1) Basis of presentation and accounting policies
The group's consolidated financial statements are prepared, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in France. They differ from those generally accepted in United States of America in the presentation of the statement of income, in the computation and presentation of the operating expenses, the application of FAS 133, of FAS 142 and of EITF-93-16.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Group's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Prior to December 10, 2002, the Group had no significant operations of its own. On December 10, 2002, the Group, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired Legrand SA, whose activities now comprise 100% of the operations of the Group.

Finished goods | 250 | 0 | ||
483 | 0 | |||
Less: allowances | (65 | ) | 0 | |
418 | 0 | |||
As regards finished goods, the major part of the decrease is due to the reversal of the valuation of inventory at fair market value at the acquisition date of Legrand, representing € 125 million at the end of December 2002 and 0 at the end of June 2003.

- a)
- Application of FAS 142
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 141 and 142. These Statements establish new accounting and reporting standards for goodwills and other non amortized intangible assets and in particular, supersede their amortization by an impairment test.
Pursuant to this statement, the group reversed the amortization expenses of goodwills registered under French GAAP (€ 21 million).
- b)
- Application of EITF 93-16
In 2001, the Italian subsidiaries revalued their assets, in compliance with the Italian law no 342 and the decree no162 (April 13, 2001), retroactively applicable from January 1st, 2000. According to EITF 93-16, the tax to be paid in case of distribution of the revalued amount has to be provided for.

- c)
- Derivative financial instruments
LEGRAND entered into three subordinated securities contracts in 1990 and 1992. In addition, these subordinated securities are hedged by three interest rate swaps. Under French GAAP, these instruments are accounted for as hedges of debt. Under US GAAP, these instruments are recorded at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded to profit and loss.
- d)
- Presentation of the statement of income
To comply with US GAAP, "other expenses" such as restructuring ones are classified as non-operating expenses under French Gaap are requested to be included in the operating income under US Gaap.

1) Basis of presentation and accounting policies
The group's consolidated financial statements are prepared, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in France. They differ from those generally accepted in United States of America in the presentation of the statement of income, in the computation and presentation of the operating expenses, the application of FAS 133, of FAS 142 and of EITF-93-16.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Group's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2003, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Prior to December 10, 2002, the Group had no significant operations of its own. On December 10, 2002 Fimaf acquired Legrand SA, whose activities now comprise 100% of the operations of the Group.
