Consolidated Financial Statements

1st Half year 2010

INTRODUCTION

Sonae Sierra presented a Total Net Profit of € 648 thousand at the end of the first half of 2010, which compare with a net loss of €94.2 million in the homologous period of 2009.

The favourable change in the Total Net Profit was driven by a Value Created on properties much higher than the same period of last year due to the smaller increase in yields in 2010 in Europe. In the first half of 2010 the yields remain flat with the exception of Portugal, where the portfolio was again affected by a yield expansion.

On the basis of this methodology, the NAV of Sonae Sierra, as of June 2010, was €1.25 billion and this corresponds a €38.45 per share.

PROSPECTS

The current situation of the economies and of markets is having a clear impact on the Group's activity.

At operating level, the shopping centres held by the Group continue to deliver a positive and sustained performance, certainly better than one would expect in the depressive context that Economies show today. And, on the other hand, the first signs of recovery at macroeconomic level should help to maintain and consolidate today's levels of performance.

But the financing and investment markets are equally important for the Group. Today's depressed situation of the financing markets makes more difficult the decision to commit to the development of a new shopping centre. In this area, the Group will maintain its prudent approach of only making new commitments once the respective sources of finance are assured.

The property investment markets, on the other hand, continue with low levels of liquidity and with prices at historically low levels. The evolution of these markets is obviously important for the active management of the properties under management by the Group and also for the process of capital recycling that sustains the Group's growth. On this front, the Group believes that there could be positive developments in the near future, namely in terms of growth in liquidity and volume of transactions.

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

One shopping centre inaugurated and two others under construction

Sonae Sierra's growth and expansion strategy continues, although the Company has adjusted its development timings to the evolution of the financial and retail markets.

During the first quarter of the year, in Portugal, the company successfully completed the refurbishment of AlbufeiraShopping (Algarve), and inaugurated LeiriaShopping (Leiria) with 100% of the GLA (Gross Lettable Area) already let.

Representing an investment of €79 million, the shopping centre welcomed more than 120 thousand visits in the first four day alone, which is proof of the development's impact on the region, and provides great confidence in its future performance.

LeiriaShopping will make available a total of 116 shops in a 44,312 m2 GLA, combining prestigious national and international brands, with local ones. LeiriaShopping has also a parking lot free of charge and will make available 1,980 parking spaces.

the refurbishment of AlbufeiraShopping, a €5 million investment, had the main purpose of improving and revitalizing the former Modelo de Albufeira Shopping Centre, an important and historic centre in the Albufeira region. AlbufeiraShopping now has available 46 shops in 10,500 m2 of GLA, and 562 free parking spaces.

At the end of the first semester of 2010, the Company has two new shopping centres under construction and 8 projects in different stages of development in Portugal, Italy, Germany, Greece, Romania and Brazil.

In Italy, Sonae Sierra is currently developing Le Terrazze in La Spezia, which is scheduled to be inaugurated in the third quarter of 2011, represents an investment of more than €125 million, and has more than 50% of its GLA already let.

Capital Recycling

Sonae Sierra and Foncière Euris/Rallye successfully concluded the sale to Union Investment of the majority of Alexa share capital, in Berlin, by €316 million.

In July, Sonae Sierra and Acropole Charagionis have agreed the sale of their 39.9% joint and equal interests in Pylaia, SA - the vehicle holding Mediterranean Cosmos Shopping Centre in Thessaloniki, Greece - to Lamda Developments SA, for a consideration of approximately €38 million.

Looking ahead, we will continue our strategy of recycling capital, by selling part or the entirety of our stake in some Shopping Centres, in order to reinvest the proceeds, either in other projects developed by Sonae Sierra or in projects acquired from third parties, provided they demonstrate significant potential to create value, either by expanding or by improving the tenant-mix.

As part of our ongoing policy of capitalising on our assets, we have made considerable progress in the marketing of our expertise as developers of shopping centre projects and our property and asset management skills. Not only does this activity contribute to our overall income stream, it also improves our chances of breaking into new markets by enhancing our presence in territories where we currently have no operating shopping centres.

New property management and leasing activities

Sonae Sierra concluded an agreement with Pradera to become the Property Manager for the Commercial Gallery of Carrefour Militari, in Bucareste, Romania and a leasing services agreement with for Village shopping & more..., in Attica, Greece.

Sonae Sierra has entered into an agreement with El Tiro de Murcia S.L. to lease and manage the new El Tiro shopping centre, located in the city of Murcia. El Tiro de Murcia S.L., a well-known Spanish developer that has developed other prominent shopping centres has chosen Sonae Sierra due to its experience in the field of shopping centres property management.

Entry in Colombia – the Company's 8th market

In June 2010, Sonae Sierra announced its entry in a new market, Colombia, with the creation of Sierra Central, a service providing company in the shopping centre sector, including management and development of shopping centres.

Sierra Central is owned 50/50 by Sonae Sierra and Central Control, a Colombian company which already provides management services for Jardín Plaza, one of the main shopping centres in Cali, the country's third largest city. The Central Control owners were also responsible for the development of this centre and Centro Chipichape, in the same city.

Sales and occupancy levels sustained

The tenant Sales increased by 7% when compared with the same period of 2009 consequence of the enlargement of the portfolio: opening of LOOP5, in Germany and LeiriaShopping, in Portugal and to the increase of the Sales on the existing portfolio (+1.8% on a like-for-like basis).

The Occupancy Rate of the portfolio remained high and stable, recording a value of 95.9% at the end of June 2010 in Europe.

Five new awards in the first semester of 2010

Sonae Sierra received five awards – three national and two international – in the first six months of the year, which join the other 85 awards collected throughout the company 21 years of activity.

For the second year in a row, the company was distinguished at the European Risk Management Awards, an initiative of British magazine Strategic Risk that rewards the best and most innovative actions on the risk management area. This award, in the Best Environmental Risk Control category, acknowledges Sonae Sierra's commitment to being the best sustainable shopping centre specialist. In another international acknowledgement, the International Council of Shopping Centres (ICSC) rewarded Sonae Sierra for the refurbishment project of Valecenter Shopping Centre (Italy) in the Refurbishment & Extension category, at this year's edition of the ICSC European Shopping Centre Awards.

Nationally, Sonae Sierra was considered the Best Developer of the Year, in the Real Estate category, at the Construir Awards 2010. The prizes of Construir Newspaper, one of the most

prestigious publications of the sector, elected the best of 2009 in areas such as Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Real Estate.

Also at the same awards, the company was distinguished for the Best Office Building of 2009 with the Colombo Oriente Tower, developed by the consortium comprised of Caixa Geral de Depósitos Group, Iberdrola Imobiliária, ING Real Estate and Sonae Sierra.

Centro Colombo, Sonae Sierra's largest Shopping Centre in Portugal, was considered the Best Shopping Centre at the Hipersuper Awards 2010. The eight nominees included two other Sonae Sierra shopping centres – Centro Vasco da Gama and NorteShopping -, both shopping and leisure references in their catchment areas for their dynamism, variety and quality.

Good performance in Brazil

In Brazil, the Company initiated the construction of Uberlândia Shopping (Uberlândia) a shopping centre in the region of the Mineiro Triangle which represents a total investment of €62 million. Scheduled to be inaugurated in 2011, this project, located in the southern region of the city of Uberlândia, will be developed in an area of 154,000 m2 .

The Parque D. Pedro expansion, which is now underway is expected to open until March 2011, will add 5,400 m2 of GLA to the centre. The refurbishment and expansion of Metrópole, will add an extra 8,700 m2 of GLA, including a new nine-screen cinema, is schedule for completion in the first half of 2011.

In the first half of 2010 the tenant sales of the Brazilian portfolio achieved R\$1,575 million, an increase of 19.2% when compared with 2009. On a comparable basis the sales increased by 8.8%.

The Occupancy Rate of the portfolio remained high and stable, recording a value of 98.2% at the end of June 2010.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS

Sonae Sierra consolidated accounts

Profit & Loss accounts

Sonae Sierra Consolidated Net Profit in the first semester of 2010 was of €648 thousand compared with a Consolidated Net Loss of €94.2 million in the same period of last year.

The favourable change in the Total Net Profit was driven by a Value Created on properties much higher than the same period of last year due to the smaller increase in yields in 2010 in Europe.

To note that the Indirect Net Profit was deeply reduced by the recent changes on the Portuguese Income Tax rate – the introduction of the new "Derrama Estadual" had as consequence the calculation of the deferred tax liabilities in the Portuguese portfolio by the new tax rate.

The Company's Direct Net Profit reached €28.5 million, which compare with €19.2 million in 2009 (pro-forma), an increase of 46% due to the increase of income, the cutting costs efforts implemented in 2009 and to the interest expenses reduction.

The Direct Income from Investments increased by 6% due the enlargement of the portfolio: 2009 openings – LOOP5, in Germany and Manauara, in Brazil – and the 2010 opening – LeiriaShopping, in Portugal.

EBITDA reached €57.9 million, an increase of 10% when compared with the same period of last year.

Balance sheet

The Consolidated Balance Sheet continues to show a solid financial position. The total assets amounted to €2.722 million at the end of June 2010; the decrease in Investment Properties is explained by the sale of Alexa Shopping, partially compensated by the opening of LeiriaShopping and by the increase in value of Brazilian portfolio, which benefits from the Real appreciation between December 2009 and June 2010.

The Bank Debt decreased due to the sale of Alexa Shopping. The Loan-to-value (measured as net indebtedness less cash and equivalents, as a percentage of total properties) decreased from 50.1% to 47.2%, a level below the target of 50%.

Sierra Investments

In the first six months of 2010, Sierra Investments had a negative contribution to the Consolidated Results of € 7.5 million. As a portfolio owner, it was affected again by the upwards adjustment on European market capitalization yields, namely in Portugal.

The Direct Profit was in line with the same period of last year, with the reduction in terms of income due to the sale of Alexa being compensated by the opening of LeiriaShopping and lower financial costs consequence of lower interest rates.

SONAE SIERRA, SGPS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

as of 30 June 2010

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 15)

(Amounts stated in thousands of Euro - kEuro)

1 INTRODUCTION

SONAE SIERRA, S.G.P.S., S.A. ("the Company" or "Sonae Sierra"), which has its head office in Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 1197, 4471-909 Maia – Portugal, is the parent company of a group of companies ("the Group").

The Group's operations consist of investment, management and development of shopping centres.

The Group operates in Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Greece, Germany, Italy, Romania and Netherlands.

These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the group operates.

2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the International Financial Report Standards ("IFRS") and approved by the European Union, applicable to economic years beginning on 1 January 2010. These correspond to the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC") and approved by the European Union.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for investment properties and financial instruments which are stated at fair value, from the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the countries of each company adjusted, in the consolidation process, to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as approved by the European Union.

The Board of Directors of the Company considers that the accompanying consolidated financial statements and their notes have, under IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, an adequate presentation of the interim consolidated information. For additional information about the accounting policies of the Group and other information, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and their notes for the year 2009 should be consulted.

New accounting standards and their impact in these consolidated financial statements

Until the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions with mandatory application to the economic year beginning on 1 January 2010:

Effective date
(financial years
beginning on/after)
IFRS 3/IAS 27 (Revised 2008) 01-Jul-09
IFRS 1 Revised - First Time Adoption of IFRS 01-Jan-10
IFRIC 12 - Service concession arrangements 01-Jan-10
IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the construction of Real Estate 01-Jan-10
IFRIC 16 – Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation 01-Jul-09
Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39 - Embedded Derivatives 01-Jul-09
IFRIC 17 – Distribution of Non-cash Assets to Ow ners 01-Jul-09
IFRIC 18 – Transfer of assets from customers 01-Jul-09
Improvements to IFRS (2009) * 01-Jan-10
Amendments to IFRS 1 - Additional exemptions for First Time Adopters 01-Jan-10
Amendments to IFRS 2 - Group Cash-settled Share-based payments transactions 01-Jan-10

(*) Improvements to IFRS (2009), includes the revision of 12 accounting standards/interpretations.

All the standards mentioned above were adopted by the Group for the first time in 2010 and they do not represent a significant impact in the consolidated financial statements.

Until the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements the following standards and interpretations applicable to future economic years were endorsed by the European Union:

Effective date
(financial years
beginning on/after)
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Revised) 01-Jan-11
Amendment to IAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues 01-Feb-10
Amendment to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of Minimum Funding Requirements 01-Jan-11

These standards, although endorsed by the European Union, were not adopted by the Group during the first semester 2010, because at the time they were not mandatory. The Group does not consider important impacts in the consolidated financial statements.

The following standards and interpretations were issued by the IASB and they are not yet endorsed by the European Union:

Effective date
(financial years
beginning on/after)
Amendments to IFRS 1 Limited Exemption from comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First Time Adopters 01-Jul-10
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
Improvements to IFRS (2010)
01-Jan-13
Several (on / after 01-
Jul-10)

From these standards and interpretations already issue by the IASB but not approved by the European Union, the Group does not anticipate important impacts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

4 ACQUISITION AND SALE OF COMPANIES

The main acquisitions and sales of companies occurred during the first half of 2010 were as follows:

Sale of subsidiaries

In February 2010 the joint controlled entity ALEXA Shopping Centre GmbH ("Alexa Shoping"), sold 91% of the financial position in the company ALEXA Asset GmbH & Co, KG ("Alexa KG") (owner of the shopping centre "Alexa"), for the amount of kEuro 105,698 ( kEuro 52.849 to the Group,as Alexa Shopping is a joint controlled entity). Due to the loss of the joint control of Alexa KG, this subsidiary (with reference to 1 January 2010) no longer integrates the consolidated financial statements by the proportional method and is now measured by the equity method, since there is significant influence on it.

In March 2010, Sierra Developments Holdings, BV (100% owned by the Group) sold its 100% of the financial position in the subsidiary Project Sierra 8 B.V. to Sierra Sierra European Retail Real Estate Assets Holdings, BV ("Sierra BV"), (held by the Group at 50.1%) by kEuro 18. Considering that Sierra BV is held by the Group in 50.1%, only 49.9% of the total gain in this sale was recorded by the Group (kEuro 12). Project Sierra 8 B.V. continues to be integrated in the consolidated financial statements by the full consolidation method.

In April 2010, Sierra Investments Holdings, BV (100% owned by the Group) sold 50% of the financial position in the company Project Sierra 6 BV, for the amount of kEuro 1, with a gain on sale of kEuro 1. After the sale Project 6 B.V. was consolidated in the financial statements by the proportional method.

The main acquisitions and sales of companies occurred during the first half of 2009 were as follows:

Acquisition of subsidiaries:

During the first half of 2009 no significant acquisitions or sales occurred. The most relevant operation was the exchange of shares involving Parque Principado, S.L., 50% owned by Shopping Centre Principado B.V. as at 31 December 2008. In April 2009 the company Shopping Centre Principado BV (50% held by the Group) acquired 50% of Harvey Dos Iberica, S.L. ("Harvey") in exchange for the shares held on Vuelta Omega, S.L. ("Omega"), in the amount of kEuro 5,700. The Shopping Centre Principado BV sold to Vuelta, also during the half year ended in 30 June 2009, the 50% held on Parque Principado S.L., and Harvey acquired the remainder 50% of share capital of Parque Principado. After these operations the company Parque Principado S.L. is still held on 50% by Shopping Centre Principado BV and a loss of kEuro 5 was generated.

The amount of kEuro 19,150 refers to the value of the land for the project Alfaz del Pi, which was reacquired by the former owner under the contract to purchase the land, because of not having on time the building permit for the project.

The increase in properties in operation during the first half of 2010 results from the opening to the public of LeiriaShopping at the end of the month of March.

At 30 June 2010, 31 December 2009 and 30 June 2009 investment properties in operation corresponded to the fair value of the Group's proportion of the following shopping centres:

(1) In the consolidated financial accounts as of 30 June 2010 the valuations consider for these assets are related to March 2010 due to the fact that these assest are under a sale process.

The fair value of each investment property was determined by means of a valuation as of the financial position date made by an independent specialised entity (Cushman & Wakefield).

The valuation of these investment properties was made in accordance with the Practice Statements of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("Red Book"), located in England.

The methodology used to compute the market value of the investment properties consists in preparing 10 years projections of income and expenses of each shopping centre added to the residual value, corresponding to a projected net income of year 11 and a return market rate ("Exit yield" or "cap rate"). These projections are then discounted to the valuation date using a discount market rate. Projections are intended to reflect the actual best estimate of the valuer regarding future revenues and costs of each shopping. Both the return rate and discount rate are defined in accordance to the local real estate and institutional market conditions, being the reasonability of the market value obtained in accordance to the methodology above referred, tested also in terms of initial return, and obtained with the estimated net income for the 1st year of projections.

In the valuation of investment properties some assumptions, that in accordance with the Red Book are considered to be special, were in addition considered, namely in the case of recently inaugurated shopping centres, in which the possible costs still to be incurred were not considered, as the accompanying financial statements already include a provision for them.

The open market value of the investment properties under development as at the reporting date is calculated by subtracting from the open market value at opening, calculated using the methodology described above, the investment necessary to finish the project and weighted by a risk factor defined by the valuer.

The Market

According to the valuer whenever uncertainty could have a material effect on the opinion of fair value, the valuation needs to draw attention to this, indicating the cause of the uncertainty and the degree to which this is reflected in the valuation reported.

In the last quarter of the year 2009, the Euro zone as a whole slipped back to zero growth; in 2010, however, data and sentiment indicators suggest that growth has restarted for the region overall, and almost all major European economies are set to see positive growth by the end of the year.

The valuer considers that although some recent transactions could be considered distressed, it is inappropriate to conclude all recent market activity represents forced transactions. An imbalance between supply and demand (for example, fewer buyers than sellers) is not always a determinant of a forced transaction. A seller might be under financial pressure to sell, but it is still available to sell at a market price if there is more than one potential buyer in the market and a reasonable amount of time is available for marketing. Similarly, transactions initiated during bankruptcy should not automatically be assumed to be forced.

It has been held that valuers may properly conclude within a range of values. This range is likely to be greater in an illiquid market where inherent uncertainty exists and a greater degree of judgment must therefore be applied. The valuers strongly recommend that the company keep the valuation of the subject properties under review. The company should also anticipate a longer marketing period than would previously have been expected in the event that any property is offered for sale.

As of 30 June 2010, 31 December 2009 and 30 June 2009 the recoverable amount of the fit out contracts existing in each investment property was as follows:

(1) In the consolidated financial accounts as of 30 June 2010 the valuations consider for these assets are related to March 2010 due to the fact that these assest are under a sale process.

The fair value of the fit out contracts was determined by means of a valuation as of the financial position date made by an independent specialised entity (Cushman & Wakefield). The methodology used to compute the fair value of the fit out contracts consisted in determining the discounted estimated cash flows of each one of the fit out contracts, using a discounted marked rate, similar to the one used in determining the fair value of the investment property to which each fit out contract relates.

At 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2009 the following investment properties had been given in guarantee of bank loans:

The amounts of kEuro 10,559, kEuro 7,691 and kEuro 10,475 in 30 June 2010, 31 December 2009 and 30 June 2009, respectively, recorded under caption "Impairment for Assets at Risk" are related to the provision made to anticipate losses due to the non development of some of the actual projects, because of the uncertainty of markets.

The Aegean Park investment property in progress corresponds, at the moment, to the value of a site in Athens, Greece. In accordance with the information received, the local Municipal Authorities intention is to classify part of the site as green area, and the Management is being involved in negotiations with the local Municipal Authorities with the objective of determining which will be the final use of that site. The Board of Directors still believes that there will be no losses in the realization value of the site, therefore no impairment losses have been recognized.

The project Galatsi, with a land for which an operating lease contract was made for 40 years (with possibility of extension for another 6 years), has now been suspended due to awaiting the corresponding construction permit. For this reason, it was verbally agreed with the lessor of the land to suspend the payment of monthly rents, having the Group issued to the lessor a bank guarantee of kEuro 13,330 valid until 9 September 2010, as a guarantee of payment of the suspended rents, which in 30 June 2010 amounted to kEuro 5,282. No losses related to this project are estimated by the Group.

Investment properties in progress include borrowing expenses incurred during the construction period. As of 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2009, total borrowing expenses capitalised amounted to kEuro 296 and kEuro 4,446, respectively.

The fair value of the financial hedging instruments was recorded under Hedging Reserves of the Group (kEuro -28,6713 and kEuro -28,523 in 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2009 respectively) and hedging reserves of the minorities (kEuro -21,231 and kEuro -16,183 in 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2009 respectively).

The interest rate swaps and zero cost collars are stated at their fair value at the financial position statement date, determined by the valuation made by the bank entities with which the derivatives were contracted. The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the actualisation to the statement of financial position sheet date of the future cash-flows relating the difference between the interest rate to be paid by the Company to the bank entity with which the swap or collar was negotiated and the variable interest rate to be received by the Company from the bank entity that granted the loan. In addition, tests to the fair value of those derivative financial instruments were made by the treasury department of the Group, in order to validate the fair value determined by those entities.

The main hedging principles used by the Group when negotiating these hedging financial instruments are as follows:

  • Matching between the cash-flows paid and received: there is coincidence between the dates of interest payments of the loans obtained and their date of the derivatives flows with the bank;
  • Matching in the index interest rate used: the reference index interest rate used in the derivatives and in the loan are coincident;
  • In a scenario of increase or decrease in interest rates, the maximum amount of interest payable is perfectly calculated.
