The Company's shares are traded on the Baltic Secondary List of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius from 4 June 2014.
The interim condensed financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2014.
From 1 January 2015 euro is the Company's functional and presentation currency. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. Prior year comparative information is recalculated using the official litas to euro conversion ratio: 1 euro = 3.4528 litas.
The Company was created after the merger of two companies – BAIP grupe AB and INVL Technology AB (Note 3). As the Company continues activities, which allow the Company to comply with requirements of IFRS 10, applicable to investment entity, the comparative figures are provided of the former INVL Technology AB, which was merged into BAIP grupe AB.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, except adoption of new Standards and Interpretations as of 1 January 2015, noted below.
The interpretation clarifies the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the event identified by the legislation that triggers the obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically compelled to continue operating in a future period, or prepares its financial statements under the operations continuity assumption, does not create an obligation. The same recognition principles apply in interim and annual financial statements. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising from emissions trading schemes is optional. The Company is not currently subjected to significant levies so the impact on the Company is not material.
The improvements consist of changes to four standards.
The amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2015.
The Company makes estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. These estimates and judgements are continuously reviewed and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates not always reflect actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are addressed below.
The fair values of securities that are not quoted in an active market are determined by using valuation techniques, primarily of which are earnings multiples, discounted cash flows and recent comparable transactions.

The Company performs independent appraisal of the investments into subsidiaries during preparation of annual financial statements. The fair value of the investments as of 31 December 2014 was performed by Deloitte Verslo Konsultacijos UAB. Appraisal was performed using income and market approaches. Management concluded that the fair value of investments was measured properly, using reasonable data inputs and ratios, appropriately representing its investments. Fair value of investments was estimated in compliance with the International Valuation Standards set out by the International Valuation Standards Council. For income approach discounted cash flow method was used. It was based on free cash flow projections provided by the management of BAIP grupe covering a 5-year period. Free cash flows were calculated as net operating profit after tax, add-back depreciation less change in working capital and capital expenditure. Detailed disclosures are provided in annual financial statements of BAIP grupė AB and INVL technology AB (Note 3).
During preparation of interim financial statements the management of the Company assess whether cash flow projections has not changed significantly. In case such projects did not change significantly, the Company calculates fair value of investments using EBITDA multiple method, as disclosed further on, and in case of significant change adjusts value of investments. The management also assess whether financial position of the companies has not change significantly, as it might impact the final value of the investment.
Financial assets of the company INVL Technology AB measured at fair value through profit or loss comprised of directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries: BAIP UAB, Acena UAB, Informatikos pasaulis UAB, Inventio UAB, NRD group and NRD CS UAB. These assets are non-current assets and belong to Level 3 valuation technique. Main assets of Inventio UAB and Informatikos pasaulis UAB are cash at banks, thus entities were valued based on their net assets. EBITDA of NRD CS UAB was negative for the last 12 months, thus valuation was performed based on a previous value adjusted by the change in equity, because estimates of the management of the Company future cash flows did not decrease. Acena UAB valuation is based on transaction, performed after reporting period (see note 13), which was equal to EUR 412 thousand. Vitma UAB, controlling 100 percent of BAIP UAB, was valued by adding total current assets less current liabilities of Vitma UAB to the
value of BAIP UAB. Other entities, including aforementioned BAIP UAB, were valued using EBITDA (earnings before depreciation, amortisation, interest and taxes) multiple. Consolidated EBITDA for the last 12 months was used. Value derived using EBITDA multiple was adjusted by deducting difference between consolidated liabilities and current assets, subtracting calculated value of non-controlling share. Resulting amount was adjusted by 10.7 premium (used by appraisers during valuation as of 31 December 2014 as the difference between control premium and marketability discount). EBITDA multiple used is equal to 6.5. It was set as EV/EBITDA (ratio between enterprise value and EBITDA) average of comparative Scandinavian and Eastern Europe technology companies as listed below (adjusted by debt calculation method as described above):
| Entity name | EBITDA multiple |
|---|---|
| 4IG | 4.3 |

Level 2: The fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. The Company does not have financial assets or liabilities assigned to this level.
Level 3: Fair value determined by such valuation methods which use one or more of the significant inputs which are not based observable market data. Fair value of all receivables and payables as well as borrowings and financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are assigned to this level.
