To the Shareholders

Pursuant to the legal and statutory requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. hereby presents its Director's Report for the year 2014. According to number 6 of article 508 - C of the Portuguese Companies Act, the Board of Directors decided to submit a single Board of Directors' Report, fulfilling all legal requirements.

INTRODUCTION

Altri was incorporated as of March 2005, as a result of the demerger of Cofina. Altri is a reference European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and is a listed company included in NYSE Euronext Lisbon, integrating the PSI 20 (Portuguese Stock Index), the benchmark stock market index. In addition to pulp production, the company is also present in the sector of renewable energy based on forest resources, namely industrial cogeneration from black liquor and biomass. The forestry strategy is based on full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.

Over the past years, Altri invested in Portugal about 510 million euro, mainly on Celbi and Celtejo unities. Currently, Altri owns three pulp mills in Portugal with a total capacity above 990,000 tons/year of bleached eucalyptus pulp in 2014. There is an ongoing process of small investments, to increase production capacity of Celbi and Caima, whose completion is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2015. Caima, after the completion of the conversion project to dissolving pulp will produce 105 thousand tons. On the other hand, Celbi will have an installed capacity exceeding 700 thousand tons of bleached pulp type BEKP.

Currently, Altri manages over 84 thousand hectares of forest in Portugal. The company obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®)1 and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities.

Altri's industrial strategy implementation is based on integrated forest management in Portugal. This model is based on forest optimization, ensuring a full recovery of all its components. Thus, the eucalyptus is processed in Altri mills, producing pulp and power (cogeneration). The bark, the branches and forest waste are used to produce electric energy from biomass.

Until June 2008, Altri had another industrial activity through F. Ramada, which was devoted to retail steel and development of industrial solutions for storage systems. In June 2008 took place the demerger of F. Ramada. The strategic rational of this operation lies in focusing Altri exclusively on its core business: forest management and production of pulp.

Since the beginning of its activity Altri carried out various acquisitions (Celtejo in 2005 and in 2006 Celbi) that allowed Altri to reinforce its position in its operating markets through the development of a set of capacity increase projects.

For a better valuation of forest resources, Altri acquired in 2005, 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A., in a jointventure with EDP to produce electricity from forest biomass. This company is leader in its market segment with a share of 50% of licenses to produce electricity through forest biomass.

Altri's organic structure is as follows:

MACROECONOMIC BACKGROUND

The year 2014 was marked, in geopolitical terms, by the strong disputes between Russia and Ukraine of which resulted the annexation of the Crimea by the first, which resulted in the imposition of international sanctions. 2014 was also marked by the strong appreciation of the dollar against most world currencies and by the sharp fall in oil that threatens to radically change the existing economic power relationship between producer and consumer countries.

In Europe, beyond the impact of the situation in Ukraine, 2014 was a quieter year than the previous years, until near the end of the year. At that time, Greece has emerged again as a source of concern, with the schedule of elections for 2015. The growth was again very low and the economy takes a long time to regain dynamism. The policies pursued by the ECB to lower rates for negative values and gradually enter in a process of placing more liquidity in the markets, have not had effect economically in 2014. Even with low interest rates, with much less valued currency against the dollar and the fall in energy prices, the European economy was almost stagnant. The most indebted countries now have greater access to the market and to lower rates, a situation that led to the consolidation effort by expenditure adjustment started to fall behind.

The European Central Bank reference rate dropped to 0.05% and the rate of daily absorption of liquidity was placed in -0.20%, meaning that banks with excess liquidity on their balance sheets now have to pay to deposit in the ECB.

After a 0.4% fall in 2013, the GDP in the euro area will have increased 0.1% in 2014. However, the unemployment continued to be a major problem.

The Portuguese economy has stabilized its activity in 2014, a trend that is expected to have continuity in the following future quarters, continuing the recovery that began in 2013. The latest figures released by the Bank of Portugal indicate a growth of 0.9% in 2014.

In a year that Portugal has successfully completed the financial and economic assistance program, domestic demand took over the lead role in GDP growth. This domestic demand standardization context resulted in an increase in imports, which has made the contribution of external demand was negative - a standard of the Portuguese economy situation.

In terms of inflation, Portugal does not flee to the negative trend felt in most advanced economies and particularly in the euro zone. Inflation in Portugal ended the year at -0.4% (average inflation of -0.3%), with the fall in oil prices contributing to this fall, which can continue for at least the first months of 2015 when the effect may even intensify.

The predictions for 2015 reflect the continuity of the process of moderate economic recovery and the gradual adjustment of the macroeconomic imbalances, with the Bank of Portugal predicting an increase of 1.5% for this year.

These projections are in line with the Government (the OECD and EC are more moderate, pointing to 1.3%) and assume a continued growth on exports, as well as an acceleration of investment, along with some deceleration in private consumption - the evolution of domestic demand is expected to remain constrained by high private sector indebtedness and the fiscal consolidation.

After a first quarter with negative growth of 2.9%, much by fault of unusually adverse weather conditions, the US economy grew at a rate that is no longer recorded long ago, with + 4.6% to + 5 % in the second and third quarters respectively. The unemployment rate continued to fall, closing the year at 5.6% and the trade balance continues to improve, which is not surprising given the constant fall in the imported oil values, both in terms of quantity or price.

On the other hand, an important part of the growth of recent years originated from the oil and gas holdings originating from the shale, so the decline in oil prices in international markets could have an impact on GDP.

With regard to monetary policy, there is a gradual reduction of the monthly program of buying Treasury bonds, until its extinction in October.

In terms of future predictions, the IMF has lowered by 0.3 percentage point the forecasts for the world economy in 2015 and 2016 to 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. The Institution considers that the depreciation of currencies like the euro and the yen, and especially the fall in oil prices, are insufficient to offset the legacy of the financial crisis in many countries, it urged governments and central banks to continue with accommodative monetary policies.

The US has again a positive prediction, with a growth projection of 3.6% in 2015 (compared to 3.1% previously predicted). In the euro zone, the only positive point is Spain, where the growth was also revised upwards (from 1.7% to 2.0%).

STOCK EXCHANGE EVOLUTION

(Note: in order to enable a better comparison of the stock fluctuations, the PSI 20 index has been considered as being equal in value to the opening price of the shares.)

GROUP'S ACTIVITY

With its genesis in the reorganization process of Cofina with the purpose of setting into a separate holding the industrial operations, Altri held until 1 June 2008 the investments in the paper, pulp, steel and storage systems. On that date the business of steel and storage systems was demerged to F. Ramada Investimentos SGPS, S.A.. This reorganization was part of a focusing and business transparency strategy, aiming at giving greater visibility to each area and increasing market's perception of value.

The main investments held by Altri are as follows:

  • Caima Indústria de Celulose (Constância), producer and distributor of paper pulp;
  • Celulose da Beira Industrial (Celbi) (Figueira da Foz), producer and distributor of paper pulp;
  • Celtejo Empresa de Celulose do Tejo (Vila Velha de Ródão), producer and distributor of paper pulp;
  • Altri Florestal (Constância), manager of the Group's forestry resources.

Moreover, in order to fulfil its energetic needs and expand its activity in a strategic sector, the Group holds a participation of 50% of the share capital of EDP Bioeléctrica.

The consumption of hardwood pulp, in 2014, reached 29.8 million tons, which represents an increase by 940 thousand tons over the previous year. In geographical terms, China consumed 8.8 million tons in 2014, which represents an increase of 5.7% compared to 2013, while the consumption in Occidental Europe reached 8.8 million tons, which represents an increase of 1.7%.

In the 4th quarter of 2014, the BEKP price, in USD, was categorized by a slight increase of 1% compared to previous quarter. However, when converted to euro, the increase was much more pronounced, reaching 7%.

In 2014 Altri reached, again, a new record of production and sales of pulp. Thus, during this year Altri's three mills produced 990.7 thousand tons of pulp.

Evolution of pulp production between 2013 and 2014 by mill (thousand tons)

The main Altri mill, Celbi, produced 687 thousand tons of pulp, which represents an increase of about 20.4 thousand tons compared to 2013 (+3%); Celtejo produced 218 thousand tons, representing an increase of 0.6 (+0.3%) and Caima produced 86 thousand tons, which represents a decrease of 3.2 thousand tons compared to 2013 (-4%). The decrease recorded in Caima's production is related to the conversion to dissolving pulp. It is expected that the project ends in June 2015, increasing the level of capacity of the industrial unit to 105 thousand tons.

In terms of pulp sales, 998 thousand tons were sold, more 3.5% of pulp sales compared to 2013 (964 thousand tons).

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Altri believes that the welfare of its stakeholders, including society in general, their customers, their suppliers, their employees and their shareholders, depends on the continued success of the company and on its commitment to sustainable development.

Altri is responsible to continuously improve its environmental and social performance looking for a continued increase in return of capital from its shareholders.

Environment: renewable raw materials from sustainably managed forests are the base for the production of Altri's pulp in Portugal, which manages a large area of certified forest, and all the wood produced in these areas is to supply its mills.

Altri is self-sufficient in electricity, using cogeneration systems where it is made a combined production of thermal energy and electrical power for industrial use. The excess of electricity is placed in the national network. Investment in new technologies and investing in best practices in energy efficiency have enabled to produce almost all its energy by the burning of biofuels.

It has taken a lot of efforts in optimizing the balance of electric power in Altri's mills, reflecting the importance of energy for the Group. Also, the water consumption has declined over the years.

The emission of some gaseous pollutants also reduced significantly, showing the Group's commitment to continuous improvement of its environmental performance.

The other indicators of eco-efficiency and environmental performance in the areas of water, air, waste and natural resources, have remained stable and in line with the best available techniques defined for the sector of pulp and paper reflected in the environmental certifications of the three mills of Altri.

Certification of Management Systems: All industrial units of Altri have its management systems certified in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 and have their laboratories certified by ISO / IEC 17025. Celbi and Celtejo have implemented energy management systems, certified according to ISO 50001. Celbi and Caima are also registered under EMAS, a Community Eco-management and Audit System of the European Union. Celtejo has its system of Research, Development and Innovation certified by the Norm NP 4457.

The responsibility's chains of wood supply are also certified by international standards of forest management (FSC® – Forest Stewardship Council ® and PEFC - Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes), which demonstrates the commitment established in the supply policy of Altri to check the origin of the wood along the supply chain.

Human Resources: Investing in developing the skills of senior staff, the Group began in 2013 a training program which will run until mid-2015, with the goal of consolidating knowledge in areas of communication, management and leadership techniques. This challenge is partnered with Porto Business School.

Social Responsibility: In its relationship with society, Altri streamlines the economy of the areas in which it operates, particularly in the creation of direct and indirect employment. It also has a policy of granting internships, whether professional or as a complement to the school curriculum, which allow young people the opportunity to have contact with a business reality.

In partnership with several local institutions, Altri tries to develop and support initiatives and activities essential to the creation of relevant relationships with the surrounding community. Through donations and logistical support, the Group seeks to identify and support projects with merit and impact on the population's quality of living.

Altri's total revenues reached 552.9 million euro in 2014, which represents a reduction of 3.4% compared to 2013.

Excluding depreciation, financial costs and taxes, total costs in 2014 reached approximately 439.3 million euro, a 1.9% increase compared to 2013. With regard to payroll, the Group changed its pension funds from defined benefit to defined contribution.

The evolution in the caption "other costs", which decreased 77%, reflects the reduction of the impact of pulp future contracts either by the decline in pulp prices in 2014, either because the last contracts reached their maturity.

During the year 2014 there was a relative stability on the weighted average cost of wood.

In 2014 EBITDA reached approximately 114 million Euro, a decrease of 20% compared to 2013 and the EBITDA margin of 2014 reached 20.5% (-4.2 p.p.). The operational result (EBIT) recorded a decrease of 27% compared to 2013, reaching 65 million Euro.

The financial result amounted to a net charge of 24.4 million Euro, corresponding to an average cost of debt of 4.4%. The caption "gains and losses in associated companies" essentially refers to the appropriation of 50% of the profit of EDP Bioeléctrica, a company 50% owned by Altri and consolidated by the equity method.

Altri's net profit reached 37.4 million Euro, having recorded a decrease of 33% comparing to the previous year.

The total investment (CAPEX) performed in 2014 by the industrial units amounted to 41.2 million Euro.

Altris's nominal remunerated debt net of cash and investments available for sale as of 31 December 2014 reached 514.7 million Euro corresponding to a decrease about 48.5 million Euro compared to 2013 (563.2 million Euro). It should be highlighted that, in 2014, the company paid 8.6 million Euro in dividends related to 2013. Thus the free cash flow generated in 2014 reached 57.1 million Euro.

Therefore, the company kept its priority financial strategy, which is based on systematic annual reduction of net debt through the free cash flow generated by the operating activity. Thus, it should be noted that, between 2009 and 2014, the net debt was reduced by 285 million Euro.

Evolution of free cash flow equity since 2010

In February 2015, Altri has reimbursed the bonds "Celbi 2015", amounting to 300 million Euro. Altri currently holds unused available credit lines exceeding 150 million Euro.

The weighted average cost of net debt amounted, during 2014, to 4.4%. However, as of today, the weighted average cost of Altri's debt is less than 4%.

ACTIVITY DEVELOPED BY THE NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During 2014, the non-executive directors of the Company have developed regularly and effectively their functions which consist in monitoring and evaluating the activities of the executive directors.

Among others, during 2014, the non-executive directors regularly and actively attended the Board of Directors meetings, discussing the matters under consideration and expressing their respective opinions on the Group's strategic guidelines. Whenever necessary, they maintained a close contact with the financial and operational key staff of the Group companies. In the year 2014, and during the Board of Directors' meetings, the executive members provided all the information required by the remaining members of the Board of Directors.

PROPOSAL OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROPRIATION OF THE NON CONSOLIDATED NET PROFIT FOR THE YEAR

Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A., as holding company of the Group, recorded in its individual financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, a net profit of 18,627,109.20 Euro, for which, in accordance with the applicable legislation and the Company's articles of association, the Board of Directors proposes to General Shareholders Meeting the following appropriation:

Legal reserve 931,355.46
Free reserves 1,285,219.98
Dividends distribution 16,410,533.76
---------------------
18,627,109.20
============

2015 OUTLOOK

In operational terms, Celbi, the main industrial unity of Altri group, will perform in April 2015 its programed annual stoppage for maintenance, exceeding 10 days.

Currently, there are in course some small investments that aim to increase the operational efficiency and productive capacity of Celbi and Caima, which conclusion is forecasted to happen April in Celbi and in June in Caima. After the conclusion of the project to convert to specialty pulp, Caima will produce 105 thousand tons. On its hand, Celbi will have an installed capacity of production greater than 700 thousand tons of BEKP pulp.

The actual context of exchange rate EUR/USD has significant impacts in the sales volume and profitability since the pulp selling price is directly related to that exchange rate.

18. Distinction to be drawn between executive and non-executive directors and, as regards non-executive members, details of members that may be considered independent

The composition of the Board of Directors complies with a balance between the number of executive and nonexecutive directors.

As of December 31, 2014, the Board of Directors, composed by seven members, included three non-executive members: Pedro Macedo Pinto de Mendonça, Laurentina da Silva Martins and Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça.

The Board Directors does not include any member that satisfies the standard of independence referred in recommendation II.1.7 of Corporate Governance Code issued by the Portuguese Securities Regulator (CMVM) since the non-executive director Pedro Mendonça is relative of holders of qualifying holdings, the non-executive director Laurentina Martins was employee of the subsidiary Caima – Indústria de Celulose, S.A. and the non-executive director Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça, daughter of the director Pedro Macedo Pinto de Mendonça, is the director and controlling shareholder of the company Promendo SGPS, SA.

Despite these conditionals, to allow to the non-executive directors an independent and informed decision, the Company developed some mechanisms:

  • Notices of meetings of the Board of Directors sent to all directors include the agenda, even tentatively, of the meeting, and are accompanied by all the relevant information and documentation;
  • Availability of executive directors for the provision to non-executive directors, of any additional information which they consider relevant or necessary, and to carry out further studies and analyzes in relation to all matters which are the subject of deliberation or that, are under review in some way, in the Company;
  • The non executive directors have wide powers to obtain information on any aspect of the Company, to examine its books, records, documents and other antecedents of the Company's operations. They can request relevant information directly to the directors and to the financial and operating senior staff of all group companies, without requiring any intervention of the executive directors in this process.

Given the corporate model adopted and the composition and mode of operation of its governing boards, including the independence of the supervisory boards, without, delegation of powers among them, the Group considers that the designation of independent directors to the Board would not yield significant improvements for the proper functioning of the corporate governance model, which has revealed itself proper and efficient.

The Director's report includes in its chapter "Activity developed by the non-executive members of the Board," a description of the activity of the non-executive directors during 2014.

19. Professional qualifications and other relevant curricular information of each member of the Board of Directors

21. Organisational charts or flowcharts concerning the allocation of powers between the various corporate boards, committees and/or departments within the company, including information on delegating powers, particularly as regards the delegation of the company's daily management

The Board of Directors develops its functions of management and coordination of the Group companies on a collective basis and is currently made up of a president and six members, three of them being non-executive.

The Board has been exercising its activity in constant dialogue with the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor, providing the assistance requested with transparency and rigor, complying their regulations and best practices of corporate governance.

There is no limit to the maximum number of positions that the Board members can accumulate as directors of other companies. The members of Altri's Board of Directors are, in most cases, part of the management of the most significant group companies, so as to enable their activities to be more closely monitored.

The Board of Directors believes that due to its organizational structure, the only essential specialized commission taking into account its size and complexity, is the Remuneration Committee, as explained in paragraph 28 below.

The Remuneration Committee is the board responsible for performance evaluation and approving the remuneration of Board members and other corporate bodies, in compliance with the remuneration policy of the Company, approved by shareholders in General Meetings.

Altri's Corporate Finance area, given its integrated and cross-sectional view at the level of all companies in the group, is responsible, on the one hand, for the definition of financial management strategies and policies and, second, to secure interface capital markets, debt and banking.

This area is also responsible for monitoring the corporate governance policy with a view to achieving best practice in this area. This area is also responsible for drawing and / or analysis of contracts that maximize safety and reduce legal risks and potential costs, the management of issues relating to intellectual and industrial property used by the group, such as patents and trademarks, logos, domains and copyright, still exercising the corporate secretarial functions on a permanent monitoring of legal compliance, supporting the Board of Directors to implement their strategies.

The area of investor relations establishes the relationship between the group and the financial community, permanently disseminating relevant and updated information on the same activity. This area is also responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in providing updated information on the capital market as well as aid for the management of institutional relations of Altri, establishing permanent contact with institutional investors, shareholders and analysts and representing the group in associations , forums and events (national or international).

In addition, the operating companies of Altri have their own management control areas that exercise their activity at all levels of the subsidiary companies and prepare monthly reports periodically reported to the respective Boards of Directors.

The distribution of functions between the various members of the Board of Directors is carried out as follows:

Generically, Altri's directors focus their activities in managing the Group holdings and defining its strategic development guidelines. The strategic decisions are adopted by the Board including all its members, executives and non-executives, in the normal accomplishment of their duties.

The daily management of each subsidiary is a responsibility of its Board of Directors, which includes some of Altri's directors but also some other members with defined functions.

Thus, taking into consideration the activities developed by the Board Members, both in Altri and in the several subsidiaries, the functional organizational chart can be presented as follows:

The meetings of the Board are scheduled and prepared in advance, and timely documentation relating to the matters contained in its agenda are provided, to ensure all members of the Board the conditions for the informed exercise of their functions. Similarly, minutes of meetings, once approved, and the respective notices of meeting are forwarded to the President of the Supervisory Board.

c) Committees within the Board of Directors

27. Details of the committees created within the Board of Directors and the place where the rules on the functioning thereof is available

The Board of Directors believes that the only committee required to meet the essential needs of the Company, considering its size and complexity, is the Remuneration Committee.

Altri, SGPS, SA has set a Remuneration Committee for the period 2014/2016, which composition is as follows:

  • João da Silva Natária President
  • José Francisco Pais da Costa Leite Member
  • Pedro Nuno Fernandes de Sá Pessanha da Costa Member

The Remuneration Committee has a regulation valid for the current term, approved at a meeting of that committee held on December 2014 and which is available for consultation on the Company's website (www.altri.pt) (tab "About Altri", "Governance" section).

28. Composition, if applicable, of the executive board and/or identification of board delegates

Altri, considering its organizational structure, and the small size of the Board of Directors, composed by seven members, considers it unnecessary a formal appointment of an Executive Committee on the Board of Directors.

As stated in paragraph 18 of this report, four members of the Board of Directors perform executive functions, observing the following:

  • (i) notices of meetings of the Board of Directors sent to all directors include the agenda, even tentatively, of the meeting, and are accompanied by all the relevant information and documentation;
  • (ii) availability of executive directors for the provision to non-executive directors, of any additional information which they consider relevant or necessary, and to carry out further studies and analyses in relation to all matters which are the subject of deliberation or that, are under review in some way, in the Company;
  • (iii) the non executive directors have wide powers to obtain information on any aspect of the Company, to examine its books, records, documents and other antecedents of the Company's operations. They can request relevant information directly to the directors and to the financial and operating senior staff of all group companies, without requiring any intervention of the executive directors in this process.

Thus, the Company considers that are guaranteed the necessary conditions for decisions on strategic matters, taken by the Board of Directors as a body composed of all of its members, executive and non-executive, in the normal performance of their duties, enlightened and informed way, totally focused on creating value for shareholders.

However, the Board has regularly reflected on the adequacy of the organization, having been always the result of these reflections completion of the conformity of this structure with the best corporate governance practices, which has been materialized in the positive performance of the Company.

29. Description of the powers of each of the committees established and a summary of activities undertaken in exercising said powers

As mentioned in paragraphs 27 and 28, the Board of Directors believes that the only specialized committee indispensable to satisfy the needs of the Company, considering its dimension and complexity, is the Remuneration Committee.

According to the Articles of Association, the Remuneration Committee is the corporate board responsible for performance evaluation and approving the remuneration of Board members and other corporate boards, in compliance with the remuneration policy of the Company, approved by shareholders in General Meetings.

The performance assessment of executive directors belongs to the Remuneration Committee and is based on the functions performed by them in Altri and in the Group as well as the responsibility and the added value by each one of the directors and the accumulated experience and knowledge on their functions.

At December 31, 2014 the members of the Board of Directors are not remunerated by Altri, but directly by the subsidiaries where they have functions, so that the actual powers of the Remuneration Committee also focus on setting the remunerations of the company's Board of Directors members paid by other subsidiaries.

The Supervisory Board, in the fulfillment of its functions, annually assesses the External Auditor independence. Additionally, the Supervisory Board promotes whenever necessary or appropriate in light of developments in the Company's business or the evolution of the market, a reflection on the adequacy of the External Auditor to carry out its duties.

46. Details of services, other than auditing, carried out by the external auditor for the company and/or companies in a control relationship and an indication of the internal procedures for approving the recruitment of such services and a statement on the reasons for said recruitment

Other services rendered by External Auditor in 2014 include, essentially, services connected with validation of applications to governmental subsidies, with the review and monitoring of mergers occurred in 2014 and with the revision of tax files.

The other services are provided by different teams of those involved in the audit process, so it enhances auditor's independence.

The Supervisory Board has reviewed and approved the scope of those services and concluded that they did not threaten the independence of the External Auditor. In this particular aspect, the hiring of Deloitte & Associados, SROC, S.A. proved to be the most appropriate due to its solid experience and expertise in the field of taxation and fiscal incentives. Moreover, the intervention of Deloitte & Associados, SROC, S.A. is often combined with technicians and experts independent from its network, namely consultants.

In 2014, the fees charged by Deloitte & Associados, SROC, S.A. to Altri's Group represented less than 1% of the total annual turnover of Deloitte & Associados, SROC, S.A. in Portugal. The quality system of the External Auditor controls and monitors the potential risk of loss of independence or conflicts of interest with Altri.

Altri has a code of ethics and conduct that governs the ethical principles common to the whole Group and that apply to all relationships established between group companies and their stakeholders and has the main goal of driving, through common ethical principles, personal and professional behaviors of the group workers regardless their function or position.

The Code of Ethics and Conduct was widely disseminated to all employees and partners and is published on the Company's website (www.altri.pt) (tab "About Altri", "Governance" section).

III. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

50. Individuals, boards or committees responsible for the internal audit and/or implementation of the internal control systems

Risk management, as a key issue of the principles of good corporate governance is an area considered critical in Altri, which promotes permanent awareness of all employees, at all levels of the organization, putting in them such responsibility in all processes of decision-making.

Altri has no autonomous internal audit services and compliance. Risk management is ensured by the several Altri's operating units based on a preliminary identification and prioritization of critical risks, by developing risk management strategies in order to implement control procedures considered appropriate to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

Altri has been monitoring the appropriation of this risk management model that has proved to be entirely appropriate given the organizational structure of the Company.

51. Detail of hierarchical and/or functional dependency in relation to other boards or committees of the company

The Supervisory Board is responsible for supervise action taken related to the evaluation of the operation of risk management mechanisms. It is therefore responsibility of this corporate body the supervision of the actions carried out the Company in these matters.

The External Auditor, in the exercise of their functions, checks the adequacy of mechanisms and procedures involved ensuring the reporting of its conclusions to the Supervisory Board.

The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring these mechanisms and procedures.

52. Other functional areas responsible for risk control

The Board of Directors is the body responsible for setting the overall strategic guidelines of the group, and is duly supported by the subsidiary management teams, ensuring not only the continuous monitoring, and the reporting to the Board of Directors of Altri, of their situations detected, to ensure continuous and effective risk controls.

Risk management is ensured by various Altri's operating units. The methodology of risk management includes several steps:

  • First, internal and external risks that may materially affect the Groups' strategic objectives are identified and prioritized;
  • The operational management of the various business units identify risk factors and events that may affect the operations and activities of Altri, as well as any procedures and control mechanisms;
  • Additionally, the impact and the probability of occurrence of each risk factor are weighted and according to the exposure level, the need to respond to the risk is evaluated; and
  • The risk mitigation actions are monitored and the level of exposure to critical factors is constantly monitored.

The Board of Directors decides the level of exposure assumed by the group in its various activities and, without prejudice the delegation of tasks and responsibilities, sets overall limits of risk and ensures that policies and procedures for risk management are followed.

In the monitoring of the risk management process the Board of Directors as a board responsible for Altri's strategy, has the following objectives and responsibilities:

  • Be aware of the most significant risks affecting the group;
  • Ensure the existence within the Group, of appropriate levels of knowledge of the risks affecting the operations and how to manage them;
  • Ensure the disclosure of the risk management strategy at all levels of hierarchy;
  • Ensure that the Group is able to minimize the likelihood and impact of risks in the business; and
  • Ensure that the risk management process is adequate and that it maintains a close monitoring of those risks with higher probability of occurrence and higher impact in the group´s operations.

The subsidiaries manage their own risks, within the established criteria and delegations set by the board of Directors.

53. Details and description of the major economic, financial and legal risks to which the company is exposed in pursuing its business activity

The Board of Directors considers that the Group is exposed to the normal risks associated with its operations, namely in its operating units. Therefore, the main risks considered by the Group are:

Credit risk

Like any activity involving a commercial component, the Group's exposure to credit risk is attributable mainly to the accounts receivable resulting from the Group's operating activity.

This risk is monitored and controlled through a system for collecting financial and qualitative information, provided by entities that provide credible risk information, which allows customers to evaluate the feasibility of the fulfilment of their obligations, in order to minimize the risk associated with granting credit.

Credit risk evaluation is done in a regular basis, by analysing the current economic conjuncture conditions, in particular the credit situation of each company and, when necessary, adopting the corrective measures.

Credit risk is mitigated by the management of risk concentration of customer and by careful selection of counterparties and the credit insurance contracts with specialized institutions and covering a significant portion of credit granted.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

Considering the Group's debt, possible variations on the interest rate may have an unwanted impact on the results. Therefore, the Group adopts a balanced position between the cost of the debt and its exposure to the interest rate variability. When the reasonable risk is exceeded, the Group engages interest rate swaps in order to reduce its exposure to risk and to restrict the potential volatility of results.

The Group's exposure to interest rates arises primarily from long-term loans which consist mostly of debt indexed to Euribor.

Exchange rate risk

Due to the great volume of transactions with non-resident entities and with different currencies, exchange rate instability might have a relevant impact on the Group's performance. Therefore, whenever the Group considers necessary to reduce the volatility of its results, the position is covered by contracting derivatives to reduce the volatility of its results.

Commodities price variability risk

By developing its activity in a sector of commodities (paper pulp), the Group is particularly exposed to its price fluctuations, with the correspondent impacts in their results. However, being in these sectors allows the access to paper pulp price fluctuations hedging contracts in amounts considered adequate for the foreseen operations, reducing the volatility of group's results.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk can occur if the sources of financing, such as operating cash flows, cash flows of disinvestment, credit lines and cash flows from financing do not meet the financing needs, such as outputs cash for operating and financing activities, investment, shareholders returns and debt repayment.

The main objective of the liquidity risk management policy is to ensure that the Group is available at all times, the financial resources needed to meet its responsibilities and pursue the strategies outlined by honouring all commitments made to third parties when they become due, through proper management of the maturity of funding.

The Group adopts an active strategy of refinancing focused on maintaining a high level of immediately available funds to meet short term needs and the extension or maintenance of debt maturity in accordance with the forecasted cash flows and the capacity of leveraging of the balance sheet.

Legal, Fiscal and Regulation risks

Altri, as well as your business, comprises permanently, legal, tax and regulatory advices, which works in conjunction with the business areas, ensuring preventively to protect the group's interests in strict compliance with the legal provisions applicable to the business areas of the Company.

This advice is also supported at national and international level by external service providers which are contracted from firms with established reputation and in accordance with highest standards of competence, rigor and professionalism.

However, Altri and its subsidiaries may be affected by legal changes both in Portugal and in the European Union or other countries where it develops its activities. Altri does not control, of course, such changes, if any, may have an adverse impact on the group's business and may therefore impair or prevent the achievement of strategic objectives.

The Group's attitude is of permanent cooperation with the authorities regarding the respect and observance of the law.

Forest risk

Altri, through its subsidiary Altri Florestal, has the management of a forest asset amounting to 84,000 hectares, of which 79% is eucalyptus. The forest is certified by FSC®2 (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), entities that establish the principles and criteria for which is evaluated the sustainability of the forest's management in economic, environmental and social terms.

In this context, all forestry activity is directed towards the optimization of available resources while preserving the environmental stability and ecological values present in its assets and ensuring its development.

The risks associated with any forestry activity are also present in Altri Florestal management. Forest fires, pests and diseases that can occur in forests spread through the country are the biggest risks threatening this sector. These threats, if they occur, depending on their intensity, affect the normal function of the forest's exploration and the production's efficiency.

In order to prevent and reduce the impact of forest fires, Altri Florestal participates, together with Portucel Soporcel group, in a company called AFOCELCA that has the goal of providing, coordinating and managing the resources available for fire-fighting. At the same time, large investments are made to clean forest areas in order to reduce the risk of spread of the fires as well as reduce losses.

Regarding pests and diseases, its arising can reduce significantly the growth of the forest productivity causing irreversible damages. For combating these problems integrated fight procedures were established by releasing specific parasitoids from Australia and through the use of phytopharmaceuticals products to control populations of harmful insects and reduce the negative effects of its presence. On the other hand, in the most affected areas, Altri Florestal is using genetic material more suitable for new plantations which, by its characteristics, allows more resistance to these pests and diseases.

54. Description of the procedure for identification, assessment, monitoring, control and risk management

As mentioned in the paragraph 52, the Board of Directors is the body responsible for setting the overall strategic guidelines of the group, and is duly supported by the subsidiary management teams, ensuring not only the continuous monitoring, and the reporting to the Board of Directors of Altri, of their situations detected, to ensure continuous and effective risk controls.

The process of identification and evaluation, monitoring, control and risk management in Altri works as follows:

The risks that the group faces in the normal course of its business are identified. For all identified risks, is measured the impact on financial performance and the value of the group. The risk value is compared with the costs of hedging instruments, if available and, consequently, the development of identified risks and the hedging instruments is monitored, which follows, more or less, in compliance with the following methodology:

  • First, internal and external risks that may materially affect the Groups' strategic objectives are identified and prioritized;
  • The operational management of the various business units identify risk factors and events that may affect the operations and activities of Altri, as well as any procedures and control mechanisms;
  • Additionally, the impact and the probability of occurrence of each risk factor are weighted and according to the exposure level, the need to respond to the risk is evaluated; and
  • The risk mitigation actions are monitored and the level of exposure to critical factors is constantly monitored.

The Company has implemented additional risk management strategies that aim to ensure, essentially, that the systems and control procedures and the established policies allow answering expectations of management bodies, shareholders and other stakeholders.

Some of these strategies are the following:

  • Systems and control procedures and policies are established in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations;
  • The financial and operational information is complete, reliable, safe and reported on a regular and timely manner;
  • Altri resources are used efficiently and rationally; and
  • The shareholder value is maximized and operational management takes the necessary measures to correct problems reported.

55. Core details on the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the company regarding the procedure for reporting financial information

In what refers to risk control in the process of disclosure of financial information, a form of control is the involvement of a very limited number of Altri employees in the process.

All involved in financial analysis are considered as having access to privileged information and is especially knowledgeable about the content of their obligations as well as the sanctions resulting from the misuse of such information.

The internal rules for the disclosure of financial information are intended to securing their timing and prevent the asymmetry of the market.

The system of internal control in areas of accounting and preparation and disclosure of financial information is based on the following key elements:

The use of accounting principles, detailed throughout the notes to financial statements, is one of the bases of the control system;

  • Plans, procedures and records of the Company and its subsidiaries provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded only properly authorized and that such transactions are recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
  • Financial information is analysed in a systematic and regular basis for the management of operational units, ensuring a permanent monitoring and control its budget;
  • During the process of preparing and reviewing financial information, is previously established a timetable for closure of accounts and shared with the different areas involved, and all documents are reviewed in depth;
  • At the level of individual financial statements of the various group companies, the accounting records and preparing financial statements are provided by administrative and accounting services. The financial statements are prepared by official chartered of accounts and reviewed by the financial management of each subsidiary;
  • The consolidated financial statements are prepared quarterly by the consolidation team. This process is an additional element of monitoring the reliability of financial reporting, particularly by ensuring the uniform application of accounting principles and procedures for cut-off of operations as well as check balances and transactions between group companies;
  • The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the supervision of the CFO. The annual report is sent for review and approval by the Board of Directors. After the approval, the documents are sent to the External Auditor, which issues the Statutory Audit and Auditor's Report; and
  • The process of preparing the financial information and consolidated directors' report is monitored by the Supervisory Board and by the Board of Directors. Each quarter, these corporate boards meet and analyse the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company.

As regards to risk factors that could materially affect the accounting and financial reporting, we should highlight the use of accounting estimates that are based on the best available information during the preparation of financial statements as well as the knowledge and experience of past or present events. We also stress the balances and transactions with related parties: Altri's Group balances and transactions with related parties relate essentially to the operational running of the group companies as well as to granting and obtaining loans at market rates.

The Board of Directors, together with the Supervisory Board, regularly review and monitor the preparation and disclosure of financial information in order to prevent access, improper and untimely, of other persons to relevant information.

Adopted 56 to 58

The recommendations II.1.7., II.1.10., IV.2. and V.2. are not fully adopted by Altri, as explained below.

Recommendations II.1.7. and II.1.10.:

The Board Directors does not include any member that satisfies the standard of independence referred in recommendation II.1.7. and II.1.10. of Corporate Governance Code issued by the Portuguese Securities Regulator (CMVM) since the non-executive director Pedro Mendonça is relative of holders of qualifying holdings, the nonexecutive director Laurentina Martins was employee of the subsidiary Caima – Indústria de Celulose, S.A. and the non-executive director Ana Rebelo de Carvalho Menéres de Mendonça, daughter of Pedro Macedo Pinto de Mendonça administrator, is the director and dominant shareholder of the Company Promendo SGPS, SA.

To allow to the non-executive directors an independent and informed decision, the Company has the following mechanisms:

  • Notices of meetings of the Board of Directors sent to all directors include the agenda, even tentatively, of the meeting, and are accompanied by all the relevant information and documentation;
  • Availability of executive directors for the provision to non-executive directors, of any additional information which they consider relevant or necessary, and to carry out further studies and analyzes in relation to all matters which are the subject of deliberation or that, are under review in some way, in the Company;
  • The non executive directors have wide powers to obtain information on any aspect of the Company, to examine its books, records, documents and other antecedents of the Company's operations. They can request relevant information directly to the directors and to the financial and operating senior staff of all group companies, without requiring any intervention of the executive directors in this process.

Given the corporate model adopted and the composition and mode of operation of its governing boards, including the independence of the supervisory boards, without, delegation of powers among them, the Group considers that the designation of independent directors to the Board would not yield significant improvements for the proper functioning of the corporate governance model, which has revealed itself proper and efficient.

The Director's report includes in its chapter "Activity developed by the non-executive members of the Board," a description of the activity of the non-executive director during 2014.

Recommendation IV.2.:

Altri hired the external auditor for services other than audit services representing more than 30% of the total value of services provided to the Company. However, the scope of these services was approved by the Supervisory Board, it was concluded that they did not put into question the independence of the auditors. In this particular aspect, the hiring of Deloitte proved to be the most appropriate due of its solid experience and expertise in the field of taxation and tax incentives.

Recommendation V.2.:

Transactions with Altri's directors or with companies that are in a group or dominance relationship with them, regardless of the amount, are subject to prior approval of the Board of Directors, with a favorable opinion of the Statutory Board, under the terms of article 397 of the Portuguese Companies Act.

Currently, there aren't established procedures or criteria for defining the relevant level of significance of businesses between the company and holders of qualified holdings or entities that are in a group or dominance relationship, from which the intervention from the Statutory Board is required.

However, given the above mentioned legal requirement, and especially considering the constant legal requirement of the same matter, disclosure in the annual report of the board, the occurrence of these situations, the Altri always give full compliance, the expression safeguarded not only all legal requirements, as well as all the information disclosure obligations to shareholders and to the full and transparent market.

3. Other information

In line with what has been said, Altri would like to point out that, of the forty recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code of 2013, six of them are not applicable for the reasons set out above, and the failure to fully adopt only four of the recommendations is largely explained above.

Altri therefore considers that, given the full compliance of thirty of these recommendations, the degree of adoption of the Company to the 2013 Corporate Governance Code's recommendations is nearly total, which is materialized in a diligent and prudent management, absolutely focused on creating value for the Company and hence for the shareholders.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Altri, SGPS, S.A. ("Altri" or "Company") is a public company incorporated as of 1 March 2005, as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A., has its head-office located at Rua General Norton de Matos, 68, r/c – Porto, Portugal and its shares are listed in the NYSE Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange. Its main activity is the management of investments.

Altri is the parent company of a group of companies listed in Note 4 known as Altri Group. The current activity of Altri Group focuses on the production of bleached paper pulp of eucalyptus through three mills (Celbi in Figueira da Foz, Caima in Constância do Ribatejo and Celtejo in Vila Velha de Ródão).

Due to this reality of Altri Group, the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus) and the management information is also analysed on this basis, for which the segmental information mentioned in Note 39 is limited by this.

The consolidated financial statements of Altri Group are presented in Euro rounded off to the unit, which is the currency used by the Group in its operations and considered as the functional currency. The operations of foreign companies whose functional currency isn't the Euro are included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the policy set out in Note 2.2.e).

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

2.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included on the consolidation, which were prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and under the historical cost convention, except for some financial instruments which are stated at fair value. These standards include International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards ("IAS") issued by International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), as adopted by the European Union. Standards and interpretations above mentioned will be generally presented as "IFRS".

Improvements to International
Financial Reporting Standards (cycles

These improvements involve the review of several standards.

These standards have not been endorsed by the European Union, and as such, were not adopted by the Group in the year ended as of 31 December 2014. No significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements as a result of the adoption of these standards.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group as of 31 December 2014 are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the IFRS, the Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported assets and liabilities, as well as the income and expenses in relation to the reported periods. All the estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors were made on the basis of its better existing knowledge, with reference to the date of approval of the financial statements, of the events and transactions in progress.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared for appreciation and approval by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Group's Board of Directors believes that they will be approved without changes.

2.2 CONSOLIDATION POLICIES

The consolidation policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

a) Investments in group companies

Investments in companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at the Shareholders' General Meeting and is able to control the financial and operating policies so as to benefit from its activities (definition of control normally used by the Group), are included in the consolidated financial statements by the full consolidation method. Equity and net profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately, under the caption "Non-controlling interests", in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated statement of profit and loss. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements by the full consolidation method are listed in Note 4.1.

The total integral income is attributed to the owners of the mother-company and to the non-controlling members even if by doing that, the company acquires a deficit balance at the level of non-controlling interests.

Under concentration processes, occurred after the transition date to International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (1 January 2004) the assets and liabilities of each subsidiary are measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition according to IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". Any excess on the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. Any excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets and liabilities acquired over its cost is recognised as income in the profit and loss statement of the period of acquisition, after reassessment of the estimated fair value. Non-controlling interests are presented according to their share in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit and loss from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, respectively.

Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are performed, whenever necessary, in order to adapt its accounting policies to those used by the Group. All intercompany transactions, balances and distributed dividends are eliminated during the consolidation process.

Whenever the Group has, in substance, control over other entities created for a specific purpose ("Special Purpose Entities" – SPE's), even if no share capital interest is directly held in those entities, these are consolidated by the full consolidation method. As of 31 December 2014 there wasn't any ofthese types of entities in the consolidated financial statement.

b) Investments in joint ventures

Investments in joint companies (companies where the Group has a jointly control over the financial and operating decisions - usually corresponding to holdings of 50% in a company's share capital) are accounted for in accordance with the equity method.

According to the equity method, the investments in joint companies are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is adjusted proportionally to the Group's corresponding share capital, as at the acquisition date or as at the date of the first adoption of the equity method. On a yearly basis, investments are adjusted in accordance with the Group's participation in the associated company's net income. Additionally, the dividends of this companies are recorded as a reduction in the investment's book value and the Group's proportion in the changes occurred in the associated company's equity are recorded as a change in the Group's equity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill, which is included in the caption "Investments in joint companies". If that difference is negative it

is recorded as a gain in the caption "Gains and losses in joint companies" after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.

A valuation of investments held in joint companies is performed whenever there are signs of impairment in those investments. Impairment losses are recorded in the statement of profit and loss for the period. When those losses recorded in previous periods vanish, they are reverted in the statement of profit and losses for the period.

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with joint companies are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the joint against the investment held. Unrealised losses are eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

Investments in joint companies are listed in Note 4.2.

c) Investments in associated companies

Investments in associated companies (companies where the Group has significant influence but has no control over the financial and operating decisions - usually corresponding to holdings between 20% and 50% in a company's share capital) are accounted for in accordance with the equity method.

According to the equity method, the investments in associated companies are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is adjusted proportionally to the Group's corresponding share capital, as at the acquisition date or as at the date of the first adoption of the equity method. On a yearly basis, investments are adjusted in accordance with the Group's participation in the associated company's net income. Additionally, the dividends of the subsidiary are recorded as a reduction in the investment's book value and the Group's proportion in the changes occurred in the associated company's equity are recorded as a change in the Group's equity.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill, which is included in the caption "Investments in associated companies". If that difference is negative it is recorded as a gain in the caption "Gains and losses in associated companies" after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.

A valuation of investments held in associated companies is performed whenever there are signs of impairment in those investments. Impairment losses are recorded in the statement of profit and loss for the period. When those losses recorded in previous periods vanish, they are reverted in the statement of profit and losses for the period.

When the Group's share of losses of the associated company exceeds the investment's book value, the investment is recorded at nil value, except to the extent of the Group's commitments to the associate. In such case, the Group records a provision to cover those commitments.

Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the associate against the investment held. Unrealised losses are eliminated but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

Investments in associated companies are listed in Note 4.2.

d) Goodwill

The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries 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 caption "Goodwill", and, when negative, after a re-appreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement. The differences between the price of investments in associated companies and in joint ventures and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the caption "Investments in associated companies", and, when negative, after a re-appreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement.

The excess of the cost of acquisition of investments in foreign companies over the fair value of their identifiable assets and liabilities as at the date of acquisition is calculated using the local currency of each of those companies. Translation to the Group's currency (Euro) is made using the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate

differences arising from this translation are recorded under the equity caption "Conversion reserves", included in the caption "Others reserves".

The Group will chose, on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, to measure non-controlling interests either at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, or at the fair value of the non-controlling interests themselves. Until 1 January 2010, non-controlling interests were always measured at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.

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

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

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

The Group tests on an annual basis the impairment of goodwill. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is computed based on the value of use. This computation implies the use of assumptions based on estimates of future events which may occur differently from expected.

e) Translation of financial statements of foreign companies

Assets and liabilities in the financial statements of foreign entities are converted to Euro using the exchange rates recorded at the balance sheet date. Profit and loss and cash flows are converted to Euro using the average exchange rate for the period. The exchange rate differences originated are recorded in the equity caption "Conversion reserves".

Goodwill and adjustments to the fair value arising from the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as assets and liabilities of those companies and converted to Euro at the balance sheet date exchange rate.

Whenever a foreign company is sold, the accumulated exchange rate differences are recorded in the statement of profit and losses as a gain or loss associated with the sale.

2.3 MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

a) Intangible assets

Intangible fixed assets are recorded at cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is likely that future economic benefits will flow to the Group, are controlled by the Group and if its cost can be reliably measured.

Development costs are recognised as an intangible asset if the Group has proven technical feasibility and ability to finish the development and to sell/use such assets and it is likely that those assets will generate future economic benefits. Development costs which do not fulfil these conditions are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Internal costs related with maintenance and development of software are recorded as expenses in the statement of profit and loss for the period in which they are incurred, except when these costs are directly attributable to projects for which the existence of future economic benefits is likely. Being this the case, they are capitalized as intangible assets.

Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis, as from the date the asset is first used, over its expected useful life (usually 3 to 5 years).

b) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets acquired until 1 January 2004 (IFRS transition date) are recorded at deemed cost, which corresponds to its acquisition cost, or its acquisition cost re-valued in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal until that date, net of accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Tangible assets acquired after that date are recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, as from the date the asset is first used, over the expected useful life for each group of assets.

The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives:

Years
Land and natural resources 20 to 50
Buildings and other constructions 10 to 50
Plant and machinery 2 to 15
Vehicles 2 to 10
Office equipment 2 to 10
Other tangible assets 3 to 10

Maintenance and repair costs related to tangible assets which do not increase the useful life or result in significant benefits or improvements in tangible fixed assets are recorded as expenses in the period they are incurred.

Tangible fixed assets in progress correspond to fixed assets still in construction and are stated at acquisition cost, net of impairment losses. These assets are depreciated from the date they are concluded or ready to be used under the conditions and for the use established by the management.

Gains or losses arising from the sale or disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the asset's net book value as at the date of its sale/disposal, and are recorded in the statement of profit and loss under the captions "Other income" or "Other expenses", respectively.

c) Investment Properties

Investment properties of the Group correspond to the properties (land or building or part of a building or both) that are not use in the Group's activities: in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

Initially, investment properties are recorded at acquisition cost (including transaction costs) and, subsequently, are recorded at acquisition or production cost, net of impairment losses.

d) Lease contracts

Classifying a lease as financial or as operational depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract.

Lease contracts are classified as (i) a financial lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership lie with the lessee and (ii) as an operating lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership do not lie with the lessee.

Tangible fixed assets acquired under financial lease contracts and the corresponding liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method. Under this method, the cost of the fixed assets and the corresponding liability are reflected in the balance sheet. In addition, interests included in the lease instalments and depreciation of the fixed assets, calculated as explained in Note 2.3.b), are recorded in the statement of profit and loss of the period to which they apply.

The operational lease instalments on assets acquired under long-term rental contracts are recognized in full as expenses in the period to which they refer to.

e) Subsidies from Government or other public entities

Subsidies for personnel training programmes or production support are recorded in the statement of profit and loss caption "Other income" when attributed, independently of when they are received.

Non-repayable subsidies obtained to finance investment in tangible fixed assets are recorded as "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities" corresponding to the instalments repayable in the long and short term, respectively. These subsidies are recognized in the statement of profit and loss in accordance with the depreciation of the related tangible fixed assets.

f) Impairment of assets, except for goodwill

Assets are assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit and loss under the caption "Provisions and impairment losses".

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's net selling price and its value of use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction less the costs of the disposal. The value of use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when the Group concludes that the impairment losses previously recognized for the asset no longer exist or has decreased. The reversal is recorded in the statement of profit and loss as "Other income". However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to a reversal of an impairment loss is recognized to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation and amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for that asset in prior years.

g) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as expense in the statement of profit and loss for the period in which they are incurred, in an accrual basis.

When the Company contracts loans to specifically finance capital assets, the corresponding interests are capitalized, being part of the cost of the asset. The capitalization of these interests starts after the beginning of the preparation of the activities of construction, and ceases when the asset is ready for use or in case the project is suspended.

h) Inventories

Raw, subsidiary and consumable materials are stated at acquisition average cost, deducted from quantity discounts granted by suppliers, which is lower than its market value.

Finished and intermediate goods, sub-products and work in progress are stated at production cost, which includes the cost of raw materials, direct labour and production overheads, which is lower than market value. Therefore, harvested wood owned by the Group is valued at production cost, which includes the costs incurred with the cutting, gathering and transport of harvested wood, as well as the accumulated cost of plantations, maintenance and administrative expenses in proportion to the harvested area.

When necessary the Group companies record impairment losses to reduce inventories to its net realisable or market value.

i) Biological assets

Part of Altri's activity consists in in the cultivation of several species of forestry, especially eucalyptus, which are basically used as raw material for pulp production. At the end of the year, the plantations owned by the Group are classified in the caption "Biological assets". The forest lands owned by the Group are valued in accordance with accounting policy described in Note 2.3 b) and are classified in the caption "Tangible assets" of the consolidated financial statements.

Because of the inexistence of an active market of this forestry species in Portugal and given the impossibility of obtaining a reliable estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by these biological assets, the Board of Directors opted to record biological assets at its historical cost, net impairment losses. This includes all the expenses incurred with plantation and with its development.

The cost of wood is transferred to production cost when the wood is harvested. The cost of wood harvested is determined based on the specific cost of each plantation attributed to each harvesting, which also includes the costs incurred on each plantation since the last harvesting.

Although it is not possible to estimate a reliable fair value of biological assets because of the reasons described above, the Board of Directors believes their fair value is higher than their book value. The Board has this understanding considering the fact that the forest management activity is concentrated in Altri Florestal S.A., which has been generating a recurring current balanced exploitation's activity. The industrial units of the Group purchase their raw material at similar prices to Altri Florestal as to third parties.

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has an obligation (legal or constructive) arising from a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of that obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the best estimate as of that date.

Restructuring provisions are recorded by the Group whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and has been communicated to the involved parties.

k) Pension complements

Some Group companies have assumed commitments to provide pension complements to employees retiring due to age or disability. To cover these liabilities there have been created autonomous pension funds, which annual charges, computed in accordance with actuarial analysis, are recorded in the statement of profit and loss in accordance with IAS 19 – "Employee benefits".

Any insufficiency of coverage by the autonomous pension funds that happened in order of rendered services is recorded as a liability in the financial statements of the Group.

When the financial situation of autonomous pension funds is superior to past services' responsibilities, Altri records an asset in its financial statements because this difference corresponds to less appropriations' necessities for pension funds in the future.

These liabilities were calculated under the "Projected unit credit method" under the actuarial and financial assumptions deemed to be the most adequate (Note 30).

From May 2014, the Group companies started to grant these pension supplements through defined contribution plans (except Celtejo, in which there are both situations). The Company's contribution is recognized as expense in the period.

l) Financial instruments

i) Investments

Investments held by the Group are divided into the following categories:

Investments held to maturity, are classified as non-current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The investments classified as held to maturity are non-derivative assets with defined or determinable payment dates, have defined maturity and the Group has the intention and ability to maintain them until the maturity date.

Investments measured at fair value through profit and loss are classified as current assets. The purpose of these investments is to obtain short term profits.

Investments available for sale are all the other investments that are not classified as held to maturity or measured at fair value through profit and loss, being classified as non-current assets.

Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs if related with held to maturity and available for sale investments.

Investments available for sale and investments measured at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently measured at fair value by reference to the market value at the balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred until its sale. Investments in equity instruments which are not listed on a stock exchange market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost net of impairment losses. Investments held to maturity are recorded at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of available for sale investments are recognised under the equity caption "Fair value reserve" included in caption "Other reserves", until the investment is sold or disposed, or until it is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to profit and loss account for the period.

All purchases and sales of investments are recorded on its trade date, independently of the liquidation date.

ii) Accounts receivable

Receivables from "customers" and "other debtors" are stated at nominal value less impairment losses so that those receivables reflect its net realisable value. The current accounts receivable do not include interests because discount's impact is not considered immaterial.

Impairment is recognised if there is objective and measurable evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred, the balance will not be fully received. Therefore, each group company takes into consideration market information which shows the client default in their responsibilities', as well as historic information on outstanding debts not received.

Recognized impairment losses equals to the difference between the nominal value of the receivable balance and the correspondent present value of future estimated discounted cash-flows at the initial effective interest rate; when the payment is expected to occur in a period less than a year, the rate is considered null.

iii) Loans and non-current payable accounts

Loans and non-current payable accounts are recorded in liabilities by amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the statement of profit and loss on an accrual basis. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up-front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.

Assets and liabilities are compensated and presented for its net amount as long as there is the right for compulsory fulfilment of compensation and the Board of Directors intends to realise them on a net basis or realise the asset and simultaneously settle the liability.

iv) Accounts payable

Non-interest bearing accounts payable are stated at nominal value, once the discount effect is immaterial.

v) Derivatives

Altri Group uses derivatives to hedge its financial risks, which are not used for trading purposes.

Derivatives classified as cash flow hedging instruments are used by the Group mainly to hedge interest rates, exchange rates and pulp prices. The index, the computation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments are similar to the ones established for the underlying loans and therefore are qualified as perfect hedging. The derivatives most used by the Group are the price indexations of pulp using future contracts.

The Group's criteria for classifying a derivative instrument as a cash flow hedging instrument are:

  • the hedged transaction is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the
  • hedged risk;
  • the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
  • there is adequate documentation of the hedging relationships at the inception of the hedge;
  • the forecasted transaction that is being hedged is highly probable.

The cash flow hedging instruments are recorded at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in assets or liabilities, against the corresponding entry under the equity caption "Hedging reserves", and transferred to the statement of profit and loss when the operation subjected to hedging affects the net profit.

The determination of the fair value of these financial instruments is made with informatic systems of derivatives valuation and had, on its basis the actualization, for the balance sheet date, of the future fix and variable leg cash flows of the derivative instrument.

Hedge accounting of derivatives is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded and deferred in equity under the caption "Hedging reserves" are transferred to profit and loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.

When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics are not closely related to the economic risks and characteristics of the host contract and when these are not stated at fair value with gains and losses not realizable are recorded in the profit and loss statement.

When derivatives, although specifically contracted to hedge financial risks, do not fulfil the requirements listed above to be classified and accounted as hedging instruments, the changes in fair value are directly recorded in the profit and loss statement, as financial results.

vi) Financial liabilities and Equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based upon their contractual substance. Equity instruments are those that represent a residual interest upon the Group's net assets and are recorded by the amount received, net of costs incurred with its issuance.

vii) Own shares

Own shares are recorded at acquisition cost as a deduction to equity captions. Gains or losses on its sale are recorded in the equity caption "Other reserves" not affecting the project and loss statement for the period.

viii) Discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies

Only when the assets´ cash flows contractual right has expired or when the risks and benefits inherent to those assets property are transferred to a third entity the Group derecognise the financial assets of its financial statements. If the Group retains substantially the risks and benefits inherent to the property of such assets, the Group continues to recognize them in its financial statements, by recording in the caption "Other loans" the monetary counterparty for the conceded assets.

In consequence, the customers balances formed by non-outstanding discounted bills and accounts receivable transferred to factoring companies as of the balance sheet date, with exception of the non-appealing factoring operations are recognized in the Group's financial statements until the moment of its collection.

ix) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks on demand and term deposits and other treasury applications which reach maturity within less than three months and may be mobilized without significant risk of change in value.

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, "Cash and cash equivalents" caption also includes bank overdrafts, which are included in the balance sheet caption "Bank loans".

x) Assets classified as held for sale or in discontinuation

The assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale or in discontinuation, when their realization is made not by its use but by its sale. The Group classifies assets and liabilities in this caption when exists a high probability of its sale to become effective and the assets and liabilities are available for immediate sale. The Board of Directors is committed in the sale of the assets and liabilities recorded in this caption, and it is their understanding that the sale will be completed in the next twelve months.

The assets classified as held for sale or in discontinuation are valued at the lower of its accounting value at the date of the sale decision and its fair value deducted of their selling costs.

m) Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are possible assets arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed, or not, by uncertain future events not controlled by the Company.

Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but only disclosed when the existence of future economic benefits is likely.

Contingent liabilities are defined by the Company as (i) possible obligations that arise from past events and which existence will be confirmed, or not, by one or more occurrences of uncertain future events not controlled by the

Company, or (ii) present obligations that arise from past events but that are not recorded because it is unlikely that an outflow of resources occurs to settle the obligation or the obligation amount cannot be reliably measured.

Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, being disclosed, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case no disclosure is made.

n) Income tax

Income tax for the period is determined based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation and takes into consideration deferred taxation.

Current income tax is determined based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation, in accordance with tax regulations in force at the location of the head office of each Group company, considering the annual estimated income tax rate.

For some of the companies included in the consolidation of Altri Group by the full consolidation method, the income tax is determined in accordance with article 69 of the Corporate Income Tax Code (Código do Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas), under the special regime of taxation of groups of companies.

Deferred taxes are computed using the balance sheet liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the correspondent amounts for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are computed using the tax rate that is expected to be in force at the time these temporary differences are reversed.

Deferred tax assets are only recorded when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits will arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each period the company reviews its recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets which are reduced whenever its realization ceases to be likely, or recorded if it is likely that taxable profits will be generated in the future to enable its recovery.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the statement of profit and loss, except if they relate to items directly recorded in equity. In these cases the corresponding deferred tax is recorded in the same equity captions.

o) Income recognition and accrual basis

Revenue arising from the sale of goods is recognized in the consolidated income statement when (i) the risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer, (ii) the company retains neither continued management involvement in a degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, (iii) the amount of the revenue can be measured reasonably, (iv) it is likely that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, and (v) the costs incurred or to be incurred related with the transaction can be reliably measured. Sales are recorded net of taxes, discounts and other expenses arising from the sale, and are measured at the fair value of the amount received or receivable.

Dividends are recognized as income in the period its distribution is approved.

All other income and expenses are recognized in the period to which they relate, independently of when the amounts are received or paid. Differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and expenses are recorded in the captions "Other current assets", "Other current liabilities", "Other non-current assets" and "Other non-current liabilities".

When the actual amount of income or expenses is yet unknown, these are recorded based on the best estimate of the Board of Directors of the Group companies.

p) Balances and transactions expressed in foreign currencies

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies were converted to Euro using the exchange rates recorded on the balance sheet date.

Favourable and unfavourable exchange differences arising from changes in the exchange rates between those prevailing on the dates of the transactions and those recorded on the dates of payment, collection or as of the balance sheet date are recorded in the consolidated statement of profit and loss, except the ones related to nonmonetary values which fair value variation be directly recorded in equity.

q) Subsequent events

Post balance sheet date events that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the balance sheet data ("adjusting events"), are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post balance sheet date events that provide information about conditions that have only arise after the balance sheet date are considered "non-adjusting events" and are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, if material.

r) Segment information

In each period, the Company identifies the most adequate segment division taking into consideration the business areas in which the Group is present.

At the moment, Altri Group has only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus) for which the internal report of segmental information is analysed under this assumption.

s) Judgments and estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS, the Group's Board of Directors has adopted certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported assets and liabilities and income and expenses incurred for the periods reported. All estimates and assumptions made by the Board were made based on the best knowledge existing at the date of approval of the financial statements, events and transactions in progress.

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated income statements include:

a)Useful lives of the tangible and intangible fixed assets;

  • b)Impairment analysis of goodwill and of other tangible and intangible fixed assets, as well as financial investments;
  • c)Recognition of impairment on assets, namely inventory and account receivables, and provisions;
  • d)Pension Fund responsibilities calculation;
  • e)Fair value of Derivative Financial Instruments; and
  • f) Provisions.

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

2.4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Altri´s Group is exposed essentially to the: (i) market risk; (ii) liquidity risk and (iii) credit risk. The main objective of the Board of Directors, regardingrisk management concerns, is to reduce these risks to a level considered acceptable for the development of the Group activities. The guiding lines of the risk management policy are defined by Altri´s Board of

Directors, which determines the acceptable risk limits. The operational concretization of the risk management policy is made by the Board of Directors and by the management of each participated company.

a) Market risk

At this level, a particular importance is given to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, variability of the commodities' price risk and forest management and production of eucalyptus risk.

When considered necessary, the Group uses derivatives to persue its market risk management, in order to mitigate risks to which it is exposed, as a way of ensure its hedging. The Group does not use derivatives for negotiation nor speculation purposes.

i) Interest rate risk

The exposure of the Group to interest rate results of the long term loans constituted, mainly, by debt indexed to Euribor.

The Group uses derivatives or similar transactions for hedging interest rate risks considered significant. Three principles are used in the selection and determination of the hedging instruments of interest rate:

  • For each derivative or hedging instrument used to protect the risk associated with a particular funding, there is coincidence between the dates of the flow of interests paid on loans to be hedged and the dates of liquidation under the hedging instruments;
  • Perfect equivalence between the base rates: the indexing used in derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that applicable to the financing or transaction that is being hedged; and
  • Since the beginning of the transaction, the maximum cost of debt resulting from the hedging transaction undertaken, is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in interest rate markets.

Since the entire Altri debt is indexed to floating rates, interest rate swaps are used when it is considered necessary as a mean of protection against changes in future cash flows associated with interest payments. The interest rate swaps agreements have the economic effect of converting the loans linked to variable rates to fixed rates. Under these contracts the Group agrees with other parties (banks) to exchange, in pre-determined periods of time, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed rate and variable rate contracted at that time, with reference to the respective amounts previously agreed.

The counterparts of the hedging instruments are restricted to high credit quality financial institutions, since the Group policy priority is to contractthese instruments with banks that are also part of its financing operations. For purposes of determining the counterpart of specific operations. Altri requests proposals and indicative quotes from a representative number of banks to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.

When determining the fair value of hedging transactions, the Group uses certain methods, such as valuation models of options and discounted future cash flows, as well as certain assumptions that are based on the interest rate market conditions prevailing at the date of the consolidated financial statement position. Quotes of comparative financial institutions, for specific instruments, are used as reference for valuation.

The Board of Directors approves the terms and conditions of the relevant funding of the Group, analysing the structure of such debt, the risks and the different options available in the market, particularly regarding the type of interest rate (fixed / variable).

The Group objective is to limit the cash-flows and results volatility according to its operational activity through an adequate combination of fix and variable rate debt. The Group policy allows the use of interest rate derivatives in order to obtain a reduction of the exposure to Euribor variations and not to speculative purposes.

Most derivatives used by the Group in interest rate management are defined as cash-flow hedging instruments as these configure perfect hedging relations. The index, the computation conventions, the interest rate hedging instruments are similar to the ones established for the underlying loans. Nevertheless, there are some derivatives which, although have been contracted with a hedging interest risk objective, do not fulfil the requirements above defined for the hedging instruments classification.

The sensitivity analysis of the results of Altri to the changes in interest rate is in the Note 21.

ii)Exchange rate risk

The Group is exposed to exchange rate risk in transactions related with the finished goods sales in international markets with different currency from Euro.

Whenever the Board of Directors considers necessary to reduce the volatility of their results to the variability of exchange rates the exposition is managed through forwards or other exchange rate derivatives.

As of 31 December 2014 and 2013 the balances denominated in USD are as follows:

31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Accounts receivable 13,340,951 14,196,014
Accounts payable 702,603 32,159
Bank deposits (Note 17) 5,644,642 26,600,326
Factoring (Note 21) 2,205,502 6,544,697
21,893,698 47,373,196

Additionally, as of 31 December 2014 and 2013 the balances in a currency different from Euro and USD are as follows:

31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Accounts payable 122,022 58,208
122,022 58,208

The Board of Directors considers that eventual changes in exchange rates do not have a significant effect in the consolidated financial statements.

iii) Commodities price risk

By developing its activity in a commodity transactional industry (paper pulp), the Group is particularly exposed to its price fluctuations, with the correspondent impacts in its results. However, in order to manage this risk, paper pulp price fluctuations hedging contracts were celebrated by the adequate amounts by the foreseen operations, reducing the volatility of its results.

The increase/decrease of 5% in the pulp price commercialized by the Group during 2014 would have implied an increase/decrease on operational results, approximately of 20.88 million euro, without considering the effects of the pulp's derivatives (Note 28) and keeping everything else constant.

iv) Forest management and eucalyptus production risks

Altri, through its subsidiary Altri Florestal, has the management of a forest asset of about 84,000 hectares which 79% are eucalyptus. The forest is certified by FSC ® (Forest Stewardship Council ®3) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) entities that establish the principles and criteria for which is evaluated the sustainability of the forest's management in economic, environmental and social terms.

In this context, all forestry activity is directed towards the optimization of available resources while preserving the environmental stability and ecological values present in its assets and ensuring its development.

The risks associated with any forestry activity are also present in Altri Florestal's management. Forest fires, pests and diseases that can occur in forests spread through the country are the biggest risks facing this sector. These threats, if they occur, depending on its intensity, affect the normal function of the forest's exploration and the production's efficiency.

In order to prevent and reduce the impact of forest fires, Altri Florestal participates, together with the Portucel Soporcel, in a company called AFOCELCA that has the goal of providing, coordinating and managing the resources available for fire-fighting. At the same time, large investments are made to clean forest areas in order to reduce the risk of spread of the fires as well as mitigate its losses.

The emergence of pests and diseases can significantly reduce the growth of the forest productivity causing irreversible damages. To address these problems it was established integrated fight procedures by releasing specific parasitoids from Australia as well as through the use of phytopharmaceuticals products to control populations of insects and reduce the negative effects of its presence. On the other hand, in the areas more affected, Altri Florestal is using genetic material more suitable for new plantations which, by its characteristics, allow more resistance against these pests and diseases.

The increase/decrease of 5% in the wood price during 2014 would have implied an increase/decrease on operational results, approximately of 10.7 million euro, keeping everything else constant.

b) Liquidity risk

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure, at all times, that the Group has the financial capacity to fulfil its commitments as they become due and to carry on its business activities and strategy through an adequate financing maturities management.

The Group pursues an active refinancing policy characterized by (i)maintaining high levels of free and immediate available resources to face short term necessities; and (ii) extending or sustainingthe debt maturity in accordance with the forecasted cash flows and leverage ability of the balance sheet.

The liquidity analysis' for financial instruments is disclosed next to the respective note to each financial liabilities class.

c) Credit risk

The Group is exposed to the credit risk in its current operational activity. This risk is monitored and controlled through a system that collects financial and qualitative information provided by recognized entities that supply credible risk information, which allows customers to evaluate the feasibility of the fulfilment of their obligations in order to reduce credit risk.

3 FSC-C004615

Credit risk evaluation is made on a regular basis, taking into consideration the current economic conjuncture conditions and the specific credit situation of each company, adopting corrective measures whenever necessary.

Credit risk credit is mitigated by the risk concentration management and by a careful selection of counterparties as well as by the credit insurance contracts celebrated with specialized institutions which cover a significant part of the credit granted as result of the activity developed by the Group.

The adjustments made to accounts receivable are calculated taking into consideration (i) the risk profile of the customer, (ii) the average collection period, and (iii) the customer's financial conditions.

The amounts included in the face of the consolidated statement of financial position are presented net of accumulated impairment losses, and therefore, at its fair value.

9. GOODWILL

During 2014 and 2013 there were no movements in goodwill, being its composition as follows:

Celbi 253,391,251
Others 12,140,153
265,531,404

Goodwill is not amortised. Impairment tests are made on an annual basis and whenever an event or a change in circumstances that reveals that the amount for which the asset is recorded could not be recoverable. Whenever the amount by which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the highest between the net sale price and the value of use. During 2014 and 2013, there were not recorded or reverted any impairment losses.

During 2014, in order to assess the existence or not of impairment on the main goodwill amount that resulted from Celulose Beira Industrial (Celbi), S.A.'s acquisition, in 2006, amounting to 253,391,251 Euro, the Group evaluated this subsidiary and concluded that there was no impairment. That valuation was based on Celbi's historical performance and an estimate of discounted cash flows based on a Celbi's 7-year business plan (since it is the Board's understanding that this is the most appropriate period given the cyclical nature of the operations of the Group) considering the long term price of paper pulp, not affected by the short term variations.

The main assumptions used in 2014 and 2013 in this calculation were:

2014 2013
0.50% 1.50%
7.90% 10.43%
2.00% 2.00%

The discount rate net of taxes (net of tax because the cash flow used in financial projections was also net of tax) used in 2014 was 7.9% (10.43% in 2013) and was calculated according to the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), considering the following assumptions:

2014 2013
Risk-free interest rate 4.99% 6.68%
Equity risk premium 5.00% 6.00%
Debt risk premium 2.78% 2.50%

The Group made a sensitivity analysis of this valuation to variations in key assumptions, having concluded that if it had been considered a discount rate of 8.9% together with a null perpetual growth rate, the conclusion of no impairment of the affiliate Celbi would remain valid.

Regarding the remaining goodwill amounting to 12,140,153 Euro, in order to analyse the existence or not of impairment losses as of 31 December 2014, the Group made a comparison of net cash flows generated annually by each company, as well as market multiples with their net contributions to the consolidated financial statements including goodwill and concluded that there was no impairment.

12. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

In accordance with current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a fouryear period (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, there have been granted tax benefits, or tax inspections or claims are in progress, in which cases the periods may be extended or suspended. Therefore, the tax returns of Altri and its subsidiary and associated companies for the years 2011 to 2014 are still subject to review.

The Board of Directors of Altri believes that any potential corrections resulting from reviews/inspections of these tax returns by the tax authorities will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2014 and 2013.

The movements occurred in deferred tax assets and liabilities in the years ended in 31 December 2014 and 2013 were as follow:

2014

27.541.201 15.283.810 31.165.814 17.896.214

According to the legislation, the Group uses a deferred tax rate of 22.5% that results of the sum of the rate approved for 2015 and subsequent years which amounts to 21% plus the municipal surtax whose rate is 1.5% for except for deferred tax assets that result from tax losses carried forward, where it is used a rate of 21%. Regarding the subsidiary Altri, SL based in Spain the rate used in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities was 25% since it is the tax rate approved to be in force in that country from January 1, 2015 (30% until 31 December 2014).

According to the legislation, for the year ending on December 31, 2014 the income tax rate was 23% (25% in 2013).

Additionally, according to the legislation during the year ending on December 31, 2014, state surtax correspond to the application of an additional tax of 3% on the portion of taxable income between 1.5 and 7.5 million Euro, of 5% on the portion of taxable income between 7.5 and 35 million Euro, and 7% on the portion of taxable income exceeding 35 million Euro.

On December 31, 2014 the Group evaluated the recognition of deferred taxes resulting from tax losses. In cases that originated deferred tax assets, these were only recorded to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will arise in the future and they may be used to recover tax losses or deductible tax differences. On December 31, 2014 the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses are from Altri SL and taking into account the perspectives of tax income for the following years is conviction of Altri's Board of Directors that they are recoverable in full.

31.12.2014 31.12.2013

Until 31 December 2012 Celbi received the amount of 51,644,921 Euro concerning to the repayable incentive.

AICEP agreed with the interruption of repayments, however there are some requirements which can only be evaluated in the measurement date. In 31 December 2013 all the requirements for the award of success fee amounting to 16,526,400 Euro were met, having Celbi classified this amount as "Other non-current liabilities" and "Other current liabilities" net of the amount recognized directly as income in the income statement (Note 34) in proportion of the part of the tangible assets subsidized already depreciated according to the accounting policy described in Note 2.3 e). On 31 December 2014 the amount outstanding of this subsidy is 8,632,454 Euro and is classified as non-current debt.

In January 2014 Celbi signed a new contract for granting financial and fiscal incentives under Decree Law. 203/2003, of 10 September, with the Agency for Investment and Foreign Trade of Portugal, EPE (AICEP), and the project of modernization and expansion of the plant, was considered by the Portuguese State of strategic interest and relevance to the national economy.

In the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Group sensitivity to the change of the interest rate index of more or less 1 basis point, measured as variation on net financial losses, not considering the hedging effects of the derivative financial instruments (Note 28), may be analysed as follows:

31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Interests (Note 36) 18,943,968 19,043,419
Decrease of 1 b.p. in the interest rate
applied to the entire debt
(7,857,000) (8,100,000)
Increase of 1 b.p. in the interest rate
applied to the entire debt
7,857,000 8,100,000

The sensitivity analysis above was calculated based on the exposure to the interest rate existing as of the date of the statement of financial position. This analysis considered as a basic assumption that the structure of financing (remunerated assets and liabilities) has remained stable throughout the year and similar to that presented at the end of each financial year.

The bank loans, other loans and reimbursable subsidies reimbursement plan as well as the associated interests are as follows:

During the year ended at 31 December 2013 the subsidiary Caima - Indústria da Celulose, S.A., proceeded to the payment of an additional settlement of Value Added Tax to tax authorities of Germany from previous years in the amount of 2,722,651 Euro which was recorded under the caption "Other non-current assets" because the company does not agree with the fundamentals of the settlement (Note 18). During the month of January of 2014 Caima proceeded to an additional payment of Value Added Tax of approximately of 700,000 Euro.

28. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On December 31, 2014 the companies of the Group operated with contracts for derivatives related to hedge interest rate variations. On December 31, 2013 the companies of the Group operated with contracts for derivatives related to hedge pulp price's variations, interest and exchange rates, which are recorded according to their fair value.

Altri Group's companies only use derivatives to hedge cash flows associated with operations created related with their activities.

(i) Interest rate derivatives

In order to reduce its exposure to interest rates volatility, the Group signed interest rates swap contracts. These contracts were evaluated by their fair value as of 31 December 2014 and 2013, and the correspondent amount has been recognized under the caption "Derivatives".

As of 31 December 2014 and 2013 there were established derivatives contracts which total amounts are as follows:

Fair Value Fair Value
Type Amount Maturity Rate 31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Interest rate sw ap (a) 25.000.000 08-02-2015 Pays a combination of several interest rates and receives Euribor 6M (655.029) (1.816.374)
Interest rate sw ap (b) 20.000.000 08-08-2014 Pays fixed interest rate and receives Euribor 6M - (614.399)
Interest rate sw ap (b) 80.000.000 09-02-2015 Pays fixed interest rate and receives Euribor 6M (1.247.268) (3.573.954)
(1.902.297) (6.004.727)

(a) Although these contracts were made with the purpose of risk hedging (and not speculation), these contracts do not fulfil every necessary requirements so they can be classified as hedging (Note 2.3l) v)), and therefore, the variation of their fair value was recorded in the profit and loss statement (Note 36).

(b) In accordance with the accounting policies adopted, these derivatives fulfil every requirement to be accounted as interest rate hedging instruments (Note 2.3I) v)).

The fair value of the Group's contracted derivatives is determined by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative valuation model, used by the counterparts is based on the discounted cash flows method, i.e., using the swaps par rates, listed in the interbank market and available at Reuters and Bloomberg, for the applicable periods where the forward rates and the discount factors used to discount the fixed cash flows (fix leg) and the variable cash-flows (variable leg) are computed. The sum of these two components results on the Net Present Value of the future cash flows or on the fair value of the derivatives.

At the beginning of 2015, in the date of their maturity, the derivatives were settled. The settlement value was very similar to the fair value at December 31, 2014.

(ii) Paper pulp price hedging derivatives

In order to reduce its exposure to volatility of paper pulp price volatility, the Group signed paper pulp price hedging derivatives, which were evaluated according to their fair value as of 31 December 2013; the correspondent amount was recognized under the caption "Derivatives". On December 31, 2014, these derivatives were already liquidated.

As of 31 December 2013 there were established the following paper pulp derivative contracts which total amounts are as follow:

Fair Value
Hedged Quantity Maturity 31.12.2013
1500 ton/month 31-08-2014 375.570
2000 ton/month 31-03-2014 (104.260)
2000 ton/month 30-09-2014 (379.562)
1000 ton/month 31-12-2014 402.324
1000 ton/month 31-12-2014 426.290
Positive fair value 1.204.184
Negative fair value (483.822)
720.362

The derivative fair value valuation of the paper pulp price hedging, contracted by the Group was performed by the respective counterparts (financial institutions with whom such contracts were signed). The derivative valuation model, used by these counterparts is based on the Discounted Cash Flows Method, i.e., it's calculated the difference between the

estimated paper pulp price (PIX) and the fixed price for the relevant periods, which is, afterwards, discounted to the valuation date.

In accordance with the adopted accounting policies, these paper pulp derivatives fulfil with the requirements to be classified as hedging instruments; so the variation on their fair value was recorded in the equity's caption "Hedging reserves".

(iii) Exchange rate derivatives

Altri uses exchange rate derivatives, mainly in order to hedge future cash flows. Thus Altri engaged some exchange rate forwards of U.S. dollars in order to manage the risk of exchange rate to which it is exposed.

On December 31, 2012, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives, calculated based on current market values of equivalent exchange rate financial instruments was 261,783 Euro, which ended during the year of 31 December 2013.

Determining the fair value of these financial instruments is based on the discount to the date of the statement of financial position of the amount that is estimated to be received / paid on the date of expiry of the contract. The settlement amount is considered in the assessment as being equal to the reference currency multiplied by the difference between the exchange rate settled and the market rate for the settlement date as of the date of valuation.

The movement occurred in the fair value of the financial instruments during the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 can be detailed as follows:

The gains and losses of the year associated to the fair value variation, during 2014, of the hedging instruments in the nonmatured part (as described in IAS 39), in the amount of 1,858,999 Euro (10,859,388 Euro as of 31 December 2013), were directly recorded under equity's captions net of the respective deferred tax, in the amount of (418,274) Euro ((2,877,738) Euro as of 31 December 2013) (Notes 12 and 19).

The gains and losses for the year associated to the fair value variation, during 2014, of the hedging instruments in the matured part and of the instruments which although had been contracted with a hedging purpose, do not fulfil the requirements to be classified as so, and their ineffective part were recorded directly in the profit and loss statement for the year ended 31 December 2014 (Note 36).

29. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND GUARANTEES

30. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

a) Pension Fund

Some of the Group companies have assumed commitments related with retirement pensions not included in the consolidated statement of financial position, since these commitments are covered by autonomous pension funds as follows.

The Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund, managed by "BPI Pensões - Sociedade Gestora de Fundos de Pensões, S.A." was created by a public deed held 31 December 1987, and aims to provide the employees who (i) at their normal retirement age or (ii) at the end of their contract with the company have completed at least 10 years of continuous service and 57 years old, with a monthly pension complement based on their average gross salary for the two years preceding the date of their retirement, beginning in the usual year of retirement. Following a decision of Caima's Board of Directors and after obtaining approval from "Instituto de Seguros de Portugal" (the Portuguese insurance institute), the Caima and Altri Florestal Pension Fund was divided into two independent funds in December 1998. During the year ended December 31, 2010, Caima and Altri Florestal transferred their shares of the collective fund that they had in BPI Pensões to Celtejo's plan. The transfer was requested to the Instituto de Seguros de Portugal, on September 23, 2010 and approved on March 3, 2011. In April 2011, the pension fund of Altri Florestal and Caima was incorporated in Celtejo's pension fund.

Under the set of laws of the Social Benefits Regulation, the employees of the permanent board of Celtejo with at least five years of continuous service, are entitled to a monthly pension complement after their retirement or if they become disabled. This complement is defined according with a formula that takes into consideration the net monthly salary applicable to the employee as of the retirement date and the number of years of continuous service, in a maximum of 30 years, also guarantying survival pensions to the employees' spouses and direct descendants. To cover those responsibilities there is an autonomous pension fund named Tejo Pension Fund.

In May 2014, the scheme associated to the Tejo Pension Fund has changed, passing from the defined benefit scheme to the defined contribution scheme. The Caima and Altri Florestal workers adherence to the defined contribution scheme was already achieved in 2014. The adherence of Celtejo employees is not yet complete on December 31, 2014, so at that date, both systems coexist.

Celbi grants to its workers, with non-defined term labour contract, who retire while working for Celbi, a set of benefits in accordance with the company's Rules for Pension Funds, published in the Republic Newspaper ("Diário da República") number 221-III series, dated 21 September 1999.

In accordance with those rules, Celbi grants the following benefits:

i) Retirement by age limit:

The participants that retire in the normal timing will be entitled to an annual pension, equal to 11.5% of the pensionable annual salary;

ii) Retirement due to disability:

Plan A – If the participant retires himself permanently due to disability by the normal regime of social security, or is accepted as so by the medical services of the company and the fund manager, the Fund secures the payment of a pension calculated in accordance with the following formulas:

Pension 1:

    1. With less than 10 years of service 50% of the annual pensionable salary;
    1. With 10 or more years of service 80% of the annual pensionable salary.
  • The amount of the annual pension is deducted to the annual pension computed as described above.

Pension 2:

The participants will be entitled to an amount equal to one fifth of the monthly salary earned at the retirement date by each year of service.

Pension 3:

If the disability happens when the participant is more than 55 years old, to the amount referred to in Pension 2 is added 50% of the annual pensionable salary.

Plan B - If the participant retires himself permanently due to disability by the normal regime of social security, or is accepted as so by the medical services of the company and the fund manager, the Fund secures the payment of an annual pension equal to 11.5% of the pensionable annual salary.

Only the participants working for the company when the present change took place can benefit from Plan A. In relation to these workers and in relation to plans A and B the most favourable will be applicable. To the other participants is applicable the Plan B.

This regime applies to all Celbi's workers and in May 2014, the scheme associated to the Celbi Pension Fund has changed, passing from the defined benefit scheme to the defined contribution scheme.

In accordance with the latest actuarial valuation prepared by the funds' managers, the present value of the past service liabilities with retired and current employees as of 31 December 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 as well as the funds' patrimonial situation were as follows:

This reorganization aimed a bigger focus and transparency on ALTRI's business, and giving each of the areas an opportunity to be better seen and better evaluated by the market. This allows for the Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus, so the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analysed on this basis.

43. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

Following the Kyoto Protocol, the European Union committed herself to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, it has issued a Directive that predicts the commercialisation of carbon dioxide emission licenses. This directive was transposed to the Portuguese legislation and became mandatory since 1 January 2005, namely, for the pulp and paper industry.

Following the ministerial dispatch number 38/2013 dated 15 March 2013, the Portuguese government distributed to the companies the carbon dioxide emission licenses. The Group companies received a free license for the emission of 93,332 tons of carbon dioxide in 2014. If the Group exceeds that amount it will have to buy in the market the remaining licenses. The distribution of the carbon dioxide emission licenses is made in the beginning of the following year, being the emission amounts presented subject to a certification made by an independent entity.

Bearing in mind that these licenses refer to the period 2013-2020, in accordance with the estimates for the year 2014, the Group does not expect this legislation to carry significant additional costs.

As of 31 December 2014 the Group has not recorded any liability concerning environmental issues, nor has disclosed any environmental contingency, since the Board of Directors believes that, as of that date, no obligations and responsibilities arising from past events have occurred that lead to significant costs to the Group.

44. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APPROVAL

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance in 20 March 2015. The final approval depends on the agreement of the General Shareholders Meeting.

45. EXPLANATION ADDED FOR TRANSLATION

These consolidated financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, some of which may not conform or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.
