Ladies and Gentlemen,

In accordance with the Law and the company By-Laws, we have convened this Combined General Meeting to report to you on the activity of our company and its subsidiaries during the past financial year and submit for your approval the Company Accounts and the Consolidated Accounts for year ending 31 December 2016.

Group's Activities and Results

The consolidated turnover of financial year 2016 amounted to €196.3 million against €206.9 million in 2015, down 5.1%. On a like-for-like basis and currency rate, turnover was down 6.0%.

The Extrusion Sector's turnover was €105.1 million in 2016, i.e down 3.4% on the previous year. The activity of the French sites remained stable (-0.2%) while that of German Dold and Chine sites, was generally down by 7.6%.

The turnover of the Pumps Sector, at €91.1 million, was down 7.1% on the previous year. On a like-for-like basis and currency rate, turnover was down 9.1% Oil & Gas represented half the activity and the Industry and Food Sectors the other half.

Comments on the scope

The Accounts of Sydex Srl (Italy), a company in which a 55% stake was taken in late June 2016, are now fully consolidated. Six months of activity and results were therefore integrated into the Group scope in 2016.

Detailed comments on the consolidated incomes

The Group's consolidated operating income in 2016 amounted to a profit of €12.9 million against €7.8 million in 2015.

The contribution of the Extrusion Sector, although still positive, was down 10.5% on 2015 (€5.1 million compared to €5.7 million).

The Contribution of the Pumps Sector improved and made €7.4 million in profit (+€1.9 million in 2015).

This improvement was the consequence of operational adjustment measures taken since the summer of 2015.

The operating income reports a profit of €14.2 million against plus €3.2 million in 2015, this increase being due mainly to the positive effect of the renegotiation of a supplies contract in the Oil & Gas field (€9.5 million), attenuated by a depreciation of industrial assets (€8.1 million) by applying Standard IAS 36 in the Extrusion Sector.

In 2015, that income was affected by a loss of value on a noncurrent asset of €4.1 million.

The consolidated financial result in 2016 made a profit of €0.8 million compared to a loss of €3.0 million the previous year owing to unfavourable currency effects in 2015.

In 2016, net consolidated taxes amounted to €0.5 million against €3.8 million in 2015. They included €5.5 million of payable taxes, offset by €5.0 million of deferred taxes.

Consolidated net income for financial year 2016 of consolidated companies was a profit of €14.5 million against a negative at €3.6 million in 2015.

The share of income attributable to interests not conferring control was established as a loss of €0.1 million.

To conclude, the consolidated net income for financial year 2016 amounts to a profit of €14.6 million against minus €2.4 million in 2015.

The cash flow amounted to €28.1 million against €11.0 million in 2015.

The contribution of the different Sectors to the consolidated income of the whole is explained in the Appendix to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 18).

Group Investments

By 2016, the Group's general non-financial gross investments amounted to €10.9 million compared to €12.7 million in 2015.

Intangible investments amounted to €1.8 million (€1.6 million in 2015) and tangible investments to €9.1 million (€11.1 million in 2015).

Per sector, these investments amounted to:

  • €6.3 million against €8.0 million in 2015 in the Extrusion Sector,

  • €4,6 million against €4,7 million in 2015 in the Pumps Sector.

Jobs

The Group's workforce on 31 December 2016, excluding temporary staff, totalled 1,251 people, including 501 outside France against 1,287 people including 499 outside France at the end of December 2015.

Consolidated balance sheet structure

The consolidated balance sheet total amounted to €351.8 million against €324.7 million at the end of 2015, an increase of €27.1 million.

Non-current assets of €82.9 million were down €3.3 million. This decline was due to negative variations in goodwill and net investments for -€5.4 million and deferred tax assets of +€2.0 million and +€0.1 million of miscellaneous.

Current assets of €268.9 million were up €30.4 million.

The main changes concern gross Cash Flow for + €17.0 million, net Inventories for - €6.0 million, Trade and Other Receivables for +.€23.1 million and Corporate income tax receivables of - €3.7 million.

Equity was at €199.3 million and increased by €13.3 million. This increase was mainly due to net consolidated profits for the year of €14.6 million, reduced by the impact of dividend payments to third parties worth -€1.5 million.

Provisions for liabilities and charges, at €11.4 million, were up €2.0 million mainly as the result of revaluations related to staff retirement indemnities (€1.5 million).

Debts, at €141.1 million were up €11.8 million. The variations concern financial debts (-€0.2 million), trade payables (- €2.6 million), various advances on orders (+€9.1 million), the decrease in deferred tax liabilities (-€3.2 million) and the increase in deferred income (+€8.7 million).

Consolidated financial structure

The Financial Structure integrates current financial assets, cash flow and cash equivalents, net of loans from credit institutions and other financial liabilities; it amounts to a positive €107.7 million.

It was up €17.2 million compared to 2015 due to the increase in net cash flow of €28.4 million and offset by the increase of financial liabilities for €11.2 million.

In total, current assets amounted to €268.9 million extensively covering all third party debts of less than a year, amounting to €119.1 million.

To summarise, the «Debt / Equity» ratio stood at 20.4% against 22.0% at the end of 2015.

Rents, at €1,489 K, were down 3.7% (-€58 K) on the previous year. This fall was due to the index review of Gévelot Extrusion leases and the effect of the release by PCM SA in October 2015 of offices on the 3rd floor of Levallois-Perret which were only re-let to third parties from 1 October 2016.

Invoided services, at €796 K, fell due to a result in invoiceable holding costs.

Group's research and development activities

Extrusion Sector

In 2016, out of a total of €1.8 million of expenses, a sum of €0.6 million was activated for research and development expenses.

Special efforts were taken with the development of new families of parts, especially a transmission shaft and various hubs.

These expenses generated a Research Tax Credit of €0.6 million.

Pumps Sector

In 2016, PCM Technologies SAS continued to develop products linked to the strategy of Business Units, integrating, as a priority, competitiveness projects, especially certain key serial products.

The main 3-year product development directions were maintained and accompanied by an upgrading of technical skills.

Partnership projects with customers started in a satisfactory way, especially in the petroleum activity.

In 2016, Research and Development expenses amounted to €1.2 million generating a research Tax Credit of €0.4 million.

Group outlook for 2017

The Group's outlook for 2017, in recovering sectoral environments, is expected to continue the improvement in consolidated income.

Parent-Company

Gévelot SA turnover will again consist of cross-group rental products and services.

In terms of financial products, after atypical years in 2015 and 2016, a dividend should be received from one of our subsidiaries for an amount of around €1.5 million.

Net income should remain positive, excluding exceptional operations.

Extrusion Sector

This sector should continue its effort to re -establish its profit margins and financial capabilities, by preparing, both in France and Germany, to supply new markets by 2018/2019, amidst a context of specific risks as described below.

Pumps Sector

This Sector, in a still fragile petroleum environment, should return to growth on the international market through the rationalisation of costs on the various markets on which it operates.

Overall Group outlook

The Group's consolidated net income, excluding exceptional items not identified to date, should remain positive.

Functioning of social organisations

The Board of Directors comprises seven members, including three women and four men.

Social and environmental consequences

Gévelot SA, in the appendix of its Management Report, published a consolidated document on Sustainable Development with information on Social and Environmental issues in accordance with the provisions of Articles R. 225-104 and R. 225-105 of the Commercial Code.

As none of the Group's companies exceed the thresholds of 500 employees and €100 M in turnover in 2016 (application thresholds defined by the so-called « Grenelle II » Act of 12 July 2010 and its implementing Decree of 24 April 2012), there is no obligation for the Gévelot Group to publish a CSR Report in financial year 2016 on the Social and Environmental Consequences of the activities of the Group and its social commitments in favour of sustainable development.

Risk Management

As part of the description of the main risks to which the Group is exposed, the following points can be retained.

General Risks

1. Market Risks

The Group is positioned in several distinct Markets, which limits its exposure to changes in one single sector.

The Extrusion Sector Market

The Extrusion Sector activity is rolled out in the automotive market where there are various « market » risks:

  • our principals' procurement strategy which may be affected by their overall strategy of alliances or cross-holdings and the specific difficulties of French Constructors leading them to reconsider their ownership structure, production capacity and reduce their costs,

  • a forecast increase of sales of new vehicles, the effect of the economic situation on a European market that is in structural overcapacity. It should be noted that our supplies are sometimes reexported by our customers to their assembly plants in emerging countries (particularly China),

  • a market that has been relocating for several years to so-called « Low Cost » countries with two consequences: a loss of volume when cars or subsets are actually manufactured abroad; strong pressure on sales prices (and hence margins). This pressure forces us to stay competitive and avoid these relocations and therefore market losses. This situation is found both in France (Gévelot Extrusion) and Germany (Dold).

The Pumps Sector Market

The specific activity of Oil Pumps is sensitive to changes in oil prices. The relative stability of oil prices over the past few months in a highly uncertain geopolitical context in some countries will risk slowing or deferring expected business developments.

Through the renegotiation of an O&G supply contract, following the unfavourable progress of the market, a payment of flat-rate indemnities was received in January 2017 in exchange of a strong reduction in initially scheduled volumes and prices.

Sales performance in the areas of other pumps (Food and Industrial Sector) are usually linked to economic activity in France and abroad.

2. Country Risks

The Group is exposed to Country risks for a proportion of its activity, mainly in the oil-related sector, due in particular to its presence in areas showing important geopolitical risks (Middle East, Africa, Latin America).

Financial Risks

Through its activities, the Group is exposed to various types of financial risk. These risks are related to the Group's industrial and commercial activities, its financing needs as well as its investment policy, in particular internationally. They are mainly related to the risk of exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations but also to sudden changes in commodity prices.

1. Financial risks associated with industrial and commercial activities

- Operational currency risks

The Gévelot Group is exposed in its industrial and commercial activities to financial risks from fluctuations in the exchange rates of some currencies due to the location of most of its production sites in the euro zone and of its sales areas worldwide and involving foreign currency invoicing, mainly in US Dollars.

The management of currency risk of the Pumps and Fluid Technology activity is based on a principle of the Group's production entities invoicing commercial entities in the local currency of the latter. This cross-company invoicing is subject to currency hedging of their settlement if the amounts are significant.

The same principle is applied to sales outside the Group, mainly in the Pumps sector for foreign currency invoicing of customers. Hedging instruments are set up as soon as a currency sales transactions arises.

The Group does not perform firm exchange hedging on future sales ; the operating margin is therefore subject in the future to variations depending on the evolution of exchange rates.

- Currency risks, Cash or Cash Equivalents

The evolution of North American currency rates was subject to special monitoring and investments (excluding risks) with frontline banks. In mid-February 2017, more than three-quarters of foreign currencies were arbitrated in Euros near to the close parity in USD and CAD.

- Price variation risks

The Group is sensitive to changes in the price of its raw materials, especially steel in the Extrusion sector. In order to cope with future changes that could impact the operating margin significantly, the Group is developing the multiplicity of sources and especially, when possible, in contracts containing price variation clauses with suppliers or customers.

- Credit risks

The Group pays special attention to the security of payments for goods and services delivered to its customers.

For the Extrusion sector, activity is concentrated on a limited number of customers which traditionally have excellent financial guarantees.

The Extrusion Division has refocused on European domestic markets (France and Germany) which have low exposure to the risk of default payments. Where possible, this Sector resorts to Credit Insurance.

The activity of the Pumps sector incurs relatively higher risk. European Customers of PCM Europe SAS show no significant individual risks and are generally subject to collection systems by specialized companies.

The major export customers positioned in areas of major geopolitical risks are subject to specific monitoring.

2. Cash flow risks linked to financing activities

The Group calls on the banking sector to finance operations when required by its industrial and commercial activities.

The Gévelot Extrusion Company has controlled its debt for several years. For future industrial investments, financing through Leasing will be preferred.

- Rate variation risks

When necessary (a significantly high loan) the Group sets up interest rate hedging tools for borrowing large amounts at long-term variable rates. For this, the Group's Cash Department analyses the portfolio and suggests the appropriate tools to Subsidiaries (interest rate swaps) to limit future risks within the limits of appropriate and controlled costs.

3. Financial risks related to investment transactions made abroad

- Country risks

The Group holds assets in countries where the political and economic stability is not assured; these assets, however, represent an insignificant percentage of the Group's assets.

- Currency risks

The Group holds investments abroad and outside the euro area, whose net assets are exposed to the risk of currency rate adjustment. These net assets located in the USA, China and the Middle East, today are not specifically hedged.

Trade Payables

The Trade payables and related accounts (operating and fixed assets) of Gévelot SA amounting to €105 K at the end of 2016 (€142 K in late 2015) can be broken down as follows:

Modification plans for the Share Capital and Voting Rights

Share buyback project in view of cancellation

To renew the share buyback programme in view to their cancellation, two Resolutions, one ordinary and one extraordinary, will be proposed at the next Combined General Meeting:

Renewal of the share buyback programme in view of cancellation An ordinary Resolution shall be proposed to authorise the Board of Directors, for a new maximum period of 18 months, to have the Company buy a number of shares representing a maximum 10% of its Capital decided on the date of this Meeting, which corresponds to 82,050 shares, for a maximum €13.0 M.

Capital reduction through the cancellation of shares to be purchased An extraordinary Resolution will be proposed to authorise the Board of Directors to cancel the Shares bought by the Company to renew the Share Buyback Programme, within the limit of 10% of the Capital per period of 24 months, in one or several purchases.

This autorisation is conditioned by the approval of the new Share buyback programme.

The Board of Directors shall inform Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of all operations conducted in the event of the approval of these Resolutions.

Abolition of the double voting right

Finally, an extraordinary Resolution shall be proposed as part of a modification of the Articles of Association relating to the cancellation of the double voting right of nominative shares held more than four years.

MiddleNext

In terms of governance, Gévelot SA follows the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code "Middlenext" since April 2014 (Code revised in September 2016).

Non-deductible expenses

(Act of 12 July 1965 Article 27)

For Gévelot S.A., reinstatements of overheads in taxable income in FY 2016 amounted to €44,133 against €15,998 in 2015.

Events after the Reporting Period

Holding

The rental offer will continue on our tertiary property in Levallois-Perret for the office space soon to be released.

The Board of Directors, on 13 April 2017, decided to reduce the share capital through the cancellation of treasury shares (8.1%). Thereby, the resulting share capital of Gevelot stands at €28,717,500, comprising 820,500 shares, each with a par value of €35.

Extrusion Sector

For France, the first results in 2017 confirm a return to operating break-even.

In Germany, most renewal contracts aimed at the main customer were obtained and thanks to the contribution of new contracts with other customers, the activity should regain its previous level as from 2019.

Pumps Sector

International sectoral challenges in the field of Oil & Gas continue to affect the activity and profitability of this Sector. The continuation of adaptation measures and expected business developments in other markets should help to mitigate the effect.

International development will nevertheless continue on the basis of strategic opportunities.

This Report will be filed with the clerk's office at the Commercial Court in accordance with the Law.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2016

Note 1 : Accounting rules and methods – selected financial data

As of 13 April 2017, the Board of Directors closed the accounts of Gévelot SA and approved the disclosure of its consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2016.

Notes 1 to 26 form an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts are stated in thousands of euros.

A. ACCOUNTING RULES AND METHODS

The Gévelot Group's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with international principles and standards governing the measurement and presentation of financial information, namely IFRS1 (International Financial Reporting Standards), as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of euros, the euro being the Group's operating and reporting currency.

The accounting methods set out below were consistently applied to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

New mandatory application texts

The standards and interpretations published by IASB and adopted by the European Union and becoming effective on 1 January 2016 have no significant impact on the Gévelot Group.

New texts applied in advance

The Group applied no amendment and no standard or interpretation in advance.

New texts not yet adopted by the European Union

The potential impact of main texts published by the IASB or IFRIC but having not yet been the subject of an adoption by the European Union to the closing date, is being analyzed. However, the Group does not expect that other potentially applicable texts to accounting years beginning on 1 January 2017 have a significant impact on the Group's accounts.

No application in advance is envisaged at this stage.

Presentation of the consolidated financial statements

The balance sheet is presented in current then non-current format. Are considered as current all assets and liabilities directly relating to the operating cycle, the duration of which cannot exceed twelve months. Financial assets and liabilities are by definition classified as non-current items except for their short-term portions, which are classified as current.

The consolidated statement of income is presented as expenses and income.

1.1. Accounting principles specific to consolidation

1.1.1 Scope of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements fully consolidate the accounts of Gévelot SA and the subsidiaries over which it has sole indirect or direct control. The date on which it took or relinquished control determines that on which the company is included or excluded from the scope of full consolidation.

Companies not exclusively controlled by Gévelot SA are recognised by the equity method if it has significant influence in them.

1.1.2 Conversion of accounts stated in foreign currencies

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are converted into euros in the following manner:

  • balance sheet items are converted at the exchange rate applying on the date of closing,

  • income statement items are converted at the average rate,

  • cash flows are converted at the average rate.

The translation adjustments included in consolidated equity thus result from:

  • the difference in opening equity between the prior period's closing rates and those of the current period,

  • the difference between the average exchange rate and the closing rate, for the period's income or loss and for other changes in equity.

1.1.3 Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into euros using the rate of exchange applying on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the rate applying at closing, and the resulting differences are recognised in the income statement as exchange gains or losses. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised at the historical rate applying on the date of the transaction.

NB : the applicable rates are stated in Note 2.

1.2 Accounting principles specific to the balance sheet

1.2.1 Business combinations

Business combinations are recognised using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3.

On the date of acquisition, goodwill is measured as being the aggregate of the cost of the business combination and the acquirer's proportionate interest in the net worth of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and any acquired liabilities.

Goodwill is not amortised. It is subjected to an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their value has decreased.

Any recognised depreciation is irreversible.

The impairment tests used by the Group are described under heading «Impairment of fixed assets» in Note 1.2.4.

1.2.2 Intangible capital assets

Intangible capital assets acquired separately are recognised in the balance sheet at their historical cost and amortised over their useful life using the straight-line method.

Intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations are recognised in the balance sheet at their fair value on the date of acquisition.

1 IFRS as adopted by the European Union is available on the website of the European Commission

(http://ec.europa.eu//internal_market/accounting/ias/index_fr.htm)

Research expenses are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, as are non-capitalised development costs that do not meet IAS 38 capitalisation criteria.

In the Extrusion sector, studies are initiated with a view to producing parts for a special customer order. When they are contractually the subject of customer financing, the nonfinanced amount of these costs is recognised as an intangible capital asset.

So, development costs must be capitalised (IAS 38) if the company can demonstrate that:

  • the project is clearly identified and the costs of the asset thus capitalised are clearly separable and can be reliably measured, and that intends and has the technical and financial capacity to see the project through to completion,
  • it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to asset will flow to the enterprise.

Intangible capital assets are amortised using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life for each category of assets.

Useful life

Development costs: the life of the underlying projects, generally between 3 and 15 years.

Software: estimated useful life of between 2 and 15 years.

Other (patents, etc.): the estimated useful life, limited to 20 years.

The impairment testing methods adopted by the Group are described under heading « Impairment of fixed assets » in Note 1.2.4.

1.2.3 Tangible capital assets

Tangible capital assets, primarily comprising property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, in accordance with IAS 16.

The Gévelot Group has opted for the periodic revaluation method for its Administrative or Commercial properties by reference to observable prices in an active market, buildings being amortised over their useful life and their net value being periodically revalued on arm's length terms by qualified experts. They are revalued every three years unless changes in their fair value require them to be revalued more often.

For its other tangible capital assets, in particular its industrial properties, the Group has decided to no longer use the periodic revaluation method, given the difficulty of estimating them without factoring in the activity. Their gross value is their acquisition cost (or the latest revaluation as of 31 December 2007) less accumulated depreciation, and is no longer revalued as of 1st January 2008.

In the Extrusion sector, special tools are purchased or made with a view to producing parts for special customer orders. When they are contractually the subject of customer financing, the non-financed amount of these costs is recognised as a tangible capital asset.

Cost price of fixed assets

The gross tax amount of acquisition costs directly attributable to fixed assets is incorporated into their acquisition cost.

According to the standard treatment described in IAS23 prior to effective application of its revision, borrowing costs are charged to expenses in the period they are incurred.

Finance leasing

Group property acquired through finance leasing is treated in the consolidated balance sheet and income statement as if it was acquired by borrowing if the contract transfers virtually all of the risks and benefits inherent in ownership thereof to the Group. As a result, tangible capital asset items are measured at the amount originally financed by the lessor and recorded as "loans" in liabilities.

Leasing repayments are eliminated and replaced with :

  • an amortisation expense corresponding to the assets concerned,
  • a financial expense on the loan.

Properties under direct financing leases are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life in the same way as other similar assets, or over the duration of the contract of the latter if shorter and if the Company is not certain to become owner thereof on maturity.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method for asset components having distinct useful lives which are generally as follows:

  • Land: not amortised,
  • Buildings (structural work, conversion work, facade rendering and cleaning, weatherproofing): 10 to 40 years,
  • Plant and equipment: 3 to 40 years, barring exceptions,
  • Computer hardware: 3 to 5 years.

The residual values and useful lives of assets recognised at their historical costs are reviewed on each closing. Losses or gains on asset disposals are measured by comparing the revenue from the disposal with the carrying amount of the sold asset. They are recognised in the income statement under "Other operating income and expenses".

1.2.4 Impairment of fixed assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life and goodwill are not amortised and are subject to a depreciation test at least once every year and whenever there is an indication of a loss of value. Other redeemable assets are tested for depreciation when due to particular events or circumstances, the recoverable value might be less than the book value.

A non-exhaustive list of external or internal indicators used in this estimate is provided below:

  • External indices:

  • greater than usual decline in market value,

  • major changes in the technical, economic and legal environment having a negative impact on the company,
  • an increase in interest rates,
  • Internal indices:
  • obsolescence or physical degradation not provided for under depreciation,
  • below-forecast economic performances,
  • material changes in the manner in which this asset is used.

The depreciation included in the accounts corresponds to the surplus between the book value and the recoverable value. The depreciation test is performed where required at the level of individual assets or at the level of CGUs (Cash-Generating Units) when assets cannot be valued individually. For the purposes of depreciation tests, goodwill that cannot be tested individually are grouped together within the group of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of business combinations.

The recoverable value of an asset (a CGU or a group of CGUs) is the higher of its costs to sell (or net selling price) and its value in use.

The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in a bargained transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less derecognition costs.

Value in use is the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset on the basis of plans or budgets established over a maximum period of 3 years. Beyond which flows are extrapolated indefinitely by applying a constant or diminishing growth rate.

The Group has defined its cash generating units as follows:

  • Extrusion: each Company and production unit is deemed an independent CGU. Support assets common to a Company have been distributed proportionally to the company's production units.
  • Pumps: each Company is deemed an independent CGU,
  • A specific discount rate has been determined for each business segment (see Note 4).

These discount rates equal the rate of return on risk-free investments adjusted by a «share» market risk premium and risks specific to the business segment.

1.2.5 Financial assets

Financial assets consist mainly of loans and receivables, as well as investments maturing in more than three months and that are not recognised as cash.

They mainly comprise security deposits and loans granted under Construction Aids.

They are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Long-term loans and receivables not bearing interest or bearing interest at rates below market value are discounted if the amounts are significant.

Any depreciation is recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets are initially recognised at the cost of their fair value of the price paid plus acquisition costs.

Trade and other accounts receivable

Receivables are initially recognised at their fair value (generally equal to the amount invoiced) then measured at their write-down cost using the effective interest rate method, after deduction of impairment provisions.

Trade accounts receivable remain as assets in the balance sheet until all the related risks and rewards revert to a third party.

Impairment provisions are funded if specific risks of non-payment arise on receivables held by Group companies.

Furthermore, all or part of outstanding aged receivables may be impaired.

Impairment or reversals thereof are recognised as current operating income and expense items.

1.2.6 Inventories and work in progress

Under IAS 2 «inventories», the cost of inventories must include all purchase costs, conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition; commercial rebates, discounts and other similar items are deducted to measure the cost of acquisition.

Inventories are measured using the average weighted price or cost method.

Inventories are required to be stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).

The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories do not include the borrowing cost.

Raw materials, goods and other supplies are measured using one of the following methods, depending on the site: last known purchase price, weighted average unit price.

Manufactured products (in-process and finished products) are valued at their production cost including:

  • the cost of consumables,
  • direct production costs,
  • indirect production costs if they can reasonably be linked to the production of the goods.

If the net realisable value falls below the carrying amount, a provision for the difference is funded.

In the Extrusion sector, studies are conducted and special tools are made or purchased with a view to producing parts for special customer orders. If they are contractually financed by the customer, the financed amount of the costs incurred for studies and tools is recorded as in-progress inventory.

1.2.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments (under three months) without realisable impairment risk.

The investment options used are those offered by the leading financial institutions and comprise either certificates of deposit or investment fund monetary securities without any special identified risks.

1.2.8 Equity

The Group strives to maintain an adequate level of return on its capital while continuing to make safe management decisions. The consolidating company has not resorted to delegation with regard to equity instruments. The Group is not subject to any particular external restrictions with regard to the capital of its entities.

All treasury shares held by the Group are recognised at acquisition cost and subtracted from equity. Income from any sale of treasury shares is subtracted immediately from the increase in equity, so that any capital gains or losses will not affect net income on the year.

1.2.9 Provisions

Defined and similar benefit plans

There are various retirement benefit plans for certain employees in the Group based on national legislations and practices.

Retirement benefit plans, the related severance benefits and other fringe benefits are analysed as defined benefit plans (plans whereby the Group undertakes to guarantee a particular amount or level of defined benefit). They are recognised in the balance sheet on the basis of actuarial estimates of the benefits on the date of closing using the Projected Unit Credit Method, less the fair value of the Plan's related assets. Contributions paid into the Plans, which are analysed as Defined Benefit Plans, that is, when the Group's only obligation is to pay the contributions, are charged to the period's expenses.

In France, the Group has taken out benefit plans for its employees. The provision stated in the consolidated financial statements is measured in accordance with IAS 19 and includes the related welfare expenses.

In pursuance of local rules, german subsidiary Dold meets its social commitments for its employees through contracts entered into with insurance firms.

The Group books a provision equal to liabilities, net of the fair value of financial assets of the regime.

The actuarial gains or losses are the effects of differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred or changes in the assumptions used to calculate the benefits and the assets covering them:

  • staff turnover,
  • pay rises,
  • discount rate,
  • mortality rate,
  • rate of return on assets.

Other social benefits

A provision is funded for bonuses awarded on the occasion of national work medal awards or under company agreements. It is measured according to the probability of employees reaching the qualifying seniority for each grade and is discounted to present value.

Other provisions

A provision is recognised when the Group has a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the expected cost can be made, and extinguishment of which should consist in an outlay of resources representing economic benefits for the Group without at least an equivalent amount in return. Provisions correspond to risks and specifically identified expenses.

Other long-term provisions are discounted to present value if their effect is significant.

Any liabilities correspond to potential obligations resulting from past events the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of future uncertain events beyond the entity's control or current obligations for which an outlay of resources is unlikely. These liabilities are not recognised in the balance sheet, except for those corresponding to business combinations. They are disclosed in information on off-balance sheet liabilities.

1.2.10 Financial liabilities

Loans are recognised at amortised cost, except within the framework of hedge accounting (hereafter Derivate Instruments and Hedge Accounting).

Share premiums and costs and call premiums are stated as deductions to loans and are taken into account in determining the effective interest rate.

Derivate instruments and hedge accounting

All derivates (swaps) are recognised in the balance sheet at their fair value and any change in fair value is recognised as income or losses.

The Group avails itself of the option permitted under IAS 39 to use hedge accounting:

  • to hedge fair value (fixed-rate loan swapped at a variable rate for instance), the debt is recognised at its fair value up to the level of the hedged risk and any change in fair value is recognised in the income statement. Any change in the fair value of the derivative is also recognised in the income statement. If the hedge is totally effective, the two effects neutralize one another perfectly.
  • to hedge cash flows (variable-rate loan swapped at fixed rate for instance), the change in the effective portion of the fair value of the derivate is recognised as equity and is symmetrically reversed in the income statement when the hedged cash flows are recognised, and the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

The fair value of financial instruments is measured according to quoted market prices in an active market if one exists or a market price. Failing which, it is calculated by an independent expert. The fair value of derivates is obtained from the bank counterparties.

The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities is comparable to their fair value in the balance sheet given their short-term maturity.

1.2.11 Deferred tax

In accordance with IAS 12 «Income taxes », deferred taxes are recognised for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and their taxable values by applying the current rates of tax and tax rules in force on that date or those that will apply when the temporary difference is absorbed.

Future tax relief resulting from the carryover of tax deficits is only recognised when realisation thereof is probable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities, whatever their maturity, were offset if they concern the same taxable entity and if the latter intends either to settle the net amount or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.

1.3 Accounting principles specific to the income statement

1.3.1 Income from Ordinary Activities

In accordance with IAS 18 « Income from Ordinary Activities », sales of goods less any discounts granted are recognised as turnover on the date the seller has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Generally this takes place on delivery of the goods.

In the Extrusion sector, studies are conducted and special tools are made or purchased with a view to producing parts for special customer orders. If they are contractually financed by the customer, this financing falls within the scope of "Income from Ordinary Activities" as defined by IAS 18. The income is recognised under sales revenue at the end of each technical stage approved by the customer.

1.3.2. Current Operating Result and Operating Result

Standard IAS 1 requires a minimum number of items to be included in the income statement:

  • Operating Result,
  • Finance costs,
  • Share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method,
  • Profit or loss of discontinued operations, gain or loss recognised on the disposals of the assets,
  • Tax expense,
  • Profit or loss (broken down into Group share and minority interests share).

Therefore « Operating Result » can be defined as the difference between all income and expenses not resulting from financial activities, equity-method companies, discontinued activities or disposals and tax.

Operating income includes the Contribution Economique Territoriale (CET). CET has two components: the Contribution Foncière des Entreprises (CFE) and the Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée des Entreprises (CVAE). CFE is based on the rental value of goods subject to property tax. CVAE is equal to 1.5% of added value. CET is capped at 3% of added value. If the added value of the Group's French activities is far higher than the taxable income on these same activities, the Group considers CET as an operating expense rather than an income tax, hence its recognition under operating income.

Competitiveness and Employment Tax Credits and Research Tax Credits

The amounts acquired through the Competitiveness and Employment Tax Credits of the French companies of the Group reduce the amount of personnel expenditure.

Research Tax Credits of the French companies of the Group are recorded as operating income in the item « Operating subsidies ».

The Gévelot Group has opted to present a Current Operating Result, which is defined as the difference between Operating Result as defined above and "Other operating income and expenses" » which include unusual and infrequent events. The latter are very limited in scope but cannot be presented as exceptional or extraordinary items. They primarily include the profit or loss from asset disposals, losses in value on non-current assets, restructuring costs and the cost of litigation settlements.

The Current Operating Result is a notional balance provided for a better understanding of the company's performance.

1.3.3 Financial costs

1.3.3.1 Cost of net financial debt

The net cost of financial debt comprises all the results produced by items making up net financial debt during the period (bank borrowings and investments, gains or losses from transactions in short-term investments).

1.3.3.2 Other financial income and expenses

These mainly include the results of currency hedging transactions.

1.4 Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, the segment reporting is presented by business segments defined by internal organizational systems and the Group's management structure.

The Gévelot Group's business segments are defined as follows:

  • Cold Extrusion & Machining,
  • Pumps / Fluid Technologies.

Gévelot S.A. items that cannot be assigned directly to an operating sector such as defined above are included under "other activities".

B. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The renegotiation of a supply contract in the Oil & Gas field generated €9.5 M recorded as an operational result and €9.5 M entered as deferred revenue which shall be carried over to the result over the remaining term of the contract. The rider to this contract includes an embedded derivative which, in application of the IAS 39 standard, should be entered separately and assessed at its fair value on 31 December 2016.

Considering the conditions of this rider and the sales forecast, this derivative has been valued at zero at this close. The fair value of the derivative shall be re-examined at each close taking into account the evolution of the price of the barrel of oil and updated sales forecasts.

In application of cautious criteria, the Group was led to observe a depreciation of €8.1 M on the industrial assets of the Extrusion Sector (see Note 4.3).

C. SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of consolidated accounts in compliance with IFRS standards requires taking into account assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet, the contingent liabilities mentioned in the appendix, and the expenses and income shown in the income statement. These estimates and assumptions are made by the Management based on its past experience and various other factors deemed to be reasonable. However the current economic and financial environment makes it difficult to get an understanding of business prospects. It is possible that actual amounts will subsequently differ from estimates and assumptions made initially. These assumptions and estimates concern mainly:

a) Values used for impairment tests

Assumptions and estimates that are made to determine the recoverable value of goodwill, intangible and tangible fixed assets, relate in particular to market prospects required for the evaluation of cash flows and the applied discount rates. Any change in these assumptions could have a significant effect on the recoverable amount of those assets. The main assumptions used by the Group are described in Note 4.3.

b) Valuation of pension liabilities

The Group participates in defined-contribution or defined benefit pension plans. The liabilities related to the latter are calculated on the basis of actuarial calculations based on assumptions such as the discount rate, future salary increases, the staff turnover rate, the rate of mortality and the rate of return on assets. The valuation procedure is described in Note 1.2.9 and the assumptions used in Note 12. The Group considers that the actuarial assumptions used are appropriate and justified in current conditions. However these liabilities might evolve in the event of change in assumptions.

c) Fair value measurement

Land and buildings for administrative or commercial use are revalued periodically by independent experts. Between each expertise, the Group checks the absence of indications of loss of value.

Furthermore, as stated in Note 20, financial instruments measured at fair value are measured by reference to quoted prices in an active market.

D. Changes to financial statements previously published

NONE

4.3. Valuation method

Depreciation

In accordance with the principle stated in Note 1.2.4, on 31 December 2016, the Group carried out a comparison of the net carrying amount of the assets and their value in use for CGUs showing one or more indications of impairment (Gévelot Extrusion, Dold), and for the CGU incorporating goodwill (PCM Group UK).

Value in use is defined as the sum of future discounted cash flows estimated on the basis of three-year activity and investment plans. The growth rates used to extrapolate forecasted cash flows beyond three years are 1% for the Extrusion sector and 1% for the Pumps sector (1% for all sectors for the tests carried out at the end of 2015).

The discount rates applied are 10% for Gevelot Extrusion, 9% for Dold in Germany and 11% for the Pumps sector (respectively 10%, 9% and 11% for the tests carried out at the end of 2015) and correspond to the average cost of the capital after tax, taking each segment's specific market rates and risk premiums into account.

These approaches are based on the Group best estimates in an uncertain economic environment.

The new tests on 31 December led to an additional depreciation of €8.1 M on the industrial assets of Gévelot Extrusion (€5.3 M) and of Dold (€2.8 M) at the end of 2016. These additional provisions are justified by a more cautious approach of the assessment parameters linked to specific risks of the Automotive Market in Europe.

The sensitivity of the value in use calculations to changes in the various assumptions is set out in the table below:

Cash-generating units of the Pumps Sector, other than the cash-generating units of PCM Group UK, in the absence of a value loss index on the Pumps Secttor, did not result in the performance of value tests.

Credit risk conditions are discussed in the Operating and Financial Review.

The increase in the customer item was mainly due to the debt on the contractual renegotiation in the Pumps sector.

As the Group's markets are dominated by just a few players (mainly in the automotive sector), it generates a significant share of its consolidated revenue with major clients that individually account for more than 10% of consolidated revenues. These major clients accounted for 54.2% of Extrusion division revenue in 2016.

All dubious or litigious debts have been depreciated.

(1) No reclassification between categories of financial instruments has been performed during the accounting year.

The fair value of "cash and cash equivalents" is the same as their book value owing to their very short-term maturity. "Current financial assets" recognised at fair value through profit and loss corrrespond to term deposits reclassified owing to their not being included in cash.

Financial assets and liabilities classified as "loans, receivables and other liabilities":

  • "long-term financial assets" and "current financial assets" are valued at amortized costs;

  • the fair value of "trade accounts receivable" and "other receivables", as well as "trade accounts payable", "payables to fixed assets suppliers" and "other payables" is the same as their balance sheet value, including possible depreciations, owing to their very short settlement times.

"Long-term financial liabilities" and "current financial liabilities" are valued at amortized cost, calculated using the effective interest rate (EIR).

Derivative instruments mean financial tools used by the company for hedging currency risks. Foreign exchange contracts consist of forward purchases and sales of foreign currencies.

MANAGING FINANCIAL RISKS

Apart from its variable-rate loans, the Group has no significant market risks on its financial debt and receivables or its short-term investments. The Group's short-term investments portfolio primarily includes monetary investments. The Group has some partially share-backed short-term investments but the overall risk of loss in value is negligible given the very short time they are held and the garantees provided. The return on them is comparable to market rates.

The Group is exposed to some foreign exchange risk on its exports. When they are significant, they are generally covered by foreign exchange hedges transactions (purchases/sales in currency futures).

In the liquidity risk management framework and to finance development projects, the Group is pursuing a proactive refinancing and prudent cash management policy. On 31 December 2016, the net financial position was positive and amounts to €107 697 K.

Additional information on how the Group manages risk is provided in the operating and financial review.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Financial instruments estimated at fair value are level 1 (market exchange prices).

"For operations" primarily includes the renting of storage space and handling equipment.

"Non-operating" primarily includes computing hardware, office equipment and company vehicules.

Most of the finance leases are on production equipment (presses, plant).

An expense of approximately €1.2 million was recognised in 2016 for straightforward rental agreements.

Rapport des Commissaires aux Comptes sur les Comptes Consolidés

Exercice clos le 31 décembre 2016

Aux Actionnaires Gévelot S.A. 6, boulevard Bineau 92300 Levallois-Perret

En exécution de la mission qui nous a été confiée par votre assemblée générale, nous vous présentons notre rapport relatif à l'exercice clos le 31 décembre 2016, sur :

  • le contrôle des comptes consolidés de la société GEVELOT SA, tels qu'ils sont joints au présent rapport ;
  • la justification de nos appréciations ;
  • la vérification spécifique prévue par la loi.

Les comptes consolidés ont été arrêtés par le conseil d'administration. Il nous appartient, sur la base de notre audit, d'exprimer une opinion sur ces comptes.

I - Opinion sur les comptes consolidés

Nous avons effectué notre audit selon les normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France ; ces normes requièrent la mise en œuvre de diligences permettant d'obtenir l'assurance raisonnable que les comptes consolidés ne comportent pas d'anomalies significatives. Un audit consiste à vérifier, par sondages ou au moyen d'autres méthodes de sélection, les éléments justifiant des montants et informations figurant dans les comptes consolidés. Il consiste également à apprécier les principes comptables suivis, les estimations significatives retenues et la présentation d'ensemble des comptes. Nous estimons que les éléments que nous avons collectés sont suffisants et appropriés pour fonder notre opinion.

Nous certifions que les comptes consolidés de l'exercice sont, au regard du référentiel IFRS tel qu'adopté dans l'Union européenne, réguliers et sincères et donnent une image fidèle du patrimoine, de la situation financière, ainsi que du résultat de l'ensemble constitué par les personnes et entités comprises dans la consolidation.

II - Justification des appréciations

En application des dispositions de l'article L. 823-9 du code de commerce relatives à la justification de nos appréciations, nous portons à votre connaissance les éléments suivants :

Comme la note 1.2.4 de l'annexe le précise, le groupe procède à des tests de valeur au moins une fois par an pour les actifs non financiers ayant une durée de vie indéterminée et les goodwill et, lorsqu'apparaissent des indices de perte de valeur, pour les autres actifs amortissables. La valeur recouvrable de ces actifs, regroupés par unité génératrice de trésorerie, est comparée à leur valeur nette comptable. En 2016, les tests ainsi réalisés ont conduit à constater une dépréciation à hauteur de 8,1 M€ affectée aux actifs industriels de Gévelot Extrusion et de Dold (note 4.3 de l'annexe). Dans le cadre de notre appréciation des estimations significatives retenues pour l'arrêté des comptes, nous avons vérifié la conformité de l'approche adoptée avec le référentiel IFRS ainsi que la correcte application des modalités de mise en œuvre des tests de perte de valeur décrites dans l'annexe. Nous avons également examiné la documentation disponible comprenant notamment les prévisions de flux de trésorerie et les autres hypothèses retenues.

La Note 1.B. Faits significatifs de l'annexe précise les traitements comptables retenus consécutivement à la renégociation d'un contrat de fournitures. Dans le cadre de notre appréciation des principes comptables suivis par votre société, nous nous sommes assurés du caractère approprié des traitements comptables ainsi exposés et de la pertinence des informations fournies à ce titre dans les notes aux états financiers.

Les appréciations ainsi portées s'inscrivent dans le cadre de notre démarche d'audit des comptes consolidés, pris dans leur ensemble, et ont donc contribué à la formation de notre opinion exprimée dans la première partie de ce rapport.

III - Vérification spécifique

Nous avons également procédé, conformément aux normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France, à la vérification spécifique prévue par la loi des informations relatives au groupe, données dans le rapport de gestion.

Nous n'avons pas d'observation à formuler sur leur sincérité et leur concordance avec les comptes consolidés.

Notes to the Individual Financial Statements at 31 December 2016

These notes supplement and comment on the balance sheet prior to appropriation for period ending 31 December 2016, totaling 128,040,038.65 euros and the period's income statement, presented in list form, which totals 9,777,054.31 euros and shows a profit of 9,070,458.66 euros.

Notes 1 to 19 hereafter form an integral part of the annual financial statements (unless otherwise specified, all amounts are stated in thousands of euros).

The financial year is 12 months long and runs from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.

These annual financial statements were drawn up by the Board of Directors on 13 April 2017.

Note 1 : Accounting principles and rules for establishing the annual financial statements

The financial statements were drawn up in accordance with the general principles of establishment and presentation of accounts defined by the French code of commerce and the ANC regulation no. 2016-07 of 4 November 2016 approved by Decree on 26 December 2016.

a) Main methods used

Intangible capital assets

Intangible capital assets comprise software which is amortised using the straight-line method over 3 to 15 years.

Tangible capital assets

Tangible capital assets are measured at their acquisition cost (purchase price plus costs excluding borrowing costs), except for assets acquired prior to 31 December 1976, which have been revalued in accordance with the law.

Since 1 January 2005, the company applied the regulations on assets with regard to the amortisation, depreciation (CRC regulation 2002-10) definition, measurement and recognition thereof (CRC regulation 2004-06).

Gévelot S.A., by way of exception to the general retrospective principle, has thus adopted the approach known as « reallocation of net carrying amounts », in accordance with the first-time adoption provisions of the new rules.

Impairment amortisation is calculated by the straight-line method according to the expected estimated useful life: it is based on the acquisition amount less the estimated residual value at the end of estimated useful life.

Estimated useful lives:

  • office space: straight-line, 40 years,
  • industrial buildings: straight-line, 50 years,
  • other tangible capital assets: straight-line, 5 to 20 years.

Any components of the above and the methods applied are specified below:

- Buildings

  • o Structural work: straight-line, 40 and 50 years,
  • o Fit-outs and conversions: straight-line, 20 to 30 years,
  • o Facade rendering: straight-line, 10 years,
  • o Weatherproofing: straight-line, 20 years.

Impairment of assets

If there is any indication that an asset or group of assets has lost value, an impairment test is performed. An asset or group of assets is impaired if its net carrying amount exceeds its current value.

The current value of asset or group of assets is the higher of the value of its net selling price and that of the future economic benefits expected to be derived from use thereof.

Equity Investments

Equity Investments are recognised at acquisition cost or their contribution value, barring statutory revaluation.

The carrying amount is compared with the share of equity held in the company concerned.

If this share is lower than the carrying amount, an additional analysis is carried out to estimate the value in use of the equity interest according to its rate of return and future prospects. If the value in use thus measured is lower than the carrying amount of the equity interest in question, the difference between these two values is written down.

Other long-term investments

The treasury shares held by Gévelot S.A. as of December 31, 2016, amounted to 72 707 shares representing 8.14% of its share capital. They have been acquired under the authorization granted by the Combined General Meeting of October 15, 2015. They will be cancelled in accordance with the decision of this Combined General Meeting.

Since treasury shares are to be cancelled, no depreciation should be recorded.

Information on treasury shares at the close of the last two financial years:

2016 2015
Number of shares 72 707 72 697
(percentage of share capital) (8.14%) (8.14%)
Weighted average cost basis € 141.79 € 141.80
Average share price (December) € 139.98 € 134,29
Gross book value € 10.3 M € 10,3 M
Net book value € 10.3 M € 10,3 M

Other asset components

On closing, the net carrying amount of asset components other than intangible and tangible capital assets is compared with their current value on the same date.

If this value is lower than the carrying amount, the difference is written down.

Short-term investments

These are measured at acquisition cost. If their liquidation or probable selling value on closing is lower, the difference is written down.

The market value of short-term investments at 31 December 2016, comprising bank term deposits and negotiable medium-term notes, totals € 48 million.

Investment grants

Investment grants are recorded at the date of the grant on the liability side of the balance sheet, in the item « Investment grants » which is part of equity. They are recorded as extraordinary result at the same rate as the allowances to amortisations on fixed assets, which they have contributed to finance.

Partial grants are reversed by an amount equal to the taxable amortisation expense allocated to the asset grant portion of the grant.

Regulated provisions

The regulated provisions stated in the balance sheet are capital cost allowances on intangible and tangible capital assets. They are offset in the income statement as unusual expenses and gains. Derogatory amortisations are mainly the result of a duration differential.

Provisions

Provisions cover specifically identified contingencies and losses identified in accordance with the general chart of accounts.

b) Tax integration

Since 1 January 1995, Gévelot S.A. has opted for a group taxation system whereby it is liable for tax on the group's income. Under tax integration agreements entered into with consolidated companies, each Company recognises the income tax expense as if there were no tax integration in place.

The Group comprises the Parent Company, Gévelot S.A., « head of group » and French subsidiaries: Gévelot Extrusion SA, PCM SA, PCM Europe SAS, PCM Manufacturing France SAS and PCM Technologies SAS.

Its income net of tax of € 2 283 K includes : - Gévelot S.A.'s income tax - € 563 K

  • tax income relating to entitties included in the Group's tax integration system + € 2 846 K

Furthermore, an intra-group additional provision of €408K was recognised at 31 December 2016 for the probable return of the tax saving to the subsidiaries as part of this system.

c) Pensions

When employees retire, they are paid conventional or contractual retirement benefits. Most of the corresponding obligations are covered by insurance. The residual portion that is not covered is not recognised and is therefore stated as an off-balance sheet commitment.

d) Further information and events after the closing date

At the end of March 2017, 72 707 shares were held in treasury acquired at an overall average price of 141.79 euros.

The Board of Directors, on 13 April 2017, decided to reduce the share capital through the cancellation of treasury shares (8.1%). The resulting share capital of Gévelot stands at 28 717 500 €, comprising 820 500 shares, each with a par value of €35.

On December 31, 2016 land and buildings corresponded to buildings intended for the use of offices for € 3 097 K or industrial centres for € 4 484 K, occupied by Gévelot S.A. or provided to its subsidiaries or third parties.

In accordance with the principle stated in Note 1, Gévelot S.A. compared the book value of the Equity Securities to the proportionate share of the equity of the concerned companies or to the value in use as the case may be. This analysis did not lead to any change in depreciation previously made.

The Gévelot Extrusion Extraordinary General Meeting of 3rd May 2016 decided on a capital increase of €4,530 K. Gévelot SA fully paid the entirety of this capital increase in cash from the current account.

Gévelot S.A. bought back 10 of its own shares for a total amount of € 1 K during the fiscal year 2016.

On 31 December 2016, Gévelot SA held 72 707 of its own shares for an acquisition cost of €10 309 K. These shares will be cancelled and have not been impaired although the average market price in December 2016 was 1% lower than the average acquisition cost.

Rapport des Commissaires aux Comptes sur les Comptes Annuels

Exercice clos le 31 décembre 2016

Aux Actionnaires Gévelot S.A. 6, boulevard Bineau 92300 Levallois-Perret

En exécution de la mission qui nous a été confiée par votre assemblée générale, nous vous présentons notre rapport relatif à l'exercice clos le 31 décembre 2016, sur :

  • le contrôle des comptes annuels de la société GEVELOT SA, tels qu'ils sont joints au présent rapport ;
  • la justification de nos appréciations ;
  • les vérifications et informations spécifiques prévues par la loi.

Les comptes annuels ont été arrêtés par le conseil d'administration. Il nous appartient, sur la base de notre audit, d'exprimer une opinion sur ces comptes.

I - Opinion sur les comptes annuels

Nous avons effectué notre audit selon les normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France ; ces normes requièrent la mise en œuvre de diligences permettant d'obtenir l'assurance raisonnable que les comptes annuels ne comportent pas d'anomalies significatives. Un audit consiste à vérifier, par sondages ou au moyen d'autres méthodes de sélection, les éléments justifiant des montants et informations figurant dans les comptes annuels. Il consiste également à apprécier les principes comptables suivis, les estimations significatives retenues et la présentation d'ensemble des comptes. Nous estimons que les éléments que nous avons collectés sont suffisants et appropriés pour fonder notre opinion.

Nous certifions que les comptes annuels sont, au regard des règles et principes comptables français, réguliers et sincères et donnent une image fidèle du résultat des opérations de l'exercice écoulé ainsi que de la situation financière et du patrimoine de la société à la fin de cet exercice.

II - Justification de nos appréciations

En application des dispositions de l'article L. 823-9 du code de commerce relatives à la justification de nos appréciations, nous portons à votre connaissance l'élément suivant :

Votre Société détermine à chaque clôture la valeur d'inventaire de ses participations selon les méthodes décrites en note N°1a de l'annexe. Elle constitue, le cas échéant, une dépréciation lorsque cette valeur d'inventaire est inférieure à la valeur comptable.

Dans le cadre de notre appréciation des principes comptables suivis et des estimations significatives retenues pour l'arrêté des comptes, nous avons vérifié le caractère approprié des méthodes décrites dans l'annexe et nous nous sommes assurés de leur correcte application ainsi que du caractère raisonnable des estimations retenues pour leur mise en œuvre.

Les appréciations ainsi portées s'inscrivent dans le cadre de notre démarche d'audit des comptes annuels, pris dans leur ensemble, et ont donc contribué à la formation de notre opinion exprimée dans la première partie de ce rapport.

III - Vérifications et informations spécifiques

Nous avons également procédé, conformément aux normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France, aux vérifications spécifiques prévues par la loi.

Nous n'avons pas d'observation à formuler sur la sincérité et la concordance avec les comptes annuels des informations données dans le rapport de gestion du conseil d'administration et dans les documents adressés aux actionnaires sur la situation financière et les comptes annuels.

En application de la loi, nous nous sommes assurés que les diverses informations relatives à l'identité des détenteurs du capital ou des droits de vote vous ont été communiquées dans le rapport de gestion.
