Performance for the period In a difficult market context, characterised by projects whose implementation involves increasing complexities, the Permasteelisa Group recorded a very satisfactory 2014, both in terms of turnover and profitability, having been able to benefit from the good backlog level highlighted at the end of 2013 (approximately 1.9 billion Euros). The new orders acquired during 2014, amounting to approximately 1.4 billion Euros, have contributed to achieving an economic backlog at year-end, including Contract activities, of approximately 2 billion Euros, up compared to 2013. The trend in the growth of turnover has continued, with an increase in operating revenues moving from Euro 1,396,278 thousand to Euro 1,409,144 thousand. The Group has continued to streamline its Engineering and Production processes with a view to preserving and increasing profitability, as well as its capacity to generate positive cash flows in the different geographic and market contexts. It has also continued to develop its decentralised organisation, which is thought to be a strong point for the growth of the Group itself as it is able to accentuate its global vocation and to allow for the adoption, in different projects, of a contract implementation method involving the joint participation of various Business Units, in line with a "low-low" cost plan supported by an increasingly evolved ICT platform. The financial year 2014 showed positive profit levels, albeit affected by the manifestation of some criticalities largely in the Asian region, an area in which major reorganisation interventions are in progress. 8 The trend of investment in working capital, consistent with the increase in business volumes and the movement of turnover and business in Middle East and Asian markets, characterized by contractual terms that require a significant investment of liquidity during the execution of projects. Performance on the market: new orders, backlog, Group positioning During the 2014 year, the Group awarded new orders for Euro 1,400 million; therefore the value of the backlog of curtain wall and contract amounted to Euro 2,051 million at the end of the mentioned period. In comparison to the previous year, this two figures showed an increase and represent an important goal for the Group which is going to achieve futher growth in the next year, 2015. As shown in the table here below that provides a breakdown by product, new orders for Curtain walls amounted to Euro 1,150 million (2013: Euro 1,133 million) and those for Interiors and Other products to Euro 250 million (2013: Euro 336 million). All the orders under caption “Other products” are related to the Contract products.

Financial performance - Results The consolidated non-current assets amounted to Euro 202,927 thousand (2013: Euro 198,664 thousand); the increase of Euro 4,263 thousand compared to the closing figures of the previous year is mainly due to the positive effects of exchange rate (approximately Euro 3 million) and the increase given by new investments (approximately Euro 21 million), net of the amortization for the year (approximately Euro 20 million). The consolidated net working capital presents a positive value for approximately Euro 376,965 thousand (2013: Euro 298,352 thousand), showing an increase compared to the closing figure of the previous year due to the absorption of the operating working capital (i.e. the sum of the assets for contracts work-in-progress, inventories and trade receivables minus liabilities for contracts work-in-progress and trade payables and advances from customers) from Euro 358,146 to Euro 480,622; this increase in net working capital, connected to the growth trend of the Group and the greater exposure to the markets of the Middle and Far East, was affected by an increase in the extension granted to customers and billing terms not always timely. The Group net financial position shows at the year end a negative balance of Euro 284,650 thousand compared to the previous year negative balance of Euro 257,141 thousand, mainly due to the absorption of the operating working capital just illustrated above. The decrease in the net financial position is one of the elements reflected in the financial section of the consolidated income statement; the net financial expenses are decreased to a net financial losses equal to Euro 8,403 thousand in 2014 compared to Euro 13,498 thousand in 2013, benefiting from the positive results arising from currencies effects, as well as the reduction of onerous debts of the Indian subsidiary to the banking system, extinct as a result of the intervened recapitalization of the company. The net consolidated equity (including minority interests) rose from Euro 253,809 thousand to Euro 263,925 thousand; the positive variation for Euro 9,967 thousand is mostly due to: - profit for the period Euro 9,724 thousand - translation reserve variation Euro 25,072 thousand - hedging reserve variation Euro (21,909) thousand - gains/(losses) actuarial variation Euro (2,850) thousand - other variations Euro (70) thousand 14 Investments The trend of technical investments at Group level was as follows: 2014 2013 423 3,013 4,503 4,656 5,152 17,747 176 2,778 3,179 3,819 353 10,305 In thousands of Euro Land and buildings Machinery and equipment Equipment Other tangible fixed assets Fixed assets in progress Total technical investments The main increases were recorded in Italy for Euro 4.7 million (2013: Euro 1.5 million), in United States of America for Euro 2.1 million (2013: Euro 1.7 million), in Germany for Euro 4.5 million (2013: Euro 0.1 million), in Thailand for Euro 5.7 million (2013: Euro 0.4 million), in China for Euro 2.2 million (2013: Euro 0.2 million) and are mainly addressed to enhance production capacity and replace or renew plants and equipments.

Ph.: Courtesy of NDIA 41 Main risks and uncertainties which Permasteelisa S.p.A. and the Group are exposed to No changes in the management approach or events that generate substantial changes in the risk profiles, to which the Group is exposed to, occurred in the year ended 31 December 2014: at the same time, the market fluctuation led the Management to increase the preventive attention to the risks connected to Permasteelisa Group activity. These risks are political, technical and technological, financial and credit, environmental and commercial. The main attention is focused on financial and credit risk: certainly the present growing markets have financial and credit risks higher than those the main markets of the Group (Europe and United States) had some years ago, without however that this fact represents a real warning but only more attention. Risks associated with general economic conditions The global presence of Permasteelisa Group, as already underlined, has the positive characteristic to balance the economical risk and the negative one to multiply the exposure on risk situation in international environment. Other dangerous economic environments do not seem to be reported, except for the company rule of the promptly realization of adequate hedging on foreign currencies. Risks associated with the Group's results Despite the constant fluctuations in the market, the Group continues to prove to be able to achieve adequate “market share” year after year. It is instead evident that the market prices become more aggressive year after year, with the shift to the rising markets: in this context, Permasteelisa is proceeding to an important reallocation of its “Value proposition”. The Group’s perspective is now to be, if not "Cost Leader", a “Cost focused Differentiation Leader”, although used to be for years the Leader in Differentiation; therefore it affords "low-low" execution methods of the projects, often sharing the components among the different Business Units and choosing for each component the better positioned Business Unit for an execution with the most competitive prices in the market. In this way Permasteelisa exploits its global organization (the only one in the market) to gain competitiveness according to a not accessible way for its main competitors. An adequate Project Management and an advanced ICT support are the necessary corollary. The combination of all these actions, ongoing for several years with satisfactory results, is what allows Permasteelisa Group and its shareholders to look at every market and environment evolution with serenity and confidence. Risks associated with financing requirements The Permasteelisa Group’s financial position, after been evolving in strongly positive terms in the last years so that to represent one of the leading elements of the Group’s strength, is now less bright than in the past. The reasons are to be found in the growth process of the Group and resulting increase in working capital requirements, amplified by the greater exposure to the markets of the Middle and Far East, and at the same time in the continuation of a credit closure that, focusing on some of the main customers of the Group, inevitably had an impact on Permasteelisa. Therefore today the Group has adequate financial resources, and “committed” Back-up facilities that allow to afford safely all the projects possible requirements. Risks associated with fluctuating exchange and interest rates, commodity prices and the cancellation of assigned projects orders As already mentioned in the Management report of the previous year, as an international player on the global market, Permasteelisa Group is naturally exposed to market risks associated to fluctuation of exchange and interest rates, and of the prices of the commodities that characterize its business (aluminum). This kind of risk is hedged through tools aimed at stabilising exchange rates (currency swaps) and commodity prices (commodities swap) as soon as the projects are assigned. With regard to commodities, these risks are faced also through the careful management of transactions with reference suppliers. As a result, the “exchange rate risk” and the “commodity price risk” are outstanding and managed with the customer for the sole duration of the offer until the assignment, except if the offer (but this only happens rarely) is calculated at current exchange rate/prices. Facing the higher risks associated to exchange rates (and the interest rates on so-called “forward” exchange rates) and 42 commodities, another risk that needs to be considered is associated to the hedging operations on projects orders that are cancelled after their start date. This risk is still rather low and in any case to be considered within the right to the reimbursement to all costs borne for the cancelled projects orders. Furthermore, in the framework of the consolidation of its accounts, Permasteelisa Group is exposed to "translation" risks as a result of the variation of the Euro vis-à-vis the main currencies of payment other than the Euro. This is nevertheless a risk that is inherently part of a global company's income statement structure and has not become more critical as a result of the current general crisis of the markets. Risks associated with relationships with suppliers The relationships with the suppliers are one of the main strength of Permasteelisa Group; they are constantly kept under observation and control, therefore these risks, while potentially existing, are adequately covered by the activities performed by the Group, which help to manage any unusual situations that may arise. Risks associated with management The management of the risks associated to the Management benefits both its strong affection towards the Group and the implemented Retention policies. Risks associated with competitiveness in the areas the Group works in This risk, already mentioned in the part related to the general economic conditions, naturally increases with the movement of the market to the rising geographical markets. Permasteelisa can hardly exclude to operate in those countries, otherwise it should renounce to its leader position, and therefore have to improve its competitive advantages arising from its global structure and its core skills, but especially have to continue to refine its design, construction, installation and Project Management processes as already done until now in an excellent way. Therefore this risk, if correctly afforded to, can become an opportunity. Risks associated with environmental policies The Group's environmental policy should be considered an opportunity rather than a risk: indeed, more restrictive regulations and procedures especially in the area of bioclimatic and environmentally sustainable architecture in addition to more restrictive laws on energy saving will translate into more favorable market conditions for the company and the Group's products and advanced technologies. *** As Parent company, Permasteelisa S.p.A. is basically exposed to the same risks and uncertainties described for the Group. Further details, including more technical information on the management of some of the business risks illustrated here, are provided in the dedicated notes to both the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Statutory Financial Statements for the year. 43 The Group's organizational structure As regards the Group’s organization structure, Permasteelisa Project (Thailand) Ltd has been consolidated using the line by line method in 2014. Research and Innovation During 2014 Permasteelisa continued its path of organisational growth by implementing new processes within the Group, while the processes relating to the Tender and Site activities are still in the pre-implementation test phase. The PMF continues to be developed and now constitutes a product that represents the primary vehicle in the process standardisation and review and that was applied to an increasing number of projects throughout the year. The Group also benefits from the use of other software, for internal use and development, which is applied in building physics, structural calculations, acoustics and other areas. Permasteelisa offers all its Staff the opportunity to attend training/update courses run by the Group's Technical Directorate, the Technical Academy, on disciplines that normally form part of the production processes: specific technical courses, training on the use of 2D and 3D CAD software and on PMF, materials etc. A new figure of Lead Concept Designer has also been established in the various Group companies with the aim of promoting the research of solutions and advanced systems and coordination between the world of Offers and the world of Final Design. As regards the mere Research and Development activities, in 2014 the project study was pursued in the following fields: • Building Physics, Energy Saving, Renewable Sources. • Structural & Safety, notably on the project Bomb Blast Technology/Cablenet (blast resistant steel cable façade). • Design & Material, notably for the research of innovative materials for the building of curtain walls. • Different types of façades with alternative materials (such as wooden façades and TEC façades). • Studies of special techniques of glass protection using nanotechnologies, for example. With reference to research and development costs, it should be noted that the overall cost for the financial year recorded in the profit and loss account by the Group was equal to Euro 2,816 thousand (2013: Euro 2,891 thousand) of which Euro 126 thousand (2013: Euro 144 thousand) for the amortisation of costs that were capitalised in previous financial years under the category “Development costs” included in the item “Intangible assets”. Technical Support Group During 2014, the “Technical Support Group", or TSG, continued its monitoring activity of technical knowledge, research and sharing within the Group. Discussion and study meetings took place on the most varied activities and technical solutions, with priority defined by the projects in progress or by particular market requirements. By sharing new Processes to be implemented within the Group, we have attempted to raise awareness among personnel of a new culture of Company project management. Importantly, some technicians of the various Group Companies participated at a series of meetings, managed in collaboration with the Danish University as part of the “Design Ability” Project with the aim of gaining knowledge of the effective skills and leading to improved growth, guided in a structural manner. In addition to these activities and events, other similar days are planned with a view to consolidating the knowledge acquired for next year and for those in future. 44 Information Technology During 2014, Permasteelisa took forward a series of development and consolidation plans partly linked to a series of constraints arising from the parent company LIXIL. In particular, for the SAP world, 16 design initiatives of strategic nature linked to the Fast Closing processes at Group level (among the main ones: WIP booking automation, IAS39 calculation process, Intercompany matching, Logistic Platform Implementation) and of consolidating nature (Introduction of the new solution for managing Group consolidation processes by way of SAP BOPC) were activated and subsequently released into production. In parallel to this, there were a series of important consolidation projects such as the project for the merger of the 3 legal entities of Permasteelisa S.p.A., the release of new DDM processes for the sales and purchasing cycles area in some Group companies (Permasteelisa S.p.A., Permasteelisa Hong Kong Ltd. etc.), the consolidation of the SAP PSP module at some Group companies and the migration of the application release (ECC 6.0 EHP7). As regards the Group infrastructures area, the plan continued for the overall improvement of the quality and availability of all services provided and for compliance with the binding guidelines from the J-SOX perspective. In particular, the new IT Disaster Recovery website was activated, the complete migration of the SAP Service infrastructures was completed (new Storage, new Database engine, new Servers) and the new perimeter security architecture was designed and implemented (new Firewalls, new Web Filtering systems, etc.), a project that is gradually being activated at the main Group companies. The activities of infrastructures consolidation and IT services were also extended for ASIA. In terms of the PMF, we have proceeded to consolidate and disseminate this strategic solution even further, seeking, on one side, to extend its features and, on the other, to facilitate its application to the main projects. Of particular significance is the activity performed at Group level (involving all the Master Key Users) for mapping the priorities in the field (new features, general enhancement, problem resolution etc.). The results were analysed in detail, defining an agreed Master Plan (2015+) which the team is following as a guideline. A large amount of work was also performed in relation to the performance of the solution, in order to support, in particular, the most complex projects (this specific project will also be taken forward during 2015). Human Resources The tables here below provide the exact end-of-year and the average figures on the workforce employed by the Group compared with the previous year: Workforce at year end Area 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Variation 2014-2013 Italy Other Europe Asia Middle East Australia USA Total 822 1,453 2,864 575 56 1,349 7,119 790 1,376 2,814 686 54 960 6,680 32 77 50 (111) 2 389 439 45 Average workforce during the period Area 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Variation 2014-2013 Italy Other Europe Asia Middle East Australia USA Total 806 1,415 2,839 631 55 1,155 6,901 781 1,344 2,647 704 64 950 6,490 25 71 192 (73) (9) 205 411 The tables here below provide the exact end-of-year and the average figures on the workforce employed by the Parent Company Permasteelisa S.p.A. compared with the previous year: Workforce at year end Blue collars White collars Total 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Variation 2014-2013 220 602 822 228 562 790 (8) 40 32 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Variation 2014-2013 224 582 806 223 558 781 1 24 25 Average workforce during the period Blue collars White collars Total Human resources The economic reference framework, characterised by growing complexity and keen competition, urged the Company to reconsider its strategies and way of operating and competing in its sector, promoting integration and cooperation amongst the Group’s companies. The spreading of globalisation processes, the international openness and the desire to tackle in an integrated way large and complex processes, which until not very long ago represented a mere opportunity for growth for the company, have become one of the requirements for its existence. For those reasons, the Permasteelisa Group has been involved in a process of structural and substantial change, which has recently included the implementation of a matrix based organisational structure, the redefinition of the roles and responsibilities and the subsequent need to understand the new dynamics and strengthen the key competences needed to operate in a successful manner. The attention to the employee, seen as a key resource in the processes and organisation, was the leitmotiv behind corporate actions both in terms of management and training. The training provided during the course of 2014 gave a significant contribution to the rooting of the change that has involved the company over recent years and especially the dissemination of a common vision, with training forming 1% of the hours worked of the Italian site, reaching 14,190 hours. This figure has clearly increased compared to the 2013 figure during which 9,488 training hours were performed for internal employees (in addition to the amount of hours relating to the Permasteelisa Campus project aimed at new graduates). 46 Training was conducted along the following paths: - Development of managerial training by way of workshops dedicated to managers with the aim of supporting the implementation of the new organisation and by way of meetings aimed at supporting the performance appraisals process; - Continuing technical training; - Strengthening of language abilities; - Basic/cross-sectional training and professional training for apprentices. Management training One of the projects that involved the Management of Permasteelisa, known as “Exceed Commitment”, arises from the need to find methods and instruments to support the implementation of the new HUB SEMEA, with the aim of combining skills to meet market requirements and to support managers in managing the change as well as to implement behaviours that generate a sense of belonging, motivation and satisfaction both for the internal and external client. Based upon understanding the importance of creating a winning team, irrespective of the context, with clear leadership able to guide and motivate collaborators towards achieving objectives, bringing to life their passion, the workshops helped managers to understand the importance and urgency of reviewing the process, contributing to identifying and resolving the so-called “grey areas", redefining roles and responsibilities. The management training developed, in addition, around the performance appraisals process which, in 2014, was reviewed in order to improve the process of sharing with Management the company objectives, raising awareness about the importance of the tool for achieving the company objectives, providing support in the management of the process and in communicating with collaborators and encouraging their direct involvement to make them an active part of that process. Technical-Specialist Training In the year 2014, the project to consolidate and develop technical skills, required to operate effectively and to ensure the achievement of the Business objectives continued. Permasteelisa has maintained its commitment in that direction, achieving 18% of technical training out of the total hours provided (2595). The company persevered in its commitment to developing the Permasteelisa Technical Academy, a project with which the Group intends to support the development of technical resources at global level in a standardised and agreed manner. During the year, lessons were given relating to the modules “PTA – Structural” and “PTA – Design&Material” involving 78 people for a total of 1342 hours, where the first module was aimed at providing theoretical bases in the structural/engineering area, while the second was aimed at providing an overview on the main materials and aspects of the design of façades. To supplement this technical course, some interventions were taken forward as part of the Group procedures; more specifically, training was provided in relation to the Group Design Process (GDP) and to the Group Procurement&Production Process (GP&PP). The GDP is an important initiative developed by the Permasteelisa Group, with the aim of standardising the flow of information/activities in the processes of design and of facilitating communication, cooperation and management, while the GP&PP establishes the standards at Group level regarding the flow and control of information/activities in the procurement phases of materials and production, at which a good 76 employees participated. Together with these courses, some training/information interventions, organised in collaboration with some suppliers (Sika, Hilti), were taken forward. As regard, on the other hand, the training of apprentices, known as “basic/cross-sectional” we developed 4 training courses on the following themes: time management, meeting management, presentation skills and problem solving; 23 employees were involved on this course for a total of 868 hours. 47 Language Training As a result of the significant growth of the international context within which the Permasteelisa Group operates, language training represents an important and steady activity. During 2014 language training has reached more than 100 employees for a total of 2,000 hours of courses. In particular, the focus was on improvement of the knowledge of the English language as a basic communication tool within the Group, and also to the extension of the use of the French language as a result of new acquired projects in France. Those English and French courses are both team-taught and individually. Computer Training In 2014, computer training was characterised by a steady growth, especially as regards the study of Inventor and PMF (Permasteelisa Moving Forward). More specifically, over 2,200 training hours were carried out, with training courses on PMF, Autocad, Inventor, Revit and I logic, to name just a few. In addition, some information sessions were performed on the SAP platform developments. As regard the training of production personnel, also in 2014, a large amount of training was given in relation to Occupational Health, Prevention and Safety; courses were organised on the following themes - Update on Italian Legislative Decree no. 81/08 - Environmental Awareness Raising - Italclean Tergil - BBS: behavioural safety 2014 Corporate Welfare Actions In 2014, Permasteelisa renewed its commitment to adopting and developing a corporate welfare policy through services aimed at its employees and their families. In particular, initiatives launched in the past were maintained, such as the contribution to payment of fees for the intercompany nursery, the company library, canteen, cancer prevention programme, expanding it in 2014 with screening aimed not only at preventing tumours but also at cardiovascular diseases, as the second cause of death and thus an important area of attention for prevention. The Company renewed the initiatives of petrol vouchers for all employees and the medical policy for workers with low income or with many dependents, covering a broad spectrum of medical services ranging from hospital admissions for operations, to operations for oncology or cardiovascular diseases, to specialist treatment in cases of and in addition to orthodontic treatments. Shareholders The Company is now owned by the sole shareholder Lixil Corporation itself owned by Lixil Group Corporation. Treasury shares As of 31 December 2014 the Company does not own any treasury shares. Transactions with related parties The details of any transactions with related parties, including transactions with other Group companies, are provided in the dedicated section of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Statutory Financial Statements for the year. Unconventional or unusual operations There are no entries or transactions resulting from unconventional or unusual operations during the year 2014 having any relevance on the operating performance and the financial position for the period of the Group and of the Parent company Permasteelisa S.p.A., except the already mentioned presence (in the previous years) of a number of agency contracts agreed in previous periods with a counterparty in a Middle Eastern country, that have fees that are much higher than those normally applied in the related business; these contracts are still 48 legally valid in the country of reference and therefore, while the activities to close them are in progress, their economic and financial effects are adequately evaluated in company accounts. Significant events subsequent to year end and outlook Significant events subsequent to year end There are no significant events subsequent to year end. Business Outlook The Group looks positively towards the 2015 financial year, strengthened by an economic backlog in continuous growth and characterised by a greater incidence of the Group's historical markets such as the United States and United Kingdom than in the past. Permasteelisa continues to pursue a strategy of growth with recovery and maintenance of profitability, which should be able to benefit from the strong recovery currently underway on some markets. The commercial and strategic guidelines implementation are the means to guarantee the prosecution of the virtuous management that characterised the past years, thus allowing the Company to suitably react to the frequent and sudden market fluctuations.

Attached to that document are: the list of predicate offences updated to the date of approval of the Model, the Map of risk areas (see Risk Assessment Activity), the Risk Management Plan and the specific preventive Protocols relating to areas that are sensitive to the commission of a crime.

This table also highlights the Group’s equity investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, associated and other companies. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Permasteelisa S.p.A. Group have been prepared in Euro, which is the currency of the economic area in which the Company operates. The Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 23 April 2015 and will be submitted to the approval by the Shareholders meeting called on 30 April 2015. These financial statements are subject to audit by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. Financial tables The tables provided for the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of cash flows and of net equity changes are the same as those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2013. The statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of cash flows and of net equity changes used for the period closed as at 31 December 2014 are prepared in thousands of Euro and are characterised as follows: Statement of financial position The methods whereby assets and liabilities are broken down into “current and non-current” was adopted, with separate indication of assets and liabilities held for sale, if any. Current assets include assets (such as inventories, assets for contracts work-in-progress and trade receivables) which are sold, consumed or realised as part of the normal operating cycle, even when they are not expected to be realised within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Some current liabilities, such as trade payables and some accruals for employees and other operating costs, are part of the working capital used in the normal operating cycle. Such operating items are classified as current liabilities even if they are due to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Income statement The adopted method breaks costs down based on their nature. Statement of cash flows The indirect method was employed. Statement of net equity changes The statement that shows all the changes of the net equity was adopted. Accounting principles (a) Statement of compliance The Permasteelisa Group adopts the IFRS International Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union. IFRS is understood to include also the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) that are currently in force in addition to the interpretations made 63 available by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), previously known as the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards described in the paragraphs below, namely the same standards that were used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2013. (b) Basis of preparation The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities that, if any, are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial instruments held for trading, financial instruments classified as available-for-sale. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The accounting principles exposed in the following paragraphs have been consistently applied for all the periods included in this Consolidated Financial Statements. These accounting principles have generally been applied consistently by the Group companies in the preparation of the financial statements for consolidation purposes; but, where necessary, specific adjustments have been applied by the Company to make these financial statements in compliance with IFRS. (c) Basis of consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The subsidiaries are consolidated using the line by line method. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. All subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, unless some considered not material. Not consolidated subsidiaries are stated at their fair value. Receivables and payables, income and expenses and all relevant transaction occurred between consolidated companies, are eliminated in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, unless they are immaterial; in particular intragroup gains deriving from contracts work-in-progress realized in the Group are eliminated. The minority interests and the result attributable to minority are indicated separately in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated income statement. All consolidated subsidiaries close their year as at 31 December, except for Permasteelisa (India) Private Limited whose financial period ends as at 31 March; consequently, specific financial statements for consolidation purposes is prepared by this subsidiary as at 31 December. (ii) Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies (generally accompanied by a percentage of ownership is between 20% and 50%). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains and losses of associated companies on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the 64 date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its equity investment in an associated company, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of an associated company. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s equity investment in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (d) Basis of conversion of foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Euro at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on this translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Euro at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. (ii) Subsidiaries Financial Statements The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to Euro at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Euro at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange differences arising on retranslation are recognised directly in a separate component of equity through the statement of comprehensive income. The exchange rates used for the closing as at 31 December 2014 and the comparative exchange rates of the previous year are as follows: 31 Decembre 2014 Currency Thai Baht Brazil Real Danish Krone Norwegian Krone Dubai Dirham Australian Dollar Canadian Dollar Hong Kong Dollar Singapore Dollar Taiwan Dollar Usa Dollar Hungarian Forint Swiss Franc Croatian Kuna Turkish Lira Manat Azerbaigian Pataca Macau Philippine Peso Chinese Renminbi Malayan Ringitt Riyal Qatar Riyal Saudi Arabia Russian Ruble Indian Rupia Israeli Shekel Exchange rate at the Average exchange balance sheet date rate of the year 39.91 3.2207 7.4453 9.042 4.45942 1.4829 1.4063 9.417 1.6058 38.413256 1.2141 315.54 1.2024 7.658 2.832 0.952461 9.700628 54.436 7.5358 4.2473 4.421554 4.557329 72.337 76.719 4.72 43.162725 3.122768 7.454923 8.355114 4.880827 1.472396 1.466869 10.305172 1.682997 40.266392 1.328843 308.7045 1.214632 7.634633 2.906998 1.042478 10.614275 59.003883 8.188248 4.347216 4.838621 4.984355 51.011258 81.068883 4.746663 31 December 2013 Exchange rate at the balance sheet date Average exchange rate of the year 45.178 3.2576 7.4593 8.363 5.06539 1.5423 1.4671 10.6933 1.7414 41.139974 1.3791 297.04 1.2276 7.6265 2.9605 1.081904 11.014953 61.289 8.3491 4.5221 5.021872 5.17242 45.3246 85.366 4.788 40.823333 2.866943 7.457924 7.805069 4.878238 1.377018 1.368452 10.301767 1.661814 39.429292 1.328138 296.941167 1.230923 7.579053 2.53289 1.041777 10.610925 56.413383 8.165488 4.185508 4.835676 4.980928 42.324825 77.875258 4.795392 65 Pound Sterling Vietnam Dong Korean Won Tugrik Mongolia Japanese Yen Polish Zloty 0.7789 25,972.13140 1,324.80 2,292.755004 145.23 4.2732 0.806429 28,160.33333 1,399.0300 2,413.929167 140.37725 4.184468 0.8337 29,096.65926 1,450.93 2,288.395794 144.72 4.1543 0.849253 27,922.58333 1,453.8550 2,026.320833 129.659667 4.197082 (iii) Net investment in foreign operations Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of related hedges are taken to a specific reserve through other comprehensive income statement. They are released into the income statement upon disposal. (e) Business combinations Business combinations initiated before 1 January 2010 and completed before that date are recognized on the basis of IFRS 3 (2004). Such business combinations are recognized using the purchase method, were the purchase cost is equal to the fair value at the date of the exchange of the assets acquired and the liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. This cost is allocated by recognizing the assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities of the acquired company at their fair values. Any positive difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired pertaining to the shareholders Parent company is recognized as goodwill. Any negative difference is recognized in profit or loss. If the fair values of the asset, liabilities and contingent liabilities can only be calculate on a provisional basis, the business combination is recognized using such provisional values. The value of the non-controlling interests is determined in proportion to the interest held by minority shareholders in the net assets. In the case of business combination achieved in stages, at the date of acquisition of control the net assets acquired previously are remeasured to fair value and any adjustments are recognized in equity. Any adjustments resulting from the completion of the measurement process are recognized within twelve month of the acquisition date. Business combination carried out as from 1 January 2010 are recognized of the basis of IFRS 3 (2008). More specifically, business combination are recognized using the acquisition method where the purchase costs is equal to the fair value at the end of exchange of the assets acquired and the liabilities incurred or assumed as well as equity instruments issued by the purchaser. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized though profit or loss. This cost is allocated by recognizing the assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities of the acquired company at their fair values as at the acquisition date. Any positive difference between the price paid, measured at fair value as at the acquisition date plus the value of any non-controlling interests, and the net value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree measured at fair value is recognized as goodwill. Any negative difference is recognized in profit or loss. The value of non-controlling interests is determined either in proportion to the interest held by minority shareholders in the net identifiable assets of the acquiree or at their fair value as at the acquisition date. If the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities can only be calculated on a provisional basis, the business combination is recognised using such provisional values. Any adjustments resulting from the completion of the measurement process are recognized within twelve month of the date of acquisition, restating comparative figures. In the case of business combination achieved in stages, at the date of acquisition of control the holdings acquired previously are remeasured to fair value and any positive or negative difference is recognized in profit or loss. (f) Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments (generally forward exchange contracts and swaps) only to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk, to commodities risk and interest risk coming from its operating and financial activities in currencies other than Euro. 66 According to its treasury policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Anyway, derivative financial instruments for which the criterion to record the operations as hedging operations are not respected, are recorded as trading instruments. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss account. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (see the accounting policy described in section “g”). The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the balance sheet date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. (g) Hedging (i) Cash flow hedging (foreign currency risk) The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk coming from its operating and financial activities in currency other than Euro. In particular, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk related to the contracts work-in-progress cash flows. When the Group acquires a job whose future cash flows are denominated in foreign currency, specific forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency are concluded to hedge the foreign currency risk existing on those future cash flows; therefore these hedging operations are related to highly probable future transactions as the job that is hedged is effectively acquired when the hedging contract or contracts are concluded. Considering the length of the Group contracts, the estimation of the timing of the future cash flows is very difficult and subject to changes that can be also relevant; as a consequence, the Group policy consists in making an initial hedging of future cash flows based on a rough estimation of the future cash flows timing and subsequently in: - rolling over the forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency if at the expiry date the correspondent cash flows related to the job does not occur; - in concluding another forward exchange contract or swap on foreign currency, of opposite sign and same expiry date of the existing hedging contracts, if the cash flow related to the job occurs in advance with respect to the expiry date of the existing hedging contracts. The gains and losses deriving from the roll-over operation of these derivative financial instruments and from their evaluation at fair value are recognised directly in the net equity in a specific reserve for the effective part; these gains and losses are removed from the net equity and recorded in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects income statement; they are included in the operating revenues or operating expenses if related to hedging operations of job contracts cash flows. The ineffective part of any profit or loss is recognized immediately in the income statement as financial components. On the basis of the method used for hedging the future cash flows related to contracts work-in-progress in foreign currency, the prospective effectiveness is always included in the range requested by IAS 39 (80%-125%); any ineffectiveness can occur retrospectively only if the roll-over operations or the closing in advance of a forward exchange contract or swap on foreign currency are not performed correctly; the measurement of the retrospective ineffectiveness is therefore made continuously monitoring that these cases do not occur. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative unrealised gains or losses recognized in equity are recognised immediately in the income statement as financial components. Finally, according to the Group policy the foreign currency risk hedging is made on the spot rate; as a consequence, the difference between spot rate and forward rate recorded when a roll-over operation is performed and the interest component included in the fair value of the forward contracts or swaps on foreign currency, are always recorded in the income statement in the financial components as hedging expenses/revenues, regardless whether the contract does or does not comply with the requirements for being considered as such. 67 (ii) Hedge of monetary assets and liabilities The Group uses derivative financial instruments also to hedge economically the foreign exchange exposure of a recognised monetary asset or liability as the loans in foreign currency; in this case no hedge accounting is applied and any gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in the income statement. (iii) Cash flow hedging (rischio di prezzo su commodities) The Group uses derivative financial instruments also to hedge price risk on commodities coming from its operating activities. In particular, the Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the price risk related to aluminum purchase for the contracts work-in-progress. When the Group acquires a job whose future cash flows are related to aluminum purchase, specific forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency are concluded to hedge the price risk existing on this commodity; therefore these hedging operations are related to highly probable future transactions as the job that is hedged, with regard to the aluminum purchase, is effectively acquired when the hedging contract or contracts are concluded. In consideration of the variability of the price of aluminum, the aim of hedging is to freeze this price already since the acquisition of the order itself; subsequently, as the aluminum order as well as the relevant price are agreed with the supplier, the Group shall complete the aluminum forward purchase by completing a transaction of opposite sign. If, upon expiry of the transaction, the order has not been defined yet for the supplier, the hedging contract(s) shall be rolled over. The gains and losses deriving from the regulation of the operations on maturity, including the effect of the possible roll-over operation of these derivative financial instruments and from their evaluation at fair value are recognised directly in the net equity in a specific reserve for the effective part; these gains and losses are removed from the net equity and recorded in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects income statement (arrival of the goods); they are included in the operating expenses. The ineffective part of any profit or loss is recognized immediately in the income statement as financial components. On the basis of the method used for hedging of the price risk on the future cash flows payments related to aluminum purchases on contracts work-in-progress, the prospective effectiveness it always included in the range requested by IAS 39 (80%-125%); any ineffectiveness can occur retrospectively only if the roll-over operations or the closing in advance of an hedging contract by operation of the opposite sign when the order to the supplier is fixed are not performed correctly; the measurement of the retrospective ineffectiveness is therefore made continuously monitoring that these cases do not occur. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the losses or profits on the accumulated price difference recognized in equity are recognized immediately in the income statement as financial components. Finally, according to the Group policy the commodities price risk is made on the spot rate; as a consequence, the difference between spot rate and forward rate recorded when a roll-over operation is performed and the interest component included in the fair value of the forward contracts or swaps on foreign currency, are always recorded in the income statement in the financial components as hedging expenses/revenues, regardless whether the contract does or does not comply with the requirements for being considered as such. (iv) Hedge of net investment in foreign operation The portion of the gain or loss on an instrument used to hedge a net investment in a foreign operation that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in income statement. (h) Tangible assets (i) Owned tangible assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (depreciation criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “o”). The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, and the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. 68 Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment according to the “component approach”. (ii) Leases assets Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The owner-occupied property acquired by way of finance lease is stated at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation (depreciation criteria are reported below) and impairment losses. Lease payments are accounted for as described in accounting policy “w”. (iii) Subsequent costs The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. (iv) Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is applied from the date the tangible assets are available for use. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: - buildings plant and machinery equipment other assets 20-40 years 5-25 years 4-5 years 4-8 years The useful lives and the residual value, if significant, are annually revised. (i) Intangible assets (i) Goodwill Goodwill arising on business combinations is initially measured at cost as established at the acquisition date, as defined in the above paragraph. Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. On disposal of part or whole of a business which was previously acquired and which gave rise to the recognition of goodwill, the remaining amount of the related goodwill is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal. (ii) Research and development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization (amortization criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “o”). (iii) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization (amortization criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “o”). 69 Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. (iv) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. (v) Amortization Amortization is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available to be used are systematically tested for impairment at each balance sheet date. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: (j) rights to use intellectual property (software) trademarks and similar rights capitalised development costs backlog customer relationship 3-5 years 3 years 5 years on the basis of the economical development 20 years Trade receivables to third parties Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently recorded at the amortised cost, using the effective interest method, net of impairment losses related to amounts considered recoverable, recorded as provision. The estimation of the recoverable amounts is based of future expected cash flows. Trade receivables, whose expiry date is within ordinary trade terms, are not discounted. (k) Contracts work-in-progress Contracts work-in-progress are reported in accordance with the progress stage (or completion percentage) of the works, according to which the costs, revenues, and margin are recognised based on the progress of the productive activity. The policy adopted by the Group is the completion percentage determined by applying the “incurred cost” (cost to cost) criterion. The valuation reflects the best estimate of the contracts made as at the reporting date. Periodically, the assumptions underlying the evaluations are updated. Any economic effect is recorded in the year in which the updates have been made. The contract revenues include the payments agreed upon by contract, work changes, price revision, incentives, and any claims, to the extent that these are likely to be reliably valuated. In particular, the valuation of claims was guided, based on certain technical and legal analysis, towards the positive results that could reasonably be achieved from disputes with the customers. The contracts costs include all the costs that refer directly to the project, the costs that may be attributed to the contract activity in general and that may be allocated to the said project, in addition to any other costs that may be specifically charged to the customer based on the contractual clauses. The contract costs also include the pre-operative costs, which is to say the costs incurred in the initial phase of the contract before the construction activity is began (costs or preparing, tenders, design costs, costs for organization and start-up of production, construction site installation costs) and the post-operative costs that are incurred after the contract is closed (removal of the construction site, return of plant/equipment to base, etc.). Should the completion of a project be forecast to lead to a loss, this shall be recognised in its entirety in the year in which it may be reasonably expected. The contracts in progress are set out net of any depreciation fund and/or final losses, as well as the progress billings for the contract being carried out. This analysis is carried out on a contract by contract basis: should the difference be positive (due to contracts in progress greater than the amounts of the progress billings), it is classified among the assets (contracts work-in70 progress); on the other hand, should the difference be negative, it is classified among the liabilities (liabilities for contracts work-in-progress). Should the final losses fund for the individual contract exceed the value of the work entered in the assets, this excess is classified under the provision for risks and charges. Contracts with payment denominated in foreign currency other than the functional currency (Euro for the Group) are valuated by converting the accrued share of payments determined based on the completion percentage method, at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date for the portion yet not invoiced, and at the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date for the portion already invoiced. (l) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost determining method selected as a Group principle is the weighted average cost and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and works in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. (m) Other financial assets Other financial assets that the Group intends and is able to hold until maturity are recorded at the fair value of the initial consideration given in exchange plus the related transaction costs. Subsequently, they are valued on an amortised-cost basis using the original effective interest method. Financial assets are derecognised when, following their sale or settlement, the Group is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. (n) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include bank and post current accounts and deposits. Bank overdrafts, advances and other short-term loans which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash managements are considered as components of cash surplus or deficit for cash flow statement purposes. (o) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets The carrying amounts of tangible and intangible are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Even if there are no indication of impairment, for goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. (i) Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of their net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. (ii) Reversal of impairment An impairment loss, except if in respect of goodwill, is reversed and recorded in the income statement, only if the reasons for the impairment loss cease to exist. 71 An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (p) Equity (i) Share capital Share capital includes the subscribed and paid up Company’s share capital. (ii) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (q) Amounts payable to banks and other financial creditor Amounts payable to banks and other financial creditors are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings or loans on an effective interest basis. (r) Pension funds and other employee benefits (i) Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. (ii) Defined benefit plans The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value, and the fair value of any plan assets is deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the balance sheet date on AA credit rated bonds that have maturity dates approximating to the terms of the Group’s obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary. (iii) Severance indemnity fund Employee severance indemnity, mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to art. 2120 of the Italian Civil Code, is deferred compensation and is based on the employees’ years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service period. Starting from January 1, 2007, Italian Law introduced for employees the choice to direct their accruing indemnity either to supplementary pension funds or leave the indemnity as an obligation of the company. Companies that employ at least 50 employees should transfer the employee severance indemnity to the “Treasury fund” managed by INPS, the Italian Social Security Institute. Consequently, the Company’s obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds take the form, under IAS 19, of a “Defined contribution plan”. Under IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, the employee severance indemnity as calculated is considered a “Defined benefit plan” and the related liability recognized in the statement of financial position (Provision for employee severance indemnities) is determined by actuarial calculations. According to IAS 19 (Employee Benefits), the remeasurements of actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other components of other comprehensive income. Service cost of Italian companies that employ less than 50 employees, as well as interest expenses related to the “time value” component of the actuarial calculations (the latter classified as Finance expenses), are recognized in the separate income statement. (s) Provision for risks and charges A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimation of the obligation amount can be done. Provisions are recorded on the basis of the best estimation of the amount that the Group would pay to settle the obligation or to transfer it to third parties at the reporting period. 72 If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (t) Trade payables to third parties Trade payables are recorded at the amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade payables, whose expiry dates are within the ordinary trade terms, are not discounted. (u) Other financial liabilities The other financial liabilities are initially recorded at cost, net of any transaction costs directly attributable to their creation. Following initial recording, financial liabilities are valued on an amortised-cost basis using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, following their sale or settlement, the Group is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. (v) Revenue recognition (i) Contracts work-in-progress As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract that is calculated as based on the between costs effectively incurred and total costs included in the contract budget. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statement. (ii) Goods sold and services rendered Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed checking the work performed. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. (w) Expenses (i) Operating lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. (ii) Finance lease payments Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. (iii) Net financial expenses Net financing costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, dividends, foreign exchange gains and losses except for those related to cash flow hedging operations that are included in the operating revenues or expenses, and premiums and discounts related to all forward exchange contracts and swaps on foreign currency. Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividends income is recognised in the income statement on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established. The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets (as defined under IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs), which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised and amortised over the useful life of the class of assets to which they refer. All other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred. 73 (x) Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: - goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes arising from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability associated to the payment of the same dividend is acknowledged. This is justified by the fact that the Group is able to manage the time plan for the distribution of the reserves and it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. (y) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets (and all assets and liabilities in a disposal group) is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable IFRS. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in profit or loss, even when there is a revaluation. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent re-measurement. A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also qualify as discontinued operation. (z) New accounting principles Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied since 1 January 2014 The following accounting standards and amendments have been adopted by the Group since 1 January 2014: IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements This replaces IAS 27 – Consolidated and separate financial statements, for the part relating to the consolidated financial statements, and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special purpose entities. The previous IAS 27 was renamed Separate Financial Statements and only regulates the accounting treatment of investments in the separate financial statements. The main changes established by the new standard for consolidated financial statements are the following: 74 • IFRS 10 establishes a single basic principle for consolidating all types of entities, and this principle is based upon control. That change removes the incoherence perceived between the previous IAS 27 (based on control) and SIC 12 (based on the transfer of risks and benefits); • a more solid definition of control has been introduced than in the past, based upon the simultaneous presence of the following three elements: (a) power over the investee; (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns resulting from involvement with the same; (c) capacity to use the power to affect the amount of those variable returns; • IFRS 10 requires that an investor, in order to assess whether it has control over the investee, focuses on the activities that significantly affect the returns of the same (concept of relevant activities); • IFRS 10 requires that, in assessing the existence of control, only substantive rights, i.e. those that can be exercised in practice when the decisions relevant to the investee must be taken, are considered; • IFRS 10 provides practical guidelines to assist the assessment of the existence of control in complex situations, such as de facto control, potential voting rights, structured entities, situations in which it is necessary to establish if those who have decision-making power are acting as agent or principal, etc. In general terms, the application of IFRS 10 requires a significant degree of discretion on a certain number of application aspects. The standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The adoption of that new standard has led to the consolidation with the integral method of Permasteelisa (Project) Thailand Ltd. IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements This replaces IAS 31 – Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 – Jointly controlled entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. The new standard, subject to the criteria for identifying the presence of joint control, provides criteria for the accounts treatment of joint arrangements based upon the rights and obligations deriving from those agreements rather than on the legal form of the same, distinguishing those agreements between joint ventures and joint operations. According to IFRS 11, unlike previous IAS 31, the existence of a separate special purpose entity is not a sufficient condition to classify a joint arrangement as a joint venture. For joint ventures, where the parties have rights only on the net equity of the agreement, the standard establishes the equity method as the only method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. For joint operations, where the parties have rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the agreement, the standard provides for the direct recording in the consolidated financial statements (and in the separate financial statements) of the pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, costs and revenues deriving from the joint operation. In general terms, the application of IFRS 11 requires a significant degree of discretion in certain business sectors as regards the distinction between joint ventures and joint operations. The new standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. Following the issuance of the new standard IFRS 11, IAS 28 – Investments in associates was amended to include in its scope of application, from the date of effectiveness of the standard, also investments in joint ventures. The adoption of that new standard has not had any effects on the Group's consolidation area. IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities A new and complete standard on additional disclosure to be provided in the consolidated financial statements for each type of investment, therein including those in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, special purpose entities and other unconsolidated structured entities. The standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The adoption of that new standard did not have any effects on the information provided in the explanatory notes to the Group's consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 32 “Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities” Clarifications regarding the application of the necessary criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements (i.e. the entity currently has the legal right to offset the sums recorded in the accounts and to extinguish the residual net or to realise the assets and at the same time pay off the liability). The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements. 75 Amendments to IAS 36 “Impairment of assets - Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets". The amendments aim to clarify that the disclosures to be provided regarding the recoverable amount of the assets (including goodwill) or the units generating financial flows subject to impairment test, where their recoverable value is based on the “fair value” net of disposal costs, concern only the assets or units generating financial flows for which a loss due to impairment of value has been recorded or restored, during the financial year. In that case, it is necessary to provide disclosure on the hierarchy of the level of “fair value” in which the recoverable value falls and the valuation techniques and assumptions used (in the case of level 2 or 3). The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1st January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Amendments to IAS 39 “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement - Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting”. The amendments relate to the introduction of some exemptions to the hedge accounting requirements defined by IAS 39 in the circumstance where an existing derivative must be replaced with a new derivative in a specific case where this replacement is in relation to a Central Counterparty – CCP following the introduction of a new law or regulation. The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1st January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2014 and not relevant for the Group The following amendments are applicable from 1 January 2014 but were not considered relevant for the Group: Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 “Investment entities” For investment companies, they introduce an exception to the consolidation of subsidiaries, except in cases where those subsidiaries provide accessory services to the investment activities performed by investment companies. In application of those amendments, investment companies must value their investments in subsidiaries at “fair value”. The following criteria were introduced for the qualification as investment company and, therefore, to be able to access the aforementioned exception; • obtain funds from one or more investors with the aim of providing their investment management services; • commitment towards its investors to pursue the purposes of investing the funds exclusively to obtain returns from the revaluation of capital, from the income from the investment or both; and • measure and value the performance of essentially all the investment based upon the "fair value”. Those amendments are applied, together with the standards of reference, from 1 January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved any effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet in force and applied in advance by the Group There are no accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet in force and applied in advance by the Group. Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not adopted in advance by the Group On 20 May 2013 the interpretation IFRIC 21 – Levies was published, providing clarifications on the time to record a liability connected to levies (other than income taxes) imposed by a government body. The standard addresses both liabilities for levies falling within the scope of application of IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, and for those levies whose timing and amount is certain. The interpretation is applied retrospectively for annual years beginning on or after 17 June 2014. The directors expect that the adoption of that new interpretation will not involve effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements. 76 On 12 December 2013 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle” which incorporates changes and some principles as part of the annual improvement process of the same. The main changes concern: • IFRS 2 Share Based Payments – Definition of vesting condition. Changes have been made to the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and the additional definitions of “performance condition” and “service condition” (previously included in the definition of “vesting condition”) have been added; • IFRS 3 Business Combination – Accounting for contingent consideration. The amendment clarifies that a contingent consideration as part of a business combination classified as a financial asset or liability must be measured at “fair value” at every accounting period closing date and the “fair value” variations must be recorded in the income statement or among the elements of the comprehensive income based upon the requirements of IAS 39 (or IFRS 9); • IFRS 8 Operating segments – Aggregation of operating segments. The amendments require an entity to provide disclosure in relation to the valuations made by management in applying the criteria of aggregation of operating segments, including a description of the aggregated operating segments and the economic indicators considered in determining if those operating segments have similar economic characteristics; • IFRS 8 Operating segments – Reconciliation of total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets. The amendments clarify that the reconciliation between the total assets of the operating segments and the total of the assets as a whole of the entity must be presented only if the total of the assets of the operating segments is regularly revised by the highest operational decision-making level of the entity; • IFRS 13 “Fair value” Measurement – Short-term receivables and payables. The Basis for Conclusions of that standard has been changed in order to clarify that, with the issuance of IFRS 13, and the consequent amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 9, the possibility remains valid of accounting for short-term trade receivables and payables without identifying the discounting effects, where those effects are not material; • IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets – Revaluation method: proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation/amortization. The changes removed the incoherence in identifying amortisation provisions when a tangible or intangible asset is subject to revaluation. The requirements provided by the changes clarify that the gross carrying value is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying value of the asset and that the amortisation provision is equal to the difference between the gross carrying value and the net carrying value of the impairment losses recorded; • IAS 24 Related Parties Disclosures – Key management personnel. It is clarified that where the services of key management personnel are provided by an entity (and not by an individual), that entity is to be considered in any case a related party. • The changes are applied at the latest commencing from the annual years beginning on or after 1 February 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of those amendments. On 12 December 2013 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle” which incorporates the changes to some standards as part of the annual improvement process of the same. The main changes concern: i. IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Scope exception for joint ventures. The change clarifies that paragraph 2(a) of IFRS 3 excludes from the scope of application of IFRS 3 the formation of all types of joint arrangement, as defined by IFRS 11; ii. IFRS 13 “Fair value” Measurement – Scope of portfolio exception (paragraph 52). The change clarifies that the portfolio exception included in paragraph 52 of the IFRS 13 is applied to all contracts included in 77 the scope of application of IAS 39 (or IFRS 9) irrespective of whether or not they satisfy the definition of financial assets and liabilities provided by IAS 32; iii. IAS 40 Investment Properties – Interrelationship between IFRS 3 and IAS 40. The change clarifies that IFRS 3 and IAS 40 are not mutually exclusive and that, in order to determine if the purchase of a property falls within the scope of application of IFRS 3 or IAS 40, reference must be made respectively to the specific indications provided by IFRS 3 or by IAS 40. The changes are applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of those amendments. On 21 November 2013 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 19 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”, which proposes presenting the contributions (relating only to the service provided by the employee in the financial year) made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans in reduction of the service cost of the financial year in which that contribution is paid. The need for that proposal arose with the introduction of the new IAS 19 (2011), where it is deemed that those contributions are to be interpreted as a postemployment benefit, rather than a short-term benefit and, therefore, that that contribution must be spread over the years of service of the employee. The changes are applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 February 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment. At the date of reference of these consolidated financial statements, the relevant bodies of the European Union have not yet concluded the approval process required for the adoption of the amendments and principles described below. - On 30 January 2014 the IASB published the standard IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts which allows only first-time adopters of the IFRS to continue to record the amounts relating to rate regulation activities (“Rate Regulation Activities”) according to the previous accounting standards adopted. As the Company/Group is not a first-time adopter, that standard is not applicable. - On 6 May 2014 the IASB issued some amendments to the standard IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements – Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations” relating to the accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation whose activity constitutes a business in the meaning provided by IFRS 3. The changes require, for these cases, the application of the standard set out by IFRS 3 relating to the recording of the effects of a business combination. The amendments are applicable commencing from 1 January 2016 but they may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 12 May 2014 the IASB issued some amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and Equipment and to IAS 38 Intangibles Assets – “Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation”. The changes to IAS 16 establish that the amortisation criteria determined based upon revenues are not appropriate as, according to the amendment, the revenues generated by an activity that includes the use of the asset subject to amortisation generally reflect factors other than only the consumption of the economic benefits of that asset. The changes to IAS 38 introduce a related presumption, according to which an amortisation criterion based upon revenues is usually considered inappropriate for the same reasons established by the amendments introduced to IAS 16. In the case of intangible assets, this presumption may, however, be overcome, but only in limited and specific circumstances. The amendments are applicable from 1 January 2016 but may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 28 May 2014 the IASB published the standard IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is intended to replace the standards IAS 18 – Revenue and IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, as well as the interpretations IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenues-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The standard establishes a new model of recording revenues, which will be 78 applied to all contracts entered into with customers excluding those which fall within the scope of application of other IAS/IFRS standards such as leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The essential steps for recording revenues in accordance with the new model are: o o o o o the identification of the contract with the customer; the identification of the performance obligations of the contract; the determination of the price; the allocation of the price to the performance obligations of the contract; the criteria of recording the revenues when the entity satisfies each performance obligation. The standard is applicable commencing from 1 January 2017 but it may be applied in advance. Any impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 24 July 2014 the IASB published the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The document encompasses the results of the phases relating to Classification and Measurement, Impairment, and Hedge Accounting, of the IASB project aimed at replacing IAS 39. The new standard, which replaces the previous versions of IFRS 9, must be applied by financial statements commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Following the 2008 financial crisis, upon the application of the main financial and political institutions, the IASB began the project aimed at replacing IFRS 9 and it proceeded by phases. In 2009 the IASB published the first version of IFRS 9 which dealt solely with the Classification and Measurement of financial assets; subsequently, in 2010, the criteria relating to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and derecognition (the latter issue was transposed unaltered from IAS 39) were published. In 2013 IFRS 9 was altered to include the general model of hedge accounting. Following the current publication, which also includes impairment, IFRS 9 is to be considered completed with the exception of criteria regarding macro hedging, on which the IASB has undertaken an autonomous project. The standard introduces new criteria for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In particular, for financial assets, the new standard uses a single approach based upon the methods of managing financial instruments and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of those financial assets in order to determine their measurement criterion, replacing the different rules provided by IAS 39. For financial liabilities, on the other hand, the main change concerns the accounting treatment of “fair value” variations of a financial liability designated as a financial liability measured at “fair value” through the income statement, where these changes are due to the variation of the credit rating of the issuer of that liability. According to the new standard, those variations must be identified in the “Other comprehensive income” statement and no longer in the income statement. With reference to the impairment model, the new standard requires that the estimate of losses on receivables is performed on the basis of the expected losses model (and not on the incurred losses model) using information supportable and available at no cost or unreasonable effort, which includes historical, current and prospective data. The standard provides that that impairment model is applied to all financial instruments, or to financial instruments valued at amortised cost, to those measured at “fair value” through other comprehensive income, to receivables deriving from rental contracts and to trade receivables. Finally, the standard introduces a new hedge accounting model with the aim of adjusting the requirements provided by the current IAS 39 which have occasionally been considered too stringent and inappropriate to reflect the risk management policies of companies. The main innovations of the document concern: i. increase of the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, also including risks of nonfinancial assets/liabilities eligible to be managed in hedge accounting; ii. change of the methods of recording forward contracts and options when included in a hedge accounting relationship in order to reduce the volatility of the income statement; iii. changes to the effectiveness test by way of the replacement of the current methods based upon the parameter of 80-125% with the principle of “economic relationship” between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; in addition, a valuation of the retrospective effectiveness of the hedging relationship will no longer be required; 79 The greater flexibility of the new accounting rules is counterbalanced by additional disclosure requirements on risk management activities of the company. Any impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 12 August 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 27 - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements. The document introduces the option of using in the separate financial statements of an entity the equity method for the measurement of investments in subsidiary companies, joint control companies and associated companies. As a consequence, following the introduction of the amendment, an entity may identify those investments in its own separate financial statements alternatively: i. at cost; or ii. according to the provisions of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39); or iii. using the equity method. The changes shall apply commencing from 1 January 2016 but they may be applied in advance. Any impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 11 September 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sales or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture. The document was published in order to resolve the current conflict between IAS 28 and IFRS 10. According to the provisions of IAS 28, the profit or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a nonmonetary asset to a joint venture or associate in exchange for a share in the capital of the latter is limited to the share held in the joint venture or associate by the other investors extraneous to the transaction. Conversely, the standard IFRS 10 provides for the recording of the entire profit or loss in the case of loss of control of a subsidiary, even if the entity continues to hold a non-controlling share in the same, including in that case also the sale or contribution of a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate. The changes introduced provide that in a sale/contribution of an asset or a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate, the measurement of the profit or loss to be recorded in the financial statements of the seller/contributor depends upon whether or not the assets or the subsidiary sold/contributed constitute a business, in the exception provided by the standard IFRS 3. Where the assets or subsidiary company sold/contributed represents a business, the entity must record the profit or loss on the entire share previously held; while, in the opposite case, the share of profit or loss relating to the share still held by the entity must be eliminated. The changes apply commencing from 1 January 2016 but may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 25 September 2014 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle”. The changes introduced by the document must be applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The document introduces changes to the following standards: • IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The change introduces guidelines specific to the standard in the case where an entity reclassifies an asset (or a disposal group) from the held-for-sale category to the held-for-distribution category (or vice versa), or where the classification requirements of an asset as held-for-distribution are no longer in place. The changes define that (i) those reclassifications should not be considered as a variation to a sale plan or a distribution plan and that the same classification and measurement criteria remain valid; (ii) assets that no longer respect the classification criteria provided for the held-for-distribution should be treated in the same way as an asset that ceases to be classified as held-for-sale; • IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure. The changes regulate the introduction of further guidelines to clarify if a servicing contract constitutes a residual involvement in a transferred asset for the purposes of disclosure required in relation to the transferred assets. In addition, it is clarified that disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities is not usually explicitly required for interim financial statements. However, that disclosure may be required to respect the requirements provided by IAS 34, where it is significant information; • IAS 19 – Employee Benefits. The document introduces changes to IAS 19 in order to clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used to determine the discount rate of post-employment benefits 80 should be in the same currency used for the payment of the benefits. The changes specify that the breadth of the market of high quality corporate bonds to be considered is that at the level of currency; • IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The document introduces changes in order to clarify the requirements to be respected where the requested disclosure is presented in the interim financial report, but outside the interim financial statements. The change specifies that that disclosure should be included by way of a cross-reference from the interim financial statements to other parts of the interim financial report and that that document is available to readers of the financial statements in the same way and with the same timescales as the interim financial statements. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 18 December 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 - Disclosure Initiative. The aim of the amendment is to provide clarifications in relation to disclosure that may be perceived as impediments to a clear and intelligible preparation of financial statements. The changes made are as follows: • Materiality and aggregation: it is clarified that a company must not obscure information by aggregating or disaggregating it and that considerations relating to materiality apply to the financial statements, explanatory notes and the specific disclosure requirements of the IFRS. The disclosures requested specifically by the IFRS must be provided only if the information is material; • Statement of the capital and financial situation and comprehensive income statement: it is clarified that the list of items specified by IAS 1 for these statements may be disaggregated and aggregated as appropriate. A guideline is also provided on use of subtotals within the tables; • Presentation of elements of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”): it is clarified that the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures consolidated with the equity method must be presented in aggregate in a single item, in turn broken down between components susceptible to future reclassifications in the income statement or otherwise; • Explanatory notes: it is clarified that entities enjoy flexibility in defining the structure of the explanatory notes and a guideline is provided on how to present a systematic order to those notes, for example: i. Giving prominence to those that are most relevant for the purposes of comprehending the capital and financial position (e.g. grouping together information on particular assets); ii. Grouping together elements measured according to the same criterion (e.g. assets measured at “fair value”); iii. Following the order of the elements presented in the statements. The changes introduced by the document must be applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The directors do not expect significant effects on the Group's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting those changes. On 18 December 2014 the IASB published the document “Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28)”, containing amendments relating to issues that emerged following the application of the consolidation exception granted to investment entities. The changes introduced by the document must be applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2016; however, its advance adoption is permitted. The directors do not expect any significant effect in the Group's financial statements from the adoption of those changes as the company does not meet the definition of investment company. 81 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1.

The Group, with its rights, already legally recognized, has taken further steps to collect the reimboursement. The position of the Group is also adequately supported by the legal opinions. 5. Raw materials and consumables used and services expenses and use of third party assets With reference to the Group's activity, the comparison between different periods of the value of raw materials and consumables used and services expenses and use of third party assets is not very significant as it depends on the different costs mix of job orders executed in each period. The percentage impact of the item raw materials and consumables used over the total operating revenues increases from 31.2% to 33.2%, while the percentage impact of the item services expenses and use of third party assets over the total operating revenues decreased from 43.7% to 38.2%.

Severance indemnity fund In accordance with national regulations, the amount due to each employee accrues on the basis of the service performed and must be paid when the employee leaves the company. The payment due upon termination of the employment relationship is calculated on the basis of its duration and the taxable salary of each employee. The liability, revalued annually based upon the official cost of living index and legal interest, is not associated with any condition or accrual period, or any funding obligation; therefore, there are no assets at the service of the fund. The regulations were supplemented by Italian Legislative Decree no. 252/2005 and by Italian Law no. 296/2006 (Finance 2007) which, for companies with at least 50 employees, established that the shares accrued since 2007 are used, at the option of employees, either for the INPS Treasury Fund or for other forms of supplementary pension schemes, assuming the nature of “defined contribution plan”. The revaluations of the amounts in existence at the dates of option are, however, still accounted to the severance indemnity fund, along with, for companies with less than 50 employees, also the shares accrued and not used for the supplementary pension scheme. In accordance with IAS 19 (2011), that fund is accounted for as “Defined benefits plan”. 100 The table set out below refers exclusively to the severance indemnity fund share accrued prior to 2007.

Risk management Exposure to credit, interest rate, and commodities price and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Company’s business. Historically, derivative financial instruments are used by the Company to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Group makes hedging transactions also for the commodities price risk. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty may fail to meet commitment when it falls due and cause the Company to incur in a financial. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its contract receivables. The Company has implemented a specific Risk management system to analysis each specific tender; a rating is given to each project and customer and specific measures are applied to minimize the company’s risk; the system in place also allows monitoring subsequently the credit risk exposure on an ongoing basis. Other financial assets of the Company with exposure to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments to hedge the Company exposure to foreign currency risk. Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks with high credit ratings. Transactions involving derivative financial instruments are allowed only with counterparties that are of high credit quality. As such, the management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet their commitments. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk on specific customers or on specific geographical areas. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the statement of financial position. With reference to trade receivables, the maximum exposure to credit risks broken down by geographical area is shown here below: 106 In thousands of Euro 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Europe Asia Australia North America South America Middle East North Africa 107,098 101,195 2,114 151,129 185 101,327 88 98,660 73,034 1,675 74,237 152 120,109 161 Total gross receivables broken down by geographical area 463,136 368,028 31 December 2014 (16,862) 1,225 447,499 31 December 2013 (19,827) 449 348,650 Provision for bad debts Exchange rate differences on translation Total net receivables broken down by geographical area In the following table the trade receivables from third parties broken down by maturity: Gross receivables Provision for bad debts Net receivables 2014 2014 2014 Not past due Past due 0-180 days Past due 181-365 days More than one year 339,538 73,306 12,446 37,845 883 (118) (12) (17,614) Total Exchange rate adjustment 463,135 (16,861) In thousands of Euro Gross receivables Provision for bad debts Net receivables 2013 2013 2013 340,421 73,188 12,434 20,231 228,885 96,384 7,243 35,516 (567) (132) (653) (18,475) 228,318 96,253 6,589 17,041 446,274 1,225 447,499 368,028 (19,827) 348,201 449 348,650 At 31 December 2014 the receivables that had not yet reached the expiry date, net of the Provision for bad debts, amounted to 76% of the total (2013: 66%) and the credit due for over one year amounted to 5% (2013: 5%). Interest rate risk The Group’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest-earning assets and interestearning liabilities (amounts receivable from banks and other financial institutions or amounts payable to banks and other financial institutions). Interest rate risk is actively managed at central level to guarantee that interests payments are within acceptable levels and consistent with the Group’s business strategies. The Group does not generally use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. Sensitivity analysis The impact of a variation of 100 basis points in interest rates on the year end date would have determined an increase (decrease) of the net equity and of the results for the period for the amounts shown below. The analysis was done assuming that all the other variables, in particular the exchange rate to foreign currencies, remain stable. On the same basis has been done also the analysis of previous year. 107 In thousands of Euro 31 December 2014 Variable rate loans In thousands of Euro 31 December 2013 Variable rate loans Result for the period +100 bp - 100 bp Net equity +100 bp - 100 bp (2,762) 2,762 (2,762) 2,762 (2,762) 2,762 (2,762) 2,762 Result for the period +100 bp - 100 bp Net equity +100 bp - 100 bp (2,337) 2,337 (2,337) 2,337 (2,337) 2,337 (2,337) 2,337 Please note that the Group does not have any fixed rate loans ongoing.

The table below shows the detail of the future contractual flows of financial liabilities held by the Group, broken down into financial liabilities not associated to derivative tools and financial liabilities associated to derivative tools.

Foreign currency risk The Group incurs foreign currency risk on contract revenues and purchases and on borrowings and loans denominated in a currency other than Euro. The foreign currencies giving rise this risk are primarily United State dollars, British pounds, Japanese yens, Singapore dollars and Hong Kong dollars. Generally the contracts are hedged for the total amount denominated in foreign currency or for a percentage higher than 90%; see paragraph “g” for a detailed description of the way used by the Group to hedge its job contracts in foreign currency. In respect to monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currency other that those related to the contracts, the Group’s policy consists in minimizing the net exposure to change in interest rates by specific medium/short-term forward exchange contracts, rolled over at maturity if necessary. A 10% decrease of the Euro against the following currencies as at 31 December 2014 would have led to the following increase (decrease) of the results for the period and the net equity. The analysis has been performed considering that all the other variables, more specifically the interest rates, had remained constant. The analysis was performed on the same basis compared to the previous period. In thousands of Euro Result for the period Net equity 31 December 2014 GBP USD HKD SGD THB AUD Others In thousands of Euro 504 2,177 (213) (951) 64 13 342 504 2,177 (213) (951) 64 13 342 1,936 1,936 Result for the period Net equity 31 December 2013 GBP USD HKD SGD THB AUD Others 216 4,123 (224) (1,234) (754) (68) 898 216 4,123 (224) (1,234) (754) (68) 898 2,957 2,957 110 A 10% increase of the Euro against the following currencies as at 31 December 2014 and as at 31 December 2013 would have led to the same but opposite effect, again supposing that all other variables had remained constant. Please note that the analysis did not take into account receivables, payables and future trade flows against which the hedging operations were performed. It is reasonable to believe that the variation of the exchange rates may lead to an opposite financial effect for this item, for a same or higher amount, on the hedged transactions. Commodities price risk The Group has a price risk exposure, including the relevant foreign exchange risk, particularly on aluminum purchases, which are one of the main work order cost items for the Group. As far as managing the aluminum price risk is concerned, the Group’s policy is oriented towards minimizing the need to resort to financial markets for hedging, by conducting relations with the suppliers in order to fix the price for specific time frames. However, in the past the rather swinging trend of the aluminum price has encouraged the Group to launch a limited and selective aluminum price hedging policy for a few specific orders, where freezing the price with the supplier, for the whole period of the order, was merely impossible or not immediate in any case. For a detailed description of the Group’s practices of commodity hedging management on its own orders, please refer to paragraph “g” of accounting principles. 40. Fair value measurement There are no financial assets or liabilities whose fair value significantly differs from their carrying amount. IFRS 13 establishes a hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value by giving the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs). In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy at the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Levels used in the hierarchy are as follows: - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 December 2014: In thousands of Euro Equity investments in not consolidated subsidiaries Assets at fair value available for sale or held to maturity Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Cash and cash equivalents Total assets Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Amounts payables to banks and other financial creditors Total liabilities Notes (17) Level 1 - Level 2 - Level 3 - Total - (27) (28) - 9,790 85,917 95,707 - 9,790 85,916 95,706 (38) (30) - 38,631 370,567 - 38,631 370,566 - 409,198 - 409,197 111 In 2014, there were no transfers between Levels in the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on recurring basis: The carrying amount of Current receivables and Other current assets and of Trade payables and Other current liabilities approximates their fair value and are categorized in Level 2. The main methods and assumptions used to estimate the “fair value” of the assets and liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position according to this principle or for which its disclosure is requested by the accounting principles in the notes, are as follows: Not consolidated subsidiaries The Group holds investments in not consolidated subsidiaries with a book value equal to zero. Securities The Group presently does not hold significant amounts of securities held for trading or available for sale of held until their maturity. Cash and cash equivalents The fair value of Cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments, which consist primarily of bank current accounts and time deposits. The fair value of Cash equivalents is determined with discounted expected cash flow techniques, using observable market yields. Derivative contracts They are evaluated using listed market prices. Amounts payables to banks and other financial institutions The fair value is calculated based on discounting of future cash flows with reference to principal and interest amounts. Financial leases As described in note 30, the Group does not hold significant liabilities for financial leases. Trade receivables and payables and other receivables and payables Receivables and payables with expiring date less than one year, their carrying amount is considered to approximate their fair value. All the other receivables and payables with expiring date greater than one year are discounted to determine their fair value, except for those related to contracts monies retention; the Groups considers that retentions do not represent in any way a financing transaction with the customer due to the fact that the payments terms are beyond one year, as retentions, in the different geographical areas in which the Group operates, are within the normal applied trade conditions; consequently there is no necessity to apply any discounting. As at 31 December 2014 the Group considers that there are not retentions out of normal market conditions. 41. Commitments As the balance sheet date, the Group has the followings commitments: Operating leases In thousands of Euro Payable: less than 1 year within 1 to 5 years after 5 years 31 December 31 December 2014 2013 19,108 14,422 1,902 35,432 16,861 15,009 424 32,294 112 The Group leases a number of production sites, offices, warehouse and factory facilities under operating leases. The leases have variable length, some of them with an option to renew the lease after the expiry date. Usually lease payments are periodically increased to reflect market rental conditions. Forward contracts In thousands of Euro 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 Commitments for forward foreign exchange contracts Commitments for forward contracts on commodities 1,152,267 6,009 1,158,276 918,183 1,375 919,558 Commitments for forward foreign exchange contracts (buy) Commitments for forward foreign exchange contracts (sell) 515,493 636,774 1,152,267 331,427 586,756 918,183 Commitments for forward foreign exchange contracts (buy) Commitments for forward foreign exchange contracts (sell) 6,009 0 6,009 1,375 0 1,375 As described in the section on the accounting standards, hedging derivative transactions on foreign currency and commodities are assessed on their “fair value”. As at 31 December 2014, the assessment of the “fair value” of currency hedging brought to the entry of profit for Euro 9,790 thousand (2013: Euro 16,742 thousand) and loss for Euro 38,278 thousand (2013: Euro 7,258 thousand), booked respectively under the items forward assets (note 27) and forward liabilities (note 38). Note that these amounts refer respectively for Euro 5,552 thousand (2013: Euro 2,357 thousand) and Euro 10,340 thousand (2013: Euro 2,071 thousand) to the valuation of financial currency hedging transactions, namely those covering foreign currency assets and liabilities of financial nature. On the same date, the “fair value” valuation of hedging transactions on commodities brought to the entry of profit for Euro 0 thousand (2013: Euro 0 thousand) and loss for Euro 353 thousand (2013: Euro 84 thousand), entered respectively under the items forward assets (note 27) and forward liabilities (note 38).

The Statutory Financial Statements of the Permasteelisa S.p.A. have been drawn up in Euro, which is the currency of the economic area in which the Company operates. Permasteelisa S.p.A., as Parent Company, has also prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements of Permasteelisa Group as at 31 December 2014. The draft Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 23 April 2015 and will be submitted for approval by Shareholders’ meeting convened for 30 April 2015. These financial statements are subject to audit by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. Financial tables The tables provided for the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of cash flows and of net equity changes used for the period closed as at 31 December 2014 are the same as those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2013. The statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of cash flows and of net equity changes used for the period closed as at 31 December 2014 are prepared in thousands of Euro and are characterised as follows: Statement of financial position The methods whereby assets and liabilities are broken down into “current and non-current” was adopted, with separate indication of assets and liabilities held for sale, if any. The current assets include assets (such as inventories, assets for contracts work-in-progress and trade receivables) that are sold, consumed or realised as part of the normal operating cycle, even when they are not expected to be realised within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Some current liabilities, such as trade payables and some accruals for employees and other operating costs, are part of the working capital used in the normal operating cycle. Such operating items are classified as current liabilities even if they are due to be settled more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Income statement The adopted method breaks costs down based on their nature. Statement of cash flows The indirect method was employed. Statement of net equity changes The statement that shows all the changes of the net equity was adopted. Accounting principles (a) Statement of compliance The Statutory Financial Statements 2014 represent the separate financial statements of the Parent Company Permasteelisa S.p.A. and have been prepared according to IFRS International Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union. IFRS is understood to include also the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) that are currently in force in addition to the 131 interpretations made available by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), previously known as the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). According to the European Regulation n. 1606 dated 19 July 2002, the Company adopted the International Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) for the preparation of the separate financial statements and for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements too. These Statutory Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards described in the paragraphs below, namely the same standards that were used to prepare the Statutory Financial Statements as at 31 December 2013, except for those described in this paragraph, letter “y”. (b) Basis of preparation The financial statements are presented in Euro on the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities that are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial instruments held for trading, financial instruments classified as available-for-sale. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. The accounting principles exposed in the following paragraphs have been consistently applied for all the periods included in this Statutory Financial Statements. (c) Basis of conversion of foreign currency (i) Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to Euro at the foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on this translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to Euro at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined. The exchange rates used for the closing as at 31 December 2014 and the comparative exchange rates of the previous year are as follows: 31 December 2014 Currency Thai Bath Brazil Real Danish Krone Norwegian Krone Dubai Dirham Australian Dollar Canadian Dollar Hong Kong Dollar Singapore Dollar Taiwan Dollar United States Dollar 31 December 2013 Exchange rate at the balance sheet date Average exchange rate of the year Exchange rate at the balance sheet date Average exchange rate of the year 39,91 3,2207 7,4453 9,042 4,45942 1,4829 1,4063 9,417 1,6058 38,413256 1,2141 43,162725 3,122768 7,454923 8,355114 4,880827 1,472396 1,466869 10,305172 1,682997 40,266392 1,328843 45,178 3,2576 7,4593 8,363 5,06539 1,5423 1,4671 10,6933 1,7414 41,139974 1,3791 40,823333 2,866943 7,457924 7,805069 4,878238 1,377018 1,368452 10,301767 1,661814 39,429292 1,328138 132 Hungarian Forint Swiss Franc Croatian Kuna Turkish Lira Manat Azerbaigian Pataca Macau Philippine Peso Chinese Renminbi Malayan Ringitt Riyal Qatar Riyal Saudi Arabia Russian Ruble Indian Rupia Israeli Shekel Pound Sterling Vietnam Dong Korean Won Mongol Tugrik Japanese Yen Polish Zloty 315,54 1,2024 7,658 2,832 0,952461 9,700628 54,436 7,5358 4,2473 4,421554 4,557329 72,337 76,719 4,72 0,7789 25.972.131395 1,324,80 2,292.755004 145,23 4,2732 308,704500 1,214632 7,634633 2,906998 1,042478 10,614275 59,003883 8,188248 4,347216 4,838621 4,984355 51,011258 81,068883 4,746663 0,806429 28,160.333333 1,399,030000 2,413.929167 140,377250 4,184468 297,04 1,2276 7,6265 2,9605 1,081904 11,014953 61,289 8,3491 4,5221 5,021872 5,17242 45,3246 85,366 4,788 0,8337 29,096.65926 1,450,93 2,288.395794 144,72 4,1543 296,941167 1,230923 7,579053 2,53289 1,041777 10,610925 56,413383 8,165488 4,185508 4,835676 4,980928 42,324825 77,875258 4,795392 0,849253 27,922.58333 1,453,8550 2,026.320833 129,659667 4,197082 (d) Derivative financial instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments (generally forward exchange contracts and swaps) only to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk, to commodities risk and interest risk coming from its operating and financial activities. According to its treasury policy, the Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Anyway, derivative financial instruments for which the criterion to record the operations as hedging operations are not respected, are recorded as trading instruments. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss account. However, where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (see the accounting policy described in “e”. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their quoted market price at the balance sheet date, being the present value of the quoted forward price. (e) Hedging (i) Cash flow hedging (foreign currency risk) The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk coming from its operating and financial activities. In particular, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk related to the contracts work-in-progress cash flows. When the Company acquires a job whose future cash flows are denominated in foreign currency, specific forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency are concluded to hedge the foreign currency risk existing on those future cash flows; therefore these hedging operations are related to highly probable future transactions as the job that is hedged is effectively acquired when the hedging contract or contracts are concluded. Considering the length of the Company contracts, the estimation of the timing of the future cash flows is very difficult and subject to changes that can be also relevant; as a consequence, the Company policy consists in making an initial hedging of future cash flows based on an rough estimation of the future cash flows timing and subsequently in: - rolling over the forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency if at the expiry date the correspondent cash flows related to the job does not occur; 133 - in concluding another forward exchange contract or swap on foreign currency, of opposite sign and same expiry date of the existing hedging contracts, if the cash flow related to the job occurs in advance with respect to the expiry date of the existing hedging contracts. The gains and losses deriving from the roll-over operation of these derivative financial instruments and from their evaluation at fair value are recognised directly in the net equity in a specific reserve for the effective part; these gains and losses are removed from the net equity and recorded in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects income statement; they are included in the operating revenues or operating expenses if related to hedging operations of job contracts cash flows. The ineffective part of any gain or loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. The Company does not measure the prospective effectiveness of its hedging operations as, on the basis of the method used for hedging the future cash flows related to contracts work-in-progress in foreign currency, the Company considers that it always included in the range requested by IAS 39 (80%-125%); any ineffectiveness can occur retrospectively only if the roll-over operations or the closing in advance of a forward exchange contract or swap on foreign currency are not performed correctly; the measurement of the retrospective ineffectiveness is therefore made continuously monitoring that these cases do not occur. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to take place, the cumulative unrealised gains or losses recognised in equity are recognised immediately in the income statement as financial components. Finally, according to the Company policy the foreign currency risk hedging is made on the spot rate; as a consequence, the difference between spot rate and forward rate recorded when a roll-over operation is performed and the interest component included in the fair value of the forward contracts or swaps on foreign currency, are always recorded in the income statement in the financial components as hedging expenses/revenues, regardless whether the contract does or does not comply with the requirements for being considered as such. (ii) Hedge of monetary assets and liabilities The Company uses derivative financial instruments also to hedge economically the foreign exchange exposure of a recognised monetary asset or liability as the loans in foreign currency; in this case no hedge accounting is applied and any gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in the income statement. (iii) Cash flow hedging (Commodities Risk) The Company uses derivative financial instruments also to hedge price risk on commodities coming from its operating activities. In particular, the Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the price risk related to aluminium purchase for the contracts work-in-progress. When the Company acquires a job whose future cash flows are related to aluminium purchase, specific forward exchange contracts or swaps on foreign currency are concluded to hedge the price risk existing on this commodity; therefore these hedging operations are related to highly probable future transactions as the job that is hedged, with regard to the aluminium purchase, is effectively acquired when the hedging contract or contracts are concluded. In consideration of the variability of the price of aluminium, the aim of hedging is to freeze this price already since the acquisition of the order itself; subsequently, as the aluminium order, as well as the relevant price are agreed with the supplier, the Company shall complete the aluminium forward purchase by completing a transaction of opposite sign. If, upon expiry of the transaction, the order has not been defined yet for the supplier, the hedging contract(s) shall be rolled over. The gains and losses deriving from the regulation of the operations on maturity, including the effect of the possible roll-over operation of these derivative financial instruments and from their evaluation at fair value are recognised directly in the net equity in a specific reserve for the effective part; these gains and losses are removed from the net equity and recorded in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects income statement (arrival of the goods); they are included in the operating expenses. The ineffective part of any profit or loss is recognised immediately in the financial entries of the income statement. 134 The Company does not measure the prospective effectiveness of its hedging operations as, on the basis of the method used for hedging of the price risk on the future cash flows payments related to aluminium purchases on contracts work-in-progress, the Company considers that it always included in the range requested by IAS 39 (80%-125%); any ineffectiveness can occur retrospectively only if the roll-over operations or the closing in advance of an hedging contract by operation of the opposite sign when the order to the supplier is fixed are not performed correctly; the measurement of the retrospective ineffectiveness is therefore made continuously monitoring that these cases do not occur. If the hedged transaction is not expected to occur again in the future, the losses or profit on the accumulated price difference entered in the net equity are immediately acknowledged and entered into its financial items. Finally, according to the Company policy the price risk on commodities is made on the spot rate; as a consequence, the difference between spot rate and forward rate recorded when a roll-over operation is performed and the interest component included in the fair value of the forward contracts or swaps on foreign currency, are always recorded in the income statement in the financial components as hedging expenses/revenues, regardless whether the contract does or does not comply with the requirements for being considered as such. (f) Tangible assets (i) Owned tangible assets Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (depreciation criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “n”). The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour, and the initial estimate, where relevant, of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and an appropriate proportion of production overheads. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment according to the “component approach”. (ii) Subsequent costs The Company recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Depreciation is applied from the date the tangible assets are available for use. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows: - buildings plant and machinery equipment other assets 33 years 7-25 years 4-5 years 4-8 years The useful lives and the residual value, if significant, are annually revised. (g) Intangible assets (i) Research and development Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. 135 Capitalised development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization (amortization criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “n”). (ii) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization (amortization criteria are reported below) and impairment losses (see accounting policy “n”). Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred. (iii) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure on capitalised intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as income statement when incurred. (iv) Amortization Amortization is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets unless such lives are indefinite. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available to be used are systematically tested for impairment at each balance sheet date. Other intangible assets are amortised from the date they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: - rights to use intellectual property (software) capitalised development costs backlog customer relationship 3-5 years 5 years on the basis of the economical development 20 years (h) Investments in subsidiaries and associate companies Investments in subsidiaries and associate companies are stated at cost adjusted for any impairment losses. Any positive difference, arising on acquisition, between the purchase cost and the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company in the investee company is, accordingly, included in the carrying amount of the investment. Investments in subsidiaries and associate companies are tested annually, or more often if necessary, for impairment. Where evidence of impairment exists, an impairment loss is recognized directly in the income statement as devalutation. If the company’s share of losses of the investee exceeds the carrying amount of the investment and if the company has an obligation or intention to cover these losses, the value of the investment is reduced to zero and the and the share of additional losses is recognized as a provision in the liabilities. If the impairment loss subsequently no longer exists or is reduced, a reversal is recognized in the income statement up to the limit of the cost of the investment. (i) Trade receivables to third parties Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently recorded at the amortised cost, using the effective interest method, net of impairment losses related to amounts considered recoverable, recorded as provision. The estimation of the recoverable amounts is based of future expected cash flows. Trade receivables, whose expiry date is within ordinary trade terms, are not discounted. (j) Contracts work-in-progress Contracts work-in-progress are reported in accordance with the progress stage (or completion percentage) of the works, according to which the costs, revenues, and margin are recognised based on the progress of the productive activity. The policy adopted by the Company is the completion percentage determined by applying the “incurred cost” (cost to cost) criterion. 136 The valuation reflects the best estimate of the contracts made as at the reporting date. Periodically, the assumptions underlying the evaluations are updated. Any economic effect is recorded in the year in which the updates have been made. The contract revenues include the payments agreed upon by contract, work changes, price revision, incentives, and any claims, to the extent that these are likely to be reliably valuated. In particular, the valuation of claims was guided, based on certain technical and legal analysis, towards the positive results that could reasonably be achieved from disputes with the customers. The contracts costs include all the costs that refer directly to the project, the costs that may be attributed to the contract activity in general and that may be allocated to the said project, in addition to any other costs that may be specifically charged to the customer based on the contractual clauses. The contract costs also include the pre-operative costs, which is to say the costs incurred in the initial phase of the contract before the construction activity is began (costs or preparing, tenders, design costs, costs for organization and start-up of production, construction site installation costs) and the post-operative costs that are incurred after the contract is closed (removal of the construction site, return of plant/equipment to base, etc.). Should the completion of a project be forecast to lead to a loss, this shall be recognised in its entirety in the year in which it may be reasonably expected. The contracts in progress are set out net of any depreciation fund and/or final losses, as well as the progress billings for the contract being carried out. This analysis is carried out on a contract by contract basis: should the difference be positive (due to contracts in progress greater than the amounts of the progress billings), it is classified among the assets (contracts work-inprogress); on the other hand, should the difference be negative, it is classified among the liabilities (liabilities for contracts work-in-progress). Should the final losses fund for the individual contract exceed the value of the work entered in the assets, this excess is classified under the provision for risks and charges. Contracts with payment denominated in foreign currency other than the functional currency (Euro for the Company) are valuated by converting the accrued share of payments determined based on the completion percentage method, at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date for the portion yet not invoiced, and at the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date for the portion already invoiced. (k) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost determining method is the weighted average cost and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and works in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity. (l) Other financial assets Other financial assets that the Company intends and is able to hold until maturity are recorded at the fair value of the initial consideration given in exchange plus the related transaction costs. Subsequently, they are valued on an amortised-cost basis using the original effective interest method. Financial assets are derecognised when, following their sale or settlement, the Company is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. (m) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include bank and post current accounts and deposits. Bank overdrafts, advances and other short-term loans which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash managements are considered as components of cash surplus or deficit for cash flow statement purposes. 137 (n) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets The carrying amounts of tangible and intangible are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Even if there are no indication of impairment, for goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis. (i) Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of their net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. (ii) Reversal of impairment An impairment loss, except if in respect of goodwill, is reversed and recorded in the income statement, only if the reasons for the impairment loss cease to exist. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognise. (o) Equity (i) Share capital Share capital includes the subscribed and paid up Company’s share capital. (ii) Dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability in the period in which they are declared. (iii) Treasury shares Treasury shares are entered as write-down of the shareholder’s equity. The original cost of treasury shares and the income arising from their subsequent sale, if pertinent, are entered as movements in the shareholder’s equity. (p) Amounts payable to banks and other financial creditors Amounts payable to banks and other financial creditors are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings or loans on an effective interest basis. (q) Pension funds and other employee benefits (i) Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. (ii) Severance indemnity fund Employee severance indemnity, mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to art. 2120 of the Italian Civil Code, is deferred compensation and is based on the employees’ years of service and the compensation earned by the employee during the service period. Starting from January 1, 2007, Italian Law introduced for employees the choice to direct their accruing indemnity either to supplementary pension funds or leave the indemnity as an obligation of the company. Companies that 138 employ at least 50 employees should transfer the employee severance indemnity to the “Treasury fund” managed by INPS, the Italian Social Security Institute. Consequently, the Company’s obligation to INPS and the contributions to supplementary pension funds take the form, under IAS 19, of a “Defined contribution plan” Under IAS 19 - Employee Benefits, the employee severance indemnity as calculated is considered a “Defined benefit plan” and the related liability recognized in the statement of financial position (Provision for employee severance indemnities) is determined by actuarial calculations. According to IAS 19 (Employee Benefits), the remeasurements of actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other components of other comprehensive income. Service cost of Italian companies that employ less than 50 employees, as well as interest expenses related to the “time value” component of the actuarial calculations (the latter classified as Finance expenses), are recognized in the separate income statement. The discount rate is that attributable to obligations with “AA“ rating with due date similar to that relating to the obligation of the Company. The calculation is done by an independent qualified actuary. (r) Provision for risks and charges A provision is recognised in the statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimation of the obligation amount can be done. Provisions are recorded on the basis of the best estimation of the amount that the Company would pay to settle the obligation or to transfer it to third parties at the reporting period. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. (s) Trade payables to third parties Trade payables are recorded at the amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Trade payables, whose expiry dates are within the ordinary trade terms, are not discounted. (t) Other financial liabilities The other financial liabilities are initially recorded at cost, corresponding to the “fair value” of the liability net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of that financial liability. Following initial recording, financial liabilities are valued on an amortised-cost basis using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when, following their sale or settlement, the Company is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. (u) Revenue recognition (i) Contracts work-in-progress As soon as the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract that is calculated as based on the between costs effectively incurred and total costs included in the contract budget. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in the income statement. (ii) Goods sold and services rendered Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion is assessed checking the work performed. No revenue is recognised if there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. 139 (v) Expenses (i) Operating lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense. (ii) Net financial expenses Net financing costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, dividends, foreign exchange gains and losses except for those related to cash flow hedging operations that are included in the operating revenues or expenses, and premiums and discounts related to all forward exchange contracts and swaps on foreign currency. Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividends income is recognised in the income statement on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established. The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate method. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets (as defined under IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs), which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised and amortised over the useful life of the class of assets to which they refer. All other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred. (w) Income tax Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: - goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend. This is justified by the fact that the Company is able to manage the time plan for the distribution of the reserves and it is quite possible that they will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. 140 (x) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets (and all assets and liabilities in a disposal group) is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable IFRS. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in profit and loss, even when there is a revaluation. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent re-measurement. A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also qualify as discontinued operation if the criteria mentioned above are observed. (y) New accounting principles Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied since 1 January 2014 Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied since 1 January 2014 are: IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements This replaces IAS 31 – Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 – Jointly controlled entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. The new standard, subject to the criteria for identifying the presence of joint control, provides criteria for the accounts treatment of joint arrangements based upon the rights and obligations deriving from those agreements rather than on the legal form of the same, distinguishing those agreements between joint ventures and joint operations. According to IFRS 11, unlike previous IAS 31, the existence of a separate special purpose entity is not a sufficient condition to classify a joint arrangement as a joint venture. For joint ventures, where the parties have rights only on the net equity of the agreement, the standard establishes the equity method as the only method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements. For joint operations, where the parties have rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the agreement, the standard provides for the direct recording in the consolidated financial statements (and in the separate financial statements) of the pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, costs and revenues deriving from the joint operation. In general terms, the application of IFRS 11 requires a significant degree of discretion in certain business sectors as regards the distinction between joint ventures and joint operations. The new standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. Following the issuance of the new standard IFRS 11, IAS 28 – Investments in associates was amended to include in its scope of application, from the date of effectiveness of the standard, also investments in joint ventures. The adoption of that new standard has not had any effects. IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities A new and complete standard on additional disclosure to be provided in the consolidated financial statements for each type of investment, therein including those in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, special purpose entities and other unconsolidated structured entities. The standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The adoption of that new standard did not have any effects on the information provided in the explanatory notes to the Company financial statements. Amendments to IAS 32 “Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities” Clarifications regarding the application of the necessary criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities in the financial statements (i.e. the entity currently has the legal right to offset the sums recorded in the accounts and to extinguish the residual net or to realise the assets and at the same time pay off the liability). The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Company financial statements. 141 Amendments to IAS 36 “Impairment of assets - Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets". The amendments aim to clarify that the disclosures to be provided regarding the recoverable amount of the assets (including goodwill) or the units generating financial flows subject to impairment test, where their recoverable value is based on the “fair value” net of disposal costs, concern only the assets or units generating financial flows for which a loss due to impairment of value has been recorded or restored, during the financial year. In that case, it is necessary to provide disclosure on the hierarchy of the level of “fair value” in which the recoverable value falls and the valuation techniques and assumptions used (in the case of level 2 or 3). The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1st January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Company financial statements. Amendments to IAS 39 “Financial instruments: recognition and measurement - Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting”. The amendments relate to the introduction of some exemptions to the hedge accounting requirements defined by IAS 39 in the circumstance where an existing derivative must be replaced with a new derivative in a specific case where this replacement is in relation to a Central Counterparty – CCP following the introduction of a new law or regulation. The amendments are applied retrospectively from 1st January 2014. The adoption of those amendments has not involved effects on the Company financial statements. Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2014 and not relevant for the Group There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations not yet applicable and early adopted by the Company that would be expected to have material impact on the Company. Accounting standards and amendments not yet applicable and not adopted in advance by the Company On 20 May 2013 the interpretation IFRIC 21 – Levies was published, providing clarifications on the time to record a liability connected to levies (other than income taxes) imposed by a government body. The standard addresses both liabilities for levies falling within the scope of application of IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, and for those levies whose timing and amount is certain. The interpretation is applied retrospectively for annual years beginning on or after 17 June 2014. The directors expect that the adoption of that new interpretation will not involve effects on the Company financial statements. On 12 December 2013 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle” which incorporates changes and some principles as part of the annual improvement process of the same. The main changes concern: • IFRS 2 Share Based Payments – Definition of vesting condition. Changes have been made to the definitions of “vesting condition” and “market condition” and the additional definitions of “performance condition” and “service condition” (previously included in the definition of “vesting condition”) have been added; • IFRS 8 Operating segments – Aggregation of operating segments. The amendments require an entity to provide disclosure in relation to the valuations made by management in applying the criteria of aggregation of operating segments, including a description of the aggregated operating segments and the economic indicators considered in determining if those operating segments have similar economic characteristics; • IFRS 8 Operating segments – Reconciliation of total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets. The amendments clarify that the reconciliation between the total assets of the operating segments and the total of the assets as a whole of the entity must be presented only if the total of the assets of the operating segments is regularly revised by the highest operational decision-making level of the entity; • IFRS 13 “Fair value” Measurement – Short-term receivables and payables. The Basis for Conclusions of that standard has been changed in order to clarify that, with the issuance of IFRS 13, and the consequent amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 9, the possibility remains valid of accounting for short-term 142 trade receivables and payables without identifying the discounting effects, where those effects are not material; • IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets – Revaluation method: proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation/amortization. The changes removed the incoherence in identifying amortisation provisions when a tangible or intangible asset is subject to revaluation. The requirements provided by the changes clarify that the gross carrying value is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying value of the asset and that the amortisation provision is equal to the difference between the gross carrying value and the net carrying value of the impairment losses recorded; • IAS 24 Related Parties Disclosures – Key management personnel. It is clarified that where the services of key management personnel are provided by an entity (and not by an individual), that entity is to be considered in any case a related party. • The changes are applied at the latest commencing from the annual years beginning on or after 1 February 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of those amendments. On 12 December 2013 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle” which incorporates the changes to some standards as part of the annual improvement process of the same. The main changes concern: - IFRS 13 “Fair value” Measurement – Scope of portfolio exception (paragraph 52). The change clarifies that the portfolio exception included in paragraph 52 of the IFRS 13 is applied to all contracts included in the scope of application of IAS 39 (or IFRS 9) irrespective of whether or not they satisfy the definition of financial assets and liabilities provided by IAS 32; - IAS 40 Investment Properties – Interrelationship between IFRS 3 and IAS 40. The change clarifies that IFRS 3 and IAS 40 are not mutually exclusive and that, in order to determine if the purchase of a property falls within the scope of application of IFRS 3 or IAS 40, reference must be made respectively to the specific indications provided by IFRS 3 or by IAS 40. The changes are applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of those amendments. On 21 November 2013 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 19 “Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”, which proposes presenting the contributions (relating only to the service provided by the employee in the financial year) made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans in reduction of the service cost of the financial year in which that contribution is paid. The need for that proposal arose with the introduction of the new IAS 19 (2011), where it is deemed that those contributions are to be interpreted as a postemployment benefit, rather than a short-term benefit and, therefore, that that contribution must be spread over the years of service of the employee. The changes are applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 February 2015. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of this amendment. At the date of reference of these consolidated financial statements, the relevant bodies of the European Union have not yet concluded the approval process required for the adoption of the amendments and principles described below. - On 30 January 2014 the IASB published the standard IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts which allows only first-time adopters of the IFRS to continue to record the amounts relating to rate regulation activities (“Rate Regulation Activities”) according to the previous accounting standards adopted. As the Company is not a first-time adopter, that standard is not applicable. - On 6 May 2014 the IASB issued some amendments to the standard IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements – Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations” relating to the accounting for acquisitions of interests in a joint operation whose activity constitutes a business in the meaning provided by IFRS 3. The 143 changes require, for these cases, the application of the standard set out by IFRS 3 relating to the recording of the effects of a business combination. The amendments are applicable commencing from 1 January 2016 but they may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 12 May 2014 the IASB issued some amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and Equipment and to IAS 38 Intangibles Assets – “Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation”. The changes to IAS 16 establish that the amortisation criteria determined based upon revenues are not appropriate as, according to the amendment, the revenues generated by an activity that includes the use of the asset subject to amortisation generally reflect factors other than only the consumption of the economic benefits of that asset. The changes to IAS 38 introduce a related presumption, according to which an amortisation criterion based upon revenues is usually considered inappropriate for the same reasons established by the amendments introduced to IAS 16. In the case of intangible assets, this presumption may, however, be overcome, but only in limited and specific circumstances. The amendments are applicable from 1 January 2016 but may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 28 May 2014 the IASB published the standard IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is intended to replace the standards IAS 18 – Revenue and IAS 11 – Construction Contracts, as well as the interpretations IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenues-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The standard establishes a new model of recording revenues, which will be applied to all contracts entered into with customers excluding those which fall within the scope of application of other IAS/IFRS standards such as leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments. The essential steps for recording revenues in accordance with the new model are: o o o o o the identification of the contract with the customer; the identification of the performance obligations of the contract; the determination of the price; the allocation of the price to the performance obligations of the contract; the criteria of recording the revenues when the entity satisfies each performance obligation. The standard is applicable commencing from 1 January 2017 but it may be applied in advance. Any impacts on the Company financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 24 July 2014 the IASB published the final version of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. The document encompasses the results of the phases relating to Classification and Measurement, Impairment, and Hedge Accounting, of the IASB project aimed at replacing IAS 39. The new standard, which replaces the previous versions of IFRS 9, must be applied by financial statements commencing on or after 1 January 2018. Following the 2008 financial crisis, upon the application of the main financial and political institutions, the IASB began the project aimed at replacing IFRS 9 and it proceeded by phases. In 2009 the IASB published the first version of IFRS 9 which dealt solely with the Classification and Measurement of financial assets; subsequently, in 2010, the criteria relating to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and derecognition (the latter issue was transposed unaltered from IAS 39) were published. In 2013 IFRS 9 was altered to include the general model of hedge accounting. Following the current publication, which also includes impairment, IFRS 9 is to be considered completed with the exception of criteria regarding macro hedging, on which the IASB has undertaken an autonomous project. The standard introduces new criteria for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In particular, for financial assets, the new standard uses a single approach based upon the methods of managing financial instruments and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of those financial assets in order to determine their measurement criterion, replacing the different rules provided by IAS 39. For financial liabilities, on the other hand, the main change concerns the accounting treatment of “fair value” variations of a financial liability designated as a financial liability measured at “fair value” through the income statement, where these changes are due to the variation of the credit rating of the issuer of that 144 liability. According to the new standard, those variations must be identified in the “Other comprehensive income” statement and no longer in the income statement. With reference to the impairment model, the new standard requires that the estimate of losses on receivables is performed on the basis of the expected losses model (and not on the incurred losses model) using information supportable and available at no cost or unreasonable effort, which includes historical, current and prospective data. The standard provides that that impairment model is applied to all financial instruments, or to financial instruments valued at amortised cost, to those measured at “fair value” through other comprehensive income, to receivables deriving from rental contracts and to trade receivables. Finally, the standard introduces a new hedge accounting model with the aim of adjusting the requirements provided by the current IAS 39 which have occasionally been considered too stringent and inappropriate to reflect the risk management policies of companies. The main innovations of the document concern: i. ii. iii. increase of the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, also including risks of nonfinancial assets/liabilities eligible to be managed in hedge accounting; change of the methods of recording forward contracts and options when included in a hedge accounting relationship in order to reduce the volatility of the income statement; changes to the effectiveness test by way of the replacement of the current methods based upon the parameter of 80-125% with the principle of “economic relationship” between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; in addition, a valuation of the retrospective effectiveness of the hedging relationship will no longer be required; The greater flexibility of the new accounting rules is counterbalanced by additional disclosure requirements on risk management activities of the company. Any impacts on the Company financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 12 August 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 27 - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements. The document introduces the option of using in the separate financial statements of an entity the equity method for the measurement of investments in subsidiary companies, joint control companies and associated companies. As a consequence, following the introduction of the amendment, an entity may identify those investments in its own separate financial statements alternatively: i. ii. iii. at cost; or according to the provisions of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39); or using the equity method. The changes shall apply commencing from 1 January 2016 but they may be applied in advance. Any impacts on the Company financial statements deriving from those changes are currently being assessed. - On 11 September 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sales or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture. The document was published in order to resolve the current conflict between IAS 28 and IFRS 10. According to the provisions of IAS 28, the profit or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a nonmonetary asset to a joint venture or associate in exchange for a share in the capital of the latter is limited to the share held in the joint venture or associate by the other investors extraneous to the transaction. Conversely, the standard IFRS 10 provides for the recording of the entire profit or loss in the case of loss of control of a subsidiary, even if the entity continues to hold a non-controlling share in the same, including in that case also the sale or contribution of a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate. The changes introduced provide that in a sale/contribution of an asset or a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate, the measurement of the profit or loss to be recorded in the financial statements of the seller/contributor depends upon whether or not the assets or the subsidiary sold/contributed constitute a business, in the exception provided by the standard IFRS 3. Where the assets or subsidiary company sold/contributed represents a business, the entity must record the profit or loss on the entire share previously held; while, in the opposite case, the share of profit or loss relating to the share still held by the entity must be eliminated. The changes apply commencing from 1 January 2016 but may be applied in advance. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. 145 - On 25 September 2014 the IASB published the document “Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle”. The changes introduced by the document must be applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The document introduces changes to the following standards: • IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The change introduces guidelines specific to the standard in the case where an entity reclassifies an asset (or a disposal group) from the held-for-sale category to the held-for-distribution category (or vice versa), or where the classification requirements of an asset as held-for-distribution are no longer in place. The changes define that (i) those reclassifications should not be considered as a variation to a sale plan or a distribution plan and that the same classification and measurement criteria remain valid; (ii) assets that no longer respect the classification criteria provided for the held-for-distribution should be treated in the same way as an asset that ceases to be classified as held-for-sale; • IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure. The changes regulate the introduction of further guidelines to clarify if a servicing contract constitutes a residual involvement in a transferred asset for the purposes of disclosure required in relation to the transferred assets. In addition, it is clarified that disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities is not usually explicitly required for interim financial statements. However, that disclosure may be required to respect the requirements provided by IAS 34, where it is significant information; • IAS 19 – Employee Benefits. The document introduces changes to IAS 19 in order to clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used to determine the discount rate of post-employment benefits should be in the same currency used for the payment of the benefits. The changes specify that the breadth of the market of high quality corporate bonds to be considered is that at the level of currency; The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company financial statements from the adoption of these amendments. - On 18 December 2014 the IASB published the amendment to IAS 1 - Disclosure Initiative. The aim of the amendment is to provide clarifications in relation to disclosure that may be perceived as impediments to a clear and intelligible preparation of financial statements. The changes made are as follows: • Materiality and aggregation: it is clarified that a company must not obscure information by aggregating or disaggregating it and that considerations relating to materiality apply to the financial statements, explanatory notes and the specific disclosure requirements of the IFRS. The disclosures requested specifically by the IFRS must be provided only if the information is material; • Statement of the capital and financial situation and comprehensive income statement: it is clarified that the list of items specified by IAS 1 for these statements may be disaggregated and aggregated as appropriate. A guideline is also provided on use of subtotals within the tables; • Presentation of elements of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”): it is clarified that the share of OCI of associates and joint ventures consolidated with the equity method must be presented in aggregate in a single item, in turn broken down between components susceptible to future reclassifications in the income statement or otherwise; • Explanatory notes: it is clarified that entities enjoy flexibility in defining the structure of the explanatory notes and a guideline is provided on how to present a systematic order to those notes, for example: i. ii. iii. Giving prominence to those that are most relevant for the purposes of comprehending the capital and financial position (e.g. grouping together information on particular assets); Grouping together elements measured according to the same criterion (e.g. assets measured at “fair value”); Following the order of the elements presented in the statements. The changes introduced by the document must be applied commencing from annual years beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The directors do not expect significant effects on the Company financial statements as a result of adopting those changes. 146 Notes to the Statutory Financial Statements 1.

Raw materials and consumables used and services expenses and use of third party Assets With reference to the Company's activity, the comparison between different periods of the value of raw materials and consumables used and services expenses and use of third party assets is not very significant as it depends on the different costs mix of the job orders executed in each period. The percentage impact of the sum of the two captions over the total operating revenues decreased from 88% to 79%. The item services expenses and use of third party assets includes remuneration due to the auditors amounting to Euro 91 thousand (Euro 111 thousand in 2013). 6.

In particular, the company proceeded to purchase new licences for already existing products, such as those for the adjustment of the licence to the Simpana solution for managing Backup (further 50 TB of data) for Euro 88 thousand, Autodesk Navisworks BIM licenses for Euro 82 thousand, and purchase the developments of applications mainly for the Fast Closing project, such as Consolidation Tool SAP BOPC for Euro 138 thousand, the Logistic Platform for Materials for Euro 63 thousand, the upgrade to SAP BW for Euro 25 thousand, and other developments related to SAP ERP and SAP BOPC for Euro 200 thousand. The increase of the period of the item “Other intangible assets” is related to the development of design and implementation process of the Fast Closing within the Group for Euro 1,073 thousand.

Capital management In the area of capital management, the Company aims at adding value for the Shareholders, safeguard the continuity of the business and support the development of the Group. The Company has thus tried to keep a suitable capitalisation level to enable both the achievement of a suitable return on capital for the Shareholders and ensure the accessibility in economic terms of external financing sources, also by achieving a suitable rating. The Company constantly monitors its level of indebtedness in reference to the net equity and especially the net level of indebtedness and the cash generation from operations. To this end, the Company pursues the ongoing improvement of profitability in its business areas. It may also sell part of its own assets to reduce the value of debt, while the Board of Directors may suggest to the Shareholders' Meeting to reduce or increase the share capital or, if legally viable, distribute the reserves. In this framework the Company also proceeds to buying back treasury shares, clearly within the limits authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting, following the same approach aimed at adding value compatible with the aims of achieving a balanced financial standing and improve the rating. The capital is understood to be the value added by the Shareholders (share capital and the share-premium reserve, net of the value of the treasury share), and generated by the Company in terms of the results achieved by the management (legal reserve and retained earnings, included the results for the year), excluding the profit and loss entered directly into the net equity, except for the revaluation reserve, the merger surplus reserve and the IAS/IFRS conversion reserve. 27.

Composed by a positive amount of Euro 13.3 million related to “cash & bank deposits”. The short-term loan in use, for a negative value amounting to Euro 321 million, relates to contracts for lines of credit on a revolving basis, used to cover cash requirements. 163 Two loan contracts with bilateral committed line type have been granted by a major Japanese banking institution for a total amount of Euro 70 million. The contracts expire, respectively, in July and September 2015. The contracts include the obligation to comply with specific financial covenants related to ratio between the total consolidated gross financial debt and consolidated Ebitda. As at 31 December 2014, there was full compliance to the financial covenants required. A third loan contract with committed type line has been granted by a major Italian banking institution for an amount of Euro 50 million. The contract had the expiration in June 2014 but was extended to June 2015. As for mortgages or other assets owned by the company, see Note 36. Net financial position To complete the information reported in these notes, the Company financial position as at 31 December 2014 is reported below.

The actual average rate over overall indebtness stood at 1.650% (2013: 1.460%). 28. Severance indemnity fund In accordance with national regulations, the amount due to each employee accrues on the basis of the service performed and must be paid when the employee leaves the Company. The payment due upon termination of the employment relationship is calculated on the basis of its duration and the taxable salary of each employee. The liability, revalued annually based upon the official cost of living index and legal interest, is not associated with any condition or accrual period, or any funding obligation; therefore, there are no assets at the service of the fund. The regulations were supplemented by Italian Legislative Decree no. 252/2005 and by Italian Law no. 296/2006 (Finance 2007) which, for companies with at least 50 employees, established that the shares accrued since 2007 164 are used, at the option of employees, either for the INPS Treasury Fund or for other forms of supplementary pension schemes, assuming the nature of “defined contribution plan”. The revaluations of the amounts in existence at the dates of option are still, however, accounted to the severance indemnity fund, along with, for companies with less than 50 employees, also the shares accrued and not used for the supplementary pension scheme. In accordance with IAS 19 (2011), that fund is accounted for as “Defined benefits plan”. The table reported above refers exclusively to the severance indemnity accrued before 2007.

Risk management Exposure to credit, interest rate, commodities price and currency risks arises in the normal course of the Company’s business. Historically, derivative financial instruments are used by the Company to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company makes hedging transactions also for the commodities price risk. Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty may fail to meet commitment when it falls due and cause the Company to incur in a financial. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its contract receivables. The Company has implemented a specific Risk management system to analysis each specific tender; a rating is given to each project and customer and specific measures are applied to minimize the company’s risk; the system in place also allows to monitor subsequently the credit risk exposure on an ongoing basis. Other financial assets of the Company with exposure to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments to hedge the Company exposure to foreign currency risk. Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks with high credit ratings. Transactions involving derivative financial instruments are allowed only with counterparties that are of high credit quality. As such, the management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet their commitments. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk on specific customers or on specific geographical areas. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, in the statement of financial position. With reference to trade receivables from third parties, from subsidiaries and associated companies, as well as financial receivables from subsidiaries recorded in the financial statements, the maximum credit risk exposure by geographical area is listed in Appendix I. In the following table the trade receivables from third parties broken down by maturity: 169 In thousands of Euro Gross Receivables Bad debts provision Net Gross Receivables Receivables Bad debts provision Net Receivables 2014 2014 2014 2013 2013 2013 Not past due Past due 0-180 days Past due 181-365 days More than one year 32,057 3,496 3,369 8,107 (450) 0 0 (4,294) 31,607 3,496 3,369 3,813 23,209 7,557 (2,188) 7,807 (450) 0 (112) (4,186) 22,759 7,557 (2,299) 3,621 Total Exchange rate adjustment 47,029 (4,744) 42,285 (212) 42,073 36,386 (4,748) 31,638 3 31,641 At 31 December 2014 the receivables that had not yet reached the expiry date, net of the Provision for bad debts, amounted to 75% of the total (2013: 72%) and the credit due for over one year amounted to 9% (2013: 11%). Interest rate risk The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest-earning assets and interestearning liabilities (amounts receivable from banks and other financial institutions or amounts payable to banks and other financial institutions). Interest rate risk is actively managed at central level to guarantee that interests payments are within acceptable levels and consistent with the Company’s business strategies. The Company does not generally use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. Sensitivity analysis The impact of a variation of 100 basis points in interest rates on the year end date would have determined an increase (decrease) of the net equity and of the results for the period for the amounts shown below. The analysis was done assuming that all the other variables, in particular the exchange rate to foreign currencies, remain stable. On the same basis has been done also the analysis of previous year.

Also note that to correctly assess the liquidity risk, it is necessary to bear in mind the financial assets held by the Company to offset the future cash flows arising from the aforementioned financial liabilities: a) cash and cash equivalents for Euro 13,327 thousand and Euro 2,407 thousand respectively as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013; b) trade receivables from third parties for Euro 42,073 thousand and Euro 31,641 thousand respectively as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013; c) trade receivables from subsidiaries for Euro 78,413 thousand and Euro 71,095 thousand respectively as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013; d) financial receivables from subsidiaries for Euro 200,427 thousand and Euro 124,783 thousand respectively as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013. Foreign currency risk The Company incurs foreign currency risk on contract revenues and purchases and on borrowings and loans denominated in a currency other than Euro. The foreign currencies giving rise this risk are primarily British pounds, United State dollars, Japanese yens. Generally the contracts are hedged for the total amount denominated in foreign currency; see paragraph “e” for a detailed description of the way used by the Company to hedge its job contracts in foreign currency. In respect to monetary assets and liabilities held in foreign currency other that those related to the contracts, the Company’s policy consists in minimizing the net exposure to change in interest rates by specific medium/short-term forward exchange contracts, rolled over at maturity if necessary. Sensitivity analysis A 10% decrease of the Euro against the following currencies as at 31 December 2014 would have led to the following increase (decrease) of the results for the period and the net equity. The analysis has been performed considering that all the other variables, more specifically the interest rates, had remained constant. The analysis was performed on the same basis compared to the previous period. 172 In thousands of Euro Result for the period 31 December 2014 GBP USD HKD SGD AUD THB YEN Other In thousands of Euro Net equity 243 2.848 159 190 (61) 9 21 11 243 2.848 159 190 (61) 9 21 11 3,420 3,420 Result for the period Net equity 31 December 2013 GBP USD HKD SGD AUD YEN Altre 236 3.019 102 5 (124) 2 (13) 236 3.019 102 5 (124) 2 (13) 3,227 3,227 A 10% increase of the Euro against the following currencies as at 31 December 2014 and 2013 would have led to the same but opposite effect, again supposing that all other variables had remained constant. Please note that the analysis did not take into account receivables, payables and future trade flows against which the hedging operations were performed. It is reasonable to believe that the variation of the exchange rates may lead to an opposite financial effect for this item, for a same or higher amount, on the hedged transactions. Commodities price risk The Company has a price risk exposure, including the relevant foreign exchange risk, particularly on aluminium purchases, which are one of the main work order cost items. As far as managing the aluminium price risk is concerned, the Company’s policy is oriented towards minimizing the need to resort to financial markets for hedging, by conducting relations with the suppliers in order to fix the price for specific time frames. However, in the past the rather swinging trend of the aluminium price has encouraged the Company to launch a limited and selective aluminium price hedging policy for a few specific orders, where freezing the price with the supplier, for the whole period of the order, was merely impossible or not immediate in any case. For a detailed description of the Company’s practices of commodity hedging management on its own orders, please refer to paragraph “Accounting principle” included at the beginning of the notes. 34. Fair value measurement There are no financial assets or liabilities whose fair value significantly differs from their carrying amount. 173 IFRS 13 establishes a hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value by giving the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs). In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy at the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Levels used in the hierarchy are as follows: - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: The following table shows the fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 31 December 2014: Euro/thousand Not consolidated subsidiaries Assets at fair value available for sale or held to maturity Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial receivables from subsidiaries Cash and cash equivalents Total Assets Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Amounts payables to banks and other financial creditors (current) Amounts payables to banks and other financial creditors (non current) Financial payables to subsidiaries Total Liabilities Notes Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total - - - - (24) (22) (25) - 4,635 200,427 13,327 218,389 4,635 200,427 13,327 218,389 (32) (27) - 12,339 341,557 12,339 341,557 (27) - 27,510 27,510 - 90,101 471,507 90,101 471,507 (31) In 2014, there were no transfers between Levels in the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on recurring basis: The carrying amount of Current receivables and Other current assets and of Trade payables and Other current liabilities approximates their fair value and are categorized in Level 2. The main methods and assumptions used to estimate the “fair value” of the assets and liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position according to this principle or for which its disclosure is requested by the accounting principles in the notes, are as follows: Securities The Company presently does not hold significant amounts of securities held for trading or available for sale of held until their maturity. Cash and cash equivalents The fair value of Cash and cash equivalents usually approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these 174 instruments, which consist primarily of bank current accounts and time deposits. The fair value of Cash equivalents is determined with discounted expected cash flow techniques, using observable market yields. Derivatives contracts They are evaluated using listed market prices. Amounts payables to banks and other financial institutions The fair value is calculated based on discounting of future cash flows with reference to principal and interest amounts. Finance leases As described in note 27, the Group does not hold significant liabilities for financial leases. Trade receivables and payables and other receivables and payables Receivables and payables with expiring date less than one year, their carrying amount is considered to approximate their fair value. All the other receivables and payables with expiring date greater than one year are discounted to determine their fair value, except for those related to contracts monies retention; the Company considers that retentions do not represent in any way a financing transaction with the customer due to the fact that the payments terms are beyond one year, as retentions, in the different geographical areas in which the Company operates, are within the normal applied trade conditions; consequently there is no necessity to apply any discounting. As at 31 December 2014 the Company considers that there not retentions out of normal market conditions. 35. Commitments As the balance sheet date, the Company has the followings commitments: Operating leases In thousands of Euro 31 December 2014 31 December 2013 1,409 1,567 0 2,976 1,626 1,483 0 3,109 Payable: less than 1 year within 1 to 5 years after 5 years The Company leases a number of production sites, offices, warehouse and factory facilities under operating leases. The leases have variable length, some of them with an option to renew the lease after the expiry date. Usually lease payments are periodically increased to reflect market rental conditions.

As at 31 December 2014 the assessment of the fair value of currency hedging brought to the entry of profits for Euro 4,635 thousand (2013: Euro 3,113 thousand) and a losses for Euro 12,339 thousand (2013: Euro 1,979 thousand) booked respectively under the items forward assets (note 24) and forward liabilities (note 32). Note that the stated amounts of Euro 4,562 thousand (2013: Euro 1,916 thousand) and Euro 9,680 thousand (2013: Euro 1,761 thousand) refer, respectively, to the valuation of financial currency hedging transactions, namely those covering foreign currency assets and liabilities of financial nature.
