2009 first-half results 

Consolidated net sales declined 20.3% in the first six months, in line with 
the overall trend for the building sector in Europe.

Reflecting the drop in sales in the period, current operating income declined 
to EUR1.96 million, down from EUR8.7 million in the 2008 first half. In the 
first six months of 2009, SECURIDEV continued to implement its plan to adapt 
costs to market conditions launched in the second half of the previous year.

The operating loss of EUR0.83 million includes the impact of additional
impairment charges of EUR1.2 million for fixed assets.

Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent represented a loss of
EUR0.46 million. At 30 June 2009, the Group's financial structure remained 
solid with positive net.

Outlook

Near-term visibility remains limited. For the full year, the Group expects at
best to limit the decline in sales in relation to 2008 to 15%.
