INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS
TRESTAS and its subsidiaries (hereinafter the ‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and their consolidated financial
performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the 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 Consolidated Financial Statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group
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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Financial Statements’ section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit
included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures
performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
1. Fine imposed by the Competition Council
As disclosed in Note 27 of the financial statements, on 3 June 2020 the Supreme Administrative Court
of Lithuania announced a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the parent of the Group against the
decision of the Competition Council and as a consequence, the Group has recognized in the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8.5 million EUR and
related interest charge amounting to EUR 1.4 million. The Group is discussing with the State Tax
Inspectorate the interest and execution costs. They are seeking for payment period extension
This matter was significant for our audit because the payment of the fine and interest charge significantly
affect the Cash Flow of the Group.

How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures, among others, included the following:
- Reading the ruling issued by the Supreme Administrative Court.
- The Group is discussing with the State Tax Inspectorate the interest and execution costs.
They are seeking for payment period extension.
- Analysis of responses in the external legal advisor‘s letter to our inquiries.
- Consideration of the outcome of the respective prior year management’s estimate, including
assessment of potential management bias.
Furthermore, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Note 27 of the financial statements
on this matter.
2. Revenue recognition for constructions contracts in progress
The Group’s main revenue stream comes from large long-term construction contracts. As disclosed in
Notes 2, 3.13 and 18, the Group 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
dependent 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.
Our audit procedures, among others, included the following:
- Updating our understanding of the Group’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 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 Group’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
comparing the historical financial performance of selected contracts completed in 2021 with the
total cost estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as
of 31 December 2020.
- 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
statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, considering both quantitative and qualitative
criteria, such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique
in their nature, for additional testing as outlined below.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
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 reflective of the actual progress of the work and are eligible items;
- considering the reasonableness of the margins recognised by the Group for the projects in
progress taking into account our understanding of the contract scope and the historical
performance of the Group;
- 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 progress based on the assessment of their stage of completion.
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the disclosures about the matter in Notes 2, 3.13 ir 18 of the
financial statements.
3. Fair value assessment of the investment property
The Group accounts for investment properties in the financial statements at fair value (IAS 40). The
significant increase under Investment property caption as of 31 December 2020 is related to the change
in the fair value of the business centre project developed UAB Šeškinės projektai. Gain arising from
changes in fair value is recognised the statement of comprehensive income.
The fair value of the Group’s investment property is based on the valuations performed by independent
appraisers. The valuations are dependent on certain key assumptions which requires significant
judgements. Details of the valuation methodology and key inputs used in the valuations are disclosed
in Notes 2 and 16.
This matter was important to our audit due to significance of the amounts involved and high degree of
related management estimation.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
- We gained an understanding of how the management estimates the fair value of the investment
property (including methods and assumptions).
We considered the following:
- Considerations about the independent external appraiser’s competence, capabilities and
objectivity;
- Understanding the methods used by the external appraiser to estimate market values;
- Consideration of the accuracy and relevance of the input data provided by management to the
external appraiser where discounted cash flows method was used. We considered the key
assumptions used by the management in the discounted cash flows, including discount rates,
owner related expenses, and market rent price level, vacancy rates and other;
- Consideration of the level of market prices used where comparable market prices method was
used.
Finally, we considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures on the matter in Notes 2 and 16 of the
financial statements.
4. Impairment of trade accounts receivable and contract assets
As at 31 December 2021, the Group had non-current and current trade accounts receivable and contract
assets balance amounting to EUR 0.03 million and EUR 18.48 million respectively, reported in the
statement of financial position, as disclosed in Note 18 of the consolidated 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 21% of the total assets of the Group in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021
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
develop the estimate is appropriate and assessment whether the impairment accounting policy
applied 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
analysis of expected recoverability of these balances, and also considered independently the
indications 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
2021. 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 impairment.
Furthermore, we have assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements on this matter
(Notes 2 and 18).

2021.

The other information comprises the information included in the Group’s annual report, including
Corporate Governance Statement, Remuneration Report and Corporate Social Responsibility Report,
but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Management is responsible for the other information presentation.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as specified below.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the consolidated 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

Remuneration Report, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements. In our

opinion, based on the work performed in the course of the audit of the consolidated financial statements,
in all material respects:
The information given in the Group’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 consolidated financial statements; and
The Group’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 Consolidated Financial Reporting by Groups of Undertakings.
It is also our responsibility check whether the Consolidated Corporate Social Responsibility Report has
been provided. If we identify that the Consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European
Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group’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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s consolidated financial
reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 conducted 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 taken together, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 misstatement 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
effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates 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 conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’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 consolidated 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 Group to
cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 consolidated 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 expected 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 Group’s consolidated financial statements for the first
time. Our appointment to carry out the audit of the Group’s consolidated 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 engagement is one year.
We confirm that our opinion in the section ‘Opinion’ is consistent with the additional Audit report which
we have submitted to the Group and to the Audit Committee.
We confirm that in light of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Group 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.
Throughout our audit engagement period we have not provided any other services except for the audit
of the Company's separate and Group consolidated financial statements and also translation services
of the aforementioned financial statements.
Report on the Compliance of the Format of Consolidated Financial Statements with the
Requirements of the European Single Electronic Format
We have been engaged as part of our audit engagement letter by the Management of the Company to
conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the applicable
requirements of the single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2021, including the consolidated annual report, in a single electronic reporting
format (hereinafter the “single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements”).
Description of a subject matter and applicable criteria
The single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements has been applied by the

(EU) 2018/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic
reporting format (hereinafter the “ESEF Regulation”). The applicable requirements regarding the single
electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements are laid down in the ESEF

Electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, constitute
appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance
The Company’s management is responsible for the application of the single electronic reporting format
of the consolidated financial statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on

with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the singe electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements was prepared, in
all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an assurance engagement conducted in accordance with
ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Summary of the work performed
Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the single
electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material aspects,
in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material errors or
omissions. Our procedures included, in particular:

statements;
verification that the XHTML format was applied properly;
evaluating the completeness of marking up the consolidated financial statements using the
XBRL markup language according to the requirements of the implementation of electronic
format as described in the ESEF Regulation;
evaluating the appropriateness of the Company’s use of XBRL tags selected from the ESEF
taxonomy and the creation of extension tags where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy
has been identified; and
evaluating the appropriateness of anchoring of the extension elements to the ESEF taxonomy
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion.

2 Basis of Preparation
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter “IFRSs”).
Basis of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
18
2 Basis of preparation (continued)
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in the national currency of the Republic of
Lithuania, euro (EUR), which is the Parent company’s functional currency as well as of
subsidiaries operating in Lithuania and Latvia. The functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries
are the respective foreign currencies of the country of residence. Items included in the financial
statements of these subsidiaries are measured using their functional currency. The principles of
functional currency translation into the currency of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed
in Note 3.1.
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 consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires
management to make judgements 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 underlying 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 recognized in the financial statements and have a
significant risk of causing material adjustments to the financial statements in the next financial
year is included in the following notes:
Note 4. Classification of the fine imposed by the Competition Council. As described in
Note 4, the management determined that the liability must be classified in the Group’s
financial statements as current.
Note 13: 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 14: Fair value of land and buildings which are measured using the revaluation model,
useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The Group verifies economic useful lives of
property, 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: when
preparing these financial statements, the management has assessed that no periodic
revaluation is needed for the property, plant and equipment carried at revalued amount as
there are no internal or external indications of material change in the fair values as at 31
December 2021 since the last revaluation performed and accounted for in the financial
statements in 2018.
Note 16: Fair value of investment property. The Group engaged external appraisers to
estimate the fair values of these assets.
Note 17: Measurement of net realizable value of inventories. A key factor in estimating the
net realizable value of inventories is the recoverability of ongoing construction projects.
Therefore, the Group engaged external appraisers to estimate 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
19
2 Basis of preparation (continued)
Note 18: Impairment of trade receivables and measurement of revenue from contracts with
customers as well as contract assets and contract liabilities based on the stage of completion
of the construction contracts. The accurate recognition of revenue on contracts in progress
is highly dependent on judgement exercised by the management in assessing the
completeness and accuracy of the overall costs of the project (estimates) as it is the key
assumption in the assessment of the stage of completion of the contracts in progress.
Estimating the recoverable amounts of receivables is a process, which requires significant
management judgement and estimates, 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 24: Warranty provision is calculated by the Group on a monthly basis based on
monthly revenue. Warranty provision is being calculated by taking into account revenue,
actual warranty expenses incurred in previous periods, its proportion against actual sales,
legal term of warranty and historical information.
Note 27: The management judgements are to predict the outcome of litigations. Provisions
are not recognised in the financial statements as based on the management judgement it is
more likely than not, that the Group will win the legal disputes mentioned in the Note 27,
or it is not possible to assess reliably the possible outcome of the contingency at the
moment.
Impact of COVID-19:
In 2021, the construction industry was still one of the industries most affected by the
pandemic. The Group of companies Panevėžio Statybos Trestas sought solutions and options
for the problems, operational challenges and risks that emerged during COVID-19 pandemic,
was able to adapt to the dramatic changes in the operating environment and behaviour of
market participants. The Group of companies tried to maintain a moderate pace of activities
rather than delaying decisions to calmer post-quarantine times. Management monitors and
evaluates the current situation responsibly (especially with regard to customer billing,
shortages of supplies, execution of orders), responds promptly and makes appropriate
decisions to safeguard the going concern.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year, using
consistent accounting policies.
Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
- The power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct
the relevant activities of the investee);
- The right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
- The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights result in control.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date from which control is transferred to the Group and
cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. All
intergroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions among the Group
companies have been eliminated. The equity and net income attributable to non-controlling
interests, are shown separately in the statement of financial position and the statement of
comprehensive income.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“

The losses of subsidiaries are attributable to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a
deficit balance on the non-controlling interest.
Acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interest by the Group are accounted as equity
transaction: the difference between the carrying value of the net assets acquired from/disposed to
the non-controlling interests in the Groups financial statements and the share purchase/sale prices
are accounted directly in equity.
Change of ownership share in the subsidiary when control is retained, is accounted for as equity
transaction. If the Group loses control of the subsidiary, the Group takes the following actions:
Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
Derecognises the carrying amount of non-controlling interest, if any;
Derecognises accumulated currency exchange differences accounted for in equity;
Accounts for consideration received at fair value;
Accounts for retained investment at fair value;
Accounts for arising surplus or deficit in the profit or loss;
Reclassifies the components previously recognized in other comprehensive income and
attributable to the parent company to the statement of comprehensive income or retained
earnings respectively.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and
the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the
acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Any contingent consideration to be
transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent
consideration that is classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value in accordance with
IFRS 9: in either in profit/loss or as a change in other comprehensive income. If contingent
consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is
accounted for within equity. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in
administrative expenses.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquirer’s equity interest previously held in
the acquiree is measured at fair value at the acquisition date through statement of comprehensive
income.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets
of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in statement of comprehensive income.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment is assessed annually. Accounted impairment is not restated. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,
assigned to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the
combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those
units.
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
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.

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 Group has a joint arrangement that is a joint operation.
As a joint operator the Group 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.
(A) Application of new and/or changed IFRS and interpretations issued by International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
During the reporting period, the Group 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 2021.
(a) Standards, their amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2021.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021(issued
on 31 March 2021 with effective date of 1 April 2021)
These amendments extend the scope of the 2020 amendments by increasing the eligibility period
for the application of practical expedient from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022.
On 28 May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued COVID-19-
Related Rent Concessions, which amended IFRS 16 Leases. The 2020 amendment permitted
lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a
direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and, instead, to account
for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. Among other conditions, the
2020 amendment permitted lessees to apply the practical expedient only to rent concessions for
which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June
2021. If a rent concession reduces lease payments both before and after 30 June 2021, IFRS 16
does not permit the practical expedient to be applied to that concession.
These amendments are effective in European Union for annual reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 April 2021. In the management’s opinion, these amendments do not have a material impact
on these financial statements as no significant concessions/discounts were received during the
reporting period and are not expected to be received in subsequent periods.
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2 IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16
(Amendments) (issued on 27 August 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2021)
The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an
interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR).
The amendments include the following practical expedients:
A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are
directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent
to a movement in a market rate of interest.
Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge
documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued.
Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable
requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (issued on
27 August 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2021 and must be applied retrospectively)
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 bring to a conclusion phase two which is focused on
issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced
with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). These amendments will have no impact on these 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 2021 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial
statements are presented below:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions,
Contingent 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 Framework 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.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41
Agriculture and the Illustrative 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 is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on
financial statements.
IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: the Deferral of Effective Dates of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for Insurers
(Amendments) (issued on 25 June 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023, but not before it
is adopted by the EU).
The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 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
and the Group’s financial statements.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2023,
but not before it is adopted by the EU).
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 March 2020 meeting the Board decided to
defer the effective date 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 IFRS
will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and Company as
insurance 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, but
not before it is adopted by the EU)
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 become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
2023 with earlier application permitted. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the
EU. 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, but not before it is adopted by the EU)
The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary
amounts in financial 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 accounting estimates that occur on or after
the start of that period. These 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 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (issued on
23 January 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023, 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 management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of
these amendments.

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 illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement
to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting
policy disclosures. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management
has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
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 retranslated to the functional currency at the
exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at cost are translated to the functional
currency at the exchange rate at the date that the asset or liability is recognised in statement of
financial position. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or
loss.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments
arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at exchange rates at the
reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the presentation
currency at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. The effect of translation is recognized
directly in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant
amount in the foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to 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 financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s
contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With
the exception of trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain a significant financing
component, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset 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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
25
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 Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its
financial assets in order 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.
A regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date
that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at:
At amortised cost (debt instruments).
At fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses
upon derecognition (debt instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31 December
2021 and 2020;
At fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and
losses upon derecognition (equity instruments). The Group did not have such items as at 31
December 2021 and 2020;
At fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2021
and 2020.
Financial asset at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following 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
(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 interest 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 Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current
receivables and loans granted.
Impairment of financial assets
Following IFRS 9, in common case scenario, the Group recognises an allowance for expected
credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are
based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract
and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the
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 recognition, 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
remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating
ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss
allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.
(a) Assessment of impairment of trade receivables and contract assets
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
26
Based on assessment of the Management, trade receivables and contract assets that do not contain
a significant financing component and accordingly their impairment is assessed by applying a
simplified approach, i.e. for material individual customers the management performs an
assessment of specifically expected credit losses, taking into account the customer’s credit history
as well as forward looking factors and risk factors specific to the debtor. For all other receivables
the Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience,
adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
(b) Estimation of the impairment of loans granted
The Group is granting loans under the agreements with defined repayment terms. 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 Group re-assesses 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 in comparison with the position
when the loan was issued, the Group accounts for ECL over the remaining life of the loan. Loans
subject to assessment of lifetime ECLs are considered to be credit-impaired financial assets.
The Group considers that the debtor has defaulted on the obligations associated with the financial
assets, if the contractual payments are overdue more than 90 days or when there are indications
that the debtor, or the group of debtors, are facing significant financial difficulties, default on the
payments of principal amount or interest, and there is a probability that bankruptcy or
reorganization procedures will be initiated, as well as when observable data indicates that the
decrease of expected future cash flows is likely, e.g. change in the overdue days or change in the
economic factors that correlate with the defaults on the obligations.
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.
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 Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, including bank
overdrafts and finance lease liabilities.
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 liabilities are derecognised 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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
27
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement
of financial 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 applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar
financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group’s statement of financial
position) when:
(i) the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; or
(ii) The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed
an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party
under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control
of the financial asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset or has
entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, nor transferred control of the
asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing
involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset
and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the
Group has retained.
The Group involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured
at the lower of the carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that
the Group could be required to repay (amount of the guarantee).
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged,
cancelled or expired. 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.
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 on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Land and buildings are carried at revalued amount which is their fair value as at the revaluation
date less subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment. Revaluations are carried out
regularly ensuring that the carrying amount of land and buildings do not significantly differ from
their fair values as at reporting date. The fair value of land and buildings is established by certified
independent real estate appraisers. The revaluation reserve of land and buildings is reduced by an
amount equal to the difference between the depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount
and the depreciation based on the original cost of the land and buildings each year and is
transferred directly to retained earnings 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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
28
reserve of property, 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
the Group’s self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs
of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Borrowing
costs related to qualifying assets are 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 component of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if it is
probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group
and its cost can be measured reliably. The residual value of the replaced component 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 840 years
Plant and equipment 510 years
Vehicles 510 years
Fixtures and fittings 36 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 transferred to retained earnings.
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 Group does not have any intangible assets with infinite useful life.
3.5 Investment Property
Investment property of the Group consists of buildings that are held to earn rentals or for capital
appreciation, rather than for use in the production, or supply of goods, or services or for
administration purposes, or sale in the ordinary course of business.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
29
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the
reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment 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 raw materials and direct labour, any other
costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use, as
well as 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 properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is
expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying
amount of the asset is recognised in the profit or loss in the period of derecognition.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a
transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, plant and equipment, the deemed
cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied
property becomes an investment property, the Group 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. Group as a lessee
At inception of a contract, the Group 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 Group (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 Group recognises lease liabilities
to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The Group had only few assets (cars) lease contracts that are insignificant at the beginning of
2020, however, a long-term lease agreement for 21 car was effective at the end of 2021.
Right of use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the
underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any
accumulated depreciation 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 incentives 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
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group 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 Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the
present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed
payments (including 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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
30
value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option
reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the
lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease
payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised 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 Group 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 Group 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 Group is a lessor
The Group’s buildings that are leased under operating lease agreements are accounted in the
statement of financial position as investment property. Lease income is recognised on a straight
line basis over the lease period.
3.7 Inventories
Capitalised costs related to the real estate development projects for sale in the usual activities of
the Group, are classified as inventories and carried at lower of the cost or net realisable value
(NRV).
Capitalised costs include land, construction, sub-contracting and other project development costs.
Other 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, production and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing
location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
Unrealisable inventory is fully written-off.
3.8 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
31
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.
3.9 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.
3.10 Dividends
Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
3.11 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 outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions
are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows to their present value at a pre-tax
rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the liability.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying construction services are sold
(assurance type warranty), as the Group does not provide additional warranties to customers. The
provision is based on historical warranty costs data and probabilities.
3.12 Employee benefits
The Group 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.
Based on the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, each employee
leaving the Group at the age of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment in the amount of 2-
month salary.
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 changes in terms of
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
32
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.
3.13 Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers
The majority of the Group’s revenue comes from the construction of buildings, structures,
equipment and networks, and the production and assembly of wooden panel houses. In addition,
as described in Note 5, the Group earns revenue from the design and manufacturing of metal
structures. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the services or
goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the
Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or goods. Generally, the Group has
no material variable price components in its contracts with customers.
The Group 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:
- 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’, contracts for the
assembly of wooden panel houses and the design and production of metal structures are fulfilled
over time and respectively revenue from these contracts and installation services are recognized
over time if any of the following criteria are met: (a) the customer simultaneously receives and
consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance as the Group performs; (b) the
Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created
or enhanced; or (c) the Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and
the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
When the Group can reasonably measure its progress towards complete satisfaction of the
performance obligation, for each contract, the Group recognizes revenue and expenses based on
the stage of completion. The stage of completion is assessed based on the proportion of the costs
incurred in fulfilling the contract up to date over to the total estimated costs of the 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.
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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
33
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
Group’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 recognized when the Group 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.
When contract costs are likely to exceed contract revenue, a loss is recognized immediately in
profit or loss.
When fulfilling the contracts, the Group can receive short term prepayments from its customers.
Applying the practical expedient, the Group is not adjusting the price allocation by the financing
component, if at the inception of the contract it is expected that the time period from the customer
payment for goods/services till the delivery of these goods/services will not exceed one year.
Contract balances
Contract assets
Contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the
customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer
pays consideration or before the Group’s right to amount of consideration is unconditional, a
contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration, except any amounts that are recognized
as receivables.
Receivables
Trade receivable represents the Group’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 obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group
has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. Contract
liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
Income from other services or sales of goods is recognised when the control over service/goods
is transferred to the customer, although such transactions are relatively not material.
3.14 Finance Income and Expense
Finance income comprises mainly interest income and other similar income. Interest income is
recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Financial costs comprise interest
expense and other financial expenses. 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.
3.15 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
34
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted
at the reporting date. Each company of the Group is taxed individually, irrespective the
consolidated Group’s results. Most of the Group’s activities are carried out in Lithuania, where
income tax rate of 15% applies.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method. The deferred tax reflects temporary
difference between the accounting value of assets and liabilities, and net tax influence of their tax
base. 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.
3.16 Earnings per Share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic
EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group
by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is
determined by adjusting the net profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary
shares, such as convertible notes and share options granted to employees.
The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares. The diluted earnings per share are the same
as the basic earnings per share.
3.17 Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which
it may earn revenues and incur expenses. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed
regularly by the chief operating decision maker of the Group 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.
3.18 Determination of Fair Values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair
value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous
market to which the Group has 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
35
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group 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 Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the
reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the
methods and assumptions described Note 14, 16 and 29. Where applicable, further information
about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that
asset or liability.
3.19 Off-setting
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 Group has exposure to the following financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
This note presents information about the Groups exposure to each of these risks, the Group’s
objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management
of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these financial statements.
The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk
management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and
analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor
risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to
reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group aims to develop a
disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles
and obligations.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its
contract liabilities. This risk arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables, contract assets
and the balance of cash and cash equivalents.
The Group controls credit risk by credit policies and procedures. The Group 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 Group only on a prepayment basis.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“

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.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is set out below:

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses
in respect of trade receivables. The main components of this allowance are specific losses that
relate to individually significant accounts receivable and expected credit losses recognised using
ELCs method. Methodology used for establishing the allowance is reviewed regularly to reduce
any differences between loss estimate and actual loss experienced.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at bank (only reliable banks are selected);
therefore, the related credit risk is relatively low.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial liabilities as they fall
due. The Group’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 Group’s reputation.
Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operating
expenses, including the servicing of borrowings.

Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in foreign currency rates
and interest rates will affect the results of the Group. The objective of market risk management is
to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the
return. As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Group did not use any derivatives.
Currency risk. The Group is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency rates on sales and
receivables, purchases payables and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency.

Interest rate risk. All the Group’s loans received and granted, and other borrowings are subject to
variable interest rates linked to EURIBOR. No financial instruments are used to manage the risk.
With an increase in the interest rate by 0.5% as at 31 December 2021, the Group’s net profit would
decrease by approximately EUR 102 thousand due to loans received (as at 31 December 2020:
net profit would decrease by EUR 76 thousand).
Capital management
The Boards policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and
market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the
return on capital and proposes the level of dividends based on the Group’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
Group adheres to the requirement set in the Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania under
which the equity of the entity must not be less than ½ of the issued capital. As at 31 December
2021 and 2020, the Group was in line with this regulation. The Group’s capital management
policy did not change during the year.
For capital management purpose, capital consists of share capital, retained earnings, revaluation
reserve and legal reserve.
5 Segments
For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on type of activities
and has four reportable segments:
Construction;

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which the tax benefit can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax
asset of impairment of a part of accounts receivable and tax differences in foreign jurisdictions has
not been recognized due to uncertainty of realisation.
The tax loss carried forward as at 31 December 2021 amounted to EUR 5,986 thousand (as at 31

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed as
at 31 December 2018 based on the consultations on possible market prices of the Group’s land and
buildings provided by independent appraisers, having appropriate recognized professional
qualifications and necessary experience in valuation of property at certain location and of certain
category. The valuation was performed using the comparable price method (Level 3 in the fair
value hierarchy). Significant unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per
square meter/are. The fair value would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and
decrease with a decrease in price per square meter/are.
For the purpose of financial statements, the management considers if there are any indications that
the carrying value of land and buildings is significantly different from the market value on an annual
basis. To verify management assessment, every five years external valuation report by appraiser is
performed. If the buildings and land were stated at cost model, their residual value as at 31
December 2021 would be equal to EUR 1,670 thousand (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 1,811
thousand).
As at 31 December 2021, the acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted
to EUR 2,660 thousand, (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 2,228 thousand).
As at 31 December 2021, land and buildings, including investment property, with the net carrying
amount of EUR 31,400 thousand were pledged to the banks (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 30,002
thousand). At 31 December 2021, the residual value of right-of-use assets (machinery, equipment
and vehicles) was EUR 147 thousand (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 3 thousand).

Amortisation is accounted for in the following way: EUR 13 thousand is included under cost of sales,
EUR 33 thousand administrative expenses (in 2020: EUR 21 thousand under cost of sales, EUR
18 thousand administrative expenses).
The goodwill is related to the subsidiary Alinita UAB (construction: conditioning work CGU). The
management has estimated that value in use is higher than the carrying amount; therefore; no
impairment was recognized for the goodwill.
As at 31 December 2021, acquisition cost of fully amortised intangible assets (but still in use)
amounted to EUR 90 thousand, (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 116 thousand).

In 2015, the Company acquired a 14-floor hotel Panevėžys located in Panevėžys, 16.74% of which
is rented out to third parties, and the rest of the hotel is not used. The Company has no detailed plans
regarding the use of the remaining part of the building yet; however, the building is not planned to
be 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 8090%; the same assumptions were used in 2020 and
2019). If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed),
then investment property fair value would decrease approximately by EUR 100 thousand and if exit
yield would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed) fair value of investment
property would decrease by EUR 90 thousand.
The identified fair value of the above investment property of EUR 1,420 thousand (in 2020: EUR
1,350 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-cancellable
lease agreements were the following: EUR 123 thousand in less than one year, EUR 165 thousand
between one and five years (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 91 thousand in less than one year, EUR
64 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from the hotel premises rent in 2021 amounted
to EUR 102 thousand (in 2020: EUR 99 thousand) and was accounted for under other income (see
Note 10).
The Group reclassified the operational buildings, storages and other premises to investment property
that are rented for third parties. Estimated fair value of these buildings as at 31 December 2018
amounted to EUR 262 thousand, which was evaluated in accordance with the reports of independent
real estate appraisers and a percentage of rented 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 management assessed that the fair value of
the investment property did not change significantly in 2021 and 2020.
Expected rental receivables of this investment property under non-cancellable contracts as at 31
December 2021 amounted to: EUR 62 thousand in less than one year, EUR 120 thousand between
one and five years (as at 31 December 2020: EUR 64 thousand in less than one year, EUR 129
thousand between one and five years). Revenue from lease in 2021 amounted to EUR 60 thousand
(in 2020: EUR 63 thousand) and was accounted under other income.

16. Investment Property (continued)
During 2021 and 2020, the Company reclassified the real estate project under development (office
building) UAB Šeškinės projektai from inventories, where it was accounted for as t at 31
December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively (Note 17), to investment property to achieve
the management’s current objectives to earn rentals. Following reclassification of certain assets,
accounted for as assets used in Group of companies, the fair value of remaining investment
property as at 31 December 2021 was estimated at EUR 29,895 thousand. N 2021, these assets
were measured at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy on investment
property, and an increase in value of EUR 2,433 was accounted for under other income (note 11).
The management considered the consultation of the independent appraiser (Ober-Haus
Nekilnojamas Turtas) on the fair value of the project as of 30 November 2021, and the
management’s estimation of the changes in the fair value during December when determining the
fair value of this project. Key assumptions used by the management in the estimation of the
recoverable value of investment as of 31 December 2021 were as follows: discount rate 8%
(pre-tax), lease of premises 84%, and leasing cost 12.2015.00 EUR/sq. m. per month.
At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable
lease agreements for office premises were as follows: EUR 1,676 thousand in less than one year,
EUR 4,801 thousand between one and five years (in 2020: EUR 1,044 thousand in less than one
year, EUR 5,206 thousand between one and five years).In 2021, lease income comprised EUR
1,093 thousand and was accounted under sales revenue (in 2020: EUR 444 thousand).
As at 31 December 2021, the total fair value of the investment property was estimated at EUR
31,400 thousand (in 2020: EUR 28,335 thousand) and was attributed to Level 3 in fair value
hierarchy.

27 Contingent Liabilities
Guarantees
As at 31 December 2021, the banks issued guarantees to third parties amounting to EUR 8,365
thousand in connection with liabilities under the construction contracts performed by the Group
(EUR 7,842 thousand as of 31 December 2020). The guarantees expire in the period from 17
January 2022 to 2 March 2025. In addition, the Group has guarantees issued by insurance
companies for the amount of EUR 13,417 thousand, which are also related to liabilities in the
construction contracts (in 2020: EUR 15,046). The guarantees expire in the period from 1 January
2022 to 17 December 2024. No additional liabilities are recorded in respect of these guarantees
in the financial statements other than estimated warranty reserve (Note 24).
Property with a carrying amount of EUR 35,975 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (EUR 30,002
thousand as at 31 December 2020) has been pledged to banks for the guarantee limit issued and
guarantees issued by bank. The guarantee limit amounts to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used
amount as at 31 December 2021 is EUR 8,013 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 2020, the
guarantee limit amount was EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 7,842 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 Regarding Irdaiva
UAB and PST AB 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
Republic of Lithuania”. Based on the Competition Council decision, joint activity agreement
signed between the Company and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders
organised 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 Company in total amount of EUR 8,514 thousand. The Company disputed the decision of the
Competition Council regarding the fine imposed and based on the assessment of the management
of all know facts and circumstances when preparing the Company’s annual financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2019, the management believed that it is more likely than not
that the Company will receive a positive decision and did not account for any provision related to
the decision made by the Competition Council as at 31 December 2019.
On 3 June 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced a non-appealable
ruling on the dispute of the Company against the decision of the Competition Council. As a
consequence, the Company recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8,514 thousand (Note 8) and related interest charge amounting
to EUR 1,385 thousand (Note 11), and the bailiff enforcement fee amounting to EUR 396
thousand (Note8). The Company 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
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements

described below. The final outcome of the dispute over the size of interest expenses cannot be
reasonably determined at this stage.
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
fines and interest imposed on the Company 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. A draft settlement agreement for implementation in the enforcement process is currently
being submitted to the Tax Authority for approval. The Tax Authority informed the Company
that it had applied to the European Commission for notification of state aid. The European
Commission’s decision is expected in the spring of this year. Upon receipt of a positive decision
of the European Commission, the Company will have to agree the final terms of the settlement
agreement with the State Tax Authority, and the settlement agreement signed by the parties will
have to be approved by the court. Meanwhile the Company fulfils its obligations and pays the
fine imposed by the Competition Council in line with the 8-year fine payment schedule, although
the Tax Authority has left a right to change the schedule if changes in circumstances appear. Also
the Company’s assets with the residual value of EUR 3,057 thousand as at 31 December 2021
(EUR 3,578 thousand as at 31 December 2020) was arrested as a guarantee for fulfilment of the
obligations.
Additionally, one civil cases is currently pending in the courts regarding interest charge and
enforcement fees, as described further.
In relation to the claim regarding interests in the amount of EUR 1,385 thousand, the Company
believes that the amount of the calculated interest and time limits for its calculation had to be
specified in the enforcement order, i.e. the decision of the Competition Council of 9 June 2020.
In addition, statutory interest must be calculated in accordance with Article 39(2) of the
Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania, i.e. interest must be accrued until the fine is paid to
the state budget and no longer than 180 days. In this case, interest shall amount to EUR 252
thousand. The bailiff's order regarding the enforcement fees in amount of EUR 396 thousand is
also disputed in the court. In the Company’s view, the enforcement fees are clearly excessive. In
the disputes concerning interest and enforcement fees, the court has granted interim measures, i.
e. the recovery of interest and enforcement fees has been suspended.
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-

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2021 and 2020 at the Group.
The following methods and assumptions are used by the Group 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
discounting 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
61
29 Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the
loans are subject of market level variable interest.
Accounts payable, loans and borrowings, and lease 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 other current payables including fine imposed by the
Competition Council is considered to approximate to their carrying value due to short contractual
maturity term. The fair value of borrowings (overdraft) was estimated to approximate carrying
value as it is subject to variable market interest rates.

32 Events after the End of the Reporting Period
Still reeling from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy needs to face another
round of challenges in 2022. Increased geopolitical tensions in the region and in the European
Union (EU) following Russia’s attack on Ukraine undoubtedly affect the construction and real
estate sector. Today it is very difficult to predict the impact of the situation on the construction
sector. Ukraine is a significant supplier of raw materials, therefore the war in Ukraine has a
significant impact on the material supply chain and price increases. Having assessed the risk, the
Group ceased ordering raw materials from third countries, including Ukraine, Belarus and Russia,
however, a significant part of reinforcing bars, crude steel, wood and silicon blocks were imported
from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. To ensure timely supply of materials, the Group companies
are looking for alternative sources of supply and reorganizing the supply chain to import raw
materials from other countries. The construction sector and other Group companies are also
heavily influenced by the increased energy costs.
It is likely that disturbances in the financial market, rising prices of raw materials and energy, will
encourage customers to review or hold back investments with some projects being suspended or
delayed. This may weaken the construction output.
The Group thoroughly monitors and evaluates the ongoing processes in the market in order to
ensure a seamless continuation of activities.
AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas and Group of companies will look for solutions to cushion the
negative impact of war on the Group’s activities and will seek to ensure the optimisation of costs
of implemented projects, ongoing investments and routine activities.

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) in Lithuania and the countries where the Group
companies operate. 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).
COVID-19 impact:
In 2021, the construction sector was still among the ones most affected. The Company and the Group
of Panevezio statybos trestas AB looked for solutions and recourses for the problems, operational
challenges and risks that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were able to adapt to the
radically changed operating conditions and the changed behaviour of market participants. Instead of
postponing decisions to quieter times after the quarantine, the Company and the Group made every
effort to maintain a normal pace of operations. The management responsibly monitors and assesses
the current situation (especially with regard to customer payments, shortages of supplies, order
fulfilment) and responds without delay as well as makes appropriate decisions to ensure business
continuity.

13. Operation plans and forecasts of the Company and the Group
The economy that has not been able to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will face
a difficult period again in 2022. The increased geopolitical tension in the region and the European
Union (EU) following the Russia's invasion of Ukraine are undoubtedly affecting the construction
and real estate sectors. Thus far, it is very difficult to forecast the impact of the situation on the
construction sector. As Ukraine is a major supplier of raw materials, the war currently taking place
in Ukraine has a significant impact on the supply chain of materials and price increase. The Group
has considered the risks and does not order materials from any third countries, including Ukraine,
Belarus and Russia. However, most of the Lithuanian suppliers from which the Group purchases
materials, imported most of reinforcement bars, raw steel, timber and silicate blocks from Ukraine,
Belarus and Russia. To ensure the timely delivery of materials, the Company and the companies of
the Group are looking for alternatives and reorganizing the supply chain of materials to other
countries. The rise in energy prices also has a significant impact on the construction sector and the
companies of the Group.
It is likely that due to the turmoil in the financial markets, rising prices for raw materials and energy,
clients may review or suspend investments resulting in suspension or delay of some projects. This
might mean reduction in the volume of construction.
The Group and the Company responsibly monitors and assesses the processes ongoing in the market
to ensure the smooth continuity of operations.
Panevezio statybos trestas AB and the companies of the Group will search for solutions to absorb
the negative effects of the war on the operations of the Group, seek to ensure that the costs of the
projects in progress as well as investments and operating activities are optimal.
In 2022, the Company and the Group will make every effort to assess and manage the risks that have
arisen, find new markets and increase the cost-effectiveness of new projects. The Company and the
Group will continue developing real estate in order to achieve a return on investments.

Information on extent of risk and risk management
Risk management is a part of strategic management and integral to the day-to-day operations of the
Group. In managing risks, the main objective of the Group is to identify higher and significant risks
and manage them in the optimal way. The following financial risks are faced within the Group: credit,
liquidity, market 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 aim to ensure that the services are provided to reliable clients and do not exceed the
permissible credit risk limit is continuously maintained. The clients failing to meet the established
limit may only make purchases with the Group after paying prepayments.
The Group manages liquidity risk to ensure, as far as possible, sufficient liquidity, which allows
fulfilling its obligations under both normal and complex conditions without incurring unacceptable
losses and without facing the risk to lose reputation of the Group. The Company and the Group strives
to maintain sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents or secure of appropriate credit instruments
so as to fulfil their obligations.
The market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, for example, changes in exchange rates and
interest rates will affect the result of the Group or the value of available financial instruments. The
purpose of the market risk management is to manage open positions of risk in order to optimize
returns.
82
Business risk is related to the Group's entry into new markets, segments, management of available
inventories and investments, and execution of construction contracts. One of the peculiarities related
to construction activities is that the fulfilment of concluded construction contracts is a long-term
process, which makes the sector inert to changes in the economic environment. For this reason, both
positive and negative changes reach the economic environment in the construction sector with
considerable delay. In order to manage business risk, the Company and the Group seek to diversify
their sources of revenue. To this end, orders are being sought and contracts are being concluded in
both private and public sectors, and markets are being searched not only in Lithuania but in other
countries as well. The companies of the Group operate in different sectors, such as construction, real
estate development, production and engineering network installation. The construction sector is not
limited to the construction of single-purpose buildings. The Company implements construction
projects for industrial, engineering, environmental and residential buildings. Before starting new
projects, the Company and the companies of the Group make a thorough analysis of the project
specifics and only after are confident that the environment is sufficiently stable and a competent team
is collected, final decisions are made.
The accounts of the Company are kept and financial statements are prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards adopted for application in the EU. The annual financial
statements are audited by the independent auditors selected by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
This procedure ensures relevance and transparency of the data provided in the financial statements.
Operational risk constitutes the risk of probability to incur losses due to people, systems, inadequate
internal processes or their failure, effects of external events, including legal risks. For the purposes
of operational risk management, the Group implements appropriate measures to ensure functioning
of the internal control system and appropriate co-operation with relevant third parties. The main
elements of internal control applied in the Group are control of operations and accounting, limits of
decision-making powers and their control, separation of business decision-making and control
functions, etc. The aim is to minimize the risk of legal compliance and ensure that the activities
carried out comply with the applicable legislation. To this end, the advice of professional lawyers
and their participation are used in the processes of drafting internal instruments and contracts.

with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015/LST EN ISO 14001:2015, legal and other environmental
regulations established, documented and constantly reviewed to ensure its suitability, adequacy and
effectiveness.
In the process of implementation related to the established Environmental Policy, the Company seeks
to preserve a healthy environment to any employee, biological and landscape diversity as well as
optimal use of natural resources. The Environmental Policy is published in all branches, subsidiary
companies and sites of Panevezio statybos trestas AB, available for public and all interested parties
on the website at www.pst.lt.
When making plans of the environmental system, external and internal issues with regard to the
objectives and strategic direction of the Company as well as needs and requirements of interested
parties are taken into account resulting in defining risks and opportunities to make sure that the
integrated management system is able to achieve the intended outcome, strengthen the desired
impact, prevent or reduce undesired effects and achieve continual improvement. The Company plans
actions to eliminate risks, actions to address and strengthen opportunities, 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 2021 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.
Panevezio statybos trestas AB operates a 200 kW solar power plant generating approximately 190
thousand kWh of the electric power annually, which makes about 30 per cents of the electric power
consumed by the production facilities. In addition to that, the Company operates three power plants
of 30 kW each, together they generate about 80,000 kWh of renewable electric power, which is
supplied to the electric grid. In 2021, a new 150 kW solar power plant was installed and started in
one of the companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB. It is planned that it
will produce about 80 90 per cents of the electric power required for production facilities.
The amount of green electric power generated from the renewable electric sources over the year 2021
totalled 263.549 thousand kWh (24.9 thousand kWh in 2020), which prevented 1028.79 t of CO2
emissions (97.2 t of CO
2
in 2020).

In 2021, the company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB, installed and 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.

Modern engineering systems creating a healthy working environment are applied in the buildings
under construction. Where possible, environmentally friendly building materials are used. 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
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. 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 has been prepared based on the Communication from the European Commission -
Guidelines on Non-Financial Reporting (2017-C 215-01).

Taxonomy Overview
Regulation (EU) 2020/852, also known as the Taxonomy Regulation, establishes a common
nomenclature for the classification of sustainable economic activities and analysis of investments to
be considered as contributing to environmental objectives. The main activity of the Company is the
construction and design of various buildings, structures, equipment and communications and other
objects. The Company carries out work on the basis of detailed designs approved by the clients and
does not directly affect any sustainable economic activities set out in the regulation. As the Group
will be obliged to provide information in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation, we have carried
out a preliminary assessment of whether/how the activities contribute to one of the six environmental
objectives set.
1. 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.
2. In its operations the Company uses only green electric power generated from renewable
electric power sources. A part of the consumed electric power is produced by the Company
itself, and another part is purchased from the suppliers of green electric power. operates a
200 kW solar power plant generating approximately 190 thousand kWh of the electric power
annually, which makes about 30 per cents of the electric power consumed by the production
facilities. In addition to that, the Company operates three power plants of 30 kW each,
together they generate about 80,000 kWh of renewable electric power, which is supplied to
the electric grid. A new 150 kW solar power plant was installed and started in one of the
companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB. The amount of green
electric power generated from the renewable electric sources over the year 2021 totalled
263.549 thousand kWh (24.9 thousand kWh in 2020). the company of Panevezio statybos
trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB, uses a biofuel boiler house for heating of premises. 30
per cents of the biofuel required for operation of this boiler is obtained from production
timber wood waste, which does not need to be disposed of. These are renewable energy
sources, which allow significantly reducing the use of fossil fuels and contribute to reduction
of the greenhouse effect.
3. 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.
4. Renewable car fleet. We give up 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.
Relationship with Employees
The main asset of the Company is employees, who are the most important link in achieving the
objectives. Therefore, much attention is paid to motivation of employees: environment favourable

key factors describing competitiveness of the Company. Considering this factor, the Company
