30th June, 2009 interim results : 20% growth in turnover and return to
profitability

Cybernetix returns to profitability

30th June, 2009 : Cybernetix group accounts show a EUR 180 thousand positive 
net income. This recovery marks a real reversal compared to previous fiscal 
periods and validates the redeployment strategy of the company activities on 
Energy sectors for the past 3 years.

On the 1st half, consolidated turnover rose by 20%, even though the Group is
penalized by its Industry branch CyXplus, whose activity is down 50%. At the
same time, gross margin and EBITDA margin are rapidly improving and are close 
to normative levels, according to the business plan set by the management.

At the end of June 2009, the backlog is 80% higher than in June 2008. Taking
into account the latest contracts signed, the management expects an annual
growth in turnover by around 20% and a return to profitability.

Industry Division has been transferred to the newly created subsidiary CyXplus
from January 1st, 2009, without any impact on the consolidated perimeter.
Segment reporting has changed: Defence activities, formerly grouped with
Industry, are from 2009 accounted as an autonomous segment.
EBITDA margin is related to the operating income before depreciation of R&D
expenses and Group administrative expenses.

Energy activities show a major improvement in profitability

Energy activities show an increase in sales over 60%, while the EBITDA margin
improved steadily compared to H1 2008. This positive performance is a
combination of several factors:

• Cybernetix has developed over the past three years a full range of products
  and services in deep offshore Asset Integrity Monitoring. These products 
  allow Cybernetix to track changes in underwater structures, to reduce 
  maintenance costs and to better integrate environmental stress. The solutions
  are perfectly adapted to the current needs of major oil companies.

• The production equipment dedicated to offshore seismic exploration continues
  to rise according to the manufacturing plan.

• In H1 2009, Nuclear activities focused on new contracts, consisting
  primarily of engineering services. Thus, the product mix is different from 
  the H1 2008, where the activity consisted mainly in the production of 
  equipment related to previous unprofitable contracts.

• Defence activities achieved a turnover complying with the production
  scheduling of contracts. 

CyXplus reaches EBITDA breakeven

CyXplus subsidiary now includes all activities of the Industry Division. Sales
were divided by 2 compared to H1 2008, heavily penalized by the difficulties of
key accounts in both Pharmacy and Tyre sectors. However, due to the
restructuring steps taken as of 2008, which resulted in the reduction of
workforce by over 30% and the spin-off of Industry, CyXplus manages to reach
breakeven point in the first half.

While economic conditions deterioration has stopped, the medium-term visibility
remains limited. On the basis of orders signed up to June 30th, the target for
the second semester is to maintain such break-even point. In the meantime, the
Group keeps on searching partners for CyXplus.

The Group 's financial position is secured

June 30th, 2009, net financial debt represents 13% of equity, and cash flow
shows a 1.6 million EUR profit. The capital increase by 4 million EUR,
underwritten by Sercel (CGG Veritas Group) earlier this year, helped to secure
the Group's financial position. Cybernetix is not exposed to fluctuation risks
in interest rates or exchange.

Recovery should be confirmed by the end of 2009

At end of June 2009, the backlog is 80% higher than its level of June 2008. It
includes new projects in the Oil & Gas activities, an increase in production of
seismic equipment and good perspectives as regards Nuclear activity.

Concerning CyXplus, the backlog for H2 2009 shows an increase in business 
volume compared to H1 2009.

Given these prospects of sustained activity, the management trusts a full-year
growth in turnover around 20% and a return to profitability.
