Highlights

  • Consolidated turnover reaching 650.3 million euros
  • EBITDA growing to 164.0 million euros
  • EBITDA-operating Capex of 98.2 million euros
  • Net Results Group Share totalling 57.1 million euros
  • FCF reaching 43.6 million euros (28.6 million euros including securitization operation)
  • Net Debt to EBITDA improving to 1.3x

'The collective effort of the Sonaecom team once again led to a remarkable set of results, particularly evident at the Optimus EBITDA level, clearly against the overall telecommunications market trends in Portugal.

Importantly, it was also possible to significantly strengthen Sonaecom's capital structure with the closing of a 100 million euros bonds issue, fully subscribed by international banks, leaving us well placed to face the demanding challenges ahead.'

Ângelo Paupério, Sonaecom of CEO

Our business

From quarter to quarter, we have been increasing the profitability of our operations. The top line performance combined with the ongoing efficiency programme resulted in a robust 10.1% y.o.y. EBITDA growth. The rigorous management of the investments led to EBITDA-operating CAPEX increasing by 59%, to 98.2 million euros. Cash flow generation totalled 28.6 million euros, an achievement even more remarkable if we exclude the 15 million outflow to the securitisation operation. Finally, Sonaecom net results reached 57.1 million euros, 92% above the first nine months of 2010.

At Optimus mobile business, we continued to expand our customer base, growing 2.8% when compared with the same period of 2010. Despite the end of the e-initiatives programme and the general environment of constrained consumption due to austerity measures, we were able to deliver positive net adds in 3Q11, largely offsetting the negative trend registered in the 2Q11. Proving the resiliency of the operation, mobile customer revenues increased by 1.9%, between 9M10 and 9M11, which, coupled with the ongoing efficiency programme, enabled EBITDA to reach 154.9 million euros, 8.7% above last year, and EBITDA margin to reach 36.0%, 3.7pp above 9M10.

At Optimus wireline business, the positioning in the business segment as an integrated and convergent operator continues to deliver results, allowing us to increase the number of accesses in the first ninemonths of 2011 by 6.2%. We were already able to accomplish a breakeven level of EBITDA-operating CAPEX in this quarter, as a consequence of a higher EBITDA and lower CAPEX, a positive outcome following decisions we took to balance the profitability of this business.

At SSI, service revenues increased 5.6% in the first nine months of 2011, not totally offsetting the reduction in equipment sales, mainly as a consequence of the termination of the Government's e-initiatives programme and the difficult macro-economic environment.

Principally because of a major contract established during 3Q11, the level of WeDo's international orders increased 27% when compared with the same period of 2010, an encouraging indicator of future activity in the business assurance front.

1. Consolidated results

Turnover

Consolidated turnover totalled 650.3 million euros in 9M11, decreasing 4.9% y.o.y.. This evolution was motivated by a 27.4% reduction in product sales and a 7.0% reduction in the level of Optimus operator revenues, as a result of regulated tariffs, MTRs and Roaming in, not totally offset by an increase of 1.9% in mobile customer revenues and an increase of 5.6% in SSI service revenues. As mentioned in the previous quarter, the drop in product sales is mainly caused by the termination of Portuguese Government e-initiatives programme, an evolution already expected by our company.

Operating costs

Optimus has been achieving considerable cost optimizations on the back of an ongoing transversal efficiency plan, being implemented across the various business units, passing through customer service, network and IT. All the cost lines, with the exception of provisions, have decreased y.o.y.. As a consequence, the level of operating costs has decreased 8.7% between 9M10 and 9M11, to 492.6 million euros and is now representing about 75.7% of the consolidated turnover. It should be noted that between 9M10 and 9M11,

operating costs, excluding provisions, as a percentage of turnover decreased 4.1pp..

EBITDA

Consolidated EBITDA increased 10.1%, to 164.0 million euros. As a consequence of our performance in terms of revenues and costs, the consolidated EBITDA margin reached 25.2%, 3.4pp above 9M10. This evolution was due to the positive outcomes of Optimus efficiency plan and the positive trend of mobile customer revenues. Also, it is worthwhile mentioning that mobile EBITDA margin reached 36.0% in 9M11, growing 3.7 y.o.y., despite the negative macroeconomic backdrop.

Net profit

Net results group share reached 57.1 million euros, almost doubling as compared to 9M10, on the back of an improved EBITDA performance, the recognition of additional deferred tax assets, due to EBT performance, and a lower level of depreciation and amortisation. Net financial results decreased 5.2%, to a negative 6.8 million euros. Despite the positive evolution registered in the 3Q11, the average net debt level was higher in 9M11 when compared with the same period of 2010. This effect, coupled with a higher average cost of debt in 9M11, explains the negative performance of net financial results.

The tax line in 9M11 showed a cost of 6.3 million euros, against a cost of 14.4 million euros in 9M10. This is due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets, notwithstanding the higher EBT level.

Operating CAPEX

Operating CAPEX reached 65.8 million euros in 9M11, decreasing 24.5% when compared with 9M10, as a consequence of our rigorous CAPEX management, while ensuring a leading edge network.

As a result of our performance in terms of revenues and CAPEX, operating CAPEX as a percentage of turnover has decreased from 12.7% to 10.1%.

EBITDA-operating CAPEX grew to 98.2 million euros, increasing almost 60% compared to 9M10.

Capital structure

Despite the prevailing uncertainty in the financial markets, Sonaecom's comfortable capital structure was further reinforced with the closing of a 100 million euros bonds issue, late September, with three international banks.

Consolidated net debt reached 279.0 million euros, decreasing 3.7% against the same period of 2010. Driven by an improved EBITDA performance and a lower net debt level, the net debt to EBITDA ratio improved to 1.3x in 9M11, from 1.5x in 9M10.

Total credit facilities are now amounting to 544 million euros. In the first nine months of 2011the all-in average cost of debt reached 2.85%.

With the additional 100 million euros bonds issue, besides the higher diversification of financing sources and the increase of the average maturity of debt, Sonaecom anticipated funds to face the refinancing needs scheduled to 2012.

FCF

Excluding the 15 million euros securitization cash outflow, FCF stood at 43.6 million euros in 9M11, as a consequence of our consistently improved EBITDA-operating CAPEX performance, reflecting an increasingly higher EBITDA and a rigorously managed CAPEX level. Including the securitization operation, consolidated FCF reached 28.6 million euros, more than tripling the 9.4 million euros generated in 9M10 and, importantly, exceeding the 10.6 million euros achieved in full year 2010.

2. Optimus

  • Optimus EBITDA of 57.3 million euros, up by 17.5% when compared to 3Q10
  • Mobile subscriber base reached 3.64 million customers, up by 2.8% y.o.y.
  • Optimus mobile EBITDA margin of 36.1% in 3Q11, +4.6pp y.o.y.
  • Mobile customer revenues continued to rise, to 122.0 million euros, +2.6% y.o.y.
  • Data revenues increased to 33.0% of mobile service revenues in 3Q11, +2.7pp y.o.y.

Pursuing efficiency towards benchmark profitability

Reflecting a gradually leaner operation, the Optimus EBITDA reached 57.3 million euros in the 3Q11, a remarkable increase of 17.5% against 3Q10. EBITDA margin, on its own, achieved 29.1% in 3Q11, more 4.7pp against 3Q10. Optimus has been consistently improving its performance driven by its integrated approach in the business segment, expanding not only the number of accesses but, importantly, the penetration of the convergent offers, and by its leading mobile broadband product, Optimus Kanguru, with its retail success mitigating the impacts caused by the end of einitiatives programme

Lastly, we are confident that our positioning as an innovative operator that continuously pursues quality of service constitutes the correct strategy to succeed in the market in which we operate.

2.1. Optimus mobile business

The mobile business has been presenting solid growth, achieving a market share growth in service revenues and EBITDA above subscribers' market share. One of the main pillars of this performance is related with Optimus' innovative and leading positioning exploring emerging opportunities, especially in the mobile broadband space, through its advanced infrastrucuture and its rich portfolio of mobile broadband and smartphones. Aligned with Optimus' strategy, it is becoming clearer that technology is driving unprecedented empowerment of people through mobile connected devices. Smartphones and tablets sales already exceed PCs sales and smartphones already surpassed feature phone shipments in Western Europe. Importantly, despite this growth, mobile usage still has an enormous potential to be addressed. Within a virtuous circle, innovation is unleashing the power of mobile, leveraging the benefits of real time and localization, exploring applications that range from payments to social networks.

Customer base

The Optimus mobile customer base grew to 3.64 million customers, increasing 2.8% y.o.y.. Importantly, the 3Q11 level of net additions totalled 52.2 thousand, more than offsetting the negative value registered in the 2Q11. As a consequence, the 9M11 level of net additions reached 34.5 thousand customers, mainly due to the mobile residential segment. Our contract customers continued to rise, reaching approximately 33.7% of total mobile base, an increase of 0.6pp compared with the end of 9M10.

Mobile customers' ARPU stood at 13.0 euros, decreasing 0.8 euros compared to 9M10. This evolution is due a combination between lower interconnection revenues, which decreased from 2.3 euros to 1.7 euros, and lower customer monthly bill, which decreased from 11.5 euros to 11.3 euros. It is important to note that the y.o.y. evolution of customer monthly bill is improving. In fact, when analysed the evolution of this particular line, it has been growing smoothly since the beginning of 2011. As regards the level of Minutes of Usage (MOUs), it decreased 5.8% y.o.y., to 126 minutes per month, a decline linked to consumer confidence but with no significant impact on mobile customer revenues, given the relevance of packs of minutes and SMSs on Optimus pre-paid and post-paid offer.

Data services and mobile broadband

Data revenues represented 32.4% of service revenues in the first nine months of 2011, improving 2.3pp compared to the same period of 2010, an achievement fully in line with the current trends in terms of data usage. Also, non-SMS related data services continued to increase, accounting for approximately 76.3% of total data revenues in 9M11 versus 75.4% in 9M10, even considering the negative impact that the end of e-initiatives has been causing in our mobile broadband segment.

Turnover

Mobile customer revenues maintained the increasing trend of the previous quarters, reaching 355.9 million euros and growing 1.9% y.o.y.. Notwithstanding this improvement, mobile turnover decreased 2.4% y.o.y., to 430.2 million euros, mostly due to a decline in the level of operator revenues, fully driven by regulated tariffs, MTRs and Roaming in.

Operating costs

As a result of Optimus' operational efficiency plan, pursuing a leaner organisation, mobile operating costs decreased 7.2% y.o.y., to 299.4 million euros, almost due to a 21.4% decrease in the level of direct servicing costs. This in turn was due to a lower level of leased lines and network related costs but also from a lower level of interconnection costs, driven by lower mobile termination rates. Importantly, to support our increased commercial activity and customer base growth, the level of commercial costs increased 2.3% in 9M11. This was driven by a higher level of commissions, due to an enlarged activity in the business segment and mobile broadband, and also due to a higher level of marketing costs in 3Q11, when compared with 3Q10. The level of other operating costs increased 5.0% y.o.y., driven solely by a higher level of provisions, which offsets the reductions achieved by our operational efficiency plan in outsourcing costs, related to Optimus call centre and IT costs and also a lower level of general and administrative expenses. Between 9M10 and 9M11, mobile provisions increased from a low level of 1.8 million euros, already explained in previous reports,to 12.4 million euros.

EBITDA

Mobile EBITDA increased from 48.1 million euros, in 3Q10, to 54.1 million euros, in 3Q11, a considerable yearly increase of 12.3%. In cumulative terms, this line rose 8.7% y.o.y., to 154.9 million euros, driven by a 1.9% increase in mobile customer revenues and, mostly, by a 7.2% decrease in the level of operating costs.

The EBITDA margin reached 36.0% in 9M11, against 32.3% in 9M10. This positive evolution becomes even more evident on a quarterly basis, as mobile EBITDA margin increased in the third quarter from 31.5% to 36.1%, growing 4.6pp y.o.y.. This achievement is worth noting, especially given the depressed macroeconomic environment and the competitiveness of the market.

As a proof of the operating efficiency of the business, it should be noted that mobile EBITDA-operating Capex grew more than 50% between the two quarters under analysis, to 35.1 million euros. In cumulative terms, mobile EBITDAoperating Capex has increased from 79.9 million euros, in 9M10, to 104.9 million euros, in 9M11, 31.4% y.o.y..

2.2. Optimus wireline business

In the corporate and SMEs segment, an important strategic part of the wireline business, we continue to achieve growth through the demand for convergent solutions. So as to deliver a completely integrated offer, our convergent network infrastructure, coupled with a unique strong brand, a unified commercial approach as well as an integrated backoffice, have been the key to best address and anticipate the requirements of our enterprise customers.

As regards the residential segment, we continue to focus on value growth in terms of our fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) subscriber base, while leveraging our infrastructure and partnerships. During the 3Q11, as a result of the partnership established with Vodafone, Optimus has now a coverage of 400 thousand homes passed with FTTH.

2.2.1. Operational data

(1)Due to a change in the classification criteria ofOther CustomerRevenues, the level of Direct AccessRevenues was restated between4Q09 and 3Q10.

Customer base

The Corporate and SMEs segment continued to increase its presence in the market, with the number of accesses increasing from 149 thousand to 158 thousand, growing 6.2% between 9M10 and 9M11.

However, the number of total accesses decreased 12.0% y.o.y. to 384 thousand accesses, driven entirely by the residential segment. This fall was due to a 13.5% decrease in direct accesses, impacted by the decision to abandon residential customer acquisition through the incumbent's infrastructure, namely through ULL, and a 4.8% reduction in indirect accesses. Nonetheless, it should be emphasised that driven by both the direct and indirect evolution of accesses, the decreasing trend of the total number of accesses has been slowing q.o.q. since early 2009.

Turnover

Wireline turnover decreased 9.5% y.o.y., to 163.5 million euros, driven by a reduction of 15.4% in the level of customer revenues, to 79.1 million euros, and a reduction of 4.4% in the level of operator revenues, to 83.0 million euros, this last mainly driven by wholesale traffic prices.

Operating costs

Wireline operating costs decreased 12.2% y.o.y., to 156.6 million euros. Direct servicing costs decreased 3.9% y.o.y. mostly as a result ofthe reduction in the number of ULL accesses. Commercial costs decreased 35.0% due to lower marketing and sales costs, consequence of our decision of abandon residential customer acquisition through the incumbent's infrastructure. Personnel costs, as a result of the optimization of our wireline residential business unit, declined 28.7% y.o.y..

The level of other operating costs decreased 25.9%, benefiting from a lower level of provisions, which decreased to 4.3 million euros, in 9M11, from 9.3 million euros, in 9M10, a higher amount required to reinforce the level of provisions for bad debt at the time.

EBITDA

As a result of our performance in terms of revenues and costs, 9M11 wireline EBITDA more than doubled, reaching 7.6 million euros. The EBITDA margin increased from 1.8% to 4.6%, growing 2.9pp y.o.y..

We have been directing our efforts towards managing the profitability of the wireline business. As a result, we were able to achieve EBITDA-operating CAPEX breakeven at this quarter. Although still negative in 9M11, EBITDA-operating Capex grew more than 60% between 9M10 and 9M11.

Currently, the SSI division comprises four companies: WeDo Technologies, a provider of business assurance solutions addressing the optimisation of business performance and risk management systems and processes; Mainroad, which specialises in IT management, security and business continuity; Bizdirect, which provides value-added IT products; and Saphety, which focuses on business process automation, electronic invoicing and security in B2B transactions.

WeDo Technologies continued to increase its international presence and to grow its position in the business assurance market, acquiring new global accounts and enlarging its offer to fraud solutions, as well as addressing other sectors of activity.

Presently, WeDo Technologies has more than 148 clients in 78 countries. In 9M11, WeDo Technologies' international revenues represented 68.5% of its turnover and the volume of its international revenues grew 2.9% between 9M10 and 9M11. Importantly, WeDo's future activity will benefit from the 27.0% increase in the level of international orders. These evolutions indicate that the company's focus on enlarging the international footprint continues to deliver positive results.

IT service revenues per employee reached 129.1thousand euros in 9M11, 2.6% above 9M10,totally driven by the increase in service revenues as SSI's total headcount increased 2.3% y.o.y. to 569 employees. This was due to the inclusion of employees at Mainroad driven by full outsourcing contracts and, also, by WeDo Technologies' growing activity.

Equipment sales per employee decreased y.o.y. by 34.0%. Driven mainly by the end of the e-initiatives programme, the level of Bizdirect laptop sales has sharply decreased, which inevitably has an impact in some KPI's of the business.

Turnover

SSI turnover decreased y.o.y. by 18.6%, to 83.3 million euros. The 5.6% y.o.y. increase in the level of service revenues was not sufficient to offset the 42.3% drop in equipment sales, driven mostly by the end of e-initiatives programme.

Operating costs

SSI operating costs decreased y.o.y. by 18.7%,to 78.7 million euros. The 41.8% decrease in the level of commercial costs is mostly a direct consequence of the lower level of cost of goods sold, mainly due to lower laptop sales under the einitiatives programme. The increase in other operating costs is related mainly with higher operational costs, which reflect the additional maintenance and renting contracts associated with the full outsourcing contracts won by WeDo Technologies and Mainroad.

EBITDA

During 9M11, SSI EBITDA reached 5.0 million euros, decreasing 13.6% when compared with 9M10, due to a lower level of product sales at Bizdirect and a higher operating costs base, excluding cost of goods sold, not yet entirely offset by higher service revenues.

As a result of the combination of higher service revenues and lower equipment sales, SSI EBITDA margin increased y.o.y. from 5.7% to 6.0%. Nonetheless, this margin improvement is being conditioned by Wedo Technologies' international expansion efforts, aiming at leading the business assurance market, leveraging its leadership in revenue assurance.

4. Online & Media

Sonaecom's Online & Media business comprises a set of additional businesses such as Miau.pt, Público, a leading Portuguese daily newspaper that has already completed 21 years, and Público.pt, at the digital forefront of the Portuguese online press.

The market dynamics in the daily generalist press sector are crossing a very challenging moment, both in terms of circulation and advertising figures. Nevertheless, Público was able to maintain its audience percentage around 4.4% in 9M11.

As regards the financial performance, the considerably lower level of advertising sales, consequence of the macroeconomic backdrop, has inevitably been impacting Online & Media EBITDA. In 9M11, this particular line reached a negative level of 2.4 million euros, decreasing when compared with 9M10 negative 1.0 million euros.

5. Main regulatory developments in 3Q11

Most significant regulatory developments during 3Q11

New communications act

On 13 September 2011, ICP-Anacom published the law No. 51/2011, which amends the legal regime applicable to networks and electronic communications services, transposing the EU Directives adopted in late 2009.

Subsequent regulatory developments

Mobile termination rates glide path

ICP-ANACOM released a public consultation with a new glide-path proposal for mobile termination rates, to be in consultation until 8 November 2011.

This proposal considers quarterly declines, to enter into force on 1 February 2012, as follows:

MTR's/€/cents
1 Feb. 2012 0.0275
1 May 2012 0.0225
1 Aug. 2012 0.0175
1 Nov. 2012 0.0125

The new prices are based on a cost model defined for the purpose, simultaneously released with the price proposal. This cost model is based on the 'long run incremental cost' ('LRIC') pure approach, in accordance with the European Commission recommendation for termination rates.

LTE spectrum auction final regulation

On 19 October 2011, ICP-Anacom published the final regulation regarding LTE spectrum auction. The most relevant items that were altered are as follows:

  • In the 800Mhz band, the acquirers of spectrum may defer the payment of one third of the total investment over a period of 5 years;

  • the 900Mhz band will have a 25% discount for new entrants;

  • the players that win the 800Mhz license will be obliged to provide coverage within one year to 80 municipalities identified as not having mobile broadband coverage.

6. Main corporate developments in 3Q11

Bond issue completion

On 23 September 2011, Sonaecom announced the completion of a 3.5 year unsecured bond issue, by private placement, in the total amount of 100 million euros, an operation that assured a higher diversification ofSonaecom financing sources, increased the average maturity of the debt and anticipated funds to face the refinancing needs scheduled to 2012.

assets.
IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial
Statements
Builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the

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 1-Jan-13
Joint 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.

The application of these standards and interpretations, when applicable, will have no material effect on future consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group at 30 September 2011 are comparable with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2010 .

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 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 recorded separately in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated profit and loss statement, respectively, under Non -controlling

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 non controlling 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 Investments in associated companies (generally investments capital) are recorded using the equity method.

In accordance with the equity method, investments are 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 assessment of the investments in associated companies is performed annually, with the aim of detecting possible impairment situations.

associated company 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, a situation when a provision is recorded under the

Investments in associated companies are listed in note 4.

c) Companies jointly controlled

The financial statements of companies jointly controlled have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements by the proportional method, since their acquisition date. According to this method, assets, liabilities, income and costs of these companies have been included into the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in the proportion attributable to the Group.

The excess of cost in relation to the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the jointly controlled companies at the time of their acquisition was recorded as Goodwill (note 9). If the difference between cost and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is negative, it is recognised as income of the period, after reconfirmation of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.

The transactions, balances and dividends distributed among Group companies and jointly controlled companies are eliminated in the proportion attributable to the Group.

The classification of financial investments as jointly controlled is determined, among oth Agreements that govern the jointly controlled companies.

A description of the companies jointly controlled is disclosed in note 3.

d) 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

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

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

Years of
useful life
Buildings 50
Other constructions 10-20
Networks 10-40
Other plant and machinery 8-16
Vehicles 4
Fixtures and fittings 3-10
Tools 4-8
Other tangible assets 4-8

During the period ended at 30 September 2011, the Board of Directors of the Group proceeded with prospective effect to the revision of the estimated useful life of a set of assets related to the telecommunications networks and mobile telephones, based on evaluation reports produced by specialised independent agencies.

Current maintenance and repair costs of fixed 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 amortised in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

Work in progress corresponds to fixed 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. Good conditions in terms of network coverage and / or necessary quality and technical reliability to ensure minimum services are examples of conditions evaluated by the management.

e) 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 (excluding the one included in tangible assets software), industrial property, costs incurred with the mobile network operator licenses (GSM and UMTS) and the fixed network operator licenses, as well as the costs incurred with under the purchase price allocation in business combinations).

Amortisations are calculated on a straight-line 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. Mobile and fixed network operator licenses are amortised over the estimated period for which they were granted, so, the UMTS license is being amortised until 2030. Additional license costs, namely the ones related to the commitments assumed by the Group under the UMTS license, being amortised up to the estimated useful life of the license above indicated. The amor 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

f) 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.

g) Goodwill

The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies 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 of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement. The Group will chose, on an acquisition-byacquisition 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 noncontrolling 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 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 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.

s amortised over the estimated period of recovery of the investments, usually 10 years, and the annual amortisation was recorded in the profit the IFRS 3 impairment tests (paragraph x). Impairment losses of Goodwill are recorded in the profit and loss statement for the period under the caption

h) Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following -toilable-foron the purpose for which the investments were acquired. The classification of the investments is determined at the initial recognition and re-evaluated every quarter.

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.

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 balance sheet.

-to-

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed intention and ability to hold until their maturity.

-for-

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 l assets at fair value 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.

-forvalue.

d-toare 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 discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models 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.

i) 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.

Fixed 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.

j) 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 s sales ered on

k) 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 s

Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in

l) Cash and cash equivalents

Amounts include 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 investments that mature in less than three months, for which in the cash flow statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in the balance sheet -

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 and subsidiary companies, 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.

m) Loans

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.

n) 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.

o) 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 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 funds.

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 2011, the Group did not have any derivative.

p) 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 not 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.

q) Income tax

payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12

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 situations, deferred taxes are always recorded in the profit and loss statement.

r) Government subsidies

Subsidies awarded to finance personnel training are recognised as income during the period in which the Group incurs the associated costs and are included in the profit and loss statement as a deduction to such costs.

Subsidies awarded to finance investments are recorded as deferred income and are included in the profit and loss subsidies awarded are used to finance investments in tangible assets, they are recorded in the profit and loss statement during the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets. If the subsidies awarded are used to finance other investments then they are recorded as the investment expenditure is incurred.

s) 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.

    • Other 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.

Revenue from telecommunications services is recognised in the period in which it occurs. Such services are invoiced on a monthly basis. Revenues not yet invoiced, from the last invoicing cycle to the end of the month, are estimated and recorded based on actual traffic. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts, which are usually not material, are recorded in the following period.

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 income related to pre-paid cards is recognised whenever the minutes are used. At the end of each period the minutes still to be used are estimated and the amount of income associated with those minutes is deferred.

Costs relating to customer loyalty programmes, under which points are awarded by the subsidiary Optimus Comunicações, S.A., are calculated taking into consideration the probability of the redemption of the points, and are recognised, as a deduction to income, at the time the points

t) 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.

as non-current assets and liabilities (notes 11 and 17).

u) Reserves

Legal reserve

Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5% of 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 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 responsibility related with the Medium Term Incentive Plans is registered un be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

d effective (note 1.o)) 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 2011, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., have reserves which by their nature are considered distributable, amounted around Euro 107 million.

w) 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

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:

x) 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 or under 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 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.

y) Medium Term Incentive Plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 -

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, under 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

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 -current
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the -
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate
  • (iv) continues to be charged as an expense under the caption

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded cost relating to the vesti 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 -current period elapsed.

The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

At 30 September 2011, all Sonaecom share plans were covered through the detention of own shares. The impacts associated to such plans as the Medium Term Incentive Plans are registered, in the balance sheet, under the caption

At 30 September 2011, all equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company were covered by contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed. Therefore, the responsibility associated to those plans is recorded based on that fixed price, proportionally to the period of time elapsed since the award date until the date of record, statement under the ca

z) 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.

aa) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the periods ended at 30 September 2011 and 2010, 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;
  • (iv) Assessment of the responsibilities associated with the

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

Changes in 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.

ab) 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. o)).

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, Chile, Panama, Singapore 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.

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

the total cost of debt to a high risk of volatility. The impact of this volatility on the Group results or on i 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 consolidated results (particularly operational), and in this way atural 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

As all Son 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 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.

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 accounts receivable related to current operational activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Group, in respect to telecommunications operators, 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.

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 for periods of five years. 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 circa 3% and others considered more conservative. 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
Telecommunications 9.00%
Multimedia 9.45%
Information Systems 11.22%

10. Investments available for sale

At 30 September 2011 and 2010, this caption included investments classified as available-for-sale and was made up as follows:

11. Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets at 30 September 2011 and 2010, amounted to Euro 105,384,838 and Euro 114,683,784, respectively, and arose, mainly, from tax losses carried forward, temporary differences and from differences between the accounting and tax amount of some fixed assets.

The movements in deferred tax assets in the periods ended at 30 September 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

2011 2010
Opening balance 109,587,224 121,894,677
Impact on results:
Tax losses carried forward (4,105,386) 2,727,243
Movements in provisions not accepted for tax purposes and tax benefits 981,228 705,694
Deferred tax assets not recorded in previous years 11,278,074 -
Temporary net differences between the tax and the accounting amount of certain fixed assets (9,891,222) (8,269,986)
Temporary differences arising from the securitisation of receivables (Optimus) (2,415,000) (2,415,000)
Sub-total effect on results (note 22) (4,152,306) (7,252,049)
Others (50,080) 41,156
Closing balance 105,384,838 114,683,784

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 (note 18). 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. Until 30 September 2011, an amount of Euro 8.9 million was reversed corresponding to the reversal of the above referred temporary difference.

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.

Deferred taxes related to the UMTS license refers to 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.

At 30 September 2011 and 2010, assessments of the deferred tax assets to be 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 9.

The rate used at 30 September 2011 and 2010 to calculate the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward was 25%. The rate used to calculate other deferred tax assets was 26.5%. unlikely the taxation of temporary differences during the estimated period when the referred rate will be applicable.

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 2011 was as follows:

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.

The Settlement Note, was receipt on April 2011, and Optimus will challenge that decision and is confidence of the Board of Directors of the Optimus and the Group that there are strong arguments to obtain a favorable decision for Optimus,. For this reason, Optimus kept the recording of deferred tax assets associated with this operation.

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 records in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and considering the IAS 34 - .

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 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.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions approved (endorsed) by the European Union have mandatory application to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and were first adopted in the period ended at 30 September 2011:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 1 - Amendment (Limited Exemption from
Comparative IFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time
Adopters)
1-Jul-10
The amendment ensures that first-time adopters benefit from the same
transition provisions that the Amendment to IFRS 7 introduced in March

2009 (Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments) provides to current IFRS preparers.

Revised IAS 24 (Related Parties Disclosures) 1-Jan-11

The revised standard addresses concerns that the previous disclosure difficult to apply in practice, particularly in environments where government control is pervasive, by: (1) providing a partial exemption for governmentrelated entities; (2) providing a revised definition of a related party.

1-Feb-10 *
rights)

The amendment states that if such rights are issued pro rata to an entity's all existing shareholders in the same class for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated.

1-Jan-11
contributions)
The amendments correct an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14. Without

the amendments, in some circumstances entities are not permitted to recognise as an asset some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions.

IFRIC 19 - Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments 1-Jul-10 *

Clarifies the requirements of IFRSs when an entity renegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the creditor agrees to accept the financial liability.

* The effective date in accordance with the adoption by the EU was subsequent to the effective date originally established by the standard.

The application of these standards did not have significant impacts on the Company's financial statements.

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 future financial years:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
18-Feb-11*

This process included the review of 7 accounting standards.

* The effective date in accordance with the adoption by the EU was subsequent to the effective date originally established by the standard.

These standards, although approved (endorsed) by the European Union, were not adopted by the Company for the period ended at 30 September 2011, as the application of these standards is not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements resulting from their adoption.

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)
IAS 12 - Amendments (Deferred tax: Recovery of
Underlying Assets)
1-Jan-12
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

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.

IFRS 1 - Amendments (Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters) 1-Jul-11

The amendments: 1) replace the fixed dates in the derecognition exception and the exemption related to the initial fair value measurement of financial instruments; and 2) add a deemed cost exemption to IFRS 1 that an entity can apply at the date of transaction to IFRSs after being subject to severe hyperinflation.

IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Amendments (issued 7 October 2010)

1-Jul-11

The amendment requires disclosures to improve the understanding of transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitisations), including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may remain after the transfer. It also requires additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Company at 30 September 2011 are comparable with those used in the preparation of the individual financial statements at 31 December 2010.

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

Impairment losses detected in the realisation value of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a

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

Years of useful
life
owned by third parties 10-20
Plant and machinery 5-8
Fixtures and fittings 3-10

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 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 years) as

future financial statements of the Company.

from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss

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

Investments in companies in which the Company has direct or excess of 50% or in which it has control over the financial and ition 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, -

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 year that they 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) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following ca -to- -fordepends 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.

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.

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. Loans and receivables are included under the

-to-maturity inve

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed maturities and ability to hold until their maturity.

-for-sa

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 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-forvalue.

-tocarried 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 availablefor-sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair

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 discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined 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.

e) 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.

Fixed 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.

f) 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 stateme Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in

g) Cash and cash equivalents

h and cash 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 months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. he cash flow statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in - 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 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 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.

h) Loans

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.

i) 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 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 funds.

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 2011, the Company did not have any derivative.

j) 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.

k) Income Tax

currently payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12

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 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 7).

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 made under the Share situations, deferred taxes are always registered in the profit and loss statement.

l) 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.

  • 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.

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

receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

m) Balance sheet classification

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

In addition, considering their nature, the deferred taxes and the provisions for other liabilities and charges, are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities (notes 7 and 13).n) 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 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 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 can not be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

hedges derivatives that are considered effective (Note 1.i) 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.

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 2011, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., have reserves which by their nature could be considered distributable, in the amount of around Euro 107 million.

o) Own shares

Gains or losses related to the sale of own shares are recorded

p) 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 profit and loss statement of the period, in financial results. The following rates were used for the translation into euro:

2011 2010
30 September Average 30 September Average
Pounds Sterling 1.1539 1.1478 1.1629 1.1677
American Dollar 0.7208 0.7389 - -
Swiss franc 0.8217 0.8123 - -
Swedish krona 0.1080 0.1111 0.7327 0.7625

q) 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 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.

r) Medium-term incentive plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 -

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by the estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, under the

ged as an expense 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

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 -current ;
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been proportion of the cost of each plan) is deferred and is -current ;
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate ;
  • (iv) continues to be charged as an expense under the caption .

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded to the vestin 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 -current relating to the deferred period elapsed. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

At 30 September 2011, all the Sonaecom share plans were covered through the detention of own shares. Therefore the impacts of the share plans of the Medium Term Incentive Plans

At 30 September 2011, all equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company were covered by contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed. Therefore, the responsibility associated to those plans 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 on the income statement under the

s) 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.

t) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements of the periods ended at 30 September 2011 and 2010 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

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

u) Financial risk management

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 -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. i).

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.

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

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 partially offsetting the i 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 .

2) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used 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 Company agrees with third parties (banks) to exchange, in pre-determined 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 y, 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 ), 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 under borrowing captions and changes in the fair value are recognised in equity.

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 in the Company 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 estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity analysis for each of the liabilities associated to financial instruments is presented in the note 12.

Credit risk

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.
