Agenda 1. Review of IFRS standards and impacts on 2004 accounts 2. Opening Balance Sheet at January 1 st, 2004 3. Impacts on accounts at June 30 th, 2004 3

What we said in December, 2004 In December 2004, the Group presented to the financial community those standards having an impact on the financial statements, the principal options chosen, and gave a preview of the major impacts on the balance sheet and the income statement : Key messages «EBIT stability as a % of net sales» «The principal impact on the Group s share of net income would come from ending the amortization of goodwill» «The principal impact to the balance sheet is the full integration of the financial service companies» «Increase in the net debt by an amount less than 2 days of operating working capital» «IFRS gearing end 2004 should be inferior to 100%» 4

Review of IFRS standards Principle The change of accounting standards was made compulsory as of January 1 st, 2005 by the EC regulation n 1606/2002 of July 19 th, 2002. The first accounts published according to IFRS will be those of the exercise 2005 presented with a comparison under fiscal year 2004 prepared in accordance with the same standards. Consequences for Carrefour Of the 38 standards which compose IFRS: - 3 standards have an impact solely on the presentation of the income statement (IAS 27: consolidated accounts, IAS 1: presentation of the financial statements, IAS 18: revenue recognition); - 5 standards have an impact on the profit of the Group (IAS 38: end of the depreciation of goodwill, IAS 17: leases, IAS 19: employee benefits, IAS 2: stocks, IFRS 2: stock-options and performance shares). 5

2004 : Review of IFRS standards 1. Standards with an impact on the presentation of accounts 2. Standards with an impact on profit 3. Other standards 4. Balance sheet at December 31st, 2004 5. General synthesis on 2004 accounts 6

2004 : Review of standards with an impact on the presentation of accounts 1. IAS 1 : Presentation of the financial statements 2. IAS 27 : Consolidated accounts 3. IAS 18 : Revenue recognition 7

IAS 1 : Presentation of the financial statements Principle No requirement for standard presentation of the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. Cancellation of the concept of extraordinary income. Choice of presentation of profit and loss account by «nature» or by «purpose». Consequences for Carrefour The presentation of the balance sheet remains the same. New presentation of the profit and loss account (see following page). The P&L presentation by «nature» has not changed. 8

IAS 27 : Consolidated accounts Principle Any subsidiaries over which we have a controlling interest must be fully consolidated. Consequences for Carrefour Within Carrefour, financial subsidiaries as well as insurance companies which are controlled by the group, have been until now consolidated by the equity method. In the future, these companies will be fully consolidated. In order to present this clearly in the financial statements :! We will show on the balance sheet, on a separate line, the debt which has been integrated.! Within the profit and loss account, the sales of these companies will be presented in «Other revenues». Countries concerned : France, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan, Belgium 11

IAS 18 : Revenue recognition Principle IAS 18 defines sales as the gross inflow of economic benefits arising from the ordinary operating activities of a company. For sales to be recognised, most of the property risks and rewards of goods or services must be transferred to the customer. Consequences for Carrefour! The composition of sales is unchanged (sales through cash registers and sales made to franchisees through Carrefour warehouses).! Additional revenues (revenue from financial services, Carrefour Vacances, franchisee income ) will be shown in a separate line at the top of the profit and loss account. 13

IAS 38 : Intangible assets Principle The definition and terms of accounting of intangible assets under IFRS are based on the notion of control of the asset and not only on the legal notion of property as it is defined under French accounting principles. Goodwill amortization is cancelled (replaced by impairment tests). Consequences for Carrefour No material reclassifying of intangible assets as goodwill. End of goodwill amortization :! Only earnings per share before goodwill remains ;! Net result before and after goodwill amortization are similar. 19

IAS 17 : Leases Principle Real-estate rents are analyzed by accounting and legal criteria (transfer of property, contract length / economic life of the asset, discounted rents / value of the asset ) and classified either as operational leases (lease expense in P&L), or financial leases, the accounting treatment of which is equivalent to a leasing contract : the rent is fragmented between amortization and financial interest. The asset is registered on the balance sheet with along with a corresponding liability. Consequences for Carrefour! More than 2000 contracts reviewed.! Financial lease contracts have already been restated in the consolidated accounts.! Since 2001, all new «sale & lease-back» contracts conform with IAS 17. The impact of applying IAS 17 is limited (around 30 contracts re-qualified). 21

IAS 17 : Leases 2004 Impacts Leases (IAS 17) Net sales Other revenues Revenues of ordinary activities Cost of sales Commercial margin Commercial margin rate SG&A 18,5 Other income (expense) Depreciation & provisions (11,2) Activity contribution 7,3 Non-recurring items EBIT 7,3 Interest income (expense) (14,1) Income before tax (6,8) Income tax 1,9 Income tax rate Net profit from recurring operations of consolidated companies Minority interests 1,0 Net income from recurring operations before (3,9) goodwill amortization - group share Amortization of goodwill Net income from recurring operations after (3,9) goodwill amortization - group share Non recurring income (expense) Discontinuing activities group share Discontinuing activities minority interests Net result (4,9) Net result group share (3,9) In m Assets Leases (IAS 17) Intangible assets Tangible assets 226 Financial assets (3) Investment properties Bank loans portfolio Other receivables (16) Total 207 In m Liabilities Leases (IAS 17) Shareholders equity - Group share (37) Minority interests (6) Shareholders equity (43) Provisions Net debt 245 Operating working capital Bank loans refinancing Other liabilities 5 Total 207 22

IAS 19 : Employee benefits Principle IAS 19 concerns all benefits which might form part of an employee s remuneration and requires that all the benefits accruing to employees are calculated on a «fair value» basis whatever their nature or due date. IFRS requires that companies recognise and account for a greater number of employee benefits than those under French GAAP. Consequences for Carrefour! The Group already accounts for its pension obligations.! Taking into account its social legislation, Belgium is the main country affected by this standard (pre-pension plans, time-credit fund ). In fact, these commitments are not based on legal obligations but rather on precedent. The high probability of their realization necessitates their inclusion under IFRS.! The Group has decided to apply the corridor method; if the impact of variations in the actuarial hypotheses on net income are within plus or minus 10% (the corridor) they are not accounted for. 23

IAS 2 : Inventories Principle The valuation of inventories on the balance sheet must include all the costs* associated with the cost of buying the product sold (i.e., items accounted for as margin). The Group has decided to :! Include all the direct costs in the valuation of inventories on the balance sheet (taking into account logistics costs up to the point when the product is in the warehouse of the store, as well as any rebates from suppliers).! Account for services billed to suppliers as commercial margin, and thus incorporate these invoices in the valuation of the stock.! Impact on Group Share Net Equity as of 1 st January 2004 : (363) M * Except for exchange rate losses and gains 25

IAS 2 Inventories 2004 Impacts Inventories (IAS 2) Net sales Other revenues Revenues of ordinary activities Cost of sales (84,2) Commercial margin (84,2) Commercial margin rate SG&A (0,5) Other income (expense) Depreciation & provisions Activity contribution (84,7) Non-recurring items EBIT (84,7) Interest income (expense) (0,6) Income before tax (85,3) Income tax 25,2 Income tax rate Net profit from recurring operations of consolidated companies Minority interests 5,0 Net income from recurring operations before (55,1) goodwill amortization - group share Amortization of goodwill Net income from recurring operations after (55,1) goodwill amortization - group share Non recurring income (expense) Discontinuing activities group share Discontinuing activities minority interests Net result (60,1) Net result group share (55,1) In m Assets Inventories (IAS 2) Intangible assets Tangible assets Financial assets Investment properties Bank loans portfolio Other receivables 181 Total 181 In m Liabilities Inventories (IAS 2) Shareholders equity - Group share (418) Minority interests (36) Shareholders equity (454) Provisions Net debt Operating working capital 635 Bank loans refinancing Other liabilities Total 181 26

IFRS 2 : Stock options Principle Under IFRS, stock options are considered to be a free distribution of call options to personnel. The theoretical cost of the call options (established by standard valuation method) is then added back into the company s payroll and is distributed over the period up to the expiration date (normally 4 years). This cost is calculated on the allotment date and cannot be modified. The standard is applicable to all financial instruments granted after November 7, 2002, and unused as of January 1, 2004. This principle does not exist under French standards. 27

Review of other standards Standard Principle Consequences for Carrefour IAS 12 : Deferred taxes Deferred tax is recognised on an undiscounted basis The only impact of the application of IAS Standard 12 is on opening shareholders equity (an impact of -92 M ). IAS 14 : Segment reporting IAS 16 : Fixed assets IAS 14 recommends that data on the balance sheet and profit and loss account should be given on two levels The residual value of a fixed asset can be recognised at the end of its depreciable life (and thus depreciation is limited to the purchase price minus the residual value). A revaluation of fixed assets (by category) is also possible. Depreciation can be calculated on each component of a fixed asset where the cost of that component is significant. This impact originates essentially from the recognition of a differed tax liability relative to the theoretical tax charge arising from two PSDI loans (Prêts Subordonnés à Durée Indéterminée) subscribed in 1991 and 1992. 1st level : by Geography (France, Europe, America, Asia) 2nd level : by activity (hypers, supers, HD, others) Given that the Group typically retains its assets, the residual value of fixed assets, once depreciated, is nil (fixed assets are thus fully depreciated). The Group has opted not to revalue fixed assets (maintaining historical cost). The Group has already applied the principle of calculating depreciation on each component of a fixed asset. 31

Review of other standards Standard Principle Consequences for Carrefour IAS 36 : Asset depreciation IAS 36 ensures that assets are booked at a value which does not exceed their recoverable value. The standard makes uniform impairment tests for all categories of assets. Impairment tests are undertaken: -Systematically for non amortized assets (goodwill ). The Group has already completed (since 2000) impairment tests on its main assets (constructions and goodwill). As a consequence, the adoption of the standard IAS 36 has no impact on the Carrefour opening balance sheet. -In case of any sign of a loss of value for all other fixed assets. IAS 40 : Investment properties For buildings which count as «investment property» (property held for rents or to enhance the corporate value), IAS 40 gives the possibility of revaluing the investment buildings at fair value. Whatever option the company chooses, the standard requires the fair value of these assets to be disclosed in the notes. Shopping malls constitute investment property. The Group has opted not to revalue its investment property. The fair value of these buildings will be given in the notes to the financial statements, calculated on the basis of a multiple of rents. 32

Review of other standards Standard Principle Consequences for Carrefour IFRS 1 : First adoption of IFRS IFRS 1 is about how IFRS standards should be adopted. This standard offers several options among which:!possibility of resetting to zero translation adjustments accumulated up to January 1st, 2004 (transfer of translation adjustments in undistributed profits);!no retrospective restatement of Group consolidation booked before January 1st, 2004 ;!Possibility of applying IAS 32 and IAS 39 on January 1st, 2005 with no pro forma comparison in 2004.!Possibility of proceeding to partial asset revaluations on January 1st, 2004.!Possibility of booking any shortfall related to employee benefits in opening shareholders equity. "Transfer on January 1st, 2004 of translation adjustments in undistributed profits (reserves); "No restatement of Group consolidation made before January 1st, 2004 (which would have led to new accounting for the Carrefour / Promodès merger). "Adopting the standards IAS 32 and 39 on January 1st, 2005 with no pro forma comparison in 2004. "No asset revaluation. "Any shortfall related to employee benefits will be accounted for in the opening shareholders equity. 33

IAS 32/39 : Financial instruments Given their belated adoption, the application of IAS Standards 32 and 39 was optional in 2004. The principal consequences of their application are as follows : - commitments given (puts) to minority interests of fully consolidated subsidiaries should be accounted for as financial debt at their actual value; " quantitative impact 2005 to be analyzed. - liabilities and debts over which the company retains its rights and contractual obligations must be kept on the balance sheet ; " a part of the current debt securitization plan will be re-consolidated. 34

IAS 32/39 : Financial instruments - derivative instruments (swaps, floors, options ) are accounted for on the balance sheet at their fair value and any variations to their fair value are accounted for in net income ; - it is possible, under certain conditions, to apply the principle of hedge accounting. In this case, debt is accounted for at its fair value and any variation to this is entered in net income ; " the Group applies the principle of hedge accounting which will limit the volatility of net income. - Investments in non-consolidated companies are evaluated at their fair value. " Little impact for the Group. Other than the application of the standards 32 and 39, financial income is affected by changes of classification within the income statement (example: classification of supplier discounts as commercial margin rather than financial income). 35

Treasury shares (IAS 32) Principle Under IFRS, treasury shares must be written off against shareholder equity. Consequences for Carrefour Treasury shares held to serve stock-option plans were classified until now as transferable investment securities and were included in the calculation of the net debt. In the event of loss of value, a reserve was allocated against profit. Under IFRS, treasury shares will be written off against shareholder equity and share price movements will not affect the financial statements. Given that the Carrefour Group has not opted for the early application of IAS 32 and 39, only the 2005 accounts will be impacted by this change of classification (pro forma information will be given for 2004). Pro forma impact on shareholders equity as of 31/12/04 : (299 m) Pro forma impact on net debt as of 31/12/04 : +311 m Pro forma impact on 2004 result : +12 m 36

Off balance sheet commitments Off balance sheet commitments under IFRS will be similar to those presented under the French standards on the whole. However, because they are included in the balance sheet under IFRS, the following will no longer be presented as off balance sheet:! rents payable related to contracts qualifying as financial leases! the pension fund in Belgium. 37

Specific point Amortization of constructions Change in Accounting Estimate 2005 38

Amortization of constructions In May 2005, the Group decided to modify the useful life of its constructions from 20 to 40 years. This decision was motivated by several factors : # more and more of our stores are 20 years old and continue to be operated without needing to make structural changes to the constructions ; # the majority or our international competitors amortize their constructions over periods ranging from 35 to 50 years; # valuations of stores, made by experts as part of the creation of a European real estate company (the Carrefour Property project completion 2005), reveal that constructions continue to have a significant market value after 20 years. 39

The changeover to IFRS does not justify the modification to the useful life of constructions, French accounting standards and IFRS being similar on this point (amortization over the useful life of an asset). The decision taken by the Group to modify the useful life of its constructions having not been taken until May 2005 (in consideration of reports by independent experts), this decision constitutes a change in valuation. By consequence : Amortization of constructions # The amortization period of constructions is raised, from 2005, from 20 to 40 years (or over the length of the rental contract if inferior) # The change in length is effective from January 1, 2005 forward # Pro forma information for 2004 will be provided For the sake of simplicity, although the change to the length of amortization is not an IFRS adjustment, the IFRS financial statements presented hereinafter are restated with this modification. 40

Reminder of the financial ratios formerly presented : EBITDA / financial income (expense) EBIT / financial income (expense) Changes under IFRS : Financial ratios at December 31 st, 2004 The financial ratios formerly presented by the Group are no longer pertinent under IFRS. EBIT and EBITDA will now include non-recurring elements (formerly presented as nonrecurring income/expense) and financial income now includes the cost associated with the updated employee benefit commitments (interest costs). Therefore, from now on we propose calculating the financial ratios according to the methods used by the ratings agencies, based on the following restated aggregates : - EBIT before non-recurring elements = Activity contribution (AC) - EBITDA before non-recurring elements = Activity contribution before depreciation and amortization - financial income before interest costs 54
