The tax losses have an indefinite expiry, with the exception of the losses relating to Tiscali
International BV and the Dutch subsidiaries.
The Group does not record prepaid taxes, while the theoretical tax benefit as at 31 December 2013
calculated on the basis of an estimated average rate of 28.4% would amount to EUR 232.1 million.
The eventual process for the liquidation/merger of the foreign companies could reduce these
theoretical tax benefits. 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 2013.
Inventories (note 17)
At 31 December 2013, inventories totalled EUR 0.7 million and mainly relate to internet keys intended
to be sold.

At 31 December 2013, receivables from customers totalled EUR 45.2 million, after write-downs of
EUR 22.1 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.
