Directors’ Report as at December 31, 2013

Tamburi Investment Partners Group (hereinafter “TIP Group”) ends the fiscal year 2013 with a

consolidated net income after tax of 31.9 million Euro, more than tripled compared to the 9.3

million Euro of the individual financial statement as at December 31, 2012 of Tamburi

Investment Partners S.p.A. (hereinafter “TIP”).

Following the establishment of the companies Clubsette S.r.l. and TXR S.r.l. during the year 2013,

the drafting of the consolidated annual report has become necessary. The annual report presents,

for comparative purposes, the economic, financial and balance sheet data of the individual

financial statements of TIP as at December 31, 2012, with the aim of ensuring uniformity of

accounting principles, with particular reference to equity-accounted investments in associates.

Considering TIP activity, the most important data is in any case the amount of the total equity

attributable to the shareholders of the parent company that reached approximately 290.1 million

Euro, the best result that has ever been reported in the Group history, after having purchased

treasury shares for 6.7 million Euro and distributed dividends for 5.4 million Euro during the

month of May. As at December 31, 2012 the restated net equity was of approximately

208.4 million Euro and therefore the increase of the year, considering dividends and the purchase

of treasury shares, was higher than 39%. Such element reflects the progressive increase of the

value of the investments, and particularly of those that are listed on the stock market accounted

as available for sale financial assets, for which the fair value is quarterly updated.

The most relevant event regarding the performance of TIP Group during the fiscal year 2013 was

related to the liquidation of the stake held in Borletti Group Finance S.C.A., already described

during the year.

The fiscal year 2013 ends with a consolidated profit before tax of TIP Group of approximately

31.7 million Euro, compared to the 10.1 million Euro of the profit before tax of the TIP

individual financial report as at December 31, 2012.

With the completion of the club deal created for the acquisition of the stake in Clubsette –

Moncler the amount of investments promoted and coordinated by TIP has further increased and,

even if it is not known the outcome of the investments in some listed companies that are now

directly and independently managed by the single shareholders since all the related agreements

have expired, it is estimable that the total amount of transactions concluded that has been

promoted and coordinated by TIP have exceeded 1.1 billion Euro.

As at today the following club deals are fully operational in the initial shape suggested by TIP:

- Interpump, that on the basis of the current market prices represents a total value of about

300 million Euro;

- Prysmian, that on the basis of the current market prices represents a total value of about

250 million Euro;


- Moncler, that on the basis of the current market prices represents a total value of about

160 million Euro.

Furthermore the investments still at least partially in place in Amplifon, Datalogic (at that time a

club deal of about 100 million Euro), Roche Bobois, Intercos, Be, Bolzoni, Noemalife, Monrif,

Valsoia, Servizi Italia and others have originated transactions for approximately additional 250

million Euro.

Regardless the amount of the investments carried out, it has to be underlined that almost all the

investee companies continue to show encouraging results, mainly thanks to the technological

level, the leadership position and the geographical diversification in terms of revenues of most of

them. Therefore another equally important aspect is not only the amount directly and indirectly

invested by TIP, but also the quality of the investment done, most of them still in TIP portfolio.

During the year 2013 TIP registered revenues from advisory activity of about 4.3 million Euro, in

line with 2012, and financial income of 39.2 million Euro compared to 7.5 million of the previous

year. The share of profit of equity accounted investee was about 4.7 million Euro, in line with

2012.

Fixed costs were in line with the previous year, variable costs have obviously followed, largely, the increase of profits.

Moreover it has to be noticed that in consideration of the completion of the turnaround phase (as

better explained in details in Note (13) and as a consequence of the change of view by TIP with

respect to the investment made in Data Holding 2007 S.r.l. (hereinafter “DH”), which puts an

end to the role of TIP as venture capital organization, has been “discontinued” the fair value

valuation of DH, holding company of Be S.p.A.

As a result of this decision the investment in DH has been evaluated in the 2013 consolidated

financial report, as already done for other associates companies, according to the equity method.

As required by IAS 8 the introduction of a new accounting principle has been applied on a

retrospective basis therefore restating the values of the investee company as if the principle had

been applied since the beginning modifying therefore the comparison results to the year 2012.

During the year 2013 TIP share increased of about 53% and as of today the market capitalization

is steadily over 300 million Euro; since some weeks TIP share has been included in the FTSE

MID CAP index.

The evolution of the share price compared to the main indexes, Italian and European, since

January 1, 2010 is provided in the following chart.


On April 29, 2013 TIP, through the club deal finalized by its controlled company TXR S.r.l.,

acquired approximately 19% of Furn-Invest S.A.S. – holding company of the Roche Bobois

group – the world leader in the creation and selective distribution of high level, design and luxury

furniture and home furnishing products. The group has the largest worldwide chain of high

quality and design furniture stores, with a presence – direct and / or through franchising –

consisting of 335 stores located in prestigious shopping areas, with presence in the most

important towns of the main countries. During January 2014 TXR acquired additional Furn-

Invest shares, increasing its shareholding up to 29.37% of the capital. TXR is a company of which

TIP owns 51% of the capital. The remaining stake is owned by other equityholders, mainly family

offices that have been TIP shareholders’ since long time.

On August 5, 2013 TIP, through the club deal finalized by its controlled company Clubsette S.r.l.,

acquired 14% of Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l., company currently owning 31.9% of the Moncler

group, worldwide leader of a specific segment of production and distribution of specialized and

high level clothing. Clubsette is a company of which TIP owns 52.5% of the share capital. The

remaining stake is owned by other equityholders, mainly family offices that have been TIP

shareholders’ since long time.

Among all the deals closed by TIP Group during 2013, it is worth mentioning the second phase

of the capital increase in Noemalife, which has allowed the company to conclude the plan of

enhancement of its financial structure following an important acquisition completed in France.

On the basis of the evolution of TIP share price, considered unfairly undervalued during 2012,

the purchase of treasury shares has continued especially during the first part of 2013, in a more

massive way compared to the past. As at December 31, 2013 treasury shares represented in total

5.026% of the share capital, compared to 2.052% as at December 31, 2012, at an average book

value of 1.564 Euro per share.

company controlling the Roche Bobois group and 1 share of Roche Bobois Groupe S.A. (equal

to 0.006% of the share capital), operating holding company. The purchase of the single share of

Roche Bobois Groupe S.A. was necessary because the by-laws requires that to be members of the

Supervisory Board the member should have at least one share of the company.

Roche Bobois is the first group worldwide in the creation and selective distribution of high level,

design and luxury furniture and home furnishing products. The group has the largest worldwide

chain of high quality and design furniture stores, with a presence – direct and/or through

franchising – consisting of 335 stores located in prestigious shopping areas, with presence in the

Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l. Investment % (through Clubsette S.r.l.) as at December 31, 2013): 14.00%

In July 2013 TIP established Clubsette S.r.l. (“C7”) with a share capital of 100,000 Euro

participated also by other investors – mainly entrepreneurs and family offices that have been

shareholders of TIP since long time, one of which classified as related parties under IAS 24; TIP

own 52.5% of C7 share capital.

C7 shareholders have made non-interest bearing shareholders’ loans to C7 for a total amount of

80,266,600 Euro proportionally on the basis of the stakes held in the company. In this context

TIP has made a loan of 42,118,965 Euro. These loans are considered as equity under IAS 32.

On August 5, 2013 TIP through its controlled company Clubsette S.r.l., has acquired 14% of

Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l. (hereinafter “RP”), company established under the Italian law owning

32.00% of the share capital of Moncler S.r.l., currently Moncler S.p.A..

The agreed base price for the acquisition of 14% of RP has been established in 103 million Euro,

of which 80 million Euro given at closing (and therefore paid to the counterparty on August 5,

2013) and 23 million Euro as temporary remaining price. The remaining price, in line with the

practice used in other similar transactions of share purchase acquisitions, is subject to a series of

adjustments on the basis of generally accepted parameters and methodologies, that might lead to

increases or decreases, with the notice that the amount of the temporary remaining price

estimated by TIP in the consolidated annual report as at December 31, 2013 is equal to the

present value of 23 million Euro.

The parties are committed to determine the amount of this price adjustment and consequently of

the remaining price by May 15, 2014. The remaining price shall be paid by C7 for a third by July

31, 2014, for a third by July 31, 2015 and for a third by July 31, 2016. Furthermore it is provided

the payment of interests to be calculated on the latest two tranches of the remaining price on the

basis of a fixed annual interest rate equal to 2%.

Finally a further adjustment has been included – to be calculated on the stake owned in Ruffini

Partecipazioni – on the basis of the actual average price of Moncler share in the first six months

of trading on the stock market.

The mechanism of the additional contractual adjustment is based on the datio in solutum

mechanism with the aim of regulating the paid back of quotas of Ruffini Partecipazioni –

originally acquired for 14% - with the provision of a maximum paid back cap equal to 2.00% of

the capital of Ruffini Partecipazioni itself.


Provided the eventual payment of this further adjustment through the datio in solutum mechanism,

the share purchase agreement provides for the possibility to determine indirectly in a

“conventional” way the equity value of 100% of Moncler (considering also that the investment by

Clubsette in Moncler has been made indirectly) corresponding to a paid back of 2% of Ruffini

Partecipazioni share capital. The conventional value of 2% of Ruffini Partecipazioni subject to

the datio in solutum mechanism has been accounted as investee with the provision of the estimated

debt at the date of closing of the investment. The estimation of this amount has been made

considering the maximum amount of the adjustment.

On the basis of the above, in the consolidated annual report as at December 31, 2013 12% of the

stake held in Ruffini Partecipazioni has been valued at fair value and the significant increase has

been caused by the value of Moncler share as at December 31, 2013.

Moncler is the world leader in a specific segment of very high level clothing and was created in

1952 by Renè Ramilton, French artisan specialized in mountain equipment, and leverages on a

network of more than 120 monobrand stores in 16 countries and on a network of 2,700

wholesale international dealers.

In the first nine months of 2013 Moncler group reported consolidated revenues of 389.0 million

Euro, a gross operating profit of approximately 114.7 million Euro and a profit of 55.0 million

Euro. The growth of revenues and the profitability achieved in the latest years have positioned

Moncler to the highest level and among the best-known brands worldwide.

C) OTHER INVESTMENTS

In addition to the above described investments, TIP annually holds investments in other listed

and unlisted companies, that are not considered to be significant in terms of the invested amount.

For the related details please refer to Appendix 2.

THE ADVISORY BUSINESS

The advisory business performed well also in 2013 and reported revenues only slightly below the

previous year mainly because of a couple of transactions that were interrupted even though at a

later stage, but in any case with a good contribution to the group’s income statement and always

able to cover fixed costs, therefore gross of dividends, interests and non recurring income or

costs.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with related parties are detailed in Note (34) to the financial statements.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On January 27, 2014 the management of TIP - in collaboration with Borsa Italiana – announced

the launch of the project TIPO - TIP Pre - IPO, company focused on investments in companies


with revenues in the range between 30 and 200 million Euro that have decided to pursue the

listing on the stock market within few years. TIPO has been established in the form of “S.r.l.” on

January 24, 2014.

TIP made a shareholders’ loan for future capital increase to TIPO S.r.l of approximately 5 million

Euro for the subscription of a capital increase corresponding to 1.595% of Advanced Accelerator

Applications SA (“AAA”). AAA is a pharmaceutical and diagnostic group founded in 2002 by

some Italian professors as a spin-off of CERN (Organizzazione Europea per la Ricerca Nucleare) of

Geneva with the aim of developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic applications and

products. AAA has an operating headquarter in Saint Genis Pouilly (France) and has a wide Pan-

European network of R&D and manufacturing laboratories, with a direct presence in France,

Italy, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland and a distribution network in 16 countries. In January 2014

AAA had 17 R&D laboratories and an headcount of 250 employees, 40 of which active in R&D.

The company has a wide shareholding base, composed of more than 150 shareholders, and in

2013 it is forecasted to post revenues of approximately 56.6 million Euro, with an EBTDA of

approximately 14 million Euro.

In January 2014 TXR acquired additional n. 10,062,500 Furn-Invest shares, increasing thus its

shareholding up to 29.37% of the capital. The cash out of TXR was approximately 7.7 million

Euro, increasing the total investment of TXR up to around 22.2 million Euro.

On February 28, 2014 the additional exercise period of “TIP S.p.A. Ordinary Shares Warrants

2010 – 2015” ended. During that period n. 6,714,552 warrants were exercised and n. 6,714,552

newly issued TIP ordinary shares were subscribed (ratio of 1 TIP ordinary share for each

exercised warrant) at a price of 1.867 Euro each, admitted to be trading on the Mercato Telematico

Azionario of Borsa Italiana, of the nominal value of 0.52 Euro each, having regular jouissance

rights and the same characteristics of TIP outstanding ordinary shares as at the issuance date, for

a total value of 12,536,068.59 Euro.

Following these subscriptions the share capital of TIP is therefore equal to Euro 74,236,260.80

composed of n. 142,762,040 ordinary shares of the nominal value of euro 0.52 each. N. 5,102,273

warrants are still outstanding.

OUTLOOK

The macroeconomic situation both in Europe and internationally is improving, albeit slightly.

Those companies that suffered less than the others during 2012 and 2013 should be the first to

benefit from this recovery. In this context TIP investee companies seem to have very interesting

strategic and economic outlooks. The financial markets of almost all Western countries showed

outstanding performances in 2013 and for the companies that are real leaders this trend should

continue also in 2014, in particular if shocks caused by external elements did not occur.

In any case TIP is willing to continue to invest and to sustain the development of its investee

companies in line with its proven schemes and criteria. In the meanwhile the disposals of

investments of more limited size or which are considered less promising will continue.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

During the year, the company did not incur research and development costs.

TREASURY SHARES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2013

(1) Group business activities

TIP Group is an independent investment / merchant bank focusing on medium-sized Italian

companies active in:

1. minority investments, as an active investor in (listed and unlisted) companies able to

express “excellence” in their respective sectors; transactions with a value below 40 /50 million euro per single deal are – usually – made directly by TIP whereas transactions with an higher value might be sometimes made through the club deal scheme;

2. advisory activities in corporate finance transactions, especially acquisitions and disposals

through Tamburi & Associati division (T&A);

3. secondary private equity activities: investing in investments held by private equity funds, banks, financial firms or insurance companies and purchasing stakes of entities that operate in the private equity sector or similar activities.

(2) Accounting policies

The parent company TIP was incorporated as a company limited by shares under Italian law and

its registered office is based in Italy.

The company was listed in November 2005 on the Expandi segment of the stock market,

organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.. On December 20, 2010 Borsa Italiana S.p.A. has

promoted the company to the STAR segment.

The draft financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been

approved by the Board of Directors on March 4, 2014.

The consolidated annual report as at December 31, 2013 has been drawn up on a going concern

basis and in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards and International

Accounting Standards (“IFRS”, “IAS”, or international accounting standards) issued by the

International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the related interpretations of the

International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), as endorsed by the

European Community Commission with regulation no. 1725/2003 as subsequently amended, as

per regulation no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament.

In accordance with IAS 1, the consolidated financial statements consist of the income statement,

the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of

changes in equity, the statement of cash flows, the notes and is accompanied by the Directors’

report. The financial statements have been drawn up in Euros, without decimals.

The accounting policies and the methods of calculation adopted to draw up these consolidated

financial statements are the same as those adopted in the draft financial statements as at

December 31, 2012, except for that required by the consolidation and that described in the “New

standards” section.


The drafting of the consolidated financial statements has become necessary after the acquisition

of the control by the holding company TIP of the companies TXR S.r.l and Clubsette S.r.l.. For

further details regarding the acquisition and the consolidation procedures please refer to the

following paragraphs “consolidation criteria and procedures”, “business combinations” and also

to Note (9).

For comparative purposes data of the income statement and the individual comprehensive

income statement as at December 31, 2012 and the statement of financial position and the

statement of individual cash flow as at December 31, 2012 of the holding company TIP have

been provided, in order to take into consideration the valuation of the investment in the associate

company DH on the basis of the equity method, as described in the Directors’ Report.

The change between the individual net equity of TIP as at December 31, 2012, equal to 211.3

million euro, and the restated comparative figure in this annual report, equal to 208.4 million

euro, refers to the valuation of the associate company Data Holding on the basis of the equity

method for 2.9 million euro net of the relating fiscal effect.

Presentation and disclosures concerning financial instruments are based on the requirements of

IAS 32, as amended and supplemented by IFRS 7.

During the year, no exceptional cases occurred to make the use of the exceptions included in IAS

1 necessary.

The financial statements as at December 31, 2013 have been prepared using the general historical

cost criterion, with the exception of derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair

value, investments in associates that are measured using the equity method and of current

financial assets and available for sale financial assets that are measured at fair value.

Preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements requires judgments, estimates and

assumptions to be made that affect the application of accounting policies and the carrying

amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and revenue. These estimates and related assumptions are

based on previous experience and other factors deemed reasonable in the circumstances.

However, since estimates are involved, the actual results will not necessarily be the same as those

shown herein. Estimates have been used to recognize allowances for impairment, the fair value of

financial instruments, impairment losses, employee benefits and taxes.

The main accounting policies adopted in the drawing up of the consolidated financial statements,

as well as the content and the variations of the individual captions, are detailed hereunder

New standards

The new documentation issued by IASB and endorsed by the EU, as applicable to these financial

statements, is listed hereunder:


- IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements – the captions related to other comprehensive income

components of the period must be distinguished between components that will never be

reclassified in profit / (loss) for the period and components that could be subsequently

reclassified in profit / (loss).

- IAS 12 – Income taxes – The amendment, issued by the IASB in December 2010, introduces the

presumption for deferred tax assets that the underlying asset will be recovered entirely through

sale unless there is clear evidence of its recovery can occur with the use. The presumption will be

applied to investment property and assets recorded as plant and equipment or intangible assets

recognized or revaluated at fair value. As a result of these changes the interpretation SIC 21 Income

Taxes – Recovery of Revaluated Non-Depreciable Assets – will be repealed. This change is applicable on

a mandatory basis from January 1, 2013.

- IAS 19 – Employee benefits – The standard has been subject to an accounting standard review. In

particular, this amendment removes the option to defer the recognition of actuarial profits and

losses with the “corridor approach”, requiring the presentation in the statement of financial

position of the fund deficit or surplus, the recognition of service cost and net financial expense

registered in the profit and loss, the recognition of actuarial gains and losses arising from re-

measurement of liabilities and assets in the statement of comprehensive income. The new IAS 19

is applicable for annual periods starting from January 1, 2013.

- IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments - disclosures - offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The

amendments to this standard have been introduced to enable users of financial statements to

understand the information on the effects or potential effects of offsetting contracts of financial

assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position. The amendments to IFRS 7 apply

mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

- IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement - the standard, issued by the IASB in May 2011 and applicable

from January 1, 2013, defines fair value, clarifies how it is to be measured and introduces

disclosure common to all assets valued at fair value. The standard applies to all transactions or

balances when another standard requires or permits the measurement at fair value.

It is worth highlighting that the IASB and IFRIC have approved some variations to the already

existing IAS/IFRS as well as issued new IAS/IFRS and the new IFRIC interpretations. These

new documents, having a deferred application date, have not been adopted for the drafting of

these annual financial statements.

The main variations relate to:

- IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements - Following the issuance of IFRS 10, in May 2011 the IASB

has confined the scope of IAS 27 only to separate financial statements. This standard specifically

regulates the accounting treatment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in

the separate financial statements and is applicable from January 1, 2014.

- IAS 28 - Investments in associates and joint ventures - On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IAS 28

“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, which disciplines the accounting for investments in


associates and joint ventures, as well as the criteria for the application of the equity method and

has been amended subsequent to the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. The standard is applicable

from January 1, 2014.

- IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements - Issued in May 2011, the standard replaces SIC 1 -

Consolidation of special purpose entities - and parts of IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate financial

statements. This standard is applicable from 1 January 2014.

- IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements - The standard, issued by the IASB in May 2011 which will replace

IAS 31 - Interests in joint ventures - and SIC 13 – Jointly-Controlled Entities - Contributions by venturers – is

applicable from January 1, 2014. This standard provides criteria for the identification of joint

arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations arising from such arrangements, rather

than their legal form and it foresees the equity method as unique accounting method for

investments in joint ventures in the consolidated financial statements.

- IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities - The standard, issued by the IASB in May 2011 and

applicable from January 1, 2014, specifically requires disclosures to be provided for each kind of

investment, including subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, special purpose entities and

other unconsolidated structured entities;

- IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – On December 16, 2011 the IASB issued some

amendments to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: presentation – in order to clarify the application of

certain criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The amendments must be applied on a

retrospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

- IAS 36 – Further information regarding the impairment on financial assets – In May 2013 the IASB

issued some amendments to IAS 36 - Further information regarding the impairment on financial assets - in

order to clarify the information to be provided concerning the recoverable amount of the assets,

if such value is based on the fair value less costs to sell. Such amendments, that concern only

those assets whose value has been reduced, apply on a retrospective basis for annual periods

beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

With reference to the application of the new accounting standards, the Company has made an

analysis of the potential impacts on the 2014 financial statements and it is estimated that there will

be no significant changes deriving from their application.

Consolidation criteria and procedures

Consolidation scope

The consolidation scope comprises the parent, TIP – Tamburi Investment Partners S.p.A. and

the subsidiaries over which TIP exercises direct or indirect control. Control is the power to

govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements from the

date on which control was actually transferred to the group and are no longer consolidated from

the date on which control has been transferred outside the group.

As at December 31, 2013 the consolidation scope comprises the companies TXR S.r.l. and

Clubsette S.r.l..


Details of the subsidiaries are as follows:

Consolidation procedures

The consolidation of the controlled subsidiaries is made on the basis of their respective financial

statements properly adjusted in order to make them homogeneous with the accounting principles

adopted by the parent company.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are drawn up using the same accounting policies as

the parent company. All balances and intragroup transactions, including any unrealized profits

deriving therefrom transactions, have been eliminated. Unrealized losses have been eliminated

unless they represent impairment.

As at April 18, 2013 the company TXR S.r.l. was established with a share capital of 100,000 euro,

controlled by TIP with a 51% stake. The company business scope is the acquisition, management

and disposal of investments in shares and/or every kind of financial instruments issued by the

company Furn-Invest S.A., French simplified joint stock company. On April 29, 2013 TXR S.r.l.

acquired n. 18,939,273 Furn-Invest S.A shares (equal to 19.179% of the share capital).

In the second half of 2013 the company Clubsette S.r.l. was established with a share capital of

100,000 euro, controlled by TIP with a 52.50% stake.

The company business scope is represented by the acquisition, management and disposal of

investments or interests in other companies with the aim of providing a medium/long term

investment and not for placement purposes.

On August 5, 2013 Clubsette S.r.l. acquired – subject to the above described adjustments – a 14%

stake in the share capital of Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l. ab Italian based company that as of today

owns a 31.9% stake in the share capital of Moncler S.p.A.

In commenting the changes in the reporting period of the captions of the statement of financial

position and for the purpose of drawing up the statements of cash flows and changes in equity,

the opening balances as at January 1, 2013 of the parent were considered.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies used to draw up the consolidated financial statements at December 31,

2013 are shown below.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at historical cost, inclusive of ancillary costs directly

attributable thereto and necessary to bring the asset to working condition for the intended use for

which it was purchased. If significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment

have different useful lives, these components are recognized separately

Property, plant and equipment are recognized net of accumulated depreciation and any

impairment losses calculated according to the methods described later on.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis according to the asset’s estimated useful life,

which is reviewed annually. Any changes, when necessary, are applied prospectively. The main

depreciation rates used are as follows:

- Furniture and fixtures 12%

- Sundry equipment and plant 15%

- Electronic office equipment 20%

- Mobile telephone 20%

- Equipment 15%

- Cars 25%

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is regularly tested for impairment, if

events or changes in circumstances suggest that it is not recoverable. If such an indication exists

and if the carrying amount exceeds the expected recoverable amount, the assets are impaired to

reflect their recoverable amount. Their recoverable amount is the higher of their net selling price

and value in use. In defining value in use, expected future cash flows are discounted to present

value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market estimate of the time value of

money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognized in the profit and loss

under depreciation, amortization and impairment losses. These impairment losses are reversed if

the reasons causing them cease to exist.

When an asset is sold, or when its use is not expected to generate future economic benefits, it is

derecognized and any loss or profit (calculated as the difference between the disposal value and

carrying amount) is immediately recognized in the profit and loss.

GOODWILL

Business combinations are accounted for applying the purchase method. Goodwill is the excess

of purchase cost over the acquirer’s share of the net fair value of identifiable assets and of present

and contingent liabilities. After initial recognition, goodwill is decreased by any cumulative

impairment losses, calculated using the methods described later on.

Goodwill stemming from acquisitions made prior to January 1, 2004 is recognized at deemed

cost, i.e., its carrying amount in the last set of annual financial statements prepared in accordance

with previously applied accounting policies (December 31, 2003). When the IFRS-compliant

opening balance sheet was prepared, acquisitions completed before January 1, 2004 were not

restated.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in

circumstances occur that may cause impairment losses to emerge. At the acquisition date, any


goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit

from the acquisition’s effects. Any impairment loss is identified by considering each CGU’s ability

to generate cash flows able to recover the portion of goodwill allocated thereto, using the

methods indicated earlier in the section on property, plant and equipment. If the CGU’s

recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount attributed thereto, the related impairment

loss is recognized.

This impairment loss is not reversed if the reasons causing it cease to exist.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets are recognized at cost, calculated using the same approach detailed for

property, plant and equipment.

Other intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognized net of their related accumulated

amortization and any impairment losses calculated in the same way as previously detailed for


Useful life is reviewed annually and any changes, when necessary, are applied prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from disposal of an intangible asset are calculated as the difference

between the asset’s disposal value and carrying amount. They are recognized in profit or loss at

the time of disposal.

EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

Associates are entities over whose financial and operating policy decision the group exercises

significant influence, even without owning control. Significant influence is assumed to exist when

the group exercises between 20% and 50% of another entity’s voting rights (between 10% and

50% if the company is listed). Associates are measured using the equity method and are initially

recognized at cost. Investments include goodwill identified at the time of acquisition, net of any

cumulative impairment losses. The consolidated financial statements comprise the relevant share

of the profits or losses of equity-accounted investees, net of the adjustments necessary to align

accounting standards, from when the significant influence or joint control commence to when

such influence or control ceases to exist. When the share of the relevant losses of an equity-

accounted investee exceeds the relevant investment’s carrying amount, the investment is fully

impaired and the share of any further losses is not recognized, except when the group has taken

on a legal or implicit obligation or has made payments on the investee’s behalf.

NON CURRENT AVAILABLE FOR SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS

Available for sale financial assets (AFS financial assets) consist of investments in other

companies. They are measured at fair value and any fair value gains or losses are recognized in

equity. If the fair value loss is an impairment loss, this is recognized in the profit and loss. If the

conditions leading to the recognition of the impairment loss cease to exist, the reversal of the

impairment loss is recognized in equity.

In the case of equity instruments listed on active markets, the fair value is identified as the stock-

exchange price at the reporting date. In the case of equity instruments in unlisted companies, the


fair value is identified as the value in use based on valuation techniques. These valuation

techniques include comparison with values emerging in recent similar transactions and other

valuation techniques based substantially on an analysis of the investee’s ability to generate future

cash flows, discounted to present value to reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of

the business activity.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a price quoted on a regulated market, and

whose fair value cannot be measured reliably, are measured at cost, reduced for any impairment

losses.

The choice between the above described methodologies is not discretional, because the

methodologies shall be applied on an hierarchical order: it is attributed the highest priority to the

effective market quotes available on active markets (effective market quotes – level 1) or for

assets and liabilities measured on the basis of valuation techniques using market parameters

(comparable approaches – level 2) and a lower priority to assets and liabilities whose fair value is

calculated on the basis of valuation techniques that uses parameters non observable on the

market and therefore judgmental (market model – level 3).

The group considers objective evidence of impairment of its equity instruments listed on active

markets – in relation to the nature of its investment portfolio featuring Italian small-mid caps –

the presence of a market price as at reporting date of at least 50% lower than the original

purchase price or the prolonged presence, for over 18 months, of a market value below cost. In

any case, the group analyses also those equity instruments falling within the above threshold –

where deemed appropriate – recognizes impairment losses thereon.

LOANS AND RECEIVABLES

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost,

adjusted as appropriate for sums considered uncollectible.

CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS

Current financial assets consist of securities that are short-term investments of cash. They are

therefore classified as held for trading and measured at fair value thorough profit and loss.

Purchases and sales of securities are recognised and derecognised on the settlement date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily

convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in

value.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, net cash and cash equivalents consist of cash

and cash equivalents net of bank overdrafts at the reporting date.


TRADE AND FINANCIAL PAYABLES

Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

In particular regarding the convertible bonds, based on the instructions of IAS 32, the parent

company has recognised, separately the component which generates the financial liability

(measured at the amortised cost) and has separated the implicit option granted to the owner of

the instrument to convert a portion of the loan into an equity instrument.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERSONNEL EXPENSES

The employee benefits payable on or at the end of the employment relationship through defined

benefit plans are recognised over the vesting period. The liability related to defined benefit plans,

net of any plan assets, is determined using actuarial assumptions and is recognised on an accruals

basis in line with the services rendered to obtain the benefits; the valuation of the liability is made

by independent actuaries.

The company provides additional benefits to certain employees through a stock option plan.

In accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payment – these plans are a component of the

beneficiaries’ remuneration and provide the “cash settlement” modality as regulation. Therefore,

the related cost is represented by the stock options’ fair value at the grant date and it is recognised

in the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period between the grant date and the

maturity, offsetting the corresponding liability at each reporting date.

TREASURY SHARES

Treasury shares, owned by the parent company, are recognised as a reduction in equity. The

original cost of the treasury shares and any profit deriving from their subsequent sale are also

recognised in equity.

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that its fair value can be reliably determined and it is probable

that the related economic benefits will be enjoyed. According to the type of transaction, revenue

is recognised as follows:

revenue from investment banking services is recognised based on the activities’ stage of

completion. For practical reasons, when services are rendered via an indeterminate

number of actions in a definite period of time, revenue is recognised on a straight-line

basis over the definite period, unless it is evident that other methods provide better

representation of such services’ stage of completion;

success fees that accrue upon performance of a significant action are recognised as

revenue when the significant action has been completed.

If it is not possible to measure the fair value of revenue reliably, revenue is recognised to the

extent of costs borne which are deemed to be recoverable.

GAINS AND LOSSES FROM THE SALES OF INVESTMENTS AND SECURITIES

Gains and losses arising from the sale of investments and securities are recognised on an accruals


basis, also transferring any fair value gains or losses previously recognised in equity to profit and

loss.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES

Financial income and expense are recognised on an accruals basis according to interest accruing

on the carrying amount of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest

method.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive their payment is established.

Dividends received from equity-accounted investees are recognised as a reduction in the

investment’s carrying amount.

INCOME TAXES

Current income taxes for the year are calculated on the basis of the estimated taxable income and

in compliance with current regulations. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are calculated on the

temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the relevant tax

bases. Deferred tax assets are recognised when their recovery is considered probable, i.e., when

there are expected to be sufficient future tax profits to enable the realisation of these assets. The

recoverability of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are

always recognized in compliance with IAS 12.

(3) Basis of presentation

The choices made by the company as regards consolidated financial statements presentation are

summarised as follows:

Statement of financial position: according to IAS 1, assets and liabilities should be

classified as current and non-current or, alternatively, according to order of liquidity. The

group has opted for the current/non-current classification;

Income statement and statement of comprehensive income: IAS 1 alternatively requires

classification of captions based on either their nature or function. The group has decided

to use the classification based on their nature;

Statement of cash flows: according to IAS 7, the statement of cash flows presents cash

flows for the year, allocating them to operating, investing and financing activities. (4) Segment reporting

The company operates in the investment banking and merchant banking segments. The activities

performed by senior management in these business areas, in terms of marketing initiatives,

outward institutional initiatives and involvement in the various deals, are highly integrated.

Furthermore, also as regards the execution activity, this has been organised with the purpose of

adding flexibility to the use of “on-call” analysts when needed in advisory or equity activities.

Due to this choice, it is impossible to provide separate operating and financial representation of


the different business segments. This is because splitting the cost of the work of senior

management and analysts based on a series of estimates, linked in turn to parameters that may be

surpassed by effective efficiency, would lead to significant distortion of business segments’

profitability, thus making such information meaningless.

For this reason in this consolidated financial statements are given only details of revenue of the

advisory segment, excluding “other revenue”.

In order to encourage company management to attain the objective of creating value for the

shareholders, a stock option plan approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2011 is

currently in place. The Board of Directors of TIP subsequently defined and regulated – on

August 4, 2011 – the terms, conditions and procedures of execution of the plan. More

specifically, it

resolved:

- (a) to adopt the regulations of “TIP 2011/2014 Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”)

addressed to the Company’s Executive Directors (the “Directors”) and employees who

will be identified by the Board of Directors amongst those who hold important roles or

serve important functions in TIP (the “Employees”);

- (b) to set the maximum number of Options (the “Options”) to be awarded at no cost

to Plan Beneficiaries (the “Beneficiaries”) as 5,000,000, each of which confer the right to:

(a) purchase one ordinary share of the Company (already in portfolio at the date of

approval of the regulations of the Plan (the “Regulations”) or subsequently purchased); or

(b) subscribe one newly issued ordinary share of the Company; or (c) receive from the

Company the payment of any capital gain, intended as the gross amount equal to the

difference between the market value of TIP ordinary shares at the exercise date of the

Option, and the strike price of the option, set at 1.50 Euro;

- (c) to establish that: (a) Directors will be required to hold and not to sell, until the

end of term of the office at the time of each exercise of Options, a stake not below 30%

of the shares acquired during such term of office; (b) Employees will be required to hold

and not to sell, for a period of 3 years from the date of exercise of Options, a stake not

below 30% of the shares purchased;

- (d) to establish that, in case of exercise of the options through payment of capital

gains to the Beneficiaries, the Beneficiaries will have to reinvest in ordinary shares of the

Company not less than 30% of the net amount received; shares deriving from such

reinvestment will have to be held and may not be sold for the periods set by previous

point (C);

- (e) to provide that the Options, exercisable by the Beneficiaries in the period

between January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, will forfeit in advance: (a) for Employees, in

the event of termination of employment for reasons other than (i) voluntary dismissal of

the Employee following request by the same for application of the pension scheme (ii)

wrongful dismissal of the Employee; (b) for Directors, in the event of the contractual

termination of Director’s office for reasons other than (i) wrongful revocation of the

Director (ii) expiration of the statutory period of appointment and non-renewal of the

office or (iii) illness or impediment resulting in the inability and / or impossibility of the

Beneficiary to perform continuously the office as director;


- (f) to provide that the Options will be exercisable also in advance if: (a) the

Company’s extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting deliberates non-recurring transactions

likely to lead to the extinction of the Company or rather the purchase by one or more

parties of a portion of its shares such as to confer to such parties, even if jointly, the

control of the Company in virtue of Article 93 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of February

24, 1998; (b) one or more parties notify, in conformity with and by effect of Article 102.1

of Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24, 1998, their intention to make on a voluntary

basis, a public tender offer or public exchange offer for the Company’s shares; (c) the

term of office of the majority of the Company’s Board of Directors acting at the date of

approval of the regulations is terminated for any reason other than by voluntary dismissal

or revocation of the office with cause; (d) the Company’s Chairman and CEO and/or

Vice Chairman and Managing Director in office at the date of approval of the Plan are

wrongfully dismissed; (e) one or more parties connected to each other, purchase a stake

of the Company’s capital such as to confer to such parties, even if jointly, the control

over the Company, in virtue of Article 93 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24,

1998, or one or more parties, also connected to each other, which are not already

shareholders with a relevant stake at the date of approval of the Regulations, purchase a

stake which allows them to significantly affect the Company's shareholder structure or

purchase a stake in Company’s capital higher that of the single largest shareholder of TIP

at June 30, 2011;

- (g) to agree that the maximum number of 5,000,000 Options will be divided amongst

Beneficiaries as follows:

- total 4,950,000 options to Executive Directors and Employees;

- maximum 50,000 options to other Beneficiaries to be identified afterwards amongst

Employees who hold important roles or serve important functions in TIP.

The Board of Directors on December 9, 2013 has decided to reallocate 925,000 options of the

"Incentive Plan TIP 2011-2014" previously assigned to employees who terminated their

employment in the company and for this reason their allocation has lapsed, and to allocate also

the remaining 50,000 options that today have not been assigned yet, extending to December 31,

2015, the date their exercise.

At December 31, 2013 all 5,000,000 options were allocated.

In the 2013 consolidated financial statements – in accordance with IFRS 2 – options, granted and

not exercised yet at the present date (no. 3,745,000), have been valued according to the cash

settlement methodology; they have been measured at fair value recognized in the profit and loss

as an increase in the personnel expense and directors’ fees offsetting liabilities with directors and

employees. Changes in the fair value related to liabilities with directors and employees are

reported in the profit and loss. The fair value of the options is determined using the applicable

valuation method (in this case “Black & Scholes”), taking into account the terms and conditions

under which the options were granted.

Regarding the option exercise by the employees with the cash settlement methodology before the

current date, the related cost (equal to the gross capital gain) was recognized in the i profit and

loss.


The stock options’ fair value and the actuarial assumptions used for the application of the model

are as follows: TIP Share Price at 30 December 2013 2.290

Option strike price 1.5

First day for option exercise 1-Jan-14

Total 1,350,979

On December 31, 2013 the gains on the liquidation of investments are related to the acquisition –

by an important private investor from Qatar – of the holding companies which control Printemps

Group.

In 2006, TIP had in fact acquired a minority stake in Borletti Group S.C.A. (hereafter "BG"), a

company incorporated under Luxembourg law.

BG is the special purpose vehicle through which TIP with other Italian and foreign investors

acquired - through another corporate vehicle, Printemps Holding Lux SARL (hereafter "PHL")

owned by BG at 30% and at 70% by a professional investor (RREEF) - all the shares of France

Printemps S.A., a French company operating in the field of large-scale retail and management of

shopping malls.

In 2010 in the context of an overall restructuring of the investment also intended to acquire a

portion of the loan originally granted by a third party bank in France Printemps (in this case

Merrill Lynch - within an operation called "Debbie") BG has proposed - and has obtained - to

interpose between the investors and BG itself an additional special purpose vehicle - Borletti

Group Finance SCA, a company limited by shares incorporated under Luxembourg law (hereafter

"BGF"). In the context of this transaction TIP has therefore transferred its position (shareholder

loans and equity) originally held in BG, to BGF.

In 2010, TIP has also increased its stake in BGF by acquiring additional shares from another

shareholder and also by taking over a portion – owned by this latter subject - related to both a

shareholder loan (to BG) and a Profit Participating Facility Agreement (hereafter "PPFA")

existing between the assignor and BG (financing related to the Debbie transaction).

Here below is reported a brief outline of the group structure as a result of the operations in 2010.

In the accounts of TIP on December 31, 2010 the operation was represented as follows:


Financial assets available for sale valued at fair value (participation in BGF) -acquisition cost Euro 101,924 -acquisition expenses Euro 590,184 -non interest-bearing shareholder loan Euro 7,469,826

Euro 8,161,934 Financial receivables Financial receivables from BG for PPFA (Debbie transaction) Euro 546,923

On June 13, 2013 has been signed by BGF an agreement (subject to certain suspending

conditions) with a leading operator from Qatar ("Investor") interested in acquiring all the shares

of BG (and indirectly Printemps) held by BGF. This agreement has then been performed (with

the simultaneous communication by BGF to TIP, which in turn has informed the market) on July

31, 2013.

In particular the acquirer, in addition to acquiring a 30% stake in BG, has granted a loan to the

same BG in order to provide the company with necessary liquidity to both acquire 70% stake in

PHL held by RREEF (to arrive at 100% of PHL) and for the closing of the PPFA existing

towards TIP and other investors (related to the Debbie transaction), which will receive a greater

sum than the one originally spent.

On July 31, 2013 BGF sold to an investor all the BG shares that have been placed in liquidation.

As a result of this transaction, BGF distributed to the shareholders the non interest-bearing loan,

the credit for the PPFA (Debbie transaction) and, subsequently in several tranches, the amounts

relating to the allocation of residual assets.

In the accounts of TIP these operations were represented as follows:

Reimbursement of the non interest-bearing shareholder loan

On August 6, 2013 BGF transferred to TIP 7,468,200 Euro as reimbursement of the shareholder

loan against a credit of 7,469,826 Euro and therefore was accounted a capital loss of 1,626 Euro

classified as financial cost (see Note 15).

Reimbursement of the PPFA financial receivable

On August 6, 2013 were credited to TIP 1,722,077 Euro related to the financial loan acquired for

546,923 Euro.

It has been therefore recognized a gain on the financial loan of 1,175,154 Euro (see Note 7 - 7.3).

Allocation of residual assets

On December 31, 2013 TIP also received, as allocation of the portion of BGF’s residual assets

related to its participation, the first 3 tranches respectively:

- August 6, 2013 Euro 24,532,059

On the basis of what reported above, on December 31, 2013 TIP realized a gain of 31,939,467

Euro. It was also pointed out by the liquidators that the remaining portion of the liquidation

attributable to TIP should be up to a maximum of 990,000 Euro. The value of BGF accounted in

the financial statements was therefore adjusted at the end of the year taking into account the


above information (see Note 15). At December 31, 2013 dividends were collected from the following investees (Euro): Assist Consulting S.r.l. 86,966 Amplifon S.p.A. 410,133 Bolzoni S.p.A. 100,067 Datalogic S.p.A. 560,090 Furn-Invest SA 37,878 Servizi Italia S.p.A. 64,211 Valsoia S.p.A. 41,519

Total (2,499,652) (87,443)

With reference to the available for sale financial assets, consisting of non-controlling interests in

listed companies, these are measured at fair value with fair value gains or losses recognized in

equity. The fair value was identified as indicated in Note (14). If the fair value loss, with respect to

the purchase cost, is due to impairment, an impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss.

For a detail of the adjustments please refer to Appendix 2 of this statement.

As explained in the Notes to the financial statements TIP adopted, starting from 2008, a

methodology aimed at evaluating the possible absence of an active market and to consider

“illiquid” shares for which such an circumstance occurred. Monrif S.p.A., Noemalife S.p.A. and

Valsoia S.p.A. shares as at June 30, 2013, under that methodology, were considered “illiquid” and

therefore subject to a specific valuation aimed at determining the fair value.

TIP, as a result of subsequent and further analyses, considered that the actual new element

introduced by IFRS 13 was the provision included at paragraph B38 according to which in the

cases in which it occurs “a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability in

relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is

needed”. Consequently the factors that are indicative of a significant reduction in the volumes of

activity are not necessarily indicative of the fact that the market is not active anymore and

therefore able to give useful information for the price determination.

Hereafter are reported the effects of the reconsideration for valuation purposes of the application

of IFRS 13 principle, as interpreted in the half yearly consolidated Financial Statements as of June

30, 2013 that was regularly subject to limited auditing, and consequently the valuation effects that


such reconsideration would have had on the basis of what foreseen by accounting principle IAS

8.

The valuation as at June 30, 2013 would have involved compared to January 1, 2013 a negative

change to the equity of fair value reserves and 1,950,629 Euro as impairment loss on available for

sale financial asset in the profit and loss.

As at December 31, 2013, impairment losses in the income statement are related to the investment in Monrif S.p.A. for 1,950,629 euro and in the investment in the not listed company Solgenia S.p.A for 545,437 euro.

With regard to the associate Gruppo IPG Holding S.r.l. TIP provided non interest bearing

shareholder loans. For a correct presentation of such operations and in homogeneity of what

done as at December 31, 2012, the present value of such loans, calculated at December 31, 2013

(date of expiry) at TIP’s borrowing rate, was reclassified to loans and receivables. The benefit

granted to the associate consisting of the difference between the present value and nominal of the

non interest bearing loans, was recognized as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the

investment at December 31, 2013. (14) Non-current available-for-sale financial assets These financial assets refer to non-controlling interests in listed and unlisted companies. Euro December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012

Changes in investments measured at fair value are detailed in Appendix 2. With regards to the measurement of investments in listed companies, please refer to Notes (9) and (23).

With reference to the available-for-sale financial assets represented by non-controlling interests in

listed companies, these are measured at fair value with fair value gains or losses recognised in


equity. The fair value of investments in companies listed in an active market was identified as

their stock market value at the reporting date. If a decrease in their fair value over their cost

constitutes an impairment loss, this is recognised in the profit and loss.

Considering what has been already reported in Note 9, the valuation at June 30, 2013 - in

accordance with the changes introduced by IFRS 13 - would have implied, if compared to January

1, 2013, an overall negative change in equity of 6,411,912 Euro of which 4,461,283 Euro as

negative variation in equity of the fair value reserve and 1,950,629 Euro as negative adjustment of

available for sale asset accounted in the profit and loss. Considering the absence of fair value

increases recorded at June 30, 2013 if compared to January 1, 2013, as the result of evaluation

criteria adopted at the time, under equal economic effect, the approved negative variation in

equity (if compared to June 30, 2013) is equal to 6,865,931 Euro.

Regarding other investments, it is noted that concerning the liquidation process of BGF it has

been specified that the remaining liquidation share of TIP should have a value up to a maximum

of 990,000 Euro. The BGF value recorded in the balance sheet has been adjusted taking into

account the liquidators’ indications.

Regarding the investment in Dafe 4000 S.p.A., the fair value has been updated at December 31,

2013. The related increase was equal to 2,237,150 Euro.

Concerning the investment in Furn-Invest, equal to 14,230,508 Euro, it is believed that there are

no indicators for an impairment with respect to the acquisition value occurred, as already

reported in management report, in April 2013.

Regarding the variation of the investment in Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l., it has been considered:

(i) the first registration of the cost effectively paid in cash on the closing date (80,000,000 Euro),

the deferred price (subject to adjustment) discounted at the closing date (22,206,690 Euro), the

conventional value attributed - since the initial registration - to the maximum value of Ruffini

stake subject to retrocession by Clubsette (2% stake, evaluated in 20,596,800 Euro); (ii) the

valuation at fair value as at 31.12.2013 of the investment equal to 12% (i.e. the initial investment

minus the maximum retrocession percentage due according to the quota adjustment mechanism)

in Ruffini Partecipazioni.

(30) Financial instruments

Financial risk management

Considering the nature of its business, the company is exposed to various types of financial risks

and, in particular, to market price risk in terms of changes in the fair value of its investments and,

marginally, to interest rate risk.

The financial risk management policies adopted by the company are detailed below:

Interest rate risk

The company is exposed to interest rate risks as regards its current financial assets consisting of

bonds held for trading.

Price risk

Considering the nature of its business, the company is exposed to market price risk in terms of

changes in the fair value of its investments.

With reference to investments in listed companies, there is no instrument for an efficient hedging

of a portfolio with characteristics such as that held by the company (small-mid caps with certain

characteristics).

With reference to unlisted companies, the risks associated with:

(a) measurement of such investments, given (i) the absence in such companies of control

systems similar to those required for companies with listed securities, with the consequent

lack of an information flow at least equal to that available for the latter in terms of quantity

and quality and (ii) the difficulty of performing independent checks in such companies and,

therefore, of assessing the thoroughness and accuracy of the information they provide;

(b) the possibility of influencing the management of such investees and aiding their growth,

which is the prerequisite for investment, based on the company’s relations with the

management team and shareholders, and therefore subject to the verification and

development of such relations;

(c) the monetization of such investments, which are not traded in a regulated market,

have not been hedged via specific derivatives since such instruments do not exist. The company

seeks to minimize the risk – albeit in a merchant banking activity, which is therefore risky by

definition – via careful analysis of the company and its sector of reference at the time of entry

into its capital, plus attentive monitoring of the development of investee’s business also after

entry into their capital.

Credit risk

The company’s exposure to credit risk depends on the specific characteristics of each customer as

well as on the type of activity performed.

Before accepting an engagement, thorough analyses are performed of the customer’s credit

worthiness drawing on the wealth of knowledge and contacts enjoyed by the company. In the

case of advisory activity concerning restructuring transactions, the credit risk is higher.


Liquidity risk

The company’s approach to liquidity management is to ensure that, as far as possible, there are

always sufficient funds to honor its obligations on due date.

Historically, because of the nature of its business, the company has never resorted to debt. In

2013 the company used a credit line opened with Banco di Desio S.p.A. and Banca Euromobiliare

S.p.A. for temporary cash requirements. At December 31, 2013 the credit line granted by Banco

di Desio amounted to 20 Euro million, while the one granted by Banca Euromobiliare amounted

to 10 Euro million; both the credit lines are unsecured.

Capital management

The Board of Directors’ policies for capital management envisage maintenance of a high level of

equity in order to maintain a trust-based relationship with investors, thus permitting business

growth.

The parent company repurchases its own shares on the market with timing that depends on

market prices and in compliance with the relevant regulations.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER

31, 2013

(1) Group Business Activities

TIP is an independent investment / merchant bank focusing on medium-sized Italian

companies active in:

1. minority investments, as an active investor, in listed and unlisted companies able to

express “excellence” in their respective sectors; individual operations below 40/50

million euro are - in general - made directly by TIP while those above are sometimes

set according to the scheme of the club deal; 2. advisory activities in corporate finance transactions, especially acquisitions and

disposals through Tamburi & Associati division (T&A);

3. secondary private equity activities: investing in investments held by private equity

funds, banks, financial firms or insurance companies and purchasing stakes of entities

that operate in the private equity sector or similar activities.

(2) Accounting policies

The company was incorporated as a company limited by shares under Italian law and its

registered office is based in Italy.

The company was listed in November 2005 on the Expandi segment of the stock market,

organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.. On December 20, 2010 Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

promoted the company to the STAR segment where its ordinary shares are now traded.

The following financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 is configured as a

separate financial statements as, in accordance with IFRS, it is shipped with the consolidated

financial statements prepared on the same date. The document has been approved by the

Board of Directors on March 4, 2013.

The separate financial statements to December 31, 2013 have been prepared on a going

concern and business continuity basis and are compliant with the assessment criteria set by the

International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards ("IFRS",

"IAS", or international accounting principles) issued by the International Accounting

Standards Board (IASB) and the related interpretations of the International Financial

Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as endorsed by the European Community

Commission with regulation no. 1725/2003 as subsequently amended, as per regulation no.

1606/2002 of the European Parliament.

The separate financial statements in accordance with IAS 1 is composed of the consolidated

income statement, statement of comprehensive income, the statement of the financial

position, the statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the explanatory notes

and is accompanied with the Directors’ report. The financial statements have been prepared in

Euro, without decimals.

The accounting policies adopted to prepare these financial statements are the same as those

adopted in the previous year for the financial statements, except for that described in the


“New accounting standards” section and the valuation criteria for the investments in

associates as reported later on.

The separate financial statements present the data of the previous year for comparative

purposes. Certain comparative figures have been restated compared to the data of the

individual financial statements of the previous year to align them to the accounting principles

used to prepare the financial statements to December 31, 2013. The methods applied to

restate the comparative data and the relative information are presented in the notes.

It should be noted that the variation between the net income of the separate financial

statements of TIP to December 31, 2012 - amounting to 9.3 million Euro - and the net

income restated in the separate financial statements, with reference to the comparative 2012

figure, and equal to 5.2 million Euro, is mainly due to the recognition of shares of profit of

investments accounted for using the equity method, for 4.3 million Euro, and of dividends

received from the associate company Clubtre SpA, for 0.2 million Euro.

The variation between the consolidated shareholders' equity at December 31, 2012 equal to

208.4 million Euro, and restated as a result of the evaluation of the associated company Data

Holding according to the equity method, and the separate financial statements at December

31, 2012 equal to 201,1 million Euro, refers primarily to the reversal of the increase in the fair

value of Prysmian for 11.4 million Euro, classified as AFS for the trámite of Clubtre, to the

reversal of the shares of profit for investments accounted for using the equity method net of

4.3 million Euro, to the recognition of dividends for 0.2 million Euro, to the reconstitution of

the cost of the associated company Data Holding for 2.9 million Euro, to the reversal of

write-downs made in previous years for 5.1 million Euro, and to the recognition of the tax

effect for 0.2 million Euro.

Presentation and disclosures concerning financial instruments are based on the requirements

of IAS 32, as amended and supplemented by IFRS 7.

During the year, no exceptional cases occurred to make the use of the exceptions included in

IAS 1 necessary.

The separate financial statements to December 31, 2013 have been prepared using the general

historical cost criterion, with the exception of derivative financial instruments that are

measured at fair value, investments in associates that are measured using the equity method or

at fair value and current financial assets and AFS financial assets that are measured at fair

value.

The preparation of the separate financial statements at December 31, 2013 required

judgments, estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the application of accounting

policies and the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and revenue. These estimates and

related assumptions are based on previous experience and other factors deemed reasonable in

the circumstances. However, since estimates are involved, the actual results will not necessarily

be the same as those shown herein. Estimates have been used to recognise allowances for


impairment, the fair value of financial instruments, impairment losses, employee benefits and

taxes.

The main accounting policies adopted in the drawing up of the financial statements, as well as

the content and the variations of the individual captions, are detailed hereunder.

New accounting standards

The new documentation issued by IASB and endorsed by the EU, as applicable to these

financial statements, is listed hereunder:

- IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements – the captions related to other comprehensive income

components of the period must be distinguished between components that will never be

reclassified in profit / (loss) for the period and components that could be subsequently

reclassified in profit / (loss) for the period.

- IAS 12 – Income taxes – The amendment, issued by the IASB in December 2010, introduces the

presumption for deferred tax assets that the underlying asset will be recovered entirely through

sale unless there is clear evidence of its recovery can occur with the use. The presumption will

be applied to investment property and assets recorded as plant and equipment or intangible

assets recognised or revaluated at fair value. As a result of these changes the interpretation SIC

21. Income Taxes – Recovery of Revaluated Non-Depreciable Assets – will be repealed. This

change is applicable on a mandatory basis from January 1, 2013.

- IAS 19 – Employee benefits – The standard has been subject to an accounting standard review. In

particular, this amendment removes the option to defer the recognition of actuarial profits and

losses with the “corridor approach”, requiring the presentation in the statement of financial

position of the fund deficit or surplus, the recognition of service cost and net financial expense

registered in the profit and loss, the recognition of actuarial gains and losses arising from re-

measurement of liabilities and assets in the statement of comprehensive income. The new IAS

19 is applicable for annual periods starting from January 1, 2013.

- IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments - disclosures - offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The

amendments to this standard have been introduced to enable users of financial statements to

understand the information on the effects or potential effects of offsetting contracts of

financial assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position. The amendments to IFRS

7 apply mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.

- IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement - the standard, issued by the IASB in May 2011 and applicable

from January 1, 2013, defines fair value, clarifies how it is to be measured and introduces

disclosure common to all assets valued at fair value. The standard applies to all transactions or

balances when another standard requires or permits the measurement at fair value.

The IASB and the IFRIC have both approved some modifications to existing IAS/IFRS


standards and issued new IAS/IFRS standards and new IFRIC interpretations. As the effective

date of these documents is deferred, they have not been adopted in the preparation of these

financial statements.

The main changes include:

- IAS 27 - Separate Financial Statements - Following the issuance of IFRS 10, in May 2011, the

IASB has confined the scope of IAS 27 only to separate financial statements. This standard

specifically regulates the accounting treatment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint

ventures in the separate financial statements and is applicable from January 1, 2014.

- IAS 28 - Investments in associates and joint ventures - On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IAS 28

“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, which disciplines the accounting for

investments in associates and joint ventures, as well as the criteria for the application of the

equity method and has been amended subsequent to the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. The

standard is applicable from 1 January 2014.

- IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements - Issued in May 2011, the standard replaces SIC 1 -

Consolidation - special purpose entities - and parts of IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate

financial statements. This standard is applicable from January 1, 2014.

- IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements - The standard, issued by the IASB in May 2011 which will replace

IAS 31 - Interests in joint ventures - and SIC 13 – Jointly-Controlled Entities - Contributions by

venturers – is applicable from January 1, 2014. This standard provides criteria for the

identification of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations arising from such

arrangements, rather than their legal form and it foresees the equity method as unique

accounting method for investments in joint ventures in the consolidated financial statements.

- IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities - The standard, issued by the IASB in May

2011 and applicable from January 1, 2014, specifically requires disclosures to be provided for

each kind of investment, including subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements, special

purpose entities and other unconsolidated structured entities.

- IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – On December 16, 2011 the IASB issued some

amendments to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: presentation, in order to clarify the application

of certain criteria for offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The amendments should be

applied on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.

- IAS 36 - Disclosure on the recoverable value of financial assets - in May 2013, the IASB issued

amendments to IAS 36 - Disclosure on the recoverable value of financial assets, to clarify the

information to be provided about the recoverable value of assets, such when value is based on

fair value net of costs to sell. Changes affecting only those assets whose value has decreased

apply retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014.


Accounting policies

The accounting policies used to draw up the separate financial statements at December 31, 2013

are shown below.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recognised at historical cost, inclusive of ancillary costs

directly attributable thereto and necessary to bring the asset to working condition for the

intended use for which it was purchased. If significant components of an item of property, plant

and equipment have different useful lives, these components are recognised separately.

Property, plant and equipment are recognised net of accumulated depreciation and any

impairment losses calculated according to the methods described later on.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis according to the asset’s estimated useful life,

which is reviewed annually. Any changes, when necessary, are applied prospectively. The main

depreciation rates used are as follows:

- Furniture and fittings 12%

- Miscellaneous equipment and appliances 15%

- Electronic office equipment 20%

- Mobile phones 20%

- Equipments 15%

- Cars 25%

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is regularly tested for impairment, if

events or changes in circumstances suggest that it is not recoverable. If such an indication exists

and if the carrying amount exceeds the expected recoverable amount, the assets are impaired to

reflect their recoverable amount. Their recoverable amount is the higher of their net selling price

and value in use. In defining value in use, expected future cash flows are discounted to present

value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market estimate of the time value of

money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss

under depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses. These impairment losses are reversed if

the reasons causing them cease to exist.

When an asset is sold, or when its use is not expected to generate future economic benefits, it

is derecognised and any loss or profit (calculated as the difference between the disposal value

and carrying amount) is immediately recognised in the profit and loss.

GOODWILL

Business combinations are accounted for applying the purchase method. Goodwill is the excess

of purchase cost over the acquirer’s share of the net fair value of identifiable assets and of

present and contingent liabilities. After initial recognition, goodwill is decreased by any

cumulative impairment losses, calculated using the methods described later on.


Goodwill stemming from acquisitions made prior to January 1, 2004 is recognised at deemed

cost, i.e., its carrying amount in the last set of annual financial statements prepared in

accordance with previously applied accounting policies (December 31, 2003). When the IFRS-

compliant opening balance sheet was prepared, acquisitions completed before 1 January 2004

were not restated.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in

circumstances occur that may cause impairment losses to emerge. At the acquisition date, any

goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit

from the acquisition’s effects. Any impairment loss is identified by considering each CGU’s

ability to generate cash flows able to recover the portion of goodwill allocated thereto, using the

methods indicated earlier in the section on Property, plant and equipment. If the CGU’s

recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount attributed thereto, the related impairment

loss is recognised.

This impairment loss is not reversed if the reasons causing it cease to exist.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets are recognised at cost, calculated using the same approach detailed for


Other intangible assets with a finite useful life are recognised net of their related accumulated

amortisation and any impairment losses calculated in the same way as previously detailed for


Useful life is reviewed annually and any changes, when necessary, are applied prospectively.

Gains or losses arising from disposal of an intangible asset are calculated as the difference

between the asset’s disposal value and carrying amount. They are recognised in profit or loss

at the time of disposal.

EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES

Associates are entities over whose financial and operating policy decisions the company

exercises

significant influence, even without owning control. Significant influence is assumed to exist

when

the company exercises between 20% and 50% of another entity’s voting rights (between 10%

and

50% if the company is listed). For the transition from the individual financial statements

prepared until December 31, 2012 to the separate financial statements prepared as of January

1, 2013, investments in associates are accounted for in the separate financial statements at cost

rather than according to the equity method as carried out in the individual financial

statements.

The cost of these investments has been obtained by canceling the previous adjustments

related to the valuation with the equity method.


NON-CURRENT AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE FINANCIAL ASSETS

Available-for-sale financial assets (AFS financial assets) consist of investments in other

companies. They are measured at fair value and any fair value gains or losses are recognised in

equity. If the fair value loss is an impairment loss, this is recognised in the profit and loss. If

the conditions leading to the recognition of the impairment loss cease to exist, the reversal of

the impairment loss is recognised in equity.

In the case of investments in listed companies, the fair value is identified using the market

value at the reporting date. In the case of investments in unlisted companies, the fair value is

identified as the value in use based on valuation techniques. These valuation techniques

include comparison with values emerging in recent similar transactions and other valuation

techniques based substantially on an analysis of the investee’s ability to generate future cash

flows, discounted to present value to reflect the time value of money and the specific risks of

the business activity.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a price quoted on a regulated market, and

whose fair value cannot be measured reliably, are measured at cost, reduced for any impairment

losses.

The choice between the aforementioned methodologies is not optional, since they must be

applied in hierarchical order: absolute priority is given to official prices quoted on active markets

(effective market quotes - Level 1) or for assets and liabilities measured based on valuation

techniques which refer to observable market parameters (comparable approaches - level 2) and

the lowest priority to assets and liabilities whose fair value is calculated on the basis of valuation

techniques that refer to parameters that are not observable in the market and therefore more

discretionary (market model - level 3).

The company considered objective evidence of impairment of its equity instruments listed on

active markets – in relation to the nature of its investment portfolio featuring Italian small-mid

caps – the presence of a market price at the reporting date of at least 50% lower than the

original purchase price or the prolonged presence, for over 18 months, of a market value below

cost. In any case, the company also analyses those equity instruments with values within the

above mentioned threshold and – where deemed appropriate – recognises impairment losses

thereon.

TRADE AND FINANCIAL RECEIVABLES

They are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, adjusted

as appropriate for sums considered uncollectible.

CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS AND AFS FINANCIAL ASSETS

Current financial assets consist of securities that are short-term investments of cash. They are

therefore classified as held for trading and measured at fair value thorough profit and loss.

Purchases and sales of securities are recognised and derecognised on the settlement date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily


convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, net cash and cash equivalents consist of cash

and cash equivalents net of bank overdrafts at the reporting date.

TRADE AND FINANCIAL PAYABLES Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

In particular regarding the convertible bonds issued during the year, based on the instructions of

IAS 32, the company has recognised, separately the component which generates the financial

liability (measured at the amortised cost) and has separated the implicit option granted to the

owner of the instrument to convert a portion of the loan into an equity instrument.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERSONNEL EXPENSES

The employee benefits payable on or at the end of the employment relationship through defined

benefit plans are recognised over the vesting period. The liability related to defined benefit plans,

net of any plan assets, is determined using actuarial assumptions and is recognised on an accruals

basis in line with the services rendered to obtain the benefits; the valuation of the liability is

made by independent actuaries. The company provides additional benefits to certain employees

through a stock option plan.

In accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payment – these plans are a component of the

beneficiaries’ remuneration and provide for the procedures of the "cash settlement" as

regulation. Therefore, the related cost is represented by the stock options’ fair value at the grant

date and it is recognised in the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period between

the grant date and the maturity, offsetting the corresponding liability.

TREASURY SHARES

Treasury shares are recognised as a reduction in equity. The original cost of the treasury shares

and any profit deriving from their subsequent sale are also recognised in equity.

REVENUE Revenue is recognised to the extent that its fair value can be reliably determined and it is probable that the related economic benefits will be enjoyed. According to the type of transaction, revenue is recognised as follows:

revenue from investment banking services is recognised based on the activities’ stage

of completion. For practical reasons, when services are rendered via an indeterminate

number of actions in a definite period of time, revenue is recognised on a straight-line

basis over the definite period, unless it is evident that other methods provide better

representation of such services’ stage of completion;

success fees that accrue upon performance of a significant action are recognised as

revenue when the significant action has been completed.

If it is not possible to measure the fair value of revenue reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of costs borne which are deemed to be recoverable.


GAINS AND LOSSES FROM THE SALE OF INVESTMENTS AND SECURITIES Gains and losses arising from the sale of investments and securities are recognised on an accruals basis, also transferring any fair value gains or losses previously recognised in equity to profit or loss.

FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSE Financial income and expense are recognised on an accruals basis according to interest accruing on the carrying amount of the related financial assets and liabilities using the effective interest method.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive their payment is established. INCOME TAXES

Current income taxes for the year are calculated on the basis of the estimated taxable income

and in compliance with current regulations. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are calculated on

the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the

relevant tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognised when their recovery is considered

probable, i.e., when there are expected to be sufficient future tax profits to enable the

realisation of these assets. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each

reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities are always recognized in compliance with the IAS 12.

(3) Basis of presentation The choices made by the company as regards financial statements presentation are summarised as follows:

- Statement of financial position: according to IAS 1, assets and liabilities should be

classified as current and non-current or, alternatively, according to order of liquidity.

The company has opted for the current/non-current classification;

- Income statement and statement of comprehensive income: IAS 1 alternatively

requires classification of captions based on either their nature or function. The

company has decided to use the classification based on their nature;

- Statement of cash flows: in accordance with IAS 7, the statement of cash flows

presents cash flows for the year, allocating them to operating, investing and financing

activities.

(4) Segment reporting

The company operates in the investment banking and merchant banking segments. The

activities performed by senior management in these business areas, in terms of marketing

initiatives, outward institutional initiatives and involvement in the various deals, are highly

integrated. Furthermore, also as regards the execution activity, this has been organised with

the purpose of adding flexibility to the use of “on-call” analysts when needed in advisory or

equity activities.

Due to this choice, it is impossible to provide separate operating and financial representation

of the different business segments. This is because splitting the cost of the work of senior

management and analysts based on a series of estimates, linked in turn to parameters that may


be surpassed by effective efficiency, would lead to significant distortion of business segments’

profitability, thus making such information meaningless.

For this reason in this financial statements are given details of revenue of the advisory

segment, excluding “other revenue”.

In order to encourage company management to attain the objective of creating value for the

shareholders, a stock option plan approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting on April 29, 2011 is

currently in place. The Board of Directors of TIP subsequently defined and regulated – on 4

August 2011 – the terms, conditions and procedures of execution of the plan. More

specifically, it resolved:

- (a) to adopt the regulations of “TIP 2011/2014 Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”) addressed

to the Company’s Executive Directors (the “Directors”) and employees who will be

identified by the Board of Directors amongst those who hold important roles or serve

important functions in TIP (the “Employees”);

- (b) to set the maximum number of Options (the “Options”) to be awarded at no cost

to Plan Beneficiaries (the “Beneficiaries”) as 5,000,000, each of which confer the right

to: (a) purchase one ordinary share of the Company (already in portfolio at the date of

approval of the regulations of the Plan (the “Regulations”) or subsequently

purchased); or (b) subscribe one newly issued ordinary share of the Company; or (c)

receive from the Company the payment of any capital gain, intended as the gross

amount equal to the difference between the market value of TIP ordinary shares at the

exercise date of the Option, and the strike price of the option, set at 1.50 Euro;

- (c) to establish that: (a) Directors will be required to hold and not to sell, until the end

of term of the office at the time of each exercise of Options, a stake not below 30%

of the shares acquired during such term of office; (b) Employees will be required to

hold and not to sell, for a period of 3 years from the date of exercise of Options, a

stake not below 30% of the shares purchased;

- (d) to establish that, in case of exercise of the options through payment of capital

gains to the Beneficiaries, the Beneficiaries will have to reinvest in ordinary shares of

the Company not less than 30% of the net amount received; shares deriving from

such reinvestment will have to be held and may not be sold for the periods set by

previous point (C);

- (e) to provide that the Options, exercisable by the Beneficiaries in the period between

January 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, will forfeit in advance: (a) for Employees, in the

event of termination of employment for reasons other than (i) voluntary dismissal of

the Employee following request by the same for application of the pension scheme (ii)

- (g) to agree that the maximum number of 5,000,000 Options will be divided amongst

Beneficiaries as follows:

- total 4,950,000 options to Executive Directors and Employees;

- maximum 50,000 options to other Beneficiaries to be identified afterwards

amongst Employees who hold important roles or serve important functions in TIP.

The Board of Directors on December 9, 2013 has decided to reallocate n. 925,000 options

referred to the "Incentive Plan TIP 2011-2014" previously assigned to figures who have

terminated their employment with the company and whose rights, for this reason, have decayed,

and also to allocate the remaining n. 50,000 options that to date have not yet been assigned,

extending to December 31, 2015, the date of exercise of the options.

As of December 31, 2013 all n. 5,000,000 options were therefore allocated.

In the 2013 separate financial statements – in accordance with IFRS 2 – options granted but

to date not yet exercised (n. 3.745.000) have been valued according to the cash settlement

methodology; they have been measured at fair value recognized in the profit and loss as an

increase in the personnel expense and directors’ fees offsetting liabilities with directors and

employees. Changes in the fair value related to liabilities with directors and employees are

reported in the profit and loss. The fair value of the options is determined using the applicable

valuation method (in this case “Black & Scholes”), taking into account the terms and

conditions under which the options were granted. With regard to the options exercised by

employees (no. 1,255,000) prior to the current date, according to the cash settlement

methodology, the relative cost (equivalent to the gross capital gain) was recognized in the

profit and loss.

The stock options’ fair value and the actuarial assumptions used for the application of the


model are as follows:

TIP Share Price at December 30, 2013 2.290

Option strike price 1,5

First day for option exercise 1-Jan-14

Last day for option exercise 31-Dec-15

Historical Star Index average volatility (3 years) 15.52%

Expected average dividend yield (with respect to share price) 2.50%

No. options exercised at December 31, 2013 (cash settlement)

1,255,000

TIP shares issued at December 31, 2013 (no.) 136,047,488

Under these estimates the total cost to be included in the personnel cost for 2013 is equal to

2,630,355 Euro, while the debt amounts to 2,736,155 Euro (see Note 29).

At December 31, 2013 the company’s headcount was as follows: December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012

White-collars 8 8 Junior managers 2 3 Managers 2 2

Total 12 13

The Chairman/Managing Director and the Vice Chairman/Managing Director are not

employees of the company or its subsidiaries. Note also that the company has interns and that

the subsidiaries have no employees.

On December 31, 2013 the gains on the liquidation of investments are related to the

acquisition - by an important private investor from Qatar – of the holding companies which

control Printemps Group.

In 2006, TIP had in fact acquired a minority stake in Borletti Group S.C.A. (hereafter "BG"), a

company incorporated under Luxembourg law.

BG is the special purpose vehicle through which TIP with other Italian and foreign investors

acquired - through another corporate vehicle, Printemps Holding Lux SARL (hereafter

"PHL") owned by BG at 30% and at 70% by a professional investor (RREEF) - all the shares

of France Printemps S.A., a French company operating in the field of large-scale retail and

management of shopping malls.

In 2010 in the context of an overall restructuring of the investment also intended to acquire a

portion of the loan originally granted by a third party bank in France Printemps (in this case

Merrill Lynch - within an operation called "Debbie") BG has proposed - and has obtained - to

interpose between the investors and BG itself an additional special purpose vehicle - Borletti

Group Finance SCA, a company limited by shares incorporated under Luxembourg law

(hereafter "BGF"). In the context of this transaction TIP has therefore transferred its position

(shareholder loans and equity) originally held in BG, to BGF.

In 2010, TIP has also increased its stake in BGF by acquiring additional shares from another

shareholder and also by taking over a portion – owned by this latter investor - related to both

a shareholder loan (to BG) and a Profit Participating Facility Agreement (hereafter "PPFA")

existing between the assignor and BG (financing related to the Debbie transaction).

Here below is reported a brief outline of the group structure as a result of the transactions in

2010.

In the accounts of TIP at December 31, 2010 the transaction was represented as follows:


Financial assets available for sale valued at fair value (participation in BGF) -acquisition cost Euro 101,924 -acquisition expenses Euro 590,184 -non interest-bearing shareholder loan Euro 7,469,826

Euro 8,161,934 Financial receivables Financial receivables from BG for PPFA (Debbie transaction) Euro 546,923

On June 13, 2013 it has been signed by BGF an agreement (subject to certain suspending

conditions) with a leading operator from Qatar ("Investor") interested in acquiring all the

shares of BG (and indirectly Printemps) held by BGF. This agreement has then been executed

(with the simultaneous communication by BGF to TIP, which in turn has informed the

market) on July 31, 2013.

In particular the acquirer, in addition to acquiring a 30% stake in BG, has granted a loan to the

same BG in order to provide the company with the liquidity necessary to both acquire the

70% stake in PHL held by RREEF (to arrive at 100% of PHL) and for the closing of the

PPFA existing towards TIP and the other investors (related to the Debbie project), which will

receive a greater sum than the one originally spent.

On July 31, 2013 BGF sold to an investor all the shares of BG, which has been placed on

liquidation. As a result of this transaction, BGF distributed to the shareholders the non

interest-bearing loan, the credit for the PPFA (Debbie transaction) and, subsequently in

several tranches, the amounts relating to the allocation of residual assets.

In the accounts of TIP these transactions were represented as follows:

Reimbursement of the non interest-bearing shareholder loan

On August 6, 2013 BGF transferred to TIP 7,468,200 Euro as reimbursement of the

shareholder loan against a credit of 7,469,826 Euro and therefore was accounted a capital loss

of 1,626 Euro classified as financial cost (see Note 15).

Reimbursement of the PPFA financial receivable

On August 6, 2013 were credited to TIP 1,722,077 Euro related to the financial loan acquired

for 546,923 Euro.

It has been therefore recognised a gain on the financial loan of 1,175,154 Euro (see Note 7 -

7.3).

Allocation of residual assets

On December 31, 2013 TIP also received, as allocation of the portion of BGF’s residual assets

related to its participation, the first 3 tranches respectively:

-On August 6, 2013 Euro 24,532,059

On the basis of what reported above, on December 31, 2013 TIP also realised a gain of 31,939,467 Euro. It was also pointed out by the liquidators that the remaining portion of the liquidation attributable to TIP should be up to a maximum of 990,000 Euro. The value of BGF accounted in the financial statements was therefore adjusted at the end of the year taking into account the above information (see Note 15). 2013 dividends were collected from the following investees (Euro): Assist Consulting S.r.l.

(8) Net impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets Euro December 31, 2013 December 31, 2012 Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets (2,499,652) (87,443)

Total (2,499,652) (87,443)

With reference to the available for sale financial assets, consisting of non-controlling interests

in listed companies, these are measured at fair value with fair value gains or losses recognized

in equity. The fair value was identified as indicated in Note (14). If the fair value loss, with

respect to the purchase cost, is due to impairment, an impairment loss is recognized in the

profit and loss.

For a detail of the adjustments please refer to Appendix 2 of this statement.

As explained in the Notes to the financial statements TIP adopted, starting from 2008, a

methodology aimed at evaluating the possible absence of an active market and to consider

“illiquid” shares for which such a circumstance occurred. Monrif S.p.A., Noemalife S.p.A. and

Valsoia S.p.A.’s shares as at June 30, 2013, under such methodology, were considered

“illiquid” and therefore subject to a specific valuation aimed at determining the fair value.

TIP, as a result of subsequent and further analyses and of the dialogues with Consob taking

into account the criticalities highlighted by the latter, considered that the actual new element

introduced by IFRS 13 was the provision included at paragraph B38 according to which in the

cases in which it occurs “a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability in

relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability, further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices

is needed”. Consequently the factors that are indicative of a significant reduction in the volumes

of activity are not necessarily indicative of the fact that the market is not active anymore and

therefore able to give useful information for the price determination.

Below are presented the effects relating to the review of the application of the IFRS 13 for

valuation purposes, as interpreted in the consolidated half-yearly financial report on June 30,

2013 duly subject to a limited audit, and consequently the valuation effects that such a revision

would have implied on the basis of what stated by the IAS 8.

The valuation as at June 30, 2013 would have resulted, if compared to January 1, 2013, in

1,950,629 Euro of negative value adjustment of financial assets available for sale in the profit

and loss.

On December 31, 2013 impairment losses in the profit and loss are related to the securities Monrif S.p.A. for 1,950,629 Euro and to securities of the not listed investee company Solgenia S.p.A. for 545,437 Euro.

(*) The tax burden is mainly due to the application of PEX regime on capital gains on equity investments. In

particular,the tax burden is reduced by the non-taxable capital gain related to the liquidation of Borletti Group.

Deferred taxes recognised directly in equity

The company recorded directly in equity a decrease in deferred taxes of 270,722 Euro in 2013

related to the value increase of the available-for-sale financial assets. (10) Property, plant and equipment The following table details the variations occurring in this caption:

Goodwill of 9,806,574 Euro refers to the merger of the subsidiary Tamburi & Associati S.p.A.

into TIP S.p.A. Under IAS 36, as an intangible asset with an indefinite life, goodwill should not be amortised but subject to impairment test at least annually. The recoverable amount was estimated on the basis of the value in use, calculated on the basis of the following assumptions:

forecast normalised perpetual cash flows of the advisory business;

terminal value based on perpetual growth rate of 2%;

discount rate corresponding to unlevered cost of equity (ke unlevered) of 9.50%; reaching the conclusion that the carrying amount of goodwill was fair and recoverable. The following table illustrates the variations in “Other intangible assets”:

Changes in investments measured at fair value are detailed in Appendix 2. With regard to the measurement of investments in listed companies, please refer to Notes (8) and (23).

With reference to the available-for-sale financial assets represented by non-controlling

interests in listed companies, these are measured at fair value with fair value gains or losses

recognised in equity. The fair value of investments in companies listed in an active market was

identified as their stock market value at the reporting date. If a decrease in their fair value over

their cost constitutes an impairment loss, this is recognised in the profit and loss.

Considering what has been already reported in Note (8), the valuation at June 30, 2013 - in

accordance with the changes introduced by IFRS 13 - would have implied, if compared to

January 1, 2013, an overall change in equity of 6,411,912 Euro of which 4,461,283 Euro as

negative variation in equity of the fair value reserve and 1,950,629 Euro as negative adjustment

of available for sale asset accounted in the profit and loss. Considering the absence of fair

value increases recorded at June 30, 2013 if compared to January 1, 2013, as the result of

evaluation criteria adopted at the time, under equal economic effect, the approved negative

variation in equity (if compared to June 30, 2013) is equal to 6,865,931Euro.

Regarding other investments, it is noted that concerning the liquidation process of BGF it has

been specified that the remaining liquidation share of TIP should have a value up to a

taking into account the liquidators’ indications.

Regarding the investment in Dafe 4000 S.p.A., the fair value has been updated at December

31, 2013. The increase was equal to 2,237,150 Euro.

Regarding the variation of the investment in Ruffini Partecipazioni S.r.l., it has been

considered: (i) the first registration of the cost effectively paid in cash on the closing date

(80,000,000 Euro), the deferred price (subject to adjustment) discounted at the closing date

(22,206,690 Euro), the conventional value attributed - since the initial registration - to the

maximum value of Ruffini stake subject to retrocession by Clubsette (2% stake, evaluated in

20,596,800 Euro); (ii) the valuation at fair value as at 31.12.2013 of the investment equal to

12% (i.e. the initial investment minus the maximum retrocession percentage due according to

the quota adjustment mechanism) in Ruffini Partecipazioni (whose increase is mainly due to

the market price of Moncler at 31/12/2013).

price of 1.80 Euro each, listed on the Italian stock market, at a nominal amount of 0.52 each,

having a regular yield and the same characteristics as TIP’s ordinary shares outstanding at the

Paid-up and subscribed share capital amounts to 70,744,694 Euro and consists of 136,047,488

ordinary shares with a nominal amount of 0.52 each.

Legal reserve

were transferred 12,483,119 Euro to available for sale financial assets reserve. The share

premium reserve has increased by 928 Euro following the conversion of 725 warrants.

40,000,000 Euro. The conversion rate is equal to 20% of the nominal value. In 2012, the PCB

was entirely placed. As the PCB is a “structured” financial instrument, TIP has measured

separately the two “financial liability” and “equity” components on the basis of indications

provided by IAS 32.

At September 30, 2013 the “liability component” was equal to 39,918,604 Euro.

flows at issuance and the liquidity deriving from the subscription of the convertible

component of the PCB.

The value of the “equity component” is equal to 104,434 Euro and will not change until the

PCB maturity date.

(30) Financial instruments

Financial risk management

Considering the nature of its business, the company is exposed to various types of financial

risks and, in particular, to market price risk in terms of changes in the fair value of its

investments and, marginally, to interest rate risk.

The financial risk management policies adopted by the company are detailed below:

Interest rate risk

The company is exposed to interest rate risks as regards its current financial assets consisting

of bonds held for trading.

Price risk

Considering the nature of its business, the company is exposed to market price risk in terms of

changes in the fair value of its investments.

As regards investments in listed companies, there is no instrument for an efficient hedging of


a portfolio with characteristics such as that held by the company (small-mid caps with certain

characteristics).

With regard to unlisted companies, the risks associated with:

(a) measurement of such investments, given (i) the absence in such companies of control

systems similar to those required for companies with listed securities, with the

consequent lack of an information flow at least equal to that available for the latter in

terms of quantity and quality and (ii) the difficulty of performing independent checks in

such companies and, therefore, of assessing the thoroughness and accuracy of the

information they provide;

(b) the possibility of influencing the management of such investees and aiding their growth,

which is the prerequisite for investment, based on the company’s relations with the

management team and shareholders, and therefore subject to the verification and

development of such relations;

(c) the monetization of such investments, which are not traded in a regulated market;

have not been hedged via specific derivatives since such instruments do not exist. The

company seeks to minimize the risk – albeit in a merchant banking activity, which is therefore

risky by definition – via careful analysis of the company and its sector of reference at the time

of entry into its capital, plus attentive monitoring of the development of investee’s business

also after entry into their capital.

Credit risk

The company’s exposure to credit risk depends on the specific characteristics of each

customer as well as on the type of activity performed.

Before accepting an engagement, thorough analyses are performed of the customer’s credit

worthiness drawing on the wealth of knowledge and contacts enjoyed by the company. In the

case of advisory activity concerning restructuring transactions, the credit risk is higher.

Liquidity risk

The company’s approach to liquidity management is to ensure that, as far as possible, there are

always sufficient funds to honour its obligations on due date.

Historically, because of the nature of its business, the company has never resorted to debt. In

2013, the company partially used the credit lines granted by Banco di Desio and Banca

Euromobiliare S.p.A. to cover temporary liquidity requirements.

At December 31, 2013 the credit line granted by Banco di Desio amounted to 20 Euro million

while the one granted by Banca Euromobiliare amounted to 10 Euro million. Both the credit

lines are unsecured.

Capital management

The Board of Directors’ policies for capital management envisage maintenance of a high level

of equity in order to maintain a trust-based relationship with investors, thus permitting

business growth.


The company repurchases its own shares on the market with timing that depends on market

prices and in compliance with the relevant regulations.

Supervisory Body and CEOs

The following tables show the financial instruments of TIP directly or indirectly, including via
