Sanofi is a diversified global healthcare leader engaged in the research, development and marketing of therapeutic solutions focused on patient needs. Sanofi has fundamental strengths in the healthcare field,
operating via six growth platforms: emerging markets, diabetes, human vaccines, consumer health care (CHC), animal health and new products.
At the Annual General Meeting held on May 6, 2011, the shareholders approved a change in our company name from sanofi-aventis to Sanofi .
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 174, avenue de France, 75013 Paris, France.
Sanofi is listed in Paris (Euronext: SAN) and
New York (NYSE: SNY).
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended June 30, 2011 were reviewed by the
Sanofi Board of Directors at the Board meeting on July 27, 2011.
A.1. Basis of preparation of the half-year consolidated financial statements and accounting policies
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, 2010.
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 have been prepared in compliance with standards and interpretations
adopted by the European Union and with those issued by the IASB. Except for the changes described in Notes A.1.1. and A.1.3., the accounting policies applied as of June 30, 2011 are identical to those described in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
IFRSs adopted by the European Union as of June 30, 2011 can be
accessed under the heading IAS/IFRS Standards and Interpretations at:
A.1.1. New standards and amendments applicable in the period

Table of Contents

A.1.2. New standards, interpretations and amendments issued in the first half of 2011
In May 2011, the IASB issued five pronouncements designed to improve the principles applied in the preparation of consolidated financial statements
and the disclosure requirements for joint arrangements and for any type of entity in which an interest is held:
Two existing standards IAS 27 (Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements), and IAS 28 (Investments in Associates) were amended, to bring them into line with the changes introduced by the publication of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12.
These new pronouncements are applicable from January 1, 2013. Simultaneous early
adoption of all five pronouncements is possible subject to their adoption by the European Union, which to date is still pending.

Table of Contents

of the amended IAS 19 on the Sanofi financial statements is under review.
None of the pronouncements issued during the first half of
2011 has to date been adopted by the European Union.
A.1.3. Updating of accounting policies as of June 30, 2011
The Group s accounting policies, as described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010,
have been updated as follows:

Table of Contents

The accounting treatment required under IFRS 5 (Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations) is described in Note B.7 to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the event of changes to a plan of sale that require an asset no longer to be classified as held for sale, IFRS 5 specifies the following treatment:
The backlog of depreciation, amortization and impairment not recognized while a non-current asset was classified as held for sale
must be reported in the same income statement line item as that used to report (i) impairment losses arising on the classification of assets as held for sale and (ii) gains or losses on the sale of such assets. In the Sanofi consolidated
income statement, these impacts are reported in the line item Other gains and losses, and litigation.
This line item replaces Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation, as defined in Note B.20.2. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
It includes the impact of material transactions of an unusual nature or amount, which Sanofi believes it necessary to report separately in the
income statement in order to improve the relevance of the financial statements.
The components of the line item Other gains and
losses, and litigation are:

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 review of the financial statements that may affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Examples of estimates and assumptions include:
For the purposes of the half-year financial information, 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 Sanofi operates.
Actual results could vary from these estimates.
A.3. Seasonal trends
Sanofi s activities are not subject to significant
seasonal fluctuations.

B.1.1. Main changes in the scope of consolidation
The major changes in the scope of consolidation during the first half of 2011 are as follows:
June 30, 2011, Genzyme Corporation (Genzyme) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanofi.
Genzyme, whose shares were previously listed
on the NASDAQ market, is a biotechnology group headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts (United States). Genzyme s primary areas of focus are rare diseases, renal endocrinology, oncology and biosurgery. In 2010, Genzyme generated net sales of
approximately $4 billion. The group employs nearly 10,000 people and operates in approximately 70 sites.
This acquisition will expand
Sanofi s reach in biotechnologies; Sanofi intends to make Genzyme its global center of excellence in rare diseases.
acquired Genzyme on April 4, 2011, the completion date of the public exchange offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Genzyme Corporation at a cash price of $74 per share. As part of the acquisition, Sanofi also issued to
Genzyme shareholders one contingent value right (CVR) per Genzyme share held.
Each CVR entitles the holder to
additional cash payments if milestones relating to Lemtrada (the registered name submitted to health authorities for the investigational agent alemtuzumab) are met over a specified period, or if specified production levels of Cerezyme and
Fabrazyme are met in 2011. Under the terms of the CVR agreement, the CVRs will expire on the earlier of December 31,
2020, or the attainment of the fourth sales milestone of Lemtrada . Each milestone and payment may occur once only. The milestones and payments per CVR are summarized below:
Sanofi issued 291 million CVRs (representing a maximum commitment of $4.1 billon), which are listed on the NASDAQ market under the ticker
GCVRZ and have been quoted since April 4, 2011. As of that date, the quoted price per CVR was $2.35. This price was used as the basis for determining the overall fair value of the contingent consideration. In accordance with the
