2. Accounting principles

2.1. Basic of preparation

These condensed interim Company's financial statements, for the period ended 31 March 2021 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 this condensed interim financial statements, this financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Company's financial statements for the year 2020, prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

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 estimated impairment loss, and available-for-sale financial assets which are carried at fair value.

These financial statements for the three-months period ended 31 March 2021 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 are audited by the external auditor UAB „PricewaterhouseCoopers“.

2.2. Adjustment of comparative figures

As at 31 March 2020 in Company's cashflow statement the decrease/(increase) in the balance of congestion management revenue was wrongly presented within cash flows from investing activities, therefore the comparatives were restated accordingly by increasing changes in other financial assets by EUR 10 317 thousand and decreasing the Decrease/increase in the balance of congestion management revenue line accordingly.

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

The main areas considered by the Company's management when assessing the effect of the coronavirus (COVID-19) are presented below.

Going concern basis

During the first wave of COVID-19 LITGRID AB reviewed and implemented additional business continuity and preventive measures: employees responsible for the monitoring of the situation and provision of information to the Company's management were appointed; business units and employees performing the critical functions and administrating the main systems were identified; additional organisational measures were implemented at the system control centers; technical and substitution measures were planned. The Company also reviewed the emergency situation management plans, developed additional documents and implementation measures: lists of the critical activities, lists of measures required to ensure the continuity of these activities, lists of resources and responsible persons as well as other documents and measures. COVID-19 had no significant impact on the Company's activities and results of operations. The Company's activities are regulated by the state authorities and it is the sole enterprise in Lithuania that provides electricity transmission services, therefore no threat arises for the Company's ability to continue its business activities.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

The management reviewed the main assumptions used for the measurement of the fair value of property, plant and equipment. The management estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic will not significantly affect the value of the Company's non-current assets because the assets are measured using the income method by applying the discounted cash flow calculation technique and the Company's activities are regulated, and possible short-term changes in services rendered and revenue are assessed and compensated in the upcoming year.

Other accounting estimates

Based on the management's estimates, at the present time the COVID-19 pandemic has no impact on trade and other amounts receivable because the main clients are the large enterprises that are often also regulated and/or included in the list of low risk companies (around 66 % of trade receivables comprise the amount receivable from Energijos Skirstymo Operatorius AB). The Company has entered into the credit insurance agreement for amounts receivable under the transmission and imbalance contracts. In addition, the participants of the imbalance market have provided the bank guarantees of the established amount or have paid deposits. At the time of preparation of the financial statements settlements were conducted as usual. There were no overdue payments arising from COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic had no impact on the repayment of the Company's borrowings as cash flows generated by the Company are sufficient to ensure the fulfilment of financial liabilities.
