Group activities

Regarding business jets, FALCON 2000LXS and FALCON 2000S have both been
certified in the first nine months of 2013. FALCON 2000S deliveries have also
started.

Defense programs were marked by the publication of the French Government "Livre
Blanc" on Defense and National Safety. The French Military Program law, which is
its budgetary transcription, will have a direct impact on our Defense programs.

RAFALE program was marked, in the first nine months of 2013, by the continuation
of exclusive negotiations in order to equip the Indian Air Force with 126 new
aircraft, in the frame of the MMRCA program. Prospecting continues in other
countries.

In addition, the Indian MIRAGE 2000 modernization program is on track. First
flight, which occurred at the beginning of October in Istres, was a success.

Concerning drones:

* nEUROn (Unmanned Combat Aircraft demonstrator, with Dassault Aviation as
prime contractor of the program, with five European industrial partners):
the « Radar Cross Section » measurement campaign meets its goal and the
display of the aircraft at the Paris Air Show was a great success. Flight
tests campaign is being pursued.

* UCAS (Unmanned Combat Air System): Dassault Aviation and BAE Systems have
pursued the preparatory studies to launch a demonstrator.

* MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance): following up Paris Air show common
declaration of intent, Dassault Aviation and its industrial partners, EADS
and Finmeccanica, are working on the possibilities of designing and
producing together a European MALE drone.

2013 outlook

DASSAULT AVIATION Group expects to deliver around 70 FALCON (compared to 66 in
2012) and 11 RAFALE in 2013. 2013 net sales should be higher than 2012 net
sales. The "shutdown" in the United States might, however, impact these
forecasts.
