| Overall Company and Group materiality |
Overall materiality applied to the Company and the Group amounted to $\epsilon$ 256 thousand and $\epsilon$ 304 thousand, respectively. |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | 1% of total equity of the Company and the Group, respectively. |
| Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied |
We chose the Company's and Group's equity as the benchmark because, in our view, it is an appropriate measure of underlying performance, and it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Company, the Group and other companies in this industry is most commonly measured by users, and it is a generally accepted benchmark. The key driver of the business and determinant of the Company's and the Group's value is investments into various properties. For this reason, the key area of focus in the audit of the financial statements of the Company and the Group is the valuation of investment properties. Accordingly, an overall Company and Group materiality was based on total equity. We chose 1%, which is within the range of acceptable quantitative materiality thresholds. |

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 entity 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 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.

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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The principal accounting policies applied in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 are as follows:
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 Group has adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of 1 January 2016:
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
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 has no intention to change measurement method.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The improvements consist of changes to seven standards.
The amendments had no material effect on the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016, except the Group disclose the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments in the Note 8, and the Group disclose amounts charged to the Company by the Management Company.
All other amendments adopted as of 1 January 2016 had no impact on the Group's/Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective and have not been early adopted
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
Key features of the new standard are:
The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the new standard on their financial statements. The Group and the Company have financial assets attributed to the categories of financial assets 'Loans and receivables' and 'Assets at fair value through profit or loss'. The loans granted to subsidiaries are also attributed to the latter category. Therefore, the Group and the Company do not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets. The Group and the Company have only financial liabilities attributed to the category 'Other financial liabilities'. Therefore, there will be no impact on the Group's and the Company's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss. The changes in hedge accounting will not have impact on the Group's and the Company's financial statements as the Group and the Company have no hedge accounting. While the Group and the Company have not undertaken yet a detailed assessment of the affect of the new ECL model on its impairment provisions, it may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses. The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group's and the Company's disclosures of their financial instruments, particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard. The Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 9 before its mandatory date.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective and have not been early adopted (cont'd)
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the standard on its financial statements, but is not expected that the impact of the standard on its financial statements would be material, because the main revenue of the Group is rental income. The Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 15 before its mandatory date.
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 Group and the Company do not intend to adopt IFRS 16 before its mandatory date.
Amendments to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 once adopted by the EU)
The amended IAS 7 will require disclosure of a reconciliation of movements in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendments would have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance, but the additional disclosures would be added.
Amendments to IAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 once adopted by the EU)
The amendment clarified that to transfer to, or from, investment properties there must be a change in use. This change must be supported by evidence; a change in intention, in isolation, is not enough to support a transfer. The Group and the Company are currently assessing the impact of the amendments on their financial statements.
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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The financial statements are prepared in euro (EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is also the local currency of the Republic of Latvia. Euro is the Company's and the Group's functional and presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania.
As these financial statements are presented in EUR thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in the tables may not add up.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, 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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
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.
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.
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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Properties that are held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation are classified as investment properties. Where the Group/Company 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/Company 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 exception 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 15).
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/Company 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.
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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Since the merger with the 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:
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.
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/Company 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 2.9).
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
The Group/Company assesses at each reporting date whether is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The Group/Company assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. When financial asset is assessed as uncollectible the impaired asset is derecognised.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition). If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance account. The amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. The Group/Company 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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
The Management Fee is remuneration paid to the Management Company for management of the assets of the Company, which is payable for each quarter of a calendar year and is 0.375% of the weighted average capitalisation of the Company, calculated according to the Articles of Association.
The quarterly payable Management Fee is recorded as financial liability and is accounted for at amortised cost.
The Performance Fee depends on the return earned by the Company, which is calculated for the whole Company rather than for an individual shareholder, and is based on internal rate of return. The Performance Fee amounts to 20% of return in excess of the annual internal rate return of 8% (a high water-mark principle is applied).The Performance Fee is paid to the Management Company on a quarterly basis if both the internal rate of return and the stock price growth (including dividends) exceed 8% annually.
The Performance fee is accounted as a provision until the conditions, as described above, for the payment of the fee are satisfied.
More detailed requirements are set out in the Articles of Association of the Company.
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/Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of other financial liabilities, 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:
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 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/Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the profit or loss. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
An onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. A provision for onerous lease contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group/Company from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.
The Company is obliged to pay the Performance Fee to the Management Company (Note 2.13). There is an obligation to pay the Performance Fee, which becomes payable only in the event of outperformance of the benchmark over the defined period as described in Note 2.13 and the Company's Articles of Association.
As services are provided over time, the obligating past event arises and a provision for the Company's management services needs to be recognised. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the retained earnings. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.
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 statement of financial position (Note 15). See Note 2.18 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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
The Group/Company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group's/Company's activities as described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and other sales taxes or duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rental income arising from operating leases on investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. When the Group/Company provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of incentives is recognised over the lease term, on a straightline basis, as a reduction of rental income.
Utilities and other services income are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Group/Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loan and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions until becoming closed-end investment company. Afterwards the chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Management Company and the Investment Committee.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
Following the provisions of the Lithuanian Law on Corporate Income Tax, investment income of closed-end investment companies operating in accordance with the Lithuanian Law on Collective Investment Undertakings shall not be subject to taxation.
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 2015 and 2016. 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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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/Company pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and included in payroll expenses.
The Company and the Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
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.
The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, which had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements:
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.
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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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/Company 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/Company. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.
Fair value of investment properties was based 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 Company's investment properties located in Lithuania have to be valued twice a year by two qualified independent valuers in accordance with the Lithuanian Law on Collective Investment Undertakings. In the process of valuation the Management has discussions with the qualified independent valuers about significant unobservable inputs. If both valuers select the same approach and determine the same use of the property, but use slightly different unobservable inputs, the valuation creates a range of fair values on the basis of which the management estimate the most appropriate fair value. If the valuers determine different use of the property, the management selects to use the valuation of the valuer whose use of the property satisfies the highest and the best use principle.
The fair value of the investment properties of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2016 was EUR 52,410 thousand and EUR 43,964 thousand, respectively (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 51,747 thousand and EUR 43,200 thousand, respectively) (described in more details in Note 15).
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 2016 was EUR 5,289 thousand (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 4,971 thousand) (described in more details in Note 5).
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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 9.
The provision for onerous lease was EUR 272 thousand as at 31 December 2016 (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 347 thousand, (described in more details in Note 9). If the inflation estimation would be change by 50 basis points the carrying amount of onerous contract provision would be an estimated EUR 34 thousand higher/lower as at 31 December 2016.
The amount of provision for the Performance Fee represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. As at 31 December 2016, it was calculated according to the Articles of Association of the Company as an amount equal to 20% of return in excess of the annual internal rate of return of 8% for December 2016 (i.e. the first period with a status of a closed-end investment company). The provision was estimated as a most likely outcome. Given that the Performance Fee would become payable only if the stock price growth (including dividends) exceeded 8% annually and in view of uncertain future performance of the Company, the timing and the amount of the Performance Fee payable in future are uncertain.
The provision for the Performance Fee was EUR 814 thousand as at 31 December 2016 (Note 9).
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 was executed by the Board of Directors. After obtaining the status of a closed-end investment company, the strategical risk management is executed by the Management Company. 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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits, credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables and loans granted. The Group/Company 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/Company of loans and receivable balances. The maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in Notes 18 and 19. 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 Company has an agreement with external entity, which provides property management services to the Company in Lithuania. The rent income and related revenues from the Company'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/Company has significant concentration of credit risk with respect to this entity. This third party accounts for approximately 55% and 50% of the total Group's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, respectively. This third party accounts for approximately 56% and 51% of the total Company's trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, 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 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |
| Moody's short-term ratings | ||||
| Prime-1 | 96 | 130 | 77 | 124 |
| Prime-2 | - | - | - | - |
| Not Prime | 605 | 165 | 589 | 163 |
| Not rated | 50 | 98 | - | - |
| 751 | 393 | 666 | 287 |
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
Market risk
The Group's/Company'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.

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.
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 2016 and 2015 was approximately 1.12 and 0.2, respectively. The Company's liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 was approximately 1.13 and 0.2.

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 2016 and 2015, except for two subsidiaries in 2016 and two dormant subsidiaries in 2015. There are no plans yet to rectify the situation in 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 2016 and 2015, all Latvian subsidiaries complied with this requirement.
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. 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.
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 2016.
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total balance | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets of the Group | ||||
| Investment properties (Note 15) | - | 4,017 | 48,393 | 52,410 |
| Assets of the Company | ||||
| Investment properties (Note 15) | - | 862 | 43,102 | 43,964 |
| Investment into subsidiaries (Note 5) | - | 5,289 | 5,289 |
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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 | ||||
| Investment properties (Note 15) | - | 3,735 | 48,012 | 51,747 |
| Assets of the Company | ||||
| Investment properties (Note 15) | - | 561 | 42,639 | 43,200 |
| Investment into subsidiaries (Note 5) | - | - | 4,971 | 4,971 |
There were no transfers of assets between the Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during 2015 and 2016.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group's and the Company's statements of financial position.
The Group's and the Company's principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position are cash and cash equivalents, 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 2016 and 2015 approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the impact of discounting is immaterial.
The carrying amount of borrowings of the Group and the Company and provision for onerous contract as at 31 December 2016 and 2015 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.
The Group had the following subsidiaries directly or indirectly owned by the Company as at 31 December 2016 and 2015:

*These subsidiaries are directly owned by the Company.
**The subsidiary was directly owned by the Company in 2015 and is indirectly owned by the Company as from 29 September 2016.
In 2015 the Group also included the Former Parent Company.
All subsidiary undertakings listed in the tables above are included in the consolidation.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
In 2016 the Company invested additional amount of EUR 17 thousand to increase the share capital of subsidiaries, from which EUR 3 thousand was paid by cash instalments. The Company sold subsidiary UAB Perspektyvi Veikla to UAB Rovelija for EUR 2 thousand.
The Company also owned 100% of the shares of UAB INTF Investicija. 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 due to bankruptcy proceedings.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 10). 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.
In 2015 the Company had no right to pay dividends without a bank's written consent according to the loan agreements, and until the legal merger the shares of the Company were pledged to the banks as collateral to secure the repayment of borrowings. Starting from 2016 the Company has the right to pay dividends without a bank's 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 was higher than 1.1. The subsidiary SIA Dommo Bizness Parks has no right to pay dividends without a bank's written consent according to the loan agreements. The bank shall give its consent to pay dividends if a subsidiary's ability to repay borrowings is not degraded subsequently, and the subsidiary performs its obligation under the loan agreement as at the moment of giving the aforementioned consent. The loans granted (including accumulated interest thereon) to SIA Dommo Grupa and SIA Dommo Bizness Parks are subordinate to the bank borrowings and can be repaid only upon maturity of the bank borrowings in 2020.
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 2016 and 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:
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 127 | 162 |
| Loans granted | 5,162 | 4,809 |
| 5,289 | 4,971 |

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 are 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 7). 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 2016 and 2015 the Company has recognised EUR 202 thousand and 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, respectively. As at 31 December 2016 and as at 31 December 2015 unrecognised part of '1 day profit' was EUR 710 thousand and EUR 912 thousand, respectively. Therefore, the total fair value of loans granted by the Company was EUR 5,872 thousand and EUR 5,721 thousand as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, respectively (their carrying amount – EUR 5,162 thousand and EUR 4,809 thousand, respectively). It is Level 3 measurement.

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 wholly 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 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 entity 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:

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 entities. 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 10).
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 10) | 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 15.
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.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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).
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 net operating income. Net operating income 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. After becoming a closed-end investment company, the segment information is reviewed and analysed by the Investment Committee of the Management Company. Management of the Company has determined the following reportable segments:

Some of lease and sublease agreements have a clause enabling upward revision of the rental charges on an annual basis according to prevailing market conditions.
The Company is leasing premises from an external party until August 2017 under the lease agreement of 10 August 2007, except for one property, which is leased until the expiry of the current sublease agreement (31 December 2025). The Company had paid a one off deposit in the amount of EUR 825 thousand corresponding to the 6 months rental fee amount which will be set-off against the last part of lease payment at the termination of the lease. The rent payments are subject to an indexation at the end of August each year on the basis of harmonised consumer price index, if the latter is more than 1%, but there is a cap for annual indexation of 3.8%. In November of 2016 the amendment to the lease agreement was signed.

*In 2015 the prepayment of EUR 825 thousand was deducted from the future lease payments in the caption 'from one to five years'.
** In 2016 the prepayment of EUR 450 thousand was deducted from the future lease payments in the caption 'within one year' and the prepayment of EUR 100 thousand was deducted from the future lease payments in the caption 'after five years'.
The lease agreement of 10 August 2007 is an onerous contract, therefore there is a provision of EUR 272 thousand and EUR 347 thousand to cover the loss anticipated in connection with this contract recognised in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016 and 2015, respectively. This amount 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 changes in the provision for onerous contract is presented below:

Following the provisions of the Lithuanian Law on Corporate Income Tax, investment income of closed-end investment companies operating in accordance with the Lithuanian Law on Collective Investment Undertakings shall not be subject to taxation. Therefore, after obtaining the status of a closed-end investment company, the Group/Company reversed the deferred tax liabilities of EUR 4,283 thousand, and accordingly, recognised deferred income tax credit in the statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2016. The main non-deductible expenses of the Group/Company for 2016 were provisions.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
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.
The weighted average number of shares in 2016 was as follows:
| Calculation of weighted average for the year 2016 |
Number of shares (thousand) |
Par value (EUR) |
Issued/366 (days) |
Weighted average (thousand) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shares issued as at 31 December 2015 | 43,226 | 0.29 | 366/366 | 43,226 |
| New shares issued as at 8 March 2016 (Note 21) | 22,524 | 0.29 | 298/366 | 18,339 |
| Shares issued as at 31 December 2016 | 65,750 | 0.29 | 61,565 |
There were new shares issued of the Company after merger in 2015 (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 43,226 thousand of shares are used for 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 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 2015 | |
| Net profit (loss), attributable to the equity holders of the parent | 4,507 | 4,096 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares (thousand) | 61,565 | 43,226 |
| Basic earnings (deficit) per share (EUR) | 0.07 | 0.09 |
For 2015 and 2016 diluted earnings per share of the Group are the same as basic earnings per share.

Investment properties of the Group are office buildings, warehouses and the entire building of old apartments. The majority of buildings and warehouses are leased out under the operating lease agreements and generate rental income.
The direct operating expenses arising from investment properties can be allocated as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |

During 2015 the Group acquired investment properties amounting to EUR 8,027 thousand as a result of business combination in Latvia (Note 7).
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 (EUR 5,618 thousand excluding VAT). The settlement of the liability occurred in 2016. Moreover, before the purchase of these premises the Company 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 Company. 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. In 2016 the Company obtained ownership of additional 11 parking spaces by paying for them EUR 228 thousand (excluding VAT). In 2016 the Company incurred reconstruction expenses of EUR 288 thousand at Gynėjų str. 14 to arrange premises for rent, which were capitalised and added to the acquisition cost of investment property.
(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)
In 2016 the Group and the Company additionally invested EUR 51 thousand into investment property located at Žygio str. 97, Vilnius, where the new building foundation was laid (in 2015 investments totalled EUR 205 thousand). The Company has paid for this investment in 2016. In 2015 the Company 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. Therefore this part of investment property was measured according to the disposal price and was classified as non-current assets held-for-sale as at 31 December 2015. The deal was completed in December 2016 (Note 20).
During 2016 the Company sold 6 parking spaces (that were acquired in 2016) to the subsidiary UAB Proprietas for EUR 51 thousand. EUR 47 thousand was received in cash, and the remaining amount was set off by increasing the share capital of the subsidiary. During 2015 the Group and the Company did not sell any investment property.
Investment properties are measured at fair value. As at 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, properties leased out by the entity and investment properties held for future redevelopment in Lithuania were valued on 31 October 2016 and 23 October–4 November 2015, respectively, by an accredited valuer UAB OBER-HAUS Nekilnojamasis Turtas (hereinafter together with SIA OBER-HAUS Vertešanas Serviss referred to as 'Oberhaus') using an income approach. As at 31 December 2016 investment properties located in Lithuania were also valued by an accredited valuer UAB Newsec Valuations (hereinafter 'Newsec') using an income approach and market approach. As at 31 December 2016, investment properties located in Latvia were valued in August 2016 by an accredited valuer SIA OBER-HAUS Vertešanas Serviss and in September 2016 by SIA City Real Estate Company (hereinafter CRE) using a market approach for land and using an income approach for warehouse. 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.
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 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.

The Company and the Group have no loans granted measured at amortised cost as at 31 December 2015 and 2016.
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. 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 7). 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 subordinate 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 interest income on impaired loans for the year ended 31 December 2015.
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 20).

On 17 December 2015 the Board of Directors has approved the sale of the technical development project and loans granted related with enterprise in bankruptcy UAB Sago. The sale agreements were signed on 31 December 2015. The sale was completed in January 2016 after settlement was made. Therefore, the above mentioned assets were evaluated at disposal price and were classified as held-for-sale as at 31 December 2015.
The Company has signed preliminary agreement, according to which the constructed building foundation with attributed to it leased land would be sold for EUR 500 thousand plus construction cost of building foundation (as at 31 December 2015 – EUR 205 thousand). The Company has received in advance EUR 450 thousand from the buyer until 31 December 2015. Therefore this part of investment property located at Žygio str. 97, Vilnius, was measured according to the sale price and was classified as noncurrent assets held-for-sale as at 31 December 2015. The deal was completed in December 2016. In 2016 additional amount of EUR 51 thousand was invested to building foundation. Therefore, the final sale price was EUR 756 thousand which included land rent right to 0.15 hectare. If under the law requirements the Company ultimately loses the land rent right to additional up to 0.13 hectare, then the Buyer will have to pay a contingent consideration of up to of EUR 433 thousand. The contingent consideration was not recognised as revenue in the financial statements of the Group and the Company, because the management believed it was more likely that land rent right to 0.15 hectare would be sufficient for the Buyer. In 2016 the Group and the Company received from this sale EUR 306 thousand in cash.
As at 31 December 2016 the Company's and the Group's share capital was divided into 65,750,000 (as of 31 December 2015: 43,226,252) ordinary registered shares with the nominal value of EUR 0.29 each. All the shares of the Company were fully paid.

Deferred income tax credit related to the issue costs amounted to EUR 6 thousand and was recognised directly within retained earnings.

INVL Baltic Real Estate consolidated net operating income from its own facilities in 2016 amounted to EUR 2.3 million or 16 percent more than in 2015 (EUR 2.0 million). INVL Baltic Real Estate consolidated revenue in 2016 amounted to EUR 6.29 million or 10.5 percent more than in 2015 (EUR 5.694 million), from them consolidated rental income from their own objects increased by 21.5 percent to EUR 3.6 million.
We were working intensively in 2016 in order to redesign and lease out the space of 6500 square metres in the property most recently purchased by the company – the Vilnius Gates Business Centre. Contract works of the first phase of the redesigning were completed in September 2016 and the technical design works of the second phase – in December 2016. We are pleased that this work yielded results at the end of the year already – tenancy contracts for the premises for
more than 2750 square metres were signed and the occupancy of the Vilnius Gate Business Centre will reach 80 per cent at the beginning of 2018, according to the tenancy contracts signed at the end of 2016.
The last year was particularly successful for the IBC Business Centre – the largest asset facility managed by INVL Baltic Real Estate. Not only a high level of occupancy has been retained and performance results have been improved but also all the main negotiations undertaken in 2016 on the extension of tenancy contracts have been successfully completed.
Other facilities operated by INVL Baltic Real Estate also showed high occupancy indicators and improving performance results in 2016. We are delighted that our clients stay loyal and trust INVL Baltic Real Estate as a reliable and long-term partner and we will make every effort to retain this trust.
In 2016, INVL Baltic Real Estate offered an opportunity to invest into the company with a valuable diversified real estate portfolio by issuing a new share emission of EUR 9 million. A closed-end investment company license has been obtained. With this license, INVL Baltic Real Estate operates as an investment fund with the duration of activities of 30 years. The properties operated by INVL Baltic Real Estate are located in highly attractive locations in the central part of Vilnius, which gives a competitive advantage over newer but outlying business centres. The rapidly growing demand for business centres promises not only an increasing competition for existing and potential property tenants but also decreasing occupancy indicators, however, we are certain that our professional and long-term relations with tenants and exclusive characteristics of the facilities operated will help not only retain high occupancy indicators but also further improve performance results.
In 2016, Vilnius demonstrated the highest level of activity in the business centre segment. The year 2016 saw the opening of five new business centres which supplemented the market with an area of 86,200 sq.m. available for lease. During 2016, the total vacancy rate in Vilnius grew from 3.4 % to 4.8 % and available space grew in all the segments.
Furthermore, the construction projects of at least another ten business centres were implemented. During 2017, new business centres will supplement the market with an area of approx. 78,400 sq.m. of leasable space, around 25–40 % of which will probably be still available for lease as of the opening date; therefore, the vacancy rate could jump up to 8–12 % or even more at the end of 2017. Despite the strong demand for modern business centres remaining in the capital, so many new premises will undoubtedly increase the vacancy rates and competition among their managers; therefore, the growth in rent rates over the next two years is hardly likely, and tenants can expect to receive various discounts or free services generating the value added.
During 2016, two new business centres with an area of 4,100 sq.m. were opened in Kaunas. At the end of the year, the available floor space ratio dropped by almost 1% and stood at 3.7% in the provisional capital, compared to the respective period in 2015. During 2017–2018, the total area of 69,080 sq.m. will be offered for lease in Kaunas; therefore, it is likely that vacancy will increase up to 5 – 10 % at the end of 2017.
In 2016, a business centre with an area of 2,000 sq.m. was opened in Klaipėda. At the end of 2016, the total vacancy rate in the port city stood at 11.9 % and declined by 0.3 % during the year. The opening of a new business centre which will supplement the market with an area of 2,000 sq.m. is scheduled in Klaipėda for 2017.
In 2016, rent rates in the major cities have remained stable. In Vilnius, the strong demand reduced the amount of available space on the market and increased the preconditions for rental price growth in the first half of the year. However, in the second half of 2016, the vacancy rate grew as the active development of business centres offered more leasable space to the market, and this increased competition between the lessors and amortised the potential price growth. In Kaunas, the strong demand remained for the entire year, whereas the vacancy level was minimal, and therefore, the prices grew by approx. 3–5 % within the year. In 2016, there was too much leasable space in Klaipėda even to consider the probability of rental price growth. In 2017, the rapidly growing demand for leasable space and competition in Vilnius and Kaunas will not allow for rental price growth, and in some segments, particularly in older B2 class offices, rent rates can slightly decline. In Klaipėda, the rent prices of modern offices should remain stable provided that there are no changes in the current situation.
In 2016, a minor vacancy decline was observed in the warehouse premises lease segment in the major cities of the country but only in Vilnius there is a merely few per cent of available space. Meanwhile, due to vacated premises and new development, the vacancy rate stood at 11–13 % in Kaunas and Klaipėda, and this is a serious signal that there is a surplus on the warehousing market in these cities, especially when a similar vacancy rate has existed for some time already.
The year 2016 saw the completion of two logistics centres in Vilnius (Woodline, 6,800 sq.m.) and Klaipėda (VPA Logistics, 17,500 sq.m.). In 2017, the construction projects of at least three logistics centres intended for lease in Vilnius are scheduled for completion. They will supplement the market with an area of approx. 30,000 sq.m.
In 2016, the vacancy rate on the Latvian warehousing and logistics market stood at around 5 %. During 2016, rental prices remained stable and varied from EUR 3.5 to 4.5 per sq.m. in A class centres located close to Riga.

INVL Baltic Real Estate has signed these agreements with this intermediary:
INVL Baltic Real Estate has no branches or representative offices.
Invalda INVL, AB provides accounting services for the company. At the end of 2016 INVL Baltic Real Estate did not have any empoyees. There were two employees at INVL Baltic Real Estate at the end of 2015.
The number of employees has changed because of the changes of the legal status of the Company. The management and all the functions earlier performed by the Company's employees were transferred to the Management Company.
There were 4 employees working at INVL Baltic Real Estate and portfolio companies on 31 December 2016, 4 employees – in 2015.
There are no agreements of the company and the Members of the Board, or the employees' agreements providing for compensation in case of the resignation or in case they are dismissed without a due reason or their employment is terminated in view of the change of the control of the company.
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. There are only basic risks and their descriptions provided in this report. Detailed descriptions of the risks are published on the Company's website.
After the issuance of the Licence by the LB on 22 December 2016, the Company started to operate not only according to the Law on Companies and Law on Securities and other related legal acts, as it was until obtaining a Licence, but also under the Law on Collective Investment Undertakings and other related legal acts, which establish certain specific obligations in respect of the protection of Company's shareholders and certain operating restrictions, e.g. the Company is entitled to invest the managed funds following the requirements of the investment strategy of the Company, certain limitations of the applicable laws are applied to the Company with regards its investments, their diversification, management thereof, 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.
It should also be noted that investments into Shares of the Company (holding a Licence) are related to higher than average, long-term risk. The Company cannot guarantee that the shareholders will get invested funds back. Therefore, Shares of the Company are suitable only for investors, who seek higher long term returns but could afford to take higher than average risk, including loss of principal.
The value of an investment into real estate can fluctuate in the short term depending on the general economic situation, real estate lease and sale prices, demand and supply fluctuations. Investments into real estate should be made for a medium or long period in order that the investor could avoid the risk of short-term price fluctuations. Investments into real estate are related to higher than average risk. If investments are not profitable or in case of other unfavourable circumstances (inability to pay creditors in time), bankruptcy proceedings can be instituted against the Company. Redemption of the Shares is limited, i.e. a shareholder cannot demand that the Company or the Management Company, which took over its management, would redeem the Shares. But a shareholder will have a possibility to sell Shares in the secondary market.
Real estate projects developed by the Company can take longer than planned or cost more than planned and return on investments of the Company may decrease for this reason. Managing this risk, the Company will assign sufficient resources for control over the budgets and performance terms of real estate development projects.
There is a risk that in case of inflation the value of a Share will grow slower than the inflation, which would result in the return lower than inflation. In such a case, the real return earned by persons who sold the Shares of the Company in the market from increase in the value of the Shares can be smaller than expected. In case of deflation, there would be a risk that the value of the Company's investments will decrease by reason of the drop of the general price level.
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.
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.
The success of the Company's investments will largely depend on decisions taken by persons in the Management Company who are responsible for management of the Company and on experience and capabilities of the said persons. There is no guarantee that the same persons will always remain responsible for management of the Company, however efforts will be used that activities of the Company would always be taken care of by properly qualified persons.
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. 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.
The Group's lease agreements may 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 1-12 months in advance, if they wish to cancel the rent agreement and have to pay 1-6 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.
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. The detailed list of buildings, administered, based on this agreement is provided in Section 2.3. of the Company's consolidated annual report "Investment restrictions". 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.
There is a risk that in case of fast recovery of the global economy or increase in inflation, central banks will increase interest rates and it will be more expensive to service loans in connection with the Company's investments, therefore, the value of the Company's investments can decrease. In order to avoid this risk, the Management Company shall seek that the Company would get most of its loans at fixed interest rates. If it seems necessary, the Company shall hedge against interest rate risk when entering into relevant transactions.
Furthermore, 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 (on 29 January 2016 a credit was increased by EUR 4.5 million) with variable interest rate – 6 month EURIBOR and fixed margin. In addition to that, 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.
Leverage risk is related to possible depreciation of real estate objects acquired with borrowed money. The bigger the leverage, the higher probability of this risk is. The level of borrowings of the Group was 41% of its investment property market value as of 31 December 2016 (47% as of 31 December 2015).
The Company has given and may have given loans to other companies, therefore, in case of deterioration of the financial condition of those companies, there is a risk that the Company will not get back all the loans granted by it.
This is a risk to incur losses due to low liquidity of the market, when it becomes difficult to sell assets at the desired time at the desired price. In management of this risk, the Company will regularly monitor the real estate market, will get ready for the property sale process in advance, in this way reducing the liquidity risk. Acquiring Shares, the shareholders also assume the risk of securities liquidity – in case of a drop in demand for Shares or delisting them from the stock exchange, investors would find it difficult to sell them. In case of deterioration of the Company's financial situation, the demand for Shares, as well as their price may decrease. Liquidity risk also covers the cash flow disruption risk incurred by the Company due to late payments and/or full default on monetary obligations by insolvent tenants.
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.
This is a risk that one bad investment can have a significant effect on the results of the Company. In order to reduce this risk, the Company will have a sufficient number of different real estate objects in its portfolio, in this way maintaining the proper diversification level.
The Company will seek to let real estate objects at as high prices as possible. Though currently the rent is paid in time (overdue obligations of tenants are very small and are not significant for activities of the Company), there is a risk that upon change (deterioration) of the economic situation the tenants will default on their obligations – this would have a negative impact on the profit and cash flows of the Company. In case of late performance of a large part of obligations, the ordinary business of the Company may be disrupted, it may be necessary to search for additional sources of financing, which may be not always available. The Company, in case of failure to earn planned income from lease or to maintain a high percentage of occupation of the buildings, can face the problem of costs that are not compensated by permanent tenants. This risk may manifest itself in case of big increase in the supply of rented premises and reduction in demand, drop in rental fees. In case of a failure to let the premises at planned prices or in planned scopes, also in case current tenants terminate their lease agreements, the income of the Company could decrease, whereas fixed costs would remain the same. Accordingly, the profit of the Company would decrease.
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 assets of the Company will be evaluated according to the main rules set in the Articles of Association and the Accounting Policy of the Management Company. Valuation of individual assets held by the Company shall be performed by two property appraisers, however such valuation of assets shall be only determining the value of the assets, which does not automatically mean the exact sale price of an investment held by the Company, which depends on many circumstances, for example, economic and other conditions, which cannot be controlled. Thus, the sale price of investments held by the Company can be higher or lower than the value of assets determined by a property appraiser.
The Company, investing into investment objects, will compete with other investors, including, without limitation, with other investment companies or real estate investment funds. Thus, there is a risk that competition with other investors will demand that the Company would conduct transactions at less favourable conditions than it would be possible in other cases.
Acquisition of Shares entails the risk to incur losses due to unfavourable changes in the Share price in the market. A drop in the price of the Shares can be caused by negative changes in the value of assets and profitability of the Company, general share market trends in the region and in the world. Trade in Shares can depend on comments of financial brokers and analysts and announced independent analyses about the Company and its activities. If the analysts give an adverse opinion about prospects of the Shares, this can also have a negative effect on the price of Shares in the market. In assessing Shares, nonprofessional investors are advised to address intermediaries of public trading or other specialists in this field for help.
Though the Company has approved its dividend payment policy, payment of dividend to Shareholders is not guaranteed and will depend on profitability of activities, investments plans and the general financial situation. For more information regarding payment of dividend by the Company please see Section 4.14.3 Dividend Policy as well as Part X of the Articles of Association, which is incorporated by reference to this Prospectus.
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 them 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 after the exclusion of the Company's Shares from the Secondary List of Nasdaq. 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.
On 29 January 2016 INVL Baltic Real Estate, CEF completed the transaction to acquire 6,400 square metres of commercial and office premises at Gyneju str. 14, Vilnius. The value of transaction amounted to EUR 7.5 million. The transaction was partially financed by Šiauliu Bankas, which granted a loan of EUR 4.5 million, and by placed new share issue. During 2016 additionally was invested EUR 450 thousand into reconstruction and arrangement of this object.
There are no significant agreements of the company which would come into force, be amended or cease to be valid if there was a change in issuer's controlling shareholder.
Information on the related parties' transactions is disclosed in consolidated annual financial statements' 25 note of explanatory notes for the year of 2016.
All data is presented in consolidated and company's financial statements' of explanatory notes for the year of 2016.
The company have not approved criteria for selection of the audit company.

| 2.1. Besides obligatory bodies provided for in the Law | No | Due to the size of the Company, it is not expedient to |
|---|---|---|
| on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania – a General | form the Supervisory Board. |
| Shareholders' Meeting and the Chief Financial Officer, it is recommended that a company should set up both a collegial supervisory body and a collegial management body. The setting up of collegial bodies for supervision and management facilitates clear separation of management and supervisory functions in the company, accountability and control on the part of the Chief Executive Officer, who, in its turn, facilitate a more efficient and transparent management process. |
||
|---|---|---|
| 2.2. A collegial management body is responsible for the strategic management of the company and performs other key functions of corporate governance. A collegial supervisory body is responsible for the effective supervision of the company's management bodies. |

N/A | The management of the Company is transferred to the Management Company. |
| 2.6.

| 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: | ||
| 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; | ||
| 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; | ||
| he/ she is not receiving or has been not receiving | ||
| significant additional remuneration from the company | ||
| or associated company other than remuneration for | ||
| the office in the collegial body. Such additional | ||
| remuneration includes participation in share options or | ||
| some other performance based pay systems; it does | ||
| not include compensation payments for the previous | ||
| office in the company (provided that such payment is | ||
| no way related with later position) as per pension plans | ||
| (inclusive of deferred compensations); | ||
| 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); | ||
| 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,
2016 ANNUAL REPORT | 126
| 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; | ||
| 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; | ||
| 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; |
||
| he/she has not been in the position of a member of | ||
| the collegial body for over than 12 years; | ||
| 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 |
No | No independency assessment and announcement |
| independence is fundamentally an issue for the | practice of the Head and the members of the Board of | |
| collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body | the Management Company is applicable in the | |
| may decide that, despite a particular member meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, |
Company. | |
| he can not be considered independent due to special | ||
| personal or company-related circumstances. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial | N/A | The Management Company do not have independent |
| body for their work and participation in the meetings of | members of the managing bodies. | |
| the collegial body, they may be remunerated from the | ||
| company's funds. The General Shareholders' Meeting | ||
| should approve the amount of such remuneration. |

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.

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.

Nevertheless the final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body.
