          The LISI Group benefits from the tax integration regime, which
        
        
          covers all its French subsidiaries. The tax integration agreement
        
        
          stipulates that tax gains should be retained at the parent
        
        
          company level. The overall amount of corporate income tax at
        
        
          December 31, 2012 is a tax income.

          the commitments made by some of the Group’s subsidiaries.
        
        
          Moreover, its agreements with some partners require
        
        
          compliance with financial covenants.
        
        
          Commitments given under the terms of the transaction for the

          Financial derivatives:
        
        
          LISI S.A. uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its
        
        
          exposure to foreign exchange risk, and occasionally to hedge
        
        
          its interest rate risks resulting from its financial activities. In
        
        
          accordance with its cash management policy, LISI S.A. neither
        
        
          holds nor issues derivatives for trading purposes.
        
        
          The currency hedges are underwritten by LISI S.A. to cover all of
        
        
          the LISI Group's needs.
