Italian Exchange Rates Office (U.I.C.).<br />

In particular, assets and liabilities not included among fixed assets and non-current financial accounts receivable are<br />

recorded at the spot exchange rate ruling at the year-end. The gains or losses arising from the conversion of accounts<br />

receivable and accounts payable have been respectively credited and debited to the Profit and Loss Account under<br />

item 17 Part 2 “Exchange gains and losses”.<br />

Any net gain deriving from the adjustment of the items in foreign currency to the year-end exchange rates is<br />

included in the result for the year and, at the time of the financial statements approval and appropriation of the<br />

operating result to the legal reserve, the part which is not absorbed by the loss for the year, if any, is apportioned to a<br />

reserve not distributable until the gain is realised.<br />

Non-current assets in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate ruling at the time of purchase or, if lower,<br />

to that in force at the year-end if negative changes have resulted in impairment of these assets.<br />

There are significant effects of the changes to the exchange rates which occurred between the year-end and the<br />

financial statements preparation date in USD. To cover this effect an allowance covering this currency risk of 94.863<br />

Euro has been accrued.<br />

Guarantees, engagements, third parties’ assets and risks<br />

Any risks in connection with guarantees, either personal or real, given for third parties, have been included among<br />

memo accounts in an amount equal to the guarantee offered.<br />

documentation).<br />
