Annual Report as at 31

The Group does not record prepaid taxes, while the theoretical tax benefit calculated on the basis of
an estimated average rate of 28.4% would amount to EUR 228.4 million. Despite the Group’s business
plan having indicated profits for the next five years, Tiscali S.p.A.’s Directors have not provided for
prepaid taxes in the financial statements as at 31 December 2012.
Inventories (note 19)
At 31 December 2012, inventories totalled EUR 0.3 million and mainly relate to internet keys intended

Total 60,439 88,574
At 31 December 2012, receivables from customers totalled EUR 60.4 million, after write-downs of
EUR 20.2 million. These receivables accrued from the sale of internet services, billing of network
access services, inverse interconnection traffic, advertising revenues and business customer and
telephone services provided by the Group.
The analysis of receivables is carried out periodically, adopting a specific policy for calculating the
receivable write-down provision, with reference to experience and historical trends.
As the Group’s credit exposure is spread over a very large customer base, there is no particular credit
concentration risk.
