Management report

PRESENTATION OF EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2020

  1. Comments concerning the consolidated income statement

Revenues reached €8.3 million against €11.9 million in the first semester 2019 (corresponding to a decrease of 30%). This decrease of the revenue is explained by the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic and the lockdown of a majority of the European population which had an immediate impact on household consumption and on the marketing expenses of advertisers.

Indeed, in the second half of March, the group's activity is in very severe decline in France compared to the previous year. With lags of a few weeks, the trend is the same in all the countries where AdUX is located. The decline was confirmed and accentuated in April and May 2020. As a consequence of this decline in activity, cost-saving measures, in particular the use of partial unemployment, were implemented in the main countries where the business of AdUX is established.

Despite a decline in activity, the margin rate is relatively stable. It reaches 45% in the first half of 2020 versus 47% in the first half of 2019.

Purchases, which amount to 1.3 million of euros, have decreased compared to the first half of 2019 (2.4 million of euros), this is the result of savings measures implemented by the company following the crisis sanitary.

Depreciation and amortization, for 0.8 million of euros, are mainly the result of investments induced by the continued development of technological platforms and include the impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 (see note 8).

Current operating profit before stock based compensation and free bonus shares and without including other non-current products and costs amounts to -€1.1 million.

Net income of the consolidated companies amounts to -€0.9 million (versus -€2 million for the 2019 first semester).

This net result can be detailed as follow:

  • EBITDA of -€0.4 million (vs. -€0.9 million in the first half of 2019)
  • The current operating profit of -€1.1 million (vs. -€1.7 million in the first half of 2019)
  • A non-operating income of +€0.3 million (against -€0.1 million in the first half of 2019)
  • And a tax expense of -€0.1 million (against -€0.1 million in the first half of 2019).
  1. Internal developments and innovations

Capitalized development costs during the period mainly correspond to:

  • The continuation of developments for the lunch of the Quantum platform,
  • The continuation of developments for Admoove platform,

III. Significant events of the period

Azerion Holding B.V., since December 30th, 2019, holds 54.95% of the share capital of AdUX.

On January 31st, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated duties of Chief Executive Officer of Mr. Cyril Zimmermann.

The Company's Board of Directors decided to dissociate the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. It has appointed Mr. Salih Hikmet Cosgun as Chief Executive Officer from February 1st, 2020 for an indefinite period and has appointed Mr. Trond Dale as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the remainder of his term as director.

Following the resignations of Azerion Holding B.V., represented by Mr. Atilla Aytekin, and Mr. Umut Akpinar, from their directorship on January 31st, 2020, Azerion Holding B.V. is now solely represented at the Board of Directors by Ms. Kyra Steegs. The Board of Directors therefore consists of a representative of Holding B.V., Ms. Kyra Steegs, an independent personality, Mrs. Catharina Hillstrom, and its Chairman, Trond Dale.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 4

On April 30th, 2020, Admoove sold its platform MaPubFacile for 1€. The net book value of this platform in the financial statements, on April 30th, 2020 was 0.2 million euros.

On June 30th, 2020, AdUX sold AdMoove Sweden AB for €315,000, of which €10,000 will be paid in cash and €305,000 settled by offsetting the debt of AdUX toward its former subsidiary. The activity of this subsidiary had dropped very significantly and had become loss-making following the loss of its main contract during the summer of 2018. This event had led to the depreciation of the entire goodwill attached to this activity in the Group's financial statements in 2018 for a total amount of €8.5 million. In the first quarter of 2020, AdMoove Sweden had not returned to profitability and generated around €0.2 million of revenue. This sale is part of the Group's desire to regain profitability by focusing on its main activities in the countries where it has critical size.

Others events

AdUX reimbursed the loans contracted on July 19th, 2019 and October 3rd, 2019 with Azerion on May 5th, 2020.

The company Adysseum contracted a €400,000 loan guaranteed by the State from BNP on June 19th, 2020.

IV.

Event posterior of the closing

It is recalled that on June 21st, 2016, AdUX had assigned a publisher as well as agencies having taken over the marketing of advertising space from this publisher due to:

  • wrongful termination of the advertising network and partnership contract concluded with the publisher; and
  • the transfer of the effects of this contract to other agencies.

To this end, AdUX, among others things, claimed from these various companies the sum of €2.4 million.

In 2019, the Paris Commercial Court condemned the publisher for abusive breach of contract to pay €1 million and ordered provisional execution.

AdUX served the judgment.

The publisher appealed the judgment.

An insolvency proceedings against the publisher was opened on August 1st, 2019. AdUX declared its claim as a liability of the publisher.

On July 21st, 2020, the dispute with the publisher was brought to an end by the signature of a settlement agreement in return for which AdUX will receive the sum of 80,000 euros and the publisher will withdraw from the appeal procedure.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 5

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES CHARACTERISING THE SECOND HALF OF 2020

The main risks to which the Group is exposed are detailed in the Board of Directors' Management Report (Section V - Risk Management) presented in the 2019 annual report. The Company is not aware of other risks and uncertainties affecting the Group.

PROSPECTS

The health crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic and the lockdown of the majority of the European population had an immediate impact on household consumption and on the marketing expenses of advertisers. As of March 2020, many advertising campaigns have been cancelled or postponed to September 2020. In the second half of March, the group's activity is in very severe decline in France compared to the previous year. With lags of a few weeks, the trend is the same in all the countries where AdUX is located. The decline was confirmed and accentuated in April and May 2020. The month of June seems to indicate a recovery which needs to be confirmed in September 2020 after the summer months which are traditionally marked by low seasonal activity.

The Company therefore has little visibility on the way out of the crisis and the restart of the market. Consequently, cost-saving measures, in particular recourse to short-time working, have been implemented (see 3.4. Continuity of operations). It is too early at this stage to assess the impact of this crisis on the profitability of the company for the whole of the 2020 financial year, but it is probable that the Company will not be in a position to achieve growth over the full year.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 12

Notes concerning the Group's summary consolidated interim financial statements

Note 1. Accounting principles and methods

  1. Preparation bases for the summary financial statements

The interim financial statements for the 1st half of 2020 are to be read as a complement to the audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31, 2019 as published in the annual report on May 4th, 2020.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30th, 2020 are established in accordance with the accounting and valuation principles of the IFRS international accounting standards adopted by the European Union. Those international accounting standards consist of the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), of the IAS (International Accounting Standards), as well as of their interpretations adopted by the European Union on June 30th, 2020 (publication in the Official Journal of the European Union).

The interim consolidated financial statements for the half-year ending on June 30th, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of standard IAS 34 concerning "Interim financial information".

AdUX Group's consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of AdUX S.A. and of its subsidiaries (the whole being designated as "the Group"), as well as the Group's holdings in its affiliated companies or companies under joint control. They are presented in thousands of euro.

The interim consolidated financial statements dated June 30th, 2020 as well as the notes relating thereto have been established on the responsibility of the Board of Directors, and were closed out at its meeting held on July 28th, 2020.

  1. Accounting principles and valuation methods

AdUX Group has applied the same accounting methods as in its consolidated financial statements for the financial year ending on December 31st, 2019.

  1. Use of estimates and judgments

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS standards requires Management to take account of estimates and of assumptions for determination of the amounts to be posted with regard to certain assets, liabilities, income and charges, as well as of certain information provided in notes attached to the assets and liabilities, in particular :

  • The goodwill and the related depreciation tests,
  • The intangible assets acquired,
  • The deferred tax credits,
  • The depreciation of receivables,
  • The provisions for risk,
  • The charge for stock options and free shares.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are developed on the basis of past experience and other factors, such as events to come, considered reasonable in light of the circumstances. They are also used as the basis for exercise of the judgment necessary for determination of the book values of assets and liabilities, which cannot be obtained directly from other sources. In view of the inherently uncertain nature of these valuation procedures, the definitive amounts may prove to be different from the ones initially estimated.

The estimates and the underlying assumptions are continuously reconsidered. The impact of the changes in accounting estimates is directly entered in the accounting during the period of the change if it affects only said period, or during the period of change and in subsequent periods if they are also affected by the change.

www.adux.com

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 13

  1. Continuity of operations

It is recalled in section "3.4. Continuity of operations" of the 2019 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2019 that following the approval of the safeguard plan by the Paris Commercial Court on December 4th, 2019 and the completion of the increase capital on December 30th, 2019, the uncertainty regarding the Group's going concern was reduced.

As in previous closings, the Group forecasts cash flow over a rolling year. In the current context of the health crisis linked to Covid-19, the latest versions of the cash flow plans, taking into account the cash flow situation and the outlook until June 31st, 2021, are based on the following main assumptions:

  • 2020 revenue lower than in 2019, resulting of an activity in the second quarter of 2020 much lower than the second quarter of 2019, and of a gradual restart of activity in the second half of 2020. The Group expects a rebound in activity in the first semester 2021 allowing to it to return to similar levels in the first half of 2019.
  • Cost saving measures, particularly in France with the implementation of short-time working and the freezing of certain direct variable costs.
  • Regarding cash flows, Bpifrance has suspended the calls for capital and interests terms for a period of 6 months.

Next payment due of €120k for the zero-interest financing for innovation is scheduled for the 1st of January 2021.

  • In addition, as part of the mechanism announced by the President of the Republic on March 16th, 2020, the Group obtained a State guaranteed loan of €400k for its subsidiary Adysseum. Discussions with its relational banks are still underway regarding other subsidiaries for the granting of State guaranteed loans for an amount estimated for the moment of € 500K.

The current health crisis creates uncertainty with regard to the main operational assumptions described above. However, taking into account the main assumptions described above, the AdUX Group considers that it will be able to meet the deadlines to come by June 30th, 2021.

An impairment test is implemented when a loss value exists at the time of the half-year closing period, in accordance with the procedures defined in Note 10 of the appendix to the consolidated financial statements dated on December 31st, 2019.

Following a significant deterioration in the economic environment these last months, especially because of the health crisis linked to the COVID-19 epidemic, the group decided to proceed to an impairment test on all CGUs.

As of June 30th, 2020, an impairment test on all of these CGUs was carried out according to the same procedures as on December 31st, 2019. This procedure, mainly based on the discounted future net cash flow method, consists of the assessment of the recoverable value of each entity generating its own cash flows.

The main assumptions used to determine the value of the cash-generating unit are as follows:

  • valuation method of the cash-generating unit: value in use,
  • number of years over which cash flows are estimated and projected to infinity: 4 years (2020-2023 normative),
  • long-termgrowth rate: 2.5% (2.5% in 2019),
  • Europe discount rate: 11.2% (11.2% in 2019),
  • revenue growth rate: between + 5% and + 26% per year over the period 2020-2023 (+ 5% and + 25% in 2019), depending on the country, activities and new product launches.

www.adux.com

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 17

The growth in revenue has been estimated including all the elements available at the date of performance of the impairment tests. Indeed, following the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic and the lockdown of the majority of the European population which had an impact on the marketing expenses of advertisers, the Company has little visibility on the way out of crisis and the restart of the market. As of March 2020, many advertising campaigns were canceled or postponed to September 2020. In the second half of March, the group's activity was in very severe decline in France compared to the previous year. With lags of a few weeks, the trend is the same in all the countries where AdUX is located. The decrease was confirmed and accentuated in April and May 2020.

The month of June seems to indicate a recovery that needs to be confirmed in September 2020 after the summer months which are traditionally marked by low seasonal activity. The company has thus a rapid recovery for its activity, with "Drive to Store" and "Native Advertising" returning to their 2019 level in 2021.

The discount rate corresponds to the weighted average cost of capital. It was calculated by the company according to the standards on the basis of sectoral data, and the market data source for the beta, the risk-free rate, the risk premium and the debt.

The long-term growth rate is an average estimated with a representative sample from market sources.

A sensitivity analysis calculating the variation in key parameters did not point to any likely scenario in which the recoverable value of a CGU will become less than its book value. The key parameters variations used for the sensitivity analysis are presented below:

Note 8. IFRS 16

This accounting standard considers all lease contracts under a single model by which a lease contract is accounted for as a liability (discounted future payments), and a right of use is accounting for as an asset. The right of use will be amortized over the period of the lease contract (taking into account option periods during which the exercise is reasonably certain).

Contracts committed by AdUX for which this accounting standard applies, are:

  • Mainly, real-estate leases: AdUX is a tenant of the offices in most cities where the Group operates,
  • And to a lesser extent, vehicles and IT hardware leases.

The discount rates applied are based on the Group's estimated marginal borrowing rate per currency based on market data available at that date. The weighted average marginal borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 for all rental debts amounts to 8%.

The Group has also chosen to use the two capitalization exemptions proposed by the standard on contracts with a maturity up to twelve months and / or leases of assets with an individual value of less than US $ 5,000.

Receivables sold to third parties (factoring agreement) are retained in the Group's assets as the risks and benefits associated are not transferred to these third parties. In particular, the factoring company does not bear the credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of non-recovery of the receivable. In the context of contracts signed with Group entities, credit risk is managed by these entities, which means that the Group is exposed to the risk of recovering the invoice.

Non executive officers' compensation is only composed of attendance fees for 15.167€.

  1. Transactions with the subsidiaries

AdUX SA invoices its subsidiaries for adserving fees, management fees as well as brand fess, eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

  1. Other affiliated parties

During the first half of 2020, no significant operation other than described above, in the section "Significant events of the period" and in the section "Loans and financial liabilities", has not been realized with :

  • shareholders holding a significant voting right in the AdUX S.A. capital,
  • members of the managing boards, including the administrators,
  • entities over which one of the main directors or shareholders exercise control, or notable influence, or hold a significant voting right.

Note 17.Significant events of the period

Azerion Holding B.V., since December 30th, 2019, holds 54.95% of the share capital of AdUX.

On January 31st, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated duties of Chief Executive Officer of Mr. Cyril Zimmermann.

The Company's Board of Directors decided to dissociate the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. It has appointed Mr. Salih Hikmet Cosgun as Chief Executive Officer from February 1st, 2020 for an indefinite period and has appointed Mr. Trond Dale as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the remainder of his term as director.

www.adux.com

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 24

Following the resignations of Azerion Holding B.V., represented by Mr. Atilla Aytekin, and Mr. Umut Akpinar, from their directorship on January 31st, 2020, Azerion Holding B.V. is now solely represented at the Board of Directors by Ms. Kyra Steegs. The Board of Directors therefore consists of a representative of Holding B.V., Ms. Kyra Steegs, an independent personality, Mrs. Catharina Hillstrom, and its Chairman, Trond Dale.

On June 30th, 2020, AdUX sold AdMoove Sweden AB for €315,000, of which €10,000 will be paid in cash and €305,000 settled by offsetting the debt of AdUX toward its former subsidiary. The activity of this subsidiary had dropped very significantly and had become loss-making following the loss of its main contract during the summer of 2018. This event had led to the depreciation of the entire goodwill attached to this activity in the Group's financial statements in 2018. In the first quarter of 2020, AdMoove Sweden had not returned to profitability and generated around €0.2 million in turnover. This sale is part of the Group's desire to regain profitability by focusing on its main activities in the countries where it has critical size.

Other events

AdUX reimbursed the loans contracted on July 19th, 2019 and October 3rd, 2019 with Azerion on May 5th, 2020.

The company Adysseum contracted a €400,000 loan guaranteed by the State from BNP on June 19th, 2020.

Note 18.Events following closing period

It is recalled that on June 21st, 2016, AdUX had assigned a publisher as well as agencies having taken over the marketing of advertising space from this publisher due to:

  • wrongful termination of the advertising network and partnership contract concluded with the publisher; and
  • the transfer of the effects of this contract to other agencies.

To this end, AdUX, among others things, claimed from these various companies the sum of €2.4 million.

In 2019, the Paris Commercial Court condemned the publisher for abusive breach of contract to pay €1 million and ordered provisional execution.

AdUX served the judgment.

The publisher appealed the judgment.

An insolvency proceedings against the publisher was opened on August 1st, 2019. AdUX declared its claim as a liability of the publisher.

On July 21st, 2020, the dispute with the publisher was brought to an end by the signature of a settlement agreement in return for which AdUX will receive the sum of 80,000 euros and the publisher will withdraw from the appeal procedure.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 26

Statutory auditors' review report on the 2020 half-year financial information

Period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors' review report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your shareholders meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code (code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of AdUX, for the six months ended June 30, 2020
  • the verification of the information contained in the half-year management report.

These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors on July 28, 2020 , based on information available at that date in the evolving context of the COVID-19 crisis and difficulties in understanding its impacts and future prospects. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, the standard of IFRSs as adopted by the European union applicable to interim financial information.

Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the following matter described in Note 1. iv. "Continuity of operations" to the consolidated financial information relating to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Specific verification

We have also verified the information given in the half-year management report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements prepared on July 28, 2020 subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements.
