(*) The adjustment to the earnings of the first half of 2007 are a result of the capital gain of 21,1 million euros resulting from the impact of the dilution of the stake in the share capital of REpower Systems AG in the period as a result of a capital increase not subscribed by Martifer and a €7,5Mn cost related to the bid on REpower Systems.

Consolidated revenues reached 372,2 million euros, representing a 78% increase versus the same period last year. This increase is a result of the increased activity in all business areas: in Metallic Construction, the increase in revenues was of 22%, reaching 154,5 million euros, in Energy Systems the revenues grew 227%, reaching 118,4 million euros and in the Agriculture & Biofuels business area revenues reached 101,5 million euros, representing a 90% growth. The revenues from the Electricity Generation business area reached 7,5 million euros, mainly due to the contribution from the wind farms in Germany acquired in 2007.

Metallic Construction represented 42% of consolidated revenues, Energy Systems 32%, Electricity Generation 2% and Agriculture & Biofuels 27%.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and provisions – EBITDA – reached 29,6 million euros, representing a 171% growth versus the same period last year. This growth is due to the better operational results in all business areas. Consolidated EBITDA margin reached 8,0% this period, versus 5,2% in the same period last year.

The 17,7 million euros in earnings before interest and taxes – EBIT – in this period are 153% above the same period last year and the margin was 4,7% of revenues.

Net financial expenses reached 4,3 million euros and represent a 428% increase on an adjusted basis (adjusting the net financial expenses in the fist half of 2007 for the capital gain of 21,1 million euros resulting from a capital increase in

REpower Systems AG not subscribed by Martifer and by a financial cost of 7,5 million euros related to the bid on REpower Systems AG). The larger net financial expenses are mainly a result of the higher level of indebtedness. The Group recorded net interest expenses of 9,8 million euros, which were in part compensated by net favourable currency changes of 3,2 million euros and 2,2 million euros in dividends received from EDP – Energias de Portugal.

As a result, the Group recorded a net profit in the period of 9,7 million euros, representing a 93% growth compared to the same period last year on an adjusted basis. On a reported basis, the net profit fell 48% versus the 18,6 million euros recorded in the first half of 2007.

INVESTMENTS

In the period, the Group invested 79,5 million euros in fixed assets, mainly in investments in the Energy Systems business area, namely to increase capacity in the tower factory, in the wind power components factory, in the turbine assembly unit and in the photovoltaic modules factory, representing an investment of 29,7 million euros. In the promotion and development of wind farms and solar parks, the Electricity Generation business unit invested 26,3 million euros in the period. In the Agriculture & Biofuels business area 16,5 million euros were invested, mainly in land, machinery and in the vegetable oil extraction unit in Romania.

The Group also concluded several financial investments in the period.

In March, the Group increased its stake in the Agriculture & Biofuels business area, through the acquisition of the a 6,5% stake in Prio SGPS SA, for 11,1 million euros, and paid 3,9 million euros for the supplementary capital invested in the company by the selling shareholder.

The Group, through Martifer Energy Systems, following a capital increase raised its stake in Martifer Solar from 55% to 75% representing a 12,7 million euros investment, including conversion of shareholder loans. Other financial investment in the period include the acquisition of Navalria, a shipyard in the port of Aveiro, and the 50% the Group did not own in Solarparks, an associated company that builds solar parks in Spain.

In January 2008, the Group acquired 15.291.383 shares of EDP - Energias de Portugal (EDP) for 60,9 million euros. At the end of June, the Group held 17.695.505 shares of EDP, representing an investment of 80,1 million euros. At the end of the period, at the closing price of EDP shares on 30 June 2008, the value of this stake was 58,7 million euros and a reduction of shareholders equity of 21,4 million euros was recorded through the adjustment of fair value.

INDEBTEDNESS

At the end of June 2008, the Group had a net debt of 428,1 million euros. Comparing with the end of 2007, net debt increased 216 million euros. The increase is due to the above mentioned investments, both in fixed and financial assets, as well as working capital investments.

Attributable to the Group 6,9 5,3 29,2%

In this business area, revenues reached 154,5 million euros representing a 22% growth. This increase is mainly due to the positive performance of the metallic structure activity in Spain and in Central Europe (Poland and Romania). External markets represented 44% of the revenues, against 36% in the first half of 2007.

EBITDA reached 15,9 million euros, representing a 38% growth versus the same period last year. EBITDA margin was 10,3%, versus 9,1% last year in the same period. This growth results from the increase of margin in all geographic locations.

Net financial expenses reached 831 thousand euros, recording a 13% decrease versus the same period last year. The performance is a result of favourable currency changes of 2,3 million euros, resulting from the appreciation of the Polish and Romanian currencies against the Euro, while net interest expenses reached 3,4 million euros and other net financial expenses reached 244 thousand euros.

As a result, net profits of this business area reached 7,7 million euros, a 32% improvement versus the first half of 2007.

During the period, 4,8 million euros were invested in fixed assets, part of which in the conclusion of the investment in the Romanian industrial unit.

The order book at the end of June 2008 in this business area reached 306 million euros. About half of the order book in value is already coming from outside Iberia (mainly Poland and Romania, but also Ireland and Angola).

ENERGY SYSTEMS

In the Energy Systems business area revenues increased 227% to 118,4 million euros. This increase of activity was mainly registered in the second quarter, reflecting the increasing activity in the construction of turnkey wind farms and the contribution from of the turnkey construction of solar parks. The tower factory also recorded higher level of activity in the first half of 2008 as a result of the increase of installed capacity that was finalized in the semester.

EBITDA reached 10,2 million euros, representing a 298% growth versus the same period last year, resulting from the higher level of activity and the improvement of EBITDA margin, that reached 8,6% versus 7,1% recorded in the first half of 2007. The improvement in margin in this business area is mainly a result of the contribution of the turnkey construction activity, both in wind and solar.

Net profit for the period reached 6,5 million euros, of which 1,3 million euros attributable to minorities, mainly in Repower Portugal (50% held by the Group) and Martifer Solar (75% held by the Group).

Investment in this division reached 29,7 million euros in the period, mainly in industrial units. During this period, the increase in installed capacity at the tower factory to 400 towers per year was concluded. Still in the wind power segment, investments were done in the turbine assembly unit and in the components factory, and these units are expected to start up in the last quarter of the year. In the solar segment, construction started on the photovoltaic modules factory, with a 50MW installed capacity, and this unit is also expected to start up in the last quarter of the year.

In the period, the Group increased its stake in Martifer Solar through a capital increase, which represented an investment of 12,7 million euros, including conversion of shareholder loans. Martifer Solar acquired the 50% it did not own in Solarparks, which builds solar parks on a turnkey basis. During this first half of the year Martifer Solar began commercial activities in Italy, Greece, France, Belgium and United States of America.

ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Revenues from the Electricity Generation business unit reached 7,5 million euros, mainly due to the contribution of the wind farms in Germany acquired at the end of 2007.

The production in the German wind farms was of 57.547 MWh and sales of electricity reached 5,0 million euros. EBITDA margin of these wind farms was 78%.

EBITDA of this business area in the period was negative 413 thousand euros, as the current revenue base is insufficient to cover the development costs of the portfolio, the costs related to the increase of portfolio and central costs. Amortizations reached 3,3 million euros, almost exclusively related to the German wind farms.

Net earnings for the period were negative 3,6 million euros.

In this 6 months period, Martifer Renewables invested 26,3 million euros in fixed assets, namely the acquisition of equipments for the wind farms in Central Europe and in the construction of solar photovoltaic parks in Spain.

During the second half of the year several solar photovoltaic parks in Spain with an installed capacity of 6MW should start production. Construction will also begin in the wind farms in Poland and Romania.

AGRICULTURE & BIOFUELS

In the Agriculture & Biofuels business area, in which Prio, the holding company, is 60% held by Martifer, revenues reached 101,5 million euros. This amount is not comparable to the first 6 months of 2007 at which time the revenues were exclusively from the whole sale of fuels. Last year, agriculture activity revenues were only recorded in the second half of the year and the biodiesel factories only started operations in the second half of the year.

In this period revenues came from agriculture, fuel marketing and biodiesel sales. Agriculture revenues were of 18,1 million euros, of which 9,6 million euros from agriculture, mainly production in progress, and 8,5 million euros from the sale of vegetable oil.

The fuel distribution and marketing revenues reached 32,6 million euros. The sales of fuel were of 28,7 cubic meters. At the end of June, the retail network was of 5 Prio branded petrol stations and 11 petrol stations under the agreement with Jerónimo Martins.

Revenues from the sale of biodiesel were of 59,5 million euros. Sales in the period were of 50,7 million tons. Sales of biodiesel were negatively impacted by the delay in the publication of the ISP (fuel tax) exemption for 2008 in Portugal and, in Romania, for the longer than expected negotiations of the 2008 contracts. Globally, sales of biodiesel suffered from the raw material price increase (vegetable oil).

EBITDA reached 5,2 million euros, representing an EBITDA margin of 5,1%. Net earnings for the period were 269 thousand euros.

In this period, this business area invested 16,5 million euros, mainly in the agriculture activity, namely in land, machinery and in the construction of the vegetable oil extraction unit in Romania.

At the end of the period, Prio controlled about 45.640 thousand hectares of land in Romania and Brazil, of which 17,390 thousand hectares are cultivated.

FUTURE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The activities of Martifer Group are conducted under the assumption of continuity of operations and on the basis of maximization of stakeholder value. In order to achieve sustainable growth, Martifer seeks to strengthen its strategic and competitive positions in the business areas it operates in. In these, the Group seeks to take full advantage of growth opportunities, and as such, faces certain risks inherent to these activities. Martifer seeks to identify and prioritize in a timely and correct manner these risks and to act towards reducing the potential impact of said risks on the performance of the Group.

The activity of the Metallic Construction division has not been impaired by the deterioration in the economic environment felt during the year. For the second half, the expectation is that any eventual impact in certain regions will be compensated by the activity in other regions. The economic environment, however, has contributed to longer receivables collection period. At this time, no material uncollectible situations are expected. Another risk area in Metallic Constructions concerns price increases in raw materials, namely steel. The Group considers profitability will not be influenced as selective stock policies are used and the increase in costs tends to be reflected in prices. Finally, this business area registered favourable currency movements of €2,3Mn which may not occur in the second half of the year.

In Energy Systems, the Group expects a significant increase in the activity in the second half mainly due to turnkey wind and solar projects in construction or expected to start until the end of the year. Inherent to this activity is the risk of a delay in the execution of the projects resulting from delays in the reception of equipments or in obtaining the necessary permits on behalf of our clients, which may have an effect on revenues. Additionally, the nature of the turnkey activity may lead to eventual penalties for late delivery regarding construction deadlines or if performance or efficiency ratios are below expectations. Nevertheless, based on the projects in hand, the Group does not expect any material effects in the second half of the year.

In regards to Electricity Generation, given the current market conditions in obtaining wind and solar equipments, sometimes it is necessary to advance payments to suppliers in order to secure equipments, even without having obtained full licensing for the projects. This may result in higher than expected working capital requirements. Even though equipment and turnkey contracts typically include warranties and penalties covering delivery deadlines, delays may result in less attractive tariffs and, consequently, in lower returns. Finally, the Electricity Generation area requires

considerable investments usually employing high leverage. The current market conditions and the increase in interest rates may result in an increase in the required rate of return for certain projects. Nonetheless, Martifer Renewables does not expect any material impact in its activity during the second half of the arising from these risk factors.

In Agriculture & Biofuels, the recent volatility in the price of goods may affect the return of the agriculture activity. Nevertheless, current market prices are above the prices in the beginning of the year and usually a lower margin in this business area implies a better margin in the biofuel activity. In which concerns the sale of biodiesel, both quantities and margin may be affected by the increase in price due to the increase in price of feedstock. This activity has also been impacted by the uncertainty regarding future policies for promoting the use of biodiesel, which may continue in the second half of the year.

The Group held on 30 June 2008 17.695.505 shares of EDP - Energias de Portugal. Given the high volatility witnessed in financial markets, it is uncertain what the share price evolution will be in the coming months.

The decreases verified during the first half ended at 30 June 2008 against the same period in the previous year in the mentioned captions are as follows:

  • 'Interest income': the Group's decrease in cash and cash equivalents is due to the ongoing investment effort;
  • 'Other financial income': in the same period of the previous year, this caption was influenced by the recognition of the non recurring income from its participated company REpower Systems AG, in the amount of 21.101.301 Euro, resulting from the share capital increase by that company not subscribed by the Group in April 2007. As a result of that the share capital held went down from 25,43% to 23,08%;
  • 'Other financial expenses': includes 7.500.000 Euro as a result of an agreement established with Suzlon, which, in case of success of the Tender Acquisition Offer, ruled that the costs incurred by Suzlon with that operation would be partially recharged to the Group.

The increase verified in the first half at 30 June, against the same period at 2007, in the captions 'Interest expenses in bank loans and in finance leases' and 'Other financial expenses related to other financial liabilities', results from the increase in bank loans due to the ongoing investment effort in the first half.

The captions 'Foreign Exchange Gains/ (Losses)' are related to the variations in the exchange rates from the Group's companies, especially in Poland and Romania.

7. Earnings per share

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

There are not any situations in the Group that can represent a reduction in the earnings per share related with options, warrants, convertible bonds or other rights associated to ordinary shares.

Therefore, in 30th of June 2008 and 2007 there are no differences between the Basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share calculation.

  • (ii) Additionally, on May 2007, the share capital was increased in 5,499,700 Euro, through the utilization of reserves which led to the issuance of 10,999,400 new shares with a nominal value of 50 cents.

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

At 30 June 2008 and 2007, the basis and diluted earnings per share can be summarized as follows:
