CEO message

The creation of Zon Optimus has left an indelible mark on the third quarter of Sonaecom and on the telecommunications sector in Portugal.

Given the significant decided in October to launch a tender offer to acquire own shares in exchange for Zon Optimus shares, held by Sonaecom outside the control structure, thereby allowing minority shareholders to gain direct exposure to the new and promising operator.

A been very positive, both in telecommunications (as already reported to the market by Zon Optimus) and in SSI , which showed significant growth in activity and profitability.

Ângelo Paupério, CEO of Sonaecom

Turnover

Turnover continued to benefit with the international expansion of SSI companies, growing 8.9% in 9M13, to 83.8 million euros, driven by the very positive performance of service revenues, that increased from 59.4 million euros to 66.7 million euros, a growth of 12.2% y.o.y.. Equipment sales were negatively impacted by the macroeconomic environment, decreasing 2.3% when compared to 9M12, but increasing on quarterly terms, between 2Q12 and 3Q13, as well as on yearly terms, between 3Q12 and 3Q13.

Operating costs

Operating costs increased 6.8% when compared to 9M12, to 75.4 million euros, impacted by higher personnel and other operating costs. Personnel costs increased 11.0%, to 26.4 million euros, driven by the headcount growth, in which we emphasise WeDo Technologies, aimed at supporting the increased level of activity. Other operating costs increased 10.4% y.o.y., to 31.1 million euros, impacted mostly by the higher level of outsourcing costs, as well as a higher level of general and administrative costs (aligned with the increased level of international activity).

Commercial costs stood at 17.8 million euros, 4.1% below the 9M12, impacted by the lower level of costs of goods sold.

EBITDA

EBITDA continued the positive trend, fuelled by the evolution of service revenues, which more than offset the higher operating costs. Between 9M12 and 9M13, SSI EBITDA increased 44.0%, reaching 10.4 million euros.

Benefiting from the increased weight of service revenues in total turnover, EBITDA margin stood at 12.4%, 3.0pp above the 9M12, consistently presenting a double digit EBITDA margin.

EBITDA-operating CAPEX

As a result of EBITDA and operating CAPEX performances, EBITDA-operating CAPEX stood at 6.3 million euros, improving 14.7% when compared to the 5.5 million euros registered in 9M12.

6.2. Notes to the consolidated financial statements

SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company' or 'Sonaecom') was established on 6 June 1988, under the name Sonae – Tecnologias de Informação, S.A. and has its head office at Lugar de Espido, Via Norte, Maia – Portugal. It is the parent company of the Group of companies listed in notes 2 and 3 ('the Group').

Pargeste, SGPS, S.A.'s subsidiaries in the communications and information technology area were transferred to the Company through a demerger-merger process, executed by public deed dated 30 September 1997.

On 3 November 1999 the Company's share capital was increased, its Articles of Association were modified and its name was changed to Sonae.com, SGPS, S.A.. Since then the Company's corporate object has been the management of investments in other companies. Also on 3 November 1999, the Company's share capital was re-denominated to Euro, being represented by one hundred and fifty million shares with a nominal value of 1 Euro each.

On 1 June 2000, the Company carried out a Combined Share Offer, involving the following:

  • A Retail Share Offer of 5,430,000 shares, representing 3.62% of the share capital, made in the domestic market and aimed at: (i) employees of the Sonae Group; (ii) customers of the companies controlled by Sonaecom; and (iii) the general public;
  • An Institutional Offering for sale of 26,048,261 shares, representing 17.37% of the share capital, aimed at domestic and foreign institutional investors.

(a Shareholder of Sonaecom, hereinafter referred to as 'Sonae'). The capital increase was subscribed for and paid up on the date the price of the Combined Share Offer was determined, and paid up in cash, 31,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1 Euro each being issued. The subscription price for the new shares was the same as that fixed for the sale of shares in the aforementioned Combined Share Offer, which was Euro 10.

In addition, in this year, Sonae sold 4,721,739 Sonaecom shares under an option granted to the banks leading the Institutional Offer for Sale and 1,507,865 shares to Sonae Group managers and to the former owners of the companies acquired by Sonaecom.

By decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on 17 June 2002, Sonaecom's share capital was increased from Euro 181,000,000 to Euro 226,250,000 by public subscription reserved for the existing Shareholders, 45,250,000 new shares of 1 euro each having been fully subscribed for and paid up at the price of Euro 2.25 per share.

On 30 April 2003, the Company's name was changed by public deed to SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A..

By decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on 12 September 2005, Sonaecom's share capital was increased by Euro 70,276,868, from Euro 226,250,000 to Euro 296,526,868, by the issuance of 70,276,868 new shares of 1 euro each and with a share premium of Euro 242,455,195, fully subscribed by France Télécom. The corresponding public deed was executed on 15 November 2005.

By decision of the Shareholders General Meeting held on 18 September 2006, Sonaecom's share capital was increased by Euro 69,720,000, from Euro 296,526,868 to Euro 366,246,868, by the issuance of 69,720,000 new shares of 1 euro each and with a share premium of Euro 275,657,217, subscribed by 093X – Telecomunicações Celulares, S.A. ('EDP') and Parpública – Participações Públicas, SGPS, S.A. ('Parpública'). The corresponding public deed was executed on 18 October 2006.

By decision of the Shareholders General Meeting held on 16 April 2008, bearer shares were converted into registered shares.

The Group's business consists essentially of:

  • Multimedia;
  • Information systems consultancy.

The Group operates in Portugal and has subsidiaries (from the information systems consultancy segment) operating in about 16 countries.

Since 1 January 2001, all Group companies based in the Euro zone have adopted the Euro as their base currency for processing, systems and accounting.

The consolidated financial statements are also presented in euro, rounded at unit, and the transactions in foreign currencies are included in accordance with the accounting policies detailed below.

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements relate to the consolidated financial statements of the Sonaecom Group and have been prepared on a going concern basis, based on the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation (note 2) in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and considering the IAS 34 – 'Interim financial reporting'. These financial statements were prepared based on the acquisition cost, except for the revaluation of some financial instruments.

For Sonaecom, there are no differences between IFRS as adopted by European Union and IFRS published by the International Accounting Standards Board, with the exception of the start dates of the adoption of the standards indicated below.

Sonaecom adopted IAS/IFRS for the first time according to SIC 8 (First-time adoption of IAS) on 1 January 2003.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been approved (endorsed) by the European Union, and have mandatory application to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and were first adopted in the period ended at 30 September 2013:

Standard /Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) 1-Jan-13
It will improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing, for the
first time, a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs.
IAS 12 - Amendments (Deferred tax: Recovery 1-Jan-12 (*)
of Underlying Assets)
The amendment introduces, in the case of investment properties
measured using the fair value model, the presumption that recovery of
the carrying amount will normally be through sale, in order to determine
their tax impact. As a result of the amendments, SIC 21 - 'Income
Taxes—Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets' would no longer
apply to investment properties carried at fair value. The amendments
also incorporate into IAS 12 the remaining guidance previously

IAS 19 - Amendments (Employee Benefits) 1-Jan-13

contained in SIC-21, which is accordingly withdrawn.

The amendments make important improvements by eliminating an option to defer the recognition of gains and losses, known as the 'corridor method', improving comparability and faithfulness of presentation, streamlining the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans and enhancing the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans.

Standard /Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IAS 1 - Amendments (Presentation of Items of 1-Jul-12
Other Comprehensive Income)
The amendments to IAS 1 require companies preparing financial
statements in accordance with IFRSs to group together items within
OCI.
IFRS 7 - Admendments (Disclosures od 1-Jan-13
Financial Instruments)
The amendments require additional disclosures regarding financial
instruments, particularly, information about those subject to
compensation agreements and similars.
IFRIC 20 (Stripping Costs in the Production 1-Jan-13
Phase of a Surface Mine)
The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping should lead to the
recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both
initially and in subsequent periods.
IFRS 1 - Amendments (Government Loans) 1-Jan-13
The amendments referred to the Government Loans addresses how a
first-time adopters would account for a government loan with a below
market rate of interest when transitioning to IFRS and proposes to
permit prospective application of IAS 20 requirements.
Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011)
The IASB finalise its annual improvements publication corresponding to
the 2009-2011 cycle including six amendments to five IFRSs. The
annual improvements process provides a mechanism for non urgent but
necessary amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) to be grouped together and issued in one package. 1-Jan-13
Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, 1-Jan-13
IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)
The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements and also provide additional transition relief in IFRS
11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other
Entities, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative
information to only the preceding comparative period. Furthermore, for
disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, the
amendments will remove the requirement to present comparative

amendment to IAS 12, an entity shall use this standard no later than periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The early adoption is however permitted.

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

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

Standard /Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) 1-Jan-13(**)
Builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the
consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard
provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control
where this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11 (Companies jointly controlled) 1-Jan-13(**)
Provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing
on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal
form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies
in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to
account for interests in jointly controlled entities.
IFRS 12 (Disclosures of Interests in Other 1-Jan-13(**)
New and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all
forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements,
associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet
vehicles.
IAS 27 (Separate Financial Statements) 1-Jan-13(**)
Consolidation requirements previously forming part of IAS 27 have
been revised and are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements.
IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures)
1-Jan-13(**)
The objective of IAS 28 (as amended in 2011) is to prescribe the
accounting for investments in associates and to set out the
requirements for the application of the equity method when
accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.
IAS 32- Admendments (Offsetting Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities)
IAS 32 is amended to refer to the disclosure requirements in respect of
offsetting arrangements.
1-Jan-14
(**) In accordance with the EU Regulation which approves the
adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 and the amendments to IAS 27 and

adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 and the amendments to IAS 27 and IAS 28, an entity shall use these standards no later than periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The early adoption is however permitted.

These standards, although endorsed by the European Union, were not adopted by the Company for the period ended at 30 September 2013, since their application is not yet mandatory.

The application of these standards and interpretations, as applicable to the Group will have no material effect on future statements of the Group.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not yet been approved (endorsed) by the

European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements:

Standard /Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)
This standard is the first step in the project to replace IAS 39, and it
introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial
assets.
1-Jan-15
Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27
(Investment Entities);
The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualify as
investment entities. The admendments provide an exception to the
consolidation requirements in IFRS 10.
1-Jan-14
Amendments to IAS 36 (Recoverable
amount disclosures for Non-Financial
Assets)
The amendments introduce additional disclosures and clarify the
disclosures required when an asset is impaired and the recoverable
amount of assets was based on Fair Value Less Cost of Disposal.
1-Jan-14
Amendments to IAS 39 (Novation of
Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge
Accounting)
The objective of the proposed amendments is to provide an exception
to the requirement for the discontinuation of hedge accounting in IAS
39 and IFRS 9 in circumstances when a hedging instrument is required
to be novated as a result of laws or regulations.
1-Jan-14
IFRIC 21 Levies (Levies Charged by Public
Authorities on Entities that Operate in a
Specific Market)
This interpretation clarifies on when a liability to pay a levy imposed by a
government (does not include income taxes - see IAS 12 Income
taxes) should be recognised by an entity. IFRIC 21 identifies that the
obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the activity that triggers
the payment of the levy in accordance with the relevant legislation.
1-Jan-14
These standards have not yet been approved ('endorsed') by
the European Union and, as such, were not adopted by the
Group for the period ended at 30 September 2013. Their
application is not yet mandatory.
The application of these standards and interpretations, when
applicable, will have no material effect on future consolidated
financial statements.

The IFRS 11 - Joint arrangements is issued by IASB and endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application only in future periods or financial years after 1 January 2014. During the period ended at 30 September 2013, in order to anticipate possible future impacts of the standard abovementioned, improving the future comparability of the financial statements, the Group decided to report all companies jointly controlled according to the equity method, under the IAS 31 - Joint ventures, which is similar to the arragements laid down in IFRS 11.

As set forth by the standards, this change has been applied retrospectively and therefore the consolidated balances sheets at 1 January 2012, 30 September 2012 and 31 December 2012 and the consolidated profit and loss statements for the period ended at 30 September 2012 and for the year ended at 31 December 2012, were changed.

Also, during the period ended at 30 September 2013, the telecommunications segment was classified as a discontinued operation, as a result of a merger by the incorporation of Optimus SGPS in Zon (note 3.d). As set forth by IFRS 5, changes were made in the consolidated profit and loss statements for the periods ended at 30 September 2012 and for the year ended at 31 December 2012, in order to disclose a single amount in profit and loss statements related to net income/(loss) of discontinued operations.

The effects of these changes are presented in the tables below.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group on 30 September 2013, with the exception of the above metioned changes, are comparable with those used in the preparation of 31 December 2012 financial statements.

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

a) Investments in Group companies

Investments in companies in which the Group has direct or indirect voting rights at Shareholders' General Meetings, in excess of 50%, or in which it has control over the financial and operating policies (definition of control used by the Group) were fully consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Third party participations in the Shareholders' equity and net results of those companies are recorded separately in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated profit and loss statement, respectively, under the caption 'Non-controlling interests'.

Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Shareholders of parent company and the non-controlling interests even if this results in a deficit balance of noncontrolling interests.

In the acquisition of subsidiaries, the purchase method is applied. The results of subsidiaries bought or sold during the year are included in the profit and loss statement as from the date of acquisition (or of control acquisition) or up to the date of sale (or of control cession). Intra-Group transactions, balances and dividends are eliminated.

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of investments in Group companies are recorded as cost when they are incurred.

The fully consolidated companies are listed in note 2.

b) Investments in associated companies and companies jointly controlled

Investments in associated companies correspond to investments in which the Group has significant influence (generally investments representing between 20% and 50% of a company's share capital) and are recorded using the equity method.

The investments in companies jointly controlled are also recorded using the equity method. The classification of these investments is determinated based on Shareholders Agreements, which regulate the shared control.

In accordance with the equity method, investments are adjusted annually by the amount corresponding to the Group's share of the net results of associated companies, against a corresponding entry to gain or loss for the year, and by the amount of dividends received, as well as by other changes in the equity of the associated companies, which are recorded by a corresponding entry under the caption 'Other reserves'. An assessment of the investments in associated companies and companies jointly controlled is performed annually, with the aim of detecting possible impairment situations.

When the Group's share of accumulated losses of an associated company or a company jointly controlled exceeds the book value of the investment, the investment is recorded at nil value, except when the Group has assumed commitments to the associated company or a company jointly controlled, a situation when a provision is recorded under the caption 'Provisions for other liabilities and charges'.

The difference between the acquisition price of the investments in associated companies and companies jointly controlled and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, is recorded as Goodwill , included in the investment value and, when

negative, after a reassessment, is recorded, directly, in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Gains and losses in companies in associated companies and companies jointly controlled'.

A description of the associated companies and companies jointly controlled is disclosed in note 8.

c) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis as from the date the assets are available for use in the necessary conditions to operate as intended by the management, by a corresponding charge under the profit and loss statement caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'.

Impairment losses detected in the realisation value of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a corresponding charge under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation' in the profit and loss statement.

The annual depreciation rates used correspond to the estimated useful life of the assets, which are as follows:

Years of
useful life
Buildings and other constructions 2 - 20
Plant and machinery 4 - 20
Fixtures and fittings 3 - 15
Vehicles 2 - 4
Other tangible assets 4 - 20

Current maintenance and repair costs of tangible assets are recorded as costs in the year in which they occur. Improvements of significant amount, which increase the estimated useful life of the assets, are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the remaining estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

The estimated costs related with the mandatory dismantling and removal of tangible assets, incurred by the Group, are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

Work in progress corresponds to tangible assets still in the construction/development stage which are recorded at their acquisition cost. These assets are depreciated as from the moment they are in condition to be used and when they are ready to start operating as intended by the management.

d) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is likely that they will bring future economic benefits to the Group, if the Group controls them and if their cost can be reasonably measured.

Intangible assets comprise, essentially, software, brands. patents, costs incurred with the acquisition of customers' portfolios (value attributed under the purchase price allocation in business combinations) and know-how.

Amortisations of intangible assets are calculated on a straightline monthly basis, over the estimated useful life of the assets (one to six years), as from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred. The amortisation of the customer's portfolios is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated average retention period of the customers (six years).

Expenditures with internally-generated intangible assets, namely research and development expenditures, are recognised in the profit and loss statement when incurred.

Development expenditures can only be recognised as an intangible asset if the Group demonstrates the ability to complete the project and is able to put it in use or available for sale.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'.

e) Brands and patents

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

Sonaecom Group does not hold any brands or patents with undetermined useful life, therefore the second half of the above referred paragraph is not applicable.

f) Goodwill

The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries added the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the caption 'Goodwill', and, when negative, after a reappreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement. The Group will choose, on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, to measure non-controlling interests either at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, or at the

fair value of the non-controlling interests themselves. Until 1 January 2010, non-controlling interests were always measured at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.

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

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

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

Until 1 January 2004, 'Goodwill' was amortised over the estimated period of recovery of the investments, usually 10 years, and the annual amortisation was recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'. Since 1 January 2004 and in accordance with the IFRS 3 – 'Business Combinations', the Group has ceased the amortisation of the 'Goodwill', subjecting them to impairment tests (paragraph x). Impairment losses of Goodwill are recorded in the profit and loss statement for the period under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'.

g) Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss', 'loans and receivables', 'held-to-maturity investments', and 'available-for-sale financial assets'. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

The classification of the investments is determined at the initial recognition and re-evaluated every quarter.

(i) 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it has been acquired mainly with the purpose of selling it in the short term or if the adoption of this method allows reducing or eliminating an accounting mismatch. Derivatives

are also registered as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(ii) 'Loans and receivables'

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These financial investments arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, deducted from any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when their maturity is greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date, a situation in which they are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in the captions 'Trade debtors' and 'Other current debtors' in the balance sheet.

(iii) 'Held-to-maturity investments'

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed maturities that the Group's management has the positive intention and ability to hold until their maturity.

At 30 September 2013 the Group did not hold any 'Held-tomaturity investment'.

(iv) 'Available-for-sale financial assets'

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative investments that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other above referred categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose them within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on tradedate – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. The 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value and the transaction costs are recorded in the profit and loss statement. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or all substantial risks and rewards of their ownership have been transferred.

'Available-for-sale financial assets' and 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are subsequently carried at fair value.

'Loans and receivables' and 'Held-to-maturity investments' are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the profit and loss statement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit and loss statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using other valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances. If none of these techniques can be used, the Group values those investments at cost net of any identified impairment losses. The fair value of listed investments is determined based on the closing Euronext share price at the balance sheet date.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant (above 25%) or prolonged (in two consecutive quarters) decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment losses on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss statement.

h) Financial and operational leases

Lease contracts are classified as financial leases, if, in substance, all risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased asset are transferred by the lease contract or as operational leases, if, in substance, there is no transfer of risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased assets.

The lease contracts are classified as financial or operational in accordance with the substance and not with the form of the respective contracts.

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

Assets under long-term rental contracts are recorded in accordance with the operational lease method. In accordance with this method, the rents paid are recognised as an expense, over the rental period.

i) Inventories

Inventories are stated at their acquisition cost, net of any impairment losses, which reflects their estimated net realisable value.

Accumulated inventory impairment losses reflect the difference between the acquisition cost and the realisable amount of inventories, as well as the estimated impairment losses due to low turnover, obsolescence and deterioration, and are registered in profit and loss statement, in 'Cost of sales'.

j) Trade and other current debtors

Trade and other current debtors are recorded at their net realisable value and do not include interests, since the discount effect is not significant.

These financial instruments arise when the Group provides money, supplies goods or provides services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

The amounts of these captions are presented net of any impairment losses and are registered in profit and loss statement in heading 'Provisions and accumulated impairment losses'. Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Provisions and accumulated impairment losses'.

k) Cash and cash equivalents

Amounts included under the caption 'Cash and cash equivalents' correspond to amounts held in cash and term bank deposits and other treasury applications where the risk of change in value is insignificant.

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7, using the direct method. The Group classifies, under the caption 'Cash and cash equivalents', investments that mature in less than three months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. The caption 'Cash and cash equivalents' in the cash flow statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in the balance sheet caption 'Short-term loans and other loans'.

The cash flow statement is classified by operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include collections from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and other flows related to operating activities. Cash flows from investing activities include the acquisition and sale of investments in associated, subsidiary companies and companies jointly controlled as well as receipts and payments resulting from the purchase and sale of fixed assets. Cash flows from financing activities include payments and receipts relating to loans obtained and finance lease contracts.

All amounts included under this caption are likely to be realised in the short term and there are no amounts given or pledged as guarantee.

l) Loans

Loans are recorded as liabilities by the 'amortised cost'. Any expenses incurred in setting up loans are recorded as a deduction to the nominal debt and recognised during the period of the loan, based on the effective interest rate method. The interests incurred but not yet due are added to the loans caption until their payment.

m) Financial expenses relating to loans obtained

Financial expenses relating to loans obtained are generally recognised as expenses at the time they are incurred. Financial expenses related to loans obtained for the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. These expenses are capitalised starting from the time of preparation for the construction or development of the asset and are interrupted when the assets are ready to operate, at the end of the production or construction phases or when the associated project is suspended.

n) Derivatives

The Group only uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge against such risks. The Group does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

The cash flow hedges used by the Group are related to:

(i) interest rate swap operations to hedge against interest rate risks on loans obtained. The amounts, interest payment dates and repayment dates of the underlying interest rate swaps are similar in all

respects to the conditions established for the contracted loans. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in assets or liabilities, against a corresponding entry under the caption 'Hedging reserve' in Shareholders' funds;

(ii) Forward's exchange rate for hedging foreign exchange risk, particularly from receipts from customers of subsidiary Wedo Consulting. The values and times periods involved are identical to the amounts invoiced and their maturities.

In cases where the hedge instrument is not effective, the amounts that arise from the adjustments to fair value are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement.

At 30 September 2013, the Group had foreign exchange forwards to hedge the foreign currency risk related to account receivables in dollars, in addition to those mentioned in note 1.x).

o) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (either legal or implicit) resulting from a past event, the resolution of which is likely to involve the disbursement of funds by an amount that can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are reviewed at the balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date.

Provisions for restructurings are only registered if the Group has a detailed plan and if that plan has already been communicated to the parties involved.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes, if the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes when future economic benefits are likely to occur.

p) Income tax

'Income tax' expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12 – 'Income Taxes'. Sonaecom has adopted, since 1 January 2008, the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, under which, the provision for income tax is determined on the basis of the estimated taxable income of all the companies covered by that regime, in accordance with such rules. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all subsidiaries on which the Group holds at least 90% of their share capital, with its headquarters located in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC). The remaining Group companies

not covered by the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies are taxed individually based on their respective taxable income, in accordance with the tax rules in force in the location of the headquarters of each company.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits shall arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each year the recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets are revised and they are reduced whenever their realisation ceases to be probable, or increased if future taxable profits are, likely, enabling the recovery of such assets (note 11).

Deferred taxes are calculated with the tax rate that is expected to be in force at the time the asset or liability will be used.

Whenever deferred taxes derive from assets or liabilities directly registered in Shareholders' funds, its recording is also made under the Shareholders' funds caption. In all other situations, deferred taxes are always recorded in the profit and loss statement.

q) Government subsidies

Subsidies awarded to finance personnel costs are recognised as less cost during the period in which the Group incurs the associated costs and are included in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Staff expenses'.

Subsidies awarded to finance investments are recorded as deferred income on the Balance Sheet and are included in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Other operating revenues'. Subsidies are recognized during the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

r) Accrual basis and revenue recognition

Expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. Estimated amounts are used when actual amounts are not known.

The captions of 'Other non-current assets', 'Other current assets', 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' include expenses and income relating to the current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods. The latter shall be included by

the corresponding amounts in the results of the periods that they relate to.

The costs attributable to current year and whose expenses will only occur in future years are estimated and recorded under the caption 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities', when it is possible to estimate reliably the amount and the timing of occurrence of the expense. If there is uncertainty regarding both the date of disbursement of funds, and the amount of the obligation, the value is classified as Provisions (note 1.o).

Sales revenues are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss statement when the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets are transferred to the buyer and the amount of the corresponding revenue can be reasonably quantified. Sales are recognised before taxes and net of discounts.

The revenues and costs of the consultancy projects developed in the information systems consultancy segment are recognised in each period, according to the percentage of completion method.

Non-current financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and, in each period, the financial actualisation of the fair value is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the captions 'Other financial expenses' and 'Other financial income'.

Dividends are recognised when the Shareholders' rights to receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

s) Balance sheet classification

Assets and liabilities due in more than one year from the date of the balance sheet are classified, respectively, as noncurrent assets and non-current liabilities.

In addition, considering their nature, the 'Deferred taxes' and the 'Provisions for other liabilities and charges', are classified as non-current assets and liabilities (notes 11 and 17).

t) Reserves

Legal reserve

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

Share premiums

The share premiums relate to premiums generated in the issuance of capital or in capital increases. According to Portuguese Commercial law, share premiums follow the same requirements of 'Legal reserves', ie, they are not distributable, except in case of liquidation, but they can be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted or to increase share capital.

Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserves

According to IFRS 2 – 'Share-based Payment', the responsibility related with the Medium Term Incentive Plans is registered under the heading of 'Reserves for Medium Term Incentive Plans', which are not distributable and which can not be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

Hedging reserve reflects the changes in fair value of 'cashflow' hedges derivatives that are considered effective (note 1.n)) and it is non-distributable nor can it be used to absorb losses.

Own shares reserve

The own shares reserve reflects the acquisition value of the own shares and follows the same requirements of legal reserve.

Under Portuguese law, the amount of distributable reserves is determined in accordance with the individual financial statements of the Company, presented in accordance with IAS / IFRS. Therefore, at 30 September 2013, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. didn't have free reserves distributable.

u) Own shares

Own shares are recorded as a deduction of Shareholders' funds. Gains or losses arising from the sale of own shares are recorded under the heading 'Other reserves'.

v) Foreign currency

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were translated into euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date.

Favourable and unfavourable foreign exchange differences resulting from changes in the rates in force at transaction date and those in force at the date of collection, payment or at the balance sheet date are recorded as income and expenses in the consolidated profit and loss statement of the year, in financial results.

Entities operating abroad with organisational, economic and financial autonomy are treated as foreign entities.

Assets and liabilities of the financial statements of foreign entities are translated into Euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date, while expenses and income in such financial statements are translated into euro using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting exchange differences are recorded under the Shareholders' funds caption 'Other reserves'.

Goodwill and adjustments to fair value generated in the acquisitions of foreign entities reporting in a functional currency other than Euro are translated into Euro using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

The following rates were used to translate into Euro the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and the balances in foreign currency:

w) Assets impairment

Impairment tests are performed at the date of each balance sheet and whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the book value of an asset is greater than the amount recoverable, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation' in the case of fixed assets and goodwill, under the caption 'Other financial expenses' in the case of financial investments or under the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses', in relation to the other assets. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. Net selling price is the amount obtainable upon the sale of an asset in a transaction within the capability of the parties involved, less the costs

directly related to the sale. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and of its sale at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if this is not possible, for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

Evidence of the existence of impairment in accounts receivables appears when:

  • The counterparty presents significant financial difficulties;
  • There are significant delays in interest payments and in other leading payments from the counterparty;
  • It is probable that the debtor goes into liquidation or into a financial restructuring.

For certain categories of financial assets for which it is not possible to determine the impairment for each asset individually, the analysis is made for a group of assets. Evidence of an impairment loss in a portfolio of accounts receivable may include past experience in terms of collections, increasing number of delays in collections, as well as changes in national or local economic conditions that are related with the collections capacity.

For Goodwill and Financial investments, the recoverable amount, calculated in terms of value in use, is determined based on the most recent business plans duly approved by the Group's Board of Directors. For Accounts receivables, the Group uses historical and statistical information to estimate the amounts in impairment. For Inventories, the impairment is calculated based on market evidence and several indicators of stock rotation.

x) Medium Term Incentive Plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 – 'Share-based Payments'.

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by the Group involves the delivery of Sonaecom's own shares, the estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, under the caption 'Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserve', within the heading 'Shareholders' funds' and is charged as an expense under the caption 'Staff expenses' in the profit and loss statement.

The quantification of this responsibility is based on fair value and is recognised over the vesting period of each plan (from the award date of the plan until its vesting or settlement date). The total responsibility, at any point of time, is calculated based on the proportion of the vesting period that has 'elapsed' up to the respective accounting date.

When the responsibilities associated with any plan are covered by a hedging contract, ie, when those responsibilities are replaced by a fixed amount payable to a third party and when Sonaecom is no longer the party that will deliver the Sonaecom shares, at the settlement date of each plan, the above accounting treatment is subject to the following changes:

  • (i) The total gross fixed amount payable to third parties is recorded in the balance sheet as either 'Other non-current liabilities' or 'Other current liabilities';
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the 'unelapsed' proportion of the cost of each plan) is deferred and is recorded, in the balance sheet as either 'Other noncurrent assets' or 'Other current assets';
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate the original entry to 'Shareholders' funds';
  • (iv) In the profit and loss statement, the 'elapsed' proportion continues to be charged as an expense under the caption 'Staff expenses'.

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded under the balance sheet captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' by a corresponding entry under the profit and loss statement caption 'Staff expenses', for the cost relating to the vesting period that has 'elapsed' up to the respective accounting date. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

When the liability is covered by a hedging contract, recognition is made in the same way as described above, but with the liability being quantified based on the contractually fixed amount.

Equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is recorded under the balance sheet captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' by a corresponding entry under the profit and loss statement caption 'Staff expenses', for the cost relating to the deferred period elapsed. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

For 2011 Sonaecom shares plan, the Company signed with Sonae-SGPS, S.A. a contract that agrees to the transfer of Sonaecom SGPS, S.A. shares for employees and board members of the Group as requested by Sonaecom and under the MTIP of Sonaecom and fixed the shares' acquisition price. The remaining Sonaecom share plans are covered through the detention of own shares. The impacts associated to the Medium Term Incentive Plans are registered, in the balance

sheet, under the caption 'Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserve'. The cost is recognized under the profit and loss statement caption 'Staff expenses'.

Regarding the plans liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company, the company entered into hedging contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed.Therefore, the responsibility is recorded based on that fixed price, proportionally to the period of time elapsed since the award date until the date of record, under the captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities'. The cost is recognised on the income statement under the caption 'Staff expenses'.

y) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the date of the balance sheet which provide additional information about conditions prevailing at the time of the balance sheet (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide information on postbalance sheet conditions (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

z) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the years ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

  • (i) Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets;
  • (ii) Impairment analysis of goodwill and of other tangible and intangible assets;
  • (iii) Recognition of impairment losses on assets (Trade debtors and Inventories) and provisions.

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

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

aa) Financial risk management

Due to its activities, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

These risks arise from the unpredictability of financial markets, which affect the capacity of project cash flows and profits. The Group financial risk management, subject to a long-term ongoing perspective, seeks to minimise potential adverse effects that derive from that uncertainty, using, whenever it is possible and advisable, derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to such risks (note 1.n).

Market risk

a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally, having subsidiaries that operate in countries with a different currency than Euro namely Brazil, United Kingdom, Poland, United States of America, Mexico, Australia, Egypt, Colombia, Panama, Singapore, Angola and Malaysia (branch) and so it is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk management seeks to minimise the volatility of investments and transactions made in foreign currencies and contributes to reduce the sensitivity of Group results to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Whenever possible, the Group uses natural hedges to manage exposure, by offsetting credits granted and credits received expressed in the same currency. When such a procedure is not possible, the Group adopts derivative financial hedging instruments (note 1.n).

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, results essentially from the fact that some of its subsidiaries report in a currency different from euro, making the risk of operational activity immaterial.

b) Interest rate risk

Sonaecom's total debt is indexed to variable rates, exposing the total cost of debt to a high risk of volatility. The impact of this volatility on the Group results or on its Shareholders' funds is mitigated by the effect of the following factors (i) relatively low level of financial leverage; (ii) possibility to use derivative financial instruments that hedge the interest rate risk, as mentioned below; (iii) possible correlation between the level of market interest rates and economic growth having the latter a positive effect in other lines of the Group's consolidated results (particularly operational), and in this way partially offsetting the increase of financial costs ('natural hedge'); and (iv) the existence of stand alone or consolidated liquidity which is also bearing interest at a variable rate.

The Group only uses derivatives or similar transactions to hedge interest rate risks considered significant. Three main principles are followed in all instruments selected and used to hedge interest rate risk:

  • For each derivative or instrument used to hedge a specific loan, the interest payment dates on the loans subject to hedging must equalise the settlement dates defined under the hedging instrument;
  • Perfect match between the base rates: the base rate used in the derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that of the facility/transaction which is being hedged;
  • As from the start of the transaction, the maximum cost of the debt, resulting from the hedging operation is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in market interest rates, so that the resulting rates are within the cost of the funds considered in the Group's business plan.

As all Sonaecom's borrowings (note 15) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used, when it is deemed necessary, to hedge future changes in cash flow relating to interest payments. Interest rate swaps have the financial effect of converting the respective borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with third parties (banks) to exchange, in predetermined periods, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed contract rate and the floating rate at the time of re-fixing, by reference to the respective agreed notional amounts.

The counterparties of the derivative hedging instruments are limited to highly rated financial institutions, being the Group's policy, when contracting such instruments, to give preference to financial institutions that form part of its financing transactions. In order to select the counterparty for occasional operations, Sonaecom requests proposals and indicative prices from a representative number of banks in order to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.

In determining the fair value of hedging operations, the Group uses certain methods, such as option valuation and discounted future cash flow models, using assumptions based on market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

Comparative financial institution quotes for the specific or similar instruments are used as a benchmark for the valuation.

The fair value of the derivatives contracted, that are considered as fair value hedges or the ones that are considered not sufficiently effective for cash flow hedge (in accordance with the provisions established in IAS 39), are recognised under borrowings captions and changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognised directly in the profit and loss statement for the year. The fair value of derivatives of cash flow hedge, that are considered effective according to

IAS 39, are recognised under borrowing captions and changes in the fair value are recognised in equity.

Sonaecom's Board of Directors approves the terms and conditions of the financing with significant impact in the Group, based on the analysis of the debt structure, the risks and the different options in the market, particularly as to the type of interest rate (fixed / variable). Under the policy defined above, the Executive Committee is responsible for the decision on the occasional interest rate hedging contracts, through the monitoring of the conditions and alternatives existing in the market.

Liquidity risk

The existence of liquidity in the Group requires the definition of some policies for an efficient and secure management of the liquidity, allowing us to maximise the profitability and to minimise the opportunity costs related to that liquidity.

The liquidity risk management has a threefold objective: (i) Liquidity, ie, to ensure the permanent access in the most efficient way to obtain sufficient funds to settle current payments within the respective dates of maturity as well as any eventual not forecasted requests for funds, within the deadlines set for this; (ii) Safety, ie to minimise the probability of default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial Efficiency, ie, to ensure that the Group maximises the value / minimises the opportunity cost of holding excess liquidity in the short term.

The main underlying policies correspond to the variety of instruments allowed, the maximum acceptable level of risk, the maximum amount of exposure by counterparty and the maximum periods for investments.

The existing liquidity in the Group should be applied to the alternatives and by the order described below:

  • (i) Amortisation of short-term debt after comparing the opportunity cost of amortisation and the opportunity cost related to alternative investments;
  • (ii) Consolidated management of liquidity the existing liquidity in Group companies, should mainly be applied in Group companies, to reduce the use of bank debt at a consolidated level;
  • (iii) Applications in the market.

The applications in the market are limited to eligible counterparties, with ratings previously established by the Board and limited to certain maximum amounts by counterparty.

The definition of maximum amounts intends to ensure that the application of liquidity in excess is made in a prudent way and taking into consideration the best practices in terms of bank relationships.

The maturity of applications should equal the forecasted payments (or the applications should be easily convertible, in the case of asset investments, to allow urgent and not estimated payments), considering a threshold for eventual deviations on the estimates. The threshold depends on the accuracy level of treasury estimates and would be determined by the business. The accuracy of the estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity analysis for the loans obtained is presented in note 15.

Credit risk

The Group's exposure to credit risk is mainly associated with the accounts receivable related to current operational activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Group only negotiates with entities with high credit quality.

The management of this risk seeks to guarantee that the amounts owing are effectively collected within the periods negotiated without affecting the financial health of the Group. The Group uses credit rating agencies and has specific departments responsible for risk control, collections and management of processes in litigation, as well as credit insurances, which all contribute to the mitigation of credit risk.

The amounts included in the financial statements related to trade debtors and other debtors, net of impairment losses, represent the maximum exposure of the Group to credit risk.

Following the announcement made, on 14 December 2012, between Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., Kento Holding Limited and Jadeium BV (currently named Unitel International Holdings, BV, collectively referred to as 'Kento/Jadeium'), of having reached an agreement to recommend to the Boards of Zon Multimédia – Serviços de Telecomunicações e Multimédia, SGPS, S.A. ('Zon') and Optimus SGPS, SA a merger between the two companies, on 11 January 2013, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. carried out a capital increase in kind, transferring 81.807% of its financial participation in Optimus SGPS, S.A. to ZOPT,SGPS, S.A. (vehicle used for this purpose), conditional upon completion of the merger.

Thus, following the above mentioned agreement, on 27 August 2013, and after fulfilling all the remedies required to the operation, the merger was closed. Sonaecom considers this to be the date on which Zopt took control of Zon Optimus. Accordingly, in the same day, it was registered the capital increase in kind with the transference of 81.807% Sonaecom's financial participation in Optimus SGPS, S.A. to ZOPT,SGPS, S.A ('Zopt'). As a consequence, Sonaecom held a 50% stake in Zopt, as well as shareholder loans to be received from Zopt amounting to Euro 230 million (note 8), which would later be reduced to Euro 115 million. Additionally, the remaining stake of 18.193% in Optimus SGPS, was converted into a minority stake of 7.28% in Zon Optimus (note 9).

Resulting from a 'Shareholders Agreement' between the parties involved in the merger, Sonacom and Kento/Jadeium Group agreed not to acquire any shares of Zon Optimus, with the exception of the shares acquired by Sonaecom as a result of the operation. For this reason, the 'Shareholders Agreement' also foresees that after 2 years from the date of the formal closing of the merger, and for a period of three months, the Group Kento / Jadeium may exercise a call option over half of the shares of Zon Optimus that Sonaecom holds at the date of the exercise of call option, at a price equal to the weighted average price of the previous month.

After the share capital increase of Zopt and the closing of the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon, Sonaecom derecognised in consolidated accounts, the difference of assets and liabilities fully consolidated of Optimus SGPS and its subsidiaries amounting to Euro 992. Sonaecom has also recognized an investment in Zopt amounting to Euro 598 million1 , loans to be received from Zopt amounting Euro 230 million (note 8) and an investment registered at fair value through Zon Optimus shares (the conversion of

1 The Zopt participation of 598 million euros (598 = ((2.850 X 50,01% )-230)X 50%) results from the valuation of the holding of Zopt in Zon Optimus, amounting to 2,850 million euros. This corresponds to the sum of the valuation of the capital increase in Zopt made by Zon and Optimus (the valuation was made by entities involved in the capital increase and the merger project) in 2,500 million euros and the minimum synergies estimated, disclosed in the merger project in the amount of 350 million euros, deducted from loans totaling 230 million euros. It was decided that Zon market price at the date of the closing of the merger didn't reflected the fair value of Zon Optimus (the argument for not using the Zon share price at the date of the close of the merger, as abovementioned, is proven by the positive evolution of Zon Optimus share price since the date of the merger until the date of this document (2,638 million euros versus 2,141, price at 27 August 2013, merger date). For this reason, the market capitalization of Zon was not considered as a reference for valuing the Zopt investment. The valuation of Zon and Optimus was based on internally and analysts' projections, regarding the main economic indicators, including operating results and investment. For this purpose, was used a weighted average cost of capital of 9.5% and growth rate of 3%.

20,921,650 Optimus SGPS shares, representing 18.193% of the share capital, to 37,489,324 Zon Optimus shares, representing 7.28% of the share capital), at the market price of 27 August 2013 (date of the closing of the merger), amounting to Euro 156 million (note 9).

Thus, as a result of the derecognition of the investment in Optimus SGPS and its subsidiaries, the recognition of the investments in Zopt and Zon Optimus, and the loans to be received from Zopt, it was registered a capital loss of 9 million euros .

Considering the nature of the balances, the amounts to be paid and received to/from 'State and other public entities' as well as specialized costs related to the share based plans were considered outside the scope of IFRS 7. On the other hand, the deferred costs/profits recorded in the captions 'Other current assets', 'Other non-current assets', 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other noncurrent liabilities' were considered non-financial instruments.

The Board of Directors believes that, the fair value of the breakdown of financial instruments recorded at amortised cost or registered at the present value of the payments does not differ significantly from their book value. This decision is based in the contractual terms of each financial instrument.

The additions that occurred during the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 included: assets associated with the UMTS operation (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service), HSDPA (Kanguru Express), GSM (Global Standard for Mobile Communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) and LTE (Long Term Evolution), At 30 September 2013, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and the consequent derecognition of the assets of the telecommunications segment (note 3.d), the assets above mentioned were no longer part of the final balance, but, instead, were part of the 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)'.

Additions, disposals and transfers are, mainly, related to the area of telecommunications during the first eight months of the year.

At 30 September 2013, additions include about Euro 5.4 million of capitalizations of personnel costs related to own work (about Euro 6.1 million at 30 September 2012).

At 30 September 2012, disposals include the sale of a set of assets related with 2G, 3G and Micro-Wave network.

The acquisition cost of 'Tangible assets' and 'Intangible assets' held by the Group under finance lease contracts, amounted to Euro 920,831 and Euro 35,808,739 as of 30 September 2013 and 2012, and their net book value as of those dates amounted to Euro

122,224 and Euro 19,692,191, respectively. During the period ended at 30 September 2013, the finance lease contracts of Optimus-Comunicações SA and Be Artis, were transferred to 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)'.

At 30 September 2012, the heading 'Tangible assets' included an amount of Euro 25.2 million, related to the net book value of the telecommunications equipment delivered to customers, under free lease agreements with a pre-defined period, which are being amortised over the duration of their contracts. During the period ended at 30 September 2013, the entire amount was derecognised and it is included in 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)'.

At 30 September 2013 and 2012, the heading 'Tangible assets' does not include any asset pledged or given as a guarantee for loans obtained, except for the assets acquired under financial lease contracts.

'Tangible assets in progress' at 30 September 2013 and 2012 were made up as follows:

2013 2012
Development of mobile/fixed network - 31,825,343
Information systems 269,200 127,418
Other projects in progress 27,283 3,425,302
296,483 35,378,063

The variation in 'Tangible assets in progress' is due to the derecognition of the telecommunications' assets (note 3.d).

At 30 September 2013 and 2012, the amounts of commitments to third parties relating to investments to be made were as follows:

2013 2012
Network - 22,691,379
Information systems - 1,303,595
- 23,994,974

During the period ended at 30 September 2013, there are no commitments to third parties relating to investments to be made, because, all of them were related to telecommunications companies (note 3.d).

Under the agreed terms resulting from the grant of the UMTS License, Optimus – Comunicações, S.A., committed to contribute to the promotion and development of an 'Information Society' in Portugal. The total amount of the obligations assumed arose to Euro 274 million which will have to be realised until the end of 2015.

In accordance with the Agreement established on 5 June 2007 with the Ministry of Public Works, Transportation and Communications (MOPTC), part of these commitments, up to Euro 159 million, would be realised through own projects eligible as contributions to the 'Information Society' which will be incurred under the normal course of Optimus – Comunicações, S.A.'s business (investments in network and technology, if not directly related with the accomplishment of other obligations inherent to the attribution of the UMTS License, and activities of research, development and promotion of services, contents and applications). These own projects must be recognised by the MOPTC and by entities created specifically for this purpose. The total amount was already incurred and validated by the above referred entities, so, at this date, there are no additional responsibilities related to these commitments. These charges were recorded in the financial statements at the moment the projects were carried out and the estimated costs became known.

The remaining commitments, up to Euro 116 million, has been realised, as agreed between Optimus – Comunicações S.A. and MOPTC, through contributions to the 'Iniciativas E' project (modem offers, discounts on tariffs, cash contributions, among others, assigned to the widespread use of broadband internet for students and teachers). These contributions are made through the 'Fund for the Information Society', now known as the 'Fundação para as Comunicações Móveis' (Foundation for Mobile Communications), established by the three mobile operators with businesses in Portugal. All responsibility was recognised as an additional cost of UMTS license, against an entry in the captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities'. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, all the responsibilities with such commitments were derecognized from the consolidated financial statements, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (note 3.d).

Intangible assets in the period ended at 30 September 2012, include an amount of approximately Euro 110 million, corresponding to the current value of future payments related with the acquisition of rights of use for frequency (spectrum) bands of 800 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz, which will be used to develop 4th generation services (LTE - Long Term Evolution). The payable amount totals Euro 113 million. In January 2012, an amount of Euro 83 million and in January 2013, an amount of Euro 6 million were already paid. The remaining amount can be paid in four annual installments of Euro 6 million, having the company, at each annual payment, the option to anticipate the payment of the amount in debt.

During the year ended 31 December 2012, considering the availability of LTE (Long Term Evolution) technology (although subject to restrictions in some areas of the country) and the subsequent launching the commercial operation, a fraction of the present value of future payments related to the acquisition of rights of use for 4th generation frequencies services was transferred from work in progress (Euro 92.9 million) and the amortization was started, for an estimated period until 2041.

Information Systems Multimedia
Goodwill 22,615,902 7,000,000

At 30 April 2012, the group acquired the entire share capital of Connectiv Solutions. Following that, the company started from 1 May 2012 to consolidate the financial statements using the full consolidation method.

Connectiv main activity is the rendering of consulting services in the area of information systems.

The acquisition price was allocated as following:

Net assets and liabilities 883,960 3,190,109 4,074,069
Acquisition price 9,654,547
Goodwill 5,580,478

Following the acquisition of Connectiv Solutions, the company has made a preliminary assessment of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, of which result the recognision of software and clients portfolio in the amount of Euro 3,190,109.

As usual on mergers and acquisitions, also in the acquisition of Connectiv, there was a part of the acquisition price which was not possible to be allocated to the fair value of some identified assets and liabilities,that was considered as Goodwill. This Goodwill is related to a number of different elements, which cannot be individually quantified and isolated in a viable way and include, for example, synergies, qualified workforce, technical skills and market power. The total amount of this Goodwill will be considered as fiscal cost in Connectiv accounts, for a period of 15 years, according with the United States os America law.

The acquisition price includes a deferred amount of USD 2 million (1 million paid in 2013 and 1 million to be paid in 2014) and a contingent amount to be paid annually, during 4 years, depending on the performance of the company in terms of revenue, which was estimated in about Euro 1.4 million (USD 0.5 million have already been paid in the period ended at 30 September 2013). For the period ended at 30 September 2013, the contingent amount payable was adjusted by EUR 3,891,556, which generated an adjustment to initial Goodwill, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

At 1 January 2013, Connectiv was incorporated, by merger, in WeDo Americas.

The evaluation of the existence of impairment losses in Goodwill is made by taking into account the cash-generating units, based on the most recent business plans duly approved by the Group's Board of Directors, which are made on an annual basis unless there is evidence of impairment and prepared according to cash flow projections for periods of five years. In the area of information systems, the assumptions used are essentially based on the various businesses of the Group and the growth of the several geographic areas where the Group operates. The discount rates used were based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which depends on the business segment of each subsidiary, as indicated in the table below. In perpetuity, the Group considered a growth rate of around 3%. In situations where the measurement of the existence, or not, of impairment is made based on the net selling price, values of similar transactions and other proposals made are used.

Discount rate 14.0% 12.0%

Due to the worsening of the financial crisis, which caused a significant deterioration of the Portugal's macroeconomic scenario in the last years, the advertising market suffered a sharp decline . This situation along with, the bearish forecasts for the next years,

aggravated the outlook for future developments. Sales of newspapers and related products have been declining, affecting the projections of cash flows of the multimedia segment, leding the record of a loss in the amount of Euro 8 million in the year ended at 31 December 2012, under the caption 'Depreciation and amortization' of the Income Statement, in accordance with the policy described in note 1.w. The sensitivity analysis performed, at the end of the year, did not lead to material changes in the recouverable amounts and therefore did not result in additional losses.

The evidence of impairment analysis, the revision of the projections and impairment tests did not lead to clearance of losses, in the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012. In the Information Systems segment, the sensitivity analysis performed, as required by IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets, variations of 50 bp in the discount rate or variations of 100 bp in the growth rate did not lead to material changes in the recouverable amounts and therefore did not result in additional losses.

The 'Other temporary differences' include temporary differences related to the value of the UMTS license, of the subsidiary Optimus. In consolidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS / IFRS, the license was amortised linearly, by the estimated period of useful life. For tax purposes, until the year 2009, the UMTS license was amortised using, on the first five years of commercial operation, from 2004 to 2008, incremental monthly basis depending of the capacity of the network installed, which would be applied after the straight-line monthly basis until the term of the license. Thus, the group recorded deferred tax assets relating to the temporary differences between the value of the license for tax purposes and the value recorded in the consolidated financial statements. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, these assets are no longer part of the final balance and are recorded in 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)', following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (note 3.d).

Deferred taxes related to the IAS / IFRS adjustments correspond to the temporary differences generated in the companies included in consolidation and result from the fact that IAS / IFRS conversion adjustments, recorded in these companies at 31 December 2009, already considered in consolidated financial statements under IAS / IFRS, from previous years, only be considered for tax purposes, linearly, for a period of five years between 2010 and 2014.

At 31 December 2008, deferred tax assets were recognised in the amount of Euro 16.1 million with regard to the securitisation of future receivables completed in December 2008. As a result of that operation, and in accordance with the provisions of Decreto-Lei nº 219/2001 (Decree-Law) of 4 August, an amount of Euro 100 million was generated from that operation and it was added for purposes of determining the taxable income for the year 2008, thereby generating a temporary difference between accounting and taxable income result, which led to the recognition of a deferred tax asset to the extent, that its use was, with reasonable safety, probable at that date. Until 30 September 2013, an amount of Euro 15 million was reversed corresponding to the reversal of the above referred temporary difference. In the period ended at 30 September 2013, these assets are no longer part of the final balance and are recorded in 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)', following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and, subsequently, the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of the telecommunications segment (note 3.d).

At 30 September 2013 and 2012, assessments of the deferred tax assets to be recovered and recognised were made. Potential deferred tax assets were recorded to the extent that future taxable profits were expected to be generated against which the tax losses and deductible tax differences could be used. These assessments were made based on the most recent business plans duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Group companies, which are periodically reviewed and updated. The main criteria used in those business plans are described in note 7.

The rate used at 30 September 2013 and 2012, in Portuguese companies, to calculate the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward was 25%. The rate used to calculate the temporary differences, including provisions not accepted and impairment losses, was 26.5%. It wasn't considered the state surcharge, as it was understood to be unlikely the taxation of temporary differences during the estimated period when the referred rate will be applicable. Tax benefits, related to deductions from taxable income, are considered at 100%, and in some cases, their full acceptance is dependent on the approval of the authorities that concede such tax benefits. For foreign companies was used the rate in force in each country.

In accordance with the tax returns and other information prepared by the companies that have registered deferred tax assets, the detail of such deferred tax assets, by nature, at 30 September 2013 was as follows:

The years 2018 and following are applicable to the subsidiaries incorporated in countries in which the reporting period of tax losses is greater than four years.

The deferred tax liabilities at 30 September 2013 amounting to Euro 59,492 (2012: Euro 1,564,042), result mainly from temporary differences between tax and accounting results of intangible assets.

The movement that occurred in deferred tax liabilities in the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

The reconciliation between the earnings before taxes and the taxes recorded for the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Record of deferred tax liabilities (309,075) -
Income taxation recorded in the period (note 21) (2,752,705) (183,358)

The tax rate used to reconcile the tax expense and the accounting profit was 25% because it is the standard rate of the corporate income tax in Portugal.

Portuguese Tax Authorities can review the income tax returns of the Company and of its subsidiaries with head office in Portugal for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been generated, tax benefits have been granted or when any review, claim or impugnation is in course, in which circumstances, the periods are extended or suspended. Consequently, tax returns of each year, since the year 2009 (inclusive) are still subject to such review. The Board of Directors believes that any correction that may arise as a result of such review would not have a significant impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended at 31 December 2010, the subsidiary (at that date) Optimus was notified of the Report of Tax Inspection, where it considers that it is inappropriate the increase, when calculating the taxable profit for the year 2008, of the amount of Euro 100 million, with respect to initial price of future credits transferred to securitization. The Settlement Note, was receipt on April 2011. Given the principle of periodization of taxable income, Optimus was subsequently notified of the improper deduction of the amount of Euro 20 million in the calculation of taxable income for the years 2009 (Report of the Tax Inspection and tax settlement notice received in December 2011 and January 2012, respectively) and 2010 (Report of the Tax Inspection and the tax settlement notice received in January and May 2013, respectively).

Since the increases made in 2008, was not accepted by not comply with Article 18 of the CIRC, also in the years following, the deduction corresponding to credits generated in that year, will eliminate the calculation of taxable income, to meet the annual amortization hired as part of the operation (20 million per year during 5 years).

Supported by the Company's lawyers and Tax consultants, the Board of Directors believes that there are no liabilities not provisioned in the consolidated financial statements, associated to probable tax contingencies that should have been registered or disclosed in the accompanying financial statements, at 30 September 2013.

The increase of 'Provisions for other liabilities and charges' includes the amount of Euro 819,686 (2012: Euro 1,193,709) recorded in the profit and loss statement, under the caption 'Income taxation' (note 21), the amount of Euro 275,000 related to the dismantling of sites, as foreseen in IAS 16 – Fixed Assets (note 1.c), the amount of Euro 264,220 recorded in the profit and loss statement in 'Other financial expenses' concerning the update of previous provision to dismantling of sites, and the amount of Euro 50,966 (2012: Euro 41,882) recorded in the profit and loss statement, under the caption 'Gains and losses in associated companies and companies jointly controlled' related to the application of the equity method of SIRS (note 20).

The decrease in 'Provisions for other liabilities and charges' includes the amount of Euro 60,008 (2012: Euro 271,942) registered under the caption ' Income Tax' in Profit and Loss Statement (note 21).

The reinforcement and the decrease on 'Accumulated Impairment losses on Inventories' are recorded, on the profit and loss statement, under the caption 'Cost of Sales' (note 1.i)

The heading 'Utilisations' refers, essentially, to the utilisation of provisions registered against entries in customers current accounts and inventories of the subsidiary Optimus – Comunicações S.A., fully subject to impairment losses already recognised in the profit and loss statement .

At 30 September 2013 and 2012, the breakdown of the provisions for other liabilities and charges is as follows:

2013 2012
Several contingencies 2,640,353 4,286,476
Legal processes in progress 423,148 2,126,832
Dismantling 262,361 22,876,101
Indemnities - 665,551
Other responsibilities 933,350 15,014,760
4,259,212 44,969,720

At 30 September 2013 , the value of provisions for the dismantling is recorded at its present value, accordingly with the dates of its utilization (in accordance with IAS 37 – 'Provisions, Contigent Liabilities and Contigent Assets').

The heading 'Several contingencies' relates to contingent liabilities arising from transactions carried out in previous years and for which an outflow of funds is probable.

In relation to the provisions recorded for legal processes in progress and others, given the uncertainty of such proceedings, the Board of Directors is unable to estimate, with reliability, the moment when such provisions will be used and therefore no financial actualisation was carried out.

The heading 'Other responsibilities' corresponds to the value of costs charged to the current period or previous years, for which it is not possible to estimate reliably the time of occurrence of the expense (note 1.r), in the amount of circa Euro 605,000 (circa 12 million in 2012). The variation is due to the derecognition of provisions related to Optimus Comunicações S.A, Be Artis and Be Towering (note 3.d).

On August 2013, the provisions related to the telecommunications segment were derecognized, following the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon and were recorded in 'Discontinued operations (note 3.d)'.

18. Other current financial liabilities

At 30 September 2013, this caption includes the amount of Euro 74,963 (2012: Euro 2,824,681) related to the short term portion of lease contracts (note 16).

At 30 September 2013, the Board of Directors of the Group believes that the decision of the court proceedings and ongoing tax assessments in progress will not have significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements.

24. Information by business segment

The following business segments were identified for the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012:

  • Multimedia;
  • Information systems;
  • Holding activities.

These segments were indentified taking into consideration the following criteria/conditions: the fact of being group units that develop activities where we can separately identify revenues and expenses, for which financial information is separately developed and their operating results are regulary reviewed by management and over which decisions are made. For example, decisions about allocation of resources, for having similar products/services and also taking into consideration the quantitative threshold (in accordance with IFRS 7).

The segment 'Holding activities' includes the operations of the Group companies that have as their main activity the management of shareholdings.

Excluding the ones mentioned above, the remaining activities of the Group have been classified as unallocated.

Inter-segment transactions during the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 were eliminated in the consolidation process. All these transactions were made at market prices.

Inter-segment transfers or transactions were entered under the normal commercial terms and conditions that would also be available to unrelated third parties and were mainly related to interest on treasury applications and management fees.

During the period ended at 30 September 2013, the segment of telecommunications was classified as a discontinued operation, as a result of a merger, by the incorporation of Optimus SGPS in Zon (note 3.d). As set forth by IFRS 5, changes were made in the consolidated profit and loss statements for the period ended at 30 September 2012, in order to disclose a single amount in profit and loss statements related to net income/(loss) of discontinued operations.

Overall information by business segment at 30 September 2013 and 2012, prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, can be summarised as follows:

(1) The adjustments are made for dividends paid and for share capital changes and others adjustments, namely, resulting from a change in the vesting of the MTIP, which may now be made through the purchase of shares with discount.

For Sonaecom's share plans of 2010 and 2012, the responsibility is calculated taking into consideration the share price at award date of each plan. For 2011 Sonaecom shares plan, the Company signed with Sonae-SGPS, S.A. a contract that agrees to the transfer of Sonaecom SGPS shares for employees and board members of the Group as requested of Sonaecom and under the MTIP of Sonaecom, and the liabilities are calculated based on the price fixed in the contract. The responsibility for the three share plans was recorded under the heading 'Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserve'. For the Sonae SGPS share plans, the Group entered into hedging contracts with external entities and the liabilities are calculated based on the prices agreed in those contracts . For Zon Optimus's share plans, the responsibility was calculated taking into account the share price at the last day of period. The responsibility of these plans is recorded under the headings of 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities'.

The detail of the aforementioned hedging contracts is as follows:

Sonae SGPS shares Sonaecom shares
2010 Plan 2011 Plan 2012 Plan 2011 Plan
Notional value 257.574 323.727 268.451 492.439

28. Subsequent Events

On 23 October 2013, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. informed Sonaecom about the completion of a qualifying holding of 2.12% in Sonaecom, corresponding to 7,780,349 shares and voting rights.

On 29 October 2013, Sonaecom has announced to make a partial and voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of a maximum of 88,479,803 shares representing 24.16% of its own share capital.This transaction takes place after the merger of Optimus SGPS, S.A. and Zon Multimédia, SGPS, S.A., of which resulted Zon Optimus SGPS, S.A., in which Sonaecom, as a previous Optimus shareholder, became thereinafter the direct holder of 37,489,324 shares representing 7.28% of the share capital and voting rights of Zon Optimus and the indirect joint holder of 50.01% of the share capital and voting rights in Zon Optimus, through the 50% equity holding in Zopt, SGPS, S.A..

Sonaecom has the intention to accordingly give the option to its shareholders to sell, in equal standing conditions, their Sonaecom shares for consideration of the directly held 37,489,324 Zon Optimus shares, which are not necessary to the pursuit of Sonaecom's business purposes, thereby enabling direct exposure of Sonaecom shareholders to Zon Optimus, the reference asset of Sonaecom portfolio.

Sonaecom offers an overall price equivalent to Euro 2.45 per Sonaecom share, to be composed of Zon Optimus shares and, where applicable, a remaining cash amount, which represents a premium, per Sonaecom share, of circa: 10% over Sonaecom share closing price at 28 October 2013 and over the average weighted closing price of the last 30 days; 24% by reference to the last 90 days average weighted closing price of Sonaecom share; and 17% in relation to Sonaecom share average target price of Euro 2.10. For determining the Sonaecom/Zon Optimus share trade ratio, it was taken into consideration Zon Optimus share average weighed closing price of the last 5 trading days, which was that of Euro 5.08 per Zon Optimus share.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 November 2013.

These financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS / IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the format and disclosures required by those Standards, some of which may not conform to or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.

6.4. Notes to the individual financial statements

SONAECOM, SGPS, S.A., (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company' or 'Sonaecom') was established on 6 June 1988, under the name Sonae – Tecnologias de Informação, S.A. and has its head office at Lugar de Espido, Via Norte, Maia – Portugal.

Pargeste, SGPS, S.A.'s subsidiaries in the communications and information technology area were transferred to the Company through a demerger-merger process, executed by public deed dated 30 September 1997.

On 3 November 1999, the Company's share capital was increased, its Articles of Association were modified and its name was changed to Sonae.com, SGPS, S.A.. Since then the Company's corporate object has been the management of investments in other companies. Also on 3 November 1999, the Company's share capital was re-denominated to euro, being represented by one hundred and fifty million shares with a nominal value of 1 Euro each.

On 1 June 2000, the Company carried out a Combined Share Offer, involving the following:

  • A Retail Share Offer of 5,430,000 shares, representing 3.62% of the share capital, made in the domestic market and aimed at: (i) employees of the Sonae Group; (ii) customers of the companies controlled by Sonaecom; and (iii) the general public;
  • An Institutional Offering for sale of 26,048,261 shares, representing 17.37% of the share capital, aimed at domestic and foreign institutional investors.

In addition to the Combined Share Offer, the Company's share capital was increased under the terms explained below. The new shares were fully subscribed for and paid up by Sonae-, SGPS, S.A. (a Shareholder of Sonaecom, hereinafter referred to as 'Sonae'). The capital increase was subscribed for and paid up on the date the price of the Combined Share Offer was determined, and paid up in cash, 31,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1 Euro each being issued. The subscription price for the new shares was the same as that fixed for the sale of shares in the aforementioned Combined Share Offer, which was Euro 10.

In addition, Sonae sold, in that year, 4,721,739 Sonaecom shares under an option granted to the banks leading the Institutional Offer for Sale and 1,507,865 shares to Sonae Group managers and to the former owners of the companies acquired by Sonaecom.

By decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on 17 June 2002, Sonaecom's share capital was increased from Euro 181,000,000 to Euro 226,250,000 by public subscription reserved for the existing Shareholders, 45,250,000 new shares of 1 Euro each having been fully subscribed for and paid up at the price of Euro 2.25 per share.

On 30 April 2003, the company's name was changed by public deed to Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A..

By decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on 12 September 2005, Sonaecom's share capital was increased by Euro 70,276,868, from Euro 226,250,000 to Euro 296,526,868, by the issuance of 70,276,868 new shares of 1 Euro each and with a share premium of Euro 242,455,195, fully subscribed by France Telecom. The corresponding public deed was executed on 15 November 2005.

By decision of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on 18 September 2006, Sonaecom's share capital was increased by Euro 69,720,000, to Euro 366,246,868, by the issuance of 69,720,000 new shares of 1 Euro each and with a share premium of Euro 275,657,217, subscribed by 093X – Telecomunicações Celulares, S.A. (EDP) and Parpública – Participações Públicas, SGPS, S.A. (Parpública). The corresponding public deed was executed on 18 October 2006.

By decision of the Shareholders General Meeting held on 16 April 2008, bearer shares were converted into registered shares.

The financial statements are presented in euro, rounded at unit.

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, based on the Company's accounting records in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU), and taking into account the IAS 34 – 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

The adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union occurred for the first time in 2007 and as defined by IFRS 1 – 'First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards', 1 January 2006 was the date of transition from generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal to those standards.

For Sonaecom, there are no differences between IFRS as adopted by European Union and IFRS published by the International Accounting Standards Board, with the exception of the start dates of the adoption of the standards indicated below.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been approved (endorsed) by the European Union and have mandatory application to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and were first adopted in the period ended at 30 September 2013:

S tandard / Interpretatio n E ffective date (annual
periods beginning on
o r after)
IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) 1-Jan-13
It will improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing, for the first
time, a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs.
IAS 12 - Amendments (Deferred tax: Recovery 1-Jan-12 (*)
of Underlying Assets)
The amendment introduces, in the case of investment properties
measured using the fair value model, the presumption that recovery of the
carrying amount will normally be through sale, in order to determine their
tax impact. As a result of the amendments, SIC 21 - 'Income
Taxes—Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets' would no longer
apply to investment properties carried at fair value. The amendments also
incorporate into IAS 12 the remaining guidance previously contained in SIC
21, which is accordingly withdrawn.
IAS 19 - Amendments (Employee Benefits) 1-Jan-13
The amendments make important improvements by eliminating an option
to defer the recognition of gains and losses, known as the 'corridor method',
improving comparability and faithfulness of presentation, streamlining the
presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit
plans and enhancing the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans.
IAS 1 - Amendments (Presentation of Items of 1-Jul-12
Other Comprehensive Income)
The amendments to IAS 1 require companies preparing financial
statements in accordance with IFRSs to group together items within OCI.
IFRS 7 - Admendments (Disclosures of 1-Jan-13
Financial Instruments)
The amendments require additional disclosures regarding financial
instruments, particularly, information about those subject to
compensation agreements and similars.
IFRIC 20 (Stripping Costs in the Production 1-Jan-13
Phase of a Surface Mine)
The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping should lead to the
recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both
initially and in subsequent periods.
IFRS 1 - Amendments (Government Loans)
The amendments referred to the Government Loans addresses how a first
1-Jan-13
time adopters would account for a government loan with a below-market
rate of interest when transitioning to IFRS and proposes to permit
prospective application of IAS 20 requirements.
Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011) 1-Jan-13
The IASB finalise its annual improvements publication corresponding to the
2009-2011 cycle including six amendments to five IFRSs. The annual
improvements process provides a mechanism for non urgent but
necessary amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards

(IFRSs) to be grouped together and issued in one package.

Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)

The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and also provide additional transition relief in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Furthermore, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, the amendments will remove the requirement to present comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied.

(*) In accordance with the Regulation which approves the amendment to IAS 12, an entity shall use this standard no later than periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The early adoption is however permitted.

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

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

S tandard / Interpretatio n E ffective date (annual
periods beginning on
o r after)
IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) 1-Jan-13(**)
Builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the
consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard
provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where
this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements) 1-Jan-13(**)
Provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on
the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form (as
is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies in the
reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to account for
interests in jointly controlled entities.
IFRS 12 (Disclosures of Interests in Other 1-Jan-13(**)
Entities)
New and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms
of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates,
special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
IAS 27 (Separate Financial Statements) 1-Jan-13(**)
Consolidation requirements previously forming part of IAS 27 have been
revised and are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements.
IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint 1-Jan-13(**)
Ventures)
The objective of IAS 28 (as amended in 2011) is to prescribe the accounting
for investments in associates and to set out the requirements for the
application of the equity method when accounting for investments in

associates and joint ventures.

(**) In accordance with the EU Regulation which approves the adoption of IFRS 10, 11 and 12 and the amendments to IAS 27 and IAS 28, an entity shall adopt these standards in the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The early adoption is however permitted.

These standards, although endorsed by the European Union, were not adopted by the Company for the period ended at 30 September 2013, since their application is not yet mandatory.

The application of these standards and interpretations, as applicable to the Company will have no material effect on future statements of the Company.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not yet been approved (endorsed) by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements:

novated as a result of laws or regulations.
IFRIC 21 Levies (Levies Charged by Public 1-Jan-14
Authorities on Entities that Operate in a

This interpretation clarifies on when a liability to pay a levy imposed by a
government (does not include income taxes - see IAS 12 Income taxes)
should be recognised by an entity. IFRIC 21 identifies that the obligating
event that gives rise to a liability is the activity that triggers the payment of

the levy in accordance with the relevant legislation.

These standards have not yet been approved ('endorsed') by the European Union and, as such, were not adopted by the Company for the period ended at 30 September 2013. Their application is not yet mandatory.

It is predicted that the application of these standards and interpretations, as applicable to the Company will have no material effect on future financial statements of the Company.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Company at 30 September 2013 are comparable with those used in the preparation of the individual financial statements at 31 December 2012.

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

a) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis as from the date the assets are available for use in the necessary conditions to operate as intended by the management, by a corresponding charge to the profit and loss statement caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'.

Impairment losses detected in the realisation value of tangible assets are recorded in the period in which they arise, by a corresponding charge to the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation' of the profit and loss statement.

The annual depreciation rates used correspond to the estimated useful life of the assets, which are as follows:

Years of useful life
Buildings and others constructions –
improvements in buildings owned by third parties 5-20
Plant and machinery 5-8
Fixtures and fittings 3-8
Vehicles 4

Current maintenance and repair costs of tangible assets are recorded as costs in the period in which they occur. Improvements of significant amount, which increase the estimated useful life of the assets, are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised, if it is likely that they will bring future economic benefits to the Company, if the Company controls them and if their cost can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets correspond, essentially, to software and industrial property.

Amortisations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis, over the estimated useful life of the assets (three to six years) as from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation'.

c) Investments in Group companies and other non-current assets

Investments in companies in which the Company has direct or indirect voting rights at Shareholders' General Meetings in excess of 50% or in which it has control over the financial and operating policies are recorded under the caption 'Investments in Group companies', at their acquisition cost, in accordance with IAS 27, as Sonaecom presents, separately, consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS.

Loans and supplementary capital granted to affiliated companies with maturities, estimated or defined contractually, greater than one year, are recorded, at their nominal value, under the caption 'Other non-current assets'.

Investments and loans granted to Group companies are evaluated whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount may not be recoverable or impairment losses recorded in previous years no longer exist.

Impairment losses estimated for investments and loans granted to Group companies are recorded, in the period that they are estimated, under the caption 'Other financial expenses' in the profit and loss statement.

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of investments in Group companies are recorded as cost when they are incurred.

d) Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments in Joint Ventures (companies in which the Company has, direct or indirect, 50% of the voting rights in the Shareholders' General Meeting of or in which it has the control over the financial and operating policies), are recorded under the caption 'Investments in joint ventures', at acquisition cost in accordance with IAS 27, as such, Sonaecom presents, separately, consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS.

Loans and supplementary capital granted to companies jointly controlled , with maturities, estimated or defined

contractually, greater than one year, are recorded, at their nominal value, under the caption 'Other non-current assets'. Investments and loans granted to joint ventures are evaluated whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount may not be recoverable or impairment losses recorded in previous years no longer exist.

Impairment losses estimated for investments and loans granted to joint ventures are recorded, in the period that they are estimated, under the caption 'Other financial expenses' in the profit and loss statement.

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of investments in joint ventures are recorded as cost when they are incurred.

e) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss', 'loans and receivables', 'held-to-maturity investments', and 'available-for-sale financial assets'. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

The classification of the investments is determined at the initial recognition and re-evaluated every quarter.

(i) 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if the adoption of this method allows reducing or eliminating an accounting mismatch. Derivatives are also registered as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(ii) 'Loans and receivables'

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These financial investments arise when the Company provides money or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, deducted from any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when its maturity is greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date, a situation in which they are classified as noncurrent assets.

(iii) 'Held-to-maturity investments'

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed maturities that the Company's management has the positive intention and ability to hold until their maturity.

(iv) 'Available-for-sale financial assets'

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative investments that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other above referred categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose them within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on tradedate – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. The 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are initially recognised at fair value and the transaction costs are recorded in the income statement. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or transferred, and consequently all substantial risks and rewards of their ownership have been transferred.

'Available-for-sale financial assets' and 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are subsequently carried at fair value.

'Loans and receivables' and 'Held-to-maturity investments' are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the income statement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit and loss statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to similar instruments, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances. If none of these valuation techniques can be used, the Company values these investments at acquisition cost net of any identified impairment losses. The fair value of listed investments is determined based on the closing Euronext share price at the balance sheet date.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant decline (above 25%) or prolonged decline (during two consecutive quarters) in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment losses on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss statement – is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss statement. Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss statement on equity securities are not reversed through the profit and loss statement.

f) Financial and operational leases

Lease contracts are classified as financial leases, if, in substance, all risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased asset are transferred by the lease contract or as operational leases, if, in substance, there is no transfer of risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased assets.

The lease contracts are classified as financial or operational in accordance with the substance and not with the form of the respective contracts.

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

Assets under long-term rental contracts are recorded in accordance with the operational lease method. In accordance with this method, the rents paid are recognised as an expense, over the rental period.

g) Other current debtors

Other current debtors are recorded at their net realisable value, and do not include interest, because the financial updated effect is not significant.

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

The amount relating to this caption is presented net of any impairment losses, which are recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Provisions and impairment

losses'. Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses'.

h) Cash and cash equivalents

Amounts included under the caption 'Cash and cash equivalents' correspond to amounts held in cash and term bank deposits and other treasury applications where the risk of any change in value is insignificant.

The cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7 –'Statement of Cash Flow', using the direct method. The Company classifies, under the caption 'Cash and cash equivalents', investments that mature in less than three months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. The caption 'Cash and cash equivalents' in the cash flow statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in the balance sheet caption 'Short-term loans and other loans'.

The cash flow statement is classified by operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include payments to personnel and other captions relating to operating activities.

Cash flows from investing activities include the acquisition and sale of investments in associated and subsidiary companies and receipts and payments resulting from the purchase and sale of tangible assets.

Cash flows from financing activities include payments and receipts relating to loans obtained and finance lease contracts.

All amounts included under this caption are likely to be realised in the short term and there are no amounts given or pledged as guarantee.

i) Loans

Loans are recorded as liabilities by the 'amortised cost'. Any expenses incurred in setting up loans are recorded as a deduction to the nominal debt and recognised during the period of the financing, based on the effective interest rate method. The interests incurred but not yet due are added to the loans caption until their payment.

j) Financial expenses relating to loans obtained

Financial expenses relating to loans obtained are generally recognised as expenses at the time they are incurred. Financial expenses related to loans obtained for the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. These expenses are capitalised starting from the time of preparation for the construction or development of the asset and are interrupted when the assets are ready to operate, at the end of the production or construction phases or when the associated project is suspended.

k) Derivatives

The Company only uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge against such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

The cash flow hedges used by the Company are related to:

(i) Interest rate swaps operations to hedge against interest rate risks on loans obtained. The amounts, interest payment dates and repayment dates of the underlying interest rate swaps are similar in all respects to the conditions established for the contracted loans. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in assets or liabilities, against a corresponding entry under the caption 'Hedging reserves' in Shareholders' funds.

(ii) Forward's exchange rate for hedging foreign exchange risk. The values and times periods involved are identical to the amounts invoiced and their maturities.

In cases where the hedge instrument is not effective, the amounts that arise from the adjustments to fair value are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement.

At 30 of September 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any derivative, beyond those mentioned in note 1.t).

l) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Company has a present obligation (either legal or implicit) resulting from a past event, the resolution of which is likely to involve the disbursement of funds by an amount that can be reasonably estimated.

Provisions are reviewed at the balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date.

Provisions for restructurings are only registered if the Company has a detailed plan and if that plan has already been communicated to the parties involved.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes, except if the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes when future economic benefits are likely to occur.

m) Income Tax

'Income tax' expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12 – 'Income Tax'.

Sonaecom has adopted, since 1 January 2008, the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, under which, the provision for income tax is determined on the basis of the estimated taxable income of all the companies covered by that regime, in accordance with such rules. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all subsidiaries on which the group holds at least 90% of their share capital, with its headquarters located in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC).

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits shall arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each period, the recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets are revised and they are reduced whenever their realisation ceases to be probable, or increased if future taxable profits are likely enabling the recovery of such assets (note 9).

Deferred taxes are calculated with the tax rate that is expected to be in effect at the time the asset or liability is realised.

Whenever deferred taxes derive from assets or liabilities directly registered in Shareholders' funds, its recording is also made under the Shareholders' funds caption. In all other situations, deferred taxes are always registered in the profit and loss statement.

n) Accrual basis and revenue recognition

Expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. Estimated amounts are used when actual amounts are not known.

The captions 'Other non-current assets', 'Other current assets', 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' include expenses and income relating to the current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods. The latter shall be included by the corresponding amount in the results of the periods to which they relate to.

The costs attributable to current period and whose expenses will only occur in future periods are estimated and recorded under the caption 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other noncurrent liabilities', when it is possible to estimate reliably the amount and the timing of occurrence of the expense. If there is uncertainty regarding both the date of disbursement of funds, and the amount of the obligation, the value is classified as Provisions (note 1.l)).

Non-current financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and, in each period, the financial actualisation of the fair Dividends are recognised when the Shareholders' rights to receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

o) Balance sheet classification

Assets and liabilities due in more than one year from the date of the balance sheet are classified, respectively, as noncurrent assets and non-current liabilities.

In addition, considering their nature, the deferred taxes and the provisions for other liabilities and charges, are classified as non-current assets and liabilities (notes 9 and 15).

p) Reserves

Legal reserve

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

Share premiums

The share premiums relate to premiums generated in the issuance of capital or in capital increases. According to Portuguese law, share premiums follow the same requirements of 'Legal reserves', ie, they are not distributable, except in case of liquidation, but they can be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted or to increase share capital.

Medium-term incentive plans reserves

According to IFRS 2 – 'Share based payment', the responsibility related with the equity settled plans is registered, as a credit, under the caption of Medium Term Incentive Plan Reserves, which are not distributable and which cannot be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

Hedging reserve reflects the changes in fair value of 'cash flow' hedges derivatives that are considered effective (note 1.k)) and it is non-distributable nor can it be used to absorb losses.

Own shares reserve

The own shares reserve reflects the acquisition value of the own shares and follows the same requirements of legal reserves.

Therefore, at 30 September 2013, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., didn't have free reserves distributable.

q) Own shares

Own shares are recorded as a deduction of Shareholders' funds. Gains or losses related to the sale of own shares are recorded under the caption 'Other reserves'.

r) Foreign currency

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were translated into Euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet.

Favourable and unfavourable foreign exchange differences resulting from changes in the rates in force at transaction date and those in force at the date of collection, payment or at the balance sheet date are recorded as income and expenses in the profit and loss statement of the period, in financial results.

The following rates were used for the translation into Euro:

2013 2012
30 30
September Average September Average
Pounds Sterling 1.1961 1.1740 1.2531 1.2321
Swiss franc 0.8180 0.8121 0.8265 0.8303
Swedish krona 0.1155 0.1166 0.1184 0.1146
American Dollar 0.7405 0.7597 0.7734 0.7812

s) Assets impairment

Impairment tests are performed at the date of each balance sheet and whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Whenever the book value of an asset is greater than the amount recoverable, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption 'Depreciation and amortisation' in the case of fixed assets, under the caption 'Other financial expenses' in the case of financial investments or under the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses', in relation to the other assets. The amount recoverable is the greater of the net selling price and the value of use. Net selling price is the amount obtained upon the sale of an asset in a transaction within the capability of the parties involved, less the costs directly related to the sale. The value of use is the present amount of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and of its sale at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

For financial investments, the recoverable amount, calculated in terms of value in use, is determined based on last business plans duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Evidence of the existence of impairment in accounts receivables appears when:

  • the counterparty presents significant financial difficulties;
  • there are significant delays in interest payments and in other leading payments from the counterparty;
  • it is possible that the debtor goes into liquidation or into a financial restructuring.

t) Medium-term incentive plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 – 'Share-based Payments'.

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by the Company involves the delivery of Sonaecom's own shares, the estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, under the caption 'Reserves – Medium Term Incentive Plans', within the caption 'Shareholders' funds' and is charged as an expense under the caption 'Staff expenses' in the profit and loss statement.

The quantification of this responsibility is based on its fair value at the attribution date and is recognised over the vesting period of each plan (from the award date of the plan until its vesting or settlement date). The total responsibility, at any point in time, is calculated based on the proportion of the vesting period that has 'elapsed' up to the respective accounting date.

When the responsibilities associated with any plan are covered by a hedging contract, ie, when those responsibilities are replaced by a fixed amount payable to a third party and when Sonaecom is no longer the party that will deliver the Sonaecom shares, at the settlement date of each plan, the above accounting treatment is subject to the following changes:

  • (i) The total gross fixed amount payable to third parties is recorded in the balance sheet as either 'Other non-current liabilities' or 'Other current liabilities';
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the 'unelapsed' proportion of the cost of each plan) is deferred and is recorded, in the balance sheet as either 'Other noncurrent assets' or 'Other current assets';
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate the original entry to 'Shareholders' funds';
  • (iv) In the profit and loss statement, the 'elapsed' proportion continues to be charged as an expense under the caption 'Staff expenses'.

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded under the balance sheet captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' by a corresponding entry to the income statement caption 'Staff expenses', for the cost

relating to the vesting period that has 'elapsed' up to the respective accounting date. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

When the liability is covered by a hedging contract, recognition is made in the same way as described above, but with the liability being quantified based on the contractually fixed amount.

Equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is recorded under the balance sheet captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' by a corresponding entry to the income statement caption 'Staff expenses', for the cost relating to the deferred period elapsed. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

For 2011 Sonaecom shares plan, the Company signed with Sonae-SGPS, S.A., a contract that agrees to the transfer of Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. shares for employees and board members of the Group as requested by Sonaecom and under the MTIP of Sonaecom and fixed the shares' acquisition price. The remaining Sonaecom share plans are covered through the detention of own shares. The impacts associated to the Medium Term Incentive Plans are registered, in the balance sheet, under the caption 'Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserve'. The cost is recognized under the profit and loss statement caption 'Staff expenses'.

Regarding the plans liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company, the company entered into hedging contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed. Therefore, the responsibility is recorded based on that fixed price, proportionally to the period of time elapsed since the award date until the date of record, under the captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities'. The cost is recognized on the income statement under the caption 'Staff expenses'.

u) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the date of the balance sheet which provide additional information about conditions prevailing at the time of the balance sheet (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide information on post-balance sheet conditions (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

v) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements of the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 include mainly impairment analysis of assets, particularly financial investments in Group companies.

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of financial statements and are based on the best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are not controlled by the Company neither foreseeable, some could occur and have impact on the estimates. Changes to the estimates used by the management that occur after the approval date of these financial statements, will be recognised in net income, in accordance with IAS 8 – 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', using a prospective methodology.

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

x) Financial risk management

The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

These risks arise from the unpredictability of financial markets, which affect the capacity to project cash flows and profits. The Company's financial risk management, subject to a long-term ongoing perspective, seeks to minimise potential adverse effects that derive from that uncertainty, using, every time it is possible and advisable, derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to such risks (note 1.k)).

Market risk

a) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk management seeks to minimise the volatility of investments and transactions made in foreign currency and contributes to reduce the sensitivity of results to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Whenever possible, the Company uses natural hedges to manage exposure, by offsetting credits granted and credits received expressed in the same currency. When such procedure is not possible, the Company adopts derivative financial hedging instruments (note 1. j)).

Considering the reduced values of assets and liabilities in foreign currency, the impact of a change in exchange rate will not have significant impacts on the financial statements.

b) Interest rate risk

Sonaecom's total debt is indexed to variable rates, exposing the total cost of debt to a high risk of volatility. The impact of this volatility in the Company results or in its Shareholders´ funds is mitigated by the effect of the following factors: (i) relatively low level of financial leverage; (ii) possibility to use derivative instruments that hedge the interest rate risk, as mentioned below; (iii) possible correlation between the level of market interest rates and economic growth the latter having a positive effect in other lines of the Company's results, and in this way partially offsetting the increase of financial costs

('natural hedge'); and (iv) the existence of stand alone or consolidated liquidity which is also bearing interest at a variable rate.

The Company only uses derivatives or similar transactions to hedge interest rate risks considered significant. Three main principles are followed in all instruments selected and used to hedge interest rate risk:

  • For each derivative or instrument used to hedge a specific loan, the interest payment dates on the loans subject to hedging must equalise the settlement dates defined under the hedging instrument;
  • Perfect match between the base rates: the base rate used in the derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that of the facility / transaction which is being hedged;
  • As from the start of the transaction, the maximum cost of the debt, resulting from the hedging operation is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in market interest rates, so that the resulting rates are within the cost of the funds considered in the Company's business plan.

As all Sonaecom's borrowings (note 13) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used to hedge future changes in cash flow relating to interest payments, when it is considered necessary. Interest rate swaps have the financial effect of converting the respective borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with third parties (banks) to exchange, in predetermined periods, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed contract rate and the floating rate at the time of re-fixing, by reference to the respective agreed notional amounts.

The counterparties of the derivative hedging instruments are limited to highly rated financial institutions, being the Company's policy, when contracting such instruments, to give preference to financial institutions that form part of its financing transactions.

In order to select the counterparty for occasional operations, Sonaecom requests proposals and indicative prices from a representative number of banks in order to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.

In determining the fair value of hedging operations, the Company uses certain methods, such as option valuation and discounted future cash flow models, using assumptions based on market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Comparative financial institution quotes for the specific or similar instruments are used as a benchmark for the valuation.

The fair value of the derivatives contracted, that are considered as fair value hedges or the ones that are considered not sufficiently effective for cash flow hedge (in accordance with the provisions established in IAS 39 –

'Financial Instruments'), are recognised under borrowings captions and changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognised directly in the profit and loss statement for the period. The fair value of derivatives of cash flow hedge, that are considered effective according to IAS 39 – 'Financial Instruments', are recognised under borrowing captions and changes in the fair value are recognised in equity.

Sonaecom's Board of Directors approves the terms and conditions of the financing with significant impact in the Company, based on the analysis of the debt structure, the risks and the different options in the market, particularly as to the type of interest rate (fixed / variable). Under the policy defined above, the Executive Committee is responsible for the decision on the occasional interest rate hedging contracts, through the monitoring of the conditions and alternatives existing in the market.

Liquidity risk

The existence of liquidity in the Company requires the definition of some policies for an efficient and secure management of the liquidity, allowing us to maximise the profitability and to minimise the opportunity costs related with that liquidity.

The liquidity risk management has a threefold objective: (i) Liquidity, ie, to ensure the permanent access in the most efficient way to obtain sufficient funds to settle current payments in the respective dates of maturity as well as any eventual not forecasted requests for funds, in the deadlines set for this; (ii) Safety, ie, to minimise the probability of default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial efficiency, ie, to ensure that the Company maximises the value / minimise the opportunity cost of holding excess liquidity in the short term.

The main underlying policies correspond to the variety of instruments allowed, the maximum acceptable level of risk, the maximum amount of exposure by counterparty and the maximum periods for investments.

The existing liquidity should be applied to the alternatives and by the order described below:

  • (i) Amortisation of short-term debt after comparing the opportunity cost of amortisation and the opportunity cost related to alternative investments;
  • (ii) Consolidated management of liquidity the existing liquidity in Group companies, should mainly be applied in Group companies, to reduce the use of bank debt at a consolidated level;
  • (iii) Applications in the market.

The applications in the market are limited to eligible counterparties, with ratings previously established by the Board and limited to certain maximum amounts by counterparty.

The definition of maximum amounts intends to assure that the application of liquidity in excess is made in a prudent way and taking into consideration the best practices in terms of bank relationships.

The maturity of applications should equalise the forecasted payments (or the applications should be easily convertible, in case of asset investments, to allow urgent and not estimated payments), considering a threshold for eventual deviations on the estimates. The threshold depends on the accuracy level of treasury estimates and would be determined by the business. The accuracy of the treasury estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity of each class of financial liabilities is presented in note 13.

Credit risk

The Company's exposure to credit risk is mainly associated with the accounts receivable related to current operational activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Company only negotiates with entities with high credit quality.

The management of this risk seeks to guarantee that the amounts owing are effectively collected within the periods negotiated without affecting the financial health of the Company.

The amounts included in the financial statements related to other current debtors, net of impairment losses, represent the maximum exposure of the Company to credit risk.

Considering the nature of the balances, the amounts to be paid and received to / from 'State and other public entities', as well as the specialized costs with share plans were considered outside the scope of IFRS 7. Also, the deferred income and deferred costs under the captions 'Other current assets', 'Other current liabilities' , Other non-current assets' and 'Other non-current liabilities' were considered as non-financial instrument.

The Sonaecom's Board of Directors believes that, the fair value of the breakdown of financial instruments recorded at amortised cost or registered at the present value of the payments does not differ significantly from their book value. This decision is based in the contractual terms of each financial instrument.

Following the announcement made, on 14 December 2012, between Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., Kento Holding Limited and Jadeium BV (currently named Unitel International Holdings, BV, collectively referred to as 'Kento/Jadeium'), of having reached an agreement to recommend to the Boards of Zon Multimédia – Serviços de Telecomunicações e Multimédia, SGPS, S.A. ('Zon') and Optimus SGPS, SA a merger between the two companies, on 11 January 2013, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. ('Sonaecom') carried out a capital increase in kind, transferring 81.807% of its financial participation in Optimus SGPS, S.A. to ZOPT,SGPS, S.A. (vehicle used for this purpose), conditional upon completion of the merger.

Thus, following the above mentioned agreement, on 27 August 2013, and after fulfilling all the remedies required to the operation, the merger was closed. Sonaecom considers this to be the date on which Zopt took control of Zon Optimus. Accordingly, in the same day, it was registered the capital increase in kind with the transference of 81.807% Sonaecom's financial participation in Optimus SGPS, S.A. to ZOPT,SGPS, S.A ('Zopt') (note 6). As a consequence, Sonaecom held a 50% stake in Zopt, as well as shareholder loans to be received from Zopt amounting to Euro 230 million (note 8), which would later be reduced to Euro 115 million (notes 8 and 18). Additionally, the remaining stake of 18.193% in Optimus SGPS, was converted into a minority stake of 7.28% in Zon Optimus (note 7).

Resulting from a 'Shareholders Agreement' between the parties involved in the merger, Sonacom and Kento/Jadeium Group agreed not to acquire any shares of Zon Optimus, with the exception of the shares acquired by Sonaecom as a result of the operation. For this reason, the 'Shareholders Agreement' also foresees that after 2 years from the date of the formal closing of the merger, and for a period of three months, the Group Kento / Jadeium may exercise a call option over half of the shares of Zon Optimus that Sonaecom holds at the date of the exercise of call option, at a price equal to the weighted average price of the previous month.

After the share capital increase of Zopt and the closing of the merger between Optimus SGPS and Zon, Sonaecom derecognised an investment in Optimus SGPS amounting to Euro 1,006 million and the supplementary capital amounting to Euro 144.6 million (note 8). Sonaecom has also recognized an investment in Zopt amounting to Euro 598 million 1 (note 6), loans to be received from Zopt amounting Euro 230 million and an investment registered at fair value through Zon Optimus shares (the conversion of 20,921,650 Optimus SGPS shares, representing 18.193% of the share capital, to 37,489,324 Zon Optimus shares, representing 7.28% of the share capital), at the market price of 27 August 2013 (date of the closing of the merger), amounting to Euro 156 million (note 7).

1 The Zopt participation of 598 million euros (598 = ((2.850 X 50,01% )-230)X 50%) results from the valuation of the holding of Zopt in Zon Optimus, amounting to 2,850 million euros. This corresponds to the sum of the valuation of the capital increase in Zopt by Zon and Optimus (the valuation was made by the entities involved in the capital increase and the merger project) in 2,500 million euros and the minimum synergies estimated, disclosed in the merger project in the amount of 350 million euros, deducted from loans totaling 230 million euros. It was decided that Zon market price at the date of the closing of the merger didn't reflected the fair value of Zon Optimus (the argument for not using the Zon share price at the date of the close of the merger, as abovementioned, is proven by the positive evolution of Zon Optimus share price since the date of the merger until the date of this document (2,638 million euros versus 2,141, price at 27 August 2013, merger date). For this reason, the market capitalization of Zon was not considered as a reference for valuing the Zopt investment. The valuation of Zon and Optimus was based on internally and analysts' projections, regarding the main economic indicators, including operating results and investment. For this purpose, was used a weighted average cost of capital of 9.5% and growth rate of 3%.

Thus, as a result of the derecognition of the investment in Optimus SGPS, the recognition of the investments in Zopt and Zon Optimus, and the loans to be received from Zopt, it was registered a capital loss of 167 million euros (note 18).

In the period ended at 30 September 2013, the amounts of Euro 7,624,774 and Euro 6,489,365 under the caption 'Additions' in PCJ and Público, respectively, relates to increases of share capital and the amount of Euro 1,146,145 in Miauger relates to an increase of capital to cover losses, by conversion of supplementary capital to share capital.

Considering that this increase has been offset by an equal decrease in 'Other non-current assets', the net exposure to these investments did not change in the period ended at 30 September 2013.

In the period ended at 30 September 2012, Sonaecom sold the entire share capital of its subsidiaries Be Artis and Sontária to Optimus SGPS, a company fully owned by Sonaecom at that date. The participations were sold for the amount of Euro 456 million and Euro 9 million respectively, including share capital, loans and supplementary capital (note 7), generating a loss of circa Euro 363 thousand (note 18).

In the period ended at 30 September 2012, the amounts of Euro 14,943,304, Euro 3,243,735 and Euro 3,501,771 under the caption 'Additions' in Be Artis, Público and PCJ, respectively, relates to an increase of capital to cover losses. The amount of Euro 50,000 under the caption 'Additions' at Sonaecom SP, relates to the constitution of Sonaecom Serviços Partilhados, S.A., wholly owned by Sonaecom.

The variation in 'Impairment losses', in the period ended at 30 September 2013, result from the increase made in the amount of Euro 10,000 (note 15) and the transfer of Euro 14,838,738 to the caption 'Other non-current assets' (note 8 and 15). In the period ended at 30 September 2012, the variation in 'Impairment losses' result, mainly, from the transfer of Euro 6,393,735 to the caption 'Other noncurrent assets' (note 8)

In September 2012, the additions and disposals occurred in Optimus SGPS and Optimus, respectively, are referred to Optimus SGPS capital increase. This capital increase was fully subscribed by Sonaecom, through contributions in kind, specifically the delivery of 64.14% of the share capital of Optimus – Comunicações, S.A. Following this transaction, Optimus SGPS (wholly owned by Sonaecom at that date) holds the entire capital of Optimus – Comunicações, S.A.

The Company presents separate consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2013, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS / IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, which presents total consolidated assets of Euro 1,196,165,305 total consolidated liabilities of Euro 92,577,755, consolidated operational revenues of Euro 89,296,101 and consolidated Shareholders' funds of Euro 1,103,587,550 including a consolidated net profit (attributable to the Shareholders of the parent company – Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A.) for the period ended at 30 September 2013 of Euro 68,059,413.

(a) Company established in December 2012

The evaluation of the existence of impairment losses for the main investments in the Group companies is made by taking into account the cash-generating units, based on most up-to-date business plans duly approved by their Board of Directors, which are made on an annual basis unless there is evidence of impairment and prepared according to projected cash flows for periods of five years. In the area of information systems, the assumptions used are essentially based on the various businesses of the Group and the growth of the several geographic areas where the Group operates. The discount rates used were based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which depends on the business segment of each subsidiary, and are as indicated in the table below. In perpetuity, is considered a growth rate of circa 3%. In situations where the measurement of the existence, or not, of impairment is made based on the net selling price, values of similar transactions and other proposals made are used. Regarding the area of telecommunications (Zopt), since it is a recent transaction, was not made an impairment evaluation.

At 30 September 2013 and 2012 the value of deferred tax assets not recorded where it is not expected that sufficient taxable profits will be generated in the future to cover those losses, have the following detail:

2013 2012
Tax losses 45,918,287 71,433,393
Provisions not acceptable for tax purposes, impairment losses and others 117,507,752 96,864,589
Total 163,426,039 168,297,982
Deferred tax assets 42,619,125 43,527,464

2007 11,479,572 13,640,901
11,479,572 17,858,348

The rate used at 30 September 2013 to calculate the deferred tax assets/liabilities was of 25% relating to tax losses carried forward, and of 26.5% for remaining deferred tax assets and liabilities. It wasn't considered the state surcharge, as it was understood to be unlikely the taxation of temporary differences during the estimated period when the referred rate will be applicable.

The reconciliation between the earnings before tax and the tax recorded for the periods ended at 30 September 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

2013 2012
Earnings before tax (123,730,695) 90,485,074
Income tax rate (25%) 30,932,674 (22,621,269)
Correction of the tax of the previous year and other related taxes (586,300) (9,786)
Tax provision (notes 14 and 18) (2,575) (2,280)
Movements in provisions not accepted for tax purposes (note 14) (499,465) (1,711,250)
Adjustments to the taxable income (33,314,981) 24,978,163
Use of losses carried forward, which deferred taxes were not recorded 2,161,329 -
Income taxation recorded in the period (1,309,318) 633,578

The tax rate used to reconcile the tax expense and the accounting profit was 25% because it is the standard rate of the corporate income tax in Portugal.

The adjustments to the taxable income in 2013 relates, mainly, to losses in financial investments and dividends received (note 18), which do not contribute to the calculation of the taxable profit for the period.

Portuguese Tax Authorities can review the income tax returns of the Company for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been generated, tax benefits have been granted or when any review, claim or impugnation is in progress, in which circumstances, the periods are extended or suspended. Consequently, tax returns of each year, since the year 2009 (inclusive) are still subject to such review. The Board of Directors believes that any correction that may arise as a result of such review would not produce a significant impact in the accompanying financial statements.

Supported by the Company's lawyers and tax consultants, the Board of Directors believes that there are no liabilities not provisioned in the financial statements, associated to probable tax contingencies that should have been recorded or disclosed in the accompanying financial statements, at 30 September 2013.

For 2011 Sonaecom's share plan, the Company signed with Sonae-SGPS, S.A. a contract that agrees to the transfer of Sonaecom SGPS shares for employees and board members of the Group as requested of Sonaecom and under the MTIP of Sonaecom, and the liabilities are calculated based on the price fixed in the contract. The responsibility for the three plans was recorded under the heading 'Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserve'. For the Sonae SGPS share plans, the Group entered into hedging contract with external entities, and the responsibilities are calculated based on the prices agreed on those contracts. The responsibility for these plans is recorded under the captions 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities'. For Zon Optimus's share plans, the responsibility was calculated taking into account the share price at the last day of period. The responsibility for these plans is recorded under the captions 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities'.

The detail of the hedging contracts is as follows:

Sonae SGPS shares Sonaecom
shares
2010 Plan 2011 Plan 2012 Plan 2011 Plan
Notional value 257,574 323,727 268,451 492,439

Valuation method Current replacement cost
Fair value* 121,467 392,825 78,642 408,723

* For the fair value calculation was used the share price at September 30

Share plan costs are recognised in the accounts over the period between the award and the vesting date of those plans. The costs recognised in previous years and in the period ended at 30 September 2013, were as follows:

(1)Sonaecom has signed hedging contracts to cover its responsibilities related with the medium and long-term group' incentive plans, later transferring, through contracts, the responsibility for each company of the group. The fair value of the hedging contracts, considered in the table above, corresponds to the amount that covers Sonaecom employees' responsibility.

(2)Sonaecom partially anticipated the maturity of the hedging contract with Sonae SGPS, receiving an amount equivalent to the present market value of Sonaecom shares.

24. Subsequent Events

On 23 October 2013, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. informed Sonaecom about the completion of a qualifying holding of 2.12% in Sonaecom, corresponding to 7,780,349 shares and voting rights.

On 29 October 2013, Sonaecom has announced to make a partial and voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of a maximum of 88,479,803 shares representing 24.16% of its own share capital.This transaction takes place after the merger of Optimus SGPS, S.A. and Zon Multimédia, SGPS, S.A., of which resulted Zon Optimus SGPS, S.A., in which Sonaecom, as a previous Optimus shareholder, became thereinafter the direct holder of 37,489,324 shares representing 7.28% of the share capital and voting rights of Zon Optimus and the indirect joint holder of 50.01% of the share capital and voting rights in Zon Optimus, through the 50% equity holding in Zopt, SGPS, S.A..

Sonaecom has the intention to accordingly give the option to its shareholders to sell, in equal standing conditions, their Sonaecom shares for consideration of the directly held 37,489,324 Zon Optimus shares, which are not necessary to the pursuit of Sonaecom's business purposes, thereby enabling direct exposure of Sonaecom shareholders to Zon Optimus, the reference asset of Sonaecom portfolio.

Sonaecom offers an overall price equivalent to Euro 2.45 per Sonaecom share, to be composed of Zon Optimus shares and, where applicable, a remaining cash amount, which represents a premium, per Sonaecom share, of circa: 10% over Sonaecom share closing price at 28 October 2013 and over the average weighted closing price of the last 30 days; 24% by reference to the last 90 days average weighted closing price of Sonaecom share; and 17% in relation to Sonaecom share average target price of €2.10. For determining the Sonaecom/Zon Optimus share trade ratio, it was taken into consideration Zon Optimus share average weighed closing price of the last 5 trading days, which was that of Euro 5.08 per Zon Optimus share.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 November 2013.

These financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS / IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the format and disclosures required by those Standards, some of which may not conform to or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.
