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 2018 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 and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investments to subsidiaries and associates measured at fair value through profit or loss. 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 2018:

  • − IFRS 9 Financial Instruments effective 1 January 2018;
  • − IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle effective 1 January 2018 (changes to IFRS 1 and IAS 28);
  • − IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration effective 1 January 2018;
  • − Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property effective 1 January 2018;
  • − 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).

The principal effects of these changes are as follows:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

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.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (cont'd)

The adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies as disclosed in Notes 2.11; 2.13; 2.14; 2.16 however as disclosed in notes 14, 16 and 17 there was no significant impact on recognition, measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments and impairment of financial assets. In Note 3 it is disclosed impact of classification of financial assets and financial liabilities to the Group's and the Company's financial statements.

The Group/the Company had applied the new rules retrospectively from 1 January 2018, with the practical expedients permitted under the standard. Comparatives for 2017 were not restated.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Amendments to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

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 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.

New accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2.19. In Note 3 it is disclosed the adjustments made to the Group's and the Company's financial statements individual line items due to impact of adoption of the standard. Additional disclosures are presented in Notes 5; 11 and 23.

The Group/the Company had applied the new rules retrospectively from 1 January 2018, with the practical expedients permitted under the standard. Comparatives for 2017 were not restated.

Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments

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 sharebased 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 amendments had no impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle (changes to IFRS 1 and IAS 28)

The improvements impact two standards effective from 1 January 2018. 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 amendments had no impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

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 interpretation had no impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

All other amendments adopted as of 1 January 2018 had no impact on the Group's/Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective

IFRS 16 Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

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 (Note 26). The Group and the Company would be recognized right of use assets and lease liability of EUR 1,478 thousand and EUR 121 thousand, respectively. In the income statement depreciation of lease assets and interest on lease liabilities would replace currently recognised lease expenses. The maturity of lease agreements is until 2025.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

IAS 12 specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. The interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. An entity should determine whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or together with one or more other uncertain tax treatments based on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. An entity should assume that a taxation authority will examine amounts it has a right to examine and have full knowledge of all related information when making those examinations. If an entity concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the effect of uncertainty will be reflected in determining the related taxable profit or loss, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates, by using either the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. An entity will reflect the effect of a change in facts and circumstances or of new information that affects the judgments or estimates required by the interpretation as a change in accounting estimate. Examples of changes in facts and circumstances or new information that can result in the reassessment of a judgment or estimate include, but are not limited to, examinations or actions by a taxation authority, changes in rules established by a taxation authority or the expiry of a taxation authority's right to examine or re-examine a tax treatment. The absence of agreement or disagreement by a taxation authority with a tax treatment, in isolation, is unlikely to constitute a change in facts and circumstances or new information that affects the judgments and estimates required by the Interpretation. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the interpretation on its financial statements, but are not expecting that impact would be material.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

The narrow scope amendments impact four standards. IFRS 3 was clarified that an acquirer should remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business. Conversely, IFRS 11 now explicitly explains that the investor should not remeasure its previously held interest when it obtains joint control of a joint operation, similarly to the existing requirements when an associate becomes a joint venture and vice versa. The amended IAS 12 explains that an entity recognises all income tax consequences of dividends where it has recognised the transactions or events that generated the related distributable profits, eg in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. It is now clear that this requirement applies in all circumstances as long as payments on financial instruments classified as equity are distributions of profits, and not only in cases when the tax consequences are a result of different tax rates for distributed and undistributed profits. The revised IAS 23 now includes explicit guidance that the borrowings obtained specifically for funding a specified asset are excluded from the pool of general borrowings costs eligible for capitalisation only until the specific asset is substantially complete. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements, but are not expecting that impact would be material.

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

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

Amendments to IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).

The amendments clarify that reporting entities should apply IFRS 9 to long-term loans, preference shares and similar instruments that form part of a net investment in an equity method investee before they can reduce such carrying value by a share of loss of the investee that exceeds the amount of investor's interest in the investee. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements, but are not expecting that impact would be material.

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

  • − Amendments to IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019).
  • − Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

Standards not yet adopted by the EU

Amendments to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 once adopted by the EU).

The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement; guidance on reporting financial performance; improved definitions and guidance - in particular the definition of a liability; and clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combination: Definition of a business (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 once adopted by the EU).

The amendments revise definition of a business. A business must have inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The new guidance provides a framework to evaluate when an input and a substantive process are present, including for early stage companies that have not generated outputs. An organised workforce should be present as a condition for classification as a business if are no outputs. The definition of the term 'outputs' is narrowed to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. It is also no longer necessary to assess whether market participants are capable of replacing missing elements or integrating the acquired activities and assets. An entity can apply a 'concentration test'. The assets acquired would not represent a business if substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (or a group of similar assets). The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of materiality (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 once adopted by the EU).

The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

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

− IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 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 multiple unrelated investors and holds multiple investments. Ownership interests in the Company are in the form of equity securities issued by the Company – ordinary registered shares. In the management's opinion, the Company meets the definition of an investment entity as the following conditions exist:

(i) The Company obtains funds from investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services.

(ii) The Company commits to investors that its business purpose in to invest funds solely for capital appreciation, investment income, or both. And

(iii) The management measures and evaluates its investments and makes investment decisions on a fair value as a key criterion.

Subsidiaries

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 that provide services that are related to the entity's investment activities. 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 and that provide services that are related to the entity's investment activities. 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 non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

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 straight-line 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 3-5 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. 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 IFRS 9 (till 31 December 2017 - 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 IFRS 9 (till 31 December 2017 - 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 subsidiaries, associates are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Non-current loans granted to unconsolidated 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. 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 are recognised in the income statement.

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

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (either through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss) or financial assets measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income. The Group and the Company reclassifies debt instruments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Financial assets are recognised when the Group and the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

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.

At initial recognition, the Group/the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

2.11 Financial assets (cont'd)

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018 (cont'd)

Debt instruments

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and presented as "other income" in the income statement. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. The Group's and the Company's financial assets at amortised cost comprised trade and other receivables, bonds, cash and cash equivalents.

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in separate line item. Interest income from these financial assets is included in "other income" using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in "other income" and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the income statement. The Group and the Company does not have financial assets attributed to this group of debt instruments.

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within "Net changes in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss" in the period in which it arises.

Equity instruments

The Group and the Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised within "Net changes in fair value of financial instruments at fair value through profit loss" in the income statement.

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.

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

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, 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.

2.11 Financial assets (cont'd)

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017 (cont'd)

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 15, 16, 17, 18).

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.

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 and contract assets

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

From 1 January 2018, the Group and the Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

The Group/the Company follows a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables:

  • − Stage 1 balances, for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, or that have low credit risk at the reporting date. For these assets, 12-month expected credit losses ('ECL') are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset (that is, without deduction for credit allowance). 12-month ECL are the expected credit losses that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It is not the expected cash shortfalls over the 12-month period but the entire credit loss on an asset weighted by the probability that the loss will occur in the next 12 months;
  • − Stage 2 comprises balances for which there have been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (unless they have low credit risk at the reporting date) but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognised, but interest revenue is still calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instrument. Expected credit losses are the weighted average credit losses with the probability of default ('PD') as the weight;
  • − Stage 3 comprises balances with objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the net carrying amount (that is, net of credit allowance).

Loans granted are considered to be low credit risk when they have a low risk of default and the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.

The financial asset is considered as credit-impaired, if objective evidence of impairment exists at the reporting date. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Financial assets are written off, in whole or in part, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.

For trade, other receivables and contract assets, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables and contract assets are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3:

  • − Stage 2 comprises receivables for which there the simplified approach was applied to measure the expected lifetime credit losses, except for certain trade receivables classified in Stage 3;
  • − Stage 3 comprises trade receivables which are overdue more than 90 days (except is reasonable explanation for that) or individually identified as impaired.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 36 months before reporting date and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivable. Such forwardlooking information would include:

  • − changes in economic, regulatory, technological and environmental factors, (such as industry outlook, GDP, employment and politics); and
  • − external market indicators.

2.13 Impairment of financial and contract assets (cont'd)

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

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 "provision for impairment of financial and contract assets".

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 "provision for impairment of financial and contract assets", 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.

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-for-sale 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

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods 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 the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value. The Group and the Company hold the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Details about the Group's and Company's impairment policies and the calculation of the loss allowance are provided in Note 2.13.

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

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 18).

2.16. Financial liabilities

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

The Group and the Company recognises a financial liability when it first becomes a party to the contractual rights and obligations in the contract.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

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). Financial liabilities included in trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The fair value of a non-interest bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting is omitted.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group/Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

After initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. To this group of financial liabilities is attributable contingent consideration and derivatives that are liabilities.

2.16 Financial liabilities (cont'd)

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

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 and costs to obtain contract with customers

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018

Revenue from contracts with customers includes asset management, brokerage and other services revenue. Recognition of dividend income, disposal of investments is described below in the section of revenue recognition principles applied until 31 December 2017.

Revenue from the asset management and brokerage services

Revenue from asset management services is recognized as a percentage from asset under management during the period in which the control of the asset management services is transferred to the client, i.e. when services are provided. Asset management services are provided as long as the client has the investment in funds managed by the Group. Revenue from brokerage services is recognized at point in time when the control of the brokerage services is transferred to the client, i.e. when services are actual provided.

The Group assesses whether some asset management services are separate services provided to the customer (performance obligation), for example fund distribution. If the service is a separate service provided to the customer, its income is recognized when the service is actual provided. If it is not a separate service provided to the customer but part of the asset management service to manage funds, the recognition of the revenue is deferred and recognized over the average period of the client's contract. The Group appreciates that the distribution of the alternative funds for informed investors and the distribution of investment funds is separate service, as each fund is specialized, and the Group provides a separate identification service for the person or entity investing in such a fund, which includes elements of fund selection and application. Meanwhile, in the case of the distribution of Lithuanian pension funds, the Company assesses that the distribution is not a separate service, but a part of the asset management service, therefore, the revenue of the pension fund distribution fee is considered as a contractual obligation and recognized over the average term of the client contract - 10 years.

The Group earns variable remuneration - a success fee when the return of certain funds exceeds the expected return limit. Depending on the fund rules, the Group acquires the right to a success fee as soon as the fund's return exceeds the expected return limit or only at the end of the fund's life when the fund's assets are distributed. The Group recognizes the success fee as revenue when it acquires the right to a calculated success fee, but only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of success fee recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

2.19 Revenue recognition and costs to obtain contract with customers (cont'd)

Accounting policy from 1 January 2018 (cont'd)

Costs to obtain contracts with customers

Costs to obtain contracts with customers are commissions paid to external intermediaries for distribution of pension funds. They are capitalised and presented in the statement of financial position within 'Intangible and costs to obtain contracts with customers assets'. The amortization period used for Costs to obtain contracts with customers is 10 years and is based on the average expected duration of the client's stay with the Group. Until 31 December 2017 costs are expensed.

Interest income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).

Accounting policy applied until 31 December 2017

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 was 15 % in 2018 and in 2017. 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 10% (until 31 December 2017 - 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 these investments.

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.

In Lithuania 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 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.

From 1 January 2018 according to the new Corporate Income Tax Act of Latvia the annual profit would be not taxed. Corporate income tax would be paid on distributed profit, including conditional distributed profit as for example: expenditure not related to economic activities, some loans granted to related parties, some provisions for doubtful debts. The tax rate on (net) distributed profit would be 20/80. Until 31 December 2017 gains from the sale of shares are not taxed, and losses are not deductible in Latvia. From 1 January 2018 the tax base would be reduced by the gain on sale of shares, if the shares were held for an uninterrupted period of at least 36 months. The excess gain can be transferred and utilized in the future periods. The Group recognised from undistributed profit earned from 1 January 2018 deferred tax liability.

2.21 Current and deferred income tax (cont'd)

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 (IFRS 15 or until 31 December 2017 - IAS 18).

2.23. Segments

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

2.26 Share - based payments (cont'd)

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. 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.

2.29 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont'd)

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 unconsolidated 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.

The identification of customer of asset management entities

When the Group starts to manage the new fund, it decides on who is the client of the Group: the fund itself or its participant. This decision affects the accounting for the cost of concluding contracts with fund participants in accordance with IFRS 15. The Group has made the following decisions about who is the client of the funds it manages:

  • − In the case of Lithuanian pension funds, its client is each participants of the fund, because the Group manages the information of the fund participant and communicates directly with each participant of pension funds;
  • − In the case of investment funds, alternative funds and Latvian pension funds, the Group estimates that its client is a fund rather than a separate fund participant. This solution is based on the fact that these funds are distributed and relationships with fund investors are supported by intermediaries - usually financial brokerage firms or fund platforms. The Group usually has no contact with the investors of these funds and does not directly communicate with them. Often, the Group does not even have information about the end customers because it only accesses the compound account of the investors and not the individual accounts of the fund participants.

Absence of control over UAB Mundus

The 49% shares of UAB Mundus are owned by two key management personnel of entity. With them is signed shareholders agreement in November 2017. According to the agreement it is required consent of one of other shareholder to direct the relevant activities of the entity. In the agreement is not specified with which of other shareholder have to be agreed decisions regarding the relevant activities of the entity. Therefore, the Group has neither control nor joint control over entity and accounted the investment as associate at fair value, because the Company is investment entity.

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 unconsolidated 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 13.

The fair value of the investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and associates of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2018 was EUR 10,144 thousand and EUR 22,745 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2017 - EUR 13,994 thousand and EUR 20,008 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 13).

2.29 Significant accounting judgements and estimates (cont'd)

Estimates and assumptions (cont'd)

Useful lives of funds' management rights and amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers

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 11. 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. As at 31 December 2018 and 2017 the Group assessed that there is no impairment indication of funds' management rights. If the estimated useful lives of funds' management rights have been one year shorter, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2018 and 2017 would have increased by EUR 24 thousand.

Amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers is 10 years, based on the average expected duration of the client's stay with the Group. If the estimated amortisation period of costs to obtain contracts with customers have been one year shorter, the amortisation charge for the year ended 31 December 2018 would have increased by EUR 18 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 Group's tax losses carry forward for indefinite period of time of EUR 5,255 thousand as 31 December 2018 (as at 31 December 2017 – EUR 4,707 thousand) due to future uncertainties related with the performance of those companies. As at 31 December 2017 the Company has not recognised deferred tax asset from EUR 2,152 thousand tax losses arising from disposal of securities arising from disposal of securities, as they mature in 2018. As at 31 December 2018 in the total deferred tax asset balance of the Group the amount of EUR 453 thousand (as at 31 December 2017 – EUR 588 thousand) relates to deferred income tax asset recognized from the taxable losses of the Company and EUR 744 thousand (as at 31 December 2017 – EUR 781 thousand) was recognized from the taxable losses of other Group's entities (Note 7). As at 31 December 2018 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 participants portfolio, on the level of management fees, on future funds return and number of participants. If the profitability estimation would be change by 5%, deferred income tax asset would be recognised by EUR 37 thousand more/less (as at 31 December 2017 – EUR 39 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.

3. Changes in accounting policies

Impact of IFRS 9

The business model of the Company and the Group is to manage investment into subsidiaries together with non-current loans granted to subsidiaries as one portfolio and evaluate their performance on a combined fair value basis. On this basis information on portfolio is provided to the Board of the Company. Therefore, the portfolio is neither held to collect contractual cash flows nor held both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets. Consequently, such portfolio of financial assets must be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Before adopting of IFRS 9 the Company and the Group has attributed investment into subsidiaries together with non-current loans granted to subsidiaries to 'Assets at fair value through profit or loss' and measured them also at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company have measured investments into associates at fair value through profit or loss and retained that after adoption of new standard. Other financial investments into shares were attributed to 'Assets at fair value through profit or loss'. After adoption of IFRS 9 they have also to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company have financial assets attributed to the categories of financial assets 'Loans and receivables' and 'Held to maturity' according to IAS 39. After adoption IFRS 9 these financial assets are measured at amortised cost as before as the business model for these assets is held to collect contractual cash flows and they are SPPI. Unquoted ordinary shares attributed to the categories available-for sale was measured at cost according to IAS 39. After adoption of IFRS 9 they are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group and the Company are estimated that fair value of this investment substantially does not differs from cost. As at 31 December 2017 the Group and the Company had only financial liabilities attributed to the category 'Other financial liabilities' according to IAS 39. After adoption of IFRS 9 they are measured at amortised cost as before. The changes in hedge accounting have no impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements as the Group and the Company is not using hedging instruments.

The tables below presented reclassification of the Group's and the Company's financial assets as at 1 January 2018 as impact of adoption of IFRS 9:

Impact of IFRS 15

IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' has affected the recognition of revenue from the distribution of third-pillar pension funds and the recognition of commission fees for intermediaries for the distribution of second and third pillar pension funds. The impact is described below.

Influence on the recognition and measurement of third-pillar pension funds distribution revenue

Applying IFRS 15, the Group has assessed whether the distribution of third pillar pension funds constitutes a separate execution obligation under IFRS 15 or whether it is a part of the funds management obligations. The Group has decided that the distribution of funds is a part of the funds management obligations, therefore, the Group has decided to defer recognition of the proceeds from the distribution of these funds and to recognize these proceeds as revenue over a period of 10 years (average expected period of the new client's stay with the Group). In the statement of financial position deferred revenue is classified within 'contract liabilities'. The cumulative effect of the first-time application of the new standard was calculated by measuring the data of the revenue from the distribution for the last 2 years (since the launch of distribution products with a distribution fee). The accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2.19.

Impact of IFRS 15 (cont'd)

Influence on the recognition and measurement of commission fees for the distribution of pension funds

As the Group does not have its own intermediary network, it uses the services of external intermediaries to distribute second and third pillar pension funds. Commissions are paid for the conclusion of the contract. The commission fee is paid only when the contract is concluded, and the economic benefits are expected in the future. In the case of pension funds, each participant of the fund is valued as a client, because the Group communicates directly with each participant of pension funds. As a result, the Group considers the commission fee paid to intermediaries for the conclusion of the contracts with the new pension fund participants as the costs of to obtain contract with customers and, therefore, capitalizes and amortizes these costs over the average expected period of the new client's stay with the Group - 10 years. The amount of capitalized commission fee to intermediaries is recognized in the statement of financial position within 'Intangible and costs to obtain contracts with customers assets'. The cumulative effect of the new standard applied for the first time was calculated evaluating the data of the costs incurred due to commissions for the last 3 years (since the Group has acquired subsidiary, which incurred costs to obtain contracts with customers).

The Group chose the modified retrospective method to apply IFRS 15, recognizing the cumulative effect of applying this standard for the first time by adjusting retained earnings on the 1 January 2018, i.e. without recalculating previous reporting periods and applying this standard retrospectively only to those contracts that have not yet been settled on the 1 January 2018.

The effect of adopting IFRS 15 as at 1 January 2018 was in the Group, as follows (presented only item affected by adoption of IFRS 15):

13. 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, trade and other receivables, bonds, loans granted, borrowings, trade and other payables and in 2017 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, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2018 and 2017 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.

The carrying amount of borrowings by the Company as at 31 December 2017 approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed and adjusted when market rates change. Their fair value of borrowings is based on cash flows discounted using 3 % interest rate as at 31 December 2017. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

As at 31 December 2018 the fair value of bonds is EUR 390 thousand (carrying amount – EUR 386 thousand). It is Level 1 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.

Financial instruments carried at fair value (cont'd)

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

Investment into shares of UAB Litagra (agriculture segment) was measured by average of two methods - using EBITDA multiplier method with deduction of net debt and using Price to book value (P/BV) multiplier method. 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.

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.

UAB Mundus was measured using its assets under management and applying a multiplier of assets under management and discount for the small size of the entity and lack of marketability. The multiplier of assets under management is based on ratio between market value of comparable assets management entity and it assets under management.

Investments into UAB MD Partners are measured as fair value of net assets value of entity, where main indirectly owned assets – investment into MAIB bank – are measured by average as two methods – using price to earnings (P/E) and P/BV multiplier method of comparable banks and applying discount at which investment was acquired.

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

Legal reserve

The reserve can be used only to cover the accumulated losses.

Reserve for the acquisition of own shares

Reserve for the acquisition of own shares is formed for the purpose of buying own shares in order to keep their liquidity and manage price fluctuations. It can be formed by shareholders' decision at the Annual Shareholders Meeting from the profit available for distribution. The reserve cannot be used to increase the share capital. The reserve does not change when Company acquires own shares, but is utilised when own shares are cancelled. The shareholders can decide to transfer unused amounts of the reserve back to retained earnings at the Annual Shareholders Meeting.

Reserve for the grant of shares

Reserve for the grant of shares is formed when shares are granted by issuing a new share emission. The amount of the reserve for the grant of shares shall not be less than the sum of the emission price of the shares issued when the shares are granted free of charge, and (or) difference between the sum of the emission price of the shares issued and the sums paid by the persons acquiring the shares, when the shares are granted partly in consideration.

25. Financial risk management

25.1. 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 is the risk one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 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.

The maximum exposure to credit risk and impairment of trade and other receivables and loans granted is disclosed in Notes 15 and 16. 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 518 thousand as at 31 December 2018 and EUR 947 thousand as at 31 December 2017). In Note 16 is also disclosed credit quality of trade receivable. 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 14 and 17.

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 2018 and 2017. The Company has not any borrowing as at 31 December 2018. The Company has borrowing from its subsidiaries with fixed interest rates for one year as at 31 December 2017. 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 2018 and 2017 bonds at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk, but it was insignificant.

25 Financial risk management (cont'd)

25.1 Financial risk factors (cont'd)

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 (only in 2017) 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
2018 2017 2018 2017
OMXBBGI 2,947 3,461 2,650 3,456

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 2018 and 2017 the Group and Company has insignificant assets denominated in foreign currency.

25.1 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 All,

Invalda INVL's business is asset management and investing. Only by successfully managing the assets entrusted to us we can create long-term value for our clients, partners, employees and shareholders. As Lithuania's largest team of responsible investment professionals who know how to seize opportunities in the markets, we have been doing that for many years now.

In many of the world's financial markets, the year 2018 was the worst since the last financial crisis, and that influenced the investments that the INVL group's companies manage. While most of INVL's products were and are the best or among the best in the market and bring long-term returns for those who've chosed them, a significant part of investments finished last year in negative zone (clients' overall loss was 21.9 million euros). That also meant a reduction in Invalda INVL's profit – in 2018 the

company's earnings were 0,34 million euros.

We continually grow and improve. In 2018 we continued to invest significantly in the expansion and sustainability of our asset management business. We finished the year managing a portfolio of 675 million euros entrusted to us by more than 200,000 clients. Those figures grew by 6% and 10%, respectively, during the year. Revenue of the asset management business was 7,4 million euros, but due to the costs of rapid expansion and investments in attracting clients and funds, the overall result of the asset management business was a negative 0,7 million euros.

Groundwork for the INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund, the launch of the INVL Special Opportunities Fund, adjustments to the retail business with a focus on the user-friendly and accessibile services, changes and investments related to the 2 nd pillar pension fund reform and the offer of 3rd pillar pension fund opportunities – most of these tasks were done precisely in 2018. And we can already see positive effects of that work. We are happy to be able to introduce new significant investment opportunities, and also to contribute financially and through our work to the growth of individual companies and of the country and region.

Another important year lies ahead of us. We are sharing our knowledge with society about accumulation and investment opportunities and their importance, and we're working with the changes in the area of pension funds. In 2019 the INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund has begun operations and is picking up speed. On completing its first closing in February this year, it became the largest private equity investment fund in the Baltic countries. We abide by a policy of investing together with our clients. At year-end value those investments totalled 26,4 million euros. We intend to significantly increase our investment in the products that INVL manages, not investing in separate businesses directly, in that way seeking maximal alignment of the interests of investors and the manager.

Before inviting you to get acquainted with the 2018 report, I want to thank the employees and shareholders of the INVL group for their belief in the importance of sustainable activities and their active support every day contributing to the positive changes and expansion. I believe that together we have laid solid foundations for successful operations, and for new opportunities for growth and improvement.

Darius Šulnis President of Invalda INVL

Invalda INVL, AB is an asset management and investment company. The significant impact for the profit of the company has investments recalculation by the true value as well as acquisition and selling deals, therefore not all company performance indicators are suitable for the evaluation of Invalda INVL, AB. Furthermore, investments into main asset management business are recorded at equity method, therefore book value may be different from the market price. That is why some ratios can show not real situation of the company.

4. Information on the group's activities

4.1. Asset Management business

Invalda INVL manages the licensed asset management companies INVL Asset Management in Lithuania and Latvia, the financial brokerage company INVL Finasta and the land administration company INVL Farmland Management. At the beginning of February 2018, INVL Asset Management acquired a 51 percent stake in Mundus, a management company

In 2018 a significant part of the capital markets were negative, and therefore some of the funds managed by INVL were negative. However, there were a number of positive changes in asset management last year.

In the beginning fo the reporting period INVL Asset Management has launched a new mutual fund – the INVL Absolute Return Subfund – which is able to invest in diverse asset classes without restrictions on the proportions of the fund's assets that may be allocated, at times thus even reaching 100% equity or 100% bonds.

INVL Baltic Forest Fund I has completed its second distribution and has attracted EUR 10 million for the acquisition of forest.

In October 2018, Invalda INVL with its customers, who invested EUR 4.5 million through the INVL Special Opportunities Fund, and an international consortium of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and private equity manager Horizon Capital completed the transaction and acquired 41 percent of Moldova's largest commercial bank Moldova-Agroindbank.

In June 2018 launched a new closed-end mutual fund intended for professional investors: the INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund. The fund will seek to form a diversified portfolio of Baltic Sea region companies. The fund's target size is EUR 200 million. During the first distribution stage, EUR 106 million was attracted and the fund became the largest private equity investment fund in the Baltic States. Invalda INVL will invest EUR 19.15 million in the INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund. It is provided that the capital committed to the fund will be called in stages, for the execution of specific transactions. After the

investment in the INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund is made, Invalda INVL undertakes not to invest in private equity assets that comply with the fund's strategy and to conduct its main investment activity through this fund.

In 2018, a reform of the Lithuanian pension system was announced, which will reduce the management fee and management income by 50 percent within three years. Decreasing income is expected to be offset by the growth in the number of customers and the assets under management.

In December 2018 INVL Asset Management has established 2nd pillar pension funds based on a life-cycle investment strategy. The company offers to accumulate in these funds from the beginning of 2019. The new funds were established on the basis of reform to the country's pension system, according to which as of 2019 people will accumulate in the 2nd pillar in life-cycle funds. People accumulating in life-cycle funds no longer have to worry about changing funds – the funds themselves will change their investment strategy based on participants' age, thus avoiding accumulation in a fund with an unsuitable investment strategy as it was not changed according to age.

5. Estimation of Issuer's and Group's activity last year and activity plans and forecasts

5.1. Evaluation of implementation of goals for 2018

In 2018, the goal of Invalda INVL group was to continue organic development, present new and significant investment opportunities to existing and new customers. Last year, the second stage of distribution of INVL Baltic Forest Fund I was successful. It attracted a maximum amount of EUR 10 million. In 2018 two funds for informed investors started their activity: INVL Special Opportunities Fund, which indirectly invests in shares of the largest Moldovan bank Moldova - Agroindbank, and INVL Baltic Sea Growth Capital Fund, which invests in INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund established in June 2018 and provides an opportunity to invest indirectly in the latter fund for customers who meet the requirements of informed investors. As mentioned in paragraph 6.1. of this report, last year a closed-end investment fund for professional investors INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund was established - a fund investing in business in the Baltic Sea region, aiming to

attract 200 million euros of investment. During the first stage of the distribution, EUR 106 million was attracted and the fund became the largest private equity investment fund in the Baltic States.

In 2018 we were actively working with Invalda INVL's investments. Changes made in individual companies, investments and improvements in performance already have a positive impact on the activity of specific businesses, and this must increase the value of companies in the future.

Although the profit of Invalda INVL was the lowest in recent years, we believe that the growth of asset management business, positive changes in managed companies and investments made in 2018 suggest that the year was important and has a positive impact on the Group's development and future results.

5.2. Activity plans and forecasts

The goal of Invalda INVL group is to ensure successful management of assets entrusted by customers, partners and shareholders. Therefore, traditionally, the focus will be on working with existing and new investments. Our ambition is that the products managed by the group are the best on the market and are usually chosen by investors in individual categories.

We will continue to invest in the development of asset management business, focusing on product quality and convenience, and expecting continuing quick growth of the managed funds. The main priorities of 2019 include effective and economically based participation in ongoing pension funds reform and the successful capital raising and making the first investments by INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund.

First of all, as we grow organically, we are actively looking for opportunities for asset management business development and acquisitions. We will continue to focus not on short-term financial goals, but on the qualitative and quantitative growth of asset management business and the creation of long-term value for our customers, partners and stakeholders.

The most significant impact on Invalda INVL's result is the change in the value of own investments. We understand this and, at the level of individual investments, we are doing specific work focused on increasing the return on these investments. We adhere to the policy that Invalda INVL's funds should be invested together with INVL customers. We believe that this creates an identity of interest and has a positive impact on mutual trust and long-term cooperation between stakeholders.

We strive for Invalda INVL to be the leading specialized asset management and investment group in Lithuania and one of the leading in the region.

17. Risk management

17.1. A description of the principal risks and uncertainties

Business risks

Activities of Invalda INVL, AB are influenced by overall economic situation of countries of activity and investments. Invalda INVL, AB also depends on its main managers – their loss could have a negative effect on activities of the company and some of business opportunities could be lost.

The main activity of Invalda INVL group – 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. We have chosen a regulated asset management business model, and therefore the increase in regulatory burden can increase our costs and negatively impact on profitability. Asset management business must also meet capital adequacy ratios, which may require additional contributions to asset management companies in case of loss.

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 and downturns can affect the companies and assets that we have invested in, both directly and through collective investment undertakings, and reduce their value, while negatively impacting our performance.

Invalda INVL may not be able to realize profits from investments into corporate shares or collective investment undertakings. The companies and collective investment undertakings we invest in may not create value or even destroy it, devaluing our investments.

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 direct portfolio companies or businesses that we have invested in through collective investment undertakings 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. The Issuer also bears the risk of funds holding in bank accounts as well as investing into short-term financial instruments.

Investment risk

Our investments may be illiquid; there is a risk that we may not exit out investment at the request of the issuer's management. We may exit our investments when the portfolio company has a liquidity event, such as a sale, recapitalisation or listing in the stock exchange, or when the collective investment undertakings we invest in are making payments to investors.

Our investments into corporate shares and collective investment undertakings 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.

Such additional remuneration includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations);
  • 4) he/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);
  • 5) he/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated companies within the past year directly or as a partner. shareholder. director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship.

Six specific responsible investment Principles are outlined by the PRI. They provide a menu of possible actions for incorporating ESG issues into investment practice – from investment analysis and decision-making to their incorporation into ownership policies and practices. Additionally, signatories to the Principles are encouraged to promote the Principles' acceptance in the investment industry and to work together for their effective implementation.
