As part of our assessment of the accounting principles applied by your company, we have examined
the correct last fiscal year application and of the information provided in the note « declaration of
conformity ».
- The note “Comparability of financial statements” of the consolidated financial statements describes
the changes in the presentation of income statement according to destination. Pursuant IAS 8, the
comparative information referring the last fiscal year and presented in the consolidated financial
statements, was restated to take into account, in a retrospective way, this change of method of
presentation. Therefore, the comparative information is different to the consolidated financial
statements published for last fiscal year.
As part of our assessment of the accounting principles applied by your company, we have examined
the correct last fiscal year income statement restatement.
