Pro-forma data
Assumptions on which Pro-forma figures has been prepared
The new Parmalat was established on October 1, 2005, therefore the data for the first half of 2005 and the total year, which were approved and published in 2005, are stated on a pro forma basis.
Criteria for the Preparation of pro forma financial statement at June 30, 2005
The pro forma financial statements of Parmalat S.p.A. and the Parmalat Group at June 30, 2005 have been prepared using the data from the pro forma financial statements at December 31, 2004 contained in the Prospectus as opening balances and adjusting them to reflect the changes that occurred during the first six months of 2005. As explained in greater detail in the section of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements entitled “Scope of Consolidation,” the semiannual income statement was prepared by consolidating the income statements of the companies that, in accordance with the Proposal of Composition with Creditors, are included in the Group headed by Parmalat S.p.A. Additional adjustments were made in order to present the pro forma financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS/IAS). The data contained in the pro forma financial statements represent a simulation of the potential impact of the approval of the Proposal of Composition with Creditors, and are provided solely for illustration purposes. More specifically, since the pro forma data have been developed to retroactively show the effect of transactions that occurred at a later date (even though this was accomplished by following generally accepted practice and using reasonable assumptions), there are limitations inherent in the very nature of pro forma data. The criteria for the preparation of the pro forma reclassified financial statements of Parmalat S.p.A. and of the pro forma reclassified consolidated financial statements in accordance with Consob Communication No. DEM/1052803 del 05/07/2001 are explained in a separate section at the end of this Report. Additional information about the assumptions and basic criteria underlying the presentation of the pro forma financial statements are provided in Chapter IV.1.2 of the Prospectus.
Moreover, since the market value of each acquired asset and liability was not available on the date the pro forma financial statements at June 30, 2005 were prepared, the acquisition price was allocated to these items on a preliminary basis.
Criteria for the Preparation of pro forma financial statement at December 31, 2005
The 2005 Annual Report of the Parmalat Group covers essentially the period from October 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, because October 1, 2005 was the date when the assets and liabilities of the companies that put forth the Proposal of Composition with Creditors were transferred to Parmalat. For the sake of greater disclosure, full-year pro forma financial statements for 2005 for the operations transferred to Parmalat on October 1, 2005 is also provided.
