We have audited the accompanying financial statements of AB Snaige (hereinafter the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2009, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes (a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes).
The Company's management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. Except as discussed in section Basis for Qualified Opinion on the Financial Position, we conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing as set forth by the International Federation of Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial position.
We have issued a disclaimer of the audit opinion dated 5 April 2009 on the financial statements of AB Snaigė for the year ended 31 December 2008 due to significant uncertainties related to unfavourable impact on the Company's operations caused by the worldwide economic crisis. During 2009 the Company's management has resolved the immediate issues that gave rise to significant uncertainties affecting the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008. Based on this, the Company has adjusted the figures according to the finally approved plan of operations, recording all changes in the statement of comprehensive income for the year 2009. Although a number of business reasons that gave rise to these adjustments have originated prior to the year 2009, it is not possible to determine the effects thereof on the statements of comprehensive income and cash flows between the year 2008 and the year 2009.
As of 31 December 2009 the Company has an outstanding receivable from the subsidiary Techprominyest OOO amounting to LTL 38,260 thousand. Recoverability of this amount is dependent on the realization of non-current and current assets of the subsidiary. Part of this amount approximately comprising LTL 12,422 thousand is highly dependent upon the outcome of the joint venture establishment in Kazakhstan in the future (Note 32), as the Company is planning to obtain shares of new joint venture in return to this outstanding amount. We are not able to obtain sufficient audit evidence in respect of the recoverability of this part of the outstanding receivable from the subsidiary.
Because of the significance of the matters described in section Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion on the Financial Performance and Cash Flows in relation to the Company's financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2009, we are not in a position to, and we do not, express an opinion on the statements of comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended.
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been required had we been able to perform the procedures described in section Basis for Qualified Opinion on the Financial Position above, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AB Snaigė as of 31 December 2009 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
Without further qualifying our opinion on the financial position, we draw your attention that as discussed in Note 2.2, the Company was operating with losses in 2008 and 2009, its current liabilities significantly exceed current assets as of 31 December 2009 and it did not redeem part of the issued convertible bonds in the amount of LTL 5,247 thousand due on 8 April 2010. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 2.2., indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as going concern highly depends on the realisation of the management future plans and support from the shareholders as well as on external financing. The same management forecasts have been used also to assess the recoverability of the non-current assets of the Company (Note 13). The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments (including adjustments to the carrying value of the assets if the above mentioned assumptions/forecasts do not come true) that may be needed as a result of the outcome of this uncertainty.
Furthermore, we have read the consolidated Management Report for the year ended 31 December 2009 and have not noted any material inconsistencies between the financial information included in it and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.

The subsidiary OOO Techprominvest (Kaliningrad, Russia) was acquired by AB Snaigė in 2002. On 12 August 2009 due to global economic crisis and particularly unfavourable effect of it on the Company's activities, the management of the Company made a decision to terminate the activities of the Company's owned refrigerator factory OOO Techprominvest. The investment into subsidiary was fully impaired (Note 10).
The maior part of share capital of OOO Techprominvest, controlled by the Company, is pledged to a bank as collateral for loans. Due to this pledge the Company is obligated to not dispose of a part of shares of the subsidiary OOO Techprominvest to third parties without a prior written permission of the bank and to not vote in the shareholders' meetings on disposal of non-current assets, rent and pledging to third parties. As of the date of release of these financial statements the Company did not request bank's permission for non-current assets disposal or rent.
TOB Snaige Ukraina (Kiev, Ukraine) was established in 2002. Since the acquisition in 2002, the Company holds 99% of this subsidiary's share capital. The subsidiary provides sales and marketing services to the Company in the Ukrainian market.
On 13 May 2004, OOO Moroz Trade (Moscow, Russia) was established. The Company acquired 100% of shares of OOO Moroz Trade in October 2004. The subsidiary provides sales and marketing services in the Russian market. In 2009 OOO Moroz Trade did not operate.
OOO Liga Servis (Moscow, Russia) was established in 2006. The subsidiary provides sales and marketing services in the Russian market.
UAB Almecha (Alytus, Lithuania) was established in 2006. The main activities of the company are production of refrigerating components and equipment.
In 2009 the average number of employees of the Company was 732 (1,404 in 2008).
The Company's management approved these financial statements on 12 April 2010. The shareholders of the Company have a statutory right to either approve these financial statements or not to approve them and request that the management prepares a new set of financial statements.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the Company's financial statements for 2009 are as follows:
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).
These are the separate financial statements of the Company. The consolidated financial statements of AB Snaige and its subsidiaries were approved on 12 April 2010 and were prepared as a separate set of financial statements.
These financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis.
The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations during the year:
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
IFRS 8 replaced IAS 14 Segment Reporting. The Company concluded that the operating segments determined in accordance with IFRS 8 are the same as the business segments previously identified under IAS 14. IFRS 8 disclosures are shown in Note 3, including the related comparative information.
This amendment introduces a number of changes, including introduction of a new terminology, revised presentation of equily transactions and introduction of a new statement of comprehensive income as well as amended requirements related to the presentation of the financial statements when they are restated retrospectively. The Company has elected to present its comprehensive income in one statement.
The other standards and interpretations and their amendments adopted in 2009 did not impact the financial statements of the Company, because the Company did not have the respective financial statement items and transactions addressed by these changes.
The Company has not applied the following IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2010). The amendment clarifies the scope and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions. The amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company, as the Company does not have share-based payments.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
Revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognised, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. IAS 27R requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of control) is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore, such transactions will no longer give rise to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss. Furthermore, the amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. Other consequential amendments were made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, IAS 12 Income Taxes, IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, IAS 28 Investment in Associates and IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. In accordance with the transitional requirements of these amendments, the Company will adopt them as a prospective change. Accordingly, assets and liabilities arising from business combinations prior to the date of application of the revised standards will not be restated.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013, once adopted by the EU). IFRS 9 will eventually replace IAS 39. The IASB has issued the first part of the standard, establishing a new classification and measurement framework for financial assets. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.
Amendments to IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2011, once adopted by the EU).
The amendments simplify the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the definition. They also provide a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities. The implementation of these amendments will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company, however it may impact the related parties disclosures.
Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Classification of Rights Issues (effective for financial vears beginning on or after 1 February 2010).
The amendment changes the definition of a financial liability to exclude certain rights, options and warrants. The amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company, as the Company does not have such instruments.
Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009).
The amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a financial instrument as hedged item. The amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the Company, as the Company has not entered into any such hedges.
In May 2008 and April 2009 IASB issued omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The adoption of the following amendments may result in changes to accounting policies or disclosures but will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company:
Other amendments resulting from Improvements to IFRSs to the following standards will not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Company:
IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 29 March 2009). This interpretation applies to service concession operators and explains how to account for the obligations undertaken and rights received in service concession arrangements. No member of the Company is an operator and, therefore, this interpretation has no impact on the Company.
Amendment to IFRIC 14 IAS 19-The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2011, once adopted by the EU). The amendment modifies the accounting for prepayments of future contributions when there is a minimum funding requirement. IFRIC 14 will not have any impact on the financial statements because the Company does not have defined benefit assets.
IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for financial years beginning on or after 31 October 2009). The interpretation provides guidance on the appropriate accounting treatment when an entity distributes assets other than cash as dividends to its shareholders. IFRIC 17 will not have an impact on the financial statements because the Company does not distribute non-cash assets to owners.
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective for financial years beginning on or after 31 October 2009). The Interpretation provides quidance on accounting for agreements in which an entity receives from a customer an item of property, plant and equipment that the entity must then use either to connect the customer to a network or to provide the customer with ongoing access to a supply of goods or services (such as a supply of electricity, gas or water). IFRIC 18 will not have an impact on the financial statements because the Company does not have such agreements.
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 April 2010, once adopted by the EU).
The interpretation provides quidance on accounting for extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of this standard.
The Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by LTL 36,645 thousand as of 31 December 2009, liquidity ratio was 0.47, quick ratio - 0.27; it did not redeem part of the issued convertible bonds in the amount of LTL 5.247 thousand; in 2009 the Company incurred LTL 82,246 thousand loss. Despite this, these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 are prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern at least 12 months from the statement of financial position date. The going concern is based on the following assumptions and management plans:
The management have concluded that the above mentioned assumptions involve high degree of uncertainty that causes significant doubts upon the Company's ability to continue as going concern, and that therefore the Company may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of the business. Nevertheless, considering the significant uncertainties in management plans, the management expects that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis for accounting in preparing these financial statements.
The Company's financial statements are presented in local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, Litas (LTL), which is the Company's functional currency. Lithuanian litas is pegged to euro at the rate of 3.4528 litas for 1 euro, and the exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the Bank of Lithuania.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost in the non-consolidated statement of financial position of the Company.
Accordingly, the investment is initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given subsequently adjusted for any impairment losses. The carrying value of the investment is tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount of the investment. If such indications exist, the Company makes an estimate of the investment's recoverable amount. Where the carrving amount of an investment exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the investment is written down to its recoverable amount (higher of the two: fair value less costs to sell and value in use). Impairment loss is recognised in the income statement as financial expense for the period.
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (3 vears).
The useful lives, residual values and amortisation method are reviewed annually.
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual projects is recognised as an intangible asset when the Company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development.
Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised over the period of expected future benefit by applying amortisation periods from 4 to 8 years. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.
Amounts paid for licences are capitalised and then amortised over their validity period.
The costs of acquisition of new software are capitalised and treated as an intangible asset if these costs are not an integral part of the related hardware. Software is amortised over a period not exceeding 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Company expects from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lifetime.
Property, plant and equipment are assets that are controlled by the Company, which is expected to generate economic benefits in the future periods with the useful life exceeding one year, and which acquisition (manufacturing) costs could be reliably measured. Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such property, plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if the asset recognition criteria are met. Replaced parts are written off.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement, whenever estimated.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings and structures | $15 - 63$ years. |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 5 - 15 years, |
| Vehicles | 4 - 6 vears. |
| Other non-current assets | $3 - 8$ vears. |
The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.
According to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" the Company's financial assets are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans granted and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Company commits to purchase the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
As of 31 December 2009 and 2008 the Company had no financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-tomaturity investments, and available for sale financial assets.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Receivables are initially recorded at the fair value of the consideration given. Current receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
Allowance for doubtful receivables is evaluated when the indications leading to the impairment of accounts receivables are noticed and the carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts and accounts receivable are derecognised (written-off) when they are assessed as uncollectible.
Inventories, comprising raw materials, spare parts and finished goods, are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after impairment evaluation for obsolete and slow moving items. Net realisable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs based on a normal operating capacity. Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.
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 three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits at current accounts, and other short-term highly liquid investments.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised, otherwise - expensed as incurred. No borrowing cost were capitalised in 2008 and 2009.
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value of proceeds received, net of expenses incurred. They are subsequently carried at amortised cost, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value being recognised in the net profit or loss over the period of the borrowings.
The borrowings are classified as non-current if the completion of a refinancing agreement before the statement of financial position date provides evidence that the substance of the liability at the statement of financial position date was non-current.
Convertible bonds are separated into liability and equity components based on the terms of the contract.
On issuance of the convertible bonds, the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non convertible bond. This amount is classified as a financial liability measured at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption.
The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in subsequent years. Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible bonds based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and equity components when the instruments are initially recognised.
The Company engages in forward foreign currency contracts. Forward contracts are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition and measurement, outstanding forwards are carried in the statement of financial position at the fair value. Fair value is determined using the discounted cash flow method applying effective interest rate. The estimated fair values of these contracts are reported on a gross basis as financial assets for contracts having a positive fair value; and financial liabilities for contracts with a negative fair value. Contracts executed with the same counterparty under legally enforceable master netting agreements are presented on a net basis.
Gain or loss from changes in the fair value of outstanding forward contracts is recognised in the income statement as they arise.
A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
Where the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
Factoring transaction is a funding transaction wherein the group transfers to factor claim rights for determined fee. The companies alienate rights to receivables due at a future date according to invoices. Factoring transactions of the Company comprise factoring transactions with regress (recourse) right (the factor is entitled to returning the overdue claim back to the Company). Factored accounts receivable (with regress right) and related financing are recorded in accounts receivable caption and borrowings and financial lease obligations caption.
The Company recognises financial leases as assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at amounts equal at the inception of the lease to the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The rate of discount used when calculating the present value of minimum payments of financial lease is the nominal interest rate of financial lease payment, when it is possible to determine it, in other cases. Company's composite interest rate on borrowings is applied. Directly attributable initial costs are included into the asset value. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Direct expenses incurred by the lessee during the lease period are included in the value of the leased asset.
The depreciation is accounted for financial lease assets and it also gives rise to financial expenses in the income statement for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable assets that are owned. The leased assets cannot be depreciated over the period longer than the lease term, unless the Company according to the lease contract, gets transferred their ownership after the lease term is over.
If the result of sales and lease back transactions is financial lease, any profit from sales exceeding the book value is not recognised as income immediately. It is deferred and amortised over the lease term.
Leases where the lessor retains all the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The gains from discounts provided by the lessor are recognised as a decrease in lease expenses over the period of the lease using the straight-line method.
If the result of sales and lease back transactions is operating lease and it is obvious that the transaction has been carried out at fair value, any profit or loss is recognised immediately. If the sales price is lower than the fair value, loss is recognised immediately, except for the cases when the loss is compensated by lower than market prices for lease payments in the future. The loss is then deferred and it is amortised in proportion to the lease payments over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated. If the sales price exceeds the fair value, a deferral is made for the amount by which the fair value is exceeded and it is amortised over a period, during which the assets are expected to be operated.
Grants and subsidies (hereinafter grants) received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the purchase, construction or other acquisition of non-current assets are considered as asset-related grants. Assets received free of charge are also allocated to this group of grants. The amount of the grants related to assets is recognised in the financial statements as used in parts according to the depreciation of the assets associated with this grant. In the income statement, a relevant expense account is reduced by the amount of grant amortisation.
Grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all the grants, which are not grants related to assets, are considered as grants related to income. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant.
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted in order to present the most reasonable current estimate. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of provision is equal to the present value of the expenses, which are expected to be incurred to settle the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest costs.
According to the collective agreement, each employee leaving the Company at the retirement age is entitled to a one-time payment. Employment benefits are recognised in the statement of financial position and reflect the present value of future payments at the date of the statement of financial position. The above mentioned employment benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. 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 the income statement as incurred.
The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of curtailment and/or settlement are recognised in the income statement as incurred.
Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the Lithuanian tax legislation.
The income tax rate in Lithuania was 20 % in 2009 (15 % in 2008). After the amendments of Income Tax Law of the Republic of Lithuania had come into force, 15 % income tax rate has been established for indefinite period starting 1 January 2010.
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 incurred except when the Company 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 vears and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax 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 reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets have been recognised in the balance sheet to the extent the Company's management believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Sales are recognised net of VAT and discounts.
Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when delivery has taken place and transfer of risks and rewards has been completed.
Revenue from services is recognized on accrual basis when services are rendered.
Financial assets as well as goodwill are reviewed for impairment at each balance sheet date.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, whenever it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of loans or receivables, impairment is recognised in the income statement. The reversal of impairment losses previously recognised is recorded when the decrease in impairment loss can be justified by an event occurring after the write-down. Such reversal is recorded in the income statement. However, the increased carrying amount is only recognised to the extent it does not exceed the amortised cost that would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is accounted for in the same caption of the income statement as the impairment loss.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and disclosure of contingencies. The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements relate to going concern assumption (Note 2.2), depreciation (Notes 2.6, and 13), amortisation (Notes 2.4, and 12), evaluation of provisions, non-current employee benefits and impairment of accounts receivable, inventories, investment and impairment of property, plant and equipment (Notes 1, 2.16, 2.20, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22), evaluation of deferred income tax valuation allowance and deferred tax recognition (Note 11). Future events may occur which may cause the assumptions used in arriving at the estimates to change. The effect of any changes in estimates will be recorded in the financial statements, when determinable.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow or economic benefits are probable.
Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except the cases when a certain International Financial Reporting Standard specifically requires such set-off.
The Company's sole business segment is the production of refrigerators and specialised equipment, therefore this note does not include any disclosures on operating segments as they are the same as information provided by the Company in these financial statements.

The depreciation charge of the Company's property, plant and equipment for 2009 amounts to LTL 6,652 thousand (LTL 14,452 thousand in 2008). In 2009 the amount of LTL 461 thousand (LTL 450 thousand in 2008) was accounted for as administration expenses in the income statement of the Company. The remaining amount of depreciation was included in the production cost.
The Company has revised the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and starting from 1 January 2009 prolonged the depreciation rates of equipment (machinery and equipment) from 4-10 to 4.5-12 years on average with the purpose to reflect the anticipated useful lives of the asset more correctly. If the Company applied on average 4-10 years depreciation rates (rates before change in estimate) the depreciation expenses for 2009 would increase by LTL 5,764 thousand and the balance of property, plant and equipment would decrease by LTL 5,764 thousand.
The part of the Company's property, plant and equipment with the acquisition cost of LTL 44,146 thousand was fully depreciated as of 31 December 2009 (LTL 38,346 thousand as of 31 December 2008) but was still in active use.
As of 31 December 2009 the part of the Company's property, plant and equipment, with the net book value of LTL 6.378 thousand (LTL 6.646 thousand as of 31 December 2008) was pledged to banks as a collateral for the loans (Note 23).
The liabilities to the owners of ordinary bonds are secured by the pledge of machinery and equipment with the net book value of LTL 8,512 thousand as of 31 December 2009 (Note 23).
On 31 December 2009 the Company has performed an assessment of impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment evaluating their value in use.
The whole Company was defined as a cash generating unit (CGU). The recoverable value of CGU is established based on the calculation of value-in-use following post-tax cash flow forecasts according to financial budgets of five years, which have been approved by the top management. The cash flow forecast applies 16% post-tax discount rate (17% pre-tax). The extrapolation of cash flows after the five-year period applies 1% growth rate. The growth rate does not exceed the expected average increase rate of the industry. The cash flow forecast generally comprises fourteen years (expected period of use of non-current assets). Having performed the analysis, the management did not identify any CGU impairment.
Calculation of CGU value in use is particularly dependant upon the following assumptions:
sales growth rate (cash flow forecast reflects a growing demand of production since 2011 due to the following factors: the planned recovery of the overall economic environment; due to lower sales volume until 2011, production at wholesale and retail warehouses, as evaluated by the management, should already be sold out, therefore new orders are expected; the suspended Eastern market credit insurance significantly affected the sales of the Company (as many orders are received from CIS countries, which may not be processed as the possibility to insure the creditworthiness of clients does not exist), and as far as known by the management of the Company the possibility to re-instate the credit insurance for the Eastern markets is being discussed, which would have a significant effect on the growth of sales of the Company. Average annual growth rate for the forecasted five-year period is 9.27 %.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the most important and most change-like assumption is the expected sales growth. Based on the evaluation of the management, in case of half the rate of the expected sales growth in the period of five years of the financial budget, the impairment of non-current assets would be equal to approximately 16% of their net book value as of 31 December 2009. At the moment of preparing these financial statements the management of the Company did not expect any significant changes of the assumptions.

| Other financial liabilities | 1.737.256 | 1.737.256 | 10,851,922 | 10,851,922 |
The fair value of borrowings was calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the prevailing interest rates. As of 31 December 2009 and 2008 the market value of the current borrowings bearing fixed interest rates approximates to the fair value as fixed interest rates (14-18%) are close to market interest rates.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
The derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value, thus their fair value equals the carrying amount. The Company had no investments into unlisted entities as of 31 December 2009 and 2008.
The following table shows net gain (loss) of financial instruments included in the income statement:
| 2009 | 2008 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial assets available for sale | (645,691) | (544, 152) |
| Loans and receivables | (3,636,345) | (229,156) |
Net gain and loss of financial instruments include revaluation effect of foreign currency derivative financial instruments and impairment losses of receivables.
The maximum exposure of the credit as of 31 December 2009 and 2008 comprise the carrying values of receivables. As stated in Note 31, on 31 December 2009 the carrying amount of receivables from OOO Techprominvest was LTL 38,260 thousand (LTL 44,891 thousand in 2008).

The credit policy implemented by the Company and credit risk is constantly controlled. Credit risk assessment is applied to all clients willing to get a payment deferral.
In accordance with the policy of receivables recognition as doubtful, the payments variation from agreement terms are monitored and prevention actions are taken in order to prevent overdue receivables in accordance with the standard of the Company "Trade Credits Risk Management Procedure".
According to the policy of the Company, receivables are considered to be doubtful if they meet the following criteria:

The Company seeks to maintain sufficient financing to meet the financial liabilities on time. In 2009 the management of the Company believes that during 2010 the restructuring of maturity terms of some financial obligations and the additional monetary funds to finance the operations of the Company will be implemented successfully (Notes 2.2 and 32).
Major currency risks of the Company till 31 December 2008 occurred due to the fact that the Company's significant part of the revenue was in US dollars and borrowings were denominated in other foreign currencies. In 2009 the Company decreased significantly the generated income denominated in USD, therefore the foreign exchange risk decreased significantly as the major part of the income is denominated in EUR which is pegged to LTL.
To reduce the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuation, till 31 December 2008 the Company used derivative financial instruments which help to manage foreign currency exchange risk. In 2008 the Company arranged the foreign currency forwards and foreign currency exchange options contracts with a bank for USD 13,740 thousand translation at a fixed rate, amount of USD 8,823 thousand were executed in 2008 and the remaining part in 2009. Derivative financial instruments are designated to hedge cash inflows from sales in USD. There were no new derivative foreign currency transactions made in 2009. The Company does not apply hedging accounting for derivative financial instruments.
