Individual Annual Report 2017

(Proposal point 1 of Gerneral Annual Meeting)

MANAGEMENT REPORT

In compliance with legal and statutory obligations, we present to the Shareholders the Management Report and Accounts of IBERSOL - SGPS, SA for the financial year 2017.

1- ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Recent data from the INE and the Bank of Portugal indicate that the portuguese economy grew by 2.7% in 2017, higher than in the Euro Zone and surpassing in 1 pp the initial estimate of the Government, contributing to the reduction of the per capita wealth differential between Portugal and UE.

This growth was induced by the evolution of investment and the good performance of exports, namely tourism. It is estimated that in 2020 exports will reach 68% higher than in 2008.

The economy has benefited from very favorable monetary and financial conditions. According to the projections of the Bank of Portugal, the expansion will continue in the next three years, but at a progressively lower pace, close to the evolution of the Euro Zone average.

The unemployment rate is expected to remain on a downward trend, from 8.9% in 2017 to 6.1% in 2020, with a reduction in youth unemployment, which is still high (above 20%).

The average inflation rate increased significantly in 2017 (from 0.6% to 1.6%), against a backdrop of a slight increase in unit labor costs, with developments in the following years expected to be in line with that projected by EUROSISTEMA for the Euro Zone

The CAPEX showed a strong growth in its main components (construction, machinery and equipment and transport material), a tendency that should be maintained in the following year, although in a less pronounced way.

The economic recovery strengthened in 2017 due to the structural reforms carried out in the recent past and the increase in external demand.

Private investment has been expanding rapidly and job creation has intensified. The challenge is the sustainability of growth and its growth to levels that allow, in the medium term, a consistent approach to the standards of living of the most advanced countries of the European Union.

2 – ACTIVITY

The evolution of the activity of Ibersol SGPS is associated with the strategic development of its subsidiaries, whose turnover increased 66 %.

The integration of the Eat Out Group during a full year allowed an increase in the size of the businesses in Spain, and the Group's turnover amounted to EUR 448 million.

Ibersol SGPS focused its activities in providing services of administration and management to the Group, mainly the management of the funds to financing the group.

Financial planning, the adequacy of financial resources of the subsidiaries, the management of the financial costs of the group and a strict management of the treasury were a major vector of our activity.

3 – ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL SITUATION

The most important events occurred during the period, regarding the results and changes in financial structure of the company are as follows:

3.1 RESULTS

Operating income was negative at 225 thousand euros, with:

a) turnover relating to the services rendered to the subsidiary Ibersol Restauração, SA, which manages the services shared by the different brands, were equal to the last years;

b) the operating costs (without impairment) increased and amounted to 648 thousand euros, higher 178 thousand euros than the previous year. This increase corresponds entirely to the loss in the fair value of the swaps contracted to cover the interest rate risk of part of the debt.

In addition, for prudence, an impairment loss of EUR 264 thousand was recorded in respect of the valuation of Change Partners.

The net financing cost was negative by 871 thousand euros, reflecting the financial gains of the loans to subsidiaries, which are higher than the amount of financing contracted. Ibersol also received dividends amounting to 7 million euros. The company has progressively centralized the Group financing and consequently the costs of commissions associated with medium and long-term "grouped" commercial paper program contracts and the guarantees provided to its subsidiaries. The bank commissions and fees increased around 130 thousand euros.

The current Taxes is estimated at EUR 145 thousand and the company recorded tax savings of 1.39 million (under the tax consolidation for 2016 and 2017) and recognized € 1.2 million deferred tax benefits for use in the coming years . As a result, IRC for the year is negative at 2.5 million euros.

The Net Profit amounted to € 9.85 million.

3.2 BALANCE

On 31 December 2017, Assets amounted to EUR 267 million, a decrease of EUR 13 million in the year, reflecting the reduction of the financing to the subsidiaries.

In order to finance the subsidiaries, on 2016, Ibersol SGPS borrowed 78 million euros through commercial paper program contracts with long repayment maturities (up to 6 years) and maintaining the same level of debt during the 2017.

Total Liabilities reduced by approximately EUR 20 million as the company paid the liability, at the same amount, it had to Ibersol Restauração as a result of the purchase of Asurebi's share capital at the end of 2016.

On 31 of December 2016, Equity stood at 185 million euros and the company maintain a strong financial health.

In addition, the company received dividends from its subsidiaries in the amount of 7 million euros and distributed to its shareholders approximately 2.2 million euros.

4- RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risk management is a part of the Group's culture and cuts across the whole organization. It is present in every process and is the responsibility of all managers and employees at the different organizational levels.

Risk management is undertaken with the goal of creating value through management and control of uncertainties and threats that may affect the Group's companies, from a standpoint of operational continuity with a view to taking advantage of business opportunities.

In the strategic planning context, risks affecting the portfolio of existing businesses as well as the development of new businesses and more significant projects are identified and assessed. Strategies to manage those risks are then determined.

At operational level the management risks associated to each business's objectives are identified and evaluated and actions planned to manage those risks, which are included and monitored in the scope of the business plans and functional units.

The group's main internal control systems are regularly evaluated to ensure conformity of the established procedures.

Internal control and monitoring of internal control systems are conducted by the Executive Committee. Certain risk areas are due to the specific nature of the business, of which the following stand out:

  • Quality, food hygiene and occupational safety;
  • Diversification of markets;
  • Financial;
  • Environmental.

Because operations are in the food service sector eventual epidemics or distortions in raw material markets along with consumption pattern changes can significantly impact the financial statements.

Operating the company as the Group's financial center, liquidity risk is associated with the risk of its subsidiaries. The management of cash requirements is based on annual planning that is reviewed quarterly and adjusted on a daily basis. Related to the dynamics of the underlying business, the Group's Treasury intends to maintain the flexibility of floating debt by keeping credit lines available. At the end of 2017, current liabilities amounted to 10 million euros, compared to 7.8 million current assets. Non-current assets include 153 million loans granted to subsidiaries, whose repayment may be requested in the short term, if necessary.

Ibersol's main interest rate risk arises from the liability of long-term borrowings in commercial paper. At the current level of interest rates, the Group's policy is, in longer maturities, to fix interest rates in full or in part. At the company level, the risk is reduced since the company has loans granted at a variable rate higher than those obtained.

5 – GOVERNANCE

Practices on Corporate Governance prepared in compliance with the provisions of article 245 - A of the Securities Code and pursuant to CMVM Regulation No. 1/2010, are included in the Report on Corporate Governance annexed consolidated report.

6 – OWN SHARES

During the year the company had the following movements of own shares:

-In September, assignment of 599,976 new shares resulting from rights in capital increase by incorporation of reserves;

-In September, acquisition of 57 new shares corresponding to the rights remaining from the capital increase at the average price of € 10.90.

At the end of 2017, the company held 2,999,938 shares (9.9998% of capital), with nominal value of € 1 each, for a total acquisition value of 11,179,969 euros, corresponding to an average price of 3.73€.

7 – Subsequent events and statement of responsibility

On March 1, 2018, draft investment tax contracts between the Portuguese State and Iber King and Iberusa subsidiaries were approved by the Council of Ministers, which attribute tax credits to IRC. Impacts at IRC level have already been considered in the 2017 accounts.

8- OUTLOOK

In a context that shows signs of a recovery in consumption, we will continue to support the very selective growth strategy of our subsidiaries in the three markets where we operate.

9 – RESULTS APPROPIATION PROPOSAL

In the financial year of 2017 the net profit in the individual accounts is of 9,851,530.49 €.

In accordance with legal and statutory the Board of Directors proposes the following application:

Legal Reserve 492,580.00 €
Free Reserves 6,358,950.49 €
Dividends 3,000,000.00 €

The dividends of 3,000,000 € corresponds to attribute a gross dividend per share of 0.10€. In the case the company holds own shares, the mentioned attribution of 0.10€ per share in circulation will stand, being the global amount of the attributed dividends reduced.

10 – ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The first vote of this Board is directed to all employees of the group, for the dedication and enthusiasm revealed that was fundamental in achieving the objectives we have identified.

We thank also our Suppliers of goods and services for the support demonstrated and we stress, with appreciation, the cooperation given by the banks and other financial institutions with whom the Group has worked throughout the year.

We also recognise the Fiscal Council and Auditors for the permanent collaboration and dialogue expressed in the monitoring and examination of the management of the company.

By virtue of the Law, PricewaterhouseCoopers will cease to be the Statutory Auditor of the company, after a long period. The Board of Directors refers the high professionalism and quality that has always been demonstrated.

2 Financial statements accounting standards

2.1. Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applied in the European Union and in force on 01 January 2016. They have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost standard.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates, assumptions and critical judgments in the process of determining the accounting policies to be adopted by Ibersol SGPS, with a significant impact on the value of assets and liabilities, as well as income and expenses in the period

Although these estimates are based on best experience of the Board of Directors and their best expectations in relation to current and future events and actions, present and future profit may differ from these estimates. In Note 3 of these financial statements we have the areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant.

The financial statements are expressed in Euros (rounded to the unit).

2.2. Derogation from SNC standards

In these financial statements, there hasn't been any exception involving directly the derogation of any SNC standard.

2.3. Comparability of Financial statements

The elements contained in these financial statements are all comparable with the previous year.

2.4. New Standars

2.4.1 The impact of the adoption of the amendments to standards that became effective as of 1 January 2016 is as follows

  • a) IAS 7 (amendment), 'Cashflow statement Disclosure initiative' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). This amendment introduces an additional disclosure about the changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, disaggregated between cash changes and non-cash changes and how it reconciles with the reported cash flows from financing activities, in the Cash Flow Statement. This amendment had no impact on the entity.
  • b) IAS 12 (amendment),'Income taxes Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). This amendment clarifies how to account for deferred tax assets related to assets measured at fair value, how to estimate future

taxable profits when temporary deductible differences exist and how to assess recoverability of deferred tax assets when restrictions exist in the tax law. This amendement had no impact on the entity.

2.4.2 Standards (new and amendments) that have been published and are mandatory for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, endorsed by the EU:

  • a) IFRS 9 (new), 'Financial instruments' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39, regarding: (i) the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; (ii) the recognition of credit impairment (through the expected credit losses model); and (iii) the hedge accounting requirements and recognition. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • b) IFRS 15 (new), 'Revenue from contracts with customers' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This new standard, applies only to contracts with customers to provide goods or services, and requires an entity to recognise revenue when the contractual obligation to deliver the goods or services is satisfied and by the amount that reflects the consideration the entity is expected to be entitled to, following a five step approach. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • c) IFRS 16 (new), 'Leases' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This new standard replaces the IAS 17 with a significant impact on the accounting by lessees that are now required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a "right-of-use asset" for all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and for low-value assets. The definition of a lease contract also changed, being based on the "right to control the use of an identified asset". It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • d) IFRS 4 (amendment), 'Insurance contracts (Applying IFRS 4 with IFRS 9)' transactions' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This amendment allows companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in Other Comprehensive Income, rather than Profit or Loss the volatility that could rise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contract standard is issued. Additionally, it is given an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021, to the companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance, not being applicable at consolidated level. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • e) Amendments to IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). These amendments refer to additional guidance for determining the performance obligations in a contract, the timing of revenue recognition from a license of intellectual property, the review of the indicators for principal versus agent classification, and to new practical expedients to simplify transition. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • 2.4.3 Standards (new and amendments) and interpretations that have been published and are mandatory for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017, but are not yet endorsed by the EU:
  • a) Annual Improvements 2014 2016, (generally effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The 2014-2016 annual improvements impacts: IFRS 1, IFRS 12 and IAS 28. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • b) IAS 40 (amendment), 'Transfers of Investment property' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment clarifies when assets are transferred to, or from investment properties, the evidence of the change in use is required. A change of management intention in isolation is not enough to support a transfer. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • c) IFRS 2 (amendment), 'Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash-

settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications to a share-based payment plan that change the classification an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equitysettled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.

  • d) IFRS 9 (amendment), 'Prepayment features with negative compensation' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment introduces the possibility to classify certain financial assets with negative compensation features at amortized cost, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled, instead of being classified at fair value through profit or loss.It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • e) IAS 28 (amendment), 'Long-term interests in Associates and Joint Ventures' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures (components of an entity's investments in associates and joint ventures), that are not being measured through the equity method, are to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9, being subject to impairment expected credit loss model, prior to any impairment test of the investment as a whole. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • f) Annual Improvements 2015 2017, (generally effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). These improvements are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The 2015-2017 annual improvements impact: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • g) IFRS 17 (new), 'Insurance contracts' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by European Union. This new standard replaces IFRS 4 and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a complete "building block approach" or "premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.

Interpretation

  • a) IFRIC 22 (new), 'Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). This interpretation is still subject to endorsement by European Union. An Interpretation of IAS 21 'The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates' it refers to the determination of the "date of transaction" when an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency denominated contracts". The date of transaction determines the exchange rate used to translate the foreign currency transactions. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.
  • b) IFRIC 23 (new), 'Uncertainty over income tax treatment' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This interpretation is still subject to endorsement by European Union. This is an interpretation of IAS 12 - 'Income tax', referring to the measurement and recognition requirements to be applied when there is uncertainty as to the acceptance of an income tax treatment by the tax authorities. In the event of uncertainty as to the position of the tax authority on a specific transaction, the entity shall make its best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities under IAS 12, and not under IAS 37 - "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets ", based on the expected value or the most probable value. The application of IFRIC 23 may be retrospective or retrospective modified. It is not expected that its application has significant impacts.

3 Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied in preparing these financial statements are described below. Unless stated these policies have been consistently applied to all years presented.

3.1. Financial investments in subsidiaries and associates

Subsidiaries are all entities in which Ibersol directly or indirectly has the power to control their financial and operational activities, which is usually associated with holding more than half of the voting rights. The existence and the effect of potential voting rights are considered in the evaluation of the control over a subsidiary.

Associates are entities over which the company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights or on which the company has significant influence, but which cannot exercise its control.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are presented at cost. Dividends attributed by subsidiaries and associates are considered in financial results.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are subject to impairment tests whenever there are indications of impairment. An impairment loss is recognized in the income statement of the amount of the excess of the initial amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less the costs incurred to sell and its value in use. To perform impairment tests, each investment is analyzed separately.

The entities that qualify as subsidiaries and associates are listed in note 27.

Ibersol, SGPS, S.A. prepares consolidated accounts.

3.2. Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are shown at the acquisition cost, net of the respective amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. This includes estimated cost at the date of transition to NCRF, and acquisition costs to assets acquired after that date

The historic cost includes all expenses attributable directly to the acquisition of goods.

Subsequent costs are added to the amounts for which the good is recorded or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the company will obtain the underlying economic benefits and the cost may be reliably measured.

Other expenses on repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

The estimated lifetime for the most significant tangible fixed assets are as follows:

Years
Land and buildings Between 10 and 20 years
Equipment Between 4 and 20 years
Other tangible assets Between 5 and 10 years

Depreciation of assets is calculated by the equal annual amounts method, accordingly with accounting policies in force (DR nº 25/2009 14 September). Depreciation of tangible fixed assets begins when they are available for use.

The estimated lifetime of assets are reviewed each year, in which the depreciation is evaluated with the standards of use of assets. Changes to the estimated lifetime are treated as a change in accounting estimate and are applied prospectively.

Impairment tests are carried out whenever there is evidence of loss of value to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, and when necessary to record an impairment loss. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of net selling price and value in use of the asset, the latter being calculated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows from continuing use and disposal of the asset at the end of its useful life

Gains and losses consequent to a reduction or sale are determined by the difference between receipts from the sale and the asset's accounted value, and are recognised in the profit and loss account.

3.3. Impairment of assets

Assets with a specific lifetime are not subject to amortisation and are, instead, subject to annual impairment tests. Ibersol performs impairment test in reference to 31st December of each year and whenever there are events or alterations in the circumstances causing their accounting value not to be recoverable.

Ibersol identifies an impairment loss and determines whether the loss is permanent or not whenever the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of assets. In cases where the loss is not considered permanent and definitive, Ibersol makes the disclosure of the reasons for this conclusion.

The recoverable amount is the highest amount between an asset's fair value minus the costs necessary for its sale and its utilisation value. Assets are grouped at the lowest level at which it may be able to separately identify cash flows (units generating cash flows), to perform impairment tests.

At each reporting date, non-financial assets with impairment, other than goodwill, are assessed on the possible reversal of impairment losses.

Amortisation and depreciation of assets are recalculated prospectively in accordance with the recoverable value when there is an impairment reversal.

3.4. Financial assets

3.4.1 Classification

The group classifies its financial assets under the following categories: financial assets at the fair value through results, loans granted and accounts receivable, investments held until maturity and financial assets available for sale. The investment is classified according to its purpose. The Board of Directors decides on the classification when the investments are initially recorded and re-assesses that classification at each report date.

a) Financial assets at the fair value through results

This category is subdivided into two parts: financial assets held for negotiation and those that are designated at the fair value through results from the start. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired for the main purpose of being sold on the short term or if designated as such by the Board of Directors. Derivatives are also classified as held for negotiation, except if they are classified for hedging. Assets in this category are classified as current if they are held for negotiation or are realisable within 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date.

b) Loans granted and accounts

Loans granted and other credits are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and that are not listed on an active market. These assets originate when the group supplies cash, goods or services directly to a debtor, without intending to negotiate the time at which it will receive payment for the said cash goods or services. They are included in current assets, except when they mature in more than 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.

c) Investments held until maturity

Investments held until maturity is non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which the group's Board of Directors has the intention and capacity to maintain until maturity. These investments are included in non-current assets, except those falling due within 12 months as of the consolidated statement of financial position date, which are classified as current assets.

d) Financial assets available for sale

Financial assets available for sale are non-derivative assets which are designated in this category or are not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets, except when the Board of Directors wishes to sell the investment within 12 months as of the consolidated statement of financial position date.

3.4.2 Recognition and measurement

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the transaction date – the date on which the group promises to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at the fair value, including transaction costs, when the financial assets are not shown at the fair value through results (in this case, they are also recognised at the fair value, but the transaction costs are recorded in costs in the year at the time they are incurred). Financial investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash from them expire or have been transferred and the group has substantially transferred all the risks and benefits from its possession. Financial assets available for sale and financial assets at the fair value through results are subsequently valuated at the fair value. Loans granted and accounts receivable and investments held until maturity are valuated at the amortised cost, using the effective rate method. Gains and losses - either realised or not realised and arising from alterations to the fair value of the category of the financial assets at their fair value through results - are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses, resulting from alterations to the fair value of non-monetary securities, classified as available for sale, are recognised in the equity. When the securities classified as available for sale are sold or are under impairment, the accumulated adjustments to the fair value are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as gains or losses in securities investments.

The fair value of listed investments is based on current market prices.

If there is no active market for a financial asset (and for non-listed securities), the group determines the fair value using evaluation techniques, which include using recent transactions between independent parties, reference to other instruments that are substantially identical, an analysis of the discounted cash flow and refined options price models that reflect the specific emission circumstances.

3.4.3 Impairment

On each consolidated statement of financial position, the group checks for objective evidence showing whether any group of financial assets is subject to impairment. In the event of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or lasting decrease in the fair value falling below the cost value is determinant for knowing if there is impairment. If there is evidence of impairment applicable to financial assets available for sale, the accumulated loss – calculated by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, minus any impairment loss of that financial asset previously recognised in results – is removed from equity and recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses from capital instruments recognised in results are not reversible.

The group complies with the guidelines of IAS 39 (reviewed in 2004) to determine the permanent impairment of investments. This measure requires that the group valuate, among other factors, the duration and the extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost, the financial health and business outlook for the subsidiary, including factors such as the industry's and sector's performance, technological alterations and flows of operating cash and financing.

3.5. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash amounts, bank deposits, other short term investments with high liquidity and initial maturities of up to 3 months and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented in the balance sheet, in current liabilities, in the Obtained Loans item, and are considered in the the cash flow statement as cash and cash equivalents.

3.6. Share capital

When effected ordinary shares are classified in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the emission of new shares or options are presented in equity as a deduction, net of taxes, of entries.

3.7. Loans obtained

Loans obtained are initially recognised at the fair value, including incurred transaction costs. Medium and long term loans are subsequently presented at cost minus any amortisation; any difference between receipts (net of transaction costs) and the amortised value is recognised in the profit and loss account during the loan period, using the effective rate method.

Loans obtained are classified in current liabilities, except when Ibersol is entitled to an unconditional right to defer the liquidation of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

3.8. Income tax

Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recorded in the income statement, except when they relate to items recognised directly in equity. The value of current tax payable is determined based on the result before taxes, adjusted in accordance with the tax rules in force.

Deferred taxes are recognised overall, using the liability method and calculated based on the temporary differences arising from the difference between the taxable base of assets and liabilities and their values in the financial statements.

Deferred taxes are determined by the tax (and legal) rates decreed or substantially decreed on the date of the balance sheet and that can be expected to be applicable in the period of the deferred tax asset or in the liquidation of the deferred tax liability.

Deferred tax assets are recognised insofar as it will be probable that future taxable income will be available for using the respective temporary difference. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except those related to: i) the initial recognition of goodwill; or ii) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a corporate concentration or that, on the transaction date, does not affect the accounting result or the tax result. However, in respect of taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, these are not recognised because: i) the parent company has the ability to control the amount of the reversal of the temporary difference; and ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reverse in the near future.

The estimated income tax (IRC) was calculated under the special taxation regime (RETGS), and the Group decided that the expense / income recognized in the subsidiaries will be reflected in other liabilities / current assets with the parent company (Note 14.2), and the tax savings being reflected in the accounts of the parent company.

3.9. Personnel benefits

The employee performance premiums are recorded in the year to which they relate, regardless of the year in which the payment occurs.

3.10. Provisions

Provisions for costs of restructuring activities, paid contracts and legal claims are recognised when: i) Ibersol has a legal or constructive obligation due to past events; ii) it is probable that a outflow of resources will be necessary to liquidate the obligation; e iii) the obligation amount may be reliably estimated. Whenever one of the criteria is not met or the existence of the obligation is subject to the occurrence (or not) of a certain future event, Ibersol discloses a contingent liability, unless the enforceability for payment is considered remote.

Provisions are measured at the present value of estimated expenditures to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects market assessment for the period of discount and to the risk of that provision.

3.11. Costs and income

In accordance with the principle of accrual accounting expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their payment or receipt. The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding revenues and expenses are recognised as assets or liabilities

3.12. Revenue

Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of rendering of services from Ibersol's activities, net of taxes and discounts and after eliminating internal sales.

Rendering of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, in accordance with the percentage of completion or based on the period of the contract when the service is not associated with the implementation of specific activities, but to provide continuous service.

3.13. Derivatives financial instruments

Ibersol uses derivatives financial instruments, such as exchange forwards and interest rate swaps, only to cover the financial risk witch the Group is exposed to. Ibersol doesn't use derivatives financial instruments for speculation. For the carrying amount of derivatives financial instruments, Ibersol uses hedge accounting policies under the terms of the legislation in force. Derivatives financial instruments negotiation is carried out by Ibersol's financial department under the policies approved by the Board of directors. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction date fair value, being subsequently measured at each reporting date fair value. Gains or losses of fair value changes are recognised as follows.

Fair value hedge

In an operation to hedge the exposure to fair value of an asset or liability ("fair value hedge") determined as effective hedges, the fair value changes are recognised in the income statement jointly with the fair value changes of the risk component of the hedged item.

Cash flow hedge

In an operation to hedge the exposure to future cash-flows of an asset or liability ("cash-flow hedge"), the effective part of the fair value changes in the hedging derivative are recognizes in equity; the ineffective part of the hedging is recognized in the income statement when it occurs.

Net investment hedge

Currently there are no foreign operational units (subsidiaries) in currencies other than the euro, therefore Ibersol is not exposed to foreign currency exchange-rate risks.

Ibersol has well identified the nature of the involved risks, guarantees through its software that each hedge instrument is followed under Ibersol's risk policy, recording thorough and formally the hedges relationships; the hedges goal and strategy; classification of the hedges relationship; description of the nature of the risk that's being cover; identification of the hedge instrument and covered item; description of initial measure and future effectiveness of the hedge; identification of the excluded, if any, part of the hedge instrument.

Ibersol will consider discontinued an hedge instrument when it is sold, expires or is realised; the hedge ceases to fulfil the hedge accounting criteria; for the cash flow hedge the expected transaction in unlikely or unexpected; the Group cancels the hedge instruments for managing reasons.

3.14. Important accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience and on other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonably probable within the respective circumstances.

Due to its nature accounting based on estimates rarely corresponds to the real reported results. Estimates and premises that present a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the accounting value of the assets and liabilities in the following year are described below:

Important accounting estimates

3.14.1 Provisions

The company determines periodically if any obligations arising from past events should be merit recognition or disclosure.

The determination if an amount of internal resources is required for the payment of obligations is very subjective and could lead to significant adjustments, either by variation of the assumptions used, either by the future recognition of provisions previously disclosed as contingent liabilities.

3.14.2 Impairment

The determination of a potential impairment loss can be triggered by the occurrence of various events, which are outside the sphere of Ibersol influence, such as: the future availability of funding, the cost of capital, as well as for any other changes, either internal or external.

It is expected from the Board of Directors a high degree of judgement as regards the identification of indicators of impairment, the estimate of future cash flows and the determination of fair value of assets entail and evaluation of different indicators of impairment, expected cash flows, discount rates applicable, useful lives and residual values.

3.14.3 Taxes

The company recognizes liabilities for additional settlements of taxes which may result from inspections made by the tax authorities. When the final result of tax inspections is different from the values initially recorded, differences will impact the income tax and deferred taxes, in the period in which such differences are identified.

3.15. Financial risk management

The group's activities are exposed to a number of financial risk factors: market risk (including interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.

Ibersol maintains a risk management program that focuses its analysis on financial markets to minimise the potential adverse effects of those risks on the Ibersol's financial performance.

Risk management is headed by the Financial Department based on policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates and employs financial risk hedging measures in close cooperation with the group's operating units. The Board provides principles for managing the risk as a whole and policies that cover specific areas, such as the currency exchange risk, the interest rate risk, the credit risk and the investment of surplus liquidity.

3.15.1 Market risk

Interest rate risk

Ibersol main interest rate risk follows its liabilities, in particular long-term loans. Loans issued with variable rates expose the group to the cash flow risk associated to interest rates. Loans with fixed rates expose the group to the risk of the fair value associated to interest rates. At the current interest rates, in financing of longer maturity periods the group has a policy of totally or partially fixing the interest rates.

3.15.2 Credit risk

Ibersol's credit risk stems from its liabilities, in particular from loans to subsidiaries. The credit risk is assured by the company's financial Direction, taking into account the historic trading relationship, its financial situation, as well as other information that may be obtained through the network business of Ibersol. If necessary, the credit limits established are regularly reviewed and revised. Credit risk is reduced.

3.15.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management implies maintaining a sufficient amount of cash and bank deposits, the feasibility of consolidating the floating debt through a suitable amount of credit facilities and the capacity to liquidate market positions. Treasury needs are managed based on the annual plan that is reviewed every quarter and adjusted daily. Related with the dynamics of the underlying business operations, the group's treasury strives to maintain the floating debt flexible by maintaining credit lines available.

At 31 December 2017, current liabilities amounted to Euro 10 million, compared to Euro 8,8 million in current assets. The non-current assets include 153 million of loans to subsidiaries. If necessary, repayment could be required in the short term, thus supplying the imbalance.

3.15.4 Capital risk

The company aims to maintain an equity level suitable to the characteristics of its main business (cash sales and credit from suppliers) and to ensure continuity and expansion. The capital structure balance is monitored based on the gearing ratio (defined as: net remunerated debt / net remunerated debt + equity) in order to place the ratio above 35%.

On 31st December 2017 and 2016 the gearing ratio was as follows:

Dec/17 Dec/16

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Ibersol, S.G.P.S., S.A. (the Entity), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 (which shows total assets of Euro 266,720,116 and total shareholders' equity of Euro 185,192,085 including a net profit of Euro 9,851,530), the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Ibersol, S.G.P.S., S.A. as at 31 December 2017, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and other technical and ethical standards and recommendations issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section below. In accordance with the law we are independent of the Entity and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the ethics code of the Institute of Statutory Auditors.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter Summary of the Audit Approach Valuation and recoverability of investments in subsidiaries In 31 December 2017, Investments in subsidiaries recognised in financial statements amount to 103,7 million euros (22,1 million euros of holdings in subsidiaries and 81,6 million euros of supplementary paid-in capital). The referred investments are presented at cost deducted of impairment losses, being the impairment tests performed whenever exist indicators or changes in circumstances that indicate that the registered amount may not be recovered. Among others, it is considered an indicator of impairment when shareholders' equity of the subsidiary is lower than the amount registered of the investment in the subsidiary. Due to materiality of the amount of Investments in subsidiaries and to the fact that impairment tests require a level of significant judgement, namely in what concerns the projections of future cash-flows, growth rates in the perpetuity and discount rates used, we consider this matter as relevant for the audit. The audit procedures performed consisted, mainly in the following: - Analyse of the financial information related to the subsidiaries; - Analyse of the evolution of shareholders' equity of subsidiaries in order to compare its amount with the acquisition cost of the investment ; - Analyse of the evolution of business of the subsidiaries compared with last year and budget; - For the subsidiaries where indications of impairment were found, we obtained and analysed the impairment tests prepared by the Entity. In these cases, we assessed the adequation of the impairment model performed by management and respective calculations therein, as well as the appreciation of the methodology and assumptions that present higher sensibility in the determination of the respective amount, namely the evolution of cash flows, margin EBITDA, growth rate in perpetuity and discount rate, through comparable data existing in the market. We also reviewed as well the compliance of disclosures, considering the accounting

Disclosures related with investment in subsidiaries are presented in Note 6 of the

a) the preparation of the financial statements, which present fairly the financial position, the financial performance and the cash flows of the Entity in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union;

b) the preparation of the Directors' Report , including the Corporate governance Report, in accordance with the applicable law and regulations;

c) the creation and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;

d) the adoption of appropriate accounting policies and criteria;

e) the assessment of the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue its activities.

The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and disclosure of the Entity's financial information.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

a) identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

b) obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity's internal control;

c) evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;

d) conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our

opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern;

e) evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

f) communicate with those charged with governance, including the supervisory board, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit;

g) of the matters we have communicated to those charged with governance, including the supervisory board, we determine which one's were the most important in the audit of the financial statements of the current year, these being the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report, except when the law or regulation prohibits their public disclosure;

h) confirm to the supervisory board that we comply with the relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate all relationships and other matters that may be perceived as threats to our independence and, where applicable, the respective safeguards.

Our responsibility also includes verifying that the information included in the Directors' report is consistent with the financial statements and the verification set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 of article No. 451 of the Portuguese Company Law.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Director's report

In compliance with paragraph 3 e) of article No. 451 of the Portuguese Company Law, it is our understanding that the Director's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable requirements of the law and regulation, that the information included in the Directors' report is consistent with the audited financial statements and, taking into account the knowledge and assessment about the Entity, no material misstatements were identified.

Corporate governance report

In compliance with paragraph 4 of article No. 451 of the Portuguese Company Law, it is our understanding that the Corporate governance report includes the information required under article No. 245-A of the Portuguese Securities Market Code, that no material misstatements were identified in the information disclosed in this report and that it complies with paragraphs c), d), f), h), i) and m) of that article.

Additional information required in article No. 10 of the Regulation (EU) 537/2014

In accordance with article No. 10 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of April 16, 2014, and in addition to the key audit matters referred to above, we also provide the following information:

a) We were first appointed auditors of the Entity in the Shareholders' General Meeting of 13 April 2004 till the end of the period 2001 to 2004, having remained in functions until the current period. Our last appointment was in the Shareholders' General Meeting of 26 May 2017 for the year of 2017.

b) The management has confirmed to us it has no knowledge of any allegation of fraud or suspicions of fraud with material effect in the financial statements. We have maintained professional scepticism throughout the audit and determined overall responses to address the risk of material misstatement due to fraud in the financial statements. Based on the work performed, we have not identified any material misstatement in the financial statements due to fraud.

c) We confirm that our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report that was prepared by us and issued to the Entity's supervisory board as of 9 April 2018.

d) We declare that we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in paragraph 8 of article No. 77 of the by-laws of the Institute of Statutory Auditors ("Estatutos da Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas") and that we remain independent of the Entity in conducting our audit.
