"We are satisfied with the progression of our different business lines in the first semester: Oi has performed solidly in a complicated economic environment in Brazil. The Company is successfully growing its added value services across businesses, bringing strict cost analysis criteria and implementing strict rules to Capex. At PHAROL Holding level, the externalisation of services and the strict cost containment criteria are bringing substantial savings to our cost structure.
I am confident to see an adequate progression in all key dimensions in the second semester of the year.
PHAROL remains fully immersed in the continuous evaluation of our strategic alternatives to optimize Oi and Rio Forte assets to determine the best options to improve remuneration to Company Shareholders. Contributing, as Shareholder, to a consolidation process, in Brazil, will remain our top priority."

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
"PHAROL", "Group PHAROL", "Group" and "Company" is a reference to the companies that are part of PHAROL SGPS, S.A. or to one of them, depending on the context.
As of 31 December 2014, following the capital increase of Oi S.A. ("Oi"), concluded on 5 May 2014 (the "Oi Capital Increase "), PHAROL held a 39.7% direct and indirect stake in Oi. This included a portion classified as a non-current asset held for sale (Note 12), in connection with the Exchange agreement ("Exchange") entered into on 8 September, 2014 and completed on 30 March, 2015, and the remaining stake of 22.8% classified as investment in joint ventures (Note 13) and therefore accounted for using the equity method.
On 30 March, 2015, the Exchange was completed, whereby PHAROL (1) transferred to Portugal Telecom International Finance, B.V. ("PT Finance"), a subsidiary of Oi, an aggregate amount of 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi, and (2) received from PT Finance debt securities of Rio Forte Investments S.A. ("Rio Forte") with a nominal value of Euro 897 million and a call option on the transferred shares ("Call Option").
After the completion of the Exchange, PHAROL holds (1) an effective stake of 27.5% in Oi corresponding to the 22.8% stake referred above plus 4.7% due to the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Oi, (2) the debt securities of Rio Forte with nominal value of Euro 897 million, and (3) the Call Option on 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi with an exercise price of R\$20.104 per common share and R\$18.529 per preferred share and with a 6-year maturity. The Call Option has partial expiration dates throughout the period so the option volume is reduced by 10% at the end of the first year and by 18% per year thereafter.
The relevant agreements for the implementation of the New Structure of Oi, further described in detail in the next chapter, were signed on 22 July, 2015. Subsequently, a General Meeting of Shareholders of Oi to approve the New Structure was called, and will be held on 1 September, 2015. After the execution of the New Structure, but prior to the voluntary conversion of preferred shares to ordinary shares of Oi, PHAROL will hold, directly or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries, 84,167,978 ordinary shares and 108,016,749 preferred shares of Oi. PHAROL's voting rights in Oi will be limited to 15% of the total ordinary shares of Oi, as per the changes to be introduced in Oi's bylaws.
In 1H15, the consolidated net loss amounting to Euro 14 million, mainly reflects (1) the Euro 13 million gain corresponding to (a) the effective interest of PHAROL (22.8% up to 30 March, 2015 and 27.5% up to 30 June 2015) in the R\$224 million 1H15 Oi net income, and (b) a loss of Euro 10 million corresponding to the impact of the increase in PHAROL's effective stake in Oi from 22.8% to 27.5% related to the completion of the Exchange, which occurred on 30 March, 2015, which reflects the negative change in Oi's shareholders equity between 4Q14 and 1Q15, which was more than offset by (2)
| the Euro 9 million 1H15 consolidated operational costs, which included non recurring financial and legal services, and (3) a 17 million loss relative to the reduction in the fair value of the Call Option during the |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2Q15, associated with the Real devaluation and the Oi share price reduction (registered in net losses on | ||||
| financial assets and other investments and other net financial losses). | ||||
| The net income in 2Q15 reached Euro 29 million and was positively affected by the accounting impacts in | ||||
| Oi's results of R\$1.1 billion related to results from the discontinued operations of PT Portugal. This figure | ||||
| includes the positive effect related to foreign exchange gains/(losses) over PT Portugal's book value, | ||||
| which was registered in shareholders' equity at that time. With the completion of the PT Portugal sale in | ||||
| 2Q15, this amount was reclassified to net results from discontinued operations, together with expenses | ||||
| associated to the sale. | ||||

Consolidated operating costs amounted to Euro 9.0 million in 1H15 compared to Euro 12.8 million in 1H14, a decrease explained by lower personnel costs due to lower variable remunerations. This effect was partially offset by higher third party expenses mainly related to non recurring financial and legal services associated with the Business Combination with Oi and the tender offer that PHAROL was subject to.
Interest income amounted to Euro 0.3 million in 1H15 compared to Euro 10.5 million in 1H14. Interest income in 1H14 mainly reflects cash amounts at Bratel Brasil that were used in 5 May 2014, under the Business Combination's scope, to subscribe debentures (convertible into equity) issued by the controlling holding companies of Oi, where Bratel Brasil held a stake.
Gains in joint ventures amounted to Euro 13.3 million in 1H15, which compares to a Euro 57.8 million loss in 1H14, corresponding to the effective share of PHAROL in Oi and its controlling holding companies results, based on the equity method of accounting. Gains recorded in 1H15 reflect (1) a gain of Euro 24 million corresponding to PHAROL's effective stake (22.8% up to 30 March 2015 and 27.5% up to 30 June 2015) in the net income recorded by Oi in 1H15, and (2) a loss of Euro 10 million corresponding to the impact of the increase in PHAROL's effective stake in Oi from 22.8% to 27.5% related to the completion of the Exchange, which occurred on 30 March 2015, which reflects the negative change in Oi's shareholders' equity between 4Q14 and 1Q15. Oi's 1H15 net income was positively affected by the accounting impacts of R\$1.1 billion related to results from the discontinued operations of PT Portugal. This figure includes the positive effect related to foreign exchange gains/(losses) over PT Portugal's book value, which was registered in shareholders' equity at that time. With the completion of the PT Portugal sale in 2Q15, this amount was reclassified to net results from discontinued operations, together with expenses associated to the sale.
The losses recorded in 1H14, amounting to Euro 57.8 million, reflect (1) a loss of Euro 32 million corresponding to PHAROL's effective share in Oi's 1H14 net income, and (2) a loss of Euro 27 million corresponding to PHAROL's effective stake in the net losses of the controlling holding companies of Oi, which mainly reflect interest expenses incurred by these entities associated with their gross debt at the time, which was fully repaid on 5 May, 2014.
The Euro 17.9 million losses in net losses on financial assets and other investments and net other financial losses mainly reflect the reduction in the fair value of the Call Option during 2Q15, associated with the Brazil real devaluation and the Oi share price reduction.
Net income from discontinued operations amounted to Euro 470.7 million in 1H14 and includes the income from businesses contributed to the Oi Capital Increase on 5 May, 2014. This mainly reflects a gain recorded in the capital increase of Oi, totaling Euro 699 million, partially offset by the write-off of deferred tax assets relating to reportable tax losses, amounting to Euro 208 million, recorded on the same day due to the discontinuation of businesses in Portugal that supported the recognition of these deferred tax assets.
The result attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 13.6 million in 1H14, primarily reflecting the minority stake in the Africa businesses in 2014 until May 5, 2014, when they were contributed to the capital increase of Oi.
Net loss amounted to Euro 14.2 million in 1H15 compared to a Euro 390.2 million gain in 1H14. In 1H15 the net loss mainly reflects the gain corresponding to the effective interest of PHAROL in the R\$224 million 1H15 Oi net income, net of the loss related to the completion of the Exchange, which was more
than offset by the consolidated operational costs and the reduction during 2Q15 of the fair value of the Call Option.
| Call Option. | ||

| The 1H14 net income mainly reflects (1) the gain recorded in the capital increase of Oi, as explained | ||
| above, and (2) losses in joint ventures registered according to the equity method. | ||
| The net income in 2Q15 reached Euro 29 million and was positively affected by the accounting impacts in | ||
| Oi's results of R\$1.1 billion related to results from the discontinued operations of PT Portugal. This figure | ||
| includes the positive effect related to exchange variation gains over PT Portugal's book value, which was | ||
| registered on the shareholders' equity at that time. With the completion of PT Portugal sale in 2Q15, this | ||
| amount was reclassified to net results from discontinued operations, together with expenses associated | ||

Net cash position net of gross debt, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and taxes payable was Euro 60.9 million and Euro 71.6 million in 30 June, 2015 and 31 December, 2014, respectively. The reduction during 1H15 was impacted by third party expenses mainly related to non recurring financial and legal services associated with the Business Combination with Oi and the tender offer that PHAROL was subject to.
Investments in joint ventures mainly correspond to PHAROL's effective stake in Oi (1) of 22.8% on 31 December, 2014, which was impacted by the classification of a portion of the investment as non-current assets held for sale under the Exchange, and (2) of 27.5% on 30 June, 2015, reflecting the share gain compared to 31 December, 2014 due to the decrease in outstanding shares of Oi after the completion of the Exchange. On 30 June, 2015 and 31 December, 2014, PHAROL's investment in joint ventures in Oi corresponded to a total investment of Euro 712 million and Euro 693 million, respectively, a Euro 19 million increase mainly explained by the share gain as referred to above and Oi's 1H15 net income. This effect more than compensated the depreciation of the Real in 1H15, and PHAROL's effective participation in Oi from 22.8% to 27.5%, as a consequence of the reduction in outstanding shares of Oi after the completion of the Exchange. In addition to the effective stake in Oi, this line item also reflects PHAROL's effective stake in the controlling holding companies of Oi, amounting to Euro 19 million on 30 June, 2015 and Euro 21 million on 31 December, 2014. Investments in joint ventures are measured using the equity method of accounting.
Non-current assets held for sale as of 31 December, 2014 correspond to the fair value of Oi shares in connection with the Exchange entered into with Oi. The fair value of these shares was based on the Oi share price as of 31 December, 2014.
Other assets at 30 June 2015, amounting to Euro 203 million, mainly correspond to the fair value of assets received on 30 March, 2015 in connection with the Exchange including (1) Euro 135 million related to the estimated fair value of debt instruments issued by Rio Forte, the nominal value of which amounts to Euro 897 million, and (2) Euro 68 million related to the fair value of the Call Option.
Provisions on 31 December, 2014 include an amount of Euro 27 million related to the financial impact of the Exchange. This provision included (1) Euro 168 million related to the difference between the accounting value of the shares to be exchanged and the fair value of assets to be received, (2) net of an amount of Euro 141 million (Note 17) corresponding to the estimated gain of the increase in PHAROL's effective participation in Oi from 22.8% to 27.5%, as a consequence of the reduction in outstanding shares of Oi after the completion of the Exchange.
Shareholders' equity amounted to Euro 1,000 million on 30 June, 2015 compared to Euro 1,153 million on 31 December, 2014, a decrease of Euro 152 million, mainly reflecting (1) the negative net income of Euro 14 million recorded in 1H15, and (2) the effective participation of PHAROL in the net losses recorded by Oi directly in its shareholders equity during 1H15, which mainly reflect the reversal, at the time of the sale, of the positive foreign currency translation adjustments since May 2014, in the amount of Euro 131 million, related to the change in value of the stake in PT Portugal.
In a difficult macro-economic environment, once again Oi has delivered results consistent with its commitment to the market. Oi reiterates its 2015 guidance of routine EBITDA of R\$7.0 to 7.4 billion and Operating Cash flow ("OCF") improvement of R\$ 1.2 to 1.8 billion, both for Brazilian operations.
In 2Q15, Oi increased its routine EBITDA of Brazilian operations by +10.7% y.o.y to deliver EBITDA of R\$1,816 million. This result is the product of their ongoing business transformation. Despite inflation of 8.9% in 2Q15 (higher than the 8.1% in 1Q15) Oi reduced Brazilian operations opex by 10.5% y.o.y. in the quarter, an acceleration of cost reduction versus 1Q15. Operating costs and expenses reached R\$4,739 million in 2Q15, resulting in an EBITDA margin of Brazilian operations of 27.7%, an expansion versus last year of 4.1 p.p. (2Q14). Oi is confident that there are still great opportunities ahead.
In Brazil, routine EBITDA minus Capex reached R\$775 million in the quarter, an increase of 198% over the same quarter last year, as a result of EBITDA growth, business transformation and increased focus on investment efficiency. In this quarter, Capex in Brazil was R\$1,041 million (-24.5% y.o.y), of which 88% was allocated for improvement and expansion of the network. Their largest and most important infrastructure projects are coming in ahead of schedule and below budget despite current challenging conditions. As a result, Oi is not only reducing capex but also delivering objective network improvements. In wireless, data drop rates have declined by 1.3 p.p. y.o.y, while data traffic has increased by 20% in 2G and by 67% in 3G. In fixed broadband, average delivery speeds have increased by 21.4% y.o.y. and this month Oi will launch a VDSL service.
Total net revenues in Brazil reached R\$6,555 million (-5.5% y.o.y), mainly impacted by the MTR decline and the reduction in handset revenues. In April, Oi outsourced its handset operations, generating a negative impact of approximately R\$140 million in handset revenues in the mobility segment. It is important to highlight that, on the other hand, this change will lead to higher margins and better working capital.
Net service revenues, which excludes handset revenues, reached R\$6,486 million, a fall of 3.3% y.oy., mainly impacted by lower interconnection tariffs (MTR) in mobile and the more challenging macroeconomic environment, especially in the Corporate / SMEs segment.
Net revenues in the Residential segment reached R\$2,460 million, -2.4% y.o.y, a stable trend from the previous quarter, driven by broadband and pay TV revenues (+8.0% e +50.9%, respectively), as a result of new offers, better sales mix, and a continued focus on bundled offers and upselling. This focus on profitability resulted in another quarter of ARPU growth in all products, making residential ARPU accelerate growth and reach R\$78.5 (+ 6.2% y.o.y) in the quarter.
In Personal Mobility, net customer revenues (excluding MTR and handset revenues) totaled R\$1,757 million, +3.5% y.o.y, due to the 2.7% growth in prepaid recharges combined with the 7.4% annual increase in the postpaid ARPU (ex-MTR), both driven by the data usage growth. Data revenue growth of 51% continues to underpin success. Oi has increased its smartphone penetration and the migration of customers to its 3G and 4G network, improving customers´ service and experience. As a result, data revenues represented 40% of total customer revenues for 2Q15.
Routine operating cash flow remained stable in the quarter. Net debt increased to R\$34,644 million, mainly affected by the annual 3G license payment, the bi-annual payment of the concession fee and financial expenses. In the second half cash burn is expected to be lower as one offs from 1H15 do not recur. Oi has begun its liability management program in the wake of the sale of PT Portugal and is focused on continuing asset sales, reduction of financial expenses, extension of maturities and strengthening the balance sheet. 2T15 2T14 1S15 1S14

(2) Consolidated Net Earnings include the discontinuation of the operations of PT Portugal. Net Earnings from Discontinued Operations include the positive effect related to exchange variation gains over PT Portugal's book value, which was registered in shareholders' equity in 4Q14. With the completion of the PT Portugal sale in 2Q15, this amount was reclassified to net results from discontinued operations, together with expenses associated to the sale.
(3) Excludes handset revenues. The handset operations outsourced in this quarter had a negative impact of approximately R\$140 million in handset revenues in the Personal Mobility segment.
(4) Includes: subscriptions, outgoing calls, mobile long distance, roaming and value added services.
Following the memorandum of understanding, disclosed in a timely manner to the market on 2 October, 2013 ("Memorandum of Understanding"), PHAROL, Oi and the major shareholders of both companies announced their intention to proceed with a business combination of PHAROL and Oi (the "Business Combination") merging them into a single listed entity under Brazilian law, it having been decided that such company would be Telemar Participações, S.A. ("TmarPart").
The Business Combination, as initially envisioned, involved three main phases:
surviving entity of the above referenced transactions, would be listed on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA, on the regulated market NYSE Euronext Lisbon ("Euronext Lisbon") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
The transaction was agreed to, and its execution was delegated to the management of both companies (which included common members amongst themselves, by virtue of the reciprocal stake the companies held in the share capital of each other), subject to the approval at a general shareholders meeting. In the specific case of PHAROL, the first and third stages were subject to approval at a general shareholders meeting.
As part of the process leading to the Business Combination, the Oi Capital Increase was carried out, and as planned, part of the newly issued shares of Oi were subscribed by PHAROL and paid by means of a contribution in kind corresponding to all of the shares held by PHAROL in PT Portugal SGPS, S.A. ("PT Portugal"), a company that then owned all of the operating assets of the business of the companies of the PHAROL group (with the exception of shares directly or indirectly held in Oi, Contax and Bratel) and the respective liabilities at the date of its contribution ("PT Assets"). The PT Assets were contributed at a value based on a proposal by the Oi Board of Directors at a general shareholders' meeting of Oi, supported by an appraisal report conducted by an independent company - Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., hired for such purpose by Oi - in accordance with applicable Brazilian law. The report was approved at a general shareholders meeting of Oi, held on 27 March, 2014.
As mentioned above, PHAROL's participation in the Oi Capital Increase, given the importance of the matter, was submitted to approval by a meeting of PHAROL's general shareholders.
On 27 March, 2014, the shareholders of Oi approved the appraisal report referred to above and the contribution of PT Assets to Oi, valued at R\$5,709.9 million - corresponding to the equivalent of Euro 1,750 million, applying the real to Euro exchange rate on 20 February 2014 (i.e., 3.2628 reais per Euro), as provided for in previous agreements - an amount which the shareholders of PHAROL, at a meeting also held on 27 March, 2014, approved for the contribution of such PT Assets in connection with the Oi Capital Increase.
On 5 May, 2014, the Oi Capital Increase was settled, with PHAROL subscribing to 1,045,803,934 common shares and 1,720,252,731 preferred shares, which represented the share capital of Oi received in return for the contribution in kind of the entire share ownership of PT Portugal, holder of the PT Assets. As a result, PHAROL came to hold on such date, as its only significant asset, a direct and indirect stake of 39.7% in the share capital of Oi, comprising a stake of 39.0% of the voting share capital (excluding the indirect stake held by TmarPart, AG Telecom and LF Tel in Oi).
Among the PT Assets, contributed in connection with the Oi Capital Increase, was a creditor position on Rio Forte – a company in the Espírito Santo Group ("GES") – which corresponded to short-term investments subscribed or acquired by two entities that were at the time, wholly owned subsidiaries of PHAROL - namely PT Portugal and PT Finance - with a par value of Euro 897 million, identified as the "Rio Forte Investments."
The TmarPart shareholder agreements ("TmarPart Shareholders Agreements") were in effect as of 30 June, 2015, having been entered into or amended on 25 January, 2011, 19 February, 2014 and 8 September, 2014, the quorums laid down in the agreements having been adjusted to take into account the percentage of stakes held by AG Telecom, LF Tel, by BNDES Participações S.A. - BNDESPAR ("BNDESPAR"), the Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil ("PREVI"), the Fundação Atlântico de Seguridade Social ("FATL"), Fundação Petrobras de Seguridade Social – PETROS ("PETROS"), the Fundação dos Economiários Federais – FUNCEF ("FUNCEF") and Bratel Brasil, to ensure that the voting rights of these shareholders will be identical to those held on 19 February, 2014, and provided that such shareholders have not reduced their respective stakes through the sale of shares to third parties who are not original signatories of the Global Shareholders Agreement (as defined below) or their related parties.
The TmarPart Shareholders Agreements comprise (a) a general shareholders' agreement, signed by all of the shareholders of TmarPart - AG Telecom, LF Tel, FATL, Bratel Brasil, BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS and FUNCEF - as parties, and by TmarPart and PHAROL, as intervening parties ("Global Shareholders Agreement") and (b) a shareholders agreement entered into only by AG Telecom, LF Tel and FATL as parties and by TmarPart as an intervening party ("Group Control Shareholders Agreement").
These agreements were terminated on 30 June, 2015 after the general shareholders meeting of Oi relative to the implementation of the New Structure was called. The agreements will become effective again should the New Structure fail to be implemented, within 32 days of the date in which the mentioned general shareholders meeting was called.
The TmarPart Shareholders Agreements provide for the following relevant rights and obligations:
(i) The initial period of the Global Shareholders Agreement expires on 25 April, 2048, or on the date on which the last concession or authorization to lapse, held by TmarPart or any of its subsidiaries, expires, whichever is later, subject to the agreement of the parties of the Global Shareholders Agreement. The duration of the Global Shareholders Agreement may be extended for successive ten year periods with the consent of all of the respective parties.
k. BNDESPAR, PREVI, PETROS and FUNCEF hold the right to together appoint a member of the Audit Committee of TmarPart, when functioning, and of each of the controlled subsidiaries; and
l. AG Telecom, LF Tel, BNDESPAR, Bratel Brasil, FATL, PREVI, FUNCEF and PETROS will hold prior meetings before shareholder meetings and the Board of Directors of TmarPart and the controlled subsidiaries, and will exercise their voting rights at TmarPart and the controlled subsidiaries and instruct their representatives on these Boards of Directors to vote, in accordance with the decisions made at previous meetings. Said parties may not exercise their votes, including the shares held directly in Oi and other relevant subsidiaries, to prevent the approval of matters previously approved at a prior meeting held under this Shareholders Agreement.
(i) The initial period of the Group Control Shareholders Agreement expires on 25 April, 2048 and may be extended for successive ten year periods with the consent of all of the respective parties.
On 28 July, 2014, following the default by Rio Forte, PHAROL and Oi announced that they had reached an agreement on the definitive terms of the main agreements to be signed following a new Memorandum of Understanding announced on 16 July, 2014. The main terms of these contracts established that:
PHAROL could only acquire shares of Oi or TmarPart through the exercise of the Call Option;
The Call Option would be canceled if (i) the bylaws of PHAROL were to be voluntarily altered to remove the 10% voting limitation, (ii) PHAROL were to act as a competitor of Oi, or (iii) PHAROL were to violate certain obligations arising from the definitive documentation, and
The terms of the agreements also included an alternative agreement to the previously announced merger of PHAROL by TmarPart, in order to achieve the following objectives:
The terms of the agreements, as described above, were approved on 8 September, 2014 at the general shareholders meeting of PHAROL, and the definitive agreements were signed on the same day. Implementation of the Exchange was in the meanwhile approved by the CVM.
On 24 March, 2015, PHAROL entered into an agreement with Oi, PT Portugal, PT Finance and TmarPart - Private Agreement for the Assignment of Rights and Obligations ("Assignment Agreement"), by means of which PT Portugal transferred to PT Finance the Rio Forte debt securities held by PT Portugal, and ceded to PT Finance all pertaining rights and obligations in connection with the Exchange Agreement ("Assignment"). The Assignment Agreement also stipulated that the delivery of the Exchange Shares could be implemented by means of the transfer, by PHAROL, of the Exchange Shares, or American Depositary Shares ("ADS") of Oi, representative of the Exchange Shares, at PHAROL's criteria. Oi's ADR Program is regulated by (1) the Depositary Agreement (Ordinary Shares), signed on 17 February, 2012, as amended, between Oi, the Bank of New York Mellon, acting as depositary ("Depositary"), and all periodical holders of ADSs (American Depositary Shares) ("ADSs ON"), issued in the terms of the abovementioned Agreement; and (2) by the Depositary Agreement (Preferential Shares) signed on 27
February, 2012, as amended, between Oi, the Depositary, and all periodical holders of ADSs (American Depositary Shares) ("ADSs PN"), issued in the terms of the abovementioned Agreement.
On 30 March, 2015, the Exchange was concluded, by means of which PHAROL (1) deposited Oi's shares object of the Exchange with the Depositary; and (2) instructed the Depositary to register the transfer of 47,434,872 ADSs ON and 94,869,744 ADSs PN (as a whole, the "Exchange ADSs") to PT Finance, representing Oi's shares object of the Exchange.
Therefore, on 30 March, 2015, PHAROL transferred the Exchange ADSs to PT Finance, and PT Finance transferred to PHAROL the Rio Forte Investments in the total nominal amount of 897 million Euros.
On 30 March, 2015, the Call Option was in force and effective.
Negotiations between PHAROL and the major remaining shareholders of Oi were concluded on 31 March, 2015. Such negotiations were aimed at defining a new agreement between the parties concerning the Oi corporate structure and governance model, given the impossibility of migrating TmarPart to the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBovespa as of 31 March, 2015. The drafting of a new agreement was key to anticipate the main benefits disclosed to shareholders at the time of the Oi Capital Increase, settled on 5 May, 2014. This agreement does not limit the efforts to achieve listing on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA. The parties have agreed to a new corporate structure and governance model for Oi (the "New Structure") which, in addition to the benefits and objectives disclosed following the Memorandum of Understanding, will allow Oi to antecipate a new governance model that will cover the main characteristics of the Novo Mercado, and has the following key features:
agreed to be included in the bylaws of Oi. This limitation will cease to be applicable upon the occurrence of certain events, including a capital increase, a corporate restructuring or a tender offer, which result in a dilution of the existing shareholder base (or the acquisition of shares, as the case may be) greater than 50%; (iii) to further improve liquidity, eliminating the lock-up agreements of all shareholders; (iv) the appointment of a new Board of Directors of Oi, with significant participation of independent members, in which the previous parity in TmarPart between the representatives of PHAROL and of the Brazilian shareholders will remain in force; (v) the extinction of TmarPart, which will be merged into Oi, which will result in the termination of the existing shareholders' agreements, ensuring the dispersion of shareholder control of Oi; and (vi) the possibility of benefiting from financial synergies, through the merger of the controlling companies of Oi, directly and indirectly; and
All these significant alterations to Oi's corporate structure will be submitted for approval at a general shareholders' meeting of Oi and will be implemented as quickly as possible, after approval from Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações Brasileira ("ANATEL").
Considering the completion, on 30 March, 2015, of the Exchange between PHAROL and PT Finance of ordinary and preferential shares of Oi's capital, for Rio Forte Investments ("the Exchange"), the Call Option Agreement, signed on 8 September, 2014 ("Call Option Agreement"), came into effect. An amendment ("Amendment") to the Call Option Agreement was entered into, as was disclosed at the time, which will allow PHAROL to achieve liquidity for its Call Option through a market sale, independent of previous consent from Oi, with Oi having a right of first refusal if PHAROL decides to transfer the Call Option to a third party. The Amendment is subject to approval by a general shareholders meeting of Oi to be convened by 31 August, 2015, occurring until 30 September, 2015, and, if applicable, approval by the CVM, and the primary shareholders of Oi have committed to vote in favor of approving the Amendment.
On 22 July, 2015, PHAROL signed together with Oi and the controlling holding companies of Oi, the relevant documentation for the corporate restructuring, which include all the provisions relevant for the implementation of the New Structure of Oi.
The New Structure was approved by ANATEL and was submitted for approval at a general shareholders meeting of Oi, to be held on 1 September, 2015. The agenda of the general meeting includes:
The election of the Board of Directors of Oi, which will have a mandate that runs until the general shareholders meeting that approves the 2017 financial statements.
As mentioned above, included in the PT Assets contributed by PHAROL in the Oi Capital Increase were short-term investments in commercial paper obligations issued by Rio Forte, and originally subscribed by PHAROL and PT Finance, in the amount of Euro 897 million. The composition of the outstanding amount of the Rio Forte Investments at the time of the Oi Capital Increase on 5 May, 2014 was as follows:
a) On 15 April, 2014, PT Finance subscribed to Euro 647 million in notes issued by Rio Forte, with maturity on 15 July, 2014. The terms and conditions of this transaction defined the notes as unsecured and unsubordinated debt, pari passu in terms of payment with the issuer's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, with a yield of 3.75% per annum. The jurisdiction for dispute resolution was Luxembourg.
b) On 15 April, 2014, PHAROL subscribed to Euro 200 million in notes issued by Rio Forte, with maturity on 15 July, 2014. On 5 May 2014, which were transferred to PT Portugal as part of the process of transferring all assets and liabilities directly held by PHAROL to PT Portugal in preparation for the contribution of PT Portugal in the Oi Capital Increase. These issuances were made through a private placement under the prospectus prepared by the issuer and dated 21 December, 2012, entitled "Eur 1,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme," which was approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. The terms and conditions of this operation defined the notes as senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt, pari passu in terms of payment with the issuer's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, with a yield of 3% per annum. The jurisdiction for dispute resolutions was Luxembourg; and
c) On 17 April, 2014, PT Finance subscribed to Euro 50 million in notes issued by Rio Forte, with maturity on 17 July, 2014. This issuance was made through a private placement under the prospectus prepared by the issuer and dated 21 September, 2012, entitled "Eur 1,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme," which was approved by the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. The terms and conditions of this transaction defined the notes as senior unsecured and unsubordinated debt, pari passu in terms of payment with the issuer's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, with a yield of 3.75% per annum. The jurisdiction for dispute resolutions was Luxembourg.
As a result of the Oi Capital Increase, PT Portugal and PTIF and their rights as creditors under the Rio Forte Investments were contributed by PHAROL. On 15 and 17 July, 2014, Rio Forte defaulted on the Rio Forte Investments held by PT Portugal and PTIF.
On 22 July, 2014, Rio Forte filed for creditor protection/controlled management (gestion contrôlée) under Luxembourg law. Even though it recognized that it did not have the financial capacity to meet its financial commitments, it understood that the best protection for its creditors would be the adoption of this legal regime, a request that was denied by a Luxembourg court on 17 October, 2014. Following this rejection, Rio Forte went into liquidation and was declared bankrupt by the Luxemburg Court on 8 December, 2014. According to the most recent public announcement of the liquidation trustees, the deadline to present claims for this debt was extended and will now end on 30 September, 2015.
As a result of the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Portugal to conduct an independent analysis of the proceedings and acts related to the investments in treasury applications issued by entities of GES, and of an external law firm to prepare an analysis of the liabilities arising out of or in connection with the investments in entities of GES, the Board of Directors of PHAROL decided on 27 May, 2015, to file legal action against the prior external auditor.
On 4 June, 2015, the liquidation trustees of Rio Forte informed that, as a result of the seizure of several Rio Forte' assets, they had suspended the sale of certain securities held by Rio Forte that have Herdade da Comporta as an underlying asset.
On 31 July, 2015, PHAROL's general shareholders' meeting resolved that the Company shall file a liability claim against all members of the Board of Directors, elected for the three-year term of 2012/2014, who have breached legal, fiduciary and/or statutory duties, among others, either by action or by omission, for the damages caused to PHAROL as a consequence and/or related with the investments in debt instruments issued by entities of GES.
According to the shareholders' resolution, PHAROL shall file an indemnity claim, within six months counted as of the resolution of the general shareholders' meeting, against the Board Members that held office during the three-year term of 2012/2014 and that had direct involvement in, or that according to their responsibilities could have prevented, the decisions taken concerning the GES investments.
On 29 January, 2015, the Board of Directors of Oi reported the cancellation of the Shareholders Remuneration Policy for the 2013-2016 fiscal years, a policy that was communicated on 13 August, 2013. In view of the decision made, Oi is only subject to the provisions of Law 6,404/76, and the Company's Bylaws. The canceled policy provided for dividends for the 2013-2016 fiscal years, an estimated amount of R\$500 million, which represented the minimum dividend that met the following objectives: i) payment of dividends corresponding to the greater of 25% of the adjusted net income for the fiscal year, 3% of Net Assets or 6% of the Share Capital; and ii) to ensure equitable payments among the classes of common and preferred shares.
On 9 March, 2015 the Board of Directors of PHAROL approved the delisting of its ADSs from the NYSE. 27 March, 2015 was the last day PHAROL ADSs were traded at the NYSE and the delisting of PHAROL ADSs from trading at the NYSE became effective on 30 March, 2015. After the delisting of ADS from the NYSE, the PHAROL ADSs have traded on the U.S. over-the-counter market and PHAROL shares continue to trade on the Euronext Lisbon. The decision was made after (i) PHAROL has received a letter from the NYSE, dated 6 February, 2015, giving notice that PHAROL was below the continued listing criteria set forth in Section 801.02C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of its ADSs had been less than US\$1.00 over a 30 consecutive trading day period. In light of these factors, and in order to achieve cost savings by eliminating costs associated with maintaining a listing on the NYSE, PHAROL decided to delist the ADSs. PHAROL currently intends to maintain its American Depositary Receipt facility, which will enable investors to retain their ADSs and trade those ADSs in the U.S. overthe-counter market. In addition, PHAROL will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the requirement to file annual reports on Form 20-F and to submit reports on Form 6-K.
Oi's Board of Directors approved on 21 April, 2015 a change to the management structure, thereby creating (i) the Office of Corporate Finance, responsible for the Finance, Investor Relations, M&A and Controllership departments; and (ii) the Office of Financial Administration, responsible for the Supply, Accounting, Financial Services, Property, Logistics, and International Operations departments.
Mr. Flavio Nicolay Guimarães was elected to the position of Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer, assuming responsibility for the Office of Corporate Finance. Mr. Marco Norci Schroeder was elected to the position of Executive Officer, assuming responsibility for the Office of Financial Administration.
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of PHAROL held on 29 May, 2015 approved the following:
Ratification of the approval of the members of the Board of Directors Rolando António Durão Ferreira de Oliveira, Francisco Ravara Cary, Marco Norci Schroeder, Eurico de Jesus Teles Neto, Jorge Telmo Maria Freire Cardoso and João Manuel Pisco de Castro for the remaining of the threeyear period 2012-2014 term office;

After satisfying all of the contractual conditions precedent, the sale by Oi of all shares held in PT Portugal to Altice Portugal, S.A. ("Altice Portugal") occurred on 2 June, 2015, which mainly includes the operations conducted by PT Portugal in Portugal and Hungary.
Altice Portugal disbursed the total amount of Euro 5.789 billion for the acquisition of PT Portugal, of which Euro 4.92 billion were paid in cash to Oi and Euro 869 million were allocated to immediately repay outstanding indebtedness of PT Portugal in Euros. The final purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments to be calculated within the next months as a result of changes in the cash, indebtedness and working capital positions on the closing date.
On 31 July, 2015, PHAROL changed its registered office to Rua Joshua Benoliel, 1, 2C, Edifício Amoreiras Square, 1250 -133, Lisboa. Such change was duly registered in the Portuguese Company Registry ("Conservatória do Registo Comercial").
In addition to the changes approved at the annual general shareholder meeting of PHAROL, the following changes were made to the governing bodies of PHAROL, throughout 1H15:
Designation of a new responsible for investor relations and interaction with the Portuguese Securities and Exchange Commission:
Luís Manuel da Costa de Sousa de Macedo, on 26 January, 2015
The events and circumstances described below could result in a significant or material adverse effect on the financial condition of PHAROL and a corresponding decline in the market price of the ordinary shares of PHAROL or the PHAROL ADSs, as the case may be.
| Relevant Risks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Economic Risks |
Oi's Performance |
The main risk to which the Company is subject derives from Oi's operational and financial performance, notably Oi's ability to generate profits and cash flow and pay dividends. |
| Exchange Rates |
Foreign currency exchange rate risks relate mainly to PHAROL' investments in Oi (Brazil). Any exchange rate fluctuations of the Real against the Euro affect the translation of the results attributable to PHAROL, and therefore impact PHAROL's results and asset position. |
|
| The Company does not have a hedging policy regarding the value of these investments. |
||
| Financial Risks |
Interest Rates | Interest rate risks basically impact the Group's financial expenses and income on floating interest rate debt and cash applications. PHAROL is exposed to this risk primarily in the Euro zone and in Brazil. It is important to point out that, at the end of 1H15, PHAROL has no banking debt. Oi's debt is consolidated under the equity method in PHAROL Financial Statements. Market interest rates also affect discount rates used for purposes of testing impairments as to the Company's various assets. |
| Credit | PHAROL is mainly subject to credit risks in its treasury activities. In order to dilute these risks, in July 2014 the Board of Directors defined a policy for treasury applications. |
|
| Liquidity | These risks may occur if funding sources, such as available cash and credit lines and cash inflows, such as dividend obtained, fail to meet cash outflows, such as paying salaries, suppliers or taxes. In order to mitigate this risk, PHAROL seeks to keep a liquidity position that allows it to settle all its contractual obligations. |
|
| Default by Rio Forte of the reimbursement |
The Rio Forte Instruments currently held by PHAROL following the execution of the Exchange on 30 March 2015 are not secured by assets. Therefore, even if |
| Relevant Risks | ||
|---|---|---|
| of the instruments that PHAROL holds following the execution of the Exchange |
there were any amounts available for the reimbursement of Rio Forte's creditors, PHAROL' right to reimbursement would be shared pro rata with all other unsecured creditors of Rio Forte, and only after reimbursement of all debts to secured creditors. |
|
| Exercise of the call option on Oi's shares |
The value of the Call Option on Oi shares will depend primarily on the market price for Oi ordinary and preferred shares, which price will depend on Oi's performance, including its operations, financial position and business outlook. The Board of Directors of PHAROL monitors closely Oi's business as well as the value of the Call Option for purposes of financial statement recording. |
|
| Court Proceedings |
The Board of Directors subcontracts the risk analysis of court proceedings to external lawyers and consultants, to ascertain, for each claim, their assessment of PHAROL' liability (probable, possible and remote occurrence), the status of the proceedings, the amounts involved, provisioned and paid, and what steps should be taken to defend PHAROL' interests. |
|
| Legal Risks | Disputes or investigations triggered under the Rio Forte Instruments or the Business Combination |
PHAROL may incur in liability under disputes and other future proceedings and incur in legal costs in such disputes or other proceedings, relative to these disputes. Any liability incurred may adversely affect PHAROL' financial position and the capacity to fully implement the Business Combination. On 13 January 2015, PHAROL received a subpoena ("Subpoena") from SEC in relation to a private inquiry demanding that PHAROL deliver documents and other information on several topics, including the Rio Forte Instruments and treasury applications in entities pertaining to GES, the Business Combination between PHAROL and Oi, communications made by PHAROL, internal controls and the investigation conducted by international auditors in relation to the procedures adopted and the actions undertaken by PHAROL in respect of the Rio Forte Instruments and other investments in entities pertaining to GES. On June 1, 2015, PHAROL received a follow-up subpoena from the SEC (together with the first Subpoena, the "Subpoenas") requesting additional information about these and related matters. PHAROL is cooperating |
| Relevant Risks | ||
|---|---|---|
| with SEC in respect of the investigation and the Subpoenas. |
||
| In 2013 PHAROL (former PT SGPS, S.A.) presented its financial statements to several entities and institutions. |
||
| SEC's comments on Form 20-F for 2013 |
In relation to the SEC, the Form 20-F for 2013 is still subject to revision by SEC, which has requested additional information for its analysis. SEC's comments include topics related to the Rio Forte Instruments, the communication of information on related party transactions, communications on the concentration of credit risks, the accounting treatment of the investment in Unitel as of 31 December 2013 and other aspects. SEC's comments may lead to the amendment of PHAROL's consolidated accounts for 2013 and previous years and other disclosures in Form 20-F. PHAROL cannot predict when SEC's revision and comments will end. |
|
| As to the 2013 Form 20-F, the Board of Directors appointed a law firm for purposes of legal advice and follow up of the progress of the procedure. |
||
| PHAROL's General Secretariat has made efforts to respond to SEC's requests as fully and promptly as possible. Additionally, a timeline has been established with the new PHAROL External Auditor for compliance with the reporting periods established both by CMVM and by SEC. |

On 22 July, 2015 the relevant documentation for the implementation of the New Structure of Oi was signed. Subsequently it was approved by ANATEL and has been submitted for approval of the general shareholders meeting of Oi, to be held on 1 September, 2015.
It is the understanding of PHAROL that the agreed measures acknowledge and crystallize PHAROL as a relevant shareholder in the new Oi, and allow for the necessary conditions for the completion and anticipation of the benefits disclosed on Oi's Capital Increase, while maintaining the intention to secure Oi's migration to the Novo Mercado.
Oi has implemented a significant cost reduction and investment optimization program, focused on its investments and opportunities for growth and return. The Brazilian market still has significant opportunities for growth in broadband, Pay TV and mobile data services. PHAROL intends to contribute, in the appropriate forums, to aid Oi in the execution of its turnaround plan and in seeking consolidation opportunities in the Brazilian market, so that Oi can increase its liquidity position, manage its debt and generate returns for its shareholders.
PHAROL will consider which measures to take in order to maximize the settlement of the Rio Forte Instruments. Among the possible scenarios, there is the possibility to trigger legal proceedings against Rio Forte, the relevant related parties and others.
PHAROL will monitor the value of its Call Option on Oi shares and analyze the alternatives that enable the maximization of value either by monetizing the aforementioned instruments, or through its exercise, in order to increase its stake in Oi.

(Amounts stated in Euros, except where otherwise mentioned)
As of 31 December, 2014, following the Oi Capital Increase completed on 5 May, 2014, PHAROL held an effective interest of 39.7% in Oi, including an interest that was classified has a non-current asset held for sale (Note 12) in connection with the Exchange entered into on 8 September, 2014 and completed on 30 March, 2015, and a remaining interest of 22.8% that was classified as an investment in joint ventures (Note 13) and therefore recognized according to the equity method of accounting.
On 30 March, 2015, the Exchange was completed, whereby PHAROL (1) transferred to PT Finance 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi (taking into account the effect of the reverse share split of Oi), and (2) received from PT Finance the Rio Forte Investments, the notional value of which amounts to Euro 897 million, and a Call Option on the above mentioned shares of which the main features are described below.
After the completion of the Exchange, PHAROL holds (1) an effective share of 27.5% in Oi, corresponding to the 22.8% share referred to above plus 4.7% due to the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Oi, (2) the Rio Forte Investments, with nominal value of Euro 897 million, and (3) the Call Option on 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi with an exercise price of R\$20.104 for common shares and R\$18.529 for preferred shares, and with a 6-year maturity. The Call Option has partial expiration dates throughout the period so the option volume is reduced by 10% at the end of the first year and by 18% per year thereafter.
In March, 2015, an amendment of the Call Option Agreement ("Amendment"), executed on 8 September, 2014, was signed, which will allow PHAROL to achieve liquidity for its Call Option through market sales, without requiring Oi approval, provided that Oi has a right of first refusal in case PHAROL decides to sell the Call Option to a third party. The Amendment is subject to the approval of the shareholders' meeting of Oi and, if applicable, to the approval of the Brazilian securities and exchange commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários, or "CVM"). Oi has agreed to issue a call notice for a general meeting of its shareholders to deliberate upon the Amendment on or before 31 August, 2015, to be held on or before 30 September, 2015, and the relevant shareholders of Oi are committed to vote in favor of the approval of the Amendment.
At the end of March, 2015, the parties agreed on a new model of corporate and management structure of Oi ("New Structure"), which apart from the benefits and purposes previously disclosed, has the following features:
On 22 July, 2015 the relevant documentation for the implementation of the New Structure of Oi was signed. Subsequently it has been submitted for approval of the general shareholders meeting of Oi, to be held on 1 September, 2015. After the execution of the Exchange on March 30, 2015, the implementation of the New Structure, but prior to the voluntary conversion of preferred shares to ordinary shares of Oi, PHAROL will hold, directly or indirectly through wholly owned subsidiaries 84,167,978 ordinary shares and 108,016,749 preferred shares of Oi. PHAROL's voting rights in Oi will be limited to 15% of the total ordinary shares of Oi, as per the changes to be introduced in Oi's bylaws.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2014. In addition, further explanations for the main changes of revenues and costs are disclosed in our interim management report, which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.
As mentioned in Note 1, subsequent to 5 May, 2014, PHAROL no longer fully consolidates the majority of the businesses held prior to that date, which were contributed in the Oi share capital increase. The revenues, costs and cash flows of these businesses prior to that date are presented under captions of discontinued operations. As at 30 June, 2014, the indirect and direct stake in Oi, was considered as a non current asset held for distribution to the shareholders, presented at fair value, as foreseen in IFRS 5 – Non-Current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. As at 31 December, 2014, the Company's Board considered that the previous assumptions were no longer applicable, and as such, measurement of the joint venture was applied retroactively in accordance with the equity method, leading to restated Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months period ended 30 June, 2014 (Note 3).
PHAROL restated the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months period ended 30 June, 2014, in respect of income, expenses and equity movements related to applying the equity method to the stake held in Oi.
As at 30 June, 2014, the indirect and direct stake in Oi, was considered as a non current asset held for distribution to the shareholders, presented at fair value, as foreseen in IFRS 5 – Non-Current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.

(ii) On 30 June 2015, weighted average shares outstanding were calculated considering the 896,512,500 issued shares adjusted for 20,640,000 treasury shares. On 31 March 2015, weighted average shares outstanding were calculated considering the 896,512,500 issued shares adjusted for (1) 20,640,000 treasury shares, applicable for all periods presented, and (2) PHAROL's share in its own shares that were acquired by Telemar Norte Leste S.A. in 2011 and 2012, under the strategic partnership between PHAROL and Oi. On 5 May 2014, following the Oi Capital Increase, PHAROL derecognized the related treasury shares held indirectly through the investment in Oi.
On 8 September 2014 (Note 1), PHAROL entered into an Exchange Agreement with Oi, whereby PHAROL agreed to deliver 47,434,872 common shares and 94,869,744 preferred shares of Oi, receiving in return the debt securities of Rio Forte and the Call Option on these shares of Oi (Note 1). Thus, as from that date, those shares were classified as a non-current asset held for sale and measured at fair value based on the quoted price of Oi shares.
The fair value of Oi shares in connection with the Exchange amounted to Euro 388 million as at December 31, 2014 and Euro 239 million on 30 March 2015, the date the Exchange was executed. This transaction did not have any impact on net income given that:
This line item corresponds to investments in joint ventures, including mainly investments in Oi and its controlling holding companies.
On 8 September 2014, as explained above, PHAROL entered into an Exchange Agreement with Oi, for the Exchange of a portion of Oi shares held directly by PHAROL for the Rio Forte Investment and the Call Option. The Exchange was completed on 30 March 2015, after obtaining all necessary approvals. As a result of the Exchange, the portion of the investment in Oi delivered in connection with the Exchange was classified as a non-current asset held for sale and measured at fair value based on the price of Oi shares (Note 12). The remaining interest of 22.8%, including the interests of 15.9% and 3.0% held directly by PHAROL and Bratel Brasil, respectively, and the interest of 3.9% owned indirectly through the controlling holding companies of Oi, remained classified as an investment in joint ventures as at 31 December 2014 and measured according to the equity method of accounting.
As required by IFRS 11, investments in joint ventures were accounted for by the equity method of accounting. The detail of these investments was as follows:

(i) These captions, as explained above, reflect PHAROL's direct share in the earnings of each joint venture, including, in the case of Oi's controlling holding companies, their share of Oi's net income and also the net income generated by these same entities excluding the equity method of accounting of Oi. In 2015, in the case of Oi's controlling shareholders, these captions also include the gains recorded by those holding companies reflecting the increase in their interests held in Oi due to the reduction of Oi's outstanding shares.
(ii) This caption reflects PHAROL's direct share in the earnings of Oi. The breakdown of Oi's earnings and losses used in the equity method accounting are outlined below.
(iii) This caption reflects PHAROL's effective share in the earnings and losses of Oi's controlling holding companies excluding these entities' share in the earnings of Oi, calculated through the equity method of accounting. Thus, this caption relates basically to PHAROL's share in (a) interest expenses of TmarPart, LF and AG relating to the debt these entities held that was repaid on 5 May, 2014, as mentioned above, (b) administrative and other operating costs incurred by TmarPart and (c) the gains recorded by these entities in connection with the Exchange executed on 30 March, 2015, amounting to Euro 22 million, reflecting the increase in those entities' interest in Oi due to the reduction of Oi's outstanding shares.
(iv) This caption corresponds to the gains recorded by PHAROL and Bratel Brasil, totaling Euro 109 million, relating to the increase in the interests held directly in Oi as a result of the reduction in the number of Oi's outstanding shares following the completion of the Exchange. This gain added to the gain of Euro 22 million, recorded by the controlling holding companies of Oi, and referred to above, resulted in a total gain of Euro 131 million.
(v) This cost of Euro 141 million (Note 17) corresponds to the estimated impact recorded on 31 December, 2014 relative to the increase in the interest held in Oi following the completion of the Exchange, which was deducted from the provision for the Exchange. This amount, net
| of the effective gain of Euro 131 million recorded in 2015, as mentioned above, resulted in a | ||||

(i) The y.o.y comparison of these captions were negatively affected by the devaluation of the Real against the Euro and positively by the impact of the consolidation of revenues and operating expenses from operations in Africa in the first half of 2015, which were acquired on 5 May, 2014 through the acquisition of PT Portugal. The explanation for the changes in these captions on a comparable basis is presented below.
(ii) Excluding the effect of the Real devaluation against the Euro and the consolidation of revenues from operations in Africa, Brazilian revenues would have decreased by 0.9% y.o.y , reflecting primarily lower revenues in the (1) Residencial segment (-2.4% y.o.y), (2) Personal (-2.8%), where the increase in subscriber revenues (6.1%) was more than offset by the decrease in interconnection revenues (-37.4%), which were impacted by the MTR reduction, and handset revenues (-17%) as a result of the outsourcing of equipment sales, and (3) Enterprise / SMEs (-3.9%). In the six and three month periods ended 30 June, 2015 and 2014, the breakdown of revenues by customer segment is as follows: 1S15 1S14 2Q15 2Q14 Residential 1,496 1,610 723 822 Personal 1,292 1,396 591 727 Enterprise 1,215 1,329 588 684 Others 173 95 89 74 4,176 4,431 1,991 2,309
| millions of Euros | ||
|---|---|---|
(iii) The decrease in interconnection costs reflects primarily a drop in MTR rates, and lower voice and SMS off-net traffic.
(iv) The decrease in personnel costs reflects the reduction in headcount as well as the adoption of several optimization measures undertaken to increase productivity and efficiency, control of overtime and on-call hours and a more restrictive hiring policy.
(v) The increase in third party service costs, was impacted by the increase in electricity tariffs, and higher expenses with pay TV content and Value Added Services (VAS), resulting from the increase in pay TV subscriber base and in data traffic. Costs associated with sales comissions, travel and call center were reduced reflecting the cost cutting efforts.
(vi) Network maintenance services costs in Brazil increased year on year mainly due to the new contractual terms of network service providers (PSR). This cost line is associated with the quality of services provided to customers, which is also a priority for the Company, despite the focus on cost savings and efficiency gains. The increase in this costs shows that Oi is not sacrifying the operations to deliver short-term results.
(vii) The increase in rentals and insurance was explained by the appreciation of the USD and annual contract adjustments, which impacted operating lease contracts, especially those related to GlobeNet and the SES-6 satellite, an increase in capacity provided by Globenet and the incrase in network infrastructure leasing, as a result of the sale of a slot of mobile towers in December 2014,
(viii) Other net operating expenses in the first semester of 2014 include a gain of R\$1.2 billion (Euro 0.4 billion) related to the sale of mobile towers.
PHAROL recorded its share in the earnings of Oi under the equity method of accounting based on its effective interest during 2015 (22.8% until 30 Marchand 27.5% until 30 June) and 2014 (22.8% since 8 September, 39.7% since 5 May and 23.2% since the beginning of 2014).
Following the completion of the Exchange on 30 March, 2015 (Note 1), PHAROL delivered Oi shares in connection with the Exchange to PT Finance and received debt securities issued by Rio Forte with a nominal value of Euro 897 million and the Call Option for Oi shares. On 30 June, 2015, the fair value of the assets received by PHAROL were assessed at Euro 203 million (Note 12), including (1) Euro 135 million related to the debt instruments issued by Rio Forte, and (2) Euro 68 million related to the value of the Call Option. In 30 June, 2015, Net foreign currency exchange losses and Net losses on financial assets and other investments includes respectively Euro 5.9 million and Euros 11.5 million in accordance with an independent valuation of the Call Option.

On 31 December, 2014, provisions for other risks and costs correspond to a provision of Euro 27 million related to the Exchange entered into with Oi (Note 1), which reflected: (1) a provision of Euro 168 million (Note 12) corresponding to the difference between the carrying value of Oi shares delivered and the fair value of the assets received under the Exchange, (2) net of an amount of Euro 141 million (Note 13) corresponding to the estimated gain 75,858 27,186,177 resulting from the increase in the effective interest in Oi from 22.8% to 27.5% due to the decrease in the number of Oi's outstanding shares after the completion of the Exchange. On 30 March, 2015, following the completion of the Exchange the provision was reversed through profit and loss.
In the first semester of 2014, net cash receipts relate primarily to financial applications of Bratel Brasil up to 5 May, 2014, when it used the proceeds from these applications together with the proceeds from a share capital increase realized by Bratel to subscribe convertible debentures issued by certain entities that directly or indirectly control AG and LF.
In the first semester of 2014 this caption includes mainly the repayment of the liability related to equity swaps on treasury shares following the physical exercise of these contracts on 7 May, 2014, through cash that remained at PHAROL after the Oi share capital increased for that purpose. Following this repayment, PHAROL holds directly 20,640,000 of its own shares and as a result recorded a non-distributable reserve for the acquisition cost of those shares, amounting to Euro 178,071,827. 30 Jun 2015 30 Jun 2014 C ash 5,108 2,000 Demand deposits 1,732,017 353,452 Time deposits 81,000,000 106,055,000 Other bank deposits 2,377,288 3,284,415 85,114,413 109,694,867

Our work also included the verification that the consolidated financial information contained in the Management Report is consistent with the remaining documents referred to above.
We believe that the work performed provides a reasonable basis for the issue of this limited review report on the half year consolidated financial information.
9.1. The Independent auditors' report on the individual and consolidated interim financial information for the period ended June 30, 2015 for the significant component Oi, SA, dated August 12, 2015, includes the following emphasis: "Investment in Unitel, S.A. - The value of the investment in Unitel, S.A., of R\$4,581 million at June 30, 2015 (4,157 million at December 31, 2014), which includes the dividends receivable from this entity in the amount of R\$1,102 million (R\$944 million at December 31, 2014), was determined by Management based on an economic and financial evaluation carried out in order to reflect the best estimate of its fair value. We draw attention to the uncertainties disclosed in Notes 3 and 26 to the interim financial information since the realizable value of this investment depends on the fulfilling of the assumptions made in said assessment and as for the terms of sale of the stake in Unitel, S.A.
