2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all the years presented.
2.1 Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted by the EU.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for buildings measured at revalued
amounts and derivative financial instruments measured at fair value.
Adoption of new and/or amended IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
interpretations
Compared to the previous financial year, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous
financial year, except for the following new/amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group/Company as of 1
January 2021:
In 2021, the Group and the Company consistently applied the accounting policy to all the periods presented in these
financial statements.
The following are the guidelines effective as of 1 January 2021. The implemented guidelines did not affect preparation
of the Company’s and the Group’s financial statements for 2021:
− Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases-related to CΟVID-19;
− Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, IAS 16).
New standards and interpretations of IFRS that have not been applied yet
Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that will be approved for subsequent periods of
the financial statements have been issued or are not yet applicable in the European Union. Such standards were not
applied in preparing these financial statements. Early application of these standards is not intended by the Company and
the Group.
It is believed that the following revised standards will not have material impact on the Company’s and the Group’s financial
statements:
− Onerous Contracts — Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37)
The amendments specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of
assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2022. The amendments apply for contracts which are effective as at the initial application date of these
amendments. As at the date of initial application, the overall impact of the amendments is recognised as an adjustment
of retained earnings (losses) or other appropriate equity components at the beginning of the period. Comparative
information is not recalculated. The Group has identified that all contracts valid as at 31 December 2021 will be
implemented before the effective date of the amendments.
− Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)
The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption (IRE) so that it does not apply to transactions that
give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences, e. g. lease and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments are
effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Deferred tax asset and liabilities of lease and
decommissioning liabilities will need to be recognised from the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented,
with any cumulative effect recognised as an adjustment to retained earnings or other components of equity at that date.
For all other transactions, the adjustments apply to transactions that occur after the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
The amendments will not affect the retained earnings.
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020;
− Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16);

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless otherwise stated)
12
− Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements related to classification of liabilities as current or
non-current;
− IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (not yet endorsed by EU);
− Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2);
− Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3);
− Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8).
Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards
The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on 29 March 2018. The Conceptual
Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in
developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the
standards. IASB also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual
Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to
the revised Conceptual Framework. Its objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for
companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a
particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective
for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
IFRS 3: Business Combinations (Amendments)
IASB issued amendments in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that
arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The Amendments are effective
for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1
January 2020, and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period. The implementation of these
Amendments did not have significant impact on the financial statements of Group/Company.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors: Definition of ‘Material’ (Amendments)
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020 with earlier application permitted.
The Amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied. The new definition states that, ’Information
is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary
users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial
information about a specific reporting entity’. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been
improved. The Amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. The
implementation of these Amendments did not have significant impact on the financial statements of Group/Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (Amendments)
In September 2019, IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, which concludes phase one of its work to
respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. The amendments published, deal
with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with
an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which require forward-looking analysis.
The amendments provided temporary relief, applicable to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest
rate benchmark reform, which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the
replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate. There are also
amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising
from the interest rate benchmark reform. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. Phase two will focus on issues that could affect financial reporting
when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). The implementation of this
interpretation did not have significant impact on the financial statements of Group/Company.
IFRS 16 Leases-CΟVID-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment)
The amendment applies, retrospectively, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier
application is permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorised for issue at 28 May 2020. IASB amended the
standard to provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent
concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment provides a practical expedient
for the lessee to account for any change in lease payments resulting from the COVID-19 related rent concession the
same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change was not a lease modification, only if all of the
following conditions are met:
• The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as,
or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change.
• Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021.
• There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
The management applied this amendment and the practical expedient provided for therein earlier, i.e. from 1 January
2020, since the Company received COVID-19 related rent concessions and accounted these as negative variable lease
payments through profit or loss.
Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted
Amendment to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments)
The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28,
in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main
consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether
it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not
constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015, IASB postponed the effective
date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The
amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group and the Company do not have any associates or joint
ventures.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments)
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2022 with earlier application
permitted. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IASB has deferred the effective date by one year, i.e.
1 January 2023, to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the
amendments. 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. These
Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the
implementation of these amendments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)
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)
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier application permitted.
The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments)
On 27 August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39,
IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary
reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative
nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for
changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective
interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs
from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable
requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. Furthermore, the amendments to
IFRS 4 are designed to allow insurers who are still applying IAS 39 to obtain the same reliefs as those provided by the
amendments made to IFRS 9. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users
of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity’s financial instruments and
risk management strategy. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021 with
earlier application permitted. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The
management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
IFRS 16 Leases-CΟVID-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment)
In February 2021 the IASB issued a proposal to extend the relief period by another year, i.e. to apply the practical
expedient on rent concessions to a change in lease payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 from 30 June
2021. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021 with earlier application permitted.
The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. 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):
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application 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 Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact
of the implementation of these amendments.

IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates
(Amendments):
The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 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 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 have not yet been endorsed by the
EU. The management has not yet evaluated the impact of the implementation of these amendments.
2.2 Consolidation and Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate
of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date and the amount of any non-controlling interest in
the acquire, if any. 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. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included
in administrative expenses.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, at the acquisition date, the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity
interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date in the statement of comprehensive income. Any
contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent
changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in
accordance with IFRS 9 in profit or loss. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until
it is finally settled within equity.
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 the statement of comprehensive income.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses and is assessed for impairment at
each reporting date
2.3 Segment Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the Group’s internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of
the operating segments, has been identified as the Board that makes strategic decisions.
2.4 Foreign currencies
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which each entity operates (hereinafter “the functional currency”). These financial statements are presented in
euro (EUR), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s and the Company’s presentational currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are converted based on their respective functional currency spot rates at the date the
transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange
at the reporting date.

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless otherwise stated)
16
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.4 Foreign currencies (continued)
Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in profit or loss with the exception of monetary
items that are designated as the Group’s net investment in a foreign subsidiary. These are recognised in other comprehensive
income. On disposal of a foreign subsidiary, the cumulative amount of the translation differences recognised in other
comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items
are also recognised in other comprehensive income.
(c) Group companies
The functional currency of the Group Companies is EUR, except for subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija, which operates in Ukraine and its
functional currency is UAH (Ukrainian hryvnia).
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentational currency
are translated into the presentational currency as follows:
(i) assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that
statement of financial position;
(ii) income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this
average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case
income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of transactions);
(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
operation and translated at the closing rate.
When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income
are reclassified to profit and loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.
2.5 Derivatives
The Group and the Company engage in swap contracts for interest rate risk management purposes. Derivatives are initially
recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition and measurement, outstanding swaps are carried in the statement of financial
position at the fair value. Fair value is derived from using the discounted cash flow method which is based on directly observable
inputs (level 2 in fair value hierarchy). The estimated fair values of these contracts are reported on a gross basis as financial
assets for instruments having a positive fair value, and financial liabilities for instruments with a negative fair value.
Gain or loss from changes in the fair value of outstanding forward contracts, swaps and other financial instruments, which are not
classified as hedging instruments, are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as they arise.
2.6 Hedge Accounting
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified into two categories:
(a) fair value hedges which hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; and
(b) cash flow hedges which hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with
a recognised asset or liability or a forecasted transaction.
The Group and the Company use cash flow hedge.
In relation to cash flow hedges, which meet the conditions for hedge accounting, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging
instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised initially in other comprehensive income and the ineffective
portion is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as profit or loss.
The gains or losses on effective cash flow hedges recognised initially in equity are either transferred to profit or loss in the period
in which the hedged transaction impacts the statement of comprehensive income or included in the initial measurement of the
cost of the related asset or liability.
For hedges, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the hedging
instrument are taken directly to the statement of comprehensive income (profit or loss) for the period.

17
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.6 Hedge Accounting (continued)
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated, exercised, or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting. At that point in time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity remains in
equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. Where the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative
gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
The Group and the Company have entered into interest swap agreement with a purpose to hedge itself against a possible
fluctuation (increase) of EURIBOR on the loan taken from a bank and with this action fixed the payable interest rate (Note 16).
These hedged items are subject to a single risk component, thus the Company hedged an item in its entirety, not splitting into
different components.
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the terms of the interest rate swap
match the terms of the fixed rate loan (i.e., notional amount, maturity, payment and reset dates). The Company and Group has
established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risks are identical to the hedged risk component.
To test the hedge effectiveness, the Company and Group uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in
the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:
• Differences in timing of cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument;
• The counterparties’ credit risk differently impacting the fair value movements of the hedging instrument and hedged item;
• Changes to the forecasted amount of cash flows of hedged items and hedging instruments.
2.7 Intangible assets
(a) Goodwill
After initial recognition (Note 2.2), goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is included in
intangible assets in the statement of financial position. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment (Note 2.10). Gains and losses
arising from the disposal of a business include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the business sold.
(b) Computer software
Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use a specific
software and are further carried at acquisition cost, less subsequent accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Computer
software is amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (3 to 5 years).
2.8 Property, Plant and Equipment
Buildings are stated at revalued amounts less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
A building revaluation surplus is recorded in OCI and credited to the asset revaluation surplus in equity. However, to the extent
that it reverses a revaluation deficit of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, the increase is recognised in profit
and loss. A revaluation deficit is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it offsets an
existing surplus on the same asset recognised in the asset revaluation surplus. An annual transfer from the asset revaluation
surplus to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset
and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost. Valuations are performed on a regular basis to ensure that the fair value of a
revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. 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, any revaluation surplus relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.
Other property, plant and equipment are carried at acquisition cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes
and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the Group and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to general and administrative expenses during the
financial period in which they are incurred.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.8 Property, plant and equipment (continued)
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values
over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings 10 to 80 years
Structures 15 to 25 years
Vehicles 4 to 7 years
Machinery 5 to 15 years
Other property, plant and equipment 2 to 20 years
Land is not depreciated.
The assets’ residual values, depreciation method and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date, ensuring that they are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items in property,
plant and equipment.
Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount (Note 2.10). Impairment of property, plant and equipment as well as reversals of impairment during the year
are included into operating expenses in the profit and loss.
Borrowing costs incurred in relation to acquisition of qualifying property, plant and equipment are capitalised. Other borrowing
costs are recognised as finance costs as incurred.
Construction in progress is transferred to appropriate groups of property, plant and equipment when it is completed and available
for its intended use.
When property is written-off or otherwise disposed, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the financial statements
and any related gains or losses are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.
2.9 Investment property
Property held for long-term rental yields and (or) capital appreciation and which is not occupied by the Company and the Group
is classified as investment property. Investment property comprises freehold land and buildings.
Investment property is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are
included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to general and administrative expenses during the financial period in which
they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Buildings are depreciated over their expected useful life (40 to 70 years) using the straight-line method
by writing-off the cost of each asset to its residual value. Depreciation of investment property is recognised in other operating
expenses.
When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount (Note 2.10). Impairment of investment property as well as reversals for the year are included in operating
expenses.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are included into operating
profit.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.10 Impairment of non-financial asset
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to
amortisation and depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash
flows (cash-generating units). Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation
is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business
combination in which the goodwill arose.
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each
financial statement date. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
2.11 Financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 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.
i) Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other
comprehensive income (OCI), and 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/Company’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a
significant financing component, the Group/Company 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 contain a significant financing
component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income
OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)” on the principal amount
outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
The Group’s/Company’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group/Company manages its financial
assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual
cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.
A regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group/Company
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.11. Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, the Group/Company measures a financial asset at:
(a) Amortised cost (debt instruments)
(b) Fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (debt
instruments). The Group/Company did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020.
(c) Fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition
(equity instruments). The Group/Company did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020.
(d) Fair value through profit or loss (Note 2.5).
Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)
The Group/Company 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) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to
impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised,
modified or impaired.
The Group’s/Company’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables, loans
granted.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial
recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial
assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives,
including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging
instruments (under IFRS 9). Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified
and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt
instruments to be classified at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), as described above,
debt instruments may be designated at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly
reduces, an accounting mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial
position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss (Note 2.5).
Impairment of financial asset
Under IFRS 9, the Group/Company 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/Company expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original
effective interest rate.
(a) Impairment of trade receivables
For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group/Company applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
Group/Company does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date. The Group/Company 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. The Group/Company considers a
financial asset in default when contractual payments are past due or when indications exist that the debtors or a group of debtors
are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will
enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. A financial asset is
written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.11 Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
(a) Impairment of trade receivables (continued)
The Company/Group is also making allowances on individual assessment basis for certain debtors.
(b) Assessment of impairment of loans granted
The Company grants loans to the entities of the Group with a fixed maturity as it is disclosed in Note 4. Upon issuing a loan,
expected credit losses for 12 months are generally assessed and accounted. In subsequent reporting periods, when there is no
significant increase in credit loss risk related to the lessee, the Company modifies the balance of expected credit losses for 12
months with regard to the remaining debt amount that is not yet repaid at the assessment date. If a lessee’s financial position
significantly deteriorates in comparison to the position upon issuing of the loan, the Company accounts all expected credit losses
that fall within maturity term. Loans with estimated credit losses within maturity term are considered as credit-impaired financial
assets.
ii) Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s/Company’s
financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, lease liabilities and
derivatives.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated
upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred
for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivatives entered into by the Company that are
not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also
classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains and losses arising from financial
liabilities held for trading are recognised in profit or loss.
Loans and other payables
After initial recognition, loans, borrowings and other payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method.
Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, when the liabilities are derecognised as well as
through the amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.11 Financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
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/Company’s statement of financial position) when:
i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
ii) the Group/Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from financial asset; or has undertaken a liability to
pay all received cash flows to a third party based on contract of disposal without significant overdue and (a) the
Group/Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group/Company has
neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
asset.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing
financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability
are substantially modified, such an replacement or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
2.12 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related indirect
production overheads (based on normal operating capacity), but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. Unrealised inventory is fully
written-off. Impairment of obsolete inventories is assessed in accordance with the rates approved by management for individual
inventory groups, calculated on the basis of historical information.
2.13 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at nominal value.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash at banks, deposits on
demand with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.14 Share capital
(a) Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares are stated at their par value.
(b) Treasury shares
Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company’s equity share capital, the consideration paid, including any
attributed incremental external costs, is deducted from shareholders’ equity as treasury shares until they are sold, reissued, or
cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the sale, issuance, or cancellation of treasury shares. Where such
shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received is presented in the consolidated financial statements as a
change in shareholders’ equity.
2.15 Reserves
(a) Legal reserve
A legal reserve is a compulsory reserve under the Lithuanian legislation. Annual transfers of 5% of net result are required until
the reserve reaches 10 per cent of issued capital. The legal reserve cannot be used for payment of dividends and it is
established to cover future losses only.
(b) Revaluation reserve
A revaluation reserve is recorded in other comprehensive income and credited to the asset revaluation reserve in equity. However,
when new revalued amount is higher than net book value previously recognised impairment for the asset accounted in statement
of comprehensive income as loss, the increase in value of revalued amount which not exceed recognised impairment is recognised
in statement of comprehensive income as profit. If a revaluation surplus still exists after the reversal of an impairment loss, it is
recognised in comprehensive income as other comprehensive income (and, accordingly, in equity in the statement of financial
position).
A revaluation deficit is recognised in the statement of profit comprehensive income, except to the extent that it offsets an existing
surplus on the same asset recognised in the consolidated financial statement as a change in equity. Upon disposal or write-off of
an asset carried at revalued amount, the related revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings in the statement of changes
in equity.
Revaluation reserve in foreign currency in the consolidated financial statements is converted based on their respective functional
currency spot rates at the date of revaluation. Revaluation reserve in foreign currency is not translated at the closing rate at the
date of that statement of financial position.
(c) Reserve for acquisition of own shares
This reserve is created based on the decision of the shareholders for the acquisition of own shares.
(d) Foreign currency translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used for exchange differences arising on consolidation of financial statements of foreign
subsidiaries. Exchange differences are classified as equity in the consolidated financial statements until disposal of the investment.
Upon disposal of the corresponding assets, the accumulated amount of foreign currency translation reserve is recognised as
income or expenses in the same period when the gain or loss of disposal is recognised.
(e) Cash flow hedge reserve
This reserve represents the effective part of the change in fair value of derivatives (interest rate swaps), used by the Group and
the Company to secure the cash flows from interest rate risk, at the reporting date. The reserve is accounted for based on the
requirements of IFRS 9 (Note 3.1).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.16 Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables are non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Such liabilities are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income when trade liabilities are written-off or amortised.
2.17 Borrowing Costs
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, construction production or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective
assets. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.
2.18 Income tax
(a) Current income tax
The Group companies are taxed individually irrespective of the overall results of the Group.
Income tax expenses reported in these financial statements is based on the calculation made by the management in accordance
with tax legislation of the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Ukraine.
Profit for the year 2021 of the Group companies that operate in Lithuania is taxable at a rate of 15% (2020: 15%), corporate
income tax rate in Ukraine is 18% (2020: 18%).
In accordance with tax legislation of the Republic of Lithuania, taxable losses, except for losses related to transfer of securities
and (or) financial instruments may be carried forward for an unlimited period. As from 1 January 2014, tax loss carry forward that
is deducted cannot exceed 70% of the taxable profit of the current financial year.
The losses from disposal of securities and (or) derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and
only be used to reduce taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.
Investment incentive can be carried forward for 5 years.
In accordance with tax legislation of the Republic of Ukraine, as from 1 January 2012, tax loss carry forward that is deducted
cannot exceed 25% of the taxable profit of the current financial year.
(b) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it
arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the
transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have
been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the
temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries except where the timing of the reversal
of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.19 Lease
A. THE COMPANY/GROUP IS A LESSEE
The Company/Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company/Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets. The Company/Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets
representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Company/Group recognises 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 lease liabilities
recognised, 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:
Premises
5–6 years
Land
25–99 years
Vehicles
4–7 years
Other property, plant and equipment
4–6 years
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Company and the Group or the price of the right-of-use assets 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. Refer to the accounting policies in Note 2.10 “Impairment of non-financial
assets”.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company/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 Company/Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the
Company/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 Company/Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the
amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the estimates of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition,
the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease
payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments)
or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company and 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). It also applies the
lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment. 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.

2.19 Lease (continued)
B. THE COMPANY/GROUP IS A LESSOR
At inception of a contract, the Company and the Group, as a lessor, determine whether the lease is a finance lease or an operating
lease. If the Company and the Group determine that the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of
the underlying asset, the lease is a finance lease. Leases in which the Company and the Group do not transfer substantially all
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. The Company and the Group have
not entered into any finance leases as a lessor. Operating lease payments are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the
lease term and recognised as revenue in the statement of comprehensive income based on its lease nature. Initial direct costs
incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised
over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent payments are recognised as revenue in the period in which
they are earned.
The accounting policies applied by the Group as a lessor in the comparative period were not different from IFRS 16.
2.20 Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
The main activity of the Company and the Group is production of knitted articles and working clothes upon particular customers’
order. The service includes the full process of production from making yarns to preparation of fully finished production. Revenue
from contracts with customers is only recognised when the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer to the extent
that reflects the remuneration which the Group and the Company expects to receive in return for these goods or services.
As it is disclosed in the Note 5, the Company and the Group in their activities generate revenue from sales of goods with their
brand and from other commercial activities. This type of revenue, in comparison with knitted article production under particular
customers’ order, is relatively insignificant. This type of revenue is recognised when the control over goods is transferred to the
customer (conditions of goods collection are agreed differently with separate customers) and the goods are transferred at a
particular time. Payment terms vary from 2 to 45 days.
Knitted article and working clothes production under particular customers’ order
The main performance obligation arising from contracts with customers is to provide knitted article production defined in technical
specifications (knitting, dying, decorating, sewing, and cutting) service with a fixed price set for each produced (finished) knitted
article separately.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised over the period in which the services are rendered. The company provides
its products to customers only fully finished. The Company and the Group allocate the transaction price over the product production
period based on the relative selling prices of the individual production levels.
The Company has performed an analysis and evaluated that the Company and the Group fulfils their performance obligation
described in contracts with customers over a period of time (not at point in time) due to the following reasons:
- The Company and the Group do not create an alternatively usable asset while providing article production services;
- The Company and the Group have an enforceable right to payment for work in progress.
Management calculates its share of revenue based on the expected costs plus margin. Based on management and production
accounting data, the production fulfilment status of a particular order is deducted at each stage of production (calculating what
proportion of the expected product cost at which stage of production is reached accordingly). The calculations shall be completed
by adding the applicable margin to the estimated relative levels of work-in-progress at different stages of production. Thus, the
calculated revenue is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under the caption “Revenue from contracts with
customers” and contract assets are accounted in the current assets in the statement of financial position under the caption
“Contract asset”. Costs related to this revenue amount are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income under the caption
“Cost of sale”.

(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless otherwise stated)
27
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
2.20 Revenue recognition (continued)
In preparation of financial statements according to IFRS and applying IFRS 15, the Company’s and the Group’s management has
to apply particular assumptions and estimates that have significant impact on amounts presented in financial statements.
According to the management, the most significant estimates and associated uncertainties arising while calculating and
recognising revenue from contracts with costumers relate to:
- The estimated product margin (percentage);
- Application of historical management and production accounting data in calculating value ratios, related to each stage of
production.
Aside from aforementioned, the management considered the impact of other matters on revenue recognition, such as the
existence of significant financing components, non-cash considerations, discounts applied, etc. None of these terms appear in
the Company’s and the Group’s contracts with customers or, in the judgement of management, they are not significant in
application of IFRS 15.
Revenue from sales of goods to a group of customers for which supply contracts contain clauses allowing alternative uses are
recognised when the control over goods is transferred to the customer and the revenue is recognised in the same way as from
the sale of their branded goods.
Contract assets: Accrued income
Contract assets are conditional rights to consideration. The right is conditional, for example, when the Company / Group must first
satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. If the Company / Group
has an unconditional right to receive consideration from the customer, the contract asset is accounted for as a receivable and
presented separately from other contract assets.
If the Company and the Group transfer goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment
is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional as the order is not completed. Contract
assets – accrued revenue – at the end of production cycle (usually within 60 days) after fulfilling contractual obligations and issuing
an invoice, is accounted as trade receivable.
Contract liabilities: Prepayments received
Contract liabilities consist of prepayments received from customers for services to be rendered or goods to be sold in the future.
Trade receivables
A trade receivable represents the Company’s and 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). Trade receivables usually have a set payment delay
term of 10–60 days.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the
Company or the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted
at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income
on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
Rental income
Payments received under operating leases (net of any incentives given to the lessee) are credited to profit and loss on a straight-
line basis over the period of the lease (Note 2.19).

2.21 Dividend Distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Company’s and the Group’s financial
statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
2.22 Earnings (Losses) per Share
The Group presents basic (EPS) and diluted earnings per share (DEPS) 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 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.
2.23 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than
through its continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for
immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets once classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.
2.24 Subsequent Events
Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Group’s and the Company’s position at the reporting date
(adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the
notes when material.
2.25 Current versus Non-Current Classification
The Group and the Company present assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current
classification. An asset is current when it is:
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading
• Expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period
Or
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the
reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading
• It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
The Group and the Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-
current assets and liabilities.

2.26 Employee Benefits
(a) Social security contributions
The Company and the Group pay social security contributions to the state Social Security Fund (hereinafter the “Fund”) on behalf
of its employees based on the defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution
plan is a plan under which the Company and the Group pays fixed contributions and will have no legal or constructive obligations
to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay benefits to all employees related to employee service
in the current and prior period. Social security contributions are recognised as expenses on an accrual basis and are included in
staff costs.
(b) Bonus plans
The Company and the Group recognises a liability and expenses for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there was a
practice applied in the past that has created a constructive obligation.
(c) Non-current employee benefits
According to the requirements of the Labour Code of the Republic of Lithuania, each employee leaving the Company at the age
of retirement is entitled to a one-off payment amounting to two-month salary.
Current year cost of employee benefits is recognised as incurred in the statement of comprehensive income. Previously incurred
service costs are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
Any gains or losses appearing as a result of changes in terms of benefits (curtailment or settlement) are recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
The above mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit
method. Remeasurements, consisting of actuarial gains and losses, are recognised immediately in the statement of financial
position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through other comprehensive income in the period in which they
occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
Obligation is recognised in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of these benefits on the 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.
2.27 Government grants
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions
will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income (as a reduction of related costs) on
a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant
relates to an asset, it is recognised as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
The balance of grant not yet received is shown in the statements of financial position caption “Other current assets”.
2.28 Offsetting and comparative figures
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, as well as revenue and expenses are not set off, except for the
cases when certain International Financial Reporting Standard specifically requires such set-off.
Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to agree with the current year's presentation of information.

3. Financial risk management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s and the Company’s activities expose them to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and cash
flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s and the Company’s overall risk management programme focuses
on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of the financial performance of the
Group and the Company. Risk management is carried out by the Group‘s management.

3 Financial Risk Management (continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
(a) Market risk
(i) Monetary assets and monetary liabilities foreign exchange risk
The Group and the Company operate internationally and carry out significant part of their transactions in euros. Therefore, the
management believes that entities operating in Lithuania are not exposed to significant currency exchange risk.
The Ukrainian subsidiary had a foreign exchange profit on the loans received and long-term payables to the Company amounting
to EUR 201 thousand in 2021 (in 2020, the subsidiary had a foreign exchange loss amounting to EUR 1,167 thousand) due to
fluctuations in the official exchange rate of Ukrainian gryvnia (UAH) to EUR set by the National Bank of Ukraine. As from 2014,
due to the geopolitical situation in Ukraine and significant drop in the value of UAH against EUR, the management of the Group
and the Company re designated of loans granted and long term receivables from the subsidiary Mrija PAT MTF to net investment,
considering that the repayment of these amounts is not expected in the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, gains (losses) arising from foreign exchange related to the monetary items considered to be part of net investment
into foreign operation are accounted in Group’s consolidated financial statements through other comprehensive income (loss) in
2021 and 2020. Amount of monetary items attributed to net investment amounts to EUR 1,385 million and foreign currency
exchange difference related to this amount for the year 2021 comprises EUR 208 thousand (EUR 951 thousand in 2020), is
accounted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements through other comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income (loss) from foreign currency translation included in the consolidated statement of changes in
equity in other comprehensive income attributable to the equity holders of the Company:

Other comprehensive income (loss) from foreign currency translation included in other comprehensive income attributable to non-
controlling interests was not material.
Company’s business transactions mainly are denominated in euro, therefore, the Company is not exposed to significant foreign
exchange risk. In the Group the UAH exchange risk is related to intercompany balances in different currencies. The following table
demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in UAH exchange rate related to EUR, with all other variables held
constant.

3 Financial Risk Management (continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
(ii) Cash flow interest rate risk
Borrowings with variable interest rates expose the Company and the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. In 2021 and 2020, the
Company’s and the Group’s borrowings with variable interest rates were denominated in EUR.
The Group and the Company analyse their interest rate exposure on an annual basis. The Group and the Company calculates
the impact on profit or loss by multiplying year-end balances of interest-bearing loans granted and borrowings by the estimated
interest rate change. Except for the current year’s profit (loss), there is no impact on the equity of the Group and the Company.
Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, the impact of a 0.5% increase/decrease in interest rates on the Company’s and the
Group’s net result would be an increase/decrease at maximum of EUR 13 thousand and EUR 19 thousand respectively (in 2020:
EUR 12 thousand and EUR 14 thousand, respectively), mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expenses/income on borrowings
and loans granted.
(b) Credit risk
None of the Group’s and the Company’s customers comprise more than 10% of the Group’s and Company’s trade receivables.
The Group and the Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low because its customers
are located in several industries and operate in largely independent markets.
(i) Maximum exposure to credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash balances at bank, loans granted, trade receivables and contract assets.
The table below summarises all credit risk exposures related to the items of the Group’s and the Company’s statements of financial
position. Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit risk reduction:

Impairment analysis is performed at each balance sheet date based on provision matrix and individual assessment in order to
evaluate expected credit losses. Provision rates are assessed based on the number of days past due payment, grouping
customers based on similar previous credit loss risk experience. Calculations reflect the possibility to calculate the amount, time

3.1 Financial risk factors (continued)
Impairment of loans granted and trade receivables evaluated based on the accounting policy as disclosed in Note 2.11, is
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
(c) Liquidity risk
The Group’s and the Company’s policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit lines to meet its commitments at a given date in accordance with its strategic plans.
As at 31 December 2021, the Group’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by EUR 1,917 thousand (as at 31 December
2020, current assets exceeded current liabilities by EUR 3,344 thousand). As at 31 December 2021, the Group’s liquidity (current
assets/current liabilities) and quick ratios ((current assets - inventory)/current liabilities) were 1.19 and 0.50, respectively (as at 31
December 2020, 1.37 and 0.77, respectively). As at 31 December 2021, the Company’s (Utenos Trikotažas AB) current assets
exceeded its current liabilities by EUR 1,670 thousand (as at 31 December 2020: by EUR 3,089 thousand). As at 31 December
2021, the Company’s liquidity (current assets/current liabilities) and quick ratios ((current assets - inventory)/current liabilities)
were 1.18 and 0.45, respectively (as at 31 December 2020: 1.37 and 0.73, respectively).
The table below summarises the Group’s and the Company’s undiscounted financial liabilities. The financial liabilities are classified
into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date.
Fair value of accounts payable and other financial liabilities due within 3 months or less are equal to their carrying balances as
the impact of discounting is insignificant.

The Group’s and the Company’s objectives when managing capital are to ensure the Group’s and the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain
an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and
Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell
assets to reduce debt.
The Group and the Company defines its capital as equity and borrowings, including lease, less cash and cash equivalents. As
at 31 December, the Group’s and the Company’s capital structure was as follows:

Utenos Trikotažas AB
Under the Lithuanian Republic Law on Companies, the authorised share capital of a public company must be not less than
EUR 40 thousand (EUR 2.5 thousand for a private limited liability company) and the shareholders’ equity should not be lower
than 50% of the company’s registered share capital. As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries
registered in Lithuania complied with these requirements.
Mrija PAT MTF
As at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the shareholders’ equity of the subsidiary registered in Ukraine was negative.
Pursuant to the Ukrainian laws, a company may be put into liquidation when its shareholders’ equity becomes less than the
minimal amount of authorised share capital as defined in the Law on Companies at the moment of the company’s registration. On
the date of these financial statements, there were no decisions made or actions taken concerning PAT MTF Mrija negative
shareholders’ equity. Taking into the account appropriate financial support to PAT MTF Mrija, the management of the Group
assesses the liquidation risk as low.

3 Financial Risk Management (continued)
3.3 Fair value of 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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the
asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group and the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the
asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits
by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest
and best use.
The Group and the Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable
inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair
value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or
indirectly observable;
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group and the Company
determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Valuations are performed by the Group’s and the Company’s management at each reporting date. For the purpose of fair value
disclosures, the Group and the Company have determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and risks of asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless otherwise stated)
39
3.3 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities (continued)
The fair value of receivables from subsidiaries and loans granted to the subsidiary by the Company is estimated as described in
Note 4, therefore, the management estimates that their fair value approximates carrying amounts as at 31 December 2021 and
2020 (level 3 in fair value hierarchy). Interest rate on the loans received by the Group and the Company is subject to repricing at
least every six months, therefore, the fair value of loans received equals their carrying amount.
4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Company and the Group make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within.
The estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on the management’s experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The management also makes
certain judgements, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies. Estimates and
judgements that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
include:
Estimates of recoverable amounts of goodwill, investments in subsidiaries, as well as loans to and receivables from
subsidiaries
The Group annually tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.7. The recoverable
amount of cash-generating units has been determined based on the greater of their value in use and its fair value less costs to
sell. Loans granted and accounts receivable are tested for impairment in accordance with the accounting principles described in
Note 2.11. These calculations require the use of significant estimates as outlined below.
Valuation of investment in the subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija, including loan granted and amounts receivable, in the
Company’s separate financial statements, as well as valuation of non-current assets in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements
As at 31 December 2021, the Company’s investment in PAT MTF Mrija, including loan granted and amounts receivable, amounted
to EUR 4,850 thousand before impairment allowance and to EUR 1,875 thousand after impairment allowance, and, respectively,
EUR 4,897 thousand and EUR 1,922 thousand as at 31 December 2020. In 2021, additional impairment of EUR 150 thousand
was recognised. The impairment is accounted for in the Company’s statement of comprehensive income under financial expenses
(Note 22).
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, goodwill which is related to PAT MTF Mrija and accounted in consolidated financial statements
amounted to EUR 0 thousand.
At the Group’s consolidated financial statement and Utenos Trikotažas separate financial statement level, cash generating unit,
related to the subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija is comprised of the entity’s property, plant and equipment, goodwill and working capital.
As at 31 December 2021, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was determined based on the fair value, less costs
of disposal, which is considered by the management to be the higher of the value in use and fair value less the costs of disposal.
The following significant assumptions were used for the assessment of the value:
Value in use
In 2021, the management did not carry out an estimate of the value in use of the cash generating unit in accordance with IAS 36,
Impairment of Assets, whereas based on the experience of previous years and taking into account the current year’s results of
PAT MTF Mrija management reasonably believes that this value is less than fair value less cost of disposal.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
(All amounts are in EUR thousand, unless otherwise stated)
40
4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Fair value less cost of disposal
The fair value of the cash generating unit was estimated based on the net asset value of PAT MTF Mrija less the estimated costs
of disposal.
The major part (95%) of the assets of PAT MTF Mrija (other than right-of-use assets and unrecognised deferred tax assets arising
from tax loss) consists of real estate (buildings) located in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. As disclosed in Note 7, the fair
value of these assets was determined as part of revaluation of buildings of the Company and the Group in October and November
2018 and is based on valuations performed by certified appraiser Aleksandr Tidir. In order to assess possible changes in the fair
value of buildings until 31 December 2020, the management of the Group commissioned the reassessment of the fair value of
these assets carried out by an independent property appraiser, who identified the fair values of these assets on 6 November 2020.
Considering that by the end of 2020 no significant changes have occurred in the real estate market in the Transcarpathian region
of Ukraine, the fair value of the property approximates its carrying amount, therefore, the values of the buildings of PAT MTF Mrija
identified in 2018 less depreciation for the year approximates to the market values as at 31 December 2020 (no revaluation surplus
was recorded). The fair values of the other components of net assets of PAT MTF Mrija, in the Group’s management opinion,
approximate their carrying amount. Liabilities of PAT MTF Mrija mostly (98%) comprise loans granted by and payables to the
Company (excluding lease liabilities and deferred tax liability).
Based on the above estimate of the recoverable amount of the assets, the management of the Company and the Group did not
identify and recognise in the consolidated financial statements the impairment of the Group’s property, plant and equipment related
to MTF Mrija PAT, nor did it identify and account for in the separate financial statements the reversal of impairment related to
investment in MTF Mrija PAT, which was impaired to zero. Significantly negative net asset position of MTF Mrija PAT (i.e. liabilities
to the Company) would not lead to a reversal of an impairment loss related to the investment, if key assumptions used in the
measurement of fair value change within reasonably possible limits.
The bookkeeping company Grossbuh of asset valuators carried out the market price analysis of property in the area of
Transcarpathia on 20 December 2021. There were no significant changes in the property market in 2021.
The expected credit loss (ECL) model was applied to assess impairment of loans granted and accounts receivables from the
subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija in the separate financial statements of the Company, as provided for in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Because the credit exposure of the subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija has increased significantly since initial recognition (negative balance
in equity), the impairment loss is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the
timing of the default. The probability of default without the Company’s financial support in the near future is considered to be close
to 100%, and the loss given default is close to net assets of PAT MTF Mrija (Including its liabilities to the Company) less costs of
disposal, as this value is negative. Based on this estimate, additional impairment of loans granted and interest receivable from
PAT MTF Mrija (EUR 150 thousand) was recognised in 2020.
Determination of the carrying value of the buildings
Revaluation of buildings is performed periodically (every 5 years, unless there are indications that there are significant differences
in the market of buildings) to ensure that the carrying value of buildings does not significantly differ from fair value at the reporting
date. In 2018, the Group’s and the Company’s management identified indications of impairment of buildings and due to that,
based on the data of October 2018, professional appraisers performed an independent valuation in 2018. In 2021, the Company
and the Group employed independent appraisers to carry out property valuations or an overview of the real estate market, and
did not identify any indications that the carrying values of the property may differ significantly from their fair values.

4. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (continued)
Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – the Company/Group as lessee
The Company/Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by
an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease,
if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Company/Group has few land lease contracts that include extension or/and termination options. The Company/Group applies
judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After
the commencement date, the Company/Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances
that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction
of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset). For more details please see Note 17.
5. Segment information
The Group has two main business segments which are identified based on products type and the entities within the Group
producing them: production of knitted articles (that includes the Company and its subsidiaries PAT MTF Mrija and Aboutwear
UAB) and production of working clothes (that includes subsidiary Šatrija AB).
In assessing operational performance of segments, the Board of the Group takes into account the sales revenue, gross profit,
EBITDA (earnings before financial activity result, tax, depreciation and amortisation), profit (loss) ratios, therefore the report on
the Group’s segments discloses these items in respect of each segment. Inter-segment transactions are eliminated on
consolidation.

The majority of the Group’s sales (54.7%) in 2021 were made to DACH customers (in 2020: 56.6%). In 2021, 15.4% of total
production was sold to Scandinavian customers (in 2020: 10.4%). 18% of the production was sold in the Lithuanian market (in
2020: 22%).
Assets are divided by separate geographical segments and described in Notes 6, 7 and 24.
Impact of COVID-19
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the announcement of quarantine in Lithuania and other markets affected the
performance of the Company and the Group in 2021 and 2020. Due to quarantine restrictions on economic activities in the territory
of the Republic of Lithuania, shops were temporarily closed from 16 March to 20 April and from 16 to 31 December 2020 and from
1 January 2021 to 14 February (until 19 April if there is no separate entrance). There was a decrease in sales of Company’s brand
in physical outlets and sales to wholesale partners; according to the management, the loss of sales amounts to about EUR 560
thousand due to the shutdown of the stores in 2020 and EUR 506 thousand in 2021. The effect was compensated by sales growth
in the e-store and sales of specific products (protective face masks).
Sales of goods ordered decreased by 15% in 2020; however, in 2021 they increased by 20.8%. The management cannot fully
distinguish the impact of COVID-19 for the ordered knitwear segment due to lack of data on different quarantine restrictions in
end-user markets, customers' financial condition before and change in the COVID-19 pandemic, possible influence of other factors
on customer decisions.
The development of sales of ordered products was also hindered by exhibitions which were cancelled or held through e-channels,
restricted possibility to travel for both the Company's sales specialists and the Company's customers in 2020-2021.
Potential risks caused by the COVID 19 on the Company’s performance and going concern identified by the management, which
are still relevant for 2022:
- Disruptions and delays due to morbidity in group companies
- Supply risks, disruptions in movement of goods
- Settlement risk
- Liquidity risk
- Funding risk
- Temporary business suspension in the framework of an epidemic
Operational risk is managed through preventive testing of employees, the principles of organisational organisation have been
changed to minimise the number of employee contacts also. The premises are regularly disinfected and ventilated according to
the recommendations of specialists. The work of administrative staff, with the necessary tools, is organised from home.

The revalued buildings consist of warehouses, factories, shop, administration buildings, etc. The management determined that
these constitute one class of asset under IFRS 13, based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the property.
Fair value of the properties was determined by using the market prices method. This means that valuations performed by the
appraiser are based on active market prices for comparable properties adjusted for difference in the nature, location or condition
of the specific property. As at the date of the last revaluation (October and November 2018) the properties’ fair values were based
on valuations performed by accredited independent appraisers Centro Kubas UAB (Lithuania) and certified appraiser Aleksandr
Tidir (Ukraine). The value of the Group’s and the Company’s assets is based on third level of fair value hierarchy.

tax institution does not perform such coverings.
As at 31 December 2021, the subsidiary PAT MTF Mrija had tax losses carried forward amounting to EUR 1,295 thousand (as at
31 December 2020 – EUR 1,556 thousand) for which it did not recognise deferred tax assets due to uncertainties related to their
realisation. These tax losses may be carried forward for an unlimited term.
25. Earnings per share

In 2021 and 2020, the management of the Group and the Company did not receive any loans, guarantees, any other payments
or property transfers were not made or accrued. Remuneration to management comprise base salary and related social security
costs.
In December 2021, guarantee agreements were signed with OP Corporate Bank and the subsidiaries Šatrija AB and Aboutwear
UAB. Under these agreements, guarantors guarantee to the OP Corporate Bank that Utenos trikotažas AB will fulfil all of its
obligations pursuant to financing contracts.
No guarantees were issued on behalf of related parties as at 31 December 2020.
27. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
As at 31 December 2021 and 2020, the Group and the Company had no material commitments for acquisition of property, plant
and equipment or intangible assets.
From 2003 to 2021, the State Tax Inspectorate did not perform a full tax assessment of the Company and the Group (a partial
Company’s tax assessment was performed in 2017). In accordance with applicable laws, the State Tax Inspectorate can at any
time assess the Company’s accounting archive and registers within 3-5 years before the reporting taxable period and can calculate
additional taxes and sanctions. Analogically, similar risk exists due to the existence of entity PAT MTF Mrija registered in Ukraine
as the local state tax authority has not yet performed a full tax inspection.
The Company’s management is not aware of any circumstances that would cause the company any additional material tax
liabilities.
28. Subsequent events
An amendment to the loan agreement between Utenos trikotažas AB and the subsidiary Aboutwear UAB was signed on 1
February 2022, according to which the maximum amount of the loan was increased from EUR 700 thousand to up to EUR 1,000
thousand.
In 2022, a decision has been adopted to suspend investments into the subsidiary Aboutwear UAB and to search for an alternative
investor therein and, in case an investor is not found, to terminate commercial activity of the company.
In February 2022, there has been a notification received about resignation of the Company’s Board member Vytautas Vaškys
from the position of a Board member of the Company; also, it has been decided to appoint Vytautas Vaškys to hold the position
of the Company’s General Manager instead of Petras Jašinskas since March.

28.Subsequent events (continued)
The Group’s conducts operations in the Ukrainian market through its subsidiary, Mrija PAT MTF, which is providing services to
the Company Utenos trikotažas AB as its main activity and has little external sales. Consequently, the Group is exposed to the
economic and financial markets of Ukraine. In February 2022, following the recognition of self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk
and Lugansk by the Russian Federation and its subsequent invasion of Ukraine, the military conflict escalated and spread to other
regions of that country. The current escalation of the military conflict is likely to have a detrimental impact on the political and
business environment in Ukraine, including on the ability of many entities to continue business as usual. In view of the above, as
at the date these consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue, the situation in Ukraine is extremely volatile and
inherently uncertain. In the wake of the ongoing and dynamic nature of the military operations management concluded that a
reliable estimate of the financial impact cannot be presently made.
However, presented below is the Group’s summarized exposure as at 31 December 2021:
Mrija PAT MTF (exposure in Ukraine to 3rd parties only)
Thousand EUR
PPE
2 219
Inventory
49
Trade and other receivables
1

Trade and other liabilities
80
Sales revenues of Mrija PAT MTF for the year ended 31 December 2021 amounted to EUR 842 thousand, of which direct sales
to Ukrainian customers amounted to EUR 10 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2021. Mrija PAT MTF produced 25.4%
of units produced by the Group in 2021.
Going concern
Taking into account significance of operations in the Ukrainian market before it has been affected by the events as described in
the previous paragraphs, the management of the Company is assessing possibilities to either expand its sub-contraction
operations in local market / to other markets or temporarily decrease the volume of the Company operations.
In management’s view, the Company will have sufficient resources to continue its operations for a period of at least 12 months
from the reporting date. Management concluded that the range of possible outcomes considered at arriving at this judgment does
not give rise to material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management cannot however preclude the possibility of an escalation of the general market uncertainty to other markets, or a
consequential adverse impact on the economic environment the Company operates, that might have an adverse effect on the
Company, and its financial position and operating results, in the medium and longer term.

11 Description of Key Risks and Contingencies of the Company
In 2021, the results of sales of Utenos Trikotažas AB (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”), the largest group of textile
companies in Central and Eastern Europe, were influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and its outcomes on economic
situation in the main export markets and Lithuania. In 2021, the Group’s largest export regions remain the German-speaking
countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and Scandinavia.
Key risk factors related to operations of Utenos Trikotažas AB include:
• Overall economic situation in principal export markets;
• Overall economic situation of Lithuania;
• Foreign currency fluctuations;
• Amendments to laws and legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania;
• Changes in accounting and tax regulations;
• Geopolitical situation in Europe and world-wide.
Economic factors.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the announcement of quarantine in Lithuania and other markets affected the
performance of the Company and the Group in 2021 and 2020. Due to quarantine restrictions on economic activity, the
stores were temporarily closed in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania from 16 March 2020 to 20 April 2020, from 16
December 2020 to 31 December 2020, and from 1 January 2021 to 14 February (to 19 April if there is no separate entrance).
Sales of the own brand segment in physical outlets and to wholesale partners declined. According to the management, the
loss of sales due to closure of stores amounts to approx. EUR 560 thousand in 2020 and EUR 506 thousand in 2021. This
effect was offset by the growth of e-shop sales and sales of specific products (face masks).
Sales of on-demand production dropped by 15 per cent in 2020; yet, they increased by 18% in 2021. The management
cannot fully distinguish the impact of the COVID-19 on the segment of knitwear products manufactured on demand due to
lack of data on different quarantine restrictions in end-user markets, customers’ financial position prior to the COVID-19
pandemic and subsequent changes, possible impact of other factors on customer decisions.
In 2020-2021, the development of sales of on-demand production was also hampered by the exhibitions which were
cancelled or held through electronic channels, restricted travel for both the Company’s sales professionals and the
Company’s customers.
The management identifies potential risks caused by COVID-19 to the company‘s results and the going concern which
remain relevant in 2022 as well. It is probable that structural market changes resulting from the COVID-19 when importance
of e-channels in retail trade, compared to physical channels, increased due to restrictions and changed purchasing
behaviours, will remain.
− Operating disruptions and delays due to illness throughout the Group companies;
− Supply-related risk, disruptions of movement of goods;
− Settlement risk;
− Liquidity risk;
− Financing risk;
− The risk of temporary suspension of operations due to epidemic.
Social risk factors.
The Company focuses on improvement of working conditions, employees training, qualification development.
Technical and technological risk factors.
The condition of the Company’s major facilities is good and does not pose any risk to operations. Utenos Trikotažas AB
regularly invests in renovation of facilities and introduction of the latest technologies.
Ecological risk factors.
The Company has implemented environment management system, which complies with requirements of ISO 14001. Key
environmental strategic objectives include:
• Reduction of environmental pollution through efficient and economical use of raw materials and energy resources;
• Reduction in waste volume, improvement of management of waste and chemical materials, reduction of use of
dangerous chemical substances in the production process.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not influenced any specific sustainability-related targets.
Climate-related policy.
There are sustainable measures applied to mitigate climate change:
• Waste sorting and recycling – waste is sorted and recycled. The Company‘s priority is to continue and promote
waste sorting for recycling.
• Efficient energy consumption and saving – proposals / investments related to energy efficiency are analysed. The
ai mis to save >10% of energy for the year 2022. Only green electricity is used – electricity generated only from
renewable resources is purchased and consumed. Audit of energy consumption was carried out in the Company
in 2021.
There is no information that the Company should disclose in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 or theTaxonomy
Regulation.

Consolidated Annual Report for 2021

The World Environmental Organization “Greenpeace” has recognised the SBA group company Utenos Trikotažas
as the first and so far the only company in the world to comply with the Textile Procurement Standard of
“Greenpeace”. The Lithuanian company also became the only production partner of the organization on a global
scale – production of the new “Greenpeace” collection was started in Utena.
The new “Greenpeace” standard embodies all existing best practices in terms of zero use of toxic chemicals, fairness and
transparency.
“It is the standard for any fashion brand really looking to achieve credibility in terms of sustainability. Utenos Trikotažas has
become the first manufacturer to prove it is compliant with these requirements. Under the standard, organically farmed
natural fibres, production tested free of harmful substances, fair pay and transparency are uniquely combined. And all this
with the most stringent testing”, says Viola Wohlgemuth, Consumer and Harm Coordinator at Greenpeace.
“Greenpeace” collection after a long break
When in 2011 the “Greenpeace” has launched Detox My Fashion campaign by announcing that it will suspend all textile
sales “until suppliers and manufacturers can ensure that no hazardous chemicals are used and released at all stages of
production.” A few years later, in 2018, Utenos Trikotažas successfully implemented a pilot phase of production of
“Greenpeace” collection. It became the foundation of the organization’s new standard for textile production, and a year later,
the first large-scale collection was launched.
“This is a historic achievement. Becoming the first producer worldwide to meet “Greenpeace” requirements is phenomenal.
At the same time, it is an appreciation of the long-term efforts of Utenos Trikotažas. We hope that our example will
encourage other textile companies to achieve ambitious environmental goals as well”, says Petras Jašinskas, General
Manager of Utenos Trikotažas AB.
Environmentally friendly production: across the cycle
Utenos Trikotažas has already finished production of the first batch of “Greenpeace” new t-shirt collection and will continue
the production later this year.
According to Viola Wohlgemuth, Utenos Trikotažas and its partners
1
have shown that for the first time ever, steps to avoid
hazardous chemical use and contamination have been taken across the entire production chain, from fibres in the
processing of raw materials, to dyeing and printing according to Detox principles, and finally to the sewing and packaging
of high quality, ready-to-wear garments, made to last.
“The new “Greenpeace” textiles procurement standard requires Utenos Trikotažas to control the chemicals used via
complete testing of the wastewaters released when it bleaches, dyes, washes and prints the cotton. This collection proves
that truly clean, fair and completely transparent production is in fact possible. And not in some boutique sewing shop, but
at an industrial level”, Mrs Wohlgemuth says.
EU Commissioner: sustainability is a competitive advantage
Last December, the European Union introduced its strategy of tackling pollution – the Green Deal. It will include the Circular
Economy Action Plan, which will focus in particular on resource-intensive sectors such as textiles, construction, electronics
and plastics.
European Union Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius congratulated non-
governmental and private sector initiatives and achievements to make the textile industry greener and emphasized the
importance of sustainability in global competition.
“Textile is one of the main industries, where solutions for the circular economy, reusable materials, and recycling will aim to
improve sustainability. The Circular Economy Action Plan, an important part of the EU’s industrial strategy, is already guiding
the planned transformation, therefore, changes in this area are inevitable. It is true that the first ones to follow this path will
naturally have a competitive advantage in the market”, said Virginijus Sinkevičius, EU Commissioner for Environment,
Oceans and Fisheries.
Years of preparation: Detox My Fashion
“Greenpeace” Detox My Fashion campaign, launched almost a decade ago, put a lot of pressure on the global textile
industry, one of the largest polluter, to eliminate the use and discharge of hazardous chemicals. Environmentalists identified
11 groups of hazardous chemicals widely used in the textile industry that are of particular concern due to their effects on
people and the environment and insisted that the major manufacturers and their suppliers commit themselves to stopping
their use in production.
Utenos Trikotažas, part of the SBA Group, is the only Lithuanian company participating in this campaign and one of the few
Detox-committed companies with a vertically integrated production cycle, i.e. when all production processes, from raw
material production through to the final ready-to-wear product, are being made under one roof.
Since the beginning of the Detox my Fashion campaign, over 80 different textile companies (H&M, Nike, Adidas, Puma and
many more) have joined the initiative, representing about 10–15 per cent of the global apparel market.

17 The Company’s Operating Plans and Objectives
Sales in 2022 are planned to be maintained at the same level as in 2021. As the demand for exclusive and sustainable
knitwear is increasing, high value-added production to worldwide brands remains the Group’s strategic direction. As a result
of this tendency, the Group’s investments and resources will be directed towards further development of eco-friendly
innovations, strengthening of positions on global markets and long-term profitable growth of the company.
Tendencies and effects of COVID-19 in 2022 are expected to be similar to those in 2021. It is probable that structural market
changes caused by COVID-19 when importance of e-channels in retail trade, compared to physical channels, increased due
to restrictions and changed purchasing behaviours, will remain. Potential
The management identifies potential risks caused by COVID-19 to the company‘s results and the going concern which remain
relevant in 2022 as well. It is probable that structural market changes resulting from the COVID-19 when importance of e-
channels in retail trade, compared to physical channels, increased due to restrictions and changed purchasing behaviours,
will remain. Potential impact of military actions in Ukraine on the Group‘s results is unknown.
The Group’s growth potential is based on two Organically Innovative pillars of the business strategy: firstly, the focus is on
meeting customer needs for the highest quality production and product innovation, and, secondly, the environmental and
consumer friendliness of the production processes is of utmost importance. This is widely appreciated by the customers in
Lithuania and abroad. Due to these reasons, the Company will focus its investments on the main activity – sale of products
manufactured on demand of clients and development of innovative textiles. The Company‘s Board approved this strategic
direction that is generating the largest income and profitability. Investments in the Company‘s brands which are generating
lower portion of income will be reduced when clarifying the activities.
As products manufactured on demand of clients are increasing, contribution of the brand UTENOS to the general sales
structure will change. A separate division of the Company which is currently dedicated to development of the brand UTENOS
will become an integral part of the organisation, and, implementing the ‘Zero Waste’ ideology, the brand will be intended for
production of collections made of quality and sustainable materials that have not been used in manufacture. According to the
statistics, up to 30% of textile inevitably remain unused in various stages of manufacturing. These amounts are not enough
for mass production; however, they are suitable for smaller individualised batches which will be an axis of the restructured
brand UTENOS. When production volumes of the brand UTENOS decrease as a result of the restructuring, their selling
channels will be revised. Activities of the e-shop will be continued; yet, the number of physical stores will be reduced during
2022.
In implementing restructuring of the Company‘s brands, the subsidiary Aboutwear that is developing the innovative and
sustainable brand ABOUT has suspended its commercial activities. The decision regarding commercial activities has been

adopted after the active search for investors, the circumstances therefor are currently particularly unfavourable, was
completed.
Priority directions for 2022:
• Increase sales to customers by focusing on high quality and added-value, eco-friendly products made of innovative
materials.
• Restructuring of the Company brand – UTENOS and further development according to the purified Zero Waste strategy.
• Sale promotion of materials created and manufactured based on the customer demand.
• Improvement of operational efficiency.
