2. INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATING PERFORMANCE
This consolidated half-yearly financial report at 30 June 2012 was prepared pursuant to Legislative Decree 58/1998 and subsequent modifications, as well as by the Issuer Regulations issued by CONSOB.
This Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union, and has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, applying the same accounting policies as adopted in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2011. In partial exception to the provisions of IAS 34, this report provides detailed rather than synthetic schemes in order to provide a clearer view of the economic-patrimonial and financial dynamics that occurred over the six-month period. The explanatory notes are also presented in compliance with the information required by IAS 34 with the supplements considered useful for a clearer understanding of the half-yearly financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Landi Group at 30 June 2012 close with a net profit for the Group of
€ 2,606 thousand, compared with a loss for the Group of € -2,397 in the first half of 2011.
Revenues (goods and services) amounted to € 139,155 thousand, up by 8.9% compared with the same period in
2011.
The gross operating profit (EBITDA) is equal to € 15,885 thousand, compared with € 10,885 in June 2011, an
increase of 45.9%.
The operating profit (EBIT) is equal to € 6,736 thousand, compared with € 1,797 in 2011, an increase of 274.8%.
The net financial position at 30 June 2012 is negative for € 71,565 thousand, while at 30 June 2011 it was negative
for € 80,394 thousand.
In the second quarter of this year the Landi Group achieved revenues of € 79,557 thousand, an increase of €
19,959 thousand compared with the first quarter of 2012 (+33.5%).
The Group's net profit for the second quarter was € 3,398 thousand, an increase of 16.1% compared with the
second quarter of 2011.
2.1. MACROECONOMIC CONTEXT AND REFERENCE MARKET
In the early months of 2012, world economic activity, although hampered by stagnation in Europe and the
slowdown in the U.S. and emerging economies, showed some acceleration expanding at a moderate pace, while
international trade showed general signs of recovery.
From April 2012 the economic environment weakened again, conditioned by uncertainty on the evolution of the
sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone and fiscal policy in the United States, although there was an attenuation of
inflationary pressures due to the decline in the prices of raw materials. According to the latest projections by the
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 11
International Monetary Fund (IMF), released in July 2012, global growth this year is expected to fall to 3.5%
(from 3.9% in 2011), held back by the fall in business in the Euro zone and a slowdown in emerging markets.
The signs of a slowdown arriving from the Eurozone are compounded by the volatility in financial markets,
characterized by a considerable increase in aversion to riskier assets.
At a global level, however, the trend in the car market is positive. Registrations of new cars actually increased
worldwide by 6.6% in the first half of 2012, mainly due to the growth seen in the United States, as well as in
China, India and Russia and to the recovery of the Japanese market.
The positive trend in this auto market, however, does not seem to reach the Euro zone countries where, during
the first six months of the year, there was a decline in registrations of 6.8% (according to data released by ACEA
– Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobiles) compared with the same period last year, although with
differing trends among the major countries. The exact figure just for the month of June showed a decrease
limited to 2.8%.
Amidst this economic uncertainty, registrations of new cars in Italy during the first half of 2012 showed a
decrease of 19.7% compared with the same period last year, despite a significant increase in registrations of cars
powered by LPG, up from 2.82% of total registrations in 2011 to 7.52% in 2012, as well as the registration of
CNG-powered cars, which increased from 1.94% in 2011 to 3.56% in 2012.
The Landi Group, in the macroeconomic context described above, was able to follow the growth trend of its own
business sector, although in a declining Italian and European auto market, while at the same time grabbing some
of the opportunities offered by the worldwide automotive market.
The commercial strategy of the Landi Group focused on the one hand on strengthening relations with major
OEM players in the European market and on the other, in driving sales in the After Market channel, especially in
emerging markets, such as Asia and Latin America where, increasingly, policies are implemented for
diversification of energy sources favoring the use of natural gas for vehicles.
2.2. COMPANY DEVELOPMENT
A leader in sustainable mobility since 1954, Landi Renzo holds about a 30% share of the world market for gas
fuel supply systems for motor vehicles, a sector that currently operates in a fleet of more than 30 million LPG or
CNG vehicles, a number that confirms the absolute primacy of technologies of this sector to promote ecological
mobility.
In recent years, technological innovation and continuous research have made Landi Renzo a prestigious brand
worldwide, increasingly aimed at the development of new expertise and functional choices in the context of a
strategy of growth and internationalization.
The continuous technological and quality development of its products, characterized by the combination of
seeking excellence in production, a flexible approach to the customer, and the international vocation (as
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 12
demonstrated by the direct presence in key markets and indirect presence in more than 50 countries), are the
cornerstones underlying the company's success.
A key element of this strategy has been the ability to identify, with precise timing, each region capable of
expressing sales potential of innovative technologies for gas fuel supply systems.
With regard to the business sectors, alongside the historic After Market channel (retailers and importers), the
Group has also expressed its leadership through its collaboration with leading car manufacturers (Original
Equipment Manufacturing or “OEM” customers) worldwide, providing systems and installation services while
constantly monitoring quality at the critical stages of the production process.
During the first half of 2012, the Group finalized the development of dual fuel technology (diesel and CNG mix)
and continued with the HERS project (hybrid electric vehicles already on the road), showing its constant cutting
edge proposals for the use of energy sources with a lower environmental impact.
With regard to expansion of the product range, aimed at completing its offer and capacity for partnerships with
industrial and institutional partners, in July 2012 the Group expanded its business perimeter by renting a
business unit with subsequent conditional purchase, of the company Agave S.r.l. (formerly SAFE) operating in
the production of compressors for treatment of gases for multiple applications.
In the first half of 2012, the Group further strengthened its internationalization strategy, consolidating its
presence in the markets of the BRIC and neighboring countries, which are characterized by an increasing use of
CNG vehicles in the presence of substantial reserves of natural gas and government incentive policies.
2.3. INNOVATION, INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
During the first half of 2012, research continued on innovative technologies and development of fuel supply
systems that can contribute to reducing emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases (CO2).
In particular, the Group introduced its new range of After Market CNG and LPG conversion kits to the market,
consisting of a series of new components developed during the previous year such as injectors, gearboxes,
electronic and multi-valve power units. The success of the sale of these kits supported further development
activities aimed at expanding the range of new products for the conversion of all types of vehicles. In this
context, the first conversion kits for direct injection petrol engines were recently presented: this type of engine,
increasingly widespread on the market, is characterized by the fact that the fuel is injected directly into the
combustion chamber with consequent optimization in terms of consumption and performance.
The guidelines used for the development of applications intended for direct injection engines are the same as
those used for adapting gas fuel supply systems to all the technological innovations that car manufacturers
introduce regarding the operation and control of the engine, including those of the latest generation.
With regard to collaboration with auto manufacturers, the first half of the year was characterized by the
development of systems to be applied to new car models for CNG and LPG supply, in order to complete the
entire range aimed at customers.
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 13
Studies on the dual fuel diesel-CNG combustion process were continued, after the first approvals obtained in
2011, toward increasingly complex types of engines and applications, with particular reference to the buses used
in public transport as well as small goods vehicles. Thanks to this innovative dual fuel system it is now possible
to apply a dual diesel/CNG fuel supply, capable of reducing polluting emissions and running costs. The system
developed by the Landi Group allows CNG to be mixed with diesel, guaranteeing driving performances similar
to those obtained by full diesel engines. In this way, the system increases the fuel distance of vehicles, with
significant savings on consumption, and allows dual fuel supply to be reversed to diesel only at any time.
Research activities on new technologies are being continued both at the Cavriago headquarters and in the
branches, and were demonstrated during an event held at the new Research and Development Center in June
2012, at the same time as the NGV 2012 fair in Bologna.
On this occasion, a group of customers selected from around the world were able to test some of the
technologies recently implemented or under development on vehicles at their disposal, including systems for
direct injection vehicles, dual-fuel engines for ecological fleets, and applications for hybrid-electrical vehicles.
2.4. HUMAN RESOURCES, TRAINING AND SAFETY AT WORK
Human resources
The total number of employees of the Landi Group at 30 June 2012 was 860 units compared with 866 at 31
December 2011, an overall decrease of 6 units during the six-month period.
The following table lists the number of employees in the workforce.
Company 30/06/2012 31/12/2011 30/06/2011
Landi Renzo S.p.A. 359 363 369
A.E.B. S.p.A. 189 172 181
Lovato Gas S.p.A. 107 108 105
Foreign companies 205 223 229
Total 860 866 884
The number of employees compared with the first half of 2011 shows a decrease of 24 units, mainly because of
the reduction in the number of employees at foreign subsidiaries in Iran and Pakistan.
Training
Landi Renzo believes that the training of human resources represents a fundamental investment for the
development of company activities and, for this purpose, promotes the sharing of business know-how between
employees through training initiatives put forward by “LANDIRENZO Corporate University”.
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 14
The 2012 training plan is aimed at strengthening technical and managerial skills, as well as updating and
qualification of human resources. During the first half of 2012, more than 750 hours of training were carried out
with a strong focus on the issue of safety in the context of the new State-Region Agreement.
As regards the activity for discovering and promoting new talents, the companies of the Landi Group continued
to host students coming from university and post-university specialization paths, involved internships and
company field projects in Research and Development, Commercial and Business Development areas.
In the area of installer training, the R&D function and the Corporate University worked in close contact with
important results: 250 hours of training with more than 450 installers trained throughout the national territory.
Another important goal was attained by the Corporate University thanks to the issue of the first two books in
the series of publications created in collaboration with the Group Il Sole24Ore: “Landi Renzo and Sustainable
Mobility” and “Eco & Green Car, A guide to the ecological and sustainable car”.
Health, Safety and Environment
The Landi Group, which has always been active regarding safety in the workplace, is subject to the regulatory
principles pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 81 of 9 April 2008 regarding safety in the workplace.
On the strength of its OHSAS 18001:2007 certification, the Group continued with its activity of spreading
knowledge on safety and risk prevention in the workplace, also through innovative internal communication
systems for improved communication of the main standards and conduct regarding safety in the workplace.
Aware that environmental protection is one of the factors on which our future depends, the Group, in line with
its corporate mission, considered its commitment in this area within its own structures to be important,
spreading information on ecological topics in order to educate towards sustainable behavior while monitoring
the environmental impacts associated with its activities. Against this background, projects were started up for
the implementation of the Environmental Management System and ISO 14001 Certification, and to update the
Organization and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001.
2.5. OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Consolidated results
In the first half of 2012, the Landi Group achieved revenues of € 139,155 thousand, an increase of 8.9% over the
previous year.
Gross operating profit amounted to € 15,885 thousand (+45.9%), while there a net profit for the Group equal to €
2,606 thousand was recorded, compared with a net loss of € -2,397 thousand in the first half of 2011.
The figures for the six-month period show a strong improvement in the results achieved for the second quarter
of 2012 in terms of both turnover and profit compared with the first quarter.

* of which € 4,316 thousand relates to writedowns of tangible and intangible assets.
The increase in revenues recorded in the first half of 2012 compared with the same period in 2011 is primarily
due - while taking account of the negative trend of the South-West Asian market reasons that will be discussed
later - to the significant progress recorded in the Italian market (+96.7%) and in the European market (+35.8%)
and to the positive growth of the markets in the rest of the world (+11.8%).
In further detail, two macro elements can be highlighted that generated this positive performance compared to
last year:
the increase in registrations of LPG and CNG vehicles in Italy and Europe on EuroV engines;
the significant recovery in motor vehicle conversions in the After Market, favored mainly by the increase in
the price of traditional fuels, especially in Italy, and also as a result of the positive trend in demand in far east
countries and in some Latin American countries where the Group is increasing its penetration.

Revenues from sales of products and services in the GAS segment increased over the six months in question
from € 121,098 thousand in the first half of 2011 to € 132,073 thousand in the first half of 2012, recording an
increase of 9.1%. The increase (+ 54.9%) in six-monthly sales in the gas sector – LPG line was generated mainly
by the European markets, and in particular by the Italian market where there was a strong increase in demand
in both the OEM and After Market sectors, also favored by the increase in the price of traditional fuels (Petrol and
Diesel) recorded in the first part of 2012, as well as by the increasing interest regarding environmental and
energy issues. Sales in the gas segment - CNG line, on the other hand, dropped by 35.5% compared with the
first half of 2011, mainly due to the contraction of the market recorded in South-West Asia. This downturn can
be ascribed on the one hand to the significant slowdown in the Iranian market, which is suffering under trade
and financial restrictions as a result of the increasingly stringent embargo, and on the other to the contraction of
the Pakistani market as a result of unfavorable regulations.
Revenues from the sales of products in the Alarms, Sound and Other sector increased by 6.6% from € 6,645
thousand to € 7,082 thousand.
Revenues from sales of products and services in the GAS segment for the quarter in question decreased, overall,
from € 77,005 thousand in the second quarter of 2011 to € 75,637 thousand in the second quarter of 2012,
recording a decrease of 1.8%.
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 17
Within the Gas segment, revenues from the sale of LPG systems increased 58.2% from € 35,254 thousand to €
55,761 thousand. On the other hand, revenues from the sale of CNG systems dropped 52.4% from € 41,751
thousand to € 19,876 thousand.
Based on these figures, and given the little materiality of Alarm Systems, Sound and Other sales, the Landi
Group's sole business segment can be considered to be the “Gas Segment” for the production of LPG and CNG
fuel supply systems. Considering that the principal source of risks and benefits is connected with the activity
carried out and that the structure of the internal reporting uses a single activity segment, it is not considered
necessary to provide further specifications regarding the Gas Sector since it coincides substantially with that of
the entire company.

Analyzing the geographical distribution of revenues, during the first half of 2012 the Landi Group realized
69.1% (82.9% at 30 June 2011) of its consolidated revenues abroad (32.3% in Europe and 36.8% outside Europe).
The Italian market, in the six-month period, grew by 96.7% compared with the same period of the previous year
and revenues stood at € 42,954 thousand. This increase was generated by the increase in the demand for cleaner
and cheaper fuels (LPG and CNG) and by the full availability, from the start of the year, of the product range for
the OEM channel, completely renewed with systems that comply with the requirements of the Euro V standard
currently in force. Indeed, even in the context of an automobile market in steep decline (814,132 registrations in
the first half of 2012, in other words -19.7% compared with first half of 2011 - data source UNRAE) the sales mix
of new cars equipped with LPG and CNG systems increased in significantly (from 4.76% in the first half of 2011
to 11.08% in the first half of 2012), generating a positive effect on the volumes and revenues recorded in the first
part of the year.
The After Market conversions market in Italy has also developed significantly: the data processed by the Ecogas
consortium show the number of conversions in the first half of 2012 as 101,884, a strong increase (+45%)
compared with the same period of the previous year when they amounted to 70,143. The Landi Group's share of
the national market on the After Market channel in the first half of 2012 was close to 28.5%.
The trend in revenues in Europe increased by 35.8% compared with first half of 2011: Group sales benefited both
from the growth of the main markets in this geographical area, and from the positive effect generated by the
market launch of a completely renovated product range for the After Market channel. We point out that there
were significant increases in sales in Eastern European countries, with excellent performances in Poland and
Romania, as well as in Western Europe - in particular France.
The South West Asian market, as already shown in the first quarter of 2012, recorded a downturn in sales of
64.8% compared with the same period in 2011, primarily due to a serious slowdown in the Iranian and Pakistani
markets
A decrease of 5.8% was recorded in the American markets compared with the same period last year, while the
markets in the Rest of the World recorded an increase of 11.8% as a result of the positive trend in demand in
Thailand and the good performance of the Indian market, where the Group recently signed a preliminary
agreement to set up a Joint Venture with a local partner operating in the automotive sector.
Profit
Over the six-month period the Gross Operating Profit (GOP) of the Landi Group was positive for € 15,885
thousand (11.4% of turnover), an increase of 45.9% compared with value recorded for the same in 2011 (8.5% of
turnover). This increase can be ascribed to the elements summarized below:
increase in sales volumes and turnover;
productive optimizations to reduce the incidence of costs of materials achieved through rationalization of
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 19
supplies and better industrialization of the products;
activities for the reduction and rationalization of structural costs already in operation during the previous
year.
Operating Profit was equal to € 6,736 thousand, compared with € 1,797 thousand in the first half of 2011, after
taking account of the depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible fixed assets for € 9,149 thousand,
compared with depreciation and amortization of € 9,088 thousand recorded in the same period of 2011.
The result before tax was positive and equal to € 4,902 thousand compared with a pre-tax loss of € -1,748
thousand recorded in the first half of the previous year.
The Net Result of the Group for the first half of 2012 showed a profit of € 2,606 thousand, compared with a
negative net result for the first half of 2011 equal to € -2,397.
The following table is included to provide a clearer representation and to understand the positive trend of the
key performance indicators of the Group, analyzed by quarters with the same consolidation scope.

Note that the results obtained in the second quarter of 2012 as well as showing a significant increase in turnover
of € 19,959 thousand compared with the first quarter of 2012, also record an improvement in gross operating
profit, 12.9% of turnover, a significant increase compared with trend in recent quarters.
More particularly, the economic results of the second quarter show:
- consolidated EBITDA up by 82.7% compared with the previous quarter and which has almost trebled
compared to the last quarter of 2011;
- a net result of € 3,547 thousand that follows the same positive trend - the first result in profit after three
quarters closed with a net loss.

Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 21
The significant reduction in debt, which dropped in the quarter by € 24,984 thousand, is a result of greater
profits produced and the change in net working capital, with particular regard to the increase in trade payables.
Net operating capital (€ 90,487 thousand) decreased compared with 31 March 2012, by € 20,883 thousand, while
the percentage indicator, calculated on rolling turnover decreased from 41.9% to 34.2%.
An analysis of the individual items in comparison to the previous quarter shows:
- an increase in trade receivables equal to € 9,853 thousand as a result of increased revenue;
- a greater level of stocks amounting to € 6,976 thousand;
- a significant increase in trade payables of € 29,852 thousand primarily due to the increase in business volumes
as well as to the more favorable contractual conditions agreed with the suppliers;
- a reduction in other current assets of € 7,860 thousand, mostly due to assignment without recourse of the 2011
VAT credit of the parent company.
Net capital employed (€ 211,412 thousand), the fixed portion of which remains substantially unchanged,
decreased compared with 31 March 2012 by € 21,109 thousand, while the percentage indicator, calculated on

59,876 thousand in the first half of 2011, an increase of 21.5%. The increase in turnover can be ascribed primarily
to the increase in sales on the LPG line, primarily in Italy and Europe, achieving significant volumes on OEM
installations, and to consolidation in the After Market sector.

provisions. The gross operating result of the first half of 2012 was positive and equal to € 3,183 thousand,
compared with a positive gross operating result equal to € 3,896 thousand reported in the first half of 2011. The

The foreign subsidiaries of the Group, whose percentage weight in terms of revenue was 30% lower than
consolidated turnover, recorded an overall positive Gross Operating Profit, influenced to a large extent by the
good performance of the subsidiaries located in Romania and Poland.

2.7. POLICY FOR ANALYZING AND MANAGING RISKS CONNECTED WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF THE LANDI GROUP
This section provides information on exposure to risks connected with the activities of the Group as well as the
objectives, policies and processes for managing such risks and the methods used to asses and to mitigate them
mitigate them.
The Guidelines for the Internal Control System of the Landi Group defined by the Board of Directors identify the
Internal Control System as a cross-sectional process integrated with all the company activities, based on the
international principles of Enterprise risk management, and in particular on the framework CoSo Report indicated by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as a reference best practice for the architecture of internal control systems. The
purpose of the Internal Control System is to help the Group to realize its performance and profit objectives, to
obtain reliable economic-financial information and to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations in force,
avoiding damage to the company's image and economic losses. In this process, particular importance is given to
the identification of corporate objectives and the classification and control of the business risks connected to
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 25
them, through the implementation of specific actions aimed at containing such risks. There can be various types
of business risks: strategic, operational (related to the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations),
financial, reporting (related to the reliability of economic-financial information) and, lastly compliance (related to
the observance of the laws and regulations in force, to avoid the company suffering damage to its image or
and/or economic losses). In addition, all these risks can originate within or outside the Group. The exposure of
the Group to the above-mentioned risks has not changed significantly compared with 31 December 2011.
Those in charge of the various branches of company management identify and assess the risks within their
jurisdiction and identify actions to limit and reduce them (so-called “first line control”).
To the above-mentioned activities we can also add those of the Manager in charge of drafting corporate
documents and his staff (so-called “second level control”), the Supervisor for Internal Control (so-called “third
level control”), who continuously monitors the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal control system
through risk assessment activities, the cyclical performance of audit operations and the subsequent management
of follow up.
The results of the risk identification procedures are reported and discussed at the Top Management level of the
Group in order to create the prerequisites for their cover, insurance and for the assessment of the residual risk.
The following paragraphs describe the risks considered to be significant and connected with the activities of the
Group (the order in which they are listed does not imply any indication, either in terms of probability of their
occurrence or in terms of possible impact).
STRATEGIC RISKS
Risks connected with the international expansion strategy
The Group sells its products in more than 50 countries, in 11 of which it operates directly through its own
companies. During these six months, the Group achieved 69.1% of consolidated revenues abroad.
In pursuing its expansion strategy, the Landi Group has invested, and may invest more in the future, also in
countries characterized by considerable instability of their political institutions and/or at the center of situations
of international tension. The above-mentioned strategy could expose the Landi Group to various risks of a
macroeconomic nature, arising, for example, from changes in the political, social, economic and regulatory
systems of such countries or from extraordinary events such as acts of terrorism, civil disorder, restrictions on
trade, sanctions, limitation on foreign investment, nationalization and inadequate protection of intellectual
property rights. The probability of the above mentioned events actually occurring varies from country to
country and is difficult to predict. However, a constant monitoring activity is carried out by company Top
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 26
management in order to become aware of any changes as early as possible, so as to minimize any economic
impact that may ensue.
Risks related to growth
The Group aims at continued growth by means of a strategy based on gaining strength in the markets where it is
already present and on further geographical expansion. In the context of such a strategy, the Group could
encounter difficulties in managing the adaptation of the structure and business model or in the ability to identify
market trends or the preferences of local consumers. Furthermore, the company may have to incur start-up costs
arising from the opening of new companies. Lastly, in the case where the Group's growth is pursued through
external lines through acquisition transactions, it may encounter, amongst other things, difficulties related to the
correct valuation of the assets acquired, to the integration of such assets and also to the failure to achieve the
expected synergy, which may have a negative impact on the activity and on the future economic-financial
results of the Group.
Risks connected with the recoverability of intangible assets, in particular goodwill
Intangible assets totaling € 92,690 thousand are reported in the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2011,
including € 8,875 thousand for development expenditure, € 55,582 thousand for goodwill, € 28,233 thousand for
trademarks and licenses, as well as net prepaid tax totaling € 13,992 thousand. The recoverability of such values
is related to the materialization of future product plans and the cash generating unit to which they refer.
In particular, in the context of its development strategy, the Landi Group has acquired companies that have
allowed it to increase its market presence and to take advantage of the opportunities for growth that it provides.
In regard to such investments, recorded in the financial statements as goodwill, there is no guarantee that the
Landi Group will succeed in achieving the benefits originally expected from these operations.
The Landi Group constantly monitors the progress of performance in comparison to the forecast plans, initiating
the necessary corrective actions whenever unfavorable trends emerge that may involve significant changes in
expected cash flows used for impairment test when evaluating the coherency of the values recorded in the
financial statements.
OPERATING RISKS
Risks connected to relationships with OEM customers
The Landi Group distributes and sells its systems and components to the main automobile manufactures at a
world-wide level (OEM customers). In the half-year ending 30 June 2012, sales of systems and components by
the Landi Group to OEM customers represented approximately 37% of the total sales of such products. The
Group boasts long-standing relationships with the main world-wide automobile manufacturers. The ability of
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 27
the group to strengthen the existing relationships with such customers, or to establish new relationships, is a
determining factor in order to consolidate the leadership position that Landi Group holds in the market. The
relationships with OEM customers are typically governed by agreements that do not require minimum purchase
quantities. Therefore the demand for predefined quantities of Landi Group products from such customers
cannot be guaranteed. In order to best satisfy the requirements of various customers to its best ability, the Landi
Group has over the last few years initiated a policy of delocalization of part of its production in countries where
it already has a number of customers and is attempting to do the same in other countries. Due to these
considerations, and also in the light of the competitive advantage acquired in the offer of solutions for the
development of sales in the After Market channel, the Group does not consider itself to be a subject with a
significant risk of dependency on OEM customers. However, it is not possible to exclude the fact that a possible
loss of important customers or a reduction in orders from them or a delay in collection compared to contractual
stipulations may determine negative effects on the economic-financial results of the Group.
Product liability risks
Any design or manufacturing defects in the products of the Landi Group, also attributable to third party subjects
such as suppliers and installers, may generate product liability against third party subjects. In addition, should
the products turn out to be defective or fail to comply with technical and legal specifications, the Landi Group,
also at the request of its customers, could be obliged to withdraw such products from the market while incurring
the related costs. For these reasons an insurance structure has been set up that is centered on master policies
negotiated and contracted centrally and local policies of initial risk. The latter guarantee immediate activation of
the cover which is supplemented by master policies where the impact of the damage exceeds the local maximum
amount. In addition, allocations are made to appropriate risk provisions determined on the basis of historical
analysis and through evaluation of the individual commercial contracts signed with the main customers.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Interest rate risk
The Landi Group is exposed to the interest rate risk associated both with cash at hand and with short, medium
and long term financing. The exposure refers mainly to the Euro zone. As regards exposure to the risk of interest
rate volatility, note that the financial indebtedness is regulated primarily by variable interest rates. Therefore, the
financial management of the Group remains exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, not having, at the date of
the present financial statements, subscribed to instruments covering the variability of the interest rates on loans
contracted with the banks.
Exchange risk
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 28
The Landi Group sells part of its production and, although to much lesser degree, also purchases some
components also in Countries outside the Euro zone. In relation to the exchange risk, note that the amount of the
consolidated equity balances expressed in currency other than the functional currency is to be considered as
rather insignificant at Group level, although more important for the Iranian and Pakistani subsidiaries. The
Group has not subscribed to any instruments to cover exchange rate fluctuations and, in accordance with the
Group’s policy up to this moment, no speculative derivatives have been subscribed.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of counterparts of a financial instrument causes a financial loss
through failure to fulfill an obligation and derives primarily from trade receivables, from other financial assets
and from guarantees that may have been given by the Group.
Trade receivables and other receivables
The Group normally deals with known and reliable customers. It is the Landi Group's policy to subject
customers requesting extended payment conditions to procedures for checking their credit class. This check also
includes external assessments when available. In addition, the balance of the receivables is monitored on a
fortnightly basis over the period, in order to minimize exposure to the risk of losses. Finally, regarding new
customers and those not operating in EU countries, a letter of credit to guarantee successful collection is
normally used, where possible.
The Parent Company insures part of its foreign receivables, which are not guaranteed by letters of credit,
through a leading Insurance Company and makes use of pro-soluto assignment of debts. The Group allocates a
provision for loss of value that reflects the estimated losses on trade receivables and on other creditors, made up
primarily of individual write-downs of significant exposures.
Lastly, we point out that the persistence or deterioration of the current economic and financial crisis could have
an impact, even significantly, on the capacity of some client companies to regularly meet their obligations to the
Group.
Other financial assets
The credit risk regarding the other financial assets of the Group, including cash and cash equivalents, presents a
maximum risk equal to the book value of these assets in the case of insolvency of the counterpart.
Guarantees
The policies of the Group provide for the issue of financial guarantees only in favor of subsidiary companies.
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may have difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 29
liabilities. The Landi Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining an adequate level of available financial
resources and bank credit granted by the main Credit Institutions, in order to satisfy the finance requirements of
the operational activity. The uncertainty in the markets in which the Group operates and of the financial markets
requires particular attention in managing the liquidity risk and, to this end, particular attention is given to the
actions aimed at generating financial resources with operating activities and at maintaining an adequate level of
cash and cash equivalents as an important factor in facing this and future years. Therefore, the Group expects to
deal with the necessities arising from receivables falling due and from investments planned by means of flows
deriving from operating activities, available liquidity, and the renewal or refinancing of bank loans.
The Group has not adopted a specific policy for management of the centralized treasury. In particular, the
management of the ordinary treasury is delegated locally to the individual companies of the Group, while the
extraordinary treasury is subject to the decision-making process of the Parent company.
2.8. OTHER INFORMATION Transactions with related parties
The creditor/debtor relationships and economic transactions with related companies are the subject of a specific
analysis in “Explanatory Notes to the Abbreviated Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Statements” to which you
may refer. Please also note that sales and purchases between the parties cannot be qualified as either atypical or
unusual, as they are part of the normal activities of the Group companies, and that they are carried out at normal
market values. Regarding the relationships with the parent company Girefin S.p.A., also bear in mind that the
Directors of Landi Renzo S.p.A. do NOT consider it to exercise the management and coordination activities

Regulation 17221/2010, and pursuant to Article 2391-bis of the Civil Code, the Board of Directors has adopted

Pursuant to CONSOB communication no. 6064293 of July 28th 2006, note that during the six-month period no
atypical and/or unusual transactions occurred outside the normal operation of the company that could give rise
to doubts regarding the correctness and completeness of the information in the financial statements, conflicts of
interest, the protection of company assets or the safeguarding of minority stockholders.
Treasury shares and shares of parent companies
In compliance with the provisions of article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, it is confirmed that during the year
2011 and the first six months of 2012 the Parent company did not negotiate any treasury shares or shares of

2.9. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER CLOSING OF THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD AND FORECAST FOR OPERATIONS
After the closing of the six-month period and up to the present we point out that:
registrations of motor vehicles in Italy in the period January-July (ANFIA figures) totaled 928,064 units,
a decrease of 19.9% compared to the same period in 2011. In July 2012 a total of 109,380 vehicles were
registered, a decrease of 21.6% compared with volumes in 2011. also in July 2012 (UNRAE figures)
registration of LPG and CNG bi-fuel vehicles represented 13.4% of the total (5.2% in July 2011), including
9.8% LPG and 3.5% CNG.
since 18 July 2012, as mentioned in the introduction, the company structure acquired on rental with
conditional purchase of the former SAFE business unit has been active, for which, taking account of
current jobs in the portfolio, good revenue prospects are expected over the next six-month period.
on 30 July 2012 an agreement was signed setting up a joint venture in India between Landi Renzo S.p.A.
and Krishna Group, which will have the aim of becoming a leader in the supply of automobile gas
conversion systems for the Indian OEM sector, and in particular for the customer Maruti Suzuki.
Forecast for operations
The performance of the first six months is aligned with the Group's forecasts for the year 2012, posting positive
results regarding both revenues and margins, despite ongoing difficulties related to the macroeconomic scenario
and the reference market, including the business restrictions related to problematic countries in South West
Asia.
As regards the foreseeable future development of operations, the Landi Group confirms a positive outlook for
2012 with turnover up by more than 5% compared with 2011, and EBITDA margin greater than 10%, also due to
the consolidation of all the activities for optimization of structural and product costs already implemented as of
2011. The extraordinary operation linked to the company structure acquired on rental ex Safe represents, in the
current year, an additional turnover of more than € 6 million.

(RE). The company is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in the FTSE Italy STAR segment.
4.2. GENERAL PREPARATION CRITERIA AND CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES
4.2.1. Premise
The abbreviated half-yearly consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2012 were prepared pursuant to Article
154-ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 “Consolidated Financial Law (Testo Unico della Finanza)”, in accordance
with the provisions of international accounting principles (IAS/IFRS) recognized in the European Community,
and in particular those of IAS 34 “Interim Financial Statements”. In partial exception to the provisions of IAS 34,
this report provides detailed rather than synthetic schemes in order to provide a clearer view of the economic-
patrimonial and financial dynamics that occurred over the six-month period. The explanatory notes are also
presented in compliance with the information required by IAS 34 with the supplements considered useful for a
clearer understanding of the half-yearly financial statements.
The abbreviated half-yearly consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2012, approved by the Board of
Directors on 28 August 2012, must be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements as at
31 December 2011.
These Financial Statements are submitted to limited auditing by KPMG S.p.A.
They are consolidated on a line-by-line basis to include all assets and liabilities in their entirety.
The accounting policies used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the six months
closed at 30 June 2012 are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December
2011.
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 37
In addition to the interim values of the income statement and overall income statement at 30 June 2012 and 2011,
the balance sheet figures for the year closed at 31 December 2011 and at 30 June 2011 are included in the tables
below for purposes of comparison. The functional and presentation currency is the Euro. Figures in the
schedules and tables in this half-yearly financial report are in thousands of Euros.
In consideration of the proposed changes to the Issuer Regulations contained in the Consultation Document
issued by CONSOB on 7 July 2008, the half-yearly communication of the Parent Company has not been inserted
in this report.
The accounting principles are described in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2011 and were
applied uniformly across all the companies of the Group and for all periods presented. Note also that the new
accounting principles approved by the European Union that will come into force after 30 June 2012 have not
been adopted in advance.
4.2.2. Consolidation procedures and Accounting policies
The preparation of the abbreviated half-yearly consolidated financial statements requires the directors to apply
accounting standards and methods that are sometimes based on difficult and subjective assessments and
estimates derived from past experience and based on assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic
given the circumstances. Application of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts presented in the
financial statements, such as the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Overall Income Statement, Cash Flow
Statement and disclosures. Estimates are used in recognizing goodwill, impairment of non-current assets,
development expenditure, taxes, provisions for bad debts and inventories, employee benefits and other accruals
and provisions. Estimates are used in recognizing goodwill, impairment of non current assets, development
expenditure, taxes, provisions for bad debts and inventories, employee benefits and other accruals and
provisions.
It is also pointed out that some valuation processes, especially the more complex ones such as establishing any
loss in value of non-current assets, are normally carried out to a fuller extent only during preparation of the
annual financial statements, when all the necessary information is available, except for those cases in which
there are impairment indicators that require an immediate assessment of possible losses in value.
The Group performs activities that do not on the whole present significant seasonal or cyclical variations total
sales over the course of the year, except for the signing of new supply contracts on the OEM channel which may
provide for planned and differing delivery schedules in the individual quarters.

4.2.3. Conversion of the financial statements of foreign companies
The Financial Statements in the currency of the foreign subsidiaries are converted into the accounting currency,
adopting the half-year end exchange rate for the Statement of Financial Position and the average exchange rate
over the six months for the Income Statement. The conversion differences deriving from the adjustment of
opening Equity to the current rates at the end of the period, and those due to the different method used for
conversion of the result for the period, are accounted for in Equity under the other reserves.
The following table specifies the exchange rates used for the conversion of financial statements expressed in
currencies other than the accounting currency.

4.4 EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The changes provided hereafter were calculated on the balances at 31 December 2011 as regards balance sheet
items, and on the values of the first half of 2011 as regards income statement items.
4.4.1. SEGMENT REPORTING
The following table provides an analysis of consolidated revenues in comparison to the same period of 2011
(thousands of Euros):
Distribution of revenues per area of activity
(Thousands of Euros) At 30/06/12 % of
revenue At 30/06/11
% of revenue
Change %
Gas sector - LPG line 92,453 66.4% 59,667 46.7% 32,786 54.9%
Gas sector - CNG line 39,620 28.5% 61,431 48.1% -21,812 -35.5%
Total revenues - GAS sector 132,073 94.9% 121,098 94.8% 10,974 9.1% Other (Alarm systems, Sound, Aquatronics and Robotics) 7,082 5.1% 6,645 5.2% 438 6.6%
Total revenues 139,155 100.0% 127,743 100.0% 11,412 8.9%
Based on these figures, and given the little materiality of the sales of “alarm systems, sound and other”, the
group’s sole business segment can be said to be the production of LPG and CNG fuel supply systems.
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 41
Considering that the principal source of risks and benefits is connected with the activity carried out and that the
structure of the internal reporting uses a single activity segment, it is not considered necessary to provide further
specifications regarding the Gas Sector since it coincides substantially with those of the entire company.
The revenues of the Landi Renzo Group have been divided by geographical area, with reference to location of
the end customer, while the value of the assets and investments are broken down by geographical segment
based on location of the actual assets.

Development expenditure 10,346 1,238 0 -2,809 100 8,875
23,416 -13,070 24,754 -15,879
Development expenditure amounted to € 8,875 thousand (€ 10,346 thousand at 31 December 2011) and includes
the costs incurred by the Group both for internal personnel and for services rendered by third parties for projects
meeting the requirements IAS 38. In particular, projects capitalized during the first half of 2012 refer to
innovative projects aimed at new market segments, capable of expanding and optimizing the product range, the
value of which will be recovered through revenue flows generated in future years.
It is expected that new product development activities will continue during the second half of 2012.
All the increases for the period relate to development projects not yet concluded at 30 June 2012 and therefore
not subject to amortization.
To evaluate any losses in value of capitalized development costs, the Group attributes such costs to the
corresponding cash-generating units (CGUs) and evaluates their recoverability, calculating the value of use with
the discounted financial flow method.

Goodwill 55,582 55,582
Total 55,582 0 0 0 0 0 55,582 0 0
The item Goodwill is equal to € 55,582 thousand, unchanged compared with 31 December 2011.
The following table analyses this amount broken down by company:
Company June 2012 year 2011 Change
Lovato Gas S.p.A. 50,221 50,221 0
AEB S.p.A. 2,813 2,373 440
MED S.p.A. (merged into Landi Renzo in 2010) 2,548 2,988 -440
Total 55,582 55,582 0
The increase in the value of goodwill for the company A.E.B. S.p.A., for € 440 thousand, and the equivalent
decrease for the parent company Landi Renzo S.p.A. is a result of the contribution - with effect from 1 January
2012 - of the business unit active in the “Alarm Systems” segment, including the corresponding portion of
goodwill, to the subsidiary A.E.B. S.p.A.
No events or circumstances arose during the period indicating possible impairment losses related to the
goodwill mentioned above. The performance of the CGUs over the six months was, however, found to be
substantially in line with the business plan and budget plans used at 31 December 2011, and the assumptions
underlying the determination of WACC (cost of capital) at 31 December 2011 were found to be still valid at 30
June 2012. Therefore, no trigger events emerged that would have required reformulation of the impairment test at
30 June 2012 given that all the Goodwill items were subject to impairment test at 31 December 2011.

The other intangible assets with finite useful lives, equal to € 28,233 thousand at 30 June 2012 (€ 29,506 thousand
at 31 December 2011), include primarily Rights to use intellectual property and Trademarks owned by the

18SOUND, for € 11,555 thousand, and the Baytech trademark, for € 1,307 thousand, stated at fair value at the
moment of the purchase on the basis of valuations made by independent professionals and amortized over 18
years, the period deemed representative of the useful life of the trademarks.
4.4.6. OTHER NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS Other Non-current Financial Assets, equal to € 192 thousand (€ 170 thousand at 31 December 2010) include,
primarily, guarantee deposits. These items were not actualized since the impact of the financial effect is not
significant.
4.4.7. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
Deferred tax assets, equal to € 13,274 thousand (€ 13,274 thousand at 31 December 2010), refer to the following
main cases:
- remission of the goodwill ex Legislative Decree no. 185/2008, recorded by the subsidiary Lovato Gas S.p.A.
prior to acquisition by the Landi Renzo Group;
- temporary differences deriving from asset adjustment funds posted primarily by the Italian companies of the
Group;
- temporary differences deriving from adjustments for consolidation;
- previous tax losses of the parent company Landi Renzo S.p.A. and the subsidiary Landi Renzo Usa
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 46
Corporation.
The allocation of deferred tax assets is carried out for each company of the Group by assessing the existence of
the conditions of future recoverability of such taxes on the basis of the updated strategic plans, together with the
corresponding tax plans, taking the applicable tax rules into consideration.
CURRENT ASSETS
4.4.8. TRADE RECEIVABLES (including related parties) Trade receivables (including trade receivables due from related parties), stated net of the related depreciation
fund, are analyzed by geographical segment as follows (thousands of Euros):
Trade receivables per geographical area 30/06/2012 31/12/2011 Change
Italy 29,354 17,769 11,585
Europe (excluding Italy) 23,127 14,970 8,157
South-west Asia 19,427 26,084 -6,657
America 15,856 18,763 -2,907
Rest of the World 9,579 4,624 4,955
Provision for bad debts -4,635 -4,420 -215
Total 92,708 77,790 14,918
Trade Receivables at 30 June 2012 amount to € 92,708 thousand, net of the Provision for Bad Debts equal to €
4,635 thousand, compared with € 77,790 thousand at 31 December 2011.
The Parent Company carried out operations for assignment of trade receivables through pro-soluto factoring
and at 30 June 2012 total assignments with credit maturity, for which the corresponding receivables were
derecognized, amounted to € 7,311 thousand (€ 196 thousand at 31 December 2011).
The provision for bad debts, which was calculated using analytical criteria on the basis of the data available and,
in general, of the historical trend, changed as follows:
Provision for bad debts 31/12/2011 Provision Utilization 30/06/2012
Provision for bad debts 4,420 377 -162 4,635
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 47
The allocations made during the period, taking account of the assurance policies set up for part of the foreign
receivables of the Parent Company, are equal to € 377 thousand and their purpose is to adjust the receivables to
their assumed recovery value utilizations, equal to € 162 thousand, refer mainly to the write-off of a receivable of
the subsidiary Lovato Gas S.p.A.
In accordance with the requirements of Accounting Principle IFRS 7, the following table provides information on
the maximum credit risk divided by expiry classes, gross of the Provision for Bad Debts:
Past due
(Thousands of Euros) Not past due 0-30 days 30-60 days 60 and beyond Provision for Bad
Debts
Trade Receivables at 31/12/2011 50,492 8,595 4,412 18,711 -4,420
Trade Receivables at 30/06/2012 66,322 5,565 2,156 23,300 -4,635
It is considered that the book value of the Trade Receivables approximates their fair value. In addition, to date, it
is believed that there are no particular risks of solvency.
The increase in receivables overdue by more than 60 days, an increase of € 4.589 thousand compared with 31
December 2011, was mainly due to a lengthening of payment times by several major Iranian auto manufacturers
as a result of financial constraints related to the increasingly strict measures of the international embargo. It
should also be emphasized that a significant portion of these items was collected after the date of these interim
financial statements.
4.4.9. INVENTORIES
This item is analyzed as follows (thousands of Euros):
Inventories 30/06/2012 31/12/2011 Change

Work in progress and semi-finished products 11,432 7,440 3,992
Finished products 24,271 20,381 3,890
(Provision for inventories) -6,343 -6,087 -256
Total 79,028 67,408 11,620
Closing inventories at 30 June 2011 amount overall to € 79,028 thousand, net of the provision for inventories
equal to € 6,343 thousand, and therefore record an increase of € 11,620 thousand compared to 31 December 2011,
Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 48
primarily due to the dynamics of supply related to the increase the volume of business.
The Group estimated the size of the provision for inventories so as to take account of the risks of technical
obsolescence of inventories and to align the book value with their assumed recovery value. At 30 June 2012 this
item was equal to € 6,343 thousand, an increase of € 256 thousand compared with 31 December 2011.
4.4.10. OTHER RECEIVABLES AND CURRENT ASSETS

Prepayments and accrued income 1,844 912 932
Total 20,549 27,452 -6,903
Tax assets
Tax assets consist primarily of VAT recoverable from the tax authorities for € 9,385 thousand, including € 7,373
thousand requested as a refund. The remainder consists of credits for income taxes due to a surplus of advance
payments made during the previous year by the Italian companies of the Group as well as other tax credits
attributable to the foreign Group companies

Half-yearly financial report – H1 2012 ________________________________________________________________ 49
4.4.12. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS This item, consisting of the active balances of bank current accounts and cash in hand in both Euros and foreign
currency, is analyzed as follows (thousands of Euros):

is considered that the carrying value of Cash and cash equivalents is aligned with their fair value at the balance
sheet date.
The credit risk relating to Cash and cash equivalents is therefore deemed to be limited since the deposits are split
over primary national and international banking institutions.

that the Group companies have incurred as an effect of legal or contractual provisions, in relation to the expenses
connected with providing product warranties for a fixed period of time starting from the sale thereof.
This estimate was determined on the basis of the Group's experience, with specific contractual content, and has
been increased compared with 31 December 2011 as a result of new commercial agreements with car
manufacturers and the effect of expansion of the supply perimeter to them.
At 30 June 2012 this provision amounted to € 4,913 thousand (€ 4,493 thousand at 31 December 2011). The
provision was recognized in the Income statement under the item “Accruals, impairment losses and other
operating expenses”.
Management believes that the value set aside as at 30 June 2012 is sufficient to cover any future requests for
damages deriving from product warranties.
4.4.17. DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
This item includes exclusively employee severance indemnity funds set up by the Italian companies in

Defined benefit plans 31/12/2011 Provision Utilization 30/06/2012
Employee termination indemnities 2,835 231 -128 2,938
The allocation is due to the effect of the revaluation of the TFR of employees in existence at the end of the period

amounts paid out to employees who ceased to work for the Italian companies of the Group.

At 31 June 2012 deferred tax liabilities amount to € 11,060 thousand (€ 12,351 thousand at 31 December 2011)
with a decrease equal to € 1,291 thousand, and are primarily related to temporary differences between the book
values of certain tangible and intangible assets and the values recognized for tax purposes.
No deferred taxes have been recorded on undistributed profit reserves of subsidiaries, since the Parent
Company is able to control the time frame for the distribution of said reserves and it is currently likely that they
will not be distributed.

Auditors’ report on review of condensed interim consolidated financial statements
To the shareholders of
Landi Renzo S.p.A.
1 We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Landi
Renzo Group as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2012, comprising the statement
of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity,
statement of cash flows and notes thereto. The parent’s directors are responsible for the
preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance
with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial
reporting (IAS 34), endorsed by the European Union. Our responsibility is to prepare this
report based on our review.
2 We conducted our review in accordance with Consob (the Italian Commission for Listed
Companies and the Stock Exchange) guidelines set out in Consob resolution no. 10867
dated 31 July 1997. The review consisted primarily of the collection of information about
the captions of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the
consistency of application of the accounting policies through discussions with parent
company directors and analytical procedures applied to the financial data presented in
such condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The review excluded such
audit procedures as tests of controls and substantive procedures on assets and liabilities
and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. As a consequence, contrary to our report on the annual
consolidated financial statements, we do not express an audit opinion on the condensed
interim consolidated financial statements.
With regard to the corresponding figures included in the prior year consolidated financial
statements and condensed interim consolidated financial statements, presented for
comparative purposes, reference should be made to our reports dated respectively
30 March 2012 and 28 August 2011.

3 Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Landi Renzo Group as at and
for the six months ended 30 June 2012 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in
conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim
financial reporting (IAS 34), endorsed by the European Union.
