DASSAULT AVIATION Group's business report
for 2016 first half-year
1. Consolidated key figures and highlights of the first half-year
1.1 ORDER INTAKE
Consolidated order intake in the first half of 2016 amounted to EUR 1,378 million, compared to EUR 4,331 million in the first half of 2015, which was marked by the Egyptian order for 24 RAFALE.
Exports accounted for 64%, compared to 95% in the first half of 2015.
Order intake trends are as follows, in EUR millions:
| DEFENSE | FALCON | Total | % Export | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | Export | ||||
| H1 2015 | 197 | 3,524 | 610 | 4,331 | 95% |
| 86% | 14% | ||||
| H1 2016 | 454 | 146 | 778 | 1,378 | 64% |
| 44% | 56% |
FALCON programs
FALCON consolidated order intake amounted to EUR 778 million, compared to EUR 610 million in the first half of 2015.
In the first half of 2016, we recorded, in particular, 22 FALCON orders and 11 FALCON 5X cancellations, as a result of delays on the SilverCrest engine by SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINES. Order intake in the first half of 2015 totaled 25 FALCON, and 20 FALCON NetJets were canceled.
DEFENSE programs
DEFENSE order intake totaled EUR 600 million in the first half of 2016, compared to EUR 3,721 million in the first half of 2015.
The decrease in DEFENSE Export order intake (EUR 146 million in the first half of 2016, compared to EUR 3,524 million in the first half of 2015) was mainly due to the Egyptian order for 24 RAFALE in the first half of 2015.
The increase in DEFENSE France order intake (EUR 454 million in the first half of 2016, compared to EUR 197 million in the first half of 2015) was primarily due to the contract for the MIRAGE 2000D upgrade.
1.2 NET SALES
Consolidated net sales in the first half of 2016 were EUR 1,662 million, compared to EUR 1,675 million in the first half of 2015.
Exports accounted for 81% of net sales.
Consolidated sales trends are as follows, in EUR millions:
| DEFENSE | FALCON | Total | % Export | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | Export | ||||
| H1 2015 | 285 | 471 | 919 | 1,675 | 79% |
| 45% | 55% | ||||
| H1 2016 | 283 | 526 | 853 | 1,662 | 81% |
| 49% | 51% |
FALCON programs
FALCON net sales in the first half of 2016 totaled EUR 853 million, compared to EUR 919 million in the first half of 2015.
15 new aircraft were delivered in the first half of 2016, compared to 18 in the first half of 2015.
FALCON net sales accounted for 51% of consolidated net sales in the first half of 2016.
DEFENSE programs
DEFENSE net sales totaled EUR 809 million, compared to EUR 756 million in the first half of 2015 (which included the delivery of the Indian MIRAGE 2000 modernization works).
4 RAFALE were delivered to France and 3 RAFALE to Egypt in the first half of 2016, compared to 1 RAFALE to France in the first half of 2015.
xxxx
The "book to bill" ratio (order intake / net sales) was 0.83.

1.3 BACKLOG
The consolidated backlog at June 30, 2016 was EUR 13,931 million, compared to EUR 14,175 million at December 31, 2015, including:
- 87 FALCON (91 at end-2015),
- 34 RAFALE France (38 at end-2015),
- 42 RAFALE Export (45 at end-2015).
N.B.: DASSAULT AVIATION recognizes the RAFALE Export contracts in their entirety (i.e. including the THALES and SNECMA parts), whereas for France, only the DASSAULT AVIATION part is recognized.
1.4 FIRST HALF OF 2016 PERFORMANCE (ADJUSTED DATA)
1.4.1 Preamble
To reflect the actual economic performance of the Group, and for monitoring and comparability reasons, the DASSAULT AVIATION Group has prepared an adjusted income statement. The consolidated income statement of the Group is therefore adjusted:
- by the amortization of the THALES purchase price allocation (PPA),
- by the valuation of the foreign-exchange derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, by neutralizing the change in fair value of these instruments,
- by the adjustments made by THALES in its financial reporting.
1.4.2 First half of 2016 key data (adjusted data)
The table below shows the key data for the first half of 2016 and the first half of 2015 by detailing the adjusted aggregates (the table of reconciliation between consolidated income and adjusted income can be found in the appendix):
| (in EUR thousands) | H1 2016 | H1 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 1,662,352 | 1,675,329 |
| Operating income | 125,278 | 143,820 |
| Adjusted financial income | 17,225 | 16,423 |
| Adjusted share in net income of equity associates | 91,240 | 74,169 |
| Adjusted income tax | -48,762 | -54,969 |
| Adjusted net income | 184,981 | 179,443 |
| Attributable to the owners of the Parent Company | 184,966 | 179,416 |
| Attributable to non-controlling interests | 15 | 27 |
| Adjusted earnings per share (in EUR) | 21.4 | 20.1 |

1.5 OPERATING INCOME
Consolidated operating income in the first half of 2016 was EUR 125 million, compared to EUR 144 million in the first half of 2015.
The operating margin was 7.5%, compared to 8.6% in the first half of 2015.
The decrease was due to:
- competitive pressure on FALCON sales prices, which intensified between the two half-years,
- the adverse impact of the conversion into EUR of USD items in the balance sheet in the first half of 2016 (USD/EUR 1.11 at June 30, 2016, compared to USD/EUR 1.09 at December 31, 2015) whereas it was favorable in the first half of 2015 (USD/EUR 1.12 at June 30, 2015, compared to USD/EUR 1.21 at December 31, 2014). The change in this conversion impacts the income statement, without being indicative of the financial performance over the period,
- partially offset by the decrease in the weighting of self-financed R&D.
1.6 ADJUSTED FINANCIAL INCOME
Adjusted financial income in the first half of 2016 was EUR 17 million, comparable to that in the first half of 2015 (EUR 16 million).
1.7 THALES CONTRIBUTION
The contribution of THALES adjusted net income, before amortization of the Purchase Price Allocation, was EUR 89 million in the first half of 2016, compared to EUR 72 million in the first half of 2015.
1.8 ADJUSTED NET INCOME
Adjusted net income in the first half of 2016 was EUR 185 million, compared to EUR 179 million in the first half of 2015. The adjusted net margin was 11.1% in the first half of 2016, compared to 10.7% in the first half of 2015.
N.B.: IFRS net income in the first half of 2016 was EUR 238 million, compared to EUR -132 million in the first half of 2015. For the record, the loss in the first half of 2015 was wholly due to the change in the market value of foreign exchange instruments which did not qualify for hedge accounting: EUR +69 million in the first half of 2016, compared to EUR -280 million in the first half of 2015. These instruments are used to hedge commercial flows; DASSAULT AVIATION neutralizes this change, as it considers that gains or losses on hedging should impact income at the same time as the commercial flows occur.
1.9 FINANCIAL REPORTING
IFRS 8 requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria.
The entire activity of the DASSAULT AVIATION Group relates to the aviation and aerospace domain. The internal reporting made to the Chairman and CEO and to the Chief Operating Officer, which is used for strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis, (as defined by IFRS 8), at a level lower than this domain.
2. Financial structure
2.1 BALANCE SHEET
Total equity amounted to EUR 3,254 million at June 30, 2016, compared to EUR 3,771 million at December 31, 2015, a reduction of EUR 517 million.
This decrease was mainly due to the buyback of 502,282 treasury shares for EUR 477 million (for the record, at June 30, 2016, the Group held 912,253 treasury shares, recognized as a deduction from equity for EUR 879 million).
Borrowings and financial debts amounted to EUR 1,192 million at June 30, 2016, compared to EUR 1,210 million at December 31, 2015. They include:
- the bank borrowings subscribed in 2014 and 2015 for a total of EUR 1,000 million. It should be noted that the Company did not subscribe any new bank loan for the purpose of share buybacks in the first half of 2016,
- locked-in employee profit-sharing funds.
2016 first half-year financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION
DASSAULT AVIATION Group's business report
for 2016 first half-year
At June 30, 2016, inventories and work-in-progress increased by EUR 546 million. They thus amounted to EUR 3,974 million at June 30, 2016, compared to EUR 3,428 million at December 31, 2015. This increase was due to the rise in FALCON work-in-progress, as a result of the level of deliveries during the half-year.
Advances and progress payments received on orders net of advances and progress payments paid rose EUR 660 million at June 30, 2016 mainly due to RAFALE Export downpayments.
Derivative financial instruments had a market value of EUR -380 million at June 30, 2016 compared to EUR -506 million at December 31, 2015. The resulting positive change of EUR +126 million was mainly due to the trend in the USD/EUR exchange rate at June 30, 2016 (USD/EUR 1.11 compared to USD/EUR 1.09 at December 31, 2015).
2.2 CASH
The Group uses a specific indicator, referred to as "Available cash", which reflects the total liquidity available to the Group, net of any financial debts. It covers the following balance sheet items:
- cash and cash equivalents,
- available-for-sale marketable securities (at their market value),
- financial debts.
Consolidated Available Cash amounted to EUR 2,432 million at June 30, 2016 compared to EUR 2,885 million at December 31, 2015, down EUR 453 million. This decrease was mainly explained by:
- the treasury share buyback totaling EUR 477 million,
- the increase in inventories and work-in-progress of EUR 546 million,
partially offset by:
- the EUR 660 million increase in advances and progress payments received on orders net of advances and progress payments paid.
The Group has no significant risk in relation to its marketable securities. The Group's portfolio of marketable securities mainly includes money market funds and guaranteed investment funds.
3. Outlook for 2016
In March 2016, the Group planned to deliver 9 RAFALE (6 France and 3 Egypt) and 60 FALCON.
Our 2016 delivery forecast for 9 RAFALE (6 France and 3 Egypt) remains unchanged.
Due to the current weakness of the business jet market, we are reducing our forecast for 2016 deliveries from 60 to 50 FALCON.
2016 net sales should be below the 2015 level, due, in particular, to the impact of the Indian MIRAGE 2000 modernization program in 2015.
4. Shareholder information
As part of the plan by AIRBUS GROUP to sell its stake in the capital of DASSAULT AVIATION, on June 10, 2016, AIRBUS GROUP:
- sold 1,327,466 DASSAULT AVIATION shares through a private placement, at a price of EUR 950 per share to institutional investors (825,184 shares, representing 9.05% of the capital) and to DASSAULT AVIATION (502,282 shares, representing 5.51% of the capital),
- issued bonds exchangeable into 825,184 DASSAULT AVIATION shares, representing 9.05% of the capital.
Following this transaction and in the event of the exchange in full of the bonds or the exercise of its share redemption option, AIRBUS GROUP will no longer hold any shares or voting rights in DASSAULT AVIATION.
In order to buyback 502,282 of its treasury shares under this plan, on June 3, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the activation of the 3rd share buyback program authorized by the Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2016. The program authorizes the acquisition of a number of shares representing up to 10% of the Company's capital at a maximum price of EUR 1,500 per share over

- the ongoing work on the development of the F3-R standard, with in particular the 3rd guided firing of the METEOR missile,
- the manufacturing approval (RAP) issued by the DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement, the French Defense Procurement Agency). This approval recognizes the Company's ability to manufacture and fly the RAFALE export aircraft. This activity was previously done under the direct supervision of the DGA,
-
the ongoing negotiations with the Indian authorities regarding the order of 36 RAFALE, following the inter-governmental agreement between France and India signed on January 25, 2016,
-
the continuation of promotional and prospecting activities in other countries.
As regards the other programs, it has to be noted:

- continued providing assistance to MIRAGE 2000 in export markets,
- began the MIRAGE 2000 Qatar major inspections at the client's facility,
- launched ALPHAJET Qatar major inspections.
8. Research & development
Most of our research and development is focused on the FALCON and RAFALE programs. This work is largely self-financed.
Beyond these programs, we are pushing forward with the "Futur FALCON à Technologies Innovantes" plan ("FALCON Future with Innovative Technologies"), taking advantage of national support for civil aviation and European support.
We continued our involvement in the CLEANSKY 2 research programs and the research projects undertaken by the COnseil pour la Recherche Aéronautique Civile (CORAC, Strategic Committee for Civil Aviation Research).
9. New industrial manufacturing and management techniques
We continue to develop the composite line:
- demonstrator for a composite wing-box for business aircraft,
- fiber placement for the manufacture of composite parts.
In the area of metallic materials, we are continuing our work to automate the forming of machined panels in order to use low density aluminum alloys.
We are continuing robotized assemblies for both wings and fuselages.
With regard to primary parts, as part of our effort to reduce environmental impact:
- we are replacing chemical-based methods with mechanical machining processes,
- we are developing and rating new chrome-free surface treatment processes in order to comply with the future requirements of the European REACH Regulation.
In all our production facilities, we continue the deployment of 'ARP' (Improving Responsiveness in Production) projects, which aim to improve working conditions (especially at reducing work environment stress), as well as quality, flexibility and competitiveness.
We are pursuing the wide-scale application of the extended digital enterprise and of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which gives us a technological lead.

for 2016 first half-year
10. Environmental Policy
In the first half of 2016, studies continued on the "Develop green aviation" initiative:
- on innovative technologies such as systems, composites, aerodynamics, propulsion integration,
- as part of European programs such as CLEANSKY (Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft) and CLEANSKY2 (airframe), and national programs (CORAC/PIA), particularly with the development of a composite wing demonstrator.
As part of the "Green manufacturing" policy, we worked on:
- replacing hazardous substances, in particular hexavalent chromium, in accordance with the requests for authorization filed in May 2015,
- researching and rating more environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques (direct production, new stripping techniques, etc.).
11. Health and Safety at Work
The priorities of our 2016 Health and Safety at Work policy are as follows:
- continue developing the "prevention & safety at work" culture by training management,
- strengthen safety concerns during off-site work and while monitoring sub-contractors in our facilities,
- reduce the risk of work-related accidents and occupational illnesses by making working at height safer, taking ergonomics into account, in particular to prevent repetitive strain injuries, and reducing staff exposure to harmful chemicals.
12. Human Resources
The Group had 12,176 employees at June 30, 2016.
13. Conclusion
As in 2015, the first half of 2016 saw an unstable geopolitical and economic environment. Emerging market countries continue to face economic difficulties; the United States, in election season, has still not seen sustained lasting growth; by voting to leave the European Union, the UK has created instability throughout Europe, which hardly emerges from crisis.
Against this background, business aviation is facing weak demand and the second hand market remains challenging. We are dealing with intense competition from our competitors as they continue to put pressure on prices. Our FALCON sales are disappointing and the number of deliveries is a direct consequence of this situation. We are compelled to reduce our forecast for 2016 deliveries from 60 to 50 FALCON.
In the military sector, the foundations have been laid for the future in order to assure and prepare the future of combat aviation and retain essential industrial skills.
DASSAULT AVIATION has once again shown, in this half-year, its unique ability to be a major dual player in business aviation and military aviation:
- certification of the FALCON 8X by EASA and FAA. The development of the FALCON 8X proceeded in line with expectations and we are proud to be on track with the original schedule and delighted with the performance of the aircraft. The first deliveries are scheduled for Q4 2016,
- the flight demonstration, at the meeting organized by the French Air Force in Istres, last June, of the European demonstrator nEUROn combat drone. It is the first time in the history of global aviation that a ground-controlled stealth aircraft has been publicly demonstrated. After take-off, the nEUROn was joined by a RAFALE and a FALCON 8X, thereby flying in formation as part of the centenary celebrations of our Group, which has designed, manufactured and supported civil and military aircraft since 1916.

2016 first half-year financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION
DASSAULT AVIATION
This technological excellence is required to respond to a challenging economic environment. It must go hand-in-hand with flexibility and responsiveness. Thus, in the first half-year, we responded to competitive pressures in particular by:
- moving all our FALCON completion activity to our specialized facility in Little Rock - Arkansas,
- demonstrating our ability to rapidly and significantly adapt our self-financed Research and Development work in response to the freezing of the FALCON 5X program.
Our strategy is built around:
- selling the RAFALE to India and pursuing opportunities with our other prospects,
- selling the whole FALCON range because, apart from the competitiveness issue, we believe in the business aviation market,
- continuing to develop the FALCON 5X and, despite the challenging environment, prepare the launch of a new FALCON program,
- getting France to clarify its position (drafting of the 2020 - 2025 Military Planning Law) on the future of the RAFALE and drones,
being at the cutting edge of technology including suborbital flight expertise and stay at the forefront of pyrotechnics.
In order to execute this strategy, we are currently considering a progressive transformation plan in the following fields:
- corporate culture, quality and organization,

2016 first half-year financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION
DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP
Note 1 - Accounting principles
1.1 General principles
On July 21, 2016, the Board of Directors closed and authorized the publication of the consolidated financial statements of DASSAULT AVIATION at June 30, 2016.
DASSAULT AVIATION Group prepares its interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union at June 30, 2016.
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting rules and methods used to prepare the 2015 consolidated financial statements, and reflect the changes in basis on accounting detailed below in section 1.2.
Special characteristics of interim consolidated financial statements
Seasonality
In previous years, a recurring seasonality phenomenon has been observed, with a higher level of business in the second half. As a result, the interim results as at June 30, 2016 are not necessarily representative of what might be expected for full-year 2016.
Income tax
For the purposes of the interim financial statements, the tax expense (current and deferred) is calculated by applying the estimated average rate for the whole year to the income for the period.
Provisions for retirement payments
Pension costs for interim period are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take into account curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events during the period.
Furthermore, amounts recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the geographic area concerned (the benchmark used to determine the discount rate) and the actual return on plan assets.
1.2 Changes in basis of accounting
Standards, amendments and interpretations for mandatory application as of January 1, 2016
The main mandatory texts at January 1, 2016 are as follows:
- the amendment to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits",
- the amendment to IFRS 11 "Accounting for Acquisition of Interests in Joint Operations",
- the amendment to IAS 16 and IAS 38 on acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization,
- the amendment to IAS 1 "Disclosure Initiative",
- IFRS annual improvements to the 2010-2012 cycle,
- IFRS annual improvements to the 2012-2014 cycle.
These texts did not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Standards, amendments and interpretations for mandatory application after January 1, 2016
No texts have been adopted by the European Union that would be mandatory for years beginning after January 1, 2016.
The standards, amendments or interpretations published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union have not been applied in advance by the Group for the preparation of its consolidated financial statements when this option was available.
2016 first half-year financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION
23
Consolidated Financial Statements
These texts mainly concern:
- IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments",
- IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers",
- IFRS 16 "Leases",
- the amendment to IAS 12 "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses", applicable on or after January 1, 2017.
The effects of these texts on the Group's financial statements are currently being assessed. Working groups have in particular been established for the transition to the new IFRS 15.
1.3 Segment reporting
IFRS 8, "Operating Segments", requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria. The activity of the DASSAULT AVIATION Group relates entirely to the aerospace sector. The internal reporting made to the Chairman-Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Operating Officer, which is used for strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis, as defined by IFRS 8, at a level lower than this sector.

Note 17 - Financial risk management
17.1 Cash and liquidity risks
17.1.1 Financial debt
The Group has no significant risk in relation to its financial debt. The contracts for these loans include the usual default clauses and restrictions in terms of security conditions and merger or sale transactions. One of the loans clauses stipulates that an anticipated repayment would be demanded if GIMD were to hold less than 50% of the capital of DASSAULT AVIATION before the loan maturity date. These loans do not contain any accelerated repayment or prepayment clauses based on rating or financial ratios. The features of these loans are described in Note 9.

Consolidated Financial Statements
17.1.2 Cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale marketable securities
The Group investment portfolio is primarily composed of money market investments with no significant risk of impairment.
| (in EUR thousands) | 06.30.2016 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Historical cost | Unrealized capital gain / loss | Consolidated asset value | As % | |
| Cash at bank and in hand, money market investments and time deposits | 2,099,307 | 101,288 | 2,200,595 | 60% |
| Investments in bonds (1) | 211,132 | 136,475 | 347,607 | 10% |
| Diversified investments (1) | 580,229 | 495,139 | 1,075,368 | 30% |
| Total | 2,890,668 | 732,902 | 3,623,570 | 100% |
(1) Investments in bonds and diversified investments are in most cases backed by guarantees, which limits the risk of impairment.
The Group can therefore meet its commitments without any liquidity risk due to its cash resources and its portfolio of available-for-sale marketable securities. The Group is not faced with restrictions with regard to the availability of its cash and its portfolio of marketable securities.
17.2 Credit and counterparty risks
17.2.1 Credit risk on bank counterparties
The Group spreads its investments and performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. The Group has no investments or accounts with financial institutions presenting a significant risk of default.
17.2.2 Customer default risk
The Group limits counterparty risk by performing most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans are secured by COFACE export insurance or collateral. The share of receivables not covered by these procedures is subject to regular individual monitoring and, if necessary, a provision for impairment.
Given the arrangements in risk mitigation in place and provisions made in its accounts, the residual exposure of the Group to the risk of default by a customer in a country subject to uncertainties is limited.
The amounts of COFACE export insurance guarantees and collateral obtained for these loans and not exercised at June 30, 2016 are comparable to the amounts at December 31, 2015.
The manufacturing risk is also guaranteed with COFACE for major military export contracts.

17.3 Other market risks
17.3.1 Market risks
The Group hedges its foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and the risk of fluctuations in commodity prices by means of derivative financial instruments, the carrying amount of which is presented below:
| (in EUR thousands) | 06.30.2016 | 12.31.2015 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities | |
| Foreign exchange derivatives | 30,882 | 400,606 | 26,813 | 526,892 |
| Interest rate derivatives | 0 | 9,754 | 0 | 3,582 |
| Commodity derivatives | 0 | 729 | 0 | 1,990 |
| Derivative financial instruments | 30,882 | 411,089 | 26,813 | 532,464 |
| Net derivative financial instruments | 380,207 | 505,651 |
Foreign exchange derivatives:
The Group is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the Parent Company in relation to its FALCON sales that are virtually all denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange options.
The Group partially hedges its cash flows that are considered highly probable. It ensures that the initial future cash flows will be sufficient to use the foreign exchange hedges in place. The hedged amount may be adjusted as a function of changes over time in expected net cash flows.
The foreign exchange derivative instruments used by the Group do not all qualify for hedge accounting under the terms of IAS 39 "Financial Instruments". The analysis of the instruments is presented in the table below:
| (in EUR thousands) | Market value as of 06.30.2016 | Market value as of 12.31.2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Instruments which qualify for hedge accounting | -6,484 | -31,432 |
| Instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting | -363,240 | -468,647 |
| Foreign exchange derivatives | -369,724 | -500,079 |
Interest rate derivatives:
The Group is exposed to the volatility of interest rates through its loans contracted at a variable rate (see Note 9). The loans were swapped at a fixed rate to limit this risk.
Commodity derivatives:
The Group marginally uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in kerosene prices.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your General Shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2-III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of DASSAULT AVIATION, for the period from January 1st to June 30th, 2016;
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
CONCLUSION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
SPECIFIC VERIFICATION
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
