. The assessment should include evaluation of collegial body's structure, work organization and ability to act as a group, evaluation of each of the collegial body member's and committee's competence and work efficiency and assessment whether the collegial body has achieved its objectives. The collegial body should, at least once a year, make public (as part of the information the company annually discloses on its management structures and practices) respective information on its internal organization and working procedures, and specify what material changes were made as a result of the assessment of the collegial body of its own activities. | No | The practice has not so far being formed in the Company for the Board of the Company to perform the assessment of its activities as well as to separately inform the shareholders about it, as the controlling shareholder, by appointing the members of the Board, already knows the experience, competence and determination of each member to act only for the interests of the Company. |
| Principle 2: The working procedure of the company's collegial bodies | ||
| The working procedure of supervisory and management bodies established in the company should ensure efficient operation of these bodies and decision-making and encourage active co-operation between the company's bodies. | ||
| 5.1. The company's supervisory and management bodies (hereinafter in this Principle the concept 'collegial bodies' covers both the collegial bodies of supervision and the collegial bodies of management) should be chaired by chairpersons of these bodies. The chairperson of a collegial body is responsible for proper convocation of the collegial body meetings. The chairperson should ensure that information about the meeting being convened and its agenda are communicated to all members of the body. The chairperson of a collegial body should ensure appropriate conducting of the meetings of the collegial body. The chairperson should ensure order and working atmosphere during the meeting. | Yes | The Company implements this recommendation in a full scope. The Board of the Company is both de jure and de facto managed by the Chairman of the Board. Following the work procedure of the Board, the Chairman convenes the sessions of the Board, organized the work of the Board, has, without the separate decision of the members, the right to chair in the sessions of the Board; also, have other authorities set out in the Company's Articles of Association, work regulation of the Board and/or separately mentioned in the separate clauses of this report. |
