2013 half year financial report 1. ACTIVITY REVIEW 1.1. Alten activity: ALTEN is European leader in Engineering and Technology Consulting. The Group carries out design and research projects for the Technical and Information Systems divisions of major customers in the industrial, telecoms and service sectors. Alten operations are divided into two business lines: 路

Technology Consulting and Engineering (TCE), which accounts for 71% of revenues

Information systems, Networks and Telecoms (SIRT) activity which accounts for 29% of revenues.

At the end of June 2013 Alten had 15,790 staff members, of whom 88% are high-level engineering consultants. Alten generated 62.2% of its business in France and 37.8% internationally, primarily in Europe. 1.2. Highlights in the first half of 2013: Alten activity remained dynamic in the first half of the year despite a contracting market. Activity increased by 2.5% in the first half of 2013 (-0.3% in France; +7.6% outside France). On a like-for-like basis and despite two fewer business days than in the first half of 2012, activity increased by 1.6% (-0.3% in France; +5% outside France). Organic growth would have amounted to +3.4% on a like-for-like basis regarding the number of business days. Aerospace, Energy and Rail remained the most dynamic sectors. Internationally, activity growth (+5% on a like-for-like basis) was driven primarily by Germany (+23.1%) and Italy (+11.8%). In contrast, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands and Sweden posted a contraction compared to the first half of 2012. In Spain the significant downturn posted in the first two quarters (-15%) can be attributed to the sharp drop in public sector business, even though engineering activity posted an increase.

2. FINANCIAL REVIEW The consolidated accounts presented in this document were approved by the Board of Directors at its 24 September 2013 meeting. 2.1. Income statement (IFRS): Revenue Revenue amounted to €613.8 M compared to €598.7 M at 30 June 2012, i.e., a 2.53% increase. On a like-for-like basis, activity increased by 1.61%: - 0.3% in France and +5% internationally. The first half of 2013 had two fewer business days than the same period in 2012. Organic growth would have amounted to 3.4 % on a like-for-like basis regarding the number of business days. Operating Profit on Activity Operating profit amounted to €53.8 M, i.e., 8.8% of revenue compared to €59 M, i.e., 9.9% of revenue in June 2012. In France the operating margin on activity posted a slight contraction from 8.4% of revenue in June 2012 to 7.6% of revenue in June 2013. The contraction can be attributed primarily to the fewer number of business days (-2) and an increase between contracts that was partially offset by CICE. Internationally, the operating margin on activity posted a slight contraction from 12.5% of revenue at 30 June 2012 to 10.7% of revenue at 30 June 2013. The adverse calendar effect which also affected international activity, along with the drop in revenue in some countries, caused profitability to fall. Operating income from ordinary activities Operating income amounted to €53.8 M after factoring in payments in shares. Operating income After booking non-recurring income, operating income amounted to €54 M, i.e., 8.8% of revenue. Net earnings, Group share After deduction of the financial result of €-0.7 M, of the tax burden of €18 M and the results of equity-method companies, net earnings, Group share, amounted to €36.2 M, i.e., 5.8% of revenue, a 6.4% contraction compared to the previous year(€38.7 M). 2.2. Consolidated balance sheet items and financial movements The financial structure of the Alten Group is very robust and has not changed compared to June 2012. Under assets, non-current assets amounted to 33% of the overall balance sheet, consisting primarily of goodwill (24.6%). Current assets excluding cash assets consisted primarily of accounts receivable and trade notes, which amounted to 57% of the balance sheet. Under liabilities, the group had significant shareholder equity (€456.7 M) amounting to 56.6% of the overall balance sheet. The group has no debt. After payment of dividends amounting to €32.2 M, the group has net cash assets of €50.6 M. The group's gearing (net debt / equity ratio) amounted to -11%. Alten therefore complied with all of its bank covenants.

-4-


In the first half of 2013 the Alten group generated cash flow of €56.9 M, a 6.3% contraction compared to the previous year (€60.6 M). The DSO ratio in the first half of the year contracted from 102 days at the end of June 2012 to 100 days at the end of June 2013. Free cash flow amounted to €26.5 M, i.e., 4.3% of revenue. Cash asset production therefore remained satisfactory despite adverse seasonal factors affecting activity at the end of June. Treasury movements on investments amounting to €- 7 M concerned primarily the financing of: ·

Tangible and intangible fixed assets (fittings, software licenses) amounting to €– 6.3 M

·

Financial fixed assets (securities and collateral; AFS stock) amounting to €– 14 M

·

External growth and additional costs on acquisitions totalling €83,000.

Treasury movements on financing operations amounted to €– 7.5 M and consisted primarily of the payment of dividends totalling €32.2 M financed by the use of current financial liabilities (€18.4 M) and capital increases from the exercise of stock options (€6.8 M). Consequently, net cash asset variation amounted to €11.5 M according to IFRS. Net cash assets at 30 June 2013 amounted to €50.6 M (€17.4 M at 30 June 2012). 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS There were no related party transactions in the first half of 2013. 4. EVENTS SINCE 30 JUNE 2013 -

On 17 July 2013 Alten Europe acquired the Belgian company Quasus and its subsidiary in the Netherlands. The Belgian group specialises in business process management, IT project management and IT testing. It has 115 consultants (110 in Belgium and five in the Netherlands). The acquisition makes it possible for the Alten group to consolidate its presence on the Belgian market in particular thanks to synergies with Alten Belgium (€13 M revenue, 115 engineers).

-

On 24 July 2013 Alten SA acquired the ADDS group, which specialises in life sciences. The ADDS group comprises several companies owned by ADDS Group SAS (2012 revenue: €3.2 M - 30 consultants).

5. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2013 The type and severity of risks incurred by the group have not changed in relation to the risk factors outlined on pages 86 to 89 of the 2012 reference document filed with Autorité des Marchés Financiers on 26 April 2013.. Developments in the economic climate and in particular its impact on activity rates as well as the group's recruitment ability are among the main factors which may affect the business market in the second half of the year. 6. OUTLOOK The European technology consulting market has probably contracted in the first half of 2013 (a contraction in France, BENELUX and Spain), but should resume growth in the second half of the year. Action plans to make the most of the economic recovery at the end of 2013 and in 2014 have been implemented in this semester.

-5-


Between contract contraction and expected improvement in operating margin in the second half of the year.

Alten is optimistic about its continued growth: France: moderate growth with a significant recovery from the second half of 2013 onwards, Internationally: more dynamic organic and external growth.

Challenges will concern: Optimising management of trans-national projects Achieving critical mass (1,500 people) in eastern European countries Implementing targeted, accretive external growth operations.

Boulogne Billancourt, 08 October 2013 The Board of Directors

ALTEN GROUP

Consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2013

2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP The Alten group is the European leader in the Engineering and Technology Consulting (ETC) market. The parent company ALTEN is a joint stock company with a board of directors subject to French law and leads the group of companies. Its head office is located at 40 avenue André Morizet in Boulogne Billancourt (92513). The company was established on 28 October 1988 with a legal term of 99 years. ALTEN carries out design and research projects for the Technical and Information Systems divisions of major customers in the industrial, telecoms and service sectors. Operations are divided into two business lines: Technology Consulting and Engineering (71% of revenue) and Information Systems, Networks and Telecoms (29% of revenue). ALTEN works with its customers through various types of packages: in consulting mode in “work package” mode or in “globalised platforms” (most of these services are rendered with a best effort undertaking and are invoiced according to time spent; fixed-rate projects by which Alten is bound by a results commitment at a fixed rate account for less than 10% of activity).

ALTEN has been ISO certified since 1998 and has applied a structural program to the group in particular in implementing CMMI certification processes, strengthening the Structured Projects division with by centres of competencies and systematic training for experienced managers and consultants in “structured project” management. ALTEN has been CMMI 3 level d since 2012. The condensed consolidated accounts presented in this document were approved by the Board of Directors at its 24 September 2013 meeting. Unless stated otherwise, accounts have been drawn up in thousands of Euros.

Organic growth would have amounted to 3.4% on a like-for-like basis regarding the number of working days. The main sectors driving growth were Aeronautics, Space and Defence (25.3% of revenue) and Energy and Life Sciences (19.7% of turnover). Originators continued their policy of streamlining approved supplier lists based on (i) multiple competencies and offers in engineering, (ii) the ability to manage global projects and ensure productivity gains, (iii) an international presence and access to offshore / nearshore services.

2.2.2

Legal reorganisations

The group implemented the following changes in legal structure in the first half of the year: In France ALTEN SA merged the assets of the B2I company to absorb it. In Sweden X DIN Oresund, X DIN Linkoping and X DIN Stockolm were merged into X DIN AB.

ALTEN GROUP

Consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2013

2.3 ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting principles and calculation methods used to draw up the consolidated accounts at 30 June 2013 were the same as those used for the consolidated accounts at 31 December other than the specific provisions stipulated in IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. The interim financial statements therefore do not include all the requisite information and must be read with reference to the consolidated accounts for the year ending 31 December 2012. The accounting principles and methods used by the ALTEN group for its half-year consolidated financial statements are the same as those used in annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2012. The Group did, however, apply the new mandatory standards and interpretations effective 1 January 2013 to the accounts at 30 June 2013. Only the application of IAS 19 revised “Employee Benefits” had an impact on consolidated accounts. The impact is outlined in section 2.4 – change in method. New mandatory standards and interpretations applicable for the first time by the Group are as follows:

Applicable dates: financial years starting 01 January 2013

Standards, amendments or interpretations Rev ised IAS 19- employee benefits Amendement to IAS 1 "Presentation of items of other

01 July 2012

comprehensiv e income (OCI)" Annual improv ements (2009-2011)

01 January 2013

Amendement to IFRS 7 - Disclosure - Offsetting

01 January 2013

financial assets and financial liabilities"

The ALTEN Group did not apply in advance the latest standards, amendments and interpretations already published by IASB and adopted at European level for which application was not compulsory on 1 January 2013.

2.3.1

Management estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards requires that certain estimates and assumptions be made which may affect the amounts shown in the financial statements. These estimates and assessments are continuously made on the basis of past experience and other factors considered reasonable. The main estimates made by management in drawing up the consolidated position are stated in the 2012 reference document on page 170. The current, rapidly changing economic climate makes an understanding of the outlook for the group's activity more complex; the uncertainty inherent in some estimates may be amplified, particularly with regard to forecasts of results and treasury movements.

2.5 FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS

Liquidity risk

·

A prudent liquidity management plan involves keeping a sufficient level of liquid assets, having financial resources through appropriate credit facilities and being able to settle one's positions on the market. The Group maintains financial flexibility through €170 million of available, confirmed but unused credit facilities (at financial year end) of which €150 million was confirmed in December 2012 under the “club deal” for a maximum period of three years, and €21.5 million of short-term unconfirmed lines of credit that are renewable annually.

The club deal imposes the follow ratios which must be complied with every six and twelve months (and for the first time at 30 June 2013) for as long as the contract is in effect and advances are in use: -

Ratio 1 - "Consolidated net financial debt / Operating income from consolidated activity". This ratio must be less than 2.1. Ratio 2 - “Consolidated net financial debt / Improved Shareholder Equity”. This ratio must be less than 0.7.

At 30 June 2013, these banking ratios were adhered to.

·

Credit risk

Credit risk is the financial loss risk in the event that a customer fails to honour its contractual obligations. The group does not have any major concentration of credit risks. See note 3.5 Current assets – breakdown of the accounts receivable portfolio by account age.

·

Interest rate variation risks

The interest rate risk to which the group is exposed arises from the club deal implemented in December 2012 and which is indexed to Euribor for the interest period in question. It therefore incurs an exchange rate risk based on changes in the reference index. Due to the structure of its financing, the Group has not implemented interest rate hedging. At 30 June 2013 the credit line was exercised to the extent of €20 M.

·

Exchange risks

Most operations are implemented within each domestic market, which means that the exchange risk affecting movements between different currency zones remains limited. As the risk is limited, the group has not implemented exchange risk hedging.

ALTEN GROUP

Consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2013

The group conducts value tests annually or when value loss indicators emerge. Tests conducted at 30 June 2013 for UGTs with value loss indicators indicated that the redeemable value of assets exceeded the net book value. Consequently, no value loss was booked at 30 June 2013. The weighted actual cost of capital for the country and perpetual growth rate used at 30 June 2013 were the same as those at 31 December 2012.

In light of the contraction in activity in Spain (-14.9% of revenue compared to 30 June 2012), Spain is the most sensitive UGT to variations in assumptions. The results of sensitivity tests are summarised below:

Statutory Auditors' report on half-year financial statements ALTEN - 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013 Dear Shareholders, In order to carry out the assignment entrusted to us by your General Shareholder Meeting and pursuant to article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code, we have undertaken the following: •

A limited examination of the consolidated and condensed half-year financial statements of the ALTEN company for the period from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013 which are attached to this report

•

A verification of the information provided in the half-year activity report.

The consolidated, condensed half-year statements were drawn up under the responsibility of the board of directors. Our role is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our limited examination. 1

Findings concerning financial statements

We have carried out our limited review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited examination or review entails primarily discussions with executives tasked with the accounting and financial aspects and implementing analytical procedures. These tasks are less extensive than those required for an audit carried out in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Consequently, assurance that financial statements taken as a whole does not contain any significant anomalies resulting from a limited examination must remain moderate and less broad than what would result from an audit. Based on our limited examination, we have not identified any significant anomalies which may bring into question the compliance of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements with IAS 34, the standard in IFRS adopted in the European Union concerning interim financial disclosures. Without questioning the finding stated above, we would like to draw your attention to note 2.4 "Change in method" for the notes to the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements that outlines the effects of applying IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" amendments as of 1 January 2013. 2

Specific verification

We also verified the information stated in the half-year activity report with comments on the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements covered by our limited examination. We have no matters to report with regard to the fairness and consistency of this information against the consolidated financial statements.
