Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009
A-2
The
Board of Directors
Meetic S.A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Meetic S.A. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
As discussed in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to change its method of accounting with respect to the classification of the Assessment on Added Value ("Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée") as income tax.

Note 1. MAJOR EVENTS DURING YEARS 2009 AND 2010
Acquisition of Match.com International Ltd
On 5 June 2009, Meetic acquired Match.com International Limited (MIL), which operates Match.com's business in Europe. For this acquisition, Meetic issued 6,094,334 common shares reserved for Match.com Pegasus Limited in addition to a €9.5 million Promissory Note (this amount includes the net financial contribution of €4,162,333 made by the Match group to Match.com International Limited in connection with the split-up of Match.com International Limited's European and non-European businesses).
The final amount of the Promissory Note came to €7.5 million, taking into consideration the adjustment for Net Working Capital calculated as provided in the Acquisition Agreement.
Sale of eFriendsNet subsidiary
On 5 January 2009, the Group sold its entire stake in eFriendsNet to the founding shareholders thereof for $10. The assets and liabilities of eFriendsnet had been classified as held for sale as of 31 December 2008, causing a charge to be recorded of €14 570 000. The actual sale transaction was recorded in Meetic Group's financial statements as of 31 December 2009. The impact in the 2009 income statement was € 593 thousands, corresponding essentially to the recycling of conversion reserves and the charge for the discontinuance from the Group of this company in respect of the Group's reserves.
Formation of a joint venture with Match.com in Latin America
On 10 March 2010, Meetic and Match.com, a subsidiary of IAC, finalized a strategic business alliance involving the formation of a joint company in Latin America, called Match.com Global Investments SARL. This decision was approved by the Board of Directors on 12 November 2009.

Under this agreement, Meetic will own 10% of shares and voting rights of Match.com Global Investments SARL, representing 50% of the economic interests of the new company, the operations of which will be controlled by Match.com.
Meetic's stake in the new company is subject to put and call options that may be exercised as from the fourth year at fair market value and may give rise to payment of an additional $1.5 million upon the occurrence thereof.
The contribution was treated as a sale with a loss of control of the Brazilian company, in accordance with IAS 27 (revised in 2008). On 31 December 2009, all assets and liabilities of ParPerfeito were classified, at their fair value, as held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5.
Meetic has significant influence over Match.com Global Investments SARL, in light of its 10% stake and representation on the Board of Directors, which requires it to account for its investment in Match.com Global Investments SARL in accordance with the equity method as of 10 March 2010, as provided in IAS 28.
As of 31 December 2010, the Group share in Match.com Global Investments SARL was recorded in the balance sheet under the line item "Investments in associates" in the amount of €22.6 million.
This amount consists of:
Payment of a dividend of 1.5 euro per share
Meetic's Board of Directors decided, at its meeting of 17 March 2010, to propose the payment of a dividend to its shareholders. The amount of dividend paid on 14 June 2010 is 1.5 euro per share.

Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
2.1. Statement of Compliance and Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
2.1.1. Financial Statements as of 31 December 2010
The
consolidated financial statements of the Group for the periods presented are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as endorsed by the
European Union as of 31 December 2010 (available on the site
http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_fr.htm) and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The new standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), required to be applied as of 31 December 2010 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2010.
With respect to new standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB as of 31 December 2010 which are required to be applied after 31 December 2010, as well as proposals published by the IASB, the Group has decided not to apply them on an anticipated basis. Meetic is currently assessing the potential impact of the application of these amendments on its financial statements.
2.1.2. Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009
As of 31 December 2009, the accounting principles and estimates used by the Group are identical to those used in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2008, except as set forth below.
Since 1st January 2009, the Group has identified and presented operating segments based on information transmitted internally to Senior Executive Management. This change in accounting methods resulted from application of IFRS 8 "Operating Segments". In the past operating segments were identified and presented in accordance with IAS 14, "Segment Information". The new accounting method application is set forth below.
Comparative segment information has been restated in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 8. This change in accounting method affected only the presentation and content of the information set forth in Note 4 and had no impact on earnings per share.
An operating segment is a component or division of the Group that conducts operations with respect to which it expects or is likely to generate revenues or incur expenses, including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other divisions or operations of the Group. Operating income of the segment is periodically reviewed by Senior Executive Management to make decisions with respect to resources to be devoted to the segment and in evaluating its performance. Distinct financial information is available for such segment.
Segment results submitted to Senior Executive Management consist of information directly attributable to the segment. The unassigned items consist of all structural expenses or charges.
Under and pursuant to IFRS 8, the Group has identified three operating segments:
A-12
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
The Group applied revised IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements", which took effect on 1st January 2009. Accordingly, the Group presents a consolidated statement of comprehensive income and presents all changes in shareholders' equity (also called net equity) in respect of the Company's owners only in the Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity, while changes in shareholders' equity that have no effect on the owners are also presented in the Consolidated Income Statement. This presentation was used for the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2009.
Comparative information has been restated to be brought into compliance with the revised standard. This change in accounting method, which affects only presentation, has no impact on earnings per share.
The application of amendment IAS 38.69 relating to advertising expenses had no impact on the Group's financial statements as of 31 December 2009 or on comparative purposes.
The new standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) and required to be applied as of 31 December 2009 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2009.
2.2. Change in accounting principles
The Budget Law ("Loi de finances") for 2010, approved on 30 December 2009, eliminated the application of the professional tax ("taxe professionnelle") to companies domiciled in France for tax purposes from and after 2010 and replaced it with the "Contribution Economique Territoriale" ("CET"), or Territorial Economic Contribution, which includes two new assessments:
The Group concluded that the above-described tax changes consisted of a replacement of the professional tax ("taxe professionnelle") by these two new assessments:
As required by IAS 12, the recognition of CVAE as income tax should have lead the Group to recognize as of 31 December 2009 deferred taxes in respect of taxable temporary differences existing as

Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
this date, as counterpart of a net charge in the income statement, as the Budget Law ("Loi de finances") was approved in 2009. However, the application of this principle had no significant impact on 2009 accounts. On the other side, as of 31 December 2010, the CVAE expense is classified under the line item "Income tax" of the income statement for an amount of €679 thousand.
2.3. General valuation principles
The annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the principle of historical costs, except for certain financial assets, valued at fair value.
2.4. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS recognition and measurement principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the information contained in certain Notes to the Financial Statements.
Since these assumptions are, by their nature, uncertain, actual results could differ from such estimates. Meetic Management regularly reviews these estimates and assumptions to reflect past achievements and integrate factors deemed relevant in light of economic conditions.
The main estimates and assumptions relate to the measurement of:
2.5. Principles of Consolidation
Subsidiaries
Investments over which the Group exercises control, are fully consolidated. Control exists when the Group has the power directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Associates
Entities over which the Group exercises significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of voting rights in an entity unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the Group does not exercise significant influence. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The financial statements of the Group shall be prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
2.6. Foreign Currency Translation
Financial statements denominated in a foreign currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Functional currency of the Group is the euro. Financial statements of subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not the euro, are translated into euros as follows:
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a foreign company is recorded in the functional currency of the cash generating unit to which it is attached. It is then converted as at reporting date into the currency of presentation of the Group. The differences resulting from this conversion are recorded in equity as Other Comprehensive Income in the line item "Currency Translation Adjustments".
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At each closing date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies recorded at historical cost are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate. All differences are taken to profit and loss in Financial Income.
Differences on foreign currency borrowings that provide a hedge against a net investment in a foreign entity are taken directly to equity (in the line item "Currency translation adjustments"), until the disposal of the net investment.
2.7. Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Income
The Group presents an analysis of expenses recognized in profit or loss using a classification based on their nature.
The Consolidated Statement of Income presents a subtotal for:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
Consolidated statement of financial position
Assets and liabilities which are due to be settled in its normal operating cycle, generally within twelve months after the reporting period, are classified as current. The Group classifies all other assets as non-current.
2.8. Business combinations and goodwill
Business combinations from 1 January 2010
Business combinations are recorded using the acquisition method. Under this method, upon the initial consolidation of an entity over which the Group has acquired exclusive control:
This option is available on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
At this date, goodwill is initially measured as the difference between:
The purchase price allocation shall be performed within 12 months after the acquisition date.
If goodwill is negative, it is recognized in the Statement of Income.
Subsequently, goodwill is measured at its initial amount less recorded accumulated impairment losses (please refer to Note 2.11).
In addition, the following principles are applied to business combinations:
Business combinations prior to 1 January 2010
IFRS 3, as published by the IASB in March 2004, already retained the acquisition method. However, its provisions differed from those of the revised standard on the main following items:
A-16
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
2.9. Intangible assets, other than goodwill
An intangible asset shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. They consist of:
The Group recognizes development costs of websites in accordance with the terms and conditions of IAS 38, Intangible Assets, and SIC 32, Intangible AssetsCosts Related to Websites, i.e., after verifying the following conditions:
Subsequent improvement costs of the sites are recorded as expenses.
The expenses incurred for internal creation of trademarks/brands are not recognized as intangible assets, but constitute expenses for the period. Trademarks acquired during company reorganizations are treated as having an indefinite useful life, are, therefore, not amortized, and are subjected to an impairment test.
An intangible asset acquired in a business combination is recognized at the acquisition date separately from goodwill within a measurement period that shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Intangible assets are subjected to an impairment test when there is any indication that an asset may be impaired and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life or intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually (please refer to Note 2.11).
A-17
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
2.10. Property, plant and equipment
An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset shall be measured at its cost. An item of property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination is recognized at its fair value at acquisition date. After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, requires that the principal components of an asset having a material cost compared to the total cost of the principal fixed asset be identified, so that they can be amortized over their own useful life. In light of the character of the property, plant and equipment items owned by the Group, however (see, below), no component for purposes of IAS 16 has been identified.
An item of property, plant and equipment is amortized by the straight-line method over its useful life.
Useful lives of new equipment are recorded in the following limits:
Used equipment acquired is amortized on a straight line basis over its remaining useful life.
2.11. Asset Impairment
Each time events or changes in the economic environment indicate a current risk of impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and assets in progress, the Group re-examines the value of these assets.
In addition, goodwill, other indefinite life intangible assets and intangible assets in progress are all subject to an annual impairment test during the month of December of each fiscal year.
For the purposes of the goodwill impairment test, the Group's net assets are allocated to Cash Generating Units ("CGUs"). A Cash Generating Unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
The CGUs used in the present configuration and organization of the Group are the 10 countries in which the Group operates.
This test is performed in order to compare the recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to the carrying value of the corresponding assets. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of either the value in use or the fair value (less costs to sell). The value in use of each asset or group of assets is determined as the discounted value of future cash flows (discounted cash flow method or "DCF") by using cash flow projections consistent with the budget and the most recent forecasts prepared by the Management.
A-18
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying value of an asset or group of assets, an impairment loss is recognized in Operating Income for the difference in the amounts. In the case of a group of assets, this impairment loss is recorded first against goodwill.
The impairment losses recognized in respect of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (other than goodwill) may be reversed in a later period if the recoverable amount becomes greater than the carrying value, within the limit of impairment losses previously recognized. Impairment losses recognized in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed at a later date.
2.12. Provisions
The Group recognizes provisions when it has a legal or constructive obligation resulting from past events, the resolution of which would result in an outflow of resources, and when the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Litigation (including employment-related disputes) is provisioned as soon as an obligation arises on the part of the Group to a third party that exists at the end of the accounting period. Provisions are valued on the basis of the best estimate of the foreseeable expenses, and are discounted to present value, when the effect of time value is significant.
2.13. Employee benefits
Under and pursuant to obligations resulting from employee and labour legislation in France, the Group contributes to mandatory retirement plans through schemes or plans involving defined contributions. In this respect, the Group paid contributions based on salaries, recorded as expenses for the period.
In France and Germany, the Group has also agreed to plans for defined benefit plans for retirement. Agreements relating to retirement in France are estimated in accordance with IAS 19, Employee Benefits. They are near zero, however, in light, in particular of the relatively short length of service of the Group employees.
2.14. Share-based payment
Executive officers and certain employees of Meetic and its subsidiaries have received founders' warrants ("bons de souscription de parts de créateur d'entreprise") and free shares.
IFRS 2, Share-based payment, requires a valuation and recognition of such plans at grant date.
Pursuant to the transitional provisions of IFRS 1 with respect to IFRS 2, the Group elected to retain only plans granted after 7 November 2002 and the rights under which would not have vested as of 1st January 2005. Plans prior to 7 November 2002 are not valued and remain unrecorded, so long as the option has not been exercised.
The Group conducted a valuation, at the grant date, of the plans falling within the scope of IFRS 2, in accordance with the Black & Scholes model. Changes in value subsequent to the grant date are without impact on the initial valuation of the options or warrants. The number of options or warrants taken into consideration in valuing the plan is adjusted at the end of each accounting period to reflect the likely presence of the beneficiaries at the end of the period when the rights are no longer available.
A-19
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
The benefit valued in accordance with IFRS 2 is a form of compensation for the beneficiaries: it is recorded as a personnel expense, amortized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, with corresponding credit in shareholders' equity.
2.15. Treasury shares
If an entity reacquires its own equity instruments, those instruments ('treasury shares') shall be deducted from equity. No gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of an entity's own equity instruments.
2.16. Transaction costs of an equity transaction
The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.
2.17. Financial Instruments
Financial instruments of the Group consist of financial assets and liabilities. As of 31 December 2010 and 2009, the Group does not have any derivative.
Financial assets
Financial assets are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration paid, for which the best evidence is the acquisition cost (including associated acquisition costs, if any).
The Group's financial assets consist of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables:
As of 31 December 2010 and 2009, the Group does not have any financial assets available-for-sale or held-to-maturity.
Cash and cash equivalent
The item "Cash and Cash Equivalents" in the balance sheet consists of:
This line item does not include bank overdrafts that are presented as current financial liabilities in the statement of financial position.
A-20
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
Cash presented in the Statement of Cash Flows corresponds to "cash and cash equivalents" as defined above.
Financial asset impairment
The assets valued at amortized cost, i.e., "loans and receivables" in the case of the Group, must be subjected, at the end of each accounting period, to an impairment test, if there is any indication or indicator of a loss in value.
The amount of any write-down is equal to the difference between the book value of the asset and the amount, discounted to present value, of expected future cash flow, in light of the condition of the counterparty, determined by using the initial effective interest rate of the financial instrument. The expected cash flow of short-term assets is not discounted to present value.
The impairment determined is recorded in financial income (loss) for the period. If, during subsequent periods, the conditions leading to the impairment disappear, the write-down must be reversed, without the net book value, however, becoming greater than the amortized cost as of the date of reversal.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the Group are measured at amortized cost calculated based on the effective interest rate method.
Liabilities are split between current liabilities, for the portion to be repaid within twelve months after the end of the period, and non-current (or long-term) liabilities having maturities of greater than twelve months.
As of 31 December 2009, the Group's financial liabilities essentially consist of the following:
As of 31 December 2010, financial liabilities within the Group mainly consist of trade payables.
2.18. Non-current assets held for sale
A fixed asset or a grouping of assets and liabilities is classified as held for sale when its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset (or groupings of assets and liabilities) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or groupings of assets and liabilities), and its sale must be highly probable.
Such assets or groupings of assets and liabilities are measured at the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
Any loss in value in respect of a group intended for sale is charged to goodwill, first, then to other assets in proportion to their book value, except, however, for financial assets and deferred tax assets, which continue to be valued in accordance with the Group's accounting principles applicable to them. Losses in value resulting from the classification of an asset (or group of assets intended for sale or
A-21
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
disposition) as held for sale, as well as gains and losses in respect of subsequent valuations are recorded in income. The gain recorded may not exceed the aggregate amount of losses in book value.
2.19. Income tax
Deferred tax is recognized using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Accordingly, the tax charge is attached to each appropriate period, in light, among other things, of the timing differences that can arise between the date of recording certain items of revenue and expense and the effective tax impact thereof.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference or tax losses carried forward can be utilized.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax is not recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, except:
A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as non-current assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.
Income tax expense is recognized in statement of income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income.
2.20. Revenue
Revenue consists principally of subscriptions to the various services available on the website. These services offered to clients constitute a continuous service over time. Revenue is recognized on a daily basis over the subscription period. At year-end, therefore, subscription revenue relating to the subsequent financial period is booked as deferred income.
A-22
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (Continued)
Revenue generated from mobile technology consists of payments from the mobile telephone operators with which the Group's companies have a partnership, for the presence of their mobile sites on the operators' portals. The payment from the operators is recorded net of their management expenses at the time the service is delivered.
Revenue from display advertising on the Group's sites is recognized as the campaign advances.
Other revenue from operations is recorded, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
2.21. Segment reporting
The Group has identified and presented the operating segments based on the information sent internally to the Senior Executive Management.
An operating segment is a Group unit involved in operations that may require that said unit draws on income or incur expenses, including income and expenses regarding transactions with other Group units. The Senior Executive Management regularly reviews the operating earnings of the segment to make decisions on the resources to be allocated to segment, and to assess its performance. Separate financial information for this unit is available.
Pursuant to IFRS 8, the Group has identified three operating segments:
Segment results submitted to the Senior Executive Management consist of information directly attributable to the segment. The unassigned items consist of all structural expenses or charges.
2.22. Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. A discontinued operation represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a significant subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
To be classified as a "Discontinued Operation", the operations must have been terminated or have been previously classified as "Assets Held for Sale". A discontinued operation is clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group from an operational point of view and for purposes of financial disclosure.
Amounts included in the statements of income and the statements of cash flows related to these discontinued operations are presented separately for the current period and all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
As of 31 December 2009, the operations of the Brazilian subsidiary ParPerfeito and eFriendsNet, were classified as discontinued operations, and their assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale in the statement of financial position (please refer to Note 11).

Formation of a joint venture with Match.com in Latin America
On 10 March 2010, Meetic and Match.com, a subsidiary of IAC, finalized a strategic business alliance involving the formation of a joint company in Latin America, called Match.com Global Investments SARL. The investment is accounted for in accordance with the equity method as of 10 March 2010 (please refer to Note 1).
3.3. Changes in the scope of consolidation in 2009
Acquisition of Match International Ltd
On 5 June 2009 Meetic acquired Match.com International Limited (MIL), which conducts Match.com's business in Europe. To finance this acquisition, Meetic issued 6 094 334 common shares reserved to Match.com Pegasus Limited, as well as a Promissory Note (subject to English law) in an initial principal amount of €9.5 million (such amount including the net financial contribution of €4.2 million made by Match to Match.com International Limited in connection with the spin-off of the European from the non-European operations of MIL). The final amount of the indebtedness is €7.5 million, reflecting the adjustment in target working capital set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement.
In light of the net condition of the acquired company MIL's goodwill amounts to GB£ 106 million.
The pro forma income statement from 1st January 2009 to 31 December 2009 consists of the financial statements of Meetic, excluding the ParPerfeito contribution classified as discontinued operations and the financial statements of Match.com International Limited ("MIL"), as if it had been consolidated as of 1st January 2009.

The adjustments to fair value of the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of MIL on the date of the combination corresponded to the identification of the MIL brand upon exercise of allocation of the price made in accordance with IFRS 3. In accordance with IFRS 3, the Group conducted an analysis of identifiable assets and liabilities at the initial date of the combination. This analysis was conducted by an independent appraiser, on the basis of the forecast operating information provided by Meetic. This analysis highlighted the recognition of a brand in light of the value of the MIL brand and its notoriety in the market involved. This brand was estimated on the basis of forecasted revenues projected over 10 years, with a rate of return of 4%. This brand is considered as an asset with an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not amortized.
Goodwill is justified by the fact that MIL is a major player in its markets, and there are numerous synergies with Meetic Group.
For the period 1st January to 31 December 2009, the revenue and net income of MIL were GB£ 50 643 000 and GB£ 10 351 000, respectively.

An impairment test of the value of goodwill as of 31 December 2010 and 2009 was conducted in accordance with the procedure adopted by the Group. This procedure, based principally on the method of discounted net cash flow, consists of valuing the recoverable value of each entity generating its own cash flow.
A-33
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 13. GOODWILL (Continued)
2010 impairment test
The principal assumptions used to determine the recoverable value of the goodwill are the following:
|
31.12.2010 | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-income tax Discount rate |
10,0 | % | ||
Perpetual growth rate |
1,5 | % |
The discount rate was determined based on a free risk rate (rate for OATsFrench Treasury notes) of 3.0%, a risk premium of 6.75%, a reserve of 0.9 and a specific risk premium of 1%. The Group considers it is prudent in the current economic environment to retain a reserve of 0.9 in order to have a discount rate of 10%, which corresponds to the historical discount rate used by the Group before the economic crisis (the Group changed for 11,5% in 2008 and 2009). The perpetual growth rate used for testing is 1.5% and reflects a particularly prudent valuation of the management.
The Group analyzed the sensibilities of the recoverable amounts to a reasonable possible change of a key assumption. These analyses did not show a situation in which the carrying value of the CGUs would exceed their recoverable amount. These sensibility analyses consisted on changing independently the discount rate or the perpetual growth rate. The changes in value of the rates to obtain recoverable amounts equal to carrying values are not considered as reasonable possible according to the fact that the Management has already retained very prudent assumptions.
Such tests of value implemented as of 31 December 2010 did not show any impairment in value of goodwill.
2009 impairment test
The principal assumptions used to determine the recoverable value of the goodwill are the following:
|
31.12.2010 | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-income tax Discount rate |
11,5 | % | ||
Perpetual growth rate |
1,5 | % |
Such tests of value implemented as of 31 December 2009 did not show any impairment in value of goodwill, except for the Brazilian subsidiary held for sale in connection with the contribution of this business to a joint venture with Match.
The discount rate to present value was determined on the basis of riskless rates (rate for OATsFrench Treasury notes) of 3.6%, a risk premium of 6.2%, and a reserve of 1.2. The rate used varies between 10% and 13.5%, on the basis of the specific characteristics of each of the subsidiaries and the country risk identified. The growth rate to infinity used for tests of value is 1.5% and reflects a particularly prudent valuation
A-34
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 13. GOODWILL (Continued)
In accordance with the AMF's recommendations, the company conducted sensitivity tests. A sensibility analysis of the both criteria (growth rate to infinity and discount rate to present value) according to reasonable hypothesis didn't show any scenario which shows a fair value for the UGT lower than the accounting value.
Such tests of value implemented as of 31 December 2009 did not show any impairment in value of goodwill.

Note 22. EQUITY
22.1. Capital risk management
The Group's strategy is to maintain a solid capital structure, to preserve the confidence of investors, creditors, and the market and to support future growth of the business. The priority of the Board of Directors is the Group's growth and profitability. Even if the Board of Directors decided on 17 March 2010 to propose the payment of a dividend to its shareholders for €1.50 per share (refer to Note 1), the Group's policy at this stage is not to adopt a strategy of paying dividends on a regular basis, but to reinvest all equity generated to support growth.
In the area of employee investment in the Company's share capital, the Board of Directors has an open policy that is not limited to members of the Management Board. During the previous fiscal years, a program of awarding free shares was adopted and intended mainly for middle level executive employees.
Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to specific requirements, restricting transfers of capital funds.

Financial liabilities:
As of 31 December 2009, residual sellers' liabilities related to the acquisition of MIL.
In connection with the acquisition of the European operations of Match., the Group must meet a residual liability of £300,000 (€338,000) reflecting the difference between nominative working capital requirements calculated post-acquisition and target working capital requirements determined contractually.
According to the acquisition of Match.com International Limited, parties agreed that a credit tax asset stays owned by the vendor of MIL for the period prior to the acquisition. Meetic recorded a financial liability against Match.com Pegasus of £3.198.000 (€3.7 million as of 31 December 2010 and €3.6 million as of 31 December 2009), with a counterpart as a credit tax asset for the same amount at acquisition date. As of 31 December 2010, one part of the liability against Match.com Pegasus for an amount of €1.7 million is reclassified to current liabilities as payment has been received in January from the Tax authorities.
During the first quarter of 2010, Meetic settled this liability of €338.000 representing the difference between the closing net working capital and the target net working capital as defined in the agreement.

Note 30. EXPOSURE OF THE GROUP TO FINANCIAL RISKS
30.1. Market risk
Foreign currency risk
Meetic is not significantly exposed to foreign currency risks in respect of its business operations, since the major portion of the transactions (internet) made by its clients are invoiced or paid in Euros (approximately 68% of revenues during 2010 and 70% during 2009).
The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are expressed in the functional currency of the subsidiaries. The assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of such subsidiaries are converted into Euros in connection with the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements.
If the Euro appreciates (or decreases) compared to another foreign currency, the value in Euros of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses initially recorded in such other currency will decrease (or increase). Thus, variations in the value of the Euro may have an effect on the value in Euros of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not denominated in Euros, even if the value of such items has not changed in local currency.
A variance of 10% of the parities of currencies other than the operating currencies of the subsidiaries would have had no effect on the Group's net income (loss) for financial year 2010 and 2009.
A-52
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 30. EXPOSURE OF THE GROUP TO FINANCIAL RISKS (Continued)
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risks on its treasury investments.
The effect of a decline in interest rates of 1 point applied to short-term rates would have no effect on the Group's net income (loss) for financial year 2010 and 2009.
Equity market risk
The Group does not have a strategy of holding treasury shares in connection with its investments. On the other hand, it holds a small number of its own shares as a result of implementing a liquidity agreement as part of its share buy-back program. In addition, in light of the trading price of its shares, the Company decided to buy back its shares in 2008 so as to be able to honor the first portion of its free share plan without having to issue new shares.
The Company held 10 791 of its own shares in its Treasury on 31 December 2010 and 23 217 on 31 December 2009.
In light of the very limited number of treasury shares, the direct impact of a variance in the Company's shares on net income and shareholders' equity is believed to be negligible.
30.2. Liquidity risk
To manage the liquidity risk that could arise in connection with the maturity of financial liabilities, whether at their contractual due date, or prematurely, the Group has implemented a prudent financing strategy based, in particular, on investment of its excess cash in riskless financial investments.
The Group is not subject to any bank guarantee
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities (interest and principal), with agreed repayment periods:

Note 30. EXPOSURE OF THE GROUP TO FINANCIAL RISKS (Continued)
30.3. Credit risk
Financial instruments that could potentially subject the Group to concentrations of counterparty risk consist primarily of:
The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
The Group does not recognize any financial asset past due but not impaired.
Note 31. RELATED PARTIES

Note 1. MAJOR EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
Match.com's tender offer for Meetic
On 22 June 2011, Match.com Europe Limited filed with the AMF a cash tender offer for Meetic. Pursuant to this offer, Match.com Europe Limited commits itself to offer to the holders of shares issued by Meetic to purchase any and all of the shares of the Company that are traded on Eurolist (Compartiment B) of NYSE Euronext ("NYSE Euronext") at a price of 15 euros per share.
Match.com Europe Limited reserves the right to substitute its affiliate Match.com Pegasus Limited for itself to acquire the Company Shares tendered to the offer. The Match.com group currently owns, through Match.com Pegasus Limited, 6,094,334 Company Shares, representing 26.51% of the Company Shares of Meetic as of 22 June 2011. As mentioned above, on 29 May 2011, Mr. Marc Simoncini entered into the Tender Commitment with Match.com Pegasus Limited, whereby he agreed to tender in the offer 3,667,773 Company Shares, which represent 15.95% of the total number of shares outstanding.
During its meeting on 22 June 2011, the Meetic's Board of Directors took note of the terms and conditions of the offer, of Match.com's intentions, of the valuation information included in the Match's offer document and in the independent expert report. After having debated, the Board of Directors considered the planned operation as a friendly takeover, which is in the best interest of the Company, the employees and the shareholders who are seeking a prompt liquidity; the Board of Directors issued a substantiated recommendation regarding the terms and conditions of this offer and the attractive value to all shareholders of the Company who are seeking liquidity for their shares.
On 6 July 2011, the AMF cleared the offer after it has verified its compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory provisions and published such clearance on its internet website. The offer document (visa n°11-290, 5 July 2011) and the Meetic's reply document (visa n°11-291, 5 July 2011) have been made available to the public.
As a consequence, the offer is opened from 8 July 2011 until 11 August 2011 included.
A new subsidiary created in Sweden
The Group set up a company named Match.com Nordic AB located in Sweden, in order to carry the activity of the Group in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. This company is operating beginning as of 1st January 2011.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2011 (Continued)
Note 2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
2.1. Statement of Compliance and Basis of preparation of Financial Statements
The Group's condensed financial statements as of 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. With respect to the condensed financial statements, they do not include all information required by the IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.
The accounting principles used in preparing these condensed financial statements comply with IFRS standards and interpretations as adopted by the European Union as of 30 June 2011 and available on the website http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_fr.htm. These standards and interpretations, as applied to Meetic's financial statements, do not differ from the standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The accounting principles used are consistent with those used in preparing the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, set forth in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2010 Annual Report.
The new standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), approved by the European Union and required to be applied as of 30 June 2011 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2011.
With respect to new standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB and approved by the European Union as of 30 June 2011 which are required to be applied after 30 June 2011, as well as proposals published by the IASB, but not yet approved by the European Union on 30 June 2011, the Group has decided not to apply them on an anticipated basis. Meetic is currently assessing the potential impact of the application of these amendments on its financial statements.
2.2. Change in accounting principles
The Budget Law ("Loi de finances") for 2010, approved on 30 December 2009, eliminated the application of the professional tax ("taxe professionnelle") to companies domiciled in France for tax purposes from and after 2010 and replaced it with the "Contribution Economique Territoriale" ("CET"), or Territorial Economic Contribution, which includes two new assessments:
The Group concluded that the "CVAE" is consistent with an income tax as defined by IAS 12, Income taxes. As of 31 December 2010, the CVAE expense for an amount of €679 thousand is classified under the line item "Income tax" of the income statement. This classification differs from the presentation used by the Group in the past, when the "CVAE" was recognized as an operating expense.
The 30 June 2010 figures have been reclassified to present the "CVAE" tax on the line "Income tax" for an amount of €265 thousand.
