Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors

To the Members of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA,

For the fourth straight year I am obliged, in addressing you, to place emphasis, in the first place, on the crisis which, although it was transverse to every economy, persists in the peripheral, more fragile economies such as the Portuguese economy.

The dragging on of the situation has caused a great deal of financial instability on the markets, with the rise of interest rates in Portugal, with fertile ground for speculation, and with the increase of unemployment, and where, despite the drastic measures that are being taken, clear signs of improvement are taking a long time to appear.

We are therefore going through a difficult period in Portugal, suddenly made worse by the political crisis in countries of North Africa, causing a sharp growth of oil prices.

We are now undergoing a crisis of confidence that needs everyone politicians, journalists, the business community and workers to believe that were are able to overcome it in a Europe that needs to rediscover itself and to acquire once more the leadership capabilities that the European project requires and merits.

It was against this background that the Mota-Engil Group carried on its business during 2010 and, as such, its activity could not but have been affected by the worsening of the crisis in the construction industry in Portugal and the need to restrict investment in growth. All this prevented the Group from presenting, in 2010, the growth of turnover that we had planned, though we are proud to be able to state that all the Group 's other profitability indicators were met, thus lending sustainability to the future development of the Group.

Meeting these goals was possible thanks only to the strategy that we have been implementing of diversification and greater internationalisation in every business area, meaning that we are now doing business in countries that were not affected by the crisis, such as Angola, Brazil, Peru, Mozambique, Malawi, etc.

The established strategy, the powerful cohesion of all and the leadership capabilities are factors that remain intact within our Group, factors, I am certain, that will allow the sustainable growth of the Group to continue in 2011.

António Mota

Chairman of the Board of Directors

Message from the Chief Executive Officer

To the Members of Mota-Engil SGPS, SA,

On the international stage 2010 was a truly adverse year in socio-economic terms, following on the heels of what we have persistently witnessed in recently years.

Despite the climate of recession, the global economy and the more developed economies, in particular, were forced to implement measures that decreased investment, lending priority to rebalancing their public finances. This was a relevant fact in Europe, especially so in the peripheral, more fragile economies such as Portugal.

Aware of the difficult reality that we have faced in 2010 and can be expected to last for several years, we have adhered without deviation to the strategy idealised and under implementation within the scope of the 2013 Ambition Plan.

And were remained true to it for we found, through close monitoring of our position at international level, that the path we have followed is seen, on the geostrategic stage, to be the one most suitable in the light of the growth potential that we see for the Mota-Engil Group.

Despite the difficulties with which we are faced, we continue to overcome the head winds and, through a selective strategy of geographic and sectoral diversification, we have been able to grow and, above all, to be more efficient in our operations, rendering the Group's development model more sustainable as far as its future growth is concerned.

Focusing on the creation of value and on profitability, we have disinvested in those markets seen to be less profitable, while consolidating our presence where we clearly affirm ourselves through our capabilities and growth potential, and we have made a start to business in new markets and areas where we see opportunities.

It was with this integrated, pragmatic Strategic Vision of markets and sectors of activity that it proved possible to generate the greatest consolidated value in international business of recent years, thus offsetting the sharp downturn seen on the domestic market.

In 2010 we increased our international presence through greater growth and diversification, generating synergies and greater added value.

In this way, we were able to increase operating profits. Combined with extremely selectivity in investment and in debt management, this allowed us to strengthen the Group's financial structure and, at the same time, to open up the way to greater growth capacity in the future.

Lastly, I would like to leave a word of thanks for the joint effort of all those that work every day to make Mota-Engil what it is today a diversified economic group, a leader in Portugal and one of increasing international presence.

Whereas last year I said that we were pursuing a strategy of withstanding the present to win the future, I now say that while the challenge is far from being overcome in the adverse economic climate with which we are faced, WE ARE overcoming the challenges and, step by step, with professionalism, determination and a great deal of hard work by all, we shall do everything to win the future.

1. Macroeconomic framework

The international economy

Only recently has the global economy started to emerge from the deepest recession since the Second World War. Following a contraction of 0.6% in 2009, global gross domestic product have increased 5% in 2010 and, for 2011, the IMF projections suggest a growth rate of about 4%.

In 2010 there was a recovery at differing speeds. The true engine of growth continued to be the emerging markets of Asia (particularly China, with a GDP growth rate of 10.3%, and India which, in 2010, will have increased its domestic product by 9.7%), Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, while the developed economies continued to lose ground, dominated by economic and financial concerns.

The discrepancy between the growth of the developed and of the emerging economies will continue to attract greatly differing macroeconomic policies. In the USA and Europe the central banks are likely to continue to implement quantitative easing in their endeavour to stimulate economic growth. At the same time, signs of overheating of the economy, driven by the strong inflows of capital, are beginning to appear in some countries of Asia and Latin America, leading the authorities to consider bringing forward restrictive macroeconomic policies to limit the growth of credit, to control inflation and to avoid sudden and sharp exchange rate appreciations.

In 2010, growing uncertainties about the solidity of the European financial sector and doubts as to the ability of the Euro Area to resolve its sovereign-debt crisis shook the still fragile financial system. Triggered by the events of last May, with the problems of the Greek public debt, financial turbulence spread across the Euro Area during the closing quarter of the year (affecting Ireland, Spain and Portugal in particular), reaching levels not seen since the launch of the Economic and Monetary Union. Thus, the financial crisis in the peripheral countries of the Euro Area led to more stringent risk analysis, in turn leading to a deterioration of their sovereign-risk premium and to greater restrictions in accessing foreign financing. However, contrary to the Greek rescue plan in May, the financial repercussions on the other countries were limited, and financial conditions even improved outside the periphery of the Euro Area. In 2010, despite the tensions in the financial markets, and with the exception of Greece, Ireland and Spain, there will have been growth in Europe, suggesting a major recovery compared to 2009, largely driven by the rebirth of the global economy. In 2010, the Euro Area will have grown by 1.7%, compared to the 4% downturn in 2009. Despite the recent dynamism, institutions and markets continue fragile and the upturn within EU-27 is set to be moderate in historic terms and also by comparison with other developed economies, essentially the result of the prolonged impact of the crisis and also of the implementation of strong budget-control measures in 2011.

Economic recovery is generally taking place as expected, but the risks are still extremely high. Most developed economies and some of the emerging ones continue to face major adjustments and challenges. In the USA, the economy continues to show signs of recovery and, in 2010, its domestic product will have even registered a growth of 2.8%. Nevertheless, the weak points have not disappeared, high unemployment is raising major challenges, the property market continues weak and the financial sector continues to be restructured.

During 2010 mineral (oil and metals) and agricultural commodities (maize, cotton and soy) recorded two-digit price growth, even, in the case of some metals, reaching historic highs. The increase of commodity prices was driven by growing demand from the emerging economies, such as China, the world's biggest consumer of iron ore, rubber, copper and zinc, which, in 2010, was the economy that returned the biggest growth rate 10.3% and anticipated to register a 9.6% growth in 2011. As a result of the economic upturn there was an increase of global demand for oil throughout 2010, especially by the emerging countries, and this was reflected in an 8% price increase over the year, to stand at US\$ 91 per barrel.

The increase of commodity prices was partly responsible for the growth of inflation observed in the emerging economies in 2010. The increase of food prices also played an important part in driving up inflation is some emerging countries, in Asia in particular. The increase of prices in the developing world contrasts with the low inflation rates in Europe and in the United States and with persisting deflation in Japan. The difference is partly a sub-product of the economic recoveries at different rates, stronger in the developing countries when compared with the slow growth of the advanced economies. According to the IMF, inflation is set to remain at 1.5% in the

developed economies, strongly influenced by the rising energy prices, while in the emerging and developing economies consumer prices in 2010 are expected to have risen 6%, showing signs of overheating. In response to this situation, the central banks of Brazil, India and China (BRIC countries), now responsible for approximately 1/5 of global economic activity, increased their interest rates and are studying additional measures to put the brakes on price increases, food prices in particular.

Despite the good rate of growth seen in 2010 insofar as the global product is concerned, the 2011 forecasts suggest a slight slowdown of the rate of global growth, especially evident in the more advanced economies such as the USA, Japan and the Euro Area. The financial markets remain fragile and the tensions in the currency markets as well as the instability of the sovereign-debt market could well pose serious threats to economic growth.

The Portuguese economy

Triggered by Greece, the crisis in the sovereign-debt markets was one of the major economic events of 2010 in several peripheral European countries. The small economic growth seen in the country over the past decade is pointed out as one of the main hindrances to the balance of Portugal's public accounts, since it constitutes a barrier to attracting funds to cover the expenditure. During 2010, poor budget execution, leading to a public deficit of 7.3% of the GDP, meant that the sovereign-risk premium was penalised by international investors who demanded a yield of over 7% for 10-year debt. Indeed, Portuguese banks were faced with funding difficulties on the international markets, and were essentially financed by the European Central Bank.

Despite the instability of the financial market in Portugal and the liquidity problems facing the Portuguese banking system, GDP growth is set to have stood at 1.1%, compared to a 2.6% downturn in 2009. Nevertheless, the IMF projections for 2011 suggest zero economic growth, which constitutes an additional risk for an economic system that is already fragile. It is becoming necessary and urgent to ensure a stringent budget execution, principally against a backdrop of zero growth, if the 4.6% target for the public deficit agreed with Brussels for 2011 is to be met.

In 2010, the average annual inflation rate stood at 1.4%, compared to 0.8% in 2009. The unemployment rate rose to historic figures, to stand at 10.9% in the third quarter, causing a widespread worsening of consumer purchasing power and confidence. These factors, allied to the acceleration of the process of budget consolidation, with the announcement of the VAT-rate increase to 23%, the reduction of wages and the freeze on career progress in the public sector, among other measures, may well generate an impact more negative than expected in the short term, even though, in the medium to long term, they could support the recovery of growth in the country's economic activity.

The Angolan economy

Most of the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa recovered quickly from the international financial crisis. The region is set to have grown by 5% in 2010, returning to the growth rates seen during the pre-crisis period, rising to 5.5% in 2011. The rate of recovery varied throughout the region, though in Angola, the main foreign market for the Mota-Engil Group, recovery was more moderate, with an estimated GDP growth rate of no more than 2.5%. The general increase of commodity prices on the international markets, the great dependence on imported goods and the instability of the currency market were the main reasons suggested for the inflation rate of 15.31% in 2010. For 2011, one of the main objectives of the Angolan market is inflation control, expected to fall to 12% through the use of currency stability as the main instrument.

During the second half of 2010 the Angolan authorities made a start to the process of settlement of debt to foreign companies (the Mota-Engil Group was also covered by this plan), which was also one of the main factors, while the government issued treasury bills to cover the main borrowing requirements, allowing the budget deficit to stand at 2% at the year-end.

For 2011 the IMF predicts that the Angolan economy will grow by 7.5%, strongly influenced by the good prospects for the growth of the emerging economies of Latin America (especially Brazil) and of Asia, markets that account for about 40% of Angolan oil exports.

The Polish economy

In keeping with the widespread global trend, Europe's emerging countries, harshly affected by the global crisis, also showed signs of recovery, returning an economic growth rate of 3.9% in 2010.

The Polish economy is one of the engines of Emerging Europe and, in 2010, its GDP growth rate is set to have stood at 3.4%, rising to 3.7% next year. Notwithstanding these good economic indicators, the country still faces major challenges and budget consolidation is becoming increasingly necessary to reduce the budget deficits that increased sharply during the international financial crisis. Through measures such as the one percentage point increase of VAT and the reduction of public spending through a public sector wage freeze, the Polish government expects to cut the deficit from 8% of the GDP in 2010 to 4.69% in 2011-12.

Notwithstanding the positive signals of economic growth, in January 2011 Poland, as a precaution, again requested access to the IMF's flexible credit line in the sum of US\$ 30 billion to ensure greater solidity of the public finances, to increase international investor confidence and to combat unemployment, which stood at 11.8% in 2010.

2. Economic and financial review

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

In 2010 the Mota-Engil Group returned a consolidated net profit of €69.4 million, of which €37 million are attributable to the Group. The net profit attributable to the Group, adjusted for Martifer's results and other nonrecurrent effects, amounted to €40.1 million (2009: €32.2 million).

Turnover in 2010 grew residually, up 1.3% (considering the pro forma 2009 figures), reaching €2.005 billion, (2009: €1.979 billion). The good performance seen in the Environment & Services area (25% growth in 2010) was almost all absorbed by the neutral performance of the Engineering & Construction area (down 3% in 2010).

The mix of turnover remained stable when compared to 2009, though emphasis should be given to the slight increase of the relative weight of Environment & Services (2010: 20%; 2009: 17%) and, consequently, a slight reduction of the weight of the Engineering & Construction area (2010: 80%; 2009: 83%).

The breakdown of Group turnover was as follows: Engineering & Construction €1.599 billion (2009: €1.654 billion) and Environment & Services €410 million (2009: €329 million).

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

Despite an unchanged in terms of Turnover, the Engineering & Construction area returned a sharp improvement of its EBITDA margin in 2010 (10.2% in 2010, compared to 7,9% in 2009), which, allied to the growth of turnover and to the unchanged EBITDA in the Environment & Services area, allowed an excellent operating performance in consolidated terms. Growth of EBITDA stood at 21% (€237.3 million in 2010, compared to €196.3 million in 2009).

With regard to the EBITDA mix, the performance of the Engineering & Construction area led to a slight increase of its relative weight, now accounting for 67% of the operating profit before depreciation and provisions/impairments (2009: 66%). The Environment & Services area contributed 33% of the EBITDA (2009: 34%).

Chapter 3 of this report provides a detailed review of the results and business undertaken by each Group area in 2010.

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointlycontrolled entities).

In 2010, consolidated net investment amounted to €161 million, with emphasis on the investment in the Environment & Services area, totalling €83 million (including investment in maintenance and growth of the water supply and sewerage concessions, namely in Indaqua Matosinhos, Vila do Conde and Feira, with approximately €33 million, and the acquisition of a holding in Brazil in the waste area for approximately €22 million). The Engineering & Construction area invested a little less, €75 million (mainly in the Africa and America segments, including the acquisition of a holding in Mexico, the remainder having been invested in the holding company and its subsidiaries). Investment in maintenance totalled €59 million. This volume of investment is in keeping with Mota-Engil's investment policy, which is directed at sustainable growth and is based on a balance between the various business areas.

In 2010, despite the significant volume of investment, total net debt remained at roughly the level seen in 2009 (2010: €1.015 billion; 2009: €984 million). Emphasis should be given, however, to the downward trend during the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2010.

Corporate debt (with recourse) amounted to €907 million (2009: €908 million). Of this sum about €413 million were allocated to the Group's operating activity, the remainder (€494 million) being in respect of investment in associates, which does not contribute to the EBITDA, and non-core assets. By business area, €303 million was allocated to Engineering & Construction and €337 million to Environment & Services.

Additionally, Group debt also includes non-recourse (contracted within the scope of project finance business,

therefore not enforceable on the equityholder), originated by the consolidation of the water and basic sewerage, and port concessionaire companies. In December 2010, the amount of debt without recourse stood at about €108 million (2009: €76 million).

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

Financial charges made a negative contribution to Group profits in the sum of €50.9 million (2009: a negative sum of €47.8 million), an increase of about 6% over 2009.

As a result of this operational and financial performance the pre-tax profit amounted to €88,3 million (2009: €106 million) and the net profit to 69,4 million, of which €37 million are attributable to the Group.

In 2010, gains & losses on associate companies ( in the chart) made a positive contribution to net profit in the sum of €7.5 million (2009: €41.4 million). The 2010 figure essentially comprises two effects of contrary sign: the Group's share of the losses of Martifer Group in the sum of €20.6 million (2009: €40.4 million of profit), and the gain of €17.4 million on the reclassification of gains previously recognised under other comprehensive income, through the reduction of interests in jointly-controlled entities in the wake of the process of dispersal of the equity capital of the Ascendi group.

The order book at the end of 2010 amounted to about €3.3 billion, of which €2.9 billion in respect of the Engineering & Construction area.

During 2010 the Group strengthened its African and Latin American order books, particularly in Peru and Mozambique, which offset the reduction seen in another markets.

As usual, the order book for Environment & Services has to do solely with provision of services contracts secured in the Waste and Multi-services segments. In its order book the Group does not consider predictable income stemming from the water and sewerage (which now has a greater weight in consolidated turnover) and from the operation of marine ports.

CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

3. Business Areas

Engineering & Construction

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

The Mota-Engil Group turnover in Engineering & Construction amounted to €1.599 billion in 2010 (2009: €1.654 billion), a decrease of 3% compared to 2009.

This was the result of different segments performances, having occurred a reduction of the performances obtained in the segments of Portugal (24% decrease in turnover) and Central Europe (decrease of 17% of turnover) and a enhanced performance of the Africa (26%) and America (95%) segments.

The Angolan market contributed to the good performance of the Angolan market, which continues to grow at a good rate and, in 2010, this market generated turnover in the sum of €452 million, compared to €403 million in 2009. At the same time, the order books of the other countries of this region grew sharply, with emphasis on Mozambique where revenues reached €58 million (2009: €16 million)

The business in Central Europe was affected, on the one hand, by an exceptionally rigorous winter at the beginning of the year and, on the other, by the discontinuation of the business in Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. The exceptional growth secured in Poland (29%) offset the reduction of business in the other countries of Central Europe. Turnover in this country in 2010 totalled €191 million (2009: €148 million), while the order book predicts a good performance in 2011 at this level.

As far as the operating profit of the business area is concerned, the EBITDA margins grew when compared to 2009 (10.2% in 2010, and 7.9% in 2009), while the EBITDA increased by about 25% (€162.5 million in 2010, compared to €130.1 million in 2009).

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

The financial results of the business area made a negative contribution to the Group's net profit in the sum of €18.7 million (2009: a negative contribution of €21.2 million) a reduction of some 11% compared to 2009. As a result of a better operational and financial performance the pre-tax profit amounted to €74 million (2009: €59.2 million) and the net profit to 64.3 million (2009: €43.6 million, of which €39.2 million are attributable to the Group), of which €42.7 million in respect of the profit attributable to the Group (2009: €43,2 million).

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities).

Following the guidelines of the Group's 2013 Ambition Plan of diversification of the business and of the risk, emphasis is given to: growth in Africa; consolidation of Mota-Engil Central Europe, with historic results; implementation of Mota-Engil Angola in partnership with a consortium of Angolan companies headed by Sonangol; the move into Mexico through the acquisition of a stake in Indinsa; diversification of the business in Peru, culminating in the change of identity of Translei to Mota-Engil Peru; and also the approach to the markets of Brazil and Columbia.

Portugal

The Portugal business segment also includes residual activity in the Engineering & Construction area in Spain and Ireland.

In Portugal, Engineering & Construction business has undergone a severe crisis for several years, with weak demand, excessive installed capacity and shrinking margins. Influenced by a profoundly adverse economic situation caused by the international financial crisis begun on 2008, the sector again returned a decline of its activity in 2010. It is a long, systemic and profound crisis that has heightened even further in 2010.

Following an attempt in 2009 to use public investment as the main policy instrument to stimulate the economy as a way to attenuate the impacts of the global financial crisis, this continued to be the main policy instrument employed in 2010, though now for the opposite effect of consolidating public finances. In this connection, the successive austerity policies that have been implemented since the beginning of 2010, and are expected to continue in 2011, contributed to the downturn of public-investment spending and, consequently, of the industry.

Most of the indicators show a decline of construction output volumes of around 6.5% (a downturn of 9% in 2009). Despite everything and the austerity measures in particular, the production indices for civil engineering and non-residential public buildings performed better than those for the private buildings segment.

Given the characteristics of the economic and financial crisis that struck the world in 2008 and had serious repercussions in our country, the residential-building construction segment in 2010 was again the one that saw the biggest decline of production, down by around 15%, despite the slight improvement compared to 2009. In accumulated terms, this business will have lost about 59% of its output volume since 2002, and, in 2010, it accounted for just 29% of the Industry's total production, whereas in 2001 it was equivalent to 46.5%. In fact, this segment has been the hardest hit by the financial crisis, which, with its powerful impact on the banking system, was reflected directly in the residential market given the restrictions imposed on families in obtaining home-purchase loans. This factor, allied to the growing economic difficulties stemming from the increase of unemployment, as well as to the widespread of serious confidence crisis, has led to a drastic reduction of demand for housing.

As a result of the economic crisis, the non-residential buildings segment again went through a considerable decline in 2010, mainly as a result of the downturn seen in the private component caused by the postponement by the economic agents of a part of their investments. All this notwithstanding, the public component of nonresidential buildings construction counteracted this negative evolution, taking advantage of the school-buildings rehabilitation programme implemented by Parque Escolar, which continues its work throughout 2010. It is estimated that the public component of non-residential buildings construction increased by about 3% during 2010, contrary to the private component, in which the output will have fallen by some 9%. In aggregate terms, the combined production of non-residential buildings will have fallen by 4.9% in 2010.

Contrary to the prospects set out at the start of the year, as a result of the budget stimulus measures then announced based on the relaunch of construction activity, the volume of work associated with civil engineering works will have declined by about 1% in 2010 In fact, the major restrictions imposed by the government with a view to the reduction of the budget deficit led to a postponement of part of the works initially planned for 2010. As a result, there was a sharp reduction of the amount of works adjudicated, compared to 2009. The total value of work adjudicated in 2010 (€2.1 billion), reflects a reduction of 48% compared to the amount adjudicated during 2010.

Notwithstanding, it is with optimism that the Group views 2011, and it expects that it will come to be a year of improvement of this cycle of recession in the construction industry in Portugal.

The turnover of the business area in Portugal (not including Spain and Ireland) was greater than €641 million (2009: €778 million). Despite a smaller activity in 2010, operating profitability has kept a fairly good performance, partly due to the result of the backlog quality that is being gathered either in highway construction and civil engineering. Taking these difficulties of the domestic market into account, allied to the dynamism of the process of internationalisation of the construction business, the weight of the domestic market again fell as a

proportion of the total turnover of this business area: in 2010 the Portuguese market accounted for just 40% of the Group's construction business (2009: 47%).

There was also an alteration of the type of works, with a growth of highway works and a focus by production on larger contracts involving fewer buildings yards than in 2009.

For their importance the following jobs are underscored:

Centre for the Unknown, for the Champalimaud Foundation;

  • Operational Fuel Group for ANA Lisbon Airport;
  • INL- Nanotechnology Institute
  • Loures and Terceira Island Hospitals;
  • New Coach Museum

Emphasis is also given to the construction of several hydraulic infrastructures for EDIA (Alqueva Dam Company) and the DGADR (Agriculture & Rural Development Directorate), as well as several School-Remodelling contracts for Parque Escolar, outstanding for having met very tight deadlines and quality goals.

Central Europe

The Engineering & Construction area, though currently doing business in five countries of Central Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania) focuses its activity primarily on Poland.

The construction industry in Poland has undergone rapid development and growth since 2007-08, essentially owing to Euro 2012, investment in infrastructure financed by the European Union and growth of the property market. Although the development has been somewhat hampered by the financial crisis of 2008, the significant increase in building-materials production in 2010 suggests that construction activity is quite robust, despite the fact that the official indicators do not show this.

With regard to the property market, the impact of the international financial crisis continued throughout 2010, penalising both the average selling prices and the number of transactions in most countries of Central Europe. The strategic plan drawn up for the Group's real-estate business in the region is based on the residential segment in the cities of Warsaw, Krakow, Prague and Bratislava as the priorities, as well as on the definition of the maximum number of homes to be built each year in each of these cities.

Despite a first half of 2010 marked by a severe winter followed by flooding during the spring and by the cancellation of the D1 Project in Slovakia, the better weather during the second half and the order book secured in Poland allowed a recovery of the rate of production and meant that the goals established for 2010 could be met.

In organisational terms, the year saw the implementation of a cycle of alterations to the Corporate Management Model and the modernisation of the Management Systems of Mota-Engil Central Europe. A new stage began in 2011 with a clear strategy, involving a particular focus on Efficiency, Productivity, Innovation and greater Internal Cohesion. Solidification of the development strategy and regional consolidation will continue to be implemented, pursuing the target of covering the whole of Poland. In parallel, the priorities have been defined as diversification of construction in the environment segment in particular, hydraulic works and flood protection and prevention and intensification of civil construction activity, with a focus on the company's own property developments.

Turnover in 2010 amounted to about €239 million, while EBITDA stood at some €7.8 million. The order book secured in Poland in the Infrastructure sector allowed Mota-Engil Central Europe to maintain the trend of sustained improvement of operating performance seen in recent years. Business in Poland accounted for about 79% of the region's Turnover (2009: 52%).

The year under review was marked by the following awards of major contracts in Poland:

  • S3 Expressway located west of Poznan, along the axis connecting Swinoujscie on the Baltic Sea with Jakuszyce on the border with the Czech Republic (length 16 km). The project value amounts to about €76 million;
  • Link-up of John Paul II Avenue with the A4 Motorway in the city of Tarnów, with a value of nearly €8 million;
  • Przemyśl Bypass, with a length of 4 km and a value of about €45 million;
  • Dobczyce Bypass, with a length of 2.2 km, including a new 500-metre bridge.

In terms of projects under way and jobs inaugurated during 2010, the following warrant particular emphasis:

  • Design and construction of a 22.1 km section of the S8 Expressway between Wroclaw and Olesnica, for the sum of €87 million;
  • Design and construction of a 22.75 km section of the S8 Expressway between Jezewo and Bialystok, for the sum of €123 million leader with 51% of a consortium with Strabag;
  • S7 Expressway between Skarzysko/Kamienna/Wystepa, over a distance of 13.7 km, including the construction of 2 interchanges and 29 engineering works. The contract value amounts to €160 million. The job is scheduled for handing over in the spring of 2011.

Mota-Engil Central Europe considers that a policy of proximity with the regional customers is essential, based on the company's own production capacity and permanent facilities, asphalt plants in particular. To this end, 2010 marked an increase of the regional consolidation strategy through execution of medium-size contracts, and emphasis is given to the acquisition, in June, of the company PRD-M LUBLIN SA, a reference in the Lubelskie region. The start to activity in the Lubuskie and Slaskie regions also extended the field of action, till then centred on the regions of Malopolskie, Lubelskie, Dolnośląskie, Świętokrzyskie, Podkarpackie and Podlaskie. Activities are scheduled to commence in 2011 in the region of Pomorskie (Gdansk).

With regard to the real-estate area and to meet the goals set up in the strategic plan, particularly with regard to the number of homes to be built each year in each market, activity in 2010 was focused on the development and optimisation of projects in the portfolio scheduled to start construction in 2011 and 2012. In this connection, emphasis is given to the third stage of the Soltysowska project and to the second stage of the Devonska II project, both of which are scheduled to begin construction during the second quarter of 2011.

About 180 apartments were sold during the year, and emphasis is given to the finalisation of the sale of the Kordylewskiego project in Krakow, and to the first stage of the Devonska project in Prague. The commercial success of the Soltysowska in Krakow continued, with sales standing at more than 100 units per year for the second straight year.

The year under review was also marked by the coming into operation of the first hotel owned by the Mota-Engil Group in Central Europe, located in the city of Budapest and operated by a renowned international brand, and by the sale of the 60% stake in the Kozielska residential project in the city of Gliwice, in Poland.

In 2010 a start was made to the construction of the Steinerova project in Prague and to Tower B of the Mierova project in Bratislava. The year was also marked by the start to the licensing process for the Wilanów project in Warsaw, the Kilinskiego project in Lodz, and the Bergamon project in Bratislava. Attention is also drawn to the investment in the acquisition of a 50% stake in the Bergamon project in Bratislava.

With regard to the Construction segment in Hungary and Romania, efforts continued with a view to concluding the remaining work. These operations made a negative contribution to the EBITDA of the business area in the sum of €4.2 million, essentially stemming from the cost of demobilisation and from works under warranty.

Africa

The Engineering & Construction area operates in the following countries of Africa: Angola, Mozambique, Malawi, São Tomé e Príncipe and Cape Verde.

The Mota-Engil Group has been present in Angola for more than 64 years, and it is still seen as one of its natural markets. In this connection, and as a sign of the deepening of the historic relations that the Group has in this country, Mota-Engil Angola was set up, a landmark that constitutes the start of a new cycle in the life of Mota-Engil in this country. This company is the result of a partnership between the Group, with 51% of the equity capital, and an Angolan consortium headed by Sonangol, the oil company, with 49% of the equity capital. This company will come to carry out the greater part of the business now carried on by Mota-Engil Engenharia e Construção through its Branch, which will be maintained. The process of transferring the assets and financial holdings to the newly-created company will be concluded during 2011.

Engineering & Construction business in Angola had an excellent year, once again, in 2010, with turnover amounting to €452 million, a growth of 12% compared to last year (2009: €403 million). This market already accounts for 28% of the total turnover of the Engineering & Construction area (2009: 24%) and 23% of the total turnover of the Mota-Engil Group (2009: 20%). In operating profit, too, 2010 was a very good year, with the EBITDA margin standing at 16.1% (2009: 14.6%).

Despite the global crisis, the start of 2011 in the Angolan market continues to be viewed with some optimism and the expectation of the Group is that it will be able to secure growth, underpinned by a robust order book (now standing at €443 million) that is being further consolidated. Mota-Engil intends to diversify the business in Angola in the Engineering & Construction area and, for the purpose, it is focusing on new industrial activities associated with the construction industry, particularly through Novicer, dedicated to ceramics, and through Fatra, dedicated to wire-drawing.

In the other African markets in which the Mota-Engil Group does business, the year under review was also quite good, in Malawi, Mozambique and Cape Verde in particular, where the Group has strengthened its presence, especially in the area of highway construction and maintenance, having an order book worth more than €447 million at this time. The backlog grew in these markets was possible due to the recognised prestige that has been built up by its position in the marketplace, governed by correctness and competence in execution of works as the bridge of the Zambezi or the port of Nsanje in Malawi.

In Mozambique, the Group achieved Turnover in the Engineering & Construction area in the sum of €58 million in 2010 (2009: €16 million), a growth of business in the order of 262%.

The Olympic Village and Swimming Pools job for the 10th African Games, to be held in Maputo, began in July, involving the construction of 848 apartments to accommodate the participants in the event, including the respective roadways, landscaping and all infrastructures. The contract, also involving a consortium, also calls for the construction of the pavilion for the Olympic Pool. The Tete Bridge Project, which implies the construction of an access viaduct, a bridge over the Zambezi River and the accesses to the structure, and rehabilitation of the highway between Cuchamano and Zóbué, over a distance of 260 km, began in July. The job is being undertaken in consortium and is scheduled for conclusion in June 2014.

Also in Mozambique, the year under review also marked the start to the rehabilitation and improvement of a highway about 84 km in length. The contract calls for earthmoving, all necessary highway and complementary works, as well as the construction of walkways along the existing engineering works. The Mota-Engil Engenharia Mozambique Branch is responsible for the whole of this job, scheduled for conclusion in April 2013.

The African business segment increased its turnover in 2010 by 26% to €626 million (2009: €497 million). This market already accounts for 39% of the total turnover of the Engineering & Construction area (2009: 29%) and 31% of the total volume of the Mota-Engil Group (2009: 25%). In operating profit, too, 2010 was a very good year, with the EBITDA margin standing at 17.1% (2009: 14.7%).

America

The Engineering & Construction area does business in the following countries of America: Mexico and Peru.

In Peru, 2010 was yet another good year for the business in this country, and the stability of the market allowed ongoing development of the strategy of growth and enhancement of our local associate. At the year-end meeting the goal of harmonisation of the Mota-Engil brand, on the one hand, while also strengthening the diversification strategy that has been implemented in the Peruvian market since 2008, on the other, the company's name was changed from Translei to Mota-Engil Peru.

In Mexico, a start was m -Banderilla y Libramiento de Xalapa" motorway, calling for an investment in the construction area of about €179 million.

In order to comply with the strategic internationalisation plan, Mota-Engil acquired a holding in a Mexican construction concern, Idinsa. Through this subsidiary, the Group expects to drive the growth of construction activity in the Mexican market, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by the Mexican government's 2007-12 National Infrastructure Programme, estimated at a total of €60 billion.

The Group's objectives also include extending its presence in the America business segment. For the purpose it plans to acquire a majority stake in a company operating in the Brazilian market and another in the Colombian market. The economies of both markets have good growth rates, which, allied to the plans calling for major investment in public infrastructure, make them a priority for the international expansion of the Engineering & Construction business area.

The America business segment increased its turnover in 2010 by 95% to €83 million (2009: €42 million). The performance of the operating profit was also positive, with EBITDA standing at €5.8 million, compared to €1.1 million in 2009.

Environment & Services

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointlycontrolled entities).

The business of the Environment & Services area was excellent in 2010, in terms both of turnover and of operating profit. Turnover in 2010 amounted to €410 million (2009: €329 million), a growth of around 25%. This growth, allied to a continuation of the EBITDA margins (2010: 19.7% and 2009: 20.3%) led to major improvements in operating performance, EBITDA having grown by about 21% (2010: €80.8 million and 2009: €66.8 million).

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15). 2008: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointlycontrolled entities).

Financial charges made a negative contribution to Group profits in the sum of €23.6 million (2009: a negative sum of €18.7 million), an increase of about 25% over 2009. As a result of this operational and financial performance the pre-tax profit amounted to €21.6 million (2009: €20.2 million) and the net profit to €9.1 million (2009: €11.3), of which €9.2 million in respect of non-controlling interests.

2009: Pro forma data (use of the equity method in recognising the financial interests in jointly-controlled entities and retrospective application of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15).

The Logistics segment continued to account for greater part of this business area, accounting for about 39% of its turnover. This is followed by Waste, with a relative weight of 29%. These two segments accounted for about 67% of the total for the Environment & Services area in terms of turnover (2009: 72%) and 75% (in terms of operating profit as measured by EBITDA (2009: 73%).

Waste

In 2010 the waste business returned a growth of 6%, its turnover changed from€€112 million in 2009 to €119 million in 2010. In EBITDA terms the margins improved (27% in 2010, compared to 23% in 2009), contributing to the growth of EBITDA by about 22% compared to last year (2010:€€31.7 million; 2009:€€26.1 million).

Based on the Suma Subgroup, the Waste business segment involves over thirty companies that provide excellence in the integrated management of the life-cycle of Waste. The leading position in the national Waste market, with over a decade and a half of consolidated experience in the service of the Environment and of the population, has been synonymous to sustained growth and is the engine of an ambitious internationalisation project. On a par with the diversification of services, with a focus on the industrial waste and treatment market, internationalisation is a pole of business development in this segment, enlarging the geographic scope to markets of Central Europe, Africa and Latin America. The acquisition of Geo Vision, a group of companies engaged in general waste management in Brazil, is the most recent focus abroad, reflecting exponential growth beyond our borders.

The Waste Sector in Portugal is characterised by persistent stagnation of the business growth, while privatisation of the services is still far below expectations and far lower than the European Union's benchmark figures.

Suma has a market share of 54% of the country's privatised market in the collection of solid urban waste and urban cleaning, serving about 2.3 million inhabitants in 54 municipalities. With regard to the solid urban waste management and treatment segment, Suma does business in 36 municipalities, serving over 600,000 inhabitants in Portugal. Abroad, the population covered in Poland is nearing 1 million and in Angola over 1.5 million, while in Brazil about 4 million are covered by the Group's services. The importance of internationalisation is clear to see in the increase of turnover generated in the Waste segment and its relative weight as a proportion of total turnover its already about 20% in 2010, generated by Vista Waste Management in Angola, which provides wastecollection, urban cleaning and environmental education services, and Ekosrodowisko in Poland, which provides services in the area of collection and urban cleaning, snow clearing, interiors cleaning and garden maintenance. Suma continues to be the company that contributed the most to the turnover of the segment, standing as the benchmark player in the solid urban waste and urban cleaning market, though mention must be made of the major contribution of the firms Correia&Correia, Enviroil and Triu, operating in the industrial waste market.

The Waste segment involves about 4,700 workers, providing service in Portugal and abroad, and this, together with over 1,300 items of engine-driven equipment, demonstrate the dimension of a Group that focuses with great ambition on this business area. The Group has several certifications and accreditations in integrated management systems set up at its companies, and Suma is widely recognised as an example of success in its field of operations. It has an unmatched profile on the domestic market, investing in the Quality, Environment and Safety areas with a view to ongoing improvement and compliance with the standards of excellence that are among the attributes of the Group.

Market research and the identification and selection of businesses abroad has came to be of greater importance, not only from a standpoint of breaking into new markets but also in the transposition of the analysis models and in preparation of commercial offers in countries where we already do business. This vector is advancing and there is great growth potential, and being also necessary to take full advantage of Suma's experience and to exploit the potential of the investments already made.

Despite the negative economic surroundings and the difficulties facing organic growth through calls for tenders in Portugal, an analysis of the main indicators shows that Suma is in a position of continuity, demonstrating the dynamism and commitment required to maintain its status of market leader in its field of operations, while assuming once more its commitment to sustainable growth and consolidation.

The safeguard of sustainable development and of the wellbeing of the population is the challenge to which Suma seeks to respond at all times, through diversification and through the progressive advance of its companies and of their provision of services and complete, integrated, competitive and economically viable solutions in the construction of a better environment.

Water

The Water business segment includes the water supply and sewage concessions of the municipalities of Fafe, Santo Tirso, Trofa, Santa Maria da Feira, Matosinhos and Vila do Conde, controlled by subsidiaries of the Indaqua Subgroup. It also includes a public-private partnership with the municipality of São João da Madeira, for the management of the public municipal water supply and wastewater and storm-water collection service in the municipality. On the international market, Indaqua has, since 2009, controlled Vista Water, a company that operates within the Angolan market, fully focused on the Water and Sewerage sector.

Indaqua is the biggest private Portuguese operator insofar as municipal water concessions are concerned. Taking into account that sewerage services are not provided in the Fafe and Santo Tirso/Trofa concessions, Indaqua is not the leader, but ranks second in the market.

The evolution of the domestic market in 2010 was not favourable to Indaqua's growth prospects in that few calls for tender were issued and those that were successively postponed. This notwithstanding, the total number of Indaqua customers, as at December 2010, exceeded 203,000, with the volume of water billed totalling around 24 million m3 , increases of about 3% and 6% respectively over 2009. The total number of Indaqua sewerage customers as at December 2010 amounted to around 137,000, generating sewerage billing in the order of 16 million m3 , increases of about 4% and 8.5% respectively over 2009.

At the start of 2010, Indaqua acquired 5% of the equity capital of Indaqua Feira, and now holds 98% of the company's equity capital, and the remainder of the equity capital of Indaqua Fafe and of Indaqua Santo Tirso/Trofa, as from when it holds the whole of the equity capital of these concessionaire companies.

Investment by the segment in Portugal amounted to €33 million, the larger part invested in infrastructure, involving the construction of sundry works as defined in the Investments Plans of the concessionaire companies.

Of the relevant aspects of the business in 2010, emphasis is given to the new SAP IS-U customer-management applicational platform now uniformly transverse to all the concessionaire companies. On the international market, in 2010, Vistawater consolidated the consultancy contract entered into with the Energy and Waters Ministry in respect of advisory services concerning the public investment programme "Water for All", a contract expected to last until July 2011. Additionally, the Angolan company has developed another business area related with the sale

of equipment and technological solutions in the water area.

The year under review was also marked by an intense search for new geographic markets, essentially in South America. It has been confirmed that the Brazilian and Peruvian markets provide interesting macroeconomic conditions for investment, although, as a result of the overheating of these economies, assets are inflated, constituting two major risks: slowdown of the economy and currency depreciation. Several possibilities of acquisition of relatively small local concessionaire companies have been determined in Peru. In Brazil, where business is high given the existence of a very large investment plan for the coming years in the field of basic sanitation, including the fresh-water supply, wastewater, solid-waste management and urban storm-water management, the Group is actively seeking investment opportunities.

In turn, in Ireland, there are great expectations as to the development of the market, given the shortfall of infrastructures in the water segment.

For 2011, Indaqua expects that 2 to 4 calls for tender will be issued for concessions or participation in municipal companies, and it plans to take part in them all. The business in 2011 will still be centered on further search for new businesses in those geographic markets defined as priorities, on the definition of new business areas in the non-regulated market, and on the consolidation of the harmonisation of the procedures of the various concessionaire companies with a view to improvement of their quality, environment and safety systems.

Logistics

The Logistics segment embraces all the Group's activities in the logistics sector (operation of road-rail terminals, integrated logistics and carriage of goods by rail) and ports sector (operation of marine terminals).

Tertir, a Group holding company for the logistics area, occupies a leading position in port-terminal operations (Lisboa, Leixões, Setúbal and Aveiro). Consolidating its know-how in public infrastructure concessions, it also carries out integrated stevedoring, road and rail transport, logistic and intermodal services, distribution, forwarding and other related services, Here, it is outstanding as the first private Portuguese operator to move into the carriage-of-goods-by rail market and is co-promoter of the country's biggest logistics platform, which is located at Poceirão and will serve the city of Lisbon, the future Lisbon airport and the ports of Lisbon, Setúbal and Sines.

Internationally, the Group does business in several countries, with emphasis on the 30-year concession of the port of Paita in northern Peru, awarded in 2009 to a consortium controlled by the Group (Terminales Portuarios Euroandinos) and to Transitex, a cargo forwarding company that deals with the movement of containers between logistic platforms and port terminals in countries such as Spain, Mozambique and Mexico.

Against a backdrop of poor economic activity in Portugal, this business segment has returned solid results, opening up excellent prospects in focusing on the various businesses linked to the logistics value chain.

During 2010, the Group reorganised the companies of the logistics segment through various mergers and swaps of holdings. This concentrated the business of some companies in just one and placed all the logistics companies under the control of Tertir.

In the wake of the revocation by the Assembly of the Republic of the decree-law that extended up to 2042 the Alcântara terminal concession, an court of arbitration was set up to decide whether there are legal grounds for this revocation. Liscont, supported by the opinions of professors of law of repute consider that the revocation of the terminal's concession is unconstitutional, reiterates the complete legitimacy of its legal position.

In 2010, the Tertir Group maintained its focus of the foreign markets in which the Mota-Engil Group operates, with emphasis on the increase of Sonauta's operating capacity. This Angolan company is specialised in coastal shipping between the various ports of Angola and of other African companies, having invested in a barge of a capacity of 750 tonnes, fundamental to the growth of the company's business.

With regard to rail transport, Takargo Rail, following its award of a carriage of goods by rail operator licence in 2006, consolidated its operations as the Iberian benchmark in the carriage of goods by rail.

The Logistics segment continued to account for majority of this business area in 2010. With a growth of 5% over 2009, the segment generated turnover in the sum of €€159 million (2009: €€151 million). In EBITDA terms the margins improved significantly (20.3% in 2009, compared to 16.7% in 2009). For this reason, despite the increase of turnover, the EBITDA grew by about 28% compared to last year, to stand in 2010 at €€32.3 million (2009: €25.2 million). This performance reflects the growth of Portuguese exports in 2010, which had a direct impact on port activity and on road and rail transport.

Multi-Services

The Mota-Engil Group involves a number of companies engaged in the provision of services in which subcontracting is seen to be an interesting alternative for their customers, who are thus able to outsource activities that are not part of their core business.

Of the companies that make up this area, mention should be made to the activities of the industrial and buildings maintenance segments, through Manvia. This company also operates in the field of pipeline rehabilitation through Manvia Condutas.

Another field of intervention is landscape architecture and design, construction and maintenance of green spaces and golf courses, through Vibeiras and Áreagolfe respectively. Vibeiras is also involved in the Angolan market through Vbt.

Also to mention the involvement in the car-park concessions market through Emsa and Parquegil, companies that have car parks under concessions in several Portuguese cities.

Lending continuity to the process of internationalisation of Vibeiras, emphasis is given to the set up of the firm Vibeiras Moçambique with a local partner of importance.

Lastly, emphasis is also given to Lokemark, a company specialised in the outsourcing of billing and mail finishing and direct-mail services, and to Vortal, a pioneer company specialised in the development and management of electronic-transactions platforms.

With the exception of golf-course construction activity, which declined in 2010, all the other Multi-services businesses continued to grow, substantially in some cases, as in the case of the business of Glan Agua, Manvia, Vortal and Lokemark.

Ascendi Group

The Ascendi Group is the result of the partnership entered into between the Mota-Engil Group and the Banco Espírito Santo Group at the end of 2006 for the transport-concessions area.

This partnership called for the set up of a new autonomous vehicle. Nevertheless, the difficulties arising from the need to safeguard the operational efficiency of the implementation of the partnership led to parties to alter the configuration of the operation, and it came about through the concentration of the holdings in Mota Engil Concessões de Transportes, renamed Ascendi Group in the meantime.

This transfer of holdings began with an operation undertaken on August 24, 2010, in which the equity capital of the Ascendi Group was increased through subscription by ESConcessões involving payment in kind of the equityholdings in the , Costa de Prata , Beiras Litoral e Alta and Porto concessions. The transfer of the other holdings is scheduled to take place during 2011.

With a view to strengthening and consolidating public recognition of the Ascendi brand, the process of implementation of the new image took place during 2010, culminating in July with the alteration of the corporate names of 7 concessionaires and 7 operators, (of the , Costa de Prata , Beiras Litoral e Alta , Porto , , Douro Interior and Pinhal Interior concessions). Through this alteration all the companies came to have the name Ascendi in their designation.

Douro Interior Sub-concession

On March 26, 2010, the Court of Auditors gave its approval to the Douro Interior Sub-concession, allowing the construction activities to go ahead on a regular basis. During December 2010 the first two green-field sections of the sub-concession were opened to traffic (Trancoso/Celorico da Beira section of the IP2, over a distance of about 14 km; and Murça (IP4) / EN 212 Interchange section of the IC5, over a distance of 7 km).

Pinhal Interior Sub-concession

The Sub-concession contracts and the respective financing contracts were signed in April 2010. This subconcession was contracted on the basis of a mixed scheme availability and service charge and it has a life of 30 years. The initial investment amounts to approximately €€1.429 billion. Of this investment about €€210 million will be financed by own funds and the remainder by loans to be taken out from the EIB and commercial banks totalling some €€1,200 million. The value of the construction contract is €€958 million and the construction consortium is headed by Mota-Engil (53.52%). The sub-concession is mainly controlled by the Ascendi Group (79.99%). During 2010 a start was made to the construction work, which is going ahead in keeping the completion deadlines initially estimated.

Overall Agreement with the State

During 2010 alterations to the concession contracts were signed and implemented and, related therewith, to the financing and operating contracts in respect of the North, Costa de Prata, Beiras Litoral e Alta, Greater Porto and Greater Lisbon Concessions. The alterations to the Concession Contracts essentially involved the form of remuneration of the activities of the concessionaire companies, which changed from real or shadow toll remuneration to a remuneration based on availability of the highway infrastructure under concession.

Electronic Toll Collection (Ascendi O&M)

Concluding an intense, demanding process of development and integration of information and operational systems, Ascendi O&M was able to make a start, on October 15, to collect tolls from the users of the Costa de Prata and Porto Concessions through a novel, fully-electronic system of the Multi Lane Free Flow

(MLFF) type. All together, the system comprises 42 collection points. It is now one of Europe's biggest (if not the biggest), with a capacity to collect tolls for every type of vehicle (both light and heavy), putting Ascendi O&M at the forefront of Europe in the development of technological toll collection systems using solely electronic means.

The potential to globalise these systems is frankly large in view of the widespread acceptance of the user-payer principle, as demonstrated by the fact that, as a result of a process begun at the end of 2010 and concluded in January 2011, Ascendi O&M contracted the installation and made a start to the operation of a further two MLFF systems in Portugal, one on the Beiras Litoral e Alta Concession, the other on the North Interior Concession (in which the Ascendi Group does not participate), with a total of 52 new collection points.

Lusoponte

During 2010 the Lusoponte operation evolved as normal for a concession at its stage of maturity within the present macroeconomic framework. It should be pointed out, however, that the importance of the Via Card automatic payment means increased even further, accounting in 2010 for 10.0% of total traffic. On the April 25 Bridge it amounted to 13.4%, a growth of transaction numbers in the order of 2.4% compared to 2009. With regard to the involuntary-violation recovery system known as photo-tolling, installed in 2004, its contribution to the reduction of violations (non-collectables) has allowed the recovery of about 63% of all violations initially recorded.

South Tagus Light Railway Concession

The business took place as expected and there were no outstanding differences in the indices for demand, income and costs. It should be pointed out that in 2010 the integrated environment, quality and safety system certification was obtained with no non-conformity. A negative factor to be noted was the delays to receiving the contractual compensations owed, which caused serious cash-flow restrictions.

Increasing in stake in Portugal

Within the scope of the process of stake reorganisation and lending continuity to the strategy of increasing its role in Portugal, the Ascendi Group acquired at the end of 2010 the stake that Odebrecht and BCP had in the , Costa de Prata , Beiras Litoral e Alta and Porto Concessions. The stake that was acquired from Odebrecht amounted to 13.87% of the North Concession and 14.23% of the Costa de Prata , Beiras Litoral e Alta and Porto Concessions, at a cost of €€126 million. The holdings acquired from BCP amounted to 6.67% of the Concession and 7.5% of the Costa de Prata , Beiras Litoral e Alta and Concessions, at a cost of €€51,9 million.

Acquisition of a holding in Via Verde Portugal

With a view to consolidating the skills in the field of electronic toll collection, driven by the great development of activity generated by the start to the new MLFF systems, a 20% stake was acquired in Via Verde Portugal in October, through Ascendi O&M.

Business Carried on on the International Market in 2010

About to complete two years in operation, the Rodovias do Tietê Concession has contributed to the development of the region in which it is located. The recovery of the more than 400 km of highways allowed the traffic levels provided for in the original business plan to be achieved. The year under review was the first full year of operation of the concession, having accomplished service levels required on the concession plan and the investments called in the initial plan were realised. For 2011, several major investments are planned: laying the optic fibre network along the entire highway network managed by the concessionaire; the Piracicaba Bypass, which will allow a sharp reduction of urban traffic in this city, for which the population has waited for over 20

years; and the start to the doubling of the SP101 and SP308, major means of communication between Campinas, Salto and Piracicaba.

In Mexico, following the approval of May 2011 for the end of the construction of the Perote-Xalapa Concession, a start was made to the process of negotiation with the concessor for the widening of the concession to two-bytwo lanes, rather than the contractually planned situation of one lane in each direction. As of this date the process is practically concluded, and it can be expected that all the documentation to formalise this alteration will be signed in the coming months. This alteration will increase the concession's service level and will allow the entire journey between Vera Cruz and Mexico City (via Xalapa) to be undertaken on a two-by-two lane highway, increasing the traffic potential of the concession. During 2010, construction work went ahead at a rate slower than estimated, caused by the delay to the release of the highway rights, a matter foreign to the concessionaire. At the year-end about 60% of the work had been concluded and now has an A2 profile. Should the process of enlargement be concluded satisfactorily, it can be expected that, in accordance with the new construction schedule, the two-by-two lane construction will be completed by the end of 2012, while the first 30 km of the concession (the Perote-Banderilla connection) will come into operation during the first quarter of 2012.

In 2010, in Mozambique, a consortium headed by Ascendi closed with the government of Mozambique a concession contract in respect of the Tete Bridge for 30 years. It will give rise to the construction of the second road crossing in the city of Tete in the Province of Tete, as well as to several rehabilitation works along the 260 km of the Cuchamano Tete Zóbue highway, which links, within the borders of Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This concession also includes another two (secondary) highway axes, involving a total of 702 km of highway in operation with toll collection, in addition to routine maintenance work. At the end of the year another consortium headed by Ascendi was awarded the title of Preferred Bidder for the Maputo Ka Tembe Ponta do Ouro Concession. An immediate start was made to the tasks leading to the contractual and financial close of this new concession, which are scheduled for conclusion before the end of 2011.

re, to which a concession was awarded in April 2009 for the design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the D1 Motorway. However, prior to the financial close, scheduled for the end of August 2010, the elections held in Slovakia led to a new government that decided to cancel all the highway PPPs for which the financial close had not yet taken place.

Evolution of the concessions and assets portfolios

As mentioned earlier, Ascendi has not yet implemented all the transfers of assets, in that the necessary authorisations involve a complex bureaucratic process. However, the following tables reflect the present portfolio as though the transfers had already been undertaken.

4. MOTA-ENGIL on the stock market

The year of 2010 was marked by the serious crisis within the bond markets of the euro area, reflecting concern as to sovereign foreign-debt default by its peripheral countries (Southern Europe and Ireland). This crisis was the main factor conditioning the evolution of the other markets in Europe. Particularly as from the second quarter of the year there was unheard-of selectivity within the euro area, with investors making a clear distinction between those countries that have accumulated foreign debt as a result of major budget deficits and those where domestic demand has overheated.

During the third quarter, reacting to signs suggesting a fragile, though sustainable economy and to expectations that the North American Federal Reserve could recommence a policy of massive purchases of long-term financial instruments, injecting liquidity into the economy and allowing a reduction of long-term interest rates, the equity markets made a significant recovery. Nevertheless, this trend failed to eliminate uncertainties as to the ability of the Greek, Irish and, to a certain extent, Portuguese States to repay foreign public debt.

Within the context of a new paradigm in which investors in equities were increasingly seen to be more sensitive to company indebtedness and affected also by the uncertainties in the construction industry in Portugal, mainly in the public works sector, the Mota-Engil shares, especially following the sharp rise in 2009 (68%), were severely penalised and fell 55.7% during the year, to a market capitalisation of €356.7 million.

The evolution of the performance of the share price can be analyzed in the following charts:

The intrinsic value of the shares, according to the evaluation made by the eight financial analysts that monitor them, still has a significant upside. The price targets for Mota-Engil stand between €2.60 and €5.00 (the closing price of the shares on December 31, 2010 was €1.743)

With regard to volume, 115 million shares were traded in 2010, 7.3% less than in the previous year. The evolution of liquidity is shown in the following charts:

The company paid out a dividend of 11 cents per share during the first half, providing a dividend yield of 4.4% on the average share price during the year.

The Company's Board of Directors is pleased to present in this report its proposal for the appropriation of profits calling for the payment of a dividend of 11 cents per share.

5. Risk management

The central aim of risk management is to create value through processes involving management and control of uncertainties and threats that could affect the Group's subsidiaries, based on a perspective of long-term continuity of operations.

Exposure to risk by any subsidiary of the Mota-Engil Group must at all times be subordinated to its strategy and be limited to and accessory to the business of each company, to allow them to pursue and meet the goals established for the various business areas.

The boards of each of the Group's business areas are responsible for the Risk Management process, which generally involves a number of sequential stages or phases that are repeated cyclically, detailed as follows:

  • Risk identification: determination of the risks to which the organisation is exposed and of the level of tolerance of exposure to such risks;
  • Risk measurement: quantification of risk exposures, and preparation of basic reports to support decisiontaking;
  • Risk control and management: definition of the measures to be taken in facing risks;
  • Implementation of the established risk-management measures;
  • Evaluation of the risk-management process and, if necessary, realignment and redefinition of strategies.

The Mota-Engil Group has several committees of a consultative nature whose mission is to monitor matters of great importance to its sustained development, bringing to bear an independent, objective vision in support of the decision-taking process of the Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA Board of Directors.

The main duties and responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee are to appraise the Group's investment and business-risk policies and its projects, to examine and issue opinions on investment or divestment plans, to issue opinions on moves into and out of business areas, and to monitor major financial and corporate transactions.

Therefore the main risks to which the Group is subject, which are now addressed, are covered by the in-house reports of this committee, in conjunction with the reports or communications issued by staff having corporate functions, with emphasis on Legal Department, Corporative Planning and Controlling Department, Corporate Finance and Corporate Human Resources Division.

The mission of the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee is to support the management of the MOTA-ENGIL Group in strengthening the means and methods of action employed in internal control and in anticipation of the business risks. The Committee lent continuity to the new cycle of activity begun in 2008, through the Audit and Risk Office, whose resource structure is specifically directed at the following functions:

  • risk identification and appraisal, suggesting the establishment of acceptable risk levels in the light of the established management goals;
  • issue of opinions as to alterations of the degree of risk inherent in the business of the Mota-Engil Group;
  • minimisation of operational deficiencies and losses, strengthening the capabilities of the Mota-Engil Group in the identification of potentially damaging effects, in risk appraisal and in putting forward responses, thus reducing unforeseen costs or losses;

  • identification of transverse risks within the Group, auditing implementation of the corporate policies and good practices of the Mota-Engil Group;

  • issue of prior opinions on risks inherent in the acquisitions and/or disposals defined by the Mota-Engil Group;
  • conformity audits in the development of processes and activities in every materially relevant area and/or company of the Mota-Engil Group.

After the table of risks of the materially relevant companies of the Mota-Engil Group had been drawn up, internal audits are performed annually at several Group companies, the aim being to instil efficiency in the use of the means of internal control and to improve their business processes. This methodology ensures a dynamic process in risk monitoring at each operation of the Mota-Engil Group, promoting adequate measures in the light of the perceived risk, keeping in step with its evolution.

Additionally, in 2010, it was strengthened the monitoring of the implementation of measures suggested in the course of work carried out previously.

Financial Risk Management

The Mota-Engil Group, like other companies and businesses, is exposed to a variety of financial risks, and special attention is warranted in respect of the interest-rate risk, the exchange-rate risk, the liquidity risk and the credit risk.

This set of financial risks is the result of its business and induces uncertainties as to its ability to generate cash flows and returns adequate to the remuneration of equity.

The Group's financial-risk management policy endeavours to minimise possible adverse effects arising from the characteristic uncertainty of the financial markets. This uncertainty, which is reflected in various aspects, requires special attention and concrete, effective measures in the management of the financial risks.

Financial risk management activity is co-ordinated by the Corporate Finance Division with the support of the Corporative Planning and Controlling Department and it is undertaken in accordance and in compliance with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, with the Investment and Risk Audit Committee providing a consultative role, delegated by the former, though the Boards of each business unit of the Mota-Engil Group retain full responsibility.

The Group's stance in respect of financial-risk management is a cautious, conservative one that uses derivatives instruments to hedge risks as and where advisable, always from the standpoint that they are related to the company's normal, routine business. No positions are ever taken in derivatives or other financial instruments of a speculative nature.

The various types of financial risks are interrelated and the various management measures, even though specific to each, are largely related. This interrelation contributes to the pursuit of the same common goal, that is, reduction of the volatility of cash flows and of expected returns.

Interest-rate Risk

The aim of the interest-rate management policy it s to optimise the cost of borrowings and to ensure that financial charges are not excessively volatile, that is, to control and mitigate the risk of incurring losses as a result of variations of the interest rates to which the Group's debt its indexed, most of which is denominated in euros.

By 2008, several business areas have realised various interest-rate hedging operations to fix or limit interest rates on loans, particularly those indexed to the Euribor, involving contracting swaps or other structured

derivatives instruments at zero cost, which contribute, and will continue to do so, to the reduction of the sensitivity of financial charges to possible interest-rate increases.

The rationale underlying these operations is the pursuit of the goal of realising and/or maintaining hedging for about 30% of the Group's corporate debt, usually issued at an indexed or variable rate.

After 2008 and in view of the stagnation to which short, medium and long-term interest rates have been voted, now stable at historic minimum in the wake of the serious, prolonged economic and financial crisis that is affecting us, no new hedges have been taken out for this risk. However, the Group keeps a careful eye in on any reversal of this trend that will surely accompany the inevitable upturn of the economies in the coming years.

Exchange-rate risk

The aim of the exchange-rate risk management policy is to reduce the volatility of investments and transactions expressed in foreign currency (currencies other than the euro), contributing to lesser sensitivity of the Group's profits to currency fluctuations.

The exposure of the Mota-Engil Group to the exchange-rate risk stems mainly from the business done by several of its subsidiaries in various markets, particularly in Angola and Central Europe, where the business accounts for an increasingly important share of turnover, but also, as from 2009, in Central and South America, Mexico and Brazil in particular. This brings about new challenges through exposure to new currencies and new economic and financial realities.

In exchange-rate risk management terms the aim is, as where considered possible or advisable, to carry out natural hedging of the value of the exposure by means of financial debt expressed in the foreign currency associated with the values at risk. Where this does not prove possible or appropriate, other operations are contracted or undertaken from a standpoint of minimisation of their cost, especially to hedge risks in future currency transactions to provide a large degree of certainty as to the amount and date of realisation.

Liquidity Risk

The aim of liquidity-risk management is to ensure that the funds available from time to time within the Group and its subsidiaries are sufficient to cover in a timely manner all the financial commitments entered into. It is therefore a matter of ensuring that the Group has the financial means (balances and financial inflows) required to meet its commitments (financial outflows), as and when they fall due.

Ensuring very considerable financial flexibility, essential to the management of this risk, has been provided by the following management measures:

  • establishing a partnership relationship with the financing entities, ensuring their financial support for the Group from a long-term viewpoint during the good and the bad times that cyclically mark every business;
  • contracting and taking out surplus short-term credit lines, to act as a liquidity reserve, available for use at any moment;
  • carrying out thorough financial planning per company, involving preparation and periodic review of cash flow budgets, allowing a prediction of future cash surpluses and shortfalls, and optimisation and integrated management of the cash flows between Group subsidiaries;
  • financing medium and long-term investments, matching the debt maturities and the repayment plan of the liabilities arising from the loans, with the capacity of the project or company to generate cash flows;
  • starting the process of negotiation of refinancing medium- and long-term loans falling due during the year six months in advance of their maturity;

  • keeping up a debt structure for the companies, with medium and long-term loans standing between 60% and 70%, thus reducing their dependence on more volatile short-term funds, creating a certain immunity to episodic factors affecting the financial markets;

  • ensuring staggered maturity of financial debt over time and continuing to extend the average maturity of the debt to make it more consistent with some of the long-term assets held by the Group;
  • searching for new sources of financing and new lenders, with the aim of:
  • geographic diversification attracting new resources in the various markets in which the Group carries on its business;
  • debt-instrument diversification fund-taking from alternative sources.

Efficient liquidity-risk management is intimately related with the adequate management of the other financial risks, complementing the pursuit of this goal, while ensuring that cash flows are realised on schedule in the planned amounts.

Credit risk

The aim of the credit-risk management policy is to ensure that the Group's subsidiaries effectively collect amounts owed by third parties by the deadlines established and/or negotiated for the purpose.

The Group's exposure to credit risk has to do, in particular, with receivables arising in the normal course of its various businesses, in which special attention is warranted by activities involving provision of services and/or retail sales.

Mitigation of this risk is preventively achieved prior to exposure to the risk, making use of entities that provide credit-risk information and profiles, providing the grounds for decisions to extend credit. Subsequently, after credit is extended, mitigation of this risk involves the organisation and upkeep of credit-control structures and, in some special cases, recourse to credit insurance provided by credible insurers in the marketplace.

These measures contribute to keeping customers' debt at a level that will not affect the financial health of the Group's subsidiaries.

6.

In line with the Ambition 2013 strategic plan, the initiatives developed within the scope of Management of the Group's Human Resources continued to be focused on the seven strategic Human Resources priorities established:

    1. To identify and manage Talent within the Group;
    1. To develop the profile of Group Manager;
    1. To develop skills that add value to the Business;
    1. To promote staff mobility and rotation;
    1. To foster the recruiting and development of International staff;
    1. To align remuneration policy with performance management;
    1. T

In this connection, 2010 was characterised by the consolidation of the Corporate Human Resources Policies and Models as well as by the launch of Corporate Projects and Programmes in the various business areas and markets in which the Group is currently engaged.

6.1 1. Corporate Human Resources Policies and Models

The mission being to ensure a philosophy and architecture common to the diverse businesses and countries in which the Group is involved and, at the same time, to ensure they are appropriate to the sundry realities and needs of the different companies of the Mota-Engil Group, the Corporate HR Policies and Resources will gradually be implemented throughout the Group.

In this respect, 2010 made a positive contribution to the mission designated as "One HR Corporate Standards" through implementation of the approved Corporate Policies and Models at several companies:

management processes.

The Corporate Performance Management Model is designed to support the development, management and recognition of the employees' performance, with a view to promoting employee commitment to the Mota-Engil Values and Strategy and, at the same time, to strengthen the Group Culture.

The International Mobility Policy directed at supporting the creation and development of a global business underpinned by a set of processes and instruments that

The Corporate Functions and Competences Model is a tool central to people management, its aim being to create a common structure able to promote organisational alignment between the various business units/ markets, as well as the creation of bases for the future development of other human resources

The Remuneration Policy, the mission of which is to promote a Group Culture and to reward individual and team performance, ensuring a degree of equity and ability to attract, mobilise and retain the talent necessary to the management of the business.

will promote adequate management of staff mobility within the Group, with a view to meeting the objectives and implementing the strategy of the Mota-Engil Group.

Implementation of HR Corporate Standards within the Mota-Engil Group, providing the various companies/ markets with people-management instruments appropriate to pursuing the strategic goals reflects the realisation of a medium to long-term implementation plan whose results will be progressively consolidated by 2013.

6.2 2. Corporate Human Resources Programmes and Projects

In 2010 there was also a focus on implementation of Corporate Programmes and projects specifically developed to promote the realisation of the seven strategic HR priorities.

The second edition of the MAP project was implemented at Mota-Engil, its mission to identify Talent within the Group with a view to the creation of surroundings that will capitalise the development of the employees' potential.

Strengthening its corporate nature, the 2010 edition of this project involved 248 employees of 21 different companies, involving over 35% of participants from four

foreign markets where the Mota-Engil Group is present. A significant number of these employees are local staff, and this meant a true internationalisation of the project that was entirely bilingual and took place in various countries.

Of the immediate benefits of this second edition of the MAP we wound underscore:

  • Clarification of the employees' development potential in skills considered critical for the business;
  • Sustained identification of the competences to be capitalised, and also of those areas that require further development, directing investment at development initiatives;
  • Collection of qualitative information about the profile of the employees covered by the project, particularly their career-advancement expectations;
  • Increasing the Group's knowledge, aligning the employees with the conduct prized by the Mota-Engil Group.

In the medium term, the MAP Project will allow a focus on development directed at the Group manager profile and, at the same time, it will capitalise the development potential of its employees.

Having the important mission of contributing to the rejuvenation of the Group, start@ME, the Corporate Trainee Induction Programme, is intended to provide Mota-Engil with youths of high potential, a spirit of leadership and motivation to take on challenges.

To fulfill this mission, the programme aims to attract the best resources, recent graduates in several areas, and to incorporate them into the Group, aligning them with the Mota-Engil Culture and Values.

The year under review was particularly important for this Corporate Programme, to the extent that it marked the conclusion of the first edition, putting into practice the planned evaluation model and determining on a sustained basis those youths having the potential to remain with the Group and, at the same time, the start of the second edition of the programme in October 2010.

For 2011, the Mota-Engil Group will lend continuity to the implementation of the HR Corporate Standards plan in the various business units and countries, and also to the development/ monitoring of Corporate Programmes and Projects that will capitalise the development of its People, contribution to the realisation of the seven

priorities. 7. Activity carried out by non-executive Board Members

During the year, the non-executive directors regularly participated in meetings of the Board, discussed the matters under debate and expressed their views on the strategic guidelines and the specific business areas. Where necessary, kept a close contact with the corporate directors and business managers.

8. Proposal for the appropriation of profits

The Individual Management Report contains the following proposal: the Board of Directors of MOTA-ENGIL, SGPS, SA, proposes to the Annual General Meeting the following appropriation of the Net Profit for the year in the sum of €104,429,791:

  • a) To legal reserve 5% or €5,221,489.55;
  • b) For distribution to the Board of Directors under the terms of article 27.3 of the articles of association, the sum of €700,000, or about 0.67%;
  • c) For distribution to equityholders, a total of €22,509,926.45, or 11 cents per share, subject to tax; and
  • d) To free reserves, the remainder, or €75,998,375.00.

9. The Outlook for 2011

Notwithstanding the current international and domestic macroeconomic environment, characterized by many uncertainties, the medium and long term trend outlined by Mota-Engil in its Ambition 2013 plan remains valid.

The Group believes that business that operates with unique value propositions, focused on growth and efficiency of operations, are well positioned to continue to hold up well, if not benefit, the adverse economic environment.

Under these circumstances and in line with its strategic objectives, Mota-Engil expects the following for the year 2011:

  • Growth in consolidated turnover exceeding 10%, supported by a strong order book of construction;
  • Engineering & Construction with over 10% growth in its consolidated turnover, with a trend of stabilising margins;
  • Growth of consolidated turnover in Environment & Services over 10%, with a trend of stabilising margins;
  • Ascendi Group with a contribution to the Group's profit similar to 2010;
  • Order book of more than €3 billion, underpinned by international business.

Attention is called to the fact that these prospects do not constitute a commitment as to the future performance of the Group, but simply a best forecast, as of this date, of the business of its companies in 2011. Therefore, the actual performance achieved in 2011 may differ substantially from these predictions. Additionally Mota-Engil, SGPS does not undertake to update or correct this information because of any alteration of endogenous or exogenous factors that may come to alter the performance of the Group.

10. Subsequent events

The following relevant facts occurred in 2011 by the date of issue of this report, details of which have been adequately divulged as privileged information, via the Mota-Engil and CMVM sites:

  • Mota-Engil announces €158 million contract award in Poland

Mota-Engil informs the award of a contract for the construction of a section of a highway in Poland to the consortium led by its subsidiary MOTA-ENGIL CENTRAL EUROPE (stake of 62%).

The project comprises the design and construction of a section of the Highway S17, between Warsaw and Lublin, with a length of 24.5 Km. The works should be completed in 24 months and the project amounts, approximately, to 624 million zlotys (158 million Euros).

Mota-Engil keeps growing in this market, with a total present backlog of 500 million Euros.

11. Closing remarks

We would like to thank all the Group's employees, for their personal and professional commitment, the Corporate Officers, the customers and all those in any way related with its various companies.

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Mota-Engil Group have been prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies that form the Group, in a manner such that the consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IAS/IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and with the interpretations issued by the International Financial by the European Union.

Interim consolidated financial statements were presented quarterly in Accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

For the Group, there are no differences between the IFRS adopted by the European Union and those published by the International Accounting Standards Board.

January 1, 2005, marked the start to the period of first application of the IAS/IFRS by the Group in keeping with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.

As of the date of approval of these financial statements by the Board of Directors the International Accounting the following standards and interpretations, of mandatory application only in subsequent years, some of which came into force during 2010:

1) Years started on or after the stated date

On December 31, 2010, with the exception of the standards of mandatory application in 2010, the Group was not applying any of the above rules and interpretations. According to the board of directors of the Group they will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements during the period of their first application.

The more significant impacts on the financial statements of the Mota-Engil Group, stemming from the adoption of the standards of mandatory application in 2010 are set out in the following comments:

IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements

This Interpretation establishes the provisions to be applied in the measurement, recognition, presentation and disclosure of activities carried on within the scope of public-service concession contracts.

Application of this Interpretation has introduced several alterations to the provisions and interpretation of the standards previously in force, whose impact on the financial statements of the Group's concessionaire companies occurred mainly:

  • (i) in the reclassification to intangible fixed assets of a part of the fixed assets under concession in which the Group's concessionaire companies had and have an operating right in respect thereof and in which they assume the risk inherent in the demand of the operation (intangible model);
  • (ii) in the reclassification to receivables of a part of the fixed assets under concession in which the Group's concessionaire companies have an unconditional right to receive predetermined amounts and in which they do not assume the risk inherent in the demand of the operation (financial model);
  • (iii) In the recognition under financial results of the majority of the income inherent in the assets classified as receivables, which, as of the date of mandatory application of this Interpretation, were mainly carried under operating income headings.

Owing to the application of this standard the Mota-Engil Group restated in its consolidated accounts the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity. The balance sheet headings are presented with the comparative figures restated to incorporate the effects of the corrections.

IFRIC 15 Agreements for the construction of real estate

This interpretation addresses the way of assessing whether an agreement for the construction of an immovable is within the scope of IAS 11 Construction contracts or within that of IAS 18 Revenue, and how the revenue associated with such transactions should be recognised. Application of this Interpretation has introduced some alterations to the recognition of the results associated with property development built and promoted by the Group. Owing to the application of this standard the Mota-Engil Group restated in its consolidated accounts the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity.

Additionally, in 2010, so as to transmit a more faithful and appropriate image of the financial situation of the Mota-Engil Group, as well as of the results of its operations, the Group altered the method of consolidation of its financial interests in Joint Arrangements (from the proportional consolidation method to the equity method) for the following reasons:

  • In this connection, the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), the entity that systematically studies and reviews the IAS/IFRS, Exposure Draft nº 9 (ED9) in September 2007, in which the elimination was proposed of the proportional consolidation method in recording Joint Arrangements, to the extent that in these situations the participating entities did not severally have effective control of their share of the assets or were not responsible for their share of the respective liabilities. Therefore, ED9 recommended the adoption of the equity method instead of the proportional consolidation method.
  • Additionally. since the Mota-Engil Group shares the grounds set out in the already mentioned Exposure Draft, which is likewise convergent with the American accounting standards, and given that the equity method was a treatment already allowed under IAS 31, it decided to alter the form of consolidation of its Joint Arrangements with effect as from January 1, 2020, and, for the purpose, it has restated its financial statements for prior periods in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8.

The interests of Mota-Engil Group in Joint Arrangements are accounted under the Equity Method as detailed in Note 20.

The main impacts in consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the adoption of IFRIC 12 and IFRIC 15 and from the change in the consolidation method of joint arrangements might be summarized as follows:

Additionally, on December 31, 2010, as a result of changes of consolidation method on jointly controlled companies (from proportional consolidation method to equity method) ceased to be included in the consolidated financial statements, approximately €€2 billion of assets and liabilities, as well as €€200 million of profits and losses. The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro since this is the main currency of the Group's operations.

The financial statements of subsidiaries that use foreign currency have been translated into euro in accordance with the accounting policies described in indent xvi) of the Main Valuation Criteria of this Note. All estimates and assumptions made by the board of directors have been based on their knowledge as of the date of approval of the financial statements and of the events and transactions in progress.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IAS/IFRS, the Group's board of directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the assets and liabilities reported, as well as the income and costs incurred in respect of the accounting periods in question, as described in indent xxvi) of the Main accounting criteria of this Note.

The attached consolidated financial statements have been prepared for appraisal and approval at the annual general meeting. The Groups' board of directors believes that they will be approved without alteration.

1.2. Basis of consolidation

The consolidation methods employed by the GROUP are as follows

a) Group companies

Financial holdings in companies in which the GROUP directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights at General Meetings of Equityholders and/or has the power to control its financial and operating policies (the definition of control used by the GROUP), have been included in the attached consolidated financial statements by the full consolidation method. The equity and net profit/(loss) of these companies corresponding to the stake of third parties in these companies are carried in the consolidated balance sheet (under equity) and in the consolidated financial situation statement (included under consolidated net profits) respectively, under the Non-controlling interests subheading.

If losses attributable to the minorities exceed the minority interest in the equity of the subsidiary, the GROUP absorbs this excess and any other additional losses, unless the minorities have the obligation and the capacity to cover such losses. If the subsidiary subsequently returns a profit, the GROUP appropriates the whole of the profit until such time as the minority's share of the losses absorbed has been recouped.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the year are included in the income statements as from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of their sale (assignment of control).

Transactions, balances and dividends distributed between GROUP companies are eliminated in the consolidation process.

In those cases in which the GROUP has substantial control of special purpose entities (SPEs), even though it has no direct equityholdings in such entities, the SPEs are consolidated using the full consolidation method. As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, there were no entities in such a situation.

b) Associate companies

Financial holdings in associate companies (companies in which the GROUP exercises significant influence, but does not have control, through participation in the financial and operational decisions of the company generally investments representing between 20% and 50% of the issued capital of a company) are recorded, under financial investments using the equity method.

In accordance with the equity method, equityholdings are recorded at acquisition cost adjusted for the value corresponding to the GROUP'S holding in the changes in equity (including net profit) of the associates, with a contra entry under gains or losses for the year and for dividends received, net of accumulated impairment losses.

The assets and liabilities of each associate (including contingent liabilities) are carried at their fair value on the date of acquisition. Any excess/(shortfall) of the acquisition cost compared to the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is recognised respectively as goodwill and is added to the value of the financial investment, or, in the case of shortfall and provided it is maintained following reconfirmation of the fair value valuation process, in the income statement for the period.

A valuation is performed of the investments in associates where there are signs that the asset could be impaired, any loss being recorded in the income statement on confirmation of the impairment. Where impairment losses recognised in previous years no longer exist, they are written back.

Where the GROUP'S proportion of the accumulated losses of the associate exceeds the book value of investment, the investment is carried at zero value until such time as the equity of the associate becomes positive, unless the GROUP has entered into commitments with the associate and, in this case, has set aside a provision meet such obligations.

Unrealised gains on transactions with associates are eliminated in the proportion of the GROUP'S interest in the associate, with a contra entry under the investment in the associate in question. Unrealised gains are similarly eliminated, but only up to the point at which the loss does not show that the transferred asset is impaired.

Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the subsidiaries' financial statements to approximate their accounting policies with those used by the GROUP.

c) Jointly-controlled companies

As from January 2010, financial interest in joint arrangements was accounted for in the financial statements according to the equity method. According to this methodology, financial investments are accounted for at the acquisition price, adjusted by the Group a contra entry under gains or losses in the financial year and dividends received, net from accumulated imparities.

Additionally, the jointly controlled companies that are mainly dedicated to construction activities accounted for in the financial statements according to the proportional consolidation method since the time that the management became jointly controlled. According to this methodology, the assets, liabilities, gains and losses of these companies are accounted in the consolidated financial statements in the relative proportion of the control attributable to the Group.

Classification of financial interests in jointly-controlled companies/ entities is determined on the basis of:

  • equityholders' agreements governing joint control;
  • the actual percentage of the holding;
  • the voting rights held.

Transactions, balances and dividends distributed between companies are eliminated, in the proportion of the control attributable to the Group

1.3. Main valuation criteria

The main valuation criteria, judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements during the periods under review are as follows:

i) Positive consolidation differences

controlling interests and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of these companies as of the acquisition date, whenever positive, are acc figure, are booked directly in the Income Statement. The differences between the acquisition price of the affiliated companies and joint arrangements and the fair value of assets and liabilities of these companies as of the date of the

confirmation of the latter figure, are booked directly in the Income Statement.

The Group, on a transaction by transaction basis (for each business combination), will choose to quantify any noncontrolling interest in the acquired company for either fair value or proportionally to the non-controlling interest of the net assets of the acquired. Until January 1st 2010, non-controlling interests were exclusively valued in accordance with the proportion of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities.

Future contingent payments are recognized as a liability as of the date of the corporate merger at its fair value, any change in the initial value being registered a months following the acquisition date) and if related with events prior to the acquisition date otherwise it will have to be booked against net profit.

Acquisitions or disposals of stakes in already controlled entities whenever not losing their control are treated as transactions between capital owners only affecting shareholders equity with no impact on Goodwill nor net profit.

Whenever a disposal generates a loss in control, assets and liabilities of the disposed entity will have to be disregarded and whatever interest recognized in the disposed company will have to be reassessed at fair value and the eventual gain or loss arising from the disposal accounted as net profit.

Until January 1st, 2004, Goodwill was amortized during the estimated timeframe to recover the investment, As from January 1st, 2004, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business combinations Group suspended the amortization of Goodwill, pursuing imparity tests. As from that date, imparity losses of the financial year related to Goodwill are booked in the

ii) Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are carried at acquisition or production cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses, and they are recognised only if it is likely that they will generate future benefits for the Group, if their value can be reasonably measured and if the Group has control over them.

Intangible fixed assets basically consist of concession operating licences (stemming from the processes of imputing fair value to assets acquired in business combination procedures), which are written down using the straight-line method over their useful life, and of software, which is written down using the straight-line method over a period of three to six years.

Research costs are recognised as costs for the year in which they are incurred, whereas formation costs and issued capital increase costs are deducted from equity.

iii) Premises

Immovables (land & buildings) for own use are recorded at their revalued value, which is their fair value as of the revaluation date less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses. Revaluation is undertaken periodically by independent property valuers in a manner such that the revalued amount does not materially differ from the fair value of the respective property. In those situations in which the fair value determined by the valuations is slightly greater than the amount carried in the financial situation statement, the Group, for a question of prudence, does not update the assets subject to the valuation to their fair value. For reasons to do with the working of the respective markets, the Group has opted not to apply this policy to properties held in African countries, in some Central European countries and in Peru, which it carries at acquisition cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses.

Adjustments caused by revaluations of own-use immovables are taken to equity. If a tangible fixed asset that was positively revalued in subsequent years and is then negatively revalued, the adjustment is taken to equity up to an amount equal to the increase of equity caused by the previous revaluations, less the amount realised through

depreciation, any surplus being recorded as cost for the year.

Depreciation is charged on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the buildings, which currently varies between 20 and 50 years, while land is not depreciated.

Buildings under construction by the Group, particularly in Angola, are carried at production cost, including the cost of materials consumed, staff costs incurred and other costs, which is less than the realisable value.

iv) Land assigned to quarrying operations

Land assigned to quarrying operations, as well as several related costs (costs incurred with the licensing and start-up of the quarries, and costs to be incurred with their dismantling) are carried at a revalued amount, which is their fair value as of the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated impairment losses. In those situations in which the fair value determined by the valuations is slightly greater than the amount carried in the financial situation statement, the Group, for a question of prudence, does not update the assets subject to the valuation to their fair value. The revaluations are performed periodically by the Group's external specialists in a manner such that the revalued amount does not materially differ from the fair value of the quarry in question. Depreciation of these assets is undertaken in accordance with the quantity of stone quarried each year taking into account the residual value of the quarry on conclusion of quarrying.

Adjustments caused by revaluations of land assigned to quarrying operations are taken to equity. If the quarry that was positively revalued in subsequent years is then negatively revalued, the adjustment is taken to equity up to an amount equal to the increase of equity caused by the previous revaluations, less the amount realised through depreciation, any surplus being recorded as cost for the year.

v) Other tangible fixed assets

Other tangible fixed assets acquired up to December 31, 2003, are carried at their deemed cost, which corresponds to the acquisition cost or acquisition cost revalued in accordance with accounting practices generally accepted in Portugal up to the mentioned date, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Other tangible fixed assets acquired after that date are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Tangible fixed assets in progress comprise fixed assets still under construction/ development, and are carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated after the assets are in a position to be used, that is, when the underlying assets are ready for use in the required conditions, in terms of quality and technical reliability, to operate in accordance with the requirements of the Group's board of directors, and it is systematically charged over the useful life determined taking into account the expected use of the asset by the Group, on the basis of the expected natural wear, of subjection to predictable technical obsolescence and of the residual value attributable to the asset. The residual value attributable to the asset is estimated on the basis of the residual value prevailing on the date of the estimate of similar assets that have reached the end of their useful lives and have operated under conditions similar to those under which the asset is to be used.

The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives

Equipment:
Plant & machinery (except that assigned to the concessions) 3 to 10
Office equipment 4 to 10
Transport equipment 3 to 10
Tools & utensils 3 to 6
Other tangible fixed assets: 3 to 10

Subsequent expenses on the replacement of components of fixed assets by the Group is added to the respective tangible fixed assets, the net value of the replaced components of such assets being written off and recorded as a cost under Other operating costs.

Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the useful life nor provide significant amelioration or improvement of the items of tangible fixed assets are recorded as a cost for the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation and amortisation of tangible and intangible fixed assets are recorded on a monthly basis under Depreciation in the income statement. Any alteration of the estimated useful life of the fixed assets is undertaken on a prospective basis.

vi) Leasing

Lease contracts are classified as (i) finance leases if, through them, all the risks and advantages inherent in possession of the leased assets are substantially transferred, and as (ii) operating leases if, through them, all the risks and advantages inherent in the possession of the leased asset are not substantially transferred.

Classification of leases as finance or operating is undertaken in the light of the substance and not of the form of the contract.

Fixed assets acquired under finance lease contracts, as well as the corresponding liabilities, are recorded using the financial method, with recognition of the tangible fixed assets, the corresponding accumulated depreciation, as defined in Indents iii) and v) hereabove and debts pending settlement in keeping with the contractual financial plan. Additionally, the interest included in the value of the lease payments and the depreciation of the tangible fixed asset is recognised as costs in the income statement of the year to which they refer.

In operating leases payments owed are recognised as a cost in the income statement on a linear basis over the life of the lease contract.

vii) Investment Properties

Investment properties consist of land and buildings the purpose of which is to generate rents and/or secure the appreciation of capital invested (particularly land held in Central Europe for a future undetermined current use) and not for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for administrative purposes or for sale during the course of day-to-day business.

Investment properties, including those at the construction stage, are recorded at their fair value determined by an annual valuation performed by independent, specialised entities or in accordance with current prices realisable on the market in question.

Variations of the fair value of investment properties are recognised directly in the income statement for the period under variation of the value of investment properties. For reasons to do with the working of the Angolan market, the Group has opted not to apply this policy to investment properties held in that country, and it carries them at acquisition cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses. At the end of 2010, the Group held no investment properties in Angola.

Costs incurred with investment properties in use, namely maintenance, repairs, insurance and property taxes (municipal rates), are recognised in the consolidated income statement for the period to which they refer.

viii) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their book value can be recovered only through a sale and not through their ongoing use. For such assets to be so classified they have to be available for immediate sale as found,

the sale has to be highly probable, the board of directors must be committed to execute such a sale and the sale must occur within 12 months, as determined in IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are carried at the lesser of book value and fair value, after deduction of expected selling costs.

ix) Financial assets & liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the financial position statement when the Group becomes a contracting party to the respective financial instrument.

a) Financial instruments:

The Group profit & classification depends of the intention underlying the investment.

The classification is determined at the time of the initial recognition and is reappraised half-yearly.

  • Investments carried at fair value through profit & loss: this category is divided into two sub-categories: classified in this category, particularly if acquired to be sold in the short term or if the adoption of valuation using this method eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting lag. Derivatives instruments are also classified as held for trading unless assigned to hedging operations. Assets of this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or if they are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date;

  • Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets having fixed or variable reimbursements that are not quoted in active, liquid markets. These financial investments arise when the Group provides cash, goods or as current assets, except in those cases in which the maturity is greater than 12 months of the balance sheet date, these being classified as non-current assets. In both cases, this category appears in the financial position statement under Customers and Other debtors;

  • Investments held for sale: These include financial assets, other than derivatives, that are designated as held for sale or those that do not fall within the previous categories. This category is included under non-current assets unless the board of directors intends to sell the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Investments held to maturity are classified as non-current assets unless they fall due within 12 months of the balance sheet dat -current.

All purchases and sales of these investments are recognised on the date of signature of the respective contracts, regardless of the financial settlement date.

The investments are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is the sum paid on acquisition date and corresponds to their fair value as of that day, including transaction costs.

After initial recognition, investments recorded at fair value through profit & loss and held-for sale investments are revalued at their fair value as marked to market as of the balance sheet date, with no deduction in respect of transaction costs that might be incurred up to their sale.

Gains or losses arising from alteration of the fair value of held-for sale are investments are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Fair Value Reserve - Held-for-sale investments" until such time as the investment is sold, received or in any other way disposed of, or in those cases in which the fair value of

the investment is lower than cost and provided it is considered a significant or permanent impairment loss, when the accumulated gain or loss is recorded in the income statement.

Gains or losses caused by alteration to the fair value of trading investments are recorded in income statement for the period.

Gains and losses, realised or otherwise, caused by an alteration to the fair value of "Investments held at fair value through profit & loss" are recorded in the income statement for the period.

The fair value of the investments is based on current market prices. If the market of which the investment is a part is not an active or liquid one (unquoted investments), the Group establishes its fair value using other valuation techniques, such as transactions in substantially similar financial instruments, financial-flow analyses and price option models adjusted to reflect the specific circumstances. The fair value of listed investments is calculated on the basis of the Euronext close on the balance sheet date.

The Group performs valuations on each balance sheet date if there is objective evidence that a financial asset could be impaired. In the case of capital instruments classified as held for sale, a significant or prolonged decline of their fair value to less than cost indicates that the asset is in a situation of impairment. For other assets, objective signs of impairment may include:

  • financial difficulties of the counterparty in settling its debts;
  • failure by the counterparty to repay in a timely manner credit extended by the Group;
  • high probability that the counterparty may be involved in bankruptcy or debt-restructuring proceedings.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment results from the difference between their book value and the present value of future cash flows discounted at the initial real interest rate.

The book value of financial assets is reduced directly by any impairment losses encountered, with the exception of trade accounts receivable and other debtors for whom the Group sets aside a specific "Accumulated impairment loss" account. When an account receivable from customers or other debtors is considered a bad debt, it is written off against "Accumulated impairment losses". Amounts subsequently received in respect of accounts receivable from customers or other debtors written off in the financial statements are credited to the income statement for the period. Alterations to "Accumulated impairment losses" are recorded in the income statement for the period.

With the exception of Available-for-sale investments, if, in a subsequent year, there is a reduction of accumulated impairment losses and if this decrease is objectively the result of an event after the date of recognition of the impairment, the decrease is recorded through the income statement for the period up to the limit of the existing Accumulated impairment loss.

Investments held to maturity are recorded at amortised cost using the real interest rate, net of amortisation of principal and interest received.

All available-for-sale financial investments involving shares in unlisted companies are carried at their acquisition cost, taking into account always any impairment losses in the event of objective proof of impairment. The Group's board of directors is of the conviction that the fair value of these investments does not differ significantly from their acquisition cost.

Dividends received in respect of equity instruments classified as Available-for-sale investments are recognised in the income statement for the period in which the right to receive them was established.

b) Customers & other debtors

The debts of "Customers" and of "Other debtors" are carried at their nominal value less any accumulated impairment losses, so as to reflect their net realisable value.

c) Borrowings

Borrowings are carried in liabilities at amortised cost. Any costs incurred with the issue of these loans are carried as a deduction from the debt and are recognised over the life of the loans in question, in keeping with the actual interestrate method.

d) Accounts payable

Accounts payable that do not bear interest are recorded at their nominal value, which is substantially the same as their fair value, in that the effect of the discount is considered immaterial.

e) Financial liabilities and own funds instruments

Financial liabilities and own funds instruments are classified in accordance with the contractual substance of the transaction. The Group considers own funds instruments to be those in which the contractual support of the transaction shows that the Group has a residual interest in a set of assets after deduction of a set of liabilities.

f) Derivatives instruments

The Group uses derivatives instruments in the management of its financial risks solely to hedge these risks, and derivatives instruments are not used for speculative purposes. Use of financial derivatives instruments is duly authorised by the board of directors of the Group.

The derivatives instruments used by the Group defined as cash-flow hedging instruments involve solely interest-rate hedging instruments in respect of loans obtained. The amount of the loans, the interest payment dates and the repayment plans of the loans underlying the interest-rate hedging instruments are similar to the conditions established for the loans taken out.

The criteria employed by the Group in classifying derivatives instruments as cash-flow hedging instruments are as follows:

  • the hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting alterations to cash flows attributed to the hedged risk;
  • effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
  • there is adequate documentation as to the transaction to be hedged at the beginning of the operation; and
  • the transaction covered by the hedge is highly probable.

Interest-rate hedging instruments are initially recorded at cost, if any, and are subsequently revalued at their fair value. Alterations to the fair value of these instruments, associated with that part that is actually hedged, are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Fair value reserves derivatives", and are transferred to the income statement for the period that the instrument that is hedged affects the results.

Accounting of derivatives instruments is discontinued when the instrument falls due or is sold. In those cases in which the derivative instrument is no longer qualified as a hedging instrument, accumulated differences of fair value deferred in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Fair value reserves - Derivatives" are transferred to the income statement for the period or added to the value of the asset to which the transactions subject to hedging gave rise, and subsequent revaluations are recorded directly under the headings of the income statement.

With regard to derivatives instruments which, though contracted for economic hedging purposes, do not meet all the requirements of IAS 39 Financial Instrument: Recognition and Measurement insofar as the possibility of accounting qualification as hedges is concerned, the respective variations of fair value are recorded in the income statement for the period in which they occur.

g) Treasury shares

Treasury shares are carried at acquisition cost as a deduction from equity. Gains or losses inherent in the sale of treasury shares are recorded under Other reserves

h) Bills discounted and accounts receivable assigned under factoring arrangements

The Group derecognises the financial assets of its financial statements solely when contractual entitlement to the financial flows inherent in such assets expires or when the Group substantially transfers all the risks and benefits inherent in the possession of such assets to a third party.

Consequently, customer balances secured by bills discounted not yet fallen due and accounts receivable assigned under factoring arrangements as of the date of each balance sheet, with the exception of factoring operations without recourse, are recognised in the Group's financial statements up to such time as they are received, with a contra entry under "Sundry creditors".

x) Cash and cash equivalents

The amounts carried under "Cash & cash equivalents" correspond to cash-in-hand, bank deposits at sight and with agreed maturity dates and other cash placements falling due within less than three months that can be mobilised immediately and have an insignificant risk of alteration of value.

xi) Inventories

Merchandise, raw and subsidiary materials, and consumables are carried at the lesser of average acquisition cost or of market value (estimated selling price less costs to be incurred with their sale). Finished and semi-finished products, sub-products and products and work in progress are carried at production cost, which is less than market value. Production costs include the raw materials incorporated, direct labour and manufacturing overheads.

xii) Accrual accounting

Income and expenditure are recorded in accordance with the accrual accounting principles whereby they are recognised as and when generated regardless of the moment when they are received or paid. Differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding revenues and expenses are recorded under "Other current assets", "Other current liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities".

xiii) Revenue

Revenue is recorded at the fair value of assets received or receivable, net of expectable discounts and returns.

a) Recognition of costs and income generated by works

The Group recognises the results of works, contract by contract, in accordance with the percentage of finishing method, understood to be the ratio between costs incurred by each job up to a given date and the sum of those costs with those estimated to complete the job. Differences between the figures obtained by the application of the degree of finishing to the estimated income and the sums invoiced are recorded under "Production not invoiced" or "Advance billing", included under "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities".

As far as construction contracts performed by companies/affiliated companies in African countries are concerned, revenues are accounted in accordance with the interim payment certificate of performed works with positive or negative differences from the revenues invoiced calculated on a contract basis and shown in sub- -invoiced stemming from the adoption of this policy as compared to the one described in the above paragraph does not produce any materially relevant effect in consolidated financial statements.

Variations of the works affecting the income agreed for the contract are recognised in the income statement for the period, provided it is likely that the customer will approve the revenue caused by the variation and that it can be reliably measured.

Claims for reimbursement of costs not included in the contract price are included in the contract value when the negotiations reach an advanced state at which it is likely that the customer will accept same and they can be reliably measured.

To meet costs to be incurred during the works' warranty period, the Group recognises each year a liability to cover this legal obligation, which is determined taking into account the year's production volume and the history of costs incurred in the past with works during the warranty period.

When it is probable that the total costs provided for in the construction contract will exceed the income defined therein, the expected loss is immediately recognised in the income statement for the period.

b) Short-duration civil construction works and public works

In this provision of services contracts the Group recognises income and costs as they are invoiced or incurred, respectively.

c) Recognition of costs and income in real-estate business

Relevant costs incurred with real-estate undertakings are calculated taking account the direct cost of construction as well as all costs associated with the preparation of plans and with the licensing of the works. Costs attributable to financing, supervision and inspection of the undertaking are also added to the cost of real-estate undertakings, provided they are under way.

For the purpose of capitalisation of financial charges and costs incurred with the supervision and inspection of the undertaking, it is considered that the undertaking is under way if a decision of the authorities involved is awaited, or if the undertaking is under construction. Should the undertaking not be in one of the foregoing circumstances, it is considered stopped and capitalisation referred to above is suspended.

In accordance with IFRIC 15, Sales in the real estate activity are recognized whenever all the risks related to the asset are substantially transferred to the buyer (or, at the date of signature of the transfer ownership contract of the asset).

xiv) Cost of preparation of bids

Costs incurred with the preparation of bids for sundry calls for tender are recognised in the income statement for the period in which they are incurred, in view of the fact that the outcome of the bid cannot be controlled.

xv) Own work capitalised

Own work capitalised consists basically of construction and repair work carried out by the companies themselves, as well as major repairs of equipment, including materials, direct labour and overheads.

These costs are capitalised only where the following requirements are met:

  • the assets developed are identifiable;
  • there is strong probability that the assets will come to generate future economic benefits; and
  • the development costs are reliably measurable

xvi) Assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rates ruling on the reporting date. Currency translation differences, both favourable and unfavourable, stemming from differences between exchange rates ruling on the date of the transactions and those ruling on the date of the collections or payments or balance sheet dates, are recorded as income and costs in the income statement for the period.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the financial statements of the Group's foreign entities are translated into euros using the exchange rates ruling on the balance sheet date. Costs and income, as well as the cash flows are also translated into euros at the average annual rate. The resultant currency translation difference is recorded under equity under Currency translation reserves. At the time of sale of such foreign entities, the accumulated currency translation differences are recorded in the income statement for the period.

Currency translation differences associated with receivables/ payables whose maturity are not defined but is expected to occur (net investment in foreign operational units) are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and are transferred to the income statement for the period when the receivables/ payables are amortised/ disposed of/ settled.

Goodwill and the fair-value adjustments of assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the acquisition of foreign entities are dealt with as assets and liabilities in foreign currency and are translated into euros at the exchange rates ruling on the balance sheet date.

The financial statements of subsidiaries and branches expressed in foreign currencies are translated into euros.

xvii) Income tax

Since January 2010 Mota-Engil is covered by the special taxation of groups of companies mechanism, and therefore the current tax is calculated on the basis of the taxable profits of the companies included in the consolidation and in the special mechanism, in keeping with its rules.

The special taxation of groups of companies mechanism includes all companies in which there is a direct or indirect holding of at least 90% of the equity capital, are resident in Portugal and are taxed under Corporate Income Tax.

For companies not covered by the special taxation mechanism, current tax is calculated in the basis of their taxable profits, in accordance with the tax rules in force at the place of each company's registered office. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the balance sheet liability method and refer to temporary differences between the values of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their respective values for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and valued each year using the tax rates in force on or announced for, the date of reversion of the temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are recorded only when there are reasonable expectations of future tax profits sufficient to use them. On each balance sheet date a reappraisal is performed of the differences underlying deferred tax assets with a view to recognising deferred tax assets not previously recorded because the conditions to do so were not then extant and/or to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets recorded in the light of present expectations of their future recovery.

The amount of tax to be included both under current tax and under deferred tax resulting from transactions or events recognised under reserves is recorded directly under those headings and does not affect the year's result.

xviii) Financial charges on borrowings

Financial charges related with borrowings are generally recognised as a cost in accordance with accrual accounting principles.

Financial charges on borrowings directly related with the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets or associated with motorway concessions or real-estate projects classified under inventories, are capitalised and come to form part of the cost of the asset. Capitalisation of these charges begins following the start of preparation of the activities involving construction or development of the asset and is interrupted following the start of the use or the end of production or construction of the asset, or in the event that the product in question is suspended.

xix) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when and only when the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) resulting from a past event and it is probable that, to fulfill such an obligation, there will be an outflow of funds, provided that the amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The provisions are reviewed on each balance sheet date and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate on that date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties inherent in such estimates. Where a provision is determined taking into account the future cash flows required to settle the obligation it is recorded for their actual value.

Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised by the Group whenever there is a formal, detailed restructuring plan that has been communicated to the parties involved.

xx) Pensions

Liabilities for defined-benefit pension plans attributed to some former and present employees of the Group are suited to the plan in question.

xxi) Subsidies granted by the State

Subsidies granted to finance personnel training courses are recognised as income during the period of time in which the Group incurs the respective costs and are presented in the income statement as a deduction from these costs.

Subsidies granted to finance investment in fixed assets are recorded as deferred income and are recognised in the income statement over the estimated useful life of the assets in question.

xxii) Impairment of assets other and goodwill

An impairment valuation is undertaken on each balance sheet date and whenever an event or alteration to circumstances is identified, suggesting that the amount at which an asset is carried may not be recovered. In the event that the sum at which an asset is carried is greater than its recoverable value, impairment loss is recognised and is recorded in the income statement under Other operating costs . The amount recoverable is the higher of net selling price and of the value-in-use. The net selling price is the amount that can be obtained on the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction, less costs directly attributable the sale. The value-in-use is the present value of future estimated cash flows arising from the ongoing use of the asset and from its sale at the end of its useful life. The amount recoverable is estimated for the asset, individually, or, should this not be possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversal of impairment losses recognised in previous years is recorded when the reasons that caused the recording no longer exist and, consequently, the asset is no longer impaired. Reversal of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement as an operating profit. However, reversal of an impairment loss is undertaken up to the limit of the sum that would be recognised (either through the historic costs or through its revalued value, net of amortisation of depreciation) had the impairment loss not been recorded in previous years.

Evidence that impairment exists in accounts receivable appears where:

  • the counterparty is in significant financial difficulty;
  • there are significant delays in payment by the counterparty of interest and principal; and
  • it become probable that it will be wound up or go into financial restructuring.

In the case of inventories, any reduction of their net realisable value is calculated on the basis of market values and of various inventory-rotation indicators.

For Goodwill and for Financial investments, the recoverable amount is essentially determined on the basis of the latest financial projections in respect of such assets.

xxiii) Balance sheet classification

Assets realisable and liabilities enforceable more than one year after the balance sheet date are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities respectively. Additionally, for their nature, deferred tax assets and liabilities and "Provisions" are classified as non-current assets and liabilities (Note 13 Income Tax and Note 29 Provisions, respectively).

xxiv) Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements and are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements unless the possibility of an outflow of funds affecting future economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements, but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when it is likely that there will be a future economic benefit.

xxv) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information on conditions that existed as of the reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events following the -adjusting financial statements.

xxvi) Judgments and estimates

In preparing the financial statements the Group's board of directors based itself on its best knowledge and experience of past and/or current events while taking into account certain assumptions in respect of future events.

The more significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 & 2008, include:

  • fair value and useful lives of the tangible assets, land, buildings and quarrying in particular;
  • impairment tests performed on goodwill and on tangible assets;
  • recording provisions and impairment losses;
  • recognition of costs and income generated by works in progress;
  • determination of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments.

The estimates were made on the basis of the best information available on the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. However, situations could occur during subsequent periods that, not being predictable at this time, were not taken into account in these estimates. Alterations to these estimates taking place after the date of the consolidated financial statements will be revised in results in a prospective manner, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8.

xxvii) Consolidated cash-flow statement

The consolidated cash-flow statement is prepared in accordance with IAS 7, using the direct method. The Group alteration of value is insignificant, including the blocked sums of term deposits of the concessionaire companies assigned to debt servicing.

The cash-flow statement is divided into operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include cash received from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to staff and others related with operating activities. Cash flows involved in investing activities include, in particular, acquisitions and disposals of investments in associates and subsidiaries and cash paid and received stemming from the purchase and sale of fixed assets.

The cash flows related to financing activities include, in particular, cash paid and received in respect of borrowings, finance lease contracts and dividend payments.

xxviii) Management of capital invested

The fundamental aim of capital management at the Mota-Engil Group is to ensure the continuity of the Group's operations in an endeavour to maximise the creation of value for its equityholders, especially through the adoption of an efficient structure of capital employed through optimisation in the balance sheet of the ratio between own and borrowed funds.

The Group's capital structure therefore comprises its equity, debt with recourse, debt without recourse and also amounts available as cash & cash equivalents.

Equity includes the fully subscribed and paid up issued capital of Mota-Engil SGPS in the sum of €€204,635,695, represented by €204,635,695 ordinary shares each of a par value of €1, admitted to listing in the Euronext Lisbon regulated securities market. It also includes all the reserves of capital accumulated by the Group, namely those imposed by law, the free reserves, the asset-revaluation reserves, the currency-translation reserves and the goodwill reserves created on the consolidation of the Group companies. Lastly, it also includes previous years' results not paid out to equityholders.

Generally speaking, Group debt has two different sources: debt with recourse and debt without recourse. These two categories differ in the type of liability assumed by the Group in respect of fulfillment of the payment obligation. On the one hand, while debt with recourse assumed by any Group company can be demanded of its equityholders, debt without recourse, assumed solely within the scope of the concession businesses financed under project finance arrangements, is enforceable only as far as the company that took out the loan is concerned and, therefore, only the assets of that company answer for its payment.

The maturity structure of the debt is suited to the characteristics of the assets it finances, with a focus on long-term maturities so as to meet, above all, the Group's investments of a permanent nature.

The origin of the capital requirements imposed on the Group externally may be legal or contractual or may be required for access to markets.

The main legal requirement is respect of capital is imposed by Article 35 of the Companies Code, which stipulates that the equity of a Company must be more than half the issued capital. At Mota-Engil Group there has been no ongoing failure to comply with this rule in that, in those cases where compliance might be temporarily called into question, those measures seen to be most adequate are immediately applied.

Capital requirements imposed contractually mainly involve financing contracts with banks. In more relevant financing transactions, covenants are sometimes established that are linked with ratios that relate the capital structure with the Group's operating profitability. These contractual clauses are defined in the light of negotiations with the financing entities and, throughout the history of the Group, there has been no case of breach of such contracts.

A large part of the business carried on by the Mota-Engil Group is undertaken in close co-operation with the public sectors of those countries in which it is involved. Both in the construction of public works and in obtaining construction, operating and maintenance licences for public infrastructures, the Group faces conditions of access to these markets that are subject to strict regulations and supervision. Some of the conditions of access to these

markets require that the bidder has proven financial capacity and robustness, without which it will be excluded. The Mota-Engil Group is particularly concerned as to compliance with the requirements usually imposed in this field and, indeed, it has been able to turn this aspect into one of its strong points when compared to its main competitors. This is a competitive advantage compared to its rival bidders in major national and international projects.

xxix) Financial risk management

The Group's management of the financial risks that it incurs is set out in Chapter 5 of the management report included in this Report and Accounts.

2. Companies included in the consolidation

As at December 31, 2009, the companies included in the consolidation and the respective consolidation methods, registered offices, business, proportion of issued capital held, date of incorporation and date of acquisition of the equityholdings are as listed in Appendix A.

The main alterations to the consolidation perimeter during 2010 are detailed in Note 36. Variation of perimeter.

3. Sales & services rendered

The breakdown of sales and services rendered during the years to December 31, 2010 & 2009 is as follows:

2010 2009
restated
2009
Sales of merchandise 41,051,593 58,407,245 70,199,023
Sales of products 80,339,491 84,783,837 96,014,279

2,004,550,902 1,978,732,739 2,131,244,582

During 2010 and 2009 there was no discontinuation of the businesses of the Group.

4. Business segments

The Group makes use of its in-house organisation for management purposes as the basis for reporting information by operational segments.

The Group is organised as two main business areas Engineering & Construction and Environment & Services which are co-ordinated and supported by Mota-Engil SGPS and by MESP.

The Engineering & Construction segment includes construction activities, public works and property development.

The Environment & Services segment basically covers the companies engaged in solid urban waste collection and treatment, the water and basic sanitation companies, and the port operations companies.

The figures in respect of Mota-Engil SGPS, MESP and the Group companies in the Tourism area are included under "Other, eliminations & intra-group" which also includes sums in respect of inter-operational segment flows and balances.

During 2010, the Group altered the method of consolidation of its financial interests in several joint arrangements, which are not consolidated using the equity method (rather than the proportional method). This alteration caused greater impact on the transport-infrastructure concessionaire companies that lie within the scope of the Ascendi projects (the partnership with the Banco Espírito Santo (BES) Group that are therefore considered joint arrangements). Under these circumstances, and since the balance sheets and income statements of these companies are no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group using the proportional method, the Transport Concessions area is no longer a reportable area.

The financial information by operating segment is broken down as follows:

As at December 31, 2010, sales and services rendered between business segments are carried under "Other, eliminations and intra-group", and are immaterial.

Gains/(losses) on associate companies during 2010 are essentially caused by the effect of the application of the equity method to the financial investment in Martifer, SGPS, SA, and in Ascendi Group, SGPS, SA..

During the years ended December 31, 2010 & 2009, intra-group sales were undertaken at prices similar to those used for sales to external companies.

The breakdown of the Group's total net assets and liabilities of by primary segments is as follows:

During 2010, in the wake of the concentration process of highway concessions in Ascendi Group, that led to the share equity dilution of this company, Mota-Engil Group reclassified in the income statements the proportional share (40%) of the gains and losses recorded in earlier years as other comprehensive income, mainly from fair-value reserve and currency-translation differences. The effect of this reclassification on the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to €€17,394,209.

In those cases that gave rise to deferred tax assets, they were only recorded to the extent that it was probable that there would be taxable profits in the future that could be used to recoup tax losses or deductible taxable differences. This valuation was based on the business plans of the Group companies, periodically reviewed and updated, and on the tax planning opportunities available and identified.

As at December 31, 2010, there were tax losses brought forward in the sum of €€112,527,014, and the respective deferred tax assets have not been recorded for a matter of prudence.

Since January 2010 MOTA-ENGIL is covered by the special taxation regime for groups of companies , and therefore the current tax is calculated on the basis of the taxable profits of the companies included in the consolidation and in the special mechanism, in keeping with its rules.

The includes all companies in which there is a direct or indirect holding of at least 90% of the equity capital, are resident in Portugal and are taxed under Corporate Income Tax.

For companies not covered by the special taxation mechanism, current tax is calculated in the basis of their taxable profits, in accordance with the tax rules in force at the place of each company's registered office.

As from January 1, 2007, municipalities may determine an annual surcharge up to a maximum of 1.5% of the taxable profit subject to and not exempt from IRC (corporate income tax). This provision means that the tax rate used to calculate deferred tax on possible tax losses that can be carried forward is 25%, while 26.5% was used for other temporary differences generated by recognition of the tax on the year's profit.

Following publication of Act 12-A/2010 of June 30, a state surcharge was introduced, to be paid by all taxpayers that, in 2010, and future years generate a taxable profit subject to and not exempt from IRC of more than €€2,000,000. The state surcharge is 2.5% of that part of the taxable profit in excess of the said limit.

This provision means that the tax rate used in 2010 to calculated deferred taxes, with the exception of possible tax losses carried forward, and in recognition of the income tax for the period was 29%.

As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, reconciliation between the nominal and real income tax rates was as follows:

Rate Tax base Tax
Nominal rate & tax on income 26.50% 88,324,605 23,406,020
Results of associates using the equity method -2.25% (7,506,187) (1,989,140)
Tax losses of 2010 for which no deferred tax assets were recognised 6.59% 21,970,146 5,822,089
Reversal of losses carried forward 3.19% 11,270,145 2,817,536
Differentiated tax rates -8.13% (17,108,955) (7,183,873)
Autonomous taxation & other costs (other than provisions), non fiscal & non revertible 3.13% 10,418,013 2,760,773
Other adjustments -7.55% (25,070,249) (6,665,489)
Real rate & tax on income 21.5% - 18,967,917

In accordance with prevailing legislation, tax returns are subject to revision and correction by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except in the event of tax losses, of tax benefits granted, or if inspections, claims or contestations are in progress, in which case, depending on the circumstances, the deadlines are increased or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns for 2007 to 2010 may still be subject to review. The Group's board of directors is of the opinion that any corrections arising from different interpretations of prevailing legislation by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the attached consolidated financial statements.

As corroborated by our lawyers and tax consultants, there are no material assets or liabilities associated with probable or possible tax contingencies that ought to be disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2010.

14. Dividends

The Individual Management Report contains the following proposal: the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, proposes to the Annual General Meeting the following appropriation of the Net Profit for the year in the sum of €€104,429,791:

a) to legal reserve 5% or €€5,221,489.55.

b) for distribution to the Board of Directors under the terms of article 27.3 of the articles of association, the sum of €€700,000, or about 0.67%.

c) for distribution to equityholders, a total of €€22,509,926.45, or €0.11 cents per share, subject to tax.

d) to free reserves, the remainder, or €€75,998,375.

On April 30, 2010, a start was made to payment of the dividend of €€0.11 per share in respect of fiscal 2009, a total of €€22,509,926.45 having been paid.

On May 15, 2009, a start was made to payment of the dividend of €€0.11 per share in respect of fiscal 2008, a total of €€22,509,926.45 having been paid.

15. Earnings per share

The Company has issued only ordinary shares, and there are therefore no special dividend or voting rights. There is no situation within the Group that could constitute a reduction of earnings per share caused by options, warrants, convertible bonds or other rights linked to ordinary shares.

There is therefore no dissimilarity between the calculation of basic earnings per share and of diluted earnings per share.

No ordinary shares were issued during 2010 and 2009. The average number of ordinary shares during these years was affected only by the number of treasury shares as detailed in Note 25. Issued capital and reserves.

Determination of earnings per share in 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

2010 2009

The acquisitions referred to above were recorded using the purchase method and cash was paid in consideration of their acquisition. The Group did not sell, as a result of these acquisitions, any of the operations undertaken by the companies that were bought.

The Group performs yearly impairment tests on goodwill as determined by Indent i) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies. As at December 31, 2010, the methods and assumptions used to assess the existence or otherwise of impairment in respect of the main figures for goodwill carried in the attached financial statements were as follows:

Suma Group Mota-Engil
Central Europe
Poland
Tertir Group
Net value of goodwill 14,140,645 3,379,103 100,681,422
Method used Value in use Value in use Value in use
Basis used Forecasts Forecasts Business plans
Period used 5 years 5 years Useful life
Growth rate of cash-flows
Year n+1 2.00% 5.00% n.a
Year n+3 2.00% 5.00% n.a
Growth rate of cash-flows in perpetuity 1.00% 3.00% n.a
Discount rate used 7.40% 9.60% 6.00%

During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Group records acquisition differences in accordance with the alterations introduced by IFRS 3.

The value in use is equal to the estimated present value of future cash flows, the latter being computed on the basis of budgets and business plans approved by the Group encompass, on average, a five year horizon. Cash-Flow projections beyond five years are extrapolated using a fixed growth rate in perpetuity that does not exceed the company

The differences between the acquisition price of the financial investments in Group subsidiaries, accrued of the minority interests, and the fair value of assets and liabilities identifiable on the acquisition date of those companies, revaluation of its discharge, are directly booked on income statement.

The main assumptions used in the computation of the value in use

, etc.. The quantification of the above mentioned prospects was based on historical data and in accordance with the Group experience. Notwithstanding, these assumptions might be affected by political, economic or legal events that are unpredictable as of today.

Acquisitions of share in already controlled companies and disposals of share in companies without losing management control are treated as transactions equityholders will only affect Equity without impact in neither heading or net profit.

Acquisitions of financial holdings during 2010 consolidated using the full consolidation method did not have a material impact on the Group's Assets, Liabilities, Costs and Income and were not therefore disclosed.

The process of assigning fair value to the assets and liabilities acquired as a result of business combinations occurring in 2010 has not yet been concluded. Therefore, the resultant acquisition differences have been recognised under Goodwill. The Group will conclude this process in 2011.

The Mota-Engil Group materially significant financial holding between December 31, 2010, and the date of approval of these financial statements.

As at December 31, 2010, Concession operating licenses essentially refers to the accounting in accordance with IFRIC 12 of the rights to operate water/sewerage concessions and port concessions.

Changes occurred in this account are also related to the adoption of the IFRIC 12 standard.

The more significant amounts included under Intangible assets in progress refer to the following projects:

Description Value
Widening works extensions for water supply / sanitation 11,567,241
Construction of the New Water Containers (Peru) 1,982,043
Site Sograin - NSRF Project 983,555
13,549,284

Application of this Interpretation has introduced several alterations to the provisions and interpretation of the standards previously in force, whose impact on the financial statements of the Group's concessionaire companies occurred mainly: (i) in the reclassification to intangible fixed assets of a part of the fixed assets under concession in which the Group's concessionaire companies had and have an operating right in respect thereof and in which they assume the risk inherent in the demand of the operation (intangible model): port concessions and water & sewerage concessions.

Owing to the application of this standard the Mota-Engil Group restated in its consolidated accounts the opening balances of assets, liabilities, costs and income.

Concession operating licenses are being written down over the life of the concession in question.

Gauging the existence or otherwise of impairment in respect of the main amounts of assets under concession is performed using the Business Plans of the companies in question, as mentioned in Note 16 Goodwill in respect of impairment tests on goodwill.

The valuation criteria established by the Group for valuation of these intangible fixed assets are detailed in Indent ii) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

As at December 31, 2009 & 2010, the amount that would have been recognised had the assets been booked in accordance with the cost model is as follows:

As at December 31, 2010, the amount carried as revaluations under Land & buildings is essentially warranted by the revaluation to fair value of the land assigned to quarrying operations.

The amount carried under change in perimeter relates almost exclusively to Bergamon that as of December 31, 2010, is accounted for using the full consolidation method.

As at December 31, 2010, the amount carried under Transfers and other movements is essentially in respect of transfers of tangible assets either to Investment properties or to Available-for-sale non-current assets.

The more significant amounts included under Tangible assets in progress refer to the following projects:

Description Value
Acquisition of fixed assets (Mota-Engil Engenharia) 3,103,440
Facilities of Vilar de Andorinho -Plot and works in progress (Suma) 1,665,939
Works to improve the rail infrastructure (Takargo) 917,456
Major repairs (Mota-Engil Engenharia) 595,714
Other requalification works (Others) 507,281
6,789,830

The valuation criteria adopted, the depreciation rates used and the residual values determined are detailed in Indents iii), iv) and v) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

As at December 31, 2010, the sum of €€51,294,089, net of depreciation, carried under "Land & buildings" is in respect of quarry operations. To obtain the fair value of the quarries several factors are taken into account, such as the area under license, the operating capacity, the costs of landscape recovery and the residual value of the land after the quarry is shut down. Additional information on the exploitation of the Group's mineral resources can be found in Note 34. Exploitation of mineral resources.

Land and buildings are carried at their market value. The valuation method used by the real-estate valuers (Luso-Roux) to determine the fair value of the Group's properties is the depreciated replacement cost method, the valuations having been performed in keeping with international valuation standards.

The fair value of the properties does not include any tax or costs that must be incurred by the buyer with the purchase of the property and it was determined, as far as land is concerned, taking into account the market price for similar assets and, in the case of buildings, their actual construction cost. The location, accesses, size and form of the properties were also taken into account in the determination of their fair value.

The amount that would have been recognised had the assets been booked in accordance with the cost model is as follows:

During 2010, some measures agreed upon at the Business Cooperation Agreement as of 2006 between Mota-Engil Group and Espírito Santo Group for a joint venture for the Concessions Transportation activity was implemented.

Although the partnership included the incorporation of a new company, financial stakes of the aforementioned groups ended up being integrated in Mota-Engil Concessões de Transportes, SGPS, S.A. (currently denominated Ascendi Group, SGPS).

The transfer of the above mentioned stakes took place in August 24th, 2010 through a share capital increase of Ascendi Group .

The transfer of the remaining financial stakes should occur during 2011. In light of the mentioned Business Cooperation Agreement and, in accordance with agreed equity holders agreement these concessionaires are jointly managed. As a result, although owning 60% of Ascendi Group SGPS, Mota-Engil Group treats it as a joint arrangement. As mentioned in Note 1, financial interests owned by the group in joint arrangements are equity consolidated.

The valuation criteria established by the Group for valuation of these investment properties are detailed in Indent vii) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies.

Investment properties located in Portugal, Poland and the Czech Republic are carried at their market value in keeping with independent valuations, on the basis of recent market transactions involving similar properties.

Investment properties located in Portugal are for rent, while those located in Poland and Czech Republic are intended to obtain capital gains in the medium to long term.

located in Portugal transferred from Inventories (see Note 5), of which the Group signed with a third party a provisional contract to rent it. it is still at the final construction stage.

However, it is important to mention that the referred building did not generated yet rents in 2010, since it is still on construction phase.

In 2009 the properties located in Angola that had been rented out and were therefore carried under Investment properties came to be used for the business of the Branch and, for this reason, were transferred to Tangible fixed assets.

The variations to the perimeter in 2009 are justified by the acquisition of subsidiary Kilinskiego and by the assignment of fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities to this heading.

As at December 31, 2009, the investment properties held by the Group were as follows: i) the Jeremiasova Land/property (Czech Republic); ii) the Kilinskiego Land/property (Poland); and iii) the Modadomus commercial condominium (Portugal).

The gains obtained by the Group in respect of the rents on its investment properties amounted, in 2010, to €€€415,945 (2009: €326,600).

The valuations were performed taking into account the following valuation methods: (i) comparative market method (land/properties in the Czech Republic and Poland), in which the market values of the land/ properties were determined by comparison with other similar ones the market prices of which are known; and (ii) the Income method (Modadomus commercial condominium and Báltico Building), using for the purpose the method of capitalisation of expected future rents. In the valuations the following international and European standards were followed, issued by the IVSC (International Valuation Standards Committee) and by TEGoVA in the Approved European Property Valuation Standards.

The Group's exposure to credit risk is largely on account of receivables in respect of its operating activity. Accumulated impairment losses have been estimated by the Group in accordance with its experience and on the basis of its evaluation of the economy and of the economic surroundings.

The board of directors is of the conviction that the value at which these assets are carried in the balance sheet approaches their fair value.

The Group charges no interest as long as the established payment periods are being met. Following the payment deadlines, interest is charged as defined in the contracts and in accordance with the law, as applicable to each particular case.

As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, the age of commercial balances relating to financial assets that were not impaired is as follows:

As at December 31, 2010, the Group's net exposure to accumulated impairment losses to balances having an age of more than 1 year is essentially the result of confirmed debts of public entities (local government, regional government, etc.), of amounts withheld by customers by way of warranty and of customer balances covered by debtsettlement agreements, the understanding of the Group's board of directors being that these receivables are not impaired.

Impairment loss adjustments to receivables are recorded where there are objective indicators that the Group will not receive all the sums to which it was entitled in keeping with the original terms of the contracts entered into. The adjustments are calculated considering the analysis of the age of the receivables, the debtor's risk profile and their financial conditions.

As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, the breakdown of the balances of the State & other public entities is as follows:

2010 2009 restated 2009

Closing balance 11,005,456 2.06 22,626,521

Acquisitions of treasury shares during 2010 were carried out by the Group's board of directors which, in the belief that the capital market was undervaluing the Mota-Engil SGPS shares on those dates, decided to increase the treasury share portfolio that the Company already held, signaling to the capital market, by this means, too, the board of directors' confidence in the future of the Group.

These acquisitions had due regard at all times for the legal limits and they were also communicated to the market to the extent required by the regulations and in keeping with the deadlines established by the capital market regulator (CMVM).

Reserves:

Issue premiums

Share issue premiums correspond to the premiums obtained via equity capital issues or increases. In accordance with the Portuguese Companies Code, the amounts included under this must follow the requirements established for the

"Legal reserve", that is, the amounts cannot be distributed, except in winding-up procedures, though they may be used to absorb losses, after all other reserves have been exhausted, and may be incorporated into the issued capital. Legal reserve

Portuguese company law stipulates that at least 5% of the net profit for the year has to be assigned to increasing the legal reserve until such time as it equals at least 20% of the issued capital. This reserve cannot be distributed except in case of winding up, though it may be used to cover losses after all other reserves have been exhausted, and to be incorporated into the issued capital.

Fair value reserve derivatives

Fair-value reserve derivatives reflects the variations of the fair value of cash-flow hedges that are considered effective (Note 27 Derivative financial instruments) and it cannot be distributed or used to cover losses.

Fair value reserve Available-for-sale investments

The Fair value reserve Available-for-sale investments reflects variations to the fair value of held-for-sale financial instruments and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.

Currency translation reserve

Currency-translation reserves reflect currency fluctuations in transposing the financial statements of affiliates expressed in currencies other than the euro and cannot be distributed or used to absorb losses.

Revaluation reserves

Revaluation reserves cannot be distributed to equityholders, unless the revalued assets have been fully written down or sold.

Under Portuguese legislation, the amount of reserves that can be distributed is determined in accordance with the individual financial statements of the Company, presented in accordance with the Accounting Standardisation System (SNC). There were no reserves that could be distributed as at December 31, 2010.

32. Retirement Plan Benefits

The Group has assumed defined-benefit retirement plan liabilities for several former and some present employees. The accounting policies in respect of these plans adopted by the Group are described in Indent xx) of the Main valuation criteria in Note 1. Accounting Policies

As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, the liabilities for pensioners and those for personnel in service are almost all related with Mota-Engil Engenharia e Construção, SA, (€€8,936,770 and€€10,256,214 respectively), the sums of €414,622 and €€418,283 respectively being in respect of other companies.

As at December 31, 2010 & 2009, liabilities towards pensioners and towards staff in service at Mota-Engil

Engenharia, and their respective cover, are as follows:

2010 2009 restated 2009
Liabilities to pensioners 1,458,253 1,698,852 1,698,852
Liabilities to personnel in service 7,478,245 8,557,363 8,557,363

% of cover 100% 100% 100%

The change during the year is underpinned by an actuarial report that was ordered for the purpose and was essentially due to the following alterations of assumptions: (i) the fund's rate of return increased from 4% to 4.5% in that at this time the rates of return expected in the long term used by the pension funds market, and also the recommendations of the international accounting standards, stand at around 5%; (ii) the same applies to the pension-update rate, though the increase here was from 3% to 4% (since there is no financing vehicle for these liabilities, the recommendation is that it remain at 4%); (iii) the wage growth rate has fallen from 3% to 2% in that the wage history used for the actuarial valuation has grown by less than 3%.

Liabilities for defined-benefit pension plans are using the actuarial and financial assumptions best suited to the plan in question.

The latest actuarial study available, referred to December 31, 2010, based on the following assumptions:

Retirement age 65
Expected wage increase rate 2%
Discount rate 4%
Mortality tables TV 88_90
Pension growth rate 4%
Number of payments of the benefit 14

39. Non-current assets held for sale

On December 31, 2010, the Group decided to classify under this heading a non-operational plot of land (belonging to the Environment & Services segment) the value of which will be recouped through its sale and not through ongoing use thereof.

Though it has not proved possible, in 2010, to undertake the disposal, the parties (buyer and seller) still intend to carry out the transaction, which is merely awaiting some legal and administrative procedures.

Additionally, given that the fair value of the land less the expected costs to be incurred with the sale is greater than its acquisition cost, the property is carried at cost.

40. Subsequent events

The main subsequent events occurring in 2010 up to the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements are summarised in Chapter 10 effect on the attached financial statements.

41. Approval of the financial statements

These financial statements were approved by the board of directors of the Group on March 14, 2011. However, they are still pending approval by the Annual General Meeting, although the Group's board of directors is of the conviction that they will be approved without alteration.

significance of such deals and the other conditions shall be established by the supervisory body.
Not complied 0.4 and III.13

0.3 Overall assessment of the degree of adoption of groups of recommendations interrelated by their theme.

Mota-Engil considers that, although it does not comply fully with the CMVM recommendations, as fully justified in the following chapters, the degree of their adoption is quite ample and complete.

0.4 Explanation of discrepancies between the company's governance practices and the CMVM recommendations:

I.4.1 Companies shall not fix a quorum for resolutions greater than provided for by law.

The Mota-Engil articles of association stipulate that for the general meeting to meet and adopt resolutions on first call equityholders must be present or represented who hold at least half of the issued capital. Since Article 383 of the Companies Code is less restrictive, this recommendation is not complied with. The understanding of Mota-Engil is that this model is the one that best defends corporate interests.

II.1.1.5 Management and supervisory bodies shall have working regulations that shall be divulged via the company's Internet site.

The Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, management and supervisory bodies have in-house working regulations, though they are not published on the company's Internet site and are not available for consultation. The understanding of Mota-Engil is that the regulations go beyond aspects of the mere working of the bodies and contain confidential information, for which reason they are not available to the public.

II.1.2.2 Non-executive directors shall include an adequate number of independent directors, taking into account the size of the company and its equityholder structure, though not less than one fourth of the total number of directors.

Of the eight non-executive members of the Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, Board of Directors only three are qualified as independent directors, and these account for 20% of the total number of members of the management body. Although this recommendation is not complied with, Mota-Engil, taking into account the size of the company and its equityholder structure, considers that the number of independent directors is adequate.

II.1.3.2 The selection process of candidates for non-executive directorship shall be so conceived as to prevent interference by executive directors.

Taking the company's size and its equityholder structure into account no need is seen for a formal process of selection of candidates for non-executive directorship. Candidates for non-executive directorships are elected by the General Meeting. At the elective general meetings that have been held, the names included in the lists for election of corporate officers, particularly with regard to the management body and its non-executive members, have been proposed by the equityholders constituting the signatories thereof, and the executive directors do not take part the non-executive director selection process.

II.1.5.1 Remuneration of the members of the management body shall be so structured as to allow the alignment of their interests with those of the company.

The recommendation is not complied with insofar as the following indents are concerned. Notwithstanding this non-compliance, Mota-Engil considers that the objective of alignment of the interests of the members of the management body with those of the company have not been called into question.

(ii) the variable component of the remuneration shall be generally reasonable in relation to the fixed component of the remuneration and maximum limits shall be fixed for all components.

Although the articles of association fix the variable remuneration of the Board of Directors only in general terms, which cannot exceed five per cent of the year's profit, the Remuneration Committee considers that the variable component attributed to the members of the Executive Committee have been reasonable, taken as a whole, in relation to the fixed component of the remuneration.

(iii) a significant part of the variable remuneration shall be deferred for a period of no less than three years and its payment shall depend on the continuity of the good performance of the company over that period.

There is no deferral of the payment of the variable remuneration and the Remuneration Committee seeks to structure the remuneration of the members of the management body to allow the continuation of the good performance of the company in the long term.

(iv) members of the management body shall not close contracts either with the company or with third parties, the effect of which is to mitigate the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration fixed for them by the company.

There is no mechanism preventing the executive directors from closing contracts calling into question the reason for the variable remuneration. Nevertheless, the Remuneration Committee always takes this factor into consideration in the criteria used to determine the variable remuneration.

(vii) adequate legal instruments shall be established so that the compensation determined for any form of dismissal without due causes of a director is not paid if the dismissal or termination by agreement is dues to the inadequate performance of such a director.

There are no instruments, other than those enshrined the law that allow non-payment of compensation in the event of inadequate performance of the director in cases of dismissal with due cause or termination by agreement.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

(viii) the remuneration of the non-executive members of the management body shall include no component the amount of which is dependent on the performance or value of the company.

The remuneration of non-executive directors includes variable components. Mota-Engil's understanding is that, besides rewarding the long-term strategy undertaken by the entire Board of Directors, including the nonexecutive directors, this does not disparage their non-executive function.

II.2.5 The company shall explain its rotation policy in respect the responsibilities of the members of the board of directors, particularly the member responsible for financial matters, and shall provide information thereon in the annual report on corporate governance.

There is no rotation policy for the Posts of the members of the Board of Directors (Executive Committee), in particular for the director responsible for financial matters. Mota-Engil's understanding is that a rigid, abstract job-rotation policy would not serve its best interests. Therefore, the posts are decided and assigned by the Executive Committee at the start of the term of office in keeping with the capabilities, qualifications and professional experience of each member, It is not believed that all directors are able to perform every function with the same capabilities and performance.

II.4.6 The internal audit services and those that ensure compliance with the rules applied to the company (compliance services) shall report functionally to the audit committee, the general and supervisory board or, in the case of companies that adopt the Latin model, an independent director or board of auditors, regardless of the hierarchic relationship between such services and the company's executive management.

The internal audit services (Audit & Risk Office) report functionally to the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee. This committee normally comprises three permanent members (a non-executive director, the chairman, an independent non-executive director and the CFO). Although it does not report functionally to an independent director or to the Board of Auditors, it is considered that the independence of this office in respect of the executive committee is ensured.

II.5.1 Save for reasons to do with the small size of the company, the board of directors and the general and supervisory board, depending on the model adopted, shall create such committees as may be seen to be necessary to: i) ensure competent, independent assessment of the performance of the executive directors and to assess its own overall performance as well as that of the various existing committees; ii) reflect on the governance system adopted, verifying its efficacy and proposing to the proper bodies those measures to be implemented with a view to their improvement; and iii) ensure timely identification of potential candidates having the necessary profile to perform the duties of a director.

The recommended committees were not set up in that they were not seen to be necessary.

II.5.2 The members of the remuneration committee or similar body shall be independent with regard to the members of the management body and shall include at least one member having knowledge of and experience in remuneration-policy matters.

António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (chairman and non-executive member of the Board of Directors) and Maria Teresa Queirós Vasconcelos Mota Neves da Costa (non-executive member of the Board of Directors ) are members of the Remuneration Committee, having been elected to the position by the General meeting at the proposal of the majority equityholder Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, SA. Their participation in the Remuneration Committee corresponds solely to representation of the equityholder's interest, and they intervene in this capacity and not in that of members of the management body. To ensure their independence in the performance of these duties, these members do not take party in any discussion of adoption of resolutions in which there is or could be a conflict of interests, particularly with regard to fixing their own remuneration as members of the management body. It is considered that, as a result of their curricula and professional careers (detailed in point II.18), the three members of the Remuneration Committee have knowledge and experience in the matter of remuneration policy. Additionally, as and where necessary, the Remuneration Committee is helped by in-house or external specialists to support their decisions in the matter of the remuneration policy.

III.1.3 Companies shall promote rotation of the auditor at the end of two or three terms of office, depending on whether the term is of four or three years. Grounds shall be provided for their continuation beyond this period in a specific opinion issued by the supervisory body, expressly weighing the auditor's conditions of independence and the advantages and costs of his replacement.

MOTA-ENGIL has neither defined nor implemented any policy of rotation of the external auditor. The Board of Directors considers that replacement of the partner responsible for the audit services every seven years (mandatory by law) in conjunction with the powers assigned to the Board of Auditors is sufficient to ensure the independence of the external auditor.

The maintenance of the auditor is based on the specific opinion of the supervisory body, expressly weighing the auditor's conditions of independence and the advantages and costs of his replacement.

III.1.5 The company shall not hire the external auditor or any entity in a participating relationship with it or that is part of the same network, to perform services other that auditing services. If there are reasons to hire such services - which must be approved by the supervisory body and explained in its annual report on Corporate Governance they must not exceed more than 30% of the total value of services provided to the company.

Even had the external auditor been hired to provide services other than auditing services of a value greater than 30% of the total value of the services provided to the company, as seen in point III.17 of this report, Mota-Engil believes that, in view of the existing mechanisms, its independence is ensured.

IV.1.2 Company deals of significant importance between equityholders with a qualified holding or with entities linked with them, under the Article 20 of the Securities Code, shall be subject to the prior opinion of the supervisory body. This body shall establish the procedures and criteria required to define the relevant level of significance of such deals and the other terms of its intervention.

Deals between the company and owners of qualified holdings or entities in any relationship therewith are appraised solely by the Executive Committee, on the basis of analysis and technical opinions issued by the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee (specialised committee). No procedures or criteria have been established in respect of intervention by the supervisory body. It should be mentioned, however, that transactions between directors of Mota-Engil, or with companies in a controlling or group relationship with the one of which the contracting party is a director, regardless of their value, are subject to the prior authorisation of the relevant Board of Directors and to the favourable opinion of the respective supervisory body, under Article 397 of the Companies Code.

The Board of Directors delegated on the Executive Committee all powers related with the management of the businesses of MOTA-ENGIL, SGPS, SA, and of all the subsidiaries, in the most restricted sense of taking tactical options and control of the various lines of development of the various businesses, assuming responsibility for the executive management of the Group's business in line with the orientations and policies defined by the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee may discuss all matters that are the responsibility of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to only being able to adopt resolutions on those matters delegated on it. All matters dealt with by the Executive Committee, even those included within the sphere of the powers delegated on it, are reported to the non-executive directors, who have access to the respective minutes of the meetings and supporting documents.

The Executive Committee meetings are held fortnightly and, at the start of each fiscal year, the meetings to be held during that year are scheduled. The chairman of the Executive Committee, through the Executive Committee Coordenation Office, sends to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and of the Board of Auditors notices of meetings and the respective minutes in good time.

All decisions in respect of the definition of the company's strategy as well as the company's general policies and the corporate structure of the Group are the sole responsibility of the Board of Directors, and no responsibilities are delegated on the Executive Committee in this connection.

The chairman of the Board of Directors has the responsibilities entrusted to him by law and by the articles of association.

With regard to the assignment of posts to the members of the Board of Directors, particularly within the scope of the Executive Committee, the following are underscored:

There is no rotation policy for the Posts of the members of the Board of Directors (Executive Committee), in particular for the director responsible for financial matters. Mota-Engil's understanding is that a rigid,

abstract job-rotation policy would not serve its best interests. Therefore, the posts are decided and assigned by the Executive Committee at the start of the term of office in keeping with the capabilities, qualifications and professional experience of each member, it is not believed that all directors are able to perform every function with the same capabilities and performance. Therefore, Mota-Engil understands that the rotation recommendation, made independently of any other circumstance, would not serve its interests properly. Notwithstanding this position of the Mota-Engil Group, a new CFO was appointed for the 2010-13 term of office, to replace the previous CFO (Eduardo Jorge de Almeida Rocha).

The non-executive directors monitor the business carried on by the Company, and their real powers of supervision, inspection and assessment of the business is ensured through the monthly meetings of the Board of Directors, without prejudice to access to such information or documentation as may be requested from time to time. In exercising their non-executive duties the directors were not faced with any constraints in 2010. The annual management report includes a description of the activity carried out by the non-executive directors.

In the wake of the resignation tendered by Manuel Teixeira Mendes on September 21, 2010, Pedro Manuel Seara Cardoso Perez, till then alternate member, became a full member. As a result, the Board of Auditors came to comprise just three full members, and it will be fully made up at the next General Meeting.

The various structures within the company are charged with their management and/or mitigation, with special emphasis in this field on the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee.

Having as its mission the support of the management of the Mota-Engil Group by means of strengthening the operating means and methods employed in internal control and in anticipating business risks, the Audit and Risk Committee has an Audit and Risk Office.

Characterisation of the Operational Process: Risk Management is the responsibility of each of the Boards of the Group's business areas, generally speaking involving the following sequential cyclic set of stages:

  • determination of the risks to which the organisation is exposed and of the level of tolerance of exposure to such risks;

  • risk measurement: quantification of risk exposures, and preparation of basic reports to support decision-taking;

  • risk control and management: definition of the measures to be taken in facing risks;

Additionally, all investments or new businesses are analysed for risks by the various corporate areas. They are subject to the prior opinion of the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee before being submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.

The evaluation of internal control and risk management systems allowed the assessment of effectiveness, whilst continuing to aim to implement measures to improve the short and medium term.

Only a very restricted number of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, collaborators is involved in the process of disclosing financial information. In this connection, and by legal imposition (Article 248.6 of the Securities Code), Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, has drawn up a list of its collaborators, with or without employment ties, who have regular or occasional access to privileges information.

  • Board of Directors - The General Meeting is charged with electing the directors (Article 391.1 of the Companies Code).

There is no rotation policy for the Posts of the members of the Board of Directors (Executive Committee), in particular for the director responsible for financial matters. Mota-Engil's understanding is that a rigid, abstract job-rotation policy would not serve its best interests. Therefore, the posts are decided and assigned by the Executive Committee at the start of the term of office in keeping with the capabilities, qualifications and professional experience of each member, It is not believed that all directors are able to perform every function with the same capabilities and performance.

  • Board of Auditors The General Meeting is charged with electing the Board of Auditors and its alternate member or members (Article 16.2 of the articles of association) the articles of association do not stipulate any specific mechanism concerning the replacement of members of the Board of Auditors, which therefore takes place in accordance with Article 415 of the Companies Code.

On December 31, 2010, the Board of Directors comprised 15 members, of whom seven were executive and eight non-executive, a composition that Mota-Engil considers appropriate to ensuring effective ability to supervise, monitor and appraise the activity of the members of the Executive Committee.

Of the eight non-executive directors only three are qualified as independent directors, and these account for 20% of the total number of members of the management body. Although the recommendation of the Companies Code is not complied with in the matter of the minimum number of independent directors, Mota-Engil, taking into account the size of the company and its equityholders structure, considers that the number of independent directors is adequate.

The independent directors take part in the majority of the Board of Directors meetings, thus monitoring the business of Mota-Engil, and they may question any other corporate office or internal structure of the Mota-Engil Group.

The Investment, Audit and Risk Committee comprises two executive directors and one independent nonexecutive director.

Candidates for non-executive directorships are elected by the General Meeting. At the elective general meetings that have been held, the names included in the lists for election of corporate officers, particularly with regard to the management body and its non-executive members, have been proposed by the equityholders constituting the signatories thereof, and the executive directors do not take part the the non-executive director selection process.

II.24 Reference to the fact that the Board of Auditors performs and annual assessment of the external auditor and of the possibility of proposing the dismissal of the auditor with due cause to the general meeting.

The Board of Auditors performs an annual assessment of the external auditor and is responsible for monitoring its qualifications and its independence. The law and the articles of association assign no competence to the General Meeting to appoint the external auditor, and for this reason there is no possibility that the dismissal of the auditor with due cause can be proposed to the General Meeting. In any case, to date, the Mota-Engil Board of Auditors has

seen no reason to consider taking measures to dismiss with due cause an entity that has performed duties as the company's external auditor.

The remuneration policy applicable to Mota-Engil managers in the acceptation of Article 248.3 of the Securities Code is detailed in the declaration of this matter submitted by the Board of Directors to the General Meeting for appraisal. At Mota-Engil there are no other workers whose professional activity could have a relevant impact on the company's risk profile and whose remuneration contains a major variable component.

II.30 Description of the remuneration policy of the management and supervisory bodies to which Article 2 of Act 28/2009 of July 19 refers.

As stipulated in the Article 2 of Act 28/2009 of July 19 a declaration is submitted for appraisal to the General Meeting in respect of the remuneration policy of the members of the respective management and supervisory bodies.

The present remuneration policy at MOTA-ENGIL, SGPS,SA as approved at the preceding general meeting, seeks to promote, a medium and long-term standpoint, the alignment of the interests of the directors with those of the company. It is primarily based on a fixed remuneration, with a variable component in the light of the results of the business and of the company's economic and financial situation.

The general principles to be observed in fixing remuneration as essentially the following:

a) Duties performed

Consideration must be given to the duties performed by each, in the widest sense of the activity that is actually undertaken, and to the inherent responsibilities, and not just in the formal sense. All directors will not be in the same position, nor will all the executive directors, and neither will the members of the board of auditors on occasion. The

reflection on the duties must be performed in its widest sense, and criteria must be taken into account as diverse as dedication or value added for the company, the time dedicated or the value added for the company resulting from a certain type of intervention or institutional representation. Likewise, this reflection must include consideration of the existence of duties performed at other controlled companies, which means, on the one hand, an increase of responsibilities and, on the other, a cumulative source of income.

b) the company's economic situation

Consideration has to be given to the company's economic situation, as well as to the company's interests from a long-term standpoint to the real growth of the company and creation of equityholder value.

c) General market conditions for similar situations

The definition of any remuneration must take into account the law of supply and demand, and corporate officers are no exception. Only due regard for market practices can retain professionals whose performance is appropriate to the complexity of the duties and responsibilities. The remuneration must be aligned with the market and be stimulating, acting as the means to achieve high individual and collective performance, safeguarding not only the interests of the individual but essentially those of the company and the creation of value for its equityholders.

The specific remuneration-policy options that we have submitted and approved at as follows:

  • The remuneration of the executive members and of the non-executive non-independent members of the Board of Directors shall comprise a fixed part and a variable part;
  • The remuneration of the non-executive independent members of the Board of Directors, of the members of the Board of Auditors and of the members of the Board of the General Meeting shall comprise solely a fixed part;
  • The fixed part of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors having executive duties as well as that of the non-executive non-independent members shall consist of a monthly sum payable fourteen times a year;
  • The monthly amount of the fixed part of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors shall be fixed for all those who are members of the Executive Committee and for those who, despite not belonging to this committee, are not considered independent;
  • A predetermined amount shall be fixed for each attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors for those members who are considered independent and have essentially non-executive duties;
  • The fixed remuneration of the members of the Board of Auditors and of the Board of the General Meeting shall all comprise a fixed sum payable twelve times a year;
  • The process of allocation of variable remuneration to the executive members of the Board of Directors shall follow the criteria proposed by the Remuneration Committee, taking into account the assessment of their performance, their position in the hierarchy, the company's long-term performance criteria and the real growth of the company and of the selected performance variables;
  • In fixing all remuneration, including also the distribution of the total amount of the variable remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, the foregoing general principles shall be observed: duties performed, situation of the company and market criteria.

With regard to the groups of companies whose recommended policies and practices were used as the element of comparison in fixing the remuneration, the Remuneration Committee takes into consideration, to the extent of the information that can be accessed, all Portuguese companies of an equivalent size, particularly those listed on the PSI-20, and also companies of other international markets having characteristics equivalent to those of the Mota-Engil Group.

The Remuneration Committee has not established any agreements as to payments by Mota-Engil in respect of dismissal or termination of duties as directors by mutual agreement.

II.31 Indication of the annual amount of the remuneration earned individually by the members of the management and supervisory boards, including fixed and variable remuneration and, in respect of the latter, indication of the various components giving rise thereto, the part that is deferred and the part already paid.

The variation during the period is underpinned by an actuarial report ordered for the purpose and is essentially due to the following alterations to the assumptions: (i) the rate of return of the fund increased from 4% to 4.5% in that the rates of return now expected for the long term used in the pension-fund market, also at the recommendation of the international accounting standards, are around 5%; (ii) this also applies to the pension-update rate, though this has increased only from 3% to 4% (as there is no funding vehicle for these liabilities, the recommendation is that it be kept at 4%); (iii) the wage growth rate fell from 3% to 2% since the wage-history used in the actuarial valuation has grown by less than 3%.

Liabilities for definedusing the actuarial and financial assumptions best suited to the plan in question.

II.32 Information as to the way in which the remuneration is so structured as to allow an alignment of the interests of the members of the management body with the company's long-term interests, as well as as to the way it is based on the appraisal of the performance and discourages excessive risk-taking.

Even though no formal mechanism exists to align the interests of the members of the management body with the company's long-term interests, particularly through deferral of the variable remuneration, the Remuneration Committee endeavours to so structure the remuneration of the members of the management body as to allow the medium and long-term alignment with the company's interests.

II.33 With regard to the remuneration of executive directors:

a) Reference to the fact that the remuneration of the executive directors includes a variable component and information on the way in which this component is dependent on performance assessment.

The remuneration policy for the executive members of the company's Board of Directors involves a plan consisting of: (i) a fixed component defined in the light of the levels of responsibility of each executive director, reviewed annually, which includes the basic gross remuneration paid in respect of the period of one year; and (ii) a variable component paid the following year by way of performance bonus, taking into account the evolution of his performance based on criteria defined and reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee, which considers the real growth of the company and the wealth actually created for the equityholders, its long-term sustainability and the risks assumed, as well as compliance with the rules applicable to the company's business.

The variable component is allocated each year and the Remuneration Committee is charged with the constant monitoring and assessing of the performance of the directors, verifying the extent to which the proposed targets were

actually met.

b) Indication of the company's bodies competent to perform the evaluation of the performance of the executive directors.

The evaluation of the performance of the Executive Directors is performed by the Remuneration Committee.

c) Indication of predetermined criteria for the evaluation of the performance of the executive directors.

The criteria established for the evaluation of the performance of the executive directors are general and are enshrined in the remuneration policy approved by the General Meeting, and there are no predetermined, objective criteria governing this matter.

d) Explanation of the relative importance of the variable and fixed components of the director's remuneration, as well as indication of the maximum limits for each component.

The variable components of the remuneration of the executive directors takes into account the company's performance in the short and medium term, as well as the benchmarking in comparison with other companies of similar size in similar business.

Although the articles of association fix the variable remuneration of the Board of Directors only in general terms, which cannot exceed five per cent of the year's profit, the Remuneration Committee considers that the variable component attributed to the members of the Executive Committee have been reasonable, taken as a whole, in relation to the fixed component of the remuneration.

e) Indication of the deferral of payment of the variable component of the remuneration, stating the period of deferral.

There is no deferral of the payment of the said variable remuneration.

f) Explanation of the way in which the variable remuneration is subject to continuity of the company's good performance over the period of deferral.

Not applicable, without prejudice to the comments set out in point II.32

g) Sufficient information on the criteria on which the attribution of variable remuneration in shares is based, as well as on the maintenance by executive directors of the shares in the company that they have accesses, on the close of any contracts relating to such shares, particularly hedging or risk-transfer contracts, their limits and their ration as a proportion of the total annual remuneration.

The company neither has nor has planned any remuneration scheme involving the award of shares and/or any incentive scheme involving shares.

h) Sufficient information on the criteria on which the attribution of variable remuneration in options is based and indication of the period of deferral and of the exercise price.

The company neither has nor has planned any remuneration scheme involving the award of stock-option rights.

i) Identification of the main parameters and grounds of any annual bonus scheme and of any other non-pecuniary benefits.

The company has no annual bonus scheme or other non-pecuniary benefits.

j) Remuneration paid in the form of profit sharing and/or payment of bonuses and the reason why such bonuses and/or profit sharing were granted.

Remuneration paid in the form of profit sharing and/or payment of bonuses is detailed in point II.31 and is part of the variable component, by way of performance bonus, taking into account the evolution of the directors' performance in the light of the proposed objectives.

l) Indemnities paid or owed to former executive directors in respect of termination of their duties during the year.

During 2010 an indemnity was paid to former director Eduardo Jorge de Almeida Rocha on termination of office, in the sum of €880,000.

m) Reference to the contractual limitation stipulated for the compensation payable for dismissal of a director without due cause and its relationship with the variable component of the remuneration.

There are no contractual limits to the compensation payable for dismissals of a director without due cause other than as provided for by law.

n) Amounts were paid for any reason whatsoever by other companies in a controlling of group relationship.

During 2010 no sums were paid to executive directors (or to non-executive directors) of Mota-Engil by companies in a controlling or group relationship other than those divulged in point II.31.

o) Description of the main characteristics of the complementary pension or early-retirement schemes for the directors, stating whether they were or were not subject to appraisal by the General Meeting.

Some directors (founder-equityholders) benefit from a defined-benefit pension plan, which allows the beneficiaries to obtain a pension of 80% of the salary earned on retirement. It should be mentioned that this plan was in force prior to the admission to listing of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, on the stock market.

p) Estimate of the value of relevant non-pecuniary benefits considered as remuneration not covered by the foregoing situations.

The company does not assign any relevant non-pecuniary benefits by way of remuneration.

q) Existence of mechanisms preventing the executive directors from closing contracts calling into question the reason for the variable remuneration.

There is no mechanism preventing the executive directors from closing contracts calling into question the reason for the variable remuneration. Nevertheless, the Remuneration Committee always takes this factor into consideration in the criteria used to determine the variable remuneration

II.34 Reference to the fact that the remuneration of non-executive directors does not include variable components.

The remuneration of non-executive directors includes variable components. Mota-Engil's understanding is that, besides rewarding the long-term strategy undertaken by the entire Board of Directors, including the non-executive directors, this does not disparage their non-executive function.

II.35 Information on the policy of communication of irregularities adopted by the company(means of communication, people entitled to receive the communications, treatment to be provided and indication of the persons and bodies able to access the information and their intervention in the procedure).

on procedures to be adopted in the matter of communication Group through an internal service order.

Through approval of these regulations, the Board of Directors of Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, wished to encourage internal communication of irregular practices so as to prevent or repress irregularities, avoiding damages aggravated by ongoing irregular practices, while complying with the Securities Market Commission recommendations in this matter.

The regulations consider that irregular practices are all acts and omissions, fraudulent or negligent, performed within the scope of the business of the companies of the Mota-Engil Group that could impact on the financial statements or on other areas, damaging the assets and the good name of the Group, namely violation of any law, rule or regulation, practice of fraud, abuse of authority, bad management, waste of funds, damage to the health and safety of the workers and damage to the environment.

The Board of Auditors guarantees the confidentiality of the accusations and the anonymity of the author of communications of signs that irregularities have been committed, though the Mota-Engil, SGPS, SA, Board of Directors is kept informed. Where the signs of irregularities are communicated by workers of companies of the Mota-Engil Group the worker's rights cannot be affected by the fact. Persons falsely communicating irregular practices or communicating them in bad faith, as well as those infringing the duty of confidentiality may be subject to criminal proceedings and to disciplinary proceedings if they are Mota-Engil Group company employees.

The procedural stages of the irregularities communications system, the responsibility of the Board of Auditors, are as follows:

a) reception and registration;

  • b) preliminary appraisal and assessment of the consistency of the communication received;
  • c) investigation;
  • d) final report, with communication to the chairman of the Board of Directors.

The investigation process is undertaken by the Board of Auditors, assisted by the Investment, Audit and Risk Committee, which is competent to deal with matters not involving decisions. The Investment, Audit and Risk Committee may propose that external auditors or other specialists be hired to help in the investigation where the special nature of the matters in question so warrant.

By January 31 each year the Board of Auditors evaluates the activity undertaken the previous year and proposes such alterations as it may deem necessary to the improvement and perfecting of the irregular-practice communication system.

II.36 Identification of the members of committees set up for the purpose of assessment of the individual and overall performance of the executive directors, reflection as the the governance system adopted by the company and identification of potential candidates for the post of director.

Within the scope of the management and supervisory bodies no committees have been set up having specific competence in these matters.

II.37 Number of meetings of the committees set up having competence in the matter of management and supervision during the year in question, as well as reference to writing up of the minutes of such meetings.

Not applicable in the light of the explanation provided in the preceding number.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

II.38 Reference to the fact that a member of the remuneration committee has knowledge and experience in the matter of remuneration policy.

It is considered that, as a result of their curricula and professional careers (detailed in point II.18), the three members of the Remuneration Committee have knowledge and experience in the matter of remuneration policy. Additionally, as and where necessary, the Remuneration Committee is helped by in-house or external specialists to support their decisions in the matter of the remuneration policy.

II.39 Reference to the independence of natural or corporate persons taken on for the remuneration committee under employment or provision of services contract related with regard to the board of directors, as well as, as and where applicable, to the fact that such persons have an actual relationship with the company's consultant.

António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (chairman and non-executive member of the Board of Directors) and Maria Teresa Queirós Vasconcelos Mota Neves da Costa (non-executive member of the board of directors ) are members of the Remuneration Committee, having been elected to the position by the General meeting at the proposal of the majority equityholder Mota Gestão e Participações, SGPS, SA. Their participation in the Remuneration Committee corresponds solely to representation of the equityholder's interest, and they intervene in this capacity and not in that of members of the management body. To ensure their independence in the performance of these duties, these members do not take party in any discussion of adoption of resolutions in which there is or could be a conflict of interests, particularly with regard to fixing their own remuneration as members of the management body.

The year under review was marked by the serious crisis within the bond markets of the euro area, reflecting concern as to sovereign foreign-debt default by its peripheral countries (Southern Europe and Ireland). This crisis was the main factor conditioning the evolution of the other markets in Europe. Particularly as from the second quarter of the year there was unheard-of selectivity within the euro area, with investors making a clear distinction between those countries that have accumulated foreign debt as a result of major budget deficits and those where domestic demand has overheated.

During the third quarter, reacting to signs suggesting a fragile, though sustainable economy and to expectations that the North American Federal Reserve could recommence a policy of massive purchases of long-term financial instruments, injecting liquidity into the economy and allowing a reduction of long-term interest rates, the equity markets made a significant recovery. Nevertheless, this trend failed to eliminate uncertainties as to the ability of the Greek, Irish and, to a certain extent, Portuguese States to repay foreign public debt.

Within the context of a new paradigm in which investors in equities were increasingly seen to be more sensitive to company indebtedness and affected also by the uncertainties in the construction industry in Portugal, mainly in the public works sector, the Mota-Engil shares, especially following the sharp rise in 2009 (68%), were severely penalised and fell 55.7% during the year, to a market capitalisation of €356.7 million.

III.17 Indication of the amount of annual remuneration paid to the auditor and to other natural or corporate persons belonging to the same network supported by the company and/or by corporate persons in a controlling or group relationship, and also details of the percentage in respect of the following services: a) legal audit of the accounts; b) other reliability assurance services; c) tax consultancy services; d) other services other than legal audit of the accounts If the auditor provides any of the services described in indents c) and d), a description shall be provided of the means of safeguarding the auditor's independence. For the purpose of this information, the network concept is the one stemming from the European Commission Recommendation C (2002) 1873 of May 16.

During 2010, the annual remuneration paid by MOTA-ENGIL, SGPS, SA, and by other companies in a controlling or group relationship to the company's External Auditor (Deloitte & Associados, SROC, SA), including other entities belonging to the same network, amounted to €2,615,000, this payment having been broken down in respect of the provision of the following services:

Nature of the service Amount %
Audit and legal review of the accounts 909,000 35%
Other reliability assurance services 422,000 16%
Tax consultancy 130,000 5%
Other services 1,157,000 44%
TOTAL 2,615,000 100%

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

support in Human Resources area (€795,000) and to services rendered in IT systems (€280,000).

The tax consultancy services and other services are provided by specialists other than those involved in the audit process, and it its therefore considered that the auditor's independence is further heightened. In 2010, the fees paid by MOTA-ENGIL, in Portugal, to companies of the Deloitte network in Portugal account for less than 3% of Deloitte's total annual billing in Portugal. The External Auditor's quality system controls and monitors the potential risks of loss of independence or any conflicts of interest with MOTA-ENGIL. Additionally, a "Letter of Independence" is obtained from Deloitte in which it warrants compliance with the IFAC (International Federation of Accountants) international guidelines in the matter of auditor independence

Additionally, the Board of Auditors receives each year, under Article 62‐B of Decree‐Law 487/99 of November 16,as amended by Decree‐Law 224/2008 of November 20), the auditor's declaration of independence, in which a description is provided of the services provided by it and by other entities of the same network, the respective fees paid and any threats to its independence, as well as measures to safeguard against them. All treats to the auditor's independence are assessed and discussed with it, as are the respective safeguard measures.

Monitoring the activity of the External Auditor is undertaken by the Board of Auditors, which is also entrusted with proposing its election and appointment to the general meeting and with expressing an opinion in its independence and other relations with the Group. The Board of Auditors' internal regulations provide a procedure that subjects to its approval the services to be provided by the external auditor (including consultancy services), as well as its remuneration, and in this way, the committee is able to ensure that the conditions appropriate to the provision of the services are extant within the company. The Board of Auditors is also the company's interlocutor with the external auditor and the initial addressee of its reports.

III.18 Reference to the external auditor's rotation period.

Deloitte & Associados, SROC, SA, provides external auditing services to MOTA-ENGIL under provision of services contracts having a duration of 1 years as from 1992. In 2009, a new partner was appointed to orient or directly perform the said services (seven years after the previous replacement).

MOTA-ENGIL has neither defined nor implemented any policy of rotation of the external auditor. The Board of Directors considers that replacement of the partner responsible for the audit services every seven years (mandatory by law and according with the best practices of Deloitte worldwide and Deloitte & Associados, SROC,SA) in conjunction with the powers assigned to the Board of Auditors is sufficient to ensure the independence of the external auditor.

The maintenance of the auditor is based on the specific opinion of the supervisory body, expressly weighing the auditor's conditions of independence and the advantages and costs of his replacement.

Articles 324.2 and 66.5(c) of the Companies Code

Within the scope of the resolution adopted by the General Meeting in March 31, 2010, Mota-Engil SGPS, SA, acquired on the stock market 33,128 treasury shares during 2010, details of which are as follows:

Date N. shares Average price
(Euro/share)
Value (Euro)
09/Jun/2010 30,850 2.04 63,070.30
10/Jun/2010 2,278 2.03 4,624.34

As at December 31, 2010, Mota-Engil SGPS, SA held 11,005,456 treasury shares representing 5.38% of its issued capital.

Acquisitions of treasury shares during 2010 were carried out by the Group's board of directors which, in the belief that the capital market was undervaluing the Mota-Engil SGPS shares on those dates, decided to increase the treasury share portfolio that the Company already held, signalling to the capital market, by this means, too, the board of directors' confidence in the future of the Group.

These acquisitions had due regard at all times for the legal limits and they were also communicated to the market to the extent required by the regulations and in keeping with the deadlines established by the capital market regulator (CMVM).

Article 447 of the Companies Code and Article 14.7 of CMVM Regulation 5/2008

Disclosure of shares and other securities held by members of the Board of Directors and by managers, as well as by persons closely related to them under Article 248-B of the Securities Code, and of transactions thereon during the year.

  1. As mentioned in Note 1.1., the Group, with effect from 1 January 2010, changed the consolidation method of its financial interests in joint controlled companies from the proportional consolidated method followed till that date, to the equity method.

As a result of this change, the financial statements for the year 2009 were re-stated for comparative purposes, and in Note 1.1. is disclosed the total amount of assets and liabilities, as well the revenues and costs that are no longer consolidated in the accompanied financial statements as of 31 December 2009 and 2010.
