(*) The balances at 31 December 2010 relate to Fiat Group post demerger to Fiat Industrial.
Additions of €2,385 million in 2012 mainly refer to the car mass-market operations.
In 2012, the Group wrote-down certain development costs by €57 million (€165 million in 2011). In 2012, the write-down has been totally recognised as
Trading profit/(loss). In 2011, the write-down had been recognised as Trading profit/(loss) for €4 million and for €161 million as Other unusual income/
(expenses) in the income statement.
Foreign exchange losses of €87 million in 2012 principally reflect the devaluation of the US Dollar and Brazilian Real against the Euro, partially offset by the
appreciation of the Polish Zloty against the Euro. Foreign exchange gains of € 72 million in 2011 principally had reflected changes in the US Dollar rates
against the Euro, partially offset by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real and the Polish Zloty against the Euro.
The amortisation of development costs are reported in the income statement as Research and development costs.
