REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 30 SEPTEMBER 2008

(Translation from the Portuguese Original)

Report of the Board of Directors 3rd Quarter 2008

Note: Unless otherwise stated, comparable figures (presented within brackets), percent or absolute changes mentioned in this report are referred to the comparable period of the previous year for performance figures and to the year end 2007 for financial position figures.

1. Highlights

1.1. Performance in the Period

• Turnover, on a like for like basis, up 4.6% to 143.5 million euro…

…with growth still driven by the good performance in Selfrio Group and the Ferry transport at Tróia (begun in October 2007) despite the decrease in contribution to the top line of asset disposals in the Asset Management division (when compared to the same period last year). Considering the contribution of the Plywood business turnover increased 19% to 163.8 million.

• EBITDA, on a like for like basis, amounted to negative 1.9 million euro…

…reflecting the non-capitalised costs associated with the development, promotion and marketing of Troiaresort. The lower EBITDA level when compared to the same period last year is also attributable to lower real estate asset disposals and the significant overhauling of the Hotels business in Tróia. Considering the contribution of the Plywood business EBITDA was negative 5.3 million euro.

• Profit for the period, on a like for like basis, reached 36.5 million euro…

…impacted by investment income of 59.6 million euro mainly associated with capital gains on the sale of Contacto – Sociedade de Construções, SA and of Choice Car, SGPS, SA. Considering the contribution of the Plywood business net profit was 31.1 million euro.

Like for like figures do not take into consideration the contribution of the Plywood business (3 month contribution in terms of performance figures), which was included on consolidation from 30 June 2008 onwards, as a result of the regain of control by Sonae Capital after the termination of the phased sale agreement of Plysorol, announced in May. During 2007, this business was not consolidated. Like for like comparisons are used consistently throughout the report when applicable.

2. Consolidated Financial Statements Review

2.1. Disclaimer

Given that Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA was incorporated as part of a demerger from Sonae, SGPS, SA, no historical consolidated financial statements exist for the company, since it was exempt from preparing them as a wholly owned affiliate of Sonae, SGPS, SA.

Thus, to ensure comparability of financial data, pro forma financial statements were produced for the year 2007 (profit and loss account for the nine month period ended 30 September 2007 and balance sheet as at 31 December 2007), considering a historical business portfolio equivalent to the current business portfolio of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA.

Therefore, the pro forma consolidated financial statements do not include the contribution of Contacto – Sociedade de Construções, SA sold on 21 February 2008.

Additionally, following last May´s announcement that Sonae Capital is negotiating the termination of the phased disposal agreement of its shareholding in Elmo (Plysorol Group, operating in the Plywood sector) and the ensuing regain of its control by Sonae Capital, the financial position of Sonae Capital as at 30 September 2008 includes the contribution of Elmo and its subsidiaries and the consolidated income statement includes the contribution of this business from the beginning of the second half of the year onwards.

2.2. Profit and Loss Account

Turnover for the first nine months of the year, on a like for like basis, reached 143.5 million euro, a 6.4 million euro increase explained by: i) strong revenue growth in Selfrio Group; ii) ferry transport at Tróia contributed with nine months operations; iii) lower contribution of real estate asset disposals to top line (for details of each business please refer to the specific paragraph in the Business Review chapter). Considering Plysorol, turnover for the period was 163.8 million euro, a 19.4% increase.

Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA Report and Accounts 5

30 September 2008

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA), on a like for like basis, stood at negative 1.9 million euro, a drop of 6.4 million euro reflecting the very early stage of development of Troiaresort (recent conclusion of Central Area and real estate sales not yet materialised) and the revamping of the hotel business in Tróia. Considering Plysorol, operational cash-flow (EBITDA) was negative 5.3 million euro.

Operational profit (on a like for like basis) for the period stood at negative 10.9 million euro a drop of 10.2 million euro also reflecting impairment losses recorded on the first quarter on Others Debtors. Plysorol contributed with an additional negative 4.4 million euro.

Net financial expenses stood at 9.6 million euro (8.3 million euro) a 0.4 million euro increase on a like for like basis and an additional 0.9 million euro from Plysorol.

Investment income for the period reached 59.6 million euro, reflecting mainly capital gains from the following disposals:

  • 46.4 million euro from the sale of Contacto Sociedade de Construções, SA in February;
  • 9.1 million euro from the sale of Choice Car, SGPS, SA in September.

2.3. Balance Sheet

A meaningful assessment of the amount invested in the period, requires a two-fold analysis, complementing the capex figure with the amount recorded as work in progress in real estate companies, for projects under development.

Euro

Over the first nine months growth in turnover still reflects sales of City Flats apartments essentially recorded from the third quarter of 2007 onwards.

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA) for the period reflects the non-capitalized costs of Troiaresort development and marketing.

The third quarter of the year saw the conclusion of the urban upgrading and landscaping works in the Central Area (UNOP 1) of Troiaresort. The works in Aqualuz Tróia Mar (4 star suite apartment hotel) were concluded and the unit was officially opened.

Construction works for the underground parking lots (P1, P3 and P5) were also concluded and the respective permits were

issued by Grândola city authorities.

Resorts

[Beach Apartments - Troiaresort]

The following works are still underway:

  • Conclusion of the Ácala building (residential building comprising 71 units and a retail area that includes a supermarket already opened) in the Central Area;
  • Conclusion of the refurbishment of the Aparthotels Aqualuz Tróia Rio and Tróia Lagoa, also in the Central Area;
  • Urban and landscaping works in the Beach Area (UNOP 2);
  • Construction of the Tróia Village (project comprising 90 semidetached villas for sale) and the 5 showcase villas of the Golf and Beach Village, also in the Beach Area.

The transfer of ownership of the apartment units of Marina and Praia Sado (former Praia I) buildings is already possible since the necessary approvals and licences have been obtained. Up to date data on deeds already signed is available on the sales data table below. The necessary steps to obtain the licenses for Praia Arrábida and Praia Atlântico apartments are underway and are expected soon.

The sales pace of the projects under commercialization (Marina and Beach apartments and Golf and Beach Villa plots) slowed down reflecting the more cautious stance of prospective buyers in the face of the international crisis. Nevertheless, the number of visitors at Troiaresort and at the two sales offices has increased noticeably since the official opening on 8 September.

Hotels

[Aqualuz Lagos Suite Hotel Apartamentos]

The third quarter's milestone was the launch of operations at the Troiaresort, comprising: the inauguration of Aqualuz Tróia Mar, a four star suite apartment hotel with 76 apartments, Wellness Centre & SPA centre and food and beverage area, managed under the brand Aqualuz Suite Hotel Apartamentos; the beginning of operations of Tróia Marina, and; the opening of Troiamarket.

The remaining Aqualuz hotel units in Tróia, Aqualuz Troia Rio and Aqualuz Troia Lagoa, are due to open until the end of 2008, contributing to the appeal of Troiaresort as a new tourism destination in Portugal.

[Aqualuz Tróia Mar Suite Hotel Apartamentos]

Turnover amounted to 10.0 million euro as at 30 September 2008, remaining in line with last year's comparable figure. The main contributor to this figure was Hotel Porto Palácio with 8.6 million euro (8.7 million euro). On a quarterly basis, the third quarter of the year witnessed a decrease of 22.1%, mostly due to the anticipated decrease in the turnover associated with the business area of events and catering of Hotel Porto Palácio, since the third quarter of 2007 was positively impacted by non-recurrent events which took place in Porto.

Nonetheless, operational performance indicators are still positive, confirming the appropriateness of commercial policies adopted and the positioning of Hotel Porto Palácio. Average daily revenue amounted to 103 euro, 10% over that of the first nine months of 2007.

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA), negative 3 million euro, is essentially due to the closure of operations in Tróia during the first 8 months of the year and its pre-(re)opening costs, which contributed with a negative 2.4 million euro. The Boavista complex, considering the expected recurrent decrease of activity in the third quarter, showed a negative 1.2 million euro operational cash-flow (EBITDA) for the nine months ended in September, while the Aqualuz Lagos Suite Hotel Apartment posted a positive operational cash-flow (EBITDA) of 0.6 million euro year to date.

Fitness

Economical and financial indicators evidence the good performance of this business throughout the year. Year to date turnover amounted to 13.3 million euro and operational cash-flow (EBITDA) exceeded 3.5 million euro, both higher than third quarter 2007 figures.

In the third quarter, the temporary closure of two health clubs for improvement and refurbishment works, adversely impacted the quarter's profitability, with operational cash flow (EBITDA) reaching 0.9 million euro (1.0 million euro).

The third quarter of 2008 confirmed the growth of the turnover of Selfrio Group companies reaching 57.3 million euro, a 17.5% increase. This growth was mainly driven by the strong activity of Sistavac (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and related electrical installations) reinforcing the growth of previous quarters and consolidating a 47.1% growth over last year. The performance of the refrigeration and maintenance businesses remained in line with that of 2007.

[Maintenance services]

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA) of Selfrio Group reached 5.3 million euro, increasing 19.6%. Expectations are that this growth will remain in the two digits level by the end of the year. The good performance of the Selfrio Group seen so far will continue and positively impact the target year end figures.

Turnover for the first nine months of 2008 was 71.0 million euro, a 20.0% decrease. The percentage decrease on a quarterly basis was 32.6% reflecting the curtailment of the trading activity (circa 10% of total sales), as part of the business restructuring underway, since it demanded significant funds tied up in working capital. Excluding this effect, activity decreased 28.5%, in line with the sector performance (The Union of Plywood French Manufacturers – www.ufc-contreplaque.com).

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA) for the period was negative 8.1 million euro versus positive 1.0 million euro, reflecting the lag effect of adjusting fixed costs to the reduction in activity.

turnover).

Operational cash-flow (EBITDA) was negatively impacted by:

  • i. The end of operation of Companhia Térmica Lusitana;
  • ii. The lag (of around 6 months) between the increase in fuel prices and the increase in electrical tariffs (in fuel cogeneration units only) and;
  • iii. Some operational problems in two cogeneration units, leading to both margin decrease and increased maintenance costs.

ENEOP investment plan is in line with forecasts with the first wind farm (8 MW) entering operation before the end of year and the wind studies and licensing works being timely accomplished allowing for investment schedule compliance.

3.9. Norscut (36% Sonae Capital)

[Company accounted for using the Equity Method]

3Q 2008 3Q 2007 9M 2008 9M 2007
Turnover 29,478.6 10,951.0 - 72,863.6 17,685.7 -
Operational Cash-Flow (EBITDA) 27,760.7 8,047.0 - 67,920.0 8,040.5 -
Statutory accounts Unit: 103 Euro

Euro

Norscut highway traffic has increased 8% in the first nine months of 2008 (considering full year opened stretches). The traffic increase, in the 3rd quarter, was slightly above 1%.

Financial costs are also in line with forecasts (Norscut has a full interest rate hedge in the current project phase).

[Overpass in A24 motorway – Castro d'Aire's Tunnel]

As previously mentioned an arbitration court was appointed to analyse Norscut's compensation claim for increased construction costs and loss of revenue resulting from delayed works completion, both arising from the Grantor's unilateral decision of changing the highway layout.

At the end of July, Norscut and the Portuguese State have signed an agreement to restore the financial balance of the concession by which Norscut was recognized the right to receive a total compensation amount of 291.9 million euro out of which 94.9 million euro are related with lost revenue and as such due to Norscut and the remaining 197.0 million euro are related to increased construction costs and due to the contractor.

In the context of this agreement Norscut has, in the beginning of August, raised an additional 18 month loan equivalent to the amount of the compensation agreed (291.9 million) guaranteed (principal and interest) by the Portuguese State. The goal is to reach an agreement with the Portuguese State before maturity of this additional loan, extending the concession period or through other actions, and at the same time refinance the outstanding debt (initial and additional debt). In case this is not available the Portuguese State will fully repay at maturity principal and interest on the additional loan.

  • The second business area, led by Spred, SGPS, SA (previously named Publimeios, SGPS, SA), includes businesses in three segments: identifying new business opportunities in emerging sectors or sectors undergoing restructuring, ownership and management of businesses with high potential for future development, whenever considered necessary in joint ventures with specialized third parties, and management of a financial portfolio.

18. DERIVATIVES

Interest rate derivatives

The hedging instruments used by the Group as at 30 September 2008 were mainly "swaps" and interest rate options (cash flow hedges) contracted with the goal of hedging interest rate risks on loans in the amount of 50,000,000 euro, whose net fair value was 346,470 euro. As at 30 September 2008, all derivatives are hedging derivatives.

These interest rate hedging instruments are valued at fair value as at the balance sheet date, determined by valuations made by the Group using derivative valuation calculation schedules and external valuations when these schedules do not permit the valuation of certain instruments. The determination of fair value of these financial instruments is based, for swaps, on updating on the balance sheet date the future cash flows resulting from the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg of the derivative and the variable interest rate indexed to the variable leg of the derivative. For options, fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes model and its variants.

The risk cover principles generally used by the Group to contractually arrange hedging instruments are as follows:

  • Matching between cash flows received and paid, i.e., there is a perfect match between the dates of the re-fixing of interest rates on financing contracted with the bank and the dates of the re-fixing of interest rates on the derivative;
  • Perfect matching between indices: the reference index for the hedging instrument and for the financing to which the underlying derivative relates are the same;
  • In the case of extreme rises in interest rates, the maximum cost of financing is limited.

The counterparts for derivatives are selected based on their financial strength and credit risk profile, with this profile being generally measured by a rating note attributed by rating agencies of recognised merit. The counterparts for derivatives are top level, highly prestigious financial institutions which are recognised nationally and internationally.

Fair value of derivatives

The fair value of derivatives is accounted in Investments held for trading, as follows:

The court decision dated 27 November 1997 (which confirms the terms approved in the creditors meeting of 23 September 1997) states that these credits will be payable 50 years from the date that the decision was confirmed (30 January 2003).

20. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In 2007 and previous years, the Sonae Capital Group granted deferred performance bonuses to employees, based on shares of Sonae SGPS, SA to be acquired at nil cost, three years after they were attributed to the employee. In any case, the acquisition can be exercised during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and the end of that year. The company has the choice to settle in cash instead of shares. The option can only be exercised if the employee still works for the Sonae Capital Group on the vesting date. On 28 January 2008 existing liabilities based on Sonae, SGPS, SA's shares have been recalculated to reflect liabilities based on Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA's shares. Closing share prices as at that date were used in this recalculation.

As at 30 September 2008 and 31 December 2007 the market value of total liabilities arising from share-based payments, which have not yet vested, may be summarised as follows:
