AB INVL Baltic Real Estate (hereinafter the Company) is a joint stock company registered in the Republic of Lithuania. It was established on 29 April 2014, following the split-off of 30.90% assets, equity and liabilities from AB Invalda LT (code 121304349).

The Company's shares are traded on the Baltic Secondary List of NASDAQ Vilnius from 4 June 2014.
As at 31 December 2014 the number of employees of the Group and the Company was 3 and 1, respectively.
According to the Law on Companies of Republic of Lithuania, the annual financial statements prepared by the Management are authorised by the General Shareholders' meeting. The shareholders hold the power not to approve the annual financial statements and the right to request new financial statements to be prepared.
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 are as follows:
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 investment properties and investments in subsidiaries that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Litas (LTL) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.
IFRIC 21 Levies (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 17 June 2014)
The interpretation clarifies the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the event identified by the legislation that triggers the obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically compelled to continue operating in a future period, or prepares its financial statements under the going concern assumption, does not create an obligation. The same recognition principles apply in interim and annual financial statements. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising from emissions trading schemes is optional. The Group is not currently subjected to significant levies so the impact on the Group would be not material.
The following amendments to existing standards are adopted by the EU, but not yet effective, have not been early adopted and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company and the Group:
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the group has control. The group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, are eliminated in full.
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from parent shareholders' equity. The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to noncontrolling interests are also recorded in equity.
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, joint venture 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.
The financial statements are prepared in Litas (LTL), which was local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, till 31st December of 2014, and presented in LTL thousand. Litas is the Company's and the Group's functional and presentation currency. Starting from 2 February 2002 until 31 December 2014 Lithuanian Litas is pegged to euro at the rate of 3.4528 Litas for 1 euro. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
As these financial statements are presented in LTL thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.
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 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 noncontrolling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration, which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of IAS 39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss.
IFRS provides no guidance on the accounting for common control transactions, but requires that entities develop an accounting policy for them [IAS 8.10]. The two methods most commonly chosen for accounting for business combinations between entities under common control are (1) the acquisition method and (2) the predecessor values method. Once a method has been adopted it should be applied consistently as a matter of accounting policy. Neither IFRS 3 nor any other IFRS require or prohibit the application of either method to business combinations involving entities under common control.
The Group elected to apply predecessor values method for transactions under common control. The principles of predecessor accounting are:
The Group incorporated the acquired entities results and balance sheets prospectively from the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entities for the period before the transaction occurred. The corresponding amounts for the previous year are also not restated.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day to day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 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 estimated useful lives of 4 to 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 statement of comprehensive income within "other income" in the year the asset is derecognised.
Properties that are held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation are classified as investment properties.
Land held under operating leases is classified and accounted for by the Group as investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met. Land is not presented separately from the buildings as these assets cannot be acquired or sold separately.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within "Net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property" in the year of retirement or disposal.
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 their expected useful lives.
Intangible assets not yet available for use, such as technical development projects where the related property is not built, are tested annually for impairment and whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Borrowing costs are capitalised on project if the use of it is dependent on construction of a related asset, during the construction phase of the asset, and up to the time that related property is available for use or sale. Intangible assets not yet available for use are classified within intangible assets in the statement of financial position.
Investments in subsidiaries in the Company's stand-alone financial statements are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of subsidiaries are recognized in profit and loss within "Net changes in fair value of subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss".
Investments in subsidiaries in stand-alone financial statements of AB Invalda LT, from which the Company was split-off, were carried at cost, less impairment. Although the Company has elected to apply the predecessor values method for business combinations under common control, it has changed its accounting policy for investments in subsidiaries from cost method to fair value method, as the Company believes that fair value model more effectively demonstrates its financial position. The change in accounting policy had no impact to the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries.
The Group 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 makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss.
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 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.
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. 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 determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
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.
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 profit or loss 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.
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. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.
The Group 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 Group assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. When financial asset is assessed as uncollectible the impaired asset is derecognised.
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.
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. The Group recalculates the carrying amount by computing the present value of estimated future cash flows at the financial instrument's original effective interest rate, any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date.
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.
Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:
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 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 profit or loss 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.
Provisions are recognised when the Group has 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. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss. 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.
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. A provision for onerous lease contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
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 proceeds. 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.
The Company's share capital and equity was formed in accordance with the procedure set forth in the terms of split-off on 29 April 2014, whereas assets received and liabilities assumed were estimated at predecessor carrying values at the date of split-off, except for investments in subsidiaries for which accounting policy was changed and they were revalued at fair value at the date of split-off (Note 2.9).
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group company are classified as operating leases. Payments, including pre-payments, received under operating leases (net of any incentives granted to the lessee) are credited to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Property leased out under operating leases is included in investment property in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 12). See Note 2.19 for the recognition of rental income.
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 statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The group 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 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.
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. When the Group provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income.
Utilities and other services income are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions. All financial information, including the measure of profit, total assets and total liabilities, is analysed as single reporting segment - real estate segment, therefore is not further disclosed in these financial statements.
Borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised directly in equity.
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 2014. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.
Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Following the provisions of Law on Corporate Income Tax the 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 shall not be taxed where the entity transferring the shares held more than 25% of voting shares in that entity for an uninterrupted period of at least two years. If mentioned condition is met or is expected to be met by the management of the Company, no deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with carrying amounts of these investments.
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. 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. 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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 these financial statements:
AB Invalda LT management has made a judgement that the split-off completed in 2014 as a result of which the Company was established was not in scope of IFRIC 17 "Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Owners". IFRIC 17 includes an exemption that the Interpretation does not apply to a distribution of a non-cash asset that is ultimately controlled by the same party or parties before and after the distribution. During the split-off shares were allocated proportionally to all shareholders of AB Invalda LT and in the newly established entities, AB Invalda LT was controlled according to the agreement by the same shareholders' group before and after the Split-off, therefore this exemption could be applied. As a result the Company and the Group elected to apply predecessor values method for transactions under common control. The Group incorporated the acquired entities results and balance sheets prospectively from the date on which the business combination between entities under common control occurred. More details are described in Note 2.5
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 investment properties was based on the income approach by reference to rentals obtained from the subject property or similar properties. Discounted cash flow projections in the income approach are based on estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of any existing lease and other contracts and by external evidence such as current (at the date of the statement of financial position) market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition, and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows. The future rental rates were estimated depending on the actual location, type and quality of the properties, and taking into account market data and projections at the valuation date.
The fair value of the investment properties as at 31 December 2014 was LTL 116,870 thousand (described in more details in Note 12).
The fair values of investments in subsidiaries are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily discounted cash flows The fair value of these investments was measured at the fair value of their net assets. The main assets of subsidiaries are investment properties, which are measured at fair value using the income approach. The main liabilities of subsidiaries are loans granted by the Company, related parties or external financial institutions, which are measured using an income approach, such as a present value technique. The models used to determine fair values are periodically reviewed and compared against historical results to ensure their reliability.
The fair value of the investments in subsidiaries as at 31 December 2014 was LTL 39,174 thousand (described in more details in Note 5).
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks and legal risks. 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 borrowings, 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 and cash which arise directly from its operations. The Company and the Group have not used any derivative instruments so far, as management considered that there is no necessity for them.
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 arises from cash and cash equivalents, credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables and loans granted. The Group seeks to ensure that rental contracts are entered into only with lessees with an appropriate credit history, from some of lessees advance lease payments are required.
At the date of financial statements there are no indications of worsening credit quality of trade and other receivables and loans granted, which are neither past due, nor impaired, due to constant control by the Group of loans and receivable balances. The maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in Notes 15 and 16. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania, except for loans granted to Latvian entities.
The Group has an agreement with external entity, which provides property management services to the Group. The rent income and related revenues from the Group's owned properties are collected through this entity, which issues the invoices for rent and related services to tenants at the end of each month. Therefore, the Group has significant concentration of credit risk with respect to this entity. This third party accounts for approximately 81% of the total Group's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2014.
With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents 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.
For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties are accepted.
The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the banks:
| 2014 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Company | |||
| Moody's ratings | ||||
| Prime-1 | 484 | 146 | ||
| Prime-2 | - | - | ||
| Not Prime | 753 | 1 | ||
| 1,237 | 147 |
Market risk
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the non-current debt obligations with floating interest rates. Current environment is not attractive to seek for fixed interest rates from financial institutions (fixed interest rate is significantly higher than the float, and due to the volatility in the market fixed interest rates are offered for a short period of time only).
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in floating interest rates (EURIBOR), with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's equity other than current year profit impact.
| Increase/decrease | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| in basic points | Group | ||
| 2014 | |||
| EUR | 50 | (264) | |
| EUR | (10) | 53 | |
Loans granted at fixed rates expose the Company and the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The loans granted are denominated in the Euro. The fixed interest rates are reviewed each year to conform to the market interest rates. The Company and the Group are not using any financial instruments to hedge this risk.
The Group and the Company holds assets and liabilities denominated only in the Litas and the Euro. In Lithuania the Euro was pegged to the Litas, therefore, there are no fluctuations between these currencies. The national currency of Republic of Latvia is Euro from 1 January 2014. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to foreign exchange risk. From 1 January 2015 the Euro also became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Group has no significant exposure to price risk as it does not hold any equity securities or commodities. The Group is exposed to price risk other than in respect of financial instruments, such as investment properties price risk including its rentals risk.
The Company's investments are exposed to price risk arising from uncertainties about future equity values of the subsidiaries. The fair value of subsidiaries depends on investment properties price risk, interest rate risk and other factors. Refer to sensitivity analysis disclosed in Note 5.
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 an overall Group level. The Group's and the Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans. 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. Short-term liquidity for the Group and the Company is controlled through monthly monitoring of the liquidity status and needs of funds.
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 Group and the Company have not been facing any liquidity issues so far.
The Group's liquidity ratio (total current assets / total current liabilities) as at 31 December 2014 was approximately 0.51. The Company's liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2014 was approximately 0.13.
Management of the Group forecasted the cash flows of the Group for 2015 and the forecast indicates that the Group will have sufficient funds to cover liabilities, which fall due in 2015. If the liquidity condition requires, the related party AB Invalda LT would extend the maturity of borrowings beyond 31 December 2015 (with carrying value of LTL 2,037 thousand as at 31 December 2014).
The contractual maturity of borrowings of the Company from controlled subsidiary is 31 December 2015 (carrying value LTL 4,584 thousand as at 31 December 2014). But if funds generated during year are not sufficient to settle this liability, at each year end the maturity of the loan will be prolonged for one extra year and new market interest rate is determined.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's and the Company's financial liabilities as at 31 December 2014 based on contractual undiscounted payments.

The primary objective of the capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company maintain a strong credit health and healthy capital ratios in order to support their business and maximise shareholder value. The Company's management supervises the investments so that they are in compliance with requirements applied to the capital, specified in the appropriate legal acts, as well as provide the Group's management with necessary information.
The Group's and the Company's capital comprises share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group and the Company manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions and specific risks of their activity. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year 2014.
The Company is obliged to keep its equity ratio at not less than 50 % of its share capital, as imposed by the Law on Companies of Republic of Lithuania. The Company and the Group except for one dormant subsidiary complied with this requirement as at 31 December 2014.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices);
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's and the Company's assets measured at fair value in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2014.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total balance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets of the Group | ||||
| Investment properties (Note 12) | - | - | 116,870 | 116,870 |
| Assets of the Company | ||||
| Subsidiaries (Note 5) | - | - | 39,174 | 39,174 |
There were no transfers of assets between the Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during 2014, but there were transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 (Note 12).
There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group's and the Company's statements of financial position.
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, loans granted, trade and other payables, non-current and current borrowings, provision for onerous contract.
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 2014 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.
The fair value of loans granted by the Company and the Group was LTL 15,454 thousand and LTL 14,287 thousand as at 31 December 2014, respectively (their carrying amount – LTL 15,343 thousand and LTL 14,176 thousand respectively) . Their fair value is based on cash flows discounted using 4.5 % interest rate as at 31 December 2014. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.
The carrying amount of borrowings of the Group and the Company and provision for onerous contract as at 31 December 2014 approximated their fair value.
5 Subsidiaries
The Group had the following directly held by the Company subsidiaries:
| Name | Country of incorporation and place of business |
Proportion of shares (voting rights) directly held by the Company (%) |
Nature of business |
|---|---|---|---|
| AB Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas |
Lithuania | 100.00 | Real estate owner and lessor |
| UAB Rovelija | Lithuania | 100.00 | Real estate owner and lessor |
| UAB Perspektyvi veikla | Lithuania | 100.00 | Dormant |
| UAB Proprietas | Lithuania | 100.00 | Dormant |
All subsidiary undertakings listed in the table above are included in the consolidation.
Subsidiary AB Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas also owns 100% of the shares of UAB INTF Investicija. In May 2014 the bankruptcy was instituted by the court for this entity and it ceased to be a subsidiary as a result of loss of control and is not consolidated by the Group. Through the appointment of bankruptcy administrator changes to decision-making rights occurred and it means that the relevant activities are no longer directed through voting rights the Group has, but instead give bankruptcy administrator the current ability to direct the relevant activities. The investment in UAB INTF Investicija is impaired to nil.
The subsidiary AB Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas has no right to pay dividends without bank consent according to borrowings agreements. The shares of AB Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas were pledged to the banks as collateral for the borrowing.
Subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss in the Company's stand-alone financial statements. It is Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value of investments is measured at the fair value of their net assets. The main assets of subsidiaries are investment properties, which are measured at fair value using the income approach (level 3 measurement, more details provided in Note 12). The main liabilities of subsidiaries are loans granted by the Company, related party and financial institutions, which are measured using an income approach, such as a present value technique. The fair value of subsidiaries mostly depends on the fair value of investment properties owned by entities and related sensitivity disclosures are provided in Note 12. Other significant unobservable input in the fair value of equity of subsidiaries is the discount rate applied to measure the fair value of borrowings of subsidiaries. The Group used 4.5% discount rate to measure the fair value of borrowings of subsidiaries received from the Company and related party and 2.383% discount rate to measure the fair value of bank borrowing as at 31 December 2014. There is interrelationship between the discount rate applied to measure the fair value of investment properties (Note 12) and the discount rate applied to measure the fair value of borrowings of subsidiaries offsetting each other, therefore the changes in these inputs should be analysed in combination. If these discount rates would be by 50 basis points lower with all other variables remaining constant, the positive change in the fair value of subsidiaries would amount approximately LTL 7,111 thousand. If the discount rate would be by 50 basis points higher with all other variables remaining constant, the negative change in the fair value of subsidiaries would amount approximately LTL 4,934 thousand.
The following table presents the movement in Level 3 instruments for the year ended 31 December 2014.
| Fair value of subsidiaries at split-off | 37,937 |
|---|---|
| Increase of share capital by conversion of loans granted to subsidiaries (Note 15) Gains and losses recognised in profit or loss (within 'Net changes in fair value of subsidiaries at fair value |

On 21 March 2014 the split-off terms of AB Invalda LT (code 121304349) were announced. The Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting approved the terms of the Company's split-off on 28 April 2014. The Split-off was completed on 29 April 2014. According to the terms, three new entities AB INVL Baltic Farmland, AB INVL Baltic Real Estate and AB INVL Technology, comprising 47.95% of AB Invalda LT total assets measured at carrying amounts, were split-off from AB Invalda LT. Following the split-off, 30.90% of the assets, equity and liabilities were transferred to the Company.
The Company's share capital and equity was formed in accordance with the procedure set forth in the terms of split-off on 29 April 2014, whereas assets received and liabilities assumed were estimated at predecessor carrying values at the date of split-off, except for investments in subsidiaries for which accounting policy was changed and they were revalued at fair value at the date of split-off (Note 2.9).
On the split-off the fair value of investments to subsidiaries was determined under the same principles and methods as those applied as at 31 December 2014. More details are disclosed in Note 5.
Transferred net assets to the Company were as follows:
| Investments into subsidiaries (Note 2.9) | 37,937 |
|---|---|
| Loans granted | 15,444 |
| Prepayments and deferred charges | 5 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 155 |
| Total assets | 53,541 |
| Borrowings | (4,849) |
| Total liabilities | (4,849) |
| Total net assets | 48,692 |

| Share premium | 10,240 |
| Reserves | 23,765 |
| Retained earnings | 7,643 |
| Total equity | 48,692 |
During the split-off part of liability rising from credit agreement with Šiaulių bankas was transferred to the Company (LTL 428 thousand). The credit was fully repaid in the beginning of May 2014.
6 Split-off (cont'd)
The Group elected to apply predecessor values method for transactions under common control (Note 2.5). No assets or liabilities were restated to their fair values. Instead, the Group incorporated predecessor carrying values.
Transferred net assets to the Group were as follows:
| Intangible assets | 552 |
|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment | 29 |
| Investment properties | 116,725 |

Investment properties of the Group are office buildings, warehouses and old flats' building. The majority of buildings and warehouses are leased under the operating lease agreements and generate rental income. The direct operating expenses arising from investment properties that generated rental income amounted to LTL 2,709 thousand. The direct operating expenses arising from investment properties that did not generate rental income amounted to LTL 7 thousand.
Investment properties are measured at fair value. Leased investment properties and investment properties held for future redevelopment were valued using income approach by accredited valuer UAB OBER-HAUS Nekilnojamasis Turtas on 21 November, 8 December and 31 December 2014.
As at 29 April 2014 the fair value of the leased investment properties and investment properties held for future redevelopment has been determined based on the valuations performed by the above mentioned accredited valuer on 26-29 November 2013. There were no significant changes in the market at the end of 2013 and during the four months of 2014 that could have an effect on the value of those investment properties, therefore the updated valuation was not performed as at 29 April 2014.
Other investment properties were valued by the management using sales comparison method on 29 April 2014.
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. The Group owned old flats building and had an intention to redevelop in future. Therefore, the Group's management after consultation with accredited valuer has decided that this investment property has to be valued using income approach, which reflects future redevelopment, rather than sales comparison method based on old flats market sales prices.
The fair value represents the price that would be received selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, in compliance with the International Valuation Standards set out by the International Valuation Standards Committee. An investment property's fair value was based either on the market approach by reference to sales in the market of comparable properties or the income approach by reference to rentals obtained from the subject property or similar properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogues transactions in the market. These values are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size and quality of interior fittings. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per square metre.
Income approach is based on the assumption that defined correlation between net activity future income and fair value of the objects exists. For leased investment properties main inputs include:
Future rental cash inflows based on the actual location, type and quality of the properties and supported by the terms of any existing lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
Discount rates reflecting current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of cash flows;
Estimated vacancy rates based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease;
Maintenance costs including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the property for its expected useful life;
Capitalisation rates based on actual location, size and quality of the properties and taking into account market data at the valuation date;
Terminal value taking into account assumptions regarding maintenance costs, vacancy rates and market rents.
Investment properties held for future redevelopment were estimated taking into account the following estimates (in addition to the inputs noted above):
Costs to complete that are based on the valuers' experience and knowledge of market conditions and term sheets outlined in approved detailed plans. Costs to complete also include a reasonable profit margin;
Completion dates, as properties under construction require approval or permits from oversight bodies at various points in the development process, including approval or permits in respect of initial design, zoning, commissioning, and compliance with environmental regulations. Based on management's experience with similar developments, all relevant permits and approvals are expected to be obtained. However, the completion date of the development may vary depending on, among other factors, the timeliness of obtaining approvals and any remedial action required by the Group.
There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period.

Commercial real estate market was showing a strong growth trend in 2014. Together with the strengthening economy, financial situation for the most of the businesses was improving and they started looking for their office space. According to a research by UAB Inreal, during 2014 two new office centres were opened in Vilnius and they increased the overall size of the office space in Vilnius by 13,600 square meters. Almost all the new square meters were rented soon after the opening and the overall rate of vacancy continued to drop by 1.1pp to 4.0 percent in the year end. In 2015 office space market in Vilnius should grow by another 29,200 square meters of Class A and 9,000 square meters of Class B offices. Most of the free space should be taken before the end of construction, therefore the rate of vacancy should stay flat. It is expected that rent prices of Class A offices should continue growing at the rate of 6-9 percent.
Industrial real estate market recently is volatile due to a tense political situation between western countries and Russia. When comparing a high demand of warehouse space in the beginning of 2014 to the end of the year, project developers have become more prudent. During 2014 two logistics centres were opened in Vilnius together amounting to 18,500 square meters of free warehouse space. In 2015 opening of one more logistics centre (8 500 square meters) is planned. Rent price during the period have stayed stable.
In Latvia during the first three quarters of 2014 a few logistics centres were finished together amounting to 43,000 square meters of warehouse space, what is more, around 112,000 square meters were already planned for 2015. Strong excess demand in the market resulted in fully booked space before the opening. Therefore, despite the new objects being opened, the rate of vacancy has slipped by 0.7 pp to 5.1% during the 3rd quarter of 2014. During 2014 in Latvia rent prices have stayed stable as well as in Lithuania and ranged for the Class A centres near Riga between 3.5 and 4.2 euro per square meter.

Information, provided in this document, should not be considered complete and covering all aspects of the risk factors associated with public company's INVL Baltic Real Estate activity and securities.
The value of the investment in real estate can vary in the short term, depending on the general economic conditions, rent and purchase prices of real estate, demand and supply fluctuations. Investment in real estate should be carried out in the medium and long term, so that investor can avoid the short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is connected with the higher than medium risks. After failure of investments or under other ill-affected circumstances (having been unable to pay for the creditors) the bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.
It is the risk of incurring losses due to low liquidity of the market, when it becomes difficult to sell the assets at the desired time and at the desired price. In order to manage this risk, public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate will keep monitoring the real estate market, will prepare in advance for property sales process, thereby reducing the liquidity risk.
Real estate development projects, undertaken by the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate, may take longer than anticipated or be more costly than expected, which may reduce the return on investments of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate. In managing this risk, the company will allocate sufficient resources to the real estate development project budgets' and time control.
Leverage usage risk is associated with potential real estate depreciation, which was acquired using borrowed money. The higher the leverage used, the greater the likelihood of this risk. The level of bank loans of the public joint-stock company's INVL Baltic Real Estate subsidiary - Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas, AB, is close to 46% of its real estate market value.
This is the risk that one failed investment will significantly influence results of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate. In order to reduce the risk, company will include a sufficient number of different real estate properties in its portfolio, thus maintaining an appropriate level of diversification.
Tax laws change may lead to a greater taxation of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate and its group companies, which in turn may reduce the profits and assets of the company.
It is likely that during its operational period public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate will face both inflation and deflation risks as investments in real estate are long term. At high inflation, the value of lease agreements, which are not subject to inflation or at high deflation, the value of lease contracts, which are linked to inflation, will decrease.
Public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate will seek to lease real estate in the highest price possible. There is a risk that tenants will not fulfill their obligations - it would adversely affect the profit of INVL Baltic Real Estate. Large parts of liabilities not fulfilled in time may cause disturbances in activities of public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate, there might be a need to seek additional sources of financing, which may not always be available.
Public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate has granted loans to the other companies. There is a risk that if the financial state of these companies become worse, INVL Baltic Real Estate may not receive all the loans granted.

| 3.2.

In order shareholders and investors are able to ascertain whether member's competence is further relevant, the collegial body should, in its annual report, disclose the information on its composition and particular competences of individual members which are relevant to their service on the collegial body. |
Yes | Information about the composition of the Board, members' education, work experience and participation in other companies is disclosed in Company's periodical reports and website. |
| 3.4. In order to maintain a proper balance in terms of the current qualifications possessed by its members, the desired composition of the collegial body shall be determined with regard to the company's structure and activities, and have this periodically evaluated. The collegial body should ensure that it is composed of members who, as a whole, have the required diversity of knowledge, judgment and experience to complete their tasks properly. The members of the Audit Committee, collectively, should have a recent knowledge and relevant experience in the fields of finance, accounting and/or audit for the stock exchange listed companies. At least one of the members of the Remuneration Committee should have knowledge of and experience in the field of remuneration policy. |
No | The company operates in the market less than one year. In the future the company will regularly assess the composition of the Board with consideration to the nature of Company's activity and structure.

| 3.5. All new members of the collegial body should be offered a tailored program focused on introducing a member with his/her duties, corporate organization and activities. The collegial body should conduct an annual review to identify fields where its members need to update their skills and knowledge. |
No | Presently, members of the Board do not perform the assessment of their skills and knowledge. |
|---|---|---|
| 3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest related with a member of the collegial body are resolved properly, the collegial body should comprise a sufficient number of independent members. |
No | Independency of the elected Board members is not assessed and the content of independent members' sufficiency isn't set either. |
| 3.7. A member of the collegial body should be considered to be independent only if he is free of any business, family or other relationship with the company, its controlling shareholder or the management of either, that creates a conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all cases when member of the collegial body is likely to become dependent are impossible to list, moreover, relationships and circumstances associated with the determination of independence may vary amongst companies and the best practices of solving this problem are yet to evolve in the course of time, assessment of independence of a member of the collegial body should be based on the contents of the relationship and circumstances rather than their form. The key criteria for identifying whether a member of the collegial body can be considered to be independent are the following: 1)he/she is not an executive director or member of the Board (if a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting is the Supervisory Board) of the company or any associated company and has not been such |
No | Members of the Board are elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting. They are independent and in their actions seek the benefit to the Company and its shareholders, however fail to meet the recommendation on independency. |

||
| from the company or associated company other than remuneration for the office in the collegial body. Such additional remuneration includes participation in share options or some other performance based pay systems; it does not include compensation payments for the previous office in the company (provided that such payment is no way related with later position) as per pension plans (inclusive of deferred compensations); |
||
| 4)he/she is not a controlling shareholder or representative of such shareholder (control as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1); |
| 5)he/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated companies within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a major supplier or service provider (inclusive of financial, legal, counselling and consulting services), major client or organization receiving significant payments from the company or its group; |
||
|---|---|---|
| 6)he/she is not and has not been, during the last three years, partner or employee of the current or former external audit company of the company or associated companies; |
||
| 7)he/she is not an executive director or member of the Board in some other company where executive director of the company or member of the Board (if a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting is the Supervisory Board) is non-executive director or member of the Supervisory Board, he/she may not also have any other material relationships with executive directors of the company that arise from their participation in activities of other companies or bodies; |
||
| 8) he/she has not been in the position of a member of the collegial body for over than 12 years; |
||
| 9)he/she is not a close relative to an executive director or member of the Board (if a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting is the Supervisory Board) or to any person listed in above items 1 to 8. Close relative is considered to be a spouse (common law spouse), children and parents. |
||
| 3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body may decide that, despite a particular member meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, he can not be considered independent due to special personal or company-related circumstances. |
No | No Board members' independency assessment and announcement practice is applicable in the Company. |
| 3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial body has come to in its determination of whether a particular member of the body should be considered to be independent should be disclosed. When a person is nominated to become a member of the collegial body, the company should disclose whether it considers the person to be independent. When a particular member of the collegial body does not meet one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code, the company should disclose its reasons for nevertheless considering the member to be independent. In addition, the company should annually disclose which members of the collegial body it considers to be independent. |
No | No Board members' independency assessment and announcement practice is applicable in the Company. |
| 3.10. When one or more criteria of independence set out in this Code has not been met throughout the year, the company should disclose its reasons for considering a particular member of the collegial body to be independent.

|
| 4.1. The collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should ensure integrity and transparency of the company's financial statements and the control system.

Independent members of the collegial body should (a) under all circumstances maintain independence of their analysis, decision-making and actions (b) do not seek and accept any unjustified privileges that might compromise their independence, and (c) clearly express their objections should a member consider that decision of the collegial body is against the interests of the company. Should a collegial body have passed decisions independent member has serious doubts about, the member should make adequate conclusions. Should an independent member resign from his office, he should explain the reasons in a letter addressed to the collegial body or Audit Committee and, if necessary, respective company-not-pertaining body (institution). |
Yes | According to the information held with the Company, all Board members act in good will with respect to the Company, are guided by the interests of the Company, not by the personal or third parties' interests, and seek to preserve their independency while adopting the decisions. |
| 4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time and attention to perform his duties as a member of the collegial body. Each member of the collegial body should limit other professional obligations of his (in particular any directorships held in other companies) in such a manner they do not interfere with proper performance of duties of a member of the collegial body. In the event a member of the |
Yes | The Board members perform their functions properly: they actively participate in the Board meetings and devote sufficient time for the performance of their duties as Board members. |
| collegial body should be present in less than a half of the meetings of the collegial body throughout the financial year of the company, shareholders of the company should be notified. |
||
|---|---|---|
| 4.4. Where decisions of a collegial body may have a different effect on the company's shareholders, the collegial body should treat all shareholders impartially and fairly. It should ensure that shareholders are properly informed on the company's affairs, strategies, risk management and resolution of conflicts of interest. The company should have a clearly established role of members of the collegial body when communicating with and committing to shareholders. |
Yes | The Board treats all shareholders honestly and impartially. |
| 4.5. It is recommended that transactions (except insignificant ones due to their low value or concluded when carrying out routine operations in the company under usual conditions), concluded between the company and its shareholders, members of the supervisory or managing bodies or other natural or legal persons that exert or may exert influence on the company's management should be subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed adopted only provided the majority of the independent members of the collegial body voted for such a decision. |
No | There were no significant transactions between the Company and its shareholders or management bodies. Prior approval of the Board is not required for agreements between the Company and the members of the management bodies. |
| 4.6. The collegial body should be independent in passing decisions that are significant for the company's operations and strategy. Taken separately, the collegial body should be independent of the company's management bodies. Members of the collegial body should act and pass decisions without an outside influence from the persons who have elected it. Companies should ensure that the collegial body and its committees are provided with sufficient administrative and financial resources to discharge their duties, including the right to obtain, in particular from employees of the company, all the necessary information or to seek independent legal, accounting or any other advice on issues pertaining to the competence of the collegial body and its committees. When using the services of a consultant with a view to obtaining information on market standards for remuneration systems, the remuneration committee should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at the same time advice the human resources department, executive directors or collegial management organs of the company concerned. |
Yes | The Board is independent while adopting decisions which are significant for the activity and strategy of the Company. |
| 4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a manner that independent members of the collegial body could have major influence in relevant areas where chances of occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high. Such areas to be considered as highly relevant are issues of nomination of company's directors, determination of directors' remuneration and control and assessment of the company's audit. Therefore |
No | Due to simplicity of the Company's management structure and small number of employees, it is not expedient to form the Nomination and Remuneration committees. |
| when the mentioned issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish Nomination, Remuneration, and Audit Committees. Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to the Nomination, Remuneration, and Audit Committees are carried out. However they may decide to merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three different committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise small number of members, the functions assigned to the three committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition requirements advocated for the committees and that adequate information is provided in this respect. In such case provisions of this Code relating to the committees of the collegial body (in particular with respect to their role, operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a whole. |
|
|---|---|
| 4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase efficiency of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring that decisions are based on due consideration, and to help organize its work with a view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free of material conflicts of interest. Committees should exercise independent judgment and integrity when exercising its functions as well as present the collegial body with recommendations concerning the decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on creation of committees is not intended, in principle, to constrict the competence of the collegial body or to remove the matters considered from the purview of the collegial body itself, which remains fully responsible for the decisions taken in its field of competence. |
|
| 4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should normally be composed of at least three members. In companies with small number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally be composed of two members. Majority of the members of each committee should be constituted from independent members of the collegial body. In cases when the Company chooses not to set up a Supervisory Board, Remuneration and Audit Committees should be entirely comprised of non-executive directors. Chairmanship and membership of the committees should be decided with due regard to the need to ensure that committee membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is not placed on particular individuals. |
|
| 4.10. Authority of each of the committees should be determined by the collegial body. Committees should perform their duties in line with authority |
| delegated to them and inform the collegial body on their activities and performance on regular basis. Authority of every committee stipulating the role and rights and duties of the committee should be made public at least once a year (as part of the information disclosed by the company annually on its corporate governance structures and practices). Companies should also make public annually a statement by existing committees on their composition, number of meetings and attendance over the year, and their main activities. Audit Committee should confirm that it is satisfied with the independence of the audit process and describe briefly the actions it has taken to reach this conclusion. |
|
|---|---|
| 4.11. In order to ensure independence and impartiality of the committees, members of the collegial body that are not members of the committee should commonly have a right to participate in the meetings of the committee only if invited by the committee. A committee may invite or demand participation in the meeting of particular officers or experts. Chairman of each of the committees should have a possibility to maintain direct communication with the shareholders. Events when such are to be performed should be specified in the regulations for committee activities. |
