In the third quarter 2010 total revenues, excluding the financial income, reached approximately 134.5 million euro, representing an increase of more than 66% over the third quarter of 2009. Compared to the first quarter of 2010, there was a decrease of 0.8%.

During 3Q 2010, the three Altri industrial units produced and sold approximately 211 and 197 thousand tonnes of bleached eucalyptus pulp respectively. In the third quarter production was approximately 6% higher than production in the previous quarter, but the tons sold in the third quarter were lower than for the second quarter (-3%). This was due to the need to place stocks at minimum levels to ensure a normal flow of business.

Sales of electric power produced through cogeneration and other forest derivatives (liquor and bark) amounted during the third quarter of 2010 to 16.5 million euro. During the same period of 2009 this figure was 16.5 million euro, while in the second quarter of 2010 had been 16.1 million euro.

Total expenses excluding amortization, financial expenses and taxes, reached 85.5 million euro in the 3Q 2010. This represents a decrease of 2.1% over the second quarter of 2010. This decrease is due to the stabilization of the production process, resulting in either reduction of variable and fixed costs.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE

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

Altri was incorporated as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. through the demerger of the investment previously held by this group in Celulose do Caima, SGPS, S.A. (representing 97.23% of this company's share capital), under a simple demerger operation predicted in item 1.a), article 118 of the Commercial Companies Code ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais").

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

Due to this new reality of Altri Group, the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp of eucalyptus) and management's information is also analyzed on this basis, for which the segmental information mentioned in Note 16 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2010 were prepared using accounting policies consistent with the International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and includes the statement of financial position, the statement of profit and loss, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows as well as the selected explanatory notes.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Altri are consistent with those used in the year ended 31 December 2009.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CORRECTION OF MISTAKES

During the period there were no changes in accounting policies and were identified no material mistakes related to previous periods.

Additionally, during this period has taken place the adoption – for the first time – of the revised versions of IFRS 3 – Business combinations and IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008 revision). These modifications involve changes on the recording of new business combinations, namely:

  • a) on the calculation of goodwill and non-controlling interests (formerly designated as minority interests): an option is given, on a transaction by transaction basis, allowing the non-controlling interests value to be determined in accordance with the proportion of the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, or in accordance with its fair value. Additionally, goodwill is now the difference between the investment's acquisition price plus the value of the non-controlling interests less the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities;
  • b) on the contingent payments' recognition and subsequent valuation: under the current version of IFRS 3, the future contingent payments are recorded as liabilities, at their fair value, when the business combination takes place. Any changes to the value initially computed are recorded through goodwill only if these changes occur within the remensuration period (12 months after the acquisition date) and if they relate to events previous to the acquisition date; otherwise, these changes shall be recorded through profit and loss;

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 20)

(Amounts expressed in Euro)

  • c) on the treatment of direct costs related to the business combination: these are now generally recorded directly on profit and loss, and cease to affect the acquisition price of the investment;
  • d) on the recording of acquisitions of interests in entities already controlled and sales of interests that imply no loss of control: until the adoption of the revised version of IAS 27, an increase on the control percentage over any subsidiary would imply the recording of goodwill, and a decrease on the control percentage over a subsidiary would imply the recognition of profit or loss in the moment of the sale. With the adoption of the revised version, the transactions that originate no gain or loss of control are treated as transactions between shareholders and affect only equity captions, having no impact on goodwill nor on profit and loss;
  • e) the calculation of the result of a participation disposal that implies loss of control and remensuration of the interests held on the disposed participation: under the revised version of the standard, the loss of control implies the derecognition of the assets and liabilities of that entity and any interest held over that entity shall be remeasured at fair value. The amount received for the disposal, plus the remeasuring effect mentioned above, will affect the net profit or loss of the period.

The adoption of these standards, however, had no impact on Altri's consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2010.

15. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

On 16 April 2008 the F. Ramada – Aços e Indústrias, S.A. demerger public deed was signed. Under the terms of the project, the planned reorganization implies the split of Altri's two business units that manage equity holdings in the pulp and paper sector and in the steel and storage systems sector. 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.

Furthermore, in the end of 2008 ALTRI decided to shut down its Kraft paper industry unit. This decision was based on the declining Kraft paper business perspectives and on the poor contribute that this unit was giving to Group Altri's EBITDA. Therefore, the contribute of the units mentioned above was recorded as "Operational units in discontinuation" in the profit and loss statement (Notes 4.4 and 5).

This decision allows Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp of eucalyptus, thus the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment and management's information is also reported and analyzed on this basis.

16. RELATED PARTIES

The participated companies of the Group perform transactions between them that are classified as transactions with related parties. Those transactions are made at market prices.

In the consolidation procedures the transactions between the companies included in consolidation by the full consolidation method are eliminated, once the consolidated financial statements present the owner and its subsidiaries information as one single company so they are not disclosed in this note.

There were no loans or transactions with Altri Directors during the periods ended 30 September 2010 and 2009.
