Provel  S.r.l.
Financial Statements
As of For the Period Ended September 30, 2010

NOTE 1—FORM AND CONTENT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited interim financial statements of Provel S.r.l. (or the “Company”) are prepared in accordance with current statutory legislation.

The accounting policies are consistent with the Italian Civil Code related to financial statements interpreted and integrated by the accounting principles established or adopted by the Italian Accounting Profession (collectively, “Italian Accounting Principles”), and in particular with reference to OIC 30 on preparation of unaudited interim financial statements.

Italian Accounting Principles differ in certain material respects from the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company's accounting policies for financial reporting in accordance with Italian Accounting Principles do not differ materially from US GAAP.

The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes are presented in a reclassified format, which differs from Provel’s financial statements and disclosures which are prepared in accordance with Italian legal requirements. The format presented does not result in any modification of the portions attributable to Provel quota holders’ equity and net income as reported on an Italian Accounting Principles basis. All amounts are in thousands of Euro (or “€”), unless otherwise specified.

The quotas of Provel are owned by Glas s.s. (98% of quota capital) and by Francesco Buson (2% of quota capital).

The Company prepared its unaudited interim financial statements in accordance with the general principles of prudence and accruals-based accounting on a going concern basis.
 
NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied by Provel according to Italian Accounting Principles, consistently with prior years, are as follows:

CASH

Cash is stated at nominal value.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE

Receivables are stated at estimated realizable value through the specific provision for bad debts. Identified individual risks are accounted for through appropriate individual valuation adjustments, and general credit risks through general valuation adjustments of receivables. The Company generally does not require collateral for receivables subject to credit risk. Low-interest and non-interest bearing items with more than one year to maturity are not discounted. Payables are stated at nominal value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been recorded at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction; profit and losses on exchange rates are booked in the statement of operations on the day of collection or payment; assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies still outstanding at year-end are remeasured at the prevailing rate at the balance sheet date, and any resulting unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations as interest income or expense, as appropriate.

 
5

 
INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable market value, with cost being determined on a basis which approximates a first-in, first-out method.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, Plant and Equipment are entered at purchase or construction cost, including any directly attributable charges. No voluntary re-valuations were performed and no interest expenses have been capitalized on the Property, Plant and Equipment.
Depreciation reflects the estimated useful life of the asset. The depreciation rates, which are the same as for the prior financial year, are as follow:

   
Rates
 
Property:
     
Light construction
    10 %
Industrial building
    3 %
Plant and machinery
    12 %
Specific plant
    12 %
         
Equipment:
       
General equipment
    40 %
Furniture and fittings
    12 %
Electronic office machines and computers
    20 %
Cars
    25 %
Motor vehicles and similar
    20 %
Mobile radio communication system
    25 %

Depreciation was calculated for assets entering into service during the financial year on the basis of the effective date the assets have been placed into use. Construction in progress is not depreciated.

The maintenance and repair costs are capitalized on the Property, Plant and Equipment only if they generate an effective increase in the useful life or operating functionality of the assets; otherwise they are expensed to the statement of operations as incurred.
 
EMPLOYEE TERMINATION INDEMNITY

Employee termination indemnity is determined in accordance with the relevant current laws. The amount of employee termination indemnity shown in other liabilities within the balance sheets reflects the total amount of the indemnity, net of any advances taken, that each employee of  Provel would be entitled to receive if termination were to occur as of the respective balance sheet dates.
 
PROVISIONS FOR CONTIGENCIES AND CHARGES

Provisions for risks and charges are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

RECOGNITION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES

Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

 
6

 
Revenues are recorded in the statement of operations when title of ownership passes to the customer, which is generally at the point of shipment for foreign customers and at the time the goods are delivered for Italian customers. Expenses are also recognized on an accrual basis, with amounts recognized in the statement of operations based on when the goods and or services are received, regardless of payment terms in advance or after the receipt of the goods or services.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Current income taxes are computed on the basis of the estimated income tax charge according to the tax laws in force in Italy; the related income tax payable is shown net of payments on account, withholding taxes and tax credits in “Other current liabilities”. Any net receivable position is shown in “Taxes receivable”.

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities that are determined under the liability method. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates, and the expected future benefit of net operating loss carry-forward. The tax benefit of tax loss carry-forwards is recorded only when there is a reasonable certainty of realization.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset whenever allowed by local Italian tax laws.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Italian Accounting Principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Current tax expense

Deferred tax expense

Total income taxes
    (255 )
 
In Italy there are two income taxes:

-
IRES : Income tax of the company’s operating income, tax rate  at 27,5%.
 
-  
IRAP: Regional tax on productive activities, tax rate at 3,9% charged on  a specific taxable income named “net value of production” which is determined by the gross turnover, plus the increase in stock, less production expenses (depreciation included). As important feature of this tax, the interest costs and the payroll costs are not deductible.
 
To calculate taxable profit for IRES purposes, the most significant positive timing and permanent differences considered are roughly € 94 at September 30, 2010  mainly due to non-deductible costs related to provision for bad debts and Company’s cars.

To calculate taxable profit for IRAP purposes, the most significant positive timing and permanent differences considered are roughly € 839 at September 30, 2010 mainly due to non-deductible costs related to management fees

and labor costs, while the negative differences amount to total approximately € 149 at September 30, 2010 mainly due to labor costs.
