Basis and methodology for business segment<br />

reporting<br />

Revenue and expenses that cannot be<br />

specifically attributed to a business line because<br />

of decisions adopted for the overall Group or<br />

other reasons are attributed to a “Corporate<br />

Unit” to which the necessary consolidation<br />

adjustments and eliminations are attributed in<br />

order to draw up consolidated financial<br />

statements for the Group from the aggregate of<br />

the businesses.<br />

Costs of the parent company identified as arising<br />

from services provided to subsidiaries are<br />

passed on to them and are recognized in the<br />

profit and loss of the various businesses. The<br />

remaining transactions of the parent company<br />

are included in the “Corporate Unit”.<br />

The segment information provided below is<br />

based on monthly reports prepared by the<br />

various businesses and generated from the<br />

accounts and other records of the companies<br />

comprising the businesses in the same way as<br />

the information used to prepared the<br />

accompanying consolidated financial statements.<br />

The structure of this information is designed as if<br />

each business were an independent business<br />

arising from the consolidation or combination of<br />

the companies that comprise it and had its own<br />

resources.<br />

Segment information by business is presented<br />

below.<br />

The transactions carried out in 2005 in the<br />
