CORPORATE BOD I ES 1.

Dear Shareholders,

In 2011 the Interpump Group reached a historic record for EBITDA, recording earnings of €95.0 million. Despite differences betweenbusiness activities and geographical areas, we can consider that the 2009 crisis is now behind us, even though reasons for uncertaintyin the global macroeconomic scenario persist. In relation to sales, the Industrial Sector far exceeded pre-crisis levels, while the HydraulicSector reached approximately 80% of pre-crisis levels. Highly encouraging signals were received from North America and EmergingCountries (BRIC) with significant growth percentages (respectively +20.5% and +48.2%). Contrasting signals were recorded in Europe(including Italy), which anyway returned average growth of 16.2%, although results country by country varied widely. The driving rolewas played by Germany (+35.3%).

The Interpump Group achieved the following consolidated results in 2011:- sales rose by 16.1% to €493.3 million (€472.3 million, excluding the sales of Unielectric, which was sold in September 2011),

compared to the €424.9 million of 2010;- as already mentioned, EBITDA rose to €95.0 million, equivalent to 19.3% of sales (€94.7 million without Unielectric or 20.0% of sales)

compared to €74.1 million in 2010 (equivalent to 17.4% of sales), representing growth of 28.2%;- EBIT reached €75.8 million, equivalent to 15.4% of sales (€54.7 million in 2010), reflecting an increase of 38.5%;- net profit rose by 55.5% to reach €42.6 million, compared to the €27.4 million of 2010;- earnings per share were €0.439 versus €0.284 for 2010 (+54.6%);- ROCE reached 16.4% versus 12.5% of 2010 and ROE rose to 13.5% compared to the 9.5% of 2010;- Net financial indebtedness, including debts for the acquisition of the minority interests of already controlled companies (equivalent to

€19.0 million) was €146.0 million at 31 December 2011 (€147.8 million at 31 December 2010). The €28.8 million free cash flow was entirely utilised for the acquisition of investments, treasury stock and dividends.

Performance by sector

Sales of the Hydraulic Sector totalled €229.9 million compared to the €190.3 million for 2010 and were therefore up by 20.8% (+18.1%on a like for like basis). Sales of US companies increased by 38.3% in dollar on dollar terms (+27.8% on a like for like basis); translatedinto euro the increase was 31.6% (+21.7% on a like for like basis). Sales of the other companies in the Hydraulic Sector rose by 16.7%with respect to the figure for 2010.

EBITDA for the Hydraulic Sector was €32.9 million or 14.3% of sales (€23.6 million in 2010, equivalent to 12.4% of sales), reflectinggrowth of 39.2% and improving by 1.9 percentage points both due to increase in volumes and the control of costs.

Industrial Sector turnover was up by 15.5% at €242.4 million compared to the €209.8 million of 2010. Sales of very-high pressuresystems reached €148.4 million, with growth of 21.3% compared to the €122.4 million in 2010. Sales of high pressure water pumpsreached €82.1 million and were up by 8.8% compared to the €75.4 million of 2010.

Industrial Sector EBITDA totalled €60.7 million (25.0% of sales) compared to the figure of €50.3 million recorded in 2010 (23.9% ofsales), reflecting growth of 20.5%.

External growth

2011 saw an increase in the Group’s rate of external growth. In April 2011 the Group acquired American Mobile Power (AMP)headquartered in Fairmont (Indiana - USA), one of the main US manufacturers of aluminium and steel tanks for industrial vehicle hydraulicsystems. The Company's sales from 1 April to 31 December 2011 (nine months) totalled $7.7 million with EBITDA of $1.5 million, equivalentto 19.6% of sales. The Group acquired 80% of American Mobile's shares for the overall price of $6.8 million, paid in cash. AMP’soperations are highly synergistic with respect to the business of the Interpump Group's Hydraulic Division. In this context, Muncie PowerProducts, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Interpump Group, is the US leader in power take-offs for industrial vehicles and it hasstrengthened its position on the US market thanks to the acquisition of American Mobile, expanding its product offering with AMP's tanks.

In addition, preliminary contracts were signed in 2011 for the acquisition of Takarada, Galtech and MTC: the deals were closed in Januaryand February of 2012 so these companies were excluded from the 2011 consolidated financial statements, although they will feature inthe 2012 report.

Takarada, with registered office in Caxias do Sul (state of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil), is a leading manufacturer and seller of powertake-offs and related hydraulic components for industrial vehicles in Brazil. In 2011 the company recorded sales of 17.9 million Reais(€8.0 million) and EBITDA of 3.3 million Reais (€1.5 million), equivalent to 18.6% of sales. A total of 29.0 million Reais (€12.9 million)was paid for 100% of Takarada's capital, inclusive of the company's financial debt. Also Takarada’s operations are highly synergisticwith respect to the business of the Interpump Group's Hydraulic Division. With the acquisition of Takarada, the Interpump Group lays thegroundwork for substantial growth of the Hydraulic Sector in Brazil, currently on the verge of allocating significant funds to the developmentof infrastructure in the coming years, also thanks to its selection as the host of forthcoming top international sporting events (Football WorldCup and the Olympics).

R E S U LT S 2 0 1 1

Galtech and MTC, both headquartered in Reggio Emilia, Italy, are engaged in the manufacture and sale of directional control valves,hydraulic valves and accessories, gear pumps and gear motors. The companies recorded combined sales of € 20.7 million in 2011, withEBITDA of €1.1 million. The net financial indebtedness of the two companies at 31 December 2011 was €1.1 million. 53% of Galtech'sshare capital and 60% of the capital of MTC was acquired for €6.3 million, of which €4.7 million paid in cash and the remaining amountsettled with 300,831 Interpump Group S.p.A. treasury shares.

Also the operations of Galtech and MTC are highly synergistic with respect to the business of the Interpump Group's Hydraulic Sector. Inthis context, it should be noted that Interpump Hydraulics S.p.A., a 100% owned subsidiary of Interpump Group S.p.A, is world leaderin power take-offs for industrial vehicles and through the acquisitions of Galtech and MTC it has strengthened its market position bybroadening its product offering.

Treasury stock

In 2011 the Group acquired 3,548,594 treasury shares at an average price of €4.6468; the shares can be used for the acquisition ofequity investments or to service stock option plans. In the same period, 1,074,286 treasury shares were sold for €4.3 million to pay forinvestments, and 50,000 for the exercise of stock options. At 31 December 2011 Interpump Group held 5,484,280 treasury shares,equivalent to 5.6% of the share capital, with an average unit cost of €4.449.

Dividends

The Board of Directors made a proposal to the shareholders' meeting to distribute a dividend of 12 euro cents per share. If approved,the dividend will be distributed as from 10 May with coupon clipping date of 7 May.From the share listing date (16 December 1996) to 8 March 2012 (share reference price of €6.35), the total return for shareholders hasbeen 11% annually for more than 15 consecutive years, considering the increase in value of the share, the dividends, the purchase oftreasury stock and the capital increase.

Warrants

October 2011 saw the end of the second exercise period of Interpump Group warrants; 10,464 warrants were exercised during theperiod, and consequently 6,431 newly issued shares were subscribed for an equivalent value of €31 thousand. There are therefore18,446,168 outstanding warrants exercisable in October 2012 by underwriting 59 newly issued shares for each 96 warrants at a priceof €5.10 per share.

Strategy for 2012 and coming years

For 2012 and future years the Interpump Group will focus a significant amount of resources on development in countries with fast-growingeconomies. In this context, the Group considers that structured growth in the future will be achieved above all through surging businessin emerging economies. In this regard we draw your attention to an additional initiative undertaken in 2011: December saw the incorporationof the Dubai based Interpump Hydraulics Middle East FZCO, founded in order to provide a local branch to penetrate the Middle Easternmarket more effectively.

As in the past, much importance will be awarded to North America, which is currently the most important market for the Group and whichis displaying highly encouraging signs of recovery. With regard to Europe, Interpump Group plans to consolidate its competitive positionsand improve them wherever possible.

Special attention will be devoted to controlling costs and to finance management, in order to maximise the generation of free cash flowto be allocated to structured external growth and the remuneration of shareholders.

I thank you for your confidence in Interpump Group S.p.A. . With the unwavering commitment of all our staff and that of myself, it is mybelief that the Group will continue to generate adequate resources for growth and for increased value of the Group for the benefit of allour shareholders.

Yours sincerely

2011 confirmed the recovery in sales and profitability that began in March2010. Sales of continuing operations rose by 18.0% to €472.3 million.The Industrial Sector surpassed the highest levels of the pre-recession periodwith 15.5% growth, while the Hydraulic Sector, which had suffered a farmore significant downturn, rose to around 80% of the sales recorded priorto the economic crisis. The reason for this difference is connected with thefact that the Hydraulic Sector is mainly driven by the sale of industrialvehicles in a market that has been particularly hard-hit by the slump in thebuilding construction sector, which has yet to display any significant signsof growth – at least on European markets – after the crisis. Despite thisbackground, in 2011 the Hydraulic Sector grew by 20.8% on the heelsof the promising performance in 2010, when the sector achieved growthof 27.1%.

A major contribution to recovery came from BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia,India and China), which together recorded growth of 48.2%. Althoughvolumes remain modest (sales in 2011 totalled €43.5 million), the overallincidence on consolidated sales rose from 7.3% to 9.2%. We can thereforesee that the initiatives undertaken in India, and especially in China in recentyears, are starting to generate rewards. In addition, to strengthen itscompetitive position in Brazil, on 15 February 2012 the Group acquired100% of Takarada, a Brazilian manufacture of power take-offs and otherhydraulic components, as illustrated in greater detail below.

The Group retained all the initiatives undertaken in 2009 and 2010 aimedat cutting back on costs and ensuring rigorous control of working capitaland expenditure, as described in the Board of Directors' Report accompanyingthe consolidated financial statements at 31/12/2010. Thanks also to allthe initiatives undertaken, EBITDA of continuing operations was up by28.0% versus 2010, reaching €94.7 million (20.0% of sales), reflectinga rise of 1.5 percentage points. Comprehensive EBITDA (inclusive of theElectric Motors Sector) totalled €95.0 million. This is a record in the historyof the Interpump Group, higher than the prior record of 2007 when thefigure was €94.3 million, thus confirming the solidity of the Group'scompetitive positions, which have made it possible to achieve this resultin a period like the present, in which the macroeconomic outlook is uncertainin the extreme.

From the standpoint of liquidity management we continued to focus attentionon the control of working capital; this said, the significant level of growthrecorded in sales volumes resulted in absorption of liquidity of continuingoperations in the measure of €21.4 million, after the actions taken in 2009and 2010 had served to generate liquidity from the management ofworking capital, respectively, of €44.7 million and €5.5 million.

Since April, 2011 data also include American Mobile Power, which wasacquired on 15 April 2011. American Mobile Power (AMP), headquarteredin Fairmount (Indiana), is among the primary US manufacturers and sellersof tanks for industrial vehicle hydraulic systems, mainly constructed ofaluminium and steel. The company's sales from 1 April to 31 December2011 (nine months) totalled $7.7 million, while EBITDA totalled $1.5million, equivalent to 19.6% of sales. The Group acquired 80% of AmericanMobile's shares for a total of $6.8 million, paid in cash. The remaining20% will be acquired in April 2016 for a price based on the resultsachieved by the company in the two preceding years. The operations ofAMP are highly synergistic with respect to the business of the InterpumpGroup's Hydraulic Division. In this context, Muncie Power Products, whichis a wholly owned subsidiary of Interpump Group, is the US leader inpower take-offs for industrial vehicles, and through the acquisition ofAmerican Mobile it has strengthened its position on the US market, expandingits product offering with AMP’s tanks.

The Group accentuated initiatives for external growth during the financialperiod.

An outline agreement was signed on 11 July 2011 for the acquisition ofGaltech. This transaction was closed on 31 January 2012. Headquarteredin Reggio Emilia, Galtech is active in the production and sale of gearpumps and motors, directional control valves, hydraulic accessories, andgeneral components. In 2011 company sales were €15.0 million, whileadjusted EBITDA was negative in the amount of €0.3 million. The netfinancial indebtedness of the company as at 31 December 2011 was €1.7million. The acquisition of 53% of Galtech's share capital was achievedfor a total price of €3.3 million, paid half in cash and half with 300,831Interpump Group S.p.A. treasury shares. The sellers are entitled to divestthe remaining 47% from the date of approval of the 2014 financialstatements until the date of approval of the 2025 financial statements.

An outline agreement was signed on 28 November 2011 for the acquisitionof MTC. This transaction was closed on 18 January 2012. Headquarteredin the province of Reggio Emilia, MTC is active in the production and saleof directional control valves and a range of other hydraulic valves. In 2011the company recorded sales of €5.7 million and EBITDA of €1.4 million,equivalent to 23.9% of sales. At 31 December 2011 the company heldcash totalling €0.6 million. The acquisition of 60% of the share capital ofMTC took place for a total cash payment of €3.0 million. The sellers areentitled to dispose of the remaining 40% from the date of approval of the2014 financial statements until the date of approval of the 2025 financialstatements.

The operations of Galtech and MTC are highly synergic with respect to thebusiness of the Interpump Group's Hydraulic Division. In this context, itshould be noted that Interpump Hydraulics S.p.A., a 100% owned subsidiaryof Interpump Group S.p.A, is the world leader in power take-offs for industrialvehicles and through the acquisitions of Galtech and MTC, it has strengthenedits market position, broadening its product offering.

On 2 November 2011 the Group acquired the remaining 49% of thesubsidiary AVI S.r.l. for €1,350 thousand, of which €270 thousand paidat the same time as the acquisition of the holdings with the remainder tobe settled in four annual instalments of €270 thousand each. Thereforesince that date the Group has held 100% of AVI s.r.l..

An outline agreement was signed on 21 December 2011 for the acquisitionof Takarada. This transaction was closed on 15 February 2012. Takarada,with registered office in Caxias do Sul (Brazil – the state of Rio Grande doSul ), is a leading manufacturer and seller of power take-offs and relatedhydraulic components for industrial vehicles. In 2011 the company recordedsales of 17.9 million Reais (€8.0 million) and EBITDA of 3.3 million Reais(€1.5 million), equivalent to 18.6% of sales. Acquisition of 100% of theshare capital of Takarada occurred for a total cash payment of 29.0 millionReais (€12.9 million), including received financial indebtedness. The businessof Takarada is highly synergic with respect to the business of the InterpumpGroup's Hydraulic Division. With the acquisition of Takarada, the InterpumpGroup lays the groundwork for substantial growth of the Hydraulic Sectorin Brazil, currently on the verge of allocating significant funds to thedevelopment of infrastructure in the coming years, also thanks to its selectionas the host of forthcoming top international sporting events (Football WorldCup and the Olympics).

In addition, a new company, Interpump Hydraulics Middle East FZCO withregistered office in Dubai, was incorporated on 19 December 2011. Thecompany, which is held in the measure of 50% by Interpump HydraulicsS.p.A. and 50% by HS Penta S.p.A., was created with the aim of obtaininga local distributor able to achieve more effective market penetration. Theincorporation of this company forms part of the Group's strategy of growthin areas with the greatest potential and fastest rate of development.

On 26 September 2011 Interpump Group divested its 70% stake inUnielectric, a company active in the production of windings and electricmotors for a price of €3.5 million. This amount was paid in cash on theexecution date in the quantity of one third (€1.2 million) while a furtherthird will be paid within 15 December 2012 and the final third will besettled within 15 December 2013. The extended payments are secured bybank guarantees. Unielectric was sold because Interpump Group no longerconsidered the investment to be strategic in the framework of the businesssectors of the Group, which is currently focused in the Industrial Sector (highand very high-pressure water pumps) and the Hydraulic Sector (power take-offs, hydraulic pumps, cylinders and other hydraulic components). With thesale of Unielectric the Interpump Group has therefore withdrawn from theElectric Motors Sector. The sale, which complied with the requirements ofIFRS 5 and the most recent orientations of international accounting principles,has been represented in this report as a Discontinued Operation and itis the only one of its kind in the period.

PROFITABILITY

Continuing operations

It should be noted that the income statement for 2011 reflects various non-recurring revenues and costs which largely offset each otherso EBITDA and EBIT were unaffected. Non-recurring income took the form of a capital gain of €1.2 million included under OtherOperating Revenues and related to the sale of a building classified under assets held for sale. Non-recurring costs were composed ofallocations of extraordinary amount although not of exceptional nature, made to the allowance for inventories and to the bad debtprovision on the basis of prudential evaluations of certain specific contingencies. The allocations to the allowance for inventories howeverhad a negative impact on the gross industrial margin in the measure of 0.2 percentage points, which were subsequently recovered interms of EBIT and EBITDA.

The cost of sales accounted for 62.4% of turnover (62.5% in 2010). Production costs totalled €102.3 million (€90.1 million in 2010),equivalent to 21.7% of sales (22.7% in 2010). The purchase costs of raw materials and components sourced on the market, includingchanges in inventories, totalled €192.4 million (€159.4 million in 2010). The incidence of purchase costs, including changes ininventories, was 40.7% compared to 39.8% in 2010. The effects of the consolidation of American Mobile are not significant.

On a like for like basis distribution costs rose by 12.3% with respect to 2010, while the relative incidence on sales fell by 0.4 percentagepoints.

General and administrative expenses rose by 0.5% like for like with respect to 2010, although their incidence on sales fell by 2.1percentage points. In 2010 general and administrative expenses were influenced by the recognition of costs for stock options relativeto the fourth tranche of the 2006/2009 plan (allocation of 1,100,000 options exercisable from 1 July 2010) and the recalculation ofthe exercise prices of options already allocated in prior years and not yet exercised, further to the share capital increase. The foregoingcosts of a one-off basis totalled €1.2 million. General and administrative expenses, net of the said non-recurring one-off amount were2.4% higher than in 2010, like for like.

Overall payroll costs of continuing operations were €106.7 million (€98.1 million in 2010) for an average headcount is 2,439 (therewere 2,349 employees of companies within continuing operations, hence excluding Unielectric, in 2010; the figure rises to 2,492 ifUnielectric is included). The increase in the average number of employees is due, in the number of 38, to the consolidation of AmericanMobile, which was not present in 2010. For calculation of the average number we draw your attention to the fact that the employeesof American Mobile were considered only for the period of consolidation and hence by three quarters. On a like for like basis payrollcosts were up by 7.4%, with an increase of 53 in the number of personnel (+2.2%) and a 5.0% increase in the average per-capitacost. The increase in the average headcount can be broken down as follows: -17 in Europe, +63 in the US (of which 38 due to theconsolidation of American Mobile, so the increase was 25 staff on a like for like basis) and +45 in the Rest of the World (China, India,Chile and Australia). The increase in the per-capita cost is due to the reduced recourse to social shock absorbers, the greater use ofovertime to cope with higher sales volumes, and also contractual salary raises and bonus awards for the achievement of targets.

EBITDA stood at €94.7 million or 20.0% of sales, compared to the €73.9 million of 2010 which accounted for 18.5% of sales (+28.0%and +26.6% on a like for like basis). The following table shows EBITDA for each business sector:

10.

On a like for like basis Hydraulic Sector EBITDA totalled €31.8 million (14.1% of sales), up by 34.7% compared to 2010.

EBIT totalled €75.7 million or 16.0% of sales, compared to the €54.9 million in 2010 (13.7% of sales), reflecting an increase of 37.9%.EBIT was up by 36.3% like for like, reaching €74.8 million (16.0% of sales).

The tax rate for 2011 was 34.5% compared to the 2010 rate of 39.6%. The reduction is due to the greater profitability that is reflectedin a lower incidence of IRAP and the recognition of deferred tax assets, hitherto unallocated, on tax losses of 1.4 million further tolegislative amendments in the realm of IRES corporate income tax introduced in Italy in relation to the tax treatment of corporate losses,which in the Group resulted in a change in the evaluation of the probability of being able to make use of said tax savings in the future.

At the end of 2011 net profit from continuing operations stood at €43.6 million, equivalent to 9.2% of sales (€27.7 million in 2010),reflecting an increase of 57.5%. Basic earnings per share are up by 56.6% at €0.451 (€0.288 in 2010). No atypical and/or unusualtransactions were carried out in 2011.

Discontinued operations

The capital loss on discontinued operations of €1.1 million, including ancillary expenses associated with the sale, is relative to thedisposal of the investment in Unielectric. Therefore, consolidated net profit totalled 42.6 million euro.

Net liquidity from operating activities of continuing operations stood at €60.5 million, compared to the €54.4 million in 2010,reflecting a rise of 11.1%. Free cash flow of continuing operations was €31.0 million, compared to the €56.8 million of 2010. In2011 a total of €21.4 million from commercial working capital was absorbed by continuing operations due to the steep growthrecorded in the period. We draw your attention to the fact that working capital had been greatly reduced in both 2009 and 2010.The absorption of liquidity was caused primarily by the increase in volumes; customer payment days are substantially in line withthe same parameter in 2010, while inventory days have actually decreased. Working capital of continuing operations was higherin percentage terms, in line with the rise in sales.

At 31 December 2011 all financial covenants had been amply complied with.

The net cash position breaks down as follows:

The Group also has contractual commitments for the purchase of residual interests in subsidiaries totalling €19.0 million (€21.6 millionat 31/12/2010). In target company acquisition processes it is Group strategy to purchase majority packages, signing purchasecommitments for the residual stakes, the price of which is set in accordance with the results that the company is able to achieve in thesubsequent years, thus guaranteeing on the one hand continuation of the historic company management and on the other hand maximizingthe goal of increasing profitability.

The situation at 31 December was as follows:

On April 2008 a commitment was entered into for the acquisition of an additional 12% in Hydroven S.r.l., to be paid partly in cashand partly with an extended payment in fixed instalments. €210 thousand was paid in 2011, while the final portion will be paid in2012.

On 2 November 2011 the Group acquired the remaining 49% of the subsidiary AVI S.r.l. for €1,350 thousand, of which €270 thousandpaid at the same time as the acquisition of the holdings with the remainder to be settled in four annual instalments of €270 thousandeach. The debt was discounted to current value to take account of the time factor.

The contract for the acquisition of an 80% stake in American Mobile envisages the purchase of the remaining 20% in April of 2016on the basis of the results achieved by the company in the two preceding years. We therefore proceeded to estimate the expected debton the basis of a business plan. The debt was discounted to current value to take account of the time factor.

Commitments for the purchase of shares of Interpump Hydraulics International S.p.A. refer to the valuation of the put options recognizedfor minority shareholders of the company, which allow them to sell their holdings to Interpump Hydraulics S.p.A. on the basis of a pricethat will depend on the results achieved in the two years prior to the sale. We therefore proceeded to evaluate this commitment on thebasis of a business plan. Debts for the acquisition of investments were discounted to current value taking into account the time factor.The change compared to 31/12/2010 is due to the revision of the business plans and the early exercise of several options on theshares of Interpump Hydraulics International, which were originally exercisable with the approval of the financial statements at 31December 2011. In compliance with the terms of the new agreement, the options were exercised on 6 September 2011. In return for11% of the capital of Interpump Hydraulics International S.p.A. 1,074,286 shares of Interpump Group S.p.A. were transferred to theshareholders in question. The value of the options, established on the basis of the original agreement calculated in accordance withthe average of Interpump Hydraulics International's consolidated results for 2010 and 2011 and in the eventuality that the option beexercised at the first useful exercise date, totalled €5.2 million on 6 September 2011; the treasury shares assigned in payment, valuedat the average price at which the shares were purchased by Interpump Group S.p.A., totalled €4.7 million. After execution of theagreement the Group holds 81.61% of Interpump Hydraulics International.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Expenditure in property, plant and equipment totalled €16.5 million, of which €0.6 million through the acquisition of American Mobile(€9.8 million in 2010). We point out that the companies belonging to the very-high pressure systems segment record machinerymanufactured and hired out to customers under tangible fixed assets (€3.7 million at 31/12/2011 and €2.2 million at 31/12/2010).Net of these latter amounts and expenditure related to the acquisition of equity investments, actual capital expenditure stood at €12.2million in 2011 (€7.6 million at 31/12/2010) and refers to the normal renewal and modernization of plant, machinery and equipment.The difference with respect to the expenditure recorded in the cash flow statement is due to the dynamics of payments.

Increases in intangible fixed assets were €3.8 million, of which €1.0 million through the acquisition of American Mobile (€2.3 millionin 2010), and they mainly refer to expenditure for the development of new products, while the increases of American Mobile are mainlyrelated to the enhancement of the trademark deriving from the acquisition of a line of business.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Research and Design Centre (Interpump Engineering S.r.l.), set up to centralize design and development of new products in highpressure pumps, hydraulic pumps and hydraulic components, completed a new family of high pressure pumps and a new family ofhydraulic pumps in 2011, in addition to two new valves. There are also several projects currently underway to design new high andvery-high pressure pumps, valves for the industrial sector, and hydraulic pumps. Research and development was conducted primarilywithin Interpump Hydraulics for the Hydraulic Sector and in Hammelmann for very high pressure pumps and systems.

Group strategy over the next few years is to continue with high levels of expenditure in the area of research and development in orderto impart renewed impetus to structured growth. Research costs have been capitalized in accordance with their multi-annual usefulness.The development costs capitalized in 2011 amount to €/000 2,434 (€/000 2,044 in 2010), while the costs charged to the incomestatement were €/000 6,846 (€/000 6,825 in 2010).

COMPAN IES IN THE GROUP 11.

Business sector information is supplied with reference to operating sectors. We also present the information required by IFRS bygeographical area. Information on operating sectors reflects the Group’s internal reporting structure.

The value of components and products transferred between sectors is generally the effective sales price between Group companiesand corresponds to the best customer sale prices.

Sector information includes directly attributable costs and costs allocated on the basis of reasonable estimates. The holding costs(remuneration of directors, auditors and functions of the Group's financial management, control and internal auditing, and also consultancycosts and other related costs) were ascribed to the sectors on the basis of sales.

BUSINESS SECTORS

The Group is composed of the following business sectors:

Hydraulic Sector

. Mainly composed of high and very high-pressure pumps and pumping systems used in a wide range of industrial sectors for theconveyance of fluids. High-pressure plunger pumps are the main component of professional high-pressure washers. These pumps arealso utilized for a broad range of industrial applications including car wash installations, forced lubrication systems for machine tools,and inverse osmosis systems for water desalination plants. Very high-pressure pumps and systems are used for cleaning surfaces, ships,various types of pipes, and also for removing machining burr, cutting and removing cement, asphalt, and paint coatings from stone,cement and metal surfaces, and for cutting solid materials. Marginally, this sector also includes operations of drawing, shearing andpressing sheet metal and the manufacture and sale of cleaning machinery.

Industrial Sector

Includes the production and sale of power take-offs, hydraulic cylinders, pumps, and other hydraulic components. Power take-offs aremechanical devices designed to transmit drive from an industrial vehicle engine or transmission to power a range of ancillary servicesthrough hydraulic components. These products, combined with other hydraulic components (spool valves, controls, etc.) allow theexecution of special functions such as lifting tipping bodies, moving truck-mounted cranes, operating mixer truck drums, and so forth.Hydraulic cylinders are components of the hydraulic system of various vehicle types, utilized in a wide range of applications dependingon the type. Front-end and underbody cylinders (single acting) are utilized mainly on industrial vehicles in the construction sector, whiledouble acting cylinders are utilized in a range of applications: earthmoving machinery, agricultural machinery, cranes and truck cranes,waste compactors, etc.
