To the Shareholders

Pursuant to the legal requirements, the Board of Directors of Cofina, S.G.P.S., S.A. (Open capital company) hereby presents its Directors' Report for the first semester of 2011.

INTRODUCTION

Cofina Group develops its activity in the Media sector and contents.

The key Group company in this sector is Cofina Media, S.G.P.S., S.A., which owns headings of reference in the respective segments. In the Group´s publishing portfolio the daily newspaper "Correio da Manhã", the daily sports newspaper "Record", the economic information newspaper "Jornal de Negócios", the free newspapers "Destak" and "Metro", the information magazine "Sábado" as well as other titles, such as "Máxima", "TV Guia", "Flash!", "Vogue", "GQ", "Rotas e Destinos" and "Automotor" should be highlighted.

Therefore, as of 30 June 2011, the structure of the Cofina Media´s Group was as follows:

The first semester of 2011 was influenced by a recessive macroeconomic context, with reductions of the available income and negative outlooks about future performance, which was materialized in significant decreases of the advertising investment, which were more intensely felt in the non-daily press segments.

Operating income of the Group suffered a decrease as a result of the contraction of private consumption, with the magazines segment being the most affected by this adverse economic environment. Even so, Cofina was able to maintain and, in some cases, reinforce its leadership at its main media segments.

The first semester of 2011 was influenced by a recessive macroeconomic context that was strongly felt in a private consumption contraction. Therefore, the advertising investment has recorded significant decreases, with the advertisers postponing and reducing their investment decisions. This trend was aggravated in the second quarter of 2011.

Total operating income reached 62.2 million Euro in the first semester of 2011, a decrease of 7% comparing with the homologous period. This decrease was motivated by the reduction in advertising income (-8,4%) and in alternative marketing products (-31%).

Circulation income recorded a slight increase of 0,8% in relation to the first semester of 2010, reaching over 31.8 million Euro.

EBITDA recorded in this period amounts to approximately 9.1 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of 8.9% year on year. EBITDA margin reached 14.6%.

Consolidated net income recorded in this semester amounted to 4.4 million Euro, comparing to -10.9 million Euro last year.

Net income is influenced by changes in the market value of the shareholder participation in ZON Multimedia that, by the end of June, represented a stake of approximately 1.3%. Therefore, investments measured at fair value, namely the above mentioned stake, are recorded at their market value, in accordance with its quotation as of 30 June 2011. Total impact of the stake in ZON Multimedia in the profit and loss statement of the first semester of 2011 amounted to approximately 2.4 million Euro.

As of 30 June 2011, nominal net debt of Cofina was approximately 85.4 million Euro.

During the first semester of 2011, consolidated income of the newspapers segment reached 47,2 million Euro, a decrease of approximately 5,7% when compared to the homologous period of 2010. Advertising income decreased over 7%, while revenue related to alternative marketing products decreased about 27%.

Circulation income increased 1,4%, reaching approximately 23,8 million Euro. In this segment we should highlight the performance of the daily newspaper "Correio da Manhã", which had average daily sales of about 125 thousand copies (data provided by APCT, January to Abril 2011), being uncontested leader in the segment of generic daily newspapers in Portugal, with a market share over 45%.

Therefore, EBITDA in this segment amounted to approximately 10 million Euro, a decrease of approximately 3% comparing with the homologous period of 2010. EBITDA margin reached 21,3%, an increase of 0,7 basis points comparing with the homologous period of 2010.

As a result of this transaction, Cofina no longer holds any participation in the share capital of that entity.

COFINA, S.G.P.S., S.A. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF 30 JUNE 2011

(Translation of a report originally issued in Portuguese – Note 19)

(Amounts expressed in Euro)

1. INTRODUCTION

Cofina, SGPS, S.A. ("Cofina" or "Company"), an open capital company, with headquarters located at Rua General Norton de Matos, 68, r/c in Porto and has its shares listed in the NYSE Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange. Cofina is the Parent company of a group of companies detailed in Note 4, commonly designated as Cofina Group, and its main activity is the management of investments in the Media sector (written press).

The Group owns headings of reference in the respective segments, publishing titles like newspapers "Correio da Manhã", "Record", "Jornal de Negócios", "Destak" and "Metro", as well as the magazines "Sábado", "Automotor", "TV Guia", "Flash!", "Rotas e Destinos", "Máxima" and "GQ", among others.

During the semester ended as of 30 June 2011, the Group developed its activity mainly in Portugal, having also some interests in Brazil through the investment in Destak Brasil and in the subsidiary Adcom Media (Note 4).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the going concern assumption, although the consolidated total equity as of 30 June 2011 is less than half of its share capital. This is due solely to the Group's exposure to ZON Multimédia - Serviços de Telecomunicações e Multimedia, SGPS, SA ("Zon Multimedia") through the holding of 3,998,000 shares (15,190,000 as of December, 31 2010) recorded at their market value (Note 7).

Cofina´s consolidated financial statements are expressed in Euro (rounded to the nearest unit). This is the currency used by the Group in its operations and as so, considered the functional currency. The operations of the foreign group companies whose functional currency is not the Euro are translated to Euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses and cash flows are converted to Euro using the average exchange rate for the period. The exchange rate differences originated are recorded in equity captions.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Annual financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union. The financial statements as of 30 June 2011 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.
