engaged in the research, development and marketing of therapeutic solutions focused on patient needs. Sanofi has fundamental strengths in the healthcare field, operating via seven growth platforms: Diabetes Solutions, Human Vaccines, Innovative
Products, Consumer Health Care, Emerging Markets, Animal Health and New Genzyme. Sanofi, the parent company of the Group, is a soci t anonyme (a form of limited liability company) incorporated under the laws of France. The
registered office is at 54, rue La Bo tie, 75008 Paris.
Sanofi is listed in Paris (Euronext: SAN) and New York (NYSE: SNY).
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were reviewed by the Sanofi Board of
Directors at the Board meeting on July 25, 2012.
A Basis of preparation and accounting policies
FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)
The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in condensed
format in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The accompanying notes therefore relate to significant events and transactions of the period, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2011.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2012 comply with international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Except for the change described in Note A.1.1., the accounting
policies applied as of June 30, 2012 are identical to those described in the notes to the published consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
IFRSs endorsed by the European Union as of June 30, 2012 can be accessed under the heading IAS/IFRS Standards and Interpretations
http://ec.europa.eu/internal market/accounting/ias/index en.htm
standards and amendments applicable in the period
The new standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations issued by the
IASB and mandatorily applicable with effect from the 2012 financial year are listed below; they have no impact on the Group s consolidated financial statements:
8 | 2012 Half-Year Financial Report Sanofi
A.1.2. New standards and amendments applicable in 2013
The principal new standards and amendments that will be applicable to Sanofi from 2013 are:
A description of these standards and amendments, and of the expected impact of applying them, is provided in Note B.28. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Of the texts listed above, only the amended IAS 19 has already been endorsed by the European Union. In June 2012, the Accounting
Regulatory Committee (ARC) issued a recommendation that the first five of the texts listed above should be mandatorily applicable for annual financial periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014 at the latest, with an option for early
adoption. Sanofi expects to apply these standards and amendments with effect from January 1, 2013.
standards, interpretations and amendments issued in the first half of 2012
In March 2012, the IASB issued an amendment to
IFRS 1, dealing with government loans. This amendment relates to first-time adoption of IFRS, and hence does not apply to Sanofi.
In May 2012, the IASB issued the 2009-2011 cycle of Annual Improvements to IFRSs, consisting of six amendments applicable to annual financial
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013; these amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. Two of them relate to first-time adoption of IFRS, and hence do not apply to Sanofi. The others deal with:
Sanofi does not expect the application of these amendments to have any impact on the Group.
A.2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions based on information available at the date
of the finalization of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent
liabilities as at the date of the review of the financial statements. Examples of estimates and assumptions include:
For half-year financial reporting purposes, and as allowed under IAS 34, Sanofi has determined income tax expense on the basis of an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full financial year. This rate is
applied to Income before tax and associates and joint ventures. The estimated effective tax rate is based on the tax rates that will be applicable to projected pre-tax profits or losses arising in the various tax jurisdictions in which
Actual results could vary from these estimates.
A.3. SEASONAL TRENDS
Sanofi s activities are not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.
