1HIGHLIGHTS

Market share gains mitigate declining consumption and enable profitability levels to be maintained

  • Consolidated turnover1 totalled 4,153 M€ in the 9M11, in line with the previous year
  • Sonae's Recurrent EBITDA in the third quarter (185 M€) unchanged compared to last year
  • Consolidated EBITDA for the 9M11 of 481 M€, representing an 11.5% margin on sales
  • Net results group share for the period totalled 84 M€
  • Sonae Sierra's direct income remains stable despite assets sales and the IPO in Brazil and Sonaecom's results continue to improve, in particular EBITDA and FCF performance

Strengthening of the capital structure

  • Net Debt to EBITDA at our retail businesses down vs. same period last year to 3.2x
  • Consolidated Net Debt reduced by 178M€ compared to the 3Q10
  • Relative weight of leverage in the total invested capital down to 60%, the most conservative level since 2007

"The first nine months of 2011 were marked by the announcement of various austerity measures in Iberia, which have already translated into a significant decrease in private consumption, particularly pronounced in the non-food segments. Under these adverse conditions, Sonae strengthened its commitment to support the consumer, always seeking to offer the most attractive value proposition, namely by expanding the scope of our private label offers.

The gains in market share in Portugal, achieved as a result of the distinctive positioning of our formats and the capacity to respond to changes in consumer habits, together with the growing contribution from our international business, enabled us to maintain the level of consolidated turnover during this period.

In light of the real reductions in disposable income, we expect some deterioration of LfL sales during the fourth quarter in the Portuguese market. Nevertheless, we are confident that we will be able to continue to grow our market shares, to strengthen our capital structure and to implement our agreed strategic guidelines, namely that of pursuing the path of internationalisation, albeit at a slower pace than we had intended."

Paulo Azevedo, CEO Sonae

  • During the first nine months of 2011, Sonae has faced different macroeconomic environments in the countries where it operates. The growth attained in Brazil and the relatively stable environment in other European counties was off-set by the weak economic dynamism in the Iberian markets, particularly in Portugal, where the announcement of the new austerity measures have strongly impacted family consumption levels (private consumption is estimated to have fallen in the 3Q11 by 4%2 ). Under this challenging environment, Sonae´s turnover remained stable at 4.15 billion Euros in the first nine months of 20113 , an achievement only possible thanks to market share gains in the main business areas during the course of this period.
  • In this period, recurrent EBITDA surpassed 471 M€, representing 11.3% of overall turnover. This figure was naturally impacted by Sonae SR's investments in internationalisation, but also by the effect of consumer retraction in the Iberian markets, which continues to be felt, particularly in the non-food categories. The efficiency measures and optimisation of cost structures have nevertheless enabled the maintenance of EBITDA margins at levels much similar to those of the same period last year.
  • In 9M11, direct net result totalled 134 M€, 5% below the figure registered in the same period last year, essentially due to the EBIT evolution. In the same period, the indirect result, relative to Sonae Sierra´s shopping centres portfolio, was -12M€, a significant improvement compared to 9M10. Consequently, total net result for the period totalled 122 M€ (+4%), of which the share attributable to the Group corresponds to circa 84 M€.
  • During 9M11, total investment for the group surpassed 235 M€, having essentially been allocated to the development of international operations and the remodelling and maintenance of assets in Portugal.
  • As at 30th September, total net debt totalled 2,958 M€, which represents a reduction of 178M€ compared to 9M10. The company continues to strengthen its financial structure, with its debt decreasing sustainably and representing, at the end of September 2011, 60% of invested capital (vs. 64% one year ago).

Turnover breakdown - 9M11

During the first nine months 2011, Sonae registered a consolidated turnover of 4,153 M€4 , practically in line with 9M10. The most significant contributions for this evolution were the following:

  • Sonae MC with 2,421 M€ (+2%). This figure incorporates a circa +1% sales growth on a comparable store universe basis, despite the continued effects of trading down carried out by consumers in Portugal. This positive evolution was made possible by the increase in sales volumes in store during 9M11. Sonae MC continues to strengthen its market leadership (+0.9 p.p. of market share)5 , with a strong contribution from its private label portfolio, which is currently representing circa 30% of sales in the relevant categories.
  • Sonae SR with 861 M€ (-1%), reflecting the evolution of circa -13% of sales on a comparable store universe basis, in light of the significant decrease felt in its home markets during the course of 2011. Despite this less favourable evolution, we estimate that our formats behaved better in terms of sales performance than the market average, consequently, attaining new gains in market share.6
  • Sonae Sierra with 144 M€ (+1%). Within a context of lower consumption levels across most European countries, Sonae Sierra once again demonstrated the quality of its assets by increasing the average occupation rates to 96.8%. Sierra is benefiting from its exposure to emerging markets, with a particular reference to the contribution from the Brazilian operations, in order to sustain the overall sales volume, on a LfL basis, of the shopping centres under its control.
  • Sonaecom with 650 M€ (-5%). The reduction results exclusively from lower product sales (driven by the end of the "e-initiatives" programme) and by the decrease in regulated tariffs (mobile termination rates and roaming tariffs), as Optimus was able to maintain a positive evolution at the level of mobile customer revenues and grow its revenue market share, while SSI was able to increase its respective services revenues.

In consolidated terms, the Group´s recurrent EBITDA totalled 471 M€, representing a profitability margin of 11.3%, practically in line with the same period last year. In a difficult macroeconomic environment, this performance was supported by the widespread implementation of projects to improve the operating efficiency in our different business areas. In terms of performance per business, it is worth highlighting:

  • Sonae MC with 152 M€ (+2%), representing a profitability of 6.3% of the respective turnover (completely in line with the same period last year). Sonae MC was able to sustain its competitiveness during this period via a combination of relevant promotional activities, leveraged on its customer loyalty card (which was involved in over 85% of sales in the period), a rigorous cost control, gains in efficiency and in the optimisation of its supply chain
  • Sonae SR´s contribution totalled -15 M€, which compares with a figure of +16 M€ registered in the same period last year. This evolution essentially reflects the negative sales behaviour in the Iberian market, but is also a result of the costs incurred in terms of store openings, training and brand awareness, so as to constitute a relevant market position in Spain, and related to the entering into new geographies.
  • Sonae RP with 81 M€. This figure is slightly below that of the same period last year (-4 M€ or -5%), solely due to the reduction of the asset portfolio, which resulted from the sales executed between the two periods.
  • Sonae Sierra´s contribution to the Group´s consolidated results remained practically stable, despite the sales of assets in Spain, having reached 67 M€ in 9M11, which translated into profitability margin of 47% in this period. This performance was determined by the sustainability achieved in its operations and by the growth attained in Brazil.
  • Still in the first nine months of 2011, Sonaecom´s contribution totalled 164 M€ (+10%), corresponding to an increase in sales margin of 3.4 p.p. (to 25.2%), resulting mainly from the optimisation of its cost structure but also from the positive performance in terms of mobile customer revenues.

  • In the first nine months of 2011, consolidated EBITDA reached 481 M€. This figure represents a decrease of only 2% in relation to the same period last year, essentially translating the evolution of the level of recurrent EBITDA. Non-recurring gains in 9M11 reached a figure of 10 M€ (in line with the previous year), mainly due to the capital gains registered by Sonae RP in the disposals of retail real estate assets completed in the beginning of the current year.
  • In the same period, expenses relating to depreciations and amortizations stood at 231 M€ (+13 M€, driven by the growth in the asset base and the accelerated depreciation of the Modelo brand) and the net financial expenses totalled 78 M€. This last figure is practically in line with the amount registered in 9M10, despite the lower amount of average debt outstanding, as a result of the increase in effective interest costs, which was still mostly explained by the higher market rates (Euribor) but also by the anticipated increase in spreads.
  • The direct income for the period (attributable to shareholders) totalled 92 M€, circa 18% below the figure registered in 9M10, basically translating the EBIT evolution described above.
  • The contribution of indirect results (attributable to shareholders), relative to the shopping centres portfolio of Sonae Sierra, was negative by 8 M€ (which compares favourably with -15 M€ registered in the same period last year), mainly as a result an (average) yield expansion in Portugal of 31 bps (resulting in an accumulated increase since the beginning of 2008 of approximately 190 bps), which was partially compensated by the increase in the valuation of assets in Brazil, resulting exclusively by improvements in the operational activity.
  • As a result of the above described evolution, total net result for the first nine months 2011 reached 122 M€ (+4%), of which the amount attributable to the Group was 84 M€.

During the course of the first 9 months of 2011, Sonae carried out a total investment of 235 M€, essentially distributed amongst the following projects:

  • selective opening of new retail stores in Portugal, including 1 Continente Modelo store and 9 new Sonae SR stores, with very positive return expectations;
  • broadening of Sonae SR own store network in the Spanish market, with the opening of 32 thousand new sqm of sales area (reaching a total of 115 stores in Spain), thus pursuing this important internationalisation effort. Additionally, 2 new own stores were opened in Turkey (under the Zippy format);
  • selective remodelling of a number of retail units so as to ensure that they remain as a reference in their respective areas of implementation
  • actively manage the attractiveness of Sonae Sierra´s current shopping centres and pursue the new development projects in Italy (Le Terrazze), Germany (Solingen) and Brazil (Uberlândia, Londrina and Goiânia), which represent a total of more than 230 thousand sqm of GLA and with expected openings in the period between 2012 and 2014;
  • selective strengthening of the coverage and capacity of Optimus´ network, a distinctive strategic asset of Sonaecom, so as to maintain its distinctive quality level.

The cash flow generation of the Sonae businesses continues to increase, as evidenced by the increase of +17% or +34 M€ at the level of (Recurrent EBITDA – Capex) registered during the first nine months of 2011.

As at 30th September, Sonae´s overall net capital employed was 4,898 M€. Sonae Sierra´s contribution to this total amount was 1,508 M€ (-73 M€ compared to the same period last year, resulting from stake reductions in 2 shopping centres in operation in Spain). Sonae RP´s overall asset portfolio was of 1,366 M€ (-95 M€, driven by the implementation of the sale & lease back programme of retail real estate assets).

Capital Structure

Loan-to-value (%) 9M09 9M10 9M11

As at the end of September 2011, Sonae´s total net debt amounted to 2,958 M€, translating in a significant reduction (178 M€ or -6%) over the course of the last 12 months. This evolution is all the more significant when considered over the last two years (a cumulative reduction of 479 M€), and within a context of a strong investment in international growth.

Sonae thus pursues its strategy of strengthening its capital structure, having already entered into negotiations for the refinancing of the remaining 2012 maturities. As at September 2011, consolidated net debt represented 60% of capital employed (which compares with 64% at the end of 9M10), the lowest level since the acquisition of Carrefour Portugal in 2007.

  • As at end of September 2011, the retail units net debt totalled 1,256 M€, 118 M€ below the same period in 2010 and corresponding to a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.2x. The reduction in leverage against the 9M10 was driven by the combination of a strong cash-flow generation with the completion of a number of sale & leaseback transactions, which have reduced Sonae MC's level of freehold to approximately 78% (vs. 84% at the end of 9M10).
  • Sonae Sierra´s net debt decreased by 115 M€ to 715 M€, benefitting from the sale of participations in the "Plaza Éboli" and "El Rosal" shopping centres (in Spain), and from the cash in-flow resulting from Sonae Sierra Brazil´s IPO. The combination of these operations reflects the implementation of the defined capital "recycling" strategy, which enables the continued development of its business, whilst reducing leverage, as evidenced by the evolution of the loan-to-value ratio (which went from 47% in the same period last year to 43% at the end of September 2011).
  • Sonaecom´s net debt decreased by 30 M€ to 324 M€, mainly as a result of the increasing capacity of its businesses to generate positive free cash-flows and despite the dividends distributed in 2011 (the first in its history).

8CORPORATE INFORMATION

Outlook for 2011

Taking into account the expected reduction in disposable income, as a result, namely, of the extraordinary tax approved in Portugal, we expect that, in particular regarding the more cyclical segments, the overall retail market experiences a contraction in sales, namely over the Christmas season. We expect the remaining European markets and Brazil to perform in line with or slightly below the year-to-date performance.

As such, and so as to minimise the impacts on the Group´s solid profitability levels, the programmes which have the potential to improve productivity and efficiency levels will continue to be implemented. We will thus continue to guarantee the delivery of the best value propositions to the end consumer, allowing for the further strengthening of our competitive position over time.

Sonae will also continue to ensure a strong scrutiny over investment decisions and, despite the contraction of demand for Portuguese real estate assets, will continue to pursue its programme to free up invested capital in its retail real estate arm, whenever adequate opportunities arise, which reflect the high quality of the underlying assets.

3Q11 main corporate events

On 4th July, Sonae became the first Portuguese retailer to be recognised for its best practices by EuroCommerce, the European association for retailers and wholesalers. The institution distinguished a total of 10 Sonae corporate responsibility projects, placing it in the league of companies who adopt the best practices in their activities.

On 5th July and 22nd August, Sonae´s entry into Egypt and Kazakhstan (respectively) was announced, with the opening of the first Zippy stores in their respective capital cities. These expansions were carried out under a franchise regime, via a previously established partnership with the Fawaz Alhokair Group, thus following the strategy of diversification of investment styles.

At the end of July, Sonae´s corporate identity was distinguished at the "Red Dot Awards", a prestigious international festival which takes place in Germany, and rewards, on a yearly basis, the best design works. This is the second international distinction awarded to the Sonae brand, after having been awarded a "Gold Lion" in the Cannes festival back in June.

On 15th September, Sonae announced the strengthening of its international presence with the opening of a second Zippy store in Turkey (having entered into that market during the 2Q11). The new store is located in the largest shopping centre in Europe, in Istanbul, and will enable a more in-depth test of a market with a strong potential for its formats.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED

30 SEPTEMBER 2011

(Amounts expressed in euro)

(Translation of condensed consolidated financial statements originally issued in Portuguese.

In case of discrepancies the Portuguese version prevails.)

1 INTRODUCTION

SONAE, SGPS, SA ("Sonae Holding"), has its head office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 1011, 4471-909 Maia, Portugal, and is the parent company of a group of companies, as detailed in Notes 4 to 7 ("Sonae"). Sonae`s operations and operating segments are described in Note 31.

Revenue recognition Geostar business

According to the recent amendment to IAS 18, revenues must include the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the entity of its own. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties are not economic benefits which flow to the entity and are therefore excluded from revenue. This methodological change resulted in the restatement of turnover and related costs for the same period of 30 September 2010.

2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

2.1. Basis of preparation

Interim financial statements are presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting".

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

3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the period were adopted a set of accounting standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions issued in previous years and whose implementation has become mandatory for the year 2011 as disclosed in financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which did not have significant impacts on the financial statements 30 September 2011.

  • Although in accordance with the deadlines contractually established, the Escrow Account should have already been released by the buyer. That didn't happen as there are some points of disagreement on the use of the Escrow Account, namely as whether or not, to retain the Escrow Account for ongoing tax additional assessments that have not yet been decided. It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers, that the company is acting in accordance with the agreement and that this amount shall be entirely received, and that there are legal means that may be operated so as to compel the buyer to authorize the reimbursement of the Escrow account. There are negotiations currently under way between the two parties in order to release the above mentioned amount; And
  • 4,150,000 euro (6,806,000 euro in 31 December 2010) corresponding to the fair value of Sonae Capital SGPS, S.A. shares which are measured at fair value in accordance with the market price at the date of the statement of consolidated financial position.

a) As a result of the agreements signed in 2005 by the former subsidiary - Sonae Distribuição Brazil, SA (sold to Wal-Mart in 2005) with Carrefour Comércio e Indústria Ltda, Sonae assumed responsibility to compensate Carrefour for the expenses that would arise from the 10 stores licensing process, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, that were sold to that entity. During 2010, Carrefour triggered a bank warranty "on first demand" amounting to 25,340,145.80 Brazilian real (approximately 10 million euro) for alleged expenses incurred with the mentioned stores and that, allegedly, arose from the need to remedy deficiencies cited by competent authorities for the licensing process. However no evidence of those expenses were presented to Sonae, or proof of the necessity of carrying out such costs for the licensing process as established on the mentioned agreements.

It is the understanding of the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys that the amount paid will be recovered. The company will start the legal proceedings against Carrefour Comércio e Indústria, Ltda. to recover the above mentioned amount. It's the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys understanding that the amount is recoverable, since Carrefour has never proved the existence of the costs that it claims and which validate the usage of the above mentioned warranty, or through the warranty expiration date (according with Brazilian law).

According to Group attorneys, the amount improperly received by Carrefour for which a reimbursement will be requested (25,340,145.80 Brazilian real), will earn interests at the SELIC rate, and it is the Board of Directors understanding that the legal proceedings will last up to 8 years.

18 SHARE CAPITAL

As at 30 September 2011, the share capital, which is fully subscribed and paid for, is made up of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, which do not have the right to a fixed dividend, with a nominal value of 1 euro each.

On 15 November 2007, Sonae Holding sold, 132,856,072 Sonae Holding shares directly owned by the Company. The shares were sold in a market operation at the unit price of 2.06 euro per share and resulted on a cash inflow (net of brokerage commissions) of 273,398,877 euro.

On the same date, Sonae Investments, BV, wholly owned by Sonae Holding entered into a derivative financial instrument - Cash Settled Equity Swap - over a total of 132,800,000 Sonae Holding shares, representative of 6.64% of its share capital.

This transaction has a maximum maturity of three years and a strictly financial liquidation, without any duty or right for the Company or any of its associated companies in the purchase of these shares. This transaction allows Sonae Investments BV to totally maintain the economic exposure to the sold shares.

In this context, although legally all the rights and obligations inherent to these shares have been transferred to the buyer, Sonae Holding did not derecognize their own shares, recording a liability in the caption "Other non-current liabilities" (Note 22). According to the interpretation made by Sonae of the IAS 39, applied by analogy to own equity instruments, the derecognition of own shares is not allowed as Sonae maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.

Consequently, Sonae maintains the deduction from Equity amounting to the acquisition cost of the 132,800,000 shares (138,568,275 euro), and has accounted for the consideration received for the above mentioned sale of own shares in the caption "Other noncurrent liabilities" (273,568,000 euro).

Due to the detach of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA, as at 4 January 2008, demerger rights attributable to the 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares subject to the above mentioned agreement, Sonae recognized an asset measured at its' fair value . This asset has not been derecognized as Sonae also entered into a Cash Settled Equity Swap over the Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares, and therefore a liability was recognized.

On 23 April 2009, 10 March 2010 and 28 March 2011 Sonae Investments BV requested a partial cancellation of the Cash settled Equity Swap for 1,134,965, 1,185,144 and 3,639,140 shares of Sonae Holding respectively. Consequently the derivative underlying asset was updated to 126,840,751 Sonae Holding shares.

On 19 October 2010 Sonae Investments BV has agreed with a financial institution to extend the maturity of the Cash Settled Equity Swap over the 130,479,891 Sonae Holding´s shares. The renovation is done for a maximum of 3 additional years, until November 2013 and maintains the settlement mechanism of the transaction that remains strictly cash settled. The Cash Settled Equity Swap, over shares of Sonae Capital, was not subject to extension of maturity, and Sonae acquired 16,600,000 shares in the market representing 6.6% of the capital of Sonae Capital, in result of fair value.

Therefore and for the transactions described above, the value of liabilities at the date of 30 September 2011, is 66,591,394 euro on the market value of Sonae Holding (Note 22).

These liabilities are adjusted at the end of each month by the effect in Sonae Holding share price, being recognized a current asset/liability in order to present the right/obligation related to the cash settlement of the operation that resets monthly.

Additionally, the costs related to the "floating amount" based on Euribor 1 month are recorded in the income statement.

The receivable amount arising on dividends distributed by the Company is credited to Equity in order to offset the charge of the distribution. The amount of dividends attributable to the shares Sonae SGPS, SA during the period ended 30 September 2011, amounts to 4,198,429 euro (4,110,117 euro in 2010) which was credited to equity.

The number of shares taken into consideration to calculate earnings per share includes the shares referred to above as a deduction to the shares issued by the Company (Note 29).

At 30 September 2011, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

21 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

Sonae uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows.

Sonae contracted several exchange rate forwards and options in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

As at 30 September 2011, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives which haven't been considered hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is null in liabilities as in the caption current investments (76,618 and zero euro as of 31 December 2010)

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

Gains and losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the caption "Net financial expenses".

Gains and losses for the period arising from fair value change of derivatives qualified as hedging instruments were recorded in the caption "Hedging reserve" of Comprehensive Income.

Interest rate derivatives

As at 30 September 2011, derivatives used by Sonae refer essentially to swaps and interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 1,006,234,394 euro (1,118,050,663 euro as at 31 December 2010). The fair value of these derivatives amounts to -33,087,248 euro (-37,139,105 euro as at 31 December 2010), and is disclosed as assets amounting to 16,313 euro (423,774 euro as at 31 December 2010) and as liabilities 33,103,561 euro (37,562,879 euro as at 31 de December de 2010).

Derivatives were valuated considering the estimated future cash-flows, assuming the exercise of the cancellation options by the counterparties when the forward interest rates are higher than the established fixed interest rate. Sonae intends to keep these derivatives until their expiration date, therefore, this valuation is considered to be the most appropriate to estimate the future cash flow of these instruments.

These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the balance sheet date, based on valuations performed by Sonae using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was calculated, at the balance sheet date, based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg. The calculation of the fair value of options was based on the "Black-Scholes" and similar models.

Interest rate and exchange rate derivatives

As at 30 September 2011 no contracts existed related to interest rate and exchange rate derivatives.

32 COMMITMENTS WITH "INFORMATION SOCIETY"

Under the agreed terms resulting from the grant of the UMTS License, Optimus – Comunicações, S.A. assumed commitments in the area of promotion of the Information Society, totalling 274 million euro, to be complied with up to the end of the licence period (2015)

In accordance with the Agreement established on 5 June 2007 with the Ministry of Public Works, Transports and Communications ("MOPTC"), a part of those commitments, up to 159 million euro, will be accomplished through its own projects as contributions to qualifying Information Society and incurred in the normal activity of Sonaecom - Communications Services (investment and networking technology that does not derive from the need for compliance with obligations relating to the allocation of the UMTS license and research activities, development and promotion services, content and applications), which must be recognized by MOPTC and entities set up especially for this purpose. As at 30 September 2010, 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 the amount of around 116 million euro, will be fulfilled as agreed between Optimus – Comunicações, S.A.and MOPTC, through contributions to the "Iniciativas E" project (offer of modems, discounted rates, cash contributions, among others, relating to the widespread use of broadband internet by students and teachers), those e contributions being made through Information Society Fund ("Fundo para a Sociedade de Informação") now known as the "Fundação para as Comunicações Móveis" (Foundation for Mobile Communications), to be created by the three mobile operators operating in Portugal. The responsibilities were recorded, at 31 December 2010, as an added cost of the UMTS license, against an entry in the captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities'. As at 30 September 2011 these responsibilities were all recorded in the financial statements.

At 30 September 2011, the caption "Patents and other similar rights", of intangible assets includes the amount of 111.5 million euro, that correspond to the present value of the estimated responsibility with "Iniciativas E" program, recorded in June 2008 and updated September 2009.
