Eleventh consecutive year of revenue growth
Total revenues for the year ended 31 December 2022 amounted to 90.5 million euros, up 15% compared to 2021 (+8% at constant scope and exchange rates).
The United States/Canada region recorded the strongest growth in 2022, while being the largest contributor to revenue of 34 million euros, an increase of 28% (+16% on a like for like basis).
The EMEA region ended the year with a solid fourth quarter, catching up after a slower start (-10% year on year at the end of the third quarter). It closed 2022 with revenues of 31.9 million euros, up 2% (+1% on a like for like basis).
Asia Pacific and Latin America posted similar growth performances, with revenues of 15.2 and 9.3 million euros respectively, up 17% and 14% (+8% and +6% at constant scope and exchange rates).
Recurring monthly income1 increased from €1.960M in January 2022 to €2.443M in January 2023, well above the target of a €400k annual increase. As a result, Ateme began the year with 29 million euros in recurring revenues, significantly improving the level and visibility of the business.
| Monthly recurring revenue in K € | January 2022 | January 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring monthly income | 1,960 | 2,443 |
The gross margin improved in the second half (62%) compared to the first half (58%), reaching 60% on a full year basis, compared with 62% in 2021 and 55% in 2020.
Gross profit thus amounted to 54.4 million euros, up 11%.
Ongoing investments to drive growth in 2022
Ateme continued to invest in 2022 to support its growth. Operating costs thus increased by 14% to 54.6 million euros, due in particular to the increase in the total workforce from 490 to 560 people in one year. Additional investments were mainly in R & D expenses, up 4.8 million euros (+30% compared to 2021), and general and administrative expenses, up 1.2 million euros (+24% year on year), while marketing and selling expenses remained virtually stable (+3%).
Underlying earnings amounted to € -0.2 million, while net income, after the impact of a negative financial result and a positive tax contribution, came to almost breakeven.
EBITDA of €5.0M, compared with €6.4M in 2021, reflects the continuation of R & D investments throughout 2022, and the lag in certain revenues related to projects carried forward to 2023.
Shareholders' equity amounted to 40.9 million euros at 31 December 2022, compared with 39.6 million euros a year earlier.
The change in cash and cash equivalents (3.9 million euros at year end versus 11.4 million euros a year earlier) is explained by the increase in working capital requirements, partly due to the significant increase in inventories (+3.4 million euros) to cope with tensions in the semiconductor industry in 2022 and to meet the expected growth. In 2023, inventories are expected to decline, while additional measures are also taken to reduce trade receivables, which were particularly high at the end of 2022.
At 31 December 2022, net debt amounted to 20.1 million euros, compared with 10.3 million euros (excluding IFRS 16). It includes the debt related to the mobilisation of research tax credit receivables in the amount of 8 million euros.
Restated Ebitda
'Recurring operating income' is defined as the difference between total operating income and 'Other operating income' and 'Other operating expenses.'
Restated 'EBITDA' means the Group's recurring operating income before non recurring items, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of fixed assets and share based payment expenses. It highlights the profit generated by the activity regardless of the conditions of its financing, the tax constraints and the renewal of the operating tool. Non recurring expenses (unusual, abnormal and infrequent items) are excluded.
1 Alternative performance indicator not subject to review by Ateme's Statutory Auditors: Recurring monthly revenue is defined as the sum of (1) the monthly revenue of support contracts already signed, (2) the monthly revenue of multi year licence agreements already signed (CAPEX) and (3) the monthly revenue of licence leases (OPEX).

1.4 Impacts of international crises on the financial statements at 31 December 2022
Impact of pandemic, global semiconductor shortage and war in Ukraine
As restrictions on most international travel have now been lifted, trade fairs and customer meetings are gradually normalising.
Semiconductor production is still subject to tensions affecting all major server manufacturers, including partners such as Dell and HPE, and the production of Ateme's Kyrion product range. Although efforts to build up a stock have mitigated its impact, the situation resulted in the loss or postponement of business for approximately euros500000.
In addition, Ateme discontinued its activities in Russia and Belarus. The impact on revenue for the year was approximately € 1 million.
1.5 Progress made/Difficulties encountered
Group revenue for 2022 (ended December 31) was € 90.6 million, up 15% compared to 2022 (8% at constant exchange rates). Ateme thus recorded an eleventh year of consecutive growth (average annual growth of 20% in 2011-2022).
Operating expenses amounted to €54.6M, compared to €48M in 2021, reflecting an increase of approximately €4.9M in R & D and €0.7M in sales & marketing. General and administrative expenses increased by €1.2M
Net financial expense came to €233k, mainly due to interest expense on borrowings, partly offset by foreign exchange gains (Us dollar/euro).
Net income amounted to €-46k, compared with €1137k in 2021.

1.6 Forecast developments and outlook
Ateme has constantly used its R & D expertise to innovate in areas ranging from visual quality to Open caching, Cloud DVR and dynamic advertising insertion, in order to deliver value that is always superior to its customers.
Ateme has also embarked on the next step, based on data analysis integration, artificial intelligence/machine learning and blockchain.
The Group's cutting edge expertise in end to end video processing and transport places it at the heart of the transformation of the broadcasting market.
All these market specific elements reinforce the validity of the acquisition of Anevia's broadcasting technologies; Ateme covers a broader scope of value added solutions by allowing its customers to boost their audiences, subscriptions and their own turnover. While TITAN's revenues increase in correlation with the content of its customers, NEA's revenues increase according to customer success in terms of audience: An ideal growth engine for Ateme's recurring monthly revenues
1.7 Research and development activities
The Company maintained its R & D activity and continued its policy on patent filings during the past financial year.
This R & D essentially covers solutions based on our H264 and HEVC video compression technology. It also plays an active role in defining a new standard (AV1) in the Alliance for Open Media.
The importance of R & D investments helps maintain the Group's reputation and know how in terms of the reliability and quality of its video encodings.
The R & D effort is split mainly between 4 historical business lines and 1 new business line related to the acquisition of Anevia:
- Research on codecs to maintain our competitive advantage in video quality and prepare for the future by working on new standards such as HEVC,
- Encoders and decoders for broadcast contribution, Kyrion range,
- TITAN software solution for multi-screen transcoding for broadcasting content to internet gateways or streaming on the Internet or on mobile phones or tablets,

4.1.1Definition
Ateme is continuing to formalise its risk management approach.
The purpose of this process is to identify all risks and risk factors that may affect the activities and processes of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and to determine the means by which these risks may be managed and maintained or brought down to a level acceptable to the Company. It is intended to cover all risk categories and to apply to all Group activities.
4.1.2 Risk management objectives
Ateme adopts the definition of risk management proposed by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, according to which risk management is a management lever of the Company that contributes to:
- Create and preserve the value, assets and reputation of the Company;
- Make the Company's decision-making and processes more secure to make it easier to achieve objectives;
- Ensure that initiatives are consistent with the Company's values;
- Bring employees together to develop a shared view of the Company's main risks.
4.1.3 Components of the risk management system
Risk mapping is carried out jointly by Executive Management and the relevant operating departments. It is discussed with the Statutory Auditors.
A review of these risks is carried out annually in order to update these risks with the people directly concerned. The aim of this review will be to formalise the list of actions to be implemented to control these risks and to evaluate their effectiveness.
The risks identified and the measures taken to manage these risks are presented in the annual management report.
4.2 Articulation between risk management and internal control
Risk management aims to identify and analyse the main risks and risk factors that may affect the Company's activities, processes and objectives, and to define the means by which these risks can be kept at an acceptable level, in particular by implementing preventive measures and controls that are part of the internal control system.
At the same time, the internal control system relies in particular on risk management to identify the main risks to be controlled. The Company is committed to combining the two systems, aiming in particular to identify the control procedures necessary for key processes of the Company that could be affected by risks classified as 'major.'
4.3 General principles of internal control
4.3.1Definition and objectives of internal control
The Company has adopted the definition of internal control proposed by the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers, AMF), according to which internal control is a system implemented by the Company that aims to ensure:
- Compliance with laws and regulations;
- Application of the instructions and guidelines set by Executive Management;

- The proper functioning of the Company's internal processes, particularly those contributing to the protection of its assets;
- The reliability of financial information; and,
- More generally, the control over its activities, the effectiveness of its operations and the efficient use of its resources.
The internal control system is applied to the entire Ateme group, defined as Ateme SA and all fully consolidated companies.
4.3.2 Components of internal control
Following the listing of the Company's shares on the Euronext Paris regulated market, the Company intends to improve its internal control principles and to complement the existing system by reference to the implementation guide for small- and mid-cap companies in the reference framework for risk management and internal control published by the AMF on 17 November 2016.
The Company has therefore formalised a set of procedures designed to secure the financial and legal security of the different stages of the business.
The Finance Department is responsible, under the supervision of Executive Management, for the internal control procedures related to the preparation and processing of financial information.
All Group companies provide the Company's Finance Department with monthly operational and financial reporting, which is reviewed in depth by the Finance Department.
The Management Committee meets every two weeks to review the business and the financial and operating indicators of the Company and the Group.
Procedures relating to operational processes
Ateme has broken down its organisation into processes:
Implementation process
Ateme has 7 business processes that help deliver our products and services to our customers from the moment they are identified.
They include:
- The Gate Process , which monitors the life cycle of products, solutions and services, from analysing market needs to the end of the product's life cycle. This process brings together the marketing, qualification and R & D teams and is at the heart of Ateme's business.
- The Lead to Order, whose activities follow a client needs analysis through to the order intake. This process combines pre sales activities (system engineering, demonstrations, commercial proposals) and sales activities (prospecting, fairs, customer relationship monitoring), it is the central process of the relationship between customers and Ateme.
- The Procure to Stock, Order to Delivery and Delivery to Cash track order intake until delivery to clients by integrating inventory management, procurement, unit preparation, deliveries, all managed through our ERP.
- Ateme offers all its customers technical support. Technical Support manages client issues by providing access to service after the sale, and Project Management works with clients to provide them with installation services and training sessions.
Support process
• Resources Process which includes Human Resources, Material Resources Management and Information System Management processes. They contribute to the proper functioning of other processes by providing the necessary human or material resources.

- Steering process: Participates in and contributes to the determination, development of the policy and deployment of Ateme's general objectives. This is the decision making process, based on the factual information reported during management reviews: Quality policy & objectives, dashboards, customer feedback, audit results
- Continuous Improvement Process, which monitors the functioning of the QMS and allows for the implementation of improvement actions
Organisation of the Accounting and Finance Department
The accounting and finance function is managed internally by a team of around ten people, including the Chief Financial Officer.
The Company is committed to maintaining a separation between its production and supervision of financial statements and uses independent experts to assess complex accounting items (pension obligations, valuation of equity warrants and stock options) and/or using subjective assumptions.
The financial statements prepared in accordance with French and IFRS standards, produced with the assistance of independent accounting firms, are submitted to the Company's Statutory Auditors for audit.
The financial statements, which are produced internally, are submitted for review by the Company's Statutory Auditors and then presented to and discussed with the Audit Committee. This ensures that the Company's practices comply fully with French and international accounting standards (IFRS) and that the financial statements are presented in a consistent manner.
Budget Process and 'Monthly Reporting'
The Company prepares an annual revenue and expenditure budget that is reviewed quarterly in the form of a projection that takes into account the expenditure incurred and the adjustments to be made in terms of both revenue and expenditure that remains to be incurred.
These items are reported to the Board of Directors in the form of ad hoc presentations at least once a quarter.
Delegation of powers
The Company has implemented a procedure for delegating powers and signatures for the payment of invoices and the signature of purchase orders.
4.4 Persons involved in risk management and internal control
The Board of Directors plays a leading role in defining and driving the internal control system and risk management.
Risk management aims to identify and analyse the main risks and risk factors that may affect the Company's activities, processes and objectives, and to define the means by which these risks can be kept at an acceptable level, in particular by implementing preventive measures and controls that are part of the internal control system.
4.5 Risk management and internal control limitations and areas for improvement
In 2023, the Company will focus on adapting and optimising its risk management system to its information system and improving the monitoring of identified action plans.

APPENDIX 3 DRAFT REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON COMPENSATION OF CORPORATE OFFICERS (PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLES L. 225-37-2 AND R. 225-29-1 OF THE FRENCH COMMERCIAL CODE
Board of Directors' report on the compensation policy applicable to executive corporate officers
This report was prepared and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting of 5 April 2023 in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code.
It presents the compensation policy for corporate officers including all components of the fixed and variable compensation of the Company's corporate officers (Chairman, Chief Executive Officers or Deputy Chief Executive Officers and members of the Board of Directors).
In the absence of such compensation policy, the compensation is determined in accordance with the compensation awarded in respect of the previous financial year or, in the absence of compensation awarded in respect of the previous financial year, in accordance with existing practices within the Company.
The compensation policy for corporate officers is in the Company's best interests, contributes to its longterm viability, and is in line with Ateme's development strategy.
The provisions introduced by French Law no. 2016-1691 of 9 December 2016 on transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernisation of economic life, known as the Sapin II Act, and supplemented by French Law no. 2019-486 of 22 May 2019 on the growth and transformation of companies known as the Pacte Act, require a vote by the Shareholders' General Meeting on the policy on the compensation of corporate officers and executive corporate officers of companies whose shares are traded on a regulated market,
There are two types of votes:
- The ex ante vote, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code relating to the compensation policy for the Company's corporate officers. The compensation policy for corporate officers must be in the Company's interest, contribute to its long-term viability, and be part of its business strategy. It describes all the components of fixed and variable compensation and explains the decision process followed in determining, revising and implementing this decision. This vote concerns the compensation policy as determined by the Board of Directors. Said vote will be put to shareholders each year and was first put to the vote at the Ordinary General Meeting of 8 June 2017 (in accordance with the provisions in force prior to the entry into force of the above mentioned Pacte Law);
- the ex post vote, to be taken at the General Meeting following that at which the compensation policy will have been approved (aforementioned ex ante vote). This vote will cover the amounts of compensation paid or attributable to each executive officer in respect of the previous financial year and will, where applicable, require the payment to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of variable or exceptional items of his compensation in respect of the previous financial year. Said vote will be put to shareholders each year and at the time of each major change to the compensation policy. This proposal was made to the shareholders for the first time at the General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the financial year ending 31 December 2017.
Draft resolutions relating to (I) the compensation policy for corporate officers and (II) the approval of the amount of compensation paid or attributable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is proposed by the Board of Directors and presented in this report attached to the report on corporate governance.
In the event of refusal to approve the resolution presenting the compensation policy for corporate officers:
- the compensation policy that it previously approved may apply;

-
- In the absence of a previously approved compensation policy, the compensation policy approved for the previous year will be applied;
- If no compensation policy was established for the previous financial year, the compensation policy will be awarded in accordance with existing practices within the Company.
In this case, the Board of Directors will submit for the approval of the annual general meeting approving the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 a draft resolution presenting a revised compensation policy and indicating how the vote of the shareholders and, where applicable, the opinions expressed at the general meeting were taken into account.
In light of current regulations, the compensation (fixed, variable or exceptional) of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer must be approved by a majority vote of the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting.
As a consequence, you are asked this year to approve (I) the compensation policy applicable to the members of the Board of Directors and the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for the financial year ending 31 December 2023 and, (II) the amount of compensation paid or attributable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, if any, for the year ended 31 December 2022.

I - COMPENSATION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
1.1 Fixed - Variable - Exceptional
We remind you that Michel Artières received fixed compensation in respect of his term of office as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the past fiscal year pursuant to a corporate office agreement approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 23 September 2020 retroactive to 1 July 2020 on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee.
The Board of Directors therefore unanimously decided to set for the financial year a gross annual compensation of euros175,000 payable monthly over a period of 12 months, i.e. a monthly amount of euros14,583.
Michel Artières may also receive variable compensation of up to euros180,000, broken down as follows :
- Euros60,000 based on a Gross margin target identical to that of the Executive Committee ;
- Euros30,000 based on an EBIT target for the 1st half year;
- Euros30,000 based on an EBIT target for the 2ndr semester;
- Euros60000 based on an annual EBIT target
As a result, the Board of Directors duly decided on the compensation policy for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with Article L. 225-37-2 of the French Commercial Code and Recommendation No. 13 of the Middlenext Code.
1.2 Compensation of Michel Artières for his term of office as a director
As a Company director, compensation in respect of his term of office (formerly called attendance fees) may be paid to the Chairman of the Board of Directors based on his attendance at the various Board meetings held during each financial year.
During the year ended 31 December 2022, no compensation in respect of his directorship was paid to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
1.3 Stock options and bonus shares None
1.4 Other compensation None

1.3 Impacts of international crises on the financial statements at 31 December 2022
Impact of pandemic, global semiconductor shortage and war in Ukraine
As restrictions on most international travel have now been lifted, trade fairs and customer meetings are gradually normalising.

Semiconductor production is still subject to tensions affecting all major server manufacturers, including partners such as Dell and HPE, and the production of Ateme's Kyrion product range. Although efforts to build up a stock have mitigated its impact, the situation resulted in the loss or postponement of business for approximately euros500000.

Note 2: Accounting principles, rules and methods
The financial statements are presented in €'000 unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Reporting principle
Declaration of compliance
Ateme has prepared its consolidated financial statements approved by the Board of Directors on 5 April 2023, in accordance with the standards and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) and adopted by the European Union on the date of preparation of the financial statements, for all periods presented.
These standards, which are available on the European Commission's website, incorporate international accounting standards (IAS and IFRS), the interpretations of the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The accounting principles, methods and options used by the Company are described below. In some cases, IFRS give the choice between the application of a benchmark treatment or another allowed alternative treatment.
Principle of preparation of financial statements
the Group's financial statements have been prepared at historical cost, except for certain categories of assets and liabilities, in accordance with IFRS and ANC 2016-09. The categories concerned are mentioned in the following notes.
Business continuity
The assumption of going concern over the next 12 months from 31 December 2022 has been adopted by the Board of Directors on the basis of available cash and revised revenue and gross margin growth assumptions.
Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the financial statements, after taking account of or making exceptions for the new standards and interpretations described below:
- Amendments to IFRS 3 " Business Combinations , " IAS 16 " Property, Plant and Equipment " and IAS 37 " Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets , " Annual Improvements 2018-2020, all published on 14 May 2020 and applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022.
The other standards, amendments to standards and interpretations did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements or are not applicable
These new standards and interpretations published by the IASB did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The other standards, amendments to standards and interpretations did not have an impact on the financial statements or are not applicable.

Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union but not yet mandatory for the annual financial statements 2022
The Group has elected not to early adopt the standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the European Union but whose early application would have been possible and which will come into force after 31 December 2022.
These mainly include:
- Amendments to IAS 1 " Presentation of Financial Statements " Classification of Current Assets or Non Current Assets and Classification of Current or Non Current Liabilities - carried forward from the effective date of the amendment to 2 March 2022, respectively, and from whose application concerns financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023;
- Amendments to IAS 8 " Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors " Definition of Accounting Estimates published on 12 February 2021 and applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023;
- Amendments to IAS 12 " Deferred tax on assets and liabilities arising from the same transaction " published on 11 August 2022 and applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The Group does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on its financial statements. There are no standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB and mandatorily applicable for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022, but not yet approved at European level (and whose early application is not possible at European level), which would have a significant impact on the financial statements for this financial year.
Standards and interpretations published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union at 31 December 2022
- Amendments to IAS 1 " Presentation of financial statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2 " Disclosure of accounting policies published on 15 July 2020 and applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024;
- Amendments to IFRS 16 " Leasehold liability " (published on 22 September 2022) and whose application is for the year beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
The Group is currently assessing the impacts resulting from the first time application of these new standards and does not anticipate any significant impact on its financial statements.
Consolidation principles
Fully consolidated companies
The consolidated financial statements comprise, by full consolidation, the accounts of subsidiaries over which the Group exercises exclusive control, whether directly or indirectly. The Group considers that it holds exclusive control over an entity when it has the capacity to govern the operational and financial policies of that entity in order to achieve economic benefits. Full consolidation allows for the inclusion, after elimination of the internal transactions and results, of all assets, liabilities, and elements of the income statements of the Companies concerned, the share of income and shareholders' equity attributable to the Group's Companies (Group share), distinguished from the interest of the other shareholders (Non-controlling interests). All significant transactions between consolidated Companies and consolidated internal income (including dividends) are eliminated.

Main Group companies at 31 December 2022
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities for which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, this power generally accompanying a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which the Company acquires control. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.
Intragroup transactions and balances are eliminated. The financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reference period as those of the parent company, on the basis of uniform accounting policies.
At 31 December 2022, five companies were fully consolidated. Directly owned companies are as follows:
| Companies | Country | xml:lang="en">Grou p control in % |
Interest % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ateme SA | France | Parent company | |
| Ateme USA Inc. | United States | 100 | 100 |
| Ateme Canada Inc. | Canada | 100 | 100 |
| Ateme Singapore | Singapore | 100 | 100 |
| Ateme Australia | Australia | 100 | 100 |
| Ateme UK | United Kingdom | 100 | 100 |
at January 1, 2022, Anevia was absorbed by Ateme.
Ateme Japan was removed from the scope of consolidation on 31 December 2022 following its liquidation. The impact on the financial statements is not considered material.
Ateme UK was registered on 2 November 2022. It was inactive in 2022.
2.2 Recent events and changes to previously published financial statements
None
2.3 Use of judgements and estimates
To prepare the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, Group management has made estimates, judgements and assumptions which may have affected the amounts reported for assets and liabilities, contingent liabilities at the date the financial statements were prepared, and the amounts reported for income and expenses for the financial year.
These estimates are based on the assumption of business continuity and the information available at the date of preparation. They are continuously assessed on the basis of past experience and various other factors deemed reasonable which are the basis for assessments of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Estimates may be revised if the circumstances on which they were based change or if further information is available. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates according to different assumptions or conditions.

The major estimates or judgements made by the Company's management include the following:
- Allocation of stock options or subscription warrants for founders' shares to employees and executives
- o The fair value of share based payments is determined using the Black & Scholes option pricing model, which takes into account assumptions about complex and subjective variables. These variables include the value of the Company's securities, the expected volatility of the share price over the life of the instrument and the current and future behaviour of the holders of such instruments. There is a high inherent risk of subjectivity arising from the use of a pricing model in determining the fair value of share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2.
- o The valuation assumptions used are presented in Note 22.
- Recognition of sales revenue
- o Some perpetual licence agreements include a maintenance component subject to the transfer of final ownership. In this context, the Group may have to take comparable data into account in determining the revenue to be recognised on each contract.
- o The accounting principles are presented in Note 3.
- Capitalisation of development expenses
- o The Company devotes significant efforts to research and development. In this context, the Company must make judgements and interpretations to determine the development expenses to be capitalised once all the six criteria defined in IAS 38 are met.
- o The accounting principles and the amount of capitalised costs are presented in Note 12.
- Impairment of inventory
- o The Group determines a provision for impairment of inventory based on an analysis of the probable net realisable value of its inventory, which is based on historical and projected data. In this context, the Company may be required to take into account assumptions (in particular in terms of technological changes in the different versions of the cards and the risk of obsolescence of such products).
- o The accounting principles and the amount of provisions are presented respectively in Note 17.
- Provision for pension commitments
- o The Group uses assumptions related to turnover, discount rate and salary increases based on historical data. For this purpose, the Group may have to take assumptions into account.
- o The accounting principles and the amount of provisions are presented in Note 24.
- Impairment of trade receivables
- o The Group sets aside provisions for impairment of trade receivables on the basis of historical losses recorded on certain client categories. In this context, the Group may have to take into account assumptions (particularly in terms of client risk).
- o The accounting principles and the amount of provisions are presented respectively in Note 18.1.
- Lease obligations
- o The determination of the lease terms and renewal options used to determine the value of the debts and rights of use in accordance with IFRS 16 'Leases.' The accounting principles are presented in Notes 7 and 14 and in the section on accounting principles.
- Allocation of the acquisition price of assets and liabilities at fair value (see Note 11)

• Impairment tests on assets (see Note 15)
2.4 Presentation functional currency
The Group's financial statements are prepared in euros, the presentation and functional currency of Ateme SA.
2.5 Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the Company using the exchange rate applicable on the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the balance sheet date are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at that date.
Exchange gains and losses arising from the conversion of monetary items correspond to the difference between amortised cost denominated in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the impact of the effective interest rate and payments over the period, and the amortised cost denominated in the foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate of the date on which fair value was determined. The exchange differences resulting from such translations shall be recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of the differences resulting from the translation of equity instruments available for sale, a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign business, or instruments classified as cash flow hedges, which are recognised directly in equity.
Translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements
The euro, chosen as the reporting currency, is the currency in which most of the flows are generated within the Group. The functional currency of the Company is the euro and the functional currencies of its subsidiaries are as follows:
- Ateme SA Inc. : US dollar
- Ateme Canada Inc. : Canadian dollar
- Ateme Singapore: Singapore Dollar
- Ateme Australia: Australian dollar
The accounts of Group entities whose functional currencies are different from the euro are translated into euros as follows:
- Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rate at 31 December 2022;
- the income and expenses of each income statement shall be translated at the average exchange rate for the period or financial year that is considered to reflect the applicable exchange rates on the effective date of the transactions.
Translation differences resulting from the application of these different rates are included in a specific equity item, 'Translation differences'.

| Currency rate for one euro | Closing rate | Average Rate |
|---|---|---|
| AUD Australian dollar | 1.575300 | 1.516898 |
| CAD Canadian dollar | 1.449900 | 1.516491 |
| SGD Singapore Dollar | 1.437200 | 1.464777 |
| USD US dollar | 1.072040 | 1.050496 |
2.6 Current and non current distinction
The Group applies a balance sheet presentation that distinguishes between the current and noncurrent elements of assets and liabilities.
The distinction between current items and non-current items has been made in accordance with the following rules:
- The assets and liabilities constituting the working capital requirement within the normal business cycle are classified as 'current';
- The assets and liabilities outside of the normal operating cycle are presented in 'current', on the one hand and in 'non-current' on the other, depending on whether their maturity is more or less than one year or according to the application of the specific cases referred to in IAS 1.
2.7 Recoverable amount of non current assets
Assets with a finite life are subject to impairment tests whenever there is an internal or external indication showing that the asset may have lost value.
At 31 December 2022 and 2021, there were no internal or external indications of impairment (see Note 15).
2.8 Receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies
Payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies shall be accounted for at the exchange rate at the time of the original transaction. At the end of the financial year, the corresponding assets and liabilities are valued at the closing exchange rate.
2.9 Segment reporting
The Group operates in a single segment: The 'marketing of professional video compression solutions.'
The assets and operations presented are located in France. Revenue by geographic area is described in Note 3.
Research and Development costs, and most administrative costs are incurred in France. At this stage, these costs are not allocated to the geographical areas where these products are marketed.

Thus, the Company's performance is currently analysed at the level of the identified segment. The Company monitors two performance indicators:
- Revenue
- Restated EBITDA (see Note 5)
2.10 Other comprehensive income
The items of income and expenses for the period recognised directly in equity are presented, where applicable, under "Other comprehensive income".
Note 3: Revenue
The Group's revenue stems from the sale of professional video compression solutions, contracts for maintenance and for services.
Multi-element service contracts
The Group enters into multiple element service contracts for a combination of various services or goods deliveries. Revenue is recognised separately for each individual item when it is separately identifiable and the client can benefit from it separately.
When these activities transfer to the client the control of a separate service or good from which the client may benefit independently of the recurring services, they are treated separately and revenue is recognised without waiting for the recurring services phase. These contracts mainly concern the "contribution" activity, which includes the delivery of a hardware including the licence, which makes it inseparable, and a maintenance contract for a period of 12 to 24 months. The maintenance contract may be sold independently of the hardware.
Where a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the price is allocated to each obligation on the basis of its individual sale price. The selling price is determined based on the "catalogue" price. The 'catalogue price' corresponds to the observable price when the entity sells this service separately in similar projects. These contracts mainly concern the 'distribution' activity, which includes, in particular, the delivery of a right of use to a TITAN license, dissociable from hardware, a maintenance contract (which is optional and independent of license sales), in certain cases, a delivery of hardware on which the license will be installed and in certain cases, a service provision for the configuration of the solution.
The licence attached to these contracts consists of a basic encoding feature and multiple options to be selected by the client, making the licence price highly variable from one contract to another.
Recognition of revenues at a given date over time or on a continuous basis
Revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control of the goods or services sold to the client, either on a specific date over time or on a continuous basis.
For recurring services, revenue is recognised continuously insofar as the client immediately benefits from the services provided as soon as they are rendered by the Group. When the Group has a right to charge the client, which directly corresponds to the performance obligation met on the date, revenue is recognised for this amount.
Intellectual property licences
These perpetual licences (without limitation in time) transfer to the client:
- either a right to use intellectual property as it exists at the specific time the licence is granted (static license) - these licences only have corrective updates
- or a right of access to intellectual property as it exists throughout the period covered by the licence (dynamic licence). These licences benefit from upgrades supplied by the Group.

Since 1 January 2019, the company has offered dynamic licence offerings to its clients, this multiyear offer enables the client to benefit from unlimited licences including the up-to-date version of the product roadmap during the contract term. Contractual analysis of these contracts leads to the identification of two performance obligations:
- In the case of a licence that was initially sold and that immediately provides profits to the client, revenue is recognised as soon as the licence is granted. The amount to be recognised is analysed on a contract by contract basis to identify the value to be allocated to the initial licence;
- One is for version upgrades that are considered critical for the client that give the client additional advantages, this sales revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract (in line with the version updates).
The Group has no contracts that fall within the scope of IFRS 15's order book definition. 120-122.
Net assets and liabilities arising from client contracts
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of billing to the Group's customers. Trade receivables presented in the consolidated statement of financial position represent an unconditional right to the counterparty (essentially collection), i.e. the services or goods promised to the client have been provided.
Contract liabilities represent the amounts for which the customer made a payment to Ateme before obtaining the goods and/or services promised in the contract. This is typically the case for advances received from clients or amounts invoiced and collected for goods or services that remain to be supplied, for example, for maintenance services (deferred income).
Client contract assets and liabilities are presented in current assets and current liabilities, respectively, as they are part of the Group's normal business activities.
The Group has not implemented any sales and marketing policies involving variable counterparties.
The Group's sales revenue is essentially made up of the marketing of products (decoders, encoders, etc.), solutions for the acquisition, processing and transmission of information, and contracts for maintenance and service.

Impairment of trade receivables and inventory
Impairment of trade receivables is presented in 'Cost of sales.' Impairment of inventory is recorded in the "Cost of Sales" category.
Operating leases
Payments for these operating leases, net of any incentive measures, are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Subsidies
The subsidies received shall be recorded as soon as the corresponding claim becomes certain, taking into account the conditions laid down in the attribution of the subsidy. Operating subsidies shall be recorded in current income, taking into account, where appropriate, the pace of the corresponding expenses.
Research tax credit (Crédit d'Impôt Recherche - CIR)
Research tax credits are granted to companies by the French State in order to encourage them to carry out technical and scientific research. Businesses with expenses that meet the criteria benefit from a tax credit which may be used for the payment of the corporate tax due for the financial year in which the expenses are incurred, and the following three financial years or, where applicable, the remaining amount may be reimbursed.
The research tax credit is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as a subsidy for Research and Development expenses based on the origin of the expense. The share of the research tax credit related to capitalised development expenses is recorded as a deduction from assets.
The Company has received the research tax credit since 1996.

Note 5: Restated EBITDA
'Recurring operating income' is defined as the difference between total operating income and 'Other operating income' and 'Other operating expenses.'
Restated 'EBITDA' means the Group's recurring operating income before non recurring items, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of fixed assets and share based payment expenses. It highlights the profit generated by the activity regardless of the conditions of its financing, the tax constraints and the renewal of the operating tool. Non recurring expenses (unusual, abnormal and infrequent items) are excluded.

Note 7: Financial income and expenses, net
Financial profit or loss includes:
- Expenses related to the financing of the Company: Interest paid and unwinding of discounting of repayable advances and financial liabilities (see Note 23).
- Interest income.
Any foreign exchange gains or losses are also recognised in financial profit or loss.
| Financial INCOME AND EXPENSES (Amounts in K €) |

| Financial income | 4 | 122 |
| Exchange (losses) and gains | 211 | 1,010 |
| Total financial income and expenses | (233) | 511 |
Other financial expenses consist mainly of discounts given.
Financial expenses primarily correspond to the unwinding of discounting adjustments to refundable advances and interest on finance leases.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are mainly due to the translation of bank accounts into dollars.

Note 8: Income taxes
The tax assets and liabilities for the financial year and previous financial years are valued at the amount that is expected to be recovered from or payable to the tax authorities.
The tax rates and tax regulations used to determine these amounts are those that were adopted or were almost adopted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are recognised, using the balance sheet method and variable deferral, for all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount on the balance sheet, as well as for tax loss carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax loss carryforwards, where it is probable that the Company will have future taxable profits to which such unused tax losses can be charged. The determination of the amount of deferred tax assets that may be recognised requires that management make estimates of both the period of consumption of tax loss carryforwards and the level of future taxable profits in relation to tax management strategies.
The tax rate applicable to the Company is the rate in force in France at 31 December 2022, i.e. 25%. At 31 December 2022, temporary taxation was taken into account. A deferred tax has been recognised in the amount of the forecast taxable income estimated prudently over a short period (3 years). The Group recognised part of its tax losses for a deferred tax amount of €1334k. This assessment will be reviewed at each balance sheet date on the basis of future results. Ateme's tax loss carryforwards amounted to €31619k after the transfer of Anevia's tax losses following the merger of the two companies for €29055k.
Deferred taxes are shown separately from current tax assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and are classified as non-current.
With respect to deferred tax assets, in the absence of new strategic and tax plans, deferred tax on temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards arising in 2022 have not been recognised in France. As a reminder, tax losses recognised as of 31 December 2021 amounted to €1334k in deferred taxes for the entire Group.

The permanent differences mainly correspond to the impact of the research tax credit (operating income that is not taxable).
Note 9: Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the income attributable to the holders of shares in the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
Per share is determined by adjusting the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
| BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE | 31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Income for the financial year (in €'000) | (46) | 1,137 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic earnings * |
11,263,069 | 11,167,335 |
| Basic earnings per share (€ / share) | 0.00 | 0.10 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 11,263,069 | 11,167,335 |
| Stock options outstanding | 283,485 | 228,615 |
| Weighted average free shares outstanding | 151,599 | 86,575 |
| Weighted average BSA | 116,500 | 108,904 |
| Weighted average number of shares assuming full dilution |
11,814,653 | 11,591,429 |
| Diluted earnings per share (€ / share) | 0.00 | 0.10 |
* Net of treasury shares issued under the liquidity contract
Instruments granting deferred rights to equity (AGA) are considered anti-dilutive as they reduce losses per share. Diluted losses per share are therefore identical to basic losses per share.
Note 10: Discontinued operations
A non current asset or group of assets and liabilities is held for sale when its carrying amount will be recovered primarily through a sale and not through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset must be available for immediate sale and highly probable sale.
These assets or groups of assets are presented separately from other assets or groups of assets, on the line 'Assets held for sale' of the consolidated balance sheet when they are material.
These assets or groups of assets are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated selling price, net of costs relating to the sale. The liabilities of a group of assets held for sale are presented in the line 'Liabilities related to assets held for sale' in the consolidated balance sheet. A discontinued operation is defined as a component of the entity that is either sold or classified as held for sale, which represents a significant activity or geographical area for the Group.
The Company considered that the disposal of the Enterprise business fell within the definition of a discontinued operation within the meaning of IFRS 5.

Net income from discontinued operations only concerns 2021, with net income of €251k following the disposal of the Enterprise business in 2021. The impact on the statement of cash flows from discontinued operations was €1121k.
Note 11: Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as defined in IFRS 3. Under this method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree are recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Goodwill arising from the business combination is measured as the excess of the total amount of consideration transferred, the amount of any non controlling interest and, where applicable, the fair value of the previously held interest over the net balance of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is measured in the functional currency of the acquired entity and is recognised as an asset in the statement of financial position. The Group may choose, on a transaction by transaction basis, at the acquisition date, to measure non controlling interests either at fair value ('full goodwill' method) or at the share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree ('partial goodwill' method).
In accordance with IFRS, goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired (see Notes 12 and 15).
When the business combination is carried out on advantageous terms, negative goodwill ('badwill') is identified. The corresponding gain is recognised in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
Acquisition related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services received.
In accordance with IFRS 3, the Group has a measurement period to finalise the accounting for business combinations, which ends as soon as the latest necessary information is obtained and no later than one year after the acquisition date.
In accounting for acquisitions of joint ventures, the Group applies the acquisition method as defined by IFRS 3 'Business Combinations.'
Determination of goodwill:
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the total:
- The consideration transferred;
- The amount of any non controlling interest in the acquiree; and
- In a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value of the acquirer's previously held interest in the acquiree;
Compared to the net carrying amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The amount of goodwill recognised on the acquisition of control cannot be adjusted after the end of the measurement period. Goodwill relating to investments in associates and joint ventures is recorded respectively under 'Investments in associates.'
Valuation of goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment once a year or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. Goodwill is tested at the level of Cash Generating Units (CGUs), which are homogeneous groups generating cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by the other CGUs.

The methods used to perform these impairment tests are presented in Note 15 'Impairment tests.'
The 'IFRS 3' business combination standard was applied in connection with the acquisition of Anevia.
In 2020, Ateme acquired 100% of Anevia, resulting in the recognition of goodwill of €13186k. The disposal of the Enterprise business resulted in the disposal of a €300k share of goodwill, resulting in goodwill recognised in connection with the acquisition of Anevia amounting to €12886k at 31 December 2021. It remains the same as at 31 December 2022.
Note 12: Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist mainly of licences, software development and development expenses. Research and Development expenses
Research costs are systematically recognised as expenses.
In accordance with IAS 38, development expenses are recognised in intangible assets only if all of the following criteria are satisfied:
- a) technical feasibility necessary for the completion of the development project,
- b) the Company's intention to complete the project,
- c) its ability to use this intangible asset,
- d) demonstration of the likelihood of future economic benefits attached to the asset,
- e) availability of technical, financial and other resources to complete the project, and
- f) reliable assessment of development expenses.
Costs that are eligible for capitalisation which are directly attributable to the production of the asset include:
- the costs of the services used or consumed to generate the intangible asset;
- salaries and staff expenses committed to generate the asset.
Expenses shall be capitalised only from the date on which the conditions for the capitalisation of the intangible asset are met. Expenses shall cease to be recognised in assets when the intangible asset is ready to be used and marketed.
Capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis between 1 and 4 years, depending on their useful life.
The amortisation allocation of capitalised development expenses is presented in the category 'Research and Development expenses'.
Software
The costs associated with the acquisition of software licences are recognised in assets on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and implement the relevant software.
Other intangible assets
In accordance with IAS 38 criteria, intangible assets acquired are recognised on the asset side of the balance sheet at acquisition cost.
Period of amortisation and amortisation expenses
When they have a finite useful life, amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to break down the cost over their estimated useful life, as follows:
| Elements | Amortisation periods |
|---|---|
| ---------- | ---------------------- |

| Development expenses | from 1 to 4 years |
|---|---|
| Software licences and software development | from 1 to 5 years |
| Developed technologies | 9 to 10 years |
The amortisation expense of intangible assets related to software licences and developments is recognised in the income statement and broken down according to their use in the following categories: Cost of sales, marketing and selling expenses, research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses.
The amortisation expense of intangible assets relating to capitalised development costs and technology is recognised in the income statement under research and development expenses.

The projects whose development costs have been capitalised concern the Kyrion, TITAN File and TITAN Live projects for the years 2010 to 2022.
The international crisis, although not in itself an indication of impairment, did not call into question medium term business projections by Group management. Therefore impairment losses in accordance with IAS 36 have not been recognised.
Depreciation and amortisation expense amounted to €1479k at 31 December 2022, compared with €1631k at 31 December 2021.
Note13: Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition cost (purchase price and incidental expenses) or at their cost of production by the Company.
The assets are subject to depreciation plans determined according to the actual duration of use of the asset.
The periods and methods of depreciation used are mainly as follows:
| Technical installations, equipment and tooling | 6 years - straight-line |
|---|---|
| General installations, fixtures and fittings | 9 years - straight-line |
| Transport equipment | 5 years - straight-line |
| Office equipment | 4 years - straight-line |
| IT equipment | 3 years - straight-line |
| Furniture | 10 years - linear |
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the income statement and allocated according to their use in the following categories: Cost of sales, marketing and selling expenses, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses.
Property, plant and equipment mainly consists of computer hardware.
No impairment losses were recognised in accordance with IAS 36 as described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Note 14: Rights of use
General accounting rules on the accounting for leases under IFRS 16:
Leases are leases (or contracts that contain a lease) that give a right to control the use of a particular asset for a certain period of time with consideration.
Leases that meet this definition are recognised in accordance with the methods defined below, except in the cases of exemptions provided for by the standard (duration of contracts less than 12 months, and/or low-value underlying assets), and except in contracts that are not restated because of their non-material impact.
In practice, the analysis has led to the restatement of only real estate leases, and office equipment. Leases that are not classified as leases are recorded under operating expenses. For contracts that fall within the scope of IFRS 16, accounting rules are set out below.
At the inception of the contract, the Group recognises an asset under the right of use and a financial liability under a lease obligation. Assets and liabilities are shown on a separate line of the balance sheet.
The rental obligation is measured at the present value of lease payments not yet paid over the term of the lease.
The present value is determined using the incremental borrowing rate calculated for each country over the term of the contract.
The lease term is the enforceable period, which corresponds to the non-cancellable period, plus any option to extend the contract that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, and any option to terminate the contract that the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise.
In practice, the terms used for the main leases in France correspond to an enforceable period of 9 years (commercial leases 3/6/9): Non cancellable period of 3 years and certainty of exercising extension options after 3 years and 6 years.
There are no termination clauses in the various leases and there are no clauses that could cause the lessors to pay the Group compensation more than immaterial, in the event of non-renewal of the lease at the end of the non-cancellable period.
Lease payments are fixed payments, variable payments that are linked to an index or interest rate, and the exercise prices of call options that the lessee is reasonably certain of exercising. In practice, there are no purchase options and there are no more than immaterial penalties if the lease is terminated at the lessor's initiative.
The right of use asset is measured using the cost model as follows: The cost is reduced by accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted to take into account any

revaluations of the rental obligation. No impairment loss or revaluation of the rental obligation was recognised in the financial years presented. In the absence of a purchase option, assets relating to the right to use are depreciated over the term of the contract as defined above.
Lease arrangements are amortised over the term of the lease, unless there is a set of assumptions that the underlying asset will be used over a period longer than the term of the lease.
Deferred tax on restated leases:
Pending the application of the amendment to IAS 12 'Income Taxes' applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2023, subject to adoption by the EU, the Group has elected to recognise a deferred tax on the restatement of leases corresponding to the impact on the income statement of the change recorded over the period. The Group has not identified any situations where it is lessor or leaseback situations.
The following table sets forth the application of IFRS 16 and the recognition of rights of use in assets:

The increase in the gross value of commercial leases corresponds to the entry of a new lease in France, as well as the updating of the term for a lease located in the United States.
Depreciation and amortisation expense amounted to €779k at 31 December 2022, compared with €895k at 31 December 2021. Departures are due to the end of leases and contracts.
The table below summarises the lease expense prior to the application of IFRS 16:

Note 15: Impairment
In accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets,' an entity shall perform an impairment test of its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets when it identifies an indication of impairment of one of them. In addition, an entity shall also, even if there is no indication of impairment,:
-
annually testing an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life or in the process of production;
-
perform an annual impairment test of goodwill acquired in a business combination.
Thus, changes in the general economic and financial context, the deterioration of local economic environments, as well as changes in performance, are in particular external impairment indicators that are analyzed by the Group to determine whether it is necessary to carry out impairment tests at a more frequent frequency.
If the recoverable amount is less than the net carrying amount of the asset or group of assets, an impairment loss is recognised.
Impairment of non current assets is reversible, except for goodwill.
Goodwill
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to each of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) or groups of Cash Generating Units that benefit from the combination effects. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at each balance sheet date or when there is an indication of impairment. Any impairment recognised is irreversible.
To determine the CGUs, the Group has adopted a segmentation based on the operational organization of the business lines, the management and reporting system and the segment information, ie a single CGU.
Determination of recoverable amount
o The need to recognise an impairment loss is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU with its recoverable amount.
o Recoverable amount is defined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
o Fair value less costs to sell is determined on the basis of available information that enables the best estimate of the selling value net of costs necessary to make the sale, on an arm's length basis, between knowledgeable, willing parties.
- o Value in use is determined based on:
- Cash flows relating to an explicit five year forecast period, the first year of this period based on the budget and subsequent periods corresponding to the business plan presented to Ateme shareholders;
- A normative cash flow representative of flows after this five year period, to which is applied a perpetual growth rate reflecting the expected real growth rate of the long term economy.
Cash flow forecasts for the explicit period take into account the projected growth rate of the CGU. Cash flows are discounted at weighted average cost of capital:
2022
If the carrying amount of the CGU, comprising intangible assets (including goodwill), property, plant and equipment and working capital requirements (WCR), exceeds its recoverable amount, the CGU's assets are written down to their recoverable amount.
The impairment loss is allocated first to goodwill and recorded in the income statement under 'Other non recurring operating income and expenses.'
The recognition of an impairment loss allocated to goodwill is definitive.
The determination of value in use is sensitive to the discount rate, estimated future cash flows and the long term growth rate used.
The Ateme group presents a single CGU.
The company carried out an impairment test on all these assets at 31 December 2022. Impairment tests are carried out on the basis of a 5 year projection of net cash flows from operating activities (operating cash flows, cash flows related to working capital requirements and investments). This projection is determined using the Company's budget data taking into account past experience and future prospects. Beyond this period, the Group calculates a terminal value of the CGU corresponding to the discounting of net cash flows from operations to infinity. The assumptions used to construct future cash flows at 31 December 2022 are as follows:
- 5 year projections of post tax cash flows, based on the business plan over the explicit period from the 2023 budget and forecasts to 2027 excluding external growth transactions, as well as the determination of normative cash flows, impacting the terminal value taking into account the following assumptions:
- Beyond these 5 years, the terminal value of the cash flows is obtained by applying to the normative cash flow at the end of the explicit period a long term growth rate This long term growth rate is estimated at 2%. The terminal value represents approximately 78% of the enterprise value at 31 December 2022.
- Cash flows are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) after tax and including a risk premium. At 31 December 2022, this rate was 13%.
For information, the following sensitivity tests would not lead to impairment:
- An increase of 2 points in the discount rate;
- The scenario of a 10 pts decline in recurring operating income on the terminal value,
- A perpetuity growth rate scenario of 1%.
Note 16: Other non current financial assets
The Company's financial assets are classified into two categories depending on their type and the intent to hold on to them:
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
- and loans and receivables.
All financial assets are initially recognised at the cost that corresponds to the fair value of the price paid plus acquisition costs.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category represents assets held for trading purposes, i.e. assets acquired by the Company with a view to selling them in the short term. They are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Some assets may also be subject to voluntary classification in this category.
Loans and receivables
This category includes other loans and receivables, as well as trade receivables.
Non-current financial assets include advances and collateral deposits given to third parties as well as term deposits not equivalent to cash equivalents. Advances and collateral deposits are nonderivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not listed on an active market.
Loans and receivables are now classified under 'Financial assets at amortised cost'.
Such assets are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired in accordance with IFRS 9.
| Other FINANCIAL ASSETS (Amounts in K €) |
31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans | 457 | 372 |
| Collateral deposits | 422 | 250 |
| Liquidity contract - Balance | 96 | 146 |
| BPI France Holdback | 201 | 200 |
| Financing reserves Factoring guarantees | - | 6 |
| Total other non-current financial assets | 1,176 | 975 |
Collateral deposits mainly concern deposits paid under the signed commercial leases.

Note 17: Inventories
Inventory is valued using the weighted average unit cost method. Inventory is recognised at the cost of purchase or net realisable value, if this value is lower. In the latter case, the impairment is recognised in profit or loss.
Composition of inventory
The inventory of raw materials consists mainly of electronic components used for the manufacture of Kyrion products.
Work-in-progress is individually identified by project codes that are linked to each outstanding client order. They consist of design costs (engineering hours) and material costs.
Inventory of goods is mainly composed of finished products (encoders, decoders, transcoders and third-party equipment) and electronic components.
The provision for impairment of inventories relates to components or merchandise that are subject to internal lending, testing or repair. Components or goods whose technological advances are beginning to render inventories obsolete or with little or no movements during the financial year are scrapped
| Inventories (Amounts in K €) |
31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory of raw materials | 299 | 192 |
| Work-in-progress Goods and Services | 915 | 778 |
| Inventory of goods | 9,221 | 5,973 |
| Gross total inventory | 10,435 | 6,943 |
| Impairment of inventory of raw materials | (9) | (14) |
| Impairment of inventory of goods | (421) | (371) |
| Total impairment of inventory | (430) | (385) |
| Total net inventory | 10,005 | 6,558 |
At 31 December 2022, the Group decided to increase these server inventories in anticipation of potential delays in supplier deliveries following the COVID crisis and the shortage of electronic components.
Note 18: Receivables
Receivables are valued at their nominal value. They shall, where appropriate, be impaired on a case-by-case basis by means of a provision to take into account the difficulties they may encounter in terms of collection.
The Group has opted for the simplified method of measuring impairment on its trade receivables.
Credit risk related to financial receivables and loans was measured according to the provisions of the comprehensive model under IFRS 9. No significant increase in credit risk has been identified in the two periods presented.
Other receivables include the nominal value of the research tax credit which is recognised in assets during the financial year when the expenses are engaged which make the Company eligible for the tax credit.
18.1 Trade receivables
| Trade Receivables (Amounts in K €) |
31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 |

| Impairment of trade receivables | (1,055) | (1,064) |
| Total net trade receivables | 37,409 | 32,289 |
Company products are sold to TV channels and on-demand video broadcasters. The risk of default was assessed as low.
The provision for impairment of individual trade receivables is calculated on a case-by-case basis based on the estimated risk of non-payment and the statistical component determined in accordance with IFRS 9.

(1) Research Tax Credit
The Company benefits from the provisions of Articles 244 quater B and 49 septies F of the French General Tax Code (Code général des impôts) for the research tax credit. In accordance with the principles described in Note 4, the research tax credit is recognised as a deduction from research expenses in the year to which eligible research expenses relate. This has been pre financed (see Note 23.1)
It is presented as a subsidy to the "Research and Development expenses" category. (2) VAT claims relate mainly to deductible VAT as well as to the VAT refund requested.
(3) Prepaid expenses relate to current expenses and mainly correspond to component purchases.
(4) Lreceivable on disposal of the Enterprise business was fully repaid during the year.
Note 19: Marketable securities and cash
Cash, Cash equivalents and Financial instruments
The cash balance recognised in the balance sheet includes cash in current accounts and cash on hand.
Cash equivalents are held for trading, readily convertible into a known cash amount and are subject to a negligible risk of change in value. They are measured at fair value and changes in value are recorded in financial profit or loss. They include term deposits corresponding to this impairment.
Bank overdrafts are included in current financial liabilities. In the cash flow statement, they are included in cash and cash equivalents.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of trade receivables and trade payables is assimilated in their balance sheet value, taking into account the very short payment terms of these items. The same applies to other receivables and other current liabilities.
The Company has identified three categories of financial instruments depending on the impact of their characteristics on their valuation methods and uses this classification to present some of the information required by IFRS 7:
- Level 1 category: Financial instruments quoted in an active market;
- Level 2 category: Financial instruments measured using valuation techniques based on observable inputs;
- Level 3 category: Financial instruments whose valuation involves the use of valuation techniques based in whole or in part on unobservable parameters; an unobservable parameter is defined as a parameter whose value results from assumptions or correlations that are not based on observable transaction prices in the markets, on the same instrument at the valuation date, or on observable market data available at the same date.
Only instruments designated as at fair value through profit or loss held by the Company are cash equivalents under level 1.
Cash and cash equivalents are analysed as follows:
| Cash And Cash Equivalents (Amounts in K €) |
31/12/2022 | 31/12/2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank accounts | 3,904 | 11,447 | |

Note 21: Share capital
The classification in equity depends on the specific analysis of the characteristics of each instrument issued. Ordinary shares and preferred shares are classified as equity instruments.
Incidental costs directly attributable to the issue of shares or stock options are recognised as a deduction from equity.
Capital issued
The share capital is set at €1579343.78. It is divided into 11,279,528 fully subscribed and paid ordinary shares with a nominal amount of €0.14.
This number excludes financial instruments granted to certain Group individuals.

Exercise of stock options and allocation of bonus shares in the Company
During the 2022 financial year, 1,500 stock options and 54,000 free shares vested were exercised and recorded in the financial statements:
- Each holder paid the subscription price of the shares upon exercise of the options for a total amount of €30k, including €30k charged to issue premiums.
The impact on earnings per share is presented in Note 9.
Capital management
The Company's policy is to maintain a solid capital base to preserve investor and creditor confidence and support the future development of the business.
Dividend distribution
The Company did not pay any dividends for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022.

Note 22: Stock warrants, stock options, founders' share warrants and free shares
Since its inception, the Company has set up a number of compensation plans that are settled in equity instruments in the form of stock options (SOs) or subscription warrants for founders' shares (Bons de Souscription de Parts de Créateur d'Entreprise - BSPCEs) awarded to employees, executives, and members of the Board of Directors.
In accordance with IFRS 2, the cost of transactions settled in equity instruments is recognised over the period in which the rights to equity instruments are acquired, in return for an increase in equity.
The Company has applied IFRS 2 to all equity instruments granted since the Company's inception to employees of the Company, the Group or members of the Board of Directors.
The fair value of the BSPCEs and stock options granted to employees is determined by application of the Black & Scholes option pricing model.
All the assumptions used for the valuation of the plans are described below.
Stock options (SO)
The table below summarises the data relating to the option plans issued as well as the assumptions used for the valuation according to IFRS 2:

On 23 March 2022, the Board of Directors granted 63,500 free shares to the Company's employees. They will be definitively acquired 24 months later on condition of continuous employment with the Company.
Methods for assessing the value of stock options and bonus shares
The fair value of the options was determined using the Black & Scholes valuation model. The valuation methods used to estimate the fair value of the options are specified below:
• The price of the share chosen is equal to the investor's subscription price or by reference to internal valuations;

- The risk-free rate is determined from the average life of the instruments;
- The volatility was determined on the basis of a sample of listed companies operating in the same business sector at the date of subscription of the instruments and over a period equivalent to the life of the option.
- For bonus share allocation plans, the fair value of the benefit granted on the basis of the share price at the grant date is adjusted for all specific conditions that may have an impact on fair value (e.g. dividends). As specified above, no dividends were taken into account during the valuation.

Note 23: Borrowings
Financial liabilities are classified in one category: Financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost.
Financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost
Borrowings and other financial liabilities, such as conditional advances, are recorded at amortised cost calculated using the effective interest rate. The portion of financial liabilities with maturity of less than one year is presented in "Current financial liabilities."
Conditional advances
The Company benefits from a number of public aid programmes, in the form of subsidies or conditional advances. Details of this aid are provided in Note 23.3.
They have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 20. With respect to financial advances, made at interest rates below the market rate, they are valued according to IFRS 9 at amortised cost:
- The rate advantage is determined using a discount rate corresponding to a market rate at the date of the grant. The amount resulting from the rate advantage obtained when granting repayable advances not bearing interest is considered a subsidy recorded as income in the statement of comprehensive income.
- The financial cost of repayable advances calculated at the market rate is then recorded in financial expenses.
Subsidies are presented at the level of the category:
- "Research and Development" for aid for innovation and financing of research activities,
- "Marketing and Sales" for prospection in new geographical areas.
These advances are recorded in "Non-current financial liabilities" and "Current financial liabilities" according to their maturity. Once a statement for unsuccessful conciliation proceedings has been issued, the write-off of the receivable is recognised in subsidies.
Finance leases
Assets financed by finance leases within the meaning of IFRS 16, which in substance transfer to Ateme the risks and rewards inherent in their ownership, are recognised as assets on the balance sheet. The corresponding debt is recorded as a liability under 'Borrowings on lease obligations' (Note 23.2).

The Company did not receive a new repayable advance in 2022 as indicated in the schedule.
Repayable advances
The share of advances received with a maturity of more than one year is recorded as "Non-current financial liabilities"; while the share with maturity of less than one year is recorded as "Current financial liabilities".
In IFRS, the fact that the repayable advance does not include payment of an annual interest is to consider that the Company has benefited from a zero interest rate loan, which is more favourable than market conditions. The difference between the amount of the advance at the historical cost and that of the discounted advance at a market rate is considered to be a subsidy received from the State.
EIF (European Investment Fund) innovation loan
The Company has obtained an EIF innovation loan from Bpifrance for an amount of €1,000 thousand for soft expenses linked to the industrial and commercial launch of an innovation. This loan is repayable in 28 quarterly payments, the first 8 quarters of which are deferred to a fixed rate of 3.52%. The loan was collected in November 2015.
- This loan has been received under the PPI (Prêt pour innovation, or loan for innovation) fund for 30% of the principal.
- This loan was secured by 50% of the principal from the Innov Fin facility of the European Investment Fund.
The repayment value of the debt was €100k at 31 December 2022, compared with €300k at 31 December 2021.
Bpifrance zero percent interest rate loan for innovation ("PTZI")
The Company obtained a zero percent interest rate loan for innovation (PTZI) from Bpifrance on 1 October 2015 for the amount of €1,500 thousand, repayable in 20 straight-line quarterly payments starting on 30 September 2017.
The fair value of this advance was determined on the basis of the interest rate of the EIF's innovation loan, i.e. 3.52% per annum.
The Company obtained a zero percent interest rate innovation loan from Bpifrance of €500 thousand for the development of an HD HEVC contribution encoder. The repayment started on 31 March 2017, for a period of 5 years, with an annual payment of €100 thousand. The loan was received by the
Company on 16 May 2014. The fair value of this advance was determined on the basis of an estimated interest rate of 4.85% per annum. At 31 December 2022, the loans were fully repaid.
Anevia obtained a €1100k interest free loan from Bpi France Financement in June 2015. The share capital is to be repaid in 20 quarterly payment schedules of €55k with a deferred amortisation period of 3 years. The first repayment took place on 30 June 2018 and the last on 31 March 2024. The repayment value of debt at 31 December 2022 was €330k, compared with €550k in 2021. The fair value of this advance was determined on the basis of the average credit rate of the company on the basis of borrowings contracted from 2014 to 2017. The rate used is 5.33%.
Aid to the IA4SEC project
On 14 November 2019, the company obtained assistance on the IA4SEC project from Bpifrance in the amount of €709,049, which consists of a subsidy of €472,699 and a recoverable advance of €236,350.
The fair value of this advance was determined on the basis of the interest rate of the Bpifrance international growth loan, i.e. 1.24% per annum (TEG).
The advance will be paid in 4 tranches over 4 years according to the following schedule:
- €66,667 after signature of the contract;
- €78,276 as from 31/08/2020;
- €44,138 as from 31/08/2021;
- €47,269 as from 14/03/2022.
Repayment of the debt will begin on 31 March 2024, at the first euro of revenues unless the programme fails.
Note 24: Employee benefit obligations
French employees of the Company benefit from the pension plans provided for by law in France:
- obtaining retirement indemnities paid by the Company on retirement (defined benefit plan);
- payment of pensions by social security bodies, which are financed by contributions from businesses and employees (defined contribution plan).
Pension schemes, similar compensation and other social benefits which are analysed as defined benefit plans (scheme in which the Company undertakes to guarantee an amount or a defined benefit level) are recognised on the balance sheet on the basis of an actuarial valuation of the commitments at the balance sheet date, less the fair value of the related plan assets.
This evaluation is based on the use of the projected unit credit method, taking into account staff turnover and mortality probabilities. Any actuarial gains and losses are recognised in equity, in "Other comprehensive income."
Payments by the Company for defined contribution plans are recognised as expenses in the income statement of the period to which they apply.
The Group's US employees are members of a 401k defined-contribution plan.
In a decision dated 20 April 2021, the IFRIC Committee considers that, since, on the one hand, no rights are acquired in the event of departure before retirement age and, on the other hand, the rights are capped after a certain number of years of service, the pension expense must be recognized over the years conferring rights to employees at the time of departure.
The collective agreement does not meet these criteria and the change in assessment is not
applicable.
Staff commitments shall consist of the provision for end-of-career allowances, assessed on the basis of the provisions of the applicable collective agreement, namely the SYNTEC collective agreement.
This liability relates only to employees under French law. The main actuarial assumptions used to assess retirement benefits are as follows:

The turnover rate was determined from a study carried out by INSEE on the entries and exits by age groups in correlation with the average turnover of the Company.
The rates used can be summarised as follows:
- From 20 to 30 years of age: declining rate from 18.30% to 10.90%
- From 30 to 40 years of age: declining rate from 10.90% to 6.30%
- From 40 to 50 years of age: declining rate from 6.30% to 4.20%
- From 50 to 60 years of age: declining rate from 4.20% to 1%
- From 60 to 67 years of age: declining rate from 1% to 0%
The provision for pension commitments has evolved as follows:
| Amounts in €'000 | Pension commitments |
|---|---|
| At 31 December 2021 | 1,224 |
| Past service costs | 173 |
| Benefits paid | (14) |

| Actuarial gains and losses | (140) |
| At 31 December 2022 | 1,259 |

Note 25: Provisions
Provisions reflect liabilities arising from various litigation and risks, for which the date of resolution and the amount are uncertain, that the Company may face as part of its business. A provision is recorded when the Company has an obligation to a third party resulting from a past event which is likely to result in an outflow of resources for the benefit of that third party, without consideration at least equivalent to its expected cash flow and that future cash outflows can be estimated reliably. The amount recognised in provision is the estimate of the expenditure required to extinguish the obligation, updated if necessary at the balance sheet date.

Loan Guaranteed by the State
On 14 April 2020, the Group received a loan of 4 million euros
On 30 June 2021, the Group took out a second loan of 1 million euros, benefiting from the State Guarantee for 90% of the amount borrowed from CIC Paris 9. The loan will be repaid over a period of 60 months including a 12 month deferral.
In May 2021, Ateme obtained a third 12 month loan of 2 million euros from HSBC Continental Europe to finance its operating cycle. In November 2022, the Company requested the amortisation option to request repayment within 5 years from January 2024.
All of its loans are covered by the State Guarantee in the amount of 90% for the benefit of the issuing banks.
Note 30: Financial risk management and assessment
Ateme may be exposed to various types of financial risks: Market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Where appropriate, Ateme uses simple means proportionate to its size to minimise the potentially adverse effects of these risks on financial performance. Ateme's policy is not to subscribe financial instruments for speculative purposes. Ateme does not use derivative financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
Ateme has no significant exposure to interest rate risk, as:
- marketable securities consist of short-term money market funds,
- cash includes term deposits,
- no variable rate debt has been taken on.
Credit risk
Credit risk is associated with deposits (bank accounts) with banks and financial institutions. Ateme uses leading financial institutions for its cash investments and therefore does not bear any significant credit risk on its cash position.
It has established policies to ensure that its clients have an appropriate credit risk history.
Currency risk
The main risks associated with foreign exchange impacts of sales and purchases carried out in foreign currency mainly concern sales of goods and expenses in US dollars and the financing of subsidiaries in their local currencies.
The Company has not, at its development stage, made a hedging provision to protect its business against fluctuations in exchange rates. On the other hand, the Company cannot exclude that a significant increase in its business could force it to have greater exposure to currency risk. The Company will then consider using a suitable hedging policy to cover these risks.
Equity risk
The Company does not hold investments or marketable securities on a regulated market.

2.1.3 Financial Assets
Financial assets consist of shares in subsidiaries and affiliates, loans and other assets.
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates are recognised at their acquisition date at their subscription or contribution price. Their recoverable amount is assessed at the end of each financial year. The latter is determined according to the share of the net assets. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss shall be recognised
Equity investments represented a total of €298k before provisions, broken down as follows:
- Equity interests in Ateme Canada Inc €0.65
- Equity interests in Ateme Inc (USA ) €263974.75
- Equity interests in Ateme Singapore €33602.72
- Investments in Ateme Australia €61.65
The decrease in equity interests is due to the universal transfer of assets between Ateme and Anevia and the liquidation of the Japanese subsidiary.
The loans granted in the amount of €457k relate to employer contributions to the construction effort.
Other Financial Assets for a total of €391k correspond to various guarantees:
- Deposits and guarantees €282k - Retained earnings in connection with the pre financing of the CIR €812k
- Retention of collateral for Bpifrance loans €200k
- Other non current assets €96k
2.2 Inventories and work in progress
Inventory is valued using the weighted average unit cost method. Inventory is recorded at the cost of purchase or net realisable value, if this value is lower. In the latter case, the impairment is recognised in profit or loss.
Composition of inventory
The inventory of raw materials consists mainly of electronic components used for the manufacture of Kyrion products.
Work-in-progress is individually identified by project codes that are linked to each outstanding client order. They consist of design costs (engineering hours) and material costs.
Inventory of goods is mainly composed of finished products (encoders, decoders, transcoders and third-party equipment) and electronic components.
The provision for impairment of inventories relates to components or merchandise that are subject to internal lending, testing or repair. Components or goods whose technological advances are beginning to render inventories obsolete or with little or no movements during the financial year are scrapped.

5. Financial risk management and assessment
Ateme may be exposed to various types of financial risks: Market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Where appropriate, Ateme uses simple means proportionate to its size to minimise the potentially adverse effects of these risks on financial performance. Ateme's policy is not to subscribe financial instruments for speculative purposes. Ateme does not use derivative financial instruments.
Interest rate risk
Ateme has no significant exposure to interest rate risk, as:
- marketable securities consist of short-term money market funds,
- cash includes term deposits,
- no variable rate debt has been taken on.
Credit risk
Credit risk is associated with deposits (bank accounts) with banks and financial institutions. Ateme uses leading financial institutions for its cash investments and therefore does not bear any significant credit risk on its cash position.
It has established policies to ensure that its clients have an appropriate credit risk history.
Currency risk
The main risks associated with foreign exchange impacts of sales and purchases carried out in foreign currency mainly concern sales of goods and expenses in US dollars and the financing of subsidiaries in their local currencies.
The Company has not, at its development stage, made a hedging provision to protect its business against fluctuations in exchange rates. On the other hand, the Company cannot exclude that a significant increase in its business could force it to have greater exposure to currency risk. The Company will then consider using a suitable hedging policy to cover these risks.
Equity risk
The Company does not hold investments or marketable securities on a regulated market.

Statutory Auditors' report on the financial statements
To the Ateme General Meeting,
Opinion
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ateme for the year ended 31 December 2022.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December, and of the results of its operations for the financial year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles.
The opinion expressed-above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
Basis of opinion
Audit standards
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our responsibilities under these standards are set out in the "Responsibilities of the Statutory Auditors in relation to the audit of the annual financial statements" section of this report.
Independence
we conducted our audit engagement in compliance with the independence requirements of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for Statutory Auditors for the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of our report, and in particular we did not provide any prohibited non audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
Justification of our assessments - Key points of the audit
In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823-9 and R. 823-7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks.
These assessments were made as part of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon-prior to this meeting. We do not express an opinion on any items of these financial statements taken individually.

► Analysing the data and assumptions used by management to identify inventories to be impaired; - ► attending year-end physical inventories;
- ► Perform a retrospective analysis of inventories not transferred during the year.
Specific verifications
We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by legal and regulatory texts.
Information given in the management report and in other documents on the financial position and the annual financial statements addressed to the shareholders
We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information given in the management report of the Board of Directors and in the other documents provided to the shareholders with respect to the financial position and the financial statements.
We attest to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information relating to the payment terms mentioned in Article D. 441-6 of the French Commercial Code.
Information on corporate governance
We attest that the section of the Board of Directors' management report on corporate governance contains the information required by Articles L. 225-37-4, L. 22-10-10 and L. 22-10-09 of the French Commercial Code.
Concerning the information given in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 22-10-09 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to remunerations and benefits received or granted to corporate officers and any other commitments made in their favor, we have verified its consistency with the financial statements, or with the underlying information used to prepare these financial statements and, where applicable, with the information obtained by your company from companies controlled by it that are included in the scope of consolidation. Based on this work, we attest to the accuracy and fair presentation of this information.
Concerning the information relating to items that your company considered likely to have an impact in the event of a public tender or exchange offer, provided in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 22-10-11 of the French Commercial Code, we have verified their compliance with the documents from which they are sourced and which have been communicated to us. On the basis of our work, we have no matters to report on this information.
Other information
In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the purchase of investments and controlling interests, the identity of shareholders and holders of voting rights and reciprocal shareholdings has been properly disclosed in the management report.
Other verifications or information required by law and regulations
Presentation of the annual financial statements for inclusion in the annual financial report
We have also verified, in accordance with the professional standard on the Statutory Auditor's procedures relating to the annual and consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the single European electronic reporting format, compliance with this format defined by European Delegated Regulation No. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 in the presentation of the annual financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report referred to in paragraph I of Article L. 451-1-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, prepared under the responsibility of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Based on our work, we conclude that the presentation of the annual financial statements for inclusion in the annual financial report respects, in all material respects, the single European electronic information format.
It is not our responsibility to verify that the annual financial statements that will actually be included by your company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF correspond to those on which we conducted our work.
Appointment of statutory auditors
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Ateme by your Annual General Meeting of 30 June 1997 for BL2A and 11 April 2014 for ERNST & YOUNG Audit.
As at 31 December 2022, BL2A was in the twenty sixth year of its uninterrupted engagement (including nine years since the company's shares were admitted to trading on a regulated market) and ERNST & YOUNG Audit in the ninth year.
Responsibilities of management and of the persons making up the corporate governance structure for the annual financial statements
It is the responsibility of management to prepare annual financial statements that present a true and fair view in accordance with French accounting rules and principles and to implement the internal control that it considers necessary to prepare annual financial statements that are free of material misstatement,- whether due to fraud or errors.
At the time of preparing the annual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, presenting in those financial statements, where applicable, the necessary information relating to the continuity of operations and applying the going concern accounting policy, unless it is planned to liquidate the company or to cease trading.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risk management systems, as well as, where applicable, internal audit, with respect to the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The annual financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors.
Responsibilities of the statutory auditors in relation to the audit of the annual financial statements
Audit objective and approach
Our role is to prepare a report on the annual financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual financial statements taken as a whole are free of material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, without however guaranteeing that an audit carried out in accordance with professional standards systematically allows any material misstatement to be detected. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors and are considered material when it can reasonably be expected that they could, individually or cumulatively, influence the economic decisions that consolidated financial statement users make on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.-
As specified in Article L. 823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of its management.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor shall exercise their professional judgement throughout this audit. In addition:
- ► They identify and assess the risks that the annual financial statements contain material misstatements, whether due- to fraud or errors, define and implement audit procedures to address these risks and obtain evidence that they consider sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for their opinion. The risk of non-detection- of a material misstatement arising from fraud is higher than the risk of a material misstatement arising from an error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, voluntary omissions, misrepresentation or circumvention of internal control;
- ► they take note of the internal control relevant for the audit in order to define the audit procedures appropriate in the circumstances, and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control;
- ► they assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as the related disclosures in the annual financial statements;
- ► they assess whether management's application of the going concern accounting policy is appropriate and, depending on the evidence collected, whether or not there is a significant uncertainty as a result of events or circumstances that could call into question the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on information gathered up to the date of their report, it being noted that subsequent circumstances or events could jeopardise the ability to continue as a going concern. If the auditor concludes that there is significant uncertainty, they draw the attention of the readers of their report to the information provided in the annual financial statements about this uncertainty or, if the information is not provided or is not relevant, they formulate a qualified certification or a refusal to certify;
- ► they assess the overall presentation of the annual financial statements and whether the annual financial statements reflect the underlying transactions- and events so as to present them fairly.
Report to the Audit Committee
We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes in particular a description of the scope of the audit and the audit programme implemented, as well as the conclusions of our audit. Where applicable, we also bring to its attention the significant weaknesses of the internal control that we have identified with respect to the procedures relating to the preparation and processing of financial and accounting information.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.

We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 confirming our independence within the meaning of the French rules as defined in particular by Articles L. 822-10 to L. 822-14 of the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks to our independence and the related safeguards.

Statutory Auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements
To the Ateme General Meeting,
Opinion
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ateme for the year ended 31 December 2022.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December, and of the results of its operations for the financial year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The opinion expressed-above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
Basis of opinion
Audit standards
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements' section of our report.
Independence
We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with the independence requirements set out in the French Commercial Code and the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors for the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of our report, and in particular we did not provide any prohibited non audit services referred to in Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 .
Justification of our assessments - Key points of the audit
In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823-9 and R. 823-7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks.
These assessments were made as part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole and as part of our opinion expressed-above. We do not express an opinion on any elements of these consolidated financial statements taken individually.

Measurement of goodwill
Identified risk Our response
Annual Financial Report as at 31 December 2022
At 31 December 2022, goodwill amounted to €12.9 in net value, or 12.7% of consolidated assets.
As disclosed in Note 11 'Business combinations and goodwill' to the consolidated financial statements, goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment. These goodwill are tested at the level of cash generating units (CGUs), which constitute homogeneous groups generating cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by the other CGUs.
As indicated in Note 15 'Impairment' to the consolidated financial statements, the need to recognise an impairment loss is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU with its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is defined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of value in use is sensitive to the discount rate, the estimated future cash flows and the long term growth rate used.
As a change in these assumptions may affect the recoverable amount of goodwill, and given their importance in the consolidated financial statements, we considered the measurement of goodwill to be a key audit matter.
After reviewing and assessing the process developed by management to estimate the recoverable amount of goodwill, we obtained the CGU's impairment test from management. On the basis of this information, with the help of our evaluation experts integrated into the audit team, we conducted our work with particular attention to the following elements:
- ► Regarding the key assumptions used to determine cash flows and long term growth rates, we assessed the consistency of the assumptions with respect to the Group's historical performance and the operating budgets established by management for the coming financial year including forecasts for the following five years;
- ► Regarding discount rates, we compared the rates used with market benchmarks;
- ► Regarding the sensitivity analyses performed by management, we analysed the calculations made to identify whether a change in the assumptions would lead to the recognition of a significant impairment of goodwill.

Specific verifications
We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by law and regulations of the information relating to the Grouppresented in the management report of the Board of Directors.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
Other verifications or information required by law and regulations
Presentation of the consolidated financial statements for inclusion in the annual financial report
We have also verified, in accordance with the professional standard on the Statutory Auditor's procedures relating to the annual and consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the single European electronic reporting format, compliance with this format defined by European Delegated Regulation No. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report referred to in paragraph I of Article L. 451-1-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code, prepared under the responsibility of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As regards the consolidated financial statements, our procedures include verifying that the marking of these financial statements complies with the standards set out in the aforementioned regulation.
Based on our work, we conclude that the presentation of the consolidated financial statements for inclusion in the annual financial report complies, in all material respects, with the single European electronic information format.
Due to the technical limitations inherent in the macro marking of the consolidated financial statements according to the single European electronic information format, it is possible that the content of certain tags in the notes to the financial statements may not be returned in the same way as the consolidated financial statements attached to this report.
In addition, it is not our responsibility to verify that the consolidated financial statements that will actually be included by your company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF correspond to those on which we conducted our work.
Appointment of statutory auditors
We were appointed Statutory Auditors of Ateme by your Annual General Meeting of 30 June 1997 for BL2A and 11 April 2014 for ERNST & YOUNG Audit.
