After two years of economic upturn, the deterioration in the environment led to wide disparities by geography and sector from the second half of 2011, a trend that has been confirmed since then. In Europe, there is a definite slowdown in demand in construction and industrial production, with Northern European countries less affected overall; in North America, the improvement in the economy was particularly reflected in a rise in durable consumption (construction, automotive sectors, etc.); in main emerging countries, the growth outlook now appears more limited.
Over the first half, the euro continued to depreciate, while inflation in factor costs (raw materials, energy) was more moderate than in the same period the previous year.
In this context, the Group revenue increased + 9.8% compared to 1st half 2011 and the operating margin holds well to 13.4%. The net income from current operations increased + 5.5%.
In the 2nd half 2012, Imerys continued to implement its internal and external development strategy in order to increase its growth potential.
Production capacity at the Willebroek carbon plant (Belgium, Graphite & Carbon activity) was increased to serve the dynamic Lithium-ion battery market.
In Brazil, the Group strengthened its Performance Minerals offering with the acquisition of Itatex, a company that designs and markets kaolin and clay-based specialties for paint, polymers and rubber. In addition, Imerys also decided to value its Brazilian reserves of calcium carbonates by launching the construction of a lime processing plant. The Group will therefore expand its offering to iron and steel, paper, chemistry, environment, agriculture and construction sectors, in line with the sharp growth in local demand.
In the Middle-East, the project for the building of a fused alumina plant was launched in Bahrain following the incorporation of the joint-venture. This production unit, which should be in operation by the end of 2013, will be the Group's first industrial facility in the region.

Revenue for the 1st half of 2012 totaled €1,986.2, taking into account:
Compared with the 1st half of 2011, the - 1.5% decrease at comparable Group structure and exchange rates takes into account a historically high basis of comparison. Last year, the Group's first half sales were up + 12.2% compared with 1st half 2010, thanks to a sharp upturn in business and favorable weather conditions.
In this context, sales decreased - 5.2% in the first half compared with the same period in 2011 (- €93.5 million). The basis of comparison was particularly unfavorable in the second quarter for the Minerals for Ceramics, Refractories, Abrasives & Foundry business group. The expected downturn on the French new housing market is now reflected in the Building Materials activity's sales volumes, which were also affected by poor weather conditions in 2012. The product price/mix improved + 3.7% (+ €67.0 million), reflecting the efforts made on this point in every business group.
Revenue in the second quarter of 2012 at comparable structure and exchange rates (€896 million) is slightly above revenue for the previous quarter (€885 million).

In the 1st half of 2012, the change in sales by geographic destination results from two main factors: a significant Group structure effect relating to the acquisition of the Luzenac Group (mainly present in Europe and North America) on one hand, and the depreciation of the euro, which was particularly significant in the second quarter, on the other hand. Excluding Group structure effect, sales in Western Europe decreased, while they picked up in North America and in emerging countries.
Revenue in Western Europe represents 47% of consolidated revenue, with a large majority in Northern countries, and an exposure to Southern European countries (Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain) below 7%.

At €266.2 million, current operating income takes the following items into account:
At comparable structure and exchange rates, the decrease in current operating income was limited to - 6.4% in relation to a high basis of comparison in the 1st half of 2011 (current operating income had increased + 20.8% vs. 1st half 2010).
The + €63.0 million improvement in product price and mix offsets the rise in variable costs (- €40.8 million vs. the same period the previous year), mainly due to inflation in some raw materials, energy factors (except gas in the USA) and freight. The impact of lower sales volumes totals - €44.0 million compared with the 1st half of 2011. While continuing its development program, Imerys kept its fixed costs at the same level as the 1st half of 2011.
Consequently, the Group's operating margin was 13.4%, despite the significant decrease in volumes, particularly in the Building Materials activity.
Net income from current operations rose + 5.5% to €165.6 million (compared with €157.0 million in 1st half 2011). This increase reflects the rise in current operating income and factors in the following items:
The + €7.0 million increase in the Group's share of net income to €161.9 million takes into account other operating revenue and expense, net of tax (- €3.7 million).

| * including subsidies, value of divested assets and misc. | 2.7 | 2.3 |
At 22.5% of annualized sales in the last quarter (7) , operating working capital requirement is under control.
The increase in booked capital expenditure, which amounts to €97.8 million in the 1st half 2012 (i.e. 89% of depreciation expense vs. 83% in 1st half 2011), reflects the Group's continuation of its development projects. Details of the main projects are given under each business group.
Thanks to the improvement in income, good control of working capital and targeted capital expenditure, Imerys generated a current free operating cash flow of €128.7 million in the 1st half of 2012, up + €16 million compared to 1st half 2011.

The Group's consolidated net financial debt and financial ratios are stable compared with December 31, 2011. High generation of current free cash flow enabled it to fund the payout of €112.7 million in dividends on May 9, 2012, in addition to €0.6 million in dividends paid to minority shareholders of subsidiaries.
To increase and diversify its financial resources while extending their average maturity, in the second-half of 2011, the Group secured more approximately one billion euros in bilaterals through to 2015-2016. As of June 30, 2012, Imerys' total financial resources totaled €2.8 billion (of which €1.4 billion in non-cash available financial resources), with average maturity 3.3 years. The Group has therefore a sound financial structure and a greater financial flexibility.
(7) This ratio takes into account the Factoring contract signed on July 23, 2009 under which transferred receivables are deconsolidated, with the risks and benefits related to receivables transferred to the factor bank. €75 million in receivables were factored as of June 30, 2012.

Olivier Hautin, previously in charge of the Pigments for Paper & Packaging business group, was tasked with managing the Minerals for Ceramics, Refractories, Abrasives & Foundry business group, which Gilles Michel had been running since July 1, 2011. The results of the Pigments for Paper & Packaging business group are now the responsibility of Dan Moncino, who continues to run the Performance & Filtration Minerals business group. This change will enable the two business groups to pool some common assets, resources and skills, in particular.
Imerys' operating organization and reporting in four business groups are unchanged, as is the composition of the Executive Committee.
The half-year consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 were closed by the Board of Directors at its meeting on July 26, 2012. No significant event is to be reported between the closing date and that of the Board of Directors.
The trends observed in the 1st half of 2012 are likely to continue in the coming months with a macroeconomic and financial environment still marked by high disparities by both geography and sector:
In the second half, the new proppant unit, which is now in operation, will contribute fully to the Group's performance. Imerys will also benefit from a gradually more favorable basis of comparison and the quality of its business model: greater resilience thanks to the diversity of its business portfolio, wider geographic presence, effectiveness of measures set up from autumn 2011 (targeted capital expenditure, management of costs and working capital requirements, soundness of its financial structure).
In this context, Imerys is confident in its ability to maintain, for full year 2012, a level of net income from current operations at least comparable to the previous year. The Group will keep up its development capital expenditure and research projects in order to support its future organic growth.

In the 1st half 2012, demand from refractory industries dropped in Western Europe, following the decrease in steel production (- 4.6% compared with 1st half 2011 – source World Steel Association). This trend is translated in Minerals for Refractories activity and, in a lesser extent, into some Fused Minerals and Graphite & Carbon businesses. This slump has been partially compensated by the dynamism of domestic demand in North America (+ 7.6% increase in steel production). Activity in Graphite & Carbon segment was firm, particularly due to the growth of Lithium-ion batteries.
Conventional markets for Ceramics (sanitaryware, tiles) were also supported by strong demand in the United States, whereas activity remained weak in Southern Europe. Technical ceramics (specialty products for the automotive sector, etc.) continued to grow, while demand for high purity quartz was still slack along the first-half of 2012.
The business group continued to implement its internal development policy through new capital projects. Capacity doubling project at the carbon plant in Willebroek (Belgium) has been launched to support growing demand for Lithium-ion batteries. The project should come on stream by the end of 2013.
Geographic expansion continues with the launch of an industrial construction project in Bahrain for a fused alumina plant within the context of a joint venture. This unit should be in operation in late 2013. Fused alumina serves a wide range of applications: abrasives, refractories, sandblasting operations, thermal linings and various niche markets.
In the 1st half, the ceramic proppant plant built in Georgia (USA) in 2011 came on stream as planned and should progressively ramp up during the second half. Proppants are used to keep rock fractures open in non-conventional oil and gas field operation, which have substantial growth prospects in the United States.
The business group's revenue totaled €621.1 million for the 1st half of 2012, up + €20.0 million compared with the 1st half of 2011. An analysis of the variance shows:
At comparable Group structure and exchange rates, revenue decreased - 2.8% compared to the 1st half 2011, which benefited from an upturn in activity (+ 18.1% rise of business group's revenue at comparable Group structure and exchange rates effect between 1 st half 2010 and 1st half 2011). The positive trend in product prices and mix partly offset the decrease in volumes, in particular in Minerals for Refractories and Fused Minerals. The other activities held better.
(9) At comparable structure and exchange rates.
(10) Operating income before other operating revenue and expenses.
Current operating income totaled €81.6 million. It factors in a +€4.5 million exchange rate effect and a +€0.6 million structure effect.
At comparable structure and exchange rates, the decrease in income reflects lower sales volumes, which were partly offset by a slight reduction in fixed costs. The improvement in the product price/mix component was greater than inflation in variable costs (in particular for zircon purchases: despite stabilization in 2012, zircon price was still higher compared to 1st half 2011). The ramp up of proppants unit during the 1st half 2012 weighed on the business group profitability.

In the 1st half of 2012, trends varied widely on the markets served by the Performance & Filtration business group. Demand grew slightly in fast-moving consumer sectors (food, health, beauty, pharmaceuticals, etc.). In intermediate industries (polymers, rubber, filtration, catalysis, coatings, etc.), the momentum was positive overall in emerging countries. In North America, the continued economic upturn favored the automotive and construction sectors. New housing starts rose sharply (annualized trend in 2nd quarter 2012: + 28% - source: Census Bureau) and renovation spending increased. In Northern Europe, activity was firm in the construction sector; automotive production held out well in Germany and grew significantly in Great Britain. Business remained slack in Southern Europe.
In that context, the business group continued its geographic expansion with the acquisition in Brazil of Itatex, a family firm specialized in processing and marketing industrial minerals (particularly kaolin). Itatex posted a 24 million Brazilian real in revenue for 2011 (€10 million) and employs 115 people in a production site in Campinas (Sao Paulo state). Through this acquisition, the Group is stepping up its presence in Brazil and developing its range for the paint, polymer and rubber sectors, for which local demand is growing sharply.
In 2012, capital expenditure for internal growth was allocated to the creation of a complete production line for Celite Cynergy™, which the market launch confirmed its great potential for brewers customers. This registered product is an innovative agent, which enables edible liquids such as beer to be filtered and stabilized in one production step. The new capacity, built on Lompoc site (California, United States), should be operational at the end of 2012.
In Malaysia, the business group launched a new production unit for Filmlink™, a registered specialty made of calcium carbonate, and which brings an improved strength and a controlled porosity to polymer films. Those properties are particularly useful in hygiene products for babies. Built on the Ipoh site, this production line will ramp up in the 3rd quarter to serve the dynamic Asian market.
The Talc activity is now integrated and has confirmed its growth and innovation potential on diverse markets (plastics & polymers, paint, paper, technical ceramics, personal care & beauty). As announced, sales have been assigned to each of the relevant business groups in 2012.

Revenue totaled €455.0 million in the 1st half of 2012. The + €152.2 million increase takes into account:
At comparable Group structure and exchange rates, the increase in revenue (+ €13.9 million) reflects growth in volumes, driven by demand in North America, and the significant rise in the product price/mix component.
Current operating income, at €60.8 million, increased by + €21.7 million. It includes a positive Group structure effect of + €17.8 million and a favorable foreign exchange effect of + €2.6 million. At comparable structure and exchange rates the rise was + 2.8%, with the price/mix component easily offsetting higher costs.

Over the first six months of 2012, global production of printing and writing paper was stable (- 0.7% compared with the 1st half of 2011). The soundness of emerging countries (+ 4.3%) offsets the downturn observed in mature regions where shut-downs of paper-making capacities were carried out to adapt production levels to demand. In North America and to a lesser extent in Europe, these rationalizations, which suggest demand will stabilize at its current level, significantly affected output over the past 12 months. In packaging segments, the trend remained more favorable.
In addition to mine overburden and maintenance operations, capital expenditure particularly concerned the project to build a lime processing unit in Brazil. Produced from calcium carbonate reserves operated by the Group in the country (Desoropolis, Minas Geiras), lime is a mineral that is used in various forms in the steel, paper, chemistry, environment, agriculture and construction industries.
In that context, revenue, at €429.5 million in the 1st half of 2012, rose + €23.9 million compared with the 1st half of 2011. This change takes into account:
At comparable Group structure and exchange rates, revenue decreased - 3.1% compared with 1st half 2011. The improvement in product prices and mix did not offset the decrease in volumes.
Current operating income totaled €42.5 million in the 1st half of 2012 (+ €1.5 million compared with 1st half 2011) and takes into account a favorable foreign exchange effect of + €1.5 million. At comparable Group structure and exchange rates, the business group's income decrease (- 5.9%) reflects the slow-down in volumes.

The Refractory Solutions activity (57% of the Materials & Monolithics business group's total sales) held out well in the 1st half of 2012 despite the slump in steelmaking in Europe. It benefited from the good performance of Asian markets and the robustness of other segments (foundry, petrochemicals, power generation, etc.) as well as project activity (revamping, capacity extensions or construction of new plants).
In the single-family housing construction and renovation sector in France, the slump in new house sales observed for almost a year gradually led to a decrease in building permits. It has now passed through to construction starts, which fell - 8% over 12 rolling months.
In that context, six-monthly sales of clay products for the trade as a whole (17) decreased - 13% for bricks and - 10% for roof tiles compared with the 1st half of 2011, which was a very high basis of comparison (catch-up effect). The renovation segment held well. It should be remembered that the entire trade was affected by adverse weather conditions in the 1st quarter of 2012.
In the 1st half of 2012, the business group's capital expenditure was limited to the maintenance of industrial assets.
At €509.1 million, the business group's revenue (- €16.1 million compared with 1st half 2011) includes the limited, negative effect of exchange rates (- €0.4 million). At comparable structure and exchange rates, revenue decreased - 3.0%, reflecting the downturn in Building Materials. Monolithic Refractories activity improved.
The Materials & Monolithics business group's current operating income was €105.1 million. Structure and exchange rates had negligible effect. The product price/mix effect covered the rise in variable costs (energy and some refractory materials) and the setup of cost control measures allowed the business group to maintain an operating margin above 20%.

The net financial debt is the net position of Imerys towards the market and the financial institutions, i.e. the total of financing liabilities subscribed towards the market and the financial institutions in the form of bonds, bank credits and finance leases, decreased by cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The net financial debt is used in the management of the financial resources of the Group. This indicator is used in particular in the calculation of financial ratios that Imerys has to comply with under financing agreements entered into with financial markets (Note 21.4 - Borrower's liquidity risk). The link between this indicator and the statement of financial position is presented in Note 21.2.
The following notes present the change in the net financial debt in two steps:
The current free operating cash flow is the residual cash flow resulting from current operating business and remaining after payment of current operating income taxes and operating capital expenditure, receipt of the disposal proceeds of operating assets and adjustment from cash changes in operational working capital requirement.

The reported segments correspond to the four business groups of Imerys: Performance & Filtration Minerals (PFM); Pigments for Paper & Packaging (PPP); Materials & Monolithics (M&M) and Minerals for Ceramics, Refractories, Abrasives & Foundry (CRAF). Each of these segments is engaged in the production and rendering of related goods and services presenting geological, industrial and commercial synergies and results from the aggregation of the Cash-Generating Units followed each month by the Executive Management in its business reporting. The Executive Management considers that the holding structures dedicated to the centralized financing of the Group are no segments. Their aggregates are thus presented in a reconciliation column with intersegment eliminations (IS&H).
Revenue from transactions of Imerys with each of its external customers never exceeds a threshold of 10.0% of the Group's revenue.

The June 30, 2012 1st half financial statements are intended to provide an update on the complete set of annual financial statements as of December 31, 2011 compliant with IFRSs adopted within the European Union (hereafter "the Referential"). They are established in a condensed form in compliance with IAS 34 (interim financial information) and do not include all disclosures for a complete set of financial statements as published for the annual closing. They shall thus be reviewed in relation with the Group annual financial statements published as of December 31, 2011. The adoption process within the European Union may create temporary time-lags at the closing date between the Referential and IFRSs. However, in absence of temporary time-lags on texts concerning the Group as of June 30, 2012, there is for Imerys no difference at that date between the Referential and IFRSs. The financial statements have been closed on July 26, 2012 by the Board of Directors of Imerys SA, the Parent Company of the Group.
Imerys is not applying any text by anticipation in 2012. In 2011, the Group had applied by anticipation the amendments to IAS 1 on the presentation of other comprehensive income.
The following text does not concern the transactions, events or conditions existing within the Group: Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Transfers of Financial Assets.
Imerys is not performing any voluntary change in accounting policies in 2012. In 2011, the Group had changed its recognition policy of post-employment employee benefits actuarial differences by the option, in the framework of the current standard, for the immediate recognition of the entire actuarial differences in equity with no subsequent reclassification in profit or loss.
On the basis of the last projected adoption agenda of IFRSs within the European Union dated July 17, 2012 published by the EFRAG (European Financial Reporting Advisory Group), Imerys will apply the following texts after June 30, 2012.
The following texts, whose adoption process within the European Union is in progress as of June 30, 2012, do not concern the transactions, events or conditions existing within the Group: Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes: Deferred Tax - Recovery of Underlying Assets; Amendments to IFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters.
Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits. These retrospectively applicable amendments will bring three main changes to the recognition of post-employment employee benefits: immediate recognition of the entire actuarial differences in equity with no subsequent reclassification in profit or loss; immediate recognition in profit or loss, upon amendment of a plan, of the entire past service cost; and suppression of the notion of expected return on plan assets in profit or loss, replaced by a normative return whose rate will be equal, irrespective of the investment strategy, to the discount rate of the obligation, the excess of the actual return over this normative return being immediately credited in equity with no subsequent reclassification in profit or loss. Imerys will however be concerned only by the two last changes, the entire actuarial differences of post-employment employee benefits being immediately recognized in equity in accordance with the voluntary change in accounting method performed in 2011 (Note 2.2). On the basis of reasonably estimable information, the possible impact of the change in accounting policy on the consolidated equity of the first comparative period is presented hereafter. Debit adjustments are negative and credit adjustments are positive.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. This standard defines fair value as the exit price of an asset or liability and imposes the methodology applicable to its determination as well as disclosures (Notes 21.1 and 21.3). IFRS 13 is not defining the circumstances under which the use of fair value is required, this remaining provided by the applicable standards.
Improvements to IFRSs (May 2012). This continuous project provides amendments necessary to existing texts.
IFRIC 20, Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine. This prospectively applicable interpretation, whose adoption process within the European Union is in progress as of June 30, 2012, clarifies the modes of recognition, measurement and presentation of overburden assets, i.e. of the accesses to a surface mine created by the removal of the top soil. This interpretation, that confirms the methods previously defined by the Executive Management in the absence of any applicable text (Note 16), will thus have no impact on the Group financial statements.
At last, the texts hereafter, whose adoption process within the European Union is in progress as of June 30, 2012, do not concern the transactions, events or conditions existing within the Group: Amendments to IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: Government Loans; Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures : Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2012, the adoption process of the following standards is in progress within the European Union.
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. This retrospectively applicable standard will replace standard IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and interpretation SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities and will confirm control as the basis for the scope of consolidation according to three components: power, exposure to the variability of returns and capacity to exercise that power to have an influence on these returns. This new standard will have no impact on the scope of consolidation. IAS 27, revised correlatively with the publication of IFRS 10, will only address separate financial statements and will thus no longer be applicable within the Group.
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. This retrospectively applicable standard will replace standard IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures and interpretation SIC 13, Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers and will suppress the current option provided by IAS 31 to recognize jointly controlled businesses either under the proportionate integration method, or under the equity method. In the new standard, only the equity method will be allowed. IAS 28 is revised correlatively with the publication of IFRS 11. These new rules will have no impact at Imerys where the proportionate integration method is not used.
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. This standard is intended to improve the disclosures on the entities over which the Group exercises control, joint control or significant influence.
At last, the text hereafter, whose adoption process within the European Union is in progress as of June 30, 2012, does not concern the transactions, events or conditions existing within the Group: Amendments to IAS 32: Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
As of June 30, 2012, the adoption process of the following standard is in progress within the European Union.
IFRS 9 (Phase 1), Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. As of July 26, 2012, the date at which the financial statements are closed by the Board of Directors, the EFRAG has not communicated any indicative adoption date for this text. On its side the IASB has required in the amendment to IFRS 9 described hereafter a mandatory application as of January 1, 2015. Imerys shall thus apply this text at this date at the latest, on condition of its prior adoption within the European Union. On this same condition, the Group could decide to apply it by anticipation before January 1, 2015. This text represents the first step of a reform intended to simplify IAS 39. This first amendment reduces the number of categories of financial instruments by focusing on the two measurement bases that are fair value and amortized cost. This amendment shall modify the classification of information disclosed in Notes 9, 10, 19 and 21.1 without impacting the recognition and measurement rules of financial instruments. These rules shall however be modified as part of an amendments project in progress as of June 30, 2012: impairment losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost (Phase 2) and hedge accounting (Phase 3).
Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures. These amendments state in particular the disclosures that enable to understand the bridge, at the adoption date of standard IFRS 9, between the old and new financial instruments categories and the old and new measurement rules for the financial instruments held at that date.
Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. These amendments state in particular that the entities that will adopt IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2015 will not have to restate any comparative period. At that date, the bridge between the old and new financial instruments categories will be explained, as a result of the amendments to IFRS 7, by the disclosures provided in the notes and the difference, between the old and new valuations of the financial instruments held at that date, will be recognized as an adjustment of the consolidated equity as of January 1, 2015.

Financial instruments result from contracts whose execution symmetrically creates a financial asset of one party to the contract and a financial liability or an equity instrument of the other party. Financial instruments are related to one of the following categories: "Available-for-sale financial assets" (investments in non-consolidated entities), "Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss" (marketable securities and derivatives not eligible to hedge accounting), "Loans and receivables" (trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents), or "Financial liabilities at amortized cost (bonds, bank loans, trade payables, bank overdrafts).
Hedge derivatives are disclosed in a separate column since the exceptional character of hedge accounting excludes any relation to one of the above categories. Notes 9, 10, 19 and 21.1 present disclosures on financial instruments in accordance with these categories. The classification logic of financial instrument assets (Note 19) and liabilities (Note 21.1) transversally applies to their changes in profit or loss (Notes 9 and 10). For example, "Revenue" is attached to "Amortized cost" as its counterparts in "Trade receivables" or "Cash and cash equivalents" belong to that category in the assets. In addition, in order to enable the reconciliation between the disclosures and the financial statements, these notes include a column "Non IAS 39" that includes the following items:
The tables hereafter disclose the income and expenses before income taxes recognized in profit or loss and equity by categories of financial instruments. The balances of "Other financial revenue" and "Other financial expenses" are further analyzed in Note 10.

The number of potential ordinary shares taken into account in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share excludes the share options out of the money, i.e. those whose exercise price increased by the fair value of services to be rendered is superior to the period average market price of the Imerys share (€41.76 in the 1st half of 2012). Potentially dilutive options of the plans of May 2004 to April 2008 as well as those of April 2010 to April 2012 are thus excluded from the calculation of the diluted earnings per share as of June 30, 2012. No significant transaction has changed the number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares between June 30, 2012 and July 26, 2012, date of authorization of issue of the financial statements by the Board of Directors.

The goodwill recognized upon acquisitions mainly represents development prospects of the acquired businesses within Imerys. On August 1, 2011, Imerys acquired 100.00% of the group Luzenac, world leader in talc processing. This acquisition was paid in cash to the Rio Tinto group for an amount of €220.0 million. The purchase accounting has not significantly evolved since December 31, 2011. After fair value measurement of mineral reserves, property, plant and equipment and main provisions, the provisional goodwill thus amounts to €72.7 million as of June 30, 2012. Furthermore, Imerys has acquired as of May 24, 2012 100.00% of the voting rights of the Brazilian company Itatex that produces and sells specialties based upon kaolin and clay for paints, polymers and rubbers. This acquisition, paid in cash for an amount of €9.7 million generates a provisional goodwill of €10.2 million.

The impairment test on the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) performed systematically on the annual closing is only renewed on the half-year closing where an impairment loss indicator is identified. Since no impairment loss indicator has been identified, the impairment test on the CGUs is not renewed as of June 30, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, this test had required the recognition of no impairment loss of the goodwill of CGUs. The sensitivity tests performed as of December 31, 2011 (Note 19, Chapter 5 of the 2011 Registration Document) evidenced that an unfavorable evolution of forecasted cash flows, discount rates or perpetual growth rates could require the recognition of a goodwill impairment on the Fused Zircona CGU of the Minerals for Ceramics, Refractories, Abrasives & Foundry business group. As of June 30, 2012, the evolution of these assumptions does not require the recognition of any impairment. However, this CGU continues to be subject to careful surveillance.

The tables hereafter enable to evaluate the significance of financial instruments with respect to consolidated liabilities. The categories used to present the carrying amounts of financial instruments are explained in Note 9. These carrying amounts are representative of fair value for all instruments except for bonds.
The tables hereafter are followed by an analysis of the differences between carrying amount and fair value. For listed bonds, fair value qualifies as a directly observable data since it corresponds to the market value at the closing date (fair value of level 1). For unlisted bonds, fair value including accrued interests results from a model using observable data, i.e. a revaluation of discounted future contractual flows (fair value of level 2).

The net financial debt is used in the management of the financial resources of Imerys. This indicator is used in particular in the calculation of financial ratios that the Group has to comply with under financing agreements entered into with financial markets (Note 21.4 - Borrower's liquidity risk). The following table presents the link between the net financial debt and the consolidated statement of financial position with a distinction between non-derivative and derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments included in the calculation of the net financial debt correspond to financing hedge instruments assets and liabilities since they are part of the future cash outflows of this aggregate (Note 21.4 - Borrower's liquidity risk). The operational hedge instruments (Note 21.4 - Derivative instruments in the financial statements) are not included in the calculation of the net financial debt.

As part of its policy of management of the foreign exchange, interest rate and energy price risks, Imerys holds derivative instruments intended to hedge certain future purchases and sales in foreign currencies, a portion of its floating rate financing and part of its future energy consumption in the United States, in the United Kingdom and in France. These positions qualify as cash flow hedges. The following table presents the amounts before income taxes recognized in equity in this respect as well as the reclassifications in profit or loss. The detail of these reclassifications at the level of the underlying revenue and expenses is presented in Note 9. These cash flow hedges are further outlined in the context of the management of foreign exchange, interest rate and energy price risks in Note 21.4.

Description of the risk. The transactional currency risk is the risk whereby a cash flow labeled in foreign currency may be subject to a deterioration caused by an unfavorable change in its counterpart in functional currency.
Management of the risk. Imerys recommends to its operating entities to perform, to the extent it is possible, their transactions in their functional currencies. Where this is not possible, the transactional currency risk may be hedged on an individual basis by currency forwards, currency swaps and foreign exchange options. These instruments are used as hedges of highly probable budget flows. The corresponding hedges qualify as cash flow hedges.
The following table presents the amounts before income taxes recognized in equity in this respect as well as the reclassifications in profit or loss.

Description of the risk. The interest rate risk is the risk whereby the interest flow due in relation to the financial debt is deteriorated by a rise in the market interest rates.
Management of the risk. The objective of the management of the interest rate risk consists in guaranteeing its medium-term cost. The net financial debt is known through a reporting that describes the financial debt of each entity and indicates its components and characteristics. This reporting, reviewed monthly by the Financial Department and quarterly by the Board of Directors, enables the situation to be monitored and the management policy to be adjusted as necessary. The management policy is drawn up by the Group Treasury Department and approved every year by the Financial Department and the Board of Directors. As part of this process, the Group Treasury Department works with first-rank banking institutions and obtains financial data and pricing from information providers. The policy of Imerys is to obtain financing mainly in Euro, the most accessible financial resource and at a fixed rate. Medium-term fixed-rate bond issues are converted to floating rates using interest rate swaps. Given anticipated trends in interest rates in 2012, the Group fixed the interest rate for part of its future financial debt on various terms.
As of June 30, 2012, Imerys holds a certain number of derivative instruments intended to hedge a portion of its debt at floating rate. These instruments include interest rate swaps, options - including caps, floors, swaptions and futures. These instruments qualify as cash flow hedges. The following table presents the amounts before income taxes recognized in equity in this respect as well as the reclassifications in profit or loss.

Furthermore, Imerys holds as of June 30, 2012 interest rate swaps intended to hedge the exposure to changes in fair value of the different loans. These instruments qualify as fair value hedges. They hedge the risk of change in the risk-free rate and not the differential corresponding to the credit risk of the Group. The hedged loans and the derivative instruments present the same characteristics.

Description of the risk. The energy price risk is the risk whereby the cash flow due in relation to an energy purchase may be subject to a deterioration caused by a rise in its market price. Imerys is exposed to the price risk of the energies that enter into the production cycle of its activities, mainly natural gas, electricity and coal to a lesser extent.
Management of the risk. Confronted with the energy price risk, the geographical locations and supply sources of Imerys are diversified. The Group strives to pass on energy price increases to the selling price of its products. Furthermore, the management of the price risk of natural gas, both in Europe and the United States is centralized, the Group Treasury Department being responsible for implementing the framework and resources needed for the application of a common management policy, which includes appropriate use of the financial instruments available in those markets. Since 2006, the Group has strengthened its research programs on alternative energy sources as well as its projects on the reduction of energy consumption under the supervision of a Group Energy Supervisor. Since 2008, energy managers are designated at site level as well as at activity levels. The energy price risk is hedged by forward and option contracts. These instruments qualify as cash flow hedges. The following table presents the amounts before income taxes recognized in equity in this respect as well as the reclassifications in profit or loss.

Management of the risk. For part of its financing, Imerys is required to comply with several covenants. The main restrictive terms and conditions attached to certain bilateral facilities, to part of the bond issues under private placements and to the syndicated credit are as follows:
obligations in terms of financial ratio compliance:
the ratio consolidated net financial debt / consolidated equity shall, in accordance with the financing contracts concerned, be inferior or equal to 1.50 or 1.60 at each half-year or annual closing of consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2012, the ratio amounts to 0.46 (0.41 as of June 30, 2011 and 0.47 as of December 31, 2011);
the ratio consolidated net financial debt / consolidated EBITDA of the last 12 months shall, in accordance with the financing contracts concerned, be inferior or equal to 3.75 or 3.80 at each half-year or annual closing of consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2012, the ratio amounts to 1.51 (1.32 as of June 30, 2011 and 1.50 as of December 31, 2011).
absence of any lien in favor of lenders.
The failure to comply with the above obligations on one of the financing contracts concerned could lead to the cancellation of its available amount and, upon demand of the creditor(s) concerned, make the amount of the corresponding financial debt immediately callable. Apart from two exceptions, the financing contracts of the Group do not provide for any cross default with each other in case of breach of a mandatory covenant applicable to one of these contracts. As of June 30, 2012, Imerys has a long-term rating of Baa2 Outlook Stable by Moody's (Baa2 Outlook Stable as of June 30, 2011 and Baa2 Outlook Stable as of December 31, 2011).
As of April 11, 2012, Imerys has updated its new Euro Medium Term Note program (EMTN) with the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (Luxemburg). The program amounts to €1.0 billion and enables the issue of notes considered as ordinary bonds of a maturity of one month to thirty years. As of June 30, 2012, outstanding securities total €69.9 million (€60.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and €69.9 million as of December 31, 2011). Imerys also has a French commercial paper program limited to €800.0 million (€800.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and €800.0 million as of December 31, 2011) rated P-2 by Moody's (P-2 as of June 30, 2011 and P-2 as of December 31, 2011). As of June 30, 2012, outstanding securities total €128.0 million (€100.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and €98.0 million as of December 31, 2011). As of June 30, 2012, Imerys has access to €1,577.9 million of bank facilities (€1,001.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and €1,505.4 million as of December 31, 2011) part of which secures the issued commercial paper in accordance with the financial policy of the Group.
Description of the risk. The market liquidity risk is the risk whereby a non-confirmed financial resource (commercial paper, bank facility and accrued interests, other debt and facilities) would not be renewed.
Management of the risk. Financial resources are the main adjustment variable of the financing capacities available to Imerys. These capacities exist either as drawn financial debt or as financing commitments granted by first-rank banking institutions. Medium-term financial resources provided by the bilateral facilities or the syndicated credit may be used over very short drawing periods (from 1 to 12 months) while remaining available over longer maturities (5 years). Over the second half of 2011, the Group has secured around €1.0 billion of bilateral bank facilities with a maturity towards 2015-2016, so as to increase and diversify its financial resources and lengthening their maturity. The financial resources of the Group amount to €2,762.9 million as of June 30, 2012 (€2,217.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and €2,759.2 million as of December 31, 2011). Imerys manages the amount of its financial resources by comparing it regularly with the amount of its utilizations in order to measure by difference the financial liquid borrowings to which the Group may have access.
The robustness of financial resources is assessed on the basis of their amounts and average maturity as analyzed hereafter:
| (€ millions) | 06.30.2012 | 06.30.2011 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|---|

| Bank resources | 2.5 | 1.5 | 3.0 |
| Total | 3.3 | 3.3 | 3.8 |
The table below measures the available financial resources after the repayment of financing from uncommitted resources. It measures the real exposure of Imerys to an illiquidity crisis on both financial and banking markets. As of June 30, 2012, available financial resources, after repayment of uncommitted resources, total €1,390.3 million (€846.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and €1,310.2 million as of December 31, 2011), which gives the Group substantial room to maneuver and a guarantee of financial stability.

Description of the risk. The conversion of financial statements risk is a form of foreign exchange rate risk whereby the value in Euro of the financial statements of a foreign business may be subject to a deterioration caused by an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate of the functional currency of that business.
Management of the risk. Imerys hedges part of its net investments in foreign businesses through loans specifically allocated to their long term financing and by the proportion of its financial debt stated in foreign currencies. The foreign exchange differences generated by these loans and financings qualified as hedges of net investments in foreign entities, are recognized in equity so as to neutralize, to a certain extent, the gains or losses of translation of the hedged net investments. As of June 30, 2012, the loans and exchange rate swaps hedging net investments in foreign entities are the following: USD532.8 million, JPY1,000.0 million, CHF35.0 million, GBP34.3 million and SGD5.4 million (USD719.8 million, JPY1,000.0 million, CHF35.0 million, GBP0.0 million and SGD5.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and USD632.9 million, JPY1,000.0 million, CHF35.0 million, GBP34.3 million and SGD5.5 million as of December 31, 2011).

The related parties of Imerys are the Canadian group Power and the Belgian group Frère-CNP. These groups are the ultimate controlling parties of Imerys. Through their joint venture Parjointco, they exercise joint control on the Swiss group Pargesa that controls Imerys through a direct investment in the Belgian group GBL. In this respect, Pargesa and GBL are related parties of Imerys. Imerys is not party to any contract with its external related parties.
The managers qualifying as related parties as of June 30, 2012 are the sixteen members of the Board of Directors (sixteen members as of June 30, 2011 and sixteen members as of December 31, 2011) and the seven members of the Executive Committee (nine members as of June 30, 2011 and seven members as of December 31, 2011) (Note 29, Chapter 5 of the 2011 Registration Document).
The post-employment benefit plans for the benefit of Imerys employees are related parties. The amount of the contributions to external funds recognized as an expense over the 1st half of 2012 amounts to €14.6 million (€10.5 million over the 1st half of 2012 and €24.8 million in 2011), of which mainly €5.6 million to Imerys UK Pension Fund Trustees Ltd., United Kingdom (€6.8 million over the 1st half of 2012 and €14.2 million in 2011) and €5.6 million to Sun Trust Bank, United States (€2.0 million over the 1st half of 2011 and €6.4 million in 2011).
The FCPE Imerys Actions is managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management SAS. Its management is controlled by a Supervisory Board of 14 members, equally made up of shareholders' and Imerys representatives. As Imerys exercises together with the shareholders a joint control over the FCPE Imerys Actions, the FCPE Imerys Actions is a related party. The amounts recognized over the 1st half of 2012 (over the 1st half of 2011 and in 2011) for the FCPE Imerys Actions are insignificant.

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly consolidated financial statements issued in French and it is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report should be read in conjunction with and construed in accordance with French law and professional standards applicable in France. This report also includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the group's interim management report.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code Monétaire et Financier), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion of these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standards of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
