II. Accounting Policy
II. Accounting Policy
| 13
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1. Investment entity and principles of preparation of financial statements
Investment entity
Investors of the Company hold equity securities issued by the Company which are ordinary registered shares. The Company's management
concludes that the Company is an investment entity, regardless of its legal status, i.e., a limited liability company up until 16 December 2020
or closed-end company since 16 December 2020 up until the date of these financial statements, as it has three main components of the
definition of an investment entity:
- Obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services
(investment services condition);
- Commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment
income, or both (business purpose condition);
- Measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all its investments on a fair value basis (fair value condition).
Management has assessed that it complies with investment services condition as the Company’s solely goal is to collect pool of funds from
different investors and to provide returns from capital appreciation.
Subsidiaries
The Company has two types of subsidiaries. One type of subsidiary is a controlled subsidiary (hereinafter referred to as unconsolidated
subsidiary). In consolidated financial statements unconsolidated subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are not
consolidated in accordance with IFRS 10. Change of fair value of investment in a controlled subsidiary is recognized in statement of profit
or loss, the value is determined consistently with the fair value measurement principles as described in the accounting policy paragraph 12.
In separate financial statements investments in controlled subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Second type of subsidiaries provide investment related services (investment advisory services, investment management services) to
investors and third parties (hereinafter referred to as consolidated subsidiary). They themselves are not investment subjects. In assessing
whether it meets the definition of an investment entity, the Company assesses whether the provision of services to third parties is a
secondary activity in relation to its main investment activity. In consolidated financial statements investments in subsidiaries that provide
services related to the Company's investment activities are consolidated. In separate financial statements investments in subsidiaries that
provide services related to the Company’s investment activities are measured at cost, less impairment losses, if any. At the end of each
financial year, Management Company of the Company, determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the subsidiary
is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount
of the subsidiary and its carrying value, and then recognizes the loss in the separate Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income for the period in which they are incurred.
Associates
Associates are described as entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control. In consolidated financial
statements and separate financial statements, investments in associates that are part of the Company's investment portfolio are measured
at fair value through profit or loss, regardless of the Company having a significant influence on such entities.
Principles of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the
European Union (EU). These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with all effective requirements of IFRS
as at 31 December 2022.
The Company’s financial books and records are maintained separately from those of the Management Company according to the approved
chart of accounts. The Company should be in compliance with the Law on Collective Investment Undertakings Intended for Informed
Investors of the Republic of Lithuania (LCIUII).
II. Accounting Policy
| 14
The financial statements are prepared based on the going concern principle and the assumption of continued operations in the near future.
According to the Company’s Prospectus and Articles of Association, the Company will operate until 5 February 2026 with the possibility of
extending its activities for another 2 years.
The values of the Company’s assets and liabilities, as well as all amounts shown in the financial statements are presented in euros.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the official exchange rate of the Bank of Lithuania valid at the date of the
transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. Such balances are translated at the exchange rate at the end of
the reporting period.
2. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary (hereinafter – the Group) as at
31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021. The consolidated financial statements only include financial statements of subsidiary that is
not an investment entity and whose main purpose and activities are providing services that relate to the investment entity’s projects
management activities.
The Company is considered to have control when:
- Has the power to manage the investee;
- Is entitled to a variable return on investment; and
- Has the power to affect return on investment.
The Company reassesses whether it controls an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate a change in one or more of the three
elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company acquires control of the subsidiary and ends when the Company loses control of
the subsidiary. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other
Comprehensive income from the date on which the Company obtains control until the date that the Company ceases to control the
subsidiary.
Where necessary, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
All the Group’s assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows related to transactions between Group members are
eliminated on consolidation.
Changes in the Group's share in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying
amounts of the Group and minority interests are adjusted to reflect changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries. Any difference between
the amount by which the minority interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity
and attributed to the owners of the Group.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognized in profit or loss is calculated as the difference between
(i) the fair value of the consideration received and the Group's interest in the entity after the transaction and (ii) the previous carrying amount
of assets (including goodwill) minus the liabilities of the subsidiary and minority interests. All amounts previously recognized in other
comprehensive income relating to a subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly transferred the related asset or liability of the
subsidiary (i.e., reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as required / permitted by applicable IFRS). Any
investment retained in a former subsidiary after the transfer of ownership of the subsidiary is carried at fair value on initial recognition in
accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, or at cost of an associate.
IFRS 10 sets out principles of consolidation for investment entities. In its consolidated financial statements, an investment entity shall:
- consolidate any subsidiary that is not an investment entity and whose main purpose and activities are providing services that
relate to the investment entity’s investment activities and apply the requirements of IFRS 3 to the acquisition of any such
subsidiary; and
- measure all other investments in a subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.
3. Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the
consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree.
II. Accounting Policy
| 15
For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in
administrative expenses.
Assets acquired and arising liabilities at the acquisition date are recognized at fair value, except for:
- Deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination is measured
and recognized in accordance with IAS 12 "Income taxes";
- Liabilities (or assets, if any) related to the acquiree’s employee benefit arrangements is measured and recognized in accordance
with IAS 19 "Employee benefits";
- Liabilities or equity instruments related to payments for the acquiree's shares or payments for shares made to replace the
acquiree's share-based payments are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based Payment" at the time of acquisition;
- Assets that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations". Such assets are measured in accordance with IFRS 5.
Lease liabilities arising as at acquisition date are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments in accordance with IFRS
16, as if the acquired leases were new leases at the acquisition date. Right-of-use assets acquired at the acquisition date are measured at
the same amount as the lease liabilities, adjusted to reflect favourable or unfavourable terms of the leases when compared with market
terms.
The Company determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive
process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical
to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge,
or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or
scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.
When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and
designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances, and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for
non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of
the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Company re-assesses whether it has correctly identified
all the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the
acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration
transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.
Goodwill is not amortized but it is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each cash-
generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) of the Company. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested
for impairment annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of a cash-
generating unit is less than it carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to
the unit and then to other assets in proportion to its carrying amount. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed in a subsequent
period. When a cash-generating unit is sold, the amount of goodwill allocated is included in determining the gain or loss on sale.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the
Group presents preliminary amounts for items for which the accounting is incomplete. These provisional amounts are adjusted during the
measurement period or additional assets or liabilities are recognized to reflect new information received about facts and circumstances
that existed at the acquisition date that would have affected the amounts recognized at the acquisition date.
When the Group acquires shares of a new entities, management considers the substance of the assets and activities of the acquired entity
in determining whether the acquisition represents the acquisition of a business or assets. Where acquisitions of shares of new entities are
not determined to be an acquisition of a business, they are not treated as business combinations, but as asset acquisitions.
4. Income recognition
The Group's financial income include interest income and increases in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Interest income is accrued over the period, taking into account the outstanding portion and the applicable effective interest rate, which
accurately discounts the estimated future cash inflows over the estimated useful life of the financial asset to its net carrying amount.
II. Accounting Policy
| 16
5. Expense recognition
Expenses are decreases in assets, or increases in liabilities, that result in decreases in equity. Expenses are recognised on an accrual basis
as they are recognized when incurred, regardless of when the cash is disbursed. The cost is usually estimated by the amount of money paid
or payable, excluding VAT. In cases where a long (over 1 year) settlement period and interest are not allocated, the cost is estimated by
discounting the settlement amount at the market interest rate.
The Company’s Management Fee, Depository service fees, auditors’ fees, Company’s incorporation (business structuring) costs, investment
object acquisition, management and sale costs, costs of financial institutions, remuneration to the Company’s property valuators,
Company’s accounting, fees of NAV calculation and share value determination services, currency exchange fees, costs of hedging with
currency exchange and interest rate swaps, litigation costs, costs related to loans obtained on behalf of the Company exceeding income
from loans granted on behalf of the Company to its SPV, fees for the management of the Company’s securities and other accounts, fees
for the safekeeping of the Company’s securities, fees for the management of the Shareholders’ personal securities accounts, costs of
execution, registration and deregistration of security instruments, costs of enforced recovery, state and municipal fees and charges, costs
of preparation, translation and presentation of information on the Company, costs of preparation and revision of the Articles of Association,
the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document, consultancy costs, notary fees, costs of registration and legal services, costs
of insurance for the persons of the Management Company responsible for the Company’s activities, costs incurred by the Investment
Committee in connection with the Company’s activities, and the Company’s presentation costs shall be covered from the Company’s assets.
All deductions to the Management entity and the depository are recognized on accrual basis.
6. Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if
the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount because of past service provided by the employee and the
obligation can be estimated reliably.
7. Income tax
The calculation of income tax is based on the annual profit, considering the deferred income tax. Income tax is calculated in accordance
with the requirements of the tax laws of the Republic of Lithuania.
The corporate income tax rate applicable to companies of the Republic of Lithuania is 15%.
Tax losses may be carried forward for an indefinite period, except for losses arising from the transfer of securities and / or derivatives. Such
a transfer is terminated if the Company ceases to carry on the activities that caused the loss unless the Company ceases to carry on the
activities for reasons beyond its control. Losses from the transfer of securities and / or derivatives can be carried forward for 5 years and
covered only from the profit of the same type of transactions. The amount of deductible tax losses carried forward may not exceed 70% of
the amount of taxable profit for the reporting year.
Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled,
based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized in the statement of financial position to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be
available against which the asset can be utilized. If it is probable that part of the deferred tax will not be realized, this part of the deferred tax
is not recognized in the financial statements.
Based on the provisions of the Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Republic of Lithuania, income of collective investment undertakings is
non-taxable, and expenses are non-deductible accordingly.
8. Issued capital
The Company classifies financial instruments issued as financial liabilities or equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the
contractual terms of the instruments.
II. Accounting Policy
| 17
Some financial instruments include a contractual obligation for the issuing entity to deliver to another entity a pro rata share of its net assets
only on liquidation based on the IAS 32. The obligation arises because liquidation either is certain to occur and outside the control of the
entity (for example, a limited life entity) or is uncertain to occur but is at the option of the instrument holder. As an exception to the definition
of a financial liability, an instrument that includes such an obligation is classified as an equity instrument if it has all the following features:
a) It entitles the holder to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets in the event of the entity’s liquidation. The entity’s net assets are
those assets that remain after deducting all other claims on its assets. A pro rata share is determined by:
- dividing the net assets of the entity on liquidation into units of equal amount; and
- multiplying that amount by the number of the units held by the financial instrument holder.
b) The instrument is in the class of instruments that is subordinate to all other classes of instruments. To be in such a class the
instrument:
- has no priority over other claims to the assets of the entity on liquidation, and
- does not need to be converted into another instrument before it is in the class of instruments that is subordinate to all other
classes of instruments.
c) All financial instruments in the class of instruments that is subordinate to all other classes of instruments must have an identical
contractual obligation for the issuing entity to deliver a pro rata share of its net assets on liquidation.
Further, for an instrument to be classified as an equity instrument, in addition to the instrument having all the above features, the issuer
must have no other financial instrument or contract that has:
a) total cash flows based substantially on the profit or loss, the change in the recognised net assets or the change in the fair value
of the recognised and unrecognised net assets of the entity (excluding any effects of such instrument or contract); and
b) the effect of substantially restricting or fixing the residual return to the instrument holders.
For the purposes of applying this condition, the Company shall not consider non-financial contracts with a holder of an instrument described
in paragraphs above that have contractual terms and conditions that are like the contractual terms and conditions of an equivalent contract
that might occur between a non-instrument holder and the issuing entity. If the entity cannot determine that this condition is met, it shall not
classify the instrument as an equity instrument.
Respectively, the Company does not hold any other instruments that would meet the criteria described above, as the Company only issued
equal shares which shall be redeemed upon the liquidation. Redemption of the shares as at liquidation date does not have any restrictions
as all the remaining funds shall be distributed to the Shareholders by principles applied in the paragraphs above. Finally, no other side
contracts, beside the share purchase agreements exist between the Company and the Shareholders.
The Company's shares meet the conditions listed above and all the shares are classified as equity, since all amount of the equity is subject
to repurchase that entity will make in the future – carrying amount attributable to single class of owners.
The redemption of the Company's shares is restricted. During the period of operation of the Company, the shares of the Company are held
by the Shareholders and will not be redeemed on demand. The shares will be redeemable at the Company's general meeting of Shareholders
by the decision of the meeting in proportion to all Shareholders. The Company's shares are also redeemed during the Company's liquidation
procedure.
The Company's shares may be redeemed during the Company's operations if:
- the Company has free funds that it does not intend to invest in;
- the decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders to reduce the issued capital of the Company and to pay out funds to the
Shareholders or the Company to acquire its own shares.
Upon payment of the Company's funds to the Shareholders, the Company's funds are paid to the Shareholders in accordance with the
procedure for reduction of the issued. After the reduction of issued capital Shareholders are paid an amount proportional to the par value of
their shares.
When the liquidation of the Company is carried out, the shares shall be redeemed by distribution during the liquidation procedure Company's
assets remaining after settlement with the Company's creditors to the Shareholders. The distribution of assets is performed by liquidator
of the Company, who may be appointed as the management Company.
In order to pay free funds to the Shareholders during the period of operation of the Company, in accordance with the relevant resolution of
the General Meeting of Shareholders, in accordance with the procedure, the Company may arrange and carry out the acquisition of its own
shares from the Shareholders.
The total nominal value of the acquired shares together with the nominal value of shares already held may not be greater than 1/10 of the
issued capital. The Company ensures equal opportunities for all Shareholders to transfer to the Company of shares. The maximum and
minimum purchase price of the shares, considering the last calculated NAV is determined by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The term
II. Accounting Policy
| 18
within which the Company may acquire own Shares may not exceed 12 months. Resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders
regarding the acquisition of shares may be cancelled by another decision of the General Meeting of Shareholders, if the market special
circumstances arise, such as the economic crisis, the deterioration of the Company's operating conditions, geopolitical shocks etc.
The current amount of equity represents the amount that would be paid to shareholders if redemption or repurchase is executed as of
reporting date. The value of the financial instruments is determined by incorporation of fair value of investment instruments where
discounted cash flow valuation techniques are used.
9. Financial assets
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets are recognized into accounting records when the Company grants or acquires the right to receive cash or other financial
assets. Planned transactions, guarantees and warranties obtained are not recognised as the Company’s assets until they comply with the
definition of financial assets. The Company initially recognises regular-way transactions in financial assets at fair value on the trade date,
which is the date on which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Other financial assets are
recognised on the date on which they are originated.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial asset at amortised cost, financial assets at fair value through
other comprehensive income, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
After initial recognition, financial assets are classified into the afore-mentioned categories based on the business model the Company
applies when managing its financial assets. The business model applied to the group of financial assets is determined at a level that reflects
how all groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective of the Company The intentions of the
Company’s management regarding separate instruments have no effect on the applied business model. The Group may apply more than
one business model to manage its financial assets.
The business model for managing financial assets is a matter of fact and not merely an assertion. It is typically observable through the
activities that the Company undertakes to achieve the objective of the business model. In determining the business model applicable for
managing financial assets, the Company justifies its decision not by a single factor or activity, but in view of all relevant evidence that is
available at the date of the assessment.
The Company recognises a financial asset in its statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument. The purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade
date accounting.
At initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets at fair value, except for trade receivables that do not have a significant
financing component. At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not
at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs comprise all charges and commission that the Company would not have paid if it had not entered into an agreement on
the financial instrument.
Subsequent measurement
For the purpose of financial measurement financial assets are classified into the following categories:
- financial assets at amortised cost;
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
- financial assets at fair value through comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
The Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
a) the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash
flows;
b) the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal amount outstanding.
II. Accounting Policy
| 19
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment.
Interest rate revenue is recognized using the EIR and gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised,
modified, or impaired.
As the business model for the Company‘s other financial assets (except investments assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
(next section)) is held to collect contractual cash flows and they are solely payments of principal and interest, other financial assets are
measured at amortised cost. They comprised trade and other receivables, cash, and cash equivalents.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are
measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is calculated using the effective interest rate method and presented
as “other income” in the statement of comprehensive income. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or
loss. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Group holds restricted cash to provide bank guarantees and to confirm that subsidiaries would perform their obligations under
agreements related with investing in solar and wind farm infrastructure (refer to Note 3). Restricted cash refers to cash and cash equivalents
balances held by the Group that are not available for general use by the Group. Restricted cash to provide financial guarantees is
subsequently measured at amortised cost and is subject to impairment.
For the year ended 31 December 2022, financial assets subsequently measured at amortised cost include restricted cash for guarantees,
prepayments, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss
The Company has three main components of the definition of an investment entity, therefore is an investment entity since it was established
and according to the IFRS 10 measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all its investments on a fair value basis (fair value
condition).
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial
recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. The mandatory
classification includes:
- financial assets that are held in a business model other than held to collect contractual cash flows, including those, that are
classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term;
- financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value
through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Company’s solely goal is to collect pool of funds from different investors and to provide returns from capital appreciation. The business
model of the Company is to manage investment into subsidiaries together with loans granted to subsidiaries as one portfolio and evaluate
their performance on a combined fair value basis. Therefore, the portfolio is neither held to collect contractual cash flows nor held both to
collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets. Consequently, such portfolio of financial assets is measured at fair value through
profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair
value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
IFRS 13 sets out a list of valuation approaches and techniques that can be used in order to determine fair value of a financial instrument.
Valuation approaches include market approach, income approach and combinations of approaches. Market approaches include valuations
techniques like transaction price paid for an identical or a similar instrument of an investee and comparable company valuation multiples
technique. Income approach includes valuation techniques like discounted cash flows method, dividend discount model, capitalisation
model. An example of combination of approaches is adjusted net asset method.
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Company has investments in equity and debt instruments of subsidiaries and
associated that are recognized and subsequently measured at fair value. The fair value of investments is determined based on valuation
reports prepared by independent assessor that uses income and asset approaches. As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, the
Company also has other receivables that are measured at fair value which is determined using income approach and discounted cash flow
valuation method.
Loans and receivables are classified as current assets unless they have a maturity of more than 12 months after the statement of financial
position date. In the latter case, they are classified as non-current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The term of
such investments does not exceed three months and the risk of changes in value is very small. The carrying amount of this asset
approximates its fair value.
II. Accounting Policy

Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when:
- the rights to cash flows of the asset have expired;
- the Company has retained the right to the cash flows but has undertaken to pay the full amount to a third party under the
assignment agreement within a short period of time;
- the Company has transferred its right to receive cash inflows from the assets or has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership but has transferred control of the assets.
When the Company transfers rights to the cash flows of an asset but neither transfers nor retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset and does not transfer control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent that the Company is still a party to the asset.
Impairment of financial assets
Impairment requirements are applied to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for all financial instruments for which there have been
significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since
initial recognition, an entity measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit
losses (ECL).
The Management Company constantly monitors the Company’s risk profile, indicators, and its compliance with intended limits.
For the Investment assets at fair value through profit or loss, other receivables, the Company applies the low credit risk simplification. At
reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the debt instruments are considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort. The Company considers that there has been significant increase in
credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due. The Company’s Investment assets at fair value through profit or
loss comprise of acquired subsidiaries and associate’s bonds, granted loans to subsidiaries and associates.
The Company considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the
Company may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Company is unlikely
to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Company.
The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss 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.
The Group uses the following models to determine impairment losses:
- general model (basic);
- simplified model for trade receivables.
ECL is calculated using the “three-stage” model (the “general model”) for impairment:
Stage 1
Includes financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or that have low credit risk at the
reporting date. For these assets, 12-month 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.
Stage 2
Includes financial instruments that have had a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition (unless they have low credit
risk at the reporting date) but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. For these assets, lifetime ECL are recognised, but interest
revenue is still calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset. Lifetime ECL are the expected credit losses that result from all possible
default events over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Stage 3
Includes financial assets that have objective evidence of default at the reporting date. For these assets, life of ECL and interest income are
calculated on the net carrying amount. ECL for trade receivables which do not have a significant financial component is stated over all debt
period. The Group applies a simplified model for impairment of trade receivables.
II. Accounting Policy
| 21
For trade and other receivables, prepayments, 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 and other receivables, prepayments are classified either to Stage 2 or Stage 3. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held
with well-established credit institutions with a low credit risk profile and classified in stage 1.
10. Financial liabilities
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 transaction costs that are directly attributable to issuing the financial liability.
The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value. The effective interest method
is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where
appropriate) a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest rate expenses are recognized using the EIR.
For the year ended 31 December 2022, financial liabilities subsequently measured at amortised cost include bonds issued, loans received,
trade and other payables. For the year ended 31 December 2022, the Group does not have financial liabilities measured at fair value through
profit or loss.
Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers.
Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business
if longer). Financial liabilities included in trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The fair
value of a non-interest-bearing liability is its discounted repayment amount. If the due date of the liability is less than one year, discounting
is omitted.
Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the
Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting year.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. When one existing financial liability is replaced
by another liability to the same lender but on different terms, or when the terms of an existing liability are substantially changed, such a
change is treated as a termination of the original liability and the creation of a new liability. The difference between the respective carrying
amounts is recognized in the income statement.
11. Methods and assumptions of asset and liability estimates, periodicity of
investment revaluation
The financial statements include the fair value of the Company's assets at the end of the reporting year.
The fair value hierarchy based on IFRS 13 is used to determine fair value in a more consistent and comparable manner. All assets and
liabilities whose fair value is determined or disclosed in the financial statements are classified according to a fair value hierarchy based on
the significant lowest level data used to determine fair value:
- Level 1 – the same assets or liabilities quoted (unadjusted prices in active markets);
- Level 2 – valuation techniques that directly or indirectly monitor the lowest level inputs that are significant in determining fair
value;
- Level 3 – valuation techniques that do not observe the lowest level inputs that are significant in determining fair value.
II. Accounting Policy
| 22
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers
have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 the carrying amount of the Company's assets and liabilities is close to their fair value –
Level 3 valuation methodology.
Investments in equity and debt instruments that are not traded on trading venues are valued based on the valuation carried out by an
independent business valuator entitled to practice this activity. Equity and debt instruments that are not traded on trading venues are valued
at least once per year provided that no material economic changes that require a new valuation have occurred.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents in credit institutions is equal to their nominal value.
Methods, process, and inputs for valuation of financial assets
Fair value of the Company's financial assets is determined based on the valuation reports submitted by the independent business assessor
who has the right to carry out a valuation and meets the criteria laid down in the Company’s incorporation documents.
The fair value of the Company's investments in equity and debts instruments is measured by an aggregated basis. Fair value measurement
when an investment entity holds both debt and equity shares in investee – the Company is an investment entity as defined in IFRS 10.
Among other investments, it holds both a controlling interest in equity shares and a debt instrument issued by the subsidiaries. From a
business strategy perspective, and in a manner consistent with standard practice in its industry, The Company evaluates the performance
of its investments in subsidiaries and makes acquisition and disposal decisions on an aggregate basis rather than by considering the shares
and debt separately. When it holds both a controlling interest in the shares of a subsidiary and debt issued by that subsidiary, the Company
rarely, if ever, disposes of one instrument without also disposing of the other as this ensures that its return on investment is maximised.
Neither the debt nor the equity shares are traded in an active market.
In the specific circumstances described above (subsidiary interest and debt), measuring the interest in shares and debt as a single unit of
measurement would be appropriate. Such a transaction might involve Companying assets in a way in which market participants would enter
a transaction, if the unit of account in other IFRS does not prohibit that Companying. Because IFRS 9 does not specifically prohibit
measurement of the instruments on an aggregate basis, it is appropriate to consider how fair value would be maximised. In the
circumstances described, this may be through disposal of all the Company's interests in subsidiaries if this is how market participants would
transact.
Since the Group measures the fair value of its investments in a subsidiary on an aggregated basis, aggregated fair value is allocated to the
individual financial instruments. The allocation of the aggregated fair value of the subsidiary is allocated to the Group's investments in equity
and debt instruments issued by the subsidiaries and associated in the following manner:
- Independent assessors that prepare valuation reports based on which fair value of investments is determined calculate market
value of the business;
- Methods that are used to determine market value of subsidiaries and associates of the Company are as follows:
- Income Approach;
- Asset Approach.
- Valuation method of income approach is applied when the equity value is related to generation of future positive income streams.
The underlying assumption of income approach is that an investor in a business will not pay more than the present value of future
income streams that the business will generate. The present value of the business is assessed by discounting a series of future
expected income streams to present value or by capitalizing a single current, historic or projected level of annual income.
- Valuation method of asset approach is applied when the value of a business is determined not so much by the activities carried
out as by the assets held. Under this approach, the value of a business is determined by deducting liabilities from the company's
assets, where both assets and liabilities are adjusted to their market values.
- In the valuation report dated 23 December 2022 with the valuation of assets as of 31 October 2022, income approach was
selected by an independent appraiser as a valuation method for investments in subsidiaries Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o., PV
Energy Projects sp. z o. o., PL Sun sp. z o. o. and associates UAB Žaliosios investicijos and UAB Saulės energijos projektai. Income
approach and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was selected by an independent appraiser for the valuation of investments in
mentioned subsidiaries and associates as development of projects of these entities were started, were in further development
stages and for some operating activities already started. Net asset approach was selected as a valuation method for investments
in subsidiaries UAB Atelda, UAB Rineila, UAB Nimela, UAB JTPG, UAB AEI Development and associates UAB Ekoelektra, UAB KNT
Holding and Zaļais Spēks SIA. Net asset approach was selected by an independent appraiser for the valuation of investments in
II. Accounting Policy
| 23
mentioned subsidiaries and associates as entities did not have significant operations or their projects were at an early stage of
development at valuation date. Valuation assumptions and sensitivity analysis for investments of the Group is further disclosed
in the Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements;
- In the valuation report dated 18 February 2022 with the valuation of assets as of 31 October 2021, income approach was selected
by an independent appraiser as a valuation method to determine market value of associate UAB Saulės energijos projektai.
Income approach and Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was selected by an independent appraiser for the valuation of
investments in associate as it generated cash flows from its main activities. DCF method is based on present value calculations
of expected cash flows projected over a specific period and including terminal value (residual value). Independent assessor
determines the type of cash flow, a time horizon, assumptions for the projections and an appropriate discount rate. Asset-based
approach was selected as a valuation method to determine market value of subsidiaries Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o. and PV
Energy Projects sp. z o. o. Asset-based approach was selected by an independent appraiser for the valuation of investments in
subsidiaries as both of the subsidiaries are holding companies that have subsidiaries themselves, therefore key components of
the value of the Company's subsidiaries are assets. In order to determine fair value of the Group‘s investments in subsidiaries
combination of asset approaches are used, as the value of a business derives from its assets rather than its operations. Valuation
assumptions and sensitivity analysis for investments of the Company is further disclosed in the Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Terms of the valuation methods, not the valuation methods itself, used in the valuation of assets as of 31 October 2022 and 31 October
2021 may differ.
Input information that is used to determine fair value of the Group‘s investments in subsidiaries and associate include financial and other
data of the subsidiaries and associates of the Company, financial forecasts of the Company’s operations, legal documents, other
information.
12. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management
to make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses and the disclosure
of uncertainties. Future events may change the assumptions used in making the estimates. The effect of changes in such estimates will be
recognized in the financial statements when determined. Sensitivity analysis for investments of the Company is further disclosed in the
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Investment entity and determination of fair value
Management has assessed that the Company has three main components of the definition of an investment entity, therefore is an
investment entity since it was established, regardless of its legal status. Based on the Management's judgement, the Company:
- Obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services
(investment services condition);
- Commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment
income, or both (business purpose condition);
- Measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all its investments on a fair value basis (fair value condition).
Management has assessed that it complies with investment services condition as the Company’s solely goal is to collect pool of funds from
different investors and to provide returns from capital appreciation.
Management has assessed that it complies with business purpose condition as the Company's solely goal is to collect pool of funds from
different investors and to provide returns from capital appreciation. Before the Company became a closed-end investment entity, investors
invested in the Company through the Company's sole Shareholder, which then provided collected funds to the Company via share capital
or lending commitments. As mentioned in the General part I, as investments to the renewables sector have shown an extensive growth
potential the decision was made to transform the Company into a separate closed-end collective investment entity to provide investors an
instrument to invest directly into renewable energy sector. As a closed-end investment entity, the Company has a prospectus which provides
details about shares (most important aspect – net asset value per share) offering to the public. In addition, investment company distributes
annual and quarterly reports to its investors, which contains information such as:
- Investment company data (net asset value, net asset value per share, net internal rate of return calculated from the start of fund,
number of investors, etc.);
- Key events of the period – mainly containing activities such as new investments, possible investing opportunities;
II. Accounting Policy
| 24
- Company‘s investments;
- Other information.
Management has assessed that it complies with fair value condition since the Company was established, regardless of its legal status, as
the fair value of the Company's investments is assessed twice a year by reputable external business appraiser and the Company also
provides annual and quarterly reports to its investors and to the Bank of Lithuania which contains fair value information of all investments
made by the Company.
Additionally, The Company’s net assets are calculated in accordance with the NAV calculation methodology approved by the Bank of
Lithuania and the Management Company's NAV calculation procedures. The Company's Articles of Association stipulate that the fair value
of assets and liabilities is determined based on market-monitored transactions or market information. In the absence of observable market
transactions and market information related to assets and liabilities, fair value is determined using valuation techniques.
The determination of fair value in all cases pursues the same objective, which is to calculate the amount for which a counterparty may sell
assets or services or transfer a liability to each other under normal market conditions at the measurement date.
Term of operation of the Company is specified in the prospectus as 5 years with the possibility of extension for 2 additional years. Before
maturity all investments will be disposed as the Company will seize to exist. Therefore, this confirms that the Company does not plan to
hold its investments indefinitely.
Assumptions that were used to measure the Group’s investments in subsidiaries and associates at fair value and sensitivity analysis of fair
value of investments of the Group are presented in Note 2. The fair value of the Group's investments was determined based on valuation
reports prepared by an independent appraiser.
It is an accounting estimate made based on significant judgement by the Management of the Company. The Company carefully monitors
the market interest rates, therefore fixed interest rates that are determined in the bond and loan agreements the Company has concluded
with its subsidiaries, associates or external / third parties are set considering the interests rates that are applicable in the market at the time
of undertaking the liability.
Leases
The Group has assessed lease contracts in accordance with requirements of IFRS 16.
As at 31 December 2022, the Group has signed a lease contract of business premises. The Group has assessed that right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities will not be recognized in regards to signed lease contract as in accordance with requirements of IFRS 16 recognition
exemption is applied. Lease contract of business premises signed on 1 October 2022 is signed for a lease term ending 31 August 2023. As
lease term is less than 12 months, it can be concluded that a lease is a short-term lease and the Group elects to apply recognition exemption
in accordance with IFRS 16 requirements.
As at 31 December 2021, the Company has a contract on reimbursement of costs signed with the management company based on which
it compensates office maintenance costs in order to have available workspaces for its employees in the office of the Management Company.
The Company compensates such costs as rent, electricity, cleaning and other utility costs incurred in relation to maintaining workplaces in
the office. As the contract does not specify granting the right to control use of the asset and does not specify period, the Company concludes
that contract does not comply to definition of a lease. Reimbursable costs are recognized as office maintenance expenses in statement of
profit or loss.
13. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted
The following standards, amendments and interpretations are not yet applied for the reporting periods ending on 31 December 2022 and
are not relevant to the preparation of these financial statements. The following are standards that may be relevant to the Group. The Group
does not plan in advance to apply the amendments and clarifications to the standards listed below.
The following amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted, provided the entity also
applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on or before the date it first applies IFRS 17. This is a comprehensive new accounting standard for
insurance contracts, covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts
issued, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretional participation contracts.
II. Accounting Policy
| 25
The Group does not issue contracts in scope of IFRS 17; therefore its application does not have an impact on the Group’s financial
performance, financial position or cash flows.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (Amendments)
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments
provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1
replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Also,
guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making
judgements about accounting policy disclosures.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.
IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments)
The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and
apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments
introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement
uncertainty, if they do not result from a correction of prior period error. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates
are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.
IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments)
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments
narrow the scope of and provide further clarity on the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account
for deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction, such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The
amendments clarify that where payments that settle a liability are deductible for tax purposes, it is a matter of judgement, having considered
the applicable tax law, whether such deductions are attributable for tax purposes to the liability or to the related asset component. Under
the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and
deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or decommissioning liability and
decommissioning asset component) give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments)
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with earlier application permitted, and will
need to be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. The objective of the amendments is to clarify the principles in IAS 1 for the
classification of liabilities as either current or non-current. The amendments clarify the meaning of a right to defer settlement, the
requirement for this right to exist at the end of the reporting period, that management intent does not affect current or non-current
classification, that options by the counterparty that could result in settlement by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments do not
affect current or non-current classification. Also, the amendments specify that only covenants with which an entity must comply on or
before the reporting date will affect a liability’s classification. Additional disclosures are also required for non-current liabilities arising from
loan arrangements that are subject to covenants to be complied with within twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments
have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.
IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments)
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with earlier application permitted. The
amendments are intended to improve the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and
leaseback transaction in IFRS 16, while it does not change the accounting for leases unrelated to sale and leaseback transactions. In
particular, the seller-lessee determines ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’ in such a way that the seller-lessee would not recognise
any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. Applying these requirements does not prevent the seller-lessee from
recognising, in profit or loss, any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease. A seller-lessee applies the amendment
retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application, being the
beginning of the annual reporting period in which an entity first applied IFRS 16. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.
II. Accounting Policy
| 26
Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution
of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the
sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a
full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is
recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In
December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the
equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Management has estimated that the amendments will not affect the Group.

1. Asset acquisitions
On 4 July 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of UAB AEI Development from the previous owner. At the time of the acquisition,
the company acquired did not carry out any activities. The sole purpose of the company acquired is to provide project management and
consulting services to the Company. At the time of acquisition, the Group considers that acquisition of entity does not represent the
acquisition of a business, therefore it is presented as an asset acquisition. The fair value of the net assets of the acquired company at the
acquisition date is given below:

Acquisition price

The acquisition price for shares of the company acquired is equal to the fair value of the net assets of the company.
2. Investment assets at fair value through profit or loss
The Company meets the definition of an investment entity, therefore it does not consolidate its subsidiaries and associates (except
management entity UAB AEI Development) but recognizes them as investments at fair value through profit or loss. Further, the Company
holds both controlling interest in equity shares and debt instrument issued by the subsidiaries and associates. From a business strategy
perspective, the Company rarely, if ever, would enter a transaction to sell one financial asset, e.g., equity shares, without the other, e.g., debt
instrument. In addition, neither the debt nor the equity shares are traded in an active market. The Company's investments in loans granted
is not a Company's separate substantial operating activity but are granted for the sole purpose of capital appreciation purposes in
accordance with IFRS 10. Therefore, the Company aggregates its investments in subsidiaries and associates as a one financial asset in
order to best present the fair value of the investment as a whole. The Group’s and the Company's aggregated financial assets at a fair value
are presented in the table below:

of Group (acquired until valuation date) is accounted for based on the valuation reports of an independent appraiser. Fair value of

valuation of assets as of 31 October 2021).
III. Notes
| 31
The Management concluded that from the date of valuation of investment (31 October 2022) until the end of reporting year (31 December
2022) there were no circumstances or events which could have significant impact on the fair value of investment. Therefore, fair value of
the investments in equity and debt instruments of subsidiaries and associates of the Group as of 31 December 2022 is accounted at the
values from the reports of an independent appraiser.
For the valuation of assets as of 31 October 2022, income approach was selected by an independent appraiser as a valuation method for
investments in subsidiaries Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o., PV Energy Projects sp. z. o. o., PL Sun sp. z. o. o. and associates UAB Žaliosios
investicijos and UAB Saulės energijos projektai, as development of projects of these entities was started, was in further development stages
and for some operating activities already started. Net asset approach was selected as a valuation method for investments in subsidiaries
UAB Atelda, UAB Rineila, UAB Nimela, UAB JTPG, UAB AEI Development and associates UAB Ekoelektra, UAB KNT Holding and Zaļais Spēks
SIA, as entities did not have significant operations, or their projects were at an early stage of development at valuation date.
As at 31 December 2022, value of investments in shares of subsidiary Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o. have decreased compared to value
as at 31 October 2021. Increase in Polish risk-free rate during year 2022, was one of the primary factors that, respectively, led to a significant
increase in weighted average cost of capital (hereinafter - WACC) in Polish asset valuation. Due to increase in WACC and other corresponding
valuation assumptions, compared to the previous valuation of the Group's shares, decrease in subsidiary's Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o.
shares value was noted.
Due to slight changes in WACC, the Group has recognized fair value adjustments on investments in shares of PV Energy Projects sp. z o. o.
and PL Sun sp. z o. o. reflecting a smaller increase in fair value of investments in subsidiaries on an aggregated basis.
As at 31 December 2022, fair value of investments in shares of associate UAB Žaliosios Investicijos has increased. It already had several
wind turbines working in year 2022 and the rest of turbines are planned to start operations in year 2023. On 20 December 2022, according
to decision of shareholders of the entity, share capital of UAB Žaliosios investicijos was increased by issuing 7 209 121 units of shares with
nominal value of EUR 1 each. Increase in share capital has contributed to an overall increase in the fair value of investments in shares. Based
on valuation report, decrease in fair value of bonds of UAB Žaliosios Investicijos was reported to reflect increase in Lithuanian risk-free rates,
however as the Group measures investments at fair value on an aggregated basis, the Group recognizes a fair value adjustment reflecting
a smaller increase in the fair value of aggregated investments in both, debt and equity, instruments of associate UAB Žaliosios Investicijos.
Based on the Group's asset valuation report of an independent appraiser, shares of subsidiaries UAB Atelda, UAB Nimela, UAB Rineila, as
well as, shares of associate's UAB KNT Holding, UAB Ekoelektra and Zalais Speks SIA were valued as EUR 1 each, as companies did not
have any real estate, shares, or any other marketable asset and were in early stage of development.
Fair value of investments in equity and debt instruments of subsidiaries and associates depends on the assessment of the assets that are
managed by the entities themselves. As required by IFRS 13, the fair value of the investment shall represent the most accurate fair value of
an investment to the reporting date.
The valuation of shares owned by the Company was based on the following valuation assumptions as at 31 December 2022:
- Energy Solar Projekty sp. z o. o. valuation method – income approach; discount rate – 9.64% (as at 31 October 2021 – valuation
method – asset approach, when assessing the companies managed by the Company, income approach methods were used,

guarantees. On 3 August 2022, the Group has applied for an amendment of one of the bank guarantees based on which full amount of the
guarantee (EUR 3 750 thousand) was transferred to UAB KNT Holding. As at 31 December 2022 and after a transfer of one of the bank
guarantees, remaining balance of bank guarantees is EUR 1 650 thousand.
Bank guarantees are intended to confirm that subsidiaries would perform their obligation under agreements related with investing in solar
farm infrastructure. Under the confirmation letter the bank is obligated to pay to the beneficiary amounts upon receipt of payment demand
in case the company does not fulfil the requirements listed in letter of intent with the grid operator, whereas the payable amount cannot
exceed funds paid by the Group indicated above. The bank guarantees are valid until the earlier of the following events – fulfilment of all
requirements listed in the letter of intent with the grid operator or 1 July 2026. There is a possibility to extend the guarantee by 6 months.
Instalments for guarantees are held as cash restricted for the Group’s general use. Restricted cash for guarantees is held at well-established
credit institutions with high long-term debt ratings (refer to Note 8), therefore management does not see a risk of restricted cash not being
able to be used for the purpose it is currently held as restricted or not being freed up for the Group’s general use once purpose of holding
restricted cash is fulfilled. Management assumes that there is no significant expected credit loss in regard to restricted cash, therefore
expected credit loss is not recognized.

On 21 January 2020, the Group sold the shares and loans it held in AS Agro Lestene and AS Zalas Zemes Energija to a third party, for which
the third party will settle by instalments. The receivable amount from a third party was assessed in the valuation reports of an independent
appraiser (dated 3 July 2021, with the valuation of assets as at 31 May 2021) for which the fair value was calculated. The decrease in the
fair value of the receivable amount was accounted due to the difference between the carrying amount and the selling price.
On 22 May 2022, the Group and the third party signed an agreement to sell receivable amount from the third party and on 2 June 2022, the
receivable amount was fully paid.

by all the Investors to the Company under the Investment Agreements. The Management fee shall be paid to the Management
Company pro rata to the amount of all the Commitments given to the Company;

23. Financial risk management
The Group the assesses following financial risks related to its activity: liquidity, credit, interest rate, foreign exchange, and operational risks.
The objective of financial risk management is to identify, assess and manage the risks that the Group might be exposed to.
23.1. General risk
The value of Group’s investments may both go up and down and, therefore, the values of the Group’s Shares may fluctuate during the term
of the Group’s operations. Past performance of the Group cannot guarantee the same future results. In addition, main investments of the
Group will be made in infrastructure assets and related properties so there are risks related to investments in such infrastructure assets and
properties. This risk may be inherent to the overall market of this type of properties or separate segments of this market and cover, inter
alia, global, regional, or national socio-economic conditions, supply of and demand for infrastructure assets and properties targeted by the
Group for investment, financial capacity of buyers and sellers, changes in the legal environment and legislation related to infrastructure
assets and properties, changes in the tax environment, etc.
23.2. Market risk
There is a risk that due to the deteriorating global, regional, or national situation (e.g., macroeconomic changes, wholesale energy prices,
political, legal risks, or actions of investors in a particular region) the value of the property acquired by the Group or income received from it
will decrease, maintenance (administration) costs of such property will increase thereby reducing the value of Group’s investments.
The Company, its subsidiaries and associates are not traded on the regulated market. Subsidiaries and associates mainly operate in the
Lithuanian - Polish markets where value drivers are dependent on the specific energy regulation. The effect of changes in equity prices on
the results of the Group is zero.
The Company carries out its main transactions with entities of the Group. Loans granted and bonds issued with a fixed interest rate, therefore
there is no impact of interest rate fluctuation on the results of the Group. Changes in market rates and it’s impact on the fair value of fixed
rate instruments the Company owns is determined within valuation reports of independent business assessor. Changes in fair value of
instruments are accounted for based on the valuation reports. Refer to Note 2.
23.3. Liquidity risk
There is a risk of incurring losses due to low market liquidity which will prevent the disposal of the infrastructure assets and related
properties acquired by the Group at the preferred time and the desired price, or which will prevent the sale of the infrastructure assets and
related properties acquired by the Group in general. There is also a risk that due to the deteriorating global, regional, or national economic
III. Notes
| 49
situation the return demanded by the Investors will increase and the terms of financing from banks will deteriorate, which will make the sale
of the Group’s investments last longer than expected. To mitigate this risk, the Group will start selling the acquired assets at least 2 to 3
years before the end of the term of the Company’s operations so that it can freely regulate the sale process and choose from the offers of
buyers.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle its obligations in full as they fall due
or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous. The Group’s objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity resources to maintain
operations, meet its financial obligations and liabilities, pay distributions, and provide funds for capital expenditures and investment
opportunities. Management seeks to achieve these objectives through:
- Preparation of regular forecast cash flows to understand the application and use of funds; and
- Identification of future funding, including new debt facilities.
The Group describes the management of liquidity risk as conservative which refers to the sufficient ensuring of the amount of cash and
cash equivalents. The Group’s cash flows are positive, hence the liquidity risk is considered to be low. Due to this reason, the Group’s
management did not implement any formal procedures to manage the liquidity risk. The Group manages the liquidity risk by signing long-
term trading contracts with major buyers.
The following tables present contractual maturities of the Group‘s and Company‘s financial assets and liabilities based on undiscounted
contractual payments as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021:

23.4. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge a contractual obligation or commitment that it has
entered with the Group, resulting in a financial loss to the Group. In managing the credit risk, the Group seeks to select only creditworthy
counterparties whose reliability is not in doubt.
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 credit risk is assessed in regard to other financial assets consisting of restricted cash for
bank guarantees (Note 3) and cash at bank (Note 8) which are not accounted at fair value through profit and loss.
The Group is exposed to limited credit risk in regarding to cash held at bank as the bank is a counterparty with a high credit rating issued by
foreign rating agencies (please refer to Note 8). Given the high credit ratings of the banks, the Group considers the probability of bank failure
to be zero.

23.6. Equity price risk
Equity price risk is the risk of unfavourable changes in the fair value of equity instruments.
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Group holds shares of its subsidiaries and associates, therefore is exposed to equity
securities price risk, as prices of such securities in the future are uncertain. Equity securities prices are observed and measured based on
the market value of subsidiaries and associates determined in the valuation report by the independent assessors, which is prepared at least
twice a year. The Group holds both controlling interest in equity shares and debt instrument issued by the subsidiaries and associates,
therefore the fair value is determined for the aggregated equity and debt financial instrument as one unit.
The Group‘s and the Group's aggregated financial assets at a fair value are as follows:
Group and Company
31 December 2022
31 December 2021
Equity and debt financial instrument
144 908
66 681
As equity securities are not publicly traded, their prices are determined based on valuation reports submitted by independent assessors and
benchmark indexes are not used, the impact of changes in the fair value cannot be reasonably evaluated.
In order to manage the price risk, the Group's Management is obliged to ensure the diversification of the investments. The Group's
management responsibly selects investment objects, performs a thorough investment analysis, and make efforts to ensure to comply with
the investment restrictions set out in the Group's prospectus.
The Group invests in renewable energy infrastructure facilities and related assets. Renewable energy infrastructure facilities and related
assets include the following facilities: renewable energy production sources, energy efficiency projects, distribution and transmission
networks of energy resources and their storage and other similar facilities. The Group invests in renewable energy infrastructure facilities
and related assets by acquiring equity securities (not less than 10% of equity securities that grant the voting right, if these securities are not
admitted to trading on a trading venue, in other cases – not more than 20% of equity securities that grant the voting rights) and non-equity
securities, including convertible bonds, movable property (plant, equipment, and other similar property) and real estate.
23.7. Interest rate risk
There is a risk that a rapid recovery of the global economy or a higher inflation rate may force central banks to raise interest rates which will
entail higher costs of administration of credits related to the Group’s investments, thereby reducing the value of the Group’s investments.
To mitigate this risk, the Group may hedge against interest rate risks by concluding respective transactions in financial instruments, where
necessary.
As at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 the Group only has assets (loans granted, bonds acquired) and liabilities (loans received,
bonds issued) that are subject to fixed interest rates, therefore the Group is not exposed to interest rate risk. The Group's assets and liabilities
do not use benchmark rates.
The fair value of the Group's investments in equity and debts instruments is measured on an aggregated basis. Among other investments,
it holds both a controlling interest in equity shares and a debt instrument issued by the subsidiaries.
From a business strategy perspective, and in a manner consistent with standard practice in its industry, The Group evaluates the
performance of its investments in subsidiaries and makes acquisition and disposal decisions on an aggregate basis rather than by
considering the shares and debt separately.
When it holds both a controlling interest in the shares of a subsidiary and debt issued by that subsidiary, the Group rarely, if ever, disposes
of one instrument without also disposing of the other as this ensures that its return on investment is maximised. Therefore, the risk arising
solely from interest is not applicable.
23.8. Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the value of cash flows of financial instruments may volatile in the future due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The Group’s investments will be mainly made in the Euro, therefore Group assets and liabilities are considered to be free of
foreign exchange risk.
To mitigate this risk, the Group may hedge against exchange rate risks using derivative financial instruments but neither the Group nor the
Management Group can guarantee that these hedges will cover the entire or majority of the investment portfolio.
III. Notes
| 55
For the financial year ended 31 December 2022 and the financial year ended 31 December 2021 derivative financial instruments are not
used to hedge against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.
As at 31 December 2022 the Company has receivables denominated in PLN in the amount of EUR 105 thousand (refer to Note 7). An
increase of 10% in the PLN/EUR rate would result in foreign exchange loss in the amount of EUR 10 thousand. A decrease of 10% in the
PLN/EUR rate would result in foreign exchange gain in the amount of EUR 12 thousand.
23.9. Operational risk
Operational risk refers to mismanagement, error, or fraud in relation to financial risk management resulting in financial loss to the Group. It
is managed by maintaining a strict review of the accounts and the financials of the Group, whilst ensuring that suitably experienced and
qualified staff implements those reviews, appropriate contractual arrangements are in place with counterparties and compliance with the
laws and regulations is maintained.
23.10. Capital risk management
The Group’s objective in managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for
the shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable
to the equity holders of the Group.
The Group performs the following in order to maintain capital structure and ensure effective capital management:
• Regularly monitor the performance of the Group and adjust distributions the Group pays to Shareholders;
• Issue new shares in accordance with the constitutional documents of the Group to existing or new Shareholders;
• Restrict redemption of shares in accordance with the constitutional documents.
23.11. Property development risk
There is a risk that the development projects of the Group will take longer or cost more than expected, thereby reducing the value of the
Group’s investments. To mitigate this risk, the Group will allocate sufficient resources to control the budget and implementation deadlines
of the development projects.
23.12. Limited diversification risk
The limits of investment of the Group’s assets are not regulated as tightly as those of other collective investment undertakings so the risk
spread is not broad and there is a risk that even a single unsuccessful investment may have a significant negative effect on the overall
result of the Group due to a limited number of investments. To mitigate this risk, the Management Company will choose the investment
objects responsibly, analyse the investments in great detail and will make every endeavour to ensure that the investment restrictions laid
down in this Prospectus are complied with.
23.13. Tax risk
There is a risk that a change in the economic climate and political situation in the country may result in new taxes applicable to the Group
and investment objects of the Group and/or an increase in the current tax rates, thereby reducing the return on investments of the Group.
23.14. Political and legal risk
A Group which invests in one geographic region or economic sector is exposed to higher political and/or legal risks. Political risks are
inherent in to all developing countries. They are high in countries that are not members of the European Union, especially in the developing
countries. Political instability in the country may lead to legal, tax, fiscal and regulatory changes such as nationalisation, confiscation,
restriction of the free movement of capital and other political decisions which may have an adverse effect on the value of the Group’s Share.
23.15. Geopolitical risk
III. Notes
| 56
There is a risk that the operations of the Group may be affected by geopolitical changes (such as conflicts between countries, internal
conflicts of neighbouring countries, uprisings, or wars) resulting in a lower value of the Group’s investments or failure to dispose of the
investment objects acquired by the Group at the preferred time and the desired price.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine. The military actions affect not only the economies of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus,
but also the whole European Union and the global economy. As at the date these financial statements were authorized for issue, the situation
in Ukraine is extremely volatile and inherently uncertain. Company does not invest in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus and does not have
subsidiaries in these markets, the management of the Company has concluded that:
• no expected credit losses adjustments should be made as Company and its subsidiaries do not have balances with indicated
countries;
• no adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should be made;
• the situation does not have an impact on Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
• general potential effects that are tightly related to the Company’s activities are an increase in electricity prices, possible disruptions
in the supply chain as well as increased inflation and growing prices of other materials.
In the management’s opinion, considering the ongoing and dynamic nature of the situation, a reliable estimate of the financial impact cannot
be presently made.
23.16. Group’s property valuation risk
The assets acquired by the Group will be evaluated according to the main rules laid down in the Prospectus. The valuation of individual
items of assets of the Group will be carried out by a property or business valuator but such valuation constitutes only the estimated value
of the assets which does not automatically mean an accurate realisable value of the Group’s assets which depends on a number of factors,
e.g., economic, and other conditions beyond the control of the Management Group and its employees. Therefore, the realisable value of the
Group’s assets may be either above or below the value of the assets determined by the property or business valuator.
23.17. Fluctuation risk
The value of the Group’s investments may significantly increase or decrease within a relatively short period of time and as a result of this
the Group’s NAV may significantly increase or decrease within a relatively short period of time. A significant increase or decrease in the
Group’s NAV within a relatively short period of time may cause sudden significant fluctuations (increase or decrease) in the value of the
Group’s Shares.

Review of performance and development
68.1 MW of operating solar power projects in Poland and Lithuania have continued to operate smoothly in 2022, with no major disturbances
to report. The results have exceeded expectations, with revenue increasing by 47% and EBITDA by 59% compared to the budget. This was
driven by favourable weather conditions and high electricity prices during the high-yield season. Consolidated operating projects’ EBITDA
for the year 2022 was EUR million 9.0, which is significantly higher than the budgeted amount of EUR million 5.6. Similarly, consolidated
operating projects’ revenues for the year 2022 were million EUR 10.9 compared to the budgeted amount of million EUR 7.4.
Construction of a 67.8 MW solar PV portfolio in Poland is on track, with 46 MW of PV modules installed across 24 project sites. As of the
end of March 2023 the construction of 14 projects totalling 14 MW has been completed. While for the remaining 22 projects, construction
is expected to be finished by the end of May 2023. For the 14 constructed projects which have grid connection points prepared by the
distribution system operators, distribution agreements are being finalized. These Projects are expected to start generating electricity by the
end of April 2023.
The new portfolio of solar development projects in Poland has a capacity of 104.5 MW., The contracts with solar module and inverter
providers have been executed and deliveries for modules are planned for the end of April 2023. The BoS contract for the first 66.5 MW has
been executed as well, with the first stages of construction planned for the end of April 2023.
The Company holds 25% of shares of UAB Žaliosios investicijos, which manages the construction of a 185.5 MW portfolio, consisting of 34
wind turbines in Lithuania. Anykščiai wind park (49.5 MW) is already operational, with the commercial operation date (COD) estimated to
be reached in Q3 2023. Based on the latest indications provided by General Electric Renewables GmbH, the management of UAB Žaliosios
investicijos expects that the Jonava wind park (70 MW) will be operational in Q2 2023 with COD planned for Q3 2023, while the start of
operations for Rokiškis wind park (66 MW) is estimated in Q3 2023 with COD planned for Q4 2023.
As of 1 July 2022, fixed-price, monthly-fixed-volume electricity price hedging derivatives (the Price Hedging Agreement) entered into force
for approximately 50% of production for Anykščiai (49.5 MW) and Jonava (70 MW) wind parks. The wind parks being developed by these
companies did not yet produce electricity nor generated revenue to cover the unplanned Price Hedging Agreement costs at the time the
Price Hedging Agreement came into force. The management of UAB Žaliosios investicijos has entered into a deferred payments plan under
the Price Hedging Agreement. Taking into consideration obtained payouts from the insurance company, and received payments for
contractual liquidated damages from General Electric Renewables GmbH, an additional 3.75 mEUR equity capital injection was required by
the Company to balance out cash flow for UAB Žaliosios investicijos wind park portfolio. Currently, no additional investments are expected
to be made as risks related to the Price Hedging Agreement have been successfully manage.
Other notable key events in 2022 and 2023 Q1 were:
➢ Share purchase agreement for a hybrid 250 MW wind and 250 MW solar PV plant in Lithuania has been signed. The grid was
secured by signing the Letter of Intent (LOI) with the TSO in Q2 2022.

➢ In Q1 2023 PV Energy Projects sp. z o.o. has secured long-term financing for its 67.8 MW solar project, which is currently under
construction. First solar PV plants from the portfolio will start the operations in Q2 2023.
Risks and uncertainties
Irrespective of the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus, the governments of the Baltic States and Poland continue to be strongly
committed to maintaining the Green Deal. Investments in renewable energy and infrastructure will be growing both in Poland and the Baltic
countries. Similar trends prevail throughout the world, from America to Australia. This also brings about certain risks, such as the risk of a
rise in raw materials prices and a longer supply time. In the wind energy sector, the main challenge is posed by the delivery of wind turbines
and transformers for the connection point. As of today, the average delivery time of wind turbine parts is approximately 18 months. This
means that a smooth construction process should be planned in advance very precisely, hence entrance to the project development in the
earlier stage is favourable.
The solar energy sector has maintained a steady production of components since the second quarter of 2022, and there have been no
significant changes in delivery and transportation issues. The price of solar panels is closely linked to the price of silicon, which has been
decreasing since the end of 2022, resulting in lower prices for modules. Despite advancements in renewable energy, solar projects have
encountered difficulties due to extended delivery times for transformer stations, which have resulted in a 20-30% increase in prices
compared to the previous period. Additionally, to keep up with the fast pace of development, it is necessary to expand the capacity of
electricity networks, which are dependent on government-controlled electricity network companies. This is one of the factors that limit the
rapid development of renewable energy.
Changes in the regulatory environment in Lithuania may lead to the intensive growth of hybrid projects. Existing stand-alone solar PV or
wind farms may seek to install a second-generation source in order to make more efficient use of grid capacity.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine. The military actions affect not only the economies of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus,
but also the whole European Union and the global economy. As at the date these financial statements were authorized for issue, the situation
in Ukraine is extremely volatile and inherently uncertain. The Company does not invest in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus and does not have
subsidiaries in these markets, nor does it attract any investments from the mentioned countries, therefore the management of the Company
has concluded that:
✓ no expected credit losses adjustments should be made as Company and its subsidiaries do not have balances with indicated
countries;
✓ no adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should be made;
✓ the situation does not have an impact on Company’s ability to continue as a going concern;
✓ general potential effects that are tightly related to the Company’s activities are an increase in electricity prices, possible disruptions
in the supply chain as well as increased inflation and growing prices of other materials.
In the management’s opinion, considering the ongoing and dynamic nature of the situation, a reliable estimate of the financial impact cannot
be presently made. Additionally, the Company’s management ensures compliance with the relevant EU sanctions and monitors for any
further restrictions by following the Management Company’s internal procedures.
2. Analysis of financial and non-financial operating results; environment and personnel-related information
The Company’s objective is to earn return for the Company’s investors from investments in facilities of the renewable energy infrastructure
and related assets.
