Through these amendments the IASB implemented the additional options for reclassification of certain financial instruments categorised as held-fortrading or available-for-sale under specified circumstances. Related disclosures were added to IFRS 7. The / did not have financial instruments covered by these amendments. IFRIC 11 IFRS 2 and Treasury Share Transactions.

The amendment to IFRS 1 allows an entity to determine the cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities or associates in its opening IFRS financial statements in accordance with IAS 27 or using a deemed cost. The amendment to IAS 27 requires all dividends from a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity or associate to be recognised in the income statement in the separate financial statements. The new requirements affect only the parent s separate financial statements and do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, a new version of IFRS 1 was issued in November replacing the previous version (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009 once adopted by the EU). It retains the content of the previous version but the structure of the standard has been changed. 11

12 Amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The amendment clarifies the definition of a vesting condition and prescribes the treatment for an award that is effectively cancelled. The amendment will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the /, as the does not have share-based payments. 12

13 2. Accounting Principles (continued) 2.3. Standards approved but not yet effective (continued) 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 once adopted by the EU). 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. Revised IAS 27 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 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 8 Operating Segments (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The standard sets out requirements for disclosure of information about an entity s operating segments and also about the entity s products and services, the geographical areas in which it operates, and its major customers. IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 Segment Reporting. The expects that the operating segments determined in accordance with IFRS 8 will not materially differ from the business segments previously identified under IAS 14. Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). This amendment introduces a number of changes, including introduction of a new terminology, revised presentation of equity 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 is still evaluating whether it will present all items of recognised income and expense in one single statement or in two linked statements. Amendment to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revised standard eliminates the option of expensing all borrowing costs and requires borrowing costs to be capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. In accordance with the transitional requirements of the Standard, the will adopt this as a prospective change. Accordingly, borrowing costs will be capitalised on qualifying assets with a commencement date after 1 January No changes will be made for borrowing costs incurred to this date that have been expensed. Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The revisions provide a limited scope exception for puttable instruments to be classified as equity if they fulfil a number of specified features. The amendments to the standards will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the /, as the has not issued 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 /, as the has not entered into any such hedges. IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July ). This interpretation requires customer loyalty award credits to be accounted for as a separate component of the sales transaction in which they are granted and therefore part of the fair value of the consideration received is allocated to the award credit and deferred over the period that the award credit is fulfilled. The / does not maintain customer loyalty programmes, therefore, this interpretation will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the. 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 2009). This interpretation specifies the conditions for recognising a net asset for a defined benefit pension plan. The / does not have defined benefit plans, therefore, the interpretation will have no impact on the financial position or performance of the. IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009 once adopted by the EU). The interpretation clarifies when and how revenue and related expenses from the sale of a real estate unit should be recognised if an agreement between a developer and a buyer is reached before the construction of the real estate is completed. Furthermore, the interpretation provides guidance on how to determine whether an agreement is within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18. The 13

14 / does not conduct such activity, therefore, this interpretation will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 October once adopted by the EU). The interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. IFRIC 16 will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements because the does not have hedges of net investments. 2 Accounting Principles (continued) 2.3. Standards approved but not yet effective (continued) IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009 once adopted by the EU). The interpretation provides guidance on the appropriate accounting treatment when an entity distributes assets other than cash as dividends to its shareholders. The / has not yet evaluated the potential impact of IFRIC 17 on the financial statements. IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers (effective for transfers of assets received on or after 1 July 2009 once adopted by the EU). The Interpretation provides guidance 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). The / has not yet evaluated the potential impact of IFRIC 18 on the financial statements. Improvements to IFRSs In May IASB issued its first omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard; most of the changes are effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January The anticipates that these amendments to standards will have no material effect on the financial statements. IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Removal of the reference to total interest income as a component of finance costs. IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Assets and liabilities classified as held for trading in accordance with IAS 39 are not automatically classified as current in the balance sheet. IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Clarification that only implementation guidance that is an integral part of an IFRS is mandatory when selecting accounting policies. IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period. Clarification that dividends declared after the end of the reporting period are not obligations. IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Items of property, plant and equipment held for rental that are routinely sold in the ordinary course of business after rental, are transferred to inventory when rental ceases and they are held for sale. Also, replaced the term net selling price with fair value less costs to sell. IAS 18 Revenue. Replacement of the term direct costs with transaction costs as defined in IAS 39. IAS 19 Employee Benefits. Revised the definition of past service costs, return on plan assets and short term and other long-term employee benefits. Amendments to plans that result in a reduction in benefits related to future services are accounted for as curtailment. IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosures of Government Assistance. Loans granted in the future with no or low interest rates will not be exempt from the requirement to impute interest. The difference between the amount received and the discounted amount is accounted for as government grant. Also, revised various terms used to be consistent with other IFRS. IAS 23 Borrowing Costs. The definition of borrowing costs is revised to consolidate the two types of items that are considered components of borrowing costs into one the interest expense calculated using the effective interest rate method calculated in accordance with IAS 39. IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. When a parent entity accounts for a subsidiary at fair value in accordance with IAS 39 in its separate financial statements, this treatment continues when the subsidiary is subsequently classified as held for sale. IAS 28 Investment in Associates. If an associate is accounted for at fair value in accordance with IAS 39, only the requirement of IAS 28 to disclose the nature and extent of any significant restrictions on the ability of the associate to transfer funds to the entity in the form of cash or repayment of loans applies. In addition, an investment in an associate is a single asset for the purpose of conducting the impairment test. Therefore, any impairment is not separately allocated to the goodwill included in the investment balance. IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Revised the reference to the exception to measure assets and liabilities at historical cost, such that it notes property, plant and equipment as being an example, rather than implying that it is a definitive list. Also, revised various terms used to be consistent with other IFRS. IAS 31 Interest in Joint ventures: If a joint venture is accounted for at fair value, in accordance with IAS 39, only the requirements of IAS 31 to disclose the commitments of the venturer and the joint venture, as well as summary financial information about the assets, liabilities, income and expense will apply. 14

15 IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. Earnings per share are disclosed in interim financial reports if an entity is within the scope of IAS 33. IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. When discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair value less cost to sell additional disclosure is required about the discount rate, consistent with disclosures required when the discounted cash flows are used to estimate value in use. IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Expenditure on advertising and promotional activities is recognised as an expense when the entity either has the right to access the goods or has received the service. The reference to there being rarely, if ever, convincing evidence to support an amortisation method of intangible assets other than a straight-line method has been removed. 15

16 2 Accounting Principles (continued) 2.3. Standards adopted but not yet effective (continued) IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Changes in circumstances relating to derivatives are not reclassifications and therefore may be either removed from, or included in, the fair value through profit or loss classification after initial recognition. Removed the reference in IAS 39 to a segment when determining whether an instrument qualifies as a hedge. Require the use of the revised effective interest rate when remeasuring a debt instrument on the cessation of fair value hedge accounting. IAS 40 Investment Property. Revision of the scope such that property under construction or development for future use as an investment property is classified as investment property. If fair value cannot be reliably determined, the investment under construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is complete. Also, revised of the conditions for a voluntary change in accounting policy to be consistent with IAS 8 and clarified that the carrying amount of investment property held under lease is the valuation obtained increased by any recognised liability. IAS 41 Agriculture. Removed the reference to the use of a pre-tax discount rate to determine fair value. Removed the prohibition to take into account cash flows resulting from any additional transformations when estimating fair value. Also, replaced the term point-of-sale costs with costs to sell. IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements (effective once adopted by the EU).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 / is a service concession operator and, therefore, this interpretation has no impact on the. 2.4 Consolidation principles The consolidated financial statements of the include AB Lietuvos Energija and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year, using consistent accounting policies. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which effective control is transferred to the and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions among the companies are eliminated. Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the s equity therein. Minority interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination (see below) and the minority s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses attributable to the minority in excess of the minority s interest in the subsidiary s equity are allocated against the interests of the except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses. 2.5 Business combinations Acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the consideration given, which includes assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquiree s identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations, assumed in a business combination are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or disposal groups), which are classified as held-for-sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations that are recognised and measured at fair vale less cost of sale. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the 's cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the are assigned to those units or groups of units. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill 16

17 disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. 17

18 2. Accounting Principles (continued) 2.5. Business Combinations (continued) The excess of the acquired interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment remaining after the reassessment of the identification and measurement of the acquiree s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination is recognised in the income statement immediately. The interest of minority shareholders in the acquiree is initially measured at the minority s proportional share of the net fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. 2.6 Investments in subsidiaries (the ) Subsidiary is an entity directly or indirectly controlled by a parent company. In the parent company s balance sheet investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment, where the investment s carrying amount in the parent s balance sheet exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. 2.7 Investments in associates and joint ventures An associate is an entity over which the / has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the ability to take part in making financial and operating policy decisions but is not control or joint control over those policies. The has an interest in a joint venture, which is a jointly controlled entity, whereby the ventures have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic activities of the entity. The investments in associates and joint ventures are carried in the parent company s balance sheet at cost less impairment losses, where the investment s carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. In consolidated financial statements, investments in associated companies and joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method, except when the investment is classified as held-for-sale, when it is recognised according to IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, investments in associates or joint ventures are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the s share of the net assets of the investee, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate or joint venture in excess of the s interest in that associate/joint venture are not recognised, unless the has assured legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate/joint venture. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate/joint venture recognised at the date of acquisition is recognised as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Where the company conducts transactions with an associate/joint venture of the, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the s interest in the relevant entity. Financial guarantees provided for the liabilities of the associates during the initial recognition are accounted at estimated fair value, being the difference between the fair value of the liabilities with the guarantee and the fair value of such liabilities without the guarantee, as the investment into associates and financial liability in the balance sheet. Subsequent to initial recognition this financial liability is amortised and recognised as income depending on the related amortisation / repayment of the associate s financial liability to the bank. If there is a possibility that the associate may fail to fulfil its obligations to the bank, a financial liability of the is accounted for at the higher of the amortised value and the value estimated according to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 2.8 Non-current tangible and intangible assets Non-current tangible assets An asset is classified as a non-current tangible asset it its useful life exceeds one year. As described in Note 2.2, since 31 December the has changed the accounting principle applied to its non-current tangible assets (except for Hydro Power Plant and Pumped Storage Power Plant) from acquisition cost to revalued cost method. Before 31 December, non-current tangible assets were carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 18

19 19

20 2 Accounting Principles (continued) 2.8 Non-current tangible and intangible assets (continued) Since 31 December, non-current tangible assets except for the Hydro Power Plant and the Pumped Storage Power Plant which are still accounted for at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, are shown at revalued amounts, based on periodic (at least every 5 years) valuations by external independent appraisers, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses at the date of revaluation are eliminated against gross carrying amount of the asset and net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the assets. Increases in the carrying amount arising on the first revaluation of non-current tangible assets are credited directly to equity under the heading of revaluation reserve (Note 2.2) and decreases are recognised in the profit and loss account. Decreases arising on subsequent revaluations that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the profit and loss account. Revaluation increases in property plant and equipment value that offset previous decreases taken to profit or loss are taken to income statement. All other increases in the carrying amount arising on subsequent revaluations of property, plant and equipment are credited to revaluation reserve. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on the asset s original cost is transferred from revaluation reserve to retained earnings taking into account the effect of deferred tax Construction in progress represents non-current intangible assets under construction. The cost of such assets includes design, construction works, plant and equipment being installed, and other directly attributable costs. Non-current intangible assets At initial recognition, intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost. Cost of intangible assets acquired through business combinations is its fair value at acquisition date. Intangible assets are recognised if there is evidence that the / will receive economic benefits related to these assets, and its value can be reliably estimated. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any (the / does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives). Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation/amortisation of non-current assets, except construction in progress, is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation/amortisation method are reviewed at each year-end to ensure that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from these assets. The effect of changes in estimates, if any, is accounted for on a prospective basis. Estimated useful lives of non-current assets are as follows: s of non-current tangible and intangible assets Ranges of useful lives (years) Buildings Structures, machinery and equipment: - electricity and communication facility electricity equipment other equipment 5-20 Power plants assets: - hydrotechnical waterway structures and equipment 75 - pressure pipelines 50 - hydrotechnical turbines other equipment 8-15 Vehicles 4-10 Other tangible assets: - computer hardware and communication equipment inventory, tools 4-10 Intangible assets 3-4 Useful lives of property, plant and equipment, which are highly important for the main activity of the /, are as follows: Average useful lives (years) Constructions of transformer substations , 110, 35 kv electricity transmission lines , 110, 35, 6-10 kv electricity distribution equipment , 110, 35, 6-10 kv power transformers 35 20

21 Relay security and automation equipment Technological and dispatch control equipment 8 Assets acquired under finance lease are depreciated over their expected useful life on the same basis as owned assets. 2 Accounting Principles (continued) 2.8 Non-current tangible and intangible assets (continued) Profit or loss resulting from sale of non-current assets is calculated as the difference between the amounts received (receivable) and the carrying value of the disposed asset and is recognised in the income statement for the accounting year. Repair expenses are included in the asset s carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the and the and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance expenses are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred. 2.9 Impairment of non-current tangible and intangible assets At each balance sheet date, the and the reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the and the estimates the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at each balance sheet date, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase (without exceeding the sum of previous value impairment) as described in Note Investment Property Investment properties of the /, which consist of investments in buildings held to earn rental revenue or expecting change in their value, are initially recognised at acquisition cost, including transaction costs. Subsequently all investment properties is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Transfers to and from investment properties are made only when there is an evidence of change in an asset s use Financial Assets According to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets. The / determines the classification of its financial assets based on its nature and purpose at initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised on a transaction date basis where the purchase or sale process is under a contract, which terms require delivery of the financial assets within the timeframe established by the market 21
