            Earnings at December 31, 2012
          
        
        
          The remarks below relate to the income statement for 2012.
        
        
          •
        
        
          
            In 2012, operating income amounted to €9.4m, compared
          
        
        
          
            with €10m in 2011 and was broken down as follows:
          
        
        
          
            – The sales revenues
          
        
        
          of LISI S.A. amounted to €6.8m
        
        
          compared with €6.2m in 2011, an increase of +10.1%.
        
        
          They are essentially made up of services invoiced to the
        
        
          subsidiaries of LISI S.A. in respect of assistance, control and
        
        
          coordination of activities. In 2012, these invoices impacted
        
        
          on the subsidiaries, LISI S.A.’s operating costs increased by
        
        
          10%.
        
        
          
            – The other operating income
          
        
        
          amounted to €2.6m in 2012,
        
        
          compared with €3.8m in 2011. This amount is due in
        
        
          part to the impact of the provision reversal regarding the
        
        
          performance share award plans of +€1.9m, a provision
        
        
          reversal for environmental risks of +€0.8m, and a provision
        
        
          reversal for charges of €0.2m.
        
        
          •
        
        
          
            The operating expenses
          
        
        
          amounted to €7.0m in 2012,
        
        
          representing a decrease of 16.8% compared to 2011, mainly
        
        
          due to the fees item that included the fees for the acquisition
        
        
          and disposal of companies in N -1.
        
        
          •
        
        
          
            The operating result
          
        
        
          therefore grew from +€1.6m in 2011 to
        
        
          +€2.4m in 2012.
