LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

There is optimism for the future of the global economy. In this decade, until 2020, it will grow by 4.1%, which is much more than the previous decade when growth amounted to 3.4%. The numbers show an outlook that is better than what we think or perceive. According to widely accepted forecasts, the United States will grow at a robust 2.5%, the Eurozone 1.5%, Japan 1% and China 7.5%. In this economic outlook the expectations of entrepreneurs are improving with respect to market demand and the evolution of the job market. Investments are making a comeback.

Italy is no longer excluded from the path to recovery. Following a change in certain macroeconomic variables last January, the International Monetary Fund raised Italian growth forecasts for 2015. Even the Bank of Italy, and more so Confindustria, confirmed IMF estimates for the year in progress, providing better assumptions.

Also the ICT market in Italy in 2014 gave signs that the decline of recent years (about 4.5% per year) should level off at -1.4%. The initial forecasts (source: Assinform) confirm the inversion trend: +1.1% for 2015, driving a renewed political desire, at least in stated intent, to proceed with digitalisation of the country.

In this context, in 2014, Exprivia grew at a double-digit rate and maintained its profitability, which rose in absolute value. A contribution to this considerable growth for nine months (by about euro 12 million) was given by the acquisition of the company Exprivia Telco&Media (formerly Devoteam AuSystem Italia), to which was added growth in the group by about euro 4 million.

Concerning the Italian market, the group benefitted from the effects of the company reorganisation project launched in 2013, which resulted in a rise in profitability in absolute value (by about euro 2.3 million). On the other hand, foreign markets, which remains a priority to acquire market share, slowed down and profits decreased, unlike last year. In any case, this was a characteristic of the markets where the company operates and in the absence of a historical series, high volatility cannot be excluded.

In 2014, consolidated revenues amounted to euro 147.2 million, an increase of 12.3% compared to 2013 (euro 131.1 million). Consolidated net revenues amounted to euro 141.6 million, an increase of 11.9% compared to the 126.6 million of 2013. Consolidated EBITDA amounted to euro 14.5 million (9.8% of revenues), a 10.5% increase compared to last year (13.1 million in 2013). Profit amounted to euro 3 million, a 6.3% rise over the 2.9 million of 2013. The results of financial management are to be appreciated. They brought the Net Financial Position of the Group to euro -29.7 million as at 31 December 2014, a clear improvement over the -36.1 million of 31 December 2013. Although the Group maintained a remarkable level of investments (euro 3.9 million), during the year it generated liquidity for 6.4 million as a result of positive cash flows resulting from income management and net working capital management, which went from 28% in 2012 to 23% in 2013 and to 17% in 2014.

Internally, the company reorganisation project, announced in April 2013, continued to be executed by the Group. On 27 May, the Exprivia healthcare division was transferred to the subsidiary Exprivia Healthcare IT. On 20 June, the Exprivia banking division was transferred to the subsidiary Sis.Pa., which changed its name to Exprivia Digital Financial Solutions.

The business hubs created in this way are equipped with all the governance tools and assets needed to reach their core markets directly, and they have the flexibility needed for internal processes and cash flow management. The reduction in the number of companies made administrative and governance processes more efficient, with a significant reduction in the operating costs of Group companies in 2014.

The table below shows the performance of revenues by business segment:

Exprivia Group (value in K €) 31.12.2014 31.12.2013 Variations Variations %
Banks and Financial Istitutions 27,401 27,348 53 0%
Industry and Aerospace 14,486 16,544 -2,057 -12%
Energy 14,760 12,875 1,885 15%
Telcom and Media 11,918 326 11,592 3556%
Health and Healthcare 24,352 22,744 1,608 7%
Utilities 28,183 26,218 1,965 7%
Public Administration 6,409 5,163 1,247 24%
International Business 12,776 14,166 -1,390 -10%
Other 1,363 1,219 145 12%
Total 141,649 126,601 15,048 11.89%

The holding company showed good performance in the Energy (+15%), Utilities (+7%), and Public Administration (+24%) segments. In terms of profits, they more than doubled in the utilities market (+2 million), while the performance in the banking market remained constant with high levels of profitability. Revenues from the sale of group healthcare and finance proprietary licences doubled, which is a good sign that our products compete well in new foreign markets.

There was a major effort to penetrate international markets. In Spain the offer portfolio for ERP applications and SAP services was expanded to business intelligence solutions for the healthcare segment and web services. In Mexico, sales and delivery actions continued with major private and public companies operating in the infrastructure construction segment in Latin America. In Brazil, business grew in the IT Security sector and in the development of SAP ERP projects. Operations started up in the United States with the incorporation of the company Prosap Consulting in New York, USA. In China, Exprivia Asia Ltda was incorporated in Hong Kong, which in turn incorporated Exprivia IT Solutions (Shanghai) Co. Ltd as sole shareholder. The company is specialised in providing professional services in IT infrastructure and SAP.

In conclusion, despite an economic cycle that is still unfavourable, our Group grew and maintained its operations and customer-base in Italy and abroad while improving all its economic-financial indicators.

For this reason I requested that Group management should support me in this difficult, yet exciting period of development following the new business plan until 2020, according to which there will be three two-year periods of incremental growth, so as to take our company to a leading position amongst the major IT groups in Italy.

The Chairman

Domenico Favuzzi

Energy

IŶ the EŶeƌgLJ iŶdustƌLJ, Edžpƌiǀia's edžpeƌieŶĐe deƌiǀes fƌoŵ ϭϬ LJeaƌs of paƌtŶeƌship ǁith the ŵaiŶ multinationals in the sector, allowing it to propose innovative solutions and services that make companies competitive by optimising the sector-specific processes.

Exprivia has consolidated its position over the years through its ability to combine its knowledge of the best practices in the IT sector with specific skills related to processes for the extraction, transportation, storage, refining and distribution of oil and natural gas.

The extensive knowledge in the processes of the companies operating in the oil and natural gas markets, together with the knowledge of innovative technological platforms, enable the group to be a partner of reference for core process projects (Work & Asset Management, Engineering & Automation ) as well as non-core projects (AFC, HR, dematerialisation and storage).

Utilities

Utilities companies are going through a complex yet historic period characterised by profound changes related to the liberalisation process and company mergers, which subject them to increasingly stiff competition.

The Public Utility Services sector, which also includes energy, postal, environmental, water and transport services, has undergone significant transformations in the last ten years, which are related to the conversion into a joint stock company, the definition of service contracts to fulfil the public service obligations, the introduction of service charters for consumer protection, the regulation by independent authorities or the ministers in charge, the laying of the legislative and regulatory basis to start competition or the regulation of the regime for the concession of natural monopolies.

In this context, certain factors become particularly important such as those related to the separation of infrastructure management from services, management efficiency and profit control, service level measurement, etc.

Exprivia supports its customers with solutions for the development and management of transversal and core processes. In particular, it proposes solutions that aim to ensure integrated management of administrative processes, operational process efficiency, quality of services to customers, process performance and service levels.

Health and Healthcare

Patient treatment has always been the focus of all the services provided by the healthcare system.

Starting from our focus on the patients and the continuous improvement of the healthcare services destined for them, Exprivia has devised its offer for the healthcare market with innovative solutions for governance and control at regional level, local care provided by local healthcare providers (ASL) and hospital care.

500 healthcare institutions and hospitals, for a total 20 million patients receiving treatment: this is the result of the daily commitment ensured by a team of 350 professionals and over thirty years of experience in the healthcare industry.

Exprivia developed e4cure for the healthcare market, a suite of solutions that makes it possible to link under a single circuit all regional healthcare providers, from healthcare institutions to family physicians, to certified private facilities, also offering online services. e4cure meets all the needs of the healthcare market: such as governance and control at a regional level (Regions, Regional Agencies), local care

provided by local healthcare providers (ASL) and hospital treatment (hospitals, clinics, public and private healthcare facilities).

Industry & Aerospace

The value of IT comes out only if the tool and solutions are perfectly integrated to meet the specific needs of each industry: size, production chain and distribution models. Exprivia supports large and small sized companies with flexible and modular technologies designed for each individual company requirement and for each of its production and organisational process.

The partnership with SAP set up over ten years ago makes Exprivia an important partner in Italy and on an international scale, also due to the 500 professionals certified and specialised in ERP and logistics.

The widespread presence in Italy means that Exprivia can assist companies all over the country, also thanks to the innovative models for the provisions of services in nearshoring mode.

LARGE ENTERPRISES

Thanks to its consolidated expertise in the SAP sector, Exprivia is able to create integration projects through ERP, CRM, SCM, Business Intelligence and Analytics application and middleware platforms.

As part of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solutions are developed based on Simatic IT, Siemens Industry Software and with Service Oriented architectures.

In the retail and wholesale segment Exprivia provides innovative solutions for any type of process (from back office to points of sale) for any type of reporting and analysis requirement and for any type of activity, whether BtB or BtC.

The history of Exprivia is full of Best Practices that have enabled it to create implementation models for the specific requirements of any market: Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer Products, Chemical & Pharma, Engineering and Construction, Food, Discrete and Process Manufacturing.

SMES

Also small companies can enjoy all the benefits of IT that large enterprises have with ad hoc solutions and costs for smaller companies. With this spirit Exprivia developed tools designed for SMEs with advanced features that cover all the main core processes of the company such as finance, sales and logistics. IT management, service desk, server and desktop virtualisation services are also available to meet infrastructure needs.

In the application management field, the large number of factories spread out all over Italy and abroad enables Exprivia to propose structured offers while guaranteeing high service levels wherever needed.

Banks, Finance and Insurance

The customers of banks and financial institutions are increasingly more demanding and require non-stop availability wherever needed and with any device. The experience of Exprivia comes from over 25 years of partnerships with leading credit groups and institutions in Italy and abroad.

With more than 100 customers, Exprivia has searched and developed innovative technological solutions to control strategic processes, particularly in the credit, risk control and financial market field.

FINANCE

The financial market is an ever changing sector and requires companies to constantly revise their business models. Edžpƌiǀia's edžpeƌieŶĐe iŶ the Capital Markets means that it can provide each of its customers with

innovative solutions that are customised to keep up with the continuously evolving market. Thanks to the skills gained from the Murex technological platform and the experience gathered together with major financial organisations, Exprivia is able to propose specific services and solutions for all the processes that are characteristic of the financial market.

CREDIT & RISK MANAGEMENT

For 25 years Exprivia has been present in banking, leasing and factoring institutions of all sizes spread across Europe. The proprietary solutions support the various phases of the credit life cycle from an operational and decision-making standpoint: from preliminary procedures to periodic monitoring and management of disputes.

Exprivia works side-by-side with its customers to give support in operational management of IT systems and provided on-site or through nearshoring. As regards operating management, Exprivia proposes comprehensive IT infrastructure optimisation services ranging from project consultancy to architectural designs and their implementation.

IT SECURITY

Compliance, reputation and operational risk: these are the essential problems that banks and all companies with systems accessed by a large number of users are trying to solve with "technological security tools". The value of security for banks is led driven by several drivers that converge into a single need: make infrastructure, access and processes secure.

In the IT sector Exprivia supports its customers with its extensive security-related technological expertise combined with years of experience regarding the characteristic issues of the banking market.

MULTICHANNEL

As support for marketing, sales and customer service Exprivia has devised web 2.0 based services, solutions to manage unstructured information and mobile payment products.

Public Administration

The Public Administration market is represented by IT solutions that streamline the processes of organisations to increase the quality and speed of services provided to citizens and businesses. The recent modernisation policy of the Public Administration has generated a great demand for operating tools and models able to ensure significant improvement in services and substantial rationalisation of public spending.

Reconciling optimisation of spending with service quality is a goal the Public Administration can pursue only by using more innovative technologies that make it possible to raise efficiency in providing those services.

In this context Exprivia has developed increasingly effective solutions to computerise processes, ensure flexible and efficient management and at the same time to improve and intensify communications between administrations, citizens and businesses.

The decade-long presence in central and local Public Administration ensures customers of the Group receive the benefit of the process skill and know-how in all aspects of Public Administration.

The reforms in Public Administration spurred the adoption of innovative IT technologies to quickly achieve tangible results in terms of spending optimisation and process engineering. To achieve these objectives the

Group supports national and regional organisations on a daily basis, proposing the most suitable solutions to obtain efficient processes and reduce their expenditure.

For each area concerned by changes Exprivia offers solutions and services created with innovative technologies, in complete compliance with the strategic guidelines defined by the competent institutional bodies.

BANKS, FINANCIAL AND INSURANCE COMPANIES

The Business Unit Banks, Finance and Insurance ended 2014 with revenues amounting to euro 27.4 million, in line with 2013. This result was obtained in a context where IT spending decreased in 2014, mainly on developing core process solutions and on compliance, especially in the area of Cloud Computing. In this context the Business Unit managed to successfully propose a vertical offering, confirming its position as a point of reference. It also presented itself as an innovative player in Customer Experience management and Compliance. The year 2014 was significant for the Business Unit also for the incorporation of Exprivia Digital Financial Solutions, through which a rationalisation process was undertaken for the entire organisation and offering.

INDUSTRY AND AEROSPACE

The Business Unit recorded a decrease of about 12% (euro 14.5 million compared to euro 16.5 million in 2013). There were contrasting trends in the market, a general reduction in ICT spending for large industrial groups, but also encouraging points for manufacturing companies operating in international markets, espeĐiallLJ ͞Made iŶ ItalLJ͟, poǁeƌ tools, ludžuƌLJ, desigŶ, foodstuffs, etĐ. The most significant projects comprise experiences in established environments such as ERP, HCM, Extended SAP ERP, in companies with an international presence needing foreign rollout. The experience acquired in the area of mobility and analytics, both on the SAPHana platform and on open-source architecture (visual analytics, Hadoop, etc.), is of great importance to the Group. They have positioned us as one of the leaders on the Italian market.

ENERGY

The Energy Business Unit recorded revenues amounting to euro 14.8 million compared to euro 12.9 million in 2013 (a 15% rise). In the Energy market Exprivia has consolidated its position over the years through its ability to combine its knowledge of the best practices in the IT sector with specific skills related to processes for the extraction, transportation, storage, refining and distribution of oil and natural gas. The international nature of the Exprivia Group is seen also in the energy sector, a market where Exprivia provides its customers with support in projects for international markets.

TELCO & MEDIA

The Telco & Media Business Unit ended 2014 with revenues amounting to euro 11.9 million compared to euro 326 thousand in 2013. This result is mainly due to the contribution (for only 9 months) of the company Exprivia Telco&Media (formerly Devoteam AuSystem Italia). The telecommunications sector is going through a period of transformation, especially in Europe. It is characterised by the continuing research for operational efficiency in traditional services and the launch of value-added services to acquire new market share. Key clients are the most important telecommunications operators and telco technology vendors in Italy and abroad. The main service areas for customers in 2014 were in the fields of network transformation, operations support systems, portals, M2M, IVR, and mobile applications.

HEALTHCARE

The Healthcare Business Unit recorded revenues amounting to euro 24.4 million, a 7% rise compared to 2013. This result was made possible, in such an unfavourable market context, by a series of important factors: the successful conclusion of certain agreements in the private healthcare market, the good performance of upselling with existing clients including the sale of new modules in the e4cure suite and the progress of projects in the Italian regions of Marche, Calabria and Campania after being awarded tender contracts. The year 2014 was significant for the Business Unit also for the incorporation of Exprivia Healthcare IT, through which a rationalisation process was undertaken for the entire organisation and offering.

UTILITIES

In 2004 the Utilities Business Unit recorded revenues amounting to euro 28.2 million, a 7% rise compared to 2013. The revenues generated derive from IT services (67%) and BPO services (33%), which recorded a 20.7% increase compared to 2013. The Business Unit confirms the positive trend in the segment, which enabled growth of 2% higher than budget forecasts. The positive results were made possible by a strategy to consolidate and strengthen operations and projects performed for key clients as well as technological partnerships.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The Public Administration Business Line recorded revenues of euro 6.4 million in 2014, an increase of 24% compared to the previous year. This considerable improvement is the result of contracts with certain customers that started up in Central Public Administration and acquired in 2013 and in the first half of 2014. In terms of turnover, it is also accompanied by an improvement in profitability, already recorded in previous periods, mainly due to the fact that certain projects begun in previous years moved on to the operational phase. In the field of Local Public Administration, a market where ICT investments continue to fall, Exprivia was able to increase its revenues compared to the previous year despite its lower backlog. It acquired new contracts that will produce effects in 2015, and development of a set of innovative products on open-source platforms was also completed.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

International development is concentrated in consolidating the company's presence in the Spanish market, developing markets in Latin America and Brazil and penetrating markets in China and the United States.

In Spain, where the Exprivia Group is present through two subsidiaries, Profesionales de Sistemas Aplicaciones y Productos S.L. (ProSap) and Exprivia S.L., the offer portfolio based on ERP applications and SAP services, with Business Intelligence solutions for the Healthcare sector, and web services (marketing and online sales). The Spanish IT market entered a period of stagnation which made profits fall in the sector. Sales in the Latin American countries, through local operators, of professional solutions and services in the Imaging and Business Intelligence for Healthcare area made an important contribution to Exprivia SL's results.

In Mexico, where the Exprivia Group operates directly with Prosap Mexico, sales and delivery actions continued with major private and public companies operating in the infrastructure construction sector in Latin America. Prosap Mexico is a SAP Gold Partner.

Operations and development expanded in 2014 for the companies Prosap Guatemala, which operates also in other Central American countries, and Prosap Consulting started up operations in the USA.

In Brazil, Exprivia do Brasil Serviços de Informatica Ltda continued its business growth in the IT Security sector and in the development of ERP SAP projects.

In China, Exprivia Asia Ltda was incorporated in Hong Kong in May 2014, which in turn incorporated Exprivia IT Solutions (Shanghai) Co. Ltd as sole shareholder. The company is specialised in providing professional services in IT infrastructure and SAP.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

INTERNAL RISK

RISK RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT OF KEY STAFF MEMBERS

The success of the Exprivia Group mainly depends on the competence and skills of its workers. In addition to the executive directors of the Group and subsidiaries, the Exprivia Group also has senior managers with many years of experience in the sector who play a decisive role in managing the operations.

Already in 2012 the company set up institutional processes to map and develop certified skills, thereby reducing the risk that the skills of certain key figures might become obsolete and to confirm the Group's ability to attract leading figures with a proven record for innovation.

The programme for building loyalty and keeping the most skilled and deserving workers through performance management schemes, which include systems for rewarding key resources in the organisation.

RISK RELATED TO DEPENDENCE ON CUSTOMERS

The Exprivia group provides services to companies operating in different markets (Healthcare, Public Administration, Banking and Finance, Telecom & Media, Industry, Aerospace and Media and Utilities).

The revenue of the Group is well distributed over an array of customers but, nevertheless, the withdrawal of certain leading customers from the portfolio could weigh on the economic, capital and financial situation of the Exprivia Group.

RISK RELATED TO CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS

The Exprivia group develops high value solutions with a high technological content and related underlying contracts may provide for the application of penalties for compliance with stipulated terms and quality standards. The application of these penalties could have negative effects on the economic and financial results of the Exprivia Group.

The Group has, therefore, stipulated insurance policies with leading insurance companies, considered adequate to safeguard itself from the risks arising from professional liability (the policy covering "all IT risks"). Should this cover be insufficient and Exprivia group required to pay for damages amounting to higher than the limit stipulated, the economic, capital and financial situation of the Exprivia group could suffer significant negative effects, in line, moreover, with risk parameters for the sector.

RISK RELATED TO INTERNATIONALISATION

In its internationalisation strategy the group could be exposed to typical risks deriving from the performance of business at an international level, which include changes in politics, macro-economic outlook, taxation and/or regulations, as well as currency variations. Nevertheless, the company was considerably active in foreign markets, where the country risk is considered under control and minor.

EXTERNAL RISK

RISK ARISING FROM THE GENERAL CONDITIONS OF THE ECONOMY

The Information Technology market is naturally linked to trends in the economy.

An unfavourable economic phase, particularly at a domestic level, could slow demand, which would result in a capital, economic and financial impact. The Group has proven its ability to react, raising and maintaining the necessary profitability even in the current stagnation in the global economy. The risks in this regard are related to the duration of this cycle and the number of variables connected to the national and international political-economic system.

RISK RELATED TO IT SERVICES

The ICT consulting services sector in which the Exprivia group operates features fast and profound technological changes and constant evolution of the composition of professionals and skills to gather in the creation of services, together with a need for constant development and updating of new products and services.

The Exprivia group has always been able to anticipate these changes, and be ready for the needs of the market, also because of conspicuous investment in research and development.

RISK RELATED TO COMPETITION

The Exprivia Group competes in markets where the companies are - usually - rather large, which means remaining competitive depends on economy of scale and adequate pricing policies. The Exprivia Group mitigates this risk with continuing research and development, encouraged by the near-shoring centre of Molfetta, where it is possible to have access to human resources that are always in line with trends in the sector, especially considering the vicinity of the university and the extensive collaboration with the latter.

RISK RELATED TO CHANGES IN LEGISLATION

The work conducted by Exprivia Group is not subject to any specific legislation in the sector.

FINANCIAL RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

Over the years Exprivia group has obtained various loans including several medium-long term at a fixed rate and others at a facilitated rate, the latter relating to funded research and development projects. Concerning variable rate loans, where considered necessary the Group stipulates interest rate swap agreements or cap agreements to hedge the risk of fluctuating interest rates.

CREDIT RISK

Exprivia group does not have significant concentrations of credit risk except for work carried out in the Public Administration sector, where delays are recorded mainly due to the payment policies adopted by public bodies. They often do not respect the conditions set forth in contracts but, nevertheless, they do not lead to the risk of bad debts.

The group also manages this risk by selecting counterparts considered to be solvent by the market and with high credit standing.

All amounts receivable are periodically assessed for each individual customer, and they are written down when they are considered impaired.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent management of liquidity risk is pursued by planning cash flows, financing needs and the liquidity of the Exprivia group to ensure effective management of financial resources by managing any surplus liquidity, and by opening credit lines where necessary, including short-term ones.

EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Since the majority of operations conducted by the Exprivia group are in the Euro area there is limited exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions that are not in the usual currency (Euro). Opening up to markets characterised by major fluctuations (e.g., Brazil) might constitute a risk to be monitored, depending, however, on the volumes in place, which for the moment are not significant.

STOCK PERFORMANCE

The graph below shows the performance of Exprivia stock on the FTSE Italia Star index in 2014 (closing at 100 at 1 January 2014).

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

With the optimism that the global economy is projected to grow by 4.1% from 2011 to 2020, expectations are higher for what concerns markets and the job market. Investments are making a comeback.

In this macro-economic context the ICT market in Italy in 2014 showed a decline in recent years (about 4.5% per year) and levelled off at -1.4%. The initial forecasts (source: Assinform) confirm the inversion trend: -1.1% for 2015, driving a renewed political desire, at least in stated intent, to proceed with digitalisation of the country.

Exprivia grew at a double-digit rate and maintains its profitability, which rose in absolute value. It is expanding its international presence into the USA and China with two companies that generated revenues already in 2014.

Considering these signs, the Group expects further growth and higher profits, also following the results achieved in the company reorganisation project. The figures will show in the 2015-2020 business plan, which will be divided into three two-year periods characterised by gradual growth approaches.

INVESTMENTS

REAL ESTATE

All the real estate of the Group is in the name of the Holding Company Exprivia SpA.

The property in Viale PIO XI 40 in Molfetta (BA) consists of two rooms totalling about 120 m2.

The Company's current head offices, located in Molfetta (BA), Via Adriano Olivetti 11, covers a surface area of about 8000 sq. m on which there is a complex of buildings (made up of four blocks, three of which are multi-story). All of these are office space and warehouses for a net total of approximately 5000 sq. m of office space.

In 2014, an investment project, which began in 2013, was concluded. Its aim was to bolster and improve the logistics of the head offices of the Holding Company Exprivia thereby making the latter more functional and agreeable for clients.

Training programmes on the most modern IT technologies for large groups of people are organised and carried out at the Molfetta office. The development of technical staff, both internal staff and customers, is based on continuing professional training and education.

The areas dedicated to IT instrumentation, equipped with advanced security systems, are perfectly able to host not only the current equipment necessary for the management and development of the Group's infrastructure and R&D Laboratory, but also additional IT systems used to provide the market with complete solutions for development projects and outsourcing with the most sophisticated security systems and non-stop operations.

In April 2012 Exprivia SpA transferred its Milan branch from Via Esterle 9 to Via dei Valtorta 43, thus occupying a rented independent three-storey building with a total of 2500 sq. m of floor space available for office use.

The Company started expanding its Molfetta production unit during the first half of 2012, a project provided for in the programme agreement signed with the Regione Puglia on 5 December 2011 for a total value of euro 10.4 million. The first stage of the investment in material assets, totalling euro 5.6 million, is

the erection of a new four-storey office building with a total of 2,500 sq. m of floor space, which was completed in February 2014.

The second phase was the renovation of offices in Via Olivetti (Molfetta, Italy) and bolstering its electric infrastructure and network, which was completed on 30 June 2014.

In November 2014, Exprivia SpA held a public institutional event to present the restyling of the offices in Via Olivetti and the new building.

In December 2014 Exprivia SpA transferred its Rome office from Via C. Colombo, 456 to Viale del Tintoretto, 432. It occupies an entire floor with a total surface are of 2,036 sq. m, thus making it possible to integrate all the personnel of the Exprivia subsidiaries Exprivia Telco & Media and Exprivia Enterprise Consulting Srl.

The main goal of the new offices, built on a project commissioned by Exprivia SpA, was to create a representative office as well as an operational office. The project enabled a significant expansion of office space, in addition to bolstering ICT infrastructure.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

In accordance with the Business Plan, and in coordination with company business units, the goals of the research programmes commenced in 2014 became part of Exprivia's framework research programme, ͞Città Digitale 2.0͟. Continuing from last year, the plan is based on three priorities for Research & Development: 1) Healthcare 2.0; 2) Mobile Ticketing & Intelligent Transportation System (ITS); 3) IT Factory - Cloud - Big Data.

All Research & Development projects are sustained by co-financing from the participation in national tenders for research promoted by the competent ministries and regional administrations.

Healthcare 2.0.

In 2014 Exprivia continued its projects Lab 8 Potenziamento A and Lab 8 Potenziamento B, [Lab 8 Boost A/B] in the field of Healthcare. Both are dedicated to developing integrated bioinformatics tools to design monitoring and telemedicine systems for disorders with a specific genetic basis. As a result, hospital files will be extended to enable insertion of genetic information to develop personal medical records. The Lab8 projects (under tender contract PON02- Programma Operativo Nazionale [National Operational Programme] – ͞NotiĐe foƌ the deǀelopŵeŶt aŶd eŶhaŶĐeŵeŶt of hiteĐh districts and public-private laboratories and the creation of new districts and/or new public-pƌiǀate ĐoŵďiŶatioŶs͟Ϳ ǁeƌe aĐƋuiƌed thƌough Edžpƌiǀia's ŵeŵďeƌship iŶ the BiogeŶe CoŶsoƌtiuŵ, the LabGTP project leader, Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics Laboratory financed by MIUR. These projects are an extension approved by the ministry itself.

Two mobile Apps were also released in February 2014 for home assistance and remote monitoring of the lifestyles of patients with chronic health problems such as diabetes and obesity. The two systems were awarded the tender and created by Exprivia as part of the PCP – Pre Commercial Procurement tender issued in 2012 by the Puglia Region.

In October 2014, a Memorandum of Obligation was signed with MUIR to execute the ActiveAgeing@Home pƌojeĐt fuŶded as paƌt of Clusteƌ ͞TeĐhŶologies foƌ LiǀiŶg EŶǀiƌoŶŵeŶts͟, ǁhiĐh Edžpƌiǀia paƌtiĐipated iŶ through the MIUR tender for the definition of National Cluster Technologies (D. D. 257/Ric of 30 May 2012). The project includes the issue of monitoring health and remote assistance for needy persons, with special attention to people with neurological disabilities. Exprivia provides its specialist skills in this context and presents itself to develop innovative features for particular characteristics of the setting and people involved.

Mobile Ticketing / Intelligent Transportation System

Regarding Logistics, the LOGIN project (Ministry for Economic Development - 2015 National Industry Tender - Made in Italy), which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015, is currently being implemented. It is dedicated to the development of a cooperative logistics platform which makes it

possible to optimise the logistics processes of the agribusiness chain and the chain of haulage contractors specialised in the sector.

Still in this application context, the ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) Italy 2020 project was also launched. It was acquired as part of the tender for National Technological Clusters, mentioned above, through the paƌtiĐipatioŶ iŶ the NatioŶal TeĐhŶologiĐal Clusteƌ ͞MeaŶs aŶd sLJsteŵs foƌ ŵoďilitLJ oŶ laŶd aŶd sea͟. The object of the innovation is to define technological standards and communications protocols to develop national intermodal logistics.

Further research in the ITS segment was conducted within the project known as Puglia Digitale 2.0, outlined below.

IT Factory - Cloud - Big Data

In June 2014 the SDI - Service Delivery Improvement project was completed. It was co-financed by the Regione Puglia through the measure under Title VI of Regulation 26/06/2008 on the Regional Programme Agreement. "DI ǁas desigŶed to suppoƌt the ĐoŵpaŶLJ's seƌǀiĐe ŵodel aŶd softǁaƌe faĐtoƌLJ to oďtaiŶ I"O 27001 and ISO 20000 certification in order to provide IT services and CMMI-DEV for software development.

The project produced solutions dedicated to improving the quality of IT services provided by Exprivia to its customers by adopting and experimenting new delivery paradigms such as Software as a Service (SaaS) and Cloud Computing.

The Puglia Digitale 2.0 project was in the same technological context and was also co-financed through the measure under Title VI of Regulation 26/06/2008 on the Puglia Regional Programme Agreement. It was started up in February 2013 in cooperation with 6 SMEs and is defined as a strategic project for the Puglia IT District. For Exprivia its purpose is to develop an original platform to provide software services as Software as a Service (SaaS). The innovative platform will make it possible to activate a multi-enterprise catalogue of modular software components through SaaS. For the project Exprivia is taking part in the creation of tools for the shared SaaS catalogue, advanced service access tools, and integration of vertical services currently offered in the PAL and Healthcare domain. The project includes the development of solutions for infomobility and mobile ticketing in order to modernise services provided to users by public transport operators in Puglia.

Concerning the field of research on Big Data, work is continuing on two PON02 projects, to be executed in cooperation with other members of the DHITECH - High Tech District, which Exprivia is a part of. The projects are:

VINCENTE, a project with the goal of setting up a web-oriented methodological and technological platform aimed at proactively supporting and developing new forms of business for the region of Puglia;

Puglia@service, a project with the goal to execute strategic, organisational and technological intervention in the Future Internet (www.future-internet.eu) to innovate services for the sustainable knowledge society and enable the transition of Puglia towards an intelligent territory model, i.e., using an adequate technological and digital infrastructure to maximise its innovative capacity and management of its knowledge assets in order to favour integration and raise competitiveness.

Both projects will end in 2015.

Worth mentioning is how, after a prolonged wait due to administrative and bureaucratic issues, which caused a series of delays in ministerial assessments and decisions, also the PON02 project started up, known as EFFEDIL - Innovative Solutions for Energy Efficiency in Construction, which Exprivia is a part of as a member of the National Technological District on Energy (Di.T.N.E.) based in Brindisi. The goal of the project is to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to improve energy efficiency in construction in temperate climates. The work of Exprivia focuses on developing algorithms for the management and optimisation of energy use in buildings.

Lastly, following approval by the Supervisory Body (Invitalia), the entire complex process was completed for the techno-administrative control of the reports and results of the research project Slimport (Slimsafe subproject), under the 2015 Industry Tender by the Ministry for Economic Development, which was

completed in April 2012. The company is expecting payment of the amounts provided for in the tender, the value of which is in line with estimates made in the budgets from previous years.

MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

The Exprivia Group invests with particular attention in developing skills and competence in a context strongly oriented towards innovation. The reorganisation operations led the company to specialise by core market through the creation of business units strongly oriented towards the specific market in which they operate, in terms of competence and organisation, thereby making it possible to meet the specific innovation needs in a flexible and speedy manner. The Organisation Development office geared its measures by business unit and gave priority to processes for reorganising human resources and skill class. The analysis of gaps in skills, on which investment policies are based, is linked to an annual process of mapping and balancing of skills identified as the Skill Inventory.

The Skill Inventory consists in:

  • Determining the skills gap for each business unit;
  • Supporting the AS IS analysis to direct future investment in skill sets;

  • Support internal placement throughout the various business units for the best relocation and requalification of human resources;

  • Supporting professional development (skills assessment, career planning, etc.);
  • Improve dialogue, in terms of competence and skills, between the companies in the group on a national and international scale.

The Organisation Development office also provides support to the companies in the Group by:

  • Planning and reviewing work performance (Performance Management);
  • Professional development (Training);
  • Optimisation of the personnel placement and reallocation process (Selection and Orientation department).

In particular, the analysis of the relevant gaps through the skill inventory allows the company to analyse any out-of-date skills, reconverting them through a permanent academy for personnel redevelopment.

For all the companies in the Group remuneration is connected to results achieved by each individual, and it was designed to be sustainable and compatible with company results while ensuring the approach is based on merit.

In terms of Training, the Training Master Plan 2014, a planning tool, provided for approximately 14,238 hours of training for 835 participants. The training courses were set up at the start of the year and reviewed every quarter in order to make the training investment policies consistent with the objectives of each business unit and sustainable with respect to quarterly budget targets. The training programmes, not including those on regulatory provisions (e.g., safety at the workplace), were extensive and carried out with particular attention paid to the needs of each business unit. Indeed, this resulted in selecting training actions that were closely related to the needs of the market and innovation investment. In particular, training programmes concerned the development of:

  • Specialised technical skills: measures for developing technical knowledge and skills to support technological innovation and development programmes, through specialised training plans, also for the purpose of obtaining certification. These specialisation courses were held for all ICT roles by business unit in the Group, in the firm belief that improving skills means raising the value of persons and so the competitive advantage of the organisation.
  • Management skills: ŵeasuƌes to deǀelop ŵaŶageƌial skills of the Edžpƌiǀia Gƌoup's ŵiddle management, i.e., focused on improving organisational conduct and project management.

The following professional development courses are specifically noted:

  • Master's iŶ BusiŶess AdŵiŶistƌatioŶ ;Coƌpoƌate MBAͿ: Exprivia Group training aimed at developing sound knowledge of general management, with the purpose of integrating different professional figures in the Group and improving the operational effectiveness of middle management.
  • Project Management: geared towards developing the necessary skills to be a Project Manager for the Exprivia Group in order to improve project management in terms of quality and compliance with procedures.

The training programmes involved resources from several companies in the Group, encouraging integration of organisational cultures and experiences acquired in different markets. Exprivia has always aimed at the attainment of technical certification for its personnel, in this way ensuring its customers recognised certification of the technical abilities of its staff involved in projects. In 2014, 141 certification exams were taken and 137 were passed with success (97.2%).

Concerning the Business Process Outsourcing unit (Contact Centre), the following courses were held:

About 2,923.18 hours dedicated to continuing education in order to improve the performance of our workers for the activities in question. These hours were attended by about 4,075 participants;

  • About 3,549 hours dedicated to specialised training to enable our workers to deal with new activities. These were attended by about 154 participants;
  • About 13,167 hours dedicated to training for new entries and attended by about 107 participants.

Concerning Orientation, Recruiting and Selection, in 2014 about 74 new resources were hired, including new graduates and workers qualified in technical subjects and IT.

The recruiting processes were particularly focused on hunting for experts specialised in the markets of each business unit, as well as professionals with medium-high seniority. These new recruits boosted the competitive value of Exprivia for each of its core markets.

Concerning the Business Process Outsourcing unit, about 103 new resources were hired to work in the Contact Centre and Back Office. They were hired with particular attention to the quality of the resources considering the increasingly demanding and challenging professional context in which the group operates.

Also in 2014 Exprivia invested in the robust bond enjoyed with Universities, Polytechnics and Research Centres, fully aware of its role in creating innovation and opportunities for young undergraduate students and graduates in the places where it operates. This collaboration materialises in:

  • Seminars for final-year university students (specifically, for those obtaining IT and Engineering degrees), in order to inform them of the opportunities that Exprivia offers in terms of innovation in technologies, applications, products and services;
  • Internships and on-the-job-training programmes offered to university graduates and undergraduates; a highly effective channel since it offers the trainee an important opportunity to tackle topics directly connected with corporate business, at the same time guaranteeing excellent relations with the academic world.

MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL ORGANISATION MODEL (PURSUANT TO LEGISLATIVE DECREE 231/2001)

Effective 31 March 2008, Exprivia adopted its Organisation, Management and Control model under Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 and set up a Supervisory Body. None of its members are directors of Group companies.

This model is integrated with the principles and provisions of the Exprivia Ethics Code. The unique nature of Edžpƌiǀia's goǀeƌŶaŶĐe sLJsteŵ aŶd poliĐies is thus ĐoŶfiƌŵed, ǁhiĐh also focuses on developing a corporate culture that fully complies with the principals of conduct for the Exprivia Group.

The Supervisory Board meets periodically and performs its job in observance of the tasks assigned to it by the Model and Regulations/Articles of Association it has independently adopted, all with the aim of supervising the model's operation and of updating it.

The Organisation, Management and Control model is published on the Company website in the section ͞IŶǀestoƌ - Corporate Governance – Coƌpoƌate IŶfoƌŵatioŶ Repoƌt͟.

GROUP QUALITY ASSURANCE CERTIFICATION

The Quality Management System, conforming to ISO 9001:2008, has been operational in Exprivia S.p.A. since 2003. This system enables effective management of company processes, guaranteeing the greatest transparency inside and outside the company.

INTER-COMPANY RELATIONS

The organisational structure of the Exprivia Group functionally integrates all staff services of the Group subsidiaries within the consolidation area, thereby optimising the operational structures of each company to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in supporting the business of the Group.

The Administration, Finance and Control Department aggregates the Group Finance function with the Administration and Control functions.

The Human Resource Department reports directly to the Chairman of the Exprivia Group, who is the head of the department ad interim.

The Internal Audit, Merger & Acquisition, Corporate Affairs and International Business Departments also report to the Chairman.

The Group companies constantly collaborate with each other for commercial, technological and application development. In particular the following should be pointed out:

  • Widespread use of specific corporate marketing and communication competencies within the group including the production of paper, digital and web-based promotional material;
  • Centralised management for the supply of specialist technical resources between group companies to manage critical points in turnover and to give all operational units access to highly specialised technical competencies;
  • Coordinated participation by Exprivia in public contract tenders with the contribution of all companies according to their specific competencies.

RELATIONS WITH ASSOCIATES

In compliance with applicable legislative and regulatory provisions, and in particular with:

This procedure replaced the one previously in force, which had been introduced on 26 March 2007.

There is a special section in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements (note 41) that describes the relations between associated parties. During the financial year in question there were no unusual transactions with such parties and the business transactions with associated parties, also those not belonging to the Group, were carried out under normal market terms and conditions.

In 2014, no relevant transactions were carried out pursuant to the procedure of transactions with affiliates.

By 31 December 2014 the parent company Abaco Innovazione finished paying back the interest-bearing loan for euro 400,000.00 at an interest rate equal to the Euribor six months plus 5% granted by the company Exprivia SpA on 23 April 2013.

On 24 October 2013, the company Exprivia SpA carried out a minor transaction with an affiliate, consisting of the disbursement to the parent company Abaco Innovazione SpA of an interest-bearing loan of euro 400,000.00 at an interest rate equal to Euribor six months plus 5%, to be repaid in a lump-sum after 18 months from the disbursement, with interest payment deferred to every six months. The loan is secured by a commitment to sell Exprivia shares of equivalent value in the event the loan is not repaid on maturity. This transaction was previously evaluated and approved by the Risk and Control Committee.

The procedure for performing inter-company transactions and transactions with associates is published on the company website iŶ the seĐtioŶ ͞IŶǀestoƌ RelatioŶs – Corporate Governance – Coƌpoƌate IŶfoƌŵatioŶ͟.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT DECEMBER 2014

LEGAL REFERENCES, PREPARATION POLICIES AND PRESENTATION

In application of European Regulation No. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002 and Legislative Decree no. 38 of 28 February 2005, the consolidated financial statements of the Exprivia Group and the financial statements of the parent company Exprivia SpA as at 31 December 2014, were drawn up in compliance with International Accounting Standards approved by the European Community (hereinafter referred to individually as IAS/IFRS or together as IFRS) in force as at 31 December 2014.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the draft financial statements as at 31 December 2014 provided by the management bodies of the consolidated companies. Where necessary, they were duly adjusted to bring them in line with the classification policies and accounting standards adopted by the Group. The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the general policy of giving an accurate and truthful presentation of the Group's financial standing, economic result and cash flows, while adopting the going-concern assumption, and the general policies of accrual basis accounting, presentation coherence, relevance and aggregation, rule against offsetting and comparability of information. The reporting period and the closing date for preparing the consolidated financial statements correspond to those of the financial statements for the Holding Company and for all the consolidated companies. The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the currency used by the Holding Company Exprivia SpA, and all figures are rounded off to the euro, unless stated otherwise. The consolidated financial statements provide comparative information referring to the previous financial year.

The schedules in the financial statements are the following:

  • For the balance sheet the current assets, non-current assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities are posted separately. Current assets are those that are to be made, sold or consumed during the normal operating cycle of the Group. Current liabilities are those that are to be extinguished during the normal operating cycle of the Group or within twelve months following the end of the financial year;
  • For the income statement, the cost and revenue items are posted according to their nature;
  • For the comprehensive income statement, a separate schedule was prepared;
  • For the cash flow statement, the indirect method was used.

ADJUSTMENTS TO COMPARATIVE DATA

In order to make the presentation of data more intelligible, the presentation was changed for certain items in comparative data presented in accordance with IAS 1, with respect to data reported in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013. This had no effect on the result and net equity at that date.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES USED IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards required the use of estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable with respect to the circumstances and knowledge available as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may depart from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are revised constantly. The effects of revised estimates are recognised in the income statement for the period in which the estimates are revised. The estimates mainly concern: amounts allocated to provisions for bad or doubtful debts, made according to the expected sale value of related assets; amounts allocated to provisions for risks, made according to the reasonable estimate of the amount of the potential liability, also with respect to any demands from the counterparty; amounts allocated for employee benefits, recognised according to actuarial valuations; amortisation/depreciation of tangible and intangible assets, recognised according to their remaining useful life and their recoverable value; income taxes, determined according to the best estimate of the rate expected for the entire financial year; development costs, initial capitalisation for which is based on the technical and financial feasibility of the project (future cash flow projections are made for each project). The Group conducts impairment tests on goodwill at least once per year. For such tests an estimate is made on the value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill pertains. This estimate requires a projection of future cash flows and the estimate of the discount rate after tax, which reflects the market conditions at the date of the assessment.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS APPLICABLE FROM 1 JANUARY 2014

IFR"ϭϬ ͞CoŶsolidated FiŶaŶĐial "tateŵeŶts͟

On 12 May 2011 IASB issued IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaces SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements renamed to Separate Financial Statements. It provides accounting requirements for subsidiaries in separate financial statements. The new standard moves from existing standards and according to the new definition of control it determines the crucial factors for the purpose of consolidating a company in the paƌeŶt ĐoŵpaŶLJ's fiŶaŶĐial stateŵeŶts. It also provides guidance for determining the existence of control where it is difficult to verify (de facto control, potential votes, special purpose entities, etc.). The standard has been applicable retrospectively since January 1, 2014. The group re-examined its relations of control over its investee entities as at 1 January 2014 without finding any effect from adopting the new standard.

IFRS 10 did not have any impact on the consolidation of the equity investments held by the Group.

IFR" ϭϭ ͞JoiŶt ArraŶgeŵeŶts͟ replaĐiŶg IA" ϯϭ

On 12 May 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, which replaces IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 - Jointly Controlled Entities - non monetary contributions by venturers. The new standard provides criteria for determining joint arrangements based on rights and obligations deriving from agreements rather than on their legal form, and it establishes the equity method as the only one for recognition of investments in joint ventures. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no effect on the group.

IFR" ϭϮ ͞DisĐlosure of IŶterests iŶ Other EŶtities͟

On 12 May 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, which is a new and complete standard on additional information to disclose for any type of investment, including those in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associated entities, special purpose entities and other non-consolidated vehicle companies. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the group.

On issue of IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, the previous IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, renamed Separate Financial Statements was amended by changing its name and by eliminating all provisions related to consolidated financial statements (the other provisions remain valid). As a result of this change the standard now indicates only criteria for measurement and recognition as well as disclosures to provide in the separate financial statements for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 IAS 28

On issue of IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, the previous IAS 28 was amended in name and in content. In particular, the new standard, which also includes provisions from SIC 13, describes the application of the equity method, which is the valuation criteria for joint ventures and associated entities in the consolidated financial statements. Adoption of the new standard had no effect on the group.

IA" ϯϮ ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstruŵeŶts͟

On 16 December 2011 the IASB issued certain amendments to IAS 32 - Financial instruments: Presentation in order to clarify the application of certain criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities presented in IAS 32. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the group.

IAS ϯ9 ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstruŵeŶts: ReĐogŶitioŶ aŶd MeasureŵeŶt

On 27 June 2013 the IASB issued certain minor amendments to IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, eŶtitled ͞NoǀatioŶ of Deƌiǀatiǀes aŶd CoŶtiŶuatioŶ of Hedge AĐĐouŶtiŶg͟. The changes allow the continuation of hedge accounting when a derivative financial instrument, designated as a hedging instrument, is novated as a result of laws or regulations for the purpose of replacing the original counterparty to ensure the obligation is fulfilled and if certain conditions are met. The same amendment is also included in IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the group.

IA" ϯϲ ͞ReĐoveraďle AŵouŶt DisĐlosures for NoŶ-FiŶaŶĐial Assets͟

On 29 May 2013, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 36 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets in order to clarify information to disclose on the recoverable value of impaired assets if the amount is based on fair value net of sales costs. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the group.

IFRIC Ϯϭ ͞Levies͟ - IA" ϯϳ ͞ProvisioŶs, CoŶtiŶgeŶt Liaďilities aŶd CoŶtiŶgeŶt Assets͟

On 20 May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21 - Levies, interpretation of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. IFRIC 21 provides clarification on when an entity must recognise a liability for the payment of government levies, with the exception of those already regulated by other standards (e.g., IAS 12 - Income Taxes). IAS 37 establishes criteria for recognising a liability, one of which when a company has a current obligation resulting from past events (known as a binding fact). The interpretation clarifies that the binding fact, which gives rise to a liability for the payment of a levy, is described in the law that requires for the payment itself. IFRIC 21 is operative for periods beginning on 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the group.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET APPLICABLE ON 01 JANUARY 2014

At the date of these financial statements, the competent bodies of the European Union have not yet concluded the approval process needed to adopt the following accounting standards and amendments:

On 21 November 2013 the IASB issued certain minor amendments to IAS 19 – Employee Benefits entitled ͞DefiŶed BeŶefit PlaŶs: EŵploLJee CoŶtƌiďutioŶs͟. These amendments simplify accounting of contributions to defined benefit plans made by employees or third parties in specific cases. The amendments are retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. Early adoption is allowed.

On 12 December 2013, the IASB issued a group of amendments to IFRSs (Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2010-2013 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2011-2013 Cycle). Among others, the most significant issues dealt with in the amendments are: definition of vesting conditions in IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, disclosures on estimates and opinions used in grouping operating segments in IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, identification and disclosure of transactions with a related party when a service entity provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity in IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, exclusion from application scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, of all types of joint arrangements (as defined in IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements), and certain clarifications on the exceptions to the application of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

On 6 May 2014, the IASB issued certain amendments to IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements: Accounting for the acquisition of interests in joint operations, providing clarifications on accounting for the acquisition of interests in joint operations that constitute a business. The amendments are retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Early adoption is allowed.

In May 2014 the IA"B aŶd FA"B joiŶtlLJ puďlished IFR" ϭϱ ͞ReǀeŶue fƌoŵ CoŶtƌaĐts ǁith Custoŵeƌs͟. This standard intends to improve disclosure of revenues and their comparison between different annual reports. The new standard is retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Early adoption is allowed.

OŶ ϭϮ MaLJ ϮϬϭϰ, the IA"B issued aŵeŶdŵeŶts to IA" ϭϲ aŶd IA" ϯϴ ͞ClaƌifiĐatioŶ of AĐĐeptaďle Methods of DepƌeĐiatioŶ aŶd AŵoƌtisatioŶ͟, iŶ ǁhiĐh the adoptioŶ of ƌeǀeŶue-based methods of depreciation and amortisation are considered inappropriate. For intangible assets only, the clarification introduces a presumption that can be overcome only under one of the following circumstances: (i) the right of use for an intangible asset is correlated to the achievement of a predetermined revenue threshold; or (ii) when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. The amendments are applicable for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2016.

On 24 July 2014, the IASB finished the draft of the accounting standard on financial instruments and issued the Đoŵplete ǀeƌsioŶ of IFR" ϵ ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstƌuŵeŶts͟. In particular, the new provisions of IFRS 9: (i) amend the classification and measurement model for financial assets; (ii) introduce a new model for impairment of financial assets that takes into consideration expected credit losses; and (iii) amend regulations on hedge accounting. The amendments to IFRS 9 are applicable for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2018.

The group will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations according to the date of application required for each, and it will assess the potential impact when they are approved by the European Union.

CONSOLIDATION CRITERIA

The consolidation area includes the financial statements of the Holding Company Exprivia S.p.A. with those of the subsidiaries and associates, except for the shareholdings held for sale.

Companies considered subsidiaries are those where: voting rights, also potential, held by the Group enable aĐhieǀeŵeŶt of a ŵajoƌitLJ of ǀotes iŶ the oƌdiŶaƌLJ shaƌeholdeƌs' ŵeetiŶg of the ĐoŵpaŶLJ; ĐoŶtƌol is obtained by virtue of any agreements between the shareholders or any particular statutory stipulations that give the Group the power to oversee the company; the Group controls a sufficient number of votes to edžeƌĐise ĐoŶtƌol iŶ the oƌdiŶaƌLJ shaƌeholdeƌs' ŵeetiŶg of the ĐoŵpaŶLJ.

Subsidiaries are consolidated line-by-line in consolidated accounts starting from the date in which control is established and until the Group no longer holds such control. The book value of the interests in subsidiaries is eliminated from the accounts against the related net equity for the period, not including the profit or loss for the period. The share of net equity and profit or loss pertaining to minority interests is reported under the iteŵ ͞MiŶoƌitLJ IŶteƌests͟ iŶ the BalaŶĐe "heet aŶd uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞MiŶoƌitLJ "haƌeholdeƌs͟ iŶ the Income Sheet. The result of the comprehensive income statement for a subsidiary is attributed to minorities also when this means minority interests have a negative balance. Interests in associates are valued with the equity method. An entity is considered associated when the Group is able to participate in defining its operational and financial policies even if it is not controlled or subject to joint control. According to the equity method, interests in an associated company is carried at purchase cost and adjusted, up or down, by the variations in the associate's net assets for the amount pertaining to the Group. Goodwill pertaining to the associate is included in the book value of the interest, and it is not subject to amortisation. Transactions generating internal earnings between the Group and associates are eliminated by the percentage of Group ownership. Adjustments are made to the financial statements of companies valued with the equity method in order to make them compliant with the valuation policies adopted by the Group. All balances and transactions between consolidated entities, including profit not yet realised, are eliminated. Losses deriving from intercompany transactions and not yet realised are eliminated with the exception of cases where there is impairment of transferred assets. Third party profits and losses not yet realised and deriving from transactions with associates or joint ventures are eliminated in the amount pertaining to the Group. Transactions concerning acquisitions and disposal of minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries are considered transactions with shareholders and therefore their effects are reported under net equity.

CONSOLIDATION OF FOREIGN COMPANIES

All assets and liabilities of foreign companies in currency other than the Euro and that fall within the consolidation area are converted using the exchange rate at the reference date of the financial statements. Income and expenses are converted at the average exchange rate. The exchange differences arising from the application of this method are classified under net equity until disposal of the investment. In preparing the consolidated financial statements the average exchange rates were used to convert foreign subsidiary cash flows.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments generated by the acquisition of a foreign entity are recorded in the relevant currency and are converted using the exchange rate effective at the end of the accounting period. The primary exchange rates used for conversion into euro of the financial statements of foreign companies for 2014 were as follows:

Exchange rate EUR/GTQ EURO/MXN EURO/PEN EURO/USA EURO/BRL EURO/HKD EURO/CNY
31/12/2014 9.22534 17.8692 3.6327 - 3.6327 1.2141 3.2207 9.4170 7.5358
Year average 2014 10.28390 17.6621 1.3288 3.1151 9 9828 7.6775

Transactions in foreign currency are initially converted into the reporting currency at the exchange rate applicable on the date of the transaction. At the end of the period in question the monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are converted into the reporting currency at the exchange rate applicable on the closing date. Exchange differences are recognised in the Income Statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency, valued at cost, are converted at the exchange rate applicable at the date of the transaction, whereas those measured at fair value are converted at the exchange rate applicable on the date the measurement is made.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are recognised according to the purchase accounting method pursuant to IFRS 3. According to this method, the cost of a business combination is measured at fair value, calculated as the sum of the fair value of assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Group at the date of acquisition and the equity instruments issued to the seller in exchange for control over the acquired entity. Acquisition-related costs for the transaction are recognised in the income statement when incurred.

The cost of a business combination it compared to the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities found on purchase. Any positive difference between the purchase cost and the amount pertaining to the group of the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities found on purchase is recognised as goodwill. If the difference is negative it is charged directly to the Income Statement. If only a temporary initial book value of a business combination can be determined the initial value adjustments are carried within twelve months from the date of purchase. Amounts pertaining to third parties are carried according to the fair value of the net assets purchased. If a business combination is made over several phases with subsequent purchase of shares each phase is valued separately using the cost and information on fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of each transaction to determine the amount of any difference. When a subsequent purchase results in obtaining control of an entity the amount previously held is carried again according to the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities determined at the date control is achieved. Any amounts payable by the buyer are recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of amounts payable and classed as assets or liabilities, as a financial instrument under IAS 39, are recognised in the Income Statement or in the schedule containing the other components of the comprehensive income statement. When the amount does not fall under IAS 39 it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. If the amount is classed under net equity its value is not

redetermined and its subsequent regulation is accounted for under net equity. Goodwill is initially recognised at cost, i.e., the excess of the sum of the amount paid and the amount carried for minority interests with respect to the net assets acquired and liabilities undertaken by the Group. If the amount is lower than the fair value of the acquired investee compaŶLJ's Ŷet assets the diffeƌeŶĐe is Đaƌƌied iŶ the Income Statement.

The option to purchase a part of minority interests or the option to sell minority interests is taken into consideration when determining whether control has been acquired. Additionally, if control is acquired the amounts related to minority call options are considered financial liabilities as provided for under IAS 32.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND VALUATION POLICIES

The accounting standards adopted for drawing up the consolidated financial statements are the same as those adopted for drawing up the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year which closed as at 31 December 2013.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND MACHINERY

Property, plant and machinery are recognised at the cost of acquisition or production. The cost of acquisition or production is the price paid to acquire or build the business and any other cost incurred to prepare the asset for use. The price paid to acquire or produce the asset is the cash price equivalent at the time of accounting; therefore, if payment is deferred beyond normal credit extension terms, the difference with respect to the equivalent cash price is recorded as interest for the extension period. The financial charges incurred for the acquisition or production of the asset are never capitalised. The capitalisation of costs relating to the expansion, modernisation or improvement of leased assets is done only in so far as they satisfy the requirements for being classified as an asset or part of an asset.

After initial recognition, plant, machinery and other assets are entered at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The depreciated value of each significant component of a tangible asset, with a different useful life, is amortised by the straight-line method over the expected period of use. Considering the homogeneity of the assets included in the individual categories of the financial statements, it is assumed that the useful life per category of assets is the following (with the exception of certain significant cases):

Land indefinite useful life
Buildings 33 years
Plant and Machinery 4 – 7 years
Office Furnishings and Electronic Equipment 5 – 8 years
Equipment and Vehicles 4 - 7 years

Land, including pertaining to buildings, is accounted for separately and not depreciated as it is a component with indefinite useful life.

The amortisation criteria used, the useful life and residual value are reviewed at the end of each accounting period and, if necessary, redefined to take into account any significant changes.

Industrial buildings are carried at a value periodically reassessed at market value less depreciation and impairment (revaluation model). As set forth by IAS 16, the company measures fair value and then remeasures it only when there is a significant difference with respect to the book value.

Costs that can be capitalised for improvements to leased assets are attributed to the classes of fixed assets to which they refer and depreciated for the shorter time between the remaining period on the lease agreement and the remaining useful life of the asset to which the improvement was made.

The book value of property, plant and machinery is maintained in the financial statements to the extent that such value can be recovered through use. If significant factors are noticed, which include the likelihood of recovering the net carrying amount, an impairment test is performed to determine any loss of value. A reversal is applied if the conditions at the basis of the impairment no longer apply.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is recognised based on the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3, as described in the section on business combinations, is not amortised but is subject to impairment tests at least once a year. To this end these values are allocated to one or more cash generating units starting on the acquisition date or by the end of the financial year.

If goodwill was allocated to a cash generating unit and the entity disposes of an asset that belongs to that unit then the goodwill associated to the asset is included in the book value of the asset when determining the gain or loss from the disposal. This amount is determined according to the values of the assets disposed of and the part kept.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets, which include development costs, patent rights and use of intellectual property, concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights and software, are recognised as assets only if all the conditions laid down in IAS 38 are met (cost can be measured reliably, technical feasibility of product, the asset can be identified or separated, the Group controls the asset, or it has the power receive its future economic benefit, expected volume and price indicate that the costs incurred during development will generate future economic benefit) and valued at cost minus accumulated amortisation, determined on a straight-line basis over the period of expected use, on average, except for specific cases of 3-5 years, and any impairment. The amortisation criteria used, the useful life and residual value are reviewed at the end of each accounting period and, if necessary, redefined to take into account any significant changes.

Costs foƌ deǀelopŵeŶt pƌojeĐts aƌe Đapitalised uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞Đosts foƌ Đapitalised iŶteƌŶal pƌojeĐts͟ oŶlLJ when the development phase has ended and the product developed begins to generate economic benefit. They are subject to amortisation. During the period in which costs are incurred for capitalised internal development projects they are floated in the Income Statement as increases in fixed assets for internal ǁoƌk aŶd Đlassed uŶdeƌ ͞Đosts foƌ Đapitalised iŶteƌŶal pƌojeĐts͟.

LEASING

Machinery owned through financial leasing contracts, for which the group has substantially assumed the risks and benefits which would arise from ownership, are recognised as assets on the basis of the criteria indicated by IAS 17. They are depreciated according to estimated useful life.

Leasing agreements where the lessor substantially keeps all risks and benefits of ownership are considered as operating leasing. The costs for leasing are carried in consistent amounts in the Income Statement for the duration of the agreement.

The amount payable to the lessor is included in the other financial liabilities.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are reported in the presence of a formal resolution and are accounted for as income in the financial year when related costs are incurred.

Grants received against specific assets whose value is carried under fixed assets are entered in the income statement in relation to the period of amortisation/depreciation for the assets to which they refer.

Advances received for terminated projects, for which a closing report has yet to be issued, have been classified as deductions from receivables. For ongoing projects, advances remain accounted for under liabilities.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Impairment occurs every time the book value of an asset is greater than its recoverable value. The existence of any indicators suggesting impairment is checked at every balance sheet date. If those indicators are found the recoverable value of the asset is estimated (impairment test) and a write-down is recognised where necessary. Regardless of the existence of the indicators, an impairment test is carried out at least once a year for the assets not yet available for use and for goodwill.

The recoverable value of an asset is the greater between its fair value, net of sale costs, and its use value. The recoverable value is calculated with reference to a single asset, unless it is unable to generate incoming cash flow from continued use notably independent of the incoming cash flows generated by other assets or groups of assets, in which case the test is carried out for the smallest unit generating independent flows which include the asset in question (Cash Generating Unit).

When the write-down has no reason to be maintained, the book value of the asset (or cash generating unit), except for goodwill, is increased to the new value obtained from its estimated recovery value, in any case not over the net carrying amount that the assets would have had if the write-down due to impairment had not been made. The restored value is charged to the income statement, unless the asset is measured at the re-valued figure; in this case the recovered value is posted under the revaluation reserve.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Investments in other companies constituting financial assets available for sale are measured at fair value, if determinable, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are attributed directly to other comprehensive profit/(loss) until they are sold or are impaired; at that time, the Other comprehensive profit/(loss) previously recognised under net equity are recognised in the income statement of the period. Investments in other companies for which the fair value is unavailable are carried at cost, less any impairment.

Dividends received from these companies are included under the item financial income and charges and other investments.

All the other financial assets are classified into the following categories:

Financial assets at fair value offset in the Income Statement: financial assets mainly acquired with the intention of making a profit from short-term price fluctuations (a period not longer than three months) or designated as such from the start;

  • Financial assets held to maturity: investments in financial assets with preset maturity and fixed payments or determinable payments that the Group has the intention and capability to maintain through to maturity;
  • Loans and other financial receivables: financial assets with payments that are fixed or can be decided, not listed on an active market and different from those originally classified as financial assets at fair value and offset in the income statement or as financial assets available for sale;
  • Financial assets available for sale: financial assets other than those in the above categories or those designated as such from the start.

The Group classifies financial assets at the date of acquisition and accounts for them at fair value at the date of acquisition.

After initial recognition, the financial assets at fair value offset in the income statement and assets available foƌ sale ;ǁheƌe theƌe is Ŷo ͞aĐtiǀe͟ ŵaƌketͿ aƌe ŵeasuƌed at faiƌ ǀalue, financial assets held to maturity and as well as loans and other financial receivables are valued at amortised cost.

Profit and loss arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value offset in the income statement is recognised in the income statement of financial year in which they occur. Unrealised profit and loss arising from changes in the fair value of assets classified as available for sale are carried under net equity.

The fair value of financial assets is determined on the basis of their market prices or by using financial models. The fair value of unlisted financial assets is measured using special assessment techniques adapted to the specific context of the Company. Financial assets for which the current value cannot be determined in a reliable manner are accounted for at a lower cost due to impairment.

The existence of any impairment indicators is checked at each balance sheet date. Write-downs in the income statement and under net equity reflect the valuation policies for financial assets. The impairment previously accounted for is eliminated whenever the circumstances leading to the write-down no longer apply, with the exception of assets valued at cost.

Loans, payables and other financial and/or trade liabilities with preset or definable maturity are initially carried at their fair value, not including costs incurred for assuming the amounts payable. The valuation policy applied following initial recognition is the amortisation cost using the effective interest rate method. Long-term loans without an interest rate are accounted for by discounting future cash flows at the market rate if the increase in amounts is due to the passing of time. Amounts for interest are then carried in the iŶĐoŵe stateŵeŶt uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞Ŷet fiŶancial income and charges". Financial payables are cancelled when the obligation underlying the payable is extinguished, voided or settled.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are recognised at the lesser value between the purchase price, determined in accordance with the specific cost, and the net sales price. The cost is the fair value of the price paid and any other cost directly attributable with the exception of financial charges. The net sales value is the estimated sales price net of costs for completion and sales. Any write-downs are eliminated in subsequent financial years if the reasons for the write-down no longer apply.

CONTRACT WORK IN PROGRESS

Work in progress is recognised according to the state of progress or percentage of completion so that costs, revenue and margin are carried according to the state of progress determined by referring to the ratio between costs incurred at the date of valuation and total expected cost. The valuation reflects the best estimate of programmes carried out at the balance sheet date. The estimates are updated periodically. Any economic effects are accounted for in the financial year in which the updates are made. If completed contract work is expected to result in a loss this is recognised entirely in the financial year in which it is reasonably forecast. Contract work in progress is carried without including any write-down provisions, losses on contract completion, or payments on account and advances for the contract being executed. This analysis is performed on a contract by contract basis. Whenever the difference is positive for work in progress higher than the amount of payments on account then it is classified under assets in the item in question. Whenever this difference is negative the amount is classified under liabilities in the item ͞adǀaŶĐe paLJŵeŶt foƌ ĐoŶtƌaĐt ǁoƌk iŶ pƌogƌess".

CASH AT BANK AND ON HAND

Cash at bank and on hand consists of short-term investments (generally not exceeding three months), easily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. They are carried at fair value.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, liquid assets are made up of cash, demand deposits at banks, short-term, highly liquid financial assets (original maturity not exceeding three months), and overdraft facilities. Current account overdrafts are carried under current financial liabilities.

OWN SHARES

Own Shares

Own shares are reported in reduction of share capital. No profit (loss) is recognised in the Income statement for the acquisition, sale, issue or cancellation of own shares.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Short-term benefits

Short-term benefits for employees are accounted for in the income statement in the period in which the work was performed.

Defined benefit plans

The Group grants its employees benefits under the Employee Severance Indemnity Fund (TFR). The employee severance indemnity accrued as at 31 December 2006 is considered a defined benefit to be accounted for in accordance with IAS 19. These benefits fall under the definition: defined benefit plan determined in existence and amount but uncertain in when payable.

The total amount of the obligation is calculated on a yearly basis by an external actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses are fully accounted for in the related financial year.

Recognition of the changes in actuarial gain/loss is carried amongst the comprehensive income statement components after the revised version of IAS 19 (Employee benefits) was adopted.

Defined contribution plans

The Group takes part in public or private pension plans with defined contributions on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. PaLJŵeŶt of the ĐoŶtƌiďutioŶs fulfils the Gƌoup's oďligatioŶ toǁaƌds its employees. Thus, such contributions form an expense for the period in which they are due.

The employee severance indemnity accrued after 31 December 2006 is considered a defined contribution obligation.

STOCK OPTIONS

Share-based payments are measured at fair value on the date they are assigned. This value is charged to the iŶĐoŵe stateŵeŶt aŶd offset uŶdeƌ shaƌeholdeƌs' eƋuitLJ oǀeƌ the eŶtiƌe peƌiod iŶ ǁhiĐh the entitlement accrues. The fair value of the options, calculated on the date of assignment, is measured by using financial mathematical models and taking into consideration the basic terms and conditions under which the entitlement is assigned. The Group plan concluded in 2011 and the related reserve was classified under other provisions.

POTENTIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Potential assets and liabilities of an unlikely (but possible) or remote nature are not recognised in the financial statements; nevertheless, adequate information is given concerning possible potential assets and liabilities.

Whenever there is any financial disbursement relating to the obligation, and it occurs after the normal payment terms and the effect of discounting back is significant, the amount set aside corresponds to the current value of future payments expected to cancel the obligation.

PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

Provisions for risks and charges are probable liabilities of an uncertain amount and/or due date deriving from past events whose fulfilment will entail the use of economic resources. The amounts are only set aside if there is a current, legal or contractual obligation which makes the use of economic resources necessary, provided a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. The amount recognised is the best estimate of the expense to fulfil the obligation as at the balance sheet date. Provisions set aside are reviewed at every balance sheet date and adjusted to ensure they are the best current estimate.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative contracts were recognised according to the designation the derivative instruments (speculative or hedging) and the nature of the risk covered (Fair Value Hedge or Cash Flow Hedge).

For contracts designated as speculative, any changes in fair value are directly recognised in the income statement.

In hedging contracts Fair Value Hedge is accounted for by recognising any changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the instrument hedged.

If it is identified as Cash Flow Hedge, it is accounted for by floating the fair value portion of change of the hedging instrument, which is recognised as effective cover in the net equity, and charging the ineffective portion to the Income statement. The changes recognised directly under net equity are released in the income statement in the same reporting period or periods in which the asset or liability hedged influences the income statement.

ASSET TRANSFERS

The assets transferred by way of factoring transactions, which comply with the requirements established by IAS 39, are derecognised from the balance sheet.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Revenues arising from the assignment of assets are recognised when risk is transferred, which usually occurs on despatch, at the fair value of payment received or due while taking into account any discounts.

Revenues arising from the provision of services are defined according to the percentage of completion, determined as the proportion of services performed at the date of reference and the total value of the services remaining to be performed.

Expenses are recognised with the same criteria used to recognise revenue recognition and, in any case, on an accruals basis.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND CHARGES

Payable/receivable interest is recognised as financial income/charges after being checked on an accruals basis.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders hold the right to receive them, in accordance with local legislation.

TAXES

Taxes during the reporting period are defined on the basis of amounts expected to be due according to the tax laws in force.

In addition, deferred taxes and those paid in advance are recognised on the temporary differences between the values carried in the financial statements and the corresponding values recognised for tax purposes, and showing accumulated tax losses or unused tax credits, provided it is probable that the recovery (discharge) reduces (increases) future tax payments with respect to those that would have occurred if that recovery (discharge) had not had any tax effect. The tax effects of transactions or other events are recognised in the income statement or directly under net equity using the same methods used to recognise transactions or events that result in taxation.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Holding Company by the average number of ordinary shares in circulation during the period.

For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the economic result for the period minus the amount attributable to minority interests was used in the numerator. Further, there are no privileged dividends, conversion of privileged shares and other similar effects which could adjust the economic result attributable to holders of ordinary capital instruments.

The diluted earnings per share is equal to the earnings per share adjusted to take into account the theoretical conversion of all potential shares.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Transactions in foreign currency are converted into the reporting currency at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses on exchanges arising from liquidation related to these transactions and the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities into foreign currency are recognised in the income statement.

SEGMENT REPORTING

In accordance with the qualitative and quantitative factors provided by IFRS 8, the Group identified the following operating segments:

  • Banks, Finance and Insurance
  • Industry & Aerospace
  • Energy
  • Telco & Media
  • Health and Healthcare
  • Utilities
  • Public Administration
  • International Business

Transfer prices applied to transactions between segments for trading goods and providing services are regulated according to standard market conditions.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Exprivia Group is exposed to the following financial risks:

INTEREST RATE RISK

Over the years Exprivia group has obtained various loans including several medium-long term at a fixed rate and others at a facilitated rate, the latter relating to funded research and development projects. Concerning variable rate loans, where considered necessary the Group stipulates interest rate swap agreements or cap agreements to hedge the risk of fluctuating interest rates.

Changes in interest rates during the financial year did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

CREDIT RISK

Exprivia group does not have significant concentrations of credit risk except for work carried out in the Public Administration sector, where delays are recorded mainly due to the payment policies adopted by public bodies. They often do not respect the conditions set forth in contracts but, nevertheless, they do not lead to the risk of bad debts.

The group also manages this risk by selecting counterparts considered to be solvent by the market and with high credit standing.

All amounts receivable are periodically assessed for each individual customer, and they are written down when they are considered impaired. Risk for the Group is mainly related to trade receivables.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent management of liquidity risk is pursued by planning cash flows, financing needs and the liquidity of the Exprivia group to ensure effective management of financial resources by managing any surplus liquidity, and by opening credit lines where necessary, including short-term ones.

As a result of this management, while taking into accoiunt liquidity from loans and credit lines already in place and cash flows the Group is able to generate, risks related to liquidity (at least in the short term) are considered insignificant.

EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Since the majority of operations conducted by the Exprivia group is in the Euro area there is limited exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions that are not in the usual currency (Euro). Opening up to markets characterised by major fluctuations (e.g., Brazil) might constitute a risk to be monitored, depending, however, on the volumes in place, which for the moment are not significant.

Fluctuating exchange rates during the financial year did not have a significant effect on the Group.

The table below provides a reconciliation between financial assets and liabilities included in the schedule for the Group balance sheet and classes of financial assets and liabilities provided by IFRS 7 (amounts in millions of euro):

The financial instruments outlined above were valued at book value as that is considered nearest to the fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy Measurement

Concerning financial instruments carried in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 7 requires that these values be classified according to a hierarchy reflecting the significance of input used in determining fair value. There are three levels as follows: :

  • Level 1 quoted prices on an active market for similar assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 inputs other than the quoted prices in level 1, which are directly observable (prices) or indirectly observable on the market;
  • Level 3 inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Scope of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2014 include the equity, economic and financial position of the holding company Exprivia S.p.A. and subsidiaries and has changed compared to 31 December 2013 due to the purchase of the investment in Exprivia Telco & Media Srl (formerly Devoteam au Systems S.p.A.) (consolidated from 1 April 2014) and the incorpoaration of the company Exprivia Asia Ltd (consolidated starting from 27 May 2014) and Exprivia IT Solutions Shanghai (starting from 3 November 2014).

Concerning the acquisition of Devoteam auSystem SpA (now Exprivia Telco & Media), on 11 February 2014 Exprivia SpA stipulated a binding agreement to acquire from the French group 100% of Devoteam auSystem SpA, which for over 15 years has been a leading company in the Italian media and telecommunications market. Its customers include major international operators and it offers embedded systems, telecommunications networks, OSS systems, new generation networks (NGN) mobile applications and M2M solutions. On 16 April 2014 Exprivia concluded its acquisition of 100% of the share capital in Devoteam auSystem SpA. The value of the acquisition of 100% of the share capital was euro 0.5 million, fully settled in cash, including the net financial position of the company as at 31.12.2013, which was negative for euro 3.7 million. In accordance with IFRS 3, the difference between the net worth of the acquired company at the date when control was achieved (euro 826,737) and the price paid (euro 500,000) ǁas Đaƌƌied iŶ the iŶĐoŵe stateŵeŶt uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞fiŶaŶĐial iŶĐoŵe aŶd Đhaƌges aŶd otheƌ iŶǀestŵeŶts͟ for euro 326,737.

On 24 June 2014, Exprivia SpA acquired 40% of the shares of the Spanish company Exprivia SL from the company Apotema BPM Holdings SL - it had already held 60% of the company. The shares were acquired by the exercise of the call and put options by Exprivia SpA and Apotema SL respectively, as had already been agreed by contract. The price of sale paid by Exprivia SpA amounted to euro 1,039,790, with euro 76,000.15 paid in cash and euro 963,789.85 in kind, by transfer of 1,027,166 treasury shares. This transaction did not effect the scope of consolidation as the company Exprivia SL had already been fully consolidated since Exprivia SpA held control.

The increase (of euro 519,470) and the accumulated depreciation (for euro 384,517) for the new scope of consolidation refers to the tangible fixed assets acquired with the company Exprivia Telco & Media in 2014; more specifically the most significant item is attributable to the purchases for electronic office machinery where the net book value amounts to euro 81,175.

The increase in ͞laŶd͟, amounting to euro 182,813, is attributable to the land at the head office in Via Giovanni Agnelli in Molfetta.

The iŶĐƌease of euƌo ϱ,ϬϬϱ,ϲϬϵ iŶ the iteŵ ͞buildings͟ is ŵaiŶlLJ due to:

  • euro 3,869,349 in costs incurred to build the Molfetta building in Via Giovanni Agnelli
  • euro 1,136,260 in costs incurred to renovate the Molfetta buildings in Via Adriano Olivetti 11.

The increase in the item ͞others͟, equal to euro 1,284,524, is mainly due to the purchases of electronic office equipment (euro 954,979), utility systems (euro 84,766), furniture and furnishings (euro 68,555) and leased assets (euro 107,498).

The decrease in the item ͞ǁoƌk iŶ pƌogƌess͟ is due to the reclassification of costs (incurred in previous financial years to increase the value of buildings) after the work was concluded and the buildings became operational.

The net book value of leased assets came to Euro 804,582 and relates to electronic office equipment (Euro 334,432), furniture and furnishings (Euro 453,926), vehicles (Euro 7,663) and telephone systems (Euro 8,561). It should also be noted that minimum future payments within one year amount to Euro 343,070, while those due in one to five years amount to Euro 325,837.

2 - GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS WITH AN INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE

The iteŵ ͞goodwill and other assets with an indefinite useful life͟ amounted to euro 67,263,482 as at 31 December 2014 compared to euro 68,928,041 as at 31 December 2014. This change is mainly due to the reduction of goodwill pertaining to ProSap SL as a result of the failure to achieve the earn-out objectives stipulated in the agreement to acquire the controlling share of the company. In 2014 agreements were reached with minority shareholders which included the release of the debt from previous financial years for the same amount (euro 1,522,784).

Goodwill was generated in the business combinations made in previous financial years as a result of the Group's growth from acquiring companies operating in the same market.

INFORMATION RELATED TO IMPAIRMENT TESTS PERFORMED ON GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS WITH AN INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE: IMPAIRMENT TEST

Scope

Accounting standard IAS 36 requires that impairment tests should be performed on tangible and intangible assets in the presence of indicators which suggest that this problem could exist.

In the case of goodwill, as well as all other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, such impairment tests should be performed on a yearly basis or more frequently in the case of special negative events that might result in impairment.

Identification of CGU (Cash Generating Unit) and Allocation of Goodwill

Not representing goodwill, according to international accounting standards, an asset that is unable to generate cash flow independently from other assets or groups of assets cannot be tested for impairment separately from other related assets.

For this purpose goodwill is allocated to a CGU or a group of CGUs in compliance with the maximum aggregation consistent with the notion of operating segment referred to in IFRS 8.

Concerning the Exprivia Group goodwill was allocated to CGUs as follows:

  • o goodwill arising from business combinations through which assets were acquired and assigned to specific CGUs from an operational standpoint was allocated to the respective CGUs.
  • o Goodwill arising from business combinations, through which assets were acquired and to date do not refer to specific CGUs as they were assigned to different CGUs, was attributed to different CGUs in proportion to the sales volumes they generated in the financial year when the allocation was first made.
  • o Goodwill allocated as above was reallocated as a result of internal reorganisation in line with the same allocation criteria described above.

Impairment Test Process and Assessment System

The recoverability of the amount of goodwill carried in the financial statements is checked by comparing the book value allocated to each CGU and the recoverable amount in the definition of value of use. At the date of analysis, the latter is identified as the current value of future cash flow expected to be generated by the CGUs. The "DCF - Discounted Cash Flow" model was used in determining the value of use. The DCF discounts estimated future cash flow by applying an appropriate discount rate.

The WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) used to discount cash flows was equal to 6.8% and was determined using the following parameters:

  • Cost of KE risk capital equal to 8.61% calculated according to:
    • o risk-free rate of 3% equal to the average rate in 2014 of ten-year BTP with implicit country risk (source: Treasury DepaƌtŵeŶt MiŶistƌLJ of the EĐoŶoŵLJ aŶd FiŶaŶĐe ͞PƌiŵaƌLJ IŶteƌest Rates͟Ϳ
    • o Specific beta coefficient for the Group equal to 1.5 (source: Banca Akros Analyst Coverage of 9.1.2014) cleared from financial risk (unlevered beta equal to 0.98)
    • o 5.7% market risk premium (source: survey on market risk premiums used in 51 countries in 2013 P. Fernandez, J. Aguirreamalloa and P. Linares)
  • Cost of debt equal to 6%
  • Debt/Equity ratio equal to 0.72 calculated according to the ratio between the net financial position and average stock market capitalisation in the last 12 months.

Identification of Cash Flow

For the purpose of the projections required by IAS 36, strict reference was made to the current condition of use of each CGU regardless of the cash flow from any investment plans and extraordinary transactions that may constitute a "break" from normal company operations.

The operating cash flow projections for the period of five years used for the purpose of assessing the value derive from economic-financial forecasts for 2015-2020, the assumptions underlying adopted scenarios and flows achieved, are submitted to the Board of Directors prior to approving the impairment test.

The end value was calculated as the current value of perpetual performance obtained capitalising the cash flow generated in the last analytical forecast period normalised through a 20% reduction at a 2% G growth factor.

Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis was carried out on the outcome of impairment tests assuming the following change in key parameters:

  • A 1% increase in the weighted average cost of capital;
  • A deĐƌease iŶ the gƌoǁth ƌate ͞G͟ fƌoŵ Ϯ% to ϭ%;

The sensitivity analysis shows that the values in use were higher than the book value except for the Industry CGU so a WACC higher by 1% together with a 1% growth rate would result in a writedown of about euro 175 thousand.

The tests performed did not show any impairment that should be reported in the financial statements.

3 - OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The item Other intangible assets amounted to Euro 5,003,977 at 31 December 2014 (net of amortisation) compared to Euro 5,377,529 at 31 December 2013.

The item͞paLJaďles to supplieƌs͟ refers to medium/long-term payment for leased assets.

16 - PROVISION FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

At 31 December 2014 the item ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ ƌisks aŶd Đhaƌges͟ amounted to Euro 1,384,724 compared to Euro 1,019,046 at 31 December 2013. The breakdown is shown in the table below:

Description 31/12/2014 31/12/2013 Variation

Provision for other risks 313,558 204,221 109,337
TOTAL 1,384,724 1,019,046 365,677

The provision for dispute risks of euro 710,000 refers to amounts set aside for possible risks related to current disputes:

  • Euro 150,000 relates to the provision for risks set aside by Exprivia Enterprise ConsultingSrl, ĐoŶĐeƌŶiŶg RealteĐh AG's ĐƌiŵiŶal Đlaiŵ due to the ŶoŶ-fulfilment of the obligation to retain the name of Realtech Italia until 31.12.13, a penalty claimed by the licensor despite the fact it had been notified of the corporate merger operation beforehand which would have led to the incorporation of the company Realtech Italia in WelNetwork Srl (now Exprivia Enterprise Consulting Srl).
  • Euro 560,000 provision against any adverse outcome of pending civil legal proceedings in which the Holding Company is involved.

The ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ tadž dispute ƌisks͟ of Euro 73,453 can be broken down as follows:

Euro 65,000 for the official audit report issued by the Inland Revenue Agency of Bari on 27/10/2014 against Exprivia SpA, where certain tax irregularities were found for about euro 81,000 in addition to interest and sanctions. The company only partially accepts the report by the Inland Revenue Agency of Bari and set aside euro 65,000.

Euro 8,453 as the remaining amount from the previous provision of euro 23,322. The matter refers to the assessment notices of 2004 and 2005 in relation to the official audit report served to WELNETWORK SpA (now Exprivia Enterprise Consulting Srl, hereafter: EEC) on 7 December 2007, which states that the company allegedly broke VAT laws as well as allegations concerning undeclared capital gains, irrelevant entertainment costs and software capitalisation. In 2010 the company made separate appeals. At the hearing of 8/11/2011 the presiding judge combined the two appeals and with decision 55/01/12 filed on 31/08/2012 the combined appeals submitted by Wel.Network SpA were accepted, with the exception of a lower amount related to IRAP 2004 (recovery of costs considered non-deductible for euro 7,379.00). All the other allegations were cancelled. On 17/1/2013 the company received a payment order for 14,868.41, which was duly paid. On 18 February 2013, the Inland Revenue Agency filed an appeal. The company filed its counterclaims at the Regional Tax Commission of Bologna. The hearing has not yet been scheduled. On 27/10/2014 EEC received a notice from the Inland Revenue Agency of Piacenza for a new assessment in relation to the official audit report mentioned above referring to 2006. Unlike the previous two notices, this assessment is related only to VAT. No irregularity was reported with respect to IRES. The counts contained in the notices are not consistent with the documentation related to previous periods. This change in counts by the Inland Revenue Agency renders their position weaker. Based on these considerations made by the attorneys appointed to handle the matter it was not deemed necessary to set up additional special provisions.

Concerning the notices of assessment received by Exprivia SpA from the Inland Revenue Agency of Bari in relation to 2005 (IRES and IRAP) and 2006 (IRES), as a result of the final judgement issued by the Regional Tax Commission of Bari the remaining risk provision of euro 486,945 was brought to zero.

With respect to the official audit report made in 2014 by the Finance Police against Exprivia Healthcare IT Srl, pending the appropriate action by the company as declared during the tax audit, as things stand, the company does not believe that it should make any provisions in the financial statements pending the assessments to be made by the inland revenue agency.

The ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ staff ƌisks͟ of Euro 287,713 refers to amounts set aside for current disputes with former employees.

The ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ gƌaŶt ƌisks͟ was reclassified to reverse receivables for research project grants.

The ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ otheƌ ƌisks͟ amounting to euro 313,558 is mainly for:

  • Euro 120,551 set aside by the company Exprivia Telco & Media for payment received due to the transfer of the receivable due from a customer who is now insolvent; the provision is equal to 50% of the amount for which the revocation action is being exercised, net of VAT.
  • Euro 61,400 against the risk for lack of provisions by the company Exprivia Projects Srl.

17 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS

Employee Severance Indemnity Fund

The amounts for the employee severance indemnity accrued after 31 December 2006 were paid to the INPS pension fund and union pension funds. The remaining employee severance indemnity fund amounted to euro 10,230,522 compared with euro 8,714,511 as at 31 December 2013. The fund is net of amounts deposited. An actuarial assessment was performed on the liability in accordance with IAS 19 using the retrospective method, which requires recognition of actuarial gains/losses in the comprehensive income statement. The cost regarding service and the interest payable concerning the "time value" component in the actuarial calculations are still recognised in the income statement.

The table below shows the primary actuarial and financial assumptions used in the calculation:

Description 31/12/2014 31/12/2013
Discount rate 1.50% 3.80%
Inflation rate 1.50% 2.00%
Annual rate of wage growth 3.00% 3.00%
Mortality Tav ISTAT 2011 Tav ISTAT 2004
Inability Tav. INAIL Tav. INAIL
Turn-over 7.25% 7.25%
Probability advance 2.50% 2.50%
Amount% of the severance pay in advance 70.00% 70.00%

Some of the general criteria used for the projections are described below. In order to meet the need to make assessments based on all the information available a technical procedure was used known in the actuarial literature as MAGIS (actuarial method of years in operation on an individual basis and by means of random drawings).

This method is a Monte Carlo-based stochastic simulation that makes it possible to develop projections of amounts payable for each employee while taking into account the demographic and salary data of each position without making aggregations and without introducing average values.

To make the procedure possible, drawings are made for each employee year by year to determine elimination by death, invalidity and incapacity due to resignation or termination.

Reliability is ensured by replicating the procedure a certain number of times until the results are stable.

The calculations were made by the number of years necessary for all the workers currently employed are no longer in service.

The projections were made on a closed group, meaning no new recruits were included.

In accordance with IAS 19, actuarial valuations were carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method. This method makes it possible to calculate employee severance indemnities accrued at a certain date based on actuarial assumptions, distributing the charge for all remaining years workers are employed. It is no longer an expense to be paid if the company winds up its business at the balance sheet date, but gradually provisioning the charge according to the remaining service period of employees.

The method makes it possible to calculate certain demographic and financial variables at the date of assessment, especially charges relating to service already rendered by employees represented by the DBO – Defined Benefit Obligation (also called Past Service Liability). It is obtained by calculating the present value of amounts due to the worker (severance indemnities) arising from seniority gained at the date of assessment.

It should be noted that the calculations include the 11% annual tax that weighs on the revaluation of employee severance indemnities provisions.

18 - DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES

The item ͞pƌoǀisioŶ foƌ defeƌƌed tadžes͟ amounted to Euro 991,905 compared to Euro 1,262,729 as at 31 December 2013, and refers to allocations for temporary changes considered recoverable in subsequent financial years.

Total (20,190)

The derivative products were subscribed by the Holding Company Exprivia with the credit institutions Unicredit and BNL and both of the financial instruments are linked to two distinct loans at variable interest rate (Euribor).

For the derivative with BNL, linked to a variable interest rate loan, the nature of the instrument did not enable it to be considered as a hedging instrument in accordance with IAS 39.

For the Unicredit derivative product the intrinsic value of the derivative is nil due to the high strike rate of the derivative agreement. The entire time value should be distinct in the income statement. Since the intrinsic value is nil it can be considered useless to perform a prospectd effectiveness test, which would not require carrying in the income statement when exceeded due to the absence of value of the options component that IAS 39 requires recognising in the income statement (i.e., the intrinsic value).

At 31 December 2014 the basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to Euro 0.0688.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING PURSUANT TO ART. 153 OF ITALIAN LEGISLATIVE DECREE 58/98 ("T.U.F.") AND ART. 2429 OF ITALIAN CIVIL CODE

Dear Shareholders,

During the financial year ending at 31 December 2014 the Board of Statutory Auditors of Exprivia S.p.A. ("Company") conducted supervisory activities required by law, also taking into consideration CONSOB instructions on company audits and activities exercised by the Board of Statutory Auditors and "Standards for the Board of Statutory Auditors of companies listed on regulated capital markets" provided by the Italian National Board of Chartered Accountants.

During the financial year ending at 31 December 2014, the Board of Statutory Auditors supervised (i) compliance with the law and articles of association, (ii) compliance with the standards of correct administration, (iii) the adequacy of the company's organisation structure under its competence, the internal control system and the administrative/accounting system as well as the accuracy of the latter in correctly representing management events, (iv) procedures for actual implementation of the governance rules under the Corporate Governance Code provided by the Committee for Corporate Governance of listed companies and adopted by the Company and (v) the adequacy of rules issued to subsidiaries pursuant to art. 114(2), T.U.F.

In addition, in its role as Committee for internal control and audit pursuant to art. 19 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010, the Board of Statutory Auditors also supervised (i) the financial disclosure process, (ii) the efficiency of systems for internal control, internal audit and risk management, (iii) independent audits of annual accounts and consolidated accounts, (iv) the independence of the external auditor.

In particular, the following is pointed out:

1. The Board supervised significant financial transactions conducted by the Company by participating in meetings held by the board of directors and shareholders' meetings and by communicating with senior management. The transactions were found to be compliant with the law and the articles of association.

2. In 2014, the Board did not find any irregular and/or unusual transactions with companies in the Group, third parties or associated parties.

The ordinary transactions conducted with companies in the Group and related parties, which are described in the Directors' Report and the Explanatory Notes for further details, are consistent with the interests of the Company. Information on the events characterising operations and business outlook is provided in an extensive and clear manner.

3. Concerning the transactions mentioned above (point 2), the Board considers adequate the information provided in the Directors' Report and Explanatory Notes.

4. The reports by the new independent auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. (hereafter also "Independent Auditor") on the year-end financial statements and consolidated financial statements, issued on 31 March 2015 in accordance with articles 14 and 16 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010, do not mention any irregularities and/or non-conformities, and they certify that the year-end financial statements and consolidated financial statements were drafted clearly and in compliance with the regulatory rules on their preparation, and they provide an accurate and truthful representation of the financial standing, result and cash flows of the Company and Group for the financial year ending 31.12.2014. The reports mentioned above also certify that the directors' report and disclosures required under art. 123-bis, paragraph 1, letters c), d), f), l), and m) and paragraph 2, letter b) of T.U.F. provided in the corporate governance and ownership report are consistent with the year-end financial statements and consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed the statement issued by the Independent Auditor, in accordance with art. 17 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010, on 25 March 2015, in which the auditor (i) certified that no circumstances were found that would jeopardise their independence or lead to incompatibility as provided under articles 10 and 17 of Italian Legislative Decree 39/2010 and related implementation provisions, (ii) stated that no services were provided to the Company by the independent auditor or its group, other than those related to audits.

5. No reports provided under art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code were submitted during the year.

6. The Board is not aware of any notices of complaint or objection to be mentioned in this report.

7-8. In 2014, the Company disbursed € 67,000.00 to PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. for audit services, whereas the subsidiaries of Exprivia S.p.A. disbursed € 81,500.00 to PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. for audit services.

In view of the above and the statement of independence and absence of incompatibility issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A., the Board of Statutory Auditors considers the external auditor to be adequately independent.

9. In 2014, the Board of Statutory Auditors issued its opinions and statements required by law.

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Statutory Auditors also ensured:

a) The correct application of policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors to assess the independence of its members in accordance with the law and the Corporate Governance Code;

b) The continuity of requirements for Statutory Auditors to be considered independent - already ensured prior to their appointment - in accordance with the law and the Corporate Governance Code.

Each member of the Board also states their compliance with the limit on the number of offices they can hold in accordance with art. 148-bis(1) TUF. The members of the Board of Statutory Auditors agree on the need to notify the Board of Directors and other members of the Board of Statutory Auditors in the event of any transactions that might be for personal interest or for the interest of others.

10. In 2014, the company's Board of Directors held eleven meetings, the Control and Risk Committee held three meetings and the Remuneration Committee held three meetings. In the same year, the Board of Statutory Auditors held eleven meetings. The Board also participated in all the board meetings and shareholders' meetings held during the year.

The Board of Statutory Auditors, represented by the Chairman, also participated in meetings held by the Control and Risk Committee.

11. The Board of Statutory Auditors acquired information on the matters within its competence and supervised compliance with the standards of correct administration and adequacy of the Company's administrative structure for the purpose of complying with such standards.

In particular, concerning the Board of Directors' decision-making processes, the Board of Statutory Auditors ensured the decisions made by the Directors comply with the law and the articles of association and ensured that related resolutions did not conflict with the interests of the Company.

Thus, the Board considers that the standards of correct administration were complied with.

12. The Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the Company's organisation structure. In light of the supervisory activities performed and to the extent of its competence, the Board considers the structure to be adequate on the whole.

13. The Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the Company's internal control system by interacting and coordinating with the Control and Risk Committee, the head of Internal Audit, the Chief Executive Officer in his position as Officer in charge of the internal control and risk management system and with the Supervisory Body.

In addition, in its role as Committee for internal control and audit pursuant to art. 19 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010, the Board of Statutory Auditors also acknowledge that the report issued by the Independent Auditor pursuant to art. 19 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010 did not mention any significant deficiencies in the internal control system with respect to financial disclosures.

The board ensured a constant flow of information and liaised with the Independent Auditor and with the Control and Risk Committee.

Furthermore, the Board of Statutory Auditors supervised transactions made by the Company with associated parties, ensuring the implementation and correct application of the procedure approved by the Board of Directors following the issue of CONSOB Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010.

In light of the supervisory activities performed and also taking into consideration the assessment of adequacy, effectiveness and actual functioning of the internal control system made by the Control and Risk Committee and by the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors find, to the extent of their competence, that the system is adequate on the whole.

14. The Board of Statutory Auditors supervised the Company's accounting/administration system and its accuracy in correctly representing events in operations by gathering information from the financial reporting officer and the heads of related departments, by reviewing company documentation and by analysing the results of the work performed by the Independent Auditor.

In particular, the Board reports that the Financial Reporting Officer, with the support of the internal audit department, completed for the Company and its key subsidiaries the assessment on the adequacy and actual application of the administration and accounting procedures prescribed under art. 154-bis T.U.F.. This activity made it possible to certify that the financial statements and documents provide a truthful and accurate representation of the Company's financial standing as well as that of the entities included in the scope of consolidation.

It should also be mentioned that the Company started revising its control matrixes and procedures set up in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 262/05.

15. We have no comments to make on the adequacy of information flows from the subsidiaries to ensure the disclosures and notices required by law.

16. During the year the Board of Statutory Auditors met with the independent auditors in order to exchange data and information required under art. 150(3) T.U.F.

At these meetings the Independent Auditor did not report any significant event or irregularity that would need mentioning in this report.

17. The Company adhered to the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies approved by the Corporate Governance Committee and fostered by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

The corporate governance system adopted by the Company is described in detail in the Corporate Governance and Ownership Report for 2014 approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2015.

18. Within the scope of supervisory and control activities performed during the year, there were no signs of reprehensible events, omissions or significant irregularities that would require mentioning in this report.

19. The Board of Directors acknowledge that on 12 March 2015 the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Officer issued the statement prescribed by art. 154-bis(5) of Italian Legislative Decree no. 58/1998, following the model indicated under art. 81-ter of CONSOB Regulation no. 11971/1999.

To their knowledge, the Board found that there were no departures from legal rules when preparing the consolidated and year-end financial statements.

The Board, also considering the results of activities conducted by the audit committee, within the scope of its competence on its general compliance with the law with respect to its presentation and structure and completeness, does not have any reasons to prevent approval of the financial statements as at 31.12.2014 as well as the draft prepared and approved by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2015, and the Board agrees with the latter on how to distribute year-end profit.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES USED IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting standards required the use of estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable with respect to the circumstances and knowledge available as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may depart from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are revised constantly. The effects of revised estimates are recognised in the income statement for the period in which the estimates are revised. The estimates mainly concern: amounts allocated to provisions for bad or doubtful debts, made according to the expected sale value of related assets; amounts allocated to provisions for risks, made according to the reasonable estimate of the amount of the potential liability, also with respect to any demands from the counterparty; amounts allocated for employee benefits, recognised according to actuarial valuations; amortisation/depreciation of tangible and intangible assets, recognised according to their remaining useful life and their recoverable value; income taxes, determined according to the best estimate of the rate expected for the entire financial year; development costs, initial capitalisation for which is based on the technical and financial feasibility of the project (future cash flow projections are made for each project). The Company conducts impairment tests on goodwill at least once per year. For such tests an estimate is made on the value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill pertains. This estimate requires a projection of future cash flows and the estimate of the discount rate after tax, which reflects the market conditions at the date of the assessment.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS APPLICABLE FROM 1 JANUARY 2014

IFR"ϭϬ ͞CoŶsolidated FiŶaŶĐial "tateŵeŶts͟

On 12 May 2011 IASB issued IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, which replaces SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities and parts of IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements renamed to Separate Financial Statements. It provides accounting requirements for subsidiaries in separate financial statements. The new standard moves from existing standards and according to the new definition of control it determines the crucial factors for the purpose of consolidating a company in the paƌeŶt ĐoŵpaŶLJ's fiŶaŶĐial stateŵeŶts. It also provides guidance for determining the existence of control where it is difficult to verify (de facto control, potential votes, special purpose entities, etc.). The standard has been applicable retrospectively since January 1, 2014. The group re-examined its relations of control over its investee entities as at 1 January 2014 without finding any effect from adopting the new standard.

IFR" ϭϭ ͞JoiŶt ArraŶgeŵeŶts͟ replaĐiŶg IA" ϯϭ

On 12 May 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, which replaces IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 - Jointly Controlled Entities - non monetary contributions by venturers. The new standard provides criteria for determining joint arrangements based on rights and obligations deriving from agreements rather than on their legal form, and it establishes the equity method as the only one for recognition of investments in joint ventures. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no effect on the Company.

IFR" ϭϮ ͞DisĐlosure of IŶterests iŶ Other EŶtities͟

On 12 May 2011 the IASB issued IFRS 12 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, which is a new and complete standard on additional information to disclose for any type of investment, including those in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associated entities, special purpose entities and other non-consolidated vehicle companies. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the Company.

On issue of IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, the previous IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, renamed Separate Financial Statements was amended by changing its name and by eliminating all provisions related to consolidated financial statements (the other provisions remain valid). As a result of this change the standard now indicates only criteria for measurement and recognition as well as disclosures to provide in the separate financial statements for subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.

IA" ϯϮ ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstruŵeŶts͟

On 16 December 2011 the IASB issued certain amendments to IAS 32 - Financial instruments: Presentation in order to clarify the application of certain criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities presented in IAS 32. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the Company.

IA" ϯ9 ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstruŵeŶts: ReĐogŶitioŶ aŶd MeasureŵeŶt

On 27 June 2013 the IASB issued certain minor amendments to IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, eŶtitled ͞NoǀatioŶ of Deƌiǀatiǀes aŶd CoŶtiŶuatioŶ of Hedge AĐĐouŶtiŶg͟. The changes allow the continuation of hedge accounting when a derivative financial instrument, designated as a hedging instrument, is novated as a result of laws or regulations for the purpose of replacing the original counterparty to ensure the obligation is fulfilled and if certain conditions are met. The same amendment is also included in IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the Company.

IA" ϯϲ ͞ReĐoveraďle AŵouŶt DisĐlosures for NoŶ-FiŶaŶĐial Assets͟

On 29 May 2013, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 36 - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets in order to clarify information to disclose on the recoverable value of impaired assets if the amount is based on fair value net of sales costs. The standard has been applicable retrospectively since 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the Company.

IFRIC Ϯϭ ͞Levies͟ - IA" ϯϳ ͞ProvisioŶs, CoŶtiŶgeŶt Liaďilities aŶd CoŶtiŶgeŶt Assets͟

On 20 May 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21 - Levies, interpretation of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. IFRIC 21 provides clarification on when an entity must recognise a liability

for the payment of government levies, with the exception of those already regulated by other standards (e.g., IAS 12 - Income Taxes). IAS 37 establishes criteria for recognising a liability, one of which when a company has a current obligation resulting from past events (known as a binding fact). The interpretation clarifies that the binding fact, which gives rise to a liability for the payment of a levy, is described in the law that requires for the payment itself. IFRIC 21 is operative for periods beginning on 1 January 2014. Adoption of the new standard had no significant effects on the Company.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET APPLICABLE ON 01 JANUARY 2014

At the date of these financial statements, the competent bodies of the European Union have not yet concluded the approval process needed to adopt the following accounting standards and amendments:

On 21 November 2013 the IASB issued certain minor amendments to IAS 19 – Employee Benefits entitled ͞DefiŶed BeŶefit PlaŶs: EŵploLJee CoŶtƌiďutioŶs͟. These amendments simplify accounting of contributions to defined benefit plans made by employees or third parties in specific cases. The amendments are retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. Early adoption is allowed.

On 12 December 2013, the IASB issued a group of amendments to IFRSs (Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2010-2013 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2011-2013 Cycle). Among others, the most significant issues dealt with in the amendments are: definition of vesting conditions in IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, disclosures on estimates and opinions used in grouping operating segments in IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, identification and disclosure of transactions with a related party when a service entity provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity in IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, exclusion from application scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, of all types of joint arrangements (as defined in IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements), and certain clarifications on the exceptions to the application of IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

On 6 May 2014, the IASB issued certain amendments to IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements: Accounting for the acquisition of interests in joint operations, providing clarifications on accounting for the acquisition of interests in joint operations that constitute a business. The amendments are retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. Early adoption is allowed.

IŶ MaLJ ϮϬϭϰ the IA"B aŶd FA"B joiŶtlLJ puďlished IFR" ϭϱ ͞ReǀeŶue fƌoŵ CoŶtƌaĐts ǁith Custoŵeƌs͟. This standard intends to improve disclosure of revenues and their comparison between different annual reports. The new standard is retrospectively applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Early adoption is allowed.

On 12 May 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1ϲ aŶd IA" ϯϴ ͞ClaƌifiĐatioŶ of AĐĐeptaďle Methods of DepƌeĐiatioŶ aŶd AŵoƌtisatioŶ͟, iŶ ǁhiĐh the adoptioŶ of ƌeǀeŶue-based methods of depreciation and amortisation are considered inappropriate. For intangible assets only, the clarification introduces a presumption that can be overcome only under one of the following circumstances: (i) the right of use for an intangible asset is correlated to the achievement of a predetermined revenue threshold; or (ii) when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. The amendments are applicable for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2016.

On 24 July 2014, the IASB finished the draft of the accounting standard on financial instruments and issued the Đoŵplete ǀeƌsioŶ of IFR" ϵ ͞FiŶaŶĐial IŶstƌuŵeŶts͟. In particular, the new provisions of IFRS 9: (i) amend the classification and measurement model for financial assets; (ii) introduce a new model for impairment of financial assets that takes into consideration expected credit losses; and (iii) amend regulations on hedge accounting. The amendments to IFRS 9 are applicable for reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2018.

The Company will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations according to the date of application required for each, and it will assess the potential impact when they are approved by the European Union.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are recognised according to the purchase accounting method pursuant to IFRS 3. According to this method, the cost of a business combination is measured at fair value, calculated as the sum of the fair value of assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Company at the date of acquisition and the equity instruments issued to the seller in exchange for control over the acquired entity. Acquisition-related costs for the transaction are recognised in the income statement when incurred.

The cost of a business combination it compared to the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities found on purchase. Any positive difference between the purchase cost and the amount pertaining to the Company of the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities found on purchase is recognised as goodwill. If the difference is negative it is charged directly to the Income Statement. If only a temporary initial book value of a business combination can be determined the initial value adjustments are carried within twelve months from the date of purchase. Amounts pertaining to third parties are carried according to the fair value of the net assets purchased. If a business combination is made over several phases with subsequent purchase of shares each phase is valued separately using the cost and information on fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of each transaction to determine the amount of any difference. When a subsequent purchase results in obtaining control of an entity the amount previously held is carried again according to the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities determined at the date control is achieved. Any amounts payable by the buyer are recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition. Changes in the fair value of amounts payable and classed as assets or liabilities, as a financial instrument under IAS 39, are recognised in the Income Statement or in the schedule containing the other components of the comprehensive income statement. When the amount does not fall under IAS 39 it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. If the potential amount is classified under net equity its value is not recalculated and its subsequent regulation is recognised under net equity. Goodwill is initially recognised at cost, i.e., the excess of the sum of the amount paid and the amount carried for minority interests with respect to the net assets acquired and liabilities undertaken by the Company. If the aŵouŶt is loǁeƌ thaŶ the faiƌ ǀalue of the aĐƋuiƌed iŶǀestee ĐoŵpaŶLJ's Ŷet assets the difference is carried in the Income Statement.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND VALUATION POLICIES

The accounting standards adopted for drawing up the consolidated financial statements are the same as those adopted for drawing up the separate financial statements of the Company for the financial year which closed as at 31 December 2013.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND MACHINERY

Property, plant and machinery are recognised at the cost of acquisition or production. The cost of acquisition or production is the price paid to acquire or build the business and any other cost incurred to prepare the asset for use. The price paid to acquire or produce the asset is the cash price equivalent at the time of accounting; therefore, if payment is deferred beyond normal credit extension terms, the difference with respect to the equivalent cash price is recorded as interest for the extension period. The financial charges incurred for the acquisition or production of the asset are never capitalised. The capitalisation of costs relating to the expansion, modernisation or improvement of leased assets is done only in so far as they satisfy the requirements for being classified as an asset or part of an asset.

After initial recognition, plant, machinery and other assets are entered at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment. The depreciated value of each significant component of a tangible asset, with a different useful life, is amortised by the straight-line method over the expected period of use. Considering the homogeneity of the assets included in the individual categories of the financial statements, it is assumed that the useful life per category of assets is the following (with the exception of certain significant cases):

Land indefinite useful life
Buildings 33 years
Plant and Machinery 4 – 7 years
Office Furnishings and Electronic Equipment 5 – 8 years
Equipment and Vehicles 4 - 7 years

Land, including pertaining to buildings, is accounted for separately and not depreciated as it is a component with indefinite useful life.

The amortisation criteria used, the useful life and residual value are reviewed at the end of each accounting period and, if necessary, redefined to take into account any significant changes.

Industrial buildings are carried at a value periodically reassessed at market value less depreciation and impairment (revaluation model). As set forth by IAS 16, the company measures fair value and then remeasures it only when there is a significant difference with respect to the book value.

Costs that can be capitalised for improvements to leased assets are attributed to the classes of fixed assets to which they refer and depreciated for the shorter time between the remaining period on the lease agreement and the remaining useful life of the asset to which the improvement was made.

The book value of property, plant and machinery is maintained in the financial statements to the extent that such value can be recovered through use. If significant factors are noticed, which include the likelihood of recovering the net carrying amount, an impairment test is performed to determine any loss of value. A reversal is applied if the conditions at the basis of the impairment no longer apply.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is recognised based on the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3, as described in the section on business combinations, is not amortised but is subject to impairment tests at least once a year. To this end these values are allocated to one or more cash generating units starting on the acquisition date or by the end of the financial year.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets, which include development costs, patent rights and use of intellectual property, concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights and software, are recognised as assets only if all the conditions laid down in IAS 38 are met (cost can be measured reliably, technical feasibility of product, the asset can be identified or separated, the Company controls the asset, or it has the power receive its future economic benefit, expected volume and price indicate that the costs incurred during development will generate future economic benefit) and valued at cost minus accumulated amortisation, determined on a straight-line basis over the period of expected use, on average, except for specific cases of 3-5 years, and any impairment. The amortisation criteria used, the useful life and residual value are reviewed at the end of each accounting period and, if necessary, redefined to take into account any significant changes.

Costs for development projeĐts aƌe Đapitalised uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞Đosts foƌ Đapitalised iŶteƌŶal pƌojeĐts͟ oŶlLJ when the development phase has ended and the product developed begins to generate economic benefit. They are subject to amortisation. During the period in which costs are incurred for capitalised internal development projects they are floated in the Income Statement as increases in fixed assets for internal ǁoƌk aŶd Đlassed uŶdeƌ ͞Đosts foƌ Đapitalised iŶteƌŶal pƌojeĐts͟.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

Equity investments are valued at purchase cost not including any impairment. If the reasons for applying write-downs no longer exist then the investments are revalued in the amount of the write-down itself.

The option to purchase a part of minority interests or the option to sell minority interests is taken into consideration when determining whether control has been acquired. Additionally, if control is acquired the amounts related to minority call options are considered financial liabilities as provided for under IAS 32.

LEASING

Machinery owned through financial leasing contracts, for which the Company has substantially assumed the risks and benefits which would arise from ownership, are recognised as assets on the basis of the criteria indicated by IAS 17. They are depreciated according to estimated useful life.

Leasing agreements where the lessor substantially keeps all risks and benefits of ownership are considered as operating leasing. The costs for leasing are carried in consistent amounts in the Income Statement for the duration of the agreement.

The amount payable to the lessor is included in the other financial liabilities.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are reported in the presence of a formal resolution and are accounted for as income in the financial year when related costs are incurred.

Grants received against specific assets whose value is carried under fixed assets are entered in the income statement in relation to the period of amortisation/depreciation for the assets to which they refer.

Advances received for terminated projects, for which a closing report has yet to be issued, have been classified as deductions from receivables. For ongoing projects, advances remain accounted for under liabilities.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Impairment occurs every time the book value of an asset is greater than its recoverable value. The existence of any indicators suggesting impairment is checked at every balance sheet date. If those indicators are found the recoverable value of the asset is estimated (impairment test) and a write-down is recognised where necessary. Regardless of the existence of the indicators, an impairment test is carried out at least once a year for the assets not yet available for use and for goodwill.

The recoverable value of an asset is the greater between its fair value, net of sale costs, and its use value. The recoverable value is calculated with reference to a single asset, unless it is unable to generate incoming cash flow from continued use notably independent of the incoming cash flows generated by other assets or groups of assets, in which case the test is carried out for the smallest unit generating independent flows which include the asset in question (Cash Generating Unit).

When the write-down has no reason to be maintained, the book value of the asset (or cash generating unit), except for goodwill, is increased to the new value obtained from its estimated recovery value, in any case not over the net carrying amount that the assets would have had if the write-down due to impairment had not been made. The restored value is charged to the income statement, unless the asset is measured at the re-valued figure; in this case the recovered value is posted under the revaluation reserve.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Investments in other companies constituting financial assets available for sale are measured at fair value, if determinable, and gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are attributed directly to other comprehensive profit/(loss) until they are sold or are impaired; at that time, the Other comprehensive profit/(loss) previously recognised under net equity are recognised in the income statement of the period. Investments in other companies for which the fair value is unavailable are carried at cost, less any impairment.

Dividends received from these companies are included under the item financial income and charges and other investments.

All the other financial assets are classified into the following categories:

  • Financial assets at fair value offset in the Income Statement: financial assets mainly acquired with the intention of making a profit from short-term price fluctuations (a period not longer than three months) or designated as such from the start;
  • Financial assets held to maturity: investments in financial assets with preset maturity and fixed payments or determinable payments that the Group has the intention and capability to maintain through to maturity;
  • Loans and other financial receivables: financial assets with payments that are fixed or can be decided, not listed on an active market and different from those originally classified as financial assets at fair value and offset in the income statement or as financial assets available for sale;
  • Financial assets available for sale: financial assets other than those in the above categories or those designated as such from the start.

The Company classifies financial assets at the date of acquisition and accounts for them at fair value at the date of acquisition.

After initial recognition, the financial assets at fair value offset in the income statement and assets available foƌ sale ;ǁheƌe theƌe is Ŷo ͞aĐtiǀe͟ ŵaƌketͿ aƌe ŵeasuƌed at faiƌ ǀalue, fiŶaŶĐial assets held to ŵatuƌitLJ aŶd as well as loans and other financial receivables are valued at amortised cost.

Profit and loss arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value offset in the income statement is recognised in the income statement of financial year in which they occur. Unrealised profit and loss arising from changes in the fair value of assets classified as available for sale are carried under net equity.

The fair value of financial assets is determined on the basis of their market prices or by using financial models. The fair value of unlisted financial assets is measured using special assessment techniques adapted to the specific context of the Company. Financial assets for which the current value cannot be determined in a reliable manner are accounted for at a lower cost due to impairment.

The existence of any impairment indicators is checked at each balance sheet date. Write-downs in the income statement and under net equity reflect the valuation policies for financial assets. The impairment previously accounted for is eliminated whenever the circumstances leading to the write-down no longer apply, with the exception of assets valued at cost.

Loans, payables and other financial and/or trade liabilities with preset or definable maturity are initially carried at their fair value, not including costs incurred for assuming the amounts payable. The valuation policy applied following initial recognition is the amortisation cost using the effective interest rate method. Long-term loans without an interest rate are accounted for by discounting future cash flows at the market rate if the increase in amounts is due to the passing of time. Amounts for interest are then carried in the iŶĐoŵe stateŵeŶt uŶdeƌ the iteŵ ͞Ŷet fiŶaŶĐial iŶĐoŵe aŶd Đhaƌges". Financial payables are cancelled when the obligation underlying the payable is extinguished, voided or settled.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are recognised at the lesser value between the purchase price, determined in accordance with the specific cost, and the net sales price. The cost is the fair value of the price paid and any other cost directly attributable with the exception of financial charges. The net sales value is the estimated sales price net of costs for completion and sales. Any write-downs are eliminated in subsequent financial years if the reasons for the write-down no longer apply.

CONTRACT WORK IN PROGRESS

Work in progress is recognised according to the state of progress or percentage of completion so that costs, revenue and margin are carried according to the state of progress determined by referring to the ratio between costs incurred at the date of valuation and total expected cost. The valuation reflects the best estimate of programmes carried out at the balance sheet date. The estimates are updated periodically. Any economic effects are accounted for in the financial year in which the updates are made. If completed contract work is expected to result in a loss this is recognised entirely in the financial year in which it is reasonably forecast. Contract work in progress is carried without including any write-down provisions, losses on contract completion, or payments on account and advances for the contract being executed. This analysis is performed on a contract by contract basis. Whenever the difference is positive for work in progress higher than the amount of payments on account then it is classified under assets in the item in question. Whenever this difference is negative the amount is classified under liabilities in the item ͞adǀaŶĐe paLJŵeŶt foƌ ĐoŶtƌaĐt ǁoƌk iŶ pƌogƌess".

CASH AT BANK AND ON HAND

Cash at bank and on hand consists of short-term investments (generally not exceeding three months), easily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. They are carried at fair value.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, liquid assets are made up of cash, demand deposits at banks, short-term, highly liquid financial assets (original maturity not exceeding three months), and overdraft facilities. Current account overdrafts are carried under current financial liabilities.

OWN SHARES

Own Shares

Own shares are reported in reduction of share capital. No profit (loss) is recognised in the Income statement for the acquisition, sale, issue or cancellation of own shares.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Short-term benefits

Short-term benefits for employees are accounted for in the income statement in the period in which the work was performed.

Defined benefit plans

The Company grants its employees benefits under the Employee Severance Indemnity Fund (TFR). The employee severance indemnity accrued as at 31 December 2006 is considered a defined benefit to be accounted for in accordance with IAS 19. These benefits fall under the definition: defined benefit plan determined in existence and amount but uncertain in when payable.

The total amount of the obligation is calculated on a yearly basis by an external actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Actuarial gains and losses are fully accounted for in the related financial year.

Recognition of the changes in actuarial gain/loss is carried amongst the comprehensive income statement components after the revised version of IAS 19 (Employee benefits) was adopted.

Defined contribution plans

The Company takes part in public or private pension plans with defined contributions on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. PaLJŵeŶt of the ĐoŶtƌiďutioŶs fulfils the CoŵpaŶLJ's oďligatioŶ toǁaƌds its employees. Thus, such contributions form an expense for the period in which they are due.

The employee severance indemnity accrued after 31 December 2006 is considered a defined contribution obligation.

Stock options

Share-based payments are measured at fair value on the date they are assigned. This value is charged to the iŶĐoŵe stateŵeŶt aŶd offset uŶdeƌ shaƌeholdeƌs' eƋuitLJ oǀeƌ the eŶtiƌe peƌiod iŶ ǁhiĐh the entitlement accrues. The fair value of the options, calculated on the date of assignment, is measured by using financial mathematical models and taking into consideration the basic terms and conditions under which the entitlement is assigned. The Group plan concluded in 2011 and the related reserve was classified under other provisions.

POTENTIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Potential assets and liabilities of an unlikely (but possible) or remote nature are not recognised in the financial statements; nevertheless, adequate information is given concerning possible potential assets and liabilities.

Whenever there is any financial disbursement relating to the obligation, and it occurs after the normal payment terms and the effect of discounting back is significant, the amount set aside corresponds to the current value of future payments expected to cancel the obligation.

PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

Provisions for risks and charges are probable liabilities of an uncertain amount and/or due date deriving from past events whose fulfilment will entail the use of economic resources. The amounts are only set aside if there is a current, legal or contractual obligation which makes the use of economic resources necessary, provided a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. The amount recognised is the best estimate of the expense to fulfil the obligation as at the balance sheet date. Provisions set aside are reviewed at every balance sheet date and adjusted to ensure they are the best current estimate.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative contracts were recognised according to the designation the derivative instruments (speculative or hedging) and the nature of the risk covered (Fair Value Hedge or Cash Flow Hedge).

For contracts designated as speculative, any changes in fair value are directly recognised in the income statement.

In hedging contracts Fair Value Hedge is accounted for by recognising any changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the instrument hedged.

If it is identified as Cash Flow Hedge, it is accounted for by floating the fair value portion of change of the hedging instrument, which is recognised as effective cover in the net equity, and charging the ineffective portion to the Income statement. The changes recognised directly under net equity are released in the income statement in the same reporting period or periods in which the asset or liability hedged influences the income statement.

ASSET TRANSFERS

The assets transferred by way of factoring transactions, which comply with the requirements established by IAS 39, are derecognised from the balance sheet.

REVENUE AND EXPENSES

Revenues arising from the assignment of assets are recognised when risk is transferred, which usually occurs on despatch, at the fair value of payment received or due while taking into account any discounts.

Revenues arising from the provision of services are defined according to the percentage of completion, determined as the proportion of services performed at the date of reference and the total value of the services remaining to be performed.

Expenses are recognised with the same criteria used to recognise revenue recognition and, in any case, on an accruals basis.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND CHARGES

Payable/receivable interest is recognised as financial income/charges after being checked on an accruals basis.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders hold the right to receive them, in accordance with local legislation.

TAXES

Taxes during the reporting period are defined on the basis of amounts expected to be due according to the tax laws in force.

In addition, deferred taxes and those paid in advance are recognised on the temporary differences between the values carried in the financial statements and the corresponding values recognised for tax purposes, and showing accumulated tax losses or unused tax credits, provided it is probable that the recovery (discharge) reduces (increases) future tax payments with respect to those that would have occurred if that recovery (discharge) had not had any tax effect. The tax effects of transactions or other events are recognised in the income statement or directly under net equity using the same methods used to recognise transactions or events that result in taxation.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Transactions in foreign currency are converted into euro at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses on exchanges arising from liquidation related to these transactions and the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities into foreign currency are recognised in the income statement.

SEGMENT REPORTING

In accordance with the qualitative and quantitative factors provided by IFRS 8, the Company identified the following operating segments:

  • Industry & Aerospace
  • Energy
  • Utilities
  • Public Administration

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Exprivia SpA is exposed to the following financial risks:

INTEREST RATE RISK

Over the years the Company has obtained various loans including several medium-long term at a fixed rate and others at a facilitated rate, the latter relating to funded research and development projects. Concerning variable rate loans, where considered necessary the Company stipulates interest rate swap agreements or cap agreements to hedge the risk of fluctuating interest rates.

Changes in interest rates during the financial year did not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

CREDIT RISK

The Company does not have significant concentrations of credit risk except for work carried out in the Public Administration sector, where delays are recorded mainly due to the payment policies adopted by public bodies. They often do not respect the conditions set forth in contracts but, nevertheless, they do not lead to the risk of bad debts.

The Company also manages this risk by selecting counterparts considered to be solvent by the market and with high credit standing.

All amounts receivable are periodically assessed for each individual customer, and they are written down when they are considered impaired. Risk for the Company is mainly related to trade receivables.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent management of liquidity risk is pursued by planning cash flows, financing needs and the liquidity of the Company to ensure effective management of financial resources by managing any surplus liquidity, and by opening credit lines where necessary, including short-term ones.

As a result of this management, while taking into account liquidity from loans and credit lines already in place and cash flows the Company is able to generate, risks related to liquidity (at least in the short term) are considered insignificant.

EXCHANGE RATE RISK

Since the majority of operations conducted by the Company is in the euro area there is limited exposure to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions that are not in the usual currency (euro). Fluctuating exchange rates during the financial year did not have a significant effect on the Company.

The table below provides a reconciliation between financial assets and liabilities included in the schedule for the Company balance sheet and classes of financial assets and liabilities provided by IFRS 7 (amounts in millions of euro):

The financial instruments outlined above were valued at book value as that is considered nearest to the fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy Measurement

Concerning financial instruments carried in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 7 requires that these values be classified according to a hierarchy reflecting the significance of input used in determining fair value. There are three levels as follows:

  • Level 1 quoted prices on an active market for similar assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 inputs other than the quoted prices in level 1, which are directly observable (prices) or indirectly observable on the market;
  • Level 3 inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The table below shows movement in the reporting period:

The increase in ͞laŶd͟, amounting to euro 182,813, is attributable to the land at the head office in Via Giovanni Agnelli in Molfetta.

The increase of euro 5,005,609 in the item ͞ďuildiŶgs͟ is mainly due to:

  • euro 3,869,349 in costs incurred to build the Molfetta building in Via Giovanni Agnelli;
  • euro 1,136,260 in costs incurred to renovate the Molfetta buildings in Via Adriano Olivetti 11.

The increase in the item ͞others͟, equal to euro 1,108,706, is mainly due to the purchases of electronic office equipment (euro 856,937), utility systems (euro 75,051), furniture and furnishings (euro 65.344) and leased assets (euro 107,498).

The decrease in the item ͞ǁoƌk iŶ pƌogƌess͟ is due to the reclassification of costs (incurred in previous financial years to increase the value of buildings) after the work was concluded and the buildings became operational.

The net book value of leased assets came to Euro 577,361 and relates to electronic office equipment (Euro 107,211), furniture and furnishings (Euro 453,926), vehicles (Euro 7,663) and telephone systems (Euro 8,561). It should also be noted that future payments within one year amount to euro 265,991, while those due in one to five years amount to euro 212,404.

2- GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS WITH AN INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE

The balance of goodwill as at 31 December 2014 amounted to euro 12,681,281 compared with euro 26,423,539 at 31 December 2013. The change (euro 13,742,258) is due to the transfer of the banking and finance business unit to the company Exprivia Digital Financial Solution S.r.l. and the healthcare unit to the company Exprivia Healthcare It Srl.

INFORMATION RELATED TO IMPAIRMENT TESTS PERFORMED ON GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS WITH AN INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE: IMPAIRMENT TEST

Scope

Accounting standard IAS 36 requires that impairment tests should be performed on tangible and intangible assets in the presence of indicators which suggest that this problem could exist.

In the case of goodwill, as well as all other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, such impairment tests should be performed on a yearly basis or more frequently in the case of special negative events that might result in impairment.

Identification of CGU (Cash Generating Unit) and Allocation of Goodwill

Not representing goodwill, according to international accounting standards, an asset that is unable to generate cash flow independently from other assets or groups of assets cannot be tested for impairment separately from other related assets.

For this purpose goodwill is allocated to a CGU or a group of CGUs in compliance with the maximum aggregation consistent with the notion of operating segment referred to in IFRS 8.

Concerning the Company, goodwill was allocated to CGUs as follows:

  • goodwill arising from business combinations through which assets were acquired and assigned to specific CGUs from an operational standpoint was allocated to the respective CGUs.
  • Goodwill arising from business combinations, through which assets were acquired and to date do not refer to specific CGUs as they were assigned to different CGUs, was attributed to different CGUs in proportion to the sales volumes they generated in the financial year when the allocation was first made.
  • Goodwill allocated as above was reallocated as a result of internal reorganisation in line with the same allocation criteria described above.

Impairment Test Process and Assessment System

The recoverability of the amount of goodwill carried in the financial statements is checked by comparing the book value allocated to each CGU and the recoverable amount in the definition of value of use. At the date of analysis, the latter is identified as the current value of future cash flow expected to be generated by the CGUs. The "DCF - Discounted Cash Flow" model was used in determining the value of use. The DCF discounts estimated future cash flow by applying an appropriate discount rate.

The WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) used to discount cash flows was equal to 6.8% and was determined using the following parameters:

  • Cost of KE risk capital equal to 8.61% calculated according to:
    • o risk-free rate of 3% equal to the average rate in 2014 of ten-year BTP with implicit country risk ;souƌĐe: TƌeasuƌLJ DepaƌtŵeŶt MiŶistƌLJ of the EĐoŶoŵLJ aŶd FiŶaŶĐe ͞PƌiŵaƌLJ IŶteƌest Rates͟Ϳ
    • o Specific beta coefficient for the Group equal to 1.5 (source: Banca Akros Analyst Coverage of 9.1.2014) cleared from financial risk (unlevered beta equal to 0.98)
    • o 5.7% market risk premium (source: survey on market risk premiums used in 51 countries in 2013 P. Fernandez, J. Aguirreamalloa and P. Linares)
  • Cost of debt equal to 6%

Debt/Equity ratio equal to 0.72 calculated according to the ratio between the net financial position and average stock market capitalisation in the last 12 months.

Identification of Cash Flow

For the purpose of the projections required by IAS 36, strict reference was made to the current condition of use of each CGU regardless of the cash flow from any investment plans and extraordinary transactions that may constitute a "break" from normal company operations.

The operating cash flow projections for the period of five years used for the purpose of assessing the value derive from economic-financial forecasts for 2015-2020, the assumptions underlying adopted scenarios and flows achieved, are submitted to the Board of Directors prior to approving the impairment test.

The end value was calculated as the current value of perpetual performance obtained capitalising the cash flow generated in the last analytical forecast period normalised through a 20% reduction at a 2% G growth factor.

Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis was carried out on the outcome of impairment tests assuming the following change in key parameters:

  • A 1% increase in the weighted average cost of capital;
  • A deĐƌease iŶ the gƌoǁth ƌate ͞G͟ fƌoŵ Ϯ% to ϭ%;

No impairment was detected by the sensitivity analysis.

The tests performed did not show any impairment that should be reported in the financial statements.

The investments were subjected to impairment tests where impairment indicators were detected. The impairment test was performed applying the method indicated above for goodwill under note 2. No impairment was detected.

The decrease relating to ProSap SL (euro 1,522,796) is due to the failure to achieve the earn-out objectives provided in the acquisition agreement with cancellation of the debt as a result of agreements reached with minority shareholders.

16 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS

Employee Severance Indemnity Fund

The amounts for the employee severance indemnity accrued after 31 December 2006 were paid to the INPS pension fund and union pension funds. The employee severance indemnity as at 31 December 2014 amounted to euro 3,431,924 compared with euro 4,433,842 as at 31 December 2013. The amount assigned as a result of the transfer of the business units to subsidiaries amounted to euro 1,329,985.

The fund is net of amounts deposited. An actuarial assessment was performed on the liability in accordance with IAS 19 using the retrospective method, which requires recognition of actuarial gains/losses in the comprehensive income statement. The cost regarding service and the interest payable concerning the "time value" component in the actuarial calculations are still recognised in the income statement.

The table below shows the primary actuarial and financial assumptions used in the calculation:

Description 31/12/2014 31/12/2013
Discount rate 1.50% 3.80%
Inflation rate 1.50% 2.00%
Annual rate of wage growth 3.00% 3.00%
Mortality Tav ISTAT 2011 Tav ISTAT 2004
Inability Tav. INAIL Tav. INAIL
Turn-over 7.25% 7.25%
Probability advance 2.50% 2.50%
Amount% of the severance pay in advance 70.00% 70.00%

Some of the general criteria used for the projections are described below. In order to meet the need to make assessments based on all the information available a technical procedure was used known in the actuarial literature as MAGIS (actuarial method of years in operation on an individual basis and by means of random drawings).

This method is a Monte Carlo-based stochastic simulation that makes it possible to develop projections of amounts payable for each employee while taking into account the demographic and salary data of each position without making aggregations and without introducing average values.

To make the procedure possible, drawings are made for each employee year by year to determine elimination by death, invalidity and incapacity due to resignation or termination.

Reliability is ensured by replicating the procedure a certain number of times until the results are stable.

The calculations were made by the number of years necessary for all the workers currently employed are no longer in service.

The projections were made on a closed group, meaning no new recruits were included.

In accordance with IAS 19, actuarial valuations were carried out using the Projected Unit Credit Method. This method makes it possible to calculate employee severance indemnities accrued at a certain date based on actuarial assumptions, distributing the charge for all remaining years workers are employed. It is no longer an expense to be paid if the company winds up its business at the balance sheet date, but gradually provisioning the charge according to the remaining service period of employees.

The method makes it possible to calculate certain demographic and financial variables at the date of assessment, especially charges relating to service already rendered by employees represented by the DBO – Defined Benefit Obligation (also called Past Service Liability). It is obtained by calculating the present value of amounts due to the worker (severance indemnities) arising from seniority gained at the date of assessment.

It should be noted that the calculations include the 11% annual tax that weighs on the revaluation of employee severance indemnities provisions.

The rise in amounts payable to the subsidiary Exprivia Digital Financial Solution Srl is mainly due to contract agreements following the transfer of the bank, finance and insurance business unit. The Holding Company maintained ownership of the agreements and in the second half of 2014 it acted as commercial front and received charge backs from the subsidiary for services rendered for the work in question.

TOTAL (20,190)

The derivative products were subscribed with the credit institutions Unicredit and BNL and both of the financial instruments are linked to two distinct loans at variable interest rate (Euribor).

For the derivative with BNL, linked to a variable interest rate loan, the nature of the instrument did not enable it to be considered as a hedging instrument in accordance with IAS 39.

For the Unicredit derivative product the intrinsic value of the derivative is nil due to the high strike rate of the derivative agreement. The entire time value should be distinct in the income statement. Since the intrinsic value is nil it can be considered useless to perform a prospected effectiveness test, which would not require carrying in the income statement when exceeded due to the absence of value of the options component that IAS 39 requires recognising in the income statement (i.e., the intrinsic value).
