According to the Heating Law of the Republic of Lithuania, the Company's activities are licensed and regulated by the State Price Regulation Commission of Energy Resources (hereinafter the Commission). On 26 February 2004 the Commission granted the Company the heat distribution license. The license has indefinite maturity, but is subject to meeting certain requirements and may be revoked based on the respective decision of the Commission. The Commission also sets price cap for the heat supply. On 12 September 2008 by the decision of the Commission, the territory in which the Company can provide heat distribution activity was re-defined, as the Company sold Paliai boiler house in Marijampole district.

The Company's generation capacity includes a power plant in PetraSiOnai, 3 district boiler-houses in Kaunas integrated network, 7 regional boiler-houses in Kaunas region, 1 regional boiler-house in Jurbarkas city, 14 isolated networks and 37 local gas burning boiler-houses in Kaunas.

2. Accounting principles

2.1. Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets that have been measured at fair value. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter EU).

2.2. Measurement and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of the Group and the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the 'functional currency'). The amounts shown in these financial statements are measured and presented in the local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, litas (LTL) which is a functional and presentation currency of the Company and its subsidiary and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

Starting from 2 February 2002, Lithuanian litas is pegged to EUR at the rate of 3.4528 litas for 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.

2.3. Principles of consolidation and business combinations

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Kauno Energija and its subsidiary. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the c6mpany. Consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the same accounting principles applied to similar transactions and other events under similar circumstances.

Subsidiaries acquired or sold during a year are included into the financial statements from the date when control is transferred to the Group until the date that control ceases. Inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profits and losses, are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiary is the company which is directly or indirectly controlled by the parent company. The control is normally evidenced when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 % of the voting rights of a company's share capital or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities. The equity and net income attributable to minority shareholders' interests are shown separately in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used for acquired businesses. The Company accounts for the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities of another company at their fair value at acquisition date. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's share in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.

The goodwill is stated at cost, less impairment losses in the financial statements and it is presented under the intangible assets caption in the consolidated financial statements Negative goodwill is recognised as income in the profit or loss for the reporting period.

The goodwill is not amortised, however the goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and impairment loss is recognised as expenses for the period, when occurred. The impairment of goodwill in future periods is not reversed.

Investments in subsidiaries

In separate financial statements of the Company investments into subsidiaries and associated companies are accounted for applying the cost method less impairment losses.

2.4. lntangible assets

lntangible assets are initially measured at cost. lntangible 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 (except for goodwill which is not amortised) and any accumulated impairment losses. lntangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Licenses

Amounts paid for licenses are capitalised and then amortised over useful life (3 - 4 years).

Software

The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years.

Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits of performance of the existing software systems are recognised as an expense for the period when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.

2.5. Accounting for emission rights

The Group and the Company apply a 'net liability' approach in accounting for the emission rights received. It records the emission allowances granted to it at nominal amount, as permitted by IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.

Liabilities for emissions are recognised only as emissions are made (i.e. provisions are never made on the basis of expected future emissions) and only when the reporting entity has made emissions in excess of the rights held.

When applying the net liability approach, the Group and the Company have chosen a system that measures deficits on the basis of an annual allocation of emission rights.

The outright sale of an emission right is recorded as a sale at the value of consideration received. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received and its carrying amount is recorded as a gain or loss, irrespective of whether this creates an actual or an expected deficit of the allowances held. When a sale creates an actual deficit an additional liability is recognised with a charge to the profit or loss.

2.6. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

When assets are sold or retired, their cost, accumulated depreciation and impairment are eliminated from the accounting records, and any gain or loss resulting from their disposal is included in the profit or loss.

The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the profit or loss in the period the costs are incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Years
Buildings 7 - 50
Structures and machinery 5 - 70
Vehicles 3- 10
Equipment and tools 2 - 20

The useful lives are reviewed annually to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items in property, plant and equipment. Depreciation periods were revised as of 1 September 2008, as further described in Note 2.22.

Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and put into operation.

2.7. Financial instruments

According to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial assets or financial liabilities desiqnated at fair value throuah profit or loss

The category 'a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss' includes financial assets classified as held for trading. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are derivatives or are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognised in the profit (loss) for the period.

Held-to-maturity investments

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group and the Company have the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, Investments that are intended to be held-to-maturity are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit (loss) for the period when the investments are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in the profit (loss) for the period when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses (except impairment and gain or losses from foreign currencies exchange) being recognised in other comprehensive income until the investment is derecognised or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in other comprehensive income is included in the profit (loss) for the period.

The fair value of investments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such technique includes using recent arm's length market transactions; reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.

2.8. Derivative financial instruments

The Group and the Company uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge its interest rate risks. Such derivative financial Instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year are taken directly to the profit (loss) for the period if they do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by the reference to market values for similar instruments,

2.9. lnventories

lnventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, firstout (FIFO) method. Unrealisable inventory is written off.

2.10. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand, cash at banks and cash in transit. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash with banks, cash in transit, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments.

2.11. Employee benefits

Lona-term employee benefits

Each employee of the Group and the Company is entitled to 1 - 6 months salary payment when leaving the job at or after the start of the pension period according to Lithuanian legislation and the conditions of the collective bargaining agreement. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of long-term employee benefits is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each balance sheet date in accordance to actuarial assumptions using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms of maturity approximating to the terms of the related liability.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the incomelexpense in the caption "Salaries and social security" and no "corridor" is applied. All past service costs are recognised immediately.

Other emplovee benefits

Wages, salaries, contributions to the state social insurance funds, vacation and sick leave are accrued in the year in which the employees provide their services to the Group and the Company.

2.12. Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, less the costs of transaction. They are subsequently carried at amortised cost, the difference between the value at the inception and redemption value being recognised in the net profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using effective interest rate method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group and Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet.

Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Since 2009 1 January borrowing costs that are directly associated with assets that are up for sale or use of long duration, acquisition, construction or production, are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

2.13. Finance and operating leases - the Group and the Company as lessor

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Finance lease

Leases where the Group and the Company transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as finance leases. The Group and the Company recognise lease receivables at the value equal to the net investment in the lease, starting from the date of commencement of the lease term. Finance income is based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding. Initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of the lease receivables.

Oueratinq lease

Leases where the G~OUD and the Com~anv does not transfer substantiallv all the risks and benefits of owners hi^ of the asset are classified as dperating lease;. ~ie Group and the Company presents assets subject to operating lease's in the balance sheets according to the nature of the asset. Lease income from operating leases is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term as other income. Initial direct costs incurred specifically to earn revenues from an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset.

The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with the Group's and the Company's depreciation policy for similar assets and depreciation is calculated in accordance with the accounting policies, used for the property, plant and equipment.

2.14. Operating leases -the Group and the Company as lessee

Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The gains from discounts provided by the lessor are recognised as a decrease in lease expenses over the period of the lease using the straight-line method.

If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The profit is then deferred and amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.

2.15. Grants (deferred income)

Grants received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of noncurrent assets are considered as asset-related grants. Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. 'The amount of the grants related to assets is recognized as deferred income and is credited to profit or loss in equal annual amounts over the expected useful life of related asset. In the statement of comprehensive income, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation. Assets received free of charge are initially recognised at fair value.

Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.

The balance of unutilised grants is shown in the caption "Grants (deferred income)" in the balance sheet.

2.16. lncome tax

lncome tax charge comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised based on profit for the year considering deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the Lithuanian tax legislation.

The current income tax is based on taxable pre-tax profit for the year, excluding the items of income or expense that are not taxable or deductable. The tax rates used to compute the income tax expenses are those that are enacted by the balance sheet date. In 2009 the income tax rate in Lithuania was 20 % (15% in 2008). Starting 1 January 2010 a new tax rate of 15% is to be applied.

Tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities andlor derivative financial instruments. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the Company changes its activities due to which these losses incurred except when the Group and the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not

depend on the Group and the Company itself. The losses from disposal of securities andlor 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.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences and tax loss carried forward. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets have been recognised in the balance sheet to the extent the Group's and the Company's management believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.

2.17. Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary registered shares issued. Provided that the number of shareholders changes without causing a change in the economical resources, the weighted average of ordinary registered shares is adjusted in proportion to the change in the number of shares as if this change took place at the beginning of the previous period presented. Since there are no instruments reducing earnings per share, there is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share.

2.18. Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.

Revenue from sales of heat energy is recognised based on the bills issued to residential and other customers for heating and heating-up of cold water. The customers are billed monthly according to the readings of heat meters.

Late payment interest income from overdue receivables is recognised upon receipt.

2.19. Expense recognition

Expenses are recognised on the basis of accrual and revenue and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring income during the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.

The amount of expenses is usually accounted for as the amount paid or due, excluding VAT. In those cases when a long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses is estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.

2.20. Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are recognised in the profit or loss. Such balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at period-end exchange rates.

2.21. Impairment of assets

Financial assets

Financial assets are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, whenever it is probable that the Group and the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, an impairment or bad debt loss is recognised through an allowance account in the profit or loss. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognised is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be justified by an event occurring after the write-down. Such reversal is recorded in the profit or loss. However, the increased carrying amount is only recognised to the extent it does not exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss. Reversals in respect of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not recognised in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses on debt instruments are reversed through profit or loss; if the increase in fair value of the instrument can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss.

In relation to trade and other receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group and the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognised when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Other assets

Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. Reversal is accounted for in the same caption of the statement of comprehensive income as impairment losses.

2.22. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies, at the reporting date. 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.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet 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 discussed below.

Propetfy, plant and equipment - useful life

The key assumptions concerning determination the useful life of property, plant and equipment are as follows: expected usage of the asset, expected physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in the services, legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of related leases.

Change in accounting estimate

The Group and the Company has considered the actual useful life of property, plant and equipment and increased depreciation period for the heating connections from 20 years to 30 years and for the heating stations from 10 years to 15 years. If the Group and the Company would continue using 20 and 10 years depreciation period, depreciation expenses for 12 months of the year 2010 would be higher by LTL 3.771 thousand and property plant and equipment balance as at 31 December, 2010 would be lower by LTL 9.844 thousand (depreciation expenses for the year 2009 would be higher by LTL 4,473 thousand and property plant and equipment balance as at 31 December, 2009 would be lower by LTL 6,073 thousand).

Impairment of non-financial assets

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. Change in accouting estimate.

For evaluation of impairment of assets the entire Group and Company was considered as a cash generating unit as of 31 December 2008. As at 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009 there were two cash generating units in the Group and the Company, as manifolds received as a contribution in kind from the shareholders in 2009 are used not only in the activity of the Company but also in the activities of other companies providing utility and communication services for a separate fee and, therefore, are treated as a separate cash generating unit.

Carrying value of non-current assets received as a contribution in kind

In 2009 for a new shares issue manifolds in Kaunas city were received as a contrinbution in-kind. Market value of assets estimated upon their transfer by local independent qualified valuers using depreciated replacement costs method amounted to LTL 136 mln, however, it was not subject to adequate profitability test as required by International Valuation Standards. Value in use of assets received as a contribution in kind estimated using future discounted cashflows approximates LTL 23 mln as at 31 December 2009. Significant difference between values of assets estimated using depreciated replacement costs method and using discounted future cash flows indicate that depreciated replacement cost method may not be a reliable estimate of fair value of these assets. However, management has no information available about possible fair value of these non-current assets determined using other valuation methods.

Allowances for accounts receivable

The Group and the Company makes allowances for doubtful accounts receivable. Significant judgment is used to estimate doubtful accounts. In estimating doubtful accounts historical and anticipated customer performance are considered. Changes in the economy, industry, or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the financial statements.

Deferred Tax Asset

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

Litigations

On 17 February 2010 Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration finalised the hearing the civil case concerning the performance of the investment agreement concluded between the Company and the private company UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine (Kaunas Power Plant) and passed the ruling in favour of the Company ordering UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine to pay to the Company a fine of LTL 5,420 thousand and interest on this amount as well as a compensation of a part of litigation costs. UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine has placed a complaint to Lithuanian Court of appeal regarding this decision. The Court of Appeal denied this appeal by it's ruling from 19 October 2010 and has left the ruling of the Court of Commercial Arbitration unchanged. On 22 October 2010 the Company applied to Vilnius 2 parish Court in order to get the receiving-order for recovering of awarded sums but the ligitation regarding the jurisdiction of this appeal is still in progress and a final date of ruling is still not set. Meanwhile on 08 November 2010 UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine has applied a cassation complaint to the Lithuanian Supreme Court regarding a repeal of rulings of the Commercial Arbitration and of the Court of appeal. On 11 November 2010 this cassation complaint was registered in the trial docket but the date of the ligitation is still not set. As of 31 December 2010 the accumulation of awarded sum has not been made in financial statements of the Group and the Company, because the income from fines and from interest is shown in those statements only when it is paid-in.

2.23. Segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief-operating decisionmaker. 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.

'The activities of the Group and the Company are organised in one operating segment therefore futher information on segments has not been disclosed in these financial statements.

2.24. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.25. Subsequent events

Post-balance sheet events that provide additional information about the Group's and the Company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post-balance sheet events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.26. Offsetting and comparative figures

When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain IFRS specifically require such set-off.

Comparative figures have been adjusted to correspond to the presentation of the current year where necessary.

3. Intangible assets

Amortisation expenses of intangible assets are included in the operating expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.

Part of the non-current intangible assets of the Group and the Company with the acquisition cost of LTL 3.177 thousand as of 31 December 2010 (LTL 2.782 thousand as of 31 December 2009) were fully amortised but were still in active use.

Property, plant and equipment

The depreciation charge of the Group's and Company's property, plant and equipment for 31 December 2010 amounts to LTL 16.724 thousand and LTL 11.950 thousand, respectively (LTL 16.965 thousand and LTL 16.798 thousand in 2009). The amounts of LTL 15.166 thousand and LTL 15.096 thousand (LTL 16.024 thousand and LTL 15.856 thousand for the year 2009), respectively, were included into operating expenses in the Group's and the Company's statement of comprehensive income. The remaining amounts were included into other expenses caption.

Part of the property, plant and equipment of the Company with acquisition cost of LTL 87.212 thousand were fully depreciated as of 31 December 2010 (LTL 78.905 thousand as of 31 December 2009) but were still in active use.

As of 31 December 2010 and of 31 December 2009 the major part of the Group's and Company's construction in progress consisted of reconstruction works.

As of 31 December 2010 property, plant and equipment of the Group and the Company with the net book value of LTL 123.319 thousand (LTL 114.153 thousand as of 31 December 2009) was pledged to banks as a collateral for loans (Note 11).

*- external credit ratings set by Fitch Ratings agency.

The Group and the Company do not guarantee obligations of the other parties in 2010.

With respect to trade receivables and other receivables that are neither impaired nor past due, there are no indications as of the reporting date that the debtors will not meet their payments obligations since receivables balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group and the Company consider that their maximum exposure to credit risk is reflected by the amount of trade receivables and other receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts recognised at the balance sheet date.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group and the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial investments, 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.

Interest rate risk

The entire Group's and the Company's borrowings are at variable interest rates, therefore the Group and the Company faces an interest rate risk. In 2008 and 2009 to manage variable rate risk the Company has entered into interest rate swaps agreements, in which the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts as described in Note 16, calculated by the reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (increase and decrease in basis points was determined based on Lithuanian economic environment and the Group's and the Company's historical experience), 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.

Li~uidity 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 overdrafts and committed credit facilities to meet its commitments at a given date in accordance with its strategic plans. The Group's liquidity (total current assets I total current liabilities) and quick ((total current assets - inventories) I total current liabilities) ratios as of 31 December 2010 were 0,93 and 0,88 respectively (1.04 and 0.97 as of 31 December 2009). The Company's liquidity and quick ratios as of 31 December 2010 were 0,94 and 0,88, respectively (1.05 and 0.97 as of 31 December 2009).

The Group and the Company expects to overcome liquidity issues implementing the following action plan:

(1) The price effective from 1 December 2008 and the price effective from 1 June 2009 include costs for fuel and heat energy purchased that were actually incurred during the previous period but not yet covered. From 1 October 2009, the heat price for consumers is calculated using two components. A constant component of the heat price remains unchanged for the period during which the recalculated heat price is valid. Only a variable component changes depending on changes in fuel prices thus allowing the Company to reduce possible losses in case of rise in fuel prices.

(2) The Company attempts to receive part of investments funds from the EU Structural Funds. The Company has submitted 9 projects, the support for three of them (50 % of the cost of the project, but not more than LTL 6 million) was received in 2009 as described in note 13;

(3) Non-priority investments are suspended;

(4), implementation of production and transfer loss reduction plan.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company's principal financial instruments accounted for at amortised cost are trade and other current and non-current receivables, trade and other payables, long-term and short-term borrowings. The net book value of these amounts is similar to their fair value.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in forced or liquidation sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

  • (a) The carrying amount of current trade accounts receivable, current trade accounts payable, other receivables and other payables and current borrowings approximate their fair value.
  • (b) The fair value of trade and other payables, long-term and short-term borrowings is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available for borrowings with the same maturity profile. The fair value of non-current borrowings with variable and fixed interest rates approximates their carrying amounts.

23. Commitments and contingencies

The Company participates as a third part in the administrative litigation regarding the UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine complaint on the Commission decree "On the UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrine heat production base price fixing" annulment on 24 October 2008. KTE claims that the heat production price, calculated on 30 June 2003 according to the terms of Heat energy purchase and sales agreement, should continue to be applied, not the revised price determined by the Commission. Based on the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, decrees of the courts of the Republic of Lithuania and responses of Kaunas city municipality and the Commission, the Company believes that the Heating Law of the Republic of Lithuania which came into force on 1 January 2008 prevails over the Heat energy purchase and sales agreement signed on 30 June 2003 by the Company and KTE, therefore the possibility that the claim will be set by KTE is remote and no provision related to this possible case was recognized in the Group's and the Company's financial statements. At the date of issuance of these financial statements all claims were rejected by Vilnius County Court and KTE appealed against these decisions. The Lithuanian Supreme Administrative Court investigated all of the claims and rejected it.

On 30 June 2003 the Company has signed the agreement with KTE for an investment plan. As KTE fails to fulfil obligations assumed with regard to the amount of investments in due time and according to this agreement KTE is committed the pay to

the Company a fine of CrL 17.7 million of the amount of unimplemented investments, the parties initiated negotiations with the purpose of amending the investment agreement and the term of investments. As at 31 December 2009, an agreement acceptable to both parties regarding the amendment of the investment agreement was not reached. The dispute over the amount of LTL 17.7 million is being solved in the Arbitration Court at the Association International Chamber of Commerce - Lithuania. The Arbitration Court accepted the Company's claim and commenced the arbitral proceedings. The decision adopted in these proceedings is described in Note 2.22.
