DIRECTORS' REPORT ON THE COMPANY AND GROUP RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31ST 2014

INTRODUCTION

The present Directors' Report refers to the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements of Vianini Lavori S.p.A. (hereafter also "the Group") at December 31st 2014, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), approved by the European Commission (hereinafter "IFRS").

The present Report should be read together with the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and the relative Notes, which constitute the Annual Accounts for 2014.

* * * * * * * * * *

MARKET OVERVIEW1

The Vianini Lavori Group operates exclusively as a General Contractor in Italy in the Infrastructure and Transport (motorways, railways and underground rail) and civil construction sectors.

The 2014 general economic figures confirm continued recession. In particular in 2014, for the seventh consecutive year, the construction sector experienced significant crisis, both in private and public construction. Between 2008 and 2014, constructions sector investments have contracted 32% (Euro 64 billion), with public works in particular seeing a drop of 48.1%. Excluding the significant increase (18.5%) of investments to upgrade buildings between 2008 and 2014 generated by the extension of the building restructuring and energy saving tax incentives, the construction market contraction would have been 44.2%. In the first nine months of 2014 a number of positive signs emerged, with residential property unit sales improving 2.2% on the same period of the previous year. In particular, the 9M 2014 figures report an overall 4.1% increase, confirming the positive housing sector figures in the major cities (+6.9% on 9M 2013) and with an improvement also for the municipalities outside the major cities (+2.8% on 9M 2013).

In terms of public works in 2014, we highlight – after years of significant contractions – an increase in the number of published tenders (+30.4% on 2013) and an increase in the average value (+18.3%), even if these rises concern medium/small value works proposed by local bodies. In terms of large infrastructural works, no issues which may cause a reversal of developments in recent years are apparent.

The Vianini Lavori Group closely links the development of operating and financial activities, with a particular focus on maintaining a balanced order book. In particular, in addition to the production

activity carried out through consortium companies, during the years of crisis the Group has invested significantly. In particular, the Group holds major investments in Cementir Holding S.p.A., operating in the cement and ready-mix concrete sector both in Italy and overseas, in Acqua Campania S.p.A., the Campania Region Agency for the management of the aqueduct of Western Campania and Grandi Stazioni S.p.A. (through Eurostazioni S.p.A.), an operating company handling the non-technical activities of the major train stations. The results of these companies are commented upon below. Finally, in relation to financial activities, we highlight the qualified investment in ACEA S.p.A.. (7.3%).

GROUP OPERATIONS

Highlights

The Vianini Lavori Group in 2014 reports an improved result, despite the market and general economic difficulties, confirming the solidity of the business and the diversification of orders in portfolio and of the financial assets held.

Minority interest share - - -

Vianini Lavori Group operating revenues in 2014 amounted to Euro 187.9 million, up 6.6% on 2013 (Euro 176.2 million). The increase in revenues is due to the normal execution of orders in portfolio. 2013 revenues benefitted from extraordinary income related to the recognition of additional charges incurred for works competed in previous years.

In 2014, operating costs increased overall 9.3% due to higher production levels.

EBITDA reports a profit of Euro 5.2 million, decreasing on Euro 9.1 million in 2013.

The Net result of the share of associates reports a profit of Euro 24.9 million (Euro 13.5 million in 2013), principally thanks to the improved result of the Cementir Holding Group; the results of Eurostazioni S.p.A., Acqua Campania S.p.A. and SAT S.p.A. were also positive.

Net Financial income totalled Euro 3.3 million (net financial charges of Euro 6.9 million in 2013) and principally related to dividends received on listed shares totalling Euro 3.6 million. The 2013 result was impacted however by losses from the sale on the market of listed shares.

The Group reports a net profit of Euro 35.4 million (Euro 17.8 million in 2013).

Net Cash Position of the Group

The Net Cash Position of the Group at December 31st 2014 is reported below.

(In Euro thousands) 31/12/2014 31/12/2013
Current financial assets 3,076 3,733
Cash and cash equivalents 46,583 28,771
Current financial liabilities (9,047) (7,663)
Net Cash Position2 40,612 24,841

The net cash position increased approx. Euro 16 million due to the generation of operating cash flows and dividends received on listed shares, net of the dividends distributed by the Parent Company.

Group shareholders' equity

The Group consolidated shareholders' equity increased from Euro 614 million at December 31st 2013 to Euro 659.6 million; the increase of Euro 45.6 million is due to the net profit for the year, the valuation at fair value of investments in equities and the valuation at net equity of the associated companies, following the distribution of the dividend.

Group Key Performance indicators

The balance sheet and income statement indicators are provided below:

2 The Net Cash Position in accordance with CONSOB Recommendation No. 6064293 of July 28th 2006, which is based on the European Securities and Markets Authority – ESMA (ex CESR) recommendation of February 10th 2005, is illustrated in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, to which reference should be made.

2014 2013
ROE (Net result/Net equity)* 5.37 2.91
ROI (EBIT/total assets)* 0.65 1.25
ROS (Ebit /Operating revenues)* 2.70 5.17

Liquidity Ratio (Current assets/Current liabilities) 1.26 1.01
Capital Invested Ratio (Net equity/Non-current assets) 1.04 0.99

* percentage values

The ROE was 5.37% (2.91% in 2013), following an improvement for the result of companies valued at equity and in the financial result. The ROI and ROS ratios compared to the same period in 2013 on the other hand highlight a deteriorated operating performance. The figures at December 31, 2013 benefitted from a number of non-recurring items.

The balance sheet and financial indicators highlight the strong balance sheet and the good capacity to meet short-term commitments through liquid funds and finally a good equilibrium between own funds and fixed assets.

Order portfolio and principal orders in progress

The order portfolio totals Euro 1.14 billion, including orders acquired in 2014 concerning the Catanzaro Metro and the Turin rail warehouse.

Performance of the main investments

Cementir Group Holding

The Vianini Lavori Group holds 25.48% of the Cementir Holding Group, which produces cement and ready-mix concrete, with a presence both in Italy and abroad.

The Cementir Holding Group in 2014 reported operating revenues of Euro 973.05 million, reducing 4.3% on 2013, due to the uneven revenue performance across the various countries in which the Group operates; in particular, improved revenues were reported in Turkey and in Scandinavian Countries, while reducing in Italy, Egypt and the Far East.

The EBITDA and EBIT, respectively amounting to Euro 192.4 million and Euro 104.1 million, improved respectively 13.4% and 35.7% on the previous year, as benefitting from non-recurring items. The EBITDA margin increased from 17.2% in 2013 to 20.3% in 2014.The Group Net Profit totalled Euro 71.6 million, significantly improving on 2013 (Euro 40.1 million), thanks also to a strong financial management performance.

The Group Net Cash Position, thanks to the strong operating performance and working capital management, improved Euro 46.6 million.

Acqua Campania S.p.A.

The Vianini Lavori Group holds 47.9% of Acqua Campania S.p.A., the Campania Region agency for the management of the Western Campania aqueduct.

The company reported a net profit amounted of Euro 4 million (Euro 3.2 million in 2013). Ordinary revenues are substantially in line with the previous year at approx. Euro 61 million; in particular, water distribution revenues increased, while revenues from works on behalf of the Campania Region decreased. The EBITDA amounts to approx. Euro 4.4 million, improving on Euro 3.4 million in 2013, due to the reduction in operating costs.

Grandi Stazioni S.p.A.

The Vianini Lavori Group holds, through the associated company Eurostazioni S.p.A., 13.08% of Grandi Stazioni S.p.A.. The company is involved in the commercial development of the nontechnical activities of the major Italian rail stations. Grandi Stazioni S.p.A. in 2014 reported Operating Revenues of Euro 209.9 million, increasing 2% on 2013, thanks to the increase in revenues for the rental of refurbished spaces (+3%) and the media and advertising activities performance, which, despite the out of home advertising market contracting 10% on 2013, maintained stable revenues and increased market share. EBIT, following amortisation and depreciation, partly concerning previous years, of Euro 19 million and write-downs of Euro 4 million, amounted to Euro 35 million, increasing Euro 12 million on 2013 (+52.4%).The consolidated net profit amounted to approx. Euro 20 million, increasing Euro 10 million on the previous year (+96.9%).

Outlook

The public works market continues to be very challenging and for the moment there are no signs of recovery compared to the previous year, despite a number of regulatory developments such as the "Release Italy" Decree and further resources through the Stability Law. The great difficulties which the country faces resulted not only in a significant contraction in investment but also difficulties and delays in securing payment for contracts in progress from commissioning bodies.

Within the current market environment, the Vianini Lavori Group is focused on the completion of projects under construction; in addition, the Group focused greater attention on the expanding markets.

Subsequent events afer rhe reporting date

On January 11th 2015 the Board of Directors of Vianini Lavori S.p.A., noting the Board of Directors' motion of Cementir Holding concerning the share capital increase proposal, approved a share capital increase, through its subsidiary Lav 2004 S.r.l., in view of the imminent acquisition

possibility by the Cementir Group. Subsequently, Cementir Holding communicated to the Company that the procedure in which it had participated had not been awarded and therefore the investment opportunity required for their share capital increase could no longer be supported. In consideration of this, Cementir Holding, although re-conferring the Board of Directors' power in accordance with Article 2443 of the Civil Code, in order to avail of a Shareholders' Meeting motion to undertake at any time any future expansion of the Cementir Group, communicated to Vianini Lavori S.p.A. that the need to maintain a commitment to a share capital increase, granted on January 12, 2015, is no longer required. In light of that outlined above, the Board of Directors of Vianini Lavori S.p.A. on March 11, 2015, noting the communication received from Cementir Holding S.p.A., confirmed that the Company, also on behalf of its subsidiary Lav 2004 S.r.l., was released from the above-stated commitment.

Transactions with related parties

The transactions with "related" parties, as set out in IAS 24, include inter-company transactions, form part of the ordinary business activities and are governed at market conditions.

The information on transactions with related parties in 2014, including those required by Consob communication of July 28th 2006, is shown in the Notes to the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management of risks

The activities of Vianini Lavori and its subsidiaries are subject to various financial risks: market risks (raw materials prices and the movements in listed share prices), credit risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The management of the financial risks is undertaken through organisational directives which govern the management of these risks and the control of all operations which have importance in the composition of the financial and/or commercial assets and liabilities. The Group has not used derivative financial instruments, nor do specific financial risks exist in relation to price, credit or liquidity (other than that deriving from the operating activities).

Interest rate risk

The Group has a minimal exposure to interest rate risk, which principally affects the returns on liquidity held by the Group.

Currency risk

Exchange rate risk is not considered a factor as operations and revenues exclusively relate to Italy, in addition to the principal costs.

Credit risk

The Group does not have particularly significant credit risks. The operating procedures permit a control of the risk connected to the receivable, as operating activities are principally undertaken with Public Bodies.

Market risk (price of raw materials – services)

The Group is exposed in a non-significant manner to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and services; this risk is, in fact, managed by the operating companies of the parent company, through recourse to a wide range of suppliers which permits the obtaining of the best market conditions and the agreement, where possible, of tender contracts with conditions containing risks related to the prices of raw materials.

Price risk of the equity shareholdings

In relation to the risk of changes in the fair value of the equity shareholdings held as available for sale, the Group monitors the changes of share prices and for this reason constantly records the movements in the listed shares in portfolio.

Environment and security risk

Existing regulations and laws are rigorously applied to workplace health and security and hence govern this area of risk.

Principal uncertainties and going concern

The current conditions in the financial markets and the real economy do not allow accurate evaluations of the medium-term outlook within the Group's markets. These uncertainties, however, as already stated, do not affect the going concern of the business based on the diversified order portfolio and the Group relies on its own funds and no uncertainties exist that could compromise the capacity of the Group to carry out its operating activities.

Other information

Vianco S.p.A, entirely held by Vianini Lavori S.p.A., undertook an agreement with Autostrade per l'Italia S.p.A. for the sale of its investment totalling 24.98% in the company Autostrada Tirrenica (SAT) for a value of Euro 27.6 million. The conclusion of the operation, expected by first half of 2015, is subject to, among other conditions, the receipt of authorisation from the Granting party.

During 2014, the companies of the Vianini Lavori Group did not carry out any research and development activity.

At December 31st 2014 personnel numbered 43 (41 at December 31st 2013), of which 1 bluecollar, 30 white-collar and 12 senior managers. The average employees in the 12 months of 2014 amounted to 41.

Compliance with IAS/IFRS

The consolidated financial statements at December 31st 2014 are prepared on the going concern basis of the Parent Company and the subsidiaries and in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of Legislative Decree 38/2005 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), approved by the European Commission and in force at the balance sheet date, in addition to the preceding International Accounting Standards (IAS). For simplicity, all the standards and interpretations are hereafter stated simply as "IFRS". In the preparation of the present document, account was taken of Article 9 of Legislative Decree No.28 of February 28th 2005, of the provisions of the civil code, of CONSOB Resolution No. 15519 ("Regulations relating to financial statements to be issued in accordance with article 9, paragraph 3 of Legs. Decree No. of February 28th 2005") and No. 15520 ("Modifications and amendments to the implementation rules of Legs. Decree No. 58 of 1998") both of July 27th 2006 as well as CONSOB communication No. DEM/6064293 of July 28th 2006 ("Disclosure of issuers of shares and financial instruments in accordance with Article 116 of the CFA").

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements consist of the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Comprehensive Income Statement, the Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of changes in Shareholders' Equity and the relative Notes to the financial statements.

The basis of presentation of the Group financial statements is as follows:

  • the current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities are presented as separate classifications in the Balance Sheet;
  • the income statement items are classified by the nature of the expense;
  • the Comprehensive income statement, beginning with the net result, highlights the effect of profits and losses recorded directly to net equity;
  • the Statement of changes in Shareholders' Equity reports the changes in the period of the individual accounts within Net Equity;
  • the cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method.

The historic cost is the general criteria adopted, with the exception of the financial statement accounts measured at Fair value according to the individual IFRS, as described in the measurement criteria below.

The IFRS were applied in accordance with the "Framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements" and no matters arose which required recourse to the exceptions permitted by IAS 1, paragraph 19.

It is recalled that CONSOB. resolution No. 15519 of July 27th 2006 requires that the above financial statements report, where the amounts are significant, additional sub-accounts to those already specifically required by IAS 1 and other international accounting standards in order to show the balances and transactions with related parties as well as the relative income statement accounts relating to non-recurring or unusual operations.

The assets and liabilities are shown separately and without any offsetting.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro and the amounts are shown in thousands, except where indicated otherwise.

The accounting principles and criteria applied in the present financial statements are in line with those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2013. For a better comprehension, some accounts for the year ended December 31st 2013 have been reclassified, without changes in the shareholders equity or in the income.

The 2014 financial statements of the Parent Company Vianini Lavori SpA are also prepared in accordance with IFRS as defined above.

Accounting standards and amendments to standards adopted by the Group

a) From January 1st 2014 the Group adopted the following new accounting standards:

Amendments to IAS 32 - "Financial Instruments – Presentation - Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities": the standard clarifies that the assets and liabilities previously recognised to the financial statements may be offset only where an entity has a right not subject to the occurrence of future events and one which is exercisable both in the case of the continuation of the activities of the entity preparing the financial statements and of all other parties involved and in the case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy;

IFRS 10 – "Consolidated Financial Statements": the standard provides a single model for the consolidated financial statements which considers control as the basis for the consolidation of all types of entities; in particular IFRS 10 establishes that an investor controls an entity in which an investment has been made when exposed to variable income streams or when possessing rights to such income streams based on the relationship with the entity, and at the same time has the capacity to affect such income

steams through the exercise of its power. Therefore, an investor controls an entity subject to investment only if it simultaneously:

  • (i) exercises power over the entity subject to investment,
  • (ii) is exposed or has rights on variable income streams of the investment in the entity,
  • (iii) has the capacity to exercise its power on the entity subject to investment to affect its income streams.

In summary, IFRS 10 clarifies the concept of control and its application in circumstances of de facto control, potential voting rights and complex investment structures;

  • IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements": IFRS 11 requires that joint agreements which the entity participates in are classified to one of the following two categories:
  • (i) joint operations, in the case of joint agreements according to which each participant has rights on the assets and obligations in terms of liabilities and
  • (ii) joint ventures, in the case of joint agreements according to which each participant has rights on the net assets of the agreement, as for example in the case of companies with legal personality.

Where the agreement may be considered as a joint operation, IFRS 11 requires the proquota recognition of costs, revenues, assets and liabilities deriving from the agreement (proportional consolidation); in the case of joint ventures, on the other hand, IFRS 11 eliminates the previous possibility under IAS 31 to proportionally consolidate such agreements; therefore they must be recognised in the consolidated financial statements according to the equity method provided for in IAS 28;

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests in other entities": the standard requires disclosure in the explanatory notes of the investments held in other companies, including associated companies, joint ventures, special purpose vehicles and other non-consolidated corporate vehicles.

IAS 27 Revised "Separate Financial Statements": with the approval of IFRS 10, the application of IAS 27 was revised and limited only to the separate financial statements;

IAS 28 Revised "Investments in associates and joint ventures": simultaneous to the approval of the new IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, IAS 28 was revised to incorporate the amendments introduced by the above-mentioned standards.

Amendments to IAS 36 – "Additional disclosure on the recoverable amount of nonfinancial assets": the amendments to IAS 36 concern disclosure in the explanatory notes

exclusively in relation to those non-financial assets which have been impaired (or for which the impairment has been eliminated), where the recoverable amount was established according to the fair value net of selling costs.

Amendment to IAS 39 "Novation of derivatives and continuity of hedge accounting": the amendments to IAS 39 add an exception to the previously existing provisions concerning the cessation of hedge accounting in the situations in which a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is subject to novation by an original counterparty to a central counterparty, as a result of the existence or introduction of regulations, in such a manner that the hedge accounting may continue despite the novation.

b) Accounting Standards and interpretations on Standards effective from the periods subsequent to 2014 and not adopted in advance by the Group:

On May 20th 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21 – "Levies", an interpretation of IAS 37 – "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets". IFRIC 21 provides clarification on when an entity should recognise a liability for the payment of State taxes, with the exception of those already governed by other standards (e.g. IAS 12 – "Income taxes"). IAS 37 establishes the criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the existence of a present obligation on the entity arising from a past event (known as an obligating event). The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event, which gives rise to a liability for the payment of the tax, is described in the applicable regulation from which the payment arises. IFRIC Levies must be applied at the latest from periods beginning on or before June 17th 2014.

On November 21, 2013, IASB issued the document "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits)". The amendments made to IAS 19 permit (but do not render compulsory) the deduction from the current service cost of the period the contributions paid by the employees and by third parties, which are not related to the number of years of service, in place of the allocation of these contributions over the service period;

  • On December 12, 2013, IASB published the document "Annual Improvements to IFRS
  • – 2010-2012 Cycle". These amendments mainly refer to:
  • IFRS 2, amended the definition of the vesting condition;
  • IFRS 3, clarifying that a potential payment classified as an asset or liability must be valued at fair value at each reporting date;

  • IFRS 8, principally requiring disclosure concerning the criteria and evaluation factors considered in determining the level of aggregation of the operating segments within the financial statements;

  • the Basis of Conclusions of IFRS 13, confirming the possibility to recognise shortterm receivables and payables which do not explicitly state the implicit interest rate therein, at their face value, if the effect from not discounting is not significant;
  • IAS 16 and IAS 38, clarifying the manner to determine the gross book value of the assets, in the case of revaluation consequent of the application of the model of the re-determined value;
  • IAS 24, specifying that an entity is related to a reporting entity if the entity (or a member of the group to which it belongs) provides to the reporting entity (or its parent company) key management personnel services.

The provisions are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to February 1st 2015.

  • On the same date, the IASB published the document "Annual Improvements to IFRS – 2011-2013 Cycle". These amendments mainly refer to:
  • the Basis of Conclusion of IFRS 1, clarifying the definition of IFRS "in force" for the First-time adopters;
  • IFRS 3, clarifying the exclusion from the application of joint control agreements in the financial statements of the joint control agreements themselves;
  • IFRS 13, clarifying that the application of the exception as per paragraph 48 of the standard is extended to all contracts within the application of IAS 39, independent of the fact of whether they are within the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities as per IAS 32;
  • IAS 40, clarifying the interrelation between IFRS 3 and the standard.

The provisions are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2015.

The Group did not opt for the advance adoption of the standards, interpretations and updates already approved, which are applicable after the date of the accounts.

The Group is evaluating the possible effects related to the application of these new standards/changes to accounting standards; based on a preliminary evaluation, significant effects are not expected on the consolidated financial statements.

c) New accounting standards and interpretations:

At the date of the approval of the present Consolidated Financial Statements, the IASB had issued (however not yet approved by the European Union) a number of accounting standards, interpretations and amendments - some still in the consultation phase among which we highlight:

On November 12th 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9 – "Financial Instruments"; the standard was re-issued in October 2010 and amended in November 2013. It introduces new criteria for the classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and for hedge accounting and replaces in terms of these issues IAS 39 – "Financial assets: recognition and measurement". Under the amendment introduced in November 2013, in addition to other changes, IASB eliminated the date of obligatory first adoption in the standard previously fixed at January 1st 2015. This date will be reintroduced with the publication of a full standard at the conclusion of the project on IFRS 9.

On January 30th 2014, the IASB published IFRIC 14 – "Regulatory Deferral Accounts". The standard establishes the option for first-time adopters operating in a regulated tariff sector to continue to recognise in the first and subsequent IFRS financial statements - with certain limited changes - the "regulatory assets and liabilities" under the previous local GAAP; in addition, the assets and liabilities from regulatory activities and their movements are presented separately in the balance sheet, in the income statement and in the comprehensive income statement and specific disclosure must be provided in the explanatory notes. The standard is effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2016.

On May 6th 2014, the IASB issued the "Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements)" document. The amendments to IFRS 11, applied from periods beginning or subsequent to January 1st 2016, clarify the method for recognition of holdings acquired in a joint operation.

On May 12th 2014, the IASB published a document "Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)" in order to clarify that a depreciation and amortisation method based on the revenues generated by an asset (revenue-based method) is not considered appropriate as exclusively reflecting the revenue streams generated from the assets and not, in fact, the manner of consumption of the economic benefits of the asset. These clarifications are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2016.

On May 28th 2014, the IASB published "IFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The standard establishes the criteria for the recognition of revenues from the sale of products or the supply of services through the introduction of the so-called five-step model framework; in addition, specific information concerning the nature, the amount, the timing and the uncertainties relating to revenues and cash flows deriving from the underlying contracts with clients must be provided in the explanatory notes. The standard is effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2017.

On August 12, 2014, the IASB published the document Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendments to IAS 27)". The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to measure investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in the separate financial statements.

On September 11, 2014, the IASB published the document "Sales or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28)", in order to resolve a conflict between IAS 28 and IFRS 10. According to IAS 28, the profit or loss from the sale or conferment of a non-monetary asset to a joint venture or associate in exchange for a share of the capital of this latter is limited to the share held by external investors to the transaction. On the other hand, IFRS 10 provides for the recognition of the entire profit or loss in the case of loss of control, also if the entity continues to hold a non-controlling holding, including also upon the sale or conferment of a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate. The amendments introduced provide that for the disposal/conferment of an asset or a subsidiary to a joint venture or associated company, the measurement of the profit or the loss to be recognised to the financial statements of the disposing company/conferring company depends on whether the asset or the subsidiary disposed of/conferred is a business as defined by IFRS 3. In the case in which the assets or the subsidiary disposed of/conferred are considered a business, the entity must recognise the profit of the loss on the entire share previously held; while in the contrary case, the share of profit or loss concerning the stake still held by the entity must be eliminated.

On December 25, 2014, the IASB published the "Annual Improvements to IFRS: 2012-2014 Cycle". The amendments introduced concern the following standards: IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure, IAS 19 Employee Benefits, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

On December 18, 2014, the IASB published the document Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28). The amendment clarifies three issues concerning the consolidation of an investment entity.

On December 18, 2014, the IASB published a number of amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, in order to clarify some disclosure related aspects. The initiative is part of the Disclosure Initiative project to improve the presentation and communication of financial information in financial reports and to resolve a number of issues highlighted by operators.

On June 30, 2014, the IASB published a number of amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 concerning Bearer Plants. According to these amendments, cultivation may be recorded at cost instead of at fair value. Otherwise, the amount continues to be recognised at fair value.

Any effects that the newly applied accounting standards, amendments and interpretations may have on the Group financial disclosure are currently being evaluated.

Subsidiary Companies

Subsidiaries are considered all companies for which the Group is exposed to variable income streams or when possessing rights to such income streams, based on the relationship with the entity, and at the same time has the capacity to affect such income steams through the exercise of its power. In the evaluation of control, consideration is also taken of the potential voting rights.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date in which control occurs until the moment in which this control terminates.

The financial statements used for the consolidation were prepared at December 31st and are normally those prepared and approved by the Board of Directors of the individual companies,

appropriately adjusted, where necessary, in accordance with the accounting principles of the Parent Company.

Inactive subsidiaries or those that generate an insignificant volume of turnover are not included in the consolidated financial statements as their impact would not be significant. The subsidiary companies excluded from the consolidation scope are valued at cost and reduced for impairments where the company has incurred losses which are not expected to be absorbed by profits earned in the future.

For the list of companies included in the consolidation scope, reference should be made to the table attached to the present report.

Associated Companies

Associated companies are companies in which the Group has a significant influence, which is presumed to exist when the percentage held is between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Companies under joint control (joint ventures) are subject to a contractual agreement, according to which decisions concerning significant activities require unanimous consent among the agreement participants.

The investments in associated companies and the companies subject to joint control are valued under the equity method and are initially recorded at cost.

The equity method is as described below:

  • the book value of these investments are in line with the net equity and includes the recording of the higher value attributed to the assets and liabilities and to any goodwill identified at the moment of the acquisition;

  • the Group gains and losses are recorded at the date in which the significant influence or the joint control begins and until the significant influence or the joint control terminates; in the case where, due to losses, the Company valued under this method indicates a negative net equity, the carrying value of the investment is written down and any excess pertaining to the Group, where this latter is committed to comply with legal or implicit obligations of the investee, or in any case to cover the losses, is recorded in a specific provision; the equity changes of the companies valued under the equity method not recorded through the income statement are recorded directly as an adjustment to equity reserves;

  • the significant gains and losses not realised generated on operations between the Parent Company and subsidiary companies and investments valued under the equity method are eliminated based on the share pertaining to the Group in the investee; the losses not realised are eliminated, except when they represent a reduction in value.

The list of associated companies and the condensed financial information required by IAS 12 is provided in the notes.

Consolidation procedures

The subsidiary companies are consolidated using the line-by-line method. The criteria adopted for the line-by-line consolidation were as follows:

  • the assets and liabilities and the charges and income of the companies fully consolidated are recorded line-by-line, attributing to the minority shareholders, where applicable, the share of net equity and net result for the period pertaining to them; this share is recorded separately in the net equity and in the consolidated income statement;
  • the business combinations, in which the control of an entity is acquired, are recorded applying the "Acquisition method". The acquisition cost is represented by the fair value, at the purchase date, of assets sold, of liabilities incurred and of capital instruments issued.The assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at their fair value at the purchase date. The difference between the purchase cost and the fair value of the assets and liabilities transferred, if positive, is recorded under intangible assets as goodwill, and if negative is recorded directly in the income statement, as income;
  • the inter-group balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains with third parties, are eliminated net of the fiscal effect, if significant. The non-realised losses are not eliminated, where the transaction indicates a reduction in value of the activity transferred.
  • the gains and losses deriving from the sale of an investment in a consolidated subsidiary are recorded to group net equity as a transaction with shareholders for the amount corresponding to the difference between the sales price and the corresponding share of the consolidated net equity sold. In the case in which the sale results in the loss of control and therefore the deconsolidation of the investment, the difference between the sales price and the corresponding share of consolidated net equity sold must be recorded as a profit or loss to the income statement.

Business combinations

Business combinations are recognised according to the acquisition method. According to this method:

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 48

  • i. the amount transferred in a business combination is valued at fair value, calculated as the sum of the fair value of the assets transferred and the liabilities assumed by the Group at the acquisition date and of the equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the company acquired. Accessory charges to the transaction are recorded to the income statement at the moment in which they are incurred;
  • ii. at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date; an exception are the deferred tax assets and liabilities, employee benefit assets and liabilities, liabilities or equity instruments relating to share-based payments of the entity acquired or share-based payments relating to the Group, issued in replacement of the contracts of the entity acquired, and the assets (or group of assets and liabilities) held-for-sale, which are instead valued according to the applicable standard;
  • iii. goodwill is calculated as the excess of the amounts transferred in the business combination, of the value of minority interests' net equity and the fair value of any holding previously held in the acquired company compared to the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. If the value of the net assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date exceeds the sum of amounts transferred, of the value of minority interest net equity and the fair value of any holding previously held in the acquired company, this excess is immediately recorded to the income statement as income deriving from the transaction concluded;
  • iv. any amount subject to conditions established by the business combination contract are valued at fair value at the acquisition date and included in the value of the amounts transferred in the business combination for the determination of goodwill.

In the case of business combinations undertaken in a series of phases, the holding previously held in the acquired entity is revalued at fair value at the acquisition of control date and any profit or loss is recorded to the income statement.

If the initial values of a business combination are incomplete at the period-end in which the business combination took place, the Group reports in its consolidated financial statements the provisional values of the items for which the final calculations could not be made. These provisional values are adjusted in the measurement period to take account of the new information obtained on the facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date which, if known, would have had effects on the value of assets and liabilities recognised at this date.

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 49

On passage to IFRS, the Group decided to restate only the business combinations taking place after January 1st 2004. For the acquisitions before this date, goodwill is the amount recorded in accordance with Italian GAAP.

Accounting policies

Intangible assets

An intangible asset is a non-monetary asset, clearly identifiable and without physical substance, controllable and capable of generating future economic benefits.

They are recognised at cost, including direct accessory costs necessary in order to render the asset available for use. On initial recording, the useful life of each intangible asset is determined. When, after an analysis of all significant factors, it is not possible to predict a period in which the cash flows will enter into the Group, the intangible asset is considered to have an indefinite useful life. The estimate of the useful lives is reviewed on an annual basis and any changes, where necessary, are made in accordance with future estimates.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recognised net of the relative accumulated amortisation and any impairment in accordance with the procedures described below. Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and is recognised on a systematic basis in relation to the residual use and thus over the useful life of the asset. In the first year of use the amortisation takes into account the period of its use in the year.

At the moment of sale or when no expected future economic benefits exist from the use of an intangible asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any loss or gain (calculated as the difference between the sales value and the relative net book value) is recorded in the income statement in the year of the above mentioned elimination.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including directly allocated accessory costs and those necessary for the asset being in the condition for which it was acquired, and increased, in the presence of current obligations, by the current value of the estimated cost for the disposal of the asset.

The financial charges directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset itself until the moment in which the asset is ready for expected use or sale.

The expenses incurred for the maintenance and repairs of an ordinary and/or cyclical nature are directly charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. The capitalisation of the costs relating to the expansion, modernisation or improvement of owned tangible assets or of those held in leasing, is made only when they satisfy the requirements to be separately classified as an asset or part of an asset in accordance with the component approach.

Property, plant and equipment is recorded net of the relative accumulated depreciation and any loss in value determined in accordance with the procedures described below. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis according to the estimated useful life of the asset; useful life is reviewed annually and any changes, where necessary, are made on the basis of the new estimate.

Useful life Property, plant
& equipment
Buildings 33 years
General plant 10 years
Specific plant 7 years
Excavators, operating machines, internal transport 5 years
Light structures 8 years
Metallic moulds 4 years
Motor vehicles 4 years
Equipment 2.5 years
Office furniture and equipment 8 years

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land, both constructible and relating to civil and industrial buildings, is not depreciated as it has an unlimited useful life.

When the asset to be depreciated is composed of separately identifiable elements whose useful life differs significantly from the other parts of the asset, the depreciation is made separately for each part of the asset, with the application of the component approach principle.

At the moment of the sale or when no expected future economic benefits exist from the use of a tangible asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any gain or loss

(calculated as the difference between the sales value and the book value) is recorded in the income statement in the year of the above mentioned elimination.

Investment property

Property held for rental returns or capital appreciation is initially measured at fair value and is not depreciated. The changes in the fair value are recognised in the income statement. Fair value is measured based on the type of investment:

  • market value approach, or rather based on an analysis of a sample of identical recent real estate transactions located close to the asset in question. The value thus determined is then adjusted to take into account the specific features of the building or land;
  • cash flow projections discounted based on reliable estimates of future cash streams supported by rental income and/or other existing contracts.

Impairment losses

Periodically, property, plant and machinery and intangible assets with definite useful life are examined for the existence of events or changes which would indicate that the book value may not be recovered. If an indication of this type exists, the recoverable amount must be determined and, in the case in which the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, these assets are written down to reflect their recoverable amount.

The recoverable value of property, plant and machinery and intangible assets is the higher value between the present value, net of the disposal costs and their value in use. The value in use refers to the present value of estimated future cash flows of the asset or, for assets that do not independently generate sufficient cash flows, of the group of assets that comprise the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In defining the value of use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks of the activity.

A reduction in value is recognised in the income statement when the carrying value of the asset, or of the relative cash-generating unit to which it is allocated, is higher than the recoverable amount: the losses in value of cash generating units are firstly recognised as a reduction of other assets, in proportion to their carrying value.

This allocation has as its minimum limit, the highest value between:

  • the relative fair value of the asset less disposal costs;
  • the relative value in use, as defined above;

zero.

The impairments are recognised in the income statement under the account amortisation, depreciation and write down costs.

.When the reasons for a write-down no longer exist on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the book value of the asset is restated through the income statement, up to the value at which the asset would be recognised if no write-down had taken place and amortisation had been recognised.

Investments valued at net equity

Associated companies are companies in which the Group exercises a significant influence but does not exercise control of the financial and operating policies, as defined by IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures. The consolidated financial statements include the quota attributable to the Group of the results of associated companies recorded under the equity method, from the date in which the significant influence commences until the date in which the significant influence ceases.

Where the share of losses pertaining to the Group in the associated company exceeds the carrying value of the investment, the value of the investment is written down and the share of further losses is not recorded, with the exception that the Group has the obligation to cover such losses.

Investments in other companies

Shares in companies other than subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, for which reference should be made to the consolidation scope (generally less than 20%), are recorded in the account "Investments in other companies" and classified "equity investments" under financial assets available-for-sale, as per IAS 39. These instruments are initially recognised at cost, at the execution date of the operation, as representative of the fair value, including directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these investments are valued at fair value, if calculable, with recognition of the effects to the comprehensive income statement and therefore to a specific net equity reserve. On realisation or recognition of a loss in value from impairments, in the presence of objective evidence that the above-stated instruments have suffered a significant and prolonged loss in value, the cumulative gains and losses in this reserve are reclassified to the income statement.

Where on the updating of the relative fair values any write-downs are recovered, fully or in part, the relative effects will also be recognised to the comprehensive income statement, recharging the specific reserve previously established.

Where the fair value may not be reliably calculated, the investments classified as financial instruments available for sale are valued at cost, adjusted for impairments. Any recorded losses in value may not be restated;

Receivables for contract work in progress

The construction contracts in progress are valued according to the contractual payments matured with reasonable certainty in relation to the state of advancement of works, through the percentage of completion criteria, determined through the cost to cost method.

The valuations reflect the best estimate of works made at the reporting date. Periodically, the assumptions underlying the measurements are updated. Any derivative economic effects are measured in the year in which they are made.

Order revenues include:

in addition to the amounts paid under contract, the order modifications, the price reviews, the incentives, as far as considered probable and which may be reliably measured, in application of IAS 11 "construction contracts". In this regard, the relative valuations were carried out with reference to:

• specific regulation concerning public works and the international regulation;

• contractual clauses;

• the state of advancement of negotiations with the purchaser and the probability of a positive outcome from these negotiations;

• where necessary, as a result of the complexity of the specific facts, assessments of a technical-legal nature carried out also with the support of external consultants, in order to verify the assessments carried out.

Order costs include:

all costs referring directly to the order, costs attributable to the order activity in general and which may be allocated to the same order, in addition to any other cost which may be specifically recharged to the granting party according to the contract. Costs also include:

  • pre-operative costs, i.e. costs incurred in the initial phase of the contract before the beginning of construction works (tender preparation costs, design costs, costs for the organisation and start-up of production, site installation costs), in addition to

  • post-operative costs, incurred after the conclusion of the order (site clearance, return of machinery/plant to company facilities, insurance etc.), and finally

  • costs for any services to be carried out after the completion of works, paid within the order contract, (for example periodic maintenance, assistance and supervision in the initial start-up periods of the individual works).

In addition, the order costs are included under financial charges, as permitted by the amendment to IAS 11 in relation to IAS 23, in relation to loans specifically concerning the works executed. During the tender process in fact, on the basis of specific rules, particular payment conditions had already been defined which required the Group to utilise structured finance operations for the capital invested in the order, whose charges impact the calculation of the relative consideration.

Where the completion of an order may give rise to a loss, such will be recognised in its entirety in the period in which such is reasonably expected.

Where the outcome of the construction contract may not be estimated reliably, the value of the works in progress is measured on the basis of the costs incurred, where these may reasonably be recovered, without recognition of the margin.

Where following the reporting date events emerged, favourable or unfavourable, concerning existing situations at that date, the amounts recognised to the financial statements are adjusted to reflect the consequent financial statement effects.

The contract order work in progress is stated, net of any write-downs and/or losses on completion, in addition to advances concerning the contract in course of execution.

In this latter regard, the amounts invoiced on the individual state of advancement of works (Accounts) were recognised as a reduction of the gross value of the order, where applicable, or any excess in the liability. On the other hand, the invoicing of advances concerns financial events and are not recognised for revenue recognition purposes. Therefore advances representing a mere financial fact are always recognised to liabilities as not received against the works executed. These advances however have reduced progressively, only on the basis of contractual agreements, against the amounts from time to time invoiced in relation to the specific order.

The above-stated analyses were carried out order by order: where a positive differential emerges (due to works in progress greater than the amount of advances), the differences are

classified to the account "Assets for works in progress"; where this difference is negative the difference is classified among liabilities to the account "Liabilities for work in progress".

Financial assets

The financial assets are classified, on initial recognition, in one of the following categories and measured as follows:

available-for-sale financial assets: the AFS assets are non-derivative financial instruments explicitly designated in this category and are classified under non-current assets unless management has the intention to sell them within 12 months from the balance sheet date. These financial assets are valued at fair value and the valuation gains or losses are allocated to net equity through the Comprehensive Income Statement. They are recognised in the income statement only when the financial asset is sold, or, in the case of negative cumulative changes, when it is considered that the reduction in value already recorded under equity can not be recovered and when a long-term loss in value is established.

The Group, taking account of the types of shares held, established that the quantitative limits utilised to identify the necessity for an impairment procedure are for a decrease in the fair value at the balance sheet date of above 50% compared to the original book value or a decrease in the fair value below the initial recording for 60 consecutive months.

Financial assets are eliminated from the balance sheet when the right to receive the cash flows from the instrument ceases and the Group has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument and the relative control. When the fair value cannot be determined reliably, the cost value is maintained, adjusted for any losses in value. These losses for reduction in value may not be restated;

loans and receivables: they are financial instruments, principally relating to loans and receivables, non-derivative, not listed on an active market, from which fixed or determinable payments are expected. They are classified as current assets (when the due date is within the normal commercial terms) except for amounts due beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. On initial recognition these assets are measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost, on the basis of the effective interest rate. When there is an indication of a reduction in value, the asset is reduced to the value of the discounted future cash flows obtainable. The losses in value are recorded in the income statement. When, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the write-down no longer

exist, the value of the assets is restated up to the value deriving from the application of the amortised cost where no write-down had been applied.

Financial assets are derecognised from the balance sheet when the right to receive the cash flows from the instrument ceases and the Group has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument and the relative control.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities relate to loans, trade payables and other commitments to be paid, and are initially valued at fair value, net of directly allocated accessory costs, and subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate. When there is a change in the expected cash flows and it is possible to estimate them reliably, the values of liabilities are recalculated to reflect this change based on the new current value of the expected cash flows and of the internal yield initially determined.

The financial liabilities are classified under current liabilities, except when the Group has an unconditional right to defer their payment for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. Financial liabilities are eliminated from the balance sheet when they expire and the Group has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument.

Fair value hierarchy levels

In relation to the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet at Fair Value, IFRS 13 requires that these values are classified based on a hierarchy of levels which reflects the degree of input utilised in the determination of the Fair Value. The following levels are used:

  • Level 1: determination of fair value based on prices listed on active markets for identical assets or liabilities which the entity can access at the valuation date;
  • Level 2: determination of fair value based on other inputs than the listed prices included in "Level 1" but which are directly (prices) or indirectly (derivatives of prices) observable for the assets or liabilities;
  • Level 3: determination of the Fair Value based on valuation models whose input is not observable for the assets or liabilities.

For information on the Fair Value hierarchy level, reference should be made to Note 31.

Cash and cash equivalents

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 57

Cash and cash equivalents are accounted at fair value and include bank deposits and cash in hand, or rather those values that are available on demand at short notice, certain in nature and with no payment expenses.

Employee benefits

The liabilities relating to the benefits recognised to employees and paid on or after the employment period and relating to defined benefit plans (Employee Leaving Indemnity), net of any assets serving the plan, are determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions estimating the amount of the future benefits that the employees have matured at the balance sheet date. The liability is recognised on an accruals basis over the maturity period of the right.

In relation to the Employee leaving indemnity, following the amendments to Law No.296 of December 27th 2006 and subsequent Decrees and Regulations ("Pension Reform") issued in the first months of 2007, it is noted that:

  • the employee leaving indemnity matured at December 31st 2006 continues to be considered as a defined benefit plan;
  • the employee leaving indemnity matured from January 1st 2007, for Italian companies with a number of employees above 50, is considered a defined contribution plan.

The determination of the current value of the Group commitments is made by an independent expert using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, a future projection is made of the liability to determine the probable amount to be paid on the termination of employment and then discounted, to take into account the period of time which will pass before the actual payment. The calculation takes into account the employee leaving indemnity matured and is based on actuarial assumptions which principally relate to the interest rate, which reflects the market return of primary securities with maturities similar to those for bonds and the turnover of employees.

For the quota of the employee leaving indemnity allocated to the integrated pension or rather the INPS fund from the date of the option exercised by the employee, the Group is not a debtor of the employee indemnity provision matured after December 31st 2006, and therefore the actuarial calculation of the employee leaving indemnity excludes the component relating to future salary changes.

The actuarial gains and losses, defined as the difference between the carrying value of the liabilities and the present value of the Group commitments at the end of the period, due to changes in the actuarial assumptions based on past experience, are directly recorded to other items of the Comprehensive Income Statement.

The financial component is however recorded in the Income Statement, in the account financial charges.

Current and non-current provisions

Provisions for risks and charges are recognised in respect of certain or probable losses or liabilities, the amount or due date of which could not be determined at year-end.

Provisions for risks and charges are recognised when, at the balance sheet date, a legal or implicit obligation exists that derives from a past event and a payment of resources is a probable requirement to satisfy the obligation, and the amount of this payment can be estimated. When the financial effect of the time is significant and the payment dates of the obligations can be reliably estimated, the provision shall be discounted; the increase of the provision due to the passing of time is recognised as a financial expense. If the liability relates to a tangible asset, the counterparty of the provision is recognised under the asset to which it refers; the recognising of the charge to the income statement is made through the process of depreciation of the tangible asset to which the charge refers to.

Revenues other than from contract work in progress

Revenues are recognised in accordance with the probability that the Group will receive economic benefits and the amount can be determined reliably. The revenues are recognised at the fair value of the amount received less VAT, returns, premiums and discounts.

In particular, the revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and benefits of the ownership of the assets are transferred to the purchaser.

Revenues for services are recognised when the services are provided, with reference to the amount of the service rendered in relation to the amount still to be rendered.

Financial income and charges

Financial income and charges are recognised in accordance with the accruals concept on the basis of the interest matured on the net value of the relative financial assets and liabilities utilising the effective interest rate, therefore utilising the rate which is financially equivalent to

all the cash inflows and outflows which comprise an operation. Therefore, in relation to capitalised financial charges, reference should be made to the measurement criteria of property, plant and machinery.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the right of the shareholders to receive the payment is established, which normally corresponds to the shareholders' meeting resolution for their distribution.

The distribution of dividends to third parties is therefore recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the distribution is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Income taxes

Current Income taxes for the period are determined on the basis of the taxable assessable income and in accordance with current fiscal law; in addition, the effects deriving from the implementation by the Parent Company and the Group companies of the national fiscal consolidation with the parent company Caltagirone SpA are applied. As a consequence, the Parent Company and the subsidiaries recorded the income tax balances relating to the parent companies in the accounts "Parent company receivables" and "Parent company payables" instead of in the accounts "Tax payables" and "Tax receivables".

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences between the Consolidated balance sheet values and the corresponding values recognised for fiscal purposes, based on the tax rates and the tax regulations in force or substantially in force at the date of the preparation of financial statements.

The recognition of deferred tax assets is made when their recovery is probable - that is when it is expected that there will be future assessable fiscal income sufficient to recover the asset. The recovery of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date.

Current and deferred income taxes are recorded in the income statement, except those relating to accounts directly credited or debited to equity through the comprehensive income statement, in which case the fiscal effect is recognised directly to equity. Current and deferred taxes are compensated when the income tax is applied by the same fiscal authority, there is a legal right of compensation and the payment of the net balance is expected.

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 60

Other taxes not related to income, such as taxes on property, are included under "Other operating expenses".

Foreign currency transactions

All transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the individual Group companies are recognised at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

The assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the operational currencies are subsequently adjusted to the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. The positive or negative differences between the values translated at the period end exchange rate and the original exchange rate are recognised in the income statement.

The non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the Euro and recorded at historical cost are translated utilising the exchange rate at the initial date of the recording of the operation.

The non-monetary assets and liabilities recognised at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the transaction date.

Translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

The financial statements of the subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are prepared in the primary currency in which they operate (functional currency).

The financial statements of companies not included in the Eurozone are translated into Euro applying, for the balance sheet, the exchange rate at the reporting date, and, for the income statement, the average exchange rate in the period. The translation differences deriving from the adjustment of opening shareholders' equity to the exchange rates at the end of the period and the differences deriving from the different methods used for the translation of the result are recognised in equity in a separate reserve.

On the disposal of a foreign subsidiary, the accumulated translation differences recognised in the separate equity account will be recognised in the income statement.

In accordance with IFRS 1, the cumulative translation differences on the first-time adoption of IFRS are reclassified in the equity account "retained earnings" and, therefore, are not recognised in the income statement on the subsequent disposal of the investment.

Earnings per share

Basic

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 61

The basic earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the result of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding any treasury shares.

Diluted

The diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the result of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding any treasury shares. In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share, the average weighted number of shares outstanding is adjusted assuming the conversion of all shares with potential dilution effect. The diluted earnings per share is not calculated in the case of losses, as the dilution effect would result in an improvement in the earnings per share.

Risk Management

The activities of Vianini Lavori and its subsidiaries are subject to various financial risks: market risks (raw materials prices and the movements in listed share prices), credit risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The management of the financial risks of the Group is undertaken through organisational directives which govern the management of these risks and the control of all operations which have importance in the composition of the financial and/or commercial assets and liabilities.

The Group does not have any derivative financial instruments, nor do specific financial risks exist in relation to price, credit or liquidity (other than that deriving from operating activities).

The Group has a minimal exposure to interest rate risk, which only affects the returns on liquidity held. Exchange rate risk is not considered a factor as operations and revenues exclusively relate to Italy, in addition to the principal costs.

The Group does not have particularly significant credit risks. The operating procedures permit a control of the risk connected to the receivable, limiting the sales of products and/or services to clients without an adequate level of credit lines or guarantees.

Therefore, the maximum credit risk exposure is represented by the book value in the accounts.

The Group is exposed in a non-significant manner to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and services; this risk is, in fact, managed by the operating companies of the parent company, through recourse to a wide range of suppliers which permits the obtaining of the best market conditions and the agreement, where possible, of tender contracts with conditions containing risks related to the prices of raw materials.

In relation to the risk of changes in the fair value of the equity shareholdings held as available for sale, the Group monitors the changes of share prices and for this reason constantly records the movements in the listed shares in portfolio.

Existing regulations and laws are rigorously applied to workplace health and security and hence govern this area of risk.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements require the Directors to apply accounting principles and methods that, in some circumstances, are based on difficulties and subjective valuations and estimates based on the historical experience and assumptions which are from time to time considered reasonable and realistic based on the relative circumstances. The application of these estimates and assumptions impact upon the amounts reported in the financial statements, such as the balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement, and on the disclosures in the notes to the accounts. The final outcome of the accounts in the financial statements, which use the abovementioned estimates and assumptions, may differ from those reported in the subsequent financial statements due to the uncertainty which characterises the assumptions and conditions upon which the estimates are based.

The accounting principles and accounts in the financial statements which require greater subjectivity in the preparation of the estimates and for which a change in the underlying conditions of the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group are as follows:

  • Income taxes: income taxes (current and deferred) are determined based on a prudent interpretation of the tax laws in force. This process may involve complex estimates in the determination of the assessable income and the temporary differences between the accounting and tax values. In particular, the valuation for the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, in relation to tax losses utilisable in subsequent years, and on temporary deductible differences, takes account of the estimates of expected future assessable income.
  • Doubtful debt provision: the recoverability of receivables is valued taking account of the non-payment risk, of aging of receivables and of the losses recorded in the past on similar receivables.

  • Employee benefits: the Post-employment provisions are calculated based on actuarial assumptions; changes in these assumptions may have significant effects on this provision.

  • Risk provision for works in progress: the Group operates in business sectors with complex contractual conditions; to better support estimates, the Group has adopted contract risk analysis management procedures which identify, monitor and quantify risks relating to the execution of these contracts.
  • Legal dispute provision: provisions relating to disputes are based on a process which establishes the probability of loss.
  • Revenues: revenues are recognised based on the amounts paid in proportion to the state of advancement of works. The estimate of the forecast contract margin is a complex valuation process which includes the identification of various risks related to the operating activities, the market conditions and all other elements necessary to establish future costs and expected timelines for the completion of the project.

Assets held-for-sale

Non-current assets or disposal groups whose book value will be recovered principally through sale rather than continual usage are presented as held-for-sale separately from the other assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

This circumstance is applicable only where the sale is highly probable and the non-current assets are available, in their current condition, for immediate sale.

The non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held-for-sale are initially recognised in accordance with the applicable IFRS to each asset and liability and subsequently as the lower between the book value and the relative fair value, less selling costs. Any subsequent impairments are recognised directly as an adjustment to the non-current assets or disposal group classified as held-for-sale and to the Income Statement. The corresponding balance sheet values of the previous year are not reclassified.

Change of accounting principles, errors and change of estimates

The accounting principles adopted are amended from one period to another only if the change is required by a standard and if this contributes to providing more reliable information

on the effects of the operations on the balance sheet, income statement and cash flows of the enterprise.

The changes to the accounting standards are recorded retrospectively with the recording of the effect to net equity for the more remote periods reported. The other comparative amounts indicated for each period are adjusted as if the new standard had always been applied. The prospective approach is made only when it is impractical to reconstruct the comparative information.

The application of a new or amended accounting standard is accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the standard. If the standard does not permit a transition period, the change is accounted in accordance with the retrospective method, or if impractical, with the prospective method.

In the case of significant errors, the same method that is used for changes in accounting standards illustrated previously is applied. In the case of non-significant errors, these are accounted for in the income statement in the period in which they are noted.

Changes in estimates are accounted in accordance with the prospective method in the Income Statement in the period in which the change occurs only if impacting upon this latter or in the period in which the change occurs, and subsequent periods if the change also impacts upon future periods.

Value of the Group

The Stock Market capitalisation of Vianini Lavori is currently lower than the net equity of the Group (Stock Market capitalisation at December 31, 2014 of Euro 245.3 million compared to a Group net equity of Euro 659.6 million). The share price was affected by the generally weak and highly volatile financial market conditions, which significantly differ from an assessment based on the Group's underlying fundamentals expressed by the value in use. Although considering the complex economic environment, it should however be considered that the total value of cash and cash equivalents, of available-for-sale financial assets valued at fair value and the investments in associated companies approximate the Net Equity value.

These investments are valued at cost, adjusted for loss in value, as considered to approximate fair value.

For the change concerning the company Riviera Scarl, reference should be made to note 4. No write-downs were recognised following a comparison between the cost of the investment in Parted 1982 Spa and the pro quota share of net equity, which takes into account the effects from the impairment test on goodwill and on the newspaper titles of the companies belonging to the Caltagirone Editore Group, in which Parted 1982 SpA has a shareholding of 35.56%, as the impairment test did not highlight any loss in value.

In relation to the information requested by Consob concerning the waiver of the shareholder loan to Parted 1982 SpA, it is reported that, following reception of the afore-mentioned information, Consob, through letter dated January 17, 2014, challenged the Parent Company Vianini Lavori SpA on breaches of Article 114 of Legislative Decree No. 58/98 and Article 5, paragraphs 1 and 3 of Consob Resolution No. 17221/2010. All necessary steps were undertaken in order to ensure the best protection of the company.

Deferred tax assets are calculated on the temporary differences between the assessable taxable income and the result from the financial statements. These differences concern principally income taxes calculated following the "Ace" tax benefit (Economic Growth Aid), relating to the capitalisation of companies through conferment in cash and reinvested profits and allocations to the risks and charges provisions.

Deferred tax liabilities mainly refer to the tax effects calculated on the difference between statutory and fiscal depreciation and on the revaluation of the available-for-sale investments. The other changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities include the tax effects on the fair value of the investments and the actuarial losses recorded directly to the Income Statement. The Balance Sheet includes current tax assets (Euro 266 thousand), principally concerning IRES and IRAP receivables.

The income taxes for the year consist of:

2014 2013
IRES 1,110 181

In relation to a notification pursuant to Article 37 bis of Presidential Decree 600/1973 following an inspection by the Finance Department of the subsidiary Viafin Srl concerning tax year 2006, on December 5th 2014 a payment request of Euro 1.6 million was notified, following the unfavourable judgement of the Provincial Tax Commission, by the Tax Office and also to Vianini Lavori SpA in its position as consolidating company of Viafin Srl.. Following this judgment, both Vianini Lavori SpA and Viafin Srl presented on February 11, 2015 an appeal at the Regional Tax Commission. It is expected that this appeal will result in a favourable outcome and the Directors, supported by their tax advisers, consider the risk of any financial liability remote and, consequently, have not accrued any provision in the accounts. The Rome Provincial Tax Commission has not yet set a date for the appeal hearing.

9. Receivables for contract work in progress

The account, totalling Euro 31.4 million, concerns the gross amount due from clients for contracts in progress for which costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) exceeds progress billings.

CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

16. Employee benefit provisions and labour costs

The employee benefit provision represents the liability relating to the benefits recognised to employees and paid either on termination or after employment service. This liability is a defined benefit plan and therefore is determined applying the actuarial method.

The assumptions of the actuarial calculations are as follows.

31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Annual technical discounting rate 1.60% 3.10%
Annual inflation rate 1.50% 2.20%
Annual rate of salary increases 3.00% 3.50%
Annual increase in employee leaving indemnity 2.62% 3.15%

The movements in the year are as follows:

In thousands of Euro 31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Net liability at beginning of period 720 782
Current cost in the year (Service Costs) 3 4
Revaluation (Interest Cost) 22 25
Actuarial gains (losses) 28 21
(Services paid) (165) (112)
Net liability at end of period 608 720

The breakdown of labour costs is as follows:

2014 2013
Wages and salaries 2,937 2,925
Social security 989 1,016
Post-employment provision 3 4
Complementary pension provision 182 222
Other costs 1,067 1,254
Total labour Costs 5,178 5,421

The change in the actuarial gain/loss is related to the choice and the application of an annual technical discount rate considered closer to the reality for the Group.

For a better understanding of the costs relating to employees, it should be noted that the charges incurred by the Companies operating under the so-called "cost recharging" system, are included under service costs.

The provision for risks on investments was utilised to cover the loss of the associated company Rofin 2008 Srl.

The provisions for risks on orders relate to the specific provisions made by the Parent Company Vianini Lavori SpA in relation to orders completed but not yet approved by the General Contractor.

The current portion of the provision for disputes, amounting to Euro 9.5 million, refers to the risk related to the appeal made by a counterparty for a receivable received by the subsidiary Viafin Srl in 2005 following an injunction for a total value of Euro 18.2 million.

Compliance with IFRS/IAS

6 As per MOD.120 A received on 29/05/2014

7 Resulting from the recording of the 2013 dividend paid in May 2014.

The present financial statements at December 31st 2014 were prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with Article 2 of Legislative Decree 38/2005 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), approved by the European Commission and in force at the balance sheet date, in addition to the preceding International Accounting Standards (IAS). For simplicity, all the standards and interpretations are hereafter stated simply as "IFRS". In the preparation of the present document, account was taken of Article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38 of February 28th 2005, of the provisions of the civil code, of CONSOB Resolution No. 15519 ("Regulations relating to financial statements to be issued in accordance with Article 9, paragraph 3 of Legs. Decree No. 38/2005") and No. 15520 ("Modifications and amendments to the implementation rules of Legs. Decree No. 58/1998"), both of July 27th 2006, as well as CONSOB communication No. DEM/6064293 of July 28th 2006 ("Disclosure of issuers of shares and financial instruments in accordance with article 116 of the CFA").

The Company decided to present a single report combining the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Separate Financial Statements of Vianini Lavori SpA, as the Parent Company represents 99% of the consolidated revenues and 80% of the consolidated assets.

Basis of presentation

The Financial Statements consist of the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Comprehensive Income Statement, the Statement of changes in Shareholders' Equity, the Cash Flow Statement and the Notes to the financial statements. In relation to the presentation of the financial statements, the Company has chosen the following options:

  • the current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities are presented as separate classifications in the Balance Sheet;
  • the income statement items are classified by the nature of the expense;
  • the Comprehensive income statement, beginning with the net result, highlights the effect of profits and losses recorded directly to net equity;
  • the Statement of changes in Shareholders' Equity reports the changes in the period of the individual accounts within Net Equity;
  • the cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method.

The historic cost is the general criteria adopted, with the exception of the financial statement accounts measured at Fair value according to the individual IFRS, as described in the measurement criteria below.

The IFRS were applied in accordance with the "Framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements" and no matters arose which required recourse to the exceptions permitted by IAS 1, paragraph 19.

It is recalled that CONSOB. resolution No. 15519 of July 27th 2006 requires that the above financial statements report, where the amounts are significant, additional sub-accounts to those already specifically required by IAS 1 and other international accounting standards in order to show the balances and transactions with related parties as well as the relative income statement accounts relating to non-recurring or unusual operations.

The assets and liabilities are shown separately and without any offsetting.

The Financial Statements at December 31st 2014 are presented in Euro and all the amounts refer to units of the currency, except where indicated otherwise.

The accounting principles and criteria applied in the present financial statements are in line with those adopted in the financial statements for the year ended December 31st 2013. For a better comprehension, some accounts for the year ended December 31st 2013 have been reclassified, without changes in the shareholders equity or in the income

Accounting standards and amendments to standards adopted by the Company

a) From January 1st 2014 the Company adopted the following new accounting standards:

  • d) Amendments to IAS 32 "Financial Instruments – Presentation - Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities": the standard clarifies that the assets and liabilities previously recognised to the financial statements may be offset only where an entity has a right not subject to the occurrence of future events and one which is exercisable both in the case of the continuation of the activities of the entity preparing the financial statements and of all other parties involved and in the case of default, insolvency or bankruptcy;
  • e) IFRS 12 "Disclosure of interests in other entities": the standard requires disclosure in the explanatory notes of the investments held in other companies, including associated companies, joint ventures, special purpose vehicles and other nonconsolidated corporate vehicles.
  • f) IAS 27 Revised "Separate Financial Statements": with the approval of IFRS 10, the application of IAS 27 was revised and limited only to the separate financial statements;

  • g) IAS 28 Revised "Investments in associates and joint ventures": simultaneous to the approval of the new IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, IAS 28 was revised to incorporate the amendments introduced by the above-mentioned standards.

  • h) Amendments to IAS 36 "Additional disclosure on the recoverable amount of nonfinancial assets": the amendments to IAS 36 concern disclosure in the explanatory notes exclusively in relation to those non-financial assets which have been impaired (or for which the impairment has been eliminated), where the recoverable amount was established according to the fair value net of selling costs.
  • i) Amendment to IAS 39 "Novation of derivatives and continuity of hedge accounting": the amendments to IAS 39 add an exception to the previously existing provisions concerning the cessation of hedge accounting in the situations in which a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is subject to novation by an original counterparty to a central counterparty, as a result of the existence or introduction of regulations, in such a manner that the hedge accounting may continue despite the novation.

b) Accounting Standards and interpretations on Standards effective from the periods subsequent to 2014 and not adopted in advance by the Company:

  • On May 20th 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC 21 "Levies", an interpretation of IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets". IFRIC 21 provides clarification on when an entity should recognise a liability for the payment of State taxes, with the exception of those already governed by other standards (e.g. IAS 12 – Income taxes). IAS 37 establishes the criteria for the recognition of a liability, one of which is the existence of a present obligation on the entity arising from a past event (known as an obligating event). The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event, which gives rise to a liability for the payment of the tax, is described in the applicable regulation from which the payment arises. IFRIC Levies must be applied at the latest from periods beginning on or before June 17th 2014.
  • On November 21, 2013, IASB issued the document "Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits)". The amendments made to IAS 19 permit (but do not render compulsory) the deduction from the current service cost of the period the contributions paid by the employees and by third parties, which are not related to the number of years of service, in place of the allocation of these contributions over the service period;

  • On December 12, 2013, IASB published the document "Annual Improvements to IFRS – 2010-2012 Cycle". These amendments mainly refer to:

  • IFRS 2, amended the definition of the vesting condition;
  • IFRS 3, clarifying that a potential payment classified as an asset or liability must be valued at fair value at each reporting date;
  • IFRS 8, principally requiring disclosure concerning the criteria and evaluation factors considered in determining the level of aggregation of the operating segments within the financial statements;
  • the Basis of Conclusions of IFRS 13, confirming the possibility to recognise shortterm receivables and payables which do not explicitly state the implicit interest rate therein, at their face value, if the effect from not discounting is not significant;
  • IAS 16 and IAS 38, clarifying the manner to determine the gross book value of the assets, in the case of revaluation consequent of the application of the model of the re-determined value;
  • IAS 24, specifying that an entity is related to a reporting entity if the entity (or a member of the group to which it belongs) provides to the reporting entity (or its parent company) key management personnel services.

The provisions are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to February 1st 2015.

  • On the same date, the IASB published the document "Annual Improvements to IFRS – 2011-2013 Cycle". These amendments mainly refer to:
  • the Basis of Conclusion of IFRS 1, clarifying the definition of IFRS "in force" for the First-time adopters;
  • IFRS 3, clarifying the exclusion from the application of joint control agreements in the financial statements of the joint control agreements themselves;
  • IFRS 13, clarifying that the application of the exception as per paragraph 48 of the standard is extended to all contracts within the application of IAS 39, independent of the fact of whether they are within the definition of financial assets or financial liabilities as per IAS 32;
  • IAS 40, clarifying the interrelation between IFRS 3 and the standard.

The provisions are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2015.

The Company did not opt for the advance adoption of the standards, interpretations and updates already approved, which are applicable after the date of the accounts.

The Company is evaluating the possible effects related to the application of these new standards/changes to accounting standards; based on a preliminary evaluation, significant effects are not expected on the financial statements.

c) New accounting standards and interpretations:

At the date of the approval of the present Financial Statements, the IASB had issued (however not yet approved by the European Union) a number of accounting standards, interpretations and amendments - some still in the consultation phase - among which we highlight:

  • On November 12th 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"; the standard was re-issued in October 2010 and amended in November 2013. It introduces new criteria for the classification, recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and for hedge accounting and replaces in terms of these issues IAS 39 – "Financial assets: recognition and measurement". Under the amendment introduced in November 2013, in addition to other changes, IASB eliminated the date of obligatory first adoption in the standard previously fixed at January 1st 2015. This date will be re-introduced with the publication of a full standard at the conclusion of the project on IFRS 9.
  • On January 30th 2014, the IASB published IFRIC 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts". The standard establishes the option for first-time adopters operating in a regulated tariff sector to continue to recognise in the first and subsequent IFRS financial statements - with certain limited changes - the "regulatory assets and liabilities" under the previous local GAAP; in addition, the assets and liabilities from regulatory activities and their movements are presented separately in the balance sheet, in the income statement and in the comprehensive income statement and specific disclosure must be provided in the explanatory notes. The standard is effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2016.
  • On May 6th 2014, the IASB issued the "Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements)" document. The amendments to IFRS 11, applied from periods beginning or subsequent to January 1st 2016, clarify the method for recognition of holdings acquired in a joint operation.
  • On May 12th 2014, the IASB published a document "Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)" in

order to clarify that a depreciation and amortisation method based on the revenues generated by an asset (revenue-based method) is not considered appropriate as exclusively reflecting the revenue streams generated from the assets and not, in fact, the manner of consumption of the economic benefits of the asset. These clarifications are effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2016.

  • On May 28th 2014, the IASB published "IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The standard establishes the criteria for the recognition of revenues from the sale of products or the supply of services through the introduction of the so-called five-step model framework; in addition, specific information concerning the nature, the amount, the timing and the uncertainties relating to revenues and cash flows deriving from the underlying contracts with clients must be provided in the explanatory notes. The standard is effective from periods beginning on or subsequent to January 1st 2017.
  • On August 12, 2014, the IASB published the document Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendments to IAS 27)". The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to measure investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in the separate financial statements.
  • On September 11, 2014, the IASB published the document "Sales or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28)", in order to resolve a conflict between IAS 28 and IFRS 10. According to IAS 28, the profit or loss from the sale or conferment of a non-monetary asset to a joint venture or associate in exchange for a share of the capital of this latter is limited to the share held by external investors to the transaction. On the other hand, IFRS 10 provides for the recognition of the entire profit or loss in the case of loss of control, also if the entity continues to hold a controlling holding, including also upon the sale or conferment of a subsidiary to a joint venture or associate. The amendments introduced provide that for the disposal/conferment of an asset or a subsidiary to a joint venture or associated company, the measurement of the profit or the loss to be recognised to the financial statements of the disposing company/conferring company depends on whether the asset or the subsidiary disposed of/conferred is a business as defined by IFRS 3. In the case in which the assets or the subsidiary disposed of/conferred are considered a business, the entity must recognise the profit of the loss on the entire share previously held; while in the

contrary case, the share of profit or loss concerning the stake still held by the entity must be eliminated.

  • On December 25, 2014, the IASB published the "Annual Improvements to IFRS: 2012-2014 Cycle". The amendments introduced concern the following standards: IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure, IAS 19 Employee Benefits, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
  • On December 18, 2014, the IASB published the document Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28). The amendment clarifies three issues concerning the consolidation of an investment entity.
  • On December 18, 2014, the IASB published a number of amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, in order to clarify some disclosure related aspects. The initiative is part of the Disclosure Initiative project to improve the presentation and communication of financial information in financial reports and to resolve a number of issues highlighted by operators.
  • On June 30, 2014, the IASB published a number of amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 concerning Bearer Plants. According to these amendments, cultivation may be recorded at cost instead of at fair value. Otherwise, the amount continues to be recognised at fair value.

Any effects that the newly applied accounting standards, amendments and interpretations may have on the Company financial disclosure are currently being evaluated.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Intangible assets with definite life

An intangible asset is a non-monetary asset, clearly identifiable and without physical substance, controllable and capable of generating future economic benefits.

These items, including patents, concessions, licences, trademarks and similar rights and software, are recorded at cost, including direct accessory costs necessary to render the asset available for use. For each intangible asset, on initial recognition the useful life is determined and re-examined annually and any changes are made in accordance with future estimates.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recognised net of the relative accumulated amortisation and any impairment in accordance with the procedures described below.

Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and is recognised on a systematic basis in relation to the residual use and thus over the useful life of the asset. In the first year of use the amortisation takes into account the period of its use in the year.

At the moment of sale or when no expected future economic benefits exist from the use of an intangible asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any loss or gain (calculated as the difference between the sales value and the net book value) is recorded in the income statement in the year of the above mentioned elimination.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including directly allocated accessory costs and those necessary for the asset being in the condition for which it was acquired, and increased, in the presence of current obligations, by the current value of the estimated cost for the disposal of the asset.

The financial charges directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset itself until the moment in which the asset is ready for expected use or sale.

The expenses incurred for the maintenance and repairs of an ordinary and/or cyclical nature are directly charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. The capitalisation of the costs relating to the expansion, modernisation or improvement of owned tangible assets or of those held in leasing, is made only when they satisfy the requirements to be separately classified as an asset or part of an asset in accordance with the component approach.

Property, plant and equipment are recorded net of the relative accumulated depreciation and any losses in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis according to the estimated useful life of the asset; useful life is reviewed annually and any changes, where necessary, are made on the basis of the new estimate. The principal depreciation rates applied are as follows:

USEFUL LIFE
PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
Buildings 33 years
General plant 10 years
Specific plant 7 years
Excavators, operating machines, internal transport 5 years
Light structures 8 years
Metallic moulds 4 years
Motor vehicles 4 years
Equipment 2.5 years
Office furniture and equipment 8 years

Land, both constructible and relating to civil and industrial buildings, is not depreciated as it has an unlimited useful life.

When the asset to be depreciated is composed of separately identifiable elements whose useful life differs significantly from the other parts of the asset, the depreciation is made separately for each part of the asset, with the application of the component approach principle.

At the moment of the sale or when no expected future economic benefits exist from the use of a tangible asset, it is eliminated from the financial statements and any gain or loss (calculated as the difference between the sales value and the book value) is recorded in the income statement in the year of the above mentioned elimination.

Investment property

Property held for rental returns or capital appreciation is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value and is not depreciated. The changes in the fair value are recognised in the income statement.

Fair value is measured based on the type of investment:

  • market value approach, or rather based on an analysis of a sample of identical recent real estate transactions located close to the asset in question. The value thus determined is then adjusted to take into account the specific features of the building or land;
  • cash flow projections discounted based on reliable estimates of future cash streams supported by rental income and/or other existing contracts.

Impairment losses

Periodically, property, plant and machinery and intangible assets with definite useful life are examined for the existence of events or changes which would indicate that the book value may not be recovered. If an indication of this type exists, the recoverable amount must be determined and, in the case in which the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, these assets are written down to reflect their recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of property, plant and machinery and intangible assets is the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, where the value in use refers to the current value of estimated future cash flows of the asset or, for assets that do not independently generate sufficient cash flows, of the group of assets that comprise the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

In defining the value of use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the specific risks of the activity.

A reduction in value is recognised in the income statement when the carrying value of the asset, or of the relative cash-generating unit to which it is allocated, is higher than the recoverable amount: the losses in value of cash generating units are firstly recognised as a reduction of other assets, in proportion to their carrying value.

This allocation has as its minimum limit, the highest value between:

  • the relative fair value of the asset less disposal costs;
  • the relative value in use, as defined above;
  • zero.

The impairments are recognised in the income statement under the account amortisation, depreciation and write down costs.

When the reasons for a write-down no longer exist on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the book value of the asset is restated through the income statement, up to the value at which the asset would be recognised if no write-down had taken place and amortisation had been recognised.

Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies

Subsidiaries are considered all companies for which Vianini Lavori SpA is exposed to variable income streams or when possessing rights to such income streams, based on the relationship with the entity, and at the same time has the capacity to affect such income steams through the exercise of its power.

Associated companies are companies in which Vianini Lavori SpA has a significant influence, which is presumed to exist when the percentage held is between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.

In the evaluation of control and significant influence, consideration is also taken of the potential voting rights that are effectively exercisable or convertible.

The above-mentioned equity investments are recognised at cost adjusted for any loss in value.

Losses in value are recognised in the income statement and can be restated where the reasons for their write-down no longer exist. Where the loss pertaining to the company exceeds the book value of the investment, and where the holding is committed to comply with legal or implicit obligations of the company or in any case to cover the losses, the book value is written down and any excess is recorded in a specific risk provision.

Receivables for contract work in progress

The construction contracts in progress are valued according to the contractual payments matured with reasonable certainty in relation to the state of advancement of works, through the percentage of completion criteria, determined through the cost to cost method.

The valuations reflect the best estimate of works made at the reporting date. Periodically, the assumptions underlying the measurements are updated. Any derivative economic effects are measured in the year in which they are made.

Order revenues include:

in addition to the amounts paid under contract, the order modifications, the price reviews, the incentives, as far as considered probable and which may be reliably measured, in application of IAS 11 "construction contracts". In this regard, the relative valuations were carried out with reference to:

  • specific regulation concerning public works and the international regulation;
  • contractual clauses;
  • the state of advancement of negotiations with the purchaser and the probability of a positive outcome from these negotiations;

• where necessary, as a result of the complexity of the specific facts, assessments of a technical-legal nature carried out also with the support of external consultants, in order to verify the assessments carried out.

Order costs include:

all costs referring directly to the order, costs attributable to the order activity in general and which may be allocated to the same order, in addition to any other cost which may be specifically recharged to the granting party according to the contract.

Costs also include:

  • pre-operative costs, i.e. costs incurred in the initial phase of the contract before the beginning of construction works (tender preparation costs, design costs, costs for the organisation and start-up of production, site installation costs), in addition to

  • post-operative costs, incurred after the conclusion of the order (site clearance, return of machinery/plant to company facilities, insurance etc.), and finally

  • costs for any services to be carried out after the completion of works, paid within the order contract, (for example periodic maintenance, assistance and supervision in the initial start-up periods of the individual works).

In addition, the order costs are included under financial charges, as permitted by the amendment to IAS 11 in relation to IAS 23, in relation to loans specifically concerning the works executed. During the tender process in fact, on the basis of specific rules, particular payment conditions had already been defined which required the Group to utilise structured finance operations for the capital invested in the order, whose charges impact the calculation of the relative consideration.

Where the completion of an order may give rise to a loss, such will be recognised in its entirety in the period in which such is reasonably expected.

Where the outcome of the construction contract may not be estimated reliably, the value of the works in progress is measured on the basis of the costs incurred, where these may reasonably be recovered, without recognition of the margin.

Where following the reporting date events emerged, favourable or unfavourable, concerning existing situations at that date, the amounts recognised to the financial statements are adjusted to reflect the consequent financial statement effects.

The contract order work in progress is stated, net of any write-downs and/or losses on completion, in addition to advances concerning the contract in course of execution.

In this latter regard, the amounts invoiced on the individual state of advancement of works (Accounts) were recognised as a reduction of the gross value of the order, where applicable, or any excess in the liability. On the other hand, the invoicing of advances concerns financial events and are not recognised for revenue recognition purposes. Therefore advances representing a mere financial fact are always recognised to liabilities as not received against the works executed. These advances however have reduced progressively, only on the basis of contractual agreements, against the amounts from time to time invoiced in relation to the specific order.

The above-stated analyses were carried out order by order: where a positive differential emerges (due to works in progress greater than the amount of advances), the differences are classified to the account "Assets for works in progress"; where this difference is negative the difference is classified among liabilities to the account "Liabilities for work in progress".

Financial assets

The financial assets are classified, on initial recognition, in one of the following categories and measured as follows:

available-for-sale financial assets: the available-for-sale assets are non-derivative financial instruments explicitly designated in this category and are classified under noncurrent assets unless management has the intention to sell them within 12 months from the balance sheet date. These financial assets are valued at fair value and the valuation gains or losses are allocated to net equity through the Comprehensive Income Statement. They are recognised in the income statement only when the financial asset is sold, or, in the case of negative cumulative changes, when it is considered that the reduction in value already recorded under equity can not be recovered and when a long-term loss in value is established.

The Company, taking account of the types of shares held, established that the quantitative limits utilised to identify the necessity for an impairment procedure are for a decrease in the fair value at the balance sheet date of above 50% compared to the original book value or a decrease in the fair value below the initial recording for 60 consecutive months.

Financial assets are eliminated from the balance sheet when the right to receive the cash flows from the instrument ceases and the Company has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument and the relative control.

When the fair value cannot be determined reliably, the cost value is maintained, adjusted for any losses in value. These losses for reduction in value may not be restated;

loans and receivables: they are financial instruments, principally relating to loans and trade receivables, non-derivative, not listed on an active market, from which fixed or determinable payments are expected. They are classified as current assets (when the due date is within the normal commercial terms) except for amounts due beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. On initial recognition these assets are measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost, on the basis of the effective interest rate. When there is an indication of a reduction in value, the asset is reduced to the

value of the discounted future cash flows obtainable. The losses in value are recorded in the income statement. When, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the write-down no longer exist, the value of the assets is restated up to the value deriving from the application of the amortised cost where no write-down had been applied.

Financial assets are derecognised from the balance sheet when the right to receive the cash flows from the instrument ceases and the Company has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument and the relative control.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are those concerning loans, trade payables and other obligations to be paid. On initial recognition, they are recorded at fair value, net of directly attributable accessory costs.

Thereafter, they are measured under the amortised cost criteria, using the effective interest rate method. When there is a change in the expected cash flows and it is possible to estimate them reliably, the values of liabilities are recalculated to reflect this change based on the new current value of the expected cash flows and of the internal yield initially determined.

The financial liabilities are classified under current liabilities, except when the Company has an unconditional right to defer their payment for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Financial liabilities are eliminated from the balance sheet when they expire and the Company has transferred all the risks and rewards relating to the instrument.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are accounted at fair value and include bank deposits and cash in hand, or rather those values that are available on demand at short notice, certain in nature and with no payment expenses.

Fair value hierarchy levels

In relation to the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet at Fair Value, IFRS 13 requires that these values are classified based on a hierarchy of levels which reflects the degree of input utilised in the determination of the Fair Value. The following levels are used:

  • Level 1: determination of fair value based on prices listed on active markets for identical assets or liabilities which the entity can access at the valuation date;
  • Level 2: determination of fair value based on other inputs than the listed prices included in "Level 1" but which are directly (prices) or indirectly (derivatives of prices) observable for the assets or liabilities;
  • Level 3: determination of the Fair Value based on valuation models whose input is not observable for the assets or liabilities.

For information on the Fair Value hierarchy level, reference should be made to Note 26.

Net Equity

Share capital

The share capital is the amount of the subscribed and paid-in capital of the Company. The costs strictly related to the issue of new shares are classified, net of any deferred fiscal effect, in a separate reserve as a reduction of net equity.

Employee benefits

The liabilities relating to the benefits recognised to employees and paid on or after the employment period and relating to defined benefit plans (Employee Leaving Indemnity), net of any assets serving the plan, are determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions estimating the amount of the future benefits that the employees have matured at the balance sheet date. The liability is recognised on an accruals basis over the maturity period of the right.

In relation to the Employee leaving indemnity, following the amendments to Law No.296 of December 27th 2006 and subsequent Decrees and Regulations ("Pension Reform") issued in the first months of 2007, it is noted that:

the employee leaving indemnity matured at December 31st 2006 continues to be considered as a defined benefit plan;

the employee leaving indemnity matured from January 1st 2007, for Italian companies with a number of employees above 50, is considered a defined contribution plan.

The determination of the current value of the Company commitments is made by an independent expert using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, a future projection is made of the liability to determine the probable amount to be paid on the termination of employment and then discounted, to take into account the period of time which

will pass before the actual payment. The calculation takes into account the employee leaving indemnity matured and is based on actuarial assumptions which principally relate to the interest rate, which reflects the market return of primary securities with maturities similar to those for bonds and the turnover of employees.

For the quota of the employee leaving indemnity allocated to the integrated pension or rather the INPS fund from the date of the option exercised by the employee, the Company is not a debtor of the employee indemnity provision matured after December 31st 2006, and therefore the actuarial calculation of the employee leaving indemnity excludes the component relating to future salary changes.

The actuarial gains and losses, defined as the difference between the carrying value of the liabilities and the present value of the Company commitments at the end of the period, due to changes in the actuarial assumptions based on past experience, are directly recorded to other items of the Comprehensive Income Statement.

The financial component is however recorded in the Income Statement, in the account financial charges.

Provisions for risks and charges

Provisions for risks and charges are recognised in respect of certain or probable losses or liabilities, the amount or due date of which could not be determined at year-end.

Provisions for risks and charges are recognised when, at the balance sheet date, a legal or implicit obligation exists that derives from a past event and a payment of resources is a probable requirement to satisfy the obligation, and the amount of this payment can be estimated. When the financial effect of the time is significant and the payment dates of the obligations can be reliably estimated, the provision shall be discounted; the increase of the provision due to the passing of time is recognised as a financial expense. If the liability relates to a tangible asset, the counterparty of the provision is recognised under the asset to which it refers; the recognising of the charge to the income statement is made through the process of depreciation of the tangible asset to which the charge refers to.

Revenues other than from contract work in progress

Revenues are recognised in accordance with the probability that they will provide economic benefits and the amount can be determined reliably. The revenues are recognised at the fair value of the amount received less VAT, returns, premiums and discounts.

In particular, the revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks

and benefits of the ownership of the assets are transferred to the purchaser.

Revenues for services are recognised when the services are provided, with reference to the amount of the service rendered in relation to the amount still to be rendered.

Financial income and charges

Financial income and expenses are recognised in accordance with the accruals concept on the basis of the interest matured on the net value of the relative financial assets and liabilities utilising the effective interest rate, therefore utilising the rate which is financially equivalent to all the cash inflows and outflows which comprise an operation. Therefore, in relation to capitalised financial charges, reference should be made to the measurement criteria of property, plant and machinery.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the right of the shareholders to receive the payment is established, which normally corresponds to the shareholders' meeting resolution for their distribution. The distribution of dividends is therefore recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the distribution is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are calculated on the basis of assessable income and in accordance with current legislation; consideration is also taken of the effects deriving from the national fiscal consolidation, in which the Company transfers to the Parent Company Caltagirone SpA its IRES balance.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated on temporary differences between the book values and the corresponding values recognised for fiscal purposes, based on the tax rates and the tax regulations in force or substantially in force at the date of the preparation of financial statements.

The recognition of deferred tax assets is made when their recovery is probable - that is when it is expected that there will be future assessable fiscal income sufficient to recover the asset. The recovery of the deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date.

Current and deferred income taxes are recorded in the income statement, except those relating to accounts directly credited or debited to equity, in which case the fiscal effect is recognised directly to equity. Current and deferred taxes are compensated when the income

tax is applied by the same fiscal authority, there is a legal right of compensation and the payment of the net balance is expected.

Other taxes not related to income, such as taxes on property, are included under "Other operating expenses".

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements require the Directors to apply accounting principles and methods that, in some circumstances, are based on difficulties and subjective valuations and estimates based on the historical experience and assumptions which are from time to time considered reasonable and realistic based on the relative circumstances. The application of these estimates and assumptions impact upon the amounts reported in the financial statements, such as the financial situation and balance sheet, the income statement and the cash flow statement, and on the disclosures in the notes to the accounts. The final outcome of the accounts in the financial statements, which use the above-mentioned estimates and assumptions, may differ from those reported in the subsequent financial statements due to the uncertainty which characterises the assumptions and conditions upon which the estimates are based. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are recognised in the income statement.

The accounting standards and accounts in the financial statements which require greater subjectivity in the preparation of the estimates and for which a change in the underlying conditions of the assumptions used may have a significant impact on the financial statements are as follows:

Income taxes: income taxes (current and deferred) are determined based on a prudent interpretation of the tax laws in force. This process may involve complex estimates in the determination of the assessable income and the temporary differences between the accounting and tax values. In particular, the valuation for the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, in relation to tax losses utilisable in subsequent years, and on temporary deductible differences, takes account of the estimates of expected future assessable income.

Doubtful debt provision: the recoverability of receivables is valued taking account of the non-payment risk, of aging of receivables and of the losses recorded in the past on similar receivables.

Employee benefits: the Post-employment provisions are calculated based on actuarial assumptions; changes in these assumptions may have significant effects on this provision.

Revenues: revenues are recognised based on the amounts paid in proportion to the state of advancement of works. The estimate of the forecast contract margin is a complex valuation process which includes the identification of various risks related to the operating activities, the market conditions and all other elements necessary to establish future costs and expected timelines for the completion of the project.

Risk provision for works in progress: the Company operates in business sectors with complex contractual conditions; to better support estimates, the Company has adopted contract risk analysis management procedures which identify, monitor and quantify risks relating to the execution of these contracts.

  • Legal dispute provision: provisions relating to disputes are based on a process which establishes the probability of loss.
  • Revenues: revenues are recognised based on the amounts paid in proportion to the state of advancement of works. The estimate of the forecast contract margin is a complex valuation process which includes the identification of various risks related to the operating activities, the market conditions and all other elements necessary to establish future costs and expected timelines for the completion of the project.

Change of accounting principles, errors and change of estimates

The accounting principles adopted are amended from one period to another only if the change is required by a standard and if this contributes to providing more reliable information on the effects of the operations on the balance sheet, income statement and cash flows of the enterprise.

The changes to the accounting standards are recorded retrospectively with the recording of the effect to net equity for the more remote periods reported. The other comparative amounts indicated for each period are adjusted as if the new standard had always been applied. The prospective approach is made only when it is impractical to reconstruct the comparative information.

The application of a new or amended accounting standard is accounted for in accordance with the requirements of the standard. If the standard does not permit a transition period, the change is accounted in accordance with the retrospective method, or if impractical, with the prospective method.

2014 Annual Report Vianini Lavori SpA 125

In the case of significant errors, the same method that is used for changes in accounting standards illustrated previously is applied. In the case of non-significant errors, these are accounted for in the income statement in the period in which they are noted.

Changes in estimates are accounted in accordance with the prospective method in the Income Statement in the period in which the change occurs only if impacting upon this latter or in the period in which the change occurs, and subsequent periods if the change also impacts upon future periods.

Risk Management

The activities of Vianini Lavori SpA are subject to various financial risks: market risks (raw materials prices), credit risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The management of the financial risks of the company is undertaken through organisational directives which govern the management of these risks and the control of all operations which have importance in the composition of the financial and/or commercial assets and liabilities.

The Company has a minimal exposure to interest rate risk, which only affects the returns on liquidity held by the Company. Exchange rate risk is not considered a factor as operations and revenues exclusively relate to Italy, in addition to the principal costs.

The Company does not have particularly significant Credit risks. The operating procedures permit a control of the risk connected to the receivable, limiting the sales of products and/or services to clients without an adequate level of credit lines or guarantees.

Therefore, the maximum credit risk exposure is represented by the carrying value in the accounts.

The company is exposed in a non-significant manner to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and services; this risk is, in fact, managed by the operating companies of the company, through recourse to a wide range of suppliers which permits the obtaining of the best market conditions and the agreement, where possible, of tender contracts with conditions containing risks related to the prices of raw materials.

The Company has not used derivative financial instruments, nor do specific financial risks exist in relation to price, credit or liquidity (other than that deriving from the operating activities).

Existing regulations and laws are rigorously applied to workplace health and security and hence govern this area of risk.

Total 505,413 104 (8) 2,732 508,241

Subsidiary companies: The increase of Euro 2.73 million concerns the write-back of the investments in So.Fi.Cos. Srl (Euro 111 thousand) and Viafin Srl (Euro 2.62 million) to restore the carrying value, as the reasons for the loss in value recorded in previous years of shares held in portfolio no longer exist.

The acquisition for Euro 14 thousand concerns the investment upon incorporation in the Company Metrofc Scarl, for 70% of the share capital.

Associated companies: The increase of Euro 91 thousand concerns the increase in the investment in the Company Tor Vergata Scarl (Euro 77 thousand) following the acquisition of Euro 0.766% of the share capital, the reclassification to associated companies of the investment in the Company Riviera Scarl (Euro 10 thousand), following the increase in the investment to 20.702% as a result of the acquisition of a further share of 3.838%. The remaining Euro 3 thousand concerns the share capital increase of the company Rofin 2008 S.r.l., entirely written-down in the previous year.

Other companies: The decrease of Euro 8 thousand follows the reclassification of the investment in Riviera Scarl to Associated Companies, as stated previously.

7) INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between the assessable taxable income and the result from the financial statements.

Deferred tax assets amounted to Euro 747 thousand (Euro 718 thousand at December 31st 2013). The temporary differences that resulted in the recording of deferred tax assets relate to non tax deductible provisions.

There are no fiscal losses carried forward.

The deferred tax liabilities amounting to Euro 643 thousand (Euro 638 thousand at December 31st 2013) principally arise on the future fiscal deductibility of the increases in property values following their fair value valuation (Euro 323 thousand).

In relation to a notification pursuant to Article 37 bis of Presidential Decree 600/1973 following an inspection by the Finance Department of the subsidiary Viafin Srl concerning tax year 2006, on December 5th 2014 a total payment request of Euro 1,551,701.12 was notified, following the unfavourable judgement against the company by the Rome Provincial Tax Commission, by the Tax Office and also to Vianini Lavori SpA in its position as consolidating company of Viafin Srl.. Following this judgment, both the Company and the Subsidiary presented on February 11th 2015 an appeal at the Regional Tax Commission. It is expected that this appeal will result in a favourable outcome and the Directors, supported by their tax advisers, consider the risk of any financial liability remote and, consequently, have not accrued any provision in the accounts. The Rome Provincial Tax Commission has not yet set a date for the appeal hearing.
