The Companys ability to make a comprehensive offer (handset, accessories, and services) has advantages for many groups of customers: End-users. The ability to offer a complete line based on brand and lifestyle resulting from to a wellchosen telephone with all the matching accessories (carrying cases, neck straps, hands-free kits, battery chargers, multimedia products) as well as a multitude of services directly accessible by telephone (Java, WAP, or SMS) or through a website. Operators and MVNOs: A fully-integrated offering that makes it possible to capture a given type of clientele at lower cost, to build their loyalty and ARPU. Major consumer-goods brands: "Brand stretching" is highly developed and seems to be spreading to mass merchandizing. "Brand stretching" makes it possible to diversify the offering under a given brand and build loyalty among customers seeking new products. In exploiting the good image of a brand and placing the brand on a new product, ModeLabs Group will seek to make it easier to market the product and gain consumer acceptance. ModeLabs Group has sought to adapt its Mobile-On-Demand* offering, to meet the specific concerns of brands seeking to compete in the mobile telephone industry in terms of market identification and potential, design and innovation, production, operational marketing, and distribution through the appropriate sales channels. Retailers: ModeLabs Group seeks to supply offerings that generate traffic in a store by featuring a complete product line built around a segment, a brand, and its merchandising. In addition to the related accessories, sale of a handset can also generate additional revenues.
ModeLabs Group has the ability not only to design accessories for retailers, but also handsets and services that can be sold under their brand. This makes it possible to target certain segments of their clientele and increase their loyalty. 6.4 The ModeLabs Group product line
ModeLabs Group has built an offering that combines three major product lines: accessories, mobile telephones, and services. The combination of these three lines makes it possible to assemble attractive offers that closely fit the needs of customer segments. Currently, ModeLabs Group has an integrated and innovative approach that covers the full range of expertise needed to make complete offers that respond to different customer needs. These cover both the market for multifunctional equipment, with standard and custom mobile telephones and accessories, and segmented markets, with on-demand mobile phones, accessories, and services. Each of these categories is individually managed in ModeLabs Groups product specification and design process. With increasing segmentation of the market, ModeLabs Groups believes that the principal factors motivating the purchase of a mid-range or high-end mobile telephone will be the brand, the design, the user interface, and services. The brand (symbolizes belonging to a certain group): Show me your telephone and Ill tell you who you are Through the brand, the consumer finds a set of values, themes, and identities that he or she knows and feels comfortable with. The concept of brand stretching is precisely a means of extending the coverage of a brand to new products beyond its traditional line. There are many brand owners that could be interested by the potential of the mobile telephone. Beyond the additional revenue potential, moving into mobile telephones means creating a new way of interacting with customers through their mobile phones. Given the complexity of the business whether in controlling production, in distribution, in after-sales service, or in setting up the services platform it could be difficult for many of these brands to enter the market for mobile telephones by themselves. As with many other products, such as eyeglasses and perfume, they will need a trusted partner working under license to bring the new offering to the market. Design: A telephone is sold in off position The design of the telephone is a key factor in differentiating one product from another at the moment of sale. Telephones are generally sold in off position, particularly since technical features are becoming standardized. User interface: Accessing a service without having to press a key ten times New applications and access to a large number of new services make using a mobile telephone an increasingly complex operation. The result is that consumers only use services if they can access them easily. The "One-Click" facility, making it possible to access a service by one touch of a key, is at the heart of service use. Some operators, such as Vodafone with Vodafone Live! or Orange with Orange Signature, are particularly involved in specifying the user interface in order to encourage consumption of services. The Company believes that the capacity to create user interfaces that are simple, specific, and customized is a key factor in differentiating ModeLabs Groups offering and encouraging the use of its services.

verifying that the accounting, financial and management information transmitted to the corporate bodies reflect the operations and the condition of the Group and is not misleading.
The internal control process results from the preliminary identification and evaluation of internal and external risks likely to impact the realization of the Groups objectives. Departments involved in the Groups internal control The Groups internal control is managed by the three following departments: Supervisory board
The supervisory board receives data relating to the groups business and profitability on a regular basis as well as information on all the major events and projects that could have material consequences for the Group. In addition to its legal role, its main role is to define and monitor development projects and to ensure their consistency with the Groups strategy. Finally, the board has created specialized committees on selected topics including, with respect to the Audit committee, on the Groups accounting and financial policy and the selection of the Groups independent auditors. Executive committee
The executive committee is responsible for defining the Groups policies in order to implement the strategy it has decided with the supervisory board, including the definition and implementation of the Groups internal control policy. By way of example, it has instituted the project management system in place for development activities and has initiated the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer and a Controller in 2005, in order to improve internal control procedures. Finance department
As a member of the Executive committee, the CFO is responsible for implementing the internal control system. The finance department organizes and coordinates appropriate controls necessary to ensure that financial information be reliable and readily available. Exercise of internal control The procedures of internal control are organized around the principal procedures of the Company which are: Project development The procedures relating to project follow-up and investment decision are described in paragraph 6.6 and are controlled by the management committee. Purchase of products Purchases are handled by the sourcing department, which is dedicated and the only department authorized to place purchase orders. The analysis of the proposals relating to purchases is made automatically from an operations system which takes into account the features of the products. The logistics department handles reception of products. The procedure relating to payment of purchase prices is controlled by the department of supplier accounting.
Inventory The computer assisted management system is an integrated system which results in a just-in-time inventory system. Reception of products and sales of products are reflected automatically in the inventory. Inventory is simultaneously controlled by periodical inventories and exhaustive inventories carried out once a year.

Gross margin is presented by segment. The definition of gross margin is provided under Note 4.3 Operating profit. The Group determined that it would not be pertinent to provide segment information on operating profit, in consideration of the recent launches of certain product lines.

- the attribution of shares to employees and to the directors and executive officers of the Company and/or to the Group pursuant to article L. 225-180 I of the Commercial Code and within the framework of the provisions of articles L. 225-177 and following of the Commercial Code pursuant to adoption of the eleventh resolution; - the attribution of shares to employees and, as the case may be, to the directors and executive officers of the Company enabling them to participate in the growth of the Company and the implementation of the company savings plan, under conditions provided by law and, in particular, within the framework of the provisions in articles L. 443-1 and following of the Employment Code; - the transfer of the shares of the Company in the event of exercise of rights giving access in any way whatsoever to the equity capital of the Company; - the cancellation of shares by way of a reduction in equity capital, under the condition precedent of the adoption of the seventh resolution which will be placed before the present assembly. The acquisition, transfer or exchange of the shares may be carried out by any means on the market or over the trade counter, including block purchase or transfer, or by way of equity warrants or financial instruments giving access to the shares of the Company pursuant to the conditions set forth by the Autorit des marchs financiers and as may be set forth from time to time by the management board or by persons acting under its delegation. The maximum purchase price per instrument is set at 30% above the weighted average volume (in the central order book and not a block trade or a market order) of the price of the shares of the Company on Eurolist of Euronext Paris for a period of 30 trading days beginning on the first day of quotation, and the minimum sale price per instrument is fixed at 10% below the weighted average volume (in the central order book and not a block trade or a market order) of the price of the shares of the Company on Eurolist of Euronext Paris for 30 trading days beginning from the first day of quotation. In the event of transactions on the equity capital of the Company, the prices above will be adjusted by applying a multiplying coefficient which will be equal to the ratio between the number of shares comprised in the equity share capital prior to the transaction and the number of shares comprised in the equity capital following the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case options described in the fifth paragraph of article L. 225-209 of the Commercial Code are employed, the rules relating to the selling price will be fixed in accordance with the legal provisions in force. The present authorisation is given for a maximum period of 18 months as of the date of the present general assembly, i.e., up to 22 May 2007. The general assembly also confers all powers to the management board, with the power to sub-delegate, within the conditions provided by law, to transmit all stock exchange orders, conclude all agreements with a view particularly to upkeep registers on the sale and purchase of shares, to establish all documents particularly with respect to information, carry out all declarations and formalities with the Autorit des marchs financiers and all other organisations, and generally, to do all that it deems necessary".
