ANNUAL REPORT2009
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
2009 was a very important year for the Coin Group, a year of challenges and of new activities. We have accelerated the implementation of our business model and, thanks to the success of the new Coin and OVS formulas, our constant focus on the company processes and extension of the store network, we obtained excellent financial and operating results, even though the period was marked by a general and serious contraction in consumption.The acquisition of Upim, which was formally sealed in December 2009, transformed the Coin Group into Italy’s largest Clothing Retailer. Thanks to this operation, there was a major development of the store network, which was already considerable.
Consolidated Own Brand Revenues of EUR 1,257.6 million were up by 7.2% compared to the previous year. Gross Operating Margin was EUR 149.5 million (12.5% of net sales), an increase of 11.9% compared to 2008. The Net Result was a profit of EUR 44.3 million, a 16.0% improvement on 2008.
Let’s now look together at the highlights of this eventful year. In 2009, we completed the plan for integration of the Melablu network, with the conversion of 48 stores to the OVS Industry format and the closure, in April 2009, of the Melablu central headquarters. In the converted stores, there was an increase in sales of about 50%. This success confirms the effectiveness of the OVS Industry formula which ever increasingly crosses different segments in terms of age and social status and is now a truly competitive player in both the metropolitan panorama and the context of small- and medium-sized enterprises.The old Oviesse is quickly and ever-increasingly becoming OVS Industry, a new concept which combines an aspirational purchase experience at an attractive price, with fashion and convenience within a redesigned space, inspired by the architecture of industry. A way of creating fashion culture and an attempt to
“WITH COURAGE AND A VISION OF THE FUTURE, THAT IS HOW THE COIN GROUP HAS RESPONDED
TO THE CHALLENGE OF CHANGE”

offer quality products to broad customer categories. In 2009, a further 16 stores were restructured with the OVS Industry formula. Since reopening, they have recorded 15% sales growth. At the end of January 2010, the direct stores renovated in the OVS Industry style total 155 (49% of all direct stores). The concept of Work in Progress guides my idea of business. A worksite which is always open, which never stops to rest on its laurels and which is constantly asking itself how it can improve, make progress and grow.
Coin, the historic brand which gives the Group its name, enhanced its range in 2009 with the inclusion in its sales outlets of fashion brands, many of them “in concession”. The Coin brand itself was re-launched, after the initial steps in 2008, with restyling of the Milan “Piazza 5 Giornate” headquarters and now, alongside the traditional “house brands”, Coin offers a very rich selection of brands which can meet the requirements of the customers of a sophisticated Department Store.There are still some stores to be re-launched and many other fashion brands to add. But the road taken is the right one, as is demonstrated by the economic results of the restructured branches, considerably higher than the average results obtained up to 2007.If the brands were once reluctant to enter Coin, we now note with satisfaction that some are unable to enter at the moment due to saturation of space.Finally, the acquisition of Upim, with which I decided to open this message.On 17 December 2009, the Coin Group reached an agreement for the purchase of 100% of the company capital of Upim Srl, present al over Italy with 135 direct stores with the Upim brand and 15 stores with the BluKids brand, as well as a franchising network with more than 200 stores. With Upim, we are acquiring an excellent network of commercial locations in the hearts of cities and the chance to play an important role in the non-food Retail sector, increasing the profitability of our business and optimising our resources and skills.
I would like to end this message with some thanks: over these years, I have witnessed a team spirit develop, from the store staff to the main managerial team, all focusing on obtaining the important results that this difficult year 2009 brought. I send all of you my sincere thanks.

REPORT ON OPER ATIONS AT 31 JANUARY 2010(FINANCIAL YEAR 2009)
The financial year just ended was characterised by certain growth factors which involved the main business areas and which are a fundamental basis for the development of sales and the Coin Group results, as follows: - conversion of the former Melablu and DEM network into OVS industry stores - network development and restructuring of stores with the new OVS industry format - gradual improvement of the Coin range with a constant increase in the presence of third party brands, many of which are managed with the Concessions formula - Business to Business - acquisition of UPIM.
Though the market was characterised by a negative trend, the gradual implementation of this development strategy and the constant focus on the company processes, with the objective of improving management efficiency, enabled the Group to successfully deal with the external dynamics and close this financial year with broadly satisfactory results. Consolidated total building sales of 1,257.6 million Euro (which include sales of partners within our Coin stores) has increased by 7.2% compared to the previous year; EBITDA amounted to 149.5 million Euro (12.5% of net sales), increased of 11.9% compared to 2008 (when it was 133.7 million Euro and 11.7% of net sales). Net Profit amounted to 44.3 million Euro, increased of +16% compared to 2008 (38.2 million Euro). With regard to the financial dynamics, net financial debt as of 31 January 2010 amounted to 347.6 million Euro; if the financial effects deriving from the UPIM acquisition (merged company’s indebtedness and related managers’ capital increase) are excluded, the Group Net Financial Position would be -264.4 million Euro. The Cash Flow from ordinary operations, a positive figure of 34.4 million Euro, is much higher than the previous year, when it was a negative figure 57.5 million Euro as of 31 January 2009.In an uncertain macro economic environment, management of Gruppo Coin preferred control leveragecurrent assets avoiding the formation of inventories at end of season even in the face of reduced pressures on sales; this choice may have influenced trends in revenues but also led to an improvement in stock rotation and then in the working capital.
Conversion of the former Melablu and DEM network into OVS industry stores The integration plan for the Melablu network was substantially completed in 2009 with the conversion of 48 stores to the OVS industry format and with the closure, in April 2009, of the Melablu central headquarters. Growth in sales recorded in the converted stores (about +50%) was especially significant; it is worth underlining how this growth occurred uniformly in the various types of stores, which means both in the conversions of positions inside shopping centres and in upmarket neighbourhoods and stores located in small to medium-sized towns; this confirms the multiple value of the OVS industry formula, which is capable of satisfying the tastes and needs of the various types of customers. The conversion process led to an immediate alignment of the costs of products and collections with the OVS industry costs, and a clear improvement in the margin. Further synergy was created in terms of structure costs with the closure, in April 2009, of the operating headquarters of the former Melablu network.The results for the financial year just ended only partly reflect the contributions deriving from the converted stores network because, on the one hand, the worksite activities for the restructuring of the stores led, on average, to a loss of three weeks of sales per store and, on the other hand, the stores were only reopened with the new OVS industry format for part of the 2009 financial year. In the current financial year (1 February 2010 - 31 January 2011), all the benefits will be fully implemented and we can reasonably believe that EBITDA arising from all the converted stores will be equal to twice the EBITDA in 2009. In August 2009, 7 stores acquired from the DEM chain were also converted; here again, the transformation of the sales outlets to the OVS industry format led to sustained growth in sales and profitability in line with Melablu converted performance stores.
Opening of new stores and restructuring of stores with the new OVS industry formatIn accordance with the development strategies implemented since 2006 and on the basis of the positive results obtained, re-conversion of the Oviesse stores to the new OVS industry format also continued throughout the financial year just ended. In 2009, 16 stores were restructured, after being closed for three weeks for work, they reopened with the OVS industry format and recorded growth in sales of more than 15%. As of 31 January 2010, there are 155 direct stores which present the OVS industry format (representing 49% of the total number of direct stores ) while the remaining 159 stores making up the Oviesse direct network still present the old image. In the 2010 financial year, the conversion activity will be trimmed back compared to the last three years (about 20 stores restructured a year) before gaining momentum again as soon as the reopening is completed of the 64 formerly Upim stores as OVS industry stores.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009

ANNUAL REPORT2009
The worth of this strategic line is based on the following elements:- the important expected growth in turnover; in this sense it is worth underlining that the
already renovated stores were chosen on the basis of technical/operating elements (renewal of leasing contract, status of the store in terms of technical systems and time elapsing since the last renovation) and do not necessarily represent those “most suitable” or with the greatest sensitivity to the new format in terms of sales growth; implicitly, we therefore believe that by implementing the OVS industry format in the remaining stores we will witness a growth in turnover in line with the one achieved so far;
- the standardisation of the set-up of the new OVS industry format that has allowed a constant industrialisation of the conversion process and thus a reduction in investment costs and in the average worksite terms, leading to an improved project pay-back.
Gradual improvement of the Coin range with a constant increase in the presence of brands, many of which are managed with the ‘Concessions’ formula In the last twelve months, the positive effects of the Coin brand re-launch plan have become gradually more visible. In the previous financial year, with the reopening of our flagship store ‘Piazza 5 Giornate’ in Milan, our sign took the first steps on the road that should lead Coin to the forefront of the fashion world, with the possibility of offering the brands shop windows and store spaces that are among the most innovative and popular with customers who are always looking for innovations and special products in every season. This process was further consolidated over the course of 2009 with the entry, both as concessions and with alternative commercial formulas, of various brands, adding to the product range which, alongside our house-brands, creates a modern and diversified collection which can meet the needs and desires of customers in a modern department store. The results attained only partly show the positive steps taken to date. Indeed, on the one hand it is necessary to consider that not all the stores of the Coin network were renovated (at least 15 stores remain to be re-launched) and on the other, the commercial agreements and the introduction of new and constantly evolving brands (in 2010 an additional increase in franchised spaces is forecast); to demonstrate the success of the path followed, it is worth highlighting how the financial results of the renovated branches that feature a mixed range in line with the objectives set for the Coin sign, are notably greater than the average obtained until 2007.
Business to BusinessDuring 2009 the Group started an activity aiming at grasping the development opportunities in the Business to Business segment with the objective of becoming a clothing supplier for leading large-scale retail groups by exploiting its ability in developing collections and the financial advantages deriving from the volumes purchased. With the season autumn-winter 2009 the sale began to the first Italian customer and at the same time additional agreements were reached with Italian and foreign operators with the aim of starting to supply the first products for the current season. The results attained to date are still marginal but are expected to grow starting from 2010.
UPIM acquisitionOn 17 December 2009 Gruppo Coin reached an agreement with a consortium consisting of Investitori Associati, Pirelli RE, Deutsche Bank and the Borletti Family for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Upim S.r. l .Upim, with net sales of about 430 million Euro, operates in Italy with 135 direct stores with the Upim brand and 15 stores with the BluKids brand, as well as a franchise network comprising more than 200 stores. The acquisition represents an extraordinary opportunity as it will enable us to: - extend the current Group formats to a network of further complementary locations, most of which are very high-quality; - acquire a clear position of leadership in the clothing sector in Italy; - increase the Group’s operating efficiency, optimising the resources and the skills available; - acquire the intangible wealth deriving from Upim’s history and expertise.On 28 January 2010, the process for the acquisition of 100% of the company capital of Upim Srl by Gruppo Coin S.p.A. was concluded; pursuant to the agreement signed on 17 December 2009 between Gruppo Coin S.p.A. and Carpaccio Investimenti S.p.A. on the one side and Rinascente Upim S.r. l . on the other, the acquisition took place without disbursement of cash and with the issue by Gruppo Coin S.p.A. of 7,948,132 new shares in favour of Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. (the vehicle company controlled by the consortium of sellers), for the contribution in kind of a share representing 75.65% of the share capital of Upim Srl; for the remaining 24.35% of the share capital of Upim Srl, Gruppo Coin transferred Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. a total of 2,558,426 ordinary shares already held in portfolio on a trade-in basis. Upon the conclusion of the transaction, Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. held 7.343% of the shares of Gruppo Coin.
Pursuant to articles 2343 and 2440 of the Italian civil code, the Transferee submitted Gruppo Coin SpA an estimate report on the Upim stake, issued on 30 December 2009 by Mr. Alberto Borelli as an expert appointed by the Court of Venice. The report confirmed that the value of the Upim stake is at least equal to the nominal amount and the premium of the increase of the Share Capital of Gruppo Coin S.p.A., resolved to assist the transfer of the Upim stake (“UPIM Capital Increase”). A copy of this estimate report was made available to the public according to the legal terms and methods.

In addition, pursuant to art. 2441, 6th paragraph of the Italian civil code, and 158, 1st paragraph, leg. decree 158/1998, on 8 January 2010 the Auditing Company PricewaterhouseCoopers SpA confirmed the fairness of the issue price of the ordinary shares to be issued as part of the Upim Capital Increase. A copy of the opinion of fairness was also made available to the public according to the legal terms and methods.
Concerning the same transaction, and particularly with reference to the financial aspects, the following points are highlighted:a) to support the acquisition transaction, the reference shareholder of Gruppo Coin, Carpaccio Investimenti S.p.A., disbursed a subordinated shareholder loan in favour of the transaction on 28 January 2010, for a total amount of Euro 28,500,000 for a duration of 5 years at a rate of 4.5% a year. b) to support the economic and financial sustainability of the transaction, the Managing Director and some managers of Gruppo Coin and its subsidiaries signed a separate paid share capital increase with exclusion of the subscription right, pursuant to art. 2441, paragraph 8, reserved for them and with respect to which 3,000,000 new ordinary shares were issued.c) with the aim of providing Gruppo Coin with the financial resources necessary to support the investments requested for the integration of the Upim network, the terms and conditions of the loans granted to Gruppo Coin were renegotiated and amended, in accordance with the financing banks. These amendments, which conform to the new corporate, economic and financial structure of the group, include: - three new lines of credit of which:
•a Revolving Credit Facility for Euro 55,000,000,•two Medium Term Lines for a total of Euro 100,900,000;
- the maintenance of the currently existing lines of credit:•a medium long term line of credit consisting of 2 tranches: one of Euro 88,952,000 (Term Loan A) and one of Euro 122,692,000 (Term Loan B),•a medium long term revolving line of credit for a maximum amount of Euro 170 million;
- adjustment of the spreads to the changed market conditions; - review of the financial covenants stated in the contract, which were adjusted to the new corporate, economic and financial structure of the group; - confirmation of the maturity of the lines of credit on 24 April 2012.
Due to the acquisition of Upim, according to the Sitaricerca surveys concerning the period from January to November 2009, Gruppo Coin has a market share of 5.57% (4.65% when excluding the Upim network), thus asserting the leasing position held by our Group in the clothing market in Italy.
In this consolidated annual report, the results of UPIM Srl as at 31 January 2010 are included in the Consolidated Financial and Equity Situation and in the Net Financial Position, while the acquisition made at the closure of the year had no impact on the results of 2009.

Net sales for the Oviesse brand as of 31 January 2010, 870.6 million Euro (+8.3% compared to 2008), have benefited from the results of the conversion of the formerly Melablu and DEM stores and the positive sales trends in the stores restructured and reopened with the OVS industry formula but are penalised in part by sales in the affiliation channel which fell in 2009, in line with the general decline in clothing in Italy.EBITDA amounted to 141.7 million Euro, increased by 4.5% compared to 2008. As already illustrated, the brand’s results benefited only in part from the positive results of the formerly Melablu and Dem stores, while they were penalised by the period of inactivity at these stores (no sales for three weeks, but overheads were still incurred) when work to convert them to OVS industry stores was taking place. At the end of the financial year, Oviesse had 314 direct stores in Italy (252 on 31 January 2009) and 5 abroad, 69 franchising stores in Italy (61 on 31 January 2009) and 58 franchising stores abroad (38 last year). On the basis of the ‘Sitaricerca’ figures for the period January-November 2009, the ‘new’ Oviesse has a market share of 3.63% (3.46% in 2008), confirming our brand as the leader in the clothing market in Italy.

In 2009, total building net sales recorded in the COIN stores were 378.8 million Euro, an increase of +3.0% compared to the previous year. The gradual increase in the sales of concession brands in Coin direct stores, whose sales are not included in the COIN accounts figures, contributed to the result.In line with the decision to assign more concession areas to the Brands, for the second year running, the number of square metres dedicated to selling our House Brands has been reduced and, as a result, House Brand sales have also fallen. EBITDA amounted to 8.8 million Euro (2.8% of Net Sales), an increase on the 2008 result, which was negative for 0.9 million Euro.At the end of the financial year, the Coin brand had 46 direct stores (43 on 31 January 2009), 5 outlet stores, 2 direct stores abroad, 24 franchising stores in Italy (25 on 31 January 2009) and 11 franchising stores abroad. On the basis of the ‘Sitaricerca’ figures for the period January-November 2009, the market share for the Coin brand was 1.02%, a higher figure than for the same period last year, when it was 0.97%.

The net working capital as at 31 January 2010 is Euro - 37.3 million, basically unchanged compared to Euro -37.5 million as at 31 January 2009. Worth highlighting is the fact that, despite an increase in net turnover of 4.6%, the working capital remains stable. This is due to the constant effort made to optimise stocks and to the commitment of the last two years to contain the end-of-season product queues.Furthermore, as already shown in the 2008 report, given the uncertain macro economic context, the management of Gruppo Coin preferred to control the lever of the working capital by avoiding the formation of end-of-season stocks, also due to a reduced push for sales; this choice, though possibly affecting the revenue performance, has led to an improvement in the rotation of stocks and thus of the Group’s working capital.

In 2009, the Group generated Operating Cash Flow of 91 million Euro, a good improvement on the 2008 figure of 8.2 million Euro. This result is mainly due to careful management of the current operating capital which, as stated, remains stable, even though it was a year of development of sales and store floor space managed. Investments, 59.7 million Euro (aligned to annual depreciation values), were mainly dedicated to network growth, especially the conversion of the former Melablu and Dem stores, the restructuring of 16 stores reopened with the OVS industry formula and the restructuring of a Coin store (Varese).
Consolidated net financial debt on 31 January 2010 amounts to 347.6 million Euro. 83.2 million Euro of this can be attributed to the Upim acquisition (in million Euro):

ECONOMIC SITUATION AND GENER AL MARKET OF REFERENCE
In Europe and in Italy in particular, the main macroeconomic indicators show, for the year just ended, one of worst recessions ever. During 2009, due to the crisis, whose signals were already clear in the last part of 2008, the rate of unemployment showed a constant rise, which in January 2010 reached 8.6%; GDP dropped by 4.5%, while the rate of inflation increased by 0.8%.
Following this trend, promotional pressure also grew to reach 38% of items sold (with sales, various discounts, etc.), compared to 37% in 2008.
The provisional data from Sitaricerca for 2009 referred to the overall performance of consumption in the textile industry shows a decrease of 4.8 for quantity and 3.5 for value.
Finally, the contraction in the textile – clothing market mostly hit traditional stores and hypermarkets.

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK
Market risks include effects that market changes could have on the company’s commercial activity, which has proven to be sensitive to changes in consumer shopping choices.Positive results could be influenced by, among other items, the business panorama, interest rates, taxes, local economic conditions, uncertainty regarding future economic prospects, and the movement toward other goods and services in shopping choices. Consumer preference and economic conditions could change from time to time in each market in which we operate.We need to be able to resist deflationary pressure on prices due to an increase in competition and changes in consumer choices, which could have negative effects on the financial situation and economic results.
MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK AND OPER ATING RISK
Throughout its commercial activities the Group is exposed to market risk in connection with fluctuations in interest rates, in exchange rates and in the prices of goods. The risk from variations in prices and cash flow is part of the business and can only be partly reduced through risk management policies.
Credit risk
Credit risk represents the exposure of the Group to potential losses deriving from the failure of counterparties to honour their obligations.As of 31 January 2010 there was no significant concentration of credit risk with such risk mitigated by the fact there are a large number of clients. To reduce risk, the Group generally obtains guarantees in the form of guarantees against credit granted for merchandise suppliers.The financial position is shown in the balance sheet net of write-downs for counterparty default, calculated on the basis of the information available on the clients and taking into account historical factors.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk represents the degree to which financial resources may be difficult to access. At the present time, the Group believes it has sufficient financial resources and lines of credit in place to allow it to carry out all foreseeable financial needs.
Risk of price fluctuation and cash flow
The margins of the Group are influenced by fluctuations in the price of goods. A cut in the sale price of an article generally results in lower operating results if it is not accompanied by a corresponding cut in the cost of purchase.In addition, the cash flow position of the Group is exposed to risk from exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on the market. In more detail , exchange rate risk comes from operations carried out by the Group in currencies that are not the euro; the Group buys a significant part of the goods in currencies that are linked to the US$.Fluctuations in interest rates impact the market value of the debt of the Group and increase net financial write-downs.

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES WHEN MANAGING FINANCIAL RISKS
Treasury activities are carried out centrally by Gruppo Coin S.p.A., which is the sole representative of the group when dealing with credit institutions. Intergroup transactions are carried out at market conditions.Gruppo Coin S.p.A. follows guidelines for financial activities which foresee provisions made to cover fluctuations in the US$ exchange rate and in interest rates through derivatives contracts, principally on the request of and for its operating subsidiaries.
Derivative contracts
Nominal value of financial derivatives contractsThe nominal value of a derivative contract is taken to be the market value of each contract. Contracts in other currencies have been calculated in euros at the exchange rate on the last day of the financial year.
Management of interest-rate risk Gruppo Coin S.p.A. has stipulated some derivatives contracts to manage interest- rate risk. Among these, we have the Interest-Rate Swaps and the Interest- Rate Collars contracts. In the case where interest rate rises are not expected to be excessive and in order not to pay an excessive level of fixed-rate charges on the debt, the following structure has been put in place:
a) payment of a fixed rate, called Cap, if the market rate goes above a certain level;b) payment of market rates between the Cap or ceiling and a lower level, or Floor;c) payment of a fixed rate above the Floor if the market rate falls below the Floor.
Management of exchange-rate riskGruppo Coin has put in place several types of contract to manage exchange-rate risk. These contracts are principally used to insure against rises in foreign currencies such as the US$.
Gruppo Coin also uses Options contracts to guard against a risk of foreign currency appreciation. These contracts give you the right but not the obligation to buy should the market direction go in the opposite direction of the risk coverage
INVESTMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT
In the period under analysis, the Group invested 53.5 million Euro in tangible fixed assets and 6.2 million Euro in intangible fixed assets essentially regarding stores acquisition and refurbishing.During the year, 69 new Oviesse-branded DOS were opened (including 51 former Melablu stores) of which 1 in Slovenia and 1 in Hungary , 6 new Coin stores, of which 1 in Slovenia and 1 in Hungary.

STAFF
During the 2009 period a series of organisational interventions was carried out, to support reaching principal business objectives:- Identification of a new organisation for the areas dedicated to developing assortments, to
strengthen the ability to create distinctive House Brand collections by acquiring new skills concerning the product and achieving additional synergies between Coin and Oviesse with regards to the range of suppliers (particularly through the OBS organisation).
- Enhancing the internal skills supporting foreign development.- Multiple interventions on the Coin and Oviesse direct network to contain labour costs in line
with sales trends, organising the work in a way to achieve efficiency through flexibility.- Optimising of assets and the cost of central facilities.
Training has been particularly concentrated on the sales network: in Oviesse, the reorganisation of the Job Master has been completed, which is for apprentice sales outlet directors (which has about 70 apprentices involved each year) and other professionals in the sales outlets; in Coin a specific training activity has begun aimed at utilising the abilities of sales formulas with specific reference to the area of service to clientele. In the Product and Purchases area, a new “Retail School” was established that will follow the fundamental phases of skill enhancement for collaborators, both for the new entry plans and for overall continuous refreshers courses.Important actions were taken for the development of Industrial Relations to encourage growth processes and reorganisation requirements, as in the case of the acquisition of Melablu, which saw the arranged closure of the site and the reorganisation of the store opening hours. A relevant contribution was provided to the negotiation between Confcommercio and trade unions that have allowed the conclusion of the Employment Pact, the new agreement to facilitate and simplify the use of apprentices in businesses and for reforming the system of bilateralism.
The average age has decreased by 2 months, arriving at 38 years and 5 months, contextually to average years of service which has gone from 12 and six months to 11 years and ten months.The incidence of female employment is at 80.8% of the total, and the level of school attendance has also risen by 4%: university and high school graduates now make up 67% of the employed staff.During the year 1,849 contracts have been activated.
The employment level for the Coin Group as at 31 January 2009 was 5,945 average Eqft. The comparison with the levels at the end of the previous year is shown below:

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLOSURE OF THE YEAR
No significant events occurred after the closure of the year.
FORESEEABLE EVOLUTION OF OPER ATIONS
Upim integration planThrough the acquisition transaction, the integration with Upim aims to exploit the intangible wealth developed over the years by the acquired company, which is a fundamental element to further expand the economic success of the Group.This intangible capital is represented by the wealth of educational, strengthening and growing knowledge on the commercial sector that makes up the know-how of the acquired company, and particularly by the internal divisions dedicated to the study and design of sales outlets as well as the surveying of evolving consumer trends.These assets can be combined with the knowledge and technical skills already present in Gruppo Coin, leading to significant advantages in terms of distribution techniques and creating those synergies that led to the acquisition.The first few months of 2010 saw the start of all the activities connected with the relaunch of the UPIM network, from the initial transformation of stores to interventions on merchandising and sourcing activities. In parallel , the management was acquired of all the operating processes of the newly purchased company with the aim of integrating the activities of support to the store network and the affiliation within the operating structures already present in the head office of Gruppo Coin in Venice-Mestre, as fast as possible and approximately by the summer of 2010.The plan to relaunch Upim Srl was disclosed to and discussed with national trade union organisations. An agreement for its implementation was reached in February.On 12 March 2010, after just three weeks of work, the first OVS industry store was reopened in Mugnano in the Province of Naples; as of today, 16 stores have been reopened with the OVS industry formula. The first signals relating to the sales trend are more than satisfactory, both with respect to our best expectations and in comparison with sales growth in the first 15 formerly Melablu stores converted last year.On 7 April , as the result of Upim conversion plan a Coin store was opened in Lecco; the next day, the second converted store was opened in Reggio Calabria and on 13 April the third store opened in Pisa. Overall , by the end of April , 6 ex-Upim stores will have been restructured and reopened with the Coin format. Even in this case the first sales and customer results have been very positive. Upon completion of this first reconversion phase, the second phase began with the closure, in the first week of April , of another 13 UPIM stores that, following renovation, will reopen within the first 15 days of May with the OVS industry formula.In addition to the activities of rationalisation of the operating site and the conversion of stores by adopting our formats, various actions were started to improve the product and collection assortments proposed in the Upim network; the initial effects will be visible starting from the autumn winter 2010 range.
Sales trend in the first part of the yearAll Group’s brands keep performing positive like for like sales, despite the poor economic scenario.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF YEAR-END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In accordance with Regulation no. 1606/2002 issued by the European Parliament and the European Council and adopted with Legislative Decree no. 38/2005 for the report closed on 31 January 2010 the Group has adopted the International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Commission. For the purposes of this document, the term IFRS will be use to encompass Internazional Accounting Standards (IAS), as well as all the interpretation documents of International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), including those previously issued by Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”).
The consolidated financial statements of the Gruppo Coin as at 31 January 2009 have been prepared in compliance with the “Regulation containing implementation provisions for Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, regarding issuers” (CONSOB regulation n. 11971 of 14 May 1999, and subsequent changes and integrations).
The consolidated financial statements of the Gruppo Coin composed of the Balance Sheet, the Profit and Loss Account, the Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of changes in equity and the Explanatory Notes, are presented in Euro (rounded up to the nearest thousand) as the current currency used in the economies in which the Group mainly operates, unless otherwise indicated. As regards the basis of presentation of the accounting statements, the Company has chosen to adopt balance sheet and income statement formats with the following characteristics: - Balance sheet – assets and liabilities are analysed by maturity, breaking down the relevant current and non-current items into assets and liabilities expiring within one year and after one year; - Profit and loss account – it is a vertical statement based on the type-of-expenditure analysis; - Cash Flow summary– it highlights cash flows coming from operating, financing and investment activity, using indirect method.
These notes provide a detail of the amounts shown in the Gruppo Coin consolidated financial statements through the analysis, the changes that have occurred in the year and the related comment. The notes are complemented by additional information deemed necessary to provide a true and fair presentation of the financial situation and the economic results of the Gruppo Coin.Details of changes in assets and liabilities were included only where significant.
Please refer to the Directors’ Report on Operations for information relating to the nature of the business activity, significant events occurring after the balance sheet date.
The financial statements are audited by the independent auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A..

CONSOLIDATION AREA
The following table shows the list of companies that were included in the consolidation using the “line-by-line” method:
The consolidated financial statements relate to the accounting period 1 February 2009 – 31 January 2010Where necessary, the financial statements used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements have been appropriately reclassified and adjusted to bring them in line with the Group’s accounting policies.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
56
ANNUAL REPORT2009
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the companies of the Gruppo Coin S.p.A. and of those undertakings over which the group has the right to exercise control. The meaning of control is not restricted to the concept of legal ownership. Control exists when the Group has the right, either directly or indirectly, to direct the financial and operating policies of another undertaking with a view to gaining economic benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements starting from the date when the group gains control over the subsidiaries until such control ceases to exist.Companies not significant that are in liquidation or that are not material have been excluded from the consolidated financial statements. Their impact on the total assets and liabilities, the financial position and the economic result of the Group is not significant.Subsidiary companies excluded from the consolidation area have been valued using the equity method and included under “Equity investments”.
The main consolidation criteria adopted are listed below:• the book value of investments in subsidiaries that are consolidated using the “lineby-
line” method is eliminated, upon consolidation, against the related net equity, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries as well as their revenues, income and costs having been consolidated using the “line-by-line” method regardless of the stake held;
• intercompany balances and transactions as well as any unrealised income and expenses (except for any intercompany losses that provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred) arising on intercompany commercial or financial transactions are eliminated in full ;
• accounting for acquisitions of subsidiaries by the Group is based on the purchase method set forth in international financial reporting standard IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The cost of an acquisition is considered to be its fair value on the date of the exchange of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred or the equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquire. This cost is increased by any costs which are directly attributable to the acquisition. According to the purchase method, the cost of the business combination is recognised by the acquirer as an asset from the acquisition date, through recognition of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed and recognition of goodwill measured as the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. If the cost of the acquisition is lower than the identifiable assets acquired, the difference is recognized in profit and loss;
• any increases/decreases in the consolidated companies’ net equity that are attributable to results generated after the acquisition date of the investment are recorded, upon elimination, in a specific equity reserve called “Retained earnings/(losses) carried forward”;
• any dividends distributed by group companies are eliminated from the profit and loss account upon consolidation;
• the surplus of the purchase cost of minorities compared with the book value of shareholders’ equity pertaining to third parties was recorded directly under shareholders’ equity in the absence of any specific indication concerning this matter by international accounting standards.
Financial statements in foreign currencies
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the Euro are converted by applying to assets and liabilities the exchange rate in force at the end of the quarter and to P&L items the average exchange rates for the period. Net equity is shown at the historical exchange rates conventionally identified as being the exchange rates in force at the end of the first financial year after the subsidiary’s inclusion in the consolidation area.The exchange differences due to the conversation of financial statements expressed in a foreign currency are directly attributed to net equity.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND STANDARDS
The new accounting policies and standards adopted by the Group are shown below.
All items included in the financial statements have been valued by taking into account the prudence, accruals and going concern concepts of accounting.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is the excess of the cost of the business compared to minority in the fair value of net assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized.Goodwill is not amortised but it is subject to impairment tests according to the provisions of IAS 36 (Impairment of assets) on an annual basis or where events or circumstances lead the group to believe that there may be an impairment loss. After the initial book entry, good will is valued at cost less accumulated losses in value.
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost, net of amortisation calculated using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives and any permanent losses in value. The useful life is reviewed annually. In particular:
Brands – The brands resulting from the business combinations are recognized at fair value on the date of the business combinations, according to the purchase method. They are not amortised as their useful lives are indefinite, but they are subject to impairment tests as required by IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) annually or whenever circumstances indicate that impairment might exist. After initial recognition, the brands are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Authorisations (licenses) – The licenses resulting from the business combinations are recognized at fair value on the date of the business combinations, according to the purchase method. After initial recognition, the licenses are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The amortisation is carried out on a straight line basis over their useful lives that starting from 2006, has been defined of 40 years.The value of commercial licenses is submitted to impairment test on a yearly basis therefore, when this test should highlight in certain positions recoverable amounts below book value, in occasion of the preparation of the balance sheet for the following financial year, the determined loss will be recorded into the income statement. Furthermore the recovery value of the assets is checked yearly and adjusted, to consider possible changes in its own value.Please refer to note 8 “intangible fixed assets” to have the description of the criteria used to define useful life and recovery value at the end of the useful life.
Software – Costs of software licences, including any ancillary costs, are capitalised and included in the financial statements net of any accumulated impairment losses. The amortisation rate used is 20%.
Other intangible assets - Other intangible assets are entered under assets when they are identifiable, controlled by the Group, able to provide future economic benefits and their cost can be reliably determined. These assets are measured at their acquisition cost and amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives. The value of the franchising network, recognized following the business combination, is amortised on the basis of a useful life of 20 years.
Tangible fixed assets
Property plant and equipment are measured at acquisition cost, including directly attributed accessory charges (those resulting from business combinations are recognized at fair value on the date of the business combination) net of amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Land is not amortised even if acquired at the same time as the building. Depreciation is accounted for starting from the month in which the tangible fixed asset is ready for use.Depreciation is charged monthly on a straight-line basis using rates that allow the tangible assets to be depreciated over their useful life or, in case of disposal, up to the last month of use.

The depreciation rates used are as follows:
Ordinary maintenance costs are charged in full to the profit and loss account of the year in which they are incurred.Improvements to leasehold property are shown under tangible fixed assets based on the nature of the cost incurred. The depreciation period corresponds to the estimated useful life of the asset or the unexpired term of the lease (generally 12 years), whichever is the shorter.Assets held under finance leases, through which all the risks and rewards incident to ownership are transferred to the Group, are recognized as tangible assets at their current value or, if lower, at the present value of minimum payments due for the lease with the contra entry being the financial liability towards the lessor.The liability is progressively reduced according to the capital repayment schedule included in the contractually agreed upon instalments, while the value of the asset which is recognized under tangible assets is amortised systematically based on its expected useful life.
Impairment of intangible and tangible fixed assets
IAS 36 provides for the assessment of any impairment losses in tangible and intangible fixed assets where impairment indicators arise indicating that a possible impairment may exist. This occurs at least once a year for goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or for authorisations (licenses) and assets which are not available for use.The recoverability of the amounts recorded is tested by comparing the carrying amount with the higher of the fair value (current realizable value) minus the cost of sales and the asset’s value in use. Value in use is defined by discounting the expected cash flows created by the asset .For the purpose of establishing if impairments have occurred, assets are analysed starting from the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be separately identified.The single Coin and Oviesse brand shops have been identified as being the cash generating units within the Group.If the recoverable value of an asset is lower than its book value, the latter is written down to the recoverable value. This reduction represents an impairment loss that is charged to the profit and loss account.If an indicator of reversal exists, the recoverable value of the asset is recalculated and the book value is increased to such higher amount.The increase in the book value cannot nevertheless exceed the net book value that the fixed asset would have had if the impairment had not occurred. The reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not allowed.
Financial assets
Financial assets, all but derivatives, are recorded under both current and fixed assets depending on their maturity and when they are expected to be converted in monetary assets. Financial assets include Investments in other undertakings (other than subsidiaries and associated companies), derivatives and receivables, as well as the availability and cash equivalents.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
59
ANNUAL REPORT2009
For valuation purposes, the Group breaks down financial assets into the following categories: financial assets valued at fair value recorded in the profit and loss account, receivables and loans, financial assets to be held to maturity and financial assets available for sale. The decision regarding the classification of the various financial assets at the time of their initial recording rests with the Directors who, at each balance sheet date, verify that the original classification still applies.
a) Financial assets valued at fair value through profit and loss
This category includes both financial assets held for trading and derivative instruments that do not qualify for the application of hedge accounting.
b) Receivables and loans
Receivables and loans are represented by non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable expiration dates. These are included under current assets except for the part expiring after more than one year from the balance sheet date, which is classified under non-current assets.
c) Financial assets held to maturity
Financial assets to hold to maturity are represented by non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed expiration dates that the Group intends to hold till maturity. Assets are classified as current or non-current depending on whether they are expected to be realised within maximum 12 months after the balance sheet date.
d) Financial assets available for sale
Financial assets available for sale represent a residual category made up of non-derivative financial instruments that are allocated to this category by the Directors or that cannot be allocated to any of the other financial asset categories described above. These assets are included under non current assets unless the Directors intend to sell them within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Financial assets, regardless of their classification, are initially recorded at fair value increased where applicable, by any ancillary purchase costs.Financial assets are written off when the rights to receive the cash flows associated with the financial assets have expired or have been assigned to third parties and the group has substantially transferred also all the risks and rewards of ownership.
After their initial recording, financial assets valued at fair value though profit and loss and financial assets available for sale are recorded at fair value. In the first case, any changes in fair value are recorded in the profit and loss account of the period to which they relate, in the second they are recorded in shareholders’ equity (reserve for available-for-sale assets). This reserve is recognised in the profit and loss account only when the financial asset is actually transferred or, in case of negative changes, when the loss in value temporarily charged to equity is not expected to be recovered.
Lastly, receivables and loans, as well as financial assets held to maturity, after their initial recording, are recorded in the accounting records at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Any impairment losses are charged to the profit and loss account as a contra item of the related asset. The impairment loss is reversed and the asset restated to its previous value when the circumstances that had caused the write-down cease to exist.
As far as derivative financial instruments are concerned please refer to the specific paragraph below.
Inventor y
The balance of inventory at year end is stated at the lower of purchase cost and net realisable value. Purchase cost is calculated using the weighted average cost for the period of formation. The cost is also increased by the additional expenses directly related to purchases of goods.Goods relating to the collections are depreciated based on their presumed ability to realize future through the inclusion of a special fund.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and bank balances except for what indicated on note 1 “Cash and Bank”.Foreign currencies in hand are valued at year-end exchange rates.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009

ANNUAL REPORT2009
Provision for risks and charges
Provisions for risks and charges include the following provisions, divided according to type:
Provision for retirement pay and similar obligations - this includes mainly the liabilities and rights accrued by former Standa’s employees and the employees of Oriental Buying Services Ltd and OBS India Private Ltd. with regard to supplementary welfare contracts; the liability relating to these defined-benefit plans is calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions and the amount stated in the financial statements is the present value of the Group’s liability.
Other provisions for risks and charges - These are amounts accrued in respect of current obligations which are expected to require the use of resources the amount of which can be reasonably and reliably estimated. The provision represents the best estimate of the costs expected to be incurred to settle the current obligation in full .
The risks of occur a reportable liabilities shall be subject to disclosure in the notes and shall not perform any provision.
Severance indemnity provision
Post-employment benefits are defined on the basis of plans that can be classified as “defined contribution” or “defined benefit”, depending on their features.Defined-benefit plans such as the employment termination indemnity fund accrued before the budget law for 2007 came into effect are those plans where the guaranteed benefits are paid to the employees at the termination of their employment. The liability connected with defined-benefit plans is calculated, as for the pension fund described previously, on the basis of actuarial assumptions and is recognised on an accrual basis in line with the labour service required to obtain the benefits. The liability is valued on an annual basis by independent actuaries.The employee termination indemnity fund and the pension funds mentioned above, calculated according to an actuarial method, require that the amount accrued during the year be recorded in the profit and loss account under “labour cost” while the notional financial charge is entered among net financial income (charges). Actuarial profits and losses reflecting the effects of the changes in the actuarial assumptions are recognised entirely in the Shareholders’ Equity items for the year in which they arise.From 1 January 2007, the Budget Law for 2007 and its implementation decrees have changed the provisions regarding the employment termination indemnity fund, introducing, among the various changes, the employees’ right to choose where to allocate their termination indemnity fund accrued. The choice had to be made by 30 June 2007. More specifically, the employees can decide whether to allocate the new flows of employee termination indemnity fund to a pension scheme of their choice or to keep it within the company (in which case, the employer shall pay the termination indemnity fund contributions into a specific treasury account set up with INPS).As a result of these changes, the employment termination indemnity fund accrued until the date of the employees’ choice (defined-benefit plans) was once again subject to an actuarial valuation by independent actuaries. Future salary increases were not taken into account. The amounts of employee termination indemnity fund accrued since the date of the employees’ choice and, in any case, since 30 June 2007, are deemed as “defined contribution” and therefore follow the same accounting treatment as that adopted for all the other contributions paid.
Financial payables
Financial payables are initially recorded at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred to obtain the loans. They are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the amount received (net of transaction costs) and the total amount of repayments is recorded in the profit and loss account according to the duration of the loan, using the effective interest rate method (amortized cost). Upon transition to the new international accounting standards, this required the reclassification of the ancillary costs on the medium-long term loans capitalised under other intangible fixed assets as a set-off against the related loan and the recalculation of the amortisation plan of the loan using the internal rate of return calculated by taking into account such costs. Financial payables are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has the unrestricted right to repay the liability after more then 12 months after the accounting year end; in such case, only the amount of loans payable due within 12 months after that date is classified as current liability.
Financial derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are asset and liabilities measured at fair value.The Group uses financial derivative instruments to hedge foreign exchange or interest rate risks.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
61
ANNUAL REPORT2009
In line with the provisions of IAS 39, financial derivative instruments can be accounted for according to the method established for hedge accounting only when: - at the inception of the hedge, the hedging relationship is formally designated and documented; - the hedge is expected to be highly effective; - the effectiveness can be reliably measured; - the hedge is highly effective throughout the various accounting periods for which it is designated.
When the derivative instruments meet the criteria for hedge accounting the following accounting treatment is applied: - if the derivatives hedge the change in fair value of assets or liabilities subject to hedging (fair value hedge, e.g. hedging of changes in fair value of fixed-rate assets/liabilities), the derivatives are carried at fair value and the effects are entered in the profit and loss account. Consistently, assets or liabilities subject to hedging are adjusted to take into account the changes in fair value connected with the hedged risk;
- if the derivatives hedge the change in cash flow of assets or liabilities subject to hedging (cash flow hedge, e.g. hedging of cash flow fluctuations of assets/liabilities due to the floating of interest rates), the changes in fair value of the derivatives are initially included in the shareholders’ equity and subsequently entered in the profit and loss account, in line with the economic effects generated by the hedged transaction.
If hedge accounting cannot be applied, the profits or losses from the fair value measurement of the derivative instrument are immediately entered in the profit and loss account.
Revenues and costs
Revenues are recognised to the extent in which it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale of goods or the provision of services will be obtained by the Group and that the related amount can be reliably determined. Revenues are entered at the fair value of the amount received or owed, taking into account the value of any commercial discounts, rebates or premiums granted.
Revenues from sales and services are entered when the relevant risks and benefits characterising the ownership or the completion of the provision are effectively transferred. Costs are recognised when they refer to goods or services sold or consumed during the year. In the case of multiannual costs, the costs are allocated on a systematic basis.
Income and costs of leasing
Income and costs due to operating leasing agreements are recognised at constant rates based on the duration of the contracts they refer to. Potential fees are recognised as income in the periods in which they are obtained.
Income taxes
Current taxes on the income for the year are calculated applying the rates in effect on the taxable income estimated in a reasonable way, in accordance with the tax provisions in effect. The amount due, net of payments on account and withheld, is entered in the item “Liabilities for current taxes”. (or in “Current tax assets” when the advance payments and withholdings exceed the estimated liability).
Assets for prepaid taxes and liabilities for deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the temporary taxable differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax value, except for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, and are classified among non-current assets and liabilities. Income taxes are recorded in the profit and loss account, except for those connected with items directly credited or debited to the shareholders’ equity, in which case the tax effect is directly recognised in the shareholders’ equity Prepaid taxes are accounted for only when the recovery in future years is likely. The value of prepaid taxes is reassessed at every period closure and is reduced to the extent in which it is no longer likely that enough taxable income will be available in the future for the credit to be partially or totally used. Prepaid taxes and deferred taxes are calculated using the tax rates which are expected to be applicable in the year when the tax assets will be generated or the tax liabilities discharged, on the basis of the tax rates in effect, those issued and those virtually issued as at the financial statements date.
ANNUAL REPORT 2009

ANNUAL REPORT2009
The Italian companies of the Group, except for Wandar S.r. l . in liquidation and Upim srl, opted for the domestic tax consolidation on the basis of the offer made by the consolidating company Giorgione Investimenti S.p.AThe option lasts for three years and it was renewed on 8 July 2009.The relations arising from the adoption of the consolidation are regulated by specific contractual agreements approved and signed by all the companies involved.
Exchange differences
Transactions denominated in a foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate of the day in which the transaction was carried out. Monetary assets and liabilities in a foreign currency are converted into Euro applying the current exchange rate at the year end, with the effect entered in the profit and loss account under financial income and charges.
Dividends
Dividends are entered in the balance sheet at the date of acceptance of the shareholders’ meeting resolution.
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Group’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year. The Gruppo Coin calculates the diluted earnings per share using the same procedure applied for the basic earnings per share.
Use of estimates
When drafting financial statements and the relevant notes in application of International Accounting Standards, estimates and assumptions must be made that have an effect on the values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and on the information relating to potential assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Final results could differ from the estimates made. Estimates are used to record credit risk provisions, stock obsolescence, amortisations, depreciations of assets, staff benefits, restructuring funds, taxes, other risk provisions and evaluations of derivative instruments. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of any change are reflected immediately in the Profit and Loss Account.
Other information
Segment reporting: notwithstanding the application of the IFRS 8 standard starting from 1 February 2009, the Group identified the operating segments associated with the segment reporting, in the three main following signs, based on the qualitative and quantitative elements established by the same standard: - Oviesse - Coin - Upim (starting from 31 January 2010)
Application of IFRS Policies
The economic-financial results of the Group during 2009 and for the comparison period were prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), approved by the European Union and in force at the date of preparation of this document.
There are not new IFRS and amendments to those applicable to the Group, with effect from 2009, which appear to be significant. In particular:- IAS 1 (revised) – Presentation of Financial Statements: according to the reviewed standard, all the variations generated by transactions with shareholders must be listed in a statement of changes in the shareholders’ equity. On the other hand, all the variations generated with third parties must be reported in a single overall profit and loss account statement or in two separate statements consisting of the profit and loss account and a statement of the other overall profit and loss account components, which must comprise all revenue and cost items, including the reclassification adjustments that are not accounted for in the profit for the year as requested or allowed by the other IFRS. The Group has applied the reviewed version of the standard since 1 February 2009 in a retrospective manner, highlighting the variations generated by the transactions with third parties in two statements called “Consolidated profit and loss account” and “Overall consolidated profit and loss account” respectively. The Group consequently amended the presentation of the Statement of changes in the shareholders’ equity.

- IFRS 8 – Operating segments This policy requires that the information reported in the Sector informative report be based on elements utilised by management to make appropriate operating decisions; consequently the identification of operating segments should be carried out based on internal reporting that is regularly revised by management in order to allocate resources to different segments and in order to analyse performance. The Group considers that the information given is adequate to meet the requirements of this policy.- IAS 23 – Financial charges: the standard removes the option to immediately post the financial charges incurred with respect to assets for which a long time normally elapses to make the asset ready for use or sale, in the profit and loss account. The Group applied the standard prospectively from 1 February 2009 without any significant impact being generated in the period.- Amendment to IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: supplementary information: the amendment, which must be applied starting from 1 January 2009, was issued to increase the level of information requested in case of measurement at fair value and to strengthen the standards enforced on the subject of information on the risks of liquidity of the financial instruments. In particular, the amendment requires that information be provided as to the determination of the fair value of financial instruments by hierarchical measurement level. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the measurement and recognition of the accounting items and only influenced the type of information presented in the notes.
The following accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, reviewed also following the annual Improvement process 2008 conducted by IASB, are applicable for the first time from 1 January 2009, though not pertinent to the Group: • amendment to IFRS 2 – Vesting conditions and cancellation;• amendment to IAS 32 – Financial instruments: presentation;• IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes;• IFRIC 15 – Construction contracts;• IFRIC 16 – Coverage of foreign company shareholding;• minor changes to IFRS (“Improvements to IFRS”).It is noted that Group has not taken in advance accounting principles, interpretations and amendments have been approved by the European Union but that will come into force after December 31, 2009 the following: • in 10 January 2008, the IASB issued an updated version of the IFRS 3- Business combinations, and amended the IAS 27- Consolidated and separate financial statements The modified policies in the IFRS 3 regard, in the case of the acquisition in stages of subsidiary companies, the elimination of the obligation to evaluate the single assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the fair value in every successive acquisition. in the updated version of the policy it is provided that all costs related to the business combination are attributed to the income statement and that, at the date of acquisition, the liabilities for payments subject to terms and conditions are recognised. In the amendment of the IAS 27, instead, the IASB established that any modifications in the profit-sharing share which does not constitute a loss of control should have a counterpart in net equity. The amendment to the IAS 27 furthermore requires that all losses attributable to minority shareholders be allocated at the rate of minority net equity, even when they exceed their rate of attributed share capital of the investment. This variation is applicable prospectively starting from 1 January 2010.• IFRS 5 – Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations: the modification, which is to be applied prospectively starting from 1 January 2010, establishes that if a company is committed to a disposal plan which brings about the loss of control of the holding stake, all of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary should be reclassified among assets held for sale, even if after the disposal of the company it will still hold a minority stake in the subsidiary.• amendment to IFRS 1 – First adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standard;• amendment to IAS 39 – Financial instruments: recognition and measurement;• amendment to IFRIC 9 – Redetermination of the value of implicit derivatives;• amendment to IAS 32 – Classification of rights issues;• IFRIC 17 – Distribution of non-cash assets to owners;• IFRIC 18 – Transfers of assets from customers.

SEGMENTAL REPORTING
Starting from the year 2009, the accounting standard IFRS 8 “Operating segments” applies, which supersedes IAS 14 standard “Segment reporting”. According to the new standard, segment reporting must be represented on the basis of the elements used by the management to take operating decisions and provide financial investors with significant data on corporate operations. Based on internal reports periodically reviewed by the management, the Group’s activity was identified in a main segment represented by the activity related to the sign.
At 31 January 2010 the Group’s operating activities can be broken down into three main brands: - Oviesse - Coin - Upim
The remainder is represented by service companies.
It is noted that UPIM had no economic impact, since the acquisition was completed at the end of the financial year.

ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED BAL ANCE SHEET ITEMS
The content and the changes occurring in primary items vs. financial statements for the year ending on 31 January 2009 are detailed below (unless otherwise specified, amounts are shown in thousand Euro).
COMMENT TO THE MAIN ASSET ITEMS
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Tre.Bi. S.p.A. acquisition
As indicated in the balance year ended January 31, 2009, please note that on 15 December 2008, Oviesse S.p.A. completed the acquisition of 100% of the capital of Tre.Bi. S.p.A. . Said acquisition took place according to what is provided by the “Business combinations” IFRS international accounting policy, and as such, was accounted for according to the purchase method. It is noted that based on what is allowed by the IFRS 3, the initial accounting of the aforementioned business combination was determined temporarily. The limited period of time that passed between the acquisition date—15 December 2008—and the preparation of the Financial Statements at 31 January 2009 did not, in fact, allow for concluding all of the activities necessary for proceeding with the completion of the business combination; consequently, at 31 January 2009, part of the cost of the business combination was not allocated to the assets acquired and, so, this portion of the cost was registered at the initial accounting as goodwill . At the end of the 2009 period and within twelve months from the acquisition date, the “Purchase Price Allocation” process was definitively completed.Furthermore, on 1 March 2009 Oviesse S.p.A. proceeded to the merger of Tre.Bi. S.p.A. and its subsidiaries. The transaction became fiscally effective as of 1 February 2009.
For comparative purposes, it is hereby specified that some figures in the consolidated financial statements for the year 2008 were reviewed compared to those examined by the Shareholders’ meeting of 25 May 2009, following the definitive accounting of the corporate aggregation commented herein.Here below are the differences in the consolidated financial statement of the balance sheet arising from the above:

The main variation compared to the provisional allocation lies in the recognition of the fair value of the administrative authorisations (licences) regarding some sales outlets for Euro 10,854 thousand and the related fiscal effect (deferred taxes for Euro 3,408 thousand).The definitive accounting of the corporate aggregation led to the recognition of goodwill for Euro 23,710 thousand, calculated as follows:
Compared to the goodwill entered in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2008 following the provisional accounting of the corporate aggregation (equal to Euro 29,398 thousand), the definitive goodwill is Euro 5,688 lower, as illustrated in the comparisons reported in the aforementioned statements.
Upim S.r. l . acquisition
As indicated in the Annual Report under “Acquisition of Upim” in which refers to a description of the transaction, please note that on January 28, 2010, Gruppo Coin SpA has completed the acquisition of 100% capital Upim Srl. According to standard IFRS 3 “Business combination”, this acquisition also led to a corporate aggregation, which as such was accounted for according to the “purchase method”.According to the provisions of IFRS 3 and considering that the acquisition of Upim S.r. l . was completed at the end of 2009, the initial accounting of the aforementioned corporate aggregation was calculated provisionally. As a result, the Goodwill was calculated on the basis of the provisional and partial identification of the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and potential liabilities.Within twelve months from the acquisition date, the accounting of the aforementioned corporate aggregation will be completed definitively by identifying and measuring the acquired assets and liabilities.
Reported below is the information requested by the international accounting standard IFRS 3 with regard to aggregation.

Book values at the acquisition date
Since the acquisition was perfected on 28 January 2010, the consolidated financial statements of Gruppo Coin only include the equity data of Upim S.r. l . as at 31 January 2010, when the latter closed a financial period of 4 months, from 1 October 2009 to 31 January 2010.The effect on the cash flow of the year deriving from the corporate aggregation was an increase in acquired cash and cash equivalents for Euro 42,755 thousand, since at the end of the financial periods the accessory costs associated with the transaction had not yet been paid.The revenue and the gross operating margin of the entity resulting from the aggregation, assuming the start of the financial period (1 February 2009) to which these financial statements refer as the acquisition date, according to IFRS 3, would amount to Euro 1,671.1 million and Euro 124.8 million, respectively.
Fair value of assets, liabilities and potential liabilities acquired
As stated above, given the short time passed between the acquisition and the preparation of the Financial Statements, the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of Upim could not be calculated. Therefore, the provisional allocation is based on the accounting values of Upim S.r. l . on the acquisition date, as suitably calculated on the basis of the international accounting standards (“IFRS”) adopted by Gruppo Coin. The fair value of the acquired net assets equals Euro 83,272 thousand and is broken down as follows (data in thousands of Euro):

This goodwill represents the future economic benefits resulting from the corporate aggregation, mainly due to the wealth of expertise and skills developed by Upim throughout the years; these represent a potential contribution to future profitability and the generation of cash flow for Gruppo Coin, deriving from the ability to satisfy customers’ needs, and quantifiable in terms of increased profitability and cash flow that will be generated as a result of the transaction.The future economic benefits are guaranteed by a set of commercial strategies and information that Upim holds with regard to the merchandised products and customers’ requirements, which it has created and developed throughout its history to assert itself and achieve the loyalty of new customers and markets. This intangible wealth of practical knowledge summarises the commercial know-how of the acquired company.As specified above, the net fair value of the acquired assets was calculated only provisionally; therefore, the respective values that will be calculated at the time of the definitive accounting as well as the value attributed to the goodwill may significantly deviate from the values recorded on the date of these financial statements.
Acquisition of business units
On 23 June 2009, Oviesse S.p.A. acquired a company branch targeting the retail sale of non-food products, of which 6 DEM brand outlets located in Veneto are part. Also for this acquisition, which led to a corporate aggregation, accounting followed the “purchase method”. The cost of the corporate aggregation was equal to a collection of Euro 35 thousand paid by the Seller to Oviesse S.p.A., which did not give rise to accessory costs.
The following shows the assets and liabilities definitively determined compared to values defined in the first interim accounts and highlighted in the consolidated financial statements closed on 31 July 2009 (thousands of euros):

ANNUAL REPORT2009
The change in the provision for bad and doubtful debts is mainly attributable to an accrual of 3,418 thousand Euro and an utilisation of 4,505 thousand Euro and also for including Upim srl in consolidation for 12,670 thousand Euro.During the 2008 financial year there were accrual of 2,750 thousand Euro and an utilisation of 1,493 thousand Euro and inclusion in consolidation of Tre.Bi. S.p.A. for 804 thousand Euro.Provisions concern receivables vs. franchisees or commercial partners for which payment could be difficult, due to litigations or mostly for insolvency procedures of the clients.
The book value of trade receivables is considered to be the same as their fair value.
This item includes goods stored at warehouses and sale stores at the balance sheet date. The increase in value comes from to the consolidation of Upim S.r. l . on 31 January 2010.The amount shown is basically in line with the value that would be obtained by valuing the inventory at market value at the financial year end and is net of a provision 39,899 thousand Euro (of which 16,150 regarding UPIM) for slow-moving stock (23,292 thousand Euro at the end of previous year).
Changes in inventory for the period July 2009 – January 2010 have been estimated (7,816 thousand Euro, 6,974 Euro as of January 31, 2009) as the Group carries out the stock count in June every year. Given the aforesaid provision, the trend in the changes in inventory is in line with the trend of the sector.
The amount shown at the end of last financial year refers exclusively to the registration of the market value of derivative financial instruments. For further information about derivative financial instruments see the paragraph “Management of financial risk”.

Appendix 2 displays, for each item, historical cost, accumulated depreciation, changes occurring during the year and final balances.
Increases in fixed assets for the period, amounting to 53,472 thousand Euro, related mainly to: - modernization, restoration and re-qualification of the sale network stores; - purchase of furniture and furnishings for the sale network to furnish newly-opened stores and the renovated ones.
The increase in the “Real estate and buildings” item regards, other than improvements to leasehold property attributed to this category, interventions on the property at the Venezia- Mestre headquarters. Improvements to leasehold property relates mainly to restoration works carried out to leasehold stores. As shown in attachment 2 the increase in the item is due to change in the consolidation on Upim Srl determining an impact on this item of 62.196 million Euro. The most significant decreases concerned part of the headquarters, the sales points undergoing rebuilding, rather than closures/disinvestments. According to IAS 36, for business that has indicators of impairment, the Group has assessed the recoverability of the related assets using the discounted cash flow method. These assessments have led to write downs for impairment losses in the year of 780 thousand Euro (of which 704 thousand Euro relating to depreciation arising from the results of impairment testing of 2009 Oviesse SpA).
The item ‘real estate and buildings’ included under ‘Buildings, plants and machinery’ is made up as follows:

With regard to the useful life of the business authorisations, it is reminded that their validity is estimated to be equal to 40 years, on the basis of the historical analyses performed within the Group.Note the insignificance of the deadline attributable to the duration of leasing contracts. In fact, the lessee is protected by market practice and by specific legal provisions together with a further strategy to gradually expand the network implemented by the Group which usually renews leasing contracts before their natural expiry. All these elements have led, in time, to a subsequent, almost total, pursuit of a renewal policy.
We point out that has been defined a “residual value” at the end of the useful life, not subject to depreciation, equal to 18 monthly lease rent, as representative of the terminal value to be recognized to the landlord if the rent would not renewed for causes not attributable to Gruppo Coin.
The item industrial patents and know-how mainly includes costs for investments in software programmes (€ 12,983 million). The period increase regards the implementation of a new automated logistic system in order to respond in an even timelier manner to the multiple variables that are demonstrated in the Group’s segment.
In compliance with the provisions of IAS 36, where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group tests its businesses for impairment using the discounted cash flow method. These valuations have led to write-downs for impairment losses of 978 thousand Euro.
Impairment test
As provided for by IAS 36, the Group tests goodwill for impairment once a year or more frequently where there are indicators of impairment. The recoverable value of the cash generating units to which the single goodwill amounts have been attributed is tested by assessing their value in use and/or their fair value.
Impairment test of start-up and other intangible fixed assets with indefinite life Consistent with what is indicated by IAS 36, the start-up and the Coin and Oviesse brands underwent impairment tests proceeding with the determination of the value in use for each brand as previously defined in the explanatory notes.In the specific case, the CGU to which the start-up for the verification of any impairment is attributed is constituted by the Oviesse brand.The main assumptions used in arriving at the calculation of the value in use of the cash generating units relate to the discount rate and the growth rate. In particular, the Group has adopted discount rates that reflect the current market valuations of the value of money and that take into account the specific risks associated with the single cash generating units.The recoverable value of these assets has been calculated with reference to their ‘value in use’, calculated using a discount rate equal to 8.20% and a growth rate for the period following the three-year budget at 1.5%.Based on the analysis carried out, the start-up and the brands do not prove to have undergone any impairment.The Group provided for carrying out a sensitivity analysis, assuming an increase of discounting back rate of 1.5%, all other conditions being unvaried. The results of these models pointed out potential depreciations.

Impairment test of administrative authorisations regarding sales outletsAdministrative authorisations regarding Coin and Oviesse sales outlets underwent impairment tests proceeding to the determination of the value in use for each sales outlet. The main assumptions utilised in the determination of the value in use regard the discounting back rate and the growth rate. In particular, the post-tax discount rate utilised is 8.20% and no growth rate was indicated for the period following the budget. During the current period, the administrative authorisations regarding 3 cash generating units of the Oviesse segment.
Results of impairment test are summarized in the following table, where write off and revaluation posted on 2009 and included in “depreciation and write off” are detailed per segment (in thousand Euro):
The item relates to the goodwill deriving from the acquisition of the control of Gruppo Coin S.p.A. obtained in May 2005 by Bellini Investimenti S.p.A., now called Gruppo Coin S.p.A. for Euro 97,595,000 and to goodwill related to the business combination of the Tre.Bi. Group for Euro 23,710,000, and to the temporarily determined goodwill related to the business combination of Upim srl for Euro 138,333,000 as better described in the initial paragraph on business combinations.

Among other things, the new agreements provide for:1. the granting of three new lines of credit, of which: - a Revolving Credit Facility for Euro 55,000,000; - two Medium-term lines for a total of Euro 100,900,000;2. keeping the other existing lines of credit; 3. the adjustment of the spreads to the changed market conditions;4. the confirmation of the maturity of the lines of credit on 24 April 2012, except for the subordinated facility, equals to Euro 7 million maturing on 24 September 2012.
At the same time as the Coin Group and Oviesse signed the new loan contracts, Carpaccio Investimenti and financing banks agreed some amendments to existing contracts. These changes have not affected the autonomy of the contract with the confirmation of the non-enforceability of the cross-default clauses referred to failure of Giorgione Investimenti and Carpaccio Investimenti to abide by the contract undersigned by Gruppo Coin & Oviesse.
The credit facilities that the Group can draw on under the Facility Agreement comprise:
(i) A medium-to-long term credit facility for a maximum of Euro 211.6 million as at 31.01.10, made up of two tranches (A and B) with the following characteristics:
(a) a credit line denominated as “Facility A”, whose total maximum amount is Euro 88.9 million as at 31.01.10, to be repaid in accordance with the following plan:
(b) a credit line denominated as “Facility B”, whose total maximum amount is currently Euro 122.7 millions (including 49,1 million Euro regarding the line of credit al lowed to Oviesse S.p.A.), to be repaid in a single instalment on April 24th, 2012.
(ii) A new medium-to-long term credit line denominated as “Facility C”, whole total maximum amount is Euro 93.9 million to be repaid in a single instalment on April 24th, 2012.
(iii)A new medium-to-long term credit line denominated as “Subordinated Facility”, whole total maximum amount is Euro 7.0 million to be repaid in a single instalment on September 24th, 2012.

As at 31 January 2010 these credit facilities had been used for an amount equal to Euro 392.6 million.The average monthly basic interest rate on lines of credit paid to the Group existing as at 31st January 2010 is equal to 2.817 %.You are referred to the Management report and the chapter entitled “Management of financial risks” for information on the policies to hedge the risk of changes in rates of interest implemented by Gruppo Coin for the whole Group.
CovenantsIn this regard, financial agreements signed on 28.01.2010 have maintained good forecasts of the previous Facility Agreement which provides for, inter alia, customary representations and warranties as well as undertakings to be given by the beneficiary companies which are in line with banking market practice for facilities of a similar amount and nature. In particular, the Facility Agreement envisages the observance of certain financial ratios (financial covenants) to be calculated on a quarterly basis at consolidated level (and hence with reference to Giorgione and its subsidiaries, including Gruppo Coin and the other companies in the Group). The financial ratios include, amongst others, ‘net interest cover’ (ratio between adjusted gross operating margin and adjusted net financial expense), ‘cash flow cover’ (ratio between adjusted cash flow and adjusted debt servicing), ‘ leverage’ (ratio between net financial position and EBITDA) and ‘capital expenditures’ (amount of investments in tangible fixed assets). Values of financial parameters were adjusted to the new corporate, economic and financial group structure.Furthermore, the Group has a contractual obligation based on which the revolving facility (total maximum amount of 170 million Euro) should not be higher than Euro 10 million for at least 5 consecutive days during the period from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 (clean down obligation). This value will became Euro 20 million during the period from 1 April 2010-31 March 2011 and Euro 15 million from 1 April 2011-31 March 2012.Based on an initial estimate for calculating the covenants, it is reported that all required parameters are respected.The Facility Agreement also provides that the beneficiary companies must undertake some obligations relating to companies in the Group including an undertaking not to grant real or personal security (other than that expressly permitted) in favor of third parties and the obligation not to incur further debt (other than that expressly permitted).
Cross default and change of controlAccording to policy, the Loan Contract contains a change of control clause according to which the (direct or indirect) loss of possession of the absolute majority of the share capital of Carpaccio Investimenti S.p.A. by the Fondi PAI or the fact that Carpaccio Investimenti S.p.A. does not possess the absolute majority of the shares of Gruppo Coin S.p.A. would result in the cancellation and obligation to return the lines of credit granted to the Group according to the Loan Contract, immediately. It should also be noted that, in line with standard practice, the Facility Agreement includes a cross default clause concerning the parent and its subsidiaries. In one of these events (not subsequently remedied) the contract would allow the lending banks to demand repayment of the Group all the lines of credit granted to the Group itself under the loan agreement or acceleration of such a repayment. As already said the new loan contract has completely eliminated the cross-default events related defaulted parent company of Gruppo Coin SpA.
SecurityThe signing of the financing agreements involved the integration of the package of guarantees to support bond repayment of credit lines provided to the Group. In particular, in addition to confirming the pledge on the banks of 100% of share in Coin and 100% in Oviesse (both owned by Gruppo Coin) and 100% of the quotas in Oviesse Franchise (owned by Oviesse), 100% of the shares of Oriental Buying Services Ltd and 100% of the stake in Upim Srl (both owned by Gruppo Coin Spa) were pledged in favour of banks. The previous pledge on the intellectual property rights linked to the brands owned by the Group was extended to also include the Upim, Ovs Industry and Gruppo Coin Spa brands. The pledges of the insurance policies and corporate assets with a unit value of more than Euro 2,000 were confirmed. The voting right and the other administrative and equity rights regarding the shares and stakes subject to pledge are granted to the pledger until an event of non-fulfilment occurs pursuant to the Loan Agreement, in which case the right shall be transferred to the creditor banks. The obligation of repayment of the lines of credit disbursed to Carpaccio Investimenti under the new Loan Agreement is guaranteed also by the pledge in favour of the financing banks of 69.304 % of the shares of Gruppo Coin S.p.A.

ANNUAL REPORT2009
This amount represents the funds set aside by the Group for severance indemnities accrued by employees. Such provision is calculated on the basis of actuarial expectations and is posted by accruals in line with the work to be rendered in order to enjoy the benefits.Please note that from 1 January 2007, the Financial Law and its implementing decrees have introduced changes in the regulation of termination indemnity, including the choice of the subordinate employees on the allocation of their termination indemnity maturing. In particular, new flows of termination indemnity may be directed to the employee pension schemes selected or maintained in the company (in which case it will pay severance pay contributions to a treasury account set up at INPS).
As at 31 January 2010, actuarial assumptions concerning the ESI, took into consideration the effects deriving from the change in its governance by the Law of 27th December 2006 (“Financial Law 2007”) and subsequent Decrees and regulations issued during 2007. On the basis of such changes: - ESI quotas accruing since 1st January 2007, both in the case of the option for forms of
supplementary pension and in the case of allocation to the Treasury Fund at INPS, can be treated as contribution payments to the Defined Contributions Plans and recorded accordingly;
- the ESI accrued up to 31 December 2006, on the other hand, continues to be treated asDefined Benefits Plans and recorded according to the provisions of IAS 19 for this type of Plans.
The working assumptions taken as references are set forth below:
Demographic assumptions: - death probabilities are those established for the Italian population by Istat (Italian Central Statistics Institute) during 2002 as categorised by gender; - disability probabilities are those adopted in the INPS (Italian Social Security Institution) model for 2010 projections as categorised by gender. Such probabilities are built by starting from age and gender based distribution of pensions paid as at 1st January applicable from 1984, 1985, 1986 for staff working in the credit business; - the retirement time of the general working population is assumed to be upon reaching the first retirement requirement applicable for the Mandatory General Insurance; - the probability of abandonment of the working activities due to causes other than death was established, based on the statistics supplied by the Group, at an annual rate of 10.00%, except Upim S.r. l . for which for 2010 has been suggested a frequency of 15.00%; - the advancement probability has been assumed at a value equal to 3.00% year on year.
Economic and financial assumptions:The economic and financial scenario referred to for evaluation is described in the table below:
The reference used for valuing the discounting rate is the Iboxx Eurozone Corporates AA index with duration between 5 and 7 years.

During 2009 average staff number (excluding Upim acquired on 28 January) has been so composed: 86 managers, 6,710 employees, 249 workers.At 31 January 2010 the Group staff (including Upim) included 103 managers, 9,548 employees, 259 workers.
Below is an overview of the provision for risks and charges:
Broken down as follows:
This is mainly a pension fund for former Standa employees acquired together with this line of business. Such funds are designed to be paid out when the employee retires. Similarly to the severance indemnity, also the value of this fund is calculated on actuarial basis with the “unit credit projection” method.
The reserve is allocated for potential risks concerning disputes with suppliers, referring to the marketing of products (it also includes the estimated legal expenses), Public Institutions, former employees and third parties for various reasons, in addition to a provision of 490 thousands Euro allocated against potential risks of losses associated with returns of goods from associated companies; such goods, after having been taken over, will be written down. Finally, with the inclusion in the consolidation of Upim Srl an amount equal to 7,574 thousand Euro was allocated against mainly related to legal disputes with staff, tenants, landlords and others to charge local taxes for previous years and charges for restructuring store network.The outcome of these risks cannot be defined with certainty and the provision represents therefore a prudent estimation of hypothetical cost at the year-end

The balance is broken down as follows:
The taxes advanced on fiscal losses refer to the losses suffered by the subsidiary Coin before adhering to the fiscal consolidation, and the subsidiary Upim S.r. l .
Finally, following the acquisition of Upim S.r. l . , prepaid taxes were recorded, amounting to 38,778 thousand Euro.
Deferred tax liabilities relating to the greater value in the financial statements of intangible fixed assets derive mainly from their recording at fair value on the basis of the purchase method carried out during business combination with Gruppo Coin and Tre.Bi.

NET SHAREHOLDERS EQUIT Y
The net shareholders’ equity amounts to 451.7 million Euro. The changes occurred in the items that make up the net equity, are illustrated in detail in the previous chart.
21 Share capital
The share capital of Gruppo Coin S.p.A. is equal to 14,308,744.40 Euro consisting of 143,087,444 ordinary shares for a face value of € 0.10 each. The increase is attributable to the issuance of Gruppo Coin SpA to:
1) 7,948,132 shares in favour of Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. (a vehicle company controlled by the consortium of sellers) following the contribution in kind of a share accounting 75.65% of the share capital of Upim S.r. l . . According to the corporate understandings contained in the framework contract signed on 17 December 2009, the shares held by Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. (including the own shares already held in the portfolio (2,558,426) transferred on a trade-in basis to Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. for the remaining 24.35% of the share capital of Upim S.r. l .) , are subject to an non transferability constraint for 24 months;
2) 3,000,000 new ordinary shares. As described in the report on operations, to support the economic and financial sustainability of the “UPIM” acquisition transaction, the Managing Director and some managers of Gruppo Coin and its subsidiaries signed a separate paid share capital increase with exclusion of the subscription right, pursuant to art. 2441, paragraph 8, reserved for them and with respect to which 3,000,000 new ordinary shares. Based on IFRS 2 and with the support of appraisals by independent experts, the fair value of these tools assigned at the date of measurement was calculated at Euro 3.51 per share, 0.10 of which nominal. Furthermore, these shares are subject to special conditions, such as: - an independent ISIN code; - clause of non-transferability to third parties outside the economic sphere of those concerned, until 28 January 2011;- deferred redemption until 29 January 2011; consequently the managers shall not have the right to dividends until approval of the financial statements by the shareholders’ meeting on 31 January 2011, while they shall have the right to vote;- admission to listing in the regulated market from February 2011.
22 Own shares
On 25 July 2008, the Shareholders’ Meeting of Gruppo Coin S.p.A. agreed to authorise the acquisition and to the following assignment, in one or more times, on a rotating basis, of treasury shares for a maximum of 3,964,179 ordinary Company shares, with a nominal value of Euro 0.10 each, corresponding to 3% of the share capital of Gruppo Coin S.p.A., at a unitary price neither higher nor lower than 10% regarding the reference price registered by the stock on the automated stock market on the day before the acquisition.Within the Upim S.r. l . acquisition transaction, the shares in portfolio, equal to 2,558,426 ordinary shares, were assigned to the company Dicembre 2007 S.p.A. on a trade-in basis against the acquisition of 24.35% of the share capital of Upim S.r. l . Thus, as at 31 January 2010 the company did not hold any own shares.
23 Reserves
Reserves are broken down as follows:
Share-premium reserveThe premium reserve, equal to Euro 293.0 million, derives from the capital increases carried out on 18 May 2005 and 20 July 2005. The same was also increased following the purchase of minority interests at the time of the merger in December 2006.The increase of Euro 51.3 million in the Share Premium Reserve recorded in 2009 was calculated as so: - assignation of 2,558,426 own shares to trade in 24.35% of the share capital of Upim S.r. l . at
the price of 4.70 Euro for a total of Euro 12,025 thousand, net of the value already entered inthe accounts of Euro 7,555 thousand, and therefore a value of Euro 4,470 thousand.
- Capital increase with 7,948,132 new shares against the transfer of 75.65% of the sharecapital of Upim S.r. l . at the price of 4.70 Euro with a premium of 4.60 Euro for a total of Euro36,561 thousand.

GUAR ANTEES, UNDERTAKINGS, AND RISKS
Equipment held under leasing contracts
At January 31st 2010 leasing contracts were in place for cars (98 thousand Euro for instalments yet to fall due and € 2 thousand for redemption).
Unsecured guarantees and guarantees issued to third parties
These are entered for a total of € 59,641 thousand, granted on Group’s behalf by banks or insurance companies mainly as surety for Italian rental contracts.They include 2,066 thousand euro, which represents a year’s rent estimated to be the risk against ex-Standa contracts whose total value, which is covered by guarantees, is equal to 15,493 thousand euro until December 2013.
Other obligations
Tenancy obligations are posted for the payment of rents of outlets and deposits to be paid for contracts falling due, with or without termination clause. In most of the lease agreements this corresponds to a period of 12 months. The obligation corresponds to one year of rents and equals to 183.1 million Euro.
Undertakings of business unit disposal
They amount to Euro 10,000,000 thousand and concern the equivalent of the preliminary contract for the transfer of a company branch stipulated on 22 December 2006 by Upim. Notwithstanding any different agreement between the parties, the preliminary contract provides for the obligation for the Company to sell and for the obligation for the buyer to purchase the company branch - constituted by the beneficial right on the property, furniture, fittings, equipment and system within the property, authorisations issued by the competent Administrative Authority, goodwill and utilities - by and not after 28 February 2009. To date the transaction has not yet been perfected.Concerning the non fulfilment by the counterparty of the obligations under the preliminary contract, Upim S.r. l . , through its attorneys, has filed a summons at the Court of Milan to have its rights acknowledged at the appropriate levels. The first hearing was set for 25 May 2010, even if negotiations are currently under way to reach a consensual solution.

MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
The Group operates in the field of commercial activities, both retail and wholesale, with exposure to market risks relating to changes in interest rates and exchange rates.The Group’s treasury activity is centred on the parent company Gruppo Coin S.p.A., which acts as the sole interlocutor, for all the companies in the group, with credit institutes. Intergroup relations are governed by special contracts at market conditions.
The risk of changes in financial flows can only be partly mitigated by using appropriate risk management policies.Gruppo Coin S.p.A. adopts guidelines concerning financial activities that envisage the stipulation of derivative financial instruments in order to reduce exchange rate risks against the US dollar and risks due to changes in interest rates.
The following section provides quality and quantity reference information about the incidence of such risks on the Gruppo Coin.The quantitative data reported below have no value as a forecast. In particular the sensitivity analyses cannot reflect the complexity and correlated reactions of the markets that may derive from each assumed change.
Credit risk
The credit risk is the Group exposure to the risk of potential losses deriving from failure by the counterparty to fulfil its obligations (This risk regards especially Coin S.p.A., Coin franchising S.p.A., Oviesse Franchising S.p.A and Upim S.r. l).
As at 31 January 2010, there are no major credit risk concentrations as such risk is mitigated by the fact that credit exposure is spread over a large number of customers mainly located in Italy, while only 13.5% is related to customers located abroad.In order to reduce the credit risk, the Group generally obtains guarantees for the loans granted in relation to the supply of goods: as at 31 January 2010 the overall amount of guarantees amounted to 47.7 million Euro (22.8 million Euro as at 31 January 2009).
Financial assets, related to trade receivables, are posted in the balance sheet net of the depreciation calculated on the basis of the risk of the counterparty’s default as established in the light of the available information on customer solvency and historical data. Individually significant positions with an objective condition of partial or total uncollectability have been written down individually.Reserves have been set aside on a collective basis for receivables that are not the object of individual write-down, after taking into account historical experience and statistics.As at 31 January 2010 trade receivables, amounting to a total 75.0 million Euro (they were 53.5 million Euro as at 31 January 2009), include 23.2 million Euro relating to receivables subject to individual write-down (7.8 million Euro as at 31 January 2009); the following analysis is made on the residual amount for expired amounts (in million Euro):

Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk stems from the risk of difficulties in finding financial resources.The two main factors that determine the Group’s liquidity situation are, on one hand, resources generated or absorbed by operating and investment activities, and, on the other, the characteristics of the expiry and renewal of the debt and market conditions.The Group has adopted a series of policies and processes aimed at optimising the management of financial resources, reducing the liquidity risk:1. centralised management of collection and payment flows; 2. maintaining of an adequate level of available liquidity;3. obtaining of adequate lines of credit;4. monitoring of perspective liquidity conditions, in relation to the corporate planning process.

Derivative instruments
Here below the composition of derivatives:
Interest rate risk
The Group’s treasury uses external financial resources under the form of debt. Changes in market interest rate levels influence the cost of the loan, therefore having an impact on the level of the Group’s financial charges. To cope with these risks, the Group used derivative rate instruments (Interest rate swaps and Interest Rate Collars contracts) with the aim of mitigating, at economically acceptable conditions, the potential incidence of the variability of interest rates on the economic result.Contracts existing as at 31.01.2010 are presented in detail in the following tables:

Interest rate collar contracts are based on:
1. payment of a fixed rate called Cap if the market rate exceeds such level;2. payment of the market rate if it rages between the Cap and a lower level (Floor);3. payment of a fixed rate higher than the floor if the market rate drops below the floor
Only operations that exceed the constraints imposed by IAS 39 are registered according to hedge accounting rules.
The interest rate collar stipulated on 16 July 2007, were considered speculative for accounting purposes.Interest Rate Swap contracts underwritten on 16 July 2007 and on 18 June 2009 were instead recorded following the methodology of hedge accounting.
The periods in which it is presumed that financial flows will have an impact on the profit and loss account, are summarised in the enclosed statement:
The amount recorded in Shareholders’ equity at the end of FY 2009 is equal to 2.8 million Euro.

Sensitivity analysis
For the Coin Group variable interest financial instruments concern loans payable. A sensitivity analysis follows illustrating the effects caused on the profit and loss account by an assumed shifting of the curves of +40 or -40 basis points with respect to the curve of forward rates assumed as at 31/01/2010. This instantaneous and unfavourable (favourable) assumed change in the short term interest rates level applicable to financial liabilities at a variable rate would result in a greater net pre-tax charge, on an annual basis, of around 1.93 million Euro (i .e. a lower charge of 2.82 million Euro). This analysis is based on the assumption of a generalised and instantaneous change in the reference interest rates level, a level measured on homogeneous categories. A homogeneous category is defined on the basis of the currency in which financial assets and liabilities are denominated. The same simulation carried out on 31 January 2009 would have caused higher charges for 1.05 million Euro and lower charges for 1.25 million Euro.
The table above includes the impact on the profit and loss account of the interest on loans, excluding the impact of derivatives, which is illustrated in the table below; the impact of the changes in interest rates on the fair value of derivatives and the consequent effects on the profit and loss account and on the shareholders’ equity as at 31 January 2010 and 31 January 2009 are as follows:

Exchange rate risk
The Group is exposed to risks arising from changes in exchange rates, which may affect its performance and value of equity. In particular, where the Group companies incur costs denominated in currencies other than the change in exchange rates may affect the operating results of these companies.The applied methodology envisages, whenever possible, neutralisation of economic effects deriving from exchange changes through derivative instruments (future hedging operations and options). These operations are carried out by the Finance Division of Gruppo Coin with the banking system and are reflected on the Companies in the Group that therefore sustain their economic effects. The only exchange rate to which the Group is significantly exposed is the EUR/USD, in relation to purchases in dollars made by Italian companies on the Far East market and on other markets in which the dollar is the reference currency for commercial exchanges.The exchange rate change can result in the creation or verification of positive or negative exchange rate differences.The Group makes a hedging operation that is underway of highly probable, although not yet acquired, orders, pursuing the management objective of minimising the risks to which the Group is subject.
Details follow of the various types of contracts on currencies for managing the exchange rate risk stipulated by Gruppo Coin:
Forward Contracts are used to protect against the risk of a rise in the foreign currency (US Dollar). Similarly, option contracts are also used to protect against an appreciation of the foreign currency.The options used are collar plain vanilla or knock in collar. In both cases, purchases of call options and sales of put options are matched with the same maturities and the same amounts. The structures enable the Coin Group to purchase currency not below a certain exchange rate (call option exercise exchange rate) and the counterparty is allowed to sell not above a certain exchange rate (put option exercise exchange rate or value of the knock in the other case). The two exercise exchange rates have different values and so they create a “collar” within which neither option is exercised and so it is possible to purchase at market value.The following table summarises the amounts of the exchange rates forward contracts and of the other exchange rate management instruments.
Futures:
During 2009 the nature and the structure of exposures to the exchange rate risk and the hedging policies followed by the Group did not change significantly with respect to the previous financial year.

Sensitivity analysis
During 2009 the nature and the structure of exposures to the exchange rate risk and the hed-ging policies followed by the Group did not change significantly with respect to the previous financial year. - la perdita potenziale a conto economico di fair value degli strumenti finanziari derivati di- the potential loss of fair value of derivative financial instruments for the management of the
exchange rate risk held by the Group as at 31 January 2010, as a result of an assumed depreciation of around 5% in the exchange rates of the main foreign currencies against the Euro, would be equal to around 1.63 million Euro (compared with a positive change of 1.81 million Euro if the change were favourable). For currency options, the valuation model assumes that market volatility at the end of the year remains unchanged.
Same valuation as referred to 31.01.2009 would imply a negative change for € 2.03 mln in the p&l statement and a positive one for € 2.25 mln.
- instead, regarding derivative financial instruments in hedge accounting, the effects on netequity of an appreciation/depreciation of 5% EUR/USD exchange rate are reported below:
Limiting the analysis of the effects on the income statement but extending the sensitivity analysis to all the flows subject to fluctuations linked with the Euro/US Dollar exchange rate and keeping the variability interval unchanged, the hypothesis of a depreciation at 31 January 2010 would cause a total loss of 1.52 million Euro (or an improvement of 1.54 million Euro if favourable).Once again, the same valuation referred to 31 January 2009 would lead to a negative change in the profit and loss account of 1.6 million Euro and to a favourable change of 0.9 million Euro.

Classification of financial assets and liabilities
Upon completion of the reporting on financial risks, shown below is reconciliation between classes of financial assets and liabilities as identified in the financial equity situation of the Group and the types of financial assets and liabilities identified on the basis of IFRS 7 requirements:
The general criterion used to calculate the fair value is the current values of the future cash flows expected for the instrument being measured. The liabilities concerning the bank debt are measured according to the “amortised cost” criterion.The trade payables and receivables were assessed at the book value as this is considered to be close to the current value.The financial leases were measured at cost, since they are not within the sphere of application of IAS 39.
