*Non-audited figures

To recap over the first six months of 2007, Business & Decision recorded a turnover of €93.6 million, a growth of more than 42%, 30% of which was achieved organically, excluding currency fluctuations and changes linked to the dollar. These figures have been audited by statutory auditors.

Patrick Bensabat, Business & Decision Chairman, comments: "These half-year results confirm the dynamism of the Group's areas of expertise, notably on an international scale. Moreover, this outstanding progression justifies our strategic business choices and highlights the quality of the service delivered by our teams. For the 2007 year, we have raised our annual objective up to €205 M."

Strong progression across Group activities

This six-month period has seen the Group strengthen its leadership position on the Business Intelligence market (64% of turnover), with a growth of 57% on the same period in 2006.

Customer Relationship Management is still gaining ground and represents 19% of the turnover, a growth figure exceeding 42% for the half-year.

Accounting for the strongest growth (+61%), e-Business represents 17% of the half-year turnover.

Soaring business activities at the international level over the half-year

Business & Decision's growth strategy is based on the dynamism of its offers, the development of new offers and the replication of the Business & Decision model internationally.

This promising strategy has enabled the Group's international activity to expand rapidly; with +80% growth achieved during the first six months of 2007. Thanks to these results, Business & Decision acquired more than 50% of its turnover internationally, one year ahead of target.

A proven growth strategy

The Business & Decision Group aims at increasing its leadership and market share in important geographical regions that have high customer potential, such as France, the United-States and Great Britain.

At the same time, Business & Decision continues to deploy its model throughout Europe, notably with the opening of offices in Russia and Germany, and the strengthening of its presence in Switzerland.

The offshore facilities in India (New Delhi), Morocco and Romania have also been reinforced.

Thanks to the Group's size and its unique business model, Business & Decision is capable of leveraging growth differentiators such as:

-         A dedicated management consulting structure

-         A BI and CRM service center offer

-         The capacity to handle very big strategic projects

Business & Decision continues to recruit

With a headcount growth exceeding 38% over the first six-month period, the Business & Decision Group, at end of September, accounts for over 2,500 employees across Europe, North Africa, Asia and North America. With the Group's outstanding results and substantial customer portfolio, Business & Decision plans on recruiting 800 new employees during the forthcoming 12 months in order to facilitate the expansion of its business activities.

The Group's employee turnover, at only 6%, is tantamount to a unique human model. This specific model is one of the factors underlying Business & Decision's ability to maintain its growth levels, whilst improving its standards of quality and client service.
