Point 1) Criteria used in the analysis of the items of the accounts, in amending values and in the
conversion of values not originally expressed in local currency
The items which make up the accounts have been analysed according to the criteria laid out in the Civil Code.
All the amounts derive from the accounting entries.
The criteria used in the preparation of the accounts as at 31st December 2019 are not different from those
used for the preparation of the accounts of the previous year, especially with regards to continuity and
analysis of the principles.
The analysis of the items of the accounts has been carried out according to general principals of prudence
and pertinence with a view to the continuation of the activity, as well as having taken into consideration the
economical purpose of the assets and liabilities.
By applying the prudence principal the analysis of the individual items of the assets and liabilities has meant
that no compensation has been carried out between losses, which needed to be acknowledged, and profits
not to be acknowledged in that never actually made.
By applying the pertinence principal all operations and other events have been included in the accounting of
the year to which they apply. With regards to costs and proceeds relating to projects which do not end their
activities by the end of the accounting year, due to the difficulty in analysing their situation, these have been
“suspended” by entering accruals at the end of the year and moving them forward to the following year.
With specific regards to the analysis, here follows the criteria used on the more important items, according to
art. 2426 c.c.
As a result of the new text of the OIC 24 Accounting Standard, Advertising Expenditures are reclassified from
item BI2 to item BI1 for both the financial year 2019 and the previous for the purpose of homogeneity.

ASSETS
B. FIXED ASSETS
B. I. Intangible assets

intangible assets” and depreciated using the lower of the following: future use and rental contract.
Those assets with a considerably lower economical value than the cost at the end of the
accounting year, are depreciated to their economical value. If the reasons for said depreciation
are no longer applicable, the cost value is reinstated.
Amendments
The depreciation quotas entered in the Profit and Loss Account have been calculated according
to use, destination and economical and technical duration of the goods, on the basis of residual
use. The following quotas represent these criteria.
The Quotas applied for amortization of tangible assets used in Italy, are as follows:
Goods Quota %
Buildings 3%
Plants 20%
Equipment 20%
Furniture 10%
Office equipment 20%

projects which have not ended their activities by the end of the year.
