INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholder of Valstybės investicinis kapitalas, UAB:
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Valstybės investicinis kapitalas, UAB (the Company), which comprise the
statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the financial position of the
Company as at 31 December 2021, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance
with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of Financial
Statements of the Republic of Lithuania that are relevant to audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of Financial Statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA
Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Valuation of financial assets
Refer to pages 20, 21, 30 of the financial statements
As at 31 December 2021 the net value of the Company‘s
investment in Pagalbos verslui fondas, KŪB (the Fund)
amounted to EUR 142,264 thousand (31 December 2020:
EUR 4,125 thousand), and decrease in fair value losses for
the year then ended amounted to EUR 4,861 thousand (2020:
EUR 2,875 thousand).
The investment in the Fund is the most significant asset item
in the statement of financial position and related expense
item in the statement of comprehensive income of the
Company. In making fair value measurement, management
of the Company is required to make significant judgments in
circumstances of significant uncertainty. As the Fund's net
assets are measured at fair value, the management of the
Company has determined that the fair value of the
investment in the Fund will be determined based on the
Fund's net assets.
For the reasons described, we believe that the valuation of
the investment in the Fund is a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures in this area included, among others:
evaluating the application of the Company's accounting
policy for investment in the Fund, taking into account
the requirements of IFRS 9, to ensure that the
Company's accounting policy is appropriate and in
compliance with the named standard;
assessing the assumptions used by the Company's
management to determine fair value;
analysing the valuation of the Fund’s investment
portfolio:
- assessing the suitability and validity of the models
and assumptions used by the Fund to determine the
fair value of the Fund's investments;
- involving our valuation specialists to help us form a
range of estimates of the fair value of all the Fund's
investments;
assessing the impact of events after the balance sheet
date and their disclosure in the financial statements;
assessing the appropriateness of fair value disclosures.

Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance
statement and Remuneration Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Management is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon, except as specified below.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this
regard.
In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the Company’s annual report, including
Corporate Governance statement and Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statements and whether the Company’s annual report, including Corporate
Governance statement and Remuneration Report, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements.
Based on the work carried out in the course of audit of financial statements, in our opinion, in all material respects:
The information given in the Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance statement and
Remuneration Report, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the
financial statements; and
The Company’s annual report, including Corporate Governance statement and Remuneration Report, has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law on Financial Reporting by Undertakings of the Republic of
Lithuania.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit
evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
5
presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with the decision made by Shareholders on 1 October 2021 we have been chosen to carry out the audit of the
Company’s financial statements. Our appointment to carry out the audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance
with the decision made by Shareholders has been for year 2021 and the period of total uninterrupted engagement is two
years.
We confirm that our opinion in the section ‘Opinion’ is consistent with the additional report which we have submitted to the
Company and its Board of Directors.
We confirm that in light of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Company are consistent with the requirements
of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No
537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
We have not provided any services to the Company other than audit.
Report on the compliance of format of the financial statements with the requirements for European Single Electronic
Reporting Format
The Company's management has applied European Single Electronic Format for the Company's financial statements in order
to implement the requirement of Article No. 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 that amends European
Parliament and Commission Directive 2004/109 / EC with regulatory technical standards establishing a single format for
electronic reporting (hereinafter "the ESEF Regulation"). These requirements specify the Company’s obligation to prepare its
financial statements in a XHTML format. We confirm that the European single electronic reporting format of the financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 complies with the ESEF Regulation in this respect.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Mindaugas Jukna.

Gedimino pr. 38, LT-01104 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania
Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
11
Equity
Equity includes the paid-up part of the authorised capital, share premium, revaluation reserve (results),
statutory reserve, reserve for acquisition of own shares, other reserves, and retained earnings/loss.
The subscribed share capital is accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements in full,
regardless of the part paid up. The unpaid portion of the shares shall be accounted for and disclosed in
the financial statements in the counterpart account (item) of the authorised capital.
If the issued shares are settled in assets (including shares of another public limited company), the issue
price of the shares shall be equal to the fair value of the assets received for them. Only the nominal
value of shares shall be recorded in the authorised capital account. If the issue price exceeds their par
value, the excess price shall be recorded in the share premium account.
If a decision is made to increase or decrease the authorised capital, the increase or decrease of the
authorised capital shall be registered in the accounts when the amended articles of association of the
public limited company are registered in accordance with the procedure established by legal acts.
1.3. Recognition of costs
Expenses shall be recognised on an accrual basis in the period in which the related revenue is earned,
regardless of when the cash is paid.
The Company’s current expenses include payroll and related taxes, vacation accruals, accounting
service costs, insurance costs, Management Board member fees, employee recruitment and deferred
income tax costs.
1.4. Leasing
IFRS 16 defines a lease as a contract or part of a contract that transfers the right to use an asset (the
underlying asset) for a specified period in exchange for consideration. Under such an agreement, the
new model requires the lessee to recognise the asset managed under the right of use and the related
lease obligation. The right-of-use asset shall be depreciated and interest shall be accrued on the
liability.
1.4.1. Company as a lessee
Leased assets shall be initially recognised as assets of the Company at the fair value of the leased
asset at the inception of the lease or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The
related lessor liability shall be presented in the statement of financial position as a lease liability.
Lease payments shall be allocated between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding
liability so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the remaining balance of the liability.
Financial costs shall be recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they relate directly to long lead
time assets, in which case they shall be capitalised in accordance with the Company’s general
borrowing cost policy. Contingent rents shall be recognised as an expense in the period in which they
are incurred.
Operating lease payments shall be recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease, unless another systematic basis is more appropriate to reflect the
economic benefits embodied in the leased asset over time. Contingent operating leases shall be
recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
1.5. Foreign exchange
The financial results and financial position of the Company shall be presented in euros, which is the
Company’s functional currency and the currency for the presentation of the Company’s financial
statements.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
12
Transactions in foreign currency shall be translated into euros at the official exchange rate set by the
Bank of Lithuania on that day, which shall be approximately equal to the market rate. Monetary assets
and liabilities shall be translated into euros at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising on foreign currency transactions shall be recognised in profit or loss as
incurred. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities into euros
shall be recognised in profit or loss.
1.6. Income tax and deferred income tax
Income tax expense represents the amount of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is
calculated in accordance with the requirements of the tax laws of the Republic of Lithuania.
1.6.1. Current year fee
The tax for the current year shall be payable on taxable profits. Taxable profits differ from profit or loss
in the statement of comprehensive income in respect of taxable or deductible income or expense in the
following year and in respect of income or expense that is never taxable or deductible. The Company’s
current year income tax liability shall be calculated using tax rates ruling on the date of the statement of
financial position. The standard corporate income tax rate applied to the companies of the Republic of
Lithuania for the year ended 31 December 2021 shall be 15%.
1.6.2. Deferred tax
Deferred tax shall be provided on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax
liabilities shall be recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets shall be recognised only
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be reduced in recognising the temporary
differences. Such deferred assets and liabilities may not be recognised if the temporary differences
relate to goodwill or to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities (other than in a business
combination), the occurrence (transaction) of which does not affect either taxable profit or financial
profit.
Deferred income tax assets shall be reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset
to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets shall be measured using the tax rate ruling for the year in which the
temporary differences are expected to be settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
or will be approved by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the
tax consequences that the Company expects at the end of the reporting period in order to pay or settle
its assets or liabilities.
1.6.3. Current year tax and deferred tax for the period
Current year tax and deferred tax shall be recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that they
relate to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case
the tax shall be recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. When current tax and
deferred tax arise from the initial recognition of a business combination, the tax effect shall included in
the business merger accounts.
Deferred tax assets shall be recognised in the statement of financial position when management
expects to generate sufficient taxable profit in the foreseeable future to realise the asset. If it is probable
that part of the deferred tax asset will not be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not
recognised in the financial statements.

1.7. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be recognised when the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities shall be initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition or disposal of a financial asset (other than financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) shall initially be added to or deducted from the fair
value of the financial asset or financial liability, as appropriate. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss shall be recognised
immediately in profit or loss.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset in one company and a financial
liability or equity instrument in another company.
Recognition and derecognition in the statement of financial position
The Company shall recognise a financial asset or financial liability in its statement of financial position
when, and only when, it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Company shall recognise or derecognise the purchase or sale of a financial asset on the trade
date. The Company shall derecognise a financial asset in the statement of financial position when, and
only when:
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
it transfers the financial asset to another party.
The Company shall derecognise a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, that liability is derecognised, i.e. where the obligation specified
in the contract is:
enforceable; or
revoked; or
has expired.
The Company shall divide financial assets into one of the following categories:
measured at amortised cost;
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company shall classify debt financial assets in an appropriate category depending on the financial
asset management business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
The business model applied to a group of financial assets shall be determined by how all groups of
financial assets are managed together to achieve a specific business objective of the Company.
The Company’s investments in equity securities, where the Company has no control or significant
influence over the investee, shall be carried at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company shall include trade receivables, loans granted, other receivables from financial assets
and cash and cash equivalents.
All financial liabilities of the Company shall be measured at amortised cost.
The Company shall include trade liabilities, bonds and borrowings in financial liabilities measured at
amortised cost. At the time of initial recognition of the bonds, the costs associated with the distribution
of the bonds and the discount arising on the distribution shall be recognised at cost in the income
statement over the term of the bonds (until maturity), using the effective interest rate.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents shall comprise cash on hand, cash in transit and cash in bank accounts,
demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments of up to three months which are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
In the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents shall comprise cash on hand, deposits held
at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments.

1.8. Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits shall be recognised as an expense in the period in which the employees
render the related service. Benefits shall include salaries, social security benefits, bonuses, paid
leave, and more. There are no long-term employee benefits.
1.9. Fair value measurement
Many of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of the fair value
of both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in
the principal market and, in the absence of such a transaction, on the most favourable market that the
Company could enter on the valuation date. The fair value of a liability reflects the effect of its risk of
default. Fair value shall be determined using quoted market prices, discounted cash flow analyses and
option pricing models as appropriate.
In determining the fair value of assets or liabilities, the Company shall rely as far as possible on
available market data. Fair value shall be presented at the following three levels of the fair value
hierarchy, based on the variables used in the valuation techniques:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the same assets or liabilities.
Level 2: variables other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for assets or liabilities that are
observed directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: asset or liability variables that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
variables).
If the variables used to determine the fair value of an asset or liability can be assigned to different
levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level of the fair value hierarchy to which all determined fair value
is assigned shall be determined based on the lowest level variable that determines total fair value.
An entity shall recognise amounts transferred between the levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end
of the reporting period in which the change occurs.
1.10. Related parties
Shareholders, members of the Management Board, their close relatives and companies that directly or
indirectly control the Company through an intermediary or are controlled separately or jointly with
another party that is also recognised as a related party, provided that this relationship allows one of the
parties to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial
and management decisions.
1.11. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, except for contingent liabilities in
business combinations. They are described in the financial statements unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.
Contingent assets shall not be recognised in the financial statements but shall be disclosed when it is
probable that future economic benefits or service potential will flow to the entity.
1.12. Post-reporting events
Post-reporting events that provide additional information about the Company’s position at the statement
of financial position date (adjusting events) shall be reflected in the financial statements. Post-reporting
events that are not adjusting events shall be disclosed in the notes when their effect is material.

1.13. Comparative information
The comparative information in the statement of comprehensive income has been restated according
to the classification for the reporting period, distinguishing between Staff costs and Depreciation and
amortisation expenses.
1.14. Significant accounting estimates and management judgements
The Company performed an analysis and concluded that it does not have control over KŪB Pagalbos
Verslui Fondas (hereinafter referred to as the Fund) and does not have a significant impact on the
Fund. During the reporting period, the Company did not have the power to manage the Fund, did not
have voting rights conferred by equity instruments, and did not have the ability to manage significant
activities directly or through other entities. The Company is entitled to variable returns, but cannot
make direct decisions about the amount of variable returns or the period over which they would be
paid.
The Company’s investment in the Fund is measured at fair value, which is determined on the basis of
the Fund’s net assets. All of the Fund’s investments are measured at fair value and the carrying
amount of the Fund’s current receivables and payables and cash and cash equivalents is very close to
their fair value, therefore the Fund’s net assets shall also be measured at fair value.
1.15. Initial application of amendments to new standards in force during the reporting period
This year, the Company has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations that are
relevant to its operations and are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2021.
(a) The following new standards, amendments and interpretations are mandatory for
annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2021.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021
(amendments) (issued on 31 March 2021, effective as of 01 April 2021)
These amendments extend the scope of the 2020 amendments by extending the period of eligibility
for the practical target 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022.
On 28 May 2020, the Management Board issued COVID-19-related rent concessions, which amended
IFRS 16 Leases. The 2020 amendment permitted lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess
whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are
lease modifications and, instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease
modifications. Among other conditions, the 2020 amendment permitted lessees to apply the practical
expedient only to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments
originally due on or before 30 June 2021. If the lease reduces the lease payments and until 16 June
2021, IFRS 16 does not permit the concession to apply a practical expedient.
The amendments are effective in the EU for annual periods beginning on or after 01 April 2021. The
Company’s management has determined that these amendments do not have a material impact on
these financial statements as no significant discounts were received during the reporting period and
are not expected to be received in subsequent periods.
Interest Rate Benchmark ReformPhase 2Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and
IFRS 16 (amendments) (issued on 27 August 2020, effective as of 01 January 2021)
These amendments provide temporary benefits related to the effects of the financial statements when
the interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced by an alternative near-risk-free interest rate (RFR).
The amendments cover the following practical expedients:

Gedimino pr. 38, LT-01104 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania
Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
16
- Practical expedient to require that changes in contracts or changes in cash flows directly
required by the reform be treated as changes in variable interest rates equivalent to changes
in market interest rates.
- Allow changes to hedge designation and hedging documents required by the IBOR reform
without terminating the hedging relationship.
- Provide a temporary rebate to entities so that they do not have to comply with a separate
requirement when an RFR instrument is assigned to hedge a risk component.
The amendments are effective in the EU for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2021.
The Company’s management has determined that these amendments do not have a material impact
on these financial statements.
Interest rate benchmark: Reform Amendments to IFRS 9 IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (issued on 27 August
2020, effective from 01 January 2021 and to be applied retroactively)
The amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 will complete the second phase to address issues
that may affect the financial statements when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced by a risk-
free interest rate (RFR). These amendments will not affect the Company’s financial statements.
(b) Standards and amendments that have been approved but are not yet effective and have
not been applied in advance
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations are not mandatory for the reporting
period beginning on or after 01 January 2021 and have not been applied in preparing the following
financial statements:
IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Annual Improvements 2018-2020
(Amendments) (all issued on 14 May 2020, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01
January 2022).
The IASB has issued amendments to the narrow IFRS standards:
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations (amendments) updates the reference in IFRS 3 to the
Conceptual Framework for Financial Statements without changing the accounting
requirements for business combinations.
- IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibits an enterprise from deducting
from the cost of property, plant and equipment the proceeds from the sale of items produced
by the enterprise to prepare the asset for its intended use. Instead, the entity will recognise
such sales revenue and related expenses in SPLOCI’s profit or loss.
- IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (amendments) specifies the
costs that an entity includes in determining contract costs to determine whether a contract is
onerous.
- The annual improvements for 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time
Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41
Agriculture and the illustrative examples presented in conjunction with IFRS 16 Leases.
The amendments are effective in the European Union for annual periods beginning on or after 01
January 2022, with earlier application permitted.
The Company’s management is currently assessing the impact of these amendments on the
Company’s financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 17 and 4: Effective dates of IFRSs 17 and 9 for insurers (issued on 25 June
2020, effective from 01 January 2021, but not before approval by the EU).
UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas, company code: UAB, 305611945
Gedimino pr. 38, LT-01104 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania
Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
17
The amendments to IFRS 17 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023,
with earlier application permitted. The amendments are intended to help companies implement the
standard. In particular, the amendments seek to reduce costs by simplifying some of the requirements
of the standard, facilitating the interpretation of financial results and facilitating the transition by
postponing the effective date of the standard until 2023 for the first time.
The amendments to IFRS 4 replace the date of application of the temporary exemption from IFRS 9
Financial Instruments in insurance contracts, and entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual
periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023.
Management has estimated that these amendments will not have any impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
IFRS 17: Insurance contracts (issued on 18 May 2017, effective as of 01 January 2023, but not
before approval by the EU).
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2021, with earlier
application permitted if IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments have also been applied. At the meeting in March 2020, the Management Board decided to
postpone the date of entry into force until 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts sets out the principles
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing insurance contracts. Similar principles are also
required to apply to existing reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary
features. The aim is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that accurately
reflects those contracts. This information provides a basis for users of financial statements to evaluate
the effects of contracts covered by IFRS 17 on the entity’s financial position, financial performance
and cash flows. This IFRS will not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or
performance as insurance services are not provided.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from
a single transaction (issued on 07 May 2021, effective from 01 January 2023, but not before
approval by the EU).
The amendments require entities to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition,
give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The amendments are
effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023. Earlier application is
permitted. The amendments have not yet been approved by the EU. The Company has not yet
assessed the impact of implementing these changes.
Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors:
Definition of Accounting Estimates (issued on 12 February 2021, effective from 01 January 2023,
but not before approval by the EU).
The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in
financial statements that are subject to valuation uncertainties. The amendments also explain what
changes in accounting estimates are and how they differ from changes in accounting policies and
corrections of errors.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023, with earlier
application permitted, and changes in accounting policies and accounting estimates occurring at or
after the beginning of that period. The amendments have not yet been approved by the EU. The
Company has not yet assessed the impact of implementing these changes.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (issued on 23
January 2020 and 15 July 2020, respectively, with effect from 01 January 2023, but not before
approval by the EU).
The amendments are intended to promote consistent application of the requirements by helping
entities to determine whether debts and other liabilities with an indefinite settlement date should be
classified as current or non-current in the statement of financial position. The amendments affect the
UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas, company code: UAB, 305611945

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
18
presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change the existing
requirements for the timing of the measurement or recognition of any assets, liabilities, income or
expense or the disclosures that entities make about those items. The amendments also clarify the
requirements for classifying debt that an enterprise can settle by issuing its own equity instruments.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on its financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS 2 Disclosure of
Accounting Policies (issued on 12 February 2021, effective from 01 January 2023, but not before
approval by the EU).
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2023, if earlier
application is permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality
judgements in accounting policies. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to
disclose “significant” accounting policies with the requirement to disclose “material” accounting
policies. In addition, the practice report provides guidance and illustrative examples for applying the
concept of materiality in making accounting policy disclosures. The amendments have not yet been
approved by the EU. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of implementing these changes.
1.16. Management of financial risks and capital
Any kind of investment is inherently risky. Investments in the Fund involve long-term risk. The main
types of risks that the Company faces in its day-to-day operations are credit risk, operational risk,
liquidity risk and market risk, and securities price risk. Optimal and balanced risk management is the
basis for effectively ensuring the stability of the Company’s operations.
Credit risk. This is the risk that the other party will be unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
The Company has measures in place to ensure on an ongoing basis that transactions are made with
reliable customers and that the amount of transactions does not exceed credit risk limits. The
Company has not provided guarantees for the obligations of the other parties. The Company is
exposed to the risk that the other party will be unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
Operational risk. This includes the risk of direct and/or indirect losses due to inadequate or non-
implemented internal control processes, staff errors and/or illegal actions and malfunctions of
information systems and technologies, or due to external factors. Operational risk management is
performed by implementing the internal control function, establishing procedures and plans for limiting
the possible occurrence of unforeseen risks, assessing the acceptability of the Company’s services,
analysing the processes and procedures in the Company, identifying risk factors and assessing their
adequacy.
Liquidity risk. This is the risk of not being able to meet your payment obligations on time. The
Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining a sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents,
securing funding and meeting its obligations.
Market risk. This is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to fluctuations in market variables.
The most relevant risk for the Company is the fluctuation of securities prices. The Company also did
not have any financial instruments in place to manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations. The
company invests all available financial resources in KŪB Pagalbos Verslui Fondas. As the Company
conducts all operations in euros and the open foreign currency positions are insignificant, the
Company’s foreign exchange risk is insignificant.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset or service could be exchanged, or a liability
settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The fair values of
financial assets and financial liabilities are based on quoted market prices, discounted cash flow
models or option pricing models, as the case may be. In other words, fair value is the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants in the principal market and, in the absence of such a transaction, on the most favourable
UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas, company code: UAB, 305611945
Gedimino pr. 38, LT-01104 Vilnius, Republic of Lithuania
Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021
(All amounts in EUR unless otherwise indicated)
19
market that the Company could enter on the valuation date. The fair value of a liability reflects the
effect of its risk of default. Where appropriate, fair value is determined using quoted prices in an active
market using discounted cash flow values and option pricing models. In determining the fair value of
assets or liabilities, the Company relies as much as possible on observable market data. Fair values
are allocated to different levels of fair value based on the variables used in the valuation techniques:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for the same assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: variables other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for assets or liabilities that
are observed directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
- Level 3: asset or liability variables that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable variables). The Company’s investment in the Fund is classified as Level 3 in
the hierarchy.
If the variables used to determine the fair value of an asset or liability can be assigned to different
levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level of the fair value hierarchy to which all determined fair value
is assigned shall be determined based on the lowest level variable that determines total fair value.
The Company recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the
reporting period in which the change occurs.
The statement of financial position shows the fair values of assets and liabilities as of 31 December
2021 do not differ from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
The fair value of investments in the Fund fluctuates depending on the fluctuations in the fair value of
the Fund’s investments, which are calculated using the discounted cash flow method. As the discount
rate changes by 1% to the negative and the positive side, the fair value of the Fund’s portfolio changes
by EUR 3.37 million and EUR -5.07 million. As the discount rate increases by 0.5%, the fair value of
the portfolio decreases by an average of EUR 3.04 million, with the discount rate decreasing by 0.5%,
while the fair value of the portfolio increases by EUR 1.17 million.
Capital management
The main objective of capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains good solvency
and meets appropriate capital ratios in order to maintain its business and maximise benefits. The
Management Board of the Company monitors that its investments comply with the legal requirements
and loan agreements applicable to capital and provides the necessary information.
The Company’s capital includes share capital, share premium, reserves and retained earnings.
The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it to changes in economic conditions and the
specific risks of its operations. In order to maintain or change the capital structure, the Company may
issue new shares. The Law on Companies of the Republic of Lithuania requires that the Company’s
equity should not be less than 50% of its authorised capital. As of 31 December 2020, and 2021, the
Company complied with the said law.

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions against the Russian Federation could have
a global impact on the European economy. The Company has no direct links with Ukraine, Russia or
Belarus, but the Fund has provided financing to clients whose activities are directly and/or indirectly
related to these countries. The financial difficulties of the Fund’s clients may adversely affect the value
of the Fund’s financial assets and, accordingly, may have a direct adverse effect on the valuation of
the Company’s investments in the Fund. The impact on the overall economic situation may require a
review of certain assumptions and estimates. At present, management cannot reliably estimate the
impact of these events as the situation changes on a daily basis.

DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPANY
General
UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas (hereinafter referred to asVIKA or the Company) is a
private limited company registered in the Republic of Lithuania. The company was registered on 26
August 2020.
The company is registered at Gedimino pr. 38, Vilnius.
The company’s taxpayer code is 305611945.

Shareholder: The State
Representing authority: Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania
State-owned part: 100%
Manager’s word
Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas (VIKA)
was established to help Lithuanian
businesses overcome the challenges
caused by the pandemic. In 2021,
VIKA invested the funds raised in the
state and capital markets in Pagalbos
Verslui Fondas managed by the State
Investment Management Agency, thus
providing financial assistance to
businesses and promoting the capital
market.
In 2021, Lithuanian businesses had to
adapt quickly to the constraints of the
pandemic, faced liquidity challenges,
and addressed issues of investment
continuity and development, so the need for alternative financing solutions and the addition of market
instruments grew accordingly. VIKA team has prepared EUR 400 million bond distribution programme
evaluated and rated A by the international credit rating agency Fitch Ratings. This was the first time a
state-owned company had received such a high rating and its borrowing price was equated to the cost
of government borrowing. The rating reflects the market’s confidence in the investment model
developed and its potential.
Last year, the company invested 143 million in Pagalbos Verslui Fondas, of which more than a third
was raised on the capital market through the successful distribution of an inaugural EUR 30 million
and an additional EUR 20 million in bond issues. The results of the first issues, when demand
significantly exceeded supply and the yield was extremely low, reaffirmed that the market for

26
professional investors trusted the sustainable investment model developed by the Lithuanian state and
was determined to actively respond to companies’ need for access to additional capital.
It is important to mention that all VIKA bonds are listed on the Nasdaq Vilnius Stock Exchange and
may participate in the monetary policy operations of the European Central Bank. This will undoubtedly
increase the transparency of the investment model, boost market confidence and create more
incentives to enter the capital market more actively and boldly.
VIKA invests only to the extent that there is a real need for Lithuanian businesses, which means that
efficiently invested funds create both direct and added value for business, the capital market and the
economy. I invite you to get acquainted with the results of the activities in 2021.
VIKA activity description and activity model
In accordance with the Description of Activities of Pagalbos Verslui Fondas, approved by the Minister
of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania and the Minister of Finance of the
Republic of Lithuania to help the Lithuanian economy recover from the consequences of COVID-19 by
financing measures to support business and capital market development with funds raised through
state and capital market measures.
VIKA is a company established in 2020 by the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic
of Lithuania, which is the limited partner of B Pagalbos Verslui Fondas, providing the state
contribution to this fund.
The letter of the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania regarding the
expectations of the state (shareholder of VIKA) indicated the main expectations for VIKA’s activities,
including the requirements for the issuance of debt securities (DSs):
• VIKA must raise EUR 400 million in DS issues and ensure that VIKA does not operate at a loss.
VIKA must ensure that the total cost of the funds raised is in line with the best market conditions at
the time of the issuance of the DSs, using all possible cost-optimisation solutions for the issuance and
the entire financial cycle, such as credit rating and other measures.
• VIKA must implement appropriate risk management measures.
Taking into account the expectations of the state for VIKA’s activities, a EUR 400 million DS
programme with an unconditional state guarantee was approved to attract funds from private
investors. The programme was rated A by the international rating agency Fitch Ratings. The securities
of the bond programme are issued in installments as required. As of the date of this announcement,
VIKA has provided a guarantee of EUR 150 million to secure the bond programme. It is important to
note that the DSs issued by VIKA do not confer any rights to real estate or goods, nor do they confirm
any rights or obligations to acquire or dispose of such securities.
During 2021, UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas spent a total of EUR 50 million on DSs.
The initial EUR 30 million 4-year bond issue under the EUR 400 million programme was issued and
settled on 22 September 2021 (ISIN code: LT0000405664), the nominal value of one bond was EUR
1,000, with the yield at 0.045%. The redemption date of the bonds is 22 September 2025. The offer of
debt securities was aimed at professional investors, the demand exceeded the supply 8 times. The
securities of this issue were purchased by 21 investors, a third of them from foreign markets. The
proceeds from the bond issue were used as an additional capital contribution to KŪB Pagalbos Verslui
Fondas, which is managed by UAB Valstybės Investicijų Valdymo Agentūra.
UAB Valstybės Investicinis Kapitalas issued an additional 20 million in bonds under the same
conditions as the initial issue on 02 December 2021 (ISIN code: LT0000405664), with the nominal
value of one bond being EUR 1000, bond issue yield at 0.05%, and maturity on 22 September 2025.
The bonds were issued through private distribution to institutional investors in the Baltic States. The
total amount of applications submitted was EUR 140 million.

All bonds issued by the Company will be listed on the Nasdaq Baltic Bond List as of 30 September
2021. A state guarantee has been provided to secure the bond obligations.
The issue process of VIKA DSs is standard and in line with the current market practice. As VIKA is a
newly established company that does not have the competence to distribute DS issues independently,
VIKA has hired providers of legal and financial services to provide such services. The Lithuanian
branch of Luminor Bank AS, as the organiser of the DS issue distribution, has undertaken to mediate
in the DS issue distribution process from the beginning to the end, i.e. undertook to provide all
services related to the issuance of the DSs and their offering to third parties, including preparation for
the issuance of the DSs, organisation of the issuance of the DSs, coordination of the issuance of the
DSs to investors, coordination of the issuance of the external independent credit rating, etc.
It is agreed in writing that VIKA will pay an appropriate percentage of the income received from the
DSs for the intermediation services provided by the organiser in the DS transactions, but only if the
issue of the VIKA DSs is successfully distributed. If the organiser fails to distribute VIKA DSs, i.e. to
provide basic intermediation services in the DS transactions, the organiser would not receive any
remuneration from VIKA.
The main activities of VIKA include:
Management of state-owned assets transferred to VIKA;
Establishment, financing and participation in the activities of legal entities intended for the
implementation of the operational objective of VIKA;
Bond issue;
Attracting private investment.
Pursuant to the Memorandum of Association dated 07 August 2020, the Shareholder contributed EUR

The ongoing war in Ukraine and the associated sanctions against the Russian Federation could have
a global impact on the European economy. The company has no direct links with Ukraine, Russia or

STRATEGY AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION
The company’s strategic directions, mission, vision and goals
The main objective of VIKA’s activities is to help the Lithuanian economy recover from the
consequences of the coronavirus (COVID-19) by financing measures to support business and capital
market development with funds raised through state and capital market measures.
The letter from the Ministry of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of Lithuania on the
expectations of the state (shareholder of VIKA) for VIKA set out an expectation for VIKA to cooperate
with private limited liability company Valstybės Investicijų Valdymo Agentūra to help the Lithuanian
economy recover from the consequences of coronavirus (COVID-19) through the limited partnership
Pagalbos Verslui Fondas by financing business aid and capital market development measures from
funds attracted through state and capital market measures. To this end, VIKA should aim to attract up
to EUR 400 million from private investors, if needed, and invest them.
The Company’s areas of activity and direction are in accordance with the Description of Activities of
Pagalbos Verslui Fondas, approved by the Minister of the Economy and Innovation of the Republic of
Lithuania and the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania to help the Lithuanian economy
recover from the consequences of COVID-19 by financing measures to support business and capital
market development with funds raised through state and capital market measures. It is important to
mention that the specific purpose of VIKA’s activities means that VIKA’s mission, strategy and vision
are not set out in separate documents, but are instead defined in VIKA shareholder’s letter on
expectations and are in line with the established goals of VIKA’s activities.
Sustainability
The company’s position is to respond as much as possible to the issues of coherence and
sustainability in day-to-day operations. The specifics of the company’s activities and the presence of 1
employee mean that the company has not acquired any assets, does not rent or otherwise use the
company’s office, vehicles or other equipment and has no other direct costs that would affect the
environment; therefore, an analysis of the main environmental, social and economic impacts is not
applicable in this case. Moreover, the company promotes and seeks compliance with green
procurement in public procurements through the CPO LT organisation.
Company’s business plans and forecasts
In accordance with the provisions of the Participants’ Agreement 06 October 2020, with all subsequent
amendments and additions, the Company has committed to invest up to EUR 250 million in B
Pagalbos Verslui Fondas. The Company’s commitment to invest covers all transfers under payment
orders, and in any case the amount of the transfers may not exceed the amount specified in the
commitment to invest. On the other hand, the Company has the resources to increase obligations and

the cost of wages and related expenses. Since the start of operations in August 2020, significant
increase in costs can be seen in 2021.

result of which the bank applied an additional account management fee under the agreement. The fee
shall be calculated at the end of each calendar day by multiplying the total balance of the accounts by
the relevant value of the European Central Bank’s annual percentage rate of charge for that day and
dividing by 360 the number of days in the year.

RISK FACTORS
Key risk factors and their management policies
The company’s activities must comply with the Commission Decision No. C(2020) 3534 (final) of 26
May 2020 “State Aid SA.57008(2020/N) Lithuania COVID-19: Aid Fund for Business” as
subsequently amended and supplemented, and the provisions of the Description of Activities of the
Measure “Aid Fund for Business” approved by the Minister of the Economy and Innovation of the
Republic of Lithuania and the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, as subsequently
amended and supplemented. This specificity of the company’s activities determines the limited need
for risk management policy. On the other hand, the company has general risk management controls in
place.
Credit risk. This is the risk that the other party will be unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
The Company has measures in place to ensure on an ongoing basis that transactions are made with
reliable customers and that the amount of transactions does not exceed credit risk limits. The
Company has not provided guarantees for the obligations of the other parties. The Company is
exposed to the risk that the other party will be unable to meet its obligations to the Company.
Operational risk. This includes the risk of direct and/or indirect losses due to inadequate or non-
implemented internal control processes, staff errors and/or illegal actions and malfunctions of
information systems and technologies, or due to external factors. Operational risk management is
performed by implementing the internal control function, establishing procedures and plans for limiting
the possible occurrence of unforeseen risks, assessing the acceptability of the Company’s services,
analysing the processes and procedures in the Company, identifying risk factors and assessing their
adequacy.
Liquidity risk. This is the risk of not being able to meet your payment obligations on time. The
Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining a sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents,
securing funding and meeting its obligations.
Market risk. This is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to fluctuations in market variables.
The most relevant risk for the Company is the fluctuation of securities prices. The Company also did
not have any financial instruments in place to manage the risk of interest rate fluctuations. The
company invests all available financial resources in KŪB Pagalbos Verslui Fondas. As the Company
conducts all operations in euros and the open foreign currency positions are insignificant, the
Company’s foreign exchange risk is insignificant.

KŪB Pagalbos Verslui Fondas (as of the end of 2021, VIKA had invested EUR 150 million). Moreover,

the company makes additional commitments.
The company did not plan any other investments other than investments in KŪB Pagalbos Verslui
Fondas.
Investment policy
The specifics of the company’s activities mean that the need for investment policy is limited. The
company’s activities comply with the Commission Decision No. C(2020) 3534 (final) of 26 May 2020
“State Aid SA.57008(2020/N) Lithuania COVID-19: Aid Fund for Business” as subsequently
