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

14. An objective review of the Issuer's and its group companies position, their performance and business development

14.1. Goals, philosophy and management principles

What is Invalda AB?

Invalda AB is one of the major Lithuanian investment companies whose primary objective is to steadily increase the investor equity value. For the purpose of attainment of this objective Invalda AB actively manages its investments, exercising control or significant influence over target businesses.

Invalda AB started the activity in 1991. Its equities have been traded on the NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Exchange since 1995.

Currently, Invalda AB group key entities operate in the furniture manufacturing, real estate, facilities management, agricultural and information technology (IT) sectors.

In respect of each business Invalda AB defines its performance objectives, sets up the management team, participates in the development of the business strategy and monitors its implementation. We play an active role in passing decisions on strategic and other important issues that have an effect upon the value of the group companies.

Investment philosophy

We are investors driven by shareholder value creation objectives. We seek to acquire competitive businesses that, with an influx of additional capital or management resources, may successfully further develop organically, consolidate fragmented markets or provide other possibilities to increase value. We also invest into undervalued assets that, when restructured, may facilitate significant value increase. We never avoid any complex business opportunities supported by our belief that our efforts will lead to good results.

We believe that a merge of different competences may potentially appreciate the investment value therefore quite often we execute transactions in cooperation with our partners, among them people with ideas, also major Lithuanian business groups, as well as foreign investment funds.

With a view to maximising the investment potential to its full scale we normally pursue long-term prospects and do not seek to define any clear-cut withdrawal horizons. We focus our efforts to maximise the investment value in the long-term perspective, and offer business for sale only when they are properly prepared and become attractive to potential buyers, or having received any proposal matching the corporate future prospects.

Management principles

Invalda AB is proactively managing its investment guided by the following principles:

  • Competitiveness and independence. Each business of the group must be competitive and self-sufficient, have professional teams and top managers capable of creating business visions and implementing ambitious objectives;
  • Risk segregation. Invalda AB does not grant guarantees or assume any obligations in respect of individual businesses, and individual businesses do not assume any obligations in respect of each other.
  • Diversification. We diversify our investment in order to avoid any excessive risk concentration in homogeneous business sectors.
  • Transparency. We disclose information in adherence to the requirement that market participants must get equivalent information at the same time, except such cases where the publication of the information is not possible because of the obligations assumed in respect of third parties, and/or the disclosure may adversely affect the businesses' ability to compete.
  • Avoidance of conflicts of interest. Managers of the group companies do not participate in competing activities.

14.2. Operational environment

2012 was a successful year for Lithuanian economy. After a very robust 2011 GDP recovery when it was growing at an incredible 5.9 percent, another solid year is bound to follow. It is forecasted that Lithuanian GDP can grow at 3.5 - 4.0 percent in 2012.

Other Baltic states have also moved forward although their growth rate, as in the Lithuanian case, has slowed down considerably. It is expected that Estonian GDP growth in 2012 will reach almost 3.0 percent, while Latvia can see its GDP growth at 4.5 percent. Although a much weaker result was forecasted at the start of the year, the analysts have upgraded their estimates due to stronger export growth, recovering internal consumption and investments. Neighbouring Poland is forecasted to grow its economy by 2.5 percent.

Baltic States' economy growth should slow down because of sluggish economic situation in euro zone which should dampen the export demand; however, this should be counterbalanced by a recovering domestic consumer demand and investments. A slump in exports to Western Europe should be softened by a higher post-crisis Baltic States' industry competitiveness and slow wage growth which is pinned down by large unemployment. Still prevailing very low interest rates and a much more stable consumers' balance sheet could pave way for an increase in credit portfolio, which was hurt in the past few years by the bankruptcy of bankas Snoras AB and nationalisation of Ukio bankas AB.

A recovering Lithuanian economy has also breathed some life into merger and acquisition market, although 2012 was not as active by deal value as 2011.

14.3. Significant events, tasks and investments accomplished in 2012

The Company

  • In January, 2012, Invalda AB sold 29.27 percent of shares of the metal processing company Umega AB. Shares sold for the 3.7 million litas. The transaction should have a preliminary positive effect of approximately 2 million litas in the consolidated statements.
  • The Company received the notification from the bondholders indicating that the bondholders decided to exercise their right to convert bonds to shares of Invalda AB. The conversion of 32.44 million litas resulted into the increase of the share capital of Invalda AB by 5.898 million litas up to 57.558 million litas.

The conversion price of new shares was 5.5 litas per share. After the conversion the bondholders had the obligation to pay back 4.788 million litas interest paid according to the conditions of the bond issue. The accrued interest as of March 30, 2012 in the amount of 2.376 million litas was not payable to the bondholders.

Invalda AB issued convertible 25 million litas par value bonds on December 1, 2008. These bonds were acquired by RB finansai UAB. Another convertible 7.44 million litas par value bond issue was issued on January 30, 2010 which was sold to DIM Investment UAB. The annual interest rate for both bond issues was 9.9 percent, maturity date – July 2, 2012 (in case the bonds are not converted at earlier date). After the conversion RB finansai UAB got 7.9 percent of Invalda AB shares and DIM Investment UAB – 2.35 percent.

Invalda AB is completely debt free after the completion of the bond conversion. The Company will continue to adhere to the prudent borrowing policy.

  • Invalda AB shareholders approved the results for the year 2011 and formed a reserve of 269.1 million litas for the share buy-back. Taking into consideration the passed resolutions the Board of Invalda AB decided to acquire up to 10 per cent of shares of the Company, paying for each of them 10.358 litas. The share buy-back program lasted until May 15. After the program Invalda AB acquired 10 percent of Invalda AB shares for 59.6 million litas. The amount of proposed for sale shares was higher than the amount to be acquired, therefore each selling shareholder sold 14.47 percent of shares. As own shares of the Company do not have voting rights, the shares of Invalda AB with voting rights total to 51,802,146.
  • Indre Miseikyte, 41 years old, was elected to the Board by the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting of April 30, 2012. On April 06, 2012 Dalius Kaziunas resigned from the Board and now he is the President of Invalda AB.

The Sectors

Furniture manufacturing sector

In the furniture manufacturing sector Invalda AB controls Vilniaus Baldai AB. This company produces flat-pack furniture and sells almost all its production to the Swedish concern IKEA.

In 2012, sales of Vilniaus baldai AB amounted to 230.14 million litas or 3.5 percent less than in 2011 (238.37 million litas). Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) reached 34.78 million litas (in 2011 - 36.10 million litas). Having eliminated the influence of one-off costs in 2012, EBITDA totalled to 37.78 million litas and exceeded the EBITDA of 2011 by 2.4 percent (36.9 million litas). In 2012, the company earned a net profit of 26.84 million litas (in 2011 - 26.81 million litas).

In 2012 the market of raw materials remained stable, while due to improvement in production process, the company managed to use raw materials more effectively, increasing the gross margin by 1 percent, and reducing production costs even under higher labour costs. In 2012, average gross wages were 7 percent higher than in 2011, while labour efficiency grew by almost 14 percent.

Lower sales were caused by changes in product portfolio that had started in 4th quarter of 2012. Within the period between the 4th quarter of 2012 and 1st and 2nd quarters of 2013, the company intends to change approximately 50 percent of product portfolio. The company will cease production of various structure shelves that have been included into product range so far, and launch production of children's furniture, writing-desks and other new products. New production items are more elaborate, they require more sophisticated production technologies, and will provide higher added value. All this is the evidence of high degree of Vilniaus baldai AB competitiveness.

In order to be able to manufacture new production and ensure required volumes, the company has embarked on a series of reforms: new equipment was introduced and advanced technologies implemented, while planned investments in technological equipment to be made in 2012-2013 will amount to approximately 27 million litas. In connection with the changes above, labour process will change as well. In the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2013, the company will concentrate its production operations in the main factory and increase a number of work shifts there (the other factory will be rearranged in terms of technical equipment, and this would not be possible to execute when operation takes place). From September 2013 Vilniaus baldai AB will be operating in usual conditions.

In connection with the abovementioned changes, the Company does not predict that sales of 2012 will be achieved in 2013 but still expects to be profitable and preserve all jobs.

Vilniaus baldai AB exports all its production, which is purchased by Swedish concern IKEA.

Invalda AB is an investment company which main profit comes from the sale of businesses. Due to this reason, not all Company performance indicators are suitable for Invalda AB evaluation. Furthermore, some of investments are recorded at acquisition price in financial reports which is signally different from the market price. That is why some relative valuation measures can not show the real situation of the Company.

17.1. A description of the principal risks and uncertainties

Business risks

Activities of Invalda AB are influenced by overall economic situation of countries of activity.

Invada AB is also dependent on its main managers – their loss could have a negative effect on activities of the Company and some of business opportunities could be lost.

Our returns may be substantially lower than the average returns historically realized by the private equity industry as a whole because historical results do not show the future performance.

Economic recessions or downturns could impair our portfolio companies and harm our operating results. We may not realize gains from our equity investments. The equity interests we invest in may not appreciate in value and, in fact, may decline in value.

Our ability to use our capital loss carry forwards may be subject to limitations. Changes in the law or regulations that govern us could have a material impact on our business. Change in taxes and change in regulation of sectors, which are dependent on governmental funding or are regulated by the government, could have negative consequences on our business.

Company's and group's results may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future performance.

The trading price of our stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of the stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

¹² Green Protocol is an initiative created by electricity distribution network operator in Lithuania (LESTO). Any kind of organizations that signs this agreement, confirms that they agree with LESTO ideas how to save electricity and to reduce CO2 which creates greenhouse effect. Companies motivate their employees, colleagues and relatives to promote the idea to create electricity saving society.

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:

Invalda

as defined in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part 1);
5) he/she does not have and did not have any material business relations with the company or associated companies within the past year directly or as a partner, shareholder, director or superior employee of the subject having such relationship. A subject is considered to have business relations when it is a major supplier or service provider (inclusive of financial, legal, counselling and consulting services), major client or organization receiving significant payments from the company or its group;
6) he/she is not and has not been, during the last three years, partner or employee of the current or former external audit company of the company or associated companies;
7) he/she is not an executive director or member of the Board in some other company where executive director of the company or member of the Board (if a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting is the Supervisory Board) is non-executive director or member of the Supervisory Board, he/she may not also have any other material relationships with executive directors of the company that arise from their participation in activities of other companies or bodies;

9) he/she is not a close relative to an executive director or member of the Board (if a collegial body elected by the General Shareholders' Meeting is the Supervisory Board) or to any person listed in above items 1 to 8. Close relative is considered to be a spouse (common-law spouse), children and parents.
3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to determine. The collegial body may decide that, despite a particular member meets all the criteria of independence laid down in this Code, he can not be considered independent due to special personal or company-related circumstances.
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 No No Board members' independency assessment and announcement practice is applicable in the Company.

Therefore when the mentioned issues are attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is recommended that the collegial body should establish Nomination, Remuneration, and Audit Committees. Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to the Nomination, Remuneration, and Audit Committees are carried out. However they may decide to merge these functions and set up less than three committees. In such case a company should explain in detail reasons behind the selection of alternative approach and how the selected approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three different committees. Should the collegial body of the company comprise small number of members, the functions assigned to the three committees may be performed by the collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition requirements advocated for the committees and that adequate information is provided in this respect. In such case provisions of this Code relating to the committees of the collegial body (in particular with respect to their role, operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a whole.
4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase efficiency of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring that decisions are based on due consideration, and to help organize its work with a view to ensuring that the decisions it takes are free of material conflicts of interest. Committees should exercise independent judgment and integrity when exercising its functions as well as present the collegial body with recommendations concerning the decisions of the collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall be adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on creation of committees is not intended, in principle, to constrict the competence of the collegial body or to remove the matters considered from the purview of the collegial body itself, which remains fully responsible for the decisions taken in its field of competence.
4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should normally be composed of at least three members. In companies with small number of members of the collegial body, they could exceptionally be composed of two members. Majority of the members of each committee should be constituted from independent members of the collegial body. In cases when the Company chooses not to set up a Supervisory Board, Remuneration and Audit Committees should be entirely comprised of non-executive directors. Chairmanship and membership of the committees should be decided with due regard to the need to ensure that committee

membership is refreshed and that undue reliance is not placed on particular individuals.

4.11.
