		Variation
In Million Euros	2 nd quarter 2010	Q2-10 / Q1-10	Q2-10 / Q2-09
Sales	6,30	+ 19 %	+ 21 %

The consolidated turnover (non-audited) of Egide group for the second quarter 2010 reached 6.30 million Euros, a strong progression as much as sequential (+19%) when compared to the same quarter in 2009 (+21%). Egide France represents 64 % of the total consolidated sales, Egide USA 30 % and Egide UK 6 %. The military and space sector amounted to 52 % of sales, the industrial sector 26 % and the telecom sector 22 %.

So, sales for the first half year are 11.5 million Euros, against 11.2 million Euros in the first half year 2009 (excluding the non-recurring items) and 9.9 million Euros in the second half year 2009.

Philippe Brégi, Chairman and CEO of Egide group, stated: "This significant growth comes from, as expected, the solid military and civil infra-red markets and from the upturn of the Telecom sector. Egide has also benefited from a more favourable Euro/Dollar exchange rate. The choice of technological excellence made by Egide, as much in R&D as in industrial capabilities, has borne fruit and given the group the opportunity to emerge from the crisis with many trump cards to pursue the growth. In this context, the third quarter should be at the same level of sales as the second one and the fourth quarter should show a new progression, validating our step-by-step recovery scenario."
