Management Report

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2013

Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, SA is the company within the Sonae Group which aggregates the core activity of the group, retail.

1 MAIN HIGHLIGHTS

During the course of 2013, Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, SA delivered a consolidated turnover of 4,671 million Euro ‐ which represents a 3% increase when compared to the previous year. In this same period, the Company´s consolidated operating cash‐flow reached 357 million Euro. This figure represents a ratio over total net sales of 7.6%, 0.5 p.p. less than the previous year.

Focusing on the evolution of the Company´s activity, we highlight the following aspects:

The food based businesses returned to growth with a turnover increase of 4% to 3,415 million Euro, not only the selective expansion of its sales area (including 17 new Continente stores), but also the 1.4% growth in sales on a "LfL" basis. This growth is even more remarkable if we take into account the macroeconomic environment and the adjustment process which Portugal is still exposed to, with GDP falling by 1.4%. In 4Q13, Sonae MC sales on a "LfL" basis increased by 1.1%, which combined with the opening of 7 Continente stores, led to a turnover increase of 5.5% compared to 4Q12.

Thus, during this period, Sonae MC is estimated to have continued strengthening its leading market share in the Portuguese food retail sector1 on the back of:

  • i) Continuous improvement of the quality of products, with Continente being voted in 2013 for the 11th consecutive year, as a brand of confidence. In 2014, we have already received the same recognition for the 12th consecutive year.
  • ii) The strategy of having a high variety of products available to consumers, which enables us to react quickly to changes in customer habits (in both phases of trading down and trading up). This was achieved by having the highest variety of private label references as well as other supplier brands The portfolio of Continente own brands was kept in 2013 at approximately 31% of the turnover of FMCG categories.
  • iii) 8% yoy growth in online sales, supported by the new e‐commerce platform.
  • iv) Selective opening of stores as detailed in the following pages of this document.

In 2013 Sonae MC increase the "Underlying" EBITDA to 258 million Euro and reached an EBITDA margin of 7.6%, despite the highly competitive environment that led us to a strong promotional effort, particularly in the last quarter of the year, causing an internal deflation of 0.8% and a negative effect on the EBITDA. This promotional activity continued to be supported by the Continente loyalty card (which was the basis of more than 90% of sales in the period). This profitability is only possible with a strict cost control and additional productivity gains, sustained by the success of continuous improvement programmes implemented with the unique dedication of our teams.

With regards to the specialised retail formats, Sonae SR reached 1,210 million Euro turnover. Despite the reduction of 13 thousand m2 and the impact of the negative macroeconomic evolution on the levels of consumption, particularly for the more discretionary products, sales performance ended up slightly above last year. Private consumption levels in Portugal and Spain continued to be negatively impacted by economic adjustment processes. Nevertheless, in the case of Portugal, it is estimated that the decline of consumption pace was slower, when compared to 20122. In 4Q13, Sonae SR turnover in Portugal grew by 9% yoy (and 5% LfL), which was the result of some combined factors: 1) better signs from the GDP evolution in the 2nd half of the year; 2) the refund of holiday allowance to civil workers; 3) measures taken to reposition Sonae SR 4 main brands and 4) the strengthening of Worten3 and Sport Zone leadership position together with a double digit growth from MO turnover.

Internationally, turnover increased 5% on a LfL basis. The positive performance of the international market was driven by 1) wholesale and franchising businesses evolution and, 2) the fine tuning in businesses models and value proposals of all brands, with a special focus in the Spanish market (4Q13 was the 3rd quarter in a row of positive LfL growth for Sport Zone in Spain). These results can be perceived as the reversal of the negative market trend for the most discretionary categories.

This business segment witnessed an "Underlying" EBITDA increase of 24 million Euro to 1 million Euro, which is remarkable particularly if we consider the prevailing crisis in the Iberian Peninsula. In the 4Q13, compared to the 4Q12 EBITDA recovered by 17 million Euro, and reached 16 million Euro. This was the result of the stronger sales evolution combined with the turnaround measures implemented, particularly the new Worten and Sport Zone concepts in Spain, the rebranding of MO with a completely new collection, as well as the product improvement of Zippy. It is also worth highlighting the successful implementation of the Omni‐channel strategy at Worten, where we are integrating online and store businesses. This include the possibility of having a kiosk in the store to access the online range or to use the (reserve and) pick up service in the store.

The retail properties profitability particularly reflects internal rents, defined in accordance with the returns on the underlying investments, which are broadly in line with market capitalisation rates. The "Underlying" EBITDA reached 115 million Euro.

During the course of the year in question, Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, SA consolidated direct profit totalled 88 million Euro. This includes the evolution of Financial results, which went from ‐76 million Euro in 2012 to ‐67 million Euro in 2013, with the lower amount of average debt more than compensating the increase in interest costs.

Indirect results included other non‐cash movements, namely those impairments related to revaluations of retail properties registered in 3Q13, as well as identification of new concepts in the specialised retail formats that required strong investments and accelerated depreciations.

Consolidated Net Result for the period, attributable to Shareholders of the Holding Company, amounted to ‐84 million Euro, compared to 9 million Euro in the previous year.

2 INVESTMENT

During the course of 2013, Sonae Investimentos carried out an overall investment of 153 million Euro. This figure was mainly directed towards maintenance and refurbishment of store networks and the execution of the Company´s expansion plan, allowing it to end the year with a portfolio of 1,016 stores and a sales area of 1,034 thousand m2 (+1% on 2012 year end portfolio).

  • The investment in the food based retail businesses reached 103 million Euro. The amount invested was directed towards the opening of 1 Continente, 11 Continente Modelo (including the purchase of 8 Sá stores in Madeira) and 5 Continente Bom Dia stores as well as refurbishing works at selected retail units in order to keep them as references in their catchment areas.
  • The investment in specialised retail reached 32 million Euro, including the consolidation of Sonae SR's store network in international markets. At the end of 2013, Sonae SR's formats had a total of 167 stores outside of Portugal, including 47 under franchising agreements.
  • The amount invested by the retail properties segment reached 19 million Euro, 3 million Euro above the figure for 2012, as the capital light strategy continues on track (operational leasing instead of tenure) for new retail sales area.

3 OUTLOOK

The global economic outlook is more auspicious for 2014, with an expected growth of 3.7%4, the highest rate of growth since 2011. The growth is mostly based on improved expectations across all economic areas, especially in developed economies and, particularly in the Eurozone that after two years of recession is expected to return to growth next year, albeit tenuously (approximately 1%7) in emerging economies, growth will mainly be determined by external demand from developed markets, but internal weaknesses remain a concern.

In Portugal, the economic outlook has been revised upwards, following the performance which was above expectations in 2013, with an estimated expansion of economic activity of 0.7% and 1.5% for 2014 and 2015, respectively5 . As in recent years, exports are expected to be the main determinant of growth, but domestic demand should return to a positive contribution.

The risk factors of recent years will continue to prevail in 2014, including the external economic environment, the evolution of the Eurozone debt crisis and the degree of commitment of the Portuguese authorities with the Programme for Economic and Financial Assistance. In this context, many uncertainties remain, namely concerning the actual commitment of the authorities to fulfil budgetary targets, their ability to implement the planned measures and the financing autonomy of the Republic.

4 IMF, World Economic Outlook, January 2014

5 Evaluation of the 10th iMF Economic and Financial Adjustment Programme (EFAP), February 2014

The forecasts for the Spanish economy predict a moderate economic growth in the coming years (0.7% and 1.0% in 2014 and 2015, respectively6), mostly because of the need to continue to address the economic imbalances that will limit the growth of domestic demand. Nevertheless, we expect a slight rebound in consumption reflecting the increasing confidence of families and their private consumer spending, as a result of the stabilisation of the labour market, the positive inflation scenario and maintenance of low interest rates. The external sector is expected to remain the main growth driver, with a dragging effect on investment especially in industrial equipment. Concerning the coming months, despite the reform efforts and the results already achieved, challenges remain high, particularly in the financial system and public finances.

In short, growth expectations in Iberian countries are based on a recovery, albeit that there is limited domestic demand, which is dependent on the success of adjustments and reforms. The external sector will continue to undoubtedly be the main driver of these economies and, therefore, its performance depends largely on the recovery of global economic activity and, in particular, on the consolidation of the recovery in the Eurozone.

Chapter 2 – Identification of shareholders that hold special rights and description of those rights

There are no shareholders who hold special rights.

Chapter 3 – Restrictions on voting rights

As set in the company´s Articles of Association (if nothing is stated, the guidelines shall be those of the governing law):

The Shareholders General Meeting is made up of shareholders with voting rights, holders of shares or securities for subscription, that until 5 business days prior to the Assembly taking place, present prove of their shareholding, under the terms established by Law. The presence of shareholders who have preferential shares without voting rights in the Shareholders General Meeting, and their taking part in the discussion of matters regarding order of the day, depends on the General Assembly Authorisation.

One share corresponds to one vote.

Shareholders who are private individuals can be represented at the Shareholders' General Meetings by sending a letter to the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders General Meeting, stating the name and address of the representative and date of the meeting. Legal entities may be represented by a person designated by them in writing, whose designation authenticity will be verified by the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders General Meeting.

If the Company is listed as a publicly quoted company, shareholders can vote by mail, but only in relation to changes to the Articles of Association and Company Governing Bodies election.

Postal votes will only be considered when received at the Company's registered office by registered mail, receipt delivery, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders´ General Meeting at least 3 days prior to the date of the General Meeting, notwithstanding the requirement of proof of shareholding.

The voting declaration must be signed by the shareholder or by his/hers legal representative. In the case of a private individual, it should be accompanied by a certified copy of his/her identity card. In case of a legal entity, the signature should be notarised and should specify that the signatory is authorised and mandated for that purpose.

Voting declarations will only be considered valid when they clearly and unequivocally set out:

a) The item or items of the agenda they refer to;

b) The specific proposal to which they relate to with an indication of the respective proposer or proposers;

c) The precise and unconditional voting intention on each proposal.

Notwithstanding, what is set in section b) herein above, a shareholder is allowed to include in a written voting declaration, regarding an identified proposal, the intention to vote against all alternative proposals, in relation to the same item on the agenda, without further specification.

The shareholders who send their voting declaration by mail shall be deemed to have abstained from voting on any proposals that are not specifically included in their written voting declarations.

Postal votes count as negative votes regarding resolution proposals presented after the date on which the same votes were issued.

It is the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting responsibility, or the person replacing him, to verify voting declarations sent by mail, disregarding any votes relating to declarations that have not been accepted.

It is the Company´s responsibility to guarantee the confidentiality of votes sent by mail, until voting takes place.

The Shareholders General Meeting may deliberate at first call so long as there are present or represented shareholders whom represent more than 50% of the issued share capital.

Chapter 4 – Rules applicable to the nomination and replacement of the Statutory Governing Bodies members and changes to the Company's Articles of Association

The Board of Directors is made up of an even or odd number of members. A minimum of 2 and maximum of 11, elected at the Shareholders General Meeting.

In case of death, resignation or temporary or permanent incapacity of any member, the Board of Directors will provide a substitute.

In the case of the company being a publicly quoted company, concessionaire of the State or equivalent entity, the definitive lack of a Director elected under the provision of article 392 of the Portuguese Companies Act (special election rules apply), results in new elections.

Notwithstanding, governing law does not prevent that the substitution may be decided by the Shareholders General Meeting.

As set forth in governing law, changes to the Articles of Association depend on the Shareholders General Meeting Resolution.

Required quorum for amendment to the Articles of Association:

a) The Articles of Association state that at first call to deliberate on any matter, shareholders whom represent more than 50% of the share capital must be present or represented;

b) In accordance with chapter 3, article 383 of the Portuguese Companies Act, the Assembly, on a second call, can deliberate regardless of the number of shareholders present, represented or the share capital by them represented.

Under the terms of chapter 3 article 386 of the Portuguese Companies Act, the resolution regarding a change to the articles of association, must be approved by 2/3 of votes, regardless of the Assembly meeting during a first or a second call.

Chapter 5 – Powers of the Board of Directors, namely with regards to share capital increase resolutions

Article 5, chapter 2 of the Articles of Association states that the Company's share capital can be increased, through new entries in cash, of up to five thousand million Euro, in one or more stages, by resolution of the Boards of Directors, which will determine, in accordance with the law, the conditions of subscription and the categories of shares to be issued, based on those already existing at the time".

This authorisation was renewed by the Shareholders General Meeting which took place on 27th of April 2012 and remains valid for a period of 5 years under the terms of chapter 2 b) of article 456 of the Portuguese Companies Act.

Chapter 6 – Main elements of internal control systems and risk management implemented in the company regarding the process of disclosing financial information

The existence of an effective internal control environment, particularly in the process of financial reporting, is a commitment Sonae Investimentos Board of Directors has. It aims to identify and improve most relevant process in terms of preparation and disclosure of financial information, with the aims of transparency, consistency, simplicity, reliability and relevance. The objective of the internal control system is to ensure a reasonable guarantee in relation to the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles adopted, and quality of financial reporting.

The reliability of the financial information is guaranteed not only by the clear separation between who prepares it and the users, but also by the implementation of various control procedures during the process of preparation and disclosure of financial information.

The internal control system regarding accounting, preparation and disclosure of financial information, includes the following key controls:

  • The process of disclosing financial information is formalised, the risks and associated controls are identified. The criteria for preparation and disclosure are duly established and approved and are reviewed periodically;
  • There are three main kinds of control: high level controls (control at the entity level), information system controls and processing controls. These controls include a number of procedures related to the execution, supervision, monitoring and process improvement, with the aim of preparing the financial statement of the company;
  • The use of accounting principles which are explained in the notes to financial statements (see Consolidated Financial Statements chapter 2), constitute one of the fundamental pillars of the control system;
  • The plans, procedures and registers of the Group's companies enable a reasonable guarantee that the transactions are only executed with the general or specific management authorisation, and that these transactions are registered to permit that the financial statements comply with the main accounting principles widely accepted. It also ensures that the companies maintain an up‐to‐date registers of their assets and that the register of the assets is always checked against existing assets. Appropriate measures are always adopted whenever differences occur;
  • The financial information is systematically and regularly checked by business unit management and by those responsible for the results departments, guaranteeing a constant monitoring and respective budget control;
  • During the process of preparing and checking the financial information, a timetable is previously established and shared with the different departments involved, and all of the documents are reviewed in detail. This includes the revision of the principles used, checking the precision of information produced and the consistency with the principles and policies defined and used in previous periods;
  • In terms of individual companies, the accounting registry´s and preparation of financial statements are assured by the different roles within the administrative and accounting services, who guarantee the control of registering the transactions of business processes and the balance of the assets, liabilities and own shares. The financial statements are prepared by External Auditors for each one of the companies and examined by the management control and fiscal departments;
  • The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis by the department of accounts consolidation of the administrative services within Sonae Investimentos Corporate Centre. This process constitutes an additional level of control and accuracy of financial information, namely guaranteeing the application of the accounting principles across the board, of the cutting operations procedures and the control of balances and transactions between companies of the Sonae Investimentos Group and remaining companies within the Sonae Group;
  • The Management Report and the Corporate Governance Report are prepared with contributes from multidisciplinary teams;

  • The various documents which constitute the annual report are reviewed and approved by Sonae Investimentos Board of Directors. After the approval, the documents are sent to the External Auditor, who provides the Legal Accounts Certification and External Auditing Report;

  • The process of preparing individual and consolidated financial information and the Management Report is supervised by the Fiscal Committee. On a quarterly basis, this committee gathers and reviews the individual and consolidated statements and the Management Report. Every year, the Statutory Auditor presents, directly to the Fiscal Committee, a summary of the main conclusions reached having examined the financial information;
  • All of those involved in the Company´s financial analysis process compose the list of people with access to privileged information, and are informed about the content of their obligations and about their penalties resulting from the undue use of the referred information;
  • The internal rules applicable to the disclosure of financial information aim to guarantee its timing and avoid leaking information to the market.

Amongst the risk causes which may materially affect the accounting and financial reporting, we note the following:

  • Accounting estimates The most significant accounting estimates are described in the appendix to the Consolidated Financial Statements chapter 2.19, and in other chapters. The estimates were based on the best information available during the preparation of the financial statements, and best knowledge and experience of past and/or present events;
  • Balances and transactions with related parties The most significant balances and transactions with related parties are detailed in the annexes to financial statements. These are particularly associated with operating activities of the Group, as well as to the concession and attainment of loans, carried out at market value.

More specific information on how these, and other risk causes were mitigated, can be consulted during the course of notes to the financial statements.

Sonae Investments adopts various actions related to the continuous improvement of the Financial Risk Control System, including:

  • Improvement in control documentation Following work carried out in the past, during 2013 Sonae Investimentos continued to improve the documentation and systemisation of risks and the internal control system related to the concern for financial information. These actions include the identification of the causes of risks (inherent risk), the identification of processes with greater materiality, the control of documentation and the final analysis (residual risk) after the implementation of potential improvements in controls;
  • Fulfilment Review The Legal team in cooperation with the Administrative, Internal Auditing and Risk Management departments, and in accordance with other necessary departments, coordinates a periodic review of the compliance with legal and regulatory requirements regarding the processes of underlying government and corresponding financial information, which are disclosed in the Management Report and Corporate Governance Report.

Chapter 7 – Governing Bodies Remuneration Policy

The statutory Governing Bodies Remuneration Policy was approved at the Annual General Meeting held on 24th April 2013 based on the following principles:

A. Principles of the Remuneration and Performance Bonus Policy:

The Remuneration and Performance Bonus Policy applicable to the statutory Governing Bodies and Officers, adheres to the basic outline and main principles of the Remuneration and Performance Bonus Policy approved by Sonae, SGPS, S.A. competent bodies. It is based upon the premise that initiative, competence and commitment are essential factors to perform well, and this should be in line with the medium and long‐term interests of our society, with a view to its sustainability.

The Remuneration Policy is determined by carrying out a comparative study between market references as supplied by the various studies made available in Portugal and other European Markets.

The remuneration packages are defined based upon market studies carried out on Top Executives in Portugal and Europe, and fall in‐line with market average in terms of fixed remuneration, and in‐line with the third quartile in terms of total remuneration on a comparable basis.

The lower and upper limits of fixed remuneration are aligned with market standards which are in turn measured by the equivalent practices in comparable societies.

The Performance Bonus component which is determined on a case‐by‐case basis and is non‐ binding to corporate entities, is subject to maximum percentage limits and follows pre‐ established and measurable performance criteria – performance indicators – agreed upon with each potential beneficiary every fiscal year.

B. In achieving the formulated principles, remuneration and compensation for the statutory Governing Bodies and Officers at Sonae Investimentos and respective controlled companies will follow the rules defined below, and will be applied on an individual basis considering the governance structure of each company:

Executive Directors

The individual reward schemes are defined in accordance with each ED´s responsibility levels and are reviewed on an annual basis. Each ED is attributed a classification which internally is referred to as Functional Group. The ED´s are classified into functional groups "Senior Executive Group" (G1) and "Senior Executive" (G2). The structure of the functional classifications are based upon Hay´s International Model of classifying corporate functions, with the objective of facilitating market comparisons and promoting internal equality.

More specifically the policy is composed of (i) a fixed remuneration paid in monthly instalments covering a calendar year period and (ii) short and medium‐term Performance Bonus the award of which does not constitute an obligation on part of the controlled companies and must follow the following rules:

i) The Short‐Term Performance Bonus aims to compensate the achievement of objectives defined on an annual basis which are associated with Key Performance Indicators of Business Activity (Business KPIs) and Personal Key Performance Indicators (Individual KPIs). The Business KPIs represent 70% and are determined by the business, economic and financial KPIs. They encompass unambiguous indicators which are divided into Group Business and departmental KPIs. The Group Business KPIs are based on economic and financial indicators which are defined in accordance with the budget, the performance of each business unit as well as Sonae's overall consolidated performance. The remaining 30% are derived from Individual KPIs which combine ambiguous and unambiguous indicators. The final figures are a result of the actual performance (business results/individual contributions) and may vary between 0% and 140% of the previously defined compensation package. This Performance Bonus will be determined in accordance with the performance during the year immediately preceding it, and will be paid in full during the first quarter of the calendar year in which it is assigned. This payment will be carried out in strict compliance with the legal and regulatory arrangements that best correspond to each entity, namely via profit sharing when deliberated at the General Meeting.

ii) The Medium‐Term Variable Performance Bonus aims to strengthen the ED´s relationship with the performance of the respective companies, aligning their interests with that of the shareholders and increasing awareness regarding the importance of their performance for the overall success of the organisation. The amount pertaining to the Medium‐Term Performance Bonus is defined on an annual basis. For the ED´s, this figure represents the equivalent of 100% of the Short‐Term Performance Bonus. The value paid in Euros shall be divided by the quoted share price for the determination of the number of shares it corresponds to. The value converted into shares will be adjusted to include any variations occurring in the share capital or dividends (Total Share Returns) during a deferring period of three years. At the vesting date, the shares shall be delivered without cost, and the Company will keep the alternative option of delivering the corresponding amount in cash. The Medium‐Term Performance Bonus will be determined until April of the year following that in which the performance evaluation is applicable, and will be paid in full three years following the date on which it is attributed in the form of free disposal or discount on acquiring allocated shares. In the event of the latter, the principle of neutrality pertaining to impacts on society and for the beneficiary of the plan in accordance with the Share Allocation Plan and respective Regulation in effect for the group of companies denominated Sonae SGPS, S.A. shall be respected.

Non‐Executive Directors

No variable remuneration or Performance Bonus of any kind is paid to Non‐Executive Directors.

Statutory Audit Board

The remuneration of the members of the Statutory Audit Board is based exclusively on fixed annual amounts, which includes an Annual Responsibility Allowance established in accordance with comparable market practices.

Statutory External Auditor

The Statutory External Auditor is remunerated in accordance with the applicable Standard Fee Table as per market practice under the supervision of our Statutory Audit Board.

Officers

The same principles as per that of the Executive Directors Remuneration and Performance Bonus apply to Officers where applicable and with the respective adjustments.

  • C. Moreover pertaining to Sonae Investimentos it has been deliberated that:
  • i) Sonae Investimentos Non‐Executive Directors shall not be attributed any fixed remuneration or incentives.
  • ii) The remuneration for the members of the Board of the General Meeting of this society is composed of a fixed amount that was determined based on the characteristics of this society and market practices.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

(Translation of consolidated financial statements originally issued in Portuguese. In case of discrepancy the Portuguese version prevails)

(Amounts expressed in euro)

1 INTRODUCTION

Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, S.A., has its head‐office at Rua João Mendonça nº 529, 4464‐501 Senhora da Hora, Portugal, and is the parent company of a group of companies, as detailed in Notes 4 to 6 the Sonae Investimentos Group ("Sonae Investimentos"). Sonae Investimentos operations and operating segments are described in the management report and in Note 44.

2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

2.1 Basis of preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union applicable to economic period beginning on 1 January 2013, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), as adopted by the European Union as at the consolidated financial statements issuance date.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records of the Company, subsidiaries and joint ventures, adjusted in the consolidation process, on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for some financial instruments which are stated at fair value.

New accounting standards and their impact on the consolidated financial statements:

Up to the financial statements approval date, the following standards interpretations, amendments and revisions some of which become mandatory during the year 2013, have been endorsed by the European Union:

With mandatory application on 1 January 2013: Effective Date(for
financial years
beginning on/after
IFRS 13 ‐ (Fair Value Measurement) 01 Jan 2013
IAS 19 ‐ Amendments (Employee Benefits) 01 Jan 2013
IAS 1 ‐ Amendments (Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive 01 Jul 2012
Income)
IFRS 7 ‐ Admendments (Disclosures of Financial Instruments) 01 Jan 2013
IFRIC 20 ‐ Interpretation (Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a
Surface Mine) 01 Jan 2013
IFRS 1 ‐ Amendments (Government Loans) 01 Jan 2013
Improvements of some IFRS (2009‐2011) 01 Jan 2013

The application of these standards and interpretations had no material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been at the date of approval of these financial statements, approved ("endorsed") by the European Union, whose application is mandatory in future financial years:

With mandatory application after 2013: Effective Date(for
financial years
beginning on/after)
IFRS 10 ‐ (Consolidated Financial Statements) (*) 01 Jan 2014
IFRS 11 ‐ (Joint arrangements) (*) 01 Jan 2014
IFRS 12 ‐ (Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities) (*) 01 Jan 2014
IAS 27 ‐ (Separate Financial Statements – revised in 2011 ) (*) 01 Jan 2014
IAS 28 ‐ (Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures) (*) 01 Jan 2014

continuation of Hedge Accounting) 01 Jan 2014

(*) In accordance with the EU Regulation which approved the adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 and the amendments to IAS 27 and IAS 28, an entity shall use these standards no later than periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The early adoption is however permitted;

The Group did not proceed to earlier adoption of any of these standards on the financial statements for the year ended on the 31 December 2013, since their application is not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected in the financial statements resulting from the adoption of these standards, namely because the Group has amended the measurement of investments in jointly controlled entities by applying the equity method.

2.2 Consolidation principles

The main accounting policies adopted by Sonae Investimentos are as follows:

a) Investments in Sonae Investimentos companies (subsidiaries)

Investments in companies in which Sonae Investimentos owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at Shareholders' General Meetings or is able to establish financial and operational policies so as to benefit from its activities (definition of control normally used by Sonae), are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method. Equity and net profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately, under the caption Non‐controlling interests, in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated income statement, respectively. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 4.

The comprehensive income of an associated is attributable to the Sonae Investimentos Group Owners and non‐controlling interests, even if the situation results in a deficit balance at the level of non‐ controlling interests.

Assets and liabilities of each Sonae Investimentos subsidiary are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date or control assumption, such measurement can be completed within twelve months after the date of acquisition. The excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any previously held interests and non‐controlling interests over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill (Note 2.2.c)). Any excess of fair value of identifiable assets over consideration transferred, previously held interest and non‐controlling interests recognized as income in profit or loss for the period of acquisition in the caption "Other income", after reassessment of the estimated fair value attributed to the net assets acquired. The Sonae Group will choose on transaction‐by‐transaction basis, the fair measurement of non‐controlling interests, (i) according to the non‐controlling interests share assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired, or (ii) according to their fair value.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of gain of control or up to the effective date of loss of control, as appropriate.

Adjustments to the financial statements of Sonae Investimentos companies are performed, whenever necessary, in order to adapt accounting policies to those used by Sonae Investimentos. All intra‐group transactions, balances, income and expenses and distributed dividends are eliminated on the consolidation process.

Whenever Sonae Investimentos has, in substance, control over other entities created for a specific purpose, even if no share capital interest is directly held in those entities, these are consolidated by the full consolidation method.

b) Investments in jointly controlled companies and associated companies

Investments in jointly controlled entities are recorded using the equity method. Investments in jointly controlled companies are classified as such based on shareholders' agreements that establish joint control.

Investments in associated companies (companies where Sonae Investimentos exercises significant influence but does not establish financial and operational policies – usually corresponding to holdings between 20% and 50% in a company's share capital) are accounted in accordance with the equity method.

Under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost, adjusted by the amount corresponding to Sonae Investimentos in comprehensive income (including net profit for the period) of jointly controlled entities and associates, against Sonae Investimentos comprehensive income or gains or losses for the year as applicable, and dividends received.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over Sonae Investimentos's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill (Note 2.2.c)), which is included in the caption Investment in jointly controlled and associated companies. Any excess of Sonae Investimentos's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired over cost are recognized as income in the profit or loss for the period of acquisition, after reassessment of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired under the caption "Share of results of joint ventures and associated undertakings".

An assessment of investments in jointly controlled and associated companies is performed when there is an indication that the asset might be impaired being any impairment loss recorded in the income statement. Impairment losses recorded in prior years that are no longer justifiable are reversed.

When Sonae Investimentos's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investment is reported at null value and recognition of losses is discontinued, unless Sonae is committed beyond the value of its investment. In these situations impairment is recorded for that amount.

Sonae Investimentos's share in unrealised gains arising from transactions with jointly controlled and associated companies is eliminated in proportion to Sonae Investimentos´s interest in the above mentioned entities against the investment on the same entity. Unrealised losses are as well eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

Investments in jointly controlled and associated companies are disclosed in Note 5.

c) Goodwill

The excess of consideration transferred in the acquisition of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled and associated companies plus the amount of any non‐controlling interests (in the case of affiliated companies) over Sonae Investimentos share in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of those companies at the date of acquisition, when positive, is shown as goodwill (Note 10) or as Investments in jointly controlled and associated entities (Note 5). The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisition of investments in foreign companies the amounts of any non‐ controlling interests (in the case of affiliated companies) over the fair value of their identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of acquisition is calculated using the functional currency of each of those companies. Translation to Sonae Investimentos functional currency (Euro) is made using the closing exchange rate. Exchange rate differences arising from this translation are recorded and disclosed in "Currency translation reserves".

Future contingent consideration is recognised as a liability, at the acquisition‐date, according to its fair value, and any changes to its value are recorded as a change in the 'Goodwill', but only as long as they occur during the 'measurement period' (until 12 months after the acquisition‐date) and as long as they relate to facts and circumstances prior to that existed at the acquisition date, otherwise these changes must be recorded in profit or loss on the income statement.

Transactions regarding the acquisition of additional interests in a subsidiary after control is obtained, or the partial disposal of an investment in a subsidiary while control is retained, are accounted for as equity transactions impacting the shareholders´ funds captions, and without giving rise to any additional Goodwill and without any gain or loss recognised.

The moment a sales transaction generates a loss of control, assets and liabilities of the entity are derecognised, any interest retained in the entity sold is measured at fair value and any gain or loss calculated on the sale is recorded in results.

Goodwill is not amortised, but it is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis or whenever there are indications of impairment to check for impairment losses to be recognized. Net recoverable amount is determined based on business plans used by Sonae management or on valuation reports issued by independent entities namely for real estate assets. Impairment losses recognized in the period are recorded in the income statement under the caption "Provisions and impairment losses".

Impairment losses related with goodwill will not be reversed.

The goodwill, if negative is recorded as income in the profit or loss for the period, at the date of acquisition, after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

d) Translation of financial statements of foreign companies

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the financial statements of foreign companies are translated to euro using exchange rates at date of the statement of financial position. Profit and loss and cash flows are converted to euro using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences originated after 1 January 2004 are recorded as equity under Translation reserves in "Other Reserves and retained earnings". Exchange rate differences that were originated prior to 1 January 2004 (date of transition to IFRS) were written‐off through "Retained earnings".

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign companies are recorded as assets and liabilities of those companies and translated to euro using exchange rates at the statement of financial position date.

Whenever a foreign company is sold (totally or partially), accumulated exchange rate differences are recorded in the income statement as a gain or loss on the disposal, in the caption Investment income, when there is a control loss; in the case where there is no control loss, it is transferred to non‐controlling interests.

Exchange rates used on translation of foreign group, jointly controlled and associated companies are listed below:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
End of period Average of period End of period Average of period
Brazilian Real 0.30697 0.35076 0.36988 0.39996
Turquish Lira 0.33778 0.39651 0.42461 0.43242

2.3 Tangible assets

Tangible assets acquired up to 1 January 2004 (transition date to IFRS) are recorded at acquisition or production cost, or revalued acquisition cost, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal until that date, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible assets acquired after that date is recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, according to the estimated life cycle for each group of goods, starting from the date the asset is available for use in the necessary conditions to operate as intended by the management, and recorded against the income statement caption "Depreciation and amortisation".

Impairment losses identified in the recoverable amounts of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a corresponding charge against, the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation' in the profit and loss statement.

The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives:

Years
Buildings 10 to 50
Plant and machinery 10 to 20
Vehicles 4 to 5
Tools 4 to 8
Fixture and fittings 3 to 10
Other tangible assets 4 to 8

Maintenance and repair costs relating to tangible assets are recorded directly as expenses in the year they are incurred.

Tangible assets in progress represent fixed assets still under construction‐development and are stated at acquisition cost net of impairment losses. These assets are depreciated from the date they are completed or become ready for use.

Gains or losses on sale or disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the asset at the date of its sale‐disposal. These are recorded in the income statement under either "Other income" or "Other expenses".

2.4 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition or production cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them, if they are controlled by Sonae Investimentos and if their cost can be reliably measured.

Expenditure on research associated with new technical knowledge is recorde as an expense recorded in the income statement when it is incurred.

Expenditure on development is recognized as an intangible asset if Sonae Investimentos demonstrates the technical feasibility and its intention to complete the asset, its ability to sell or use it and the probability that the asset will generate future economic benefits. Expenditure on development which does not fulfil these conditions is recorded as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Internal costs associated with maintenance and development of software is recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Only costs directly attributable to projects for which the generation of future economic benefits for Sonae is probable are capitalised as intangible assets.

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of client portfolio's (attributed value relating to the allocation of the purchasing price in business activity concentration) are stated as intangible assets and amortized on straight‐line bases, during the average estimated period of portfolio's client retention.

Brands and patents are recorded at their acquisition cost and are amortised on a straight‐line basis over their respective estimated useful life. When the estimated useful life is undetermined, they are not depreciated but are subject to annual impairment tests.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight‐line basis, as from the date the asset is first used, over the expected useful life which usually is between 3 and 7 years. It is recorded in the caption of "Amortizations and depreciations", in the income statement.

2.5 Accounting for leases

Lease contracts are classified as (i) a finance lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership lie with the lessee and (ii) as an operating lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership do not lie with the lessee.

The analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of the asset takes into account several factors, including whether or not ownership is contractually conditioned to assume ownership of the asset, the value of minimum future payments over the contract, nature of the leased asset and the duration of the contract taking into consideration the possibility of renewal.

Whether a lease is classified as finance or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract.

a) Accounting for leases where Sonae Investimentos is the lessee

Tangible assets acquired under finance lease contracts and the related liabilities, are recorded in accordance with the financial method. Under this method, the tangible assets, the correspondent accumulated depreciation and the related liability are recorded in accordance with the contractual financial plan at fair value or, if less, at the present value of payments. In addition, interests included in lease payments and the depreciation of the tangible assets are recorded as expenses in the profit and loss statement for the period to which they relate.

The existing situations where the Group is the lessee are operating leases and as such the lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

b) Accounting for leases where Sonae Investimentos is the lessor

For operating leases where Sonae Investimentos acts as lessor, the value of allocated goods is kept on Sonae Investimentos statement of financial position and income is recognized on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

2.6 Government grants

Government grants are recorded at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that Sonae Investimentos will comply with the conditions attaching to them.

Grants received as compensation for expenses, namely grants for personnel training, are recognized as income in the same period as the relevant expense.

Grants related to depreciable assets are disclosed as "Other non‐current liabilities" and are recognized as income on a straight‐line basis over the expected useful lives of those underlying assets.

2.7 Impairment of non‐current assets, except for Goodwill

Assets are assessed for impairment at each statement of financial position date whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement under Provisions and impairment losses.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value net of costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value net of costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if this is not possible, for the cash‐generating unit to which the asset belongs.

In situations where the use of the asset will be expectedly discontinued (stores to be closed on the remodelling processes)the Group performs a review of the asset´s useful life after considering its impact on the value of use of that asset far terms of impairment analysis, particularly on the net book value of the assets to derecognise.

Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior exercises is only recorded when it is concluded that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. This analysis is performed whenever there is an indication that the impairment loss previously recognized has been reversed. The reversal is recorded in the income statement as Operational income. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to a reversal of an impairment loss is recognized to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for that asset in prior years.

2.8 Financial expenses relating to loans obtained

Financial expenses relating to loans obtained are generally recognised as expenses on an accruals basis.

Financial expenses related to loans obtained for the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. These expenses are capitalised starting from the time of preparation for the construction or development of the asset and are interrupted when the assets are ready to operate, at the end of the production or construction phases or when the associated project is suspended. Any income earned on funds temporarily invested pending their expenditure on the qualifying asset, is deducted from the financial expenses that qualify for capitalisation.

2.9 Inventories

Consumer goods and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost deducted from discounts obtained and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

Differences between cost and net realisable value, if negative, are shown as expenses under the caption "Cost of goods sold and materials consumed".

2.10 Provisions

Provisions are recorded when, and only when, Sonae Investimentos has an obligation (legal or implicit) resulting from a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of that obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted at the statement of financial position date to reflect the best estimate as of that date.

Restructuring provisions are recorded by Sonae Investimentos whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and that plan has been communicated to the parties involved.

2.11 Financial Instruments

Sonae Investimentos classifies the financial instruments in the categories presented and conciliated with the Consolidated Statement of financial position disclosed in Note 7.

a) Investments

Investments are classified into the following categories:

‐ Held to maturity;

‐ Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss;

‐ Available for sale.

Held to maturity investments are classified as non‐current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the statement of financial position date. Investments classified as held to maturity have defined maturities and Sonae Investimentos has the intention and ability to hold them until the maturity date.

The investments measured at the fair value through profit or loss include the investments held for trading that Sonae Investimentos acquires with the purpose of trading in the short term. They are classified in the consolidated statement of financial position as current investments.

Sonae Investimentos classifies as available‐for‐sale investments those that are neither included as investments measured at fair value through profit or loss neither as investments held to maturity. These assets are classified as non‐current assets, except if the sale is expected to occur within 12 months from the date of classification.

All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date, independently of the settlement date.

Investments are recorded at acquisition value, usually, which is the fair value of the consideration paid for them, including transaction costs apart from investment measured at fair value through results, in which the investments are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are recognized in the income statement.

After initial recognition, investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently revalued at fair value, without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred on sale, by reference to their listed market price at the statement of financial position date. Available‐for‐sale not listed and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, are recorded at cost less impairment losses.

Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of available‐for‐sale investments are recognized directly in equity, under "Fair value reserve", included in "Reserves and retained earnings" until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, or until it is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the period.

Equity instruments classified as available for sale are considered to be impaired if there is a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its acquisition cost.

Changes in the fair value of investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are included in the consolidated income statement for the period under financial expenses or financial income.

Held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, net of capital reimbursements and interest income received.

b) Loans and non‐current accounts receivable

Loans and non‐current accounts receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short‐term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

These financial investments arise when Sonae Investimentos provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when its maturity is greater than 12 months from the statement of financial position date, when they are classified as non‐current assets. Loans and receivables are included in the captions presented in Note 7.

c) Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivables and other accounts receivable are recorded at their nominal value and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position net of eventual impairment losses, recognized under the allowance account Impairment losses on accounts receivable , in order to reflect its net realisable value. These captions, when classified as current, do not include interests because the effect of discounting would be immaterial.

Impairment is recognized if there is objective and measurable evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred, the balance will not be fully received. Therefore, each Sonae Investimentos company takes into consideration market information that indicates:

– significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;

– default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

– it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re‐organisation.

When it's not feasible to assess the impairment for every single financial asset, the impairment is assessed on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment of a portfolio of receivables could include Sonae Investimentos past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the receipt of the full amount is expected to be within one year the discount is considered null as it is immaterial.

d) Classification as Equity or Liability

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance, independently from the legal form they assume.

Equity instruments are contracts that evidence a residual interest in the assets of Sonae Investimentos after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Sonae are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

e) Loans

Loans are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up‐front fees and commissions related to the issuance of those instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis, in accordance with the accounting policy defined in Note 2.8. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up‐front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.

Funding on the form of commercial paper are classified as non‐current, when they have guarantees of placing for a period exceeding one year and it is the intention of the Sonae Investimentos group to maintain the use of this form of financing for a period exceeding one year.

f) Trade accounts payable

Accounts payable are stated at their nominal value, as they do not bear interests and the effect of discounting is considered immaterial.

g) Derivatives

Sonae Investimentos uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge such risks and‐or in order to optimise the funding costs.

Derivatives classified as cash flow hedging instruments are used by the Sonae Investimentos mainly to hedge interest risks on loans obtained and exchange rate. Conditions established for these cash flow hedging instruments are identical to those of the corresponding loans in terms of base rates, calculation rules, rate setting dates and repayment schedules of the loans and for these reasons they qualify as perfect hedges. The inefficiencies, if any, are accounted under "financial expenses" or "financial income" in the consolidated income statement.

Sonae Investimentos criteria for classifying a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge instrument include:

– the hedge transaction is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk;

– the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;

– there is adequate documentation of the hedging relationships at the inception of the hedge;

– the transaction being hedged is highly probable.

Cash flow hedge instruments used by the Sonae Investimentos to hedge the exposure to changes in interest and exchange rates of its loans are initially accounted for at cost, if any, which corresponds to its fair value, and subsequently adjusted to their corresponding fair value. Changes in fair value of these cash flow hedge instruments are recorded in equity under the caption "Hedging reserves", and then recognized in the income statement over the same period in which the hedged instrument affects profit or loss.

The accounting of hedging derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded in equity under the caption "Hedging reserve" are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction or stay in equity if there is a high probability that the hedge transaction will occur. Subsequent changes in the revaluations are recorded in the income statement.

Sonae Investimentos also uses financial instruments with the purpose of cash flow hedging, that essentially refer to exchange rate hedging ("forwards") of loans and commercial operations. If they configure a perfect hedging relation, hedge accounting is used. In certain situations such as loans and other commercial operations, they do not configure perfect hedging relations, and so do not receive hedge accounting treatment , although they allows in a very significant way, the reduction of the loan and receivable‐payable exchange volatility, nominated in foreign currency.

Sonae Investimentos may agree to become part of a derivative transaction in order to hedge cash‐flows related to exchange rate risk. In some cases, these derivatives may not fulfil the criteria for hedging accounting under IAS 39, and if so changes in their fair value are recognized in the income statement.

In some derivative transactions Sonae does not apply "hedge accounting", although they intend to hedge cash‐flows (currency "forward", interest's rate option or derivatives including similar clauses). They are initially accounted for at value, and subsequently adjusted to the corresponding fair value, determined by specialized software. Changes in fair value of these instruments are recognized in the income statement under "Financial income" and "Financial expenses".

When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics of the host contract, and these are not stated at fair value, gains and losses which are not realizable are recorded in the Income Statement.

Sonae Investimentos may agree to become part of a derivative transaction in order to fair value hedge some interest rate exposure. In these cases, derivatives are recorded at fair value through profit or loss and the effective portion of the hedging relationship is adjusted in the carrying amount of the hedged instrument, if not stated at fair value (namely loans recorded at amortised cost), through profit or loss.

h) Treasury shares

Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost as a reduction to equity. Gains or losses arising from sales of treasury shares are recorded in "Reserves and retained earnings".

i) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury applications which mature in less than three months and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are included in the statement of financial position caption "Other Loans".

All the amounts included in this caption can be reimbursed at demand as there are no pledges or guarantees over these assets.

2.12 Non‐current assets held for sale

The non‐current assets (or disposal group) are recorded as held for sale if it is expected that the book value will be recovered through the sale and not through the use in the operations. This condition is achieved only if the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for the immediate sale in the actual conditions. Additionally, there must be in progress actions that should allow concluding the sale within 12 months counting from the classification´s date in this caption. The non‐current assets (or disposal group) recorded as held for sale are booked at the lower amount of the historical cost or the fair value deducted from costs, not being depreciated after being classified as held for sale.

2.13 Share‐based payments

Share‐based payments result from Deferred Performance Bonus Plans which were attributed by Sonae Investimentos, and are indexed to the evolution of Sonae SGPS, S.A. shares' price (Parent Company of Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, S.A.) and vest within a period of 3 years after being granted.

Share based payment liabilities are measured at fair value on the date they are granted (usually in April of each year) and are subsequently re‐measured at the end of each reporting period based on the number of shares granted and the corresponding fair value at the closing date. These obligations are stated as staff costs and other current and non‐current liabilities, and are recorded on a straight line basis, between the date the shares are granted and their vesting date, taking into consideration the time elapsed between these dates when referring to shares as call options which can be net settled through down payment. In the case of equity‐settled share‐based payment transactions, these obligations are recognized as staff costs and stated in Reserves and are recorded on a straight line basis between the date the shares are granted and their vesting date.

2.14 Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when future economic benefits are probable.

Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Instead they are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case, no disclosure is made.

2.15 Income tax

The tax charge for the year is determined based on the taxable income of companies included on consolidation and considers deferred taxation.

Current income tax is determined based on the taxable income of companies included on consolidation, in accordance with the tax rules in force in the respective country of incorporation.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the statement of financial position liability method, reflecting the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually re‐measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted and therefore are expected to apply when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be used, or when taxable temporary differences are recognized and expected to reverse in the same period. At each statement of financial position date a review is made of the deferred tax assets recognized, being reduced whenever their future use is no longer probable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the income statement, except if they relate to items directly recorded in equity. In these cases the corresponding deferred tax is recorded in equity.

2.16 Revenue recognition and accrual basis

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized in the income statement when the risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer and the amount of the revenue can be measured reasonably. Sales are recognized net of sales taxes and discounts and other expenses arising from the sale, and are measured as the fair value of the amount received or receivable.

Revenue associated with extended warranties operations, which are granted for a period of 1 to 3 years, after the legally binding warranty of 2 years, by the Retail Segment, is recognized rateably over the warranty lifetime period. The revenue associated with warranties sold but for which the legal binding warranty hasn´t yet expired is accounted under the captions of the Statement of Financial Position "Other non‐current liabilities" and "other current liabilities "(Notes 25 and 29).

The deferral of revenue related with customer loyalty plans, awarding discounts on future purchases, by retail operating segments, is quantified taking into account the probability of exercising the above mentioned discounts and are deducted from revenue when they are generated. The corresponding liability is presented under the caption "Other creditors".

Dividends are recognized as income in the year they are attributed to the shareholders.

Income and expenses are recorded in the year to which they relate, independently of the date of the corresponding payment or receipt. Income and expenses for which their real amount is not known are estimated.

"Other current assets" and "other current liabilities" include income and expenses of the reporting year which will only be invoiced in the future. Those captions also include receipts and payments that have already occurred but will only correspond to income or expenses of future years, when they will be recognized in the income statement.

2.17 Balances and transactions expressed in foreign currencies

Transactions in currencies other than the euro, are translated to euro using the exchange rate as at the transaction date.

At each statement of financial position date, all monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of each foreign company at the exchange rates as at that date. All non‐monetary assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and stated in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency of each company, using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined.

Exchange gains and losses arising from differences between historical exchange rates and those prevailing at the date of collection, payment or the date of the statement of financial position, are recorded as income or expenses of the period, except for those related to non‐monetary assets or liabilities, for which adjustments to fair value are directly recorded under equity.

When Sonae wants to reduce currency exposure, it negotiates hedging currency derivatives (Note 2.11.g)).

2.18 Subsequent Events

Events after the statement of financial position date that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the statement of financial position date (adjusting events), are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the statement of financial position date that are non‐ adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.19 Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated income statements include:

  • a) Useful lives of the tangible and intangible assets;
  • b) Impairment analysis of goodwill in investments in associated companies and jointly controlled entities and of tangible and intangible assets;
  • c) Recognition of adjustments on assets, provisions and contingent liabilities;
  • d) Determining the fair value of investment properties and derivative financial instruments;
  • e) Recoverability of deferred tax assets;
  • f) Valuation at fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities in business combination transactions.

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of consolidated financial statements and are based on best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are neither controlled by Sonae nor foreseeable, some could occur and have impact on the estimates. Changes to estimates that occur after the date of these consolidated financial statements, will be recognized in net income, in accordance with IAS 8, using a prospective methodology.

The main estimates and assumptions in relation to future events included in the preparation of consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the corresponding notes.

2.20 Segment information

Information regarding operating segments identified is included in Note 44.

2.21 Legal reserves, other reserves and transited results

Legal reserves:

Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5% of annual net profit must be appropriated to a legal reserve, until such reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable, except in the case of liquidation of the Company, but it may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase the share capital.

Hedging Reserves:

The Hedging reserve reflects the changes in fair value of "cash flow" hedging derivatives that are considered as effective (Note 2.11.g)) and is not distributable or used to cover losses.

Currency translation reserve:

The currency translation reserve corresponds to exchange differences relating to the translation from the functional currencies of Sonae Investimentos foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures into euro, in accordance with the accounting policy described in Note 2.17.

Legal reserve in accordance with article 324 of CSC:

The reserves constituted according to Art. 324 of ("CSC"), reflect the value of treasury shares acquired in the period and comply with commercial legislation relating with legal reserves.

According to Portuguese commercial legislation the amount of distributable reserves is computed considering the Company's individual financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management general principles are approved by the Board of Directors, and its implementation is supervised by the Group's finance department.

3.1 Market risk

The interest and exchange rate risk have a decisive importance in what concerns market risk management.

Derivatives are used to hedge certain exposures related to Sonae Investimentos market risk and, Sonae Investimentos does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

3.1.1 Interest rate risk

Sonae Investimentos exposure to interest rates arises mainly from long term loans which bear interests at Euribor plus spread.

Sensitivity analysis:

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the following assumptions:

‐ Changes in market interest rates affect the interest income or expense of variable interest rate financial instruments (the interest payments of which are not designated as hedged items of cash flow hedges against interest rate risks). As a consequence, these instruments are included in the calculation of income‐related sensitivities;

‐ Changes in market interest rates only affect interest income or expense in relation to financial instruments with fixed interest rates if these are recognized at their fair value. As such, all financial instruments with fixed interest rates that are carried at amortized cost are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7;

‐ In the case of fair value hedges designed for hedging interest rate risks, when the changes in the fair values of the hedged item and the hedging instrument attributable to interest rate movements are offset almost completely in the income statement in the same period, these financial instruments are also not exposed to interest rate risk;

‐ Changes in the market interest rate of financial instruments that were designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge (to hedge payment fluctuations resulting from interest rate movements) affect the hedging reserve in equity and are therefore taken into consideration in the equity‐related sensitivity;

‐ Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting the future cash flows to net present values using appropriate market rates prevailing at the year end, and assuming a parallel shift in interest rate curves;

‐ For the purposes of sensitivity analysis, such analysis is performed based on all financial instruments outstanding during the year.

Under these assumptions, if interest rates of euro denominated financial instruments had been 75 basis points higher, the consolidated net profit before tax for the period ended as at 31 December 2013 would decrease by approximately 6.8 million euro (7.9 million euro as at 31 December 2012), considering the contractual fixing dates and excluding other effects arising from the company operations.

3.1.2 Exchange rate risks

The impact on the financial statements of changes in exchange rate is immaterial, as the most part of the transactions are denominated in euro. Sonae Investimentos is mainly exposed to exchange rate risk through transactions relating to acquisitions of goods in international markets, which are in US Dollars.

The exchange risk management purpose is to provide a stable decision platform when deciding and negotiating the purchases of inventories establishing fixed exchange rates. The hedging accompanies all the purchase process, since procurement up to the formal agreement of purchase.

The exchange risk exposure is monitored through the purchase of forwards with the goal of minimizing the negative impacts of volatility in exposure level as a consequence of changes of the amounts of imports denominated in other currencies rather than euro.

Assets Liabilities
31 December 2013 31 December 2012 31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Euro 574,420 549,489 168,821 80,603
Brazilian Real 8,792,907 12,040,467 5,628,270 7,032,050
British Pound 13,478 152,474
US Dollar 1,455,138 761,504 17,608,887 9,196,314
Other Currencies 1,197 7,407 2,578

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012 the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency different from the subsidiary functional currency where the following:

The amounts presented above, only include assets and liabilities expressed in different currency than the functional currency used by the affiliated or jointly controlled company. Therefore it does not represent any risk of financial statements translation. Due to the short‐term character of the majority of monetary assets and liabilities and the magnitude of its net value, the exposure to currency risk is immaterial and therefore a sensitivity analysis to changes in the exchange rate isn't presented.

3.2 Liquidity risk

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure, at all times, that the group has the financial capacity to fulfil its commitments as they become due and to carry on its business activities and strategy, through the management of the trade‐off cost and maturity of debt.

Sonae Investimentos follows an active policy of re‐financing its debts by maintaining a high level of unused and available on demand resources to face short term needs and by increasing or maintaining an adequate debt maturity, according to the estimated cash‐flows, and to the capability of leveraging its statement of financial position. At the end of 2013, Sonae Investimentos´s average debt maturity was approximately 2.4 years (2.5 years as at December 2012).

Negotiating contractual terms which reduce the possibility of the lenders being able to demand an early termination is also considered as an important mean of managing liquidity risk. The group also assures, in its relationship with financial institutions, a high level of diversification of financing sources and counterparties, in order to ease the ability of entering new loan agreements and to minimize the effects of any relationship discontinuance.

A liquidity reserve in form of credit lines with its relationship banks is maintained by Sonae, to ensure the ability to meet its commitments without having to refinance itself in unfavorable terms. The value of loans maturing in 2014 is of 71 million euro (230 million euro maturing in 2013) and as at 31 December 2013 Sonae Investimentos had undrawn committed credit facilities of 328 million euro (189 million euro in 2012) cancellable within a previous notice of less than one year and 310 million euro (400 million euro in 2012) cancellable with a previous notice of no less than one year. Additionally, Sonae Investimentos held, as at 31 December 2013, cash and cash equivalents and current investments amounting to 72 million euro (163 million euro as at 31 December 2012). Consequentially, Sonae Investimentos expects to meet all its obligations by means of its operating cash flows and its financial assets as well as from drawing existing available credit lines, if needed.

The liquidity analysis of each class of financial liabilities is presented in the corresponding notes.

3.3 Credit Risk

Sonae Investimentos is exposed to the credit risk in its current operational activity. The credit risk in the scope of its current operational activity is managed through a system of gathering financial and qualitative information from independent entities that supply risk information, in order to allow the assessment of credit risk from debtors. The credit risk from suppliers arises from advances made to or discounts billed to suppliers and are mitigated by the expectation of maintaining the commercial relationship. The amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net of impairment losses, thus reflect its fair value.

Sonae Investimentos is also exposed to the credit risk in its relationship with financial institutions, in result of bank deposits, debt instruments available facilities, derivatives, among others.

The credit risk is limited to financial institutions, by risk concentration management and by a selection of counterparties, which have a high national and international prestige and based on their respective rating notations taking into account the nature, maturity and size of the operations.

The amount under the caption "Other effects on reserves", results mainly from currency translation figures of companies with functional currency different from euro and the re‐measurement at fair value of the financial investment in Cooper Gay Sweet Crawford, Ltd. included in the subsidiary MDS, SGPS, SA. The valuation of this investment was performed based on a binding acquisition proposal received from an unrelated and knowledgeable entity of the sector in the last quarter of 2013, which was not considered appropriate by the board of directors of the company (Level 3).

The impairment analysis of these financial investments is based on the fair value estimate, based on discounted cash flows or based on its net asset value as applicable. Such estimate is based on the fair value computation of the value in use of its holdings by means of discounted cash flow models, whenever there is an indication that the asset might be impaired, namely from the distribution of dividends by the mentioned entities.

The aggregated values of main financial indicators of these companies are as follows:

Under the caption other non‐current investments there is an amount of 12,512,681 euro (33,716,476 euro as at 31 December 2012) related to amounts on an Escrow Account invested in superior rating funds and guarantees contractual liabilities assumed by Sonae Investimentos in the disposal of Sonae Distribuição Brasil, S.A. and for which provisions were recorded in the applicable situations (Note 30 and 31). The decrease in the amount of "Other Investments" from 2012 to 2013 is related to the use of the Escrow Account for payments related to contractual liabilities related with subsidiaries included in the above mentioned business (Note 30).

Although in accordance with the deadlines contractually established, the Escrow Account should have already been released by the buyer, that didn't happen as there are some points of disagreement on the use of the Escrow Account, namely as whether or not, to retain the Escrow Account for on‐going fiscal procedures that have not yet been decided (Note 31). It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers, that the reason attends to Sonae Investimentos.

Other investments include investments in non‐listed companies which fair values cannot be reliably measured. As so, these investments are recorded at cost net of any impairment losses.

Financial instruments recognized at fair value

In 2013 the Group applied for the first time IFRS 13 ‐ Fair Value Measurement. This standard requires that the fair value is disclosed in accordance with the following hierarchy:

Level 1: fair value is determined based on active market prices for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2: the fair value is determined based on other data, other than market prices identified in level 1 but they are possible to be observable, and

Level 3: fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques, whose main inputs are not based on observable market data.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012 intangible assets in progress were mainly related with software and software development projects.

Additionally the caption "Patents and other similar rights" includes the acquisition cost of a group of brands with indefinite useful lives among which the "Continente" brand, acquired in previous years, amounting to 75,000,000 euro (the same amount as at December 2012).

Sonae performs annual impairment tests on the value of brands, calculating for this purpose the recoverable amount of Sonae MC, which is determined, based on value in use, using for this purpose the latest business plans which are prepared through projected cash flows for periods of 5 years. The assumptions used are disclosed in Note 10.

The remaining amounts that make up the balance of intangible assets in progress relate mainly to projects and computer software.

10 GOODWILL

Goodwill is allocated to each of the operating segments and within to each homogeneous group of cash generating units.

Goodwill is allocated to each operating segment, Food based retail (Sonae MC) and Specialized retail in Portugal (Sonae SR), being afterwards distributed by each homogenous group of cash generating units, namely to each insignia within each segment, and each of the properties in case of Retail real estate operating segment (Sonae RP).

At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the caption "Goodwill" can be detailed as follows:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Sonae MC 433,813,034 429,826,294
Sonae SR 60,704,202 62,030,352
Sonae RP 3,669,166 4,281,767
Investment management 3,096,074
498,186,402 499,234,487

During the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012, movements in the caption Goodwill as well as in the corresponding impairment losses, are as follows:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Gross value:
Opening balance 501,821,164 501,821,164
Goodwill generated in the period 3,986,740

In 2013 a business combination took place involving the acquisition of 8 food retail stores in Madeira (Região Autónoma da Madeira), previously held by Jorge Sá Group. The impact on the financial statements can be presented as follows:

At acquisition date
Tangible Assets (Note 10) 6,013,260
Goodwill 3,986,740
Acquisition Value 10,000,000
Cash paid 5,798,180
Amount paid in income 3,298,216
Amount in debt 903,604

Impairment tests on Goodwill are performed on an annual basis and whenever there are indications of Goodwill impairment. During the periods ended at 31 December 2013 and 2012, Sonae Investimentos tested for goodwill impairment, having as a result of that analysis, recorded impairment losses as follows:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Sonae SR 1,326,150
Sonae RP 612,601
Investment management 3,096,074
5,034,825

The impairment of goodwill of Sonae SR results mainly of goodwill allocated to stores that closed during the period ended at 31 December 2013.

The impairment losses recorded on goodwill in Investment Management follows the outcome of impairment testing of a Retail insignia included in Investment Management segment, which led to the impairment of the entire goodwill allocated to this insignia in the amount of approximately 3 million euro.

The main assumptions used in the above mentioned business plans are detailed as follows for each of Sonae Investimentos operating segments.

For this purpose the Food Retail (Sonae MC) and Specialized Retail (Sonae SR) operating segments in Portugal use internal valuation of its business concepts, using annual planning methodologies, supported in business plans that consider cash flow projections for each unit which depend on detailed and properly supported assumptions. These plans take into consideration the impact of the main actions that will be carried out by each business concept as well as a study of the resources allocation of the company.

The recoverable value of cash generating units is determined based on its value in use, which is calculated taking into consideration the last approved business plans which are prepared using cash flow projections for periods of 5 years.

The case scenarios are elaborated with an average cost of capital and with a growth rate of cash‐flows in perpetuity that can be detailed as follows:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Weighted average
capital cost
Growth rate in
perpetuity
Compound growth
rate sales
Weighted average
capital cost
Growth rate in

Compound growth

Sonae MC 9% to 10% <= 1% 4% 9% to 10% <= 1% 3%
Sonae SR‐ Portugal 9% to 11% <= 1% 6% 9% to 11% <= 1% 4%
Investment management 8% to 10% <= 1,5% 6% 8% to 10% <= 1,5% 5%

The recoverable value of cash generating units on the specialized retail formats in Spain, is determined based on its value in use, which is calculated taking into consideration the approved business plans for periods of 10 years. Assuming this is the most realistic and appropriate deadline for the implementation of the strategy of internationalization of Sonae in specialized retail segment, taking into consideration not only the nature of the products in question (more discretionary character) but also the current macroeconomic conditions and restrictions on access to new financing, which limit an internationalization accelerated process. The analysis described above aims to demonstrate the recovery of non‐current assets and deferred tax assets of Sonae SR in Spain, since it does not have any value of goodwill allocated.

12 OTHER NON‐CURRENT ASSETS

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, "Other non‐current assets" are detailed as follows:

31 December 2013 31 December 2012
Loans granted to related parties 8,665,429 18,976,002
Accumulated impairment losses in loans granted to related parties (Note 30) (1,000,000)

Total financial instruments (Note 7) 23,066,830 34,338,152
Other non‐current assets 36,909 91,662
23,103,739 34,429,814

Loans granted to related parties mainly refer to MDS SGPS, SA 8,665,429 euro (17,971,002 euro as at 31 December 2012). These loans bear interests at market rates and do not have a defined maturity. The fair value of these loans is estimated to be similar to its carrying amount.

Most significant values included in non‐current "Trade accounts receivable and other debtors" refer to:

  • a) Amounts related with guarantees of lease contracts in group stores located in Spain, which aren´t due at this date;
  • b) Amounts related to legal deposits made by a Brazilian subsidiary, for which are recorded the correspondent liabilities in the caption "Other non‐current liabilities" (Note 25), with no defined maturity;
  • c) As a result of the agreements signed in 2005 by the former subsidiary ‐ Sonae Distribuição Brasil, SA (sold to Wall‐Mart in 2005) with Carrefour Comércio e Indústria Ltda, Sonae Investimentos assumed the responsibility to compensate Carrefour for the expenses that would arise from the 10 stores licensing process in the Brazilian state of São Paulo that were sold to that entity. During 2010, Carrefour triggered a bank warranty "on first demand" amounting to 25,340,145.80 Brazilian real (approximately 7.9 million euro) for alleged expenses incurred with the mentioned stores that allegedly, arose from the need to remedy deficiencies cited by competent authorities for the licensing process. However no evidence of those expenses was presented to Sonae, or proof of the necessity of carrying out such costs for the licensing process as established on the mentioned agreements. The variation in the period is explained by the evolution of the exchange rate of the real against the euro.

It is the understanding of the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys that the amount paid will be recovered. The company already established legal proceedings against Carrefour Comércio e Indústria, Ltda., through society Wms – Supermarkets in Brazil (formerly Sonae Distribuição Brasil, S.A, sold to Wall Mart Group, as mentioned above) to recover the above mentioned amount (for Sonae Investimentos, by right of claim on the Wms). It's the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys understanding that the above mentioned amount is recoverable, since Carrefour has never proved the existence of the costs that it claims and which validate the usage of the above mentioned warranty, or through the warranty expiration date (according with Brazilian law).

According to Group attorneys, the amount improperly received by Carrefour for which a reimbursement will be requested (25,340,145.80 Brazilian real), will bear interests at the SELIC rate. It is expected that the legal proceedings will last up to 7 years, since its beginning in 2011.

It's Sonae Investimentos understanding that the book value of these accounts receivable does not differ significantly from its fair value.

As at 31 December 2013 there is no indication that the debtors of trade accounts receivable not due will not fulfil their obligations on normal conditions, thus no impairment loss was recognized.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, the ageing of the trade receivables is as follows:

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, Sonae Investimentos considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date the credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers. Accordingly, it is considered that the risk of not recovering the trade receivables is not higher than the allowance for doubtful receivables.

Additionally, Sonae considers that the maximum exposure to the credit risk is the amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The caption "Tax losses carried forward" includes the reversal of deferred tax assets related to tax losses that have been recorded in previous periods in Worten Spain and Sport Zone Spain amounting 32.5 million euro, considering the existent risk in the recovery of those tax credits within a relevant time horizon. The deferred tax assets in question could only be recovered in the individual sphere of each company. Following the revision of these insignias business plans, as well as its rebranding and the change in expectations of the group for the development of these business's in Spain, the group decided on their annulment.

The rate used at 31 December 2013, in Portuguese companies, to calculate the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward was 23%, as a consequence of the IRC rate change from 25% to 23% from 2014 onwards. The rate used to calculate deferred taxes in temporary differences in Portuguese companies is 24.5% increased by the state surcharge in companies in which the expected reversal of those deferred taxes will occur when those rates will be applicable. For companies or branches located in other countries, were used rates applicable in each jurisdiction.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, and in accordance with the tax statements presented by companies that recorded deferred tax assets arising from tax losses carried forward and using exchange rates effective at that time, tax losses carried forward can be summarized as follows:

(a) Includes, as at 31 December 2013, approximately 58 million euro (76 million euro as at 31 December 2012) related to deferred tax assets for which the carry forward period count hasn´t started. The decrease compared to the year ended 31 December 2012, is associated with the reversal of deferred tax assets in retail operations, in Spain.

As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, deferred tax assets resulting from tax losses carried forward were assessed against each company's business plans, which are regularly updated, and available tax planning opportunities. Deferred tax assets have only been recorded to the extent that future taxable profits will arise which might be offset against available tax losses or against deductible temporary differences.

As at 31 December 2013 deferred tax assets related to tax losses generated in current and previous years, by Modelo Continente Hipermercados, S.A. Spanish Branch of Retail operating segment, amount to 57.9 million euro (57.7 million euro as at 31 December 2012). The mentioned tax losses can be recovered within the Income Tax Group established in Spain, according to Spanish law. Modelo Continente Hipermercados, S.A. Spanish Branch, as at 31 December 2013 and 2012, was the dominant entity within the group of companies taxed in accordance with the Spanish regime for taxing groups of companies. It is the understanding of The Board of Directors, based on existing business plans, that the mentioned deferred tax assets are fully recoverable.

The recoverability of the deferred tax assets mentioned above, regarding Sonae operations in Spain, is conditioned by the fulfilment of the 10 year business plans, approved by the Board of Directors, for those markets and businesses that are part of the fiscal perimeter in Spain. These business plans were also used in the impairment analysis of other non‐current assets.

Additionally Spanish law allows the annual deduction, for tax purposes, of 5% of goodwill recognized on the acquisition of foreign based companies before 21 December 2007, however in 2012 and 2013 this rate was reduced to 1%. Sonae has accounted deferred tax liabilities relating to goodwill depreciation performed for tax purposes, generated with the acquisition of Continente Hipermercados (ex‐Carrefour Portugal).

In 2010 and 2011, Spanish Tax authorities notified Modelo Continente S.A. Spanish Branch of a decrease in 2008 and 2009 tax losses incurred, amounting to approximately 23.3 million euro, challenging the deduction of Goodwill depreciation, generated on the acquisition of Continente Hipermercados for each of the mentioned years. That branch appealed to the proper Spanish Authorities (Tribunal Económico ‐ Administrativo Central de Madrid) in 2010 and 2011 respectively, and it is the Board of Directors understanding that the decision will be favourable to the Group, thus maintaining the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related with Goodwill. In 2012 the Company interposed an appeal to the National Court in Spain ("Audiência Nacional Espanha"), due to a decision opposite to the claims and estimates of the Company, by the Economic and Administrative Central Court of Madrid, for the notification for fiscal year of 2008. As at 31 December 2013, tax losses arising from the depreciation of Goodwill, including 2008, amount to 83.7 million euro (79.1 million euro as at 31 December 2012). The company maintains recorded, related to this subject, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities amounting to 25.1 million euro (23.7 million euro in December 2012).

As at 31 December 2013, there were tax losses carried forward, amounting to 175.9 million euro (54.7 million euro in 2012) for which no deferred tax assets were recognized due to uncertainties of their future use. These may be summarised as follows:

24 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

In what concerns financial risk management policy, Sonae Investimentos essentially uses exchange rate derivatives to hedge future cash flows that occur in the next 12 months.

Sonae entered into several exchange rate forwards in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

As at 31 December 2013 there are no exchange rate derivatives which haven't been considered hedging instruments. The fair value of exchange rate derivatives hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is 1,415,143 euro as liabilities and 35,999 euro as assets (953,531 euro as liabilities and 30,341 euro as assets at 31 December 2012).

The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at statement of financial position date of the forward settlement amount in the maturity date of the contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate at that date as at the valuation date.

Losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the captions "Financial income" or "Financial expenses".

Gains and losses for the year associated with the change in market value of derivative instruments are recorded under the caption "Hedging reserve" when considered cash flow hedging and when considered as fair value hedging are recorded under the caption "Financial income" or " Financial expenses".

The change in fair value of derivative instruments when considered speculation is recorded in the income statement under "Other Expenses".

for proper agrrement fulfillment 15,880,490 13,884,084
other guarantees 5,365,571 12,323,171

a) Tax claims

The main tax claims, for which bank guarantees or sureties were provided, can be detailed as follows:

‐ Retail operating segment subsidiaries of the Company, Sonae MV and Sonae SR, granted guarantees or sureties in favour of the Portuguese Tax Administration, associated with tax claims for additional VAT payment amounting to 375 million euro (193.9 million euro as at 31 December 2012) related to the period from 2004 to 2009, which the Company has presented, or has the intention of presenting, a tax appeal. The increase in the value of guarantees and securities provided in relation to the previous year, mainly result from additional tax assessments over 2008 and 2009. Portuguese tax authorities claim that the Company should have invoiced VAT related to promotional discounts invoiced to suppliers which depend on the purchases made by the Group during the year, as it considers that the discounts correspond to services rendered by the company. Tax authorities also claim that the company should not have deducted VAT from discount vouchers used by its non‐corporate clients.

‐ Sureties in the amount of, approximately, 60 million euro as a result of a tax appeal presented by the Company concerning an additional tax assessment by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2005, following the correction of taxable income for that period as Tax authorities did not accept the recognition of tax losses incurred after the liquidation of a subsidiary of Sonae Investimentos, since it considered that the cover of losses in that subsidiary should not be part of its acquisition cost, which is not in accordance with previous assessments of Tax Authorities.

‐ Sureties in the amount of, approximately 50 million euro, following a tax appeal presented by the Company concerning additional tax assessments made by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2002, which refer to the non‐acceptance by Tax authorities of tax losses arising on the sale and liquidation of a subsidiary of the Group.

‐ Fiscal lawsuit related to rent tax, concerning a subsidiary of the Company in Brazil, in the amount of, approximately, 22.4 million euro (65.6 million Brazilian real), which is being judged by a tax court, for which there were granted guarantees in the amount of 37.5 million euro (122 million Brazilian real). The difference between the value of the contingency and the value of the guarantee relates with the update of the related responsibility.

b) Contingent liabilities related to tax claims paid under regularization programs of tax debts

Within the framework of regularization of tax debts to Tax Authorities, (Outstanding Debts Settlement of Tax and Social Security ‐ Decree of Law 151‐A/2013 e Decree of Law 248‐A), the Group made tax payments in the amount of, approximately, 22 million euro (12 million euro to 31 December 2012), having the respective guarantees been eliminated. The related tax appeals continue in courts, having the maximum contingencies been reduced through the elimination of fines and interests related with these tax assessments.

As permitted by law, the Group maintains the legal proceedings, in order to establish the recovery of those amounts.

c) Contingent liabilities related to discontinued activities in subsidiaries in Brazil

‐ In addition to the previously disclosed guarantees, as a consequence of the sale of a subsidiary in Brazil, Sonae guaranteed to the buyer of the subsidiary all the losses incurred by that company arising on unfavourable decisions not open for appeal, concerning tax lawsuits on transactions that took place before the sale date (13 December 2005) and that exceed 40 million euro. As at 31 December 2013, the amount claimed by the Brazilian Tax Authorities, concerning the tax lawsuits still in progress, which the company's lawyers assess as having a high probability of loss, plus the amounts already paid (28.3 million euro) related to programmes for the Brazilian State of tax recovery, amount to near 37.8 million euro (39.3 million euro at 31 December 2012). Furthermore, there are other tax assessments totalling 61.3 million euro (61.3 million euro at 31 December 2012) for which the Board of Directors, based on its lawyers' assessment, understands will not imply future losses to the former subsidiary.

No provision has been recorded to face risks arising from events related to guarantees given, as the Board of Directors considers that no liabilities will result for Sonae Investimentos.

45 PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

In the Management Report, and for the purposes of calculating financial indicators as EBIT, EBITDA and underlying EBITDA the consolidated income statement is divided between Direct Income and Indirect Income.

The Indirect Income includes: (i) impairment of real estate assets for retail, (ii) decreases in goodwill, (iii) provisions (net of tax) for possible future liabilities, and impairments related to non‐core investments, businesses and discontinued assets (or to be discontinued / repositioned), (iv) valuation results based on the methodology "mark‐to‐market" of other current investments that will be sold or traded in the near future and (v) other irrelevant issues. The value of EBITDA is only calculated in the direct income component, excluding the indirect contributions.

The reconciliation between consolidated income and direct‐indirect income for the periods ended 31 December 2013 and 2012 can be summarised as follows:

NOTES TO THE INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

(Translation of individual financial statements originally issued in Portuguese. In case of discrepancy the Portuguese version prevails)

(Amounts expressed in euro)

1 INTRODUCTION

SONAE INVESTIMENTOS, SGPS, SA, "the Company" or "Sonae Investimentos" it's a Portuguese Corporation, with head‐ office in Rua João Mendonça nº 529, 4464‐501 Senhora da Hora, Matosinhos, Portugal.

The Company's main activity is the management of shareholdings (Note 5).

The company financial statements are presented as required by Commercial Companies Code. According to Decree‐Law 158/2009 of 13 July, the Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Consolidated financial statements are also presented in accordance with applicable legislation.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies adopted in preparing the accompanying individual financial statements are as follows:

2.1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. This standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), that have been adopted by the European Union.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for financial instruments which are stated at fair value.

New accounting standards and their impact in the financial statements

Up to the approval date of these financial statements, the European Union endorsed standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, some of which have become effective during the year 2012. These changes are presented in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The adoption, during 2012 of the mentioned standards did not produce impacts on the Company financial statements, since they aren't applicable to the Individual financial statements of the Company.

Additionally there are standards that have been approved for adoption in the periods started at or after 1 January 2013, which were not adopted by the Company in advance. No material impacts in the individual financial statements of the company will arise from the adoption of these standards.

2.2. Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation charges for the year are calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life of each asset in the caption Depreciation and amortisation.

The impairment losses in the realisable value of tangible assets are recorded in the year they arise in the caption of the Income Statement ‐ "Provisions and impairment losses".

2.3. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them, if they are controlled by the Company and if their cost can be reliably measured.

Depreciation charges for the year are calculated on a straight line basis over the useful life of each asset in the caption Depreciation and amortization.

2.4. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are usually recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred on an accruals basis in accordance with effective interest rate method.

2.5. Financial instruments

The Company classifies the financial instruments in the categories presented and conciliated with the statement of financial position disclosed in Note 4.

a) Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Equity investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for accordingly with IAS 27, at acquisition cost net of impairment losses.

b) Investments

Investments are classified into the following categories:

  • ‐ Held to maturity
  • ‐ Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • ‐ Available for sale

Held to maturity investments are classified as non‐current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the statement of financial position date. Investments classified as held to maturity have defined maturities and the Company has the intention and ability to hold them until the maturity date.

The investments measured at fair value through profit or loss include the investments held for trading that the company acquires for sale in a short period of time, and are classified in the statement of financial position as current assets.

The Company classifies as available for sale those investments that are neither included as investments measured at fair value through profit or loss nor as investments held to maturity. These assets are classified as non‐current assets, except if the sale is expected to occur within 12 months from the date of classification.

All purchases and sales of investments are recognized on the trade date, independently of the settlement date.

Investments are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is the fair value of the consideration paid for them. In the case of Investments held to maturity or available for sale investments, transaction costs are included in the acquisition costs.

After its initial recording, investments measured at fair value through profit or loss and available for sale investments are subsequently carried at fair values, by reference to their quoted market value at statement of financial position date, without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred on sale. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost, less impairment losses.

Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of available for sale investments are recognized directly in equity, under Fair value reserve, in the caption Other reserves, until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, or until it is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to net profit or loss.

Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the Income statement captions financial expenses or financial income.

Held to maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate, net of capital reimbursements and interest income received.

c) Loans and accounts receivable

Loans and accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost using the effective rate method net of accumulated impairment losses, in order to reflect its realisable value.

Interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate, except for short‐term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

These financial instruments emerge when the Company provides money or services to its subsidiaries and associates with no intention of trading those assets.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when its maturity is greater than 12 months from the statement of financial position date, situations when they are classified as non‐current assets. Loans and receivables are included in the captions presented in Note 4.

d) Trade accounts receivable

Receivables are stated at net realisable value corresponding to their nominal value less impairment losses, recorded under the caption "Provisions and impairment losses" in accounts receivable.

Impairment is recognized if there is objective and measurable evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred, the balance will not be fully received.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. If the receipt of the full amount is expected to be within one year the effect of the discount will be considered immaterial.

e) Classification as equity or liability

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance, independently from the legal form they assume.

f) Loans

Loans are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up‐front fees and commissions related to the issuance of those instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis, in accordance with the accounting policy defined in Note 2.7. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up‐front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.

g) Trade accounts payable

Trade accounts payable are stated at their nominal value. There is no discount, as it is immaterial.

h) Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge such risks. Derivatives are not used for trading purposes.

Derivatives classified as cash flow hedge instruments are used by the Company mainly to hedge interest rate risks on loans obtained. Conditions established for these cash flow hedge instruments are identical to those of the corresponding loans in terms of base rates, calculation rules, rate setting dates and repayment schedules of the loans and for these reasons they qualify as perfect hedges. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recorded in the Income Statement under Financial Income or Financial Expenses.

The Company's criteria for classifying a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge instrument include:

  • ‐ The hedge transaction is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk;
  • ‐ The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
  • ‐ There is adequate documentation of the hedging relationships at the inception of the hedge;
  • ‐ The transaction being hedged is highly probable.

Cash flow hedge instruments used by the Company to hedge the exposure to changes in interest of its loans are initially accounted for at cost, if any which corresponds to its fair value, and subsequently adjusted to their corresponding fair value. Changes in fair value of these cash flow hedge instruments are recorded in equity under the caption Hedging reserves, included in the caption Reserves and Retained earnings, and then recorded in the income statement over the same period in which the hedged instrument is recognized in profit or loss.

Hedge accounting of derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded in equity under the caption Hedging reserve included in the caption Reserves and Retained earnings, are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.

The fair value of these instruments is estimated by the Company using specific software based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg, through the use of interest rate curves taken from Bloomberg.

When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics are not closely related to economic risks and characteristics of the host instruments, and this is not stated at fair value through profit or loss.

In specific situations, the Company hires exchange rate derivatives. In these circumstances, and although these derivatives are hired to hedge the risk associated with the variation of future cash flows, these derivatives are usually measured at fair value through the income statement.

i) Treasury shares

Treasury shares are recorded at acquisition cost as a reduction to equity. Gains or losses arising from sales of treasury shares are directly recorded in other reserves.

j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank, term deposits and other treasury applications which mature in less than three months and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

In the cash flows statement, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are included in the statement of financial position caption of current bank loans.

k) Effective interest rate method

The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating interest income or expense until the maturity of the financial instrument.

l) Impairment

Financial assets, other than Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.

For non‐quoted equity instruments determining whether the investment is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the investment. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise for the entity and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

For investments in subsidiaries (equity investments and loans granted to subsidiaries, jointly controlled companies and associated companies) the impairment analysis is based on the fair value estimate, based on discounted cash flows or based on its net asset value as applicable.

The above mentioned estimate is based on the fair value computation of the value in use of its holdings by means of discounted cash flow models, whenever there is an indication that the asset might be impaired, namely from the distribution of dividends by the mentioned entities.

It is the Board of Directors understanding that the use of the above mentioned methodology is adequate to conclude on the eventual existence of financial investments impairment as it incorporates the best available information as at the date of the financial statements.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and that decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

In respect of equity investments classified as available for sale, impairment losses previously recognized through profit or loss are not reversed. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in equity.

2.6. Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements. Instead they are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case, no disclosure is made.

Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but disclosed when future economic benefits are probable.

2.7. Revenue recognition and accrual basis

Revenue from services rendered is recognized in the income statement in the period they are performed.

Dividends are recognized as income in the year they are attributed to the shareholders.

Income and expenses are recorded in the year to which they relate, independently of the date of the corresponding payment or receipt. Income and expenses for which their real amount is not known are estimated.

Other current assets and other current liabilities include income and expenses of the reporting year which will only be invoiced in the future. Those captions also include receipts and payments that have already occurred but that correspond to income or expenses of future years, when they will be recognized in the income statement.

2.8. Subsequent events

Events after the statement of financial position date that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (adjusting events), are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the statement of financial position date that are non‐adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

2.9. Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements are as follows:

  • a) Record of adjustments to the value of assets and provisions;
  • b) Impairment analysis of financial investments and loans granted to affiliated, jointly controlled companies and associated companies;

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of these financial statements and are based on the best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events, are not controlled by the Company are not foreseeable, some could occur and have impact on the estimates. Therefore and due to this uncertainty the outcome of the transactions being estimated may differ from the initial estimate. Changes to the estimates used by management that occur after the approval date of these consolidated financial statements, will be recognized in net income prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8.

The main estimates and assumptions in relation to future events included in the preparation of these financial statements are disclosed in the correspondent notes, if applicable.

2.10. Share‐based payments

Share‐based payments result from deferred performance bonus plans that are referenced to the evolution of the Sonae, SGPS, SA shares' price (parent company of Sonae Investimentos, SGPS, SA).

The value of these responsibilities is determined at the time of assignment (usually in March of each year) and subsequently updated at the end of each reporting period depending on the number of shares allotted and the fair value of the reporting date. The responsibility is recorded on staff costs and other current liabilities, linearly between the attribution date and the vesting date, in proportion to the time between those dates.

2.11. Income tax

Sonae Investimentos is taxed in accordance with Special Regime of Taxing Groups of Companies (Parent company). Each company included in this regime records income tax for the year in its individual accounts in the caption "Group companies". When a subsidiary contributes with a tax loss, it reflects, in its individual accounts, the amount of tax corresponding to the loss to be compensated by the profits of the other companies covered by this regime.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the statement of financial position liability method, reflecting the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually remeasured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted and therefore expected to apply in the periods when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be used, or when taxable temporary differences are recognized and expected to reverse in the same period. At each statement of financial position date an assessment of the deferred tax assets recognized is made, being reduced whenever their future use is no longer probable.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the income statement, except if they relate to items directly recorded in equity. In these cases the corresponding deferred tax is recorded in Equity.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management general principles are approved by the Board of Directors, and its implementation is supervised by the Group's finance department.

3.1 Market risk

The interest and exchange rate risk have a decisive importance in what concerns market risk management.

3.1.1 Interest rate risk

Sonae Investimentos exposure to the interest rate risk arises mainly from the long term loans which bear interests indexed to Euribor.

Sensitivity analysis:

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the following assumptions:

‐ Changes in market interest rates affect the interest income or expense of variable interest financial instruments (the interest payments of which are not designated as hedged items of cash flow hedges against interest rate risks). As a consequence, they are included in the calculation of income‐related sensitivities;

‐ Changes in market interest rates only affect interest income or expense in relation to financial instruments with fixed interest rates if these are recognized at their fair value. As such, all financial instruments with fixed interest rates that are carried at amortised cost are not subject to interest rate risk as defined in IFRS 7;

‐ In the case of fair value hedges designed for hedging interest rate risks, when the changes in the fair values of the hedged item and the hedging instrument attributable to interest rate movements are offset almost completely in the income statement in the same period, these financial instruments are also not exposed to interest rate risk;

‐ Changes in the market interest rate of financial instruments that were designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge (to hedge payment fluctuations resulting from interest rate movements) affect the hedging reserve in equity and are therefore taken into consideration in the equity‐related sensitivity calculation with impact in equity (other reserves);

‐ Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments and other financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting the future cash flows to net present values using appropriate market rates prevailing at the year end, and assuming a parallel shift in interest rate curves;

‐ For the purposes of sensitivity analysis, such analysis is performed based on all financial instruments outstanding during the year.

Under these assumptions, if interest rates of euro denominated financial instruments had been 75 basis points higher, the net profit before tax for the period ended as at 31 December 2013 would increase by approximately 1.4 million euro (1.8 million euro as at 31 December 2012), considering the contractual fixing dates and excluding other effects arising from the company operations.

3.1.2 Exchange rate risk

The impact on the financial statements of changes in exchange rate is immaterial, as the most part of the assets and liabilities are denominated in euro.

3.1.3 Liquidity risk

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure, at all times, that the group has the financial capacity to fulfill its commitments as they become due and to carry on its business activities and strategy, through the management of the trade off cost and maturity of debt.

3.2 Credit risk

Sonae Investimentos is primarily exposed to credit risk in its dealings with financing companies in which it participates.

Sonae Investimentos is also exposed to the credit risk in its relationship with financial institutions, in result of bank deposits, debt instruments available facilities, derivates, among others.

The credit risk is limited to financial institutions, by risk concentration management and by a selection of counterparties, which have a high national and international prestige and based on their respective rating notations taking into account the nature, maturity and size of the operations.
