NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of and for the six months periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of De Rigo S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the related six-month periods then ended have been prepared by management. However, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Group’s financial position at those dates, and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of Italian GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the related notes thereto included in De Rigo’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, as amended (the “Audited Financial Statements”). For the convenience of the reader, certain data relating to the Group’s audited Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004 have been included in the accompanying financial statements and in Notes 2 and 4.

Certain amounts in the financial statement as of June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to conform with presentations as of December 31, 2004 and of June 30, 2005.

The Group’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of its operating results for the full years ending December 31.

2. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following at the dates indicated:

	(In thousands of Euro, unless otherwise noted)
	June 30,	June 30,	December 31,

Finished goods	38,974	37,064	39,911
Total	50,460	45,540	51,232

3. INCOME TAXES

The effective consolidated tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 46.4% as compared to a rate of 44.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of IRAP tax payable on the pre-tax income of the Group’s Italian companies.

4. RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Italian GAAP, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) ( See note 19 to the Audited Financial Statements).

For supplemental informational purposes, an unaudited reconciliation of net income and shareholders’ equity to U.S. GAAP for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and an audited reconciliation of shareholders equity at December 31, 2004 follows. To facilitate a comparison with the Audited Financial Statements, the letters shown preceding each adjustment are the same as those used in the Audited Financial Statements.

Shareholders' Equity

As described in Note 19 to the Audited Financial Statements:

Due to operating losses incurred by a subsidiary through December 31, 1993, the Company, pursuant to Italian legal requirements, has eliminated losses reported for Italian purposes amounting to € 2,195,000 against additional paid in capital by the former shareholders of the subsidiary. For U.S. GAAP financial reporting purposes, such operating losses would be reflected as a reduction of consolidated retained earnings, and the amount of capital used to eliminate such losses would be reflected as additional paid-in capital.

Condensed U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005, June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 presented below have been prepared taking into effect the principal differences between the De Rigo Group’s accounting policies and U.S. GAAP discussed above.
