2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 are as follows:

2.1. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, investments to subsidiaries and associates measured at fair value through profit and loss and available-for-sale investments that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania.

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations

The Group has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2016:

  • − Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle effective 1 February 2015;
  • − Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Amendments to IAS 19 Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions effective 1 February 2015;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation Operations effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer plants effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative effective 1 January 2016;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception effective 1 January 2016.

The principal effects of these changes are as follows:

Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The Company choose to use equity method in the stand-alone financial statements. The change of accounting policy have an impact on disclosures and description of accounting policies, and the carrying amount of subsidiaries recognised in the stand-alone statement of financial position of the Company has changed, (Note 2.8).

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Amendments to IAS 19 – Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions

The amendment allows entities to recognise employee contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related employee service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service, if the amount of the employee contributions is independent of the number of years of service. The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle

The improvements consist of changes to seven standards.

  • − IFRS 2 was amended to clarify the definition of a 'vesting condition' and to define separately 'performance condition' and 'service condition'; The amendment is effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.
  • − IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as a financial liability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in IAS 32, and (2) all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss. Amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014.
  • − IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments share similar economic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity's assets when segment assets are reported.
  • − The basis for conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that deletion of certain paragraphs in IAS 39 upon publishing of IFRS 13 was not made with an intention to remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at invoice amount where the impact of discounting is immaterial.
  • − IAS 16 and IAS 38 were amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model.
  • − IAS 24 was amended to include, as a related party, an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity ('the management entity'), and to require to disclose the amounts charged to the reporting entity by the management entity for services provided.

The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

This amendment adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative

The Standard was amended to clarify the concept of materiality and explains that an entity need not provide a specific disclosure required by an IFRS if the information resulting from that disclosure is not material, even if the IFRS contains a list of specific requirements or describes them as minimum requirements. The Standard also provides new guidance on subtotals in financial statements, in particular, such subtotals (a) should be comprised of line items made up of amounts recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS; (b) be presented and labelled in a manner that makes the line items that constitute the subtotal clear and understandable; (c) be consistent from period to period; and (d) not be displayed with more prominence than the subtotals and totals required by IFRS standards. The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

The amendments impact 4 standards.

  • − IFRS 5 was amended to clarify that change in the manner of disposal (reclassification from "held for sale" to "held for distribution" or vice versa) does not constitute a change to a plan of sale or distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such.
  • − The amendment to IFRS 7 adds guidance to help management determine whether the terms of an arrangement to service a financial asset which has been transferred constitute continuing involvement, for the purposes of disclosures required by IFRS 7. The amendment also clarifies that the offsetting disclosures of IFRS 7 are not specifically required for all interim periods, unless required by IAS 34.
  • − The amendment to IAS 19 clarifies that for post-employment benefit obligations, the decisions regarding discount rate, existence of deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, or which government bonds to use as a basis, should be based on the currency that the liabilities are denominated in, and not the country where they arise.
  • − IAS 34 will require a cross reference from the interim financial statements to the location of "information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report".

The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

The Standard was amended to clarify that an investment entity should measure at fair value through profit or loss all of its subsidiaries that are themselves investment entities. In addition, the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements if the entity's ultimate or any intermediate parent produces consolidated financial statements available for public use was amended to clarify that the exemption applies regardless whether the subsidiaries are consolidated or are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 10 in such ultimate or any intermediate parent's financial statements. The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.

The following new standards adopted by the EU are not relevant for the Group and the Company:

− Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer plants

− Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation Operations

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

Key features of the new standard are:

  • − Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).
  • − Classification for debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI condition.
  • − Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.
  • − Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.
  • − IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables.
  • − Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on their financial statements. The Group and the Company have financial assets attributed to the categories of financial assets 'Loans and receivables' and 'Assets at fair value through profit or loss'. Regarding accounting for financial assets, the standard could change classification of loans granted to subsidiaries from measured at amortised cost to measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company have only financial liabilities attributed to the category 'Other financial liabilities'. Therefore, there will be no impact on the Group's and the Company's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss. The changes in hedge accounting will not have impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements as the Group and the Company have no hedge accounting. While the Group and the Company have not undertaken yet a detailed assessment of the affect of the new ECL model on its impairment provisions, it may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses. The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group's and the Company's disclosures of their financial instruments, particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard. The Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 9 before its mandatory date.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements. The Group would have to make judgements regarding separate contracts what is the customer of asset management entities – investor or fund. The Group would have to identify how many distinct performance obligations have asset management entities. It could be that after application of IFRS 15 some currently immediately recognised revenue would be deferred. According to IFRS 15 recognition of performance fee revenue from managed private equity funds or from investment companies would be deferred until end of performance period often. Recognition of management fee revenue would not change from currently practise in mostly cases. Costs to obtain investor would be capitalised as assets and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the services to the customer, if the customer is viewed as investor. The Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 15 before its mandatory date.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Standards not yet adopted by the EU

IFRS 16 Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 once adopted by the EU)

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 IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be 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 income statement. 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 Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the standard on their financial statements. The Group and the Company would have to recognise assets and liabilities for its premises lease contracts. In the income statement depreciation of lease assets and interest on lease liabilities would replace currently recognised lease expenses. The Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 16 before its mandatory date.

Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 once adopted by the EU)

The amended IAS 7 will require disclosure of a reconciliation of movements in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendments would have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance, but the additional disclosures would be added.

Amendments to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 once adopted by the EU)

The amendment has clarified the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments. The entity will have to recognise deferred tax asset for unrealised losses that arise as a result of discounting cash flows of debt instruments at market interest rates, even if it expects to hold the instrument to maturity and no tax will be payable upon collecting the principal amount. The economic benefit embodied in the deferred tax asset arises from the ability of the holder of the debt instrument to achieve future gains (unwinding of the effects of discounting) without paying taxes on those gains. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)

The amendments do not change the underlying principles of the standard but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; how to determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new standard. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)

The amendments mean that non-market performance vesting conditions will impact measurement of cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the same manner as equity-settled awards. The amendments also clarify classification of a transaction with a net settlement feature in which the entity withholds a specified portion of the equity instruments, that would otherwise be issued to the counterparty upon exercise (or vesting), in return for settling the counterparty's tax obligation that is associated with the share-based payment. Such arrangements will be classified as equity-settled in their entirety. Finally, the amendments also clarify accounting for cash-settled share based payments that are modified to become equity-settled, as follows (a) the share-based payment is measured by reference to the modification-date fair value of the equity instruments granted as a result of the modification; (b) the liability is derecognised upon the modification, (c) the equity-settled share-based payment is recognised to the extent that the services have been rendered up to the modification date, and (d) the difference between the carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same date is recorded in profit or loss immediately. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Standards not yet adopted by the EU (cont'd)

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 (changes to IFRS 12) or 2018 (changes to IFRS 1 and IAS 28) once adopted by the EU)

The improvements impact three standards. The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those in paragraphs B10–B16, apply to an entity's interests in other entities that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. IFRS 1 was amended to delete some of the short-term exemptions from IFRSs after those short-term exemptions have served their intended purpose. The amendments to IAS 28 clarify that venture capital organisations or similar entities have an investment-by- investment choice for measuring investees at fair value. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that if an investor that is not an investment entity has an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the investor can choose on an investment-by-investment basis to retain or reverse the fair value measurements used by that investment entity associate or joint venture when applying the equity method. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)

The interpretation applies where an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency-denominated contracts. The interpretation clarifies that the date of transaction, i.e the date when the exchange rate is determined, is the date on which the entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or liability from advance consideration. However, the entity needs to apply judgement in determining whether the prepayment is monetary or non-monetary asset or liability based on guidance in IAS 21, IAS 32 and the Conceptual Framework. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the interpretation on its financial statements.

The following new standards not yet adopted by the EU are not relevant for the Group and the Company:

  • − Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)
  • − Amendments to IFRS 4 Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (effective, depending on the approach, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 for entities that choose to apply temporary exemption option, or when the entity first applies IFRS 9 for entities that choose to apply overlay approach; once adopted by the EU).

The adoption of the following new standards and amendments are postponed by the EU indefinitely:

  • − IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016 once adopted by the EU)
  • − Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined by the IASB once adopted by the EU)

The Group and the Company has not yet analysed impact of them to its financial statements.

2.2. Investment entity and consolidated financial statements

Investment entity

The Company has no subsidiaries other than those determined to be controlled subsidiary investments and those who provide services that are related to the entity's investment activities. Controlled subsidiary investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss and not consolidated, in accordance with IFRS 10. The fair value of controlled subsidiary investments is determined on a consistent basis to all other investments measured at fair value through profit or loss, and as described in the Note 2.12 below. The subsidiaries that provide services that are related to the entity's investment activities are consolidated.

Associates

An associate is an entity, over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Investments that are held as part of the Company's investment portfolio are carried at fair value even though the Company may have significant influence over those companies. This treatment is permitted by IAS 28 'Investments in associates and joint ventures' as exception from applying the equity method.

2.3. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.

Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent and is presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders' equity. The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to noncontrolling interests are also recorded in equity.

2.3 Basis of consolidation (cont'd)

Total comprehensive income (losses) within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

When the group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

2.4. Functional and presentation currency

From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The financial statements are prepared in euro (EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is also the local currency of the Republic of Latvia. Euro is the Company's and the Group's functional and presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania.

As these financial statements are presented in euro thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.

2.5. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day to day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the plant and equipment when the cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met. Replaced parts are written off.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

Vehicles 6 years
Other non-current assets 3–6 years

The asset residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property, plant and equipment.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement within "other income" in the year the asset is derecognised.

2.6. Intangible assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets other than goodwill are assessed to be finite. Intangible assets are amortised using the straightline method over the best estimate of their useful lives.

Funds' management rights

Funds' management rights include investment, pension funds and portfolio of clients acquired during asset management entities acquisition. Funds' management rights acquired in a business combination are capitalised at the fair value at the acquisition date and treated as an intangible asset. Following initial recognition, funds' management rights are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Funds' management rights are amortised during 5 - 20 years.

Software

The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised during 3 years.

Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Group and the Company expect from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.

2.7. Business combinations and goodwill

The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred from 1 January 2010 (until that they were included in the acquisition cost). Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of IAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of annual impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units, or groups of cash generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated:

− represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and − is not larger than an operating segment determined in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit (group of cash generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.

2.8. Investments in subsidiaries, associates (the Company)

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiary, associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Non-current loans granted to subsidiaries are considered as part of investments to subsidiaries. They are measured together with equity part of investments to subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss.

Interest on loans granted at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the income statement within 'other income' based on the effective interest rate.

When the fair value of investments into subsidiaries together with non-current loans granted to subsidiaries is determined, the value is split into legal components, i.e. between debt and equity instruments. The amortised cost of loans granted is attributed to debt instruments. The remaining value is attributed to equity instruments of the subsidiary.

Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In 2016, the Company changed its accounting policy for investments in consolidated subsidiaries from cost method to equity method, as the Company believes that equity method more effectively demonstrates its financial position.

In the table below it is disclosed impact of change of accounting policy:

Carrying value
at cost method
Carrying value at
equity method
Impact on
equity
Impact on net
profit for the year
As at 31 December 2014 5,788 5,731 (57) -
As at 31 December 2015 6,954 6,604 (350) (293)
As at 31 December 2016 8,516 7,513 (1,003) (653)

The result of the change in accounting policy of EUR 57 thousand was recorded within retained earnings on 31 December 2014.

Under the equity method, the investment in the subsidiary is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company's share of net assets of the subsidiary. Goodwill relating to a subsidiary is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The statement of comprehensive income reflects the share of the results of operations of the subsidiary. Where there has been a change recognised in the other comprehensive income of the subsidiary, the Company recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the other comprehensive income. Company's share in the changes in the net assets of the subsidiary that are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income (OCI) of the subsidiary, are recognised in equity. Unrealised gains and losses (unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of asset transferred) resulting from transactions between the Company and the subsidiary are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the subsidiary.

The reporting dates of the subsidiary and the Company are identical and the subsidiary's accounting policies conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss of the Company's investment in its subsidiaries. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in subsidiary is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as being the difference between the recoverable amount of the subsidiary and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the statement of comprehensive income. When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the subsidiary.

2.9. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held-for-sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

In the consolidated income statement of the reporting period, and of the comparable period of the previous year, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separately from income and expenses from continuing activities as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement, even when the Group retains a noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary after the sale, e.g. subsidiary becomes an associate.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

When preparing the consolidated statement of income, all inter-company transactions between discontinued and continuing operations that the Group intends to conduct after the discontinuance, are presented in continuing operation without elimination, i.e. they are presented as if they were conducted with third parties. In this case the elimination entry is recorded in discontinued operations. All inter-company transactions between discontinued and continuing operations that the Group does not intend to conduct after the discontinuance, are eliminated from continuing operation.

2.10. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group and the Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group and the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the income statement within "impairment, write-down and provisions".

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group and the Company makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in relation to goodwill are not reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount.

The following criteria are also applied in assessing impairment of specific assets:

Goodwill

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cash generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) is less than the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which goodwill has been allocated, an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December.

2.11. Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments (no such are held), available-for-sale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired The Group and the Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group and the Company considers whether a contract contains an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it. The embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract which is not measured at fair value through profit or loss when the analysis shows that the economic characteristics and risks of embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the host contract.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The Group and the Company classifies its investments in debt and equity securities, and derivatives, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.

  • (i) Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives, including separable embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments or financial guarantee contracts.
  • (ii) Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception are financial instruments that are not classified as held for trading but are managed, and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with the Group's documented investment strategy. The Group's and the Company's policy requires the Management Board to evaluate the information about these financial assets on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.

Gains or losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit and loss within "Net change in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss". Interest on debt securities at fair value through profit or loss is recognized within other income based on the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognised in the income statement as other income when the right of payment has been established. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate and transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through amortisation process. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The group's loans and receivables comprise 'loans granted', 'trade and other receivables', 'deposits', 'restricted cash' and 'cash and cash equivalents' in the statement of financial position (see Notes 14, 15, 16, 17).

Available-for-sale financial instruments

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of other categories. After initial measurement, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses being recognised as other comprehensive income in the fair value reserve. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in equity is recognised in the income statement. Interest earned on the investments is reported as interest income or expense using the effective interest rate. Dividends earned on investments are recognised in the income statement as other income when the right of payment has been established. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Unquoted ordinary shares, which fair value cannot be measured reliably, are measured at cost.

2.11 Financial assets (cont'd)

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.12. Fair value estimation

The fair value of investments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading, which is the date closest to the reporting date. The fair value of investments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques. Such valuation techniques may include the most recent transactions in the market, the market price for similar transactions, discounted cash flow analysis or any other valuation models.

2.13. Impairment of financial assets

Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group and the Company assesses at each reporting date whether is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The criteria that the group uses to determine that there is objective evidence of an impairment loss include:

  • − Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
  • − A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
  • − The group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
  • − It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
  • − The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
  • − Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:
  • (i) Adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio; and
  • (ii) National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.

The Group and the Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss within "impairment, write-down, allowances and provisions".

The Group and the Company assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets. When financial asset is assessed as uncollectible and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group and the Company the impaired asset is derecognised. The objective evidence for that is insolvency proceedings against the debtor is initiated and the debtor has not enough assets to pay to creditors, the debtor could not be found.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss within "impairment, write-down, allowances and provisions", to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.

In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group and the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.

2.13 Impairment of financial assets (cont'd)

Available-for-sale financial investments

The Group and the Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the group uses the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortised cost. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-forsale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed.

2.14. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.15. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank account as well as deposit in bank with an original maturity of three months or less.

The cash or short-term deposits, which use is restricted, are presented in caption 'restricted cash' in the statement of financial position (see Note 17).

2.16. Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, other financial liabilities, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group and the Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of other financial liabilities, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

All financial liabilities of the Company and the Group are classified as other financial liabilities. The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

2.17. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

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

→ the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • → the Group and the Company retain the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but have assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass through" arrangement; or
  • → the Group or the Company have transferred their rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) have 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 have transferred control of the asset.

Where the Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Group's and the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Group and the Company's also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group and the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or 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 a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

2.18. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:

  • a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
  • b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension was initially included in the lease term;
  • c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfilment is dependent on a specified asset; or
  • d) There is a substantial change to the asset.

Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a), c) or d) and at the date of renewal or extension period for scenario b).

Operating lease

Group as a lessee

Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The profit is then deferred and it is amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.

2.19. Revenue recognition

The Group and the Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities as described below. The Group and the Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Revenue from the asset management and brokerage services

Revenue from the asset management services is recognized in the income statement as a percentage from asset under management in the period it is attributable.

Success fees are recognised when received. Revenue from brokerage services is recognized when actual service is provided.

Disposal of investments

Gain (loss) from sale of investment is recognised when the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the investment have passed to the buyer and are recognised within operating activity, as the parent company treats the securities trading as its main activity.

Interest income

Income is recognised as interest accrues (using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset).

Dividends income

Income is recognised when the Group's and the Company's right to receive the payment is established.

2.20. Cash and non-cash distribution to equity holders of the parent

The Company recognises a liability to make cash or non-cash distributions to equity holders of the parent when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company. In Lithuania a distribution is authorised when it is approved by the shareholders. A corresponding amount is recognised directly in equity. The liability for non-cash distributions is measured at the fair value of the assets to be distributed with subsequent fair value re-measurement recognised directly in equity as adjustment to the amount of the distribution.

Upon distribution of non-cash assets, any difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the carrying amount of the assets distributed is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

2.21. Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

The standard income tax rate in Lithuania and in Latvia was 15 % in 2016 and in 2015. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred within Lithuania at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.

Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • − Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
  • − In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

By Lithuanian Income Tax Law shall be not taxed sale of shares of an entity, registered or otherwise organised in a state of the European Economic Area or in a state with which a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation has been concluded and brought into effect and which is a payer of corporate income tax or an equivalent tax, to another entity or a natural person where the entity transferring the shares held more than 25% of voting shares in that entity for an uninterrupted period of at least two years. If mentioned condition is met or will be met by judgement of the management of the Company, there are not recognised any deferred tax liabilities or assets in respect of temporary differences associated with this investments. In Latvia gains from the sale of shares are not taxed, and losses are not deductible.

Deferred income tax asset has been recognised in the statement of financial position to the extent the management believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred income tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.

Deferred tax asset are not recognised:

  • − Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
  • − In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

2.21 Impairment of financial assets (cont'd)

In Lithuania and in Latvia tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. In Lithuania such carrying forward is disrupted if the Company changes its activities due to which these losses incurred except when the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself. In Latvia such carrying forward is disrupted if a change in the control of entity has taken place, unless entity maintains its previous type of ordinary activity for the subsequent five years. In Lithuania the losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. From 1 January 2014 current year taxable profit could be decreased by previous year tax losses only up to 70% in Lithuania.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.22. Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a 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. Where the Group and the Company expect some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination (applicable as of 1 January 2010)

A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of:

  • − the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the general guidance for provisions above (IAS 37) or
  • − the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with the guidance for revenue recognition (IAS 18).

2.23. Segments

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

2.24. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the retained earnings. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.

2.25. Employee benefits

Social security contributions

The Company and the Group pay 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 plan is a plan under which the Group 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 whenever an employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group 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 reporting date are discounted to their present value.

Bonus plans

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

Pension obligations

If there is an individual arrangement with an employee the Company and the Group may make payments into defined contribution pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

2.26. Share - based payments

The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an employee benefits expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:

  • − including any market performance conditions;
  • − excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
  • − excluding the impact of any non-vesting conditions (for example, the requirement for employees to save).

Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

When the options are exercised, the company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

The grant by the company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

Share - based payments – modification and cancellation

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, at a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification.

If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

If an equity award is cancelled by forfeiture, when the vesting conditions (other than market conditions) have not been met, any expense not yet recognised for that award, as at the date of forfeiture, is treated as if it had never been recognised. At the same time, any expense previously recognised on such cancelled equity awards are reversed from the accounts effective as at the date of forfeiture.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

2.27. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed 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.

2.28. Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group's position as at the end of the reporting period (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.29. Comparative figures

Due to change of accounting policy of investments into consolidates subsidiaries (Note 2.8), the Company's income statement for the year ended 31 December 2015 and the Company's statements of financial position as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 were recalculated and presented in these financial statements.

2.30. Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has made the following judgement, which has most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements:

Investment entity

According to the management, the Company meets all the defining criteria of an investment entity from the split-off in 2014 and henceforth investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The management periodically reviews whether the Company meets all the defining criteria of an investment entity. In addition, the management assesses the Company's operation objective, investment strategy, origin of income and fair value models.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss on initial recognition

The shares of Special Closed-ended Type Private Capital Investment Company INVL Technology (hereinafter – INVL Technology), INVL Baltic Real Estate (in 2015), AB Šiaulių bankas (acquired in 2015) and the financial assets acquired during asset management entities acquisition were designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition because the Management believes that this presentation represents best the way these investments are managed and their performance is evaluated and provides more relevant information to the users of financial statements.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.

Fair value of investments in subsidiaries and associates in financial statements

The fair values of investments in subsidiaries and associates are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily earnings multiples, discounted cash flows and recent comparable transactions. The models used to determine fair values are periodically reviewed and compared against historical results to ensure their reliability. Details of the inputs and valuation models used to determine Level 3 fair value, is provided in Note 12.

The fair value of the investments in subsidiaries and associates of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2016 was EUR 5,449 thousand and EUR 23,554 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2015 - EUR 5,765 thousand and EUR 14,897 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 12).

2.30 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont'd)

Estimates and assumptions (cont'd)

Impairment of loans granted and trade receivables

The impairment loss of trade receivables and loans granted was determined based on the management's estimates on recoverability and timing relating to the amounts that will not be collectable according to the original terms of receivables and loans. These accounting estimates require significant judgement. Judgement is exercised based on net assets value of subsidiaries, significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter into bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans granted and trade receivables has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The expected cash flows exclude future credit losses that have not been incurred and are discounted at the original effective interest rate (that is, the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). Carrying amounts of loans and receivables are disclosed in Notes 14 and 15.

Impairment of goodwill

The group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.10. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (Note 10).

Useful lives of funds' management rights

The useful lives of funds' management rights acquired through business combinations are disclosed in Note 2.6 and amortisation charge for the year is disclosed in Note 10. The useful lives are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed on an annual basis for appropriateness. The lives are based on historical experiences with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life. If the estimated useful lives of funds' management rights have been one year shorter, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2016 would have increased by EUR 24 thousand (2015: EUR 25 thousand).

Deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carry-forwards to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised based upon the likely timing and amount of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Deferred income tax asset is recognized on individual company basis taking into account future performance plans of those companies. No deferred tax asset is recognized from tax losses carry forward of EUR 4,024 thousand as 31 December 2016 (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 2,972 thousand) due to future uncertainties related with the performance of those companies. As at 31 December 2016 the Company has not recognised deferred tax asset from EUR 6,275 thousand tax losses arising from disposal of securities, as they mature in 2017-2020 (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 11,589 thousand, as they mature in 2016 and 2019). As at 31 December 2016 in the total deferred tax asset balance of the Group the amount of EUR 1,105 thousand (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 339 thousand) relates to deferred income tax asset recognized from the taxable losses of the Company and EUR 1,012 thousand (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 1,012 thousand) was recognized from the taxable losses of other Group's entities (Note 6). As at 31 December 2016 recognition of deferred income tax asset from the taxable losses of acquired asset management entities are supported on the estimation of these entities' profitability, which is based on the forecasted growth of managed funds and clients portfolio, on management fees, on future funds return and number of clients (Note 10). If the profitability estimation would be change by 5%, deferred income tax asset would be recognised by EUR 51 thousand more/less (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 51 thousand).

Other areas involving estimates include useful lives of property, plant and equipment and allowances for accounts receivable. According to the management, these estimates do not have significant risk of causing a material adjustment.

4. Segment information

The Board of Directors monitors the operating results of the business units of the Group separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocations and performance assessment. After becoming investment entity the performance of segments excluding asset management segment is evaluated based on changes in fair value of investments, including dividends income received by the Company. Asset management segment's performance is evaluated based on net profit or loss. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are allocated between segments as they are identified on basis of separate legal entities. Consolidation adjustments and eliminations are not allocated on a segment basis. Segment assets are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. All assets are allocated between segments, because segments are identified on a basis of separate legal entities. The granted loans by the Company are allocated to segment's, to which entities they are granted, assets. The impairment losses of these loans are allocated to a segment to which the loan was granted initially.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into following operating segments based on their products and services:

Asset management

The asset management segment includes pension, investment funds, private equity, alternative investments and portfolio management, financial brokerage and land administration services.

Agriculture

Agricultural activities include the primary crop and livestock (milk) production, grain processing and agricultural services. The segment's companies sell plant protection products, fertilizers, seeds, compound feed, feed supplements, veterinary products, buy grain, provide grain and other raw materials drying, cleaning, handling and storage services.

Facility management

The facility management segment includes facility management of dwelling-houses, commercial and public real estate properties.

12. Fair value estimation

Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value

The Group's and the Company's principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position are cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, loans granted, borrowings, trade and other payables and investments available-for-sale.

The fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.

The carrying amount of loans granted and borrowings by the Company and Group as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed and adjusted when market rates change. Their fair value of loans granted is based on cash flows discounted using 4.5 % and 4.5 % interest rate as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, respectively. Their fair value of borrowings is based on cash flows discounted using 3 % interest rate as at 31 December 2016. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

Financial instruments carried at fair value

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

As the split-off completed in 2014 the Company is investment entity in accordance with IFRS 10. Subsidiaries and associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group and Company is the measurement date exchange closing price.

The valuation of Level 3 instruments are performed by the Company's employees, analysts, every quarter. The value are estimated as at the last day of quarter. The management of the Company review the valuations prepared by analysts.

In 2015 investment into shares of UAB Litagra (agriculture segment) was measured using EBITDA multiplier method with deduction of net debt for the pieces of feed producers and agricultural productions and using Price to book value (P/BV) multiplier method for trading piece. It was used EBITDA for last three trailing 12 months periods ended at the end of reporting period with bigger weight for last 12 months period figures. As at 31 December 2016 it was changed valuation method for trading piece. It was used EBITDA multiplier method with adding of differences between current asset and total liabilities of trading pieces. The Buyer of trading pieces has used this method in estimating the price for the signed deal in 2017 (Note 26).

Investment in facility management entities was measured using trailing twelve months EBITDA and applying a multiplier of comparable entity City Service SE, operating in Lithuania and listed on the on the Warsaw Exchange. It was decided not to use other foreign companies' multipliers, which were higher than the one used in the calculations due to the fact that facility management is local business dependent on varying Lithuanian legal and business environment. Other facility management entities operating in Lithuania are not public companies.

UAB Kelio Ženklai was measured according to fair value of its assets and liabilities. The main assets - buildings - of UAB Kelio Ženklai was valued using sales comparison method. On the assessment the value of UAB Kelio Ženklai reflects its liquidation value.

Dormant entities are measured according to its equity, because they have only cash and current liabilities.

During 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

The available-for-sale financial assets owned by the Group are measured at cost in accordance with IAS 39 because their fair value cannot be measured reliably, as they have no quoted market prices in an active market.

No liquid market for these securities exists, only small deals are noticed in recent years. The Company intends to dispose of these shares in case majority stake of the company is sold to another investor or if current shareholders will offer attractive price.

The fair value of bonds that are not traded in an active market is determined by using observable market data (taking for basis listed bonds of comparable issuers with similar remaining maturity, cash flow pattern, currency, credit risk and interest basis).

The credit quality of debt securities can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the issuer:

On 24 November 2011, the Bank of Lithuania announced AB Bankas Snoras as insolvent and revoked the licence. According to the public information about AB Bankas Snoras, most likely is that bank's assets were significantly below the liabilities already on 30 September 2011. Therefore the management of the Company decided to recognise allowance for impairment of deposit's certificate in full amount. After decision of the Supreme Court of Lithuania in 2015 the Company and the Group have received insurance payment of EUR 54 thousand for deposit's certificate. Therefore, the nominal value of the certificate and allowance for impairment was decreased by EUR 54 thousand.

23. Financial risk management

23.1. Financial risk factors

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks (credit, market and liquidity), operational risks and legal risks. On an overall Group level strategical risk management is executed by the Board of Directors. Operational risk management is carried out at each entity level by directors. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures to minimise operational and legal risks.

The Group's and the Company's principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise finance for the Group's and the Company's operations. The Group and the Company have various financial assets such as trade and other receivables, loans granted, investments in equity and debt securities, deposits held in banks and cash which arise directly from its operations. The Group and Company has not used any of derivative instruments so far, as management considered that there is no necessity for them.

The Group is being managed the way so its main businesses would be separated from each other. This is to diversify the operational risk and create conditions for selling any business avoiding any risk to the Company and the Group.

The Company's policy is to not provide any guarantee or surety for the Group's companies. The Group's companies do not provide any guarantees one against another usually.

The main risks arising from the financial instruments are market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The risks are identified and disclosed below.

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables, loans granted and debt securities.

The Group estimates the credit risk separately by the segments.

At the date of financial statements there are no indications of worsening credit quality of trade and other receivables, which are neither due, nor impaired, due to constant control by the Group of receivable balances. The maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in Notes 14 and 15. The maximum exposure to credit risk for loans granted classified as 'investments to subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss' are their carrying amounts (EUR 745 thousand as at 31 December 2016 and EUR 1,048 thousand as at 31 December 2015). There are no significant transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania and Latvia.

With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets of the Group and the Company, which comprise deposits at banks and cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and debt securities, the Group's and the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in Notes 13 and 16.

23 Financial risk management (cont'd)

23.1 Financial risk factors (cont'd)

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's and the Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the debt obligations with floating interest rates and to the owned bonds.

The Group has not any borrowing as at 31 December 2016 and 2015. The Company has borrowing from its subsidiaries with fixed interest rates for one year as at 31 December 2016. The Company has not any borrowing as at 31 December 2015. The Company and the Group has loans granted to its subsidiaries with fixed interest rates for one year. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk from loans granted.

In 2015 and 2016 bonds at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk, but it was insignificant.

Price risk

The Group and the Company are exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and the Company and classified on the statement of financial position either as available-for-sale or at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company are not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage their price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group and the Company diversify their portfolio.

The Group's and the Company's investments in equity of other entities that are publicly traded are included in the equity index: OMX Baltic Benchmark Gross Index (OMXBBGI).

The table below summarises the impact of increases/decreases of the equity index on the Group's and the Company's profit before tax for the year. The analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased/ decreased by 20 % with all other variables held constant and all the Group's and Company's equity instruments moved according to the historical correlation with the index:

Index Group Company
2016 2015 2016 2015
OMXBBGI 1,971 982 1,962 982

Profit before tax for the year would increase/decrease as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified at fair value through profit or loss.

Foreign exchange risk

As a result of operations the statement of financial position of the Group can be affected by movements in the reporting currencies' exchange rates. The Group's and the Company's policy is related to matching of money inflows from the most probable potential sales with purchases by each foreign currency. The Group and the Company do not apply any financial instruments allowing to hedge foreign currency risks, because these risks are considered insignificant.

The foreign currency risk at the Group and the Company is not large, taking into consideration that most monetary assets and obligations are denominated in euro. As at 31 December 2015 and 2016 the Group and Company has insignificant assets denominated in foreign currency.

23 Financial risk management (cont'd)

23.1 Financial risk factors (cont'd)

Liquidity risk

The Group's and the Company's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet their commitments at a given date in accordance with strategic plans. The liquidity risk of the Group and the Company is controlled on a level of subsidiaries. The Group's and the Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of borrowings. The liquidity risk management is divided into long-term and short-term risk management.

The aim of the short-term liquidity management is to meet daily needs for funds. Each operating segment is independently planning its internal cash flows. Short-term liquidity for the Group and the Company is controlled through monthly monitoring of the liquidity status and needs of funds according to the Group's operating segments.

Long-term liquidity risk is managed by analysing the predicted future cash flows taking into account the possible financing sources. Before approving the new investment projects the Group and the Company evaluate the possibilities to attract needed funds. The general rule is applied in the Group to finance the Group companies or to take loans from them through the parent company in order to minimise the presence of direct borrowings between the companies of different operating segments.

A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY

Dear Shareholders, Partners and Employees,

Thank you for investing in the shares of Invalda INVL and for believing in what we do. Also, I would like to thank all of you for your ideas and meaningful contribution to our business activities.

The year 2016 was successful for the Invalda INVL Group, its shareholders and clients. The year was good for the majority of those who have entrusted their assets to the Invalda INVL Group; in total, we earned over EUR 35 million for our clients. The main asset management business continued to grow and expand and the assets managed by us exceeded EUR 500 million at the end of the year. We introduced new products in the market and made significant input to the preparation for the launch of new products. The value of equity investments by Invalda INVL was growing, and we believe that we have created a sound basis for further value growth during 2016. This allowed increasing the value of net assets of Invalda INVL by almost 10 per cent and earning a profit of EUR 4.8 million.

Investment environment

In 2016, INVL Asset Management, a company of the Group, compiled the Lithuanian Investment Index for the first time. During the 2006–2015 period, the average return on investments, including deposits, government bonds, corporate shares and real estate, in Lithuania stood at 4.7 per cent, and during the 1996–2015, this indicator equalled 10.6 per cent.

In 2016, the return on the Lithuanian Investment Index was 6.7 per cent. Investments in domestic stocks stood out with a gain of 14.9 per cent. Meanwhile, the return on rental housing was 9.7 per cent, while long-term bonds returned 2 per cent and exceeded the inflation rate of 0.7 per cent. The return on deposits was nil.

As share prices had been rising, competition over private equity transactions concluded in the region and alternative assets was growing as well, and valuations were increasing. We still believe that high prices of some shares and businesses in Lithuania and other Baltic countries have remained attractive, allowing for successful investments and profits.

Asset management

Invalda INVL seeks to be the leading asset management investment group in Lithuania and one of the leaders in the region. We consider the year 2016 to be successful because we generated benefit and were the most rational choice for the majority of our clients. The fact that we generate value for the individuals and institutions which have chosen us is the main reason that allowed us to grow and become even stronger in 2016.

In 2016, the assets managed grew by 55 per cent to EUR 508.7 million and the number of clients increased from 166,700 to 178,400. The growth in the assets managed was mainly caused by the increase in second pillar pension funds' assets and the alternative assets, namely, the closed-end investment companies INVL Technology and INVL Baltic Real Estate, taken over for management.

In the asset management segment, we earned income totalling EUR 5.1 million and incurred losses amounting to EUR 0.6 million as a result of investments in business development and expenses involved in attracting new clients.

Other investments

Invalda INVL also has investments in the managed products and other equity investments as well. The increase in their value accounted for a major share in the profits earned by the Invalda INVL Group.

Priority will be further given to the qualitative and quantitative growth of the asset management business and generation of long-term value rather than to short-term financial goals. We work to make sure that the year 2017 and subsequent years would be successful to our clients, employees and shareholders.

Darius Šulnis President of Invalda INVL

Vilnius stock exchange index during the year increased by 14.92%, the Riga stock exchange index - 23.46%, recently pre-crisis level excessed Tallinn stock exchange index - 19.63%. In comparison, the European stock index Stoxx Europe 600 ended the year almost 2% below where it left the year 2015. US market shares had an annual increase of about 10%. Financial market experts point out that the last year was successful for Baltic exchanges, companies increased their transparency and openness, but the activity of investors, especially institutional, shrunk.

Lithuania's economy recovered to its pre-crisis level in 2012 and has continued growing at a moderate pace. In 2016, GDP increased by 2.2%. Domestic consumption has been the main economic driver in recent years and will continue to support growth over the medium term. The unemployment level (7.9% in 2016) has come down amid rising employment and a shrinking population, which has set the stage for wage growth and increased residents' purchasing power. The average wage before taxes in 2016 rose 7.9% to EUR 771. Low inflation made it possible to increase not just nominal but also real income.

An embargo introduced in 2015 and economic decline in Russia has hurt business, though Lithuanian companies have rather successfully found alternative markets in EU countries. While exports slightly shrank in 2016 (by 1.3%), that can be explained by lower prices for oil products and fertilizers.

Lithuania's GDP is forecast to accelerate in 2017 (the European Commission's growth forecast is 2.9%, Swedbank's is 2.8%, and SEB's is 2.5%). Inflation approaching 2% should slow growth of disposable income, so private consumption will grow more slowly. On the other hand, with intensification in the distribution of EU funds this year, both private and public sector investments are expected to recover. Economic growth should also get a boost from exports of goods and services, through uncertainty remains with regards to Great Britain's withdrawal from the EU and other challenges related to changes in the EU. The stable condition of public finances remains one of the country's advantages, with the budget deficit under control (the forecast for 2017 is a deficit of up to 1% of GDP) and an acceptable level of government debt (about 40% of GDP).

7.2. Activity plans and forecasts

The priority of the Invalda INVL Group is to ensure successful management of assets entrusted to us by clients. In 2017, we will further expand our range of investment solutions and products in order to achieve that the products managed by the Group are among the best choices on the market in their categories.

One of the main objectives is the establishment of a private equity fund investing in the Baltics. This would enable to further pursue the activity which has been developed since 1991 by making investments in regional companies, growing them, developing and generating value for all stakeholders, thus contributing to the growth of the Baltic countries.

As the assets managed by us exceeded EUR 500 million in 2016, our future plans are to grow and invest in the organic development of the asset management business and, upon emergence of new opportunities, we plan to implement new acquisitions in this business.

Priority will be further given to the qualitative and quantitative growth of the asset management business and generation of long-term value rather than to short-term financial goals.

The change in the value of equity investments has a significant impact on the operating result of Invalda INVL. Based on the precondition that the global and Lithuanian political and business environment will not undergo any significant changes, we have a serious ground to believe that the year 2017 will be successful for both the historical investments of the Group and investments in the products managed by the Invalda INVL Group.

We seek to achieve that Invalda INVL is the leading specialised asset management and investment group in Lithuania and one of the leaders in the region. We work to make sure that the year 2017 and subsequent years would be successful for our clients, employees and shareholders.

Business risks

The main activity of Invalda INVL – asset management business. Significant part of companies' assets consists of II pillar assets in Lithuania and Latvia, wherefore the change in legal acts in the pension system could have a negative effect in this business area.

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. 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 INVL, AB 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.

Credit risk - a risk that purchases of products and services of group companies will not fulfil their obligations and this would make negative effect on profit. Failure to fulfil major part of liabilities in time would affect the usual activity of Issuer. would result into research of additional sources of financial support, which may not always be possible.

Currency risk - the major part of companies of Invalda INVL, AB experience a risk in selling goods and purchasing services that due to negative foreign currency exchange rate they may suffer a loss or not to receive planned profit.

Investment risk

Our investments may be illiquid; 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, recapitalisation 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.
