Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas

Report on the Separate Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements (hereinafter "the financial statements") of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas (hereinafter "the Company"), which comprise the separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, as set out on pages 5-40.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Company code: VAT code:

111494971 LT114949716

Opinion

In our opinion, the separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the unconsolidated financial position of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas as at 31 December 2015, and of its unconsolidated financial performance and its unconsolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 31 of the financial statements, which describes that low oil and gas prices, geopolitical tensions and ongoing international sanctions worsened Russia's economy performance in 2015, which together with other events described in Note 31 may have an adverse effect on the performance and financial position of the Company. Currently, the extent of such effect cannot be estimated. Therefore, significant uncertainty exists that future business development in Russia may differ from the management's assessments.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Furthermore, we have read the annual report of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas for the year ended 31 December 2015, set out on pages 41-92 of the financial statements, and have not identified any material inconsistencies between the financial information included in the annual report and the separate financial statements of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Notes

1. Reporting entity

AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas (hereinafter "the Company") was established in 1957. The entity's code is 147732969 and it is registered at P. Puzino 1, LT-35173 Panevėžys, the Republic of Lithuania. The ordinary registered shares of the Company have been on the Official Trading List of the Vilnius Stock Exchange (VSE) since 13 July 2006. The Company primarily is involved in construction of buildings, plant, equipment as well as other facilities and networks, etc. in Lithuania and abroad. The Company employed 783 employees as at 31 December 2015 (855 employees as at 31 December 2014).

The Company has the following branches in Lithuania: Genranga, Gerbusta, Pastatų Apdaila, Klaipstata, Stogas, Betonas and Konstrukcija. The Company also has a branch in Kaliningrad (Russia) and permanent establishments in the Republic of Latvia and the Kingdom of Sweden.

The main shareholders of the Company are:

  • AB Panevėžio Keliai (49.78%);
  • Swedbank AS (Estonia) clients (6.55%);
  • Freely negotiable shares (43.67%).

These financial statements are the Company's separate financial statements. The Company also prepares consolidated financial statements for the Company and its subsidiaries. Details of subsidiary companies are disclosed in Note 15.

The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not approve them and require Management to prepare a new set of financial statements.

2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter IFRSs).

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings within property, plant and equipment and investment property, which are measured using the revaluation model. The Board is responsible for issuing separate financial statements.

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in the national currency euro, which is the Company's functional currency.

On 1 January 2015 the Republic of Lithuania joined the eurozone and the Lithuanian national currency litas was replaced by the euro. As a result, AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas converted its financial accounting to euros as from 1 January 2015. The financial statements for the current year were prepared and presented in euro. The comparative information of the previous financial year was converted into euro using the official exchange rate of LTL 3.4528 to EUR 1.

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgement in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • Note 11 deferred taxes recognition;
  • Note 12 fair value of land and buildings, useful lives of property, plant and equipment;
  • Note 15 measurement of recoverable amounts of investments;
  • Note 18 impairment of trade receivables, construction contract revenue;
  • Note 24 measurement of warranty provision;
  • Note 14 fair value of investment property.

3. Significant accounting policies

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate by the European Central Bank ruling at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognized in statement of financial position. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-derivative financial instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. The Company has no held-tomaturity investments, available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with maturities of less than 3 months.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus (except for instruments stated at fair value through profit or loss) any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are measured as described below.

Non-derivative financial instruments (continued)

Financial instruments are recognized on the trade date. Financial assets are derecognized if the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Company transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognized if they expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets and are not quoted in an active market. They are included into current assets except for maturities greater than 12 months. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses, if any. Current receivables are not discounted.

Loans and borrowings and other financial liabilities, including trade payables, are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Current liabilities are not discounted.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company has no derivative financial instruments.

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment except for land and buildings are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Land and buildings are carried at revalued amount which is their fair value as at the revaluation date less subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from their fair values as at reporting date. The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified independent real estate appraisers. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The revaluation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land and buildings each year and is transferred directly to retained earnings.

In case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of the assets exceeds their carrying value, the carrying value is increased to the fair value and the amount of increase is included into revaluation reserve of property, plant and equipment as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such increase in revaluation is recognized as income to the extent it does not exceed the decrease of previous revaluation recognized in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated from the depreciable amount which is equal to acquisition cost less residual value of an asset.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are capitalized.

Property, plant and equipment (continued)

When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

The estimated useful lives of the assets are the following:

Buildings 8–40 years
Plant and equipment 5–10 years
Vehicles 5–10 years
Fixtures and fittings 3–6 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized net within other income in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Intangible assets

Software and other intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful life is 3 years.

Investment property

Investment properties of the Company consist of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, rather than for use in the production, or supply of goods, or services or for administration purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Acquisition cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of raw materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing costs are capitalized in assets that comply with capitalisations requirements.

Investment property (continued)

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognised in the profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Company accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use.

Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company's statement of financial position.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Construction work in progress

Construction work in progress represents the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognized to date less progress billings and recognized losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Company's contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Construction work in progress is presented as part of trade receivables in the statement of financial position. If payments received from customers exceed the income recognized, then the difference is presented as deferred income in the statement of financial position.

Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income and expense over the relevant period.

.

Impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, the reversal is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset's value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit).

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Dividends

Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying construction services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.

Employee benefits

The Company does not have any defined contribution and benefit plans and has no share based payment schemes. Post-employment obligations to employees retired on pension are borne by the State.

Short-term employee benefits are recognized as a current expense in the period when employees render the services. These include salaries and wages, social security contributions, bonuses, paid holidays and other benefits. There are no long-term employee benefits.

Revenue

Construction contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work and other payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is assessed by proportion of actual cost incurred and the budgeted cost of construction contract.

When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Finance income and costs

Finance income comprises interest income and dividend income. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized on the date that the Company's right to receive payment is established. Finance costs comprise interest expense and impairment losses recognized on financial assets. All borrowing costs are recognized using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis in profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is recognized, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to employees.

The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share.

Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by management of the Company to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment reporting (continued)

Segment results that are reported to management include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

In 2015, the Company does not distinguish geographical segments, as the Company's income did not account for more than 10% of the total income in neither of foreign countries (in Russia, income accounted for 0.46% of the total income, in Latvia – 0.016%).

Determination of fair values

A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its nonperformance risk. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

The fair value of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 does not differ significantly from their carrying amount.

Changes in accounting policies

Except for the changes below, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in these financial statements to all periods presented in these financial statements.

The Company has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2015.

Changes in accounting policies (continued)

The following amendments to standards with effective date of 1 January 2015 did not have any impact on these financial statements:

  • IFRIC 21 Levies
  • Annual improvements to IFRSs
  • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
  • IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations
  • IFRS 8 Operating Segments
  • IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets
  • IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
  • IAS 40 Investment Property

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective

A number of new amendments, standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016, and have not been applied in preparing these separate financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Company, as well as management's judgements regarding the possible impact of initial application of new and revised standards and interpretations are set out below. The Company does not plan to adopt these amendments, standards and interpretations early.

(i) IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

These Amendments require business combination accounting to be applied to acquisitions of interests in a joint operation that constitutes a business. Business combination accounting also applies to the acquisition of additional interests in a joint operation while the joint operator retains joint control. The additional interest acquired will be measured at fair value. The previously held interests in the joint operation will not be remeasured.

The Company is not a party to any joint arrangements.

(ii) IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

The Amendments to include the five, narrow-focus improvements to the disclosure requirements contained in the standard.

The Company expects that the amendments, when initially applied, will not have a material impact on the presentation of the financial statements of the Company.

(iii) IAS 19 – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015)

The amendments are relevant only to defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties meeting certain criteria. When these criteria are met, a company is permitted (but not required) to recognise them as a reduction of the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered.

The Company does not expect the amendment to have any impact on the financial statements since it does not have any defined benefit plans that involve contributions from employees or third parties.

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective (continued)

(iv) IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

The amendments allow an entity to use the equity method in its separate financial statements to account for investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

The Company does not expect that the amendments, when initially applied, will have a material impact on the financial statements as the Company intends to continue to carry its investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures at cost.

(v) Annual Improvements to IFRSs

The improvements introduce ten amendments to ten standards and consequential amendments to other standards and interpretations. These amendments are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after either 1 February 2015 or 1 January 2016, with earlier adoption permitted.

None of these amendments are expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company.

4. Financial risk management

Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of these risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company's trade receivables and loans granted.

The Company controls credit risk by credit policies and procedures. The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed for creditworthiness before the standard payment terms and conditions are offered. Customers that fail to meet the benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Company only on a prepayment basis.

The maximum exposure to credit risk can be specified as follows:

2014
(in EUR) 2015 Restated
Trade receivables 10,884,408 17,815,632
Current and non-current loans granted 8,588,146 8,583,872
Current and non-current other financial assets 1,239,554 1,400,000

Total trade receivables 10,884,408 17,815,632

Credit risk (continued)

The largest credit risk related to trade receivables according to customers as at the reporting date:

(in EUR) 2015 % 2014 %

16,536,952
672,917
604,513
16,235 1,250
10,884,408 17,815,632
10,832,628
22,353
13,192

Ageing of trade receivables as at the reporting date can be specified as follows:

(in EUR) 2015 Impairment 2014 Impairment
Not overdue 7,976,083 14,569,493
Overdue 0–30 days 1,756,655 300,110
Overdue 30–90 days 918,036 198,482
More than 90 days 629,893 396,259 3,309,656 562,110
Total 11,280,667 396,259 18,377,741 562,110

The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experience.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank; therefore, the related credit risk is minimum.

Current and non-current other financial assets include term deposits at banks, amount receivable from the subsidiary and accrued receivable from the customer.

Although collection of loans and receivables could be influenced by economic factors, the management believes that there is no significant risk of loss to the Company beyond the impairment already recorded.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operating expenses, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters.

Payment terms of liabilities as at 31 December 2015, including calculated interest, as to the agreements, are presented below:

Carrying Contractual 6 months 6–12

Total 13,271,581 13,271,581 13,271,581 0 0 0

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in foreign currency rates and interest rates will affect the results of the Company or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. As at 31 December 2015 and 2014 the Company did not use any derivative financial instruments.

Currency risk. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency rates on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency euro.

During the year, currency exchange rates in respect of the euro in 2015 and in respect of the litas in 2014 were as follows:

31 December 31 December
2015 Average 2015 2014 Average 2014
1 EUR = 1.0000 1.0000 3.4528 3.4528
1 SEK = 0.1088 0.1069 0.3625 0.3798
1 RUB = 0.0125 0.0147 0.0503 0.0688

Market risk (continued)

The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk can be specified as follows:

Year 2015 (EUR) EUR RUB GBP SEK
Non-current loans granted 325,068
Trade receivables 10,873,916 10,492
Current loans granted 7,929,981 658,165

Total exposure 22,148,979 9,149,335 1,737,335 16,556 78,451

The functional currency of the Company is euro. The Company faces the risk of changes in foreign currency rates on purchases and payable amounts as well as on sales and amounts receivable that are denominated in currencies other than euro.

With a decrease in the currency exchange rate of the Russian rouble by 0.005 points, the Company's profit would decrease by approximately EUR 265 thousand.

Interest rate risk. The Company's issued loans and borrowings are subject to variable interest rates linked to EURIBOR. No financial instruments are used to manage the risk. Taking into consideration the current level of issued and received loans, the change of interest rate would not have a material effect.

Variable interest rate financial assets and liabilities were as follows:

2014
Currency 2015 Restated
Issued non-current loans EUR 325,068 121,955
Issued current loans EUR 7,929,981 7,984,793
Issued current loans RUB 658,165 477,124
Total 8,913,214 8,583,872

With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5%, the Company's profit would increase by approximately EUR 47 thousand.

Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital and proposes the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders based on the Company's financial results and strategic plans.

Operating risk management

The main operating risks of the Company include competition with other construction and contracting companies in the operating markets of the Company, reliability of subcontractors and other business partners, management of production capacities as well as attraction and retaining of experienced and qualified employees. Key management of the Company controls establishment of processes and procedures that mitigate the risks.

The Company's management ensures that its employees have appropriate expertise, experience and the latest knowledge to carry out the duties entrusted to them. The Company sends employees to training courses and organises internal training. The Company has internal controls in place to ensure the four-eye principle, where results of the person carrying out an operation are checked by another controller, by authorising the operation. The Company hires an external auditor for investigation of efficiency of internal processes; and schedules for audit of internal processes are being made by the internal auditor, and, as to recommendations received, processes are being reviewed and internal controls are strengthened. Also, the Company's Board and management meet regularly to discuss the matters related to performance of the Company, identification of operating risks as well as creation of plans for mitigation and elimination of the risks.

Major customer

Revenue from major customer of the Company in 2015 represents approximately EUR 21,893 thousand (2014: EUR 10,426 thousand) of the Company's total revenues.

12. Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed as at 31 December 2013 based on the consulting on possible market prices of the Company's land and buildings provided by independent valuation company UAB Matininkai, having appropriate recognized professional qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain category. Management performs valuation of PPA on an annual basis for financial reporting purposes. To verify management valuation, each five years external valuator is used.

The fair value of buildings and land equal to EUR 2,941 thousand is attributable to Level 3 under the hierarchy of fair value. The valuation was performed using the market comparison technique.

Significant unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in price per square meter/are.

If the buildings and land were stated at cost model, their carrying amount as at 31 December 2015 would be equal to EUR 2,394 thousand (31 December 2014: EUR 1,505 thousand).

During the year 2015, the Company acquired a 14-floor hotel Panevėžys in Panevėžys, 20% of which is rented out to third parties, and the rest of the hotel is not used. The Company has no detailed plans regarding the use of the remaining part of the building yet; however, the building is not planned to be used in the Company's activities; therefore, the whole building is classified as an investment property.

The fair value measurement has been determined by valuation of the building carried out by the independent property appraisers UAB Ober-Haus, having appropriate professional qualification and relevant valuation experience. While carrying out the valuation the discounted cash flows method was used (discount rate – 9%, exit yield – 7%). The change in fair value was stated under other income (refer to Note 9).

The identified fair value of the investment property of EUR 1,270 thousand was attributed to Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.

At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable lease agreements were the following: EUR 85 thousand payable in less than one year, EUR 121 thousand payable between one and five years (31 December 2014: 0, as the Company held no investment property). Revenue from lease in 2015 amounted to EUR 29 thousand (no lease revenue during 2014) and was stated under other income.

Financial information about the subsidiaries can be specified as follows:

Based on the management's assessment, the investments in SIA PS Trests and OOO Baltlitstroj are impaired; therefore, 100% impairment was recognized for these investments. The recoverable amount was calculated for the investment in UAB PST Investicijos (see below). After the calculations, the impairment of EUR 3,499,926 on the investment in the subsidiary UAB PST Investicijos was recognised due to significantly impaired ZAO ISK Baltevromarket. According to the management, other investments are not impaired.

When preparing the financial statements estimation of the recoverable amount of investment into UAB PST Investicijos was estimated taking recoverability of individual construction projects being developed. For each construction project under development a special purpose entity has been established and as at 31 December 2015 UAB PST Investicijos has the following special purpose subsidiaries:

  • (i) A significant portion of the recoverable amount of the investment into UAB PST Investicijos is related to the real estate project being developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket in Kaliningrad. As early as of the beginning of 2013, the Board of UAB PST Investicijos considered the possibilities of selling this project. In 2014, a letter of intent was signed by UAB PST Investicijos and ZAO J&T bank regarding the sale of 100% of ZAO Baltevromarket shares. At the same time, financial due diligence was taking place followed by further negotiations not only on the sale of ZAO Baltevromarket, but also on future design and construction works. The due diligence was performed by Cushman & Wakefield company (Moscow, Russia). However, due to changes in the market situation in Russia, the negotiations were terminated in spring 2015. To support the recoverable amount, the Company has a market price estimate prepared by an independent property appraiser. According to the evaluation of the real estate expert CB Richard Ellis LLC (Moscow, Russia), the market value of the project developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket as at 31 December 2015 amounted to EUR 9,264,841 (RUB 738,380,000). The valuation of one of the land plots developed by ZAO ISK Baltevromarket was performed using the market comparison technique, based on which the value of the land plot was EUR 1,893,064; another land plot was evaluated using the discounted cash flows method, based on which the value of the land plot was EUR 7,371,777. Key inputs used by the valuator using the discounted cash flows method could be detailed as follows
  • discount rate 20%;
  • exit yield 12%;
  • shopping centre area: annual rent prices from 5.23 to 28.23 EUR/sq.m., occupancy rate – from 70% in the first year to 95% in the last year of the model for different premises.
  • (ii) The recoverable amounts of other projects have been estimated based on the consultations with the real estate appraiser Ober-Haus Nekilnojamas Turtas regarding potential market prices. In calculation of the prices of property, the discounted cash flow method was used (the discount rate of 15%).

28. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction under current market conditions in the main (or the most favourable) market independent on whether this price is directly observable or established using valuation techniques. Cash is attributed to Level 1, while receivables and financial liabilities are attributed to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

28. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments not carried at fair value.

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2015 and 2014 at the Company.

Cash

Cash represents cash on hand stated at value equal to the fair value.

Receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of trade and other receivables with outstanding maturities shorter than six months with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.

28. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreement. Fair value of shorter term financial liabilities with no stated interest rate is deemed to approximate their face value on initial recognition and carrying value on any subsequent date as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Fair values are categorised within different levels in a fair value hierarchy, which disclosed the significance of initial inputs used in the valuation techniques. The fair value hierarchy consists of these levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – original inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

Level 3 – original inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable original inputs).

The Company has no financial assets and liabilities stated at fair value.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The main financial instruments of the Company which are not measured at fair value include trade and other receivables, trade and other payables. As to the Company's management, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values, as borrowings costs are related to interbank borrowing interest rate EURIBOR, while other financial assets and liabilities are current; therefore, the changes in their fair values are insignificant.

29. Correction of errors

When preparing the financial statements, a mistake was found in the measurement of impairment for the loans granted, resulting from operations in Russia. The management reassessed the situation and decided to recognize impairment to reflect the uncertainties and risk arising from the Russian market, where the Company has projects. The decision was taken to correct the error retrospectively. It was corrected by restating all items of the separate financial statements for the previous financial year related to the error. The table below presents the effect of error correction on the Company's separate financial statements.

30. Subsequent events

There were no subsequent events which would have an effect on the financial statements or require a disclosure.

$31.$ Situation in Russia

The Company has significant business interest in Russia. Low oil and gas prices, geopolitical tensions and ongoing international sanctions deepened Russia's economic crisis for the year 2015. The significant drop down of rubble against the euro, the double digit inflation rate led to a fall in real Russian's wages and to higher import prices, thus hurting household spending. As a result, reduced consumer demand also hurt the consumer-oriented sectors of the economy. The continuing instability in the Russian business environment may have an adverse effect on the performance and financial position of the Company. Currently, the extent of such effect cannot be estimated. These separate financial statements reflect the management's current assessment of the impact of the Russia's business environment on the performance and financial position of the Company. Future business environment may differ from the management's assessments. No adjustments have been made in these separate financial statements in view of the effect of the events in Russia and other countries after the date of these separate financial statements.

6. FAIR REVIEW OF THE COMPANY'S POSITION, PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS, DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IT FACES

Panevezio statybos trestas AB keeps on maintaining the position of one of the largest construction companies in Lithuania. The year 2015 was not easy for the company. The challenging competitive environment remained unchanged in the construction market. The still tense economic and geopolitical situation in the East had effect on the activities and financial results of the company. A number of Lithuanian companies are selling their services in the Scandinavian and neighbouring countries Latvia and Poland; therefore, the export trends of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group are undergoing changes. In 2015 the branch in Kaliningrad Region and the representative office in Cherepovets were closed down. Over the reporting year the company started exporting to Sweden. The subsidiary company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB, PST Nordic AB, signed the construction contract with Åke Sundvall Byggnads AB.

Activities of the PST companies have significant effect on development of the infrastructure in the country, the implemented unique orders of national importance contribute to strengthening of the image of a responsible company among clients and business partners. The clients trust PST and value it as a builder experienced in large in scope and technologically complicated projects.

In 2015 construction of Sludge Treatment Plant to be used to treat waste water and utilise all sludge from Taurage Region was completed in Taurage District. Construction activities were successfully completed in Klaipeda County Police Headquarters. The project covered a new building of the headquarters together with a detention facility. The contracts awarded and signed in the year 2015 (construction of a new packaging production building for Smurfit Kappa Baltic UAB in Savanoriu Avenue, Vilnius, construction of a storage building with a garage and administration facilities in the area of Vilnius Airport for Litcargus UAB, reconstruction of the National M.K. Ciurlionis School of Art at T. Kosciuskos Street 11A, Vilnius, expansion of the shopping and leisure centre Mega and area landscaping for Baltic Shopping Centres AB, construction of a new storage building with offices at Liepkalnio Street 188, Vilnius for Wirtgen Lietuva UAB) let us hope that PST will keep on working with stable profit and at the same time maintain the high quality standard.

In the yearly competition Lithuanian Product of the Year organized by the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialist the company was awarded the gold medal for construction of Sludge Treatment Plant in Taurage.

In 2015 the following branches continued their operation in the structure of the company: Gerbusta, focusing on construction of engineering networks and landscaping, Pastatu apdaila, carrying out indoor and outdoor finishing works, Betonas, Konstrukcija, Stogas where production capacities were concentrated, Vilnius branch Genranga, performing general contracting activities and project management in Vilnius Region, and Klaipstata, performing general contracting activities and project management in Klaipeda Region. The company has permanent establishments in the Republic of Latvia and Kingdom of Sweden.

Risk factors related to the company activities:

  • Shortage of qualified labour;
  • Intense competition;
  • Aggressive behaviour on the part of Russia and variation in the value of the Russian Rouble related thereto;
  • Damping.

Other information on the types of risks arising to the Group and risk management is provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 4) and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 4).

PRINCIPLES/ RECOMMENDATIONS YES/NO
NOT
APPLICABLE
COMMENTARY
------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Principle I: Basic Provisions

The overriding objective of a company should be to operate in common interests of all the shareholders by optimizing over time shareholder value.

1.1. A company should adopt and make public the
company's development strategy and objectives by clearly
declaring how the company intends to meet the interests of
its shareholders and optimize shareholder value.
Yes The Company's strategy and objectives are made public on the
website http//www.pst.lt and in the notifications for the
Vilnius Stock Exchange, periodic notifications to the BNS
news agency, notifications in the newspapers and at the press
conferences.
1.2. All management bodies of a company should act in Yes
furtherance of the declared strategic objectives in view of
the need to optimize shareholder value.
1.3. A company's supervisory and management bodies Yes The Board of the Company is responsible not only for the
should act in close co-operation in order to attain maximum strategic management of the Company but also analyses and
benefit for the company and its shareholders. evaluates the material on all issues of the Company activities
presented by the managers: implementation of activity
strategy, activity arrangement, financial status, etc.
1.4. A company's supervisory and management bodies Yes
should ensure that the rights and interests of persons other
than the company's shareholders (e.g. employees, creditors,
suppliers, clients, local community), participating in or
connected with the company's operation, are duly respected.

Principle II: The corporate governance framework

The corporate governance framework should ensure the strategic guidance of the company, the effective oversight of the company's management bodies, an appropriate balance and distribution of functions between the company's bodies, protection of the shareholders' interests.

2.1. Besides obligatory bodies provided for in the Law on
Companies of the Republic of Lithuania - a general
shareholders' meeting and the chief executive officer, it is
recommended that a company should set up both a collegial
supervisory body and a collegial management body. The
setting up of collegial bodies for supervision and
management facilitates clear separation of management and
supervisory functions in the company, accountability and
control on the part of the chief executive officer, which, in
its turn, facilitate a more efficient and transparent
management process.
N o As the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania
provides for the possibility to elect only one either collegial
supervision or management body, the collegial management
body, the Board, and one-person management body, the
Managing Director, are set up in the Company. The collegial
supervisory body - the Supervisory Board is not set up.
2.2. A collegial management body is responsible for the
strategic management of the company and performs other
key functions of corporate governance. A collegial
supervisory body is responsible for the effective supervision
of the company's management bodies.
Yes The supervision of the Company's activities and the
responsibility and control of the Chief Executive Officer are
ensured by the Board, which analyses and evaluates the
material on all items of the Company operation presented by
the Chief Executive Officer.
2.3. Where a company chooses to form only one collegial
body, it is recommended that it should be a supervisory
body, i.e. the supervisory board. In such a case, the
supervisory board is responsible for the effective monitoring
of the functions performed by the company's chief
executive officer.
N o with
principle
complies
this
Company
in
The
recommendation, though only one collegial management body,
the Board, is set up, however the authority assigned to the
Board by the Articles of Association essentially matches the
authority assigned to the Supervisory Board.
2.4. The collegial supervisory body to be elected by the
general shareholders' meeting should be set up and should
act in the manner defined in Principles III and IV. Where a
company should decide not to set up a collegial supervisory
body but rather a collegial management body, i.e. the board,
Principles III and IV should apply to the board as long as
that does not contradict the essence and purpose of this
body. 1
Yes

<sup>1 Provisions of Principles III and IV are more applicable to those instances when the general shareholders' meeting elects the supervisory board, i.e. a body that is essentially formed to ensure supervision of the company's board and the chief executive officer and to represent the company's shareholders. However, in case the company does not form the supervisory board but rather the board, most of the recommendations set out in Principles III and IV become important and applicable to the board as well. Furthermore, it should be noted that certain recommendations, which are in their essence and nature applicable exclusively to the supervisory board (e.g. formation of the committees), should not be applied to the board, as the competence and functions of these bodies according to the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) are different. For instance, item 3.1 of the Code concerning oversight of the management bodies applies to the extent it concerns the oversight of the chief executive officer of the company, but not of the board itself; item 4.1 of the Code concerning recommendations to the management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the provision of recommendations to the company's chief executive officer; item 4.6 of the Code concerning independence of the collegial body elected by the general meeting from the company's management bodies is applied to the extent it concerns independence from the chief executive officer.

2.5. Company's management and supervisory bodies should
comprise such number of board (executive directors) and
supervisory (non-executive directors) board members that
no individual or small group of individuals can dominate
decision-making on the part of these bodies. 2
Yes The Board consists of 5 members and this number is
considered to be sufficient.
2.6. Non-executive directors or members of the supervisory
board should be appointed for specified terms subject to
individual re-election, at maximum intervals provided for in
the Lithuanian legislation with a view to ensuring necessary
development of professional experience and sufficiently
frequent reconfirmation of their status. A possibility to
remove them should also be stipulated however this
procedure should not be easier than the removal procedure
for an executive director or a member of the management
board.
No As the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania
provides for the possibility to elect only one either collegial
supervision or management body, the collegial management
body, the Board, is set up in the Company. The Supervisory
Board is not set up.
2.7. Chairman of the collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting may be a person whose current or
past office constitutes no obstacle to conduct independent
and impartial supervision. Where a company should decide
not to set up a supervisory board but rather the board, it is
recommended that the chairman of the board and chief
executive officer of the company should be a different
person. Former company's chief executive officer should
not be immediately nominated as the chairman of the
collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting.
When a company chooses to departure from these
recommendations, it should furnish information on the
measures it has taken to ensure impartiality of the
supervision.
Yes The Chairman of the Board represents the main shareholder
and has never been the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.

Principle III: The order of the formation of a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders' meeting

The order of the formation a collegial body to be elected by a general shareholders' meeting should ensure representation of minority shareholders, accountability of this body to the shareholders and objective monitoring of the company's operation and its management bodies. $3$

3.1. The mechanism of the formation of a collegial body to Yes Though there are no independent members of the Board at the
be elected by a general shareholders' meeting (hereinafter in Company, the Board ensures objective and fair monitoring of
this Principle referred to as the 'collegial body') should the Company's management bodies as well as representation

management bodies as well as representation of minority
shareholders.

<sup>2 Definitions 'executive director' and 'non-executive director' are used in cases when a company has only one collegial body.

<sup>3 Attention should be drawn to the fact that in the situation where the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it is natural that being a management body it should ensure oversight not of all management bodies of the company, but only of the single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer. This note shall apply in respect of item 3.1 as well.

3.2. Names and surnames of the candidates to become
members of a collegial body, information about their
education, qualification, professional background, positions
taken and potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed
early enough before the general shareholders' meeting so
that the shareholders would have sufficient time to make an
informed voting decision. All factors affecting the
candidate's independence, the sample list of which is set out
in Recommendation 3.7, should be also disclosed. The
collegial body should also be informed on any subsequent
changes in the provided information. The collegial body
should, on yearly basis, collect data provided in this item on
its members and disclose this in the company's annual
report.
Yes/No Information on the positions taken by the members of the
board or their participation in other companies' operation is
continuously collected and compiled, and at the end of every
year it is revised and presented in the reports prepared by the
Company.
3.3. Should a person be nominated for members of a
collegial body, such nomination should be followed by the
disclosure of information on candidate's particular
competences relevant to his/her service on the collegial
body. In order shareholders and investors are able to
ascertain whether member's competence is further relevant,
the collegial body should, in its annual report, disclose the
information on its composition and particular competences
of individual members which are relevant to their service on
the collegial body.
Yes The information on the composition of the Board is provided
in the semi-annual and annual reports prepared by the
Company.
3.4 In order to maintain a proper balance in terms of the
current qualifications possessed by its members, the desired
composition of the collegial body shall be determined with
regard to the company's structure and activities, and have
this periodically evaluated. The collegial body should
ensure that it is composed of members who, as a whole,
have the required diversity of knowledge, judgment and
experience to complete their tasks properly. The members of
the audit committee, collectively, should have a recent
knowledge and relevant experience in the fields of finance,
accounting and/or audit for the stock exchange listed
companies. At least one of the members of the remuneration
committee should have knowledge of and experience in the
field of remuneration policy.
Yes The Board is formed considering the Company's structure and
activities, the experience of its members, diversity of
knowledge related to the Company activities allow doing the
work properly.
3.5. All new members of the collegial body should be
offered a tailored program focused on introducing a member
with his/her duties, corporate organization and activities.
The collegial body should conduct an annual review to
identify fields where its members need to update their skills
and knowledge.
Yes The new members are introduced with the Company and the
regulations of the Board. The members of the Board constantly
participate at various refresher courses and seminars where
they collect information about the essential changes in the
legislation regulating the Company's activities.
3.6. In order to ensure that all material conflicts of interest
related with a member of the collegial body are resolved
properly, the collegial body should comprise a sufficient 4
number of independent 5 members.
No Historically the Company exhibits the situation that the
sufficiency of the independent members has not been
considered. As the trading of the Company shares takes place
actively and the minority shareholders take an active part in
the management of the Company, the Company will seek
implementation of this principle.
3.7. A member of the collegial body should be considered to
be independent only if he is free of any business, family or
other relationship with the company, its controlling
shareholder or the management of either, that creates a
conflict of interest such as to impair his judgment. Since all
cases when member of the collegial body is likely to
become dependant are impossible to list, moreover,
relationships and circumstances associated with the
determination of independence may vary amongst
companies and the best practices of solving this problem are
yet to evolve in the course of time, assessment of
independence of a member of the collegial body should be
based on the contents of the relationship and circumstances
rather than their form. The key criteria for identifying
whether a member of the collegial body can be considered
to be independent are the following:
1) he/she is not an executive director or member of the
board (if a collegial body elected by the general
shareholders' meeting is the supervisory board) of the
company or any associated company and has not been
such during the last five years;
he/she is not an employee of the company or some
2)
any company and has not been such during the last
three years, except for cases when a member of the
collegial body does not belong to the senior
management and was elected to the collegial body as
a representative of the employees;
he/she is not receiving or has been not receiving
3)
significant additional remuneration from the company
or associated company other than remuneration for
the office in the collegial body. Such additional
remuneration includes participation in share options
or some other performance based pay systems; it does
not include compensation payments for the previous
office in the company (provided that such payment is
no way related with later position) as per pension
plans (inclusive of deferred compensations);
4) he/she is not a controlling shareholder
$_{\mathrm{OT}}$
representative of such shareholder (control as defined
in the Council Directive 83/349/EEC Article 1 Part
1);
No All five members of the Board are related to the largest
shareholder - Panevėžio keliai AB. The candidates to become
the members of the Board are proposed to the Shareholders'
Meeting by Panevėžio keliai AB, which holds 49.78 per cent
of the authorised capital of the Company.

<sup>4 The Code does not provide for a concrete number of independent members to comprise a collegial body. Many codes in foreign countries fix a concrete number of independent members (e.g. at least 1/3 or 1/2 of the members of the collegial body) to comprise the collegial body. However, having regard to the novelty of the institution of independent members in Lithuania and potential problems in finding and electing a concrete number of independent members, the Code provides for a more flexible wording and allows the companies themselves to decide what number of independent members is sufficient. Of course, a larger number of independent members in a collegial body is encouraged and will constitute an example of more suitable corporate governance.

<sup>5 It should be noted that in some companies all members of the collegial body may, due to a very small number of minority shareholders, be elected by the votes of the majority shareholder or a few major shareholders. But even a member of the collegial body elected by the majority shareholders may be considered independent if he/she meets the independence criteria set out in the Code.

5) he/she does not have and did not have any material
business relations with the company or associated
company within the past year directly or as a partner,
shareholder, director or superior employee of the
subject having such relationship. A subject is
considered to have business relations when it is a
major supplier or service provider (inclusive of
financial, legal, counseling and consulting services),
major client or organization receiving significant
payments from the company or its group;
he/she is not and has not been, during the last three
6) years, partner or employee of the current or former
external audit company of the company or associated
company;
7)
9)
he/she is not an executive director or member of the
board in some other company where executive
director of the company or member of the board (if a
collegial body elected by the general shareholders'
meeting is the supervisory board) is non-executive
director or member of the supervisory board, he/she
may not also have any other material relationships
with executive directors of the company that arise
from their participation in activities of other
companies or bodies;
8) he/she has not been in the position of a member of the
collegial body for over than 12 years;
he/she is not a close relative to an executive director
or member of the board (if a collegial body elected by
the general shareholders' meeting is the supervisory
board) or to any person listed in above items 1 to 8.
Close relative is considered to be a spouse (common-
law spouse), children and parents.
3.8. The determination of what constitutes independence is
fundamentally an issue for the collegial body itself to
determine. The collegial body may decide that, despite a
particular member meets all the criteria of independence
laid down in this Code, he cannot be considered
independent due to special personal or company-related
circumstances.
Not
applicable
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not complied with.
3.9. Necessary information on conclusions the collegial
body has come to in its determination of whether a
particular member of the body should be considered to be
independent should be disclosed. When a person is
nominated to become a member of the collegial body, the
company should disclose whether it considers the person to
be independent. When a particular member of the collegial
body does not meet one or more criteria of independence set
out in this Code, the company should disclose its reasons for
nevertheless considering the member to be independent. In
addition, the company should annually disclose which
members of the collegial body it considers to be
independent.
No The practice of independence assessment and disclosure for
the members of the Board is not applied at the Company.
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not complied with.
3.10. When one or more criteria of independence set out in
this Code has not been met throughout the year, the
company should disclose its reasons for considering a
particular member of the collegial body to be independent.
To ensure accuracy of the information disclosed in relation
with the independence of the members of the collegial body,
the company should require independent members to have
their independence periodically re-confirmed.
N 0 The practice of independence assessment of and disclosure for
the members of the Board is not applied at the Company.
The recommendation provided in 3.7 is not complied with.
3.11. In order to remunerate members of a collegial body for
their work and participation in the meetings of the collegial
body, they may be remunerated from the company's funds. 6 .
The general shareholders' meeting should approve the
amount of such remuneration.
Yes The Shareholders' Meeting approves the amount of tantiemes
allocated to the members of the Board. Referring to the
International Accounting Standards, tantiemes for the
members of the Board are attributed to operating expenses of
the Company.

Principle IV: The duties and liabilities of a collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting

The corporate governance framework should ensure proper and effective functioning of the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting, and the powers granted to the collegial body should ensure effective monitoring7 of the company's management bodies and protection of interests of all the company's shareholders.

4.1. The collegial body elected by the general shareholders'
meeting (hereinafter in this Principle referred to as the
'collegial body') should ensure integrity and transparency of
the company's financial statements and the control system.
The collegial body should issue recommendations to the
company's management bodies and monitor and control the
company's management performance. 8
Yes Once a quarter the Board hears out the report of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Finance Director of the Company,
analyses their activities, evaluates its effectiveness and
provides recommendations, if required. The Board analyses,
evaluates the draft Annual Financial Statement and draft Profit
(Loss) Statement of the Company, and presents them to the
General Shareholders' Meeting.
4.2. Members of the collegial body should act in good faith,
with care and responsibility for the benefit and in the
interests of the company and its shareholders with due
regard to the interests of employees and public welfare.
Independent members of the collegial body should (a) under
all circumstances maintain independence of their analysis,
decision-making and actions (b) do not seek and accept any
unjustified privileges that might compromise their
independence, and (c) clearly express their objections
should a member consider that decision of the collegial
body is against the interests of the company. Should a
collegial body have passed decisions independent member
has serious doubts about, the member should make adequate
conclusions. Should an independent member resign from his
office, he should explain the reasons in a letter addressed to
the collegial body or audit committee and, if necessary,
respective company-not-pertaining body (institution).
Yes Though historically the Company exhibits the situation that the
sufficiency of the independent members has not been
considered, based on the data available to the Company, all
members of the Board act in good will in respect of the
Company, they are guided by the interests of the Company and
not those of their own or any third parties, the principles of
good faith and reasonableness.

7 See Footnote 3.

<sup>6 It is notable that currently it is not yet completely clear, in what form members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in these bodies. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) provides that members of the supervisory board or the board may be remunerated for their work in the supervisory board or the board by payment of annual bonuses (tantiems) in the manner prescribed by Article 59 of this Law, i.e. from the company's profit. The current wording, contrary to the wording effective before 1 January 2004, eliminates the exclusive requirement that annual bonuses (tantiems) should be the only form of the company's compensation to members of the supervisory board or the board. So it seems that the Law contains no prohibition to remunerate members of the supervisory board or the board for their work in other forms, besides bonuses, although this possibility is not expressly stated either.

<sup>8 See Footnote 3. In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, it should provide recommendations to the company's single-person body of management, i.e. the company's chief executive officer.

4.3. Each member should devote sufficient time and
attention to perform his duties as a member of the collegial
body. Each member of the collegial body should limit other
professional obligations of his (in particular any
directorships held in other companies) in such a manner
they do not interfere with proper performance of duties of a
member of the collegial body. In the event a member of the
collegial body should be present in less than a half 9 of the
meetings of the collegial body throughout the financial year
of the company, shareholders of the company should be
notified.
Yes The members of the Board participated at the meetings of the
Board and each of them devoted sufficient time to perform the
duties as a member of the Board.
In all meetings of the Board taken place in 2015 there was
quorum prescribed by the legislation. The members of the
Board participating at the meeting are recorded in the Minutes
of the Meeting. 13 meetings of the Board took place in 2015.
Three members of the Board participated in all meetings of the
Board and two members of the Board participated in 12
meetings.
4.4. Where decisions of a collegial body may have a
different effect on the company's shareholders, the collegial
body should treat all shareholders impartially and fairly. It
should ensure that shareholders are properly informed on
the company's affairs, strategies, risk management and
resolution of conflicts of interest. The company should have
a clearly established role of members of the collegial body
when communicating with and committing to shareholders.
Yes The management bodies of the Company follow the principles
of communication with the shareholders established by the
laws.
4.5. It is recommended that transactions
(except)
insignificant ones due to their low value or concluded when
carrying out routine operations in the company under usual
conditions), concluded between the company and its
shareholders, members of the supervisory or managing
bodies or other natural or legal persons that exert or may
exert influence on the company's management should be
subject to approval of the collegial body. The decision
concerning approval of such transactions should be deemed
adopted only provided the majority of the independent
members of the collegial body voted for such a decision.
Not
applicable
Transactions with the members of managing bodies are not
concluded.
Only usual activity transactions are concluded with the main
shareholder.

<sup>9 It is notable that companies can make this requirement more stringent and provide that shareholders should be informed about failure to be include that companies can make this requirement more samgent and provide that shareholders should be intermed about family
to participate at the meetings of the collegial body if, for instance, a member of the colle

4.6. The collegial body should be independent in passing
decisions that are significant for the company's operations
and strategy. Taken separately, the collegial body should be
independent of the company's management bodies 10 .
Members of the collegial body should act and pass decisions
without an outside influence from the persons who have
elected it. Companies should ensure that the collegial body
and its committees are provided with sufficient
administrative and financial resources to discharge their
duties, including the right to obtain, in particular from
employees of the company, all the necessary information or
to seek independent legal, accounting or any other advice on
issues pertaining to the competence of the collegial body
and its committees. When using the services of a consultant
with a view to obtaining information on market standards
for remuneration systems, the remuneration committee
should ensure that the consultant concerned does not at the
same time advice the human resources department,
executive directors or collegial management organs of the
company concerned.
Yes The collegial management body, which to a wide extent is
dependent on the main shareholder acting in a similar
business, passes decisions considering the interests only of the
Company.
The Company provides the Board with sufficient resources
required for their function performance, and the employees of
the Company who are responsible for the areas of operation
under discussion participate at the meeting of the Board and
present all necessary information.
4.7. Activities of the collegial body should be organized in a
manner that independent members of the collegial body
could have major influence in relevant areas where chances
of occurrence of conflicts of interest are very high. Such
areas to be considered as highly relevant are issues of
nomination of company's directors, determination of
directors' remuneration and control and assessment of
company's audit. Therefore when the mentioned issues are
attributable to the competence of the collegial body, it is
recommended that the collegial body should establish
nomination, remuneration, and audit committees 11 .
Companies should ensure that the functions attributable to
the nomination, remuneration, and audit committees are
carried out. However they may decide to merge these
functions and set up less than three committees. In such case
a company should explain in detail reasons behind the
selection of alternative approach and how the selected
approach complies with the objectives set forth for the three
different committees. Should the collegial body of the
company comprise small number of members, the functions
assigned to the three committees may be performed by the
collegial body itself, provided that it meets composition
requirements advocated for the committees and that
adequate information is provided in this respect. In such
case provisions of this Code relating to the committees of
the collegial body (in particular with respect to their role,
operation, and transparency) should apply, where relevant,
to the collegial body as a whole.
No The collegial body of the Company's management is the
Board performing the functions of Nomination Committee and
the Remuneration Committees. The Board chooses and
approves the candidacy of the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company - Managing Director, and agrees with the
candidacies of Directors of the Company proposed by the
Managing Director. It continuously evaluates their experience,
professional capabilities and implementation of the
Company's strategic goals, hears out their reports. The Board
selects the candidate for the external audit and provides
proposals to the General Shareholders' Meeting for approval.
On 30 April 2015 the Audit Committee was elected during the
Annual General Shareholders' Meeting.

<sup>10 In the event the collegial body elected by the general shareholders' meeting is the board, the recommendation concerning its independence from the company's management bodies applies to the extent it relates to the independence from the company's chief executive officer.

<sup>11 The Law on Audit of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2008, No 82-53233) determines that an Audit Committee shall be formed in each public interest entity (including, but not limited to, the public companies whose securities are traded in the regulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or any other member state).

4.8. The key objective of the committees is to increase
efficiency of the activities of the collegial body by ensuring
that decisions are based on due consideration, and to help
organize its work with a view to ensuring that the decisions
it takes are free of material conflicts of interest. Committees
should exercise independent judgement and integrity when
exercising its functions as well as present the collegial body
with recommendations concerning the decisions of the
collegial body. Nevertheless the final decision shall be
adopted by the collegial body. The recommendation on
creation of committees is not intended, in principle, to
constrict the competence of the collegial body or to remove
the matters considered from the purview of the collegial
body itself, which remains fully responsible for the
decisions taken in its field of competence.
Yes/No See commentary on the recommendation provided in 4.7.
The recommendation is implemented to the extent it is related
to the activities of the Audit Committee in the Company.
4.9. Committees established by the collegial body should
normally be composed of at least three members. In
companies with small number of members of the collegial
body, they could exceptionally be composed of two
members.
Majority of the members of each committee should be
constituted from independent members of the collegial
body. In cases when the company chooses not to set up a
supervisory board, remuneration and audit committees
should be entirely comprised of non-executive directors.
Chairmanship and membership of the committees should be
decided with due regard to the need to ensure that
committee membership is refreshed and that undue reliance
is not placed on particular individuals. Chairmanship and
membership of the committees should be decided with due
regard to the need to ensure that committee membership is
refreshed and that undue reliance is not placed on particular
individuals.

The Audit Committee is composed of three members. One
member conforms to the requirements for independence. The
Audit Committee is elected for the period of one year.
4.10. Authority of each of the committees should be
determined by the collegial body. Committees should
perform their duties in line with authority delegated to them
and inform the collegial body on their activities and
performance on regular basis. Authority of every committee
stipulating the role and rights and duties of the committee
should be made public at least once a year (as part of the
information disclosed by the company annually on its
corporate governance structures and practices). Companies
should also make public annually a statement by existing
committees on their composition, number of meetings and
attendance over the year, and their main activities. Audit
committee should confirm that it is satisfied with the
independence of the audit process and describe briefly the
actions it has taken to reach this conclusion.
Yes See commentary on the recommendation 4.7.
The authority, rights and duties of the Audit Committee are
determined by the Rules of the Audit Committee following the
applicable legislation, and the authority, rights and duties of
the Audit Committee are approved by the General
Shareholders' meeting.
The authority, rights and duties of the Audit Committee do not
differ from those determined by the legislation.
The approved rules of the Audit Committee are made public
on the Company's website.
4.11. In order to ensure independence and impartiality of the
committees, members of the collegial body that are not
members of the committee should commonly have a right to
participate in the meetings of the committee only if invited
by the committee. A committee may invite or demand
participation in the meeting of particular officers or experts.
Chairman of each of the committees should have a
possibility to maintain direct communication with the
shareholders. Events when such are to be performed should
be specified in the regulations for committee activities.

concerning removal of the board members, their liability or
remuneration are discussed.

than 1/20 of the Company's authorized capital, investment
transfer, rent, mortgage, purchase, etc.
6.4. Procedures of convening and conducting a general
shareholders' meeting should ensure equal opportunities for
the shareholders to effectively participate at the meetings
and should not prejudice the rights and interests of the
shareholders. The venue, date, and time of the shareholders'
meeting should not hinder wide attendance of the
shareholders.
Yes The place, date and time of the General Shareholders' Meeting
are chosen in a manner ensuring the possibilities to all
shareholders to effectively participate at the Shareholders'
Meeting. The shareholders are informed about the convening
of the General Shareholders' Meeting in public and no later

of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius and on the Company's website.

<sup>13 The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania (Official Gazette, 2003, No 123-5574) no longer assigns resolutions concerning the investment, transfer, lease, mortgage or acquisition of the long-terms assets accounting for more than 1/20 of the company's authorized capital to the competence of the general shareholders' meeting. However, transactions that are important and material for the company's activity should be considered and approved by the general shareholders' meeting. The Law on Companies contains no prohibition to this effect either. Yet, in order not to encumber the company's activity and escape an unreasonably frequent consideration of transactions at the meetings, companies are free to establish their own criteria of material transactions, which are subject to the approval of the meeting. While establishing these criteria of material transactions, companies may follow the criteria set out in items 3, 4, 5 and 6 of paragraph 4 of Article 34 of the Law on Companies or derogate from them in view of the specific nature of their operation and their attempt to ensure uninterrupted, efficient functioning of the company.
