Romande Energie Group posted mixed results in the first half of 2009. While EBIT declined by 37%, mainly because of the high cost of energy purchases on the wholesale markets, net income was exceptionally strong following the transaction that preceded the creation of the Alpiq Group in January 2009. The significant decrease in EBIT was primarily due to the high cost of energy purchases on the wholesale markets. The first half of the year was also marked by an exceptional accounting operation in connection with the creation of Alpiq. The contribution of assets of EOS Holding (EOSH) under the merger of EOS and Atel led to the recognition of a book profit of some CHF 1.9 billion at EOSH. As Romande Energie Group has a shareholding of 28.72% in EOSH, equity in net income of affiliated companies rose by CHF 551 million. Net revenues up Net revenues amounted to CHF 282 million, an increase of CHF 26 million (10%) compared with the first half of 2008. This revenue growth is explained mainly by an extension of the marketing zone since Romande Energie Commerce SA commenced operations on 1 April 2008, bringing together the marketing activities of several electricity distributors in Vaud Canton. Sharp rise in energy purchases The cost of energy supplies exceeded the H1 08 figure by CHF 18.6 million. Purchasing volumes were also higher (up some 102 GWh) in order to accommodate increased sales and offset a fall of 13% in own-power generation caused by adverse weather condition. Lower gross margin Gross margin contracted by CHF 6.7 million (-6%) compared with the first half of 2008. Stable operating expenses Taking into account the various acquisitions made in 2008, personnel expenses and other operating expenses in H1 09 were perfectly in line with those in the year-earlier period. Exceptional net income Net income stood at CHF 607 million. This figure includes an exceptional gain of CHF 551 million resulting from the transaction that led to the creation of Alpiq in January 2009, following the merger of EOS and Atel. Excluding equity in net income of affiliated companies, the Group’s net earnings fell by CHF 4.3 million (-18.8%). Increase in shareholders’ equity Taking into account overall income for the period and the dividend distribution, shareholders’ equity rose by CHF 177 million to CHF 1,983 billion at 30 June 2009.

Rise in share price during H1 09 Romande Energie shares closed at CHF 2,045 at 30 June 2009, compared with CHF 1,980 at 31 December 2008. Taking into account holdings of own shares, market capitalization was CHF 2.3 billion (CHF 2.2 billion six months earlier).

E nterprise value 2 061 610 2 075 942 E nterprise value/E BITDA n.a . 16.00 Acquisition On 18 May 2009, Romande Energie Group acquired Tecfor SA, a company active in the field of geothermal drilling. This acquisition is in keeping with the Group’s energy efficiency strategy. By acquiring a drilling company, the Group will be able to offer a turnkey solution in the area of heat pumps. Outlook for the Group The first effects of the economic crisis were clearly apparent during the first half of the year, and the Group expects a slight contraction in the volume of kWh distributed. Between 1 September and 31 October 2009, customers consuming more than 100,000 kWh a year will again be able to exercise their right of eligibility for electricity supplies. The volumes gained or lost by Romande Energie Commerce SA will depend, among other factors, on the strategies adopted by competitors and price trends on the wholesale markets. The Group will keep its prices unchanged in 2010, even though it anticipates higher costs on the supply front. This decision reflects its desire not to aggravate the difficulties facing some of its clients in a climate marked by economic recession. Spearheaded by the Environment business unit, activities focusing on energy efficiency will be stepped up considerably in the coming months. At the same time, the Group will press ahead with its efforts to expand own-power production capacities. A large portion of the income arising from the transaction which led to the creation of Alpiq is of a purely accounting nature. All the cash received by the Group in this connection, namely CHF 114.9 million, will be invested in production units based on new renewable energy sources. With some CHF 570 million already allocated to renewable energy projects, Romande Energie is determined to play a key role in promoting these new methods of power generation and aims to produce between 250 and 300 GWh of additional green electricity by 2020-2025. Finally, the Group continues to devote great attention as well as substantial resources to maintaining and modernizing its distribution grids and enhancing its services, in order to ensure that clients enjoy the security of supply and quality of service to which they are entitled.

Its principal activity consists of holding and managing investments in subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2009 were approved by the Board of Directors of Romande Energie Holding SA on 31 August 2009. NOTE 2 BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES Romande Energie Group is an integrated utility group whose core business is the marketing, distribution and production of electricity. The Group’s consolidated financial statements for 2008 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the IFRIC Interpretations (International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee). The interim statements at 30 June 2009 have been prepared in compliance with the same standards and in accordance with IAS 34, except as regards impacts arising from the adoption of the following standards: IFRS 8 – Operating Segments The Group has defined its reporting segments following the entry into force of the new Electricity Supply Act (see note 5). The introduction of this note has no effect on the Group’s earnings shown in the income statement. IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (Revision) This revised standard has brought in new terminology as well as a certain number of changes to the presentation of financial statements and notes. However, the application of this standard does not have any impact on the Group’s retained earnings or overall income. The interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited.

NOTE 3 ACCOUNTING AND VALUATION PRINCIPLES These interim financial statements and the comparative figures for the year-earlier period have been prepared in accordance with the same consolidation, accounting and valuation principles used for the 2008 consolidated financial statements. A detailed description of these principles can be found in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2008 Financial Review, which can also be accessed on the internet at www.romande-energie.ch NOTE 4 CORPORATE ACQUISITIONS On 18 May 2009, the Group acquired all the shares of Tecfor SA for a total amount of CHF 3.1 million. This company, which operates mainly in the field of geothermal drilling, is located at Troistorrents in the Canton of Valais and has a share capital of CHF 560,000. Tecfor has been fully consolidated since the date of its acquisition.

The fair value of identifiable as sets of Tec for S A on the date of cons olidation was as follows

The cost of this acquisition comprises cash payments of CHF 1.5 million and non-discounted future payments of CHF 1.6 million. The operation has had no material impact on the income statement, as the date of consolidation is close to the date on which the financial statements were drawn up. Revenues resulting from Tecfor’s activities would have amounted to CHF 1.2 million in the first half of 2009 if the company had been consolidated at the beginning of the year. Its net income for the same period would have been below CHF 100,000. In 2008, the Group purchased all the share capital of HC SA. The total amount of the transaction fixed at the time was CHF 3.5 million. This price included payments that were to be made later if certain objectives were achieved. As these objectives were not met, the price was reduced to CHF 2.6 million. The goodwill of CHF 2.7 million calculated in 2008 was therefore adjusted downwards to CHF 1.9 million. This goodwill was attributed to the synergies and future cash flows expected. In view of the current economic situation, the Group is rather pessimistic about the scale of such cash flows. As the inflows projected over

the next five years no longer justify the value of the goodwill, the Group has booked an impairment charge on the total amount recognized, i.e. CHF 1.9 million. On 30 April 2009, the Group acquired a further 200 shares of Société de Distribution Electrique de Champéry SA (SDEC), increasing its stake in this company from 94.55% to 99.55%. The net amount paid was CHF 413,000. The price of CHF 2,065 per share is the same as that agreed at the time of the acquisition in 2008 and corresponds to the fair value of the shares. NOTE 5 SEGMENT REPORTING Operating segments are determined on the basis of the business units which are required to submit regular reports to Group management. The Group is currently organized into the following three main business units:

- Marketing - Distribution - Environment

These units are managed as distinct entities even though they all engage in energy-related activities. The Marketing business unit is responsible for electricity sales, ancillary services (invoicing, call centre, etc.) as well as products and services embracing all client categories, such as energy audits and public lighting systems. The Group obtains part of its electricity supplies through the Environment business unit, while the remainder is secured by long-term contracts with third parties and by forward and spot purchases on the European Electricity Exchange (EEX). Virtually all the activities of the Marketing business unit are concentrated within Romande Energie Commerce SA, a subsidiary in which the Group has a shareholding of 67.5%. The main task of the Distribution business unit is to ensure high-quality power transmission, in accordance with the legal requirements. For this purpose, it is entrusted with the maintenance and development of the electricity distribution grid. Most of the unit’s activities are subject to regulation. Basically, its revenues consist of the remuneration received for making the grid available to end-clients and resellers. This remuneration is governed by the provisions of the Electricity Supply Act. The principal objectives of the Environment business unit are to generate hydraulic energy and develop activities focusing on new renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. Transactions between business units are carried out at a price close to market prices. The same accounting principles are applied in all the business units. The Group conducts its activities exclusively in Switzerland. There is no single client that accounts for over 10% of its revenues. Operating assets of each business unit consist primarily of tangible fixed assets, trade accounts receivable and other receivables. Operating liabilities mainly comprise trade accounts payable and other payables. Liabilities which are not attributable to an operating segment include, in particular, deferred tax liabilities and current tax debts. Corporate Expenses shown under “Corporate” refer to costs incurred in connection with the activities of the Group’s head office. Income and expenditure that cannot be allocated to a specific business unit are also booked under this heading. Assets and liabilities mostly comprise cash and cash equivalents, investments in affiliated companies and financial debts.

NOTE 8 EQUITY IN NET INCOME OF AFFILIATED COMPANIES This position was significantly influenced by the merger of Atel and EOS. Under the merger agreement, all the operating assets held by EOS SA, which was wholly owned by EOS Holding SA, were valued at fair value. Consequently, EOS Holding was able to book additional income of CHF 1,919 million. As Romande Energie Group has a stake of 28.7% in EOS Holding, this valuation adjustment had an impact of CHF 551 million on the Group’s income statement. In its annual report for 2008, the Group had announced that this transaction would result in a one-off profit of CHF 462 million. This was a provisional calculation, based on estimates made at the time. The final allocation of the costs arising from the merger of these two companies will be made by the end of 2009. NOTE 9 VALUATION ADJUSTMENT BOOKED TO SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY OF EOS HOLDING This valuation adjustment in the amount of CHF 406 million results from the accounting treatment applied to financial instruments following the merger of Atel and EOS. During previous financial years, changes in the fair value of Atel Holding shares were recognized in the accounts of EOS Holding under shareholders’ equity. Now that the investment in Alpiq is consolidated using the equity method, the historical acquisition cost has been reconstructed by cancelling the adjustments entered under shareholders’ equity. This English translation is based on the French original. In case of doubt the original French text shall prevail.
