Dear Shareholders, Juventus has reconfirmed its role as one of the main stars of international and Italian football in the 2000/2001 season (in the last seven years Juventus has won the Serie A Championship three times and has been runner up three times). These excellent sporting results are flanked by equally successful financial results. Not only has your Company closed the financial year with a profit for the fifth year running, but it will also distribute dividends to shareholders of almost 20% of net profit for the third year running. Juventus has consolidated and increased its leadership in various areas, the first one being the team's fans. Several reliable market research projects have shown that the number of bianconeri supporters has grown tremendously, not only in Italy but in Europe, where Juventus is now the leading team, with over 17 million supporters. Your Company has also been extremely active in the business sector, an area in which it has been responsible for extensive innovation over recent
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT years, and where it is recognised as a role model for the whole market. Juventus currently has over 120 partner companies, with whom it has a solid and mutually stimulating relationship. The avant-garde policies for promoting the Juventus image and brand name have proved successful thanks to the excellent management of television rights and important new developments in the most modern forms of communication, based upon SMS, WAP, GSM and UMTS technologies. The same attention paid to new technologies and new forms of social communication has been given to increasing the Company's presence on the Web where, with the opening of a new virtual shop and a business-tobusiness site (the first Italian website in the sector), the club now has three official sites. The management of the image of the individual football players, unique in its kind among European football clubs, has also been extremely successful. The creation of a more structured commercial policy for markets in the Far East, an area which has extraordinary potential for the bianconeri brand name, has taken on particular strategic value. The 2000/2001 season also represents an important moment in the evolution of your Company. Strategic new investments are being made to increase the company value and allow for interesting future developments. An example of this is the acquisition of 96.6% of Campi di Vinovo S.p.A., owner of almost 500,000 m2 of land upon which the Sports Centre is to be built. Now approximately 300 Juventus footballers will have their
own permanent training and sports facility. Furthermore, plans are underway to turn part of the area which is not destined for the sports centre into leisure, entertainment and shopping facilities. We should certainly not forget the purchase of the valuable and prestigious building located in Turin at Corso Galileo Ferraris 32, which perfectly suits the Company's image and to which the registered offices have been transferred. This is the first building to be fully owned by Juventus in its more the one hundred year history. The strategy and projects described above have triggered a process which will enable Juventus to evolve from being a modern football club and media company to being an international leisure group, the first in the world of Italian football. I would also like to highlight the constant commitment that your Company has to social activities. Alongside the projects begun over recent years (Fatti e Progetti per i Giovani with the Don Bosco Missions, and the co-operation with the Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro), First Team football players took part during 2000/2001 in an important project in favour of the Gaslini Hospital in Genoa (Un Sogno per il Gaslini), aimed at creating structures to welcome and entertain the hospitalised children. A derby was played against Torino in December 2000 and all gate receipts were donated to victims of the floods which hit Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. Thanks to these important projects, "VITA non profit magazine" awarded Juventus the Solidarity Scudetto. Lastly, on 19 July, 2001 the Juventus Board of Directors approved plans to list the Company on the MTA. Listing on the Stock Exchange will represent an important phase in the evolution of your Company and will strengthen its economic and sporting leadership. Looking forward to further success, in keeping with the history and recent past of your Company, I, along with the Board of Directors, would like to thank all Shareholders and Statutory and Independent Auditors for their commitment, and Managers, Staff, Coaching staff and Athletes for the energy expended and the results achieved.
The Chairman

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Dear Shareholders, The 2000/2001 sporting season featured your Team in a leading role in the Serie A Championship, ending the second season running as runners up, with a total of 73 points. This result took Juventus directly through to the first round of the 2001/2002 UEFA Champions League. The Financial Statements as at 30 June, 2001 are drawn up in Euros as this currency was adopted for all accounts from 1 July, 2000. The Financial Statements as at 30 June, 2001 which we are submitting for your approval close with a net profit of E 5.775 million, with an increase of approximately 5% compared with last year, after taxes amounting to approximately E 5 million and amortisation for approximately E 37.7 million. Turnover climbed by E 33.7 million, from E 139.7 to 173.4 million, with an increase of 24% due mainly to the increase in revenues from television and telephonic rights, the UEFA Champions League and sponsorship contracts. The breakdown of revenues for 2000/2001 is the following:
26.4% 55.5% Television-telephonic rights-UEFA Champions League
Sponsors and commerce
10.7% Other revenues
7.4% Gate receipts
The financial year was also characterised by new financial projects to diversify revenue sources, with the stipulation of two seven-year contracts for the sale of telephonic rights (UMTS and SMS-WAP). The official sponsors during 2000/2001 were Europa Tv (TELE+ brand) for the Serie A Championship and Italian Cup, and Sportal for the UEFA Champions League. Technical sponsorship was divided between Ciaoweb S.p.A. for the Serie A Championship and European competitions, and Lotto Italia S.p.A. for the Italian Cup, friendly matches, training material and the youth team strips. The purchase of the rights to use the image of football players continued throughout the year, Juventus
28
is the very first club to have created a department specialised in the management of such rights.
Management Report
The development of this activity, which is still in the early stages, has enabled the stipulation of numerous contracts with companies interested in using Juventus football players in their advertising campaigns, with a consequent increase in related revenues. In terms of new technologies and research into various forms of communication, aimed at offering greater exposure to the Team and the Company, 2 new websites were launched this season: • Juvestore.it, dedicated to the on-line sale of Juventus products in partnership with Ciaoweb S.p.A., which registered the following sales distribution: 18% in Italy, 61% in Europe and 21% in the rest of the world; • JuventusBiz.com, created to offer access to the Juventus world to existing and future commercial partners. The Company’s official website, Juventus.com, also achieved excellent results, registering over 5 million page impressions, with more than 500,000 unique users and 40,000 registered users. On average, individual visits lasted longer than six minutes and access was well distributed: 23% from Italy, with 77% from the rest of the world, 20% of which accounted for by the Far East. Your Company was therefore able to take advantage of all the financial opportunities offered by the market, confirming its name as a football club but also as a media company. Costs amounted to E 190.9 million, with an increase of E 24.5 million, mainly determined by increases in football players’ salaries and amortisation of players’ registration costs (equal to E 37.0 million, +11.7% approx. compared with 1999/2000). The net capital gains from the disposal of players’ registration amount to E 18.4 million, while the termination of player sharing contracts generated net earnings of E 7.9 million. The financial balance of the 2000/2001 transfer campaign was negative by E 32.7 million. In October 2000 a property located in Turin, Corso Galileo Ferraris 32, was purchased and your Company moved its registered offices there in January 2001. Since 1999 your Company has chosen to concentrate its social commitment in the project Fatti e Progetti per i Giovani, together with the Don Bosco Missions. In conjunction with the Economics Department of Turin University, ten Sport Management educational scholarships dedicated to the memory of Giovanni Alberto Agnelli have been awarded as part of this project. Other projects to commemorate the memory of Edoardo Agnelli, who was once a director of the Company, are currently in the research stages. For several years now your Company has worked in conjunction with the Fondazione Piemontese per la Ricerca sul Cancro and all of the proceeds from the friendly match against the Uruguay national team were donated to the Foundation. The gate receipts from the derby played between Juventus and Torino in December 2000 were donated to the victims of the floods which hit Piedmont and the Valle d’Aosta.

Management Report
SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS FIFA Regulations In a letter dated 27 June, 2001 the F.I.G.C. - LNP issued FIFA circular no. 759 of 31 May, 2001, summarising the principles of the agreement of 5 March, 2001 between the European Commission, FIFA and UEFA on the international transfers of football players. On 5 July, 2001 FIFA approved the regulations that put the above-mentioned principles into practice. The new FIFA regulations, which are not effective for contracts stipulated prior to 1 September, 2001, unless otherwise agreed between the parties, provides for introduction by the national Federations of a system of national transfers of football players in observance of the new FIFA principles. The new system governing international transfers regulates, among other things, the transfer of football players under the age of eighteen and the training of young football players, and provides for payment of a training compensation, to be shared between all clubs offering training to these football players. An agreement has also been made so that sports contracts must last a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 5 years. The new system governing international transfers also provides for a period of stability of sports contracts, from 3 to 2 years depending on the football player's age, allowing the player to back out of the contract for sporting just cause, to be established on a case-by-case basis, at the end of the football season. The unilateral breach of the contract, at the end of the period of stability, may only take place at the end of the football season. With the introduction of the principles of the agreement of 5 March, 2001, a stable environment will be created for the training and education of young players. This will enable the promotion of new young talents and will ensure that clubs investing in the training and education process are compensated for the activity performed. Furthermore, the new rules will guarantee contractual stability, which is very important for the fairness of national and international competitions. Transfer campaign for 2001/2002 The financial balance of the 2001/2002 transfer of players was negative by E 11.4 million, while the economic effect is positive, thanks to the sale of several football players in the First Team. The transfer campaign will close in January 2002 in accordance with sporting regulations. Season tickets The season ticket campaign for 2001/2002 is still underway and at the moment 30,977 season tickets have been sold, compared with 35,446 at the same time last season. Official and Technical Sponsors The official sponsor, Europa Tv S.p.A., has sublicensed the sponsorship rights granted by Juventus to Fastweb S.p.A., for the 2001/2002 season. In addition to the agreement with Europa TV S.p.A. as official sponsor of the Team for the Serie A Championship, the Company has signed an important sponsorship contract with TU Mobile S.p.A. for the UEFA Champions League and the Italian Cup. Lotto Italia S.p.A. will be the Juventus Technical Sponsor for the 2001/2002 season. Campi di Vinovo In July 2001, your Company purchased 96.6% of Campi di Vinovo S.p.A., owner of approximately
31
Reports and financial statements as at 30 June, 2001
MANAGEMENT REPORT 500,000 sq of land for the sum of 33.6 billion lire, approximately E 17.4 million. The development plan for the area in the towns of Vinovo and Nichelino, provides for the creation of the Juventus Sports Centre and related businesses in the entertainment, leisure and commercial sectors. The centre will benefit from the constant presence of the Team and will be characterised by the link with the Juventus brand name: this project will allow your Company to become the first authentic Italian "Leisure Group" in the world of football. The Juventus F.C. Sports Centre will provide training facilities for the Youth Sector and the First Team and will be composed of football pitches, gyms and technical facilities. Stadium Your Company feels that it is important to own the stadium in which the Team plays its home matches. For this reason, the Company and Local Authorities have been working towards the acquisition of the "Stadio delle Alpi" and the surrounding area, perhaps in partnership with Torino Calcio S.p.A. With this in mind, Juventus has developed a project for the renovation of the stadium in view of improving the use of the ground, with the creation of new stands and terraces, designating extra available space, of approximately 17,000 square metres, to the creation of café facilities and entertainment areas for supporters. The surrounding area will be dedicated to structures for use in the leisure and entertainment sector which will benefit the sporting activity of Juventus, and will cover approximately 17,000 square metres. Listing on the Stock Exchange On 19 July, 2001 the Juventus Board of Directors approved plans to list the company on the Italian Stock Exchange to be submitted at the Shareholders' Meeting. The listing operation will consist in a combined offering divided into a Public offering (OPVS) to the general public in Italy, and a Placement reserved for professional Italian investors and institutional foreign investors. The combined offering will regard new issue shares taken from a specific increase in capital and existing shares. Banca IMI has been appointed as "Global Co-ordinator" and Sponsor. Miscellaneous As far as the investigation by the Turin Judicial Authority regarding the possible improper use of medicines by Juventus football players is concerned, the Company's defence has presented extensive pharmacological and medical evidence to dispute accusations on every front. On the basis of this technical documentation the Preliminary Investigation Judge was asked to authorise a report to settle the controversy between the Juventus consultants and the Prosecution. Following opposition by the Prosecution, which presented a different interpretation of the legal procedure on the matter, the PI Judge raised a question of constitutional legitimacy of the normative indicated by the Prosecution, with the consequent transmission of the acts to the Constitutional Court. At the hearing on 20 February, 2001 the proposed exception was declared to be inadmissible inasmuch as the report requested was not urgent. Consequently the Prosecution called for the indictment of the CEO director and the company doctor, and the first hearing in the case before the monocratic court is set for 31 January, 2002.

Management Report
On 17 May, 2001 the footballer Edgar Davids was suspended on cautionary grounds from professional sporting activity, as part of an investigation by the sporting authorities for presumed use of unauthorised pharmaceutical substances. On 3 August, 2001 the CONI Antidoping Body requested the player's suspension from professional sporting activity for a period of 8 months, starting from 17 May, 2001 and a fine of Lit. 200 million. To date a hearing has yet to be set before the Disciplinary Commission of the FIGC. FUTURE OUTLOOK A positive result is forecast for the 2001/2002 financial year, considering the significant capital gains on the sale of several First Team football players. This forecast will, as usual, be conditioned by the current season.

Reports and financial statements as at 30 June, 2001
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 30 JUNE, 2001 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTENTS AND FORM OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Financial Statements that we are submitting for your approval, composed of the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Notes to the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the structure and contents indicated by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (Italian Football Federation) and the Commissione di Vigilanza per le Società di Calcio (Supervisory Commission for Italian Football Clubs), as per articles 2424, 2425 and 2426 of the Italian Civil Code. The prospectuses of the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement contain indications of the variations in the individual items; in the Notes to the Financial Statements comments are restricted to the main items. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are given in thousands of Euro. Since 1 July, 2000 Juventus, implementing prior to time the faculty provided for by Legislative Decree 213/1998 "Disposizioni per l'introduzione dell'Euro nell'ordinamento nazionale" (Directives for national introduction of the Euro), has adopted the Euro as its accounting currency, making the necessary accounting and procedure conversions, converting the share capital and redefining the nominal share value. The Juventus F.C. S.p.A. Financial Statements as at 30 June, 2001 are therefore written in Euro. To facilitate the comparison of data, the Juventus F.C. S.p.A. Financial Statements closed as at 30 June, 2000 have been converted into Euro using the fixed exchange rate of Lit. 1,936.27. The Appendices section, which is an integrated part of the same, includes prospectuses containing compulsory information provided for by the current regulations in force and that are considered useful to the clarity and complete nature of the Financial Statements.
EVALUATION CRITERIA, ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the regulations in force and in agreement with the Board of Statutory Auditors for those cases provided for by law, applying the same evaluation criteria and preparation methods as those used for the previous financial year; such evaluation criteria comply with that provided for by article 2426 of the Italian Civil Code. Furthermore, in preparing these financial statements no derogation has been made as per the fourth paragraph of article 2423 of the Italian Civil Code. In preparing the Financial Statements, the provisions of the second paragraph of article 2423 of the Italian Civil Code have been observed with regard to clarity and truthfulness, correct representation of the Company's financial position and the economic performance for the financial year. Considering the first paragraph of article 2423 ter of the Italian Civil Code and the particular activity of the Company, in addition to the regulations referred to earlier, the rules indicated by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio in the documents dated October 1993 and November 1995, and by the
40
Notes to the Financial Statements
Commissione di Vigilanza per le Società di Calcio, were also observed, enabling us to interpret the laws that set the general principles for the preparation of Financial Statements from a technical point of view. As per section 5 of article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, the important events which occurred after the end of the financial year in question are listed in the management report, to which reference must be made. The evaluation criteria adopted are analysed further on in this document, indicating the reasons for their adoption. INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Cost of players’ registration Intangible fixed assets related to the cost of players’ registration are entered at cost, inclusive of any incidental costs, and the amounts are net of amortisation as calculated on a straight-line basis in relation to the duration of the contracts stipulated with the individual football players. The original amortisation plan is extended following renewal (if applicable) of the contract. The above-mentioned players' contracts are entered in the Financial Statements on the date on which the contracts are ratified by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti (National League of Professionals) for national transfers, and on the date of the "transfer" issued by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio for international transfers. For football players registered as "giovani di serie" (youth football players), costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over 5 years. Other intangible fixed assets All other intangible fixed assets are entered at cost and, where provided for, with the approval of the Board of Statutory Auditors. The amounts are net of amortisation as calculated on a straight-line basis in relation to their remaining useful life. To be more precise, the following fixed assets are amortised according to the following criteria: - Start-up and organization costs: cost of share capital increase over 5 years; - Royalties for industrial patents and use of intellectual property: trademarks over 10 years; software over 3 years, "Juventus.com" dominion for the website and the "Immagini Juventus" (Juventus pictures) historical archives over 5 years; - Leasehold improvements to assets rented: for the duration of the rental contract. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Tangible fixed assets are entered at purchase cost inclusive of incidental costs; the cost is adjusted by the related depreciation accumulated. In accordance with art. 10 law no. 72 of 19 March, 1983 no monetary or financial revaluation was carried out. Depreciation entered in the Income Statement was calculated on a straight-line basis, reduced to 50% for assets purchased during the financial year, on the basis of rates considered to be representative of their estimated useful economic and technical life.
41
Reports and financial statements as at 30 June, 2001
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Purchases of assets with an individual value of less than E 516 were entered directly in the Income Statement. The annual depreciation rates used are shown in the table below:
Asset Buildings Light constructions Fire-prevention, heating and electrical systems Ordinary office machinery and furniture Sanitary equipment Sports equipment Special technical systems Telephone switchboard Electronic office equipment
Rate 3.0% 10.0% 10.0% 12.0% 12.5% 15.5% 19.0% 20.0% 20.0%
Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are entered in the Income Statement of the year in which they are sustained while those of an incremental nature are capitalised. INVESTMENTS Players’ sharing costs ex art. 102 bis N.O.I.F. These represent the value of the costs of 50% shareholdings in the football players’ contracts held by the companies who hold the players' registration. Shareholdings in such rights are entered at the cost sustained. Financial liabilities related to the disposal of players’ sharing costs, entered at nominal value, are entered under operating liabilities. Shareholdings in other companies Shareholdings are evaluated at cost (inclusive of incidental costs) determined with the LIFO method. If on the date of closure of the financial year the value of a shareholding is considerably inferior to the value of the purchase cost as defined previously, it is entered at this lesser value. Should the reasons for the adjustment cease to exist during subsequent financial years, the value of the shareholding is restored within the limit of the purchase cost. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES Receivables are entered at their estimated realizable value, by creation of an allowance for bad debts, while payables are entered at their nominal value.
42
Receivables and payables in foreign currency for countries outside the Euro monetary system are
Notes to the Financial Statements
entered on the basis of the exchange rates on the date in which the transactions were carried out. Any net losses on exchanges, deriving from the adaptation of receivables and payables in foreign currency to the average exchange rates for the month of June, are set aside in a special currency exchange risk fund. Should, after the date of the operation from which receivables and payables originate, termed operations be carried out in foreign currency to cover currency exchange risks, the difference between the exchange rate on the day of the operation and that on the day of negotiation is deducted from or added, as necessary, to the Income Statement. CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS These are valued at purchase cost (inclusive of incidental costs) determined with the LIFO method, or at their sale value if this is lower, as calculated according to market performance. Should the reasons for the adjustment cease to exist, the values are restored within the limit of the purchase cost. CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND Cash at bank and in hand is entered at nominal value. Cash at bank and in hand in foreign currency for Countries outside the Euro monetary system is aligned with the exchange rates at the end of the financial year. ACCRUED INCOME AND PREPAID EXPENSES These are calculated according to their economic relevance and period of reference in application of the principle of correlation of operating costs and incomes. OTHER PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES This item includes provisions set aside to cover charges and probable losses for which, at the end of the financial year, the amount or date of occurrence cannot be determined. The accruals reflect the highest possible estimate on the basis of the information available. EMPLOYEES’ SEVERANCE INDEMNITY This indemnity is created on the basis of sums matured by each individual employee on the date of the Financial Statements, in compliance with existing legislation. This liability is subject to annual revaluation, performed using special indices provided for by regulations. MEMORANDUM ACCOUNTS Commitments made, guarantees received and granted and third party assets held by the company and are entered at nominal value. Contracts with deferred execution are entered at purchase and sale cost. INCOME AND EXPENSES These are entered in the Financial Statements according to the principles of prudence and competence, indicating related accruals and deferrals.
43
Reports and financial statements as at 30 June, 2001
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE Premiums related to the achievement of sporting results and due to football players, trainers and managers, as with insurance payments for coverage of the same and premiums from sponsors are entered in the Income Statements of the year in question. Financial incomes and expenses are entered in the relevant Income Statements. These include capital gains and/or capital losses deriving from players’ sharing costs ex art. 102 bis N.O.I.F., on the basis of the date on which the contract is ratified by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti. Capital gains and capital losses deriving from the disposal of players’ registrations are classified as extraordinary incomes and expenses, in accordance with the accounting recommendations of the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio and are entered on the basis of the date on which the contracts are ratified by the Lega Nazionale Professionisti for national transfers, and on the date of the "transfer" issued by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio for international transfers. TAXES Income taxes are determined on the basis of the existing tax legislation. In the event of a temporary difference between the net profit and the taxable income for the calculation of IRPEG and IRAP, the temporarily deferred tax (asset or liability) is calculated taking into account the effective rate of taxation, rounded off to the unit, of the previous financial year. The calculation of deferred taxes (assets and liabilities) is computed every year. In particular, deferred taxes classed as assets are only entered, using the principle of prudence, if there is reasonable certainty of their future recovery. Taxes are not set aside for taxable funds or reserves for distribution should said distribution be improbable. Assets and liabilities in the form of deferred taxes are compensated and entered in the Balance Sheet among other receivables in the case of assets, and in the tax provisions in the case of liabilities.

We have checked them and found that they agree with the books, are written clearly and provide a truthful and fair representation of the Company’s financial situation and the economic result for the financial year. In the Supplementary Note, the Board of Directors supplies the information requested by law, as well as information considered to be useful in relation to the characteristics of the company and the sector in which it operates: the method used highlights the facts which gave rise to financial transactions, as well as their effect upon the liquidity and solvency of the Company; the Management Report illustrates the management of the Company during the financial year and the foreseeable evolution in the future, in the light of the elements of which we are aware and of those which can be rationally assumed, as well as other information expressly requested by art. 2428 of the Italian Civil Code. We also wish to communicate and confirm the following: -
Legal directives were observed with regard to the general principles and evaluation criteria used to prepare the financial statements and in particular to the application of principles of prudence, of the company’s continued operation and competence. We feel that the information supplied by the Board of Directors in the Supplementary Note is sufficient to justify the choices made regarding technical discretion, as acknowledged to the Directors by law.
-
The Asset and Liability Statement, the Profit and Loss Account and the Supplementary Note are, in our opinion, adequate and respect the structure and contents indicated by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (Italian Football Federation) and the Commissione di Vigilanza per le Società di Calcio (Supervisory Commission for Italian Football Clubs), in compliance with articles 2424, 2425 and 2426 of the Italian Civil Code.
-
The evaluation criteria applied, with which we agree and which have not been subject to any changes compared with those applied during the previous financial year, comply with said directive, there having been no occurrences or exceptional cases requiring application of the derogation provided for in art. 2423, paragraph 4 of the Italian Civil Code.
-
The reserve provided for in article 21 of the Company By laws was correctly used for technical and sportive training in the youth sector.
