IV. INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUER’S AND ITS GROUP COMPANIES’
ACTIVITY
15. Overview of the Issuer and its group activity
15.1. Business environment
According to the data of Statistics Lithuania, in 2021, the average annual inflation in Lithuania amounted to 4.7 %. (compared to
2020, the average annual inflation was 1.2 %). Average annual inflation was mainly driven by higher prices for fuels and oil, heat,
solid fuels, vegetables, milk and dairy products, gas, bread and cereal products, restaurant and café services, vehicle maintenance
and repair services, electricity, lottery tickets and decreased in the water supply prices. In 2021, the prices of consumer goods in
Lithuania increased by 11.7%, while the prices for consumer services increased by 7.8 %. In 2021, the average annual inflation
rate in the European Union was 2.9 % and 2.6 % in the euro area. In Lithuania, the average annual inflation in 2021 was calculated
according to the consumer price index harmonised with the EU countries, which accounted for 4.6 %.
In 2021, according to the data of the Statistics Lithuania, Lithuania’s gross domestic product (GDP) at current prices amounted to
EUR 55.4 billion. Compared to 2020, the real change in GDP, seasonally and working day adjusted, was positive at 5.1 %. The
change in GDP in 2021 was positively influenced by a significant increase in the performance of retail trade, except of motor vehicles
and motorcycles, and results of activities of industrial enterprises. The GDP (seasonally and working-day adjusted and quarter on
quarter) grew the most in the first (2.1 %) and second (2 %) quarters. The GDP grew by 0.04 % in the third quarter and by 0.5 %
in the fourth quarter.
According to the Bank of Lithuania, in 2021, the global economy recovered, but slowed at the end of the year. The slowdown in the
global economy is mainly due to the high incidence of COVID-19 (which, even without severe restrictions, is worsening household
expectations) and the continuing tensions in supply chains. Although the global COVID-19 vaccination population is increasing and
the risk of restrictions that could have a significant negative impact on economic development is diminishing, the high number of
COVID-19 cases and the rapid spread of Omicron variant have led some countries to renew their restrictions, and yet again increases
uncertainty about when the pandemic will be overcome. In addition, there are still no signs of normalisation and tensions in supply
chains, such as delivery times, remain relatively close to historic highs. At the same time, it should be noted that, in contrast to the
beginning of the pandemic, when long delivery times were associated with supply-side restriction, they are now more associated
with extremely high demand for goods. On the one hand, households are expected to increase their use of services in the near term
as pandemic constraints ease. This would reduce the demand for goods and the tensions over their supply. On the other hand,
growing labour shortages and rising energy prices on global markets are forcing the cessation of production of some goods, which
poses an additional risk that tensions in supply chains will persist for longer than previously thought. At present, they are not
expected to fully normalise until 2023.
According to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, in 2021, businesses were able to adapt to the changed conditions
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, changes in the value added generated by almost all economic activities in 2021
were positive and the country’s economic growth was one of the fastest in the European Union. However, the further development
of a large number of enterprises is limited by staff shortages. Although labour force participation has increased with the lifting of
quarantine and the easing of contact restrictions, and the unemployment rate has approached pre-pandemic levels, the level of job
vacancies shows that the country's labour shortage is the highest since the beginning of 2008. Increasing competition for workers
was one of the key factors behind a nearly 10 % annual wage growth in the country. Wage growth was recorded in all economic
activities, including the accommodation and catering, leisure organisation and retail trade activities, which suffered the most during
the pandemic, where wages grew at double-digit rates. The Ministry of Finance forecasts that in 2022, taking into account the
situation in the labour market, rising salaries of public sector employees and increasing minimum monthly wage, the growth rate
of wages in Lithuania will reach 9.3 %. The growing pressure to increase wages may contribute to the factors limiting the
development of production, but according to the Bank of Lithuania, rapidly rising wages have not yet reduced the competitiveness
of Lithuanian business abroad, and wages still lag behind the EU average more than productivity (-35 % and -29 % respectively).
The Bank of Lithuania’s Review of the Development and Prospects of the Lithuanian Economy states that the further development
of the Lithuanian economy will continue to be determined by the global management of the pandemic situation, the recovery of
domestic demand and the development of export-oriented activities. The scale of the pandemic and adaptation to it both in Lithuania
and abroad will continue to have a decisive impact on economic activity. Households should benefit from increased access to
previously limited services. Although their purchasing power growth will be limited by rising inflation, household consumption in
2022 is still expected to grow significantly faster than was usual before the pandemic and to reach around 4 %, according to the
Ministry of Finance. Such developments in household consumption should be driven by household disposable income growth higher
than inflation and a gradual return to household savings to pre-pandemic levels. It is forecast that the development of household
consumption of Lithuania’s most important trading partners will be similar, which will also favour the demand for Lithuanian goods
and services and contribute to the further growth of Lithuanian exports of goods and services, which, according to the Ministry of
Finance, could reach about 5.2 % per year. However, the development of exports in 2022 will be partially limited by unfavourable
factors, such as the imposition of sanctions on Belarusian exports or the increase in capacity utilisation to the highest level since
the release of the data. Nonetheless, due to the expected growth in investment, resulting from shortage of production capacity and
labour, and the increased flow of EU support, some of the adverse effects will somewhat significantly limit exports only short term.
All of these factors are expected to lead to a relatively significant economic growth in 2022. Lithuania’s real GDP in 2022 is projected
to grow by 3.6 %. However, the continuing tensions in the supply chains, which may persist until 2023, expensive energy resources
and various factors related to Lithuania’s domestic economic development, which are driving up service prices the most, will continue
to affect inflation in Lithuania. It is estimated that in 2022, the average annual inflation will still rise to 5.1 %. Inflation will also be
INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB
ANNUAL REPORT OF 2021 | 61
affected by the increase in excise duties on alcoholic beverages and rising food prices. However, the Bank of Lithuania does not
change its assessment that the increase in inflation is temporary: although inflation will remain high in the beginning of 2022, it
should subside in the second half of the year.
Despite all the challenges posed by the pandemic to the development of the Lithuanian economy, in 2020, the coordination of EU
funds investment programmes for 2021-2027 period was completed. According to the European Union Support Center operating in
Lithuania, a total of EUR 14.5 billion of EU assistance will be allocated to Lithuania in 2021-2027.(with EUR 12.8 billion allocated in
2014-2020), which is EUR 1.7 billion more than was allocated in the financial period 2014-2020. In the new financial period,
Lithuanian farmers will receive higher direct payments, with EUR 4.9 billion allocated for this purposes, which is EUR 892 million
more than in the previous financial period 2014-2020. From 2022, farmers will receive a payment of EUR 200 per hectare (currently
receiving EUR 177), after which the payments will gradually increase. It is projected that in 2027, these payments will reach EUR
215 per hectare. This factor is especially important in order to ensure a level playing field for Lithuanian farmers in the EU internal
market.
According to the calculations of Statistics Lithuania, the value of agricultural production in 2021, compared to 2020, increased by
7.8 % at current prices. The value of crop production increased by 8.1 % and that of livestock production – by 7.2 %. The purchase
prices of agricultural products increased by 15.6 %. The largest increases of purchase prices were in buckwheat (37.1 %), rapeseed
(35.2 %) and potatoes (34.2%), and in livestock products – dairy products (16.9 %), cattle (14.7 %) and poultry (11.2%).
According to the preliminary 2021 data of the Statistic Lithuania, the yields of sugar beets (16.7 %), legumes (13.1 %), cereals
(8.6 %) and potatoes (7.8 %) decreased the most. The 4.2 % increase in rapeseed yield was due to the increased of rapeseed crop
area. Livestock production volumes decreased by 0.9 % due to a lower production of poultry (5 %), sheep and goats (1.6 %) and
lower milk produce (0.8 %). The direct payments for agricultural production increased by 10 %, up to EUR 387.8 million. Other
subsidies on production decreased by 15.6 %, up to EUR 211 million. The value of agricultural services provided grew by 13 % over
the year.
The growth of prices of agricultural land in the past years was significantly affected by the consistently improving national economy,
the growing incomes of the market players and the activity of the market players in more expensive territories provided with well-
developed communications and road and services infrastructure. The prices of plots of agricultural land are also affected by the
high profitability of agricultural activities supported by EU grants for agriculture as well as the increase in the sizes of farms resulting
from acquisition or lease of additional agricultural land. The supply of plots of agricultural land in Lithuania is fairly active, but the
selection of land plots suitable for farming is becoming scarce. Major farmers increase their facilities by purchasing small land plots,
but the supply of these shrinks each year. Fertile land plots are sold very quickly.
The restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land enforced in Lithuania and the consistently growing purchase price of plots of
agricultural land raise the demand for leased land and the lease rates. Young farmers, farmers with large farm areas and agricultural
companies are very interested in the lease of land plots since after plots of agricultural land are leased a higher probability to
subsequently purchase them appears in case land owners wish to sell their land plots.
More stringent amendments to the Provisional Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective in May 2014. These
amendments do not allow related parties to acquire more than 500 hectares of land from the State or other persons. A new wording
of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land became effective on 1 January 2018. The wording of the law enforced prior to
2018 only permitted the purchase of agricultural land to a person that has professional skills and competence, i.e. satisfies the
eligibility requirements prescribed by the law. The new wording of the law enforced from 1 January 2018 does not contain any
eligibility requirements. The list of persons that have the pre-emptive right to purchase private agricultural land was adjusted in
the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land. The new wording of the law ensures the right to purchase land for persons engaged
in agricultural activities. The new wording of the law provides for the prohibition to land plot owners to set the condition of sale of
a land plot providing that a person that enjoys the pre-emptive right only may avail of it if it acquires the land plot together with
the other land plots offered for sale. This provision is no longer effective when land plots offered for sale have adjacent borders.
The new wording of the Law on the Acquisition of Agricultural Land effective from 1 January 2018 provides that agreements of
purchase and sale of land may only be executed with payments made via bank transfers. The new wording of the law also provides
that related parties that manage in the Lithuanian territory by right of ownership agricultural land plots with an area greater than
specified in the law (300 hectares, in certain cases 500 hectares) may conclude agreements of transfer of agricultural land plots
with each other provided that the total area of the agricultural land acquired by such related parties does not increase as a result
of such agreements and that the area of the agricultural land of each of these related parties does not exceed 500 hectares.
INVL Baltic Farmland owns 100% of the shares of 18 private joint-stock companies, which, taken together, have purchased an
approximately 3,000 hectares of agricultural land in Lithuania.
Starting from 30 June 2015, when the simple administration agreement was signed with INVL Farmland Management, a company
managed by Invalda INVL (one of the largest asset management group in the Baltic countries), the administration of land plots was
assigned to this company. On 28 December 2020, an amendment to the Simple Property Administration Agreement No 20150630/01
was executed, on the basis of which the term of the agreement for property administration was extended until 31 December 2025.
The enforced more stringent requirements for the acquisition of land have resulted in that companies of the INVL Baltic Farmland
group are no longer able to directly invest in agricultural land in Lithuania and are unable to overtake the control of companies that
manage agricultural land.
INVL Baltic Farmland is seeking to earn in the long run from the increase in land rent and from the growth of the value of land.
According to the data of the property valuation conducted in Q4 2021, the value of the land plots has increased in the course of the
year by 8.2% and reached EUR 16.62 million. One hectare is valuated on average at EUR 5.36 thousand (divided by the total
amount).

(31 December 2020 – 2; 31 December 2019 – 2; 31 December 2018 – 2; 31 December 2017 - 2).
15.4. Environmental Protection
Due to the corporate governance structure and the small amount of employees within the Company, it was considered inefficient
to separately approve environmental policy. We seek to protect the productivity of the land while renting in land to the land tenants.
By entering into contracts, the tenants are committed to ensure the timely and proper operation of the land, not to abandon it, to
prevent it from being set aside and to carry out annual agricultural work. Actions which may have negative effect on fertility of the
land, is prohibited. There is also an increase in certified organic and innovative farms in leased areas of the Company.
15.5. Disclosure of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
In 2021 the Company’s operations were not be impacted or were be little impacted by the coronavirus because the agricultural land
rental agreements which have been made are long-term and so far there are no announcements about disruptions of farming
activity. The management of the Company informs that the effects of coronavirus in the agricultural sector are smaller than in the
whole economy, therefore the coronavirus did not have a significant impact on the Company's results in 2021.
16. A description of the principal advantages, uncertainties encountered, risks and uncertainties
16.1. Advantages of investments
Agricultural land in Lithuania is undervalued
Agricultural land prices in Lithuania are among the lowest in the European Union, and much lower than in neighbouring Poland. This
is caused by increased land fragmentation and other reasons.
INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB
ANNUAL REPORT OF 2021 | 65
Land allows saving core capital and has a low risk
After recent market turmoil, investors are paying more and more attention on capital preservation. Investment in agricultural land
is backed by assets which has only a small possibility of devaluation. Historical data shows that land, in the long term, is
characterized by strong core capital preservation features. Unlike investments in exhaustible metals, oil and gas resources, a well-
managed agricultural land is a completely renewable resource, which remains productive forever.
Land is a good protection against inflation
Agricultural land, as an asset class, has a positive correlation with inflation. Historically, agricultural land values rose faster than
inflation, therefore agricultural land is an effective insurance against inflation and a capital preservation tool. It may be attractive
to investors, who are worried about governments' inflationary policies.
Land generates stable income
Unlike other popular insurance against inflation measures, such as precious metals, land provides a regular income to the investor,
which, in the low interest environment, is often higher than the deposit or bond interest. Although land investment does not bring
the highest income in the real estate sector, not depreciating assets with strong price growth potential and close to 100 % occupation
(unlike commercial real estate, high-quality agricultural land demand is always high, regardless of the economic environment)
generate the income.
Investment in land is characterized by lower income volatility
By placing agricultural land in a diversified portfolio, investors can reduce the risk of income shortage at a time when other assets
generate little or no income. While the long-term rise in agricultural commodity prices positively affect the value of land, short-term
fluctuations in the price of production are assumed by the farmer rather than the landowner.
Historically, land had higher yield
In developed countries agricultural land had higher profits than other asset classes, including equities, bonds and commercial real
estate, despite the lower risk (measured as the standard deviation of the annual return).
Land is an attractive diversification tool
Agricultural land yield has a low or even negative correlation with traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds, and a small positive
correlation with residential and commercial real estate. These features make farmland an attractive diversification tool that can
reduce the impact of general market fluctuations on diversified portfolio.
Agricultural land advantages compared with other real estate investments
Investment in agricultural land is classified as a real estate, but has unique features. This allowed agricultural land to pr otect itself
from extreme falls in the value of assets, which were experienced by residential and commercial property during the crisis.
16.2. Risk factors
Information, provided in this section, should not be considered complete and covering all aspects of the risk factors associated with
the activity and securities of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland.
Risk factors, associated with activities of INVL Baltic Farmland
Restriction of the purchase of agricultural land
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland invests in agricultural land in Lithuania through its owned private companies.
In 1 January 2014 changes to the Agricultural Land Acquisition temporary law (No. IX-1314) entered into force, providing restrictions
of the purchase of agricultural land (including restriction of purchase of shares in the legal entity owning agricultural land). This law
was changed from 1 January 2018 by Agricultural Land Acquisition law (No. XIII-801). These restrictions mean that the public joint-
stock company INVL Baltic Farmland and its owned private companies will not be able to purchase agricultural land in Lithuania
additionally and/or acquire shares in companies owning agricultural land.
Prohibition stated in the law can reduce the amount of buyers of agricultural land, owned by subsidiaries of the public joint-stock
company INVL Baltic Farmland, and thus the liquidity and price of the asset.
The total investment risk
The value of the investment in agricultural land can vary in the short term, depending on the harvest, prices of agricultural products,
local demand and supply fluctuations, competition between farmers and financial situation. Investment in agricultural land should
be carried out in the medium and long term, so that investor can avoid the short-term price fluctuations. Investing in real estate is
connected with the long-term risks. After failure of investments or under other ill-affected circumstances (having been unable to
pay for the creditors) the bankruptcy proceedings may be initiated.
Agricultural production and other commodity price volatility risk
Agricultural products and other commodities prices are historically characterized by very large fluctuations, on which, in many
cases, depends the price of agricultural land. The main factor affecting profitability of agricultural business is the price of the crop
(wheat, canola, etc.), but fuel, labour, fertilizers' and other commodity prices also affect the cost of agricultural activity, therefore
their increase lowers profit margins and reduces the ability to pay higher prices for agricultural land leases. If high fuel, fertilizer
INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB
ANNUAL REPORT OF 2021 | 66
and labour costs coincide with the fall of agricultural output prices, farmers and investors in the agricultural sector may suffer a
loss.
Common agricultural risk
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will seek to lease its owned agricultural land to farmers and agricultural
companies for the highest price possible. Factors that could adversely affect the agricultural sector may be: weather conditions
(floods, droughts, heavy rains, hail, frost, weeds, pests, diseases, fire, climate change related worsening conditions and others).
Any of these factors, together or separately, could have a negative impact on farmers' incomes and farmland values. Part of the
risks, not all, can be insured, but the insurance costs reduce agricultural profitability, thus not all Lithuanian farmers do it.
Reliance on the European Union and national subsidies
Lithuanian and the European Union farmers' activities and profits are highly dependent on the European Union's Common
Agricultural Policy (CAP) - EU and national subsidies for agricultural activities. Recent changes to the CAP are valid for the period
2021-2027.
Elimination of direct payments could have a negative impact on agricultural land rents and values.
Land illiquidity risk
Investments in agricultural land under certain market conditions are relatively illiquid, thus finding buyers for these lands can take
time. Investors may consider the investment in agricultural land only if they do not have needs for the sudden liquidity.
Risk of legislative and regulatory changes
Lithuanian law, the European Union directives and other legislative changes may affect the income of farmers and agricultural land
rents. For example, changes affecting agricultural products price controls, export restrictions, customs entry or withdrawal, more
stringent environmental restrictions could adversely affect the profitability of agriculture.
Tax increase risk
Tax laws change may lead to a greater taxation of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland and its group companies,
which in turn may reduce the profits and assets of the company.
Inflation and deflation risk
It is likely that during its operational period the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will face both inflation and deflation
risks as investments in agricultural land are long term. If the profit from the agriculture land rent will be less than the inflation rate,
it will result in loss of purchasing power. It is estimated that investment in agricultural land profitability is highly correlated with
inflation.
Credit risk
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland will seek to lease agricultural land plots in the highest price possible to farmers
in Lithuania and agricultural companies. There is a risk that tenants of the land will not fulfil their obligations - it would adversely
affect the profit of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland. Large parts of liabilities not fulfilled in time may cause
disturbances in activities of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland, there might be a need to seek additional sources
of financing, which may not always be available.
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland also bears the risk of holding funds in bank accounts or investing in short -
term financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland may be faced with a situation where it will not be able to settle with suppliers
and other creditors in time. The company will seek to maintain adequate liquidity levels or secure funding in order to reduce this
risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk mainly includes loans with a variable interest rate. The public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland plans to
use very small amount of debt. Rising interest rates worldwide may adversely affect the values of property - agricultural land.
Large shareholders risk
Three shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland together with related parties hold more than 60 percent
of shares and their voting will influence the election of the Members of the Boards of company, essential decisions regarding
management of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland, operations and financial position. There is no guarantee that
the decisions made by the major shareholders' will always coincide with the opinion and interest of the minority shareholders. Large
shareholders have the right to block the proposed solutions of other shareholders.

INVL Baltic Farmland had revenue of EUR 665 thousand in 2021 and earned unaudited net profit of EUR 1,411 thousand for the
year. Profit was forecasted under the assumption that the value of agricultural land holdings in the balance sheet would not change
and the change in the value of trade receivables by the buyers was not assessed, but a valuation conducted by the company
Matininkai showed that land holding value had increased by 8.2% to EUR 16.62 million compared to previous year, or EUR 5.36
thousand per hectare. In addition, EUR 1 thousand reversal of impairment of trade receivables was recognized and due to decrease
of overdue debts during the year the administration fee was increased by EUR 19 thousand. Excluding these non-estimated factors
and the related income tax expense, INVL Baltic Farmland's profit would be EUR 359 thousand. Therefore, after assessing the
favourable market trends that allowed to increase the value of assets, it can be stated that INVL Baltic Farmland has accomplished
and exceeded the calculated profit forecasts for 2021.

The legal acts may provide for the obligation to form a respective committee. For example, the Law on the Audit of Financial Statements of the Republic of Lithuania provides
that public-interest entities (including but not limited to public limited liability companies whose securities are traded on a regulated market of the Republic of Lithuania and/or
of any other Member State) are under the obligation to set up an audit committee (the legal acts provide for the exemptions where the functions of the audit committee may
be carried out by the collegial body performing the supervisory functions).
Principle 5: Nomination, remuneration and audit committees
5.1. Purpose and formation of committees
The committees formed at the company should increase the work efficiency of the supervisory board or, where the supervisory
board is not formed, of the management board which performs the supervisory functions by ensuring that decisions are based on
due consideration and help organise its work in such a way that the decisions it takes would be free of material conflicts of interest.
Committees should exercise independent judgment and integrity when performing their functions and provide the collegial body
with recommendations concerning the decisions of the collegial body. However, the final decision should be adopted by the collegial
body.
5.1.1. Taking due account of the company-related circumstances and the
chosen corporate governance structure, the supervisory board of the
company or, in cases where the supervisory board is not formed, the
management board which performs the supervisory functions, establishes
committees. It is recommended that the collegial body should form the
nomination, remuneration and audit committees
9

the committees formed at companies may be performed by the collegial
body itself. In such case the provisions of this Code pertaining to the
committees (particularly those related to their role, operation and
transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a
whole.

composed of at least three members. Subject to the requirements of the

competences by giving priority to independent members of the collegial
body. The chair of the management board should not serve as the chair
of committees.

the collegial body itself. Committees should perform their duties
according to the authority delegated to them and regularly inform the
collegial body about their activities and performance on a regular basis.
The authority of each committee defining its role and specifying its rights
and duties should be made public at least once a year (as part of the
information disclosed by the company on its governance structure and
practice on an annual basis). In compliance with the legal acts regulating
the processing of personal data, companies should also include in their
annual reports the statements of the existing committees on their
composition, the number of meetings and attendance over the year as
well as the main directions of their activities and performance.
5.1.6. With a view to ensure the independence and impartiality of the
committees, the members of the collegial body who are not members of
the committees should normally have a right to participate in the
meetings of the committee only if invited by the committee. A committee
may invite or request that certain employees of the company or experts
would participate in the meeting. Chair of each committee should have
the possibility to maintain direct communication with the shareholders.
Cases where such practice is to be applied should be specified in the rules
regulating the activities of the committee.

in

and

(together

Rationale
for
the
materiality
benchmark
applied
We
chose
the
Company's
and
Group's
equity
as
the
benchmark
because,
in
our
view,
it
is
an
appropriate
measure
of
underlying
performance,
and
it
is
the
benchmark
against
which
the
performance
of
the
Company,
the
Group
and
other
companies
in
this
industry
is
most
commonly
measured
by
users,
and
it
is
a
generally
accepted
benchmark. The key driver of the business and determinant
of the Company’s and the Group’s value is investments into
various properties. For this reason, the key area of focus in
the audit of the financial statements of the Company and the
Group is the valuation of investment properties. Accordingly,
an overall Company and Group materiality was based on
total equity.
We chose 1 %, which is within the range of acceptable
quantitative materiality thresholds.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties
Refer to Notes 2.18 and 10 to the financial
statements on pages 18 and 28, respectively.
The Group’s investment properties represent
the most significant category of the Group’s
assets. Investment properties are accounted at
fair value. Management estimated the fair
value of the Group’s investment properties to
be € 16,620 thousand at 31 December 2021,
as compared to € 15,364 thousand at 31
December 2020.
Net gain from fair value adjustments on
investment property amounts to € 1,256
thousand (2020: € 683 thousand) in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
The valuation of all of the Group‘s investment
properties was based on the independent
external valuations. Valuations took into
account evidence of market transactions for
properties and locations comparable to those
of the Group.
Given the materiality of investment properties,
the net gain from fair value adjustments had a
significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements. We also focused on this area as
the conclusions are dependent upon significant
Our procedures in relation to management
expert’s valuation of investment properties
included:
• evaluation of the independent external valuers’
competence, capabilities and objectivity;
• assessing the methodology used and the
appropriateness of the key assumptions based on
our knowledge of the agricultural land market;
• checking the accuracy and relevance of the input
data used;
• examining selected independent valuations by
obtaining market prices of agricultural land plots in
the same geographical area from independent
source, adjusting those for productivity
parameters and comparing price per hectare of
selected land plots to those used by management
expert.
Because of the subjectivity involved in
determining valuations for investment properties,
we determined a range of values that were
considered reasonable to evaluate the
independent property valuations used by
management. The valuations used by the Group
were within an acceptable range. We also
considered whether or not there was bias in
determining individual valuations and found no
evidence of bias.
judgement involved in performing the valuation
and they are most sensitive to the assumptions
underlying those valuations. In particular, the
most significant inputs into this valuation
approach are price per hectare and
adjustments for differences in key attributes
such as land size and productivity.
For this reason, due to existence of significant
estimation uncertainty, we have given specific
audit focus and attention to this area.
We found the key assumptions were supported by
the available evidence and the disclosures in Note
10 to be appropriate.
