(4) Sonae SGPS's sub-holding's financial figures, as reported in section 3 – Business analysis, are reported on a standalone basis.
Our commitment to increase organic growth rate and the acquisitions carried out in 2007 has enabled us to achieve a year-on-year turnover increase of 26%. All our units contributed to this acceleration of growth, of which more than 9% was achieved through organic growth. EBITDA increased by 9% and, excluding non-recurrent transactions, that include value created on investment properties and real estate capital gains at Sonae Distribuição, EBITDA would have grown by a strong 12%, despite the additional costs resulting from the integration of companies acquired in 2007, strong competitive pressures on both the Retail and Telecommunications markets and the scenario of continuous cost increases in our raw materials.
In the Retail business, we continued to strengthen our leadership in the Portuguese retail market, with turnover up by 28% and EBITDA, excluding non-recurrent real estate transactions, increasing by 17.8%. It is worth mentioning that, despite the launch of the loyalty card in January 2007 and the significant impact on sales in that quarter, we were able to deliver further for growth on a like-for-like basis from our existing food retail stores (+1%). The integration of the retail operation acquired is taking place according to plan, with no sales losses in this initial period and with the successful replacement of the IT systems and rebranding in just 48 hours. Efforts have been made to solve all inventory problems and performance and synergy projects have been implemented. Non–food sales grew by 24%, with an underlying 6% like-for-like growth. After the end of 1Q08 and in accordance to plan, Sonae Distribuição successfully opened its first SportZone store in Spain, in Madrid, with very encouraging indicators regarding the format acceptance. Over and above the focus on the integration process, Sonae Distribuição continued the investment in the opening of new stores, in line with the targets disclosed of adding more than 60,000 new m2 before the end of 2008 and reaching 1,000,000 m2 of sales area in 2010.
In the Shopping Centre business, the quarter saw strong financial results, with EBITDA increasing by 31%, reflecting the extended portfolio of assets under management and the improving performance of the Services division. Net Profit increased by 34% compared to 1Q07. Importantly, operating priorities were focused on the launch of the Sierra Portugal Fund, with Sonae Sierra selling in this first closing a position of 40% of the fund. The sale of Sierra Portugal Fund, valued at fair value as at 31 December 2007, gives us confidence in the quality of Sonae Sierra's portfolio of assets and its relative immunity from the recent real estate market turmoil resulting from the subprime crisis.
In the Telecommunications business, we continued to achieve positive operational results at both our Mobile and Wireline divisions, with significant growth in mobile active customers, up by 8%, and a significant increase in our wireline direct accesses, up by 27% on a like-for-like basis, the latter posting growth of nearly 68% to 521 thousand accesses when including the acquisitions completed in 2007. Total mobile active customers reached 2.3 million and total wireline accesses amounted to 775 thousand. Our financial results were also positive and in line with expectations, with customer revenues growing by 11% on a like-for-like basis and EBITDA matching last year's results in absolute terms. This was an encouraging performance given the very tough competitive market environment, with all the players launching very aggressive offers and promotions. During the quarter, in order to enhance its competitive position, Sonaecom announced the implementation of a fibre deployment, a 3 year investment plan totalling 240 million euros, which is expected to cover 25% of the Portuguese population.
With the performance we have posted in this quarter and despite the clear slowdown of consumer confidence in Portugal and Spain, I feel confident we will deliver on our commitment to profitable growth and meet our bold objective of maintaining retailing margins for the full year.
During 1Q08, Sonae SGPS focused on delivering organic growth at all its businesses: the Retail business continued posting positive like-for-like growth of revenues, the Shopping Centre business continued to develop its project pipeline and the Telecommunications business was able to accelerate growth and strengthen market share.

Consolidated turnover grew significantly by 25.9% to 1,204.2 million euros in 1Q08, compared to 956.6 million euros in 1Q07(R). The Retail business delivered most of the growth in turnover, with an increase in contribution of 201 million euros in 1Q08, mainly explained by its strong expansion plan and the integration of the retail operation acquired, completed by the end of 2007, and notwithstanding positive effect of the launch of the loyalty card in January 2007.

Consolidated turnover increased by 25.9% in 1Q08 compared to 1Q07(R), amounting to 1,204.2 million euros, driven by turnover growth across all the business units:
Total EBITDA amounted to 110.3 million euros in 1Q08, 8.5% above that in 1Q07(R), mainly driven by the strong operational results from the Shopping Centre business reflecting the increased portfolio of assets owned and rental performance. Excluding non-recurrent capital gains y.o.y, EBITDA would have amounted to 101.3 million euros, 11.8% above that in 1Q07(R).
The breakdown of EBITDA performance in 1Q08 by business was as follows:
The EBITDA margin reached 9.2% in 1Q08, 1.4pp less than in 1Q07(R), primarily explained by: (i) the impact on margin of the 8 petrol stations, acquired as part of the purchase of the retail operation in 2007, still pending the Portuguese Competition Authority's non-opposition to them being operated by Galp Energia; (ii) the non-recurrent capital gains impacting EBITDA y.o.y; (iii) the costs of integration of the stores acquired by the Retail business; and (iv) the increased commercial and marketing activities in the Telecommunications business that reflect the push for organic growth of this business unit. Excluding the contribution from petrol stations and nonrecurrent capital gains, EBITDA margin would have decreased by 1.2pp, from 9.5% in 1Q07(R) to 8.3% in 1Q08.
Net Financial results deteriorated by 57.0% to a negative 39.2 million euros in 1Q08 compared to a negative 25 million euros in 1Q07(R), mainly reflecting: (i) a 29.8% increase in financial expenses, explained by the Group's higher average net debt in 1Q08; (ii) an increase in the average cost of debt, with the 3 and 6 month daily average Euribor rates increasing by 0.7pp and 0.5pp, respectively compared to 1Q07; and (iii) a 21% decrease in interest income, from 13.4 million euros to 10.6 million euros. The Group's higher average net debt in 1Q08, when compared to 1Q07(R), is primarily explained by the financing requirements of the retail acquisition and development plans from the Shopping Centre unit.
Investment income totalled 6 million euros in 1Q08, 4 million euros higher than 1Q07(R), including gains related to the launch of Sierra Portugal Fund on 27 March 2008, Sonae Sierra's second investment fund comprising 8 Portuguese shopping centres and 3 projects under development, and the corresponding sale at market value of a 40% shareholding to reference investors. This income is primarily explained by the write-off of deferred tax liabilities related to unrealised gains on investment properties, accounted for in the balance sheet under the IAS rules.
Consolidated net income group share in 1Q08 increased by 12.3% to 12.1 million euros, compared to 10.8 in 1Q07(R), mostly due to sales growth and improved operational profit. This performance was achieved notwithstanding the 57% higher net financial charges incurred in the quarter and the 10% higher depreciation & amortization charges, the later driven by the increased asset base resulting from store network expansion at Retail and the extension of the mobile and wireline network at Telecommunications.
Taxes for 1Q08 showed a charge of 0.5 million, compared to 6.1 million euros in 1Q07(R), and comprised a current tax charge of 5.4 million euros and movements in deferred taxes that generated a benefit of 4.9 million euros. The latter was driven by the recognition of additional
deferred tax assets at Sonae Distribuição and Sonaecom amounting to 6.1 million euros, which more than offset the deferred tax liabilities booked at Sonae Sierra.

Gross tangible and intangible assets totalled 4,181.2 million euros at the end of 1Q08, compared to 4,102 million euros at end 2007 and cumulative depreciation and amortization totalled 1,651.7 million euros, compared to 1,600 million euros at end 2007. Liquidity decreased by 165.2 million euros to 181.3 million euros in 1Q08, compared to end 2007, including the acquisition of approximately 7 million Sonaecom shares during the quarter, the use of cash applications to repay commercial paper at Sonaecom, and the mark-to-market of the Cash Settled Equity Swap, signed in November 2007, covering a total of 132.8 million Sonae SGPS shares. Total investment properties reached a similar value to that at the end of 2007, comprising a 21.3 million euros investment on projects under development, and reflecting no new shopping centres, opened or acquired in the quarter, as well as no revaluations of owned real estate, the latter because the independent entity, Cushman & Wakefield, only prepares updates of mark-to-market values on a half yearly basis. Trade creditors reached 892.6 million euros, a reduction of 96.2 million euros compared to end 2007, mainly driven by the Retail business, as a result of payments to suppliers after the strong Christmas season.
Total equity decreased by 17.7 million euros in 1Q08 to 1,600.3 million euros, when compared to year end 2007, mainly reflecting 60 million of dividends paid relating to the year ending 31 December 2007, notwithstanding the 10.6 million euros of results achieved in the quarter.
Capex increased by 8.1% to 133.6 million euros in 1Q08, compared to 1Q07(R), equal to 11.1% of turnover.

Shopping Centres contribution to consolidated Capex amounted to 28.8 million euros, 29.8% below the 1Q07(R) contribution, reflecting progress in the development pipeline of 14 projects under development, with an estimated investment of 1,900 million euros and scheduled to open by the end of 2011. The contribution to consolidated Capex from the Telecommunications business amounted to 35.4 million euros, a decrease of 8.3% compared to 1Q07(R), reflecting investments at the Mobile division geared to accelerate the extension of coverage and capacity of its 2G/3G network to improve quality of service and consolidate the leading position in the mobile broadband market. Capex at the holding reached 15 million euros when compared to 1 million euros at 1Q07(R), mainly comprising the acquisition of approximately 7 million Sonaecom shares in the quarter.

Consolidated net debt at the end of 1Q08 stood at 3,013.2 million euros, an increase of 392.2 million euros over year end 2007, reflecting: (i) a 193.3 million euros increase in the contribution to consolidated net debt from the Retail business, in 1Q08, explained by a new debt contracted to the funding of the seasonal increase in working capital in the quarter, the strong programme of organic growth and store refurbishment; (ii) a 47.8 million euros increase in the contribution to consolidated net debt from the Shopping Centre business, related with financing needs for the on-going development pipeline; and (iii) a 32.9 million euros increase in the contribution from the Telecommunications business, mainly reflecting its FCF evolution in the quarter. Total gross debt as at end 1Q08 attributable to the Shopping Centres business is fully and exclusively guaranteed by the assets of each project.
At the end of 1Q08, net debt to EBITDA (last 12 months) reached 4.3x, a deterioration of 0.5x when compared to 3.7x at end 2007, mainly reflecting the Capex and working capital requirements in the quarter, and despite the higher EBITDA (last 12 months) at the end of 1Q08. Interest cover deteriorated to 2.6x, from 2.9x at end of 1Q07(R), due to the higher interest cost in the quarter, as a result of increased market interest index rates and higher average net debt levels y.o.y. It should be noted that EBITDA (last 12 months) only includes one quarter's contribution from the retail operation we acquired, while Net Debt over the period reflects the full
payment of the acquisition price of 664 million euros, which was paid on 31 December 2007. The ratio of consolidated debt to total equity was 66.6%, 1.9pp above year end 2007.
3.1. Retail

Food retail registered a solid 23.1% sales growth in 1Q08, compared to 1Q07, with an underlying 1% like-for-like growth, despite greater competitive pressure and a more challenging macroeconomic environment, and notwithstanding the significant sales benefit obtained in 1Q07 from effects of the launch of the loyalty card. This performance in sales was mainly explained by: (i) the accelerated expansion plan in progress, with the opening of 21 new food retail stores in the last 12 months; (ii) the integration of the 12 retail stores acquired, although no major refurbishment investments have yet been concluded; and (iii) the impact of an early Easter and an additional calendar day.
Non-food retail sales increased by 24% in 1Q08 over 1Q07, with an underlying 6% like-for-like growth. This increase was primarily the result of: (i) expansion of the store network, with the opening of 108 new non-food retail stores, equal to approximately 47 thousand m2 of additional sales area, in the last 12 months; (ii) integration of the heavy bazaar from the stores acquired; and (iii) increased consumer awareness and improved operational performance of the non-food formats.
Sonae Distribuição ended 1Q08 with 655 stores and twelve brands1 , amounting to a total of 714 thousand m2 of sales area, 31% above the 546 thousand m2 sales area at end 1Q07. Total sales area owned reached 535 thousand m2 at end 1Q08, representing approximately 75% of the stores network sales area and responsible for approximately 80% of the 1Q08 annualized sales2 . When compared to the previous quarter, the company continued with its strong pace of organic growth in non-food based retail, with the opening of 10 new stores, amounting to a total of 5 thousand m2 sales area. To the non-food store portfolio, Sonae Distribuição added the opening of 1 Worten, 1 Sportzone, 2 Maxmat&Maxgarden, 1 Zippy, 4 Área Saúde and 1 Worten Mobile, thereby strengthening its presence in the Portuguese market.
1 Modelo Bonjour is classified as Modelo since January 2008.

Turnover increased by a significant 27.7% to 926.5 million euros, compared to 725.5 million euros in 1Q07, mainly due to the expanded store network in the quarter, driven by the ongoing investment in organic growth, the inclusion of the 12 retail stores acquired in 2007 and the impact of an early Easter and an additional calendar day in February 2008. This positive performance was achieved notwithstanding the impact of the loyalty card launched in January 2007, which boosted sales registered in 1Q07, a more challenging economic outlook and a market with increased competiveness.
In 1Q08, Turnover included the revenue generated by the 8 Petrol Stations acquired as part of the purchase of a retail company in 2007. On February 2008, we announced their operational transfer to GALP, which is still pending Competition authority approval.
EBITDA in 1Q08 reached 48.8 million euros, up by 6.6% when compared to 46 million euros in 1Q07, reflecting the company's ongoing focus on containing costs and achieving productivity gains in operations. Food retail EBITDA has increased 14.9% over 1Q07 and Non-food retail reached an EBITDA of 7.5 million euros, up 7.1% over 1Q07. 2 extraordinary impacts affected both 1Q08 and 1Q07 results: (i) a 9 million euros capital gain in 1Q08, related to the sale of a Brazilian site in Florianópolis; and (ii) a 12 million euros capital gain in 1Q07, generated by the sale of the real estate assets of the Albufeira and Portimão Shopping galleries in February 2007. Excluding the impact of these non-recurrent capital gains, EBITDA would have risen by an impressive 17.8%, from 33.8 million euros in 1Q07, to 39.8 million euros in 1Q08.
EBITDA generated a margin of 5.3%, 1.1pp down on the 6.3% margin in 1Q07, mainly due to: (i) the impact on margin of the Petrol Stations acquired as part of the purchase of a retail company in 2007; and (ii) the non-recurrent capital gains impacting EBITDA trends. Food retail EBITDA margin reached 4.64% in 1Q08, compared to 4.97% in 1Q07, and non-food retail margin amounted to 3.04%, compared to 3.52% in 1Q07, with performance primarily explained by: (i) the expected costs of the integration of the retail operation; and (ii) an extended new store network, opened during the last 2 years, with a performance still below that expected on a ongoing basis.
Sonae Sierra increased profitability in 1Q08, achieving a good set of results underpinned by the significant portfolio of assets under management, reflecting its international foothold expansion strategy. Also worthy of note is the activity of the Developments unit, with an increased pipeline of projects under development.

As at the end of 1Q08, Sonae Sierra owned or co-owned 47 shopping centres, an increase of 17.5% compared to end 1Q07, with more than 1.85 million GLA, as compared to 1.66 million GLA in 1Q07. The number of shopping centres under management increased by 6.8% to 63, at the end of 1Q08, reflecting the significant increase in activity in this area during the last 12 months. In 1Q08, the company did not open or acquire any shopping centres.
The company ended the quarter with 29 new projects in the pipeline, of which 14 under development and scheduled to open by 2011, and the remaining still uncommitted. Total projects under development amounted to an estimated investment of 1,900 million euros and a total Gross Lettable Area of 619.3 thousand m2, with the following breakdown: 27.1% Romania, 17.7% Italy, 12.8% Brazil, 10.3% Spain, 9.8% Greece, 9% Germany and 3.3% Portugal. In 1Q08, Sonae Sierra stepped up efforts in the development of the 4 Shopping Centres estimated to be opened during 2008, of which 1 is in Spain, 2 in Italy and 1 in Greece. After the quarter end, Sonae Sierra successfully opened one of these projects in Italy: Freccia Rossa.
Importantly, Sonae Sierra launched the Sierra Portugal Fund, a fund comprising a portfolio of Portuguese shopping centres, for which Sonae Sierra accumulates the role of investor, asset and property manager. The fund was seeded with eight shopping centres and also benefits from a pipeline of three projects currently being developed in Portugal, with a total equity of 300 million euros. In this initial closing, Sonae Sierra kept a shareholding position of 60%, with the remaining 40% being acquired by three reference investors, namely a Finnish pension fund, a Finnish mutual pension insurance company and 2 real estate funds both managed by Schroeder Investment Management. Further closings are planned for 2008, through which Sonae Sierra intends to reduce its holding.
The fair value of the real estate in operation is provided by an independent entity, Cushman & Wakefield, only twice a year – at the half year and year end. At end 1Q08, the open market value of 100% of Sonae Sierra's real estate properties decreased by 42 million to 6,112 million euros when compared to the latest valuation of 6,154 million euros as at end 2007, exclusively due to adverse foreign exchange effect from the depreciation of the Brazilian currency in the quarter. When compared to 1Q07, Sonae Sierra's open market value increased by 28% in 1Q08, of which the percentage controlled by Sonae Sierra represented 3.8 million euros compared to 2.8 million euros in 1Q07. On a like-for-like basis, open market value increased by 10%, from 2.8 million euros in 1Q07 to 3.1 million euros in 1Q08.
The NAV at end of 1Q08 of the properties attributable to Sonae Sierra improved by 13% to 1,668 million euros, corresponding to a value per share of 51.2 euros, compared to a value per share of 45.6 euros in 1Q07. This was mainly due to the compression of yields in the real estate market. When compared to end 2007, NAV deteriorated by 45 million euros, mainly reflecting the higher dividends paid of 49.7 million euros, 20 million euros more than the amount distributed in 1Q08, and the depreciation of the Brazilian currency, impacting negatively the NAV by 11 million euros.

Turnover increased by 26% to 79.7 million euros, compared to 63.3 million euros in 1Q07. Services business income amounted to 16.5 million euros, up 25.6% when compared to 13.1 million euros in 1Q07, with main contributions coming from: (i) 21.7% increase in Asset Management income, mainly driven by the increased value of assets under management; (ii) 19.7% increase in Property Management income, explained by the growth of properties under management and a higher letting services income; and (iii) 46.4% higher operating income at Developments, with the increase of the number and dimension of the projects in the pipeline, leading to higher project development fees and increased value created in projects. Sierra Investments turnover increased by 28.6% to 61 million euros, explained by a 28% increase in rental income to 56 million euros, mainly achieved through a combination of acquisitions, increases in ownership share of several shopping centres in Portugal and organic growth of the existing portfolio; on a like-for-like basis, rental income increased 3% compared to 1Q07.
Sonae Sierra's EBITDA, excluding value created on investment properties reached 47.6 million euros in 1Q08, an increase of 31.2% over 1Q07. EBITDA of the various Services was 14.2 million euros, up 5.7 million euros compared to 1Q07, reflecting: (i) a 45.8% increase from Asset Management, generating an EBITDA of 3.5 million euros, a higher growth rate than that of turnover, reflecting the scale benefits from Sonae Sierra's portfolio expansion and productivity gains; (ii) a 76% growth from Developments, compared to 1Q07, with EBITDA totalling 8.6 million euros explained by the increased number of projects under development; and (iii) an EBITDA of 2.2 million euros at the Property Management division, 69.5% above 1Q07, with the more dynamic letting activity and the larger portfolio under management offsetting the increase in headcount necessary in this area to cope with the significant present and future increases in management services. The Investments EBITDA was 45.8 million euros, up 10 million euros
compared to 1Q07, driven mainly by the acquisition of new shopping centres and the organic growth of the portfolio of assets owned.
The income from gains realized on investment properties was 10.9 million, related with the 40% sale of the Sierra Portugal Fund, net of set-up costs, reflecting the write back of deferred tax liabilities related to unrealised gains on investment properties, that had been accounted for in the balance sheet under the IAS rules.
During 1Q08, Sonaecom continued to deliver growth in customers and customer revenues, on the back of the increased marketing and commercial activity in the quarter, with an EBITDA result matching last year's result in absolute terms.

Sonaecom's mobile customer base increased by 11.3% to 2,927 million customers, compared to 2,629 million customers at end of 1Q07, with net additions of 33 thousand in the quarter, up by 22% compared to 1Q07, reflecting further progress in Sonaecom's growth strategy, including its planned investments in supporting the Optimus' brand, in improving distribution capacity, and in the development of its fixed-mobile convergent product "Optimus Home" and wireless broadband service "Kanguru".
Mobile customers generated an ARPU of 17.0 euros, down from an ARPU of 17.7 euros in 1Q07, of which 13.2 euros related to customer monthly bill and 3.8 euros related to operator revenues, which compares to 13.5 euros and 4.2 euros respectively in 1Q07. This decrease in ARPU is mainly explained by: (i) the decrease of 9.1% in operator revenues ARPU, due to reductions in roaming-in tariffs; (ii) the decrease of 2.2% in customer monthly bill, due to higher price pressure on voice tariffs, mainly in the SME and Corporate segments, and (iii) to the increased weight of Sonaecom's fixed-mobile convergent product, "Optimus Home", which was not fully offset by increased minutes of use in the period. By end 1Q08, data revenues represented 20.6% of service revenues, 4.6pp higher than in 1Q07, as the result the success of Sonaecom's wireless broadband solutions and related promotional campaigns to increase usage.
Sonaecom's wireline accesses reached 775.2 thousand at end 1Q08, an increase of 97% compared to 1Q07. On a like-for-like basis, total accesses increased 14.2%, excluding the impact of ONI's residential and SoHo customer base and Tele2 Portugal customers. Total direct accesses represented 67.2% of Sonaecom's wireline customer base in 1Q08, compared to 78.6% in 1Q07, reflecting the higher indirect customer base resulting from the acquisition of Tele2. Direct net additions in 1Q08 were, approximately, 10 thousand accesses, a decrease from the 28 thousand accesses in 1Q07, as a result of the lower rate of expansion of the ULL addressable market, the increased competitive pressures in the market and the growing use of mobile broadband services.

Sonaecom turnover increased by 19.5% in 1Q08 to 237.7 million euros compared to 1Q07, notwithstanding the significant competitive pressures in the Portuguese telecoms market, with the main players very active in all key segments of the market. The main contributions to this performance came from: (i) 38.8% higher service revenues from the Wireline business, mainly due to the significant increase in customer revenues, up by 84.9%, driven by the growth in both direct access revenues, up 60.7% on 1Q07, and indirect access revenues, up 9.8 million euros; (ii) 6.7% increase in Mobile's service revenues, the highest year on year increase of the last 3 years, with the 8.4% growth of customer revenues more than offsetting the negative impact of lower roaming-in tariffs; (iii) 44.9% higher service revenues from SSI, driven by the good performance of all its businesses; and (iv) notwithstanding the 2.0% decrease in Media's service revenues, driven primarily by lower advertising revenues.
Excluding the contributions from the businesses acquired during 20073 , Sonaecom's turnover would have grown by 9.7%, compared to 1Q07, reflecting the increase in service revenues by 7.8% and customer revenues by 11.2%.
EBITDA reached 34.1 million euros in 1Q08, generating a margin of 14.3%, compared to an EBITDA of 34.0 million euros and a margin of 17.1% in 1Q07. This performance was mainly driven by strong operational results at the Wireline division, which were almost fully off-set by the increased marketing & sales costs at the Mobile division and the integration costs related with acquisitions. The Mobile business generated EBITDA of 33.1 million euros, compared to 35 million euros in 1Q07, mainly driven by the rebranding operation and increased commercial activity in the quarter, combined with the negative impact from lower roaming-in tariffs. The Wireline business generated an EBITDA of 2.5 million euros compared to 0.2 million euros in 1Q07, reflecting the scale benefits of an higher direct access customer base, achieved via organic growth, which is generating an increasingly positive contribution to profitability since 2H06. EBITDA at SSI decreased from 1.2 million in 1Q07 to 0.9 million in 1Q08, with higher service revenues in all its businesses not compensating the costs of integration and the improving but still negative contributions in 1Q08 from the companies acquired by WeDo. Público's EBITDA was a negative 1.2 million euros, a slight improvement when compared to 1Q07, with improved performance in product sales, up by 17.7% over 1Q07, almost fully off-set by the negative performance in advertising revenues and the growth in marketing & sales costs.
3 In 2007, Sonaecom acquired ONI residential and SOHO customers, Tele2 Portugal, Cape Technologies, Praesidium and Tecnológica.
The following events, which took place after 31 March 2008 but before the approval of the quarterly accounts by the Board, should be noted:

On 15 November 2007, Sonae SGPS, SA sold, 132,856,072 Sonae SGPS, SA shares directly owned by the Company. The shares were sold in a market operation at the unit price of 2.06 euro per share and resulted on a cash inflow (net of brokerage commissions) of 273,398,877 euro.
On the same date, Sonae Investments, BV, wholly owned by Sonae SGPS, SA, entered into a derivative financial instrument - Cash Settled Equity Swap over a total of 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares, representative of 6.64% of its capital.
This transaction has a maximum maturity of three years and a strictly financial liquidation, without any duty or right for the Company or any of its associated companies in the purchase of these shares. This transaction allows Sonae to totally maintain the economic exposure to the sold shares.
In this context, although legally all the rights and obligations inherent to these shares have been transferred to the buyer, Sonae SGPS, SA did not derecognize its own shares, recording a liability in the caption Other non-current liabilities (Note 20). According to the interpretation made by the Group of IAS 39, applied by analogy to own equity instruments, the derecognition of own shares is not allowed as the group maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.
Consequently, the Group maintains the deduction from Equity amounting to the acquisition cost of the 132,800,000 shares (138,568,275 euro), and has accounted for the consideration received for the above mentioned sale of own shares in the caption Other non-current liabilities (273,568,000 euro).
Due to the detach of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA demerger rights attributable to the 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares subject of the above mentioned agreement, the Group recognized an asset corresponding to the fair value of those rights. This asset as not been derecognized as the Group also entered into a Cash Settled Equity Swap over the Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares, and therefore a liability was recognized. Consequently, and in relation with this operation the full liability amount can be detailed as follows: market value of Sonae SGPS, SA shares amounting to 154,712,000 euro and market value of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares amounting to 22,908,000 euro.
These liabilities are adjusted at the end of each month by the effect of the change in Sonae, SGPS, S.A. or Sonae Capital, SGPS, S.A. share price, as applicable, being recognized an asset/liability in order to present the right/obligation related to the cash settlement of the operation that resets monthly (Notes 20 and 22).
Additionally, the costs related to the "floating amount" based on Euribor 1 month are recorded in the income statement.
The receivable amount arising on dividends distributed by the Company is credited to Equity in order to offset the charge of the distribution. The dividends attributable to the above mentioned share amount to 3,984,000 euro and were credited to Equity.
The number of shares taken into consideration to calculate earnings per share includes the shares referred to above as a deduction to the shares issued by the Company.
As at 31 March 2008, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

The Group uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows.
The Group contracted several exchange rate forwards and options in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.
As at 31 March 2008, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments, is of 585,599 euro included in Current liabilities (281,123 euro as of 31 December 2007) and 774,784 euro on the caption Current investments (2,151,335 euro as at 31 December 2007). From the total amount registered in Assets, 305,691 euro and in Liabilities, 263,244 euro refers to derivative transactions (Non Deliverable Forwards - "NDF") entered into during 2008 in order to hedge the exchange rate exposure as consequence of the share purchase agreement with the Sonae Sierra partner in Brazil (DDR), to reinvest the amount of 300,000,000 Brazilian Real until the end of 2009. The notional of the NDF amounts to 115.042.000 Brazilian Real.
The non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts (NDFs) are stated at their fair value at the balance sheet date, in accordance with a valuation made by the bank with which the NDF were contracted.
The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at balance sheet date of the forward settlement amount of the relevant NDF contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the reference currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate to the settlement date as at the valuation date.
Losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the caption Net financial expenses.
As at 31 March 2008, derivatives used by the Group refer essentially to interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 1,416,907,335 euro (1,302,514,561 euro as at 31 December 2007). The fair value of these derivatives amounts to 2,757,479 euro (8,344,227 euro as at 31 December 2007), and is disclosed as assets amounting to 5,122,991 euro (9,172,426 euro as at 31 December 2007) and as liabilities amounting to 2,365,512 euro (828,199 euro as at 31 de December de 2007). As at 31 March 2008, 48,163 euro of the amount disclosed as liabilities (82,340 euro as at 31 December 2007) relates to derivatives on loans which no longer qualify as hedging derivatives, although continuing to hedge interest risks.
These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the balance sheet date, based on valuations performed by the Group using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was calculated, as at the balance sheet date, based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg. The calculation of the fair value of options was based on the "Black-Scholes" and similar models.
As at 31 March 2008 no contracts existed related to interest rate and exchange rate derivatives.
The fair value of derivatives is detailed as follows:
| Assets | Liabilities | |||

In 2008 and in previous years, the Sonae Group granted deferred performance bonuses to its directors and eligible employees. These are either based on shares to be acquired at nil cost, three years after they were attributed to the employee, or based on share options with the exercise price equal to the share price at the grant date, to be exercised three years later. In both cases, the acquisition can be exercised during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and the end of that year. The company has the choice to settle in cash instead of shares. The option can only be exercised if the employee still works for the Group on the vesting date.
