INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the shareholders of AB "Ignitis gamyba"

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AB „Ignitis gamyba“, a public limited liability company registered in the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2019, statement of profit (loss) and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2019 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities (regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on the audit of financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania that are relevant to the audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

Key audit matters

1. Assessment of impairment indications and impairment of property, plant and equipment

As at 31 December 2019, the carrying value of the Company's property, plant and equipment was equal to 450 261 thousand EUR. The major part of these assets is related to Kruonis hydroelectric power station, Kaunas hydroelectric power station of Algirdas Brazauskas, and the Elektrėnai complex, which consists of blocks No. 7 and No. 8 along with a combined cycle unit with biofuel and steam boiler plants. 444 628 thousand EUR of these assets were accounted for at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment, while 4 245 thousand EUR of the assets were carried at revalued amounts.

As disclosed in Note 3, the Company's Management performed an assessment of impairment indications for property, plant and equipment. The Management concluded that there are no signs indicating the possibility of an impairment, therefore, at the date of the financial statements, no impairment tests were required for these assets, except of the Elektrėnai complex. The management performed an assessment of the recoverable amount of Elektrėnai complex as of 31 December 2019 as disclosed in Note 3 and determined no additional impairment of these assets.

The matter was significant to our audit because property, plant and equipment comprise 66% of the Company's total assets in the statement of financial position, and the Management of the Company is required to make important decisions and significant estimates to determine whether there is any indication of an impairment and changes in recoverable amounts assessment.

How the matter was addressed in the audit

Among other procedures, we performed the following:

We discussed with the Company's Management how external and internal indications of assets impairment are assessed and what assumptions the Management considers relevant for assessment of the recoverability of the asset;
For cash generating units with no impairment indications, we have reviewed and compared cash flows forecasts for year 2018 and 2019, which were used in last impairment test, performed in 2017, with actual figures for the same years. In addition, we have assessed the assumptions used in the last detailed impairment test and noted no changes;
We have understood the Company's budgeting procedures, on which cash flow projections for the coming year are based on, as these forecasts are an important input for future cash flow forecasts prepared by the management when assessing recoverable amounts of cash generating units;
We involved EY valuation specialists to assist us with the assessment of Elektrėnai complex cash generating unit impairment model and the methodology on which the model was grounded. We also evaluated the Company's assumptions and estimates, including those related to long-term growth rates, margins and discount rates, used to determine the recoverable amount of the Elektrėnai complex assets while taking into account the changes in regulatory environment. We compared the cash flow forecasts used in the model with the Company's Board approved performance plan and also compared last year's cash flows forecasts with actual figures. We also tested arithmetical accuracy of the discounted cash flows model;
We have analyzed changes in the regulatory environment, taking into account the recent decisions made by the National Energy Regulatory Council and assessed their impact on management assumptions used in recoverable amounts of cash generating units calculation;
We have read and compared the property, plant and equipment disclosure prepared by the Management and presented in Note 7 to source data and supporting accounting registers;
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures included in Note 3 about the assumptions used in the impairment test and the outcome of the test.

2. Recognition and measurement of regulatory assets and liabilities arising from regulatory services provision

The Company earns revenue from its commercial and regulatory activities. As disclosed in Note 32 of the financial statements, in the statement of comprehensive income of 2019 income from regulatory activities amounted to 71 884 thousand EUR, with revenues from capacity reserve services and other system services (43 256 thousand EUR and 23 528 thousand EUR, respectively) being the most material regulatory activity revenue streams in 2019. Until 1 January 2019, the Company was also engaged in the provision of public service obligations services (PSO), from which 15 610 thousand EUR revenue was earned in 2018.

The provision of services related to regulated activities is subject to certain regulations and decisions of the National Energy Regulatory Council, most of which are complex. Some of the decisions have been disputed by the Company in the court.

Tariffs for the regulated activities are set by the National Energy Regulatory Council in accordance to the Company's forecasted costs. Subsequently the tariffs are adjusted to reflect differences in actual costs incurred by the Company, which may result in regulatory assets and / or liabilities arising from the Company's regulated activities during the current reporting period. Recognition of such regulatory assets and/or liabilities and related regulatory revenue in the financial statements in accordance with relevant International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter - IFRS) (IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers", IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets" and IFRS Framework) requires an in-depth assessment of the applicable laws and regulations and significant judgment and decision-making, as disclosed in Note 2.18. In addition, as disclosed in Note 4, during the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Company identified that the regulatory revenue recognition principles applied in previous financial periods did not fully meet IFRS requirements. Thus, the Company accounted for the related adjustments and changed the comparative figures presented in the financial statements for 2019.

This matter was significant to our audit because it involves significant management estimates and judgments about applying appropriate accounting policies in accordance with IFRS.

Among other procedures, we performed the following:
- We gained an understanding of the Company's regulatory revenue recognition process;
- We have analyzed and understood the relevant legislation governing the provision of regulated services;
- We have analyzed the Company's accounting policy for the recognition of revenue from regulatory activities and assessed whether the policy is in compliance with IFRS requirements;
- We understood how the amounts of regulatory liabilities accounted for as a provision and regulatory assets recognized as of 31 December 2019 were calculated and performed recalculation of the amounts;
- We have assessed the calculations relating to the correction of error in the previous period comparative information;
- We have reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures related to the recognition of revenue from regulatory activities (including Note 2.18), as well as disclosure on the correction of error of the previous periods in Note 4.

Other information

Other information consists of the information included in the Company's Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Corporate Social Responsibility Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information presentation.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as indicated below.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

EY
Building a better working world

In connection to our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

We also have to evaluate, if the financial information included in the Company's Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement, corresponds to the financial statements for the same financial year and if the Company's Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement, was prepared in accordance with the relevant legal requirements. In our opinion, based on the work performed in the course of the audit of financial statements, in all material respects:

The financial information included in the Company's Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement, corresponds to the financial information included in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019; and
The Company's Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement, was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law on Financial Reporting by Undertakings of the Republic of Lithuania.

We also need to check that the Corporate Social Responsibility Report has been provided. If we identify that Corporate Social Responsibility Report has not been provided, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

EY
Building a better working world

Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Other requirements of the auditor's report in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Appointment and approval of the auditor

In accordance with the decision made by the shareholders in 2019 we have been chosen to carry out the audit of Company's financial statements. Our appointment to carry out the audit of Company's financial statements in accordance with the decision made by General shareholders meeting has been made for three years period. The audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 was our first annual audit of the Company.

Consistency with the audit report submitted to the audit committee

We confirm that our opinion in the section 'Opinion' is consistent with the additional report which we have submitted to the Company.

Non-audit services

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Company are consistent with the requirements of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Throughout our audit engagement period, we have not provided to the Company any other services except for the audit of the financial statements and financial statements translation services.

MANAGEMENT'S FOREWORD

Dear customers, shareholders, partners and employees,

The year 2019 for Ignitis Gamyba was full of challenges, but tackling them today, we can enjoy both better company results and greater employee engagement today. We are changing and evolving to build a globally competitive energy company that will be even more efficient.

Although the draught in spring and summer took its toll in Lithuania, the main performance indicators of Ignitis Production in 2019 consistently improved. Results of Ignitis Gamyba in 2019 were significantly influenced by the effective use of the Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant (hereinafter "Kruonis PSHP") potential, positive results of the stocked fuel-oil sales and increased volume of the regulated services provided by Elektrėnai Complex. That led to 20.5% higher adjusted EBITDA of the Company in 2019, which reached EUR 54.0 million (compared to EUR 44.8 million in 2018).

The Company's revenue peaked at 5.6% and totalled EUR 145.5 million in 2019, whereas the net profit grew from 23.5% up to 42.8 million in 2019. Other Company's profitability indicators – operating profit margin, profit before tax margin, and net profit margin also were higher. This has been partly determined by the EUR 9.3 million compensation received from the Ministry of Finance in spring 2019, of which the company has announced previously.

Hydrological drought and prolonged fish spawning period had a negative impact on the results of Kaunas A. Brazauskas Hydroelectric Power Plant (hereinafter "Kaunas HPP") due to the following reasons: a low flow of the Nemunas inflow in 2019 it produced 0.27 TWh or 22% less electricity than in 2018. The lower production results of Kaunas HPP were compensated by the increased margin of Kruonis PSHP generation – the increased difference between daily peak and night-time electricity prices resulted in 14% higher sales of the electricity produced in Kruonis PSHP in 2019 (0.54 TWh). As in the previous year, the production volumes in Elektrėnai Complex remained limited.

Implementing its essential mission, in 2019 the Company successfully provided various ancillary services that are vital to the stability and security of the region's electricity supply systems. As in previous years, in 2019 the Company ensured the secondary active power reserve, a service provided by two hydro-units of Kruonis PSHP in the scope of 400 MW. The tertiary active power reserve in the scope of 260 MW was ensured by the most effective unit of Elektrėnai Complex – the combined cycle unit (hereinafter "the CCU"). CCU was constantly ready to produce electricity and contribute to the overall security of the energy system.

In total, 0.83 TWh of electricity generated in the Company's power plants was sold in the NordPool exchange in 2019, slightly less if compared to 2018 (0.88 TWh). The Company's financial results in 2019 and the factors that affected them are discussed further in this report, which also notes that 2019 became the starting point from which we begin to implement the Company's renewed business strategy.

While taking constant care for the reliable and stable work of the Company's power plants, our team continued intensive preparations for the projects of huge importance to the entire energy system. In May, we successfully participated in a test of Lithuanian electricity system restoration after a total failure

and isolated work of a part of the system, which proved we are prepared to act on time and ensure provision of electricity to the country's consumers. In Elektrėnai Complex, the dismantling of units 5 and 6 of the reserve power plant has been continued as well. Moreover, we carried out preparatory works for the possible modernisation of the Kruonis PSHP – in September, a study of the pile field and infrastructure was completed, partially funded by the European Commission. We expect that the technological alternatives' study and socio-economic study will be finished in the first half of 2020.

At the beginning of October, Ignitis Gamyba started providing solar power plant installation services and implementing large solar park projects for remote customers generating solar energy. The 1 MW solar power plant offered on the platform Ignitis Saulės Parkai was booked within 2 days. At the end of the year, a 3 MW solar farm development project was initiated.

I am glad we managed to make a substantial progress implementing new projects. In 2019, preparatory works for the installation of the experimental solar power plant in Kruonis PSHP and disassembly of the chimneys in Elektrėnai Complex have been actively carried out, including the initiation of the public procurement procedures necessary for further implementation of these projects. I strongly believe these large-scale innovations will soon become reality, thus allowing Ignitis Gamyba to push the boundaries of innovative solutions provided by the state-owned enterprises on both the national and regional level.

So, we ended a year of 2019 with all the goals achieved, but what is direction for 2020? The highlights for 2020 remain the same as for 2019. We will continue to strive for the consistent implementation of the Company's long-term strategy, to actively embrace all opportunities for power generation, and reliable and efficient system services remain our top priorities for 2020 and beyond.

At the end of the year, we won the auction of the tertiary active power reserve, announced by the transmission system operator LITGRID (hereinafter "LITGRID" or "the TSO"), and signed a contract to provide this service. Under this agreement, we will provide this vitally important service in 2020 ensuring power grid reliability to units 7 and 8 within the scope of 475 MW. Since the launch of the auctions for tertiary active power reserve, this is the first case when one supplier is selected to provide all the services. We have also signed agreement with LITGRID for provision of secondary reserve and services ensuring isolated operation of the power system in 2020. These services will be provided by two Kruonis PSHP units and the CCU and Unit 8 respectively.

Thus, ensuring reliable operation of power plants remains of paramount importance to us – we provide systemic services that are important to the country, therefore, we need to be ready to generate electricity when it is needed.

I'm confident that focused work and important projects will help us to achieve our vision of becoming a competitive international excellence centre for energy generation.

In January–December 2019, the Company's adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin increased, in comparison with the same period in 2018. This can also be seen in the chart showing the dynamics of EBITDA in January–December 2015–2019, provided below (see Figure 1).

Other profitability indicators of the Company (operating profit margin, margin of profit before tax, net profit margin) in January–December 2019 were also higher if compared to the same period in 2018. Operating profit, profit before tax and net profit increased mainly due to compensation

received for the projects carried out in previous years and higher EBITDA.

The Company's adjusted EBITDA increased despite lower production volumes at Kaunas HPP in January–December 2019, in comparison with the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA growth has been driven by the higher gross profit and increased generation margin of Kruonis PSHP, positive results of stocked fuel-oil sales and higher volumes of regulated services provided in Elektrėnai complex.

ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Business environment

Ignitis Gamyba manages and develops the largest electricity generation capacities in Lithuania: Kruonis Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Plant (hereinafter "Kruonis PSHP"), the combined cycle unit and the reserve power plant the Elektrėnai Complex, Kaunas Algirdas Brazauskas Hydroelectric Power Plant (hereinafter "Kaunas HPP") and Vilnius thermal power plant No 3 (hereinafter "Vilnius TE-3"). The Elektrėnai Complex produces thermal energy for Elektrėnai consumers, Kietaviškės greenhouse complex, and the Company's own needs.

Ignitis Gamyba helps to ensure reliability and security of the energy systems in the whole Baltic and Nordic region as well as contributes to a historical change – synchronization of the Baltic States with the Continental European grids in 2025.

The main goal of Ignitis Gamyba – the modernization and development of local reliable generation capacity and further development of the strategic generation through participation in the regional power reserve and system services market. To ensure its sustainability and long-term vision, the Company is putting an increasing focus on driving innovations and developing the green generation capacities.

The main customers of the Company are LITGRID (receiving all system services), The National Energy Regulatory Council (representing the interests of consumers as the Company provides regulated services, hereinafter "the NERC"), Nord Pool (NP) exchange participants (receiving electricity generation services), Elektrėnų Komunalinis Ūkis UAB and Kietaviškių Gausa UAB (receiving heat energy services).

The Company operates in Lithuania, but as it sells electricity via the exchange, it also participates in the regional market of Nordic countries.

Analysis of external environmental indicators

In assessing the impact of the external environment, the Company takes into account political, economic, social and technological factors.

The planned synchronization of the Lithuania's electricity system with the electricity system of the Continental Europe has the potential to open up new markets to the Company while increasing competition. At the same time, expanding renewable energy production (RES) creates challenges and opportunities for conventional power generation.

The Company's activities may be adversely affected by the increasing and intensifying competition in the commercial power generation market, increased competition between system service providers, and potential policy and regulatory decisions that limit or distort development and service provision opportunities.

The significant Company's contribution to the implementation of the National Energy Independence Strategy is among the positive external factors. The development of new production capacities enables the provision of maintenance services, and the implemented innovations increase the Company's competitiveness.

Overview of economic situation

The changes in general domestic product have the biggest impact on increase in demand for energy and competitive environment, in which the Company is operating. The general domestic product has been growing for several years in the European Union already. The growth in 2017 was the fastest over the last 10 years. In 2017, the economies of all the Member States of the European Union were growing for the first time since 2007. The growth will continue. However, according to the forecasts, due to increasing global uncertainties, it will be more moderate. According to the forecast of the European Commission published in autumn 2019¹, the gross domestic product is forecast to grow by 1.4% in the European Union (EU28) in 2019 and 1.1% in the euro area. Meanwhile, the economic growth should be 1.4% and 1.2% in 2020, and 1.4% and 1.2% in 2021, respectively. The European Commission informed that the growth of the Lithuanian economy was going to reach 3.8% in 2019, 2.4% in 2020, and 2.4% in 2021.

As indicated in the Lithuania's economic outlook published by the economists of the Lithuanian banks, Lithuania's economic prospects are considered to be positive. According to the forecasts presented by the analysts of SEB bank in September 2019², the real Lithuanian general domestic product increased by 3.6% in 2019, by 2.4% in 2020, and by 2.6% in 2021. The Swedbank analysts published Lithuania's economy outlook in the end of January 2019³: it is forecasted that the growth of general domestic product will reach 3.7% in 2019, 2.0% in 2020, and 2.5% in 2021. The projections of the Bank of Lithuania⁴, made in December 2019, showed that the gross domestic product in Lithuania was growing by 3.7% in 2019, and is going to grow by 2.5% in 2020 (see Figure 2).

As the energy consumption is closely related to the growth of general domestic product, the changes in economic growth rates in Lithuania and neighbouring countries may also affect the Company's performance results.

Overview of the situation on the wholesale electricity market

In 2019, prices fell in all of the bidding areas of the Nord Pool Nordic power exchange. Compared to 2018, the average price for systemic services was lower by app. 11% (2018 – 43.99 Eur/MWh, 2019 – 38.94 Eur/MWh), in the fourth price area of Sweden, with which Lithuania is connected by the NordBalt power link – app. 14% (2018 – 46.36 Eur/MWh, 2019 – 39.80 Eur/MWh), in Finland – app. 6% (2018 – 46.80 Eur/MWh, 2019 – 44.04 Eur/MWh), in Lithuania – app. 8% (2018 – 50.00 Eur/MWh, 2019 – 46.12 Eur/MWh), Latvia and Estonia – app. 7% (2018 – 49.90 Eur/MWh, 2019 – 46.28 Eur/MWh).

Figure 3
Electricity prices as per Lithuania price area (source: Nord Pool)

It is noteworthy that unlike in 2018, prices in Finland were more similar to those in the Baltic region and more different from the rest of the Scandinavian region in 2019, while in Lithuania at some period's prices were lower than in Latvia and Estonia. In 2019, the average price difference between Lithuania and Sweden in the fourth zone was app. 73% higher than in 2018 and reached app. 6.30 Eur MWh (2018 – app. 3.64 Eur/MWh). The highest difference was observed during June and September – app. 11–17 EUR/MWh.

In 2019, the total energy demand in the price areas of the Nord Pool power exchange decreased by app. 1.5%, wind farm production increased by app. 17%, total installed wind power capacity increased from 17 GW to almost 20 GW, hydroelectric power plant production decreased by app. 5%, nuclear power plant production changed slightly, Unit 2 of the Ringhals nuclear power plant in Sweden was shut down at the end of last year (852 MW of installed power), Ringhals 1 is scheduled to shut down at the end of 2020 (881 MW of installed power).

Annual electricity demand in Lithuania was similar to that in 2018 – app. 12 TWh (excl. Kruonis PSHP demand), in it decreased by app. 2% in Latvia and Estonia, and totalled 8 TWh and 7 TWh respectively. In 2019 Lithuania produced about 12% more electricity than in 2018, meanwhile Latvia – app. 5% less, Estonia – app. 41% less. Lithuania remains an energy-deficit country, producing around 30% of the country's demand, Latvia – app. 85%. Estonia has decided to shut down polluting oil shale fired power stations and from the energy-surplus country it turned into an energy-deficit country, producing about 74% of the country's demand.

In 2019, the balance of Lithuanian commercial imports changed. In 2019, import from third countries increased by app. 35% compared to 2018, with imports increasing significantly in the first and second quarters – app. by 84% and 76% respectively. Volumes of import remained at the same level in the third and fourth quarter compared to 2018. Electricity imports from Scandinavia, through the power line with Sweden, increased by app. 20% compared to last year: app. 42% less in the first quarter, almost three times more in the third quarter, however, similar results were observed in the second and fourth quarters compared to 2018. Export in the direction of Poland increased several times.

The operation of the Company's power plants under these conditions is described further herein.

| The power plant assures tertiary and strategic reserves to ensure safe electricity supply and reserves of the energy system.
Units 1–4 of the reserve power plant were dismantled (with total capacity of 150 MW each). Dismantling of units 5 and 6 (300 MW each) was started in 2017.
The most effective – combined cycle unit (455 MW) – provided tertiary reserve service in the scope of 260 MW in 2019. Units 7 and 8 of the reserve power plant were conserved during 2019.
Heat is produced in steam and biofuel boiler houses. | Kruonis PSHP is intended for the balancing of electricity generation and consumption, as well as for the prevention of emergency incidents within the power system and elimination of consequences thereof.
Kruonis PSHP secures the larger part of the entire emergency reserve required for the Lithuanian energy system.
As the need for regulation in-creases, and on completion of the power links with Sweden and Poland, the power plant provides more system services.
In 2019, the power plant provided secondary power reserve (emergency) services in the scope of 400 MW. Two units are reserved for these services. The remaining two units are used to produce electricity for commercial purposes. | Kaunas HPP is the largest power plant in Lithuania that uses renewable energy sources.
Depending on natural conditions, the plant produces green energy and provides system services.
Kaunas HPP contributes to the balancing of electricity generation and consumption, and levels out the power system. It is one of the power plants in the Lithuanian energy system that can start an autonomous operation in case of the total system failure. | The operations of the power plant were discontinued with effect from 31 December 2015. |

Electricity trading

As from 2019, trading in electricity produced by the Company is conducted under the agreement on the wholesale electricity market by Gamybos Optimizavimas UAB. In 2019, the increase in production was also influenced by Estonia's decision to shut down its polluting oil shale fired power stations, and from the energy-surplus country it turned into an energy-deficit country. As of November, more countries are accessible on the power exchange: additional 7 countries were added to the 14 countries already listed: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia. It is noteworthy that these countries are not only accessible, but also have increased trade opportunities with countries like Germany, which is accessed not only through Scandinavia but also through Poland.

The above-mentioned power plant capacity applies from 1 January 2016, i.e. upon decommissioning of units 5 and 6.

Provision of system services

The Company provides balancing services, as well as system services to the Lithuanian transmission system operator LITGRID. The system services ensure the stability and reliability of the energy system, prevention of and response to system emergencies, and the required power reserve in line with the established requirements for quality and reliability of electricity supply. The system services provided by the Company include power reserve, trade in regulation power and balancing power, reactive power management and system recovery services. The services ensuring isolated operation of the power system will be provided in 2020.

Power reserve services are intended to ensure reliable operation of the electricity system in the (emergency) events of unexpected drop in production of electricity or unexpected increase in electricity consumption. The producers provide secondary and tertiary power reserve maintenance services. The secondary active power reserve is the power of installations or hydro units maintained by the producer, which are activated within 15 minutes. The tertiary active power reserve is the power of power-generating sources maintained by the producer, which is activated within 12 hours. The power plants controlled by the Company provide tertiary and secondary active power reserve services. The secondary power reserve is ensured at Kruonis PSHP, whereas the tertiary power reserve is ensured at Elektrėnai Complex.

Trade in regulation power services are intended to balance the surplus and shortage of power in the energy system. Trade in regulation power is conducted in real time and ensures reliable operation of the power system on an hourly basis. When the amount of electricity in the system becomes insufficient and the TSO gives an instruction to increase its production, the Company increases the volume of electricity generation and sells the lacking amount of regulation power to the TSO. When there is surplus of power in the energy system and the TSO gives an instruction to reduce its generation, the Company reduces the volume of electricity generation and buys surplus regulation power from the TSO.

Balancing power is the actual deviation from electricity generation or consumption scheduled by the TSO. Trade in balancing power is conducted at the end of the reporting month and it encourages the market players to make accurate forecasts of their electricity generation and consumption. For instance, when the amount of electricity produced by the Company at a certain hour is lower than the scheduled one, the Company has to buy the difference from the TSO (purchase of balancing power); and vice versa, when the amount generated by the Company at a certain hour is higher than the scheduled one, the Company has to sell the difference to the TSO (sale of balancing power).

Reactive power management services are intended to level out any fluctuations in the loads of the power system and ensure the required level of voltage and frequency. Reactive power management services are provided through the units of Kruonis PSHP operating in synchronous compensator mode.

System recovery after complete failure services are intended to ensure effective activation of the power-generating source in the event of full or partial failure of power system, without using power supply from the grid. System recovery after complete failure services are provided at both Kruonis PSHP and Kaunas HPP.

Key performance indicators of power plants for 2019

In 2019, the Company generated electricity and thermal energy, provided provide tertiary and secondary active power reserve service in Elektrėnai complex, secondary active power reserve service in Kruonis PSHP and other system services.

The Company has permissions of unlimited duration to produce electricity. The amount of electricity generated in the Company's power plants during January–December 2019 differs insignificantly from that of January–December 2018 (see Figure 2). In total, 0.83 TWh of electricity generated in the Company's power plants was sold in the power exchange in 2019, 0.88 TWh in 2018 (less 6%).

In Kaunas HPP, the generation volumes were affected by the drought which started already in spring of 2019. The snow has been scarce, melted gradually and did not cause bigger floods. During summer months, the situation deteriorated – a hydrological drought has been announced in Lithuania. The drought period (with a flow rate of 112 m³/s for at least three days) lasted from July to September, with an average flow rate of about 107 m³/s, during the same period in 2018 - about 142 m³/s. Due to lower water flow rate (average water flow rate was app. 23% lower compared to 2018) in 2019, Kaunas HPP generated and sold almost 22% less electricity than in 2018 (0.35 TWh in 2018 and 0.27 TWh in 2019).

Efficient use of Kruonis PSHP potential for stabilizing electricity prices in the market (due to increased difference between daily peak and night-time electricity prices) resulted in 14.1% higher sales of the electricity produced in Kruonis PSHP in 2019 – 0.54 TWh (0.47 TWh in 2018).

Q1 and Q4 of 2019, generation in Kruonis PSHP was lower than in 2018. Decrease in production in Q1 was influenced by a 9% decline in the ratio between day and night prices, which was about 17–18% higher in the second and third quarters and about 2% lower in the last quarter compared to the same period in 2018. The price changes may have been influenced by a change in the balance of imports, as described above. Lower production volumes in the first quarter could also be influenced by about 52% higher wind power production in Lithuania, which in the second and third quarters were similar to last year, and about 35% higher in the fourth quarter. July and August in Kruonis PSHP were peak months with three times as much electricity generated in July and about 87% more in August – more than in 2018. The increase in production was also influenced by the above-mentioned decrease in domestic production in Estonia.

During 2019, the Company sold 0.055 TWh and purchased 0.023 TWh of regulation electricity (the service necessary to balance the surplus/shortage of electricity in the system).

Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019

ANNUAL REPORT

All amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

The respective amounts for January–December 2018 had been 0.075 TWh and 0.035 TWh.

Another ancillary service provided by Kruonis PSHP is the secondary power reserve, i.e. the power of facilities or hydro-units maintained by the producer activated in 15 minutes. During January–December 2019, 0.014 TWh of electricity has been produced during the activations of this service (0.015 TWh in January–December 2018). The TSO usually activates the secondary power reserve (for which two units (400 MW) of Kruonis PSHP are assigned in 2019) when there is a need to compensate a sudden drop in electricity transmitted to Lithuania. During January–December 2019, the Company sold around 3.50 TWh of the secondary power reserve – the same amount as during January–December 2018.

Generation volumes in Elektrėnai Complex remained limited during 2019 (0.025 TWh in 2019 and 0.067 TWh in 2018). In 2019, the tertiary active power reserve in the scope of 260 MW was ensured by the most effective unit of

Elektrėnai Complex – the combined cycle unit (CCU). The tertiary active power reserve is the power of power-generating sources maintained by the producer, which is activated within 12 hours. This reserve is activated by the TSO. CCU was constantly ready to produce electricity and contribute to the overall security of the energy system. The production of the combined cycle unit on a commercial basis is only available with the residual power (the power remaining from designated for the service of tertiary reserve).

The ability of the unit to operate at residual power is highly dependent on the air temperature. If the weather warms up, the unit cannot operate at the residual power. During 2019, the Company sold around 2.29 TWh of the tertiary power reserve – slightly more than during the same period in 2018 (2.28 TWh).

Figure 6

Noteworthy events during the reporting period

In May 2019, in power plants operated by the Company – Kruonis PSHP, Kaunas HPP and Elektrėnai combined cycle unit – LITGRID permed a test of Lithuanian electricity system restoration after a total failure and isolated work of a part of the system.

Planned activities of the power plants in 2020

It became clear in the end of 2019 that the tertiary reserve in the scope of 475 MW will be guaranteed by units 7 and 8 in 2020. The periodical short-term technological tests of equipment are planned in the Elektrėnai Complex.

In 2020, the services ensuring isolated operation of the power system will play an important role – to ensure the availability of energy generation facilities, necessary to maintain the system stability and balance during the isolated operation of the power system.

The secondary reserve and services ensuring isolated operation of the power system in 2020 will be provided by two Kruonis PSHP units and the CCU and Unit 8 in the Elektrėnai Complex.

The profitability of the commercial activities by means of the two remaining units and the production volumes depend mostly on the market conditions. i.e. difference in the prices of electricity in peak and non-peak periods.

After the auction at the end of 2018, by means of the CCU (with 260 MW capacity), in 2019 the Company provided the services of the tertiary active power reserve intended for the control of voltages in the transmission network of $330\mathrm{kV}$ and for the restoration of the secondary emergency power reserve.

The production volumes of Kaunas A. Brazauskas HPP will depend mostly on the Neman yield. The power plant is affected a lot by seasonality, i.e. the major part of electricity is produced at times of spring flood, whereas the smallest part of electricity is produced in cold winter and hot summer. The efforts will be put to make use of the flexible production in the power plant during those hours when the highest price is reached in the power exchange.

It is not planned to produce energy in Vilnius TPP-3 in 2020.

The Company sets availability goals for the power plants. Plants are considered available when they produce electricity or are fully prepared for production. It is planned that the average annual availability indicators in 2020 will be at least $95.0\%$ for the CCU, $96.8\%$ for Unit 7 and 8, $92.4\%$ for Kruonis PSHP, and $96.2\%$ for Kaunas HPP. In 2019 these indicators were as follows: for CCU – $98.9\%$, Kruonis PSHP – $88.9\%$ (lower than expected due to failures), Kaunas HPP – $93.9\%$.

Research projects

For the purpose of implementing a technologically and economically feasible investment policy, the Company conducts long-term strategic planning helping to identify the directions of development for the Company and the investments required for replacement or modernisation of technological equipment.

The following investments of higher value are conducted or planned by the Company:

Installation of unit 5 at Kruonis PSHP (if market conditions appear to be favourable).
Installation of solar power plant (1 MW) in at the Obeniai site.
Installation of solar power plant (3 MW) in at the Obeniai site (Stage II).
Dismantling of chimneys 1 and 2 in Elektrénai.
Storage site restoration.

The following projects were under implementation during 2019, which resulted in major changes and achievements:

Installation of hydro unit 5 at Kruonis PSHP

The Company is assessing the possibilities for the expansion of Kruonis PSHP with the installation of the fifth hydro unit. The results of the analysis show that under current market conditions the existing 900 MW capacity is sufficient for the operation of the power plant, but its expansion is important for assuring sufficient electricity capacity and competitive power system in Lithuania in future.

A large part of preparatory works for the expansion project of Kruonis PSHP has been already performed. The implementation of the project is expected to continue for about four years.

Kruonis PSHP Development Project was added to the EU list of Projects of Common Interest (PCI) in 2017, and that opened the possibility to apply for EU support under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). In January 2018, the EC approved of a partial funding of studies on the power plant's poles site and infrastructure. These studies were finalised in September 2019 by confirming that the condition of the infrastructure of Kruonis PSHP is suitable for further development: the poles of the Kruonis PSHP fifth pipeline area are in good condition and meet the requirements established in the design, and the geology of Kruonis has not changed. In 2019, the Company initiated the preparation of technological and socio-economic feasibility studies for this project. They aim to select the best technological solution for the unit meeting today's market conditions and changing needs in the context of grid synchronization with continental Europe, and to conduct a socio-economic analysis of the project. In 2019, with the biennial update and approval of the list of projects of common interest, the indicators of the Kruonis Project were assessed as eligible and the project was recognized as a project of common interest for 2020-2021.

The National Energy Independence Strategy as approved by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania on 21 June 2018 presents the expansion project of Kruonis PSHP in the list of the main electricity sector works. The project will be continued having resolved the issues relating to the

projected demand for power reserve when operating in the isolated network during the preparation for synchronisation and after synchronisation as well as technical requirements established for the facility ensuring such a power reserve.

Study of solar power plant in the reservoir of Kruonis PSHP

In cooperation with scientists of Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), the Company plans to build an experimental solar power plant floating on the water.

In the first stage of the project, it is planned to build an experimental power plant of small capacity (approx. 60 kW) and to create an algorithm that would control independently the solar power plant and battery energy storage with regard to incessantly registered network and other physical parameters and working modes of units of Kruonis PSHP. Such system would allow the power plant to provide, for example, a reliable service of primary electricity reserve. These works are planned to be completed until the end of Q1 of 2022. EU funds were obtained to support this innovative idea.

Preparatory work on the installation of the pilot plant is ongoing. A bathymetry study of the upper basin of the Kruonis PSHP was carried out, and arrangements for ice field movement measurements were made. A tender for a 60 kW power plant acquisition is expected to be launched in Q1 2020. The experimental power plant is planned to be installed in full capacity (60 kW) in 2020.

When the performance data on the experimental power plant are collected and evaluated, it will be possible to consider an opportunity to cover the whole reservoir by floating construction of solar modules. The floating solar power station in Kruonis PSHP would be the first such power plant in this region and it would be distinguished by its technical solutions. It would be possible to utilize an area of over 300 ha of the upper basin of Kruonis PSPP. The construction of the power plant would adjust to the variable water level in the basis and would be resilient to waving and ice. The capacity of the solar power plant covering the reservoir of Kruonis PSHP could reach 200–250 MW. Such amount would increase the capacity of the solar power plants operating in Lithuania now by almost three times. The amount of electricity produced by this power plant per year would be sufficient to provide more than 120 thousand of households with electricity.

Installation of solar power plant (1 MW) in at the Obeniai site

On 1 October 2019, the company Ignitis launched the platform saulésparkai.lt offering the first 1 MW solar park developed by the Company. This platform provides every resident of the country the opportunity to become a solar power plant owner and a remote generating customer. The development of solar power plant projects contributes to the implementation of the Company's and the Group's strategy for 2030 and objective of Lithuania's state to develop green energy while strengthening the national generation capacity. Expected deadline for the completion of solar power plant construction – March 2020.

Installation of solar power plant (3 MW) in at the Obeniai site (Stage II)

The first phase of the saulésparkai.It platform attracted considerable interest from residents – the 1 MW solar park was booked in less than two days. The popularity of this project and the number of bookings on the platform showed that the number of customers wishing to become a generating consumer in Lithuania was high, therefore, the decision was made to expand the first solar power plant with a total capacity of 4 MW. The development of the solar power plant is planned in Elektrėnai, on the same site where the first solar power plant is installed.

The solar power plant contract is expected to be signed in the beginning of 2020. All the solar power plant's construction and commissioning works will be carried out by the contractor.

Dismantling of chimneys 1 and 2 in Elektrėnai Complex

Considering that chimneys 1 and 2 of the Elektrėnai Complex have not been used since 2014 and their condition deteriorates every year and thus can pose an increasing threat to the safety of people, the Company initiated their dismantling project. The chimneys were constructed as early as at the beginning of the 1960s. The middle chimney with the height of 250 m will be dismantled first as its condition is the worst. This chimney was used to remove smoke emitted from units 5 and 6 that are currently being dismantled. This chimney is damaged by the occurrence of electrochemical corrosion of reinforcing bars and has signs of the emergency condition of the structure. The contract with the contractor is

scheduled to be concluded in the beginning of 2020. The dismantling of the chimney with the height of 250 m will start in the middle of 2020. The dismantling of the lower chimney with the height of 150 m will follow, which was used to emit smoke from units 1 and 4 that are currently fully dismantled. A selection procedure for environmental impact assessment carried out for the storage of chimney dismantling waste in large quantities – about 10,000 cubic meters of reinforced concrete and inner layer bricks.

Storage site restoration in Elektrėnai Complex

In 2018, the Company adopted a decision to discontinue the use of reserve heavy fuel oil in the facilities of the Elektrėnai Complex. The need for the reserve fuel during cold seasons of the year will be assured by means of natural gas. As a result, the Company sold all the heavy fuel oil at the beginning of 2019. In order to prepare the site, fuel facilities' clearing was initiated in 2019 by arranging open sources of pollution. During the period of 2019-2021, the Company plans to dismantle the reinforcing units of the fuel oil tanks, the lashing pipes of fuel oil pumping stations and reinforced concrete structures, the cleaning of drainage pits of the receiving tanks, unloading track, drainage pits of receiving reinforcement troughs and the troughs and the dismantling of the unloading track.

In 2019, all the site restoration works planned for this year were completed. Preparatory work commenced in 2020, and the following works are expected to be carried out: cleaning of the receiving tanks, unloading track, drainage pits of receiving reinforcement troughs dismantling of the unloading track.

Operational excellence, innovative activities

In order to implement one of the strategic directions – to increase operational effectiveness – the Company is moving on the path of continuous improvement based on optimization of performed functions, technological progress, implantation of innovations, and improvement of operational processes. The Company is implementing the Operational Excellence Program based on the best performance management practices (LEAN, Six Sigma etc.).

Services to external customer

The Company continued providing services to external clients in 2019. The Company offers services of wide range: automation, operation of electric and mechanical devices, hydrotechnical buildings and equipment, various power objects, rents out the buildings not used for own activities, warehousing areas and territories, offers chemical products, laboratory tests and other services.

The company successfully develops its activities in the field of solar power plant installation and maintenance. During 2019, the company carried out work on five solar power plants with a total capacity of almost 900 kW. In the field of maintenance and repair of hydroelectric power plants, the Company provided services to two companies, which jointly own over ten hydroelectric power plants in Lithuania. Few long-term contracts for shunting services were signed in 2019 (provision of services in the Elektrėnai Complex), while

Risk factors and their management

The risk management model, which is applicable in the Group, has been based on the guidance of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and the main principles of AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 (Risk management – Principles and guidelines).

The main objectives of the risk management process at the Company are as follows:

To achieve the Company's performance objectives with controllable, yet in principle acceptable deviations from these objectives;
To ensure of provision of information of the highest possible accuracy to decision makers, shareholders and other stakeholders;
To defend the Company's reputation;
To protect interests of shareholders, employees, clients, stakeholders and the society;
To ensure of the stability (including financial) and sustainability of the Company's activities.

The risk management principles provided for in the Group Risk Management Policy and other internal documents are consistently applied across the entire Group. The uniform risk management principles ensure that the management personnel of the Group companies receive risk management information covering all areas of activities. To ensure the practicality of the risk management process, specific activity areas supplement information on their activities with detailed risk assessment, monitoring, and management principles.

Aiming to ensure that risk management information and decisions correspond to recent developments and changes in

the Company's activities, the Company's risk level is re-assessed each year during a specified time period and risk management actions are established. In addition, the Company monitors existing and new risk factors on a quarterly basis and defines additional actions to manage risks, if needed.

Risk appetite and risk tolerance limits are established within the Group. Risk appetite means the level and type of risk that the Group is ready to accept aiming to implement strategic objectives. Risk appetite determined by assessing the potential impact of risk exposure in the context of financial, reputational, compliance, corruption, human safety and health and business continuity aspects. Tolerance limit means the level of risk the excess of which is not acceptable for the Group of companies and which is expressed in the results of operations or values of incidents. The risk appetite and risk tolerance limits of the Group are established and reviewed as needed by the Ignitis Group's Board. Where risk appetite and risk tolerance limits are exceeded by the Company, action plans are prepared in order to meet the mentioned thresholds. The effectiveness of the management plans is assessed by the Company's Board, the Company's Supervisory Board and the Ignitis Group's UAB Risk Management and Business Ethics Supervision Committee under the Supervisory Board.

In order to effectively manage risks arising from its activities, the Company applies the three lines of defence principle by establishing a clear segregation of duties for risk management and control between the Company's management and supervisory bodies, structural departments or functions (see Figure 7).

Figure 7 Risk management and control model

As each year, in 2019 the Company performed risk assessment for the year 2020 which included the determination of the areas where the Company's main risk

management measures and initiatives are concentrated and coordinated. The list of the main risk factors for 2020 and their management policies is presented below:

Risk factors for 2020 and their management policies

Risk factor	Sources of risk	Main risk management policies
Regulation and Compliance	Regulatory risk in the Company manifests through a complicated planning of cash flows and risk of damage to reputation. The National Energy Regulatory Council remains the main regulatory authority making the largest impact on the prices of services provided by the Company and its revenue by establishing ceilings for the prices.
The most relevant regulation issues for the Company in 2019 were as follows:
• Provision of the strategic reserve service has been halted since the start of 2019. It is likely there will not be any demand for this type of services until the development of the new power market mechanisms.
• The NERC and the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Lithuania adopted amendments to the legal acts, which are relevant for the provision of the services ensuring isolated operation of the power system and the tertiary power reserve services; As a result of these changes, the entire return on investment of CCU will have to be earned in the market in 2020.
• The EC has launched an investigation to assess if the EU State aid rules were followed when using a strategic reserve instrument which allocates proceeds of public interest services (hereinafter “the SPI”) to the Company. The Company is actively participating in the process and providing all the necessary information.	• Efforts are made to fulfil the requirements of the regulatory authority in the best possible manner as possible;
• For the purpose of ensuring compliance with new requirements, the Group’s projects engaging the best specialists of the Group with regard to the issue concerned are organised.
• Strengthening the Group-wide governance of regulation issues.
• Active contribution to the process of public coordination of legal acts.
• The long-term strategy of the Company provides for a consistent reduction of costs of regulated activities and diversification of activities;
• The management regularly reviews the relevant regulatory risks.	High
Market Developments and Competitiveness	Market changes that range from fluctuations in prices of raw materials to strategic initiatives is an inherent risk of the energy sector. The major risk currently faced by the Company arises from changes occurring in the reserve services and services ensuring isolated operation of the power system supply market. Traditional external risk sources also remain relevant, i.e. the country’s macroeconomic indicators that determine the level of consumption of electricity, heat and gas, changes in prices of raw materials as well as new markets that emerged after the launch of the NordBalt and LitPolink interconnections.	• The long-term strategy of the Company provides for a consistent increase of operational efficiency through reduction of costs for the provision of services, diversification and expansion of activities aiming to ensure the long-term stability of the Company’s activities;
• Abandonment of out-of-service production facilities;
• Bringing into use new production facilities (biofuel and steam boiler houses);
• Modernisation of CCU on purpose to increase its competitiveness in the markets of reserve services and electricity generation.	High

By creating and nurturing a culture and environment for continuous improvement, taking into the account performance and career goals, new activities, and innovation in work processes, the Company provides opportunities for its employees to engage consistently in their personal growth by developing their professional, soft and management skills

By the mean of professional training, the employees refresh their knowledge required to fulfil their job duties and obtain the necessary certificates of professional qualification and attestations.

The substitution programme is mostly focused on the production units. Such substitution is regarded as an opportunity for growth in terms of professional competences.

Market price fluctuations were the root cause for the changes in the effect of revaluation of emission allowances. Amounts are recognised net of deferred tax liability related to revaluation reserve.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 are summarised below:

2.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter 'the IFRS'), as adopted by the European Union.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, except for certain property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment losses (Note 2.5), emission allowances (Note 2.5), financial assets measured at fair value (Note 2.24) and investment property, measured at fair value (note 9).

These financial statements are presented in thousands of euros (EUR). Given that the financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, the figures may not add up due to rounding. Such discrepancies in the financial statements are considered to be immaterial. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is euro. The Company's financial year coincides with a calendar year.

2.2 Changes in accounting policies

Accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows:

a) Adoption of new and/or changed IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations

The following IFRSs and amendments thereto were adopted by the Company for the first time for the financial year ended 31 December 2019:

IFRS 16, Leases (issued on 13 January 2016 and effective from 1 January 2019.)

The Company first adopted IFRS 16 Leases in the financial year ended 31 December 2019, which had a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by International Accounting Standard 17 (IAS), instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees are required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the statement profit (loss) and other comprehensive income. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

The Company accounted for the impact of the first time adoption of IFRS 16 starting from 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach.

The Company performed the calculation of right of use asset according to the lease agreement and related liabilities under IFRS 16.

The Company recognised right of use assets and liabilities, which indicate the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 on the Company's financial statements.

The impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 on the Company's financial statements is shown in the table below:

Instead of presenting complete line items, only those items that are affected by IFRS 16 are disclosed (EUR'000)

2.2 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

The impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 on the Company's lease liabilities is shown in the table below:

	As of 01 January 2019
The future minimum lease payments under irrevocable operating lease agreements as at 31 December 2018 are as follows:	16,583

Less: Commitments relating to short-term leases	6

Lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019	4,808
Of which:
Current lease liabilities	341
Non-current lease liabilities	4,467
	4,808

Practical expedient when the Company is a lessee

When the Company is a lessee, the following expedient is applied on a case-by-case basis during the transitional period.

The Company:

Applies a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics (i.e. leases with a similar remaining lease term for a similar class of underlying asset in a similar economic environment).
Elects not to apply any transitional adjustments for leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (assets with a value of 4,000 euro or less when new).
Excludes initial direct costs on leases previously classified as operating leases from the measurement of the right-of-use assets by applying the Standard at the commencement date.
Uses hindsight, such as determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. Consistent with IAS 8, hindsight is applied only to matters of accounting estimates and judgements and therefore would not apply to matters of fact such as changes in an index or rate.

IFRS 16 does not specify how a lessee would separate and allocate lease and non-lease components of a contract upon transition when the modified retrospective method is adopted. The Company has elected to apply practical expedient to account for a lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component consistently with the Company's accounting policies (see Notes 2.6 and 2.15).

Annual Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2015-2017 Cycle (issued on 17 December 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2019)

Effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The aforementioned improvements have an effect on four standards:

IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements:

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 Income Tax:

The amended explains that an entity recognises all income tax consequences of dividends where it has recognised the transactions or events that generated the related distributable profits, e.g. in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. This requirement applies in all circumstances as long as payments on financial instruments classified as equity are distributions of profits.

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs:

The amendments to paragraph 14 clarify that, when a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, and some of the specific borrowing related to that qualifying asset remains outstanding at that point, that borrowing is to be included in the funds that an entity borrows generally.

According to the Company's management, the first-time adoption of the annual standard improvements did not have any significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation – Amendments to IFRS 9 (issued on 12 October 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2019)

The amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract (so that, from the perspective of the holder of the asset there may be 'negative compensation'), to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The first-time adoption of the amendments had no significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures – Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (issued on 12 October 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2019)

AB „Ignitis gamyba”, entity code: 302648707, address: Elektrinès str. 21, LT-26108, Elektrénai, Lithuania

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.2 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

The amendment relates to whether the measurement, in particular relating to impairment, of long-term interests in associates and joint ventures that, in substance, form part of the 'net investment' in the associate or joint venture should be governed by IFRS 9, IAS 28 or a combination of both. The amendment clarifies that entities shall apply the requirements in IFRS 9, Financial instruments, before applying requirements in IAS 28 to long-term interests to which the equity method is not applied.

In applying IFRS 9, the Company does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term interests that result from the application of IAS 28. The first-time adoption of the amendments had no significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (issued on 7 June 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2019)

The interpretation clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income taxes, are applied where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The interpretation provides guidance on considering uncertain tax treatments separately or together, examination by taxation authorities, the appropriate method to reflect uncertainty and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances. The first-time adoption of the interpretation did not have any significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement – Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits (issued on 7 February 2018 with effective date of 1 January 2019)

Effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Amendments relate to defined benefit plan whereby an entity provides post-employment benefits for an employee. In the event of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, an entity shall remeasure the net defined benefit liability or asset using the current fair value of plan assets and current actuarial assumptions, (including current market interest rates and other current market prices). The Amendments require the entity to use updated assumptions from remeasurement of defined benefits (i.e. post-employment benefits) plan to determine current service cost (increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation) and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after the plan amendment. These assumptions are covered by current actuarial assumptions (demographic, financial). So far, IAS 19 did not provide any guidance on how to determine these costs for a period after the plan amendment. By requiring the application of updated assumptions, amendments are expected to provide useful information to users of financial statements. The first-time adoption of the amendments had no significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

b) Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 and has a mandatory effective date of 01 January 2021)

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021, not yet adopted by the European Commission). IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, which has given companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using existing practices. As a consequence, it was difficult for investors to compare the financial performance of similar insurance companies. IFRS 17 is a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. The standard requires recognition and measurement of groups of insurance contracts at: (i) a risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all of the available information about the fulfilment cash flows in a way that is consistent with observable market information; plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset) (ii) an amount representing the unearned profit in the group of contracts (the contractual service margin). Insurers will be recognising the profit from a group of insurance contracts over the period they provide insurance coverage, and as they are released from risk. If a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, an entity will be recognising the loss immediately. This IFRS will have no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations as insurance services are not provided. The Standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (issued on 29 March 2018 with effective date of 1 January 2020)

On 29 March 2018, the IASB issued a revised version of its Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. The IASB has also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its purpose is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For companies who develop accounting policies based on a conceptual framework, it is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The company is currently evaluating the effect of this change to its financial statements.

Definition of a Business – Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (issued on 22 October 2018 with effective date of 1 January 2020)

The IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 (amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity is determining whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Commission. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (issued on 26 September 2019 with effective date of 1 January 2020)

2.2 Changes in accounting policies (continued)

Amendments to these standards were the result of the recommendations report on Reforming Major Interest Rate Benchmarks (interbank offered rates, IBOR) issued by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The reform involves replacement of the IBOR with an alternative risk-free rate (RFR), which would give more credibility to hedges by excluding the credit risk premium currently included in IBOR.

The reform was initiated in response to emerging global systemic risk derived from the dependence of the efficiency of financial operations on IBOR. Furthermore, there are concerns about how these rates are determined in adverse market conditions. The reform process is subject to considerable confusion and uncertainty regarding the application of the interest rate benchmark in the long run. For this reason, adjustments have been made to address the issues that arise during the transition from IBOR to RFR.

The amendments consider the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 and IAS 39, to provide a relief for the entities that already apply RFR to hedges during the period of uncertainty created by this reform:

In determining whether a forecast transaction is highly probable, an entity assumes that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedge cash flows are based is not altered as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform.
When performing prospective assessments, an entity shall assume that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged item, hedged risk and/or hedging instrument are based is not altered as a result of the interest rate benchmark reform.
IAS 39 is amended so that an entity is not required to perform a retrospective assessment of a hedge relationships directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. However, for that purpose the entity shall comply with all other hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39, including the prospective assessment.
The interest rate benchmark must be separately identified as a risk component that is only assessed/measured at the inception of the hedging relationship.

Once the uncertainty surrounding the interest rate benchmark reform disappears, the exceptions will become invalid. It is announced that further amendments will be made to the standards to establish accounting requirements following the implementation of the current interest rate benchmark reform. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on its financial statements.

Definition of Material – Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (issued on 31 October 2018 with effective date of 1 January 2020)

The amendments to these standards are intended to help entities to make judgements regarding material information and its disclosure in financial statements. For this reason, the materiality definition in IAS 1 and IAS 8 has been improved. The amendments are a response to findings that some companies experienced difficulties using the previous definition when judging which information is material and which is not. New definition of material: Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. Updates have been approved European Commission. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management is currently assessing the effect of this amendment to its financial statements.

2.3 Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. Significant influence generally accompanies a shareholding of between 20% to 50% of the voting rights.

In the financial statements of the Company, results of operation of associates are accounted for using an equity method, except when the investment is classified as held-for-sale and it is recognised according to IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the statement of financial position at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the share of the net assets of the investee, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. The Company's share of post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Losses of an associate in excess of the Company's share of assets in that associate are not recognised, unless the Company had incurred legal or indirect obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

2.4 Investment property

Investment property, which consists of the Company's buildings and constructions, is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment property is recognised initially at acquisition cost, and subsequently at fair value. The fair value of investment property is estimated by independent valuers by applying valuation models appropriate to the nature of the asset (Note 9). Investment property is not depreciated, and gain or loss on change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss for the reporting period.

Transfers to and from investment property are made only when there is an evidence of change in the purpose of use of assets. Part of the property, plant and equipment may be occupied by the Company, with the remainder being held for rental income or capital appreciation. If that part of the property occupied by the Company can be sold separately, the Company accounts for the portions separately. The portion that is owner-occupied is accounted for under IAS 16, and the portion that is held to earn rentals is accounted for under IAS 40.

2.5 Accounting of Property, Plant and Equipment

An item of assets is recognised as property, plant and equipment, if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity, the cost of the item can be measured reliably and its useful life is longer than one year.

Property, plant, and equipment

The list of the classes of property, plant and equipment set out in the accounting policies was supplemented in 2018 with the class of buildings and structures of the thermal power plant, to which the Company assigned Vilnius Thermal Power Plant No 3, acquired in 2018. Assets in this class are stated at acquisition cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Property, plant and equipment, which includes the categories of assets of hydro power plant, pumped storage power plant, combined cycle unit and reserve power plant, is accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Other property, plant and equipment is shown at revalued amounts, based on periodic (at least every 5 years) valuations performed by independent valuers, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at the date of revaluation are eliminated against gross carrying amount of the asset and net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the assets. Increases in the carrying amount arising on the first revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to revaluation reserve directly in equity and decreases are recognised in the profit and loss account. Increases in the carrying amount arising on the subsequent revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to revaluation reserve, whereas decreases in the carrying amount that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the profit or loss account. Increases in value of the property plant and equipment that offset previous decreases are taken to the profit or loss account. All other increases in the carrying amount arising on subsequent revaluations of the asset are credited to revaluation reserve. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings taking into account the effect of deferred income tax.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction. The cost of such assets includes design, construction works, plant and equipment being installed, and other directly attributable costs. Construction in progress is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Plant and equipment are stated at acquisition (production) cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Expenses for replacement of parts of some items of property, plant, and equipment as well as borrowing costs for long term construction projects are also recognized as a cost if the recognition criteria are met. When significant parts of some items of property, plant, and equipment are required to be replaced at certain intervals, the Company will depreciate them separately, taking into account the specific useful life of such parts. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised as expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred. The present value of the expected costs of decommissioning the asset when it is withdrawn from use is included in the cost of the particular asset, if the recognition criteria are satisfied.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired through business combinations is its fair value at acquisition date. Intangible assets are recognised only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these assets will flow to the Company and the value of assets can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets, except for emission rights, are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any (the Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives).

Emission allowances

Based on the EU Directive 2003/07/EC, the greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme was developed which came into force on 1 January 2005. The first period of operation of this scheme covered 3 years from 2005 to 2007; the second period covered 5 years from 2008 to 2012, and the third period covers 7 years from 2013 to 2020. The Scheme's operation period is in line with the period established under the Kyoto Agreement. The system functions on 'Cap' and 'Trade' basis. The governments of the EU Member States are required to set caps for each emission unit in the scheme and for the period of implementation. These caps are specified in the National Allocation Plan to be developed by a responsible authority of each Member State (in Lithuania – the Ministry of Environment). The National Allocation Plan determines the annual emission amount (measured as tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) for each emission unit and each period and allocates annual emission allowances.

All the operators participating in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme are entitled to use emission reduction units, recognized in the EU Emission Trading Scheme, during the period from 2008 to 2020 up to amount corresponding to a maximum of 20% allowed to them during the period from 2008 to 2012.

A Member State has an obligation to allocate emission allowances by 28 February of each year in accordance with the National Allocation Plan (part of the allowance is set aside for new entrants).

A Member State is to assure that an operator of each emission unit will submit data on the unit's actual amount of greenhouse gas emissions during the current calendar year not later than by 30 April of the next year.

The EU emission allowances are treated as intangible assets that were provided by the state or acquired by an entity in the form of non-monetary grant and that should be accounted for at fair value at the moment of their issuance or transfer.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.5 Accounting of Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

Following the initial recognition, emission allowances are remeasured at fair value based on the active market prices. On revaluation of emission allowances, any increase in carrying amount is added to the revaluation reserve within equity, whereas any decrease in carrying amount, which is excess of the previously accumulated amount in the reserve, is recognised through profit or loss. Upon the realisation of emission units, the positive balance in the revaluation reserve is recognised directly within retained earnings.

Government grant

The EU emission allowances provided to the Company at no consideration are treated as a non-monetary government grant which is recognised at fair value at the date of its receipt or issuance. Subsequently, the government grant is recognised as income in proportion to emission allowances utilised during the validity period of emission allowances or upon their disposal.

Provision for the utilisation of emission allowances

As the Group makes emissions, a liability arises to pay for these emissions to the state using emission allowances, the nominal value of which is equal to the quantity of emissions. Such liability is a provision which is estimated at a value equal to expenses to be incurred by the Company for the settlement of liability at the balance sheet date. The liability can be offset against intangible assets only when the actual quantity of emissions is approved by an appropriate regulatory state authority. Changes in the value of liability are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income under the caption of profit or loss.

Lending of emission allowances

Lending of emission allowances is a sale transaction of the Company during which emission allowances are disposed and the right to receive the same amount of emission allowances in the future is acquired. The emission allowances to be received is recognised as other non-current assets. Such assets are initially recognised at acquisition cost, and subsequently such assets are tested for impairment as described in Note 2.8.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation (amortisation) of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, except construction in progress, is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the asset. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation/amortisation method are reviewed by the Company at each year-end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from these assets. The effect of changes in estimates, if any, is accounted for on a prospective basis.

Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are as follows:

Categories of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets	Useful lives (number of years)
Buildings	20–75
Structures and equipment:
- electrical and communication devices	20–25
- electrical equipment	15–35
- other equipment	5–20
Structures and equipment of Hydro Power Plant and Pumped Storage Plant
- hydrotechnical waterway structures and equipment	75
- pressure pipelines	50
- hydrotechnical turbines	25–40
- other equipment	8–15
Structures and equipment of Reserve Power Plant
- structures and infrastructure	10–75
- thermal and electricity equipment	10–50
- measuring devices and equipment	5–10
- other equipment and tools	4–40
Structures and equipment of Combined Cycle Unit:
- structures and infrastructure	20–50
- electricity lines	20–40
- electricity generation equipment	20–50
Vehicles	4–40
Other property, plant and equipment:
- computer hardware and communication equipment	5–40
- fixtures, tools	3–15
Intangible assets	4

Gain or loss on disposal of non-current assets is calculated as the difference between the proceeds from sale and the carrying value of the disposed asset and is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Subsequent repair costs are included in the asset's carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these costs will flow to the Company and these costs can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised as expenses in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

2.5 Accounting of Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

Spare parts of high value that are expected to be used longer than one year are classified as property, plant and equipment. Spare parts are carried at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related item of property, plant and equipment

Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets to determine whether there are any indications that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the Company makes estimate of the recoverable amount of such property, plant and equipment and non-current assets to assess impairment, if any. When the recoverable amount of the asset cannot be calculated, the Company calculates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, administrative assets of the Company are allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. The recoverable amount of other non-current assets (emission allowances to be received) is determined with reference to market prices of forward or spot transactions in emission allowances.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to their present value using the discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless such an asset was previously revalued. In that case, the impairment loss is accounted for as decrease in revaluation reserve, and the excess, if any, is recognized in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless such an asset was previously revalued. In this case the reversal of the impairment loss is recognised as a revaluation increase (without exceeding the sum of previous value impairment) as described in Note 2.8.

2.6 Right-of-use assets

Accounting policy from 1 January 2019

Right-of-use asset is an asset that reflects the right of the Company to use the leased asset over the life of a lease. As at 1 January 2019, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset for all types of leases, including leases of right-of-use assets in sublease, with the exception of leases of intangible assets, short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value.

Initial measurement of right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use) and measures the asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises: the amount equal to the lease liability at its initial recognition, lease payments made at or before the commencement of the lease (less any lease incentives received), any initial direct costs incurred by the Company, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The Company incurs obligation for these costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period. The Company recognizes these costs as part of the cost of right-of-use asset when the Company incurs an obligation for these costs. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Categories of right-of-use assets	Lease term (in years)
Land	2-85
Premises	2-5
Vehicles and other equipment	2-5

Subsequent measurement of right-of-use assets

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost. Under the cost model, the Company measures a right-of-use asset at cost: less any depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

The right-of-use assets are depreciated by the Company under the depreciation requirements of IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the lessee shall depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Company presents rights-of-use assets separately from intangible and tangible assets in the statement of financial position.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.7 Financial assets

Following the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, as at 1 January 2018, the Company classifies its financial assets into the following 3 new categories:

(i) financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost;
(ii) financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
(iii) financial assets subsequently measured at fair through profit or loss.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets are classified into the afore-mentioned categories based on the business model the Company applies when managing its financial assets. The business model applied to the group of financial assets is determined at a level that reflects how all groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective of the Company. The intentions of the Company's management regarding separate instruments has no effect on the applied business model. The Company may apply more than one business model to manage its financial assets.

The business model for managing financial assets is a matter of fact and not merely an assertion. It is typically observable through the activities that the Company undertakes to achieve the objective of the business model. In determining the business model applicable for managing financial assets, the Company justifies its decision not by a single factor or activity, but in view of all relevant evidence that is available at the date of the assessment.

The Company recognises a financial asset in its statement of financial position only when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

At initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets at fair value. These assets, except for trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, are initially measured by the Company at fair value plus transaction costs if the financial asset or financial liability is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs comprise all charges and commission that the Company would not have paid if it had not entered into an agreement on the financial instrument. Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price identified under IFRS 15.

If the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

In view of the business model applied for managing the group of financial assets, the accounting for financial assets is as follows:

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

Loans granted by the Company and amounts receivable are accounted for under the business model the purpose of which is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows that can contain cash flows related to the payment of the principal amount and interest inflows.

Loans and amounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the date of the statement of financial position. These are classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables are initially recognised at cost (the fair value of consideration receivable) and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income when these assets are derecognised, impaired or amortised.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss includes financial assets held for trading, financial assets classified as measured at fair value on initial recognition and financial assets compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near future. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments (under IFRS 9).

The Company does not have any financial assets held for trading and acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term and attributes to this category only financial assets arising from the disposal of business or investments classified as non-equity contingent consideration. Financial assets that relate to cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are recognized and measured at fair value through profit or loss, regardless of the business model. Notwithstanding the above criteria for classifying debt instruments as measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, the debt instruments may be classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch. Financial assets are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, and net changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss section of the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is used in the calculation of the amortised cost of a financial asset and in the allocation of the interest revenue in profit or loss over the relevant period.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash inflows through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset that shows the amortised cost of the financial asset, before adjusting for any loss allowance. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) without considering the expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. There is a presumption that the cash flows and the expected life of a group of similar financial instruments can be estimated reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.7 Financial assets (continued)

However, when it is not possible to reliably estimate the cash flows or the expected life of a financial instrument (or group of financial instruments), the Company uses the contractual cash flows over the full contractual term of the financial instrument (or group of financial instruments).

Expected credit losses

The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost regardless of whether there are any impairment indicators.

Credit losses incurred by the Company are calculated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate. The Company estimates cash flows by considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument through the expected life of that financial instrument, including cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

Expected credit losses are measured in a way that reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes; the time value of money; and reasonable and supportable information about past events and current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and economic conditions at the reporting date.

Expected credit losses show the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks (probability) of a default occurring.

Lifetime expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the period from the date of initial recognition of a financial asset to the subsequent date of settlement of the financial asset or ultimate write-off of the financial asset.

The Company seeks for lifetime expected credit losses to be recognised before a financial instrument becomes past due. Typically, credit risk increases significantly before a financial instrument becomes past due or other lagging borrower-specific factors (for example, a modification or restructuring) are observed. Consequently, when reasonable and supportable information that is more forward-looking, rather than past due information, is available without undue cost or effort, it must be used to assess changes in credit risk.

Expected credit losses are recognised by taking into consideration individually or collectively assessed credit risk of loans granted and trade receivables. Credit risk is assessed based on all reasonable and verifiable information including future oriented information.

The lifetime expected credit losses of trade receivables are assessed based on both the collective and individual assessment basis required by IFRS 9 and measures the loss allowance at expected lifetime credit losses from initial recognition of the receivables. The Company's management decides on the performance of the assessment on an individual basis reflecting the possibility of obtaining information on the credit history of a particular borrower, its financial position as at the date of assessment, including forward- looking information that would allow to timely determine whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of that particular borrower. The Company applies a provision matrix to calculate the provision for losses in respect of trade receivables with different maturities and overdue payment periods. The non-recoverability analysis is conducted for the past 3 years in order to determine the general default ratio. In the absence of reliable sources on the credit history of a particular borrower, its financial position as at the date of assessment, including forward-looking information, the Company measures the debt on a collective basis.

The lifetime expected credit losses of other amounts receivable are assessed based on the individual assessment basis. The Company's management performs the assessment on an individual basis reflecting the possibility of obtaining information on the credit history of a particular borrower, its financial position as at the date of assessment, including forward-looking information that would allow to timely determine whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of that particular borrower, thus enabling making judgement on the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses in respect of that particular borrower.

When granting the loan, the Company assesses and recognises 12-month expected credit losses. In subsequent reporting periods, in case there is no significant increase in credit risk related to the lender, the Company adjusts the balance of 12-month expected credit losses in view of the outstanding balance of the loan at the assessment date. Having determined that the financial position of the lender has deteriorated significantly compared to the financial position that existed upon the issue of the loan, the Company records all lifetime expected credit losses of the loan. The latest point at which the Company recognises all lifetime expected credit losses of the loan granted is identified when the borrower is late to pay a periodic amount or the total debt for more than 30 days. In case of other evidence available, the Company accounts for all lifetime expected credit losses of the loan granted regardless of the more than 30 days past due presumption.

Recognition stages of expected credit losses on loans and cash and cash equivalents:

Upon granting of a loan or receiving cash or cash equivalents, the Company recognises the expected credit losses for the twelve-month period. Interest income from the loan (finance lease) or cash equivalents is calculated on the carrying amount of financial assets without adjusting it by the amount of expected credit losses.
Upon establishing that the credit risk related to the borrower or bank, where cash and cash equivalents are held, has significantly increased (reflected by accounts receivable overdue for more than 30 days and significant negative information about changes affecting the borrower, etc.), the Company accounts for the lifetime expected credit losses of the loan or finance lease agreement. All lifetime expected credit losses of a financial instruments are calculated only when there is a significant increase in credit risk relating to the borrower. Interest income from the loan (finance lease) or cash equivalents is calculated on the carrying amount of financial assets without adjusting it by the amount of expected credit losses.
Where the Company establishes that the recovery of the loan or cash equivalents is doubtful or that the condition of the lessee shows that the loan of this lessee needs to be classified as doubtful debts, the Company classifies this loan (finance lease receivables) as financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment (doubtful loans and other receivables). Interest income from the loan (finance lease) or cash equivalents is calculated on the carrying amount of financial assets which is reduced by the amount of expected credit losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.7 Financial assets (continued)

Loans for which lifetime expected credit losses were calculated are considered credit-impaired financial assets.

Credit-impaired financial assets

A financial asset is credit-impaired if there is objective evidence of the impairment, when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired, if there is objective evidence of the impairment, include observable data about the following events:

a) overdue of accounts receivable for more than 360 days;
b) significant financial difficulty of the borrower;
c) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
d) the lender, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
e) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or another financial reorganisation;
f) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
g) financial assets are purchased or granted at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

If there is objective evidence of the impairment, the combined effect of several events that may occur simultaneously or subsequently throughout the term of validity of the agreement on the financial assets may have caused financial assets to become credit-impaired.

The lifetime expected credit losses of loans receivable and trade receivables is recognised in profit or loss through the contrary account of doubtful receivables.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of financial asset or group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Company has retained the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass through" arrangement; or
the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset:
if the Company has not retained control, it derecognises the financial asset and recognises separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer;
if the Company has retained control, it shall continue to recognise the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Whether the Company has retained control of the transferred asset depends on the transferee's ability to sell the asset. If the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer, the Company has not retained control. In all other cases, the Company has retained control.

The Company writes off the loans receivable and trade receivables when it loses the right to receive contractual cash flows from financial assets.

Other assets

Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The previously recognised impairment loss is reversed when there are indications that recognised loss on impairment of an asset no longer exists or has reduced significantly. The reversal is accounted for in the same caption of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as the impairment loss.

2.8 Inventories

Inventories are initially recorded at acquisition cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Acquisition cost of inventories includes acquisition price and related taxes, and costs associated with bringing inventory into their current condition and location. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs of completion, marketing and selling expenses.

2.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash at banks, demand deposits and other highly liquid investments (up to 3 months original maturity) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.10 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company

Recognition of instruments as debt or equity instruments

Debt or equity instruments are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the arrangement.

Equity instruments

Equity instrument is any contract that evidences an interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the value of the proceeds received net of direct issue costs. Share premium represent the difference between the nominal value of shares and the proceeds received.

Financial liabilities

Liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or other financial liabilities. The Company does not have any financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially recognised at fair value, less transaction costs.

In subsequent periods, other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expenses are recognised using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

If a financing agreement concluded before the balance sheet date proves that the liability was non-current by its nature as of the date of the balance sheet, that financial liability is classified as non-current.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

2.11 Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for in the euros using the exchange rate announced by the Bank of Lithuania on the dates of transaction, which approximate market exchange rates. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the euros using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into the euros are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the reporting period.

The applicable rates used for principal currencies were as follows:

	As at 31 December 2019	As at 31 December 2018
1 USD	0.8902 EUR	0.8734 EUR

Items reported in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). For the purpose of the financial statements, financial performance results and financial position of the Company are presented in the euros, which is the functional currency and presentation currency of the Company.

When preparing the Company's financial statements, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the company (in foreign currencies) are carried using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. At each balance sheet date monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value and denominated in foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items carried at cost and denominated in foreign currency are not converted.

2.12 Grants

Asset-related grants

Asset-related government and the European Union grants and third party compensations comprise grants received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the acquisition of non-current assets. Grants are initially recognised at fair value of the asset received and subsequently accounted for in the profit and loss section of the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income over the period and in proportion in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.12 Grants (continued)

Income-related grants

Government and the European Union grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant. These grants are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, less related expenses.

2.13 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Company expects that provision amount in part or in full will be compensated, e.g. under an insurance contract, compensation to be received is recorded as a separate asset, but only when it is virtually certain. The provision related expenses are accounted for in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at net value in respect of the compensated amounts. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is discounted using the effective pre-tax discount rate based on the interest rates for the period and taking into account specific risks associated with the provision as appropriate. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provision recognition, from electricity services is described in Note 2.18

2.14 Employee benefits

Social security contributions

The Company pays social security contributions to the State Social Security Fund (the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution is a plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and included in payroll expenses.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

Bonus plans

The Company recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Provisions for pension benefits

The Company is obliged to pay 2 months' salary for each employee, who is entitled to or receiving an old-age pension, when he/she is leaving the job at or after the start of pension period or after termination of their contract of indefinite duration on his/her own initiative. By complying with the methodology, the Company estimates the liability at the end of the reporting period based on the number of employees, age, length of service and actuarial demographics provided by the Department of Statistics of the Republic of Lithuania, and recognizes this liability in the financial statements at present value discounted at the market rate of interest.

2.15 Leases

Determining whether an agreement is a lease is based on information at the date of signature of the agreement. The evaluation shall address whether the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

The Company is a lessor

Operating lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Accounting policy, prior to 1 January 2019

Finance lease – where the Company is a lessee

The Company accounts for finance leases as assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position at the lower of the fair value of assets leased on the commencement of lease and the present value of minimum finance lease payments. The present value of minimum lease payments is determined using a discount rate equal to interest rate charged on lease payments, if possible, to distinguish, otherwise general interest rate on the Company's borrowings is used. Direct initial outflows are included in the asset value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.15 Leases (continued)

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The depreciation is accounted for financial lease assets and financial lease also gives rise to financial expenses in the Company's statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income for each accounting period. The calculation of depreciation for assets acquired under finance lease is analogous to that used for own assets, however, such assets cannot be depreciated over a period longer than the lease period, provided that the ownership is not transferred to the Company at the end of the validity term of the finance lease contract.

When the outcome of sale or leaseback transaction is finance lease, any gain on sale in excess of the carrying amount is not recognised as income immediately and rather it is deferred and amortised over the period of finance lease.

Operating lease – where the Company is a lessee

Leases of property, plant and equipment where a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership is retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Total benefit of lease incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of lease expenses over the lease period on a straight-line basis

When the outcome of sale or leaseback transaction is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been concluded at fair value, any gain of loss is recognised immediately. When the selling price is lower than the fair value, any gain or loss is recognised immediately, except for cases when losses are covered by lease payments lower than market prices in future, in which case they are deferred and amortised in proportion to lease payments over the period during which the asset is expected to be used. When the selling price is higher than the fair value, the excess amount is deferred and amortised over the period during which the asset is expected to be used.

2.16 Lease liabilities

Accounting policy, after 1 January 2019

Initial measurement of lease liability

At the commencement date, the Company measures lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Company applies incremental borrowing rate.

At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date: fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable; variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising an option to terminate the lease. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate include, for example, payments linked to a consumer price index, payments linked to a benchmark interest rate (such as LIBOR) or payments that vary to reflect changes in market rental rates.

The company includes payment for land lease, which depends on an annually indexed land lease tax, which are fixed in substance due to the fact that they are of fixed amount and is obligatory to be paid

Subsequent measurement of lease liability

After the commencement date, a lessee shall measure the lease liability by: increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Interest on the lease liability in each period during the lease term shall be the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability. The periodic rate of interest is the discount rate or if applicable the revised discount rate.

After the commencement date, the Company shall recognise in profit or loss, unless the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset applying other applicable Standards, both: interest on the lease liability; and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Remeasurement of lease liability

After the commencement date, the lease liability is remeasured to reflect changes to the lease payments. The Company recognises the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, a lessee shall recognise any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.

Revised discount rate

The Company remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate, if there is a change in the lease term. The Company determines the revised lease payments on the basis of the revised lease term or when there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, assessed considering the events and circumstances. The Company determines the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts payable under the purchase option.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.16 Lease liabilities (continued)

If there is a change in the lease term or in the assessment of an option to purchase, the Company determines the revised discount rate as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the of the revised lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

Unchanged discount rate

The Company remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using the original discount rate, if either:

there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee. The Company determines the revised lease payments to reflect the change in amounts expected to be payable under the residual value guarantee.
there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including for example a change to reflect changes in market rental rates following a market rent review. The Company remeasures the lease liability to reflect those revised lease payments only when there is a change in the cash flows (i.e. when the adjustment to the lease payments takes effect).

The Company determines the revised lease payments for the remainder of the lease term based on the revised contractual payments.

The Company uses an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates. In that case, the lessee shall use a revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate.

Lease modifications

A lessee shall accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if both:

the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and
the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the standalone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that standalone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, at the effective date of the lease modification the Company:

allocates the consideration in the modified contract;
determines the lease term of the modified lease; and
remeasures the lease liability by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by:

decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease. The Company recognises in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset for all other lease modifications.

The Company presents lease liabilities in the statement of financial position separately from other liabilities. Interest expense on the lease liability are presented separately from the depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset. Interest expense on the lease liability is a component of finance costs, which is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.17 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions.

As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company's management analysed the Company's activities by separating them into regulated and commercial activities. The regulated activities include the Reserve Power Plant's revenue from heat and electricity production, balancing and regulation, capacity reserve services, including capacity reserve revenue of Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant. The commercial activities include electricity trade in a free market, electricity generation at Kaunas Algirdas Brazauskas Hydro Power Plant and Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant, related balancing and regulation services and other activities (including Vilnius Thermal Power Plant No 3). Administrative expenses are allocated between the regulated activities and the commercial activities based on operating expenses.

2.18 Revenue and expense recognition

The Company recognises revenue under contracts with customers at the time and to the extent that the transfer of goods or services promised to customers would show the amount which corresponds to a consideration, the right to which is expected to be obtained by the Company in exchange for those goods or services. When recognising revenue, the Company takes into consideration terms of contracts signed with customers and all significant facts and circumstances, including the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty relating to cash flows arising from the contract with the customer.

Revenue from provision of public service obligation (PSO) services

The Company commits to render the services that serve the public interest in accordance with the procedures and terms established by the regulatory legal acts, including ensuring power system reserves in predetermined power plants the activity of which is essential for the purpose of ensuring energy security of the state. The benefits of the services of ensuring power system reserves are brought to customers throughout the period of the service, during which, accordingly, the seller carries out its performance obligation.

When entering into an agreement, the customer commits to compensate the expenditures necessary for maintaining the reserve (including the expenditure incurred during electricity production tests). In view of the above, the progress of fulfilment of the performance obligation is assessed considering the actual duration of providing the service, the provision of which ensures the electricity system reserve.

In the agreement with the customer, the provided receives payments in fixed, equal portions, over the duration of the provision of the service.

2.18 Revenue and expense recognition (continued)

Revenue from trade in electricity

The sales of electricity produced using own resources are conducted at the Power Exchange (hereinafter 'the Exchange') by submitting electricity sale offers to the Exchange. On the Day-Ahead market, the transaction for the purchase and sale of electricity is considered as concluded if the automatic coupling algorithm does not by default reject the submitted offer of selling electricity. Transactions on the Intraday market are approved by market participants. Following the approval of the transaction, the system of the Exchange sends a confirmation of the concluded electricity sale transaction to the seller. The seller's performance obligation under the concluded transaction is to supply the volume of electricity as indicated in the seller's offer to the electricity transmission system. The performance obligation is to be carried out throughout a certain period during which the supply of the agreed volume of electricity is maintained to the network. The progress of fulfilment of the performance obligation is assessed considering the volume of electricity indicated in respect of the transaction.

The price of the transaction and consideration to be paid to the seller correspond to the amount indicated in the confirmation notice of the transaction. The entire consideration of the seller payable at a flat rate. Upon receipt of the confirmation on the conclusion of the transaction on the sale of electricity, the prices of that transaction remain unchanged.

Revenue is recognised considering the actually supplied electricity pertaining to the transaction, without any deduction of commissions that might be deducted by trading intermediaries representing the Company at the Exchange.

Revenue from electricity-related services

Other revenue from the services related to energy supply comprises the following:

1) revenue from generation of electricity of the active capacity reserve,
2) revenue from assurance of the capacity reserve,
3) revenue from reactive power and voltage management services,
4) system recovery after the total accident, including isolated operation testing (hereinafter 'the Services').

The customer receives the benefits of other services related to energy supply at the same time the service is actually rendered to the customer. The customer may consume the benefits of the services separately or together with other services rendered to the customer. In the agreement, the services to be rendered to the customer are defined separately from other services stipulated under the agreement. The services are rendered per customer. The performance obligation under the agreement concluded with the customer is to be carried out throughout the period of validity of the agreement. The progress of fulfilment of the performance obligation is assessed considering the volume of services rendered, stated at electricity and power measurement units (kWh, MW/h, etc.).

Under the agreement concluded with the customer, the customer is provided an option to acquire additional services and regulating electricity on demand. The customer is not obligated to acquire from the seller any amount of additional services defined (in the agreement). The fixed consideration for the service of system recovery after the total accident, including the service of isolated operation testing, is to be paid to the seller as per agreement. The seller is entitled to 1/12 of the total price of the service each month. In view of the above, the whole of the agreement concluded with the customer is assessed at the moment of signing the agreement and the total consideration is attributed to the identified performance obligation.

For the purpose of its performance obligations, the seller recognises revenue pursuant to the provisions of IFRS 15 (paragraphs B39-B43) regarding customer options for additional goods or services, under which the revenue recognised is actually consistent with the invoices issued to the customer for the services relating to the supply and assurance of the active power and management of the reactive power rendered over time. Moreover, the seller additionally recognises 1/12 of the total price of the agreement that the seller intends to pay for the services of system recovery after the total accident, including isolated operation testing, throughout the term of validity of the agreement, i.e. within one year.

Revenue from supply of thermal energy

Under the agreements concluded with the customers, the seller commits to supply thermal energy to its customers in compliance with the defined technical requirements (temperature graph, pressure, flow, quality of thermofication water, etc.). Under the agreement concluded with the customer, the single performance obligation that the seller commits to is the supply of thermal energy. The customer receives and simultaneously consumes the benefits of the service relating to the supply of thermal energy at the same time the seller carries out its performance obligation. The seller carries out its performance obligation throughout the period of validity of the agreement. The progress of fulfilment of the performance obligation is assessed considering the volumes of thermal energy actually supplied to the customer as determined on the basis of data of metering devices.

In the agreement concluded with the customer, the consideration paid to the Company comprises the fixed part and the variable part. The fixed part comprises the customer's payments for the actually supplied thermal energy. The variable part arises due to default interest (interest on late payment) to be paid by the customer to the seller in cases where the customer fails to timely reimburse for the services rendered.

The Company recognises revenue considering the volumes of thermal energy actually produced and supplied to the customer at the price calculated with reference to the methodology on the establishment of the heating price as approved by the National energy regulatory commission (hereinafter – NERC).

Services of purchase of electricity generated by wind farms

Under IFRS 15, the Company does not receive consideration for the purchase of electricity from renewable energy resources and the payment of PSO funds to energy producers. The administrator of PSO funds only reimburses the expenditures of the seller; however, since the seller does not receive any consideration for the performance of the purchase function itself, the seller does not account for any proceeds in the statement of profit or loss related to the functions of the purchasing company that are served by the Company under the agreement concluded with the administrator of PSO funds. The Company acts as an agent.

Tariff regulation

Tariffs for electricity transmission and PSO services are regulated by the NERC by establishing the upper limit for tariffs of the transmission services and prices for PSO services. Specific prices for the transmission and PSO services are established by the supplier of the service within the limits approved by the Commission.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.18 Revenue and expense recognition (continued)

Tariffs of electricity sold by the producers and independent suppliers of electricity as well as tariffs for capacity reserves are not regulated, except the cases when the producer or supplier is recognised as an undertaking with significant power following the respective market research by the NERC. In which case, the procedure for tariff setting is established by the NERC.

Tariffs for imported and exported electricity are not regulated.

The Company generates income from public service obligation fees (PSO service fees). PSO service fees are the fees payable to the producers of electricity under a public service obligations scheme based on pre-determined annual quantities and prices of services set by the NERC. The tariff is established by the NERC based on the estimates of variable and fixed electricity production costs provided by the producers. Thus, the difference between accrued income and actually paid amounts during a year is recognised as non-current amounts receivable (Income to be refunded) or amounts payable (deferred income) under the caption 'Other financial assets' or 'Provisions'. At the end of the next year, this amount is reclassified as a current amount receivable/payable under the caption 'Other financial assets' or 'Provisions'.

Other income

Other revenue is recognized in the Company when control over the goods or services is transferred. Other income in the Company includes:

1) income from property, plant and equipment found during the inventory;
2) profits from the sale of materials;
3) income from property rent;
4) revenue from new products and services;
5) other income

In the Company, sales of goods and services are recognized as revenue on the basis of invoices to customers, which are issued immediately after the sale of goods or provision of services. If the service contract lasts for more than one month, the terms of the billing shall be set out in the contract terms

Interest income is recognised on accrual basis considering the outstanding balance of debt and the effective interest rate. Interest received is recorded in the statement of cash flows as cash flows from investing activities.

Expense recognition

Expenses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred by the accrual method.

2.19 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the costs of those assets until those assets are completely ready for use or sale. Interest income that relate to temporal investment of borrowed funds until their use for the acquisition of the assets are deducted from the acquisition cost of the assets.

Other borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in profit or loss for that period in which they are incurred.

2.20 Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense consists of the current year income tax and deferred tax expense.

Income tax

The current year income tax charge is based on taxable pre-tax profit for the year as modified by the items of income or expenses that are not subject to tax or deductible. Tax rates used to compute income tax expense are those applicable at the date of the preparation of the financial statements. Income tax rate was 15% in 2019 and 2018. The current year income tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to (respectively) the taxation authorities. The prepaid income tax and recognized income tax liabilities are offset in the statement of financial position when they relate to the same taxation authority.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liability are recognised for future tax purposes to reflect differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised on all temporary differences that will increase the taxable profit in future, whereas deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that is probable to reduce the taxable profit in future. However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from initial recognition of goodwill (or negative goodwill); or if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available for the Company to realise all or part of deferred tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are estimated using the tax rate that has been applied when calculating income tax for the year when the related temporary differences are to be realised or settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where they relate to taxes assessed by the same fiscal authority and where there is a right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

2.20 Current and deferred income tax (continued)

Income tax and deferred income tax for the reporting period

Income tax and deferred income tax expenses (benefit) are recognised in profit or loss, except for the cases when tax arises from a transaction or event that is recognised directly in equity. In which case the deferred taxes are also recorded in equity.

Transfer and acquisition of accrued tax losses

Upon transfer of the accumulated tax losses to Group companies, the Company derecognises deferred tax on the tax loss carried forward and recognizes the consideration receivable through the statement profit and loss and other comprehensive income under 'Deferred income tax expense'.

When tax losses are acquired, the Company accounts for deferred tax assets and payables for the acquired tax losses through the deferred tax expenses. These tax losses incurred are deducted by the Company from the deferred income tax account when utilised.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, the consideration received for the transfer of the tax losses and the payments for the tax losses acquired are presented in the cash flows from operating activities under the caption 'income tax (paid)'.

2.21 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary registered shares in issue. Where the number of shares changes without causing a change in the economic resources, the weighted average of ordinary registered shares is adjusted in proportion to the change in the number of shares as if this change took place at the beginning of the previous period.

As at 31 December 2019, the weighted average number of shares, based on which the earnings per share are calculated was 648,002,629 (31 December 2018: 644,463,173).

2.22 Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, except for contingent liabilities in business combinations. They are disclosed in the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits is probable.

2.23 Subsequent events

Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Company's position at the reporting date (adjusting events) are accounted for as of the reporting date. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when their effect is material.

2.24 Related parties

Related parties to the Company are defined as shareholders, employees, members of the Board, their close family members and companies that directly or indirectly (through the intermediary) control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company, provided such relationship empowers one of the parties to exercise the control or significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

2.25 Offsetting

Financial assets and a financial liabilities are offset and recognized on a net basis when the entity legally has an enforceable right of set-off and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the financial asset and settle the financial liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any offset financial assets and financial liabilities.

For the financial assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements mentioned above, each agreement between the Company and the counterparty allows to offset the relevant financial assets and liabilities when both elect to settle on a net basis. In the absence of such an election, financial assets and liabilities will be settled on a gross basis, however, each party to the master netting agreement or similar agreement will have the option to settle all such amounts on a net basis in the event of default of the other party. Per terms of each agreement, an event of default includes: failure by a party to make payment when due; failure by a party to perform any obligation required by the agreement (other than payment) if such failure is not remedied within periods of 30 to 60 days after notice of such failure is given to the party or bankruptcy.

2.26 Fair value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the assumption that selling an asset or settling a liability occurs either in the primary market for a given asset or liability, or in the absence of a primary market in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when acquiring the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. There are three levels in the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, provided below. The hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole

Level 1: fair value of assets is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: fair value of assets where the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: fair value of assets where the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement are unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

3. Critical accounting estimates and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by EU, requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs and contingencies. Future events 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. The significant management judgements regarding the application of the accounting policies and the main sources for estimation uncertainties used in the preparation of those financial statements are consistent (except for the correction of error described in Note 4) with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. There are no other areas where significant and complex judgements have to be made, or areas in which assumptions and accounting estimates are made that materially affect the financial statements, except for the following areas:

Income tax

The Tax Authorities may at any time during 3 successive years after the end of the reporting tax year inspect the Company's books and accounting records and impose additional taxes or fines. The Company's management is not aware of any circumstances that might result in a potential material liability in this respect.

Accounting estimates relating to the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Management estimates the useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets at the time of acquisition and reviews them annually. The useful life is determined by reference to the past experience with similar assets and probable future events that may affect the useful life.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Company makes an assessment, at least annually, whether there are any indications that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment has been impaired.

As at 31 December 2019, the Company's management assessed the external factors (changes in economic and regulatory environment, market composition, interest rates, etc.) and the internal factors (changes in the purpose of use and useful life of assets, cash flow generation capacity of assets, etc.) that might impact the value of non-current assets. In view of this, it was decided to carry out an impairment test of the Elektrénai Complex (EC) as a cash-generating unit. Following the EC impairment test and after deducting grants, the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of EC. The main aspects of testing are described below. No impairment indications were identified for the remaining property, plant and equipment.

In line with the decisions of the NERC on the regulated prices of EC services in 2020 and volume of services of EC for future periods, the Company's management treated the EC as a single cash generating unit.

EC is treated as a single cash generating unit based on the following:

EC commonly shared infrastructure, which is necessary for electricity generation facilities: For Units 7 and 8 and a combined cycle unit, (hereinafter "the CCU").
The electricity transmission system operator (hereinafter "the TSO") informed that all EC units owned by the Company, which do not provide tertiary active power reserve service (hereinafter - "the Reserve"), will be used to provide services ensuring isolated operation of the power system in 2020.
One of the EC electricity generation facilities provides both services at a partial capacity, i.e. services ensuring isolated operation of the power system is provided by using the capacity not allocated to the Reserve service.
The Reserve Service Agreement provides for the possibility of exchanging the reserve service equipment with other equipment managed by the Company that meets the technical requirements.
The electricity and thermal power generation, capacity reserve services, as well as services ensuring isolated operation of the power system at the EC are considered to be regulated activities.
The Biofuel and Steam Boiler Plants share the same infrastructure with other facilities of the EC (electricity connections, thermal power networks, other pipelines, pumps, chemical bar, etc.), which represents the major part of all assets operated by the EC. The steam boilers have been mounted in the same building, which is used for the services provided by Combined-Cycle Unit, and the main purpose of use of the boilers (99.9% of assets of the Steam Boiler Plant are attributed to this area) is to activate the electricity generation units of the EC from "cold" operation mode and to generate steam energy that is necessary to support the infrastructure of the EC;
The Biofuel and Steam Boiler Plants also supply thermal power that is necessary to support the infrastructure of the EC and to activate the electricity generation units of the EC.

The recoverable amount of cash generating unit was estimated with reference to the value in use calculations. These calculations take into account the forecasts of financial performance results prepared by the management for the period of five years. Continuous cash flow is estimated using the discounted cash flow in the fifth year.

The management estimated the projected operating profit in view of historical data, forecasts of market position and the legal acts in effect, as well as based on the relevant resolutions of the NERC, the Ministry of Energy, and the Government. Key assumptions used in performing the impairment test as at 31 December 2019 were as follows:

The value in use was estimated with reference to the most up-to-date budget for the year 2020 and the management's forecast covering the period 2021-2024, the projected pre-tax discounted cash flows using a pre-tax weighted average capital cost (WACC) of $5.18\%$. The WACC was estimated with reference to risk-free borrowing cost, the risk premium for the equity and the relative risk rate for the sector, calculated using publicly available market data and based on the terms and conditions of the new credit agreement.

3. Critical accounting estimates and estimation uncertainties (continued)

Cash flow forecasts are prepared by the management as a result of financial projections based on the financial performance results, market development expectations and regulatory environment. The forecast of revenue from regulated activities also take into account the depreciation expenses of property, plant and equipment and the return on investments, which is calculated on a proportion of the value of the assets used in the regulated activities. When estimating return on investments for 2020, the management used the rate of return on investments set by the NERC for this year, which was 5.07%. The rate of return on investment for 2021–2024 was calculated in accordance with The Methodology of Determination of the Rate of Return on Investments approved by the Order No O3-510 of the National Energy Regulatory Council (hereinafter "the NERC") of 22 September 2015 has been approved by the Methodology for Determining the Rate of Return on Investments, taking into account the most current market information and long-term forecasts and amounts to 3.20–3.40%. Long-term cash flow forecasts were prepared taking into the account volume of services in 2020 and the legal framework applicable to them.

As a result of the impairment test in EC, it was determined that the assets' recoverable amount of EUR 226 million exceeded their carrying amount (less grants) of EUR 185 million as of 31 December 2019. Accordingly, no impairment was recognised. The sensitivity of the recoverable amount to changes in the WACC (discount rate) is presented in the table below. If the WACC increased by 0.5%, the recoverable amount of EC would amount to EUR 199 million or to EUR 179 million, if the WACC increased by 1.0%. The table below also reveals the dependence of recoverable amount on the long-term cash flow growth assumption. The impairment test was based on a long-term cash flow growth assumption of 2%.

Recoverable amount compared to carrying amount, EUR million	-30	-19	-5	13	36	68	115

As at 31 December 2017, the Company's management assessed the external factors (changes in economic and regulatory environment, market composition, interest rates, etc.) and the internal factors (changes in purpose of use and useful life of assets, cash flow generation capacity of assets, etc.) that might impact the value of non-current assets, and recognised EUR 31,384 thousand of impairment losses for energy units No 7 and 8 of Elektrénai Complex, EUR 757 thousand of impairment losses for two fuel oil reservoirs, and EUR 339 thousand of impairment losses for a tank. No impairment indications were identified for the remaining property, plant and equipment or, upon the impairment test, it was determined that the recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount, less grants.

Similar consideration of internal and external factors as of 31 December 2018 indicated no potential impairment of PPE.

The Company, as a lessor, determines the lease term under the option of extension or termination

The Company defines the lease term as an irrevocable lease term, which includes periods, during which the company has the option to extend the lease, if it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised, or periods, during which the company has the option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably known that such option will not be exercised.

The Company has several lease agreements with options for renewal or termination. The Company determines whether it is reasonably certain that the option to extend the lease will be exercised or whether the option to terminate the lease will not been exercised. It considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive to exercise the option to extend the lease or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses whether it is reasonably aware that it will exercise the option to extend the lease or exercise the option to terminate the lease when a material event occurs or circumstances change materially.

Leases - Calculation of incremental borrowing rate

The company cannot easily determine the interest rate implied by the lease, so it applies an incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure its lease obligations. IBR is the interest rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow a similar amount of funds over a similar period of time, in order to acquire assets similar in nature to right of use assets in question, in similar economic conditions.

Provisions

As emissions are made, a liability is recognised for the obligation to deliver allowances equal to emissions that have been made. This liability falls within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. It is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The liability is estimated at the market price multiplied by the number of allowances required to cover emissions made up to the reporting date. The Company estimates the provisions for emission allowances based on actual quantity of emission during the reporting period multiplied by the market price of one emission allowance. The quantity of actual emissions is approved by a responsible state authority during four months after the end of the year. The provision accounted for as at 31 December 2018 was consistent with actual quantities of emissions that were confirmed in 2019. The Company's management, based on its own experience, does not expect any significant differences to arise between the estimated provision at 31 December 2019 and the quantity of emissions which will be approved in 2020.

3. Critical accounting estimates and estimation uncertainties (continued)

At each reporting date, the Company estimates the provision for the dismantling of units 5–6 and chimneys taking into account the expected economic outflows, which will be incurred in the future, when dismantling works will be actually performed.

Accrued revenue from public service obligation fees (hereinafter 'the PSO')

The Company rendered PSO until 31 December 2018. Fees received for PSO were allocated to the maintenance of the infrastructure of the Elektrénai Complex, to cover expenses related to the testing of the necessary electricity generation facilities and relatively fixed costs of equipment used for provision of services. Infrastructure maintenance costs cover fuel, emission allowance and other production costs that are incurred in the course of generation of heat which is necessary to support infrastructure, as well in the course of generation electricity which is consumed by the Elektrénai Complex, and gas consumption capacity taxes.

Allocated amount of PSO funds is determined for the next calendar year by the National Energy Regulatory Council (hereinafter 'the NERC'), in view of the projected costs of the Company. According to the Company's management assessment, the Company has an irrevocable obligation to receive or pay the resulting difference in accordance with applicable laws regarding the PSO funds.

As at 31 December 2019, the Company recognised PSO funds to be refunded by the state during next 12 calendar months in the amount of EUR 1,039 thousand. As at 31 December 2018: the company accounted for EUR 2,765 thousand a payable amount for the same service in current liabilities under the caption 'Provisions'.

Additionally, EUR 4,875 thousand of funds to be refunded to the state were recognized in the non-current liabilities under the caption 'Provisions' as of 31 December 2018. As at 31 December 2019, no non-current PSO funds receivable or payable were recognised.

As at 31 December 2018, non-current amount payable was carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate approach. When discounting the payable PSO funds during the period of refunding, a discount rate of 0.92% was used, and discounting effect of EUR 86 thousand as at 31 December 2018, excluded from the above amounts, was recognised within 'Other financial income'.

As at 31 December 2019, the discounting effect was recalculated for both - amounts receivable and payable of PSO services, capacity reserve services and system maintenance services, and the overall discounting effect, excluded from the above mentioned amounts, amounted to EUR 151 thousand as at 31 December 2019.

At the end of 2019, the Company updated its estimate associated with the PSO funds receivable and payable for 2018 pursuant to the NERC's decisions on setting prices. The adjusted estimate was largely due to the regulator's evaluation of accounts receivable and payable, included in the PSO funds for 2018, made when setting the prices for regulated services in 2020 and its decision to evaluate the difference between planned and factual expenses in 2018 by reference to services rather than equipment.

In 2018, the PSO funds receivable and payable were stated taking into the account the relevant information available to the Company, applicable legal provisions and practices applied by the NERC. As at 31 December 2018, the amount of EUR 4,875 thousand to be refunded was recognised in non-current liabilities under the caption "Provisions". Following the decisions adopted by the NERC in 2019 on the prices for regulated services in 2020, the Company recognised PSO funds to be refunded after 12 calendar months in the amount of EUR 1,039 thousand in current assets under the caption "Other financial assets".

Regulated activity: Accrual of income and regulatory provisions from capacity reserve and system services

Profitability of the Company is regulated by the NERC through the service tariffs approved for the next periods. The level of tariffs depends on the projected costs and volume of services for the next period, the extent to which the previous period earnings are at variance with the regulated level, and other factors.

Actual costs incurred by the Company during the year may be at variance with the projected costs that are considered during the approval of the tariffs, and the actual volume of services may be at variance with the projected one. Accordingly, the actual earnings of the Company may be at variance with the regulated level, and the resulting difference will affect the future tariffs of services.

On 14 November 2019, the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) adopted a resolution No O3E-715 'On Approval of the Methodology for Establishing the Prices for Electricity, Capacity Reserve Services and Services Ensuring Isolated Operation of the Power System' (hereinafter 'the Methodology'). This Resolution stipulates that Companies that discontinue capacity reserve services shall reimburse any discrepancies between the projected and actual costs of providing these services to the transmission system operator if the costs actually incurred by the Company were less than the revenues received from the transmission system operator. If the actual costs incurred by the Company were higher than the income of the transmission system operator, the transmission system operator shall reimburse this amount to the Company.

With regard to the resolution above, the Company recognises assets and liabilities of the regulated activities that are intended to eliminate the mismatches between the current year earnings and the regulated level, regardless of the difference under the of provision of services in the future.

Due to the change in legislation, the management of the Company accounted for EUR 7,630 thousand to be refunded to the Transmission system operator for tertiary capacity reserve and system services in the non-current liabilities under the caption 'Provisions', while EUR 475 thousand of receivables related to secondary active capacity reserve were accounted for in the non-current assets under the caption 'Other Financial asset' as at 31 December 2019. As at 31 December 2019, EUR 5,060 thousand of funds receivable for system services were accounted for in the current assets under the caption 'Other financial assets'. As at 2018.12.31, and before adoption of resolution No O3E-715, such regulatory assets and liabilities did not qualify for recognition under IFRS, as disclosed in Note 4 below.

3. Critical accounting estimates and estimation uncertainties (continued)

In 2014, the NERC adopted a resolution, by which the Company was declared as an undertaking with significant power in the electricity generation market. Based on this resolution, earnings from sale of electricity generated at the Company's hydroelectric plants were subject to restriction by deducting the respective amount from the PSO funds approved for the Company. On 17 October 2016, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced its judgement based on which the aforementioned resolution of the NERC was repealed. As at 31 December 2019, the amount of the Company's contingent assets (these contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements) related to the legal dispute concerning the NERC decision, by which the Company was declared as an undertaking with significant power in the electricity generation market and thus the amount of the payable PSO funds was additionally reduced by EUR 2.51 million, amounted to EUR 2.51 million and remains unchanged from 31 December 2018.

4. Correction of Errors

When preparing these financial statements, the Company has made the following adjustments for prior periods:

1) In 2019, the Company reviewed accounting principles for recognition of revenues, receivables, and payables related to secondary active capacity reserve, tertiary capacity reserve, accident prevention and mitigation, and power handling services (hereinafter 'the Regulatory activities'), which prices are regulated by the NERC, in financial statements. Tariffs for these regulatory activities for the next calendar (financial) year are set by NERC based on the Company expenses forecasted for the next financial year, taking into account planned and factual revenue and expense differences in the prior financial year period.

When preparing its annual Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, the Company reported these regulatory activities revenues in the financial statements using the accrual principle based on factual expenses incurred, i.e. regulatory activities revenues were recognized by the Company in such amount, which, under NERC revenue calculation methodology, are permissible to take into consideration, by also taking into account permissible return on investment and factual expenses incurred for services provided during the period. Difference between the amount set by NERC and factual revenue and expenses incurred was recognized as the Company's payables or receivables. As at 31 December 2018, the Company recognised amounts payable related to regulated services in the amount of EUR 4,598 thousand within the other non-current payables and liabilities and EUR 2,794 thousand within the non-current advances received.

As of 31 December 2018, the Methodology by-laws did not contain any legal provisions if and how the Company should meet its obligation raised from coverage of amount payable and how the Company should be reimbursed in the event when the same regulated services were no longer provided in the following financial year. When preparing financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, the Company's management applied the principle of conservatism to recognise the difference between planned and actual revenues from 2017 to 2018 and costs and has recognized in its statement of financial position. Based on management's assessment, if the same regulated services cease to be provided in the coming periods, it is likely that legislative changes would be made that would determine a requirement to reimburse such obligation and would determine the principles based on which the Company should meet such obligation.

As previously disclosed in Note 3, on 14 November 2019, the National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) adopted a resolution No O3E-715 'On Approval of the Methodology for Establishing the Prices for Electricity, Capacity Reserve Services and Services Ensuring Isolated Operation of the Power System' (hereinafter 'the Methodology'). This Resolution stipulates that Companies that discontinue capacity reserve services shall reimburse any discrepancies between the projected and actual costs of providing these services to the transmission system operator if the costs actually incurred by the Company were less than the revenues received from the transmission system operator. If the actual costs incurred by the Company were higher than the income of the transmission system operator, the transmission system operator shall reimburse this amount to the Company.

Following the auditor's recommendations, the Company's management has reassessed the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards and the applicable regulatory framework for regulated services in 2019, including the Methodology. Given that there was no provision in the legislation in force prior to the approval of the updated Methodology on how/if the Company should refund or recover any difference between the planned and actual revenues and expenses of the regulated services for past periods, if the services are not provided prior to the entry into force of the Methodology, the Company's management decided that there is no basis to recognise this difference as an asset or a liability under the financial reporting framework and IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. For this reason, adjustments were made to the relevant items for relevant periods prior to the entry into force of the Methodology taking into account the effect of the income tax.

Any differences, for the 12-month period ending in 31 December 2019 and earlier periods, between the forecasted and actual revenue and the expenses related to the services covered by the Methodology were recognized in liabilities and assets. The amounts recognised are disclosed in note 3.

As at 31 December 2018, the Company did not reclassify part of other non-current payables and liabilities and advances received, which by their nature, should have been classified as provisions. Due to this 'Provisions' in non-current liabilities in the statement of financial position were increased by EUR 5,383 thousand, and 'Provisions' in current liabilities were increased by EUR 2,770 thousand, while 'Other non-current payables and liabilities' and 'Advances received' in the statement of financial position were reduced in corresponding amounts.

When correcting prior year amounts, the Company has identified a case, where it incorrectly accounted for deferred tax assets related to the regulatory accrual amounts (as well as incorrectly recognizing related expenses as deductible). Following that, while performing correction of error, the company corrected such amounts as well, which was in itself not related to correction of the regulatory accrual. Due to increased revenue after correction of error, increase in result led to increased company income tax expenses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated

5. Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (foreign exchange risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk and securities price risk).

As from 31 December 2018, there was no change in risk management or risk management policy.

Financial instruments by category

Financial assets	As at 31/12/2019	As at 31/12/2018
Amounts receivable under contracts with customers	15,845	12,037
Other receivables	16,329	2,556

Cash and cash equivalents	58,501	47,885
Other non-current amounts receivable	628	232

Financial assets compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss	-	2,000
In total	141,274	114,660
Financial liabilities	As at 31/12/2019	As at 31/12/2018
---	---	---
Loans received	25,734	38,036
Lease liabilities	5,745	172
Other non-current borrowings	542	633
Trade payables	17,978	13,425
Other amounts payable and liabilities	1,011	1,026
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost	51,010	53,292
In total	51,010	53,292

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, exposure to credit risk arose from the following items:

Financial assets	As at 31/12/2019	As at 31/12/2018
Financial assets	141,274	114,660
In total	141,274	114,660

The Company's exposure to credit risk arising from amounts receivable is limited because the major buyers are reliable customers. As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, trade receivables neither past due nor impaired were of high credit quality. The Company is exposed to significant credit risk concentration, because credit risks are shared among 5 main customers accounting for approximately up to 99% of total trade receivables of the Company. More details about credit risk arising from amounts receivable are provided in Notes 13 and 14.

Exposure to credit risk arising from cash at bank is limited because the Company conducts transactions with the banks with high credit ratings awarded by international credit rating agencies. The Company holds cash balances and term deposits in accounts of the major banks in Lithuania awarded with 'A-' and higher external credit rating by the rating agency Fitch Ratings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed by planning the movement of cash flows of the Company. In order to manage the liquidity risk, cash flow forecasts are prepared. Overdraft and credit line agreements are used to manage the difference between the risks of late collection of receivables and the short-term cash flows (inflows and outflows). Unwithdrawn balances of loans are disclosed in Note 21.

As at 31 December 2019, the Company's current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) and quick ratio (current assets – inventories)/current liabilities) were 4.02 and 3.99, respectively (31 December 2018: 4.18 and 4.06, respectively).

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments. This table has been prepared based on undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. Balances with repayment terms up to 12 months approximate their carrying amounts, because the impact of discounting is insignificant.

	Within the first year	Within the second year	Three to five years	After five years

Borrowings	4,820	4,763	13,948	3,658

Trade and other payables	18,989	99	193	92

Lease liabilities	148	36
Trade and other payables	16,127	101	197	186

Interest rate risk

Revenues and cash flows of the Company are affected by fluctuations in the market interest rates as all borrowings of the Company were subject to variable interest rates as of 31 December 2019. Increase in interest rate risk is mostly affected by non-current borrowings. All borrowings bear variable interest rates which are linked to EURIBOR. Intervals of repricing of interest rates are disclosed in Note 21.

If interest rates on withdrawn balances of borrowings of the Company had been higher/lower by 1 p.p., net profit for the year 2019 would have been EUR 107 thousand (2018: EUR 107 thousand) lower/higher.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company has no significant assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the euro. The Company does not use any financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk.

Securities price risk

Investments in associates in the Company's financial statements are accounted for using the equity method by adjusting their carrying amounts by the Company's share of profit or loss of associates. The increase/decrease in the carrying amount of these investments directly affects the financial performance of the Company. The Company has impact on the results of its associates by taking part in the formation of the management policy of operations of these companies.

Fair value of financial instruments

Trade and other amounts receivable, trade and other debts, non-current and current debts represent the major portion of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities not carried at fair value. The fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss is based on prices in the active market.

The fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset or services could be exchanged or at which a mutual liability could be set off between knowledgeable parties in an arm's length transaction willing to buy/sell an asset or to set off a mutual liability. The fair value is determined on the basis of quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.

The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities:

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, current trade and other accounts receivable, short-term loans granted, current trade and other accounts payable and current borrowings approximates their fair value;
The fair value of non-current borrowings is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar loan or on the current rates available for loan with the same maturity profile. As at 31 December 2019, the Company had non-current borrowings from Luminor and SEB Bank bearing variable interest rates (Note 21). The fair value of a non-current borrowing bearing variable interest rates approximates its carrying amount, provided that the margin on such loan corresponds to the margins currently prevailing in the market.
The fair value of non-current amounts receivable and payable is determined with reference to the current interest rates available for the loans with the same maturity profile. As at 31 December 2019, the discount rate applied to the Company's non-current amounts receivable and payable approximated the market interest rate.

Accumulated amortisation	(614)	-	(124)	(738)
Net book value at 31 December 2019	81	51,805	2	51,888

Acquired emission allowances are recognised at cost, and emission allowances obtained by the Company free of charge are recognised based on market (Stock Exchange) prices at the date of transfer of ownership to the Company. The fair value of emission allowances is determined using the prices quoted in an active market, therefore, it is attributable to Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Following the initial recognition, emission allowances (acquired at an acquisition cost and obtained free of charge) are remeasured at fair value based on the active market prices at the end of each reporting period. On revaluation of emission allowances, any increase in carrying amount, which is in excess of the acquisition cost, is added to the revaluation reserve within equity, whereas any decrease in carrying amount, which is excess of the previously accumulated amount in the reserve, is recognised through the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as current loss. Emission allowances acquired and emission allowances obtained free of charge are accounted for by the Company separately. Upon the realisation of emission allowances, the positive balance in the revaluation reserve is recognised directly within retained earnings.

At 31 December 2018, the independent property valuers APUS TURTAS UAB determined the market value of the Company's assets stated at revalued amount. The measurement was performed using the comparative value and the cost approach. The measurement of the land, buildings and constructions was performed using the comparable transaction approach. The valuers considered the type, purpose, location and physical characteristics of the property to determine the basis for comparable transactions. The cost per square meter is a basic value used for measurement. When determining the market value of land, buildings and structures, the valuers applied weightings which were used to adjust the basis of comparable transactions. Additionally, valuators applied locality weightings (Approved by the Order No 495 of the Director of the State Enterprise Centre of Registers on 27 September 2018 'REGARDING MASS VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE 2018 DATA AND LOCALITY WEIGHTINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH 1 JANUARY 2019 APPROVAL OF ASSET PURPOSE AND LOCATIONS'), physical condition weightings and area weightings.

As at 31 December 2019, the outstanding capital expenditure commitments under the contracts amounted to approximately EUR 1,040 thousand (there were no outstanding capital expenditure commitments under the contracts as at 31 December 2018).

As at 31 December 2019, the Company pledged to the banks property, plant and equipment with the residual value of EUR 21,032 thousand at the reporting date (31 December 2018: EUR 21,978 thousand) (Note 22).

On 27 February 2018, the independent property valuers NILL NILL UAB determined the market value of the assets of Vilnius thermal power plant No 3. At the date of valuation, i.e. 13 February 2018, the market value was EUR 8,062 thousand (incl. both investment property and non-current assets). On 30 March 2018, after the shareholder Ignitis Group UAB paid by contribution of assets for the new issue of 12,919,014 shares by way of in-kind contribution, the above mentioned non-current assets, a part of which under the accounting policies is attributable to investment property, were transferred to the Company. Assets classified as investment property (referred to above), buildings and constructions allocated to it with permanently installed machinery and equipment.

Investment property is attributed to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy.

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	In total
	Quoted prices in active markets	Other directly or indirectly observable inputs	Unobservable inputs
Buildings	-	3,529	-	3,529
Structures and equipment	-	289	-	289
Carrying amount at 31 December 2019	-	3,818	-	3,818

As described above part of property contribution was classified as investment property. The property portfolio consisting of real estate and movable property was subject to valuation. Valuation was carried out by independent property valuer APUS TURTAS UAB. Fair value of the investment property amounted to 3,818 as at 17 April 2019 (valuation date). Based on the judgement of the management, no significant changes in market conditions were observed and the fair value of the investment property as at 31 December 2019 remained similar to the value set by the valuers.

The valuation of movable property was based on cost method, which was chosen on the basis that the property being valued has special purpose and has no analogous comparative transactions. The valuators have chosen the most conservative, transparent and easily verifiable asset valuation method, as in this case the method has the most objectively verifiable data and the price determined by this method is the least doubtful. The cost of restoration of assets has been determined using a calculation model for the creation of the property being valued, since the valuators have all data about total acquisition costs of property being valued. Valuator determined the value of physical depreciation of the property being valued. The calculations are indexed using the consumer annual price index.

Real estate valuation was done by applying a comparative method using information about past transactions. To determine the base of comparable transactions, valuators have taken into consideration the type, purpose, location and physical characteristics of the property. To determine market value of real estate, valuator applied weightings to adjust base of comparable transactions. Locality weightings (Approved by the Order No 495 of the Director of the State Enterprise Centre of Registers on 27 September 2018 'REGARDING MASS VALUATION OF REAL ESTATE 2018 DATA AND LOCALITY WEIGHTINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH 1 JANUARY 2019 APPROVAL OF ASSET PURPOSE AND LOCATIONS'), physical condition weightings and area weightings were applied.

Investment property is attributed to Level 2 of fair value hierarchy:

9. Investment property (continued)

The Company has leases on all investment property consisting of buildings, structures and equipment. The terms of the leases are from 1 to 5 years. Lease income recognised by the Company during 2019 amounts to EUR 384 thousand (in 2018: EUR 421 thousand).

The Company has no restrictions on the disposal of its investment properties by earning rental income and no contractual obligations to construct, develop or repair it. The lease term for every single contract does not constitute the major part of the economic life of the asset, and the present value of the minimum lease payments does not amount to at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, therefore, the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset and accounts for as an operating lease

10. Investments

As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company had no subsidiaries.

Segment reporting

The Company's management analyses the Company's operations by separating them into regulated activities and commercial activities. The regulated activities include the Reserve Power Plant's revenue from heat and electricity production, balancing and regulation, capacity reserve services, including capacity reserve revenue of Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant. The commercial activities include electricity trade in a free market, electricity production at Kaunas Algirdas Brazauskas Hydro Power Plant and Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant, and the related balancing and regulation services. Total revenue of segments is generated from external customers. Administrative expenses are allocated between the regulated activities and the commercial activities based on operating expenses. Articles of the Statement of financial position are not divided by segments.

The primary performance measure is adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated based on data presented in the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adjusted for selected items which are not recognised under IFRS.

Information on the Company's segments for the year ended 31 December 2019 is presented below:

Management's adjustments used in calculating adjusted EBITDA*** are related to compensation for the indemnification of potentially inflicted damage by Alstom Power Ltd in 2005–2009.

** Adjustments made by the management reflect changes in revenue (and, consequently, EBITDA) from the Company's regulated activity if current revenue was recognised at the amount consistent with the allowable income amount, calculated using NERC methodologies, taking into account allowable return on investments and actual service costs incurred during the period. Based on the judgement of the management, adjusted EBITDA is a more accurate reflection of results allowing to better compare the results obtained in different periods, as it reflects the Company's actual results of reporting period, eliminating the effect of mismatches between the costs, forecasted by NERC for current periods (for calculation of prices for regulated services) and actual costs and eliminating the difference between the allowable and actual return on investments for the periods, which may have a positive or negative effect on the results of the current year.

*** Adjusted EBITDA – additional elimination of the management's adjustments from EBITDA is made. EBITDA = Profit (loss) before tax + finance costs – finance income – dividends received + depreciation and amortisation costs + impairment losses + revenues/expenses of revaluation of emission allowances + write-offs of property, plant and equipment.

42. Net debt reconciliation

This note sets out an analysis of net debt and the movements in net debt for each of the periods presented.

Net debt balances as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018:

	2019	2018
Cash and cash equivalents	(58,501)	(47,885)
Cash investments	(50,490)	(49,950)
Borrowings payable within one financial year (including overdraft)	4,417	4,417

Reconciliation of net debt balances and cash flows from financing activities of 2019 and 2018:

	Other assets		Liabilities arising from financing activities
	Cash/overdraft	Cash investments	Current loans	Current portion of non-current loans	Non-current portion of non-current borrowings	In total

The amount of the claim is EUR 392,854. In the Company's view, the claim is unfounded and the penalties are properly imposed under the penalty clause in the contract with the plaintiff. The amount received is recognized as income in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income under 'Other income'.

44. Capital management

Capital consists of the equity capital disclosed in the statement of financial position.

The Company manages the capital structure and make adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the operating risks. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, to repay capital to shareholders or issue new shares. As at 31 December 2019, no changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes of capital management.

On 27 December 2016 the Board of Ignitis Group UAB companies approved a common dividend policy, which sets uniform principles for the payment of dividends for all the group companies. The dividend policy is one of capital risk management tools. Based on this policy, the Company plans the distribution of dividends in view of the ratio of return on equity and net profit earned. According to dividend policy, appropriation of profit for the payment of dividends for the financial year or a period shorter than the financial year will depend on the ratio of return on equity, availability of financial resources for payment of dividends, implementation of economic projects important for the State and other significant circumstances. Between 60% and 85% of net profit is appropriated for the payment of dividends, depending on the ratio of return on equity at the end of the reporting period. A company is not obliged to distribute dividends only when it incurs net loss. A company will not pay any dividends when its financial debts at the end of the reporting period are equal to or exceed four times EBITDA amount for the last twelve months as from the end of the reporting period.

Dividends will not be paid if the Group company's equity (after the payment of dividends) becomes lower than the sum of its share capital, legal reserve, revaluation reserve and reserve for acquisition of own shares, and also if a company becomes insolvent or would become insolvent upon payment of dividends. The Company will also be able not to pay dividends if its ratio of financial debts to equity becomes equal to or exceeds 1.0.

According to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania, equity of the Company must account for at least ½ of the amount of the authorised share capital. There were no other externally imposed capital requirements on the Company. As at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company complied with the aforementioned requirement.
