INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS AB Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS (here- inafter the ‘Company’), which comprise the statement of financial position as of 31 December 2022, the statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying Company’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania that are relevant to the audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of the financial statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Below is the description of each key audit matter and our response to it. 1. Key audit matter – Revenue recognition for constructions contracts in progress The Company‘s main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in Notes 2, 3.14 and 19, the Company recognizes revenue from the customer specific construction contracts in progress as of the year-end based on the estimated stage of completion of the projects, which is assessed by reference to the proportion of total costs incurred through the reporting date compared to total costs of the contract estimated by management. This matter was significant to our audit because recognition of revenue for the reporting year is highly de- pendent on the judgment exercised by the management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of forecast costs to complete the construction contract and changes in these judgments and related estimates throughout a contract life can result in material adjustments to revenue and margin recognised on contracts, which can be either positive or negative. How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 27 of the financial statements on this matter. Our audit procedures, among others, included the following: - Updating our understanding of the Company’s revenue recognition process, including the model used for the revenue recognition in relation to the contracts in progress, and controls in relation to long-term construction contracts. We also assessed how the management makes the accounting 4 Grant Thornton Baltic UAB Vilnius | Upės st. 21 | 08128 Vilnius | Lithuania | T +370 52 127 856 | E info@lt.gt.com Kaunas | Jonavos st. 60C | 44192 Kaunas | Lithuania | T +370 37 422 500 | E kaunas@lt.gt.com Klaipėda | Taikos ave. 52c / Agluonos st. 1-1403 | 91184 Klaipėda | Lithuania | T +370 46 411 248 | E klaipeda@lt.gt.com Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd. estimate (determines the stage of completion of the projects) and the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data on which it is based as further described below. - Testing the Company’s key controls over allocation of revenues and costs to a specific contract. - Consideration of the accuracy of management’s forecasts for potential management bias by com- paring the historical financial performance of selected contracts completed in 2022 with the total cost estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as of 31 Decem- ber 2021. - Considering whether all material loss making contracts were properly identified and accounted for; - Selecting a sample of contracts with the greatest potential impact on the Company’s financial state- ments for the year ended 31 December 2022, considering both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique in their na- ture, for additional testing as outlined below. For the sample of contracts selected, we have considered the adequacy of the management’s estimate on the amount of revenue to be recognized in the financial statements by performing the following procedures, among others: - comparing the contracts signed with customers against the total contract value estimates included in the management’s calculations; - considering the management’s estimated costs required to complete the contracts by reference to our understanding of the contract scope and the management’s contracts’ cost budgets and our inquiries of contract managers; - tracing costs incurred up to date as per management’s estimation of the stage of completion to the costs included in the statement of comprehensive income, considering also whether they are reflec- tive of the actual progress of the work and are eligible items; - considering the reasonableness of the margins recognised by the Company for the projects in pro- gress taking into account our understanding of the contract scope and the historical performance of the Company; - and tracing actual contract revenues accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income to the estimation of the management of the amounts of revenue to be recognized for the contracts in pro- gress based on the assessment of their stage of completion. Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in Notes 2 and 19 of the financial statements. 2. Key audit matter – Impairment assessment of investments into subsidiaries and receivables from subsidiaries As disclosed in Notes 16, 17, 19 and 29 in the financial statements, the carrying value of the Company’s investments into subsidiaries amounts to EUR 5.98 million and the total balance of receivables from these subsidiaries, including loans granted and interest accrued, amounted to EUR 7.71 million as at 31 December 2022 (EUR 5.98 million and EUR 7.76 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2021). The management’s assessment of the recoverable amount of investments into subsidiaries and impairment losses on receiva- bles from them, including loans granted and accrued interest, requires estimation and judgement around the assumptions used, including the recoverable value of real estate projects under development by subsidiaries as disclosed in Notes 2 and 16. Changes to these assumptions could lead to material changes in the esti- mated recoverable amount of investments and impairment losses on loans and receivables. This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of related management estimation. We, among other audit procedures, have obtained an understanding (including understanding of the as- sumptions and methods), applied by the management in impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and receivables from subsidiaries. We considered the completeness of the potential impairment indicators iden- tified by the management by comparing the carrying value of the Company’s investments into each subsidiary 5 Grant Thornton Baltic UAB Vilnius | Upės st. 21 | 08128 Vilnius | Lithuania | T +370 52 127 856 | E info@lt.gt.com Kaunas | Jonavos st. 60C | 44192 Kaunas | Lithuania | T +370 37 422 500 | E kaunas@lt.gt.com Klaipėda | Taikos ave. 52c / Agluonos st. 1-1403 | 91184 Klaipėda | Lithuania | T +370 46 411 248 | E klaipeda@lt.gt.com Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd. with the Company’s share in the net assets of the subsidiary at their book value and discussing with the management their performance and their outlook. We also considered the assumptions and methodologies used by the management to determine the recov- erable amounts of the investments in subsidiaries and estimated credit losses (ECL) of accounts receivable and loans granted. We also considered the subsidiaries’ ability to repay the amounts due to the Company by examining their liquidity position based on their financial statements as well as their future cash flow forecasts. Finally, we considered the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures included in Notes 2, 16 and 17 about the significant assumptions used in the estimation of recoverable values and the results of the impairment as- sessment. 3. Key audit matter – Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets As at 31 December 2022, the Company had non-current and current trade accounts receivable and contract assets balance amounting to EUR 0.11 million and EUR 18.45 million respectively, reported in the statement of financial position as disclosed in Notes 4 and 19 of the financial statements. The estimation of the expected credit losses (ECL) as required by IFRS 9 Financial instruments involves significant management judgement. As disclosed in Note 2, specific factors management considers include analysis of the historical credit losses, consideration of economic developments and other subjective risk factors related to the specific debtor or debtors’ group. This matter is significant to our audit due to materiality of the amounts as these receivables constitute over 35.0% of the total assets of the Company in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 and high level of management judgement involved in the assessment of their impairment. How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures, among others, included the following: - We gained an understanding of the management’s process of estimation of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets. This included the consideration whether the model used to de- velop the estimate is appropriate and assessment whether the impairment accounting policy ap- plied by the Company is in line with the requirements of IFRS 9 Financial instruments. We also assessed how the management made the accounting estimate and the accuracy, completeness and relevance of the data on which it is based as follows: - For receivables and contract assets assessed by the management for impairment individually, we have discussed with the management selected individual balances, including management’s anal- ysis of expected recoverability of these balances, and also considered independently the indica- tions of potential understatement of ECL by assessing the ageing of the receivables and amounts collected after the date of the statement of financial position. - For receivables assessed by the management using the expected credit loss rate matrix, we have assessed the key estimates made by the management in developing the ECL matrix, including historical default rate information and forward-looking information as of 31 December 2022. We tested the correctness of aging of the receivables by agreeing the date to the invoices issued for selected items and verified the arithmetical accuracy of the management’s calculation of impair- ment. Furthermore, we have assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements on this matter (Notes 2, 4 and 19). 6 Grant Thornton Baltic UAB Vilnius | Upės st. 21 | 08128 Vilnius | Lithuania | T +370 52 127 856 | E info@lt.gt.com Kaunas | Jonavos st. 60C | 44192 Kaunas | Lithuania | T +370 37 422 500 | E kaunas@lt.gt.com Klaipėda | Taikos ave. 52c / Agluonos st. 1-1403 | 91184 Klaipėda | Lithuania | T +370 46 411 248 | E klaipeda@lt.gt.com Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd. Other information Other information consists of the information included in the Company’s and Consolidated Annual Report (hereinafter the “Company”), including the Corporate Governance Report, the Remuneration Report and the Corporate Social Responsibility Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information presentation. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as indicated below. In connection to our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Company’s Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements and whether the Company’s Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements. Based on the work carried out in the course of audit of financial statements, in our opinion, in all material respects: • The information given in the Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • The Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Reporting by Undertakings. It is also our responsibility check whether the Corporate Social Responsibility Report has been provided. If we identify that the Corporate Social Responsibility Report has not been provided, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accord- ance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such in- ternal 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. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease oper- ations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit con- ducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 7 Grant Thornton Baltic UAB Vilnius | Upės st. 21 | 08128 Vilnius | Lithuania | T +370 52 127 856 | E info@lt.gt.com Kaunas | Jonavos st. 60C | 44192 Kaunas | Lithuania | T +370 37 422 500 | E kaunas@lt.gt.com Klaipėda | Taikos ave. 52c / Agluonos st. 1-1403 | 91184 Klaipėda | Lithuania | T +370 46 411 248 | E klaipeda@lt.gt.com Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material mis- statement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effective- ness of the Company’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting esti- mates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condi- tions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclo- sures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a man- ner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be ex- pected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the decision made by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 29 July 2021, we have been chosen to carry out the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the first time. Our appointment to carry out the audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the decision made by the General Meeting of Shareholders is renewed every two years and the period of total uninterrupted engage- ment is two years. We confirm that our opinion in the section ‘Opinion’ is consistent with the additional Audit report which we have submitted to the Company and its Audit Committee. We confirm that to the best of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Company are consistent with the requirements of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The Company is also prepar- ing the Company and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial statements. Set of consolidated financial state- ments is kept at the Company’s registered office at P. Puzino st. 1, LT-35173 Panevėžys, the Republic of Lithuania, and published on website www.pst.lt. The information about the subsidiaries’ activities is pre- sented in Note 16. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not approve them and require a new set of financial statements to be prepared. The Company’s management authorised these financial statements on 4 April 2023. 2. Basis of Preparation Statement of compliance These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Stand- ards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter “IFRS”). Basis of preparation of the financial statements The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for land and buildings measured using the revaluation model and investment property measured at fair value. Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in euro, the national currency of the Republic of Lithuania, which is the Company’s functional currency. Due to rounding of certain amounts to thousand, figures in the tables may differ. Such rounding bias is immaterial in these financial statements. Judgements and estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judge- ments and estimates 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 under- lying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and have a significant risk of caus- ing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next financial year is included in the following notes: 15 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 2. Basis of preparation (continued) • Note 12: deferred taxes recognition. Deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences could be utilised. • Note 13: fair value of land and buildings which are measured using the revaluation model, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Company assesses the useful lives of prop- erty, plant and equipment and intangible assets at least once a year (Note 3.3). 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 Company’s real estate appraisal was carried out when preparing these financial statements, • Note 16: measurement of recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries. A key factor in estimating the recoverable amounts of the investment in subsidiaries is the recoverability of ongoing construction projects and other assets of subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company engaged external appraisers to esti- mate the fair values of these projects based on discounted cash flow or comparable price technique, the Company also relied on the Purchase and Sale Agreement signed with a third party after the reporting date and related information. • Notes 19 and 26: impairment of trade receivables and estimation of revenue from contracts with cus- tomers and contract assets as well as contract liabilities based on the stage of completion of the con- struction contracts. The accuracy of the recognition of revenue on contracts in progress is highly de- pendent on the judgement exercised by management in assessing the completeness and accuracy of planned costs (budget) as it is the key assumption in the assessment of revenue, contract assets and contract liabilities based on the stage of completion of the contracts in progress. Estimating the recov- erable amounts of receivables is a process, which requires significant management judgement and esti- mates, particularly those that are related to expected credit losses assessment based on the analysis of the historical credit losses, considerations of future factors and other subjective risk factors related to the specific debtor or debtors’ group. Estimates were applied in assessing the amounts to be collected and their timing. • Note 17: loans granted are classified as long-term or short-term. Additionally, the impairment testing requires the management to make an assessment of the significance of increase in credit risk since initial recognition, which is performed by the management considering the liquidity situation of subsidiaries taking into account their financial statements and cash flows forecasts. • Note 25: the Company estimates warranty provision on a monthly basis having regard to monthly rev- enue. Warranty provision is being estimated by taking into account revenue, actual warranty expenses incurred in previous periods, its proportion against actual sales, statutory term of warranty and historical information. • Note 28: The management judgements are to predict the outcome of litigations. Provisions are not rec- ognised in the financial statements as based on the management judgement it is more likely than not, that the Company will win the legal disputes mentioned in the Note 28, or it is not possible to assess reliably the possible outcome of the contingency at the moment. 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies During the reporting period, the Company adopted new standards and amendments to existing standards and their interpretations, which are relevant to the activities and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. (a) Standards, their amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contin- gent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments) (all issued on 14 May 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2022) The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows: • IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Frame- work for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 16 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous. • Annual Improvements 2018–2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of Interna- tional Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustra- tive Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The management assessed that these amendments has no material impact on the financial statements. (b) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted and their amendments New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not mandatory for reporting period beginning on 1 January 2022 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial statements are presented below: IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: the Deferral of Effective Dates of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for Insurers (Amend- ments) (issued on 25 June 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023). The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1 Jan- uary 2023, with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim at helping companies implement the Standard. Overall, the amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the standard; make it easier to explain financial performance; and ease transition by deferring the effective date of the standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS 17 for the first time. The amendments to IFRS 4 change the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The management has assessed that these amendments will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2023). The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with earlier application permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have also been applied. In its meeting in March 2020, IASB decided to defer the effective date of the standard to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. This Standard will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company as insur- ance services are not provided. IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments) (issued on 7 May 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023). Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023). The amendments effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Also, guidance and illus- trative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when 17 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January 2023). The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in fi- nancial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in ac- counting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (issued on 23 January 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU). The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants” (issued on 31 October 2022 with effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU): Modify the requirements introduced by Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current on how an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular circumstances: Only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the clas- sification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity has to disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with cov- enants could become repayable within twelve months. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The amendments are applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 and earlier application is permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The man- agement has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” with amendments that clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the require- ments in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale (issued on 22 September 2022 with effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU). Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. The amend- ments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 with earlier application permitted. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors to sale and leaseback transactions en- tered into after the date of initial application. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments. 18 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.1 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 recognised in profit or loss. Non- monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are re- translated 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 trans- lated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognised in statement of financial position. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss. 3.2 Financial instruments Financial instrument: a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement At initial recognition, financial asset is classified as either measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The classification of the financial asset depends on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset and the Company’s business model for managing the asset. These assets, except for trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component, are initially measured by the Company at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price identified under IFRS 15. Financial asset is classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, where cash flows arising from financial asset are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is known as the SPPI test and is performed for each financial instrument. The Company’s financial asset management model indicates how the Company manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will be generated by collecting contractual cash flows, by selling this financial asset or by using both options. Ordinary purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the financial asset. Subsequent measurement After initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets: (a) At amortised cost (debt instruments). At fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (debt instruments). As at 31 December 20221 and 2021, the Company did not have such financial instruments. (c) At fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments). As at 31 December 20221 and 2021, the Company did not have such financial instruments. (d) At fair value through profit or loss. As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have such financial instruments. Financial asset at amortised cost (debt instruments) The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost, if the two conditions are met: (i) The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and 19 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (ii) Contractual terms and conditions of financial asset allow for obtaining cash flows, on certain dates, which are solely the payments of the principal or the interest on the outstanding principal. Financial assets measured at amortised cost are subsequently accounted for by applying the effective inter- est method (EIR) less impairment losses. Gain or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables, loans granted. Impairment of financial assets In general, IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognize expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between all contractual cash flows and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive, discounted at the ap- proximate original effective interest rate. ECLs are recognised in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recogni- tion, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remain- ing life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract assets, the Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises an impairment loss based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. (a) Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets Based on the Company’s management assessment, trade receivables and contract assets do not include a significant financing component and are accordingly measured for impairment using the simplified method, i.e. management makes an individual assessment of expected credit losses for each important customer taking into account its credit history, future factors and subjective risk factors related to the borrower. To assess all other receivables the Company uses the expected loss rate matrix which is based on historical credit loss analysis and adjusted to reflect future factors specific to borrowers and the economic environ- ment. (b) Estimation of the impairment of loans granted The Company grants loans to the Group companies with a fixed maturity as it is disclosed in Note 17. For assessment of impairment of loans granted the expected 12-months credit losses are assessed and accounted upon issue of the loan. In subsequent periods, given the absence of significant increase in the credit risk associated with the debtor, the Company reassesses the 12-months ECL balance based on the loan amount still outstanding as of the date of the re-assessment. If it is determined that the financial position of the debtor has significantly deteriorated compared to the position prevailing at the time of the loan issue, the Company accounts for all the ECLs over the remaining life of the loan. Loans subject to assessment of lifetime ECLs are considered to be credit-impaired financial assets. The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due or when indications exist that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial diffi- culty, they breach the contract (such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments), there exists a probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and in cases where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. ECLs for loans and trade receivables is accounted for through profit/loss using allowance for doubtful debts. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. 20 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans received and payables. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans received and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, including bank overdrafts. Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below. Loans received and other payables After initial recognition, loans and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, when the liabil- ities are written off or amortised. Amortised cost is calculated by reference to the discount or premium on acquisition, as well as taxes or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR amortization is included in financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of finan- cial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, i.e. to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Derecognition of Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets A financial asset (or, where appropriate, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (i.e. it is removed from the statement of financial position of the Company) when: (i) the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or (ii) the Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or undertakes to remit, without material delay, any cash flows received to a third party under a transfer agreement and (a) has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred, nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has trans- ferred control of the asset. Once the Company transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset or enters into a qualifying pass-through arrangement with a third party, the Company evaluates whether and to what extent it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. When the Company neither trans- fers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transfers control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In this case, the Company also recognizes the associated liability. The transferred asset and associated liability are measured based on the rights and obligations retained by the Company. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower amount of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay (the amount of the guarantee). Financial liabilities A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or ex- pired. When a present financial liability is swapped with other liability to the same lessor, although, upon other conditions or when the present liability terms are substantially changed, this change is recognized as initial derecognition and establishment of a new liability. The difference between respective balance values is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 21 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.3 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. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method over the assessed useful life of an asset. 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 report- ing date. The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified independent real estate appraisers. The re- valuation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the depre- ciation 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 or loss. In case of revaluation, when the estimated fair value of the assets exceeds their residual value, the residual value is increased to the fair value and the amount of increase is included into revaluation reserve of prop- erty, plant and equipment as other comprehensive income in equity. However, such increase in revaluation is recognised as income to the extent it does not exceed the decrease of previous revaluation recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated from the depreciable amount which is equal to acquisition cost or revaluated amount less residual value of an asset. The accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Upon disposal or recognising regular depreciation charge, any revaluation surplus relating to the particular asset being depreciation or sold is transferred to retained earnings. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-con- structed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bring- ing 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 capitalised. When components of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised 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 residual value of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation is calculated 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 and structures 8–40 years • Plant and equipment 5–10 years • Vehicles 5–10 years • Fixtures and fittings 3–6 years Depreciation methods, residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the residual value of property, plant and equipment and are recognised net within other income or expenses. When revalued assets are sold or reclassified, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are trans- ferred to retained earnings. 22 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.4 Intangible assets Software and other intangible assets, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised 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. The Company does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful life. 3.5 Investment Property Investment property of the Company consist of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital appre- ciation, 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 property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recog- nition, investment property is measured at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment property 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 assets. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attribut- able 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 capitalised. Investment property is derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment prop- erty 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, plant and equipment, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property, plant and equipment is reclassified to 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. 3.6 Leased Assets and Lease Liabilities A. Company as a lessee At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company (as a lessee) applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Right of use assets The Company recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the un- derlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depre- ciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incen- tives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: • Cars 3 years 23 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.6 Leased Assets and Lease Liabilities (continued) • Buildings and structures 5 years If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (in- cluding in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exer- cising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recog- nised as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the estimates of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Company apply the short-term lease recognition exemption to its non-current-asset (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). Lease payments on short term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. (B) The Company as a lessor: The Company’s buildings that are leased under the operating lease agreements are accounted in the state- ment of financial position as investment property. Lease income is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease period. 3.7 Investments in Subsidiaries and Joint Arrangements Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control. These arrangement has the following characteristics: • The parties are bound by a contractual arrangement. • The contractual arrangement gives two or more of those parties joint control of the arrangement. The Company has a joint arrangement that is a joint operation (Note 16). As a joint operator the Company recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation: • its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly; • its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly; • its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation; • its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and • its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly. 24 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.8 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 (FIFO) principle, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, pro- duction 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. Inventories related to ongoing construction projects are accounted for under inventories caption in the statement of financial position until inventories are used in construction process and further are accounted for as cost of sales. Project related inventories’ accounting policy is the same as stated above. Unrealisable inventory is fully write-off. 3.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and cash at banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of 3 months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and in current bank accounts, as well as deposits in bank with original term equal to or less than 3 months. 3.10 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 flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognised in profit or loss. However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Such an impairment loss on a revalued asset reduces the revaluation surplus for that asset. Impairment losses recognised 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 recognised. 3.11 Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. 3.12 Provisions A provision is recognised 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 out- flow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discount- ing the expected future cash flows to their present value at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assess- ments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. 25 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.12 Provisions (continued) A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying construction services are sold, i.e. assurance type warranties, as the Company does not grant additional warranties to the customers. The provision is based on historical warranty costs data and probabilities. 3.13 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. In accordance with the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, each employee leaving the Company at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment amounting to two-month salary. Previously incurred service costs are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of changes in terms of benefits (curtailment or settlement) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Current year cost of employee benefits is recognised as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income. The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. Obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of these benefits on the preparation date of the statement of financial position. Present value of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the discount rate which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar maturity as the employment benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income as incurred. Short-term employee benefits are recognised 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. 3.14 Revenue Revenue from contracts with customers The Company’s primary business activity is the construction of buildings, structures, plant and equipment and communication facilities. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised at the amount to which the entity expects to be entitled to in return for the sale of goods or services when a control of goods or services is transferred to the customer. Generally, the Company does not have significant variable compo- nents of remuneration in its contracts with customers. The Company has concluded that generally it is the principal in its construction services contracts even when the subcontractors are used in the implementation of the projects, because the Company: - controls the goods and services before transferring them to the customer; - is responsible for the overall performance of the contract with the customer and is exposed to the risk of default; - the entity has discretion in establishing the price. Performance obligations arising from the construction contracts with customers are fulfilled over time and respectively revenue from the construction and installation services are recognised over time if any of the following criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance; (b) the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the cus- tomer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or (c) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance com- pleted to date. When the Company can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, the Company recognises revenue and expenses in relation to each construction contract over time, based on the progress of performance. The progress of performance is assessed based on the propor- tion of the costs incurred in fulfilling the contract up to date over to the total estimated costs of the con- struction contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably (for example, in the early stages of a contract), only the portion of the contract costs incurred that is expected to be recovered is recognised as revenue 26 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.14 Revenue (continued) Contract modification (scope or price or both) are accounted for as a separate contract if the scope of the contract increases because of the addition of promised goods or services that are distinct and the price of the contract increases by an amount of consideration that reflects the Group’s stand-alone selling prices of the additional promised goods or services in the circumstances of the particular contract. Otherwise the contract modification is accounted as (a) termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification, or (b) part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. The effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the Company's measure of progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification. Provisions for loss making contracts are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) to complete the construction contract for the third party for the price that is lower than the total estimated cost to perform the contract as of the date of the financial statements. The difference between the contract price and the total estimated cost of delivery under the contract is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income at the reporting date. Where the contract costs are expected to exceed contract revenue, the loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. When performing the contracts the Company may receive short-term prepayments from its customers. Applying the practical expedient, the Company is not adjusting the price allocation by the financing component, if at the inception of the contract it is ex- pected that the time period from the customer payment for goods/services until the delivery of these goods/services will not exceed one year. Balances under contract Contract assets Contract asset is the right of the Company to remuneration in exchange for the goods or services that have been transferred to the customer. If the Company performs the contract by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before the Company’s right to amount of consideration is unconditional, the Company reports such a right to consideration as a contract asset, except for any amounts reported as receivables. Receivables Receivable represents the Company’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due. Receivables are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9 (Note 3.2). Contract liability A contract liability is the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract liability is recognised as revenue when the Company performs under the contract. Revenue from the sale of other services or goods is recognised when the services are rendered or control of the inventory is transferred, but such transactions are relatively insignificant. 3.15 Finance Income and Expense Financial income comprises interest income and dividend income. Interest income is recognised as it ac- crues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Company’s right to receive payment is established. Financial costs comprise interest expense and other financial ex- penses. All borrowing costs are recognised using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis in profit or loss. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 27 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 3.16 Income Tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date. Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is recognised, providing for temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting pur- poses and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the statement of financial position. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. 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 realised. Starting from 1 January 2014, the tax loss carried forward cannot exceed 70% of the taxable profit of current financial year in Lithuania. Tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the company changes its activities due to which these losses were incurred except when the entity does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself. The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and can only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature. 3.17 Earnings per Share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data. 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 em- ployees. The Company has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share. 3.18 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 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. For management purpose, the Company is considered as a single construction activity business segment. Due to this no additional disclosures are presented in these financial statements regarding segments on the Company level. In 2022 and 2021, the Company also does not distinguish geographical segments, as the Company’s income from foreign countries did not account for more than 10% of the total income and most of its non-current assets are also located in Lithuania. 3.19 Determination of Fair Value 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 meas- urement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Company has 28 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate. 3.19 Determination of Fair Value (continued) 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 recognises 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 methods and assumptions described in Notes 13, 15, 16 and 29. Where applicable, further information about the assump- tions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. 3.20 Offsetting When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities as well as revenues and expenses are not set off except for the cases where the International Financial Reporting Standards specifically require such off- setting. 4. Financial Risk Management Overview The Company has exposure to the following financial 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. Fur- ther quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements. The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk manage- ment 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 condi- tions and the Company’s activities. The Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and liabilities. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contract liabilities, 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 measure of credit risk is the maximum credit risk for each class of financial instruments, which is equal to their carrying amount. The maximum amount of exposure to credit risk in relation to particular classes corresponds to their carrying amount. 29 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 4.

Financial Risk Management (continued) The main components of this allowance are specific losses that relate to individually significant accounts receivable and expected credit losses recognised using ECLs method (in line with IFRS 9). Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experienced. Maturity and ageing of loans granted is presented in Note 17. Following removal of the subsidiary OOO Baltlitstroj from the register on 25 November 2022, the Com- pany’s other current assets were written off, since were fully impaired as at 31 December 2021 (Note 20). Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank; therefore, the related credit risk is relatively low. Apart from the impairment already recognised as at 31 December 2022, the management considers that there is no risk of material loss to the Company. 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 risk 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 borrowings; On 20 February 2023, the agreement was signed with the Tax Authority on the payment of the fine imposed in equal instalments over period of four years. The liabilities are classified as current until the agreement is approved by the court. Payment terms of financial liabilities, including calculated interest, as to the agreements, as at 31 December 2022 are presented below: (EUR thousand) Carrying amount Contractual net cash flows Up to 6 months More than 6 months Liabilities Trade payables 13,979 13,979 13,979 0 Lease liabilities 704 704 146 558 Liabilities related to the fine imposed by the Competi- tion Council 5,775 5,775 5,775 0 Total 20,458 2,0458 19,900 558 * The full amount of the fine is presented as payable within six months because, as described above, when preparing these financial statements, the management was guided by the judgement that the Company does not yet have a court settlement signed with the Tax Authority. The Company currently pays the said fine in equal parts for a period of four years (with additional interest). Payment terms of financial liabilities, including calculated interest, as to the agreements, as at 31 December 2021 are presented below: (EUR thousand) Carrying amount Contractual net cash flows Up to 6 months More than 6 months Liabilities Trade payables 11,811 11,811 11,811 0 Lease liabilities 977 9,77 146 831 Liabilities related to the fine imposed by the Competi- tion Council 8,542 8,542 8,542 0 21,330 21,330 20,499 831 * The full amount of the fine is presented as payable within six months because, as described above, when preparing the financial statements for the year 2021, the management was guided by the judgement that the Company does not yet have an irrevocable contractual right to defer the payment until the settlement agreement is signed with the Tax Authority, but the Company currently paying the said fine in equal parts for a period of eight years (without additional interest). 31 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 4. Financial Risk Management (continued) On 17 June 2021, an overdraft agreement was signed with bank with the limit of EUR 5 million. As at 31 December 2022 overdraft limit was not used (Note 23).

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. As at 31 Decem- ber 2022 and 2021, the Company did not use any derivatives. Currency risk. The Company is exposed to the significant risk of changes in foreign currency rates, since sales and receivables, purchases, payables and borrowings are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are not material. The majority of monetary assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2022 and 2021 were denominated in EUR. Interest rate risk. The Company’s issued and received 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 loans, the change of interest rate would not have a material effect as disclosed below. The Company’s financial assets and borrowings subject to variable interest rates outstanding as of 31 De- cember 2022 were as follows: Contract cur- rency 2022 2021 Long-term loans granted EUR thousand 5,954 5,799 Short-term loans granted EUR thousand 1,358 1,395 Total 7,312 7,194 Loans received (overdraft) EUR thousand 0 0 Total 0 0 With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 December 2022, the Company’s net profit would increase by approximately EUR 28 thousand. With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 Decem- ber 2021, the Company’s net profit would increase by approximately EUR 35 thousand. Capital management The policy of the Board 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. The Board also aims to keep balance between higher return, which could be available if there was higher level of borrowed “funds” and security, which is provided by higher level of equity.

The last external revaluation was performed as on 31 December 2022 based on the estimates on possible market prices of the Company’s land and buildings provided by independent appraisers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain category. The valuation was performed using the comparable value approach. Significant unob- servable 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 net book value as at 31 December 2022 would be equal to EUR 1,638 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 1,637 thousand). As at 31 December 2022, the acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted to EUR 2,108 thousand, (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 1,376 thousand).

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 further 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. The discounted cash flow method was used in the valuation (discount rate – 9%, exit yield – 7%, occupation rate 80–90%; the same assumptions were used in 2022 and 2021). If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), then investment property fair value would decrease by approx. EUR 105 thousand, and if exit yield would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), the fair value of investment property would decrease by EUR 102 thousand. The identified fair value of the above investment property of EUR 1,550 thousand (in 2021: EUR 1,420 thousand) was attributed to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancella- ble lease agreements were the following: EUR 171 thousand in less than one year, EUR 112 thousand between one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 123 thousand in less than one year, EUR 165 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from the hotel premises rent in 2022 amounted to EUR 123 thousand (in 2021: EUR 102 thousand) and was accounted for under other income (see Note 10). In addition, the Company reclassified the operational buildings, storages and other premises, leased to both subsidiaries and third parties, to investment property. Calculated fair value of these buildings as at 31 December 2018 amounted to EUR 1,350 thousand, which was evaluated in accordance with the reports of independent real estate appraisers and a percentage of leased space. The assessment of assets was carried out by UAB corporation Matininkai. Assets were evaluated using comparable and income methods, with regard to the larger value. An average discount rate of 11.91% was applied to income method in accordance with weighted average cost of capital. The latter investment property was attributed to Level 3 in fair value hierarchy. The management assessed that the fair value of the investment property did not change significantly. Expected rental receivables of this investment property under uncancellable contracts as at 31 December 2022 amounted to: EUR 355 thousand in less than one year, EUR 469 thousand be- tween one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 281 thousand in less than one year, EUR 490 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2022 amounted to EUR 332 thousand (in 2021: EUR 324 thousand) and was accounted for under other income. 38 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 16.

In addition, the Group has guarantees of EUR 15,503 thousand issued by insurance companies, which are also related to liabilities in the construction contracts (in 2021: EUR 13,392). The guarantees expire in the period from 1 January 2023 to 16 December 2025. No additional liabilities are recorded in respect of these guarantees in the financial state- ments other than estimated warranty reserve (Note 25). Property with a carrying amount of EUR 3,272 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (EUR 2,475 thousand as at 31 December 2021) has been pledged to banks for the guarantee limit issued and guarantees issued by bank. As at 31 December 2022, the guarantee limit amounted to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 10,456 thousand. The guarantee limit agreement is effective until 30 June 2023 with the possibility to issue guarantees until 30 June 2023 that would be valid for 3 years following their date of issue. Guarantees are valid for 5 years following their date of issue if the amount does not exceed EUR 1,500 thousand. As at 31 December 2021, the guarantee limit amounted to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 8,013 thousand. Legal contingencies The Group is involved in below described material legal cases: (1) The Competition Council has made a decision as of 20 December 2017 „UAB Regarding Irdaiva and AB PST actions in joint participation in public tenders of buildings renovation and modernization works meeting the requirements of 5th article of the Competition law of the Re- public of Lithuania”. Based on the Competition Council decision, joint activity agreement signed between the Group and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders organized by UAB Vilniaus Vystymo Kompanija intended to limit competition and violated the requirements of Article 5(1) of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania. A fine was set to the Group in total amount of EUR 8,514 thousand. On 3 June 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the Group against the decision of the Competition Council. As a consequence, the Group recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8,514 thousand and related interest charge amounting to EUR 1,385 thousand, and the bailiff enforcement fee amounting to EUR 396 thousand. 46 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 28. Contingent Liabilities (continued) The Group recognised the full amounts of fine, interest and enforcement fees in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, however the management took additional legal actions to reduce the interest and the enforcement fee amounts, as further described below. The Tax Authority informed the participants involved in the enforcement process by the letter No 21915 (individual administrative act) of 12 August 2020 on the decision to set the payment of fine and interest imposed on the Group in equal parts for a period of eight years. The Tax Authority also stated that the bailiff's enforcement fees should not be included in the payment schedule. On 20 February 2023, the Settlement Agreement was signed with the Tax Authority, with the fine payable in equal instalments over four years period. Also, the Group’s assets with the net book value of EUR 3,394 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (in 2021: EUR 3,057 thousand) was arrested as a guarantee for fulfilment of the obliga- tions. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-238-1105/2021 regarding the bail- iff’s orders by which the enforcement fees were calculated. By the ruling of 8 February 2022, the Court overturned the order No S-20-102-25277 of S. Ramanauskas, a bailiff, dated 7 September 2020, regarding the recovery of enforcement fees in the enforcement proceedings No 0102/20/00638. The parties to the proceedings did not appeal, and thus bailiff's enforcement fees decreased from EUR 396 thousand to EUR 45 thousand. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-8648-452/2020 [2YT-230- 452/2021] regarding the bailiff’s orders by which the interest payable and the enforcement fees were calculated under the Decision No 2S-11(2017) of 20 December 2017 of the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dismissed the appeal by an order of 13 January 2021. This order was appealed by bringing a separate appeal on 20 January 2021. By order of 20 April 2021, the Panevėžys Regional Court upheld the decision of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court unchanged. This decision was appealed in cassation. On 14 April 2022, the Supreme Court of Lithuania overturned the ruling of the Panevėžys Regional Court dated 20 April 2021 and remitted the case to the appeal court for reconsideration. On 14 June 2022, the Panevėžys Regional Court over- turned the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 January 2021, and decided this question on the merits: upheld the appeal against the actions of bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas in enforcement proceedings No OI 02/20/00638; repealed the bailiff's or- der No S-20- 17054 dated 11 June 2020, order No S-20-102-17225 dated 12 June 2020, order No 20-102-17214 dated 12 June 2020, order No S-20-102-17969 dated 18 June 2020 and order No S-20-102-18809 dated 30 June 2020 concerning the calculation of interest and enforcement fees (bailiff fees), and ordered the bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas to carry out a recalculation of the interest and enforcement fees specified in these orders. On this basis, the interest charged de- creased from EUR 1,385 thousand to EUR 252 thousand. At the Tax Authority (Plaintiff) request, enforcement proceedings No 0102/20/00638 were stayed by the bailiff's order of 14 July 2022. On 21 February 2023, the Tax Authority submitted the letter to Saulius Ramanauskas No RNA- 5192 “Regarding Approval of the Settlement Agreement in the Enforcement Proceedings” dated 20 February 2023 and “Settlement Agreement in the Enforcement Proceedings” dated 17 Febru- ary 2023. The letter contains requests to submit the Settlement Agreement to the court for ap- proval and to inform the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania thereof. On 13 March 2023, the Panevėžys Regional Court passed the ruling on approval of the settlement agreement in the enforcement proceedings. The court ruling is not final and subject to appeal. On 17 March 2023, AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS submitted a separate complaint regarding the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March 2023 in the proceedings No 2VP-2582-837/2023, by which it requested to set aside the order of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March 2023 in the proceed- ings No 2VP-2582-837/2023, and to pass new ruling to satisfy the statement submitted by the bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas and to approve the Settlement Agreement. 47 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 28. Contingent Liabilities (continued) On 21 March 2023, a separate complaint of the Tax Authority was filed before the Panevėžys District Court regarding the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 January 2023, by which it is requested to set aside the order of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March 2023 in the proceedings No 2VP- 2582-837/2023, and to pass new ruling to satisfy the statement submitted by the bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas and to approve the Settlement Agreement. On 20 February 2023, the agreement was signed with the Tax Authority on the payment of the fine imposed in equal instalments over period of four years. The liabilities are classified as cur- rent until the agreement is approved by the court. 29.

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 principal (or the most advantageous) market independent irrespective of whether this price is directly observable or established using valuation techniques. 49 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 30.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments not carried at fair value: Cash Cash represents cash at banks and on hand stated at value equal to the fair value. Receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables and loans granted is estimated at the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. Fair value of short-term trade and other receivables 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 dis- counting is immaterial. The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as discounting effect was determined to be not material. The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the loans are subject of market level variable interest. 50 AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“ Separate Financial Statements 30. 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. Fair value of current trade payables 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. The fair value of borrowings (overdraft) was estimated to approximate carrying value as it is subject to variable interest. The carrying value of lease liabilities approxi- mates the fair value as it is a subject to interest. The fair value of fine under the decision of the Competition Council is considered its carrying value, since it is not subject to interest. 31.

Events after the End of the Reporting Period After the end of the financial year and up until the date these financial statements were approved, no other significant subsequent events occurred. Geopolitical developments led to a very signif- icant change in the prices of raw and construction materials in Q1 and Q2 of 2022. The Group had fixed-price contracts for work, thus the majority of the costs of raw and construction materi- als substantially increased the cost of sales. The increased costs were partially offset by indexa- tion of sales prices to customers, as well as part of the costs was shared by suppliers and subcon- tractors. Geopolitical events in 2022 also affected supply chains, resulting in delays in some ma- terials, and affected the time-limits for the implementation of contract projects, as well as the Group’s sales volume. In 2023, the geopolitical uncertainty remains, but no significant negative impact on the Group’s plans for 2023 is expected. To mitigate uncertainty and manage risks, the Group takes a proactive approach in cost management, in particular, in reducing of costs, pur- chasing of materials, etc. Managing director Egidijus Urbonas 04/04/2023 Chief accountant Danguolė Širvinskienė 04/04/2023 Company’s and Consolidated Annual Report, Governance Report, Consolidated Report of Social Responsibility, and Remuneration Report of Panevezio statybos trestas AB for 2022 52 I.

The court motivated their decision mainly by the fact that the case is of little significance to the practice of the Lithuanian courts and public procurement. The court judgement and the outcome of the dispute will not affect the future operations of the company as its possibilities for participation in public procurement are no longer restricted. 57 8 March 2022. Panevezio statybos trestas AB notified that it ceases to operate its companies located in the region of the Russian Federation: - Operation of Baltevromarket ZAO ISK, with 100 per cents of the authorized capital hold by PST Investicijos UAB, is ceased though there have been no assets owned by the company since mid of 2021; - Teritorija OOO has been out of active operation for the period of three years (de-registered on 21 December 2022) ; - Baltlitstroj OOO is declared bankrupt and is in the process of the relevant proceedings (de- registered on 25 November 2022).

The Supreme Court of Lithuania annulled the decisions of the courts of first and appeal instance and remitted the case to the Appeal Court. The Supreme Court interpreting the provisions of the Competition Law regarding the calculation of interest stated that the Appeal Court misapplied the provisions of the Competition Law governing the procedure for calculating the interest due for non-payment of fines for competition law infringements and ruled that the maximum interest period of 180 days shall be applied. According to the PST the bailiff's order under appeal calculated interest for the entire period of the court proceedings and for an additional 180 days which amounts to EUR 1,385,178.76, the recalculated amount of interest for 180 days should amount to EUR 251,906.30.

The State Tax Inspectorate under the Ministry of Finance informed Panevezio statybos trestas AB (the Company) that the European Commission had closed the procedure for notifying the state aid to the Company started as a result of distribution of the fine imposed by the Competition Council. The European Commission had given an explanation that if for payment in instalments by the Company of the imposed fine (economic sanction) together with the procedural interest rate established by law is subject to the additional annual interest rate corresponding to market conditions, such aid shall not be considered to be the state aid. 15 June 2022. By the court judgement dated 14 June 2022, the Panevezys Regional Court satisfied the complaint by the Company against the actions of the bailiff in the enforcement case and revoked the bailiff's orders regarding calculation of interest and enforcement costs - the bailiff's remuneration - and placed the bailiff under the obligation to recalculate the interest and enforcement costs indicated in the mentioned orders. It should be recalled that in its judgement the Supreme Court of Lithuania had vacated the ruling and the judgement byre the courts of the first and appeal instances and referred the case back to the appeal instance. In interpreting the provisions of the Law on Competition in relation to interest calculation, the Supreme Court of Lithuania found that the appeal court had misapplied the rules of the Law on Competition governing the procedure for calculation of interest due for the fine unpaid for infringement of the competition rights and stated that in all cases the maximum period of 180 days for calculation of interest should be applied. Based on the orders under complaint, the calculated interest amounted to 1,385,178.76 Euros, whereas considering interpretation by the Supreme Court of Lithuania, interest due for the period of 180 days amounts to 251,906.30 Euros. 2 August 2022.

The General Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders was reconvened to take the resolution on approval of the agreed material conditions for the settlement agreement with the State Tax Inspectorate. For several years now, taking into account the risks involved, the Company has been putting tendentious efforts to withdraw from the market of the Russian Federation. Risk factors related to the Company’s activities: In their operation, both the Company and the Group face various types of risks, such as legal regulation, severe competition, shortage of qualified labour, cyclical nature of economy, consistency of orders, volatile material prices in the global market, macroeconomic factors, damping. However, only a few of them may have significant impact on the performance results of the Group and the Company. The main factors that create business risk for the Company and the Group are competition in the construction market and changes in the demand for construction services. The demand for construction services also depends heavily on the volume of investments and financing received from the EU structural funds. Increase and variation of material and service prices make the process of the project budgeting and possibility to complete the already started projects based on the planned costs more difficult. This results in extra risk for performance of fixed price construction contracts and reduces profitability of projects. Furthermore, activity of the Company and the Group is influenced by the economic situation (economic cycles), geopolitical changes in Lithuania and the countries where the Group companies operate, Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, and remaining risks related to COVID-19. Although there is still some uncertainty about the trends in global economic development as well as regional and global crisis in future. Information on the types of financial risks and risk management is provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 4) and Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 4). Legal uncertainties are provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 28) and Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 27). 10. Analysis of financial and non-financial performance, information related to environmental and employee matters Some recent years are a big challenge for the global and Lithuanian economy. At the end of pandemic, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, which began at the beginning of the year, caused a major geopolitical crisis. Therefore, the large increase in prices of energy resources resulted in further rise of already high inflation. The war in Ukraine has greatly influenced activities of the Company as well as the entire construction sector. Since the beginning of the war, the considerable increase in material prices, shortage of raw materials and supply disturbances have had a significant impact on performance results. 60 Over the twelve months of 2022, the turnover of Panevezio statybos trestas AB amounted to 79.222 mln. Euros, whereas the revenue of the Company for the twelve months of 2021 amounted to 65.721 mln. Euros. The revenue of the Company increased by 20 per cents compared to that in 2021.

The following financial risks are faced within the Group: credit, liquidity, market, business and operational. The Board is responsible for setting up and maintaining the risk management structure. The risk management policy of the Group is aimed at identifying and analysing the risks faced by the Group, introduction and maintenance of appropriate limits and controls. The risk management policy and risk management systems are reviewed at regular intervals to reflect changes in market conditions and operation of the Group. The Group seeks to create a disciplined and constructive environment for risk management where all employees know their roles and responsibilities. Based on the credit risk policy established by the Group, standard payments and terms are only offered after credit standing of each new client has been assessed. The potential credit risk for the clients of the Group and the Company is managed through continuous monitoring of outstanding balances.

The Company plans actions to eliminate risks, how actions should be integrated and implemented in the EMS processes, assessment criteria and effectiveness of these actions. Panevezio statybos trestas AB has the Risk and Opportunity Register prepared. The significant environmental aspects are determined in all branches, subsidiary companies and sites of the Company after significance of activity impact on environment is taken into account and legal requirements are identified. The environmental aspects are identified by analysing past, current and potential beneficial and adverse environmental impact of activities, services and products of the subdivisions. The review of these aspects is performed at least once per year and in case the nature of activities or any other conditions, such as a process, materials used, technologies, etc., changes, provided they condition occurrence of new environmental aspects. The site aspects are identified individually for each project. The significant environmental aspects can cause one or more significant environmental impacts and therefore can result in risks and opportunities to be assessed in order to ensure the Company is able to achieve the intended outcomes of the EMS. When determining environmental aspects, a life cycle perspective is taken into account. The following key life cycle stages of a product/service are thought over and evaluated: raw material acquisition, design, production of construction products, transportation, construction of a building, use of a building, end-of-life treatment and final disposal (waste recycling and management). For each aspect possible legal and other requirements, which can affect activities of the Company and the Group, are identified. As every year, in 2022 the Company monitored the EMS indicators and performed measurements: amount of waste, amount of hazardous chemicals used, incidents related to soil pollution with oil products, rainwater pollution, emissions from internal combustion engines, air pollution with particulate matter, noise, indoor dust, street pollution with dirt/dust, consumption of electricity, water, fuel, etc. The use of hazardous chemicals in construction sites is being reduced by replacing them with less hazardous ones. In its operation the company uses only green electricity produced from renewable energy sources. Panevezio statybos trestas AB has a responsible approach on the issues of climate change and is not only a consumer of electricity, but also a producer. 75 In its activities, the Company uses only green electricity generated from renewable electricity sources. Panevezio statybos trestas AB takes a responsible approach to the issue of climate change and is not only a consumer of electricity, but also a producer. Panevezio statybos trestas AB operates a 200 kW solar power plant, which annually generates approximately 200 thousand kWh of electric power, this makes about 30 per cents of all electric power consumed by the production facilities. In 2023, expansion of this power plant is planned so that the amount of electric power generated by the plant covers up to 60 percent of all electric power consumed by the production facilities. In addition to that, the Company operates three power plants 30 kW each, which together generate about 80,000 kWh of renewable electric power supplied to the power grid. In 2022, the company of the Group, Skydmedis UAB, started operating a 50 kW solar power plant. During the first year of operation, the investments met the expectations, which allowed the company of the Group company to generate up to 97 per-cents of required electric power. During 2022, Panevezio statybos trestas AB produced 443.932 thousand kWh of electric power from its own renewable power generation sources and this allowed to avoid 174,021 kg of CO 2 greenhouse gas emissions, which would be equivalent to 5194 planted trees. The company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB, started using a bioboiler for heating of premises. 30 per cents of the biofuel required for operation of this boiler is obtained from production timber waste, which does not need to be disposed of. The MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex400 MC Wheel Washing System has been successfully in use. The closed-cycle wheel washing system not only reduces street pollution with dirt, prevents contaminated water from entering urban sewage networks, but also does not interfere with other road users when cleaning roads and is an alternative to sweeping brooms that cause dust and particulate matter spread in the city. The accounting of generated waste is performed in the GPAIS module: https://www.gpais.eu. The Group sorted out the following quantities of waste for recycling and reuse, as well as secondary raw materials: 2022 2021 Group incl. Company Group incl. Company Timber waste, t 104.93 98.67 71.03 68.89 Paper, cardboard waste, t 7.445 7.365 12.83 12.83 Polyethylene waste, t 0.875 0.065 7.69 7.69 To reduce air pollution Gerbusta branch performs control of emissions from vehicles and machinery with internal combustion engines, Skydmedis UAB monitors air cleaning equipment, Hustal UAB makes efficiency measurements of air cleaning equipment in painting chambers. Renewable car fleet. We reject old polluting cars by adding new, less polluting cars to the fleet. 30 per cents of the vehicles owned by the Group comply with the requirements of the Euro 6 emission standard. In 2022 the pollution charges paid amounted to 209,829 Euros (132,955 Euros in 2021) for the Group and 193,502 Euros (123,071 Euros in 2021) for the Company, including: 2022 2021 Euros Group incl.

Company Pollution with packaging waste 2,468 1,173 2,797 1,383 Pollution from mobile pollution sources 7,738 6,747 6,556 5,844 Environment protection (waste management) 199,623 185,582 123,642 115,844 The construction sector is a significant contributor to global CO 2 emissions due to its huge workload. The companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group are looking for ways to reduce them. This 76 is done by prioritizing optimization of resources, search for and implementation of sustainable solutions and innovations. Modern engineering systems creating a healthy working environment are applied in the buildings under construction. The use of hazardous chemicals in construction sites is reduced by replacing them with less hazardous ones. As an example, in one of our projects we used Ecocrete concrete of a special formula developed for us and with lower CO 2 emissions, which has the same standard and early strength indicators as common concrete, but guarantees a fairly significant reduction in CO 2 emissions. The changed climatic conditions are taken into account in the construction process of the new buildings. As the temperature conditions change, the needs for indoor ventilation, heating and cooling also change. Therefore, new technological and architectural solutions are being implemented. The new buildings construction of which is currently started by the Company are of the A++ energy efficiency class. The buildings of the A ++ energy efficiency class use almost no thermal energy, which contributes to the climate change mitigation. The construction sector uses very unsustainable CO 2 -neutral materials: steel, cement, glass, etc., therefore solutions are being sought to make the construction process more environmentally friendly, i. e. use of organic materials. For construction of new buildings, sustainable materials are used more often. After the life cycle of the building these materials could be reused for a new life cycle or be environmentally friendly and do not result in pollutions by means of recycling. One such material is timber. Skydmedis UAB, the company of the Group, uses timber panels for the construction of houses. Designers apply the highest standards for design and construction of a building, contributing to environmental sustainability and healthy work environment. In the design process much attention is paid to ensuring indoor air quality, intelligent lighting in accordance with good international practices, sound resistance that retains external noise. The B2EAM New Construction Very Good certificate confirming the above measures has been awarded to the Business Centre U219. This certificate also acknowledges the responsible approach of developers to the environment and human health, and guarantees long-term returns. The report was prepared taking into account the Communication from the European Commission Guidelines on Non-Financial Reporting (017/C 215/01). Relationship with Employees The main asset of the Company is employees, who are the most important link in achieving the objectives.

Overview of the alignment with the EU Taxonomy Regulation The Taxonomy (Taxonomy regulation, 2020/852) of the European Union (EU) is a classification system for sustainable economic activities designed to direct private investment to environmentally sustainable activities that contribute to the environmental objectives of the European Green Deal. The Taxonomy regulation sets out scientific evidence-based criteria for assessing the sustainability of an activity. The activities of those enterprises that fall under the Taxonomy list and meet the criteria provided can be classified as sustainable and attract green investments. Taxonomy-eligible economic activity is defined as the activity described in the relevant delegated acts of the Taxonomy regulation, in other words, included in the Taxonomy. Companies that have determined that their revenue (turnover), capital expenditure (CapEx) and / or operating costs (OpEx) are related to activities described in the delegated acts must analyse and disclose to what extent their activities meet Taxonomy criteria on these indicators. In this report, in accordance with the provisions of the Taxonomy regulation and related delegated acts, we provide the main performance indicators and information on the alignment of Taxonomy-eligible activities with the criteria. For information comparison, we provide data for both 2022 and 2021. Assessment of revenue in accordance with Taxonomy After the analysis, we found that Panevezio statybos trestas AB receives part of its revenue from Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The Company's main economic activity - construction - is also Taxonomy-eligible; in Taxonomy corresponding to 7.1. Construction of new buildings. Construction economic activity accounts for the largest share of the Company's revenue, which amounted to 74.71% in 2022, and 70.89% in 2021. Other activities of the Company that are considered Taxonomy-eligible are listed under Taxonomy as 7.7. Acquisition and ownership of buildings and 7.2. Renovation of existing buildings. The share of revenue generated from these additional activities totaled 2.36% in 2022 and 10.57% in 2021. The following tables show detailed results of assessing Taxonomy-eligible activities according to technical screening criteria. Technical screening criteria assess whether an activity meets Taxonomy requirements and can be designated as sustainable regarding environmental impact. Activities are primarily assessed based on criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation. In addition, it is assessed whether they do no significant harm (DNSH) for other environmental goals. During the technical screening, we found that the Company's current activities only meet some Taxonomy criteria. For example, the main activity of the Company 7.1. Construction of new buildings is subject to quite challenging climate change mitigation criteria: new buildings must meet even higher requirements than are currently applied to buildings of the highest energy performance class A++, which are almost energy-free. Nevertheless, we plan to look for ways to meet the Taxonomy criteria as much as possible. 80 Revenue according to Taxonomy in 2022 Substantial contribution criteria Do no significant harm criteria Economic activity NACE code(s) Absolute revenue 2022 Proportion of revenue 2022 Climate change mitigation Climate change adaptation Climate change mitigation Climate change adaptation Water and marine resources Circular economy Pollution Biodiversity and ecosystems Minimum safeguards Taxonomy -aligned proportion of revenue 2022 Taxonomy -aligned proportion of revenue 2021 Category (enabling) Category (transi tional) thousa nd Eur % % % Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N Y/N % % E T A.
