2. Accounting principles

2.1. Basis of preparation

These condensed interim Company's financial statements, for the period ended 30 September 2020 are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial statements (IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting").

In order to better understand the data presented in these condensed interim financial statements, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated and the Company's financial statements for the year 2019, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

These condensed interim financial statements are a stand-alone Company's condensed interim financial information, as at 30 September 2020 the Company had no subsidiaries.

The presentation currency is euro. These financial statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless otherwise stated.

The financial year of the Company coincides with the calendar year.

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for property, plant and equipment which is recorded at revalued amount, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, and available-for-sale financial assets which are carried at fair value.

These financial statements for the nine-months period ended 30 September 2020 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 are audited by the external auditor UAB Deloitte Lietuva.

2.2. Adjustment of comparative figures

Due to the changed accounting of land lease in the Company, the comparative figures of the comprehensive income and cash flow statements for 2019 have been adjusted. In the statement of comprehensive income, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by EUR 34 thousand, other expenses decreased by EUR 55 thousand, finance costs increased by EUR 47 thousand, net profit decreased by EUR 26 thousand. In the cash flow statement, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by EUR 34 thousand, interest expenses increased by EUR 47 thousand, payment of lease liabilities increased by EUR 55 thousand. The cash flow statement also reclassified the comparative figures for congestion management revenue for 2019: Changes in other financial assets decreased by EUR 2 190 thousand, Decrease (increase) in congestion management revenue balance increased by EUR 2 190 thousand.

3. The impact of COVID-19 on key accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting policies applied, the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant management's judgements regarding the application of accounting policies and the main sources for estimation uncertainties used in the preparation of these interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those as was used in preparing the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for those accounting estimates for which the uncertainty has increased as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic:

Business continuity

Considering the state-level emergency in Lithuania due to the threat of the coronavirus (COVID-19), business continuity and preventative measures were reviewed and implemented by LITGRID AB: responsible personnel for monitoring the situation and providing information to the Company's management has been appointed; units and personnel performing critical functions and administering the key systems have been identified; additional organizational measures at system control centres are being applied; technical and replacement measures in case of the further spread of the virus have been planned. The Company also reviewed emergency management plans, the prepared additional documentation and implemented a number of measures lists of critical activities, lists of resources needed to keep those activities going, lists of resources and people in charge, as well as other documents and measures. The first wave of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on Companies operations or financial results. At the reporting date, the impact of the second wave COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations cannot yet be reliably assessed, however, considering the fact that the first wave did not have a material impact and that the Company is a regulated company, the sole provider of electricity transmission services in Lithuania, there is no threat to the Company's business continuity.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Management has reviewed the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. Management estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic will not have a material impact on the Company's property, plant and equipment as the assets are measured using the discounted cash flow method and the Company's operations are regulated and possible shortterm changes in services and income are assessed and compensated in the following years.

Other accounting estimates

Management estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic does not currently affect trade and other receivables, as the main clients are large companies, which are often also regulated and / or are considered to be low risk companies (about 80% of trade receivables are receivables from AB " Energijos skirstymo operatorius"). The Company has in place a credit insurance contract for receivables under transmission and imbalance agreements. In addition, imbalance market participants have provided flatrate bank guarantees or paid their deposits. At the time of reporting, settlements/collecting of payments were on agreed terms, there were no delays due to COVID-19.

In the opinion of the management, there is no risk for the repayment of the loans granted to UAB TETAS, as UAB TETAS is a company of the EPSO-G UAB group. UAB TETAS repaid a loan of Eur 1.2 million on 23 October 2020 as per loan agreement dated 25 October 2017.

The COVID-19 pandemic does not affect the repayment of loans received by the Company, as the cash flows generated by the Company are more than sufficient to ensure the fulfilment of financial obligations.

There are short-term borrowing facilities available with the EPSO-G.

Due to the effects of the pandemic, the Company's revenue may decline in 2020 as a result of reduced electricity consumption. However, restrictions did not significantly affect the volumes of power transmission services during the quarantine. In addition, in the long term, the price regulation mechanism provides for loss of revenue during the calendar year to be offset in future periods.

The Company operates in one of the most strategic and secure sectors of the state. The services provided by the Company are indispensable and operate on the regulated monopoly principle.

Support of a maximum intensity of 75% is granted for the most important and already started synchronization projects. Eur 493 million has been allocated for the construction of the Lithuanian-Polish maritime connection Harmony Link. The support for the installation of synchronous compensators in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – Eur 166.5 million., the rest of the support is for the modernization and development of networks required for the integration of the Harmony Link connection.
