Industrial management confirms increased production above one hundred million Euro for the second consecutive year, with a 4.5% increase allowing us to confirm growth trends for the ending year, as already recorded in the previous financial years. Our portfolio reconfirms Your Company’s capacity to manage complex and multidisciplinary projects in the health care, trade, industrial and infrastructure sectors (through Ergon Consortium) in Italy and abroad by playing with the most important subjects operating in the relevant sectors in an increasingly competitive market. Following the trend already identified last year, the domestic market is still characterized by a reduced financial availability, hence the constant increase in the promotion of projects for wide-scope works to be implemented with private financial contributions (Project Financing or Building and Management Concessions), particularly in the infrastructure and health care sectors. The health care sector is the Company’s core business. While, on the one hand, new market trends are limiting the great opportunities available to a smaller number of competitors - in 2005, INSO confirmed its position among the few domestic companies (less than 10) capable of managing such kinds of projects in the health care sectors, on the other hand, such projects require a considerable commercial effort in terms of internal and external professional resources to be made available, and of costs/investments to be absorbed, as well as a financial commitment that goes far beyond the standard for companies of a similar size in the traditional building industry. Hence, the need for continuous efforts and an attitude of great determination to pursue a strategy of development in foreign markets and in the most technology-based sectors, for the purpose of improving our cash flows and profitability. JOB ORDER PORTFOLIO AND COMMERCIAL POLICY The net order portfolio as at 31.12.2005 was 506.9 million Euro. The year’s awards accounted for 166.9 million Euro, as shown in the table below. Such a significant picture is the result of the corporate strategy already defined in the 2006-2008 three-year plan, based on which most trade activities carried out during the year concerned project financing initiatives, both in the form of tenders for “Building and Management Concession” (art. 19.2 of Law 109/94) and as “Proposals put forward as potential sponsor” (art. 37 bis of Law 109/94). Under this framework, the 2 initiatives described below were positively concluded and were therefore considered in our order portfolio as at Dec. 31, 2005: Management of services 72,8 €/ml (44%) Hospitals 87,9 €/ml (52%) • The definitive contractualization of the Osimo Hospital, located in the province of Ancona (for an execution budget of €/ml 30, in addition to €/ml 135 for the management of services over 11 years). After approving the proposal submitted in December Others 0,8 €/ml Medical Equipment 1,8 €/ml Industrial & Commercial Buildings 2,5 €/ml (2%) Pharmaceutical & Plants 1 €/ml 2003 by CONSORZIO OSPEDALE DI OSIMO, led by INSO, the public tender for the second 2005 JOB ORDERS: 166.9 €/MIL. Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 13 “ MANAGEMENT’S REPORT phase defined by art. 37-bis of Law 109/94 had no participants, so the relevant concession contract was signed in October 2005. INSO’s portion amounts to €/ml 20.2 for designing and construction, and €/ml 28.5 for service management. • Within the framework of our participation in the program for the reorganization of the hospital network in the Italian region Lombardia, Your Company has been awarded the construction and management concession for the Vimercate Hospital, Milan (for a total execution budget of approximately €/ml 119, in addition to €/ml 327 for the management of services over 24 Mr. Antonio Aprile, General Manager of ASUR, and Mr. Fabrizio Pucciarelli President of Osimo Salute SpA, after signing the concession contract for the Osimo Hospital years). The proposal submitted in June 2005 by the group of companies led by INSO (40%) has been accepted by the awarding Authority Infrastrutture Lombarde Spa and the relevant concession contract was signed on March 8th, 2006. INSO’s portion of works amounts to €/ml 49 for Designing and Construction of the new hospital facility, and €/ml 44.3 for the management of services. As regards the rights already acquired on other initiatives in PFI, not yet listed in the order portfolio as at Dec. 31, 2005, we point out that: • the project for the “Prato-Signa motorway link”, for which Ergon (a 33% subsidiary controlled by INSO) had already been appointed as Sponsor, was positively concluded with the final award of the contract in March 2006; • the project financing for the “implementation of support action to sustain building and installation reorganization processes, upgrading of system networks, plants, tunnels and cogeneration of AZIENDA OSPEDALIERA DI CAREGGI” (€ 20 million execution budget, plus over € 130 million to manage services for 18 years) is still ongoing and waiting for the fulfilment of the ‘phase II’ public tender; INSO is taking part in this tender with a 15% share as principal in the Temporary Association of Companies (ATI) headed by Siram S.p.A., already appointed as Sponsor. During the year, Your Company has started 2 more initiatives which administrative awarding stages are still ongoing: • “Ospedale dei Castelli Romani” in Ariccia (Rome), (proposals put forward under Art. 37-bis of Law 109/94 - € 100 million investment and approximately € 277 million management) submitted by the ATI headed by INSO (with approximately 41%) in June 2005. At present, the procedure for the evaluation of the proposal has not yet started, as Rendering of the Vimercate Hospital 13 Bill 05 Inglese 14 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 14 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” the new regional council, which was created shortly after the submittal, is waiting to define an extension of the area made available for the new hospital in the town plan of the Municipality of Ariccia, and the entire planning is being delayed as the municipality has been placed under temporary receivership. • The new hospital facility called “Nuovo Polo Ospedaliero Unico di Thiene” (proposals put forward under Art. 37-bis of Law 109/94 - € 120 million investment and approximately € 430 million management) submitted by the ATI headed by INSO (with approximately 36%) in December 2005. This proposal is presently being evaluated from a technical point of view by the Authority that will appoint the relevant Sponsor within April 2006. To provide an exhaustive picture of the activities carried out by INSO in this sector, we point out that the concessions for the construction of “Ospedale di Alba Bra” and “Ospedale Niguarda (Milan)” have been definitively awarded to other associations of companies. The proposal submitted for the construction of the Hospital of Novara has become null for the unilateral cancellation of the tender procedure by the relevant Authority (the cancellation was probably due to a political and technical reorganization of the administration of Regione Piemonte). Finally, as regards the proposal for the construction of the Hospitals of Prato, Pistoia, Lucca and Massa (with a budget of over € 360 mln for construction and € 2,000 mln for service management), whereto INSO participated under the framework of the “Toscana Salute Consortium”, the State Council overturned the decision pronounced by the TAR (regional administrative court) and confirmed the choice of SIOR Consortium which implied a privilege for the competitor group. However, the phase II public tender has not yet been called and it is easy to foresee a further delay for this implementation. As resulting from the considerations above, out participation in this initiatives implies a great effort and expenditure of corporate resources, both in professional and economic/financial terms, and for the preparation of offers, while it seems to be appropriate to observe that many of these initiatives are eventually put off or cancelled for reasons that exclusively pertain the customers, which leads to a loss of corporate investment that could have been used for other projects. Conversely, Your Company has been awarded 2 contracts for the project/concession of hospitals (Vimercate and Osimo) over the 5 proposals put forward that have been finally assigned (Niguarda, Alba/Bra and Naples), with a 40% success that ranks INSO among the first few companies in Italy for number of similar contracts awarded, together with other two important domestic competitors with two awards each. We still pursue our trade activity even in the traditional public works sector, though with an activity mainly focused on the definition of additional contracts on job orders in progress, for an aggregate amount of over €/ML 9, which can be mostly connected with the hospitals of Empoli, Zakyntos, Leghorn and Cannizzaro (Catania). For the hospital and medical equipment sector, INSO has been awarded two significant job orders with important strategic and technological contents: • the construction of the Operating Theatres of the Cisanello Hospital of Pisa and annex areas for a total amount of €/ml 2.88; the operating theatres will be built in the new hospital construction, which works, assigned to Inso, are about to be completed, and will therefore allow for the total completion of this job order. • the supply of a RIS-PACS System for the Health Care companies of the Wide South-Eastern Area of Tuscany, where INSO was part of an ATI headed by Kodak and GE, and will specifically take care of supplying the hardware and furniture for an aggregate value of /ml 0.48. In the infrastructure sector, trade activities were continued to support the Ergon Consortium, which, in addition to the above-mentioned project for the Prato-Signa motorway link, successfully participated in the tender for the “Quadrilatero MARCHE UMBRIA SPA” for the maxi lot #2 for the works to complete the Perugia-Ancona segment, for a contract price of approximately € /ml 615 (where INSO took part for €/ml 50). On foreign markets, trade activities were continued with many works in the Mediterranean area, specifically with the following projects: • in Morocco, a first contract has been obtained for the supply of health care furniture & fittings for 5 hospitals of the Moroccan network, for an amount of €/ml 0.32; • in Syria, the Al Marah tender (for €/ml 6) is presently ongoing and a longer term tender is being followed in Teshreen; • in Libya, the contract for the supply of medical equipment to the hospital of Benghazi (€/ml 200) has been awarded to our competitor SIMED but was then suspended due to irregular procedures and the offers are probably going to be reconsidered or a new call for tenders is going to be organized; Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 15 “ MANAGEMENT’S REPORT • in Malta, with a consortium with the Austrian company AME, the Company took part in a call for tenders for the supply of the health care IT system for the island, which evaluation is still ongoing. In Greece, a nation where INSO has a traditional presence with a branch that has already completed several important hospitals, the health care market has remained still throughout 2005 due to a slowing down of investments after the Olympic games; a recovery is expected over 2006 and some small-medium calls for tenders have already been announced, while new PFI are being studied and may be expected to start over next year. As regards Latin America, many important trade actions have been started in the area and may give interesting results during the current year, in particular: • a program for the construction of five new public hospitals using the PPP (public-private partnership) formula is underway in Chile; • a technological renewal of the entire hospital park is being scheduled in Venezuela; • more initiatives are being studied in some Central America countries. Furthermore, interesting opportunities are appearing in the Persian Gulf area (Emirates and Saudi Arabia). For the year 2006, contracts for € 206.5 million are estimated to be awarded, which would consolidate our position in the health care sector through project financing, in infrastructures and in the Mediterranean and Latin America markets, while a longer term participation is taking shape in Eastern Europe. Consistently with the previous year’s predictions, we enhanced the trade sector: the foreign trade network has been reinforced by hiring a new dedicated Manager, while the capacity to prepare project financing proposals has been further developed by creating a dedicated team with external and internal experts. WORK IN PROGRESS The Company’s production amounts to 107 million (+ 4.3 compared to the pre- vious year). While the positive growth trend that characterized the years between 2000 and 2005 with a 227% production increase has been confirmed, the 2005 increase was below expectations due to the putting off of the job order for the supply of medical equipment for the Mater Dei Hospital of Malta, caused by an extension of the New Law Court in Florence 15 Bill 05 Inglese 16 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 16 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” building works program not under INSO’s control. For the future, we are confident that the growth trends shown will be further developed, even though we cannot neglect the fact that working with the public administration the volume of production is often influenced by the gap between public planning times and the times required for the real start of works in the yard. If we include the technical overturning of external consortia, production reached 139 million, as shown in the Income Statement, with a 17.8% increase compared to 2004. In spite of the considerations above, the volume of foreign production remains significant (20%).

Giuseppe” Hospital of Empoli, which works, started in July 2003, are one of the major production of the Company and the progress of works during 2005 allows us to confirm the identification of the total completion term as the summer 2006. Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 17 “ MANAGEMENT’S REPORT • The Hospital of Parma, where both the “Piastra” and “Ala A” lot works have been completed. • The Hospital of Leghorn, where works for the 3rd lot are continuing; in particular, during 2005, works have progressed to the completion of the New Emergency Dept. and a considerable push forward was given to the works in the other contracted Pavilions. • The Cisanello Hospital (Pisa), virtually completed for the part described in the initial contract which scope was the NPO New Hospital Pole (Nuovo Presidio Ospedaliero), and which final conclusion has been put off to the completion of other works contracted separately by the customer, such as the construction of the new technological plants. In this framework, Your Company aimed at and was awarded the contract for the construction of 18 operating theatres to be completed within next autumn 2006, in addition to a few additional internal and external works in the buildings of the NPO separately awarded and/or added to the main contract. At the beginning of 2005, the contract awarded in 2004 for the construction of the new Emergency Dept. adjacent to the NPO, for a value of /ml 18.4, mainly implemented by INSO (87.5%) was finalized; due to different causes connected to authorizations to be obtained, we could not start works in 2005, so this production will start in the first months the subsequent year to be concluded at the end of 2007. • The Careggi Hospital (Florence), where the building to be used as Functional Technical Area has been completed and is being operating already; in addition to that, plans have been prepared for the building of the socalled “Volano Sanitario”, which works will be started within spring 2006. • The Osimo Hospital (Ancona), where, after being awarded the contract, INSO started and almost finished the designing stage for the new hospital. • The Attica Hospital of Athens (Greece), a facility with 800 beds consigned in 2003, where the new works to transform the hospital from a “Local Health Care Facility” to a “University Clinic” have been completed; the Customer finally accepted the work by returning all the existing performance bonds given as guarantees (an important event that took place beyond the subsequent period). • The Sotiria Hospital of Athens (Greece), where works for the new operating block have been completed and the Customer finally accepted the work by returning all the existing performance bonds given as guarantees. • The Gennimatas Hospital of Athens (Greece), where works for the restoration of the Kofka Pavilion and construction of the new entrance for outpatient clinic departments have been completed and finally accepted by the Customer, who returned all the existing performance bonds given as guarantees. • the Hospital of Kavala (Greece), where, after replacing the INSO-THEMELIODOMI Consortium in July 2005, INSO accepted the direct task of the turn-key construction of the 374- bed hospital, thus reaching 95% of all the works scheduled for the erection of that facility and realizing a 5.5 million Euro production for the year. • the Hospital of Zakyntos (Greece), where, after submitting our proposals for improvements to the tender project, the Customer approved variations for a total amount of 3.7 million Euro and the excavation and foundation pole works were completed, thus realizing a 2.05 million Euro production for the year. INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL BUILDING Previous year’s production levels were confirmed for this sector in 2005, particularly as regards the presence in portfolio of some big job orders: • the new Law Court (Palazzo di Giustizia) of Florence, which works (consisting in the implementation of all installations and systems) continued at a significant speed and maintained a constant production rhythm in line with the times scheduled for the completion of the works within 2006. It is worthwhile mentioning the expressed intention of the Municipality of Florence to call for a tender for the second lot of works, which concomitance with the presence of still ongoing activities may represent a good opportunity not only to optimize economies of scale, but also to implement one of the most important works of the last few years. • Cantina Antinori of Cortona (Arezzo), one of the greatest wine cellars in Italy, where works continued up to the completion of the facilities and most of the internal finishing and systems. The entire work is due to be completed within the first six months of 2006. • Cantina Antinori of Ficulle (Terni), which works continued with the construction of most structures and which completion is estimated to be achieved by summer 2006. 17 Bill 05 Inglese 18 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 18 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” Mater Dei Hospital, Malta – Operating Theatre PHARMACEUTICAL FIELD AND SYSTEMS This sector, which represents a small but very important market, particularly for its high technological content, has included the following projects: • The completion of the New Kedrion Plant in Bolognana (Lucca): contract works have been completed, including additional works that became necessary during execution. The plasma treatment plant for the production of hemoderivatives has been opened to operations. • The finalization of the agreement for the “Tatoi National Blood Center” of Athens, with the Greek Ministry of Health for the recognition of the higher charges need for €/ml 2.06, consistently with claims forecasts shown in INSO’s previous years’ financial statements. This agreement led to resume process equipment testing and validation activities, as well as personnel training activities, which will be concluded before the end of the year. The Ministry of Health still has to make decisions about the activation of the plant, while the proposal we submitted jointly with Kedrion (the owner of the technology used for the erection of the plant) for the start-up and management of the plant over the next five years is still pending. MEDICAL EQUIPMENT As regards this sector, apart from the job order for the renewal of the techno- logical park of the Cannizzaro Hospital of Catania concluded during the year with a production of €/ml 4, the activity almost exclusively concerned foreign job orders, as appropriate tenders for INSO with turnkey packages or multivendors are not frequent in Italy. In 2005, activities were mainly focused on the management of the Mater Dei Hospital of Malta, where supplies were approved for 40 €/ml (about 65% items) and a total production of €/ml 27 was implemented, of which €/ml 10.3 in 2005. This happened in spite of the considerable slowing down of the works due to delays in the erection and system installation works not depending on INSO, which caused most equipment to remain stocked in the warehouse. The management of the job order for the supply of health care furniture & fittings for the 5 hospitals in Morocco was concluded in compliance with the budget, while in Syria, the job order for the supply of 15 sterilization stations for the plan concerning the erection of community hospitals underwent a huge extension of the price and the relevant production will be completed within 2006. As regards service activities, the maintenance and management of the medical equipment and plants of the Hospital of Cecina (Leghorn) continued, and are due to expire at the end of 2006. Finally, we should point out that again, during 2005, the majority of our engineering structure has supported the commercial activity in wide scope initiatives within the corporate strategies pursued, especially – just to mention a few – the Hospital of Benghazi in Libya and the tenders in Syria.

ERGON - ENGINEERING AND CONTRACTING SCARL: The stable Consortium ERGON incorporated between INSO (33%), Consorzio Etruria (34%) and COESTRA (33%), Florence, which objective is to implement great infrastructure works in line with the objectives established in the previous Management’s Report, in the month of February obtained a certification as General Contracting Party under Leg. Decree n° 9 of Jan. 10, 2005 in list I for the participation on calls for tenders up to amounts of € 350 million. In the course of 2005, the Company has increased its commercial activity and studied and took part in several calls for tenders, both individually and in partnership with local and/or national partners, in particular: • Tender for the construction of the underground line “C” for the town of Rome for an amount of € 2,510.9 million, unfortunately ranked second in the list. • “Quadrilatero MARCHE UMBRIA SPA” tender for the maxi lot n° 2 of completion works of the Perugia-Ancona segment, awarded at the beginning of 2006 to the temporary grouping of companies that includes ERGON (with a 25% holding), together with important partners such as the Stable OPERAE Consortium which reference corporation is “Baldassini–Tognozzi–Pontello Spa”, and “Toto Spa”, specialized in infrastructure contracts on the entire national territory. The total award amount is 615 /ml. In addition, we point out that after the closing of the financial year, our proposal for a Project Financing for the design, construction and management of the Prato-Signa motorway link (for /ml 187.0) has been awarded and the group where ERGON was a 25% partner with Società Autostrade S.p.A, SPEA, and Baldassini-Tognozzi had already been appointed as promoter. AGHITO TECNOLOGIE S.R.L: This company produces and installs operating theatres and partners at 50% INSO with Malvestio S.p.A. from Padua. In addition to the conclusion of many activities over the past years, in 2005 the company also cooperated in close synergy with INSO to pursue important objectives, including the emergency department and operating theatres for the Cisanello Hospital. ETRURIA INVESTIMENTI SPA: Our shareholding in EI, a company of the Consorzio Etruria Group devoted to the real estate sector, has allowed INSO to acquire its right to execute two important job orders within the greater frame- 19 Bill 05 Inglese 20 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 20 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” work of the above-mentioned “Antinori Operation”. The synergy implemented with Etruria Investimenti, together with the participation of the group leader and of another important partner, has allowed contracts to be finalized with INSO without requiring the direct involvement of INSO itself in the purchase of the real estate (“old cellar”) for € 14.5 ml + VAT; this option was a condition for the negotiation and the participation of group companies protected INSO’s business consistency, thus avoiding the typical financial burdening of the real estate sector that would have been its natural consequence. MMH MOBILE MODULAR HOSPITALS S.P.A., a company where INSO partnered with Swisel Italiana with a 50% holding and which mission is the construction and marketing of mobile hospitals, executed important projects in 2005 for: • The conclusion of the supply of a mobile emergency hospital for a total value of € 4.8 million to AFMAL (Associazione Fatebenefratelli Malati Lontani), one third of these works is still to be completed. • The rental of two mobile operating theatres for the Hospital of Bibbiena (Arezzo ASL), determined in concomitance with the restoration of the existing operating theatres and an opportunity offered to develop an important synergy with INSO wherever INSO plays a role for the functional readjustment of existing facilities without interrupting their operation. • The supply of 8 mobile units for the Mexican Government, for a total amount of 1.3 million Euro. This project, awarded in December 2005, is still to be executed. In addition, the companies “Osimo Salute Spa” and “Vimercate Salute Spa” were incorporated and respectively dedicated to the execution of works and the provision of services under the concession contracts signed with the relevant tenders awarded and already indicated in the “Commercial Portfolio” section. These companies have signed concession agreements on their own with their respective customers and will take care of finding the necessary financial resources to integrate public liquidity supported by the financial institutes that are accompanying them along the project since the offer stage. Hospital of Bibbiena (Arezzo) Mobile Operating Theatre Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 21 COMPANY ORGANIZATION MANAGEMENT’S REPORT “ The company’s employees as at 31.12.2005 were 131 (10 directors, 9 ma- nagerial staff, 80 clerical staff and 32 workers), of whom 34 units working in Greece, plus 63 external professionals (10 of whom in Greece), for a total of 194 units. On the whole, the personnel remained unchanged compared to 2004, consistently with the increase in production, although an increase in directors and managerial staff should be recorded to confirm the company’s policy to carry out more technologically advanced activities. This increase should also be seen in connection with the increasing commitment due to the award of new job orders, mainly with project financing solutions, that need a mul- 132 131 16 19 tidisciplinary and “project-orien- White Collars ted” approach, as well as with the extension of trade activities and Executives & Managerial Staff 82 80 Workers production to foreign markets, which require versatile personnel capable of operating autonomou- 34 32 2004 2005 sly.

Finally, activities aimed at deploying the new (ORACLE) integrated information system, already extended in 2004 to all central and peripheral corporate units (yards included), is today allowing us to manage almost all corporate activities “on line” (Internet), thus reaching 100% of personnel both in Italy and abroad. PROCUREMENT During 2005, supplier selection and qualification activities were increased for all the ca- tegories of goods of interest for the Company, always with the main objective to contain costs, while ensuring the high quality of the products and services procured. Procurement activities were therefore continued successfully by using electronic auction solutions. Furthermore, Your Company’s expertise has been the subject for a presentation at a conference held on the theme of quality in procurement at the Chamber of Commerce of Milan in the presence of all the major operators of the sector, a very prestigious event in the national market QUALITY AND RESEARCH QUALITY Your Company has always considered “Quality” as the best means to achieve full customer satisfaction and pursue the objectives defined by the Management. For this purpose, we have adopted a Quality Management System (QMS) that is continuously implemented and improved, and which has allowed us to obtain Lloyd’s Register’s Quality System Certification since 1999 in compliance with the 1994 edition of the UNI EN ISO 9001 standard. In addition, we obtained the 2000 edition of the UNI EN ISO 9001 certification (more widely known as Vision 2000) in December 2002, one year before the term set by the standards (December 14, 2003). In December 2005, Lloyd’s Register tested our QMS, as required every three years for certification renewal, with a positive result. The present scope of the certification is: Turnkey design and construction of civil and industrial Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 23 “ MANAGEMENT’S REPORT buildings. Turnkey engineering, supply, installation of turnkey electromedical equipment packages and relevant maintenance. Design, construction and maintenance of civil and industrial systems. Today, our corporate Quality Management System is a mature and tested tool to: • Contribute with even more targeted and effective means to the growth of our organization. • Allow us to appropriately define, as a Company mainly working with job orders, the activities carried out by the organization and measure with appropriate Quality Indicators (QIs) whether the goals set in terms of efficiency and effectiveness have been fulfilled. For the ongoing year, we are planning to maintain the current certification (two more maintenance audits will be carried out by Lloyd’s Register, one in May and one in November). RESEARCH The experimentation of the ASP model for the remote management of digital archives of ra- diological images conducted in the Pisa Hospital Facility with the cooperation of GE and the University of Pisa was concluded in August 2005. The main results were dealt with in a scientific communication at the recent European Congress of Radiology (Wien, 3-7 March 2006). In addition, INSO took part with qualified scientific presentations in some important events (Medmatica Conference in Vicenza, a national Radiology Conference held in Montecatini, a Master e-medicine course organized by the University of Florence). Within the framework of MMH – Mobile Modular Hospitals’ initiatives, a specific research was promoted for the definition of the technological and instrumental requirements of Mobile Hospital Units (Mohre Project – Mobile Hospitals Requirements and Equipment). This project, started in the second half of 2004, was concluded in May 2005 and allowed us to focus on the structural requirements and equipment required for product lines which, in the framework of the business core, should provide an innovative response to the market both in terms of quality and reaction times. These are very important requirements if we consider that most of our products are used in emergency situations. In addition to the traditional construction of the complete mobile hospital, usually implemented based on the customer’s specifications, our research was intended to define industrial targeted proposals for: • light fast-aid units consisting of only two self-sufficient shelters, for a contained basic price, fulfilling the requirements of volunteering organizations and/or Civil Protection Agencies; • mobile units to be used as “temporary replacement units” for restoration interventions or for temporary needs in traditional hospital facilities, which technical features should comply with regional accreditation standards, similarly to what happens with fixed hospital facilities. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT The net current capital reduction trend already observed in 2004 (3 €/mil, corresponding to approx. 8%) is confirmed by 2005 data, which show a further 2 €/mil reduction (approx. 6%), with an aggregate 5 €/mil containment over the 2-year period corresponding to about 13.5% (32 €/mil in 2005, 37 €/mil in 2003). This improvement, together with the 1 €/mil reduction recorded in the sundry receivables/payables balance and the payment of the share capital increase by the new shareholders, has contributed to reduce net financial indebtedness compared to 12 months earlier. As at 31.12.2005, a net financial indebtedness of 23 €/mil was recorded, with a considerable improvement compared to 31 €/mil at end 2004 (-8 €/mil, corresponding to 26%) and 40 €/mil at end 2003 (-17 €/mil, corresponding to 42.5%). The Financial Report with all the details of the factors determining variations is available amidst the financial statement documents. The reduction in the net financial indebtedness is partly (by about 45%) due to the share capital increase deliberated by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 29, 2005, which has led the share capital itself from 10.5 to 15 €/mil through a cash contribution of 3.6 €/mil and a consolidation of reserves by 0.9 €/mil; the share capital increase allowed us to be included among SICI Investment Fund’s members. At the end of 2005, the incidence of the indebtedness due beyond the year over the total net indebtedness was 23 Bill 05 Inglese 24 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 24 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” about 10%, having passed from 7% to 25% in the course of 2004. € 15.000.000 This was only a contingent reduction though, depending on the fact that the dates of redemption of € 10.500.000 still existing medium-term financing was getting closer. However, a medium/long-term financing contract was signed in December 2005 and disbursed during the first € 5.035.455 € 5.800.000 quarter 2006 with a pool of banks for an amount of 9 €/mil, with the purpose of permitting an equilibrated balance to the financial de- 2000 2001 2003 2005 mand of the Malta job order. The use of this financing instrument in- Share capital increase creased, already in the first quarter 2006, up to over 40% the incidence of the indebtedness due beyond the subsequent year over the total net indebtedness. As already pointed out in the previous report on the accounts, the fluctuations observed in the financial demand determined by the cyclic trends of job orders suggest that a constant bank credit development policy has been pursued in order to fulfill the peaks of demand that inevitably characterize the sector where the Company operates. As a consequence, a significant increase in available bank credit was shown in 2005. The Finance area is planning to further improve the types of financing over 2006 in favour of the medium term; this would, on the one hand, give a more equilibrated composition to the financial structure, but on the other hand, it would support Your Company in developing the health care building market, which is increasingly using project financing solutions. These initiatives, once awarded, determine a long-term financial demand necessary to cover the equity of the Special Purpose Vehicles established for the purpose. As a matter of fact, due to the scarce resources available, public bodies have mostly shifted their focus onto project financing operations in order to transfer the financial task to private entities, general contractors or promoters, who are then called to lock up their capitals in long or even very long term operations. Obviously, this trend will use increasingly targeted and specialized financial instruments capable of supporting technically valuable companies not only for the debt capital of the project consortium companies involved, but also for the venture capital. In this segment, the “credit market” in Italy is starting to take some timid step forward, even though the road to walk is still a long one. The trend of claims, which usually requires long-term capital locking up, led to an increase in values in 2005 for approx. 2.4 €/mil, as a net result of new records (5.1 €/mil) and positive solutions of some disputes (2.7 €/mil), thus confirming the validity of previous years’ forecasts. Claims trends did not produce any significant financial effect. The summary of corporate financial activities over the last year, also intended as a focus by all the company’s departments onto the financial effects of commercial transactions, is eventually inferred from the reduction in the “Net financial charges/production” ratio, which passed from 1.8% in 2004 to 1% in 2005, as a result of a mix of not easily repeatable events. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES Your Company has some financial risks specifically linked to its operations, the most significant of which are explained below: Price risk: related to the variations in the cost of raw materials and manpower, normally immunized by adding special price revision and adjustment clauses to contracts. Currency risk: the Company operates internationally, therefore foreign currency transactions are common. Exchange rate trends affect the value of the contracts received and operating costs assessed in the foreign currency. Your Company uses hedge financial instruments, such as: forward, currency forward purchase and sale, and Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 25 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT “ domestic currency Swaps, in order to minimize the risk related to the exchange rate fluctuation. Our exchange rate risk management policy is based on an industrial and non-speculative logic, aimed at limiting risks within the borders of a careful evaluation of all foreign currency records. Country risk: this is faced, after a very careful evaluation of the customer and product, by using insurance instruments or more appropriate types of payment available on the market. Liquidity risk: the continuous work carried out by the Company in order to create a sufficient volume of credit lines to face contingent unfavourable cash flow periods allows us to evaluate this risk as one of no particular significance for Your Company. As regards all the above and the actions implemented by the Company, we can state that no significant exposure exists in connection with these types of risk. SUMMARY OF ECONOMICAL DATA Along with the statements envisaged by law (Profit and Loss Ac- count/Income Statement and Notes), in order to represent the economic phenomena in a more significant form, we believe that it would be useful to reclassify the profit and loss account, as done in previous years, on the basis of analytical accounting criteria. This reclassification is suitable to provide the readers with a more targeted and substantial picture of our ordinary operations, by removing the typical effects of the sector that sometimes arise as a consequence of the presence of consortia, as, in these cases, statutory account regulations require the disclosure of gross values related to credit lines and consortium invoicing (which difference is clearly shown in the total operating income reclassified below with respect to the EEC presentation). Please, note that the lower EBITDA compared to forecasts and to the previous year is mainly due to the reduction over time of production in the electromedical equipment job order for the new hospital of Malta, caused by Value of Production Direct costs of Production BALANCE 2000 BALANCE 2001 BALANCE 2002 BALANCE 2003 47.108 100,0% 80.715 100,0% 85.416 100,0% 91.149 100,0% BALANCE 2004 BALANCE 2005 102.578 100,0% 107.032 100,0% (40.349) 85,7% (70.469) 87,3% (73.445) 86,0% (77.228) 84,7% (87.575) 85,4% (92.900) 86,8% 6.759 14,3% 10.246 12,7% 11.971 14,0% 13.921 15,3% 15.003 14,6% 14.132 13,2% Cost of labour (3.518) 7,5% (4.557) 5,6% (5.808) 6,8% (7.239) 7,9% (6.864) 6,7% (6.659) 6,2% General indirect costs (1.383) 2,9% (2.297) 2,8% (2.391) 2,8% (2.788) 3,1% (3.141) 3,1% (3.275) 3,1% 1.858 3,9% 3.392 4,2% 3.772 4,4% 3.894 4,3% 4.998 4,9% 4.198 3,9% Depreciations (159) 0,3% (550) 0,7% (460) 0,5% (470) 0,5% (443) 0,4% (421) 0,4% Accruals (449) 1,0% (112) 0,1% (1.224) 1,4% (528) 0,6% (494) 0,5% (830) 0,8% EBIT 1.250 2,7% 2.729 3,4% 2.088 2,4% 2.896 3,2% 4.061 4,0% 2.947 2,8% Net financial expenses and services (803) 1,7% (745) 0,9% (711) 0,8% (1.111) 1,2% (1.835) 1,8% (1.061) 1,0% 447 0,9% 1.984 2,5% 1.377 1,6% 1.785 2,0% 2.226 2,2% 1.886 1,8% (216) 0,5% (232) 0,3% 378 0,4% (796) 0,9% 185 0,2% 6 0,0% Gross Profit 231 0,5% 1.752 2,2% 1.755 2,1% 989 1,1% 2.411 2,4% 1.891 1,8% Income tax 40 0,1% (1.025) 1,3% (622) 0,7% (769) 0,8% (1.402) 1,4% (1.185) 1,1% Net profit 271 0,6% 727 0,9% 1.133 1,3% 219 0,2% 1.009 1,0% 706 0,7% Contribution margin EBITDA Operating result Net extraordinary income /expenses 25 Bill 05 Inglese 26 8-02-2007 8:10 Pagina 26 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ” reasons not under Your Company's responsibility. The delay in the hospital building works caused by another contractor prevented the customer, FMS, from making the rooms available for INSO to proceed with the scheduled installation works. We also point out that the operating result has absorbed approximately € 1 million charges sustained for the preparation of offers for calls for tenders then awarded to others or still to be awarded; this reflects, on the one hand, the considerable commercial effort demanded by the new types of competitions and, on the other hand, the caution used in evaluating costs as at Dec. 31 in the absence of any certainty of award.

It has been prepared based on the provisions contained in the Italian Civil Code, supplemented by the accounting principles established by the National Council of Chartered Accountants. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Profit and Loss Account have been prepared by taking into consideration the changes introduced by the reform of the law regulating joint-stock companies with Legislative Decree n° 6 of 17 January 2003. For uniformity purposes, as set forth by Art. 2423-ter of the Civil Code, the corresponding items of the previous periods have also been reclassified; conversely, where this operation was not possible, the information required is provided in these Notes. In compliance with art. 2423 bis of the Civil Code, the following principles were observed in drawing up the balance sheet: • the items have been evaluated according to caution principles and with the perspective of continuing operations, as well as taking into account the economic function of the assets and liabilities considered; • only those results achieved at year-end closing date have been reported; • income and expenses have been booked and attributed on an accrual basis, irrespective of actual collection and payment dates; • risks and losses have been entered on an accrual basis, even if they were recognised after the year-end closing date; • heterogeneous items included under single headings were subject to individual evaluation; • the evaluation criteria were not changed compared to those used for the previous year. No exceptional events occurred during the year necessitating application of the regulations set out in art. 2423, sub-section 4, of the civil code providing for recourse to waivers. The balance sheet is drawn up in Euro currency. The company is not required to draw up a Consolidated Balance Sheet pursuant to art. 27 sub-sections 3 and 4 of Legislative Decree 127/91 since this is drawn up by the controlling company. EVALUATION CRITERIA The evaluation criteria adopted comply with the provisions in art. 2426 of the civil code and have been integrated, where not specifically provided by law, with the accounting principles laid down by the CNDC/CNR professional organizations. The most significant evaluation criteria adopted, in agreement with the Board of Auditors for those cases required by law, are as follows: INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Intangible assets were booked at their purchase cost, inclusive of any di- rectly attributable accessory charges. Amortisation, calculated by the straight-line method, based on the criterion of residual possibility of use of the asset to which it refers, is deducted directly from specific items. Amortization allowances were entered in the income statement under the item “Amortization of intangible fixed assets,” and set against relative items in the assets. The period of amortization is indicated in the comment to the items entered in the assets. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Tangible fixed assets are entered at purchase or production cost, including any directly attributable additional charges (transport, hire, customs, insurances, etc.), increased by the revaluation calculated in compliance with monetary revaluation laws. Amortisation, calculated by the straight-line method, based on the criterion of residual possibility of use of the asset to which it refers, is deducted directly from specific items. Depreciation allowances were entered in the income statement under the item “Depreciation of intangible fixed assets,” and set against relative items in the assets. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs were charged directly to the income statement in the year in which they Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:11 Pagina 37 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS “ occurred while extraordinary costs of incremental nature were posted in the assets and amortized in relation to the residual possibility of use of the assets concerned. The period of amortization is indicated in the comment to the items entered in the assets. Both tangible and intangible fixed assets were written down in the presence of durable value impairment. Subsequently, should this impairment cease to exist, they will be written up for an amount not greater than the value they would have had with continued depreciation. FINANCIAL FIXED ASSETS, RECEIVABLES FROM SUBSIDIARIES, ASSOCIATES AND OTHER COMPANIES Financial fixed assets comprise shareholdings and receivables from subsidiaries, associates and other companies. Shareholdings are entered at purchase cost and are inclusive of directly allocable accessory costs adjusted to account for durable losses of value, determined by referring to the equity of the associated companies, appearing in the last balance sheet available at the time of drawing up this financial statement. Adjustments are entered as write-downs in the income statement. In the year in which the reasons for the write-downs cease to exist, the shareholdings are revalued and adjustments are entered in the income statement as a revaluation. INVENTORIES The following criteria were adopted in the evaluation of inventories: • raw and ancillary materials, consumables and goods for re-sale were recorded at the lesser between their purchase or production cost and their market value (the specific purchase cost is the cost determinant). • materials in transit and materials with third parties, not yet made available to the client, are entered at actual purchase cost; • multi-annual job orders in progress, destined to continue for several years, are entered on the basis of agreed contracted payments, determined by applying the cost-to-cost method or the physical measurement method, depending on the specific job order. In determining job orders in progress, account is also taken, for the part for which collection of payment can reasonably be expected, of claims accrued for: • higher charges for work processes which were unforeseen but necessary to execute the order; • non-recording or erroneous recording (at the work site) of contractually planned work; • higher charges for events falling within the client’s sphere of responsibility; • higher charges due to client behaviours not complying with contractual plans. These elements are taken into account in the evaluation of job order costs. Requests for interest on delayed payments do not come under the heading of claims and are treated separately under the “Due from Clients” heading. RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES Receivable and payable items are entered in the balance sheet at face value. The value of receivables has been reduced to the presumed value of realization with adjustments of the face value in a dedicated fund for doubtful receivables. VALUES EXPRESSED IN FOREIGN CURRENCY Values expressed in a currency differing from the Eu- ro, if any, except for those currency fixed assets that are booked at cost considering the purchase exchange rate or the lower exchange rate at year-end if the reduction is deemed to be durable, are analytically adjusted to the exchange rate as at Dec. 31, 2005, with direct allocation of the effects of the adjustment to the Income Statement. The net profit, if any, is set aside in a special non-distributable reserve until realization. HEDGING Exchange: hedging currency exchange rate risk operations were booked in compliance with the applicable accounting principles, requiring the hedging exchange rate difference to be debited/credited in the 37 Bill 05 Inglese 38 8-02-2007 8:11 Pagina 38 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ” income statement on a pro-rata temporis basis. The exchange rate difference regarding the renegotiation of contracts was credited/debited to the Income Statement upon reception of the goods whose purchase was the object of the hedge contracts. Interests: as regards Interest Rate Swaps (hereinafter IRS), the Company booked the exchange rate difference as at the balance sheet date on an pro-rata temporis basis. IRS not defined as hedging instruments, they were booked at fair value as at balance sheet date by crediting/debiting the respective revenue/charge. LIQUID ASSETS Liquid assets were entered at face value. ACCRUALS AND DEFERRALS Since accruals and deferrals relate to two or more successive years, they are determined on a strict accrual basis. PROVISION FOR RISKS AND CHARGES The provisions for liabilities and charges cover certain or pro- bable liabilities or charges, for which the amount or actual date of occurrence could not be determined at the close of the fiscal year. These provisions were valued on the basis of economic competence, according to a reasonable estimate of the charge. The criterion used to set aside the provision for contractual risks is based on the average utilizations made compared to work in progress over the last three accounting periods. The ratio is therefore applied to work in progress at year end to determine the amount of the provision necessary to face future risks. EMPLOYEES’ TERMINATION LEAVING INDEMNITIES This item reflects the indemnity accrued by sin- gle employees at the close of the fiscal year, in accordance with the law and labour contracts in force at that date. INCOME TAX Income tax was determined on the basis of a calculation of taxable income and the relative debt is entered in “Tax debts”. Advance tax paid in excess during the year was entered under “Sundry Debtors” in the assets. In compliance with the Italian Civil Code and the Accounting Principle n° 25 issued by CNDCR (National Council of Chartered Accountants), the deferred or anticipated taxes posted were calculated on the total amount of all temporary differences between the value of an asset or liability, according to statutory criteria, and the value given to that asset or liability for tax purposes. Taxes that are deferred or paid in advance are calculated on the basis of the taxation rates in force at the time the above-mentioned temporary differences are transferred, making separate calculations for IRES and IRAP. Taxes paid in advance are recorded when it is considered that there is a reasonable likelihood of their future recovery and the transfer times of their relative benefits are foreseeable. Deferred taxes are entered only when it cannot be demonstrated that future payment is unlikely. For the purposes of drawing up this balance sheet, on the above assumptions, deferred and advance paid taxes have been allocated for all temporary differences between the value of an asset or liability, in accordance with civil and fiscal criteria. REVENUES, INCOME, COSTS AND CHARGES Revenues and costs are charged to the income statement on an accrual basis, net of returns, discounts, allowances and premiums, applying the general criteria of prudence. DIVIDENDS They are booked in the year when they were accrued.

The Company booked financial leasings by debiting the individual rental amounts to the Income Statement, in compliance with the accounting principle consistent with the current applicable legislative interpretation (net worth method). The method prescribed by International Accounting Principle no. 17 to account for finance leases would have entailed entering in the balance sheet the leased goods, interest on the financed capital, depreciation of the leased asset in relation to the residual possibility of use of the specific asset, and the residual debt. The effects of this recalculation would lead to an increase in the net worth for 682,487 thousand Euro (428,261 after taxation) and to a lower operating result for 58,185 thousand Euro (35,540 after taxation).

Due from customers (item C II 1) The increase essentially reflects the registration of invoices to be issued in connection with the following factors: • testing of two job orders in Greece, with their consequent allocation among receivables for invoices to be issued for € 9,194,270 (beyond the subsequent period) previously posted among job orders in progress; • definition, after year closing, of authorizations to invoicing falling under 2005 accounts. For clarity purposes, we point out that this item includes earmarking for invoices to be issued for € 9,194,270 regarding claims that had been previously posted among “job orders in progress”. In this regard, we highlight that the legal procedure aimed at recovering the amounts posted in the accounts has been started some time ago and, in view of its presumable cost, a specific amount has been set aside in a provision for risks. Please, see item “Provision for risks and liabilities” under Liabilities. Trade receivables posted among current assets have been posted net of both their provision for bad debt and provision for interest on arrears. The reserve for bad debts was determined by analyzing the specific posts by adopting a cautious appraisal criterion with the purpose of adjusting the value of receivables with their presumable collection value. In the course of 2005, after collecting a credit that had been totally written down, we used the reserve for the part not collected (€ 279,487) and decreased the amount in excess (€ 130,113). The remaining part of utilization (€ 9,063) is connected to settlement procedures opened in 2005 against insolvent customers, that had already been previously written down. For receivables of a contentious nature the same criteria adopted for previous years was applied, since they are still considered collectable, not having been subjected to forfeiture, prescription or similar limitations. The provision for interest on arrears has been posted as a contra-entry to invoices to be issued (of which € 2,333,300 in Greece) for some judicial positions. The period’s utilizations are connected with receivables for interest on arrears that have become certain during the period considered. The provision wholly covers receivables for interest on arrears entered in the balance sheet for which collection is unlikely.

By way of information, we point out that the net receivables/payables balance with subsidiaries is an amount of payables for € 4,801,379.

(Ospem) for works for the construction of the new hospital of Empoli. Still regarding Ospem s.c.r.l, we also point out that during 2005 Inso acted both as agent for the ATI members and as the company awarded the works by the Consortium, therefore it offset the accounts receivable existing with the Consortium (for € 10.8 million) with accounts payable to the same entity for an equal amount. The gross amount resulting from the balance of receivables from associated companies would have been higher by € 10,855,490. • reversal of revenues connected with the construction of roads in Malta in favour of Ergon S.c.a.r.l.; • sales of assets to H.B.T. S.c.a.r.l.; • two job orders for the construction of mobile hospitals in favour of M.M.H. S.p.A.; • other minor amounts in favour of other companies. By way of information, we point out that the net balance between our associated companies’ payables and receivables results in total receivables for € 4,458,828. Receivables from parent companies (Item C II 4) These are trade receivables from the parent company Con- sorzio Etruria Scrl; the posting decreased during the period considered. Deferments were granted against payment. By way of information, we point out that the net receivables/payables balance with the parent company is an amount of receivables for € 8,228,380. Tax credits (item C II 4-bis) They comprise: • IRPEG/IRES credit waiting for reimbursement; it pertains to the credit shown in the 1999 income statement and previous years, whose refund has been requested, inclusive of interest for € 266,025. At the beginning of 2006, a request for refund has been filed with the competent Inland Revenue Agency in order to accelerate collection; • Value Added Tax (VAT) credit: slightly reduced compared to the previous year; • IRES credit: referred to the 2005 income statement (concerning the 2004 accounting period); • IRAP credit: regarding payments on account made during the year, net of the period’s taxation; • receivables from the Greek Inland Revenue, consisting of foreign income tax advance payments accrued over the last few years, exceeding the period’s fiscal load, and Value Added Tax. Defferred tax assets (item C II 4-ter) These have been assessed in compliance with provisions in force and in accordance with Accounting Principle n° 25 CNDCeR, and account for the temporary difference receivable regarding negative income components, whose deductibility is put off to future years. The increase and reabsorption of this item during the year is shown in the enclosed Table 9. Receivables from others (Item C II 5) • Other receivables: this item mainly includes an account receivable for a guarantee deposit of € 1,741,640, which has been reduced during the period considered according to the progress of works. Considering that the job order is expected to be completed before the end of 2006, its collection is estimated to occur within the subsequent year. The other items include advance payments to suppliers for € 297,857; a receivable from employees for € 59,713, and other minor credits.

Provisions set aside for the period refer to the potential charge connected to the legal proceeding started against a Greek contractor for the settlement of our request for higher charges and variations. For the merits, see the comments to the “Receivables from customers” item. Utilizations regard a case included in previous provisions. • Provision for personnel related liabilities: this provision was utilized for € 71,956 to cover bonuses paid to employees during 2005 for the year 2004, decreased for the excess portion of the remaining amount due and replenished for € 75,000 based on an estimate of bonuses due under the labour contract for the year 2005. • Provision for loss of value of contracts this fund has been used during the year for € 253.656 to breast the higher costs recorded on completion of various job orders and was replenished for € 219.310. The criterion used for replenishment is based on the average utilizations made compared to work in progress over the last three accounting periods. The ratio is therefore applied to work in progress at year end to determine the amount of the provision necessary to face future risks. The fund has been adjusted accordingly.

Due to banks (Item D 4) This item includes the loans granted by banks or factoring companies; their sub- stantial decrease for the year is due to positive corporate cash flow trends. As at Dec. 31, 2005, short-term net borrowing amounted to 20,414 thousand Euro, reflecting flows expressed in the financial statement enclosed hereto (under Annex 7). A list of debts secured by collateral on corporate assets recorded in the accounts as at Dec. 31, 2005: • remaining loan for Euro 892.374 secured by a lien on equity interests, of which 305.563 due beyond the subsequent year; • loan for Euro 837.212 (first tranche delivered on a total of Euro 1,450,000) secured by a real-estate mortgage, totally collectable beyond the subsequent year. There are still debts for Euro 837,212, due beyond five years. Payments on account (Item D 6) This item comprises the amounts of non-final invoices issued to clients for job orders in progress as at Dec. 31, 2005, net of payments on account that have become final payments with the completion or final testing of the works carried out, booked among revenues for € 66,811,281. Due to suppliers (Item D 7) This item covers residual payables to suppliers for sales of goods and services as well as invoices received and to be received. The increase in this value is due to both an increase in production and to the definition of 2005 values after the closing of the accounts. Payables to suppliers expressed in a currency different from the Euro have been entered as required by Art. 2427, par. 6, C.C. We inform Shareholders that the Company insured the currency exchange operations performed for purchase contracts in dollars for an amount of USD 9.8 million, of which USD 4.6 million remained as at Dec. 31, 2005. The book-keeping criterion used for this operation is consistent with accounting principles, and the invoices received and unpaid as at Dec. 31, 2005 were adjusted to the year-end exchange rate. In this regard, see the information paper prepared as required by art. 2427 bis of C.C. dealt with under point C) of the Income Statement in these Notes. Due to subsidiary companies (Item D 9) These refer to amounts due to subsidiaries Consorzio Inso Verdot, Palagiustizia and Consorzio Inso Themeliodomi for a reversal of costs on the parent company and towards Inso Malta Ltd for services rendered in connection with the Malta job order. As reported earlier under receivables from subsidiaries, the value of debts, net of credits, results in total debts of 4,801,379 Euros. Due to associated companies (Item D 10) They essentially refer to payables to Ergon S.c.a.r.l and Società Consortile Ospedale di Empoli a.r.l. for cost reversal. As indicated under the item “Receivables from associated companies”, the value of payables, net of receivables, is € 4,458,828. Due to parent companies (Item D 11) This amount largely refers to the residual amount payable for invoi- ces received and to be received (almost the entire value) in connection with services rendered. As indicated under the item “Receivables from parent companies”, the value of payables, net of receivables, is € 8,228,380. Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:11 Pagina 59 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS “ Due taxes (Item D 12) The following is a break-down of this item: Deferred VAT: this represents the amount due for Valued Added Tax on invoices issued to public bodies for which the VAT debt is deferred. This amount is set against the VAT credit recorded under item “Tax credits”. Withholding taxes on income from self-employed and employed work: these refer to the amount withheld and to be paid in January 2006. Due to welfare and social security agencies (Item D 13) In essence, these are payables to welfare and so- cial security agencies which have accrued for employees’ labour contracts and refer both to current and deferred remuneration in the form of accrued vacation entitlements, paid leave, summer bonuses, etc. Other payables (Item D 14) These also include payables accrued for employees’ labour contracts for cur- rent (wages and salaries to be paid in January) and deferred remuneration (accrued holiday, leaves, summer bonuses, etc.) and reimbursement of expenses. Other payables include guarantee deposits for Euro 38,700 and a payable to the Cometa Pension fund for Euro 5,083 to ensure its members a supplementary pension scheme in addition to the compulsory state pension scheme.

For greater clarity, we give an indication of guarantees currently in effect, net of counter-guarantees which generate a duplication. Counter-guarantees (as, for example, in the case of guarantees issued by Greek banks in favour of Inso, which are subject to the issue of a guarantee by an Italian bank, and also in the case of insurance counter-guarantees for guarantees that existed before the entry of the current Holding, still endorsed by the company’s former sole shareholder, Nuovo Pignone), if added to guarantees in effect, without further specification, would alter the Memorandum Accounts by duplicating and even triplicating significant amounts. For completeness purposes, we point out that counter-guarantees for Euro 20,300,799.50 were existing as at Dec. 31, 2005. We point out that, during the first few months of 2006, reductions were made to signed contract commitments for over 10 million Euro. This reduction led to a corresponding reduction in the counter-guarantees issued by banks and insurance companies. In compliance with the provisions set forth by art. 2427 of the Civil Code, suretyships issues in favour of subsidiaries amount to 1,878,601 (Consorzio Inso spa Verdot S.a). Other guarantees include the personal direct suretyship issued for Palagiustizia Scarl for € 1,291,142. Import documentary credits refer to letters of credit issued to suppliers for an important foreign job order. Commitments: Leasing – this item is reduced, due to residual rent payments made during 2005. No significant new contracts were signed in 2005. Insurance policies: they reflect the instalments still due for CAR and subsequent policies. Currency forward purchase commitments refer to SWAP operations against purchase and sale contracts in foreign currency; they were reduced after the closing of operations connected with the settlement of trade operations. Other commitments refer to forward commitments on exchange rate hedging operations (IRS and Cap) and were reduced after the operations’ expiry. Others Real estate mortgage: they refer to the Massarosa real estate operation. Lien: A lien exists on Nodalis S.p.A.’s shares provided as a guarantee for the loan obtained for its acquisition. The value as at Dec. 31, 2005 has been set to zero since the shares have been completely written down in the period.

This duplication, for the year considered, was € 31,981,725; therefore, to ensure clarity of disclosure, we have deemed it appropriate to summarise the production value net of said effect as follows: balance sheet data duplication effect adjusted value 66.800.544 48.711.563 0 25.913.201 0 7.905.491 0 24.076.234 66.800.544 40.806.072 0 1.836.967 141.425.308 31.981.725 109.443.583 A 1) Revenues from sales and services A 3) Variation in job orders in progress A 4) Increases for internal work capitalised on fixed assets A 5) Other revenues and income Total adjusted value of production The subdivision by geographical area, also including consortium relations and Italian consortia, is: • ITALY: € 118,919,367 adjusted to € 87,806,094 (see Table above) • GREECE: € 9,989,244 adjusted to € 9,120,792 (see Table above) • MALTA: € 12,210,747 • MAROCCO: € 305,950 For more in-depth analysis of this category of activities, please see the Management’s Report. Bill 05 Inglese 8-02-2007 8:11 Pagina 63 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS “ Income from sales and services (A 1) This heading covers: • Income from sale of goods (mainly sale of electromedical equipment), and services rendered on an annual basis (i.e. maintenance of hospital equipment); • Income from completed job orders pertaining to multi-annual jobs previously included in job orders in progress; Many jobs were concluded during the year considered for an aggregate value of Euro 66,811,281. • Other minor non significant income. Changes in work in progress on order (Item A 3) These reflect the share of works carried out during the year considered, for multi-year job orders still ongoing as at 31.12.05. The decrease shown compared to the previous year reflects the passage to the revenues item of many job orders that were previously recorded in this item. Increases in non current assets due to internal work (Item A 4) Transfer to immovables: Not recorded du- ring the year. Other revenue and income (Item A 5) The remaining values, net of the duplication effect mentioned abo- ve, were determined by: • Personnel commanded to group companies; • Ordinary contingent assets; • Ordinary capital gains: these relate to divestment of machinery used in manufacturing processes; • Sundry revenues and income: mainly referring to hiring of equipment, re-debiting of staff benefits, miscellaneous services, etc. B) PRODUCTION COSTS As already indicated in the comments to the production value item, the increase in production costs compared to the previous year is affected by the “duplication effect” of the values connected with Temporary Associations of Companies, Consortia and Consortium entities. This amount – Euro 31,981,725 amplifies the value of costs for services. In any case, the increase net of this effect is 20% and is correlated to the increase in the assets.

This cost also includes the “one-off” contract holiday portion for the 2006 renewal of the CCNL (national labour agreement). The item refers to wages and salaries paid to head-office staff, staff seconded to the Greek branch and staff employed by the latter. By way of information, the total cost of Athens head-office was € 1,103,937 (for wages, salaries and contributions, etc.) as against € 1,200,855 for the previous period (this value also includes costs for personnel sent abroad for the amounts paid locally). INAIL contributions have been set aside on an accrual basis, in compliance with the 2005 self-liquidation method presented in 2006. The 3.63% decrease in the cost of personnel is confirmed. This decrease is partly due to the termination of some labour contracts with technical staff and workers who worked at Greek job orders and partly due to the increasing use of so-called “atypical” labour contracts, whose charges are shown among the costs for services.

The above mentioned auditing activity has been implemented during 6 Board meetings, individual actions and by attending 8 Board of Directors meetings. During our auditing activity, there was no evidence that the Company carried out any operation that may be defined as non-compliant with the law or bylaws, clearly ill-advised or reckless, with a potential conflict of interest, in contrast with the Meeting’s resolutions or such as to damage the integrity of the Company’s assets. We did not find evidence of any atypical or unusual operation carried out with associated parties, third parties or intra-group companies, which may have affected significantly the economic, equity or financial standing of the Company. Furthermore, we acknowledge that no reports have been received pursuant to Article 2408 of the I.C.C. or were filed by third parties.
