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, information technology (IT) and road and bridge construction infrastructure 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

The year of 2011 was the year of the recovery for Lithuanian economy - gross domestic product (GDP) grew approximately 5.9 percent which is 4.5 times faster than in 2010.

Estonian results were better – the GDP grew 7.5 percent which was the fastest growth in all European Union (EU). Latvia's results were the worst of all Baltic Countries – GDP grew only 5.2 percent. The export growth led the success in the Baltic Countries. Nevertheless, the recovery is seen in both the domestic consumption and investment. Polish GDP grew 4 percent which was the largest growth in Central Europe. The growth was due to the same reasons as in the Baltic Countries – growth of domestic consumption, exports and capital expenditures.

The bankruptcy of the bank Snoras AB which owned the assets of 8 billion litas was one of the most important events in Lithuania in 2011.

The fastest pace of economy growth in the Baltic Countries has been reached in 3rd quarter of 2011, however the situation became more complicated at the end of the year as the growth of Western European and North Countries that are the main trading with Baltic Countries slowed. Due to increased competitiveness and low salaries, export decline was avoided. Lithuanian companies which dealt with bank Snoras AB faced financing problems due to the bankruptcy of this bank.

Banks' loan portfolios in the Baltic Countries remain almost the same as in 2010. Due to slower economy growth and the bankruptcy of the bank Snoras AB, loan portfolios growth was also slower.

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.

Further to the fundamental principles of respect to human rights, employee rights, protection of environment and combating of corruption companies of Invalda AB group steadily seek enhancing public and social responsibility.

The activities of Iniciatyvos Fondas involve the organisation of different programmes designed to enhance knowledge and awareness. The priorities defined for the activities of the foundation may differ from year to year while maintaining its key principle - rather than supporting individual projects, initiate and implement larger-scale integrated projects designed to encourage individual target groups to take independent initiatives and actively contribute to the growth of the development of a responsible and sustainable society. The foundation Iniciatyvos Fondas seeks to implement different social initiatives promoting positive changes in the society.

In 2011 the goal of the programme I'LL GROW UP ACTIVE 2011, which was run by Iniciatyvos Fondas, was to draw attention to the importance of physical activity among young people. The programme aimed to shed the light on the lack of physical activity and its consequences, as well as to encourage young people to change their passive lifestyle into an active and healthy one. With the cooperation of Lithuania's schools a collective exercise was set to take place simultaneously in all the educational institutions on October 21, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. More than 116 thousand participants from 700 preschools and comprehensive schools joined the exercise.

17. Risk management

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.

We are subject to market discount risk. Shares of Invalda AB can be traded below NAV.

We have not approved dividend payment policy and established a minimum dividend payment level; therefore we cannot assure you of our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in the future.

Changes in interest rates may affect our cost of capital and net operating income and our ability to obtain additional financing.

Investment risk

Our investments in portfolio companies may be illiquid; there is a risk that we may not exit out investment when it is planned. We may exit our investments when the portfolio company has a liquidity event, such as a sale, recapitalisation or listing in the stock exchange.

Our investments in small and middle-market privately-held companies are extremely risky and in the worst case the Company could lose its entire investment.

When we are a minority equity investor in a portfolio company, we may not be in a position to control the entity, and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of our portfolio holdings.
