[Report on operations] Group activities

As of 31 December 2010, the Marzotto Group is organized into the following business units: ” ” ” ” ”

Woollen and cotton fabrics Woollen Yarns Linen Yarns Silk Other operations

The Fabrics sector includes the manufacturing and distribution of woollen and cotton fabrics for clothing, with the following brands: - Marzotto and Lanerossi: leading collection by sales volume worldwide featuring a strong product research, aimed at designers and international markets; - Guabello: one of the exclusive names of the Italian textile tradition. It offers a luxurious collection in a contemporary style, where wool is paired with selected fabrics such as silk and cashmere; - Marlane: a men’s collection focused on the current market trends, combining trendy products and quality with highly competitive service and price; - Tallia di Delfino: it is an important historic brand specialized in the production of woolen fabrics for high-end and luxury menswear; - Estethia / G.B.Conte: these are women’s collections. The first one is a young and dynamic collection, characterized by quality and attention to market trends; the second one specializes in carded and worsted patterned fabrics for outerwear, boiled wool and jersey; - Tessuti di Sondrio: a leading brand and collection in terms of image for cotton and linen fabrics in the high-end segment. In 2008 the historic brand Dal Sasso was acquired, a brand active in the wool sportswear market niche, with the goal of making it part of the “life-style” project in Sondrio (elegant sportswear). To complete the product range, in 2009 the NTB Nuova Tessilbrenta brand (cotton and cotton blend fabrics for sportswear) was acquired. The Woollen Yarns sector manufactures and distributes combed and carded wool knitwear yarns under the Lanerossi, Folco and Martex brands. Operations are carried out by the Filivivi Group, 50%-owned by the Parent company in joint-venture with Manifattura Lane Folco S.r.l. (Verzoletto group), which is consolidated according to the proportional method.

13

The Linen Yarns sector is leader in the production of “long-fiber” linen yarns through the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale Group, which is 100% controlled by the Parent company Marzotto S.p.A. Linificio has recently made some investments in the weaving business, in order to complete its range of products adding to its historic yarns also linen fabrics. Starting from 2010, the Marzotto group is involved also in the silk industry thanks to Ratti, in which the parent company Marzotto S.p.A. recently acquired a 33.36% stake. The Ratti group is a leader in the design and manufacturing of printed fabrics, solid and yarn dyed fabrics for clothing (shirts, ties, intimates, swimwear) and home decor, and in the production and distribution of finished products, mainly men and women accessories (such as ties and scarves). Finally, the Other Operations sector includes coordination and service activities performed in favour of the operating sectors, real estate management, and management of non-consolidated equity investments and the integrated management and waste and wastewater treatment activities on behalf of third parties.

[Main events in 2010] Marzotto S.p.A.’s share capital increase

On December 22, 2009, the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of Marzotto S.p.A. adopted a resolution for a paid increase of the share capital, at par and indivisible, from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,977,047 (euro 49,990,745), by issuing 49,990,745 new ordinary shares with a par value of 1 euro each, all bearing the same characteristics of the existing shares. The resolution was recorded at the Milan’s Companies Register on December 29, 2009. The increase was fully paid by the shareholder Wizard S.r.l. on December 22, 2009 and therefore the share capital of the Parent Company went on that date from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,817,451. On February 15, 2010 the option period ended, following which 24,005 Marzotto shares were subscribed by the minority shareholders. Since some shareholders exercised their pre-emption rights on un-opted shares, on February 24, 2010 the remaining 135,591 shares were paid up and therefore, the share capital of the Parent Company is, as of that date, euro 123,977,047 (fully paid).

Operation Ratti

Following Consob’s favorable opinion issued on March 3, 2010, upon execution of the optional share capital increase reserved to existing shareholders, and of the reserved share capital increase, implemented on March 5, 2010 by full payment of 20,805,000 euro by the new investors, Marzotto and Faber Five hold each a 33.36% shareholding in the share capital of Ratti S.p.A., a company in the Como area, leader in the silk industry and listed at the Milan Stock Exchange. The share capital increases were part of a financial and equity reorganization plan for Ratti and the implementation of reorganization and development plan to be carried out with the support of the new investors. For Marzotto, the addition of Ratti represents an industrial diversification operation in a sector collateral to its historic “core businesses” such as yarns, linen and menswear woollen fabric thereby completing the range of product offered by the group of noble fibers of the textile industry by adding a new sector, silk and womenswear fabrics, and this should open new markets and research opportunities. Besides the possible production and market synergies, the challenge will be bringing industrial and management culture to a company which has always been strongly focused on design research and “craftsmanship”. The Ratti group financial statements have been incorporated in the consolidated annual report of Marzotto beginning in 2010, with the proportional method (at 33.36%), in virtue of the joint control held by Marzotto and Faber Five. In these consolidated financial statements the pro-quota income data affect the data for the period March-December (10 months), whereas for the balance sheet portion we considered the pro-quota data as of December 31, 2010.

Egypt wool-combing plant

On June 3, 2010, in execution of the preliminary stock purchase agreement signed on October 28, 2009, Marzotto S.p.A. acquired 30% of the share capital of Mediterranean Wool Industries Co. (MWI) S.A.E., a corporation registered in Egypt whose business purpose is the processing of textile fibers (combing, carbonization, other processes) at a newly built factory in Sadat City (Egypt). This joint-venture is the result of a cooperation agreement with the Schneider group, an important and well known player in the industry. The recent events in Egypt led to the postponement of the time frames set out in the original business plan, but based on the current social and political situation of the Country, we estimate that the Company will complete the start-up process and will run at full capacity by 2011.

Report on Group’s operations

[Main events in 2010] Demerger of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A.

On June 24, 2010 a demerger deed was executed at Marzotto S.p.A. for the transfer of the total shareholding in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. to a newly incorporated company, named “Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A.”, owned by the same shareholders of Marzotto S.p.A. During the tax year 2008 and also in 2009, the major part of non-core real estate assets of the Group was gradually transferred to the subsidiary Immobili e Partecipazioni (from the companies Marzotto S.p.A. and Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A.), in order to achieve the separation of non-strategic business to better focus the management and financial resources of the Marzotto group on its corebusiness. The demerger deed became effective on July 1, 2010. On the same date, the share capital of the demerged company Marzotto S.p.A. was subsequently decreased, from 123,977 thousand to euro 65,005 thousand (and therefore for total 58,972 thousands of euro), by cancelling the corresponding number of shares. The effect on the consolidated Group’s equity was instead 38,159 thousands of euro.

Liquidation of Aree Urbane

During the month of August 2010 the subsidiary Aree Urbane S.r.l. was placed in liquidation. Afterwards, at the end of December 2010, the shareholders of Aree Urbane have received a proposal to purchase their shares, pending completion of a due diligence process, or, alternatively, the main real estate area in Rome. Due to the size of these proposals, which are still being verified, and due to the results of the actions taken by the appointed Liquidator during the first months of management, we have no reason to believe that the rights of satisfaction of the creditors may be jeopardized and likewise of Marzotto S.p.A. towards Aree Urbane.

Ghiaie Idroenergia/ Sale of LCN power plants

Effective December 1, 2010 the company Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l. was incorporated (controlled at 100% by Linificio S.p.A.) through the assignment of the business unit dedicated to the production of electric power (including an hydro-electric plant located in the area of the Villa D’Almè factory, which was composed by two hydro-electric power plants and their accessories). During the month of May 2010, an agreement was signed for the sale of the above mentioned company to a third party, Fonti Prealpi S.p.A. As of December 31, 2010 Linificio S.p.A. had received from Fonti Prealpi partial payments for a total of 8 million euro, as advance payments on the sale of Ghiaie Idroenergia. The sale of the shareholding was then completed on January 28, 2011 for a total amount, including the mentioned advance payments received in 2010, of 17.0 million euro.

Marzotto becomes the sole shareholder of Tallia di Delfino

On July 7, 2008 Marzotto S.p.A., through the subscription of a reserved share capital increase of 3,500,000 euro, acquired a 70% interest in the share capital of Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. The Investment agreement executed between Marzotto S.p.A. and Appia S.r.l. also entailed the payment to Tallia di Delfino, from Appia S.r.l., of any loss in excess for the period between January 1, 2008 and July 7, 2008, in relation to an amount established by the parties; this agreement also provided for a combination of put and call options, which would have enabled Marzotto S.p.A. to redeem, at the end of 2012, the remaining shares (equal to 30%), therefore reaching a 100% stake in the share capital of Tallia. The recorded loss in excess was only partially offset by Appia, who remained debtor for the remaining amount equal to 1,060 thousands of euro. To recover this amount Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. took legal steps.

Report on Group’s operations

17

[Main events in 2010] On November 25, 2009, the extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., pursuant to article 2447 of the Italian Civil Code, approved a resolution to bring the share capital to zero and its reconstitution through a share capital of 3,000,000 euro, subscribed by Marzotto S.p.A. for 2,100,000 euro and by Appia S.r.l. for 900,000 euro. Since Appia did not exercise its option right, on January 15, 2010 Marzotto became the sole shareholder of Tallia. On December 15, 2010, in order to resolve the still pending matters, the parties involved (Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., Marzotto S.p.A. and Appia S.r.l.) entered into a private deed for the cancellation of the Investment Agreement and offsetting their mutual debits and credits open at that date. Among the consequences of this agreement, was the transfer at par value to Marzotto S.p.A. of the above mentioned credit owed to Tallia by Appia, this credit line item was off-set at the same time with part of Marzotto’s debts due to Appia, as defined in the Investment Contract of 2008 as payment amount for the 30% acquisition from minority investors. On December 31, 2010, due to the operating loss of the subsidiary and taking into account also the fact that Marzotto renounced its pre-emption right on 30% of the share capital and in view of all the above, Marzotto S.p.A. has made a shareholder payment on capital account in Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. for 2,000,000 euro, made by converting part of the financial credit towards the same company.

Dividend stripping

During the tax year 2010 the Company was notified of an entry in the tax litigation list and the pertaining payment request for a total of 28.2 million euro, subsequently reduced to 16.2 thanks to the steps taken by the competent Bodies based on appeals presented by the involved Corporations. In addition to the decrease in the amount, the payment request has been suspended, and therefore it will be discussed at the hearing set for May 10, 2011. This litigation, as already widely explained in the Annual Report for the previous years, involves the companies Marzotto S.p.A. and Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. jointly and severally, and for 1/3 and 2/3 respectively of the mentioned amount due to the Tax Authority following the proportional partial demerger completed in 2005. Consequently and following the determination received in 2011 from the Tax Collector, the resulting liability has been adjusted in the 2010 financial statements of Marzotto, compared to the amount in the 2009 financial statements, with an effect on the income of another 1.0 million euro.

Report on Group’s operations

[Report on operation] Economic situation/ industry trend (1)

The entire Italian Textile-Fashion industry has begun 2010 with a new pace, an indication of the great ability to react of this industry: all the main monitored variables show, overall, a restart of business after the halt experienced in 2009.

Textile

After the heavy standstill during the serious economic recession, in 2010 the Italian Textile industry sees again a positive trend, together with other upstream sectors of the Textile-Fashion industry, thanks to the recovery of the world economy. Italian textile companies, strengthened by the selective process of strategic repositioning seen in the last years, were ready to profit from the global economic recovery, counting on specific assets of “Made in Italy” such as flexibility, fast response to the market also for small quantities, excellent quality, know-how and innovation ability. For all the micro-sectors which make up the textile industry, and according to the first estimates for 2010, for the industry turnover it is estimated an annual recovery of +11.8%. Also the value of production has recovered in 2010 by double-digit rates (+13.9%). The greatest stimulus for the industry came from exports: the good kick-start of world trading, joined by the most internationalized Italian companies, has been the driving force to regain ground. Nonetheless, the restart of production was not enough to fill in the gap to pre-recession levels: the average plant utilization did not reach the before the crisis level, and there were also tensions on the employment market. The most negative trends were felt once again by the cotton and linen textile sector. Against this backdrop, the Fabrics sector of the Marzotto group recorded better performances than the industry average, with a significant increase of sales that, compared to 2009 recorded overall a 24.1% increase, therefore making a full recovery to the before the crisis level. The recovery of the cotton fabrics was even more significant, since at the end of the year the turnover increased by 29.5% compared to the previous year.

Woollen spinning

Similarly, also the macro-sector of spinning immediately picked-up the restart of the world economic cycle, showing a recovery of the sector’s activities: according to the preliminary estimates (2) prepared by SMI-ATI, sales have finally returned to the black, reaching a growth rate of 13.1%. We point out, however, that the positive results of 2010 emerge from the comparison with the worst results ever experienced in the sector: the sector turnover, even if in recovery compared to 2009, is still below the 2008 levels. Taking into consideration also the gap with the levels of the past, there were also critical situations on the employment front: both the cotton sector and the woolen sector showed decreases in the number of employees. Turnover of the combed wool spinning division showed an up and down recovery (from -2.5% during the first quarter to +7.7% in the second quarter), settling to an estimated +11.7% for the third quarter of 2010. Production has registered average increased from +4.5% during the first two quarters to +17.0% in the third quarter of the year. (2) Also the worsted wool spinning division showed a recovery of turnover, markedly more significant (+ 22.2% in the first quarter, + 29.7% in the second quarter, + 32.5% estimated for the third (2) quarter of 2010). The average utilization rate of production plants for the third quarter is estimated above 60.0% (2); the employment trend is still negative (-4.1% in the first quarter, -3.3% in the second quarter, -1.1% estimated for the third quarter).(2) Within these market trends, the turnover of the Woollen Yarns sector (Filivivi group) showed a 10.2% increase on the turnover of the previous year. This value, taking into account the reduction of sales due to the simplification of the range of products offered, is adjusted to +13.0% compared to the previous year.

Net invested capital

Net invested capital as of December 31, 2010, net of current liabilities, is 182.1 million euro (2009: 246.2 million). The -64.1 change is mostly due to the reduction in net working capital and the Assets/liabilities held for sale.

Net working capital

Net working capital is 65.5 million euro, compared to 112.0 million euro at the end of 2009, a -46.5 million euro change. The effect of the pro-quota consolidation of Ratti is +3.1 million euro. This decrease in Net working capital was affected by the factoring “without recourse” operation (15.2 million euro as of 31 December 2010), carried out at the end of the year with a primary financial institution, which allowed to contain the increase of trade receivables following the significant increase of the turnover. During 2010 in all the sectors of the Group we continued the plan to decrease inventory volumes, these actions counterbalanced the impact on inventory levels of the sharp recovery of sales and the increase of raw materials prices. The increase in the item inventory compared to the previous year, +5.6 million, was mostly affected by the change in the consolidation basis following the consolidation of Ratti (+4.2 million pro-quota), as well as by the cost increase of raw materials, which alone affects for more than 6.0 million euro the balances as of 31 December. The change in Net working capital is also due to the increase of short-term non-financial liabilities, following the higher trade payables following the turnover increase, and the effect of some nonrecurring operation, among them the advance payments in relation to the above mentioned sale of the company Ghiaie Idroenergia (advance payments received in 2010 for 8 million euro).

(1). The Filivivi group is consolidated pro-quota (50.00%) in both periods; the Ratti group is consolidated at 33.36% for 2010 only; 2010 considers the demerger of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. effective from 1st July. Report on Group’s operations

[Report on operation] Net fixed assets

The balance of net fixed assets as of December 31, 2010, as a whole, decreased by 7.2 million euro compared to 2009. The inclusion of the Ratti group affects it for +7.1 million euro (pro-quota), while the stake held in Mediterranean Wool Industries affects it for +2.0 million euro. The “Assets/liabilities held for sale” decrease compared to the previous year by -26.9 million euro: this change is mainly due to the exclusion from the consolidation area of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A., following the above mentioned demerger operation (with an effect of total -27.7 million euro), partially off-set by the reclassification of Net assets of the company Ghiaie Idroenergia, transferee of the hydroelectric plants of Linificio S.p.A. which were transferred to a third party in 2011 (5.1 million euro).

Fixed assets

In particular the item Tangible and intangible fixed assets, net of amortization, decreased by 9.2 million euro. Investments for the year were a total of 8.8 million (12.7 million in 2009) and referred for 8.4 million to tangible assets and for 0.4 million to intangible assets (12.1 million and 0.6 million respectively in 2009). 2010

Total net revenues for the Fabrics sector were 219.9 million euro, with a 24.1% increase on the previous year, fully recovering the sharp decrease suffered in 2009 following the heavy contraction due to the world economic crisis what affected also the Textile sector, and bringing sales volumes back to prerecession levels. Also cotton fabrics showed a sharp recovery, benefiting from the effects of the acquisition of the Dal Sasso and Nuovatessilbrenta brands, acquired to improve the product offer in market niches contiguous to the historical brand Tessuti di Sondrio.

Turnover of the Woollen Yarns sector increased as value by +10.2% compared to the previous year. Within this sector, the macro sector of spinning has immediately picked-up the recovery of the economic cycle, with a recovery of the industry activities which, according to the early estimates of the industry studies, has shown a turnover growth rate of approximately 13%. Against this backdrop, the Group’s size and structure have helped to further strengthen the leadership of Filivivi, carrying out the marketing strategies which allowed on one side to promptly react to the raw materials cost increase and on the other side to step in to renegotiate the payment terms with customers, with the subsequent selection of customers and minor effects on margins.

The operating result for the year is positive and amounts to +0.7 million, a marked improvements on 2009 (-1.6 million). Despite the strong turbulence in the reference markets, the Group scored good income performances, a result of the actions taken both within production, where the industrial and logistics reorganization continued, as well as within sales, with a prompt reaction to the market disturbances due to the heavy shifts in the costs of raw materials. In 2010 the sector continued the activities to streamline and make more flexible the production capacity, finding new synergies within the Group, aimed at the optimization of sales and logistics structures and at the saturation of general and fixed costs.

[Report on operation] Analysis by Business Sector

Invested capital

Invested capital used in the sector, equal to 26.5 million, decreased compared to the previous year (28.3 million). This result was affected in particular by the curbing of Working capital (20.1 million against 21.2 at the end of last year), a modest increase compared to the turnover increase. This result is due to the actions taken to control trade receivables, which allowed to reduce the average days to collect, and inventory levels, whose growth was monitored compared to the increase in raw material prices, which had an effect on year-end balances for almost 5 million euro.

Forecasts

Considering the present market trend, the trend of raw materials prices, of orders received and the sales strategies applied, we estimate that the turnover of the Woollen Yarns sector for 2011 will increase compared to the previous year. New orders received in the first two months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 shows a further improving trend. Wool prices are an important element of the cost of the product, and during the first months of 2011 are still increasing, and this will necessarily affect sales prices to customers. Against this backdrop, and given all the above, we forecast that the actions taken in 2011 will allow us to further improve the economic and financial results for Filivivi. The industrial flexibility achieved, together with the completion of the Group’s synergies, the streamlining of the range of products and the above mentioned selection of customers, activities that we are continuing in 2011, let us forecast a possible improvement of the operating result for this year. Also in this business sector the actions to curb working capital continue, leading us to believe it will be possible to further decrease net borrowing.

The year 2010 saw for the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale group an important improvement of turnover, overall equal to +27.6% compared to the previous year. In 2010 we have seen linen products being used again both for clothing and home decoration, especially in the main market, the domestic market. From the second half of 2009 the company has approached the market more aggressively and dynamically: this policy has given the expected results in 2010 and, in terms of consolidated sales volumes, the company saw a 24.4% increase for yarns and a 282% increase for fabrics compared to the previous year, increasing its market share at the expense of its competitors. From the fourth quarter of 2010 the consolidation policy of the regained business positions is continuing with newfound intensity, focusing on increasing sales prices to obtain better sale margins.

Operating loss in 2010 was limited to -1.3 million euro, compared to -10.3 million at the end of 2009, heavily influenced by the turnover decrease, to the persistent strong pressures of competitors and mostly to the consumption decrease in the markets that traditionally used linen products. In 2009 the sector intensified the activity to rationalize the industrial and production structure in order to face the markets with better service quality and with more competitive prices; in particular, we have tried to identify possible synergies with the Marzotto group to redefine the overall production structure. In the same way, the activities to review the product offered, the reorganization of the sales network and of the logistic structures have continued. This turnaround phase, which entailed a deep revision of its production, logistic and sales structures in 2009, continued in 2010, allowing Linificio, together with the improvement of the turnover, a significant recovery of the operating profitability.

[Report on operation] Analysis by Business Sector

Management is continuing the implementation of the guidelines of the Industrial plan: the operations to reorganize the production, industrial, sales and general structure continued, and at the same time investments have been made to reach the goals that were set. EBIT was negative for 2.9 million, still affected by non-recurring charges linked to the implementation of the Industrial plan, and it may be compared to +0.2 million in 2009, which included the capital gains following the sale of a portion of the Villa d’Almè factory (10.8 million euro); net of the extraordinary items of 2009, also EBIT improves sharply (+11.7 million euro) compared to the previous year.

Invested capital

Invested capital once again decreased significantly (from 42.2 million euro in 2009 to 29.1 million at the reference date of this document). Also in this business sector the working capital, which decreased by 15.6 million euro on 2009, was affected in particular by a sharp decrease in inventory levels (in quantity of over 40%): in the year 2010 the Company continued the destocking activities of immobilized assets, while maintaining the high quality of service and time-to-market. Short term non-financial liabilities increased mostly due to the advance payments received for the sale of the hydroelectric plants of Villa d’Almè (8.0 million), which was actually executed at the end of January 2011. In fact, on 1 December 2010 the new company Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l. was incorporated. To this company were transferred both the exploitation rights of the concession granted to the Company for the production of hydroelectric power and the relevant operations of catchment, screening and intake, placed upstream of both plants (the original “Ghiaie” plant and a second plant named “Ponte della Regina” which enabled the optimization of the exploitation of this concession). During the month of May 2010 a third party had already given a first confirmation down-payment for the sale of this Company in the amount of 3.0 million euro; at the end of December 2010 a second down-payment was received for an additional amount of 5.0 million. At the end of the year the company Ghiaie Idroenergia is consolidated but it has been reclassified among “Assets held for sale”.

Net borrowing

The Group’s net financial position improved compared to the previous year, as debt went from 5.1 million at the end of 2009 to 5.5 million in liquid assets as of December 31, 2010. This improvement was affected by the cash-in from the above mentioned operation to dispose of the non-core business assets in Villa d’Almè.

Forecasts

The recovery signs seen in the second half of 2010, are being confirmed during the first months of this year: as things stand, the orders received show a situation of consumption recovery and the consolidation of the client base. In 2011 the reorganization of the industrial structure of the Company continues, in order to adapt to the different market conditions, also through the research of synergies and efficiencies within the Marzotto group. The financial control of cash flows is still closely monitored, in order to finance business as well as to support the undergoing company reorganization. At the of January 2011 the sale deed of the Company Ghiaie Idroenergia was executed, from Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale to a third party, with a corresponding cash-in of additional 9 million euro (for total 17 million euro received).

The Group’s operating result was break-even (0.2 million euro, 0.0 million the portion attributable to Marzotto), which can be compared to a loss of approximately 3.0 million at the end of 2009.

Net borrowing

Also thanks to the interventions on the capital made by the Shareholders during the month of March 2010, the Group ended 2010 with a net financial position positive for 6.1 million euro (pro-quota Marzotto approximately 2.0 million).

Forecasts

After leveling-off in 2010, the year 2011 is set to be the year of the recovery of orders and turnover for the textile industry and in particular for the silk industry. In the international economic situation there still however risks and uncertainties both inside and outside the industry, such as the big increase of prices of raw materials, the performance of foreign exchange markets and the costs of energy. The recent earthquake in Japan, which alone represents approximately 11% of the turnover of luxury goods sector to which the Ratti group refer, remains an element whose effects will be assessed in the coming months. In this situation the Group continues to implement the plans and actions of reorganization and strengthening of its structures, according to the Industrial plan 2011-2013, with the goal to further improve its industrial efficiency levels, market strategies effectiveness and therefore its profitability. In line with the strategy to recover market shares, we point out that the Group has started 2011 with st new orders received well over 1 January 2010, and as of today orders received and turnover are significantly higher than the same period of last year.

It also refers to the management of real estate not used for industrial activities, to the water treatment plant in Schio and to nonconsolidated shareholdings owned by the Group. The operating loss for 2010 is attributable to the costs incurred by the corporate structure and not charged back to the Group divisions, since they were not directly attributable to them. Among net financial revenues for the year 2009 are included the effects of write-downs of consolidated shareholdings, which were canceled upon consolidation.

[Shareholdings] Shareholdings in Subsidiaries

Below we provide a summary of the performance of the main direct Subsidiaries (consolidated in the Group income statement), as well as of the most important Group affiliated companies and other significant shareholdings of the Group.

The Filivivi, the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale and the Ratti groups have been discussed in the comments on the Business Sectors.

Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. In 2008 the Parent Company acquired a 70% shareholding of the Tallia shares: this is an historical company based in Strona (in the Biella area), specialized in menswear fabrics, it manufactures and sells woollen fabrics for high-end and luxury menswear, and it is part of the Group’s “brand strategy” to protect a high-end product segment and effort to complete its range of products offered with a highend, high quality and highly recognizable product. The actions to balance the financial stability continued in 2010, in order to achieve a more effective costs structure while maintaining high level quality, creative content and customer service. The results achieved, also thanks to the effects of the synergies within the Group, together with a significant increase of sales volumes, have enables to widely recover from the negative performance in 2009, reestablishing in 2010 the conditions for low operating costs, which will come to full effect in 2011. Net revenues increased compared to the previous year by 77%, reaching 13.8 million euro (7.8 million in 2009), and the Company reached in 2010 the operating break-even. The difficult financial situation of the Subsidiary, also considering the renunciation by Marzotto of the pre-emption right on 30% of the share capital, has prompted the Parent Company to make a shareholder payment on capital account for 2,000,000 euro made at the end of December 2010, by converting part of the financial credit towards Tallia. As already mentioned in “Main events of the year”, during the month of January 2010 Marzotto became the sole shareholder of Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., therefore becoming its sole Parent Company.

36

At the end of 2010, the shareholder Marzotto has approved the transfer of a business unit to the benefit of Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., the business unit corresponds to the business identified as the brands Guabello and Marlane; the resulting Company will be named “Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A.” and will be 100% controlled by Marzotto S.p.A. Tallia di Delfino is subject to management and coordination by the Parent Company.

Marzotto Textile N.V. The company was incorporated on 19 April 2005, following the demerger from Marzotto International N.V., through the contribution of the shareholdings pertaining to the Textile business unit, at the end of 2010, it directly controls the foreign companies Novà Mosilana a.s., AB Liteksas (important production plants located in the Czech Republic and in Lithuania respectively), Marzotto International Trading Shanghai Co. LTD (a representation company established in 2005 to monitor the Far East markets) and Marzotto Textiles USA Inc. (a company established on 2 January 2008 for marketing and sale activities in the North American markets for the fabrics and home linen sector).

The company was established in October 2002 as part of a project aimed at increasing the value and therefore the sale appeal of some real estate properties held by Marzotto S.p.A. It has been placed in liquidation in August 2010 following the failed share capital increase proposed by its Shareholders. The intermediate balance sheet as of September 2010 delivered to the Liquidator pursuant to article 2487 bis paragraph 3, showed a steady value of the real estate properties, compared to the end of 2009 (in the Financial Statement as of December 31, 2009 the real estate inventory managed by Aree Urbane were valued at 157.1 million). At the end of December 2010, the Shareholders have received a proposal of purchase of their shares, pending completion of the due diligence, or, alternatively, of the main real estate area in Rome. Due to the size of these proposals, which are still being verified, and due to the results of the actions taken by the appointed liquidator during the first months of management, we have no reason to believe that the rights of satisfaction of the creditors may be jeopardized and likewise from Marzotto S.p.A. towards Aree Urbane.

Marzotto considers training a key factor to increase and keep up-to-date its managers’ skills and technical knowledge. This is why we created Marzotto Training, the space for ongoing training within the Company. Marzotto, through various training instruments (indoor, outdoor, on the job), has made efforts to improve the performance and the individual and community skills: in addition to programs for the the individual (master, specialization courses) we have organized events involving communities strategic to the business (area finance, sales, fashion designers) in order to increase the tolls available to remain competitive. We have boosted our Corporate Intranet, personalizing the contents in areas targeted to the different professional figures in the Company. In 2010 the economic investment for training was approximately 250,000 euro, using inter-professional funds such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti, for total 1,940 hours of training, not including work safety training. Professional training programs focused on work safety were also offered within the Group, involving about 220 people. About 200 employees for 8 hours each were trained on the company’s risks and the applicable regulations. A new project was started for the integration of 10 engineering graduates, in the production plants of the Parent Company, to help recruiting new talented people, relaunching the Corporate Brand and developing specific and technical projects in the production areas.

[Other information] Employees by sector (1)

The number of (active) employees of the Group as of December 31, 2010 was 3,480 employees (1), of which 1,712 working in Italy (total 3,233 employees as of December 31, 2009, of which 1,621 in Italy). Active staff went from 3,029 at the end of 2009 to 3,179 as of December 31, 2010. The increase in the number of employees during the year (+150 employees) can basically be explained with the inclusion of the Ratti group in the consolidation (+170 employees pro-quota), while in the other sectors there were no noteworthy changes.

[Other information] Praia

Between 1999 and 2001, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Parent company’s Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the Seventies through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees and in reference to the are outside the factory, would have caused its pollution and contamination. After the Judge of the Court of Paola rejected two requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 the prosecution issued 14 notices of completion of the preliminary investigations, and their notification was repeated in February 2010. As of today the Parent company, with the favorable opinion of a reputable law firm, believes that compensation claim for damages in favor of a third party will not be assessed. Some former employees or heirs of former employees as indicated above, in October 2006 and in 2008, have also begun civil proceedings against the Parent company asking for compensation for the alleged damages due to work-related illnesses. As of today the disputes are at various progress levels since the claims were made subsequently. In any case, the technical appraisals so far completed, examined by technical experts and legal counsels for the Parent company, appear to exclude, so far, any particular liability of the Company in the reported illnesses. For none of the claims has been made any further preliminary investigation and therefore, save any different assessment following the investigations that are still underway, there are no objective element that lead us to believe the Parent company may suffer any liability. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin a series of characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have been suspended pending cautionary proceedings. As things stand, the costs for the possible soil reclamation are estimated anyway to be less than the possible sale value of the affected area.

[Other information] Risk management

The Group manages the risk factors that may influence the business performance through actions and procedures. Below, we will analyze the risk factors distinguishing between external (contextual) risks and internal (processing) risks.

External risks (contextual risks)

General economic situation risks The Group products are addressed to markets subject to demand cycles and are influenced by the general economic situation. It cannot be not excluded the substantial decreases in consumption levels, with effects in all markets/products, may significantly affect the economic, financial and equity situation of the Group, even if the diversification of markets and of the products and brands portfolio that we have attained reduces the risk exposure compared to companies whose offer is more concentrated. Risks related to competition in the sectors of the Group’s operations The Group operates in a competitive environment; it is possible that the competition pressure due to a drop in demand translates to pressure on prices. Part of the product offered by the Group, especially in the less differentiated sectors of woollen and linen yarns, is interchangeable with products offered by our main competitors and therefore, in such cases, price is a significant sales factor. Should there be a particularly significant drop in volume and/or sale prices, the Group believes that there are actions that can be taken to cut its own cost structure, in order in minimize the possible negative effects on the economic, financial and equity situation.

Internal risks (processing risks)

Risks related to financing sources and liquidity risk The effects of the possible turmoil in the global financial system could represent a risk factor in relation to the possibility of obtaining further financial means at the current conditions. However the Group believes that the present debt structure, in particular the availability of lines committed in the medium/long term, the financial resources immediately available (deposits) and the lines of credits not yet used, will limit the negative impacts of a possible difficulty in obtaining credit. Exchange rate risk Considering the Group’s exposure to exchange rates fluctuations in foreign currency operations (purchases/sales in non-euro markets), we carry out hedging operations to determine the exchange rate based on estimates of sales and purchases volumes and the currency exchange rate considered when the price lists are prepared. Specifically, the Group uses the following hedging instruments:

42

- foreign currency loans; - term sales and purchases in foreign currency; - foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These hedging instruments are agreed upon with highest rated banks. Since the consolidated balance sheet is expressed in euro, the fluctuations of the exchange rates used to convert data of the subsidiaries, which were originally in a foreign currency, could impact the economic, financial and equity situation of the Group. The risk that the conversion differences have a significant impact appears limited. Credit risk The credit risk is essentially reduced also considering the type of customers, which are diversified and not significantly concentrated in the new outlet markets. This risk is handled through the actions of a specific office in the company, Credit management, and also through an insurance coverage policy with a primary insurance company.

Report on Group’s operations

[Other information] Interest rate risk The Group’s borrowing is mostly concentrated on variable tax rate. The effects of the possible further turmoil, already experienced in the banking system, could potentially represent a risk in relation to the cost of obtaining the financial resource. The considerable reduction of the reference rates has offset more than proportionally the average increase in the spreads recognized to the financing banking institutions in the recent past. The Group constantly monitors this risk and we do not believe that, given the present debt level (which has strongly improved), this risk is significant in terms of possible effects. Risk in relation to the environmental policy The activities of the Group are subject to laws and regulations (local, national and international) on the environment. In particular, the production plants are affected by regulations on atmospheric emissions, waste management and water waters management, especially because we have dyeing and purification plants. The organization is constantly committed to respecting environmental stands in compliance with the environmental regulations in force in each local area in reference to the specific activities. New investments are been considered, also in view of the environmental impact, the potential savings in resources and energy consumption during operations as well as the reduction of total waste material produced.

[Significant event after the close of the year] Sale of Ghiaie Idroenergia

On 28 January 2011 the sale to a third party of the Company Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l. (Linificio group) was executed, with the collection of 9.0 million euro in full payment of the operation (another 8.0 million had already been cashed in 2010 as a down payment).

Transfer to Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.

At the end of 2010, Marzotto approved an operation for the transfer to Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. of the business unit corresponding to the business identified as the Guabello and Marlane brands; the resulting Company will be named “Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A.” and will be 100% controlled by Marzotto S.p.A. The reasons for this transfer are the need to gather the textile activities in the Biella area in one single corporate hub, in order to take advantage of the possible synergies to increase the system effectiveness and to seize the opportunity for the valorization and strengthening of each brand, taking advantage of the quality and product identity typical of the Made in Biella products, which is enabled by belonging to the Biella area. st This operation will be effective on 1 May 2011.

Report on Group’s operations

[Performance news and outlook for the current year] The positive trend of sales and orders received during the first months of 2011 lead us to believe that it will be possible during this year to see a further improvement of volumes and margins of the Group compared to last year. The trend of the expected turnover for the first two months confirms this expectation, with almost a 30% increase on a like-for-like basis (excluding Ratti), while current orders campaigns show as of today an even more substantial improvement, in all the business sectors of the Group. While in the macro-economic scenario there are still instability and fragility factors, the most serious threat to the Textile industry in 2011 comes from the procurement markets: the record price increases which began last year do not show any sign of slowing down, and this is made more serious by the difficulty in obtaining raw materials. For several reasons, these increases do not appear to be slowing down in the short term, and they will end up having a substantial effect on corporate margins. In addition to some recovery signs already apparent, there are still weakness elements of macro-economic nature, on the international markets but even more so on the domestic market: the difficulty in the recovery of consumption due to unemployment and the reduced purchase power, a general lack of confidence mood, and on the exterior the performance of foreign currency markets, or the possible inflation dynamics created by the high increase of raw material prices just to name a few. The continuation of these uncertainty elements does not make it easy to predict if the favorable trend shown by the Group in the results for the first months of 2011 will continue; however we predict that the results of the year 2011 will be better than the results of 2010. The activities to identify and implement actions to reach higher efficiency levels and recover productivity continue, in order to contain and manage at best the impact of the above mentioned situations. In reference to medium term plans, management is carefully and constantly monitoring the markets to optimize all costs as a function of the settlement in the end markets, while at the same time taking full advantage of the synergies within the Group, also thanks to the recent strengthening and development investments, like Egypt and Ratti. The medium term plans also include the search for the Group of internationalization opportunities, especially in reference to the markets in China, India and South America. The strong tendency to monitor capital employed in production and especially working capital (in particular receivables and inventory), to streamline the financial resources used in the business. The first results of the sectors for 2011 in reference to the turnover of the two-month period January and February should be viewed in this context: (in millions of euro)

Consolidated financial statements

Introduction

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

Accounting principles

The Marzotto group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending on 31 December 2010 include the financial statements of the Parent Company Marzotto S.p.A. and of its subsidiaries and the Group’s shareholding stake in companies under joint control and in affiliated companies.

Compliance with IFRS/IAS

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the relevant interpretations by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) approved by the European Commission and adopted by legislative decree 38/2005. The accounting principles adopted are comparable to those used as of 31 December 2009, except for the adoption of the following new or revised IFRS or IFRIC:

52

x

IFRS 2 – Share-based payments (Revised) – not applicable.

x

IFRS 3R – Business combinations (Revised) and IAS 27/R Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (Revised). These two principles were approved in June 2009. IFRS 3 (Revised) introduces a number of important changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs and future reported results. IAS 27 (Revised) requires that a change in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that does not result in loss of control be accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore these transactions will no longer create goodwill, nor profits or losses. In addition, the revised principle changes the accounting treatment in the event of the loss of control in a subsidiary. The changes introduced in IFRS 3R and IAS27R did not affect the financial position or the profit.

x

IAS 39 – Financial instruments: recognition and measurement – Eligible Hedged Items – Not applicable.

x

IFRIC 17 – Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners – Not applicable.

x

IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers – Not applicable.

The International Accounting Standards Board and the IFRIC issued new principles and interpretations that will become effective after the date of these financial statements. The Group has not adopted in advance any of these principles and interpretations. The main effects expected from the application of these principles and interpretations are the following:

Consolidated financial statements

x

IAS 24 – Related party financial statements disclosure. On November 4, 2009 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued the revision to IAS 24 – Related party financial statements disclosure. The changes adopted with the IAS 24 revision simplify the definition of “related party” and remove some inconsistencies and exempt government related entities from some disclosure requirements on the operations with related parties. Companies will apply IAS 24 and the changes to IFRS 8 at the latest beginning from the date of their first tax year starting after December 31, 2010. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this amendment will significantly impact the financial statements.

x

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments. The principles, applicable from 1 January 2013, represents the first part of a multi-phase process that will completely replace IAS 39 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and for the derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In particular for financial assets it uses a single approach based on the management of financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets to establish the measurement basis, replacing the different rules provided by IAS 39. For financial liabilities instead, the main change introduced refers to the accounting treatment of changes in fair value for a financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss, if that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability. According to the new principles these changes shall be presented in other comprehensive income (losses) and no longer shown in the profit and loss. At the date of these financial statements the European Union bodies had not yet complete the approval process to adopt the new principle.

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] On May 6, 2010, IASB issued a set of improvements to IFRS, which will be effective from 1 January 2011; below are the improvements that will change the presentation, recognition and measurement of the balance sheet items, omitting those that will only involve changes in wording or editorial changes with minimum accounting impact, or those affecting principles or interpretations nor applicable by the Group: x

IFRS 3 – Business combinations. The amendment clarifies that third parties interests that do grant their holders the right to a proportional share of the net assets of the subsidiary must be measured either at fair value or according to the applicable accounting principles. Therefore, for example, a stock-option plan given to the employees must be measured, in case of business combinations, according to the rules of IFRS 2 and the equity share of a convertible bond instrument must be measured according to IAS 32. In addition, the Board has given more information on share based payment plans which have been replaced within a business combination, adding specific guidelines for their proper accounting.

x

IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: additional information. The amendment points out the interaction between quality and quantity of additional information required by this principle in reference to the nature and scope of the risks involved in the financial instruments. This should help the users of the financial statements to connect the information given and to get a general description of the nature and scope of the risks involved in the financial instruments. In addition, the information disclosure requirement on financial assets that have expired but have been renegotiated or depreciated and of the fair value of collaterals.

x

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. With this amendments is it required that the reconciliation of the changes of each item of shareholders’ equity be presented in the notes or in the financial statements.

x

IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting – Not applicable. 53

Management and coordination

The Parent company is registered in Italy and is subject to the management and coordination of Wizard S.r.l (Rome).

Publication

Consolidated financial statements

Consolidation scope and principles

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The following companies are part of the scope of consolidation:

x subsidiary companies in which the Group directly or indirectly holds the majority of the share capital or of the shares with voting rights, or which are managed by the Group, are consolidated with the “line-by-line method”. Subsidiaries are consolidated line by line starting from the date in which the control begins and until the moment when the control is transferred outside the Group;

x Companies controlled by the Group directly or indirectly jointly with other parties (jointventures) are consolidated according the so-called “proportional method”, showing line-by-line assets, liabilities, revenues and costs proportionally to the equity stake held. The balance sheet and income statement data of the joint-venture are included in the consolidated statement starting from the date in which the joint control begins and until the date that such controls ends; x

affiliated companies, in which the Group directly or indirectly exercises significant influence, that are consolidated with the “equity method” by which profits and losses attributable to the Group are recognized each year on an accrual basis. The portion attributable to the Group of the profit of the affiliated companies is recorded in a specific line item in the income statement, starting from the date in which a significant influence is exercised and until the influence stops.

Consolidated financial statements

Consolidation scope and principles Consolidation principles

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The following consolidation principles were adopted: a) For the financial statements of subsidiaries and affiliated companies have been used the same accounting principles of the Parent Company; adjustments have been adopted to make comparable lines influenced by different accounting principles. b) Assets and liabilities, revenues and costs of the consolidated companies are recognized according to the line-by-line method, eliminating the book value of the shareholdings held by the Parent Company against the relevant shareholders’ equity. c) Receivables and payables, revenues and costs among consolidated companies are eliminated. d) Earnings of significant size included in goods in stock from transactions between Group companies are eliminated. e) Dividends paid out by companies consolidated according to the line-by-line method are eliminated in the Income statement, which recognizes the results realized in the year. f) The portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to minority interests is shown in a separate item in the Balance sheet; the Income statement shows the result for the financial year attributable to minority interests. g) The translation into euro, the Parent company’s currency, of financial statements in other currencies is carried out by applying to assets and liabilities the prevailing exchange rate at the accounting period end-date and to the income statement items the average exchange rates for the period. The relevant exchange rate differences are recognized as a change in shareholders’ equity.

When IFRS where first adopted, based on the provisions of IFRS 1, the Group decided not to apply IFRS 3 retroactively to business combinations created before 1st January 2004. The cost of a business combination includes the liabilities borne or taken over by the purchaser in exchange for the control of the acquired company. The cost of a business combination is allocated by recognizing, at the date of the acquisition, the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable at the purchase. The positive difference between the purchase cost and the portion of the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable at the purchase is shown as goodwill in the assets. Should the difference be negative, it is recognized directly in the income statement. If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally, the adjustments to the provisional values are recognized within twelve months from the purchase date.

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The most significant valuation criteria adopted when preparing the financial statements are described as follows:

1.1 Real estate, plants and machinery 1.2 Civil real estate

Real estate, plants and machinery are carried at historical cost, including directly attributable accessory costs. Land, both vacant and annexed to residential or industrial buildings, has not been amortized since its useful life is indefinite. Some assets that had been revaluated in previous periods, are shown at the revaluated amount, considered their deemed cost on the transition date to IAS. Assets acquired through business combination operations are recognized at fair value defined provisionally at the acquisition date and adjusted, if necessary, within the following twelve months. Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the value or prolong the remaining useful life of assets are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Tangible assets are shown net of accumulated depreciation and any reductions in value, determined in accordance with the methods described below. Depreciation is straight-line, based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life of the main real estate, plant and machinery is as follows: Land indefinite Civil buildings 33 years / indefinite Industrial buildings 10/33 years Plant and machinery: - Textile 8 years - Corrosive environment textile 5/6 years - Other 7/25 years Industrial and commercial equipment 4/7 years Other assets: - Electronic office machines 5 years - Office furniture and fixtures 7/8 years - Vehicles 4 years

1.3 Goodwill, trademarks and other intangible

Intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are recognized at cost, determined according to the methods prescribed for tangible assets, and shown net of accumulated amortization and any permanent reductions in value, determined according to the methods described below. Intangible assets with “indefinite useful life” (e.g. trademarks) are not amortized. Intangible assets acquired through business combination operations are recognized at fair value defined provisionally at the acquisition date and adjusted, if necessary, within the following twelve months.

Value reductions

For each accounting period, tangible and intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are analyzed to identify any indicators of value reduction; in this case an estimate is made of their estimated recoverable value (the greater of the net sales price and its value in use). The recoverable value of the intangible asset with an “indefinite useful life” is estimated for each accounting period. A reduction in value is recognized in the Income statement when the book value of the asset, or of the related cash generating unit, to which it is allocated, is greater than the estimated recoverable value. Reductions in value are written back if the reasons for the devaluation are no longer present.

Consolidated financial statements

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

1.5 Other shareholdings

Shareholdings in companies other than subsidiaries and affiliates are valued at fair value, charging any profits or losses directly to shareholders’ equity. At the time of their sale, such accumulated profits and losses are recognized in the Income statement. When their fair value cannot be reliably determined, shareholdings in other companies are valued at cost adjusted for reductions in value in any, and their effect is recognized in the Income statement.

1.8 Medium-long term financial assets

Financial assets are initially carried at their nominal value, representative of the fair value, and later recognized at the lower between the book value and the estimated sale value.

2. Non-current assets held for sale

Assets or groups of assets and liabilities which value will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use are recognized separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. Non-current assets or groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are recognized at the lower between the book value and the fair value net of the costs of sale.

3.1 Inventory

Inventory is carried at the lower between the cost of purchase or production and the estimated net realizable value. The cost of purchase is determined according to the methods described for fixed assets. The cost of production includes direct and indirect variable and fixed costs attributable to production.

3.2 Trade receivables 3.3 Other receivables

Trade receivables due within standard business terms and other operating receivables (other receivables) are not discounted and are carried at nominal value net of any write-downs. Adjustments to the estimated realizable value are recognized in a special adjustment reserve.

3.4 Short-term financial assets and cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets held for trading are carried at fair value recognized in the Income statement. Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash in hand, i.e. cash that is readily available or on a very short term, successfully, and without collection expenses.

5.1 Long-term provisions

Provisions to long-term reserves are recognized when there is a legal or implicit obligation towards a third party and it is likely that there will be an outlay of resources the amount of which can be reliably estimated. If the effect is significant, the provisions are determined by discounting the expected future financial flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market value of the cost of money in relation to time. When the amount is discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recognized as a financial charge. Liabilities for staff termination indemnities and for pension liabilities are evaluated also taking into consideration the results of the application of IAS 19.

Consolidated financial statements

5.4 Medium/long-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are initially carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. Thereafter, they are valued at the amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method.

6. Non-current liabilities held for sale

Groups of assets and liabilities the value of which will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use are recognized separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. Non-current groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are recognized at the lower of book value and fair value net of the costs of sale.

7.1 Trade payables and other payables

Trade payables due within standard business terms, and other operating payables, are not discounted and are carried at nominal value.

7.2 Short-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are carried at fair value. They are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the underlying instrument is formally documented and the effectiveness of the hedge, which is verified periodically, is adequate. When the derivatives cover the risk of change in fair value of the underlying instruments (fair value hedge), they are carried at fair value, and the difference is recognized in the Income statement; consistently, the underlying instruments are adjusted to reflect the change in fair value associated with the hedged risk, and the difference is also recognized in the Income statement. When the derivatives cover the risk of changes in cash flows from the underlying instruments (cash flow hedge), the changes in fair value are initially recognized in shareholders’ equity and later in the Income statement, consistently with the effects produced by the hedging transaction. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not satisfy the conditions for being qualified as hedges are recognized in the Income statement.

Translation of items in foreign currency

The financial statements of each consolidated company are prepared using the currency of the economy in which the company operates. In such cases, all transactions in currencies other than the unit of account are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the unit of account are later adjusted by the exchange rate prevailing at the end-date of the accounting period.

Contributions

Contributions from both government agencies and private third parties are carried at fair value when there is the reasonable certainty that they will be received and the prescribed conditions for obtaining them are satisfied. Contributions received for specific expenses are recognized among other liabilities and credited to the Income statement on a straight-line basis throughout the same period in which the related costs accrue. Contributions received for specific assets the value of which is stated among tangible and intangible assets, are shown among liabilities and credited in the Income statement in relation to the depreciation period for the assets to which they refer. Contributions during the accounting period are fully recognized in the Income statement at the time the conditions for recognizing them are satisfied.

Fair value

The fair value values used to prepare the financial statements, referred to the valuation of term purchases and sale of foreign currency and to foreign exchange options, were established based on the rates from the banking system. There were no transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Consolidated financial statements

61

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

8. Revenues

Depending on the type of transaction, revenues are recognized based on specific criteria indicated below: x revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when the significant risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the purchaser (typically at the time of shipment); x revenues for services provided are recognized on a percentage of completion basis.

15. Financial charges, net

Financial revenues and charges are recognized on the basis of accrued interest on the net value of the relevant financial assets and liabilities using the actual interest rate.

16. Dividends

Dividends are recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Dividends payable to third parties are shown as changes in net equity on the date they are approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Parent company.

20. Taxes

Current income taxes for the financial year are determined on the basis of estimates of taxable income and according to law. Deferred and advanced income taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between the balance sheet values carried and the recognized corresponding values for tax purposes, applying the tax rate in effect at the date the temporary difference will be reversed, calculated on the basis of the tax rates provided for by the law or substantially in force at the accounting reference date. The asset entry for advance tax payments is made when recovery is likely, that is when it is estimated that in the future there will be taxable amounts sufficient to recover the asset. The ability to recover assets for advance taxes is reassessed at the end of each accounting period. Deferred tax credits and liabilities are also set aside as a result of adjustments made to the financial statements of Group companies at the time of consolidation.

29. Base profit per share

The profit per share is calculated dividing the profit attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Parent Company by the weighted average of the outstanding ordinary shares during the period.

Use of estimates

In application of IFRS, preparing the consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the values of balance sheet assets and liabilities and the relevant information, as well as potential assets and liabilities at the reference date. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are based on past experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable in each case. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are reflected in the Income statement. A significant discretionary valuation is required from the directors to establish the amount of deferred tax assets that may be entered. They have to estimate the likely time of occurrence and the amount of future profit subject to tax as well as a planning strategy for future taxes. Estimates are used to record provisions for bad debt, for inventory obsolescence, depreciation, employees’ benefits, provisions for risks and liabilities, and to allocate the cost of the recent acquisitions of companies.

(458 k euro), Filivivi group (601 k euro), Linificio group (2,398 k euro), Ratti group (557 k euro) and other companies of the group. The reclassification to Non-current assets held for sale (1,348 k euro) refers to fixed assets transferred to Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l. (5,611 k euro) and the value of the decommissioned industrial site in Praia a Mare (CS) (4,263 k euro). The shareholding in Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l. was sold in January 2011. The change in the scope of consolidation (-2,701 k euro) refers to the acquisition of Ratti S.p.A. (6,958 k euro) and to the demerger of Marzotto S.p.A. through the transfer to Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A. (a company outside the Marzotto group) of the total shareholding held in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. (-9,659 k euro). The sale of fixed assets during the year has generated net capital gain before taxes for 1,872 k euro (capital gains for 1,913 k euro and capital losses for -41 k euro), which have been recognized under the line items Other income and charges. Fixed assets under construction and advances as of 31 December 2009 have been mostly reclassified in their appropriate categories. Those existing as of 31 December 2010 refer for 981 k euro to Ambiente Energia S.r.l., for 805 to companies of the Linificio group and for 569 k euro to the Parent company. As of December 31, 2010 the fixed assets of the Companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis were encumbered by mortgages to guarantee a loan for 2,500 k euro obtained by the subsidiary Filature de Lin Filin s.a.

They refer for 11,332 k euro to the Parent Company (2009: 10,440 k euro), for the relevant comments please refer to the notes on the Financial Statements of the Parent Company. The remaining deferred tax assets refer mainly to the temporary difference recognized by the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. group (2,608 k euro) and by the Filivivi S.r.l. group (1,656 k euro). Given the poor business performance, the Directors have deemed prudent not to include the expected taxation due on the taxable losses resulting from the national tax consolidation (of about 2.4 million euro). No deferred tax assets were entered on losses generated before the companies of the group participated in tax consolidation or transparency agreements.

The item includes non-current assets, the book value of which will be recovered mainly through sale rather than through continual use. Assets for sale are valued at the lower between their book value and the fair value net of sale costs. The amount includes 6,154 k euro in assets of Ghiaie Idroenergia S.r.l., company in which during the year the business unit “hydro-electric power plant” of Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. was transferred, and it was then sold to third party in January 2011. In 2009 the amount shown under Land and buildings and machinery included assets pertaining to the Praia a Mare (CS) factory (4,263 k euro). These assets have been reclassified under Tangible assets. In 2009 the item Other assets pertained to assets transferred from Marzotto S.p.A. and Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. to Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. and included mainly real estate in: Schio (VI), Noventa Vicentina (VI), Mortara (PV) and Fossalta di Portogruaro (VE), which were no longer included in the Group’s consolidation after the demerger of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. The Group is implementing a program to sell the assets within the scheduled timeframe. The time needed to complete the sales is not different than the time typically needed to sale this type of assets (medium-large industrial buildings). The undergoing negotiations confirm that the recognized values are recoverable. The item also includes the shareholding in the associated company Aree Urbane S.r.l., still recorded at the value of 1 euro, which is the lowest between the book value, calculated with the equity method at the date of the transaction, taking into account the cancellation of profits within the Group, and the relevant fair value at the date of the financial statements.

The share capital of the Parent Company at December 31, 2010, fully subscribed and paid up, consists of shares with a nominal value of 1 euro each. On December 22, 2009 the Extraordinary Shareholders’ meeting of Marzotto S.p.A. approved a paid increase of the share capital, at par and indivisible, from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,977,047 (euro 49,990,745), by issuing 49,990,745 new ordinary shares with a par value of 1 euro each, all bearing the same characteristics of the existing shares. The resolution was recorded at the Milan’s Companies Register on December 29, 2009. The increase was fully paid by the shareholder Wizard S.r.l. on December 22, 2009 and therefore the share capital of the parent company went from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,817,451. On February 15, 2010 the option period ended, following which 24,005 Marzotto shares were subscribed by minority shareholders. Since some shareholders exercised their pre-emption rights on un-opted shares, on February 24, 2010 the remaining 135,591 shares were paid up and therefore, the share capital of the Parent Company is, as of that date, euro 123,977,047 (fully paid). On June 24, 2010 a demerger deed was executed at Marzotto S.p.A. for the transfer of the total shareholding in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. to a newly incorporated company, named “Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A.”, owned by the same Shareholders of Marzotto S.p.A. The demerger deed became effective on 1st July 2010. On the same date, the share capital of the demerged company Marzotto S.p.A. was subsequently decreased, from 123,977,047 euro to 65,005,047 euro (and therefore for 58,972,000 euro), by cancelling the corresponding number of shares, and subsequently amending the By-laws of the demerged company.

Restructuring and relocation provisions

The agents’ indemnity reserve has been allocated to cover potential liabilities from the termination of agency contracts. The reserve was adjusted to take into account foreseeable potential liabilities in connection with contracts outstanding at the end of the financial year. The litigation risk reserve is allocated to cover liabilities that may arise from litigation or other disputes. It includes an estimate of charges from litigation arising during the year and a provision for the estimate of cases which arose in previous years, updated based on the indications of our internal and external legal experts.

Consolidated financial statements

The restructuring and relocation provisions are allocated mainly to offset planned charges and costs related to the industrial reorganization plan of some production operations. The tax reserve includes provisions to cover losses by group companies that may arise from tax liabilities. In reference to the dispute following the audit notice issued in December 1996 by the Inland Revenue’s Valdagno Office for alleged irregularities in the tax treatment of the 1990 acquisition of usage rights of shares, as of December 31, 2009 a provision for 13,092 k euro had been set aside. Following the second decision of the Regional Tax Commission in Venice on September 21, 2010, the above mentioned provision was utilized in compensation of the recognition of the Due to Tax Authorities for 16,240 k euro. The difference refers to the new calculation of the tax payable (capital, penalty and interest). Likewise, as already mentioned, following demerger agreements in 2005, there’s an amount receivable from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. of 10,943 k euro. The reserve for other risks and charges includes, among other items, foreseeable risks on operations carried out by the company Aree Urbane S.r.l.

Praia a Mare

Between 1999 and 2001, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Parent company’s Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the Seventies through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees and in reference to the area outside the factory, would have caused its pollution and contamination. After the Judge of the Court of Paola rejected two requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 the prosecution issued 14 notices of completion of the preliminary investigations, and their notification was repeated in February 2010. As of today the Parent company, with the favorable opinion of a reputable law firm, believes that compensation claim for damages in favor of a third party will not be assessed. Some former employees or heirs of former employees as indicated above, in October 2006 and in 2008, have also begun civil proceedings against the Parent company asking for compensation for the alleged damages due to work-related illnesses. As of today the disputes are at various progress levels since the claims were made subsequently. In any case, the technical appraisals so far completed, examined by technical experts and legal counsels for the Parent company, appear to exclude, so far, any particular liability of the Company in the reported illnesses. For none of the claims has been made any further preliminary investigation and therefore, save any different assessment following the investigations that are still underway, there are no objective element that lead us to believe the Parent company may suffer any liability. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin a series of characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have been suspended pending cautionary proceedings. As things stand, the costs for the possible soil reclamation are estimated anyway to be less than the possible sale value of the affected area.

Risks management (IFRS 7)

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties in a financial instrument may cause a financial loss by not complying with an obligation and it pertains mainly to trade receivables and financial investments of the Group. x

Trade receivables The credit risk is partly essentially reduced considering the type of customers, which are diversified and not significantly concentrated in the new outlet markets. The risk is handled through an insurance coverage policy managed by a specific function in the company, together with the sales organizations. The Group uses also on a regular basis specialized agencies to obtain business information to know in detail the geographical areas served.

x

Financial investments The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing exclusively in high liquidity securities and only with high credit rating parties.

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum exposure of the Group to the credit risk. At the end of the year the exposure was as follows: 2010

The information on guaranties given and received is contained in the section Contractual commitments and guarantees (memorandum accounts). The information on the provisions for bad debt is indicated in the note 3.2). Liquidity risk The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot meet the obligations arising out of financial liabilities. The Group however believes that the current debt structure and level, the available financial resources (deposits) and the unused bank loans, they all limit the negative effects of possible difficulties in obtaining credit. The contract due dates of the financial liabilities are indicated in the relevant notes.

Consolidated financial statements

Other information

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flow of a financial instrument might change following variations in the market prices, of exchange rates, tax rates or quotations of the instruments representing the capital. x

Exchange rate risk Considering the Group’s exposure to exchange rates fluctuations in foreign currency operations, we carry out hedging operations to determine the exchange rate based on estimates of sales and purchases volumes and the currency exchange rate considered when the price lists are prepared. Specifically, the Group uses the following hedging instruments: foreign currency loans; term sales and purchases in foreign currency; foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These hedging instruments are agreed upon with highest rated banks. The Group does not enter into term or option exchange rate contracts for speculative purposes. The hedged cash flows are expected within the financial year. The impact of the conversion in foreign currencies on the subsidiaries’ own capitals is recorded under a separate item in the shareholders’ equity. With reference to the most significant currencies, the table below shows the Company exposure to the exchange rate risk at the date of the financial statements. 2010 Usd

Interest rate risk The Group’s borrowing is mostly concentrated on variable tax rate. Considering the present financial structure and debt level of the Group, in case of an increase in the tax rate within the limits of the range that we can expect at the moment (0.5%) it would not significantly affect the group (in theory, in 2010, it would have involved higher net financial charges for approximately 250 k euro). The effects of the recent problems in the banking system could be a potential risk factor in reference to the cost of financing. The Group monitors constantly this potential risk.

Other risks The risk of price increase for raw materials, if significant, is considered when the price lists are prepared. At that same time, the net demand generated by the purchase budget are covered as much as possible by placing the orders with the suppliers, in order to minimize the effect on the income statement should the raw materials costs increase during the year. Considering the type of production and the financial structure, there are no other significant risks.

On June 3, 2010, in execution of the preliminary stock purchase and sale agreement signed on October 28, 2009, Marzotto S.p.A. acquired 30% of the share capital of Mediterranean Wool Industries Co. (MWI) S.A.E., a corporation registered in Egypt whose business purpose is the processing of textile fibers (combing, carbonization, other processes) at a newly built factory in Sadat City (Egypt). This joint-venture is the result of a cooperation agreement with the Schneider group, an important and well known player in the industry.

[Main events in 2010] Demerger of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A.

On June 24, 2010 a demerger deed was executed at Marzotto S.p.A. for the transfer of the total shareholding in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. to a newly incorporated company, named “Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A.”, owned by the same Shareholders of Marzotto S.p.A. During the tax year 2008 and also in 2009, the major part of non-core real estate assets of the Group was gradually transferred to the subsidiary Immobili e Partecipazioni (from the companies Marzotto S.p.A. and Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A.), in order to achieve the separation of non-strategic business to better focus the management and financial resources of the Group on its core-business. The demerger deed became effective on 1st July 2010. On the same date, the share capital of the demerged company Marzotto S.p.A. was subsequently decreased, from 123,977 thousand to euro 65,005 thousand (and therefore for total 58,972 thousands of euro), by cancelling the corresponding number of shares.

Liquidation of Aree Urbane

During the month of August 2010 the subsidiary Aree Urbane S.r.l. was placed in liquidation. Afterwards, during the month of December 2010, the shareholders of Aree Urbane have received a proposal of purchase of their shares, pending completion of the due diligence, or, alternatively, of the main real estate area in Rome. Due to the size of these proposals, which are still being verified, and due to the results of the actions taken by the appointed liquidator during the first months of management, we have no reason to believe that the rights of satisfaction of the creditors may be jeopardized and likewise from Marzotto S.p.A. towards Aree Urbane.

Marzotto becomes the sole shareholder of Tallia di Delfino 98

On July 7, 2008 Marzotto S.p.A., through the subscription of a reserved share capital increase of 3,500,000 euro, acquired a stake equal to 70% of the share capital of Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. The Investment agreement executed between Marzotto S.p.A. and Appia S.r.l. also entailed the payment to Tallia di Delfino, from Appia S.r.l., of any loss in excess for the period between st 1 January 2008 and 7 July 2008, in relation to an amount established by the parties; this agreement also provided for a combination of put and call options, which would have enabled Marzotto S.p.A. to redeem, at the end of 2012, the remaining shares (equal to 30%), therefore reaching a 100% stake in the share capital of Tallia. The recorded loss in excess was only partially offset by Appia, who remained debtor for the remaining amount equal to 1,060 thousands of euro. To recover this amount Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. took legal steps.

Report on the Company’s operations

[Main events in 2010] On November 25, 2009, the extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., pursuant to article 2447 of the Italian Civil Code, approved a resolution to bring the share capital to zero and its reconstitution through a share capital of 3,000,000 euro, subscribed by Marzotto S.p.A. for 2,100,000 euro and in option to Appia S.r.l. for 900,000 euro. Since Appia did not exercise its option right, on January 15, 2010 Marzotto became the sole shareholder of Tallia. Finally, on December 15, 2010, in order to resolve the still pending matters, the parties involved (Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., Marzotto S.p.A. and Appia S.r.l.) entered into a private deed for the cancellation of the Investment agreement and the off-setting of their mutual debits and credits open at that date. Among the consequences of this agreement, was the transfer at par value to Marzotto S.p.A. of the above mentioned credit owed to Tallia by Appia, this credit line item was off-set at the same time with part of Marzotto’s debts due to Appia, as defined in the Investment Contract of 2008 as payment amount for the 30% acquisition from minority investors. On December 31, 2010, due to the operating loss of the subsidiary and taking into account also the fact that Marzotto renounced its pre-emption right on 30% of the share capital and in view of all the above, Marzotto S.p.A. has made a shareholder payment on capital account in Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. for 2,000,000 euro, made by converting part of the financial credit towards the same company.

Dividend stripping

During the tax year 2010 Marzotto S.p.A. was notified of an entry in the tax litigation list and the pertaining payment request for a total of 28.2 million euro, subsequently reduced to 16.2 thanks to the steps taken by the competent Bodies based on appeals presented by the involved Corporations. In addition to the decrease in the amount, the payment request has been suspended, and therefore it will be discussed at the hearing set for May 10, 2011. This litigation, as already widely explained in the Annual Report for the previous years, involves the companies Marzotto S.p.A. and Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. jointly and severally, and for 1/3 and 2/3 respectively of the mentioned amount due to the Tax Authority, following the proportional partial demerger completed in 2005. Consequently and following the determination received in 2011 from the Tax Collector, the resulting liability has been adjusted in the 2010 financial statements of Marzotto S.p.A., compared to the amount in the 2009 financial statements, with an effect on the income of another 1.0 million euro.

Net revenues in total were 207.1 million euro, and they increased overall by 18.4% compared to 2009, extensively recovering the heavy decrease of last year following the serious crisis that affected the world’s economy. This increase is attributable both to the woollen fabrics sector (+16.2% as value), and to the cotton fabrics sector (+29.5% compared to last year; this result was achieved also thanks to the acquisitions of 101 the Dal Sasso and Nuovatessilbrenta brands, which have allowed to enter new niches in markets close to the historical Tessuti di Sondrio).

[Report on operations] Operating result

The Company’s operating result was -0.8 million euro, with a positive change of 10.2 million compared to the 11.0 million loss of 2009. This result was achieved thanks to the considerable recovery of the turnover, which has allowed for a better use of the production capacity and therefore to increase the margins. The unfavorable trend of the world economy had an strong impact of the 2009 profitability, due to the decrease of the production and sales volumes; the actions decided in 2009 to streamline the costs as a function of the readjustment of the reference markets, which during the last year had not yet absorbed the margins’ decrease, continued in 2010, when it was finally possible to notice more clearly their positive effect on the Company’s profits.

Non-recurring income and charges

The balance between non-recurring income and charges was negative for 0.8 million euro.

Dividends from shareholdings

Dividends received in 2010 by the Company were a total of 9.5 million euro (received from Marzotto Textile NV) compared to 10.0 million received in 2009 (in reference to the distribution by the subsidiary Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. of a portion of the cash available from the sale to a third party of the Villa d’Almè factory).

Other financial income and charges

The item Other financial income and charges shows a negative balance of 4.1 million, compared to an amount of -15.4 million in 2009.

In 2009 (when it was positive for 31.7 million) this item had been substantially affected by the capital gains from the transfer of non-core business real estate to the subsidiary Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A., for total 30.1 million euro.

The 2010 balance was mostly affected by the depreciation of the subsidiary F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. (-3.6 million euro), following the lasting substantial losses suffered by this company during the year. As explained, at the end of the month of December 2010 the difficult financial situation of the subsidiary, taking into account the renunciation by Marzotto of the pre-emption rights on 30% of the share capital, has led the same Parent Company afterwards to make a shareholder payment on capital account for 2,000,000 euro, which was carried out though the conversion of a portion of the financial receivable from Tallia.

102

Also in 2009 this item included depreciation of shareholdings: they referred to the subsidiary Tallia di Delfino for -3.7 million euro; -7.3 million referred to the alignment for the shareholding in Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. following the sale of the Villa d’Almè building, which had involved writing off the higher values recognized upon the acquisition of Linificio; finally the alignment to the initial book values of Aree Urbane, whose value had been adjusted following two share capital operations during the year to cover the losses (2.8 million).

Income taxes

The 2009 income taxes were 1.0 million euro, compared to -9.0 million the previous year. They refer for 1.4 million to current IRAP taxes (in 2009 they were 2.1 million, and this amount included 1.2 million for taxes due on the capital gains from the transfer of real estate assets to the subsidiary Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A.). In 2010 the Company also recorded tax receivables pertaining to the utilization by the domestic tax consolidation of prior years’ tax losses. As a reminder, starting in 2008, the companies Marzotto S.p.A., Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A., Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. and Licana S.p.A. (in liquidation), as well as, starting in 2009 F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A., Immobiliare Isola S.r.l. and Ambiente Energia S.r.l., have chosen the domestic tax consolidation regime, for which the Parent Company is Wizard S.r.l. In 2009 the item was mostly the result of the tax pressure from the operation to transfer and sell the non-core business real estate assets carried out during the year, which was off-set at tax consolidation level Wizard S.r.l. using the tax losses carried forward and current.

Invested capital, net of current liabilities, is 150.7 million euro (2009: 218.8 million). The decrease of the Working capital (-35.9 million euro), was affected by the factoring “without recourse” operation (15.2 million euro as of December 31, 2010), carried out at the end of the year with a primary financial institution, which allowed to contain the increase of trade receivables following the significant increase of the turnover. On the other hand, the increase of inventory’s usage compared to last year (+2.0 million), was definitely contained compared to the considerable increase of the volumes and prices of raw material. This containment was possible thanks to the positive effect of the plans to control the inventory at hand for all businesses. The change in Working capital has also been affected by short term non-financial liabilities, due to the higher trade payables in relation to the increase of turnover, and the recording of the amount Due to tax authorities in reference to the “dividend stripping” dispute, which has previously been included in the medium/long term funds (at the end of 2010 the liability is 16.2 million, of which 2/3 are also included in Other receivables since they pertain to the Company Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. as per the agreements reached after the demerger). The decrease of Net fixed assets (-41.1 million) is almost entirely attributable to the item Shareholdings (-45.0 million), due to the exclusion from the scope of consolidation of Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. st following the above mentioned demerger operation on 1 July 2010. This item also includes the change due to the acquisition of shareholdings in Ratti S.p.A. and Mediterranean Wool Industries for total 12.4 million euro. Also 2010 investments in core-business sectors continued, with investments to improve productivity, quality, customer service and environmental safety (for total 1.9 million euro, compared to 4.2 million in 2009).

[Report on operations] Net borrowing

The net financial position at the end of 2010 shows significant improvement (+12.2 million euro) compared to the prior year (2010: 34.0 million euro, compared to 46.2 million at the end of 2009). It has been affected in particular by the effects of the actions to control and manage the working capital, among which we point out the operation of factoring “without recourse”. Extraordinary operations contributed with a cash out of 14.4 million euro, in reference to the above mentioned acquisitions of Ratti and Mediterranean Wool Industries, and to the recapitalization of Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.

Net shareholders’ equity

Net shareholder’s equity went from 172.6 million in 2009 to 116.7 million in 2010, and it was affected in particular by the demerger Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. (-59.0 million) approved by the Shareholders’ meeting on April 19, 2010, and fully effective from July 1, 2010. The Company’s capitalization index (ratio between equity and net invested capital) remains therefore basically unchanged, from 78.9% at the end of 2009 to 77.4% at the end of 2010.

On June 23, 2010, the new supplementary labour agreement for the Guabello – Marlane was subscribed; this agreement subjects the payment of a portion of the yearly bonus to reaching the company’s operating profit goal. Along the same line, on July 16, 2010 the supplementary labour agreement of the Tessuti di Sondrio division was renewed. st

On 1 September 2010, for the benefit of the Marzotto Fabrics Division (Valdagno factory), the union agreement for the renewal of the solidarity contract was subscribed, beginning on September 7, 2010 and until September 6, 2011, involving 316 employees. On November 19, 2010 the deadline indicated by the procedure for laying-off employees with extended unemployment benefits was extended to April 30, 2011 as the final date for the procedure, as per the agreement on June 18, 2009. In fact, as of November 2010, 44 employees were still active out of the 109 redundancies at Marzotto Fabrics Division and Main Office.

Training and development of human resources

Marzotto considers training a key factor to increase and keep up-to-date its managers’ skills and technical knowledge. This is why we created Marzotto Training, the space for ongoing training within the 105 Company. Marzotto, through various training instruments (indoor, outdoor, on the job), has made efforts to improve the performance and the individual and community skills: in addition to programs for the individual (master, specialization courses) we have organized events involving communities strategic to the business (area finance, sales, fashion designers) in order to increase the tolls available to remain competitive. We have boosted our Corporate Intranet, personalizing the contents in areas targeted to the different professional figures in the Company. In 2010 the economic investment for training was approximately 250,000 euro, using inter-professional funds such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti, for total 1,940 hours of training, not including work safety training. Professional training programs focused on work safety were also offered within the Group, involving about 220 people. About 200 employees for 8 hours each were trained on the company’s risks and the applicable regulations. A new project was started for the integration of 10 engineering graduates, in the production plants of the Parent Company, to help recruiting new talented people, relaunching the Corporate Brand and developing specific and technical projects in the production areas.

[Other information] Shareholdings

In reference to the performance of the main direct subsidiaries (whose financial statements’ highlights are attached hereto), as well as shareholdings in associated companies and other shareholdings held by the Company, please refer to the Report of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The relations with controlled and associated Companies, and with related parties are presented in the financial statements and the relevant commentary notes.

Praia

Between 1999 and 2001, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Parent company’s Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the Seventies through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees and in reference to the are outside the factory, would have caused its pollution and contamination. After the Judge of the Court of Paola rejected two requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 the prosecution issued 14 notices of completion of the preliminary investigations, and their notification was repeated in February 2010. As of today the Company, with the favorable opinion of a reputable law firm, believes that compensation claim for damages in favor of a third party will not be assessed. Some former employees or heirs of former employees as indicated above, in October 2006 and in 2008, have also begun civil proceedings against the Company asking for compensation for the alleged damages due to work-related illnesses. As of today the disputes are at various progress levels since the claims were made subsequently. In any case, the technical appraisals so far completed, examined by technical experts and legal counsels for the Company, appear to exclude, so far, any particular liability of the Company in the reported illnesses. For none of the claims has been made any further preliminary investigation and therefore, save any different assessment following the investigations that are still underway, there are no objective element that lead us to believe the Company may suffer any liability. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, the Company was supposed to begin a series of characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have been suspended pending cautionary proceedings. As things stand, the costs for the possible soil reclamation are estimated anyway to be less than the possible sale value of the affected area.

[Significant events after the close of the year] Transfer to Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.

At the end of 2010, Marzotto approved an operation for the transfer to Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. of the business unit corresponding to the business identified as the Guabello and Marlane brands; the resulting Company will be named “Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A.” and will be 100% controlled by Marzotto S.p.A. The reasons for this transfer are the need to gather the textile activities in the Biella area in one single corporate hub, in order to take advantage of the possible synergies to increase the system effectiveness and to seize the opportunity for the valorization and strengthening of each brand, taking advantage of the quality and product identity typical of the Made in Biella products, which is enabled by belonging to the Biella area. st This operation will be effective on 1 May 2011.

107

Report on the Company’s operations

[Performance news and outlook for the current year] The great trend of the turnover and the orders received in the first months of 2011 lead us to believe there will be a further improvement of volumes and margins for the Company compared to the previous year. The turnover performance during the first two months confirms this outlook, while the current orders received show an increase for all the business sectors of Marzotto. While in the macro-economic scenario there are still instability and fragility factors, the most serious threat to the Textile industry in 2011 comes from the procurement markets: the record price increases which began last year do not show any sign of slowing down, and this is made more serious by the difficulty in obtaining raw materials. For several reasons, these increases do not appear to be slowing down in the short term, and they will end up having a substantial effect on corporate margins. In addition to some recovery signs already apparent, there are still weakness elements of macroeconomic nature, both on the domestic and the international markets: the difficulty in the recovery of consumption due to unemployment and the reduced purchase power, a general lack of confidence mood, and on the exterior the performance of foreign currency markets, or the possible inflation dynamics created by the high increase of raw material prices just to name a few. The continuation of these uncertainty elements does not make it easy predict if the favorable trend shown by Marzotto in the results for the first months of 2011 will continue; however we predict that the results of the year 2011 will be better than the results of 2010. The activities to identify and implement actions to reach higher efficiency levels and recover productivity continue, in order to contain and manage at best the impact of the above mentioned situations. In reference to medium term plans, management is carefully and constantly monitoring the markets to optimize all costs as a function of the settlement in the end markets, while at the same time taking full advantage of the synergies within the Group, also thanks to the recent strengthening and development investments, like Egypt and Ratti. The medium term plans also include the Company’s search for internationalization opportunities, especially in reference to the markets in China, India, South America. The strong tendency to monitor capital employed in production and especially working capital (in particular receivables and inventory) continues, to streamline the financial resources used in the business. 108

Introduction

Accounting principles

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] Marzotto S.p.A.’s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the related interpretations by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), approved by the European Commission and incorporated in Italian law by Italian Legislative Decree 38/2005. The accounting principles adopted are comparable to those used as of December 31, 2009, except for the adoption of the following new or revised IFRS or IFRIC: x

IFRS 2 – Share-based payments (Revised) – not applicable.

x

IFRS 3R – Business combinations (Revised). IFRS 3 (Revised) introduces a number of important changes in the accounting for business combinations that will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs and future reported results.

x

IAS 39 – Financial instruments: recognition and measurement – Eligible Hedged Items – Not applicable.

x

IFRIC 17 – Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners – Not applicable.

x

IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers – Not applicable.

The International Accounting Standards Board and the IFRIC issued new principles and interpretations that will become effective after the date of these financial statements. The Company has not adopted in advance any of these principles and interpretations. The main effects expected from the application of these principles and interpretations are the following: x

IAS 24 – Related party financial statements disclosure. On November 4, 2009 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has issued the revision to IAS 24 – Related party financial statements disclosure. The changes adopted with the IAS 24 revision simplify the definition of “related party” and remove some inconsistencies and exempt government related entities from some disclosure requirements on the operations with related parties. Companies will apply IAS 24 and the changes to IFRS 8 at the latest beginning from the date of their first tax year starting after December 31, 2010. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this amendment will significantly impact the financial statements.

x

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments. The principles, applicable from January 1, 2013, represents the first part of a multi-phase process that will completely replace IAS 39 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and for the derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In particular for financial assets it uses a single approach based on the management of financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets to establish the measurement basis, replacing the different rules provided by IAS 39. For financial liabilities instead, the main change introduced refers to the accounting treatment of changes in fair value for a financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss, if that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability. According to the new principles these changes shall be presented in other comprehensive income (losses) and no longer shown in the profit and loss. At the date of these financial statements the European Union bodies had not yet complete the approval process to adopt the new principle.

116

Financial Statements of the Company

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] On May 6, 2010, IASB issued a set of improvements to IFRS, which will be effective from January 1, 2011; below are the improvements that will change the presentation, recognition and measurement of the balance sheet items, omitting those that will only involve changes in wording or editorial changes with minimum accounting impact, or those affecting principles or interpretations nor applicable by the Group: x

IFRS 3 – Business combinations. The amendment clarifies that third parties interests that do grant their holders the right to a proportional share of the net assets of the subsidiary must be measured either at fair value or according to the applicable accounting principles. Therefore, for example, a stock-option plan given to the employees must be measured, in case of business combinations, according to the rules of IFRS 2 and the equity share of a convertible bond instrument must be measured according to IAS 32. In addition, the Board has given more information on share based payment plans which have been replaced within a business combination, adding specific guidelines for their proper accounting.

x

IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: additional information. The amendment points out the interaction between quality and quantity of additional information required by this principle in reference to the nature and scope of the risks involved in the financial instruments. This should help the users of the financial statements to connect the information given and to get a general description of the nature and scope of the risks involved in the financial instruments. In addition, the information disclosure requirement on financial assets that have expired but have been renegotiated or depreciated and of the fair value of collaterals.

x

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. With this amendments is it required that the reconciliation of the changes of each item of shareholders’ equity be presented in the notes or in the financial statements.

x

IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting – Not applicable.

Publication

The Company has controlling interests and therefore has prepared, together with the company’s financial statements, the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The publication of these financial statements has been authorized by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2011.

Financial statements

The Financial Statements consist of the Balance Sheet, the Income Statement, the Cash flow statement, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and the relevant explanatory notes. With regard to the presentation of the financial statements, the Company has made the following choices: x for the Balance Sheet we have indicated separately current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities.

Financial Statements of the Company

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] The most significant valuation standards adopted in preparing the financial statements are indicated below:

1.1 Real estate, plants and machinery 1.2 Civil real estate

Real estate, plants and machinery are carried at historical cost, including directly attributable accessory costs. Land, both vacant and annexed to civil or industrial buildings, has not been amortized since its useful life in indefinite. Some assets that had been revaluated in previous periods, are shown at the revaluated amount, considered their deemed cost on the transition date to IAS. Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the value or prolong the remaining useful life of assets are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Tangible assets are shown net of accumulated depreciation and any reductions in value, determined in accordance with the methods described below. Depreciation is straight-line, based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life of the main real estate, plant and machinery is as follows: Land Civil buildings Industrial buildings Plant and machinery: - Textile - Corrosive environment textile - Other Industrial and commercial equipment Other assets: - Electronic office machines - Office furniture and fixtures - Vehicles

indefinite 33 years / indefinite 10/33 years 8 years 5/6 years 7/25 years 4/7 years 5 years 7/8 years 4 years 119

1.3 Goodwill, trademarks and other intangible fixed assets

Intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are recognized at cost, determined according to the methods prescribed for tangible assets, and shown net of accumulated amortization and any permanent reductions in value, determined according to the methods described below. Intangible assets with “indefinite useful life” (e.g. trademarks) are not amortized.

Value reduction

For each accounting period, tangible and intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are analyzed to identify any indicators of value reduction; in this case an estimate is made of their estimated recoverable value (the greater of the net sales price and its value in use). The recoverable value of the intangible asset with an “indefinite useful life” is estimated for each accounting period. A reduction in value is recognized in the Income statement when the book value of the asset, or of the related cash generating unit, to which it is allocated, is greater than the estimated realizable value. Reductions in value are written back if the reasons for the devaluation are no longer present.

Financial Statements of the Company

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company's financial statements]

1.5 Shareholdings

Shareholdings in controlled, jointly controlled and affiliated companies that represent lasting investments are shown at the cost of acquisition or establishment. Shareholdings in other companies are valued at fair value, charging any profits or losses directly to shareholders’ equity. At the time of their sale, such accumulated profits and losses are recognized in the Income statement. When their fair value cannot be reliably determined, shareholdings in other companies are valued at cost adjusted for reductions in value, with the difference recognized in the Income statement. When dividends on shareholdings are distributed from profits generated before the acquisition, they are deducted from the cost of the shareholding. The Company verifies, at each financial statements’ date, if there is any indication of lasting reduction in value for all shareholdings. In particular, shareholdings in subsidiary and affiliated companies are checked for possible losses of value at least yearly; this check requires an estimate of the use value of the unit generating financial flows to which we attribute the cost of the shareholding, which is based in turn on the estimate of the financial flows expected from the unit and on their discount based on an adequate discount.

1.8 Medium-long term financial assets

Financial assets are initially carried at their nominal value, representative of the fair value, and later recognized at the lower between the book value and the estimated sale value.

2. Non-current assets held for sale

Assets or groups of assets and liabilities whose value will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use are recognized separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. Non-current assets or groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are recognized at the lower between the book value and the fair value net of the costs of sale.

3.1 Inventory

Inventory is carried at the lower between the cost of purchase or production and the estimated net realizable value. The cost of purchase is determined according to the methods described for fixed assets. The cost of production includes direct and indirect variable and fixed costs attributable to production.

3.2 Trade receivables 3.3 Other receivables

Trade receivables due within standard business terms and other operating receivables (other receivables) are not discounted and are carried at nominal value net of any write-downs. Adjustments to the estimated realizable value are recognized in a special adjustment reserve.

3.4 Short-term financial assets and cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash in hand, i.e. cash that is readily available or on a very short term, successfully, and without collection expenses.

5.1 Long-term provisions

Provisions to long-term reserves are recognized when there is a legal or implicit obligation towards a third party and it is likely that there will be an outlay of resources the amount of which can be reliably estimated. If the effect is significant, the provisions are determined by discounting the expected future financial flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market value of the cost of money in relation to time. When the amount is discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recognized as a financial charge. Liabilities for staff termination indemnities and for pension liabilities are evaluated also taking into consideration the results of the application of IAS 19.

120

Financial Statements of the Company

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] 5.4 Medium/long-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are initially carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. They are later measured using the effective interest rate method.

6.1 Trade payables and other payables

Trade payables due within standard business terms, and other operating payables, are not discounted and are carried at nominal value.

6.2 Short-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are carried at fair value. They are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the underlying instrument is formally documented and the effectiveness of the hedge, which is verified periodically, is adequate. When the derivatives cover the risk of change in fair value of the underlying instruments (fair value hedge), they are carried at fair value, and the difference is recognized in the Income statement; consistently, the underlying instruments are adjusted to reflect the change in fair value associated with the hedged risk, and the difference is also recognized in the Income statement. When derivatives cover the risk of changes in cash flows from the underlying instruments (cash flow hedge), the changes in fair value are initially recognized in the shareholders’ equity and later in the Income statement, consistently with the effects produced by the hedging transaction. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not satisfy the conditions for being qualified as hedges are recognized in the Income statement.

Translation of items in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of the transaction. At the closing date, trade and financial receivables and payables are adjusted to the exchange rate at end 121 of the year. The instruments used to hedge the exchange rate risk, in relation to specific assets and liabilities or groups of assets and liabilities, are shown in the income statement on an accrual basis.

Contributions

Contributions from both government agencies and private third parties are carried at fair value when there is the reasonable certainty that they will be received and the prescribed conditions for obtaining them are satisfied. Contributions received for specific expenses are recognized among other liabilities and credited to the Income statement on a straight-line basis throughout the same period in which the related costs accrue. Contributions received for specific assets whose value is stated among tangible and intangible assets, are shown among liabilities and credited in the Income statement in relation to the depreciation period for the assets to which they refer. Contributions during the accounting period are fully recognized in the Income statement at the time the conditions for recognizing them are satisfied.

Fair value

The fair values used to prepare the financial statements, referred to the valuation of term purchases and sale of foreign currency and to foreign exchange options, were established based on the rates from the banking system. There were no transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Statements of the Company

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company's financial statements]

7. Revenues

Depending on the type of transaction, revenues are recognized based on specific criteria indicated below: x revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when the significant risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the purchaser (typically at the time of shipment); x revenues for services provided are recognized on a percentage of completion basis.

14. Financial charges, net

Financial revenues and charges are recognized on the basis of accrued interest on the net value of the relevant financial assets and liabilities using the actual interest rate.

15. Dividends

Dividends are recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Dividends payable to third parties are shown as changes in net equity on the date they are approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

19. Taxes

Current income taxes for the financial year are determined on the basis of estimates of taxable income and according to law. Deferred and advance income taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between the balance sheet values carried and the recognized corresponding values for tax purposes, applying the tax rate in effect at the date the temporary difference will be reversed, calculated on the basis of the tax rates provided by the law or substantially in force at the accounting reference date. The asset entry for advance tax payments is made when recovery is likely, that is when it is estimated that in the future there will be taxable amounts sufficient to recover the asset. The ability to recover assets for advance tax payments is reassessed at the end of each accounting period.

Use of estimates

In application of IFRS, preparing the financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the values of balance sheet assets and liabilities and the relevant information, as well as potential assets and liabilities at the reference date. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are based on past experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable in each case. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are reflected in the Income statement. A significant discretionary valuation is required from the Directors to establish the amount of deferred tax assets that may be posted. They have to estimate the likely time of occurrence and the amount of future profit subject to tax as well as a planning strategy for future taxes. Estimates are also used to record provisions for bad debt, for inventory obsolescence, amortization and depreciation, employee benefits, provisions for risks and charges.

Other information

To prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements for printing and to make them easier to read, all figures in the consolidated Balance sheet, the Income statement, the Cash flow statement and the Table of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, as well as in the notes, are expressed in thousands of euro (also shown hereinafter, in short, as “k euro”).

122

For an easier comparison, the previous year figures have been reclassified as needed, and adequate information has been provided. Please refer to the report on operations for further information regarding: x main events of the 2010 financial year; x events after the close of the financial year; x foreseeable operating developments; x other relevant information on operating performance and the balance sheet structure.

1. Original cost of the assets still being amortised.

The category Concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights includes the value of Guabello trademark (2,300 k euro). The impairment test on the trademark’s value is performed establishing its use value according to the method of comparable royalty rates. The cash flows are discounted at a discount rate equal to the current interest rate without market risk, in relation to a time frame consistent with the duration of flows (10 years, given the historicity of the trademark), plus the risk coefficient specific to the activity. During the year, costs were capitalized as follows: A) Industrial patent and intellectual property rights for 119 k euro, basically regarding software and EDP applications. D) Intangible fixed assets being developed and advance payments for 13 k euro. At year end 806 k euro were mainly capitalized (and not amortized), mainly in relation to software development costs. Research and development expenses paid during the year, pertaining to product innovation and applications for the rationalization of production and logistics, have been charged to the income statement.

The increase in Shareholdings refers: ƒ for 2,500 k euro to a Shareholder’s capital contribution for Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. (June 28, 2010); ƒ for 1,536 k euro to the Fair Value of 30% of the share capital of F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. acquired during the year; ƒ for 2,000 k euro to a Shareholder’s capital contribution for said company (December 31, 2010); ƒ for 10,402 k euro to the acquisition of 33.364% of the Ratti Group (March 5, 2010); ƒ for 2,027 k euro to the acquisition of 30% of the share capital of Mediterranean Wool Industries Co. (MWI) S.A.E. (June 3, 2010). The decrease refers to non-exercise of the option right by the minority shareholder Appia S.r.l. and to the subsequent renunciation to exercise the pre-emption right by Marzotto S.p.A. Also in reference to the shareholding in F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. we point out that on December 15, 2010, in order to settle the still pending matters, the subscribers of the Investment Agreement of July 7, 2008 (Marzotto S.p.A./Appia S.r.l./F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.) have decided to terminate this agreement (please refer to “Main events of 2010” of the Report of the Company’s operations). On June 24, 2010 the demerger deed of Marzotto S.p.A. was executed, assigning the whole shareholding in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. (58,958 keuro) to a newly incorporated company named “Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A.”, owned by the same shareholders as Marzotto S.p.A. The deed became effective from July 1, 2010. Following the lasting loss of value, the Company has written-down the shareholding in F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. (3,636 k euro). The impairment test on the value of assets is performed using the Discounted Cash Flow method applied to each Cash Generating Unit. For the calculation of their value, the projection of cash flows from the economic/financial plan was used. The values recognized in the financial statements appear recoverable.

As of December 31, 2010 the share capital, fully subscribed and paid up, consists of shares with a nominal value of 1 euro each. On December 22, 2009 the Extraordinary Shareholders’ meeting of Marzotto S.p.A. approved a paid increase of the share capital, at par and indivisible, from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,977,047, equal to euro 49,990,745, by issuing 49,990,745 new ordinary shares with a par value of 1 euro each, all bearing the same characteristics of the existing shares. The resolution was recorded at the Milan’s Companies Register on December 29, 2009. The increase was fully paid by the shareholder Wizard S.r.l. on December 22, 2009 and therefore the share capital of the Parent Company went from euro 73,986,302 to euro 123,817,451. On February 15, 2010 the option period ended, following which 24,005 Marzotto shares were subscribed by minority shareholders. Since some shareholders exercised their pre-emption rights on unopted shares, on February 24, 2010 the remaining 135,591 shares were paid up and therefore, the share capital of the Parent Company is, as of that date, euro 123,977,047 (fully paid). On June 24, 2010 a demerger deed was executed at Marzotto S.p.A. for the transfer of the total shareholding in Immobili e Partecipazioni S.p.A. to a newly incorporated company, named “Nuova Immobiliare S.p.A.”, owned by the same Shareholders of Marzotto S.p.A. The demerger deed became effective on 1st July 2010. On the same date, the share capital of the demerged company Marzotto S.p.A. was subsequently decreased, from 123,977,047 euro to 65,005,047 euro (and therefore for 58,972,000 euro), by cancelling the corresponding number of shares, and subsequently amending the By-laws of the demerged company.

In particular, the Group uses the following instruments: x foreign currency loans; x forward sales and purchases in foreign currency; x foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. The reserve includes the fair value of these transactions, net of the effect of taxes (234 k euro), for the part not allocated to the Income statement.

The agents’ indemnity reserve has been allocated to cover potential liabilities from the termination of agency contracts. The reserve was adjusted to take into account foreseeable potential liabilities in connection with contracts outstanding at the end of the financial year. The litigation risk reserve is allocated to cover liabilities that may arise from litigation or other disputes. It includes an estimate of charges from litigation arising during the year and a provision for the estimate of cases which arose in previous years, updated based on the indications of our internal and external legal experts. The restructuring and relocation provisions are allocated mainly to offset planned charges and costs related to the industrial reorganization plan of some production operations. The tax reserve includes provisions to cover potential losses by the company that may arise from tax liabilities.

Financial Statements of the Company

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] In reference to the dispute following the audit notice issued in December 1996 by the Inland Revenue Valdagno Office for alleged irregularities in the tax treatment of the 1990 acquisition of usage rights of shares as of December 31, 2009 a provision for 13,092 k euro had been set aside. Following the second decision of the Regional Tax Commission in Venice on September 21, 2010, the above mentioned provision was utilized in compensation of the recognition of the Due to Tax Authorities for 16,240 k euro. The difference refers to the new calculation of the tax payable (capital, penalty and interest). Likewise, as already mentioned, following demerger agreements in 2005, there’s an amount receivable from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. in the amount of 10,943 k euro. The reserve for other risks and charges includes, among other items, foreseeable risks on operations carried out by the company Aree Urbane S.r.l.

Praia a Mare

Between 1999 and 2001, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Company’s Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the Seventies through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees and in reference to the are outside the factory, would have caused its pollution and contamination. After the Judge of the Court of Paola rejected two requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 the prosecution issued 14 notices of completion of the preliminary investigations, and their notification was repeated in February 2010. As of today the Company, with the favorable opinion of a reputable law firm, believes that compensation claim for damages in favor of a third party will not be assessed. Some former employees or heirs of former employees as indicated above, in October 2006 and in 2008, have also begun civil proceedings against the Company asking for compensation for the alleged damages due to work-related illnesses. As of today the disputes are at various progress levels since the claims were made subsequently. In any case, the technical appraisals so far completed, examined by technical experts and legal counsels for the Company, appear to exclude, so far, any particular liability of the Company in 133 the reported illnesses. For none of the claims has been made any further preliminary investigation and therefore, save any different assessment following the investigations that are still underway, there are no objective element that lead us to believe the Company may suffer any liability. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin a series of characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have been suspended pending cautionary proceedings. As things stand, the costs for the possible soil reclamation are estimated anyway to be less than the possible sale value of the affected area.

The write-down of the shareholding in F.lli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. is due to the lasting loss of value of the company (see point 1.5).

Financial Statements of the Company

Other information Risks management (IFRS 7)

[Notes to the Company's financial statements] Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties in a financial instrument may cause a financial loss by not complying with its obligation and it pertains mainly to trade receivables and financial investments of the Company. x

Trade receivables The credit risk is partly essentially reduced considering the type of customers, which are diversified and not significantly concentrated in the new outlet markets. The risk is handled through an insurance coverage policy managed by a specific function in the company, together with the sales organizations. The Company also uses on a regular basis specialized agencies to obtain business information and to know in detail the geographical areas served.

x

Financial investments The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing exclusively in high liquidity securities and only with high credit rating parties.

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum exposure of the Group to the credit risk. At the end of the year the exposure was as follows: 2010

The information on guarantees given and received is contained in the section Contractual commitments and guarantees (memorandum accounts). The information on the provisions for bad debt is indicated in the note 3.2). Liquidity risk The liquidity risk is the risk that the Company cannot meet the obligations arising out of financial liabilities. The Company however believes that the current debt structure and level, the available financial resources (deposits) and the unused bank loans, they all limit the negative effects of possible difficulties in obtaining credit. The contract due dates of the financial liabilities are indicated in the relevant notes.

Financial Statements of the Company

[[Notes to the Company's financial statements] Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument might change following variations in the market prices, of exchange rates, tax rates or quotations of the instruments representing the capital. x

Exchange rate risk Considering the Company’s exposure to exchange rates fluctuations in foreign currency operations, we carry out hedging operations to determine the exchange rate based on estimates of sales and purchases volumes and the currency exchange rate considered when the price lists are prepared. Specifically, the Group uses the following hedging instruments: foreign currency loans; forward sales and purchases in foreign currency; foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These hedging instruments are agreed upon with highest rated banks. The Company does not enter into forward or optional exchange rate contracts for speculative purposes. The hedged cash flows are expected within the financial year. With reference to the most significant currencies, the table below shows the Company exposure to the exchange rate risk at the date of the financial statements. 2010 Usd

Interest rate risk The Company’s borrowing is mostly concentrated on variable tax rate. Considering the present financial structure and debt level of the Company, in case of an increase in the tax rate within the limits of the range that we can expect at the moment (0.5%) it would not significantly affect the group (in theory, in 2010, it would have involved higher net financial charges for approximately 170 k euro). The effects of the recent problems in the banking system could be a potential risk factor in reference to the cost of financing. The Company monitors constantly this potential risk.

Other risks The risk of price increase for raw materials, if significant, is analyzed when the price lists are prepared. At that same time, the net demand generated by the purchase budget are covered as much as possible by placing the orders with the suppliers, in order to minimize the effect on the income statement should the raw materials costs increase during the year. Considering the type of production and the financial structure, there are no other significant risks.
