REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Sabaf Group (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, the consolidated income statement. the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity, the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and the related explanatory notes.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the parent company Sabaf S.p.A. (the "Company") in accordance with the ethical requirements applicable under Italian law to the audit of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment test on goodwill

Description of key audit matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Sabaf Group as at December 31, 2017 report goodwill of Euro 6,215 thousand (3.4% of consolidated assets). Based on the Group's strategic and organisational decisions, the goodwill has been allocated to the "Hinges" cash generating unit (hereinafter, also "CGU") in the amount of Euro 4,445 thousand and to the "Professional Burners" CGU in the amount of Euro 1,770 thousand. Impairment tests have been performed by comparing the recoverable amount of the CGU with carrying amount, which takes account of both the goodwill and the other tangible and intangible assets allocated to the CGU. The impairment test was set up by Management which considers recoverable amount as value in use, determining the value of the assets based on their ability to generate future cash flows.

The impairment process carried out by the Management is complex since it includes several assumptions regarding the forecasted future cash flows from CGUs, the definition of an appropriate discount rate (WACC) and of a long-term growth rate (g-rate). In order to determine the recoverable amounts, the Group took into account cash flows as reported in the 2018-2022 forward plan, drafted at the beginning of 2018.

The assumptions on forecast cash flows are affected by future expectations on exogenous variables, among which the most relevant are the market evolution, in term of volumes and values and the discount rates.

Considering the relevant value of assets accounted for within the financial statements, and the subjectivity of estimates used to determine future cash flows, as well as the variables described above, we considered the impairment test to be a key audit matter for Sabaf Group consolidated financial statements.

The paragraphs "Use of estimates" and in particular the section "Goodwill" of the paragraph "Intangible assets", within the explanatory notes report information on the impairment test, including the sensitivity analysis, which shows the effects of variations of the key variables used in implementing the impairment test.

Audit procedures

We first examined how the Management determined the value in use of the CGUs, taking into account procedures and assumptions on which the impairment test is based.

In particular, we carried out the following procedures, with assistance of experts of our network:

• observation and understanding of relevant controls carried out by the Group on the implementation of the impairment test;
• Assessment of the reasonableness of main assumptions used to forecast cash flows, also through analysis of sector-based data (for example national demand, estimates on GDP growth) and collection of other relevant information for us obtained by the Management;
• Analysis of actual values, compared with the original plans, in order to understand the nature of variations and the reliability of the budgeting process;
• Assessment of the reasonableness of the discount rate (WACC) and the growth rate (g-rate);
• Assessment of mathematical accuracy of the model used to determine the value in use of CGUs;

Deloitte

• Verification of the correct determination of the carrying amount of the assets allocated to the CGU "Hinges" and "Professional burners" and comparison with the recoverable amount emerging from the impairment test;
• Assessment of the sensitivity analysis implemented by Management;
• Assessment of compliance with applicable accounting standards over the procedures implemented by Management for the impairment test:
• Assessment of compliance with IAS 36 over the information disclosed by the Group with reference to the impairment test.

Responsibilities of the Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05, and, within the terms established by law, for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the conditions for the liquidation of the parent company Sabaf S.p.A. or the termination of the business or have no realistic alternatives to such choices.

The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

$\bullet$ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Deloitte

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and. based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
