    A high operating margin of 33% despite marketing expenses increase

    During the second semester, LeGuide.com accelerated its audience acquisition
    plan involving an increase of marketing expenses. Including these increased
    investments, the group generated a high operating margin of 33%.

    Net income impacted by an exceptional goodwill depreciation of dooyoo

    Within this new competitive context that has deeply modified the European market
    of shopping guides, LeGuide.com decided to proceed to an exceptional goodwill
    depreciation of its dooyoo subsidiary amounting to EUR 4.5M.

    Cash flow from operations was EUR 7M in 2011, and net cash position on December
    31(st) was
    EUR 32.1M.  At year end, LeGuide.com posted a robust balance sheet with EUR 35.7M in
    equity and a limited financial debt of EUR 2.7M.


    Perspectives: The new market environment as an opportunity for LeGuide.com to
    become leader in Europe.

    In a deeply modified market, size becomes a major asset to develop audience and
    gain market share. Therefore, LeGuide.com accelerates its strategy in order to
    become a European market leader.

    The audience acquisition strategy involving an increase of marketing investments
    will be pursued throughout 2012. In January 2012, LeGuide.com reaches 16.8
    million Unique Visitors*, an increase of 18% compared to January 2011.

    Besides, LeGuide.com has announced the signature of a purchase agreement for the
    acquisition of the online shopping guide Ciao. With this operation, still
    subject to legal precedent conditions, LeGuide.com would become the first(
    )online shopping guide in Europe reaching an unduplicated audience of 31.8
    Million Unique Visitors. In addition to critical size, LeGuide.com would also
    leverage different synergies in order to attract more Internet users and e-
    merchants and become the European market leader
