IV. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUER'S AND ITS GROUP COMPANIES' ACTIVITY

  1. An objective review of the Issuer's and its group companies position, their performance and business development

14.1. Goals, philosophy and management principles

What is Invalda AB?

Invalda AB is one of the major Lithuanian investment companies whose primary objective is to steadily increase the investor equity value. For the purpose of attainment of this objective Invalda actively manages its investments, exercising control or significant influence over target businesses.

Invalda started the activity in 1991. Its equities have been traded on the NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Exchange since 1995.

Currently, major part of Invalda Group assets is concentrated in Poland and Lithuania, and key entities operate in the pharmaceutics, road and bridge construction, furniture manufacturing, real estate, facilities management, and information technology (IT) infrastructure sectors.

In respect of each business Invalda defines its performance objectives, sets up the management team, participates in the development of the business strategy and monitors its implementation. We play an active role in passing decisions on strategic and other important issues that have an effect upon the value of the Group company.

Investment philosophy

We are investors driven by shareholder value creation objectives. We seek to acquire competitive businesses that, with an influx of additional capital or management resources, may successfully further develop organically, consolidate fragmented markets or provide other possibilities to increase value. We also invest into undervalued assets that, when restructured, may facilitate significant value increase. We never avoid any complex business opportunities supported by our belief that our efforts will lead to good results.

We believe that a merge of different competences may potentially appreciate the investment value therefore quite often we execute transactions in cooperation with our partners, among them people with ideas, also major Lithuanian business groups, as well as foreign investment funds.

With a view to maximising the investment potential to its full scale we normally pursue long-term prospects and do not seek to define any clear-cut withdrawal horizons. We focus our efforts to maximise the investment value in the long-term perspective, and offer business for sale only when they are properly prepared and become attractive to potential buyers, or having received any proposal matching the corporate future prospects.


Consolidated annual report of Invalda AB for 2010

Invalda

Management principles

Invalda is proactively managing its investment guided by the following principles:

  • Competitiveness and independence. Each business of the Group must be competitive and self-sufficient, have professional teams and top managers capable of creating business visions and implementing ambitious objectives;
  • Risk segregation. Invalda does not grant guarantees or assume any obligations in respect of individual businesses, and individual businesses do not assume any obligations in respect of each other.
  • Diversification. We diversify our investment in order to avoid any excessive risk concentration in homogeneous business sectors.
  • Transparency. We disclose information in adherence to the requirement that market participants must get equivalent information at the same time, except such cases where the publication of the information is not possible in view of obligations assumed in respect of third parties, and/or the disclosure may adversely affect the Group's or business ability to compete.
  • Avoidance of conflicts of interest. Managers of the Group companies do not participate in the activities' of their competitors.

14.2. Operational environment

A record decline in Lithuanian economy, which was fixed in 2009, changed to a slow growth in 2010. The gross domestic product (GDP) grew 1.3 percent. The similar growth was also fixed in the neighbouring countries - Latvia and Estonia. Poland, where contrary to the most European countries economic recession was not recorded, continued to grow, but now it was slower than in Germany - the biggest economies of the EU members.

Adoption of the euro in Estonia was one of the most important economic events in the Baltic Countries.

Economic growth in the Baltic Countries has been based on the export recovery, while domestic demand remained weak and businesses, oriented to the local market, had to continue reducing costs significantly, lay off workers and find other reserves of activities' efficiency.

In 2010, banks' loan portfolios in the Baltic Countries were thinning, and the new projects have been financed with a great care. The focus has been placed on the administration and the restructuring of the already given loans (and in some cases - on the mortgaged property takeover).

When the funding sources reduced, and views of buyers and sellers on corporate values diverged, transactions market was not very active in Lithuania. Some signs of a recovery were seen only at the end of 2010. In Poland, where the main companies of Invalda Group operate, the situation in the area of mergers was a lot livelier.

In the Russian market sales of dermatological medicines and products for hospitals contributed to the 2010 sales growth.

Real estate sector

In 2010 in a commercial real estate sector of Lithuania a limited number of new modern offices were built. This is due to the decreased bank speculative projects' financing and also the fact that a supply has increased significantly in 2007-2009 and the market needed time to absorb the proposed area. It was calculated that A-class offices' occupancy in Vilnius was 94-95 percent and the B-class - about 90 percent at the end of 2010. Due to the fact that potential buyers were mostly searching for high-yield objects, while prospective sellers were redundant to sell objects if rental cash flow was higher than the amount needed to cover bank loans, there were no significant commercial real estate deals in 2010, as in 2009, in Lithuania.

Whereas, a moderate price decline was fixed in the residential real estate segment. The decline was caused by the tightening of banking financing conditions, reduced residents' income and increased unemployment in 2010.

Invalda Group companies did not enter in any major sales of commercial real estate objects in 2010. The main work has been carried out to ensure a stable rental income. Also the expenses were strictly controlled. It was withdrawn from projects further participation in which became economically unreasonable. Real estate sector achieved the main goal – to generate positive cash flows.

16. Risk management

16.1. A description of the principal risks and uncertainties

Business risks

Activities of Invalda are influenced by overall economic situation of countries of activity.

Invada is also dependent on its main managers – their loss could have a negative effect on activities of the company and some of business opportunities could be lost.

Our returns may be substantially lower than the average returns historically realized by the private equity industry as a whole because historical results do not show the future performance.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results.

We may not realize gains from our equity investments. The equity interests we invest in may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value.

Our ability to use our capital loss carry forwards may be subject to limitations.

Changes in the law or regulations that govern us could have a material impact on our business. Change in taxes and change in regulation of sectors, which are dependent on governmental funding or are regulated by the government, could have negative consequences on our business.

Company's and Group's results may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future performance.

The trading price of our stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of the stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

We are subject to market discount risk. Shares of Invalda can be traded below NAV.

We have not approved dividend payment policy and established a minimum dividend payment level; therefore we cannot assure you of our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in the future.

Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net operating income and our ability to obtain additional financing.

Investment risk


Consolidated annual report of Invalda AB for 2010

Invalda

Our investments in portfolio companies may be illiquid, i.e. there is a risk that we may not exit out investment when it is planned. We may exit our investments when the portfolio company has a liquidity event, such as a sale, recapitalization or listing in the stock exchange.

Our investments in small and middle-market privately-held companies are extremely risky and in the worst case the company could lose its entire investment.

When we are a minority equity investor in a portfolio company, we may not be in a position to control the entity, and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.

3.7. A member of the collegial body should be considered to be independent only if he is free of any business, family or other relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder or the management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment.

The key criteria for identifying whether a member of the collegial body can be considered to be independent are the following:

2) He/she is not an employee of the company or some any company and has not been such during the last three years, except for cases when a member of the collegial body does not belong to the senior management and was elected to the collegial body as a representative of the employees;
3) He/she is not receiving or has been not receiving significant additional remuneration from the company or associated company other than remuneration for the office in the collegial body. Such additional remuneration includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations); No Members of the Board are elected by the General Meeting.

5) He/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated company within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship.

6) He/she is not and has not been, during the last three years, partner or employee of the current or former external audit company of the company or associated company;

3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine.

| --- | --- | --- |
| 3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial body has come to in its determination of whether a particular member of the body should be considered to be independent should be disclosed.

When a particular member of the collegial body does not meet one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code, the company should disclose its reasons for nevertheless considering the member to be independent.

4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except insignificant ones due to their low value or concluded when carrying out routine operations in the company under usual conditions), concluded between the company and its shareholders, members of the supervisory or managing bodies or other natural or legal persons that exert or may exert influence on the company's management should be subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed adopted only provided the majority of the independent members of the collegial body voted for such a decision.

the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish nomination, remuneration, and audit committees. Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to the nomination, remuneration, and audit committees are carried out. However they may decide to merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three different committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise small number of members, the functions assigned to the three committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition requirements advocated for the committees and that adequate information is provided in this respect.

Committees established by the collegial body should normally be composed of at least three members. In companies with small number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally be composed of two members.
