LUXOTTICA GROUP S.P.A. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of <strong>Luxottica</strong> <strong>Group</strong> S.p.A. (an Italian corporation) and Subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and <strong>2004</strong> and the related statements of consolidated income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, <strong>2004</strong>. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of <strong>Luxottica</strong> <strong>Group</strong> S.p.A. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and <strong>2004</strong> and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, <strong>2004</strong>, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits also comprehended the translation of Euro amounts into U.S. Dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 1. Such U.S. Dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of readers in the United States of America.
