This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

The first nine months of 2013 recorded consolidated gross sales of Euro 543.3 million, with an

increase of Euro 47.7 million, or 9.6%, compared to the same period of the last year. The gross

sales’ increase was almost entirely due to growth of the Eastern Europe and Italian operating

segments.

Indeed in Switzerland, gross sales increased of Euro 1.4 million (+4.5%) compared to 30 September

2012; in Italy the increase of Euro 14.2 million (+5.7%) was mainly due to the increase in sales of

the parent company Rhiag – Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A.; in Eastern Europe the increase of Euro

35.0 million (+15.6%) is due to the organic growth both of the Group Elit and the Group Auto

Kelly.

The incidence of direct selling costs in relation to gross sales, equal to 5.1%, has decreased

compared to the same period of last year mainly.

Cost of goods sold includes the purchase cost of goods for sale, the change in inventory and

personnel costs. As at 30 September 2013 cost of goods sold amounted to Euro 416.4 million

compared to Euro 375.9 million of the first nine months of 2012. The incidence of cost of goods

sold on gross sales increased from 75.9% in 2012 to 76.6% in 2013.

This deterioration was the result of the combined effect of several factors: the increase in costs for

materials (including changes in inventory) as a percentage of gross sales compared to prior year

mainly because of rising competitive pressure on selling prices on all markets where the Group

operates; Euro 4.0 million increase in personnel costs in absolute terms mainly because of the

increased number of employees due to the opening of new branches in Eastern European countries.

Distribution costs as at 30 September 2013 amounted to Euro 24.2 million, substantially in line with

the same period of 2012.

Administrative costs for the first nine months of 2013 amounted to Euro 12.2 million, with an

increase of Euro 1.9 million compared to 30 September 2012 (+18.5%) due to the non-recurring

costs for law and consulting diligence.

Other operating costs for the first nine months of 2013 amounted to Euro 2.3 million, with a

decrease of Euro 1.1 million compared to the same period of the last year (-32.2%). The decrease

was mainly due to the gain accrued from the sale of the building settled in Baar, owned by Rhiag

Group Ltd, occurred on September 2013.

As at 30 September 2013, net financial income totaled Euro 11.1 million, with a deterioration

compared to Euro 9.9 million as of 30 September 2012. This variation is explained by the analysis

of the main component items set out below.

This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

Bank loan interest expenses decreased by approximately Euro 1.2 million, mainly because of the

loan reduction as a consequence of scheduled repayments. The favorable trend in the Euribor at 1

and 6 months determined lower financial expenses for the Group.

Net exchange losses of Euro 1.8 million as at 30 September 2013 (in the first nine months of 2012

were positive for Euro 0.4 million), are mainly caused by the differences on unrealized effects of

the translation into Euro of some assets and liabilities of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

Taxes on income for the period amounted to Euro 12.4 million, which is Euro 0.7 million lower

than in 2012.

As a result of the above, net income for the period amounted to Euro 30.1 million, increasing if

compared to Euro 27.6 million as of the 30 September 2012.

Finally, Adjusted EBITDA, i.e. operating profit before depreciation and amortization, impairment

adjustments to goodwill and other assets and non-recurring operating income/expenses, totaled Euro

62.4 million for the first nine months of 2013, with an increase compared to Euro 57.7 as of 30

September 2012.

The decrease of cash flow generated in the first nine months of 2013 compared to the same period

of 2012 is mainly due to lower cash flow generated from operating activities, due to higher

investments in working capital considering the widening of products range and the increased days

of sales outstanding. During the 2013 the Group continued its investments in working capital in

order to support the growth of sales and paid its suppliers in accordance with a plan which allowed

to obtain more economic benefits in terms of discounts.

Significant events during the first nine months of 2013

In March 2013, Rhiag - Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. submitted a request for the refund of

additional IRES paid in the fiscal years 2007-2011 following changes to the rules on the deduction

if IRAP (Regional Business Tax) for IRES purposes in relation to personnel costs and similar costs

(in terms of Article 2(1-iv) of Decree Law no 2011 of 6 December 2011). The Italian companies

have requested the refund of overpaid taxes totaling Euro 1.2 million.

On March 2013 the 1st, it was received a notice of assessment for the year 2008 referring to the

Processo Verbale di Constatazione ("PVC") which was notified on 1st December 2010 to Rhiag -

Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. at the conclusion of a tax audit, for VAT and direct taxes purposes,

which referred to the tax year 2008 for interest expense deriving from the "Multicurrency term and

revolving facilities agreement" used for the acquisition and refinancing of the Group Rhiag.

Consistently with the information reported in the Management Report of the Consolidated Financial

Statements as at 31 December 2012, the appeal against the notice of assessment for the year 2008

has been prepared and filed timely, considering unfounded the findings contained in both the

notices of assessment. Therefore, it was not considered necessary to make provisions in respect of

that tax audit as it is intended to qualify the risk of a negative outcome of the dispute between the

"remote" and "possible."

In the case of outbreaks of other risks for the future or variations of the qualification of the risk, it

will be evaluated the appropriateness of any provisions after estimating the probability of

verification of contractual and legal risks. The use of such amounts will depend on the moment and

the extent on which the risk had been estimated.

During the month of April 2013, it was launched a mobility procedure for the reorganization and

the pre-retirement, which involved Rhiag - Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. and Bertolotti S.p.A., for a

total maximum of 35 employees redundant.

On June 2013, the sales store settled in Barletta of the subsidiary Centro Ricambi Rhiag S.r.l. has

been closed.

On August 2013, the Company obtained the issuance of injunctive reliefs to Autoscocca Italiana

S.r.l., intermediary entity in the car fleets management business for Arval Service Lease Italia

S.p.A., subsequently the litigation to collect the due receivables. In order to retain the business

relationships with Arval a framework agreement was signed: Rhiag was granted of an entry bonus

of Euro 1.7 million (including VAT) and payment conditions were defined both for Rhiag and

Bertolotti better than the ones in place with Autoscocca Italiana S.r.l.. During the period, provision

This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

for bad debt of Euro 1.8 million was accrued related to the expired receivables to Autoscocca

Italiana S.r.l..

On September 2013, the sales of the building settled in Baar, owned by Rhiag Group Ltd, occurred.

Significant events after the closing date of the period

In September 2013, the Company approved the refinancing of the bank debt of Rhiag - Inter Auto

Parts Italy S.p.A. and its subsidiaries under the loan agreement with ING Bank - Milan branch,

through the issuance of guaranteed non-convertible bond. The bonds would be diverted to trading

on one or more regulated markets or multilateral trading systems in Europe.

In October 2013, the shareholder Lanchester S.A. informed the Company of the stipulation,

effective on 9 October 2013, of a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the SPA) for the entire share

capital of the Company between Rhino Midco 2 Limited (British company owned by funds advised

by Apax Partners LLP) and Lanchester S.A.. The purchaser wanted to define the operation with the

issuance of a bond for the total amount of Euro 415.0 million, which proceeds would be utilized to

finance the acquisition of the share capital of the Company and to make available the financial

resources, through the intercompany loans, to the Company and its subsidiaries Bertolotti S.p.A.

and Auto Kelly a.s. to repay the loan with ING Bank - Milan branch. Thus, the Company decided to

interrupt the negotiations related the issuance of the bond, discussed during the Board of Directors

Meetings of 21 June 2013 and of 29 July 2013 and approved during the Board of Directors Meeting

of 26 September 2013, considering that the collected financial resources would be reimbursed after

few weeks with issuance costs and early repayment penalties greater than those due in the event of

earlier termination than the issuance.

On 16 December 2013, the company Rhino Bidco S.p.A., indirectly controlled by Rhino 2 Midco

Limited, has followed the agreement signed October 9, 2013 and took the control of the entire share

capital of the Company.

As effect of the change of control, in the same day the Company repaid the entire long-term loan to

ING Bank - Milan branch, also through subsidiaries Bertolotti S.p.A. and Auto Kelly a.s.. The

transaction, together with the available financial resources within the Group, was financed through

additional financial provision received from Rhino Bondco S.p.A. (the direct parent company of

Rhino Bidco S.p.A.) through intercompany loans granted to Rhiag - Inter Auto Parts Italy S.p.A.,

Bertolotti S.p.A. and Auto Kelly a.s. for a total amount of Euro 191.8 million.

For this reason, on 5 November 2013 Rhino Bondco S.p.A. issued a bond for the total amount of

Euro 415.0 million: the collection was utilized to finance the acquisition of the share capital of the

Company and to make available the financial resources, through the intercompany loans, to the

Company and its subsidiaries Bertolotti S.p.A. and Auto Kelly a.s. to repaid the loan with ING

Bank - Milan branch.

Operating performance and business outlook

The Group's business is focused on the commercialization of spare parts for cars and commercial

vehicles in the Italian, Swiss and Eastern European markets.

The Group aims to increase its market share by leveraging the strong skills developed over the

years, that many competitors, especially those smaller in size, have not been able to develop in a

similar way. In fact, the latter often cannot rely on the infrastructure, expertise and critical mass

needed to effectively tackle the growing complexity of the independent aftermarket.

In the third quarter of 2013, the Italian macroeconomic environment has not changed and will not

provide significant improvement of the situation in the coming months. In this context Rhiag - Inter

Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. will continue in a generalized policy of cost saving, remaining focused on

growing its business aimed at increasing market share.

The companies operating in Eastern Europe have achieved more positive results than expected in

the first months of the year.

As for the Swiss market, it continues the expansion of the product offering, the strengthen of the

logistic network and the supply chain function.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 30.09.2013 EXPLANATORY NOTES

STANDARDS USED TO PREPARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2013 were prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) which have been endorsed by the European Union. IFRS also include all revised International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and all the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). The consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2013, prepared according to the International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, are based on the same accounting principles used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2012, except for what is described in paragraph Accounting Standards, amendments and interpretations in effect from 1 January 2013. The preparation of the consolidated interim financial reporting requires management to use estimates and assumptions which might affect the values of revenues, costs, assets and liabilities of the consolidated financial statements and the disclosure over contingent assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated interim financial statements. Whether in the future those estimates and assumptions, based on the best evaluation provided by the management, might differ from the effective results, the effects of each change to them is reflected in the consolidated income statement for the period in which the change occurs. It should be noted that certain estimative processes, in particular those regarding the determination of the possible loss of value of the non-current assets, are generally performed only for the purposes of the annual financial statements, when all the necessary information is available, except the cases when impairment indicators which require an immediate valuation of possible loss of value exist. Similarly, the provisions for employee benefits and agents indemnity, determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions, are prepared for the purposes of the annual financial statements. Income taxes are determined on the basis of the best estimation of the tax rates that are expected to be applicable in the year.

STRUCTURE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION The present consolidated interim financial statements consist of the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement for the period, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders’ equity. The consolidated statement of financial position is prepared with current and non-current assets and liabilities shown separately. The consolidated income statement is exposed by function (otherwise known as “the cost of goods sold” method), as this method is considered to be more representative than the “nature of expense” method. The chosen form reflects internal reporting and how the business is managed, and is in line with international practice in the automobile and automotive sector. The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes all the changes in the consolidated shareholders’ equity that took place during the period, as a result of transactions other than those with the shareholders. The Group has elected to represent such changes in a statement separate from the income statement. The changes to consolidated shareholders’ equity are presented before the related tax effects showing in a single item the comprehensive amount of income tax relating to those changes. The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared using the indirect method. The consolidated statement of changes to consolidated shareholders’ equity shows separately the results for the period and any other changes that did not pass through the income statement but were allocated directly to shareholders’ equity based on specific IAS/IFRS standards and transactions with shareholders. The consolidated interim financial statements as of 30 September 2013 compare the consolidated statement of comprehensive income with the same data of 2012. As for the consolidated statement of financial position it is compared to the same as of the 31 December 2012. All amounts shown in the consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of Euro, otherwise specified. Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2013 but not relevant to the Croup The following amendments, improvements and interpretations in effect from 1 January 2013 regulate matters and circumstances that did not apply within the Group at the date of these interim consolidated financial statements but which could have accounting effects on future transactions or agreements:

On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement which clarifies how fair value must be determined for financial reporting purposes and applies to all circumstances where

Rhiag – Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. - “Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 30.09.2013” Pag.21

This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

IFRS require or permit fair value measurement or the presentation of information based on fair value, with some limited exceptions. The standard also requires more extensive disclosures about fair value measurement (fair value hierarchy) than currently required by IFRS 7. The standard is applicable prospectively from 1 January 2013.

On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued several amendments to IFRS 7 - Financial instruments: disclosures. The amendments require further information on the effects or potential effects of the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position of an entity. The amendments are applicable to periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013. Information must be provided retrospectively.

IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine was published in October 2011 and applies to waste removal costs incurred in surface mining activities in the production phase of the mine.

On 17 May 2012, the IASB published the document Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2009-2011 Cycle which includes IFRS amendments resulting from the annual improvement process and concentrating on those amendments considered necessary but not urgent. Details of those amendments that will lead to a change in the presentation, recognition and measurement of items reported are described below while those that will merely lead to changes of terminology or editorial differences with a minimal effect in accounting terms have been omitted, as have those that affect standards or interpretations not applicable by the Group:

o IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements - Comparative information: clarifies that in cases where additional comparative information is provided, it shall be presented in accordance with IAS/IFRS. Also clarifies that when an entity changes its accounting policies or makes retrospective restatements or reclassifications, it shall also present an opening statement of financial position at the start of the comparative period ("third balance sheet") while the notes to the financial statements need not include comparative disclosures for this "third balance sheet", except for the items affected.

o IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment - Classification of servicing equipment: clarifies that servicing equipment shall be classified as Property, plant and equipment if used for more than one reporting period and as Inventory.

o IAS 32 Financial instruments: presentation - income taxes on distributions to equity holders and on transaction costs on equity instruments: clarifies that income taxes in such cases shall follow the rules laid down by IAS 12.

o IAS 34 Interim financial reporting - Total assets and liabilities for a reportable segment: clarifies that total assets and liabilities for a particular reportable segment need only be disclosed if such information is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker of the entity and there has been a material change in the total assets and liabilities of that reportable segment compared to the amount disclosed in the last annual financial statements.

On 19 March 2011, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - Government Loans which amends the treatment of government loans when adopting IFRS.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations effective from 1 January 2013 relevant to the Group The following paragraph have been applied for the first time by the Group from the 1 st January 2013: On 16 June 2011, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements

which requires entities to group together all items presented as Other comprehensive income/(losses) based on whether or not they can subsequently be reclassified to the income statement. The relative tax effect has to be allocated in the same way.

On 16 June 2011, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 19 - Employee benefits which eliminates the option to defer recognition of actuarial gains and losses under the corridor method, requiring that all actuarial gains and losses must be recorded immediately in Other Comprehensive Income so that the entire net amount of provisions for employee benefits (net of available plan assets) is shown in the consolidated statement of financial position. The amendments also require that changes from one year to the next in the provision for employee benefits and plan assets must be divided into three components: costs relating to employee service during the period must be recorded in the income statement as "service costs"; net financial expenses calculated applying the appropriate discount rate to the net amount of the provision for defined benefits less assets at the start of the period must be recorded in the income statement as such; and actuarial gains and losses arising from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities must be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. Moreover, the return on plan assets included in net financial expenses as above must be calculated based on the discount rate of the liabilities and no longer based on the expected return. Finally, the amendment introduces additional new disclosures that must be provided in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment is applicable retrospectively from the period commencing on or after 1 January 2013.

The Group has applied the IAS 19 (revised 2011) for the first time in 2013. Moreover, it needs to be noted that that accounting standard has been firstly applied by the Swiss subsidiary Rhiag Group Ltd in 2013 because the effects of this application were not relevant for the Group. As a consequence of this application (IAS 19 by Rhiag Group Ltd and the IAS 19 revised by the other Group’s companies), the Group has restated the comparative amounts as of January 1, 2012 and as of December 31, 2012 as described in the tables below:

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations which are not yet applicable and have not been adopted in advance by the Group On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements which will

replace SIC-12 Consolidation - Special purpose entities and parts of IAS 27 - Consolidated and separate financial statements which will be renamed Separate financial statements and will regulate the accounting treatment of investments in Separate financial statements. The main changes introduced by the new standard are as follows:

o Under IFRS 10, there is a sole basic principle for the consolidation of all types of entity and that principle is based on control. This change removes the perceived inconsistency between the former IAS 27 (based on control) and SIC 12 (based on the transfer of risks and benefits);

o An improved definition of control has been introduced, as based on three factors: (a) power over the entity acquired; (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the entity acquired; (c) ability to use power to influence the amount of such returns;

o IFRS 10 requires an investor, when determining if it has control over the entity acquired, to focus on activities that significantly influence returns from the investee entity;

o IFRS 10 states that when the existence of control is being evaluated, only substantive rights shall be considered i.e. those rights that are exercisable in practice when decisions relevant to the entity acquired must be taken;

o IFRS 10 provides guidelines for use in determining whether control exists in complex situations such as de facto control, potential voting rights, situations where it must be established if the party with decision making power is acting as agent or principal, etc.

In general terms, application of IFRS 10 requires a significant amount of judgment to be used in relation to a number of issues.

The Standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. The Group has not yet performed an analysis of the impact of this new Standard on its scope of consolidation.

On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements, which will replace IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 -Jointly controlled entities - Non-monetary contributions by ventures. Without affecting the criteria for determining whether joint control exists, the new standard provides criteria for use in identifying joint arrangements based on rights and obligations

arising from such arrangements rather than on their legal form. It also establishes the equity method as the sole method for use in accounting for interests in jointly controlled entities in consolidated financial statements. Under IFRS11, the existence of a separate vehicle entity is not a sufficient condition for a joint arrangement to be classified as a joint venture. The new standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014. Since the issue of IFRS 11, IAS 28 - Investments in associates has been amended to include interests in jointly controlled entities in its scope of application from the effective date of the standard. The Group has not yet performed an analysis of the effects of applying this new standard.

On 12 May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12 - Disclosure of interests in other entities which is a new and complete standard on disclosures required in consolidated financial statements on all types of interest, including those in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated special purpose entities and other vehicle entities. The standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2014.

On 28 June 2012, the IASB published the document Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12). First of all, the document aims to clarify the Board's intentions with regard to the transition rules for IFRS 10 Consolidated financial reporting. The document clarifies that, for entities whose reporting period coincides with the calendar year and first time application of IFRS 10 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, the date of initial application shall be 1 January 2013. If the conclusions reached with regard to the scope of consolidation are the same under IAS 27 and SIC 12 and under IFRS 10 at the date of initial application, the entity shall have no obligations. Likewise, no obligation shall arise if the investment was sold during the comparative period (and was, therefore, no longer present at the date of initial application). The document aims to clarify how an investor must retrospectively restate the comparative period(s) if the conclusions regarding the scope of consolidation are not the same under IAS 27 /SIC 12 and IFRS 10 at the date of initial application. In particular, when a retrospective restatement as defined above is no longer practicable, an acquisition/disposal shall be recorded at the start of the comparative period presented with the resulting adjustment recorded under retained earnings.

On 16 December 2011, the IASB issued several amendments to IAS 32 – Financial instruments: presentation to clarify the application of certain criteria for the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities included in IAS 32, effectively making it more difficult. The amendments are applicable retrospectively for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2014.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS not yet approved by the European Union At the reporting date, the relevant European Union bodies had not yet completed the approval process required for application of the following accounting standards and amendments: On 12 November 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9 - Financial instruments: the standard was

later amended on 28 October 2010. The standard is applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2015 and represents the first part of a step-by-step process that aims to replace IAS 39 entirely and introduce new criteria for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. For financial assets, the new standard uses an approach based on the methods of managing financial instruments and on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of financial assets to determine the valuation method, replacing the different rules provided for by IAS 39. Meanwhile, for financial liabilities, the main change regards the accounting treatment of

Rhiag – Inter Auto Parts Italia S.p.A. - “Interim Consolidated Financial Statements at 30.09.2013” Pag.25

This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

changes in the fair value of a financial liability designated as a financial liability at fair value through profit and loss if they are due to changes in the creditworthiness of the liability itself.. Under the new standard such changes must be recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and will no longer pass through the Income Statement. Steps two and three of the process regarding financial instruments, relating to impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting, respectively, are still in progress. The IASB is also evaluating some limited improvements to IFRS 9 with regard to the Classification and measurement of financial assets.

On 31 October 2012, the Board issued amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 "Investment Entities" which introduce an exception to the consolidation of entities controlled by investment entities, except for cases where the subsidiaries provide services that relate to the investment activities of such entities. When applying these amendments, an investment entity must measure its investments in subsidiaries at fair value through profit and loss. In order to be classified as an investment entity, an entity must:

o obtain funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with professional investment management services;

o commit to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both; and

o measure and evaluate the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.

These amendments apply to financial statements commencing on or after 1 January 2014 and early application is permitted.

On 20 May 2013, the Board issued amendments to IFRIC 21 – Levies, which defines the accounting treatment of the taxes paid to the Authorities (on the basis of specific jurisdiction’s law) without receiving any services back (i.e. specific good or service). The event that generates the obligation for the entity is generally specified in the law that introduces the event. A liability should be recognized at the realization of the event that generates the obligation, even if the tax/fee is calculated on a past performance (i.e. revenues of the previous year), the manifestation of past performance is a necessary condition, but not sufficient for the recording of a liability. The interpretation is applicable retrospectively for periods commencing from 1 January 2014.

On 29 May 2013, the Board has published the amendment on the IAS 36 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets, which limits the compel to point out in the disclosures the recoverable amount for non-financial assets or of the cash generating units (CGU); on the point, it should be noted that the IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” had modified the IAS 36, introducing the request to represent in the disclosures the recoverable amount of each (or each group of) cash generating unit which is credited of a relevant part of the net book value of goodwill or intangible assets with an undefined useful life. Moreover, that amendment explicitly requires to provide information about the discount rate used to determinate the impairment loss (or reversal) when the recoverable amount (calculated as fair value less cost to sell) is estimated with the present value’s method.

The caption includes also the net liability related to the pension plan of the subsidiary Rhiag Group Ltd. The controlled entity has entered into Collective Foundation plan entirely reinsured. The application of the IAS 19 revised has determined a net deficit between pension plan liabilities and fair value of plan asset as described below:

For the Italian subsidiaries, the actuarial valuation has been performed on the basis of the same actuarial assumptions adopted for the valuation made as of December 31, 2012. In Switzerland the actuarial variation has been performed on the following hypotheses:

This report has been translated into the English language solely for the convenience of International readers

Furthermore, the Group has performed sensitivity analysis to take into account the possible effects deriving from the reasonable changes of the most important assumptions for any actuarial valuation performed. In particular, with the reference to TFR actuarial valuation, it has been considered a change of discount rate equal to +/- 1% and, on the basis of this assumption, the liability would have been lower by Euro 645 thousand (with +1% of discount rate) or higher by Euro 756 thousand (with -1% of discount rate). With the reference to Swiss pension plan, applying a possible increase of the discount rate for 0.25%, net liability would have been lower by Euro 531 thousand; while, applying a possible increase of long-term expected rate of salary for 0.25%, net liability would have been higher by Euro 83 thousand. 16.
