To the Shareholders

Pursuant to the legal requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. (Public Company) hereby presents its Directors' Report for the first semester of 2011.

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 electric energy from forest renewable sources, namely industrial cogeneration, 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.

Currently, Altri owns three pulp mills in Portugal with a total capacity, in 2010, above 785,000 tons/year of bleached eucalyptus pulp. In a full speed stage, Altri's nominal production capacity will be about 900,000 tons/year.

Altri obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities, for the whole 84,000 ha of forest under their management in Portugal.

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.

The last years were highlighted by various acquisitions (Celtejo in 2005 and in 2006 Celbi) that allowed Altri to reinforce its position in its operating markets and by the development of a set of expansion activity projects.

Altri's structure as of 30 June 2011 is as follows:

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 in question.)

The world economy continued to expand during the first half of 2011, with economic growth showing yet some moderation, particularly in developed countries.

The crisis in the public debt market in Europe deepened, with renewed worries not only about the situation in Greece, with fears of Greek debt restructuring, but also in the public finance situation in other peripheral countries of the region.

The increasing difficulty from Portugal in obtaining funding in international markets led the Government to formalize, in April, a request for foreign aid from the IMF, the European Commission and European Central Bank (ECB). Still, the yields of domestic debt continued increasing substantially and, as it happened in other countries in the periphery, where new highs were also recorded, the spreads in yields facing Germany widened considerably.

The first half of 2011 was marked by the deterioration of the feeling of the participants in financial markets. In addition to the European public debt situation, other factors contributed to this effect, especially fears of economic slowdown worldwide. These based on a slowdown in the developed block, more evident in the second quarter, with the adoption of more restrictive monetary and fiscal policies.

The stock market, after reaching the highest values since September 2008, by February in Europe and April in the U.S.A., recorded a fall during the second quarter, reversing, in some European peripheral countries, the gains of the previous months. While the German DAX closed the half with a gain of +6.7% and the American stock market rose +5.0% (S&P500), the Portuguese PSI20 corrected -3.5%.

Altri's share price closed the first six months of 2011 at 1.46 Euros per share, representing a depreciation of 14% over the end of 2010. The market capitalization at the end of that period was 299.5 million Euros.

During the first half of 2011, Altri's share price reached the maximum of 1.732 Euros per share and the minimum of 1.352 Euros per share, with 43.6 million shares traded.

On February 9, 2011, Altri was notified of the favorable decision of the administrative appeal brought by it, concerning the change in nominal value of shares of 0.25 Euros to 0.125 Euros per share and the resulting change in the number of shares representing the capital stock to 205,131,672. On February 22, 2011, shares of Altri started to be traded on the NYSE Euronext Lisbon with the new nominal value. Such restatement has been operationally completed on February 25, 2011, by splitting each share into two.

The main events that marked the evolution of the shares of the Company during the first half of 2011 can be described chronologically as follows:

  • On March 9, the Group announced the financial performance of the year 2010 with a consolidated net profit around 62 million Euros. The consolidated total revenues exceeded 507 million Euros, representing an increase of 64% compared to 2009. Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 160.8 million Euros, registering a growth of over 200% compared to 2009. On that date shares' closing price reached 1.685 Euros per share;
  • Through a statement made on May 11, the Group announced the results of the first quarter of 2011. During that period, the consolidated total revenues reached about 125.7 million Euros, representing an increase of about 18% over the same period of 2010. The EBITDA exceeded 32 million Euros, which means a growth of around 4.5% over the first quarter of 2010;
  • In a statement made on May 27, Altri informed the market about the deliberations of the General Meeting held on May 26, 2011 which approved, among others, the proposed distribution of dividends corresponding to 0.02 Euros per share, to be paid from 21 June 2011.

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, date considered for the demerger process the business of steel and storage systems. This reorganization is part of a focusing and business transparency strategy, aiming at giving greater visibility to each area and increasing market perception of value.

The main participations were Altri holds the majority of capital are indirectly hold, and are as follows:

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

Moreover, in order to fulfill 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.

Altri's complete structure of participation as of 30 June 2011 is as follows:

Pulp market

Source: FOEX

The first half of 2011 was characterized by some unpredictability in the demand for pulp: in the end of the first quarter a price increase was announced, while at the end of second quarter/early third quarter price cuts were announced.

The average market price of BEKP during the first half of 2011 was 860 USD/ton, which resulted in 614 €/ton. In quarterly terms, the price recorded in the second quarter was 871 USD/ton (606 €/ton), while in the first quarter were 846 USD/ton and 623 €/ton, respectively. Thus, although the price in USD recorded an increase from the first to the second quarter, the price in EUR was affected by the devaluation of the dollar, falling approximately 3%.

The first quarter of 2011 was characterized by strong growth in demand for pulp, particularly eucalyptus pulp (BEKP) which grew 8% year-on-year, most notably the demand from China, with an increase of 46% over the same period of the previous year. It should be noted that this growth results mainly from low levels of consumption recorded in China in the first quarter of 2010. The second quarter, on the other hand, was characterized by some volatility in the demand especially, again, for the Asian market. The quarter began with a rise in the price (30 USD/ton) and ended with the announcement of a decline for the month of July 30 USD/ton in Europe and 50 USD/ton in Asia.

The ratio supply/demand of bleached pulp, according to data from PPPC, reached about 91% in the first half of 2011, with demand growing 5.3% - being this growth almost entirely driven by growing demand from China. In terms of eucalyptus pulp (BEKP), there was an increase of 2%, being Europe the main driver of this growth.

During the semester, the three Altri industrial units, Celbi, Caima and Celtejo, produced and sold 408.2 and 400.5 thousand tons of pulp, respectively.

Pulp sales by region and detail by application

In terms of using the pulp, the tissue paper producers are major customers of Altri, with a 39% share (40% in Dec. 2010).

In the first six months of 2011, Altri exported about 192 million Euros of pulp, which corresponds to a growth of around 3.2% over the same period last year. Altri strengthened its position as one of the largest Portuguese exporters with international sales accounting for approximately 91% of its sales, being Europe the main destination region.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The consolidated financial information of Altri on the first half of 2011 and comparative information for 2010 have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 - Interim Financial Reporting

During the period ended 30 June 2011 Altri Group began negotiations for the sale of the subsidiary Socasca – Recolha e Comércio de Recicláveis, S.A in the short term, a process that the Board of Directors of Altri estimates to be completed during the year ended 31 December 2011, which explains the fact that the assets and liabilities of this subsidiary were classified as a discontinued operation.

Therefore, the key data and indicators of the consolidated operations of the Altri Group are detailed as follows:

In the first half of 2011, total revenues excluding interest income, amounted to around 250.7 million Euros, representing an increase of about 4% over the first half of 2010.

Net revenues of electric power, liquor and bark amounted, during the first half of 2011, to 16.8 million Euros. During the first half of 2010 it amounted to 12.5 million Euros.

Operational costs (excluding amortizations) reached 187.7 million Euros, rising 16% compared with the first half of 2010.

Cost increases result from the rising wood cost, mainly from the wood imports. It is expected that these costs will slightly decrease during the rest of the year.

EBITDA reached 63 million Euros in the first half of 2011, representing a 20% decrease compared with EBITDA obtained in the first half of 2010. EBITDA margin in the first half of 2011 was 25.1%.

EBIT reached 36.7 million Euros, representing a 30% decrease relatively to first half of 2010 EBIT.

Net income after minority interest reached 17.8 million Euros.

Total investment (CAPEX) during the first six months of 2011 was 8.5 million Euros.

Altri's nominal remunerated net debt net of cash and investments available for sale as of 30 June 2011 was 713.7 million Euros. During the second quarter, the Group increased its outflows due mainly to the payment of dividends (4 million Euros) and taxes (7 million Euros) and the change in working capital (10 million Euros). In terms of working capital, it should be highlighted that inventories increased more than 18 million Euros from first to second quarter of 2011 driven largely by the strategic stock of wood, although it is certain that it shall reduce by the end of the year.

The average cost of net debt amounts to 4.5%.

During the second quarter of 2011, total revenues reached 125 million Euros, representing a slight decrease of 0.6% compared with the first quarter of 2011. During this period, Altri produced 219.1 thousand tons of pulp (+16% comparing with the first quarter of 2011) and sold 202 thousand tons (+2% comparing with the first quarter of 2011). The fact that production exceeded sales relates to two factors: (a) the need to restore pulp inventories at sustainable levels, ensuring a good level of quality service, and (b) the reduction in demand from overseas markets, particularly, in Asia.

Net revenues of electric power, liquor and bark amounted, during the second quarter of 2011, to 9.1 million Euros. During the first quarter of 2011 it amounted to 7.7 million Euros.

Operational costs (excluding amortizations) reached 94.3 million Euros, rising 1% compared with the first quarter of 2011.

SECOND SEMESTER 2011 OUTLOOK

The outlook for European and American markets show a modest slowdown in demand which, however, should stay in solid levels, considering the lack of stocks in the paper industry. A possible slowdown in demand will be due to some "downtime" of paper mills, resulting from the breakdown of the volume of orders by seasonal issues and the current economic climate.

In terms of the Asian market, taking into account the slowdown in demand in the second quarter of 2011, which resulted in a reduction of stocks, especially in China, it shall be expected an upturn in demand until the end of the year and, consequently, prices.

ALTRI, S.G.P.S., S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2011

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 21)

(Amounts expressed in Euro)

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 NYSE 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. occurred in 2005, 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 current 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 believe that there is only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus) and the management 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.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS FOR PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2011 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 condensed 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 2010, being the accounting policies relating to joint ventures, as well as for investment property, as follows:

(i) Joint ventures

Investments in joint ventures (Altri has joint control of a company when it has shared participation in the financial and operating decisions of that company - usually investments representing 50% of the company's share capital) are recorded under the equity method.

Under the equity method, financial investments in joint ventures are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is increased or decreased by the amount corresponding to the proportion of the equity of these companies, reported at the date of acquisition or at the first application of the equity method. Investments are then adjusted annually, recording as profits or losses the amount corresponding to the net profits of the jointly controlled companies. Dividends from these companies are recorded as a reduction of investment value, and the proportional changes in equity is recorded as a variation of the equity of the Group.

ALTRI, S.G.P.S., S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2011

(Translation of notes originally issued in Portuguese – Note 21)

(Amounts expressed in Euro)

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

An evaluation of investments held in joint ventures 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.

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

(ii) Investment property

Investment property represents Altri's property which is not related to the activity of Altri Group, not intended for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, or for sale in the ordinary course of business.

Investment property is initially measured at cost (which includes transaction costs) and, subsequently, maintained at cost of acquisition or production, deducted from any accumulated impairment losses.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CORRECTION OF MISTAKES

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

Additionally, considering the specific nature of each item, some reclassifications and redenominations were made at the consolidated financial statement as at 31 December 2010, which, although not distorting in a material way such consolidated financial statements, contribute to a better understanding of them, as follows:

  • (i) The caption "Investments in associated companies" was renamed to "Investments in associated companies and joint ventures";
  • (ii) The caption "Consolidation differences" was renamed to "Goodwill";
  • (iii) Other reclassifications:

16. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

On 16 April 2008, the Board of Administration of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. approved a simple reorganization project of this society. 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.

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