Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Condensed
Interim financial statements

Q3 Interim report at 30 September 2014 –Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim financial statements

1. Group structure and activities

_______________

Indesit Company S.p.A. (the “Company” or “Indesit Company”) is an Italian company based in Fabriano (Italy).
The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Indesit Group”) are active in the production and sale of white goods, namely household appliances for the cooking sector (cookers, ovens and hobs), the cooling sector (refrigerators and freezers), and the washing sector (washing machines, combined washer-dryers, dryers and dishwashers). From 2013, the Group also sells small domestic appliances.

Indesit identifies the Group as its sole operating segment pursuant to IFRS 8.
Consistent with para. 33 of IFRS 8, information is provided about the geographical areas in which the Group operates.

It should be noted that due to the cyclical nature of the Household Appliance sector, revenues and operating profit are higher in the second half of the year.

2. Approval of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements (unaudited) at 30 September 2014
_______________

The consolidated condensed interim financial statements (unaudited) for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014 were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 January 2015.

3. Significant events subsequent to period end
_______________

On 14 October 2014, Whirlpool Italia Holdings S.r.l. (“Whirlpool Italia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whirlpool Corporation, completed its acquisition of Indesit Company shares from 1) Fineldo S.p.A. and 2) certain members of the Merloni family pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered into with each in July 2014, which, together with certain other Indesit shares acquired by Whirlpool Corporation in July 2014 and subsequently transferred to Whirlpool Italia, gave Whirlpool Italia ownership of 60.4% of Indesit’s issued share capital. This represented 66.8% of Indesit’s issued and outstanding stock, allowing Whirlpool to control both the ordinary and the extraordinary shareholders’ meetings of Indesit. The aggregate sale price for these share purchases was €758 million.

On 28 November 2014, Whirlpool Italia completed its mandatory tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares of Indesit. Whirlpool Italia received tenders for a number of shares equal to 91.4% of the total shares available for purchase in the mandatory tender offer, increasing Whirlpool Italia’s aggregate ownership interest in Indesit’s issued share capital to 97.4%. The aggregate purchase price

11

Q3 Interim report at 30 September 2014 –Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim financial statements

for the shares purchased at settlement of the mandatory tender offer was €344.3 million.

Whirlpool Italia acquired the remaining shares of Indesit on 3 December 2014, thereby obtaining a 100% ownership interest in the company, and Indesit delisted from the electronic stock market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on the same date. The aggregate purchase price for the remaining shares purchased at this date was €32 million.

The change of control triggered the clause, set in the key management personnel agreements, to provision the termination benefit.
The clause relates to three out of five directors/managers with strategic relevancy, considering that 2 out of five left the Company on voluntary decision before the change of control.

Moreover, assumptions, supporting several assets recoverability included in this set of accounts, might be different in the view of the New Shareholder.

4. Accounting Policies

4.1 Basis of presentation
_______________

These unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months period ended 30 September 2014 do not include all the information and disclosures required in the consolidated financial statements. They do not include all the information required for annual financial statements and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013. In particular, the unaudited consolidated income statement, the undaudited consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position, the unaudited consolidated cash flow statement and the unaudited statement of changes in consolidated equity are presented in extended form, using the formats adopted for the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2013. The comparative figures for the nine months period ended 30 September 2013 are also unaudited.

Additionally, the following notes are presented in summary form and, accordingly, do not include all the information required for annual financial statements. In particular, as envisaged by IAS 34 in order to avoid repeating the information already published, the explanatory notes relate solely to those elements of the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity whose content or change, in terms of nature or amount or because unusual, must be known in order to understand the economic and financial position of the Group. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements as of 30 September 2014 and for the period ended 30 September 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented.

The Company has adopted all new IFRS and IFRIC interpretations (collectively “the Standards”) applicable to the Company, that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or before 1 January 2014. The adoption of the Standards did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.


12

Q3 Interim report at 30 September 2014 –Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim financial statements

The currency of presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements is the euro, and the financial statement balances are expressed in millions of euro (except where stated otherwise). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets held for sale and financial instruments classified as available for sale, which are stated at their fair value. They also presume business continuity, which the Group believes to be reasonably certain.
The accounting policies are applied on a consistent basis by all Group companies. The accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2014 have also been applied on a consistent basis to all the comparative financial information.

4.2 Accounting estimates
_______________

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated condensed financial statements involves making assumptions and estimates that affect the value of assets and liabilities and the related explanatory information, as well as the value of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date.

These estimates are used to measure the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to impairment, as well as to recognize provisions for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and amortization and the write-down of assets, employee benefits, taxation, and risks and charges. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed reasonable at the time.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly and, if later estimates differ from those made initially, the effects - which obviously cannot be estimated or forecast at this time - are immediately reflected in the income statement. If the changes in estimate relate to both the current and future periods, their effects are reflected in the income statements for the periods concerned.

4.3 Amendments and revised accounting standards applied for the first time by the Group
_______________

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32
These amendments clarify the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right to compensate" and the criterion of compensation in the case of settlement systems (such as central clearing houses) which apply non-simultaneous gross settlement mechanisms. These amendments have had no effect on the financial statements of the Group.

Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting - Amendments to IAS 39
These amendments allow the continuation of hedge accounting when the novation of a hedge derivative meets certain criteria. These amendments have had no impact as the Group has not replaced its derivatives either in the current year or in prior years.


13

Q3 Interim report at 30 September 2014 –Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim financial statements

IFRIC 21 Taxes
IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and applies retrospectively. It is applicable to all payments imposed by law by the Government other than those already covered by other standards (eg IAS 12 income taxes) and those for fines or other penalties for breaches of the law.

The interpretation clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability at the earliest upon occurrence of the event that is related to the payment, in accordance with applicable law. The interpretation also clarifies that the liability matures gradually only if the event to which the payment is related occurs over a period of time provided for by the law.
For payments that are due only on exceeding a certain minimum threshold, the liability is recorded only on reaching this threshold. The interpretation requires these principles to be applied also to interim financial statements.

Additional information on the recoverable value of non-financial assets - Amendments to IAS 36
These amendments remove the consequences inadvertently introduced by IFRS 13 about the disclosures required by IAS 36. Moreover, these changes require information on the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU to which was recognized during the year or "reversed" impairment (impairment losses).

5. Reclassifications
_______________

In 2013, the current and the non-current portions of the tax credits relating to the Polish Special Economic Zone (incentives for the construction of factories) have been reallocated among the deferred tax assets, with an according reclassification of the opening financial position.

It should also be noted that, in order to provide a better economic representation, the costs of installation and the special consumption tax referring to the Turkish market have been reclassified within the income statement.

The increase in sales and cost of sales for the SCT, in relation to the first two quarters of 2013, respectively, equal to 1.4 million euro and 2.0 million euro.

The decrease in cost of sales and the increase in selling and distribution expenses for the cost of installation, in relation to the first two quarters of 2013 amounted respectively to 0.5 million euro and 0.8 million euro.


6. Operating segments
_______________

Indesit Company identifies the Group as its sole operating segment.

Consistent with IFRS 8 para. 33, the following information is provided about the geographical areas in which the Group operates:

Western Europe Area1;

Eastern Europe Area2;

International Area3.


14

Q3 Interim report at 30 September 2014 –Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Interim financial statements

Segment revenue is calculated based on the final destination of the products and segment results take account of all expenses that can be directly allocated to the geographical areas concerned. The costs not allocated to geographical areas include non-recurring industrial charges and corporate costs. Similarly, financial income and expenses and taxation are not allocated to the various geographical areas.
Except for trade receivables, assets, liabilities and investments are not allocated to geographical areas and are examined by senior management on a combined basis.
The trade receivables allocated to geographical areas and reviewed by the most senior decision makers comprise those deriving from the sale of finished products. They do not include receivables deriving from providing services (with the exception of UK service activities), advances to suppliers or the effects of any disposals of receivables.
The following tables present the Group's operating information analyzed by geographical area based on the final destination of the products.

8. Financial instruments

8.1 Management of financial risks

The Group is exposed to the following principal financial risks deriving from operations:

liquidity risk (availability and access to financial resources);
market risk (exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices);
credit risk (with commercial and financial counterparts).


Liquidity, market and financial counterpart credit risks are managed by the Central Treasury Department in accordance with the Group Treasury Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Group strategy is to minimize the exposure to risk and, accordingly, it is forbidden to take positions that might generate risks that are not strictly correlated with normal business activities (e.g. transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies).

Credit risk related to commercial counterparts is managed by a Group credit policy which defines:

the principles underlying credit assessment and the procedures for establishing specific credit limits in each geographical area or country in which the Group works, and the credit control methodology applied;
the levels of authority for granting credit, based on the progressive involvement of market, commercial area and corporate managers (up to CFO and CEO), in proportion to the increasing amount of credit granted and risk incurred.

As required by IFRS 7, the following qualitative and quantitative information is provided about the impact of these risks on the Group.
