          Financial situation
        
        
          Free Cash Flow is slightly negative (-€1.2 million) and reflects
        
        
          the high level of investment of €11.6 million, which takes into
        
        
          account €4.7m for the acquisition of buildings and land at
        
        
          Neyron. The €6.9 million of equipment were mainly devoted to
        
        
          LISI MEDICAL Orthopaedics (€6.1 million) for the establishment
        
        
          of a knee and prototypes unit, and for robotic finishing means.
        
        
          
            OUTLOOK
          
        
        
          The recovery observed in January 2013 seems promising and
        
        
          should be confirmed.
        
        
          Stopping partial unemployment was decided in January 2013
        
        
          for all sites thanks to the development of new projects, and in
        
        
          particular with major customers in emerging markets.
        
        
          LISI MEDICAL is today a coherent and consistent group with a
        
        
          long-term industrial approach totally dedicated to the needs of
        
        
          its major customers.
        
        
          The year 2013 must prove the relevance of this approach in
        
        
          this demanding market for the production of medical implants.
