HEURTEY PETROCHEM 2014 | ANNUAL REPORT |
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
For Heurtey Petrochem, 2014 was
a highly successful year, with a sharp
increase in earnings, substantial
strengthening of our financial
resources due to our capital increase
and the full consolidation of our gas
subsidiary.
Our 2014 revenue, which increased
by 9%, amounted to €437 million.
Our current operating income posted
a 25% increase and came out
to €20.7 million, significantly up
for both our businesses.
Group net income increased by 57%
to €9.2 million.
opening a factory in India
in addition to our Romanian
manufacturing facility.
This additional factory, which
provides us with a major
competitive advantage in markets
in India and the Middle East,
is already at full capacity.
n strengthening Prosernat’s
technological portfolio with
the acquisition of SmartSulfTM,
an advanced sulphur recovery
technology.
n In the first half, we launched a capital
increase to enhance our financial
flexibility and to have the resources
to continue the Group’s development,
particularly in gas. This transaction
was very successful, as it was
oversubscribed by 1.5, and raised
€35.3 million.
In a sluggish market, impacted by
the drop in oil prices and the decline
of investments by oil companies, we
succeeded in maintaining our order
book at over €500 million, due notably
to sales growth in our gas business.
We also saw considerable success in
the Middle East, with our furnaces
business making a significant
breakthrough in this market.
Following this transaction,
we took full control of Prosernat,
our subsidiary specialising in gas,
in which IFP Investissements had until
that point held a 40% stake.
For 2015, despite the low visibility
in the market, we are confident
in our ability to stand firm by relying
on both our order backlog and the
resilience of our model.
We continued our selective
investment policy by:
The complementary nature of our two
businesses, the flexibility provided by
our international network,
our expertise in executing projects
and our strong financial position
are all assets on which the Group
will continue to capitalise.
We have a clear strategy. In order
to bolster our positions, we will
maintain our selective investment
policy and continue to actively work
to improve our competitiveness, while
maintaining a selective approach
when responding to calls for tender.
We are convinced that the Group
is now well-equipped to face the new
market context and take advantage
of new opportunities that arise.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

THREE QUESTIONS
FOR JACQUES MOULIN,
COO
In 2014, you launched
a new production facility in India.
What prompted that decision?
Our production facility in Buzau,
Romania, which has a production
capacity of 4,000 tonnes per year,
had previously only manufactured
furnace equipment.
> PETROCHEMICALS
We expanded its scope of operations
to gas processing modules, and today
its operations are shared evenly among
gas and furnaces. We therefore needed
an increased production capacity.
This new production facility also serves
as a real driver of our competitiveness
and constitutes a major strategic asset
for reaching the markets in India and the
Middle East. Our Indian production facility
is already operating at full capacity.
> HYDROGEN
Do you have a strong presence
in the Middle East?
What are the most dynamic
markets in 2015?
It’s a very promising region at the
present moment, where a number
of very large projects are concentrated.
Though we hadn’t been very active
in the Middle East historically,
we made significant inroads in 2014
with the signing of a several contracts
totalling over €50 million as part
of a major refining project in Kuwait.
In addition to the Middle East,
we believe that the United States
will remain an active market, particularly
for petrochemicals and gas liquefaction.
We also anticipate a recovery in the Asian
market, particularly in India.
We have a major asset in our international
network, which gives us the flexibility
to target the market wherever it may be.

THREE QUESTIONS FOR
JÉRÔME ILLOUZ,
CHAIRMAN AND CEO
OF PROSERNAT
In 2014, you acquired
SmartSulf TM technology.
What prompted this acquisition?
> MEG RECLAIMING
SmartSulfTM is an innovative
technology in the area
of sulphur recovery.
We had already been active
on this market, but this acquisition
reinforces our position through
one of the most advanced, efficient
and cost-effective processes
available. SmartSulfTM has seen
excellent feedback from the units
currently in operation.
> SULPHUR RECOVERY
What role does technology play
in your operations?
Technology is truly at the heart
of Prosernat’s growth because it is
critical for access to the gas processing
market. Today, we have a comprehensive
portfolio of technologies which we are
continuously developing.
In 2013, we developed a new area
of expertise through the acquisition
of an MEG reclaiming technology.
What is MEG reclaiming,
and do you already have projects
underway?
The reclaiming of MEG (monoethylene
glycol) is an important undertaking
for the gas industry because MEG
is used intensively to inhibit the formation
of hydrates, particularly in deep-sea
offshore projects. We have already signed
our first contract with ENI Group
for an offshore project in Indonesia.

KEY EVENTS
FOR THE YEAR
MAY
CAPITAL INCREASE In May 2014, the Group successfully
launched a capital increase with
preferential subscription rights
maintained. Subscribed 1.5 times,
the operation resulted in the creation
of 1,356,834 new shares at a unit
price of €26, generating gross
proceeds of €35.3 million. Following
this operation, the company’s share
capital amounted to 4,896,402 shares
with a par value of €3.34 per share.
The purpose of this capital increase
was to strengthen the Group’s
financial flexibility and to provide
it with the resources to continue
its development, particularly
in gas processing.
JUNE
ACQUISITION
OF 100% OF PROSERNAT
Prosernat, a subsidiary of Heurtey
Petrochem specialised in natural gas,
had been 60%-owned by the Group
since 2011. On 4 June 2014,
Heurtey Petrochem acquired
the remaining 40% of Prosernat’s
shares, held by IFP Investissements,
for €13.3 million.
The Group also acquired 100%
of Prosernat’s subsidiary in Malaysia.
Prosernat is now 100%
Group-owned.

FIRST MEG RECLAIMING
CONTRACT MARKET BREAKTHROUGH
IN THE MIDDLE EAST In 2013, Prosernat had acquired
a technology for the reclaiming of MEG
(monoethylene glycol). MEG reclaiming
is an important undertaking for the gas
industry because MEG is used intensively
to inhibit the formation of hydrates,
particularly in deep-sea offshore projects.
In December 2014, Heurtey Petrochem
announced the signing of several
contracts in the Middle East,
totalling €54 million, as part
of a major refining project in Kuwait
called the Clean Fuel Project.
These contracts concern the provision
of 24 refining furnaces and one
hydrogen reformer, to be delivered
in the course of 2016.
In 2014, the Group signed its first contract
for MEG reclaiming as part of an offshore
project in Indonesia for ENI Group.
The contract’s value was €11 million.
SEPTEMBER
COMMISSIONING OF A
MANUFACTURING UNIT IN INDIA
The Group commissioned a manufacturing
unit in India to complement the
operations of its production facility
in Buzau, Romania. Situated in the state
of Gujarat, an industrial hub with strong
infrastructure, this 40,000 m2 facility
employs approximately 200 people
and has an annual production capacity
of 3,000 tonnes.
This manufacturing unit represents
a major competitive strength for
the Group in terms of quality,
process and timeline management.
A major strategic asset for reaching
the Indian and Middle Eastern markets,
this facility is already operating at full
capacity with the Jamnagar 3 project in
India and the Clean Fuel Project in Kuwait.
OCTOBER
ACQUISITION OF SMARTSULFTM,
A SULPHUR RECOVERY
TECHNOLOGY In October 2014, Prosernat acquired
100% of ITS Reaktortechnik GmbH.
Through this acquisition, Prosernat
became the owner of the SmartSulf™
sulphur recovery technology.
This technology, which has already
seen a number of commercial
successes, constitutes a major
technological advance in this industry,
as it enables a high rate of sulphur
recovery with a reduced quantity
of equipment.
Through this transaction,
Prosernat reinforced its position
on the rapidly-expanding sulphur
recovery market and enhanced
its portfolio with one of the industry’s
most efficient and cost-effective
technologies.
These contracts mark
Heurtey Petrochem’s market
breakthrough in the Middle East,
a region which accounted for 16%
of the Group’s order book at 31
December 2014 compared to only
3% one year earlier.

area was very restricted, daily conveys
had to travel at night to transport
modules from the yard to the site,
and there was reduced visibility
between the lifting crane

n 04.3
The Group is assessing the impacts
of these new standards.
3.2. VALUATION METHODS
AND RULES
3.2.1. Consolidation methods
The subsidiaries’ financial statements
are prepared over the same reference
period as the parent company’s financial
statements, on the basis of uniform
accounting methods.
All intragroup balances and transactions,
as well as the income, expenses and profit
included in the net book value of the
assets resulting from internal transactions,
are eliminated.
All companies in which the Group directly
or indirectly exercises control are
consolidated using the full consolidation
method. Control exists whenever the Group
is exposed or entitled to variable returns
as a result of its connections with the
entity that is being invested in, and
whenever it has the capacity to influence
these returns due to the power it holds
over that entity.
All Group entities over which the parent
company exercises joint control
are consolidated using the equity method.
Joint control in a partnership occurs
only if the decisions on the relevant
activities require the unanimous consent
of all the parties that control
the agreement jointly.
Associates are entities in which
the Group exercises notable influence.
Associates are consolidated using
the equity method.
3.2.2. Conversion Methods
Conversion of foreign companies’
financial statements
The functional currency of a consolidated
entity is the currency of the basic
economic environment in which this entity
conducts its transactions. In the majority
of cases, the functional currency is the
local currency. However, a functional
currency other than the local currency
must be used for some entities
if it represents the currency
of the principal transactions carried
out by the entity and ensures a
faithful representation of its economic
environment.
The financial statements of foreign
entities whose functional currency
is different from the currency in which
the Group’s consolidated financial
statements are presented are converted
using the so-called «closing price»
method.
Under this method, balance sheet items
are translated based on the foreign
exchange rate at year-end. Profit and loss
statement items are translated based
on the average exchange rate for the year.
The resulting translation adjustments
are recognized directly in other
comprehensive income items under
the heading «Translation adjustments».
Goodwill relating to foreign entities whose
functional currency is not the euro is
considered to belong to existing assets
and liabilities and, as such, is converted
at the foreign exchange rate in force
on the closing date.
Transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are
converted into euros at the exchange
rate in force on the transaction date,
or at the hedged rate.
At the financial year end, unhedged
financial assets and monetary liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies
are converted to euros at the year-end
exchange rate. The resulting exchange
gains and losses are booked as foreign
exchange gains and losses and presented
as «Other financial income and expenses»
in the profit and loss statement.
To reduce the risk arising from currency
fluctuations, the Group uses currency
hedging contracts.
Derivatives are valued and booked in
keeping with the general principles
described in Note 3.2.14. Consequently,
currency derivatives are booked on the
balance sheet at their fair value.
3.2.3. Significant estimates
and accounting judgements
In the course of preparing the financial
statements, the Group may perform
estimates and form assumptions that
affect the evaluation and presentation
of certain assets and liabilities, information
disclosed on contingent liabilities
on the closing date and income
and expenses for the period.
These estimates are based on the
information available on the year-end
closing date. They may change according
to events or information that affect
the circumstances in which the estimates
were developed and, where applicable,
a sensitivity test may be performed
if it is significant. Thus, real income
may be different from these estimates.
Owing to the uncertainty of such
estimates and assumptions,
the settlement of underlying transactions
may result in a significant adjustment
to the amounts recognized during
a subsequent period.
The use of judgements and estimates
is particularly important for the following:
n recoverable value of non-financial
assets, specifically goodwill see Note 3.2.7,
n f air value of derivatives see Note 3.2.14,
n provisions – see Note 3.2.15,
n deferred tax assets - see Note 3.2.19,
n recognition of construction contracts
(particularly estimating the margin
at completion) - see Note 3.2.22.
3.2.4. Business combinations
and goodwill
The assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities acquired in the context
of business combinations are recorded
and measured at fair value.
Goodwill, which is measured as the
difference between the consideration
transferred (acquisition cost plus the fair
value of the proportion previously held
and the value of interest attributable
to non-controlling holdings)
and the fair-value measurement
of the identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and contingent
liabilities identified, is recognized under
«Goodwill» in the Statement of Financial
Position.
For each business combination, the Group
may opt to recognize the non-vested
portion of the interest (non-controlling
holdings):
Either at fair value on the acquisition
date with, consequently, the recognition
of goodwill on that non-vested portion
(the full goodwill method),
n O r on the basis of its share of the net
identifiable assets of the acquired
entity measured at fair value,
which results in the recognition of only
the goodwill attributable to owners
of the parent company (the partial
goodwill method).
n Direct costs of the acquisition are recorded
as expenses in the period during which
they are incurred.
During the allocation period - limited
to twelve months from the acquisition
date - changes in the value of the
identifiable assets acquired, liabilities
assumed and contingent liabilities relating
to booked acquisitions are recorded
as a retroactive adjustment to goodwill.
After this allocation deadline, changes
to the estimated value of the identifiable
assets acquired, liabilities assumed
and contingent liabilities are recorded
as income, with no adjustment
to goodwill.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating
units (CGU) or groups of CGU, defined
by the Group within the operating
segments (Heaters and Gas) as presented
in Note 4.1.
A cash-generating unit is defined,
for internal management purposes,
as the smallest identifiable group
of assets generating cash inflows largely
independently of the cash inflows
generated by other groups of assets.
3.2.5. Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are valued using
the amortized cost method as long as
future economic benefits attributable
to the asset will go to the Group
and that cost can be reliably evaluated.
3.2.5.1. Research & development
expenses
Research & development expenses
incurred when new programs are designed
are booked as assets in the statement
of financial position when the following
six general criteria are met:
the completion of the intangible fixed
asset is technically feasible so that
it may be used or sold;
n t here is intent to complete production
of the asset to use or sell it;
n t he asset produced can be used or sold;
n t he asset is able to generate future
economic benefits;
n t he technical, financial or other resources
required to successfully complete
the project are or will be available;
n t he expenses for this asset during
its development phase can be reliably
measured.
n These development costs include
the gross wages and payroll expenses
for the employees who work on these
programs and are calculated on the basis
of their time plus a proportion
of indirect costs. The costs related
to service providers involved in these
projects are also recognized. Finally,
the proportion of Research Tax Credits
relative to development costs is deducted
from the amount of the projects activated,
see Note 3.2.18.
Amortization begins as soon as
the development project is finalized.

The useful life of these development
costs is estimated according to each
project, and the equipment is amortized
on a straight-line basis over a fiveto ten-year period.
Residual values and useful lives
are reviewed at each closing date
and revised if need be.
Development costs that do not meet
the activation criteria and research
costs are booked as expenses under
«Administrative and commercial
expenses» over the course of the financial
year in which they are incurred.
3.2.5.2. Patents and software
Software is valued at its acquisition
cost (purchase price plus ancillary costs).
Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method over
a three-year period.
Patents are amortized over the legal
protection period.
3.2.6. Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are recognized
at their acquisition cost (purchase price
plus ancillary costs) or their production
cost for certain tangible fixed assets
produced internally.
Depreciation is calculated using
the straight-line method, based on each
fixed asset’s expected useful life.

3.2.7. Impairment losses
on intangible or tangible fixed
assets or goodwill
The book value of non-current
non-financial assets is revised
at every closing date to identify
any impairment losses:
For goodwill: at every closing date,
or more frequently if there are
any impairment loss indicators;
n For all other assets: as soon as there
are any impairment loss indicators.
n External indicators are used as impairment
loss indicators likely to trigger an
impairment test (market value, significant
changes in the business environment,
trend in the commercial success of a
product, technology trends, etc.)
With regard to goodwill, impairment testing
is done for the cash-generating unit(s)
to which the goodwill has been allocated
by comparing the recoverable value with
the book value of the cash-generating
units.
The recoverable value of a cash-generating
unit is the higher of the fair value
(generally the market price), net of disposal
costs, and the useful value.
The useful value is assessed by
discounting the after-tax future financial
flows generated on activities to which
the goodwill is allocated, based on the
most likely assumptions applied
by Management.
The assumptions selected are based
on budgets and «business plans»
for each activity, prepared by Management.
Budgets are approved by the Board
of Directors. Other assumptions
that influence the assessment
of the recoverable value are: growth rate,
operating margin, discount rate
and tax rate.
Like any estimate, the assumptions
used for these calculations include
a degree of uncertainty and are, therefore,
liable to be adjusted in subsequent periods.
The detailed assumptions applied
are presented in Note 4.1.1.
If the book value of the cash-generating
unit exceeds the recoverable value,
the assets of the cash-generating
unit are depreciated to be restored
to their recoverable value.
The impairment loss is charged to goodwill
first and recorded in the profit and loss
statement. It cannot be recovered.
It is booked as other operating expenses.
3.2.8. Financial assets
Financial assets include available-for-sale
assets, held-to-maturity assets, loans
and receivables, and cash and cash
equivalents.
The valuation and accounting of financial
assets and liabilities are defined by IAS 39,
«Financial Instruments: Recognition
and Measurement».
3.2.8.1. Assets available for sale
Available-for-sale assets mainly include
securities that do not meet the definition
of other financial asset categories.
They are measured at fair value,
and changes in value are booked in equity.
Fair value is the market price for listed
securities or an estimate of useful value
for unlisted securities, determined using
the most appropriate financial criteria
for each security’s particular situation.
When there is an objective indication
of these securities’ impairment, the total
loss that is booked as equity is recognized
as income.
3.2.8.2. Assets held to maturity
These assets are fixed-income securities
or those that can be determined
at fixed maturities, other than loans
and receivables, which the company
has the intent and ability to hold until
maturity. After their initial recognition
at fair value, they are evaluated and
recognized at the amortized cost using
the effective interest rate method (EIR).
Held-to-maturity assets are assessed
for any objective evidence of impairment.
A financial asset is impaired if its book
value is higher than its recoverable value
estimated during impairment testing.
Impairment losses are booked in the profit
and loss statement.
3.2.8.3. Loans and Receivables
This category includes receivables held on
joint ventures, other loans and receivables,
and trade receivables.
These instruments are initially recognized
at fair value then at amortized cost
calculated using the EIR. Short-term
receivables without declared interest rates
are valued at the amount of the original
invoice unless the application of an implied
interest rate has a significant impact.
For variable-rate loans and receivables,
a periodic re-estimate of cash flows
to reflect the trend in market interest
rates, adjusts the actual interest rate
and, consequently, the valuation
of the loan or receivable.
Loans and receivables are assessed
for any objective evidence of impairment.
A financial asset is impaired if its book
value is higher than its recoverable value
estimated during impairment testing.
Impairment losses are booked in the profit
and loss statement.
Loans and receivables also include deposits
and guarantees, posted as non-current
financial assets on the balance sheet.
3.2.8.4. Assets held for trading
at fair value by the profit and loss
statement
Held-for-trading assets include assets
that the company intends to sell
in the near future to realize a capital gain,
that belong to a portfolio of financial
instruments managed together,
and for which there is a practice of shortterm disposal. Held-for-trading assets can
also include assets voluntarily classified
in that category, regardless of the criteria
listed above (fair value option).
3.2.9. Leases
Operating Leases
Payments made for operating leases
are booked as expenses in the profit
and loss statement, on a straight-line basis
throughout the contract period.
Rental income is recognized as profit using
the straight-line method.
Finance Leases
Finance leases are contracts that have
the effect of transferring to the lessee
most of the risks and benefits inherent
in the ownership of the property subject
to the contract. In such cases, the
property thus financed appears under
assets on the balance sheet at the lower
of the fair value of the asset
or the discounted value of the minimum
payments. They are amortized over
their probable useful life,
the corresponding debt is entered
as a liability, and the finance lease
payments are recognized as loan
repayments and financial expenses.
3.2.10. Inventories and work
in progress (excluding construction
contracts)
Inventories and works in progress
(industrial output) are valued at their
lowest cost and net realizable value.
This cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method and includes the costs
of merchandise and direct labor as well
as a share of indirect production costs.
The gross value of inventories and supplies
includes the purchase price, customs
duties, and other fees, as well as handling
and shipping costs, and other costs directly
attributable to the acquisitions.
A provision for impairment is made
on a case-by-case basis when the
useful value is less than the book value;
specifically, when inventories are booked
at a higher amount than the company
expects to get from their sale or use.
The cost of inventories may also not
be recoverable if those inventories have
been damaged, or become fully or partially
obsolete, or if their sale price has suffered
a loss.
3.2.11. Cash and cash equivalents
The amount shown on the assets side
of the balance sheet as «Cash and cash
equivalents» includes cash at bank
as well as cash equivalents (highly liquid
short-term investments which can easily
be converted into known amounts
of cash and are subject to a negligible
risk of a change in value).
Short-term investments are measured
at the market value at each closing date.
Investments in listed securities,
investments with initial maturities
of more than three months without
the possibility of early completion
and bank accounts subject to restrictions
(blocked accounts), are not presented
as cash or cash equivalents and are
classified as other current or non-current
financial assets.
Overdrafts are included as loans
on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.
For the purposes of the consolidated cash
flow table, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and cash equivalents
as defined above, net of overdrafts.
3.2.12. Treasury shares
Shares held by the Group are deducted
from equity using their acquisition cost.
Any profits or losses from the purchase,
sale, issue or cancellation of treasury
shares are recognized directly as equity
without affecting income.
3.2.13. Valuation and recognition
of financial liabilities
3.2.13.1. Loans
All loans are initially booked
at fair value of the amount received,
net of directly-attributable transaction
costs. Subsequent to the initial
recognition, interest-bearing loans
are valued at their amortized cost,
using the effective interest rate
(EIR) method.
The EIR is the rate that equalizes
the expected future cash outflows
with the current net book value
of the financial liability in order
to calculate its amortized cost.

3.2.14. Derivatives
To hedge its exposure to market (mainly
interest rate and currency) risks, the Group
uses derivatives.
Most interest rate and currency derivatives
used by the Group are qualified
as hedge instruments. Hedge accounting
is applicable if the conditions set out
in IAS 39 are met:
the hedging relationship must be clearly
identified and documented as of the
date on which the hedge is put in place;
n the «efficacy» of the hedging
relationship must be demonstrated at
its origin and at each closing date, in a
forward- and backward-looking way.
n The fair value of the derivatives considered
hedges, with maturity of greater than
one year, is presented on the balance
sheet under «Derivatives» as non-current
or current assets or liabilities, depending
on the instrument’s maturity.
Financial instruments considered
hedges
Financial instruments that are considered
hedge instruments are automatically
recognized at fair value on the balance
sheet. However, their recognition depends
on whether they are qualified as:
Fair value hedges of an asset or liability,
or of an unrecognized firm commitment;
n Cash flow hedges;
n Hedges of a net investment made
in a foreign entity.
n Fair value hedging
Fair value hedging is used to hedge
exposure to the risk of changes in the fair
value of a financial asset, financial liability
or unrecognized firm commitment.
Changes in the fair value of the hedge
instrument are booked as income f
or the period in «Other financial income
and expenses». The change in value
of the hedged item that is attributable
to the hedged risk is booked in the profit
and loss statement for the period
(and adjusted to the value of the hedged
item). These two revaluations offset
each other within the same headings
of the profit and loss statement,
notwithstanding the amount of the
«ineffective» part of the hedge.
Cash flow hedges
With cash flow hedging, the changes
in value of future cash flows attached
to existing assets or liabilities,
or to a highly likely planned transaction,
are hedged. Changes in the fair value
of the derivative are recognized as equity
for the «effective» part of the hedge,
and as «Other financial income
and expenses» for the period
for the «ineffective» part.
Cumulative gains or losses in equity
are reported as income under the same
heading as the hedged item i.e. operating profit for operating cash
flow hedges and financial income
for the others - when the hedged cash
flow affects income.
If the hedging relationship is interrupted,
in cases where it becomes «ineffective»,
cumulative gains or losses on the
derivative are held in equity and recognized
symmetrically to the hedged cash flows.
If future cash flow is no longer expected,
gains and losses previously recognized
as equity are then reported in the profit
and loss statement.
Hedging a net investment
Hedging a net investment in foreign
currency hedges the currency risk
attached to net stake in a consolidated
foreign subsidiary. Like hedging the cash
flow, the «effective» portion of changes
in the value of the hedged instrument
are booked as equity under «Translation
adjustments», while the share of changes
in value that are considered «ineffective»
is taken to income.
Changes in the value of the hedge
instrument booked as «Translation
adjustments» are taken to income
on the disposal of the foreign entity
that was the object of the initial
investment.
Derivatives not considered hedges
Derivatives not considered as hedge
instruments are recognized
on the balance sheet at their fair value,
and the change in fair value is booked
as income under «Other financial income
and expenses».
3.2.15. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when,
on the closing date, the Group has a legal,
contractual or implied obligation toward
a third party resulting from a past
event, and it is likely that a withdrawal
of resources representing economic
benefits will be required to extinguish
the obligation without at least equivalent
compensation, and when the amount
of the obligation can be reliably
estimated.
If the Group is expecting full or partial
compensation for the provision, e.g.
because of an insurance contract,
the repayment is recognized as a separate
asset, but only if the repayment
is virtually certain.
Since provisions are estimated
on the basis of future risks or charges,
their amounts include a degree
of uncertainty and are liable
to be adjusted in later periods.
The impact of discounting provisions
is factored in if it is significant.
P rovisions for bonds related
to construction contracts
n Bonds related to on-going construction
contracts are factored into the valuation
of the margin at completion.
On the contract completion date,
these bonds are recognized as liabilities
as separate items, particularly those
that exist in the context of legal
and/or contractual guarantees regarding
the projects delivered.
Provisions for losses at completion
n Provisions for losses at completion include
losses created once the contract
is estimated to be or become a loss-maker.
These provisions are shown on the balance
sheet under «On-going construction
contracts (assets)» or «On-going
construction contracts (liabilities)».
Other provisions
n Other bonds are recognized as Provisions
if they meet the aforementioned criteria.
3.2.16. Provisions for pension
obligations and similar benefits
Depending on the country, the Group
participates in defined-contribution
pension plans and defined-benefit
pension plans.
For defined-contribution pension plans,
the Group pays contributions to an outside
organization and it is never committed
in excess of the contributions paid.
These are recognized as expenses only
when they are due. On the balance sheet,
debts relating to these plans are booked
under operating debt.
In both plans, the amount of benefits
that will be payable to employees
when they retire or for their pension
fund are paid either directly by the Group,
which provisions the costs of the benefits
to be served, or via pension funds
to which the Group contributes.
In both cases, the Group recognizes
a pension debt corresponding
to the current value of future payments
estimated on the basis of internal
and external parameters and rules
and regulations specific to each
of the Group’s entities.
The Group’s estimated obligations under
defined-benefit pension plans and benefits
payable upon retirement are calculated
annually by independent actuaries,
per IAS 19 Revised - «Employee Benefits»,
using the projected unit credit method.
Based on actuarial assumptions,
this method factors in the estimated years
of service at retirement, final wages,
life expectancy and staff turnover.
3.2.18. Prepayments, subsidies
and tax credits
The obligation is revised using an
appropriate discount for each country
where the commitments are located.
It is recorded prorata to employees’
length of service.
The Group enjoys a certain amount
of assistance in the form of subsidies
or repayable prepayments.
Changes to actuarial assumptions that
affect the valuation of the obligations,
as well as the difference between
the expected long-term yield on the
pension fund investments and the yield
actually obtained, are treated as actuarial
gains and losses and booked to equity
for the financial year.
The cost of services rendered, which
records the increase in obligations related
to the acquisition of one year of additional
seniority and the interest charge on
the obligation that reflects the accretion
of the obligations, is posted to the profit
and loss statement.
The expected long-term yield of pension
fund investments is subtracted from
those charges.
The effect of changes to plans
on the obligations of the Group’s
companies is generally recognized
on the profit and loss statement.
The cost of past services is immediately
recognized in income.
3.2.17. Share-based payment
transactions
Since its creation, the Company has set
up several compensation plans based on
equity instruments in the form of free
shares awarded to executives and some
employees in the Group.
Free share plans come under the scope
of IFRS 2, as share-based payments paid
out in equity instruments. These plans
are subject to performance terms. The free
shares are valued as at their grant date.
Fair values are amortized using the straight
line method over the vesting period for
the rights of the plan as employee expenses,
with the offsetting entry consisting
of an equivalent increase in equity.
Subsidies are recognized when there is
a reasonable assurance that:
the Group will meet the conditions
attached to the subsidies, and
n the subsidies will be received.
n A conditional non-repayable loan
is treated as a public subsidy if there
is a reasonable assurance that
the company will meet the conditions
for loan forgiveness. Otherwise,
it is classified as a debt and valued
at the amortized cost.
The difference between valuation
of the loan at the amortized cost
and its face value is recognized as subsidy
income and spread over the life
of the financed project, as per IAS 20.
A public subsidy receivable either
as compensation for expenses or losses
already incurred, or as immediate financial
support to the company without related
future costs, is recognized as income
for the financial year in which it becomes
receivable. Tax credits for inactivated
operating expenses are recognized
as operating income, subtracted from
the charges to which they relate.
Subsidies and tax credits related
to capitalized development expenses
are recognized as a deduction
from «intangible fixed assets» see Note 3.2.5.1.
3.2.19. Taxes
The Group determines its current taxes
by calculating them in compliance with tax
laws in force in the country in which
the income is taxable.
The current tax burden is calculated
on the basis of tax laws adopted
or virtually adopted at the balance sheet
date in those countries where the Group’s
subsidiaries do business and generate
taxable revenue.

Deferred taxes are determined using
the comprehensive liability method for:
all temporary differences between
the tax base and the accounting base
of the assets and liabilities, except
for goodwill;
n t ax loss carryforwards.
n Deferred tax assets are only recognized
if it is likely that the Group will have future
taxable profits to which they may
be charged.
To assess the Group’s ability to recover
these assets, the following is considered:
projected taxable profits;
history of taxable earnings from
previous years.
n n The CVAE is a contribution based
on the added value produced
by the French entities. The Group considers
that the added value on which the CVAE
is calculated is an intermediate aggregate
of net profit and therefore recognizes
the CVAE as an income tax.
3.2.20. Current liabilities
Current liabilities are the liabilities
that must be settled or negotiated
as part of the normal operating cycle
or in the twelve months following
the year-end closing.
3.2.21. Presentation of the Profit
and Loss Statement
The Group has opted for the presentation
of operating expenses by purpose.
The aggregates «Current operating
income», «Operating income», «Gross
cost of financial debt» and «Net cost of
financial debt» included in the statement
of net profit and gains and losses booked
directly as equity are presented in keeping
with the criteria set out by the ANC
(French accounting standards setter)
in its recommendation 2013-03.
The «Net cost of financial debt»
is equal to all financial expenses related
to the debt, less financial income
from cash investments.
Current operating income
Current operating income includes
all income and costs directly related
to the Group’s activities, except
for «Other operating income
and expenses».
3.2.22. Recognition of revenue
and associated costs
Revenue is composed of revenue
from construction contracts and from
the sale of goods and services provided
as part of the Group’s activities.
Other operating income
and expenses
Valuation and presentation methods
specific to construction contracts
Other operating income and expenses
are added to when a major event
that occurs during the accounting period
is likely to skew the reading of
the company’s performance.
The Heurtey Petrochem Group primarily
carries out long-term contracts
and recognizes the revenue and margins
on these contracts based on the physical
stage of completion for all contracts
in accordance with IAS 11 («Construction
Contracts»).
Therefore, it includes a very limited number
of unusual, abnormal and infrequent
income and expenses for especially
significant amounts.
Operating income
Operating income includes all income
and costs directly related to the Group’s
activities, whether the income and
expenses are recurring or result from
one-off decisions or transactions.
The physical stage of completion
of a contract is measured prorata to
its different phases. Each phase is then
weighted by the costs incurred in order to
determine the overall stage of completion.
Revenue at completion of a contract
includes:
the initial sale price;
the riders, claims, incentives
and amendments to the contract,
to the extent that they can be measured
reliably and as soon as they are accepted
by clients.
n n Operating income including the share
of net profit from equity-accounted
joint ventures
This income is obtained by taking
operating income including the share
of the equity-accounted joint venture’s
income as long as these are an extension
of the Group’s activity and belong to the
Group’s operating activity.
Consolidated net income is obtained
from operating income including the share
of net profit from equity-accounted joint
ventures, and factors in the following
elements:
n T he net cost of financial debt,
which is equal to all financial expenses
related to the debt, less financial
income from cash investments;
n I ncome from other financial income
and expenses, which primarily includes
foreign exchange gains and losses;
n C urrent and deferred taxes.
The estimated cost at completion
is essentially composed of:
purchases of material, and other services
required for the fulfilment of contracts;
n t he costs pertaining to employees
directly assigned to the contract,
including payroll costs;
n w here applicable, other costs specifically
billable to clients, as specified
in the contract clauses.
n The amount of revenue and expenses
provided for in respect of a contract
reflects Management’s best estimate of
future benefits and obligations expected
for this contract. The assumptions applied
in determining the current and future
obligations factor in the technological,
commercial and contractual constraints
as evaluated for each contract.
For loss-making projects, a provision
is booked in anticipation of the future loss
that will be incurred over the subsequent
year or years.
A provision for accrued warranty costs
is set aside for each construction project
in progress. The unused balance
of the provision is reversed at the end
of the warranty period.
For construction contracts, the cumulative
amount of costs incurred at each closing
date plus margins, minus bills issued
as well as any losses at completion,
is determined on a contract-by-contract
basis. If the amount is positive,
it is booked to assets under «On-going
construction contracts (assets)».
If it is negative, it is booked to liabilities
under «On-going construction contracts
(liabilities)».
number of ordinary shares in circulation
during the year. Diluted earnings per share
are obtained by dividing the net earnings
due to the Group’s shareholders, net
of the impact of the corresponding tax.
The number of shares used in calculating
diluted earnings includes the conversion
into shares of the dilutive instruments
in circulation that are likely to
be exercised at the year-end closing.
Own shares subtracted from equity
are not taken into account in calculating
basic and diluted earnings per share.
3.2.24. Segment reporting
The surplus of bills issued over payments
received appears as client receivables.
Pursuant to IFRS 8, «Operating
Segments», the operating segments
used for segment reporting were
identified on the basis of internal
reporting used by Management to allocate
resources to the different segments
and evaluate their performance.
There is no grouping of segments.
The 100% completion stage is achieved
at provisional acceptance (or equivalent
event). Expenses still to be incurred,
if any, to obtain the removal of
reservations, are covered in a reserve
for expenses. Provisional warranty costs
are covered in a contingency reserve.
The Executive Committee is the Group’s
«chief operating decision maker»
as per IFRS 8. The methods used
to measure key indicators of each
segment when preparing internal reports
are identical to those used for preparing
the consolidated financial statements.
Sale of goods and rendering
of services
Recognition of sales of goods
and provision of services comes under
IAS 18 and meets the criteria
for recognition of revenue:
revenue arising from the sale of goods
is recognized when the company
has transferred the significant risks
and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
n revenue arising from the rendering
of services is recognized according
to the stage of completion.
n 3.2.23. Basic earnings and diluted
earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are obtained
by dividing the net earnings due to the
Group’s shareholders by the average

The increase in goodwill on the Gas Treatment CGU in 2014 was due to the following transactions:
Acquisition of ITS Reaktortechnik GmbH
On October 15, 2014 the Group purchased the entire share capital of ITS Reaktortechnik GmbH for an estimated total acquisition price
of €4.850 million, plus €207,000 in acquisition fees net of tax, which were recorded as an expense in the consolidated financial statements.
This price includes a variable portion in the form of an earn-out clause for a maximum of €2.5 million. The variable portion will be payable in five
years, depending on the sales generated by the SmartSulf™ technology acquired as part of the deal.
Analysis of the breakdown of the acquisition cost had not been completed as of the account closing date. The difference between
the acquisition cost and the fair-value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any contingent liabilities
was allocated to goodwill, on a non-final basis, in the amount of €4.759 million.
Takeover of KPN
On May 30, 2014 the Group acquired an additional 50% of the shares in KPN Gas Technology, for €218,000, taking its holding in this company
to 100%, versus 50% previously. This acquisition generated goodwill of €303,000.
4.1.1. Assumptions applied for impairment testing of goodwill
The cash-generating units (CGU) identified by the Group correspond to the principal strategic development and investment areas.
Goodwill that has been allocated to the various CGU has been impairment-tested using the method described in Note 3.2.7.
The following assumptions have been applied for the primary CGU:
Medium-term plan
Perpetual growth rate
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital)
No impairment seemed necessary as a result of this test.

n
+/- 0.5 point of WACC
n
+/- 10% of estimated future cash flow
On these bases, the results would be unchanged.

Bonus shares
On June 5, 2009, the Shareholders approved a program to allocate free shares to all employees and executives of the Group, in one or more increments, for a
number not to exceed 3.76% of the capital, giving the Board of Directors the power to fix the procedures for this allocation and record the list of holders.
This was contingent upon the holders’ continued employment for not less than two years from the allocation date, as well as the Group’s performance, and
the shares also had to be held for a period of not less than two years from the final acquisition date of said shares.
As the authorization granted by the Shareholders on June 5, 2009 expired on September 16, 2012, the Shareholders granted the Board of Directors a new
authorization on May 24, 2012. The new approval covers the allocation of free existing shares for up to 4% of the share capital as of the date of the first
allocation decided by the Board of Directors. Since the authorization was granted, no free shares have been awarded.

4.14.2.1.Loans from credit institutions
At year-end 2014, the Group’s financial debt amounted to €12.947 million, essentially comprising:
A syndicated loan taken out by Heurtey Petrochem France with BNP Paribas and Natixis to acquire the Prosernat shares in April 2011.
This loan is divided into several tranches:
> A first tranche of €8 million, subscribed in April 2011. This five-year loan is being reimbursed on a straight-line basis with the first
instalment paid on June 10, 2012. At December 31, 2014, the residual financial debt amounted to €3.147 million, for an outstanding
principal amount due of €3.2 million.
> A second credit line of €8.16 million intended to refinance the vendor financing granted by IFPEN when 60% of the Prosernat shares
were acquired in April 2011. This credit line consists of two tranches of €2.4 million drawn in April 2012 and April 2013 and one €3.36
million tranche drawn in April 2014. At December 31, 2014, the residual financial debt amounted to €6.149 million, for an outstanding
principal amount due of €6.16 million.
> A third tranche granted by a rider in 2013 for €3.75 million to finance the acquisition of equipment from the subsidiary HPM and the
balance of 50% of HPM shares. This tranche is repayable in four equal annuities of €938,000, until November 2017. As at December 31,
2014, the residual financial debt amounted to €2.754 million, for an outstanding principal amount due of €2.813 million.
n A €1.2 million loan taken out by Prosernat in 2013 to finance the acquisition of technology licensing rights, repayable by continuous
monthly instalments over four years. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance was €887,000.
n Interest rates on these loans are as follows:
Syndicated loan of €8 million: 3 month Euribor variable rate +160 bp. In 2011, this variable rate was hedged against interest rates
at a fixed rate of 2.24%;
n € 8.16 million in lines of credit: 3 month Euribor variable rate +160 bp;
n € 3.75 million loan: 3 month Euribor variable rate +180 bp;
n € 1.2 million loan: 2.55% fixed rate.
n 4.14.2.2.Other loans and similar debt
This item primarily consists of:
the balance of prepayments for Prosernat (€196,000) corresponding to the advances received from government bodies (FSH, RTPG
and others) to finance research projects. In October 2014, several advances made by the French Ministry of Ecology via former
hydrocarbon support funds were cancelled, for a total of €1.11 million, with a demand for repayment of €270,000 to be made in 2015.
In response to this, the Group cancelled advances granted to its partners. The Group recorded income of €257,000 on this transaction;
n An Oséo loan for €834,000 repayable over four years. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance stood at €314,000 (zero interest loan).

for €4.2 million as at December 31, 2013, was repaid in full in 2014.

Measuring the fair value of a non-financial asset includes the capacity of a market player to generate economic benefits by making
optimal use of the asset or by selling it to another market player who would make optimal use of it.
Per IFRS 13, the inputs used to measure fair value are categorized into three different levels:
Level 1 inputs: Quoted (non-adjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access
at the measurement date.
n Level 2 inputs: Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
n Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. An entity develops unobservable inputs using the best information
available in the circumstances, which might include the entity’s own data, taking into account all information about market participant
assumptions that is reasonably available.
n The level of the fair value is thus determined by reference to the input level in the valuation technique. If a valuation technique based
on data from different levels is used, the fair value is then constrained by the lowest level.
All derivatives are classified using Level 2.

NOTE 7. EXPOSURE TO FINANCIAL RISKS
7.1. INTEREST-RATE RISK
The Group’s main financial debts are supported by the holding company Heurtey Petrochem France and the subsidiaries Prosernat and Heurtey
Petrochem India.
Given the Group’s position at December 31, 2014, variable-rate debts essentially consist of:
The syndicated bank loan taken out by Heurtey Petrochem France
The line of credit drawn by Heurtey Petrochem France
n Bank facilities with Heurtey Petrochem France and Heurtey Petrochem India
n The renewable credit line drawn by Heurtey Petrochem France
n
n
The Group’s cash is invested short-term to ensure its liquidity. Financial income is subject to fluctuations in money market interest rates.
At December 31, 2014, the Group used an interest rate derivative to hedge the interest rate risk on the first four variable-rate tranches
of the syndicated loan. A 1% change in the interest-rate risk would result in an annual outlay of €126,000.
7.2. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Heurtey Petrochem Group carries out “multiple currency” projects that expose it to the risk of fluctuating foreign exchange rates.
The Group uses forward currency contracts to protect itself against this risk.
At December 31, 2014, the outstanding operations contracted were:
Heurtey Petrochem SA
HPIP
> Forward currency
> Forward currency sales:
purchases: €4.196 million
€824,000
Prosernat
€9.601 million
PCK
€13.386 million
> Forward currency
PCD
> Forward currency
7.3. LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group’s policy is to maintain a positive available cash flow so it can successfully carry out its development strategy in complete
independence.
The Group’s cash surplus and requirements are directly managed or steered by the Group’s Cash department, following a prudent policy,
the purpose of which is to prevent any risk of losses on the capital, and to preserve a satisfactory cash position.
Surplus cash is mainly invested in money market UCITS and cash equivalents, with less than 0.5% sensitivity, and the recommended
investment period is less than three months.
The items recognized by the Group as «Cash and cash equivalents» respond strictly to the criteria set by the AMF (French financial markets
authority). Investments are reviewed regularly and in compliance with Group procedures, and in strict compliance with the qualification
criteria defined by IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows, and the AMF’s recommendations.
The Group may hedge a portion of its debts and receivables against interest rate fluctuations using financial instruments such as swaps
and rate derivatives.
7.4. CREDIT RISK
The credit risk comes from cash and cash equivalents, derivatives and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as exposures
to client credits, specifically outstanding receivables and transactions initiated.
The credit risk on cash, cash equivalents and current financial instruments is not significant with regard to the quality of the co-contracting
financial institutions.
The credit risk on receivables is limited due to the quality of the client portfolio at the 2014 closing.
