Dear Shareholders,
The financial period presented herein covers the period between 1 July 2017 and 30 June 2018, corresponding to sports season 2017/2018.
In the period under review, in terms of sports performance, Sporting Clube de Portugal – Futebol, SAD (Sporting SAD) dispute several competitions in the European Professional Football scenario – the European competitions (UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League) and domestic competitions (Portuguese League, Portugal Cup and League Cup), having won the first League Cup of Sporting SAD history.
Regarding the European competitions, the Sporting SAD sports performance was positive, achieving the group phase of the main European club competition – UEFA Champions League, contesting with Juventus, Barcelona and Olympiakos. Despite the team's excellent exhibitions, winning 7 (seven) points, Sporting Clube de Portugal cannot achieve the next phase of UEFA Champions League, having pursued its European campaign on the round of 32 on UEFA Europa League. On this competition, Sporting Clube de Portugal won's the rounds against Astana (Kazakhstan) and Viktoria Plzen (Czech Republic), being defeated on the quarter finals by Atlético de Madrid on a very close tie – Atlético de Madrid was the winner of the 2017/2018 edition of UEFA Europa League.
Concerning the domestic competitions, Sporting SAD achieved the third position on the Portuguese League, after a huge contest for the second position, that last until the last match day of the League. The second position of the League allows the possibility to classify and play the third pre-qualifying round for the UEFA Champions' League group phase qualification. Sporting Clube de Portugal ensure the qualification for the 2018/2019 UEFA Europa League edition, which draw occurred after the period of this report, and dictates Arsenal FC (England), FK Qarabag (Azerbaijan) and FC Vorskla (Ukraine) as opponents of Sporting on Group Phase.
Still in terms of domestic competitions, Sporting SAD won, in January, the first League Cup of its history, after defeating Vitória Futebol Club, on penalty shootout (5-4). Sporting SAD also qualified for the Portuguese Cup Final against CD Aves. CD Aves won this Portuguese Cup edition (1-2).
The performance of the professional team of Sporting SAD was very positive until an advanced phase of the season. On April, the team kept very good possibilities to win all the three competition that were on dispute. However, this record was negatively affected by the Club's Board crisis and, above all, by the successive communication episodes that contributed to the destabilization of the professional football team, a situation that culminated in the very serious and unprecedented events that took place on May 15 at the Academy of Alcochete.
During this period, Sporting SAD was out of the European competition (April), and failed the leadership and vice-leadership of the Portuguese League (and the subsequent qualification for the third pre-qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League) and, after 15 of May, was defeated in the Portuguese Cup final.
The tragic events referred, not only exacerbated the crisis of the executive board of directors and the governing bodies - which led to the replacement of the members of the SAD Board of Directors at the end of June, as a consequence of the approval at the General Assembly held on 23 June, the principal shareholder Sporting Clube de Portugal, as well as the sports crisis itself - which culminated in the unilateral termination
of 9 Sporting SAD athletes between May 31 and June 14: Rui Patrício, Daniel Podence, Bruno Fernandes, William Carvalho, Gelson Martins, Bas Dost, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ruben Ribeiro and Rafael Leão.
The sporting crisis also extended to the medical team, which all the members resigned to their position, and the technical team led by Jorge Jesus, who terminate his contract with Sporting by mutual agreement. The hiring of a new technical team led by Sinisa Mihajlovic, on June 17, did not survive the experimental period, and the new Board of Directors decided, after June 30, to advance with the hiring of a new technical team led by José Peseiro.
On this way, the new members of the Board of Directors have assumed, as a priority for the last days of the financial year, and until the Elective General Assembly of Sporting Clube de Portugal, to ensure stability and restore institutional normality to its stakeholders, with a view to preparing the new sports season. In this regard, it was particularly important to successfully negotiate the return of players Bruno Fernandes, Bas Dost and Rodrigo Battaglia after the end of the year.
It's also important to highlight the achievement of a friendly agreement negotiated with William Carvalho and Betis de Sevilla, which resulted in an interesting financial revenue for Sporting SAD, given the circumstances and atypicity that marked the final phase of the year.
Thus, for the 2017/2018 financial year, the transfer of players was less positive than in the previous season, with sales of Adrien Silva to Leicester (England) standing at 20.5 million. In terms of acquisitions, Sporting SAD closed the hiring of important players such as Marcos Acuña, Jeremy Mathieu in the winter market window, Marcus Wendel and Fredy Montero and finally Raphinha, Viviano and Bruno Gaspar (in June 2018). The balance between sales and acquisitions in this year was negative by 21 million euros, and the very serious events of Alcochete on 15 May and the subsequent unilateral termination without just cause by 9 athletes, limited and conditioned the negotiation position of Sporting SAD to ensure additional gains arising from this particular segment of the activity.
Also in terms of professional senior football, Sporting SAD was registered in the new Under-23 competition, launched by the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), choosing not to register Sporting B on the second Portuguese League, unlike the previous year.
At the level of women's football, Sporting SAD reinforced the dominance in this modality, achieving the "dobradinha" – win the championship and the Portuguese Cup, for the second consecutive year. The female team also won the Portuguese Supercup. The excellent performance of the women's football team inside and outside the four-line led to Sporting Clube de Portugal being considered, by the European Clubs Association (ECA), the team that best promoted women's football in 2017. In terms of European competitions, Sporting SAD disputed the UEFA Champions League in their debut year, finishing the group stage on the second position, which was not enough to continue in the race - a situation that was repeated, already in season 2018/2019. Concerning to the grassroots level, the under-19 won the National Championship in 2016/17 and 2017/18 and the under-17 won the District Championship in 2017/18. The growing importance of the sport - which has brought members and fans to the Estádio de Alvalade, the prospect of greater competitiveness at the domestic level, had motivated the decision to create a B team for the next season.
At men's football grassroots, Sporting Clube de Portugal once again proves its competence and track record as a European power in the training of soccer athletes. The highlight in this season falls to the team of under-13, who won the championship that escaped 2 years ago. The under-19 and under-17, however, did not
achieve the re-conquest of the championship titles won the previous year, ranking 2nd (runner-up) and 4th place respectively.
Relatively to the season 2017/2018, we welcome the decision of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) which determines the implementation of VaR (video referee) technology in all Portuguese League matches, meeting one of the measures most favoured by our club at national and international level, as auxiliary instrument of the referees and promoter greater accuracy and sports truth.
At global term, the revenue, in the analysed period, including player's transactions, was 126,000 thousand euros, which compares with the previous year – the best in Sporting SAD history, when the revenue was 173,000 thousand Euros (93,000 thousand Euros from player's transactions).
Stand out still and after a season with positive value (5,600 thousand Euros), the Equity on this year achieves a negative value of 13,000 thousand Euros arising from a negative Net Income of 19,000 thousand Euros.
Sporting SAD is proud to have great professionals, with full capacity to pursue the objectives of success that are intended for the Club. Thus, to all Employees, Athletes, Technical Teams and Directors, I express my appreciation for their contributions, dedication and commitment.
To my fellow members of the Board of Directors, without whom this mission would be impossible, I would also like to thank the hard work, fundamental for the stabilization of Sporting SAD after a troubled period, reinvigorating strength, endurance and greatness the values of Sporting Clube de Portugal brand, reinforcing its institutional credibility with our stakeholders, and our connection with the fans of Sporting Clube de Portugal.
To all of them, hour heartfelt thank-you.
Long live Sporting Clube de Portugal!

Dear Shareholders,
In compliance with the legislation in force, we submit for your appreciation the Management Report, the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement, the Comprehensive Income Statement, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Clash Flow Statement and the respective Notes to the financial statements related to financial period 2017/2018, which covers the period 1 July 2017 through 30 June 2018.
The Company presents its annual financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union.
As publicly disclosed and reported by Sporting SAD to the market, between May 31 and June 14 2018, nine players from the professional football team communicated the termination of their sports contract invoking just cause.
The players who submitted the termination contract were: Rui Patrício, Daniel Podence, Gelson Martins, Bruno Fernandes, William Carvalho, Bas Dost, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ruben Ribeiro and Rafael Leão. Of these, three players acknowledging the arguments of Sporting SAD reversed their position having been reinstated in the squad of Sporting SAD, namely Bruno Fernandes, Bas Dost and Rodrigo Battaglia. These returns achieved by the current Board of Directors had a positive impact of 18,046 thousand euros, both in the results for the year and in the Sporting Clube de Portugal – Futebol, SAD Equity value.
On July 13, 2018, Sporting SAD entered into an agreement with William Carvalho and Real Bétis Balompié SAD under which the player and Sporting SAD waived any rights that they might have as a result of the player's unilateral resolution and termination of his contract, and Sporting SAD accepted the player's
registration by Real Betis for up to 20,000 thousand Euros and maintaining the right to receive 25% of the amounts that the club will receive in the event of a future transfer of the player.
It is strongly believed by the Board of Directors of Sporting SAD that the alleged facts as facts of the just cause invoked by the other five players in the respective unilateral resolutions do not proceed for such a purpose and therefore took the measures that it deemed convenient with the possible assets and contingent liabilities (see note 32 of the annex to the Financial Statements).
Sporting SAD closed the 2017/2018 season with a turnover of 126,109 thousand euros, which is supported by their participation in the UEFA Champions' League group stage after the play-off tie and the sale of sports rights, in particular of the captain Adrien Silva. In spite of this turnover, with a negative result of 19,902 thousand euros in July 2018, an agreement was reached with William Carvalho and Betis de Sevilla, as well as the sale of Cristiano Piccini to Valencia, which totalled around 24 million euros.
In terms of revenue, we grew at the box office, either in-game or in the success of the renewal of annual gameboxes. A special mention for the merchandising business for the opening in March 2018 of a "Loja Verde" store at Rua Augusta (nº 249) in Lisbon, which is expected to receive a massive commitment from the members and sympathizers. In November 2017, the "Loja Verde" store was inaugurated at the João Rocha Pavilion, whose performance has been showing below expectations. We consider that the strategy of the merchandising business should be rethought, namely the reactivation of the "Loja Verde" in the Estádio José de Alvalade.
In terms of Financial Position, we highlight the reduction of total liabilities by 28,330 thousand euros, the reduction of bank debt by 17,096 thousand euros and the increase in the value of the squad by 21.649 thousand euros.
| Regarding the investment on the main squad, Sporting SAD made a significant effort with the acquisition of the sports and economic rights of several players, in addition to those that had already acquired with the closing of the sport season 2016/2017, of which we highlight: Marcos Acuña for the amount of 10,591 thousand euros and considered one of the most promising Argentine players with a regular presence in the national team of his country; Marcus Wendel for the amount of 8,700 thousand euros and disputed by several European clubs; Raphinha for the amount of 6,500 thousand euros and considered one of the revelation players of the 2017/18 season; Jeremy Mathieu for the amount of 4,000 thousand euros, of which 3,000 thousand euros are related to the signature bonus and 1,000 thousand euros on commission (which may increase through the player's permanence in Sporting SAD). The subscription premium involved allowed a reduction of the salary of the player along the contract period. Total % economic End of Acquisition Signature Solidarity Player Comissions Acquisition rights Contract Value Bonus Contribution Value Marcos Acuña 100% jun/22 9,585 - 800 206 10,591 Marcus Wendel 100% jun/23 7,500 - 1,200 - 8,700 Raphinha 100% jun/23 6,500 - - - 6,500 Jeremy Mathieu 100% jun/20 - 3,000 1,000 - 4,000 |
It's also necessary to highlight the negative Shareholders' Equity value of 13,324 thousand euros, as a result of the investment made in the establishment, whether in the acquisition of economic rights of Players whether the investment in the staff costs of the main squad of professional football of Sporting SAD. |

They are three main pillars of intervention: Social, School and Sport, and are adjusted to the contexts of the EUL, Sporting Academy and, more specifically, to accompany athletes who lives at Sporting Academy.
Regarding to the pillar of school intervention, the focus is on the articulation with the school context, as well as with the legal responsible of the athletes, in order to ensure a positive balance between sports and school activities. In this sense, the following activities were carried out:
• Articulation with school groups / Class Directors;
In a particular and adapted way, this school attendance was also carried out to athletes residing in the Sporting Academy, and the following results were achieved, compared to the previous sports season:
The work of the social intervention has provided the households with a technical and specialized response to their varied needs, supporting their process of social inclusion and contributing to their full personal and social development.
In this sense, a set of activities were promoted to improve personal training, conduct and social awareness of our athletes, and four awareness actions and a series of lectures were organized.
These initiatives, carried out with athlete's resident at the Sporting Academy, aimed at promoting interfaith empathy (Solidarity Lunch at Mesquita Central de Lisboa), awareness of social inequalities (Johnson Academy) and food waste (ReFood), as well as for questions related to oral hygiene (Malo Clinic).
Three lectures were held with three Athletes of Adapted Sports from Sporting Clube de Portugal – Norberto Mourão, athlete from adapted canoeing; Cátia Monteiro, GoalBall player and Pedro Gonçalves from Basketball in Wheelchairs.

Finally, the intervention carried out in the sports area aims to be a contribution to the:
• The sports performance and well-being of the athletes, through the development of psychological and life skills of the athletes;
The following activities were carried out:
Taken together, these initiatives understood the premise of the integral development of our athletes and their different roles in society, such as men and citizens.

Due to the constraints with the number of places in the academy, this year we opted to reduce the number of participants, with 231 children / young people participating, divided by the seven weeks of the program.
Sporting has developed a number of dissemination activities with regard to its academy, having the following International Sporting Academy Schools (EAS) in operation - Escola Academia Sporting Toronto (Sporting Toronto Academy School) (Canada); EAS CANO Sport Academy (Equatorial Guinea), EAS Cidade da Praia and EAS Mindelo, both in Cape Green; EAS Rustenburg, EAS Nelspruit and EAS Johannesburg, all in South Africa and opening new EAS Athens (Greece), EAS Singapura, EAS Ciudad da Guatemala (Guatemala), EAS Alajuela (Costa Rica), EAS Pretória (South Africa) and EAS Norberto de Castro (Angola) and opening the new ES on Florianópolis (Brazil), Panamá and Washington (USA).
There are also cooperation protocols with 1º de Agosto and with Recreativo de Cáala, both in Angola, F91 Dudelange (Luxembourg), New England Revolution (USA), Real Cartagena and J&SM Sports Management SAS, in Colombia, European Football Academy in England, Kairat Almaty (Kazakhstan), Al-Ittihad in Egypt, Atlético Clube Goianense and International Porto Alegre, both from Brazil and Sporting Clube da Praia from Cape Green. They have been developed three international summer camps, on Switzerland, Netherlands, Australia, Brazil, Spain, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Cyprus, Canada and United States of America.
Being more than just a football Club, Sporting has defined in its strategy an important chapter on sustainability and social responsibility.
Sporting is known as a training Club and has competent people in this area. Hence, the decision was taken to develop products so as to work this area with the aim of creating a unified offer by the various employees, thereby enhancing the Club as a training brand, not only internally but also in the community, and expanding the Sporting brand, already associated with training, to civil society. It was in this sense that we promoted the creation of the Sporting Training Academy brand. This brand aims to bring together, in an integrated manner, the entire training offer the Club has in sports terms.
The vision embraces the design, implementation and evaluation of training programs that excel through quality and differentiation at the national and international level.
This concept is in line with the Sporting brand values, given the excellence in athlete development, realized by professionals working in the Club and in the SAD. The brand develops specific products for the education, health, performance and training and management areas.
a) Sporting Summer School
Launched in 2014, under this product, marketed between the months of July and August, young aspiring coaches can reside for six days at the Academy, applying their learning to the athletes enrolled in the sports holidays - another initiative that allows young athletes to reside at the Sporting Academy for a week, dedicating themselves exclusively to football.
On 2017 (July and August), it has been done 2 (two) Level One courses – 18 participants, and 1 (one) Level Two course - 10 participants.
All this so that Sporting can assume itself not only as the only Club to have trained two Golden Ball winners, but also as the one that can launch coaches of excellence into the World.
b) Lion Holidays "Férias de Leão" Program
This is a sports holiday program with a very strong component of Sporting culture promotion to children. This program was run at the Multisport facilities during the months of July, August and September. In this year, 9 weeks were organized with the presence of about 290 young people aged between 6 and 14.
Since the football sports holiday already exists, this ATL (Leisure Time Workshop) aims to divulge the other sports areas of the Club. Young people can enjoy many of the 'leonine' sports areas, such as swimming, table tennis, futsal or combat sports, amongst others. This ATL will also include visits to the "Museu Mundo Sporting" (Sporting-World Museum), the Stadium and several development of playful activities.
c) Training Course for Sports Management Technical Support Professionals
Sporting is also characterized by the concerns with the future of our grassroots athletes. Hence, the Club grasped the school problems existing amongst athletes training in the several sport areas and decided to act, setting up within the Sporting Training Academy, in partnership with the Instituto de Emprego e Formação Profissional (Institute of Employment and Professional Training), a formation course aimed at young athletes as well as for young people who may be proposed by the Sporting Foundation and by civil society itself.
Both of the Sports Management Technical Support courses (41 students) will start in September and will permit a dual certification: 12th grade at school level (Level 4) and professional exit for Sports Management Technical Support Professional level.
Given the positive evaluation of this course either by Sporting Clube de Portugal, either by IEFP, Sporting Clube de Portugal applied to be able to teach two more classes of students having a positive answer to this apply. On 2017/2018 biennium, evolved four classes on this courses. The 2015 class had finished its formation with a total of 41 students that complete the double certification.
This course has been a significant challenge for Sporting Clube de Portugal and was a winning bet. The social responsibility duty of an organization as Sporting Clube de Portugal was put into practice making possible to an almost 100 young kids to come back or continue their studies and their professional qualifications.
The Clinical Department was coordinated by Dr Frederico Varandas, being its clinical director and 1st doctor of the Senior team. It is also constituted by Dr. Francisco Moreira (1st doctor of the B team), Virgílio Abreu (2nd doctor of the A team and 2nd doctor of the B team), Dr. Nuno Oliveira (doctor of the youth levels) and Dr. Pedro Pessoa: responsible for orthopaedic surgery and doctor of the youth levels.
On May 24, 2018, Dr. Frederico Varandas presented his resignation from his place and coordination of the medical department of Sporting SAD. This position was in the meantime assured by outsourcing company Marimig, Saúde, Consultoria e Formação Lda. - Clínica Reequilibra. However, after the exercise, the leadership of this department was assured by Dr. Fernando Ferreira, graciously, until September 2018.
Under the financial restructuring plan contracted, and consequent recapitalization of the Company, the following operations, previously approved by the Company's General Meeting of 23 July 2013, following the prior approval thereof by the General Meeting of Sporting Clube de Portugal, of 30 June 2013, were implemented:
(category B) of SPORTING SAD at a conversion price of 1 Euro each, with a conditional annual gross interest rate of 4%, due when SPORTING SAD has distributable earnings in the financial period ended prior to the annual interest payment date. The issue was executed through private placement with payment in kind, consisting of the conversion of loans held in SPORTING SAD by Novo Banco, S.A., amounting to 24 million Euros and by Banco Comercial Português, S.A., amounting to 56 million Euros.
In April 2018, still under the agreement of financial and corporate restructuring of the Sporting Group signed on November 14, 2014 between Sporting Group and the banks (Millenniumbcp and Novo Banco) a principle of agreement was reached for the renegotiation and amendment of some terms of the Framework Agreement and Financial Contracts, of which we highlight the most significant:
Sporting Clube de Portugal - Futebol, SAD has a bond loan of EUR €30,000,000, within the framework of the issue "Sporting SAD 2015-2018" under the code ISIN PTSCPFOE0002, whose full repayment was scheduled for 25 May 2018. On 20 May 2018, the General Meeting of bondholders resolved unanimously to change the terms and conditions of the Bonds and, in particular, to change their repayment date from 25 May 2018 to 26 November 2018, with changes to the clauses "Term of the Loan" and "Reimbursement" of the Technical File.
After this extension, a new bond loan process was initiated, but the succession of events and the instability experienced at the end of the year did not allow the Company to pursue this objective, and the conditions and the necessary confidence for the CMVM approve a Prospect
It is the belief of the Board of Directors of Sporting SAD that, after this year, it will be met the necessary conditions for the issuance of one or more bond loans up to the maximum amount of 60 million euros, as approved by the General Meeting of the Company. It should also be noted that the Board of Directors has made the necessary efforts complete this operation by the end of the year and is also analysing new sources of financing for the Company.
The Company presents, as at 30 June 2018, a negative equity value causing SPORTING SAD to be in the situation referred to in art. 35 of the Commercial Companies Code.
In this context, in compliance with the provisions of that article, the shareholders shall decide at the General Meeting as to the possibility of the:
a) dissolution of the company;
b) reduction of the share capital;
c) realization of cash contributions that maintain, at least, a two-thirds coverage of the share capital; and / or
d) taking of concrete measures aimed at maintaining, at least, a two-thirds coverage of the share capital.
Nevertheless, it is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the course charted for SPORTING SAD, with the guidelines previously announced, sustained and based on the financial restructuring project already implemented and taking into account the subsequent facts contained in the present report, will enable the SAD to create value, generate profits and overcome the situation in which it finds itself of having lost half of its share capital.
Following the unilateral terminations without just cause of nine players from Sporting SAD at the beginning of June 2018, each process had its own development until the date of release of the Financial Statements, for which these processes are detailed in note 32 of the annex to the Financial Statements.
In the context of the squad preparation for sports season 2017/2018, taking into account the sports objectives defined, and the need an efficient and rational management of Sporting SAD's professional squad, the following transactions related to athletes were undertaken:

Taking into account the challenges facing the future of Sporting SAD, several measures were adopted to ensure the financial stability of the company, namely the resumption of the bond issue process in 2018, and the necessary interactions with the CMVM for this purpose. In a logic of progressive reduction of the operational deficits of society, it is essential to promote new sources of revenue for the future, and we are confident of the opportunities that the Sporting brand can make profitable.

SPORTING CLUBE DE PORTUGAL – Futebol, SAD (henceforth designated by "Sporting SAD", "SAD" or "Company"), headquartered in José de Alvalade stadium in Lisbon, was constituted by public deed on 28 October 1997, with an initial capital of Euro 34.9 million, with a call for public subscription, governed by the special legal regime established by Decree-Law No. 67/97 of 3 April.
On 30 November 2010, Sporting SAD acquired SCS – Sporting Comércio e Serviços SA equity to Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sporting SGPS.

On 21 November 2014 a public deed for the merge by incorporation between Sporting Patrimonio e Marketing, SA and Sporting SAD was granted. The merge followed the legal means provided by point a), paragraph 4 of Article 97 of the Portuguese Companies Code - mergers by incorporation - and therefore the assets of Sporting Patrimonio e Marketing SA (merged company) were transferred to Sporting SAD (acquiring company), with the consequent extinction of the first, which led to an increase in share capital of the company by an amount of Euro 8 million.
The Company's social object is the participation in professional football competitions, promotion and organization of sports events as well as the promotion and development of activities related to professionalized football. Sporting SAD securities (shares) are listed in Euronext Lisbon.

On 21 November 2014, the deed of SPM (incorporated society) with Sporting SAD (acquiring company) in the form of merger was performed, pursuant to point a), paragraph 4 of Article 97 of the Portuguese Companies Code, to transfer the assets of SPM, which included the extension of the surface rights of the José Alvalade stadium and the multisport building worth Euro 73 million, whose term expires on 4 April 2063. The merger had accounting impacts from 1 October 2014, onwards. That merger resulted in an increase in share capital of the Company for Euro 8 million, which rose to Euro 47 million.
It should be noted that SPM had as social object the development, construction, management and operation of the new stadium, including all operations related to the management and administration of the interior and exterior of the stadium and its facilities, recreational areas incorporated into the new stadium, commercial activity in general and marketing, marketing of brands and image rights, by any means or media and the organization of events of all kinds, namely, cultural, sports and music. By merging these activities and the substantial resources required for its implementation were transferred to the sphere of Sporting SAD.

On 16 December 2014, the Company issued marketable securities mandatorily convertible into shares of the Company (convertible bonds), amounting to Euro 80 million, with a nominal value of Euro 1 each, with a term of 12 years, at subscription price of Euro 1 each.
The former will be convertible into common shares (category B) of Sporting SAD with a conversion price of Euro 1 each, with gross annual interest conditional rate of 4% due when there are distributable earnings by Sporting SAD in the financial year ended prior to the date payment of annual interest.
The issuance was carried out through private subscription with cash payments consisting of the conversion of credits held on the Sporting SAD by Novo Banco, SA, amounting to Euro 24 million and Banco Comercial Português, SA, amounting to Euro 56 million.
On 8 January 2016, by deliberation of the marketable securities mandatorily convertible holders in a general assembly, and regarding the issuance named "VALORES SPORTING 2010" a modification of the following terms and conditions of bonds issued on 14 January 2011, with a nominal value of 1 Euro, totalling Euro 55 million was made as follows:

The board of directors considers that the amount paid on this acquisition will be fully recovered with the future sale of the economic rights.
The Fund was liquidated on 1 June 2015, and terminated on 5 June 2015, with the consequent transfer of existing economic rights in the assets of the respective portfolio for Sporting SAD, as the sole participant of the Fund.

The Board of Directors of the Company considers that this operation proves to be of great importance as it has contributed to the improvement of Sporting SAD's equity and is therefore analysing and structuring the transaction, together with its legal and tax advisors.

Following the referred prorogation, it was initialized an issuance process of a new shareholder loan, however the occurred events afterwards and verified instability at the end of the period did not allow the Company to pursue such goal, given that not all the conditions and trust necessary for the Market Regulator were present to approve the Brochure.

IFRS 9 was endorsed by European Commission Regulation 2067/2016, 22 November 2016. IFRS 9 incorporates three distinct views: financial instruments classification and measurement, financial assets impairment and hedge accounting.
IFRS 9 is applicable to periods beginning 1 January 2018 (with option of early adoption). Excepting hedge accounting, the retrospective application is mandatory but without the obligation of comparative information disclosure. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally prospectively applied, with some exceptions. The Company will adopt this standard in its mandatory application date.
In general, there are no significant impacts expected in the Company's Financial Statements.
The Company analysed preliminarily the impact of IFRS 9 adoption in its financial assets and liabilities in order to identify and evaluate the qualitative and quantitative impacts of the adoption. Following, the main impacts are as follows:
IFRS 9 determines that the classification and measurement of financial assets are based on the business model used by the management and contractual cash flows characteristics. As such, financial assets are measured at amortized cost if held in a contractual cash flow perspective and the remaining measured at fair
value recognized in Statement of Comprehensive Income of the period (if that is an intention to sell the assets) or through results (if not in any of the previous models). Concerning financial liabilities classification and measurement, the changes applied facing IAS 39 are not significant and so, Sporting SAD does not expect significant impacts in its Financial Position or Equity resulting from the application of this standard.
IFRS 9 stablishes a new impairment model based of expected losses, against the present incurred losses of IAS 39. Thus, it is no longer necessary that the eventual loss occur for an impairment to be recognised. This new model results from an acceleration of impairment loss recognition in debt instruments held, which measurement is as amortised cost or fair value through Equity (including loans, bank deposits, other receivables and debt titles). If the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased since the initial recognition, an accumulated impairment should be recognised similar to the estimated loss to be occurred in the next 12 months. If the credit risk increases significantly, an accumulated impairment loss equals to the expected estimated loss until assets' maturity must be recognised. Once verified the loss event (currently objective impairment proof), the accumulated impairment directly impacts the instrument, with a similar accounting treatment to the one predicted in IAS 39, including the treatment of interest.
The standard predicts the possibility of simplified application method to financial assets that comply with specific requirements. In this cases, the impairment loss is measured, initially and during the assets period for an amount equals to the expected loss during the asset's life.
Sporting SAD estimated that the application the impairment requirements of IFRS 9, as of 1 July 2018, will not influence significantly de financial statements, considering the current policy of impairment registration.
No impacts given that it is not applicable to the Company.
IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers, issued May 2014 by IASB and altered April 2016 (adopted by European Commission Regulation 1905/2016, 22 September 2016) and effective and mandatory application to periods initiated on or after 1 January 2018 and replaces the current requirements for revenue recognition.
This standard stablishes the principals that an entity must apply to measure the revenue as well as determining the moment in which it recognises it. The main objective is that an entity recognises the revenue when it is contractual obligated to deliver goods or render a service and by the amount that reflects the benefit to which the entity is entitled to. This is predicted in the five step method, namely: (i) identification with contract with a customer; (ii) identification of performance obligations; (iii) determination of transaction price; (iv) allocation of transaction price to performance obligations and (v) revenue recognition when or to the extent that the entity fulfils a performance obligation.
Revenue related to sales is currently recognised net of taxes, discounts and other inherent costs to its fulfilment, by fair value received or to be received. Revenues incurring from sales are recognised in Income Statement when risks and benefits inherent to the hold of goods are transferred to be buyer and the amount
may be reasonably quantified. From the preliminary analysis, it is understood that IFRS 15 will not have significant impact in the way the Company recognises the revenue from sells of goods.
Revenue from services rendered are recognised in Income Statement referring to the finishing stage of the services as of the date of the Financial Statement. The recognition only occurs when (i) revenue may be reliably measured; (ii) it is probable the existence of future economic benefits for the selling entity associated to the transaction; (iii) the finishing percentage of the transaction as of the report date may be reliably measured; and (iv) the incurred and to be incurred costs necessary to complete the transaction may be reliably measured. Whenever it is not necessary to reliably estimate the closure of the transaction, the revenue is only recognised in the extent that the incurred costs are recoverable. From the preliminary analyses, it is intended that the adoption of IFRS 15 will not have significant impact.
Tangible assets are measured at acquisition cost deducted from depreciation and impairment losses. The acquisition cost includes all the expenditures immediately incurred to the acquisition of current goods.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the respective cost can be reliably measured. All other repairs and maintenance costs, other than the planned maintenance, are charged to the income statement in the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated over the acquisition cost, using the straight line method, as from the date the asset is available for use, using the rates that best reflect the estimated useful life for each group of assets, as follows:
| Useful life | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and other constructions | 8 – 40 |
| Basic equipment | 4 – 8 |
| Transportation equipment | 7 |
| Administrative equipment | 2 - 8 |
| Other tangible assets | 5 - 8 |
The residual values of the assets and their respective useful lives are reviewed and adjusted whenever necessary as of the reporting date. If the book value of the asset is higher than the asset's realizable value, then it is written down to the estimated recoverable amount through the recognition of impairment losses (Notes 6 and 11).
Gains or losses arising from the derecognition or disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the proceeds received on disposal and the asset's book value, and are recognized in the income statement as other operating income or costs.
Sporting SAD performs impairment analysis whenever there are signs that the net book value of the assets is greater than the net realizable value, an impairment loss is recognized whenever the net book value exceeds the recoverable amount. The impairment losses are recognized as period costs.
The recoverable amount is determined by the greater amount between the sales net price and the value in use, being this one calculated as the actual value of the future cash flows estimated to be obtained from the continued useful and from the disposal amount in the end of its useful life.
The squad value included in intangible assets is booked at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The intangible assets are only recognized if it is likely that they will result in future economic benefits for Sporting SAD, are controlled by the Company and can be measured reasonably.
This accounting caption contains the incurred costs with the acquisition, registration and economic rights of professional players as well as other related expenses, such as the intermediation commissions and signature premiums, net from the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. As such, the cost of acquisition incorporates the holder entity reimbursement amount and other intermediate costs on the transaction.
Whenever the reimbursements related with the sports rights acquisition of players generates an obligation that is dependent of future factors not fully under the Company control, particularly when the payments are subordinate to player work contract maintenance, those future obligations are not considered in the initial acquisition value, and subsequently, in the liability, being recognized in period results according with the service line.
The sports rights of players are subject to amortizations on a monthly basis, on a straight-line method over the period of the contracts, in accordance with Law No. 103/97 of 13 September.
The expenses incurred with the renewal / extension of sports employment contracts with players are also recorded under this caption and a new net book value is calculated, which is amortized according to the new period of employment.
At the time of actual sale of the players' rights, the gains and losses from the sale are recognized in the income statement. In situations where Sporting SAD continues to hold a certain percentage of economic rights in the future a contingent asset is disclosed.
Situations where Sporting SAD owns less than 100% of the economic rights while maintaining all the sports right, means that Sporting SAD concluded with third parties an association agreement of economic interests which constitutes an investment partnership, resulting in the proportional sharing of the results related to the future transaction of these rights, remaining as intangible assets in the Statement of Financial Position of Sporting SAD.
In situations where Sporting SAD has players transferred temporarily to other entities, these players are part of the value of the squad, since there is no actual sale. Thus, the expenses incurred on the acquisition of a players passes, which are temporarily transferred to third party clubs, remain an intangible asset in the Statement of Financial Position of Sporting SAD, maintaining the amortization criteria for as long as the contract is in force.
Sporting SAD performs impairment tests annually and when there are indications that its assets have a net book value exceeding the estimated realizable value, and therefore an impairment loss is recognized when the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. These impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
Intangible assets are only recognized when they are identifiable, controllable and can be reasonably measured and when it is likely that they will generate future economic benefits for the Company.
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less depreciation and impairment losses, by the straight-line method. The useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed annually. The effect of changes in these estimates is recognized prospectively in the income statement.
The intangible assets include mostly the surface rights of the José Alvalade stadium and multisport building, whose term ends on 4 April 2063. It will be amortized over the duration of the term.
Sporting SAD performs impairment tests annually and when there are indications that its assets have a net book value exceeding the estimated realizable value, and therefore an impairment loss is recognized when the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. These impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
For conducting impairment tests of intangible assets, the former are associated with the lowest cashgenerating unit to which it belongs (stadium).
Tangible fixed assets acquired under financial leasing contracts and the corresponding liabilities are recorded using the financial method.
According to this method the cost of the asset is recorded in tangible fixed assets, the corresponding liability is recorded in Interest-bearing liabilities heading, the interest included in the lease instalments and depreciation of the assets, calculated as described in Note 1.4, is recorded as an expense in the income statement for the year to which they relate.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and associated rewards of ownership are retained by the tenant are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessor, are recorded in the income statement during the lease term.
Granted loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in the market. They arise when the Company provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.
They are included in current assets, except when dealing with assets with maturities greater than 12 months after the date of financial position. These are classified as non-current assets.
Loans and receivables are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.
Impairment losses are recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not receive the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. To this end, the Company takes into consideration market information showing:
If the counterparty presents significant financial difficulties;
Any impairment losses are recognized as an expense in "Impairment losses on receivables", reflecting their expected net realizable value.
Impairment tests are made whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset recorded may be greater than its recoverable amount. When the recoverable amount of an asset is less than the amount for which an impairment loss is recorded, it is recognized in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is the higher between the net selling price and value in use. Net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in a transaction between knowledgeable parties, less its disposal costs. The value in use of an asset is the present value of estimated future cash flows arising from its continued use until the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each individual asset.
When there are indications that impairment losses recorded in prior years have been reversed or reduced a reassessment of the situations that gave rise to the impairment record is performed. The reversal of the impairment is recorded in the income statement and is made up to the amount that would be recognized, net of amortization, if the impairment loss had not been recorded in previous periods.
The balances from customers and other current receivables are recorded at nominal value less impairment losses necessary to place them at their expected net realizable value.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire or transferred to other parties, such as all the risks and rewards of ownership. The transference of the right to receive cash flows from the assets (e.g. factoring) only gives way to its write-off in the case where the credit risk and default are transferred to a third party. Otherwise, the amount received for the transfer is treated as borrowings.
Impairment losses are recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not receive the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. To this end, the Company takes into consideration market information showing:
The amounts receivable that are represented by discounted bills not yet due at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial position until the date of receipt.
Inventories are valued at the lower between the cost and net realizable value. Inventories are initially recognized at cost, which includes all costs incurred and commercial discounts obtained in the purchase process until the entry into storage. For the purposes of valuation of warehouse outlets, the Company uses the weighted average cost.
The cash and cash equivalents includes the amounts registered in balances with maturity of less than three months and also the cash and deposits in credit institutions, whose values are considered in the statement of cash flows.
The cash and cash equivalents includes cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments with original maturities of 3 months which can be mobilized immediately without any significant risk of fluctuations in value.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, to the amount received from the issuance.
Expenses directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options for the acquisition of a business are included in the acquisition cost as part of the purchase price.
Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any differences between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and redemption value are recognized in the income statement over the debt period, using the method of effective interest rate.
Any differences between the estimated refunds at baseline and reimbursements actually paid over the duration of financing implies the revaluation of amortized cost using the present value calculation of estimated future repayments at the original effective interest rate. The corresponding adjustment is recognized in earnings.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of financial reporting.
Financial charges related to loans, are generally recognized as financial costs, in accordance with the accrual basis.
Financial charges on loans directly related to the acquisition, construction (if the construction period exceeds one year) or production of fixed assets are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset.
Capitalization of these charges begins after the start of preparation for construction or development of the asset and is suspended after its utilization begins or when the execution of the project is suspended or substantially complete.
Financial instruments other than derivatives that contain a liability component and an equity component are classified as compound financial instruments.
The mandatorily convertible securities fall within the definition of compound financial instruments given their mandatory conversion into the Company's equity instruments at maturity.
For these instruments to be considered as compound financial instruments, the number of shares to be issued upon conversion is determined on the date of issue and do not vary with changes in their fair value.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the present value of the future interest payments, discounted at the market interest rate applicable to similar liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the current value of the compound financial instrument and the present value of the liability component. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial balance values.
Subsequently, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost, recognizing the interest cost on results through the effective interest rate method. The equity component value is not re-evaluated after initial recognition except on conversion events or maturity of the instruments.
To measure the financial liability component, the obligation to pay interests or delivery of cash does not need to occur in a certain form; it may be contingent on the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events (or result of uncertain circumstances) that are out of control of the issuer and the subscriber – the existence of a contingent obligation.
There are three exceptions for an event of circumstance not controlled by the issuer not to meet the definition of a contingent obligation event, as stated by IAS 32.
A contingent obligation is not genuine if the obligation of the delivery of cash or other financial asset only occurs as a result of an event extremely rare, unusual or a low probability of occurrence, in this case the contingent obligation is not considered for purposes of the financial instrument classification, i.e. to assess whether there is characteristic of debt or equity.
Suppliers and other creditors are classified according to their maturity is less than 12 months from the date of the balance sheet in current liabilities or non-current, respectively.
Supplier's balances and other payables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal, contractual or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is likely that an outflow and / or surrender of resources will be made in order to settle the obligation; and that a reliable estimate of the obligation's amount can be calculated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of expenses that are expected to incur to comply with the obligations of Sporting SAD. If applicable, the effect of temporal adjustment of the obligation is recognized in the income statement.
Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are reviewed at the reporting date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date.
Sporting SAD records its income and expenses, as they are generated, in accordance with the accrual basis, regardless of when they are received or paid.
The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses are recorded under "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities".
The revenue from sponsorship, advertising, broadcasting rights for football games and concession areas is recognized according to the duration of the respective contracts.
The income from the ticket office is recognized as revenue at the time the games are held. Revenues from the sale of season tickets are recognized throughout the sports season.
Sporting SAD recognizes revenues and game premiums in income in the period in which they are performed.
Fixed bonuses obtained from the right to participate in European football competitions are recognized in the year in which the participation in these competitions occurs.
Results from the alienation of sports rights of players are recorded in the income statement as gains on transactions of players' sports rights by the total amount of transaction net of the book value at the date of the sale and other expenses incurred, including spending on intermediary services, charged responsibilities with the solidarity mechanism, among others. Where relevant, it is considered while determining the transaction value, the effect of the financial discount of related non-current receivables. The recognition of revenue is made in the period in which it is considered that the risks and benefits of sports rights of professional players substantially transferred.
When risks and benefits are not significantly transferred, the financial flows resulting from the conclusion of these contracts with partner's / investment funds are recorded in liabilities.
At the time of sale of a player's registration, the values to deliver to the fund from the sale to a third party, correspond to the proportional part of the economic rights transferred to the fund, and if applicable, net of amounts paid by the fund for the cost of sale. These costs are recorded on "gains on transactions of players 'sports rights" in situations where it is distinct from the liability recorded at the date of sale.
Gains arising from the compensation received from the transfer of players to third parties are recognized with their contractual commitment within the period to which the transfer relates.
Gains associated to the solidarity mechanism by which the entity that formed the player is entitled to compensation in the event of subsequent transfer of player's registration, are recognized at the time that Sporting SAD becomes entitled to receive such compensation.
Net financing costs include interest paid on loans, interest received from financial applications, dividends received, gains and losses from foreign exchange differences, gains and losses on financial instruments and changes in fair value of the hedged risk and effects of differences on the fair value of debts if applicable.
Interest payable is recognized in accordance with the accrual basis, considering the effective interest rate. Interest on financial leases is recognized as an expense over the leasing period, in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The functional currency of the Company is the Euro, since this represents faithfully the economic effects of transactions, events and conditions.
The transactions that are expressed in foreign currency are translated into Euro based on exchange rates in force on the date on which they are carried out.
On the financial reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on that date, and exchange differences arising on translation are recognized as income.
The non-monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency, recorded at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate of the transaction date.
The income tax includes current and deferred taxes. The current income tax is determined based on the net profit, adjusted in accordance with tax legislation in force at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is calculated based on the responsibility of the statement of financial position, on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the respective tax base. It is used the tax rate expected to be in force during the period in which the temporary differences will reverse to determine the deferred tax's amount.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that there will be future profits that will allow Sporting SAD to recover these amounts. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically and decreased in value whenever it is unlikely that they can be used.
Deferred taxes are recorded as expense or income for the year, unless they result from amounts recorded directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in equity.
As provided for in the Collective Labour Agreement of Administrative Workers from Football and / or SAD's clubs represented by the Portuguese Professional Football League, workers who retire are entitled to a pension supplement, plus the remuneration of pension paid by Social Security, that make up to a maximum of 90% of the remuneration earned by the employee at the date of retirement, depending on the number of years of service.
The pension supplement will be updated annually in proportion to the remuneration of the respective category.
With the creation of the Business Group of Sporting Clube de Portugal, this incorporates Sporting SAD; employees moving from the club to this group remained covered by the contract, for which Sporting SAD took also the responsibilities from those workers from that date on.
These responsibilities constitute a defined benefit plan, since they guarantee the employees covered a fixed supplementary pension, in addition to the pension that they will be granted by Social Security.
This liability is provisioned in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 being the calculation of this responsibility carried out by a specialized and independent entity in accordance with the projected unit credit method.
The liability thus determined is shown in the statement of financial position under "Liabilities for postemployment benefits" in non-current liabilities.
The Company records the re-measurements directly in the statement of comprehensive income, in particular those resulting from changes in demographic and financial assumptions and experience gains in respect of differences between actual and estimated data.
Gains and losses generated by a limitation or settlement of a plan of defined benefit pensions are recognized in the income statement when the cut or settlement occurs. A curtailment occurs when there is a material reduction in the number of employees.
Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly on the control of Sporting SAD.
Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements, are disclosed in the notes when it is likely that those future economic benefits will occur.
The group defines contingent liabilities when:
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. These are disclosed in the notes when its likeliness of occurrence is only possible.
The earnings per share result from the operation of dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the outstanding number of ordinary shares. Therefore, treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.
For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as those arising from convertible debt. The dilution effect translates into a reduction in earnings per share resulting from the assumption that convertible instruments are converted and therefore the number of shares increases.
Sporting SAD has decided not to present information by operating segments due to the fact that it has not identified more than one business in their activities, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 8.
Events occurring after the date of the statement of financial position, which provide additional information about conditions that existed at the reporting date, are considered when preparing the financial statements for the year.
Events occurring after the date of the statement of financial position, which may provide information on conditions that arise after the reporting date, are disclosed, if material, in the notes to the financial statements.
The statement of cash flows is prepared in accordance with the direct method. The Company classifies the cash and cash equivalents with maturity of less than three months, and for which the risk of change in value is negligible. In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents this accounting caption also includes, where applicable, bank overdrafts, taking into account their nature on a more or less permanent basis and which are reflected in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability.
The statement of cash flows comprises operating, investing and financing activities.
Operating activities include cash received from customers and payments to suppliers, staff and other related operational activities.
Cash flows from investing activities include the acquisitions and disposals of investments in subsidiaries and receipts and payments arising from the purchase and sale of intangible and tangible assets.
Financing activities include, essentially, payments and receipts relating to loans, leasing contracts and partnership / investment funds of economic players.
According to the established in IAS 1, the "Other non-recurring expenses" reflects unusual costs that should be reported separately from the usual captions of costs, taking into account their nature and magnitude in the context of the company's financial statements.
IFRS establishes a set of accounting treatments and requires the Board of Directors to apply judgment and make estimates that affect the amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosures at the reporting date.
These estimates are determined by the judgments of the Board, based on: (I) the best information and knowledge of present events and in some cases reports of independent experts and (ii) the actions, which the Company believes that, will be able to develop in the future. However, on the date of completion of operations, the results may differ from these estimates.
The impairment of intangible assets is analysed when there are facts or circumstances, which indicate that their net amount is not recoverable.
As previously mentioned, Sporting SAD conducts a periodic review of the valuation of their squad in order to validate the existence of possible impairment losses.
The process of analysing a possible impairment of athlete's registration is subject to estimates and assumptions that involve a number of variables such as temporary transfer of the player to other clubs, age, the number of games they have not played, injury, punishment, termination contracts of work sports, among others.
Sporting SAD tests annually for impairment purposes, the surface rights that is recorded on the statement of financial position in accordance with the accounting policy described above. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (Stadium) is determined based on the calculation of value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates.
Estimating the value in use involves a high degree of judgment by the Board of Directors, regarding the determination of expected cash flows and discount rates.
The determination of the useful lives of tangible assets as well as the determination of the residual value and depreciation method to be applied is essential to determine the amount of depreciation to be recognized in the income statement for each year.
These parameters are defined according to the best judgment of the Board of Directors for the assets and businesses in question, taking into consideration the international practices adopted by other SAD's / clubs.
The determination of liabilities for pensions and other employee benefits requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the use of actuarial projections, discount rates, growth of pensions and wages and other factors that could influence the costs and responsibilities of post-employment benefits.
The calculation of the amortized cost of loans obtained by the Company, including those which are related to the financial restructuring under the agreement of November 2014, in addition to reimbursement with defined maturity, considers an estimate of anticipated debt repayments resulting from revenues from participation in European competitions and sales of players, as well as cash sweep mechanisms in the event
that at the end of each year there is an excess of cash flow compared to the initial estimates, provided for in the business plan for the period elapsing between the years of 2014/2015 and 2021/2022.
The Board of Directors on the probability of recovery of accounts receivable balances, aging of balances, debt cancellation and other factors, bases impairment losses related to credit risk on the assessment.
The impairment loss assessment process is subject to numerous estimates and judgments, and there are certain circumstances and facts that may change the estimate of impairment losses of receivables when compared to the assumptions considered.
Estimates made by the Board of Directors for the establishment of recognized provisions and disclosure of contingent liabilities are based on the best information available at the date of approval of the financial statements, including the opinion of the Legal Department of the Company and external lawyers with whom Sporting SAD works.
The determination of the total amount of taxes on profits requires certain interpretations and estimates. There are many transactions and calculations for which the determination of the final amount of tax payable is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
The Tax Authorities are entitled to review the calculation of the taxable amount paid by the Company for a period of four years except when there are tax losses, tax benefits were granted, or ongoing inspections, complaints or disputes exists, in which case depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are extended or suspended.
Thus, there may be corrections to the tax base, resulting mainly from differences in the interpretation of tax legislation. However, it is the opinion of the Board that there will be no significant corrections to the income tax recorded in the financial statements.

The "Other intangible assets" corresponds to the transfer of surface rights (on the José Alvalade stadium and the multisport building), by Sporting Clube de Portugal to the SPM. This transfer took place on 2006 with a term of 25 years for the initial amount of Euro 163,894 thousand and SPM became responsible for the stadium's maintenance, management and operations. During the current period also occurred the extension of their rights for Euro 73 million, whose term expires on April 2063.
The surface rights were incorporated in the statement of financial position of Sporting SAD under the merge between Sporting SAD and SPM – See Introductory Note.
On 30 June 2018, Sporting SAD has calculated the recoverable amount of the stadium's surface rights, by determining the usage value allocated to the cash generating unit (stadium), according to the method of discounted cash flows considering a discount rate (WACC) of 7.5% (30 June 2017: 7.6%). The calculations are based on historical performance and business development expectations of operating the stadium with the current structure, and used an estimate of cash flows until the end of the period of duty (year 2063).
In the scope of this test, the revenue from the operation of the stadium was considered, with the current structure, such as tickets (boxes, business seats, lion seats and ordinary tickets) but also revenue from advertising and sponsorships. The CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of revenue considered in the impairment test amounted to 2.95% (30 June 2017: 2.82%).
Regarding to expenses considered in the scope of the test, all the expenses such as the management expenses, costs of operation and of maintenance, were also assumed to have an increase in line with inflation for the projection period of 2% (30 June 2017: 2%). The test also included capex maintenance and replacement costs.
As a result of the calculations, no impairment loss was identified.
As of 30 June 2018, tests were computed to WACC (with an increase of 0.5%) and to (null growth in first period) resulting in no impairment losses.

The Portuguese Companies Code defines that at least 5% of annual net profit must be appropriated to the legal reserve until it represents at least 20% of share capital. This reserve is not distributable except in case of liquidation of Sporting SAD. However, it can be used to absorb losses after the other reserves are consumed, or incorporated in capital.
On 30 November 2010, Sporting SAD acquired the Sporting Clube de Portugal and Sporting SGPS, the entire share capital of SCS - Sporting Comércio e Serviços, SA society. It was later performed the merger of SCS, SA in Sporting SAD, given that both companies have similar social objects and that there are mutual benefits in the combination and concentration of their activities.

On May 2015, a bond loan was fully subscribed, with a demand of 157% exceeding the supply, with buying proposals from 4,241 investors. This Bank loan was denominated "Empréstimo Obrigacionista Sporting SAD 2015-2018" and amounted to Euro 30 million. The Bond coupon is 6.25% with semi-annual interests, and its maturity is on 25 May 2018.
The Bank loans and Leasing's amount as of 30 June 2017 and 2016 results from the finance-restructuring plan signed on November 2014 by Sporting Group with the banks Millennium BCP SA and Novo Banco SA. This restructuring has contemplated a substantial modification of the terms and conditions of the existing bank loans at that date, as defined in the Framework Agreement of the restructuring plan and the financing agreements.
As consequence of the debt restructuring process, not only the financial liability was disregarded from the accounts but also the commissions incurred. Additionally, a new financial liability arose.
At baseline, the recognition of the new financial liability was calculated at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. The recognition was based on existing market rates on that date and a capital repayment plan along the maturity under contract. It also included an estimate of anticipated debt repayments resulting from: (i) part of allocation mechanisms in revenues from any participation in European competitions; (ii) sales of players; (iii) cash sweep mechanisms in the event of having an excess of cash flow at the end of the year as compared to the initial estimates. Those estimates were provided in the business plan for the period elapsing between the financial years 2014/2015 and 2021/2022.
In the current period, the expenses recorded resulting from the application of amortized cost method related to the bank debt associated with the financial restructuring of November 2014 amounted to Euro 1,074 thousand (Note 10).
The bank liabilities by recourse factoring agreements are due mainly to the assignment of future receivables to the bank Millennium BCP SA and Novo Banco SA. The detail of the assigned revenue is presented as follows:

Sponsorships and advertising - sponsorship contracts and customers celebrated advertising sometimes contain counterparts for the SCP and the SCP C&P. These companies deduct the Sporting SAD the contractually defined counterparts.
Shared costs - In the exercise of its activity Sporting SAD uses the shared support services made available by the structure of related parties, being charged monthly costs.
Sponsorships and advertising – it was established in some contracts for advertising and sponsorship, that Sporting SAD is entitled to a portion of these, so it charges SPM and the SCP by their values.
Royalties – During the year ended on 30 June 2015, Sporting SAD and Sporting C&P celebrated an agreement associated with the exploitation of Sporting TV.
Shared costs – In the exercise of its activity, Sporting SAD charges to other companies of the Group Sporting various services of shared services charged monthly, including the grant of use to SCP.
The balance of Euro 12,769 thousand with Sporting Comunicação e Plataformas is essentially related to the transfer of future credits of Sporting TV revenues made and received by Sporting SAD.
Sporting SAD is subject to Income Tax According Corporate Income Tax Code at the standard rate of 21%, increased by 1.5% on taxable income by applying a local corporate tax (Derrama), resulting in an aggregate tax rate of 22.5%. This rate is increased in (i) 3% on the portion of taxable income of each company exceeding Euro 1,500,000 up to Euro 7,500,000, (ii) 5% on the portion of taxable income exceeding Euro 7,500,000 up to Euro 35,000,000 and (iii) 7% on the portion of taxable income exceeding Euro 35 million. The tax base, to which the above tax rate is applied, is calculated by adding the amounts not deductible for tax purposes, and the subtraction of the non-taxable amounts, to the net income. These differences between the accounting and tax results may be temporary or permanent.
Under Article 88 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, the Company is subject to autonomous taxation on a number of charges at the rates provided for in that article.
According to the law, tax returns of the Company are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses exist, tax benefits have been granted, tax inspections are in due course or claims in progress exist, in which case the deadlines are extended or suspended.
The Board of Directors believes that any corrections resulting from reviews / inspections by the tax authorities of these tax returns will not have a significant effect on the financial statements at 30 June 2018.
On 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017, the breakdown of the amount of income tax for the year recognized in the financial statements is as follows:
| Income tax | Euro'000 30.Jun.18 |
Euro'000 30.Jun.17 |
|---|---|---|
| Current tax | 236 | 602 |
| Provision / reversal for current tax | (2,180) | 3,981 |
| Adjustments to prior years / impairments | (420) | 77 |
| Total | (2,364) | 4,660 |
Current tax for the year is mainly due to the taxable income calculated after deduction of tax losses as well as the autonomous taxation.
The reconciliation of the effective tax rate for the periods ended on 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 is as follows:

The estimates included in business plans, adjusted for their tax impact of the clearance of the tax base of corporate income tax, do not support the recoverability of these tax losses. Thus, the Board of Directors of Sporting SAD decided to avoid any recording of deferred tax assets of this nature. For the same reason, there is no recognition of any other deferred tax assets. It should be noted further that there are no deferred tax liabilities in the financial statements.
