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 2022, 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 2022, 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. 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 recognized 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 2022 with the total
cost estimates and forecasted margins for those contracts used for revenue recognition as of 31
December 2021.
- Considering whether all material loss making contracts were properly identified and accounted for;
- Selecting a sample of contracts with the greatest potential impact on the Company’s financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, considering both quantitative and qualitative
criteria, such as significant margin changes, loss-making contracts or projects which are unique in
their 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.
2. Fair value assessment of the investment property
The Group accounts for investment properties in the financial statements at fair value (IAS 40). The increase
under Investment property caption as of 31 December 2022 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.
3. Impairment of trade accounts receivable and contract assets
As at 31 December 2022, the Group had non-current and current trade accounts receivable and contract
assets balance amounting to EUR 0.20 million and EUR 20.96 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
24.0 % of the total assets of the Group in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 and
high level of management judgement involved in the assessment of their impairment.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures, among others, included the following:
- We gained an understanding of the management’s process of estimation of impairment of trade
receivables and contract assets. This included the consideration whether the model used to 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 2022. We
tested the correctness of aging of the receivables by agreeing the date to the invoices issued for
selected items and verified the arithmetical accuracy of the management’s calculation of impairment.
Furthermore, we have assessed the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements on this matter
(Notes 2 and 18).
Other Information
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 this
regard.
In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Group’s Annual Report,
including Corporate Governance Statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the
consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and
whether the Group’s Annual Report, including Corporate Governance Statement and 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.

been chosen to carry out the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the first time. Our

always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

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.

Consolidated Financial Statements

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 companys 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. The revaluation was carried
out on 31 December 2022.
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 value approach, the Company also relied on the Purchase
and Sale Agreement signed with a third party after the reporting date and related information.
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

2. Basis of preparation (continued)
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

Note 24: Warranty provision is calculated by the Group on a monthly basis based on monthly

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
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 Group’s 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 2022.
(a) Standards, their amendments and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2022.
IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions,
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, the Group 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 assessed that these amendments has no material impact on the
financial statements.
(b) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted and their amendments
New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not mandatory for reporting period beginning
on 1 January 2022 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial statements are
presented below:
IFRS 17 and IFRS 4: the Deferral of Effective Dates of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for Insurers
(Amendments) (issued on 25 June 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after 1
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

so that the Company would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2023.
The management has assessed that these amendments will not have any impact on the Group’s
financial statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on 18 May 2017 with effective date of 1 January 2023).
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with earlier
application permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments have also been applied. In its meeting in March 2020, IASB decided to defer the effective
date of the standard to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar
principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary
participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a
way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial
statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial
position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity.
This Standard will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group 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).
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 1 January 2023 with earlier application
permitted.
The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of
Accounting policies (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January
2023).
The amendments effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier
application is permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality
judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the
requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material
accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to
assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy
disclosures. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these
amendments.
IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of
Accounting Estimates (Amendments) (issued on 12 February 2021 with effective date of 1 January
2023).
The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts
in 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. The
management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.

Amendments to IAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (issued on 23
January 2020 with effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU).
The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies
determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain
settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation
of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around
measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information
that entities disclose about those items Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements
for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. The amendments have
not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the
implementation of these amendments.
Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants” (issued on 31 October 2022 with
effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU):
Modify the requirements introduced by Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current on how
an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular
circumstances: Only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting
date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity has to
disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that
non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months. The
amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The
amendments are applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 and earlier application is permitted.
The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the
impact of the implementation of these amendments.
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” with amendments that
clarify how a seller-lessee subsequently measures sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy
the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale (issued on 22 September 2022 with
effective date of 1 January 2024, but not before it is adopted by the EU).
Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback” require a seller-lessee to
subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any
amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not
prevent a seller-lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full
termination of a lease. The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2024 with earlier application permitted. A seller-lessee applies the amendments
retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application. The
amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact
of the implementation of these amendments.
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 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:
(a) At amortised cost (debt instruments).
(b) 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
2022 and 2021;
(c) 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 2022 and 2021;
(d) At fair value through profit or loss. The Group did not have such items as at 31 December 2022
and 2021.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.2 Financial Instruments (continued)
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
Based on the Group’s management assessment, trade receivables and contract assets do not include a
significant financing component and are accordingly measured for impairment using the simplified
method, i.e. management makes an individual assessment of expected credit losses for each important
customer taking into account its credit history, future factors and subjective risk factors related to the
borrower. 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
24
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.2 Financial Instruments (continued)
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 written off or amortised. Amortised cost is calculated by reference to the
discount or premium on acquisition, as well as taxes or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. EIR
amortization is included in financial expenses in the statement of comprehensive income.
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of
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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
25
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.2 Financial Instruments (continued)
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
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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.3 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
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.
3.4 Intangible assets (other than goodwill)
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.
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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.5 Investment Property (continued)
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 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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.6 Leased Assets and Lease Liabilities (continued)
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.
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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.9 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (continued)
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
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 perform(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 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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.13 Revenue (continued)
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
Receivables 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. Interest expenses
3.14 Finance Income and Expense (continued)
are recognized 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.
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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.15 Income Tax (continued)
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.
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).

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
3.18 Determination of Fair Values (continued)
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 Group’s 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.
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.

4. Financial Risk Management (continued)
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.

4. Financial Risk Management (continued)
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 2022 and 2021, 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.
During the year, currency exchange rates in respect of the euro were as follows:

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 2022, the Group’s net profit would
decrease by approximately EUR 98 thousand due to loans received (as at 31 December 2021: net
profit would decrease by EUR 102 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 2022 and
2021, the Group was in line with this requirement. 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;
Steel structures;
Wooden panel houses;
Other activity.
The segment of construction includes operations of AB Panevėžio Statybos Trestas, UAB Vekada,
UAB Alinita and PS Trests SIA. The main field of activity is the construction, design and installation
of various buildings, constructions, facilities and communications or construction of other objects
(electrical installation works, renovation of buildings, installation of plumbing, sewage and fire
protection systems, video surveillance systems, security and fire alarm systems) in Lithuania and
outside the country.
The segment of Steel Structures includes operations of UAB Hustal. The main field of activity is
designing and fabrication of steel structures for construction purposes. This company also supplies

5. Segments (continued)
The segment of wooden panel houses includes operation of UAB Skydmedis. The main field of
activity is production, construction and outfit of wooden panel houses. Wooden panel houses are the
main product of the Group with approximately 89 % of products successfully exported to Norway,
Sweden, the Netherlands, Iceland and other countries.
Other activity includes operations of UAB Šeškinės Projektai, UAB Ateities Projektai, UAB PST
Investicijos, whose main activity is real estate development, and Kingsbud Sp.z.o.o., which the main
activity is the wholesale trading of building materials, as well as other activities of AB Panevėžio
Statybos Trestas (production of aluminium constructions, concrete floor installation, and the like).
Operating segments related to construction activity have been aggregated in order to form one
construction segment as these separate segments are to various operations performed at different
phases of construction. No other operating segments have been aggregated to form the above
reportable segments.
Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with
profit from operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Transfer prices between operating segments are based on the prices set by the management, which
management considers being similar to transactions with third parties.

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.

Land and buildings are stated at revalued amount. The last external revaluation was performed as at
31 December 2022 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 value approach. Significant
unobservable data was used in fair value measurement, i.e. price per square meter/are. The fair value
would increase with an increase in price per square meter/are and decrease with a decrease in price
per square meter/are.
If the buildings and land were stated at cost model, their net book value as at 31 December 2022
would be equal to EUR 1,767 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 1,670 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, the acquisition cost of fully depreciated but still in use assets amounted
to EUR 3,479 thousand, (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 2,660 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, land and buildings, including investment property, with the carrying
amount of EUR 37,772 thousand were pledged to the banks (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 31,400
thousand). At 31 December 2022, the net book value of right-of-use assets (machinery, equipment
and vehicles) was EUR 126 thousand (in 2021: EUR 147 thousand).

Amortisation was accounted for in the following way: EUR 8 thousand was recorded under cost of
sales, EUR 33 thousand administrative expenses (in 2021: EUR 13 thousand under cost of sales,
EUR 33 thousand administrative expenses).
The goodwill is related to the subsidiary UAB Alinita (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 2022, the acquisition cost of fully amortised intangible assets (but still in use)
amounted to EUR 108 thousand, (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 90 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 2022 and
2021). If the discount rate would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed),
then investment property fair value would decrease by approx. EUR 105 thousand, and if exit yield
would increase by 1% (remaining assumptions would not be changed), the fair value of investment
property would decrease by EUR 102 thousand.
The identified fair value of the above investment property of EUR 1,550 thousand (in 2021: EUR
1,420 thousand) was attributed to Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable
lease agreements were the following: EUR 171 thousand in less than one year, EUR 112 thousand
between one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 123 thousand in less than one year, EUR
165 thousand between one and five years). Revenue from the hotel premises rent in 2022 amounted
to EUR 123 thousand (in 2021: EUR 102 thousand) and was accounted for under other income (see
Note 10).
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 2022
amounted to EUR 351 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.
Expected rental receivables of this investment property under non-cancellable contracts as at 31
December 2022 amounted to: EUR 88 thousand in less than one year, EUR 114 thousand between
one and five years (as at 31 December 2021: EUR 62 thousand in less than one year, EUR 120
thousand between one and five years).

16. Investment Property (continued)
Revenue from lease in 2022 amounted to EUR 69 thousand (in 2021: EUR 60 thousand) and was
accounted under other income.
During 2021 and 2020, the Company reclassified the real estate project under development (office
building) UAB Šeškinės projektai from inventories 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 2022 was estimated at EUR 30,664 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: EUR
29,895 thousand). In 2022, these assets were measured at fair value in accordance with the Groups
accounting policy on investment property, and an increase in value of EUR 573 thousand (in 2021:
EUR 2,433 thousand) 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 2022, 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 2022
were as follows: discount rate 8.25% (pre-tax), leased area 93%, with the cost of 11.024.41
EUR/sq. m. per month for lease of premises.
At the end of the financial year, future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable
lease agreements for office premises were as follows: EUR 3,038 thousand in less than one year,
EUR 6,128 thousand between one and five years (in 2021: EUR 1,676 thousand in less than one
year, EUR 4,801 thousand between one and five years). In 2022, lease income comprised EUR
2,195 thousand and was accounted under sales revenue (in 2021: EUR 1,093 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, the total fair value of the investment property was estimated at EUR
32,514 thousand (in 2021: EUR 31,400 thousand) and was attributed to Level 3 in fair value
hierarchy.

limit amounted to EUR 15,000 thousand, the used amount was EUR 8,013 thousand.
Legal contingencies
The Group is involved in below described material legal cases:
(1) The Competition Council has made a decision as of 20 December 2017 „UAB Regarding Irdaiva
and AB PST actions in joint participation in public tenders of buildings renovation and
modernization works meeting the requirements of 5th article of the Competition law of the Republic
of Lithuania”. Based on the Competition Council decision, joint activity agreement signed between
the Group and UAB Irdaiva for providing joint offers in 24 public tenders organized by UAB
Vilniaus Vystymo Kompanija intended to limit competition and violated the requirements of Article
5(1) of the Competition Law of Republic of Lithuania. A fine was set to the Group in total amount
of EUR 8,514 thousand. On 3 June 2020, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania announced
a non-appealable ruling on the dispute of the Group against the decision of the Competition Council.
As a consequence, the Group recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2020 the fine amounting to EUR 8,514 thousand and related interest charge amounting to EUR
1,385 thousand, and the bailiff enforcement fee amounting to EUR 396 thousand.
The Group recognised the full amounts of fine, interest and enforcement fees in its financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, however the management took additional legal
actions to reduce the interest and the enforcement fee amounts, as further described below.
The Tax Authority informed the participants involved in the enforcement process by the letter No
21915 (individual administrative act) of 12 August 2020 on the decision to set the payment of fine
and interest imposed on the Group in equal parts for a period of eight years. The Tax Authority also
stated that the bailiff's enforcement fees should not be included in the payment schedule. On 20
February 2023, the Settlement Agreement was signed with the Tax Authority, with the fine payable
in equal instalments over four years period.

The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB
PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-238-1105/2021 regarding the
bailiff’s orders by which the enforcement fees were calculated. By the ruling of 8 February 2022,
the Court overturned the order No S-20-102-25277 of S. Ramanauskas, a bailiff, dated 7 September
2020, regarding the recovery of enforcement fees in the enforcement proceedings No
0102/20/00638. The parties to the proceedings did not appeal, and thus bailiff's enforcement fees
decreased from EUR 396 thousand to EUR 45 thousand.
The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court investigated the appeal of AB
PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS in a civil case No 2YT-8648-452/2020 [2YT-230-452/2021]
regarding the bailiff’s orders by which the interest payable and the enforcement fees were calculated
under the Decision No 2S-11(2017) of 20 December 2017 of the Competition Council of the
Republic of Lithuania. The Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dismissed the
appeal by an order of 13 January 2021. This order was appealed by bringing a separate appeal on
20 January 2021. By order of 20 April 2021, the Panevėžys Regional Court upheld the decision of
the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court unchanged. This decision was appealed
in cassation. On 14 April 2022, the Supreme Court of Lithuania overturned the ruling of the
Panevėžys Regional Court dated 20 April 2021 and remitted the case to the appeal court for
reconsideration. On 14 June 2022, the Panevėžys Regional Court overturned the ruling of the
Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 January 2021, and decided this
question on the merits: upheld the appeal against the actions of bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas in
enforcement proceedings No OI 02/20/00638; repealed the bailiff's order No S-20- 17054 dated 11
June 2020, order No S-20-102-17225 dated 12 June 2020, order No 20-102-17214 dated 12 June
2020, order No S-20-102-17969 dated 18 June 2020 and order No S-20-102-18809 dated 30 June
2020 concerning the calculation of interest and enforcement fees (bailiff fees), and ordered the
bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas to carry out a recalculation of the interest and enforcement fees
specified in these orders. On this basis, the interest charged decreased from EUR 1,385 thousand to
EUR 252 thousand.
At the Tax Authority (Plaintiff) request, enforcement proceedings No 0102/20/00638 were stayed
by the bailiff's order of 14 July 2022.
On 21 February 2023, the Tax Authority submitted the letter to Saulius Ramanauskas No RNA-
5192 “Regarding Approval of the Settlement Agreement in the Enforcement Proceedings” dated 20
February 2023 and “Settlement Agreement in the Enforcement Proceedings” dated 17 February
2023. The letter contains requests to submit the Settlement Agreement to the court for approval and
to inform the Competition Council of the Republic of Lithuania thereof.
On 13 March 2023, the Panevėžys Regional Court passed the ruling on approval of the settlement
agreement in the enforcement proceedings. The court ruling is not final and subject to appeal.
On 17 March 2023, AB PANEVĖŽIO STATYBOS TRESTAS submitted a separate complaint
regarding the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March
2023 in the proceedings No 2VP-2582-837/2023, by which it requested to set aside the order of the
Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March 2023 in the proceedings No
2VP-2582-837/2023, and to pass new ruling to satisfy the statement submitted by the bailiff Saulius
Ramanauskas and to approve the Settlement Agreement.
On 21 March 2023, a separate complaint of the Tax Authority was filed before the Panevėžys
District Court regarding the ruling of the Chamber of Panevėžys of the Panevėžys District Court
dated 13 January 2021, by which it is requested to set aside the order of the Chamber of Panevėžys
of the Panevėžys District Court dated 13 March 2023 in the proceedings No 2VP-2582-837/2023,
and to pass new ruling to satisfy the statement submitted by the bailiff Saulius Ramanauskas and to

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in 2022 and 2021 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.
AB „Panevėžio statybos trestas“
Consolidated Financial Statements
59
29. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
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.
29. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The fair value of non-current trade receivables was estimated to approximate carrying value as
discounting effect was determined to be not material.
The fair value of loans granted was estimated to approximate carrying value as majority of the loans
are subject of market level variable interest.
Payables, 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
After the end of the financial year and up until the date these financial statements were approved,
no other significant subsequent events occurred. Geopolitical developments led to a very
significant change in the prices of raw and construction materials in Q1 and Q2 of 2022. The
Group had fixed-price contracts for work, thus the majority of the costs of raw and construction
materials substantially increased the cost of sales. The increased costs were partially offset by
indexation of sales prices to customers, as well as part of the costs was shared by suppliers and
subcontractors. Geopolitical events in 2022 also affected supply chains, resulting in delays in
some materials, and affected the time-limits for the implementation of contract projects, as well
as the Group’s sales volume. In 2023, the geopolitical uncertainty remains, but no significant
negative impact on the Group’s plans for 2023 is expected. To mitigate uncertainty and manage
risks, the Group takes a proactive approach in cost management, in particular, in reducing of costs,
purchasing of materials, etc.

Key events after the reporting period (in the year 2023)
2 February 2023. The General Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders was reconvened to take the
resolution on approval of the agreed material conditions for the settlement agreement with the State
Tax Inspectorate.
For several years now, taking into account the risks involved, the Company has been putting
tendentious efforts to withdraw from the market of the Russian Federation.
Risk factors related to the Company’s activities:
In their operation, both the Company and the Group face various types of risks, such as legal
regulation, severe competition, shortage of qualified labour, cyclical nature of economy, consistency
of orders, volatile material prices in the global market, macroeconomic factors, damping. However,
only a few of them may have significant impact on the performance results of the Group and the
Company. The main factors that create business risk for the Company and the Group are competition
in the construction market and changes in the demand for construction services. The demand for
construction services also depends heavily on the volume of investments and financing received from
the EU structural funds. Increase and variation of material and service prices make the process of the
project budgeting and possibility to complete the already started projects based on the planned costs
more difficult. This results in extra risk for performance of fixed price construction contracts and
reduces profitability of projects. Furthermore, activity of the Company and the Group is influenced
by the economic situation (economic cycles), geopolitical changes in Lithuania and the countries
where the Group companies operate, Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, and remaining risks
related to COVID-19. Although there is still some uncertainty about the trends in global economic
development as well as regional and global crisis in future.
Information on the types of financial risks and risk management is provided in the Notes to the
Separate Financial Statements (Note 4) and Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 4). Legal
uncertainties are provided in the Notes to the Separate Financial Statements (Note 28) and
Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 27).
10. Analysis of financial and non-financial performance, information related to
environmental and employee matters
Some recent years are a big challenge for the global and Lithuanian economy. At the end of
pandemic, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, which began at the beginning of the year, caused
a major geopolitical crisis. Therefore, the large increase in prices of energy resources resulted in
further rise of already high inflation.
The war in Ukraine has greatly influenced activities of the Company as well as the entire construction
sector. Since the beginning of the war, the considerable increase in material prices, shortage of raw
materials and supply disturbances have had a significant impact on performance results.

13. Operation plans and forecasts of the Company and the Group
Due to the various geopolitical events or even climatic factors, currently having a significant impact

the operational strategy and business goals approved by the Board to remain competitive and
maintain the position of the construction market leader. Panevezio statybos trestas AB and the

on the operation 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

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, business and operational.
The Board is responsible for setting up and maintaining the risk management structure. The risk
management policy of the Group is aimed at identifying and analysing the risks faced by the Group,
introduction and maintenance of appropriate limits and controls. The risk management policy and
risk management systems are reviewed at regular intervals to reflect changes in market conditions
and operation of the Group. The Group seeks to create a disciplined and constructive environment
for risk management where all employees know their roles and responsibilities.
Based on the credit risk policy established by the Group, standard payments and terms are only
offered after credit standing of each new client has been assessed. The potential credit risk for the
clients of the Group and the Company is managed through continuous monitoring of outstanding
balances. The 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.
79
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.

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

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.

In its activities, the Company uses only green electricity generated from renewable electricity
sources. Panevezio statybos trestas AB takes a responsible approach to the issue of climate change
and is not only a consumer of electricity, but also a producer.
Panevezio statybos trestas AB operates a 200 kW solar power plant, which annually generates
approximately 200 thousand kWh of electric power, this makes about 30 per cents of all electric
power consumed by the production facilities.
In 2023, expansion of this power plant is planned so that the amount of electric power generated by
the plant covers up to 60 percent of all electric power consumed by the production facilities. In
addition to that, the Company operates three power plants 30 kW each, which together generate about
80,000 kWh of renewable electric power supplied to the power grid.
In 2022, the company of the Group, Skydmedis UAB, started operating a 50 kW solar power plant.
During the first year of operation, the investments met the expectations, which allowed the company
of the Group company to generate up to 97 per-cents of required electric power.
During 2022, Panevezio statybos trestas AB produced 443.932 thousand kWh of electric power from
its own renewable power generation sources and this allowed to avoid 174,021 kg of CO
2
greenhouse
gas emissions, which would be equivalent to 5194 planted trees.
The company of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group, Skydmedis UAB, started using a bioboiler for
heating of premises. 30 per cents of the biofuel required for operation of this boiler is obtained from
production timber waste, which does not need to be disposed of.
The MobyDick ConLine KIT Flex400 MC Wheel Washing System has been successfully in use. The
closed-cycle wheel washing system not only reduces street pollution with dirt, prevents contaminated
water from entering urban sewage networks, but also does not interfere with other road users when
cleaning roads and is an alternative to sweeping brooms that cause dust and particulate matter spread
in the city.
The accounting of generated waste is performed in the GPAIS module: https://www.gpais.eu.
The Group sorted out the following quantities of waste for recycling and reuse, as well as secondary

The construction sector is a significant contributor to global CO
2
emissions due to its huge workload.
The companies of Panevezio statybos trestas AB Group are looking for ways to reduce them. This
87
is done by prioritizing optimization of resources, search for and implementation of sustainable
solutions and innovations. Modern engineering systems creating a healthy working environment are
applied in the buildings under construction.
The use of hazardous chemicals in construction sites is reduced by replacing them with less
hazardous ones. As an example, in one of our projects we used Ecocrete concrete of a special formula
developed for us and with lower CO
2
emissions, which has the same standard and early strength
indicators as common concrete, but guarantees a fairly significant reduction in CO
2
emissions. The
changed climatic conditions are taken into account in the construction process of the new buildings.
As the temperature conditions change, the needs for indoor ventilation, heating and cooling also
change. Therefore, new technological and architectural solutions are being implemented. The new
buildings construction of which is currently started by the Company are of the A++ energy efficiency
class. The buildings of the A ++ energy efficiency class use almost no thermal energy, which
contributes to the climate change mitigation.
The construction sector uses very unsustainable CO
2
-neutral materials: steel, cement, glass, etc.,
therefore solutions are being sought to make the construction process more environmentally friendly,
i. e. use of organic materials. For construction of new buildings, sustainable materials are used more
often. After the life cycle of the building these materials could be reused for a new life cycle or be
environmentally friendly and do not result in pollutions by means of recycling. One such material is
timber. Skydmedis UAB, the company of the Group, uses timber panels for the construction of
houses. Designers apply the highest standards for design and construction of a building, contributing
to environmental sustainability and healthy work environment. In the design process much attention
is paid to ensuring indoor air quality, intelligent lighting in accordance with good international
practices, sound resistance that retains external noise. The B2EAM New Construction Very Good
certificate confirming the above measures has been awarded to the Business Centre U219. This
certificate also acknowledges the responsible approach of developers to the environment and human
health, and guarantees long-term returns.
The report was prepared taking into account the Communication from the European
Commission Guidelines on Non-Financial Reporting (017/C 215/01).
Relationship with Employees
The main asset of the Company is employees, who are the most important link in achieving the
objectives. Therefore, much attention is paid to motivation of employees: environment favourable
for development of new ideas and their implementation is being created, continuous exchange of
information is taking place. In the present-day environment, competence of employees is one of the
key factors describing competitiveness of the Company. Considering this factor, the Company
encourages employees in all organizational levels to learn and develop. Employees are given the
opportunity to study, improve their qualifications, and participate in various seminars and trainings.
In 2021, the training cycles on emotional intelligence were organized, and a course on improvement
of performance appraisal skills was provided for managers. The lawyers together with the staff of
the Personnel Department attended the Annual Labour Law Conference, and training was provided
to the lawyers on the continuously changing regulation of public procurement. In 2021 considerable
attention was also paid to improving the practical skills of internal communication, for that purpose
professional lecturers were invited.
We constantly strive to become the leader in the construction market, guaranteeing safe and non-
hazardous work places for the employees of Panevezio statybos trestas AB and all employees
working on behalf of the Company. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO
45001) implemented in 2008 ensures continuous identification and assessment of OHS risk factors,
identification of risk management measures and control of their implementation for the Company.
The work and personal protective equipment is selected for the employees following the most
advanced technologies.
The professional competence of employees and perception of employees in the field of occupational
safety and health is continuously improved. Much attention is paid to prevention of accidents and
occupational diseases, and reduction of accident likelihood. Partners, suppliers and others working
88
on behalf of the Company are involved in the processes of the occupational health and safety system.
The human and financial resources are provided to maintain and continuously improve the
occupational health and safety system.
The Company continuously invests in employee training and development courses to improve their
competencies and understanding in the field of occupational health and safety. In 2022 trainings were
organized both at the Company and educational institutions. Total number of trained employees and
managers was 243 in 2022. The employees participated in the following trainings:
- workers performing activities at height,
- load handler,
- locksmiths fitters of lifting equipment,
- operators of lifting platforms and their equipment,
- OHS specialists,
- site OHS coordinators,
- first aid.
Employees are motivated not only by material incentives, such as competitive wages and salaries,
progressive bonus system, but also by exceptional quality of working environment. The Company
and the Group provides social guarantees: the allowance is paid in the event of the death of a family
member or immediate family of the employee, in case of an employee’s death, a gift to an employee
when a baby is born, on the employees anniversary birthday.
On 6 August 2021, the Works Council for representation of the employees consisting of 9 members
was elected at the Company. The Works Council submits proposals to the employer on economic,
social and work issues, which are topical to the employees, employer’s decisions, laws and other
regulations governing work relations. The Council is elected for the period of three years, which
starts from the beginning of their term of office.
Human Rights
The Group advocates equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of the employee's gender. The
majority of the Group's employees, 85% (83% of the Company), are men. This is greatly influenced
by specifics of the activity performed, i. e. women are less likely to choose the technological work
performed in construction as well as specialties in construction and technical engineering directly
related to such work and outdoor conditions.
The Company and the Group adhere to the principles for the protection of human rights and do not
tolerate any violations of human rights in their activities. They are for the fair and transparent wage
and salary policy, comply with the laws regulating overtime and working hours, respect the right of
employees to rest and do not tolerate harassment and violence of any nature.
The Company opposes any discrimination and forced labour. Employees of the Company have equal
rights and possibilities regardless their gender, nationality, social or family status, membership in
public or political organisations or personal qualities. In 2020, there were no violations of human
rights or relevant claims recorded.

Overview of the alignment with the EU Taxonomy Regulation
The Taxonomy (Taxonomy regulation, 2020/852) of the European Union (EU) is a classification system for sustainable economic activities designed to direct private
investment to environmentally sustainable activities that contribute to the environmental objectives of the European Green Deal. The Taxonomy regulation sets out
scientific evidence-based criteria for assessing the sustainability of an activity. The activities of those enterprises that fall under the Taxonomy list and meet the
criteria provided can be classified as sustainable and attract green investments.
Taxonomy-eligible economic activity is defined as the activity described in the relevant delegated acts of the Taxonomy regulation, in other words, included in the
Taxonomy. Companies that have determined that their revenue (turnover), capital expenditure (CapEx) and / or operating costs (OpEx) are related to activities
described in the delegated acts must analyse and disclose to what extent their activities meet Taxonomy criteria on these indicators.
In this report, in accordance with the provisions of the Taxonomy regulation and related delegated acts, we provide the main performance indicators and information
on the alignment of Taxonomy-eligible activities with the criteria. For information comparison, we provide data for both 2022 and 2021.
Assessment of revenue in accordance with Taxonomy
After the analysis, we found that Panevezio statybos trestas AB receives part of its revenue from Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. The Company's main
economic activity - construction - is also Taxonomy-eligible; in Taxonomy corresponding to 7.1. Construction of new buildings. Construction economic activity
accounts for the largest share of the Company's revenue, which amounted to 74.71% in 2022, and 70.89% in 2021. Other activities of the Company that are considered
Taxonomy-eligible are listed under Taxonomy as 7.7. Acquisition and ownership of buildings and 7.2. Renovation of existing buildings. The share of revenue
generated from these additional activities totaled 2.36% in 2022 and 10.57% in 2021.
The following tables show detailed results of assessing Taxonomy-eligible activities according to technical screening criteria. Technical screening criteria assess
whether an activity meets Taxonomy requirements and can be designated as sustainable regarding environmental impact. Activities are primarily assessed based on
criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation. In addition, it is assessed whether they do no significant harm (DNSH) for other
environmental goals.
During the technical screening, we found that the Company's current activities only meet some Taxonomy criteria. For example, the main activity of the Company 7.1.
Construction of new buildings is subject to quite challenging climate change mitigation criteria: new buildings must meet even higher requirements than are currently
applied to buildings of the highest energy performance class A++, which are almost energy-free. Nevertheless, we plan to look for ways to meet the Taxonomy criteria
as much as possible.

Assessment of capital expenditure (CapEx) in accordance with Taxonomy
The EU taxonomy defines capital expenditure as all additions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial year considered before depreciation, amortisation
and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, for the relevant financial year and excluding fair value changes. Also included
are additions to tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations.
In 2022, the Company incurred capital expenditures to improve the investment property (building) and purchase vehicles related to Taxonomy-eligible activities: 7.7.
Acquisition and ownership of buildings; 6.5. Transportation by motorcycles, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. In 2021, in addition to the same mentioned
activities, a new 150 kW solar power plant was acquired and put into operation in the group company Skydmedis UAB, which is related to one of the individual
measures described in the Taxonomy: 7.6. Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies.
In the following tables, we provide detailed results of the analysis of the capital expenditure (Taxonomy CapEx) to Taxonomy-eligible activities according to the
technical screening criteria. In 2021 and 2022, Taxonomy-eligible investments only met some Taxonomy criteria.

Assessment of operating costs (OpEx) in accordance with Taxonomy
Operating costs (OpEx) are defined in the Taxonomy regulation as direct non-capitalised costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures,
short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the
undertaking or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets.
The accounting system currently used by the Company is not adapted to exclude data according to the definition of Taxonomy OpEx, so collecting and disclosing the
information required under the regulation in this report would have been complicated. In 2023, we plan to better prepare and provide at least the most significant data
for this indicator in next year's report.
