Notes to the financial statements

1 General information

AB INVL Baltic Real Estate (hereinafter the Company, previous name AB Invaldos Nekilnojamojo Turto Fondas, code 152105644) is a joint stock company registered in the Republic of Lithuania. It was established on 28 January 1997. On 17 August 2015 the parent entity AB INVL Baltic Real Estate (hereinafter the Former Parent Company, code 30329973) was merged to the Company, which continues its operations under the name INVL Baltic Real Estate. More details about the legal merger are provided in Note 6.

The Group consists of the Company and its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries and the Former Parent Company (hereinafter the Group, Note 5).

The address of the office is Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Group was established on 29 April 2014 by spinning-off from AB Invalda INVL (code 121304349) the investments into entities, which business is investment into investment properties held for future development, into commercial real estate and renting thereof. More details about the spin-off are disclosed in Note 7. On 17 August 2015 the Former Parent Company was merged to the Company. As a result of the Merger the Former Parent Company ceased to exist and the Company changed its name to AB INVL Baltic Real Estate and became the parent of the Group. The reorganisation, being the legal merger only, had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for reclassification within shareholders' equity lines to reflect the change of the parent enity that consolidates the Group. Accordingly, it had no impact on the Group's assets, liabilities and performance measurement (Note 6). Financial information that is and will be prepared by the Group for the periods after 17 August 2015 represents the continuation of the financial information prepared by the Group until 17 August 2015.

The comparative figures of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 cover period starting from 29 April 2014 and ending on 31 December 2014 in these financial statements. In the stand-alone financial statements comparative figures are disclosed for the Company, not for the Former Parent Company. The assets, liabilities, revenue, income and expenses of the Former Parent Company are included in the stand-alone financial statements from the date of the legal merger.

The Group has invested in commercial real estate: business centres and manufacturing and warehouse properties in Lithuania and Latvia. All the properties generate leasing income and most of them offer prospects for further development.

The Group seeks to earn profit from investments in commercial real estate by ensuring the growth of leasing income. When it makes business sense, the Company also considers investments in the reorganisation of its existing portfolio of properties, taking advantage of their good location.

As at 31 December 2015 the Company's share capital is divided into 43,226,252 ordinary registered shares with the nominal value of EUR 0.29 each. All the shares of the Company were fully paid. Subsidiaries did not hold any shares of the Company. As at 31 December 2014 the sole shareholder of the Company (33,265,440 ordinary registered shares with the nominal value of LTL 1 each) was the Former Parent Company. The shareholders of the Company as at 31 December 2015 are disclosed in the table below. As at 31 December 2015 and 2014 the shareholders were (by votes)*:

*One shareholder sold part of his shares under repo agreement (so did not hold the legal ownership title of shares), but he retained the voting rights of transferred shares.

1 General information (cont'd)

On the spin-off date the shareholders of the AB Invalda INVL – Mr. Alvydas Banys, UAB LJB Investments, Mrs. Irena Ona Mišeikienė, Ms. Indrė Mišeikytė, Mr. Darius Šulnis and UAB Lucrum investicija – had a joint control over AB Invalda INVL based on the agreement on the implementation of a long-term corporate governance policy. No agreement establishing joint control over the Group was signed after spin-off for the Former Parent Company, therefore there was no single controlling party as of 31 December 2014 and 2015.

The Company's shares are traded on the Baltic Secondary List of NASDAQ Vilnius from 16 September 2015. Before the merger the shares of the Former Parent Company were traded on the Baltic Secondary List of NASDAQ Vilnius from 4 June 2014 until 17 August 2015.

As at 31 December 2015 the number of employees of the Group and the Company was 4 and 2, respectively. 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.

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 2015 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 investment properties and investments in subsidiaries that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The comparative information of the previous year was recalculated using the official conversion ratio of litas to euro: 1 euro = 3.4528 litas.

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 2015:

– IFRIC 21 Levies effective 17 June 2014;

– Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2013 effective 1 January 2015.

None of the new amendment standards and interpetations had a material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective and have not been early adopted

Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. The Company measures investments in subsidiaries at fair value and currently has no intention to change measurement method.

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, except that the Group will have to disclose the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments in the financial statements:

  • − Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015);
  • − Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016);
  • − Amendments to IAS 19 Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015);
  • − Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016);
  • − Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation Operations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016);
  • − Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer plants (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016);
  • − Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016).

Standards not yet adopted by the EU

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)

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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.1 Basis of preparation (cont'd)

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

IFRS 9 (cont'd)

− Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on their financial statements.

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

The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements.

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

The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the standard on their financial statements, but are not expecting that impact would be material. The significant lease agreement, which would be affected by the new standard, will mature before the effective date of the standard.

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

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

Other amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are not yet adopted by the EU, are not relevant to the Group and the Company.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.2. Basis of consolidation

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

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

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.

2.3. 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. The comparative information of the previous year was recalculated using the official litas to euro conversion ratio: 1 euro = 3.4528 litas.

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

2.4. 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.

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.

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.

The Group and the acquiree may have a preexisting relationship or other arrangement before negotiations for the business combination began, or they may enter into an arrangement during the negotiations that is separate from the business combination. In either situation, the Group identifies any amounts that are not part of what the Group and the acquiree (or its former owners) exchanged in the business combination. The Group recognises as part of applying the acquisition method only the consideration transferred for the acquiree and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the exchange for the acquiree.

2.4 Business combinations and goodwill (cont'd)

The Group identifies any preexisting relationships to determine which ones have been effectively settled. Typically, a pre-existing relationship will be effectively settled, since such a relationship becomes an "intercompany" relationship upon the acquisition and is eliminated in the postcombination financial statements. If the preexisting relationship effectively settled is a debt financing issued by the acquiree to the Group, the Group effectively is settling a receivable. The Group recognises a gain or loss if there is an effective settlement of a preexisting relationship. When there is more than one contract or agreement between the parties with a preexisting relationship or more than one preexisting relationship, the settlement of each contract and each preexisting relationship is assessed separately. Settlement gains and losses from noncontractual relationships are measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

2.5. Business combinations under common control

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:

  • No assets or liabilities are restated to their fair values. Instead, the acquirer incorporates predecessor carrying values. These are the carrying values that are related to the acquired entity. They are generally the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the acquired entity from the consolidated financial statements of the highest entity that has common control for which consolidated financial statements are prepared. These amounts include any goodwill recorded at the consolidated level in respect of the acquired entity. This is because the transaction is under the control of that entity, and it is a portion of the controlling entity that is being moved around in the transaction. In some cases, the controlling party, that is, the party that controls both combining businesses, may not prepare consolidated financial statements. This can occur, for example, because it is not a parent company. In such situations, the book values used are those from the highest set of consolidated financial statements available. If no consolidated financial statements are produced, the values used are those from the financial statements of the acquired entity.
  • No new goodwill arises in predecessor accounting. The combining entities are looked at from the perspective of a transfer made by the controlling party. The transaction is not seen as an equal exchange of values and a change of control from the date of the business combination. No goodwill beyond that recorded by the controlling party in relation to the acquiree can therefore arise. Predecessor accounting may lead to differences on consolidation. For example, there may be a difference between the consideration given and the aggregate book value of the assets and liabilities (as of the date of the transaction) of the acquired entity. The differences are included in equity in retained earnings or in a separate reserve.

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.

The spin-off was accounted for as a reorganisation using the policies for business combinations under common control according to policies described above.

2.6. Accounting of the legal merger (the Company)

During the legal merger the Company recognises additional assets and liabilities received at their carrying values of the merged entity with the difference recognised directly in equity from the date on which the legal merger occurred. Comparative financial statements of the Company are not restated.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.7. 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. 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 3 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.

2.8. Investment properties

Properties that are held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation are classified as investment properties. Where the Group owns the buildings, but not the land on which they are built, land is leased from the municipality under operating lease. 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. The operating lease is accounted for as if it were a finance lease at the present value of the minimum lease payments with the exeption of future land rent tax payments to municipality that are effectively a replacement of land tax, paid by the owner of land.

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. The fair value of investment property is determined annually by qualified independent valuers (Note 16).

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.

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.

2.9. 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 their expected useful lives (3 – 5 years).

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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.10. Investments into subsidiaries (the Company)

Since the merger with Former Parent Company, investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries are classified as financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception, because:

  • they are managed together and their performance is evaluated on a combined fair value basis in accordance with the Company's documented investment strategy; and
  • information about the group is provided internally on combined basis to the Company's Board of Directors and Director.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'Net changes in fair value of investments into subsidiaries designated at fair value through profit or loss"' in the period in which they arise.

Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within dividend income when the Company's right to receive payments is established. Interest on loans granted at fair value through profit or loss is not recognised separately in the statement of comprehensive income, only fair value changes are recognised within gains or losses on fair value of loans granted.

When the fair value of investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries is determined (and unrecognised part of 'day 1 profit' is deducted), the value is split into legal components, i.e. between debt and equity instruments. If the amortised cost of loans granted to a subsidiary exceeds the total fair value of investment in that subsidiary, the fair value is fully attributed to loans. The remaining value is attributed to equity instruments of the subsidiary.

Investments in subsidiaries existing before merger are carried as investments available-for-sale. These investments are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value and exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated assets are sold or impaired.

Investments into subsidiaries in stand-alone financial statements of the Company in previous years were carried at cost, less impairment. The Company 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 and the fair value model was used by the Former Parent Company in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. The change in accounting policy had no impact to the carrying value of investments in subsidiaries, because the Company had only immaterial investment, which had only single asset – cash. Both the recoverable amount and the fair value of investments into subsidiary was lower than their initial acquisition cost.

2.11. Impairment of non-financial assets

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 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 profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in relation to goodwill are not reversed for subsequent increases in its recoverable amount.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.12. Financial assets

Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, 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. If the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, it is recognised at fair value and '1 day gain' is recognised only if that fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets. In all other cases the difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price is deferred. For loans granted measured at fair value through profit or loss this difference is recognised using the straight-line method over the estimated maturity of financial asset.

The Group and the Company determine the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Group transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Judgment is required in assessing whether a change in the contractual terms (such as a change in the remaining term of the loan) is substantial enough to represent an expiry of the original instrument (or a part thereof).

The Group's financial assets consist of loans and receivables. The Company's financial assets consist of loans and receivables, and of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (Note 2.10).

Loans and receivables

Financial assets recognised in the statement of financial position as loans granted, trade and other receivables, deposits and cash and cash equivalents are classified as 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 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.

2.13. Impairment of financial assets

Assets carried at amortised cost

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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.13 Impairment of financial assets (cont'd)

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.

2.14. 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. Deposits with original maturity of more than three months are classified as deposits on the statement of financial position.

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.

2.15. Financial liabilities

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

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company and the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 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 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.

2.16. Provisions

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.

Provisions for onerous contracts

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.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont'd)

2.17. 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 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.

2.18. Leases

Group and Company are the lessor in an operating lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group and the Company as the lessor 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 16). 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, including prepayments, (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. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

2.19. Revenue recognition

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

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

Utilities and other services income are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.

Interest income

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.

2.20. Segment reporting

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

2.21. Borrowing costs

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.

2.22. Current and deferred income tax

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 and in Latvia was 15 % in 2014 and 2015. Starting from 2010, tax losses can be transferred within Lithuania at no consideration or in exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.

Deferred income 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 in Lithuania 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. In Latvia gains from the sale of shares are not taxed, and losses are not deductible.

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

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.

2.23. 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.

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.

2.24. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale

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 of disposal unless the assets are investment properties measured at fair value or financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 in which case they are measured in accordance with those standards.

2.25. Significant accounting judgements and estimates

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

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

Judgements

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

Initial accounting of the assets received and liabilities assumed during spin-off

AB Invalda INVL management has made a judgement that the spin-off completed in 2014 as a result of which the Former Parent Company of the Group 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 spin-off shares were allocated proportionally to all shareholders of AB Invalda INVL and in the newly established entities, AB Invalda INVL was controlled according to the agreement by the same shareholders' group before and after the spin-off, therefore this exemption could be applied. Before and after the date of the spin-off the agreement on the implementation of a long-term corporate governance policy, signed by the majority shareholders of AB Invalda INVL, was valid for AB Invalda INVL. As a result 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 reorganisation under common control occurred. More details are described in Note 2.5

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

Investments in subsidiaries are designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition in the stand-alone financial statements of the Company, because the management believes that this presentation represents best the way these investments are managed and their performance is evaluated and provides more relevant information to the users of financial statements.

Judgements (cont'd)

The Group acts as principal in relation to utility services

The management has concluded that the Company acts as a principal in relation to utility services. The Company has latitude in establishing prices, earns a margin as well bears the customer's credit risk for the amounts receivable from the customer.

The Company as a reporting entity in the stand-alone financial statements

The management has chose that after the legal merger the continuing entity for reporting purposes in the stand-alone financial statements is the Company as it is under legal terms of the merger, but not the Former Parent Company. Therefore, in the standalone financial statements comparative figures are disclosed for the Company. The assets, liabilities, revenue, income and expenses of the Former Parent Company are included in the stand-alone financial statements from the date of the legal merger. The management concluded that this presentation will allow to provide more useful financial information.

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 investment properties in consolidated financial statements

Fair value of investment properties 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, location. 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 of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015 was EUR 51,747 thousand and EUR 43,200 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2014 – EUR 33,848 thousand and EUR 33,327 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 16).

Estimates and assumptions (cont'd)

Fair value of investments into subsidiaries in stand-alone financial statements

The fair values of investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to 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, including loans granted by the Company. The main assets of subsidiaries are investment properties, which are measured at fair value using the income approach. The main liabilities of subsidiaries are borrowings from 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 2015 was EUR 4,971 thousand (described in more details in Note 5).

The provision for onerous lease

The amount of provision for onerous lease represents the present value of future cash flows related to the lease contract. Future cash flows projections are based on the estimates of future rent income from subleased premises, contractual lease payments and estimates of maintenance and management expenses of leased premises. The estimates are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. When estimating the provision for onerous contract assumption is made that property will be leased out in the future as well, that is beyond the rental periods contracted with current tenants, therefore rent income to estimate provision is much higher than future rentals receivable disclosed in Note 10.

The provision for onerous lease was EUR 347 thousand as at 31 December 2015 (as at 31 December 2014 – EUR 365 thousand, (described in more details in Note 10). Was the future rent income assumed in the estimate to decrease by 10% from management's estimates, the carrying amount of onerous contract provision would be an estimated EUR 16 thousand higher as at 31 December 2015.

3 Financial risk management

3.1. Financial risk factors

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, 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 borrowings, trade and other payables. The main purpose of the borrowings 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.

3 Financial risk management (cont'd)

3.1 Financial risk factors (cont'd)

Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits, 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 19 and 20. The maximum exposure to credit risk for loans granted to subsidiaries measured at fair value through profit or loss are their carrying amounts (Note 5). There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania and Latvia.

The Group has an agreement with external entity, which provides property management services to the Group in Lithuania. The rent income and related revenues from the Group's owned properties in Lithuania, except newly acquired investment property located at Gynėjų str. 14 and three tenants in other 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 50% and 81% of the total Group's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2015 and 2014, respectively. This third party accounts for approximately 51% and 82% of the total Company's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2015 and 2014, respectively.

With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and deposits 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.

According to the provisions of the borrowing agreement deposit is placed on the ABLV Bank, AS in Latvia (Note 23), which is not rated.

The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the banks:

Group Company
2015 2014 2015 2014
Moody's short-term ratings
Prime-1 130 140 124 93

3.1 Financial risk factors (cont'd)

Market risk

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the debt obligations with floating interest rates. The borrowings from related party AB Invalda INVL are with fixed interest rates for one year.

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 and the Company's profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group's and the Company's equity other than current year profit impact.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group and the Company holds assets and liabilities denominated only in the Euro, which is functional and presentation currency of the Group. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

3 Financial risk management (cont'd)

3.1 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's operation in Lithuania and the Company is controlled on an overall Group level. The liquidity risk of the Group's operation in Latvia is controlled on an entity 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's liquidity ratio (total current assets including assets held for sale / total current liabilities) as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 was approximately 0.2 and 0.5, respectively. The Company's liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2015 and 2014 was approximately 0.2 and 1.28.

Provision for onerous contract is disclosed in the tables above, because it is a financial liability arising from the unavoidable cost of meeting the obligation of contract. The amounts disclosed are undiscounted future loss amounts used to calculate provision.

As at 31 December 2015 the current assets including assets held for sale were lower than current liabilities by EUR 6,724 thousand in the Group and EUR 6,736 thousand in the Company. Management of the Group and the Company forecasted the cash flows of the Group and the Company for 2016 and the forecast indicates that the Group and the Company will have sufficient funds to cover liabilities, which fall due in 2016. In January 2016 the Group and the Company have financed the acquisition of investment property located at Gynėjų str. 14, Vilnius through additional bank borrowing and loan from the related party AB Invalda INVL. The Group and the Company had also prolonged maturity date of borrowing from AB Šiaulių bankas and repayment schedule was changed. In addition, in March 2016 the Group and the Company have completed new shares' issue in the amount of EUR 9,010 thousand. More details about all these events are provided in Note 25. As at 31 December 2015 the Group and the Company had borrowings of EUR 6,862 thousand from related party AB Invalda INVL. Amendments to borrowings agreements signed in 2016 allowed subordinated borrowings to be settled by either offsetting them against amounts due for new subscribed shares or by repaying the debt in cash from new share issue proceeds. The Company has used this right (Note 25).

3.2. Capital management

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.

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 complied with this requirement as at 31 December 2015 and 2014, except for one dormant subsidiary in 2014 and two dormant subsidiaries in 2015. There are no plans yet to rectify the situation Lithuania. Pursuant to the Latvian Commercial Law the authorised share capital of a private limited liability company must be not less than EUR 2,800. As of 31 December 2015, all Latvian subsidiaries complied with this requirement.

The Company had right to pay dividends only with bank's written consent. In January 2016 the borrowing agreement was changed. Starting from 2016 the Company has the right to pay dividends without bank consent if the ratio of EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) divided by the sum of debt service costs (interest and principal repayments) and dividends would be higher than 1.1. The Company has also the right to use cash inflows from the new shares' issue to pay dividends for the year of 2015 regardless of the above mentioned ratio. In addition, on 15 January 2016 the Company has approved dividend policy which stipulates the payment of dividends per share of no less than EUR 0.012 each year, if the legal and contractual requirements do not restrict this.

4 Fair value estimation

Assets carried at fair value

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 2015.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total balance
Assets of the Group

There were no transfers of assets between the Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during 2014 and 2015, but there were transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 in 2014 (Note 16) in the Group.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group's and the Company's statements of financial position.

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, deposits, trade and other receivables, loans granted to parties other than subsidiaries, trade and other payables, non-current and current borrowings, provision for onerous contract.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, deposits, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015 and 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 EUR 1,328 thousand and EUR 4,138 thousand as at 31 December 2014, respectively (their carrying amount – EUR 1,328 thousand and EUR 4,106 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 2015 and 2014 approximated their fair value. Bank borrowings have floating interest rate and were renegotiated recently, therefore their interest rate represents the current market rate. The interest rates of borrowings from related party are reviewed at the end of each financial year and adjusted in line with market rates changes, therefore it was concluded that their fair value approximates carrying amount.The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current interest rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

All subsidiary undertakings listed in the tables above are included in the consolidation.

The Company also owned 100% of the shares of UAB INTF Investicija as at 31 December 2014. 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 was not consolidated by the Group. Through the appointment of bankruptcy administrator changes to decision-making rights occurred and it meant that the relevant activities were no longer directed through voting rights the Group had, but instead gave bankruptcy administrator the ability to direct the relevant activities. The investment in UAB INTF Investicija was impaired to nil in the financial statements of the Company and not consolidated in the financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2014.

On 23 April 2015 the Company has signed agreement concerning the sale of 100 percent of the shares of UAB INTF Investicija. The sale of the shares was completed on 19 August 2015. The Company has received EUR 366 thousand for the shares (Note 11). The Company has also a right to receive contingent consideration which is determined as 50 percent of the deferred tax assets value arising from entity's tax losses accumulated until the end of 2014 (up to EUR 158 thousand). The buyer would pay only for actually used tax losses. The Company has not recognised this amount as income, because according to the management the sold entity is not expected to earn taxable profit in the foreseeable future.

5 Investments into subsidiaries and joint venture (cont'd)

In 2014 and 2015 the Company had no right to pay dividends without bank's written consent according to borrowings agreements and the shares of the Company were pledged to the banks as collateral for the borrowing (changes in the restrictions are disclosed in Note 25). The subsidiary SIA Dommo Bizness parks has no right to pay dividends without bank's written consent according to borrowings agreements. The bank shall give its consent to pay dividends if subsidiary's ability to repay borrowing is not degraded consequently and the subsidiary performs its obligation under borrowings agreement as at the moment of giving the said consent. The loans granted (including accumulated interest) to SIA Dommo Grupa and SIA Dommo Bizness parks are subordinated to bank borrowing and could be repaid only upon maturity of bank borrowing in 2020.

Fair value of investments into susidiaries

Investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss in the Company's stand-alone financial statements in 2015. It is Level 3 fair value measurement. The fair value of investments is measured at the fair value of their net assets including loans granted by the Company. The main assets of dormant entities are cash. The main assets of active subsidiaries are investment properties, which are measured at fair value using the income approach. The main liabilities of subsidiaries are borrowings from external financial institutions, which are measured using an income approach, such as a present value technique.

The split of carrying amounts of the investment into subsidiaries by legal components is as follows:

2015
Shares 162
Loans granted 4,809
4,971

Key inputs to valuation on subsidiaries as at 31 December 2015:

Significant unobservable inputs Value of input or range
Sales price EUR per sq. m. (with VAT) 1,800
Cost to completion EUR per sq. m (without VAT) 860
Profit on cost ratio of the entire project (%) 20
Discount rate (%) 11
Capitalisation rate for terminal value (%) 9
Vacancy rate (%) 5 (30 in first year and 10 in
fourth year)
Increase of rents per year (%) 2.5

The sensitivity analysis of fair value of subsidiaries as at 31 December 2015 is as follows:

Reasonable possible shift +/- (%) Increase of estimates Decrease of estimates

During the merger investments into subsidiaries together with loans granted to them were transferred to the Company (Note 6). The main part of these investments loans granted to Latvian entities. 50% of these loans were acquired by the Former Parent Company at a price below their estimated fair value which was measured as 50% of fair value of net assets of subsidiaries, over which control was obtain by the Former Parent Company (Note 8). On the acquisition day, the difference amounted to EUR 1,014 thousand. As the fair value was not determined based on observable inputs, this '1 day profit' was not recognised immediately but is deferred and is recognised during the estimated maturity of the loans. During 2015 the Company has recognised EUR 102 thousand of this '1 day profit' within 'Net changes in fair value of investment into subsidiaries designated at fair value through profit or loss' in the statement of comprehensive income. As at 31 December 2015 unrecognised part of '1day profit' is EUR 912 thousand. Therefore, the total fair value of loans granted by the Company was EUR 5,721 thousand as at 31 December 2015 (their carrying amount – EUR 4,809 thousand). It is Level 3 meaurement.

Joint venture

As at 31 December 2014 the Group had an option to acquire 50 % of shares of SIA Dommo Grupa for a nominal amount. In addition, the Group owned 50 % of the rights to cash flows to SIA Dommo Grupa according to loan agreements. As in December 2014 the bankruptcy proceedings of SIA Dommo Grupa were completed, the option represents substantive potential voting rights providing the Group joint control over the entity. Therefore, Latvian Dommo Group was a joint venture as at 31 December 2014. The fair value of investment into joint venture was nil as at 31 December 2014. In 2015 the Group took control over SIA Dommo Grupa and its subsidiaries (described more details in Note 8).

6 Merger of the Former Parent Company and the Company

On 10 August 2015 the Shareholder Meetings of the Former Parent Company and of the Company have approved that the Former Parent Company is merged with the Company being the wholy owned subsidiary of the Former Parent Company. The merger was completed on 17 August 2015. After the merger process the Company continues its operations under the name INVL Baltic Real Estate and from 16 September 2015 is listed on NASDAQ OMX Vilnius stock exchange. Shareholders of the Former Parent Company received 6.136287941 shares of the Company in exchange for every ordinary share they had before the merger. During the merger, new 43,226,252 shares at the total par value of EUR 12,536 thousand, were issued by the Company in exchange for the 7,044,365 shares of the Former Parent Company, simultaneously cancelling the old 33,265,440 shares of the Company with the par value of EUR 0.29 each. The Board and manager of the Company are the same as of the Former Parent Company.

The Group

The merger between the parent and fully owned subsidiary has not changed the composition of the Group. Thus the legal merger had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for reclassification within shareholders' equity lines to reflect the change of the parent enity that consolidates the Group. Accordingly, it had no impact on the Group's assets, liabilities and performance measurement. The table below presents the merger effect on the shareholders equity of the Group:

7 Spin-off

On 21 March 2014 the spin-off terms of AB Invalda INVL (code 121304349) were announced. The Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting approved the terms of the Company's spin-off on 28 April 2014. The Spin-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 INVL total assets measured at carrying amounts, were spin-off from AB Invalda INVL. Following the spin-off, 30.90% of the assets, equity and liabilities were transferred to the Former Parent Company.

The Company

The spin-off had an impact on the Former Parent Company as it was formed during the spin-off. These stand-alone financial statements reflected continuity of the Company, not the Former Parent Company, therofore, the spin-off had no impact on these stand-alone financial statements.

The Group

To account for the reorganisation, the group applied predecessor values method (Note 2.5). No assets or liabilities were restated to their fair values. Instead, the Group incorporated predecessor carrying values.

Transferred net assets as at 29 April 2014 to the Group were as follows:

Intangible assets 160
Property, plant and equipment 8
Investment properties 33,806
Operating lease pre-payments 825

8 Acquisition of Latvian entities

The Group

As at 31 December 2014 the Group owned 50 percent of all the claims of creditors towards the Latvian entities SIA Dommo Grupa and its 100% subsidiary SIA Dommo Biznesa Parks. As the receivables are impaired and their recoverable amounts were considerably below their nominal amounts, the receivables, in substance, entitled the Group to 50% of rights to cash flows generated by these enitities. Also, the Group had an option to acquire 50 % of shares of SIA Dommo Grupa for a nominal amount. As in December 2014 the bankruptcy proceedings of SIA Dommo Grupa were completed, the option represents substantive potential voting rights providing the Group joint control over the entity. Therefore, Latvian Dommo Group was a joint venture as at 31 December 2014.

In May 2015 the Group exercised the option and acquired the legal title of 50% of SIA Dommo Grupa shares. On 9 April 2015 the Group signed agreements with UAB MG Valda and its related entities for the acquisition of remaining 50% shares and impaired loans to increase the economic interest into these Latvian entities from 50 to 100 percent for the consideration of EUR 3,059 thousand. The consideration was paid in April and July, and control over the shares and receivables was transferred on 2 July 2015. From this date the Group owns 100 percent of the shares of SIA Dommo Grupa and has control over that entity and its 100% subsidiary SIA Dommo Biznesa parks.

As a part of the business combination, the Group derecognised its receivables from Dommo Grupa and its subsidiary, in the amount of EUR 4,158 thousand. The fair value of the receivables at the date of transaction was determined to be EUR 4,073 thousand; thus the Group recognised a loss from settlement of previously existing relationship in the amount of EUR 85 thousand (Note 11).

The Latvian entities own about 12,800 square meters of warehouse space and over 58 hectares of land around Riga, suitable for the development of logistics hub.

The assets and liabilities recognised as a result of the acquisition are as follows:

Fair values
Investment properties 8,027
Property, plant and equipment 2
Trade and other receivables 2
Other current assets 1
Cash and cash equivalents 232
Total assets 8,264
Current liabilities excluding the Group's loans to Latvian entities (118)
Total liabilities (118)
Total identifiable net assets 8,146
Cash paid (3,059)
Fair value of previously granted loans – settlement of pre-existing relationship (4,073)
Total purchase consideration (7,132)
Gain on a bargain purchase (Note 11) 1,014

The transaction resulted in a gain because investment into commercial real estate in Latvia was no longer among strategic objectives of the previous owner of Latvian entities and quick exit could have been exercised only by selling shares and receivables to the other shareholder having 50% interest, i.e. the Group.

The valuation of investment properties is described in Note 16.

The acquired business contributed EUR 288 thousand of revenue and EUR 184 thousand of profit to the Group for the period from 1 July to 31 December 2015. If the acquisition of Latvian entities had occurred on 1 January 2015, the consolidated revenue and net profit would have been EUR 5,984 thousand and EUR 4,127 thousand respectively for the year ended on 31 December 2015.

8 Acquisition of Latvian entities (cont'd)

The Company

The loans granted to Latvian entities and an option to acquire 50 % of shares were held as well as remaining 50% of all the claims of creditors were acquired by the Former Parent Company before the merger. Therefore, this transaction was recognised in the accounting records of the Former Parent Company and only the balances were transferred to the Company during the merger (Note 6).

9 Segment information

Management of the Company has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. The Board of Directors analyses performance of the Group on property-by-property basis of owned premises, while leased premises are reported on a combined basis. Performance is evaluated based on triple net profit. Triple net profit is calculated by deducting from revenue premises rent costs (excluding provision for onerous contract), utilities expenses, repair and maintenance expenses, property management and brokerage costs, taxes on property and insurance costs. Segment assets and liabilities are not reported to the Board of Directors. Management of the Company has determined following reportable segments:

  • Owned property in Lithuania. All owned premises are located in Vilnius, Lithuania. These are office buildings with some warehouse premises. Most of them have further development opportunities.
  • Leasehold property. They are located in Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania. These are office buildings and warehouses.
  • Owned property in Latvia. Revenue is earned from warehouse located in Riga, Latvia. The segment was acquired in 2015.

15 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Weighted average number of ordinary shares was 43,226 thousand. There were new shares issued of the Company after merger (Note 6). Before the merger the Former Parent Company had 7,044 thousand of shares in issue. The issue of the shares during the merger process is considered as shares' split, therefore for basic earnings per share calculation closing shares' quantities are used for 2014 and 2015. There were no other share movements in the Group.

The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic earnings per share computations:

Group
2015 2014
Net profit (loss), attributable to the equity holders of the parent 4,096 432
Weighted average number of ordinary shares (thousand) 43,226 43,226
Basic earnings (deficit) per share (EUR) 0.09 0.01

For 2014 and 2015 diluted earnings per share of the Group are the same as basic earnings per share.

During 2015 the Group has acquired investment properties during business combination in Latvia (EUR 8,027 thousand, note 8).

On 1 October 2015 the Company acquired 6,400 square metres of commercial premises including 0.26 hectare of land and 1,683 square metres of parking area in Vilnius Gynėjų str. 14. The ownership was transferred on 1 October 2015. In 4th Quarter of 2015 the Company received permission to install windows in a part of the premises and approximately additional 300 square meters of common space was assigned to the premises acquired. According to the agreements the Company has to pay for all these premises EUR 7,523 thousand excluding VAT (VAT payable was EUR 1,528 thousand). Until 31 December 2015 the Company has paid EUR 2,032 thousand including VAT (EUR 1,905 thousand without VAT). The debt assignment agreement in the amount of EUR 1,398 thousand was signed, whereby the seller's debt to the State Tax Inspectorate of Lithuania was assigned to the Company. The State Tax Inspectorate of Lithuania has provided its consent for the conclusion of the above transaction. The Company has offset the amount of EUR 1,398 thousand payable for premises with its VAT receivable. As at 31 December 2015 the remaining amount payable based on these agreements was EUR 5,621 thousand. The settlement of the liability occurred in 2016 (Note 25). There was also a possibility foreseen in the agreement to obtain ownership of additional 11 parking spaces, paying for them EUR 275 thousand. This is not executed yet and the amount will be payable after fulfilment thereof.

Moreover, before the purchase of these premises the Group had signed a rental agreement for part of the premises in June 2015. The space had to be reconstructed in order to adapt it to the needs of the Group. Reconstruction expenses of EUR 669 thousand incurred before the acquisition of premises were added to the acquisition cost of the premises. The acquisition cost also included EUR 12 thousand of notary fees.

16 Investment properties (cont'd)

Also the Company has additionally invested EUR 205 thousand into investment property located at Žygio str. 97, Vilnius, where the new building foundation was laid. The Company has signed preliminary agreement, according to which the constructed building foundation with leased land attributed to it would be sold for EUR 500 thousand plus the cost of building foundation. The deal will be completed in 2016, therefore this part of investment property is measured according to the disposal price and was classified as noncurrent assets held-for-sale as at 31 December 2015.

During 2015 and 2014 the Group and the Company have not sold any investment property.

Investment properties are measured at fair value. Properties leased out by the entity and investment properties held for future redevelopment in Lithuania were valued using income approach by accredited valuer UAB OBER-HAUS Nekilnojamasis Turtas as at 31 December 2014 on 21 November, 8 December and 31 December 2014 and as at 31 December 2015 on 23 October – 4 November 2015. Investment properties located in Latvia were valued using market approach for land and using income approach for warehouse by accredited valuer SIA OBER-HAUS Vertešanas serviss in October 2015 as of the date of business combination. There were no significant changes in the market during second half year of 2015 that could have an effect on the value of those investment properties, therefore the updated valuation was not performed as at 31 December 2015.

As at 29 April 2014 the fair value of the properties leased out by the entity 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, location 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 properties leased out by the entity 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):

  • Sales prices based on the valuers' experience and knowledge of market conditions of residential and commercial properties;

  • 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 were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period;

  • Profit on cost ratio reflecting current market assessment of profitability margin of developments projects. It is based on the internal rate of returns for similar projects.

Loans to Latvian entities

As at 31 December 2014 the Group owned 50 % of all the claims of creditors towards the Latvian entities SIA Dommo Grupa and SIA Dommo Biznesa Parks according to loans agreements. Due to economic crisis in 2008 these entities were in the process of bankruptcy. At the end of 2014 and in the beginning of 2015 bankruptcy processes were terminated. The loan granted to SIA Dommo Biznesa Parks was acquired in 2013 by AB Invalda INVL from the bank at a significant discount and was secured by the pledge of investment property owned by the debtor. The loans granted to SIA Dommo Grupa were granted by AB Invalda INVL in 2007 – 2008. Both loans, with the total gross carrying amount of EUR 6,262 thousand, were considered impaired as of 31 December 2014 due to significant delay in payments compared to the contractual payment schedule.

In 2015 the Group acquired remaining 50% of all the claims to Dommo Group and acquired 100% of its shares. Therefore, the entities became subsidiaries and the loans granted were derecognised in the consolidated financial statements (described more details in Note 8).

After the acquisition of remaining loans granted to Latvian entities, in July 2015 Dommo Group received a new bank borrowing with maturity of 5 years and the loans granted and acquired by the Group were subordinated to the bank borrowing. As a result, the estimated future cash flows of the previously existing loans had changed significantly. Therefore, these previously existing loans were derecognised and new loans granted were recognised at fair value in the financial statements of the Former Parent Company. As a consequence the loss of EUR 85 thousand was recognised in profit or loss of the Former Parent Company and subsequently impacted the amount recognised by the Company in its equity as a result of the merger. In the Company's financial statements the loans granted to Latvian entities are measured at fair value as part of investment into subsidiaries designated at fair value through profit or loss (Note 5).

The Group recognised EUR 101 thousand and EUR 135 thousand interest income on impaired loans for the year ended 31 December 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Loans to entity in bankruptcy

The Group has received during spin-off the loan granted to previous subsidiary of AB Invalda INVL (the loan was granted by the Company in 2009-2012), for which bankruptcy was initiated by the court in May 2014. The loan was impaired and fully provided for by AB Invalda INVL before the spin-off. In December 2015 agreement regarding sale of this impaired loan was signed (described more details in Note 21).

19 Loans granted (cont'd)

As at 31 December 2014 impairment loss was recognised for the Group's and the Company's loans granted with gross carrying amount of EUR 5,097 thousand and EUR 1,115 thousand, respectively. The net amounts of these loans of EUR 1,777 thousand and nil are recognised in the statement of financial position of the Group and the Company, respectively.

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

14. Overview of the Issuer and its group activity

14.1. Operational environment

According to the real estate market report for 2015 prepared by Inreal, UAB, Vilnius stood out in the segment of business centres – five new business centres were opened: Premium, One, Sostena BC, k29, UNIQ. They have supplied the market of modern offices in Vilnius by approx. 37,600 sq.m GLA.

Despite the impressive development of business centres in Vilnius, the overall rate of vacancies decreased from 4.3 percent at the end of 2014 to 3.4 percent at the end of 2015. Lease prices in the largest cities have remained stable in 2015 as Vilnius market satisfies the growing demand by newly developed business centres, and modern office rental market in Kaunas and Klaipeda is not very active.

In 2016, at least 4 new modern business centres will be offered for Vilnius market; they will supply the market with approx. 66,900 sq.m GLA. In early 2017, the market will also be supplied with another 4 business centres, which will offer 47,500 sq.m GLA.

The expectations of warehousing lease segment deteriorated at the end of 2015. The situation remains changeable due to geopolitical tensions between Russia and Western countries. Vilnius has maintained a stable level of vacant premises only, despite the fact that two new logistics centres, which added 14,000 sq.m GLA, were opened in Vilnius in 2015. Vacancy rates in Kaunas and Klaipėda have become worse. There were about 6,330 sq.m of modern warehousing premises vacated in the logistics centre Kaunas Terminal, which is located in the free economic area. Several modern logistics centres offered vacant premises in Klaipėda market. Taking into account the fact that 2 modern logistics centres were being built in Klaipėda and they will supply the market with up to 29,000 sq.m GLA, i.e. up to 24 percent of the entire supply of logistics centres in Klaipėda, it can be expected that the vacancy rate will also be higher in 2016 than in 2015. This, in turn, will increase the pressure on warehouse lessees and impede the expansion of logistics centres.

During 2015 the logistic centres market of Latvia added approx. 110,000 sq.m. GLA. This is the largest space increase since 2009. By the end of 2015, a number of projects were under construction with total volume close to 30,500 sq.m. GLA, most of which were speculative premises and a total of 84,500 sq.m. GLA were at the planning stage in a number of potential properties. The overall rate of vacancies increased from 2.2 percent at the end of 2014 to 5.1 percent at the end of 2015. During 2015, rent rates in industrial premises remained unchanged and for A class industrial premises (located near Riga) stood at 3.5 – 4.5 EUR/sq.m. per month.

17. A description of the principal risks and uncertainties

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.

Risk factors, associated with activities of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Real Estate

Potential fluctuations of the value of investment property

The value of the investment in real estate may 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 for the Issuer.

The recent global sovereign debt crisis could result in higher borrowing costs and more limited availability of credit

Due to on-going recession and financial disturbance in Europe the availability of capital can be limited and therefore the cost of borrowing can increase. Poor economic situation in Greece, Spain, Cyprus and other EU member states might further negatively affect the commercial situation of many banks operating in Europe. In addition, the risk of lower consumer confidence can have an adverse impact on financial markets and economic conditions in the EU and throughout the world and, in turn, the market's anticipation or reflection of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on the Group's

business in a variety of ways:

  • difficulty or inability to acquire capital for further Group's acquisitions and to cover financial obligations of current debt;
  • increased risk of weak financial condition of the Group's debtors resulting from current economic situation, etc.

Macroeconomic environment

Real estate development tends to follow the general developments in the macroeconomic environment. Interest rates, unemployment, inflation, private consumption, capital expenditure and other macroeconomic indicators have significant influence on real estate developments and hence the operations and the potential profitability of the Group.

Favourable developments in the macroeconomic environment increase demand for real properties, allow the real estate companies to increase rent rates of properties and other prices related to activities of the Group. Adverse developments increase pressure on real estate prices, rent rates and yields. Hence the Group's results are dependent on general macroeconomic environment and adverse developments in the environment might lead to reconsideration of some of the Group's development plans, negative pressure on prices and rents of the Group's properties or other changes in relation to the Group's properties that might have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and profitability.

Eurozone risk

Recent turmoil related to some of the Eurozone economies may affect the Group's operating environment, either directly or indirectly through common currency and monetary policy changes. Prolonged and deep national budget deficits of certain Eurozone countries may adversely impact all the area's attractiveness. Full or partial collapse of the Eurozone might have a material impact on the Group's business.

Cyclicality of the real estate sector

Real estate development is a cyclical sector. The number of real estate related transactions fluctuates significantly depending on the stage of the real estate cycle. Cyclicality in the Baltic countries has been relatively high lately as a fast growth in prices fuelled by availability of cheap financing was followed by a steep decline as a result of financial crisis. In the future the Baltic real estate market might regain the lost momentum, again inflating the price levels, which might be followed by overheating of the market and downward pressure on the prices, thus, starting the next real estate cycle.

Risks relating to doing business in the Baltic States

Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian markets as emerging markets are subject to greater risks than more mature markets, including legal, economic and political risks. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have experienced significant political, legal and economic changes and liberalization during the last two decades of transition from the planned economy to a market economy.

For the purposes of accession to the EU, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia implemented significant social and economic changes, as well as reforms of their legal and regulatory framework. As a result, the volume of Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian legislation and other regulations has increased and is expected to increase further pursuant to the obligation to apply European Community law.

Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian civil codes and corporate, competition, securities, environmental and other laws have been substantially revised during the last two decades as part of Lithuania's, Latvia's and Estonia's transition to a market economy and to meet EU requirements and standards. The new legislation remains in part largely untested in courts and no clear administrative or judicial practice has evolved.

Competition

The Group is operating in a competitive environment with high number of other companies engaged in the real estate development in the Baltic States. Even though market downturn in 2008-2010 has somewhat decreased the competitive pressure, there are still some relatively well capitalized competitors who can pursue development projects (i.e. to commence constructing and to proceed with the announced projects, as well as to implement new projects) that might compete with the Group's developments.

Recent increase in real estate market activity and improved availability of financing has had a positive effect on some of the Group's competitors who have started the development of some of the new projects in their portfolios. Recent pick-up in market activity has also increased the interest of some of the international investors in the Baltic real estate increasing the risk that some of the competitive projects will obtain the necessary funding. Sales of seized recently developed properties by some of the commercial banks in the Baltic States might also compete with the Group's developments.

Profitability of the Group's future developments and new acquisitions can be significantly impacted by increase of renovation and construction costs if competitors will pursue their developments. Additionally, if competitors will commence intended and announced projects the competition for tenants and marketing related costs will also increase. All of the above aspects related to the competitive landscape of the Group's industry might have an adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and profitability.

Changes in customer preferences

Real estate sub-markets where the Group is operating in (commercial real estate) are subject to changing customer trends, demands and preferences. In particular, customer trends, demands and preferences may vary depending on economic factors, as well as customer preferences for the style of developments. The Group reassesses different risks, including potential changes in customer preferences, at different phases of a project. Should the Group find changes in customer preferences or other potential threats to the profitability of a project, the Group tries to adjust the project outline to meet the changed market expectations. However, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to recognise such changes and adapt its existing developments or planned developments in timely fashion to suit such changes in customer preferences. If customer preferences in the markets where the Group operates cease to favour the Group's developments, this could have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Group.

Inflation

The upcoming years may entail considerable inflation. Relevant expenses of the Group, e.g., repair & maintenance and administrative services that are being outsourced to third party companies, are closely related to the general price level. Growing inflation may prevent the businesses from changing the rental prices respectively to preserve the existing profit margin or may even lead to losses. Thus, the Group's expenditures would increase considerably due to inflation and the Issuer would have to cover its increased costs from internal resources, unless it manages to increase rent prices. Thus, strong inflation may have a considerable adverse influence on the Group's financial situation and business results.

Increase of salaries

The Group is dependent on administrative services which are labour cost sensitive. Though workforce is cheaper in Lithuania and in Latvia than in western EU Member States, the difference should decrease constantly as the Lithuanian and Latvian economies are catching up with the average of the EU. Willing to remain competitive and retain its relations with administrators, contractors and other third parties the Issuer may be forced to increase its expenses on administrative services at a faster pace than it used to do previously. If the Issuer fails to retain healthy relations with third party service providers by increasing these costs, this may have a considerable adverse effect on the Issuer's financial situation and business results.

Catastrophic events, terrorist attacks, acts of war, hostilities, riots, civil unrest, pandemic diseases and other unpredictable events may materially adversely affect the Group

Catastrophic events, terrorist attacks, acts of war or hostilities, riots, civil unrest, pandemic diseases and other similarly unpredictable events, and responses to those events or acts, may reduce the number of workable days and therefore prevent the Group, its employees and service companies from being able to provide services to its customers.

Those events and acts may also create economic and political uncertainties which may have an adverse effect on the economic conditions. Such events and acts are difficult to predict and may also affect employees, property manager and other service companies. If the Group's business continuity plans do not fully address such events or cannot be implemented under the circumstances, it may incur losses. Unforeseen events can also lead to lower revenue or additional operating costs, such as fixed employee costs not recovered by revenue due to inability to deliver services, higher insurance premiums and the implementation of redundant back-up systems. Insurance coverage for certain unforeseeable risks may also be unavailable. A materialisation of these risks may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation or financial condition.

Risk Factors Characteristic of the Group

Dependence on external financing

The Group's cash inflows currently are sufficient to finance operating cash outflows and to pay monthly instalments of repayments and interests payments of bank borrowings. However, further development of the Group's activities will require substantial amounts of capital to fund capital expenditures. For this reason, failure to secure adequate levels of external financing might limit the Group's growth plans and place it at competitive disadvantage as compared to well-capitalized peers. The Company is currently dependant on funding its working capital and property acquisitions by one of its Major Shareholders Invalda INVL AB and commercial banks. Failure to obtain external financing may lead to forced sale of assets at unfavourable prices or even cause insolvency which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operation or financial condition and may destroy the shareholders' value.

Transactions with related parties

There are quite a few transactions with related parties. Detailed information about such transactions is presented in Note 24 Related Party Transactions of annual financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2015. Following applicable taxation legislation, transactions with related parties must be conducted at arm's length. In spite of the fact that the Company's Management uses all efforts in order to ensure the conformity with the above-mentioned standard, a theoretical taxation risk remains here, i.e. the risk that applicable taxes will be calculated according to prices applicable at arm's length in case it is determined that certain transactions were conducted disregarding this principle, also the risk that relevant fines and default interest will be imposed. Besides, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries have approved their transfer pricing policy.

The Group is exposed to various risks due to long duration of real estate development projects

The core business of the Group is to ensure steady return from the current portfolio of assets. However, in order to achieve that the Group has to work on real estate development projects. The process of real estate development from the identification of the potential project to the disposal of the developed property usually lasts several years. Accordingly, the Group's acquisition and development activities are subject to significant risks of non-completion and loss due to:

  • changing market conditions, which may result in diminished opportunities for acquiring desired properties, higher than expected development costs, lower than expected rental rates and lower than expected disposal prices;
  • competition from other market participants, which may diminish the Group's opportunities for acquiring desired properties on favourable terms or at all;
  • the Group's inability to acquire land at commercially acceptable terms or obtain detailed planning, including construction rights to the acquired land;
  • budget overruns and completion delays;
  • the Group's potential inability to obtain financing on favourable terms or at all for individual projects or in the context of multiple projects being developed at the same time;
  • failure to meet the covenants in financing agreements, which may result in the lenders accelerating the repayments of loans under cross-default provisions;
  • defects in the legal title to land acquired by the Group, or defects in approvals or other authorisations relating to land held by the Group;
  • defects in acquired or developed properties, including latent defects in construction work that may not reveal themselves until many years after the Group has put a property in service and potential environmental damages;
  • potential significant amendments to the existing governmental rules and regulations or fiscal or monetary policies or introducing of a new governmental rules and regulations or fiscal or monetary policies applicable to the Group's existing and future operations;
  • potential liabilities relating to the acquired land (incl. for example obligation to make certain investments and potential environmental damages), properties or entities owning properties for which the Group may have limited or no recourse;
  • property appraisers use assumptions, which are not stable and subject to changing market conditions which leads to fluctuations in property values.

Although many of these risks are beyond the control of the Group, any negative change in one or more of the factors listed above could adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Group.

Dependence on small number of large projects

A small number of large projects in or near the capital cities of Lithuania and Latvia form substantially all of the Group's development business. Concentration of large projects may increase the volatility of the Group's results and increase its exposure to risks attaching to individual projects. Larger projects may also lead to proportionally larger cost overruns, which may negatively affect the Group's operating margins. Geographic focus on capital cities of Lithuania and Latvia makes the Group vulnerable in case of a downturn in the property market in any of those cities.

Management believes that relatively few major projects in a limited number of geographic locations will continue representing a major part of the Group's business in the foreseeable future. If the Group fails to achieve the expected margins or suffers losses on one or more of these large projects or if the property markets significantly deteriorate in Riga or Vilnius, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's results of operations or financial condition.

Inaccuracy of the forecasts

The Group's profitability partly depends on its ability to forecast market prices, rents, property related costs, anticipated working capital needs, availability of financing, property values, etc. In connection with the Group's acquisition of property for its development business, the Group bases the purchase prices it agrees for the property in part on projections of development costs, property values at the time of sale, future market rents, availability of financing and anticipated working capital etc. If the Group's projections are inaccurate, it could experience lower profits, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

Lack of insurance cover and specific reserves for indemnifying damages

The properties belonging to the Group could suffer physical damage caused by natural disasters, fire or other causes, resulting in losses which may be not fully compensated by insurance. The Group has obtained insurance coverage for its properties, which it believes to be in line with standard industry practice. The insurance covers, for example, losses and liability resulting from fire, break-in, diffusion, robbery, vandalism, pipe leakages, lightning, explosion, implementation of the extinguishing system storm, etc.

However, liability insurance aimed to cover damage caused to third parties is only some of the Group Subsidiaries' insurance policies. A number of the Subsidiaries have valid business interruption insurance. However, insurance coverage is subject to limits and limitations and some risks (e.g. certain natural disasters and terrorist acts) are not covered by insurance for various reasons (e.g. because such risks are uninsurable or the cost of insurance is, according to Management's belief, prohibitively high when compared to risk).

Even if the insurance is adequate to cover Group's direct losses, the Group could be adversely affected by loss of earnings caused by or relating to its properties. The occurrence of any of the above referred harmful effects or insufficient insurance

coverage may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial conditions of the Group. This inter alia means that the Group could:

  • lose capital invested in the affected property as well as anticipated future lease income or sale proceeds from that property;
  • be held liable to repair damage caused by the event; and
  • remain liable for any debt or other financial obligation related to that property.

In addition to that the Group does not maintain separate funds nor does it set aside reserves for the above-referred types of events.

Risk related to lease agreements

The Group's lease agreements could be divided into two categories: non-cancellable fixed-term lease agreements and cancellable lease agreements entered into for an unspecified term. For the cancellable lease and sublease agreements, tenants must notify the administrator 3–6 months in advance, if they wish to cancel the rent agreement and have to pay 3–12 months' rent fee penalty for the cancellation. According to non-cancellable lease and sublease agreements tenants must pay the penalty equal to rentals receivable during the whole remaining lease period.

The Group seeks to use both types of agreements, depending on the market situation and the properties in question. Lease agreements entered into for an unspecified term involve nevertheless a risk that a large number of such agreements may be terminated within a short period of time. The Group aims at renewing the fixed term lease agreements flexibly in cooperation with its tenants. There are, however, no guarantees that the Group will be successful in this. In order to prevent tenants from terminating the lease agreements, the Group may also be forced to agree on the reduction of rent fees. The reduction of rent fees payable to the Group under a large number of lease agreements and/or concurrent termination of a large number of lease agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reliance on the administrator of the Company's property

On 2 January 2013 the Company has entered into an agreement with a third party for property management and administration services on part of Company's asset portfolio. Under this agreement the third party, as an administrator of the property, is committed to increase Company's value and maintain high quality of service for buildings' tenants and employees. In case of change in administrative prices in the market, new contracts under less favourable conditions can be entered into with administrator, which may directly influence the increase in Company's costs.

Possible future reliance on the asset management company

In the future the Company plans to apply for a closed-end investment company licence and it would make the Company dependent on the performance of the asset management company. This would also include dependence on its ability to attract talents and maintain strong management team.

Group's liquidity

The values of the Current ratio of the Group as of 31 December 2015 are 0.2 and (as of 31 December 2014 –0.5). Therefore, a risk remains that circumstances could appear in which the Company would fulfil its current obligations only partially.

The values of the Debt to Equity ratio and the Debt ratio of the Group as of 31 December 2015 are 1.93 and 0.66 respectively (as of 31 December 2014 – 1.73 and 0.63 respectively). There is a risk that the Group could reach such a level of liabilities, where credit institutions would lend funds to the Group under less favourable conditions than they lend on the date of the Prospectus. Appearance of such circumstances could have an adverse effect on the Issuer's possibilities to raise borrowed funds for its investments.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk mainly includes loans with a variable interest rate. On 26 August 2014 the Company and Šiaulių Bankas AB entered into a credit agreement for EUR 15.35 million credit with variable interest rate – 6 month EURIBOR and fixed margin. In January 2016 agreement was changed and the borrowing was increased by EUR 4.5 million. Furthermore, on 15 July 2015 the Subsidiary Dommo Biznesa Parks SIA and ABLV Bank AS entered into a credit agreement in an amount of 3 million with variable interest rate – 3 month EURIBOR and fixed margin. Rising interest rates will increase the Group's debt service costs, which will reduce the return on investment. If considered necessary, the Group will manage interest rate risk by entering into financial derivatives' contracts.

Credit risk

The Group seeks to lease its owned real estate at the highest possible price. However, there is a risk that tenants will not fulfil their obligations, which can have a significant adverse effect on performance and financial situation of the Group. Large parts of undue liabilities in time may cause disturbances in the activities of the Group; there might be a need to seek additional sources of financing, which may be not always available. Although the Group continuously monitors payment behaviour of its tenants, however, there is no assurance that this risk could be managed.

Moreover, in addition to contractual monetary obligations, the tenants may be not able to compensate the Group for the damages caused as a result of breaches of their non-monetary obligations. Such defaults by tenants could inter alia result in the Group companies defaulting under their other contracts and being obliged to pay compensation to their other counterparties without being respectively compensated by the tenants that initially defaulted, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, the Group has an agreement with Inreal Valdymas UAB, which provides property management services to the Group on part of its assets. 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 accounted for approximately 50% and 81% of the total Group's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

The Group also bears the risk of holding funds in bank accounts or investing in short-term financial instruments. Currently short-term financial instruments are not purchased, excess funds are held in bank accounts or used to cover liabilities of the Group.

Reorganisation risk

The Company after the reorganisation – the Merger of Former Parent Company with the Company (previous name – Invalda nekilnojamojo turto fondas AB), which continues its activities after the Merger, took over all the assets, equity and liabilities of the Former Parent Company. For any and all the obligations of the Former Parent Company after the reorganisation, the Company took responsibility.

Total investment risk

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, etc. Investment in real estate should be carried out in the medium and long term, so that the investor could avoid short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is related to higher than medium risks. Failure of investments of the Group or under other ill-affected circumstances (having been unable to pay for the creditors) can have a significant adverse effect on the Group's performance and financial situation or in the worst case scenario bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.

Investments illiquidity risk

There is a risk of incurring losses by the Group due to low liquidity of the real estate market, when it becomes difficult to sell the assets, held by the Group at the desired time and at the desired price. In order to manage this risk, the Management keeps monitoring the real estate market, prepares in advance for property sales process, thereby reducing the liquidity risk. Disregarding the above, there can be no assurance that this risk would be fully eliminated.

Leverage risk

Leverage risk is associated with potential decrease in real estate market value, which was acquired using the borrowed funds of the Group. The higher the leverage used, the greater the likelihood of this risk.

Dependence on tenants

If the Group fails to achieve expected revenue from the rental of buildings or maintain high employment rate, it may be faced with permanent non-reimbursable cost problem of tenants. This risk may appear due to dramatic increase in rented accommodation supply and a drop in demand, fall in rents, etc. Failing to lease space under expected price/volume or termination of leases by the current tenants, could cause corporate earnings to be reduced without a change in fixed costs. Accordingly, the profits could also fall.

Sub-lease agreement risk

In 2007 the Company has sold 5 real estate properties and entered into the operating lease agreement with the buyer until August 2017. All these properties are sub-leased to third parties. For the remaining part of the contract the Company is incurring about EUR 20,000 loss (future rent income from subleased premises minus contractual lease payments and estimates of maintenance and management expenses of leased premises) per month due to this sublease arrangement. This amount varies depending on the income from the sub-lease, property maintenance costs incurred and the rent fees paid.

The Group's reputation may be damaged

The Group's ability to attract purchasers of property, attract and retain tenants, raise the necessary financing for the development projects as well as retain personnel in its employment may suffer if the Group's reputation is damaged. Matters affecting the Group's reputation may include, among other things, the quality and safety of its premises and compliance with laws and regulations. Any damage to the Group's reputation due to, for example, including but not limited to the aforementioned matters, may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Group.

Dependence on IT systems

The Group is dependent on a variety of 3rd party developed and used IT systems and web-based solutions for operations, including internal accounting and management information systems, handling of customer and tenant information, project designs and specifications, and general administrative functions. Failures or significant disruptions to the 3rd parties' IT systems could prevent them from providing their services to the Group efficiently. Furthermore, should the 3rd parties experience a significant security breakdown or other disruption to their IT systems, sensitive information could be compromised and their operations could be disrupted which in turn could harm Group's relationship with its customers and suppliers, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risk Factors Related to the Company's Shares

The price of the Company's Shares may fluctuate significantly

The trading prices of the Shares may be subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in response to many factors including, but not limited to:

  • variations in the Group's operating results and those of other companies operating in sectors, in which the Group is active;
  • negative research reports or adverse brokers comments;
  • future sales of Shares owned by the Issuer's significant shareholders, or the perception that such sales will occur;
  • general economic, political or regulatory conditions in Lithuania or in the sector, in which the Group is active generally; and
  • price and volume fluctuations on Nasdaq or other stock exchanges, including those in other emerging markets.

Fluctuations in the price and volume of the Shares may not be correlated in a predictable way to the Group's performance or operating results.

Turmoil in emerging markets could cause the value of the Shares to suffer

Financial or other turmoil in emerging markets has in the recent past adversely affected market prices in the world's securities markets for companies operating in the affected developing economies. There can be no assurance that renewed volatility stemming from future financial turmoil, or other factors, such as political unrests that may arise in other emerging markets or otherwise, will not adversely affect the value of the Shares even if the Lithuanian economy remains relatively stable.

The market value of Shares may be adversely affected by future sales or issues of substantial amounts of Shares

All the Shares of the Company may be provided for sale without any restrictions and there can be no assurance as to whether or not they will be sold on the market.

The Company cannot predict what affect such future sales or offerings of Shares, if any, may have on the market price of the Shares. However, such transactions may have a material adverse effect, even if temporary, on the market price of the Shares. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the market price of the Shares will not decrease due to subsequent sales of the Shares held by the existing shareholders of the Company or a new Share issue by the Company.

The marketability of the Shares may decline and the market price of the Company's Shares may fluctuate disproportionately in response to adverse developments that are unrelated to the Company's operating performance

The Company cannot assure that the marketability of the Shares will improve or remain consistent. Shares listed on regulated markets, such as Nasdaq, have from time to time experienced, and may experience in the future, significant price fluctuations in response to developments that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of the Shares may fluctuate widely, depending on many factors beyond the Company's control. These factors include, amongst other things, actual or anticipated variations in operating results and earnings by the Group companies and/or their competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, market conditions in the industry and in general the status of the securities market, governmental legislation and regulations, as well as general economic and general market conditions, such as recession. These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for the Shares to fluctuate substantially and any such development, if adverse, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Shares which may decline disproportionately to the Group companies' operating performance. The market price of the Shares is also subject to fluctuations in response to further issuance of Shares by the Company, sales of Shares by the Company's existing shareholders, the liquidity of trading in the Shares and capital reduction or purchases of Shares by the Company as well as investor perception.

There is no guarantee that the Company will pay dividends in the future

INVL Baltic Real Estate, AB on 15 January 2016 approved a dividend policy which stipulates the minimum payment of yearly EUR 0.012 dividends per Share (3 percent of the Offer Price). Dividends could be increased depending on the free cash flow of the Company and funds needed for investment projects.

However, there is a risk that the dividends will not be paid if the company's financial results will not be good enough to pay out the provided dividends, there will be lack of working capital for them to pay or the dividend payout rates provided by the bank will not be carried out.

Liquidity of the Issuer's Shares is not guaranteed

It may be possible that in case an investor wants to urgently sell the Issuer's securities (especially a large number of them), demand for those on the exchange will not be sufficient. Therefore, sale of shares can take some more time or the investor may be forced to sell shares at a lower price. Analogous consequences could appear, if the Company's Shares are excluded from the Secondary List of Nasdaq or trading is suspended under the provisions of the applicable legal acts. Besides, in case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, demand for the Shares of the Company and, at the same time, their price may decrease.

Large shareholders' risk

81.5 percent of Shares and voting rights granted thereby are held by five Major Shareholders: LJB investments UAB – 20.0 percent, Irena Ona Miseikiene – 19.0 percent, Invalda INVL AB – 32.1 percent, Lucrum investicija UAB – 5.4 percent (of votes), Alvydas Banys – 5.0 percent. Voting of the shareholders mentioned above will influence the election of the members of the Management Board, essential decisions regarding the management, operations and financial position of the Company. There is no guarantee that the Major Shareholders' decisions will always coincide with the opinion and interest of the minority shareholders. Major Shareholders (or several of them) have also the possibility to block the proposed decisions of other shareholders of the Company.

Legal and Taxation Risk Factors

Legal requirements and regulations of the markets, in which the Group operates, may be changed

If the Group fails to adapt itself in time to new requirements of legal acts or decisions regulating issues specified above, fines may be imposed, the Group's activities may be restricted, etc., which can have a relevant effect on its activities and business prospects, call for unexpected expenses necessary for fulfilment of certain obligations or for payment of fines.

Besides, in case of changes in legal acts or the state taxation policy with regard to equities, the attractiveness of the Company's Shares may change. This may lead to reduction of liquidity and/or the price of the Company's Shares.

Issuer does not fully comply with Nasdaq Corporate Governance Code

The Issuer does not fully comply with Nasdaq Corporate Governance Code: it has not formed the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the collegial bodies of the Issuer do not conduct the assessment of their activities every year, no public statements are made regarding the Company's remuneration policy, etc.

Tax contingencies and uncertain tax positions

Lithuanian tax legislation which was enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period may be subject to varying interpretations. Consequently, tax positions taken by the Management and the formal documentation supporting the tax positions may be successfully challenged by relevant authorities. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years proceedings the year of review. The Management is not aware of any circumstances that could lead to significant tax charges and penalties in the future that have not been provided for or disclosed in these financial statements. The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by the Management at the end of each reporting period. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by the Management as more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognized based on the Management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligations at the end of the reporting period.

Possible change of the legal status of the Company

Following the decision of the General Meeting of the Company, dated 28 October 2015, it was inter alia decided to reorganize the activities of the Company so that it would operate as the closed-end investment company under the Law on Collective Investment Undertakings.

The Company intends to apply for a closed-end investment company license, to be issued by the LB. If the licence is issued, this would lead to changes in the protection of Company's shareholders and certain operating restrictions, as established in the Law on Collective Investment Undertakings, e.g. the Shares of the Company will be replaced with investment units, the Company will be entitled to invest the managed funds, certain limitations of the applicable laws shall be applied to the Company with regards its investments, their diversification, etc. Furthermore, the Company's operating expenses might be increased because of the requirements to conduct periodic property's assessment, protect the Company's property in the depository and other.

recommendations, it should furnish information on

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:
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 some of them fail to meet the
recommendation on independency.
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
during the last five years;
2)he/she is not an employee of the company or
some any company and has not been such
during the last three years, except for cases
when a member of the collegial body does not
belong to the senior management and was
elected
to
the
collegial
body
as
a
representative of the employees;
3)he/she is not receiving or has been not
receiving significant additional remuneration
from the company or associated company
other than remuneration for the office in the
collegial body. Such additional remuneration

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 cannot 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. To ensure accuracy of the
information
disclosed
in
relation
with
the
independence of the members of the collegial
body, the company should require independent
members to have their independence periodically
re-confirmed.
No No Board members' independency assessment and
announcement
practice
is
applicable
in
the
Company.

3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial body for their work and participation in the meetings of the collegial body, they may be remunerated from the company's funds. The General Shareholders' Meeting should approve the amount of such remuneration. Not applicable The Board members are not remunerated for their work and participation in the meeting of the Board from the Company's funds. Principle IV: The duties and liabilities of a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring of the Company's management bodies and protection of interests of all the Company's shareholders. 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. The collegial body should issue recommendations to the company's management bodies and monitor and control the company's management performance. Yes The Board submits Company's annual financial statement and consolidated annual financial statement, profit distribution drafts to the General Shareholders' Meeting, delivers consolidated annual report, also performs all other functions set forth in the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania. 4.2. Members of the collegial body should act in good faith, with care and responsibility for the benefit and in the interests of the company and its shareholders with due regard to the interests of employees and public welfare. 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 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. 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. 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 Yes The Board treats all shareholders honestly and impartially.

of the collegial body when communicating with and
committing to shareholders.
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
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
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.
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.

4.12. Nomination Committee.

4.12.1. Key functions of the Nomination Committee should be the following:

1) identify and recommend, for the approval of the collegial body, candidates to fill Board vacancies.

4.13. Remuneration Committee.

4.13.1. Key functions of the Remuneration Committee should be the following:

1) make proposals, for the approval of the collegial body, on the remuneration policy for members of management bodies and executive directors. Such policy should address all forms of compensation, including the fixed remuneration, performancebased remuneration schemes, pension arrangements, and termination payments. Proposals considering performance-based remuneration schemes should be accompanied with recommendations on the related objectives and evaluation criteria, with a view to properly aligning the pay of executive director and members of the management bodies with the long-term

interests of the shareholders and the objectives set by the collegial body;

2) make proposals to the collegial body on the individual remuneration for executive directors and member of management bodies in order their remunerations are consistent with company's remuneration policy and the evaluation of the performance of these persons concerned. In doing so, the Committee should be properly informed on the total compensation obtained by executive directors and members of the management bodies from the affiliated companies;

3) make proposals to the collegial body regarding the choice between granting options to subscribe shares or granting options to purchase shares, specifying the reasons for its choice as well as the consequences that this choice has.

4.13.3. Upon resolution of the issues attributable to the competence of the Remuneration Committee, the Committee should at least address the chairman of the collegial body and/or Chief Financial Officer of the company for their opinion on the remuneration of other executive directors or members of the management bodies.

4.13.4. The Remuneration Committee should report on the exercise of its functions to the

shareholders and be present at the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting for this purpose. 4.14. Audit Committee. 4.14.1. Key functions of the Audit Committee should be the following: 1) observe the integrity of the financial information provided by the company, in particular by reviewing the relevance and consistency of the accounting methods used by the company and its group (including the criteria for the consolidation of the accounts of companies in the group); 2) at least once a year review the systems of internal control and risk management to ensure that the key risks (inclusive of the risks in relation with compliance with existing laws and regulations) are properly identified, managed and reflected in the information provided; 3) ensure the efficiency of the internal audit function, among other things, by making recommendations on the selection, appointment, reappointment and removal of the head of the internal audit department and on the budget of the department, and by monitoring the responsiveness of the management to its findings and recommendations.
