IFRS

NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH IFRS Kerlink, is a French limited liability company (Société Anonyme), whose registered office is located at 1, rue

Jacqueline Auriol, 35235 Thorigné Fouillard, France.

In these financial statements and notes, amounts are shown in thousands of euros (k€) and differences of ± k€1 are

due to rounding.

The financial statements cover a period of 12 months for the years ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014.

The financial statements include Kerlink SA, hereinafter referred to as the "Company".

1. COMPANY OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

Company overview

Kerlink, founded in 2004, is a global expert in providing network infrastructure solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT).

The offering includes solutions (software, hardware, and services) for public operators, businesses, and utilities.

Kerlink's products are known to be robust, easy to integrate into all kinds of networks and fleets, compatible with

the majority of global standards, and inexpensive to operate and deploy. The services Kerlink offers cover client

needs including: network planning, network performance optimisation, remote network management, and GPS-

free location.

More than 70,000 products have been deployed in France and internationally for more than 260 clients including

GrDF, Saur, Suez, Bouygues, Orange, Swisscom, Médiatmétrie, and Tata Communications.

Highlights of the year

Throughout 2016, Kerlink communicated about technological innovations being developed as well as new

products on the market, responding to its partners' specific needs and complex issues.

Early in 2016, the company launched its very latest innovative infrastructure equipment: WIRNET IFEMTOCELL. This

indoor access point features an innovative compact design and optimal performance. The product's safety was

optimised to meet operator requirements for deployment inside buildings, for professional and private clients alike.

From January to June 2016, the Company conducted its initial public offering (IPO) project and managed day-to-

day activity, thereby adapting the strategic roadmap laid out early in the year: financing and managing growth.

On 29 March 2016, at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, the Company carried out a capital reduction, a division

of the nominal value of its equities by one-fourth, and a transformation into a French limited liability company with

a Board of Directors when launching its initial public offering.

The Company announced its intention to perform an IPO on the Alternext Paris Market on 11 April 2016.

On completion of the IPO, announced on 19 May 2016, the Company raised about €12.8 million reaching €13.2

millionafter the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

The share price at the IPO was set at €10.43per share. In all, the number of new shares issued under the global offer

was 1,016,453 (978,069 new shares + 38,384 new shares in the context of the partial exercise of the over-allotment

option).

The Company's shares were first listed on the Alternext Market of the Paris stock exchange on 24 May 2016.

In keeping with the plan to launch the IPO, Kerlink was supported by its historic shareholders. All convertible bonds

issued in June 2015 were converted into ordinary shares on the date the Company shares were registered on the

Alternext market. Those 244,488 shares were reimbursed at the IPO price for a total of €2.55 M.

On 18 May 2016, the Company entered into a liquidity contract with Louis Capital Market (LCM). The partnership

took effect at the opening of negotiations on 24 May 2016.

2. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND VALUATION METHODS

2.1. PUBLICATION ENVIRONMENT

Kerlink prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with general accounting principles applicable in

France (French GAAP) and the French General Accounting Plan. However, for its initial public offering on 19 May

2016, Kerlink wanted to voluntarily prepare its financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the financial years

ended 31 December 2015, 31 December 2014, and 31 December 2013. The transition date was set at 1 January

2013.

As a result, those financial statements were prepared specifically for the needs of the prospectus (Document de

Base) submitted for AMF approval, and do not replace the statutory financial statements prepared in accordance

with French GAAP approved by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. Furthermore, it is clearly stated that the

Company, given its size, is not currently required to prepare consolidated financial statements. Likewise, the

admission of shares on Alternext does not entail an obligation to prepare consolidated financial statements, unless

the Company exceeds the legal thresholds.

These IFRS financial statements for the financial years ended at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2015, and 31

December 2014 were approved by the Board of Directors on 6 March 2017.

2.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The main accounting methods applied when preparing the IFRS financial statements are set out hereinafter. Unless

otherwise indicated, these methods have been permanently applied to all the financial years presented.

Statement of Compliance

The IFRS financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union

at 31 December 2016, and their application is mandatory at that date, with a comparison to 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IAS B) and endorsed by the European Union. The IFRS

as adopted by the European Union can be consulted on the European Commission’s website:

http://ec.europa.eu/finance/company-reporting/ifrs-financial-statements/index_en.htm.

In addition, the financial statements include the information deemed material as required by the French

accounting standards-setter (Autorité des Normes Comptables – ANC) in Standard no. 2016-09.

First-Time Adoption of IFRS

The Company's first IFRS-compliant accounts were prepared at 31 December 2015. IFRS 1, "First-Time Adoption of

International Financial Reporting Standards", was applied at the transition date, 1 January 2013. The accounts were

prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union in force at 31/12/2015, for all the periods

presented.

Principle of preparing financial statements

IFRS financial statements were prepared according to the historical cost convention, except as regards certain

assets and financial instruments that have been measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period,

as explained in the accounting methods below.

Generally, historical cost is based on the fair value of the counterparty given in exchange for goods and services.

Business Continuity

The financial statements were approved according to the business continuity principle.

2.3. CHANGES TO STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Standards, amendments and interpretations that were mandatory in 2016

The new amendments to the standards and interpretations, which had to be applied as of 1 January 2016, had no

impact on the Company's financial statements:

Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

Improvements to IFRS 2012-2014 cycle: IAS 19 States that the market yields on government bonds shall be

Improvements to IFRS 2012-2014 cycle: Clarifies the meaning of 'elsewhere in the interim report'.

Improvements to IFRS 2012-2014 cycle: IFRS 5 Specific guidance on changes in methods of disposal

Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements

Standards, amendments, and interpretations published by IASB but not yet applicable at 31 December 2016

The Company did not apply in advance any of the new standards and interpretations mentioned hereinafter,

which might affect it and whose application is not mandatory at 1 January 2016:

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 16: Leases

Annual improvements, 2014-2016 cycle

Amendment to IAS 7 Disclosure Initiative

Amendments to IAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or

Joint Venture

Amendments to IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions IFRIC 22: Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

Kerlink is currently conducting an assement of the impacts and practical consequences of applying IFRS 16 The

approximate impact on the balance sheet of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 may be assessed based on the

amount of lease commitments as of 31 December 2016, i.e.about €0.6M. See Note 6.1.

As for IFRS 15, the Company has multiple-item contracts (sale of hardware and support) for which the impacts are

currently under review.

2.4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

With a view to the preparation of the financial statements, Management may make estimates and assumptions

that have an impact on the application of accounting methods and the amounts of assets and liabilities, income

and expenses, and the information provided in the notes.

The underlying estimates and assumptions are based on past experience and other factors considered reasonable

in view of the circumstances.

They are also used as a basis for exercising judgement required to determine the carrying amounts of assets and

liabilities, which cannot be obtained directly from other sources.

The use of estimates and assumptions is particularly important for:

- The measurement of the progress-based profit of construction contracts;

- The recoverable value of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets, as well as their useful life;

- Measuring provisions and social commitments;

- The Research tax credit (CIR);

- The tax liabilities and recognition of deferred taxes.

IFRS

2.5. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets

Under IAS 38, acquired intangible assets are recognised at cost, on the assets side of the balance sheet. The

intangible assets are primarily Research & Development costs.

Research & Development Costs

Research costs are recorded as expenses when incurred.

Development costs are essentially costs incurred to develop products or protocols that result in one or more patents.

Thus, development costs are capitalised, if the six criteria set out by IAS 38 are met:

Technical feasibility,

Intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it,

Ability to use or sell it,

Probable future economic benefits,

Availability of resources,

Ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the project.

Capitalised development costs are only those costs that are directly attributable to a project, based on cost

tracking and analysis by project. The quota of the research tax credit and subsidies for the capitalised projects is

restated as subsidies and prepaid income

Implementation of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs did not lead to capitalising interest.

The Company regularly analyses compliance with capitalisation criteria. These costs are held on the assets side as

long as the Company retains most of the benefits and risks of the projects, and if the Company retains intellectual

property and has granted temporary use and/or operation rights to the results of the development phases.

Ongoing development projects undergo depreciation testing per the procedures defined in Note 2.6.

Capitalised costs are amortised using the straight-line method over the expected useful life for the company, which

is the same as the expected future economic beneficial life. This life is defined on a per-project basis, according to

the economic features specific to each development project.

Software

The costs of acquiring computer software, software, and licences are entered as assets on the basis of the costs

incurred to acquire and start up the relevant software.

Amortisation period and expense

The Company appraises whether the useful life of an intangible asset is finite or infinite.

Intangible assets having a finite life are amortised over their economic useful life and are tested for impairment any

time there is an indication that an intangible asset has been impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation

method of an intangible asset having a finite useful life are re-examined at the end of every financial year, at least.

The straight-line amortisation for the main intangible assets covers a period of:

- Capitalised development costs, 3-5 years.

- Software: 3 years

Derecognition of intangible assets

An intangible asset is derecognised when it is sold or when there is no future economic benefit expected from its

use or sale. The profit or loss resulting from the derecognition of an intangible asset (calculated as the difference

between the net proceeds from the sale of the asset and its carrying amount) is recognised as net income when

the asset is derecognised.

Property, plant & equipment

Property, plant & equipment are recorded at their acquisition (or internal production) cost lesstotal depreciation

and impairment.

Page 13

KERLINK COMPANY IFRS Company financial statements

IFRS

Assets are subject to projected depreciable lives based on the probable useful life and conditions of the goods as

generally acknowledged in the industry, in consideration of a residual value, and calculated according to the

straight-line method, or, generally:

- Fixtures and fittings: 9-14 years

- Office & Computer Equipment: 3-8 years

- Furniture: 3-5 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and, as appropriate, adjusted at the end of each financial

year. An asset's carrying amount is immediately written down to bring it back to its recoverable value if the asset's

carrying amount is higher than its estimated recoverable value.

2.6 IMPAIRMENT TESTING OF FIXED ASSETS

Impairment testing is carried out on property, plant & equipment and intangible fixed assets at the end of their

useful life or as soon as an indication of impairment appears. Impairment testing consists of comparing the asset's

carrying amount to its recoverable value. An asset's recoverable value is the higher of the two: fair value less selling

costs, or value in use. The value in use is based on the discounted future cash flows that will be generated by those

assets.

Intangible assets that are not yet ready for start-up undergo impairment testing at least once a year and any time

there is an indication that the asset may have been impaired.

The data used under the discounted projected cash flow method are taken from annual budgets and multi-year

plans prepared by Management. The plans consist of five-year projections. As for value in use, it is calculated on

the basis of the discounted value of future flows over the residual life of the development costs. The discount rate

of projected cash flows reflects the expected rate of return for an investor in the company's line of business and

the risk premium specific to our company.

2.7. FINANCE LEASES AND OPERATING LEASES

At 31 December 2016, the company was not bound by any finance leases. A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. For

operating leases, lease payments (excluding benefits obtained by the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a

straight-line basis over the life of the lease. When an operating lease ends before the lease period expires, the exit

fees are recognised as expenses of the period when the contract ended.

2.8. FINANCIAL ASSETS

Financial assets include:

- assets available for sale;

- assets held to maturity;

- loans and receivables;

- assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities are defined in IAS 39, Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement.

Assets held to maturity

These are exclusively fixed or determinable income securities with fixed maturities, other than loans and

receivables that the company intends and is able to hold until maturity. After their initial recognition at fair value,

they are measured and recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Assets held to maturity are tracked using an objective depreciation index. A financial asset is impairedif its

carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable value in impairment testing. Impairment is entered

under profit and loss.

KERLINK COMPANY IFRS Company financial statements

IFRS

Assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Assets considered to be held for trading include assets that the Company intends to sell in the near future to

generate a capital gain, that belong to a portfolio of instruments managed together and for which there is a

practice of short term selling.

Trading assets can also include assets voluntarily classified in this category, regardless of the criteria listed above.

Receivables

Receivables are measured at their nominal value. As appropriate they have been impaired through a provision to

account for the difficulties in recovery to that they may have caused.

Management regularly reviews and measures the recoverable value of client receivables. If the recoverable value

is less than the net carrying amount, a provision for impairment or bad debt is recognised under net income. This

measurement of credit risk is based on past experience in recovering receivables and payment default, the age

of the receivables overdue, and the payment terms extended.

2.9. INVENTORIES

Inventories are recognised at the lower of: cost and net realisable value

Supply inventories are valued using the weighted average unit cost method.

Semi-finished and finished products, and works in progress were measured at their standard production cost.

A provision for impairment was created each time the realisable value or the current market price was lower than

the inventory value.

2.10. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the balance sheet, the Cash and cash equivalents item includes the cash in banks and term deposits (with

maturities less than three months or dischargeable at any time).

Bank overdrafts are included in current liabilities in "Borrowings and financial debts."

For the purposes of the cash flow table, cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash equivalents as defined

above, net of bank loans and overdrafts.

2.11. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS Foreign currency transactions are converted to euro at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date. On the

closing date, monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are converted to euro at the closing exchange

rate. The resulting gains or losses on foreign exchange are recognised as income or loss for the period.

2.12. EQUITY AND CAPITAL INCREASE EXPENSES

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Classification as shareholders’ equity results from the specific analysis of the characteristics of each issued

instrument. Accordingly, preference shares have been classified as equity instruments.

According to IAS 32, external expenses directly linked to an issue of new shares other than for reacquiring are

accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax. It is recognized in this standard that if

the capital increase is carried out in conjunction with an IPO, the expenses incurred are apportioned reasonably

between the existing shares and the new shares. Only costs related to the issue of new shares are recorded as a

reduction of equity.

2.13. PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES AND CHARGES

Pursuant to IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Company records a provision at the

end of the reporting period for each event that fulfils all of the following conditions:

Page 15

KERLINK COMPANY IFRS Company financial statements

IFRS

The existence of a legal or constructive obligation resulting from an event occurring prior to the end of the

reporting period;

The probability or certainty that an outflow of funds to a third party will be necessary to settle the obligation

without compensation after the end of the reporting period;

The existence of a reliable valuation estimate.

The estimated value of provisions is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. Provisions are maintained for as

long as the company is unable to determine their outcome with clarity and certainty.

Excluding exceptional, duly substantiated cases, provisions are presented on the balance sheet under non-current

liabilities.

Provisions are discounted if necessary. For the Company, the impact of this rule concerns only provisions for

employee benefits.

Provisions for contingencies and losses relate primarily to litigation and other risks.

The amount recognised as a provision represents the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the

obligation. Management bases its judgement on the circumstances of each event and the available information.

However, given the difficulty of estimating certain commitments in these areas (particularly those of a social,

environmental or commercial nature), we cannot guarantee that the costs will not ultimately exceed the

provisioned amounts.

Provisions for warranty costs

A provision is made for costs to be incurred in future years to honour warranties for material sold. The costs incurred

represent the cost of labour and the cost of spare parts.

2.14. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Pension commitments

The Company's obligations with regard to compensation (as stipulated by legislation or in agreements) upon

retirement were evaluated on 31 December 2016 using the projected unit credit method. The method takes into

account the following actuarial assumptions:

- the estimated duration of future service by the employee;

- future salary;

- life expectancy;

- staff turnover.

The calculated obligation is discounted (using IBOXX Corporates AA 10+ index) and recognised according to the

years of service of employees, taking into account the corresponding social security contributions.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as other comprehensive income.

Long-service awards

The Company does not recognise commitments for long-service awards because they represent an immaterial

amount.

Individual Right to Training

The Company does not recognise the application of the Individual Right to Training (Droit individuel à la

formation/DIF) as it does not meet the criteria for liabilities, given that the training activity relates not to past services

but to services to be rendered in the future by employees.

BSPCE plans

The Company grants stock options in the form of “share options for business creators” (Bons de souscription de parts

de créateur d'entreprise/BSPCE). The fair value of the services provided by the employees in order to receive the

option discount is recognised as an expense over the vesting period, offset by an equity account entry. Income

net of transaction costs is credited to share capital (nominal value) and other reserves when the options are

exercised.

Page 16

KERLINK COMPANY IFRS Company financial statements

IFRS

Employee bonuses

The Company recognises a liability and a personnel expense for bonuses according to calculation formulas that

take into account the earnings of the companies in question. The Company recognises a provision when there is a

contractual obligation or if a constructive obligation exists due to a past practice.

2.15 STOCK OPTION AND SIMILAR PLANS

Some employees of the Company receive compensation in the form of share-based payment through a “share

options for business creators” (Bons de souscription de parts de créateur d'entreprise/BSPCE) plan.

Pursuant to IFRS 2, the cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised as an expense for the period in which the

rights to the equity instruments are acquired, against a corresponding increase in equity.

If an employee leaves the Company during the vesting period, the expenses previously recorded for the employee

pursuant to IFRS 2 are reversed for the financial year. Kerlink has implemented IFRS 2 for all equity instruments

granted since the Company's creation.

The fair value of the granted options is determined by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model.

Note 5.13 presents these items in detail.

2.16. Borrowings and financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method, net of transaction costs incurred if they are material.

The Company has taken out various loans and credit lines.

The Company has conducted a specific review of its liquidity risk and believes that it is able to meet its future

commitments.

In March 2016, the Company entered into a factoring contract. According to IAS 39, in order to determine whether

the transfer of receivables to the factoring company results in derecognition of receivables and payables, the

entity's exposure to the risks and benefits associated with the transfer of credit assets. Since the contract signed by

the Company is not without recourse, the assets cannot be derecognised and are therefore valued as trade

receivables in exchange for financial debts

2.17. PUBLIC SUBSIDIES RECEIVABLE

The Company receives several forms of public assistance, namely conditional advances and subsidies. This

assistance is detailed in Note 5.10.

Repayable advances

The Company obtains non-interest-bearing repayable advances for the financing of its collaborative projects and

certain research and development projects. The difference between the present value of the advance at the

market rate (i.e. the principal ultimately repaid in the absence of interest flows, adjusted at the market rate) and

the amount received in cash from the public body constitutes a subsidy as defined in IAS 20. This difference must

be recorded as a subsidy related to income insofar as the research and development costs generated as part of

the project are recognised immediately as expenses, and is recorded as income in the statement of comprehensive

income.

The financial cost of the repayable advances calculated at the market rate is subsequently posted to financial

expenses.

Subsidies are presented in the income statement as a deduction from “Research and Development Expenses” as

they constitute assistance for innovation and the financing of research activities.

Subsidies

Subsidies received are recorded as soon as the corresponding receivable becomes reasonably certain, taking into

account the conditions set for the granting of the subsidy.

Operating subsidies are recorded in “Research and Development Expenses”, taking into account, where

applicable, the timing of the corresponding expenses in accordance with the principle of matching expenses to

income.

2.18. SECTOR INFORMATION

Pursuant to IFRS 8-Operating Segments, the sector information presented is established on the basis of the internal

reporting data used to analyse the performance of activities and the allocation of resources by the Management

Committee, which is comprised of the CEO, CFO, CTIO and CSO and constitutes Kerlink's main operational decision-

making body.

Internal reporting is defined along two main lines: sector of activity (public operators, private operators and

Reference Design) and sales type (products, services, licences, expertise). The sectors of activity have been

designated by Kerlink as the main areas for analysis by the main operational decision-making body. Accordingly,

and pursuant to IFRS 8, the Company presents the sectors of activity as operating segments, covering:

Public infrastructure (products and services): The “Public Operators” activity encompasses sales of network

solutions for the Internet of Things and associated products and services to operators using a network that

is open to customers or providing customers with electronic communications services.

Private infrastructure (products and services): The “Private Operators” activity encompasses sales of

network solutions for the Internet of Things and associated products and services to entities seeking to

create electronic communications networks reserved for the use of one or multiple persons constituting a

closed user group for the purposes of exchanging internal communications within the group.

Reference Design (service): The “Reference Design” activity encompasses sales to meter manufacturers

that include a Kerlink reference design (hardware and software) in the original assembly of their product.

This design incorporates all of the high-performance embedded technologies developed by Kerlink (radio,

consumption, software stack, etc.) and enables the manufacturer to access the market more quickly with

a proven solution.

The Management Committee evaluates the performance of these sectors on the basis of revenue and EBITDA. As

the assets and liabilities connected to these sectors are not covered in a specific report to the Management

Committee, no information is presented by operating segment in the notes within the scope of IFRS 8.

Financial data by operating segment is compiled according to the same rules as those used for IFRS financial

statements. The information provided with regard to these sectors is not reported on a consolidated basis.

2.19. PRESENTATION OF THE INCOME STATEMENT

Kerlink presents its income statement by function, as defined in Recommendation 2013-03 of the ANC (France's

accounting standards authority). Details on income and expenses are provided in Notes 4.1 and 4.2.

Purchasing costs and sub-contracting

Purchasing costs and sub-contracting consist essentially of:

purchases of components and other products necessary for the production of the goods sold;

third party services for the manufacture, assembly and testing of the goods sold;

customs duties, transport costs and other taxes directly attributable to these purchases;

the cost of outside personnel, IT hosting and telephone lines directly attributable to the sale of services.

EBITDA

EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortisation) is an indicator that measures the contribution

from business activity before the amortisation and depreciation of fixed assets.

Operating profit/loss

Operating profit/loss encompasses all of the income and expenses directly linked to the Company's activities,

whether they are recurring or the result of one-time decisions or operations.

Net cost of financial debt

All of the expenses and income resulting from the net financial debt during the period, representing the Company's

overall cost of financing, excluding the cost of equity.

IFRS

2.20. REVENUE

The main types of contracts identified at the Company are contracts pertaining to the sale of products in series

(base stations, gateways, concentrators, etc.), contracts pertaining to the provision of services (mainly related to

research and development) and licensing agreements. In the course of its operations, the Company also signs

multiple-element arrangements for goods and services, which may correspond to a combination of different

services. In such instances, the revenue is recognised separately for each element provided they are separately

identifiable.

Contracts for the sale of products

Pursuant to IAS 18, revenue is only recognised if the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and

rewards of ownership and if it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to

the company. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of any discounts and

rebates and excluding VAT and other taxes.

Contracts related to research and development

With regard to contracts pertaining to research and development, revenue is recognised if:

- the stage of completion can be measured reliably;

- the costs incurred, or to be incurred, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

The earnings on contracts for the rendering of research and development services are recorded by reference to

the stage of completion. The stage of completion is determined by comparing the costs incurred to date to the

total cost provided for in the contract. If the earnings on a contract cannot be estimated reliably, the revenue is

recognised only to the extent of the incurred costs of the contract that are expected to be recoverable.

Licensing agreements

The licensing agreements in use pertain exclusively to software. The revenue related to the royalties collected on

the basis of the number of items deployed is recognised as and when it is acquired.

2.21 RESEARCH TAX CREDIT

Research tax credits are awarded to companies by the French government to encourage them to carry out

technical and scientific research. Companies that evidence expenses that meet the required criteria are eligible

for a tax credit that may be used toward the payment of the corporate tax due for the financial year in which the

expenses are incurred and the following three financial years. If applicable, the remaining portion is reimbursed.

The research tax credit is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as a deduction from “Research

and Development Expenses”.

2.22. TAXES

The income tax expense is comprised of current tax and deferred tax. Deferred taxes are stated for all temporary

differences resulting from the difference between the tax base and accounting base for assets and liabilities

disclosed in the financial statements. The main temporary differences are related to tax loss carryforwards.

Current taxes are calculated according to the tax rates (and tax regulations) enacted or substantively enacted at

the reporting date. The tax rate used to calculate deferred taxes is 33.33% for the reporting periods ended 31

December 2014 and 31 December 2015. For the reporting period ended 31 December 2016, the rate used is 28%.

This change is due to the French Draft Finance Law for 2017, adopted on 29 December 2016, which stipulates a

reduction of the corporate tax rate to 28%, is to be phased in between 2017 and 2020.

Deferred tax assets are recorded if there is a high probability that tax expenses will be set against future taxable

earnings. In assessing the Company's ability to recover these assets, forecasts of future taxable profits and records

of taxable income for previous years are taken into account. Deferred tax assets are only recognised if it likely that

future profits will be sufficient to absorb the losses carried forward. For financial years 2014, 2015 and 2016, the

Company did not recognise deferred tax assets generated by tax loss carryforwards as it is not possible to determine

the date on which Kerlink will record profits with sufficient certainty.

KERLINK COMPANY IFRS Company financial statements

IFRS

On the income statement, the CICE tax credit for competitiveness and employment is deducted from personnel

expenses (Note 4.3), and the CVAE (value-added contribution for businesses) is included as part of “other

expenses” under “Administrative Expenses” (Note 4.2).

2.23. METHODS FOR CALCULATING EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average

number of shares outstanding during the financial year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted

average number of shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for the impact of the conversion of

dilutive securities into ordinary shares. The Company uses the following categories of dilutive securities: stock

options.

2.24. MANAGEMENT AND EVALUATION OF FINANCIAL RISK

Kerlink may become exposed to different kinds of financial risk.

The Company employs simple methods appropriate to its size to limit the potentially unfavourable impacts from

these risks to its financial standing.

The Company affirms that it does not use financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest rate risk

The Company does not have material exposure to interest rate risk as it has not incurred any variable-rate debt.

Foreign exchange risk

The main risks associated with the impacts of foreign currency exchange are deemed immaterial. This is because

the Company pays only a very small number of suppliers in foreign currencies. The Company does not have a bank

account in US dollars.

At this stage of its development, the Company has not used hedging to protect its business against exchange rate

fluctuation.

Its foreign exchange risk concerns only the settlement of operating expenses for its Singapore subsidiary. This

subsidiary's purpose is to pursue business development for the Group in the Asia-Pacific region. It is fully financed by

the parent company, with which it has established a service provision agreement.

Liquidity risk

Since its creation, the Company has financed its growth through the strengthening of its capital base, employing

successive capital increases, bonds convertible into shares, bonds redeemable for shares, public assistance for

innovation (BPI repayable advances), the repayment of receivables associated with the research tax credit and

bank loans.

The Company is not exposed to liquidity risk related to the potential exercise of early redemption clauses on bank

loans.

The Company monitors its risk of liquidity shortages on a regular basis through monitoring mechanisms.

Credit risk

The exposure to credit risk is associated with the research tax credit, cash and cash equivalents and accounts

receivable:

- Receivables associated with the research tax credit present a credit risk that is deemed immaterial in view of

the Company's history;

- With regard to its cash investments, the Company deals with leading financial institutions and therefore does

not bear material credit risk associated with cash flow. A factoring agreement was signed on 4 March 2016;

- With regard to accounts receivable, credit risk exists in that a loss may occur if a customer fails to honour its

commitments within the agreed timeframe. This credit risk associated with accounts receivable is limited due

to internal procedures in place and the signing of a credit insurance policy with COFACE on 3 March 2016.

Revenue increased by 90% to € 14.1 million, compared to € 7.4 million for financial year 2015. This strong growth

momentum, which is totally organic, is perfectly in line with the Company’s operating plan announced at the time

of its IPO on the Alternext Paris market in May 2016.

The excellent performances of the year were carried by both public operators and private operators. The

intensification of commercial actions towards public operators (historical and alternative telecoms operators),

initiated at the end of 2014, began to measure up with sales up sharply.

As announced, the Reference Design offer recorded its first revenues in 2016.

Thanks to the increase in the volume of activity in the Private Infrastructure segment, EBITDA remains positive despite

the increase in overheads.

EBITDA in the Public Infrastructure segment is in deficit given the large investments made to gain market share and

take strategic positions.

With the signing of several contracts, public utilities have increased significantly (+ 650% of revenue) and now

represent 37% of the Company's revenue (compared with 9% in 2015).

revenue versus 19% in 2015.

More specifically, revenue in the Europe area rose sharply to € 2.9m, up from € 1.2m in 2015 (+ 134%). With revenue

of € 450 k at the end of 2016, the Company also strengthened its positions in the Asia geographic area. Finally, in

The Company invoiced more than 260 customers in 55 countries during 2016, compared with just over 120 in 34

Historical customers renew their trust year after year and continue the deployment of the Company's recognized

4.1. REVENUE

Revenue include sales of products and services. They are measured at the fair value of the consideration

receivable, net of any trade discounts and volume rebates and excluding any VAT or other taxes.

Sales of reference design 153 - -

Total revenue 14,117 7,429 90% 5,241 42%

The distribution of sales by nature obviously varies in favor of equipment sales.

This development, in line with the Company's operating plan, is driven by the sales of the new IoT infrastructure,

which is simple to use and open to a maximum of uses, which have received a very favorable reception from

Private and public operators. Historic equipment sales in M2M are also up in financial year 2016.

In financial year 2015, the Company experienced a strong level of activity on sales of services, due in particular to:

- The realization of the development of specific solutions for certain customers, for an amount of €1,235k. Today,

the progress of these projects allows the deployment of equipment on the ground.

- The deployment of a system of relief of hearings in India, for an amount of €234k

As a result, in 2016, the Company recorded an unfavorable base effect. IoT offers of services are up by 42%.

Accrued interest 0 291 0

Bonds redeemable in shares 0 2,550 0

On 29 June, 2015, Kerlink’s historic shareholders subscribed to Bonds Redeemable for Shares (ORAs) in order to

enable the Company to prepare, under the best possible conditions, a capital increase scheduled for 2016.

Pursuant to the ORAs contract, the redemption was effected by the delivery of a variable number of shares,

justifying the presentation of the ORA in liabilities. As a result, as at 31 December 2015, the amount associated with

the ORAs was treated as a non-current liability in the financial statements. Nevertheless, these bonds were

automatically repaid in shares at the time of the capital increase, at the share value stipulated forthe IPO.

The main characteristics of the ORAsare as follows:

255,000 Bonds issued at a price of €10 each

18 months; End 31 December 2016

Redeemable in shares with a par value of €1.30

Annual fixed interest of 23%.

The contract also provides for two cases of prepayment:

- Capital increase in cash or in kind in excess of € 3,000,000 with a price per share higher than the

reference price,

- Acquisition of at least 95% of the Company's shares, including the shares resulting from the repayment of

the bonds, following an offer to purchase accepted by shareholders representing more than 75% of the

Company's capital (Sale of control) with a price per share higher than the reference price.

Pursuant to the ORA contract, the redemption will be effected by the delivery of a variable number of shares,

justifying the presentation of the ORA in liabilities.

The discount rate is calculated by reference to the market rate as at 31 December, based on the average rates of

return on Tier 1 corporate bonds, including the IBOXX Corporates AA Index.

The liability is recorded in the balance sheet as a non-current liability for the total commitment amount.

The Company does not cover the retirement benefit obligation through payments to a fund. There is therefore no

rate of return on the corresponding assets.

Financial guarantees given and received on borrowing

The liabilities and borrowings listed below are already included in the Company’s balance sheet. The following table

only repeats these amounts when these borrowings are secured by securities.

The commitments received correspond to the guarantees of BPI France Financement on borrowings secured by the

Company up to a certain quota.

Financement 185 185 383

Under certain financings agreements, the Company pledged as collateral its business value (goodwill and

customer base – “Fonds de commerce”) to the lending institutions in order to guarantee the repayment of the said

loans

Individual training allocation

Until 2014 the French law provided for each employee an individual training allocation (DIF) of 20 hours per year.

2014 was 3,142 hours compared with 2,605 hours in 2013.

A change in the system introduced in 2015 has the effect of transforming the DIF into a personal training account

(CPF). The CPF is outsourced to the OPCA (FAFIEC) and as a result the company no longer has an off-balance sheet

obligation

Other contractual obligations given
