1 Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions and other products sold.

2 Net sales (determined in line with the French professional status for subscription sales) only include the amount of compensation paid by magazine publishers; for subscription sales, net sales therefore correspond to a gross margin, deducting the cost of magazines sold from the amount of sales recorded.

3 As announced previously, the German subsidiary and OFUP's network business have been classed as discontinued operations or operations currently being sold off. The figures at 30 June 2010 are therefore compared against restated figures for the same period in 2009.
