REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ITP Benelli S.p.A.
Rome, Italy
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ITP Benelli S.p.A. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 9.01a. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe tiiat our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ITP Benelli S.p.A. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP or US GAAP”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).

US GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto, including discussion and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Significant estimates include the useful lives of assets, realization of deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and assumptions related to asset retirement obligations. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Due to the fact that Company’s operations are worldwide-based, the Company may be  subjected to changes in several countries’ economic, regulatory and political conditions.

Unless otherwise indicated, any reference herein to “Consolidated Financial Statements” is to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group (including the Notes thereto).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Due to the short-term nature of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, the carrying value of these instruments approximates their fair value.

Short-Term Investments

All short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are in highly liquid debt securities. The balance of the short-term investments is reported as “Marketable securities” and is marked-to-market, with any unrealized gains or losses included in “Other comprehensive income.”

Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the weighted average cost method. Production inventory costs include material, labor and factory overhead. The Company records inventory allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories.
 
With regards to work in progress, earnings are recorded on a percentage-of-completion basis, except for the subsidiary SEC, which accounts for the long term agreements using the completed contract method.
 
Work in progress recognized include direct and indirect costs associated to the construction contracts.
 
Under the percentage-of-completion method, contract revenues and total cost estimates are reviewed and revised periodically as work progresses. Revenues are computed by multiplying total estimated contract revenue by the percentage of completion (as determined by the cost-to-cost method). The excess of the amount over the earned revenue reported in prior periods is the earned revenue that is recognized in the income statement for the current period.
 
The subsidiary SEC uses the completed contract method because SEC has primarily short-term contracts for which reasonable dependable estimates cannot be made. Moreover, since SEC has primarily short-term contracts, the financial position and results of operations would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of-completion method.
 
Provisions for losses are recognized when the estimated cost for the contract exceeds estimated revenue and are recognized  in the period in which they become evident. The provisions for losses are recognized in the income statement as additional contract costs rather than as a reduction of contract revenue.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated lives which range from 2 to 30 years. Expenditures for maintenance (including those for planned major maintenance projects), repairs and minor renewals to maintain facilities in operating condition are generally expensed as incurred. Major replacements and renewals are capitalized.

Upon sale or disposal, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reported as income or expense, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and their estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than their carrying amount. In this case, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the long-lived assets and their carrying amount. No impairment was recorded in years 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not depreciated, but is instead reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill is more than its fair value. The Company records impairment losses on goodwill and other intangible assets based on an annual review of the value of the assets, or when events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and when the recorded value of the asset is more than its fair value. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based on its current operating forecast, which the Company believes to be reasonable. Significant assumptions that underline the fair value estimates include future growth rates and weighted average cost of capital rates. However, different assumptions regarding the current operating forecast could materially affect results.

Intangible assets include long-term patents, brands and software and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.

Foreign Currency Translation

The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency of the consolidated financial statements.

The Euro is the group functional currency. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and translated according to ASC 830-30. Financial statements of companies having a functional currency other than the Euro are translated into the group functional currency, subsequently the consolidated financial statement have been translated into the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the currency exchange rates as of the related year and, the equity at the historical exchange rates the profit and loss account at the average rates for the period.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized from product sales when title and risk of loss has passed to the customer consistent with the related shipping terms, generally at the time products are shipped. Shipping costs and handling fees are included in net revenues and cost of sales.

Refer to the description in the “Inventories” for the accounting of long-term contracts.

Warranty Expenses

The Company currently provides for the estimated costs that may be incurred under product warranties. Warranty provisions are recorded at the time of sale based upon the Company’s historical experience and anticipated future claims. The Company assesses the adequacy of its pre-existing warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary based on actual experience and changes in future estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. At each period-end, the Company assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets by reviewing a number of factors including operating trends, future projections, and taxable income to determine whether a valuation allowance is required to reduce such deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Employee Benefit Plan

Employee Benefit Plans are accrued in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 715, Retirement Benefits.

The employee leaving indemnity in Italy is called “Trattamento di Fine Rapporto” (“TFR”) and represents deferred compensation for employees. Under Italian law, an entity is required to accrue for TFR on an individual employee basis payable to each individual upon termination of employment (including both voluntary and involuntary dismissal). The annual accrual is 7.41% of total pay, with no cap, it is revalued each year by applying a pre-established rate of return of 1.50%, plus 75% of the Consumer Price Index, and it is recorded into a reserve account.

The subsidiaries’ employees in the U.S., Singapore and Czech Republic do not have any benefit or retirement plans.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income

The Company’s comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of net income, foreign currency translation gains and losses, and changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments. The Company does not accrue tax on its foreign currency translation gains and losses, as any undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries are deemed to be permanently reinvested in the applicable foreign subsidiary. Comprehensive (loss) income is reflected in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

Research and Development

The Group has not incurred any research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Codification: In June 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. This guidance establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by those entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The SEC Sections in the Codification are not the authoritative sources of such content and do not contain the entire population of SEC rules, regulations, interpretive releases, and staff guidance. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Following the issuance of this guidance, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates to the Codification. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. There were no changes to the accounting principles used to prepare the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of the ASC.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. This is done by using enacted tax rates which are expected to be applicable to the taxable income in the periods in which the differences are expected to arise. In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of tax assets may not be realized. In performing this evaluation, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

The Italian statutory tax rate is comprehensive of two components: national (“IRES”) and regional (“IRAP”). IRES tax rate amounts to 27.5%. IRAP amounts to 4.97% for the fiscal year 2010, 4.82% for the fiscal year 2009, 4.25% for the fiscal year 2008. The taxes are computed on different bases and by the application of different adjustments that may also vary from one year to another.

Furthermore the basis of application of income taxes is the Italian statutory net income adjusted accordingly to national and regional taxes requirements, as a consequence the translation under USGaap may have effects on the effective tax rate determined on the consolidated financial statements prepared accordingly to USGaap.

For the year ended as of December 31, 2010, 2009, 2008 the overseas subsidiaries income taxes did not have any impact since they were not material.

Reconciliation between the Italian statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows:
