2. Accounting principles
2.1. Basis of preparation
These condensed interim Company's financial statements, for the period ended 31 December 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 31 December 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 period ended 31 December 2020 are not audited. Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 are audited by the external auditor UAB Deloitte Lietuva.
3. Significant 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 used in preparing the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the ones listed below:
3.1. The impact of COVID-19 on key accounting estimates and assumptions
Key areas considered as part of COVID-19 impact assessment:
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. During the second quarantine (November-December) the amount of electricity transmitted was 2.2% higher compared to the same period last year. Considering the fact that the Company is a regulated company and 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
Litgrid
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All amounts in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated)
assets are measured using the discounted cash flow method and the Company's operations are regulated and possible short-term 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 74% of trade receivables are receivables from Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB). The Company has in place a credit insurance contract for receivables under transmission and imbalance agreements. In addition, imbalance market participants have provided flat-rate 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 loan granted to TETAS UAB, as TETAS UAB is a company of the EPSO-G UAB group.
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 group.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on Company's revenue. During the second quarantine (November-December) the amount of electricity transmitted was 2.2% higher compared to the same period last year. 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.
3.2. Adjustment of the provision for statutory servitudes
31 December 2018 The Company recognised intangible assets and provision of EUR 2,300 thousand in relation to 'Statutory servitudes' which give the right to use the land lots of the third parties based on servitudes with equipped electrical networks and equipment. The amount of provision was estimated on the basis of available information on servitudes used and expected compensation amount, which was discounted using 2.24% discount rate.
On 8 July 2020 The Constitutional Court published a ruling which states that certain parts of methodology used to calculate compensation payment in relation to statutory servitudes (specifically in relation to application of coefficient and determination of the value of the land plots) are in conflict with the Constitution and other laws. The ruling is only applicable for the future and there is no need to recalculated the compensations paid previously. The Company, taking into account the ruling of the Constitutional Court, recalculated the provision for compensation of statutory servitudes by applying a coefficient of 0.5 to 1/3 of the plots with the power lines built since 11 March 1990 until 10 July 2004. The Company also revised the applicable discount rate and applied a discount rate of 0.62%. The Company has adjusted its intangible assets and related provision by EUR 165 thousand accordingly.
