CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER

2023

(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2 Summary of material accounting policies

The material accounting policies applied in preparing the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements for the year ended

31 December 2023 are as follows:

2.1. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in

accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU).

These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties that have been

measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro (EUR) and all values are rounded to the

nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated. From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of

Lithuania.

Adoption of new and/or changed IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations

The Group and the Company have adopted the new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that are effective for annual

periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023:

− Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies;

− Amendments to IAS 8: Definition of Accounting Estimates;

− Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction;

− Amendments to IAS 12: International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules;

− IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies.

IAS 1 was amended to require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant

accounting policies. The amendment provided the definition of material accounting policy information. The amendment also

clarified that accounting policy information is expected to be material if, without it, the users of the financial statements would be

unable to understand other material information in the financial statements. The amendment provided illustrative examples of

accounting policy information that is likely to be considered material to the entity’s financial statements. Further, the amendment

to IAS 1 clarified that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. However, if it is disclosed, it should not

obscure material accounting policy information. To support this amendment, IFRS Practice Statement 2, ‘Making Materiality

Judgements’ was also amended to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

The amendments have had an impact on the Group’s and the Company’s disclosures of accounting policies, but not on the

measurement, recognition or presentation of any items in the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements.

All other amendments adopted as of 1 January 2023 had no impact on the Group’s and Company’s financial statements for the

year ended 31 December 2023.

Standards adopted by the EU but not yet effective and have not been early adopted

Amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are adopted by the EU, but not yet effective, are not relevant to the

Group and the Company.

Standards not yet adopted by the EU

Amendments to existing standards and new standards, which are not yet adopted by the EU, are not relevant to the Group and

the Company.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER

2023

(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2 Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

2.2. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. The financial

statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company, using consistent accounting

policies.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the group is exposed to, or has

rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the

entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and

continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

2.3. Functional and presentation currency

From 1 January 2015 the euro became local currency of the Republic of Lithuania. The financial statements are prepared in euro

(EUR), which is local currency of the Republic of Lithuania, and presented in EUR thousand. Euro is the Company’s and the

Group’s functional and presentation currency. The exchange rates in relation to other currencies are set daily by the European

Central Bank and the Bank of Lithuania.

As these financial statements are presented in euro thousand, individual amounts were rounded. Due to the rounding, totals in

the tables may not add up.

2.4. Investment properties

Land that is held for long-term rental yields and for capital appreciation is classified as investment properties.

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment

properties are carried at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gains or losses arising from changes in

the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently

withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal

of an investment property are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within “Net gains (losses) from fair value

adjustments on investment property” in the year of retirement or disposal.

2.5. Investments into subsidiaries (the Company)

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment in

the subsidiary is carried in the statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Company’s share of net

assets of the subsidiary. The reporting dates of the subsidiary and the Company are identical and the subsidiary’s accounting

policies conform to those used by the Company for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

CONSOLIDATED AND COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER

2023

(all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2 Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

2.6. Financial assets and its impairment

As the business model for the Group‘s and the Company‘s financial assets are held to collect contractual cash flows and they are

solely payments of principal and interest, the Group and the Company have only financial assets measured at amortised cost.

They comprised trade and other receivables, loans granted, cash and cash equivalents.

The Group and the Company assess on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets

carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit

risk.

Cash and cash equivalents and loans granted are considered to be low credit risk at the reporting date (Stage 1) as they have a

low risk of default and the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. Therefore,

the Group/the Company is not relevant a three-stage model for impairment for financial assets other than trade receivables. For

Stage 1 financial assets 12-month expected credit losses (‘ECL’) are recognised and interest revenue is calculated on the gross

carrying amount of the asset (that is, without deduction for credit allowance). 12-month ECL are the expected credit losses that

result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. It is not the expected cash shortfalls over

the 12-month period but the entire credit loss on an asset weighted by the probability that the loss will occur in the next 12 months.

The financial assets are considered as credit-impaired, if objective evidence of impairment exist at the reporting date. Evidence

of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default

or delinquency in payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Financial assets are written off, in whole or in part, when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is

no reasonable expectation of recovery include, among others, the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the

debtor, unsuccessful enforcement through bailiffs.

For trade and other receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime

losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Trade receivables are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3:

− Stage 2 – comprises receivables for which there the simplified approach was applied to measure the expected lifetime credit

losses, except for certain trade receivables classified in Stage 3;

− Stage 3 – comprises trade receivables which are overdue more than 360 days or individually identified as impaired.

The Group trade and other receivables mainly comprised receivables from farmers. The majority of farmers covered rental fee up

to 1 April. Most remaining farmers pay rental fee in autumn after harvest. In November and December farmers pay variable part

of rent, related to land tax. Mostly remaining trade receivables is covered within month after year-end or they are identified as

individually impaired. Therefore, for Stage 2 trade receivables the ECL are calculated and recognised if would be determined

material amount for potential impairment based on settlement of trade receivables after reporting date which are not individually

impaired.

Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.7. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position and for purpose of the cash flow statement comprise cash at

banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

2.8. Financial liabilities

The Group and the Company recognises a financial liability when it first becomes a party to the contractual rights and obligations

in the contract.

All financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, minus (in the case of a financial liability that is not at fair value through

profit or loss) transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is

discharged or cancelled or expires.

2.9. Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are

recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any group company purchases the company’s equity

share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes)

is deducted from equity attributable to the company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares

are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the

related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company’s equity holders.

2.10. Leases

Group’s company is the lessor in an operating lease

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the Group’s company are classified as

operating leases. Payments, including pre-payments, received under operating leases (net of any incentives granted to the lessee)

are credited to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The Group account

for a modification to an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or

accrued lease payments relating to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

See Note 2.11 for the recognition of lease income.

2.11. Revenue recognition

Revenue includes lease income, interest income and other income. Other income includes penalties from tenants for overdue

payments.

Lease income

Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease

term. The Group elected to recognise lease income for variable payment that depends on an index or a rate in the periods in

which changes of index or rate occur. Variable lease payments that do not depends on an index or a rate are recognised as lease

income in the periods in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

In the first quarter rental fee, except variable part related to land tax, is invoiced to the tenants. In the fourth quarter variable part

of the rent related to land tax is invoiced to the tenants, when State tax authorities provide an estimate of the land tax and land

tax expenses are recognised.

Interest income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for

financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied

to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance).

2.12. Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income,

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the

reporting period in Lithuania where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management

periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to

interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

The standard income tax rate in Lithuania was 15 % in 2022 and 2023. Tax losses can be transferred at no consideration or in

exchange for certain consideration between the group companies if certain conditions are met.

Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their

carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have

been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income

tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will

be recovered entirely through sale.

Following the provisions of Law on Corporate Income Tax the sale of shares of subsidiaries to another entity or a natural person

shall not be taxed where the entity transferring the shares held more than 10% of voting shares in that entity for an uninterrupted

period of at least two years. If mentioned condition is met or is expected to be met by the management of the Company, no

deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised in respect of temporary differences associated with carrying amounts of these

investments.

Tax losses can be carried forward indefinitely, unless the entity changes its activities. However, losses incurred as a result of the

disposal of securities may be carried forward for five years. Previous year tax losses can only decrease the current year taxable

profit by up to 70%.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against

current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation

authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net

basis.

2 Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

2.13. Significant accounting judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management of the Group and the Company to make judgements and estimates

that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of

reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a

material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including

expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group accounting policies, management has not made any judgements, which has most significant

effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a

significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are

described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial

statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to

market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when

they occur.

The significant areas of estimation used in the preparation of these financial statements are discussed below.

Fair value of investment properties in consolidated financial statements

Fair value of investment properties was based on the market approach by reference to sales in the market of comparable

properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogues transactions in the market. These values are adjusted for

differences in key attributes such as land size and productivity.

The fair value of the investment properties as at 31 December 2023 was EUR 20,756 thousand (as at 31 December 2022 – EUR

18,092 thousand) (described in more details in Note 11).

3 Financial risk management

3.1. Financial risk factors

The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks and legal risks and

managed on an overall Group level by the Management Board. After signing land administration agreement most of operational

and legal risks, as well as credit risk are managed by the third party UAB INVL Farmland Management. The primary objectives of

the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits.

The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures

to minimise operational and legal risks. To limit operational risk, annual documentation reviews are held. This helps to limit legal

risks as well in case a dispute arises and all the documentation is in place and of appropriate quality and can be used to prove

the rights. Legal risk is limited as well by the fact that counterparties do not grant guarantees on each other.

The Group’s and the Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables. The main purpose of these

financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s and the Company’s operations. The Group and the Company have various financial

assets such as trade and other receivables, loans granted and cash which arise directly from their operations. The Group and the

Company have not used any derivative instruments and borrowings so far, as management considered that there is no necessity

for them.

The main risks arising from the financial instruments are market risk (including currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate

risk and price risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The risks are identified and disclosed below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an

obligation. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, credit exposures to outstanding trade receivables and loans granted.

As at 31 December 2022 the Group had a significant concentration of credit risk related to one tenant, with whom the lease

agreement was terminated in 2019 (hereinafter – tenant A). As at 31 December 2023 the Group had a significant concentration

of credit risk related to another tenant, with whom the lease agreement was terminated in 2023 (hereinafter – tenant B). The

balance of trade receivable from tenant A comprises approximately 16% of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at

December 2022. As at 31 December 2022 the carrying amount of the receivable represents possibility to recovery of remaining

amount by applying VAT credit from balance of bad debts, which was released in 2023. The balance of trade receivable from

tenant B comprises approximately 10.5% of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at 31 December 2023. Other tenants did

not expose the Group to a significant concentration of credit risk. The credit risk is managed by the third party UAB INVL Farmland

Management according to the agreement (Note 7). The third party seeks to ensure that lease contracts are entered into only with

lessees with an appropriate credit history.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, impairment of financial assets is disclosed in Notes 13 and 14. In Note 14 is also disclosed

credit risk exposure of trade receivable. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company that occur outside Lithuania.

With respect to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents the Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises

from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments.

According to the European deposit insurance scheme, cash, cash equivalents and deposits of up to EUR 100 thousand of every

legal entity in each bank are covered with insurance. All the Group’s and the Company’s balance of cash and cash equivalents

are covered with the insurance. Therefore, all cash balances have a low credit risk at the reporting date and the impairment loss

determined on 12-month expected credit losses is resulted in an immaterial amount.

The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings of the banks:

3 Financial risk management (cont’d)

3.1 Financial risk factors (cont’d)

Market risk

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group has no borrowings and loans granted. The Company has loans granted to its subsidiaries with fixed interest rates for

one year. Therefore, the Group and the Company are not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group and the Company holds assets and liabilities denominated only in the euro. Therefore, the Group and the Company

are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

Price risk

The Group is not exposed to price risk of financial instruments as it does not hold any equity securities or commodities. The

Company is not exposed to price risk of financial instruments as it does not hold any equity securities (except subsidiaries

accounting for using equity method of accounting) or commodities.

Liquidity risk

The Group’s and the Company’s policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents. The liquidity risk of the Group and the

Company is controlled on an overall Group level. The Group and the Company have not been facing any liquidity issues so far.

The proceeds from rent and cash balances are sufficient to settle all liabilities. The Company receives repayment of granted loans

and interest from subsidiaries to finance its activities.

The Group’s liquidity ratio (total current assets / total current liabilities) as at 31 December 2023 was approximately 0.84 (1.25 as

at 31 December 2022). The Company’s liquidity ratio as at 31 December 2023 was approximately 0.19 (0.99 as at 31 December

2022).

3.2. Capital management

The primary objective of the capital management is to ensure that the Group and the Company maintain a strong credit health

and healthy capital ratios in order to support their business and maximise shareholder value. The Company‘s management

supervises the investments so that they are in compliance with requirements applied to the capital, specified in the appropriate

legal acts, as well as provide the Group’s management with necessary information.

The Group‘s and the Company‘s capital comprises share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings.

The Group and the Company manage their capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions

and specific risks of their activity. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to

shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes

during the year 2023 and 2022.

The Company is obliged to keep its equity ratio at not less than 50 % of its share capital, as imposed by the Law on Companies

of Republic of Lithuania. The Company and the subsidiaries complied with this requirement as at 31 December 2023 and 2022,

except one dormant subsidiary as at 31 December 2023 and 2022. There are no plans yet to rectify the situation.

4 Fair value estimation

Assets carried at fair value

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is,

as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices);

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets measured at fair value in the statement

of financial position as at 31 December 2023.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total balance
Assets of the Group
Investment properties (Note 11)		-		20,756		-	20,756

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets measured at fair value in the statement

of financial position as at 31 December 2022.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total balance
Assets of the Group
Investment properties (Note 11)		-		18,092		-	18,092

There were no transfers of assets between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2023 and 2022.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value in the Group’s and the Company’s statements of financial position.

Financial instruments that are not carried at fair value

The Group’s and the Company’s principal financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial

position are cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, loans granted, trade and other payables.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables of the Group and

the Company as at 31 December 2023 and 2022 reasonably approximated their fair value because they are short-term and the

impact of discounting is immaterial.

The carrying amount of loans granted by the Company approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed at

the end of each financial year and adjusted in line with market rates changes. Their fair value is based on cash flows discounted

using 9% and 7% interest rate as at 31 December 2023 and 2022, respectively. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

6 Segment information and operating lease commitments

Management of the Company has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Board of Directors

that are used to make strategic decisions. All financial information, including the measure of profit, total assets and total liabilities,

is analysed as a single reporting segment - agricultural land segment, therefore is not further disclosed in these financial

statements. The Company and its subsidiaries are domiciled in Lithuania. There are no transactions of the Group or the Company

that occur outside Lithuania. Therefore, the management has neither analysed revenue, nor other financial indicators by

geographical areas. All revenue of the Group is received from one type of service – rent of land. Therefore, the Group has not

disclosed any breakdown of revenue by product and services type and by geographical areas.

In 2023 and in 2022 there is no single customer from which the Group has received more than 10% of its revenue.

Operating lease commitments – Group as a lessor

The Group has entered into leases of the Group’s investment properties under operating lease agreements with rentals payable

yearly in two parts. First part of rent is payable until 1 April according to the most Group’s lease agreements. Second part of rent

related to land tax is payable in November – December. Most of the agreements have remaining terms of between 1 and 5 years.

The most Group’s lease agreements have clause for indexation on consumer price index or unilaterally right to increase rent by

notice. Approximately 11% of land plots is leased with clause of agreement that lessee could have to pay surcharge that depends

on milling wheat futures price change. Although the Group is exposed to changes in the residual value at the end of the current

leases, the Group typically enters into new operating leases and therefore will not immediately realise any reduction in residual

value at the end of these leases. Expectations about the future residual values are reflected in the fair value of the land.

Cancellable lease agreements can be cancelled under the following terms:

• Tenants must notify the lessor 12 months in advance if they wish to cancel the rent agreement without any reason and

have to pay annual rent fee for these 12 months.

• The lessor has the right to unilaterally change the rent price for the coming year and must notify the tenant about the

change till 1 May of the current year. If tenants do not agree with the new rent price, they can terminate the agreement

with notification of 3 months in advance.

In 2023 lease income relating to variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate was EUR 33 thousand (2022:

EUR 37 thousand).

10 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the

parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

The weighted average number of shares for 2023 and 2022 was 3,228 thousand.

The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic earnings per share computations:

	Group
	2023	2022
Net profit (loss), attributable to the equity holders of the parent	2,643	1,968
Weighted average number of ordinary shares (thousand)	3,228	3,228
Basic earnings (deficit) per share (EUR)	0.82	0.61

For 2023 and 2022 diluted earnings per share of the Group and the Company are the same as basic earnings per share.

11 Investment properties

The movements of investment properties during 2023 and 2022 were:

2023

Fair value hierarchy	Level 2	2022
Balance as at 1 January	18,092	16,620

Unrealised gains and losses for the period included within ‘Net gains (losses) from fair value adjustments on investment property’ in the statement of comprehensive income	2,665	1,572

Investment properties are stated at fair value and are valued by accredited valuer UAB korporacija Matininkai using sales

comparison method. The valuations were performed in December 2023 and in December 2022.

The fair value represents the price that would be received selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants

at the measurement date. An investment property’s fair value was based on the market approach by reference to sales in the

market of comparable properties. Market approach refers to the prices of the analogues transactions in the market. These values

are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as land plot size and productivity. The most significant input into this valuation

approach is price per hectare.

There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period.

During 2023 the Group has not sold any investment properties. In March 2022 the Group sold 17.2882 ha land for EUR 450

thousand to UAB Mantinga. In 2022 was recognised profit of EUR 350 thousand from the sale. It should be noted that the difference

between the sale price and carrying amount of the land is based on the fact that the buyer of the land does not plan to use the

land according to its agricultural purpose. Therefore, the transaction does not have impact to fair value of other land, owned by

the Group.

On 1 May 2014 changes to the Agricultural Land Acquisition temporary law entered into force, providing restrictions of the

purchase of agricultural land (including restriction of purchase of shares in the legal entity owning agricultural land). These

restrictions mean that the Group cannot purchase additional agricultural land and/or acquire shares in entities owning agricultural

land. As a result of restrictions the land sale market in Lithuania became less liquid.

There were no other restrictions on the realisation of investment properties or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposals

during 2023 and 2022. No contractual obligations to purchase investment properties existed at the end of the period.

13 Loans granted to subsidiaries at amortised cost

The Company’s loans granted are described below:

	2023	2022
Loans granted to subsidiaries	2,739	3,036
Total loans granted	2,739	3,036

The movements of loans granted to subsidiaries during the year were:

Balance as at 31 December 2021	3,547
Loans granted during year	-
Loans repayment received	(543)
VAT receivable arising from interest on loans granted to subsidiaries converted to loans

VAT receivable arising from interest on loans granted to subsidiaries converted to loans
granted	9
Interest charged	193
Interest received	(122)
Balance as at 31 December 2023	2,739

The contractual maturity of loans granted to subsidiaries is 31 December 2023 according to the agreements, but the Company

classifies them as long term, because intends to prolong them on maturity date. Effective interest rate of loans is 9%. At each year

end maturity of the loans granted is prolonged for one extra year and new market interest rate is determined.

While the loans granted to the subsidiaries are the main liabilities of the subsidiaries and the fair values of investment properties

owned by the subsidiaries are approximately 3.1 – 20.8 times higher than the carrying amounts of the loans granted, they were

considered as low credit risk financial assets at the reporting date (attributable to Stage 1 financial assets). This is because even

if loans granted were covered in the case of forced sale of investment properties, the Company considers that the loss given

default would amount to zero. As at 31 December 2023 and 2022, the Company’s loans granted were neither overdue nor impaired

and they had no history of counterparty defaults. The Company’s policy is to grant loans only to the subsidiaries controlled by it.

The maximum credit risk as at the financial reporting date is the carrying amount of each category of amounts receivable as

indicated above. The Company does not hold any collateral, but investment properties owned by the subsidiaries are not pledged

to any other party and in fact secure loans granted.

The carrying amount of loans granted by the Company approximates their fair value because the interest rates are reviewed at

the end of each year and adjusted when market rates change. Their value is based on cash flows discounted using 9% and 7%

interest rate as at 31 December 2023 and 2022, respectively. It is Level 3 fair value measurement.

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 information from the State Data Agency, the average annual inflation rate in 2023 in Lithuania was 9.1% (for

comparison, in 2022 annual inflation was recorded at 19.7%). The average annual inflation was mainly influenced by the increase

in the prices of pharmaceutical products, meat and its products, restaurants, cafes and similar establishments of public catering

services, cars, tobacco products, plumbing, other personal care devices, supplies and tools. However, prices of electricity, thermal

energy, fuel and lubricants, solid fuel have decreased. Consumer services prices increased by 6.7 % year-on-year and goods prices

decreased by 1.0%. Consumer goods prices peaked in March 2023 and from March to the end of the year it decreased by 2.6%.

The prices of consumer services reached their highest point at the end of the year. Average annual inflation stood at 6.4 % in the

European Union (EU) in 2023 and 5.4% in the euro area. Average annual inflation in Lithuania was 8.7% according to the

Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) with other EU Member States (compared to 18.9% in 2022).

Lithuania’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 was €72.1 billion at the prices of the time, based on preliminary data from the

State Data Agency. Compared to 2022, the real GDP change, excluding seasonal and working days, was negative at -0.3%. The

biggest (-1.2%) negative influence on the GDP change had the performance results of industrial companies. However, the positive

results of the activities of construction and service companies restrained the GDP fall, contributing 0.6% and 0.3% point to the

annual change in GDP, respectively. In Q1, after removing the influence of the season and the number of working days and

comparing with the previous quarter, GDP fell by 2.1%. This was most influenced by the performance of manufacturing, wholesale

and retail trade, transport and storage, and real estate operations companies. 2.9% GDP growth was recorded in Q2 which was

stimulated by the positive performance of transport and storage, construction, manufacturing companies. In Q3, the GDP almost

did not change - the real GDP change was -0.02%. The biggest negative impact on such GDP change was the performance of

industrial, wholesale and retail trade and real estate operations companies, while the biggest positive impact was the performance

of construction and information and communication companies. In the last quarter of the year, due to the worse performance of

industry, wholesale and retail trade and transport and storage companies, GDP was 0.3%. lower than in Q3 of the year.

According to the Bank of Lithuania, global economic activity in 2023 suffocated. The global economy has revived at the start of the

year as China reopened after pandemic restrictions and as many countries saw increased demand for services that had suffered

during the pandemic. However, trends in another important sector, industry, were bleak. Higher interest rates, limited investments,

decreased activity in real estate markets and accumulated inventories gradually reduced the volume of manufacturing output. In

the US and the Eurozone, the industrial sector contracted, while in China it stagnated. This negatively affected the foreign trade

and general economic activity of many countries. The poor situation in the industrial sector also had an adverse effect on the service

sector, whose development was also dampened by the fading positive effects of the post-pandemic opening. For these reasons, the

growth forecasts of many countries and regions, especially for 2024, have been lowered. In the economic forecast of the European

Commission (EC) published in November 2023, it is estimated that the EU GDP in 2024 will grow by 1.3%. (1.6% growth forecast

in May), and in 2025 - 1.7%. The EC expects economic activity to grow gradually as consumption recovers due to a strengthening

labor market, wage growth and further decline in inflation. However, Russia's protracted war against Ukraine and the conflict in the

Middle East have increased uncertainty and the risk of a slowdown in economic development in recent months. The impact of these

factors on the energy market has been limited recently, but there is a risk of disruption to energy supplies, which could have a

significant impact on energy prices, global production and the overall price level. As for the EU's internal market, the impact of

monetary policy tightening may affect economic activity for a longer time and to a greater extent than envisaged by the EC in the

November 2023 forecast.

According to the Bank of Lithuania, the country's economy has paused. It is basically neither growing nor falling and has been

dormant for about two years. It is important to mention that the economy is not growing at a time when the population in Lithuania

is grown, the real income of the population is rising, and funds from the European Union (EU) support funds are increasing.

Therefore, according to the Bank of Lithuania, it seems that the economic growth potential is not fully utilized, due to insufficient

domestic and external demand. According to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, in 2023 economic activity was

particularly suppressed by the great instability of the external environment, the global economic uncertainty caused by Russia's

war against Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East, and the impact of tightened monetary policy on domestic and foreign

demand. However, in 2023 the labour market remained resilient. Despite the high comparative base, the number of employed

population increased by 1% in Q1-Q3 compared to the corresponding period a year ago. Although business expectations and

production volumes in the industry remained poor, a significant contribution to the growth of the number of employed was made

by manufacturing, where the number of the employed population increased by 3.5% in Q1-Q3. The growing hiring of employees

and the high level of vacancies in this activity show that the business considers the difficulties experienced in the export markets

to be short-term. The growth in the number of employed people in the country reflects the strong demand for workers, which is

also reflected in the data on job vacancies. According to the data of the State Data Agency, the number of vacancies in the country

in Q3 was the highest since the data calculation began in 2008. – 28.1 thousand, indicating increased tension in the labor market.

Transport and storage activities offered the largest number of vacancies - a fifth. According to Eurostat's demographic forecasts in

June, from 2025 mainly due to the negative natural population change, the number of the working-age population in Lithuania will

start to decrease. Due to the decreasing supply of workers, there will be little room for the number of employed population to grow.

In 2024, with the recovery of economic activity, the growth of the employed population is expected to be 0.3%, and in 2025-2026.

no growth is expected (a decrease of 0.1 and 0.2% is expected, respectively).

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 61

The overview of the development and prospects of the Lithuanian economy presented by the Bank of Lithuania states that the

development of the Lithuanian economy will be sluggish in the near future. Due to the worse international economic environment,

economic growth in 2024 will depend heavily on domestic demand. It is expected that the real income of the population will rise

significantly, so there will be room for private consumption to increase. It is true that the dynamics of consumption will also depend

on the mood of the population. If the population remains cautious, then consumption may rise less than currently predicted. It is

expected that the economic activity will be further increased by investments, as funds from the EU support funds should continue

to increase. It is true that investments are not expected to grow as much as this year. It is predicted that the real GDP in 2024 will

grow by 1.8%. Inflationary pressures are also expected to ease further. One of the main reasons for this is the reduced pressure

from external factors (for example, the prices of energy resources). Less and less pressure also comes from domestic economic

development. Although (nominal) labour costs are growing rapidly and this has an increasing effect on prices, the increase in these

costs is starting to slow down. The prices of services, which are mostly related to the state of the domestic economy, are also rising

less and less. It is expected that in 2023 8.7% according to the HICP, the average annual inflation next year will be 2.5%.

According to the Chamber of Agriculture, almost €4 billion of EU support is foreseen for Lithuania’s agriculture and rural development

for the period 2023−2027, and around €276.5 million will come from the national budget. €3.02 billion of EU funds and around

€2.8 million of national funding are planned for direct support, eco-schemes for the climate, environment, and animal welfare, and

sectoral programmes. €977.5 million of EU funding and €273.7 million of national funding are earmarked for investment,

cooperation, environmental, climate, and other rural development measures. The average annual amount of direct payments

increased by around 28% compared to the previous financial period. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, as of 2023, a 100%

cap on base payments will be applied to amounts above €100 thousand, with the possibility to withhold salaries and related taxes.

According to preliminary estimates by the State Data Agency, the value of agricultural production at current prices decreased by

3.1% in 2023 (compared to 2022). The value of crop production decreased by 5.2%, and the value of livestock products increased

by 1.3%. The purchase prices of crop products decreased by 24.4%, purchase prices of livestock products – 9.8%. The purchase

prices for rapeseed, legumes, cereals (respectively 31.2%, 30.4% and 26.7 %), for livestock products – milk (28.3 proc.) and cattle

(5.2%) decreased the most. According to the preliminary data, harvest of winter barley (21.8%), sugar beet (20.0%), oats (8.8%)

saw the largest increases in 2023. This is due to increased yields and/or increased crop area. Corn (18.1%), buckwheat (14.8%),

and winter rapeseed (10.5%) were the most affected by the decrease of fertility and (or) in crop area.

Looking at longer-term trends, the agricultural sector remains stable. Operational efficiency in the country is increasing. Crop yields

have almost doubled over 10 years. There has been a significant increase in value added by the sector. This is supported by

investments in agricultural techniques, the expansion of farms, and the development and adaptation of knowledge and new

technologies for the modernisation of agriculture. Over the last decade, agriculture, food, and rural development have received

significant support from the European Union’s Structural Funds which continues to grow. The increase in the support provided

usually results in an increase in the price of land and in the price of land leases.

The growth of prices of agricultural land continues to be significantly affected by 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 value of plots of agricultural land is 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 groups 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

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 62

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 2023, the value of the land plots has increased in the course of the

year by 14.7% and reached EUR 20.76 million. One hectare is valuated on average at EUR 6.74 thousand (divided by the total

amount).

The following graph shows the difference of prices of agricultural land in Lithuania by region:

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. The Company is not committed to climate change goals, but it assesses and, if necessary, takes appropriate

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 65

territory of the Republic of Lithuania, cases of bribery of foreign officials when concluding international business transactions are

not relevant.

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.

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 protect 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.

On 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

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 66

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

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

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 67

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.

Market-related risks

Market risk

Shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland bear the risk of incurring losses due to adverse changes in the

market price of the shares. The stock price drop may be caused by negative changes in assets value and profitability of the Company,

general stock market trends in the region and the world. Trading of shares of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland

may depend on comments of the brokers and analysts and published independent analyzes of the Company and its activities. The

unfavourable analysts' outlook of the shares of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland may adversely affect the market

price of the shares. Non-professional investors assessing the shares are advised to seek the assistance of intermediaries of public

trading or other experts in this field.

Liquidity risk

If demand for shares decreases or they are deleted from the stock exchange, investors will face the problem of realization of shares.

If the financial situation of the public joint-stock company's INVL Baltic Farmland deteriorates, the demand for Company's shares

may drop, which will lead to fall in share price.

Dividend payment risk

Dividend payment to the shareholders of the public joint-stock company INVL Baltic Farmland is not guaranteed and will depend on

the profitability, investment plans and the overall financial situation of the Company.

Tax and legal risk

Changes in the equity-related legislation or state tax policy can change shares attractiveness of the public joint-stock company

INVL Baltic Farmland. This may reduce the liquidity of the shares of the Company and/or price.

Inflation risk

When inflation increases, the risk, that the stock price change may not offset the current rate of inflation, appears. In this case, the

real returns from capital gain on market shares for traders may be less than expected.

16.3. The main indications about internal control and risk management systems related to the

preparation of consolidated financial statements

The Audit Committee supervises preparation of the consolidated financial statements, systems of internal control and financial risk

management and how the Company follows legal acts that regulate preparation of consolidated financial statements.

The Company is responsible for the supervision and final review of the consolidated financial statements. To order to manage these

functions properly, the Company is using an external provider of relevant services (Invalda INVL, AB). The Company, together with

IFRS changes, analyses Company’s and group’s significant deals, ensures collecting information from the group’s companies and

22. Estimation of Issuer’s and Group’s activity last year and activity plans and forecasts

22.1. Evaluation of implementation of goals for 2023

The initial forecast of INVL Baltic Farmland for year 2023 was income of EUR 790 thousand and net profit of EUR 365 thousand.

INVL Baltic Farmland had revenue of EUR 794 thousand in 2023 and earned unaudited net profit of EUR 2,643 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 14.7% to EUR 20.76 million compared to previous year, or EUR 6.74.87

thousand per hectare Excluding these non-estimated factors and the related income tax expense, INVL Baltic Farmland's profit

would be EUR 395 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 2023.

body.

INVL BALTIC FARMLAND, AB

ANNUAL REPORT OF 2023 | 82

committees (particularly those related

to their role, operation and

transparency) should apply, where relevant, to the collegial body as a

whole.

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 performa

nce on a regular basis.

and duties should be made public at least once a year (as part of the

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of INVL Baltic Farmland AB

Report on the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements

consolidated and separate financial position of INVL Baltic Farmland AB (the “Company”) and its

subsidiaries (together - the “Group”) as at 31 December 2023, and of the Group’s and of the

Company’s consolidated and separate financial performance and consolidated and separate cash

flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as

adopted by the European Union.

Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee dated 29 February 2024.

What we have audited

The Group’s consolidated and the Company’s and separate financial statements comprise:

● the consolidated and Company’s statements of comprehensive income for the year ended 31

December 2023;

● the consolidated and Company’s statements of financial position as at 31 December 2023;

● the consolidated and Company’s statements of cash flows for the year then ended; and

● the notes to the consolidated and Company’s financial statements, comprising material accounting

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our

responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the

audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group and the Company in accordance with the International Code of

Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the

International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) and the Law of the Republic of

Lithuania on the Audit of Financial Statements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated and

Company’s financial statements in the Republic of Lithuania. We have fulfilled our other ethical

responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on the

Audit of Financial Statements.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services that we have provided to

the Group and the Company are in accordance with the applicable law and regulations in the Republic

of Lithuania and that we have not provided non-audit services that are prohibited under Article 5(1) of

Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 considering the exemptions of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 endorsed

in the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on the Audit of Financial Statements.

No non-audit services were provided to the Group and the Company, in the period from 1

January 2023 to 31 December 2023.

Our audit approach

Overview

● Overall Group and Company materiality: €182 thousand and €182

thousand, representing 1% of total equity of the Group and the

Company, respectively.

● Our audit covered all reporting units within the Group.

● Our audit scope covered all of the Group’s revenues and all the

Group’s total assets.

● Valuation of investment properties

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the consolidated and Company’s financial statements (together “the financial

statements”). In particular we considered where management made subjective judgements; for

example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and

considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the

risk of management override of internal controls, including, among other matters, consideration of

whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall Group and Company materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out

in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope

of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of

misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.

Overall Group and Company

materiality

Overall materiality applied to the Group and the Company

amounted to € 182 thousand and € 182 thousand (2022:

€ 161 thousand and € 161 thousand), respectively.

How we determined it

1% of total equity of the Group and the Company,

respectively.

Rationale for the materiality

benchmark applied

We chose the Group’s and the Company’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

Materiality

Group

scoping

Key audit

matters

benchmark. The key driver of the business and determinant

of the Group’s and the Company’s value is investments into

various properties. For this reason, the key area of focus in

the audit of the financial statements of the Group and the

Company is the valuation of investment properties.

Accordingly, an overall Group and Company materiality was

based on total equity.

We chose 1 %, which is within the range of acceptable

quantitative materiality thresholds.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our

audit above € 18.2 thousand, the same for the Group and the Company, as well as misstatements

below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in

our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the

context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we

do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of investment properties

Refer to Notes 2.13 and 11 to the financial

statements on pages 16 and 27, 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 € 20,756 thousand at 31 December 2023,

as compared to € 18,092 thousand at 31

December 2022.

Net gain from fair value adjustments on

investment property amounts to € 2,664

thousand (2022: € 1,572 thousand) and net

gain from sale of investment property to € 0

(2022: € 350 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

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. We considered if the valuations

used by the Group were within an acceptable

range as concluded by our audit procedures. We

also considered whether or not there was bias in

determining individual valuations.

the conclusions are dependent upon significant

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 finally assessed if the key assumptions were

supported by the available evidence and the

disclosures in Note 11 to be appropriate.

How we tailored our Group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an

opinion on the consolidated the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of

the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

The Group comprises of 18 entities: the Company and its subsidiaries, all located in Lithuania. All

entities were audited by one engagement team in Lithuania. The group audit team performed full

scope audit procedures on the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Reporting on other information including the consolidated annual report

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

consolidated annual report, including the corporate governance report and the remuneration report

(but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon).

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, including the

consolidated annual report.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially

inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears

to be materially misstated.

With respect to the consolidated annual report, we considered whether the consolidated annual report

includes the disclosures required by the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Consolidated Reporting

by Groups of Undertakings, the Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Reporting by Undertakings.

Based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:

● the information given in the consolidated annual report for the financial year for which the financial

statements are prepared, is consistent with the financial statements; and

● the consolidated annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Law of the Republic of

Lithuania on Consolidated Reporting by Groups of Undertakings and the Law of the Republic of

Lithuania on Reporting by Undertakings.

In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Company and their

environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material

misstatements in the consolidated annual report which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s

report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial

statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair

view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European

Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or

error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the

Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to

liquidate the Group and the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do

so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s and the Company’s

financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole

are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that

an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain

professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

● Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to

fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit

evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not

detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,

as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override

of internal control.

● Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Company’s internal control.

● Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting

estimates and related disclosures made by management.

● Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting

and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events

or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue

as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw

attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such

disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit

evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may

cause the Group and the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

● Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and

events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

● Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or

business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial

statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit.

We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned

scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in

internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant

ethical requirements regarding independence, and have communicated with them all relationships and

other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,

actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters

that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are

therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or

regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we

determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse

consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of

such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Report on the compliance of the format of the consolidated financial statements with the

requirements of the European Single Electronic Reporting Format

We have been engaged based on the amendment to our audit agreement by the management of the

Company to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the

applicable requirements of the European single electronic reporting format of the Group’s consolidated

financial statements, including the consolidated annual report, for the year ended 31 December 2023

(the “Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements”).

Description of a subject matter and applicable criteria

The Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements has been applied by

the management of the Company to comply with the requirements of art. 3 and 4 of the Commission

Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of

the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the

specification of a single electronic reporting format (the “ESEF Regulation”). The applicable

requirements regarding the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial

statements are contained in the ESEF Regulation.

The requirements described in the preceding sentence determine the basis for application of the

Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements and, in our view,

constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.

Responsibility of the management and those charged with governance

The management of the Company is responsible for the application of the Single Electronic Reporting

Format of the consolidated financial statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF

Regulation.

This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using ESEF

taxonomy and designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation

of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements which is free from

material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process, which

should also be understood as the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the format

resulting from the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility was to express a reasonable assurance conclusion whether the Single Electronic

Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements complies, in all material aspects, with the

ESEF Regulation.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance

Engagements 3000 (Revised) ‘Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical

Financial Information’ (“ISAE 3000 (R)”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical

requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Single

Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements complies, in all material aspects,

with the applicable requirements.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service

performed in accordance ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect the existing material misstatement

(significant non-compliance with the requirements).

Summary of the work performed

Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the

Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material

aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material

errors or omissions. Our procedures included in particular:

• obtaining an understanding of the internal control system and processes relevant to the

application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements,

including the preparation of the XHTML format and marking up the consolidated financial

statements;

• verification whether the XHTML format was applied properly;

• evaluating the completeness of marking up the consolidated financial statements using the iXBRL

markup language according to the requirements of the implementation of single electronic format

as described in the ESEF Regulation;

• evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s use of XBRL markups selected from the ESEF

taxonomy and the creation of extension markups where no suitable element in the ESEF

taxonomy has been identified; and

• evaluating the appropriateness of anchoring of the extension elements to the ESEF taxonomy.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our

conclusion.

Conclusion

In our opinion, the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements for the

year ended 31 December 2023 complies, in all material aspects, with the ESEF Regulation.

Report on the compliance of the format of the separate financial statements with the

requirements of the European Single Electronic Reporting Format

The European single electronic reporting format has been applied by the management of the

Company to the Company’s financial statements to comply with the requirements of Article 3 of

Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive

2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical

standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the “ESEF Regulation”). These

requirements specify the Company’s obligation to prepare its financial statements in a XHTML format.

We confirm that the European single electronic reporting format of the financial statements for the year

ended 31 December 2023 complies with the ESEF Regulation in this respect.
