  1. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS, CONSOLIDATION METHODS, VALUATION METHODS AND PRINCIPLES

2.1. The Group

The attached consolidated interim condensed financial statements show the operations of the company SRP Groupe S.A. (hereafter referred to as "the Company") and its subsidiaries, together with the Group's share in companies over which it exercises a significant influence or joint control (the whole hereafter referred to as "the Group"). The Group's activity is dedicated to private sales of items on the Internet.

2.2. Main events during the period

During the reporting period the Group acquired 60% of the shares of Beauté Privée SA, France (see Note 3.2 details of the transaction).

2.3. Accounting standards

The consolidated interim condensed financial statements were drawn up in compliance with the international financial reporting standard IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting." They do not include all the information required by the IFRS standard for establishment of complete annual financial statements and must be read together with the Group's financial statements for the financial year ended on 31 December 2016.

The consolidated interim condensed financial statements for the periods from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 and related notes were approved by the Board of Directors on 25 July 2017.

The accounting principles adopted for drawing up the consolidated interim condensed financial statements for the period from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 are identical to those used for presentation of the annual consolidated accounts for the financial year ended on 31 December 2016.

IFRS accounting standards allow the application in advance of the following new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union:

  • IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
  • IFRS 9 Financial instruments

The following IFRS standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, not yet adopted by the European Union on 30 June 2016 and the application of which is not mandatory, were not applied in advance by the Group:

  • IAS 7 (amendements) Disclosure Initiative
  • IAS 12 (amendements) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses
  • IFRIC 22 (interpretation) Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration
  • IFRIC 23 (interpretation) Uncertainty over income tax treatment
  • Annual improvements 2014-2016

The following IFRS standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not yet applicable on 30 June 2017:

  • IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts
  • IFRS 16 Leases
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
  • IFRS 10 et IAS 28 Sale or asset contribution between an investor and an associated company (amendements) or joint venture
  • IFRS 15 (clarification) Revenue from regular business contracts concluded with customers
  • IFRS 2 (modifications) Classification and evaluation of transactions where the payment is share-based
  • IFRS 4 (modifications) Application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 4

The Group is currently pursuing an analysis in order to measure the impact from these new accounting standards, in particular IFRS 9, 15 and 16.


2.4. Use of estimates and assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards requires Management to exercise judgements, make estimates and assumptions that may have an impact on application of accounting methods and on the amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure.

These estimates take into account economic data and hypotheses that are likely to vary over time and may contain some uncertainties. They mainly concern the valuation methods and hypotheses used for the purpose of identifying intangible assets in relation to business combinations, monitoring the Goodwill value, valuation of intangible assets, stock valuation and estimates of provisions, assets and liabilities resulting from finance lease contracts.

In the context of preparation of the consolidated interim condensed financial statements, the significant assumptions made by Management in order to apply the Group's accounting methods and the main sources of uncertainty relative to estimates are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year closed on 31 December 2016.

2.5. Accounting principles and valuation methods

In the context of preparation of the consolidated interim condensed financial statements, the accounting principles and valuation methods are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year closed on 31 December 2016.

2.6. Seasonality

Performance in the 2nd half-year is better than in the 1st half-year since the seasonality of the activity and demand usually reach a peak in the fourth quarter of the year, before the Christmas period. During this period, the Group usually realizes its highest volume of sales and acquires its largest number of new members.

This seasonality has an impact on cash-flow and working capital requirements in the 1st half-year. During the first half-year, the Group pays its suppliers for major conditional sales volumes and reconstitute its stocks and marketing costs incurred during the fourth quarter of the previous year are settled during this period.

The five subsidiaries SRP LOG, SRP Prod, SRP Spain, SRP GmbH and SRP Italy provide support to the business activity of Showroomprivé.com.

3.2. Development of scope during the period

On March 15, 2017 the Group acquired a controlling share in Beauté Privée SA, France, by purchasing 60% of the share capital of that company. Beauté Privée is active in the sale of beauty products on the internet.

The consideration comprises the price already paid as well as a variable price component to be paid at a later stage to the seller (« Earn-out »). The amount of the earn-out depends on the performance of the acquired company in 2017. The share purchase agreement also includes a put and a call option for the seller and the acquirer which makes an acquisition of the remaining shares (40%) by the Group in the future virtually certain.

Against this background the Group has opted for the following accounting treatment of this acquisition:

  • The goodwill is based on the price already paid or yet to be paid prix for the 60% already acquired as well as a fair value estimate for the remaining 40% in accordance with IFRS 3R.
  • The Group has recognized in its balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 a debt for the earn-out linked to the purchase of the 60% share as well as for the future acquisition of the remaining 40% of shares in accordance with IAS 32. Both will be revalued regularly to reflect any changes in value until their respective expiry dates.
  • In line with this accounting treatment no non-controlling interests will be shown in Group's balance sheet as they are deemed already acquired by the Group.

In this context the total consideration for this acquisition presents itself as follows:

Share Item in M€
60% Payment in cash 11.4
Earn-out 2.0
40% Put / call option recognized as debt 9.9
Total consideration 23.3

On this basis the allocation of purchase consideration to all assets and liabilities acquired at the acquisition date yielded the following result:

Balance sheet item En M€
Trademark 1,3
Customer relationships 7,2
Fixed assets 0,1
Working capital (including cash & cash equivalents) 0,9
Differed taxes (2,7)
Goodwill 16,5
Total assets and liabilities acquired 23,3

The purchase price allocation is provisional at the half-year closing date. It will be finalized in accordance with IFRS 3R at the end of the adjustment period of twelve months following the acquisition date.

Beauté Privée SA France has a subsidiary in Spain (Beauté Privé España SRL). Both Beauté Privée and its subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 with their respective contributions to the Group’s business since the acquisition date.

4. NOTES TO THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

4.1. Information by customer geographic area

The geographies presented according to the customers’ geographic origin cover the following areas:

The Group deploys its offer in France and in nine foreign countries through a multi-currency offer from its single platform based in France. Sales in Italy are generated through the sales platform of Saldi Privati:

EBITDA in % of net revenue 3,6% 6,8% -11,4% 6,6% 7,4% 0,1%

The EBITDA per geographic area is based on an allocation of operating expenses according to turnover related to the area's business activity.

4.2. Operating expenses by type

Cost of goods sold -191 765 -144 826

Other provisions and depreciations 101 -223
Other operating income and expense -49 793
Current operating expenses -299 488 -226 896

4.3. Income Tax

The income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full year.

Based on the weighted average rate (tax based on pre-tax profit), i.e. the forecast tax charge (excluding CVAE) in relation to the expected profit before tax for the whole year and estimated at 44%, the income tax amounts 0.2M€ at 30 June 2017. The CVAE tax amounted to 0.5M€ in the first half of the financial year.

The projected rate is still impacted by a significant charge for IFRS 2 which is not deductible from taxable income.


4.4. Other operating income and expenditure

For the first half of 2017, other operating income and expenditure (not counting amortization of assets recognized through business combination) amounted to 5.2 M€ and essentially include the following non-recurring elements:

  • Shares and stock options allocated to employees 2.5M€
  • Restructuring measures 1.1M€
  • Integration Saldi Privati 0.6M€
  • Fees linked to litigations 0.5M€

For the same period in 2016, other operating income and expenditure included:

  • Shares and stock options allocated to employees 7.8M€
  • Fees linked to litigations 1.0M€
  • Closedown of the SR30 business activity 0.7M€
  • Fees linked to the 2015 IPO process 0.5M€

5. NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET

5.1. Goodwill

Goodwill depreciation - - - - - -
Net book value 102 782 16 547 - - - 119 080

The movement during the reporting period is mainly linked to the first-time consolidation of Beauté Privée (see Note 3.2). Other changes relate to a change in the acquisition price of Saldi.

The group did not identify any loss of value indicators that would justify an impairment test for goodwill and other assets and liabilities.

On 30 June 2016, short-term investments are essentially made up of immediately-available short-term deposits, as was the case in the previous financial years.

In the first half of 2017, the decrease in cash, amounting to €55.9M, is mainly due to

  • Cash flows from operating activities that are structurally negative in the first half of every financial year due to the cyclical activity of the Group;
  • Purchasing opportunities that the Group seized in the first half of the year in order to fuel its second-half growth trend (increase in purchases of 42 M€ of purchases for SRP-owned inventory compared H1 2016).

  • The acquisition of a 60% share in Beauté Privée for an amount of 11.4M€ (cf. Note 3.2).

Les main changes during the reporting period are linked to the financing of the Group’s acquisitions:

  • A bank borrowing of 15 M€ in order to finance the 2016 acquisition of Saldi Privati.
  • A debt of 9,9M€ towards the minority shareholders which represents the best estimate of the future payment for the acquisition the remaining shares (40%) in Beauté Privée (see Note 3.2).

Remaining bank borrowings are almost exclusively related to finance lease contracts.

As part of the 15 M€ bank borrowing SRP Groupe S.A. has committed itself to comply with certain financial ratios:

  • The first is calculated on the basis of financial debt to EBITDA,
  • The second is calculated on the basis of financial net debt to net equity.

These ratios are calculated at each annual closing date (starting with the financial year ended 31 December 2017) based on the annual consolidated accounts, certified by the Group auditors.

5.9. Stock option schemes

On 5 August 2010, the General Meeting of Shareholders authorised the Board of Directors to grant to a certain number of associates of the Group, on one or more occasions and over a period of 38 months, options entitling them to subscribe for shares.

On 27 October 2014, the General Meeting of Shareholders authorised the Board of Directors to grant to a given number of employees of the Group, on one or more occasions, and over a period of 38 months, options entitling them to subscribe for new shares.

The main features of these schemes and the basis of calculation are summarised in the table below:

Depending on the calculation parameters used in determining the fair value, and on the basis of an updated assumption of the turnover rate of recipient employees, the expense recognized as "Cost of share based payments" amounts to 2,046k€ for the first half of 2017.

The total amount to be amortized until 2019 in respect of these plans is 4,743k€.

6. GROUP EXPOSURE TO FINANCIAL RISKS

6.1. Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is not highly exposed to foreign-exchange risk with respect to its operational activities. The vast majority of transactions (Internet) undertaken by its customers is invoiced or paid in Euros. Most purchases made from suppliers are invoiced or paid in Euros.

If the Euro appreciates (or depreciates) against another currency, the value in Euros of items of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure initially recognized in this other currency will decrease (or increase). Hence, fluctuations in the value of the Euro may have an impact on the Euro value of items of assets and liabilities, income and expenditure not denominated in Euros, even if the value of these items has not changed in the original currency.

A 10% variation in the exchange-rate parity of currencies other than the functional currencies of the subsidiaries would not have a significant impact on the Group's net income for the first half of 2017.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to an interest rate risk with regard to its short-term investments.

The impact of a fall in interest rate by 1 point applied to short-term rates would have had a non-significant impact on the Group's net income for the first half of 2017.

6.2. Liquidity risk

In order to manage the liquidity risk which may result from repayment of financial liabilities, whether at their contractual maturity or in advance, the Group implements a prudent financial policy based, in particular, on the investment of its surplus free cash flow in risk-free financial investments.

The group is not subject to any bank guarantee.

6.3. Credit risk

The financial assets which may, by their nature, expose the Group to a credit or counterparty risk essentially concern:

  • Customer receivables: this risk is monitored on a daily basis through the collection and recovery processes. B2B customers are submitted to a regular follow-up in order to minimize the collection risk.
  • Financial investments: the Group's policy is to spread its investments over monetary instruments with short-term maturity, in general for a period of less than 1 month, in compliance with the rules governing diversification and the quality of counterparties

  • Advance payments to suppliers as part of the Group purchasing process

The book value of financial assets recognized in the financial statements, which is stated after deduction of impairment losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.

The Group does not hold any significant financial assets that are overdue and not amortized.

7. RELATED PARTIES

7.1. Related parties having control over the Group

On 30 June 2016, the SRP Group had not granted any loan or borrowing in favor of members of the Group's Management.

During the first half of 2016, no significant transaction had been carried out with shareholders and members of management bodies.

The remuneration of senior executives is detailed in the table below:

Subsidiaries within the Group's consolidation scope carry out transactions between themselves, which are eliminated in the context of the consolidated financial statements

7.2. Other related parties

As part of its normal business, the Group carries out transactions with entities partly owned by some executives of the Group. These transactions, conducted at market prices, essentially relate to the renting of the following real estate properties:

9. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On July 3, 2017 Groupe Conforama, a subsidiary of Steinhoff Group, finalized the acquisition of a strategic shareholding of 17% in the share capital of SRP Groupe as announced by a press statement on May 12, 2017.

This transaction was carried out by way of a private sale of shares by the founders of Showroomprivé at a price of 27 euros per share, for an amount totaling 157.5M€. After this transaction the founders still own a share of 27.17% in the capital and 40.66% of voting rights in SRP Groupe.

The shareholder group formed by the founders has concluded a shareholder agreement with Conforama / Steinhoff to form a second group of shareholders holding 44.15% of the capital and 54.47% of voting rights in SRP Groupe.

This transaction benefited from an exception granted by the French stock market regulator AMF to the acquirer as to the obligation of making a public offer.

2. KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM H1 2017

In the first half of 2017, Showroomprivé posted solid revenue growth, driven in particular by the acceleration of International operations. Showroomprivé consolidated its strategy aiming to respond to all the needs of digital women by acquiring Beauté Privée and implementing a strategic and commercial partnership with Steinhoff/Conforama.

1. Group transformation with the signing of a strategic partnership with Steinhoff/Conforama

  • A strategic and commercial partnership with Steinhoff / Conforama was announced on May 17th and finalized on July 3rd.
  • This strategic partnership will allow Showroomprivé to accelerate the implementation of its growth ambitions in France and on an international level.
  • Thanks to this partnership, Showroomprivé will: (i) reinforce itself in the household equipment sector; (ii) have access to an exceptional network of physical stores for the click-and-collect of Showroomprivé products, and (iii) benefit from the support in terms of sourcing and the international presence of the Steinhoff group.
  • Operational teams have begun to work more closely while synergies and joint commercial development have just started. First synergies are to be implemented as early as in the 3rd quarter.

2. Earlier integration of Saldi Privati

  • The important integration work undertaken in November 2016 has been successfully completed, allowing the merger of the two platforms Showroomprivé and Saldi Privati, as well as of their infrastructure and member databases.
  • All Group employees now use the same tools, interfaces, and platforms to facilitate interaction and sharing of sales.
  • The completion of this stage, that has had a one-off impact on the EBITDA margin of Saldi Privati in H1, will enable the announced cost and revenue synergies to be implemented as early as in the second half of 2017. Profitability will therefore be achieved in 2018.

3. Continuous improvement in service quality and in customer experience

Customer navigation

  • All the digital innovations developed in France (new UX, new mobile website, new search engine) have been rolled out internationally.
  • Launch of a new sponsorship module

  • Delivery and service quality

  • 7,000 new additional pick-up points have been established in Europe and a specific network for delivery of heavy products has also been created.

  • Organic growth was 16.8%.
  • EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was 4.5% (3.6% with Saldi Privati).
  • Group's EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was impacted by marketing investments anticipated from H2 in H1 (+€1.2 million), and by storage costs related to firm purchase opportunities grasped in H1 in order to foster year-end growth.
  • Excluding these exceptional items, the adjusted EBITDA margin excluding Saldi Privati was 5.3%.

  • Acceleration of International growth

  • The Group's international growth was 87% over H1 (28% like-for-like) with a revenue of €54 million.
  • As a result of the multi-local strategy (recruitment of local teams, redesign of logistics for the international segment, and rollout of new functionalities already launched in France) started in 2016, this strong growth has confirmed the acceleration seen within the International segment since Q4 2016.
  • The Group has continued to strengthen its international sourcing teams in order to provide an even better offer adapted to its international customers' expectations.

  • Strengthening of CSR initiatives on innovation

  • Adding value to its fashion-based model and its brand partners, Showroomprivé has stayed a step ahead by continuing to develop its initiatives regarding Fashion Tech.
  • In line with its social involvement, the Showroomprivé Foundation opened the first e-commerce school in Roubaix. Over the next five years, the school will offer more than 4,000 hours of free training to nearly 100 students isolated from the labour market.
  • From June 28th to July 3rd, Showroomprivé organised the 2nd annual "Look Forward Fashion Tech Festival", bringing together more than 10,000 visitors at the Gaîté Lyrique.

3. DETAILED COMMENTARY FOR EACH TYPE OF INDICATORS

3.1 Revenues

(€ millions) H1 2016 H1 2017 % Growth
Internet revenue
France 205.5 243.5 +18.5%
International 28.9 54.1 +87.1%
Total Internet revenues 234.4 297.6 +26.9%
Other revenues 5.9 8.6 +45.5%
Net revenues 240.3 306.2 +27.4%
(€ millions) Q2 2016 Q2 2017 % Growth
Net revenues 123.0 152.4 +23.9%

The 27.4% increase in Group revenues to more than €306.2 million is driven by France and by the strong performance of the International group activities.

Revenues in France were up by 18% to reach €243.5 million, and continue to out-perform the e-commerce market.

International revenues grew by 87% (28% on a like-for-like basis) confirming the strong rebound observed since the end of 2016.

In Q2, the Group had revenues of €152.4 million, representing a growth of 24% compared with 2016.


3.2 Key performance indicators1

Average number of orders per buyer 3.0 3.1 +4.4
Average basket size 38.9 39.6 +1.8
Share of revenue from mobile 57% 60% +3pts

¹ Excluding Saldi Privati from Jan-May and Beauteprivee

Revenue growth in H1 2017 was driven by both an increase in the number of buyers and by the average revenue per buyer.

The number of buyers in H1 2017 reached 2.2 million, an increase of 9.4% vs. 2016.

Average revenue per buyer continued to significantly increase (+6.4%), to reach €124. This was driven by both an increase in the average number of orders per buyer (+4.4%) and a rise in the average basket size compared with H1 2016, which was €39.6 (+1.8%). These trends demonstrate the attractiveness of the Group's offer and the growing loyalty of its members.

The Group's growth remains underpinned by the mobile segment that now generates 81% of traffic and 60% of net revenue, i.e. 13 points more than the previous year.

EBITDA for the first six months reached €10.9 million. Excluding the impact of Saldi Privati's acquisition, whose performance was impacted by non-recurring costs related to the ePRICE group's carve-out and the integration on Showroomprivé platform (successfully finalized in early June), EBITDA reached €13 million.

EBITDA excluding Saldi Privati was punctually impacted by marketing investments anticipated from H2 in H1 (+€1.2 million), and by storage costs (+ € 1 million) related to firm purchase opportunities grasped in H1 in order to prepare for the year-end (€ 42 million increase in firm purchases compared to H1 2016).

Retreated of these items, EBITDA excluding Saldi Privati reached €15.2 million, a margin of 5.3%.

Profitability in France reached 6.8% in H1 2017. Excluding storage costs related to firm purchase opportunities, and anticipation of marketing expenses from H2 in H1, it was 7.4%, in line with H1 2016.

International operations amounted to a loss of €6.2 million, due to Saldi Privati (€-2.1 million due to the costs associated with the integration of Saldi Privati) and the increase in international marketing expenses.

Gross margin went up by 20% to reach €114.4 million, representing 37.4% of net revenues, a level similar to the one recorded in H2 2016.

The decline since H1 2016 (39.7%) is explained by the consolidation of Saldi Privati (40bps impact) and the reallocation from the second half of 2016 of a portion of marketing expenses to initiatives promoting conversion such as the Infinity program, the single basket, and some price investments.

Operating costs were up 110bps, rising from 34.1% to 35.2% of revenue due to changes in scope, storage costs linked to firm purchase opportunities taken to drive growth in the second half of the year and higher marketing expenses:

  • Marketing expenses rose from 3.5% to 4.0% of revenue due to the increase in international marketing expenses, media investments initially planned in the second half of the year being brought forward to the first half (impact of €1.2 million) and scope effects (impact of €1.3 million).
  • Expenses linked to logistics and fulfilment followed the group's growth and remained stable as a percentage of revenue compared with H1 2016 (23.3% vs. 23.1%), despite additional storage costs (€1 million) linked to firm purchase opportunities taken in H1.
  • Finally, general and administrative costs increased as a percentage of revenue from 7.4% to 8.0% due to changes in scope linked to the acquisitions of Saldi Privati and Beauté Privée. Excluding the impact of changes in scope, these amounted to 7.5% of revenue.

3.5 Other financial information

(€ million) H1 2016 H1 2017 % Growth
Current operating profit 13.4 6.7 -50.2%
Amortisation of intangible assets recognised upon business reorganisation -0.4 -0.8 92.6%
Other operating income and expenses -10.0 -5.2 -47.6%
Operating profit 3.0 0.7 -77.2%
Net finance costs -0.2 -0.2 6.4%
Other financial income and expenses 0.2 0.1 -51.1%
Profit before tax 3.0 0.5 -82.2%
Income taxes -2.3 -0.7 -67.5%
Net income 0.7 -0.2 -129.7%
Net income excluding Saldi Privati 0.7 3.6 +411.4%

Other operating income and expenses (€5.2 million) can be broken down as follows:


  • €2.8 million in non-recurrent charges corresponding mostly to the integration of Saldi Privati, to internal reorganization costs and to litigations and fees
  • €2.4 million in costs linked to the free share allocation mainly at the time of the Group's initial public offering at the end of 2015.

The Group's tax charge fell by 68% to €0.7 million.

As a result, net income, Group share was -€0.2 million. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Saldi Privati, it rose to €3.6 million versus €0.7 million in H1 2016.

3.6 Cash flow items

(€ million) H1 2016 H1 2017
Cash flows from operating activities -13.5 -56.0
Cash flows from investing activities -3.6 -15.2
Cash flows from financing activities 0.3 15.0
Net change in cash and cash equivalents -16.8 -56.2
Recurring cash from operating activities after capex and before tax¹ -10.8 -15.3

¹Cash flow from operating activities after capex and before tax restated from non-recurring operating items (€2.8 million linked to non-recurring costs and €42.5 million linked to stock purchasing opportunities grasped in H1 to prepare for H2)

The net change in cash in H1 2017 was -€56 million due to:

  • Cash flow linked to operating activities, structurally negative in the first half of each financial year (and offset in the second half) given the cyclical nature of the Group's business;
  • Firm purchase opportunities seized in the first half to drive the growth at the end of the year (increase of €42 billion of firm purchases compared to H1 2016). At 30/06/2017, the group's inventories were very young, as, on this date, 30% had not yet been put on sale and 60% were less than 6 months old.
  • The acquisition of 60% of Beauté Privée for a consideration of €11.4 million.

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to -€56.0 million. Excluding the impact of stock purchasing opportunities from H1, these amounted to -€13.5 million, remaining at a comparable level to H1 2016.

Cash flows from investing activities amounted to -€15.2 million. Excluding the impact of Beauté Privée, these totalled €3.8 million.

Cash flows from investing activities amounted to €15.0 million due to the securing of €15.0 million in bank funding to finance part of the acquisition of Saldi Privati at the end of 2016.

Statutory Auditors' Review Report on the Half-yearly Financial Information

For the six-month period ended 30 June 2017

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your 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 SRP Groupe S.A., for the period from January 1 to June 30 2017,
  • 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

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim condensed 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 condensed financial information

II. 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
