Values in Euro million
This positive performance was the result of the significant investments made by the Group during the recent years and in particular those in research and development aimed to the renewal of the product presence on several geographic markets. A further accelerator of this growth has been the building of the new HQTC (Headquarters & Technology Centre) in Collegno (Torino). The HQTC, where all the Group product lines are exposed, was inaugurated at the end of May 2016 and continues to be visited by many customers from all over the world, contributing significantly to the Group orders acquisition.

FORESEEABLE DEVELOPMENTS OF MANAGEMENT
Although the first quarter of the year is seasonally weak, the first quarter of 2017 saw good results from the PRIMA POWER division. This was also down to the excellent performance in North America and China and the recovery seen in the PRIMA ELECTRO division, resulting from increased volumes of fibre lasers delivered. On the basis of our strong order book, confirmation of the positive climate on the market, we expect the growth trend to continue into the next quarters of the year.

CHAPTER 7. EXPLANATORY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31ST, 2017
ACCOUNTING TABLES FORM AND CONTENT
The Interim Management Report of the Prima Industrie Group at March 31st , 2017 was prepared on the basis that it is an ongoing concern and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and with applicable Italian statutory regulations.
The report includes the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Comprehensive Income Statement, the Cash Flow Statement, the Changes in Shareholders' Equity and the Explanatory Notes.
From the financial year 2017, the company presents the income statement according to functional areas, otherwise referred to as "at cost of the sale". This cost analysis is based on cost destination and is considered more representative than expenditure type. The form chosen conforms to internal reporting and business management procedures and is in line with international practice within the sector in which the Group operates.
"Cost of the sale" includes costs relating to the functional areas that participated directly or indirectly to the generation of revenues with the sale of goods and services. It includes all costs of materials, processing and overheads directly related to production.
DRAFTING PRINCIPLES AND CRITERIA
Accounting criteria and principles of consolidation
The accounting criteria and principles of consolidation adopted for setting out the abbreviated consolidated balance sheet at March 31st, 2017 are compatible with those used for the consolidated annual balance sheet at December 31st, 2016, to which reference is made subject to the new standards/interpretations adopted by the Group starting from January 1st, 2017, as well as the adjustments required by the nature of the interim findings.
On-going concern
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31st, 2017 has been set out on the assumption of the company continuing trading in that it is reasonably expected that PRIMA INDUSTRIE will continue with its operational activities in the foreseeable future.
Use of accounting estimates
The drawing up of an interim balance sheet requires the carrying out of estimates and assumptions which have effect on the values of revenues, costs, assets and liabilities of the balance sheet and on the information report relating to the potential assets and liabilities on the date of the interim balance sheet. If in the future, such estimates and assumptions which are based on the best evaluation by management, should differ through effective circumstances, they will be modified in an appropriate manner in the period in which the circumstance themselves vary. In particular, with regard to the condensed consolidated balance sheet of March 31st, 2017, the taxes on income for the period of the individual consolidated companies are determined on the basis of the best estimate possible in relation to the available information, and on a reasonable forecast of the progress of the financial year up to the end of the tax period.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
The tangible fixed assets on March 31st, 2017 are equal to 34,761 thousand Euro, a decrease of 520 thousand Euro compared with December 31st, 2016.
The intangible assets on March 31st, 2017 are equal to 154,368 thousand Euro and decreased by 1,345 thousand Euro compared with December 31st, 2016. The most significant item is represented by Goodwill, which on March 31st, 2017 amounts to 103,221 thousand Euro.

The table below shows the book value of the goodwill allocated to each of the units generating financial flow.
| CASH GENERATING UNIT | BOOK VALUE GOODWILL March 31, 2017 |
BOOK VALUE GOODWILL December 31, 2016 |

Goodwill (being an asset with an undefined life) is not subject to depreciation and is subject to verification at least annually of the reduction of value (impairment test). On December 31st, 2016 the Group carried out the impairment test on the value of the main elements of goodwill (PRIMA POWER, OSAI-Service and PRIMA ELECTRO NORTH AMERICA), for which attention is drawn to the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31st, 2016. Regarding the above mentioned goodwill, as no indicators of loss in value have appeared compared with the financial statements closed on December 31st, 2016, it was not considered necessary to update the related impairment tests.
The Deferred Tax Assets amounts to 12,702 thousand Euro, showing an increase compared with the preceding financial year of 1,147 thousand Euro. The accounting statement of prepaid taxes has been carried out, only where suppositions of recoverability exist. The valuation on the recoverability of anticipated taxes takes into account the expected profits in future financial years. The anticipated taxes calculated on the losses carried forward have been recognized in the measure at which it is probable that a future taxable income against which they might be recovered. During the first half of 2016 no elements have been identified which could modify the valuations made with regard to the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

The remaining 325 thousand EUR refers to some properties under construction held by the Company FINN-POWER ITALIA Srl located in Mantua, Italy. All assets classified in this category are available for immediate sale, which is very likely to take place since the Management has engaged in a divestment programme.
