MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

Leading in a time of uncertainty and turbulence, the multiple obstacles in our path have only served to redouble our dedication and focus on design strategy.

Despite the global economic uncertainty,there were several goals we managed to achieve during the year :

We are increasingly more focused strategically on core activities – Construction and Solar.

We altered the geography mix that contributes to total revenues. We reduced the weight of Iberia and increased the weight of emerging markets, such as Brazil, and at the same time, we continue to reinforce the weight of mature markets in Central Europe;

In the metallic construction area, we were awarded with significant projects, demonstrating the Group's competitive advantage on the global market, and simultaneously affording us the opportunity to deepen our experience, providing us with the know how to consistently provide quality and innovative solutions. From the awarded projects, we highlight the following: Scotland's National Arena (Glasgow, Scotland), Birmingham New Street (England), King Abdullah Financial District (Saudi Arabia), BBVA headquarters (Spain), Lille Stadium (France) and finally in Brasil, the projects of the stadiums: Castelão (Fortaleza), Fonte Nova (Salvador) and Grêmio (Porto Alegre).

In the solar energy area, which has already more than 200 MW installed worldwide, we highlight some of the most important projects in 2011, such as the first project in India (25 MWp), the construction in Portugal of 22 MWp for the BNP Paribas Infrastructure Fund, the installation of 5 MWp in Normandy in an old World War II military field, and finally the creation and launching of MPrime Brand, the specialized distributor in Martifer Solar. Currently, Martifer Solar is present in Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia and UK), North and Latin America (USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Chile), Africa (Cape Verde, Mozambique and South Africa) and Asia (India, United Arab Emirates and Singapore), and its order book totals 250 million euros.

The Group's non-core asset selling plan is still being implemented, and as planned for 2011, the sale of some farms (54 MW) in operation and ready-to-build, in Poland, totaling 87.3 million Euros was concluded.

It is The Martifer Group's objective to have a debt level between 230 million euro and 250 million euro by the end of 2013. Considering the present debt level (330 M€), it is our goal to pursue further debt reduction of 80 million euro up to 100 million euro in the next two years (2012 and 2013) by the sale of non-core assets, mainly wind farms, solar projects and, residually, from the sale of real estate projects. The Group's target is to achieve the Net/Debt ratio of 4x.

From the operating performance point of view, with the implementation of the New Step Program, it is expected to achieve better levels of competitiveness in the industrial units and increase the shareholders returns.

In Summary, 2011 was the year of the turnaround concerning the internal organization of the group, with the focus on the implementation of the program for the improvement of industrial competitiveness. We are conscious we will face obstacles, but Martifer is today more solid and concentrated on the coming challenges.

Today we have more accumulated experience, we are stronger internationally and the value of innovation is present in our spirit and actions. We believe in the future. Come conquer it with us!

Dear Stakeholder, thank you for your trust!

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Economic growth…

The global economic growth prospects dimmed along the year 2011 at the same time that risks sharply escalated, during the fourth quarter 2011, as the situation of the euro zone economy entered in a new phase, reflecting the intense sovereign debt crisis, and affecting in particular most peripheral countries (see below the time-line of events).

Although Greece, Ireland and Portugal (who negotiated a financial support program with the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank) were the most severely hit, Spain and Italy were also penalized at certain times due to imbalances in their public accounts.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) WEO report Update of January, the world output should grow by 3.8% YoY (versus 5.2% in FY10) in 2011, with Euro area growing by 1.6% YoY (versus 1.9% in FY10) and the US by 1.8% YoY (versus 3.0% in FY10). The Emerging and Developing Economies should grow by 6.3% YoY in 2011, thus slowing more than forecasted, possibly due to a great-than-expected effects of macroeconomic policy tightening or weaker underlying growth.

Concerning the future, several economic data sources agree that global recovery is threatened by intensifying strains in Europe.

The Global output is projected to expand by 3.25% in 2012, according to the IMF. Growth in Emerging and developing economies is also expected to slow; During 2012/13, growth is expected to average 5.75%, which shows a significant showdown from the 6.75% growth registered during 2010-11.

Struggling with the high levels of indebtedness in some member countries and with the inherent political uncertainty, the euro zone economy is now expected to enter into a mild recession during 2012. This recession is the combined result of the rise in sovereign yields, the process of bank deleveraging on the real economy and the impact of additional fiscal consolidation announced by the euro area governments.

The most important challenge is to restore confidence and put a final end to the crisis in the euro area by supporting growth, while sustaining adjustment, containing deleveraging, and providing more liquidity and monetary accommodation. These measures are likely to require greater convergence of economic policies as embodied by the recent European Treaty (known as the "Golden Rule Treaty").

…and Inflation levels

The consumer prices in advanced economies should be at 2.7% in 2011, comparing with 1.6% in 2010 and Emerging and Developing Economies should present in 2011 an IPC of 7.2%, according the IMF data. Nevertheless, the global consumer price inflation is projected to ease as demand softens and commodity prices stabilize or recede. It is projected to fall to roughly 1.5% in the course of 2012. The emerging and developing economies pressures are also expected to drop, as both growth and food price inflations slow.

Greece's GDP level has been isolated since 2010, and Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy continue to have strong correlation. The level of convergence of these economies in what concerns the level of unemployment is yet far from happening, if compared, for instance, with the unemployment rate in Germany.

Downside Risks

Throughout 2011 some of the downside risks have risen sharply.

Firstly, the most immediate risk is the intensification of the adverse feedback loops between sovereign and bank funding pressures in the euro area, resulting in much larger and more protracted bank deleveraging and sizable contractions in credit and output.

Secondly, bank asset quality can further deteriorate owing to higher losses on sovereign debt holding and on loans to private sector.

Thus, in the scenario that the economic crisis intensifies, the risks of financial contagion to the rest of the world are more intense.

Furthermore, another downside risk arises from insufficient progress in developing medium-term fiscal consolidation plans in the US and Japan. In the short term, this risk might be mitigated by the turbulence in the euro zone. However, as long as public debt levels are expected to rise over the medium term, the absence of well-defined and credible fiscal consolidation strategies increase the possibility of turmoil in global bond and currency markets.

The risks related to a possible hard landing in key emerging economies, especially in this context of uncertainty, are not to be ignored. Moreover, in recent years, a number of major economies experienced buoyant credit and asset price growth as well as raising other financial vulnerabilities.

Last but not least, the geopolitical risks associated with oil supply increased again.

Monetary and Fiscal Policy

While fiscal consolidation proceeds in the advanced economies, monetary policy should continue to support growth, as long as inflation expectations remain stable and under control and unemployment stays high. If even downside risks to growth materialize, further monetary stimulus might become necessary. In the euro zone, it is critical to break the adverse feedback loops between subpar growth, deteriorating fiscal positions, and weakening bank balance sheets, which may lead to a prolonged period of asset and consumer price deflation.

In order to address these problems, strong action is required on several fronts:

  • Additional and timely monetary easing by the ECB, consistent with mandate to ensure the level of prices in a stable path;
  • The ECB should continue to provide liquidity and stay fully engaged in securities purchases to help maintain confidence in euro;
  • Sufficient funding must be also available through the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)
  • The bank deleveraging must be carried out with all the attention and supervisors must do whatever possible to avoid excessively fast deleveraging that could lead to a devastating credit crunch.

Commodities

CRUDE PRICES TREND

Source: Reuters

Commodity prices generally declined in 2011, in response to weaker global demand. However, oil prices have held up in recent months, largely because of supply developments. Adding to this, the geopolitical risks concerning oil prices have risen again. The IMF's baseline petroleum price projection for 2012 is broadly unchanged at \$99 a barrel.

Financial Markets and Confidence

The equity financial markets behavior during 2011 was negative in most of the stock indexes, namely Bovesta and MSCI – Emerging Market which dropped by 18.10% and 20.5%, respectively. The exceptions were the Dow Jones Industrial and Nasdaq in the US, that outperform by 5.5% and 2.7% YoY.

STOCK MARKETS INDEXES IN 2011

Source: Reuters

In the economy, the austerity programs introduced by governments to ensure compliance with the corresponding Adjustment Programs have ultimately generated greater pessimism about short/medium-term economic growth, not only in countries directly involved but also at a global level.

The European financial sector was one of the most penalized by investors' greater aversion risk. This is firstly because it was greatly exposed to euro zone's pheripheral countries sovereign debt , notably Greece, to which European leaders agreed on a significant "haircut" that involved an agreement with private investors. Furthermore, new regulatory requirements for the financial sector were approved with the aim of strengthening investors' confidence and this implies greater core capital requirements.

To restore confidence in the viability of the euro zone will require deeper financial and fiscal integration overtime as well as further commitment on the implementation of structural reforms to help resolve internal imbalances.

The strength of Germany's economy and benefit it takes from the existence of the Euro is, of course, a factor that must be taken into account for the outcome of the present crisis. Ongoing market tensions has, to date, affected German banks less than peers in other euro area countries, as German banks benefit from the deep domestic savings market and investor confidence in the German sovereign risk which has driven the financing costs of the country's financial system to a record low. This is the result of investor's perception that German Bunds are a safeguard against debt market turmoil.

According to the Zew Survey indicator, the level of confidence of analyst and investors has strongly improved, has the values for the next six months have advanced significantly in February 2012, entering into positive territory for the first time since May 2011, i.e., from -21.6 to 5.4 points.

Trade indicators

BALTIC EXCHANGE's MAIN SEA FREIGHT INDEX

The world trade volume revealed an enormous cut, as can also be seen in the Baltic Exchange's main sea freight index, which measures the cost of shipping dry commodities. This indicator, which is regarded as a lead indicator of global trade activity, has shed more than 50% in just one month and is plumbing to a 3yr low.

TIMELINE OF THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN 2011

Euro zone leaders agree that the capacity of the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) should be raised to its full nominal value of 440 billion euros from the current 250 billion. The increase is to be achieved by euro zone countries increasing their guarantees for the EFSF's borrowing.

Prime Minister Jose Socrates resigns and warns of grave consequences for the country after parliament rejects his government's latest austerity measures aimed at avoiding a bailout.

European leaders agree a new package of anti-crisis measures at a two-day summit, but are forced to delay increasing their rescue fund and acknowledge they face new threats from the government collapse in Portugal.

Portuguese bank stocks rally after the caretaker government decides to seek European financial aid but it is unclear how quickly a deal can be negotiated in the midst of an election campaign. Lisbon will have to agree to tough austerity targets to obtain the euro zone's third bailout after Greece and Ireland.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou appoints Evangelos Venizelos as new finance minister in a reshuffle to muster support for harsh economic reforms that have stoked violent unrest and split his ruling party. The reforms are a condition for Greece receiving an international bailout to save it from a debt default that could unleash global economic turmoil. JUN

The 17 euro zone ministers agree that the fifth tranche of the 110-billion-euro bailout agreed with Greece in May 2010 will be paid by July 15, as long as the IMF's board signs off on the disbursement. The IMF is expected to meet on July 8 to approve it. JUL

Italy's parliament gives definitive approval to a 48 billion euro austerity package aimed at averting a full scale financial crisis. With a crushing debt burden equal to 120 percent of gross domestic product and chronically weak growth, which has held back efforts to cut back the debt, Italy faces a long, grinding battle to return to economic health.

Euro zone leaders agree on a second rescue package for Greece that risks triggering a temporary default. An emergency summit of leaders of the 17-nation currency area pledges to conduct a second bailout of Greece with an extra 109 billion euros (\$157 billion) of government money, plus a contribution by private sector bondholders estimated to total as much as 50 billion euros by mid-2014.

The euro sheds early gains against the dollar and fell versus other currencies as initial relief over European Central Bank purchases of Spanish and Italian government bonds fizzle out in the face of a further selloff of risky assets.

European financial stocks open weaker despite the introduction of a ban on short-selling by four countries, highlighting concerns about the ability of such measures to restore market confidence. France, Italy, Spain and Belgium impose the ban, which comes into effect on Aug. 12, but will vary in detail depending on the country, the European Securities and Markets Authority (EMSA) says.

The leaders of France and Germany told Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou that it was vital to implement reforms and meet fiscal goals set under a July 21 bailout plan. Patience is wearing thin among core euro zone countries with Greece's failure to meet fiscal and structural reform targets

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner "encouraged" European leaders to "act decisively," and to speak with one voice" in order to solve Europe's debt crisis, the Treasury Department says. At a meeting with euro zone finance ministers in Poland, Geithner did not "advocate or oppose any specific policy prescriptions".

Standard and Poor's cuts its unsolicited ratings on Italy by one notch, warning of a deteriorating growth outlook and damaging political uncertainty, in a move that takes markets by surprise and adds to pressure on the debtstressed euro zone. S&P's downgrades its unsolicited ratings on Italy to A/A-1 from A+/A-1+ and keeps its outlook on negative, sending the euro more than half a cent lower against the dollar.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou says his country needs to implement a new series of painful austerity measures or face bankruptcy. Greek workers stage a 24-hour strike in protest against the government's intensified austerity drive. Greece had agreed on Sept. 21 to bring forward belt-tightening reforms as part of a deal to continue receiving funding from its international lenders.

Europe again averted disaster in its debt crisis as German lawmakers rally behind Chancellor Angela Merkel to approve a stronger euro zone bailout fund. The Bundestag (lower house) overwhelmingly approved new powers for the 440 billion-euro EFSF fund to make precautionary loans, help recapitalize banks and buy distressed countries' bonds in the secondary market. The measure was part of a July 21 agreement by euro zone leaders meant to solve the crisis by providing a second bailout for debt-stricken Greece. OCT

Police fires tear gas at stone-throwing youths in Athens, where thousands of striking state sector workers marched against cuts the government says are needed to save the nation from bankruptcy. Greece's announcement this week that it would not meet its 2011 deficit target has put in doubt the viability of a 109 billion euro bailout agreed in July. If that deal must be renegotiated, European banks that hold Greek debt could suffer a heavy blow. EU officials are scrambling to protect banks from a repeat of the crisis that froze the world financial system in 2008.

Slovakia finally ratifies new powers for the euro zone's rescue fund, the last country to do so. Parliament approved the plan to bolster the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) after voting to hold early general election as demanded by the opposition after a week of haggling.

Greece approves a painful set of austerity measures, defying violent protests in central Athens and a general strike which shut down much of the country. The mix of deep pay and pension cuts, tax hikes and changes to collective bargaining agreements has been bitterly opposed and at least 70,000 people join protests in Athens' Syntagma Square in front of parliament.

European Union leaders make some progress towards a strategy to fight the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis, nearing agreement on bank recapitalization and on how to leverage their rescue fund to try to stop bond market contagion. But final decisions are deferred until a second summit on Oct. 26 and sharp differences remain over the size of losses private holders of Greek government bonds will have to accept.

Euro zone leaders strike a deal with private banks and insurers for them to accept a 50 percent loss on their Greek government bonds under a plan to lower Greece's debt burden. The agreement was reached after more than eight hours of hard-nosed negotiations involving bankers, heads of state, central bankers and the IMF. Euro zone leaders also agreed to scale up the EFSF from the current 440 billion euro bailout fund to around 1 trillion euros. European banks will also be recapitalized.

Former European Central Bank vice-president Lucas Papademos takes office to save Greece from bankruptcy, heading a coalition cabinet filled with many of the same politicians who led the nation into crisis and pushed the euro zone to the brink of collapse. It has to push Greece's second bailout deal through parliament -- a plan that includes fighting tax evasion, selling off state companies and cutting the public sector -- to get hold of 130 billion euros (\$179 billion) in long term funds.

Mario Monti is sworn in as Italy's prime minister. Hebrings credentials from a decade as a European commissioner, a credit that his technocrat government will need as it faces a financial crisis threatening to spin out of control.

A "disastrous" sale of German benchmark bonds sparks fears the debt crisis is beginning to threaten Germany, with the Bundesbank forced to hold on to record amounts to ensure the auction did not fail. In one of the least successful debt sales, the low returns offered -- just 2 percent annually over 10 years -- deterred investors made uneasy by the escalating cost of the crisis to Germany. That meant the central bank had to pick up 39 percent of the 6 billion euros of debt Germany had hoped to sell after commercial banks bought just 3.644 billion euros of the issue.

Italy's borrowing costs hit a euro lifetime high of nearly 8 percent. Italy had to offer a record 7.89 percent yield to sell 3-year bonds - a stunning leap from the 4.93 percent it paid in late October- and 7.56 percent for 10-year bonds, compared with 6.06 percent at that time. The yields were above the levels at which Greece, Ireland and Portugal applied for international bailouts, but European stocks and bonds rallied in apparent relief at the strong demand, with the maximum 7.5 billion euros sold.

Central banks around the world announce steps to prevent a credit crunch among banks in Europe which are struggling with the region's debt crisis, boosting global share prices and the euro. The U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the central banks of Canada, Britain, Japan and Switzerland say they have agreed to lower the cost of existing dollar swap lines among other measures.

Both Italy and Ireland present austerity budgets. Prime Minister Mario Monti presents a 30 billion euro package of austerity measures to parliament designed to shore up Italy's strained public finances. The package, dubbed a "Save Italy" decree by Monti, aims to raise more than 10 billion euros from a new property tax, impose a new tax on luxury items like yachts, raise value added tax, crack down on tax evasion and bring forward measures to increase the pension age.

Standard & Poor's has warned it may carry out an unprecedented mass downgrade of euro zone countries, including Germany and France, if EU leaders fail to deliver a convincing agreement on how to solve the region's debt crisis in the Dec. 9 summit. President Nicolas Sarkozy and Chancellor Angela Merkel say their plan, to be discussed at the summit, includes automatic penalties for states that fail to keep deficits under control, and an early launch of a permanent bailout fund for euro states in distress. They want treaty change to be agreed in March and ratified after France wraps up presidential and legislative elections in June.

Europe secures an historic agreement to draft a new treaty for deeper economic integration in the euro zone on Dec. 9, but Britain, the region's third largest economy, refuses to join the other 26 countries in a fiscal union and is left isolated. The outcome of a two-day European Union summit leaves financial markets uncertain whether and when more decisive action would be taken to stem a debt crisis that began in Greece in 2009, spreading to Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain.

In middle December 2011, Euro zone ministers agreed to boost IMF resources by 150 billion euros to ward off the debt crisis and win support for more money from EU allies, but it was unclear if the bloc would reach its 200 billion euro target after Britain bowed out. Fitch concludes on Dec. 16 that a 'comprehensive solution' to the crisis was technically and politically beyond reach. Fitch warns that six euro zone economies, including Italy and Spain, could be hit with credit downgrades in the near future.

REVENUES

In 2011, Operating Revenues decreased by 7% YoY to 550.1 million euro. The outstanding growth performance of Martifer Solar revenues was not sufficient to compensate the reduction of revenues in the Metallic Construction business area.

On the back of the lower activity in the wind segment, the reduced activity in Iberia and Eastern Europe and the abrupt hold ups in some projects in backlog, the Metallic Construction business area presented a decrease in the period of 31 % YoY, in Revenues. Stronger markets such as the UK, France and Brazil should gradually compensate for the weak performance in the Iberian market. Brazil is living a good momentum with the coming up of important events such as the next World Cup and the Olympic Games.

The Solar business ended 2011 with a strong revenue growth, approximately 32.8 % YoY, to 293.2 million euro. This impressive growth was achieved as a result of the strategy implemented during 2010, by which Martifer Solar successfully diversified its activity to several geographies throughout 2011, taking advantage of the current buoyancy of the photovoltaic sector. By the end of 2011 Martifer Solar was already present in more than 20 countries; compared with 2010 which had only the contribution of 12 countries.

This way the increase of the international exposure of the Group in 2011 was remarkable, reducing its business risk in Iberia and, at the same time, preparing to take advantage of the future growth expected in other developing economies as well as in some mature European markets. The contribution of Iberia Peninsula for the total value of revenues is only 23.9%. The remaining value is dispersed by more than 20 countries (the most important can be seen below).

REVENUES BREAKDOWN– IBERIA vs. INTERNATIONAL

EBITDA AND NET PROFIT

In 2011, consolidated EBITDA registered 8.9 M€, with a margin of 1.6 %, mostly due to the weak operational performance in Metallic Constructions impacted by lower activity, consequence of the poor sector environment and by the restructuring plan under implementation, and due to the lower margin in the solar projects, as well as the internationalization efforts and the entrance costs associated.

In particular, this weak operational performance in Metallic Constructions is explained by the negative margins in 2011 in Eastern Europe and Australia and by the impact of the integration of the wind cluster in Portugal, which presented a reduced level of activity with the consequent inability to dilute fixed costs.

In the Solar segment, the EBITDA margin is lower than the previous year mainly due to the tougher competitive environment and to the internationalization effort and the associated costs of entry, despite the signs of improvement in the last quarter. This positive trend is expected to continue until the end of the year.

The Amortizations & Depreciations dropped by 22.2%, from 24.5 million euro to 19.6 million euro, which is mostly explained by the sale of fixed assets in the RE developer.

The consolidated Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) reached a negative 20.8 million euro, which compares with negative 21.7 million euro in 2010, and which reflects the accounted provision for the impairment loss with the sale of 50% in the JV company, Martifer – Hirscheld Energy Systems in the US.

Net Financial Expenses totaled 26.4 million euro (more 30.4% than in 2010), including a 4.9 M€ net capital gain, mostly from the sale of the shareholdings in Home Energy, REpower Portugal, Arestalfer and in the polish wind farms Leki Dukielskie and Bukowsko.

Net foreign exchange result was negative in 2011, reaching a 2.3 M€ loss, consequence of the Zloty and Angolan Kwanza against the Euro depreciation, which it is exactly the same reported value in 2010.

Net interest expense was 19.3 million euro in the period, slightly above the 16.6 million euro, achieved in the year 2010.

The net contribution from the application of the Equity Method to the subsidiaries Prio Energy and Prio Foods (accounted at 49%) was negative in 1.6 M€. The new companies that started the consolidation by the equity method contributed with negative 1.1 million euro.

The Net Profit attributable to shareholders in 2011 amounted to -49.6 million euro.

CAPEX

The amount of investment in fixed assets and goodwill reached 61.3 million euro, mostly applied as follows: (i) construction of RE Developer's wind farms in Romania (19.7 million euro), which the Group expects to dispose of in the medium term; (ii) development of solar projects in the USA and France by Martifer Solar (27.9 million euro), (iii) construction of Metallic Construction's new facility in Brazil and varied maintenance capex (13.7 million euro).

The capital expenditure of Metallic Constructions in 2011 results from a strategic long term decision of entering a new market, Brazil. The investments made by Solar and RE Developer are short term investments, necessary to complete renewable energy projects under development or already under construction that the Group expects to sell by 2013, in line with its net debt reduction plan.

The Group's Consolidated Net Debt on the 31st December 2011 totaled 330.3 million euro, decreasing 71 million euro from the net debt of 401.3 million euro registered in the first semester of 2011 (this reduction is mostly due to the divestment in the wind farms in Poland, Leki Dukielskie and Bukowsko), and remain stable when compared with the end of the year 2010, when registered 321.3 million euro.

It is Martifer Group's objective to have a debt level between 230 million euro and 250 million euro by the end of 2013. Considering the present debt level (330 M€), it is our goal to pursue further debt reduction of 80 million euro up to 100 million euro in the next two years (2012 and 2013) by the sale of non-core assets, mainly wind farms, solar projects and, residually, from the sale of real estate projects.

METALLIC CONSTRUCTIONS

SECTOR TRENDS

Metallic construction sector performance worsened QoQ in 2011; In general, the international peers led to deterioration in order margins, resulting from the fiercer competitive environment as the greatest risk factor.

The intensified sovereign debt crisis throughout 2011prompted most of the European Community to revise their GDP estimates, and due to the dramatic tightening of budgetary policies and downturn in confidence some of the projects have been delayed or even frozen.

Civil Engineering and non-residential construction are particularly vulnerable to the budgetary austerity plans put in place by the countries most exposed to the debt crisis. The Euroconstruct to pointed a 0.6% drop in the total construction output in Europe.

Only Emerging markets have been driving economic growth and there has been significant demand for metallic structure, mostly in Asia and South America.

Steel prices rose during 2011, the European Steel price index is up by 16.8% YoY. The wide-flange and the hot-rolled steel plate prices were up by 6.6% YoY. The declining prices make steel more competitive versus other building materials

ACTIVITY

The order book which amounts 290 million euros in the end of 2011 accumulates projects in 12 different countries. From the last awarded projects, the most significant are the three football stadiums in Brazil, that amount to 109.6 BRL million. We would like to highlight that the 18.6% weight of the Brazilian order book already exceeds Iberia, which only represents 17.3% of the total works in backlog.

ORDER BOOK BREAKDOWN IN 2011

RESULTS

Metallic Construction Revenues reached 240.2 million euro in 2011. On a YoY comparison, there was a decrease justified by lower activity and unfavorable sector environment, particularly in Iberia and Eastern Europe, not yet compensated by the new strategic geographies.

We call to mind that the Group had taken the decision to increase its position outside Iberia, strengthening its presence in mature markets with a higher consumption of steel and aluminium constructions, such as the UK and France. At the same time, the company is increasing its presence in emerging countries such as Brazil, where it is starting activities this year, with an industrial plant already under construction in Pindamonhangaba, São Paulo region. This facility will have a production capacity of 12,000 tons/year of metallic structures.

The EBITDA in 2011 amounted to a negative 20.1 million euro, corresponding to a -8.4 % margin. Besides the previously mentioned unfavorable sector environment, three main factors are contributory to this negative performance: (i) negative margins in Eastern Europe and Australia; (ii) the integration of the wind cluster into metallic constructions and (iii) the abrupt hold ups in some of the backlog projects, which occasioned a reduction in the level of activity and productivity with the consequent inability to dilute fixed costs.

As a consequence of the sector trends previously mentioned, namely the reductions in margins and the lower demand for projects, Metallic Constructions is implementing the New Step Programe, announced on the FY 2010 results presentation, to enhance its operational efficiency and reduce the capital employed. Nevertheless, the results of this restructuring programe will only be evident in 2012.

Net Financial Expenses amounted to 12.8 million euro, which compares to 11.0 million euro in 2011, mostly justified by the depreciation in Angolan Kwanza relative to the euro (1.2 M€) and increase in shareholder loans in the period, due to the negative results of this business area.

Net Profit totaled -43.0 million euro, of which 0.6 million euro attributable to non-controlling interests from Martifer Angola.

Net Financial Debt in Metallic Constructions on the 31st of December 2011 reached 107 million euro, less 6.0 million euro than in the FY 2010 (on a comparable basis). Added to this is more 46.0 million euro of debt from the Holding. Of the total Net Debt, 28 million euro is allocated to projects in the Retail area, not considered core business.

Total capex was 13.7 million euro, showing an increase when compared to the same period in 2010, which is explained by investment in the new plant located in São Paulo, Brazil.

SOLAR

SECTOR TRENDS

2011 turned out to be another boom year for the PV installations. According to EPIA (European Photovoltaic Industry Association) the volume of new grid-connected PV capacities world-wide grew from 16.6GW in 2010 to 27.7 GW in 2011, i.e, +67% YoY. Approximately 21 GW (75%) of this growth came from Europe.

In 2011 the top 3 markets were Italy, Germany and China. Most notably; Germany installed 3GW in December alone, 7.5 GW in the whole year; The US, France and Japan follow, each with over 1 GW of new capacity.

The 48% average decline in module prices had a strong effect on demand.

According the NEF (New Energy Finance) 2012 should see a sharp growth in new market and crashes in the major old ones; It is likely to be a bad year for manufacturers but should be a very exciting one for project developers, engineering contractors, financiers and service companies; The 1st Half 2012 should be better than 1st Half 2011 due to sharp feed-in-tariff reduction in Germany, Italy and UK. 2nd Half will be more flat.

US, China and Japan will be the principal drivers for 2012 overall demand.

It should be possible to observe strong demand from markets in the Middle East, Africa, South America, and southeast Asia/India;

In the coming years, the pronounced decline in Europe should be mitigated by the stronger growth of other markets.

The nuclear crisis in Japan, last year, has contributed to the resurgence of the debate on the world's future energy mix and security of energy supply and with the evolution of PV systems' costs; it is increasingly an alternative to conventional electricity sources

TREND – PV SOLAR INSTALLATIONS

ACTIVITY

The backlog of turnkey contracts (signed) is 192 million euro, with Portugal, US, France and Belgium as the geographies with the most significant contributions.

RESULTS

Solar Revenues grew by 32.8% YoY in 2011, totaling 293.2 million euro, as a consequence of the intense growth strategy implemented, based on the increased level of internationalization.

The geographies with higher contribution in terms of Revenue in the period were France, Italy, USA, Portugal and Belgium. In Portugal, the weight of the Distribution business increased significantly, already representing in 2011, a contribution to the consolidated Revenues of 46.0 million euro.

The company's strategic position is to concentrate on mature countries which have a favorable regulatory framework, and emerging countries with good solar potential for the execution of on-grid and off-grid solutions. However, it is important to note that margins in the solar segment have been reduced along the value chain due to significant reductions in government support and to an increase in competition.

The Solar business area presented an EBITDA of 20.1 million euro, with the EBITDA margin reaching 6.8%, representing less 3.2 percentage points, comparing 2010, and that is due to three main issues: i) tougher competitive environment; ii) internationalization effort and its associated costs of entry; iii) increased weight of the distribution business with lower margins.

Net Financial Expenses recorded 3.1 million euro in 2011, which remained stable when compared with 2010, and justified by Martifer Solar's robust capital structure and tight working capital control.

Net Profit totaled 9.5 million euro that compared with 10.4 million euro last year.

The level of capex in 2011 totaled 27.9 million euro. This value is explained by the investment in project development, mostly in the USA and France, expected to be sold until 2013.

Net Financial Debt on the 31st December 2011 stood at 46.1 million euro, an increase of 16.3 million euro from FY 2010. This variation is explained by capex and financial investments made in the period.

OTHER AREAS

RESULTS

The results of the 'Others' segment groups the activity of 'RE Developer', the Holding and Shared Services.

From the total amount of Revenues, RE Developer contributed in 2011 with 14.5 million euro.

Total EBITDA of RE Developer reached 7.0 million euro in 2011, representing an EBITDA margin of 48.0%.

Net Profit at the end of 2011 was 13.3 million euro negative, suffering from the impact of net financial expenses that amounted to 10.9 million euro.

Total net capex of RE developer in the period reached 19.7 million euro, mostly in the construction of the wind farm in Romania (Babadag), that is planned to be sold in 2012.

Net Financial Debt of RE Developer amounted to 27 million euro, a reduction of 3 million euros versus the net debt at the final year 2010. To this debt we should add 83.8 million euro of debt at the Holding level allocated to the business area, a lower amount when compared to the FY 2010. The reduction in the financial debt was possible due to the sale of the wind farms in Poland.

INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

05 | INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Net Profit of Martifer, SGPS, SA, the holding company of the Group, was negative amounting to 21,227,710 euro, comparing with a negative Net Profit of 70,836,538 euro in the previous year. This result has the impact of 18 million euros impairment loss registered for the participation in Martifer Renewables, SGPS, SA. The reinforcement of the impairment loss at this financial asset is essentially due to the negative results recorded by that company mostly influenced by the net financial expenses, the impairment losses in some of the affiliate companies and the accounting of provisions for risks and expenses.

Moreover, were recorded impairment losses of 2 million euros for the participation and loans granted to the subsidiary company Eviva Hidro, s.r.l. due to the uncertainties about the recoverability of this amount, 1.6 million euro for the Martifer Inovação e Gestão participation, as well as, 0.8 million euro loss of the net value to be received from Martifer Renewables Electricity LLC, sold in the first semester 2011.

The Financial Results, including gains and losses in financial assets, amount to 1.6 million euros in 2011, comparing with 6 million euros in 2010. The loss registered in 2010 was due to the sale of the 11% participation held in Prio Energy, SGPS, SA and Nutre, SGPS and SA (previously Prio Foods, SGPS, SA) in the second semester 2010.

SHARE PERFORMANCE

06 | SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE

Source: Reuters

Martifer's share price performance at the end of 2011 was negative 26.3%, which compares with the PSI-20, major Euronext Lisbon market index which decreased 22.4 % in 2011.

Martifer's share price ended 2011 at 1.09 €/share; the highest price achieved was 1.60 €/share and the lowest price was 0.95 €/share. The average volume of stock traded during the period was 34,838 shares.

The increase of negative news during 2011, with the sovereign crisis intensified the growing concerns about the situation in Greece and the contagion to other European countries. The fear of the euro zone's sustainability grew day after day, and led to chaotic performance of the European markets and in the general emerging markets - Dax (-14.1 %); IBEX (-13.1 %); CAC (-17.0 %); FTSE (5.6 %); Euro Stoxx 50 (17.1 %); MSCI – Mercados emergentes (-20.4 %) and Bovesta (-18.1 %)

During the year, the positive spotlight was on Dow Jones Industrial (+5.5 %) and the Nasdaq (+2.7 %).

Martifer stock was penalized by this occurrence and by the poor performance of the Construction and Solar sectors.

Overall, Martifer share price performance was totally driven by the negative conjecture, and the end 2011, Martifer's market capitalization totaled 106 million euro.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

07 | 2011 AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

2011 results were mainly affected by the weak operational performance in Metallic Constructions caused by:

  • Depressed Iberia
  • One-off effects in Australia
  • Negative results in Eastern Europe
  • Impact of the integration of the wind cluster
  • In Metallic Constructions Impairment loss accounted with the sale of the partnership in the US (Martifer Hirschfeld Energy Systems)

In order to solve the problems, along 2011, implemented a rigorous plan with a set of measures of internal reorganization in the Metallic Construction area and putting in place the New Step Program:

  • Carlos Martins reassumed operation control as CEO of the business area
  • Focus on complex projects with a strong engineering component and higher margins
  • Balanced expansion: successful entry in Brazil, UK and France
  • Increase in operational efficiency by reducing cash costs
  • Strong Training policy with the creation of an engineering school

Consequently, it should be possible to see improvements in operating performance during 2012.

In the Solar business area the same path of performance growth is expected, as seen in 2010, consequence of the projects won in 2011 and strategy implemented with continued operating flexibility and weak dependence in terms of geographic concentration of the projects.

At the group level, despite the increase of external risks and the current economic conjuncture, we chose to maintain the Strategic Plan present in February 2010, as it continues to run well and still in execution until the end of 2013, and is achievable.

It is the Martifer Group's objective to have a debt level between 230 million euro and 250 million euro by the end of 2013. The Martifer Group still has approximately 187 million euro of non-core assets, 85% of it are renewable energy projects. To achieve this level it was decided to sell approximately 60% of the total value, which we believe will possible to achieve in the next two years (2012 and 2013), despite the environment of economic recession. In 2012, the main objective will be the disposal of the Babadag wind farm in Romania (42MW) and the continuing the process of sale of the solar licenses in Portugal.

Finally, below, we can see the strategic plan follow up. As we can see, some of the goals have already been met.

MAIN RISKS

08 | MAIN RISKS

The incertainty that currently influenses the capital markets includes a variety of risks to which Martifer Group is exposed to, as price risk, currency price, interest rate price, liquidity price and credit price.

FINANCIAL RISKS

a) Price risk

The volatility of raw material prices constitutes a risk for the Group. The changes in the price of steel and aluminium impact the operational activity of the metallic construction and energy systems business areas. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk by including clauses in its contracts with customers that allow it to pass on raw-material price fluctuations and by negotiating fixed prices for large scale projects with its suppliers.

b) Currency risk

Currency risk reflects the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates between different currencies. The Group's exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with a currency other than the Euro, from transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group companies and from the existence of transactions with external parties made by the operational companies in a currency other than the reporting currency of the Group.

The Group's currency risk management policy aims to reduce the sensitivity of its results to exchange rate variations.

Subsidiaries, in their day-to-day operational activities, seek to use their local currency. Likewise, loans contracted by foreign subsidiaries are preferably denominated in their local currency.

Certain operational activities of the Group are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates vis-à-vis their local currency. The prices of some raw-materials, namely steel and aluminium, are generally expressed or indexed to the US Dollar which can have an impact on the Group's results. It is possible, to a large extent, to include these variations in the sales prices. Where this is not possible, the Group hedges this exposure by contracting foreign exchange derivative contracts in the subsidiary exposed to the said risk.

In so far as the currency risk arising from the translation of Group investments in foreign subsidiaries that report in a currency other than the Euro is concerned, the Group seeks to manage it through natural hedging, using the companies' balance sheets, namely seeking finance in their local currency. In parallel, the Group seeks to mitigate this currency impact through the diversification of the countries it is present in.

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of market interest rate levels.

The Group relies on external financing to fund its activity and it is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of its borrowings are indexed to market interest rates.

In the more significant long-term loans, the Group relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk on the said loans. The amounts, interest due dates and repayment schedules of the loans underlying the interest rate derivatives are identical to those of the loans they hedge, and, as such, are considered perfect hedges.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk reflects the Group's ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.

The Group manages its liquidity risk in two main ways:

  • On the one hand, it seeks to ensure that its financing structure adequately reflects the nature of its obligations. Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded through long-term facilities (equity and long-term loans) whilst shortterm obligations are funded through short-term loans. Long-term loans are generally contracted for periods of 5 to 7 years, generally with a grace period of the principal of 1 to 2 years.
  • On the other hand, subsidiaries have contracted, with financial institutions, short-term facilities for amounts that assure their liquidity. Subsidiaries also have adequate amounts of cash to cover their short-term commitments.

e) Credit risk

The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions and the escalation of the adversities facing local, national and international economies can influence Martifer Group's client default rate, with possible negative impacts on the Group's results.

Aware of this reality, the Group seeks to evaluate all its clients' credit risk in order to establish credit limits, with the ultimate purpose of ensuring the collection of the amounts due within the periods negotiated.

With this objective in mind, the Group uses credit rating agencies, regularly analyses risk and credit control, and collects from and manages cases in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit conceded and to minimize the risk of credit default.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Martifer SGPS, S.A., with its head-office at Zona Industrial, Apartado 17, Oliveira de Frades – Portugal ('Martifer SGPS' or 'the Company'), and its group of companies ('Group'), have as its main activity the construction of steel infrastructures and solar activity - which focuses on the development of photovoltaic projects, the installation of turnkey photovoltaic parks or under the EPC and the development of architectural integration projects and microgeneration. They also have other activities which highlight the promotion and development of renewable energy projects (Nota 3).

Martifer SGPS was incorporated on 29 October 2004, its share capital having been realized through the delivery of shares, valued at its market value, that the shareholders held in Martifer - Construções, S.A., a company that was incorporated in 1990 and which, at that time, was the holding company of the current Martifer Group.

As of June 2007, after the initial public offering Martifer SGPS, S.A. shares have been listed on Euronext Lisbon.

At 31 December 2011, the Group has developed its activity in Portugal, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Czech Republic, Angola, Brazil, Greece, United States of America, Australia, Mozambique, Ireland, Italy, Belgium, Bulgary, Netherlands, France, Thailand, Morocco, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Germany.

All the amounts presented in these notes are expressed in Euros (rounded at unit), unless otherwise stated.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

These accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the consolidated financial statements of the Martifer Group and were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union, in force at the beginning of the economic period started 1 January 2010. These are the International Financial Reporting Standards, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), that have been endorsed by the European Union.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation (Note 2) and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and certain financial instruments, which are stated at fair value.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those considered in the financial statements for the year ended as of 31 December 2010 and disclosed in the corresponding notes, prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by the EU, except in respect of the standards and interpretations entering into force on or after 1 January 2011, the adoption of which have not had an impact on the Group's profits or financial position and with exception of the referred in the following paragraph.

The IAS 31 establishes two options to the record of financial interests in joint arrangements: proportionate method, or equity method.

In 2011, so as to transmit a more reliable and relevant information about the financial situation of Martifer Group, as well as of the results of its operations, the Group proceeded to the change of consolidation method applicable to financial interests in joint arrangements (from proportionate method to equity method).

This understanding is consistent with the recent changes introduced by IASB (International Accounting Standard Board), with the issuance of a new standard for the accounting of joint- ventures, which eliminates the alternative of using the proportionate method to joint-ventures, based on the fact that, in these situations, the participating entities have not severally had effective control of their share of the assets or are not responsible for their share of the responsible liabilities (IFRS 11).

Martifer Group shares the grounds set out that are in the basis of the elimination of the option of using the proportionate method, currently allowed by IAS 31, so that it decided to change the form of consolidation of its joint arrangements with effect as from

January 1, 2011, and for the purpose, it has restated its financial statements for prior periods, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8.

The entities considered joint arrangements, whose interests of Martifer Group are accounted for by equity method, its head offices and the proportion of share capital, are the following:

1 January 2004 corresponds to the first period of application by the Group of the IAS/IFRS, in accordance with the IFRS 1 – 'First time adoption of the International Financial Reporting'.

The consolidated financial statements were presented in Euros since this is the main currency of the Group's operations. The financial statements of Group companies expressed in foreign currency were translated to Euros according to the accounting policies described in Note I xv).

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the IAS/IFRS, the Group's Board of Directors adopted certain assumptions and estimations that affect the assets and liabilities reported, as well as the profits and losses incurred related to the reported periods (Note 1 xxvi)). All the estimations and assumptions of the Board of Directors were performed taking into consideration the best knowledge available at the financial statements approval date, of the events and the dealings in progress.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared for appreciation and approval by the Shareholder's General Meeting. The Board of Directors has approved them for issuance, on March 1, 2012, and believes that those will be approved without any changes.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Group's consolidation methods are as follows:

a) Group companies

Investments in companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at Shareholder's General Meetings or is able to establish financial and operational policies so as to benefit from its activities (definition of control normally used by the Group), are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method.

Equity and net profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately, under the captions non-controlling interests, in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated income statement, respectively. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 2.

In business combinations occurred after 1 January 2004, assets and liabilities of each subsidiary (including contingent liabilities) are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition as established in IFRS 3. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as Goodwill or, when identified, added to the asset that originated such difference. Any excess of the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired over the cost of the business combination is recognized as income badwill in the profit or loss statement for the year, after reassessment of the estimated fair value. Non-controlling interests include the proportion of the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities recognized on the acquisition of Group companies.

In business combinations occurred after 1 January 2010 (IFRS 3R), any excess of the cost of the business combination, of the fair value of any investment held before the acquisition of control and the value of non-controlling interests, over the fair value of assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities is recognized as Goodwill. If the cost of the business combination, the fair value of any shares held before the acquisition of control and the value of non-controlling interest, is less than the fair value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the profit or loss statement for the year. The transaction costs regarding business combinations that occur after this date, are recognized as an expense when incurred.

Transactions of sale or acquisition of a non-controlling interests do not result in the recognition of gains, losses or goodwill, and any difference between the value of transaction and the book value of investment traded, recognized in equity.

The negative results generated in each period by subsidiaries with non-controlling interests are allocated in percentage held to noncontrolling interests, independently this becomes negative.

The non-controlling interests, recognized in business combinations, are measured in proportion of the fair value of identified net assets, transaction by transaction.

The results of the Group companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement as from the date of their acquisition or up to the date of their disposal.

Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are performed, whenever necessary, in order to adapt their accounting policies to those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses and distributed dividends are eliminated on the consolidation process. Whenever the Group has, in substance, control over other entities incorporated for a specific purpose, even if no share capital interest is directly held in those entities, those are consolidated by the full consolidation method. At 31 December 2011, there are no entities in this situation.

b) Associate and joint controlled companies

Investments in associate companies (companies where the group has significant influence but does not have the control on the financial and operational decisions of those companies - mainly investments representing between 20% and 50% of the company's share capital) and in joint controlled companies (companies where the group share control with other partners) are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the equity method in the caption 'Investments in associate companies and joint arrangements'.

Under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost, adjusted by the amount corresponding to the share of changes in equity (including net profit) of associate and jointly controlled companies and by the dividends received, net of impairment losses.

The assets and liabilities of each associate and jointly controlled company (including contingent liabilities) are identified at their fair value on the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associate companies is recognized at the date of acquisition as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment in associate companies and joint arrangements. Any excess of the Group's share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the business combination, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in the profit or loss statement.

An assessment of the investments in associate and jointly controlled companies is performed whenever there is evidence that the asset might be impaired. Any impairment loss detected is recorded in the income statement.

When the Group's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, such investment is reported at nil value while the equity of the associate and jointly controlled company is negative, except when the Group has assumed commitments to the associate company, situation on which a provision is recorded for that purpose.

The Group's share in unrealized gains arising from transactions with associate and jointly controlled companies is eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the assets transferred.

Investments in associate and jointly controlled companies are listed in Note 2.

MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The main accounting policies, judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the years presented are as follows:

i) Goodwill

For business combinations occurred after 1 January 2004, the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of subsidiaries, associate companies or jointly controlled companies at the date of acquisition, is recorded in the caption 'Goodwill' (in the case of the investments in Group companies) or in the caption 'Investments in associate companies and joint arrangements' (in the case of investments in associate companies or jointly controlled companies).

Goodwill arising from acquisitions prior to the date of transition to IFRS (1 January 2004) or the Goodwill arising on the incorporation of the Group (Introduction) have been recorded by their net carrying amount, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal, and were subject, as from that date, on an annual basis to impairment tests.

Goodwill is not amortized, but it is subject to impairment tests, on an annual basis, and the carrying amount is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use.

The fair value less costs to sell is the amount that could be obtained in an arms-length transaction. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows that arises from the continuous use of such asset and its sale at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated individually to each asset, or when it is not possible, it is estimated for the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses identified in the year are recorded in the income statement under the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses', and may not be reversed.

The excess of the acquisition cost of investments in foreign companies (group, associate and jointly controlled companies) over the fair value of their identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition is calculated using the functional currency of each of those companies. Translation to the Group's currency (Euro) is made using the closing exchange rate. Exchange rate differences arising from this translation are recorded in the caption 'Foreign currency translation reserves'.

Any excess of the Group's share in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities in group, jointly controlled and associate companies over its acquisition cost, at the date of acquisition, is recognized as income in the profit or loss statement for the year, after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.

ii) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will only be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through its continued use. Nevertheless, such classification obliges the sale to be highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) being available for immediate sale in its present condition. In addition, the Board of Directors must be committed to the sale, which should occur in the short term (normally, but not exclusively, within one year from the date of that classification).

Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell and are not amortised or depreciated during the period they are classified as held for sale.

iii) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at their acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them, if they are controlled by the Group and if their cost can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets are mainly comprised by software and other rights, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis for a 3-year period, and by the costs incurred in obtaining licences to explore wind farms, which are depreciated according to the license period granted (actually 20 years).

Costs incurred during the licensing period of wind farms are recognized as intangible assets if, and only if, all of the following requirements have been fulfilled:

  • economic feasibility studies confirm that the wind farm will generate future economic benefits;
  • the Group has the technical and financial capacity to install and explore those wind farms; and
  • the expenditure attributable to the wind farms during its development stage can be reliably measured.

Expenditure on research activities related with wind farms is recognized as an expense in the year on which are incurred.

The remaining research expenses are recognized as costs in the year on which are incurred.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognized separately from goodwill whenever they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be reliably measured. The cost of such intangible assets is the fair value at the acquisition date.

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. Those assets are depreciated on a straight line basis, usually during the period in which economic benefits are expected to occur.

iv) Land and buildings held for use

Land and buildings held for use are stated in the statement of financial position by their revalued amount, being this the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation or impairment losses. Revaluations are performed on a regular basis by independent appraisers, in order that the carrying amount of such assets does not differ materially from the one that would be determined using the fair value at the balance sheet date.

Any adjustments arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings are recorded against equity. When a tangible fixed asset which has been subject to a positive revaluation, in subsequent years is subject to a negative revaluation, the adjustment is recorded in an equity caption to the extent of the corresponding previous positive revaluation, net of amortizations. The remaining amount is recorded as a cost in the income statement for the year.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis during the buildings useful life, which nowadays is ranging 20 to 60 years, while land is not subject to depreciation.

v) Other tangible assets

Other tangible assets acquired until 1 January 2004 (transition date to IFRS) are recorded at their deemed cost, which corresponds to their acquisition cost or their revalued acquisition cost, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in force in Portugal at that date, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

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

Tangible assets in progress are fixed assets still under construction/development and are recorded at their acquisition cost net of impairment losses. Those assets are depreciated as from the moment they are available for use and with the quality and technical conditions to operate efficiently. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, over the expected useful life for each class of tangible assets. The useful life is estimated taking into consideration the expected use of each class of tangible assets, as well as their natural consumption and technical obsolescence.

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

Equipment:
Basic equipment 3 to 7 years
Transportation equipments 4 to 5 years
Tools and dies 3 to 5 years
Office equipments 3 to 10 years
Other tangible assets:
Equipment installed in wind and solar farms 15 to 20 years
Other tangible assets 3 to 10 years

Maintenance and repair costs that do not increase the useful life, nor create significant improvements in tangible assets, are recognized as costs in the year in which they occur.

vi) Leasings

Leases are classified as (i) finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as (ii) operating leases.

Whether a lease is classified as finance or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract.

Fixed assets acquired under finance lease contracts and the related liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method. Under this method the tangible assets, the corresponding accumulated depreciation (as defined in iv) and v) above) and liabilities are recorded in accordance with the contractual financial plan at fair value or, if less, at the present value of payments. In addition, interest included in lease payments and depreciation of the tangible assets is recognized as expenses in the statement of profit and loss for the year to which they relate.

Assets under long term rental contracts are recorded in accordance with the operational lease method. In accordance with this method, the rents paid are recognized as an expense, over the rental period.

vii) Investment properties

Investment property is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation and not for use in the course of current operations.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value, and gains or losses arising from changes in its fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Costs incurred in the investment property (maintenance, repair, insurance and property tax), as well as revenues and rental income are included in profit or costs for the period in which they arise.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 PAGE 87

viii) Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the Group's statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group becomes a part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

a) Financial instruments

The Group classifies the financial instruments in the following categories: 'Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss', 'Borrowings and receivables', 'Held-to-maturity investments' and 'Available-for-sale investments'. The classification depends on the intention inherent to the investment's acquisition.

The classification is made at the initial recognition and re-appreciated on a quarterly basis.

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: this category is divided into two: 'financial assets classified as held for trading' and 'financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss'. A financial asset is classified under this category, namely, if it is acquired for the purpose of selling it in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as instruments held for trading, except if designated as an effective hedging instrument. Financial instruments in this category are classified as current if they are held for trading or if it is expectable that they are going to be realized within twelve months of the end of reporting period.
  • Held-to-maturity financial assets: this category includes financial assets, non-derivatives, with fixed or variable reimbursements with fixed maturity, and whose intention of the Board of Directors is to maintain them till its maturity.
  • Available-for-sale financial assets: here, are included the financial assets, non-derivatives, that are designated as availablefor-sale and those that are not classified as 'borrowings and receivables', 'held-to-maturity investments' or 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'. This category is classified as non-current, unless the Board of Directors has the intention to sell the investment within 12 months from the end of reporting period.

Held-to-maturity financial assets are classified as non-current investments, except if their maturity is less than a year from the end of the reporting period. Financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current in the statement of financial position.

All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the trade date, this means, on the date when the Group assumes the risks and obligations inherent to the acquisition and sale of the assets. All these investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration paid for it, including transaction costs, with the exception of 'Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss'. In this last case, the financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value and the transactions costs are recognized in the income statement. Financial investments are derecognized when the right or obligation to receive or pay financial flows has expired or has been transferred, and, therefore, all the risks and benefits have been transferred.

'Available-for-sale financial assets' and 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are subsequently measured and recorded in the financial statements at fair value.

Gains and losses, realized or not, resulting from a change in the fair value of the 'Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss' are recognized in the profit and loss statement of the year. Gains and losses, resulting from a change in the fair value of the 'Available-for-sale assets' are recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income, under the caption 'Fair value reserves - Available for sale assets' until the investment is sold, received or in anyway alienated, in which moment the accumulated gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.

The fair value of financial assets is based on current market prices. If the market on which the investments are traded is not active (no quoted price exists), the Group establishes the instrument fair value using other evaluation techniques, similar transactions, discounted cash flow analysis or using option pricing models. Fair value of listed investments is calculated using the closing price in Euronext Lisbon at the end of the reporting period.

To determine the fair value of a financial asset or liability, if there is an active market, is applied the market price. This is the level 1 of hierarchy of fair value, as defined in IFRS 7 – Financial instruments.

If the market on which the investments are traded is not active, which is the case of some financial asset or liability, are used evaluation techniques generally acceptable in the market, based on market assumptions. This is the level 2 of hierarchy of fair value, as defined in IFRS 7 – Financial instruments.

An entity applies evaluation techniques for listed financial instruments, such as, derivatives, financial investments at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale investments. The evaluation models frequently used are discounted cash flow analysis and option valuation models which incorporate market information such as interest rate curves.

For some complex financial instrument, are used complex evaluation models with assumptions and information that are not directly observable in the market, for which an entity applies internal estimates and assumptions. This is the level 3 of hierarchy of fair value, as defined in IFRS 7 – Financial instruments.

The 'Borrowings and receivables' and 'Held-to-maturity investments' are recorded at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Financial assets are assessed, by the Group, for indicators of impairment at each reporting period. In the case of equity instruments classified as available-for-sale, a significant decline (above 20%) or a prolonged decline (during two consecutive quarters) in its fair value to amounts lower than its acquisition cost, are indicators of impairment. For all other financial assets objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
  • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced directly by the impairment losses for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the income statement of the year. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss statement in the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses'.

With the exception of 'Available-for-sale investments', if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent of the accumulated impairment loss.

b) Trade receivable and other receivables

Trade and other debtors debts do not bear interest and are recorded at their nominal value less any impairment losses, recognized under the allowance account 'Impairment losses on accounts receivables', in order to reflect their net realization value.

c) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up-front fees and commissions related to the issuance of those instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis

d) Trade payables and other payables

Accounts payable that do not bear interest, are recorded at their nominal value, which is substantially equivalent to its fair value.

e) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance, independently from the legal form they assume. The Group classifies as Equity instruments the contracts that evidence a residual interest of the Group in a group of assets after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group classifies financial liabilities those which are expected to occur a disbursement of funds.

f) Derivatives

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to financial risks. Derivative instruments are only used for hedge accounting purposes with the appropriate approvals by the Group's Board of Directors.

The derivate instruments used by the Group, classified as cash flows hedges, are exclusively related to the hedging of interest rates from loans obtained. The loan's amount, the interest's maturity and the loan's reimbursement plans inherent to the hedging instrument are in all respects similar to the established conditions for the contractual loans, which configures a totally effective correlation.

The criteria used by the Group to classify the derivatives instruments as cash flow hedges are as follows:

  • At the inception of the hedge and in subsequent periods, the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated;
  • Hedge effectiveness can be reliably measured;
  • There is adequate documentation about the transaction until the inception of the hedge;
  • The transaction to be hedged is highly probable to occur.

Cash flow hedges are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently revaluated at their fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in the statement of comprehensive income in the caption 'Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives'. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement, when calculated.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised. When a hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in the statement of comprehensive income is transferred immediately to the profit and loss of the year and the subsequent revaluations of the derivative are recorded in the income statement.

g) Notes receivable and factoring

The Group only derecognizes a financial asset when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or it transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset to a third party. If the Group substantially retains the risks and benefits inherent to the detention of such assets, it still recognizes them in its financial statements recording a liability in the caption 'Borrowings', as the monetary collateral for the given assets.

Therefore, notes receivable and factoring accounts receivable are recorded at each reporting period as liabilities in the financial statements, with the exception of 'non-recourse factoring' operations, till the underlying assets are fully collected.

ix) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury applications which maturity is less than three months and for those which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

x) Inventories

Merchandise and raw, subsidiary and consumable materials are stated at the lower of their average acquisition cost, or net realisable value (estimated sales price deducted from costs to make the sale). Finished and intermediate goods are recorded at production cost (includes the cost of incorporated raw materials, direct labour and overheads), which is lower than their market value.

Impairments are recognized when is estimated that its net realizable value is lower than its carrying amount.

xi) Accrual basis

Expenses and income are recorded in the year to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. Estimated amounts are used when actual amounts are not known. The captions of 'Other non-current assets', 'Other current assets', 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities' include expenses and income relating to the current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods. The latest ones will be included by the corresponding amount in the results of the periods that they relate to.

xii) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recorded net of returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

a) Construction contracts (metallic structure constructions and the construction of turnkey wind farms and solar parks)

The Group recognizes income and costs associated with construction contracts, on an individual basis, using the stage of completion method. Under this method, at the end of each period, income and expenses are recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined by the ratio between costs incurred till the balance sheet date and the total estimated contract costs. The difference between income determined by this ratio and the total amount invoiced is recorded in 'Other current assets' or in 'Other current liabilities'.

Revenue arising from contract variations, claims and completion premiums is recorded when these are agreed with the customer, or when negotiations are at an advanced stage and it is probable that these will be favourable to the Group.

To face the costs that will be incurred during the guarantee period, the Group recognizes a provision, on an annual basis, to cover such legal obligation. This provision is estimated taking into consideration the annual production, as well as the historical costs incurred in the past.

When it is likely that the total estimated costs for the construction contract exceed the revenue negotiated, the expected loss is immediately recognized in the income statement.

b) Short-term construction contracts

In these types of contracts, the Group recognizes revenues and costs as they are billed or incurred, respectively.

c) Recognition of revenue resulting from real estate activity

Relevant costs incurred in real estate projects include the direct construction costs, the costs associated to the realization of the projects as well as their licensing costs. Borrowing costs attributable to real estate projects are capitalized until the project is completed.

At 31 December 2011, the caption 'Inventories' doesn't include an amount of borrowing costs associated with loans obtained to finance several real estate projects (Euro 107,869 at 31 December 2010).

Borrowing costs are only capitalized if the project is in progress, if it is waiting for licenses from local authorities, or if it is under construction. In all other cases, it is considered to be suspended and no capitalization of borrowing costs is performed.

Revenue, in this kind of operations, has been generated and recognized, mainly, when the contractual position that the Group holds in the financial lease contract is transferred, and is calculated as the difference between the selling price to a third party and the initial agreed price with the lesser.

d) Revenue recognition related with the sale of goods (merchandise and finished products)

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
  • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and
  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

xiii) Own worked capitalized

The internal costs (raw-materials, staff and production costs) incurred during the production of tangible assets are capitalized only when the following requirements are fulfilled:

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 PAGE 91

  • the underlying assets are identified;
  • there is a strong possibility that the assets will generate future economic benefits; and
  • production costs are measured reliably.

Own work capitalized during 2011 corresponds, mainly, to the construction of metallic structures facility in Brazil.

xiv) Costs incurred with proposals in preparation

Costs incurred with proposals in preparation are recognized in the income statement as they are incurred, as a consequence of the unpredictability of their outcome.

xv) Balances and transactions in foreign currency

Individual financial statements:

All the assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency, using the official exchange rate at the reporting date. The exchange differences, favourable or unfavourable, originated from the differences between the exchange rates at the transactions date and those used at the collections, payments or at the reporting period, are recognized by their gross amount as profits and losses in the income statement.

Consolidated financial statements:

Assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated to Euros using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. In addition, some long term loans granted to subsidiaries, denominated in a currency other than Euros and for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are considered as part of the Group's net investment. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recorded in equity and recognized in the Group's foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange rate differences are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which the foreign entity is disposed of.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and therefore translated at the closing rate.

The following exchange rates have been used in the preparation of the financial statements:

xvi) Income tax

Income tax is calculated based on the taxable profit from the companies included in the consolidation, taken into consideration the current income tax and deferred income tax in accordance with IAS 12. Current tax is calculated based on the taxable profit resulting from the accounting results and taking into consideration local applicable tax laws for each group company.

Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the calculation of taxable profit, and it is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

The deferred tax amount that results from transactions or events recognized directly in equity, is also registered directly in equity, not affecting the profit for the year.

xvii) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs related to borrowings are recorded in the income statement on an accrual basis.

Borrowing cost related to loans obtained to finance the construction of tangible fixed assets and some inventories (real estate projects) are capitalized, being a part of the asset's carrying amount. The capitalization begins when the preparation of the construction activity starts and it ceases when the asset is being used, at the end of the production or when the project is suspended.

xviii) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These provisions are reviewed at each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate at the date, taking into consideration all the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates. When a provision is determined using the future cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

The provisions recognized by the Group result, mainly, from:

i) Construction guarantees

The Group recognizes a provision for estimated costs to be incurred in the future with construction guarantees provided on solar parks and wind farms sold. This provision is recognized on the date of disposal or when the service is rendered, which affect the gain obtained. At the end of the guarantee period (5 years on average) any remaining amount of provision is reversed by profit or loss.

ii) Onerous contracts

The Group recognizes a provision for onerous contracts at the time that for construction contracts in progress it is established that the costs to be incurred to satisfy the obligation assumed exceeds future economic benefits. This analysis is made contract by contract accordingly to information provided by owners of projects.

iii) Legal claims in progress

It's recognized a provision for legal claims in progress when there is a reliable estimative of costs to be incurred as a consequence of lawsuits by third parties.

iv) Financial assets under equity method

It' s recognized a provision whenever associate or jointly controlled company has negative equity and it's considered that Group took over responsibilities in addition to their share capital.

xix) Government grants

Grants received for staff training programmes and new hiring actions are recognized as income in the same period when the relevant expenses are incurred.

Grants received related to tangible fixed assets are recorded as deferred income and are recognized as income on a straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the underlying assets.

xx) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding Goodwill

At each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. When the asset carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognize and recorded in the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses'. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs to sell is the amount that could be obtained in an arms-length transaction. Value in use is calculated by assessing the estimated future cash flows generated by the asset discounted to the present value, taking into consideration its residual value. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The reversal of impairment losses recorded in previous years is recognized when the underlying reasons that cause that entry are no longer applicable and consequently the asset is no longer impaired. The reversal of impairment losses is recognized in the income statement as an operational result. However, the reversal of an impairment loss is performed just up to the limit of the amount that would be recorded through the historical cost, or through the revalued amount, net of amortization and depreciation, if the impairment loss had not been recorded in previous years.

xxi) Employee benefits

Retirement benefits

As stated in Note 37, the Group hired a specific insurance policy (in effect a capitalization fund) as a retirement complement benefit attributable to the Group's employees.

The cash contributions (equivalent to a monthly salary by employee) to that insurance policy, hired with 'Companhia de Seguros Global', are performed in an annually basis subject to a decision by the Board of Directors, and are recorded in the income statement in the caption 'Staff costs'. Additionally, the right to receive such benefit at the retirement date will only occur if the employee ends its labour activity in the Group, if not, such benefit will be lost.

Stock options

The Group rewards the services rendered by some workers through an equity-settled stock option plan. The fair value of the services received is recognized as cost, against an increase in an equity account during the vesting period. The amount registered as cost represents the fair value of the stock option attributed, estimated based only on market conditions. Acquisition conditions different from market conditions were used only to estimate the number of options vested at the end of acquisition period. The number of options expected to become exercisable is reviewed for each reporting date, and the difference arising from the previous estimate is registered in the profit and loss statement as well as in equity.

xxii) Statement of financial positions presentation

Assets to be realized and liabilities to be settled twelve months after the reporting date are classified as non-currents. Likewise, given their nature, 'Deferred tax' and 'Provisions' are classified as non-current on the statement of financial position.

xxiii) Contingent assets and liabilities

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

Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when future economic benefits are probable.

xxiv) Consolidated statement of cash flow

The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared, using the direct method, according with IAS 7. The Group classifies as 'Cash and cash equivalents' applications which mature in less than three months and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.

The consolidated cash flow statement is classified by operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities include cash receipts from clients, cash payments to suppliers, cash payments to and on behalf of employees and other operating activities payments and receipts. Investing activities cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts related with acquisitions and sales of tangible assets and investments.

Financing activities cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts of loans and borrowings, financial lease contracts and dividend payments.

xxv) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the reporting period that provide further evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period ("adjusting events"), are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are indicative of conditions occurring after the end of the reporting period ("non-adjusting events"), if material, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

xxvi) Judgements and estimates

In the process of preparation of the Group's financial statements the Board of Directors used its best knowledge and accumulated experience in past and current events making certain assumptions as to future events.

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended at 31 December 2011 and 2010 include:

  • Fair value and useful lives of the tangible assets, namely land and buildings;
  • Impairment analysis of goodwill;
  • Recognition of provisions and impairment losses;
  • Revenue recognition on construction contracts and guarantees;
  • Recognition of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses;
  • Fair value of derivatives.

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of consolidated financial statements and 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 recognized in net income, in accordance with IAS 8, using a prospective methodology.

xxvii) Financial risk management

Financial markets include a high degree of uncertainty to which the Group is exposed. This uncertainty is translated into several risks, namely, price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

a) Price Risk

The volatility of raw material prices constitutes a risk for the Group. The changes in the price of steel and aluminium impact the operational activity of the metallic construction business area. The Group has sought to mitigate this risk by including clauses in its contracts with customers that allow it to pass on raw material price fluctuations and by negotiating fixed prices for large scale projects with its suppliers.

b) Currency Risk

Currency risk reflects the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates between different currencies. The Group's exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with a currency other than the Euro, from transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group companies and from the existence of transactions with external parties made by the operational companies in a currency other than the reporting currency of the Group.

The Group's currency risk management policy aims to reduce the sensitivity of its results to exchange rate variations.

Subsidiaries, in their day-to-day operational activities, seek to use their local currency. Likewise, loans contracted by foreign subsidiaries are preferably denominated in their local currency.

Certain operational activities of the Group are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates vis-à-vis their local currency. The prices of some raw-materials, namely steel and aluminium, are generally expressed or indexed to the US Dollar which can have an impact on the Group's results. It is possible, to a large extent, to include these variations in the sales prices. Where this is not possible, the Group hedges this exposure by contracting foreign exchange derivative contracts in the subsidiary exposed to the said risk.

Insofar as the currency risk arising from the translation of Group investments in foreign subsidiaries that report in a currency other than the Euro is concerned, the Group seeks to manage it through natural hedging, using the companies' balance sheets, namely seeking finance in their local currency. In parallel, the Group seeks to mitigate this currency impact through the diversification of the countries it is present in.

The relevant amounts of the Group's assets and liabilities recorded in a currency other than the Euro are as follows:

c) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of market interest rate levels.

The Group relies on external financing to fund its activity and it is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of its borrowings are indexed to market interest rates.

In the more significant long term loans, the Group relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk on the said loans. The amounts, interest due dates and repayment schedules of the loans underlying the interest rate derivatives are identical to those of the loans they hedge, and, as such, are considered perfect hedges.

The Group interest rate sensitivity analysis to changes more or less than 1% is shown in Note 28 'Borrowings'.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk reflects the Group's ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.

The Group manages its liquidity risk in two main ways:

  • On the one hand, it seeks to ensure that its financing structure adequately reflects the nature of its obligations. Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded through long term facilities (equity and long term loans) whilst short term obligations are funded through short term loans. Long term loans are generally contracted for periods of 5 to 7 years, generally with a grace period of the principal of 1 to 2 years.
  • On the other hand, subsidiaries have contracted, with financial institutions, short term facilities for amounts that assure their liquidity. Subsidiaries also have adequate amounts of cash to cover their short term commitments. The amount of unused short term facilities at the end of 2011 reached approximately 5.7 million Euro. Subsidiaries have also adequate amounts of cash to cover their short term commitments.

The liquidity risk is analysed in Note 28 'Borrowings'.

e) Credit risk

The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions and the escalation of the adversities facing local, national and international economies can influence the Group's client default rate, with possible negative impacts on the Group's results.

Aware of this reality, the Group seeks to evaluate all its clients' credit risks in order to establish credit limits, with the ultimate purpose of ensuring the collection of the amounts due within the periods negotiated.

With this objective in mind, the Group uses credit rating agencies, regularly analyses risk and credit control, and collects from and manages cases in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit given and to minimize the risk of credit default.

3. INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Group bases its disclosure of information for primary segments on its internal organisation in terms of management.

As previously referred in the 2010 Annual Report, and as a natural consequence of the strategic focus on the main businesses, Martifer has changed the reporting segments. From the beginning of 2011, the Group started to present its accounts with the activity divided in two main segments: 'Metallic Construction' and 'Solar'. The other activities and subsidiary companies are included in the 'Others' segment. This is the case of Martifer Renewables (or the 'RE Developer' segment).

The Group is organised in two major business areas: 'Metallic Construction' and 'Solar' that are coordinated and supported by Martifer SGPS. The Metallic Construction business area includes all the construction activities of steel structures, aluminium façades and glass and stainless steel solutions. It includes also the wind power division, components, turbine assembly and turnkey wind farm delivery, engineering division and navy. In the 'Solar' segment the focus is on the production of PV panels, as well as the turnkey solar parks delivery, promotion, licensing, operation and maintenance of projects.

The 'RE Developer' segment includes the promotion and development of projects of renewable energy, with special emphasis in the wind sector. Amounts related with 'RE Developer' are presented in 'Others' segment, together with Martifer SGPS, Martifer Inovação e Gestão S.A. (MIG) and Martifer Gestiune Si Servicii, S.R.L. (MIG RO).

In order to enable the comparability, the amounts related to 2010 were reclassified in accordance with the new division of Group´s activities by operational segments.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the information by business segments is the same used in the preparation of the attached financial statements (Note 1).

Sales and services rendered to external customers 531,852,146 576,689,220 587,225,838

The sales and services rendered decreased in the year, when compared with the same period of previous year. The Metallic Construction business presented a decreased of 34.1%, in result of the lower activity of wind power division, the lower activity in Iberia and Eastern Europe, and the abrupt hold ups in some projects in backlog. Stronger markets such as the UK, France and Brazil should gradually compensate for the weak performance in the Iberian market.

The Solar business presented a strong growth of 35.9%, when compared with the same period from 2010, as a consequence of the strategy implemented during 2010, by which Martifer Solar diversified its activity to several geographies with positive results throughout 2011.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the earnings before interest, taxes, amortizations, provisions and impairment losses (EBITDA), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and profit after tax by primary segments are as follows:

(47,529,470) (52,289,627) (52,384,265)

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBITDA) reached 8.9 million euro, as a consequence of the weaker performance in Metallic Construction business area, affected by the lower activity in the sector in general, and by the restructuring plan in progress and also due to the tougher competitive environment and to the internationalization effort, with the associated costs of entry

In particular, this weaker operational performance in Metallic Construction business area in 2011 was due to the negative margins in markets such as Eastern Europe and Australia and by the impact of the integration of the wind cluster in Portugal, which presented a reduced level of activity with the consequent inability to dilute fixed costs.

In the Solar segment, the EBITDA margin is lower than the one of the previous year mainly due to the tougher competitive environment and to the internationalization effort and the associated costs of entry.

The gains and losses on associate companies, the carrying amount of the investments on associate companies, as well as the increases and reversals of provisions and impairment losses by primary segments are as follows:

The increase in capital expenditure during 2011, when compared with the same period of previous year, is essentially justified with the construction of solar plants at Martifer Solar, mainly France and United States, with the development and construction of RE Developer's wind farms, mainly the construction of the wind farm Babadag in Romania, which is expected to be sold in a medium term, and also with the construction of Metallic Construction's new facilities in Brazil (Notes 17 and 18).

During 2011, the Group increased the impairment losses, mainly to trade debtors and other debtors, estimated according to the experience held by the Group and with basis in its evaluation of the economic context and environment. These impairment losses affected mainly the 'Metallic Construction' business area, which increased the impairment losses in Euro 2.7 million. Please note that, in 2010, the record of impairment losses to trade debtors was presented in caption 'Provisions and impairment losses', according to the next section.

10. PROVISIONS AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES

The provisions and impairment losses during 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010

3,034,335 12,259,419 12,332,046

The change occurred in 'Impairment losses' was due mainly to the fact that 'RE Developer' business area recognized, during 2010, Euro 44,803,164 of non-recurring impairment losses, due to the incorporation, in future perspectives of the projects in progress, of the latest trend of behaviour in the world financial markets.

In the 4th quarter of 2011, it was recorded an impairment loss on financial assets, anticipating the effect of the potential sale of 50% of share capital interest held in Martifer – Hirschfeld Energy Systems, in the United States of America.

11. NET FINANCIAL RESULTS

The net financial results for the years ended at 31 December 2011 and 2010 can be analysed as follows:

55,948,842 56,232,338 57,350,161

The decrease in 'Financial Income', when compared with the same period of 2010, is due mainly to loss of control of the subsidiaries of Nutre (formerly named Prio Foods) and Prio Energy Groups, which originated a gain in 2010 of Euro 13.1 million.

The 'gains on held for sale financial assets' and 'losses on held for sale financial assets', in 2011, refers to the financial gains and losses related to the sale of 50% of share capital interest in Repower Portugal to Repower Systems AG, to the sale of Home Energy to EDP Serviços, to the sale of two wind parks in Poland – Leki Dukieslskie (10MW) and Bukowsko (18MW) – both in activity – and to the sale of the share capital interest in Arestalfer.

The captions 'Foreign exchange gains / (losses)' are related with exchange variations registered in foreign subsidiaries, particularly in Romania, Poland and Angola, and the changes in 2011 compared with the year of 2010 are mainly due to the valorisation of local currencies towards Euro, particularly due to the depreciation of Kwanza (Angola) and Polish Zloty (Poland) against the Euro.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, an average interest rate of 8.41% % and 2.31%, respectively, was used in the capitalization of borrowing costs.

The 'Interest expenses included in the acquisition cost of assets in progress' increased, when compared to the previous year, resulting from the capitalization of borrowing costs to the construction of qualified assets, which it began after the implementation of IAS 23 Reviewed. These values are mainly related to the borrowing costs capitalized in the construction of wind farms in Romania and solar plants in United States of America.

From the amount of deferred tax assets related to tax losses booked at 31 December 2011, of Euro 9,420,512, approximately 51% were generated in Portugal, and its time limit is 2015. The Group recognized these values with basis in projections realized to the each business activity, demonstrating that there will be positive taxable net profits to ensure its recoverability.

At 31 December 2011, the deferred tax assets and liabilities are, respectively, Euro 11,490,962 and Euro 8,106,346 (2010: Euro 5,867,238 and Euro 10,328,339, respectively), with a positive impact in the income statement of Euro 7,707,672 (2010: negative impact of Euro 2,950,182).

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, taking into consideration the Portuguese tax legislation applicable to dividends, no deferred tax liabilities were recorded for the temporary differences arising from the appropriation of results of affiliated companies, due to the fact that such effect is not material to the accompanying financial statements.

The reconciliation between current tax and income tax is summarized as follows:

Martifer SGPS and its companies located in Portugal are individually taxed and are subject to a tax rate of 25%, in terms of corporate income tax ('Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas' or IRC), with the first € 12,500 of taxable income being subject to a rate of 12.5%. Depending on the geographical localization of the headquarters of its affiliated companies, the common tax rate is increased by a municipal tax surcharge that can reach 1.5% of the taxable profit, and, when taxable profits exceed €2,000,000.00 a state surcharge of 2.5% applies.

Since January 2011, Martifer SGPS, SA is covered by the special taxation of groups of companies' mechanism ("RETGS"), which comprises companies in which it holds, directly or indirectly, at least 90% of its capital and meet simultaneously with the other conditions set by that mechanism.

The other subsidiaries of the Group, not covered by this regulation, are taxed individually, through its taxable profit and tax rates applicable.

Additionally, the net income generated in external subsidiaries are taxed with local tax rates, in particular, those generated in Spain, Poland, Romania, France, Italy and Belgium, taxed of 30%, 19%, 16%, 33.9%, 28% and 34%, respectively.

Additionally, the Polish tax authorities granted Martifer Polska an income tax relief, for a period of 19 years. However, as this tax benefit is related to future taxable income and therefore it is not possible to quantify the future benefit.

Portuguese Tax Authorities can review the income tax returns of Martifer SGPS and of its Portuguese subsidiaries for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been generated, tax benefits have been granted or when

any review, claim or impugnation is in course, under which circumstances, the periods are extended or suspended. Therefore, all annual tax returns from year 2007 till 2010 (inclusive) are still subject to such review.

The Board of Directors believes that any corrections that may arise as a result of such reviews would not produce a material impact to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

As corroborated and supported by our lawyers, there are no material assets or liabilities associated to possible or probable tax contingencies that should be disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2011 and 2010.

14. DIVIDENDS

The Board of Directors of Martifer SGPS proposes, to the Shareholder's General Meeting, that the loss for the year generated in the individual financial statements, in the amount of Euro 21,227,709.94 be transferred to retained earnings.

In 2011, the Group did not pay dividends. During 2010 the Group paid Euro 10,000,000 of dividends, corresponding to a dividend of EUR 0.10 per common share.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Martifer SGPS only issued ordinary shares, and as such, no shares have special voting or dividend rights.

Martifer has just one type of potential ordinary dilutive shares: stock options. In order to calculate diluted earnings per share it is necessary to determine if these stock options, independently of being or not exercisable, are diluted, which happened when the exercise price of the opting is lower than the average market price of the shares.

Once the average market price of Martifer' s shares, in the period between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011, was Euro 1.29, lower than the exercise price of the stock options (Euro 3.84), these stock options are non-diluted because, if the options were exercised, the number of shares outstanding would be reduced.

Therefore, at 31 December 2011 there were no differences between the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share calculation.

The share capital of Martifer SGPS is represented by 100,000,000 ordinary shares, fully paid, representing a share capital of Euro 50,000,000.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding is deducted of 1,180,942 treasury stocks acquired by Martifer SGPS, during 2010 and 2011, corresponding to 1,747,651 shares.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the basic and diluted earnings per share can be summarised as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
RESTATED
FY 2010
Profit for the year (I) (49,600,348) (54,799,419) (54,894,057)
Weighted average number of shares outstanding (II) 98,819,058 99,929,092 99,929,092
Basic and diluted earnings per share (I) / (II) (0.5019) (0.5484) (0.5493)

16. GOODWILL

M PRIME GMBH Trading of solar Energy systems December 2011 75% 28,000
818,190

In relation to the financial investment in Eviva Wiatrowa, in 2011 there were three payments by milestones, in accordance to the initial purchase contract, and correcting the acquisition price. This respected the international standard IFRS 3, applicable on the acquisition date.

These acquisitions were accounted in accordance with the purchase method and the majority represented cash out flows.

As a result of the above mentioned acquisitions, the Group decided not to abandon/sell any of the operations developed by the acquired companies.

Fair value allocation of the acquired assets and liabilities can be summarised as follows:

The contribution of the acquired companies to the revenues and to the profit for the year ended 31 December 2011, between the companies' acquisition date and 31 December 2011, is immaterial. Additionally, the effect of the consolidation result of the acquired companies since 1 January 2011, both in revenues and profit, is also immaterial, and is therefore not disclosed.

Since the acquisitions of companies between 31 December 2011 and the date of approval of these financial statements were immaterial, the Board of Directors did not disclose them.

The changes occurred in Reporting segments did not generate the relocation of the goodwill.

Fair value allocation of the acquired assets and liabilities, as well as the goodwill calculation was performed using the financial statements of the acquired companies at the date of acquisition.

The Group performs annual impairment tests to Goodwill, as disclosed in the section 'Main accounting policies, judgements and estimates' of the notes to the consolidated financial statements of 2011. At 31 December 2011, an impairment loss in relation to goodwill in an amount of Euro 790,190 was recorded in the RE Developer segment. These impairment losses are recorded under the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses' in the income statements.

For impairment assessment purposes, goodwill was allocated to the cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination within each operational segment. The recoverable amount for each cash generating unit was calculated based on its value in use, using a discounted cash flow method, supported by the business plans drawn by the people in charge of each unit and approved by the Board of Directors of the Group, and using different discount rates according to the risks inherent to each business.

At 31 December 2011, the methods and assumptions used in the identification, or not, of any impairment losses on the main amounts of goodwill recorded in the accompanying financial statements were as follows:

The Board of Directors at 31 December 2011 concluded that, based on the discounted value of the provisional cash flows of the cash generating units of this business segment, discounted at the applicable rate, the carrying amount of the net assets, including goodwill, did not exceed the recoverable amount.

The projected cash flows were based on the historic performance and on the expectations regarding future developments of the businesses. The people in charge of this segment believe that (in a scenario of normality) a change in the main assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount will not result in impairment losses.

The people in charge of this segment believe that (in a scenario of normality) a change in the main assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount will not result in impairment losses, apart from the loss already recorded.

The change in capital expenditure in 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, relates essentially with the development of solar projects in Portugal (Euro 34.2 million), mainly by the subsidiary Sol Cativante, which was acquired during the 1 st half of 2011.

The sale of intangible assets in the 4th quarter of 2011 is related to licences for the construction of solar plants.

The additions in 2011 are due, mainly, to the development of solar projects in the USA, in the Solar segment.

At 31 December 2011 the amount of borrowing costs capitalized in intangible assets was Euro 1,053,120 related to borrowings obtained to the construction of solar projects in United States.

The increase in capital expenditure in 2011, compared with the same period of 2010, is justified, essentially, by to the development of solar projects in United States and Italy by Martifer Solar (Euro 5,809,053 and Euro 3,406,743), by the construction of RE Developer's wind farm Babadag in Romania (Euro 15,914,804) and the construction of the new metallic construction facility located in São Paulo, Brazil (Euro 6,639,967).

The 'Changes in the consolidation perimeter' are mostly justified by the disposal of the wind farms projects in Poland, Leki Dukielskie (10MW) and Bukowsko (18MW), in the third quarter of 2011.

At 31 December 2011, the amount of borrowing costs capitalized was Euro 541,590 related, mainly, to borrowings obtained to the construction of wind farms in Romania.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the accumulated depreciation and impairment losses of land and buildings, equipments, tangible assets in progress and other fixed assets can be analysed as follows:

Main accounting policies and depreciation rates used for tangible fixed assets are disclosed in captions iv) and v) of the section 'Main accounting policies, judgements and estimates' in Note 1.

Land and buildings are recorded at their fair value based on independent appraisals, performed taking into consideration similar market transactions. Those appraisals were performed in accordance with the international valuation standards and were performed by American Appraisal, Lda.

The valuation method used by the appraisers, in Portugal, Poland and Romania in order to determine the fair value of the land and buildings of the Group was the depreciated replacement cost. All the appraisals were performed in accordance with International Standards. The fair value of the land and buildings does not include any tax or acquisition cost bearable by the buyer and it was determined based on current market prices for similar assets for land and on the actual cost of replacement for buildings. Land and buildings location, size and shape were also considered when determining their fair value.

The cost of Tangible fixed assets held by the Group, acquired under financial leases, at 31 December 2011 was Euro 39,653,618, and its carrying amount Euro 33,044,256.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, there were no tangible fixed assets pledged or mortgaged to financial institutions as guarantee for loans granted, except for the ones acquired through financial lease contracts or through Project Finance and those mentioned in Note 36.

During the year the Group assessed the estimated recoverable amount of some tangible fixed assets, taking into account internal and external factors, which could indicate that some assets were recorded at a higher value than their recoverable amount.

The assessment of impairments in tangible and intangible assets of the Group was based on the business plans of the companies with the assumptions described in Note 16. The applicable discount rates used varied between 8.7% and 10.50%, reflecting both country and activity risks. From this analysis, there was no need to recognize in the period impairment losses to tangible fixed assets.

19. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

At 31 December 2011, the caption 'Investment property' relates to the following investment properties held by Martifer Group: Benavente Shopping Centre, Warehouses in Albergaria-a-velha (Portugal) and Aricesti land (Romania), both held by the Martifer Group to earn rental income and the real estate project of Szczecin (Poland), held for capital appreciation.

These assets are carried at their fair market value, according to an independent appraisal made by specialized entities, according to international practices (RICS Red Book). Martifer Group will perform regular revaluations of these properties, and gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value will be charged to profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the movement occurred in the caption 'Investment properties' is as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Opening balance 14,981,893 57,013,000

Real estate project of Szczecin (Poland) 4,401,511 4,543,000
17,274,847 21,972,300

The movement occurred in the caption 'Investment properties' refers to the reclassification of the land in Aricesti (Romania) from 'Inventories' to this caption, as a consequence of it has been rented. At the end of 2011, this land, as well as other investment properties, was submitted to an independent appraisal, realized by Accento, which attributes a market value of Euro 6.67 million, much higher than its cost of acquisition. However, given the existence of a process which is in progress in the Court, to claim the ownership of the land, Group decided to maintain the land's value unchanged, basing in a principle of prudence.

At 31 December 2010, the group transferred the subsidiaries MTSK1 and Home Energy to 'Investments in associate companies', by the amount of their contribution to the Group consolidation. The basis for this transference was the sale and purchase agreements entered into with Origis and EDP, respectively, which imposes significant limitations to the management of these companies, by Martifer Group. The sale of Home Energy occurred on February 2011 and the sale of MTSK1 occurred in May 2011.

Group's credit risk exposure is due, mainly, to the accounts receivables from its operating activity. Amounts presented in the statement of financial position are net from accumulated impairment losses for doubtful debtors, which have been estimated by the Group in accordance with its experience and based on current conditions and the economic environment.

At 31 December 2011, the accounts receivables recorded as 'Doubtful trade debtors' are all considered to be impaired.

For the remaining outstanding balances, the Group considers that no deterioration of the credit capacity of the counterpart occurred and therefore such balances are not uncollectible.

The average collection period for the Group accounts receivables during 2011 was 199 days, being the main factor the current economic environment. Nevertheless this unfavourable environment, the Group is committed with the compliance of the Group's credit risk policy, namely in what concerns to the selection of debtors (in quality and amounts), as well as the effectiveness of the collections process.

The Board of Directors believes that the amount recorded in the caption 'Loans and accounts receivables' is very similar to its fair value.

The Group does not charge any interest as long as the established collection period (on average 90 days) is being respected. After that period, the interests are invoiced if they are contractually agreed, in accordance with the applicable law, depending on each situation, which tends to occur only in extreme situations.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010 the non-current balances with related companies refer mainly to supplementary capital granted which bear no interest and there is no reimbursement date.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the Group does not have any 'held-to-maturity' financial assets or 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss'.

Reserves

Share premium

The share premium corresponds to the additional amount obtained with the issuance of capital increases. In accordance with the Portuguese commercial legislation, the amounts included in this caption follow the established regimen of the 'Legal reserve', and

therefore, they are non-distributable, except in case of liquidation of the company. However, it may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase share capital.

Legal reserve

Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5% of the annual net profit must be appropriated to a legal reserve, until such reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is non-distributable, except in the case of liquidation of the company. However, it may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase share capital.

This reserve is included in caption 'Other reserves' and amounts to Euro 7,696,844.

Fair value reserves - revaluation of fixed assets

Tangible assets revaluation reserve cannot be distributed to shareholders, except if it is fully depreciated or if the assets subject to revaluation have been sold.

Fair value reserves - Available for sale investments

This caption reflects the fair value changes on financial instruments and cannot be distributed to shareholders nor be used to absorb losses.

Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives

This caption reflects the fair value change in the cash flow hedges and cannot be distributed to shareholders nor be used to absorb losses.

Foreign currency translation reserves

Foreign currency translation reserves reflect the foreign currency exchange differences arising on: (i) translating foreign operations; (ii) net investment in subsidiaries and (iii) goodwill. This reserve cannot be distributed to shareholders nor be used to absorb losses.

Stock options reserves

Stock options reserves reflect the fair value of the services rendered by some workers reviewed, at each reporting date, by the number of options expected to become exercisable.

In accordance with the Portuguese legislation, the distributable reserves amount is determined taking into consideration the individual financial statements of Martifer SGPS, S.A. which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Therefore, Martifer SGPS, S.A. distributable reserves amount to Euro 20,217,077 related to the retaining earnings. However, they are necessary to balance with the negative net profit.

At 31 December 2011, the Group's net debt amounts Euro 330,351,617. We call your attention to the fact that the net debt calculation, includes, besides the borrowings mentioned above, the 'finance leases', 'derivatives' and 'cash and cash equivalents'.

In relation to the structure of the debt of the Group, the Board of Directors believes that, during 2012, the borrowings necessary to the financing of working capital will be renegotiated, an amount of approximately Euro 120 million, and it is expectable that the liquidation of the remaining short term borrowings be realized with the sale of assets, as the sale of wind farms in Romania and the remaining licences of solar parks in Portugal.

Other borrowings

The change in 2011, in the caption 'other borrowings' with maturity beyond 5 years, comparing with 2010, refers to the transfer to finance lease of pre-financial contracts related with Benavente Shopping Centre, by the amount of Euro 6.4 million, and with the plant of Gebox, amounting Euro 3.9 million, as a consequence of the end of its construction, and also to the sale of Gargano Solar, which doesn't belong to the perimeter at 31 December 2011, and whose borrowings amounted Euro 4 million.

At 31 December 2011 the caption 'Other borrowings' includes approximately Euro 4 million of obligations under finance leases (related to the financing of the real-estate projects recorded as 'Advances for the purchase of inventories' – Note 22) which, in case of sale of the referred projects, will be settled at that moment and not in accordance with the established reimbursement plan. The reimbursement of these loans is predicted to occur after 2011.

The caption 'Other borrowings' includes also the loans obtained from two Portuguese governmental agencies (Agência Portuguesa para o Investimento (API) and from Instituto de Apoio às Pequenas e Médias Empresas e ao Investimento (IAPMEI)) as a support for the investment performed by the Group, amounting Euro 5.6 million. Except for API's borrowing to Martifer Construções, which has a grace period of 4 semesters and bears interest at the 6 months Euribor plus a 0.95% spread, the other API and IAPMEI borrowings bear no interest.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the outstanding borrowings are denominated in the following currencies:

30. TRADE PAYABLES AND OTHER PAYABLES

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, trade payables and other payables can be analysed as follows:

NON-CURRENT CURRENT

The balance of non-current 'Trade payables' is related, mainly, with retentions in works performed by external parties, which will be released after the period of guarantee.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, this caption includes accounts payable to suppliers as a result of the Group's operating activity, as well as from tangible and intangible assets acquisitions. The Board of Directors believes that the carrying amount of these balances is very similar to its fair value and the effect of the financial discount of those amounts is not material.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the ageing of accounts payable in captions 'Trade payables' and 'Other payables' is as follows:

The average payment period of the Group has increased to 158 days.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the non-current balances due to related companies and other shareholders refer to loans obtained from companies consolidated by the proportionate method, which bear interest at Euribor 3M increased by a 4% spread.

Besides the financial liabilities disclosed above and in Notes 28 and 29, the Group does not have any other financial liabilities.

31. PROVISIONS

The information related with 'Provisions' as of 31 December 2011 and 2010 can be detailed as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
RESTATED
FY 2010
Quality guarantees 3,166,533 5,390,108 5,390,108
Legal claims in progress 225,203 322,556 322,556

13,383,765 20,325,242 16,588,337

The change in the Provisions, compared with 2010, is as follows:

20,325,242 5,424,371 (2,390,036) (9,406,124) (569,688) 13,383,765

Quality guarantee provisions were recorded to meet potential quality problems resulting from the Group operating activities. In average quality guarantees have a 5 year life period. The provisions are recorded by a percentage of the construction value, which varies between 0.05% and 0.5%, depending on the business segment and company.

During the year, the Group reduced the quality guarantee provisions by the amount of Euro 918,048, associated to end of the period of guarantee of the projects.

The increase in 'other provisions' is due, mainly to the record of provisions to legal claims, by the amount of Euro 1 million, associated to corrections of income tax of previous years, in 'RE Developer' segment, and to the record of a provision of Euro 1.5 million in solar parks in Spain, in the same business segment.

The application of the provision in 'Others' caption, is mostly related to the amount of loss that RE Developer segment, recorded during the first quarter of 2011, with the abandon of the United States market, that had been provisioned during 2010.

The group did not record provisions for the decommissioning of the wind and solar parks, since it does not currently have any legal or contractual obligation to decommission those assets.

Taking into consideration the uncertainties surrounding these provisions as well as their nature, the Group did not perform the financial discount of those amounts.

32. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

At 31 December 2011, the contingent liabilities are as follows:

a) On 29 October 2009, Martifer Polska, in consortium with 'Ocekon Engineering s.r.o.' (Slovakia), concluded with Energomontaz – Południe S.A. an agreement for the works, whose object was to make the fabrication, execution, delivery and installation of steel roof of the Baltic Arena Stadium in Gdańsk (Poland), in the amount of approximately Euro 11.3 million. On the 2nd of September 2010, Martifer received, from Energomontaz – Południe S.A., a notice of immediate termination of the agreement without notice. As the main reason for the termination was alleged delays in execution, which in the opinion of the Martifer is totally unfounded, and ultimately ineffective. Despite attempts at amicable settlement of the matter, Martifer has been forced to submit to the court a motion. On 17th of December, 2010, an official lawsuit has been delivered to the Court in Katowice, against Energomontaz. The amount of lawsuit is approximately Euro 12.6 million, which includes interests, cost of capital involved and full damage caused to Martifer by lack of cooperation. On 18 January 2012, the Energomontaz - Południe SA started a legal claim against Martifer, involving Euro 5.8 million.

Additionally, the same company moved a legal claim against Budimex Dromex SA, claiming the payment of Euro 1.3 million, in which it was recognized, in previous years, an impairment loss by this value. At the same time, Budimex Dromex SA is claiming penalties amounting Euro 3.9 million, value refused by the company.

b) Eviva Energy SRL (Romania) requested the Value Added Tax reimbursement, amounting to Euro 3.53 million, which was refused by the Romanian Tax Authorities and is currently in the process of contestation of the decision in order to recover the full VAT amount.

The Group's expectation is that there will not incur in losses from these processes, so no provision was recoded for that purpose.

The fair value of the derivative contracts above has been valued by the counterparties and as these derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges, the fair value has been recorded against an entry in the equity caption 'Fair value reserves – Derivatives' and in 'Derivatives' in Liabilities.

Fair value valuation of the derivatives hired by the Group (essentially interest rate swaps) was performed by the respective financial institutions acting as counterparty. The fair value valuation model used by the counterparty is based on the discounted cash flows, using the swaps par rates, listed in the interbank market, and available on Reuters and/or Bloomberg terminals for the negotiated periods, which are used to calculate the forward interest rates and discount factors. Then, the present value of the fixed cash flows (fixed leg) and the present value of the variable cash flows (floating leg) is calculated. From the addition of the two legs results the NPV (Net Present Value or discounted value of future cash flows or fair value of derivatives).

The amount for Martifer SGPS includes a guarantee pledged in favour of BP Portugal to cover payments resulting from the acquisition of fuels by Prio Energy, S.A. as well as other guarantees assumed under contracts to build solar parks. In February 2011 guarantees, amounting Euro 40.8 million were cancelled, as the final acceptance certificates were signed for four solar parks in Spain.

As EPC contracts entered by Martifer Solar to build solar parks oblige it or associate companies to assume certain responsibilities regarding quality of equipment and design, photovoltaic facilities construction performance ratios and power output of the installed photovoltaic modules, Martifer SGPS has agreed to cover those needs of Martifer Solar and its associate companies regarding the

responsibilities assumed under these contracts. Martifer Solar is presently considered to have the capacity to support its own commitments without recourse to the Holding Company.

The amount for Martifer Solar relates to the commitments assumed under contracts to build solar parks in Spain.

Pledges or Mortgages

At 31 December 2011, the assets pledged or mortgaged to financial institutions are as follows:

COMPANY GUARANTEE ASSET VALUE DEBT AMOUNT
Martifer Metallic Constructions SGPS Share pledge of Martifer Aluminios SA 225,000 18,750,000

** is also associated with PLN 4,748,756.29 guarantees in force in Martifer Polska.

In addition, in respect to the acquired fixed assets, the Group has entered into the following commitments:

Within the scope of the agreement for attribution of energy injection capacity to the national electric grid for electric energy produced through wind parks, established between Ventinveste S.A. and the Portuguese Authorities, the consortium to which the Group belongs, was obliged to contribute an amount of Euro 41,833,493 to the financing (through the Innovation Fund) of research activities to be selected by the Economy Minister, which will be under the orientation and supervision of a public entity. From this amount, Euro 12,173,546 is already paid (note 17). The Group's responsibility regarding this situation is limited to the maximum of 46% of the amount that was not yet paid.

37. RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Group has not assumed any responsibilities regarding pension plans. However, the group hired a specific insurance policy with 'Companhia de Seguros Global', in effect a capitalization fund, aimed at providing a post–employment benefit to the employees of the Group.

This fund covers all employees with a permanent labour contract. Subject to a decision by the Board of Directors, a cash contribution equivalent to a monthly salary by employee is realized in an annual basis to that insurance policy in the name of that employee. The right to receive such benefit occurs at the retirement date. At that time, each employee can choose the conversion of the benefit into a monthly pension, or into receiving 50% of the benefit amount and converting the remaining in a monthly pension.

39. RELATED PARTIES

a) Balances and transactions

Group companies have commercial relationships between them that qualify as related parties transactions. All of these transactions are performed on an arm's length basis.

Therefore, all of these transactions have been eliminated, since the consolidated financial statements disclose information regarding the holding company and its subsidiaries as a unique company.

MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The main accounting policies, judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the years presented are as follows:

i) Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale when their value is recovered through a sales transaction as opposed to through their continued use or when the Company loses control over a significant operational unit. However, such classification requires that the sale transaction be highly probable, that the asset is available for immediate sale, that the Board of Directors is committed to its sale and that it occurs in the short period (normally, but not exclusively, in the space of one year).

Non-current assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or realisable value net of selling expenses, and the depreciation of fixed assets affected to an operational unit held for sale is interrupted during the related period.

ii) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at their acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are only recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them to the Company, their value can be reliably measured and if they are controlled by the Company.

Intangible assets comprise mainly software and other industrial property rights, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 3 year period.

iii) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses

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

Transportation equipment 4 years
Office equipment 3 to 5 years

Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the useful life nor create significant improvements in tangible fixed assets are recognized as costs in the year in which they are incurred.

iv) Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company is a contractual party to the instrument.

a) Financial instruments:

The Company classifies financial assets in the following categories: 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss', 'Borrowings and receivables', 'Held-to-maturity investments' and 'Available-for-sale financial assets'. The classification depends on the intention inherent to the investment's acquisition.

The classification is made at the initial recognition date and re-appreciated on a quarterly basis.

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: this category is divided into two sub-categories: 'financial assets classified as held for trading' and 'financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss'. A financial asset is classified under this category, namely, if it is acquired for the purpose of selling it in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as instruments held for trading, except if designated as an effective hedging instrument. Financial instruments in this category are classified as current if they are held for trading or if it is expected that they are going to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

  • Held-to-maturity investments: this category includes financial assets, non-derivative, with fixed or variable reimbursements with a fixed maturity, and which the Board of Directors intends to hold to maturity

  • Available-for-sale financial assets: these include financial assets, non-derivative, that are designated as available-for-sale or those that are not and cannot be classified in the preceding categories. This category is classified as non-current, unless the Board of Directors has the intention to sell the investment within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current investments, unless their maturity is less than a year from the balance sheet date. Financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current.

All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the trade date, irrespective of the date of the financial settlement.

These financial assets are initially measured at cost, which is the consideration paid for them, and include transaction costs in the case of available-for-sale investments.

After the initial recognition, financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss and the available-for-sale investments are re-valued at their fair values with reference to their market value at the balance sheet date (measured by their quoted price or through an independent valuation), without regard for any transaction costs that may be incurred until their sale. Financial assets not quoted and in respect of which it is not possible to reliably estimate their fair value, are maintained at acquisition cost less impairment losses.

Gains and losses resulting from a change in the fair value of the 'available–for-sale financial assets' are recognized directly in equity, under the caption Fair value reserves until the investment is sold, received or in any way alienated, or until the fair value of the investment falls below the acquisition cost and this corresponds to an imparity, at which moment the accumulated gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.

Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of 'Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' are recognized in the income statement, under the caption 'Gains/losses in financial assets'.

'Held-to-maturity investments' are recorded at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of capital repayments and interest received.

Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, as laid down by IAS 27, are valued at acquisition cost net of impairment losses.

b) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivable amounts have no implicit interest and are recorded at their nominal value less any impairment losses, recognized in the allowance account 'Accumulated Impairment losses', in order to reflect their net realization value.

c) Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded as liabilities at the nominal value received, net of up-front fees and commissions relating to the issuance of these instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis.

d) Trade and other payables

Accounts payable, which do not bear interest, are recorded at their nominal value which is substantially equivalent to their fair value.

e) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified based on their contractual substance. The Company classifies as equity instruments those contracts that evidence a residual interest of the Group in a group of assets after deducting a group of liabilities.

f) Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments solely to manage its exposure to financial risks by hedging these, and not with a trading objective. The use of derivative instruments has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

The derivative instruments used by the Company, classified as cash-flows hedges, are exclusively related to the hedging of interest rates on loans obtained. The loan amount, interest maturity and loan reimbursement plans inherent to the hedging instrument are in all respects similar to the established conditions for the contracted loans, resulting in perfect hedges.

Interest rate derivatives (Cash-flow hedges) are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently re-valued at their fair value. The portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives effectively covered are deferred in the statement of comprehensive income in the caption 'Fair value reserves – Derivatives', being transferred to the income statement in the same period that the hedge instrument affects the income statement. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement, when determined.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold. When a hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in the statement of comprehensive income in the caption ' Fair value reserves – Derivatives' is transferred to the income statement for the period and the subsequent revaluations of the derivative are also recorded in the income statement.

v) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury operations with a maturity under three months and which are subject to insignificant value changes.

vi) Revenue recognition and accrual based accounting

Revenue and expenses are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. The captions of 'Other accounts receivable', 'Deferred expenses' and 'Other accounts payable' include expenses and income relating to the current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods.

Dividends from investments are recognized when the Company's right to receive them has been established.

Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, with reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable for the operations.

vii) Balances and transactions expressed in foreign currency

All the assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency, using the official exchange rate at the reporting date. The exchange differences, favourable or unfavourable, originating from the differences between the exchange rates at the transaction dates and those used at the collection, payment or at the balance sheet date, are recognized at their gross amount as gains and losses in the income statement.

viii) Income Taxes

The Income tax charge for the period includes current and deferred tax, in accordance with IAS 12. Current tax is calculated based on the taxable profit, in accordance with the local tax laws applicable to the location where the Company has its registered office.

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the calculation of taxable profit as well as in respect of some fiscal credits attributed to the Company, and it is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates and based on the tax legislation expected to apply in the period in which the differences reverse, and evaluated annually using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at each balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are generally recognized to extent that there is a reasonable probability that taxable profits will be available against which to offset them. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

The deferred tax amount that results from transactions or events recognized directly in equity is registered directly in equity as well, not affecting the net income for the period.

ix) Interest charges on borrowings

Borrowing costs incurred with borrowings are recorded in the income statement on the accrual basis.

x) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has an existing obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the said obligation. These provisions are reviewed at each balance date and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date, taking into consideration all the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates. When a provision is determined using the future cash flows estimated to settle the existing obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

xi) Impairment of assets

The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets at each balance sheet date or whenever there is any indication (an event or alteration of circumstances) that these assets may have suffered an impairment loss. When the asset carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognized and recorded in the caption 'Provisions and impairment losses'. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling costs and value in use. The fair value less selling costs is the amount that can be obtained in an arms-length transaction. Value in use is calculated by assessing the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the asset and its residual value, all discounted to their present value. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The reversal of impairment losses recorded in previous years is recognized when the underlying reasons that caused that entry are no longer applicable and, consequently, the asset is no longer impaired. The reversal of impairment losses is recognized in the income statement as an operational result. However, the reversal of an impairment loss is only recognised up to the amount that would be recorded using the historical cost, or the revalued amount, net of amortization and depreciation, if the impairment loss had not been recorded in previous years.

xii) Employee benefits

Retirement benefits

As stated in Note 22, the Company acquired a specific insurance policy, in effect a capitalization fund, as a retirement complement benefit attributable to the Company's employees.

The cash contributions (equivalent to a month's salary per employee) to that insurance policy, contracted with 'Companhia de Seguros Global', are made annually, subject to the Board of Directors' favourable decision, and are recorded in the income statement under the caption 'Staff costs'. Additionally, the right to receive such benefit at the retirement date will only occur if the employee retires in the Company's employ; if not, such benefit will be lost.

Stock options

The Company rewards the services rendered by some workers through an equity-settled stock option plan. The fair value of the services received is recognized as a cost, against an increase in an equity account during the vesting period. The amount registered as a cost represents the fair value of the stock options attributed, estimated based solely on market conditions. Acquisition conditions different from market conditions were only used to estimate the number of options vested at the end of acquisition period. The number of options expected to become exercisable is reviewed at each reporting date, and the difference arising from the previous estimate is registered in the income statement as well as in equity.

xiii) Statement of financial positions presentation

Assets to be realized and liabilities to be settled twelve months after the reporting date are classified as non-currents. Likewise, given their nature, 'Deferred tax' and 'Provisions' are classified as non-current on the statement of financial position.

xiv) Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements. Instead, they are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote.

Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when future economic benefits are probable.

xv) Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement is prepared, using the direct method, in accordance with IAS 7. The Company classifies as 'Cash and cash equivalents' treasury operations which mature in less than three months and which are subject to insignificant value changes.

The cash flow statement is classified by operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities include cash receipts from clients, cash payments to suppliers, cash payments to and on behalf of employees and other operating activities' payments and receipts. Investing activities' cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts related with the acquisitions and sales of tangible and intangible assets.

Financing activities' cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts of loans and borrowings, financial lease contracts and dividend payments.

xvi) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions existing at the balance sheet date (adjusting events), are recognized in the financial statements. Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide information on conditions occurring after the balance sheet date (non-adjusting events), if material, are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

xvii) Judgements and estimates

In preparing the financial statements the Board of Directors used its best knowledge and accumulated experience of past and current events in making certain assumptions as to future events.

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements for the periods ended at 31 December 2011 and 2010 include:

  • Impairment analysis of financial assets;
  • Recording of provisions and impairment losses;
  • Fair value of financial instruments; and
  • Recognition of deferred tax assets in respect of reportable tax losses.

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of the financial statements. However, events may occur in subsequent periods that, not being foreseeable, were not considered in these estimates. Changes to the estimates that occur after the date of these financial statements, will be recognized in net income, in accordance with IAS 8, using the prospective methodology.

xviii) Financial risk management

Uncertainty, a characteristic of the financial markets, translates into a number of risks to which the activities of the Martifer Group are exposed, namely price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

a) Currency risk

Currency risk is the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from the changes in the foreign exchange rates between different currencies. The Company's exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with a currency other than the Euro and of transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group companies and the existence of transactions made by companies operating in currency other than the reporting currency of the Group.

The currency risk management policy of the Company aims to reduce the sensitivity of its income statement to foreign exchange rate variations.

b) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges in loans borrowings obtained as a result of changes in market interest rate levels.

The Company relies on external financing to fund its activity and it is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of its borrowings are indexed to market interest rates.

In the more significant long term loans the Company relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk on these loans. The amounts, interest due dates and repayment schedules of the interest rate derivatives are identical to those of the loans they hedge and, as such, these derivatives are considered perfect hedges.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk reflects the prospect of the Company not satisfying its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.

The Company seeks to ensure that the structure of its funding matches the nature of its obligations. Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded by long term financing (equity and long term loans), whilst short term obligations are funded through short term loans. Long term loans are usually arranged for periods ranging from 5 to 7 years, mostly with a grace period in respect of the start of the principal's repayment schedule ranging from 1 to 2 years.

Liquidity risk is more fully described in Note 18.

d) Credit risk

The Company's credit risk results fundamentally from its relationship with financial institutions, occurring within the scope of its normal activity, associated with the potential default, by the financial institutions, with which it has contracted, in the regular course of business, term deposits, current accounts and derivatives.

To mitigate this risk, the Company diversifies its counterparties, to avoid an excessive concentration of credit risk, and privileges the contracting of less complex financial instruments in detriment of instruments which structure is not fully known.

5. PROVISIONS AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES

Provisions and impairment losses for the periods ended 31 December 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Impairment losses in accounts receivables (losses/reversals)
826,362
-
Impairment losses in financial assets (Note 12)
21,680,643
65,776,190

At the end of 2011, impairment losses on shares held in Martifer Renewables, SGPS, SA, amounting to Euro 18 million, were recorded, resulting from the impairment test performed on that asset. The reinforcement of the impairment loss for the year is mainly due to the negative net profit recorded by that subsidiary, resulting from the strong financial costs incurred, from impairment losses in certain subsidiaries and provisions for liabilities and charges. On the other hand it also reflects the loss on sale of shares in IWP Sp.zoo Wind Energy and Bukowsko Sp.Z.o.o. (Wind farms Leki Dukielskie and Bukowsko) that occurred in September 2011.

Also at the end of 2010, impairment losses had been recorded on shares held in Martifer Renewables, SGPS, SA, reflecting the incorporation, in the future prospects of the projects underway, of the recent behavioural changes in the global financial markets, particularly in respect of projects in the USA, Poland, Romania and Australia.

In addition, the following impairment losses were recorded in 2011: Euro 2 million for the participation and loans to subsidiary Eviva Hidro, srl, for existing uncertainties about the recoverability of these amounts; Euro 1.6 million for participation in Martifer Inovação e Gestão; and a loss of Euro 0.8 million for the company's accounts receivable from Martifer Renewables Electricity LLC, sold during the first quarter of 2011.

Impairment tests for various financial assets of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Discounted Cash Flow evaluation model (DCF). The values of these evaluations are determined by past performance and the expectation of market development, with future cash-flow projections, for a five year period, being drawn up for each of the businesses, based on medium/long term plans approved by the Board of Directors.

These estimates were made considering a discount rate of 9.27% for Portugal, between 8.74% and 9.30% for Romania, and 9.64% for Brazil, and a perpetual growth rate between 0% and 1% for the various businesses.

8. INCOME TAX

The breakdown of assets and liabilities giving rise to deferred taxes in the periods ended 31 December 2011 and 2010 may be analysed as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Tax losses carried forward 104,196 1,304,196
Fair value of derivatives 29,501 -
133,697 1,304,196

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 PAGE 179

At 31 December 2011, deferred tax assets amounted to Euro 133,697 (2010: Euro 1,304,196), with a negative impact on the income statement of Euro 1,200,000 (2010: negative impact of Euro 750,000). The decrease in the deferred tax asset relates, on one hand, to the utilisation of tax losses carried forward and, on the other hand, to the adjustment considered necessary so that it reflects solely expected future taxable profits against which it can be realized.

As at 31 December 2011, tax losses carried forward amounting to Euro 28,252,238 (Euro 25,646,376 as at 31 December 2010), have not originated deferred tax assets amounting to Euro 7,063,060 (Euro 6,411,594 as at 31 December 2010) for prudential reasons. Unrecognised deferred taxes on tax losses are as follow:

TAX LOSSES

Generated in 2008 25,598,500 2015
From which deferred tax assets are recognized: (416,784) 2015
Generated in 2009 3,070,522 2016
Tax losses carried forward that have not have not originated deferred tax assets 28,252,238

The reconciliation of the income tax charge for the period and the current tax charge may be analysed as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Current tax 33,879 81,798
Under / (over) taxation estimates (3,202) -
Deferred taxes relating to the reversal of timing differences 1,200,000 750,000
Tax charge for the period 1,230,677 831,798
Effective tax rate -5.8% -1.2%

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the reconciliation between the normal and effective rate is as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Net income before taxes (19,997,033) (70,004,740)
Nominal income tax on results (nominal rate 25%) (4,999,258) (17,501,185)
Results not subject to taxation:
Sale of financial investments - 1,997,542
Costs not deductible for tax purposes:
Impairment losses 5,420,161 16,444,047
Provisions not accepted 206,590 -
Other (78,959) -
Results of associated companies accounted for under the equity method
Utilization of tax losses carried forward that did not give rise to deferred tax assets in prior years (190,404)
Tax losses arising in this period in respect of which no deferred tax assets were recognised
Reversal of deferred tax assets in the period 651,466 -
Under / (over) taxation estimates (3,202)
Autonomous taxation 10,114 8,281
Municipality tax 23,765 73,517
Effective tax charge on income 1,230,677 831,798

Martifer SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiaries are subject to corporate income tax (IRC) at the normal rate of 25%, with the first € 12,500 of taxable income being subject to a rate of 12.5%. In addition, a municipal surcharge, in this case of 1.5%, is also applied as is a state surcharge of 2.5% when taxable profits exceed €2,000,000.

In terms of article 88 of the Corporate Tax Code, the company is, additionally, subject to autonomous tax over a number of expenses, at the rates laid down in the said Code.

Since January 2011, Martifer SGPS, SA is covered by the special taxation of groups of companies' mechanism ("RETGS"), which comprises companies in which it holds, directly or indirectly, at least 90% of its capital and meet simultaneously with the other conditions set by that mechanism. The remaining Martifer Group companies, not covered by the special tax mechanism, are taxed individually, based on their taxable profit and at the applicable tax rates.

In accordance with the legislation in force, tax declarations remain subject to review and adjustment by the tax authorities during a period of four years (five years for social security), except when there are tax losses, fiscal benefits were conceded, or inspections, claims or impugnations are underway, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the period is extended or suspended. Consequently, the tax declarations for the years 2007 through 2010 may be subject to review.

The Board of Directors believes that any adjustments resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities will have no significant impact on the financial statements at 31 December 2011.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Martifer SGPS has issued solely ordinary shares so there are no special dividends or voting rights.

Martifer has a single type of potentially dilutive ordinary share: share options. To calculate the diluted earnings per share it is necessary to determine whether these options, regardless of whether they may or not be exercised, have a dilutive effect, which occurs when the option exercise price is lower than the quoted share price.

Considering that Martifer' s quoted share price averaged Euro 1.29 between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, which is lower than the option exercise price (Euro 3.84), the latter can be considered non-dilutive as their exercising would result in a reduction in the ordinary shares in circulation.

Hence, at 31 December 2011 there is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation.

Martifer SGPS SA's share capital is represented by 100,000,000 ordinary shares, totally subscribed and realized, representing a share capital of Euro 50,000,000.

The weighted average number of shares in circulation is reduced in 1,180,942 shares, corresponding to own shares acquired by Martifer SGPS during 2011 and 2010 totalling 1,747,651 shares.

At 31December 2011 and 2010, the calculation of earnings per share, basic and diluted, may be demonstrated as follows:

FY 2011 FY 2010
Net profit for the period (I) (21,227,710) (70,836,538)
Weighted average number of shares in circulation (II) 98,819,058 99,929,092
Earnings per share, basic and diluted (I) / (II) (0.2148) (0.7089)

17. SHARE CAPITAL, RESERVES AND OWN SHARES

Share capital

Martifer SGPS's share capital, fully subscribed and realized at December 31, 2011, amounted to Euro 50,000,000 and is represented by 100,000,000 bearer shares with a par value of 50 cents each. All shares have the same rights, namely one share one vote. During the 2011 and 2010 economic periods there were no changes in the number of shares representing the Company's share capital.

During the 2011 economic period, Martifer SGPS acquired, through the stock exchange, 1,187,410 own shares (2010: 560,241 own shares were acquired). After these acquisitions, Martifer holds 1,747,651 own shares, corresponding to 1.75% of its share capital. In accordance with Portuguese commercial legislation, company is required to keep unavailable a reserve by the same amount as the own shares amount.

Stock options

A stock option plan is in place, under the terms approved at the General Meeting, and applies to some employees as an incentive to create value.

Options attributed will automatically expire whenever an employee ceases being in the service at any of the Group companies.

All the options attributed at 31 December 2011 are considered as being equity settled.

Other changes in equity

Other changes in equity result from the fair value of derivative financial instruments, as explained in Note 20.

Reserves

Share premium

Share premiums correspond to excess amounts gained with the issue of or an increase in share capital. In accordance with Portuguese commercial legislation, the amounts included in this caption must comply with the regime applicable to 'legal reserves', that is, they are not distributable except in the event of liquidation, but they may be used to offset losses, after all the other reserves have been used up, and/or be incorporated in share capital.

Legal reserve

Portuguese commercial legislation establishes that at least 5% of the annual net income must be used to increase the legal reserve until the latter represents at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is non-distributable, except in the event of liquidation, but may be used to offset losses, after all the other reserves have been used up, and/or be incorporated in share capital.

Other reserves

Reserves relating to share options included in this caption amount to Euro 198,980 (2010: Euro 112,495) and reflect the fair value of the services rendered by employees adjusted, at each balance sheet date, by the impact of the review of the original estimate resulting from the recalculation of the number of options considered exercisable.

This caption also includes, a reserve, that is not available, amounting to Euro 2,415,630 (2010: Euro 852,587), related to the own shares amount.

Under Portuguese legislation, the amount of reserves considered distributable is determined based on the Company's individual financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Hence, the only reserves in Martifer SGPS, S.A., that could, by their nature, be considered distributable, are those relating to retained earnings in the amount of Euro 20,217,077. However, at the end of this economic period, these reserves are not available because they are needed to cover the loss.

The liquidation of the remaining funding is expected to occur with the sale of non-core assets by the subsidiaries, which will enable them to restore loans and supplementary capital to the company, namely the sale of wind farms in Romania.

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, this caption includes amounts due to suppliers arising from the Company's operational activity and from the acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets. The Board of Directors believes that the fair value of these balances do not differ significantly from their carrying value and the impact of updating these amounts is not material.

20. DERIVATIVES

At 31 December 2011, an interest rate derivative contract was in force, in order no manage the exposure to movements in interest rates prevailing on a contract financing, setting interest rates.

DERIVATIVE COUNTERPART NOTIONAL TYPE EXPIRY DATE FAIR VALUE
Interest Rate Swap Barclays 14,250,000 Pays fixed rate [1.91%] and receives Euribor 6M 22/11/2013 (111,324)

The fair value of the derivative contracts above has been valued by the counterparties and as these derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges, the fair value has been recorded against an entry in the equity caption 'Fair value reserves – Derivatives'.

Fair value valuation of the derivatives hired by the Martifer, SGPS, SA was performed by the respective financial institutions acting as counterparty. The fair value valuation model used by the counterparty is based on the discounted cash flows, using the swaps par rates, listed in the interbank market, and available on Reuters and/or Bloomberg terminals for the negotiated periods, which are

used to calculate the forward interest rates and discount factors. Then, the present value of the fixed cash flows (fixed leg) and the present value of the variable cash flows (floating leg) is calculated. From the addition of the two legs results the NPV (Net Present Value or discounted value of future cash flows or fair value of derivatives).

21. COMMITMENTS

Financial Guarantees

At 3 December 2011 and 2010, the principal operating guarantees issued by the Company are as follows:

31 DECEMBER 2011 31 DECEMBER 2010

In February 2011, guarantees totalling Euro 40.8 million were cancelled following the signature of the final acceptance certificates of four solar parks in Spain.

Given that the EPC solar park construction contracts require Martifer Solar and/or companies it has shareholdings in to guarantee, amongst others, the quality of the materials and design, photovoltaic installations, the achievement of certain performance and wattage ratios with the photovoltaic modules, Martifer SGPS undertook to provide Martifer Solar and/or companies it has shareholdings in with the means necessary to guarantee full compliance with contractual obligations.

Martifer Solar is presently considered to have the capacity to support its own commitments without recourse to the Holding Company.

Pledges or Mortgages

At 31 December 2011 the collateral given by the Company may be summarized as follows:

COMPANY GUARANTEE ASSET VALUE DEBT AMOUNT
Martifer SGPS Share pledge of Martifer Solar SA 37,500,000 24,609,375

22. RETIREMENT PENSION COMPLEMENT

The Company has not assumed any responsibilities in respect of pension plans. However, an insurance policy contracted with Companhia de Seguros Global', that functions as a capitalization fund, provides a retirement pension complement to the Group's employees.

This policy covers all employees with a permanent employment contract. Annually, whenever the Board of Directors so determines, a cash contribution equivalent to a month's salary per employee is paid into the fund. The right to receive such benefit can only be exercised at the retirement date, at which time the employee can opt between transforming the fund into a monthly pension or alternatively, receive 50% up front and the rest as a monthly pension.

INTRODUCTION

  1. We examined the consolidated financial statements of MARTIFER - SGPS, S.A., which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position on the thirty first of December of two thousand and eleven (showing a total of 1,037,833,335 euros and a total equity of 283,316,635 euros, including a negative net profit of 49,600,348 euros), the consolidated statements of results, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and the corresponding notes.

RESPONSABILITIES

    1. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to prepare the single management report and the consolidated financial statements, which present a true and fair view of the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results and the comprehensive income of their operations, the changes in consolidated equity and their consolidated cash flows, as well as to adopt the adequate accounting criteria and policies and to maintain appropriate internal control systems.
    1. Our responsibility is to express our professional and independent opinion, based on our auditing of the above mentioned financial statements.

SCOPE

    1. Our auditing has been carried out in accordance with the Technical Standards and Auditing Guidelines ("Normas Técnicas e Directrizes de Revisão/Auditoria") issued by the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors ("Ordem dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas"), which require that the auditing is planned and performed with the objective of obtaining an acceptable degree of assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of materially relevant distortions. To this end, the auditing included the following:
  • the verification that the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation have been appropriately examined and, for the significant cases where this has not been carried out, the verification on a sampling basis of the amounts and disclosures contained therein as well as the evaluation of the estimates used in their preparation, based on judgements and criteria defined by the Board of Directors;
  • the verification of the consolidation procedures and the application of the equity method;
  • the appraisal of the adequacy of the accounting policies adopted, of their uniform application, and of their disclosure, taking into account the circumstances;
  • the verification of the applicability of the going concern assumption;

  • and the appraisal of the adequacy, in overall terms, of the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

    1. Our auditing has also included the verification of the concordance of the information included in the single management report with that shown in the remaining reporting documents, as well as the provided certifications in numbers 4 and 5 of the article 451.º of the Commercial Societies Code ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais").
    1. We consider that our auditing provides an acceptable supporting basis for the formation of our opinion.

OPINION

  1. In our opinion, the referred consolidated financial statements truly and fairly present, in all materially relevant aspects, the consolidated financial situation of MARTIFER - SGPS, S.A. on the thirty first of December of two thousand and eleven, the consolidated results and the comprehensive income of its operations, the changes in equity and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS )as adopted in the European Union.

ENPHASIS

  1. Without affecting the opinion expressed in the previous paragraph we draw attention to the fact that, as mentioned in Note 1, the Group has changed the consolidation method of financial interests that it has in joint controlled entities from the proportional consolidated method to the equity method. As a result of this change the consolidated financial statements for the year 2010 were restated for the sake of comparability, having been disclosed in the referred Note 1 the respective effects.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

  1. It is also our opinion that the information included in the single management report agrees with the financial statements and the corporate governance report includes all required elements provided in article nº 245-A of the Securities Market Code ("Código dos Valores Mobiliários").
